New Propane-Fueled Minotour® Buses in Production at Thomas Built Buses
First School Bus Manufacturer to Achieve Zero-Waste to-Landfill Now Offers Propane Autogas Option
High Point, N.C. – Thomas Built Buses expanded its alternative-powered product offerings with the addition of a new propane-fueled Minotour® bus. Thomas Built’s green vehicle lineup also includes the Saf-T-Liner® C2e Hybrid and HDX compressed natural gas (CNG) models. A propane-fueled offering of the innovative Thomas Built Saf-T-Liner C2 bus is in development and expected to be available in 2013.
“At Thomas Built, we want to produce a full line of buses that exceed current environmental standards. As the demand grows for sustainable transportation solutions, Thomas Built Buses is at the forefront of offering a robust line of alternative-powered vehicles including compressed natural gas, diesel-electric hybrid and propane technology,” said Kelley Platt, president and CEO of Thomas Built Buses. Thomas Built was the first and remains the only school bus manufacturer that is completely Zero-Waste-to-Landfill, building every bus with a high level of environmental standards.
The Thomas Built Minotour is a Type A bus, seating up to 30 passengers, making it an excellent choice for schools, childcare centers and churches. The propane option is available on the 159″ dual rear wheel (DRW) model with a GVWR of 14,200 lbs. Powered by a GM 6.0 liter liquid propane gas (LPG) engine with fully-integrated CleanFUEL USA liquid propane injection system, the 3-tank set-up has an estimated 315-mile range and a gas gallon equivalent of 35 gallons.
The propane-fueled Minotour is California Air Research Board-certified and exceeds EPA 2010 emissions requirements. Less expensive than a gallon of gasoline or diesel on a btu basis, propane is a green, clean-burning alternative fuel, with 20 percent less NOx and 12 percent less CO2 than gasoline. More than 90 percent of the propane used in the U.S. is domestically produced. Setting up propane fueling infrastructure is an easy and relatively low-cost proposition.
Thomas Built Buses has already delivered its first two propane-fueled Minotour buses to Student Transportation of America.

The famous Backwaters in Kerala, South India are water bodies formed by the backward flow of seawater due to an obstruction in the natural current.
Kerala backwaters are blessed with immense beauty and provides for a relaxing atmosphere. The ecosystem of the backwaters combines that of freshwater as well as that of the sea. It supports a large variety of flora and fauna such as frogs, fishes, crabs, mudskippers, otters etc. Along the length of the backwaters, one could see a close up of life in rural Kerala.
The idyllic Soma Kuttanad Resort is the place to see the backwaters in all its glory. Here, by the pristine beauty of the emerald green waters of the waterways, rejuvenate your body and soul with authentic Ayurveda and Yoga.
The waterfront property of the resort is located in Alleppey which is also known as the Venice of the east for its famed backwaters. One can explore the magical region on houseboats which pamper you with exotic food and luxury. Laid back, the resort has independent villas and well appointed rooms.

An eye Dr. checked my eyes.
She said that the current lenses are a little too strong to see clearly.
I was staying on the street with those "robot glasses" to get a feeling how the lenses work, and I could see better to the distance. Very fine tuning, closing the perfect.
Also a little cataract (grey color, harmaa sumentuma) that has been there already some years. Perhaps by age of 60 or so I should get new, clear lenses, to keep my eye sight bright:-)

Driving home into Lordship and passed this culvert draining flood waters from one side of the road to the other. On this side the tide was coming in creating these swirling pools of sea-foam. Had to turn around and snap a photo. Hope you guys like it!

MONROVIA - LIBERIA , April 10 2007 : April 10, 2007 - Monrovia, Liberia. - With funding from the World Bank and inspired by President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf desire to beautify parts of Monrovia, the Ministery of Public Works in Liberia commence a three month project to build a wall around the Palm Grove Cemetary in downtown Monrovia. The project will cost 180,000 USD and is one of many World Bank grants to address "several urgent challenges". Currently the grave yard is used as public toilet and garbage dump as well it is a known haven for drug dealers and criminals. The 4 meter foot high wall will be fitted with barbed wire and access through locked gates permitted only to those visiting lost ones. In addition to the fact that the site is used as a public toilet and garbage dump the overcrowded cemetary with broken open tombs and exposed bodies is seen as a health risk and will no longer be accepting any new bodies. In her speech commenorating the start of the construction of the wall, President Sirleaf stressed the desire to bring back honour to Palm Grove Cemetary and remove the shame that exists today. The fence would serve to prevent the criminal activity that is present today, "No more selling drugs and drinking there". The President also stressed the need for those living in the cemetary to leave and if neccessary seek assistance. When ask what will happen to those who stay in the cemetary, the Minister of Public Works, Loseni Dunzo avoided the question by saying " We build - Ministry of Justice evicts - I am not the Justice Ministry" The Police have anounced that eveyone must leave and it is reported that some arrests have already been made in the cemetary during the first week of April.
