By -






The Hexawheel concept is a design study of an extreme off-road vehicle which combines a six-wheels layout and a flexible frame with a Mercedes-Benz-inspired design language. It was designed by Iranian engineer Siyamak Rouhi Dehkordi.

Created by Iranian mechanical engineer Siyamak Rouhi Dehkordi, the Hexawheel Concept is an extreme three-seater off-roader targeted to adventurous customers and people who need to move in extremely diffficult conditions and terrains.

Inspired by the jointed structure of insects, the Hexawheel is capable of overcoming large obstacles thanks to its flexible frame, which is combined with a six-wheels layout and an all-wheel-drive system.

The frame has two degrees of freedom and is operated with a hydraulic system; the diesel engine is coupled with a flexible hydraulic power transmission system.

Th main dimensions are a total length of 4.8 meters, two equal wheelbases of 0.95 meters and a ground clearance of 46 cm, while the weight is equally distributed among the three axles.

The exterior design uses angular shapes and an industrial look, interpreted for the Mercedes-Benz brand.

Bates Motel Season 1 Episode 1 review

Just Special!!!! Did we ever in our wildest dreams believe that we would get to see Norman Bates in his formative years and the crucial role his mother would play to nurture him into the guy, who would'nt even hurt a fly. Bates Motel Pilot Episode is the best first episode for a TV series I have ever seen for a long time. It was a scorcher par excellence. It started slow and steady, but by no means boring. I felt it would be one of those pilots, where you would get to know the characters and then just a simple eerie ominous end. In certain ways that happened, but with a yank-up tempo incident in the middle, which just clotheslined me outside the ring and thats what made The Bates Motel so incredibly insanely captivating. The whole concept is so scary, because we are watching before our eyes, how a good innocent boy is transforming into a pyscholgically demented man through no fault of his, but just circumstances and an over-possessive woman, who identifies her son as the perfect h…

GMR has been doing very badly in the past 6 months and at this point in time I feel it makes most sense to exit this counter and head for greener pastures. If I would like to reinvest in the same industry I feel Unitech, Lanco & JP Assoc seems like the best options respectively. As per the below diagram the we can see that Unitech is currently trading at about a Rupee less than GMR but at the same time has made 55 times more profit that the later.

BOND AGAINST AL QAEDA/TALIBAN

Isn't it high time James Bond took on Taliban and the Al Qaeda. We are sick and tired of him going against clinched villains and long leggy lasses. Daniel Craig gives a really hard edge to Bond and I think he can pull it off. He can try rescuing a hostage from the Al Qaeda or foil some devious plan of theirs. It would make for an awesome movie and for a change we would be treated to something different. Why does the movie industry shy away from a project like this. Are they scared? Its very important for our times that Bond takes on some terrorists, which has some sort of hard hitting reality infused in it.
We have so many scenarios to explore. Diffuse a bomb in India, save a hostage from Taliban, prevent a nuclear attack on America.  Bond would even have a plethora of situations to show his emotion, barring his usual crybaby mode for women, who slink into his shoulders.  Bond needs to address real life problems.Skyfall has re-invented him. Now we need…
