I'm a professional chef with experience picking the best cuts of meat for almost any steak dish. The filet mignon pairs well with many flavors, but it's imperative to not overcook this cut of meat. A fat cap, which is a thick outer layer on the meat, also adds flavor to different cuts. Here's how I cook different cuts of meat for the best steak.

Having a colonoscopy served as the wake-up call she needed to make lifestyle changes to improve her health. I've struggled with constipation and bleeding with bowel movements since childhood. When I was 16, I decided to become vegan, but I was still eating a high-processed vegan diet, so the change didn't help my digestive issues. The bleeding with bowel movements continued on and off through adulthood but got continuously worse with age. After the colonoscopy and lifestyle changes, now at 25, I experience bleeding or pain with bowel movements maybe once a year.

CARACAS, Venezuela Associated Press —Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro on Friday appointed to his Cabinet a close ally who was pardoned by US President Joe Biden last year as part of a prisoner swap and following assurances that Venezuela would hold a fair presidential election in 2024. In exchange for Saab, Maduro released 10 Americans and a fugitive defense contractor known as “Fat Leonard” who was wanted for his alleged role at the center of a massive Pentagon bribery scandal. Last month, it responded to Venezuela’s highly disputed July presidential election by sanctioning 16 of Maduro’s allies, accusing them of obstructing the vote and carrying out human rights abuses. Saab was arrested in 2020 during a fuel stop en route to Iran to negotiate oil deals on behalf of Maduro’s government. After his arrest, Maduro’s government said Saab was a special envoy on a humanitarian mission and was entitled to diplomatic immunity from criminal prosecution under international law.

The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded Friday to a Japanese anti-nuclear weapon group comprising survivors of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — In a storyline better befitting a melodrama than a popularity vote, Grazer won her second Fat Bear Contest Tuesday by defeating the male behemoth that killed her cub this summer. This is where Grazer’s cub died after it slipped over the waterfall and was killed by Chunk, perhaps the most dominant brown bear on the river. Bear 402, a female bear that was supposed to be a contestant in this year’s contest, was killed by a male brown bear the day the brackets were expected to be released. Her other surviving cub from her third litter placed second two weeks ago in the Fat Bear Junior contest. “His physical success is evident in his bulky form.”Adult male brown bears typically weigh 600 to 900 pounds in mid-summer.
