The levels of noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) in the Magentis's cabin are particularly low, thanks to a studied programme of measures.
These include sound-proofing foam in hollow sections of the bodyshell; the use of front and rear subframes for mounting the suspension; a thick under-bonnet sound-absorbing pad; insulation pads on the cabin floor, in the door cavities and on the bulkhead between the engine bay and passenger cell; triple-layer rubber seals and weather strips around the doors and windows; and aerodynamically refined door mirror shrouds and mountings.
The revised Kia Magentis benefits from extra NVH insulation at the front and rear, thanks to the new suspension top mounts.

Back to "A Study in Blues Piano" contents
How are those blues licks coming along? Comments and questions are always welcome!
Today I present Lick Number Five, which is formally called the "Ba-do-dee you bop" lick. That is some academic terminology right there, and you know that I did not make it up.
Ha-ha. As with Lick #2, I named this lick with syllables that match each note of the pattern, so that you can sing the name of the lick as you practice it, which is a really good way to get the feel of it. You might want to read the lesson description for Lick #2 for more insight on that singing idea.

Surprise, surprise. We've selected yet another one of the Wall Street Journal's Best Small Workplaces to be featured on One Day, One Job. That's three in a row for those of you who are counting. We can't express enough how helpful lists like these can be to your job search. Almost as helpful as Rainforest Alliance is to saving the rainforest. They're a non-profit organization that "works to conserve biodiversity and ensure sustainable livelihoods by transforming land-use practices, business practices and consumer behavior." How do they do this? By working directly with farmers, workers, business leaders, NGO's, governments, scientists and local communities to change the way that they do agriculture to make land use more socially and environmentally responsible while maintaining its economic viability.
Were you one of those kids who had a "Save the Rainforest" sticker on you Trapper Keeper? Have you always loved tree frogs and jaguars? Have you always wanted to take a job that will make the world a better place? You know what we're going to tell you if you answered yes to any of those question, but here's what you may not have considered. There are a lot of environmental organizations that take an anti-business approach to conservation. There are also a lot of non-profits that won't help you build the business skills that you'll need if you want to transition into a for-profit career. Rainforest Alliance works directly with businesses to certify their practices in Agriculture, Forestry, and Tourism and to help them take a greener approach. This business mindedness isn't just relevant to how Rainforest Alliance pursues their mission of sustainability, it's also part of how they develop their people – they have a strong focus on career development according to the WSJ article.
So you had one of those stickers on your Trapper Keeper, huh? Well if you're interested in Jobs with Rainforest Alliance, you're in luck, because there are a lot of them. Most of their jobs require 3-5 years of experience, but we've picked out the ones that seem doable for new college grads. In New York City they're looking for a Finance Assistant, an Associate, Office of the President, and a Web Associate, and a Marketing Coordinator (US and Canada), Sustainable Tourism Division (This last one requires 3-5 years of experience, but it sounds so cool that we had to include. Consider it something to look forward to.) In Bolivia, they're looking for a Certification Administrative Assistant, SmartWood Program, Sustainable Forestry Division and a Forestry Technical Assistant, Initiative for Conservation in the Andean Amazon (ICAA) Project. In Costa Rica Rainforest Alliance is hiring a Technical Assistant, Sustainable Tourism Division, a Program Assistant, Sustainable Tourism Division, and an Evaluation and Research Associate. Finally, in Guatemala they need a Project Associate, Environmental Services Payment Project, TREES Program and in Nicaragua they're looking for a Technical Associate, Sustainable Agriculture Division. Each job description goes into depth about what you will be doing in the job, and Rainforest Alliance's Careers site is simple to navigate if you want to browse through all of their listings. To apply for any of the jobs, you can use the online application form found at the bottom of each job description or you can e-mail your cover letter and resume to email@example.com.
