In New York, a Mercedes-Benz hat trick

As happens each year at the New
York auto show – considered the
final event of the motor-show
season – the journalist-driven
World Car Awards announced the
winner of its 2015 World Car of the
Year, along with winners in the
Luxury, Performance, Car Design
and Green categories.
The organisation's 75-member jury made
this a very good year for Mercedes-Benz.
The German carmaker claimed three of
the five awards, including the top prize
for the new C-Class sedan. Said
Mercedes' global communications
director Christoph Horn: "We aimed to
show with the new C-Class that in the
premium mid-sized segment, you can
have luxury that is usually at home in the
higher segments." The C-Class tipped the
Ford Mustang and Volkswagen Passat
for the win.
Mercedes also took the World Luxury
Car of the Year award, with the new S-
Class Coupe. Horn commented, "This is
something that we're extremely proud of
because the S-Class Coupe is la bella
macchina, but from Sindelfingen,
Germany."
And it was the Mercedes-AMG GT that
roared off with the World Performance
Car trophy. Rob Moran from Mercedes-
Benz USA said: "We're proud of our
AMG team for this, the second clean-
sheet sports car design we've delivered.
Also, we kind of think of our cars as our
kids, so as parents, we're proud of them
when they do well."
Winning the World Car Design of the
Year, the Citroën C4 Cactus continued its
global roll, having just won the
Production Car of the Year award from
the UK-based Car Design News.
The World Green Car trophy was
awarded to the BMW i8. Ian Robertson
of the BMW's Management Board said:
"This is not only a sports car for the
future, but it pioneers new materials.
Plus, it's a fully connected car."
The new auto-show season kicks off in
September with the Frankfurt motor
show.

Floyd Mayweather Baby Mama Sues for $20 Mil ... He's a Despicable Liar

Floyd Mayweather could lose tens of millions of dollars from his big payday if his baby mama gets her way ... because she's just filed a lawsuit claiming he ruined her with lies to save his own ass. Josie Harris, who has 3 kids with Floyd, claims he lied through his teeth in an interview with Katie Couric just 2 weeks before the big fight ... when he claimed Josie was in a drug-fueled rage and he had to "restrain" her during their infamous 2010 domestic violence incident. Point of fact ... Floyd was convicted of domestic violence and spent two months in jail. Josie recounts her terror in the lawsuit, explaining how she and Floyd had broken up ... but he flew into a jealous rage that night, broke into her home and viciously attacked her while she was sleeping on her couch ... and her kids saw part of the beating. Harris says she is now labeled a drug addict thanks to Mayweather's lies -- and was embarrassed and humiliated on a global scale. Her lawyer, Dan Friedl...

Google Authenticator, a formidable layer of protection to your account.

Google Authenticator is a free security app that can protect your accounts against password theft. It's easy to set up and can be used in a process called two-factor authentication (2FA) offered on popular social media services like Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. The app ( iOS / Android ) generates a random code used to verify your identity when you're logging into various services. The code can technically be sent to your phone via text message every time— but the Google Authenticator app provides an extra level of security. SMS-based 2FA has a known security flaw , and any devoted hacker can attempt to socially engineer an attack against your phone company. The Google Authenticator app eliminates the possibility of an SMS-based attack using algorithms to generate the codes on your phone. Here's how to set it up: 1. Download Google Authenticator from either the Apple App Store or the Android Google Play store. It's free. 2. Nex...

Are You Treating Your Kids Like Your Career?

And, we see this all the time. Hey,listen I've heard evidence of this phenomenon at the hairdresser, nail salon, at high school softball games, or at the grocery store. Mothers move in closer to each other and start to talk to one other very seriously and very competitively about their kids' achievements, successes, activities but certainly not about their disappointments, feelings, or emotional concerns. Nope, those topics are reserved for the night when those parents are alone with both the darkness of the night and their concerns. Now these are kids they are talking about, not careers. I'll tell you though that it sounds a whole lot like they are talking about jobs and job advancement. And, these kids who are their current careers, in my opinion, are at risk to become highly anxious and stressed as they struggle not to let their parents down. Don't kid yourself parents — your kids are desperately afraid of failing you. Want to figure out if your child has beco...
