Noida car crash: The couple had married only last year

Anupriya worked with ICICI Bank in South Extension-II of New Delhi, while her husband, Naveen Nagarajan is a software engineer in an IT firm in Gurgaon. The couple had married a year back.

On Sunday, family members of the Nagarajan family were in a state of extreme shock. Relatives had flown in from different cities to condole the bereaved family. 
Anupriya's parents reached from Bhopal after receiving the news. Anupriya, a native of Bhopal, had married Naveen in February 2011. Naveen is the only son of his parents, apart from a daughter who is studying in the US.

As news of Anupriya's death reached her colleagues, they made a steady beeline to her home to offer their condolences and attend her last rites at the Sector 125 crematorium. They remembered the moments of happiness the cheerful Anupriya had shared with them in office.

Grief turned into anger for her colleagues, when police failed to take the responsibility and fixed the accountability on drivers. "The onus lies on drivers to minimize negligence while driving. Twenty four-hour vigils are not possible due to severe lack of staff, but we do undertake checks and drives periodically," said Raju Babu Singh, SP (Traffic).

Regarding Anupriya's accident, police claim that the driver of the Marshall jeep was at fault. "As both the driver and the helper are in a critical condition, it's only after they can give their statements when we will be able to fix accountability for the accident," said SSP Praveen Kumar.

Try taking this Back To The Future! Software engineer creates monster truck using DeLorean car from classic 1980s films

A man addicted to DeLorean cars has become an Internet sensation after he transformed the classic Back To The Future vehicle into a monster truck.


Rich Weissensel, a software engineer, is fanatic about the two-door sports car and owns five of them – including a stretched DeLorean limousine.
The 48-year-old’s re-modelled 1981 DeLorean went viral after a video of it was uploaded to YouTube of the truck accidentally getting close to running over a Ferrari.

The DeLorean is one of the world's most iconic cars after it appeared as a time machine in the Back To The Future films.

Rich keeps three standard models at his home in Chicago, Illnois but it is this incredible monster truck which gets Car Diagnostic Tools the attention of pedestrians and awe of motorists.

Rich's truck, dubbed the D Rex, is based on a 1981 DeLorean's body but mounted onto the running gear of a 1979 Chevrolet K5 Blazer SUV.

He fitted it with 44-inch wheels three times the size of the average car's wheels and a V8 motor.

He added: ‘I saw the stainless steel and the gullwing doors, and I was hooked. I bought my first DeLorean in 1985.

‘The typical reaction Benz repaire special service I get from the general public is of smiles and appreciation with plenty of people describing it as 'badass'.

‘But some DeLorean “purists” have a less than enthusiastic response - even when they find out the car had been wrecked previously.’

US Patent Awarded to Cereplast for High Heat Resistant Polylactic Acid Compositions

The patent expands the company’s growing intellectual property (IP) portfolio and also protects the formulation that was discovered by Mr. Frederic Scheer, Chairman and CEO of Cereplast, and Mr. William E. Kelly, a member of Cereplast’s research and development team.
 JBT CS 538
Scheer said that the new patent reinforces Cereplast's leadership status in the bioplastics industry by protecting its intellectual property. He added that the patent awarded is in line with their long-term growth strategy as they continue to produce different grades of bioplastic resin materials that meet the market demands.

PLA has drawbacks related to heat resistance and melt strength, which has limited the use of the material in high temperature applications. On the other hand, Cereplast's high heat resistant polymer compositions can be compostable and can preserve their structural characteristics at temperatures higher than 74°C.
Cereplast's sustainable bioplastics are used as alternatives to traditional plastics in major converting processes, such as extrusions, blow molding, thermoforming and injection molding. Cereplast Compostables resins are suitable for single-use applications, which mainly require high biobased content and compostability, particularly in the food service sector. Cereplast Sustainables resins are ideal for applications in packaging, consumer electronics, automotive and other industries.Learn more information at http://www.obd2us.com/.
