Mercedes-Benz E-Class
Mercedes-Benz marketed in 2012 two hybrid versions of the Class E, one with a diesel engine and an electric (E 300 BlueTEC HYBRID Class) and one with a gasoline engine and an electric (Class E 400 HYBRID). The first is for the European market and the second to the U.S. and then to other countries like Japan and China.
The hybrid system is not the same as the S 400 HYBRID because it can not operate solely in electric mode and two Class E itself.
These two versions are hybrids of the Class E system stop-start engine (“Start / Stop”) in the arrests and an alternator that produces energy primarily on deceleration. In addition to circular driven by the electric motor only, in certain circumstances, have a way of functioning, which Mercedes-Benz calls “the llaneo” which allows the road at constant speed, under favorable conditions, only the electric motor . In other brands such as Volkswagen Posch or the way ‘Sailing’ is that at a certain speed, if the driver lifts off the throttle, the engine is decoupled thermal and electrical resistance only provides electricity needed to keep running the electronic systems.

Practical advice on social networks
Lately I’ve read several articles with similar characteristics: tips for a good use of social networks (and especially Facebook). I have read comments on Enrique Dans of ConsumerReports of Blogoff … There is so much advice for use as safety tips, but I am going to focus on the latter, since all the advice is based, more or less in the same premises:
Limit the information published : Both on personal characteristics such as social circumstances. Do not give excessive intimate data, not to facilitate monitoring of status / location in real time, …
Group : people and separate them into groups / lists depending on the type of relationship they have with you (friends, family, career, …).
Limit access : The access from outside of social networks and access for each group for each type of information. In short, properly set up privacy, the possibility of occurrence in searches, etc..
Limit activity : Be cautious in the use of features which can allow access to proprietary information or that may affect your presence beyond your own profile (“personal” information on the wall, excessive labeling photos, public activity “propaganda” , etc.)..
Use robust passwords : This I think needs no explanation.
However, I think some of these tips conflict with that many people use their social networks want to: enhance their public digital image, to help them learn and be identifiable as active in the social network. In that case, much of the advice given for the sake of privacy are completely useless, since the objective is completely the opposite, advertising. In that case, all previous assumptions we might be only two: a group (though perhaps not useless because it does not have to apply the criterion of limiting access) and use robust passwords.
In this case the question arises to me is always the same: Is it possible to give valid advice in the field of security for these users? Why are these users do not “appreciate” your privacy? Is the privacy of our industry overvalued or undervalued by these users? Do they support both views? I would be delighted to hear your opinions …
