Women telling their stories and listening to other women’s stories: only by sharing their wisdom will the world’s women be able to build a better future for us all.
This is the philosophy behind “A Collection Of Us”, a brand new United Colors of Benetton collection, composed of four capsules which will be released in October, December, February and April, respectively. Heritage, technique, color, performance: each of the capsules revamps a central element of the brand’s identity by reinterpreting it and charging it with dynamic, contemporary meanings.
Knitwear, color and innovation hold “A Collection Of Us” together. The capsule collections bring this three-way alliance back to the center of the stage, highlighting the technical skills that create soft, polished, trendy, high performance knitwear, and drawing attention to the imaginativeness and forward looking spirit of Benetton fashion.
A global campaign will also be launched on October 22 to accompany “A Collection Of Us”. It will feature five female models, each belonging to a different generation and background, each carrying a message of emancipation and empowerment to be spread through digital and traditional media, and destined to all the world’s women.

Where there is light there is life. Natural light is fundamental to the quality of our lives and living environment. More than any other element, light, with its many moods and variations, can make a house a home.
Light enters our homes primarily through windows and doors. But light from above, through venting skylights, continues to gain favor when architects, designers, builders, remodelers, and homeowners consider effective and efficient sources of natural light and passive ventilation.

Ulmart’s stunning growth continues unabated as sales for the first six months of 2014 were up 31% in a year-on-year comparison. Sequential quarterly growth increased by 47%.
Ulmart’s half year results put the company at just below GMV of $610 million (VAT included). The company is forecasting GMV of $1.6 billion for the whole year which would put year-end sales at 33% higher than 2013.
Ulmart’s hybrid model which allows customer access to company’s fulfillments centers (currently there are 29 in the European part of Russia) continues to be a disruptive element in e-retail. Due to the particularities of the Russian infrastructure, reliance on last-mile delivery, the obsession of so many other world e-commerce leaders, is simply not a profit-creating option in Russia.

Today’s trucking industry is a key element of the immense distribution system that supports the U.S. economy and our citizens’ present standard of living. However, the continued rough economic climate has caused countless bankruptcies, massive layoffs, and reduced trucking volumes. As a result, trucking companies must look for new and creative ways to master two major business challenges that impact a fleet’s bottom line: ongoing expense control and government regulations compliance.

„Der neue Rapid Spaceback ist für uns ein Meilenstein: Er bedeutet den Einstieg in das strategisch wichtige Segment kompakter Kurzheck-Modelle. Im neuen Skoda-Design und den bekannten guten Eigenschaften unserer Autos tritt er frisch und dynamisch auf. Ein Kompakter mit sportlichem Chic, geräumig und praktisch, ideal für junge Menschen und Familien“, gibt sich der Skoda Vorstandsvorsitzende Winfried Vahland bei der Vorstellung des jüngsten Sprößlings des tschechischen Autobauers optimistisch. Und der Optimismus ist durchaus nachzuvollziehen, da der Spaceback nicht nur viel Platz, jede Menge ‚Simply Clever’ Ideen, Top-Sicherheit, interessante Individualisierungsmöglichkeiten, geringen Verbrauch und mit einem Einstiegspreis von 14.990 Euro ein sehr gutes Preis-/Wert-Verhältnis bietet, sondern sich bei ersten Testfahrten auch als leistungsstark und agil erwies. So macht Autofahren – wenn die Straße denn halbwegs frei ist – einfach nur Spaß. Der Rapid Spaceback setzt auf einen klaren, eigenständigen Auftritt – mit besonderem Chic. Ein Auto mit sportlicher Frische und dynamischer Eleganz. Besondere Akzente setzt die Seitenansicht. Sie wirkt im Vergleich zu konventionellen Kurzheck-Modellen sportlicher und gestreckter, fast Coupé-artig. Damit setzt sich das Fahrzeug optisch und funktional vom Wettbewerbsumfeld ab. Die dynamische Silhouette wird geprägt durch eine klare Linienführung, den langen Radstand (2,60 Meter) und die scharfe, hohe Tornadolinie. Das Heck unterstreicht den sportlichen Charakter des Spaceback. Es ist klar gezeichnet und wirkt ausgewogen und aufgeräumt. Ein schwarzes Diffusor-Element betont die horizontale Ausrichtung ebenso wie die breiten Heckleuchten im Marken-typischen C-Design. Das Frontdesign des Rapid Spaceback folgt dagegen bis zur B-Säule der Gestaltung der Rapid Limousine. Kernelemente: markanter Grill mit 19 vertikalen Lamellen und Chromeinfassung und neues Logo. Das Interieur zeichnet sich durch sportliche 3-Speichen-Lenkräder, schicke Dekorleisten und frische Designs für die Sitzbezüge aus. Typisch Skoda bietet der Innenraum viel Platz: Obwohl das neue Modell im Außenmaß knapp 18 Zentimeter kürzer ist als die Rapid Limousine, sind die Platzverhältnisse für die Insassen genauso großzügig wie beim ‚großen Bruder’. Der Rapid Spaceback bietet in seinem Segment die größte Kniefreiheit (64 Millimeter) und die größte Kopffreiheit hinten (980 Millimeter). Auch das Kofferraum-Volumen zählt mit 415 Litern bzw. mit 1.380 Litern bei umgeklappter Rücksitzbank zu den besten Werten im Segment. Zu diesem großzügigen Raumangebot kommen zahlreiche ‚Simply Clever’ Lösungen: Der Kofferraum hat zum Beispiel auf Wunsch einen doppelten Ladeboden, so dass das Gepäckabteil in zwei horizontale Ebenen eingeteilt werden kann und damit doppelt nutzbar ist. Den Doppelboden muss man nicht zu Hause lassen, falls man den maximalen Raum nutzen möchte – er ist einfach in die untere Position verschiebbar. Darüber hinaus bietet der Spaceback alle nützlichen Features, die aus dem Rapid bekannt sind.
Spain is the country with more bars per inhabitant in the world, making going out a founding element of Spanish culture. Historically, social relations have been built around bars. Whether between its walls or on its terraces lies the unmistakable gastronomy of tapas. To say Spanish tradition is to say tapas. And to say tapas is to say olives.
Olives have always been known as the Queen of the Tapas. There are plenty of reasons for this reign. Being a preserved food, they are always at their best moment of consumption. With a simple drain and serve, the waiter has the ideal appetizer ready. Having in its flavor notes of the four basic flavors; sweet, salty, bitter and sour, they go well with any type of beverage, well beyond its classic introduction in a dry martini.

Industry leaders attending the first Smart China Expo (SCE 2018) in China’s western city of Chongqing have articulated a new vision for how the world’s digital economy will evolve at the event’s Global Digital Economy Summit, a forum that brought together 650 participants under the theme “New Digital Economy, New Growth Engine.” Speakers projected a future in which Big Data reshapes the way businesses and governments operate, cooperate, and compete.
New forces being unleashed by current innovations threaten to disrupt the existing economic growth models of many industries, as digital information will rise to the same status as land and capital as a key element of productivity. Meanwhile, governments around the world are building “smart infrastructure” as they seek to use technology to upgrade power grids, railways, ports and toll roads, and seek to integrate everything. Big Data technology also helps build “smart cities,” boost consumption, and improve social welfare programs ranging from education to philanthropy to healthcare.
