INGOLSTADT MOVES TO CATCH RIVALS The debut of the pocket-sized Q2 crossover at the Geneva motor show next week won't be the first or the last step in Ingolstadt's advance against competitors. The Q2 will allow the automaker to take on the Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class directly in a segment getting more lucrative every month, but there is still room at the other end of the size spectrum. Audi will roll out the Q8 in 2019, a vehicle set to battle the BMW X6 and the Mercedes-Benz GLE-Coupe. Expect the Q8 to feature design elements previewed by coupe concepts like the Audi Prologue, though the vehicle itself will be based on the Q7, which went on sale in the U.S. last month. For Audi, the focus on crossovers and SUVs is nothing new, though its lineup has lagged behind new entries from European rivals. Late to the party, Audi's success now depends on the large coupe-style premium SUV segment still being in demand three years from now -- an uncomfortably long stretch when it comes to automotive fashion. Before the Q8 debuts, Audi plans to roll out an electric SUV in 2018. Expected to be positioned just below the Q7 in size, the unnamed SUV will use tech and styling previewed by the e-tron quattro concept shown at the Frankfurt motor show last fall. The Q5-sized concept featured three motors -- one driving the front wheels and two driving the rear wheels -- drawing juice from a 95 kWh battery. The pure-electric concept, which can charged in 50 minutes, boasts a range of 310 miles. When the production version lands, it will take on the Tesla Model X in addition to hybrids and hydrocarbon-powered SUVs, Audi hopes.

Rejig meals with crunchy, colourful vegetables and fruits The importance of vegetables and fruits in our diets has never been debatable. This food group is an integral and valuable component of a healthy diet and is often referred as the protective food group, owing to its disease-fighting properties. Regular and daily consumption of fruits and vegetables could prevent a wide range of illnesses such as heart disease, hypertension, obesity, respiratory diseases, osteoporosis, immune system problems and even certain cancers. Nutritionally speaking, fruits and vegetables are low in calories, high in dietary fibre, vitamins and minerals, and a myriad of beneficial non-nutrient substances called phyto-nutrients including plant sterols, flavonoids and antioxidants. Some of these also impart bright colour to fruits and vegetables and act as scavengers by cleaning up disease-causing free radicals. Fibre is important for digestion and nutrient absorption. Interestingly, phyto-nutrients have also been linked to obesity management, independently. Green leafy vegetables have an added advantage, as they are rich in special kinds of anti-inflammatory fats, which are precursors to Omega-3 fats present in fish. Vegetables and fruits constitute a low-calorie, nutrient-dense food group, high in water content, fibre, micronutrients and antioxidants, and minerals like magnesium and potassium. They are also known to make our diets alkaline. Hence they are aptly called functional foods. Reduced fruit and vegetable consumption is linked to poor health and increased risk of non-communicable diseases. According to WHO (World Health Organisation), an estimated 5.2 million deaths worldwide were attributable to inadequate fruit and vegetable consumption. Several studies have associated low intake of fruits and vegetables with increased risk of chronic diseases and poor nutritional status. WHO recommends a minimum of 400 gm of fruit and vegetables per day (excluding potatoes and other starchy tubers) for prevention of chronic diseases and alleviation of several micronutrient deficiencies, especially in less developed countries. However, according to their reports, fruit and vegetable intake globally has been found to be below the recommended daily intake of 400 gm/person. Nearly 60 to 87 per cent adults globally fall short of the WHO recommendation and are missing out on crucial nutrition. In fact, according to the Global Phytonutrient Report released in February 2016, Indians on an average are consuming barely 250 gm/ day. This implies that most adults worldwide are not receiving the quantity or variety of phytonutrients that they need to support good health and wellness. It’s not that people don’t eat fruits and vegetables, but there still exists a large gap between the recommended and actual intakes. Also, when we look at the Indian po[CENSORED]tion, which is believed to be largely vegetarian, the very concept of vegetarianism is different. Typical Indian vegetarian menus comprise largely of cottage cheese, lentils, pulses, potatoes and other starchy vegetables, yogurt etc rather than crispy, crunchy and colourful vegetables. To meet the WHO recommendation of consuming 400 g of fruits and vegetables a day, an easy and simple suggestion is that adults worldwide double their current consumption. So include them not only in your meals but also add these to your salads, vegetable juices, raitas and snacks. Or better still, dedicate a full meal to largely vegetables and fruits.

Finance ministers from the world's leading economies have warned of a "shock" to the global economy if the UK leaves the EU. The ministers gave their opinion in a statement released at the end of a two-day meeting of G20 nations in China. Chancellor George Osborne, who is at the event, told the BBC the referendum issue was "deadly serious". But former Chancellor Lord Lawson said the G20's warning was "absurd" because 15 of its members were outside the EU. Asked if he or his officials had asked for the warning to be included in the statement, Mr Osborne said: "We've got countries around the table like the United States of America, like the IMF, like the Chinese who frankly don't do what anyone tells them to do." However, Lord Lawson told the BBC: "The British people will not take kindly to being told by the G20 what they should do. And the notion that the UK leaving the EU would cause an economic shock is absurd. "Fifteen of the members of the G20 are outside the EU, and that hasn't caused an economic shock. Indeed, most of them are doing better than most of the members of the European Union." The UK's EU referendum: All you need to know EU vote: Where the cabinet and other MPs stand EU reform deal: What Cameron wanted and what he got UKIP leader Nigel Farage said the G20 announcement was "no surprise" as it was "mates helping each other out". "I'm not surprised that big government gets together to support David Cameron," he added. "This is big banks, big business, big government all scratching each other's backs. I don't think that impresses voters." Officials travelling with Mr Osborne say the mention of the UK's referendum in the G20 meeting's final communique is unusual. Mr Osborne has denied he pushed for it. The chancellor told the BBC: "The financial leaders of the world's biggest countries have given their unanimous verdict and they say that a British exit from the EU would be a shock to the world economy. "And if it's a shock to the world economy imagine what it would do to Britain." He added: "This isn't some adventurous journey into the unknown, with all the humour attached to it, this is deadly serious." With the gleaming early spring sunshine behind him, as he stood on the bank of Shanghai's Huangpu river, the chancellor said he was "deadly serious". He's not the only one. It seems the other 19 leaders at the G20 agree about the "shock", as they've called it, if the UK walked out of the EU. It's not a big surprise. The president of hosts China made it clear last year during his Chequers stay that he wants Britain In. But then again China doesn't really do intervention in domestic politics. George Osborne will be pleased to have this significant and very public diplomatic backing as he sits on the plane back home tonight. There's a whiff of the Scottish referendum campaign about it though, when various foreign leaders lined up behind the government position. A senior official from the Treasury told the BBC the chancellor's US counterpart had raised the issue during the meeting, as did others, including senior Chinese officials and Ms Lagarde. US Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew later urged UK voters to "consider the impact" of voting to leave, and said the White House believed it was in the UK's "national security interests" to remain in the union. Elsewhere, Prime Minister David Cameron was in Northern Ireland as part of his UK tour to persuade voters that membership of a reformed EU is in their best interests. CBI director general Carolyn Fairbairn described the potential consequences of the UK leaving the EU as an "evident risk". 'Out is out' "Those who wish to leave must put forward a clear economic case, explaining how being outside the EU will enhance jobs, growth and prosperity in the UK and across Europe. "The majority - but not all - of CBI members want the UK to remain in a reformed EU," she added. Meanwhile, London Mayor Boris Johnson has clarified his position over the idea that a vote to leave the EU could force Brussels to give Britain a better deal over its membership and trigger a second referendum. Mr Johnson had previously suggested that only by voting to leave would the UK "get the change we need". But in The Times, Mr Johnson stated categorically: "Out is out". The UK will vote on whether to leave or remain in the EU on 23 June. Mr Cameron set the date last weekend after agreeing a deal with fellow EU leaders about a renegotiation of the UK's EU membership.

Parental anxiety, depression may cause fussy eating in kids Children whose parents suffer from anxiety and/or depression during pregnancy or early in the child’s life are most likely to become fussy eaters, finds new research. The analysis was based on 4,746 mother and child pairs and 4,144 dads, whose children had all been born between 2002 and 2006. Parents were asked to complete a validated questionnaire during mid pregnancy, and then again three years later, to assess their own symptoms of anxiety and depression. The results showed that by the age of three, around 30 per cent of the children were classified as fussy eaters. For mothers, the anxiety was evident both during pregnancy and during preschool days of the child, whereas for fathers the depression was felt only during the pre-school period. Further, clinically high maternal anxiety scores were more associated with fussy eating. As for depression, the mothers’ prenatal symptoms predicted a four-year-old’s fussy eating behaviour — irrespective of whether she had the symptoms when the child was three. The results were similar for the fathers. The study “strongly suggests that the direction of the associations with mothers’ antenatal symptoms is from mother to child,” said the team from Erasmus MC-University Medical Centre in Rotterdam, Netherlands. “Clinicians should be aware that not only severe anxiety and depression, but also milder forms of internalising problems can affect child eating behaviour,” they added. Fussy eating behaviour — which is characterised by the consistent rejection of particular foods — is common in childhood, and a frequent source of concern for parents, the researchers explained in the study published online in the Archives of Disease in Childhood. Previously, it has been associated with constipation, weight problems and behavioural issues in the child.

New Jersey governor and former Republican candidate Chris Christie is endorsing frontrunner Donald Trump for president, he has announced. Mr Christie dropped out of the 2016 presidential race after a lacklustre showing in polls and state races. "I'm happy to be on the Trump team and I look forward to working with him," said Mr Christie during a press conference. Mr Trump gives Republicans the best chance to win the White House, he adds. He said junior senators Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, both running for president, were "unprepared" for the job. There is "no question" that Mr Trump will turn around Washington, Mr Christie continued, and keep Democratic candidate and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton from winning the White House. If Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio generated any momentum from their ferocious attacks on Donald Trump during Thursday night's Republican debate, that's all gone now. Mr Christie's endorsement allows Mr Trump to boast that he's drawing bona fide support from mainstream Republican officeholders - and not just a ragtag collection of politicians on the fringes of the party. The New Jersey governor will help assure voters wary of Mr Trump's brash style that he's an acceptable candidate. He can also serve as an attack dog, tearing into Mr Rubio the way he did during that fateful debate in New Hampshire. The Christie endorsement could signal a new phase of Mr Trump's presidential campaign, when prominent politicians begin to make peace with the reality of a Trump nomination. Mr Christie, and others, may see a benefit to being among the first major figures on board the Trump bandwagon. Already rumours are floating that former candidate Mike Huckabee is on the verge of joining Mr Trump's ranks as well. This is what happens when a frontrunner draws close to victory. And just because the man approaching the finish line is Donald Trump doesn't make it any less true. Frontrunner Donald Trump, a businessman from New York, is leading in many state polls and has already won three consecutive state contests in New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina, despite never having worked in politics. He shouldered some criticism from Mr Rubio and Mr Cruz at a Republican debate on Thursday but it is not yet clear whether this has hurt his po[CENSORED]rity. "He is rewriting the playbook of American politics because he's providing strong leadership that is not dependent upon the status quo," Mr Christie said of Mr Trump. "I will lend my support between now and November in every way that I can for Donald, to help to make this campaign an even better campaign than it's already been." Mr Rubio, the Florida Senator, continued to assail Mr Trump the morning after the debate. He told CBS: "A con artist is about to take over the Republican Party and the conservative movement, and we have to put a stop to it." And at a morning rally in Dallas, he mocked the Republican front-runner about his misspelled tweets and said he had seen Mr Trump having a "meltdown" backstage at the debate.

For young women seeking longevity and youth, a little patience may help you live longer, a new study suggests. Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have found that young impatient Chinese women exhibit signs of more rapid ageing at the cellular level. They found that the cells of impatient young women are ageing faster than their more patient peers, as characterised by shorter leukocyte telomeres. This novel study is the first to link a fundamental determinant of decision-making such as impatience to a molecular marker for cellular ageing in humans. Researchers worked with a sample of 1,158 healthy Chinese undergraduates. To determine the participants’ extent of impatience, researchers employed a behavioural economic game known as ‘delay discounting’. They asked participants to decide between receiving $100 the next day, or larger rewards later. Participants who opted for earlier gratification were deemed as more impatient. Researchers measured the length of the participants’ leukocyte telomeres – the caps at the end of each DNA strand which protect the chromosome. Telomeres decrease in length each time a cell divides and ages, and once they reach a critical short length, the cell will no longer divide. Researchers discovered that females who were identified as impatient had shorter telomere length. Existing research suggests that telomere length could be an initial predictor of disease and earlier mortality. Older cells, and older people, generally have shorter telomeres, researchers said. No similar significant correlations were observed in the male participants. The findings were robust after controlling for health-related variables, risk appetite (or inclination for risk) and lifestyle behaviours. “Patience is indeed a virtue and women with impatient personality types are likely growing older at a faster pace than women disposed to be more patient,” said Richard Ebstein from NUS. The study is the first to link a fundamental determinant of decision-making such as impatience to a molecular marker for cellular ageing in humans. The findings were published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Younis A sat with his head bent so close to the table that his lawyer had to tell him to raise his chin and look at the court. He said little but, through his translator, this dark haired young man did offer a brief glimpse of an underworld which Germany is only just beginning to confront. Younis is a 23-year-old Moroccan. There is no way to verify that because he says he has no papers or passport. And no way to substantiate his claims that he has a degree and some training in mechanics. He entered the country illegally about a year ago and recently applied for asylum. He now lives in a refugee home where he says drugs are passed around - he was found with amphetamine on New Years Eve - and where he has acquaintances rather than friends. The police have picked him up before for travelling without a rail ticket and say they have also caught him before in possession of stolen goods. He is living in limbo, in a shadow world of petty crime. It will be months, probably years, before his asylum claim is even examined. The German authorities admit to a backlog of some 700,000 asylum applications Younis admits he snatched a phone from a young woman in the crowd on New Year's Eve in Cologne. He stood briefly in the courtroom to mumble an apology in her direction. On Wednesday he became the first person to be convicted in connection with the New Year's Eve attacks. Another Moroccan and a Tunisian were also found guilty of theft. Police have identified more than 70 other suspects. Most, they say, are like Younis: from North Africa and here either illegally or because they are seeking or have been granted asylum. And, like Younis, most are suspected of theft. Detectives have only arrested one man on suspicion of sexual assault. Yet nearly 600 women say they were groped, even raped, that night. Cologne's police chief told me it was possible that many of the perpetrators will never be caught. He wearily cites lack of evidence. Officers, including so called "super recognisers" from Scotland Yard, are largely reliant on CCTV and mobile phone footage from the night. But they have found that while the cameras can pick up a bag being snatched, they do not often capture sexual assaults in a crowd. It is not what Germany wants to hear. The attacks have affected this country profoundly, shaken its sense of security. A different Germany Younis A's case took place amid intense media scrutiny. And perhaps it was unsurprising that his lawyer felt it necessary to deliver a passionate speech accusing the court of turning his client into a scapegoat. "People are now buying pepper spray, vigilantes run through the city and beat up foreigners. But do not hold my client responsible for that." But, arguably, simply by committing his crime in the crowds on New Year's Eve, while all around him women were being molested, Younis A was part of a phenomenon that has altered this country. The young woman whose phone was stolen and her friends say they were sexually assaulted too, although they cannot identify the perpetrator. The government - previously so welcoming - has hardened its rhetoric on asylum. Ministers are trying to toughen deportation laws and want to make it all but impossible for people from Tunisia, Morocco and Algeria to claim asylum. And public perception has shifted. It does not help that Angela Merkel has failed to negotiate a meaningful European response to the refugee crisis. And that, in January, well over 90,000 people arrived in Germany seeking asylum. A recent poll found that more than 80% of Germans no longer feel the German government is in control. It was an Afghan refugee who brought Younis A to justice. He saw the theft, helped the woman get her phone back and then testified in court. Afterwards Mr A's lawyer thanked him. "There is a debate about foreigners going on in this country. I think it is really good that you, as an Afghan, supported the victim. I thank you for trying to protect her from my client."

Levante SUV already in production, but U.S. deliveries will have to wait a few months Maserati released the first official images of the long-promised Levante SUV, the marque's first foray into a segment long ignored by premium Italian brands (we're going to put the Lamborghini LM002 into the military vehicle category). The general outlines of the Levante have been known for some time (it wasn't going to take the Cadillac Escalade head on), though in details it still differs heavily from the Kubang concept that the automaker presented at the 2011 Frankfurt motor show. There are relatively few design surprises here -- the Levante was expected to mimic the proportions of the Porsche Cayenne while adopting details from the Ghibli. The Levante features the now-familiar corporate fascia, stretched vertically, in addition to a taller grille housing the family Trident. The Levante's shoulder line ends with nicely sculpted haunches over the rear wheels (that remind us of the same surface feature on the Bentley Bentayga), while the rear fascia wears the now-familiar taillight design featured on other Maserati models. The D-pillar is thick and rakish, perhaps limiting cargo space, while the rear window is topped by the now-stylish spoiler cap. Expect Maserati's SUV to be powered by 3.0-liter V6 engines in two states of tune producing 350 hp and 430 hp, while Europe will also receive a diesel version. These aren't official specs; we'll have to wait for the Geneva motor show to get rolling before Maserati drops complete details. Maserati has said the Levante will have an eight-speed automatic transmission and an electronically controlled suspension with adjustable damping and air springs. The eight-speed transmission will send power to all four wheels via the brand's Q4 all-wheel-drive system, tuned in the Levante more for grip than off-roadability. The Levante will go on sale in Europe this spring, and will make its way to the States later this year. Maserati should announce general pricing at Geneva, but don't expect U.S. MSRP and options until later.

8 Ways to Keep Your Mouth Healthy Brushing, flossing, and rinsing are the ABCs of oral health, but they're only the beginning. A marvelous mouth takes more than squeezing paste out of a tube -- think improving your toothbrushing technique, ditching the daily soda habit, and saying good-bye to cigarettes. David Leader, DMD, an assistant clinical professor at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston, outlines eight oral care musts for a healthy mouth. Pay a visit. If you're prone to ditching the dentist, you're among the roughly 50% of adults in the United States who don't see a dentist yearly because of dental phobia, finances, or just plain neglect. But spend some quality time with your dentist (twice a year, the American Dental Association advises), and you'll catch problems such as decay, gum disease, trauma, or cancer at an early stage when they're treatable, not to mention more affordable to take care of. Count the years. Toddlers and older adults tend to fly under the dental health radar, but they need mouth maintenance just like the rest of us. Children should see a dentist by the time they're 1, and until they are coordinated enough to tie their own shoes they'll need help cleaning their teeth. Older folks have their own oral issues. Arthritis can make brushing and flossing challenging, and as people age, the amount of saliva they produce decreases, which means more tooth decay and also discomfort for those who wear dentures. Can the soda. Fizzy is fun but also part of the reason soda is so bad for your teeth. Two ingredients -- phosphoric acid and citric acid -- give soda its "bite" but also eat away at the surface of your teeth. Although the occasional soda won't hurt, a can or more a day makes your tooth enamel softer and more susceptible to cavities. Switch to water instead, adding flavor with sliced citrus or crushed berries or mint leaves. Don't sugarcoat it. Sugar is a major culprit in tooth decay. It fuels bacteria and acidity in your mouth, causing plaque to form and eat away at your enamel and gums. Your pearly whites are hit with up to 20 minutes of acid production for every sugar fest you indulge in, from sweetened coffee in the morning to ice cream at night. To avoid being among the 20% of people in the United States who face tooth decay every time they look in the mirror, try to cut down on sugary treats, and aim to brush and floss after every meal or snack. Pack it in. You've heard it before: Quit smoking. But this time, it's your dentist talking. The nicotine and tar in cigarettes not only turn your teeth an unsightly shade of yellow, they eat away at your gums. Smoking creates a ripe environment for bacteria and plaque on your teeth and along the gum line. That harms tissue, degrades the bone that supports teeth, and, eventually, increases your risk of tooth loss. Even worse, tobacco chemicals can lead to oral cancer. Use the right toothbrush. You want a brush with soft bristles. With the right technique, it should last two to three months. It's ready to be replaced when you notice bent bristles, but don't wait that long. Even a straight bristle tip can become blunted instead of rounded and cause injury to the teeth and gums. Practice proper technique. Although you probably know you should brush your teeth at least twice a day, if you're like most people, you don't give much thought to how to do it. Hold the toothbrush at a 45-degree angle, pointed toward the gum line, and use gentle, short, circular motions. Brush each tooth 10 to 15 times, but don't overdo it. Overly aggressive brushing can damage teeth and erode your gum line. Finesse flossing. It's simple: Flossing fosters healthier teeth and gums. But like brushing, there's a right and wrong way because flaws in your flossing can cause friction and damage the gum line. Wrap about a foot of floss around your index fingers, keeping about two inches between your fingers to work with. Unroll a fresh section of floss for each tooth, and keep the floss tight against the tooth to break up plaque while leaving your gums in good shape.

Losing my religion for equality…by Jimmy Carter Women and girls have been discriminated against for too long in a twisted interpretation of the word of God. I HAVE been a practicing Christian all my life and a deacon and Bible teacher for many years. My faith is a source of strength and comfort to me, as religious beliefs are to hundreds of millions of people around the world. So my decision to sever my ties with the Southern Baptist Convention, after six decades, was painful and difficult. It was, however, an unavoidable decision when the convention’s leaders, quoting a few carefully selected Bible verses and claiming that Eve was created second to Adam and was responsible for original sin, ordained that women must be “subservient” to their husbands and prohibited from serving as deacons, pastors or chaplains in the military service. This view that women are somehow inferior to men is not restricted to one religion or belief. Women are prevented from playing a full and equal role in many faiths. Nor, tragically, does its influence stop at the walls of the church, mosque, synagogue or temple. This discrimination, unjustifiably attributed to a Higher Authority, has provided a reason or excuse for the deprivation of women’s equal rights across the world for centuries. At its most repugnant, the belief that women must be subjugated to the wishes of men excuses slavery, violence, forced prostitution, genital mutilation and national laws that omit rape as a crime. But it also costs many millions of girls and women control over their own bodies and lives, and continues to deny them fair access to education, health, employment and influence within their own communities. The impact of these religious beliefs touches every aspect of our lives. They help explain why in many countries boys are educated before girls; why girls are told when and whom they must marry; and why many face enormous and unacceptable risks in pregnancy and childbirth because their basic health needs are not met. In some Islamic nations, women are restricted in their movements, punished for permitting the exposure of an arm or ankle, deprived of education, prohibited from driving a car or competing with men for a job. If a woman is raped, she is often most severely punished as the guilty party in the crime. The same discriminatory thinking lies behind the continuing gender gap in pay and why there are still so few women in office in the West. The root of this prejudice lies deep in our histories, but its impact is felt every day. It is not women and girls alone who suffer. It damages all of us. The evidence shows that investing in women and girls delivers major benefits for society. An educated woman has healthier children. She is more likely to send them to school. She earns more and invests what she earns in her family. It is simply self-defeating for any community to discriminate against half its po[CENSORED]tion. We need to challenge these self-serving and outdated attitudes and practices - as we are seeing in Iran where women are at the forefront of the battle for democracy and freedom. I understand, however, why many political leaders can be reluctant about stepping into this minefield. Religion, and tradition, are powerful and sensitive areas to challenge. But my fellow Elders and I, who come from many faiths and backgrounds, no longer need to worry about winning votes or avoiding controversy - and we are deeply committed to challenging injustice wherever we see it. The Elders are an independent group of eminent global leaders, brought together by former South African president Nelson Mandela, who offer their influence and experience to support peace building, help address major causes of human suffering and promote the shared interests of humanity. We have decided to draw particular attention to the responsibility of religious and traditional leaders in ensuring equality and human rights and have recently published a statement that declares: “The justification of discrimination against women and girls on grounds of religion or tradition, as if it were prescribed by a Higher Authority, is unacceptable.” We are calling on all leaders to challenge and change the harmful teachings and practices, no matter how ingrained, which justify discrimination against women. We ask, in particular, that leaders of all religions have the courage to acknowledge and emphasise the positive messages of dignity and equality that all the world’s major faiths share. The carefully selected verses found in the Holy Scriptures to justify the superiority of men owe more to time and place - and the determination of male leaders to hold onto their influence - than eternal truths. Similar biblical excerpts could be found to support the approval of slavery and the timid acquiescence to oppressive rulers. I am also familiar with vivid descriptions in the same Scriptures in which women are revered as pre-eminent leaders. During the years of the early Christian church women served as deacons, priests, bishops, apostles, teachers and prophets. It wasn’t until the fourth century that dominant Christian leaders, all men, twisted and distorted Holy Scriptures to perpetuate their ascendant positions within the religious hierarchy. The truth is that male religious leaders have had - and still have - an option to interpret holy teachings either to exalt or subjugate women. They have, for their own selfish ends, overwhelmingly chosen the latter. Their continuing choice provides the foundation or justification for much of the pervasive persecution and abuse of women throughout the world. This is in clear violation not just of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights but also the teachings of Jesus Christ, the Apostle Paul, Moses and the prophets, Muhammad, and founders of other great religions - all of whom have called for proper and equitable treatment of all the children of God. It is time we had the courage to challenge these views.

My Name is Abdelmalek I'am with Gaza

Although we’ve already had a good first peek at the biggest mid-cycle change for the 2016 Infiniti Q50—three new turbocharged engine options—the company used the 2016 Chicago auto show to sprinkle a little more information on our plates. The centerpiece of the updated Q50 is the all-new VR30 3.0-liter V-6 with twin turbochargers and direct fuel injection, which produces 300 horsepower in the Q50 3.0t and a full 400 in the range-topping Q50 Red Sport 400. Infiniti says maximum boost will be as high as 14.5 psi in the 400, with peak power for both engines occurring at 6400 rpm. The engine’s hearty torque outputs—295 lb-ft in the 3.0t and 350 for the Red Sport—are on tap from 1600 to 5200 rpm. Aside from different engine mounts and tuning setups, greater flow capacity for the 400’s intercoolers, and an optical speed sensor for the more powerful version’s turbochargers, both mills are virtually the same internally. Infiniti says it still has more technical specifics to share closer to the updated Q50’s launch this spring, but you can read a more detailed analysis of the new VR-series here. The other new engine for the Q50 is a longitudinal 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder developing 208 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, which unsurprisingly will be badged as the 2.0t. Also found in Infiniti’s new QX30 crossover, albeit mounted in a transverse configuration, this entry-level engine stems from the brand’s tie-up with Mercedes-Benz and can be found in the German brand’s GLA-class crossover, which also shares a basic architecture with the QX30. Also still available is the Q50 hybrid, which continues to pair the previous VQ-series 3.5-liter V-6 with an electric motor for a total of 360 ponies. All four of the 2016 Q50’s powerplants come mated to a standard seven-speed automatic transmission and are available with either front- or all-wheel drive. 2016 Infiniti Q60 Debuts With Two New Engines Nissan Reveals New Gasoline V-8 for Titan Pickup Infiniti Q50 Full Coverage: News, Photos, Specs, Reviews, and More We’ll get our first impressions of the 2016 Q50 soon when the 2.0t version hits the streets in late winter, followed by the hot-rod Red Sport 400 later in spring. The volume 3.0t model likely won’t be available until midsummer, but by then we should already have a good idea of how well the changes have worked out for Infiniti’s core sports sedan.

The first generation of the S8 was offered from July 1996 to September 2002 in the German market. It had a 4.2-liter V8 engine with 250 kW (340 hp) - the 1999 265 kW rendered (360 hp) from June - and was available exclusively with permanent quattro all-wheel drive with Torsen center differential. When transmission is a five-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronicfunktion, dynamic shift program (DSP) and sport program or a 6-speed manual transmission was available as an option, which the Audi S8 uniquely made in the sporty luxury class saloon segment. At the time of launch it was the most powerful four-wheel sedan in the world. The special combination of aluminum body, permanent four-wheel drive and V8 engine he could even keep the spurt with the Porsche Carrera type 993rd Engines and Technical Data The engine is based on the V8 engine of the Audi A8 with 220 kW (300 hp). The S8 are at an engine speed 2900-6000 rpm 90% of maximum torque available, which is not only impressive acceleration values but also very good elasticity values result. The V8 engine with 250 kW of Audi S8 had sufficient power to the Porsche 993 Carrera 2 take a tenth in the acceleration sprint. The V8 version with 265 kW (360 hp) was faster even by two tenths of a second. The performance of his direct opponents, the Mercedes-Benz S 55 AMG with 265 kW (360 hp) which exceed the Audis with Tiptronic to a good second; a direct comparison between the S 55 AMG and the Audi S8 with manual transmission are both par.

We want to get one nation or more to implement our Peace Plan. We want knowledgeable people everywhere to consider and debate the implications of what we propose. Eventually, we want many to clamor for the adoption of our programs, or better ones if they are available. We want our song, "An Outstanding Me," and our philosophy, "The Essence of Humanity Credo," to be taught in every school in the world and utilized by all parents everywhere. Not only can our writings and songs be used to better educate children, but they can be circulated and promoted to everyone to produce better citizens to inhabit this planet. Of course, eventually we will have to have our prose, poems, and songs translated into every language. We want to get famous people to be associated with us and add credence to our efforts. Of course the added goodwill and publicity they in turn may receive could help their careers and reputation immensely. We want to add Gold Members - they are persons or organizations that donate $1,000 or more to our cause - to our list. We want World Peace Society to join the United Nations as a non-governmental organization (NGO). We want to have AllTogether-GetTogether events and parties so people interested in us can meet each other and have a good time. We want to make a concerted effort to bring people of different backgrounds, origins, lands, and cultures together so they can understand each other better. We want to produce and present a television show that will give us publicity and further advance our cause. We are already registered to produce shows on the local community TV station and have in mind a unique show that is based on our copyrights and could be utilized on other stations that have wider audiences. We want to combine our peace plan, poems, and songs into a book that we think may have wide appeal and bring wider recognition to our cause. We will consider the contributions from others to this book. We already have use of the domain name, "Push for Peace," and plan to have a Web site created around it that will advance the cause of World Peace Society. We are thinking of using contests and prizes as incentives to encourage people to participate. This site is very much in the development stage, and further ideas may be considered. The domain name, "Waste of War," is already ours, and we plan to create a Web site that will attract and exhibit creative arts projects that uniquely express this theme. We want people to feel that war is a terrible folly and an excessive waste of human energy and resources. We are also considering some form of incentive or prizes, but they will not be awarded to current World Peace projects. We own the domain name, "Way to Peace." This will be a site that displays our Petition for Peace, which is also shown in the Send a Poem section. We will endeavor to collect signatures throughout the world and send them to appropriate government representatives so that our leaders will be impressed that the people of the world really want peace. We intend to put on shows, concerts, and events that will make World Peace Society and its mission memorable to many. We want to cause people and nations to implement new ideas that will improve life on earth for all. For all who join us in our efforts to make a better world, we want to explore ways and means to in turn help promote their reputation and their projects.
