5 Ways to Reduce Your Fuel Costs NOW!
5 Ways to Reduce Your Fuel Costs NOW!
Every penny saved is every penny earned, they say. If you invest in smart every day practises and indulge in proper upkeep of your vehicle, you’ll be surprised at the fuel economy you can achieve. Even though you might not be able to avoid some things, such as actually combining your routine tasks so you don’t take your vehicle out multiple times, there are small measures that you can consciously adopt so you aren’t burning excess fuel – and mounting on running costs. Here’s how to optimise consumption without developing big, ambitious plans.
Avoid rush hour drives: Not only does constant clutch-brake tire you out, it takes a toll on the wellbeing of your vehicle. Every time you turn the engine on, it needs a huge amount of fuel to kick start your car. Driving in first and second gear are equally bad because it wastes a lot of fuel. In this sense, you can also bring about less wear and tear by keeping at a low but steady pace. The jerks to your car when you accelerate and halt suddenly burn excess fuel. So, if you can’t avoid going out when traffic jams are unavoidable, keep the drive slow and smooth – maintain a safe distance from the car in front so you’re covered in stop/start traffic conditions too.
Shut those windows at high speeds: The law of aerodynamics claims that every time your car witnesses the wind sound is when it’s struggling. Even though car engineers invest a lot in designing a car so it can withstand pressure, it’s possible that you might be stretching it beyond the limits. For instance, if the car feels a “drag” when running on high speeds, it’s time to roll up the windows to keep the running expense on your vehicle low.
Check the tyre pressure: Make sure that your tyre pressure is in line with what’s recommended by the manufacturer – anything lower can exert additional pressure on the car to trudge along and fuel economy can take a serious hit. It also pays to ensure that the tyres are well-aligned.
Switch gears on time: Driving your car up an inclined plane or on corners on a high gear is a sureshot recipe for fuel wastage. In an ideal scenario, switch to a higher gear much before your engine starts to labour. The key is to upgrade as soon as the car is comfortable in a higher gear without having to accelerate too much.
The aircon rule: In general, you can save up to 10% fuel when the A/C is turned off. This, however, changes if the car is driving at more than 80kmph. Rolling the windows down at this speed will cause an aerodynamic drag and actually make it more efficient to run the car with the air-conditioning on.

Create a Paperless Office Reduce Paper Use and Increase Productivity
Create a Paperless Office Reduce Paper Use and Increase Productivity
Ask yourself — why has the concept of the paperless office received so much fanbase? For some, it brings the promise of helping to save the environment by killing fewer trees. I live in a city where plastic bags are banned in grocery stores, so I fully embrace the environmental benefits, but they really aren’t the primary driver behind the paperless office. Rather, it’s because organizations are constantly facing pressure to improve efficiencies, optimize business processes, and reduce costs.
When many organizations first began to transition from paper to electronic documents in the 1980’s, there was an initial reduction in the amount of physical paper used, but the truth is that we use more paper today than during the days of the Pet Rock. Consider these statistics:
We finally have the technology to create a paperless office - at this point its a matter of embracing the new technology and providing training and encouragement for new business practices. This will save money and time, improve the security of documents and increase customer satisfaction.When many organizations first began to transition from paper to electronic documents in the 1980’s, there was an initial reduction in the amount of physical paper used, but the truth is that we use more paper today than during the days of the Pet Rock. Consider these statistics:
- - Each day, one billion photocopies are made (Source: Forrester Research)
- - The annual growth rate for the amount of paper produced by the average company is 25%. (Source: Gartner)
As Businesses are evolving, the demand for document management solutions accelerates, developing from the need for more accessibility to information. Enterprises capable of delivering cost and time effective solutions thereby will emerge as the survivors of the race. DigiDocs based on the concept of EARTH- Eco-friendly Application of Resources and Technology for Humans, facilitates the entire replacement of traditional paper documents and files in offices.
Retrieving information and data is one of the most imperative parts of any process operation. This involves facets such as time, accuracy as well as integrity of records and information, affecting the whole process in terms of resource, labour and money. DigiDocs is built on Google’s Tesseract technology, which possesses superior OCR tool and image detection capabilities .With its Linux core and PHP front end, DigiDocs has no perimeter in its scalability and customization. These features synergize effectiveness and efficiency of supporting services across organizations, thereby providing extensive tools and techniques for data retrieval too.
Speaking about the evolution of the concept, Pratik Jhaveri, CEO- Ksmart group said, "Back in 2003-2004, the US government came out with a law for all the hospitals and medical entities to keep only electronic medical records for their patients. With this there was a demand for digitization for storage of documents. Looking at this demand we developed the software that could store any medical paperwork and retrieve them according to the doctor or the patient while decreasing the human intervention significantly during the scanning or the entry process. Hence, DigiDocs evolved.”
Key features-DigiDocs:
- - Saves Money: With an unlimited OCR tool, the need to pay per page is now redundant.
- - Saves Time: The exclusive auto-categorization will replace the manual effort of sorting the documents, thereby saving time considerably.
- - Saves Space: Reclaim the space used to store physical documents.
- - Multiple Document Support: Manage all types and formats of documents
- - Easy Access: Access documents from any machine on the LAN or from anywhere in the world via the internet and Smart Phones
- - User Friendly: Single mechanism to manage both, electronic and paper documents
- - Security: With Features like Access Control, Version Control, Print Control, documents are always safe and remain confidential and cannot be tampered
- - Advanced Search Capability: Comprehensive search capabilities, including quick search, advanced search and full text search with mouse over thumbnail allows easy identification of documents
- - Multi User Support: Multi-user capabilities enable many users on network to access, store and share documents for faster turnaround and help increase productivity
“With the launch of DigiDocs, we look forward to redefine the functioning of end to end processes in organizations. Further customization that we offer along with our solution to match client requirements could possibly bring about transformation in transactional processing, thereby enhancing overall scalability and efficiency in organizations”, added Monika Jhaveri, CMO, KSmart Group.

WHO approaches countries to reduce sugars intake among adults and children
WHO approaches countries to reduce sugars intake among adults and children
Free sugars allude to monosaccharides, (for example, glucose, fructose) and disaccharides, (for example, sucrose or table sugar) added to foods and drinks by the maker, cook or shopper, and sugars commonly introduce in nectar, syrups, organic product squeezes and organic product juice condensed.
"We have robust proof that keeping intake of free sugars to less than 10% of total energy intake reduces the danger of overweight, obesity and tooth rot," says Dr Francesco Branca, Director of WHOs Department of Nutrition for Health and Development. "Rolling out strategy improvements to help this will be key if countries are to experience their responsibilities to reduce the trouble of noncommunicable diseases."
The WHO guideline does not allude to the sugars in new foods grown from the ground, and sugars characteristically display in milk, on the grounds that there is no reported proof of unfriendly effects of devouring these sugars.
A significant part of the sugars devoured today are "covered up" in prepared foods that are not generally seen as desserts. For instance, 1 tablespoon of ketchup contains around 4 grams (around 1 teaspoon) of free sugars. A solitary container of sugar-sweetened pop contains up to 40 grams (around 10 teaspoons) of free sugars.
Overall intake of free sugars changes by age, setting and nation. In Europe, intake in adults ranges from around 7-8% of total energy intake in countries like Hungary and Norway, to 16-17% in countries like Spain and the United Kingdom. Intake is much higher among children, running from around 12% in countries like Denmark, Slovenia and Sweden, to about 25% in Portugal. There are likewise country/urban contrasts. In rustic groups in South Africa intake is 7.5%, while in the urban population it is 10.3%.
Decreasing sugars intake to less than 10% of total energy: an in number recommendation
The recommendations are in light of analysis of the most recent scientific proof. This confirmation shows, in the first place, that adults who expend less sugars have lower body weight and, second, that expanding the measure of sugars in the eating routine is connected with a weight increment. Furthermore, research demonstrates that children with the most noteworthy intakes of sugar-sweetened drinks are more prone to be overweight or hefty than children with a low intake of sugar-sweetened drinks.
Further reduction to less than 5% of total energy intake: a contingent recommendation
Given the nature of existing studies, the recommendation of decreasing intake of free sugars to beneath 5% of total energy is introduced as "restrictive" in the WHO framework for issuing confirmation based direction.
Few epidemiological studies have been attempted in populations with a low sugars intake. Just three national far reaching studies permit a correlation of dental caries with sugars intakes of less than 5% of total energy intake versus more than 5% yet less than 10% of total energy intake.
