The Archaeological Museum of Ioannina nominated for the European Museum Award

Nominee for the European Museum of the Year Award 2012 (European Museum Award 2012), is the Archaeological Museum of Ioannina. The museum was visited last September by members of the Jury of the European Museum Forum (EMF) which is under the auspices of the Council of Europe and specifically the ladyShirley Collier director of the Scarborough Museum of Britain and Mr.Michael Ryan, head of ICOM in Ireland, who expressed their admiration both for his exhibition and for its organization.

The aim of the award is to promote innovative museum practice andoffer quality public services to all categories of visitors. In the past, in fact, the Folk Art Museum of Nafplio has been honored with the EMYA First Prize (1981) and with the Council of Europe Award the Museum of Byzantine Culture of Thessaloniki (2005).

The Archaeological Museum of Ioannina highlights through its seven main halls and in addition the central corridor and three atriums (total area 1.200 T. m.) about the 3.000 archaeological findings covering a long period of time, since the first appearance of man in Epirus, during the Lower Paleolithic era (before 250.000 years) as well as the west of late antiquity in late Roman times (3century AD. X.).

However, special emphasis is placed on the findings of the sanctuary of Dodoni, which are exhibited in a room dedicated exclusively to one of the most important oracles of the Greek world. The structure of the exhibition is based on three axes: a timeline, a geographical and a thematic one which as they intertwine, run through the museological flow, trying to highlight the special physiognomy and course of the region during antiquity.

It should be noted that the 2012 are completed 35 years since the institution of the European award.

Enigma 1050: The motorcycle you build yourself!

It has not yet received press approval, but the demon Jim Lindsay who inspired her, has already proceeded with its implementation. If nothing else Enigma 1050 is particularly impressive.

Jim Lindsay is a Macintosh computer technician by profession, but his love of motorcycling led him to realize his idea which revolves around building a new British motorcycle, which will be sold complete, while there will also be the possibility of assembling it by its owner (what we call kit). The Triumph 3 cylinder engine to be used is ideal according to Jim, even though it has been on the market for many years, since it first appeared 1997. Criteria for its selection (except for the fact that he is British!) is the good torque output over a wide rpm range, but also the performance of 121 horses.

The goal is to have the new bike ready by April 2012, with the first tests then taking place at the Cadwell Park circuit. End, Jim reports that there are already two buyers, while more details about its development can be found athttp://enigma1050.co.uk

Τρελή υποδοχή για την ομάδα της Red Bull!

Εξήντα χιλιάδες φίλοι της Formula 1 πανηγύρισαν μαζί με τους θριαμβευτές

Ξέρουν ότι ο κόσμος τους αγαπά, αλλά δεν περίμεναν τέτοια υποδοχή! Ο Σεμπάστιαν Φέτελ, ο Μαρκ Γουέμπερ και η υπόλοιποι συντελεστές της ομάδας της Red Bull, έτριβαν τα μάτια τους όταν είδαν ένα ενθουσιώδες πλήθος να έχει παραταχθεί δίπλα στο δρόμο της μικρής πόλης Μίλτον Κινς, που είναι το «σπίτι» της Red Bull, και να τους επευφημεί σαν να ήταν εθνικοί ήρωες!

«Είναι υπέροχο να βρισκόμαστε στο Milton Keynes, μέρος στο οποίο φτιάχνονται τα μονοθέσια μας. Είναι ωραίο να βλέπεις όλους αυτούς τους φίλους, από την περιοχή. Ήταν πολύ ωραία, κάναμε μερικές βόλτες με το μονοθέσιο και περάσαμε πολύ καλά.

Θέλω να πω ευχαριστώ σε όλους όσους ήρθαν, ελπίζω να διασκέδασαν. Ήταν ένας υπέροχος τρόπος να τερματίσουμε τη σεζόν», ήταν τα λόγια του Παγκόσμιου Πρωταθλητή, Σεμπάστιαν Φέτελ.
