LONDON, ENGLAND, February 06, 2013 (Press-News.org) The world's leading electric violinists Linzi Stoppard and Ben Lee, aka FUSE, rock out for Iveco HI WAY global launch, including a performance of the special FUSE version of Bruce Springsteen's 'working on the highway' smash hit.
Iveco launches the STRALIS Hi-Way, the next generation of the company's heavy-duty vehicle range. The new STRALIS offers a highly competitive proposition to the heavy-duty transport sector of today and tomorrow.
The vehicle stands out in efficiency, quality and customer value and delivers in terms of Iveco's commitment to sustainable mobility with ultra-clean tailpipe emissions.
With the new STRALIS Hi-Way, Iveco reinforces the company's strategy to reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) for the customer. The STRALIS Hi-Way delivers reduced fuel consumption, lower maintenance costs, enhanced reliability and quality, improved cabin ergonomics and driver comfort as well as optimised operational management.
To match the new world class standards set by leading truck company Iveco, FUSE were hired to provide equally world class entertainment to match the status of the event. Re-inventing a traditionally classical instrument into a contemporary powerhouse that inspires the audiences across many demographics and generations has become FUSE's signature and well deserved reputation. Using analogue guitar modules and amplification FUSE has a created a sound unrivalled in the violin world. Couple that with rock anthems, executed with world class precision, and you get an intoxicating blend that complimented the launch of the world's most advance haulage transportation.
The STRALIS Hi-Way features highly-innovative new engine technology - including the patented HI-eSCR developed by FPT Industrial for Euro VI - to meet the latest emission standards while leaving fuel efficiency gains uncompromised.
The STRALIS Hi-Way comes, in addition, with a thoroughly redesigned cabin, advanced and integrated telematics systems, improved customer service tools, as well as state of the art road safety applications.
The new vehicle generation has undergone extensive quality and reliability audits with over 6 million kilometres of durability testing and over 11 million kilometres of real-world driving exposure.
Alessandro Mortali, Senior Vice President Heavy Range Iveco, said: "The new STRALIS maximises savings in all key cost areas. As a result, the total cost of ownership for the ten most common vehicle missions decreases by up to 4%".
Enzo Gioachin, Senior Vice President Sales and Marketing Iveco, said: "The current economic situation is among the most critical our industry ever faced. With the launch of the New STRALIS, we are countering the negative trend. Our package offers the right combination of innovation, enhanced services, and direct cost advantages to our customers".
The new STRALIS is manufactured at the Iveco heavy vehicle production facility in Madrid, Spain. This plant was recently awarded a silver medal in the prestigious World Class Manufacturing (WCM) programme, one of the highest scores possible. The programme focuses on eliminating waste and loss, and involves an international, objective auditing of 20 items covering workplace organisation, quality, maintenance and logistics.
The eponymously titled debut album from FUSE and is released through Edel Records. The virtuoso electric violin duo harness their bespoke gold-coated Kevlar Carbon-Fibre signature Bridge electric violins and seize classic Rock tracks and put them through the FUSE wringer! The results are radical, innovative but loving reinterpretations for violin. "FUSE" features 14 incredible tracks including 'Fix You' by Coldplay, Michael Jackson's 'Beat It', Glorious by Andreas Johnson and a stunning blend of the mediaeval 'O Fortuna' from Carmina Burana and Zeppelin's 'Kashmir'. All tracks have been reworked and reanimated in the unique FUSE way. The duo have had to invent new ways to render melodies that were vocal on the original tracks. FUSE aim to prove that the electric violin can be as versatile as the electric guitar - a valedictory romp through "I Love Rock N Roll" seems to seal the deal!

New Jersey alimony: time to reform spousal support for the 21st Century?
2013-02-06
A marriage is an economic arrangement as much as it is a social relationship. When a marriage ends, financial matters are at the forefront of divorce proceedings.
Many divorces, in New Jersey and elsewhere, involve awards of alimony -- otherwise known as spousal support. When a judge awards alimony in divorce proceedings, the breadwinner of the family is expected to make payments to his or her former spouse after the marriage has ended.
But should judges have unrestrained discretion to set the amount and duration of alimony payments? There is a growing call in New ...
Workers' comp denied for out-of-town workers commuting to job site
2013-02-06
Georgia workers' compensation provides benefits to workers accidentally injured in the course of their jobs. There must be a causal relationship between work duties and the injury.

Colorado legalizes pot but not stoned driving
2013-02-06
For years, there has been debate about the legalization of marijuana. For many, it was hard to envision a state legalizing marijuana for any purpose other than medical use.
Recently, however, Colorado legalized the limited use of marijuana for recreational purposes. Nonetheless, there are restrictions on the amount that can be purchased and consumed at any one time and on activities one can pursue while under the influence of marijuana, such as driving.

Child support payments in Michigan increase due to economic recovery
2013-02-06
Increases in court-ordered child support payments may point to a recovering economy in Michigan. The news comes after several years of rising unemployment and difficult financial times, creating a situation in which over ten percent of child support payments came from welfare checks. However, that number has been falling, and is projected to continue falling as the economy improves and those responsible for child support payments are now able to honor their obligations.

Virginia laws crack down on teens who drink - and their parents
2013-02-06
Virginia's legislature takes drunk driving very seriously, and for good reason.

Sending a message

California juvenile crime rate drops to record low
2013-02-06
Figures compiled by the California Department of Justice's Criminal Justice Statistics Center (and recently released by the non-profit Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice) Corrections shows that the state's juvenile crime rate is now the lowest it has been since comprehensive recordkeeping started in 1954.
The drop in juvenile crime is particularly noteworthy in that it has continued to fall in spite of widespread economic distress and high rates of poverty, two things that have traditionally foreshadowed rises in violent crime, gang activity, drug crimes and theft.

Compensation for birth injuries caused by medical negligence
2013-02-06
Giving birth is inherently a difficult process, and there are many things that can go wrong. Sometimes, babies are born with life-altering conditions that came about through no fault of health care providers. But, when a doctor, nurse or another caregiver caused a birth injury, parents should consult an attorney in order to help secure compensation.
Yet, it can be extremely difficult for new parents to recognize when the negligence of hospital staff has led to a birth injury. For that reason, it can be helpful for new parents to learn about some of the most common birth ...
