Myanmar has suffered the longest-running civil war in history, with fighting between the army and ethnic armed groups on-going since the late 1940s. This has led to hundreds of thousands of people being killed and displaced.
In 2011 after half a century of military rule, the army handed power to a civilian government, although military figures still retain strong influence. However, the free and fair elections in November 2015 returned a civilian government headed by Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and are welcomed as a key stepping stone towards peace.
Significant areas of the country, particularly along the borders with Thailand, China and Bangladesh, are contaminated by landmines – primarily anti-personnel – laid by both sides over many decades and other explosive remnants of war, some dating back to World War II. There has been no formal survey, but it is estimated that more than fifty townships are affected – a serious problem for a population which relies on agriculture for subsistence.The principle impact of landmines in Myanmar is in preventing the return of displaced villagers and rural communities. Along Myanmar's international borders, close to 1 million refugees live in refugee camps waiting for the day that they can safely return home. Internally hundreds of thousands of IDPs are also living in camps and new host communities, victims of the perpetual cycles of conflict. Landmines and ERW are often cited by these refugees and IDPs as one of the principle deterrents for return, and there is a desperate need for the land to be cleared. Unfortunately however, work is limited until the government and ethnic groups formally permit mine clearance – which is currently suspended until more progress has been made with the peace negotiations.
HALO has had a limited presence in Myanmar since 2012, establishing contacts and relationships with senior officials and diplomats until the political climate allows work to begin in earnest. The government and most ethnic armed groups are not willing to permit humanitarian mine clearance until there is a formalised nationwide ceasefire to which all parties are signatories. Progress is being made towards this.
Until such time as formal permission for clearance is granted, HALO is working to mitigate the threat by all means possible. Our staff participate in national working groups and have conducted advocacy by providing demonstrations on Humanitarian Mine Action to interested actors from all parties. After receiving full training at HALO Cambodia's programme, senior national members of staff have also passed on their knowledge to new recruits who are currently conducting Mine Risk Education (MRE) operations in Shan and Kayin States. In these states HALO is also providing assistance to victims of landmine accidents. In 2017 HALO deployed some of the first survey teams in the country, who have begun in earnest the process of identifying and mapping hazardous areas to help reduce civilian accidents and enable the safe return of refugees. This is a significant step forward in our ultimate goal of clearing Myanmar of landmines.
Our mission is to realise a mine-free Myanmar through large-scale mine clearance. In the absence of a country-wide survey, there is little indication as to how long this will take. Our work will thus focus on expanding our knowledge and understanding of the contamination through high-quality survey, while continuing to advocate for the benefits that large-scale humanitarian mine clearance can bring. In the meantime we are grateful to our donors UK DFID, the Myanmar Humanitarian Fund (UNOCHA)and Actiefonds Mijnen Ruimen for supporting our MRE and survey operations thus far, but we urgently need additional support to continue our essential work, help end the decades of suffering and allow refugees to return home.
Explosives left behind by fighting can have terrifying consequences for children in Myanmar.
HALO teams to start conducting Non-Technical Survey operations across Kayin and Shan States, in the east of the country.
Sam joined HALO in 2014 as the Operations Support Officer in Laos, responsible for all operational reporting as well as coordinating survey and clearance tasks. He currently represents the HALO programme in Myanmar, overseeing MRE & Survey activities while conducting advocacy across the country with a focus on and enabling the commencement of full-scaleclearance. A graduate of Development Studies at the University of Edinburgh he previously worked for several years with NGOs in Indonesia and Sri Lanka.
HALO's first employee in Myanmar and senior member of national staff, San Win previously served as a Bosun for an international shipping company. San Win received formal HALO training in Cambodia and now spends his time training and managing the next generation of staff in Myanmar. He is keen to commence operations and was involved in the first pilot non-technical survey conducted in Myanmar. He has also invested significant effort into securing partnerships with the varying state, NGO and ethnic actors across the country.
Saung Clein is HALO's Office Manager in Hpa-An, responsible for supporting operations across Kayin State. She joined HALO in 2014 as a Liaison Officer, working with government and ethnic groups to develop a trust and rapport which has allowed HALO to commence operations in the region. Saung Clein received her demining training in HALO's Cambodia programme, and is looking forward to passing this knowledge along to future deminers in Myanmar. Saung Clein previously worked for UNDP/UNOPS, World Vision and holds a L.L.B, and in her spare time enjoys travelling and singing.
Nu Nu is one of HALO Myanmar's oldest employees, having been with the programme since it started in 2012. With a background in commercial management she currently manages the financial, logistical, and administrative aspects of the programme from our Yangon HQ, as well as visiting the field locations whenever possible. When not dealing with administrative matters Nu Nu enjoys travelling with her husband and two daughters.
Ai Aww joined HALO in 2015 as an MRE field officer, and currently is responsible for managing HALO's office in Northern Shan. Ai Aww is passionate about working with local civil society organizations, and is responsible for developing and maintaining a range of partnerships and networks across Northern Shan. A member of the Ta'ang ethnic group, Ai Aww is also keen to ensure that all operations are conducted in a conflict-sensitive manner, and include the perspectives of all stakeholders. She hopes that demining will soon begin in her state, and looks forward to training and deploying humanitarian clearance teams as soon as possible.

Synchronised Skating
Synchronized skating is a team sport where members skate to a program which includes a variety of patterns and formations in unison to music. It is an exciting and beautiful sport to watch and a great way to keep fit, make friends and develop fantastic skating skills.
There are divisions for all ages and levels of ability including Aussie Skate, Novice, Junior, Senior, Adult and Open. Team size and elements skated to music are largely determined by the division a team competes within.
One of Australia's original synchronized skating teams - skating in the Adult Division. Their ages vary from thirty years of age upwards and the team practices on Sunday nights. In 2009, the Dominoes were awarded silver medals at State and National Champsionships. This year, they have already won the gold medal at the State Championships and will aim to compete later in 2010 at the National Championships.

In the early eighties, Williams provided the voices for a whole miriad of characters in the childrens cartoon, Willo the Wisp, invented and brought to life by Nicholas Spargo for the BBC. His face has been immortalised as the the Wisp, narrator of the stories about Doyle Woods (seen above), with all his major character voices appearing somewhere in the show. It is a shame that the audio cassettes that the BBC produced are now unavailable, and that they have not seen fit to re-release them, however, the great news is that some of the series is now available on video and DVD from Kult Kids. They released 12 episodes a couple of years ago, but now they are ALL here for our enjoyment, and for the ludicrously low price of a tenner. The DVD is spectacular with a wonderful menu to view your favourite episode.
Characters included:
Mavis Cruet the Fairy. Alway trying hard to get her spells right, but somehow missing the mark all the time! Arthur the Caterpiller. Doyle Woods' know all with a voice very reminiscent of Arthur from On the Buses.
Evil Edna, the nasty witch of the woods. This was one of the most blatant adverts for TV being a bad influence, and ironically was brought to life by the TV! Moog. My favourite of all the characters. A sort of cross between a dog and a cow (Moo!) and the stupidest inhabitant of the woods.
Twit. A wonderful bird, that in this picture is love-sick. Carwash. Truly inspired cat that strutted around Doyle Woods graces with Kenneths 'Noel Coward' voice - comes a close second to Moog as my Favourite.
The series gave rise to a series of books very similar to the Mr Men range and a couple of annuals. There was also a cartoon strip in Buttons comic for a number of years a page of which can be seen below.
The Hot, Hot Day
The Gnome
The Beauty Contest
The Midas Touch
The Beanstalk
The Thoughts of Moog
The Magnet
The Potion
The Viqueen
Games with Edna
Magic Golf
The Wishbone
Edna's Secret
The Bridegroom
The 'You Know What'
The Chrysalis
The Flight of Mavis
If this wasn't enough, all the episodes were transformed into little books akin to those that have been perpetually available for the Mr Men. There were 26 in all and below is a selection of the covers. I only have 5 of these and must thank Matt Godbolt for kindly taking the time and trouble to scan those that he has. I have included two annuals that I have of the series as well. If anyone has any other books or merchandise relating to the series, can they please contact me so that I may arrange for the details to be included on this page.
I would like to thank Bobbie Spargo for endorsing these pages and wish her luck with trying to get the new prodction off the ground.

Q: System bug in AVPlayer causes player's system wide to stop playing Have little hope that anyone's encountered this, but there seems to be a system wide bug with AVPlayer. I've tested with my app along with other apps, including Pandora.
Namely, and randomly, if you successfully open the app and begin playing, then put the app in the background, perform a variety of random actions, such as playing media in other apps, making a phone call, etc, and try to come back to the app, the AVPlayer's don't play.
I've replicated this many times, though inconsistently, with Pandora and the app that I'm working on.
I've logged my code and have not found any errors in playback. It just doesn't play.
Has anyone else experienced this strange issue? I have spent countless days on it and am now desperate.

A: Looks like the AVFoundation media server is crashing and resetting, causing this problem.

Giselle - Royal Ballet
The peasant girl Giselle discovers the true identity of her lover Albrecht - and that he is promised to another.
Giselle kills herself. Her soul enters the ranks of the Wilis - shades of young women who died before their wedding day. All men that come across their path are compelled to dance themselves to death, and Albrecht falls into their trap. Giselle's intercession saves Albrecht and releases her soul from the Wilis' power.
Giselle is the classic ballet of the Romantic era. It transformed the dance world when it was first performed in Paris in 1841 and remains at the centre of the classical repertory. Giselle's essence has remained the same through many different productions in well over a century of continuous performance. Peter Wright's production for The Royal Ballet is based on Marius Petipa's classic version (after the original 1841 choreography by Jules Perrot and Jean Coralli), which was first staged in St Petersburg in 1884.
The role of Giselle provides the dancer with many technical and dramatic challenges, from the character's early love to her poignant descent into madness and her final gesture of forgiveness from beyond the grave. The first act of the ballet is filled with historical detail and rustic colour. By contrast, the second, 'white' act plunges the audience into an eerie moonlit forest haunted by the ethereal Wilis. With its combination of memorable story and exquisite choreography, Giselle is the perfect way to discover classical ballet.

Google has said it is testing a " smart contact lens " that can help measure glucose levels in tears.
Many global firms have been looking to expand in the wearable technology sector - seen by many as a key growth area in the coming years.
Various estimates have said the sector is expected to grow by between $10bn and $50bn(£6bn and £31bn) in the next five years. Within the sector, many firms have been looking specifically at technology targeted at healthcare. Google ' s latest foray with the smart contact lens is aimed at a sector where consumer demand for such devices is expected to grow.According to the International Diabetes Federation, one in ten people across the world's population are forecast to have diabetes by 2035. People suffering from the condition need to monitor their glucose levels regularly as sudden spikes or drops are dangerous. At present, the majority of them do so by testing drops of blood. Google said it was testing a prototype of the lens that could "generate a reading once per second". "This is an exciting development for preventive healthcare industry," Manoj Menon, managing director of consulting firm Frost & Sullivan told the BBC. "It is likely to spur a range of other innovations towards miniaturizing technology and using it in wearable devices to help people monitor their bodies better." Open innovation? Google said it was working with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to bring the product to mainstream use. It added that it would look for partners "who are experts in bringing products like this to market". Google said it would work with these partners to develops apps aimed at making the measurements taken by the lens available to the wearer and their doctor. Mr Menon said it was "commendable" that Google was willing to work with other partners even before the product was commercially ready. "Their open innovation approach is going to help accelerate the development of this product and get it out to the market much faster," he said. Other firms have also been looking towards wearable products that help monitor the health of the wearer. Earlier this month, a gadget called Sensible Baby was unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. It is a sensor put in an infant's night clothes that tracks their temperature, orientation and movement. It sounds a smartphone app alarm if it detects a problem. Several smartwatches that can monitor data by studying key indicators such as the the wearer's heart rate and temperature have also been launched. Last year, Japanese firm Sony filed a patent for a 'SmartWig', with healthcare cited as one of its potential uses. It said the wig could use a combination of sensors to help collect information such as temperature, pulse and blood pressure of the wearer.

Valentine's Day is approaching and I wanted to make this tutorial for you all. I love this makeup look and am happy to share it with you. Keep reading for some details or watch the video at the bottom of this post.
I started off with the Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance palette. This palette is amazing and if you haven't tried it, you really should.
I used the NYX Slide On eyeliner pencil to line my water line and add a highlight to my inner corner. For the brow bone and inner corner, I used Colourpop Highlighter in Flexitarian.
For my eyeliner I used the NYX Matte Liquid Liner. Using the Laura Geller GlamLash Mascara, I coated my upper and lower lashes before applying the Ardell Lashes Mega Volume #251. For lips, I used the Colourpop Ultra Satin lip in Tiny Chum. Over the top of this lip I added Blo Me Cosmetics Lip Lacquer in the shade Starlet.

Huh! I didn't even know that our Organizing our Knowledge of Biodiversity article had a DOI now (10.1002/bult.2011.1720370411). Although that one doesn't appear to be paywalled (nice), whereas your articles in the ASIST Bulletin do (even for Duke!) (not nice). Is that maybe because of time past publication, or is there some other arrangement that's different?
Thanks for this. I am in the middle of a similar situation, and have a post planned titled exactly the same as yours here. I signed the Cost of Knowledge boycott, but am now a co-author on a paper that is being submitted to Lib and Info Sci Research, an Elsevier journal. The reason I am letting this go is because the lead author is a PhD student and his career depends on being able to publish in the major InfoSci journals, and unfortunately LISR is the one. Also, the faculty member we worked with is on the Editorial Board. So… it puts me in the complicated position of "publishing" with Elsevier for the purposes of supporting my colleagues, and in this instance supporting colleagues is more important. It helps that the paper is about open access archiving, and that we have all agreed that I will do my darndest to negotiate the copyright contract for better terms. Appreciate your honesty and the points about the importance of changing the system from the inside out.

PM Modiji Launched Svamitva Yojana for Property Card @ https://svamitva.nic.in/
Introduction Of Svamitva Yojna
The Government of India has decided to implement the Central Sector scheme "SVAMITVA". The scheme aims to provide an integrated property validation solution for rural India. The demarcation of abadi areas (the abadi area includes inhabitant land, inhabited areas contiguous to Abadi and wadis/basties in rural areas ) would be done using Drone Surveying technology, with the collaborative efforts of the Ministry of Panchayati Raj, State Panchayati Raj Department, State Revenue Departments and Survey of India
This would provide the 'record of rights' to village household owners possessing houses in inhabited rural areas in villages which in turn, would enable them to use their property as a financial asset for taking loans and other financial benefits from Banks. Further, this would also enable updation of property and asset register to strengthen tax collection and demand assessment process of Gram Panchayats.
Thus, the legal record of property holders and issuance of 'Property Cards' to household owners based thereon would facilitate monetization of rural residential assets for the purchase of credit and other financial services. This could also pave the way for clear determination of property tax, which would accrue to the GPs directly in States where it is devolved.
Apart from demarcation of individual rural property, other Gram Panchayat and community assets like village roads, ponds, canals, open spaces, school, Anganwadi, Health sub-centres, etc. would also be surveyed and GIS maps would be created.
Further, these GIS maps and spatial database would also help in preparation of accurate work estimates for various works undertaken by Gram Panchayats and other Departments of State Government. These can also be used to prepare better-quality Gram Panchayat Development Plan (GPDP).
Need for the Scheme
Survey of rural land in India for Settlement and record of rights had last been completed many decades back and moreover, ABADI (inhabited) area of villages were not surveyed/ mapped in many States. Hence, in the absence of a legal document, the owner of the property in the rural areas are not able to leverage their own property as a financial asset acceptable by the banks for the purpose of providing loans and other financial assistance. Therefore, to provide the legal right of the property to the household owner, there is a need of latest Drone Technology and Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS) technology for capturing images.
The Survey of India (Sol) prepares National Topographic database on all scales, leveraging emerging technologies for topographical mapping at various scales as per user requirements using Airborne-Photography, Satellite Imageries (Stereo/Mono), Airborne -LIDAR, High Resolution Satellite Imageries (HRSI), Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAV) or Drone platform with Optical/Infra-Red/LIDAR sensors.
High resolution mapping at very large scales for revenue, urban and water resources requirements has been in forefront for the past 3-4 years and Sol has evolved standard operating procedures for acquiring very high-resolution aerial images and preparing very large-scale maps at 1:500/1,000 scale using Drones.
Mapping of the Rural habitations in partnership with various state governments viz Maharashtra, Haryana, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh etc primarily for use as revenue maps to confer ownership rights has been undertaken by Sol in the past 1-2 years.
Based on these maps or data, property cards have been issued to the citizens viz for Sonari village by govt of Maharashtra and SIRSI village by govt of Haryana. The high resolution and 'accurate image base maps have facilitated creation of the most durable record of property holdings in these areas with no legacy revenue records.
Objectives of the Scheme
The scheme seeks to achieve the following objectives: -
To bring financial stability to the citizens in rural India by enabling them to use their property as a financial asset for taking loans and other financial benefits. Creation of accurate land records for rural planning. Determination of property tax, which would accrue to the GPs directly in States where it is devolved or else, add to the State exchequer. Creation of survey infrastructure and GIS maps that can be leveraged by any department for their use. To support in preparation of better-quality Gram Panchayat Development Plan (GPDP) by making use of GIS maps. To reduce property related disputes and legal cases
Coverage Of This Scheme
There are about 6.62 lakh villages in the country which will be eventually covered in this scheme. The entire work is likely to be spread over a period of four years. Presently, the pilot phase is being approved for the year 2020-21. Pilot Phase will extend to six pilot States (Haryana, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand) covering approx.
1 lakh villages and CORS network establishment is planned for two States (Punjab And Rajasthan). Refer Annexure I for the state wise count of villages covered under pilot phase. The respective State Government would finalise the list of villages at the time of signing Mou with Survey of India
For the States, which have already done Abadi surveys, the scope and the process of the survey will be decided in Phase II (post Pilot Phase), in consultation with the States.

West ramp on left, northwest face on right. Taken from the gondola.
To cap off a lackluster winter, my spring was mostly spent at the computer. Got things backwards and ended a major work contract just as the season is about to end.
I knew there was some quality corn up in them hills, but couldn't be bothered with the extended low snow approaches. Enter Eric Carter, who just got back from 3 months rando racing in Europe.
He got me off the couch by suggesting Sky Pilot's northwest, which I hadn't skied in over 15 years. Don't know what's scarier: skiing a face with full double exposure to cliffs, or being completely out of shape and heading into the mountains with one of the fittest guys in Canada, who also happens to be wearing a speed suit. Certainly the latter.

Climbing the west ramp. Unique lineup of Habrich and Atwell in the background.
An early start had us driving then biking into the alpine. We hit the snow line after a quick hike through old growth. Possibly the best access to the alpine on a low snow year. Regardless of the daytime summer temps of 25C, the snow had frozen overnight. We were way too early for our objective, so we detoured and headed up the west ramp. The skiing was icy but easy.
We then headed over to the northwest and climbed the face in perfect stiff conditions. After reaching the top, we ditched our skis and scrambled up the classic south facing Sky Pilot summit route, which was free of snow. I had never been up that route, and it was fun scrambling around in ski boots. After a lengthy summit lunch, we down-climbed the route, and then relaxed for about another hour on the summit of the face.
Finally we got bored, and I made the first turns out onto the face. The position is classic, with the top turns being super easy, and then the face gradually rolls ever steeper. The snow was perfect grippy cream cheese, which made for easy turns in seriously exposed terrain. Great warm-up for round two the next day . . .
The next day, I finished my ski line and watched Justin Sweeny split board the face.

Athletic linebacker with next-level size and speed numbers. Breaks down well, effectively defeats blocks and quickly locates the ball carrier. Stays with assignments, moves well about the field and shows good recognition of coverage assignments. Somewhat effective out of a three-point stance. Forceful, explosive and plays to his size.
Not a sure-handed tackler. Shows stiffness in his game. Better in the box or up the field.
Donnerson comes with next-level athleticism and was a forceful pass rusher for Southeast Missouri who constantly disrupted the action. He must round out his game and show he's more than a box linebacker but comes with nice upside.

Golden Jubilee and transfer of the mortal remains of Archbishop Lefebvre
by Angelus Press
On September 24th, 2020, the Saint Pius X Seminary, founded in 1970, in Ecône by Archbishop Lefebvre, celebrated its 50th anniversary.
A Pontifical High Mass of Thanksgiving was celebrated by Bishop Bernard Fellay, for this golden jubilee. The transept of the Seminary church was overflowing due to the large number of clergy present, despite the travel restrictions imposed by the epidemic. All the members from the Zaitzkofen Seminary travelled to Econe for the jubilee.
About nine hundred faithful from Switzerland, Germany, France, Italy and several other European countries assisted at the ceremonies, either from inside the church or in the car park, where a giant screen broadcast the ceremony.
After the Mass, the clergy went in procession to the Seminary's cemetery vault where the founder of the Society of Saint Pius X had been laid to rest. From there, the coffin was solemnly transported to the crypt of the Seminary Church, dedicated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. In the crypt, a sarcophagus had been built, opposite the main altar. After the absolution, the coffin was placed in this new tomb.
After the luncheon, the day concluded with several testimonies from various priests present at the opening of the seminary and the projection of a film retracing the fifty years of "The Seminary of Hope".

Travel and How to Find Us
Giant Rooks
We're thrilled to welcome German band Giant Rooks back to Head for the Hills following their huge success at 2017's festival.
With their second EP New Estate, the band from Hamm have performed over 200 concerts in the last two years and it appears as though audiences can't get enough of them: despite several major venue changes, their European tour in February and March of this year was completely sold out. It included shows in London, Manchester, Berlin, and Amsterdam.
Although the band was only founded as recently as 2014, it has already been compared to international greats such as Arcade Fire and Alt-J, as well as being recognised as the hottest newcomer from the German indie scene.
The five band members create their own, impressive musical world with artistic, experimental sounds, combined with poppy elements, in which one can so wonderfully lose oneself – all this is carried by Frederik Rabes gruff vocals, that do not pretend to have matured with dignity, although they certainly sound like it. Giant Rooks are a band with fervor and talent at work; they are completely comfortable with themselves, and verify that good songwriting is not age-dependent.
This summer Giant Rooks perform at numerous festivals, again proving that they are ready for the great stages of Europe.

The 2017 Kia Sedona boasts a noise-free, posh cabin. Moreover, the ride gets a reasonable safety and reliability scorecard but goes downhill with a snugly riding experience. Nonetheless, poor handling and a weak powertrain still remain 2 major concerns with the 2017 iteration of the Kia Sedona.
Beneath the bonnet, the Sedona packs a 3.3L 6-cylinder engine. It allows the ride to spare 276 horsepower and 248 lb.-ft. of torque. For shifting gears, the 7-seater features a standard 6-speed automatic transmission mode.
The Honda Odyssey and Chrysler Pacifica Minivan give a fierce run for money to the Sedona. Toyota Sienna also competes with this 3-row coupe. Though its rivals offer better family-friendly features, Sedona outshines the competition with spacious seating, comfortable ride quality, and a multitude of options.
The L, LX, EX, SX, and SX Limited are the 5 trims available for the 2017 Kia Sedona. Each trim comes with a forward-wheel-drive system. Unfortunately, there is no option for upgrading to an all-wheel-drive system on any trim. L is the basic trim and SX Limited is the top-end trim. Pricing options for the two trims start from $26,900 and $41,900, respectively.
Four-speaker sound system with a USB input.
Eight-speaker Infinity premium audio system.
A blind-spot monitoring system with rear cross-traffic alert is also included.
Heated steering wheel and a household power outlet.
The L and LX trim comes with standard 17-inch alloy wheels. EX and SX trims, on the other hand, flaunts standard 18-inch wheels. The SX Limited trim comes with 19-inch wheels as standard. While L and LX trim offer a 5-inch infotainment display, EX trim packs a 7-inch infotainment display screen. SX and SX Limited trims offer a bigger 8-inch infotainment display. A surround-view camera system comes standard with the top-end i.e. SX Limited trim.
EX trim offers the most value for money. For those looking to get the most out of Kia Sedona might opt for the SX Limited, the high-end, trim.
The 2017 Kia Sedona has the lowest engine capacity, of 3.3L, in the class. Its 276 hp is greater than that of 248 hp offered by the Honda Odyssey. Nonetheless, Pacifica Minivan and Toyota Sienna features a greater 287 and 296 hp of power. Sedona's 248 lb.-ft. of torque is least in the class.
The Toyota Sienna offers the most torque of 263 lb.-ft. in the competition. The Sedona comes with a 6-speed automatic transmission mode. Honda Odyssey also shares the same transmission option. Sienna and Pacifica Minivan flaunts an 8-speed and 9-speed auto transmission mode, respectively.
The 2017 incarnation of the Kia Sedona is able to accelerate to 60 MPH in 7.6 seconds. Though sluggish, it's better than 7.8 seconds taken by the Chrysler Pacifica Minivan. The Honda Odyssey offers the fastest acceleration though. It takes 6.6 seconds for hitting 60 MPH.
The 2017 Kia Sedona hits the quarter-mile light at 15.9 seconds. This is the slowest among the class rivals. Honda Odyssey, once again, is the fastest 7-seater in the league to cover a quarter-mile. It requires 15 seconds for accomplishing the same.
The hearty V6 engine produces enough power for the 2017 Kia Sedona to comfortably trip around towns. Though the ride starts feeling exhausted as soon as you hit the highways or start going up the hill. The Sedona promises to offer a comfortable ride even on long tours.
Handling is poor and Kia Sedona starts feeling heavier around turns. The ride employs a standard strut suspension that, frankly, doesn't make the performance any better.
Kia equipped the Sedona with the smallest rear brake size of 11.9 inches in the competition and the front rotor is rated at 12.6 inches. The ride is bulkiest among its class rivals with a curb weight of 4414 lbs. The braking power is average, however.
During emergency brake test, Sedona requires a distance of 125 feet for coming to a complete halt when decelerated frantically from 60 MPH. This is the best halting distance among its class rivals.
The 2017 avatar of the Kia Sedona disappoints on the economy front. The ride delivers 18 mpg in cities, 24 mpg on highways, and 20 mpg overall. All its competitors offer a better-combined fuel economy.
Both the Chrysler Pacifica Minivan and the Honda Odyssey features a better-combined economy of 22 mpg.
With a spacious and roomy interior at its disposal, the Sedona is capable of seating 7 people. Moreover, there is an optional 2nd-row seating that allows for extending the maximum passenger capacity to 8. Headroom and legroom available in the front of the triple-row ride are 39.8 and 40.9 inches, respectively. While the headroom is ample, it is greater only than the 39.7 inches offered by the Honda Odyssey.
The Second-row headroom and legroom available on the Kia Sedona are 39.4 and 41.4 inches, respectively. Once again, the headroom, despite being ample, is least amongst the competition. Legroom, however, is better than any other car in the league. The 2017 Kia Sedona flaunts a headroom and legroom of 38.9 and 34.8 inches, respectively in the 3rd-row. This time, headroom is on the higher side but legroom is the tightest.
The L and LX trims get a 5-inch infotainment display, while EX trim comes with a 7-inch infotainment display. SX and SX Limited trims come installed with the same infotainment system but with a bigger 8-inch display. The system is intuitive, nonetheless, on all trims.
Connectivity via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi is supported by the infotainment system. Additionally, USB ports are available. The Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support are now available on all trims.
Though not exceptional, cargo capacity offered by the Kia Sedona can be labeled as decent. The ride gets 142 cubic feet of cargo volume to seats 1. The Toyota Sienna offers 150 cubic feet, the most, of the same.
However, the cargo volume to seats 2 and seats 3 for 2017 Kia Sedona is 78.4 and 33.9 cubic feet, respectively. While the Honda Odyssey offers the most 93.1 cubic feet of cargo volume to seats 2, cargo volume to seats 3 chart is topped by Sienna with 39.1 cubic feet.
The 2017 Kia Sedona measures a length, width, and height of 201.4, 78.1, and 68.5 inches, respectively. Compared to a typical 7-seater, Kia Sedona has a compact build. While the length is greater only to 200.2 inches of Toyota Sienna, the width is the least amongst its class rivals. Honda Odyssey and Chrysler Pacifica Minivan have the least and most height of 68.4 and 69.9 inches, respectively.
Kia Sedona features an impressive ground clearance of 6.7 inches. In fact, it is the most amongst the class rivals. Honda Odyssey has the least ground clearance of 4.5 inches. Toyota Sienna, on the other hand, gives a close competition to Sedona with 6.5 inches of the same. Wheelbase for the 2017 Kia Sedona is 120.5 inches, more than that offered by the Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna. The Chrysler Pacifica Minivan supports the most wheelbase of 121.6 inches.
The 2017 avatar of the Kia Sedona flaunts a strong safety and reliability scorecard. The ride gets a 4-star rating for rollover and 5-star rating for rest NHTSA parameters. 2017 Kia Sedona is awarded "Good" rating for roof strength and side strength.
2017 Kia Sedona flaunts a "Superior" front crash prevention. The ride comes with ESC, TCS, HAC, and EBD as standard safety and reliability features.
With a robust 3.6L 6-cylinder engine at its disposal, the Chrysler Pacifica Minivan offers an impressive 287 horsepower. The capable engine also produces a respectable 262 lb.-ft. of torque. Unlike Kia Sedona, Pacifica Minivan comes with a 9-speed automatic transmission mode.
The Pacifica has slower 0-60 acceleration than the Sedona. Nonetheless, the ride covers a quarter-mile 0.8 seconds faster than that of the Sedona. Pacifica also offers a better-combined fuel economy of 22 mpg. Pricing options for the ride start from $28,995, on the other hand, the Sedona is a cheaper option.
The Odyssey proudly wears the Honda name and is one of the pricy vans in the segment. It manages to give a tough time to the 2017 Kia Sedona. The ride is backed a 3.5L 6-cylinder engine. It is capable of delivering 248 hp of power along with 250 lb.-ft. of torque. The Odyssey relies on a 6-speed automatic transmission.
Honda Odyssey has the best 0-60 MPH acceleration among its class rivals. The ride does so in 6.6 seconds. Moreover, Odyssey covers a quarter-mile in 15 seconds. The 7-seater has 4.5 and 118.1 inches of ground clearance and wheelbase, respectively, giving it a shorter turning radius.
The opening bid for the Toyota Sienna is $29,750. Like Honda Odyssey, the ride employs a 3.5L 6-cylinder engine. However, in this case, the engine generates 296 hp of power and 263 lb.-ft. of torque. Both feats are the maximum amongst the class.
Toyota Sienna accelerates to 60 MPH in 7 seconds, making it slower only to the Honda Odyssey. The ride requires 128 feet for coming to a complete halt while decelerating constantly from 60 MPH. The Sienna offers the best-in-league headroom in the front and second-row.
The 2017 Kia Sedona offers a great value for money with all its trims. Moreover, with a total of 5 trims at its disposal, there are plenty of options that a buyer can mull over. Unlike its class rivals, 2017 Kia Sedona isn't a strict 7-seater. In fact, you can opt for the optional 2nd-row upgrade to let it accommodate 8 persons.
Despite showing a pitiful performance and a sluggish acceleration, the Sedona prioritizes comfort. May it is a trivial ride or a long cruise, the ride allows passengers to stay in their comfort zone.

Are you responsible for store design, facility maintenance, new construction projects, or energy costs for your company? Lighting is one of the most significant consumers of energy that, regardless of your role in your company, you probably have to deal with at some point. With the growth in LED, manufacturers all across the globe are promoting how much you can save by retrofitting to LED lighting, but why are their claims of savings so different? Can you trust the savings and the numbers they propose? Do the numbers seem too good to be true?
Transparency is critical when determining which manufacturers you should partner with. We have assembled a series of step-by-step guides for calculating savings and financial returns for your lighting projects. There are a number of factors to consider but we will do our best to light your way through the complexities. Here are some of the terms and calculations you may encounter and brief descriptions of what they mean.
The most conservative calculation for energy savings when you are evaluating a lighting retrofit project is to look at the energy savings from the wattage reduction. This represents the bulk of the savings you will capture on most retrofit projects and it is also the most straightforward calculation. Further, it is to be trusted. It's plain science and math.
Another potential area for energy savings on an interior lighting retrofit is the reduced load on your HVAC system due to lower wattage lighting. Fewer watts of lighting naturally result in less heat for the HVAC system to cool. Older incandescent and halogen bulbs put off a significant amount of heat. If you cool the space where you are retrofitting lighting, this is worth considering. Keep in mind that the savings only apply during months when you have to run air conditioning.
A couple of the major benefits of LED lighting are long life and minimal maintenance. If you are replacing older technologies like incandescent, halogen or compact fluorescent that have a lifespan of 1,500 to 15,000 hours, you will likely save money from not having to buy replacement products nearly as often.
Since LED lighting has a typical lifespan of 35,000 to 100,000 hours, you may significantly reduce your cost of labor by not having to pay someone to replace burned-out products as often. This area of savings depends largely on how you maintain your building and how you divvy up the responsibility of commercial lighting maintenance.
Learn more about commercial lighting maintenance.
Tallying up a big savings number is fun, but return on investment and payback calculations convert savings to real benefit for your business. Since these numbers often go to the executive suite, we have a guide to help make these calculations clear.
One of the most important things you can do if someone shows you a savings estimate for a potential project is to ask for the step-by-step calculations as well as the assumptions that were used. The great news is that an investment in a lighting retrofit project very often yields a return on invested capital that far exceeds most companies available investment options.
Many of the companies we work with look at savings, operations, and paybacks differently.
