It may sound unbelievable but chocolate is actually beneficial! Satiating those chocolate bars might do you more harm than good but slackening the amounts of dark chocolate you take is helpful to your health.
Dark chocolate is a treat that carries no guilt with it. Instead, it carries with it health benefits. Therefore, this article will review its benefits and how you can assimilate it in your meals.
Antioxidants protect from the body the damage brought about by harmful molecules known as free radicals. Antioxidants are mostly derived from fruits, vegetables and the whole grains.
Nevertheless, chocolate is also a supplementary source of an antioxidant called flavanols. Flavanols comes from cocoa beans that make chocolate.
This antioxidant helps to reduce high blood pressure, blood circulation and cholesterol.
A research done by The American Heart Association, shows that more than 50,000 grownups die of, high blood pressure, every year.
Some of the ways used to maintain a healthy blood pressure is by exercising regularly and marinating a body weight that is healthy.
In addition, dark chocolate has also proven to reduce blood pressure. This is from a report by American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, after a research was done by Davide Grassi of The University of L'Aquila.
A report from Andujar's study claims that, flavonoids from the cocoa, help in the flowing of blood in the brain. This in return leads to an increase in the effectiveness of the brain. This chocolate also boosts the memory of the brain.
Flavanoids found in the dark chocolate also protect your arteries from plaque formation. The formation of plaque in the arteries could cause cardiovascular disease.
Therefore the flavonoids make the arteries more flexible and resistant to the formation of plaque and help prevent blood clotting.
Additionally, you can add some cocoa powder to the smoothie. This chocolaty flavor reduces the bitterness of a smoothie of greens. The cocoa powder should be raw.
You can add it on other things like on fruits, carrots. You can also add the unsweetened chocolate on food spices such as grated ginger and rolled whole oats.
This is not unusual. There are foods such as the traditional Mexican sauce made of chocolates, chilies and a few other spices. You can also add the chocolate on vegetarian chili, hummus and even eggplant caponata.
You can melt it by putting hot water as you add it gradually. After this, drizzle it on something else like popcorn and add a tasty spice such as cinnamon. You can even add it to other foods. Just experiment and try new things.
At the end of the day, your health is paramount. The above tips will help you enjoy chocolate but now, in a healthier way. You will not only enjoy the chocolate but also there will be healthy benefits you will obtain from it. Precisely, it is possible to still satisfy your choc-o-tooth without agitating the healthy efforts you make!

Crossfire War – Confirmation – Israel 'Violation' Was Indeed an Attack on Syria
Willard Payne
Wed September 12, 2007
Crossfire War – TEHRAN – DAMASCUS – BEIRUT WATCH – West Asia – North – Northeast Africa Theatre: Tehran – Riyadh – Ankara – Tripoli – Khartoum – Amman – Baghdad – Damascus – Beirut/Jerusalem – Cairo – Paris – Rome – Washington; Confirmation – Israel Violation of Syrian Air Space was an Air Strike on Syrian – Iranian Missile Base Financed by Iran – Disruption of Military Preparations by Tehran-Damascus and Possible Nuclear Material Arriving from North Korea
Night Watch: DEIR EZ-ZOUR – It now seems the "violation" by Israel of Syrian air space Sep. 6 was indeed a specific air strike conducted by the Israel Air Force (IAF) on a Syrian-Iranian missile base near Deir Ez-Nour along the Euphrates River, eastern Syria just 70 miles from the Iraq border.
AFP reports, although Jerusalem has maintained an official news blackout on the attack, anonymous Israeli sources have informed the Arab-Israeli newspaper Assennara an attack was definitely carried out on a "base in northern Syria, a Syrian-Iranian missile base financed by Iran… It appears that the base was completely destroyed."
Israel President Shimon Peres stated, "The central problem with Syria is Lebanon-the question is to know whether Lebanon will be Lebanese or Iranian. The Syrians support Hezbollah and provide them with arms. As long as they continue on this route there will be tension in the air."
Peres is actually admitting, as a result of the three month fighting at the Palestinian camp-city Nahr al-Bared between part of Lebanon's army and the suicide unit Fatal al-Islam near Tripoli, Beirut is no longer influenced by Paris and the West but is now controlled by Tehran-Damascus. [TURKISHPRESS]
Israel's successful air raid was not unlike its destruction of Iraq's nuclear facility in 1981, which Baghdad constructed with material and equipment provided by France. Crossfirewar.com has been a chronicle of Tehran-Damascus not only re-arming Hezbollah more heavily than before last year's war, but has also reported the military preparations constantly being made by Iran-Syria as they prepare to enter this year's ongoing regional war.
Israel would be stupid not to attempt to disrupt those preparations that of course include ballistic missiles and nuclear warheads. Though Iran may not launch any at Israel Tehran would love to see Syria do so as Tehran then commits a few expendable units in the name of supporting Syria and Palestinian people. Israel National News (INN) reported the Chief of Israel's Armed Forces Lieutenant-General Gabi Ashkenazi was smiling broadly at an evening function, which reporters interpreted as a sign the raid had gone extremely well. [INN]
There have been reports from the New York Times Israel may have destroyed nuclear weapons material supplied by North Korea. Beijing has used Pyongyang, since the end of the Cold War in 1990, as a major supplier of Iran's nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs but since Moscow reasserted its old influence there a year ago, after North Korea tested a nuclear bomb underground, Tehran is having Pyongyang export whatever nuclear weapons material it has left to Syria.
This accounts for the strong condemnation of Israel's raid by a spokesperson for North Korea's Foreign Ministry reported by Xinhua-KCNA yesterday, "This is a very dangerous provocation little short of wantonly violating the sovereignty of Syria and seriously harassing the regional peace and security. The DPRK strongly denounces the above-said intrusion and extends full support and solidarity to the Syria people in their just cause to defend the national security and the regional peace." [XINHUA]
The "tension in the air" Israel President Peres referred to has only just gotten started. The regional war this year, that began in late winter in Gaza-West Bank, has already begun to escalate and will encompass more than just Israel/Syria-Lebanon-Iran. Every Islamic government from Tripoli to Tehran and most European governments along the Mediterranean will be caught up in it.

Mark I: curated by Shelly McDonnell & Grace Mitchell
'A nice kind of strange' Maddie, Belfast (visitor to Mark 1)
There was an excellent turn out for the reception event for Artlink Members Annual Exhibition: Mark 1 on Saturday 18th July at Saldanha Galleries, Fort Dunree Military Museum, Inishowen, Co. Donegal
Visitors from across Ireland made their way to Buncrana on Saturday evening to celebrate the inaugural Artlink Members Annual Exhibition. Twenty eight of the members of the Inishowen based art organisation showed new and recent artworks. The exhibition demonstrated the diverse approach to contemporary art making and included oil on canvas, photography, sculpture, film, performance and installation.
"This is an exciting time at Artlink, the creation of a membership system which offers support for locally based visual artists and in turn benefits contemporary visual culture in the region. Membership builds a support network for individuals and creates opportunities for artists to self determine contemporary practice. One of the themes for this exhibition reflects this collection of artists and their individual way of working as well as how they interact as a group. The work of an artist can often be a solitary activity. Working as part of an artist collective generates opportunities spreads knowledge, ideas and can also have a subconscious influence on an artist's practice. By fostering an atmosphere of creativity allows artist the freedom of expression and encourages the production of new art work. This atmosphere in turn infiltrates the wider community." Grace Mitchell, exhibition co-curator.
Although the indoor exhibition concluded on 23rd July one site specific work remains open and merits a visit. Leonie Tang, a Dublin-based artist, has created a camera obscura opposite the entrance hut at Fort Dunree.
The term Camera Obscura comes from the latin meaning 'darkened chamber', and is the earliest known imaging devise and the precursor of the modern day photographic camera. This site-specific installation makes use of the small 'shutters' and darkened interior to create a panorama of images within the space which change with the light and the time of day; charming and wonderful, evoking place, memory and perception.
"This installation will educate even the stranger to the photographic practice on everything from the history of photographic process, to the science behind optics, to the artistic endeavours of the photographic medium - and all within a spectacular interactive domain." Leonie Tang
The installation is open until mid-August, Monday to Friday from 10h30 to 16h30 and Saturday/Sunday from 13h to 16h30.

If you're wondering what is cloud computing and how it works, then this series is for you. In our first post, we'll answer the question: What is cloud computing, and we'll talk about cloud computing resources, cloud deployment models, and key cloud concepts.
Stay tuned for our next post, where we'll cover cloud service models, cloud computing use cases, and more.
Cloud computing adoption is a key strategy for many organizations. The significant business and technical advantages offered by the cloud are changing the landscape of how many companies and corporations operate on a huge scale.
Put simply, cloud computing is a remote virtual pool of on-demand shared resources offering Compute, Storage, and Network services that can be rapidly deployed at scale. Cloud computing technology is based on virtualization. Virtualization allows the possibility of having multiple virtual machines, each essentially running a separate operating system and applications installed on one physical server. These VMs all run at the same time without being aware of each other's existence, while sharing the underlying hardware resources of the server.
There are obvious benefits of virtualization, including reduced capital expenditure. Because you can have multiple VMs installed on one physical host, you don't need to purchase as much physical hardware. Less hardware means a smaller footprint for your data center or server farm, and lower costs for power and cooling. In a cloud environment, the optimization of resourcing and equipment means that everyone who uses the infrastructure—both vendors and consumers—can benefit from this approach.
Now, just a quick note before we leave the topic of virtualization. A VM within the public cloud is sometimes referred to as an instance. This term is very vendor specific, but it refers to the same object as a virtual machine.
When discussing resources within cloud computing, it won't be long before you come across the following terms: Compute, Storage, and Network Resources. A clear understanding of each is essential for identifying what services you want to move to a cloud, should you decide to do so.
Compute. Compute objects provide the brains to process your workload, including what is required to process and run requests from your applications and services. In the cloud, compute resources compare to the hardware devices with CPUs and RAM, typically your servers, and how they work in a classic, on the ground environment.
Storage. Storage resources simply allow you to save your data across a shared environment. Any object that allows you to save your data in the cloud is a storage resource. In a typical environment, these would be seen as server hard discs, network attached storage (NAS) used for file level shared storage access over the network, and the high-speed storage area network (SAM), which is block level shared storage accessed over a high-speed network.
Network Resources. These provide the connectivity that allows all of the other resources to communicate with each other. In a typical environment, this would be accomplished through hardware such as routers (to route traffic between your networks), switches (which provide the background of network connectivity that allows other hosts to talk to one another), and firewalls (to allow or deny traffic into the environment).
If we go back to our original definition of what is cloud computing, we can say that it is a remote virtual pool of on-demand shared resources offering compute, storage, and network services that can be rapidly deployed at scale.
Within cloud computing there are three typical cloud models for different levels of management and security: public, private, and hybrid.
Public cloud. A public cloud model is where a vendor makes available the use of a shared infrastructure, including compute storage and network resources that can be provisioned on demand and typically accessed over the internet for public usage. The consumer will never see the hardware used, nor know the exact location of their data, but they will be able to specify the geographical region to aid with the speed of performance, depending on where users are located.
From a design perspective, it makes sense to host your infrastructure as close as possible to your users' geographic region to reduce latency. All back end maintenance for physical location services such as power, cooling, etc., along with the physical maintenance of host and hardware failures will be maintained by the vendor and invisible to the end user. As a general rule, you can access your services on the public cloud from anywhere as long as you have an internet connection.
Private cloud. With a private cloud, the infrastructure is privately hosted, managed, and owned by the individual company using it, giving it greater and more direct control of its data. As a result, the hardware is usually held on premise. This differs from a typical on-premise server file approach in that the same cloud principles are applied to the design, such as the use of virtualization. This creates a pool of shared compute, storage, and network resources.
With this approach, greater capital expenditure is required to acquire the host and the data center where they physically reside. Additional resources will be needed for the day-to-day operations and maintenance of this equipment. As a result, your daily operational costs will also increase compared to that of a public cloud model.
Hybrid cloud. The hybrid cloud makes use of both public and private clouds. This model may be used for seasonal burst traffic or disaster recovery.
A hybrid model is established when a network link is configured between the private cloud to the services within the public cloud, essentially extending the logical internal network. This takes the benefits given from both the public and private models and allows you to architect your services in the most appropriate model. Hybrid clouds are normally short-term configurations, perhaps for test and def purposes, and can often be a transitional state for enterprises before moving their service to the public cloud entirely.
There are a number of important characteristics that allows cloud computing to be such a powerful service.
On-demand resourcing. When you want to provision a source within the cloud, it's almost immediately available to you. You can allocate it when and where you need it, so there's no more waiting around for hardware to be ordered and stored, cabled and configured before using it.
Scalable. Cloud computing allows you to rapidly scale your environment's resources up and down, and in and out, depending on the requirements and demands of your applications and services. When scaling up and down, you're altering the power of an instance, perhaps using one with a greater CPU power. When scaling in and out, you're simply adding or removing the number of instances you're using. This offers a significant advantage compared to on-premise solutions from a cost perspective alone.
Because public cloud resources are optimized and shared between different organizations, the end user can benefit from exceptionally low compute storage and network costs compared to traditional hosting.
Flexibility and elasticity. Cloud computing offers huge flexibility and elasticity to your design approach. You can choose to have as many or as few resources as you require. You decide how much and how long you want them for, and at what scale. There are no retention contracts to adhere to for services.
Growth. Cloud computing offers your organization the ability to grow using a wide range of resources and services. Couple this with the on-demand element that we've already mentioned and your growth constraints are significantly reduced compared to a classic environment.
Utility-based metering. With many cloud services, you only pay for what you use. If you only have one server, or instance, running for two hours, and then shut it down, you only pay for two hours of compute resources. That's it. You only pay for resources when you use them.
Shared infrastructure. Hosts within the cloud are virtualized. As a result, multiple tenants can be running instances on the same piece of hardware. This significantly reduces the amount of physical hardware required, which in turn reduces the amount of power, cording, and space required in the data center. In turn, this results in lower costs for you.
Highly available. By design, many of the core services with the public cloud and its underlying infrastructure are replicated across different geographic zones. Having data covered in multiple different places automatically helps you ensure the durability and availability of your data and services without even having to configure an architect for this resilience. It's all provided by the vendor as a part of their service.
Security. This is one of the most discussed topics within cloud computing. Public cloud vendors such as Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure are considered to be more secure than your own data center. This is achieved by adhering to a shared responsibility model between the vendor and yourself. The vendor will operate at an exceptionally high standard of security for the underlying infrastructure of the cloud, and it's down to you, the end user, to then architect security in the cloud using the tools, services, and applications available.
These are the key characteristics of cloud computing. You can see how different it is from the classic on-premise data center deployment that you may be used to.

There is just two days of action to navigate through this week, but with the FA cup fourth round taking priority at the weekend the next set of fixtures are on Tuesday and Wednesday. Liverpool, after their early FA Cup exit, did not have the distraction of a cup run, so again Mohamed Salah is an essential pick, yet I also have a brand new signing in my sights.

Starting at Anfield and Mohamed Salah (£12.9m) is a must-have in my opinion. Liverpool face a Leicester side that conceded four goals in their last Premier League game against Wolves. Salah scored his 50th Premier League goal last weekend, in just 72 games, and I am expecting more goals from him this week. He scored twice in this fixture last season in a 2-1 win for Jurgen Klopp's side. The Egyptian tops the Premier League goalscoring charts with 16 and is now in 55.1 per cent of all teams.
Not far behind Salah in the goal charts is Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£12.5m) with 14 goals this season. The Gabon international is hot on the heels of the Liverpool hitman in the race for the Premier League Golden Boot. He is in considerably less teams at just 17.1 per cent, which is surprising considering he has only scored two goals less. Aubameyang has notched up 132 points so far, just 40 points behind Salah. It is Neil Warnock's Cardiff up next for Arsenal at the Emirates and I think he could add more goals to his tally here.
Rashford has been in sensational form since the departure of Jose Mourinho. In his last four league games he has scored four goals, assisted twice and taken home two Sky Sports Man of the Match (MOTM) awards, racking up 45 points in the process.
He is now on 106 points for the season and considering he is only priced at £10.4m, I think he could be a great pick for the second half of the season. There is the worry that Romelu Lukaku or Alexis Sanchez will see a bit of game time but in the form that Rashford is in, he must be almost irreplaceable. With Burnley up next at Old Trafford, I think Rashford will see his 10.3 per cent ownership increase further.
The Manchester City winger is always someone I look out for. With 144 points, he is the third-highest scoring midfielder this season. Currently, in 14.2 per cent of teams, he is not massively owned, which is staggering as he has scored 10 goals this season with nine assists and two MOTM awards for good measure too.
In the last four games, he has returned three assists and a goal. It is Newcastle away for City on Tuesday night and Pep's side could inflict more misery on struggling Newcastle who are just two points clear of the relegation zone, although they did win their last game against Cardiff.
Chelsea have been largely disappointing in the last month, scoring five goals in their last six Premier League games, but with the Argentinian joining on loan from AC Milan for the rest of the season, I am hoping he can deliver some goals for Chelsea.
The 31-year-old played under Maurizio Sarri at Napoli and during the 2015-16 scored 36 league goals, equalling a Serie A record. Higuain has only scored six league goals for Gennaro Gattuso's side this season, but I think he could hit the ground running for Chelsea as they face Bournemouth away on Wednesday, followed by Huddersfield at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
I also think Higuain's signing could be beneficial to Eden Hazard, as he might now have a striker that can finish the chances he has created. I also think he will benefit from being able to move back from the false-nine position to his preferred one of out wide.


I believe the Word of God is always a better teacher than we are and can speak for itself. If you are born again, you have the Holy Spirit in you who leads you into all truth. This means you are fully equipped to get as much out of those scriptures as the greatest Bible teacher. I hope these resources will not replace your Bible reading, but will only be an additional help and will whet your appetite for more of the Word of God!

Sea Shepherd Shuts Down World's Largest Fishing Vessel
Thanks to marine wildlife conservation group Sea Shepherd, the world's largest fish factory ship, the Damanzaihao, was arrested and seized last week. Capable of killing 547,000 tons of fish per year, the blacklisted vessel is subject to a federal criminal investigation. The ship is currently prohibited from leaving its port in Peru.
The Damanzaihao's illegal fishing acts had previously led to a multi-million dollar fine issued by the Peruvian Ministry of Production in 2016. The vessel has also been accused of pollution through illegal discharge of waste.
Sea Shepherd is gathering information to assist the government and help put an end to illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing. The organization has highlighted data indicating that up to 26 million tons of fish and seafood are caught illegally every year.
"IUU fishing often occurs in marine protected areas and effects non-target species including sharks, dolphins, rays, Bryde's whales, whale sharks, and turtles. These animals often become trapped in illegal fishing nets, die, and are discarded."
In addition to marine conservation, Sea Shepherd maintains an animal rights focus. All of the food served on Sea Shepherd vessels is vegan.
"Peru is taking a strong stance in its efforts to bring the Damanzaihao to justice," said Sea Shepherd. "Under the Peruvian Penal Code, successful conviction carries a penalty of three to five years of incarceration. Sea Shepherd applauds Peru's commitment to combating IUU fishing and continues to provide support to Peru to help bring an end to the rampant over-exploitation of the oceans."

Home Comment and Analysis Season Review 2019: Surrey
Season Review 2019: Surrey
By Bradley Adams -
Photo courtesy of Youtube, with thanks
Could this season have gone realistically worse for Surrey? Just eight wins across the entire campaign, this side so glorious in the Specsavers County Championship last season reduced to a shadow of itself.
The criticism must be fair. At times, the Surrey side quite literally was a shadow of itself. In June, they had 12 senior players missing either to the treatment table or to international cricket.
Surrey built their success last season on, yes, having a very strong first team, but with plenty of capable individuals waiting in the wings who, when given their chance, shone. And while it is relatively easy to ask fringe players to step into a winning side with a core spine in place, asking those players to make up much of the spine is a far different task.
But there is still too much quality, on paper, in the Surrey side for a season to contain just eight victories. Michael di Venuto labelled defeat in their antepenultimate game at Hampshire as "embarrassing" and "some of the worst cricket I've ever seen."
For a club of Surrey's riches and stature, it was simply not good enough. A title challenge? In the end, they were two points above seventh — had two been going down, they would have teetered on the edge of relegation.
They played occasional good cricket, but by-and-large they were outplayed — and often by massive margins. All out for 88 in the first Royal London One-Day Cup match against Gloucestershire; pummelled for 226 in 15 overs against Essex in the Vitality Blast; all out for under 200 on nine occasions in the Championship.
The results are a worry, for sure, but the manner of the results is a major concern. It is difficult to believe, on this evidence, that the team cruised to Division One success last term. Major improvement is needed.
SSCC: 6th, Division One
Vitality Blast: South Group — 8th
RLODC: Runners-up; South Group — 9th
SSCC: Scott Borthwick, 705 runs
Vitality Blast: Aaron Finch, 398 runs
RLODC: Ben Foakes, 328 runs
SSCC: Morne Morkel, 44 wickets
Vitality Blast: Imran Tahir, 19 wickets
RLODC: Morne Morkel, 13 wickets
Ollie Pope missed half the season through a dislocated shoulder, but he still looked a class above many of his teammates. He was the one excluded from di Venuto's scathing assessment at The Ageas Bowl, the only of his team to score more than 49 in the match there. Pope scored two centuries — including a mammoth 221* — and averaged over 80 in the Championship. No one else to play more than one innings averaged above 38.
What a week it's been for this man 💯

Breakthrough Player
Will Jacks spent part of pre-season scoring a 25-ball century in a T10. It was a feat he couldn't come close to matching during the competitive season, but hit a maiden first-class hundred and played a set of useful cameo knocks in the Blast. Surrey seemed unsure whether to use him in T20 as a Jason Roy replacement at the top of the order or as a finisher, but the 20-year-old looks to have immense promise.
Is Ryan Patel a batter who bowls or a bowler who bats? In 2019, his Championship batting average was 22.46, boosted mightily by a century in the opening round, while his bowling average was 53.25. He batted at seven and eight in the One-Day Cup, everywhere in the top eight except for number five in the Championship, and eight in the Blast. All the while showing no sign of repeating his astonishing six for five against Somerset in 2018. He is only 21, so is far from the finished article, but his performances leave his role unspecified — and that's not a good place to be.
Surrey will be comforted by knowing they surely cannot have such a dire 2020 for injuries, but they must discover how to adapt to having substantial absences. International cricket and The Hundred will likely take many of their better players throughout the season, so it will be an issue they have to overcome.
Left-arm spinner Daniel Moriarty has signed a two-year deal. The 20-year-old has played for South Africa U19s, MCC Young Cricketers and Surrey's 2nd team in August and September. The squad itself still looks impressive, although Surrey are likely to reinforce with those inevitable absentees.
2019 has been a write-off for Surrey. The performances were below par, the results were below par, and it has been a sobering fall from grace from the highs of 2018. They have turned from the best red-ball side in the country last year to one of the weakest in all forms this campaign.

The Ferrari 250 is a series of sports cars and grand tourers built by Ferrari from 1953 to 1964. The company's most successful early line, the 250 series includes many variants designed for road use or sports car racing. 250 series cars are characterized by their use of a 3.0 litres (2,953 cc) Colombo V12 engine designed by Giaoccino Colombo. They were replaced by the 275 and 330 series cars.
4.4 250 GT Berlinetta "Tour de France"
4.8 250 GT Berlinetta "Interim"
Most 250 road cars share the same two wheelbases, 2,400 mm (94.5 in) for short wheelbase (SWB) and 2,600 mm (102.4 in) for long wheelbase (LWB). Most convertibles used the SWB type.
Nearly all 250s share the same Colombo Tipo 125 V12 engine. At 2,953 cc (180 cu in), it was notable for its light weight and impressive output of up to 300 PS (221 kW; 296 hp) in the Testa Rossa and GTO. The V12 weighed hundreds of pounds less than its chief competitors — for example, it was nearly half the weight of the Jaguar XK straight-6. Ferrari uses the displacement of a single cylinder as the model designation.
The light V12 propelled the small Ferrari 250 racing cars to numerous victories.
The first 250 was the experimental 250 S berlinetta prototype entered in the 1952 Mille Miglia for Giovanni Bracco and Alfonso Rolfo. The Mercedes-Benz W194 racers of Rudolf Caracciola, Hermann Lang, and Karl Kling were faster on the long straights but the 230 PS (169 kW; 227 hp) Ferrari made up sufficient ground in the hills and curves to win the race. The car was later entered at Le Mans and in the Carrera Panamericana.
The 250 S used a 2,250 mm (88.6 in) wheelbase with a "Tuboscocca" tubular trellis frame. Suspension was by double wishbones at the front, with double longitudinal semi-elliptic springs locating the live axle at the rear. The car had the drum brakes and worm-and-sector steering typical of the period. The dry-sump 3.0 L (2,953 cc (180 cu in)) engine used three Weber 36DCF carburettors and was mated directly to a five-speed manual transmission.
Following the success of the 250 S in the Mille Miglia, Ferrari showed a more conventional chassis for the new 250 engine at the 1952 Paris Motor Show. Pinin Farina then created coupé bodywork which had a small grille, compact tail and panoramic rear window, and the new car was launched as the 250 MM (for Mille Miglia) at the 1953 Geneva Motor Show. Carrozzeria Vignale's open barchetta version was also an innovative design whose recessed headlights and side vents became a Ferrari staple for the 1950s.
The 250 MM's wheelbase was longer than the 250 S at 2,400 mm (94.5 in), with the coupé 50 kg (110 lb) heavier than the 850 kg (1,874 lb) barchetta. The V12 engine's dry sump was omitted from the production car, and the transmission was reduced by one gear. Power was increased to 240 PS (177 kW; 237 hp). The four-cylinder 625 TF and 735 S replaced the V12-powered 250 MM later in 1953.
The 250 MM's race debut was at the 1953 Giro di Sicilia with privateer Paulo Marzotto. A Carrozzeria Morelli-bodied 250 MM barchetta driven by Clemente Biondetti came fourth in the 1954 Mille Miglia.
The 1954 250 Monza was an unusual hybrid of the light four-cylinder 750 Monza and the 250 line. The model used the 250 engine in the short-wheelbase chassis from the 750 Monza. The first two used the Pininfarina barchetta shape of the 750 Monza and a one-off 500 Mondial. Two more 250 Monzas were built by Carrozzeria Scaglietti, an early use of the now-familiar coachbuilder. Although a frequent entrant through 1956, the 250 Monzas failed to gain much success and the union of the Monza chassis and 250 engine was not pursued beyond this model.
The racing 250 Testa Rossa was one of the most successful Ferrari racing cars in its history, with three wins at Le Mans, four wins at Sebring, and two wins at Buenos Aires. One example sold at auction for a record-breaking $16.39 million.
The 250 GTO was produced from 1962 to 1964 for homologation into the FIA's Group 3 Grand Touring Car category. GTO stands for "Gran Turismo Omologato", Italian for "Homologated Grand Tourer". When new, the GTO sold for $18,500 in the United States, and buyers had to be personally approved by Enzo Ferrari and his dealer for North America, Luigi Chinetti.
In May 2012, the 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO chassis number 3505GT sold by an auction for US$38,115,000.
In October 2013, the 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO chassis number 5111GT sold by Connecticut-based collector Paul Pappalardo to an unnamed buyer in a private transaction for US$52 million.
Thirty-six cars were made in 1962 and 1963. In 1964 the Series II was introduced, which had a different body. Three such cars were made, and four older Series I cars were given a Series II body. It brought the total number of GTOs produced to 39.
In 2004, Sports Car International placed the 250 GTO eighth on a list of Top Sports Cars of the 1960s, and nominated it the top sports car of all time. Motor Trend Classic placed it first on a list of the "Greatest Ferraris of all time".
The 250 P was a prototype racer produced in 1963, winning that year's 12 Hours of Sebring, 1000 km Nürburgring and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The 250 P used an engine derived from the 250 Testa Rossa, mounted in a rear mid-engine, rear wheel drive configuration.
The mid-engined 250 Le Mans looked very much the prototype racer but was intended for production as a road-going GT. Descended from the 250 P, the Le Mans also appeared in 1963 and sported Pininfarina bodywork. Ferrari was unable to persuade the FIA that he would build the 100 examples required to homologate the car for GT racing. Eventually, 32 LMs were built up to 1965. As a result, Ferrari withdrew from factory participation in the GT class of the 1965 World Sportscar Championship, allowing the Shelby Cobra team to dominate. A 250LM, competing in the Prototype category, won the 1965 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Only the very early LM's were true 250 models. All the others made as 3300cc models, and as such should have been named 275 LM. The early cars were converted to the 3300cc engine.
The 1953 250 Export and Europa were the only ones of the family to use a different engine, sharing the 2953 cc Lampredi V12 designed for Formula One. 185VR16 Pirelli Cinturato CA67 tyres were standard on both versions.
The 250 Export was similar to the 250 MM with its 2,400 mm (94.5 in) wheelbase. It had a 220 PS (162 kW; 217 hp) Lampredi engine, and was launched at the Paris Motor Show of 1953.
The 250 Europa, also introduced in Paris in 1953, looked entirely different. With the long 2,800 mm (110.2 in) wheelbase and Ferrari America-style bodies, it was designed as more of a grand tourer than any previous 250. Both Pininfarina and Vignale handled the coachwork, and 21 were made.
The 250 design was successful both on the road and on the track. A number of GT models were built in varying states of road or racing trim.
The first road car to use Colombo's 250 V12 was the 250 Europa GT, introduced at the 1954 Paris Motor Show. Pinin Farina's sober Paris coupé was just one of many shapes for the 250 GT model line, with coachbuilt production extending through 1956 before the 250 line became more standardized. The original 250 Europa GT used a 2,600 mm (102.4 in) wheelbase on a conventional chassis, with 600-16 Stella Bianca tyres. The dry sump V12 was tuned to 220 PS (162 kW; 217 hp), with three Weber 36DCZ3 carburettors. Echoing Vignale's 250 Europa, Pinin Farina added now-familiar vents to the front fenders, a standard styling cue for many of the 250 GTs that followed.
Pinin Farina introduced a 250-based prototype coupé at the 1956 Geneva Motor Show which came to be called the 250 GT Boano. Intended as a styling exercise and inspiration to 250 GT Europa customers, the car generated demand that soon called for a production series.
Unable to meet the demand without expansion, Pinin Farina asked Mario Boano, formerly of Ghia, to handle the construction. When Fiat later recruited Boano, he handed production duties to his son-in-law Ezio Ellena. With partner Luciano Pollo, Carrozzeria Ellena would produce the 250 GT for another few years. Ellena revised the car, raising the roof and removing the vent windows from the doors. These examples became known as the 250 GT Ellena.
Carrozzeria Boano built 74 250 GTs on the long-wheelbase chassis. Carrozzeria Ellena built another 50 Coupés.
All but one were coupés. The single convertible, 0461 GT, was sold to New York collector Bob Lee off the stand at the 1956 New York Auto Show. At the direction of Enzo Ferrari, Lee bought the car for $9,500, far below cost. He still owns it, making it one of the oldest Ferraris still in the hands of the original purchaser.
Four examples of the 250 GT Coupé Speciale were made, on the type 513 chassis. (Although chassis numbers were in the middle of the Boano 250 GT Coupé run they did not share the same chassis type.). They had Series I 410 Superamerica-style bodies and type 128, 3.0 V12 engines.
250 GT TdF "14 louvre" #0677GT, in Ecurie Francorchamps colours, at the 1997 Goodwood Festival of Speed.
The 250 GT Berlinetta, nicknamed the "Long Wheelbase Berlinetta", was also called the "Tour de France" after competing in the 10-day Tour de France automobile race. Seventy-seven Tour de France cars were built, of which a number were sold for GT races from 1956 through 1959. Construction was handled by Carrozzeria Scaglietti based on a Pinin Farina design. The engine began at 240 PS (177 kW; 237 hp) but eventually rose to 260 PS (191 kW; 256 hp). Pirelli Cinturato 165R400 tyres (CA67) were standard.
At the 1956 Geneva Motor Show, Scaglietti displayed their own 250 GT prototype, which became known as the limited-production, Series I, "no-louvre" 250 GT Berlinetta. The first customer car was built in May 1956, with production now the responsibility of Scaglietti in Modena. Fourteen "no-louvre" and nine "14-louvre" Series I and II Berliettas were made.
There were four series of 250 GT Berlinettas. In mid-1957 the Series III cars were introduced, with three louvres and covered headlights. Eighteen were produced. The 36 Series IV cars; retained the covered headlights and had a single vent louvre. Zagato also made five "no-louvre" superlight cars to Ugo Zagato's design.
A 250 GT Berlinetta won Tour de France Automobile three times in 1956, 1957 and 1958. Ferrari's winning streak in this race will be carried over with later 'Interim' and SWB Berlinettas.
Released at the Geneva Motor Show in 1957, the original 250 GT Cabriolet Pininfarina Series I used the 2,600 mm (102.4 in) wheelbase and the body was styled differently from the Berlinetta. Cars left the factory on either 165R400 or 185VR16 Pirelli Cinturato tyres (CA67).
About 36 examples were produced before a second series was shown at Paris in 1959. These later cars had more in common with the production Berlinetta.
About 200 of the Series II cars were built.
Motor Trend Classic placed the 250 GT Series I Cabriolet and Coupé ninth on their list of the ten "Greatest Ferraris of all time".
Designed for export to North America, the 1957 250 GT California Spyder was Scaglietti's interpretation of an open-top 250 GT. Aluminium was used for the hood, doors, and trunk lid, with steel elsewhere for most models. Several aluminium-bodied racing versions were also built. The engine was the same as in the 250 Tour de France racing car with up to 240 PS (237 hp; 177 kW) @ 7000 rpm and a maximum torque of 265 N⋅m (195 lb⋅ft; 27 kg⋅m) @ 5000 rpm, from a 2,953 cc (3.0 L; 180.2 cu in) naturally aspirated SOHC 2 valves per cylinder 60º Ferrari Colombo V12 engine, equipped with 3 Weber carburetors. All used the long 2,600 mm (102.4 in) chassis, and Pirelli Cinturato 185VR16 tyres (CA67) were standard.
A total of fifty LWBs were made before the SWB version superseded them in 1960. One example sold at auction on August 18, 2007 in Monterey, California, for $4.9 million. While radio host and former Top Gear presenter Chris Evans bought one for $12 million in 2008.
Needing series production to stabilize his company's finances, Enzo Ferrari asked Pininfarina to design a simple and classic 250 GT coupé. After the 250 GT Coupé Boano/Ellena, Pininfarina's Grugliasco plant expanded and now had the capacity to produce the new 250 GT Coupé Pininfarina. It was introduced at Milan in 1958, and 335 near-identical examples were built by 1960. Buyers included Prince Bertil of Sweden. The GT Coupé eschewed the fender vents for simple, clean lines and a notchback look with panoramic rear window. The oval grille was replaced by a more traditional long narrow look with protruding headlights. Telescopic shock absorbers were also fitted instead of the Houdailles on previous 250s, and disc brakes were added in 1960. The original 165R400 Pirelli Cinturato tyres (CA67) were later changed to 185VR16. The final 250 GT Coupé had a Superfast tail and was shown at the 1961 London Motor Show.
in 1959, seven 250 GT Berlinetta "Interim" LWB coupés were made. They utilized the old long-wheelbase chassis and had the new Pinin Farina bodywork of the upcoming SWB Berlinettas. The bodies are all-aluminum. Interim vehicles have an additional rear quarter window, absent from the succeeding "Passo Corto" Berlinettas. The Interim vehicles are serial numbers 1377GT, 1461GT, 1465GT, 1509GT, 1519GT, 1521GT and 1523GT. 'Interim' Berlinetta won 1959 Tour de France Automobile, thus continuing Ferrari's dominance.
In line with the high-volume coupé, Pinin Farina also designed a plainer 250 GT Cabriolet for series production. Introduced at the 1959 Paris Motor Show, the GT Spider sported a look similar to the GT Coupé of the previous year, including the removal of the side vents. 185VR15 Pirelli Cinturato tyres (CA67) were standard. On the Coupé the headlights were uncovered. About 212 were produced.
One of the most notable GT racers of its time, the 1959 250 GT Berlinetta SWB used a short (2,400 mm (94.5 in)) wheelbase for better handling. Of the 176 examples built, both steel and aluminum bodies were used in various road ("lusso") and racing trims. Engine output ranged from 240 PS (177 kW; 237 hp) to 280 PS (206 kW; 276 hp). The "lusso" road car version was originally fitted with 185VR15 Pirelli Cinturato (CA67).
Development of the 250 GT SWB Berlinetta was handled by Giotto Bizzarrini, Carlo Chiti, and young Mauro Forghieri, the same team that later produced the 250 GTO. Disc brakes were a first on a Ferrari GT, and the combination of low weight, high power, and well-sorted suspension made it competitive. It was unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in October and quickly began selling and racing. The SWB Berlinetta won Ferrari the GT class of the 1961 Constructor's Championship. Also won 1960, 1961 and 1962 Tour de France Automobile before giving ground to the GTO's.
In 2004, Sports Car International placed the 250 GT SWB seventh on a list of Top Sports Cars of the 1960s, and Motor Trend Classic placed it fifth on a list of the ten "Greatest Ferraris of all time".
In 1959 Ferrari gave the 250 GT Berlinetta sharper handling, reducing its wheelbase from 2,600 mm to 2,400 mm. In 1960, Scaglietti revealed the 250 GT California Spyder SWB at the Geneva Motor Show, its body pulled more tautly over this updated chassis. Like the 250 GT Berlinetta SWB on which it was based, the revised Spyder also received disc brakes and a 280 PS (206 kW; 276 hp) version of the three-litre V12. It was fitted with 185VR15 Pirelli Cinturato tyres (CA67). About 55 were built.
A custom-built fiberglass-bodied replica of a 1961–1963 250 GT California Spyder, was featured in the film Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Three 1985 Modena Spyders (two running and one shell for destruction) were built for the film by Modena Design & Development on custom frames. One of the running models was sold back to Modena for restoration and in April 2018 became the 22nd vehicle added to the National Historic Vehicle Register.
A 1961 SWB example that had been owned by James Coburn was sold for £5.5 million to radio DJ, Chris Evans.
A barn find 1961 SWB formerly owned by French actor Alain Delon while he was making the film Les Felins with Jane Fonda sold for US$15.9 million in February 2015.
On March 11, 2016 at the Omni Amelia Island Plantation, a 1961 SWB sold for US$17.16 million at auction.
The LWB 250 GT theme was expanded with the 2+2 model 250 GT/E, the first large-production four-seat Ferrari (earlier four-seaters were made in very small numbers). Interior space was increased by moving the engine forward in the chassis. The rear seats were suitable for children but small for adults. Pirelli Cinturato 185VR15 tyres (CA67) were original equipment. The standard wheels used on series 1 & 2 were the Borrani RW3591 and the series 3 were fitted with the Borrani RW3690 as a standard.
Engine output was listed at 240 PS (177 kW; 237 hp).
Almost 1,000 GT/Es were constructed by Pininfarina with prototypes starting in 1959 and continuing through three series until 1963. The model was followed by the visually similar 330 Americas.
The large production run of the GT/E was a major contributor to Ferrari's financial well-being in the early 1960s. MSRP of the GT/E was $11,500.
A 250 GT/E can be seen in The Wrong Arm of the Law, a film starring Peter Sellers.
Pinin Farina updated the 250 GT with the GT Lusso or GTL. Introduced at the 1962 Paris show, the car had flowing lines and a fastback shape typical of the GT cars of the mid-1960s. The engine was the 250 GTO's Tipo 168 with 240 hp (179 kW; 243 PS) and three Weber 36DCS carburettors. 185VR15 Pirelli Cinturato tyres (CA67) were standard.
Built by Scaglietti, the Lusso continued through 1964 with few modifications.
Rock star Eric Clapton owned one, and an example that had been owned by Steve McQueen sold at auction for $2.3 million on 16 August 2007.
A replica of the 250 GT Lusso "... owned by Steve McQueen ..." was featured in the 2011 film Tower Heist.
In 2004, Sports Car International placed the 250 GT Lusso tenth on a list of Top Sports Cars of the 1960s. Steve Boone, a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with the group Lovin' Spoonful owned chassis number #4237, which was stolen from a repair shop in Queens, New York and never found.
Tractor manufacturer Ferruccio Lamborghini owned several Ferrari 250s. His frustration with Enzo Ferrari's response to his complaints about frequent clutch problems was key to his decision to make his own cars. He later hired ex-Ferrari engineers to design and develop them.
Ferrari 250 GT Drogo - the "Breadvan", a 250 SWB modified by Giotto Bizzarrini and Piero Drogo for Giovanni Volpi.
A predecessor to the 250 line was the 225 S introduced at the 1952 Giro di Sicilia. Two of the two-seat sports prototypes were built, an open barchetta and closed coupé, both by Vignale. Seven 225 S cars were entered in the 1952 Mille Miglia, but they were overshadowed by the larger-engined 250 S. A 225 S tested at Imola was the first Ferrari to drive the course.
A 250 in all but name, the 1963 330 America shared the outgoing model's chassis but not its engine. Powered by the new 4.0 L engine of the later 330 cars, fifty 330 Americas were built. 185VR15 Pirelli Cinturato tyres (CA67) were original equipment, changed to 205VR15s (CN72) after 1964.

Battista Pinin Farina was an Italian automobile designer, the founder of the Carrozzeria Pininfarina coachbuilding company, a name associated with many of the best-known postwar sports cars. Battista Farina was born in Cortanze, the tenth of eleven children, his nickname, referred to his being the baby of the family. Pinin started working in his brother Giovannis body shop at the age of 12 and he stayed at Giovannis Stabilimenti Industriali Farina for decades, learning bodywork and beginning to design his own cars. Battista formed Carrozzeria Pinin Farina in 1930 to focus on design and construction of new car bodies, only Carrozzeria Touring was more sought-after in the 1930s. Battistas work for Ferrari, starting in 1952, would become his most famous, though much of it was managed by his son, some time in the early 1950s Stabilimenti Farina was absorbed into the by now much larger Carrozzeria Pininfarina. He was inducted into the Automotive Hall of Fame in 2004, Farina officially changed his name to Battista Pininfarina in 1961.
The Mercedes-Benz W194 was the Mercedes-Benz entry for the 1952 Sportscar racing season, its first after World War II. It was succeeded by the Mercedes-Benz W196 on the track, the racing W194300 SL was built around a mere 140-150 pound welded aluminum tube spaceframe chassis to offset its relatively underpowered carbureted engine. Designed by Daimler-Benzs chief developing engineer, Rudolf Uhlenhaut, the metal skeleton saved weight while still providing a level of strength. Since it enveloped the passenger compartment traditional doors were impossible, giving birth to the models distinctive gull-wing arrangement, aerodynamics played an important role in the 2497 pound cars speed. Unlike many cars of the 1950s, steering was relatively precise, the rear swing axle, jointed only at the differential, not at the wheels themselves, could be treacherous at high speeds or on imperfect roads due to extreme changes in camber. The enormous fuel tank capacity caused a difference in handling depending on the quantity of fuel on board.
The event is the second round of the United SportsCar Championship and in the past has been a round of the now defunct World Sportscar Championship, IMSA GT Championship and American Le Mans Series. In 2012, the race was the event of the FIA World Endurance Championship. The track opened in 1950 on an airfield and is a racing course styled after those used in European Grand Prix motor racing. The first race was a race on New Years Eve 1950. The race is famous for its once around the action, starting during the day. In its early years, the Sebring circuit combined former airport runways with narrow service roads. The 1966 event was a point in Sebring history, as the facilities. Five people were killed during the race, which was more people killed than in the races prior 15-year history combined, bob McLean crashed while approaching the hairpin, his car rolled several times, struck a utility pole and exploded, landing in a ditch and killing McLean. The circuit was made safer and there were no fatalities until 1980 and it is known as preparation for the 24 Hours of Le Mans, as the tracks extremely bumpy surface, combined with south-central Floridas perennial hot weather, is a test of a cars reliability.
In recent years, six victories have been achieved by the Audi R8. Tom Kristensen has won the more times than anyone else, with six victories – in 1999–2000, 2005–2006,2009. The 1966 race had Dan Gurney leading at the last lap, Gurney pushed his car over the finish line, beaten only by Ken Miles and Lloyd Ruby. However, his actions were ultimately determined to be against the rules, Corvette had dominated the class the past three years with its previous generation C5R. The all-new Audi R10 TDI won the 2006 edition of the race, the victory set the stage for an even more momentous win by the R10 in its next race, the Le Mans 24 Hours in the year. The much-hyped Porsche RS Spyder campaigned by Penske Racing dropped to take 2nd place in its LMP2 class, behind the Intersport Lola car. The GT1 Corvette C6R team got their revenge against the Aston Martin, in addition to an overall win, Audi set a track record in 2007 with Marco Werner behind the wheel in qualifying. ^A The car was in fact, a Porsche 935 K3 that has been modified with a single cylinder head.
Otto Wilhelm Rudolf Caracciola, more commonly Rudolf Caracciola, was a racing driver from Remagen, Germany. He won the European Drivers Championship, the equivalent of the modern Formula One World Championship. He won the European Hillclimbing Championship three times – twice in sports cars, and once in Grand Prix cars, Caracciola raced for Mercedes-Benz during their original dominating Silver Arrows period, named after the silver colour of the cars, and set speed records for the firm. He was affectionately dubbed Caratsch by the German public, and was known by the title of Regenmeister, or Rainmaster, Caracciola began racing while he was working as apprentice at the Fafnir automobile factory in Aachen during the early 1920s, first on motorcycles and in cars. Racing for Mercedes-Benz, he won his first two Hillclimbing Championships in 1930 and 1931, and moved to Alfa Romeo for 1932, where he won the Hillclimbing Championship for the third time. He returned to the newly reformed Mercedes-Benz racing team in 1934, like most German racing drivers in the 1930s, Caracciola was a member of the Nazi paramilitary group National Socialist Motor Corps, but never a member of the Nazi Party.
He returned to racing after the Second World War, but crashed in qualifying for the 1946 Indianapolis 500, a second comeback in 1952 was halted by another crash, in a sports car race in Switzerland. After he retired, Caracciola worked as a Mercedes-Benz salesman targeting North Atlantic Treaty Organization troops stationed in Europe and he died in the German city of Kassel, after suffering liver failure. He was buried in Switzerland, where he had lived since the early 1930s and he is remembered as one of the greatest pre-1939 Grand Prix drivers, a perfectionist who excelled in all conditions. His record of six German Grand Prix wins remains unbeaten, Rudolf Caracciola was born in Remagen, Germany, on 30 January 1901. He was the child of Maximilian and Mathilde, who ran the Hotel Fürstenberg. His ancestors had migrated during the Thirty Years War from Naples to the German Rhineland, Caracciola was interested in cars from a young age, and from his fourteenth birthday wanted to become a racing driver.

Matera: from shame of Italy to pride of Europe
by O-City | Aug 1, 2019 | News | 0 comments
It is 1960s', Italy is growing fast after the 2ndWorld War, it is becoming one of the most interesting economies in Europe. The Italian government is looking at a strong promotional campaign to present to the country this new trend and the development which will bring the country in the future.
Italy at that time was also a country where the population of countryside was living in very poor economic and health condition, with people and animals living together in small rooms, with no sewage and clean water system.
Matera was a small village in the South of Italy, a very particular village where man carved housed out of a rock calcarenite hill, surrounded by caves where, it will be discovered some years later, human being have always lived since Palaeolithic times.
Matera, like many other places in Italy, saw people living in poor and unhealthy conditions, but Matera was the perfect symbol of what Italian government wanted to do to overcome this shameful situation bringing Italians out of poverty and giving to all decent living standards.
That is the time when Matera became the "Shame of Italy", that was the time when people from the "Sassi" where moved to the new neighbourhood created in the town to live in comfortable houses, with hot water and sewage. That was the time when a wound was opened in the life of the city, a wound which took 30 years to be recovered.
Discovering beauty
It is 1990, a group of young professionals has been working for more than 10 years in order to slowly start the discovery of the incredible cultural heritage Matera has to offer to the world: rupestrian churches, frescos in caves, graveyards from Neolithic, churches and a unique shape representing probably one of the best examples of how man can adapt nature to its needs, "Sassi".
This work attracted researchers from UNESCO that recognized the old town, Sassi area and the area surrounding the city as cultural heritage worth the title of UNESCO world heritage site in 1993.
Overcoming shame
From 1993, slowly but constantly, the city recognized its value, started to become more and more known, visible in movies, studied by architects and archaeologist. All this reached a pick when first an association, then a committee, decided to candidate the city as European Capital of Culture for 2019. The decision signed the closure of the long journey of Matera from national shame to world beauty, from an unknown place to one of the city most attractive for researchers, cultural operators, visitors.
From 2019 to OCity
What will be the future of Matera after 2019? Have all the investments done in cultural and creative sector generated impact that will be able to last longer than the year as ECoC? Will the future be bright for creative industries?
First steps have been done.
It is the 22ndof July 2019 and the city of Matera is the first Italian city to enter O-City network together with other European and World cities promoting creative economy for local development and valorisation of cultural heritage.
This is just a first step to build the legacy of the city and its future based on culture, creativity, innovation and valorisation of its past.
Good luck Matera!

Where "Chapter 2" stumbles is in its plotting. The beauty of the first film was in the simplicity of story. Avenge the dog – that's it.
This film involves sibling rivalries, long cons, pawns, bounties and double crosses. It ends, then ends, and ends again, extending the exercise far beyond its welcome.


I went to Shotgun Alley to check out a strange sounding bird (which turned out to be a Bobwhite Quail) that I had heard about. While I was walking back to the car, I heard this whale before I saw it. It came up for another breath and I was able to get this picture before it dove.

Marty Schottenheimer, a longtime NFL coach, has died at 77
After a seven-year battle with Alzheimer's disease, former Cleveland Browns coach Marty Schottenheimer has died at the age of 77.
By: WEWS Staff
CHARLOTTE, NC. — After a seven-year battle with Alzheimer's disease, longtime NFL coach Marty Schottenheimer has died at the age of 77.
He served as head coach of the Cleveland Browns from 1984 to 1988, the Kansas City Chiefs from 1989 to 1998, the Washington football team in 2001, and the San Diego Chargers from 2002 to 2006.
Family friend and former Chiefs publicist Bob Moore told The Associated Press that Schottenheimer died late Monday night in North Carolina.
Schottenheimer was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2014. He was moved to a hospice facility near his home in Charlotte on January 30.
Schottenheimer is survived by his wife of 54 years, Pat, his children, Kristen and Brian, and grandchildren, Brandon, Sutton, Savannah and Catherine.
A life of football
Born in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, in 1943, Schottenheimer lived and breathed football, playing linebacker through high school and into college, at the University of Pittsburgh. He was selected in the fourth round of the 1965 NFL Draft by the Baltimore Colts and in the seventh round of the AFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills, opting to play for Buffalo.
After spending four years on the Bills and earning an AFL Championship, Schottenheimer played two seasons with the Boston Patriots before bouncing from the Pittsburgh Steelers to the Baltimore Colts and then retiring in 1971.
While he enjoyed several years as a professional football player, Schottenheimer made a name for himself several years later as a coach.
Unforgettable coaching legacy
Schottenhemier started his coaching career before his time as the Browns head coach, serving as the linebackers coach for the New York Giants in 1975 and 1976, the defensive coordinator for the Giants in 1977 and the linebackers coach for the Detroit Lions in 1978 and 1979. He was hired as the Browns' defensive coordinator in 1980.
His break as a head coach came with the Browns in 1984, when he replaced Sam Rutigliano, and he got his first full season as a head coach in 1985. That year, Schottenheimer and quarterback Bernie Kosar, who had just been selected in the 1985 supplemental draft, began an era of success in Cleveland that surpassed even the Kardiac Kids-era that fans had rallied around.
While Schottenheimer and his Browns never reached the Super Bowl, he helped make the team a perennial playoff contender during his tenure. In that time, Schottenheimer held a 44-27 record, a .620 winning percentage, and made four playoff appearances. The Browns, under Schottenehimer, won three AFC Central Division titles. After the 1988 season, Art Modell meddled with the successful coach (not for the first time), causing a rift that could not be reconciled, and Schottenheimer walked away from the Browns.
Schottenhemier went on the following season to become the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, where he would spend the next 10 years amassing a 101-58-1 regular season record and making seven playoff appearances with three divisional titles. Despite the regular season success, Schottenheimer and the Chiefs never made it to the Super Bowl, and he resigned as their head coach after the 1998 season.
After spending time as an analyst for ESPN, Schottenheimer re-sparked his head coaching career, taking the position with Washington for a season before being fired by owner Daniel Snyder in an unpopular move.
Schottenheimer wrapped up his NFL coaching days with the Chargers, spending five years with the team before being fired in 2007 after discord erupted within the organization.
In his years as an NFL head coach, Schottenheimer developed the coaching strategy referred to as "Marty ball" or run, run, pass, punt. It worked well for him throughout his coaching years during the regular season, but it never paid off in the playoffs. Schottenheimer's 205 wins are the most of any head coach to not reach or win an NFL championship.
But despite never winning it all, Schottenheimer's legacy is truly unforgettable, and his coaching tree continues to have an impact in the league to this day, with names such as Bruce Arians, Mike McCarthy, Bill Cowher, Tony Dungy, Hue Jackson, Mike Tomlin, Jim Caldwell, Doug Marrone, Todd Bowles and Leslie Frazier all tracing back to him.
Kosar reminisces
Former Browns Quarterback Bernie Kosar knew for some time this news was coming, but learning of the death of Schottenheimer still came as a blow.
"Remembering Marty as somebody you absolutely love and cherish, and I can't thank him enough for the structure, the discipline and the belief he had in me," Kosar said.
Schottenheimer's first full year as head coach in 1985 was Kosar's first as starting quarterback. Together they would turn around a team that started 1-7 the year before and turn it into a franchise that would go to two straight conference championships. Kosar said Schottenheimer, a former player himself, brought toughness, grittiness and discipline to the job, and also an attention to detail that made players look forward to Sunday.
"Practices were actually harder than the games, the two-a-days, the three-a-day practices, the amount of contact that you went through for practice actually made Sunday not as tough going against other teams," he said. "Probably shortened a lot of players careers, but in the short run of playing our teams were tough, disciplined, and every Sunday we knew we were ready to play."
Then he did it again with the Chiefs.
"For him to put the structure, organization together for two organizations that weren't winning football games and winning playoff games before he got there, to put those two teams and those two organizations together within a decade to get to multiple AFC Conference Championship games is absolutely not an easy feat to do," Kosar said.
Schottenheimer was in the early stages of Alzheimer's in 2016 when he returned to Cleveland to be honored with his 1986 team. It's a disease that in his final days robbed him, Kosar says, of truly appreciating this year's playoff showdown between two of his most successful franchises.
"It's really a shame that a man who's had such a massive influence on so many of us isn't really able to understand, really know the magnitude of a Browns-Chiefs game where he had such a major influence," Kosar said.
In life, fate kept Schottenheimer from the game's biggest stage, but Kosar is hoping in death he can still achieve the game's biggest honor. A football journey that started in Cleveland ending just down the road in Canton.
"When you talk about the history and tradition of the Cleveland Browns and going back to the great Paul Brown and Otto Graham, and to have Marty Schottenheimer mentioned in the same breath in that type of organization is absolutely confirming to our previous statement of his earning the right to have a house in Canton, the Hall of Fame," Kosar said.
Coach Marty Thank U For All You've Done & Ment In Mine & So Many of Our Lives U Will Be Greatly Missed 🏈For The Luv Of The Game 🙏🏼U Matter pic.twitter.com/7eHLbDq0Pp
— Bernie Kosar (@BernieKosarQB) February 9, 2021
Statement from the Browns
"The Cleveland Browns are saddened to learn of the passing of Marty Schottenheimer. As a head coach, he led the organization to four playoff appearances and three divisional titles, but it was his tough, hard-nosed, never give up the fight attitude the team embodied that endeared him to Browns fans and often led to thrilling victories. His impact on the game of football was not only felt in Northeast Ohio but across the entire NFL. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Pat, and his entire family."

When something is supposed to be easy, we say: "That ain't exactly rocket science!".
From the age of 11 one thing that was absolutely certain to me was that I was going to be a programmer. That was the age when I got my Commodore 64 and started to program in BASIC. I loved programming so much, that after a while I was programming more than I was playing games. There is something so sweet and pure about programming that nothing else in real life really can match it. Even with the bugs, time constraints and frustrations a modern programmer deals with, programming is still a sweet deal!
In 2001 Hibernate was created to ease development for the hordes of unhappy developers fighting with Java's poor EJB implementation. EJB was so confusing and over-engineered that Hibernate's simpler approach seemed like pure heaven in contrast. Eventually hibernate inspired Java's JPA and became a certified implementation of JPA. History lesson is over. Lets look at the status today. Right now Hibernate is a very popular ORM java library, maybe the most popular of them all. And I can't understand what is wrong with people.
This year Bergen had its first Game Development Festival, arranged by Linn Søvig, JoinGame and the Norwegian Game Developers Guild. The festival was named Konsoll, the Norwegian word for Console (read: Xbox, Ps3, Wii and the likes).
A hopeful entrepreneur has a set time to present his great idea to a panel of experts, and then the panel has a set time to critique the idea. When I say critique, I mean tear apart, as dragons do.
In my last blog post I talked about people pushing a process as the magic bullet when it is the people that matter. Having the wrong people on a team can cause havoc and kill a project. Sometimes these wrong people are cargo cult programmers. According to Wikipedia: 'Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm using "objects" – data structures consisting of data fields and methods together with their interactions – to design applications and computer programs.' OOP is supposed to be a practical way to organize a program into hierarchies of objects where similar objects can inherit behavior from each other and override that behavior when necessary. Objects can also contain other objects and that is a technique called composition. Certain programmers pick up OOP and fall in love with the rule-set without fully understanding it, or they over-apply the principles. These people are cargo cult programmers.
F*ck the process, embrace the team!

Q: how to write multiple conditions in if statement in cpn ml? I'm writing a cpn ml language code and I'm almost a beginner. I wanted to know how can I write 2 or several conditions in if statement? I mean I want to "and" several condition so that all of them should be  correct simultaneously.
Here is the code. Can I separate conditions using ; as a solution?
fun EvalD(Xw,Yw,Xb,Yb) = if Xw=8 then false
else if (Xw=7;Yw=1;Xb=8;Yb=1) then false
else if (Xw=7;Yw=2;Xb=8;Yb=2) then false
else true;

A: In CPN ML there are keywords 'andalso' and 'orelse' for this purpose.
