Drivers in safety vest use new Ice Screen screens light

The Italian Givi presented at the last trade fair of Milan a new range of high-tech deflectors for motorcycle and scooter. Except wearing a safety vest to keep visibility, when they cross the lights of an automobile, its windscreens and bubbles “Ice Screen” illuminate in blue. An obvious security advantage for night and winter trips!

When riding a motorcycle or scooter, good visibility on the road reduces considerably the risk of road accidents. In the absence of democratization of the yellow vest, so-called “high visibility” solutions have multiplied: retro-reflective inserts, switched to intelligent materials and even LEDs. With its latest innovation, the Italian Givi pushes the concept a little further…

In the framework of the last EICMA fair in Milan, he introduced a new concept of front defroster stamped “Ice Screen”. The idea is as simple as it is effective: when the device is illuminated by traffic lights moving in the opposite direction, it emits a powerful blue light that resembles a neon light like reflective material. Its traditional role, protection against wind and rain, is thus doubled with an active safety feature!

This innovation has just been released from Givi cartons and is only available for 2 models: the Honda CB 500 F (2016) and the Honda SH 125i (2012-2016) scooter. The complexity of manufacturing (application of pigments on edges and new polishing technique) also prevents its use on large surfaces: it will be necessary to wait to see disembark Ice-shields high-protection protection.

The new Givi Ice Screen range is developed on the basis of the standard models, it benefits from the same advantages, starting with its simplicity of adaptation. Each bubble or windscreen is mounted on the original fasteners thanks to a supplied hardware kit. Motorcycle can drive it safety with reflective vest and use this new accessory. While waiting for the release of a version for Yamaha T-Max 2017, the models for CB500F and Sh125i are displayed at the respective prices of 142.60 and 70.10 €.

Hip to reduce the burden on the tension of the reflective material with support software introduction

NIPPO is 29 days, in pavement construction and asphalt materials for the plant, announced the introduction of the support software that can reduce the burden of the hip due to the work. Agriculture and logistics, to the lumbar support wear of Morita Holdings with a proven track record in the nursing care field “rakunie (Rakunie)”, adopted a new model fitted with a cover-type reflective material the company has proposed. Reduce the fatigue accumulation in such work and transport at room temperature when material in the kneeling position to use the dragonfly and the scoop. Safety vest marked with a reflective material to wear in outdoor work also becomes unnecessary.

The company as one of the working environment improvement measures starts the test introduction of fatigue mitigation suit in 2002. Paver, product manufacturing, such as to about 50 people, including a woman in charge of the testing operations asked to wear a plurality of types of suits such as a motor-driven or compressed air type, it was evaluated in the assist force and a feeling of wear.

Paving work, in addition to often work in the kneeling position, crouching, such as marking work and operation of the machine, one is working posture is different depending on the contents in the work you do in one day. For this reason, it was decided to adopt the wearing feeling and desorption of labor is less Rakunie.

It was released Rakunie to 12 years, using the tension of the previous of stretch elastic reflective fabrics using the back (rubber) to support the lumbar region. In the experiment to lift the luggage from knee to waist height, make sure that the burden of the erector spinae muscles and thigh (roughly) biceps to support the stooped posture can be reduced an average of 17%.Any color is black. Selling price is 23,000 yen; there are about 12,000 pieces sales of so far.

The company has been required to wear a safety vest equipped with a reflective material in the outdoor work, there were numerous opinion that “when used in conjunction with support software and safety vest in the summer of field sultry”.

For this reason, we proposed a reflective material of the cover expression that can be retrofitted in the fastener to Morita Holdings. Increasing the visibility of the night worker, also improved the safety of the work.

Reputation of the new model is the very best, the person who was wearing in a total material factory is referred to as “the fatigue accumulation is small; it has become a necessity not do without.” Aida Engineering Division General Engineering Department production machinery center machine development manager has been with the “I want to continue to provide appropriate to a person in need.”

Volunteers wear safety vests are at the service of their village

Momentum seems to be born, pushing people to give a “helping hand” occasional village. These do not sulk-pocket savings in terms of labor.

They progress heads lowered in the tall grass, the steeple of the village piercing the sky away in this marshy area of the valley or along a rolling county. They are generally identifiable by their fluorescent reflective vests and gloves, and hang a trash bag still too heavy. They erase the shame from tirelessly behind the perpetrators of illegal waste deposits, and do it for nothing. They are simple villagers taking things in hand, and a little over rural municipalities that are struggling to cope, as confesses Olivier Citron.

Washing machines, tires, bottles…

The mayor knows it can count on the action of the Exona association, which, twice a year, cleans the campaign, as will be the case on 3 December: “The town does not directly appeal to them, they are independent, but I have to admit that their action relieves municipal employees who could not make it to pick up.”

Pick up, but not just that, it’s also that fact, once a year – next time Saturday, March 11 – At the All ages association. “It’s now been two years since we organize this kind of beaten. It is from 15 to 20 pickers, and I would say that in the space of one morning, we subtract the nature around 300 kilos of rubbish, “says the President Martine. Some 90 glass bottles, not to mention plastic ones, but pieces of washing machines, tires … “It’s impressive, filled an entire trailer before sending it all to the dump. ” “That’s why we only accept children wear safety vest accompanied” says Martine, on behalf of his association, believes normal “this small gesture towards the village,” happy to provide garbage bags.

They repair the village

A village solidarity equally appreciable therefore, and also Boulancourt (terraced town Seine-et-Marne side), but we will also find another form this time. Is not this that was held in July the first day? If, and it has gathered a dozen villagers and elected officials around mini-sites that list Chantal, Associate Mayor 160 inhabitants: “We mainly remade the bus shelter, that is painted, with mounting a wall in front with his glass to cut the wind and rain the students waiting since the early morning. A Way of the Cross, then in the nettles, was cleared and repainted, we punched a hole in the pavement and also quilted flowers … We for example, provided the paint, but it makes you realize savings at Workforce. ”

The delegate mayor evokes its scope of action: “A dormitory area, many leave work early to Paris and return late with reflective material at night; it was also an opportunity for them to meet, to invest a little in the life of town. I think this type of action could be developed in the future; it is also perhaps one of the solutions to budgetary problems encountered in rural areas. ”

There must also odd jobs to do there … City staff to troubleshoot. “Do not imagine that it is to work for people in their place, but it is true that it represents a significant helping hand,” says Chantal, grateful.

“A significant helping hand”

But it had been created as well as Augerville the mayor did not say anything when he praises the citizen service provided. “People swing their garbage in the woods, unscrupulous contractors toss their rubble, we find old doors or tires in the river, appliance along hiking trails … But, as it has have happened, are sometimes found an envelope with an address among garbage … “Out of respect flouted nature, Olivier Citron then called the gendarmes that provide a statement and initiate legal proceedings. What, no doubt, bring the offender in the right way? And relieve some of the unbearable task the volunteers of the campaign to rescue their town.

Precautions of reflective accessory for running in cold weather

Practicing outdoors when the temperature drops is good for health. It is still worth taking some precautions of reflective material. Cold can also be dangerous.

In times of cold, the temperature and air quality changes strengthen the immune system. Energy consumption is increased and makes training more effective. Joel Gaillard, former international veteran 3,000m steeplechase, and coach of the OC, gives you five tips to lead you in these conditions.

Warm up. The body takes longer to warm when the cold is there. It is therefore essential to devote at least 20 minutes to a gradual warming of all muscle groups, so as not to traumatize the muscles, tendons and joints.

Cover up well. The training in cold weather requires the wearing warm clothing with reflective tape. For clothing when the temperature drops, it is recommended to use the “onion principle” which is to multiply and isolate each layer. Cover well the extremities (head, feet, hands) that are naturally very hot areas.

Warm up after exercise. After training, do not wait to take off your wet or damp clothing. The immune system is particularly weak and vulnerable effect directly within 30 minutes of effort. And then wrap up warm.

Think of recovery. Recovery is just as important as warming up. Your training is completed, obtain and breathe for a few minutes before joining a warm place, so as to prevent your muscles from cooling too quickly.

Be careful at night. Be very careful if you are going to train at night. It is essential to have at least a fluorescent safety vest to be seen and a headlamp to see if you operate in poorly lit places.

Guides with safety vest

If the cars are still on the way, often only helps the breakdown service on. But some problems can be solved itself also in modern vehicles with some reflective material. However, if the electronics involved, should we leave it alone.

The elders can remember that we find: There was a time when it was almost de rigueur to make some small repairs on his vehicle itself. The technology of VW beetles was simply constructed; carburetor or belt gave people with basic technical understanding no unsolvable riddles. Therefore, many drivers were able to make their car in case of a minor glitch itself afloat again.

Today this is often different. “The core problem is to identify the cause of a defect without diagnostic device,” says Sabine Goetz by the Automobile Club of Germany the impact of electronics in modern cars. Thomas of the Schweinfurt Vehicle Academy adds: “As a non-specialist, you do not even see today under the hood usually the individual components.”

That leaves the owners of newer vehicles only left to call a tow or Subsidiary, as the carriage road causes problems? Subject of the damage electronic components, you should leave it alone. Who does not know what he is doing, could hear the damage even bigger warns Maximilian Maurer by ADAC in Munich: “Modern vehicles take amateur repair attempts have morning sickness.”

Not call the breakdown service for every little thing

However, a few operations are still possible: a tire change, for example. Care should be taken of course is to hedge the scene by a warning triangle, hazard lights and reflective vest. But there is also when changing the tires pitfalls: Jacks operate on many different operating principles. Previous Try is so popular.

As a side effect you will find so out even if the wheel wrench in the tool kit is sufficient, or whether better accessory retailers a more stable copy should be purchased. Such tools are also available with pull-out extensions. then less power is required for the release of the wheel bolts.

In addition, there are still some other things in each car. Technology Professional Geis enumerates: “A set Ring mouth key in the most common sizes in order to loosen the nuts and tighten can, screwdriver, a pliers, a meter of wire, a roll tape, a flashlight, a set of light bulbs and a liter Oil.”

With wire and reflective tape, for example, loose parts could be fixed makeshift. The tape is smaller leaks were sealed at least for the way to the garage. Even a sufficiently thick jumper cables or a tow rope can help says Geis. “In modern vehicles, the loop for the tow rope is usually hidden under a cover. If it has to be screwed, then you should know that the bolts usually have a left-hand thread.” The emergency release for the fuel filler flap and boot should be tried quiet time, Geis advises in the event that the electronic central locking does not want one.

Who does not know such things, look up needs. Therefore, all experts advise not to remove the user from the car. “In today’s cars, the well 180 pages can be thick,” says ADAC man Maurer. “Nevertheless, they can be calm even read completely, maybe on a rainy weekend.”

Elementary school students are quite bright with reflective vest

With the beginning of autumn, the days are noticeably shorter. It begins the period in which the children in the morning go in the dark to school. Wear them while still dark clothes, they are seen by other road users worse. One child in dark clothing, for example, only seen from 25 meters – with a luminous reflective vest, it is at dusk since up to 140 meters for motorists visible. That’s a huge difference, as security expert’s stress.

Therefore, “Gelber Engel” the ADAC Foundation distributed this year again bright yellow safety vests to first graders, so this thanks to the attached reflective material are better seen when they wear these to school. The sooner the child is seen on the road, the more time the driver of a brake and / or evasive maneuvers. It is precisely children are the most vulnerable participants in road traffic. Still crashing many of them on the road, because they are not or too late to be seen. They are not adults and take their environment differently. In addition, they do not have the necessary overview due to their height and are also often not the road hazards aware.

But alone with the wearing of safety vests with reflective material is not enough, the correct behavior on the road has to be trained. “The schedule of the new first year is almost six weeks of enrollment not only reading, writing and arithmetic, but in the context of tangible lessons they learn, among other things, how to behave as pedestrians at traffic lights. These we have also virtually at a traffic lights rehearsed near the school, “said teacher road safety education in the Heinrich Schmitz-primary school. Then they joined forces to develop theoretically how a road safely crossed without traffic lights and on what you doing all must respect. In the week before the autumn holidays, the first graders sat around this part of the practice, while the new safety vests were equally used.

But before Grothe went on the road with the 26 students, she showed them still on the playground how such a high visibility vest works by them with a flashlight. “I know that the West already out of kindergarten. The strips glow in the dark when there light” of Jan Six years knows Together with his classmates he should then cross the first street in front of the primary school. “Left-right, left … nothing to see here, I can go,” said the two studied the rule and looked it in the appropriate directions. It was not a car or bicycle, and so Jan could safely cross the street.

In addition to the West the school received yet sufficient information for teaching, and for the parents there are useful tips for safe school.

Because all should know that in addition to the proper behavior on the road and the regular wearing of safety vests is important. Only then will the visually protective companion can have full effect, not only on the daily commute to school.

Reflective material caring for children in autumn

With the arrival of autumn, the days grow shorter and the weather changes, which can bring special risks to children. More people can’t see very clearly if you don’t wearing reflective vest at night.

The fact is that the days become shorter; it means that young people could go home walking or cycling extracurricular activities at dusk or when it’s dark.

Experts Pediatric Hospital of the University of California at Davis and Injury Prevention Program at UC Davis say they should teach children to make sure they can see, even when visibility is low.

To prevent injury, advise parents to remind their children the following:

Go down the sidewalk and kept out of the asphalt. It is important to teach cross only at the end of the street and never between parked cars.

Wearing some shiny clothes, like reflective jackets. They can also wear shoes with reflective material or have a small warning light in the bag, backpack or belt loop so drivers can see them.

Use lights at night. Install headlights and taillights on bicycles or scooters for their children to be switched when it is dark.

Stay alert and wear a helmet. Remind your children about the risks of riding a bike or scooter near cars and insist they wear helmets whenever they do are.

The parks are another place where children may be at risk.

More than 200,000 injuries occur annually in the parks in the United States, often from falls caused by wet conditions, according to experts at UC Davis. They suggest that parents teach their children to follow these steps:

Pay attention to the surroundings and be careful with playgrounds, including transoms and bars.

Wear sneakers with laces.

Avoid putting your head between the bars or chains.

Use handrails on bridges and gateways.

Avoid devices that have sharp edges and tools exposed.

Do not jump from swings or structures with height or from one device to another.

Children who play sports in autumn, like soccer or football, should take precautions to protect themselves from head injuries. They should always carry equipment that fits snugly them, including helmets, mouth guards, knee pads, elbow pads, shin guards and shoes. Children who play sports in autumn should also:

Do a warm and gentle stretching before playing.

Drink plenty of water during workouts or games to stay hydrated.

Footballers should never “head” the ball, especially those under 10 years.

When the colder weather arrives, children who play winter sports should rest when you feel tired.

It is important with several layers of safety clothing, sunglasses, goggles and sunscreen plus protective gear such as helmet and wrist guards.

Gal Gadot, a real ‘Wonder Woman’

The first super heroine of Hollywood blockbuster was Miss Israel, served in the army of his country and unwittingly has become a modern icon of feminism.

Few women have won a military medal and a tiara in a beauty contest. Gal

Is the new Wonder Woman is one of them.

Ex-Queen beauty lover motorcycling with reflective tape, former instructor of combat in the Israeli army, at age 30 the girl who dreamed of being a lawyer is conquering the entire planet with a role that has allowed him to not only revive one of the most emblematic figures of comics, but also empower the role of women in a male-dominated industry.

And although their presence is merely secondary in the film Batman v. Superman, many viewers in the Amazon heroine steals the limelight from his two companions. Just like someone wearing reflective vest at night. In fact, many of the criticisms that have been wroth against the film mercilessly agree that the most important moments of the film are when Gadot appears clad in armor of warrior princess.

The Israeli has had no great responsibility to revive the world’s most important symbol of female comics. Perhaps because it was celluloid, beyond his lasso of truth and reflective armbands, its picturesque path makes it a wonder woman of flesh and blood.

The road to Wonder Woman

Gal was born in a small town in Israel. Her exotic features come from a genetic network with German roots, Czech, Polish and Israelis. Gal won the competition and was to participate Ecuador, Miss Universe, where did not have a significant performance and stayed out very early. Although the experience of having participated in Miss Universe could open many, Gadot postponed what could be a successful career in the modeling world for military service in their country. In Israel the law provides that women serve in the army, so it is common to see them clad in fatigues. What is not so usual is that a woman train soldiers in the use of weapons. Gadot did the result of a great job in his first three months in training camps.

He spent two years as a military instructor and when he had finished in the military thought of becoming a lawyer, but fate had other plans.

A casting director was interested in her and recommended her to audition for the coveted role of Bond girl in the delivery Solace. However, he lost in the final stages the role at the hands of the Ukrainian, who, for those coincidences of life, would be competent to play Wonder Woman, but this time the paper went to the hands of Israel. However, the same casting director did not want to lose that magic combination of a true femme fatale-like supermodel. He convinced submitted to another project, the fourth installment of the Fast and Furious series, which Gadot finally made the leap to Hollywood.

His performance in the Fast and Furious saga attracted attraction in the world. People wondered where it came from this new talent that seemed to carry around an entire career in action films. The actress flirted with big roles, but took his talent was Zack Snyder, responsible for conceiving the mega project to film the superhero universe DC. And so it come the opportunity to become the first superhero of the time of the blockbusters of the century. And with its appearance in Batman v. Superman, he remained forever as the first Wonder Woman film.

A female symbol

The emergence of Wonder Woman in a superhero picture almost entirely dominated by men, with few exceptions such as the Black Widow Avengers or X-Men- mutants came at the time when most talked about equal roles in Hollywood.

Just a few months later, Jennifer Lawrence, who also gave birth to a kind of heroine in The Hunger Games, the shouting was taken and reported his anger to learn that there was significantly received less money than their colleagues wearing clothes with reflective material in the film American Hustle, when all the roles were equally important.

Gal has also used his newfound fame as Wonder Woman to focus attention on the inequality of women in film. “There is still much room for more women to enter the industry, not just actresses, also producers, writers and directors. I think we live a very interesting woman in all fields moment. I hope we continue like this, “He told a news conference.
