MUMBAI - Suzuki Motor Corporation's Indian subsidiary Maruti SuzukiIndia Limited has launched the all-new Dzire compact sedan in Indiarecently. Dzire is one of the main models of Maruti Suzuki. It is India'slargest selling sedan with accumulated sales of approximately 1.4mill ion units in India. The all-new Dzire shares the same newHEARTECT platform as those adopted for the all-new Swift, which isbeing sold in Japan, Europe, and other countries from 2017. Thanks toits lightweight and high-rigidity body, it strikes a balance betweenrunning performance and fuel-efficiency, while meeting safety regulations thatare scheduled to be introduced in India. The wide grille combined with the chromeaccents, accentuates this wide stance and the LED headlamps and daytimerunning lights add to the design up front, making it look very current! The caralso gets a set of 15-inch wheels; steel ones on the lower variantsand diamond cut alloys on the higher spec. The exterior design realisessedan-like flowing silhouette, while enhancing user-friendliness of asedan by securing large rear leg and luggage space.

OTTAWA - Sales in the GTA housing market over the past few monthsappear to be mirroring trends in the GVA during its period of orderlydecline in 2016. While the impact of policy measures - includingthose recently implemented by the Ontario government - tend to betemporary, prospects for a gradual rise in borrowing rates later thisyear and in 2018 are likely to mitigate against a renewed run-up.In a recent repor t, TD Economics highlighted that the GTA housingmarket has become too hot for comfor t and that speculation wasincreasingly driving unsustainable home price gains. The provincialgovernment stepped in with a 16-measure Fair Housing Plan in Aprilto help cool the market, which included the tracking of citizenship onpurchases, a non resident tax, a vacant land and proper ty tax andfinally the expansion of rent control.The market has shifted from tight to balanced fairly quickly, whichwill likely bring home price growth down sharply. The average homeprice is now on track for a 12% gain this year, or somewhat lower thanthe 15% we were anticipating in April. Average prices in the GTA arealso on track for a 4% decline next year, largely in line with the 3%decline expected in the Greater Vancouver Area (GVA) this year.Canada rate hikes are likely to feed into higher long-term yields laterthis year. The 5-year government bond yield is expected to rise 40

basis points later this year, some of which will feed into higher mor t-gage rates (Char t 2). By the time the GTA is ready to shake off policychanges later this year, interest rates are expected to be higher. Givenlofty home prices, and weak household income growth (below 2% in2015), the GTA and Vancouver are the most sensitive markets tohigher mor tgage rates. As rates rise, GTA home sales are expected toremain near longer-term trend levels, while sales in Vancouver arelikely to retrace gains made earlier this year.

'GOOD' FAT DIET MAY REDUCEBOWEL DISEASE SYMPTOMNEW YORK, (IANS) A "good" high fat diet may lead to specificchanges in gut bacteria that could fight harmful inflammationand reduce symptoms of Crohn's disease, a chronic inflam-matory bowel disorder, says a new study. Crohn's diseasecauses debilitating intestinal swelling, cramping and diar-rhoea. In the new study, a diet of plant-derived "good" fats,including coconut oil or cocoa butter, drastically reduced bac-terial diversity in mice with Crohn's-like disease. Mice fedbeneficial fatty diets had up to thir ty per cent fewer kinds ofgut bacteria as those fed a normal diet, collectively resultingin a very different gut microbial composition. Some of thespecies changes showed up in faeces, while others weredifferent in cecum, a por tion of the intestine commonly in-flamed in Crohn's disease. Mice fed even low concentrationsof coconut oil or cocoa butter also had less severe smallintestine inflammation, according to the findings presented atthe annual Digestive Disease Week conference in Chicago.

OLDER FATHERS MAY HAVE 'GEEKIER' SONSLONDON, (IANS) Sons of older fathers are more intelligent, morefocused on their interests and less concerned about fitting in, all char-acteristics typically seen in 'geeks', suggests new research. Whileprevious research linked older paternal age to risk of autism andschizophrenia, this study published in Translational Psychiatry sug-gests that children of older fathers may also have cer tain advantagesover their peers in educational and career settings. "We have knownfor a while about the negative consequences of advanced paternalage, but now we have shown that these children may also go on tohave better educational and career prospects," said MagdalenaJanecka from King's College London. The researchers collectedbehavioural and cognitive data from Britain's 15,000 twin pairs in theTwins Early Development Study (TEDS). When the twins were 12

years old, they completed online tests that measured 'geek-like' traits,including non-verbal IQ, strong focus on the subject of interest andlevels of social aloofness. Using this information, the researcherscomputed a 'geek index' for every child in the study and higher geekindex scores were repor ted in the sons of older fathers. In addition,they found that 'geekier' children do better in school exams, par ticu-larly in the STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathemat-ics) subjects. These results also have implications for understandinglinks between higher paternal age, autism and characteristics typi-cally seen in 'geeks'. The researchers think that some of the genes for 'geekiness'and for autism are overlapping, and that those genes are more likely to be presentin older fathers. 'When the child is born only with some of those genes, they may bemore likely to succeed in school.

African plant extract couldtreat Alzheimer's diseaseLONDON, (IANS) Raising hope for a novel treatment forAlzheimer's disease, researchers have found that a plantextract used for centuries in traditional medicine in Nigeriacould form the basis of a new drug to treat the progressivebrain disorder that impairs memory. The study, published inthe journal Pharmaceutical Biology, has shown that the ex-tract taken from the leaves, stem and roots of Carpolobialutea could help to protect chemical messengers in the brainwhich play a vital role in functions, including memory andlearning. The tree extract could pave the way for new drugsto tackle patient symptoms but without the unwanted side-effects associated with some current treatments, the studysaid. "As a population we are living longer, and the numberof people with dementia is growing at an alarming rate. Ourfindings suggest that traditional medicines will provide newchemicals able to temper Alzheimer's disease progression,"said lead researcher Wayne Car ter from University ofNottingham in Britain. Carpolobia lutea, known more com-monly as cattle stick, is a small shrub found native to Cen-tral and West Africa. Herbalists in Nigerian tribes use theessence of the root as an aphrodisiac and the treatment ofgenitourinary infections, gingivitis, and waist pains. In pa-tients with Alzheimer's disease and other diseases such asParkinson's disease and myasthenia gravis, the activity ofthe neurotransmitter acetylcholine is reduced, leading toproblems with memory and attention. The researchers foundthat the Carpolobia lutea plant was highly effective in pre-venting the breakdown of acetylcholine and also had other benefi-cial antioxidant properties in fighting free radicals - the unstable atomsthat can cause damage to cells and contribute to ageing anddisease, that may be exacerbated in Alzheimer's disease.

Late bedtime linked to less control over OCD symptomsNEW YORK, (IANS) People who go to bed late appear to have lesscontrol over their obsessive thoughts, according to results of a smallstudy. "That we find that there are specific negative consequences of sleepingat the wrong times, that's something to educate the public about," said MeredithColes, Professor of Psychology at Binghamton University, State University of NewYork. The researchers monitored 20 individuals diagnosed with Obsessive-Com-pulsive Disorder (OCD) - a common chronic disorder that leads to repetitivebehaviour - and 10 individuals with OCD-like symptoms during one week of sleep.Participants completed sleep diaries and daily ratings of perceived degree ofcontrol over obsessive thoughts and ritualised behaviours.The researchers found that previous night's bedtime significantly predicted partici-

pants' perceived ability to control their obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviouron the subsequent day. "We're really interested in how this kind of unusual timingof sleep might affect cognitive functioning," said Jessica Schubert from Universityof Michigan Medical School. "One possibility is impulse control.It might be that something about shifting the timing of your sleep might reduce yourability to control your thoughts and your behaviours," Schuber t said."So it might make it more likely that you're going to have a hard timedismissing intrusive thoughts characteristic of obsessions, and itmight make it more difficult for you to refrain from compulsivebehaviours that are designed to reduce the anxiety caused by obses-sive thoughts," Schuber t added.
