Busworld Kortrijk 2016 – Coaches
Busworld Kortrijk 2016 – Coaches
Originally more a coach show than a bus show, the balance of the Busworld exhibition, staged last week in Kortrijk, Belgium, has changed over the years. Europe's, and almost certainly the world's, biggest event dedicated entirely to bus and coach, it attracts manufacturers from all over the world with a growing Chinese presence. Bigger every year, this year it filled nine halls and was augmented by a large number of demonstration vehicles outside, many of which were available for evaluation. In this report we will try to bring you some of the highlights. Stuart Jones will be looking at coaches and David Cole at buses, where the emphasis was very strongly on alternative propulsion systems, especially electrical ones. We'll save coverage of some of the many trade stands for a later issue.
Irizar was making a strong statement about the changing nature of its business with every vehicle displayed of integral manufacture. One third of production is now accounted for by integrals.
Can it really be 14 years since the Irizar PB first made its appearance? Well all good things come to an end and, amid much ceremony, with dancers, singers, acrobats and a lone violinist to assist the senior management, the new Irizar i8 was unveiled to take its place as the flagship of the range. A styling evolution rather than a revolution as the PB was, from a distance the i8 looks a lot like the PB but when you get up close to it you realise that it is a completely new design with a new screen incorporating marker lights at the top, a new characteristic V moulding in the front panel, a greatly increased luggage capacity, a slimmed down feature pillar, a really well thought out driver's area, fully multiplex body and driveline systems, a wider door and entrance step arrangement, a folding staircase step as standard and light and rain sensors. The i8's special seats, finishes and equipment won't be offered in the i6 and you can't have i6 seats in the i8. Very firmly located at the top end of the market, the i8 is, 'a luxury tourist vehicle for long journeys, regular lines and other special services, equipped with the most advanced technology on the market.'
Development has seen €20m spent, of which half was specifically for the i8 and half for technological systems that will be carried over to the rest of the range. The use of stronger steels has enabled the weight to be lowered, all body panels are composites or aluminium, the aerodynamics have been improved, alloy wheels are standard and the oil change interval has been extended to 100,000km, all of which should help to reduce cost of ownership. Only one height is being offered and that is 3.8m (which is 3.98m over the air conditioning). There are four length options: 12.4m on two axles and 13.22m, 14.07m and 15.0m on three axles and the longest versions are close to a tonne lighter than the chassis mounted versions that will also be offered. High or low mounted centre toilets can be fitted and there is also a rear saloon toilet option. Seats can be 2+2, 2+1 or 1+1 according to customer's choice and the floor is always flat.
I'm told that the price will be approximately 7% more than that of a fully loaded i6 equivalent, though it won't be possible to specify an i6 to the same level. Both the integral and chassis mounted versions will be available at approximately the same time and right hand drive orders have been taken for both. Steve O'Neill of Irizar UK confirmed that the UK will be offering the 13.2m and 14.07m models with six of the longer variant already sold. Clarkes of London, Stewarts and Ellisons will each take two for football club work.
I understand that the PB will continue to be offered for the next 12 months for those left hand customers that want it, but there won't be any more integral versions in the UK.
Van Hool dedicated the whole of its stand to coaches, which was slightly surprising given how extensive the range of bus products it offers is. The big story was the unveiling of the first tri-axle versions of the Paccar/DAF MX340 powered EX range, which follow on from the two-axle models launched at the IAA in Hanover last year. With more than 100 of the stainless steel framed EX coaches sold and more than 40 two-axle EX15H and EX16M models already on the road, the new options are the 13m EX16H and 14m EX17H, the latter giving a maximum capacity of 65 passengers. They are supplied in right hand drive through Arriva.
The EX is built at the new plant in Macedonia which has an annual capacity of 600 units and has already delivered 800 coaches, the majority of them so far for North America (where Van Hool is number one in the market with a 38% share). With the EX it is now also building for Europe, and one of the four examples shown was the first right hand drive EX16H for the UK, shown in an Arriva demonstration livery, although all of the other coaches on the stand were in customer colours. A concern with new plants in far away places is whether the quality will be up to the mark but the finish of the Macedonian vehicles was at least the match of those built in Belgium.
The TX range remains very much part of Van Hools offering and a wide selection was shown, including the TX11 Alicron, TDX29 Astromega, TX16 Acron, TX17 Altano and TX17 Astronef with its sloping window line. A new option is the availability of the Allison B525R automatic transmission in conjunction with the MX13 engine, an option I understand that was prompted by a request from De Zigeuner but is proving popular with other customers. An example was available for test drives.
Van Hool's main coach offering in the USA was the CX45, which has been joined this year by the shorter CX35 model and the TDX25 Astromega. In a speech, Fillip Van Hool revealed that 1,050 Astromegas had been delivered to Europe and North America over the past five years. Recent deliveries include 37 for Souter Invest in Finland and 40 on Scania chassis for Germany. 2016 will see 16 Euro6 TDX24 Astromegas delivered to Japan for customers including Hato Bus.
There was considerable interest in coach developments on the Volvo stand though there weren't actually any brand new models. What caused the stir was the launch of the new Volvo Dynamic Steering (VDS) system which Volvo claim substantially improves directional stability, comfort and safety, as well as significantly reducing the risk of occupational injury. Already offered on trucks, VDS is being integrated into the Volvo 9500, 9700 and 9900 as well as chassis with eight or 11 litre engines for Euro6. It utilises an electrically operated motor, attached to the steering shaft and: 'Working in tandem with the hydraulic power steering, the electric motor is modulated by the electronic control unit thousands of times a second. At low speeds, the electric motor generates additional power, while at high speeds the steering is automatically regulated, compensating for irregularities which pass up to the steering wheel, from grooves or hollows in the road surface.' Cyril Kenzie went for a ride on a test coach and after seeing how easy it was for the driver to control told me that it was 'magic'.
I'm including the new Scania Interlink in my coach review because, under the strapline 'Specially designed for everything' the range will grow to include a number of more obviously coach type models, indeed the Finnish built model will ultimately replace the existing OmniExpress range in the UK, though I believe these models will have different styling. First out of the blocks is the Interlink LD, which is nominally 3.2m high although the gas tanks on the CNG powered exhibit take the height to 3.60m. The medium (MD) and high deck (HD) versions will follow. It was shown as a 12.2m long dual door 49 seater with Scania's five-cylinder, nine-litre, 235kW (320hp) gas engine. The transmission is the ZF 6AP 1400B EcoLife fully automatic. Length options are 11m to 15m, with the maximum on two axles being 13.2m, the centre door position is variable and the interior has a shallower sunken aisle than on previous generations. Also shown on the stand was the 13.7m three-axle version of the Scania Touring, which is bodied for Scania by Higer in China and is already available in the UK. It had 57 seats and the 13-litre 450hp engine. Scania will also be offering the Irizar i8 on its chassis in the UK alongside the i6 and UK MD, Tony Tomsett, confirmed that orders for the model had already been taken.
Temsa has been quiet in Europe in recent years, partly because the Turkish market has been buoyant, but there appears to be a new commitment to the European market from the company. We have already seen the latest versions of the HD12 and MD9 launched in the UK and in addition to these the extensive line up displayed included the MD7 mini/midicoach and the new top of the range Maraton coach, which is also the name that was given to the very first coach model Temsa ever developed, back in the 1980s. The first Temsa with a high floor (it is 3.9m high) it is being offered at 12m and 13m. A flat floor is standard and the 12m offers 13 cubic metres of luggage I was told. It will go into production alongside the HD12 and will be offered in both Turkey and Europe with a DAF MX11 440hp engine and ZF AS-Tronic transmission. Asked about a right hand drive version, a spokesman said, 'Why not'.
The MD7 is 7.74m long, 3.35m high and 2.4m wide and offers 4.4 cu.m of luggage. Equipped with a 180hp engine, in appearance it resembles the MD9 but it seats only 33 and the show model had a side mounted lift.
VDL's major launch was the new Futura FDD2-141/510 double decker which we featured in B&CB issue 1344 (11 September 2015). It grows on me every time I experience other double deck coaches. I can stand upright easily on both decks, the luggage space is easy to use, the staircases are easy to use and the lighter colours used inside make for an attractive interior.
The latest addition to the single deck Futura FHD2 range is the FMD2-135 two-axle 13.5m coach which accommodates up to 61 VDL Class 100 seats. This wasn't shown, though the tri-axle FHD139/460 was. It cannot be bought in the UK yet because we are not yet allowed the forthcoming 19.5tonne GVW limit. VDL have uprated the front axle to a 7.5-tonne capacity and use a special Michelin tyre to get the capacity. Also on the stand was the mid-height Futura FMD2-129/370 which has recently won the IBC Economy award.
The International Coach of the Year 2014 is the Iveco Magelys, as you will already have read in these pages. As Jury Chairman I presented the award to Sylvain Blaise, head of Iveco Bus, on the first press day. It's an attractive coach and the Iveco Cursor 9 engine does not require EGR to achieve the Euro6 emissions regulations. Iveco has just signed a sponsorship deal with the All Blacks rugby team and the Magelys shown, built in France, was adorned with their colours. It was perhaps unfortunate that the French international team was comprehensively outplayed by the New Zealanders on the Saturday night of the show period. Sadly, you still can't buy an Iveco coach bigger than a Daily in the UK.
Unvi's four vehicle display included a right hand drive 8.96m Voyager GT and an 8.5m Iveco Daily based Compa T 31 seater, as well as an Urbis open top bodied Volvo B5TL double decker with a fully glazed top deck front screen that looked as if it might present decency issues for people in skirts or kilts. The B5 Urbis can be offered in the UK, the first examples have recently joined the Bath Bus Company. A new offering, named the Sil after a Galician river, was a 14m double deck tri-axle coach on a MAN RR4 tria-xle chassis with D2676-LOH31 480hp (353kW) engine. Ordered for use by the Swedish operator, Trosabussen for a service between Trosa and Stockholm, it was unusual in having the second staircase some way beyond the front door which you would think would make the passenger flow difficult. Swedish regulations permit 4.2m high coaches and this was built to this dimension with 73 seats. Maximum luggage capacity can be 9.0 cu.m though this had 6.3 cu.m.
The massive Yutong operation anticipates building 70,000 buses of all sizes next year and its aim is to be number one in Europe within five years, which is certainly ambitious. They are represented in the UK by Pelican Bus & Coach whose representatives were present in force to welcome the many British operators attending. MD, Richard Crump, introduced me to Roger Zhou, who said that it was always Yutong's way to go very slowly at the beginning, send vehicles for markets tests, and then undertake modifications to the designs to meet local requirements. It had developed electric buses ten years ago but only started volume production last year when 1,400 were built. By September over 8,000 had been sold this year in China.
The UK is already familiar with Yutong's TC9 and TC12, but a surprise was the new flagship HTC12, shown as a 12.25m long, 3.82m high, two-axle coach with quite a European look about it. Powered by the 10.84-litre DAF MX11-320 developing 320kW (435hp) at 1,700rpm, it has the ZF AS-Tronic 12AS-2301BO transmission. It seated 48 on contoured seats with lifting headrests incorporating foldable wings and a side slide facility. Spheros air conditioning featured along with variable multi coloured mood lighting in five colours. There were some areas that could be improved including sturdier decency screens and improved toilet access but it had a lot of promise. When the UK gets a tri-axle Yutong, probably toward the end of next year, it will be a development of this design.
As well as the TC and HTC coaches, there are IC10, IC12 and IC13 inter city models and the EC10, EC12 and EC13 schoolbus models which are offered in France through the Dietrich Carebus organisation which had massive success with Temsa products when it first started selling in Europe.
Xiamen Golden Dragon Bus Company was formed in 1992. I first saw the Explorer body on a Scania chassis at a Busworld Asia Show in Shanghai in the mid 2000s at which time it appeared one of the best offerings from the Chinese manufacturers. At Kortrijk it was shown as an all Golden Dragon built 12.2m long coach featuring a lot of recent enhancements and with power provided by the FPT (Iveco) Cursor 9 SCR-only engine which delivers 294kW (400hp) and 1,700Nm. Maximum seating capacity is 57 passengers and the luggage hold of the high floor coach can be up to 12.8 cubic metres. Some 250 FPT powered Golden Dragon vehicles have been supplied to Israel. To my mind, the XML6121J displayed outside was more visually appealing than the rather heavy look of the Explorer.
Among the buses on the King Long stand was a C9 coach. This was just under 9.0m long and 3.435m high over the air conditioning with seating for 35 provided. It was powered by a Euro6 Cummins ISB 6.7E6 310 engine delivering 231kW (314hp) at 2,300rpm and torque of 1,100Nm at 1,200rpm.
While we are talking about Chinese manufacturers, although BYD did not have a coach product on its stand it is very clear that it sees possibilities for it in the coach sector, as MD, Isbrand Ho explained to me. Using the same driveline as a BYD Bus, a coach travelling at a higher average speed would require energy and might extend the range from 260km to 300-330km. The company was already working on the methodology and calculating how much charging would be required.
Beulas exhibited three coaches illustrating the breadth of their range, which is now marketed by the associated Moseley companies in the UK. The smallest was a 27-seat, 7.5m long, 3.15m high Gianino (Stela in the UK) mounted on an MAN chassis, while the longest was a 13.2m long Glory overdeckers on a tri-axle MAN chassis. It seated 53 passengers though 64 is possible.
Indcar exhibited alongside Vehixel with whom they work closely. The Next coach, offered in the UK through Moseley on the Mercedes-Benz Atego 10 and 12 tonne chassis, is also available in Europe on an MAN platform.
The MAN line-up no longer includes the Starliner but to demonstrate that the company can still produce coaches with a special ambience it showed examples of the Cityliner and double deck Skyliner that had been finished at the Plauen facility where the Starliner was formerly built. The only member of the Neoplan family now sold in the UK is the Tourliner and a 13.8m long Tourliner L model with 2+1 seating for 33 was shown outside.
The Mercedes-Benz and Setra vehicles on the Daimler stand had been seen before at the pre-IAA event in Stuttgart. They included the 10,000th Travego and the 10,000th second generation Tourismo, both of which were triaxles, as well as an Intouro M and a Sprinter City65 low entry minibus. For Setra the line-up included a TopClass S431DT double decker, the TopClass S516HDH the Comfort Class S511HD and the S415 LE Business (which is built in Turkey). Various other vehicles of both brands appeared outside.
Two double deckers appeared on the Ayats, one a two-axle open topper and the other a tri-axle coach. I believe the liveries indicated that 2015 is the 110th anniversary of the company's origins. Unfortunately I couldn't find anyone on the stand to talk to.
Although Solaris did once build the Vacanza coach, which had a rising roof line, the company now specialises in buses, so the showing of a concept midicoach on its stand was something of a surprise, the more so because it is mounted on a British built DAF LF chassis. Essentially for school and feeder operations, no decision has yet been made about whether it will enter serial production. 2.38m wide and 3.14m high over the air conditioning, lengths of 8.2m or 9.6m are envisaged with a maximum of 39 passengers and a maximum GVW of 12 tonnes. The engine was described as the Paccar PX-5 4.5-litre with a choice of three power outputs (152hp, 184hp & 213hp).
Mark Noone showed me round the Turas stand which housed three coaches, including a Turas 900 that was attracting a lot of interest. People initially assume it is Sprinter based but it is actually mounted on the Mercedes-Benz Atego 921L. The exhibit was one of six for Bernard Kavanagh of Urlingford, two of which, including the show coach, have rear mounted saloon toilets and seating for 29 rather than the usual 33. Also shown were an Iveco Daily 70C17 mounted Turas 700 with 29 Sege seats and a sliding last row seating arrangement for flexibility in luggage handling and a left hand drive Turas 500 on a Sprinter 519CDi chassis with 16 seats for a Swedish customer.
There were a tremendous number of Sprinter conversions shown by converters that included well established names but also others I had not previously heard of and I confess I did not manage to get round them all, often simply because the team were already busy when I called.

Rated 5 out of 5 by FragranceFun from Eye Opening Though not having sampled UNTOLD Eau Fraîche I ordered it from EL based on the fragrance notes listed, and I was not at all disappointed. This is an invigorating green scent that isn't spicy, but certainly woody with hints of soft florals. This is quite different from the luxurious White Tea for this evokes a sense of morning freshness. I rather enjoy it, and hope to see a lotion for layering.

Hello. I asked the question if Untold Eau Fraiche is the same as previous Eau Fraiche, and was answered that it is. I want to ensure I understand correctly: This is the same fragrance as the original EA Body Basics and Eau Fraiche from the 1980s?
While have tried to keep the fragrance as true to the original as possible, it's likely that some modification or enhancement has been made to it over the years. We hope you try it and find it to be the same fragrance you love so much.
Date published: 2019-05-17
Is Untold Eau Fraiche the same/similar to previous Eau Fraiche (and previous Body Basics)?
Hello, KimT! It certainly is the same original fragrance, just with a renewed package.

Laws are now being abused to protect something. But what?
"In September, some 20 scientists asked President Obama to use a law made to fight the mafia—RICO—in order to counter "corporations and other organizations that have knowingly deceived the American people about the risks of climate change."
However, many of the letter's signers are professors at public universities like George Mason University in Virginia. Does this mean they used public funds to demonize people opposed to their ideas?" click here

RegenOrthoSport's Stem Cell & Platelet Rich Plasma Procedures are discovered non-surgical stem-cell treatments for people suffering from pain in the knee as a result of typical injuries to the ACL or MCL, cartilage, knee meniscus, or the victims who are going through degenerative conditions like as osteoarthritis.
Arthroscopic knee surgery to fix ligament tears or a knee pain treatment with joint replacement are conventional alternatives for patients suffering from these conditions. With both these knee treatment surgeries, months of rehab is required, and the patient must be aware of and prepared to take on the risks associated with it. As an alternative, the RegenOrtho Same-Day procedures help in alleviating pain in knee that cause it with a simple office injection procedure.

The published research on Regenexx procedures accounts for approx. 44% of the world's orthopedic stem cell literature (cumulative n of patients published & treated with bone marrow stem cells as of 1/1/2019)
Stephanie's Regenexx Story
After two knee surgeries and loss of cartilage, knee pain took away everything from Stephanie. After her Regenexx stem cell procedure with Dr. Venkatesh Movva in Dallas, Texas, she was able to return to teaching Jazzercise and doing the things she loved. This is her story.
How Regenexx Procedures Work
Stem Cell Treatments
Same Day Stem Cell Protocol
Adult stem cells are the cells from your own body which can restore themselves and transform into other cells (modify). They exist inside all of us in different tissues, collected to spring into action for repairing damage when it occurs. As we grow old or have significant injuries, we might not be able to obtain plenty of these stem cells to the site to completely repair the affected area. Regenexx Stem Cell Procedures aid the process of overcoming this problem through the extraction of stem cells from an abundant area and then concentrating these cells by reinjecting them into the affected area to allow the body naturally heal. The Patented Stem Cell Procedures at RegenOrthoSport can be used for a broad array of conditions and are the medium of choice for arthritis, injuries, and other conditions that might be more vital than what may be employed with our Platelet Lysate Procedures or Platelet Rich Plasma.
Blood Platelet Treatments
Super Concentrated Platelet Rich Plasma & Advanced Platelet Lysate Procedures
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet Lysate Injection Treatments include healing growth components from your blood that increase your body's natural ability to repair itself. The use of PRP to improve joint, tendon, ligament and muscle injuries is becoming well known, thanks to exposure from professional athletes. Platelet injection treatments are useful because they have a stimulating impact on the stem cells in the targeted area, which makes these stem cells operate harder to heal the damaged tissues. Our Advanced Platelet Procedures are extra refined and concentrated than those generated by the automated machines used at most of the regenerative medicine polyclinics. Platelet procedures are generally used for mild arthritis, soft tissue injuries, and spine conditions.
Your Alternative to Knee Surgery
For those dealing with painful knees issue, surgical options vary from arthroscopic knee surgery to total knee joint replacement. Recent researches have revealed that some of the most popular arthroscopic surgeries have no benefit at all (including meniscus surgery). The knee replacement procedure is hugely traumatic and carries new-found risks of toxic wear particles are entering the bloodstream. Surgical risks aside, all surgeries minimally require months of painful rehab to regain strength and mobility. Most operations also accelerate the cascade of degeneration that leads to osteoarthritis.
Surgery is sometimes the obvious solution for severe cases, and we acknowledge that stem cells cannot treat everything. However, we have seen impressive results on severe cases, such as complete muscle and ligament tears, and we have helped thousands of patients with severe arthritis avoid knee replacement and continue to do the things they love with little or no pain. Most Regenexx patients experience little or no downtime from their procedure and are encouraged to return to activity as they begin to feel bet.
Common Knee Conditions
Knee replacement surgery comes with many serious risks and complications, but is often considered to be a straightforward and accepted approach to treatment for those suffering from significant arthritis or injury in this joint. Before you consider knee replacement, learn what Regenexx can do for you and download our free report.
Meniscus Tears
Meniscus tears are one of the most common injuries we treat. The last option anyone should consider for treating a meniscus injury is the surgical removal of all or some of this important structure. Click below to learn why Regenexx is likely a better choice than meniscus surgery.
ACL Tears
Knee ACL tears are a very common injury. The rush to surgery has long been due to the traditional thinking that an ACL will not heal. Our experience treating ACL tears with the Regenexx patented stem cell treatment has shown that it may be a better option for those who have experienced a partial or complete non-retracted ACL tear.
Free Report: 10 Rarely Discussed Facts About Joint Replacement Surgery
Knee and hip replacement surgeries come with many risks and complications. Several years ago we queried the National Sampling System for Medicare and found that in the year 2008 alone, there were 17,500 serious complications related to knee replacement surgery resulting in 5,000 patient deaths.
If joint replacement is an option for you, please take the time to read this report. These 10 facts come from the Regenexx website. Our goal is to provide information that will help you make the right choice for you.

Amalfitain Coast and Sorrento
The Amalfitain Coast or Costiera Amalfitana is a stunning coastline set along the rugged mountains and winds down the western coast of Italy from Sorrento to Salerno in the region of Campania.
This is one of the most requested tours. Especially for shore excursions. It lasts 8/9 hours stopping in Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi. Our speaking English driver, Eddy, will drive along the coast trhough many miles of hairpin turns offering spectacular vistas with changing views of landscapes. Rocks plunging vertically in to the clear sea, charming fishing villages, with brightly colored boats set in the small harbors, vibrant vegetation and colorful flowering plants, houses and hotels nestled high in the rocks above the winding coastline all contrasting dramatically with the brilliant blues of the Mediterranean waters.
First stop is in Sorrento to have an orientation tour of the village. Poets and writers have described Sorrento as the land of colors and mermaids. Sorrento is indeed a very pretty city where kindness and hospitality are a combination that is handed down from one generation to the next.
Sorrento historical centre is the ideal place for buying local souvenirs: Typical hand-crafted marquetry, hand-stitched tablecloths, coloured handmade sandals, distilleries and local gastronomic products.
The inlaid wooden marquetry realized by the Sorrentine artisans, they patiently and skill fully decorate wooden objects with delicate inlays creating a variety of patterns and colours. Their workshops are lined with piles of small boxes pressed into clamps,then  put out in open air for the  glue to dry in the sun. This gives character and colour to the streets making pleasant to walk all around the old town.
As we make our way to Amalfi, we will stop in Positano from above and glimpse its buildings clinging to the rocks. Positano is a vertical village. Houses are organized as a coloured cascade along the hills. They are built on the rocks and look towards the blue sea, the narrow streets and the clean and nice beaches. We reach Amalfi for a visit, whose origins date back to both the Roman and Byzantine Empires. It once rivaled Genoa and Pisa in its maritime importance, still retains its fishing traditions today and is also known as the home of handmade paper. The first view of Amalfi is unforgettable, with its tightly packed villas and palaces seeming to tumble down the cliff side into the fishing port and beach below. In the main square of Amalfi we find the majestic Cathedral dedicated to St. Andrew.
According to the time we can reach Ravello . Ravello is a very quiet and chic village known all over the world for its wonderful panorama that once enchanted Richard Wagner and the great Greta Garbo.
The day tour will be full of unforgettable emotions from the beginning to the end. You will meet local people and will listening to their stories of common life and will taste local food: lemons, limoncello, fresh fish and sweet cakes. Don't wait. Come and join us!

Harness Construction Risk Management For Better Profits
Construction risk management opens up new possibilities in profits because what you don't lose to risky business is like finding money. Insurance can't make up for contract clauses that stack the deck against you, and if risk doesn't hold a top place in your planning, you'll have a tough time overcoming its effects.
Construction risk management often seems like an effort in futility. After all, projects overflow with risk and that's on top of dealing with everyday business risks. And, if you don't feel like you're keeping up with risk, you're not alone.
While 73 percent of executives feel that risks to their companies are on the rise, companies in general are not meeting the increased risks with improved risk management. In fact, only 12 percent of responding companies demonstrated qualities that marked them as true risk management leaders, according to a PwC U.S. risk review in 2015.
The Litany of Risks
For every construction business, risk is like a hot potato, and it's handled that way. So, construction has more than its fair share of companies shouldering risks not directly under their control. Meanwhile, developers and large construction companies remain above it as they use their power to push risks down the chain. Contractual risks in construction are systemic, and mostly hurt construction small businesses.
Safety issues, environmental issues, unknown conditions, unreliable project participants, nefarious owners, weather, changing politics, changing economics and other business and project aspects round out the risk landscape. It's a tough scenario for any business, let alone a small one. But, there are ways to come out on top.
It's All in How You Think About It
PwC's report was based on responses from 1,200 senior executives and board members. Those companies with effective risk management tended to view risk as a way to improve performance and growth. Over three years, 55 percent of risk management leaders increased their profit margins, and 41 percent achieved annual profit margins of more than 10 percent.
"Risks are increasing dramatically and executives are constantly faced with making decisions to protect their businesses, while also trying to improve their financial performance," said Dean Simone, leader of PwC's U.S. Risk Assurance practice. "By integrating risk management into the business life cycle, these two objectives can easily come together to work in unison. Developing an effective strategy requires investment, but the payoff and competitive advantage can be enormous."
So, What Are the Leaders Doing?
Risk management leaders differentiate themselves from poor risk managers in these ways.
They clearly see how various risks interconnect with each other and how they cascade. So, they use aggregated views of risks when deciding how to handle them.
These leaders aren't risk averse, and are willing to take risks for growth. They look at both risks and opportunities to decide where to focus.
Their risk management programs align with their company wide strategic planning. Finance, internal audit and corporate compliance are deeply integrated.
They are proactive and use sophisticated risk management tactics. That allows them to plan for risk, instead of reacting to it. They also use a variety of tools in their analysis. They identify and forecast emerging risks, they scan the horizon and early-warning indicators, and they build resilience to risk. They're also using new analytics systems so it's easier to bring disparate data together for new insights.
The key to raising your business' risk intelligence is a deliberate approach that links risk management to the business, and to strategic planning. You need a deep understanding of your company's risk interconnections and risk appetite. Finally, it's important to monitor and report consistently. You need the insights when they are fresh so you can get in front of growing and emerging risks, and see the threats and opportunities clearly.

Praise ye the Lord. Praise the Lord O my soul. While I live I will praise the Lord: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being. Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. His breath goes forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God. Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is; which keepeth truth forever. Which executeth judgment for the oppressed, which giveth food to the hungry. The Lord looseth the prisoners. The Lord openeth the eyes of the blind; the Lord raiseth them that are bowed down; the Lord loveth the righteous. The Lord preserveth the strangers; He relieveth the fatherless and widow; but the way of the wicked He turneth upside down. The Lord shall reign forever, even Thy God, O Zion, unto all generations.
Praise ye the Lord.
Psalm 146
Today's Read: Psalm 146; Psalm 148
God made.
God keeps.
God executes.
God gives.
God looses.
God opens.
God raises.
God loves.
God preserves.
God relieves.
God turns upside down.
God reigns.
God is a "verb" God.
He is busy ...
Activating and making good on His promises.
Read the sample list I've recorded from this Psalm and consider the compilation of verbs afforded God.
The words ascribed to God are notable, powerful, and impossibly over-achieving ... to man.
They are not Sunday "niceties" to be sung and left in the pews.
They are not "cliches" to be declared at funerals and appropriated at mealtimes.
They are truthful "realities" to be "lived out" in our every day lives.
The "verb" God desires that His children become "verb" children.
Not talkers ... but doers.
Not suggesting and speaking about things like truth, grace, and praise;
Living out truth and grace ... and praise.
Praising God always.
Look at the first and last words of this Psalm:
Packaged between the lines of "praise" that are to flow out of man are the promises and provisions God has prepared for man.
Read God's "verb" list over again and note the way He tackles every arena of life:
Relationally, Emotionally, Mentally, Physically, Financially, Spiritually.
God is the "package" of everything in-between in this life;
The parcel delivered to hungry, needy, searching, inquiring, desperate souls.
Hmmm ...
God fills us with every provision from above and sandwiches it between what we are to return to Him:
Pure earnest praise ... no matter what comes.
Job knew it.
Daniel knew it.
David knew it.
Paul knew it.
All the Saints of old knew that power from heaven was derived through praise on earth.
You have this moment.
You have this truth.
Now do it.
Three Study Suggestions:
1) Read today's Psalm and find a correlating one which speaks to praising God.
2) Pray for a "caution flag" to rise in your heart when you are tempted to speak critically, negatively, or wrongly in "today." Make it your goal to give "praise" to God in the words you speak.
3) Bend your knees and try praising God from that place. A bent posture affords an extraordinary view of God.

What Makes the MRR Software Unique?
We have seen many changes taking place with technology recently. There is no denying that technology has managed to improve many things. There is still room for technology to grow more.
The majority of the businesses have also managed to grow and become better through technology. Technology has also opened doors for more businesses. Experts agree that the world is not going to be the same in the next few years.
It has become mandatory for any business today to ensure that they have a working IT department. If you are running a small business, you may not be able to maintain this department.
The IT departments cost most businesses thousands of dollars to keep them running. That's why most of the businesses would include these costs in their annual budgets.
Since a small business may be having problems growing, it would be uneconomical to have used most of the money paying technicians all the time. It would be a bad decision for a small business to try and maintain this department as it tries to expand.
Fortunately, there is always a solution to the problem. It has been proven that outsourcing is the best solution for any company that is trying to grow. When you look around, you will notice that the number of companies that are known for providing these services has been growing.
These companies are known for offering the remote monitoring and management services. The only way that these companies are able to get these things done is through the use of the RMM Software. The technicians are able to use the software to collect the information and the status of the client's IT system. If there is a problem, it usually sends a signal back to the technicians who take action to resolve any issues.
When you look at the data, you can agree that the MSP Monitoring software has been very helpful. You can be able to monitor more devices at once through the use of this software. The software has managed to make the entire traveling process a thing of the past as you can handle the problem from your computer.
The use of the best network monitoring software will help the IT department of the company to stay afloat all the time. It will also ensure that the results are transmitted in real time and that the solution is discovered even before a client is aware there was a problem.
There have been some serious changes to the technology world. The future seems to be very great for technology. There is still more to get from technology.

AMP Limitations And Advantages
Hello Everyone, in this article we will discuss about AMP Limitations And Advantages. AMP stands for Accelerated Mobile Pages. It is a recent google technology which makes access of a web page lightening fast. Google creates cache of the respective web page and delivers it at their end. In google search results, google prioritizes amp search results over normal web page results.
This could be the next big breakthrough in web development in order to get larger audience on lower prices. Though being a great technology, it is always good to go through checklist before making up your mind to adapt a technology. So ahead of this article, we will discuss about AMP Limitations and Advantages, and other tweaks as well to bypass the limitations.
1- In order to build AMP for a platform, it involves a whole new development style. It has its own html tags and needs to be implemented carefully. You can find more about specification here. I would not deny the fact, it is not so simple for beginners.
2- The first result is quite slow. Even if you have built AMP for a platform, you need to wait for about 48-72 hours for any results(error or success). Before that you can't even say anything about whatever you have developed.
There are methods though, in order to verify your AMP development but the end result is only known after google successfully crawls AMPs.
3- No external javascripts are allowed. So, it does limit down javascript heavily dependent platforms.
4- Only one developer style element allowed. You do not have much window with css as well.
#limitation 1# In order to tackle with this, you can also use Automatic AMP Converter Platform. Using this, you don't have to worry about any development phase and you can get your AMP platform within a minute.
1- Since these are cached content on Google's server, they are very fast in terms of accessibility even in low network.
2- Since they are fast even in low network, they have larger audience(more traffic).
3- You don't have to pay for server's cost for the amp traffic, as these are hosted on Google's servers.
4- They allow faster ads, so better cpm, more money.
5- Independent of your normal web page.
6- It is free of cost.
So, this was a quick discussion about AMP limitations and Advantages. Hope it helps!

7 Killer January Destinations If You Hate the Cold
We were super psyched to have chilly weather over the holidays, even though we don't actually need a reason to embrace the Danish hygge trend and cozy up with some steamy hot drinks. But you can only have so many hot-buttered rums before you're double-tapping every single warm weather vacation pic on Insta. So, from amazing international festivals to sunny beach weather, we've chosen seven unmissable warm destinations in January. Bon voyage!
Rajasthan, India
The northwest Indian state's name literally means "Land of Kings." Today, that translates into rich traditions, glittering and bright turbans and saris, palpable pride and gorgeous forts (AKA palaces). Bustling Jaipur, the traditional craftsman epicenter, hosts the free Jaipur Literary Festival in January, and Udaipur, the White City, with its charming alleys, relaxed pace and alluring lake palace, is a must-see. A side trip to the smaller town of Bikaner for their annual camel festival, held in mid-January, should also be non-negotiable. Camels are given intricate, buzzed haircuts and decorated to the nines for a two-day celebration, where you're sure to experience Rajasthan in all its colorful glory.
Cape Town, South Africa
If you love sequins, satin and face painting as much as we do, head to Cape Town in January for the Cape Minstrel Carnival, or Kaapse Klopse. Musical minstrel troops march through the streets in incredible, gaudy outfits (yes, there are hats and parasols) for an annual parade and continue the celebration with minstrel musical battles every weekend. Soak up the intoxicating energy and culture of the carnival, and fill extra time with other spectacular Cape Town activities like taking a cable car to the summit of Table Mountain, touring Kirstenbosch Gardens and eating and shopping your heart out at the Food Market and Watershed artisan design center at the V&A Waterfront.
3. Sri Lanka: January is one of the best times (read: no monsoons) to visit Sri Lanka's hill country and west and south coasts. Those regions are connected by the rail system, so you can conveniently travel by slow train, taking in the view of the lush countryside on one of the most famous train routes in the world through Nuwara Eliya. The route runs from the high tea plantations of Ella (Halpewatte Tea Factory is worth a visit), where you'll see women in vibrant saris scattered in the fields, to the interior hill city of Kandy. Kandy is home to the Temple of the Tooth, where there's a soulful evening puja, or ceremonial worship, every night.
Cartagena, Colombia
It seems like Colombia's been on everyone's hot list for the last five years, but picturesque Cartagena is especially vibrant in January, when over 20,000 tourists descend on the city for the Cartagena International Music Festival. Founded eight years ago, the eight-day celebration brings some of the best classical musicians in the world to this charming colonial Caribbean city. Try to snag a ticket for a concert, all held in spectacular historical venues around the city, from plazas to churches and theaters. Free concerts are held in the San Pedro Claver Plaza in the up-and-coming neighborhood of Getsemani, right outside the old walled city. We recommend you grab a pre-concert mojito at Demente, then continue the dancing and music after the performance at Cafe Havana. (Photo via Cartagena International Music Festival)
Southern Vietnam
The combination of dry season and a very slight reprieve from the heat make January the perfect month to visit Southern Vietnam. Start in the dizzying city of Ho Chi Minh (formerly known as Saigon), where you'll learn the terrifying art of crossing a street as motorbikes zip around you, spot gorgeous French architecture (stay at The Alcove or Ma Maison if you love the colonial style) and pagodas among skyscrapers and have the best pho of your life for a few bucks from street stalls with tiny plastic stools.
Death Valley National Park, California
The cooler, dry winter months are actually the best time to visit Death Valley, since summer temps can get as high as 134 degrees Fahrenheit (the hottest temp ever recorded on Earth. We're sweating just thinking about it). From the bold colors of the sand dunes (there's one set you can sandboard — the Mesquite Flat Dunes) to the multi-colored clay formations of Artist's Palette and the salt flats of Badwater Basin, the desert landscape is breathtaking and, for those taking their first trip to a desert, pretty surreal. If you're staying at the Furnace Creek Resort, one of the only hotels in the park, pack your swimsuit, tennis racket and golf clubs. Otherwise, hiking boots and sunscreen will do.
You may hear the capital city's name — St. John's — and picture a yacht vacation that's definitely outside your budget. But over the last few years, local owners of small hotels and activity companies have opened up the dazzling Caribbean island to the 99 percent. In fact, 2016 was the first year EVER that 100,000 Americans visited the island. Even though the island has some of the best beaches for swimming, body surfing and windsurfing in the world, isolated stretches of white sand are still plentiful. Antigua is also becoming a popular culinary tourism destination, so fit in some good eats at Hemingway's Caribbean Cafe, Dennis Cocktail Bar and Restaurant and local spot Roti King.

Doc BrownDecember 22nd, 2004
Check out this interview with one of the best rappers in the UK scene right now. He talks on how he got into rap music, why the current mix tape and what's on it, the forthcoming LP, what he thinks of the scene right now, who he's feeling and would like to work with, plus tons more stuff.
I'm sure they all know, but for the few that don't can you start by introducing yourself?
I'm Doc Brown from the Poisonous Poets click
What were some of the very first artists and records that motivated or inspired you to want to rap?
As a youngster I liked all different types of music- Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Bob Marley, Kurt Cobain, Burning Spear, Peter Tosh, Terry Hall & The Specials really inspired me to write lyrics which I always did in poetry form… In terms of rap it was ATCQ, Brand Nubian, NWA, Kane and them, then Nas really blew me away, but I think that hearing UK stuff made me think it was possible for me to actually rap. I'd say London Posse, Demon Boyz, Katach 22… Really and truly though I would say Blak Twang. When I heard Paralytic Monkey with Fallacy whenever that was- '95 or something, that made me think, "Yeah, I wanna do this properly".
When did you first feature on a release and how long have you been a part of the UK rap scene?
I consider myself to have been a part of this scene since I first started entering the competitions around '97 /'98, like at Mudlumz which was basically like school for me. I learnt about battling, freestyling, open mics, PA's… I learnt how to control a crowd. Of course I was shit though. I'd get up and get trounced in the battles, but you learn from losing you know… I remember Sway Dasafo tearing me to shreds back in the day. I learnt a lot from emcees like him and Reveal, Chester and Skinny. I learnt about hosting and stage personality from people like Intenz and Jonzi D. Anyway that was when I first got my name out there. Then in late 99/early 2000, I had some crap little demo that somehow got put on the "Raw Materials? compilation. Please don't hunt it down. It's rubbish.
How'd you describe your music to people in terms of the general vibes and the subject matters touched upon?
My music is just basically uplifting, soulful Hip Hop. The subject matter is observational, I think I'm best at picking out those little things we do and feelings we have and expressing it concisely, whether that's about love, hate, family, youth, street life or whatever. My stuff is very honest I reckon.
Out of everything released so far, what'd you say would be the one thing people could pick up for a good indication of you as an artist in general?
Until the album drops, you gotta cop the CITIZEN SMITH cd, which is a good example of what I've done so far. It's got loads of original songs on there, not just a bunch of wack verses over US beats. I wouldn't call it a mix tape as much as a collection of songs. It's like "the story so far" you know?
Can you talk us through the current mix tape a little? Why you chose the title, some of the tracks and guests on there?
I chose the title because my government name is Smith and I feel like an average Joe, you know- just another Citizen. Not coz I'm a wannabe revolutionary or anything, I don't rap about shit like that. I hate those rappers who rap about politics and the world and shit but they don't actually do anything outside of rapping about it. That's weak. I've tried to make an entertaining CD that will hopefully have more longevity than a quickly made mix tape with some lame London version of Lean Back or whatever the hot beat is. I got beats from DJ Snips, Rodney P's producer The Sea, Sway Dasafo, Nutty P and a bunch more. I got features from some of my favourite emcees right now: Mr Ti2bs, Pyrelli, Luc Skyz, Lowkey, Yungun and of course Poisonous Poets. There's some real standout flavours on there like Decisions, Decisions which is a cautionary tale, Welcome Home which is like an open letter to Hip Hop culture, Memories Mindgames & Migraines deals with the loss of some young friends, We Know is a little conspiracy theory, Its On has real party vibe. There's something for everybody on there so buy it!
The release is pretty close to your proper debut album. Was it a matter of having so many tracks recorded that you didn't want to see go to waste?
Yeah, partly. I know it's not ideal. Ideally, I would have had Citizen Smith out in the summer, but I funded this project myself, 100% and it was fucking hard. I don't live with my mum, no handouts from daddy, so it took a long time just to get the dough together, then there were a lot of jokers who were doing the artwork, fucking it up and shit like that, so it just kept getting pushed back. It was well annoying at first, but I got there in the end. But, in answer to the second part of your question, yeah, I feel that a lot of UK cats make good tunes and just sit on them coz they get too precious and they want them to come out in the perfect way. What they need to understand is that if you keep waiting and waiting, your time might just pass. We're rappers. We're like footballers, we only have a small window of opportunity, so I just flung my shit out there before the songs got mouldy.
When is the album dropping and is it still being called The DOCument? Can you give us some gossip on the tracks, guest spots etc?
The LP is my pride and joy. The paperwork is sorted with the record label (Janomi), the Distribution Company (Pinnacle), the PR Company (Sainted) and my management (Creation- yes, that Creation). I've got a seriously strong industry team and I'm ready to go. The Document drops in March 2005 with the first single "Do It" dropping in February when I'm also gonna start a tour. No gossip about the tracks other than the fact that they are some of the strongest songs UK rap has ever seen.
What producers have you worked with for this project and who's beats would you like to rap over that you haven't had the chance of yet?
The only big name producer I've worked with on the LP is C-Swing who did a lot of the beats for Jamelia and Terri Walker, other than that I've got a hand picked team of geniuses with genuine talent, all of whom the world will revere this time next year. As for dudes I'd like to work with but haven't… I'd say Nappa from PLC, Baby J, Joe Buddha… Um… Just Blaze!
You mentioned the album's coming out on Jamomi. How did you end up being an artist for them?
They just basically always believed in me. From way back. I knew an emcee who was down with them and it just started there. Even when I was signed to BMG, Janomi was there, waiting!
How long has the album been in the making and have you got any anecdotes about the long hard struggle most UK artists talk about having in finally getting a full length project released?
The actual project didn't take any longer that you would expect a proper full length to take. What took long was finding my feet in this game. There's just a lot of brers who chat shit and make promises that aren't kept… There's a lot of brers who want to eat off you. The music biz is cutthroat! What every single rapper needs to understand is that no-one will ever be as genuinely passionate and appreciative of your art or your project as you are while you're on the come up. Once you've learnt that, then you just need to grind. Get your face, name and tracks EVERYWHERE.
Could you tell us a bit about Poisonous Poets? What's been released so far and when do you reckon new stuff will be coming?
Its Reveal, Therapist, Tony D and me. My crew is basically the 4 tightest rappers in the UK. Hands down. There isn't a click as thorough. Name one other click where every rapper is good, not just one or two, EVERY rapper? Check the Poisonous Poetry Mix tape for proof. We've got Volume 2 coming real soon, plus Reveal and Therapist are dropping a mix tape soon, so is our DJ, Snips. Holla at us on firstname.lastname@example.com for more info.
What past and present UK hip-hop releases have been most enjoyable for you and who are some of your favourite domestic artists?
My favourite artists out now are Sway and Skinnyman. For me they're the only one's putting out entertaining, complex, interesting and high quality hip hop. Proper songs! I'm proper feeling Terra Firma, Mr Ti2bs, Yungun and Lowkey too. In terms of my favourite UK releases, I'd say Council Estate of Mind by Skinnyman, Stone Age 2000 by 12 Stone, and Dettwork Southeast/ 19 Long Time by Blak Twang. Those are the best albums the UK has ever produced.
Off these shores, what artists and producers are you feeling?
Right now? I'm feeling Saigon, Cormega, Nas, Ludacris, Jigga, Masta Ace. I like Angie Stone and Jill Scott and that philly soul shit. Producers? Just Blaze, Alchemist, Havoc, LES, DR Period and whoever does all the heavy beats for the Diplomats.
Is there anything in particular you'd like the scene to be doing in order to improve itself or is it all good as it is?
People gotta be more professional man. There's millions of rappers right now but no-ones trying to be professional. Dudes can't make meetings on time, they don't know how to approach industry people. Plus a lot of people's songs and videos aren't being approached professionally. The scene is strong in terms of numbers but not in terms of quality and approach. Plus, no-one can rock a fucking crowd anymore! Everyone's got their mum to buy them a G4 and rappers are multiplying like gremlins out of their bedrooms with whole albums but have no idea how to perform. That's crazy! And lazy. Also, the hating has to stop. I host open mics and I meet hundreds of rappers all the time. Hardly any of them are happy for Taz, Dizzee, Wiley, Jamilia, Estelle… Its like, just coz they're British and they do urban music they have to have "paid dues" to this tiny little scene for ten years like the rest of us? That's bullshit. We should embrace the success of these artists because they open the world's eyes to what we're doing. Yeah, you might think Dizzee isn't "Hip Hop" but he raps and he raps UK style. And he's EVERYWHERE. Estelle was on Later With Jools Holland, you know? Dizzee was on Band Aid for fucks sake, think how many people now have the idea of "British Rap" in their heads just coz of those two bars? That's good for us regardless. These guys are our pioneers- I say big up to anyone who made it out there.
Do you like much of the garage 2step etc genre's that spin off from hip-hop? Ever been tempted to make a track in those styles?
Yeah I like a lot of that stuff, Therapist showed me a lot of shit coz he spat like that with his Boyz in the Hood Click. He showed me about Doogz and them. There're some heavy emcees in that scene. I can spit double time and all that, and I've ridden2Step riddims a few times I'm all for progression man. Hip Hop over here can't be exactly like the States. We got different flavas bruv. We got the whole dance scene and the whole West Indian influence that America just doesn't have so its only right that our music branches out you know?
Have you got any live dates lined up yet that you want to let people know about?
I've got loads but I can't remember them right now and by the time this is published they probably would have already happened so… My LP tour start on Feb 24th though, in Exeter!
Any shout out's and final plugs?
Yeah shout out everyone that took unpaid time out to help me on Citizen Smith and the Document. Watch out for Luc Skyz, Lowkey and Poisonous Poets. MARCH 2005: THE DOCUMENT on Janomi Records!

Operation Homefront on Aug. 25-27 held the first of two Hearts of Valor military caregiver retreats scheduled for this summer. This is the seventh year that the annual retreats have been held. Thanks to a generous donation from USAA, 70 caregivers of wounded warriors from across the United States gathered to further their knowledge on caregiving.
Operation Homefront is committed to strengthening military families, and the retreats provide a safe and welcoming environment where military caregivers can feel comfortable expressing their thoughts and feelings with staff and with each other.
Thirteen subject matter experts delivered 12 hours of education during the August retreat that was relevant to military caregiving and was centered on support systems, self-care, stress, coping skills, veteran care, and fostering healthy habits. At the retreat, each military caregiver experienced a variety of wellness opportunities, including individual spa time and an introduction to yoga and meditation.
This year's program included presentations from prominent and distinguished experts in the field of caregiving. The content was designed to have a lifelong impact on the caregivers.
Renowned clinician, Associate Vice President and the inaugural Director of the Military Health Institute at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, retired Air Force Maj. Gen. Dr. Byron C. Hepburn, discussed ways in which the body responds to stressful situations, underlining the importance of wellness.
Clinical health psychologist and Assistant Professor of Psychiatry in the School of Medicine at UT Health San Antonio Dr. Lindsay Bira, a TEDx speaker, gave an educational presentation on mindfulness, including hands-on exercises.
Boots and Aprons, a San Antonio-based company, presented "Slow Cooker Secrets," a program influenced by the Eat Healthy, Be Active Community Workshops. The military caregivers worked with Dr. Roxana Delgado and Dr. Kimberly Peacock of the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at UT Health San Antonio to develop healthy eating habits, including cooking demos with crockpots and sampling the food.
Adjunct Clinical Faculty at the University of Maryland School of Social Work William Reidy, LCSW-C, presented practical ways to evaluate stress.
The speakers were asked to consider the challenges of caregiving and, through their professional expertise, they offered the caregivers practical and useful tools in reducing stress.
Another retreat was held Labor Day weekend in San Antonio.
Founded in 2002, Operation Homefront's mission is to build strong, stable, and secure military families so they can thrive, not simply struggle to get by, in the communities they have worked so hard to protect.

Part of today's innovation in the medical field involves the development of new ways to utilize different medicines and supplements. Not just so long, there was the invention of medicine in the form of a patch. Then, powdered supplements in convenient packets were formulated. Now, the launching of a vitamin inhalation device has come into life.
To give you a concrete example of this, we will give you the Sparq Vitamin Air review. Vitamin Air is an inhalation device infused with vitamins. It is the recent innovative formulation from a wellness company, Sparq. Through this, we will give you detailed information on Sparq Vitamin Air ingredients, benefit, and even its side effects. Its customer's feedback, whether positive or negative, is also taken into account.
Sparq Vitamin Air comes into three different formulations. To distinguish the three formulations, they were named as Fuel, Pure, and Melt. Each formulation contains ingredients unique from each other. They also come in two different flavors such as vanilla and strawberry.
To deeply learn and understand how it works, let us start exploring the contents of Sparq Vitamin Air.

Because of this, the inhalation device is known to cause mild bronchitis.
Sparq Vitamin Air Reviews
This product has no gathered user reviews as of to date. No customer's feedback has been found both on Amazon and over the online store websites. We did manage to find some reviews on Youtube, which we will provide below…
Let Sparq Vitamin Air Data Speak For Itself
Sparq Vitamin Air ingredients, the way it is being manufactured, and its promising benefits are very much enticing. However, since there is a lack or no customers reviews over the web, its effectiveness, although tested in the laboratory, has not yet established and not yet really proven by the users.
Further, if you want something that is tested by other users, you can try Bio Vape Vitamin B12. Though it only contains the Vitamin B12 alone, it has more established reviews and already tested by the majority of the population.
What is Bio Vape Vitamin B12?
Bio Vape Vitamin B12 is inhalable aromatherapy of vitamin B12 alone. This product is all natural, vegan-friendly, and nicotine free. It has a great taste and no calories as well.
However, it only has one flavor available which is the citrus flavor. And, there is one negative feedback we found with Bio Vape Vitamin B12. Some of its buyers say that it does not release vapor as what they were expected.
Buy Sparq Vitamin Air Online
Sparq Vitamin Air is available online. Just visit Indiegogo to find it.

"Now and Later"
Now on Blu Ray
Amos Lassen
Shari Solaris is Angela, a Latina illegal immigrant in Los Angeles. She meets Bill (James Wortham) who is a banker who has been disgraced and is on the run. She invites him to stay with her and as they have wild sex we are given looks at various topics. The plot may sound simple but all is more complex than it sounds.
There is a lot of sex here and the film really goes as far as it can and I doubt anyone will be able simply to walk away from this film. Here the sex is balanced with intellectual conversations about life and the world. Copulation is right up there on the screen but I would not say that this is pornography as there is a purpose to it all.
We see something about the relationship between repression of sex and violence. Shari and Bill have serious discussions about everything when they are not having sex or even while they are having it. Shari uses sex as a reward to conversation and what we get is something between porn and a message movie. The juxtaposition of political discourse and sexual intercourse works most of the time and this is director Phillipe Diaz's attempt to say how he feels. I found the experience to be, er, stimulating.

Unplugged – Five Great Books for Runners
I am making a conscious effort to "unplug" more often and engage in activities that will promote relaxation. For me, this means challenging myself to indulge in some good books ("good" often times meaning running or health related). In the spirit of scrolling less and reading more, here are some of my favorites that I wanted to share with you all.
1. Mile Markers – The 26.2 Most Important Reasons Why Women Run (Kristen Armstrong)
I read this book a few years ago and absolutely loved it. It is based off of the Runner's World blog posts written by contributing editor Kristen Armstrong (who, by the way, was previously married to Lance Armstrong) and chronicles her adventures both in running and life. This book really resonated with me because Kristen is able to articulate how running both changes and challenges us as individuals, as well as shapes our relationships with others.
2. Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen (Christopher McDougall)
This book was brought to my attention by a colleague (who knows of my love for all things running). Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down! I have never run an ultra marathon (yet) but I was able to find myself relating to many of the stories contained therein.
The premise of the book is that McDougall has taken it upon himself to find out why the Tamahumara tribe has been seemingly able to challenge all conventional wisdom and run countless miles without injury. This book definitely helped to transform my relationship with running. All too often we overcomplicate things with our devices, data, tracking, and the like. This book really capitalizes on the simplicity and pureness that running can (and should) be.
3. The Runner's Book of Daily Inspiration, A Year of Motivation, Revelation, and Inspiration (Kevin Nelson)
This book contains a short passage for each day, ending with a daily resolution. I am a huge fan of these types of books, as they don't take long to read, but provide enough motivation to keep with you (both in getting out the door and for the remainder of the day).
4. Once a Runner/ Again to Carthage (John L. Parker, Jr.)
One of the few fiction books focusing nearly exclusively on running! Once a Runner, and its sequel Again to Carthage, are must reads for all runners. Taking place during the Vietnam era, the story chronicles a collegiate runner seeking to break the elusive four-minute mile. Spoiler Alert: One of the workouts that takes place in preparation for this feat is 60x400m! Even if you have never run competitively, both of these books are well worth the read.
5. Personal Record, A Love Affair With Running (Rachel Toor)
This is another book that chronicles how running becomes interwoven in nearly every aspect of our lives. From the sometimes mundane day-to-day training to the personal bests, this book captures much of the spirit of what it means to be a runner. Toor may already be a familiar name to you as well – she writes for Running Times!
Are there any books that I missed? What are some of your must reads? What else do you do aside from reading when you are trying to unplug?

The Augsburg Orchestra was formed by composer Robert Karlén to explore music from every style and period. In addition to pieces from the standard orchestral canon, the Augsburg Orchestra has performed a diverse repertoire that includes settings of Chinese folk songs, Renaissance masses, and jazz standards. The Augsburg Orchestra is conducted by Rafael Rodriquez and students' performance in the ensemble is enriched by private lessons with Augsburg music faculty, which includes musicians of the Minnesota Orchestra and St. Paul Chamber Orchestra.
The Augsburg Orchestra offers students of any major an opportunity to participate in an orchestral performance ensemble at Augsburg University. Though no competitive audition is required for enrollment, students are asked to perform informal playing demonstrations before joining the ensemble. The ensemble is open to students who play flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn, trumpet, trombone, tuba, percussion, harp, violin, viola, cello and bass. Auditions are scheduled the first week of the fall semester or by contacting the conductor.
As members of the Augsburg Orchestra, students:
• strengthen individual musicianship skills and instrumental technique
• develop orchestral ensemble playing skills and strategies for meaningful collaboration
• explore details of the lives and music of the composers whose music is performed by the ensemble
• exercise civic responsibility and apply community engagement skills to connect the music-making process with the Augsburg community and its neighbors

Dear Soccer Exhibitor,
Thanks for taking the time to visit our website and Exhibitor information page. The first annual G.I.O. Youth Soccer Coaches Clinic and Expo is the unique to this region and is brought to you by Goal in One Sports, LLC through the support and involvement by Kwikgoal, Inc.
The 2013 G.I.O. Youth Soccer Coaches Clinic and Expo at the Bethlehem Sands Resort and Casino will be held in the beautiful Sands Event Center attached to Sands Hotel from February 28 to March 2.
Our goal is to not only provide soccer education and development for youth and high school coaches, we are equally as committed to attracting Exhibitors to present their products and service to a soccer demographic that does not typically attend our national convention.
G.I.O. want the attendees to not only learn about soccer, we also want them to see what resources, equipment, products and contacts that are available to their clubs and high schools.
Inviting referees to participate in this event will serve to afford their organizations and chapters with ongoing education, certification and professional development. We believe referees are under served and often forgotten as a vital link to coaching and player development.
College coaches, elite club coaches and experienced referees will serve as our clinicians and presenters for this event.

It is safe to say that most modern business owners in California work hard to create memorable brands in order to stay abreast of, or rise above, their competition. In this technology-rich world, having a brand is one of the most effective ways of communicating the quality and value of your goods or services to consumers.
Mobile game company targeted in copyright infringement suit
Recently, Riot, a major gaming software company with offices around the globe targeted another game developer in a California lawsuit. Riot alleges that Shanghai Moonton, the creator of Mobile Legends, engaged in copyright infringement when developing the game. According to reports, Mobile Legends is strikingly similar to Riot's game, League of Legends.
People could steal your logo and try to make it their own
Logos are typically unique, reflecting a business or company's brand and style. It seems as if no one would dare to take an existing logo and use it for his or her own purposes, but it actually happens quite often. Sometimes, they attempt to tweak the logo just enough to make it seem different. For example, the logo's color may be altered or something might be added to the logo's initial design.
Standard information about patent law
Are you a California inventor? Have you been thinking about getting a patent for your invention? If you said yes to either of these two questions then you should do everything you can to learn about patent law.
