Paris Air Show Le Bourget 2011 Siemens, Diamond Aircraft and EADS DA36 E-Star Micro plane

A one-of-a-kind airplane with a hybrid electric drive designed to reduce fuel consumption is making its public debut this week at the Paris Air Show Le Bourget 2011. The two-seat motor glider had a successful maiden flight on June 8 in Vienna. Developed by Siemens, Diamond Aircraft and EADS, the DA36 E-Star serves as a test for a technology that engineers eventually hope to use in larger aircraft to make flying more efficient. The electric drive system could cut fuel consumption by 25 percent, which could also help make a big dent in global airplane-related carbon dioxide emissions. Air travel currently accounts for 2.2 percent of the world’s carbon emissions. “A serial hybrid electric drive can be scaled for a wide range of uses, making it highly suitable for aircraft as well,” said Frank Anton, the initiator of electric aircraft development at Siemens. “The first thing we want to do is test the technology in small aircraft. In the long term, however, the drive system will also be used in large-scale aircraft. We want to cut fuel consumption and emissions by 25 percent, compared to today’s most efficient technologies. This will make air travel more sustainable.” The DA36 E-Star is the first to use a so-called serial hybrid electric drive, until now found only in cars, as an integrated drive train. “The serial hybrid electric drive concept makes possible a quiet electric takeoff and a considerable reduction in fuel consumption and emission,” said Christian Dries, the

What are some good Christian dating sites?

Question by iluvmypets: What are some good Christian dating sites?
I’m a Christian looking for a fellow Christian who shares my values. Are there any really good Christian dating sites out there? I’ve checked out some free Christian dating sites but wasn’t pleased with those, so I am starting to think that I’ll have to pay membership fees to join a good Christian dating site, and I’m willing to do that. What are some reputable Christian dating sites?

Best answer:

Answer by humynism
Don’t do it. Dating sites don’t work. For evidence, go to POF and see how long those same old profiles have been there…years and years those men have been looking for women. And they’re still fishing!

Westlake Village, CA (PRWEB) December 8, 2006

Oaks Christian High School in Westlake Village, California has won 44 consecutive games, tied for the eighth longest streak in California history according to CalHiSports.com.

The Lions have waltzed through the post-season despite losing USC bound and nationally renowned running back Marc Tyler in the first quarter of their first playoff game. Nevertheless, Oaks has kept intact their impressive streak of not allowing more than 17 points in any game this season and not scoring fewer than 47.

Christian Music Giants Form Partnership

(PRWEB) August 18, 2005

SongTouch.com and MusiChristian.com to Form Affiliate Program

Today, two of the Christian music industry?s biggest players joined forces to create the single biggest Web portal selling Christian books and music products.

SongTouch.com, a Christian music downloading site, and MusiChristian.com, an online Christian music CD store, will provide the first family-friendly sites that allow access to Christian music downloads and products.

As the focus of their partnership, the two companies will offer a digital music store to churches and other organizations through an affiliate program.

?The idea of launching an affiliate program for churches has been in the back of our mind since we launched SongTouch,? notes David Dickinson, Vice President of Touch Inc. provider of SongTouch. ?But it wasn’t until we met Daniel Smallbone that we knew we had found the right partner with MusiChristian.?

Once developed, churches and other organizations can employ technology developed by the two industry leaders to offer music downloads, compact discs and books to congregations, eager for family-friendly music with a positive message.

SongTouch.com (http://www.songtouch.com) – brainchild of Howard Rachinski, President and CEO of parent company Touch, Inc., and founder of Christian Copyright Licensing International (CCLI) – has become the leading provider of Christian music downloads in six short months. Since its April 2004 launch in Nashville, Tenn., it has amassed more than 30,000 of the newest Christian music tracks in all genres, including rock, rap, worship and performance.

?We see our partnership as a special relationship,? explains Rachinski. ?Smallbone shares our mission to provide family-friendly, faith-based music in a safe environment. Together we can assist churches and other organizations to do the same.?

Daniel Smallbone, then just 21 years old, created MusiChristian.com at the end of 2000. Smallbone?s family background drove him to create MusiChristian.com (http://www.musichristian.com). His father owns a successful record distribution company and his sister is Christian music artist, Rebecca St. James.

?We built MusiChristian because we saw a need in the community,? notes Smallbone, ?As demand for Christian music grows, the supply is often lacking, particularly for those overseas or in rural regions of the U.S.?

MusiChristian.com has become the leading edge Internet seller of Christian music CD?s. The site offers over 100,000 titles of Christian music, and is well known for its savvy use of Internet marketing. Since adding BooksChristian.com two-and-a-half years ago, Smallbone?s business has seen a 500 percent growth year-to-year.

?I have been looking for a reputable downloading site for years,? stated Smallbone. ?SongTouch is the perfect fit, as they share our mission and have proven success in the marketplace.?

About SongTouch

SongTouch.com is a digital Internet store that allows users access to a diverse online collection of Christian music and to copy titles, tracks and albums for $ 0.99 per download. Members have access to music from major Christian record labels, spoken word recordings and concert footage. SongTouch is currently available on Windows operating systems in the U.S. SongTouch is a service of Touch, Inc. headquartered in Portland, Ore.
