Dear reader,

It is with great pleasure that I present to you the newest version of the UriosMagazine: Curious! After a calm period, the Urios magazine is back in full

swing and has even undergone a small face-lift. Our highly motivatedMagazine Committee is ready for the year to come, and I am certain they

will produce educative and at the same time highly entertaining issues.

The theme of this edition is New Beginnings. While most of you willprobably be thinking about their 2016 resolutions ranging from finallyrunning that half marathon, travelling to India for a spiritual journey or

simply eating more veggies at dinner we secretly all know that 2016 wontbe much different from the year before when it comes to sticking to those

well meant but often improbable initiatives to change our lives for the better.So lets approach things a bit differently and think of 2016 as the start of

another year to be filled with interesting encounters, exciting challenges andtime spent with new and old friends. We all know too well that it will also be

filled with rainy bike rides, nights spent at the library and long days at work but perhaps, for now, lets pretend like that wont be the case so we can stillenjoy the beautiful feeling of a new beginning. I hope you will all start thenew year with the intention to make it a very good one. On behalf of the

Urios board and Magazine Committee I would like to wish all a wonderful,exciting and loving 2016! Enjoy the brand new edition of Curious.
