At the entrance of the Guia Fortress, where the lighthouse and the mast are located, the current signals are displayed to signal the intensity of the tropical cyclones, as well as monsoons. Today, there is a small museum open to visitors with information on the signals and some of the more powerful typhoons to have struck Macau in the past. The current warning signal, indicated by numbers and corresponding graphics code, was created in 1912 by the Port Authority of Macao in line with the system used in the coastal areas of China and Hong Kong. Before that, a complex flag system developed by the Shanghai Meteorological Bureau was used.

[Source : Volvo intranet] Typeset in LATEX Gothenburg, Sweden 2019 iv Abstract The competition is tremendously tough in the premium sector of the automotive industry. The demand is high on having thoughtful designs in every part of the vehicle and achieving zero defects is simply not enough. The customer plays an important role and has a big influence on the perceived quality of the car. Volvo Cars has developed an interest in making their current top tether, which is the part of an ISOFIX system used to connect a forward-facing child seat in a car, stand out from the crowd and give an impression of premium design. To assist Volvo in making that happen, this thesis work has been carried out and aimed to discover the framework for how to develop a premium top tether.

  • The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY of ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University Ofhong Kong
    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa­ tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.

    1 NOVEMBER 2016 Modeljaar 2017 VOLVO S60 & V60 POLESTAR VOLVOCARS.BE Wij streefden in de Volvo S60 en V60 Polestar naar een zo natuurlijk, intuïtief en menselijk mogelijke communicatie. Volvo Sensus geeft u de kans om op een unieke, instinctieve manier met uw auto te communiceren en in contact te blijven met de digitale wereld. Bovendien hebben we de S60 en V60 Polestar uitgerust met stembediening voor de functies die u het meest gebruikt: selecteer gewoon het gewenste menu en praat tegen uw S60 en V60 Polestar als tegen een mens. Aangevuld met Volvo On Call is de band tussen u en uw auto sterker dan ooit, terwijl uw auto ook steeds in contact blijft met de buitenwereld. In 1927 besloten onze oprichters Assar Gabrielsson en Gustaf Larson degelijke auto’s te gaan fabriceren die waren opgewassen tegen de Zweedse landwegen. Maar sterk alleen was niet genoeg – ze hadden ook een visie: “Auto’s worden bestuurd door mensen. Het uitgangspunt bij alles wat we bij Volvo maken, is en blijft daarom veiligheid”. De S60 en V60 Polestar zijn voorzien van een reeks intuïtieve veiligheidstechnologieën. Ze ondersteunen u bij uw dagelijkse ritten, beschermen u bij ongevallen en streven ernaar die te voorkomen. We noemen het IntelliSafe. We weten dat Polestar-eigenaren houden van rijden zonder zorgen. Daarom biedt IntelliSafe een aantal slimme technologieën, zoals City Safety, Collision Warning met Full Auto Brake en Pedestrian Detection. Drive-E vormt het hart van al onze modellen. Het is onze totaalaanpak voor duurzaam rijden.
