Customer Review: Design does not work for the ‘06 Civic
The dimensions are great but the shade material is not rigid. With the very large windshield in the 06 Civic, the shade will fall onto the dash even when using the sun visors to hold it in place. The 06 Civic needs a shade that is more rigid. Maybe a different material or some battens to make it hold its shape would solve the problem.
Customer Review: Not the greatest design
First, the cut is great because it fits perfect. However, it does not fold up for easy storage, you have to roll it up. This causes the ends to roll inward after a while. My Civic has a long windshield so they included suction cups in the middle of the sunscreen to hold it to the windshield so it will not fall. Well, the suction cups are fixed to the shield with plastic and break when you try to remove the sunscreen. After “rigging” them back into place they melt in the sun and deform to the point they no longer work. You have to have the suction cups for it to work. Very bad design.

The Bio-Ethanol Fuel Dilemma - A Qualitative Research
ABSTRACT
Bio-fuels are non-fossil fuels, produced from agriculture sources, residues, and waste. Bio-ethanol refers to ethanol produced from crops (e.g., corn-ethanol and sugar-ethanol) and from waste (i.e., biomass-ethanol). ?The motivation for developing bio-ethanol as a transportation fuel is based on concerns about energy security, environmental quality, economic competitiveness, and stabilization of the agricultural sector.? (National Research Council [NRC], 1999, p. 6) Brazil?s three-decade experience in sugarcane-ethanol is considered a success by its government, although criticized by some researchers (Pimentel, 2001; Pimentel et al., 2002). Corn-ethanol production in North America is highly controversial; its cost, its energy balance, and its socio-economical effects are strongly debated between researchers. Biomass-ethanol, produced from farm and municipality waste is still in its early technological and industrial development. This quantitative research presents and analyzes the arguments, and concludes with recommendations for the short- and the long-term; recommendations that are best suited? for North America and that take into account all the aspects presented in this research paper.
