Help! I am in search of a Gloria that is or can easily be made bi-lingual for Spanish/English. I would prefer to use Latin. Unfortunately, we do not have enough time to teach a Latin Gloria before our upcoming Holy Days of Obligation.
Could someone please suggest commonly know Marian hymns that can be sung in Spanish/English? I am running into some hymns that I would assume everyone would know (like Hail, Holy Queen) are not as well known (with Hispanics) depending on what people were exposed to. Here again, Latin (with the exception of O Sanctissima) is a good option, but due to time constraints, other hymns would be better.
Quiero decir que si is also excellent.
I think Fr Krisman may have translated Como estrella en claro cielo, which is wonderful.
we do not have enough time to teach a Latin Gloria before our upcoming Holy Days of Obligation.
"learn Gloria in Latin" versus "learn Gloria in English-and-Espanol"?
then you have three weekends to acquiaint people in the pews.
then you have eight weekends.
and you sing different Latin phrases to them.
I second "Como Estrella en Claro Cielo," though I don't think it's commonly known. Also, "Immaculate Mary" and "Del Cielo Ha Bajado" have the same melody, except with a slightly different rhythm on the refrain.
The English text for "Santa Maria del Camino" is bad. I wouldn't use it.
Honestly, I am not a fan of bilingual Masses when they're not necessary -- Thanksgiving and the Triduum are about the only days I can think of offhand where, under normal circumstances, you pretty much have to go bilingual. My experience has been that if a pastor tries to force all-bilingual Masses at other times of the year, people just meander to another parish that will have the Mass in their chosen language. To wit: at a parish I still play Spanish Mass for, the pastor insists on bilingual Christmas Masses. It's the only parish (of 8) in the city whose attendance goes DOWN at Christmas.
Thank you for the kind suggestions so far.
Gloria in Spanish and English.
See this video for an introduction to singing this particular chant tune.
Choir or Cantor/s sing the first line, congregation answers with the second, third line Choir or Cantor/s, last line Congregation.
This speeds up the learning, lets the Choir or Cantor/s set the tempo and keep it going.
Eventually, Choir or Cantor/s can intone first line then all sig the entire Gloria.
Please, anyone using this Gloria in any language, I'd like to hear from you.
EDITED - Both Spanish and English Versions PDF below.
I would suggest that it would be invaluable to purchase a copy of the GIA hymnal—Oremus Cantando—as every entry is presented in both English and Spanish. Very helpful for bilingual liturgies.
Marc's right, everyone should buy at least one copy for reference.
Fr. Krisman's excellent work is worth having on the shelf of every Catholic musician.
Thank you for Gloria suggestion. Is there another page or version with both languages? The one attached is just in Spanish.

Cagbalete island is located off the shores of Mauban Quezon. It is one of the most visited island destinations near Metro Manila that offers nice white sandy beaches with clear waters, awesome sunset view and wondrous sights. With its proximity from Metro Manila, it is a popular destination among travelers and city dwellers wanting to have a quiet escape away from the big city.
It's my first time to visit Cagbalete Island last August 2015 through the invitation of my friend Karl of Turista Trails.
We stayed at Doña Choleng's Camping Resort which offers nice and affordable island accommodations with architecture that perfectly blends with nature.
Our room accommodation is named Casa Mikhail Suite located just near the reception area. The room's interiors exude a simple island ambiance coupled with 2 double beds made of bamboo. It has comfortable foam mattresses complemented with clean sheets and pillows.
Though our room is very basic, it is is clean and well organized. Basic amenities inside the room includes an en suite toilet and bath, an air-conditioning unit, a small living/dining area and a wall fan.
The toilet and bath is very spacious! It has a water closet, a shower, sink with mirror and a bath tub!
With all these amenities, every guest will certainly have an awesome and comfortable stay!
After settling our things inside the room, we quickly checked on the amenities and facilities they offer. They have a spacious hall, a restaurant and a wide selection of accommodations such as Bali Huts, Cottages, Nipa Huts and a camping area where you could pitch a tent for that ultimate island experience.
And then we went to the nearby Bonsai islet where we had an awesome swim at the natural mini pool areas.
Bonsai islet is a vanishing islet that can only be seen during low tide. Be sure to plan your visit to the islet ahead of time.
We went back to the resort and just spent our time at the beach while waiting for the sunset.
An awesome sunset can be seen by walking along the shore for about 1 kilometer to the right side of the resort. Our group went there several minutes before sunset for us to fully enjoy the sight.
I truly enjoyed the magical view of the sunset. As the sun drowned in the horizon, its rays fill the sky with radiant and fiery colors. I was mesmerized as the sun slowly disappeared in the horizon, it's like a painting done right in front of me.
Just enjoying today's #sunset from #Cagbalete #Island in #Mauban #Quezon ❤❤❤ #Lovely!!!
We then went back to the resort, just in time for dinner. Their restaurant, Sylvia's Kamayan Restaurant serves an array of dishes that guests can savor. Here's a copy of their menu (click to enlarge).
The following morning, we woke up early to catch the sunrise just in front of the resort. It was such a blessing to wake up to a new day.
The whole morning on our second day at Doña Choleng Camping Resort was spent just seeing things around the resort and enjoying the beach.
We also got to check on the many activities they offer. This is one of the things I love about Doña Choleng Camping Resort. They offer a wide array of activities such as snorkeling, kayaking and island hopping which makes them an ideal place for company outings and team building activities. Definitely, you will never get bored when staying inside the resort.
The resort is powered by a generator that runs from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM during non-peak season and a water pump for washing and bathing. During peak season such as summer, electricity is available from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM and from 6:00 PM to 7:00 AM.
The resort doesn't have WIFI internet connection. But don't worry, if you need to connect to the internet, 3G signal is available at the beach front and in some areas inside the resort. 3G connection is a bit slow but it's good enough for posting some photos on social media accounts and replying to emails.
Entrance fee is Php 50.00 per head.
Entrance fee for Camping Tent is Php 100.00 per head.
Rent Space costs Php 250.00 per tent.
The resort offers a food package for Php 800 per head which includes 3 meals and 2 snacks.
The resort can also arrange transfer boats from Cagbalete Sabang port to the resort or from Mauban port going directly to the resort.
You may check their website at www.donacholeng.com for the updated room rates. They offer several rooms types that cater to the diverse need of its valued guests. Occupancy is dependent on the room type. Standard check-in time is at 2:00 PM and check-out time is 12:00 NN.
Overall, we had an awesome and memorable stay at Doña Choleng Camping Resort. I just love the peaceful and serene ambiance that the resort offers. We had so much fun and I can't wait to visit it Cagbalete island again!
Note: Doña Choleng Camping Resort hosted our overnight stay on Cagbalete Island. Thank you for having us! We truly enjoyed our stay!
Hi. Can you go around the whole island in a day? Thank you.

Thanks for the ping! It is un-spammified!
You're welcome! It's very odd that correcting typos would cause it to be flagged as spam. We'll keep an eye on this.

I met Shane the day he walked in for his photoshoot. I was so impressed by how prepared he was for the experience, especially given the lack of resources I had provided. He brought several suit and tie options that fit his personal brand and business goals. He had a fresh haircut and neatly trimmed beard.
On top of being organized, he knew exactly what he was looking for in a successful photo, and together, we achieved his goals. When I started designing a Men's Style Guide, I knew Shane was the best choice for advising on men's fashion. The following pages are filled with great advice, not only on how to prepare for your headshots, but useful knowledge on where to get started in the wide world of men's styling. Happy reading!
Regardless of your profession, you need to look like you're the best at what you do, whether it's a server at a restaurant or the CEO of a Fortune 500 company. For some, that simply means clean clothes that fit well and are in line with the dress code of your employer. For others, that means a suit and tie, and for a broad swath of people, it's somewhere in between.
In the coming paragraphs, I'll share a few key items every man should have in their closet, some grooming and tailoring tips, and finally, what you should wear to a headshot session with Whitney. Let's get started!
Navy suits are a great alternative to traditional black and are perfect for everything from job interviews to dates. Bonus: It's versatile enough, you can wear the jacket as a sportcoat or the pants without the jacket.
You need one perfect dress shirt to go with your perfectly tailored navy suit. If you're of average build, always get a slim fit shirt. I buy most of my dress shirts online from Charles Thywhitt – great prices, quality and fit.
You can buy the same shoe in different colors. Brown will go with your navy suit and the black are more formal. This is an opportunity to invest, as well-made shoes can be repaired and last decades. I suggest leather soles and sticking to a classic style like a cap toe or wing tip.
Dark denim looks great with sneakers or dress shoes, t-shirts or dress shirts, cardigans or sport coats. I prefer J. Crew's or Levi's 513 jeans – good quality, great fit, and they're not $300.
If you're wearing a dress shirt without a tie or a polo shirt, select a v-neck tee. The sleeves should hit your mid-bicep – if they don't, it will affect the fit of your shirt.
A white pocket square is conservative and simple, but also shows that you pay attention to the details. YouTube has great tutorials showing how to fold it in a square.
A grey tie goes with everything from your suit to your jeans; it works for weddings and job interviews or on a first date with your white button down and dark jeans.
A gray polo shirt is the short sleeve version of the white button-down shirt – it goes with everything. You can dress down your navy suit or wear it to Sunday brunch. Try to find one without logos and try numerous brands on until you find one that fits perfectly. A good fitting shirt hits mid-bicep and if you wear it untucked, it should hit just below your belt.
Jack Purcell was a badminton star who had his own converse sneakers, which looked similar to the ubiquitous Converse All-Stars. The difference is the "smile" on the toe of the shoe. These sneakers are simple and incredibly comfortable. The colors are fairly subdued, so you can get them in navy, white, and grey. I like white or grey, as they provide a nice contrast to the jeans or the navy suit.
You can wear a cardigans like a coat in the spring and the fall. It's like a sweatshirt, but dressy; if you get hot, it's easy to take off. It's also a great substitute for a sport coat.
Invest in tailoring. I can't emphasize this enough. It will make your investment in the suit and shirts that much more valuable. A good fit just as important as good quality material and construction. I recommend building a relationship with a tailor. J.D. at Frederick's Tailoring in Clive is the best. Tell him Shane sent you.


But I don't assign any blame from this game to Neil Christopher. The Komets did this to themselves. Did he miss the first calls and then call the retaliation calls? Yes, welcome to hockey. The Komets have had this problem the ENTIRE season, and they talk and talk and talk about needing to stay away from penalties and they can't do it, no matter who they are.
It's a lack of self-discipline which has creamed them all year. Troy Neumeier talked about it in today's story, and Colin Chaulk has talked about it forever. It's obvious to everyone, but they can't see to do anything about it.
Rockford, the most penalized team in the league, has four more power-play chances than the Komets so far in this series. That's totally on the Komets.
Not having seen/heard the game, I will put this out there on Christopher. When the Komets won the cup he was the official for the clinching game. This would mean that in that season he was thought of as the best that this league had to offer. Considering the low level of this league, if he really was any good he would have moved up.
That being said, Komet fans need to give up on this conspiracy theory that all officials are out to get them. Remember, it was a Rockford player who shoved/made a gesture at an official and that kind of behaviour gets around the officials communication chain. If they had reason to be "against" someone if would have been Rockford.
the ref did decide the outcome of this game. his calls were late and they were biased. in over 40 years of watching komet hockey i have never seen anyone as bad as this in calling a playoff game. usualy they put away the whistle in the playoffs but this clown called a penalty shot on a guy without the puck and called a double minor high stick on a dive while allowing the hogs to get bye with everything. they even had a guy shove the linesman and a penalty wasnt given because the ref was too busy holding back a hog preventing him from being a third man in during the miller fight. let the guy go and call the penalty. this guy was against the ks and was a joke. yes we got some domb penalties but the ref didnt call any dumb penalties on the hogs and there were two times they had too many men on the ice and nothing happened. sad sad sad. the ks played hard but the reg took the game away from them.
Sorry, blake, you are wrong on this one. This was a horribly called game, and that WAS the reason they lost. By the end of the game, I literally could not think of another way he could have screwed us. I dont want to see him back here again.
The one too many men was blatant and right in front of linesman number 23. He looked right at it and didn't have the guts to make the call because the prior two calls had been against Rockford.
If you question a call once in a while, you get some of those things overlooked. Remember the too many men call on FW in the LAST MINUTES of the last game?
Nice penalty shot call, nice 4 minute highstick call, the guy was so hurt he didn't even leave the ice and was on the powerplay. I know you like to back the refs Tony, and you have a right to do it since you are one, but you can't honestly comment if you weren't there to see this travisty called the UHL. I will admit, if the Komets would have played with the intensity that they showed in the third period, all game, then this wouldn't have happened. The calls were not consistant at all. I know that Blake like always will continue his opinion that it was the Komet's that lost the game, but in my opinion and probably a ton of others who will post a comment tonight or tomorrow, we took a screwing. Being down 4-0 in the second after a slew of bad and questionable calls, is very tough to overcome.
Mr. Jorde should be ashamed of himself. He calls himself a tough hockey player that everyone fears...what a joke. Did anyone see him lay a body in front of the net, behind the net, in the corners, coming up the ice, anything? His play has been shameful. Jorde lovers around me tonight even commented on how it looked as if he was scared because he was trying to avoid contact.
Galbraith and Miller...these guys play the game the way it was intended to be played. Heart, Hustle, and never give up. Pulcrapski goes to sleep on the bench way too often. There was a five minute stretch in the last part of the 3rd where Kelly didn't get a shift. How does this happen when he is a guy that skates hard and makes plays. I will never understand where The Chiefs head is sometimes.
If you're going to call a tight game, then you have to call it tight both ways. If you don't , then you're either biased or incompetent.
Oh, and a couple of those dives were so obvious, even *I* could spot them. Come on, if that really was cross checking in the third, then Ed Campbell is Superman. The Icehog he *tapped* was launched like he was hit by a bus.
i thought I would never say this, but im sick of watching the same mistakes over and over again...why doesn't anyone help frenchy out..the 5th should of never happened...where the hell were all the freakin dmen...i'm ready for this season to end...I'm literally sick of it...please bring in some players who care about playing Fort Wayne Komet hockey..
I just wrote a long post about this on ITB so I will give you the short of it.
The penalty shot call was correct. You dont have to have the puck or even have to have a breakaway. It is rarely called that way, but its a rule.
All 3 calls leading to the 3 quick Hogs goals were correct. Campbell high sticked him in the face clearly and drew blood. I dont know how anyone can argue that call. Also the St. Pierre penalty and penalty shot calls were both correct. He also should have gave St. pierre a misconduct for shooting the puck at him.
Christopher did miss some other calls in the game, both ways. But the ones leading to the Rockford goals in the 2nd period were correct calls.
I was going to comment but I think everybody said what I was thinking. Well put though.
I feel this was the worst playoff officiated game I have ever seen and there were some called on Rockford that you scratched your head. With that being said, Bottom line here is Rockford is too talented hockey club for the K's top to bottom. The K's played hard at times, but the end result was we do not match up with them. Last night we hung on to win tonight we dug ourselves a big hole. The first goal by Watson, IMO, is on Frenchy he should have stayed in the net. I am going to say this PC can pack his bags and go. He is not a all around hockey player and he has missed putting the puck in the net the last 2 nights and they were open net shots. I bet his plus/minus rating is near the worst on the team in this playoff. Say what you want about Big Snake, Johnson, Watson, etc...these guys have it all and put the puck in the net and set up goals. We do not have an answear for Tibbetts either. We should not be surprise at all. The K's play with effort and at times grit, but talent wise we do not compare with or without Chaulk. The series is not over and we do have a slim, slim chance, but the chances of us winning 3 in a row is very unlikely.
Hit if you read between the lines, I wasn't backing him. I will make the point again that there is a reason that a guy working the championship game in a low level league has not moved on/up. It says alot about the quality of the officials in the entire league that the "best" in the league aren't moving anywhere.
I turned on the NHL playoffs tonight and who was one of the refs? Remember Dean Warren from the IHL?
C'mon, Frenchy slashed Tibbetts directly in front of Christopher. The penalty shot is debatable, but at the very least it should have been an additional tripping call. Campbell took a baseball swing at Notermann. Any time you swing around like that, contact or not, it should be a call. You can't dispute that there should have been three calls right there and that was the three Rockford goals that made it 4-0.
End of story. The Komets themselves were even talking about how they keep doing this. They disputed the penalty shot, but not that it shouldn't have been a tripping. That would have left the Komets facing a 5-on-3 for about four minutes and it's likely the same thing would have happened.
Rockford was the highest penalty minute average in the league during the regular season, yet the IceHogs have four more power play chances in this series? Who's fault is that? The Komets AVERAGED one fewer pp chance than their opponents per game in the regular season. That is totally their fault.
As far as the series goes, Rockford was the better team all season, had quite a few more points than the Komets. The Komets winning this series would have been an upset. I don't count them out but it can't be an honest shock to any of us if they don't win this series.
Hey David, are you secretly a Rockford fan? Sounds like it to me. P.C. will be back next year so I'd probably hold off on packing his bags. As for it being unlikely that we win can we all take a trip on memory lane to last season. That's all I need to say.
The thing is, I still think the Komets have a chance because they have Frenchy, and he's capable of winning three games almost by himself. Does anyone think this is a significantly better Rockford team than last year? How about the goaltending?
I'd take a team full of Kelly Miller's, he leaves it all on the ice and you never question his heart and grit out there. That is Komet hockey. That is what we want out there. Not guys that give BS interviews about how everyone fears him. That guy plays afraid out there. Big tall strong guy who turns to avoid making contact...that's pitiful.
I think Rockford is a better team than last year, all around, except goaltending. The problem is not so much that as it is, the Komets are not as good a team this year as they were last.
Big difference this year from last is the home/away situation is reversed.
So a guy has an off night........wait the whole team has an off night and all of a sudden its get rid of P.C. wow what a bunch of people we have supporting our team when everybody said it was the officials not the team who lost it. I hope P.C does go somewhere else maybe he won't have fans that bag on him so much. I'd just be glad that we have a hockey team in Fort Wayne at all. For that matter I hope Guinn and Jorde go better places also they can't seem to do anything right in the eyes of these so called fans of the komets.
So heather sounds like you are dateing all three of them guys. YOU GO GIRL!!!
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME PC HAS SCORED?
Did everybody else score this game?
Don't forget the rule of the blog: If you are going to rip an official, then you have to name one who you think does a good job. It's too easy just to rip all the time.
Heather I think folks are a little emotional right now. It is typical in sports that especially during the playoffs when a team is in danger of elimination to play the "what have you done for me lately" card. P.C., Jorde and Guinn have been 3 of the most dependable Komets all season. Everyone knows that. Right now there is alot of frustration because nobody wants the season to be over.
Well for these people to rip one guy when the whole team lost the game just goes to show people are sore losers. He may not have scored lately but there's a lot of those guys right?
Anybody seen Luciuk? How about Goodwin? Rumble? The entire team isn't playing up to par, not just a guy here or there. They win as a team and lose as a team, and that's never been more true that this season.
ALL the officials in the nextel cup.
I agree with Blake on that one. Thanks for the reassurance that these people are in the wrong to blame just one guy.
Funny thing is, I think folks are getting what they wanted. Instead of doing what Domber did, turtle/back away and sucker the other team into taking penalties, the Komets are doing the exact opposite.


The purpose of the Egerländer Brass Band of Neusiedl am See is the interpretation of Bohemian music in the special Egerländer style and presenting this music to the public in a corresponding concert atmosphere.
The orchestra project Egerländer Brass Bank - Neusiedl am See was founded by Rainer und Thomas Stiassny in 1994. Since then, like-minded musicians from Austria and neighboring countries have come together to share their fascination with this music and to spoil the audience with incredible music.
Of course it is necessary for a good performance that the musicians show exceptional skill, but of even more importance is that the musicians identify with the music style. Bohemian music must be a matter close to their heart so that the Egerländer melodies come to life with the passion of interpretation.
The majority of musicians have been taking part for many years. In this way the musicians have an opportunity to not only enjoy the music, but also to reunite with old friends.
An important aspect is the non-profit character of the various non-profit projects organized by the Egerländer Brass Band. The musicians do not receive a salary and instead take part purely for the enjoyment of the music.
The project has been supported by idealism and a sense of community in the past and will continue to do so in the future. In this way we look forward to meeting new Egerländer friends every year.

The solar thermal power industry is growing rapidly with 1.3 GW under construction in 2012 and more planned. Spain is the epicenter of solar thermal power development with 873 MW under construction, and a further 271 MW under development.[112] In the United States, 5,600 MW of solar thermal power projects have been announced.[113] Several power plants have been constructed in the Mojave Desert, Southwestern United States. The Ivanpah Solar Power Facility being the most recent. In developing countries, three World Bank projects for integrated solar thermal/combined-cycle gas-turbine power plants in Egypt, Mexico, and Morocco have been approved.[114]
A study of the material consumption trends and requirements for wind energy in Europe found that bigger turbines have a higher consumption of precious metals but lower material input per kW generated. The current material consumption and stock was compared to input materials for various onshore system sizes. In all EU countries the estimates for 2020 exceeded and doubled the values consumed in 2009. These countries would need to expand their resources to be able to meet the estimated demand for 2020. For example, currently the EU has 3% of world supply of fluorspar and it requires 14% by 2020. Globally, the main exporting countries are South Africa, Mexico and China. This is similar with other critical and valuable materials required for energy systems such as magnesium, silver and indium. In addition, the levels of recycling of these materials is very low and focusing on that could alleviate issues with supply in the future. It is important to note that since most of these valuable materials are also used in other emerging technologies, like LEDs, PVs and LCDs, it is projected that demand for them will continue to increase.[53]
Mr. Trump has said the Paris agreement is a bad deal for the United States and that the country will no longer work toward its pledge of cutting emissions at least 26 percent below 2005 levels by 2025 or contribute money to the climate fund. Former President Barack Obama promised $3 billion over four years and delivered $1 billion before leaving office.
Grid parity, the point at which the cost of photovoltaic electricity is equal to or cheaper than the price of grid power, is more easily achieved in areas with abundant sun and high costs for electricity such as in California and Japan.[80] In 2008, The levelized cost of electricity for solar PV was $0.25/kWh or less in most of the OECD countries. By late 2011, the fully loaded cost was predicted to fall below $0.15/kWh for most of the OECD and to reach $0.10/kWh in sunnier regions. These cost levels are driving three emerging trends: vertical integration of the supply chain, origination of power purchase agreements (PPAs) by solar power companies, and unexpected risk for traditional power generation companies, grid operators and wind turbine manufacturers.[81][dead link]
Plant energy is produced by crops specifically grown for use as fuel that offer high biomass output per hectare with low input energy. Some examples of these plants are wheat, which typically yield 7.5–8 tonnes of grain per hectare, and straw, which typically yield 3.5–5 tonnes per hectare in the UK.[68] The grain can be used for liquid transportation fuels while the straw can be burned to produce heat or electricity. Plant biomass can also be degraded from cellulose to glucose through a series of chemical treatments, and the resulting sugar can then be used as a first generation biofuel.
The oldest solar thermal power plant in the world is the 354 megawatt (MW) SEGS thermal power plant, in California.[109] The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System is a solar thermal power project in the California Mojave Desert, 40 miles (64 km) southwest of Las Vegas, with a gross capacity of 377 MW.[110] The 280 MW Solana Generating Station is a solar power plant near Gila Bend, Arizona, about 70 miles (110 km) southwest of Phoenix, completed in 2013. When commissioned it was the largest parabolic trough plant in the world and the first U.S. solar plant with molten salt thermal energy storage.[111]
Other cities won't have it so easy. Take Atlanta. Residents buy energy from Georgia Power, which is owned by investors. As things stand, Atlantans have no control over how their power is generated, though that may change. In 2019, Georgia Power, by state law, has to update its energy plan. Ted Terry, director of the Georgia chapter of the Sierra Club, says the nonprofit is working with Atlanta officials to incorporate renewables, primarily solar, into the state's plan. Developing such energy sources on a scale that can power a metro area with 5.8 million people, as in Atlanta, or 7.68 million in the San Francisco Bay Area, or 3.3 million in San Diego, will prove challenging. But it doesn't seem impossible. In 2015, California set a goal of deriving 50 percent of its energy from renewable sources by 2030. Its three investor-owned utilities—Pacific Gas & Electric, Southern California Edison and San Diego Gas & Electric—are poised to achieve that goal just two years from now, or ten years early.
The theory of peak oil was published in 1956.[39] In the 1970s environmentalists promoted the development of renewable energy both as a replacement for the eventual depletion of oil, as well as for an escape from dependence on oil, and the first electricity generating wind turbines appeared. Solar had long been used for heating and cooling, but solar panels were too costly to build solar farms until 1980.[40]
Going forward, there is hope for the small wind future! Certification programs are under way in various places to provide real turbine performance data. In North America this is being spearheaded by the Small Wind Certification Council, which requires third-party certification of turbine performance in a standardized fashion. Manufacturers will no longer be able to fudge power curves, or specify 'rated power' at hurricane-force wind speeds. This will allow you, the consumer, to compare turbines on a much more even footing.

Most current solar power plants are made from an array of similar units where each unit is continuously adjusted, e.g., with some step motors, so that the light converter stays in focus of the sun light. The cost of focusing light on converters such as high-power solar panels, Stirling engine, etc. can be dramatically decreased with a simple and efficient rope mechanics.[55] In this technique many units are connected with a network of ropes so that pulling two or three ropes is sufficient to keep all light converters simultaneously in focus as the direction of the sun changes.
From 1978 to 1996, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory experimented with producing algae fuel in the "Aquatic Species Program."[112] A self-published article by Michael Briggs, at the University of New Hampshire Biofuels Group, offers estimates for the realistic replacement of all motor vehicle fuel with biofuels by utilizing algae that have a natural oil content greater than 50%, which Briggs suggests can be grown on algae ponds at wastewater treatment plants.[113] This oil-rich algae can then be extracted from the system and processed into biofuels, with the dried remainder further reprocessed to create ethanol. The production of algae to harvest oil for biofuels has not yet been undertaken on a commercial scale, but feasibility studies have been conducted to arrive at the above yield estimate. During the biofuel production process algae actually consumes the carbon dioxide in the air and turns it into oxygen through photosynthesis.[114] In addition to its projected high yield, algaculture— unlike food crop-based biofuels — does not entail a decrease in food production, since it requires neither farmland nor fresh water. Many companies are pursuing algae bio-reactors for various purposes, including scaling up biofuels production to commercial levels.[115][116]
Environmental impact of wind power includes effect on wildlife, but can be mitigated if proper monitoring and mitigation strategies are implemented.[76] Thousands of birds, including rare species, have been killed by the blades of wind turbines,[77] though wind turbines contribute relatively insignificantly to anthropogenic avian mortality. For every bird killed by a wind turbine in the US, nearly 500,000 are killed by each of feral cats and buildings.[78] In comparison, conventional coal fired generators contribute significantly more to bird mortality, by incineration when caught in updrafts of smoke stacks and by poisoning with emissions byproducts (including particulates and heavy metals downwind of flue gases). Further, marine life is affected by water intakes of steam turbine cooling towers (heat exchangers) for nuclear and fossil fuel generators, by coal dust deposits in marine ecosystems (e.g. damaging Australia's Great Barrier Reef) and by water acidification from combustion monoxides.

There are two types of crystalline silicon, but it's likely you'll more often encounter monocrystalline silicon: it has a square-ish structure, and its high silicon content makes it more effective (and more expensive) than other panel materials. The other type of crystalline silicon, polycrystalline, is cheaper but less effective, so it's used when there's plenty of space (e.g., on a solar farm)—typically not on residential installs.

The Berlin Airlift
Food became a weapon again in the first serious conflict of the Cold War – the Berlin Airlift.
Berlin was the center of a showdown between Russia and the Western powers. Both the city and the German nation had been divided into four "zones" with a military government from the U.S., Britain, France and Russia in each zone. These were intended to be temporary institutions until a new national government could be built. Berlin was 400 miles inside the Soviet occupied part of Germany.
But soon after the war ended, it was apparent that Russia wanted a buffer between itself and the rest of Europe. It annexed massive territories, swallowing formerly independent nations into the new Soviet Union. Then it set up puppet Communist governments in Poland, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary. Russian leader Joseph Stalin wanted to force his former allies out of all of Germany and set up a Communist government there, too.
The key to the plan was Berlin and its two million hungry people. Most of West Berlin's food and fuel supplies were imported from the west by trucks, barges and trains. In June 1948, Stalin effectively shut off all three land-based routes. President Harry S. Truman was determined that the Allies would never leave Berlin. Stalin had to be stopped. U.S. and allied military commanders started making plans to send troops to open the blockade. But a limited number of allied troops faced 300,000 to 400,000 Soviet soldiers in Germany. The U.S. sent B-29 Superfortress bombers to bases in Great Britain. Russia didn't know whether or not they had atomic bombs on board.
Historians now say that at no time in post-World War II history – with the exception of the Cuban Missile crisis of 1962 – has the world been closer to World War III than it was during the period from June 25 through late July, 1948.
Truman ruled out using ground troops for fear of another world war. So, the American military governor in Germany, Gen. Lucius Clay, was left with only one option – airlifting supplies to Berlin through three air corridors that had been set up after the war. "I may be the craziest man in the world," he told the German mayor Berlin, "but I am going to try the experiment of feeding this city by air."
In the American sector of Germany, the Air Force began organizing under Gen. Curtis LeMay. Berlin officials estimated that the city could get by with 4,500 tons of supplies a day – 646 tons of flour and wheat, 125 tons of cereal, 64 tons of fat, 109 tons of meat and fish, 180 tons of dehydrated potatoes, 180 tons of sugar, 11 tons of coffee, 19 tons of powdered milk, 5 tons of whole milk for children, 3 tons of fresh yeast for baking, 144 tons of dehydrated vegetables, 38 tons of salt, and 10 tons of cheese. Then there were coal and liquid fuel needs.
A total of 4,500 tons of supplies each day. It was a huge order.
Jim Chenault was one of the pilots who flew the C-47 and C-54 cargo planes that were the main airplanes used in the Berlin Airlift. He says that eventually the operation became very sophisticated. "It might be 18 hours that you're on duty before you got to go back to bed," Jim says. "Which was about all we did, was sleep, and eat, and fly. For three months I never had a day off. It was a hard job, but I was flying and I enjoyed it."
Food was the main priority followed by coal. Quartermaster units were directed to buy supplies from wherever they could. Some of the food and fuel came from local European sources. But the economies of western Europe were still struggling. So, much of the food and other material came from relief supplies steaming across the Atlantic from American farmers and factories.
Ships were unloaded and supplies were put on Army trucks that usually traveled directly to the airbases in the western zones in Germany. Controllers made sure there was always a steady stream of trucks ready to load the planes. Once they were loaded, planes were coordinated so that a new plane landed in Berlin every three minutes. They taxied to unloading docks. Local Germans loaded and unloaded the planes by hand. Each worker was expected to load one ton per hour. The food was distributed to warehouses across the city. Meanwhile, the pilots and crew took a break at a snack wagon that pulled up to them, got the latest weather report and got back on the plane when it was reloaded.
The Airlift worked. After a slow buildup, the Air Force was delivering over 6,000 tons of supplies every day by the spring of 1949. The effort had gone on longer than anyone had expected, 16 months. In that time, the German people in the western zones had organized their own governments, rejecting Communist party influences.
Stalin gave up.
In May 1949, the USSR announced they were lifting the land blockades. The ability of the American farmer to produce abundant food, and the ability of the U.S. military to deliver it to Berlin had won the first battle in the Cold War.

Meet the 200 Best Digital Artists jury
Michael Weinzettl introduces the jury for our upcoming Special, 200 Best Digital Artists Worldwide. Will your work make the pages of the new book?
Digital Artist: Milton Menezes. Will this submission for 200 Best Digital Artists make the final selection?
We're sending our 200 Best Illustrators Special off to the printers, which will be available in the middle of August. So we're now focusing on the second Special to come out this year: 200 Best Digital Artists. Submission for it has been extended to the end of July so there is still an opportunity for digital artists to send us their best work from the past two years.
Once again I would like to point out that this book is mainly about the art of digital imagery, much less of photography – for that we have our bi-annual 200 Best Ad Photographers Worldwide. What we want to showcase in 200 Best Digital Artists are the enormous possibilities that digital imaging affords today.
In other words, we won't be featuring any photography in there that has been touched up in post-production to make people or things look "better." This has, as we all know, become standard procedure now in advertising and for every magazine featuring celebrities, stars and models on their covers and spreads.
One of the worst - if you want to call it - offenders in turning human beings into photoshopped-to-death glamour icons is of course the US edition of Vogue. Just have a look at their digitally "enhanced" version of Kate Winslet on their November 2013 cover and tell me if you a) can even recognise her and b) if you agree with me that she looks like she'd spent the few hours prior to the shoot trapped inside a wind tunnel.
Anyway, however much an "art" this may be in itself, it is not the kind of thing we want to focus on in our 200 Best Digital Artists book. We want to show the "digital fireworks" that digital imaging technology makes possible today.
Starting to judge the submissions in early August, apart from myself, will be a jury consisting of some top experts and practitioners in the fields of digital imaging and communications:
There is Glen Taylor, founder of Taylor James, one of the top addresses when it comes to outstanding visuals for print, TV and interactive media.
Renowned for their creative and technical expertise, Taylor James have studios in New York and London that work with global brands and advertising agencies.
From the sphere of academe we have Laurence Minsky, Associate Professor in the Marketing Communication Department of the School of Media Arts at Columbia College Chicago.
Laurence is also the author of several books, among them the critically acclaimed How to Succeed in Advertising When All You Have is Talent.
Also from the world of CGI (as well as photography) we could enlist the judgement of Carioca Studio, an image concept house based in Bucharest, Romania and specialising in advertising still visuals.
Andrei Stoleru, Dragos Traistaru and Dragos Coman of Carioca
Our readers will be quite familiar with their work as it features with great frequency in the ad campaigns showcased in the magazine. Rather than put forward one of the founders and partners, they prefer to vote as a team on the submissions for our new book.
From the world of photography is Christoph Bolten, a photographer who founded and runs Recom Farmhouse London, a CGI and retouching house with studios in New York, Berlin and Stuttgart.
Recom Farmhouse is best known for their successful collaborations with a wide range of photographers in areas ranging from fine-art to fashion and advertising.
Representing the side of advertising is Otis D. Gibson, founder and CCO of Gertrude Inc., a global advertising and marketing services agency with offices in Chicago, New York, and London.
Gertrude Inc. has worked for such diverse clients as Absolut Vodka, adidas, American Express, Asia Pacific Breweries, Champion USA, Coca-Cola, DIAGEO, Google, HP, Kellogg's, Kraft, L.A. Gear, L'Oreal, McDonald's, Microsoft, MTV Toyota, and The U.S. Army.
And of course I wouldn't want to have a jury without Anne Telford, one of the most discerning minds in the area of visual arts and communication I know. Anne is a former editor-at-large of Communication Arts magazine and a constant in our juries for the 200 Best books.
And here a few examples of submissions that have come in for our 200 Best Digital Artists special to be published in November 2014:
Digital Artist: Chris Roome
Digital Artist: Salamagica
Digital Artist: Estilo3D
Submit work for 200 Best Digital Artists here. Deadline: 31 July 2014

With the latest round of recalls announced yesterday, General Motors recalled 15.8 million cars in North America in 2014, more cars than they sold in the last five years combined. And they may not be stopping anytime soon.
"GM is trying to aggressively issue recalls for items as soon as they learn about it, rather than batching the items for a vehicle and waiting," Barclays' Johnson said. "This will increase the frequency of recalls, but will reduce the total number of vehicles recalled."
Remember, the problem isn't really that GM is recalling these cars, it's that they knew about the ignition switch defect for more than a decade and did nothing. Thankfully, they seem to taking a different tack this time around, which is better for consumers in the long run.
As GM tweaks the way it handles defects and communicates with both customers and federal safety regulators, it puts product chief Mark Reuss in charge of recalls. Reuss will be on a team of five who will make decisions on recalls going forward.
More recalls may be coming, but it's better than having defective cars on the road. Now the question will be how quickly they can get all of these cars fixed.


The fortunes of Californian olive growers are mixed this year.
In Jamestown, grower Leslie Hurst said her Hurst Ranch Feeds & Fencing crop looks to be following a statewide trend of light tonnage as weather has taken its toll on this year's crop.
The California Farm Bureau Federation Food and Farm News reports that, as the California harvest nears its halfway point of completion, some groves have no olives or so few that they will not be harvested. Yields are varying from less than one ton per acre to three tons or more per acre. Thus far, more than 17,000 tons have been sent to processors from California groves. Carryover from last season is expected to keep retail stores supplied with olives all year.
Frost that hurt winegrape growers badly in the late spring did not extend its misfortune to olive trees, she said, saying any effects of the cold snap were very minimal. However, the dryness brought on a much lighter harvest this year for Hurst when compared to 2007.
Despite this, there should be plenty enough oil to meet customer demands, she said, adding with a chuckle, "it's just that you do a lot of work" for less return in off years like this one.
Across the river, where olives are considered a signature Calaveras County-grown crop, growers are reporting less of a downturn than in other parts of the state.
Melson expects his approximately 235 trees should produce about 3,000 pounds of olives, a typical harvest. Likewise, Bill Broll, owner of Broll Mountain Vineyards near Murphys, a grape grower who produces extra virgin olive oil as well, said he is expecting an average harvest.
'We don't, at the moment, see a smaller harvest like we had with the grapes this year," Broll said.
Broll's experience has been much the opposite of his counterpart in Tuolumne County as he said last year proved to be a lighter year for his olive harvest.

Inescapable myths and stubborn minds: attempts to vaccinate backfire | Techilink
Enlarge / A child with measles.
Tackling a myth with facts can only reinforce it, a new study suggests.
Researchers found that three major intervention strategies for combating anti-vaccine lies and falsehoods were ineffective at changing people's minds. But perhaps more worryingly, they found that long-term exposure to the interventions strengthened participants' belief in those lies and untruths, researchers recently reported in PLOS One. The researchers speculate that the mere repetition of a myth during the debunking process may be enough to embed the myth in a believer's mind.
"People tend to mistake repetition for truth, a phenomenon known as the 'illusory truth' effect," note the authors, led by Sara Pluviano of the University of Edinburgh. And when those myths are built into a framework of beliefs and worldviews—a cognitively consistent perspective—it becomes even more difficult to dispel them.
The study isn't the first to find that pro-vaccination strategies can backfire, but it highlights how seemingly corrective information can be twisted in stubborn minds to support rather than refute misinformation.
More importantly, the authors conclude, our work can help public health authorities and practitioners understand why it is necessary to adopt an appropriate strategy to influence people's beliefs and behaviors about vaccination, which can result in better health outcomes for the individuals themselves. and for society as a whole."
For the study, the researchers tested three common strategies on 120 participants to counter vaccine misinformation: text that juxtaposes myths with corrective facts; pictures and diagrams conveying the dangers of vaccine-preventable diseases and the real risks of those vaccines; and terrifying images of children sick with vaccine-preventable diseases.
An example of myth versus fact information.
An example of visual pro-vaccination information.
A child with measles.
Sample text used with terrifying images.
Participants were randomly divided into four groups, three receiving one of the three intervention leaflets listed above and one remaining group receiving information on an unrelated topic, which served as a control. The researchers surveyed the participants' vaccine recommendations just before and after they received information, and seven days later. The surveys gauged opinions about whether vaccines caused autism, whether vaccines had scary side effects, and whether participants were hesitant about vaccines or getting them on a recommended schedule.
Participants in the study had different opinions on the matter. But researchers tracked the overall change within each group to assess and compare the impact of each intervention.
In general, none of the information leaflets initially changed my mind about vaccines. But after seven days it got worse.
The group that saw the myth that vaccines cause autism alongside facts that disproved that myth was much more likely after seven days to believe the myth that vaccines cause autism. The group who saw frightening images of sick children were much more likely to think after seven days that vaccines cause scary, serious side effects.
Mean scores of the three main outcomes evaluated: Vaccines Cause Autism (A), Vaccines Side Effects (B), and Vaccine Hesitancy (C) by condition and time (after one week). Outcome means at Time 1 are represented by blue bars, while outcome means at Time 2 are represented by green bars. Error bars: 95% CI.
Change scores for the three main outcomes evaluated: Vaccine Cause Autism Change Score (A), Vaccines Side Effects Change Score (B), and Vaccine Hesitation Change Score (C) for various conditions. Error bars: 95% CI.
After seven days, the control group showed no change in their 'vaccine hesitation' score. But all three groups that received vaccine information packs saw an increase in their vaccine hesitancy scores.
The study, of course, has limitations; it's small, tests mostly middle-aged students, and is based on survey responses rather than actual vaccination rates. But the researchers say it's still a useful example of how people can misremember information over time. As for the future, the researchers are at a bit of a loss. They certainly argue that more research is needed to figure out how to shatter entrenched myths. For now, their advice to public health advocates and experts is to try a bombardment method — many interventions, together and repeated — and hope some facts stick.

New Delhi: As conflicts over land and development spread across India, it doesn't hurt to have a Gandhi on your side.
The promoters of Deccan Gold Mines Ltd (DGML), a publicly traded mineral exploration company, and its associate, mining firm Geomysore Services (India) Pvt. Ltd, have tapped Tushar Gandhi, the great-grandson of Mahatma Gandhi, to aid in community development for people living in mineral-bearing areas.
The strategy seeks to avoid repeats of Singur, the controversial site of Tata Motors Ltd's Rs1 lakh car factory, or even the May kidnapping of Posco-India executives in Dhinkia, Orissa.
Some firms are offering local residents jobs or a stake in their profits, along side promises to improve infrastructure and local institutions.
In DGML's case, the company's chairman Charles E.E. Devenish plans to put his personal money into the Australian Indian Rural Development Foundation (AIRDF) to launch a series of rural programmes based on the Gandhian model of self-reliant "village republics", specifically in areas where Deccan has applied for mines.
Tushar Gandhi will work with AIRDF to implement these programmes. He will be paid a salary for his services, but neither party disclosed the details.
Geomysore says it has committed Rs60,000 monthly for the project.
On Mahatma Gandhi's birth anniversary on 2 October, Tushar Gandhi said worshipping the Mahatma has become more ritualistic, his message forgotten after the date is over. "What is needed is to turn this worship into actual work in the spirit of trusteeship," says the founder of the Mahatma Gandhi Foundation, which has been compiling a digital archive of the leader's writings, photos and speeches.
Geomysore is 80% owned by Perth-based Australian Indian Resources Pty. Ltd (AIR), with the balance being held by Cyprus-based Sun Mining and Exploration Ltd. DGML is 58% owned by Rama Mines (Mauritius) Ltd, in turn promoted by shareholders of AIR.
DGML's 100% subsidiary, Indophil Resources Exploration Services Pvt. Ltd, is prospecting for gold in Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. Geomysore is prospecting in Jonnagiri, located in western Andhra Pradesh. AIRDF plans to build 20 toilets at a cost of Rs10 lakh for the Jonnagiri high school, where some 600 students attend, but not a single toilet exists.
It has plans to promote more teacher training and support horticulture projects, such as the planting of macadamia trees. Already, 800 macadamia nut seeds imported from Australia are in plant trials in Nandi hills, 40km from Bangalore.
Some of the plants were also flown to a garden in Dimapur, Nagaland, where a Geomysore arm, Trident Mineral Exploration, is seeking licences to explore nickel and platinum deposits near the Indo-Myanmar border.
Some varieties of macadamia are edible, and its oil can be used in cosmetics.
"Every mining deal has to be win-win for everybody. What we need is a Marshall Plan mentality to start the first stage of development for cash flows from mines to create economic ripples," says Devenish, referring to the US-sponsored aid programme to help rebuild Europe after World War II.
Devenish, also a stakeholder in Geomysore, first heard of Mahatma Gandhi while studying at the progressive Bedales School in England as a teenager and says he undertook a trek on foot from Calais in France to Kolkata in 1958 when he was just 17.
Miners have faced an uphill battle in winning over local communities. Unrest is spreading from the beaches of Kerala to Orissa's bauxite mines, where Sterlite Industries Ltd has been accused of illegally diverting forest land.
Environmentalists say a majority of the country's mines, mostly run by government agencies, have a poor record of closure with negligible reforestation efforts. "The whole aim of mining is profiteering today, which goes into feeding corrupt practices. Many of the licences take a long time to come, so when they get the mines, it's an opportunity to get back all that they had spent," says Gandhi, 47, who came under fire in India for attempting to sell copyrights of his great-grandfather's works and images to US-based CMG Worldwide.
Public outrage forced cancellation of a deal to use the Mahatma's image in a credit-card advertisement.
Activists say mining officials tend to be insensitive in handling displacement and do not give landowners the compensations due. Consequences of displacement have turned violent in places such as Kalinganagar in Orissa and Nandigram in West Bengal.
Companies such as JSW Steel Ltd—investing Rs40,000 crore in a steel mill 200km away from Singur—dole out hefty compensation packages.
One component made some 742 villagers stakeholders in the project. "Farmers have lived for generations on the land. It is something more deep-rooted than money," says Biswadip Gupta, chief executive officer of JSW Bengal, JSW Steel's subsidiary handling the West Bengal project.
With increased awareness of their fundamental rights, a farmer today behaves like a venture capitalist, says Satish Magar, managing director of Magarpatta Township Development and Construction Co. Ltd. "Instead of bringing money, they bring land." A former land owner himself, Magar convinced 125 other families to pool in land near Pune to build a township in return for stakes in the company several years ago.
But sceptical activists continue to distrust efforts by companies to put a positive spin to displacement. Some 600km away from Jonnagiri, claim activists of Mines, Minerals & People (MM&P), a network of 150 organizations, protestors have formed blockades at JSW Steel's proposed site for an aluminium refinery in Boddavara.
And at Makavaripalem, also in Andhra Pradesh, a hunger strike has been waged for the past month to protest against a second aluminium refinery in Andhra Pradesh—the project of the government of Ras Al Khaimah, one of the seven emirates that form the United Arab Emirates. Makavaripalem is also the location of a special economic zone.
"We have heard promises of farmers getting macadamia plants before," says Ravi Rebbapragada, coordinator of MM&P. "So far, all these promises have been false and farmers have always been tricked into giving up their land. Ultimately, companies have to give people their due share," Rebbapragada adds.


The National Employment Savings Trust (Nest) has appointed the first chairs of its employer and member panels.
Paul Jagger, MBE, has been appointed chair of the Nest employer panel and Museji Takolia, CBE, has been appointed chair of the Nest member panel.
Jagger is currently chair of Barnsley Lift Company; a non-executive member of the Sheffield Chamber of Commerce, pro chancellor and chair of Council Bradford University; deputy chair of the Committee of University Chairs; and member of the University Council for Educational Administration and the joint negotiating committee.
Takolia is currently executive chairman of Intellicomm Solutions and a non-executive director at the Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills (OFSTED). He started his career in social policy in local government, and has worked as a management consultant and strategic adviser on equality and diversity issues internationally.
The chairs will be involved in the selection process for their first six panel members. Some scheme members and employers using Nest can be appointed to the panels once Nest is up and running. The maximum number for both panels, including the chairs, is 15.
The employer panel will provide a communication channel between the business world and employers who will use Nest, and the Nest trustee. The member panel will represent the views of Nest scheme members and future scheme members to the trustee.
Lawrence Churchill, chair of the Nest Corporation, said: "We are very pleased to have appointed people of such high calibre to these roles.


The Russ Hill's Garden Lounge bar is a warm, friendly place with a reasonable selection of bottled and draught beers – including British bitter and continental lagers; spirits, liqueurs and aperitifs including Martini, Campari and Pimms; and a small selection of wines that can be purchased by the glass or bottle and can be taken through to dinner. Prop up the bar on a high wooden stool or relax with friends in a booth – the bar has a very traditional pub feel, and is very popular with guests in the evenings!
During the daytime, the bar is also open for hot and soft drinks and is a pleasant place to relax with a tea, coffee or a quick lunchtime pint. The bar also serves hot and cold food and is open from 12.30pm to 11pm.

Of late Maruti-Suzuki has launched three propositions into market. We dig down deeper in order to facilitate your decision making.
When it comes to the brand loyalty, maruti Suzuki India Limited enjoys indomitable position in Indian automobile market. Chocolate company has launched many new prepositions which has led to the increase in the market share with car with Maruti Suzuki now enjoying more than 50% of the total market. Analysing some of the past few years company has launched 3 major models in different consumer categories. In the mid size Sedan segment, ciaz was launched wild premium Hatchback and compact SUV segment has witnessed the rolling out of Baleno and Vitara Brezza respectively. So if like many you are also confused about which Maruti is best in these three models, then this road test review is exactly what the doctor has ordered. Although belonging to the different segments, we picked these three Maruti suggest each other to find out which model suits your needs best. So fasten of the seatbelt and get ready to experience a new level of insight as we get you some of the most coveted and informative revelation about these Marutis.
Maruti Ciaz and Baleno come with both petrol and diesel variants while the compact SUV, Vitara Brezza features only 1.3-litre DDiS diesel engine. For the sake of simplicity, we will confine our road test review to the diesel variants of all these three cars. This implies that throughout the comparison, diesel variants of these cars will be pitted against each other. Apart from having the similarity of largest dealership network around the country, these cars are as different as chalk and cheese. Starting from the styling quotient, Maruti Ciaz looks very sedate and it has a demeanour that will not offend anybody. At the company is catering to the business executive class with this mid-size sedan, the design philosophy just follow the right amount of character and mildness. The lower slung stance, rising beltline, and tastefully created rear end makes this midsize Maruti a very proportionate and balanced preposition.
Maruti Baleno on the other side draws its design aspirations from its younger cousin, the swift. One can apparently be sure that this card design is the evolution of Swift philosophy and although the similarity can be ascertained, the car is distinctive enough to carve a place for itself in the market. The company has increased the distance between the centre of the front and rear wheels which is helpful in liberating the more cabin space. Inside the cabin too, the company has offered luxurious interiors and quality Greens although the overall layout of the dashboard feels skimpy and incomplete. There is lack of coherence when we talk about the centre console and we design theme adopted by the Maruti Suzuki space in front of Elite i20.
The company's newest entrant in the compact SUV segment, the Vitara Brezza has got rugged appeal and strong SUV demeanour. Large wheel arches, horizontal bonnet, squareish profile and stylish rear make this compact SUV different from its rivalling prepositions. The overall design and the turnout are along the Expectations and company hasn't gone overboard in terms of styling and design. Inside the cabin, quality is mediocre and although fit and finish somewhere conform to the norms, Maruti could have equipped this compact SUV with better quality materials.
Talking about the space proposition all these 3 cars before significantly and has their own positives and negatives. If you are looking for spacious and comfortable cabin, then look no further as Maruti ciaz is the best option to go for. There is enough room at the back seat and car can easily accommodate three adults without any space constraint. That kind of feeling is not present in Vitara which struggles with the accommodation third passenger. If you want to make a comfortable journey, recommended that you ferry total of 4 people in this compact SUV. Spaces not the strongest point of this compact SUV and we expected Maruti to have provided more spacious cabin to this new venture of the organisation. Maruti Baleno strikes a good balance between space and comfort. It may not be a spacious as Ciaz is but it certainly can accommodate 5 peoples in Greater comfort then Vitara. We are happy to note that space is not at a premium in the belly no then the case with the Vitaa or for that matter Maruti Swift.
On the engine and specification front, Ciaz and Vitara comes with 90 PS version of 1.3-litre DDiS diesel engine of the Maruti while on the other hand Baleno is equipped with 75 PS variant. On the flip side although Baleno weights lighter than both ciaz and Vitara which makes all these 3 cars white performing board and out on the highway. We have no complaints whatsoever about the performance of these cards and although there is bit of turbo lag in the initial rpms, once the engine gets going the performance is very gratifying in nature. In fact till this date Maruti has got the tuning experience spot on as none of its Rival can match the indian returning factor right just like the Maruti. There is not much to differentiate on the Performance Parts although if we have to choose between these three cars, we will like to go with the Vitara which feels very peppy, very enthusiastic and eager to perform even towards the red line indicating high rpms. But if we have to choose one area where we Vitara completely dominate the other two, it will be ride and handling.
Thanks to the stiff suspension setting given to this compact SUV by Maruti, Vitara Brezza is absolutely delighted to handle or throw around the corners. This is suspension has cost some of the riding points to this car although it makes up by plastering a big smile on your face with its cunning handling abilities. Maruti Ciaz and Baleno on the other hand have preferred ride quality over handling adventure and their suspension setup has been on the softer side in order to cater to the needs of the families sitting inside the car.
All three cars in this road test comparison have their own merits and demerits. If you are looking for a chauffeur driven car and spend most of your time at the backseat, then for you Maruti Ciaz is the best option. It has class leading space, roomy interiors, and comes equipped with very fuel efficient and mileage oriented power plant. The ride quality of this car is among the best of the segment which makes it very comfortable place to be hanged around even in the long Journeys. For the other end of customers who are looking for adventure, fun and expect their car to be enthusiastic about craving corners, Vitara Brezza is undoubtedly the right choice to go with. It has got all the necessary ingredients to make it very comfortable and driver oriented vehicle and it out Shine each and every of its competitors on the front of handling. You can throw this car around without having any worry about what will be the reaction of this vehicle. However, looking at a complete package capable of delivering your fuel efficiency, spacious cabin, and quality interiors with sufficient amount of practicality, we recommend you to go with Maruti Baleno premium hatchback. The card ticks all the right boxes and it is also priced less than other two vehicles in this comparison. It offers you right kind of space, quality interiors, fuel efficient engine, and offers very pliant ride quality. So if you are getting this complete package within a reasonable price range, then there is no reason to look further as Baleno is the right preposition to go by.

Attack Of The Reversal Tomatoes (Disguise)
Candle was a female contestant on Object Connects. She's a member of The Smelly Peaches from the start. She's eliminated from the game in What Camp: Part 2.
Candle is a loyal, strong, smart, outgoing tomboy who always enforces her messages and conversations with other people she talks by simply talking street-smart out loud in a good way. Despite her attitude, everyone in the show seems Candle as a person who cares about other people and wanting to help them to face their problem or defend it. No matter what trouble they're facing, she'll be there to defend them. This is a person who deserves respect. She calls all of the female characters she talks to "Girl," calls all of the male characters she talks to either "Honey," "Dude," or "Bro," and the host "Bud." However, whatever someone is messing with Candle, especially her scent and weight, she enters a ring and backtalks them. Candle can be a loud mouth, sassy, rude girl as she has the right of doing so in order to defend herself even if they find her annoying and loud. Candle loves eating food. In fact, she packs all of the food she brings in her safe, just in case someone won't steal them from her. Candle can be a bit upset toward Walky Talky and his stubborn but yet casuist attitude as she finds it a bit annoying, and whatever he keeps saying this, she ignores it and explain to him that this is the right way.
In What Camp: Part 1, Candle played a role as a protector and a mentor of Flashlight since Toothbrush was always bugging her. Candle resorted to violence everything Toothbrush gets near to her which caused her to throw him out from one of the train compartment they're at.
Candle is actually a character from a cancelled object show called "The Advance." Both her and the show were created by greenskyofbfdi. Thus making Candle the only character from the different show to be created by a different user.
Candle and Lantern are the only ones to create fire.
Candle is the first contestant to start fighting with another contestant.
Candle is the only contestant that hasn't received a new body in the PowerPoint era.
Candle is the first (and so far the only) female to be eliminated from the game.

Really interesting analysis. Thank you, Mary!
I know so little about digital presentation. Thank you, Mary, for bringing more light to the subject to aid my understanding of it.
Another situation where "less is more". Thank you for providing the thoughtful analysis.
Fat Red Couch had a different challenge as they used the original text and illustrations from my picture book for the app. We wanted the readers to have fun with the interactions, but to stay focused on Lily's story. I'm so glad you think we succeeded.
We plan to do a digital app of my out-of-print picture book, METRO CAT, this year. This time, I'll be cutting and changing the text a bit, more in line with a digital app. We'll still have fun with the twirling and swirling. Sophie is a dancing CAT. Oh yes, we love the dancing animals.
