![]() ![]() The bare-bones Pro also had a manual choke.Įxports of the City were only of naturally aspirated hatchback and van versions. The Pro had to make do without brake boost (until the 1985 facelift) and transistorized ignition (lowering power by two horsepower), and were also not available with the five speed manual transmission. First generation production ended in late 1986 with the introduction of the GA type City.Ĭommercial versions were called Pro in Japan, and were available with either two or five seats (Pro T/F). ![]() The E III, in addition to benefiting from the FRM conrods, also had an electronically variable lean-burn engine. The E-series (E, E 1, E II & EIII "E" for economy) used higher geared transmissions and trip computers to increase gas mileage. A "R Manhattan Sound" version incorporated high-quality stereo equipment (including the "Bodysonic", transmitting sound vibrations through the seat). In addition to vans and convertibles, there was also an "R Manhattan Roof" version with a 10 cm taller roof. One month later, the R became available with the interesting Hypershift transmission, a four-speed with an electronically controlled overdrive on second, third, and fourth gears - in essence creating a 7-speed gearbox. Naturally aspirated engines in the AA Citys also gained a new fiber-reinforced aluminum alloy connecting rods ("FRM"), a world first in series production. The U was the only non-commercial City to be available with a four-speed manual in the Japanese domestic market. The E and E II models were replaced by the new E III, while a lower priced U model joined the lineup. 1983 Honda City R (rear view)Ī March 1985 light facelift brought a new asymmetrical grille (although not for the Cabriolet) and some interior improvements. Part of a worldwide eighties' wave of convertibles based on family cars, this was the first car of this kind built in Japan. The Cabriolet was well equipped, with a glass rear window and twelve pastel colors not available on the hatchback versions. These widetrack models were designated "FA" rather than "AA". In September 1982 a turbocharged version of the Honda ER engine was added to the lineup.ĭesigned by Pininfarina and introduced in August 1984, a drop-top Cabriolet utilized the wider track, fenders, and bigger bumpers of the Turbo II "Bulldog", but was only normally available with the naturally aspirated 67 PS (49 kW) engine. Originally a sportier R version, the economical E and two commercial van versions ("Pro") were introduced. It was also available together with the Motocompo, a special 50 cc 'foldaway' scooter constructed to fit in the City's small luggage area, itself designed around the Motocompo. ![]() The engine was the CVCC-II 1,231 cc four-cylinder "ER", specifically designed for the City. In spite of the creativity and novelty of its design, the City was narrowly pipped for the Japanese motoring journalists' Car Of The Year Award by the luxurious Toyota Soarer. This, combined with class leading fuel economy led to it being a rapid and considerable success in the Japanese domestic market. While the City's layout was traditional for its category, with front-wheel drive and a transversely mounted engine, its relatively upright seating arrangement was innovative, creating legroom comparable to larger cars. It was sold at the Honda Japan dealership sales channel called Honda Clio. First introduced in November 1981, it carried the model codes AA for sedans, VF for vans, and FA for the widetrack Turbo II and Cabriolets. The somewhat uniquely designed City, referred to by Honda as "Tall Boy" style, was also marketed abroad and was available in a number of versions. ![]() The first generation Honda City (Honda Jazz in Europe) was a subcompact hatchback aimed mainly at the Japanese domestic market.

The contemporary artists aim to discuss art history, but also want to subvert art per se.

Pop Art had unveiled social criticism, just like the Italian movement Art Povera (Poor Art in English). The British artist Richard Hamilton (1922-2011) used collage to compose this art piece that influenced even Andy Warhol and other Pop Art artists. Just What Is It That Makes Today’s Home So Different, So Appealing? (1956) is considered the first Pop Art artwork in Art History. These two techniques were adopted by Post-Modernist Movements (the ones that arised after the second world war, accordingly to some art critics). This technique was called Collage.Īnother similar attempt, but in this case in tridimensional pieces of art, was the Assemblage, which was widely used in may other Modernist Movements, like Futurism, Constructivism, even in Cubism and Surrealism. They aimed to represent reality and considered these materials modernity’s symbols. Pablo Picasso and Georges Braques experienced mixing painting and usage of different materials (usually newspapers, posters, or banners patches).

![]() ![]() ![]() How Do Military and Civilian Compensation Compare? In contrast with the previous retirement system, the Blended Retirement System provides for earlier vesting of some retirement benefits, adds a defined contribution component, and shifts some benefits from deferred to cash compensation (in the form of bonuses for remaining in the military). Also, in 2016, the Congress authorized the creation of a new retirement system-the Blended Retirement System. But lawmakers increased basic pay by less than the rate of increase for civilian wages from 2014 through 2016 and authorized DoD to slightly reduce housing allowances. For example, regular military compensation, or RMC- basic pay, allowances for food and housing, and the tax advantage that arises because those allowances are not subject to federal income tax-grew by 20 percent for the active-duty force as a whole between 20 after adjusting for inflation. Deferred noncash benefits include veterans’ health care, educational programs, and vocational programs.Ĭash compensation grew significantly during the past two decades, but that growth has slowed in recent years. Deferred cash pay includes retirement pay and disability compensation. Current noncash benefits include family health care, schools for dependent children, and other programs, such as child care and discount groceries. Current cash pay also includes additional cash earnings, such as lump-sum bonuses and monthly compensation for a specific occupation or duty. Basic pay varies by pay grade, and housing and food allowances vary by pay grade and the number of dependents. What Are the Components of Military Compensation and What Are the Trends Over Time?Ĭurrent cash pay, which includes basic pay and allowances such as those for housing and food, typically accounts for slightly more than half of a service member’s compensation. Ultimately, the system must be assessed on its ability to attract, retain, and motivate personnel of the necessary quality at the lowest possible cost. ![]() It compares that compensation with pay and benefits in the civilian sector and presents some options for changing the compensation system. service members (about 1 million enlisted personnel and 230,000 warrant and commissioned officers). This analysis considers compensation for the approximately 1.3 million active-duty U.S. Researchers have also found that bonuses are cost-effective tools for attracting and retaining personnel in hard-to-fill occupations. Researchers have found that an increase in cash compensation increases the supply of high-quality enlisted recruits and boosts retention. To fund those elements of military compensation for current and former personnel, DoD and the Department of Veterans Affairs together expected to spend about $350 billion in 2019. Compensation for military personnel is a mix of cash earnings and noncash, or in-kind, benefits received while they are serving, as well as the deferred pay and benefits they may receive after leaving-or separating, in military parlance. ![]() To attract and retain high-quality military personnel, assign them to needed occupations, and motivate them to perform their best, the Department of Defense (DoD) must offer a compensation package that adequately rewards service members for the rigors of military life. ![]() ![]() ![]() sub-plugin type names must be short because there are limits on database table name lengthsĭevelopers should always define a plugininfo class that describes the properties of subplugins.sub-plugin types must be globally unique - they must not collide with any other plugin type, core subsystem or any other sub-plugin type.sub-plugin type names must use only letters +.‘Art Museum’ Thea render by Jan Sandstrom If you’d like a free trial of any of these products, send us an email use the contact form below.$string = 'Submissions allocation method' $string = 'Submissions allocation methods' $string = 'Grading evaluation method' $string = 'Grading evaluation methods' $string = 'Grading strategy' $string = 'Grading strategies' Naming rules and recommendations Thea also has a built-in online library and is compatible with Extensions such as Skatter.
