Audi E Tron Spyder

The Audi e-tron Spyder is being dubbed as a diesel-electric roadster, a pairing of active descriptors that further prove the advancement in automotive ingenuity. At first glance this may appear like merely a roofless, R8-based all-electric e-tron that was unveiled in Frankfurt in 2009.  Rather, this is a longer and wider inclination that still features the plug-in diesel-electric powertrain.The 69-cell lithium-ion battery pack is good for 9.1-kilowatt hours, weighs around 220 pounds and is situated up front together with the electric motors.

What does it mean to be human?

The search for meaning in one’s life is one of the most complex and scariest questions that an able-minded human can approach. It is a humbling quest for self-examination and introspection at a level that only mature minds can handle. It is, however, a responsibility that consciousness has bestowed upon us.

Apathy has struck Western civilization’s quest to fulfill this responsibility. We see it in our bodies. We see it in our minds. We see it in our love. Individuals have no inherent responsibility towards their world, because they do not understand their own place within it. This is due in part to our individual duties as humans being disregarded for things like materialism and other empty quests that can never be truly fulfilled. We have stopped looking for who we are and should be, because we are too busy thinking about who we would like to be.

As a species, we have the biological responsibility to reproduce and continue the circle of life. No other species on Earth has ever had the cognitive ability to realize this fact, apart from a base instinct hidden within them over billions of years. Consciousness is one of the greatest gifts of evolution. It has allowed us not only become the reigning species on our beautiful planet, but more importantly to realize that we are actually at the helm.

To compare, let’s imagine being a dinosaur on top of the food chain. Apart from the instinct to eat and to reproduce, life for a dinosaur was most likely an empty pursuit for the next day. They lacked the “je ne sais quoi” that allowed consciousness to wake up within our minds, a uniquely human attribute that elevates us within cosmic kingdom.

Coincidentally, we are the only species to have developed a belief in a higher power. This was an important gap-filler as we did not (and still don’t really) understand how that consciousness awoke. Even today, many individuals get highly defensive when this evolutionary blanket is called out for exactly what it is.

That, in and of itself, is not worthy of scorn. The great Space Priests like Carl Sagan understood that scorning this was not the way to improve our species. The key is through education and exploration of our own consciousness.

Unfortunately, although we are in a time of great technological advancement, our spiritual endeavours have been blockaded by the apathy that has struck the late 20th and early 21st centuries. This is but a bump in the great development of one of the most beautiful stories in the universe. The story of humans. Our story. Your story.

We face many challenges today, from the obvious physical problems related to obesity due to a number of environmental factors for which humans were not ready, to hate and violence by a number of extremists around the world who are not comfortable with where the global consciousness is going.

Being human means to accept that we live within this reality. Our minds are a product of biology, also within this reality, and ultimately the entire story of how we ended up here will be mapped. It is the responsibility of today’s philosophers to help people understand why we are special in the universe. Religion gives humans a special place within the cosmos, and it is true. We are special. However, it should be our quest to find out why we are special.

To accept stories that are millennia of years old contain the ultimate answers to life, the universe and everything, is disingenuous to the work of every human that has helped us arrive where we are today. It is our responsibility, as humans, to continue the search for our tiny place within the never-ending cosmos that surrounds us.

That is what it means to be human. The search for meaning in our own lives, and the lives of everyone who surrounds us is the most important spiritual endeavour that humans must undertake to achieve self-actualization. Petty fights and shiny things are a product of our imperfections.

Humans are not perfect creatures. This is the root of the quest for meaning, as it gives us direction for how to improve. Of course, the top of the perfection pyramid is something we will never reach. However, it is possible to aim as high as the best human you can imagine.

The twenty first century is seeing a revival of the spiritual awakening that slowed down during the era of two massive world wars. Again, these were the product of our imperfections and a chain of unfortunate events. But this randomness, although it can lead to terrible evil, has led to where we are today. The amazing heights that humanity increases daily are also a product of this wonderful randomness in our universe.

Even though we don’t quite know yet how come our minds woke up, or how abiogenesis happened, it is part of our responsibility as a product of this randomness to find out. Historical texts like the Bible are important parts of the story of humanity. However, we must continue to write our story and cannot allow the apathy that has crawled all around us to stop us in our tracks.

We are writing this story now. Everyone is part of it. What role do you want to play?

TRUE LOVE ..(A Doctor's note)

It was approximately 8.30 a.m. on a busy morning when an elderly gentleman in his eighties arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He stated that he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9.00 a.m.

I took his vital signs and had him take a seat. I knew it would take more than an hour before someone would to able to attend to him. I saw him check his watch anxi...ously for the time and decided to evaluate his wound since I was not busy with another patient.

On examination, the wound was well healed. Hence, I talked to one of the doctors to get the supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound.

We began to engage in a conversation while I was taking care of his wound. I asked him if he had another doctor's appointment later as he was in such a hurry. The gentleman told me no and said that he needed to go to the nursing home to have breakfast with his wife.

I inquired about her health. He told me that she had been in the nursing home for a while as she was a victim of Alzheimer's disease. I probed further and asked if she would be upset if he was slightly late. He replied that she no longer knew who he was and she had not been able to recognize him since five years ago.
I asked him in surprise, "And you still go every morning, even though she doesn't know who you are?"
He smiled as he patted my hand and said, "She doesn't know me, but I still know who she is."

I had to hold back my tears as he left.
I had goose bumps on my arm, and I thought, "That is the kind of love I want in my life."

True love is neither physical nor romantic. True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be.Collapse this post..Must Read n share :)

World's Largest Liger (Lion+Tiger)

you Know what's a Liger? It's a cross breed of a male Lion and female Tiger
10ft Liger who's still growing... He looks like something from a prehistoric age or a fantastic creation from Hollywood . But Hercules is very much living flesh and blood - as he proves every time he opens his gigantic mouth to roar. Part lion, part tiger, he is not just a big cat but a huge one, standing 10ft tall on his back legs. Called a liger, in reference to his crossbreed parentage, he is the largest of all the cat species. On a typical day he will devour 20lb of meat, usually beef or chicken, and is capable of eating 100lb at a single setting. At just three years old, Hercules already weighs half a ton.
He is the accidental result of two enormous big cats living close together at the Institute of Greatly Endangered and Rare Species, in Miami, Florida , and already dwarfs both his parents. "Ligers are not something we planned on having," said institute owner Dr Bhagavan Antle. "We have lions and tigers living together in large enclosures and at first we had no idea how well one of the lion boys was getting along with a tiger girl, then loo and behold we had a liger."
50mph runner... Not only that, but he likes to swim, a feat unheard of among water-fearing lions. In the wild it is virtually impossible for lions and tigers to mate. Not only are they enemies likely to kill one another, but most lions are in Africa and most tigers in Asia . But incredible though he is, Hercules is not unique. Ligers have been bred in captivity, deliberately and accidentally,since shortly before World War II.
Today there are believed to be a handful of ligers around the world and a similar number of tigons, the product of a tiger father and lion mother. Tigons are smaller than ligers and take on more physical characteristics of the tiger.

BMW Vision ConnectedDrive

A concept vehicle created for furnishing occupants with a highly sensual driving experience, the BMW Vision ConnectedDrive promotes a heavily intuitive electronic connection to the world. For the driver, the BMW Vision ConnectedDrive avails an advanced heads-up display that can be programmed with a rich assortment of driving data.

There may have been a lot of buzz over V12 powered supercars and the next best thing to break 200mph on an average road, but BMW has gone a different route. The BMW Vision ConnectedDrive has made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show and is showcasing all of the technology BMW has been developing and will be integrating into future cars. Just by looking at this concept it is easy to tell that it will
never make it to production in this form, but many of the technologies and ideas found within could be coming out sooner than you think.

Official BMW representatives said: "In 2011 the automobile industry is celebrating the anniversary "125 yeas of the automobile," reason enough to not only look back, but also to look forward. Connectivity is one of the key fields of tomorrow’s world. And of course, we at BMW are proud to be among the pioneers of connected driving: for example, with the first on-board internet access in 2008, the first iPod integration in 2004, or the first ultrasound-based park distance control PDC in 1991."

"2011 is also the year in which we are setting course for the future. Initial insights are already available to you now in the Future Lab from BMW Vision ConnectedDrive. Or soon right here, with an extraordinary vehicle concept, which will once again revolutionize driving in terms of comfort, infotainment and safety. Exactly as you have come to expect from BMW."

BMW’s leadership and constant technology contest with Mercedes-Benz has led them to develop some of the best and most intuitive systems in production cars today. This concept shows how the future may render itself in the automotive realm. In a world where your car is as good or better than your office at getting things done – this is place where the ConnectDrive lives.
