Alien Adventure is a science fiction/slapstick comedy 3D film in IMAX format released in 1999 by nWave Pictures, written and directed by Ben Stassen. The movie was rated G (or the local equivalent) in most countries. It was the first fully digital feature-length film produced for a large-screen format.

Plot
An extraterrestrial humanoid species, the Glegoliths, are wandering through space in search of a new world. Encountering an unknown planet (which turns out to be Earth), the Glegolith leader Cyrillus sends two "manned" probes to the surface to determine if it is suitable for colonisation.

The scouts in the probes think they have arrived at a great city, but in fact they have arrived at a new amusement park that is not yet open to the public. They proceed to explore four amusement rides :
 Arctic Adventure (motion simulator ride in a freezing environment);
 Magic Carpet (a ride in an Arabian Nights-themed dungeon);
 Kid Coaster (a roller coaster set in a gigantic simulation of a child's bedroom); and
 Aqua Adventure (an underwater-themed motion simulator ride, complete with animatronic sharks).

At each ride the Glegolith scouts become variously excited, frightened, frozen or violently ill, but end up having a lot of fun. On seeing this, Cyrillus decides that the new planet "was too much fun" and would destroy the fabric of his society, and orders his scouts to withdraw. The alien visitors depart Earth without actually making contact with humans.

Production notes
The exotic looking alien script seen in several places in this movie is actually the real Glagolitic alphabet. The name of the alien leader - Cyrillus - bears a resemblance to Saint Cyril, who invented the Glagolitic alphabet. Also, the language spoken by the aliens (which is never translated in the movie) is the Walloon language, a real dialect from Belgium, where the movie was produced. It is completely unrelated to the Glegolithic script. On the approach of the manned probes to the surface, the coastline appears to be that of California. The outdoor shots of the theme park are from a real French theme park, "Parc Du Futuroscope".

Reception
Robert Koehler of Variety called it "a sputtering vehicle for showcasing the Imax 3D format."

Home media
It was released on DVD in the US slingshot Home Entertainment and the UK Escapi x.c.q DVD.

Camuropiscis is an extinct genus of arthrodire placoderm from the Early Frasnian stage of the Late Devonian period, found at the Gogo Formation of Kimberley, Western Australia.  The species of Camuropiscis had a flattened, elongated snout that may have aided in enhancing its hydrodynamic streamlining.

Etymology
Camuropiscis translates as "flat-nosed fish."

Phylogeny
Camuropiscis is a member of the family Camuropiscidae under the superfamily Incisoscutoidea, which belongs to the clade Coccosteomorphi, one of the two major clades within Eubrachythoraci. The cladogram below shows the phylogeny of Camuropiscis:

The Hyundai HB20 is a subcompact car produced by South Korean manufacturer Hyundai Motor Company since 2012 in Brazil. It is the first and only Hyundai model strategically developed and produced exclusively for the Brazilian market. Offered with a range of flex-fuel engines, it was not exported to other Latin American countries until 2016, when it began to be sold in Paraguay and Uruguay, and eventually in Mexico in 2022.

"HB" stands for "Hyundai Brasil", while the number "20" is the company’s characterization for vehicles in this segment in line with the similarly sized Hyundai i20.



First generation (HB; 2012) 

It has two engine options, which are 1.0-litre and 1.6 litre. The higher versions do feature a 1.6-litre Gamma engine with 128 hp. The HB20 is available with both automatic and manual transmission for both 1.0-litre and 1.6-litre.

In 2013, over 75% of the HB20 parts are made in Brazil.

HB20S
The Hyundai HB20S is the sedan version of the HB20 hatchback. It has the same engine and transmission choices from the regular HB20. It has the same wheelbase as the hatchback but is longer with  and has a bigger trunk (450 liters against three hundred liters in the regular HB20).

HB20X 
The Hyundai HB20X is a mini SUV version which sets it apart from the standard HB20. As is the case for other similar models, it is available only with front-wheel drive. It is produced and sold only in Brazil to compete in the expanding mini SUV market.

This version contains mixed use tires, a suspension raised slightly and a few visual upgrades. It is available only with the 1.6-litre Gamma engine.

Concept car 

The Hyundai HB20 R-Spec Concept was presented at the 2014 São Paulo Motor Show.

Safety
The HB20 in its most basic version for Latin America received 3 stars for adult occupants and 1 star for toddlers from Latin NCAP in March 2013.

The updated HB20 in its most basic version for Latin America received 4 stars for adult occupants and 3 stars for toddlers from Latin NCAP in November 2013.

Second generation (BR2; 2019) 

The second generation HB20 was launched on 17 September 2019. It is also available in a crossover-look variant named HB20X.

Facelift 
The facelifted HB20 was released in July 2022 for the 2023 model year.

On 27 September 2022, the HB20 arrived to the Mexican market, replacing the locally-built Accent. Available in both sedan and hatchback body styles, the HB20 is available in three trim levels; GL (sedan only), GL Mid, and GLS. It is also available with an automatic or manual transmission.

Safety
The most basic version for Latin America with 2 airbags and ESC received 1 star for adult occupants and 3 stars for toddlers from Latin NCAP in 2019 (one level above 2010-2015).

The most basic version for Latin America with 2 airbags, driver pretensioner and no ESC received 0 stars from Latin NCAP in 2020 under its new protocol (one level above 2019, similar to Euro NCAP 2014).
