BMW unveils its flagship electric SUV, the BMW iX

(Nijafreetab) - BMW has unveiled its new flagship car, the anticipated BMW iNEXT, which gets the new BMW iX street name. This is a large electric SUV - or SAV as BMW calls it - promising over 300 miles of range, while introducing radically new design for the company.

In many ways, this car is an evolution of the exciting work that the BMW i3 started - there's once again a carbon cage to reduce weight - and it isn't just a repurposed version of an existing BMW car, but something that's a much bigger statement.

BMW says that the design of this car started from the inside, wanting to create an interior space that was more like a loft, minimised and free of clutter and that's seen a reduction of many of the common elements you might expect, fewer switches, greater subtlety and a concept that BMW is calling "shy tech".

The idea behind shy tech is to have advanced technological features, without them being overtly obvious. One example is the iDrive controller, the familiar click dial that BMWs have offered for well over a decade, now reduced to what looks like a cut glass decoration - but still offering interaction and touch controls. It's the same as before, but different.

6 Reasons Why People Die Young

Dying in a young age is not what everyone wish for himself or herself but this isn’t about wish it’s about choice, there are thousands of reasons why people die young but we are giving you 5 reason that need to be given attention to by government and NGOs. 1. Drugs and Alcohol 15% of the deaths of aged group were induced by drugs or alcohol. Abusing drugs and alcohol may be a rite of passage into adulthood, but it is risky. In addition to the chance of an overdose, it also greatly increases risky sexual behavior and the odds of contracting HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases. Preventing drug and alcohol abuse is the focus of many programs, both aimed at encouraging parents to discuss these issues with their kids and peers to influence each other. 2. Stress Stress is the parent to so many diseases like hypertension, stroke, etc. 3. Depression Youths and adults die everyday by being depressed on a situation or another, it either leads to breakdown of the body or suicide. 4. Bad lifestyle (Diet) So this may lead to early death in children 5. Smartphones This is common and strange, I will explain bit by bit on how mobile phones is a reason why people die young Cancer Cancer deaths account for 5% of deaths among the 15 to 24 age group. Unfortunately, there is no proven way to prevent cancer, and this percentage includes many childhood cancers that are not preventable.

5 Reasons Some Smart People Never Make It In Life (READ AND LEARN)

Toheeb is one of the smartest guys in the class back then in school. Since we graduated 2 years ago, he has been doing quite well in his career, but when he checks Instagram, he sees guys he outperformed in school who are making more money and achieving greater things than him.

Likewise, there some of his colleagues at his work place who are doing better than him. All these makes him wonder with no choice than to ask himself, “What Am I Doing Wrong”? You can relate right? You might relate to Toheeb yourself, or have a colleague or friend who struggles with the same feelings. The truth is, raw intelligence is undoubtedly a huge asset , but it is not everything. And sometimes, when intellectually gifted people don’t achieve as much as they would like to, it’s because they are indirectly under-rating themselves. If you’re in this situation, the good news is that when you understand these things that are hindering your success as an intelligent person, you can turn them around. Below Are five Things Smart People Particularly Struggle With That Is Preventing Them From Making It In Life:- 1. Smart People Don’t Value Other Skills, Like Relationship Building, And Over-concentrate On Intellect Very smart people sometimes are always over confident of their success in life because of their intellect, so they don’t see other soft skills as important. For instance, some smart people don’t always feel the need to go out clubbing or chill out, they prefer to stay indoor working or watching educative programmes forgetting that going out chilling relaxes the brain and also increases your chances of meeting people who will offer you bigger contracts. They grow up being told they’re smart, and during their schooling, academic success comes more easily to them than to others. It’s easy to understand why, as a result, they would continue to focus on their intellect as adults and other things like building strong relationships with people becomes meaningless to them. In life, you need more than raw intelligence to get ahead. And only focusing on your greatest strength, rather than also addressing your weaknesses, tends to be self-destructive. The Solution: Use your strengths to overcome your weaknesses. If you’re good at learning you can simply learn the skills that don’t come as naturally to you. Learn how to talk to people, relate with others and developing positive attitude. For instance, identify three specific workplace diplomacy behaviours that would improve your success in that area. You can be smart buy your attitude makes you smarter! 2. Teamwork Can Be Frustrating For Very Smart People Smart people grasps idea quickly and has high standards for their own performances. This makes it difficult for them when working with others who process information and grab ideas slowly. This frustration develop early in smart kids they feel other slow learners are holding them back and as a result, they have problem with team work. Some students will put it upon themselves to handle group assignments involving 10 people by themselves all because they feel they can do it all better. Smart people also sometimes find it difficult to delegate because of a sense they can do a task better (regardless of whether this is actually true.) This is especially likely for those who have a perfectionist streak. If you understand the concept of associative thinking you will know that no idea is entirely bad no matter how useless they appear. You can’t be smart in everything, some people know more than you in some situations. The Solution: Be self-compassionate about your internal reactions and understand where they come from, but also learn to genuinely appreciate what people of different minds bring to a team. 3. Smart People Often Attach A Lot Of Their Self- esteem To Being Smart, Which Can Decrease Their Hustling Spirit If a lot of your self-esteem rests on your intelligence, it can be very difficult to be in situations that threatens your smartness. Smart people always avoid taking risk that will put them situation of getting criticized and as such they are always contented the little success they are getting. Any situation that triggers feeling not- smart is experienced as highly threatening. The smart person may even seek to avoid those situations, which ultimately holds the person back. For instance, I have a secondary school mate who is a naturally gifted singer but won’t go into music because he feels the chance of making it in music in Nigeria is a low. That’s fear of failure. The Solution: Take an objective view of the benefits of working with people who are, in some respects, smarter than you. If you’re surrounding yourself with smart people, you’re doing something right. Remember, iron sharpens iron. Develop relationships with people who you trust to give you helpful constructive feedback. The more you become accustomed to receiving criticisms as feedbacks from people who believe in your overall talents and capacities, the easier it will become. 4. Smart People Get Bored Easily If you’re smart, curious, and have a love of learning , you might find yourself loosing interest quickly in anything once you’ve learnt it. This is why some people, after learning graphics design instead of focusing on it so that can be cashing out steady, they move to learning web- designs and after some months of getting bored with codes, they want to start learning video editing again. The everyday execution side of one thing might bore you, and you’d rather constantly be learning new different things. As a result, finding a niche and repeating the same formula might seem too boring or unchallenging to you as a smart person. The Solution: Instead of attempting dramatic change, decide on something related to what you’re currently into, learn it and be using it to break the boredom. For instance, if you’re a graphics designer, you can learn photography so that when you get bored designing, you can go out to take some beautiful photos, then come back to design. Additionally, make sure you’re learning across the various domains of your life, including your work, hobbies, physical fitness, understanding yourself and so on. 5. Smart People Sometimes See In-depth Thinking As The Solution To Every Problem Intelligent people are used to succeeding through their thinking skills, but in most cases overlook when a different approach would be more beneficial. For example, the smart person might attack every situation by trying to think it to death, over- researching every decision and ruminating over every mistake when other approaches geared towards coming up with solutions would be more fruitful. The Solution: Notice when you’re thinking too much. Consider when strategies other than thinking are more likely to result in success. Experiment with taking breaks to get unstuck, and allow yourself to learn by doing something instead of exhaustive advance research. Expand your range of skills for getting solutions so that you’re not the person who sees every problem as a nail because their only tool is a hammer. If you can relate to any of the points above, do not judge yourself or feel shameful about it, know that you can turn them around by the tactical and practical solutions we have highlighted. Which Of The 5 Points Can You Relate With The Most? Feel free to share as we will be replying all comments to help you further.
