H5X SUV officially announced named Tata Harrier

'Tata Harrier'  has formally announced by Tata Motors  - the highly anticipated production-spec H5X SUV has been named.

If you are following the development closely, you will know that H5X was internally known as 'Harrier', after sticking to the car manufacturer's pattern to codify his model after the birds Were. This time, however, Tata Motors has moved one step further and Harrier has been finalized as the name of H5X market.

]] Interestingly, the five-seat version of the Harrier SUV will be named. A seven-seat version that will come later, will get a different name. Hirer will be launched in January 2019 with a Fiat-Source 2.0 liter diesel engine. If you are thinking that you've heard Harrier's name in the past, then that's because Toyota retains mid-size SUVs in the global markets with the same name. However, the same name in India will hardly be an issue because Toyota Harrier has not been sold here.

]] Tata Motors is also working on preparing its sales network in the construction of the Harrier launch. It is also understood that the customer will be for a rich experience as the company is ready to give a premium change to its dealership, in particular with the possibility of the area designed to show Harrier and other future premium models. . Hirer launched its amazing concept H5X in Auto Expo earlier this year. The sketch of the production version suggests that the car will remain quite true for the concept and this model will maintain high-set LED headlights. Other stylist elements include a new, more defined interpretation of Tata's trademark 'Humanity Line', which combines headlights and grills. Read the full article

What is Web hosting, Why Web hosting and How Web hosting

Web Hosting is the business of housing, serving, and maintaining files for one or more Web sites.

Generally we can say simple that the Hosting means - store the file on the server as free or some paid plan as per server owner providers, Server owner provider known as the Hosting Provider . ]] Typically, an individual business hosting its own site would require a similar connection and it would be expensive. Using a hosting service lets many companies share the cost of a fast Internet connection for serving files. Some Time Hosting Provider made own server and website with the own domain name, and give the hosting space to another on their own domain name server.. that known the Web Hosting Free , and there is no any charges monthly or Yearly there. Hosting Provider located in many country like USA, India, Canada.. etc. They are doing online Business as Hosting providers.  Web Hosting India many Companies are providing the Hosting dedicated server as cheap price/cost for people who really want online their own web sites.

What is Cloud Computing and how it works..!

Cloud computing makes computer system resources, especially storage and computing power, available on demand without direct active management by the user. The term is generally used to describe data centers available to many users over the Internet. Clouds may be limited to a single organization (enterprise clouds,) be available to many organizations (public cloud,) or a combination of both (hybrid cloud.)   Cloud computing Architecture:

]] The cloud architecture, the systems architecture of the software systems involved in the delivery of cloud computing, generally involves multiple components of the cloud that communicate with each other through a loose coupling mechanism, such as a messaging queue . Elastic provision implies intelligence in the use of a tight or loose coupling when applied to mechanisms such as these and others. Cloud engineering: Cloud engineering is the application of engineering disciplines to cloud computing. It brings a systematic approach to the concerns of high level of commercialization, standardization and governance in the conception, development, operation and maintenance of cloud computing systems. It is a multidisciplinary method that includes contributions from diverse areas such as systems, software, web, performance, information technology engineering, security, platform, risk and quality engineering.   Security and privacy:

]] Cloud computing raises privacy issues because the service provider can access the data that is in the cloud at any time. It could alter or erase information, accidentally or deliberately. Many cloud providers may share information with third parties if necessary for law and order purposes without a court order. This is allowed in their privacy policies, which users must accept before they start using cloud services. Solutions for privacy include policies and legislation, as well as end-user options on how data is stored. Users can encrypt data that is processed or stored within the cloud to prevent unauthorized access.

5 Future Technology Car we can expect

Cars of the Future

Just like how phones have evolved into smartphones, perhaps cars should also take a similar route and evolve into ‘smart’ cars equipped with futuristic and (more importantly) practical features. In fact, some car manufacturers have already implemented a few of these things that we’re about to mention, but it’ll be nice to see them become standard features in all cars of the future. Here's a look at some of the cool innovations we're likely to see in the next generation of cars.  

1. Gesture Control:-

Building on the familiar existing technology of knob and voice controls, Audi, in 2011, introduced a new feature that would provide unprecendented ease in controlling a car’s functions. The new feature is called MMI touch, and is actually an enhancement for their already exisiting Audi Multi Media Interface (MMI) system.

]] The best thing about MMI touch is that it enables drivers to input characters just by using a finger to "write" on the designated touchpad. This has a wide range of applications such as keying in addresses for navigation purposes, entering phone numbers or simply selecting songs to play. MMI touch also has support for a range of languages besides English.  

2. Augmented Reality Display:-

By using an app called HUDWAY, you can place your iPhone on the dashboard of your car and navigation information (from your iPhone) will be reflected and displayed on your windscreen. It looks very cool but obviously doesn’t work under certain conditions, e.g. when the surrounding is too bright for the information to be clearly visibile on your windscreen.

    Read MORE : Accident of your car? what to do? how to deal with local auto accident lawyers        

3. Apps & Firmware Updates:-

Toyota has already introduced a concept car called Fun Vii Concept Car that can do all of the above and more. "Vii" is an acronym for Vehicle, Interactive, Internet – this concept car basically allows the driver to be constantly connected with everyone including your friends and even other automobiles. What’s more, its exterior design can even be customized as shown in this short promotional clip. While it will probably take some time before cars like Fun Vii get to production, cars with the ability to have firmware updates have already been made available on the market.

]] These firmware updates could improve certain features of the car including the radio, tire pressure, Wi-Fi connectivity, and charging capacity. Tesla Model S, a 100% electric car, is one car that has such firmware updates.  

4. Communication Between Vehicles:-

Communication between vehicles doesn’t mean you can call up the car in front of you and ask it to move out of your way. It’s more like machines communicating with each other so that there’ll be smoother traffic and less congested roads.

]] This technology will also increase road safety by reducing collisions between cars. For example, your car can warn you about a car that’s coming from your blind spot. If implemented correctly, this technology will significantly increase road safety, efficiency, and driving experience.  

5. Smart Fuel Saving Tips:-

Another cool feature to have in a ‘smart’ car is to have it give you fuel efficiency tips or notifications while you’re driving. For example, it can notify you about a nearby gas station that has cheap gas prices; so even if you still have half a tank of fuel left, it’ll suggest that you refill now to avoid paying more at another gas station when you eventually run out of fuel.

  After decades of auto technology that had evolved only marginally since the mid-20th century, experts say we’re now seeing a super-fast shift that's comparable to the industry's early days. “In the last 30 to 40 years the way cars were manufactured didn’t change much,” says Ozgur Tohumcu, CEO of the car-tech company Tantalum. “But now things are fundamentally changing — and very quickly.”

Apple’s New AirPods Pro Feature Active Noise Cancellation, Flexible Ear Tips, and More

Getting tired of your old pair of earbuds? Now’s a good time to upgrade: Apple has released an all new version of its AirPods, called AirPods Pro. With noise-cancelling tech, flexible ear tips, and more, there are plenty of features that set these wireless earbuds apart. Here’s what you need to know. The Apple Watch Series 5 Is a Smartwatch That Does It AllThe AirPods Pro continue some of the hallmarks of the original AirPods, including one-tap setup with other Apple devices, Siri voice assistant compatibility, and the all-white colorway with the charger/carrying case. It’s also powered by the same H1 audio chip. But there are plenty of new features to look out for.

]] Out of the box, one of the most obvious changes is the soft, flexible tip on each ‘bud—a first for AirPods. According to Apple, the tips are made from silicone and each earbud comes with three sizes. They’re designed to conform to the shape of the ear for a comfortable fit and create a good seal to make your playlist sound as good as it should (more on that in a bit). ## BUY AirPods at 30% OFF : CLICK HERE Already anxious about finding the right size? Don’t be—the AirPods Pro come with a software feature that uses the built-in microphones to test the quality of the seal, so you can select the tips that offer the best fit for you. The earbuds also come with a venting system to equalize pressure, so you shouldn’t get that annoying plugged-up feeling that other soft-tip earbuds sometimes have.

]] Ryan Reynolds and Will Ferrell Team Up for ‘A Christmas Carol’ Musical Movie for Apple. Here’s What We Know So FarThe AirPods Pro also come with active noise cancellation, which is great for traveling or anytime you’re trying to listen to music in a noisy area. To keep out background noise, the earbuds utilize two built-in microphones: An outward-facing mic detects external sounds. A second, inward-facing mic acts as a second defense against unwanted sounds: It listens inside the ear and helps the buds cancel out any remaining noise. That means you should get clearer audio even when you’re in a crowd or seated deep in economy class on your next flight.

]] Of course, there are also times when you still want to hear what’s going on around you. For that, Apple offers what it calls Transparency Mode, where some ambient sound is allowed into your ear—it’s ideal for running or cycling, when situational awareness is key, or when you need to hear an announcement over a PA system. You can toggle Transparency Mode using a new force sensor on the AirPods’ stem, and that same sensor can be used to control music playback, too. ## BUY AirPods at 45% OFF : CLICK HERE As for the music, the AirPods Pro come equipped with Apple’s Adaptive EQ system, which tunes the low- and mid-frequencies for your unique ear shape, and the speaker driver is designed to deliver quality bass down to 20 Hertz. Add in the Active Noise Cancellation and the close fit provided by the soft tips, and the AirPods Pro should deliver excellent sound quality overall. ]] Of course, a wireless earbud also has to have stellar battery life, too. The AirPods Pro are rated for five hours of playback on a single charge (the same as AirPods), but if you turn on Active Noise Cancellation, there’s a slight penalty: Battery life decreases to four and a half hours. The Pro version is also rated for three and a half hours if you’re, say, talking on the phone. Need to charge them up? It comes with a case that’s rated to keep the earbuds going for over 24 hours. If you’re ready to make the Pro leap, you can order the AirPods Pro online starting today, and they’ll be available in stores starting later this week. ## BUY AirPods at 33% OFF : CLICK HERE   Read the full article

The Punky Porsche SUV

Stroll into a Porsche dealership in the coming months and you’ll find that the speediest version of their largest vehicle—the Cayenne—is now a hybrid. Get behind the wheel for nine hours on the sweeping back roads of central Oregon, as I did, and you’ll discover just how far we’ve come from the idea that hybrid means “wheezy and underpowered yet thrifty.” The Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid is none of those things. It’s a well-mannered monster that uses a 100-kilowatt motor to boost its four-liter V8 engine, providing 670 horses—that’s more power than the Lambo Urus. Mash the pedal and the speed and smoothness are more akin to a bullet train than a family hauler. The idea behind this dual-drive system came from Porsche’s 918 Spyder hybrid supercar. ]] Its complex chassis-control systems are similar, too: At higher speeds, the rear axle steers up to three degrees in the same direction as the front tires, for more stable turning. Above 131 miles per hour, its air suspension automatically dips to reduce drag. For max green cred, you can switch to E Power mode and drive emission-free—up to 83 miles per hour for short stretches. The complex powertrain of the Turbo S E-Hybrid may not be for everyone, however—unless you’re really late to your kids’ soccer games. In the coming months and years, Porsche will unveil pure electric SUVs that will be far less complicated. But it remains to be seen whether they’ll be this fun behind the wheel.

Test Swim: Nike’s New Performance Vapor Goggles

As a former competitive swimmer and current swim coach, I know firsthand how quickly—and severely—a bad pair of goggles can derail an otherwise good swim. Not enough suction? You’ll be stopping at every wall to empty chlorine from your eye sockets. Straps too tight? Instant headache. Flimsy design? They could fall off your face altogether. The 5 Best Swimming Drills to Get Jacked in the PoolA solid pair of goggles, on the other hand, can transform an otherwise good swim into a great swim by providing the right balance of security and comfort that makes you forget they’re even there. We tested Nike’s new Vapor performance goggles to see if they check all the boxes.

]] amzn_assoc_ad_type ="responsive_search_widget"; amzn_assoc_tracking_id ="worlditechnol-21"; amzn_assoc_marketplace ="amazon"; amzn_assoc_region ="IN"; amzn_assoc_placement =""; amzn_assoc_search_type = "search_widget";amzn_assoc_width ="160"; amzn_assoc_height ="600"; amzn_assoc_default_search_category =""; amzn_assoc_default_search_key ="swim Goggles";amzn_assoc_theme ="light"; amzn_assoc_bg_color ="FFFFFF";

What It Is:

The Vapors are the newest goggles in Nike Swim’s collection, a product roughly two years—and multiple prototypes—in the making. They’re also the fastest pair of Nike goggles ever created, says Erika Gentry, director of Nike Swim Gear, thanks to the oversized, curved lens, which is designed to reduce drag in the water and give swimmers a wider field of vision. On top of speed, the Vapors also promise comfort with newly designed features like soft, flexible gaskets, a curved back clip, and a sliding adjustable nose bridge. Everything You Need for Your Pool Swim Workouts

Why We Like It:

]] Above all, the Vapors are actually comfortable. If it’s possible to give your eyes a hug, these goggles essentially do just that. We recently tested them at Nike’s on-campus pool in Beaverton, OR. The cushioned gaskets felt soft and still snug against my face and stayed leak-free for my entire workout. Even better, after 30-plus minutes of swimming, I exited the water without those awful-yet-all-too-common marks ringing my eyes. The straps are another big perk: With their thick, velvety texture and curved back clip (versus a traditional flat clip), they stayed firmly in place for the duration of my swim without squeezing my skull. I also dug the lens shape—though I have no idea if the drag-resistant design actually made me faster, being able to see more of the pool without turning my head was a sweet sensation.

]]

Nitpick:

During certain portions of my test swim, I noticed that the curved lens somewhat distorted my vision. The distortion wasn’t very significant or bothersome, though, and seemed to disappear after a few seconds (or perhaps I just got used to it). In fact, I’m not sure I would have picked up on this in the first place if one of the other testers hadn’t mentioned it.

Bottom Line:

These goggles are designed for performance, but in my experience, their biggest plus is comfort—and that’s something swimmers of all levels can enjoy. “My goal for anyone using a goggle is that they really can forget that it’s there,” Gentry says. With the Vapor, that goal is damn well achieved.   Read the full article

The Best Thanksgiving Dessert Recipes to Make From Scratch

For many home cooks, dessert is the final frontier. Even if you can put out a roasted turkey with skin that shines like gold foil, baking a cake can seem as mysterious as building a blockchain. And it’s true: Baking requires certain skills, such as patience and meticulousness, that cooking does not always demand. But if you can get good at one, you can get good at the other. Campfire Stonefruit Jars With Brown Sugar and Vanilla Ice CreamWe’ve developed four desserts—with an assist from the new fall cookbooks Ama: A Modern Tex-Mex Kitchen, whose biscuits crown our maple peach cobbler, and Dinner at the Club: 100 Years of Stories and Recipes from South Philly’s Palizzi Social Club, whose ricotta cheesecake is the base for a show-stopping version made with gorgonzola. ]] None of these recipes is terribly difficult. And once you master the basics, you’ll be riffing on them by New Year’s.

Blue Cheesecake with Caramelized Apples

Crust 2 cups pecans 1⁄4 cup granulated sugar 3⁄4 cup all-purpose flour 3⁄4 cup melted butter 2 egg yolks 2 pinches kosher salt Butter, for greasing ]] Directions: Heat oven to 325°F. Grind pecans in food processor into a coarse meal. Add remaining ingredients and pulse until evenly combined to make the crust. Lightly grease a 10-inch springform pan with butter. Press crust into the pan, packing it down with the end of a rolling pin to make it as flat and even as possible. Bake crust for 20 minutes until golden brown and cool completely. Wrap outside of the pan in plastic. Filling 20 oz cream cheese 12 oz Gorgonzola 15 oz ricotta 11 oz mascarpone 1⁄2 cup granulated sugar 1⁄4 tsp cornstarch 3 eggs plus 2 yolks 2 pinches kosher salt Directions: Raise oven to 350°F. Combine all ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Whip on medium-high speed for 6 minutes, scraping down sides of bowl as needed to make sure everything is well-mixed. Spread filling over the pecan crust, filling pan about 3⁄4 of the way (there may be some left over). Smooth the surface. Fill a large roasting pan with water and set cake in center; the water should go halfway up the sides of pan. Place in center rack of oven and bake for 2 1⁄2 hours until filling is fully set (a slight jiggle or no jiggle). Turn off oven and allow pie to rest in oven for 30 minutes. Crack oven door and let pie continue to rest another 20 minutes. Remove pie and put plastic wrap directly on surface. Cool overnight in refrigerator. ]] Caramelized Apples 2 tbsp butter 3 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced 1⁄2-inch thick 3⁄4 cup honey 1⁄4 cup brown sugar Pinch kosher salt 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves, plus more for serving Honeycomb, for serving Sea salt, for serving Directions: Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add apples. Saut until golden and slightly softened, about 5 minutes, then add honey and brown sugar. Bring to a boil, then immediately reduce heat to low. Cook until shiny and thick, then add salt and thyme. Unwrap the cheesecake and run a small knife or spatula around the inside of the pan to loosen. Remove outer ring of the springform pan and transfer cheesecake to a platter. Spoon caramelized apples over cheesecake. Garnish with honeycomb, thyme, and sea salt. Jack of All Trades: Why Pumpkin Is a Great Nutritional Option All Year Round

Maple Peach Cobbler

Filling 2 lbs frozen peeled peach slices 1⁄2 cup granulated sugar 1⁄2 cup maple syrup 1⁄4 tbsp vanilla extract 1⁄2 tsp cinnamon 2 tbsp all-purpose flour Whipped cream or ice cream, for serving Heat oven to 400°F. Combine ingredients except whipped cream in large mixing bowl and stir to coat. Transfer to a 2-quart baking dish and bake for 45 minutes until peaches are soft (but not falling apart) and a thick, sticky sauce has formed. Remove from oven, and cool to room temperature. Biscuits 3 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour 2 tbsp granulated sugar 2 tbsp baking powder 1 tsp fine sea salt 1 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into 1⁄4-inch pieces 3⁄4 cup heavy cream, cold 1⁄2 cup buttermilk Directions: While peaches are baking, make the biscuit dough. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in large bowl and mix. Add cold butter. Using your fingers, pinch the pieces of butter and flour together so that you get uneven shards and beads of butter. (Don’t work the butter for long.) Make a well in the middle, pour in cream and buttermilk, and stir to combine. With your fingers, fold the dry ingredients into the wet ones just until combined. The dough will be moist and crumbly; press it into a small rectangle and cover with plastic wrap. Chill. When peaches have cooled, unwrap and roll out the dough to roughly 1⁄2-inch thick. Tear off irregular pieces and place here and there over the peaches. (Rewrap and save any excess dough for future use.) Decrease oven to 350°F and bake cobbler 40 to 50 minutes, until biscuits are lightly golden on top. Serve warm or at room temperature, topped with whipped cream or ice cream.
