The Military Is Building Brain Chips to Treat PTSD

The Defense Department is developing a new, mood-predicting brain chip to treat PTSD in soldiers. By Patrick Tucker
How well can you predict your next mood swing? How well can anyone? It's an existential dilemma for many of us but for the military, the ability to treat anxiety, depression, memory loss and the symptoms associated with post-traumatic stress disorder has become one of the most important battles of the post-war period.
Now the Pentagon is developing a new, innovative brain chip to treat PTSD in soldiers and veterans that could bring sweeping new changes to the way depression and anxiety is treated for millions of Americans.
With $12 million (and the potential for $26 million more if benchmarks are met), the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, wants to reach deep into your brain's soft tissue to record, predict and possibly treat anxiety, depression and other maladies of mood and mind. Teams from the University of California at San Francisco, Lawrence Livermore National Lab and Medtronic will use the money to create a cybernetic implant with electrodes extending into the brain. The military hopes to have a prototype within 5 years and then plans to seek FDA approval.
DARPA's Systems-Based Neurotechnology for Emerging Therapies, or SUBNETs, program draws from almost a decade of research in treating disorders such as Parkinson's disease via a technique called deep brain stimulation. Low doses of electricity are sent deep into the brain in somewhat the same way that a defibrillator sends electricity to jumpstart a heart after cardiac arrest.

While it sounds high-tech, it's a crude example of what's possible with future brain-machine interaction and cybernetic implants in the decades ahead.
"DARPA is looking for ways to characterize which regions come into play for different conditions – measured from brain networks down to the single neuron level – and develop therapeutic devices that can record activity, deliver targeted stimulation, and most importantly, automatically adjust therapy as the brain itself changes," DARPA program manager Justin Sanchez said.
SUBNETs isn't the only military research initiative aimed at stimulating the brain with electricity. The Air Force has been studying the effects of low amounts of electricity on the brain by using a non-invasive interface (a cap that doesn't penetrate into the skull.) The objective is to deliver a caffeine-like boost to help soldiers stay alert through long stretches of piloting or screen interaction. The current DARPA project stands out as uniquely ambitious in what it promises to reveal about the brain, in addition to stimulating it.
While neuroscientists are getting much better at using, understanding and harnessing the big electrical signals that emerge from the brain's motor cortex, research that is rapidly contributing to much better prosthetic arms, they still don't have a clear understanding of the way brain regions work in mood disorders associated with PTSD. We do know that anxiety ailments involve a delicate interplay of memory (in the physical form of synaptic connections) and stimuli and manifest across multiple brain areas. Furthermore, these responses and interactions can change as the very malleable brain itself adapts in unpredictable ways.
"Little is understood of how the brain's neural circuitry relates to anxiety and other neuropsychiatric disorders. This project will seek to markedly improve that understanding by obtaining maps of the brain's electrical activity at higher resolution than has been previously possible. The ultimate impact on the treatment of major depression, anxiety disorders, and other conditions remains to be seen, but a more clear understanding of the basis of these disorders is badly needed," Edward Chang, a neuroscientist at the University of California at San Francisco told Defense One.
The device would record what happens when a subject transitions into a state of anxiousness or depression from a more normal frame of mind. Today, observing brain activity that fine requires a bulky brain-monitoring system like the moderately inconvenient but rather imprecise EEG cap to the much more robust magnetoencephalograph, MEG, which can take very detailed readings of magnetic brain activity millisecond by millisecond. But commonly available MEG readers are enormous, require several gallons of liquid nitrogen to stay cool and can cost around $4 million.
"There is really no comparison between the vast amount of data you can get from an invasive deep brain implant (i.e. you cut open the skull and put one of more wires deep inside) versus the smeared slow trickle of information you can get from an EEG cap outside the skull. Chronic fMRI gives much more data, but is practically impossible on any longer time scales (even hours) due to the cost of using the machine and the required immobility of the subject," University of Arizona neuroscientist Charles Higgins told Defense One.
If the DARPA program is successful, it will yield new brain-monitoring capabilities that are exponentially cheaper smaller, more useful and that collect data when the patient is most likely to actually encounter traumatic stimuli, not just when he or she is in a lab-making data collection much easier and the data more useful.
"With existing technology, we can't really record anxiety level inside the brain. We can potentially record adrenaline and cortisol levels in the bloodstream to measure anxiety. However, if a deep brain implant is to be used (as proposed in this project), it might be possible to monitor activity in the amygdala, and this would be a direct way of monitoring anxiety," said Higgins.
Using that data, the researchers hope to create models and maps to allow for a more precise understanding of the electrical patterns in the brain that signal anxiety, memory loss and depression. The data from devices, when they come online, will be made available to the public but will be rendered anonymous, so records of an individual test subject's brain activity could not be traced back to a specific person.
In short, researchers will soon know much more about what causes anxiety and mood swings and will be able to predict those transitions in specific patients at specific times. They could then treat depression or anxiety remotely via a device that pushes the brain to establish new circuits and areas outside of the traumatized regions. It may improve your mood in the future, even the thought of it is a bit distressing today.

Are you ready to travel to the safest countries in South America?
South America is a continent of mystery and legends, ancient civilizations, and awe-inspiring natural scenery. Stunning islands, mountains reaching into the heavens, colorful cultures and lively cities beg to be explored.
But for many people, South America is intimidating and synonymous with violent crime. The South American narcotics criminal rings and notorious drug lords dominate pop culture. And headlines of unrest and instability may have you thinking twice about planning a trip there anytime soon.
It's not all narcos and gangs, though. In fact, some of the safest countries in the world are in South America. Here you can marvel at the natural wonders and dive into traditions without constantly looking over your shoulder.
Keep reading for a guide to the six safest countries in South America. These are spots where you can travel safely, having unforgettable experiences and creating long-lasting memories along the way.
Safest countries in South America to visit:
Not a bad view from Casapueblo in Maldonado, Punta Ballena, Uruguay
1 – Uruguay
Uruguay may be an underrated destination, often looked over by people traveling or dreaming about traveling to South America. But this small nation is a top contender for the safest country in South America.
It has a Global Peace Index (GPI) rating of 35, which is incredibly good. It means the country is the 35th safest place in the world (for reference, the USA is 121). It's also famous for being the most laid back place on the continent. Beyond being a peaceful country with minimal violent crime and unrest, Uruguay's geography is such that there is no threat of natural disasters.
The most you need to worry about is pickpockets in the big cities, which can be avoided by keeping savvy and aware.
You can't miss the history and relaxing vibe of Montevideo!
Must-see places and attractions in Uruguay
If you're heading to Uruguay, make the most of this beautiful country with some, or all, of these things to do.
Montevideo: Don't miss out on the juicy steaks and buzzing markets in the country's capital city.
Colonia del Sacromonte: Meander the cobbled streets of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. The picturesque city makes for an excellent day trip from Montevideo.
Punta del Diablo: A haven for surfers and beach bums, the fishing village is the embodiment of Uruguay's chilled out nature.
Playa Chihuahua: Drop your shorts, if you dare, at the nudist beach.
Cerro Arequita: Hike the rolling hills of Minas through the enchanting Ombú forest.
Quebrada de Los Cuervos: Go on a hike in the hopes of spotting Uruguay's incredible bird and wildlife.
Hot Springs: After a long day of exploring, soak in one of the many natural hot springs. The most popular resorts to do so are Dayman, Arapey, and Salto Grande.
Chile's natural beauty awaits you!
2 – Chile
Chile is not only one of the safest South American countries, but it's also one of the safest countries in the world. Up until recently, it had a BETTER GPI rating than Uruguay which took a huge knock due to violent protests in 2019. The country still has an impressive rating of 45. And with phenomenal, diverse scenery it attracts adventurers and nature lovers from all over the world.
The biggest worry for travelers is getting lost while hiking the dramatic landscapes…and the occasional earthquake. The country is a hot spot for earthquakes and there's a big chance you'll feel a slight rumble on your travels. Earthquakes of very high magnitude are not very common though.
Grab a good hiking map, hold onto your things when the ground shakes a little, and try to pick your jaw up off the floor as you explore the wonders of Chile.
A safe and pretty nice view from Santiago, Chile!
Must-see places and attractions in Chile
There are so many memorable activities and spectacular sights in Chile. From the southern tip of Patagonia to the border of Peru in the North, the 2600 mile stretch is chock-full of excitement. Here are just a few of the best things to do and see in Chile.
Santiago: Soak up the sprawling city, visit museums, and feast on Chilean cuisine.
Valparaíso: A bohemian, rustic, and colorful town that meets the ocean. Witness one of the biggest firework displays in South America on New Year's Eve.
Torres del Paine National Park: The journey to this remote corner of the world is long but so worth it. You'll feel like you've reached the end of the earth. Explore the Patagonian park on foot, by boat, or on horseback.
Atacama Desert: A stark contrast to Patagonia, this is one of the driest places on earth. Its harshness is striking and beautiful.
Easter Island: Visit the famous archeological site and monolithic stone statues. Learn about the history of the Rapa Nui, the island's aboriginal people.
Marble Caves: Paddle through the mesmerizing marble caves. A true expression of art in nature. This unusual and stunning cave system is reached by boat on the biggest lake in Chile.
Argentina is safe, has stunning nature, great wine and tons of things to see!
3 – Argentina
The most visited country on the continent and one of the top three safest places to travel in South America, Argentina has so much to offer any type of traveler.
The Global Peace Index ranking is 74, which is considerably higher than Chile and Uruguay. But it's still a lot lower than the USA, and the country is generally very safe. The biggest concern is petty crime and Dengue Fever. And its popularity among hitchhiking travelers is a testament to the low-risk environment.
In recent years, Argentina has experienced an economic decline that perpetuated inequality and protests. Even so, it has not succumbed to the violent atrocities that plague other countries in South America.
Keep your wits about you in Buenos Aires and your mosquito repellent on hand in the northern regions and you should have a stress-free trip.
From bustling and colorful cities to the peaks of the Andes, Argentina has much to discover.
Puerto Madero in Bueno Aires is the pace to be!
Must-see places and attractions in Argentina
The second-largest country in South America is a playground for the curious, the nature lovers, and the culture enthusiasts. These are my top picks of things to do in Argentina.
Buenos Aires: Learn to dance the Tango in the high-energy capital city. Soak up the palpable atmosphere that makes this one of the liveliest cities in the world.
Córdoba: With the impressive Sierras Chicas mountains as its backdrop, visit this city to get your authentic culture fix.
Mendoza: Explore the lush vineyards and art deco architecture. You can ride a bicycle through some of the country's best wineries.
Los Glaciares National Park: Visit the breathtaking, ever-growing Perito Moreno Glacier. It's expanding around 6 feet every day which is a miracle in the age of climate change.
Fitz Roy: If you're going to climb one mountain in Argentina, this should be it. The striking scenery is otherworldly. The Patagonian landscape with glaciers and jagged peaks is gorgeous.
Iguazu Falls: Tick this off your list of the seven natural wonders of the world. The chain of hundreds of thundering waterfalls will leave you humbled by their power.
Velle de la Luna: Like something out of your favorite fantasy novel, the Moon Valley is a place dinosaurs once roamed. It boasts the most complete fossil record from the Triassic Period.
This is Paraguay!!
4 – Paraguay
Squashed between three countries, including two giants of the continent, Paraguay is one of the safest countries in Latin America. With a GPI ranking of 75, it is a peaceful country to visit yet doesn't garner the type of tourist attention that its neighbors do.
Because it doesn't draw the massive tourist crowds, the cities haven't become hotspots for petty crime and scams. Among the biggest safety concerns in Paraguay are hooliganism associated with soccer games, corrupt police, and traffic accidents.
For an off-the-beaten-track destination in South America, Paraguay is a fantastic choice. The capital city, Asunción, is steeped in history that's tangible in its crumbling, charming architecture. And for the outdoor lovers, there are stunning national parks and wetlands to explore.
Did you know Paraguay is one of the safest countries in South America?
Must-see places and attractions in Paraguay
Don't let Paraguay slip under your radar. You may just miss out on an exceptional South American experience that is undeniably unique. Here are my recommendations for the best things to do in the small South American country.
Asunción: Stroll through the capital city admiring 17th-century buildings, museums with ancient art, and tons of spots to try traditional food.
Encarnación: The pride of Paraguay and the country's prettiest city is one of the cheapest places to shop in the world.
Eco Reserva Mbatoví: This ecologically diverse park offers an excursion for the brave and those looking to spot the native rabbits and armadillos. Get your heart pumping for the 344-foot zip line, or swing across the four hanging bridges.
Estancia Aventura: This is South America as you imagine it. Here you can have a quintessential ranch experience complete with horse riding and fishing.
Saltos del Monday: Take a trip to the powerful waterfalls. You can choose to simply marvel through observation or challenge yourself to abseil down the rock walls.
Ybycuí National Park: There's no better spot to enjoy the endemic wildlife. Spend time splashing in natural pools and looking out for capuchin monkeys and coati.
Bucket list adventure!
5 – Peru
If you're drawn to the secrets and mysticism buried in Peru's archaeological wonders, you'll be happy to know it's one of the safest places to visit in South America. It ranks 84th on the Global Peace Index. If you don't know much about this country, find out what Peru is famous for in this guide.
The cities of Peru sit in the heavens, high above sea level. This comes with the risk of altitude sickness for travelers not used to such extreme conditions. The wildness of Peru is what makes it such an attractive destination. But the creatures of the Amazon and the remoteness of some destinations pose a risk to travelers.
Avoid areas on the border of Colombia and Peru where narco-trafficking takes place. And keep your personal belongings close to you in Lima. If you take these precautions you can keep yourself safe while uncovering the magic of Peru.
Look at Lima!
Must-see places and attractions in Peru
Peru is an archeological wonderland and most people have Machu Picchu high on their travel bucket lists. But there is plenty more to experience in the stunning country.
Lima: Discover the tastes of Peru as you eat your way through the capital city.
Cusco: Translating to 'belly button', you can learn more about the Inca people in the city they considered to be the center of the World. You won't run out of things to do in Cusco.
Machu Picchu: The mystical main attraction in Peru, hike the Inca Trail for a fully immersive experience.
Rainbow Mountain: Take a day trip from Cusco to the ethereal mountain swirling with multi-colored spirals.
Colca Canyon: Twice as deep as the Grand Canyon, hiking here will reward you with mind-blowing views and sightings of the biggest bird on earth; the condor.
Titicaca Lake: Visit the highest navigable lake on Earth. Here you can stay in a homestay and get a feel for authentic Peruvian life. Choose to go by train over the Andean altiplano for a stunning journey.
Manu National Park: For a truly wild adventure, take a tour into the Amazon Rainforest. Here you can catch a glimpse of the plethora of colorful birds and wildlife that call the jungle home.
Nature and History makes Ecuador a must-see in South America.
6 – Ecuador
It may be small but it sure is mighty. Ecuador is one of the most biodiverse environments in the world and is considered one of the safest countries to visit in South America, holding position 90 on the GPI. It is here that you can venture onto the Galapagos Islands to search for rare wildlife or climb the dramatic peaks of the Andes.
Due to its location along the 'ring of fire', Ecuador is at risk of numerous natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and earthquakes. It's important to arm yourself with the knowledge of safety procedures in the event of a natural disaster.
The tap water throughout the entire country is not drinkable and food poisoning is common in Ecuador. But with good judgment and by taking a couple of precautions this can be avoided.
As for crime, it is generally non-violent and petty crime in cities such as Quito and Guayaquil. The northern areas of Carchi and Sucumbios, which border Colombia, have high rates of organized crime and it's best to avoid these places altogether.
In 2019 the country experienced nationwide protests which turned violent in some areas. Always avoid protests of any kind in a foreign country.
Quito is packed with history!
Must-see places and attractions in Ecuador
There are so many opportunities to trek the spectacular landscapes, revel in wildlife, and get your heart pumping in Ecuador. These activities are just the tip of the volcano, so to speak.
Quito: The second highest capital city in the world, the history is tangible in the capital of Ecuador. The entire city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and there are plenty of things to do.
Cotopaxi: Hiking this active volcano will leave you speechless with wonder. It's indescribably beautiful and home to Ecuador's unusual wildlife such as wild horses and llamas.
Galapagos Islands: These prehistoric areas are among the safest places in Latin America and offer a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. Here you can snorkel with Hammerhead Sharks or hike an active volcano, among other adventurous activities.
Devil's Nose Train Journey: You'll have expansive views from the train of the Andes mountains, rivers, gorges, and waterfalls.
Ingapirca Ruins: Dive into the Inca history in Ecuador where llamas roam among the ruins. After a visit to the ruins, stop by Cañar village where the age-old traditions are still alive.
Mindo Cloud Forest: For keen birders, this is an opportunity that you cannot miss. It's one of the best birding destinations in the world with the most bird species ever counted.
Baños: Adventure seekers and adrenaline junkies will love the adventure capital of Ecuador. With a backdrop of a smoking volcano, you can do tons of thrilling activities and the Swing at the End of the World.
Which of these safest South American countries will you visit?
Are you surprised by the Global Peace Index rating of many of these countries? All of the safest countries in South America rank better than the United States! Of course, when visiting a new country there are always precautions you should take. Keep an eye on your belongings, remaining aware of potential pickpockets and dangerous situations.
It's important to keep in mind that the social stability of these countries is always changing. Stay ahead of the game by referencing the advice of your home country and keeping up with the news. And be sure to book some travel insurance to be extra safe.
Now that you know you'll be safe traveling these places, you just need to choose the best country in South America according to your daydreams and bucket list. Will you choose to dance the night away in Buenos Aires or seek a tranquil retreat in the ranches of Paraguay?

Peru Recalls Ambassador From Ecuador in Row Over Border Wall
FILE - Ecuadorean workers build a wall along the border between Peru and Ecuador in Aguas Verdes, Peru, June 8, 2017.
LIMA —
Peru has recalled its ambassador to Ecuador after Quito refused to stop building a wall along a canal separating the two, Peru's Foreign Affairs Ministry said on Monday as both countries expressed concern over flood risks.
Peru said construction of the concrete wall, part of an urban revival project, violates a peace treaty signed by both countries because it comes too close to a canal in populated areas along the Zarumilla River, which forms part of the border for the two countries.
Ecuador said it lamented Peru's decision to recall its ambassador and said Peru had not responded to its request last week to discuss the dispute in a high-level meeting.
"Ecuador believes that dialogue is the valid mechanism to overcome any divergence between sister countries, and therefore reiterates its willingness and openness to address these issues immediately," the country's Foreign Affairs Ministry said in a statement.
The dispute marks a rough start to bilateral relations between Ecuador and Peru under centrist Peruvian President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski and Ecuador's socialist President Lenin Moreno, both of whom took office in the past year.
The dispute underscores both countries' sensitivity to the kind of heavy flooding in the border region that could become more extreme with climate change.
Ecuador has said the wall would help control flooding that affects border towns every year but Peru said it could disrupt the flow of water in the canal and raise flood risks for Peruvians.
A group of people, stranded in flood waters, hold onto a rope as they walk to safety in Lima, Peru, March 17, 2017. Intense rains and mudslides recently have wrought havoc around the Andean nation and caught residents in Lima, a desert city of 10 million
Peru had extreme flooding earlier this year after a sudden warming of Pacific waters off its coast triggered some of the nation's heaviest rains in decades.
More than 150 people died and reconstruction efforts could cost up to $9 billion, according to the government. Peru also has said the wall would hurt efforts to remove bureaucratic barriers at the border.
In the 1990s, territorial disputes led to a three-year war between the two countries, which share a 1,529-kilometer-long (950 miles) border. Cross-border trade remains fluid, but passage of contraband is common.

Q: Moving recursively in arrays Does anybody know how to move "on the ones" and change them to 2? I think we need recursion, but I'm not very good at it, so I'm asking you for help.
You can only move up, down, left or right.
Here is an example:
int[][] a = {{ 0, 0, 0},
             {1, 1, 0},
             {1, 1, 1},
             {1, 0, 1} };

recursiveFunction(a, 1, 1); // (<array you're checking>, <x of the group>, <y of the group>

/* int a now contains:
 * { 0, 0, 0,
 *   2, 2, 0,
 *   2, 2, 2,
 *   2, 0, 2 } */

int[][] b = {{0, 0, 0, 0, 1},
             {1, 1, 0, 0, 1},
             {1, 1, 1, 0, 1},
             {1, 0, 1, 0, 1} };

recursiveFunction(b, 0, 5);
/* int b now contains:
 * { 0, 0, 0, 0, 2
 *   1, 1, 0, 0, 2
 *   1, 1, 1, 0, 2
 *   1, 0, 1, 0, 2 } */

A: You dont need recursion for this .It is pretty straightforward.Also notice the way I have created a 2d array
char[][] a = { {0, 0, 0},
           {1, 1, 0},
           {1, 1, 1},
           {1, 0, 1 }};

for(int i = 0; i < a.length; i++)
  for(int j = 0; j < a[i].length; j++) {

     if(a[i][j] == 1)
        a[i][j] = 2;
   }

  }

Would this work ?

A: You have defined just 1D array and its number so you should use int.
Instead of doing it recursively, try solving it easily with two for loops (1 for row and 1 for column) for 2D array as below:
int array[][] = {{0, 0, 0},
                 {1, 1, 0},
                 {1, 1, 1},
                 {1, 0, 1}};
for (int i = 0; i< array.length; i++) {
    for (int j = 0; j< array[0].length; j++) {
         if (array[i][j] == 1) {
             array[i][j] = 2;
         }
    }
}

A: You can create a function and pass it the value that you want to replace. It will be better then recursion because you can avoid extra cost of stack that will be required during each recursive call
public static void replace(char[][] arr, char target, char replacment) {
    for (int i = 0; i< arr.length; i++) {
        for (int j = 0; j< arr[i].length; j++) {
            if (arr[i][j] == target) {
                arr[i][j] = replacment;
            }
        }
    }
}

Then you can call it like this
replace(arr, (char)1, (char)2);

A: Why do you think you need recursion? You could just iterate over the array and multiply every element by two (since 0 * 2 is 0 anyway, and it's faster than having to check the element):
for (int i = 0; i < a.length; ++i) {
    for (int j = 0; j < a[i].length; ++j) {
        a[i][j] *= 2;
    }
}

A: Ok, so if you want to change value of the connected component you start out in this should work.
public class Example {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int[][] b =
            {
                {0, 0, 0, 0, 1},
                {1, 1, 0, 0, 1},
                {1, 1, 1, 0, 1},
                {1, 0, 1, 0, 1}
            };

        rec(b, 0, 4);

        for (int[] row : b) {
            System.out.println(Arrays.toString(row));
        }
    }

    public static void rec(final int[][] grid, final int row, final int col) {
        if (grid[row][col] != 1) return;

        grid[row][col]++;

        if (row-1 >= 0) rec(grid, row-1, col);
        if (row+1 < grid.length) rec(grid, row+1, col);
        if (col-1 >= 0) rec(grid, row, col-1);
        if (col+1 < grid[0].length) rec(grid, row, col+1);
    }
}

Note that depending of how big your components are you might run out of stack. Either you'd then have to manage your own stack explicitly in the code or you would need to increase the stack space available to the JVM.

A: If you are using Java 8 the Arrays.parallelSetAll method could be used.
public static void replace(int[][] arr, int target, int replacement) {
    Arrays.parallelSetAll(arr, row -> {
        Arrays.parallelSetAll(arr[row], col -> arr[row][col] == target ? replacement : arr[row][col]);
        return arr[row];
    });
}

It uses the Java 8 Stream API:s and offers a quite nice compact programming model. Furthermore, it uses the ForkJoinPool so performance could be better since it may be multi-threaded (depending on the CPU etc).

Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL) recently launched the facelifted Ciaz with much anticipation and it has lived up to its hype thus far. The Indo-Japanese manufacturer has made several changes inside and out to the C-segment sedan to ensure positive response received among customers.
It can be booked for Rs. 11,000 across Nexa dealerships present in the country and is priced between Rs. 8.19 lakh for the entry-level Sigma petrol, and it goes up to Rs. 10.97 lakh (ex-showroom) for the top-spec Alpha petrol and diesel trims respectively.
The newly developed 1.5-litre, K15B, four-cylinder mill uses Suzuki's mild-hybrid technology and is the major highlight in the facelifted model. The power plant will also make its presence felt in the upcoming new generation Ertiga and gradually on other models as well including S-Cross and Vitara Brezza expectedly.
In the Ciaz, the more powerful unit is opted in place of the regular 1.4-litre petrol engine and develops 104.7 PS at 6,000 rpm and 138 Nm of peak torque at 4,400 rpm. It is mated to a five-speed manual as standard or a four-speed automatic transmission as option.
Maruti Suzuki continues its 1.3-litre DDiS 200 mill in the Ciaz though and it kicks out 90 PS at 4,000 rpm and 200 Nm at 1,750 rpm with claimed fuel efficiency of 28.09 kmpl. The company sells just four variants of the diesel Ciaz in India currently and is expected to get a brand new 1.5-litre diesel engine by the end of this year.
The leading automaker in the country has long been mooted to gain a bigger diesel powertrain and we appear to have spotted the test mule hiding the upcoming engine. In comparison, although being fuel efficient, the existing 1.3-litre unit is underpowered against Honda City's 1.5-litre i-DTEC engine producing 100 PS and 200 Nm of torque.
It is the same case with Hyundai Verna's 1.6-litre U2 CRDi engine making 123 PS and a massive 260 Nm. on the other hand, the Volkswagen Vento and Skoda Rapid pump out 110 PS and 250 Nm from the 1.5-litre TDI diesel engine. The upcoming oil-burner in the Ciaz will likely be more powerful than the outgoing version while having good level of mileage.

'Cow Town Image Has Gone': Shelby's Bar & Grill Prepares To Close
Filed Under:18th Street, Denver Development, Downtown Denver Partnership, Glenarm Place, Shelby's Bar and Grill
By Jamie Leary
DENVER (CBS4) – One of Denver's oldest buildings is slated for demolition to make way for condominiums. Once a mortuary, Shelby's Bar and Grill is more than a century old.
The Nelson family bought the restaurant in 1991 and has seen the city grow all around it.
"Now we are the last single story building in downtown Denver," said owner, Howard Nelson.
The property, situated along 18th Street and Glenarm Place, is surrounded by high rise buildings. Nelson knew the change was inevitable especially because he only owns the business, not the building.
"You got a stomach ache instantly, and then you just got to keep going. You got to forget it," Nelson said. "You just got to let it slide. It was out of our hands. There was nothing we could do."

Nelson isn't angry about the development to come. He is understanding.
"It's great I mean, the city has to grow. The cow town image has gone."
The Downtown Denver Partnership (DDP) says the demand for condominiums is high. Right now, there are about 25,000 people live in the downtown area alone; a number projected to more than double by 2040.
Randy Thelen, Vice President of Economic Development with DDP, says many of those currently living downtown are renters who want to invest. The demand for condos is only expected to grow.
He believes the latest plans will make a great addition to the city skyline.
The developer, Amacon, released its site plan just last week. While it's far away from approval by the city, it calls for two towers. One with 38 stories, the second with 32. There will be 477 units total ranging from studios to penthouses.
The plan also calls for more than 12,000 square feet of retail space.
Amacon's Vice President of Development and Construction, Steve Featherson released the following statement:
"This project offers a tremendous opportunity to add to the vibrancy of downtown Denver with a new mixed-use community. Amacon has extensive experience in designing and building high rise condominium towers across Canada and we are excited to collaborate with Denver-based Davis Partnership Architects for this project. Our proposed development will bring a 38 storey tower and a 32 storey tower to the neighborhood—including approximately 498,000 square feet of residential space, with 463 condominium units with a mix of shapes and sizes. In addition to these new homes, approximately 12,000 square feet of new retail space will be perfectly suited for cafes and shops, helping to re-energize this part of the city. More than 300 jobs will be created during construction, all hired through local suppliers. With four decades of experience in building urban communities, Amacon is excited to be working in Denver, and we look forward to adding new homes, jobs, and services to this great city."
There is no timeline for when Shelby's will close. Nelson was told at one point it would be open at least through the end of football season. He's hoping for another year.
"I'll probably spend a little time just by myself in here before we lock the door, kind of like Sam Malone did on Cheers when it ended."

LONDON, Feb 14 — Defender Jan Vertonghen scored once and set up another goal for Son Heung-min as Tottenham Hotspur thumped Borussia Dortmund 3-0 at Wembley Stadium yesterday to give them the clear edge following the first leg of their last 16 Champions League tie.
"In the first half we played a little — not nervously — but not with the confidence. The second half was very, very good.
Before yesterday, Tottenham had never won a home match in the knockout stage of the competition and Lucas Moura came close with a fine shot in the seventh minute.


The Pan Am Games are riding into town on the backs of commuter rage.
But we've been warned for months about the impending Games and potential traffic hell — so why brace for gridlock when you can avoid it altogether?
Some Toronto businesses and schools are tackling the traffic issue head on, with employers shuttering their doors during the Games, doling out vacation days, allowing staff to work remotely, encouraging carpooling or offering employees a flexible work schedule.
Fielding typically works from home a couple of days a week, but during the Games, she'll work remotely as many as four days a week.
She may even head out of town to Burlington, where her parents live. If she needs to come back to Toronto, she'll use Telus's smart commute program, which connects her with other Telus employees who are carpooling into the city, allowing them to take advantage of the temporary high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes.
The move to alter commuting routines city-wide comes following the province's $61-million summer games transportation plan, contingent on a 20-per-cent traffic reduction.
Transportation Minister Steven Del Duca has previously said he has "faith" Ontarians will swap cars for public transit, carpool, use the temporary HOV lanes and adjust work hours.
Across the city, employers are finding different ways to accommodate workers.
At York University, which is playing host to several Pan Am events, the school implemented a "summer break" during the height of the games, from July 21 to July 24. The university hopes the move cuts down on campus traffic and eases students' commute concerns, said a school representative.
Ryerson University is asking its employees to take vacation, work flex hours and to consider working from home, if possible, and the University of Toronto is also asking managers to let staff work flexible hours or telecommute.
Others are taking more drastic measures.
The Law Society of Upper Canada — located adjacent to Nathan Phillips Square, a location described as the epicentre of the Pan Am Games — will close its doors for the first day of the Games this Friday.
The move was designed to ease concerns about security — crowds wandering into the public building — and employees' ability to get to work, said law society communications advisor Susan Tonkin.
At least one downtown office plans to shut down for the entire two weeks of the Pan Am Games.
Teague said her clients include Pan Am employees who suggested her office close during the Games months ago.
But other employers are gearing up for an influx of business.
As for the city of Toronto, city divisions have been asked to prepare travel plans for their staff, including taking public transit, changing travel routes, adjusting start and finish times and holding virtual meetings, said city spokesperson Jackie DeSouza.
The measures are in line with the Ministry of Transportation's Pan Am Games travel plan, DeSouza said, which includes suggestions to businesses, such as avoiding rush hour travel, offering services outside peak travel times and holding meetings via video conferences.
But not everyone is preparing for the worst.
"As of right now, we are keeping hours the same," said Debra Goldblatt-Sadowski, president and founder of Rock-it Promotions, located at Richmond St. W. near Spadina Ave.
A total of 7,500 athletes, 23,000 volunteers, 4,000 members of the media and 1.4-million spectators are expected to be in town for the Pan Am Games, which start Friday and run until July 26. The Parapan Games run from Aug. 7 to 15.
If employees do have to work during the games, there's a 2015 Games Trip Planner service and online Triplinx tool to help them get from point A to point B efficiently.
The Trip Planner app and online tool was launched by the Ministry of Transportation and is similar to Google Maps. It calculates travel routes and travel times by car or by transit and includes real-time traffic updates. The app is available on iOS, Android and BlackBerry. Triplinx is an online tool from Metrolinx offering a similar service, providing commuters with route information across GO, TTC and other regional transit services.
Some YMCA staff are already using the app, said Monica Merrifield, vice-president of risk intelligence with the YMCA of Greater Toronto.
It's unclear how many visitors will actually attend, in light of slow ticket sales — recent reports indicate only around half of the 1.4 million available tickets have sold — and hotels reporting lower booking numbers than expected.

Ridesharing company expands app usage to 54 new U.S. cities including Muncie as part of 2017 plan.
MUNCIE, Ind. — Need a "Lyft" somewhere?
A popular ridesharing company has made its way into Muncie.
Lyft announced its expansion to Muncie and more than 50 other U.S. cities last week, just one month after launching rides in 40 other U.S. cities.
The transportation app's largest launch to date is part of a massive expansion to add 100 cities to its coverage area by the end of 2017, according to businessinsider.com.
"From the very beginning, Lyft has been very thoughtful about its growth, focusing first on larger, more populated markets," a spokesperson from Lyft said. "We work closely and collaboratively with local lawmakers before entering a market; we also ensure that we get to know the market, such as the specific and unique needs a market faces. Lyft is continuing to expand its footprint across the nation, and Muncie is a part of the growth."
The Feb. 23 announcement also included Terre Haute and Evansville.
According to Lyft, this expansion of the first peer-to-peer ridesharing community gives millions more people across the U.S. access to affordable transportation. It also provides registered drivers an extra source of income.
Muncie resident Kyle Reninger drives for Lyft, and said the company's drivers make their own schedule. This works well for Reninger, who is also the salon coordinator for Muncie's Redhead Salon Boutique, 1512 W. White River Blvd.
Having trouble finding an available ride? This could be due to driver availability due to part-time hours.
"Because Muncie is a small market, most drivers in the area are part-time drivers," Reninger said. "Which also means we mostly drive during 'prime time' — Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights."
Reninger said he saw four other Lyft drivers signed on to drive during the Friday night hours.
"It's kind of like the chicken and the egg thing," Reninger said. "More drivers will be available during the daytime hours when more riders request rides during the day, but riders will only check to request rides during the day if drivers are available. We hope to help the Muncie market for rideshare to grow exponentially."
For those not wanting to wait for their app to open to see if a ride is available, they can join the Facebook group "Muncie Uber & Lyft Connect."
"We use this to help passengers pre-arrange rides with drivers," Reninger said. "It's been great. People will post that they need a ride tomorrow for work, (for example), a driver replies that they can, and they meet at the pre-arranged place and time. Then the passenger requests the ride through the app and voila!"
The 2017 expansion is a big move for the San Francisco-based company, as top competitor Uber has been building its clientele in Muncie since 2014, as well as users in more than 500 cities worldwide.
Lyft brings more than a new transportation option to local communities, according to the company.
"By allowing people to rely on having a safe ride home, Lyft is leading to increased driving safety," Lyft's spokesperson said. "People in Muncie need more safe, convenient ways to get around their city and we're excited to be that option."
The spokesperson added the company found data proving 88 percent of passengers said they are more likely to avoid driving while impaired because of Lyft.

Jennifer Monson's newest work, Live Dancing Archive, explores the dancing body in conjunction with the moving image of video and other media as an archive of place, experience and systems. Working in collaboration with videographer/new media artist Robin Vachal, the project uses the conceptual framework of the archive to build two interrelated components: an evening length solo performance and a video/new media project that simultaneously investigate the nature of impermanence in relation to embodied identities and constructions of environment. The solo will be created from material selected, learned and set from the video documentation of 20 years of Monson's performance work as well as from improvisational strategies developed from the experience of dancing in the outdoors. Parallel to the solo will be the production of a new media archive of video and material ephemera of Monson's process.
This project draws on Monson's history of choreographic research exploring the relationship of place to self and the ideological constructions of environment and embodied identities. The solo returns to ideas developed in her work in the 90's when her involvement in queer activism was affecting her choreography, and connects to strategies developed in her recent work investigating phenomena such as animal migrations, geological formations, and watersheds.
Monson's solo will create an intricate experience of place, with the help of composer and performer Jeff Kolar, who uses field recordings to reshape the acoustic experience of interior spaces, and with lighting designer Joe Levasseur, who will develop a design that evokes delicate and sophisticated atmospheres and shifting spatial parameters. The audio material in LDA is generated through live and pre-recorded field recordings experiments in the AM/FM, shortwave, Citizens, and unlicensed spectrum (27 MHz or 49 MHz band). The work highlights the subtle changes, modulation, and interferences found in electromagnetic waves. The audio generated is directly linked to specific locations of transmission. This process creates an open a space for transmission accidents, circuit feedback, and physical interference.
Robin Vachal's video will be shown as an installation in conjunction with the performance and will have a web presence based on current archiving software. The goal is to propose new methods for archiving the fluidity of choreographic process and form through both live and virtual formats.
Live Dancing Archive premiered at the University of Vermont in September 27-29, 2012 at 8pm at the University of Vermont's Mann Hall.
This program is made possible by the New England Foundation for the Arts' National Dance Project, with lead funding from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and additional funding from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Also supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council. Support for dance programs at The Kitchen is provided by Mertz Gilmore Foundation, The Jerome Robbins Foundation, The Harkness Foundation for Dance, and with public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and the New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency. Additional support provided by a Creative Research Award and Research Board Grant from the University of Illinois of Urbana Champaign and the Marsh Professorship at Large program at the University of Vermont.
