_the-new-bmw-530e-touring-driving-video.webp "For almost 50 years now, the BMW 3 Series has represented the core of the BMW brand. It epitomises sporty driving pleasure in the premium midsize class and has made significant contributions to design, driving dynamics and technological innovations in this segment time and again across what is now seven model generations. The character of the current-generation BMW 3 Series has likewise provided a case study in unwavering progress at work. The extensive revisions already introduced for model year 2022 in the areas of design, powertrain, digitalisation and equipment will now be followed up with a fresh package of updates that take the cars’ visual appeal and cutting-edge modernity to new levels. New high-voltage batteries increase the electric range of the plug-in-hybrid models to a maximum 101 kilometres (63 miles) in the WLTP cycle. New chassis tuning further enhances the balance between sporting potency and comfort. And when it comes to digitalisation in the new BMW 3 Series Sedan and new BMW 3 Series Touring, BMW Operating System 8.5 provides the basis for extremely intuitive and comfortable operation – via the upgraded BMW iDrive with QuickSelect – and for extended navigation functions including Augmented View.<br/><br/>These new technological advances are accompanied by precise design modifications for the exterior and interior. New exterior paint finishes and light-alloy wheels accentuate the aura of sporting elegance radiated by the Sedan and Touring. In the interior, the newly designed steering wheels and instrument panel, plus sophisticated equipment features such as the CraftedClarity glass applications, deliver driving pleasure in an ambience of premium modernity.<br/><br/>The new BMW 3 Series Sedan and new BMW 3 Series Touring will be launched worldwide with a production phase-in in July 2024. Both models will be built at BMW Group Plant Munich. The BMW 3 Series Sedan will also be produced at BMW Group Plant San Luis Potosí in Mexico. The new BMW 3 Series Sedan for the Chinese market will be produced at the Tiexi plant in Shenyang operated by the joint venture BMW Brilliance Automotive (BBA).")

_why-getting-an-h-1b-visa-is-tricky-and-whats-changing-in-future.webp "Why Getting an H-1B Visa is Tricky and What’s Changing in Future<br/>The H-1B lottery registration window and selections are fast approaching. H-1B selections are by chance, but last year’s success rate was particularly hard. We will talk about why in a minute — since then, some changes have been made by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to “improve” the process ahead of the 2024 selections.<br/><br/>A Quick H-1B Recap<br/>H-1B is an employer-sponsored visa that allows a person who is not a citizen or permanent resident of the U.S. to work in a “specialty occupation” for up to six (6) years. It is a non-immigrant visa category in the United States that allows U.S. employers to temporarily employ foreign workers in “specialized occupations.” It is one of the most popular/sought-after visas for foreign professionals dreaming or planning to work in the U.S. The demand, stringent requirements, and a limited annual cap make it difficult to obtain. As we approach March 2024, changes have been created by USCIS, reshaping the process for prospective visa applicants.<br/><br/>Why the 2023 Selection Was More Difficult<br/>The H-1B Lottery<br/>If you are unfamiliar with this process, you might think after a person submits and files their petition, they get an H-1B visa, but that is not the case. Getting selected for an H1-B visa is a lottery (literally). There is an annual cap, and only 85,000 people are selected annually. This 85,000 is a general quota of 65,000 and 20,000 visas for foreign nationals with an advanced degree. The selection difficulty?<br/><br/>Multiple Registrations<br/>Multiple registrations are among the biggest reasons the 2023 selection (FY 2024) was more difficult. It is not illegal during the H-1B visa process for one worker to have multiple submissions/registrations, i.e., if I got a job at company X, they could file an H-1B petition for me. Company J could also do the same if I received an offer from them. Some workers have more than 2 registrations (to improve their chances of getting selected for the visa.) In FY 2021 (2020), out of 269,424 total eligible registrations, 241,299 were eligible for beneficiaries with no other eligible registrations, while 28,125 were for those with multiple registrations, resulting in 124,415 selections.<br/><br/>So, two things are happening here: the number of eligible workers petitioning for a visa increases yearly, which already reduces the probability of success, and then a fraction of those workers proceed with multiple registrations, further reducing the likelihood of success/selections.<br/><br/>Similar trends exist in FY 2022 and 2023 (2021 & 2022). Looking at last year’s data (FY 2024 = 2023), the H-1B visa landscape is marked by a substantial surge in total registrations, reaching 780,884 — an increase of 61%. Notably, 350,103 registrations are eligible for beneficiaries with no other eligible registrations, while 408,891 are for those with multiple registrations. However, the selections have decreased to 110,791.")

And it’s not “just a signature”, but the union of performance and innovation, fun and sustainability. It is placed higher up and, together with the headlights and the grille, gives the car a look that tells you that nuts-and-bolts mean business.<br/>In addition to those, a new electrified Scorpion signature logo resides on the side of the car, next to the door, to alert drivers that they are entering a new electric world.<br/>On the exterior of the New 500e several design elements make it unique and eye-catching, starting from the new dedicated front bumper which makes the car even bolder and more aggressive as it takes inspiration from the past but also provides an even more thrilling driving experience.<br/><br/>The 17\")

_new-mercedes-benz-g-550-design-preview-in-twilight-blue-metallic.webp "With the all-new Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ Technology, the brand with the three-pointed star presents the first fully electric variant of its off-road icon. It symbolises the fusion of tradition and progress like no other. The all-new electric G-Class remains true to the model’s character, retaining its angular silhouette including all iconic elements. Like the conventionally powered variants, its body is built on a ladder frame. The development team has modified and reinforced this to integrate the electric drive. Also retained is the combination of independent front suspension with double wishbones and newly developed rigid rear axle. The high-voltage lithium-ion battery integrated into the ladder frame ensures a low centre of gravity. With its usable capacity of 116 kWh, it provides sufficient energy for ranges of up to 473 kilometres according to WLTP.<br/>The four individually controlled electric motors located near the wheels develop a maximum total output of 432 kW. Together with the selectable LOW RANGE off-road gear reduction, they enable unique driving characteristics and exclusive functions. This allows G-TURN to turn the vehicle almost on the spot on loose or unpaved surfaces. The G-STEERING function can deliver a significantly smaller turning circle when driving off-road. The three-speed intelligent off-road crawl function is like cruise control for off-roading – maintaining optimum propulsion while the driver focuses on navigating the terrain.<br/>Like the tried-and-tested variants, the all-new Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ Technology has a gradeability of up to 100% on suitable surfaces. The vehicle remains stable on sideways slopes of up to 35 degrees. With a maximum fording depth of 850 millimetres, the electric G‑Class outperforms its conventionally powered counterparts by 150 millimetres. The LOW RANGE off-road gearing increases propulsion with a special reduction ratio. The all-new model generates the function of conventional differential locks virtually using intelligent torque vectoring. G-ROAR brings a unique sound experience to the all-new electric G-Class. In addition to a characteristic, G-Class-specific driving sound, it includes one “aura” sound and a variety of “event” sounds.")
