Land Rover Discovery Sport Petrol Review — Has The Baby Discovery Got Its Roots Strong?
The Land Rover Discovery Sport was first introduced in India in 2015 as a replacement to the Freelander 2. Three years on, the Discovery Sport is given a mild refresh with a starting price of Rs 41.99 lakh ex-showroom (Mumbai). Available in both petrol and diesel formats, the Land Rover Discovery Sport lies just above the entry-level Range Rover Evoque in the British marque's product portfolio.
We drive the rather niche petrol-powered Discovery Sport in the HSE (High Specification Equipment) trim to find out how much it gives justice to the iconic 'Discovery' nameplate. We also drove the diesel-powered Discovery Sport — read the review here.
In case you didn't know, Land Rover has only two model series: Range Rover and Discovery (three, if the now-discontinued Defender is considered). The Range Rover series has seen a lot of models over the years, namely the Evoque, Velar, Range Rover Sport and a top-of-the-line Range Rover.
Meanwhile, the Discovery series had just one flagship model — Discovery 4 (now just the 'Discovery'). In order to appeal to another category of the market, Land Rover introduced the Discovery Sport — the smaller yet capable form of the premium Discovery.
But has the Discovery Sport got its roots strong? Find out for yourself!
Design And Styling
While the original Discovery was popular for its boxy styling, the new Discovery Sport is more angular and chiselled at the peripheries. In fact, all modern Land Rovers follow this aesthetic approach set by the brand's Head Of Design, Gerry McGovern. They are becoming less boxy with time, which is good in terms of aerodynamic efficiency but still upsets the purists.
At the front, the slotted two-slat grille forms the major design element, while the other components connect around it in a mix of linear and orthogonal fashions. The LED DRLs offer a good visual drama and the fog lamp housings (lamps are absent on this trim) make the front-end look sporty. Above all this rests the "D I S C O V E R Y" lettering to show it's different from a Range Rover.
The tall side profile elevates to hold the gloss black roof with the thick C-pillar. A character line advances from the fender streaks and to the tail lamps through the door handles. A black fibre garnish runs across the bottom and around the wheel arches. The 18-inch five spoke alloy wheels suit the design and the high 212-millimetre ground clearance, well.
The rear is perhaps the least striking profile and has received mixed opinions ever since the vehicle was officially unveiled for the first time in 2015. The LED tail lamps, twin exhaust pipes and the raised skid plate are pleasing to look at but not so much in unison. However, there are a few who like the rear design and compared to that of the new flagship Discovery, the Discovery Sport has got a much better-looking posterior.
In total, the new Discovery Sport's design language suits both, those who prefer elegance as well as those with an inclination towards sportiness.
The Cockpit
On the inside, the Discovery Sport features a basic layout. There is a good mix of leather, beige and brushed metal components across the dashboard and on the steering wheel. Since this is one of the entry-level Land Rovers, you can find a lot of plastic bits (not cheap ones, though) all around the interiors.
The large and well-gripped steering wheel is tiltable and telescopic, but manually. The steering wheel also hosts functionalities related to the infotainment system and cruise control, on the left and right, respectively.
The instrument cluster comprises of both analogue and digital elements with the speedometer and tachometer reading out using a needle. Between them lies the 5.0-inch TFT display which incorporates the gauges for the coolant temperature and fuel, plus a host of other vital information.
The lighting and wiper stalks behind the steering wheel, which are sturdy and click into place in a satisfying manner. The metal-lined two-zone climate control knobs have got a good feel to them, however, the other switches feel a bit flimsy.
Compared to the Range Rover Evoque (with which it shares a lot of equipment), the interiors of the baby Discovery feel airy and roomy. The primary reason for this is the large greenhouse (amount of light getting inside through the windows) which the design offers.
Stereo And Infotainment
The infotainment package on the Discovery Sport comes in the form of an 8.0-inch touchscreen unit, placed at a high and convenient position on the dashboard. The User Interface (UI) is smooth and the system comes with a lot of functionalities including navigation, radio, InControl (smartphone connectivity), WiFi hotspot etc., but no Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
Most of the functions can be accessed by the physical buttons placed on either side of the screen too. There is also abutton to engage or disengage the parking assist or proximity alert; a handy addition whenever the system annoyingly starts beeping in tight traffic conditions.
As in most Jaguar Land Rover models, the audio system is supplied by Meridian — one of the leading brands in the field of sound systems. The 10-speaker unit does not disappoint music lovers at all. The engineers at Land Rover and Meridian have given adequate attention to the quality of the audio, at any given location inside the cabin.
The volume control knob (also acts as the on/off button) for the audio system is small and placed well-below the touchscreen unit. This could cause a bit of confusion if you are trying to turn off the audio or reduce the volume for the very first time; that too in a hurry (unless, of course, you use the steering-mounted controls).
Practicality, Comfort And Boot Space
In the Indian context, the practicality offered by an SUV is quite overwhelming — lots of space and comfort without having to worry about scraping the underbody. The new Land Rover Discovery Sport does a good job in this regard and holds a commanding presence too.
As mentioned, the Discovery Sport's design lets enough light enter inside unlike in the Evoque. If that's not enough for you, the blinds of the large fixed panoramic roof can be opened to create a unique travel experience.
Most of the buttons and knobs are set up in an ergonomic fashion; well within reach. However, the power window switches are placed at a really inconvenient location — at the base of the windows. Meanwhile, the usual place for the power window switches is taken up by the door lock/unlock buttons.
There are quite a lot of storage spaces spread across the cabin. The armrest can be slid forward to suit your driving position and the common smartphone connectivity ports are hidden under it.
The perforated leather seats offer good comfort and support for an SUV, but may not be the best in terms of Land Rover standards. The front seats are 10-way adjustable but do not come with memory. However, the top-end HSE Luxury (available only with the diesel variant) trim gets 12-way adjustable front seats along with memory options.
At the rear, the split-folding seats can be reclined to a certain extent and can easily fit three adults. The backrest is quite tall but some may find the rear seats to be a bit on the stiffer side. The rear AC vents are positioned on either B-pillar and this leaves some legroom for the middle passenger and space for the transmission tunnel.
The test vehicle we received came in a '5+2' configuration; making it an almost seven-seater. We used the term 'almost' since the last-row seats can only be used by toddlers (that too if they are not claustrophobic). Still, we appreciate the fact they get a cup/bottle holder on either side.
The third-row bench can be folded absolutely flat to reveal a good boot space of 981 litres. Fold the middle-row seats and you get 1698 litres of storage. However, the third-row bench does not allow the car to have a full-size spare wheel.
Engine, Performance And Driving Impressions
The 2.0-litre turbocharged (single twin-scroll) Ingenium petrol engine is certainly the rarer choice compared to the diesel. However, petrol SUVs are niche, yet still maintains an active customer base in the country. While sales are comparatively lower, those who buy a premium petrol vehicle do not seem to regret their choice.
The Si4 petrol Discovery Sport makes 237bhp at 5000rpm and 340Nm of torque from as low as 1500rpm, which are decent figures for the size of the engine. This comes mated to a nine-speed ZF automatic transmission which sends power to all four wheels.
The retracting gear selector is a party trick which never gets old. When the vehicle is off, the knob hides down to give a near-flat surface. But the moment you turn on the ignition, the knob rises from below — quite a sight to watch for the first time. Also found in Jaguar models, this function helps a bit in space management.
The petrol engine promises a 0 – 100km/h sprint time of 7.9 seconds and a top speed of 204km/h. The same power plant does its duty in the Range Rover Velar petrol (read the review here) but comes assisted with twin-turbochargers; thus bumping up the performance figures.
The Discovery Sport also feels virtually lighter than the diesel variant but lacks the torque surge which the latter offers. In fact, the turbo-spool happens quite early and is short-lived compared to the diesel variant. This makes the Si4 petrol variant better-suited for the city and short-distance commute. As a plus point, the NVH levels are low too.
The electronic power steering is nicely weighted at speeds, yet light enough to manoeuvre in tight spaces. Fast turns do welcome some amount of body roll, but that isn't strange for an SUV this size. The suspension is tweaked to suit the best of both: on-the-road and off-the-road; with off-the-road being more prioritised.
The Discovery Sport wafts over potholes effortlessly. Of course, the ride isn't expected to be absolutely calm, but you will instantly observe the reduced amount of jostles (especially for the rear passengers), which are accompanied in most off-roaders.
The suspension of a conventional off-road vehicle is generally softer in order to absorb all the shocks. However, this makes the ride quite bouncy and passengers are often thrown around inside the cabin when the wheels hit an undulation. In this regard, the engineers at Land Rover have done a brilliant job in tuning the Discovery Sport's suspension for both well-paved and ill-patched roads.
There is an arresting air surge from the exhaust pipes at high speeds and deep pedal positions, even though the engine seems to lose breath at high revs. The transmission works really well during relaxed drives, but once the throttle is fully depressed (be it in Drive or Sport), the gearbox acts a bit confused.
The paddles do not return the best shift-times and the engine automatically tends to downshift at high speeds, even when it is not required. We haven't noticed this in the diesel version and that is the better choice if you intend to use the car for frequent highway runs.
Further convenience is added to the driving experience through Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL). Activated by the "LIM" button on the steering wheel, you can set the maximum speed at which you want to drive (hence avoiding speeding fines).
ASL and cruise control work side-by-side. While the cruise control can be used to travel at a certain speed, the vehicle can touch higher speeds while going down a slope. This is where ASL comes in to play. The system makes sure that the vehicle moves only at the set speed, through braking.
Off-Road Capabilities
Since we are talking about a Land Rover, it is only fair to draw focus to its off-roading prowess. Before we begin, rest assured the Discovery Sport is a baby Discovery and in all aspects, a Land Rover.
We took the SUV over quite some demanding terrains and it tackled all with utmost ease. The Terrain Response System works brilliantly in adapting the differentials, transmission and some electronics (including traction control) to suit the path ahead. The system comes with four modes: General Driving, Grass/Gravel/Snow, Mud/Ruts and Sand; each of which can be selected via the buttons on the dashboard.
Gone are the days of choosing between 'High' and 'Low' gear settings to match the terrain in a conventional four-wheel-drive vehicle. Advanced automotive electronics now allow you to select the terrain you wish to drive, and the computer does the rest.
We made some paths of our own with the Discovery Sport to test its performance through various modes. First on Grass/Gravel/Snow mode, the throttle response becomes a bit relaxed while traction control and gear changes are more active.
With a water-wading depth of 600mm and Mud/Ruts turned on, you can drive the SUV through small water channels with no worry of getting stuck. In higher Land Rover products, the mode also lifts the air suspension.
Sand Mode, as the name suggests, is meant to keep the vehicle always in traction over loose grounds. It holds the gears longer so that the differential can provide optimum torque and traction to the wheels.
In most conditions, the SUV will be able to pull you out from any ground in Drive mode and broken roads or undulations can easily be dealt at good speeds (recommended only when the road is clear and wide).
Specifications Overview
Here are some facts and figures of the latest Land Rover Discovery Sport petrol variant:
|1997cc Turbo Petrol
|No. Of Cylinders
|Power (bhp)
|Torque (Nm)
|9-Speed Automatic
|Top Speed (km/h)
|Average Mileage (km/l)
|Wheel Size (mm)
|Kerb Weight (kg)
|Ex-Showroom Price (Delhi)
|Rs 53.75 Lakh
|Price As Tested
|Rs 61.35 Lakh
Variants, Mileage And Colours
The Land Rover Discovery Sport is available in five variants (four diesel and one petrol). The same is listed below along with their ex-showroom (Delhi) prices:
|Petrol Variants
|Rs 53.75 Lakh
|Diesel Variants
|Rs 44.67 Lakh
|Rs 51.24 Lakh
|Rs 54.76 Lakh
|HSE Luxury
|Rs 60.43 Lakh
The Discovery Sport petrol variant is not a wise choice if fuel consumption is a concern. It returned a mileage figure close to 11km/h and this goes down to single digits in the city. Turning on the ECO mode helps a bit in improving the fuel efficiency, but does not make a major difference.
The Discovery Sport is available in six colour choices: Byron Blue (review vehicle), Firenze Red, Fuji White, Indus Silver, Santorini Black and Scotia Grey.
Safety And Key Features
For the price point and what it is meant to be, the Land Rover Discovery Sport ticks a lot of boxes on the features and equipment front. Here is what you can expect to get:
- All-Terrain Progress Control (ATPC)* and Terrain Response
- Electronic Traction Control and Hill Start Assist
- Roll Stability Control (RSC) and Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
- Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
- Gradient Release Control (GDC)**
- Automatic headlamps and wipers
- Fixed panoramic roof
- Heated and powered ORVMs
- Two-zone climate control
- Ambient illumination
- Keyless entry
*ATPC keeps the car at a steady speed over challenging ground conditions so that you can fully concentrate on steering. Speeds from as low as 1.8km/h to 30km/h can be set; making ATPC somewhat of a cruise control for broken paths.
**GDC prevents the vehicle from accelerating too quickly after it comes to a stop on an incline. The system is similar to Hill Start Assist.
The Discovery Sport also comes with essential safety features, some of which are listed below:
- 9 airbags
- Two ISOFIX child seat mounts
- Auto-locking and collision-unlocking doors
- Auto-hazard lights on panic braking
- Cruise control
- Reverse parking camera and Park Assist
Additionally, the global-spec Land Rover Discovery Sport (features more safety aids than the one we get in India) has scored a five-star rating in Euro NCAP (New Car Assessment Program) safety tests.
Accessories And Warranty
To make your Discovery Sport even more functional and unique, you can opt for a whole range of accessories from Land Rover. This ranges from exterior protection, exterior and interior styling bits; storage aids, loading equipment and wheels. You can check out the entire list on Land Rover's official website or the nearest dealership.
Warranty Period***
- 3 years or unlimited kilometres
***The warranty period can further be extended through some region-specific plans. Contact your nearest Jaguar Land Rover dealership for more details.
Scheduled Service Interval
- 1 year or 13,000 kilometres (can be availed under a five-year maintenance service plan)
The petrol-powered luxury SUV segment in India does not see a lot of players due to its niche acceptance. For the same reason, the Land Rover Discovery Sport petrol rivals only the BMW X3 sDrive30i, Audi Q5 45 TFSi and Mercedes-Benz GLC 300; models within the same price category.
Fact Check
Below is a brief fact check between the Land Rover Discovery Sport and its primary rivals:
|Displacement (cc)
|Power/Torque (bhp/Nm)
|Starting Price
|Land Rover Discovery Sport
|Rs 53.75 Lakh
|BMW X3 sDrive30i
|Rs 58.25 Lakh
|Audi Q5 45TFSi
|Rs 55.27 Lakh
|Mercedes-Benz GLC 300
|Rs 54.50 Lakh
The Land Rover Discovery Sport Si4 variant is one of the very few SUVs in India which make buying a petrol-powered luxury SUV seem like a sensible choice. It is as capable as the diesel variant and performs even better in some key areas (city driving, NVH controls, etc.) though it makes some compromises in terms of fuel efficiency. Still, the Discovery Sport petrol remains a true Land Rover and that's what counts for many.
To sum up, the baby Discovery Sport has definitely got its roots strong!
Abhinand Venugopal Thinks!
The Land Rover Discovery Sport is one SUV which shouldn't spend the majority of its lifetime on level terrains. Very few premium SUVs (as low as 10%) sold in the country are used in the way they are meant to be, while the rest of the pack ends up being just a sort of status symbol. The Discovery Sport is definitely 'above and beyond' its competitors in terms of off-road capabilities, but sadly, only a few try to prove it.
What We Liked
- Cabin space and greenhouse
- The host of off-road modes and assists
- Adaptability of the suspension for both rough and smooth terrains
- Road presence offered in a relatively-compact size
- Very few shortcomings compared to the flagship Discovery
What We Didn't Like
- Petrol variant lacks the punch of the diesel; especially on the highway
- Odd placement of some buttons (e.g. power window switches)
- The complication in activating/using certain functions (e.g. low range mode, cruise control and ASL; in-built navigation, etc.)
- No Apple CarPlay or Android Auto
- Unusable third-row seats
What You Need To Know
- Production: Completely Knocked Down (CKD) product supplied by Jaguar Land Rover's Halewood manufacturing plant in Liverpool, UK
- Local Assembly Plant: Chakan, Pune, Maharashtra
- Engine: The Ingenium family consists of a range of modular architecture engines (in both petrol and diesel formats) in three, four, five and six-cylinder formats; each cylinder having a capacity of 500cc (in the Discovery Sport, 500cc x four cylinders = 2000cc or two litres)
- On-Road Price (Mumbai): Rs 61.35 lakh
- Booking Amount: Rs 1 lakh
Did You Know?
The Land Rover logo we see today was created in 1989. Rumours suggest that the oval shape was inspired by a pilchard (a marine fish) tin, as the designer was having lunch when he designed it. Meanwhile, the arrow shapes lying after "Land" and before "Rover" signifies the brand's slogan — "Above and Beyond".

Rachel Crow has revealed that she shed 15lbs before the X Factor USA live shows.
The 13-year-old singer, who was chosen for the show's Top 12 by mentor Simon Cowell during Tuesday night's broadcast, revealed that she followed a strict diet and exercise regimen in order to slim down as she wanted to look her best on TV.
"I decided to do it because I thought, 'You are going to be on TV, you gotta clean up your act. You have to give it your all.' I really went all out. I lost 15 pounds in about two months," she told People.
"I just did a lot of cardio and working out and my mom was with me all the way so I am really happy. Food used to be everything to me but now it is not. It is more like I eat for survival. So now I am good."
However, Crow insisted that she has no plans to shed more pounds in the future, adding: "I don't think I am going to lose any more weight because if I did I wouldn't be Rachel. But I am definitely going to keep up on my eating regimen and try to keep going [with my exercise]."
Crow was chosen as one of Cowell's five acts to reach last night's first live show, alongside Drew Ryniewicz, Simone Battle, Tiah Tolliver and Melanie Amaro.
She moved on to the Top 12 with Ryniewicz and Amaro, while Tolliver and Battle were sent home.

The Detective
Director: Gordon Douglas
Writer: Abby Mann. Based on the novel by Roderick Thorp
Cast: Frank Sinatra, Lee Remick, Jacqueline Bisset, Tony Musante, Lloyd Bochner
When considering how potentially offensive any movie can be, one must take into account the historical context in which the movie was made. The Detective is notable for being the first movie to deal openly with the issue of "homosexuality" and to attempt a sympathetic portrayal of "homosexuals". However, even though it was considered progressive for the time, The Detective struck me as being a little condescending and potentially offensive for modern audiences.
When the gay son of a prominent New York businessman is brutally murdered, Detective Joe Leland (Frank Sinatra) is assigned to investigate. It does not take him long to track down the victims live in lover Felix Tesla (Tony Musante) and extract a confession. However, Joe is troubled because Tesla is clearly insane. When Tesla is executed, Jos finds himself ridden with guilt even though breaking the case helped earn his promotion to Lieutenant as Tesla clearly had psychatric problems making his confession suspect. Soon afterwards, Detective Leland is approached by the recently widowed Norma MacIver who asks him to look into her husbands suicide. While the two cases appear unrelated, they both turn out to be connected to corruption at the highest levels of the city.
The Queering
Like I said earlier, The Detective was considered progressive for the time period it was released in. However, it's attempts at sympathetically portrayals of it's gay characters falls far short of that lofty goal. The main problem is that the gay characters are either self loathing murderers, have serious psychiatric problems, or end up dead. Also, I later decided to watch the trailer and noticed that it appears to be using the term "perverts" to refer to gay men.
However, these complaints aside, one can forgive the filmmakers considering the time period. Remember, The Detective came out in 1968, a whole year before the Stonewall Riots that "started" the gay liberation movement and the now defunct Hays Code had only recently been officially abolished.
Furthermore, ignoring the negative stereotypes used to portray the gay characters, The Detective is a damn fine movie. The characterization of the non-gay characters is fairly subtle and complex, while the plot, while somewhat derivative, managed to hold my attention throughout. There are also some nice performances showcased within and after watching this, I can see why Frank Sinatra was considered the coolest actor of his generation.
On the flip side, The Detective was also trying to be progressive in areas beyond sexuality. To that end, Leland and his wife are suffering marital problems, the problems of drugs are not ignored, and the dialog tries to represent the way people and particularly police officers talk in real life. The film is somewhat succesful at this, the relationship Leland has with his wife is explored not only in depth but with a sensitivity rarely seen on film. Like with the presentation of the gay characters though, the film does resort to instances of facile melodrama that cause it to feel somewhat immature. These can be considered the growing pains of the Hollywood system following the aforementioned ending of the Hays Code.
Trivia: Roderick Thorp who wrote the novel The Detective the film was based upon, also wrote a sequel Nothing Lasts Forever featuring Detective Leland that was later used as the basis for the movie Die Hard. Other than that, it's difficult to find a connection between the two movies. The Detective tries to be gritty and "mature" film noir, whilst Die Hard of course was a typical 80's action flick geared towards adolescent males.
Once one gets past negative stereotypes, The Detective makes for an interesting diversion while showcasing a lot of old school Holywood talent. Considering the time period, I'm therefore willing to recommend it for anyone who may be interested in classic movies with queer themes. Personally, I enjoyed The Detective more for what it was attempting than what it succeeded at.

ZWILLING Sorrento 2-pc Double-Wall Glass Coffee Cup Set
$29.00 $19.99
ZWILLING Sorrento 2-pc Double-Wall Glass Coffee Cup Set is rated out of 5 by 47.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Klaus1 from Great looks, high quality, super practical! There should be more room to give this line of Zwilling glassware a proper sales pitch. Sure, these mugs are expensive but: They are practical. You can microwave water to boiling in these mugs, without the outside getting hot. And never worry about chemicals leaching into the contents of the mug – it's glassware. They are a light, made of borosilicate glass. The natural first impression is that they are made of acrylic. Yet they are made of the same thermal-shock-resistant glass used in chemistry lab glassware. The same Chinese double-wall glassblowing technology is used to make teapots. They are good-looking and flawlessly made. You can see the Sorrento design in the photos. What you can't see is the perfectly consistent size between mugs, and the very fine quality of the workmanship. Perfect for serving craft beers! They feel great in the hands and on the lips.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Dissappointed from 2 broken glasses I bought a pair, one cracked on the rim after simple washing. The second broke when pouring a beverage in. Very dissapointed.
Date published: 2017-01-08
Rated 5 out of 5 by CookinginCali from Hot or Cold, This is a Beautiful Way to Serve The Sorrento line of double walled glasses and mugs are perfect for keeping hot thing hot and cold things cold. Specially designed to be self-insulating, they maintain the correct temperature of whatever I serve in them. They also eliminate condensation on the outside when serving cold drinks. Beautifully shaped. Just right for the hands to wrap around. Designed by world renown Matteo Thun and hand-blown by glass-making artisans. A delicious way to enjoy a beverage. These coffee cups are more often used for cocktails at my house.

Rated 5 out of 5 by jbeans77 from These are hands down the best double wall glasses on the market. I have tried other brands only to have them leak between the layers, get cloudy in the dishwasher or break easily. Hot beverages stay hot and cold beverages stay cold without forming a sweat on the outside of the glass. I can go to bed with an ice water and wake up in the morning with ice still in the glass! I use these glasses every day, put them in the dishwasher and they look just as great as when I bought them 3 years ago.
Date published: 2020-03-26
Rated 5 out of 5 by Florida234 from High quality. Durable. I love Zwilling sorrento 6.7oz cup. It is good size for rum and coke or vodka and tunic. My husband has the 9oz glass for his scotch but also would like to give this glass a try. Very happy with our purchase.
Date published: 2019-01-07
Rated 4 out of 5 by ChefRobVee from The state of the art design caught my attention, and I was immediately sold. As I begin reading the description of the cups, I became more excited to use them. I love the double wall technology, it is not only eye catching but it actually kept my coffee hot while my hands were safe and warm. I do wish they made this particular cup in the same style but a little bigger size.
Date published: 2020-03-28
Rated 5 out of 5 by MaxZX from Perfect cappuccino cup! Although, they are pricer than I wanted them to be (especially when I need 12 cups), they are phenomenal! The double wall helps the outside of the cup stay much cooler compared to a regular glass cup. My cappuccino stays hot for much longer compared to a regular glass cup. They look super fancy, especially next to my new Saeco Incanto espresso machine
Date published: 2020-07-19
Rated 5 out of 5 by Niner2015 from Great set of coffee mugs I love these mugs. These are a great gift for any occassion. I love the fact that I can drink my hot coffee and yet not burn my hands touching the mugs. They look great on a countertop, and they don't sweat, so I never have to worry about trying to locate my coasters which always go missing. Love the look and durability of these glasses!

Do your Double-Wall Glass coffee mugs come with a warranty? I am very careful with my new mugs, hand washing only, one of them has cracked after only 6 weeks of using it.
Warranty information and claim instructions are available here: https://www.zwilling.com/us/warranty.html We are only able to ship replacements within the United States. Please contact your Zwilling representative in your country for further assistance.

Is there a handle on these mugs? The two I have now from you Have Handles.
The Sorrento line of glassware does not have handles; the Sorrento Plus line does.

Is all Zwilling double wall glassware lead free? I am particularly interested in a set of coffee mugs.
All of our glassware is made from borosilicate glass and does not contain lead.

We at Team Pivomo owe a big thank you to all our Users, Mentors, Partners and Educators who have really helped us grow and stretch during 2016, making this a big year for all of us.
Even more than this, we have had countless suggestions, ideas and "off-the-wall" comments that have helped us build some exciting plans for 2017.
We are now clearer than ever that Pivomo has a vital role to play in supporting founders and entrepreneurs make strategic decisions about the direction of their venture (link). In 2017, we all need to work towards increasing the start up success rate and enhancing their sustainability.
First, let's look back at our growth story…
A Year In Review
- More than 10 x fold increase in our active User base, from 450 to 5,500
- Several block membership deals with partner organisations
- Trained mentor base from 3 to over 20
- Activity grew from 7 countries to 22
- Dynamiqe users now in over 20 leading universities
Pivomo has been busy developing our presence in key universities, enterprise organisations and technology hubs. We began the year as little more than a research project, with a new website and lots of goodwill from "early adopters". We have ended the year expanding globally and extending into new areas of decision support, eLearning and on line accreditation.
We relaunched the newly redesigned DMAP 2.0. combining eLearning and applied learning in order to significantly boost the impact of mentor education.
The Dynamiqe Mentoring Accreditation Programme (DMAP) was substantially overhauled and expanded, and benefited greatly from the involvement of leading Universities such as the LSE as well as tech accelerators, such as UK Lebanon Tech Hub SA. These partnerships have enabled us to change the way mentors are trained and accredited within organizations.
I was honoured to Chair the UCL Symposium on Mentoring, helping to understand what the term really meant in the entrepreneurial context. I was joined by Karen Hands, one of our accredited mentors. See link
Began a research project with Anglia Ruskin University, helping them to use Dynamiqe to understand the needs of the 200+ Enterprise Hub participants. See (link)
New DMAP cohort begins, with further major upgrade to the programme. And we got great feedback!
Presented with Dr Simon Best (Middlesex University) at the Loughborough University Enterprise Conference
Brexit. Along with most entrepreneurs and tech businesses, still in therapy!
I had the great honour to receive my doctorate from the Institute of Work based Learning, University of Middlesex. This was followed by a lovely party with family, friends and work colleagues.
I was delighted to attend the UK Enterprise Educators Conference, held in Liverpool, meeting educators from all over the world. The conference also gave an impressive overview of the rapidly developing field of enterprise education and helped us understand more about the needs of the tertiary sector.
Pivomo was part of a panel at the LSE discussing the implications of the Brexit vote for entrepreneurs and start ups. We highlighted the need for greater agility and increased sustainability during periods of uncertainty.
In November, we had the pleasure of partnering once again with Social Storm, during which we provided the Dynamiqe platform to all the student entrepreneurs across 7 countries and over 20 universities. We also trained the mentors and educators using a special DMAP-lite. (See link)
I also had the privilege of presenting at the London Business School.
Pivomo moved to Liverpool, with our new office opened up in the Corn Exchange right at the heart of the city. This gives us access to the rapidly growing North West region, close to several major universities, lower costs and easy access to London.
The Year Ahead
What we've learned this year is that there are rapidly emerging new demands on entrepreneurial education that cannot be met by using the established methods. In particular, there seems a rising need to support start up founder decision making with sharper and more accessible online tools; and support this with online interactive learning.
With this in mind, Pivomo will be launching the following during 2017:
- Another 10 x growth in our User base, with a target of 50,000 by end of 2017
- A 10 x increase in our trained mentor base, from 20 to over 200
- New decision support tools under development
- An eLearning programme for entrepreneurs
- A newly revised mentor accreditation programme, utilising the interactivity of eLearning
- An improved web interface and UX design, making it much easier to access our range of services.
This will be a huge year for us. On behalf of Katerina, Karen, Ujjal and Pam, I'd like to thank you all for your support and look forward to traveling with you in 2017 and beyond!

Ultrallure Reviews: What Exactly Are Pheromones And Why Do People Wear Them
These pheromones are chemicals that cause others in order to react different ways to the wearer. They are bottled in both men and women types of these chemicals. This is done to get those around you in social situations to respond differently to you.
Pheromones are nature's own chemical compound that has the ability to trigger an answer from another member of the same species.
- Look, I am not going to kid you here.
- This method is very extraordinary however it's not 100% perfect, okay?
- Can you imagine the difference this would make in your life?
- It may range from dramatic to subtle to not at all, depending on the particular person and interaction.
- But you know you will feel more confident, interesting and attractive and have lots more opportunities and choices in social situations.
When Pheromones Go Wrong
Overdose? Will it make a very sexy person sexier? There are situations where a little is good and a whole lot is not as good. (Happens with regular fragrances, too, doesn't it?) If you are already a great 'alpha' male or female, adding pheromones to your chemistry may intimidate several members of the opposite sex or bring out aggressivenss in the members of the same sex as as they unconsciously react to the challenge you present.
- See, a few Casanovas have been using this thing to get positive response from the ladies.
- What i really like about this method is that not an awful lot of guys are aware of its existence.
- In fact, I just came to know about that rather recently...
So this leads me to ask you this question: Want to possess high success rate when attracting the particular ladies?
- Some say that the pheromones when they were tested elevated the interest of the opposite gender.
- These were tested by Abc news and WebMD in two separate studies.
- It makes sense that wearing the chemical that attracts someone to you would work.
They can cause very negative and incredibly positive affects depending on what you are looking for.
- The different types of chemical substances can be used in either positive or negative ways.
- Aggression, territorial, and also alarm chemical compounds are all released through the human sweat gland.
This method offer folks with average appearance (like me!) a larger chance to get attractive girls without much effort especially in the course of the initial method.
- Now, what's this method that can make girls move gaga above you?
- It's very simple.
- Just apply pheromones fragrance on your skin.
Experiment and Have a Blast
Try using the same product for several days in a row and pay attention to the reactions of people around you. Try it on the recommended application level, then vary that - add some extra, don't use quite just as much. Then try another product for a while. And, most good pheromone suppliers will have lots of information and advice in on-line forums and discussion groups.
How They Affect You
One of the more interesting and unexpected effects will be the change in how you feel once you start using the products. Because the pheromones affect you at the same time and the same way they are affecting others, and you will find yourself feeling more attractive and appealing - not a bad side effect to have going into a social situation.
Follow this link -- http://www.pheromonestoattractwomen.info/ for more detailed feedback on what I consider to be the most effective human pheromones perfume for juicing your attraction power.
My other gentlemen, I'm about to reveal to you a very effective method upon steps to make girls like you almost every time and without needing a lot of work on your part!
Introduction Have you actually met someone who did actually have got 'that certain something', that 'radiated confidence' or even 'oozed sexiness'? What would it be like if you suddenly found your self more appealing and also appealing to be with, acquiring more positive attention from everybody you work together with every day? How much would you appreciate in which kind of positive change in the life?
- Remember some companies have outrageously expensive perfumes so buyer beware.
- They will are generally used to inspire thoughts of attraction and warmness in others.
- These perfumes amplify the natural chemicals your body all ready creates.
- There are quiet a few companies that produce these perfumes and colognes that have the actual sexual attractant in them.
- They make it for both men and women.
- Many organizations have a rating system for how strong the product is and have different numbers of this.
- You can find these products either online or in certain specialty stores.
You are looking for a mate or a sexual companion it is a good idea to consider using one of these if you think you do not produce enough of the attractant pheromone. There are a lot of different types and different places to obtain these chemicals. Sometimes it will make another person feel protective towards you or attracted to you.
That's right, although pheromone effects are more pronounced with members of the opposite sex, they do have a non-sexual impact on members of the same sex as well. The net effect is that others will perceive you to be more attractive and pleasant to be around in a number of ways.
Or, If You are a Man that is Always 'Just Friends' With Women
What would it be like to out of the blue be perceived as sexier - someone they just felt compelled to hold, to touch and kiss? Maybe you already come across to the ladies as sexually aggressive - maybe too much so. Won't you choose good every single child radiate the trust, comfort, and warmth that allows them really feel safer around you?
Depending on what chemical is used they have different impacts. There are several different types of these chemicals some inspire alarm, aggression, food response, and sexual responses. These are present in all kinds of animal and pest life although insects have a tendency to use them more than animals or people do. Humans produce them and can purchase all of them as a sexual attractant.
Pheromone is actually a special chemical that is a cross between a special perfume, as well as special hormones that are designed to lure the members of the opposite sex. Therefore, as a result, when a woman smells les phromones which have been created for men, then consequently that woman's primal heart in the brain are certain to get the actual attraction that is required for interest. There is a lot of research going on within the usage of pheromones in perfumes, as many feel that it will allow the opposite sex to get interested. Nevertheless, it is essential to understand that not all pheromones will have the same effect on each person, as the results may be varying for everybody.
How to Obtain Started
Experimentation is the best way to find out what works best for you. Everyone's personal chemistry is different, and your mileage, as they say, will vary. Fortunately there are a number of samplers and beginner kits available and that is where you need to begin with.
- And since the products imitate natural body chemistry, these reactions can be natural and unconscious on the part of those people who are affected.
- Some of the people you meet will be more 'tuned into' the pheromones.
- I have found that a lot of younger ladies in particular are affected and attracted to the products.
- Nice to get which type of attention, isn't it?
The pheromones perfume that I currently use offers dramatically increase my attraction factor thus I find it so much easier to draw girls nowadays.
- Anyone who is in sales, or has a lot of public contact will take advantage of using pheromones.
- And, the advantages to be able to someone who will be dating and socializing are obvious.
- Or even, you might be thinking that you want to rekindle the flame and add some excitement to your existing relationships.
What they will not do - a reality check So, will people be driven to you like a magnet from across the room, or crowd around you in order to bask in your presence? Maybe, but not likely.
Who Uses All of Them, Who Must Make Use of Them
By now you have figured out that pheromones are not just for dating and sexual attraction. You may already remember that psychological research has shown that attractive people are more successful in all areas of life.
That is How Much When You are Using Pheromones
But, are you afraid you need a degree in chemistry to understand these kinds of products? Well, you don't, because this can be a non-chemist's guide to personal chemistry. I will explain all you need to know so that you can have a great time finding the magic formula that will take your social relationships to another location stage - right now!
The kind of pheromone products you will decide to buy depends on the indicators you want to send. There are many formulations on the market, that can generally can be classified according to their desired effect. Depending on this particular, they fall into these groups: Sexual stimulants and attractants (make you more sexy) Warm and fluffy (make you much more friendly, huggable, people have to get close to you) Man of the house (dominant but not necessarily sexual) Trust in a bottle (create trust as well as rapport along with members of either sex)
By the Numbers
Here is how pheromones works for you: Let's assume that you are a woman that guys might rate 7 on their attractiveness scale. What would it be like for you if you are out of the blue perceived as a 8 or 8.5? Just what if you were a 5 and could all of a sudden be perceived as a 6.5 or 7?
What are Pheromones and How Will They Affect Others?
Think of them as fragrances that are designed not only to smell good, but also to be able to impact people in a subtle and unconscious way - the same way you would be affected by being close to a very attractive person.
Sounds good? Alright now, I emphasize the word "almost" here because there are certain requirements that we must meet in order to make this method work near flawlessly.
- Will each and every member of the opposite sex be hopelessly drawn to you?
- Not necessarily - some people just can't handle being around a very attractive person.
- Their reaction may be to 'freeze or flee' when you are just too hot to handle.
- Overall, a nice problem to own, not think?
Of course, when you are integrating fragrances with pheromone along with a special perfume, next it is essential to make sure that is created by a professional organization which has the necessary expertise in such a creation. That is why some perfume companies are more popular than other people, because there is a lot of interest for possessing specific perfumes. Just about all men and women that use perfumes know that they will feel special when it comes to using that fragrance. Even for perfumes which do not have a pheromone, they can still be very effective on the opposite sex, as long as the scent is special. Obviously, it is also important to make sure that the perfume is compatible with your skin. Sometimes, no matter how much good quality fragrance that you might use, your skin type may be sensitive to be able to a particular perfume and as a result, there will not match ups. It is possible to look for assorted different scents with various phromones and various scents.
Almost all socially mindful men and women in the world are busy with using scents with a special perfume, so that they can show on their own in their atmosphere. The power of perfumes and having a special fragrance has been known for many centuries especially in France and in all over Europe. As a result, there are many different fragrances all over the world, that are around for the men as well as women with any place. Nevertheless, with the arrival of technology, it has become more probable then actually these more advanced perfumes that have a special fragrance. The sort of development that has come up is the presence of pheromones.
Okay Regarding the Criteria..
You have to look okay enough on the eyes... If you have average appears, that's totally fine! Seriously, if you possess a chick magnets kind of look, why on earth would you concern yourself with steps to make girls like you, right?
You can get these types of attractants from several different companies. There are perfumes, lotions, and body washes the contain these chemical compounds. These are made to attract the opposite gender. They work by giving you more of the scent that makes you attractive. Wearing them you are said to be more apparent or more approachable.
- Will the thing is a dramatic improvement in your love life?
- Probably, but that is largely up to you.
- But, you will have plenty of the possibility to enhance this using these products!
Made women more open and flirtatious with me. Pheromones perfume is also an ideal ice-breaker tool Use it sparingly in order to ensure that you no longer have to be concerned how to make girls like you.
Be sure to maintain an interesting conversation once you get the girl "in the zone." That's why I contact this method "the ultimate icing on the cake". After using it as well as the attraction sets in you need to have something interesting in order to talk about or things may not go as smoothly as you'd like...
Bottom Line
Do they work and dark beer worth it? Absolutely!!!

first published on December 1, 2015 by Funker
A group of Australian operators come into contact as they extract from a position. Their response to the incoming rounds is near perfect.
A well executed extraction from a special operations task group out of Australia. As these operators begin their extract, they are already under fire. They move towards the sound of chaos, and complete one of the smoothest under fire extractions I have ever witnessed.
This video starts off at full throttle, and it doesn't let up until these operators insert at a fresh LZ. Take note from beginning, to end, all of the actions these guys are taking.
Somewhere around 10 seconds into the video, the extract helicopter touches down under fire. As the wheels of the aircraft touchdown, the operators pick up their rates of fire to cover the aircraft. 26 seconds after wheels down, the first of the group is at the ramp of the aircraft, laying down suppressing fire for their buddies. 45 seconds into the extract, all of the rifles are in the fight at the ramp of the helicopter, covering and protecting the automatic weapons as they load. The second the first weapon starts firing out of the aircraft, the rifles start to load up.
The total time from wheels down, to troops loaded, was about one minute. It doesn't get much cleaner than that.

2016 - the year of the series
My first book of 2016 is going to be The Gunslinger, by Stephen King. I'm determined to finish the series this year. Previously, I think I read up to about book three? Many years ago, though.
And that got me thinking about how I'm absolutely awful at finishing series. Just. Terrible. I'll read book one of something, think "wow, that's great" and then never read book two. It's frustrating. So I declare 2016 to be The Year of the Series.
In addition to The Dark Tower, I'm going to read the Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb. I read book one last year, and loved it. And once again ... didn't seek out book two. I have the trilogy now, so I have no excuse.
I'm also going to read Ann Leckie's Imperial Radch trilogy. Once again, I've read the first one ... you see the pattern here. I loved Ancillary Justice but need to re-read it, I think.
That's three. There's seven books (eight if you count The Wind Through the Keyhole) in the Dark Tower series; three in the Imperial Radch series, and three in the Farseer series (I'm aware that there's a boatload more in that universe but I'm starting at the very start).
I need two more, and I want them both to be by writers of colour. Hrmmmm ... *googles*
Right. So I'm adding The Inheritance series by N K Jemisin and also the Xenogenesis series by Octavia E. Butler - once again, I read book one of that series last year and never followed up.
