SCENE 2010 – the Sydney Congress for Embracing the New Evangelisation – saw Martin Place, Sydney become a festival of faith for young people this week. The week-long celebration began with “Catholic Underground” with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, and the launch of Cradio, Catholic radio online.

“Blending traditional with contemporary prayer and music the evening then moved into full swing with a superb performance of uniquely Catholic faith-inspired rock music by the friars and Set Apart music ministry from Wollongong,”

said Elizabeth Peoples of the CREDO office of the Sydney archdiocese.

“Attendance at SCENE has been terrific, with venues comfortably full at Catholic Underground, SCENE’s family day and the evening pub talks.”

Buddy and Houda Jilwan, a couple who attended the SCENE family day, said they enjoyed the day, particularly the talk on marriage.

“The kids had a good time and we loved the opportunity to participate in Mass, the Marian procession and listening to Michael and Trisha Casey. They were great.”

This was followed by an afternoon workshop on street evangelisation presented by Fr Dave Gallaghan, and Fr Antoine of the St John Community, France. A series of pub talks at the St James Hotel, Star Bar and Sanctuary Hotel in the city have attracted large audiences, including Lucy O’Connell’s presentation ‘Re -fashioning Womanhood’, and Br Max Sculley’s ‘Is Yoga, Tai Chi and Reiki good for the soul?’.

“Feedback from the pub talks has been great,” Elizabeth said. “You could hear a pin drop when she gave her testimony.

Most people seemed quite gobsmacked.” Recordings of the pub talks will be available on the Xt3 website

A new carmaker has a plan for cheap, environmentally friendly cars to be built all over the country
An air-powered car? It may be available sooner than you think at a price tag that will hardly be a budget buster. The vehicle may not run like a speed racer on back road highways, but developer Zero Pollution Motors is betting consumers will be willing to fork over $20,000 for a vehicle that can motor around all day on nothing but air and a splash of salad oil, alcohol or possibly a pint of gasoline.

The expertise needed to build a compressed air car, or CAV, is not rocket science, either. Years-old, off-the-shelf technology uses compressed air to drive old-fashioned car engine pistons instead of combusting gas or diesel fuel to create a burst of air to do the same thing. Indian carmaker Tata has no qualms about the technology. It has already bought the rights to make the car for the huge Indian market.
The air car can tool along at a top speed of 35 mph for some 60 miles or so on a tank of compressed air, a sufficient distance for 80% of consumers to commute to work and back and complete daily chores.

On highways, the CAV can cruise at interstate speeds for nearly 800 miles with a small motor that compresses outside air to keep the tank filled. The motor isn’t finicky about fuel. It will burn gasoline or diesel as well as biodiesel, ethanol or vegetable oil.
This car leaves the highest-mpg vehicles you can buy right now in the dust. Even if it used only regular gasoline, the air car would average 106 mpg, more than double today’s fuel sipping champ, the Toyota Prius. The air tank also can be refilled when it’s not in use by being plugged into a wall socket and recharged with electricity as the motor compresses air.
Automakers aren’t quite ready yet to gear up huge assembly line operations churning out air cars or set up glitzy dealer showrooms where you can ooh and aah over the color or style. But the vehicles will be built in factories that will make up to 8,000 vehicles a year, likely starting in 2011, and be sold directly to consumers.
There will be plants in nearly every state, based on the number of drivers in the state. California will have as many as 17 air car manufacturing plants, and there’ll be around 12 in Florida, eight in New York, four in Georgia, while two in Connecticut will serve that state and Rhode Island.

The technology goes back decades, but is coming together courtesy of two converging forces. First, new laws are likely to be enacted in a few years that will limit carbon dioxide emissions and force automakers to develop ultra-high mileage cars and those that emit minuscule amounts of or no gases linked with global warming. Plug-in electric hybrids will slash these emissions, but they’ll be pricey at around $40,000 each and require some changes in infrastructure — such as widespread recharge stations — to be practical. Fuel cells that burn hydrogen to produce only water vapor still face daunting technical challenges.
Second, the relatively high cost of gas has expedited the air car’s development. Yes, pump prices have plunged since July from record levels, but remain way higher than just a few years ago and continue to take a bite out of disposable income. Refiners will face carbon emission restraints, too, and steeply higher costs will be passed along at the pump.
Zero Pollution Motors doesn’t plan to produce the cars in the U.S. Instead, it plans to charge $15 million for the rights to the technology, a fully built turnkey auto assembly plant, tools, machinery, training and rights to use trademarks.
The CAV has a big hurdle: proving it can pass federal crash tests. Shiva Vencat, president and CEO of Zero Pollution Motors, says he’s not worried. "The requirements can be modeled [on a computer] before anything is built and adjusted to ensure that the cars will pass" the crash tests. Vencat also is a vice president of MDI Inc., a French company that developed the air car.
The inventor of this technology is Mr. Guy Negre, who is the founder and CEO of MDI SA, a company headquartered in Luxembourg with its R and D in Nice, France.

Best way to do this assignment is to break it down into bite-size pieces. Take each paragraph and jot down the most important point(s) in it. For example:

An air-powered car? It may be available sooner than you think at a price tag that will hardly be a budget buster. The vehicle may not run like a speed racer on back road highways, but developer Zero Pollution Motors is betting consumers will be willing to fork over $20,000 for a vehicle that can motor around all day on nothing but air and a splash of salad oil, alcohol or possibly a pint of gasoline.

becomes:

Zero Pollution Motors is developing an air-powered car that will cost $20,000 and run all day on nothing but air and a bit of salad oil, alcohol or a pint of gasoline.

Do the same for each paragraph. Now you’ll have a condensed version and, more importantly, it will be in your own words.

Then shorten ever more, if possible.

I don’t know much about solar power so my question might seem stupid to some, but I’m really curious.
if we can get internet info from satellites, can’t we get power?

ACTUALLY i think NASA has figured out a way to beam down the electricity using microwaves

or radio waves maybe

but the collectors are HUGE like .5 miles across

I don’t have the article, but read it last week. The author basically states that driving to the store is more environmentally friendly than walking. His premise is:

The calories burned while walking, and the food required to replace those calories put more greenhouse gases into the air than are put into the air from the gasoline burned by the car for the same trip.

His calculations factor in the farm machinery used to grow the food, the fertilizer used to fertilize the food, the trucks used to ship the food, the power required to chill/freeze the food at the grocery store, and the energy used to drive to the store to go grocery shopping, and the energy used to refrigerate the food at home.

What do you think?

I think he’s trying to garner attention.

Way too many variables to calculate here, including intangibles. What food is being purchased? What condition is the person making the trip? Are they properly hydrated, and what food/fuel did they consume to make the trip? What fuel did they replace it with? Did the Dr. order them to get exercise and do weight-bearing exercise? What vehicle are you driving? Is the food going to be refrigerated?

No, I’ve not read the study, but although it brings up a valid point, it oversimplifies to the point of becoming meaningless.

Still, it may warrant additional study to see if the results can be repeated.

Good question, thanks.
