BOOK : Frida Kahlo. The life of an indomitable woman: Linde Zalber

The biography of the great and famous painter Frida Kahlo written by Linde Zalber titled Frida Kahlo – The life of an indomitable woman, published by Melani publications.
"I'm not sick. I'm broken. But I'm happy as long as I can paint"
"Like a ribbon wrapped around a bomb". This is how Andre Breton described Frida Kahlo's art. The characterization, however, could refer to the fancy painter herself, her colorful Mexican dresses over a mutilated body, full of pain, but also wild lust for life. Others called her the "Saint of female art". Others know mainly about her stormy love life, her passion for the love of her life, the Mexican painter Diego Rivera, whom she married twice, but also her many lovers, men and women, among whom was Leon Trotsky, then exiled in Mexico. But mainly, Frida Kahlo is one of the greatest painters of the 20th century, the first maybe, who dared to break the male rules that defined art until then and one of the few women of her time who managed to live with such freedom and intensity overcoming pain and illness and completely revealing herself through her work.
Neither does Derain, neither do you, me neither, none of us can make a head like Frida's.
Pablo Picasso
Her art is certainly not the perfect method of discovering oneself and, regardless of external appearance to make him more beautiful. It is something much more. An approach to ourselves, in what can be done, to "not yet" – nothing is considered final, everything adds up – a search of the form which, when found, responds to Yeats's aesthetic: "everything is transformed, they change completely. A hideous beauty ensues.”
Carlos Fuentes, Illustrated calendar, 1995
THE AUTHOR
Linde Zalber PhD in Psychology and psychotherapist was born in 1944 in Tydz, Pomerania and works at the University of Cologne. Her specialty is the relationship between an artist's life and work. From the 1983 he paints. Author of monographs: Anais Nin (1992) and Marlene Dietrich (2001) and the biography One Thousand and One Women, the story of Anais Nin.

Lakis Lazopoulos : The subversive appearance in Alpha's bulletin

Τελικά ο Λάκης Λαζόπουλος εμφανίστηκε στο κεντρικό δελτίο ειδήσεων του Alpha μαζί με την ολοκαίνουρια Muppet κούκλα, που προέκυψε μετά τη συνεργασία του με την Disney.
Ο χαρακτήρας Muppet που κατασκευάστηκε ειδικά για τον δημοφιλή ηθοποιό και συγγραφέα, σχολίασε με τη φωνή του όλα τα τεκταινόμενα της πολιτικής ζωής της χώρας με καυστικό τρόπο, ενώ από τα σχόλιά του δεν έλειψε μέχρι και ο Λάκης Γαβαλάς για τον οποίο ανέφερε χαρακτηριστικά: «Τουλάχιστον θα τους αλλάξει styling μέσα στη φυλακή. Θα τους βάλει ωραίες πιζάμες, πιζάμες Lak».
Μετά την εμφάνιση του Muppet, μίλησε και ο ίδιος ο Λάκης Λαζόπουλος στον Αντώνη Σρόιτερ για τη νέα αυτή συνεργασία: «Όπως ζούμε τη φυγαδευομένη δημοκρατία, νομίζω είναι μια πολύ καλή λύση για τους πολιτικούς να στέλνουν κούκλες να μιλούν στη θέση τους», ενώ συνέχισε εξηγώντας: «Με την Disney, είχα συνεργαστεί στο “Hercules” και τώρα επιστρέφουν τα Muppets στον κινηματογράφο που τα λατρεύω! So, διαλέγει η Disney σε κάθε χώρα να κάνει δώρο μια κούκλα σε έναν κωμικό».
Όσο για τον ρόλο που θα διαδραματίσει η κούκλα στο «Αλ Τσαντίρι Νιουζ», ο Λάκης Λαζόπουλος αποκάλυψε: «Νομίζω θα παίζει πολύ καλό ρόλο και θα με βοηθάει πάρα πολύ στα τρέιλερ, όταν εγώ δεν προλαβαίνω».

Marinella : "Natasha is a classical singer"

Marinella together with Natasa Theodoridou spoke to Love Radio about their collaboration this year and their acquaintance about twenty years ago.
"I came up with the idea almost before 22 years but it had to pass for this to become big, let's get to know each other and love each other and let it happen" admitted Natasha Theodoridou while Marinella continued: "For years they called me Priovoli (s.s. the entrepreneurs of the night club "Botanikos") about when we will work together. So we spent one day with George Theofanous and I told him "I want to see Theodoridou". I wasn't having fun that night, I was looking at other things. What is this girl doing up there and how does she command all this by herself. She has her own style. Natasha is a bit strange because she is very honest".
The 41-year-old singer even added: "I know very well who I am and I know very well which person I have in front of me" continuing: "It was a dream of my life to meet Marinella. I was very confident about what we were going to present. When you sing with Marinella you feel confident!».
As for the great lady of the Greek song, she revealed about their collaboration this year: "Yes, it was a desire, but it was like a seed and it was cultivated all these years. I do it like I'm going to the amusement park. I go and have fun, The,whatever I have" while for Natasa Theodoridou she emphasized: «Εκτός από πολύ καλή τραγουδίστρια αγκάλιασα και έναν υπέροχο άνθρωπο. Η Νατάσα είναι Κυρία. Καλή μάνα, καλός άνθρωπος. Η Νατάσα είναι η κλασική που θα μείνει. We, ως γενιά, θα φύγουμε. Τι θα κάνουμε, with a cane we will sing; Natasha is the classic singer that will stay for years".

«Η Ντέμι Μουρ έχει σπασμούς, είναι αναίσθητη»

Βγήκε στη δημοσιότητα το περιεχόμενο της συνομιλίας που κατεγράφη, την περασμένη Δευτέρα, στην επείγουσα κλήση, για παροχή βοήθειας στην Ντέμι Μουρ. Κάποια γυναίκα η οποία βρισκόταν στο σπίτι της ηθοποιού τηλεφώνησε στα έκτακτα περιστατικά, ιδιαίτερα ανήσυχη, προκειμένου να ζητήσει βοήθεια.
Βγήκε στη δημοσιότητα το περιεχόμενο της συνομιλίας που κατεγράφη, την περασμένη Δευτέρα, στην επείγουσα κλήση, για παροχή βοήθειας στην Ντέμι Μουρ. Κάποια γυναίκα η οποία βρισκόταν στο σπίτι της ηθοποιού τηλεφώνησε στα έκτακτα περιστατικά, ιδιαίτερα ανήσυχη, προκειμένου να ζητήσει βοήθεια.
Ο διάλογος μεταξύ της γυναίκας και του τηλεφωνικού κέντρου κράτησε λίγα λεπτά. Η γυναίκα ενημέρωσε πως η Ντέμι Μουρ αναπνέει με το ζόρι, έχει σπασμούς και είναι σχεδόν αναίσθητη. Οταν ρωτήθηκε αν η ηθοποιός είχε πάρει κάποια ουσία, εκείνη απάντησε πως είχε καπνίσει κάτι, όχι μαριχουάνα, αλλά κάτι παρόμοιο με θυμίαμα. Alongside, ενημέρωσε πως τον τελευταίο καιρό η Μουρ έχει κάποια θέματα με παρόμοιες ουσίες. Μέχρι να ολοκληρωθεί το τηλεφώνημα, η κατάσταση της Ντέμι Μουρ είχε βελτιωθεί, Fri.’ όλα αυτά μεταφέρθηκε στο νοσοκομείο.
Ο εκπρόσωπος της ηθοποιού δήλωσε πως πάσχει από εξάντληση, κάτι που εν μέρει είναι αληθές καθώς μετά τον χωρισμό της με τον Αστον Κούτσερ έχει χάσει πάρα πολλά κιλά έχοντας μείνει σκιά του εαυτού της.

Tips for driving in snow

The ongoing wave of bad weather will probably catch us by surprise, if he finds us complacent. Snow will cover the country's mountains again, but also many of the towns and villages, making life difficult for drivers and… cars. And yet, snows can be treated, it is enough to pay attention to some things, such as:
1. Battery in excellent condition.
2. Antifreeze in engine coolant and windshield washer reservoir.
3. Fresh wiper blades.
4. Special spray on the locks to prevent them from freezing.
5. Reading the heating/ventilation instructions, which are detailed in each car's owner's manual.
6. Tires in good condition, with fresh tread that has wide and deep grooves. Note that narrow tires with a high profile have a significant advantage over wide and low profile tires.
7. Tire pressures must follow the instructions in the owner's manual with a tolerance of up to 2 pounds upwards.
In the luggage compartment we store a set of chains, a pair of gloves and a plastic spatula (for cleaning the windows). Here to point out that chains are just emergency accessories, are placed on the drive wheels (in case of permanent four-wheel drive, to the front ones), in order to help us overcome a very difficult part of the road and then remove them. Cars with chains must not be driven with more than 30-40 km / h, while the instructions state that, when chains are worn, the driver must disengage the Electronic Stability System (ESP) with the corresponding switch.
Anyway, in any case we must make absolutely progressive manipulations, because any spinning or locking of wheels means skidding, while the abrupt weight shift ΔEN is controlled. End, when we park, we don't pull the handbrake and it's a good idea to lift the wipers from the windshield. Have a good winter!

Έχασε τη μάχη ο Φάνης Δημητρόπουλος

Πενθεί ο χώρος του αυτοκινήτου στην Ελλάδα
Μια μεγάλη απώλεια δέχτηκε σήμερα ο χώρος του αυτοκινήτου στην Ελλάδα, καθώς ο Φάνης Δημητρόπουλος σε ηλικία 65 years, έχασε τη μάχη με τον καρκίνο.
Γνωστή ήταν η αγάπη του για τα συλλεκτικά και ιστορικά οχήματα, έχοντας αναπτύξει στενές σχέσεις με την Ελληνική Ομοσπονδία Φίλων Παλαιού Αυτοκινήτου (ΦΙΛΠΑ). Yet, είχε διατελέσει γενικός γραμματέας του Συνδέσμου Βετεράνων Οδηγών Αγώνων.

Λάτρης των αγώνων αυτοκινήτου, ο Φάνης Δημητρόπουλος είχε συμμετάσχει σε αγώνες είτε από τη θέση του συνοδηγού είτε από αυτή του οδηγού.

Ακόμη και κατά τη διάρκεια της μάχης με τη νόσο, ο εκλιπών δεν σταμάτησε να ασχολείται με τη μεγάλη του αγάπη, προσφέροντας έργο για την ΦΙΛΠΑ.
