text: Latest Analysis Marine Le Pen has exposed the hoax that is 'Russiagate' in one simple yet courageous move Speaking constructively with foreign powers is a good thing, even if one of those powers if Russia. Le Pen has shown the world the meaning of détente Published 2 years ago on March 25, 2017 By Adam 4,599 Views Share Tweet Marine Le Pen has just proved that she is more clever than the thousands of anti-Russian politicians in the west, but also more astute than many of the western politicians who are sympathetic to Russia. Where people like Nigel Farage, Francois Fillon and even to a lesser extent Donald Trump have often distanced themselves from or played down their lack of hatred towards Russia, Marine Le Pen has gone the opposite way, she had a public meeting with President Putin with the eyes of the world watching. This is why Le Pen is an admirable woman, even for those who may not agree with her politics. There's no better way to hush up a tired conspiracy than to expose the absurdity of the conspiracy theory. Michael Flynn acted as though he wished that he'd never been in the same room with Russian vodka let alone a Russian man. Rex Tillerson pretended to have a more negative view of Russia before the Senate than he likely actually does. By contrast, Marine Le Pen has done what many prominent opposition candidates on the likely verge of power do; she meet with a representative of an important foreign power with whom say may be directly dealing with in the near future, in this case the possible next President of France met with the current President of Russia. Her public meeting has demonstrated the gist of many private meetings held between sane western officials and Russian ones, namely a broad commitment to improve rather than to further destroy diplomatic relations. When Nixon did it, it was called détente, but when people surrounding Donald Trump even attempted to do it, some call it treason. I can scarcely think of anything more apropos than a French person re-educating the world as to the meaning of détente. Le Pen stated the obvious in her meeting. She explained that both Russia and the US are important superpowers and that the states of Europe such as France, could only benefit from having good relations with both the US and Russia. Furthermore, she said that she would be happy to work with both President Putin and President Trump if she got elected. Only in the awkward world of post-modern western politics could such a statement be seen as controversial. She said that peace and good relations is preferable to the opposite and that she respects the leaders of two of the three global superpowers. In any other place and in any other generation, this would be considered a rather throw away statement, but the hysteria of the ideologically driven anti-Russian 21st century west, has elevated these simple remarks to the level of the profound. Le Pen has encouraged other Europeans to admit that Crimea is Russia and she has also supported the anti-fascist struggle of the Donbass people. Is this why some in the European MSM call her a fascist? The twists of logic would be laughable if they weren't tragic. I believe that Le Pen is intelligent and understands the moral underpinnings of the struggle of the Donbass people to repel fascist aggression. I also feel that she truly understands and respects the will of the Crimean people as expressed in a democratic referendum. But beyond this, Le Pen is pragmatic. It took Richard Nixon to set in motion the inevitable reality that the capital of China is Beijing and not Taipei. Even old right-wing Cold Warriors had to eventually admit which China was the China, no matter how much they would have preferred the other China. Likewise, even western leaders of the far-right (or so-called liberals who are far right in all but name) who have sympathies with the neo-Nazi regime in Kiev, ought to admit that realistically, Crimea is a peaceful part of Russia, no matter who much they salivate at night over the thought of fascist banners flying over the beaches of Yalta. The sooner they come to terms with this, the better it will be for them. Marine Le Pen has talked a lot of common sense and in going to Russia she has shown that the 'Russian connections' scandal is a big hoax. She didn't do it by denying the fact that she wants to improve relations between Paris and Moscow, she did it by flying from Paris to Moscow and acting in a far more diplomatic and presidential manner than the current French President. For the first time in several generations, France has a big ticket politician of whom the people can be proud. Liked it? Take a second to support The Duran on Patreon!

Published 8 hours ago on March 25, 2019 By Alex Christoforou The Duran's Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris examine a recent interview with the Financial Times given by Wolfgang Schäuble, where the former German Finance Minister, who was charged with finding a workable and sustainable solution to the Greek debt crisis, reveals that his plan for Greece to take a 10-year "timeout" from the eurozone (in order to devalue its currency and save its economy) was met with fierce resistance from Brussels hard liners, and Angela Merkel herself.

Via FT… "Look where we're sitting!" says Wolfgang Schäuble, gesturing at the Berlin panorama stretching out beneath us. It is his crisp retort to those who say that Europe is a failure, condemned to a slow demise by its own internal contradictions. "Walk through the Reichstag, the graffiti left by the Red Army soldiers, the images of a destroyed Berlin. Until 1990 the Berlin Wall ran just below where we are now!" We are in Käfer, a restaurant on the rooftop of the Reichstag. The views are indeed stupendous: Berlin Cathedral and the TV Tower on Alexanderplatz loom through the mist. Both were once in communist East Berlin, cut off from where we are now by the wall. Now they're landmarks of a single, undivided city. "Without European integration, without this incredible story, we wouldn't have come close to this point," he says. "That's the crazy thing." As Angela Merkel's finance minister from 2009 to 2017, Schäuble was at the heart of efforts to steer the eurozone through a period of unprecedented turbulence. But at home he is most associated with Germany's postwar political journey, having not only negotiated the 1990 treaty unifying East and West Germany but also campaigned successfully for the capital to move from Bonn. For a man who has done so much to put Berlin — and the Reichstag — back on the world-historical map, it is hard to imagine a more fitting lunch venue. With its open-plan kitchen and grey formica tables edged in chrome, Käfer has a cool, functional aesthetic that is typical of the city. On the wall hangs a sketch by artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude, who famously wrapped the Reichstag in silver fabric in 1995. The restaurant has one other big advantage: it is easy to reach from Schäuble's office. Now 76, he has been confined to a wheelchair since he was shot in an assassination attempt in 1990, and mobility is an issue. Aides say he tends to avoid restaurants if he can, especially at lunchtime. As we take our places, we talk about Schäuble's old dream — that German reunification would be a harbinger of European unity, a step on the road to a United States of Europe. That seems hopelessly out of reach in these days of Brexit, the gilets jaunes in France, Lega and the Five Star Movement in Italy. Some blame Schäuble himself for that. He was, after all, the architect of austerity, a fiscal hawk whose policy prescriptions during the euro crisis caused untold hardship for millions of ordinary people, or so his critics say. He became a hate figure, especially in Greece. Posters in Athens in 2015 depicted him with a Hitler moustache below the words: "Wanted — for mass poverty and devastation". Schäuble rejects the criticism that austerity caused the rise of populism. "Higher spending doesn't lead to greater contentment," he says. The root cause lies in mass immigration, and the insecurities it has unleashed. "What European country doesn't have this problem?" he asks. "Even Sweden. The poster child of openness and the willingness to help." But what of the accusation that he didn't care enough about the suffering of the southern Europeans? Austerity divided the EU and spawned a real animus against Schäuble. I ask him how that makes him feel now. "Well I'm sad, because I played a part in all of that," he says, wistfully. "And I think about how we could have done it differently." I glance at the menu — simple German classics with a contemporary twist. I'm drawn to the starters, such as Oldenburg duck pâté and the Müritz smoked trout. But true to his somewhat abstemious reputation, Schäuble has no interest in these and zeroes in on the entrées. He chooses Käfer's signature veal meatballs, a Berlin classic. I go for the Arctic char and pumpkin. Schäuble switches seamlessly back to the eurozone crisis. The original mistake was in trying to create a common currency without a "common economic, employment and social policy" for all eurozone member states. The fathers of the euro had decided that if they waited for political union to happen first they'd wait forever, he says. Yet the prospects for greater political union are now worse than they have been in years. "The construction of the EU has proven to be questionable," he says. "We should have taken the bigger steps towards integration earlier on, and now, because we can't convince the member states to take them, they are unachievable." Greece was a particularly thorny problem. It should never have been admitted to the euro club in the first place, Schäuble says. But when its debt crisis first blew up, it should have taken a 10-year "timeout" from the eurozone — an idea he first floated with Giorgos Papakonstantinou, his Greek counterpart between 2009 and 2011. "I told him you need to be able to devalue your currency, you're not competitive," he says. The reforms required to repair the Greek economy were going to be "hard to achieve in a democracy". "That's why you need to leave the euro for a certain period. But everyone said there was no chance of that." The idea didn't go away, though. Schäuble pushed for a temporary "Grexit" in 2015, during another round of the debt crisis. But Merkel and the other EU heads of government nixed the idea. He now reveals he thought about resigning over the issue. "On the morning the decision was made, [Merkel] said to me: 'You'll carry on?' . . . But that was one of the instances where we were very close [to my stepping down]." It is an extraordinary revelation, one that highlights just how rocky his relationship with Merkel has been over the years. Schäuble has been at her side from the start, an éminence grise who has helped to resolve many of the periodic crises of her 13 years as chancellor. But it was never plain sailing. "There were a few really bad conflicts where she knew too that we were on the edge and I would have gone," he says. "I always had to weigh up whether to go along with things, even though I knew it was the wrong thing to do, as was the case with Greece, or whether I should go." But his sense of duty prevailed. "We didn't always agree — but I was always loyal." That might have been the case when he was a serving minister, but since becoming speaker of parliament in late 2017 he has increasingly distanced himself from Merkel. Last year, when she announced she would not seek re-election as leader of the Christian Democratic Union, the party that has governed Germany for 50 of the past 70 years, Schäuble openly backed a candidate described by the Berlin press as the "anti-Merkel". Friedrich Merz, a millionaire corporate lawyer who is the chairman of BlackRock Germany, had once led the CDU's parliamentary group but lost out to Merkel in a power struggle in 2002, quitting politics a few years later. He has long been seen as one of the chancellor's fiercest conservative critics — and is a good friend of Schäuble's. Ultimately, in a nail-biting election last December, Merkel's favoured candidate, Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, narrowly beat Merz. The woman universally known as "AKK" is in pole position to succeed Merkel as chancellor when her fourth and final term ends in 2021. I ask Schäuble if it's true that he had once again waged a battle against Merkel and once again lost. "I never went to war against Ms Merkel," he says. "Everybody says that if I'm for Merz then I'm against Merkel. Why is that so? That's nonsense." Liked it? Take a second to support The Duran on Patreon! Continue Reading Latest The conclusion of Russiagate, Part I – cold, hard reality The full text of Attorney General William P Barr's summary is here offered, with emphases on points for further analysis. Published 10 hours ago on March 25, 2019 By Seraphim Hanisch The conclusion of the Russiagate investigation, led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, was a pivotal media watershed moment. Even at the time of this writing there is a great deal of what might be called "journalistic froth" as opinion makers and analysts jostle to make their takes on this known to the world. Passions are running very high in both the Democrat / anti-Trump camps, where the reactions range from despondency to determined rage to not swallow the gigantic red pill that the "no collusion with Russia" determination offers. In the pro-Trump camp, the mood is deserved relief, but many who support the President are also realists, and they know this conflict is not over. Where the pivot will go and what all this means is something that will unfold, probably relatively quickly, over the next week or two. But we want to offer a starting point here from which to base further analysis. At this time, of course, there are few hard facts other than the fact that Robert Mueller III submitted his report to the US Attorney General, William Barr, who then wrote and released his own report to the public Sunday evening. We reproduce that report here in full, with some emphases added to points that we think will be relevant to forthcoming pieces on this topic. The end of the Mueller investigation brings concerns, hopes and fears to many people, on topics such as: Will President Trump now begin to normalize relations with President Putin at full speed? In what direction will the Democrats pivot to continue their attacks against the President? What does this finding to to the 2020 race? What does this finding do to the credibility of the United States' leadership establishment, both at home and abroad? What can we learn about our nation and culture from this investigation? How does a false narrative get maintained so easily for so long, and What do we do, or what CAN we do to prevent this being repeated? These questions and more will be addressed in forthcoming pieces. But for now, here is the full text of the letter written by Attorney General William Barr concerning the Russia collusion investigation. Dear Chairman Graham, Chairman Nadler, Ranking Member Feinstein, and Ranking Member Collins: As a supplement to the notification provided on Friday, March 22, 2019, I am writing today to advise you of the principal conclusions reached by Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller and to inform you about the status of my initial review of the report he has prepared. The Special Counsel's Report On Friday, the Special Counsel submitted to me a "confidential report explaining the prosecution or declination decisions" he has reached, as required by 28 C.F.R. § 600.8(c). This report is entitled "Report on the Investigation into Russian Interference in the 2016 Presidential Election." Although my review is ongoing, I believe that it is in the public interest to describe the report and to summarize the principal conclusions reached by the Special Counsel and the results of his investigation. The report explains that the Special Counsel and his staff thoroughly investigated allegations that members of the presidential campaign of Donald J. Trump, and others associated with it, conspired with the Russian government in its efforts to interfere in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, or sought to obstruct the related federal investigations. In the report, the Special Counsel noted that, in completing his investigation, he employed 19 lawyers who were assisted by a team of approximately 40 FBI agents, intelligence forensic accountants, and other professional staff. The Special Counsel issued more than 2,800 subpoenas, executed nearly 500 search warrants, obtained more than 230 orders for communication records, issued almost 50 orders authorizing use of pen registers, made 13 requests to foreign governments for evidence, and interviewed approximately 500 witnesses. The Special Counsel obtained a number of indictments and convictions of individuals and entities in connection with his investigation, all of which have been publicly disclosed. During the course of his investigation, the Special Counsel also referred several matters to other offices for further action. The report does not recommend any further indictments, nor did the Special Counsel obtain any sealed indictments that have yet to be made public. Below, I summarize the principal conclusions set out in the Special Counsel's report. Russian Interference in the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election. The Special Counsel's report is divided into two parts. The first describes the results of the Special Counsel's investigation into Russia's interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. The report outlines the Russian effort to influence the election and documents crimes committed by persons associated with the Russian government in connection with those efforts. The report further explains that a primary consideration for the Special Counsel's investigation was whether any Americans including individuals associated with the Trump campaign joined the Russian conspiracies to influence the election, which would be a federal crime. The Special Counsel's investigation did not find that the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia in its efforts to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election. As the report states: "[T]he investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities." The Special Counsel's investigation determined that there were two main Russian efforts to influence the 2016 election. The first involved attempts by a Russian organization, the Internet Research Agency (IRA), to conduct disinformation and social media operations in the United States designed to sow social discord, eventually with the aim of interfering with the election. As noted above, the Special Counsel did not find that any U.S. person or Trump campaign official or associate conspired or knowingly coordinated with the IRA in its efforts, although the Special Counsel brought criminal charges against a number of Russian nationals and entities in connection with these activities. The second element involved the Russian government's efforts to conduct computer hacking operations designed to gather and disseminate information to influence the election. The Special Counsel found that Russian government actors successfully hacked into computers and obtained emails from persons affiliated with the Clinton campaign and Democratic Party organizations, and publicly disseminated those materials through various intermediaries, including WikiLeaks. Based on these activities, the Special Counsel brought criminal charges against a number of Russian military officers for conspiring to hack into computers in the United States for purposes of influencing the election. But as noted above, the Special Counsel did not find that the Trump campaign, or anyone associated with it, conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in these efforts, despite multiple offers from Russian-affiliated individuals to assist the Trump campaign. Obstruction of Justice. The report's second part addresses a number of actions by the President most of which have been the subject of public reporting that the Special Counsel investigated as potentially raising obstruction-of-justice concerns. After making a "thorough factual investigation" into these matters, the Special Counsel considered whether to evaluate the conduct under Department standards governing prosecution and declination decisions but ultimately determined not to make a traditional prosecutorial judgment. The Special Counsel therefore did not draw a conclusion one way or the other as to whether the examined conduct constituted obstruction. Instead, for each of the relevant actions investigated, the report sets out evidence on both sides of the question and leaves unresolved what the Special Counsel views as "difficult issues" of law and fact concerning whether the President's actions and intent could be viewed as obstruction. The Special Counsel states that "while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him." The Special Counsel's decision to describe the facts of his obstruction investigation without reaching any legal conclusions leaves it to the Attorney General to determine whether the conduct described in the report constitutes a crime. Over the course of the investigation, the Special Counsel's office engaged in discussions with certain Department officials regarding many of the legal and factual matters at issue in the Special Counsel's obstruction investigation. After reviewing the Special Counsel's final report on these issues; consulting with Department officials, including the Office of Legal Counsel; and applying the principles of federal prosecution that guide our charging decisions, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and I have concluded that the evidence developed during the Special Counsel's investigation is not sufficient to establish that the President committed an obstruction-of-justice offense. Our determination was made without regard to, and is not based on, the constitutional considerations that surround the indictment and criminal prosecution of a sitting president. In making this determination, we noted that the Special Counsel recognized that "the evidence does not establish that the President was involved in an underlying crime related to Russian election interference," and that, while not determinative, the absence of such evidence bears upon the President's intent with respect to obstruction. Generally speaking, to obtain and sustain an obstruction conviction, the government would need to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a person, acting with corrupt intent, engaged in obstructive conduct with a sufficient nexus to a pending or contemplated proceeding. In cataloguing the President's actions, many of which took place in public view, the report identifies no actions that, in our judgment, constitute obstructive conduct, had a nexus to a pending or contemplated proceeding, and were done with corrupt intent, each of which, under the Department's principles of federal prosecution guiding charging decisions, would need to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt to establish an obstruction-of-justice offense. Status of the Department's Review The relevant regulations contemplate that the Special Counsel's report will be a "confidential report" to the Attorney General. See Office of Special Counsel, 64 Fed. Reg. 37,038, 37,040-41 (July 9, 1999). As I have previously stated, however, I am mindful of the public interest in this matter. For that reason, my goal and intent is to release as much of the Special Counsel's report as I can consistent with applicable law, regulations, and Departmental policies. Based on my discussions with the Special Counsel and my initial review, it is apparent that the report contains material that is or could be subject to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure which imposes restrictions on the use and disclosure of information relating to "matter[s] occurring before grand jury." Fed. R. Crim. P. 6(e)(2)(B) Rule 6(e) generally limits disclosure of certain grand jury information in a criminal investigation and prosecution. Id. Disclosure of 6(e) material beyond the strict limits set forth in the rule is a crime in certain circumstances. See, e.g. 18 U.S.C. 401(3). This restriction protects the integrity of grand jury proceedings and ensures that the unique and invaluable investigative powers of a grand jury are used strictly for their intended criminal justice function. Given these restrictions, the schedule for processing the report depends in part on how quickly the Department can identify the 6(e) material that by law cannot be made public. I have requested the assistance of the Special Counsel in identifying all 6(e) information contained in the report as quickly as possible. Separately, I also must identify any information that could impact other ongoing matters, including those that the Special Counsel has referred to other offices. As soon as that process is complete, I will be in a position to move forward expeditiously in determining what can be released in light of applicable law, regulations, and Departmental policies. * * * As I observed in my initial notification, the Special Counsel regulations provide that "the Attorney General may determine that public release of" notifications to your respective Committees "would be in the public interest." 28 C.F.R. § 600.9(c). I have so determined, and I will disclose this letter to the public after delivering it to you. Sincerely, William P. Barr Attorney General Liked it? Take a second to support The Duran on Patreon!

Published 13 hours ago on March 25, 2019 By Richard Galustian Humanity faces two imminent existential threats: environmental catastrophe and nuclear war. America has elected to completely ignore scientists warnings that we have 12 years to reverse an environmental disaster. As far as nuclear obliteration, Trump announced that the US is withdrawing from the INF treaty, which eliminated short range missiles deployed in Western Europe, on Russia's doorstep. It's the equivalent of Russia placing nuclear missiles in Venezuela. A provocation, which enables US supplied missiles to be launched, only a few minutes flight time to Moscow. That, of course sharply increases the nuclear danger. Historically on both sides, attack warnings given by automated systems have often proved faulty in the past; that, if enacted upon, would have meant the end of life as we know it. Anyone familiar with contemporary military history knows that it's a virtual miracle that we have so far avoided nuclear war. Politically within Europe, the attack on democracy is very clear. Unchallenged undemocratic institutions in Brussels exist that is, in the main, part of the problem of the UK BREXIT negotiations. Why does the public readily accept wars, engineered by our morally bankrupt governments to create 'regime change' in countries like Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, the Ukraine and soon to be Venezuela followed by Nicaragua and Iran, with such a muted outcry? That preemptive nuclear attacks are even thought of shows the insanity of Western leadership controlled by vested financial interests led by the Military/Security Industrial Complex and bankers. Those same interests created both 'industrialised' World Wars in the 20th Century. Our governments do not listen to the people. When two million hit the streets of London before the invasion of Iraq in 2003, it made not an iota of difference to Tony Blair's government. Today, people's apathy is notably caused by conditioning', maybe better described as we've been 'disciplined' by MSM propaganda and family's economic necessity to focus on their income, have made us so, due to our governments mismanagement of our economies. Example, our university students are saddled with impossible to repay debt for a reason; to keep future generations 'disciplined'. No one has time or dare show any dissent especially given the Orwellian 'newspeak' environment that is created by 'political correctness'. Back to the subject of Russia phobia. The Western narrative against Russia is, in the main, the below: * that Russia tried to murder the Skripals. Let the British government, who seem to be holding the Skripals against their will, prove they are not, by letting them be interviewed by the World's Press. * Ukraine – For over four years, the governments of NATO and the MSM have been waging the new cold war against Russia. This began with the 'Maidan' protests in Kyiv, Ukraine in early 2014 that culminated in the overthrow, universally acknowledged to have been engineered by the CIA, of Ukraine's elected president and Parliament in February 2014. Putting in power an ultra neo-Nazi government, that in particular voiced hatred against all things Russian…and Jewish. Which MSM, TV news or newspapers, says so? * That almost 100% of Crimea's population are glad and grateful to be part of Russia. US, UK and EU says that is untrue, which is nonsense. The demonisation of Russia is central to the multinational corporate interests that control our governments; the bankers protecting the steeply declining US Dollar, the institutions of the EU that are really controlled by Washington, who are preparing world public opinion to accept what the United States are now gearing up for, the "defence" of Europe. At this point let us reflect on history by quoting one of America's most distinguished soldiers, maybe of its entire history, General Smedley D. Butler, from his book 'War is a Racket: The Antiwar Classic by America's Most Decorated Soldier.' "No one told these American soldiers that they might be shot down by bullets made by their own brothers here. No one told them that the ships on which they were going to cross might be torpedoed by submarines built with US patents." It is recommended to read more about General Smedley Butler, as he was the man chosen by US bankers and particularly the Bush family in the 1930s, to be the new fascist leader of the USA by overthrowing, in a coup, the then President Roosevelt during the period of Hitler's rise to power. A coincidence one wonders. Butler was a true patriot; he bided his time then revealed the plot to both Congress and President Roosevelt. If you doubt this, it is suggested you research the subject. We can stop the consolidation of power of the global military/security industrial complex, its war party associates, and specifically the US, UK and EU deep state political and financial elite that no doubt exists. We must elect new leaders, it's that simple. To quote Noam Chomsky "….power is always illegitimate, unless it proves itself to be legitimate. So the burden of proof is always on those who claim that some authoritarian hierarchic government is legitimate. If they can't prove it, then it should be dismantled." Implicit in this statement is change by either elections or revolutions. The French people have shown us when enough is enough by their persistent resistance to their government.

EU Seal Product Trade Ban Takes Effect
2010 video footage confirms inherent cruelty of seal slaughter
MONTREAL (Aug.19, 2010)—Humane Society International/Canada applauds the European Union for its ban on trade in seal products from commercial hunts, which formally enters into force on Friday. Newly released video evidence of cruelty at the 2010 seal slaughter recorded by HSI Canada shows that commercial sealing remains inhumane and the EU ban is a necessary measure to protect European values.
"Given the inherent cruelty involved in commercial sealing, banning seal product trade was the only adequate measure the European Union could have taken," said Rebecca Aldworth, executive director of Humane Society International/Canada who has observed the hunt for 12 years. "Despite Canadian government claims that the seal hunt would be tightly regulated this year, we witnessed some of the worst cruelty we have ever seen at the 2010 seal slaughter. Baby seals died slowly and very painfully, and we recorded hundreds of apparent violations of Canadian law and conditions of sealing permits."
In the opening days of the commercial seal hunt off Newfoundland, only about 30 sealing vessels left port compared to more than 700 in recent years. HSI recorded consistent violations of the few, inadequate rules that exist to protect seals even though authorities were on site to monitor the killing. HSI Canada footage shows wounded baby seals crawling through their own blood for several minutes, crying out and clearly in agony, while sealers failed to end their misery as required by law. In many instances sealers failed to perform the mandatory test for unconsciousness before cutting open and skinning seals. Clubbed seals were sliced open and could be seen thrashing around alive on bloody boat decks amidst seal carcasses.
"I have reviewed Humane Society International's video evidence from the 2010 seal hunt, and I am appalled by the cruelty I witnessed," said Mary Richardson, DVM, a leading Canadian veterinary expert in humane slaughter methods. "These seals suffered visibly while sealers looked on and did nothing to end their misery. This kind of killing is a clear violation of Canada's animal protection laws, and shows that even with a high ratio of enforcement agents to sealing vessels, Canada's commercial seal hunt cannot be made humane."
As the EU market for seal products from commercial seal hunts disappears, and organizations throughout Asia initiate campaigns to end seal product trade, it is clear that there is no future in sealing. A 2010 Ipsos Reid poll shows that two-thirds of sealers in Newfoundland believe the industry will never recover from the historic low value it achieved in 2009. Notably, half of Newfoundland sealers holding an opinion support a federal sealing industry buyout—a plan in which the federal government would compensate sealers for lost income and invest in economic alternatives in communities involved. In recent weeks, Sen. Mac Harb has urged the Canadian government to work with stakeholders to transition sealers into more viable employment, and cease counterproductive political posturing on behalf of the sealing industry. B-roll from the 2010 hunt is available here, here and here. For stills, email the media contact.
- Dr. Mary Richardson is a past chair of the Animal Welfare Committee for the Ontario Veterinary Medical Association and the Animal Care Review Board for the Solicitor General of Ontario and board member of the Centre for the Study of Animal Welfare at the University of Guelph.
- Canada's seal slaughter targets defenseless baby seals. Canadian government kill reports show that 97 percent of the seals killed in recent years have been less than 3 months old, while most have been just 1 month old or less at the time of slaughter.
- Veterinary experts argue that Canada's commercial seal slaughter is inherently inhumane because of the extreme, uncontrolled environment in which the killing operates and the speed at which the killing must occur.
- Global markets for seal products are closing. Canada's two largest trading partners—the United States and the European Union—have both prohibited trade in seal products. Mexico and Croatia have also ended their trade in seal products, and animal protection groups the world over are urging more nations to follow suit.
- The Canadian sealing industry achieved record low economic returns in both 2009 and 2010. While the industry brought in roughly $1 million in each of these years, the Canadian government estimates the cost of enforcement at the slaughter to be up to $3.6 million annually. In addition, the Canadian government has invested millions of dollars in promoting the sealing industry internationally and working to block prohibitions on seal product trade.
- A boycott of Canadian seafood, that will continue until the seal slaughter ends for good, has already cost the Canadian economy many times the value of the sealing industry. More than 5,500 establishments and 650,000 people have pledged to avoid some or all Canadian seafood until the seal hunt ends for good. Recent polling conducted by Ipsos Reid shows that two-thirds of Newfoundland sealers holding an opinion are concerned about the impact of the boycott.

R is a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics (http://www.r-project.org/).
Install the r package available in the official repositories
Some external packages may require to be compile in Fortran as well, so installing the gcc-fortran can be a good idea
Initial configuration
Please refer to Initialization at Start of an R Session to get a detailed understanding of startup process.
The home directory of the
R installation is
usr/bin/R. Base packages are found in
usr/bin/R/library/base and site configuration files in
/etc/R/. Aspects of the Locale are accessed by the functions
Sys.getlocale and
Sys.localeconv within the
R session. Locales will be the one defined in your system.
To start a
R session, open your terminal and type this command:
- Use
Shift+ufor the command (some terminals use the
rletter to repeat the last entered command). Once in your
Rsession, the prompt will change to
- site refers to system-wide in R Documentation
help(startup) to read the documentation about system file configuration,
help() for the on-line help,
help.start() for the HTML browser interface to help,
demo() for some demos and
q() to close the session and quit.
When closing the session, you will be prompted :
Save workspace Image ?[y/n/c]. The workspace is your current working environment and include any user-defined objects, functions. The saved image is stored in
.RData format and will be automatically reloaded the next time
R is started. You can manually save the workspace at any time in the session with the
save.image(image.RData) command, save as many images as you want (eg : image1.RData, image2.RData). You can load image with the
load.iamge(image.RData) command at any time of your session.
- Tired of R's verbose startup message ? Then start
Rwith the
--quietcommand-line option.
$ R --quiet
You can
alias R ="R --quiet" in one of your Startup_files
- Unless explicitly defined somewhere in your configuration files,
Rwill start in your $HOME directory. If you want to start in a specific directory. first time you create the directory do this:
$ R > setwd(path/to/your/directory) > q() Save workspace image? [y/n/c]: y
R will create a .RData image file of your current environment. Then, when double-clicking this file,
R will automatically change its working directory to the file's directory.
R can be confusing when it comes to Environment Variables, as they are large and duplicated following the site or user sides. There are two sorts of files used in startup: environment files, defined by
$R_ENVIRON and profile files, defined by
Most important variables can be found on Environment Variables R Documentation].
At startup,
R search at early stage for site and user
.Renviron files to process for setting Environment_Variables. The site file is located in
/etc/R, and generated by configure.
The name of the user file can be specified by the
R_ENVIRON_USER Environment_Variables.
If you don't specify any file,
R will automatically read
.Renviron in your home directory if there is one. In case you want to use another emplacement for this file, append this line
export R_ENVIRON_USER ="path/to/.Renviron" in one of your Startup_files. This is the place to set all kind of environment variables using the R syntax.
R searches for the site-wilde
Rprofile.site defined by the
R_PROFILE Environment_Variables. This file does not exist after a fresh installation.
R seraches for user
R_PROFILE_USER. if unset, a file called
.Rprofile is searched for in the current directory, returned by the
R command
> getwd() or in the user's home directory. This is the place to put all your custom
R code.
Installing R packages
There are many add-on
R packages, which can be browsed on The R Website.. They can be installed from within
R using the
install.packages(pkgname) command.
R can install its packages locally as per user local settings or system wide.
Within your
R session, run this command to check that your user library exists and is set correctly:
> Sys.getenv("R_LIBS_USER")
[1] "/path/to/directory/R/packages"
Installation within your
R session is the safest way and won't conflict with the pacman package management, but there is another method to install packages. Run the following command in your terminal:
$ R CMD INSTALL -l $R_LIBS_USER pkg1 pkg2 ...
Upgrading R packages
> update.packages(ask=FALSE)
Or when you also need to rebuild packages which were built for an older version:
> update.packages(ask=FALSE,checkBuilt=TRUE)
Configuration files
The two user configuration files you want in your home folder are
.Renviron and
Rprofile.r. If you want to keep your
$HOME directory as clean as possible, a good practice will be to make the
~/.config/r directory, put the
Rprofile.r file at the root of the directory and append all your
R code in this file.
Here is a very basic
.Renviron you can start with:
"R_HOME_USER" = "/path/to/your/r/directory") "R_PROFILE_USER" = "${HOME}/.config/r/Rprofile.r") "R_LIBS_USER" = "/path/to/your/r/library") "R_HISTFILE" = "/path/to/your/filename.Rhistory") # Do not forget to append the .Rhistory
For convenient reasons, you can put a specific
Rprofile.r in each of your usual working directories. One facility would be to dedicate one directory per project, with its specific profile. When
R will change to the working directory, it will then read the
Rprofile.r file inside it.
Here is a very short list of useful options and code:
options(prompt = paste(paste (Sys.info () [c ("user", "nodename")], collapse = "@"),"[R] ")) # customize your R prompt with username and hostname in this format: user@hostname [R] options(digits = 4) # number of digits to print options(stringsAsFactors = FALSE) options(show.signif.stars = FALSE) error = quote(dump.frames("${R_HOME_USER}/testdump", TRUE)) # post-mortem debugiging facilities
You can add more global options to customize your
R environment.
Adding a graphical frontend to R
The linux version of R does not include a graphical user interface. However, third-party user interfaces for R are available, such as R commander and RKWard.
R Commander frontend
R Commander is a popular user interface to R. There is no Arch linux package available to install R commander, but it is an R package so it can be installed easily from within R. R Commander requires Tk:
# pacman -S tk
To install R Commander, run 'R' from the command line. Then type:
> install.packages("Rcmdr", dependencies=TRUE)
This can take some time.
You can then start R Commander from within R using the library command:
> library("Rcmdr")
RKWard frontend
RKWard is an open-source frontend which allows for data import and browsing as well as running common statistical tests and plots. You can install rkwardAUR from AUR.
Rstudio IDE
RStudio an open-source R IDE. It includes many modern conveniences such as parentheses matching, tab-completion, tool-tip help popups, and a spreadsheet-like data viewer.
Install rstudio-desktop-binAUR (binary version from the Rstudio project website) or rstudio-desktop-gitAUR (development version) from AUR.
The R library path is often configured with the R_LIBS environment variable. RStudio ignores this, so the user must set R_LIBS_USER in
~/.Renviron, as documented above.

Spring break snowboard trips; you know, guys, girls, the bus, lots of underage … stuff. These trips are great, you have a built in crew ready to get wild and everything is already mapped out for you. Just try to remember to go snowboarding-you didn't go all the way to Breck just to wake up at 4:00 p.m. in the bathtub with a wicked case of the "never-agains". Or maybe you did, and hey that's all right. All shenanigans aside, you'll make friends, you'll get rad, and maybe you won't remember any of it.-Evan LeFebvre

Any blogger will agree with me: There are a LOT of situations in which you think about writing a new post and, after some time, you realize that the article is not interesting enough to finally publish it. This happens to me everyday, and yesterday I reached the conclusion that I had to create a place to keep all this "small projects" together, and share them with the world (Ok, the vast majority of them are unlikely to be interesting, but this is better than leaving them unpublished)
With this in mind, yesterday I re-opened my Flickr account and I created a new set called "Tinkering Today…" in which I will try to upload one picture a day summarizing what I've spent my time in. So this is going to be quite strange because this Flickr set is more similar to a blog than this site, which I will keep for publishing finished projects. You can find the latest updates at the right of this page or the full set in the "Tinkering Today…" page of the blog.

"Branch dancing" is the improvisational yoga-like method that award-winning choreographer, six-time National Endowment for the Arts grant recipient and Mt. Airy resident Merián Soto developed and performs alone or with her troupe of professional dancers periodically in Wissahickon Park, rain, snow or shine.
"Wissahickon Reunion," her current production, is a revisiting of Soto's 2007-2008 One-Year Wissahickon Park Project (OYWPP) that featured one performance in the park each season. Dancers incorporate the landscape and use fallen branches during a sequence of slow movements as a way to connect to the environment, according to Soto.
"If the audience is willing to slow down [like the dancers], they are able to enter into a state of reflection and reverie," she said. "I think this opens a window for the audience to see nature in a different way."
Branch dancing is a meditative performance practice which involves moving into stillness, the investigation of gravity as essential force and the detailed sequencing of movement through inner pathways, Soto writes on her website.
"It looks really simple," she said. "But it takes a lot of concentration and training to move that intricately."
Soto, who requested that her age not be mentioned, moved to the U.S. in her 20s from Puerto Rico in the late 1970s to study dance at New York University and earned a master's degree in dance education from Columbia University in 1985. She said it was her attempt to become invisible, at least in a symbolic sense, when she was walking through the park that contributed to her idea to use a branch in a performing arts capacity.
A little more than five years after she moved to Philadelphia, in 1999, to teach dance at the Boyer College of Music and Dance at Temple University, Soto realized how close she lived to the Wissahickon. She began frequenting the valley, but on trips when she was alone she longed for more safety. Fallen branches would come to serve the purpose.
"The dance of the future is levitation," she was once told during a conversation by an 80-year-old poet who mentored her husband, Gabriel Osorio-Soto.
Though a bit nonsensical, the thought stayed with Soto. She started to wonder what her husband's mentor was talking about, and "it inspired this quest find out what that [was]."
She began to further investigate the energy of her body, something she was familiar with from her dancing background. As it came to pass, one day as she walked through the park she decided to pick up a branch.
"Maybe I can make myself invisible," she said. "These ideas got me into sensing gravity and being part of the environment."
For Soto, to become invisible is better understood as becoming one with the environment, thus making herself but a camouflaged texture of the landscape that blends in as much as a leaf, a concept familiar in traditional Eastern spiritual contexts like Buddhism. A core principle of mediation is being ever-present in your surroundings. Advocates contend that deep, slow breathing can help one become more aware of his/her surroundings.
The dancers in "Wissahickon Reunion" are taught by Soto to "move into stillness," or perhaps more simply, "really, really slow." Imagine tai chi in the form of improvisational dance but even slower.
"It's all about touch and body and mind," she explained. Each movement is a response to the previous movement, the slightest shift in weight. It leads to a meditative state, and a shift of consciousness begins to develop at levels of intense concentration.
Dancers Beau Hancock, Shavon Norris, Jumatatu Poe, Olive Prince, Marion Ramírez and acclaimed musician Harold Smith performed the first production of this season on Sunday, Oct. 23, at Bluebell Meadow. The next performance will take place Sunday, Jan. 15.
While teaching and performing in New York, in 1983 Soto helped to found Pepatián, a Bronx-based artists' collective that supports Latino artists. She has created and presented works and performed around the world. She has been the recipient of an Artist Fellowship by New York Foundation for the Arts, as well as other grants from institutions like the Rockefeller Foundation and the New England Foundation for the Arts. In 2000, Soto received a New York Dance and Performance Award, a "Bessie," and in 2008 she received the Greater Philadelphia Dance and Physical Theater Award "ROCKY" for the OYWPP.
Soto, a mother of two sons, one college-aged and one in high-school, lives with her husband and younger son. She said she began dancing when she was two. For more than 30 years she has practiced prana yoga, a branch of yoga that focuses strongly on deep breathing. That, running and walking over the years and eating a healthy diet have helped her maintain a physical condition that has allowed her to dance for more than five decades.
"It takes a lot of effort," she said.

Canada blanks Sweden at Worlds
Stockholm, Sweden – Mike Smith made 33 saves as Canada blanked host Sweden by a 3-0 margin on Thursday at the World Hockey Championship.
Steven Stamkos, Luke Schenn and Jordan Staal scored for Canada, which jumped over Sweden into second place in Group S with the victory.
In other Group S play, the Czech Republic pulled out a 2-1 shootout win against Denmark.
Damien Fleury and Antoine Roussel scored to back the 28-save effort of Florian Hardy, as France pulled off one of the biggest upsets in World Hockey Championship history with a 2-1 victory over Russia.
The French beat the Russians for the first time in six all-time meetings. It was Russia's first loss of the 2013 tournament and ended the defending champs' 13-game event winning streak.
Russia was coming off a 5-3 win over the United States on Tuesday and remains tied with the Americans for first place in Group H. Alexander Perezhogin scored the lone goal for the Russians, while Vasili Koshechkin made 17 saves in defeat.
Perezhogin put the Russians on top at 6:57 of the second period, but Fleury tied it just under three minutes later. Roussel gave the French the lead with 3:12 remaining in the second and Hardy made it stand up by stopping all 11 Russian shots he faced in the third.
Also in Group H action, Latvia defeated Slovakia by a 5-3 score.

Halos exercise patience with free-agent market
ANAHEIM -- This is a very different offseason for the Angels, for one major reason: Prudence.
Unlike two years ago, when the $240 million Albert Pujols contract left them with no money to spend on a thin bullpen, or one year ago, when the $125 million Josh Hamilton splurge handcuffed their ability to add starting pitching, the Angels -- for better or worse -- seem determined to stay flexible and not get cajoled into contracts they're uncomfortable with this winter.
ANAHEIM -- This is a very different offseason for the Angels, for one major reason: Prudence.
Unlike two years ago, when the $240 million Albert Pujols contract left them with no money to spend on a thin bullpen, or one year ago, when the $125 million Josh Hamilton splurge handcuffed their ability to add starting pitching, the Angels -- for better or worse -- seem determined to stay flexible and not get cajoled into contracts they're uncomfortable with this winter.
Further evidence of that came Thursday, when starting pitcher Matt Garza -- a player the Angels targeted since November -- appeared to have slipped from their grasp by nearing agreement on a reported four-year, $52 million contract with the Brewers.
Four guaranteed years with an average annual value of $13 million is a relatively fair market price for the 30-year-old Garza, who has averaged 10 wins with a 3.76 ERA over the last six years and isn't tied to Draft-pick compensation. And had the money been equal, indications are that Garza, a California guy, would've preferred the Angels.
But the AAV would've pushed the Angels right up against the $189 million luxury-tax threshold, and four years for a guy who has been on the disabled list each of the last three seasons with arm injuries might have made them a little skittish. So, the Angels, begrudgingly, turned away.
If nothing else, it's consistent with how they've gone about their entire offseason.
The Angels wanted to re-sign Jason Vargas, but wouldn't give him four guaranteed years and watched him sign a four-year, $32 million contract with the Royals.
They liked Masahiro Tanaka, but given the certainty that his contract would exceed $100 million -- ultimately $155 million over seven years, courtesy of the Yankees -- they didn't even bother to meet with him.
So, what's next?
Patience -- more of it.
The Angels' projected starting rotation currently consists of Jered Weaver, C.J. Wilson, Garrett Richards, Hector Santiago and Tyler Skaggs, the latter two acquired in exchange for Mark Trumbo, putting them in a situation where they don't feel they need to add starting pitching. Joe Blanton (if not released), Mark Mulder (if he accepts a Minor League assignment), Wade LeBlanc and Matt Shoemaker currently make up their starting-pitching depth, an area they'll look to shore up in the coming weeks.
The Angels still aren't expected to give up their 15th overall Draft pick to sign Ubaldo Jimenez or Ervin Santana, and it seems very unlikely that A.J. Burnett would want to pitch on the West Coast -- or pitch at all -- in 2014.
So, in the three weeks leading up to pitchers and catchers reporting, the Angels will seek a bargain from the lower tier of free-agent starters or, perhaps, do nothing at all, holding onto their remaining funds in hopes of potentially adding a starting pitcher in-season.
"We're keeping an eye on the pitchers on the market that we feel like make sense for us, and maintaining a rhetoric with those guys," Angels general manager Jerry Dipoto said Wednesday. "If opportunity knocks, we'll be there, and if it doesn't, we're very happy moving forward with the group we have."
Below is a look at five free-agent starters who may still be options for the Angels, provided that Garza's deal with the Brewers ultimately gets finalized:
Bronson Arroyo: He's 36 but durable, averaging 207 innings since 2004 and never once going on the DL. During that 10-year span, Arroyo has posted a 4.10 ERA, a 1.27 WHIP and a 2.54 strikeout-to-walk ratio. He gives up a lot of homers (a Major League-leading 252 since '06) and doesn't strike out a lot of batters (5.8 per nine in his career), but his numbers have been very respectable in a tough pitcher's park like Cincinnati's Great American Ball Park. The Dodgers' reported interest may price him away from the Angels, though.
Jason Hammel: The 31-year-old right-hander may make sense on an incentive-laden contract. Hammel missed seven weeks with a flexor strain in his pitching elbow last season with the Orioles, and finished with a 4.97 ERA, a 1.46 WHIP and a 2.0 strikeout-to-walk ratio. But his average fastball velocity was 92.7 mph in 2013 and he had a solid 2012, posting a 3.43 ERA in 20 starts despite knee surgery.
Chris Capuano: The 35-year-old lefty spent 40 days on the disabled list with groin and left shoulder injuries in 2013, finishing his Dodgers season with a 4.26 ERA, a career-high 10.6 hits per nine innings, the lowest strikeout rate since his shortened rookie season (6.9) and a lost September. Strangely, though, the Tommy John product's average fastball velocity was the highest of his career, jumping from 86.7 mph to 88.4 mph from one year to the next.
Paul Maholm: He doesn't strike out many people (5.8 per nine innings in his career) and doesn't throw very hard (average fastball velocity of 87.5 mph in 2013), but the 31-year-old left-hander gets a lot of ground balls. He has a career ground-ball percentage of .521 and has been pretty durable, averaging 181 innings per season since 2006. With the Braves last year, Maholm was limited to 153 innings with a wrist sprain and elbow inflammation. His ERA jumped to 4.41 and he was replaced by Freddy Garcia for the playoffs. The Cubs and Rangers have been linked.
Scott Baker: The 32-year-old right-hander had a 3.98 ERA with the Twins from 2007-11, then spent 15 months recovering from Tommy John surgery -- from April 2012 to July 2013 -- and was missing a couple ticks off his fastball upon returning. He posted a 5.46 ERA in eight rehab starts in the Cubs' system, then a 3.60 ERA in three Major League starts in September. The Mariners and Indians have been deemed as heavy favorites, probably for an incentive-laden deal.

Darkir needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 239 designs submitted by 52 freelance designers.
Irish Carbon Control
We are 2 guys with a passion for the environment and have set up a marketing agency focusing on environmental issues.
Our first label is the 'Irish Carbon Control' label. This label will be offered to companies adhering to the strict regulations of monitoring and controlling greenhouse gas emissions.
Our target audience are companies who wish to improve their selling potential by informing customers that they are adhering to the strict carbon emission regulations. This is done by displaying the Irish Carbon Control label on their products, literature and websites which customers will be familiar with through marketing.
The logo should incorporate the words 'Irish Carbon Control'. It must be relatively simple, easily read, professional and eye catching but not too loud as it will be placed on client's products, literature and websites.
We don't want too many colours, maybe 3 tops, and please take into consideration that at times it might be printed on 2 colour packaging and when this is the case the logo must still make sense.
The logo should relate to green houses gases, carbon emissions and it would be nice if it had a reference to Ireland but without being tacky or corny.
A lot of logos in the carbon emissions area relate to feet - we would like to break away from this but if somebody comes up with something really cool and different to the rest we would definetly consider it.

eish avait besoin d'un nouveau design de logo et a lancé un concours sur 99designs.
Un gagnant a été sélectionné de 108 designs proposés par 31 designers freelance.
' Ready Shed ' and company slogan ' Ready Sheddy Go!'
We are a 'start up' business that will specialize in hiring site sheds for construction sites or to anyone who may need a temporary accommodation for a limited time span. It may not sound sexy but we believe the current way of selling or renting site sheds is old fashioned and visually boring. We want to challenge people's perception of who uses a site shed, why you use it and maybe use a little humour in the marketing approach (maybe). We have settled upon 'Ready Shed' as our name and 'Ready Sheddy Go!' as our slogan which has been warmly received during our market research of the name. Both the logo and name will be printed on the site shed so it will be pretty prominent to passing vehicles/pedestrians who will see it. The site sheds will act like a mini bill board for our business whilst simultaneously providing an income from a renter. At the end of the day we are selling/renting converted containers. There is not a great deal of 'eye candy' in a container so it is so important to get the logo right. We believe that the combined logo and slogan is a killer and we are excited to see what designers can do with it.
We mainly focus on existing markets - any type of construction company from one man builders to large multi-nationals.We provide meeting rooms, storage sheds, site offices, toilet sheds, sleeping quarters etc. The concept is - easy delivery, affordable, impressive quality and easy to remove when the project is over. Whilst we are focused on the construction industry we don't want to be too myopic and stereotypical about the type of people we are trying to attract. We want to think 'outside the box' - no pun intended.
Think about it.
Our Challenge - Change a boring container office into a product that people will remember and request in the future. Make the product (container) more memorable than an ugly site office.
Tools - External colour (example Gunmetal Grey) and Clever Branding

The Ferrari 456 GT symbolizes the return of the front-engine concept. To put things into perspective, the most recent Ferrari-produced, front-engine car is the GTB4, produced in 1968. An all-new, 65 degree V-12 engine powers the car, offering flexibility and power.
The Ferrari 456 GT is a front-engine, four-seat grand tourer that the carmaker produced from 1992 to 2003. Pininfarina designed it to replace the Ferrari 412, which stopped production three years before, in 1989. The 456 GT is also the last model that uses pop-up headlamps.
A Ferrari car is considered to be the epitome of advanced technology, and the Ferrari 456 GT is no exception. However, what makes this car so special when compared to other Ferraris is that it marks a significant change in the approach of the carmaker. Ferrari cars are often known for their flamboyance and luxury, and this dominated the company's car concept well into the 1980s. The Ferrari 456 GT replaces extravagance with balance and refinement, thus marking a new approach for Ferrari. In other words, the Ferrari 456 GT introduces a new style that changes the way cars are made.
Some of the most iconic Ferraris are front-engine design Berlinettas, with the last being the Daytona from the early 1970s. After a long gap, the Ferrari 456 GT continued Ferrari's tradition beautifully.
Ferrari produced the 456 GT until 2003. The car is designed on an aluminum coachwork that chemically joins to the steel tube chassis, and it uses a 5474cc V-12 engine that delivers 442 horsepower. The American version can deliver 436 horsepower. The car reaches a top speed of 185 mph, and it accelerates from zero to 62 mph in 5.2 seconds. The engine is the first completely new entry to the Ferrari stable since the introduction of the Boxer unit 20 years earlier. The engine has an angle of 65 degrees, which differs from the traditional 60 degrees of the previous V-12 engines and 120 degrees of the Boxer engines.
In terms of design, the Ferrari 456 GT is a modern variant of Ferrari's 365 GTB Daytona, with its trademark long hood and retractable headlights. Pininfarina designed the car to be highly aerodynamic and modern, but it also retains some retro elements that reflect Ferrari's rich history. An almost unnoticeable aerodynamic element is the spoiler that can be automatically activated from below in the rear valance. The angle of the spoiler also changes automatically, according to the speed of the car, to improve downforce.
The body of the car mounts on a chassis with a wheelbase of 2600 mm, the rear track measuring 1606 mm and the front track measuring 1585 mm. The buyer can choose whether to buy a left-hand or right-hand drive model with standard power steering. While a major portion of the body is aluminum, the frame itself is made of steel, with a special binding material known as Feran. This material is chemically treated to weld the steel frame to the aluminum chassis. The front and rear valances, however, are made from composite moulds.
The interior of the Ferrari 456 GT also lives up to the carmaker's standards. It includes leather-clad seats, along with electronically adjustable front seats that move forward to allow access to the rear. The rear seats offer adequate legroom as well as enough headroom for most people.
The Ferrari 456 GT remained largely unchanged throughout production, until 2003. However, it underwent minor changes in 1996. Let's begin by looking at the first version of the Ferrari 456 GT.
The 1992 Ferrari 456 GT made its first appearance in Paris at the Garage Francorchamps anniversary celebration. It is designed as a world market model, with the most important one being the USA market model. The Ferrari 456 GT differs from preceding 2+2 cars in that it only comes with a manual transmission. The transmission is mounted in a differential and final drive assembly unit, which forms the transaxle.
The 1996 version of the Ferrari 456 GT introduces an automatic transmission to the car. The car is more specifically titled the Ferrari 456 GT Automatic or Ferrari 456 GTA. Ferrari was always interested in making a good automatic version of the 456 GT that did not have any of the flaws that plagued high-performance engines.
1995 Ferrari 456 GT

The 1995 Ferrari 456 GT first appearing in 1992 as a long-awaited replacement for 412.

Superman and Nerd Girl move on
It's been a month since Henry Cavill and Kaley Cuoco hooked up and took the paps to the grocery story – click here for a refresher. It's been 3 weeks since Henry Cavill and Kaley Cuoco broke up because…
A. Everyone called them on their bullsh-t
B. Henry Cavill couldn't handle the pressure
C. They realised they had nothing to talk about
D. All of the above
Cavill is back in London. He hit up the same club two nights in a row. The identity of his female companion is unknown. All I know is that it's not Gina Carano which means I don't care. I do care however that she was at Comic-Con – per her Twitter – but no one bothered to take official pictures. What the f-ck? Cavill was at Comic-Con too. I suppose it's easy to avoid an ex in a convention hall full of geeks.
As for Kaley Cuoco, she too has moved on. Here she is on Saturday arm in arm with tennis player Ryan Sweeting.

On the heels of Andy Dalton's epic stinker against the Browns, the Bengals aren't giving up on their embattled franchise quarterback.ReplyDelete
Offensive coordinator Hue Jackson on Friday accepted plenty of blame for a performance that saw Dalton tie a career low in completions (10) and suffer his worst outing in terms of completion percentage (30.3) and passer rating (2.0).
"I'm joined at the hip with him. I understand that's the way it goes," said Jackson, per ESPN.com's Coley Harvey. "I have not run from that. As he gets killed, I get killed. That's the way it goes. That's part of the business.
"But I don't want us to think we're going to cheap sale jerseys have an issue with Andy. We're not. We're going to coach Andy. We're going to help Andy get to where he needs to wholesale jerseys shop be. That's my job. We're going to coach him, continue to get him better, NFL Jerseys continue to grow."
Jackson has guided a laundry list of NFL Nike Roshe Run quarterbacks, but he Nike Free Run didn't need to dig deep to find the best example of a passer bouncing back from a disastrous start.
"The example's him," said Jackson, pointing to Dalton's solid outings in Week 8 and Week 9 after a messy showing in Cincy's 27-0 loss to the Colts in Week 7.
We don't doubt that Dalton will correct some of the flaws that NFL Jerseys Store plagued him against the Browns, but Bengals new nike nfl jerseys fans can't be blamed for feeling a wave of unease over the play of their franchise quarterback.
Instead of making the leap some Nike Air Max 90 predicted under Jackson, it's more of the same from a signal-caller known for turning out his ugliest handiwork when the spotlight burns brightest.

George's weekend with the Guys & The Italian Queen
Elisabetta Canalis's Twitter account appears to have been shut down. Oh he finally stepped in, did he? It's too bad, really. Because the Iggy Pop/Jennifer Aniston reference was the best. And I would have loved if she could have kept her balls and continued to make that sh-t happen. Only Ely is trying to work in America now. And there's no working in America right off the get if you piss on the MiniVan Majority's favourite best friend. More importantly, George Clooney can't afford to cut those bitches off either. So Ely is no longer tweeting.
Instead, it's back to dinner, holding hands, and double date bike rides. Here they are leaving Ago on Friday night (she looks SO Grimaldi in these photos) and on Saturday hooking up with Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber. On Saturday night George was at Spike TV Guys Choice, receiving a penis prize, specifics are unimportant, from Sam Jackson and hanging out with Kid Rock backstage.

Newtown chef to debut on TV
Whether you are a "foodie" or not, you may want to tune in to ABC's new cooking show, "The Taste," on Tuesday to sample Newtown's Chef Plum in his TV debut.
The two-hour premier stars food celebrities Anthony Bourdain and Nigella Lawson, author Ludo Lefebvre and restaurateur Brian Malarkey.
"It was life-changing," said Plum, also known as Kristopher Plummer, adding he has always wanted to be on TV but thought it unattainable.
"I can't say much because the nondisclosure agreements we signed are extensive, detailed and specific.
"But I can say that it was fun, the people were great and it's an eye-opening experience to be on TV."
The show's competitors are judged by a spoonful of food they create, making it something of a blind taste test.
At the end of each episode in the eight-week series -- all of which are already filmed -- the judges taste and eliminate competitors based on the one spoonful, without knowing whose creation they are sampling or who they are eliminating.
Plum is a private/personal chef and caterer whose personality, smile, 6-foot, 2-inch height and "faux-hawk" hairstyle might cause him to stand out in the crowd.
He was one of 58 finalists of thousands who auditioned, starting in July.
His road seemed gilded from the start. The father of three saw a daytime commercial about an open call for the show and went online to fill out the questionnaire. He said his responses opened the door.
Three days later he received a call for a private interview in New York City. "It went over well," he said. "I was trying to make them laugh, and I guess I did."
He produced a video for ABC, and as the coast-to-coast open calls continued Plum remained in the running. By August, they group had been culled to 80, and then in September to 58 who were flown to Los Angeles.
The contestants were from all walks of life, from professional chefs and "lifelong kitchen soldiers," in Plum's words, to home cooks who included yoga instructors, writers and investment bankers.
Plum, 34, a native of Richmond, Va., has been in the restaurant business since he was 15.
That's when he started working at Taco Bell to help his mother, a widow, support their household. He soon discovered food was his passion.
Although he started college at Virginia Commonwealth University as a music/theater major, he eventually landed at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, N.Y.
"The CIA was the hardest thing I ever did in my life," he said. "It was like boot camp."
Interning at the five-star Jefferson Hotel in Richmond, Va., followed, then in 2006 he and his wife, Kelly, moved to Newtown.
Now his clients include actors and other New York City celebrities, but he said his true interest is in nutritional cooking and inspiring kids to get in the kitchen.
Peter and Patty Walrath, of Brookfield, said they were hardly surprised that their son-in-law had made it onto the show.
"He is a great guy, works hard, and is passionate about everything he pursues," said his mother-in-law.
"He has a great personality for TV and is very appealing to people. He's a great son-in-law, and we are excited for him."
During "The Taste," each celebrity chef coaches a team of four. In Plum's opinion, the celebrities are each looking for something special, whether it is creativity, skill or flavors.
The competitors are given a limited amount of time and money to produce their "spoonful."
The stakes are high: The winner gets a grand prize of $100,000 and a car.
Contrary to what people may expect from Bourdain's cable TV image, Plum said he was "extremely cool and super nice."
Don't expect any bad language, either. "He's a pro, and this was network TV," the Newtown chef said.
Plum himself has not seen the final product, but, of course, he knows who wins.
Was it hard to keep the secret? "Yes, extremely. All I could say was that I was doing a show in L.A."
What's next for Plum? Watch "The Taste" at 8 p.m. to see. Locally, look for a Plum pop-up restaurant (a one-night dinner opportunity) in Newtown next month.
Also, find Plum on Twitter @chef_plum, his website www.plumluvfoods.com and YouTube http://www.youtube.com/user/plumluvfoods.
