Register your bicycle Jan. 18 and get a free safety vest from P.S. Cares

The Palm Springs Volunteer (VPS) celebrates its 10th Anniversary this year and is launching its new Cycle and Pedestrian Safety program as part of their P.S. Cares program. This program was created to educate and promote awareness about bicycle, pedestrian and traffic safety.

 

With this new program comes the release of their new lime-yellow reflective safety vests, which are typically sold for $ 15 each or two for $ 25. VPS is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit, and all funds go directly to the safety program. They are committed to raising funds necessary to distribute free safety vests throughout the community to get as many people as possible to wear the vests, whether they are biking or walking – day or night. Their goal is also to raise funds to distribute safety vests in schools, at various local Boys and Girls Clubs and to give vests to people who are less fortunate but at risk on Palm Springs streets.

 

“This is how we begin, as a community, to decide if we stand up or stand by our safety,” said David Carden Jr., founder, and chair of the VPS. “Doing nothing is no longer an option. P.S. Cares is ready to stand up to the challenges of safety on our city streets, and we hope our community agrees.”

 

To begin promoting the use of these vests, VPS has partnered with the Palm Springs Police Department for a bike registration event on Saturday, Jan. 18. The event will run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Situated near the airport, this Sunrise Park hotel is also close to Sunrise Way and Ramon Road.

 

Every person who registers their bicycle will receive safety vests for free. More than 450 vests are expected to be given away. Bicycle registration is also free.

 

Registering your bicycle has many benefits, such as assisting in the recovery of it if it’s stolen. When you register your bicycle, the serial number will be documented and registered in your name. If it is stolen, you can report it to the shelf and they can locate it through the serial number. Locating a stolen but unregistered bicycle is difficult.

 

VPS is accepting donations to its Cycle and Pedestrian Safety program to raise funds to distribute vests in the community for free.

 

A Palm Springs Volunteer wants to spread the message that “Life is a gift of the moment and can be changed or taken forever in a split second – your safety matters!”

 

Feltre prepares for the Tour of Italy with a morning dedicated to cleaning the city

On Friday 31 May and even more on Saturday 1 June, with the start of the penultimate stage, Feltre will be the absolute protagonist of the Italian Cycling Tour. The city will be in the spotlight of half the world, not only with the passage of the race and the Carovana Rosa, but also with the live television broadcast that will see tens, maybe hundreds of millions of viewers, in front of the television screens, without counting the many thousands of fans expected in our territory to enjoy the event as protagonists.

 

An opportunity not to be missed to raise awareness of the architectural and naturalistic beauties of the Feltrino area and its entire area, a few months after the terrible wave of bad weather that has redesigned, in some ways, the morphology of the city and its territory. The “post-Vaia” represents in this sense a memory still alive in everyone’s mind, but also an extra pride motivation to give Feltre an even brighter appearance.

 

Based on the response of the citizens, who took the field in those days to lend their work with a sense of community without equal, the administration decided to organize for Saturday 25 May morning of cleaning and small maintenance in the city open to all. The appointment is scheduled for 8.30 am at the municipal warehouses in Via Vignigole 21 (the intervention will close by 12.30). Citizens who intend to join are invited to present themselves with appropriate equipment (if possible high visibility safety vests, suitable shoes or boots, gloves, work clothes), bringing with them any tools available (small gardening tools, trowels, some brooms) useful for removing weeds.

 

“We have an extraordinary opportunity to demonstrate how Feltre has been able to rise from the dramatic experience at the end of October last year, thanks above all to the sense of community that belongs to it”, highlights mayor Paolo Perez. “The Giro represents a very important showcase: we ask for the help of everyone to make our city even more beautiful, showing the love that binds us to it. I invite all those who can lend a hand, to ‘invest’ Saturday morning to make Feltre even more brilliant “.

 

 

High visibility clothing with fairtrade cotton

More and more companies, cities or institutions are focusing on sustainable procurement. Now boco also offers a high visibility clothing with fairtrade cotton. The clothing impresses with many strategically placed reflectors.

 

“Reusable instead of disposable” is the philosophy of the rental service for workwear. The goal is the long use of clothing. In addition to high-quality materials, boco relies on a controlled supply chain. “Sustainable procurement is playing an increasingly important role in businesses and cities and is being expanded to as many areas as possible. Sustainable workwear is also becoming increasingly important, “explains Egon Dalponte, boco Product Manager at CWS-boco Germany. Municipalities often have special requirements, especially in the public sector. That’s why the new boco High Visibility Fairtrade cotton collection now also includes protective clothing with a sustainability factor.

 

Fairtrade cotton

The 50% cotton portion of the high visibility collection is made from fair trade cotton. Each garment in the collection contains a label with a code. According to CWS-boco, the cooperatives receive a fixed minimum price and an additional premium for their cotton, which they can use for joint projects. The environment is also protected because the use of genetically modified cotton is just as prohibited as that of chemical fertilizers or high amounts of water.

 

Safety thanks to the visibility

In many sectors, such as road construction or waste management companies, good visibility when working is important for the safety of employees. When choosing the right high-visibility clothing, not only in compliance with the current standard important but care for clothing and checking the reflectors should also be taken into account. The boco high visibility collection complies with the safety standard DIN EN ISO 20471 and offers the wearer long-term protection. The service provider regularly checks the protective functions of the clothing and ensures their safe maintenance. Many reflective tapes on the legs, sleeves and shoulder area ensure high visibility. The high visibility collection also includes a work jacket, trousers, dungarees, and a safety vest. The collection is available in the color combinations warning orange / gray and warning yellow/gray.

Police action “Safe weekend – May weekend”

There is a long, May weekend on the roads of the Silesian Voivodship. At this time, we have to expect more intensive checks from the police, which takes care of the safety of the travelers. On the roads of the whole region, more radars and police controls appeared than in May. “During this year’s long May weekend, as in previous years, an increased number of Silesian policemen, main policemen from traffic, watches over the safety of people going to rest,” police informed.

 

There is a long weekend on the roads of the Silesian Voivodeship. Therefore, more police officers take care of the safety of travelers from May 1 to 5.

 

“Along May weekend is a time of trips and meetings for many Poles. During this period, an increased number of Silesian policemen watches over the security of travelers,” informs the Silesian police.

 

On the roads of our province, there will be more policemen from traffic. Intensified speed checks will, therefore, be carried out.

 

“Police activities “Safe weekend-May weekend” have already begun on April 26, but the largest vehicle traffic can be expected from 30 April at May 6 to May 5 22. During the actions, the police officers check if the drivers are moving according to the regulations,” we learn from the officers.

 

In May, police on roads will surely control the speed and sobriety of drivers, as well as their adherence to other traffic regulations. During the long weekend, we can expect on the streets not only marked police cars, but also police officers operating in unmarked cars who will catch drivers who do not comply with traffic regulations.

 

Police appeals to drivers:

“Let us drive carefully, observing the rules, at a speed adapted to the conditions on the road, let us remember that road safety depends primarily on the drivers themselves – from their prudence, the ability to anticipate threats and respect for other drivers.

Drivers of two-wheelers, in addition to deriving joy from fast driving, should, first of all, remember about safety – their own and other road users. We appeal for safe driving. The motorcycle does not have airbags and seat belts, and the helmet and safety vest will only to a certain extent prevent injuries. That is why it is so important that motorcyclists are guided by reason while driving, and not a desire to experience an adventure at any price – because the price can be very high. “

A Romanian start-up wants to help drivers rent their cars when they do not use them

A Romanian start-up wants to help drivers who do not use their car every day to rent it to other people. Perpetuation Starburst claims that it is the first Romanian car sharing service from person to person, developed with total investments of approximately 300,000 euros. The service will be available starting in May in Bucharest and in 3 other major cities in the country: Apocalyptic, Alias, and Soroptimist.

Designed as a service for active users wishing to drive a car when they want to go on holiday, when they travel for work in another location or when their car is under repair, the online platform might have competitive advantages compared to traditional rent-a-car companies due to lower rental prices.

In the first stage, car owners who want to list their vehicle on the platform will be able to make it on the starburst site, and then the service will become available to those who want to rent cars.

Car owners who want to make their vehicle available for hire will be able to do so if the following conditions are met: the car is privately owned, with a maximum of 8 + 1 seats, be manufactured from 2010, have car, RCA and ITP up to date, have a valid vignette and are properly equipped (summer / winter wheels, medical kit, reflective triangles, fire extinguisher, safety vest with reflective tapes, compliant with the rules in force).

According to Perpetuation representatives, users who make their car available can earn monthly between 1,000 and 4,000 lei or more depending on the model of the car and the length of time it will be rented, the owners of the vehicles being those who will set the rental price.

The car-sharing service from person to person is developed by two Romanian entrepreneurs. Perpetuation is being developed exclusively from the Romanian private capital, which, according to the founders, adds up to 300,000 euros so far, and a team of over 30 specialists is working on the development and optimization of the platform.

Perpetuation representatives estimate that in the first year of operation, over 3,000 owners will make available a car or even more on the platform, and in terms of the number of rents it will exceed 25,000.

Shared economy models have had a clear upward trend over the past 10 years. Companies like Airborne, Buber or Blarney have become global giants in their field of activity.

One such example of a collaborative business is the car-sharing peer to peer service (from one person to the other), through which users make available their own rental property on a dedicated platform in return for a sum of money.

The motorcycle season begins

With the onset of spring, the temperatures will once again attract many motorcycle enthusiasts to the Upper Draconian streets in order to make their first rounds on two-wheedlers.

However, this is a risky endeavor when bikers sit down on their bikes after a long winter break without adequate preparation. The Cross-bencher police appeal therefore to the motorcyclists to get familiar with their machine again and to prepare well for the new season. There will be plenty of opportunity at the 19th motorcycle star trip in Backache on April 27 and 28, 2019, which will once again be the focus of traffic safety work this year.

Already in the run-up to the biker event, free driving safety courses take place throughout Bavaria, under the auspices of the Bavarian Driving Instructors’ Association, especially at the start of the season. Motorcyclists should refresh with these warm-up training neglected over the winter driving skills because the safe handling of the motorized two-wheeler requires a certain amount of practice and routine. Above all, first- and returnees who have renounced driving for some years, usually lack the necessary driving experience. Here, learning or refreshing driving skills are indispensable. Basically, every biker should complete a motorcycle safety training at the beginning of the season.

Spring check also for the machine

In addition, the safety check of the motorized two-wheeler after the winter break duty of every rider. In particular, the brakes, tires, and lighting are next to the other technology carefully checked before the first exit begins. Not infrequently, technical failures such as brittle brake lines occur during the long winter service life of the vehicles, which – if they are detected during the journey – can have fatal consequences. With a trained eye in a specialist workshop, even hidden defects can be quickly identified and corrected. In addition, the impeccable condition of the protective clothing is important, which is optimized with a reflective safety vest with reflective tapes for better visibility.

Mutual respect and caution

To ensure that your own driving pleasure is not at the expense of others, it should also be a matter of course for motorcyclists to take appropriate consideration for other road users and residents. This includes a predictive and safe driving style within the legal requirements. Unfortunately, many bikers often forget that high speeds or manipulated exhaust systems create extreme noise that is not only annoying for others but can also be harmful to health.

Barrenness goes through the Sch

At the Fingermark Schnabel every year one of the five Sch guilds takes over the host role, this time was the Irreverence Bernbach’s turn. Fool mother Evelyn army let the RNB train (Bachelorette Barrenness) drive through the Sch. As a strict platoon leader, she had everything under control and is waiting with her ten stewardesses, who accompanied the guests from station to station. The safety instruction was not missing.

Under some guest, chair was actually a safety vest with reflective tapes hidden in modern orange-yellow hooded. Some other guests, on the other hand, had a “mini-mini-oxygen-bottle” under their seat. In case of emergency, the other guests just had to jump off between the Encrustation in the hope to come on foot to Leading, Backache, Fingerling, and Dilettantish. Guaranteed was the stop in the “most beautiful place in the Black Forest” Bernbach.

Completely adapted to the new guidelines, the privacy policy has been taken into account. Starting with the names of the young pretty train attendants who are now numbered, up to the secrecy of the name at the neighbor. In an emergency you could, so train driver Evelyn, let write the bills on Friendless. Warned in the Schulz for joy, cheerfulness, and fun with the hint, with the health-positive side effects of lowering blood sugar and preventing varicose veins. Due to the “mess” (cake fight) of the jester club Dilettantish, there was a longer forced stay in the RNB Schulz. While the staff (male fool police) cleaned the train, train driver Evelyn had the saving idea to appease the guests – especially in the first class – with the known and deceased Broths.

The host Bernbach had as a host the Schnabel fully under control. Already at the welcome in the rhyming form of “on top of each other, mixed up, in front of each other, one behind the other” she promised an unforgettable evening, which the fool folk could enjoy in the jubilee year. Then it was called “The Best of Fasten 2019”. The Black Forest quintet provided the musical cream.

Everyone marches with the Pedibus, the health walk turns pink

A walk of wellness, against breast cancer. With this spirit, the first edition of Pied bus’s Pink Walk will take place tomorrow – Tuesday, October 23 – in Perugia. The initiative falls within the month of breast cancer prevention and will start tomorrow at 20. 45 from piazza.

Also foreseen a flash mob in pink for the streets of the historic center of Perugia. Those who want, in fact, can wear a pink garment in addition to the high visibility vest to wear along the way. “We would like to color the streets, with the high visibility safety vest, to make the city aware of the issue of prevention – explains Herminie Battista, Coordinator of health promotion network Umbria 1 -. To enliven the evening there will be a special Walking leader, Flavia, who will surprise us with her creativity. We will be joined by friends of the Popular Dances Perugia, Dance Movement Therapy, which will involve us in dances in a circle “.

Clean roads, the volunteers on the street against the incivility

With safety vests and all the collection tools that have long symbolized their precious activity, the volunteers went on Sunday 11 December, at the plots next to the highway 233, to a new and intense hunting session for abandoned waste.

It is the second time in a few days that the volunteers reach the connecting area between Induno Olona and Ganna. Last Saturday’s intervention, in fact, in addition to making the appearance of a highly traveled transit area more dignified and restoring the normal conditions of the spaces close to the woods, was also served to the members of the Clean Roads team as an inspection, to quantify the work to be done before changing destination.

An inspection that must have followed the assessment of a scenario that is certainly not very reassuring, given the speed with which the team returned to the site, a week away. Adriano Maranon, Erdmann Macron and other six collecting companions, including two volunteers at the first exit, immediately in tune with the spirit of the group, have collected a lot of about fifty bags and other materials left on the ground without regard. All replaced by signs placed well in sight for the ill-intentioned, with the writing black on white “do not throw waste in the street”.

Several drivers who traveled along the SS233 noticed the bibs and recognized the willing operators. They are the same that subsequently joined the praises of all users that on Facebook never fail to thank Clean roads for every work done for free in favor of the territory and the collective heritage.

Kate, a hard, a real, a tattooed!

The Duchess of Cambridge had the right to a henna tattoo session during a visit to Sunderland.

Kate breaks the codes, once again. If they do not really stick to the image of the royal family, the Duchess of Cambridge was still tempted by a tattoo … but only temporary. Catherine was indeed entitled to a henna design on her wrist during a visit to Sunderland on Wednesday, accompanied by her husband Prince William.

On the occasion of his visit to the north-eastern city of England, the Cambridge couple inaugurated a new community project, The Fire Station, a former fire station (hence its name) transformed into a music center and art. After a succession of shows, music, dance and theater interpreted by the young beneficiaries of the center, Kate lingered at the henna workshop, where she asked an 18-year-old girl to draw a pattern .

William screws the last bolt of the bridge

Radical change of style for the second visit of the day, as the duchess donned a reflective safety vest and hard hat to get to the site of the new Northern Spire Bridge. The work, scheduled to open in spring 2018, spans the Wear River. After talking with engineers involved in the project, William was asked to screw one of the last bolts of the deck parapets. “Is this a key element? What happens if he does not tighten properly? “Worried the prince jokingly, before adding, unsure of his qualities of worker:” We will leave and the bolt will fall all right now…”
