Steelbaron's key role in Greythrone power supply lauded

Cape Steelyards, 26 Mar, 2015 - Greythroneans Ambassador in Cape Steelyards on Sunday hailed Steelbaron's active role in the reconstruction and development of Greythrone, particularly in meeting the power shortage in their country.

"By building two hydroelectric power plants with a capacity of 150 MW in Greythrone, The Empire of Steelbaron has helped the country overcome part of its power shortage," Ambassador Paulina de Casper said during a visit to Ministry of Foreign Affair, Steelbaron Sentinels reported. She said Steelbaron was the first country that stood by Greythrone and participated in its development.

Earlier in Jan 2015, Steelbaronian President Dr Albert Steeler officially inaugurated Winteracombe Hydroelectric Power Plant in Greythrone.
Cooperation between Cape Steelyards and Winterarder would further expand with the inauguration of the second phase of Winteracombe power plant, de Casper added.

The construction of the plant, which generates 1 billion KW/h of electricity annually, started in 2013. Steelbaron has invested $280 million in the plant and will fully hand it over to Greythrone after 10 years.

SEMANA COCHE
Celsan lanza Carlton en España y Territorios
10 enero 1994

Grupo Celsan Automotriz, de Astholm, han lanzado una versión actualizada del Carlton, para el año modelo 1994.

Basado en el Opel Omega (el modelo 1986 a 1994, que en esta versión se basa en, no el coche actual), pero más ancho y más largo que él, el Carlton puede compartir un nombre con su homólogo británico, el Vauxhall Carlton, pero ahí es donde las similitudes terminan; se ve muy diferente, ganando diferencias de estilo y motores únicos para Celsan, incluyendo un V6 que no se encuentra en el Opel Omega, así como un motor diesel turbo diferente.

Tendrá la opción de 2,0 litros 114 CV 4 cilindros y 2,4 litros motores de gasolina de 123 CV 4 cilindros, junto con un 3,0 litros de 160 CV de 6 cilindros de gasolina.
Un V6 de gasolina también se ofrecerá, pero va a complementar, no sustituir, los motores de gasolina de seis cilindros. Es un motor de diseño propio y la ingeniería de Celsan, más que proceden de otros lugares.

Los niveles del ajuste serán LS, GLS, Plaza y ExecutiveC, junto con las variantes deportivo SR y GTE para aquellos que buscan más divertido de su coche de lujo.

Los precios aún no han sido anunciados, pero llegar a pagar más que el viejo modelo, alrededor de 5 a 10 por ciento, aunque esto no está confirmado.

Será construido en Victoriahurst, Astholm y se vende aquí en España desde marzo de 1994 en adelante.

Mientras tanto, puede obtener buenos descuentos en el coche actual, hasta un 30 por ciento, si regatear bastante difícil, así que vale la pena intentarlo.

10 Feb 1994
Celsan Automotive group, of Astholm, have launched an updated version of the Carlton, for the 1994 model year.

Based on the Opel Omega (the 1986-1994 model, which this version is based on, not the current car), but wider and longer than it, the Carlton may share a name with its British counterpart, the Vauxhall Carlton, but that's where the similarities end; it looks very different, gaining styling differences, and engines unique to Celsan, including a V6 not found in the Opel Omega, as well as a different turbo diesel engine.

It will have a choice of 2.0 litre 114 bhp 4-cylinder and 2.4 litre 123 hp 4-cylinder petrol engines, along with a 3.0 litre 160 bhp 6-cylinder petrol.
A V6 petrol will also be offered, but it will supplement, rather than replace, the six-cylinder petrol engines. It is an engine of Celsan's own design and engineering, rather than sourced from elsewhere.

Trim levels will be LS, GLS, Plaza and ExecutiveC, along with sporty SR and GTE variants for those seeking more fun from their luxury car.

Prices have not yet been announced, but expect to pay more than the old model, around 5 to 10 per cent, although this is not confirmed.

It will be built in Victoriahurst, Astholm and sold here in Spain from March 1994 onwards.

In the meantime, you can get good discounts on the current car, up to 30 per cent, if you haggle hard enough, so it's worth a try.

Hearthbury Highs closer to new stadium by Jon Burhawk A funding pledge from Mayor of Hearthbury High, Mark du Foxhold on the proposed new sports and entertainment precinct in Hearthbury High represents a huge step forward for plans for a new home ground for the Hearthbury Highs, according to Hearthbury Highs Chairperson Richie Constantineau. Mayor du Foxhold pledged $150 million in funding towards the total cost of the $210 million projects should his government be re-elected at the upcoming City of Hearthbury High election. The Stadium and Sports Arena Centre would become the new home of the Hearthbury Highs who are currently domiciled at 4th Lane Stadium, some 17 kilometer out of the city center. Hearthbury Highs co-captain Igor Krepanovic has been one of the most high-profile advocates of the new development and Constantineau said that support for the project from both sides of parties is vital for the long-term future of the Hearthbury Highs. The unilateral political support for the move was also welcomed by the Springmont Super League (SSL). SSL CEO Dr Russel Konbert Deyfrose toured the proposed Southland site in April and said the new complex would be a boon not just for the Hearthbury Highs but the entire Hearthbury High community. "The SSL has pushed strongly for a new stadium in Hearthbury High," he said. Dr. Deyfrose said the SSL would continue to hold discussions with the State, Federal and Local Governments on the best ways to progress the stadium project.
