Home BUSINESS NNPC supplies over 10% of India's National Crude Oil
NNPC supplies over 10% of India's National Crude Oil
By Kalu Kalu, Abuja.
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation NNPC has expressed its readiness to continue to supply over 10 percent of India's crude oil demand in the face of competing demand for the product from other countries.
This commitment was made by the Group Managing Director of the NNPC, Mr Mele Kyari, when the Indian High Commissioner to Nigeria, His Excellency Abhay Thakur, paid him a courtesy visit in Abuja.
In a statement, the Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division of NNPC, Mr. Ndu Ughamadu, stated that Mr Kyari noted that Nigeria, through the NNPC, would continue to support India's energy security, adding that the recent Memorandum of Understanding in the area of energy between Nigeria and India would be consummated to further strengthen the bilateral relations between the two countries.
Mr Kyari said that the NNPC was desirous of growing the energy co-operation with India and that it was time to progress from just talking to walking the talk.
He noted that India is a very important market and that the NNPC would ensure that the current volume of crude oil supply from Nigeria to India is secured for the collective interest of both countries.
"We are ready to have a robust engagement with the Indian trade team to provide a win-win energy scenario between us. Every trade opportunity that is available will be fully explored," Mr Kyari said.
Earlier, the Indian High Commissioner to Nigeria, His Excellency Abhay Thakur, thanked the management of NNPC for the recent renewal of the crude oil term contracts for three Indian companies and sued for increment in the crude oil supply in view of the increasing energy needs of India.
He disclosed that India was ready to provide credit line mechanisms and expertise to help NNPC revamp its massive infrastructure across the country.
"India is prepared to offer Nigeria and particularly the NNPC a credit line mechanism to help her in the areas of refinery maintenance, construction, security, surveillance and anything possible. Our expertise in Information Technology (IT) is available as well.
"We are ready to co-operate with NNPC to boost our bilateral relations," Thakur asserted.
The Indian High Commissioner also congratulated Mr Kyari on his appointment as the Group Managing Director of NNPC, noting that the confidence placed in him was well considered for national interest.

Once you have made your final payment I will email you the door code and instructions to the condo. There are brochures for the different Attractions and Shows along with coupons on the counter.
My family stayed in this condo over fall break and we really enjoyed it. Quiet and comfortable and close to attractions in Branson. Loved the color changing fountain on the pond out back!
The condo is very clean and beautiful we really enjoyed our stay here, and the location is close to everything we wanted do.

More on Corporations and Free Speech
Following the Supreme Court ruling that our First Amendment right to free speech applied to corporations' speech regarding candidates for federal office – a ruling started when the FEC banned a movie – many have hysterically claimed this represents the end of democracy.
However, not extending First Amendment rights to corporations is a far greater threat to liberty. Should freedom of religion not apply to churches? Should freedom of the press not apply to corporate newspapers? Should freedom of speech not apply to book publishers? (Indeed, some already contend campaign finance restrictions should allow the government to censor books). Julian Sanchez expounds on this theme:
Having dispensed with the repellent doctrine of corporate personhood, we can happily declare that journalists enjoy full freedom of the press … as long as they don't plan on using the resources of the New York Times Company or Random House or Comcast, which as mere legal fictions can be barred from using their property to circulate unpatriotic ideas. You're free to practice your religion without interference — but if it's an unpopular one, well, let's hope you don't expect to send your kids to a religious school or build a church or something, because those tend to involve incorporating. A woman's right to choose is sacrosanct, but since clinics and hospitals are mere corporations with no such protection, she'd better hope she knows a doctor who makes house calls. Fill in your own scenarios, it's easy.
The Tax Foundation's Joe Henchman posits, "If corporations shouldn't have free speech rights, they shouldn't be taxed either."
Roger Pilon takes to task the New York Times hyperbole, noting their opposition to any form of private spending on political campaigns
save, of course, for those contributions that take the form of editorials coming from such corporate giants as The New York Times, which the First Amendment would continue to protect. Now there is a vision that warms the soul of the Great Gray Lady.
Don Boudreaux equally mocks the Los Angeles Times editorial
Criticizing the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Citizens United, Erwin Chemerinsky asserts that "There is no way to see this other than as the conservative justices using judicial review to advance the traditional conservative ideological agenda" ("Conservatives embrace judicial activism in campaign finance ruling," Jan. 23).
Really? Then why did both the AFL-CIO and the ACLU submit amicus briefs to the Court in support of the eventual winning outcome? Do these two organizations now embrace "the traditional conservative ideological agenda"? Seems unlikely.
The better explanation for this ruling is that the five justices in the majority sincerely believe that government restrictions on corporate campaign spending do, in fact, violate the First amendment – a belief that is neither "conservative" nor "liberal," just commonsensical.
Finally, Glenn Greenwald, from the left, defends the rule of law:
Either the First Amendment allows these speech restrictions or it doesn't. In general, a law that violates the Constitution can't be upheld because the law produces good outcomes (or because its invalidation would produce bad outcomes).
One of the central lessons of the Bush era should have been that illegal or unconstitutional actions — warrantless eavesdropping, torture, unilateral Presidential programs — can't be justified because of the allegedly good results they produce (Protecting us from the Terrorists). The "rule of law" means we faithfully apply it in ways that produce outcomes we like and outcomes we don't like.

Q: XML encoded HTML to XSLT How do I take XML-encoded HTML and create a XSLT?   I have the xml/html page linked to the XSLT file and it shows the text from the document but will not show the link or picture.  The image in the XML/HTML is in a folder called images within the folder where the xml and xslt are.
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="XLST.xslt"?>

      <title>CATS! CATS! CATS!</title>

CATS

        Visit Google...

      Cats like milk!

        <image> </image>

And the XSLT file:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:template match="html">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="body" />

  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="body">

      <xsl:attribute name="src">
        <xsl:value-of select="//Cats"/>
      </xsl:attribute>

  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

A: Transforming an existing xhtml document to an almost identical xhtml document with just a few additions isn't something you would normally do, but it's relatively easy. Start with a stylesheet that only includes the identity template:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

  <xsl:template match="@* | node()">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

This will output the xhtml exactly as-is, then you can add in templates to supplement your source xhtml. For example, adding in this:
<xsl:template match="body">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>

    <xsl:apply-templates select="node()"/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

Will add an image at the start of the body element. It copies the element itself, then it's attributes, inserts an image, then copies the child elements.

Earlier today I posted my 5 star review of our Songmics Toy Storage Unit and I am pleased to announce that I have one to giveaway too!
Songmics kids' storage unit is a wonderful addition to any playroom and is a fun way to add extra storage or display your little one's favourite toys! It has nine plastic storage containers and is child-sized so that they can learn to retrieve and put away their books, toys and games by themselves. The unit is made of high-quality density fiberboard and is robust and sturdy whilst remaining lightweight enough to be moved if required. Finished in a durable non-toxic coating, the whole unit can be wiped clean which makes cleaning a breeze.
To win one of these toy storage units, simply leave a blog comment below telling me what you'd store in yours if you won, and record your entry in the Rafflecopter widget below.
This giveaway closes midnight 29/10/17. UK entrants only. There will be one winner.
Lots of Deanna's toys! Perfect for the new home!
I think we'd sort out the books and have a man drawer too.
I would store my grandchildren's toys!
It would be ideal for books and toys that the children can reach to suit themselves.

Supe bowl
By Tom Gascoyne
Last week Tim Bousquet, editor, publisher and deliverer of the Chico Examiner, reported Chico City Councilmember Steve Bertagna was going to run next year for Mary Anne Houx's county supervisor's seat. That wasn't really news—we pointed it out when we endorsed him last year and then repeated it until Houx told us to knock it off. Still, the Enterprise-Record made it front-page, top-of-the-fold news this week. Pretty interesting that the daily would follow Bousquet's lead, when it refuses to acknowledge that he or his paper even exist. In its story the E-R could at least have said, "According to a member of the local media …"
Last April, Bertagna told us he would wait to see what Houx decided about her political future before making official his quest for her seat. And indeed, according to an inside source, Houx was about to announce two months ago that she was ready to quit and get out of the way so a younger candidate could take over. But apparently Bertagna, who can come across as rather arrogant at times, so angered Houx when he met and talked with her that she changed her mind. The source said, "She smelled blood." Soon after that she contacted Assemblyman Sam Aanestad and asked for his endorsement. In the E-R story, Bertagna comes across as critical of Houx. He says the paper paraphrased his comments inaccurately. That happens. Now Bertagna and Houx are going to beat each other up and split the Republican vote. The liberals would rather see Houx than Bertagna in the seat but could come to realize that this may be a good time to run a candidate of their own. (Place Scott Gruendl's name here.) For his part, Bertagna said we took him out of context when we said he was waiting for Houx to decide her political future before he announced his plans. Oh. But now he has announced and the battle begins. John Gillander, gadfly and conservative goofball, predicted, "We'll beat Houx by a landslide." The Republicans have been in control so long in Butte County that they're starting to eat their young.
Supervisor Jane Dolan, who's been in office since, oh, about 1946, will be facing John Merrifield in the primaries next March. Merrifield is a farm-property real estate man from Durham who ran against and lost to Dolan three terms ago. While present at this week's Chico City Council meeting, Merrifield called Bertagna his "running mate." "Hey, I guess we're running mates, huh?" he said a couple of times to Bertagna. We couldn't hear Bertagna's response, though we suppose it was positive. Merrifield used to take out an ad in this paper to run a weekly column on what he thinks about things.
We hear that Bruce Sessions, KPAY's conservative talk show host, will step down this fall. Sessions said he's not sure yet and that if we reported this he might well change his mind. He told me more than a year ago that he would leave the station sometime after the November 2000 election. Now word is that he will be hired as Butte County Sheriff Scott Mackenzie's new press liaison. Dino Corbin, new manager at KPAY, and Sessions don't get along too well, we heard. But Sessions and Mackenzie are pretty good pals. Another couple of political buddies, Supervisor Kim Yamaguchi and political operative David Reade, made a splash recently when the Paradise Post reported Reade had recently taken a job as consultant to NorCal Waste Systems. The supervisor pushed hard to secure NorCal's place as one of only two haulers allowed to operate in Butte County. We hear that Reade really wanted to be the county administrator, a job currently held by John Blacklock, who last March announced he was retiring in September.

Q: Can anybody help to resolve the TypeError: 'float' object is not callable' in following code I am writing a function for velocity and acceleration in the code below:
from math import exp

def kinematics(x,t,dt=1E-4):

    x=x(t)
    v_x=(x(t+dt)-x(t-dt))/(2*dt)
    a_x=(x(t+dt)-2*x(t)+x(t-dt))/(dt**2)
    return x,v_x,a_x

x=lambda t:exp(-(t-4)**2)

print(kinematics(x,5,dt=1E-5))

However I get the following error:
TypeError: 'float' object is not callable

Can anybody kindly point out the mistake?

A: You're reassigning your lambda to the return value of the lambda.
x=x(t)

After this point, x is no longer a lambda, it's a float.

A: You are redining x in the first line of the function:
def kinematics(x,t,dt=1E-4):
    x=x(t)
    ...

Use this:
def kinematics(x,t,dt=1E-4):
    v_x=(x(t+dt)-x(t-dt))/(2*dt)
    a_x=(x(t+dt)-2*x(t)+x(t-dt))/(dt**2)
    return x(t),v_x,a_x


Becoming an Electrician in Vermont begins with getting hands-on work experience and training. To do this you must be registered as an apprentice through the Vermont Department of Labor. The next step is to become a licensed electrician. The Electrical Licensing Board in the state licenses journeymen electricians, master electricians and specialists.
Complete an apprenticeship program that includes at least 576 hours of classroom instruction and 8,000 hours of work experience that provides on-the-job training.
Complete an educational program related to electrical technology and get 8,000 hours of work experience.
Complete 12,000 hours of work experience.
To become a specialist you will need 2,000 additional work experience hours in the area of expertise for which you are seeking a license. To qualify for master electrician licensing you must have worked as a licensed journeyman for two years or have 16,000 hours of on-the-job training and work experience.
The alternative to the union-based JATC apprenticeship program is to complete a certificate or degree program at a trade or technical school. If you choose this path you will also need to find an electrician to apprentice with. Many schools will help with placement. The main school in Vermont with electrical technology programs is Vermont Technical College, with campuses in Randolph Center, Williston, Bennington, Brattleboro, Lyndon, Middlebury, Morrisville, Newport, St. Albans, Springfield, Rutland and White River Junction.
Vermont Tech partners with the Vermont Department of Labor to provide an approved apprenticeship program for students who want to become electricians. The electrical program offers courses two nights a week at many of the satellite campuses, online courses, and one Saturday each month at the Randolph Center campus. Students work and earn as apprentices during the day.
If you were hoping to become an electrician in Vermont, the outlook for getting a job is good. The BLS states that 1,380 electricians were employed in the state in 2014 and that there will be 1,570 more by 2024. Those additional electricians will be the ones who are training today, so opportunities in the state will be available for you if you start a program now.
You can also expect to earn a great salary as a Vermont electrician. In 2017, the average annual salary for a licensed electrician was $51,920. There are also options to earn more with specialties and additional years of experience. The highest-earning electricians in the state in 2017 were making an average of $69,950 per year.
Once you have trained as an apprentice and achieved journeyman electrician licensing in Vermont, you will have a lot of different options for work. You may choose to work in residential buildings, commercial buildings or both, for instance. You may be hired by a contractor or building company to work on either type of building, or you may be hired directly by an industrial company to work in a plant. Regardless of what you choose, there will be options for qualified electricians in Vermont in the coming years.
You may also want to check out options in New Hampshire, New York and Massachusetts.


I recently wrote one of the authors of a quilting blog that I love to read. I was asking for advice on how to actually sell my quilts. I felt a little sheepish - because I know that she has kids and is busy. But, I knew that she was good friends with one of my Aunts, and I knew that she was super nice. So I was brave and sent her the email. I think sending the email was hard, because it was admitting that my Etsy shop hasn't really seen much business, and I wanted help.
Her response was so kind and loving. She said that she remembered what its like to be a young Mom and just want to be able to fund your own hobby (quilting is pretty expensive). She offered to throw an add on her site and then, (this part made me cry) she asked what my mailing address was, just in case she ever had some extra fabric she could send me. Wow! It made my day for three days - I kept thinking about it. It felt so good to be cared about, especially when I was afraid of coming off as just another annoying person. She didn't treat me that way - she was so kind and helped me feel like I mattered.
It was then that I realized that I want to do that somehow with quilting - I wanted to be able to make people feel the way she had made me feel. I've always loved just giving quilts away best, but...I couldn't really fund that on my own. I thought of some families I know with very sick kids who suffer chronically. I thought it'd be so fun to make custom quilts for them - so they (and their parents) would feel like they mattered. I got to thinking...what if I asked my friends to donate just a dollar. If enough donated, I could start making the quilts. Well, it was a new scary thing for me - but I made up a blog for it and asked for donations. I'm about to finish my first quilt and I'm working on my second. So many people responded with donations that my husband and I were blown away.
The fun thing is that the custom orders are helping me push my limits. The first quilt I did was for a little boy who loves athletics. I was inspired by Allison Harris' football to come up with a quilted soccer ball as well as a basketball. (I'll post the tutorials a little later). So, some of the things in my shop will have all the proceeds go to the Fund a Quilt project.

Our ladies' section has almost 100 members and we're really keen for new people to join us. Enmore Park is a beautiful golf course and you'll find everyone here very welcoming. Our "Women into Golf" programme is both affordable and comprehensive, and we start in April 2019 with "Bubbles and Balls"
As the name suggests this is a chance for a golf with a little bit of fizz! Enjoy a FREE two hour session with the focus on informal fun, where we'll hit a few golf balls, have a chat about the club, answer your questions and sit down for a glass of Prosecco or two. For a little more info and the dates please follow this link. Alternatively please follow this link to download our leaflet.
After "Bubbles and Balls" we'll be running an eight week course in May and June for complete beginners to the game. The cost is just £80.00 which includes two vouchers to play the nine hole course for just £9.00 and you'll also be given a seven-iron to keep. During the lessons we'll be covering all of the basics of the game with tuition from PGA Professional David Wixon. David is a quite excellent coach and he'll have you hitting drives and holing putts in no time.
As we progress we'll move onto the course to play a few holes and discuss things like etiquette and course management, continuing to answer questions as we go.
Once the eight weeks is complete we hope you'll have been bitten by the golf bug, and we'll discuss your options for the next steps, possibly with a view to membership when you feel ready. What there won't be is any pressure, just make your own decision in your own time.
Simply call the club on 01278 672100 (option 4 during office hours or option 1 on any day) and we'll take things from there. Remember, "Bubbles and Balls" is free, and there's absolutely no obligation to continue on to the £80.00 programme. However, we think that when you experience Enmore Park you'll be sorely tempted.


STATE CAPITOL, PHOENIX – Senator Barbara McGuire, LD8, released the following statement on today's failure of HB2246 in the Senate. The bill would have allowed a parent to opt-out their child from the statewide student assessment system beginning next school year.
"I understand that there are many parents who are concerned about our state's educational assessment tests and HB2246 was another in parents' educational tool box giving them a choice when it comes to the specific needs of their child. This bill would have allowed those parents to opt-out their children instead of missing class to avoid the tests, which would have penalized our teachers and district schools. It also would have afforded the state time to discuss its No Child Left Behind waiver with the U.S. Department of Education," said Sen. McGuire.

Richard Elesho/Lokoja
As the people of Kogi State warm-up for local government elections on December 12th, the State Independent Electoral Commission (SIEC) has clarified that it will not make use of Card Readers for the exercise.
Mamman Nda Eri, Chairman of the Commission disclosed this at a stakeholders' meeting on Monday, explaining that the use of card reader is not in the Kogi state electoral law and guidelines.
"Card Readers would not be used for the Polls as such provision was not included in its guidelines but voters card and voters register provided for by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) would be largely relied on," he said

At first glance, the launch of silhouette switches on the Australian market was nothing unusual. In reality, however, the range was able to achieve exceptional success thanks to a highly innovative approach, one that may be used as a template for effective communication between companies, partners and customers in the future.
After all, with a market share in Australia of less than 2% for switches and sockets, Hager Group has, until now, been a niche provider at best. When Hager Group's powerful competitors present their new products, they often do so with a marketing budget 25 times that of Hager. One of the top dogs in the market took to renting football stadiums in all major cities for one of its launch campaigns. The stadiums were filled with partners and potential customers. "We knew that the only way to succeed in this environment would be to find a creative way to achieve broader exposure," says Ross Magee, Managing Director of Marketing & Sales at Hager Australia. And it was this creativity that characterised silhouette from the very beginning.
For the launch of the silhouette range, Hager strategists developed something of a 'David meets Goliath' concept in the form of a dedicated plan to help their new product achieve maximum market recognition with limited resources. This included giving key construction companies, general contractors and architects a selection of test products.
Over a series of events, construction planners were convinced to adopt the range of switches, whose minimalistic, chic design makes them an excellent fit for luxury residential buildings. Some 300 electrical wholesalers were also given large free-standing displays to promote silhouette on their premises. Other materials included a high-quality brochure and sales videos featuring electricians talking about the advantages of the switch range.
Most importantly, the silhouette team was able to convince 200 wholesalers to send their sales consultants on half-day introductory workshops. The sales consultants returned from these workshops with plenty of insight into the new range, as well as demonstration kits and product samples to share with their customers. As a result, the manpower of the 30-person Hager sales team was extended at a stroke.
And silhouette exceeded all expectations from the very beginning. Since the inception of the range in the spring of 2016, sales have increased every month. On three occasions, stocks were completely sold out, so customers had to go home empty-handed.
You can read the full story about silhouette in the Hager Group Annual Report 2017/18.

Being a working at home mommy, I'm super busy and Izzy is with me ALL THE TIME.
Whether we are driving or running errands She's mostly likely going to want a snack and I want her eating products that are protein packed and more often than not I try to give her organic food.
Sprout® came out with brand new products that are just what we need. Protein packed and perfect for busy parents on the go. I had to share because this is a company that does their very best to transparent with us as consumers.
If you don't already know about Sprout®, they provide premium organic foods & snacks for babies and toddlers. The use only USDA certified organic, non-GMO ingredients which include a mix of whole fruits, vegetables and grains.
This means if the container states Carrot, Apple, Banana on the front, then those will be the same primary ingredients you will find listed on the back.
Sprout's Stage 3 Baby Food Purees and Power Pak Toddler Purees deliver protein through plants. Yes, plant protein! They act as a healthy alternative to the typical meat and dairy-based protein families may eat.
Sprout's Organic Curlz baked toddler snacks are made from chickpeas and lentils. Izzy is pretty obsessed with them and I feel good about giving them to her.
Educate yourself further on Sprout's products here and also snag some discounts and deals so you can try them!
The Curlz are our favorites!
This seems like a really great healthy option!
Oooh! We haven't tried this brand yet, but now we're definitely going to!
Yummmm the whole household enjoyed those white cheddar curlz!
Evelyn loves this brand! Henry is always trying to steal her snacks, lol!
These products are great, I especially need to try that pouch!
We really need to try those pouches, so awesome!
I'm always looking for ways to get my kids to eat more protein, so we'll have to try these!

New Aston Martin Supercar: AM-RB
Published on: Tuesday - 05 July 2016
Categories: news Tags: am-rb , aston
Today Aston Martin are anouncing one of their most exciting projects to date: the AM-RB 001.
It takes more cues from Motorsport than any previous design from Aston.
That's becuase it's being designed by Adrian Newey who is also resonsible for the Red Bull F1 car.
AM-RB will be built by both Aston and Red Bull with a total production of 99 to 150 cars.
5 July 2016, Gaydon, England: Aston Martin and Red Bull Racing are today revealing their ground-breaking hypercar; codenamed AM-RB 001.
The product of a unique Innovation Partnership between the British luxury brand and eminent F1TM team, this ambitious, uncompromising and wholly extraordinary collaboration combines the vision and skills of two world-leading brands to create a road car the like of which has never been seen before.
The three men charged with realising this shared vision are Adrian Newey, Red Bull Racing's Chief Technical Officer and the world's most successful F1TM designer, Marek Reichman, Aston Martin EVP and Chief Creative Officer and David King, VP and Chief Special Operations Officer. Together they spearhead a formidable alliance. One that combines more than a hundred years of specialism – both with heritage, making some of the world's most beautiful and charismatic GT cars, and with technological brilliance and relentless pursuit of speed and efficiency that has seen Red Bull Racing excel in the ferociously competitive world of Formula One.
Reichman and Newey are working closely on all aspects of the project, striving to ensure the AM-RB 001 is an unprecedented fusion of form and function: a car engineered to be entirely useable and enjoyable as a road car, but with the capability to perform like no road car before it on a race track. For those who crave an even more intensely focused driving experience, a track-only AM-RB 001 is also in development, the projected performance of which is in line with that of today's LMP1 Le Mans sports prototypes.
Built around a lightweight carbon fibre structure, the AM-RB 001 boasts truly radical aerodynamics for unprecedented levels of downforce in a road-legal car. Thanks to the genius of Newey's design much of this downforce is generated through underfloor aerodynamics, leaving Reichman free to craft a pure yet breathtaking dramatic form that elegantly expresses both the AM-RB 001's cutting-edge dynamism and the unmistakable essence of Aston Martin.
Uncompromising in all respects, the AM-RB 001 is a bespoke machine from the tyres up. It will be built by David King and his team at Gaydon, in the purpose-built facility created for Aston Martin's original hypercar, the One-77. More details of the AM-RB 001's technical specification will be revealed in due course, but its heart is a new, mid-mounted, high-revving, naturally aspirated V12 engine with the potency to achieve a 1:1 power-to-weight ratio; 1 bhp per kilo of weight.
To cope with the extreme aerodynamic loadings at high speeds yet deliver the on-road usability and comfort levels that sit at the heart of the concept, the AM-RB 001's suspension system will feature innovative technology and employ principles honed by Newey over his thirty year career. Likewise, the transmission is a clean-sheet design conceived by Newey and developed by Red Bull Advanced Technologies.
While boundary-pushing performance is clearly of paramount importance, so too is exceptional efficiency and packaging. Newey's unrivalled knowledge has enabled the AM-RB 001 to be extremely light and compact, yet offer genuine comfort and space for driver and passenger and house a V12 engine.
Adrian Newey, Red Bull Racing's Chief Technical Officer, says of the AM-RB 001 project: "I've long harboured the desire to design a road car. The formation of Red Bull Advanced Technologies brought me a step closer to realising that ambition, but I believed we should work with an automotive manufacturer. Aston Martin was at the top of my list. The synergy between Red Bull Racing and Aston Martin is clear. I knew Red Bull Racing had the ability to handle the pure performance aspects, but Aston Martin's experience of making beautiful, fast and comfortable GT cars is of great benefit to the project. I've always been adamant that the AM-RB 001 should be a true road car that's also capable of extreme performance on track, and this means it really has to be a car of two characters. That's the secret we're trying to put into this car – the technology that allows it to be docile and comfortable, but with immense outright capabilities."
David King, Aston Martin's VP and Chief Special Operations Officer, adds: "Working at Aston Martin means you get to be a part of some truly special projects, but the AM-RB 001 is a dream – a true once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Of course it's a huge engineering challenge, too, but the game-changing objectives of this programme have a uniquely energising effect on everyone involved. We have world-class people and facilities at Gaydon. We're all motivated to achieve great things and take Aston Martin to the absolute pinnacle of road car performance."
Marek Reichman, Aston Martin's Chief Creative Officer, says of the AM-RB 001: "Working so closely alongside Adrian and an organisation like Red Bull Racing is a fabulous experience. By definition the objectives we've set for the car ensures there has never been an Aston Martin – or any car, actually – quite like the AM-RB 001. The shared challenge has been finding that magical tipping point where we achieve the most efficient engineering solutions and the most beautiful styling solutions without any compromises. My personal challenge has been expressing the AM-RB 001's extraordinary performance and the unique way in which it delivers that performance. Its style reflects its revolutionary nature, while possessing the form and beauty that makes it unmistakably an Aston Martin."
Dr Andy Palmer, Aston Martin President and CEO, commented: "The AM-RB 001 is a truly remarkable project and something of which I'm extremely proud. To have Aston Martin working alongside Adrian Newey, Red Bull Racing and the invaluable assistance of project partner AF Racing AG is an extraordinary creative collaboration. One that unites the very best of road and race car thinking. As the project gathers pace its clear the end result will be a truly history-making hypercar that sets incredible new benchmarks for packaging, efficiency and performance and an achievement that elevates Aston Martin to the very highest level."
Christian Horner, Team Principal, Red Bull Racing said: "Red Bull Racing has always steered an innovative course in our ongoing development of a competitive Formula One car. The conception and modus operandi of Red Bull Technologies has been to apply our expertise to truly progressive projects and partnerships. Our relationship with Aston Martin and the realisation of the AM-RB 001 is pioneering and borne of our synergies and desire to break new ground. The AM-RB 001 is the inspirational product of this collaborative spirit."
Continuing the on-going Innovation Partnership, the task of engineering the AM-RB 001 will be shared between Q by Aston Martin Advanced and Red Bull Advanced Technologies, with production taking place at Aston Martin's Gaydon facility. Total volume will be between 99 and 150 road cars inclusive of all remaining prototypes and 25 track-only versions, with first deliveries commencing in 2018.
Aston Martin DB11 Revealed
Published on: Tuesday - 01 March 2016
Categories: Uncategorized Tags: aston , db11
This morning Aston Martin revealed the DB11 at the Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland.
1 March 2016, Geneva: A new chapter in Aston Martin's history began at the 86th International Geneva Motor Show with the unveiling of the DB11. The first product launched under the company's 'Second Century' plan, DB11 is the bold new figurehead of the illustrious 'DB' bloodline and an authentic, dynamic sporting GT in the finest Aston Martin tradition.
The DB11 showcases a fresh and distinctive design language, pioneering aerodynamics and is powered by a potent new in-house designed 5.2-litre twin-turbocharged V12 engine. Built upon a new lighter, stronger, and more space efficient bonded aluminium structure, DB11 is the most powerful, most efficient and most dynamically gifted DB model in Aston Martin's history. As such, it is the most significant new Aston Martin since the introduction of the DB9 in 2003.
Aston Martin Chief Executive Officer, Dr Andy Palmer said: "We aspire to make the most beautiful cars in the world. DB11 is the absolute embodiment of what an Aston Martin should be and we have worked tirelessly to ensure that DB11 combines both exceptional design with the latest technology throughout. A brand new bonded aluminium platform, clever aerodynamics, a new characterful twin-turbo V12 and class-leading infotainment systems are just a few aspects which make this the sports car that will proudly spearhead Aston Martin's second century plan."
Heralding a new design era for Aston Martin, DB11 is the latest landmark in a remarkable aesthetic journey; one that gave us icons such as the DB2/4, DB5 and, most recently, the DB10 developed specifically for James Bond. DB11 re-imagines the relationship between form and function with a series of fresh design signatures. Foremost amongst these are the front-hinging clamshell bonnet, distinctive LED headlights and accentuated lines of the iconic Aston Martin grille. The profile is equally dramatic, thanks to the roof strakes that flow uninterrupted from A-pillar to C-pillar. The clean lines continue at the rear, with a sloping decklid that smoothly blends into boldly sculpted tail-lights to create a new and unmistakable graphic.
Innovative aerodynamics play their part in this aesthetic revolution with clever management of airflow both over and through the bodywork aiding stability while preserving the DB11's uncluttered surfaces. Front-end lift is reduced by the gill-like Curlicue which releases high-pressure air from inside the wheel arch via a concealed vent within the redesigned side-strake. Meanwhile, rear-end lift is reduced by the Aston Martin AeroBladeTM; a virtual spoiler fed by discreet air intakes located at the base of each C-pillar. Air is ducted through the bodywork, before venting as a jet of air from the aperture in the rear decklid.
Like every Aston Martin, the heart of the DB11 is found beneath the bonnet, though unlike any Aston Martin before it, the DB11's heart is a 5.2-litre twin-turbocharged V12. Designed in-house this new engine develops 608PS1 (600BHP1) and 700Nm1 of torque, making DB11 the most powerful production DB model ever. Naturally, it's the most dynamic and most accelerative too, with a top speed of 200mph1 and a 0-62mph time of just 3.9sec1. Thanks to intelligent bank activation and stop-start technology that potency is matched by greatly improved efficiency.
To exploit the advantages of its new body structure and harness the immense performance of the new twin-turbo V12 engine, the DB11's chassis, suspension, steering and electronics have been re-imagined and key new technologies embraced. Multiple driver-selectable dynamic modes – GT, Sport and Sport Plus – progressively intensify the response of the engine, 8-speed automatic ZF transmission together with the new electric power steering and Torque Vectoring by braking while increasing the firmness of the adaptive damping for a greater sense of agility. The result is a driving experience that combines exemplary ride comfort and true sports car agility, for an extraordinary breadth of dynamic capability.
As a true 21st century Aston Martin the DB11 combines the very latest technology developed in conjunction with technical partner, Daimler AG, with the finest quality and hand craftsmanship. Using a full-colour 12" TFT LCD display, the all-new instrument cluster presents primary vehicle information with absolute clarity, while a second, centrally-mounted 8" TFT screen is dedicated to infotainment. Controlled via an intuitive rotary control, with an optional touchpad offering character recognition, multi-touch and gesture support, the new satellite navigation and audio system have never been more effective, sounded better or been easier to operate. A newly implemented auto-park assist feature and 360-degree birds-eye view camera helps provide safe maneuvering at slow speeds and is also operated via the car's infotainment system.
With wider door apertures, significantly increased occupant space – especially head and legroom in the rear – fully integrated rear ISOFIX mounting points for a pair of child seats plus a luggage compartment large enough to accommodate two large holdalls plus carry-on baggage, the DB11 is a genuine Grand Tourer. Thanks to an inspiring palette of colours and a vast array of detailing options, its interior can be perfectly in-tune with your unique personal style. From calming, carefully co-ordinated tones to sharp contrasts in hue and texture, your choices are virtually limitless. Nexus quilting and Celestial perforation add layers of beautiful complexity and intrigue, while ornate leatherwork, such as intricate brogue detailing, creates areas of visual and tactile delight.
Dr Andy Palmer said: ""This is not only the most important car that Aston Martin has launched in recent history, but also in its 103-year existence. The DB11 rightfully places Aston Martin once again as a leading brand in the luxury automotive market".
Recommended Retail Price from £154,900 in the UK2, €204,900 in Germany2 and $211,995 in USA3, first deliveries of the DB11 car are scheduled to begin during the fourth quarter of 2016.
1962 Aston Martin DB4GT Zagato for sale
Published on: Thursday - 10 December 2015
Categories: auction Tags: aston , db4 , zagato
**UPDATE: Sold for $14,300,000 USD**
Tomorrow Rm Auctions will present this 1962 Aston Martin DB4GT Zagato chassis DB4GT/0186/R for sale at their Driven By Disruption auction in New York.
This car belongs to a select few racing DB4s that were send to Zagato in Italy for a lightweight and attractive body. It is 14th of just 19 DB4GTs tailor-made by Zagato.
The Zagato's first owner was Laurie O'Neill of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia who raced it in the South Pacific GT Championship. It subsequently stayed in Australia for over 30 years.
In recent time Peter Read commisioned a top level restoration by RS Williams Ltd with assistance from Carrozzeria Zagato's own facilities in Italy. The result was shown at the 2002 Louis Vuitton Concours, Villa d'Este, and Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.
RM Auctions expect $15,000,000 – $17,000,000 for this car and desribe the oppurtunity in their own words: "With only 19 DB4 GTs graced with coachwork by Zagato, just having the opportunity to see a DB4GT Zagato is a dream few realize. So treasured by their owners, not a single example has traded hands for the greater part of a decade. While its direct competitor from Italy would be the Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta, it would be more appropriate to compare the car to the vaunted 250 GTO, though both were produced in greater numbers. Both Aston Martin and Ferrari pushed the envelope of performance when these models were new, both boast wins on the world's most competitive stage, and both boast handcrafted aluminum bodywork with designs worthy of inclusion in any major art museum. However, in terms of rarity, nearly half as many DB4 GT Zagatos were built compared to the 250 GTO."

Today a Victoria icon was reunited with the streets after being in limbo since the 1960s.
This DB2/4 was just completed by Jetstream Custom Auto and Jason brought it by to show off his excellent work.
The car has been at Styles for sometime and fitted with an incredible interior including Mercedes-Gulling-patterned front seats.
Over 20 years ago we helped the project along with some ignition and carburetor work, so it's a real charm to see it in action.

"The French Had a Name For It," Don Malcolm's festival of Gallic noir returns to San Francisco's Roxie Theatre, Nov. 12-14, but on Sunday, Oct. 24, he serves up an appetizer with two tribute double bills. In the evening, Malcolm pays homage to the great Jean Gabin with screenings of two of the actor's best, the 1954 heist film Touchez pas au grisbi (Hands Off the Loot!), and Des gens sans importance (People of No Importance), a 1956 drama limning the affair between Gabin's middle-aged truck driver and a young waitress (François Arnoul). The afternoon belongs to Jean-Paul Belmondo with two films that capture the actor's formidable charisma just before he achieved stardom with his breakthrough in Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless.
Belmondo's role is but a small supporting part in Marcel Carné's Les tricheurs (The Cheaters), a drama about the star-crossed romance between a bourgeois suburbanite (Jacques Charrier) and a hipster existentialist (Pascale Petit). A superb jazz and early rock 'n' roll soundtrack that features, among others, Chet Baker, Fats Domino, Lionel Hampton, Dizzy Gillespie, and The Champs propels the action that moves from cafes to the luxurious apartment of one particularly well-heeled member of this demimonde to a club on the Champs-Élysées.
Belmondo makes a striking entrance, rifling through coats at a party, then moves in and out of the action. He rivets the screen in the scenes that he is in – that he is destined to be a star is hardly surprising.
The second feature in the tribute is Á double tour (Web of Passion), Claude Chabrol's third feature, which begins as the study of a dysfunctional upper-class Provence family before shifting in a murder mystery as Henri Marcoux's (Jacques Dacqmine) young artist mistress Leda (Antonella Luadi) comes to a bad end. And while Roger (Mario David), the village milkman, is arrested for the crime, there is a whole houseful of suspects at the Marcoux villa to consider.
Belmondo is Laszlo Kovacs – the alias the actor's character Michel would later adopt in Breathless – tactless, gross fiancé to Henri's daughter Elisabeth (Jeanne Valérie). He is the man who introduced his future father-in-law to Leda, an old friend. He delights in taunting Elisabeth's mother Thérèse (Madeleine Robinson) with his boorishness and recognizes that Elisabeth's classical music-obsessed brother Richard's (André Jocelyn) is more than simply eccentric. He's a pig, cheerfully so, but when it comes to toxic masculinity and misogyny he's a rank amateur compared to Papa Marcoux.
Call this double bill "Baby Steps to Belmondo," as what both films offer are striking glimpses into what Godard saw when he cast the actor in Breathless. The rough-hewn magnetism is there. It was just awaiting the director who would fully exploit it. –Pam Grady
