Is the Hyper FB Traffic course a scam? This is a good question because after checking out their website and watching the promo video I was really curious to see if this training course would live up to it's claims or just disapoint.
Name: Hyper FB Traffic
Website: www.hyperfbtraffic.com
Owner: David Blaze and Simon Adams
Price: $39
Overall Rank: 37 out of 100
What Is It?(supposidly)
Instead of getting straight into what this program really is, I'll explain to you what they're "claiming" to be.
They claim to be a course that will teach you how to make a lot of money using Facebook. From checking out their video and website alone, you won't actually be able to tell exactly what this course is all about.
Before you buy the product they just talk a lot about how quickly you can get rich from this product. They throw out some pretty high earnings claims like $144,823.37 in just one month.
I've never really been a big fan of websites showing me bank account statements mainly because they're so easy to fake using photoshop. This automatically causes me to lose trust in them, not only that but it's a little sleazy in my opinion to brag and show off huge earnings, even if it is legit.
They go on to talk a lot about the fact that you don't need any experience to succeed at this. They say that once you've purchased the course, all you need is a Facebook account which you most likely have already.
Another slightly sleazy tactic they use is a phot of a Range Rover and then the cheque they used to buy it. So they're saying they bought the Range Rover outright.
Again, just because they use these types of "show off" tactics doesn't mean that it's a scam. I just personally don't like when people do this. It rubs me the wrong way.
Not only that, but all of the best programs for making money online that I've reviewed refrain from doing this type of thing.
Usually the good programs out there will offer a free trial so that people can see for themselves if it's good or not. I find that this is a great way to gain people's trust because they don't have anything to lose if it's free.
So this program has me nervous right off the bat because they're using sleazy show off sales techniques and they don't offer a free trial. These are just a couple things I look out for.
What It REALLY Is
Since they don't give us any information about what exactly we'll be doing to make money from Facebook, I had to buy this product in order to give it a proper review.
Once I bought it I could finally find out what it's really all about. One positive thing that I can say is that this is a Clickbank product which means that I shouldn't have any problem getting a refund.
Clickbank is known to be reliable at giving refunds. This is a nice peace of mind that you can have any time you buy something through Clickbank. Don't let that fool you though because although Clickbank is good with refunds, they are also known to have some shady products.
So after I bought this program, I learned that it's a 10 Step Course. Each step is going to focus on something different and the first thing they want you to do is go get a Clickbank account.
I was surprised when they were telling me to get a clickbank account because I had no idea yet that this program was teaching affiliate marketing.
They said nothing about affiliate marketing in the promo video or sales page. I actually was happy to hear this because I have a lot of experience with affiliate marketing and I've made a lot of money this way.
As I read further on, my happiness turned to disapointment. I was disapointed because I discovered that all this course was teaching people to do is promote Hyper FB Traffic to other people.
I hate when a "make money online opportunity" only focuses on showing us how to promote the very program that we just bought. It's just a recycled idea and that means that you'll be competing with all the other members out there who are trying to sell the exact same thing that you are.
Step 1 – Get Your Clickbank Account
Clickbank is the biggest online affiliate program for digital products. They carry a lot of digital products and there are basically 2 ways to use Clickbank.
The first way you can use it is as an affiliate marketer promoting different digital products. Once you have an account with clickbank you can get a personalized affiliate link for any of the products they carry and then you can plaster that affiliate link anywhere you want online with the hopes that people click it an buy the product.
If anyone buys the product after clicking your link, you'll get a commission paid out to you through clickbank.
The second way you can use Clickbank is as a product creator. If you create a digital product, you can then get your product on Clickbank so that other affiliate marketers can try to sell it for you and then you'd split the commission with them if they're successful.
Step 2 – Posting To Facebook
Now that you've got your Clickbank account and affiliate link you're ready to start posting it. This step shows you how to post your affiliate link on Facebook and what to write as a status along with your link.
They also show you how to use shortener programs to hide the fact that your links are affiliate links. Some people believe that a link is more likely to be clicked if people are aware that it's an affiliate link.
So this information is really simple and so far it's not worth the money.
Step 3 – Posting Videos
So in this step they give you a bunch of videos that you can post. You can post these videos on Facebook, Youtube or anywhere you want.
Each video comes with different titles, descriptions and tags you can use for them. They say that you can choose from a few different options here as to try to make your videos different from the other members.
I think this is kinda lame because all you'll be doing is posting the same videos as other members which really isn't effective.
Step 4 – Posting To Twitter
This is another really simple video. It just walks you through how to open a twitter account and then it gives you pre-written tweets that you can post with your link added on.
That's pretty much all you learn in this step.
Step 5 – Building Traffic
Another really short and simple video that shows you how to get traffic to your Facebook page and of course to your affiliate links.
They're showing us a techniques that uses Fiverr.com to generate traffic. I've heard of other programs talking about Fiverr as a way to generate traffic.
The theory behind it is that at least half of the people on Fiverr are looking for a way to make money online. This means that if you can get some of those people to your page, they are likely to be interested in this system.
Step 6 – Solo Ads
In this step they recommend using solo ads. Solo ads are when you pay someone else to send a message to their list of email addresses.
So you just have to come up with a message that talks about the opportunity and uncludes your affiliate link. The idea is to send it to a list of people who are actually interested in making money online.
This is a legitimate way to get the message out there and it could really be effective. They also give you pre-written messages that you can use and all you have to to is input your personal affiliate link.
Step 7 – Submitting Articles
In this step they talk about getting traffic by posting articles. They provide you with articles that you just have to copy and add to your page. Pretty easy and straight forward.
Step 8 – Distribute An Audio File
They provide you with a 70 minute audio file that you can distribute anywhere you like. Of course they recommend places you should distribute it like facebook, emails, forums, solo ads and podcasts.
This podcast is basically a big sales pitch for Hyper FB Traffic so it does a lot of the work for you. You just have to ad your affiliate link to it.
Step 9 – Banner Ads
They have a big selection of banner ads that you can use as you please. They recommend some good places to place these and they even say you can download them to your computer to keep.
This is a very simple step.
Step 10 – Email Swipe Files
This step talks about the effectiveness of sending emails as a way to get sales. They provide you with pre-written emails that you just have to copy and add in your affiliate link.
They don't really teach you anything here, they just give you a template and tell you to use it.
Final Thoughts
The idea of this program turns me off immediately because all your learning is how to promote a program that you just bought. I hate that.
The commission isn't bad as you'll get 50% of any sale you make so that's not too bad if you really want to promote this program.
One of the major downfalls of this entire system is the fact that they are giving you pre-written or pre-made content to send out. The problem with that is Google hates it and they won't rank you unless you're using original content.
For that reason you'll never get free traffic with this program. I always recommend using original content that you've written because you'll have a far better chance at getting ranked and then getting free traffic.
Nobody will believe what you're saying to be true if they've already seen the exact same ad or sales pitch coming from somebody else or even multiple other people. That's why this technique isn't effective.
The whole step on Twitter is just lame to me. It's not hard posting a tweet and I'm pretty sure most people can figure it out themselves. The major problem here is that if you don't already have a twitter following then this step is useless to you because they don't give you any advice on how to build a following.
From my experience Fiverr is a very poor source of traffic. Most of the traffic you get from friverr are bots that cannot actually buy anything so it's useless.
You'd be wasting your money if you bought traffic from fiverr.
So in conclusion I'll say that Hyper FB Traffic is not a complete scam. There are some ok methods in here and you might learn a few things but I really doubt you'll make a living from this. I actually wouldn't be surprised if most of the people who've bought this haven't even made 1 sale.
Affiliate marketing is actually a great way for beginners to make money online but you really need to make sure you take the right training.
There's a few really good training programs that I'd recommend trying out. You'll probably be best to start with one that offers a free trial like Wealthy Affiliate because then you'll know if it's right for you before you spend any money on it.
Thanks very much for stoping by today and I hope you found this review helpful. Please feel free to leave me a comment or question in the box below.

I can't believe that my club could go down to the fourth tier of football.
As a Coventry City supporter since the halcyon days of Jimmy Hill I've been through all the highs and lows of following my beloved Sky Blues, but leaving the Ricoh Arena on Saturday after losing to fellow strugglers Crewe I felt really low at the thought that my club could get relegated next week to League Two.
Seeking solace in the pub with fellow City fans who were as depressed as I was I tried to find comfort in alcohol but the booze made me feel even more morose, especially when I heard that teams below us had all won leaving us in the position of needing at least a point away at Crawley on the final match of the season on Sunday.
Some bloke in the pub who wasn't a football fan asked me why were we all so bloody miserable?
Only a non-football fan would ask a question like that wouldn't he? But that's what this game we all love so much can do to you as at the moment I feel like I'm awaiting bad news and there's sod all I can do about it but steel myself and take it like a man if the worst thing does happen.
That sounds like a bereavement is about to occur and in a way it is, as relegation to the fourth tier of football could be the death of Coventry City Football Club and be the final nail in the coffin.
Yet in football as in life you only get what you deserve in the end so if we do go down it's because that's where our performances have led us and you have to take it on the chin.
But why has it all gone so wrong for the Sky Blues who have played Premier League football and won the F.A.Cup and play home games in a 32,000 seater stadium? City fans like myself who watched us throughout a record breaking 34 consecutive seasons in the top flight of football and as a club that was a founder member of the Premier League would say the reason we are where we are is because we sell all our best players and secondly we should have stayed at our previous ground Highfield Road, our home for 106 years.
Since moving to the Ricoh Arena ten years ago we have achieved nothing and only the hardcore supporters bother to turn up these days. Add to this having owners who have no idea how to run a football club as they are a two bit hedge fund with an office in Mayfair in London whose owner is a woman who spends all her time in the Cayman Islands instead of ever coming to Coventry to take a look at the mess her inept cronies are doing to our club. Is it any wonder Coventry City are on the cusp of dropping down to League Two?
So put all of these things together and I've answered my own question as to why it's all gone pear shaped. How on earth can you progress when you sell your top strikers, best defenders and number one keepers, replacing them with loanees who stay for a short while and then move on, have the owners from hell who love to take out financially but put nothing back in ? The only positive note I can end my article on is that in those 34 consecutive seasons we managed to avoid relegation 10 times on the final day of the campaign which showed there was a fighting spirit in those teams, but looking at this current squad who wear the Sky Blue they don't appear to have the toughness needed to mount a fight.
R.I.P. Coventry City Football Club.

My history
Once upon a time when I worked in office I had terrible back ache. As I know my body, I noticed that I have to do some exercise.
I have done dance and kung fu before I became pregnant.
I started to visit more clubs and exercise classes. Finally I found a tai chi school and did weekly group exercise and daily myself.
When I kept my daily and weekly routine, my back ache gone but sometimes I was feeling tired and I said, tomorrow.... after 3 days my back ache has came back.
So I started to check this way. And yes, if I done daily my tai chi and qigong exercises I had not back problem.
I thought I can share this experience to everyone and help them with my knowledge.
I have been learning and teaching Tai chi and Qigong many years with lots of very good feed-back. See on Testimonials

Besides history, Málaga offers the stunning scenery of the Costa del Sol and great weather combined with culture and a beautiful stretch of beach. Leafy palm trees line the seaside promenades, and tropical vegetation flourishes throughout the city. Málaga's old-world ambience enchants visitors who take the time to explore.

1 Alcazaba de Málaga: An Old Moorish Castle
Stronghold of the Moorish kings, this ancient Moorish castle was built in the ninth century (and rebuilt in the 11th century) on the ruins of a Roman bastion. The town's Muslim rulers governed from this citadel for several centuries. Advantageously perched on the Mount of Gibralfaro, the fortified palace was designed with three circuits of defense walls and 110 main towers. Visitors can see some of the remaining towers including the Torre de la Vela (tower), the Arco de Cristo (entrance), and the impressive Torre del Homenaje (tower). Another highlight is the beautiful garden in the castle's courtyards.
Today, the Alcazaba houses the Museum of Málaga, which contains two museums: The Provincial Museum of Fine Arts has an excellent permanent collection of local 19th-century paintings as well as renowned pieces by Spanish artists Muñoz Degrain, Enrique Jaraba, Joaquin Sorolla, and Salas. The museum also displays two of Picasso's earliest works: the Study of Old People painting and The Old Man with the Blanket. The Archaeology Museum exhibits Roman antiquities, a collection of Hispano-Arab pottery, and models of the castle. Near the Alcazaba on the west side of the Mount of Gibralfaro is the Teatro Romano, the ruins of an ancient Roman theater dating from the time of Augustus. Outdoor theatrical performances are held here occasionally.
Address: 2 Calle Alcazabilla, Málaga
2 Cathedral
From the Plaza de la Marina, the Calle Molina Larios leads into the Old Town, which is dominated by the cathedral. With its twin-towered facade, this grandiose 16th-century building stands on the site of an earlier mosque. Visitors are dazzled by the finely proportioned interior and sense of spaciousness. The cathedral's Capilla del Rosario (the third chapel in the south aisle) is adorned with a painting of the Virgin with Saints by Alonso Cano. In the Capilla de los Reyes (the first choir chapel on the right) and on the left-hand wall are kneeling figures of the Catholic Monarchs by Pedro de Mena. This chapel also contains the statuette of the Virgin, which Ferdinand and Isabella carried with them on their military campaigns. The modern altar in the Capilla Mayor features Passion scenes of 1580. The choir is especially noteworthy with its exquisitely carved 17th-century stalls. The 40 carved wooden statues of saints were the work of Pedro de Mena and José Micael. Tourists may ascend the 86-meter-high North Tower to take in splendid panoramic views.
After visiting the cathedral, spend time exploring the Old Town, a tangle of narrow medieval lanes and quiet squares. Many of the atmospheric streets are lined with quaint boutiques, cafés, and atmospheric tapas restaurants. At the heart of the Old Town, the Plaza de la Constitución is a hub of activity.
Address: Calle Molina Larios, Málaga
3 La Concepcion Jardin Botanico (Botanical Gardens)
La Concepcion Botanical Gardens were created in 1855 by the Marquis and Marchioness of Loring. These exquisite grounds are filled with vibrant Mediterranean, tropical, and subtropical flora. Plant species found in the gardens come from all over the world. A collection of several different gardens, La Conception offers an exceptional diversity of landscapes. The Historical Gardens cover three hectares of romantic-style gardens filled with unusual species, tropical plants, and exotic flowers. Surrounding the Historical Gardens are 23 hectares of new gardens with special exhibits such as "Plants of the Region" and "Around the World in 80 Trees." The Hibiscus Avenue is a floral pathway that leads to the northern end of the gardens. The Gonzalez-Andreu Garden showcases more than 50 diverse plant species from the Solomon Islands, Polynesia, China, Japan, Australia, Brazil, and Mexico. For a charming place to relax, the Wisteria Arbor is especially beautiful when blooming in late March or early April.
Visitors could spend several hours exploring the gardens. Various thematic walking routes are designed to highlight special features. The Forest Route travels through a lush woodland, and Viewpoint Route includes sensational views over the city. The Around the World Route is a delightful walking tour through the florae of the five continents, from Europe and America to Asia, Africa, and Oceania. The Jewels of La Concepcion Route is an hour-and-a-half stroll over footbridges, past waterfalls, ponds, unique palm trees, and the Doric-style Museum.
Address: Camino del Jardín Botánico, Málaga
4 Castillo de Gibralfaro
Standing proudly on the Mount Gibralfaro hilltop above the Alcazaba, the Castillo de Gibralfaro is another medieval Moorish fortress. Abd-al-Rahman III, the Caliph of Cordoba, built the castle in the 10th century on the site of a Phoenician lighthouse. The name is derived from the word "gebel-faro" (Arabic and Greek words that mean "rock of the lighthouse"). The Sultan of Granada, Yusef the First, enlarged the fortress in the early 14th century, yet the Castillo de Gibralfaro is most famous for its three-month siege by the Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabella. The image of this building appears on Málaga's flag as well as the flag of the province.
Although now mostly in ruins, the site is appreciated for its stunning panoramas and historical value. From this vantage point, visitors can see the port of Málaga and the serene Mediterranean coastline. The most visible remains of the fortress are the immense old ramparts, which rise above the woodlands. Inside the walls are the relics of buildings and courtyards typical of Islamic architecture. Take a scenic walk around the well-restored ramparts to discover the grounds and enjoy magnificent views of the harbor. Also high on Mount Gibralfaro near the Castillo and the Alcazaba is a superb hotel, the Parador de Málaga Gibralfaro. Set amid a forest of pine trees, this luxury accommodation features Moorish-style architecture, comfortable rooms, and a roof terrace with a swimming pool. The hotel's stylish restaurant serves traditional Andalusian cuisine.
Address: Camino de Gibralfaro, Málaga
5 Pablo Ruíz Picasso Foundation Birthplace Museum
A must-see attraction for lovers of modern art, this museum in the Old Town occupies the house where Picasso was born and displays 233 pieces by the artist. The collection represents the entire span of Picasso's life and art career, from his earliest studies to his revolutionary artistic innovations. The collection includes artworks created between 1892 and 1972 reflecting the wide range of styles and techniques that Picasso mastered. Examples of Picasso's creativity, versatility, and talent are seen in his reworking of paintings by the European masters, as well as the variety of styles he introduced, such as Cubism. The collection highlights themes such as the portrait, still life paintings, landscapes, and nudes. The museum also displays Picasso's studio where he painted nude models. Highlights of the collection include the Mother and Child(1921), the Acrobat (1930), Woman with Raised Arms (1936), Still Life with Skull and Three Sea Urchins (1947), Jacqueline Seated (1954), the Bather (1971), and Musketeer with a Sword (1972).
Address: Palacio de Buenavista, 8 Calle San Agustín, Málaga
6 Basílica Nuestra Señora de la Victoria
The Basílica Nuestra Señora de la Victoria is north of the Picasso Museum, reached by way of Calle de la Victoria. This 17th-century Baroque church is one of the most important churches in Málaga. A listed historic monument, the Basilica stands on the site where the Catholic Monarchs pitched a siege of Málaga during the Reconquest. The church contains the Shrine of Our Lady of Victory with a 15th-century figure of the Virgen de la Victoria, Patron Saint of the town. The figure was a gift of Emperor Maximilian I to King Ferdinand. Among the paintings and sculptures decorating the sanctuary, highlights are the two sculptures by Pedro de Mena. Another must-see piece is the Altarpiece of San Francisco de Paula by Luis Ortiz de Vargas. The basilica houses some of its art treasures within an exhibition hall.
Address: Plaza Santuario, Málaga
7 Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares (Museum of Arts and Customs)
This charming museum is found within the Old Town of Málaga, housed in a typical Andalusian building of the 17th century. The building's architecture reveals Moorish elements such as whitewashed walls, Islamic tile work, a central patio, and pleasant gardens.

8 Mercado de Atarazanas (Market Hall)
From the Alameda, side streets lead north to the Mercado de Atarazanas, the town's historic marketplace. Just the entrance is worth seeing in itself. This horseshoe-shaped Islamic gateway dates to the 14th century and is the only remaining part of the old Moorish shipyard. Enter the spacious market building to find a bustling scene of vendors selling fresh fruits, vegetables, fish, meat, and cheese. The morning, when fresh fish arrives, is the liveliest time to visit. The market hall has been beautifully renovated after being closed for many years. The most striking feature of the interior is the stained-glass window that depicts the historic landmarks of Málaga.
Another area for shopping and snacking a few blocks away is the Calle Marques de Larios, a street lined with many clothing shops, jewelry boutiques, shoe stores, confectionery shops, and cafés.
Address: Mercado de Atarazanas, Calle Atarazanas, Málaga
9 Semana Santa (Holy Week)
Málaga is known for its extravagant and spectacular Holy Week celebrations. This is a wonderful time to visit, when fantastic religious processions bring the city to life. The tradition of Holy Week dates back more than 500 years, from the time of the Catholic Monarchs' Reconquest of Andalusia. A delight for all the senses, the evening processions feature lavish floats (displaying sacred icons) accompanied by lively marching bands or musicians singing flamenco songs. Adding to the ambience, thousands of penitents follow the procession route carrying flickering candles.
The Museo de la Semana Santa (Museum of Holy Week) is found on Calle Muro, housed in the 17th-century Antiguo Hospital de San Julián (hospital). The museum displays 150 different exhibits in thematic categories such as sculptures, trousseau pictures, and processional images. Visitors will enjoy the extensive collection of religious figures, traditional costumes, and icons used during Holy Week processions, while learning about the regional customs.
Address: 2 Calle Muro de San Julián, Málaga

Greek, Roman, and Byzantine cultures are represented, and newer works include examples of 20th-century Art Deco and the contemporary work of several celebrated Scandinavian craftsmen. The collection also includes several pieces of 19th- and 20th-century stained glass. In addition, the museum is housed in a remarkably well-preserved 18th-century home, which features 16 period-furnished rooms containing not only the collection of more than 3,000 glass objects, but also antique furniture, paintings, and décor.

Address: Plazuela Santísimo Cristo de la Sangre, 2, Málaga
Where to Stay in Málaga for Sightseeing
Málaga appeals to two types of vacation-goers: those who appreciate culture and old-world charm (found in the historical city center) and those seeking fun in the sun at the Costa del Sol beaches. Stay in or near the Old Town to be within walking distance of the Alcazaba, cathedral, Picasso Museum, and Basílica, and to amble the quaint cobblestone streets. For those who prefer a vacation of sunbathing and relaxation, one of the city's beach hotels is the best choice. Below is a list of highly-rated hotels in both the Old Town and by the seaside:
- Luxury Hotels: In the city center (about a 20-minute walk from the Old Town) overlooking the Bay of Malaga, the stately Gran Hotel Miramar GL offers elegant rooms, spa facilities, a swimming pool, gorgeous historic gardens, and stunning sea views. In the Old Town, the Vincci Seleccion Posada del Patio is a recently-built hotel that combines avant-garde design with traditional Andalusian elements. About a 10-minute walk from the Old Town, in a trendy urban neighborhood near the waterfront, the Room Mate Valeria is a boutique hotel with a pleasant terrace and Andalusian patio.
- Mid-Range Hotels: Near the Plaza de la Constitución, in a bustling part of the Old Town, the Art Deco-style Room Mate Larios Hotel has a lovely rooftop terrace and balconies that overlook the Calle Marqués de Larios pedestrian shopping street. Also in the heart of the Old Town, the Petit Palace Plaza Malaga offers easy access to great restaurants and Malaga's top cultural attractions. Steps away from the beautiful Malagueta Beach and the Pablo Picasso waterfront promenade, the Hotel Los Naranjos has cheerful rooms with all the amenities.
- Budget Hotels: Centrally located near the Old Town, just a five-minute walk from the cathedral and Picasso Museum, the Hotel Don Curro has spacious rooms with parquet floors. Clean and bright, the Hotel La Chancla is a short stroll from a small, sheltered beach and a 10-minute drive from the Old Town of Malaga. The Sunset Beach Club is a beachfront resort that boasts excellent amenities for the price: rooms with terraces, a swimming pool, several restaurants, and a concierge desk. Slightly on the higher end but still affordable, the beachfront Las Vegas Hotel keeps guests happy with direct access to sandy shores and a swimming pool in a picturesque garden setting.
Tips and Tours: How to Make the Most of Your Visit to Málaga
- Segway into the Old Town: A fun and relaxing way to explore Málaga's historic attractions is on a guided Segway sightseeing tour. This one-hour tour roams the Old Town, visiting Constitution Square and stopping for photo-ops at Málaga Cathedral, the Alcazaba citadel, and Museo Picasso. Those who opt for the two-hour tour will continue on to explore the Castillo de Gibralfaro and enjoy views over the city before descending to the Málaga Promenade.
- To Britain and Back in a Day: The full-day sightseeing trip from Málaga to Gibraltar is a wonderful option if you want to visit this small British territory. The area's most famous feature is the Rock of Gibraltar, a limestone promontory famous for its size and position overlooking the strait of the same name. Tourists will spend time with a knowledgeable guide here and see St. Michael's Cave, a set of enormous cliffside caverns. The second half of the day, tourists are free to explore the city and enjoy its duty-free shopping and distinct British ambience.
- Out of Africa: Just across the Strait of Gibraltar is the exotic North African country of Morocco. A full-day excursion from Málaga to the Moroccan city of Tangier includes transportation by land and high-speed ferry across the Strait of Gibraltar to this historic and charismatic city. Here, tourists will explore by coach and by foot, led by an experienced guide. Highlights include the Casbah (old citadel) and a chance to walk through traditional markets, where you can find everything from snake charmers to handcrafted souvenirs. The tour includes a traditional Moroccan lunch and free time on the beach in the afternoon.

The original basis of norm ISO 13485, as declared in the text itself, is ISO 9001. Its standards structure is, in fact, identical in form to ISO 9001 and shows how, when compared to other standards systems such as those of the automotive sector, 13485, there is, effectively in practice, a standard for quality management systems with additional and/or particular specific requirements compared to ISO 9001.
The requirements are substantially identical to ISO 9001 and are added to only by the strict connection with medical devices, so the requisites with which they comply also require the specific cogent requisites of the medical sector including territorial (national or regional) prescriptions or regulations.
From what has already been announced it clearly emerges that ISO 13485 requires the management of a quantity of information (documents and registrations) higher than what is normally required for an ISO 9001 system. The same concept of control and traceability is applied, implicitly, to these documents and registrations that is naturally applied to products.
It is therefore evident that having an IT support which is capable of organizing information and guaranteeing its safe conservation and traceability is an obvious choice for firms which decide to seek certification under ISO 13485.
QualiWare, with its all-round completeness already manages to manage systems (even complex ones) in accordance with ISO 9001: in the case of ISO 13485 the software's standard modules can be used with only the slightest adaptations to the specific situation of the company in question. Using the Form Designer the specific management tools required for the particular medical devices produced by the firm can be created (traceability modules, field information gathering, recording of operations, etc.).
All managed by a single database and in a controlled manner, something which isn't possible if you rely on the traditional Office tools for your information management. As we have seen, ISO 13485 requires a series of procedures much greater than ISO 9001 and a registration system which is just as big.
QualiWare's powerful document management module lets you look after all these procedures, as well as all the other support documents (operating instructions, manuals, not only of the system but also of the product) also with personalized workflows which are different depending on type.
The need to understand what is registered and the related storing of data, including that of the external commercial structure, can be met using QualiWare web functions which allow you to register and store even via internet, and thus not at your client's or distributor's premises. QualiWare's research and document organization tools are everything you need to manage, in a simple way, also return information (categorizable and easily findable by product, by type, by client, by geographical location, by medical application, etc…).
Also the Planning management module can turn out to be useful for keeping track of project progress, of the various checking stages, revisions and validations, and all connected documentation (internal and external).
Finally, the new Revision management module (and not only the Direction version) can surely be a valuable management support inasmuch as revisions themselves make up a large part of the standard and must therefore be handled dynamically, with decisional generation which can lead to preventive and improving corrective action or which brings and keeps the product/service up to scratch. The standard requires several of these (direction, validation, etc…) thus their correct performance is a considerable strong point.

Automotive vehicle valuation company, Kelley Blue Book (KBB) in America has handed three Hyundai models their "5-year Cost to Own Award" having found them to be the lowest cost of ownership over their initial 5-year period when compared to any other cars in their category. The three models consists of the 2013 Veloster, 2013 Veloster Turbo and the 2013 Sonata.
The 2013 Hyundai Veloster came out tops in the Compact Car Segment, while its forced-induced sibling, the Veloster Turbo, clinched first place in the Sporty Compact Category. However, Hyundai's 2013 Sonata was able to surge ahead of its competition to become the best in the Mid-Size Car Segment against the likes of Honda's Accord and Toyota's Camry.
Though mostly applicable in the US, the criteria for KBB's 5-Year Cost to Own Award takes into account the expenses incurred for owning a particular vehicle; making reference to depreciation levels, expected fuel costs, finance and insurance fees, maintenance and repair costs and state fees for new models – all of which help those shopping for a new car to make a more informed decisions before purchasing their new ride.
According to Scott Margason, Director of Product Planning at Hyundai Motor America: "Low cost of ownership is one area in which Hyundai strives to be industry-leading, and receiving these awards from KBB showcases our ability to cater to the varying dynamics of our customers. Regardless of which vehicle our customers choose."
While America deems the new Veloster a cost-effective vehicle to own over a 5-year period, it only makes us wonder how cost-effective it really is in our neck of the woods. Do leave your comments as to how your Sonata or Veloster is treating you thus far, even though the Veloster just made its debut here in December 2012.

Do you have questions about breastfeeding? Have you tried and had trouble? Are you debating if it is worth the trouble? Breastfeeding is the healthiest, cheapest and greenest way to feed a new baby. It is also the most convenient. Trisha at This Intoxicated Life feels so strongly about the topic that she has worked with 25 amazing bloggers to pull together over 40 new posts on breastfeeding.
She has an amazing reference list of topics including basics like the benefits of breastfeeding (so many it goes on for 3 posts), myths about breastfeeding and breastfeeding multiples. She also has bloggers writing on specific topics such as clogged ducts and pores, breastfeeding while pregnant, baby led weaning, and even breastfeeding and cancer treatment. There are also support posts for breastfeeding in public for the shy mom, the mom who can't breastfeed, and breastfeeding preemies.
I am contributing a post dispelling myths of breastfeeding when babies are in the NICU. We started blogging when my twins were 4, so we never wrote about them being preemies and spending a month in the NICU. I still managed to breastfeed them until they were 11 months old. I'll link up when that post goes live!
Check out this amazing resource for every woman who has, or think she may someday have, babies.
Happy Greening!
