Value for Money - Hyundai

COSTA MESA, Calif., Oct. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ – With yesterday’s September sales press release, Hyundai Motor America has begun disclosing both its sales-weighted Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) results and its average window-label fuel economy results. Hyundai is the first automaker to disclose either of these important fuel economy data points. (Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20091001/HYUNDAILOGO) “At the beginning of the year, we began reporting monthly sales-weighted Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) results, to allow journalist, policy-makers, and consumers the ability to judge our progress against the evolving CAFE standards,” said John Krafcik, Hyundai Motor America’s president and CEO.  ”Now, we are going one step further and sharing average window-label fuel economy results, so stakeholders can better understand the very real difference between these two metrics.”

CAFE fuel economy is based on data from fuel economy tests and does not include adjustments taken to reflect real-world driving conditions. These are used to set federal standards. Average window-label fuel economy is what is shown on the vehicle window sticker.  It is calculated by taking data from fuel economy tests and applying adjustments which results in ratings that more accurately reflect what drivers will get in real-world driving. Each month Hyundai will provide both sets of data to ensure that journalists, policy-makers, and consumers understand the significant differences between CAFE standard fuel economy values and real-world fuel economy values.

“CAFE values, since they are unadjusted for real-world driving conditions, are more than 30 percent higher than the real-world adjusted fuel economy values shown on new car window stickers,” said Krafcik. “It’s important to continue to make this point so the dialogue around fuel economy standards, which are based on CAFE values and not real-world values, can be put into the appropriate context.”

MONEY - money.ca - CA MONEY

MONEY – Money Canada - “You and Your Money”  and “Me and My Money” is all about personal finance and MONEY. Canadian Money and its history goes back a long time in Canada. The history of Canada built by the feuding English and French armies has made the country rich with its glorious past and stable in its future. The Canadian dollar has reached parity with the U.S. dollar and the general economy is much better due to Canadian banks that relatively avoided the mortgage backed security fiasco.  The Canadian capital markets went carefully and relatively nntouched by market collapses.  The Bank of Canada cautioned all banks in Canada to always be careful with their licence to make money. The incredible greed banks have to make more and more profit off the backs of hard working Canadians continues to work while most of the banking and investing public hardly notice.

MONEY.ca and MONEY Magazine go out of its comfort zone to ask the questions and get the answers that really express the economy as a whole and how it applies to the average Canadian investor. With the question of “Financial Literacy”  on all Canadians minds, MONEY goes on to express cleary “Poverty Sucks” and with education, interest and participation more and more Canadians will have a wealth of knowledge determined to make, save and preserve more money over the long-term.  In working with other professionals, investors and advisors MONEY has created the online financial marketplace that champions issues and concerns of the general investing public.  Important tools, information and technology have been combined to simply attract and retain the attention of Canadian investors and their hard working  Advisor Channel.

“Poverty Sucks” in plain language and there is only one way out; Knowledge is still power and no words could be truer. By way of education, understanding and discipline any indivual can make a better life and afford a better retirement by following simple and straightforward rules, concepts and proven theories.

MONEY.CA wants you to take an active interest in your own finances and also that of others who are less fortunate and may not be able to read, understand and act upon good information and advice.  The time is now to participate for yourself and point others in the right direction. You may be able to help yourself, your friends, family or your own children by sharing the good news that Canadians are becoming more financially savvy and are willing to share their research and insight.

You are an individual Canadian investor who want s to beat the index or the returns of the average investor. It will come to you if you also seek it out.  By demanding more in a collective investors and shareholders can push investment management in the right directions at the right time through their own organized clout.  The time to organize and participate is now, demand better service and communication and seek it out when not immidiately available or start your own investment club.  The more active you are and the higher standards of returns and ethics you demand can only benefit the unsuspecting investor who once turned around becomes a strong believer and asset to get more Canadians singing off the same song sheet where money managers and fundcos get the message loud and clear.

New Canadian Money

www.money.ca :Leading the Charge—Researching and Developing Canada’s Polymer Bank Notes

OTTAWA, July 15, 2011 /CNW/ – We all know that money doesn’t grow on trees, but have you ever stopped to wonder just where those $20 bills in your wallet come from? Not ‘come from’ as in which ABM dispensed the bills, or which retailer physically handed them to you, but how a note goes from a concept to a well-engineered product.

Designing bank notes is a process that never really ends. As the Bank of Canada launches its new series of polymer notes, thought is already being given to the series that will follow. But let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves. How did the Polymer series come to be?

The work of the Bank of Canada’s Currency Development Team includes constantly evaluating possible counterfeiting threats and new security features. Security is always the driving force behind issuing new bank notes, and being on top of leading-edge features is essential.

A new series takes several years to develop and test. The Polymer series was about five years in the making and it took a team of engineers, chemists, physicists, researchers, artists and analysts at the Bank and its partners to bring it to life.

Custom-made

User needs are a key consideration. Groups from retailers, police agencies, financial institutions, bank note equipment manufacturers, the blind and partially-sighted community, and the general public are consulted along the way. All have an important part to play in the planning process. Considerations include note verification by machines and people, how long notes will last and their environmental footprint. The final result is a series of notes made for Canadians.

The new Polymer series goes one step further and includes a unique combination of security features not seen before anywhere in the world. The combination of polymer material and bold security features like the large transparent window—with a detailed metallic portrait and building—is all about staying one step ahead of counterfeiters.

Thinking Like the Bad Guys

Members of the Currency Development Team must think like a counterfeiter. “Staying ahead of counterfeiting is definitely a unique aspect of our job,” says Ted Garanzotis, the team’s Senior Scientific Adviser. Studying the counterfeiting techniques used by criminals and trying to counterfeit Canada’s bank notes makes for a pretty exceptional job description!

Tried and True

Durability testing is another aspect of research and development. Bank notes are subjected to extensive wear and tear testing to see how they will hold up in the real world. Notes are evaluated for resistance to crumpling, tearing, extreme temperatures and prolonged sun exposure, to name a few.

The Currency Development Team is responsible for producing state-of-the-art bank notes that strike the right balance between being easy to verify and hard to counterfeit notes that Canadians will be able to use with the highest confidence.
