This isn’t to say Kia is completely averse from chasing trends, though. Just in time for Halloween, Kia went and dressed up its refreshed 2023 Telluride as an off-roader. The 2023 Kia Telluride X-Pro doesn’t fully commit to the overland bit, but it has 0.4 inches more ground clearance than the base model, 18-inch wheels shod with all-terrain tires, an increased 5,500-lb tow capacity, and revised suspension tuning. It looks the part and handles simple obstacles with ease....

It’s probably part of my job to have some understanding of every car that’s for sale. It’s probably important for me to be able to tell you the difference between an Infiniti QX50 and QX70 even though I’m like 40% sure I made one of those up. I’ve even driven an Escalade quite recently and I’m sure it had the V8. I was pretty sure it only had the V8....

Whilst not all schools use this test, over 50% of UK secondary schools do. The test is designed to work out how each student best learns and thinks, allowing teachers and staff to support them better. The CAT4 is similar to an IQ test for adults and gives a baseline for the potential and strengths of each student whilst highlighting any weaknesses they might have. With this information, teachers can structure their lessons to suit different learning types....

Welcome to The Morning Dump, bite-sized stories corralled into a single article for your morning perusal. If your morning coffee’s working a little too well, pull up a throne and have a gander at the best of the rest of yesterday. Mercedes-Benz And Sila Think There’s Still Plenty Of Life In Lithium I won’t lie, electric cars are pretty awesome. Clean, quiet, fast, and efficient in stop-and-go cycles, they make killer commuter vehicles....

It was first published in the 2011 school year by the University of Iowa and was designed to replace the Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS) and the Iowa Test of Educational Development. However, the Iowa Assessments Exam is often used with the ITBS, alongside other cognitive tests such as the NNAT or CogAt, as part of the admissions process for gifted and talented programs. Despite being created for Iowa, the exam is used in many states and private schools across the country....

This is an assessment that is used for a variety of reasons, from recruitment or promotions through to team bonding and staff development. But what is it and why do employers use it? Let’s find out. What Is the McQuaig Mental Agility Test? The McQuaig Mental Agility Test is a general intelligence or cognitive ability test. General intelligence is often commonly referred to simply as ‘G’. ‘G’ tests assess how candidates understand and process information....

[Editor’s Note: Since we believe in very full disclosure, I’ll let you in on a secret: Toyota forgot to invite us to the new Prius launch until it was almost too late, so we had to find someone local the day before. Luckily, Emily, a science writer for Cal Tech and avid builder of contraptions, was close by! You may remember Emily from her story about 3-D printing a side marker lamp for her rare Toyota truck, and this is her first go at a car review....

Before you commit, it’s important to understand different life insurance types to see which policy best matches your goals. Not sure where to begin? We’ve got you covered. Read on to learn about the two main kinds of life insurance and find which one is right for you....

Of course, the kind of alien I’m picturing is a sort of silly sci-fi one. Our world has produced beings as different as Audrey Tautou and a Bigfin Squid so I tend to think that whatever aliens may be, they’re not likely to be anything like us, at all. And by “us” I mean Earth beings, from ear mites to swordfish and everything in between. And still, even with all that in mind, I still think this huge Renault looks like an alien....

(1) Live in present, Don’t Cling to Past: Sticking on to an old clash, contention or that you were wronged by somebody can devour a considerable measure of time, vitality and space in your life. It can likewise be strangely soothing since you are so accustomed to it. So what you can do is stop hurting yourself and accept whatever has happened is in past and start moving on. This what happy people do ‘Move On’....

Don’t believe me? Look! See those odd, matte-finish black fenders? They’re rubber! I can’t think of any other car that used actual, deformable rubber as major body panels like this. Sure, there’s been plenty of plastics and rubber-coated materials, and rubber bumpers that may even form parts of fenders, but as far as a whole metal body panel being replaced with a rubber one, I think these GPO vehicles are the lone example....

Located all by itself in the Jayco section of Thor Industries’ display was this little trailer. The sign telling you about it was covered up and it wasn’t even placed in a manner that would have you think it’s something special. I only later found out that the cool little trailer I toured is a new model for 2023, and this is the prototype for it. Maybe I missed a reveal or something because this little guy is so well thought-out that it deserves some attention....

Many techniques help you make the most of your to-do list. Perhaps you keep a mental note of tasks to be finished by the end of the day. Or you may write down a list, allowing you to physically cross out a completed task. Or possibly you even be using specific project management software to keep your projects on track. Whatever your choice, the humble to-do list is a widely used, yet highly underrated, tool at your disposal....

Yes, this was something of a trend in the 1940s and 1950s, where a car’s fuel filler would be entirely obscured behind or underneath a taillight, which was hinged or on some sort of pivot to swing or flip or turn out of the way to give access to the gas cap. They’re fun! Like a bookshelf that hides a door or a secret panel in, well, pretty much anything, designs that offer hidden surprises almost always delight people....

Round taillights have been around since the very earliest of cars, starting with the lone red-lensed kerosene lanterns found on so many early vehicles, and continuing on as a design element on many cars, notably Ford’s affinity for them in the 1950s and 1960s. Unlike headlamps, trapped under the cruel bindings of America’s sealed-beam headlight laws (at least until rectangular lamps were available in the mid-1970s and then shaped ones from 1984), there was nothing that forced taillights to be round....

You can think of the Felicia FUN’s innovation as a sort of marriage between two other small-truck funnovations: the foldable mid-gate, as seen on the Chevy Avalanche and Toyota bB Opendeck, and the seats in the truck bed, as seen, famously, on the Subaru BRAT. Okay, so what’s going on here? Well, the Felicia FUN was, essentially a version of the pickup truck variant of the Škoda Felicia, which was in turn an update of the Škoda Favorit, which was Škoda’s first transverse front engine/front wheel drive car after years and years of Škoda sticking with rear engine/rear wheel drive cars....

Short-term goals are smaller, easier to accomplish and focus on things you would like to happen over the next year or two. Long-term goals focus more on the big picture and things you would like three, five or 10 years from now. Goal-setting techniques and strategies have been a topic of interest for scientists and medical professionals for decades. The most famous of these people was Dr Edwin Locke, who found that there is a direct connection between performance, positivity and having focused goals....

This is certainly true now. And with many of us spending a significant proportion of our lives at work, it’s never been more important to love what you do. According to the World Economic Forum, the average American works 1,757 hours per year. However, in the UK, workers average 1,670 working hours per year, and in Germany, it’s 1,354 hours per year. Therefore, with so many hours spent at work, it’s essential to find an interesting job that excites and motivates you....

Veterinarians are licensed professionals. They treat diseased and wounded animals of all sorts so they undergo specialized training before they can start working. While it is a different certification from being a medical doctor or “M.D.”, it has many similarities to that profession. If you are wondering what are the steps to becoming licensed as a vet, look no further! How to Become a Licensed Vet 1. Earn a bachelor’s degree in biological sciences....
