  • Mazda – Iceland Drive
    20ºW Arctic Circle Akureyri Reykjavík Eglisstadir Höfn Vik WELCOME TO THE LAND OF ICE AND FIRE Main active volcanoes since settlement (AD 874). ALL-NEW MX-5 AND MX-5 ICON SPECIAL EDITION: ICELAND DRIVE In celebration of the sheer driving pleasure offered by the all-new MX-5 and MX-5 Icon special edition, ahead of you lies more than 800 miles of exhilarating and captivating road trip through the stunning, often stark, occasionally tempestuous and always breathtaking Icelandic landscape. WELCOME TO THE LAND OF FIRE AND ICE ALL-NEW MAZDA MX-5 With a superior power to weight ratio, rear-wheel drive, perfect 50:50 weight distribution and more comfort and technology than ever before, the all-new Mazda MX-5 is pure roadster. Offered with a choice of two SKYACTIV-G petrol engines it comes with generous standard equipment and new levels of safety technology. The all-new Mazda MX-5 has reaffirmed Mazda’s dominance of the affordable sports car sector. Maintaining the driver-focused ethos that has made it the world’s bestselling two-seater sports car of all time, the latest MX-5 was conceived and developed under the concept of ‘innovate in order to preserve’. This engineering philosophy has allowed Mazda to maintain the agility, fun and engagement that has always defined the MX-5, while at the same time meeting ever-increasing safety and efficiency requirements, alongside improved refinement. The lightest MX-5 since the iconic original, the all-new Mazda MX-5 is shorter, lower and wider than the outgoing car, with the smallest overhangs and lowest centre of gravity yet.

Jasna Šimić Osijek, 2017. Sažetak Rad se bavi nastankom i razvojem fantastičnih bića Starog vijeka te njihovim pojavljivanjem u popularnoj kulturi. Mitologija je skup svetih priča koje služe kao objašnjenje sustava vjerovanja i kulture u društvima diljem svijeta. Mitovi opisuju kulturna vjerovanja o djelima nadnaravnih bića da stvore Zemlju i sve aspekte prirode. Legende su moralno ili politički korisne priče i često su o normalnim ljudima. Narodne priče dio su fikcije i u njima su prisutni općenitiji tipovi likova poput siročadi, princeza i kraljeva.Važno je razlikovanje između mitološke i stvarne geografije. Bića Starog vijeka mnogobrojna su, a brojne su i njihove podjele. Čudovišta su ona stvorenja koja su personifikacija razorne snage prirode te stvorenja iz skupina drakaina i demona. U raznim mitologijama opisuju se bića koja mogu mijenjati oblik poput vukodlaka. Nadalje, svi narodi Starog vijeka vjerovali su da su oko njih nevidljiva stvorenja i energija u obliku raznih bića kojima se treba udovoljiti da im život bude bolji.

  • Liberated Punks Accelerate China’S Musical Evolution
    About blogs Just another WordPress weblog Liberated Punks Accelerate China’s Musical Evolution From Pigface and Ministry to PiL and Killing Joke, drummer Martin Atkins has pounded the skins for some very loud punks. But he didn't realize that China's underground sound would throw him into a time machine and dial it back to the '70s and '80s, when bands were pushing the envelope on conventional rock and not really caring how you felt about it. Atkins shot 80 hours of video from his 2006 trip into Asia's 21st century powerhouse, and chopped it down into the recently released documentary Sixteen Days in China . Listening Post caught up with him to talk about China's greatest bands you've never heard and more. Wired.com: How did your experiences with Ministry and your other bands match up to the scene you witnessed in China? Martin Atkins: I think time and location has more relevance, like London in 1977, New York in 1980 or maybe Chicago 1989. These were cities that had exploding scenes that I managed to be a small part of. Add to that some entrepreneurial what-the-fuck-ness, and there you go! The backdrop is different, but the immersion, the focus on just the music and attitude feels like a definite ripple from those times. It doesn't feel strategized in a careerist way. The guys in D-22, who now have a label called Maybe Mars, and their venue reminded me of the vibe of CBGB's. While I was over there, I saw the club on CNN, and that rang a bell for me.

I was enjoying Friday night trips to Whitefriars Ale House in Coventry with their ever changing selection of guest ales. However I could never really remember which beers or breweries I’d enjoyed most a few months later. The nearby Inspire Café Bar provided a different challenge with its range of European beers that were often only differentiated by their number – was it the 6, 8 or 10 that I liked? So I started to make notes on the beers to improve my powers of selection. Now, over three years on, that simple list has grown into the book you hold. As well as straightforward likes and dislikes, the book contains what I have learnt about the many styles of beer and the history of brewing in countries across the world. It reflects the diverse beers that are being produced today and the differing attitudes to it.
