1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a method of forming a wound core by helically winding a core element and an apparatus used for forming the same. The wound core is used, for example, as a stator of an AC generator for an automobile.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Heretofore, it has been known that a band steel sheet such as a silicon steel sheet which has slots in one side to form a core element can be wound in a helex by continuously engaging with the slots of the core element a plurality of equally spaced pins arranged in a circle and feeding the core element through an arcuate passage which has a width slightly smaller than the width of the core element, elongating the core element at the opposite side to the slots and compressing it in the axial direction.
However, the side of the core element opposite to the slots is elongated, making the core element to be thinner in the step of forming the sheet into an arcuate shape because the core element is compressed while it is passed through the arcuate passage. Accordingly, when the core element is wound a gap is formed at the outer peripheral part of the wound core and the wound core is deformed in the assembly whereby the wound wire is damaged.
Moreover, the side of the core element opposite to the slots is elongated making its thickness nonuniform. Accordingly, in winding the core element, the pitches of the slots are not uniform and the operation for adjusting the slot pitches with high accuracy has been very difficult.
A general object of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned disadvantage of the wound core.
The foregoing and other objects of the present invention have been attained by providing a method of forming a wound core by forming a core element having slots for inserting a wire and teeth with equal spaces in one side of a band steel sheet; and helically winding the core element by engaging pins and applying a local force at the part of the core element from the slots to the opposite side to deform the core element into a multi-angle structure.
The apparatus of the present invention is provided to wind the core element by engaging the slots with a plurality of pins having a diameter being smaller than a longitudinal length of the slot and which are moved in circular path subject to a reciprocating motion.
Various objects features and attendant advantages of the present invention will be more fully appreciated as the same becomes better understood from the following detailed description of the present invention when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals designate identical or corresponding parts throughout the several views.

In FIGS. 12 and 13, the reference 40 designate a first part of the wound core and 41 designates the last part of the wound core and 42 designates a compressed deformed part.
The operation for helically winding the core element 2 will be illustrated. Thirty six pins 19 which are sequentially engaged in the slots 3 of the core element 2, are rotated while undergoing a reciprocating motion. In the operation for winding the core element 2 by the pins 19, the success of the practical operation is dependent upon whether the shanks 22 of the pins 19 can be engaged in the slots 3 of the core element 2 to produce the required normal motion or not.
The important factor is the size of the shanks 22 of the thirty six pins 19. The size of the shanks 22 is decided as follows with reference to FIGS. 14 and 15.
The diameter of the inscribed circle in the slot 3 of the core element 2 is given as d0 and the diameter of the shank 22 is given as d1 which is about 70% of the inscribed circle d0.
As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the tip of the shank 22 is beveled to have a trapezoidal so as to contact the pin 19b with the next slot 3 of the core element 2 at the position Y initiating the engagement of a pin 19a which is in front of the pin 19b at the position X where the core element 2 is bent by the pin 19. (The condition will be described below).
Incidentally, when the pin 19 is engaged with the slot 3 before completing the bending of the core element 2, (the condition in FIG. 14), it is necessary to give the same curvature from the initiation of the insertion of the core element 2 in the normal condition, and it is necessary to decide the position with high accuracy. Pitch error in punching out the steel sheet 1 and fluctuation in the thickness of the steel sheet are not allowed.
The practical curvature of the circle is varied by the fluctuation of the pitches and the thickness of the steel sheet, whereby the shanks 22 of the pins 19 are contacted with the teeth 4 and the engagement can not be attained and the normal operation can not be attained.
In accordance with the embodiment of the present invention, the core element 2 can be linearly fed on the tangential line of the circle on which the pins 19 are arranged and the above-mentioned trouble is not caused. Thus, the size of the shanks 22 of the pins 19 is d1. Accordingly, when the shank 22 is completely engaged in the slot 3 of the core element 2, (FIG. 15), the center of the key 32 engaged in the opening of the slot 3 is displaced degrees from the center of the shank 22. As the result, the core element 2 is bent against the restoring force which is the reaction force caused by the elastic deformation, and the expansion of the wound core can be prevented.
The locus of the center of the pin 19 can be selected as desired by providing a small diameter d1 of the shank 22. Thus, when the locus of the circle is too small, the bending of the teeth 4 of the core element 2 is too large, whereby the pin 19 is shifted in the radial direction and the core element 2 cannot be smoothly wound. Accordingly, it has been confirmed that the locus of the shank 22 of the pin 19 is preferably the same as the locus of the center of the inscribed circle d0.
Thus, when the rotary means 15 is rotated and the mandrel 30 is simultaneously rotated, thirty six pins 19 arranged on the rotary means 15 are rotated sequentially while undergoing a reciprocal motion.
Referring to FIGS. 10, 11, 16 to 18, the operation will be illustrated.
The pin 19a facing the bottom of the cam 8 with a predetermined gap K is moved by the rotation of the rotary means 15 whereby the head 20 of the pin 19a is shifted from the bottom 10 to approach the first taper part 11. As shown in FIG. 18, the head 20 of the pin 19a is contacted to the first taper part 11 and it is further shifted the axial direction while sliding on the first taper part 11 (the upper direction in FIG. 18) against the spring force of the spring 23. The shank 22 begins to project from the hole 16 of the rotary means 15. The head 20 of the pin ascends to the higher part 9 of the cam 8. The shank 22 is completely projects from the hole 16 near the tangential line in the longitudinal direction of the core element 2 to the locus circle of the pin 19, whereby the shank 22 is completely engaged in the slot 3 of the core element 2. At the time when the shank 22 of the pin 19a is completely engaged in the slot 3 of the core element 2, the pin 19b which is a distance (S) behind the pin 19a, is placed so as to slightly contact to the next slot 3. When the core element 2 is wound by the pin 19a to forwardly move to the position (X) shown by the one dotted chain line in FIG. 17, the leveled tip of the shank 22 of the pin 19b is rotated while moving to the position (Y) and contacted with the rear end of the teeth 4 corresponding to the slots 3 (shown in FIG. 16).
The spaces between the pins including the pins 19a, 19b are set to be equal to the distances (S) between the teeth 4 for bending the core element 2 in circle. Thus, the beveled part of the tip of the shank 22 of the pin 19 provides an important function. Even though the spaces between the teeth 4 are varied, the pin 19 can be easily engaged in the slot 3 through the beveled tip of the shank 22 of the pin 19. The core element 2 is continuously bent about the tangential line whereby the pitches of the slots 3 are not uniform near the tangential line. The pins 19 can be easily engaged in the non-uniform slots 3. Thus, sixteen pins 19 are contacted with the higher part 9 of the cam 8 and the pins 19 sequentially descend through the second taper 12 to be put into the holes 16 of the rotary means 15 and the operation is repeated.
The slant angle of the first taper part 11 is set at an angle α so that the pin 19 can easily ascend and the next pin 19b is contacted with the first taper part 11 to initiate the ascending when the pin 19a ascends to the higher part 9.
The core element 2 is forcibly fed from the guide inlet 33 through the taper part to slide the outer surface of the core element on the inner wall of the annular path 28, whereby the shank 22 of the pin 19 is put into the front slot 3 of the core element 2 in the forward side to engage it and the core element 2 is wound on the mandrel 30 by the rotation of the rotary means 15. At the same time, the opening of the slot 3 of the core element 2 is engaged in the key 32 of the mandrel 30. In this position, the core element 2 is pulled in the direction opposite to a rotating direction of the pin 19 by the tension slightly smaller than the rotational force on the pin. Accordingly, when the core element 2 is wound by the pin 19 on the mandrel 30 in the rotating direction of a pin 19 for the predetermined distance the shank 22 of the next pin 19 is put into the slot to engage it to the next slot 3 of the core element 2 in the forward direction and the core element 2 is further wound. Thus, the end of the core element 2 is contacted with the inner wall of the annular path 28 and the core element is bent by the force in the radial direction, and the plastic deformation of the core element causes it to form a part of a multi-angled structure which is substantially a circle.
Thus, the shank 22 of the pins 19 are sequentially engaged in the slots of the core elements 2 whereby the core element 2 is continuously wound. Referring to FIGS. 19 and 20, the operation for bending the core element 2 in a multi-angle structure, will be illustrated.
The front end of the core element 2 is pulled by the tension F1 caused by the torque of the pin 19 and the rear part of the core element 2 is pulled in the opposite direction (opposite to F1) by the tension F2 (F2 < F1) and the core element 2 is wound by the pins 19. The bending stress M is applied to the core element in the radial direction.
Accordingly, the local stress is applied to the A--A line from the slot 3 of the core element 2 to the notch 5. The stress δt is applied to the outer peripheral part and the stress δc is applied to the inner peripheral part as the boundary point P. As shown by the shading (A--A sectional view of FIG. 20), the plastic deformation of the core element is formed by the elongation of the outer peripheral part to vary the thickenss t of the core element to the thinner thickness t1 and by contraction of the inner peripheral part to vary the thickness to the thicker thickness t2.
Then, the local stress is also applied to the part the of B--B line from the rear of slot 3 to the notch 5 whereby the core element is bent and the plastic deformation is also caused. On the other hand, the part of C--C line of the the core element 2 is not substantially affected by the bending stress M and only a slight elastic deformation is formed and the thickness is not substantially varied (C--C sectional view of FIG. 20). The bending stress M is continuously applied to the core element 2 whereby the plastic deformation of the core element 2 is continuously caused to bend it and the core element is wound in a multi-angle structure which is helical.
In FIG. 5, the bending stress M for the plastic deformation of the core element at the position (A) is equal to the resultant force of stress for winding by thirteen of the pins 19 (tension F1) which are engaged in the slots 3 of the core element 2. The large bending stress M is formed by the combination of small stresses.
The stress applied to the ends R of the teeth 4 by winding the core element 2 while contacting the teeth 4 with the peripheral part of the mandrel 30 is shared by the teeth 4 whereby the damage of the teeth 4 by the deformation is not caused. Moreover, in the range for bending the core element 2 (the range from the position (A) to the position (B) in FIG. 5), the tendency is for recovering the core element 2 by the elasticity in the part of the C--C line along the radial direction. However, the core element 2 is wound so as to press the ends of the teeth 4 of the core element 2 to the outer peripheral part of the mandrel 30 at a displacement angle between the mandrel 30 and the pins and the key 32 and the shanks 22 of the pins 19. Accordingly the other end of the core element 2 is not contacted with the inner wall of the annular path thereby preventing the wear of the inner wall or the deformation of the other end of the core element 2.
Thus, the core element 2 is sequentially bent in a multi-angle structure to be wound by the torque of the pin 19 under the rotation of the rotary element 15. The forward end of the core element 2 is forwardly moved in the axial direction by the end 27a of the first guide plate 27. The core element 2 is further wound and bent by the rotation of the rotary element 15. The core element 2 is guided in multi-angle structure by the pressing plate 34 and the second guide plate 33 to be wound on the peripheral part of the mandrel 30. When a suitable length of the core element 2 is wound, the rotation of the mandrel 30 is stopped and the core element 2 guided by the pressing plate 34 is disposed between the fixed cutting edge 36 of the cutter 35 and the movable cutting edge 37 of the cutter to cut the core element 2 by moving the movable cutting edge 37 in the arrow line direction.
The core element 2 wound in the multi-angle structure for a suitable length, is transferred to the another lace and it is compressed for stacking by a compressing apparatus, (the condition shown in FIGS. 12 and 13).
In order to complete the wound core, the core element 2 is welded in the built-up direction with suitable spaces at the positions of the notches 5 on the peripheral part of the core element. The operation is repeated to continuously prepare the wound cores.
In the embodiment, the disclosed notches 5 are formed in the opposite side of the core element 2 corresponding to the teeth 4, whereby the local stress can be easily applied by the pins 19 to the parts of the A--A line and the B--B line from both slots 3 in both sides of the tooth 4 to the notch 5 and the core element is easily bent when the core element 2 is wound by the pins 19. Moreover, when the wound core is assembled on the generator, the notches 5 can be used as the paths for the bolts and it is unnecessary to form holes in the wound core for the bolts.
In the above-mentioned embodiment, the notches 5 are formed in the other side of the core element 2. However, the notches 5 are not always necessary. The core element 2 can be easily bent without notches in the apparatus. In the latter case the, thickness of the peripheral part of the core element 2 becomes slightly thinner than that of the former embodiment. The problem is not so serious. The same results can be attained by forming two notches corresponding to two slots 3. Obviously, numerous modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in light of the above teachings. It is therefore to be understood that within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described herein.
The diameter of the pin is set to be smaller than the size of the slot in the longitudinal direction and a plurality of the pins can be sequentially engaged to the slots in the reciprocating motion. The effect is remarkable when the pitches of the slots of the core element are not uniform.

Kristen Stewart stepped out in Stella McCartney for a party at the designer's LA boutique on Friday. See Kristen reunite with her Runaways muse Joan Jett to watch Johnny Depp's latest project in today's PopSugar Rush.View Transcript »
Kristen Stewart hangs with fashion heavyweights and reunites with her Runaways muse to watch Johnny Depp's latest project. Hey there, I'm Karli Bulnes. Check out Ms. Stewart's fun-filled Friday night in today's PopSugar Rush. Kristen Stewart stepped out in Stella McCartney for a party at the designer's LA boutique on Friday night. The soiree acted as a screening for a trio of music videos that Paul McCartney directed and that star a guitar-playing Johnny Depp and Natalie Portman, who both perform sign language to the song, My Valentine. "And I will never let a day go by/Without remembering the reasons why . . ." PopSugar editor Lauren Turner is here with the inside scoop: Stella McCartney actually came up with the concept for the videos This is the second video of Paul's that Natalie Portman has starred in — she also appeared in Dance Tonight back in 2007. Stella's friend Gwyneth Paltrow, Reese Witherspoon, and Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom also came out for the occasion Kristen was without boyfriend Robert Pattinson for the outing, who had his own evening with the guys in LA a week and a half ago, though she did enjoy the company of a rather famous friend — Joan Jett, who Kristen played in The Runaways back in 2010! The musician and Ms. Stewart were all smiles as they left the bash together in the backseat of an awaiting car. Meanwhile, Breaking Dawn Part 2 director Bill Condon sent a Facebook message to fans over the weekend He announced that both Kristen and Rob will be returning to Vancouver in a few weeks for some reshoots. The final film in the Twilight saga is set to be released November 16th.

In flange connections where there are high levels of chemical attack, PTFE flat gaskets are used. Due to the cold flow affinity of unfilled PTFE, use is mainly made of PTFE composites and PTFE-enveloped gaskets which have increased resistance to stress relaxation.
Because of their high chemical resistance and outstanding sealing properties, PTFE-enveloped gaskets have proven excellent when used at fluctuating pressures and temperatures ranging from -195 °C to +250 °C. Glass tubes, metal-enveloped glass tubes and glass equipment from laboratory or pilot installations can be connected up as easily as enamelled, coated or lined pipes and equipment in large plants.
PTFE-enveloped gaskets are particularly useful with aggressive chemicals in the chemical industry, due to their high resistant strength. PTFE is also physiologically harmless, and so can be used in the food and pharmaceutical sectors.
Apart from their high resistance to chemicals, PTFE is also extremely anti-adhesive. This non-stick effect means that no material will adhere to the surface of the PTFE.
PTFE-enveloped gaskets consist of a stable gasket insert and a PTFE envelope. Only high-quality, non-porous PTFE is used for the envelope, so as to protect the insert against chemical attack. The PTFE envelopes are open onto the outer or inner diameter, or encase the entire insert, depending on what is required. The envelope is 0.5 mm thick and therefore very stable. Lathed envelopes can be produced with an internal diameter 2 to 4 mm thicker to provide greater diffusion sealing.
For dimensions see the section 3 ”Flat gaskets made from Graphite, Fibre, PTFE, Elastomer“.
Enclosed you will find downloads such as product documentation, product data sheet, safety information and gasket characteristics.

The time between a hatching egg being produced and set in an incubator can be divided into a laying house period and a storage period. The period in the laying house affects hatching results by the stage of embryonic development at oviposition as well as by the subsequent environmental conditions. Advanced embryonic development at oviposition or prior to storage seems to improve hatchability, especially when storage is prolonged. Stage of embryonic development at oviposition is influenced by parental age, strain, individual bird variation and clutch length. After oviposition and before storage embryonic development can be influenced by the type of nest, egg collection pattern and temperature.
During storage, hatchability is influenced by the length of the storage period, temperature, humidity, gaseous environment and the orientation of the eggs. A decrease in hatchability can be detected in eggs stored for 2–3 days or more. Storage temperature should be decreased with extended length of storage. Temporary heating before incubation and enclosing eggs in plastic bags during storage improves hatchability, especially when storage is prolonged. A high humidity during storage also improves hatchability, probably due to a reduction in water loss. The changes in albumen pH during storage are discussed in so far as they provide a possible explanation for relationships between environmental conditions during storage and hatching results.

'Focus Cities'- Moreno, Argentina
To promote in-depth research and allow time to successfully monitor outcomes, the Urban Poverty and Environment team at the International Research Centre for the Development of Canada (IDRC) set up a Focus Cities project.
They strategically selected eight cities where multistakeholder City Teams would work in partnership over four years, research and test innovative solutions to alleviate poverty.
This film shows experiences from one of the Focus Cities, the City of Moreno, Buenos Aires, Argentina by IIED-América Latina.
The film presents the views as well as the results of the implemented actions of the different members of the project, local government, representatives of local community organisations and researchers from IIED and IIED-AL.

United States of America, Plaintiff-appellee, v. Henry Clifford Byrd, Sr., Defendant-appellant, 848 F.2d 186 (4th Cir. 1988)Annotate this Case
Henry Clifford Byrd, Sr., appellant pro se.
Robert William Jaspen, Kenneth Wayne McAllister, Office of the United States Attorney, for appellee.
VACATED AND REMANDED.
Before JAMES DICKSON PHILLIPS, MURNAGHAN and SPROUSE, Circuit Judges.
Henry Clifford Byrd appeals the district court's denial of relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2255. The district court denied relief upon recommendation of the magistrate after finding that Byrd's objections to the magistrate's recommendation were untimely and therefore de novo review was not required. In refusing to consider the untimely objections the district court noted that Byrd had failed in this action to advise the court of his new address and thus was to blame for his delayed receipt of the magistrate's recommendation.
On appeal Byrd points to the district court docket sheet which reflects his new address with a date next to this address which precedes the mailing of the magistrate's recommendation. He maintains that he advised the court of his new address promptly upon his transfer to a different prison and cannot be faulted for the delay in receiving the magistrate's recommendation. He maintains that his objections, which were filed eight days after receipt of the magistrate's recommendation, should have been considered by the district court.
Although the district court has discretion in deciding whether to grant an extension to file objections to the magistrate's report, we believe it would be an abuse of that discretion to deny an extension if, in this case, Byrd had advised the court of his new address yet did not timely receive the magistrate's recommendation because it was sent to the old address. See Grandison v. Moore, 786 F.2d 146 (3d Cir. 1986). In view of Byrd's argument on appeal in regard to the notation on the district court docket sheet, we remand this action to the district court for further consideration of Byrd's contention that he did advise the court, in this action, of his new address, and, if appropriate, for de novo review of the record in light of Byrd's objections.
Because the dispositive issues recently have been decided authoritatively, we dispense with oral argument, vacate the judgment of the district court, and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
VACATED AND REMANDED.

I'm really excited for this episode! Thankfully, it's on a Friday (at least, for me I'm thankful). But, that's not the best day to put a show on. A lot of shows on other channels aired on Friday nights and they've been cancelled, but this is Phineas and Ferb we're talkin' about! That won't happen!
"Hey Ferb" seems like a great song, and maybe someday that episode will actually be on Broadway *crosses fingers*

When it comes to peacekeeping, some people are quite skeptical about it, and they think that world peace is just an illusion. However, having a peaceful life is the conviction of some ambassadors of peace. Why should we be optimistic that it is possible to live in serenity? There must be some good reasons why those defenders of peace have a strong belief in living in harmony.
It is possible if each individual begins with a quest for inner peace
The ambassador of peace, Prem Rawat, said: " It is crucial that peace be a component of each individual's life. The truth is that people need peace, but not the world. If people live in serenity, the world will be in harmony ". These words mean that it is possible to find peace if each individual does their best to find it.
Therefore, it is possible to have peace even if it is not something that the world is looking for. On the other hand, each individual in this planet is looking for harmonious life. Thus, by all means should each individual strive to learn how to feel inner peace. If this happens, then, each of us will feel much better. You can visit https://www.tprf.org/ to have more information about him.
Peace is possible if we get rid of deadly weapons
If each individual is at peace with themselves, it will no longer be necessary to use weapons. Everybody will, therefore, be aware that we are all brothers and that we will no longer need weapons and kill each other, regard less of
- Our complexion,
- Our religion,
- Or our culture.
If humans have peace within themselves, nobody will be tempted to create conflicts. The great peace warrior, Prem Rawat, preaches about this truth and focuses his struggle on the quest for inner peace. The feeling of inner peace in each individual is enough to remove any possible conflict incentives, and then, it won't be necessary at all to use firearms or military wars to restore peace in a country.
Peace is possible if each nation uses its assets to meet its needs
But as what the messengers of peace said, it is crucial that this effort starts from each individual. Moreover, if the citizens in a country have inner peace, they will be able to deal with any problem provided that each individual is at peace with themselves.
It is possible, but we still have a long way to go
The world we live in will probably be peaceful one day. Yet, the road is long and winding. It is not easy to lead each individual into inner peace. Everybody has their own opinion of everything and of what is good for them. In fact, it is not easy to make everyone have the same vision in life. All the global organizations are doing their best to establish peace in the world.
Those organizations have contributed largely to war and conflict prevention efforts; nevertheless, more efforts need to be made in order to ensure sustainable peace, which is the hope of many nations in the world.

South Korean automobile giant Hyundai Motors said on Wednesday that they are ready to invest $530 million (₹20 billion) to launch 6 e-vehicles in India.
The renowned South Korean company famous for its amazing cars, Hyundai, said on Wednesday that they are preparing for huge investments to launch six electric vehicles by 2028 in India, to make efforts into cleaning the country with some of the world’s most heavily polluted cities. They are the second-largest car manufacturer in India.
Hyundai is planning to launch affordable, premium and most importantly, eco-friendly electric cars. The 6 new EVs will include SUVs (Sport Utility Vehicles) and sedans. Tarun Garg, director sales and marketing of Hyundai Motors India, said a fresh start to the plan will be given by Hyundai’s first EV getting launched in India in 2022. Garg added that we (Hyundai Motors) want to be an important contributor to the EV story in India.
The vehicles will be carefully designed for India, and the huge investment of ₹20 billion will be used up in research and development to launch the 6 EVs. EVs are getting more popular across the globe due to strict emission rules implied by different governments, challenging the automobile manufacturers and hence indirectly encouraging them to make EVs for a change. For instance, the Indian government is aiming to bring the percentage of total EVs’ sales in the country to around 30% by 2030 although currently, it stands only at about 1% of the total vehicles’ sales.
In 2019, Hyundai launched its EV Kona in India, but the sales were so low that they had to stop its manufacturing. This was because the prices of Kona were too high and also, there were almost no charging infrastructures in the country. Garg said Kona taught the company how important it is to manufacture affordable EVs.

A valve on a water pipeline supplying Sonoma Valley ruptured at 11:40 a.m. Wednesday in Santa Rosa during a routine upgrade of the aqueduct by the Sonoma County Water Agency.
According to a release by Ann DuBay, with the Sonoma County Water Agency, onsite crews immediately responded to the 2-inch hole in the 24-inch aqueduct and the rupture was stopped at approximately 1 p.m.
An estimated 150 gallons per minute of water – or about 16,500 gallons – were released during the rupture, which occurred near the intersection of Melita Drive and Los Alamos Road in Santa Rosa. There was no interruption of service to water agency customers. The pipeline will be fully repaired by approximately 5:30 p.m. Traffic was not interrupted during the rupture or repair.
Water from the rupture flowed into Santa Rosa Creek. A water agency biologist is onsite assessing potential impacts to fish, wildlife and habitat.
The water agency is working to upgrade its aging water supply infrastructure and protect it against disasters, such as earthquakes, by implementing its Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. As a part of this plan, the water agency has installed new isolation valves and is upgrading and replacing air valves within its more than 90 miles of underground water supply pipeline system.

In honor of the 1967 Porsche 911 R, the new R is positioned as a racing car homologated for road use. Under its belly we find the 4.0 naturally aspirated boxer six-cylinder GT3 RS, developing 500 hp at 8,250 RPM and 460 Nm at 6,250 RPM.
All this power is transmitted to the rear axle through a six-speed manual gearbox, with very short travel and automatic dual clutch function, and is launched to 100 km / h in just 3.8 seconds to reach 323 km / h. Whoever buys this car will not worry much about consumption, but even so the 911 R homologates an average of 13.3 l/100 km of gasoline.
The natural habitat of the 911 R is undoubtedly the curves. To improve its efficiency in them it mounts the steering rear axle inherited from the GT3, a mechanical self-locking differential, carboceramic brakes and 20" single-nut light alloy wheels with high-performance tyres 245 mm wide at the front axle and 305 mm at the rear. As for the electronics, the PSM (Porsche Stability Management) has been recalibrated to be more permissive and allow controlled crossovers.
The total weight of the 911 R is 1,370 kilos, making it the lightest 911 in the range, 50 kilos below the GT3 RS. To achieve this weight, the bonnet and wings are made of carbon fibre, the roof of magnesium and the exhaust of titanium. Both the side windows and the rear window are made of lightweight plastic, the insulation has been reduced and the rear seats have been removed.
In fact to try to keep this weight as low as possible the climate control and audio system are optional.
In the aesthetic section it can be seen that it takes many elements of the GT3, such as the front and rear. Instead of carrying the large fixed spoiler of the GT3, the R uses a retractable one similar to those used in the Carrera range and this R version also has a specific rear diffuser to provide sufficient downforce. Inside we find a carbon bucket seats whose fabric in the central part corresponds to the design Pepita tartan wearing the first 911 of the first series.
The steering wheel is unique to this model with a diameter of 360 mm. Other typical elements of the models more focused on Porsche circuit are the straps that serve to open the doors. In order not to forget that this is a limited series -only 991 units will be produced- inside there is a carbon strip that, next to the passenger, has an aluminium plate with the number that identifies each unit.
If you're convinced, you'll be able to reserve it and get your hands on one from May. Being a special edition with a limited number of units it's not very cheap, 217,469 euros to be exact, but for that price you'll get one of the best 911s ever made.


Adele has the year's most popular album with "21," so it makes sense that she's the most nominated artist for this year's American Music Awards.
The nominees were announced Tuesday in Los Angeles by Nicki Minaj and Pitbull, and Adele led all nominees with four. The British soul singer and songwriter, whose hits include the No. 1 songs "Rolling in the Deep" and "Someone Like You," was nominated for artist of the year, favorite female artist, favorite adult contemporary artist and favorite album for "21." Her sophomore album is the year's best-selling album with more than 3.7 million copies sold in the United States.
Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Lil Wayne, Katy Perry, Rihanna and The Band Perry all trailed Adele closely with three nominations each. Pitbull and Minaj both got two nominations each, along with Beyonce, Bruno Mars, Chris Brown, Jason Aldean, LMFAO and Kanye West.
Lil Wayne, Swift, Perry and Lady Gaga are competing with Adele in the artist of the year category.
Nominees are determined from chart data, and winners will be determined by online fan voting.
The 39th annual American Music Awards will be held Nov. 20 at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. Perry and Pitbull are the first confirmed performers. The show will air live on ABC.

Quality grocery service and convenient. Thanks.
I was extremely happy with the service and products I received while on vacation in April. After having arrived at 12:30 AM and knowing that I would have breakfast items already in the condo was wonderful. It made the beginning of my vacation more enjoyable knowing that i could sleep a little longer knowing that my family would have something to eat that first morning. I would take advantage of this service again, and most definite recommend this service to anyone else.

Apple is set to roll out a credit card with Goldman Sachs this spring, reports the Wall Street Journal. The card will soon begin a testing phase internally with employees before rolling out to the general public. The Journal says both companies are hoping to lure additional customers by offering them extra card features through Apple’s Wallet app. Such extra features reportedly include the ability for users to set spending goals, manage their balances, and track their rewards via the Wallet app.
This isn’t the first time the Wall Street Journal has reported on a possible joint card between Apple and Goldman Sachs. Back in May of last year, the Journal reported on the initiative. At the time, the Journal said:
Apple Inc. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. are preparing to launch a new joint credit card, a move that would deepen the technology giant’s push into its customers’ wallets and mark the Wall Street firm’s first foray into plastic.
The planned card would carry the Apple Pay brand and could launch early next year, people familiar with the matter said.
So it looks like that timescale is being met. As for other details about the joint card, it is expected to use Mastercard’s network and will offer about 2% in cash back on the majority of purchases—but possibly larger cash-back offerings for purchases of Apple products.

It has been over two months since I began my summer internship in the McGuire lab – I love it! Throughout this internship, I have assisted in various projects in the lab and gained experience working with new tools and techniques. I’ve discovered my love for being out in the field!
As far as the dog urine experiment is concerned, we are planning to synthesize dog urine using data from published literature and urinalysis normative data from ANTECH Diagnostics Lab. The specimen from the lab is obtained from a private dog owner. This project will most likely begin in the upcoming fall semester. Results from this project will give us a better understanding of the impact of urbanization on the ecosystem and improve citywide green infrastructure management.
The green roof assembly project is a survey of the soil microbial communities across different ground-level green infrastructure installations in the city. It has been an active study in our lab for the past five years; 2015 marks the last year we are obtaining soil for comparison and analysis. Fortunately, I was able to partake in soil sampling for its final year. My lab mates and I spent early July soil sampling across ten different green roofs (all of which are on the roof of recreation centers) in NYC: Sunset Park Pool, Brownsville Recreation Center, Chelsea Recreation Center, Lyons Pool, St John’s Recreation Center, St Mary’s Recreation Center, Lost Battalion Hall Recreation Center, Jackie Robinson Recreation Center, Hansborough Recreation Center and Sorrentino Recreation Center. Back in the lab, we conducted DNA extraction and measured the soil's moisture content and the soil pH in water. A few lab mates are currently finishing up on PCR that will undergo shotgun sequencing in the near future. Results from this project will help NYC better confront global issues such as pollution by finding the appropriate plant community to grow on green roofs.
Within these past few weeks, I have been assigned to a yearlong project in collaboration with Nandan from NYC Parks and Recreation and Ranran, a PhD student from Columbia University. We visit eight sample sites in the Bronx twice a month - these sites are green streets and bioswales. They are designed not only to beautify the streets in the city but also to collect stormwater runoff from the streets after a large precipitation event. Our project goal is to determine whether these ground-level green infrastructures are effective in nutrient recycling and capturing water runoff that would otherwise flow into the sewer system. My role is to collect soil to analyze the role of RNA in nutrient recycling. Since RNA is unstable, sieving and immediate flash freezing with liquid nitrogen is done on site. Nandan aims to test soil mineralization and Ranran measures the gas contained in the interstitial spaces of the soil using a soil-gas chamber (also known as soil-gas sampling). My focus for the yearlong Guided Research & Seminar course at Barnard will be an extension of this study.
In the past month, no significant progress has been made towards finding sources of dog urine for our prospective project. Many dog owners declined to donate dog urine since the process of collecting urine is stressful for the dog. Because thirty-five gallons is simply too large to collect manually, we have decided to synthesize dog urine in the lab. We initially planned to research its average composition and synthesize it but failed to find recently published literature on the composition of dog urine. Instead, we plan to use nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to determine the physical and chemical properties of the mere 30 milliliters of dog urine sample that we struggled to collect at the Bideawee dog shelter. From there, we will have the list of ingredients needed for our dog urine recipe.
A familiar lab technique I revisited this past month since general chemistry lab last fall is measuring the pH of a given sample. For a few days, I used a pH probe to measure the pH values of soil samples in water. Measuring the pH, or the soil’s acidity or alkalinity is important because we want to determine the relationship (if any) between soil microbes and the pH of the soil samples. For further analysis, we computed the moisture content of the collected soil samples. We oven-dried a pinch of soil from each sample and compared it with its respective wet weight.
On June 19th, I went on a lab excursion to a one-day conference (Microbes in the City: Mapping the Urban Genome) at the New York Academy of Sciences. I was very excited about this opportunity because the relationship between microbes and human health is poorly studied. The conference successfully tackles the recent discoveries on microbes in urban areas and their relationship with humans and our health. Many findings were fascinating! As a commuting student researcher in the microbial ecology lab, the presentations about the microbiome in urban mass transit, in particular, caught my attention. The various microbial organisms that seep into the cracks of the wooden subway benches grossed me out. I learned that more than 40% of the DNA obtained from sampling in the NYC subway system did not match any currently known species of microbial organisms. We don’t even know what microbes we are coming in contact with. It is safe to bet that I will never sit on the subway benches ever again! Subway poles, however, are supposedly germ-resistant. As quoted by one of my favorite presenters, “you will probably be fine if you like a subway pole.”
In the upcoming weeks, we will be doing soil sampling for the Green Roof Assembly Project. In this project, we aim to create better green spaces throughout New York City to help capture stormwater runoff after a heavy precipitation event. Without the addition of green infrastructures in the city, the water quality will surely be negatively impacted as the runoff combines with raw sewage. For this project, we have been collecting soil samples from nearby parks and recreation centers once a month since 2012. We hope to explore and compare the diversity of microbes among green roofs with different plant communities. Additionally, we hope to explore the differences in the soil and microbes throughout the years. In this past month, my lab mates and I have been working hard to finish DNA extractions and perform PCR (polymerase chain reaction) to amplify a segment of DNA. We will send these DNA samples to another lab for sequencing. We will also be using the PLFA (phospholipid fatty acid) process to measure the microbial biomass and composition. We hypothesize that microbial biomass is directly correlated with the ability of soil to retain water.
On the first day of my summer internship at Barnard College, I walked in Dr. McGuire’s microbial ecology lab not feeling even a little bit nervous since I had been working in the lab the past spring semester. I was already familiar with the work environment and saw a few familiar (and new) faces. Right now, there are multiple research projects going on in the McGuire lab and I have not been officially assigned to a specific project -- I have been working in ones that need an extra helping hand. I spent the first week of my summer internship doing DNA extractions from soil samples collected from Puerto Rico, a technique that isolates microbial genomic DNA, and will later undergo shot-gun sequencing for further analysis.
The research project I am most interested in working on this summer is the investigation of the correlation between dog urine and soil microbe communities in NYC. I hypothesize that while urea from dog urine may benefit soil microbes as a fertilizer at initial application, additional application of dog urine past a certain threshold will negatively affect the water retaining capabilities of ground-level green infrastructures. This has a significant impact on water quality especially after a precipitation event because the unabsorbed stormwater runoff combines with raw sewage which then gets released to the nearest water outlets. Such a phenomenon is especially important in urban areas (i.e. NYC) that are highly populated with pets that urinate outdoors, such as dogs. Results from this research project may lead to increased water quality and educate dog owners on the effects that their pets may have on the environment in which they live in.
In this past week, my lab mate, Jee Min, and I have been researching on facilities that may be interested in donating dog urine for our project. Although we have already secured donation from Bideawee, a dog shelter in the city, a total of 34.6 gallons of dog urine is needed for this project and collecting urine samples from one location is simply not enough. This past week we have also personally visited dog parks in the nearby area, asking owners of pet dogs if they were interested in contributing to our research study. As expected, most initial responses were negative. (Catching dog urine is actually more difficult than expected!) Of the dog owners that were willing to participate, we will be personally collecting the stored dog urine from the household upon contact.
In the upcoming weeks, we hope that facilities and dog owners that we have reached out to will contact and follow up with us. Meanwhile, my other lab mates have been learning how to perform DNA amplification, a technique that increases the number of copies of a particular DNA fragment. With the help and guidance of Dr. McGuire and my fellow lab mates, I hope to take part of this training as soon as I have secured additional locations to collect dog urine from.

One of the UK’s most ambitious art fairs is returning to Manchester Central on on 11-13th October.
Attracting over 68, 000 art lovers over 12 years, Aviva Investors Manchester Art Fair welcomes visitors looking to buy modern and contemporary paintings, sculptures, photographs and limited edition prints.
Founder Thom Hetherington, said: “We’re so proud of how the fair has developed and changed the lives of artists, curators and collectors across the region.”
“Our biggest success has been reaching out to non-traditional art buyers. As the artist Keith Haring famously said, “There is an audience that is being ignored … they are open to art when it is open to them.”
The fair returns to Manchester Central on 11-13 October 2019 and we’re highlighting, here are the top reasons why you shouldn’t miss a visit this year.
1. THE NORTH’S BIGGEST OPPORTUNITY TO BUY ART
Manchester Art Fair is the largest art fair in the North of England and one of the most ambitious in the UK. With over one thousand works for sale from over two hundred artists, it is also the largest art buying opportunity outside of London!
2. WORKS FOR SALE FROM CONTEMPORARY ART’S MOST FAMOUS NAMES
Each year Manchester Art Fair offers the opportunity to acquire works by internationally renowned artists including the Connor Brothers, Banksy and L.S. Lowry. A full list of prestigious artists will be released nearer the time.
Alongside these well-known names, the fair combines emerging local artistic talent such as Shabir Beigh and Lita Narayan. Other award-winning artists include Greater Manchester Arts Prize winner James Roper and the prestigious Sunday Times Cityscape Prize winner Janet Kenyon.
3. FANCY WINNING A BANSKY WORTH £1950?
In conjunction with Leon Martyn, there will be a chance to enter a raffle to win a Banksy print worth £1950! The digital print up for grabs is Banksy’s Walled Off Box Set (2017), 23 x 23cm which depicts Israel Wall in West Bank with Banksy’s distinctive hand-sprayed style. To be in with a chance to win, simply purchase your £10 raffle ticket at stand 242. The winner will be announced Sunday 13 October at 4 pm.
4. THE MANCHESTER CONTEMPORARY
Taking place alongside Manchester Art Fair, The Manchester Contemporary is the only fair of its type outside of London.
Curated by Natt Pitt from Division of Labour, the exhibition will focus on critically engaged art with bold curatorial vision. The 2019 edition promises exciting installations from galleries in the UK and abroad, including Manchester’s Pink and Salford’s Paradise Works, Madrid’s Espacio Liquido, and New York’s LMAKgallery.
Expert help will be on hand for those who wish to learn more about the work on display and the artists.

Manchester Art Fair will host one of the highlights from the 2019 Degree Show at Manchester School of Art. The piece is striking, relevant and will be a major centrepiece at the fair. Details to be announced soon!
6. ITV IDENTITY PROJECT
In January 2019, ITV launched a new on-screen identity project. Every week new interpretations of the ITV logo have been revealed, with a wide range of British artists behind their designs.
All of the work is influenced by popular ITV programmes and the artist’s relationship with television. Most of these identities will be on show at this year’s Manchester Art Fair including one by Erin Taylor who graduated in Fine Art at Manchester School of Art in July 2019. Taylor’s ITV identity was her first commission as an artist.
7. THE MANCHESTER CONTEMPORARY ART FUND
Now in its third year, The Manchester Contemporary Art Fund was created to purchase works from the fair and donate them to Manchester Art Gallery’s public collection. The three purchases made last year are currently on display in the gallery.
The fund uses donations from prominent local figures who want to support young artists and provide them with a platform to achieve critical acclaim. This year’s acquisitions will be revealed on the Preview Night.
8. WORKSHOPS AT THE FAIR
Visitors can enjoy drawing classes hosted by Creative Art Courses and paint workshops with Cass Art. Hot Bed Press is also making a come-back with their popular screen-printing demonstrations and print workshop on stand 230, for anyone who wants to give it a go. Cass Art are also running fun activities for children in the café.

Gray, William R.
Voyages to Paradise; exploring in the wake of Captain Cook.
The National Geographic Society.
William Gray's book has all the hallmarks of the National Geographic magazine: a chatty style of writing and a profusion of illustrations.
It covers places other books usually ignore, such as Yorkshire and Newfoundland. The interviews that Gray conducted are about Cook rather than modern day problems. Indeed, there is no mention of how Gray got from one place to another, such things are incidental to the story.
Originally published in Cook's Log, page 444, volume 9, number 2 (1986).

Virgin Australia says high staff illness rates hampering capacity, lifting fares
SYDNEY — Virgin Australia has been unable to provide enough domestic capacity to meet demand that is tracking above 2019 levels because of high illness rates among staff, its chief executive said on Wednesday.
“It is people capacity, not aircraft capacity,” Virgin Chief Executive Jayne Hrdlicka said of the problems at a CAPA Centre for Aviation conference. “Hopefully by Christmas-time it is a bit more back to normal.”
Capacity constraints made it “inevitable” that ticket prices remain a bit higher than normal for awhile, she said. (Reporting by Jamie Freed; Editing by Tom Hogue)

Do you have a set of house plans that you love but haven’t used yet? How long are they good for? Do they ever expire?
You may have worked with an architect to draft your future home plans, bought a set online, or borrowed plans from a family member. Perhaps you have held them for a few months to a few years.
Let’s dig into how well they age!
Does a house plan expire?
The simple answer is, it depends.
It depends on what amount of work you have had done on your house plans. I have highlighted the three main stages below.
Scenario 1: You purchased basic plans from an online resource
These plans will not expire. They can be used when ever and as many times as you would like. Why? Because they have not been applied to a plot of land.
In order to build on these plans, you will need to work with a developer or architect to adapt these plans to your specific land. Elevations may need to be adjusted and the whole structure may need to be updated by a local structural engineer.
For example, a building code would be different for building the home on the coast in Florida, where there are numerous hurricanes, then building in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, where there could be many feet of snowfall.
The blue print you get offline is a base outline and thus will not expire.
Scenario 2: You borrowed home plans from a family member or friend.
These plans will expire if they were used to build their existing home.
The reason these plans will expire is because they have been specified for a particular lot of land that will be different from your lot of land.
You can take these home plans as a framework to build upon but you will still need to refine the elevations and structural engineering of the plans. You may also need to adjust the exterior based on your Home Owners Association (HOA) guidelines.
Scenario 3: You worked with an architect to design your home plan
If you worked with an architect to build your home plans for the lot in which you want to build on, then these will typically not expire. However, there are some caveats to this.
1. Depending on the amount of time that has passed from when your home was designed, city or county code may have changed. These are probably minor changes but they would impact your ability to secure permits or pass inspection if they are not reviewed.
2. Your HOA guidelines may have been amended or updated. This could impact your plans in many ways. Maybe they revised the materials you can use on the exterior of your home. Perhaps they increased the minimum square footage required for a new build. Keep up with any changes to avoid this.
3. Your Permits expired. If you developed all of your house plans and received your city, HOA, and county permits to move forward but never did. Then these permits would expire and you would have to reapply. This can cost additional money and may require additional changes to your plans as explained in items 1 and 2.
4. Your geographical data expired. This may be the case if you have held a piece of property for a long time and haven’t built yet.
For example, you bought a piece of land in 2005 and had house plans developed but decided for financial reasons to hold off building until 2020.
In order to complete your home plans in 2005 you had topographical surveys completed, sewage reports, and soil reports completed.
If you wanted to start building in 2020, there is a high chance that you would need to update all of your reports in order to secure current permits. Most environments don’t change much over 15 years but any slight change could impact the foundation of your home.
Who approves building plans?
Building plans may need to be approved my multiple parties. For most people, their city will be the primary contact who will be responsible to granting permits to move forward with your construction process.
If your property is located outside of city limits you will need to follow the permit process as outlined by your county. Don’t assume that since you are not in city limits that you don’t need a permit to start building.
Also, if your lot is in a neighborhood that has an HOA, you will need to make sure you have their approval prior to starting any construction! Their guidelines and procedures may differ from what your city or county requires.
Building plan approval process
1. Start with your HOA
Before you contact your local jurisdiction for approval you will need to show approval from your HOA. If you don’t have an HOA you can move on to step 2.
Every HOA is different but there is typically a design request process that you will need to follow. It is best to connect with your HOA early in the design process so that they are involved from the beginning and can be prepared to review your designs.
Some design reviews are submitted initially via a form that is mailed to the HOA manager. They may request all final designs and environmental surveys before setting up follow-up meetings with the design board and your home builder.
If you try to gain City or county permits without HOA approval it can cause a setback in your timeline.
HOA reviews can take anywhere from a week to approve to a few months! The more information you share from the beginning can help this timeline be as short as possible.
2. Submit plans to city or county planning department
After you have HOA approval to move forward, if its needed, then its time for submitting your final plans to your city or county’s planning department.
All city or county’s will have different requirements so check what you will need to submit early on in the design process.
You will need to wait for the planning department to review and then they will submit your plans to the local building department.
3. Building Department Review
The building department will review your plans for any code violations.
They will closely review everything related to the structural, mechanical, and electrical design of your home. The more detailed the plans that you submit are, the less likely they will come back to you for additional information.
What is included in a set of Plans?
As mentioned above, all city or counties are different and may require different documents. However, most jurisdictions require multiple sets of plans to gain a permit.
Most city’s will require at least 4 sets of plans to be submitted for review. Each set should include the following documents:
1. Site Plans
The site plan is the overall design of your entire lot. It should include a diagram to scale of everything that will be located on or under your property. The following items should be noted in a site plan and drawn to scale:
- Setback dimensions
- locations of easements and driveways
- Lot boundaries
- property corner elevations
- footprint of proposed structures
- Location of any wells or septic systems
- surface draining
- location of utilities and storm water
- arrow pointing north
- landscape plans
Note: this is not a complete list. Please check with your specific permitting office for everything required.
2. Floor Plans
Floor plans are what most people think of when you say blueprints. These will be the top down view of each floor of the home including the roof plan.
All new builds will also need to show foundation plans. It should show the layout, dimensions and details of continuous concrete slabs, footings, reinforcing steel, and the strength of the concrete to be used.
3. Elevation Views
Building elevation drawings are scaled images of the exterior of the home. All sides need to be shown.
These drawings will include, at a minimum, the type of materials on the exterior, and window and door locations and sizes.
4. Cross Sections and Detailed Drawings
Section drawings are a way to show structural information. It will include the types of construction materials used to ensure all codes are being met.
Section drawings can also be referred to as cross sections. They are what you would see if you were to cut completely through a building from the top to the bottom.
These need to be drawn to scale just like all the other plans.
Simple projects may only need one cross section drawing, however, more complex projects may require multiple cross section drawings.
Is buying house plans online a good idea?
Buying a house plan online can be a good idea if you are looking to save some money in architecture costs. The downfall is you may be giving up some of your custom home dreams for an already planned design.
When you purchase a plan online pay attention to what comes in the set. You will also need to still have a local architect or engineer refine the plans for your specific location and lot.
Building codes vary between states and towns so there are some changes that may be needed despite purchasing completed plans.
Check with local architects to confirm their rates before purchasing anything online.
Additionally, your home builder may have already built plans that you can use for your new home.
This is an awesome choice because the builders are already familiar with how the build will go and they are most likely already built up to code. They will just need to be adjusted for your lot.
Can I design my own house plans?
Technically yes. you can draw your own house plan if you can draw straight lines and calculate correct measurements.
All drawings for permits will be required to be drawn to a specific scale.
You will need to still meet with professionals for structural engineering unless you already posses these specific skills.
If you are a hobby artist who has never built a house before, I would highly recommend using an architect and working with professionals. You can draw baseline plans for others to build off of for inspiration.
House plans are a common part of the construction design phase. If you’d like to learn about what else happens during this time, make sure to take a look at our article here.

Joel Coen Short Bio
Joel David Coen (November 29, 1954) and Ethan Jesse Coen (September 21, 1957), [n. 3] known professionally as the Coen brothers , are two American filmmakers who won four Oscars, two BAFTAs and one Golden Globe, among other recognitions.
His beginnings in the film industry date back to the early 1980s, when Joel worked as a mounting assistant on low-budget horror films and Ethan worked as a screenwriter on the Cagney & Police detective series. Lacey, meanwhile, began writing the screenplay of their directorial debut, the neo-noir thriller Blood Simple (1984), whose modest success at the box office and at the critical level managed to open the way for them and made them known as part of A new generation of independent directors, they have since worked together to write, produce, direct and assemble their own films. Due to their tendency to work together and their similar artistic vision, they have been referred to as the “double headed director” -two-headed director- Among his films are such titles as Miller’s Crossing (1990), Barton Fink (1991). ), Fargo (1996), The Great Lebowski (1998), O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000), The Man Who Was Not There (2001), No Country for Old Men (2007) and True Grit (2010). His films are characterized by combining genres, containing eccentric characters, complex plots, black humor, portraying violence,  and being influenced by literary sources  and genres of classical cinema -especially black cinema-.  Resources such as the genre mix and the influence of past cinema have led film theorists to consider the Coen films as examples of postmodern cinema.  Due to their characteristic style and the creative freedom they possess in their productions, the Coen have been described by some film critics as authors,  although they themselves reject that denomination.
Throughout a career that has spanned four decades, the Coens have been able to enthuse both the public and film critics. They have also been winners of multiple awards; One of his first most important recognitions was thanks to Barton Fink, a film for which they won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival. After the success of Fargo in 1996, they received several prizes, including the Cannes Film Festival Award for best director, the Oscar for the best original screenplay and BAFTA for the best director. Already entered the new millennium, they achieved excellent results with No Country for Old Men, for which they won three Oscars -including best film-, a Golden Globe, a BAFTA and several additional prizes.
