The ultimate assortment of deliciously flavored, handmade cigars has had a complete overhaul. Now hailing from the largest producer of flavored cigars in the world, La Aurora, Cuban Honeys have been reblended and boast new flavors, updated packaging, and that same dessert-like quality…without all the calories. Utilizing all-natural flavors, these tasty, mellow cigars boast Cuban-seed tobaccos from the lushest soils that the Dominican Republic has to offer. Be ready for crowds to congregate once the scent of these affordable sticks hits the air, just make sure to keep a firm grip on these tantalizing treats, or else have plenty of backups.
Cherry: The fan-favorite of the Cuban Honeys line, Cherry is exactly what you would want and expect. Bold black cherry notes coat the palate as soon as flame hits foot. The further you dive into this flavor bomb, subtle notes of sweet caramel enter the fray with a slight hint of cocoa appearing on the finish.
Honey: Naturally flavored with a generous dose of honey. A wonderful balance between slight hints of natural premium tobaccos and enticing notes of sweet honey, this snack is always a welcomed experience.
Vanilla: A scrumptious blend of gentle Bourbon and vanilla extract, this combination is commonly known as Beanilla vanilla. This addition produces hearty notes of vanilla accented by lingering hints of caramel, spices, and a slight nuance of citrus.
NOTE: Cuban Honeys is undergoing a slight packaging change, but the cigars inside the boxes are exactly the same. Product you receive may vary slightly from product pictured as we move through the "older" inventory and into the newest packaging, but either way the cigars are identical.
Really nice taste, both on the tongue and in the smoke.
Sweet and smooth and just the right size for quick after work smoke.
VERY NICE CIGAR FOR THE MONEY.
These little cigars are great! They are sweet and smooth with a good room note.
pretty,pretty,good!my favorite remains c.i.legends by drew estate!!!
Perfect cigar with a good scotch.
Cherry infusion does not overpower the mild leaf, good cigar with after-dinner cordial.
I only smoked one so far. I found it to be smooth and even burning.
flavor was good and long lasting. Construction and wrap led to an uneven burn. Not bad for a daily smoke but, leaves a little to be desired.
Cant be sure what's better. The taste...maybe the smell...or it could be draw. All I know is I am waiting for my next order to arrive! Great relaxing/ anytime smoke!
Great relaxing smoke Will always have a place in my humidor!
Nice taste... pleasant aroma. A good cigar for the price. Only issue I had was one or two were packed too tight - hard to draw and keep lit. All in all, a real surprise find.
Mildly sweet floral flavor good for an afternoon smoke while enjoying a good draft IPA.
They were ok, but not great tatiana are way better.
Mild, good aroma, smoked even.
Mild, good aroma, smoked even. Two of cigars were tight and hard draw!
I've had them before when a friend introduced me to while playing golf, it was a mild very aromatic smoke great for the golf course. All of my friends wanted know what they were..
I give a 4 because I feel everything can be better. I highly recommend these, and will buy them again.
Would not smoke. Don't buy.
Got the cherry and honey these things would not smoke. Kept going out. Could not keep lit.
This cigar was well constructed with a nice burn. Flavor was bitter and inconsistent. Not my cup of.... well..anything.
One of my first picks from my humidor.
Great price, Pass them around to friends and they love them as well.Well done.I will get more.
Bought a 5 pack and 3 out of 5 wouldn't stay lit. The other 2 were dry. Definitely will not buy again.
Were much smaller than expected. Fired up great, very tasty!
A really great short smoke. great flavor and aroma. These have become a favorite.
My Cuban honeys were not as fresh and had a different taste than previous cigars bought at the store on shelf.
Great tasting cigar. Burns evenly and smooth. The flavor is great, everyone loves them.
Very sweet on the lips, but not an overbearing cherry flavor. Plus a pleasant aroma. Not an every day smoke, but a nice treat every once in a while.
It has a natural tasting sweetness as opposed to the chemical sweetness of most infused cigars. The flavors in the description come through subtly. Good construction, plenty of smoke.
I really didn't enjoy these as much as some of my friends do. Although they are well constructed and have a nice burn they were a little tasteless for my liking.
Mild blend, good with after-meal cordials or coffee.
Cherry but not overwhelming, just right!
I purchased the sampler and when I got to the Cherry I had to stop and send a review. This stick has a wonderfully mild flavor, easy draw, and holds a good ash. If you like flavored cigars, you will indeed not be disappointed with good value.
I truly love smoking these cigars. Not much else to say.
Wasn't expecting these to be as good as they are. Tried them on a lark. Good flavor. Good burn. I like all the flavors. Holy Cow I actually said that.
It appears from the website that you're phasing out the Cuban Honeys line. I really like them and I'm sorry to see them go.
Good flavored cigar for the price!
I like most of the Cuban honeys but I am waiting on the drunken truffles flavore. I don't understand why they sell out so fast.
i have read about this flavor and was so anxious to try it but wasn't what i expected. really thought is was going to be flavorful , but it was a little harsh but i'm looking forward to trying the other flavors.Not saying this is a bad cigar but it seemed to hyped and wasn't all.that next up either coffee or vanilla ?
tasty little gar. burns pretty even with a slightly sweet flavor. great for when I don't have a lot of time.
Like these cigars, great with a shot of good whisky.
Great option, for the everyday smoker!
Wonderful Cigar, smooth and nice hint of flavor but not over powering.
This is a smooth cigar with a nice aroma. It is infused with a whiskey-like flavor of Southern Comfort and a mild hint of spice. The smoke was pretty good and burned well. I keep a stock of these!
They were excellent very fresh and favorable. We truly enjoyed them.
BEST HONEY FLAVORED CIGAR ON THE MARKET . AS MILD AS THEY GET . A PLEASURE TO SMOKE .
They where ok , I would buy them again.
Good smooth cigar but it's burn hot times.
These cigars are top notch they deliver a wonderful flavor from beginning to end. I smoked each and every one down to the smallestvnub that I could. My only wish would have been that they were a Churchill size.
I love the sweet hint of cherry - I will purchase again - a BOX next time. Yummie!!!
Very nice flavor. Used these when I couldn't get the JMS Honey Corona. You have to punch these yourself, but well made and easy to punch.
When you smoke a Cuban Honey cigar you'll never smoke another. I love them all. You can't go wrong.
They are a great Cigar!!!
Very good smoke ! Excellent draw and good flavor. The southern gentleman is my favorite so far of the different flavors. It paired very well with some chai tea.
these cigars are a Treat if I ever had one!!! we love them!!!
Great infused, 30 minute cigar. Quality control seems to good--once in a while you'll get a dry one that wants to unravel if you're outdoors. Even burn most of the time. Great flavor but not overpowering.
I order what I like so not much to comment about.
Great cigars,love the taste this is my seco nd order.
Good flavor, easy to light smooth burn. One of my faves.
I'm Smokin one right now and plan to purchase more today.
Cuban Honey does it again.
The Cuban Honey Drunken Truffle is a very nice blend of sweet (but not too much) flavors that remain very mild all the way through the smoke. I tried it for the first time recently and will continue to order it in the future.
love these little sticks with morning coffee.
Cuban Honey are great smokes for the price. They burn evenly, always shipped fresh and taste fantastic.
Smooth with a sweet taste. A quick smoke. So if your pressed for time this is a great choice.
best Cuban Honey selection! The Drunken Truffle goes great with any occasion.
great cigar, a southern classic...wonderful flavor for a summer smoke!
For the times you want to smoke something different. This is a good choice.
Nice mild cigar for a fast everyday smoke. Could be stronger.
Not sure why, but the draw was so tight I could barely smoke it. I've had another Cuban honey and it was very enjoyable. The Dr Kocher had a great flavor but couldn't get passed the super tight draw.
Cuban Honeys are great smokes. Smooth, long lasting and burns evenly. Not to mention great taste and great price.
a relaxing 40 minute cigar for a mild smoker. beats all previous mild cigars I've tried.
Price and smoke matched perfect.
Like the size and taste but last half too hot.
A slightly sweet, mellow cigar. Very enjoyable.
Great smoke great flavor very smooth loved them a lot thanks !!
Never been much on flavored cigars. These Southern Gentlemen are good. Will purchase again.
Very sweet. Maybe a little too.
Good size. Smokes well. A little too sweet to the,taste with the infusion.
For the price, these are fun cigars. I'm not a fan of flavored sticks, but these are pretty good. Good value, and I believe they are naturally flavored.
The cigar is light and has lots of flavor!
Had one and the flavor is there. Just need some more time in humidor an they will be great.
These are so great tasting. Mild, great flavor. Can't wait to get my next delivery...which comes today! Southern Gentleman is soo great! I also LOVE the Drunken Truffles!!
Thank you so much for providing quality cigars at great prices.
Not a bad smoke, but I will not order again.
I am relatively new to Cigars International, and this was my first MMAO purchase. I am thrilled with it!
I wish I could have given it 0 stars! Terrible, worst cigar I've ever puffed. I lit one this morning and the taste was like having a coin your mouth. It burned so crooked cause of the HUGE stem in it and had to keep lighting ever time I wanted a drag. So disappointed and aggravated I through it away half way.
Not bad, but vanilla could be stronger. Good burn so far.
Coffee Corona was outstanding compared to the other flavors and sizes.
I have tried all the flavors in both corona and robusto.I found the coffee to be a five star smoke only in the Corona. The corona is wrapped better than the Robusto and smokes evenly. The other flavors were just mediocre.
I'm very new to cigars, but if they get better than these I think I have found a new hobby... Paired this smoke with a stout crown vanilla and ginger ale, very sweet taste I am indeed pleased.
Nice mild taste & great scent.
I enjoy one of these every morning with a cup of coffee. It's the only way to start my day.
this is the second time i got these not a bad one in the bunch nice and mellow even burn can keep an ash and the draw is ex.
They have a good flavor but the ones I have do not burn well. Have to keep lighting it and it draws hard.
Very tasty cigars. I also like the Cuban Honeys 'Southern Gentleman'. Great service from Cigars International as well.
I enjoy the flavor and slow burning Cuban Honey. It is a good cigar at a great price. This cigar fits my needs as I usually smoke about 1 a day or every other day.
I ordered these because I love infused cigars but these were disappointing. I ordered the drunken truffle and it's decent half way through the cigar then it just has a bad taste the rest of the way. Save your money on these at least the drunken truffle, can not speak for the other flavors as I have not tried them.
I was expecting a more flavorful taste from the cigar. Didn't get the cherry flavor at all from the cigar. The price was great however that may be why they didn't have the great flavor I was looking for.
All I want for Christmas is my Cuban Honeys....and a Good Scotch Whiskey!
Got 'em both and life is good!
I purchased the cigars for my nephews and they absolutely love them!
I love the flavor of most. But every once in a while there is one that doesn't have the same flavor. It's almost all cherry. Which is not exactly bad, but not what I'm paying for. Overall they are great little cigars if you like them flavored.
Really Disappointing. I was hoping for an everyday cuing are, but can't smoke them. Bitter and harsh!
Used to be my favorite cigar years back. Since the change, taste was off, cigar was dry, and draw hindered. Had to return.
Fairly nice smoke when your in the mood for something flavoured.
This was my first foray into flavored cigars. I must say I was pleasantly surprised. These little jewels are great. The flavors of vanilla and bourbon linger on the tongue.
Nice cigar but some of them are poorly wrapped and or run. You pay for what you get.
Though most flavored cigars have low quality tobacco, assuming it won't be noticed because the artificial flavor will mask it, I found this smoke is be the exception. Good mild-medium core with a sweet mellowness imparted by the flavoring that was made even more enjoyable by the reasonable pricetag.
Quick and reliable service. The cigars were really good. Had a get together with the boys and they all wanted more of these cigars. Great price too!!!!
Just tried a couple of these southern gentleman and was disappointed by the lack of flavor. Could barely taste anything other than tobacco. Much prefer the Cao Moontrance cigar.
Tried the Cuban Honeys Coffee infused robusto cigars and thought they were a decent, sweet-tipped smoke. The sticks are smooth and tasty; the only drawback is they are a bit inconsistent. Despite being kept in a humidor, several cigars burned unevenly and were loosely constructed. I like the flavor, I just wish the sticks were better-made.
I tried these once and I was hooked. Shared these with a friend who loved the mild taste and wanted more. We look forward to another purchase soon! We tried the other flavors but we are partial to Southern Gentleman. Very smooth and to our liking!
Excellent Cigars for my humidor and smoking them with style.
Cuban honeys. Good not great !!
I enjoy these babies, they have a smooth mild flavor however; there is no strong hit of cherry. The smoke is decent a with no overpowering after taste. I would enjoy them more if they had more of a hit of flavor as they are flavor infused cigars.
Great cigar. Not heavy, light and great tasting flavor. Definitely added to my favorites.
My wife loves them! Consistently flavorful. Only the best for her!
Very impressed by the flavor, very smooth will be ordering some more soon! A longer size would be also nice for a longer smoke period.
Customer approved. Nice mild cigar.
Maybe I was expecting too much based on previously-purchased Cuban Honeys. I would say these are mild sticks with a tight draw and only a hint of coffee.
I ordered the wrong cigars but the honey is good. Not bad at all.
The Drunken Truffle is a great after dinner cigar. The sweet taste and the smoothness of the tobacco is the basis of this cigar. Will continue to buy this and keep it stocked in my Humidor.
Cigars International delivers and offers the best and freshest cigars. They have supplied all my cigar needs.
This is by far the worst cigar I have ever smoked. I couldn't even finish it. It came in a sampler I had purchased so it wasn't a big lose however. The construction was horrible as the wrapper immediately started coming undone. To smell the cigar it smells great but the flavor was horrible. It tasted like nothing but burnt ash. If I could give this thing zero stars I would that is how bad it is.
By far one of the worst cigars I've ever smoked. Smelt great but was very bitter. Losely rolled, won't be purchasing again. Would give zero stats if possible. Swisher sweets are better then this junk.
One of the worst cigars I have ever had. I tried one and it tasted more like coconut than anything else. Burned great but went hot and dry by the half way point. To be fair, I tried a second. Very loosely rolled and very mushy. Loose draw low smoke. Poor manufacturing and/or quality control. Will not be buying these again.
Great response time. Super price. Pretty darn good cigars.
Love them they are probably one of my favorites along with the southern gentleman, that aroma! I wish they had an air freshener of the Southern Gentleman if they invent it I want partial credit for the idea, lol !!!!
All in all there a good smoke!
As for a flavor cigar there not bad. I would classity them at mild to medium. All in all there a good smoke after getting use to them.
They are great. Just awesome.
Very Good Smoke. Where are my Bandido's they have been on B/O for ever.
Well made, flavor acceptable, and the best part is they are delivered fresh.
I wish this was an air Freshener!
These cigars are mild and the aroma is spectatuler . A great cigar overall.
I love the Cuban honey's. I was introduced to them and liked them very much. I will always keep some in the humidor.
One of the better smokes out there. The corona southern gentleman is perfect for a golf outing or a night on the porch. Either way you won't be disappointed!
They are one of the best cigars I have ever had just the right sweetness to a mild cigar. I am currently waiting on more to arrive!!! Along with the southern gentleman and more!!! I will be looking for deals on these cuban honeys!
What a "Sit on your porch - enjoying a fine Spring day" kind of SMOKE!
I dont smoke them but my stepdad does and he loves them. They are his favorite and all he smokes.
I have bought these Cuban Honeys many times before and something was different about these. Different packaging..different type smoke from before...I don't know what it is. Have smokes half the box and had 2 that just split wide open after lighting so not sure what's up with the that. I may buy these again but may look at something else but it is a decent smoke.
Great smoke to have your morning coffee and the price not to bad.
A pretty good tasting smoke but burns unevenly. Had to Cut and relight a few times.
They were okay. Nothing overly exiting about them. Not saying they were bad, just was expecting more flavor.
Not the best but no the worse cigar. Flavor was OK. The wrapper is thin and veiny. The burn was uneven. I will not buy these. I was lucky enough to try this in a infused sampler.
Cigars International (C.I.) is a great place for cigars and accessories. C.I. has a large selection of cigars, great prices, good quality cigars, fast shipping and occasional free accessories with purchase. C.I. has an organized website that's easy to navigate through to find your favorite cigars. C.I.'s website is user friendly to search, select and purchase your favorite products. C.I. Is my #1 Internet site for my cigars!
I am a novice smoker, but these are a nice and smooth smoke. Definitely will buy more.
That's an AWESOME cigar. Very nice blend & goes well with a good Whiskey.
Thought the selection and pricing were very good.
Very smooth. Taste is not over powering. Great flavor.
I definitelywould never qualify as a cigar aficionado as most of my smokes are either machine made or flavor infused. I leave the big boy cigars to the professionals. I did step out a tad and ordered the Cuban Honeys this time around. I was pleasantly surprised as it was very mild while having a little more punch than my normal purchases. I will definitely order more as they are a pleasant diversion from my normal knocking around the shop selections.
Normally I like Toros and don't like "flavored" cigars but I was pleasantly surprised with these Coronas.Had good draw and didn't overwhelm with the "flavored" part-Nice change of pace. .I'd buy again for times when don't have long time to smoke.
My wife and her friends love them. Used to enjoy the double corona and now found these Petite version to be enjoyable.
You get what you pay for here. Kinda tastes like coffee, is harsh, and burns hot. Sticking with Java and Tabak.
I'll burn one of these bad boys and I don't have time for a full smoke. I've had better but these are a great smoke for the price.
Lost flavor after the first 1/3 burn.
These cigars were the best flavored cigars I had until lately. About 2 years ago, these cigars were my favorite to buy. I've ordered 2 different types and neither have had the flavor of two years ago. The constrution is OK, but the flavors are not there. The honeys were full of flavor then, but now they have no flavor, expensive and not worth the money! Sorry to say, buy some other flavored cigar!
I like a good infused cigar, this is allll smell. The taste is rancid, like its very stale and musty newspaper. Buy something else.
Tried two of 24 and would be embarrassed to give the other 22 away. Bitter, nasty flavor, bad burn, hot and actually stink. Don't throw away your money.
They are barely flavorful and the fillers aren't so the flavor my wife likes with other brands such as acids, and CAO is lacking.
By far the worst cigar I have tried. Do not waste your money, I tried a sampler pack of 7 (1 each flavor) tried 2 and threw the others away.
Great selection, prices and reviews are really helpful.
In the past,they were my favorite...not anymore.The disappointment was considerable.
I got these in a trade with a friend. I just had the enjoyment of smoking the coffee. Wow what a great flavorful well made stick. You get the coffee flavors right from the start before it's even lite. This cigar may take the place of Java. The flavor is more balanced. That and a whole lot cheaper on the pocket and they last longer.
Honey robusto has a pleasant smell and the flavor is light.
Disappointed , was not the sweet vanilla taste I was expecting a stronger aroma as well.
I think Cuban Honeys are still the best flavored cigar out there, but the old ones were still a little better than the new more expensive ones.
What can I say about Cuban Honeys Robusto- Coffee? Let's start by mentioning the little sweetness like sugar off the first light and all the way through that mixes with the the delicious taste of coffee infusion. A gem of delight in every sip.... I mean puff. Smooth. Creamy. Delicious. CHAA....Cuban Honeys Are Awesome!!!!!!
Awesome flavor! Enjoyed the Southern Gentleman the most! Nice even burn.
great service...great cigars. I will purchase more!
Great taste and a smooth flavor!
I thought I would try something different. These burnt like leaves off a tree. Fast, uneven and hot. I would NOT recommend these to any one.
The smell is great, just like the soda, but it seems like a good smell on a not so good cigar. For me at least, they were harsh tasting and not very pleasant. Looking for a new flavored to add to the mix.
i really wanted to like these, but it seems to be a great flavor on a not-so-great cigar.
These new Cuban Honeys are good cigars, but the old ones had more vanilla flavor.
First let me start by saying that I'm not a fan of infused cigars. That being said, I thought I'd try these because I was at a Mardi Gras parade this year and I decided to light up a stogie as the parades passed. Boy, I was not a fan favorite. Everyone was telling me how bad my cigar smelled. So I decided to try the Cuban Honeys. Something I could smoke when in a crowd of non-cigar smokers. I was out at my community swimming pool with my cousin and we lit up the cherry and vanilla flavored. Man this was a good choice. Even though the cigar is mild, it's very tasty. And the AROMA! Off the Chain! The smoke didn't bother anyone. Kids were saying, "I smell fruit". I really enjoyed this one. They are good enough to invest in a couple of boxes.
I'm reviewing the Cuban Honeys Vanilla Petit Corona. Unlit initial impression was favorable; the cigars seemed well constructed and had good aroma. When lit, burn was consistent and draw was good. They seemed to burn a bit hot, but from my limited experience, that is somewhat typical of short smoke like a petit corona. Tobacco flavor was quite mild, but I was somewhat disappointed in the amount of vanilla flavor. If you like lots of vanilla flavor you too may be disappointed in these and there are better choices out there for not much more money, such as CAO Bella Vanilla or Tatiana Vanilla. Overall impression: a decent smoke considering the price but probably not something I will buy again. Happy smokin'!
Absolutely delish!! Pairs wonderfully with a glass of JD Honey...will keep these in the rotation for sure!!
Not as good as old style. Even milder than old and less vanilla flavor. Still the best flavored cigar I have found.
I had the Dr. Kocher and Drunken Truffle. I didn't like the taste of these but my buddy did. I smoke Diesel shorty and he smokes the Acid brands. I didn't get the taste I was expecting, but they do smell spot on like Chocolate and Dr. Pep....Kocher. Based on my buddy's review, I'd say if you like these types of cigars then you won't be let down.
Delicious flavor and a very good cigar. These cigars have a good balance in flavor. A really great aroma, too.
These Cuban Honeys are good. Decent Flavor. Nice smoke for the price.

Q: PFSense DHCP Server doesn't work with RHEL 6 machines I have a DHCP Server working on PFSense 2.4.4. While it works perfectly with RHEL 7/CentOS 7 machines, it doesn't work on RHEL6/CentOS 6 (both with fixed IP or dynamic range).
This is what DHCP Server Logs show (IP and MAC are obfuscated):

Any help is appreciated.

Interview mit Life-Coach Natalie Benhayon - the commited one
© Steffi Henn
At age 21, Natalie Benhayon launched her own self-care and cycles tracking App before moving on to found a global social enterprise for women's health, an international women's magazine, women's self-development workshops, a therapy movement for women and a festival that celebrates the transition of girls to womanhood. These initiatives are only one aspect of Natalie's dedication to a purposeful life. This year, she commenced a degree in law borne out of her concern about the epidemic of cyberabuse and the harm it does to young people and, in fact, the damage it causes to all segments of our commu- nities. For more than ten years, Natalie Benhayon has presented to international audiences. She is acknowledged for her integrity and commitment to the wellbeing of all and equally renowned as a therapist in her daily practice. Natalie is the epitome of an ancient wisdom in a modern woman, and reminds us all of what is possible when we access and live our true potential.
What is the essence of your "Livingness" program?
The essence of "The Livingness" is based on living your life in a way where you are not the absorber of its demands, ideals, beliefs and pressures, but rather manage to hold steady to who you really are and bring that out to meet the world and all that it brings to you. In a world where we have lowered standards of what it means to live truly well, physically, mentally and emotionally, and with much of our ill-health attributed to lifestyle-related choices, this is an important understanding that we can each personally review. Do we live by the inner essence of who we know ourselves to be, bringing to life our inner fire, vitality and loving nature? Or do we live by what society has molded us to be: the protections, drive and need to be accepted, all at the expense of our body's health?
What factors motivate people to come to your workshops?
In my line of work, I meet many people of different ages and nationalities, but we are fundamentally all experiencing the same intensity – with life and all its demands to conform to something that is not natural to our true essence. Some may be looking for deeper answers for how to attain this true essence and others for support when the intensity has impacted their health and well-being. "The Livingness" supports the very practical daily steps of how to apply our true essence to life, as despite the intensities, running away is not the answer – we need to be fully engaged in life and bring back a standard of decency, respect and love to our self-care, relationships and careers.
How could actors benefit from your method in their everyday work?
The profession of acting comes with very demanding pressures; to perform, be the best, work long hours, and often this means people find ways to "best manage" those pressures by seeking to alleviate the stress using means that can lead to unhealthy habits. "The Livingness" offers a foundational approach to self-care that can be used to handle the sometimes extreme workloads and pressures of performance, with a balance of greater vitality that is based on a deeper knowing of who they are in what they do and not becoming lost in any role. This may seem counter to the notion of immersing yourself in a role, but it is actually the opposite since you are fully with the role but not "lost" in the role. A critical difference.
Do you have any tips how they could implement the ideas during castings?
Try less! Working yourself up to be so in need or attached to landing a part can be very counter-productive to giving your casting your true best. Your true best is your natural best, which is supported by your day-to-day livingness, both taking care of yourself and self-expression, equally, in all parts of your life. The key is to know you delivered your natural self for a part, the result is then less impactful on your self-esteem and ability to continue in the business, irrespective of gaining the role or not.
How do you resolve conflicts?
People often say that communication is everything to resolve a conflict, or suggest that it is best to avoid conflicts in the first place. Certainly this is true and useful to a point, but if we are not prepared to be open in and from our body, and if we are not prepared to connect deeply and understand each other, then we only put Band-Aids on our conflicts rather than truly resolve them. We need to come to conflicts willing to connect deeply to our "perceived enemy" or "problem" and afford another a true understanding in order to arrive at a truth that leaves us both on an equal standing.
How do you manage an international career and family at the same time?
It is simple for me as I walk all that I talk and present. "The Livingness" allows me to know deeply who I truly am and what is the true purpose of my career and what I bring to people. I am a very dedicated type of person, dedicated to supporting people in their growth, but this is balanced with a daily rhythm of taking true care of my body, not absorbing other's problems, knowing my worth/value, and giving my all in everything that I do. I would say a lot of us hold back "giving our all" and this is one of the greatest pitfalls to knowing what our full potential is in life and how to maximize it.
What motivates you to run an international women's magazine?
The magazine has been such an important project, as it is taking the "real life stories" of women around the world who have very honestly opened up to share their imperfections and the steps they have taken to find evolution and growth in their life. We need more of this in the world, more women sharing, connecting, not being bombarded with how they should be, but reminded of their true power within to make a difference in their life and the lives of others around them.
Do you consider yourself a feminist?
Yes and no, or perhaps not in the typical sense of the label. I feel there is a true feminist in every person, who knows that the honouring of the feminine expression, which is both equal in women and men, is sorely missing in the world and this creates a lot of disharmony and unbalance in our society. We shouldn't allow any act against any gender that makes another less, because when we do that, we are all less.
#MeToo – Do you believe that the fight against sexual abuse of women in the media industry can be won?
Yes I do, and the answer is in the groundswell of every man and woman not accepting abuse. If the mass public, all of us, do not tolerate it, it will expose and squeeze out those in seeming positions of authority that hold control and use it to abuse.
What needs to change for more women to be in powerful positions?
A greater acceptance of what women can bring would be a progressive start. Often women are judged by ideals and beliefs to not be capable in some manner, which puts enormous pressure on women to change their natural ways of leadership, authority and dedication into almost becoming a "robot to the system" just to make it to the top. We need women at the top, but we need those women to lead with the natural qualities that they have – to derive their strengths from an inner wisdom that can lead companies and lead nations into a collaborative, not competitive, unity.
Sexual objectification of women is ubiquitous in mass media.
How can women liberate themselves from it?
We need to speak up and that is just as much about having a voice as it is putting things into action. For example: I refuse to purchase clothing from companies whose advertising campaigns degrade women, which certainly lessens my options at times! There is a way to be classy, elegant and sexy that is not sexually degrading of women – but we all need to demand to see women being treated respectfully and that starts with the day to day of us treating ourselves and the women we know with this same respect. If you don't accept it at home, you won't accept it in the media.
How do you define self-confidence?
In a word – presence. We spend so much time in our day "not being present", thinking about problems, daydreaming, thinking about the past, thinking about the future, what we're going to eat later, where we have to be and so on. Which means our minds are usually off in a million other places than the present moment of what our body is actually doing. This creates a void and missed moment of presence and connection to oneself. It means you don't get to deeply know yourself, your potential and what you deliver. Sometimes we can even completely blank out and not remember completing a task. My solid confidence comes from presence, giving all of my focus and quality of being to the moment in front of me before moving onto the next. In simple terms, I then know it was really me who delivered and can appreciate all that it was, naturally giving me confidence to do it again or expand into greater oppor- tunities.

Reputation, trust and credibility are assets no organization can afford to lose and the surest way to lose them is to lie. Honesty may not always pay, but lying always costs.
RELATIONSHIPS. How important are good relationships to business success?
If you agree that the ability to form and maintain good relationships is a key factor in business (and life) success. Consider this as rule #1. When you have the choice between being right and being kind, choose kindness." – Wayne Dyer And remember you always have the choice!
Business Ethics Insight: People of character do the right thing even if no one else does, not because they think it will change the world, but because they refuse to be changed by the world.

UPDATE: MCX Silver, Mentha oil and Cardamom – All targets done!!!
Yesterday what I said about Silver?
All targets blasted in 1 hour. What else you want huh?
Our subscribers are minting money day by day and what about you huh?
At morning time, our subscribers sold mentha oil @ 1428 and booked profit at 1418. Yesterday without break our Stoploss, menthe oil kissed two times our first target.
Smart traders enjoyed and losers continue watch Pogo!
Yesterday I said about MCX Cardamom and I hope you remember. If don't then take one hammer and hit on your head.
Cardamom touched first target and missed 1 rupee to kiss second target. Today I expect, it'll finish every target.


The Altan Şekerleme candy shop was a frequent and favorite stop during my time as a tour guide for Istanbul Eats' culinary walks, but what happened in the candy-making operation upstairs was always a closely guarded secret. At a recent press event at the Istanbul Culinary Arts Center, however, I finally had the chance to see how those glistening hard candies were made, and to return for a chat with one of the master şekerci (confectioners) carrying on a tradition that dates back, with little change, to Ottoman times.
Read the rest of my article, "Turkish Candy Entices Through the Ages," on Zester Daily.


LeAnn and Brandon are going to have some beautiful kids, of this I am sure. LeAnn is so caring and Brandon is so loving, you can hear it, you can see it and you can feel it. This was still one of the most beautiful wedding venues I have ever shot, the YMCA of the Rockies. I have to admit the Rockies are one of the main things that brought me out here about 7 years ago. My favorite part of this wedding were their vows to each other. Anytime a couple adds a personal touch to the ceremony, it becomes so much more meaningful. LeAnn could barely get her words out, and she had everyone on the edge of their seats waiting for what she was going to say next. You not only hear her words, but you feel them too. Knowing LeAnn and Brandon, It was a perfect place to get married for them. They are mountain kids to the fullest, and they seemed so at home at the top of the peak in Estes Park.


There are not many topics that bear greater importance to business owners than great lead generation. Discovering effective ways of establishing and expanding a network of leads is often critical to the survival of an enterprise. Luckily, the article below has been written in order to provide readers with some valuable strategies.
Tailor your landing pages to your target market. Landing pages tailored to your target audience will be twice as effective as any other pages on your site. That is because your visitors get to see precisely what they wanted to find. Combine this with a lead generating form and you will be building stronger leads.
If people see you as trustworthy, it's easier to generate leads. Don't put ads up that are too bold or that seem cheesy. Use offers that are relevant to your customers and that meet their concerns. Customers will trust you if you're honest.
Privacy issues need to be dealt with immediately. Make certain you are aware of the leads that have chosen not to receive incentives or other offers. It's a waste to send things those to people that aren't buying, but also those that want some privacy.
The phone is a great way to find out about potential new markets for your product or service. It's amazing how many people will actually want to hear your sales pitch. No matter the item, you are sure to find someone in need of it.
Look for people in your local community that are involved with lead groups. These are groups made up of different business owners that share leads with each other. You might wonder how unrelated businesses can result in leads for your endeavor, but the truth is actually quite surprising. Meantime, a client of your may complain about their toothache, so you can returnt he favor.
Take advantage of whatever any lead groups you find online can offer. For local businesses, such groups can be extremely valuable. You can exchange contact information with like-minded folks and set up some type of referral system.
Target your market. Broad spectrum leads can help get your name out in the community. Tailoring your campaign to targeted customers based on key information is definitely going to show improved results.
Talk to the other people as you are waiting in a line. It doesn't hurt to be friendly, and you may find someone who is looking for exactly what you are selling. Don't run away from them, continue your sales pitch to feel them out, because they might still be interested in what you have to offer.
Seek out subscriptions for your blog. Subscriptions allow your readers and potential clients to stay updated with your content, products, and services through regular reminders. This will always serve as a simple lead generator based around your customer base. Blogging is useful for lead generation in multiple ways.
Readers that want to build a business that does well in any economy need to learn what they can about lead generation. If you don't have the ability to generate new leads, then the future of your business is going to be uncertain. Learning about lead generation and the importance of continuous business during tough market times can help any business succeed.


I've discovered another reason that cargo bikes are awesome. I'll call it the sag wagon effect. Let me explain. Linnaeus only started riding his bike without training wheels in March, then riding home from school in April. Three months later, he's riding all over the place, sometimes almost 20km in a day.
Because we have cargo bikes--the Bakfiets can carry both kids & his bike in the box, the Yuba can tow his bike while he rides on the deck--Linnaeus has the opportunity to ride whenever he wants to, but doesn't have to ride the whole way if he gets tired. There's no pressure like there might be if we had no way to carry him & his bike home. If we didn't have a way to tote him & his bike, we probably wouldn't let him bring his bike on the longer rides that we do, so he'd get fewer chances to ride.
A good example of the sag wagon effect is last Thursday's Vancouver Family Biking Pyjama Ride. Linny set out with us on his bike to meet up with the crew at Science World, then rode to Stanley Park. On the way home, he rode from Stanley Park past Science World before getting too tired. That's about 18km total. So we popped his bike into the bakfiets & he rode on the deck of the Yuba for the remaining few kilometres home.
The cargo bikes have also made it easy to bring his bike to school so he can ride home in the afternoons--riding to school is mostly uphill, but from school is a great way for him to practise road skills & get stronger. He started asking to ride to school in the last couple of weeks, & he was able to ride nearly all the way, with a half-block walk up the steepest bit.
Riding home from school every day means he's been regularly riding 20km or more a week, not including some of our evening & weekend rides. Pretty good for a little boy who's not even six years old yet!

Q: Why isn't my route loading? I am new to angularjs and for some reason my routes isnt working, when I click on the test link. I have rechecked my code over and over and cant seem to find the problem.
Any help would be really appreciated!
<!DOCTYPE html>

        <meta charset="UTF-8">
        <title>Title</title>

    Test

A: There are couple of things I wanted to point out which you have missed.

*

*You missed to kick off angular on page. You could do it by doing ng-app="myApp" as myApp module you already defined.

*Other thing is, you have to change your href to href="#/test", so that on click of link you will navigate to /test route

A: Define the module name in the view,

Q: Lambda sorting in Python 3 I was working on python2 for my project.Now I want to migrate from python2 to python3. I am getting syntax error while writing the for loop code snippet given below.I'm bit confused where I went wrong.
Code :
for k, val in sorted(datasource_columns.iteritems(), key=lambda(
                            k, v): sort_order.index(k)):
                        # columns.add_column(key, sorted(val))
                        columns.add_column(k, val)

where , sort_order = ['Name', 'Data Type', 'Type', 'Role']

A: As already said, iteritems() will be a problem, but you mention a syntax error, which comes from the lambda declaration with parenthesis:
Change:
key=lambda(k, v): sort_order.index(k)

To:
key=lambda k, v: sort_order.index(k)

But you may as well write this more efficient code:
for key in sort_order:
    val = datasource_columns.get(key)
    if val is not None: # to avoid getting None values in your columns
        columns.add_column(key, val)

In the future, please post the actual stacktrace whenever you get an exception, this makes it a lot easier to understand any issue.

A:     key=lambda k, v: sort_order.index(k)

does not work.
TypeError: () missing 1 required positional argument: v
The needed change for Python 3 would be:

    test_list.sort(key = lambda args : sort_order.index(args[0]))

A: Not sure what changed exactly but lambda (k, v): sort_order.index(k) is invalid syntax in python3. You can use lambda k, v: sort_order.index(k) instead.

Blair Hughes-Stanton, a close friend of D.H. Lawrence, produced engravings for several of his books and shared his contempt for the smug, rich and conventional. While studying at Leon Underwood's unconventional school (1923-1925), life models were instructed to change positions frequently, which emphasised 'form, volume and movement'. Hughes-Stanton's work courted controversy when he began working with D. H. Lawrence shortly after the publication of Lady Chatterley's Lover, 1928, producing a folio volume of his poetry collection entitled Birds, Bees and Flowers. In March 1930 Hughes-Stanton and his wife visited Lawrence in Vence, in the South of France. Lawrence succumbed to tuberculosis shortly afterwards and Hughes-Stanton produced A Man Died in response to Lawrence's own elegy 'A Man Who Died': 'All the lovely macrocosm / Was woman once to you / Bride to your groom / No tree in bloom / But it leaned you a new / White bosom'. The engraving depicts three nude, intertwined couples with the soul of the distinctively-bearded Lawrence himself, looking down at his body as a mob marked 'THE PRESS' stab at his heart and genitals.

German Shorthair Pointer Rescue of New Jersey (GSPRNJ) Eve was used for breeding. Her owner dropped her off at the shelter when she was 8 however our vet believes that there was no way she was 8 more like 10, or possibly her life was so difficult her body aged prematurely. She has probably had 100 puppies or so in her lifetime. She had never had a soft surface to lie on. Her hips had atrophy from never being used. Her coat was scratchy and rust colored both from sunlight and poor diet. She was 10 pounds underweight when she cam home and all her teeth are broken, most likely from chewing on her cage to get out.
Eve is afraid of men though she is becoming more brave every day with the people she trusts. Eve can not sit, her body is so not accustomed to sitting upright that she will only attempt it on the couch with a cushion to lean on. It took Eve a year to feel comfortable in our home.

Intern spotlight
Hear from our UNCF interns
Dailyn
"Don't change who you are in order to fit the mold. Be yourself and you will thrive!"
Dailyn is a rising senior at Jackson State University who joined our Corporate Scholars Program in summer 2020. She has a special interest is marketing, so she was thrilled to get so much hands-on experience in our Global Sales Enablement team.
"When people think of interns, there's always this stereotypical idea of filing boring paperwork. That's so not the case at Oracle! Here, they trust interns with important projects and responsibilities, which is ultimately why I chose this company," she explains. "I was really excited to be able to take the lead on a Content Management System project."
While collaboration was a big part of her experience, Dailyn found Oracle's focus on individuality very refreshing. "I enjoyed the creativity aspect of my internship the most," she shares. "My faith is a vital part of who I am, and it adds an exciting dimension to my personality. So don't change who you are to fit the mold. Be yourself and you will thrive!"
Kherington
"You are confined only by the walls you build yourself."
Kherington, a 2020 graduate from the University of Georgia, joined the Oracle Scholar Program as a software development intern. Having graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in cognitive science, with his primary focus in computer science and psychology, Kherington plans to use his technical knowledge to find solutions to the world's most pressing problems.
"I live my life one day at a time," he explains, "while always attempting to push myself out of my comfort zone, because it's difficult to grow when you're comfortable—and it makes the growth process that much more valuable and interesting."
His major project this summer has been developing a new APEX web app that can serve as a one-stop-shop for Oracle's diversity and inclusion employee resource groups. "It's been such a fun challenge learning a whole new software to complete a project. Especially since it will have such a big impact on the diverse communities at Oracle, even following my internship."
"I've had a one-of-a-kind internship experience that has exceeded all my expectations!"
Marissa is pursuing a degree in corporate communications with a minor in business at the University of Texas, Austin. She joined our PR team this summer as a corporate marketing intern.
Marissa was originally studying psychology but became inspired to change her major when she noticed a shift towards diversity in marketing campaigns. An active member of several organizations which focus on supporting underrepresented communities on campus, she became particularly interested in how she could help change the narrative within the technology realm; a field where people and women of color are notably underrepresented. This is what drew her to the Oracle Corporate Scholars Program.
"Oracle's marketing team has truly given me a one-of-a-kind internship experience that has exceeded all of my expectations for what a virtual internship could be," she enthuses. "I've learned so much already. I still have plenty of learning to do, but now I have a solid foundation and an amazing team to guide me."
What are you waiting for? Start your future at Oracle today.

On-Set Photos of Jennifer Lopez and Constance Wu as Badass Strippers Are My Forever Mood
By Katherine J Igoe
James DevaneyGetty Images
As a part of their new movie, Hustlers, about strippers who turn the tables on their wealthy clients, Jennifer Lopez and Constance Wu were spotted at the Palisades Center in costume.
In a word, they are spectacular, and bode well for the film being a mix of empowerment and humor.
Constance Wu, in particular, is making waves as she helps Hollywood to increase inclusion and equality.
Hustlers, which is apparently based on a real-life story of strippers who (as the title implies) hustled their wealthy clients, stars Jennifer Lopez, Constance Wu, and Cardi B. It just started filming, and photographers were able to capture on-set snaps as Constance and J. Lo went to the Palisades Center in Rockland to shoot some scenes on Tuesday. Just yesterday, we also got some on-set shots of J. Lo getting out of her trailer. And they are EXCEPTIONAL and it makes me love both actresses even more.
The film will also star 10 Things I Hate About You star Julia Stiles, Riverdale's Lili Reinhart, and Nickelodeon's Keke Palmer. According to J. Lo and the creators, it's meant to be super-empowering and badass, which makes the casting all the more incredible.
J. Lo brought her new fiance Alex Rodriguez and their kids with them to the Palisades, where they smiled and waved at fans. No sign yet of Cardi B. (who has been honest about her previous work as a stripper IRL). But judging by how edgy/cool she is with her fashion every day, I expect nothing short of a spectacular lewk, complete with the most incredible wig.
I mean, just look at the amazingness:
Raymond Hall Getty Images
These were the on-set photos. A Juicy tee! I love it. And LOOK AT those shoes—how does she even walk in them? Also: Is that a lip ring I see??
J. Lo, your arms are incredible.
Adrian EdwardsGetty Images
Constance, what did they do to your beautiful beautiful eyebrows?? And that WIG with those BANGS. 😱 Maybe they're setting the stage for a grand makeover scene??
Although I must admit, it looks like they're having insane fun. Yes I will watch this movie. No, I am not embarrassed about it. Take my money now please.

How heat pumps can cut carbon pollution from buildings
Contributed by Sarah Kennedy, ChavoBart Digital Media.
Posted on Yale Climate Connections
"These new cold climate air source heat pumps are functional down to -10, -15 degrees," [Chris Carrick with the Central New York Regional Planning and Development Board] says. And they run on electricity, so they generate heat without burning oil, natural gas or other fuels on site. According to a report by the nonprofit Rocky Mountain Institute, switching to heat pumps could dramatically reduce the carbon pollution caused by home heating. They have the most impact in places with renewable electricity. Read more here.

Nebraska gains as wind power grows
Article contributed by David Bracht, Director of the Nebraska
Energy Office from 2015 to 2018, The Grand Island Independent
Clean and affordable wind energy is powering homes and fueling economic growth. In 2018, no other state grew its wind energy capacity faster than Nebraska, and in 2019 no state is better positioned than Nebraska to reap the benefits associated with this important renewable energy resource. In past generations, states with significant fossil fuel resources – namely coal and oil –could count on jobs, tax revenue, and opportunity as those resources were developed. While not devoid of traditional energy resources, Nebraska has never topped the list of fossil fuel states. But we are at the top when it comes to wind – and that has major positive implications for our future. Continue reading here.

Facebook's Nebraska reach expands
By Jason Kuiper, The Wire, OPPD Blog
Facebook announced today their Nebraska data center will be three times the size of its original announcement. The Papillion data center will be six buildings instead of two with groundbreaking set to begin in May on the additional buildings. Facebook announced last April their plan to build its next data center here and credited the development of OPPD's Rate 261M as one of the biggest draws. Read the entire blog post.
Facebook's Press Release: Papillion Data Center Expanding to Six Buildings
Author: Jim Piazza, Director of Data Center Operations, East. Last year, we worked with Omaha Public Power District to create a new renewable energy tariff that ensures we can power our data center with clean and renewable energy. With the tariff in place, we could seek new, in-state wind projects, which we found in Enel Green Power's Rattlesnake Creek Wind Project. We will now increase our purchase from 200 MW to 320 MW to support our growth, and we are excited to share that we have partnered with Adobe to help them enter the U.S. renewable energy market with Enel; 10 MW of Rattlesnake Creek will be allocated to Adobe.
Enel sells energy from new US wind farm to Facebook and Adobe, Enel Press Release
The new deal between Enel and Facebook widens the scope of the bundled, long-term power purchase agreement for 200 MW signed in November 2017 to gradually include the plant's overall output by 2029, following Facebook's decision to significantly expand its data centre in Papillion, around 120 miles from Rattlesnake Creek. The energy produced by the entire wind farm will enable the expanded data centre to be 100% renewable-powered.
"Powering our data centers with 100% clean and renewable energy is not just a goal for Facebook, it is a requirement of our business," said Bobby Hollis, Director of Global Energy at Facebook. "The Rattlesnake Creek wind farm will enable us to power our future Papillion Data Center, and fulfills our passion to expand the energy market for other corporate buyers, like Adobe."
The expansion increases Facebook's total investment in the Papillion Data Center to $1 billion.

Nebraska Supreme Court orders NPPD to open its books, disclose costs
By Paul Hammel, Omaha World-Herald
LINCOLN — The Nebraska Supreme Court ruled Friday that the Nebraska Public Power District must open its books and disclose specific cost information, including the expense of generating electricity from its individual power plants . . . A private company that seeks to compete with NPPD, Lincoln-based energy firm Aksamit Resource Management, had filed a lawsuit seeking the information from the public power firm. Aksamit argued that the information was public and that it would help the firm and Nebraska ratepayers better understand why NPPD's costs were rising. Without the detailed information, the firm argued, the public could not determine why NPPD's costs had risen. Read more here.

RECOMMENDED BACKGROUND READING
In search of cleaner energy, some Nebraska cities turn away from utility, by Karen Uhlenhuth, Midwest Energy News, March 6, 2017. At least 10 municipal utilities in Nebraska have chosen to stop or cut back on buying their power from the Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD), in search of lower prices and greater access to renewable energy.
In this article, Uhlenhuth explores the question of whether Nebraska might get more renewable energy if retail competition were available:
Clean energy advocates skeptical, cautious about retail choice bills in Nebraska and Kansas
Midwest Energy News, February 28, 2017
Despite the widespread outcry against the current attempt to bring retail competition to Nebraska, [Michael Matherson, a partner and spokesman for Aksamit] observed that Nebraska's three major public power districts voluntarily entered into a competitive marketplace when they chose to begin buying and selling power through the Southwest Power Pool in 2009. Nebraska's public power districts lost more of their monopoly power a year ago when the legislature passed a law terminating the districts' prerogative to take control of any renewable-energy source developed by a private entity.

Der Daihatsu Boon Luminas war ein kleiner Minivan auf Basis des Daihatsu Boon II.
Nach einer Pause von fast 4 Jahren bekam damit der Daihatsu Atrai 7 einen Nachfolger.
Daihatsu produzierte auch ein Schwestermodell für die Konzernmutter Toyota, den Toyota Passo Sette.

Weil Frauen die Hauptzielgruppe als Käufer waren, wurde Wert auf einfache Bedienung des Fahrzeugs gelegt. Produziert wurden die Modelle in der Daihatsu Kyōto-Fabrik. Darüber hinaus stellte Perodua
ein baugleiches Fahrzeug als Perodua Alza her, daher war Perodua auch in der Entwicklung der Modellreihe miteinbezogen.

Im Dezember 2008 war der Verkaufsstart des Boon Luminas in Japan. Das monatliche Absatzziel wurde mit 500 Einheiten bekannt gegeben. Gegenüber dem Boon wuchs die Höhe um 20 mm, die Breite um 85 mm und die Länge um 580 mm. Dadurch konnten nun sieben Erwachsene genügend Platz im Fahrzeug finden. Während in der zweiten Reihe 2 Sitze vorhanden waren, gab es in der dritten Reihe eine Dreiersitzbank. Diese war im Boden versenkbar und die Sitze in der 2. Reihe konnten umgeklappt werden. Da der Luminas erheblich schwerer war als der Boon erhielt er auch einen größeren Motor.
Hierbei handelte es sich um den Daihatsu 3SZ-VE Typ 1.5L DOHC Vierzylinder-Ottomotor mit einer Leistung von 80 kW (109 PS) bei 6000/min und einem maximalen Drehmoment von 141 Nm bei 4400/min. Seine Kraft wurde mittels 4-Stufen Automatikgetriebe grundsätzlich an die Vorderräder übertragen. Optional war auch Allradantrieb erhältlich. Das Getriebe war in der Mittelkonsole angesiedelt.
Als Standardausstattung waren Frontairbags, Antiblockiersystem mit Bremsassistent und Elektronische Bremskraftverteilung verbaut. Zusätzlich konnte das Elektronische Stabilitätsprogramm VSC sowie Seitenairbags, Kopfairbags und Knieairbags geordert werden.
Beim Toyota Passo Sette waren neben einem CD-Radio, Seiten- und Kopfairbags serienmäßig verbaut.
Jedoch war dieser gut 20 % teurer.
Angeboten wurden beide Modelle mit wenigen Ausnahmen ausschließlich im Heimatmarkt.
Im Februar 2012 endete die Produktion der Daihatsu und Toyota Modelle.

Der Perodua Alza wird noch gebaut.
Er unterscheidet sich durch eine einfachere Materialausstattung, zudem gibt es lediglich Frontairbags und ABS mit Bremsassistent serienmäßig. Er wird mit einem 5-Gang-Schaltgetriebe geliefert und hat das Automatikgetriebe nur als Option.
