<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;">MT. PLEASANT, Mich -- It's official: GM is planning on building an electric pickup. This new has been highly speculated for several months but was recently confirmed by GM CEO, Mary Barra, on a call with investors, following her report of the corporation's 2019 first-quarter earnings. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: #fefdfa;">Recently, GM and Plymouth-based electric vehicle start-up Rivian had been in talks with the intention of collaborating on an electric project together, but that appeared to fall apart rather quickly as rival Ford Motor Co. announced it would invest $500 million in the small company to develop all-new, battery-electric vehicles for the Ford portfolio. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: #fefdfa;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: #fefdfa;">GM has made it clear through numerous talks and press releases that it is in the early stages of a plan to release 20 new electric vehicles by 2023, and since pickups are a key profit-driver for GM as well as their Detroit competitors, it only makes sense that an electric truck would be in the works. To further add to the seriousness of this announcement, GM has been slowly working behind the scenes to restructure its leadership to prepare for this electrification pivot - promoting former electric-vehicle development chief Pamela Fletcher to the senior leadership team in September, in addition to former global product chief Mark Reuss to president of GM earlier this year. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;">Mary Barra led into the announcement stating that: </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;"><i>"GM has an industry-leading truck franchise and industry-leading electrification capabilities. I assure you we will not cede our leadership on either front...we intend to create an all-electric future that will include a complete range of EVs - including full-size pickups." </i></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #fafafa;">She then went on to say that she would share more details when it became "competitively appropriate". All other GM spokespeople have declined to comment. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #fafafa;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #fafafa;">How do you feel about the idea of an electric pickup? Is it a hit or a miss for you? Comment and let us know! </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;">MT. PLEASANT, Mich -- General Motors is pushing ahead in the electric/self-driving car game, and their self-given deadline to deploy a fleet of autonomous vehicles for ride-sharing is fast approaching! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;">In a press conference in February, when asked about the corporation's progress on the project, Mary Barra stated that GM was <i>"continuing to make rapid progress with the technology"</i> and that they were <i>"the only player out there with the hardware and the software under one roof". </i></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;">But that kind of progress comes with a fair amount of spending, so how is the corporation able to afford this project? They're relying on their core business: trucks. GM reported a net profit of $2.1 billion for the first quarter, up from $1.1 billion a year ago! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;">Numerous skeptics on Wall Street, and from other automakers have come out with statements that express doubt towards GM's ability to hold to their established timeline, but the Detroit carmaker is not backing down from their promises. Do you think GM will be able to meet their deadline of releasing a self-driving fleet of vehicles by late this year/early next? Why or why not? </span><br />

<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;">MT. PLEASANT, Mich -- In order to prepare for the release of the 2019 Next Generation Corvette that will be revealed on July 18, 2019, General Motors is adding a second shift and more than 400 hourly jobs at its Bowling Green Assembly plant in Kentucky to support the production of the Next Generation Corvette - increasing the plant's workforce to more than 1,300. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: #fefdfa;">Since 2011, GM has invested more than $900 million into Bowling Green, including investments towards a new body shop, increased engine capacity, a new paint shop, Performance Build Center, and additional plant upgrades. The plant has produced more than one million Corvettes since it opened in 1981, and its annual economic impact includes more than $76 million in state wages and $15 million in income tax. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: #fefdfa;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: #fefdfa;">The Corvette is known around the world as America's sports car, with the first-generation Corvette being introduced in 1953. It was originally designed as a show car for the 1953 Motorama display at the New York Auto Show, but it generated enough interest to go into production, and has been a staple nameplate of the Chevrolet brand ever since. Mary Barra, the current CEO of General Motors addressed the Corvette's legacy saying: </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: #fefdfa;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: #fefdfa;">"<i>The Corvette's iconic status owes so much to the men and women of Bowling Green, where it has been built exclusively for almost 40 years...this is the workforce that can deliver a next generation Corvette worthy of both its historic past and an equally exciting future, and today's announcement gets us one step closer to its reveal on July 18." </i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: #fefdfa;"><i><br /></i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: #fefdfa;">The seventh and most current generation Corvette was revealed in January 2013 at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit and was the first to bring back the Stingray nameplate since 1976. The final production seventh-generation Corvette will be auctioned off this summer with proceeds benefitting the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation. </span></span><br />

AVOCADO GREEN GODDESS GRILLED CHEESE</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You may think that the words "grilled cheese" and "healthy" don't belong anywhere near each other, and while this rendition isn't necessarily the most healthy meal you'll ever eat (at least we hope!), the avocado definitely brings it a step up from your typical GC, nutritionwise. </div>

<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;">MT. PLEASANT, Mich -- After two male directors retire, the GM board will lead the way for gender equality in the auto industry by becoming the first automotive corporation to have a majority female board. This first for an automaker places GM among a small handful of companies with roughly the same number of men and women at the highest level. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: #fefdfa;">This shift comes during a time where women are slowly gaining more power at the largest U.S. companies, lifted by pressure from investors and employees as well as state-mandated quotas. Researcher Equilar says women may now compromise half the members of Russell 3000 company boards by 2034, a forecast that's been shortened by two decades since 2016. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: #fefdfa;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: #fefdfa;">Unless major changes take place in the composition of other company boards, Barra and incoming Best Buy Co. CEO Corrie Barry will become the only female CEOs in the S&P 500 who serve a board with a majority of women directors. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: #fefdfa;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: #fefdfa;">Additionally, the board will shrink from 13 to 11 members, with two directors not standing for re-election at the annual meeting on June 4, the company said in its proxy filing. Jim Mulva, former CEO of ConocoPhillips, and Admiral Mike Mullen, former chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, are both 72, the retirement age for the automaker's board. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: #fefdfa;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: #fefdfa;">The board will temporarily waive the retirement age requirement for Lead Director Tim Solso, also 72, for one year to assist in GM's "period of transformation" the company said. Six women, including Chief Executive Officer Mary Barra and five men complete the slate of members up for shareholder's approval at the annual meeting. </span></span></div>

<div>
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;">Carrots do extremely well all over Michigan as they prefer cool soil and temperatures - so for best results make them a spring or fall crop. They also do better in well-draining, non-compacted soil, so make sure to rake your garden bed well. They do take some time to germinate, but you can speed up the process by planting a row of radishes in between each line of carrots as radishes germinate rather quickly. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;">This hearty herb is undeterred by all of Michigan's climate mood swings, it can even survive during our harsh winters! Make sure you plant it in well-drained soil and in an area where it can receive full sun. Most varieties are drought resistant - so you don't have to worry about forgetting to water it. It does grow at a rather vigorous pace, so make sure you give it space accordingly. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;">This pure, spring beauty is a rare find in states other than Michigan, and it is protected here due to its endangered status. If you plan to plant trilliums, make sure you only buy them from a reputable nursery - do not gather them from the roadside! They bloom in early spring and then disappear for the rest of the year, so don't panic when they stop blooming. They prefer shady, moist woodland settings, so be sure to plant them in a secluded area. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: #fefdfa;">Another cool weather crop, lettuce does well in the chillier climate that is typical for Michigan. Greens in general, require very nutrient-rich soil, but they are frost-hardy, so plan to plant them outside in April. They also need plenty of room to stretch out, so make sure to put them in the ground about six inches apart. </span></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: #fefdfa;">This bushy, strong-scented perennial does best when planted in the spring, and it's foliage tends to stay green or grey through all seasons in most regions. They do well in most types of soil, regardless of the quality, however, they do not take kindly to heavy or clay soil, and should be kept away from wet, moist areas. Make sure to plant them 2 to 3 feet apart to give them room to spread out as well. </span></span></div>

It should be planted in a shady area in moist but well-draining soil that is rich in organic material from things like decomposing leaves and branches. Once the plants are established they require very little care - they will not require fertilizer, and should only be watered during a drought. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;">Ah, the quintessential summer vegetable...or should we say...fruit? Tomatoes do extremely well in Michigan, however, they are not frost-hardy, so you have to make sure to plant them after the threat of frost passes - middle of May is probably your safest bet. Make sure to plant them in an area that receives full sun, and has well-drained soil. Make sure each plant is at least 2 feet away from their nearest tomato neighbor, and as they grow to make sure to stake them to prevent damage to the plant or the fruit. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;">MT. PLEASANT, Mich -- The Cadillac CT5 is finally here! This sedan completed it's global debut today, and we have to say, we are stunned! In this new venture, Cadillac recasts the concept of American Luxury with a distinctive fusion of design, performance and comfort, supported by Cadillac's latest technologies - including Super Cruise, the world's first true hands-free driver assistance feature for limited access highways. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;">An all-new fastback design underscores the CT5's refined ride, complemented with a driver-centric interior that blends high technology and high-touch elements. Luxury and sport models allow customers to tailor the car to their style preferences with unique design and trim. Steve Carlisle, the president of Cadillac, introduced the vehicle saying: </span><br />

<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;"><i>"The first-ever Cadillac CT5 showcases Cadillac's unique expertise in crafting American luxury sedans...its details elevate every drive and reward the senses." </i></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some highlights include: </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>A 2.0 Twin-Scroll Turbo engine is standard and Cadillac's 3.0L Twin-Turbo V6 is available on Premium Luxury and Sport models. Unique sound calibrations are tuned with the engines and each is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. </li>
<li>The driving dynamics build on Cadillac's award-winning RWD architecture and include standard Driver Control Mode. AWD is also available. </li>
<li>The latest Cadillac user experience with a large 10-inch diagonal screen, as well as intuitive controls, including a rotary controller. </li>
<li>A host of comfort and convenience features such as standard Adaptive Remote Start, cabin air purification ionizer, and available front-seat lumbar massage. </li>
<li>Driver awareness technologies include standard Safety Seat Alert and Cadillac's latest generation available Rear Camera Mirror with zoom and tilt adjustment. </li>
<li>Standard driver assistant technologies include Forward Collision Alert, Low Speed Forward Automatic Emergency Braking, and Front Pedestrian Braking.</li>
<li>Available driver assistance technologies including Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control, Enhanced Forward Automatic Emergency Braking, Automatic Parking Assist with Braking, HD Surround Vision with Recorder, Rear Pedestrian Detection and Alert, Reverse Automatic Braking, and more. </li>
</ul>
<div>
The CT5 also features an entirely new design profile, inspired by the Escala concept. It charts a new direction for Cadillac design that leverages the natural proportional advantage of the vehicle's rear-drive platform to communicate power, presence, and performance. Andrew Smith, the executive director of global Cadillac design addressed the new design saying: </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>"From every angle, the CT5 exudes athleticism, sophistication, and confidence...Cadillac's signature hard-edge cues have evolved to a more structural and fluid expression of the brand's design language." </i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
A long, 116-inch wheelbase and lengthened side glass accentuate the car's long, low proportion and sweeping fastback profile. Body sculpturing, including taut character lines, contributes to the car's strong stance and speaks to Cadillac's legacy of craftsmanship and technology. An all-LED exterior lighting strategy features signature vertical lights at all four corners of the vehicle. Bright exterior accents, unique grills, and fascias distinguish the CT5 luxury and Premium Luxury models, while the Sport model is differentiated by darker accents and performance-inspired details like rocker extensions, spoiler, and standard 19-inch wheels. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;">MT. PLEASANT, Mich -- General Motors will receive a 2019 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year Sustained Excellence Award in Energy Management for continued leadership and superior contributions to ENERGY STAR. This is GM's eighth recognition for Sustained Excellence. GM's commitment to reducing energy intensity since 2010 has eliminated 1.5 million tons in carbon emissions, equivalent to the electric use of 260,000 homes for a year. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;">The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency presents the Sustained Excellence Award to partners that have already received ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year recognition for a minimum of two consecutive years and have gone above and beyond the criteria needed to qualify for recognition. It is the highest honor an organization can receive from the EPA for energy management. In 2018, GM had 17 buildings that were ENERGY STAR-certified, including two data centers. It met the Energy Star Challenge for an industry with eight additional facilities globally for a total of 135 recognitions, more than any other company. Alfred J. Hildreth, global energy manager for GM addressed the recognition, saying: </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;"><i>"Energy efficiency is a key part of General Motors' strategy for a future with zero emissions...while our comprehensive energy strategy integrates sustainable practices across our value chain for maximum progress, our approach prioritizes reducing energy consumption through robust energy efficiency programs. We're honored to serve as an industry leader and are thankful for ENERGY STAR's continued recognition." </i></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i></span>
<br />

In 2010, GM committed to reducing its energy and carbon intensity by 20 percent by 2020, and in 2017, met and exceeded this goal ahead of schedule. Energy efficiency and conservation is a team effort, with each plant contributing to energy-related goals as part of its business plan. Teams share best practices and implement low cost/no cost initiatives identified in energy treasure hunts and use energy performance contracting for larger projects like LED lights, building management systems, and variable speed drives on motors. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
GM is also committed to increasing its renewable energy footprint globally and finding clean energy solutions near its operations. To date, GM has contracted or invested in a total of 1.71 terawatt hours of clean energy power in North America, equivalent to powering more than 145,000 households, and more than any other automaker in the region. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bill Wehrum, EPA Assistant Administrator for Air and Radiation congratulated GM, and this year's other winners, saying: </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

PLEASANT, Mich -- The Detroit Tiger's 2019 season kicks off with the installation of two all-new vehicles atop the center field fountain at Comerica Park, a Motor City tradition now in its 10th year. This year's showpieces? The red 2019 Chevy Blazer RS and a silver 2019 Silverado 1500 LT Trail Boss. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;">These vehicles enhance the ballpark's skyline view and complement the majestic "Chevy Fountain" that graces centerfield at Comerica Park. With more than 8,400 pounds of sheet metal hoisted into position by a crane, the vehicles remind fans in the stadium and at home of Chevy's historic relationship with American baseball and it's deep roots within Detroit. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;">Paul Edwards, the U.S. Vice President of Chevrolet Marketing celebrated this year's installment saying: </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;"><i>"This decade-old tradition allows us to celebrate Chevy's connection to baseball in our hometown, and it's a telltale sign that Opening Day is almost here...the all-new Blazer and Silverado represent innovation, endurance and personality - much like our great city of Detroit" </i></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i></span> <span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;">The attention-grabbing Blazer and the rugged Silverado showcase the quality, dependability and reliability needed to withstand the six-month baseball season, and with their bird's eye view, these heavy-hitting vehicles will cheer on the Detroit Tigers at every home game. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;">Chris Granger, Group President of Sports and Entertainment for Ilitch Holdings, Inc also released a statement regarding this time-honored tradition, saying: </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;"><i>"Chevrolet and the Detroit Tigers are two of the Motor City's most iconic brands, and we're honored to be celebrating the 10-year mark of this great tradition...Chevy continues to be a great partner, not only to the Tigers, but with the entire Major League Baseball family as well." </i></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: #fefdfa;">This is evidenced by Chevy's involvement with the sport on so many levels. Their connection to baseball extends from the backyard to the major leagues as the Official Vehicle of Major League Baseball and the Official Automotive Sponsor of the PLAY BALL initiative. Through Chevy Cares programs like Chevy Youth Baseball, kids are empowered to stay active, build self-esteem and learn teamwork-skills that can help them on and off the field. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: #fefdfa;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: #fefdfa;">Since the Chevy Youth Baseball program launched in 2006, more than 8 million kids have participated in nearly 2,000 free clinics with participation from current and former players and coaches. More than 1,300 Chevy dealers across the U.S. have donated nearly 163,000 equipment kits and jerseys to encourage the next generation of baseball players. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;">MT. PLEASANT, Mich -- The first-ever CT5 Cadillac was revealed today with a social media campaign designed to stimulate the senses using autonomous sensory meridian response, otherwise known as ASMR. </span><br />
<br />
The video was made with an intent to focus on distinct sounds that trigger a physical response, often experienced as a spine-tingling sensation. Some examples being the rev of the CT5's available 3.0L Twin Turbo engine, audio from its Bose Performance Speakers, and the whisper of its custom black-and-white camouflage wrap slowly being peeled away to reveal the new sedan's exterior.<br />
<br />
The choice to reveal the vehicle using ASMR videos (dubbed Sensory Symphony) was explained by Cadillac's chief marketing officer, Deborah Wahl. She said:<br />
<br />
<i>"The Cadillac CT5 is meant to overwhelm all of the senses, and that's why we're using ASMR-style videos to showcase its features...the Sensory Symphony videos are designed to convey for viewers the same satisfying feeling that arises from driving this car." </i><br />
<i><br /></i> Brandon Vivian, Cadillac executive chief engineer also chimed in, saying:<br />
<br />
<i>"Sound leaves a lasting impression, and that's why it is such a focus for this vehicle...with standard sound optimization and active noise cancellation, our goal is to deliver a world-class cabin experience with a Cadillac-exclusive curated sound library.". </i><br />
<i><br /></i> Cadillac collaborated with artist Darel Carey to create a one-of-a-kind camouflage wrap for the CT5. The black and white tape patterns reflect forms found in nature and distort the viewer's perception of space. The videos leverage this effect to disguise the shape of the vehicle and then the camouflage is pulled back to trigger the ASMR sensation while revealing the first-ever CT5.<br />
<br />
The CT5 showcases Cadillac's unique expertise in crafting American performance sedans, with details designed to elevate every drive. Built on the outstanding evolution of Cadillac's award-winning RWD/AWD Alpha architecture, the CT5 features a standard 2.0L Turbo and available 3.0 Twin Turbo engine with unique sound calibrations, each paired to a standard 10-speed automatic transmission offering nearly imperceptible shifts.<br />
<br />
The driver-centric cockpit inside the CT5 blends high-tech and high touch for an exceptional blend of control tactility. The new sedan will be offered in Luxury and Sport models, giving customers more choices in appearance and ride character. It will make it's public debut at the New York Auto Show, but until then a new video will be featured daily on social media. Catch them on Cadillac's YouTube account or any of their social media platforms.<br />

DARK CHOCOLATE</h3>
<div>
Chocolate lovers rejoice! Your favorite sweet not only curbs those sugar cravings, it actually contains a lot of health benefits too! Dark chocolate with a high cocoa content is loaded with fiber, iron, magnesium, copper, plus an amazing range of antioxidants! In fact, studies have shown that dark chocolate contains more antioxidants than other food tested, including blueberries and acai berries! It also contains powerful health benefits like improved blood flow, lower blood pressure, and improved brain function. One study even suggests that people who consume chocolate more than five times a week have a 57% lower chance of heart disease. However, in order to take advantage of all these benefits make sure you're consuming chocolate with at least a 70% cocoa content, for best results, we suggest 85% or higher. </div>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">
SEAWEED </h3>
<div>
The thought of consuming seaweed may make you turn up your nose, but don't snub this incredibly healthy vegetation! A longtime mainstay in Asian cuisine (and for good reason), these plants are slowly making their entrance in Western diets due to their particularly high counts of minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron. It's also loaded with various bioactive compounds like phycocyanins and carotenoids. But where seaweed really shines is it's impressively high content of iodine, which is a mineral your body uses to make thyroid hormones. It does have a pretty distinct "ocean taste" but if you're not a fan of that flavor profile, you can always take it in supplement form. </div>

AVOCADO</h3>
<div>
Avocados are a fruit that's in a class of their own. They're extremely good for you, and contain a wide variety of nutrients, including 20 different vitamins and minerals. They do not contain any cholesterol or sodium and are revered by many dieticians for their high content of healthy fats. Additionally, they're loaded with fiber, and contain more potassium that bananas! </div>

CHIA SEEDS</h3>

They contain high levels of healthy fats, calcium, magnesium, protein, fiber, zinc, and various vitamins. Donned a superfood, these tiny seeds have risen to great popularity in the past few years, and are championed for the ability to contribute to weight loss as well.

BROCCOLI </h3>
<div>
When it comes to great-tasting nutrition, broccoli is an all-star food with numerous health benefits. It contains high amounts of sulforaphane, which scientists are currently studying the anti-cancer properties of. It also presents high amounts of vitamin C, B vitamins, iron, magnesium, potassium, and zinc. In addition, it contains folate which is necessary for the production and maintenance of new cells in the body. </div>

MISO PASTE </h3>
</div>
<div>
Another traditional ingredient in most Asian diets, Miso paste is made from fermented soybeans and grains and contains millions of beneficial bacteria. It stimulates the digestion system, energizes the body, and lends a distinct umami dimension to the flavor of your dishes. It's an excellent source of copper, manganese, vitamin K, protein and zinc. Plus, it's incredibly high in enzymes due to the fermentation process. While there is conflicting research on the negative effects that introducing soy into your diet may have, consuming miso in smaller quantities will not have a profound oestrogenic effect. Just make sure you thoroughly check the label before purchasing, as many soy products are made with genetically modified beans, so err on the side of caution and look for a brand that is created with organically grown ingredients. </div>

TURMERIC</h3>
</div>
<div>
This boldly-pigmented spice is major player in Indian cuisine and is used to give curry it's yellow hue. But brightly colored dishes isn't it's only claim to fame. This herb has been the subject of numerous studies which have resulted in this super spice's popularity. Its active ingredient is curcumin which has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and is a strong antioxidant. The overall content of this ingredient is not high in the spice so for your body to properly absorb it, we recommend consuming it along with black pepper, or taking it as a tincture. It's also known to increase brain activity, and lower the risk of brain diseases, in addition to helping prevent and treat Alzheimer's disease, cancer, arthritis, and age-related chronic diseases. It has also shown some promise in smaller studies for the treatment of depression, but as always, consult your doctor before making this your primary method of treatment.<br />

<h3 style="text-align: center;">
QUINOA</h3>
This ancient grain, nicknamed the "mother of all grains" by the Incas, provides a wide array of health benefits. There are hundreds of cultivated strains, but the most readily available in the US are white, red, and black. Unlike other whole grains, it is naturally gluten-free, and is a complete protein; it contains high amounts of potassium, iron, zinc, copper, fatty acids, magnesium, and much more! It has been known to help prevent kidney stones, improve blood sugar control, prevent hemorrhoids, and constipation. Due to its status as a complete protein, it's an excellent choice for those that follow vegetarian or vegan diets, but we recommend it for meat-eaters too! Just make sure you rinse it before cooking as it has a naturally bitter coating that called saponin that works as a natural insecticide.<br />

<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;">MT. PLEASANT, Mich -- While you're tackling that spring cleaning list for your home, there's some spring car care that should make it to your to-dos as well! We all spend the winter season dreaming of the road trips and adventures we'll experience once the warmer months roll around, but before you hit the road to catch those sun rays, you should make sure your car is up to the task. Winter weather can have some detrimental effects on your vehicle, but if you follow this checklist, your car should be ready for whatever travel plans your spring and summer months hold. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;"><b>Have Your Steering and Suspension Inspected</b>: Due to the freeze/thaw cycles that make up the majority of Michigan winters, potholes are a constant issue. Hitting these obstructions can severely damage your steering and suspension, but our service experts can get your vehicle back in alignment in no time. </span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;"><b>Repair Dings and Dents</b>: Harsh winter weather can lead to minor car body damage. While this doesn't necessarily affect the way your vehicle runs, it can decrease the aesthetics of your vehicle and thus, the value of your car. </span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;"><b>Check Your A/C</b>: There is nothing more disappointing than turning on your A/C once the summer months roll around and feeling nothing but hot air. Turn on the A/C and run the fan on all speeds. If something seems amiss, our certified service center would be happy to take care of the necessary repairs. </span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;"><b>Change Windshield Wipers</b>: The seemingly neverending downpour of hail, snow, and sleet can seriously mar your wipers, not to mention, you may want to purchase some new ones to prep for those spring showers that are on their way! </span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: #fefdfa;"><b>Tire Maintenance</b>: Tires are the only point of contact between you and the road, so it's important that they're kept in good condition. Check the pressure of all them, including your spare, and make sure the tread is in good condition as well. </span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: #fefdfa;"><b>Inspect Air Filter</b>: A clogged air filter can severely affect a car's performance and reduce your gas mileage by up to 10%! </span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: #fefdfa;"><b>Check Belts and Hoses</b>: Cold temperatures can harden and/or damage rubber so make sure you check your belts and hoses for hardening, softening, leaks, cracks, blistering, or any other visible damage. </span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: #fefdfa;"><b>Inspect Your Battery</b>: Cold temperatures can really do a number on your battery so make sure you have it tested. It's also a good idea to double check that it's properly mounted and that the connections are clean, tight, and corrosion-free. </span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: #fefdfa;"><b>Check Your Fluids</b>: It can be easy to slack on keeping track of the level of your vehicle's fluids during the winter months, but once spring rolls around it's essential that you make sure they're all newly changed and topped off. This includes your oil, washer fluid, and coolant. </span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: #fefdfa;"><b>Get a Full Detail</b>: You're cleaning your house from top to bottom, so why not your vehicle too? Collected dirt, dust, and grime on your vehicle can cause major damage including rust to the exterior of your vehicle and create deterioration inside your vehicle as well. </span></span></li>

<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;">MT. PLEASANT, Mich -- The myChevrolet mobile app recently received a new feature that will help ease loved ones' worries and make the process of checking-in more convenient. The feature is called Vehicle Locate and it allows Chevy owners to send automated text alerts to friends and family when their connected vehicle enters or leaves a designated boundary area, or arrives at or departs from an address. Owners can also use the feature to pinpoint the location of their connected vehicle at any given time. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;">The new mobile app update replaces the Family Link service, which was solely web-based. When you set up the new vehicle locate, you can create boundary areas, as wide as a 20-mile radius or as small as a specific address. You can then select you should receive alerts when your vehicle enters or leaves that designated area. Up to 10 people can receive a specific boundary alert, and each party is given the option to opt in. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;">Alejandra Gonzalez, product manager for Chevrolet's remote services said of the new feature: </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;"><i>"At Chevrolet, we aim to make our drivers' lives easier through smart and purposeful technologies...Vehicle Locate provides both drivers and their loved ones with peace of mind in a variety of different drive-related scenarios." </i></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i></span> <span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;">The functionality of the new feature goes beyond just keeping families connected. Chevrolet has identified a number of different scenarios where Vehicle Locate makes it easier to stay in touch, including: </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>The Connected Commuter</b>: A working professional who regularly notifies family or friends once they have left work or are nearing home. Vehicle locate eliminates the need to send a text by automatically sending out a notification.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>The Concerned Parent</b>: When teenagers start driving, it can be a constant point of worry for any parent. To help minimize worry, parents can work with their new drivers to receive automatic alerts when the vehicle arrives at school or when it leaves a designated radius.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>The Modern Dater</b>: Blind and online dates can be exciting, but the idea of meeting up with a stranger can also be somewhat concerning. Instead of regularly texting friends and family members updates on your whereabouts, daters can have their vehicle automatically send out a text once it has left the planned restaurant or once the vehicle has arrived back at home.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>The Helpful Truck Owner</b>: Truck owners often get requests to let friends borrow their vehicle to help move or transport large items. Vehicle Locate can help you keep tabs on your truck and anticipate its return.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Vehicle Locate will be available to Chevy owners that have an eligible 2012 model year or newer Chevrolet vehicle. The service is part of the Remote Access Plan, which also provides mobile app features like remote key fob services to remotely start, stop, lock, and unlock properly equipped GM vehicles, and on-demand diagnostics to troubleshoot common issues. </span><br />

JOAN OF ARC</h3>
</div>
<div>
Nicknamed the "The Maid of Orleans" Joan of Arc is considered a heroine of France for her role during the Lancastrian phase of the Hundred Years War, and was canonized as a Roman Catholic Saint. From an early age Joan claimed to see visions of the Archangel Michael, Saint Margaret, telling her to support Charles VII and to aid in recovering France from English domination. She participated in the Siege of Orleans, and gained recognition when the siege was lifted only nine days later. On May 23, 1430 she was captured and handed over to the English and put on trial for a variety of charges including heresy and cross-dressing. She was declared guilty and burned at the stake at the age of nineteen. However, in 1456 an inquisitorial court examined and debunked the trial, pronouncing her innocent and declared her a martyr. To this day, Joan of Arc remains a popular figure in literature, painting, sculpture, and numerous other cultural works. </div>

FRIDA KHALO </h3>
</div>
<div>
Frida Khalo was a Mexican artist who created a large body of work inspired by the nature and artifacts of Mexico. Her unique style explored questions of identity, postcolonialism, gender, class, and race in Mexican society. She was disabled by polio as a child, and in her teenage years was involved in a bus accident that caused lifelong pain and medical problems. In 1927 she joined the Mexican communist party through which she met her husband, fellow artist Diego Rivera. Their relationship was extremely volatile and included a year long divorce, plus numerous affairs. Through most of her life she was known mainly as Rivera's wife, and only achieved her own solo exhibition in 1953, one year before her death. Her work was rediscovered in the 1970s, and became an icon for female artists, feminists, and the LGBTQ community for her uncompromising depiction of the female experience and form. </div>
