The indicated consumption and emissions values were determined according to the legally specified measuring methods. That includes a €3 billion, ten-year investment programme in future models and at the Pyms Lane factory in Crewe, England, where all Bentley models are built. The Flying Spur, the world’s finest luxury four-door grand-tourer, achieved 28 per cent of Bentley’s total sales, helped by the introduction of an environmentally-friendly Hybrid.īentley’s latest financial results support the company’s industry-leading Beyond100 strategy, as it looks to electrify its entire product range and achieve carbon neutral status by 2030. The Continental GT and Convertible accounted for nearly a third of sales, with the performance-orientated GT Speed, the most dynamic road car Bentley has ever built, claiming almost 31 per cent of the model mix. The continued demand for SUVs ensured Bentayga remained Bentley’s number one model, selling more in its sixth year of sales than ever before, accounting for 42 per cent of total sales and establishing itself as the most successful luxury SUV in the world. “We will maintain focus on customer value rather than sales volume and adapt our plan according to the emerging market situation, however our well-balanced export success, disciplined cost management structure and ability to maximise personalisation in an industrialised way, driving profitability, are good foundations to continue this success.” Our order bank and order intake rate so far in 2023 show strong potential to sustain our performance, although the business environment is becoming more volatile and risk factors are increasing. “We have built a sustainable financial basis for the long-term, a competitive cost structure and unique market positioning, resulting in an historically strong cash generative that is providing the funding for the most ambitious race to full BEV and carbon neutrality in the luxury sector. “An almost €1 billion profit turnaround has been achieved since 2018 despite an unprecedented period of disruptions and crises including Brexit, Covid, Semiconductor supply, Ukraine and UK economic instability. Last year marked a milestone in this journey. The increase was due to customers choosing h igher specification derivatives, higher option uptake and the sale of Limited Editions and Coachbuilt collectibles.Īdrian Hallmark, Chairman and CEO of Bentley Motors, commented: “Since the low point of 2018, the whole team at Crewe has been working intensively to restructure the business model, in parallel with launching successive segment leading new models and features. Return on sales climbed to 20.9 per cent in 2022, an impressive rise from 13.7 per cent in 2021 and the highest in Bentley’s 104-year history. This rapid financial transformation of the company underpins a future investment programme unrivalled in the luxury car sector, enabling Bentley to revolutionise from the world’s biggest 12-cylinder engine producer to an all-electric car company within a decade. The announcement follows record sales in 2022, when Bentley delivered 15,174 extraordinary cars – the first time it has retailed more than 15,000 cars in a year. Turnover reached €3.38 billion, up 19 per cent over the same period. The latest annual figures show a profit of €708 million, representing an 82 per cent growth in profit from a four per cent growth in volume. Bentley Motors today revealed record financial results for 2022, with operating profits up nearly €1 billion compared to 2018.

This situation was primarily caused by the increase in air temperature, and also related with the size of glacier and some local topographic parameters. In comparison to previous inventories, glacier area was found to shrink by 396.89 km2 (20.5%) in total, and 446 glaciers with an area of 44.79 km2 disappeared over the period from the 1960s to 2015. In order to understand the current state of glaciers in the Qilian Mountains, we compiled a new inventory of glaciers in the region using Landsat Operational Land Imager (OLI) images acquired in 2015, and identified 2748 glaciers that covered an area of 1539.30 ± 49.50 km2 with an ice volume of 81.69 ± 7.40 km3, among which the Shule River basin occupied the largest portion of glaciers (24.8% in number, 32.3% in area, and 35.6% in ice volume). Over the last few decades, glaciers have generally shrunk across the globe due to climate warming. Glaciers in the Qilian Mountains are important sources of fresh-water for sustainable development in the Hexi Corridor in the arid northwest China. This approach shows that episodes of moraine formation vary temporally between individual outlet glaciers of Hardangerjøkulen, suggesting that the moraine record of a single outlet glacier alone may not be sufficient to derive an icefield-wide picture of past ice advances, and thereby climate fluctuations. Third, we present a relative dating approach, based on the known age of the different icefield outlines, that allows bracketing ages to be assigned to all ice-marginal landforms between any two outlines. Icefield recession has been greatest since the end of the 20th century, when rates of areal shrinkage increased to 6.5–10% 10 a –1 in 1995–2010, and the rate of average terminus retreat accelerated to 17 m a –1 in 2003–2010. This reveals a substantial reduction in icefield size, with a total area loss of 41 km ² (37% 2% 10 a –1 ) by 2010 and a cumulative frontal retreat averaging 1.3 km (29% 5 m a –1 ) by 2013. Second, we compile a set of remotely sensed icefield outlines from successive time points in the 20th and 21st century to calculate icefield area and length change since the LIA. Existing LIA model simulations of Hardangerjøkulen are not yet fully able to reproduce our reconstructed extent. Ice-marginal moraines, glacial drift limits, trimlines, and identifiable erosion and weathering boundaries provide evidence of a LIA icefield with an area of 110 km ². First, we reconstruct Hardangerjøkulen’s maximum LIA extent (~AD 1750) and subsequent recession based on the glacial landform record and aided by historical map interpretation. To that end, we examine the evolution of the plateau icefield Hardangerjøkulen since the LIA. The maximum ‘Little Ice Age’ (LIA) glacier extent provides a significant baseline to assess long-term glacier change and to place currently observed rates of glacier recession in a broader temporal context. The findings suggest that the glacier tourism industry can reduce its vulnerability to climate change through increased collaboration between tourism operators and climate and tourism researchers. We discuss the relevance of the resilience concept in the tourism industry and recommend that tourists' experiences should be enhanced by applying the findings of research on tourists' motivations and landscape perception and developing more adaptation-oriented research. It also identifies some impacts of climate change on the glacier tourism industry as well as 27 adaptation strategies to climatic change, which are classified under seven main themes: changes to access, activities, tourism planning, educational activities, temporal substitutions, spatial substitutions, and glacier shrinkage attenuation. The review shows that glacier tourism research publications increased between 20. Thus, through a literature review of 61 glacier peer-reviewed papers, this paper highlights the advancement in research on glacier tourism and provides some basis for understanding stakeholders' adaptation strategies to climate change. However, research on stakeholders' adaptation to climatic change and its threat to the industry on tourism niche is currently inadequate. Globally, tourism is being deeply impacted by glacial retreat caused by climate change.

In the passage in the first movement where the violin and piano change roles, the violin playing the chords pizzicato and the piano the lovely main theme, the arpeggio violin accompaniment came through with magical effect. I once heard Kreisler at the Albert Hall begin his recital with the Brahms G major Sonata, an intimate work hardly ideal in that vast arena packed that day with some 5,000 people. I suggest the opposite is a better tonal tactic. Of course, you may want to produce a veiled, non-ringing pizzicato by only half-stopping the string, but for maximum ring you need as good a stop as possible.Īlmost every commentary on pizzicato recommends vibrato notes in a slow tempo and many people start vibrato on a long note before the right hand stroke. However, since plucked notes ring better the more a string is stopped, pizzicato is an exception to the rule of minimum finger pressure. Sometimes we might want to change the tone quality or as part of rhythmic emphasis in the left hand, but continual over-pressing is obviously a waste of energy and may cause tension. ‘In normal playing, the correct amount of finger pressure is always as little as possible – in other words, just enough to make the tone entirely pure. To obtain a pizzicato note which will carry, the string must be firmly pulled with the fleshy part of the right hand in a direction to the right of the player at an angle of about 10 degrees to the fingerboard. The result will be a note which sounds dead. It is not good enough to simply twang the strings. Joan Jeanrenaud, former cellist of the Kronos Quartet, The Strad, June 2004ĭictionaries of music vary, but the majority explain that pizzicato is an Italian word meaning ‘pinched’ and from what we frequently hear in concerts and recitals it would seem that some string players interpret the definition literally and produce a pinched tone instead of a richly vibrant tone. Flesh can be used to our advantage but don’t forget the nails’ Next, consider how you will pluck you can pull the string to one side or the other, lift up, or push down. Most often we do this between the fingerboard and the bridge, but there are other options, such as close to the bridge to get a tight, non-resonating sound or on the fingerboard for a softer, more ringing tone. One of the choices you have with pizzicato is where on the string you pluck. We have the ability to produce as many colours in pizzicato as we do when we use the bow. Within the musical context, however, there are a variety of reasons that pizzicato is used and therefore we need to find different ways to pluck. Many cellists feel that pizzicato is simply plucking the string and they give little thought as to how to do so.

Nails on a chalkboard never sounded better compared to the songs in the game. The graphics are nice, not remarkable but good nevertheless. I don't care how many people *love* this game It's a childhood nightmare that tortured me when I was younger. I had more fun getting horrible upset stomachs, broken bones, and losing prized possessions than playing this horrible garbage. It's one of the worst games I've ever played in my entire lifetime. An enjoyable game on the SNES or Genesis, just get ready to take some time to advance and watch out for zombies. You also only get passwords every 4 levels and it doesn't store equipment so can be rough in the later stages. There is also of course the length of the game 55 levels if you count all the bonus levels or 47 if you don't go through all. Quite a few times have gone past health or rocket launcher when I need them. You can scroll through your items in only one direction which can be frustrating if you skip over something you are in need of at that moment. Game play is simple but not without difficulties. There is a charm to those who grow up watching Ed Wood or similar directors and can enjoy the humor of these movies. The enemies are varied, interesting and definitely B-movie inspired. So, it is wise to save as many as possible at the beginning. You start out with ten but they can be killed and that leaves 1 less for the continuing rounds in the game. Your mission is to rescue your neighbors. It has its frustrating moments but overall an excellent little game. Zombies Ate My Neighbors is kind of like a B-movie encapsulated in a video game. The game consists largely of puzzles to collect ‘lightstones’ to activate the obelisks, with the puzzles consisting of lighting fires, making trick arrow shots using mirrors and targets, Simon Says games with large bells, platforming to difficult locations, and deactivating statues of the game's antagonist. Players need to return light to the obelisks scattered in the game's world, which weakens the curse spirits, allowing players to defeat them. Players need to avoid alerting them through stealth. Throughout the Hunter's journey, she is hunted by invincible cursed spirits which attempt to separate her from her eagle. By exploring the game's world and solving puzzles, players would collect crystals which can be used to upgrade the eagle's abilities. Players need to use "Spirit Vision" in order to find locations of interest. Unlike other open world games, the game does not feature a mini-map. The eagle loses altitude while carrying the Hunter, though it can gain altitude through flapping its wings. She is also accompanied by an eagle companion, which can carry the player while flying. She must use her bows and arrows to shoot talismans scattered throughout the world, which will fill the Hunter's dash meter and allow her to swiftly navigate the game's world. In the game, the player controls the Hunter, who must find a way to lift the curse on an island. The Pathless is an action-adventure video game played from a third-person perspective. The player can shoot at targets to maintain stamina. I love questing games (Tomba and, of course, Elder Scrolls are top notch, IMO), but these quests are uninspired and rather boring. The game runs smoothly and is attractive enough, but the actual gameplay is lacking in my opinion. * Third party drivers are required to play this game using Xbox 360 controllers.
