Audi A6 Car Review Price and Specifications

Audi A6 looks to hit the top rank spot with its deadly looks and drive. The Audi A6 takes off from where the Audi A4 and A8L stop. Though it looks a bit generic, the Audi A6 has all the right design cues.



The facial looks include LED headlamps, tightly cropped grille and large inlets, elongated tail-lights and the spoiler with a boot that sweeps over. The wheels now have a longer base with a wider frame but the length is a bit less. The new Audi A6 is also lighter by 80kg than the outgoing one, which needless to say gives it a better performance, handling and even a better fuel efficiency.

Even the long legged souls will feel at ease with the interiors with acres of space for the driver. The adjustable seat and steering wheel with a high visibility even on the reverse always keeps you relaxed. The seat might not be as large to your liking.



Though the rear seat has loads of legroom and decent headroom too, it is set a touch too low and this adversely impacts under-thigh support. It’s comfy enough at the back but we feel the rear seat could have been slightly larger and offered more support.

The Audi A6 comes with a new-generation 3.0 TDI that makes an impressive 51kgm of torque from just 1400rpm. The A6 needs one litre of diesel to travel 9.3km in city traffic conditions, and efficiency on the highway was 14.3kpl which is impressive.

The Audi A6 is for the fun and the frivolous. However on the flipside it has a lot of under steer to deal with when pushed hard but the biggest party pooper is the steering which feels numb and devoid of feel, even in ‘Dynamic’ mode. As a result, it’s not a very engaging drive and the brakes feel mushy too.

On the whole the Audi A6 is a big leap from its predecessors. It has all the ingredients of a luxury car with a diesel motor and yet delivers a comfortable ride. On the ride you might not be engaged but on the whole you cannot ignore the overall package it brings with it. You can also check out the likes of BMW 5 Series and the Mercedes Benz E Class.

 

Can Job Stress Cause Sickness?

As per the Charles Darwin theory, today’s homosapien in its present avatar is the most advanced version and is supposed to be equipped with the best features. And if one were to buy the evolution theory, the humans are only to get stronger in the future.

So considering even though today’s environment is deteriorating the human body is only getting stronger but the truth is far from near.


The bottom line is the average life expectancy of today’s humans has nearly halved to what it was just a few decades ago. So then what is it that is causing the downfall of our health?


Earlier sickness was considered a sign of old age but today especially in the case of the (corporate) youth who are supposed to be in the pink of their health are topping the hit list of diseases.


Scientifically it is proven that only small percentage of our sickness is caused due to hereditary or physical vulnerability but the majority of our sickness is caused due to mental deterioration.

In fact medical research is seeing a direct link between diseases and stress. Some estimates say 40 - 80% of all visits to doctors may be directly related to stress. So it is the mental strength that has given way due to stress.


It is not to say that today’s offices or corporate houses are not neat and clean. If one were to keenly observe pattern of the sickness, they are mostly non contagious sickness but sickness as a result of work place stress.


If you are still not convinced just ‘Google’ for stress related diseases and compare it with the number of contagious diseases. The number of stress related diseases would out race the number of sickness caused due to contagious germs.


Also if one were to see under which category the sickness that you or the people you know have recently had most of them would be stress related sickness. And with more number of stress related sickness coming up, these are clearly dangerous signs considering that the stress related sickness is not even contagious but still it is the major cause of sickness in people which is mostly the youth, which is the prime age of one’s life.


All this coupled with a huge time span of our lives spent at the work place along with stress to perform or perish, which is inevitable, workplace stress makes a perfect recipe for stress related sickness.


So now that you realize that workplace stress is the cause of your sickness, what are you still reading on – just beat that stress.


• Hit your office gym
• Have a regular check up with your doctor
• Do some kind of fitness activity
• Have a balanced diet
• Having yourself suitably health insured also should keep you in good shape.
• Visit your nearest career counselor or your in-house counselor, if you have one.

When your salary puts your job at risk

At the end of month nobody does their job for free. No matter how passionate one might be about their job but if your salary is hampered, it is sure not to go down well.

Salary is actually a reward for your services towards the employer. So how do we ensure the right rewards for our job?

Firstly be realistic. Be really practical about how much salary you truly deserve. It should not be based on your whims and fancies.

Ensure that your salary expectations are based on the nature of your job, the current industry pay scale for your job, your personal finances and most importantly based on your job performance.

Your salary expectation must be a consideration of all these various factors and not just your expectations.

Just because you are good at your job does not mean you need to be paid well. One must also be sure that the organization too can afford it. Also understand why a company needs to pay you.

In simple terms they pay you because of the value you bring to the organization and the way you perform your job.

So if you can deliver profitable results to the company the organization would surely not like to lose such an asset.

In some situations you have to be flexible about your salary. A situation like the recession demands us to be more viable with our salary where the entire market is under shoe string budget.

No matter how much salary you earn if you do not spend it wisely you are sure putting yourself at risk. Therefore ensure that you spend only as much as required.

Also the job markets are getting competent with factors like outsourcing and technology making for cheaper costs. So you need to have a negotiable salary bracket.

Always looking at the larger picture helps. Salary though a very important factor in your career should never be the main focus of your career.

Though your salary may not be up to your expectations you could be in a thriving organization or upcoming job market which could be the next big thing.

In fact you could already be getting a lot of perks like employee insurance medical claim benefits, canteen and transport facilities.

All these perks too add up to your income. So never take decisions solely based on your salary.

Money is the byproduct of a good job performance. If you are successful at your job you will surely have a greater chance of getting a good appraisal. Therefore consistent job performance is the key.

 

Fake Id drivers in Ola Uber System Continues

Yet again, your Cab Ride is assigned to a driver named RAMESH but the DRIVER that came was SURESH – Fake ID drivers in Ola Uber system continues.

Same Old duplicate driver trick in a yet another Ola Uber Cab. The driver, whose name showed in the app was Vishal Parik but Mahadev was the one who came to pick up the passenger.

Here's the story:

Cabbie misbehaves with woman passenger, held 

It's hardly been 5 days since the last incident where a Ola driver tried to molest a women passenger and seems that news has spread. Only this time, instead of the Ola-Uber and the concerned authorities, seems like the drivers have got the better knowledge of the story.

Yes, we know history repeats itself but this time even history has outdone itself in such a shortest span of time. That too its not even been 7 days since the last incident of Fake Id drivers in Ola Uber System.

This time the Cabbie misbehaves with woman passenger in broad day light at 4.15 p.m. in a busy area of SBM Circle on KG Road in Bangalore. When the cab arrives to pick up  the waiting charges has already begun.

When the 22-year-old woman passenger checked the app and asked the driver he started to abuse, removed his sandals and even went towards her to threaten her.

Luckily passerby interfered and sent the driver away.

A complaint has been lodged with the police station. However, the problem is there is a difference in the name given by the victim, therefore its the same old wine in a new bottle or rather cab one must say.

Just hope this serves as serious warning and hope there is immediate action from Ola Uber and the authorities to ensure that the driver who comes to pick up the passenger and the driver on app is the same.

Passengers meanwhile please ensure to check if the driver on your app and one who has come to pick you up is the same.

It’s simple, if its not the driver you see in your Ola Uber app, don’t take the ride.

Beware of Fake Id drivers in Ola Uber System

Your Cab Ride is assigned to a driver named RAMESH but the DRIVER that came was SURESH - Beware of Fake ID drivers

Hope most of you heard about recent incident in Bangalore. A lady had boarded a Ola cab and on the way to airport from Indiranagar, Bangalore.

Here's the news:

Ola molestation case: Cabbie used fake ID

Bengaluru woman ‘kidnapped’ by drunk Ola driver, quick thinking saves her

Ola driver arrested for kidnapping airport-bound woman

She noticed the cab guy looking at rear view mirror more than usual. So warning next time you book a cab, especially late hours, just a keep an eye, dont just ignore and chat or be on call. Be alert but dont panic.

Coming to the point, yes it turns out true, suddenly cab guy starts to drive fast and wanted to change route. Cab got slowed at Airport high way toll gate.

She banged the windows, luckily people around saw, stopped the cab and rest is in news.

But main point is the person driving was not the owner of the car nor the driver who was shown on the app. This means the driver who picked her up was someone else different from the person who was assigned the ride in the app.

So one more loop hole or rather scope for improvement. Offcourse mostly the driver who is on your Ola app is your driver.

But in this case owner had given the car to other person.

So message is clear, if you are taking a ola uber cab, ask for or see if driver and owner of car is same.

I know its not possible, but if its a single lady, late night, dont take cab, if driver hesitates or argues.

Sooner or later if 7 out of 10 passengers ask drivers. They will agree. If they dont, cancel ride, sooner or later Ola Uber will implement some rule.

It's simple, if its not the driver you see in your Ola Uber app, don't take the ride.

Its ok, if you get late, but dont forget the larger picture, and anyways its mostly if your travelling lone and at night or a new place.

Plus sooner or later, this issue is something will be solved if its raised as its not big deal for the companies to implement.

Request to all concerned authorities:

For eg: you see the auto drivers license on back of seat, so similarly hope we get the same sticker to be put in cabs as well on the windshield inside.  So passengers know who is owner, or if driver is different from owner.

Offcourse, in this incident even the owner of cab was called by police.

Police to question owner, driver who gave Ola cab to kidnapper

So there is scope for owner not being careful to whom he gives his car.Later owner can just say i was not aware. So there must be some rule where owners of cab take responsiblity while giving cars to drivers.

I know this might be open to suggestions, critique or debate, which is good.

But what i want to point is a concern, which has all the makings of a big incident. So the post...

Transcend 8 Gb Class 4 Microsdhc Memory Card Review

Dont expect too much from this Made in china memory card

Actually, other reviewers have written everything about the card and there is nothing much to cover. However the only catch is this is a MADE IN CHINA memory card ....

I was shocked to recieve the memory card at this price, but however I decided to take it with a pinch of salt and found that nothing comes for free in this world, and there is always a catch.

This is a MADE IN CHINA memory card and there is a clear difference in the quality compared to Transcend cards MADE IN KOREA.

So dont expect too much from the card, its good if it lasts and if it didn't... now you know the reason why.

So if you are one of those looking for products worth every penny then look for a better memory card or else at this price, later don't complain about the quality of the product.

ALSO TO CHECK IF YOUR CARD IS GENUINE. GOTO THE TRANSCEND SITE AND ENTER THE PRODUCT AND SERIAL NUMBER ON THE MEMORY CARD YOU GOT TO CHECK IF YOUR MEMORY CARD IS GENUINE.

I found a lot of stuff on the internet about duplicate memory cards from china.

Lenovo K8 note Oreo update. Phone heating, charging, hanging problem

Edit: 5-June-2018

Lenovo K8 note Oreo update. Phone Heating, charging, hanging issue is coz VoltE is using 100% CPU.
1. DISABLE VoltE. No issues frm 10 days.

Issue fixed by turning off 'Enhanced 4G LTE mode'. Switched on VoltE and problem came up again. So until Lenovo sorts it, DISABLE VoltE. No issues from last 10 days. Phone Reset is optional.

2. Else install 2Jun2018 Oreo patch update. No issues frm last 72hrs with VoltE enabled.

Lenovo started giving patch update as of 2 June 2018. You can download it and try as well.

Its been 72 hours and i have no heat, charge or hanging problems. Have enabled VoltE also.

3. Still issue is there, then Off VoltE. U will know the difference.

Tip: Turn ON VoltE only wen u make 4Gvideo calls.  Anyways try enable and disabling VoltE you will know the difference.

You can download your sim operator app like Jio app etc. to make video calls in 4G without switching ON VoltE.

Heating is common as VoltE is quite battery consuming, just make sure the heating is not beyond 40°Celsius. Basically the heating should not be too noticeable compared to your previous mobile usage experience. In case you have never experienced such heating, then take it to service centre at first.

How SEO Can Benefit Your Online Business – to the point

When was the last time you visited a web page by typing its URL in the address bar? In most cases even if we are aware of the URL we simply go to our friendly neighborhood search engine and enter the website’s name.



However, once the initial e-mail checking, facebook chatting and twitter tweeting is done, what do you do? We look out for a website of our favourite movie review, or catch up on the latest news and so on.

How do we do this? Do we remember the URL of the websites we browse? No, in such cases we just type the content what we are looking for in the name of say – latest news, movie reviews etc.



Just when you thought you got your mouse on the website you were looking for – guess what? You are wrong? The search results would give you a range of websites from movie reviews, movie downloads, movie database etc.

So, how do you ensure that your website on movie reviews invariably comes up in the search engine results? Simple, it’s called SEO. In short what the SEO does to your website is to ensure that when a user types in a query ‘movie reviews’, ‘film review’ or ‘latest movie reviews’ etc your website should show up in the search results page.



With more visibility your website gets more clicks, more clicks mean you can now hope some advertisers (say movie tickets website, movie theatres, Malls etc) to PAY for showing up their ads on your webpage.

End of the day with zillions of websites being created year on year and billions of websites being created for every topic known to mankind, it only makes sense to have a good SEO strategy in place to ensure your website gets the clicks.

 

 

Key Challenges for corporate legal in managing contracts

Today if the functioning of the entire world can be summed up in one word then it would be the fine print. To be more precise, it should be mentioned in the contract. Yes, from your ancestral property to the billion dollar business that shape the way the world runs, they all come down to the fine print on the contract.



So, do we need to further establish the importance of managing such an important contract? With such a huge responsibility also comes an equally larger set of challenges for the legal eagles to manage the contract which includes everyone from the customers, to the vendors, the distributors and employees as well.

And if you thought this is just it, the corporate legal team also has to do everything from managing to modifying to executing and even to dismiss the contract. This is just the start. The real challenges actually lie ahead.

Work with the all the parties involved with the company.



Yup, of all the teams in the corporate team, the legal team just cannot shy away from responsibility. They just have to be in the thick of things. Your company might be just sourcing cabs from a logistics provider but it is the job of the corporate legal team to assist the company with preparing the contract by understanding the complete business arrangement between the company and the vendor.

Save the money



Yes, unfortunately in today’s business, organisations expect ROI even from the last straw of resource imaginable. End of the day, it’s all about which company makes more money and that’s the only way they stay afloat and possibly rule the roost as well. So, it is needless to say that the legal team managing the contract has to save the costs. The HR does, Operations does it, so you have to do it. You have to tell the company the budget you need, show the return on investment. You might have just saved the company from a big billion fraud case but if you ain’t got the invoice for fighting the case, you will end up fighting for your own job. Jokes apart, keep track of all the costs involved.

Big Data..wondering what’s that?



If you are guessing about it, chances are you are already piled with a desk full of books, rack of legal case files, rants of colleagues shouting at top of their voices about what the rule says. There is no point if you just know the law, you have to have it at your fingertips. So, talk to your CTO, tech team, or hire a third party contract management service or get the damn hardware engineer in your office at least and ask him what’s it. You’ll know what it means to have everything at your fingertips. So don’t just be legal expert in managing contracts but also be technically sound with managing contracts. The next time they need a clause in the contract, your response time should be faster than Google search engine results.

All knowledge and no application makes managing contracts boring.

In short, don’t just be a good student, once you have learnt the nuances of your contract, you should know what is the data revealing, are we going to face a crisis, are the numbers good this quarter, is the contract outdated compared to the new business performance. Don’t wait for the kill, Legal eagle should go for the kill.

 Changing times requires changing rules

The last time you spoke to your client, you realized that he is delivering the work faster, the new employee work timings have just been made flexible, and the company has just shifted to a new building. So, I am pretty sure you too moved the documents to the new office right? Vow, that’s really smart of you and then you are done. Yes, that’s it legal eagle, you are now an endangered species. Still didn’t get the joke, Jokes part, chill we’ll explain.

You never know when the tragedy strikes - it could just be a public strike at your new office in the remote island (seriously- well it could happen), or someone makes the next legal attack on the company. So make sure you don’t sit and relax and always review the contracts from time to time. Review every single contract regularly.

Don’t forget the keys

Do we further need to say what happens if someone knows your bank account details. I know what you are thinking? Stop thinking, the first thing you do now is to check if you have the top of the line security to your contracts as well. Be it on a server or the office building or at the bank safe down the alley. Make sure, nobody except under the right person and under the right circumstances can access it.

The best part - stick to the rules



If there is one department that can truly sit back and relax (he he he ..in your dreams only though) then it is the legal team managing the contracts. Yes, you don’t have to be innovative. Stick to what worked all these years, for your company, if they want, let them change as per your rules. Something’s just cannot be changed. So always stick to the terms of the contract that were critical to the success of the business all these years, off course with an open mind as well. Did we say that was easy? Yep and we are done.

Go Legal Eagle..get that contract finished...

Benefits of 3d Modeling in Architectural Presentations

3D designing is a process by which designers, engineers and modelers use a 3D modeling program to produce a 3D model of an item. The item can then be viewed and considered in the virtual 3D space before any money is spent on actually making the item.



People use this process to create a final prototype of a product without then creating any intermediate real world prototype. Designers also use 3D design for house designs or room decors that can then be easily changed for the client.

The term "3D architecture" refers to the virtual models used to visualize a building or similar structure that doesn't physically exist. Architects and engineers (as well as, increasingly, those without specialized training in design) are using these to build three-dimensional architectural models.

As suggested by the increasing number of Internet applets (small, targeted applications) for creating such models, average people are designing rooms and even entire houses and landscapes in 3D.

Although these applets don't have the tools for finely detailing a structure, they fulfill their intended purpose: to help people turn their ideas into realities.

In fact customers purchase the property based on the models alone, justifying the importance of creating accurate and concise 3D models, which can be rendered in the form of a tour of the unit. If done with conventional methods, architectural design and planning require many man-hours to produce useful construction documents.

To survive in today's competitive environment it is important to deliver quality outputs within demanding budget and time. Using Computer Aided Design and 3D Modeling techniques you can save abundance time and efforts while generating useful 2D drawings and 3D models to satisfy your construction documentation and promotion needs.



Benefits of Architectural 3D modeling include:

• 
  
  
  
  • Check for errors that might occur in the drawing process
  
  
  • Better visualization for all types of buildings
  
  
  • Better insight to surface patterns of Kitchen, Bathrooms, Offices, etc
  
  
  • Generate architectural walkthroughs & virtual tours
  
  
  • Efficient marketing and promotional tools for advertising
  
  
  • Renderings with Custom interior or furniture
  
  
  • Minimum errors/revisions in Design and RFIs
  
  
  • Improved coordination among architects, engineers and contractor
  
  
  • Optimum use of materials
  
  
  • Lower project costs
  
  
  
  

In the present globalization modern building requires fabulous interior and exterior looks. projects of interior and exterior decoration are heavily depend upon the most popular technology architectural 3D modeling and 3D rendering that can be supplied by the contractor or builders to professional architectural firms.

These details allow you to view your future building before it is built and also help to make cost estimation. Using 3D modeling and 3D rendering you can get exact idea about your all building components.

In Last many years 3D modeling and 3D rendering have got significant growth in the Architectural industry due to need of faster infrastructure development.

So both techniques are become most popular term for outsourcing. Many of architectural firms are offering exceptional solutions for 3D modeling and you are wise enough to choose proper one.

Adoption of Block Chain and its relevance in Industries

Blockchain a.k.a peer-to-peer sharing alias Torrent does it ring a bell?

Or do you still feel the block to not adopt it. Well, then here is our deep down
take on the Block Chain usecases and so if you are a CTO, CXO or CIO
sit tight, block yourself for the next few minutes and hopefully you
will be happy to join the chain.

Blockchain is nothing but similar to your torrent technology a.k.a
peer-to-peer technology where any kind of data is transmitted, stored,
and transferred globally on thousands of servers.

Anyone on the torrent bandwagon can see everyone's data in real-time. The best part is no one entity can gain control of or game the network. So what is the gain in it?

Banking, remittance, hosting, insurance and healthcare. Blockchains
are being put to a wide variety of uses in several industries.

Blockchain for Banking and Remittance

Why is Blockchain making so much noice? Simply because that is where
the money lies. With Blockchain anyone can send money to anyone, anytime.

Blockchain does away with third parties; in other words, a fund bank  or government a blockchain needs no backer, and that means no fees.

Agreed, banks need to ensure the safety of the transaction
but isn't a bank running because of our money.

Aren't banks actually supposed to provide us these services with any hassles,
do away with limits on the time, amount and transfer fees etc.

Blockchain in insurance

Insurance in itself has permanently changed the way the entire world
functions. Over the past few decades, it is only due to insurance that
a small business can think of becoming a multi-trillion-dollar global
business and many have in fact flourished, only thanks to the
insurance companies assurance.

However, the industry in many ways, is still stuck in the past.

Inspite of online platforms and easy ways to buy a policy till date
the most preferred way to buy a policy is by calling your freindly
neighbhourhood agent.

This more often than not leads to paper contracts. This invariably
leads to errors and and often require human supervision.

Not to forget that the whole process itself involves
consumers, brokers, insurers and reinsurers, as well as insurance’s
main product — risk. With blockchain and insurance in tandem things
can now be moved to ledger on a  blockchain.

This means that we now have encrypted secured form of shared record-keeping.

This prevents potential point of failure in the overall system, no more loss of
information, lost policies, policies misinterpreted, and settlement
times delayed.

Blockchain for healthcare

Blockchain can also be a one stop platform for all the parties to add,
exchange data such as a patient's electronic healthcare record, in
real time.

Due to its inherent encryption, the technology itself acts
as a verification tool, ensuring only your medical practioner,
insurance provider or you can access the ledger a.ka. your policy.

The initial step of digitizing health data holds great promise for it
not only enables easy access to data, but on a large scale it is now
possible to monitor the health of an entire population over a
unimaginable scale.

Not to forget the lower cost of blockchain for secure patient
data exchange, including sensitive electronic medical records.

Blockchain for hosting

Blockchain has the potential to touch every industry and the it was
only time before the world wide web itself became its victim or should
we say benefactor? While the debate is on let us see, what it does for
hosting?

If the internet you are using is free then it was only matter of time
that the world wide web or website you are visiting, browsing or want
to host itself became free of cost. Yes, still not convinced, then
check for docs.ens.domains [http://docs.ens.domains/en/latest/] which
is hosted on the ethereum blockchain. It uses ENS, Ethereum Name
Service, to build the DNS service.  Though the hosting is still in its
nascent stages, it makes a good case for for hosting.

Let’s take an example.

• If you have deployed an ENS registry for your
  domain, “www.bestashok.com” at the address 0x55555555.


• Name the server -
  for your “www.bestashok.com” to “55555555.ns1.ens.domans.”


• Now look:
  for your “www.bestashok.com” will trigger fetch:
  “www.bestashok.com NS 55555555.ns1.ens.domains”.
