Trade Thoughts: What is your forecast for what 2022 might hold for the industry?
With COVID-19 restrictions and shipping delays looking set to continue into 2022. This month, THIIS asked retailers from the mobility industry to give their forecasts for what 2022 might hold for the industry.
All thoughts were submitted to THIIS in January 2022…
Richard Holland Oakes, Managing Director of Recare
“It has been a bit of a rollercoaster two years; we have spent time re-organizing our position and re-structuring our strengths withing Recare. We have seen a swing of clients purchasing off the shelf products direct from the internet, the pandemic has brought this on as we can see more couriers running around day by day making deliveries straight to your door within hours.
“Recare have re-focused on its specialized market offering high end mobility solutions, specialized seating and pressure mapping coupled with the employment of a full time Mobility Seating Occupational Therapist. This has already given us the edge and will help to pave the way forward in 2022.
“As with most dealers the last 6 months has had a huge impact on delivery off products from our suppliers, this in turn stops growth and investment short term as we plan our exit from the pandemic.
“I do feel looking at the entry level ‘mobility shop’ type of business is possibly finding it much harder than the more specialized dealers as explained above what hasn’t helped is in the increase of the product’s, smaller dealer margins, shipping costs, surcharges and longer lead times, and this will in affect your gross profit and confidence in your growth over the next few years.”
Alastair Gibbs, Managing Director of TPG DisableAids
“If we thought 2021 was difficult I do not hold out much hope for the start of 2022. We are already starting to see stock shortages on the very basics of our trade and with the rocketing prices of raw materials and extremely difficult transport issues associated with both international and domestic freight, I can only see this getting worse before it gets better.
“We must remember that although the disabled equipment market is very important to us in the industry, it is only a very small part of the demand on the manufacturing resources of the world. When I hear tales of massive shortages for the motor industry and consider the size of their market by comparison, then our demands are, I am afraid, going to be someway down the list of priorities.
“Having just taken delivery of six new Ford vans that were ordered in February 2021 a 10 month order to delivery time, it makes me wonder how long scooters or wheelchairs might take in the future when the buying power of these manufacturers to get the raw materials required is insignificant compared to the buying power of Ford Motor Company.
“On a more simplistic view, I am not sure the customer expectations will be ready for these delays when we have become used to instant delivery from the likes of Amazon and being in the bricks and mortar frontline we will be the focus for the customers frustrations.”
Billy Finnie. Operations Manager at Mobility Scotland
“I forecast a very positive 2022 for the Mobility Sector, well, let me just qualify that a wee bit. I predicate a positive Q2, Q3 and Q4. Q1 will be somewhat rocky but hopefully we’ll begin to see a settling down affect, with supply chains recalibrating and gearing up to deliver value, quality and availability, manufacturing being able to source quality components to drive availability and improve lead times and shipping costs beginning to stabilise to ensure softer, affordable pricing.
“I would be as confident as the next optimist that this will happen and if the global economies can begin to reset, we will hopefully see more stability and continuity, if this happens then the future looks bright, very bright.
“My optimism is driven by the changes we have seen in people’s attitudes and buying motivations, they have developed a new mindset throughout the course of the pandemic and are becoming more decisive when it comes to making purchases, whether it be general home improvements or access within the home products or general mobility products, gone are the days of procrastination and stigmatisation (mobility products) and purchases are being made and will continue to be made.
“The home has become sacrosanct, and I believe people want a modern, safe, and easily accessible home where they can live and relax and mitigate the risk of accidents, being hospitalised unnecessarily or flirting with the prospect of a care home and are more willing to buy preventative products. Mobility access, comfort and safety products have seen tremendous growth recently, this continued trend and decisiveness will ensure theirs and our prognosis is healthy.”
Carol Elliot, Manager, City Mobility
“Scotland will become the first UK nation to legally require every home to have interlinked smoke alarms by February 2022. The new law and others have come about because of the Grenfell fire in London in 2017, and it applies to all Scottish homes.
“As 2021 ends we have become aware that some Local Authorities and Housing Associations have introduced, or are looking at introducing, new Policies around the storage and charging (especially overnight) of Mobility Scooters and Powerchairs in socially rented accommodation on fire safety grounds.
“We have actively been working with The Highland Council Housing Policy Team so they have a greater understanding of the challenges our customers face in balancing their locality requirements with their mobility and communication needs.
“Recently two Highland Council staff members shadowed our Motability Assessor on a home visit and test drive, getting to try out equipment and seeing what the mix of challenges were and what would work for the customer within their Policy.
“The challenge is that customers may be put off by the paperwork in seeking the permissions needed. And that time will be wasted (remembering we can spend a whole day travelling to and conducting one assessment) for the Housing provider to then not give permission. Permission can’t be sought in advance as the customer needs to know what equipment works for them first.
“The opportunity is for reputable retailers to become known for offering sound advice in line with local Policies on safe storage and charging when doing a home demo/assessment. And in increasing regular servicing and maintenance work, and in some cases, Portable Appliance Testing.
“Another topic might be the introduction of new regulations by the Department of Transport on mobility equipment use (following the recently consultation led by Driving Mobility on their behalf) – but I’m assuming someone else would pick that up or it’s a bigger article for another day.”
Mike Williams, Managing Director of Ableworld
“I’m sure we were all hoping for a positive way forward with Covid diminished or at a very low level, however it looks like more of the same.
“As with last year we have built up stocks ready for the January Sale and have an average of nearly £150,000 cost per store to ensure the stores have a good chance of hitting budgets and we can look after our Customer base, after all they are the ones that rely on us.
“It’s nice to see a few new products coming through which always livens up ranges and of course our Marketing message.
“The challenges, of course, are the ongoing supply issues, luckily some of the costs seem to be stabilising and the view seems to be that containers may become easier & less expensive after the Chinese New Year. The vast majority of suppliers are working well with ourselves and we understand the issues and necessary price increases, that are never welcome. A couple unfortunately seem to be taking advantage of the situation which I believe will come back to bite them when sanity returns.
“However much more importantly is the wellbeing and enthusiasm of our staff. We have fantastic teams around the business and it’s never been more important than now to keep the teams together and enthusiastic. We are all in an industry of helping and caring for our vulnerable customers, so that is a great incentive to stay positive and keep going that extra mile.”https://thiis.co.uk/trade-thoughts-what-is-your-forecast-for-what-2022-might-hold-for-the-industry/https://thiis.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/open-shop-sign-window.jpghttps://thiis.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/open-shop-sign-window-150x150.jpgAnalysis & InsightsNewsroomTrade Thoughts2022,Ableworld,access,City Mobility,Forecast,Mobility,mobility scotland,Recare,TPG DisableAidsWith COVID-19 restrictions and shipping delays looking set to continue into 2022.

Now streaming on:
Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder have a scene in "The Producers" where they roll on the floor so ferociously we expect them to chew on one another. Mostel is so manic and barbarian, Wilder so panicked and hysterical, you wonder why spit didn't get on the camera lens. The whole movie is pitched at that level of frenzied desperation, and one of the many joys of watching it is to see how the actors are able to control timing and nuance even while screaming.
This is one of the funniest movies ever made. To see it now is to understand that. To see it for the first time in 1968, when I did, was to witness audacity so liberating that not even "There's Something About Mary" rivals it. The movie was like a bomb going off inside the audience's sense of propriety. There is such rapacity in its heroes, such gleeful fraud, such greed, such lust, such a willingness to compromise every principle, that we cave in and go along.
The movie stars Mostel and Wilder as Max Bialystock, a failing Broadway producer, and Leo Bloom, a nebbishy accountant. Bialystock raises money for his productions by seducing checks out of little old ladies, who come to his office to fool around ("We'll play the innocent little milkmaid and the naughty stable boy!"). Bloom is sent to do his books, and finds that Bialystock raised $2,000 more than he lost on his last failure. You could make a lot of money by overfinancing turkeys, he muses, a glint in his eye: "The IRS isn't interested in flops."
This leads to their great inspiration: Max will venture into "little old lady-land" and raise thousands of dollars more than they need for a production that will be guaranteed to fail. The critic David Ehrenstein traces the first use of the phrase "creative accounting" to "The Producers," and Bialystock and Bloom make it into a fine art. "Hello, boys!" says Max, plopping down next to his safe and patting the piles of money.
Their formula for failure is a musical named "Springtime for Hitler," with a dance line of jackbooted SS girls and lyrics like, "Don't be stupid, be a smarty! Come and join the Nazi Party!" Their neo-Nazi playwright Franz Liebkind (Kenneth Mars) roars up to opening night on a motorcycle, wears a Nazi helmet into the lobby, and tells them, "It's magic time!" Reaction shots during the first act show the audience paralyzed in slack-jawed horror.
How did Mel Brooks, the writer and director, get away with this? By establishing the amoral desperation of both key characters at the outset, and by casting them with actors you couldn't help liking, even so. Like Falstaff, Zero Mostel's Max Bialystock is a man whose hungers are so vast they excuse his appetites. There is a scene where he scrubs his filthy office window with coffee, peers through the murk, sees a white Rolls-Royce and screams, "That's it, baby! When you've got it, flaunt it! Flaunt it!" You can taste his envy and greed. "See this?" he says to Bloom, holding up an empty setting. "This used to hold a pearl as big as your eye. Look at me now! I'm wearing a cardboard belt!" It is typical of this movie that after he says the line, he takes off the belt and rips it to shreds.
Mostel was a serious actor, a blacklist target, an intellectual. His performance here is a masterpiece of low comedy. Despite a comb-over that starts just above his collar line, he projects optimistic vanity, spitting on his hand to slick back his hair before Miss "Hold me! Touch me!" (Estelle Winwood) enters for her weekly visit. What Mostel projects above all is utter confidence. He never has second thoughts. Perhaps he never thinks at all, but only proceeds out of Darwinian urgency.
Gene Wilder was a new face in 1968, introduced to audiences with a key supporting role in "Bonnie and Clyde" (1967), also as a character consumed by nervousness. His performance in "The Producers" is a shade shy of a panic attack. On the floor with Mostel looming over him, he screams, "Don't jump! Don't jump!" Mostel starts to hop in a frenzy, and Wilder escapes to a corner, hides behind a chair, and screams, "I'm hysterical! I'm hysterical!" Mostel pours a glass of water and throws it in his face. Wilder delivers another classic line: "I'm wet! I'm hysterical, and I'm wet! I'm in pain, and I'm wet, and I'm still hysterical!"
The movie's supporting stars became briefly famous after the movie came out, although none found equally funny material again. Mars was a bug-eyed fanatic, up on the roof with his pigeons, singing Nazi songs, later ordering an audience member to stop laughing because "I am the author! I outrank you!" To the Nazi jokes Brooks added gay jokes, with the flamboyant couple of Broadway director Roger De Bris (Christopher Hewett) and his valet Carmen Giya (Andreas Voutsinas). At one point Max, Leo and Carmen crowd into a tiny elevator, and are expelled breathless and flustered. Heterosexuality is represented by the pneumatic Lee Meredith, as Ulla, the buxom secretary, who types one letter at a time and then pauses for a smile of self-congratulation. The other great supporting performance is by Dick Shawn as the actor who plays Hitler; in a movie made at the height of the flower power period, he's a hippie constructed out of spare parts, with his finger cymbals, Campbell's soup can necklace and knee-high shag boots.
To produce a musical named "Springtime for Hitler" was of course in the worst possible taste, as an escaping theater patron observes in the movie--to the delight of Bialystock and Bloom, who were counting on just that reaction. To make a movie about such a musical was also in bad taste, of course. It is obvious that Bialystock and Bloom are Jewish, but they never refer to that. As Franz Liebkind rants, they nod, because the more offensive he is, the more likely his play will fail. Brooks adds just one small moment to suggest their private thoughts. As the two men walk away from the playwright's apartment, Bloom covers the red-and-black Nazi armband Franz has given him. "All right, take off the armband," says Bialystock, taking off his own. They throw both armbands into a trash can. Leo spits into it, and then Max does.
The best sight gag in the movie is the one at the end of a long day spent by Max and Leo walking around Manhattan and perfecting their scheme. Finally at night they find themselves in front of the fountain at Lincoln Center. The music swells. Leo cries, "I want everything I've ever seen in the movies!" And then the fountain leaps up. Everyone remembers the fountain. The music and the dialogue make it into a punch line instead of just a surprise.
Like most of Brooks' films, "The Producers" is cheerfully willing to go anywhere for a laugh. In Brooks' next film, "Blazing Saddles" (1974), he produced the famous campfire scene, long before Eddie Murphy's Klumps had their troubles with intestinal gas. Gene Wilder worked with him again in the wonderful "Young Frankenstein" (also 1974), and Brooks has remained prolific; high points are "Silent Movie" (1976), with its narcissistic Burt Reynolds shower scene; the Hitchcock spoof "High Anxiety" (1977), where the tracking shot breaks a plate-glass window, and the underrated "Life Stinks" (1991), inspired by Preston Sturges' "Sullivan's Travels."
Mel Brooks began in big-time show business as a writer for Sid Caesar's "Your Show of Shows" in 1950; Carl Reiner and Neil Simon were fellow writers. That he didn't have a career as a stand-up comedian is surely only because he chose not to.
I remember finding myself in an elevator with Brooks and his wife, actress Anne Bancroft, in New York City a few months after "The Producers" was released. A woman got onto the elevator, recognized him and said, "I have to tell you, Mr. Brooks, that your movie is vulgar." Brooks smiled benevolently. "Lady," he said, "it rose below vulgarity."

DNA based Vaccine against Asthma shows Promising Results
Although many specific immunotherapies have been tried against asthma, they have not been very successful as they are not very efficient and can cause serious side effects. However, a new vaccine, which is a DNA-based vaccine against Dermatophagoides farinae 1 (Derf1) allergen, has shown promising results and is devoid of deleterious effects. This particular allergen is the commonest allergen responsible for the flaring up of asthma in Europe. The vaccine has been developed by the scientists at Inserm and CNRS, University of Nantes, and a review has been published in the latest issue of the journal Human Gene Therapy.
Allergic asthma affects about 300 million people worldwide and is usually caused by an allergic reaction to some environmental allergen. Many of these patients are allergic to dust mite. Derf1 is the commonest allergen carried by the dust mites and almost half of them produce specific IgE antibodies against it.
At present, apart from administration of medicines like corticosteroids which provide relief from the symptoms, the patients are desensitized by giving them repeated, increased dose of the allergens. This reduces the hypersensitivity of the airways and produces a less violent reaction on subsequent exposure to the allergen. However, not all patients react very favorably to this process.
The developers of the new vaccine first used it against healthy mice. The vaccine also contained a block copolymer 704. It produced a strong humoral and cellular response. They then tried the vaccine against asthmatic mice. It resulted in the production of specific antibodies against Derf1 allergen. When two injections were administered intramuscularly at an interval of three weeks, there was a considerable reduction in the hypersensitivity of the airways. The levels of inflammatory cytokines present normally in the lungs of mice suffering from asthma were also greatly reduced. Encouraged by the positive results in experiments on mice, the researchers are working on the regulatory pre-clinical development of the vaccine so that clinical trials in humans may be undertaken at the earliest.

On the Fastcat ferry to the Isle of Wight today (bear in mind this is sat in Portsmouth Harbour, on the south coast of England). Across the other side of the boat are a mother and her two kids.
Kid 1, every few seconds saying “Look, there’s a ….” trying to point out things which clearly don’t belong in the harbour. Eventually…
Kid 1: Look, a great white shark.
Kid 2: It can’t be. Sharks don’t live in salty water, only octopusses do.
Parent: This is salty water. There’s the sea.
Kid 1: See, so it was a shark.
Kid 1: Look, there’s a terrapin with the head of a velociraptor.
A few minutes later, as the boat is turning to head out of port…
Kid 1: It’s too bright to see. My eyes are nearly falling out of my head
Finally, as the boat heads out…
Kid 1: Look. They sunk the hovercrast and now the velociraptors are eating the people inside.
Seriously – where does a child get an overactive imagination like that?

Another Spokane police officer is being toppled by the Otto Zehm scandal. Officer Timothy Moses, 52, is expected to plead guilty in Spokane Municipal Court to a misdemeanor charge of making a false statement to a public servant, and will resign from the police force, Spokane County Prosecutor Steve Tucker confirmed this evening. The plea bargain also will end an ongoing FBI investigation that could have led to more serious felony charges against Moses. Authorities accuse Moses of lying to FBI agents and federal prosecutors when he changed his story in 2010 to a version that was more favorable to Senior Police Officer Karl F. Thompson Jr., who was the first officer to confront Zehm in a North Spokane Zip Trip convenience store. Thompson was convicted in 2011 by a federal jury of using excessive force against Zehm and lying about the encounter to investigators. Moses attorney, Chris Bugbee, confirmed in March 2012 that he had entered discussions with federal prosecutors about a potential plea bargain for his client. Attempts to reach Bugbee today have been unsuccessful. Moses currently is on self-imposed leave from the police force, city officials said today. The charge against him carries a maximum penalty of a year in jail and a $5,000 fine, though it’s unlikely that Moses — with no prior criminal record and decades of service to the community — would be be sentenced to that. It’s unclear why the case ultimately will be tried in Spokane Municipal Court, which typically handles traffic tickets and generally minor civil and criminal offenses. The investigative report used to show evidence for the charge was written by FBI Agent Lisa Jangaard. U.S. Attorney Mike Ormsby declined to comment on the case or on the federal investigation. Moses told federal investigators under oath in 2009 that Thompson told him that he felt threatened by Zehm because Zehm “lunged” at him with a Pepsi bottle. Store security video later showed no evidence that Zehm lunged toward Thompson before Thompson struck Zehm with a baton – though Zehm did appear to try to block blows from the baton with the two liter bottle. But in 2010, Moses told federal investigators that he did not remember Thompson using the word “lunge.” Moses also flip-flopped his position on baton strikes delivered by Thompson to Zehm. In 2009, Moses told a grand jury in sworn testimony that Thompson told him that he had struck Zehm in the head, neck and upper torso with his baton and that he relayed that information to the ambulance company, AMR, which transported Zehm to the hospital. But in 2010, Moses met with federal officials and told them he no longer remembered telling an AMR employee that Thompson had struck Zehm in the head, neck and upper torso. Instead, Moses said he remember Thompson saying that he struck Zehm in the “leg and then again a number of times all over.” The point is important. Striking a defending in the head with a baton is considered deadly force, which requires a higher threshold for use. Moses testified at Thompson’s trial only after the U.S. Department of Justice obtained a waiver preventing him from seeking protection from self-incrimination under the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. During his testimony, Moses claimed that federal prosecutors intimidated him into giving that grand jury testimony.

A criminologist plays a role that is important culture by contributing to deeper comprehension of how, whenever and just why deviant behavior happens. As being a subfield of sociology, criminology examines unlawful functions in a societal context with the best aim of criminal activity decrease and avoidance.
Some criminologists act as detectives, FBI agents or forensic analysts profiling criminals and investigating instances. Other people find jobs in academia or federal government agencies that research criminology theories and advocate for unlawful justice reforms. Opportunites can certainly be present in modifications, medications and associated criminal justice agencies.
To be able to Assist Other People
By learning the part of criminology in society, scientists desire to find out more about the roots of physical violence, ramifications of very very early impact and trauma on victims. Findings enables you to develop effective programs that identify and intervene when young ones and adolescents show aggressive and antisocial behavior.

The Association des chiropraticiens du Québec is directly challenged by the tabling of Bill 15, An Act to make the health and social services system more efficient, and we wish to make our contribution to this fundamental debate for the future of health and social services network by participating in public consultations and hearings as part of the upcoming parliamentary committee.
Holders of an undergraduate university doctorate, chiropractors are competent and efficient health professionals and wish to be better integrated into the trajectory of care for users. It is important to remember that neuromusculoskeletal problems concern a large number of consultations in emergency departments. However, thanks to their expertise in neuromusculoskeletal health, chiropractors can help relieve congestion in the health network and improve services to the population.
Indeed, our contribution would be useful to improve the care trajectories of patients suffering from neuromusculoskeletal disorders, by promoting appropriate and rapid access to adequate health services. Chiropractors can effectively participate in the triage, evaluation and treatment of patients for better monitoring of neuromusculoskeletal conditions that affect Quebecers. This could result in faster consultations and fewer unnecessary referrals to specialists.
We are inspired by the Musculoskeletal Clinic (MSK) pilot projects in Ontario, among other things: these rapid access clinics help people who suffer from neuromusculoskeletal disorders to quickly access chiropractic care. For example, it may be direct access to chiropractic care for victims of work accidents.
Also, the consultation delay increases the risk of delaying the return to work and normal life, not to mention the economic impact that the status quo would imply.
We are pleased to see a potential opening of the State to a better recognition of the contribution of chiropractic care in the network. We emphasize the importance of the planned decentralization of health and social services responsibilities, which will certainly allow greater autonomy for the various professionals.
We welcome interdisciplinarity and the decompartmentalization of health professions – two concepts dear to the Minister of Health, Mr. Christian Dubé.

The challenges the industry have faced 2011 are done and 2012 has just begun. To celebrate the new year, we take a look at what new car models the Philippines can look forward to over the next 12 months.
First up are our European friends. Over the last few years, more and more brands from the Old World have come in, and this year more brands and even more models are set to make their local debuts.
Let's see what the upper classes can enjoy in the coming months.
From the three-pointed star comes the roadster version of their modern reinterpretation of the classic (not to mention iconic) gullwing 300 SL, with the SLS AMG Roadster.
Of course, being a convertible, the new SLS AMG Roadster doesn&'t have the signature gullwing doors, having gone with the conventional mechanisms. The SLS Roadster will also be powered by the same engine in the SLS coupe: a 6.2 liter V8 that outputs 571 horsepower.
Also on the list for Mercedes will be the new B-Class, an all new model that was revealed at the Frankfurt Auto Show in September 2011. The new B-Class has been thoroughly improved, and gets a variety of engines that run on diesel or gasoline and range from 1.6 to 1.8 liters in displacement.
Mercedes's line up has already been fully updated internationally, and the list continues with the M-Class, which has been refined and restyled further to reflect the brand's new design language.
Expect more updated and upgraded models from the tri-star brand.
Having just launched the 1-Series locally, BMW is on the up and up. The brand, under the leadership of Asian Carmakers Corporation, has had an excellent 2011 with strong sales and increased market share.
For 2012, well, things are looking even better for the Bavarian brand, as ACC-BMW is getting ready for the launch of the all new 3-Series. The next generation model, revealed to the world late last year, promises even better driving dynamics, efficiency and practicality. The new car gets BMW's latest technologies such as EfficientDynamics, Twin Power Turbos, among other things.
The new 3-Series, codenamed F30, is set for its international launch next month.
In 2011, MINI departed from their conventional 3-door hatch form factor and built their first ever 5-door 'mini' SUV with the Countryman. For 2012, we can expect that MINI will continue to try new things as British United Automobiles, the local distributors of the MINI brand, are slated to release their new MINI Coupe.
The MINI Coupe is the first car for the brand to have a 3-box design (the front end being 1 box, the passenger compartment another, and one more as the trunk). The roof is lower than usual, and the tailgate (as with the 2-box 3-door version) has been replaced with MINI's first trunklid. The rear seats are also gone, making this a true 2-seater coupe.
The engine will be a 1.6 liter turbocharged motor for the S model, while the JCW, or John Cooper Works models will be the fastest production MINIs to date with 208 horsepower and a top speed of 240 km/h.
Porsche have just released their latest 911 at the recently concluded Frankfurt Auto Show.
The new generation 911, the Type 991, comes with a long list of technical improvements in handling, rigidity, power and efficiency. The 991 is actually an all new platform for the 911 line, being only the 3rd all new platform since the original model nearly 50 years ago.
The car is now longer with its wheelbase extended by 100 millimeters, but the height of the vehicle
has been reduced. The all-new, lightweight body is an intelligent aluminum-steel construction giving a significant proportion of the
weight reduction of up to 45 kg.
To complement the new exterior design, the Porsche designers created an interior inspired by the Porsche Carrera GT, with more driver oriented details and touches.
A new range of engines, both more powerful and more efficient, find their way into the 911 line. The 911 Carrera gets a 350 horsepower 3.4 liter flat 6 engine, which when mated to the PDK dual clutch transmission consumes just 8.2 liters per 100 kilometers on the NEDC format. The 911 Carrera S variants get a more powerful 400 horsepower flat 6, and can accelerate to 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds for the PDK variant.
Well, for the first time, Lamborghini will officially be in the country courtesy of PGA Cars Inc., the same company behind Porsche and Audi in the Philippines. The new Lamborghini showroom and dealership will be at Bonifacio Global City, right next to the Audi dealership.
Lamborghini Manila will be led by the Italian super sportscar maker's two models: the V10-powered Gallardo and the new V12 Aventador supercar. In Lambo's tradition, both cars are named after famous fighting bulls, with the Gallardo being in production since 2003 and the Aventador being a new 2011 model for the brand.
The Aventador is as supercar as can be. The car features the signature wedge shape of the Lamborghini brand; a shape that has been pioneered by the Countach of the 70's and 80's. The new car gets a 6.5 liter V12 engine mounted amidships and drives all four wheels. The engine is capable of 700 horsepower, making it the most powerful car officially sold in the country when the dealership opens.
The list won't be complete without Audi. Last year, the brand, under the custodianship of PGA Cars, launched several refreshed models like the A8, the V10-powered R8 and the all new A7 (which we liked).
For 2012, Audi has a lot in store, but headlining their year will be the launch of the Q3. We got a chance to get a preview of the upcoming model last month as a German-spec Q3 crossover made an Asian tour with PGA's new dealership in Fort Bonifacio being one of the stops.
The new Q3 will most likely be competing with the BMW X1 and Volvo XC60 (more or less) when it arrives later on.
The cat is out of the bag for PGA Cars, as the company known for bringing in premium (Audi) and sports cars (Porsche) is already confirmed to bring in ultra-luxury brand Bentley... one of only two brands that can rival Rolls-Royce for luxury (the other one being Maybach, Mercedes's ultra-luxury arm).
Bentley Philippines' line up is still unconfirmed, though currently the British carmaker is manufacturing 6 distinct models, all hand assembled. For saloons, Bentley has the 6.0 liter, W12-engined Continental Flying Spur and the 6.75 liter V8 Mulsanne.
Bentley also has two coupes with the Brooklands Coupe (limited to just 550 units) and the Continental GT and GTC, both of which are powered by a 6.0 liter W12 engine.
Last on the list is the Bentley Azure, a 2-door grand touring convertible driven by a 6.75 liter turbocharged V8.
When Bentley arrives, their cars will undoubtedly be the most luxurious, officially available cars in the local auto market.

He blamed home Speaker and leader for the Democrats in Congress Nancy Pelosi for the talks which are aborted saying she demanded an outsized $2.4 trillion package versus the $1.6 trillion made available from the Republicans. Pelosi didn’t respond right to the accusation and questioned rather the mental capability of the president, who was nevertheless on drugs for their own disease that is covid-19.
The stimulus talks appeared straight back on course after White House Economic Adviser Larry Kudlow told Fox Business that Trump had approved a revised package to negotiate with Democrats Friday. The Wall Street Journal later stated that the White House was taking care of an $1.8b trillion package, citing individuals familiar with the discussions.

• Helicopter crash, latest
Witnesses reported seeing a “massive ball of flames” and a deafening "explosion" after the helicopter plunged more than 700 feet to the ground amid suggestions that the crane warning lights were obscured by fog.
Authorities confirmed the two victims, the pilot, Captain Pete Barnes and a bystander, died at the scene while at least 13 casualties, were reported suffering minor injuries.

The crash site is located close to MI6's headquarters, provoking fears of a bomb attack but the police quickly ruled out suggestions of terrorism.
The building, which was severely shaken by the crash, is also close to the site of the new US embassy.
Officials from the London Heliport at Battersea, which is located about two miles to the west, confirmed it been unable to make contact with the aircraft after receiving a request via Heathrow air traffic control from the pilot asking to divert due to bad weather.
Today, investigations were centred on why the helicopter crashed during foggy conditions into The Tower, in the St George Wharf development, billed to be one of Europe's tallest residential towers.
The Daily Telegraph has learned that pilots were last week warned about the presence of the crane on the 51-storey high rise tower.
"It was something of a miracle that this was not many, many times worse," Scotland Yard Commander Neil Basu told reporters at the scene.
A spokesman for Rotormotion, a company which charters executive helicopter flights, confirmed that one of its aircraft was involved and that Capt Barnes had died.
Helicopter pilot Capt Pete Barnes
Capt Barnes, was "a highly regarded and fully qualified helicopter pilot with 25 years' experience". He was a freelance pilot working for Rotormotion on a routine flight to Elstree to pick up a client.
Capt Philip Amadeus, the MD and chief pilot of Rotormotion, said they the company were "devastated" by the death of Mr Barnes, 50, who he described as one of the most experienced pilots in the UK.
Today, the chaotic scene, located in one of the capital’s busiest areas, was locked down as investigators began combing the area.
The top of the crane remained in a "precarious position" this afternoon although authorities said it posed no immediate danger.
Residents from neighbouring flats have been evacuated and were being held at a branch of Starbucks after debris was reported more than 200 yards from the crash site.
It is understood that two red warning lights on top of the building were checked yesterday and were working. It remains unclear whether they were still on when the crash happened.
After initial confusion over whether the lights were working, it is thought they were obscured by the thick mist shrouding the tower.
The crane driver, who has not been named, was late for work and was not on board and was instead, climbing up the crane's shaft when disaster struck.

Witnesses told how the AgustaWestland 109 civilian twin engine helicopter aircraft, which was flying low, screeched to the ground and “tore like it was a piece of paper” just after 8am.
Police said the Capt Barnes had “diverted” to the nearby Battersea Heliport amid foggy conditions in the capital.
He had been travelling from Redhill, Surrey, to Elstree in Hertfordshire, the location of film studios, where ITV's Dancing on Ice, Who Wants to be a Millionaire? and Big Brother is filmed. He is thought to have been collecting an executive.
The pilot had requested to divert and land at London Heliport at Battersea due to bad weather, a spokesman for the owners of the heliport said.
The Daily Telegraph can disclose that MI6 spy were intially on alert when the helicopter first crashed and exploded amid fears Britain’s intelligence service may have been at risk.
Contingency plans kicked in as soon as the incident happened, it is understood, but it became clear very quickly that it was a tragic accident.
The spy building, which is just a few hundred yards from where the helicopter hit a crane, was operating as normal shortly after.

Meanwhile, Scotland Yard also initially feared it was one of their helicopters that had crashed but quickly established their aircraft had been grounded because of the bad conditions.
While it appears there were foggy conditions, the building has been under construction for some time.
Today, Prime Minister David Cameron was "very saddened to learn of the fatalities and injuries" in today's helicopter crash, his spokesman said.
He later told Parliament that rules for helicopter flights over central London would need to be carefully looked at following this morning's fatal crash.
Metropolitan Police commissioner Bernard Hogan-Howe said there were 13 casualties, with two dead, and others “less seriously injured”.
He said that early reports suggested that the helicopter was "diverting".
"Obviously for the families involved it is a pretty awful event," he told the London assembly.
There were suggestions the helicopter was flying low throughout the area, which is in one of the busiest parts of the capital, on its way to the heliport, located a few miles to the west.

A spokesman for Aldersgate Investments, the company owned by the billionaire Reuben Brothers, which owns London Heliport, said: "Just before 8am today a helicopter crashed in central London close to Vauxhall Bridge.
"The helicopter involved in the accident was not destined for the London Heliport.
"However, we received a request from Heathrow air traffic control to accept the helicopter, which had asked to be diverted due to bad weather."
He added: "The London Heliport never gained contact with the helicopter."
The heliport will be closed for the rest of the day.
Addressing a press conference near the scene of the incident, Commander Neil Basu, of the Metropolitan Police, said the pillot had been killed.

He added: "The helicopter was on a scheduled flight from Surrey. It was scheduled to fly from Redhill to Elstree but it was diverted. It's possible it was diverted to another helipad."
Asked if the lights on top of the building and crane were faulty, Mr Basu said: "That will form part of the investigation."
A spokesman for Berkeley Group, the umbrella company for the St George property developers who are carrying out work, said: “We can confirm a helicopter collided with a crane at St George Wharf at 8am this morning.
“Our thoughts at this time are with the friends and families of those killed and injured in this tragic incident.
“Emergency services are on the scene and authorities are investigating the circumstances. We are offering our full support and assistance to the emergency services.”
But sources close to the company insisted that the two lights on top of the crane are checked twice daily and during both inspections yesterday they were working.
The crash caused travel chaos as roads were shut and the local bus station was closed. Local gridlock meant that emergency services struggled to get through.
Dozens of fire crews, police and paramedics rushed to the scene this morning after "lots of emergency calls" as eyewitnesses described seeing grey smoke towering into the sky, close to Battersea Bridge.

After "cartwheeling to the ground", it sent screaming residents, commuters and construction workers running "for their lives" as burning wreckage and aviation fuel covered the road.
It then hit two cars, which have been left abandoned and charred. One driver was trapped and fire-fighters were able to rescue him from his car before being rushed to hospital.
Construction workers said the crane driver was on his way to his cab when the accident occured and had been left "shaken" by his lucky escape.
The helicopter took off at 7.35am from its current base at Redhill Aerodrome in Surrey. Aerodrome chief executive Jon Horne said the aircraft was heading to Elstree to undertake a chartered flight.
He said: "It's a huge shock and tragedy. Our thoughts are with those people who have been killed and injured in this morning's terrible tragedy and with the family and friends of those involved."
He said it was a "positioning flight" with only the pilot on board, with the intention of operating a charter from Elstree.
"We understand that the pilot was unable to land at Elstree and the pilot elected to divert to an alternate location."
Mr Horne said he did not know why the aircraft could not land - it was possible that the weather had changed and the pilot took the decision.
Witnesses suggested that the helicopter, which is reported to have only the pilot on board, had plunged more than 60 storeys to the ground.
A brother of one of the injured told The Daily Telegraph: "I was out. He was on his way to work at about 8am when it happened. I called my brothers to inform them that there's something going on.
"There was a cloud of smoke when I actually... I gave a call to one of my other brothers to inform them I saw a lot of black smoke. He told me my brother's involved. I came rushing, panicking.
"I was really upset because I was scared in case my brother was in the car. There was fire."
He added: "I came to him. He was in shock. I was very scared. I was just worried about him it just happened unexpectedly.
"His condition he's ok he's in shock."
Mother-of-five Sharon Moore, who lives on the Wyvil Estate, said she saw the aircraft slice through the crane "as if it was a piece of paper".
Ms Moore, 36, who was with her nine-year-old daughter Tiah, described hearing four bangs and watching two cars explode.
She said: "My daughter was so traumatised, it was so shocking. It sounded like a massive explosion, like something whining in the sky and then it just went bang
"You couldn't see a lot at first because of the fog. The helicopter did not seem to know which way to turn and then it just dropped, it sliced, screeching into the metal.
"It sliced it as if it was a piece of paper. It just ripped apart."
Another witness, Aaron Cane, told BBC Radio Five Live: "I heard a big crash and I looked up.
“There was a massive ball of flames. It is chaos. I just saw the helicopter hit the floor.”
David Morris, the MP for Morecambe and Lunesdale, said he was left "incredibly shaken" after the helicopter crashed just 100 yards away from his flat.
“My thoughts are with those directly involved with the incident involving a helicopter at Vauxhall Bridge this morning," he said.
"I was reading my Science and Technology papers at around 8am when I heard a loud bang. Initially I was not aware of what happened, then it became apparent that a helicopter had crashed around 100 to 150 yards away from my flat in Vauxhall. This morning I am incredibly shaken.”
Nicky Morgan, the MP for Loughborough, said she heard a "big bang" and then saw a "cloud of thick black smoke".
Mrs Morgan said she initially feared it was a bomb-blast.
"I did actually wonder if it was a bomb explosion," she said.
Mrs Morgan said the emergency services reacted "extremely quickly" and were on the scene within minutes
A resident in a nearby building, who only gave his name as Colin, said: "I was having breakfast... when I heard a loud explosion. I looked out the window and there was a massive plume of smoke.
"It had hit the tower and continued flying down. When I heard the explosion I was not that concerned as there building happening all the time. But when I saw the smoke I didn't know what to think."

Another witness Quinn Murray, added: "The helicopter hit the top of the crane and then came down. I saw smoke and fire. I am completely shocked."
Another commuter described seeing a "large plume of dark grey smoke" as she crossed Battersea Bridge at around 8am.
She said: "I was coming across the bridge and basically I could see a few cyclists on the bridge looking towards the water.
"I looked over to see what they were looking at and could see a pall of grey smoke coming from the south side.
"You could see a large plume of dark grey smoke."
Paul Ferguson, who was working in an office near the incident, said: "There was a flash and the helicopter plunged to the ground. It exploded and you can imagine the smoke coming out of it.
"It was probably heading from the nearby heliport. It may be that on this misty morning the lights on nearby St George's Tower weren't on and it moved and clipped the edge of the crane and lost control."

Another eyewitness Chris Matthison said: "There was some damage to the crane. It's possible the crane is lying across Nine Elms road.
"The top of the nearest building is steeped in mist and difficult to see."
He added: "I heard a very unusual dull thud, then there was silence. The silence really took my imagination. Emergency services responded very quickly."
Erin Rogers was waiting at a bus stop outside Vauxhall station.
He added: "It was a bit surreal actually. I just had a coffee in my hand, I looked up, heard a bang and saw bits of crane debris falling to the floor.
"Then the helicopter was in flames. The rest of the people at the bus station were looking on going 'What was that?'.
"It's something I will never forget for a long time."
As rush-hour traffic built up, the A3036 Wandsworth Road in Vauxhall was closed in both directions between Vauxhall Cross and the Lansdowne Way junction.

Transport for London said buses in the Vauxhall area were subject to diversion and delays due to the incident. People were advised to avoid the area and seek alternative routes.
The First Capital Connect train company warned its passengers to expect travel difficulties in the Vauxhall area, although its services were not affected
A Scotland Yard spokesman said today: "Police were alerted at approximately 08.00hrs to an incident in Wandsworth Road SW8.
"At this stage it appears a commercial helicopter on a scheduled flight was in collision with a crane on top of a building under construction in Nine Elms Lane SW8.
"The helicopter came down on the land adjacent to the building."
He added: "London Ambulance Service, London Fire Brigade and units from the Metropolitan Police Service were all quickly in attendance. All fires are now extinguished.
"There were two fatalities, including the helicopter pilot. It is believed the helicopter was carrying no passengers.
"[Paramedics] treated five patients - four for minor injuries and one for a broken leg. Four of the patients were taken to St Thomas' Hospital and two - a man and a woman - were taken to King's College Hospital.
"Seven patients were treated on scene."
He said road closures are in place locally. Vauxhall Tube and Vauxhall bus station are also closed and there are some closures on rail lines into London on the rail network.
An investigation was being carried out with fire authorities and the Air Accident Investigation Branch and Civil Aviation Authority.
Peter Cowup, assistant commissioner at London Fire Brigade, said: "One driver was able to get out of his own free will and leave the scene. He was injured but we understand he's fine."
He added: "Aircrafts and helicopters do contain hazardous materials. There is no reason for anyone to be afraid of hazardous materials in the air."
A Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) spokesman said: "Helicopter operations in central London are strictly controlled. Single-engine helicopters are required to fly along designated routes, which have been selected to provide maximum safety by routing helicopters along the River Thames, avoiding flying over built-up areas as much as possible.
"Twin-engine helicopters can operate in wider areas. However, all aircraft operating in central London are subject to air traffic control clearance."
He continued: "There are requirements for lighting on tall structures. In addition, where appropriate, very tall structures are also notified to pilots for flight planning purposes, as was the case with the crane that was involved in this morning's accident."
The CAA added that it would provide any assistance required by the AAIB.
Speaking from the crash site, Julian Firth, an investigator with the Air Accidents Investigation Branch, said the wreckage will be taken to its site at Farnborough, Hampshire.
He said it will take "several months" to produce a full report into the incident.
Asked about the lighting claim, a spokesman for the Construction Plant hire Association (CPA), which represents crane operators, said: "We have no comment to make."

Conflict Avoidance by Descent Behind the Intruder
AbstractThe paramount priorities for safe implementation of a singlepilot manned cockpit concept and the futuristic concept of asingle pilot acting as a supervisor for a fully automated aircraftflying on incessantly self-optimised trajectories are eliminationsof the risk of mid-air collisions and of conflicts resulting fromthe lack of safe airborne separations. Avoidance procedureswith initiation of descent behind the intruder for conflict resolutionbetween a pair of aircraft where one of them is in the vicinityof the top of its descent represents merely one little piece ofthis giant puzzle.

A Dog’s Love… helping to keep us emotionally fit.
Four in 10 Americans are struggling with a mental health issue or drug-related problem, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, self-deprivation, stress or loneliness can be a constant battle. Often fought alone.
For those of us lucky enough to have found a companion in a dog, there are many proven facts that canine companions can help reduce mental health issues. Here are a few ways our canine friends help keep us emotionally healthy:
- The knowledge that you are caring for someone else - can make the world of difference. Having a living being that is dependent on you for food, shelter, love and medical needs gives one the sense of worthiness, of making a difference. That feeling alone can give one purpose, a reason to get up in the morning and start a new day.
- Distractions from one’s troubles – everyone has bad days and a pet companion can help distract you from the things that are bothering you at that time. Taking a little time out from your worries can help put things in perspective.
- Walking – a path to a better you – scheduling regular walking times will keep your mind and body active. When you exercise, your body releases chemicals called endorphins. Endorphins trigger a positive feeling in the body that can give one a “natural high.” So grab the leash and go for a walk!
- Social Interaction – many of us find it hard to meet people. A dog can be the perfect unifier. Dog lovers share a commonality – they love dogs! – So when meeting someone new, a comment about your dog is a natural ice breaker. A single complement can turn into a canine question which may ignite a longer discussion. Even a single passing smile of acknowledgment can make your day brighter.
- Unconditional Love – we’ve all heard it – a dog’s love is unconditional and because of this we also know that sharing time with someone who loves you for loving them is time well spent.
According to a Nationwide Human Animal Bond Research (HABRI) survey, 96% of pet owners agreed that their pet has had a positive impact on their life. 85% of pet owners reported their pet brings them joy, 82% said their pet comforts them, and 73% said their pet enhances their mental health.
Visualize this quote and see if it doesn’t bring a smile to your face!
“When an eighty-five pound mammal licks your tears away, then tries to sit on your lap, it's hard to feel sad.”
