Nissan has done well keeping its upgraded Z under wraps. We've only glimpsed a couple of test vehicles, but thanks to an enthusiast at NissanZClub , we have another look at what could be a new Nismo model. Specifically, we have Sean in Arizona to thank for this glimpse. He caught two prototypes on camera, getting a pretty good look from both the side and rear. Fortunately, the side views also capture a bit of the front, as we believe that's where a significant change from the standard Z will occur. We're talking about the split grille, which Nissan debuted on the Fairlady Z Customized Proto just over a year ago. More importantly, the automaker announced in early January that the split grille will enter production as a dealer-installed option for Japan-spec cars, later this year.

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 45 The last Prince's Hamburgers location in Houston has closed, a victim of Hurricane Harvey's massive flooding. The location at 3425 Ella Boulevard was the last location standing. A Houston institution for 84 years, Prince's is one of the most-beloved chains in the area. RELATED: Houston's oldest restaurants can still dish it out There is something to hopeful for, though, as owner John Broussard told Chron.com Friday afternoon that he is currently looking to reopen at a new location later this year. Prince's busy catering business is still very much in operation.

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 21 The owners of Houston nightclub Cle worked hard to get the world's best deejay talent to the razzle dazzle club that has redefined Houston nightlife. And now those same partners have employed considerable effort – and no small amount of showy sophistication – to bring a new, high level of dining to Houston with Bisou ("kiss" in French), opening for dinner tonight at River Oaks District, 4444 Westheimer. Armed with a knockout design and a chef who happens to be among the most elite classically trained chefs in the country, Bisou is ready to start doling out the charm and maybe even a few pecks on the cheek. The 5,500-square foot restaurant, in the former Taverna that closed in June, represents a huge leap for the Cle Group that operates Cle and Spire nightclubs.

American Heart Month: Why regular testing is critical for protecting women’s heart health
(BPT) - JoAnne Foody, M.D., FACC, FAHA, Chief Medical Officer at Esperion February marks the start of American Heart Month — a month dedicated to raising awareness about cardiovascular health and heart disease prevention. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), every 34 seconds, one person dies in the United States from cardiovascular disease (CVD). For women in particular, CVD is the number one killer, resulting in one in three deaths each year. Despite these staggering statistics, few people recognize the impact of cardiovascular disease on women compared to other health issues that affect women such as breast cancer, reproductive disorders, mental health conditions and more. As a cardiologist, physician researcher and advocate for women’s health, shedding light on these hard truths surrounding CVD is a mission that’s near and dear to me. Cardiovascular disease is one of the greatest health threats our communities face, and it has never been more … [Read more...] about American Heart Month: Why regular testing is critical for protecting women’s heart health
SsangYong Torres Spied With Electric Powertrain
SsangYong is surely not a popular name in North America. In other regions around the world, however, the brand is known for its SUVs and off-roaders and this company is now working on a new electric vehicle. These are the first spy photos showing a prototype of the Torres with an electric powertrain under the hood. The Torres is a mid-size SUV positioned between the Korando and Rexton featuring a more rugged exterior styling. Our spies caught a camouflaged prototype of the model with no exhaust pipes hinting at a battery-electric drive system. They even had the chance to snap the rear suspension of the vehicle and you can clearly see the battery package mounted under the floor.

Facelifted Audi Q8 Spied In Standard An SQ8 Trims
The Audi Q8 family currently represents the flagship SUV range from Ingolstadt, which includes conventional, electrified, and fully electric models. The E-Tron electric SUV joined that lineup last year when it was comprehensively refreshed, and now it’s time for the combustion and hybrid models to get a mid-cycle facelift. We have new photos showing different members of the Q8 portfolio spied hiding some visual and mechanical revisions. The gallery below contains photos taken in Germany and Sweden during the refreshed Q8's pre-production evaluations.

Luckily, as our friends at KPRC recently reminded us , you can strike two birds with one stone and combine the two most Louisiana things ever into one dish: the boudin king cake. Robert Carriker, a professor of at the University of Louisiana and founder of boudinlink.com and kingcaker.com, told the Beaumont Enterprise in 2015 that he was the original inventor of the doughy boudin-stuffed treat. When he posted a recipe for the boudin king cake on his website in 2015, he said it exploded in popularity.

H-E-B employee’s petition for grocery chain to change sick leave gains traction
An anonymous H-E-B employee is calling for company CEO Howard Butt, III to change the grocery store's sick day policy after alleging they were told to continue working after testing positive for COVID-19 on Jan. 1, 2023. "While I wasn't running a fever, I had terrible symptoms and by all means should have been encouraged to stay at home," the person posted in January, along with their petition . The employee states that the sick leave issue arose because of their testing positive for COVID, however the petition argues against the H-E-B's sick policy as a whole. The company's previous policy allowed employees to call out sick eight times over the span of a year. Now, employees could potentially lose their job if they call out more than three times in six months, according to a June 2022 article published by the San Antonio Report. H-E-B company policy uses a step system to track an employee's attendance, according to reporter Waylon Cunningham. Employees gain steps if they miss … [Read more...] about H-E-B employee’s petition for grocery chain to change sick leave gains traction
