I'm known around the Amazon campus as the BBQ sauce guy.

Have a good one.

I grew up not financially stable,

and I didn't want my daughter to grow up like that

I knew that I wanted to make my own BBQ sauce,

and I had a couple of ingredients in mind.

So I gave it a go.

So this is my

Mr. Maurs Original Premium BBQ Sauce.

The secret stuff, don't tell anybody.

And my slogan is, flavor out of this world.

I figured, what is a good way to sell.

I initially wanted to do Fulfillment by Amazon

because they do that well.

We take care of the customer service, we store it,

we pick and pack, and ship the product to the customer.

And then you as a business person, just focus on

growing your business and making your product better.

Business is great.

For me, being on Amazon

the whole world has the capability of buying my products

So it means everything to me.

It really does.

I want to be the best role-model for

for my daughter that I can be.

Showing that I am motivated,

and have the will to open my own business.

If she can at least take part of that

That would be a blessing.

Icona's €2.5 million supercar is fast, attractive and looking for love

Since it launched in 2013, the limited edition Icona Vulcano has been a showstopper.

The boutique brand followed with a one-off titanium version two years later, but apparently being the only titanium car in the world isnt enough to woo a suitable buyer.

Icona has been shopping the Vulcano Titanium around, and following forays into the USA and China, the car has now returned to Europe.

Titanium is a logical fit for service in supercars, but its mix of light weight, strength and rust-proof properties havent been fully utilized because of its exorbitant cost.

Sure, there are titanium components in some supercars, but the material isnt widely used in the motoring world.

Given its status as a low-volume, ultra-expensive supercar, price isnt really an issue for the Vulcano Titanium. Although some carbon fiber is woven into the mix, the Titaniums body is almost entirely made up of, well, titanium.

Each car takes 1,000 hours to build, but the results are well-and-truly worth the wait.

The Vulcano is the first car to have a body made of the lightweight material, and it possesses a totally unique look among the growing crowd of small-batch supercars.

Although the body is utterly unique, the engine isnt.

Under the shapely hood lies a supercharged LS9 V8 making 670 hp (500 kW) in standard trim, but Icona says it can be cranked up to 1,200 hp (895 kW) if the owner so desires.

Thats 200 hp (149 kW) more than initially claimed, but peak torque is down from 840 to 820 Nm (620 to 605 lb-ft).

The engine is hooked up to to a close-ratio paddleshift gearbox and, according to Icona, the powertrain was put together by ex-Ferrari engineer Claudio Lombardi and ex-Lancia man Mario Cavagnero. Those are some serious credentials. Performance is predictably impressive.

The 3,516-lb (1,595-kg) – interestingly, the same as the carbon-bodied original – Vulcano Titanium will sprint to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 2.8 seconds, will carry on to 120 mph (193 km/h) in 8.8 seconds and tops out at 217 mph (350 km/h).

Brembo provides the brakes, and the shock absorbers can be adjusted for both rebound and compression.

Thus far, that mechanical package hasnt lured a buyer for Icona. Having shopped the car around in the USA, complete with a US$2.78 million price, the company hopped across to China with the car, and a ¥68 million sticker.

The car is currently on the ground in Antibes, France ahead of the Cannes Film Festival, where potential suitors can test drive it for the first time.

So, what price all this supercharged titanium goodness? Well, it doesnt come cheap, with pricing starting at €2,500,000 in Europe. But surely someone will be willing to pay for an utterly unique, good-looking supercar. Surely. Anyone?.

Why is it important to prevent early childhood malnutrition? - Duration: 1:34.

Globally, about 156 million children

under the age of five are stunted or

have chronic malnutrition. Stunting refers to children

who are not growing as well

so they don't achieve

their optimal height potential

and that has long-term consequences for children:

increased risk of infections, increased

risk of mortality, adverse impacts on

their cognitive development, which

affects their school performance, and

in adulthood, affects the amount of wages

they could earn. The age when stunting

really happens is much earlier than we

previously thought. By age two, it's

somewhat irreversible at that point.

You have more scope to prevent

undernutrition and prevent stunting

if you focus on children under the age of two,

and so the focus was then shifted to

the first 1,000 days. One of the other

drivers that needs to become a focus is

adolescent nutrition and adolescent pregnancy.

When they start having children early,

they themselves are growing

and are undernourished and so

many times that results in their

children being born undernourished.

If we can have a focus on pregnant women,

postpartum women, but also on adolescent girls,

we are more likely to be able to

prevent undernutrition in children.

The big message is start earlier

while girls are still in school

so you can mitigate a lot of the risk.
