Mat snorted. “I don’t want to be any bloody hero.”
Bit late for that. For all of them.
“How do you feel about your prophesied destiny? I must know, if I am to compose this epic."
“Feel?” Rand looked around the camp, at the Jindo moving among the tents. How many of them would be dead before he was done? “Tired. I feel tired.”
In The Shadow Rising , there is a feeling of settling. That’s not to say that things aren’t still happening, oh they very much are. Rand is coming into his own and forging a nation in a way no one would expect, Matt is coming into an entirely new destiny.
Perrin… this is among my favorite parts of the series. When Perrin hears about White Cloaks and trollocs attacking the Two Rivers, he breaks away from Rand–which despite all his grumbling Matt was unable to do–and goes to help. While some of his reasons for doing so far a bit mad, he ends up where he needs to be. And Faile. Oh Faile. They’re good for one another, even if it takes them forever to realize it.
We’re also getting yet more expansion of the world–seeing the Aiel waste as the Aiel see it, along with a direct look deep into the history of the world. We see another of the great cities in Tanchico, along with putting a more human face on the Seanchan. And that storyline in the Tower. Oh how the world is changing. And oh much I know is yet to come.
One interesting thing that I hadn’t really put together before reading a few articles before this reread:Once the main characters split up and leave Tear... we'll not see so many of the main characters together again until the last battle--if then. It's like knowing that one day you will pick up your child for the last time. You don't know it when it happens and there's a whole lifetime yet ahead of you. But it's still the last time.

Learn Through YouTube
YouTube has a lot of good videos available to learn any programming language. For example, if you want to learn "C programming language", refer this link: Here is the link to C Tutorials. Most of the beginners are fearsome with the topic of “pointers in C language”. This topic can be learned from this video: Pointers in C. There are many YouTube channels dedicated to programming languages only, refer playlist of MYCODESCHOOL in case you want to save your precious time searching for the best one.
Learning by Doing
While learning any programming language it is mandatory to implement its program using any simulator or IDE. In order to implement C/ C++ programs, use Smart Phone C IDE from this you can run all programs on the smartphone [Warning: Running C programs on your smartphone will consume the significant amount of time. However, having a smartphone with the faster processor and higher RAM may provide good results]
After learning any programming language, it is equally important to evaluate whatever you learned. For example, you can refer online websites like Codeforwin which provides basic programming exercises and solutions to learn "C Programming Language". For more self-assessment tests and exercises, you can refer Geeksforgeeks.
Actually, there are a lot of Internet resources available to learn programming languages using your smart-phones, this article tells you about seven good apps to learn programming.
You will surely learn programming languages by completing all the above-mentioned steps in a sincerely. However, due to limitations of resources and their capacities, it is recommended to use laptop or desktop to learn to programme especially for practice purpose.

The National Football League has a new path for the next 11 years, and no roadblocks in the way.
On Sunday morning, the NFL Players Association announced that its members had ratified the proposed new Collective Bargaining Agreement by a vote of its members. A simple majority was needed for approval and it passed by a count of 1,019 to 959. Nearly 80% of the NFLPA's members posted a vote. The NFL had already approved the proposal before sending it to the NFLPA for its vote.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell released a statement thanking both sides of the negotiating table for an effort that ensures labor peace through 2030, calling it a "transformative" agreement.
"We are pleased that the players have voted to ratify the proposed new CBA, which will provide substantial benefits to all current and retired players, increase jobs, ensure continued progress on player safety, and give our fans more and better football," said Goodell. "We appreciate the tireless efforts of the members of the Management Council Executive Committee and the NFLPA leadership, both of whom devoted nearly a year to detailed, good faith negotiations to reach this comprehensive, transformative agreement."
The agreement was reached just three days before the start of the new league year, which is scheduled to commence on Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. ET. On Monday at noon ET, teams may begin contacting agents of players who are due to become free agents on Wednesday, assuming free agency is not postponed due to the national Coronavirus emergency.
The new CBA is indeed transformative as it paves the way for expansion of both the regular season and the playoffs. The postseason may be expanded to seven teams in each conference as soon as the upcoming season, and there is an option for a 17-game regular season as soon as 2021. The NFL last expanded its playoff field in 1990, going from five teams in each conference to six. The last time the regular season was lengthened was in 1978, when two games were added to move from 14 games to 16.
The players' share of league revenue increases in the new CBA, starting at 47% in 2020 and increasing to 48% in 2021. If the league expands to a 17-game season, that player percentage will increase to 48.5%. The minimum salaries will also increase substantially, as will performance-based pay.
There will also be more jobs to go around, beginning with an expansion of the practice squad from 10 to 12 players in 2020, and to 14 spots in 2022. Active spots on game day will increase from 46 to 48. The active roster will remain at 53, but teams can promote from the practice squad up to 55 players for a game, with the promoted players then reverting back to the practice squad.
Other notable changes in the new CBA included an increase in benefits and pension amounts for retired players, alterations to the testing process and suspensions for players who test positive for THC and a decrease in padded practices during training camp from 28 to 16.
There is also one immediate impact of the new CBA being ratified on the cusp of free agency. Had no new deal been put in place, the league would have played the 2020 season in the final year of the CBA put in place in 2011. That agreement allowed for teams to use both a franchise and a transition tag on potential free agents this year. The new CBA restores the usual tag rules, which means teams once again can use only one of those two potential tags.

Dynamic gene expression changes precede dioxin-induced liver pathogenesis in medaka fish.
Journal Article (Journal Article)
A major challenge for environmental genomics is linking gene expression to cellular toxicity and morphological alteration. Herein, we address complexities related to hepatic gene expression responses after a single injection of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) agonist 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (dioxin) and illustrate an initial stress response followed by cytologic and adaptive changes in the teleost fish medaka. Using a custom 175-gene array, we find that overall hepatic gene expression and histological changes are strongly dependent on dose and time. The most pronounced dioxin-induced gene expression changes occurred early and preceded morphologic alteration in the liver. Following a systematic search for putative Ah response elements (AHREs) (5'-CACGCA-3') within 2000 bp upstream of the predicted transcriptional start site, the majority (87%) of genes screened in this study did not contain an AHRE, suggesting that gene expression was not solely dependent on AHRE-mediated transcription. Moreover, in the highest dosage, we observed gene expression changes associated with adaptation that persisted for almost two weeks, including induction of a gene putatively identified as ependymin that may function in hepatic injury repair. These data suggest that the cellular response to dioxin involves both AHRE- and non-AHRE-mediated transcription, and that coupling gene expression profiling with analysis of morphologic pathogenesis is essential for establishing temporal relationships between transcriptional changes, toxicity, and adaptation to hepatic injury.

GENEVA – The 34th session of the Human Rights Council, currently taking place at Palais des Nations, presents the opportunity to hold in depth discussions with experts about countries with serious human rights situations. North Korea, Iran and Syria are just a few of the countries that the Council has devoted meetings to this session.
Item 4 of the The Human Rights Council Agenda establishes the obligation of the Council to directly address human rights situations that require urgent attention and allows for the possibility to create mechanisms such as Commissions of Inquiry and Special Rapporteurs to further investigate situations in specific countries. The Council has established Commissions of Inquiry in both Syria and Iran, and designated a Special Rapporteur to monitor North Korea, all of which have been denied entry to their respective country.
Arbitrary detention, torture and execution were common concerns raised in the meetings on all three countries. During the three meetings, State and NGO Representatives widely accused the governments in these country of condoning and carrying out these violent and inhumane practices.
In the case of North Korea, Special Rapporteur, Mr. Quintana warned that the North Korean government’s prioritization of developing ballistic missiles is having a direct negative impact on the welfare of the country’s people. He also spoke of the elevated tensions in the region and the obligation of the Human Rights Council to alleviate som
e of that tension.
When it came to the dialogue on Iran, media censorship, persecution of religious minorities, and the use of the death penalty were front and center. Special Rapporteur, Ms. Asma Jahangir, also insisted on the need for free and impartial press and the guarantee of political dissent without repercussions.
During the Discussion on Syria, one panelist, Mr. Mazen Darwish, director of the Syrian Centre for Media and Freedom of Expression who was himself detained between 2012 and 2015, spoke of the ubiquity of detention centers. He stated that he believes the horrendous living conditions and the torture that occurs in these centers play an integral role in perpetuating violent extremism.
Panelists, State and NGO representatives urged the governments of Syria, North Korea and Iran to grant UN experts and Humanitarian organizations unfettered access to their countries and to put an end to all practices that impinge on human dignity.
The 34th session of the Human Rights Council will continue until the 24th of March, during which Mali, Haiti, and Libya, among several other countries, will be discussed.

Gothic Metallers MALACODA released their new EP Crawling Chaos on April 2nd, independently. Today the band has unleashed a bass playthrough for “Deadlights” performed by bassist Zak Stulla. The track is taken from the band’s new EP. Watch below.
Zak comments: “Filming this play through was a lot of fun as this song is one that I can’t wait to play live. The fast rhythms really drive the intensity of the song.“
Malacoda adds – “The song is based on the movie, It’s one of the better horror movie remakes that’s come out recently. We really tried to capture the emotion from the film with this one.” – Lucas Di Mascio
The first single “Crawling Chaos” was unleashed on all streaming services on February 5th. ‘Crawling Chaos’ is the band’s first new release since 2018’s ‘Restless Dreams’ and is a return to the band’s more cinematic and gothic roots as heard on Ritualis Aeterna (2016) as well as a deeper exploration of melodic vocal hooks as heard on their self-titled debut (2014). In the summer of 2019 the band formed a new live lineup and embarked on a small tour around Ontario, including a final show at Toronto’s legendary Rockpile venue before heading into the studio.
With music described as “dark, foreboding and with lyrics to enjoy as well as unsettle.” (Powerplay Mag UK) being a constant in the band’s sound, the next step would be to write a follow up to Restless Dreams. While looking for a drummer, the band recorded throughout the rest of 2019/2020 with friends behind the drum kit.

What is the situation like for human rights defenders, working on business-related human rights issues in Kazakhstan? Are there sufficient protections for HRDs?
In general, the situation with human rights defenders is the same as in the country on the whole: no one is protected; sometimes human rights defenders themselves need protection.
What are the greatest risks human rights defenders are currently facing? Has the situation improved or worsened over the last five years? Has it changed during COVID-19, and if so how?
In the banking sector it remained at the same level. I think it is due to the fact that there are a lot of borrowers with problem loans, and if human rights defenders begin to accumulate this force, it can become a threat. Therefore, in this area, there is not so much pressure on human rights defenders. Let’s say there are not so many activists in the political field, but in Kazakhstan there is a great number of borrowers with problem loans. Therefore, I think the authorities are acting carefully here: they interact, meet, work, help, at this moment the state is taking an unprecedented step, there is a write-off of troubled mortgage loans. Over the past 5 years, most likely it has worsened; there are many politically motivated cases.
Can you tell us more about your work on business and human rights?
Now my probation term is coming to an end, only 1 month left. Additional punishment restriction is not to conduct public activities for a period of 2 years. During the term, there was no particular pressure, because there was already a court decision, since I was already under restriction. At any moment, I could be sentenced to imprisonment for violation. If peopel come to us, we help to resolve the issue with banks. Everything takes place at the level of negotiations. The peak of my activity was in 2015-2018, when we organized rallies near banks, defended people’s housing from bailiffs, in brief, the struggle was tough.
Can you share the kinds of threats and attacks you have experienced as a result of it? How were companies involved in this?
Three or four years ago, I was often invited to talks by the Akimat – Department of Domestic Policy: they would say I shouldn’t engage in public activities or may end up jail.There were situations when my husband was threatened, they said, “Watch your wife if you want to see her alive”.
They threatened my mother – she had a bank loan, so they tried to manipulate through the bank. Then they began to put pressure on my eldest daughter: police planted her drugs (anasha). They kept her all night at the police station, did not allow her to make a phone call, they wrote strange SMS messages from her number, at the same time my husband and I were searching for her all night in hospitals and police stations, and the next morning they gave her the phone and said, “Invite only your mother”. And at that time I thought that I would go on the warpath for the sake of my child, if they did not stop putting pressure on our kids, then I would take drastic measures. After that, my family was left in peace, but I also had to calm down.


text: Individuals and communities have traditionally been the focus of criminological research, but recently criminologists have begun to explore the importance of "micro" places in understanding and controlling crime. Research provides strong evidence that crime is strongly clustered at "hot spots" and that there are important developmental trends of crime at place, but little is known about the geographic distribution of these patterns or the specific correlates of crime at this micro level of geography. The author's question concerns whether social disorganization and opportunity measures vary across micro units of geography, and whether they are clustered, like crime, into "hot spots." Using group-based trajectory modeling to identify eight broad developmental patterns across street segments in Seattle, the findings in this regard follow an earlier NIJ study that identified distinct developmental trends (e.g. high increasing and high decreasing patterns) while noting the overall stability of crime trends for the majority of street segments in Seattle. Examination of the geography of the developmental crime patterns observed, the authors find evidence of strong heterogeneity of trajectory patterns at street segments with the presence of chronic trajectory street segments throughout the city and a strong street-to-street variability in crime patterns suggesting area trends influence micro level trends. Overall, street segments evidencing higher social disorganization are also found to have higher levels of crime. Similarly, in the case of opportunity measures related to motivated offenders, suitable crime targets, and their accessibility, the authors find that greater opportunities for crime are found at street segments in higher rate trajectory patterns. Findings suggest that both perspectives have considerable salience in understanding crime at place, and together they allow us to develop a very strong level of prediction of crime.

Leading auditors on alert as ethical standards consultation launched
Leading accountancy firms have been warned over possible issues of independence as echoes appear of pre-Enron days where auditors earned far more from additional work for clients aside from the basic audit.
The Financial Reporting Council says the Big Four accountants - PwC, KPMG, Deloitte and Ernst & Young - should not be doing internal work for companies whose accounts they sign off.
FRC chief executive Paul Boyle has written to all four warning they 'may want to be cautious before entering into arrangements which stretch the internal/external audit boundary'.
The numbers game: Enron at the Royal Court stars Samuel West and satirises Arthur Andersen
It has launched an ethical standards inquiry which is scrutinising
the extent to which auditors sell advice to clients, and the resulting
conflicts of interest which may arise.
Accountants using certain audit packages to win a client - such as
KPMG did with Rentokil recently , providing services which would have
been undertaken by Rentokil - was looked at by the Treasury Select
Once firms win clients, industry figures show they earn vast sums from additional work for the clients - and this is taking place less than ten years after a clampdown on such cosy relationships in the wake of the Enron scandal.

Brown spot and Alternata spot
Pacific Pests, Pathogens, Weeds & Pesticides
Passionfruit spots (153)
Photo 1. Spots, light brown with yellow haloes, on leaf of passionfruit caused by Alternaria alternata.
Photo 2. Spots on passionfruit caused by Alternaria passiflora; they are generally larger than those of Alternaria alternata, especially on the fruits and stems.
Photo 3. Deeply sunken spots on a granadilla fruit, covered with dark spore masses of Alternaria passiflorae.
Alternaria passiflorae (brown spot) and Alternaria alternata (Alternata spot).
Alternaria passiflorae is recorded from Australia, Fiji, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Niue, Papua New Guinea, and Tonga. Alternaria alternata is reported from Australia, Niue, Samoa, and Vanuatu.
Passionfruit, granadilla and weed relatives (e.g., stinking passion flower, Passiflora foetida).
Symptoms of both species are similar and it would be difficult to tell them apart without microscopic examination of the fungi involved.
On the leaves, the spots are 6-10 mm wide, brown at first, becoming light brown later. Yellow haloes surround the spots of Alternaria alternata (Photo 1). Leaves fall after developing only a few spots. Spots also occur on the stems; those of Alternaria passiflorae are larger, up to 30 mm, and sometimes girdle and kill the stems (Photo 2). Stem spots of Alternaria alternata rarely kill the stems.
Similar symptoms occur on granadilla (Photo 3).
On the fruits, the spots start as tiny greyish spots, and then become light brown, and finally dark brown (Photo 4), with wrinkled, sunken centres (Alternaria alternata), usually less than 10 mm diameter. Spots of Alternaria alternata are generally larger, and may cover one side of the fruit.
Spores produced on the fruit, leaves and stems are spread in wind and rain.
Two fungi are the cause of these two closely related diseases. They are especially severe in warm, wet weather. In Samoa, it is estimated that losses from Alternaria alternata can reach 30% in the higher areas where the crop is grown. There are, however, differences between varieties in their resistance to the disease. Spots less than 10 mm on the fruits can still be used for juice, but, if more than that, the fruits usually have internal rots and cannot be processed.
Alternaria alternata and Alternaria passiflorae are both serious diseases in Australia. They can cause significant loss of yield due to leaf damage, and in the case of infection by Alternaria alternata, damage to the fruit, so that it is only fit for processing.
Look for brown spots with light centres on the fruit, leaves and stem. Look for the wrinkled spots on the fruits; those of Alternaria passiflorae are sunken, rotting the flesh beneath the skin.
Cultural control is particularly important in the management of this disease:
- Spacing: Allow space between rows of plants so that air can circulate and dry leaves quickly after rain.
- Nutrition: Ensure that plants have sufficient manure or fertilizer for good health.
- Pruning: Prune vines to remove dead and weak sections; this will allow better air circulation and penetration of fungicide, if used.
- Weeds: Wild species of passionfruit are susceptible, and a source of spores. Remove white passion flower (Passiflora subpeltata), and stinking passion flower (Passiflora foetida) if these are growing nearby.
- Hygiene: After pruning, collect the debris and burn it. Note, the fungus can remain alive in the soil between fruiting seasons.
Yellow passionfruit is tolerant, but purple passion fruit and hybrids between purple and yellow are very susceptible.
Where these diseases are present, in countries that are hot and have high rainfall, chemical control may be required to obtain an acceptable crop. If fungicides are needed, use sprays of copper or mancozeb.
When using a pesticide, always wear protective clothing and follow the instructions on the product label, such as dosage, timing of application, and pre-harvest interval. Recommendations will vary with the crop and system of cultivation. Expert advice on the most appropriate pesticide to use should always be sought from local agricultural authorities.

1 in 5 U.S. Deaths are smoking related. This includes second hand smoke and infant death due to smoking during pregnancy.
According to the center for Desease Control in an average year Americans lose 5.5 million years of expected life. This works out to more than 12 years per person.
Secondhand smoke kills approximately 600,000 people world wide each year.
In 2007 lung cancer killed 158, 683 people–88,243 men and 70,354 women. Smoking is responsible for 85% of Lung cancers in the U.S.
It takes 10 days for all the toxins to leave a persons body after quitting smoking. Only about 7% of smokers succeed at quitting smoking on their first try. And 3.5% of people quit smoking cold turkey. 50% of people intoxicated with alcohol will relapse into smoking. There is a 90% reducd rate of dying if a person smoking quits before age 30. There is a 50% reducd rate of dying if a person smoking quits before age 50.

18 April – 1 July 2018
18 April – 1 July 2018
144 – 152 Bermondsey Street
London SE1 3TQ
White Cube Bermondsey presented a large-scale exhibition of works by Beatriz Milhazes. This exhibition foregrounded Milhazes’ explorations in a variety of media including painting, installation, sculpture and collage and her first ever tapestry: a unique, major work created especially for the show.
Milhazes has said: ‘I want to have optical movements, disturbing things; such visions that your eyes would be disturbed when you see them.’ Creating what she has termed a ‘dialogue between symbolism and materiality’, achieved through a dense process of physical and conceptual layering, her works employ an abundance of form and colour to offer a vertiginous visual experience.
In a new series of paintings, which make reference to the flattened sense of space in Matisse’s paper cut-outs and the colourful compositions of modernist painter and designer Sonia Delaunay, Milhazes continues to employ a bright, riotous colour palette with ‘Neo-Concretist’ and geometric shapes. Circular forms, abstract and floral patterning and solid expanses of single colours are set against parallel or undulating lines; images that echo both the tropical profusion of Brazil’s native flora and the delicate transparency and grid-like features of its modernist architecture. In O grande dia (2016−17) for example, interlocking cog-like shapes, which suggest the interior mechanism of a watch or machine are set against expanding starburst-like lines to create a restless and energetic surface. Likewise, in Sonho Tropical (2017), a series of incomplete semi-circles and circles as well as varied linear patterning draws the eye from edge to edge of the canvas.
Milhazes explores a similar language of forms and chromatic focus in three-dimensions with the hanging sculptures Mariola and Marola (both 2010−15). These structures, akin to a mobile, composed of tactile, colourful objects strung along their fine, vertical threads, cascade to the floor. Combining both found and made materials, they are each hung from, and based on, a drawing which Milhazes cuts out of a metal disc, which also forms a kind of ‘ceiling’ for each work. Every element of the sculpture precisely follows this initial plate drawing, creating a play between two and three dimensions and a sense of diagrammatic volume. Likewise, the installation Gamboa II (2015–16) comprises five, highly complex and densely worked sculptures which incorporate a seemingly infinite number of light pastel-coloured plastic objects – the kind commonly used to decorate floats during Carnival processions – into chandelier-like objects. Initially created as part of a stage design for the Marcia Milhazes Dance Company, they again formed the staging for a choreographed performance by the same company, entitled Guarde-Me which took place during the first week of the exhibition.
The centrepiece of the exhibition was Rio azul (2016−18), a large-scale tapestry installed on the back wall of South Gallery II. Inspired by the work of Brazilian modernist artist and landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx, this dynamic, expansive installation, which measures 16 metres wide and is nearly 3 metres tall, is composed of wave-like, linear forms, geometric blocks, circles, leaves and flowers to create a kind of kinetic landscape, as if glimpsed through and behind a screen of botanical and architectural shapes. Made over a period of two years with master weavers at Pinton Mill in France, its multi-hued wool fibres, each one individually hand-dyed, fashion an intricate expanse of lustrous tonal depth and luxurious surface texture.
In contrast, Milhazes’ exhibited a new series of small-scale paper collages, also using overlaid elements to create equally dense and complex compositions. In a similar manner to Milhazes’ paintings, they reference both Brazilian and European abstraction through their multitude of cut-out forms. Incorporating found papers, wrappers and labels with specially printed serigraphic paper in various solid hues as well as fragments of Milhazes’ own screen-prints, their intricate, three-dimensional surfaces appear in relief, allowing the process of the work’s making to be clearly visible.

Unspeakable Horror 3: Dark Rainbow Rising edited by Vince A. Liaguno
Trade Paperback – Crystal Lake Publishing – 2023 – 304 pages
The third terrifying volume in the award-winning anthology series of original queer horror.
Like the final girl in a slasher film, the LGBTQIA community knows first-hand what it’s like to fight for its survival. Beaten and bloodied after an extended chase scene through modern-day politics and the courts, we think we’ve triumphed and conquered our oppressors. We breathe a little easier knowing our rainbow is ascending in the distance. But—like the indestructible slasher villain—our enemies rise up again and again, as if on a looping third-act jump scare. It’s a seemingly never-ending return to battle as the pendulum of progress swings back.
In this third volume of the award-winning anthology series, the darkest minds from both the LGBT+ and horror literary communities join forces to bring readers an all-new collection of terrifying tales from that line on the horizon where the dark rainbow rises.
Featuring work by:
- Hailey Piper,
- Eric LaRocca,

Authorities in Zambia have banned an energy drink after laboratory results showed that it contained the active ingredient of the anti-impotence drug Viagra.
In a statement late on Wednesday authorities in the Zambian city of Ndola where the manufacturer is based, ordered “a product recall of natural high energy drink SX”.
Produced by Revin Zambia Limited, Natural Power SX is exported to various African countries including Uganda.
Ndola city spokesperson Tilyenji Mwanza said in the statement that results from Zimbabwe and South Africa correlated with those from tests conducted in Zambia which indicated “a positive presence of Sildenafil Citrate”.
In December last year, the medicine regulatory authority said that the drink was adulterated with Sildenafil Citrate – a drug used to treat erectile dysfunction and dispensed under the brand name Viagra.
Early this year, Uganda’s National Drug Authority (NDA) said it was investigating the energy drink over allegations of causing abnormal erections among men following a complaint from a consumer who reportedly developed an erection that lasted to six hours after taking the drink.
In a December 28 letter and received on January 4, 2019 by Uganda National Bureau of Standards (UNBS),NDA said it is their mandate to ensure availability at all times of essential, efficacious and cost effective drugs to the population, they received a complaint from a consumer about the energy drink.
“Following the complaint, NDA sampled the product (batch number E66C and expiring on 30thAugust 2019) from Mega Standard Supermarket on 30th October 2018 and subjected it to full monograph analysis using a method adopted from USP. The results obtained indicated that the product was adulterated with Sildenafil Citrate,” letter reads in part.
Adding, “This therefore, to share the findings of this anaylsis with UNBS for your further management since NDA does not regulate energy drinks.”

2016 Chevy Traverse release date, changes, ltz
Chevrolet Traverse is a highly successful full-size SUV that has been recorded to sell 100,000 units in North America alone. Not very long ago, GM unveiled their new addition to the luxury crossover SUV segment going by the name of 2016 Chevy Traverse. This vehicle will not be a new model, but a slightly refreshed version of its old model and will feature some changes in its outer visuals, interior decor along with superior performance and better fuel efficiency. Upon release, 2016 Chevy Traverse will compete with models like Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia.
2016 Chevy Traverse: Redesign Exterior and Interior
The car makers have decided not to mess with their tried and tested formula and introduce a completely reworked model to the public. The 2016 Chevy Traverse will only sport minor refreshments to its exterior in the form of improved head and taillights, slightly modified grille design and a new platform known as the Lambda. Even though we were harbouring hope of having a completely reworked design with more aggressive features, it is not to happen anytime soon. Due to its new platform, this car will lose some amount of weight, and this will likely result in lower fuel consumption, which is a win-win for everyone.
Interior of 2016 Chevy Traverse will have more cabin space owing to reworked seating arrangements and will hold seven passengers with utmost ease. If the need arises to store a good extra bit of cargo, there is an option to remove the back seats temporarily and make further room for carrying of materials. Seat covers will be available in cloth and leather variants. Needless to say, leather covers will increase the car’s luxury quotient and lend a fair extra bit of comfort to its seats.
Additionally, there will be a 6.5 inch touchscreen centre console alongside a great audio system, rear parking sensors, Navigation, safety airbags and a host of couple other infotainment and safety features. Chevrolet is not a company that will make compromises when it comes to providing quality features to their customers.
2016 Chevy Traverse: Engine Specs
It is very likely that the automakers will carry over the previously found engines into the upcoming 2016 Chevy Traverse. The engines might remain same, but we are expecting improvements in both performance and fuel economy. This SUV will be equipped with 3.6 litres V6 inline-4 engine that will be able to produce 288 hp and 270 pound-feet torque. The all-wheel drive variant will deliver a maximum of 280 hp and 265 lb-ft of torque. Regardless, this engine will be mated to a 6-speed auto transmission system. Fuel consumption rates are not yet available, but we expect this car to be slightly more fuel efficient than its predecessor.
2016 Chevy Traverse: Release Date and Price
Price of 2016 Chevy Traverse will not increase dramatically and is expected to be somewhere around $ 32 000 for the base model. There have not been any confirmations yet regarding its release date, but we are expecting it to roll out in the later part of 2015 or early 2016.

Tracking down the elusive Tri-Tip steak in NYC has not been easy. It’s just not an east coast cut. We could learn a thing or two from our west coast friends. Amazing, but true.
One NYC butcher required that I buy an entire crate. I like steak, but not a crate-worth. The butcher shop over at Chelsea Market, Dickson’s Farmstand Meats, was interesting. I happened to walk in just as they were breaking down a side of beef and the butcher chopped one off for me. Timing is everything, but lurking outside the butcher’s waiting for the right moment seems excessive. Even for me.
Sometimes you discover the solution has been there all along: Ottomanelli’s in the West Village. They’ve been around for awhile: 110 years. Which is pretty impressive and it means they know a thing or two about meat. Eureka: they have tri-tip, all the time, for $7.99 lb.
Seared, herbed and oiled. A great cut of meat and most satisfying meal.


LEON, Mexico—Michelin has started construction in Mexico of its 21st factory in North America—eight years after the global economic crisis of 2008 forced it to postpone the project.
“I'm really excited because a few years ago, in 2008, I had to come to this country to postpone our investment because of the crisis,” Michelin CEO Jean-Dominique Senard said. “At the same time I was incredibly impressed by the way the Mexican authorities took the news. So coming back with the decision (to revive the project) is a joy.”
Senard had earlier hosted a groundbreaking ceremony at the 242-acre site in central Mexico where the French tire company is investing $510 million in what, according to one senior executive, will be Michelin's first greenfield passenger tire plant in North America in three decades.
In a speech, Senard said the León investment is the tire maker's largest investment anywhere in 2016.
“The last time we launched a greenfield passenger tire plant in North America was over 30 years ago,” said Scott Clark, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Michelin North America. “So this is not something we do every day. This is a big deal and this is exactly the right place to be and at the right time.”
The factory, which will employ 1,000 when finished in late 2018, will be within a three-hour drive of 18 car maker assembly plants, Clark said. It is located in a new industrial park called Leon-Bajio, which stands beside the Leon-Silao highway.
The facility will have an annual installed production capacity of between 4 million and 5 million Michelin-brand tires, mostly in 18-inch-plus sizes for North American original equipment and replacement markets.
The plant's output will “reflect the tremendous growth in the SUV, CUV and pickup markets, followed closely by high-performance tires,” Clark said. Most of the replacement tires will go to the U.S. and Canada, he added.
The plant, which will cover 1.5 million square feet, will have its own rubber mixing capabilities, according to the executive—something which he said is “not completely unique in the Michelin group.”
Asked about possible expansion plans, he said: “We take it one step at a time. We have almost (240 acres), which is an enormous amount of space. The likelihood of the plant expanding is very high.”
“There's no plan as we speak to expand (this plant). But it's bound to expand one day,” Senard added.
Michelin already employs 700 in Mexico, primarily at a plant in Queretaro, 107 miles southeast of Leon, which makes non-Michelin brand tires such as BFGoodrich, Uniroyal, Taurus and Tigar. The plant has an installed annual capacity of 2 million tires.
Pete Selleck, chairman and president, Michelin North America Inc., said that Michelin has “figured out how to operate within Mexico's labor laws, which has given us much more confidence in taking this huge step (in Leon).”
He said that “labor issues” forced the company to mothball the Queretaro facility between August 2000 and April 2002.
“We had a situation that was untenable. I was involved. We tried to resolve it.”
Closing the plant, he said, was “one of the most difficult decisions” as it meant several hundred jobs were lost.
Referring to the Leon project, known internally as MX2, he added: “I've been with the company for 34 years, and so for me it's very gratifying to see us reach this point.”
Idelfonso Guajardo Villarreal, Mexico's federal economy secretary, told the groundbreaking ceremony's audience of several hundred that by year-end 2018 the Mexican tire industry's annual installed production capacity will be 31 million, compared with 21 million today.
“The new Michelin investment in Mexico represents a vote of confidence that strengthens the positioning of Mexico as an investment destination, because it comes from a company with a long tradition in the industry and widely recognized for its commitment to innovation,” Mr. Guajardo Villarreal said.
Miguel Marquez Marquez, governor of the Estate of Guanajuato, Mexico, called Michelin's arrival the "most important investment for Leon so far" and said the tire maker's investment "will trigger social and economic development...."
Leon Mayor Hector Lopez Santillana said Michelin's choice of Leon recognizes the strengths we have and our ability to become an international economic actor.
"With this new plant, Leon will provide greater dynamism to the expanding automotive sector in the Bajio region. We are confident that together, we will open a new era of opportunities and shared development.”

Buyer's Guide: Best Food for Puppies
Each meal included on this page meets the nutritional requirements of pups. These diets ensure that your puppy receives the nutrients it requires after weaning. In addition to containing a high quantity of protein, the most proper puppy diets should have all the essential nutrients for your dog's development and growth.
The good news is:
This guide offers all the necessary facts for making the best decision.
Good Ingredients in Puppy Food
- Real meat: Muscle growth requires a lot of lean protein for puppies. And there is no greater source than actual, unprocessed meat. The most acceptable protein sources for pups are chicken, beef, and salmon. The meats of rabbits and ducks are suitable for sensitive dogs.
- Whole grains or simple carbs: It is vital to choose the good carbohydrates for your dog to avoid stomach troubles. Whole grains like barley, oats and brown rice are recommended because they have a lot of fiber and make digestion easier. Choose a meal containing easily digestible carbohydrates, such as sweet potatoes, lentils, and peas, if your dog is sensitive to wheat.
- Natural fats and oils: Fats are essential for providing your puppy with energy and nourishing their coat. The greatest fats for pups are natural fats derived from animals or plants. Animal fats such as salmon, chicken, and fish oil are great for fatty acids and DHA. Similarly, oils derived from plants, such as sunflower oil, flaxseed oil, and canola oil, include several omega fatty acids and minerals.
- Natural preservatives: When purchasing puppy food, check for the absence of artificial preservatives, particularly BHA and BHT. Look for healthier and non-harmful alternatives, such as vitamin E (mixed tocopherols) and vitamin C (ascorbic acid).
Harmful ingredients in puppy food
- Meat by-products: Some dog food makers use meat by-products as a source of protein to minimize expenses. Compared to actual meat, these by-products typically consist of scraps such as bones and organs and have little nutritional value.
- Corn and wheat: Corn and wheat are rich cereals that puppies with immature digestive systems find difficult to digest. They are typically fillers and add no nutrients to your dog's development.
- Rendered fats: Numerous dog food manufacturers disguise low-quality fats with generic terms such as "animal fat." These rendered fats may originate from ill or deceased animals, whose fat typically contains poisons.
Difference Between Puppies and Adult Dogs
Puppies develop quickly, creating muscles and bones and maturing organs. In contrast, adult dogs are preserving their health and bodies. Feeding your puppy the proper food is essential to ensure its growth is adequately fueled.
In simple terms, a puppy has much more extensive nutritional needs than an adult dog. Puppies have significantly more energy and require more food to sustain their growing bones and bodies. As a puppy owner, you should ensure that every calorie delivers nutritious food.
The Association of American Feed Control Officials has established norms and guidelines that specify what ingredients are permitted in puppy and adult dog food. AAFCO has developed recommendations to categorize foods based on their nutritional value and primary constituents.
Here is a list of the AAFCO-recommended nutrients and how they differ between puppy food and adult dog food:
- Protein: 22% or higher for puppies and 18% for adult dogs
- Fat: 8% for puppies and 5% for adult dogs
- Calcium: 1% for puppies and 0.6% for adult dogs
- Phosphorus: 0.8% for puppies and 0.5% for adult dogs
- Sodium: 0.3% for puppies and 0.06% for adult dogs
Please note that these are general dog and puppy calculations. These figures can vary significantly based on your dog's breed and size.
Purchasing the Appropriate Puppy Food – Considerations
It is critical to ensure that the puppy food you select contains the nutrients and characteristics your pet needs to grow. Here are several things to think about to assist you in making your choice:
Wet vs. Dry Food
When your puppy is making the initial move away from his mother's milk, wet food may be essential. Wet food is softer and makes it easier to consume solids. Introduce your puppy to moist food when they are less than a few months old. Since dietary requirements will continue to evolve, you can add dry foods. Most puppy foods are not very tough, but you can soften kibble further by mixing it with wet food or adding a little water. After three months, you can transition your dog to dry food if you believe they are ready.
Puppies require critical omegas, especially omega-3 fatty acids, for their fur and bodily functions. In addition to maintaining a healthy coat, it aids in vision development.
Options Free of Grain
If your puppy has a sensitive stomach, grain-free food is the best alternative. Although whole grains provide calcium and vitamins, they are typically utilized as fillers in dog food. Consequently, a meal consisting of vegetables, fruits, and meat will give a greater proportion of the healthier elements required by growing puppies.
Appropriate Portion Size
Establishing a routine and dividing daily caloric and nutrient needs into multiple little meals is better. Consult the serving size recommendations on the food's packaging for clarification.
Consider your puppy's dietary requirements when shopping for food. The transition period ranges between nine and thirteen months, depending on the breed. Introduce your puppy to adult food once daily to simplify the transition.
It's important to gradually switch your puppy to a new food brand so their digestive system can get used to it. Not all types of puppy food are good for every puppy. So if you notice any changes or are unsure what kind of food to get, talk to your vet.
Frequently Asked Questions About Best Food for Puppies
Feeding your puppy a high-quality commercial kibble is the best way to ensure they get all the nutrients they need for growth and development. You can also add cooked meats and vegetables or rice as you wish, but the main part of their diet must come from the commercial kibble.
Once your puppy is around 8 weeks old, you can start feeding them soft foods like canned or dehydrated dog food. However, you will not want to start feeding them any hard foods until they are at least 9-10 weeks old.
Puppies should be fed three or four times a day. If you are currently feeding them ¾ of a cup of food twice a day, you should try feeding them ½ cup of food three times a day instead.
Wet food is a good choice for young puppies because it is easier to chew and swallow. Puppies who have just transitioned to solid foods can find it difficult to chew and swallow, so wet food is a better option.
Puppies should not be bathed until at least four weeks old, and six or eight weeks is better. Puppies have difficulty controlling their body temperature and can become chilly at this age. If the puppies get sick with diarrhea, you may need to give them a bath, but the stress of the bath can make the illness worse.
Puppies should have three meals every day until they are between four and six months of age. After that, they can eat twice a day. If you cannot feed them three times a day, that's okay.
Young puppies generally poop four to five times a day. As they grow older, this number decreases because they can control their bowels for longer and eat less frequently. Puppies typically poop more because they eat more frequently and can't control their bowels than older dogs.
Feeding your dog chicken and rice every day is not a good idea. While this dish is healthy for dogs, it does not have all the nutrients they need. Dogs get nutrients from other food sources, such as red meats and vegetables.
