Sleep and sports team up to provide ultimate relaxation before the big game.

The “Bike it Forward” campaign was created by Bike Barn to help kids and adults alike get access to a reliable bicycle. People around New Zealand are encouraged to give their old bicycles into Bike Barn, which are then restored and donated to organisations that need them.

One such organisation is Whakarewarewa School in Rotorua. Bike Barn donated seven bicycles to the kids in this school, fully re-modelled and ready-to-use, to help the kids develop their motor skills and discipline. They plan to continue this plan going forward, stating, “We’re delighted to be able to provide support for the children at Whakarewarewa School and welcome further donations from the Rotorua community.”

Their community efforts are not exclusive to Rotorua. Bike Barn has also joined Bike Auckland’s bike shop partnership program to make owning a bike easier for Auckland residents. Anyone with a valid Bike Auckland membership card need only present it in-store for discounts up to 25% on bikes, accessories and bike services. They cite their reasoning thus: “we want to help get the message out and encourage more people to ride.”

Lastly, they have partnered with AA Insurance to give AA Members a number of discounts on their products. Presenting your AA Membership card in store will fetch you a ten percent discount on all bike purchases, and a twenty percent discount on services and accessory purchases. Kiwis can also enjoy a free Bronze-level bike service every year, so they can be sure their bikes are in perfect working order.

The competition will be comprised of 3 different lifts including Squat, Bench and Dead Lift. Competition begins promptly at 9:00 a.m. and is limited to 50 participants. Competitors will be divided by weight classes for both men and women.

This is a great event for the first time competitor and challenging for the seasoned lifter. Online registration is now open through November 5, 2019 at nifs.org/powerlifting.

Last year’s competition saw more than 50 athletes, with an overwhelming atmosphere of sportsmanship and support for all lifters. Luke Frandsen, a previous competitor said, “the annual NIFS competition always impresses me with the efficiency and lifter-focused atmosphere I've seen year after year. Your competition is always my favorite to watch and lift in.”

This month, the PSA World Tour tournament comes to Tring Squash Club, in Hertfordshire – close to Waste King’s headquarters. The winner of the tournament – which runs from 15 to 19 October and is known as the Arnold Homes Tring Open - will receive some £25,000.

Last year’s Arnold Homes Tring Open saw an all-Welsh final, with Caerphilly’s Peter Creed losing to the 2018 Commonwealth Games semi-finalist, Joel Makin. While Makin is absent this year, Creed – seeded 6 – is back. The top seed at Tring this year is England’s Daryl Selby.

Glenn Currie, Waste King’s Managing Director, commented, "As a keen squash player, I’m excited that some of the world’s best professional players will be returning to Tring as part of the PSA World Tour – and I’m delighted that Waste King can help make that happen."

“Much as I’d have liked to have been playing in the tournament, my primary focus for the last 12 years has been helping to provide a friendly, efficient, cost-effective waste collections, clearance and recycling service which is environmentally friendly,” he added. “Unlike the PSA World Tour, Waste King’s activities may not – yet – span the world but we now operate throughout the UK, working with commercial and domestic customers.

“So, while some of the world’s elite squash players will be playing hard at the tournament in Tring, Waste King will be working hard to clear waste around the country and make it a more environmentally friendly place.”

This spring seminar will be timed to open the 2020 Narragansett Bay boating season by bringing awareness to the dangers associated with vessels hitting wakes and waves while underway. Dangerous vessel wakes and sea conditions are blamed for countless injuries and Fulweiler llc believes many boaters fail to appreciate the deadly combination of speed, planing boat hulls and an impact with a wake or wave.

Each year, thousands of people get hurt on vessels. With recreational vessels traveling at faster speeds and with more people recreating on Narragansett Bay, Fulweiler llc says it is critical to try and make a difference by focusing the attention of vessel operators and passengers on the dangers of vessel wakes.

"Boat wakes and even your typical waves are hurting people," says admiralty lawyer John K. Fulweiler. "I wrote about the topic a few months ago for a boating magazine because it's an issue that I'm seeing more and more. We see injured passengers in our offices and I read about boating accidents involving vessel wakes and waves. If we can underscore the importance of this topic to boat owners, we think it'll make a difference. They need to understand their legal responsibility in such situations and appreciate some tactics for dealing with a wake or wave."

The seminar is expected to be coupled with a social media campaign that will encourage the sharing of wake and wave pictures. "It's one of those things," John says, "that if we can bring awareness to the issue, it might make a big difference. These are incidents where operator inattention is one of the big problems and maybe talking about it more will shake free some of that inattention."

From the Gulf Coast to the Northeast, Fulweiler llc is proud to represent injured maritime workers and passengers. "We're a maritime claims firm at the core," John Fulweiler explains. "We fight for what's right for our clients and we do it as lawyers who know the sea. For instance, I still hold a current Coast Guard license."

Fulweiler llc has a battle-tested reputation for aggressive and persistent representation of clients pursuing maritime claims throughout the East and Gulf Coasts. The New York Times and legal publications have sought the Firm's comments on various maritime legal issues, and the Firm is regularly sought out for its admiralty law expertise.
