Sébastien Ogier, Julien Ingrassia, Volkswagen and Michelin Motorsport claim the 2015 WRC titles

Sébastien Ogier, Julien Ingrassia, Volkswagen and Michelin wrapped up three 2015 World Rally Championship titles today (Sunday) in Australia.

The 2015 Rally Australia saw Sébastien Ogier /Julien Ingrassia and their Michelin-equipped Volkswagen Polo R WRC secure the top prize to wrap up the WRC Drivers’ and Co-drivers’ crowns for the third year running. Volkswagen Motorsport’s Jari-Matti Latvala / Miikka Anttila and Andreas Mikkelsen / Ola Floene came second and fourth overall in their Michelin-shod Polo R WRCs to sew up the Manufacturers’ title for the German make.

These titles add to Michelin Motorsport’s impressive record of championship successes in world class motorsport and reinforce its leading status in the fiercely-competitive WRC which permits open competition between tyre companies (23 driver’s titles and 25 manufacturers’ titles).

A thrilling finale in New South Wales Ogier / Ingrassia took the win in Australia after a close battle with Citroën DS3 WRC crews Kris Meeke/Paul Nagle who trailed by just three-tenths of a second ahead of the final day, with 13 of the event’s 17 tricky stages completed. The Frenchman went on to win Sunday’s four tests, including the Power Stage, to reap the weekend’s three bonus points and make sure of the WRC title at the end of the tenth of the 2015 season’s thirteen rounds. Success for the MICHELIN LTX Force H4/S4 Volkswagen Motorsport has won nine of the 10 rounds contested so far this year: seven with Sébastien Ogier/Julien Ingrassia and two with Finns Jari-Matti Latvala/Miikka Antilla who also share a Michelin-equipped Polo R WRC. The only rally to have escaped the German make this season was Argentina which was won by Kris Meeke/Paul Nagle whose Citroën DS3 WRC also runs on Michelin tyres. The result takes Ogier’s personal score to 31 WRC victories and puts him ahead of Marcus Grönholm (30 wins, 2 titles) since the world championship’s creation in 1973. Said Michelin Motorsport director Pascal Couasnon: “Volkswagen has done a remarkable job since it came into the World Rally Championship. Congratulations to Sébastien Ogier and Julien Ingrassia on winning the Drivers’ and Co-drivers’ titles, as well as to Volkswagen and its director Jost Capito on winning not only the Manufacturers’ crown but also Rally Australia, of course!” A hard event marked by judicious tyre strategies Light rain fell ahead of the Coates Hire Rally Australia which featured a menu of 17 stages totalling 311.36km. On Friday, however, crews were treated to dry conditions and temperatures in excess of 20°C which soon caused the lingering humidity to evaporate. Indeed, dust emerged as a major problem for competitors and, on Saturday, the gap between cars was extended from the usual two minutes to five minutes in order to give the hanging dust additional time to clear. Some drivers said that even a five-minute gap was insufficient…

The sun itself added an extra challenge as it strobed through the trees at a difficult angle at certain moments of the day. Last but by no means least, the drivers had to contend with continuously varying grip levels as the surface switched from sand to gravel, and even several asphalt portions. This variety made the choice between the hard-compound Michelin LTX Force H4 and the softer S4 option particularly difficult. Said Jacques Morelli, manager of Michelin Motorsport’s FIA World Rally Championship programme: “The Coates Hire Rally Australia is one of the rounds of the world championship where tyre choice can be the most decisive. The hard-compound Michelin LTX Force H4 was the nominated tyre for this event, but drivers also had the option of fitting the softer S4 – either at all four corners of their car, or on two wheels only, along with two H4s – in order to increase performance on the least abrasive stages. Getting the tyre call right paid dividends, and Sébastien Ogier and Julien Ingrassia were among those who succeeded. I would like to extend my personal congratulations to them both, not only on their win in Australia but also on winning this year’s Drivers’ and Co-drivers’ world titles. A big ‘bravo’, too, to everyone at Volkswagen Motorsport for winning the Manufacturers’ championship. Their professionalism has helped to forge a quality partnership between the team and the staff at Michelin Motorsport.

Victory for Nasser Al Attiyah and Michelin in WRC2 Only two of the six cars entered in the WRC2 class in Australia were on Michelin tyres. Nasser Al Attiyah and his co-driver Matthieu Baumel pulled out a big early lead to win the Coates Hire Rally Australia despite a differential issue that cost them almost 40 seconds on Day 2 (Saturday).

Their Ford Fiesta RRC was equipped with the new MICHELIN LATITUDE Cross H90 (hard compound) and S80 (soft) tyres which have gone unbeaten since their introduction in Poland in July, despite the highly competitive nature of the class where Michelin runners form a minority.

This week, the three-time world champion Sébastien Ogier will be a guest on Michelin’s stand at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show (IAA) at 3pm on Tuesday, September 15 (Stand A23, Hall 8).

The next round of the 2015 FIA World Rally Championship will take teams to Corsica for the Rallye de France-Tour de Corse (October 1-4). The MICHELIN LTX Force (S4 and H4) and MICHELIN Latitude Cross (H90 and S80) in Australia

PSID - Designs for Redefining Spatial Limitations

Millennials today, are setting trends across all markets. In the realm of real estate, millennials’ needs and preferences are even prompting developers to build more vertical housing units that feature micro-condos.

To show just how versatile a micro-condo space can be, despite its size, the Philippine School of Interior Design’s graduating batch of 2015 tackles its personalization with STUDIO24, an exhibit showcasing innovative design solutions that not only maximize the area but also cater to the taste of 24 different dweller archetypes.

Millennials today, are setting trends across all markets. In the realm of real estate, millennials’ needs and preferences are even prompting developers to build more vertical housing units that feature micro-condos.

To show just how versatile a micro-condo space can be, despite its size, the Philippine School of Interior Design’s graduating batch of 2015 tackles its personalization with STUDIO24, an exhibit showcasing innovative design solutions that not only maximize the area but also cater to the taste of 24 different dweller archetypes.

Small Space Can Mean Big Potential

According to a study by Lamudi, 42% of the condo units for sale have a floor plan of 50sqm. or less. While the floor sizes decrease, the number of units in a building increases. Therefore, more tenants are accommodated. In exchange of proximity to lifestyle conveniences and the chance to actively socialize, first-time homeowners are choosing micro-condos over house and lots in the suburbs. 

Often, small condos carry the stigma of being cramped and limited. However, in the right hands micro-condos can be personalized into a dream abode.  With micro-condos becoming the norm, adapting one’s style to a small space is more of an opportunity than a challenge. As long as the space is customized to fit the style and needs of the homeowner, the small size is of very little consequence.

A Legacy of Thinking outside the Box

For the past 48 years, The Philippine School of Interior Design (PSID), has nurtured and taught countless interior designers who continue to make their mark here and abroad. In doing so, PSID fostered a legacy of taking unassuming spaces and turning them into the ideal nests. STUDIO24 utilizes twenty-four standard 24sqm. spaces decked out in 24 popular trends inspired by unique personality archetypes. Each of the 24 styles fall under 3 main categories. 

Ladies’ Lairs evoke the colorful activities and interests of today’s independent women. The styles under it include; The Pastry Chef, The Socialite, The Romantic Writer, The Artist, The Classy Dame, The Bachelorette, The Shy Violet, and The Comic Geek.

Meanwhile, Man Caves is geared towards the modern male who lives a well-rounded and active lifestyle. Listed under Man Caves are the following: The Refined Gentleman, The Gadget Freak, The Young Urban Professional, The Sports buff, The Travel Bug, The Anime Aficionado, The Goth, and The Old Collector.

Lastly, Perfect Pairings celebrate dynamic duos and the passions they pursue. This category houses the following styles: The Retirees, The Power Couple, The Newlyweds, The Backpackers, The Brothers in Arms, The Spinster Sisters, The Gay Bestfriends, and The College Buddies.

“We want to show that our budding designers can not only adapt to the new norm of micro-condos, they can use ingenious, imaginative, and innovative design solutions that not only showcase their talent but also show dwellers how to transform their space,” shares Pojie Pambid, Dean of PSID. The exhibit runs from October 3-31 at Ronac Lifestyle Center along Paseo de Magallanes.

Philcare Revolutionizes Health Care with NFC Cards

NFC, the radio frequency technology considered by experts worldwide as “the next best thing” in mobile transaction, continues its integration in the Philippines – this time providing much needed upgrade in the way healthcare is delivered to thousands of Filipinos.

This after leading health care provider PhilCare came up and put in operation NFC-capable membership cards designed to make availment of health services from hospitals faster, more efficient, and close to paperless.

PhilCare is the first health care provider in the Philippines to adopt and actually put into use cards with near field communication NFC technologies.

“We are proud to introduce this new technology to the HMO industry. We’ve been looking for the best technology to make medical services smoother and more convenient for our clients and providers and NFC seems to be the perfect fit for this goal,” said Noemi G. Azura, PhilCare’s President and CEO.

The NFC-capable card means to do away with the usual tedious process of availing health services from health maintenance organizations (HMO). With a single tap, hospitals and clinics can now determine coverage and benefits of a member, as well as other details of the member’s account.

Basic consultations and procedures will also be processed faster with just a single tap, since it will no longer require long waiting times just to confirm coverage.  Thanks to this new innovation, members only need to hand over their NFC-enabled health cards to any of the 200 service providers of PhilCare with NFC-capable phones from Samsung.

Making this transaction possible is NFC, a form of wireless, radio-wave technology that allows two objects – a reader device and a storage device – to send and receive information via brief contact.

The NFC technology is used by banks, retail, transport, and service providers worldwide and has been deployed to accommodate wireless payments.

This new technology is the first of its kind in the Philippine health care industry and allows patient information to be updated in real-time, ensuring quick, efficient, and accurate service.

“We are very excited with this technology and in the future we hope to set up a rewards program for members with the NFC cards,” Azura said.

“All these innovations are geared towards providing best-in-class customer service to our members. This is just the start of our foray into NFC technology, which will be part of an ecosystem all intended to bring a new brand of bridging access to health care for our members,” Azura added.

The launch of its new membership cards is only one of the many innovations PhilCare has set up to affirm its position as a pioneer in the health care industry.

In 2013, PhilCare launched its mobile application GO! Mobile, becoming the first HMO provider to bring the service to its members.

PhilCare’s Go! Mobile app is designed as a quick reference guide for members on their coverage and benefits while also giving access to complete lists of PhilCare-affiliated hospitals, clinics, and doctors.

Just last year, the mobile app introduced various updates in addition to being made compatible with iOS devices alongside Android devices. With GO! Mobile, PhilCare members no longer need to call any hotline for provider information since it is made available right at their fingertips.

In addition to its mobile app, PhilCare also recently launched its eCommerce website, becoming the first HMO provider to offer online purchases for its health care packages.

ONE TAP CLOSER TO BETTER HEALTH WITH PHILCARE

PhilCare is bringing the first NFC-Enabled HMO Card in the Philippines

Crowdsource the BLISS of a #LiveFreePH

How do you feel about the future? Is your family doing okay? Are the people around you hopeful or gloomy? With the Brighter Life Index: Social Sentiment or BLISS, Sun Life will show how optimism, prosperity, and the bayanihan spirit can produce a positive ripple from ourselvesto our loved ones and to the community where we live.

BLISS is a Facebook application thataims to get the pulse of Filipinos abouttheir current financial situation as well as their outlook for the future.

“BLISS gives us the canvas to paint our #LiveFreePH campaign. Through crowdsourcing, we seek the brightest spots while also determining the areasthat are in need of a bit more sunshine,”explained Sun Life of Canada(Philippines), Inc. Chief MarketingOfficer Mylene Lopa. “Together with the Sun Life Foundation, we will help turn dim prospects to bright opportunities.”

How BLISS happens

Harnessing the power of crowdsourcing, BLISS gathers insights directly from consumers by asking Filipinos about their current state and their outlook for the future. Responses will be collectedprimarily via Facebook.

The results will be embodied by a map of the Philippines, where positive sentiments will be represented by sunny weather, while negative ones will be indicated by thunderstorms. This will be updated real time, with different aggregations available for viewing.

BLISS will also radiate warmth in real life, as the Sun Life Foundation pledgesto match survey responses with a donation to help localities with bleakoutlooks, as indicated by the stormyicons in the results map. Inspired by the practice of bayanihan (communal work),the initiative translates insight to action, via the information that will be shared by online users.

“Sun Life Foundation believes in actionthat is powered by insight, and we’rebringing that to the social mediaplatform through BLISS,” said Sun LifeFoundation Executive Director AnneZillah Flores. “We’re taking it further by actually responding to the gaps that will be determined. We will fund projects to help communities with bleak prospects so they can adopt a brighter outlook.”

BLISS to #LiveFreePH

From the present to the future, BLISS narrates the changing story of Filipinosfrom multiple points of view: self, family, and community. Income, health, and work-life balance are identified as personal concerns; food, nutrition andfinancial security comprise the familial territory; while access to quality education, healthcare, and livelihood opportunities are the societal factors that impact the nation as a whole. When addressed properly, these concerns can become the building blocks of a nationwide movement towards financial independence.

“From BLISS, we lay down the blueprint of #LiveFreePH – to practice foresight by being conscious of our needs while sharing the benefits of living the brighter life,” Lopa said. “We hope that by working together towards financial freedom, we can create a story of a prosperous and optimistic nation, because in our journey to financial freedom, we can go far if we go together.”

Offering a slew of noteworthy music headgear, portable speakers, gizmo guards and a few cult loved gadgets, the true tech-savvy and social geek won’t have to think twice about a single purchase.

Pushing the envelope further, the much loved gadget accessory store recently unveiled a new twist in their Eastwood Mall location: Recession Coffee by Digital Walker. Truly a coffee lover’s dream in the heart of Eastwood City, the cafe shares its space with the fun and funky tech store, and have worked closely with the EDSA beverage design group to provide their patrons with the best cup of coffee at whatever price they wish to pay. Yes, it’s a pay-what-you-want café.

Coffee enthusiasts and purists alike can now have excellent coffee brews. Choosing from a list of Espressos, for example, one may try the aptly named beans “Dark Matter Theory.” For the pour over coffee enthusiasts, a choice selection of Panama Carmen Estate, Ethiopia Sidamo Guji Suke Quto, and Kenya Wakulima grinds are available for discerning coffee-geek connoisseurs to analyze. Pair the cup with colorful, delectable confectionery offerings by Chef Miko Aspiras – or four. They’re delicious.



Recession’s Pay-What-You-Want concept challenges coffee aficionados to show their love for coffee by giving them the freedom to pay as much as they want for a cup. But, because Recession Coffee and Digital Walker have a deep appreciation for a dry sense of humor, it would be good to know that your cup will also get a price badge to poke fun at just how much cash is received. Give an amount greater than P200 and receive a marriage proposal, or contribute P50 and be mistaken for someone in between jobs. So contribute modestly at your own risk.

Visit the first branch of Recession Coffee by Digital Walker from the hours of 11am to 10pm at the 4th floor of Eastwood Mall, 1880 Eastwood Building, Eastwood Avenue, Eastwood City, Quezon City. For live updates, follow them on Instagram and Twitter with handle @digitalkwalkerph, or, like them on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/digitalwalkerstore, and track them with hashtags #digitalwalker and #recessioncoffee.

Lamudi Philippines Reports 2015 Growth

Data shows that the Lamudi PH website is now the most visited real estate platform in the Philippines.

MANILA, September 3, 2015: Lamudi Philippines (www.lamudi.com.ph) is now officially the most visited real estate website in the Philippines. Citing its own data and that from web analytics platform SimilarWeb, Lamudi reported that visits to its platform for the first six months of 2015 is 34 percent higher than those recorded for the entire 2014. In addition, at 320,000 monthly visits, Lamudi’s site visits via desktop are now at least 28 percent higher than its nearest competitor.

2015 was also a year of milestones for Lamudi. In February, the company secured $18 million in funding to boost its operations in Asia and Latin America. In May, Lamudi acquired competitor MyProperty.ph to further cement its position as the Philippines’ number one property website.

A first in Philippine real estate, Lamudi Philippines is also harnessing its massive online and listings data to generate reports and other content for Filipino homebuyers and property investors. For example, Lamudi analyzes data from its listings and regularly publishes content on condo, house, and commercial property price data.

The company’s onsite search data also provides a picture of online property-hunters’ behaviors and preferences. Lamudi found that most Filipino homebuyers still prefer houses over condos, despite Metro Manila’s condo boom, and that Quezon City is the most searched city in the Philippines for properties. Furthermore, Lamudi found that U.S.-based house-hunters are looking for houses more than half of the time (57.8 percent) and that after Quezon City, Makati, and Manila, Tagaytay and Baguio are the fourth and fifth most searched cities by Filipino-Americans.

According to Lamudi Philippines managing director Jacqueline van den Ende, these reports generated from the platform’s data provide sellers, brokers, and property developers much-needed insight to inform their marketing strategies.

“For a while, we’ve known that Filipinos are rapidly moving online to inform their purchase—from clothes, gadgets, and even real estate. But most sellers of real estate still have no idea as to how homebuyers behave online. Our data provides these sellers with data on buyers’ preferences, from location, price range, size, type, and even amenities.”

To tap into mobile-first consumers, the Lamudi Philippines app is now available for both iOS and Android devices, while the website itself has a mobile version. van den Ende said the importance of being available on mobile cannot be overemphasized. In the first half of 2015 alone, 32 and 15 percent of Lamudi’s traffic came from mobile and tablet users. Swedish ICT provider Ericsson also reported in June that mobile penetration in the Philippines will reach 40 percent by the end of this year, thanks to the popularity of more affordable smartphones.

ENDS.
