Review of SEAT Ibiza

SEAT Ibiza - a fancy car. Bright appearance, expressive features of the body attracts the eye, causing the form to learn a little more closely. In 2012, the vehicle was restyled - to design a hand Belgian Luc Donkervolke. Have not heard? Look for photos of Lamborghini Murcielago. That's just let's look at what the company has prepared us to SEAT in this car, with a loud and bright name of Ibiza.

1. Extremely rapid and aggressive appearance. Hood rassekyut three lines of prey, side stroke of the machine adds mounds of muscle in the front wings.

2. Eyelashes (called cilia they do not turn the language) with an aggressive squint and look at the road traffic participants.

3. In the Russian offer several body variants: a three-door Sport Coupe, Sport Tourer wagon and five-door hatchback.

4. The rear part.

5. Those who are familiar with the products of the German company Volkswagen would seem that some elements of the machine resembles a VW Polo. Do not be surprised - the 1986 concert Seat came under their control, and since then feels very good.

6. Look at these two lines along the body. A short left hook - a long right hook.

7. Do not get in the way - eat!

8. But as they say, meet on clothes, and escorted by impressions. We sit inside the cabin. Rear passengers will be cramped.

9. If in appearance I did not have issues, in the interior of visible flaws in ergonomics. Cupholders are located deep inside - to reach out to them is not easy. And the hidden buttons for gear knob. What for? Push extremely uncomfortable.

10. Visually pleasing to the eye, the touch plastic is very tough and surly. And the quality of finish - not the ultimate dream. Although no serious criticism - the joints are smooth, almost no gaps. But the overall impression is ambiguous. 
Immediately struck by lighting color - it is bright red, which is against the black instrument gives the desired effect - a bullfight, corrida. We soon realize that the car is not from France. Spain - her family home. 
Yet it is worth noting seat material - it is very easily soiled. Every drop of water leaves an indelible mark on them. So fans of purity better prepare cases.

China Bad Air จีน: อากาศเป็นพิษ

China's Skies: Toxic levels of pollution
มลพิษเต็มท้องฟ้าสาธารณรัฐประชาชนจีน


มกราคม 2556                                                

No country in history has become a major industrial power without creating a legacy of environmental damage. China is clearly not an exception. The speed and scale of China's rise has brought an unprecedented pollution problem. Public health is reeling. Pollution has made cancer China's leading cause of death according to the Ministry of Health. Ambient air pollution alone is blamed for hundreds of thousands of deaths each year. The factories and spewing automobile engines recently caused hundreds of flights to be cancelled in and around Beijing. Stores are selling out of face masks and the government struggles to figure out this political challenge and provide relief of the long-term burden on its people. -- Paula Nelson

Battle for Aleppo intensifies Syrian conflict

With 200,000 fleeing Aleppo, fighting in Syria intensified in the 16-month long struggle opposing the rule of Bashar al-Assad. While fighting still grips Homs after a brutal siege, the conflict has moved north to finally include commercial hub Aleppo - largely spared until now - a city of over two million. Both the Syrian army and the rebel Free Syrian Army claim advances in the battle for Aleppo, which began in earnest over the weekend. More pockets of conflict rage in other locations within Syria as well. Gathered here are images made available in the last week from Syria, where independent news coverage has been limited and difficult. Some of the images are from third parties and transmitted without confirmation via international wire services as they were received. -- Lane Turner (32 photos total)

In flight

                                          SOURCE :    http://www.boston.com

The desire to float on the breeze is a strong one. The illusion of escaping gravity, however briefly, has driven mankind in myriad attempts at flight. The animals that achieve this are the subject of envy, study, and imitation. Flying, falling, or floating, the following images show us joyfully escaping the bounds of gravity, even if just for a moment. [Editors' note: There will be no Big Picture entries for the week of August 27, 2012. We will return with regular posts on Wednesday, September 5, 2012.]-- Lane Turner
