Local Team in Building Success

September 26th, 2011

Until 6 months ago, this formerly corrupt village was little more than baron land with poor conditions and badly built huts. Then, Jennifer Abubakar Abena and her father, Magudo, 53, set out to raise funds to increase local prosperity. Together they managed to raise over $1,500, which was put toward the cost of building a high-technology hospital, a water facility and a brand new school. Now, the village has been deemed an oasis, attracting new residents and visitors.

When we first arrived to check on their progress, we witnessed the laying of the initial foundations and the small ground-breaking ceremony, led by Jennifer Abubakar Abena and her father. Since then, the hospital, a one-storey facility with two wards–for male and female patients and two operating theaters—is now complete and working 24 hours a day. Doctors, who once declined the opportunity to work in this village, are now flocking for positions here. At present the hospital has 4 resident doctors, and 2 surgeons who come from a nearby town for special operations.

53 year old Magudo told us, through his daughter—he doesn’t speak English–how excited we was. “We are so very pleased with the way things have gone. The generosity shown by people from all over the world has made it possible for us to not only wipe out disease and illiteracy in this village, but also it is a step forward for us to stamp out corruption too. I am so overjoyed and the money is still coming in.”

Jennifer Abubakar Abena, also said “We would like to thank everybody who has made any size of donation to this village. We hope that our work will continue to create and develop this village. Maybe one day it will become a thriving small town, with businesses and communication networks. And it will no longer be corrupt. That is our ultimate goal and we will, one day, make sure it happens.”  Jennifer Abubakar Abena smiled as she walked back to the construction site to oversee the project.

Audi 100 years of Car Making History

September 8th, 2011

Karl Freidrich Benz was the man who created the first true automobile, Henry Ford visualised and created the first assembly line for mass production of large numbers of automobiles, both men played a crucial part in auto making history, but we cannot talk about auto making history without mentioning Audi.

Audi was founded by August Horch in 1909, the year he was forced out of the company he founded in 1899. In the beginning, Horch continued to trade under the Horch brand, but after his partners sued him for trademark infringement, he was forced to come up with another name for his company; it was then that the Audi name came up.

During a meeting in Franz Fikentschers’ apartment to come up with a new name for the company, Franz’s son who was studying Latin at the time (common in those days), suggested that instead of Horch they used Audi which mean “Hark!” or “Horch” German for “hear” and the idea was accepted by everyone attending the meeting.

The first models produced by Audi were the 2,612 cc 2.6 litre 4 cylinder model, followed by a 3564 cc 3.6 litre model, as well as 4680 cc 4.7 L and 5720 cc 5.7L models. In 1921 Audi was the first German car manufacturer to build a left-hand drive production car, the Audi Type K.

Audi Models of the 1920′s were luxurious and were becoming successful in the racing tracks, in the early 30′s Audi merged with Horch, DKW and Wanderer to form Auto Union.

With the creation of Auto Union the four overlapping rings badge was created to represent the union of the four German car manufacturers. The Auto Union era is best known for its success in the racing tracks. The Silver Arrows dominated the GP car racing from 1934 onwards and established records that were only equalled in the early 80′s by turbocharged F1 cars.

We’ll skip the WW II and Post War periods, I jump all the way to early 80′s when introduced the Quattro four wheel drive and the Audi Quattro, commonly know at the time as Ur-Quattro, a turbocharged coup? that dominated the rally tracks in the 80′s and was the first German car to be produced in large scale featuring permanent all-wheel-drive (Quattro).

In 1985 Auto Union was officially dead and Audi shortened its name to Audi AG. Over the following years Audi introduced less successful models like the Audi 80 and the Audi 90.

Audi’s big break happened in 1994 with the introduction of the Audi A4, a predecessor for the Audi 80, the Audi A4 gain recognition and sales went up which led Audi to develop more powerful and luxurious models like the Audi A6 and A8.

Two years later Audi released what became its most successful model to date, the Audi A3, built in conjunction with the Volkswagen Group using the same platform as the A4, the A3 was initially available only as a 3 door hatchback.

In 2000 Audi revolutionised sports car racing once again with the Audi R8 and dominated the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans, winning 5 of 7 years it competed.

After 20 years of research with diesel engines the results were paid off with another revolutionary racing car the Audi R10 TDI, which again dominated Le Mans’ racing tracks for four consecutive years, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, till it was replaced the new Audi R15 TDI.

All technological advances made by Audi in the racing tracks are used in its models nowadays. With their high fuel efficiency and low emissions the TDI engines are a reference, the petrol engines have high fuel efficiency thanks to Audi’s Valvelift technology, not to mention the Quattro four-wheel-drive and all the other technological advances Audi makes year after year.

Prove to that is the Audi R8 a state of the art sports car that was successful in the racing and in less than 2 years gained respect of sports cars enthusiast form all over the world.

Audi’s success is the reflect of the company’s tagline Vorsprung durch Technik, meaning “Advantage through Technology”.
