_new-lancia-ypsilon-well-being-and-driving-pleasure-for-absolute-premiumness.webp "The New Lancia Ypsilon is a smart city car that stands out in the urban environment for its ease of driving and handling: agile in the city but also lots of fun on the twists and turns on a hill. To pass this test, Lancia based its work on the multienergy Common Modular Platform (CMP), a segment-leading modular facility perfect for both full-electric motors and hybrid engines. The design and production team has worked to obtain a car that is agile, dynamic, can maintain remarkable grip and stability on the road, and is at the same time equipped with great comfort, guaranteeing a level of absolute premiumness.<br/>Work has focused on four main areas: onboard well-being, sound quality, production quality, and driving pleasure. In terms of onboard well-being, a specific soundproofing package has been developed to create a relaxing and soundproof environment, regardless of road surface conditions and the car’s speed. A specific set of gaskets has also been developed for the doors, to improve the sound quality when they are closed, as well as a new design for the handles to convey a tangible and extensive feeling of robustness. As for production quality, investment has been made in staff training, dedicated equipment and processes, to achieve a level of competition typical of a premium brand and to guarantee the end customer the best quality currently available on the market.<br/>In addition to these interventions, attention has been paid to driving pleasure: the team has widened the wheel track by 24 mm, to ensure better weight distribution and handling for the new model. The steering system has also been calibrated for the utmost driving precision; last but not least, work has been done to obtain a specific setup for the suspension, more dynamic but never too stiff.")

Shailesh Rialch, a dedicated and valiant officer, served with his Workshop Company as part of an Infantry Brigade in South Kashmir during a period of heightened insurgency. On the night of November 23, 1999, upon receiving intelligence about terrorists in a village, Shailesh volunteered for a Cordon and Search Operation. Displaying extraordinary bravery, he prevented a terrorist from breaking the cordon and escaping on the morning of November 24. In the ensuing gunfight, Shailesh was mortally wounded, making the ultimate sacrifice for his country. For his exceptional courage, he was posthumously awarded the Sena Medal. Remembered fondly as 'Rambo' by his comrades from the 91st Course of the National Defence Academy, Shailesh was known for his cheerful disposition, his ability to lift spirits, and his unwavering dedication. His legacy of bravery and kindness lives on in the hearts of those who knew him. <br/> <br/> <br/>#KargilChronicles #CaptShaileshRialch #KargilHero #KargilDiwas #KargilDiwas2024 #IndianArmy #SenaMedal #KargilWar #HeroicSacrifice #Bravery #Patriotism #IndianDefence #KargilVijayDiwas #NationalDefenceAcademy #RememberingOurHeroes<br/>~HT.178~PR.152~GR.125~")
_how-much-do-americans-plan-to-spend-to-get-their-yards-party-ready.webp "Is your yard ready for summer entertaining? <br/><br/>A new survey polling 2,000 U.S. adults with backyards found that 81% would look forward to hosting parties in their backyard, but 14% admitted that they would need some time to prepare given the current state of their space.<br/><br/>According to respondents, 34% would have to improve their backyards before hosting, spending seven hours weekly and up to $1,400 to get their yards guest ready.<br/><br/>The survey, commissioned by Big Lots and conducted by Talker Research, revealed just how many Americans are looking forward to hosting a backyard soiree this year and what many feel they need to do to be best prepared. <br/><br/>Proper patio furniture (57%) was respondents’ most sought-after improvement, followed by sprucing up their existing patio furniture (39%), setting up bug repellants (37%) and installing lights (36%).<br/><br/>Hosting these get togethers can add up though, so budget is important to keep in mind. The average person felt they could host a party for as low as $190, with four in five (82%) saying it’s important to them that they stick to their budget if they plan on getting any new patio furniture or other improvements ahead of an event.<br/><br/>“Sprucing up the backyard is more than a simple task, it’s an investment in creating memories with loved ones that will last a lifetime,” said Shelly Trosclair, SVP Merchandising at Big Lots. \")
