Strauss-Kahn's wife talks about everything

Anne Sinclair explains how she experienced the scandal herself




Eight months after the sexual scandal of the former president of the IMF, Dominique Strauss Kan, his wife, Ann Sinclair decided to break her silence for the first time. The French journalist spoke to the editor-in-chief of the French women's magazine ELLE, If Cecil Sarfati, for everything she went through.
Khan was accused of raping maid Nafisato Diallo during his stay at the Sofitel hotel in New York. Throughout the humiliating legal ordeal, Sinclair chose to stand by her husband's side., thus infuriating many women who accused her of betraying her gender and legitimizing violence against women. "This attitude is unacceptable, since prosecutors chose not to pursue the case. So there was no violence. Violence scares me," he says. Khan himself has admitted to having sex with Diallo, but not by force. For Sinclair, being a feminist does not mean you have to "interfere in other women's lives, for you to decide for them what is moral or not".
One of the central figures of the scandal that caused a frenzy in the media worldwide, the journalist explains how she experienced it herself. “Being a subject of suspicion, permanent harassment to find out what is going on in your home, there is something Orwellian about it, the absolutist" he tells the magazine. However, it distinguishes the American from the French media, as he believes in France they tend to be lazy and inaccurate. Something she will likely want to change as director of the Huffington Post's French branch which launches on 23 January.
It's hard not to criticize a woman's decision to stand by her unfaithful husband, even more so when it comes to Strauss-Kahn who is known for his adventures in France and beyond. However, η Αν Σινκλέρ είναι μια γυναίκα που ζητά το δικαίωμα να αποφασίζει η ίδια για τη ζωή της και επιθυμεί να την αφήσουν ελεύθερη να το κάνει. "Every woman should live her life as she believes. Each to their own," he concludes.

Yannis Stankoglou: «Έχω κάνει ψυχανάλυση»

The well-known actor Yannis Stankoglou admitted in a recent interview that:

“I have done psychoanalysis before and it has helped me a lot. There are times when you need to speak up for someone to show you the way".

Indeed, it seems that the actor has been particularly helped, as he admits what his faults are:

“My biggest flaw is that I am very selfish. also, my other faults are that I can be abrupt at times and dependent at others, like not being able to quit smoking".

Anyway, Yannis Stankoglou has no other dependencies, as he says about alcohol: "I don't drink excessively. Normal stuff. I'll drink my beer to relax".

In September the premiere for the new VW Golf!

According to all indications, at the Paris International Motor Show next September, VW is expected to officially present the seventh consecutive generation of the popular Golf.

Undoubtedly, the Golf is a model that marked the modern history of the automotive industry, recording excellent sales figures all over Europe. The 2012 is another very important milestone in its many years of history (SS.: we remind you that the first generation model was presented in 1974), as its seventh consecutive generation will be officially presented at the upcoming Paris Motor Show. But what's different?, in relation to the sixth, it is expected to bring with it the new Golf;

By design, despite the fact that the German small-medium hatch is expected to retain close ties to the past, its overall silhouette is expected to be more sporty and dynamic in character, thanks to its specific characteristics, which have already been curated by VW stylists led by Walter de Silva, as is the stronger inclination of the windshield, the narrowest mask, the smaller-sized LED technology lighting bodies at the front and the more curved configuration of the roof. From now on, inside the Mk7 VW Golf the changes are expected to be equally extensive, with the cabin having a driver-centric approach, the dashboard new aesthetics, but even better, in quality and touch, materials. Structurally, the new VW Golf will "step", as well as the new Audi A3 sibling, which will make its official debut in March at the Geneva Motor Show, on the new flexible and… versatile in terms of the dimensions of the platform of the German group (see MQB, i.e. Modularer Querbaukasten in German and Modular Transverse Matrix in English). It is worth taking the opportunity to note that it is expected to "build" more than 3 million cars within the VW group and by extension many of the upcoming new Audi models (new A3 and TT), Skoda (new Octavia) and Seat (new Leon).

In the field of mechanical parts, VW executives are expected to follow the beaten track by placing under the hood of the car the well-known petrol and diesel engines of the TSI and TDI families, which will have a capacity of 1,2 until 2,0 liters and power up to 300 horsepower. It is also very likely that we will see 3-cylinder units under the hood of the new Golf (with turbo of course), while certainly in the near future it is expected, beyond the GTi version, and a plug-in hybrid. The familiar DSG gearboxes, either with 6 either with 7 relationships, they are considered out-of-the-box options anymore, combined with the well-known manual 6-speed gearbox of the group.

According to the information so far, the new Skoda Octavia is expected to be presented for the first time in the French capital, while in the current year - for now though, unknown when- the new Seat Leon is also expected.

Keeway RK600: New cheap street from China!

A new model called RK 600 Keeway announced. The new 4-cylinder motorcycle will be the first big street, from China, which will also be introduced to European markets.
According to the British journalist, Kevin Ash, where the first information came from, the RK6 is a bare 4 cylinder street, which will have a particularly low price and will be placed at the lower end of the category in terms of cost. Its design, as you can see in the photos it is quite modern. The rear shock absorber is mounted off-centre, the exhausts are under the saddle and the swingarm is reminiscent of SS motorcycles. The hybrid frame also manages to stand out.
Its front part is a grid and is made of steel while the back is made of aluminum plates. The image is completed by the inverted front fork and radially mounted 4-piston calipers.
According to the Brit, the 4-cylinder engine seems to come from Yamaha and even from a previous generation R6, while its performance is close to 90 horsepower. The first models for the M. of Britain are expected to make their appearance this Spring and it is possible that we will soon see it on the Greek market as well.

The special importance of the historical documentary and the exhibition is not limited to the unknown images from Smyrna but also to the new look that the two collaborators present in the historical events.. A look that distances itself from both an overly nationalistic narrative and newer attempts to conceal the tragic events of the catastrophe, distorting the truth.
Through this work, the cosmopolitan Smyrna par’ all that was destroyed, continues to exist.
It is still an idea that has to do with cosmopolitanism, the joy of life but also destruction.
Ninety years after the disaster, the documentary and the photo exhibition honor the lost world 1922, but also at the same time, the science of history.
The documentary and the photo exhibition of the same name are documented with rare photographic and cinematographic material collected from American and European archives..
For the first time, unknown images of Izmir are published from private collections such as that of Pierre De Gigord and from the archives of the Library of Congress, of Princeton and Harvard University, του Near East Relief, of the Imperial War Museum, of Pathe and other institutions in Greece and abroad.
The documentary of the same name will be screened at the Amphitheater (Koumbari 1) during the exhibition.
