Might you be considering a luxury sports coupe for your next daily driver? Well, if so, we here at Kuni Automotive believe you should make a point to give one of our latest arrivals, the 2017 BMW M2, a go.

Want proof?

Well, you're sure to find plenty throughout the clip below, a video review of the M2 from AutoGuide.com Features Editor Sami Haj-Assaad. Have at it:

The marquee event of the M2 is without a doubt its turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine. Kicking out a colossal 365 horsepower and 343 pound-feet of torque, the engine teams with a six-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, meanwhile, is optional.

Also sure to make you smile is its 0-to-60 mph sprint time; a DCT-equipped M2, for instance, arrives there in a blistering 4.1 seconds.

So, what's the delay, loyal reader? The time is now to experience the splendor of this speedster. As such, we invite you to pop by our Vancouver, WA facility, whereupon we'll happily arrange a test drive in the M2, or any other BMW model that's engendered your interest.

Congratulations on finally purchasing that new vehicle you have always wanted or needed. Buying a new automobile is a very satisfying experience.

Your vehicle maintenance schedule is one of the most important tools to keep your new automobile in optimal running condition. Neglecting these "small" things can decrease fuel efficiency and even pose safety hazards. This is why you should always stick to the guidelines of the automobile manufacturer as to when to have the automobile serviced. Our service technicians can assist you with this. Give us a call or check out our service page today and get your vehicle serviced. Whether you need routine maintenance or something bigger, our highly trained technicians can help.
 2017-02-14T19:21:05Z 2017 BMW 7 Series Epitomizes Full-Size Luxury Sedan Splendor http://www.kuniauto.com/blog/2017/february/9/2017-bmw-7-series-epitomizes-full-size-luxury-sedan-splendor.htm?locale=en_US

We here at Kuni Automotive have to tip our cap to BMW: it delivered a doozy of a full-size luxury sedan with the 2017 7 Series.

Yet, what -- specifically -- makes it so?

Get the need-to-know details from carwow reviewer Mat Watson. Join him for his assessment of the 7 Series right here:

Talk about a brilliant base trim -- the entry-level 740i is all that and a bag of chips!

Standard features on this model include 18-inch wheels and run-flat tires, adaptive LED headlamps, a dual-panel panoramic sunroof, an adaptive air suspension, adjustable drive and suspension settings, power-closing doors, quad-zone climate control, leather upholstery, as well as 10-way power-adjustable heated front seats (with four-way power lumbar).

If you'd like to meet this big-bodied beaut "in the metal," or wish to put one through its paces on the open road, we encourage you to pay us a visit at our Vancouver, WA location. Upon your stopover, we'll be sure to set you up with a test drive in the 7 Series, or any other BMW model that's made your short list.

 2017-02-09T17:25:17Z 2017 BMW 5 Series Shows Off for KBB.com Team http://www.kuniauto.com/blog/2017/january/23/2017-bmw-5-series-shows-off-for-i-kbb-com-i-team.htm?locale=en_US

If you're seeking a midsize luxury sedan that's every bit as stylish as it is substantive, we here at Kuni Automotive feel you may well meet your match in BMW's latest, the all-new 2017 5 Series.

And why is that, exactly?

Receive some insight from Kelley Blue Book Senior Associate Video Editor Zach Vlasuk. His appraisal of the 5 Series is as follows:

On the base 530i trim, the 5 Series receives a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine as standard. Pairing with an eight-speed automatic transmission, this entry-level engine makes a healthy 248 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque.

The range-topping 540i model, meanwhile, is in another league entirely. Outfitted with a twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder, the 540i generates a goliath 335 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque.

If you'd like to learn more about this fine four-door, or wish to get behind the wheel of one, we encourage you to drop by our Vancouver, WA dealership. Our automotive aficionados are ready to answer your every question about the 5 Series, or any other BMW model within the present portfolio.

 2017-01-23T15:45:29Z Autotrader Revels in Refreshed 2017 BMW i3 http://www.kuniauto.com/blog/2017/january/11/i-autotrader-i-revels-in-refreshed-2017-bmw-i3.htm?locale=en_US

Though we here at Kuni Automotive would certainly understand if you've never previously considered owning a luxury hatchback, we also believe that the 2017 BMW i3 may well be the one to change all that for you.

Wondering why we feel as we do?

Then, check the clip below. Here now to highlight some of the i3's choicest qualities is Autotrader critic Jabari Jones:

No doubt its main event, the i3's drivetrain is downright incredible. Its electric motor is fed by a 22-kilowatt-hour battery, producing a very peppy 170 horsepower. In this regard, it is very much an outlier to the rest of the EV market, as most others are nowhere near as zippy as the i3.

And it's certainly no slouch on the fuel-economy front, either, as the i3 is expected to return a staggering 81 miles of all-electric range.

To learn more about this head-turning hatch, or to take one for a spin, we suggest you set a course for our Vancouver, WA location. Our automotive aces are on hand to address your every query about the i3, or any other BMW model within the current lineup.

 2017-01-11T16:13:37Z 2016 VW Passat Steals Autotrader Staffers' Hearts http://www.kuniauto.com/blog/2016/october/13/2016-vw-passat-steals-i-autotrader-i-staffers-hearts.htm?locale=en_US
Have you had a chance to check out the 2016 Volkswagen Passat, our esteemed German automaker's sedan-segment staple? Well, if not, we here at Kuni Automotive hate to break it to you, but:

You quite likely are missing out.

Not to worry, though, as we have every intention of bringing you up to speed today. Pair up with Autotrader pundit Debra Shigley to witness the Passat in action:

It's tough to find fault with an entry-level engine like the Passat's. Served up standard with every trim but the top-tier V6 SEL Premium, this turbo 1.8-liter four-cylinder makes a healthy 170 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. It teams with a six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive.

Also sure to make you smile is its fuel efficiency. Rated at a robust 29 mpg combined (25 city/38 highway), the Passat 1.8T sips gas much like one would a fine wine.

If you'd like to learn more about this fun family vehicle, or wish to get behind the wheel of one, we encourage you to drop by our Vancouver, WA dealership. Our automotive aficionados are ready to answer your every question about the Passat, or any other VW model within the present portfolio.
 2016-10-13T16:08:22Z The Lexus UX Concept Car Debuts At 2016 Paris Motor Show September 29 http://www.kuniauto.com/blog/2016/september/9/the-lexus-ux-concept-car-debuts-at-2016-paris-motor-show-september-29.htm?locale=en_US The 2016 Paris Motor Show is a much-anticipated event, and Lexus just announced that its newest concept vehicle, the Lexus UX Concept, will make its debut at the event on September 29.

  Never one to rest on their laurels, Lexus is constantly re-imagining and improving upon the legendary luxury and performance you've come to expect from Lexus. Other models making appearances at the Paris Motor Show include the newly refreshed Lexus IS, the new Lexus NX Sport Edition, and the brand's new flagship coupe, the LC. While you may not be able to make it to France for the 2016 Paris Motor Show, Kuni Lexus currently has an unparalleled selection of exceptional new and pre-owned Lexus vehicles in our inventory.

Now widely recognized as one of the finest automotive brands in the world, Lexus continues to encourage new ideas and innovative thinking not only amongst the teams that build their legendary automobiles, but amongst students all over the United States with the Lexus Eco Challenge. Now in its tenth year, the Lexus Eco Challenge is an educational program and contest for students in grades 6-12 in the U.S.; $500,000 in prize money is available for participants in this exciting contest. Together with Scholastic, the global children's publishing, education, and media company, Lexus's STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) program encourages students to learn about the environment and inspires them to empower themselves by taking action to improve the world around them.

But, did you know that seasonal services are also recommended to keep automobiles running well in spite of changes in seasons and driving conditions? As fall approaches, we have some service recommendations that will ensure your Lexus offers you the most flawless driving experience possible. Rainy days are more plentiful in the fall, and how much tread you have on your tires affects their performance in the rain. Without enough tread depth, your vehicle won't be able to grip the road properly, and in wet conditions, insufficient tread depth can lead to an accident. Now is a great time of year to check your tires' tread.

Hang in there, the #weekend is right around the corner. #LexusRC #FridayFeeling pic.twitter.com/RZPPB81oct
 — Lexus (@Lexus) August 12, 2016
  You can check your tires yourself quickly and easily by using a Lincoln penny. Simply insert the penny – using the side with Abe's head – in a couple of spots on each tire. If you can see the entire top of his head, your tread is less than one-sixteenth of an inch deep, and you're ready for new tires. Kuni Lexus has a parts and service center that can perform all of your service needs (including new tires!), and is staffed by skilled, factory-trained technicians. You can even schedule your appointment online. This fall, check your tires and other systems, and visit your nearest Kuni Lexus location for all of your Lexus parts and service needs. 2016-08-17T21:07:39Z Autotrader Names the Lexus L/Certified Program as the Best CPO Program of the Luxury Brands http://www.kuniauto.com/blog/2016/august/4/autotrader-names-the-lexus-l-certified-program-as-the-best-cpo-program-of-the-luxury-brands.htm?locale=en_US The lure of a sumptuous luxury vehicle is strong for some drivers, but not everyone wants to make the investment. Sure, you can find used Lexus at many dealerships, but purchasing a Certified Pre Owned Lexus through the Lexus L/Certified program puts luxury auto ownership along with great Lexus benefits within reach for many customers. Now, Lexus enthusiasts who already appreciate the quality and longevity of the Lexus brand have another reason to celebrate. Autotrader.com recently reviewed several pre-owned programs, and named Lexus's L/Certified as the best certified pre-owned program of the luxury brands.

#LCertified by Lexus is the "Best Luxury Certified Pre-Owned Program" says @Autotrader_com. https://t.co/AxbzwWHQix pic.twitter.com/5WLgTI0uX4
 — Lexus (@Lexus) August 1, 2016
  One of the most important reasons is the exceptional warranty which backs every Lexus CPO vehicle; the limited bumper-to-bumper coverage is valid for up to 6 years and places no limit on mileage from the vehicle's original sale date. Seeing as how many drivers put tens of thousands of miles on their cars each year, the offer of unlimited mileage is just another sign that Lexus so believes in their vehicles that they are willing to stand strong behind them. Not only that, but Lexus' CPO program has no deductible for covered repairs, which means you won't shell out a dime for a warranty claim. Last but not least, the Lexus CPO program offers included maintenance that covers four factory-recommended services for 2 years or 20,000 miles. This may seem small but luxury vehicle maintenance is imperative and this saves drivers even more money. Kuni Automotive Lexus has a great selection of new and Certified Pre Owned Lexus vehicles in our inventory, and we invite you to explore the benefits of purchasing a Lexus L/Certified vehicle. 2016-08-04T17:06:27Z Have You Discovered the BMW M2? http://www.kuniauto.com/blog/2016/july/25/have-you-discovered-the-bmw-m2.htm?locale=en_US

Happy Friday to all of our BMW drivers. We have some exciting news to share with you all this morning: BMW of North America announced in a press release that it will supply the Los Angeles Police Department with about 100 BMW i3 vehicles. The electrified vehicles will be used in the department's transportation fleet in an effort to lead the local government in the EV movement.

"This announcement comes after a field trial during which a BMW i3 was evaluated alongside other EVs on the streets of Los Angeles as part of the LAPD's every day fleet," reports the press release. "Ultimately, the BMW i3 was selected due to a combination of EPA rated best-in-class efficiency, reliability and state-of-the-art ConnectedDrive services, which can be used to support fleet management applications. BMW's extensive knowledge of charging infrastructure and the availability of a large network of BMW i centers for servicing the fleet in a convenient and cost effective way also played into the decision."

If you have thought about making the switch and want to get behind the wheel of an electrified vehicle, the BMW i3 is a stylish, desirable option. To schedule an appointment for a test drive, contact the team at Kuni BMW in Beaverton, Oregon by calling 503-828-0936.

It's an honor to win any competition, but with a title like "Best Midsize Sedan of 2016" from Cars.com, the 2016 Volkswagen Passat isn't the ultimate winner, you are. Here at  Kuni Automotive, we love to see our great Volkswagen models getting the recognition they deserve, but what we really love is to pass on the spoils and benefits to you, our valued customers.

We're thrilled to announce @Carsdotcom named the 2016 Passat the best midsize sedan! https://t.co/8CpcPEmrSk pic.twitter.com/6dcY19i2XL
 — Volkswagen USA (@VW) June 6, 2016

When setting up its 2017 Midsize Sedan Challenge, Cars.com selected vehicles with automativ transmissions, an EPA-estimated 28 mph combined, and have an MSRP of less than $28,000. From there, the models underwent some grueling testing, including a 220-mile real-road course focusing on overall ride quality, acceleration, handling, braking, cargo space, technology, and more.

The 2016 Volkswagen Passat impressed not just the official judges, but also a real-life in-market couple who were asked to participate, to get an actual customer's perspective. The couple selected the 2016 Passat as their overall favorite, which reflects the opinion of the editors, too. Everyone was impressed with the 2016 Volkswagen Passat's smooth driving dynamics, peppy acceleration, and quit cabin. They praised the rich interior and the smart tech found inside, and were especially fond of the standard collision-avoidance system with emergency braking, which many other models offer as part of an expensive package or an add-on.

"We are thrilled for the Passat to be named Best Midsize Sedan by Cars.com against such formidable competition. The Passat offers the perfect combination of sophisticated styling, outstanding App-Connect technology, and the great driving dynamics that Volkswagen is known for, making it an outstanding consumer value." –Hinrich J. Woebcken, President & CEO, Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.

"The Passat came in first place with both our expert judges and in-market shoppers. This midsize sedan is a refreshed version of the Passat that won Cars.com's Best of 2012 award; it's still tremendously roomy and for 2016 got a ton of tech upgrades like Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration. In addition to the roominess, tech and safety, the standout feature of the Passat is its driving ability. Everyone who drove it unanimously agreed, the Passat is plain old fun to drive." –Patrick Olsen, Cars.com's editor-in-chief

The 2016 Volkswagen Passat demonstrates is value again and again the more you drive it.

The relation between a car and its owner is a special thing, especially for performance enthusiast, and Lexus is constantly seeking new ways to better enhance this connection. In a press release from earlier today, the luxury automaker announced its latest innovation: Variable Load Coupling Rear Orientation (V-LCRO). Only available on Lexus vehicles, V-LCRO delivers more control for the driver during high-speed cornering.

"While all performance cars use seat bolsters to hold a driver in place during aggressive maneuvering, we're taking it a step further. In this case, the technology we're employing is actually over 75 years old," said Brian Bolain, general manager, Lexus product & consumer marketing. "The RC F and GS F are exhilarating, racing-inspired vehicles. By partnering with Velcro Companies, our new V-LCRO technology enhances the driver's ability to maximize the cars' track-proven performance."

The specially designed seat requires a complementary specially designed suit in order to work most effectively. Lexus has designed an exclusive line of custom tailored suits that are both fashionable and functional. For more information, check out the video below.

  2016-03-04T03:17:48Z Do You Make These 5 Mistakes Driving Manual? http://www.kuniauto.com/blog/2016/february/17/do-you-make-these-5-mistakes-driving-manual.htm?locale=en_US
It's no wonder automatic transmissions have been soaring in popularity lately, despite the protest of enthusiasts who prefer to "feel the road" through shifting. Manual transmissions can be very easy to damage.

While everyone who learns manual must overcome the most severe hazards, like grinding gears, many seasoned drivers still make these mistakes:

Using the gear shift as an armrest. After changing gears, put both hands back on the wheel for optimal control. Keeping your hand resting on the shifter can press the selector fork against the rotating collar, causing wear.

Staying in gear at a stoplight. The entire time you sit at a light with the clutch in, the throwout bearing is pressed against the diaphragm spring, causing premature wear.

Using the clutch on a hill instead of braking. Feathering the throttle and clutch to keep from rolling downhill is continually slipping the clutch, causing wear.

Accelerating at low rpm. Lugging the engine is most dramatically noticed when taking off from low speeds, but even accelerating from 40mph can work your engine too hard if it isn't at a high enough rpm.

Resting your foot on the clutch. Even light pressure on the clutch could cause the clutch disk to slip, and wear out the throwout bearing.

At Kuni Auto Center, we offer a wide variety of pre-owned vehicles, and we love to see our customers return regularly for service and maintenance. We hope with these car-saving tips, however, you won't have to see us sooner than you intended!

Bargaining and Market Behavior by Vernon L. Smith
Book DescriptionThis second Cambridge University Press collection of papers by Vernon L. Smith, a creator of the field of experimental economics, includes many of his primary authored and coauthored contributions on bargaining and market behavior between 1990 and 1998. The essays explore the use of laboratory experiments to test propositions derived from economics and game theory. They also investigate the relationship between experimental economics and psychology, particularly the field of evolutionary psychology, using the latter to broaden the perspective in which experimental results are interpreted. The volume complements Professor Smith's earlier work by demonstrating the importance of institutional features of markets in understanding behavior and market performance. Specific themes investigated include rational choice, the notion of fairness, game theory and extensive form experimental interactions, institutions and market behavior, and the study of laboratory stock markets.

Essa Autosport 2015 Formula Drift Program Update
We've been busy here at Essa Autosport, and our 2013 SLP Camaro that will debut at the Formula Drift season opener in Long Beach has come a long way. In our first and previous update, we had just pulled the Camaro in for a few shots before the teardown. Fast forward to the present, the car has been stripped and cleaned, caged, and we are starting to piece together what we feel will be a competitive machine for the 2015 season.
SLP – Street Legal Performace's amazing support of our program continues. Supporting us in being competitive in the power field, SLP sent a set of their long tube headers over to accompany their supercharger kit on top of the LS3 that will be going back in the car. We are going to need all the torque we can get to run the walls in Long Beach, and these parts are great additions to the build.
BMR Suspension has come aboard the program, providing the parts that will enable the Camaro to be driven to its full potential. Thanks to BMR, we have a full setup of rear adjustable control arms, rear subframe bushings, front and rear sway bars, and a very solid set of engine mounts. The suspension is going to be rock solid paired with Suspension Techniques coilovers.
Forgestar Wheels continues their support of our drift program. The Camaro will be running a pair of Forgestar CF5V 19×9 wheels with Yokohama Advan AD09R 245/40/19 tires in the front, and 19×10 CF5V wheels with Yokohama Advan AD08R 275/35/19 in the rear.
Clutch Masters is handling the task of sending the supercharged power to the rear with an 850 Series Twin Disc system custom set to our specs, activated by a Clutch Masters internal slave. Down the line, the stock rear subframe was modified to fit a Speedway quick change diff. The Clutch Masters setup should put all that power through the diff and result in plenty of tire smoke.
Long Beach is a brutal track. Our FD legal cage with NASCAR door bars will enable Mike Essa to feel comfortable to put on a show in the pilot's seat. Safety is a big part of professional drifting, and our number one goal is to give our sponsors and fans the best performance possible, and go home at the end of the day.
Michael Essa and the Essa Autosport team would like to thank all the companies that stepped up to the plate to make this year possible. The support has been fantastic, and our fans that stuck with us are amazing too! We cant wait to see what this machine and its parts are capable of. Stay tuned for more Essa Autosport updates, and be sure to stop by and cheer us on at Formula Drift Round 1 – Streets of Long Beach on April 10-11.
Essa Autosport Welcomes SLP Camaro To 2015 Formula Drift Program
Essa Autosport is excited to announce a new partnership with SLP for the 2015 Formula Drift season. Michael Essa will be piloting a 2013 Chevrolet Camaro SS generously provided by SLP, stepping away from the BMW platform the team has popularized in Formula Drift since Essa's early professional drifting career. Together with SLP and parent company Roush, Essa Autosport will be teaming up with friend Justin Pawlak, making for an interesting Chevy/Ford conglomeration in the Formula Drift paddocks.
With the first round of Formula Drift quickly approaching on April 10-11 in Long Beach, the Essa Autosport team has their work cut out for them. The Camaro is currently in the tear down stage for upgrades such as Formula Drift legal cage and restraints, drivetrain upgrades such as transmission and differential, and several steering and suspension upgrades to make the car handle Essa's extreme angle driving style. The full tear down, weight reduction, and power adding process will be extremely limited due to budget and time restrictions. Essa Autosport expects an interesting 6-7 weeks of building the car and sourcing parts.
Testing is expected to be done nearing the car's debut in Long Beach. Cutting it close to the big event ensures that no corners will be cut in the build in order to make early testing days. Essa Autosport has high expectations for the addition of the Camaro to their professional drift program. The first year in a chassis is tough, but Essa's team is excited and motivated to work through the shake down and tuning process to earn results and podium appearances they strive for.
The 2015 Formula Drift season opens on April 10-11 in Long Beach, one week before the world renowned Grand Prix of Long Beach.

Application April 15, 1944, Serial No. 531,247
1 Claim. 1
The present invention relates to aerodynamic apparatus, and has particular reference to a novel kite balloon construction.
The principal object of the invention is to provide an aerodynamic kite balloon construction which will fly in calm as well as in the wind.
Another object of the invention is to provide a kite balloon construction which utilizes both static lifting force and dynamic air pressure force in a practical manner.
Stilll another object of the invention is to provide a kite balloon construction which utilizes the lifting pressure created by wind velocity in a simple and effective manner.
With the above and other objects and advantageous features in view, the invention consists of a novel arrangement of parts more fully disclosed in the detailed description following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. and more specifically defined in the claim appended thereto.
In the drawings,
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of an apparatus which embodies the novel invention;
Fig. 2 is a top plan view thereof;
Fig. 3 is a side elevation thereof;
Fig. 4 is an end view thereof; and
Fig. 5 is a detail view showing a modified arrangement for supporting the wings.
It has been found desirable to provide a kite balloon construction which will fly both in calm and in wind, thus rendering it useful for carrying instruments to determine weather conditions, flight ceilings, radiation, and the like, for photography, advertising and similar uses, and in larger sizes for carrying an observer for signalling, visual inspection of terrain, aerial support, barrage effects, and other war uses. With very large constructions the novel kite balloon arrangement is adapted for power propulsion and for carrying loads, as it combines the lifting characteristics of lighter than air craft with the power driven efiect of heavier than air craft. The novel combination reduces the power requirements for operation, as no power is required for initial lifting, thus providing maximum load capacity and large safety factors, and the speed of operating is facilitated by the quick take-offs and the short landings feasible with the novel combination.
In carrying out the invention. I provide a novel device which rises on static lift, and before its ceiling is attained is engaged by air currents which create dynamic pressure on the wings, thus giving the device a practical and effective lifting pressure which is transmitted to the anchorage point. An illustrative embodiment of the invention comprises a central balloon portion which has laterally extending kite type wings, which may be of the airplane type, whereby the buoyant effect of the balloon is supplemented by the eifect of wind pressure on the wings, and by the vacuum created by the airfoil when the wings are of the airplane type.
Referring to the drawings, the novel kite balloon [0 includes a central balloon section II and a kite wing arrangement l2, which in the illustrative embodiment shown in the drawings includes two laterally disposed wings l3. The balloon section comprises an envelope l4, preferably of textile material and made of a plurality of gores I 5, the envelope housing one or more inflated balloons 16. For high ceiling work one of the gores may be made of an expansible material such as latex to take care of excessive expansion, or any standard type of shock cord con-- trolled relief valve may be provided. If preferred, the envelope may be made of suitable gas retaining material, thus eliminating the use of inner bladders.
The wings are preferably made of fabric, although any suitable light material such as sheet metal of the requisite strength, or non-metallic material such as laminated plywood or plastics may be used, depending on the purpose and the size of the apparatus required. Each fabric wing is provided with a suitable socket or pocket I! for receiving the end of a spreader or reinforcement bar l8 which passes through and is secured to the envelope. and serves to hold the wings outwardly in horizontal spread relation to the central balloon section.
Referring now to Fig. 4, the wings are additionally supported by wing support wires [9 which depend from a reinforcement strap or patch 20 which is secured to the upper portion of the envelope in any desired manner. A wing wire suspension rig 2l is provided consisting of wires 22 which have their ends secured to the forward and rear portions of the wings, additional wire bridles or supports 23 being provided if desired, and a balloon section wire suspension rig which consists of one or more wire sets 24 is also provided; a flying wire 25 is secured to the lower ends of the wire rigs as indicated at 26, the point of securing being adjustable along the rig wire lengths to control the inclination of the kite balloon and the resulting change in wing lift. Vertical fins may be used to increase stability.
Although it is preferred to use a spreader bar which extends through the envelope, a semi-circular frame support such as indicated at 21 in Fig. 5 may be used to receive spreader bar sections, when it is desirable to use an exterior support, as when the envelope contains a single inflated bladder, The semi-circular frame support is attached to the envelope in any suitable manner.
With the above described arrangement of parts, the novel kite balloon utilizes both the buoyant eifect of the central balloon portion and the aerodynamic lift of the wings, When large size arrangements are to be equipped with motive power it is preferred to mount the Toad carriage which carries the load directly below the balloon envelope, and to mount the motors on the load care.
rlage or directly in the wings, which in such case. would be of the airplane type, such additional braces and supports as are needed-to carry the load being provided from the balloon envelope.
While I have disclosed an illustrative embodiment of my invention, it is obvious that changes inthe size, shape and arrangement of the parts, and in the materials used, may be made to meet the requirements for different uses and different loads, without departing from the spirit and the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claim.
I claim:
An aerodynamic device, comprising an inflatable bag, a single rigid bar secured to, and extending through and to both sides of, said bag, wings secured to, and outwardly projecting from, opposite sides, respectively, of said bag and fastened to said bar, a flying wire, a wire rig connecting said flying wire with said bar on opposite sides of said bag, and a stra passed over said bag and fastened with its. ends. to said bar on opposite sides of said bag.

To broaden chitosan's antimicrobial applicability, comprehensive knowledge of its activity is necessary. The paper reviews the current trend of investigation on antimicrobial activities of chitosan and its mode of action. Chitosan-mediated inhibition is affected by several factors can be classified into four types as intrinsic, environmental, microorganism and physical state, according to their respective roles. In this review, different physical states are comparatively discussed. Mode of antimicrobial action is discussed in parts of the active compound (chitosan) and the target (microorganisms) collectively and independently in same complex. Finally, the general antimicrobial applications of chitosan and perspectives about future studies in this field are considered.

Review Literature As Topic
Published materials which provide an examination of recent or current literature. Review articles can cover a wide range of subject matter at various levels of completeness and comprehensiveness based on analyses of literature that may include research findings. The review may reflect the state of the art. It also includes reviews as a literary form.
Purifying or cleansing agents, usually salts of long-chain aliphatic bases or acids, that exert cleansing (oil-dissolving) and antimicrobial effects through a surface action that depends on possessing both hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties.
Concurrent Review
Review of the medical necessity of hospital or other health facility admissions, upon or within a short time following an admission, and periodic review of services provided during the course of treatment.
State Health Plans
State plans prepared by the State Health Planning and Development Agencies which are made up from plans submitted by the Health Systems Agencies and subject to review and revision by the Statewide Health Coordinating Council.
An article or book published after examination of published material on a subject. It may be comprehensive to various degrees and the time range of material scrutinized may be broad or narrow, but the reviews most often desired are reviews of the current literature. The textual material examined may be equally broad and can encompass, in medicine specifically, clinical material as well as experimental research or case reports. State-of-the-art reviews tend to address more current matters. A review of the literature must be differentiated from HISTORICAL ARTICLE on the same subject, but a review of historical literature is also within the scope of this publication type.

Chlorinated Compounds at 'Rocknest'The first examinations of Martian soil by the Sample Analysis at Mars, or SAM, instrument on NASA's Mars Curiosity rover show no definitive detection of Martian organic molecules at this point. Organic molecules are carbon-containing compounds essential for life on Earth. The soil grains were acquired from a wind drift named "Rocknest."
The instrument did detect simple chlorinated carbon compounds, represented by ball and stick models on the graph. These compounds contain hydrogen and carbon as well as chlorine. More work is needed to determine if the carbon in these molecules is of terrestrial or Martian origin. The chlorinated compounds were likely created from a reaction with perchlorate or a perchlorite-like phase and carbon-containing molecules.
Future experiments will further address the question of the observed carbon's origins, and the rover will continue to search for organics in both rocks and sands in other environments of Gale Crater.

Where I stayed
The Backpack & Africa Travel Centre Cape Town
Shortly Table Mountain was seen in the far distance sticking way above the surrounding landscape.
Nearly there after 43 days on the road!
What an experience. Sad in many ways.
BUT still one more thing to do on this Acacia trip.
Last thing was a Capetown township tour with Inkululeko Tours and their local guides. We boarded 2 mini vans at Table View and went into several of the townships to see and learn a little about the continual hardships that the coloured are still facing.
That's it ... "The Back Pack" our temporary home in Capetown = Acacia Africa 43 day tour from Nairobi Kenya to Capetown final destination and our trip is finally over - but wait, there more ... read on.
Brother Tim flew in from London and met me here. We are to stay in South Africa for another week with the objective to drive along the Garden Route.
We went for a walk about Capetown but on a Sunday it is like Auckland - closed! After passing a crew filming, eventually got down to the bustling V & A waterfront which Auckland's still to be completed waterfront should be developed like.
Then the group's final dinner.
Thanks Mandy, Tom and all the other travellers from around the world who joined me along this wonderful African journey that we all experienced.
