New Volvo XC90 the 2014

Volvo recently confirmed a series of refreshes, inside 2013, for the XC90, but now clearly affirms that the 2014 we will welcome the next generation of the model.
Based on the Scalable Product Architecture corporate philosophy (SPA), his XC90 2014, will stand out for its very advanced design, as can be seen from the first sketches that see the light of day and which, in any case, show differences, which means that Volvo has not yet reached its final decision.

also, it becomes clear that the brand's 6-cylinder engine, they will be replaced by new 4-cylinders, lighter ones, more economical, but also more powerful in the implementation of what the Swedes call Volvo Environmental Architecture (VEA). The vice president of Volvo, Peter Mertens, for the sake of truth he emphasized that: “The new philosophy, already applied to 2/3 of our products. The 40% of materials are used in all our models, regardless of size and thus profit is significant, without reducing our competitiveness”.

Volvo Cross Traffic Alert

The leaps in technology are huge in the automotive sector, something that is proven in practice with all the innovations that the manufacturing companies offer to the buying public.
One of them, the Volvo, offers yet another aid to drivers, for even greater security.

The Swedish company is loyal to the purpose of making safe cars, introduces a new technological achievement to the field of motoring. This is called Cross Traffic Alert and equips its new model, the V40. The system in question belongs to the optional equipment of the model, but it undoubtedly raises the bar extremely high in the field of active safety.

Nouns, Cross Traffic Alert is your guardian angel, when reversing to leave a parking space. Something extremely important, especially when you're parked in a tight spot and side visibility is almost non-existent.

The V40 is equipped with radar sensors at the rear which, admittedly, they do all the work. These sensors have operating ranges 30 meters and warn the driver of oncoming vehicles, when he is about to reverse and cross traffic.

Volvo says that beyond cars, the system in question can also detect smaller volume "obstacles", such as bicycles and pedestrians, but at a distance shorter than that of 30 meters.
When the sensors detect an obstacle, the driver is alerted via an audible and visual alert, with the latter being displayed on the central screen.

Culture starts at school- Program of the Ministry of Culture for young people

Applying the principle, that civilization begins from childhood and from the education that each person will receive is the program, drawn up by the Ministry of Culture.

Its aim is to strengthen and enrich the educational process as well as the training and aesthetic education of young people with material from the vast national, cultural reserve. Why, as she typically mentioned in her presentation at the ICOM Greek Working Group Conference – CZECH (ICOM International Council of Museums – Greek Department and Committee for Education and Cultural Action) the general secretary of Culture Mrs. Lina Mendoni "Can education and culture be interrelated concepts and that everyone considers, that they are governed by a relationship of mutual dependence, unfortunately, however, the theoretically self-evident is not necessarily identical with the practically given". After all, the country's shortcomings in this field are huge, so the actions really target the essence of the problem.

Here are the programs designed by the Museums Directorate, Exhibitions and Educational Programs of the General Secretariat of Culture, which are included in the Operational Program "Education and Lifelong Learning" of the National Strategic Reference Framework, 2007-2013. As mentioned by Mrs. Mendoni, the basic elements of the identity of the acts performed are summarized as follows:

 – "Updating and digitizing cultural educational material to enhance the educational process", which means the renewal of existing educational programs of the Regional and Special Regional Services of the General Directorate of Antiquities and Cultural Heritage, the design of new teaching tools based on modern concepts and specifications, the selection of encyclopedic and supervisory material, etc. a. In fact, all the material will be made available in digital format through a special online hub as well as optical discs, which will be sent to all schools in the territory.

 – "In the footsteps of the Bible: the history of writing and language in the Greek area", a program that aims to study and understand the genesis and evolution of language and writing over time.

 – "Design and production of pedagogical tools to highlight the importance of theater in ancient times and today" with the aim of consolidating knowledge and strengthening students' relationship with theater, this very special and unique creation of Greek culture.

 – "The theater as an institution of education and state education in antiquity and today". This action is linked to the previous one and aims at the design and implementation of an archaeological educational exhibition, as well as experiential workshops on ancient theater, its evolution and effect over time. The installation will include replicas of ancient artefacts related to theater and performances, such as musical instruments and mask molds, which will be combined and supplemented with special explanatory constructions and multimedia interactive applications and presentations.

 – "Design and production of educational tools for the modern urban environment and architectural heritage". The purpose is to offer cognitive tools and effective teaching methods, that will help students understand the built environment of the city they live in and examine their own possibilities of intervention to improve and enhance it

 – "City and cultural identity: Design and production of educational tools to highlight the cultural heritage of the eight Convergence Regions", which concerns the design and implementation of educational tools to strengthen the teaching of Primary and Secondary Education students in the Convergence Regions included in the Priority Axis 1 (Eastern Macedonia

– Thrace, Thessaly, Continent, Ionian Islands, Western Greece, Peloponnese, North Aegean, Crete).

Kostas Martakis: What an extreme thing he has done for a love;

THEKostas Martakis the descriptions "sexy" and "handsome" he hears with embarrassment, while working hard and constantly conquering things in the music scene!
For one more time we meet you in Thessaloniki, which we have spotted you visiting and just for fun.
In general, I love Thessaloniki. I feel like it's my city. This is where I started my career and the people received me with a lot of love. I like the air of the city and par’ all the problems of the days thessalonians do not lose your fun. I like to come on vacation to Thessaloniki and Halkidiki, but I like performing live here more. I feel your love very strongly.
This time we meet youat the side of Yannis Plutarchos.
Basically, I want to say a big "thank you" to Giannis Plutarchos for this honor he is doing me. It's a collaboration I really wanted. I can say that I dreamed of her, because he is one of the greatest artists of his generation. I really love his songs and admire him as an artist. I also like that in his career so far he has not given rights to comments. In our company will be Eleanna Papaioannou and Joakim Fokas. The space where we appear is familiar and familiar to me and my collaboration with the businessman is excellent and always very successful. This program begins with the best conditions.
In Thessaloniki, I imagine that you will also spend Christmas...
Yes, we will spend the holidays in Thessaloniki, in the company of her wonderful world.
You don't mind being away from home;
It is not the first time that I will celebrate holidays away from my family. It will be specifically the sixth, which christmas will i work. It doesn't bother me, Nevertheless, because all these times I celebrated Christmas with a wonderful audience. During the holidays it is important to spend them with people who show you their love. I am very lucky to experience something like this.
You welcomed the new season with the song "You got something from me".
It's a song that I love very much because slowly as I grow up, my repertoire also matures. The composer of the song is Marios Psimopoulos and the lyrics of the song are by Eleni Giannatchoulia, who by the way is also my aunt. I am very happy that we are working together for the first time. I see that "You got something from me" is very popular and people accept me in something other than,what has he taught me.
Εσείς δίνετε πολλά στις σχέσεις σας αμέσως ή ανήκετε στην κατηγορία που ακολουθούν αργά αργά βήματα;
Γενικά στις σχέσεις μου δεν μου αρέσει να σκέφτομαι, μου αρέσει να τα δίνω όλα από την αρχή. Είμαι άνθρωπος που παθιάζεται, αλλά δυστυχώς εδώ και λίγα χρόνια τα πράγματα είναι δύσκολα. Αυτήν την περίοδο είμαι αφοσιωμένος 100% at my work.
Because of love you have gone out of bounds;
Yes, i'm out. In love I operate with passion and emotion.
What extreme do you remember yourself having done;
To argue with my whole company about a love affair. In the end I regretted it, because our friends and people are above all and always by our side. The loves are coming, they leave. Only loves remain.
Avoid going to familiar places and also avoid talking about your partner.
I don't like to bother people with my personal stuff. If you want to not be seen, θα πας σε μέρη που δεν σε εντοπίζουν. Αν δεν είναι κάτι σοβαρό, δεν έχω λόγο να το προβάλω απλώς για να υπάρχω σταmedia και τα περιοδικά.

Jacques Audiard: In the crisis, instinct prevails

The French director of the film "Body to Body", of a love story in a time of crisis, it talks about its contradictions and the golden ratio between quality and commercialism

"Don't call me an artist!» shouts Jacques Audiard. "It's a very difficult word and I can't define it. For’ that's why I prefer the term “creative”, word more tangible and specific. The creator constructs something, what exactly does the artist do?;». Writer Craig Ferguson and I sit in a room at the Carlton Hotel in Cannes a few days after the world premiere of Audiard's latest film Body to Body last May. There the wonderful Marion Cotillard plays a whale trainer who loses her legs after an accident but finds the will to live again after meeting a lonely sidewalk boxer (Matias Senerts), who circulates on the French Riviera with his minor son.
Although the term "artist" does not like Odyar, "Body to Body" is an artistic film. I point out to him that at the press conference the day before he had referred to cinema using the phrase "art form". "You're right," he replies immediately. "What should I do?, I am full of contradictions! But when I hear them call me a poet… what can i say; I'm not a poet. Rimbaud and Verlaine were poets, me not".
For "Body to Body" Odyar and Ferguson used many scattered ideas from the latter's collection of short stories. "I was interested in telling a love story in a crisis situation," says Jacques Audiard, whose previous film, "The Prophet", liked it a lot in Greece. "Crisis at all levels, not only the economic one. People who eat from the garbage, people who have lost their legs, children growing up without a family. In the novel “They kill the horses when they get old” of Horace McCoy, which refers to the period of the great crisis of '29, people had to dance themselves to the death in order to survive. Today they will have to fight until the end on the road. But they still kill the horses when they get old, it is not so; In a crisis man's only weapon is his physical strength. In a crisis instinct again prevails".
For Jacques Audiard cinema is a very democratic art but it still remains an industry. A film critic he holds in high esteem once told him that there are two doors you can walk through to enter the world of cinema: one big and pop and one small, better quality. "The ideal is to enter a little bit of both. You have to think about the audience when you write, not just yourself.  For me, fer’ they said, when you decide to end a tragic movie with a tragedy, you suffer from a lack of imagination".

When & where:
The movie "Body to Body" is shown in theaters from 29 November distributed by Seven Films.

Garelli's "racing history" is for sale

In the "hammer" rare GP motorcycles, among them the Lazzarini champions, Nuvolari

Almost two dozen motorcycles Garelli Grand Prix they all come together at an auction in Paris. They are the property of one and only collector who until now were kept in a private… chapel, apparently as "sacred" objects that they are!

Among them there are some pre-war models, but also several from the 80s, when Garelli was at the zenith of her racing success. In other words, Garelli's racing history is for sale.

One of the most important collector's items, it's a Garelli 50 of cubic 1963 which held the world speed record and is estimated by 48 as 60.000 euro. Also the racing 50 of Eugenio Lazzarini (1983) with which Garelli took the Manufacturer's Title that year (estimated by 12-18.000 euro).

End, a replica of the GP125 two-stroke twin-cylinder that in the 80s won six Riders' Titles and 4 Manufacturers (estimated by 6 – 10.000 euro).

Part of the same collection are two non-Garelli racing bikes: Fred Merkel's Honda RC30 which the American SBK World Champion rode this season 1989-90 (estimated at 17.000 – 30.000 euro) and the Yamaha TZ250W ridden by French rider Jean-François Baldé in his final year in Grand Prix racing, the 1989 (estimated at 3.000 – 3.500 euro).

The auction is being conducted by Bonhams at the Grand Palais in Paris, at 6 February 2013.
