The Erfolgsstory BMW Bikes continues BMW Cruise Bike junior receives talks DOT award: product Design 2007.

Munich. Innovative Design and outstanding functionality are largely written with BMW - even if it concerns the small ones. With children of approx. 6 to 9 years co-ordinated BMW Cruise Bike junior is special. The dynamic bicycle in wheel size 20'' connects an unusual Look in unmistakable BMW optics with solid technology, long-lived, maintenance-poor equipment and high-quality security characteristics. For this successful combination BMW Cruise Bike junior receives the renowned talks now DOT award: product Design.
The international jury talk DOT awards evaluates the submitted products according to different criteria, like innovation, functionality, formal quality, and ergonomics. Like that is e.g. the seat tubing angle in such a way laid out with the Cruise Bike junior that geometry of the framework harmoniert always optimally with the size of the child. The grasp width of the brake levers can be adjusted individually and to be offered a particularly co-ordinated Federgabel and the 3-Gang-Nabenschaltung with turning grasp to highest serving and travelling comfort for the young Biker. Circuit and Felgenbremse are low-friction and can with small energy expenditure be operated. Front and back reflectors, tires with reflex strips and pedals with light emitting diodes provide for best visibility.
The singular Design of the high-quality Kinderrades excited likewise attention: The Cruise Bike junior orients itself completely at its „adult “models and convinces with dynamic forms and proportions, which the organization style of the mark BMW reflect.
That talk DOT Design award is also about 6.000 entries in his disciplines talk DOT award: product Design, talk DOT award: communication Design and talk DOT award: Design concept one of the prominent and largest Design competitions world-wide.

CHARLIE DIMMOCK GOES WILD AT ROLLS-ROYCE
http://m1ka.smugmug.com/photos/148973858-M.jpg
The competition was arranged in partnership with the Sussex Wildlife Trust, an organisation of which Rolls-Royce is a Gold member. This programme offers scope for children to develop their creative skills within the National Curriculum and to develop understanding of the environment. The brief was to create a garden which provides habitats for creatures like butterflies, ladybirds and spiders, as part of the food chain for the many varied wildlife species that are frequently seen at the Goodwood site. These include swans, ducks, geese, moorhens, cormorants, terns, badgers, deer, foxes and owls. The Fishbourne school children will return regularly to tend the garden and see which animal species have colonised it.
http://m1ka.smugmug.com/photos/148973835-M.jpg
Rolls-Royce employees lent a hand too, preparing the ground and planting specially selected shrubs to encourage insect colonisation as part of the biological food chain at the 42-acre site. Rolls-Royce has already established over 400,000 trees and shrubs to encourage biodiversity and to ensure that the buildings blend in with the surrounding landscape.
http://m1ka.smugmug.com/photos/148973884-M.jpg
The main buildings at the Rolls-Royce manufacturing plant feature a ‘living roof’ which is planted with a variety of sedum plants. It extends to eight acres and is believed to be the largest in the UK. As well as acting as an ideal habitat for flora and fauna the roof also provides insulation in the winter and evaporative cooling in the summer, which cuts energy bills. A number of breeding pairs of skylarks were spotted nesting on the roof last summer. The grounds also feature a number of lakes which act as a heat sink for the climate control systems in the head office buildings, resulting in savings over the cost of air conditioning.
A custom-made owl box was placed in the grounds last December and more boxes are planned for the future.
http://m1ka.smugmug.com/photos/114221952-M.jpg
Ian Robertson, Chairman and Chief Executive, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars said, “We are committed to encouraging biodiversity by integrating the facilities here into the beautiful surrounding landscape. We were delighted to work with the children from Fishbourne CE Primary School and their garden, which will contribute to our longer term efforts to help ensure local wildlife is preserved.”
Dr Tony Whitbread, Chief Executive of the Sussex Wildlife Trust, said, “It is one of the Trust's main objectives to educate children about wildlife and the need to take care of the environment. It is vital that the next generation of decision-makers realises the importance of our local natural habitats and the wildlife that depends on them. We applaud the efforts of companies like Rolls-Royce which are contributing so much towards that aim.”

Two Rivers
A strong sense of Lake Michigan’s vibrant past as a fishing and shipping hub can be found in Two Rivers. Still active as a deep-water sport fishing port, Two Rivers captures the spirit of its heritage in several museum-like attractions. It also takes pride in being the birthplace of the ice cream sundae – discovered here in 1881. For a taste of that frozen treat, stop at the Washington House – part museum and part soda fountain. For outdoor relaxation and recreation, sweeping sand beaches line the city’s shoreline.

In the early 1920s they tried to change their touring image into a sporties one and employed talented tuner Dougal Marchant as development engineer. He converted an ohv Blackburne engine to overhead camshaft and it became the first 350cc to exceed 100mph.
