First generation: 1966–1967

Main article: Dodge Charger (B-body) § First generation

The Dodge Charger was introduced during the 1966 model year. It featured a two-door fastback body design and a four bucket seat interior. The intermediate-sized Charger shared components with the Coronet that also used the Chrysler B platform. The base engine was a 318 cu in (5.2 L) V8 with a three-speed floor shifter. Larger and more powerful engines were also available. Sales were low.

Second generation: 1968–1970

Main article: Dodge Charger (B-body) § Second generation

The Charger was redesigned for 1968, and sales increased. Based on the Chrysler B platform, the model years received various cosmetic changes to the exterior and interior including: an undivided grill, rounded tail lights, and hidden headlights. The powertrains were the same as the ones used in the 1967 Charger. The model was not successful in stock car racing such as NASCAR. A more aerodynamic shape formed the Charger 500 model that became the basis for the 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona.

Third generation: 1971–1974

Main article: Dodge Charger (B-body) § Third generation

The third generation Charger was introduced for the 1971 model year. Chrysler's B platform was modified to meet new emissions and safety regulations. Available in six different packages with cosmetic changes that include: a split grill, semi fastback rear window, and a ducktail spoiler. The 1973 and 1974 Chargers were very similar to the 1971 with minor differences in the grill and headlamps. The increase in sales was mostly due to the elimination of the Dodge Coronet, which meant Dodge offered the two-door intermediate-size body style only as the Charger.

Fourth generation: 1975–1977

Main article: Dodge Charger (B-body) § Fourth generation

The 1975 model year Charger was a badge engineered version of the Chrysler Cordoba coupe with a different grille and other small changes. Still using Chrysler's B platform, the new Charger was Dodge's attempt at moving the model into the growing personal luxury car market segment, and as consumer demand increased for smaller-sized vehicles after the 1973 oil crisis

Fifth generation: 1982–1987

 

1987 Dodge Charger "Shelby Edition"

Main article: Dodge Charger (L-body)

The Charger returned in 1982 as a subcompact hatchback coupe with front-wheel-drive, and a five-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission. This economy-type model was similar to the Dodge Omni 024, but with a slightly larger engine. The Charger was available with the NA 2.2l SOHC or a turbocharged 2.2l SOHC engine. Both engines could be specified with either transmission. A Shelby Charger was offered starting in 1983, with a turbo version available in 1984 producing 148 horsepower (110 kW) at 5600 rpm and 160 pound-feet (220 N·m) of torque at 3200 rpm. The engine was not intercooled and used a small t3 Garrett turbo. In 1985, the electronics were updated but power output was the same. In 1986, the electronics were further updated.

Good Friday

 

 

This article is about the religious observance. For the Northern Ireland peace deal, see Good Friday Agreement.

Good Friday is a Christian religious holiday commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his death at Calvary. The holiday is observed during Holy Week as part of the Paschal Triduum on the Friday preceding Easter Sunday, and may coincide with the Jewish observance of Passover. It is also known as Holy Friday, Great Friday, Black Friday,or Easter Friday, though the last term properly refers to the Friday in Easter week.
Based on the details of the canonical gospels, the Crucifixion of Jesus was most likely to have been on a Friday .The estimated year of the Crucifixion is AD 33, by two different groups, and originally as AD 34 by Isaac Newton via the differences between the Biblical and Julian calendars and the crescent of the moon. A third method, using a completely different astronomical approach based on a lunar Crucifixion darkness and eclipse model (consistent with Apostle Peter's reference to a "moon of blood" in Acts 2:20), points to Friday, 3 April AD 33^,
Good Friday is a widely-instituted legal holiday in many national governments around the world, including in most Western countries (especially among Catholic nations and majority-Catholic countries) as well as in 12 U.S. states. Some governments have laws prohibiting certain acts that are seen as profaning the solemn nature of the day.

sarukh khan

One of Bollywood’s most successful actors, Shahrukh Khan, has already signed three new movies for 2014. As he just released “Happy New Year,” he stars shooting his newest movie, “Fan,” but it appears that things had to come to a stop.
The cast and crew were spotted shooting for the upcoming by many onlookers and apparently things had to be delayed due to a fight on the sets. A spot boy and a security guard got involved in a violent argument while filming went on outside Mannat on Wednesday.
An insider stated that the fight resulted in a huge drama sequence.
“The film was being shot outside Mannat and every one was busy with the shoot and all of a sudden, the sets turned into a wrestling arena,” said a source who was on the sets. “There was this spot boy on the set who got indulged in a fight with a security guard present on the sets. We all had to intervene and stop the fight resulting into the delay of the shoot.”
A spokesperson for the production confirmed the news saying, “Yes, there was a minor argument during the shoot between two people. But it was amicably resolved.”
SRK previously described the idea behind “Fan” saying, “I liked the story of ‘Fan’ and it’s not like what has been mentioned on Twitter. I have never seen life from a point of someone who likes me. It would be very interesting for me to be on the other side. To be a fan, what does it mean felt like a good idea and it’s diametrically opposite to who I am so it would be very interesting.”
The actor started shooting for the film, but is keeping all the details under wraps. YRF is also constructing a replica of Khan’s Mannat home where they have his birthday scene for the film.
Khan will reportedly play a double role in the film as himself and a commoner named Rahul.
While he has worked with major actresses in the past, it looks like Khan is set to work with two new actresses.
During a press conference, the actor revealed some details about his next film, “Fan.”
“There are two girls in the film. It is a film where I don’t think you need a big lady star. it is cosy interesting, different film,” said Khan. “It is one of the challenging films that I have done in 20 years. We are still discussing as to how we can take it ahead. It is a story of a fan of a movie

Golden pheasant

The golden pheasant /Chinese pheasant, is a gamebird of the order Galliformes  and the family Phasianidae (pheasants). It is native to forests in mountainous areas of western China, but feral populations have been established in the United Kingdom and elsewhere. In England they may be found in East Anglia in the dense forest landscape of the Breckland.

The adult male is 90–105 cm in length, its tail accounting for two-thirds of the total length. It is unmistakable with its golden crest and rump and bright red body. The deep orange "cape" can be spread in display, appearing as an alternating black and orange fan that covers all of the face except its bright yellow eye with a pinpoint black pupil.

Males have a golden-yellow crest with a hint of red at the tip. The face, throat, chin, and the sides of neck are rusty tan. The wattles and orbital skin are both yellow in colour, and the ruff or cape is light orange. The upper back is green and the rest of the back and rump is golden-yellow. The tertiaries are blue whereas the scapulars are dark red. Other characteristics of the male plumage are the central tail feathers, black spotted with cinnamon, as well as the tip of the tail being a cinnamon buff. The upper tail coverts are the same colour as the central tail feathers. The male also has a scarlet breast, and scarlet and light chestnut flanks and underparts. Lower legs and feet are a dull yellow.

The female (hen) is much less showy, with a duller mottled brown plumage similar to that of the female common pheasant. She is darker and more slender than the hen of that species, with a proportionately longer tail (half her 60–80 cm length). The female's breast and sides are barred buff and blackish brown, and the abdomen is plain buff. She has a buff face and throat. Some abnormal females may later in their lifetime get some male plumage. Lower legs and feet are a dull yellow.

Both males and females have yellow legs and yellow bills.

Despite the male's showy appearance, these hardy birds are very difficult to see in their natural habitat, which is dense, dark young coniferforests with sparse undergrowth. Consequently, little is known about their behaviour in the wild.

They feed on the ground on grain, leaves and invertebrates, but they roost in trees at night. While they can fly, they prefer to run. If startled, they can suddenly burst upwards at great speed and with a distinctive wing sound.

Although they can fly in short bursts, they are quite clumsy in flight and spend most of their time on the ground. Golden pheasants lay 8-12 eggs at a time and will then incubate these for around 22–23 days. They tend to eat berries, grubs, seeds and other types of vegetation.

The male has a metallic call in the breeding season.

The golden pheasant is commonly found in zoos and aviaries, but often as hybrid specimens that have the similar Lady Amherst's pheasant in their lineage.

There are also different mutations of the golden pheasant known from birds in captivity, including the dark-throated, yellow, cinnamon, salmon, peach, splash, mahogany and silver. In aviculture, the wild type is referred to as "red golden" to differentiate it from these mutations

Audi cars

Audi AG pronounced  is a German automobile manufacturer that designs, engineers, produces, markets and distributes luxury automobiles. Audi oversees worldwide operations from its headquarters in Ingolstadt, Bavaria, Germany. Audi-branded vehicles are produced in nine production facilities worldwide.

Audi has been a majority owned (99.55%) subsidiary of Volkswagen Group since 1966, following a phased purchase of Audi AG's predecessor, Auto Union, from Daimler-Benz. Volkswagen relaunched the Audi brand with the 1965 introduction of the Audi F103series.

The company name is based on the Latin translation of the surname of the founder, August Horch. "Horch", meaning "listen" inGerman, becomes "audi" in Latin. The four rings of the Audi logo each represent one of four car companies that banded together to create Audi's predecessor company, Auto Union. Audi's slogan is Vorsprung durch Technik, meaning "Advancement through Technology". However, since 2007 Audi USA has used the slogan "Truth in Engineering".Audi is a member of the "German Big 3" luxury automakers, along with BMW and Mercedes-Benz, which are the three best-selling luxury automakers in the world.

Birth of the company and its name

Originally in 1885, automobile company Wanderer was established, later becoming a branch of Audi AG. Another company, NSU, which also later merged into Audi, was founded during this time, and later supplied the chassis for Gottlieb Daimler's four-wheeler.

On 14 November 1899, August Horch (1868–1951) established the company A. Horch & Cie. in the Ehrenfeld district of Cologne. Three years later in 1902 he moved with his company to Reichenbach im Vogtland. On May, 10th, 1904 he founded the August Horch & Cie. Motorwagenwerke AG, a joint-stock company in Zwickau .

After troubles with Horch chief financial officer, August Horch left Motorwagenwerke and founded in Zwickau on 16 July 1909, his second company, the August Horch Automobilwerke GmbH. His former partners sued him for trademark infringement. The German Reichsgericht (Supreme Court) in Leipzig, eventually determined that the Horch brand belonged to his former company.

Since August Horch was banned from using "Horch" as a trade name in his new car business, he called a meeting with close business friends, Paul and Franz Fikentscher from Zwickau, Germany. At the apartment of Franz Fikentscher, they discussed how to come up with a new name for the company. During this meeting, Franz's son was quietly studying Latin in a corner of the room. Several times he looked like he was on the verge of saying something but would just swallow his words and continue working, until he finally blurted out, Father –audiatur et altera pars... wouldn't it be a good idea to call it audi instead of horch ? "Horch!" in German means "Hark!" or "hear", which is "Audi" in the singular imperative form of "audire" – "to listen" – in Latin. The idea was enthusiastically accepted by everyone attending the meeting. On 25 April 1910 the Audi Automobilwerke GmbH Zwickau (from 1915 on Audiwerke AG Zwickau) was entered in the company's register of Zwickau registration court.

The first Audi automobile, the Audi Type A 10/22 hp (16 kW) Sport-Phaeton, was produced in the same year followed by the successorType B 10/28PS in the same year.

Audi started with a 2,612 cc inline-four engine model Type A, followed by a 3,564 cc model, as well as 4,680 cc and 5,720 cc models. These cars were successful even in sporting events. The first six-cylinder model Type M, 4,655 cc appeared in 1924.

August Horch left the Audiwerke in 1920 for a high position at the ministry of transport, but he was still involved with Audi as a member of the board of trustees. In September 1921, Audi became the first German car manufacturer to present a production car, the Audi Type K, with left-handed drive. Left-hand drive spread and established dominance during the 1920s because it provided a better view of oncoming traffic, making overtaking safer.

Baby Tige

Tiger  ist eine in Asien verbreitete GroBkatze. Er ist aufgrund seiner GröBe und des charakteristischen dunklen Streifenmusters auf goldgelbem bis rotbraunem Grund unverwechselbar. Es gibt acht bis neun Unterarten, die als Festlandsunterarten und Inselunterarten unterschieden werden. Die gröBten Unterschiede bestehen zwischen den kleinen, kontrastreichen Sumatratigern und den großen, eher blass gefärbten Sibirischen Tigern, auch als Amurtiger bezeichnet. Sumatratiger erreichen eine durchschnittliche Kopf-Rumpf-Länge von etwa 140 cm, eine Schwanzlänge von rund 60 cm und ein Gewicht von etwa 120 kg (Männchen) beziehungsweise 90 kg (Weibchen). Männliche Sibirische Tiger dagegen erreichen eine Kopf-Rumpf-Länge von bis zu 280 cm, besitzen einen rund 90 cm langen Schwanz und wiegen etwa 250 kg. Sibirische Tigerweibchen sind mit etwa 150 kg Körpergewicht allerdings deutlich kleiner als die Männchen. Damit ist diese Unterart nach dem Eisbären und Braunbären das gröBte landbewohnende Raubtier. Als typische Unterarten, die im Erscheinungsbild zwischen diesen Extremen stehen, können der indische Bengaltiger und der Indochinesische Tiger gelten. Ursprünglich stellte der heute ausgestorbene Balitiger die kleinste Unterart dar.

Tiger leben in der Regel einzelgängerisch und ernähren sich in erster Linie von größeren Huftieren. Dabei bewohnen sie unterschiedlichste Lebensräume, wie tropische Regenwälder, Grasländer, Sumpfgebiete oder boreale Wälder. Ursprünglich war der Tiger vom Kaukasus und dem Fernen Osten Russlands über Ost-China, den indischen Subkontinent und Hinterindienbis Sumatra, Java und Bali verbreitet. Heute ist er aus groBen Teilen seines ehemaligen Verbreitungsgebietes verschwunden und drei Unterarten sind bereits ausgestorben. Insgesamt gibt es Schätzungen zufolge noch 3000 bis 5000 wildlebende Tiger, die nun größtenteils auf isolierte Schutzgebiete beschränkt sind. Die Art wird von der IUCN als „stark gefährdet“ (Endangered) eingestuft.
