2018 BMW Rt – These BMW may be the BMW supercar who wasn't. It's your car with almost never personally seen the light regarding day of the week, in lieu the following 2018 BMW Rt pays it's once again time secured away. Only one appeared but it was only delusion until eventually after some duration ago. Good initial BMW Series, the actual jam-packed the V12 website, the six-speed regular, nuts body system give good results as well as a that, stripped-down out interior. It all would be a colossal that all BMW admirers imagined plus not one truly got. Just what exactly what is the news moreover signify is that the BMW loved ones is ready designed for now. We certainly have presently found that the actual BMW Series Coupe, Sports vehcile plus Gran Coupe are increasingly being changed by its some Newer BMW Series, then it provides understandable who their particular equivalents were scrapped.
2018 BMW Rt Appearance
The same as the forthcoming Newer BMW, the popular models definitely will wrap the reworked edition of your brand's 4.4 liter twin-turbo V8, just like the different new BMW can, and really should cultivate near 600 hp. All-wheel build will probably be a part of the actual giving as well. For years, the company may be placing separate the thought of the four-wheel build T vehicle – in addition to the T SUVs – however , now with the popular BMW opening up who earthworms regarding bottles, different models will observe go well with as well. And even the popular models are classified as the ideal option to offer the traction force vital all-year round.
We're going to probably start seeing the main BMW model running around the actual avenues with 2018, however , for now i will continue to keep many of our head to the ground to get more information.

One of the challenges facing the export of pomegranate fruits according to the standards of European and other countries, is the sorting of pomegranate by weight, color and size after harvesting. It comes along with packaging requirements by large trading networks.
The sorting aggregates are semi-automatic and fully automated and they are carrying out sorting pomegranates in the above-mentioned species. This, in turn, helps prevent damaged and non-standard pomegranates from being sent to consumers. These devices reduce the importance of sorting by reducing the use of manual labor during sorting.
It also creates opportunities for pomegranate producers at the stage of pomegranates packaging and delivery to the consumer after it has been sorted by size and weight. PPEAA recommends application of these aggregates soon in large gardens. In this case, there will be conditions for pomegranate sorting in the surrounding gardens, which in turn, can be a source of extra income for the entrepreneur.

In this study, a Swedish house built in 1974, heated with resistance heaters was analysed. Different options for changing the heating system and electricity production were compared for this type of detached house, assuming coal-based electricity production as a reference. Changes in the fuel used, the electricity production technology, the end-use heating technology and the heat demand were analysed. The aim was to show how these different parts of the energy system interact and to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of reducing CO2 emission and primary energy use by different combinations of changes. The results showed that the CO2 emission and primary energy use could be reduced by 95 and 70%, respectively, without increased heating costs in a national economic perspective. The choice of end-use heating system had a greater influence than the energy conservation measures on the parameters studied. The energy conservation measures were less cost-effective in combination with the more energy-efficient heating systems, although the fact that they reduced the heat demand, and thus also the investment cost of the new heating system, was taken into account.
The space heating demand of residential buildings can be decreased by improved insulation, reduced air leakage and by heat recovery from ventilation air. However, these measures result in an increased use of materials. As the energy for building operation decreases, the relative importance of the energy used in the production phase increases and influences optimization aimed at minimizing the Life cycle energy use. The Life cycle primary energy use of buildings also depends on the energy supply systems. In this work we analyse primary energy use and CO2 emission for the production and operation of conventional and low-energy residential buildings. Different types of energy supply systems are included in the analysis. We show that for a conventional and a low-energy building the primary energy use for production can be up to 45% and 60%, respectively, of the total, depending on the energy supply system, and with larger variations for conventional buildings. The primary energy used and the CO2 emission resulting from production are lower for wood-framed constructions than for concrete-framed constructions. The primary energy use and the CO2 emission depend strongly on the energy supply, for both conventional and low-energy buildings. For example, a single-family house from the 1970s heated with biomass-based district heating with cogeneration has 70% lower operational primary energy use than if heated with fuel-based electricity. The specific primary energy use with district heating was 40% lower than that of an electrically heated passive row house.
In this study the life cycle primary energy use and carbon dioxide (CO2) emission of an eight-storey wood-framed apartment building are analyzed. All life cycle phases are included, including acquisition and processing of materials, on-site construction, building operation, demolition and materials disposal. The calculated primary energy use includes the entire energy system chains, and carbon flows are tracked including fossil fuel emissions, process emissions, carbon stocks in building materials, and avoided fossil emissions due to biofuel substitution. The results show that building operation uses the largest share of life cycle energy use, becoming increasingly dominant as the life span of the building increases. The type of heating system strongly influences the primary energy use and CO2 emission; a biomass-based system with cogeneration of district heat and electricity achieves low primary energy use and very low CO2 emissions. Using biomass residues from the wood products chain to substitute for fossil fuels significantly reduces net CO2 emission. Excluding household tap water and electricity, a negative life cycle net CO2 emission can be achieved due to the wood-based construction materials and biomass-based energy supply system. This study shows the importance of using a life cycle perspective when evaluating primary energy and climatic impacts of buildings.
In order to control climate change it is important to limit the atmosphericconcentration of carbon dioxide (CO2). Increased energy efficiency, as well as ashift from fossil fuels to renewable resources can reduce net CO2 emission. Theenergy required for constructing and operating buildings is significant in manycountries, and it is thus important to design energy efficient buildings and energysupply systems.Improvements in existing buildings are needed in order to achieve short-termemission reductions. The Swedish building stock expanded greatly during the1960s and 1970s. The energy efficiency of these houses was often quite low, andmany of them were built with resistance heating. In this thesis increased energyefficiency in such buildings is studied, as well as conversions from resistanceheating to other heating systems, and various technologies and fuels for theproduction of electricity and heat. The effects of these measures are analysed withrespect to primary energy use, CO2 emission and societal cost. The studies wereperformed using process-based systems analysis in a life-cycle perspective. Thesystem boundaries include energy chains from the natural resources to the usefulelectricity and heat in the houses. The results show that the choice of heatingsystem in the house has a greater effect on the primary energy use than measureson both the house envelope and the energy supply chains. District heating basedon cogeneration of heat and electricity and bedrock heat pumps were found to beenergy-efficient systems. The net emission of CO2 is dependent on the fuel and theCO2 emissions from these systems are comparable to those from a wood pelletboiler, if biomass-based supply chains are used. Conversion from resistanceheating to any of the other heating systems studied is also profitable from a societaleconomic perspective.The decision to implement energy-efficiency measures or install a new heatingsystem in a detached house is taken by the house owner. In order for successfulimplementation the alternatives must either be sufficiently attractive or incentivesor policy instruments that affects this large, inhomogeneous group must beimplemented. In this thesis, the house owners' economic situation when changingthe heating system and implementing energy-efficiency measures on the buildingenvelope is analysed. The economic analysis includes current Swedish policyinstruments, such as an investment subsidy for heating system conversion, anincome tax deduction for replacing windows, levying a consumer electricity tax
and increasing real estate tax. House owners' perceptions of different heatingsystems are analysed through the results of comprehensive questionnaires. Societaleconomy, private economy and individuals' perceptions are compared. Theconversion subsidy provides some incentive to house owners to act according tothe national energy policy, as does the electricity tax, which has a significantinfluence on consumer costs. The use of economic instruments seems efficient inpromoting systems in line with environmental goals since environmental factorsare ranked much lower by the home owners. However, the effect on the annualcost of most of the policy instruments studied is smaller than the price variationsbetween different energy suppliers. Energy suppliers thus have considerableopportunity to influence house owners.To achieve long-term changes in the building sector new houses should beconstructed with as low primary energy use and emission as possible, seen overtheir entire life cycle. The primary energy use is analysed for both the productionand operational phase of several types of residential buildings. When the demandfor operational primary energy decreases, due to a high energy standard orenergy-efficient supply, the relative importance of the energy required forproduction will increase. The amount of primary energy required for theproduction of a new low-energy building is significant compared with the primaryenergy required for space heating. One way of reducing both primary energy useand CO2 emission in the production phase is to use constructions with woodframes instead of concrete.The energy supply system is nevertheless still important also for low energybuildings. A new house built to passive standard, heated with fossil-fuel-basedresistance heating gives rise to higher primary energy use and CO2 emission than aconventional detached house from the 1970s that is heated with an energy-efficientbiomass-based heating system. The results thus indicate that wood-framed houseswith a high energy standard, together with efficient energy supply systems, couldbe an option for sustainable residential construction.
When low-energy houses are being built the focus is often to minimize the final (purchased) energy in the operation phase. However, the primary energy is more relevant when evaluating buildings from an environmental perspective. As the. energy for operation decreases, the relative importance of the other life cycle phases increases and influences an optimization aiming at minimizing the life-cycle energy use. We have studied the primary energy use for production and operation of four types of buildings, when using different types of energy supply systems for the heating. We show that a house from the 1970s after refurbishment and change of heating supply system had about the same primary energy use as a so-called passive house. The CO2 emissions were 64% lower, when a biomass-based heating system was used. We also illustrate the higher relative importance of the production phase for a building with low energy demand and efficient heat supply systems for operation.
House envelope measures and conversion of heating systems can reduce primary energy use and CO2 emission in the existing Swedish building stock. We analysed how the size and construction of electrically heated detached houses affect the potential for such measures and the potential for cogenerated district heating. Our starting point was two typical houses built in the 1970s. We altered the floor plans to obtain 6 houses, with heated floor space ranging between 100 and 306 m2. One of the houses was also analysed for three energy standards with differing heat loss rates. CO2 emission, primary energy use and heating cost were estimated after implementing house envelope measures, conversions to other heating systems and changes in the generation of district heat and electricity. The study accounted for primary energy, including energy chains from natural resources to useful heat in the houses. We showed that conversion to district heating based on biomass, together with house envelope measures, reduced the primary energy use by 88% and the CO2 emission by 96%, while reducing the annual societal cost by 7%. The choice of end-use heating system was decisive for the primary energy use, with district heating being the most efficient. Neither house size nor energy standard did significantly change the ranking of the heating systems, either from a primary energy or an economic viewpoint, but did affect the extent of the annual cost reduction after implementing the measures.
There is a large potential to reduce primary energy use and CO2 emissions from the Swedish building stock. Here detached houses heated by oil, natural gas or electric boilers were assessed. CO2 emissions, primary energy use and heating costs were evaluated before and after implementing house envelope measures, conversions to more efficient heating systems and changes to biomass fuel use. The study included full energy chains, from natural resources to usable heat in the houses. The aim was to evaluate the societal economic cost effectiveness of reducing CO2 emission and primary energy use by different combinations of changes. The results demonstrated that for a house using an electric boiler, a conversion to a heat pump combined with house envelope measures could be cost efficient from a societal economic perspective. If the electricity was based on biomass, the primary energy use was at the same time reduced by 70% and the CO2 emission by 97%. Large emission reductions were also seen for conversions from oil and gas boilers to a biomass-based system. However, for these conversions the heating cost increased, leading to a mitigation cost of around €50/tonne C avoided. The price of oil and natural gas greatly influenced the competitiveness of the alternatives. House envelope measures were more cost-effective for houses with electric boilers as the cost of energy for this system is high. The results are specific to a Swedish context, but also give an indication of the potential in other regions, such as northern European and large parts of North America, which have both a cold climate and a widespread use of domestic boilers.
In order to realise the potential for energy efficiency in residential areas it requires influencing the many individual house owners that make the decisions. We compare how Swedish energy policy and Swedish energy suppliers influence the house owners in taking decisions about heating systems and house envelope measures. An economic analysis shows how energy policy and electricity cost affects the house owners' economic situation. The house owners' perception is analysed through comprehensive questionnaires, sent out both before and after the implementation of a heating system conversion subsidy and a district heating marketing campaign by an energy supplier. We conclude that a heating system conversion subsidy and electricity tax give relevant incentives to act according to the national policy. We show that the effect on the annual cost of most of the studied policy measures was smaller than the price variations between different energy suppliers. The energy supplier can largely influence both the economic situation and the perceptions of the customers.
For houses with low operational energy demand, the relative importance of the other life cycle phases is larger than in standard buildings. For such buildings the choice of material becomes more important. Studies have shown that buildings constructed with wood require less energy during the lifecycle, compared to other materials. We have compared the primary energy use for production and operation of a wood building and a concrete building, traditionally constructed, and a low-energy concrete building. We also evaluate the effects of energy efficiency measures applied to the wood building and of different energy supply systems. We show the importance of both material choice and energy supply systems when optimizing life-cycle energy use of buildings.
In this study, we first analyse energy-efficiency measures in existing electrically heated houses in Sweden from a societal economic perspective. Measures to a house envelopes and to energy supply chains are evaluated through a system analysis approach and we include the external costs of climate change and the effect of different Swedish climatic zones. We find that in a typical house from the 1970s, conversion from electric heating is highly motivated since the mitigation cost of conversion is lower than the estimated external costs of emitted CO2. Both conversions and house envelope measures are more motivated in the northern part of the country, where there is a higher heat demand. A successful implementation of changes requires them to be attractive for consumers to adopt. We therefore secondly analyse the economic conditions for Swedish house owners to implement societal economic cost-efficient measures. We include the economic influence of an investment subsidy for heating system conversion, an income tax deduction for changing windows, customer electricity tax, real estate tax and of the cost of purchased energy from different energy suppliers. Apart from the economics, several other factors affect a house owner's decision to change heating systems. We therefore thirdly analyse house owners' perceptions of different heating supply alternatives based on the results of two comprehensive questionnaires. These different perspectives are combined in a discussion whether the studied policy instruments encourage house owners to implement changes in accordance with the energy-efficiency goals of decision makers. We find that the investment subsidy could be useful to break the lock-in effect of resistance heaters, which house owners seemed to experience. The electricity tax makes heating systems in line with national goals more competitive and efficiency measures to the house envelope more profitable. The reduction of the electricity tax in the northern part of the country has the opposite effect. Also, the increase in real estate tax when implementing energy-efficiency measures gives a contradictory message. The price differences between energy suppliers has a larger impact on the house owners' economic conditions than both subsidies and tax rate changes, and possibly also affect the house owner's attitudes towards various systems.

When everyone thinks alike, everyone is likely to be wrong. Not my words, altho I could easily second them.
These words were spoken of Mr.Neill, the father of contrary-opinion trading as we know it. He believed that the crowd, whether in politics or economics, always made its greatest mistakes at the point in history when events were about to change dramatically.
Mr.Neills studies revealed that a crowd yields to instincts which individual acting alone represses, and that people tend to follow the *herd* instinct. That people are susceptible to suggestions, to commands, to customs, to emotional motivation. That a crowd never reasons, but follows its emotions and accepts without proof what is *suggested* or *asserted*.
Applied to the commodity markets, contrary-opinion theory revealed that indeed most traders were on the wrong side of the market at the major turning points.
At market tops, the degree of bullish sentiment tended to be rampant; at the market bottoms, the bearish sentiment seemed equally rampant. At the tops it seemed that bullish traders were all holding their positions and hoping for more buyers to enter the market and push prices higher.
Conversely, at market bottoms the bears had all sold and were awaiting additional sellers to push prices even lower. But without new buyers entering a market at a top and new sellers at a bottom, prices had only one way to go — the opposite direction.
These studies have shown that at the extremes of the market, when 90% or more hold a similar attitude, the market simply MUST reverse itself. As a result, contrary-opinion traders establish positions opposite to prevailing opinion. Studies have also shown that the greater the percentage of people holding an opinion, the stronger the signal is to establish a contrary position.
Lets sum it up. Contrary-opinion traders are always looking for a one-sided market sentiment in order to take the opposite side. If you remember that the crowd is invariably wrong at the extremes in the market, you might very likely do better by taking a position opposite to the majority opinion than to follow the crowd.
Good trades,

The hood of our car, truck, SUV, or van see a lot of things we are not even aware of most of the time. We might be somewhat aware of it, sometimes, but not to the extent that it has to deal with the problems it encounters or situations it deals with on a consistent basis. It is not too much to say it deals with daily or every time we take a drive. We might be aware of the some of the things it deals with when we look at our front grill. It shows us the ugly truth we tend not to notice or think about when we are driving.
Protecting the hood of the vehicle is not something most people think of at all. Most people just buy a car, truck, SUV, or van and just drive off the lot without any thought of upgrading them. We mistakenly believe that we have everything we need to have a great driving experience. The truth is that there are several things that we could get that would allow us to have better driving experiences than we are experiencing right now. The molded hood protector for the Buick Verano 2015 is one of those items that can do that for you.
The name implies everything it does for you. It might seem weird because the hood protector is not as big of an item as you think it should be to protect a hood. Most people would think that it would have to be larger to protect the hood. However, you have to consider the angle to which most things are going to encounter the hood. If it is a rock then it is common for it to be launched from the ground which means the rock will come from below and the hood protector can catch that angle and protect the hood from possible scratches or chips. You might think that you want no item or your vehicle getting scratched or chipped but if you had to choose then would you choose an item that can be replaced or the hood of your vehicle that is much harder and expensive to fix or replace. You could use touch-up paints but you will gain the other benefits of having a hood protector.
Of course, if you are protecting something then you are protecting it because it has value. Value is something that you want to maintain as much as possible because it gives you options for later on in life. If you have value left in your vehicle then you can use it to trade in for another vehicle later or you can sell the car later if you need to move it. If there is any truth about life then one of those truths is that having options is a good thing. None of us like to be without choice and giving yourself choice is a good way to make sure that you are getting what you want most of the time or, at least, you have a few options from which you can select the one with the best outcome for you.
The last thing to mention is somewhat obvious but people do not think about it often. If the hood protector protects you from things that are kicked up by the vehicles in front of you then it is also going to protect you from elements of the weather that other vehicles kick us as well. Is it a lot of protection? No, that would be physically impossible without a larger shield. However, if that hood protector is the difference between being totally blinded and getting into a possible accident then most people would choose to have the protection rather than not have it on our side.

For two nights and three days youth living and working on the street (YLWS) participated in a youth camp in the outskirts of Iringa municipal. Regarded as street children these youths barely have time for retreat and calmness for self reflection. This was perfect time for them to get away from all the chaos they face on daily basis in the streets.
Youth Camp activities
On the first day the main activity was setting up the camp. This included setting tents and making rules on how things will be done and by whom. IDYDC staff used this time to identify youth skills as most of the tasks were done by the youth themselves with little supervision. The group agreed to the arrangements made and all vowed to follow them and monitor each other.
Each participant was given task and these task were done in sub groups where for example one group can fetch water today while the other prepare food and the next day they exchange. For all duration of camping everyone performed his duties to the best of his abilities without complaining.
Each day there were two sessions during the day and one before sleeping at night. This last session was not too formal where anyone could share their stories. The two sessions were used to talk to the youth with the intention of not only teaching but also bonding with them and hearing what they have in mind.
The youth were open to talk as the environment was not judgmental and there was trust among the group. Those who started sharing their stories encouraged others to open up. This was good to the group as they saw that each person has their struggles but life must go on. Being in a team and working together also helped to form the team work mentality for the group.
The aim for this youth camp was to enhance motivation, reflection and self awareness to YLWS. We are happy with what we have seen at the camp and hope for positive results to come. Those who use alcohol or drugs (cannabis) realized that they can live without those and this is a great step.
The youth enjoyed their time away, they were very happy to live together in harmony where everyone is equal. We hope that this will help them when they think of their future as there are a lot of possibilities regardless of the current situation.

You have been warned Callum! Frank Lampard sends Chelsea warning to £180,000-a-week star Hudson-Odoi
Frank Lampard has sent a warning to Callum Hudson-Odoi after the winger made his comeback in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.
After his breakthrough season under Maurizio Sarri last season, there has been alot of transfer speculation regarding the future of the young man over the past few months as he constantly failed to agree a new contract, meaning the likes of Bayern Munich were keeping a very close eye.
But Chelsea believed that they could convince the young man to commit his long-term future with the club, and after months of negotiations and talks, they have finally come to an agreement and he has signed up.
It is believed that Hudson-Odoi has agreed a five-year deal worth around £180,000-a-week, and many now believe that he will become an integral part of the Chelsea side under the guidance of Frank Lampard.
Asked if it was good to see Hudson-Odoi back in action during the 7-1 smashing of Grimsby Town, Lampard said on the Sky Sports website: 'Yeah of course. Firstly he has signed up, so that is good so that puts to bed everything else.
'In terms of his performance, I thought first half not so sure. I thought him and Christian as wingers, the message was to hurt the line and run behind and end up in areas inside the box where you're taking people on.
'It wasn't happening and that message didn't get across because at half-time it had to be reinforced pretty strongly and in the second half we managed to get into better positions.
'Callum's talent means that he has to absolutely work hard to run behind people, to get at people, to be inside, to be outside and work off the ball and all those things.
'That's where he needs to learn because if he wants to play in the team week in and week out that is what he is going to have to do.'
Having Hudson-Odoi back playing in A Chelsea shirt has many fans happy, especially as he looked set to leave the club in the summer window. But the more he plays under Lampard the better he will adapt to how the Blues legend would like him to be in the coming months.

If you are a teacher looking for authentic learning involving art and 3D printing, here is a great example shared by North Adelaide Primary School, one of our Lighthouse Schools.
John Western, a teacher at North Adelaide Primary School, explains his class project:
"My grade 4 class at North Adelaide Primary School visited the Art Gallery of South Australia in first term to view the Biennial Modern Art Exhibition, which is part of the Festival Of Arts.
"One of the exhibitors was Tom Moore, a local glass blower, who displayed many pieces of art around the theme of nature dominating over man made machines.
"Back at school we talked about the features of the art they saw and then they had to design their own piece in 2D on paper around the same theme.
"Students then went about designing their art piece on Makers Empire as a 3D object and worked together to achieve workable models. They were very excited to see their designs printed. They were very engaged in all aspects of the process.
"We shared their designs with the artist who was very appreciative and enjoyed the student's ideas."

Polyester Gelcoat
WRAS Approved range of coloured Polyester Gelcoats. Choose from White, Black, Dove Grey, Bright Blue or Dark Olive. If you require a bespoke colour, choose 'Clear' which may be pigmented to your desired colour.
Gelcoat is not a finishing coat; for fibreglass mould making, it is painted onto moulds/plugs and remains tacky after it cures. Resin and Glass are generally applied on top of the Gelcoat. It forms the hard, smooth shiny surface of the finished article and is usually pigmented.
It paints on easily but does not drain from vertical surfaces. Use Topcoat if a finishing paint is required. WRAS approved.
How to Apply a Brush Polyester Gelcoat
To answer this question in a lot of detail, we have created a comprehensive guide in our how-to section which is available to Read more
I'm interested in making some fibreglass moulds, would I be able to use a release agent and then the top coat first?
This depends on the type of mould you are trying to make (male or female). In this case, it sounds like you need a gelcoat rather than a topcoat. Please refer to our guide on making a mould which will detail the mould making process.
The expected coverage of the Standard Polyester Topcoat and Gelcoat is 500g per square metre.

Linamar Corp., a Canadian auto-parts maker, offered to buy out remaining shareholders in its Hungarian unit for an estimated Ft 10.7 billion ($55.6 million).
The Canadian company is offering Ft 3,003 for each share of Linamar Hungary Nyrt, according to a statement to the Budapest Stock Exchange (BÉT) today. Linamar Corp. currently holds 58.6% of its Hungarian unit and the public offer would be in cash. Linamar Hungary, based in Orosháza, Hungary, and formerly called Mezőgép Rt., assembles automotive components and parts and manufactures agricultural harvesting equipment.
Linamar employs about 11,000 people in the US, Mexico, Germany, China, Korea and Japan. The company had sales of $2.2 billion in 2005. The Canadian company wants to delist the Hungarian unit's shares and focus on its growth potential in Europe, using Hungary as a base, the newspaper Napi Gazdaság reported today. (Bloomberg)

Annette's Websites of the Week- Britain's Got Talent, London 2012 Olympic Games & Age UK Care in CrisisMay 11, 2012 at 2:45 pm | Posted in Uncategorized | Leave a comment
Tags: AGE UK, Annette's Websites of the Week, Ashleigh and Pudsey, Britain's Got Talent, Care in Crisis, Dancing Dog, Final, London 2012 Olympic Games, Olympic Orbit Tower, Online petition, Royal Variety Show
Britain's Got Talent– The country seems to be gripped by Britain's Got Talent after a series of live semi-finals this week. With the 10 finalists now selected everyone is looking forward to Saturday night's live final show (ITV, 7.30pm) where the public will choose the 2012 BGT winner who will receive an enormous £500,000 and the opportunity to perform at the Royal Variety Show in front of the Queen.
I've really enjoyed this year's show but I have to admit that I've not had chance to watch every semi-final show so I am a little behind on which acts got through to the final. Luckily the Britain's Got Talent website is packed with all of the latest news from the semi-final shows including profiles of this year's finalists, videos of their performances and exclusive interviews with contestants and judges.
So if you're planning on watching the Britain's Got Talent final this weekend checkout the website before hand to find out more about your favourite act. I'm backing the 'paw-some' duo Ashleigh and Pudsey because I can't help but adore a dancing doggy.
London 2012 Olympic Games- This summer's Olympic Games seem to be edging ever closer and this week a handful of events have taken place to ramp up the excitement including The School Games and the lighting of the Olympic Flame. Today the Olympic Orbit Tower, a steel sculpture designed by Anish Kappor was officially opened too.
The statement sculpture, which has caused a dived between people who love it and loath it, boasts a structure that is taller than New York's Statue of Liberty and a observational suite that offers panoramic views of London. I'm yet to decide whether or not I like the design- what do you think?
In addition to the opening of Orbit Tower an extra 200,000 Olympic tickets were released this morning to Olympic applicants who were unsuccessful in securing tickets for the Games during earlier ticket distributions. With tickets to most events on offer, including the Opening and Closing Ceremonies, I'm sure that there will be lots of very happy Olympic customers by the end of today.
Check out the London 2012 website for more information on event, venues etc…
Age UK Care in Crisis– This week's Queen's Speech to open parliament disappointed many people including those who had hoped for a change in the social care system. Instead of a full social care bill been announced the speech revealed that only a draft bill on social care would be drawn up by the government this year.
For charities such as Age UK who have campaigned for change the draft bill is deeply unsatisfying. Despite this Age UK is still steaming ahead in their campaign for change in social care. To achieve a full bill next year they need to secure as much support as possible, which is why Age UK want as many people as possible to sign up to their Care in Crisis petition.
The online petition takes less than a couple of minutes to complete and includes a full and in depth insight into the whole Care in Crisis campaign, which I believe is worthwhile supporting because it could eventually help implement crucial change to the care system that we will all use at one point or another- sign the petition here.
Grandparent forum Gransnet celebrates one year onlineMay 2, 2012 at 4:27 pm | Posted in Uncategorized | Leave a comment

A little over a year ago I read about a new website called Gransnet– an online forum for grandparents to discuss all sorts of issues. Interested in broadening my internet 'favourites' I checked out the website and was delighted with what was on offer.
Designed with internet savvy grandparents in mind Gransnet is the perfect place to find other likeminded grandparents who are online. Most importantly Gransnet is easy to use and has a discussion forum for everything- what's happening in the news, recipes, books, films, general chit chat. Plus it hosts weekly competitions and features special guests who pop in for forums, blog posts and Q&A sessions.
Having recently joined up with aging charity Age UK to encourage more people to get online Gransnet is today celebrating one fantastic year online. Why not celebrate by joining in the Gransnet fun… www.gransnet.com
Hitting the gym aged 55 plus- Gym visits increase with ageMarch 7, 2012 at 4:14 pm | Posted in Uncategorized | Leave a comment
Tags: AGE UK, Fitness, Gym membership, Health, Nuffield Health, Older people, Senior gym members, Total Fitness, Well-being
In the midst of British Pie Week it's easy to feel as though you need to get a little more active (just to counteract the goodness of so many pies). Although I'm admittedly not a gym bunny- I would prefer to keep fit in the great outdoors- I feel inspired by new research that has found older gym members visit the gyms more regularly than their younger counterparts.
The research found by Nuffield Health and featured in an article on Age UK's website, revealed that 'older members make 20 extra visits on average, on an annual basis'. This surge in activity amongst senior gym goers suggests that not only are they actively maintaining a fit and healthy lifestyle but also getting great enjoyment from their gym or fitness centre.
Shifting your mind away from the dreaded thought of heavy gym equipment and fitness fanatics that are 20, 30 or even 40 years your junior can be a little difficult. However, once you've got past this milestone gyms really don't seem too bad.
In fact many gyms including Total Fitness, DW Sport and Nuffield Health & Fitness offer senior membership packages exclusive for members aged 55 or 60 plus. More often than not these gyms also run scheduled fitness classes designed for their older members- toning, aerobics, swimming etc. These classes are made with you in mind, they don't overstretch your body or stamina levels and are great places to meet people who are a similar age and looking to get fit too.
All in all gyms don't seem too bad. Although I won't be giving up walking my dogs, Toffee and Summer, for exercise any time soon I will be considering my local fitness club as an option for the future. I've even been told that many gyms have excellent coffee lounges now-a-days, which is an added bonus.
Do you visit a local gym with a 'senior' membership? I'd love to hear more about what you enjoy about the gym and how often you go along. Leave a comment in the box below.
What is independence?March 6, 2012 at 4:44 pm | Posted in Uncategorized | 2 Comments
Tags: AGE UK, Aging, Bath-Knight, Care in Crisis, Care system, elderly people, Independence, independent living, StairSteady
The digital world is a wonderful place to share ideas and thoughts. Earlier today Ruth Amos inventor of StairSteady proposed the question, 'what does independence mean for you and your customers?' as part of a project to find out the meaning of independence to different people and businesses.
Here at Bath-Knight independence is a treasured way of life which we hope to enhance. Often my customers yearn to remain living independently in their own homes, which is why I get so much pleasure from knowing that my products, especially the Bath-Knight bath lift, are designed and used as tools to enable independent living for older people.
I have always been an advocate in encouraging older people to remain in their homes for as long as possible and this is because too often we hear horror stories regarding quality of care in elderly care facilities. More recently this poor service has been coupled with extortionate cost that far outreach funds available to an elderly people or their family.
This substandard quality of care has resulted in thousands petitioning for the government to take action. Today 60 charities including Age UK and Joseph Rowntree Foundation are lobbying MP's at Westminster, urging the government to reform the current care system into a service which is of high quality, cost effective and accessible to all.
These lacking qualities in our current care system seemingly strip away any independence for people receiving such care. I often question why an increased focus isn't put on the ways to enable elderly people to remain in their own homes for longer. Simple and thought-out modification can enable the freedom of independent living which integrates both safety and quality of life for elderly people.
So for me the premise of independence is the ability to live life as you desire with the freedom and choice to live at home. Growing older should not become a problem instead we should celebrate this feat of longevity together and adapt our lifestyles accordingly.
Age UK 10K run- Wrap Up & RunFebruary 28, 2012 at 4:56 pm | Posted in Uncategorized | 2 Comments
Tags: 10K run, AGE UK, Health and Fitness, Spread the Warmth, Wrap Up and Run
After a sporty start to the year, my daughter Lucy recently completed a marathon in Florida and Bath-Knight's call centre manager Emma announced that she would be taking part in the 2012 London Marathon. I thought I'd share with you more information about Age UK's 10K runs.
Throughout March Age UK will be hosting six 10K runs at up and down the country. 'Wrap Up & Run' will hopefully raise awareness of Age UK's winter campaign 'Spread the Warmth'. All fundraising money will go directly to the campaign which safeguards elderly people from ill health and in extreme cases death during the winter months.
I can't say that I'll be running 10K myself (it's a little too far for me) but I'm hopeful that the local event in Tatton Park will be a great training opportunity for my team of fitness fanatics- register for the run on Age UK's official website.
Unemployment – Older WorkersFebruary 16, 2012 at 3:02 pm | Posted in Uncategorized | 1 Comment
Tags: AGE UK, aged 50 plus, LinkedIn, Networking, Older Workers, Redundancies, Retirement, Unemployment, unemployment figures, Volunteering
Many people including myself had hoped to see signs of recovery in the economy during 2012. However a review of current unemployment figures has display the opposite. Unemployed in the UK has risen to 2.67 million and analysts have predicted that it will rise to 3 million by the end of 2012.
It would seem that those aged 50 plus are particularly getting a rough ride and more specifically women of this age group. It was reported today that 1 million women are currently unemployed, the highest statistic for the past 20 years.
Although the media often focuses on younger people who are struggling to get onto the career ladder. I feel that we shouldn't ignore the older section of society who are finding it hard to secure employment.
Generally those aged 50 plus have excellent experience both in the work place and life generally, and sadly many are unemployed through no fault of their own. Redundancies have risen significantly in recent years causing lots of established employees to fall victim to economic hardship.
So how can you secure a job aged 50 plus? I would recommend using all of your contacts. If you've got a little black book of contacts from previous positions dig it out and see if there is anyone who can help you out. And if you're online create a LinkedIn profile which allows you to create a digital history of your professional experience and connect with people you've worked with in the past.
Alternatively volunteering is an excellent option as it strengthens your potential – from experience voluntary work is encouraging to an employer- plus the social aspect offers more opportunities. I recall that good old saying 'It's not what you know, it's who you know'.
There are plenty of voluntary opportunities across the country but locally The Douglas Macmillan is always looking for willing volunteers. The Dougie Mac offer a variety of voluntary position so there is something for everyone regardless of knowledge, experience or skill.
When you do find a job remember that it can be more sustainable than you might think. Since last October it became illegal for an employer to force an employee into retirement, meaning that older people can work for longer. This may make some people shiver but if you've been out of work for a while, or don't want to give up the ghost just yet, it's worth knowing that you can work for as long as you feel fit too.
Age UK recently ran a feature on older people re-embarking into the world of work.
Age UK's Bobble Day 2012February 10, 2012 at 12:40 pm | Posted in Uncategorized | Leave a comment
Tags: AGE UK, Bobble Day 2012, Elderly, Grannies Inc, Spread the Warmth, Winter Warmers
This time last year the entire office when bobble crazy for Age UK's first ever 'Bobble Day', a fundraiser to support the charity's 'Spread the Warmth' campaign.
After great success in their first year Age UK decided to make Bobble Day an annual event. Encouraging the entire country to wear their winter woollies, knit something woolly or even better make lots of woolly bobbles (we attached ours to hats, glove and socks). Hopefully raising awareness of how important staying warm during the winter is, especially amongst elderly and vulnerable members of society.
Unfortunately we've not had time to make any Bath-Knight bobbles this year but we are all wearing our winter woollies. I'm sure you'll agree that today couldn't be a better example of how importantly wearing warm clothing, drinking plenty of hot tea and ensuring that your central heating is warming your home sufficiently actually is.
This year Age UK has joined forces with Grannies Inc a fantastic company who produced one off knitted accessories. I'd highly recommend checking out their website as it packed with fantastic ideas and collections.
Together they have created a woolly bobble hat dedicated to Bobble Day, which is available to purchase now. The brightly coloured woolly is the perfect accessory to wear if you're out visiting elderly friends, family and neighbours during wintery spells.
This year's campaign has also gained support from well-known faces within the media as Sir Roger Moore, Joanna Lumley, Jo Wood and Roxanne Pallett have all pledged their support to Bobble Day. You can join them by supporting Bobble Day via the Age UK website. Here you'll find a fool proof guide to making woolly bobbles and more information about the campaign in general.
