The new Civic Type R will have explosive horsepower

Οι πρώτες εκτιμήσεις σχετικά με το επόμενο Civic Type R έκαναν λόγο για 210 horsepower. Οι επόμενες τους ανέβηκαν στους 220-230. Οι τελευταίες, αναφέρουν από 270 until 300 PS! Το μόνο που δεν αλλάζει, είναι ο κυβισμός των 2 λίτρων και το Turbo.

Όπως δήλωσε στο «Auto Express», ο Yasuhisa Arai από το Honda R&D, the 2.000 κυβικά είναι αναγκαία για να ξεπεράσουν την ιπποδύναμη του Renault Megane RS 265!

Είναι γνωστό ότι ο στόχος που έχουν θέσει οι Ιάπωνες είναι το νέο «καυτό» Civic να γίνει το ταχύτερο προσθιοκίνητο hatchback στο Nurburgring, καταρρίπτοντας το ρεκόρ του Megane RS.

Σύμφωνα με τον Arai πάντως, οι λάτρεις των VTEC μπορούν να κοιμούνται και να ονειρεύονται ήσυχοι: στη Honda έχουν επίσης ως στόχο ο νέος κινητήρας να έχει την εκρηκτικότητα των ατμοσφαιρικών μοτέρ της μάρκας στις υψηλές στροφές.

Υπενθυμίζεται ότι το νέο Civic Type R αναμένεται το 2015.

Finally 465 km/h the next Bugatti Veyron

New technologies will be used by their hybrid "beast". 1.600 horses

Bugatti continues to chase performance and doesn't intend to sit idly by until another company overtakes it. Recent reports have been talking about a new Veyron Super to be unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show 2013 and it will pay off neither a little nor a lot 1.600 horsepower!

This means a final around 465 km/h and acceleration from 0 στα 100 km/h in just 1,8 sec.

However, a new piece of news comes from the chief engineer of the plan, Jensschulenburg, who spoke of a hybrid system.

Specifically, speaking to autoexpress.co.uk, he said they are "working on the next super-sports car" and added: “The big challenge is reducing weight—we're looking at some incredible technologies, such as the all-carbon wheel construction. We are thinking about hybrids [systems] also".

Although it is believed that the existing provision with 4 turbochargers with increased capacity at 9.6 l, δεν αποκλείεται το νέο μοντέλο να είναι υβριδικό. On the contrary, σε συνδυασμό με τη μείωση του βάρους και την επαναδιάταξη της μηχανής, θα κάνει το όχημα πιο αποδοτικό.

End, στον τομέα της εμφάνισης κανείς δεν ξέρει τι να περιμένει, αν και δεδομένου της φιλοσοφίας του ομίλου VW, δεν αποκλείεται να δούμε μια εξέλιξη του υπάρχοντος μοντέλου.

The world of Alexander the Great in an online Museum

Newest excavations and studies on the Macedonian soldier in international conference

What might Alexander the Great have to do with the …internet; Apparently none.  Unless the latter becomes the engine for spreading the story,  of ideas,  of the knowledge brought by the world of Alexander the Great.  A gathering, which can become a reality thanks to the “Virtual Museum of Alexander the Great: from the Goats to the Universe",  a program of the Digital Convergence of the General Secretariat of Culture,  which was presented during the four-day 15os 18 November in Naoussa, in the framework of the International Scientific Conference "Discovering the World of Alexander the Great".

“The ecumenical world of the Internet has many features in common with the one created by Alexander, and is therefore somehow conceptually and ideologically related”,  the general secretary Mrs. Lina Mendoni said during her introduction to the conference. And that,  because it is about “a world, where the circulation of ideas, the transmission of knowledge and the fruitful contact and acquaintance with human cultural achievements can be carried out in a way that is massive and efficient but at the same time intimate, personalized and affordable",  as he added.

The 19th Ephorate of Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities headed by archaeologist Mrs. Angeliki Kottaridis organized this conference, in order to present this Virtual Museum to the international scientific community as well as to the wider public, a large and original digital project, carried out with financing 1, 4 million. euros from the NSRF.  After all, this program also performs a "duty",  as Mrs. Mendoni characterized it towards History. Because there may be tens of thousands of websites referring to the great Macedonian,  however to what extent and to what extent this material is reliable,  objective and scientific; And how can one distinguish it from those driven by expediency and propaganda;

"Using all means of modern technology and the Internet in a concerted effort to gather historical and archaeological data, of the sources, of academic interpretations and approaches aimed at synthesis, scientifically valid and at the same time slick and attractive presentation of the form, of the action and legacy of Alexander the Great in world history and human culture, is an important step in the direction of fulfilling this debt" said Mrs. Mendoni.

Ideas and intentions,  distortions and inaccuracies are of course excluded from the preamble,  how else could this Museum for Alexander the Great win the international recognition,  recognition of validity sought. In this Museum, moreover, visitors will not be simple readers of pre-selected entries and texts, but will be participants in a lively and interactive narrative interspersed with photographs., videos and sounds.  So,  virtual reality technologies will allow visitors from every part of the world and at any time of the day to browse through their computer freely in its digital rooms, to be guided through its collections and curious about its exhibits. Periodical exhibitions and special tributes that will be renewed, they will keep their interest and encourage them to return for new visits in the future. Thanks to the virtual character of the museum, its collections and exhibitions will be able to include evidence from any part of the world, even from other museums, in a way that would never be possible for a conventional museum.

Beyond the Virtual Museum though, the conference was an international event for scholars of the history of Macedonian kings, of Alexander the Great and his campaign,  of the empire he created and the change he brought about in the Eastern world. Because it was presented for the first time, through the suggestions of great scientists the overall picture of the research on Alexander the Great and the consequences of his course in the world. A particularly important event was the presentation of the excavations, carried out in the countries, which co-constituted the Hellenistic world. Thus internationally renowned scientists and excavation managers from Turkey, Jordan, Israel, Egypt, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Afghanistan but also from England, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Russia and of course Greece submitted the conclusions of their research and announced the new historical and archaeological data for cities in Asia Minor, of Syro-Palestine, of Mesopotamia Egypt, of Persia, of Bactriani et al.  Because,  as can easily be perceived,  only through global and comprehensive knowledge of the subject can safe conclusions be drawn.

At the same time, it was presented at the conference by the most expert scholars, historians and museum directors the personality of Alexander the Great and his timeless influence in history, myth and art.  And even more,  the new archaeological data, which resulted from the research in the Palace of the Goats, the emblematic building founded by Philip II in the middle of the 4th century. B.C. an architectural, technician, artistic, political and philosophical model of the public building, which would then dominate all Hellenistic, Roman and medieval world. Moreover, the work of the 17th Ephorate in the restoration, preservation and promotion of the Royal Necropolis and the Palace of the Goats, Mrs. Angeliki Kottaridis and the civil engineer of the 16th EPKA were presented, Mrs. Olympia Felekidou.

Christos Holidis: "I have a lion in me that I want to sleep"

Christos Holidis spoke to the People insert of the newspaper Proto Thema about his relationship with the Duchess of Nomiko and the tensions that, as he explained, he doesn't like them and tries to avoid them.

Read the relevant excerpts from the interview below:

The fact that both you and the Duchess do a job that involves a lot of people, it creates a kind of insecurity in you, a jealousy in the relationship between you;
Jealousy exists in man and there is no cure to get rid of it. Beyond that, there is something else called price, reason, and trust. Personally, I give the other the opportunity to move as he wants, to do his job and from there I see and judge.

Why the Duchess can make you take off your clothes;
There are no tensions in our relationship, because I don't want to have them in my life, but neither hysterics. I can't do them. I have a lion in me that I want to sleep. The Duchess is a girl who is not to be played with. He is an awesome person.

Could the Duchess be the mother of your children;
Dangerous question and I will not answer you. (he laughs)

From the end of October when they premiered until last Saturday, the Piraeus Coast store was sold out and everyone was talking about one of the most successful bands of the winter - although seemingly unmatched, the shape managed to show a very strong chemistry.

However, A few days ago there was a departure from the shape that no one expected. The reason for him George Magga, who, during the program he played the clarinet, while his wife was singing - in fact the two of them had their own fanatical audience.

A man close to George Maggas confirmed his departure, stating to Yupiii: "Indeed, George left the group and the reasons were purely personal. There was not the slightest disagreement with the businessman of the store either, nor with the other artists. George left as a friend. Just the big issue he faced was that of distance, since he lives in Kammena Vourla and he had to 3 times a week to spend the night in Athens, where he has no home and had to stay in a hotel. This was a trouble for George and so he decided to leave- although he was very upset ".

The successful team of Piraeus Coast continues its regular appearances, with Michalis Hatzigiannis, Giannis Zouganelis and Sakis Boulas to lead and give the 100% of themselves to entertain the audience.
