For those who love motorcycles, it is more than likely that many bicycle fans will own a Benelli model. Indeed, the brand has more than a hundred years of history to its credit and a proud and established reputation.

His website boasts that Benelli talks about “heritage, emotion and intelligence†that have become legendary due to decades of revolutionary designs, advanced technologies, triumphs and famous riders.

Benelli motorcycles tend to be sporty, and every rider will often find a bike that meets their requirements. Most people who know motorcycles tend to know a Benelli model when they see one. They are renowned for their attractive designs and unmistakable sporty look. The most innovative design concepts are implemented in all models of the Pesaro company due to the expertise of its R&D center.

In 2005, Qianjiang Group (QJ), the largest Chinese group in terms of size and manufacturing capacity in the motorcycle world, purchased Benelli. Its production reaches 1.2 million vehicles per year and it has 14,000 employees. But Benelli has retained his approach which combines Italian ingenuity, style and engineering with QJ’s business approach and global vision. All-new models still carry Benelli’s DNA and story, celebrating the company’s original appearance, innovation and brand strength.

Before 2005, Benelli had an incredible story. Let’s take a look back at the brand and see what readers already know about it and what they don’t already know about it.

The emergence of Benelli

As already mentioned, Benelli is an Italian motorcycle manufacturing company. It was founded in 1911 in Pesaro, Italy. When Teresa Benelli became a widow, she invested all of her money in a business so that her six sons could get decent work. Two of these sons also went to Switzerland to study engineering, all at Teresa’s expense. At first it was called Benelli Garage and the company dealt with the repair of motorcycles and cars, and it could also produce the spare parts needed for these repairs.

Money Inc. pointed out that Benelli not only produced bicycles but also shotguns, and the Benelli family linked up with the Beretta Gun Company to make automobiles. The prototype they created was called Beretta, Benelli Casterbarco.

Over time, they have gained a reputation for being excellent manufacturers and sort of engineers. The Benelli brothers came up with their first engine that was produced entirely in-house in 1920. It was a 75cc two-stroke single-cylinder engine and it was modified into a bicycle frame. A year later, the company built its first motorcycle, based on the 75 CC engine, which turned into 98 CC.

Benelli then decided to enter motorsport in 1923 and sent Tonino Benelli to the track to ride a racing version of the company’s first motorcycle. Tonino quickly became a star within a few years and used his Benelli 175 to win the Italian championship in 1927, 1928, 1930 and 1931. He then won again in 1932 only to tragically die in a traffic accident that year. .

The post-war era of Benelli motorcycles

World War II brought bad luck to Benelli despite the fact that they presented a supercharged four-cylinder 250 CC in 1940. But the start of the conflict hampered their plans. Their production continued until 1949.

1949 should have been a great year for the Italian motorcycle manufacturer, but Giuseppe Benelli left the company and founded Motobi. But their fate changed in the 1950s when they started selling Leoncino 98 CC and 125 CC bikes, available in both two-stroke and four-stroke. And then there was the Tornado 650, an impressive motorcycle capable of generating 57 hp and reaching a top speed of 17 mph. At the time, this was considered remarkable. Business boomed until the 1960s, when Benelli and Motobi were able to manufacture around 300 motorcycles and had a total of 550 employees by 1962.

The 1970s were a difficult time for the world economically, and Benelli stopped production because they were unable to compete with the arrival of Japanese motorcycles from Yamaha, Suzuki and Honda in the European market. Business was quiet until 1995, when the Italian bicycle maker underwent a transformation under Andrea Merloni. He developed the Tornado 900 Tre super sport bike in 2002, but that was not enough for the company to survive as they were eventually acquired by QJ a few years later.

Benelli’s story has been a mixture of good and bad luck, but they have succeeded and with QJ’s help, they will likely maintain their established reputation for years to come.

About the Author

A version of this story about “Luca” first appeared in the special animation section of the awards preview issue of awards magazine TheWrap.

Pixar’s “Luca” is charming and understated. It’s the story of a pair of sea monsters, Luca (Jacob Tremblay) and Alberto (Jack Dylan Grazer), who transform into humans when they crawl out of the water. They visit a nearby human village, make new friends and dream of owning a Vespa. That’s really it. But its simplicity, especially for a Pixar movie, coupled with a striking art style, feels downright groundbreaking.

Unsurprisingly, it took a long time to polish such a stripped-back style, according to director Enrico Casarosa. Casarosa, who directed the charming Pixar short “La Luna” in 2011 and has become a mainstay of the so-called Pixar braintrust that looms over every new production, began shaping a vague idea for “Luca” in 2016. The version initial, he said, was for a return to Italy.

“It was a bit about my daughter and me and her being half Italian, and the issue of immigration – wanting to fit in, maybe forgetting a bit where your roots are from,” said Casarosa said. “And the new generation is sometimes more interested in that part of that identity.”

As the story evolved, the emphasis shifted from a parental relationship to a friendship (and the sea monsters entered as well). “It became a whole different personal story,” Casarosa said. “Not about my daughter and me, but about my best friend and me.” (And, yes, his best friend was also called Alberto.)

An earlier version of “Luca” did not end with a bicycle race, but with a giant Kraken destroying most of the city of Portorosso. “When we tried them, the story that we all cared about was the relationship,” he said. “He wanted to be smaller.” Casarosa admitted that he always gets notes asking if he can enlarge it. His answer ? “Remember, we want an intimate film.”

The film’s shaping process became easier when, during production, former Pixar bigwig John Lasseter left the studio and was replaced by Pete Docter, the soft-spoken filmmaker behind “Inside Out” and “Soul”. “(Lasseter) had great instincts but it was a bit more dogmatic,” Casarosa said. “You would feel like I have to.” Casarosa found himself more “honest” with Docter and in turn felt more supported. “Pete embraced my vibe,” he said.

Docter was also instrumental in allowing Casarosa to experience the film’s handcrafted, almost stop-motion style, inspired by Aardman’s films and the work of Hayao Miyazaki. “It was a bit 2D inspired, but still immersive,” he said. “I didn’t want it to interfere with the story or the moment.”

Salesians end 75 years in Goa

Cedric Silveira

It was in 1946 that the Salesians of Don Bosco first landed in Goa with the arrival of three Italian pioneers, the late Fr Vincent Scuderi (the founder), the late Fr Joseph Carreno (the builder) and the late Father Joseph Moja. Today, 75 years later, looking back, one can only thank God for bringing the Salesians to Goa where they created an indelible impact on the lives of young people, the poor and the marginalized.

No one will ever know what Fr Scuderi dreamed the night he arrived in Panjim, April 4, 1946. I wonder if he envisioned the extent of Salesian work that would spread throughout Goa. It is said that the day after he arrived, he enthusiastically pumped his football which he had bought in Bombay and started bouncing it in front of the house. The boys gladly came to play and with the few Portuguese words he knew, he started an Oratory. With the help of Brother Cajetan Lobo and local help, he then started a Portuguese primary school. To overcome his dilemma of how to make people aware of their activities, Father Scuderi started a monthly magazine or newsletter called Oratorio Salesiano and a weekly in Konkani called Aitarachem Vachop.

However, the first mission of the Salesians was to acquire land on which to build an Oratory for their activities with young people, a Sanctuary and a school. With the help of government authorities, they acquired about 40,000 square meters of land in Panjim where presently there is a magnificent shrine, a magnificent school, a university building, an oratory and extensive playgrounds. The chapel in honor of Our Lady of Fatima was built in 1949, however, it was in 1972 that the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fatima was built in the Gothic style and Italian design. This year, it celebrates 50 years since its creation. The English school of Don Bosco, Panjim was inaugurated in June 1947 with 36 pupils and three teachers. Father Moja was the manager. In 1970 the evening school was started and seeing the need for a higher secondary school, the Higher Secondary Junior College was started in the year 1995. In 2001 the BCA course was started and in 2004 the course BPEd was also introduced. Today the college also offers BBA, BBA (T&T), BAMC and BSW/MSW courses.

From Panjim the Salesians moved on to other parts of Goa. In 1962, an agricultural school and a boarding school in Sulcorna were created. Then in 1973, a technical school, a mass center and an oratory were created in Fatorda. Today, it has an engineering school with four successful courses.

Later in 1987 a major mass center started for the people of Odxel. In addition to work for the young people of the village, there was a retirement and entertainment center on the edge of Odxel beach. It was in addition to the Animation Center and the Benaulim Youth Center in the same year. Today, the provincial house stands in Odxel. In addition, in 1990, a parish, a school and a boarding school were established in Tuem. And in 1994, in Loutulim, the Don Bosco Technical Institute where the professions of steel fabrication, carpentry and electrical repairs are dispensed, was born.

In 2004, a vice-province was formed, which in 2007 became the full province of Panjim (Konkan). Currently, the province comprises two houses in Maharashtra, ten houses in Goa and six houses in Karnataka. Institutes grouping schools, high schools, colleges, open schools, activity centers, technical centers, youth centres, village development programs, agricultural training school and orientation centres.

Looking back, Don Bosco, Odxel was just a hut that served as a picnic spot for boarders and confreres from Panjim, while Don Bosco’s land, Sulcorna was dense jungle. It took the Herculean efforts of the Salesians to transform these places into what they are today.

Reverend Father Scuderi’s entrepreneurial spirit, which began only with his barracks, a dilapidated bicycle and a typewriter – coupled with the Stentorian and dedicated efforts of the group that followed him to Goa, has without any doubt sowed the seeds of a rich harvest. However, if we go back in time, the fact remains that the enthusiasm and support of people to accept the Salesian works played an equally important role in helping them get to where they are today. today.

On September 6, to commemorate the end of 75 years (diamond jubilee) of Salesian presence in Goa, 75 years of the school of Panjim and 50 years of the Sanctuary of Panjim, there will be a Mass which will be celebrated by the successor of Don Bosco and the Rector Major of the Congregation, Rev. Father Angel Fernandez Artime. The following day will be the installation ceremony of the Rev. Br Clive Telles as the fourth Provincial of the Province of Panjim. He succeeds Fr. Felix Fernandes, who served a six-year term as Provincial of the Province of Panjim-Konkan. Fr Clive, currently Director of DBSSS, Panjim, has served as Vice Provincial for the past three years. It is certainly a moment of pride and joy for all students, teachers, alumni and supporters of Don Bosco institutions across Goa.

Romain Bardet (Team DSM) won stage 3 of the Vuelta a Burgos, crossing the line solo, with Domenico Pozzovivo (Team Qhubeka NextHash) (www.TeamQhubeka.com) leading the chase group home and taking 2nd place, Mikel Landa (Bahrain-Victorious) finished 3rd.

Stage 3 of the Vuelta a Burgos presented the first real test to the contenders for the general classification as the riders had to face the famous climb of Picon Blanco. The full stage covered 173 km, Picon Blanco culminating at just 18 km from the finish, followed by a technical descent to the line.

An early breakaway went well in the first kilometers of the stage, but the peloton had no problem controlling the gap, ensuring that the breakaways were caught on the climb.

Ineos-Grenadiers and EF-Education picked up the pace on the lower slopes of the climb, but it was an acceleration from Fabio Aru that really put the pressure, resulting in a refinement of the main group. Giro d’Italia winner Egan Bernal (Ineos-Grenadiers) then tried to control the pace of their protected rider Pavel Sivakov, but new attacks soon followed.

Aru and Pozzovivo rode well in tandem, following the movements until only 11 riders remained in contention 3 km from the top of the climb. It became quite tactical on the last kilometers uphill but it was Bardet who launched a revealing attack just before the summit and took a 15 ‘gap.

Pozzovivo was part of the first chase group with three other riders, Landa (Bahrain-Victorious), Nieve (Bike-Exchange) and Bouchard (AG2R Citroën), at the start of the descent. Aru followed a few seconds behind in the 2nd chase group.

Bardet came down like a rocket and extended his lead to 35 ″ over the Pozzovivo pursuit group. There was a big scare for Pozzovivo when Bouchard crashed in front of him in one of the many corners, but our Italian managed to stay upright and resumed the chase.

Bardet also slipped very close to the bottom of the descent but wasted hardly any time with an impressive and quick comeback. The Frenchman kept his gap on the line, winning a very good stage victory. Pozzovivo led the 3-rider home pursuit group to take 2nd place on the stage.

Aru would end up in the next group of chasers, just 11 ″ behind the Pozzovivo group, and sprint in 7th place on the stage. The solid performances of our Italian duo allowed Pozzovivo to climb to 3rd place in the general classification and Aru to 4th.

Domenico Pozzovivo
“Today was a stage that suited me better than the first two windy stages. On the last climb we did a good job, with Fabio it’s only Bardet who took Landa and me to the top and we know he’s very strong on the descent. I tried to avoid taking too many risks on the descent. Me, Landa and Nieve tried to get back to Bardet but he was very strong, even on the flat. Finally, I was happy to finish 2nd with a good sprint because it is not my best skill. We are now confidently awaiting our form for the last mountain stage and also for the Vuelta a Espana. “

Pozzovivo takes 2nd place in Burgos stage 3 – Aru also impresses as the Italian duo climb the GC (1)

Africanews provides APO Group content as a service to its readers, but does not edit the articles it publishes.

Ducati’s motorcycle experts have released a new foldable electric bike with a magnesium frame to reduce weight – and it costs a lot less than you might expect.

the Ducati MG20 weighs 20.6 kg according to eBikeTips, and is available to order for € 1,599 (approx. $ 1,900 / £ 1,400 / AU $ 2,500). This makes it one of the most affordable folding electric bikes on the market, which is a surprise given the materials – as well as the prestige of the Ducati name.

Ducati is no stranger to electric bikes. The Italian company launched the MIG-RR Electric mountain bike in 2019, and released three folding aluminum electric bikes in 2020. He’s also been working with magnesium since 2018 when he released his first bike with magnesium forged wheels, so it’s no surprise his engineers decided to combine the two.

Folding bikes are notoriously heavy due to the need for sturdy and durable locking hinges and thicker tubes that keep the bike stiff and safe to use. This weight is all the more noticeable when they are compacted and cannot be shouldered like a regular diamond frame bicycle. Folding e-bikes are even heavier due to the need for a battery, so anything that can reduce a few pounds is a welcome improvement.

That said, the Ducati MG20 is not the lightest folding electric bike on the market. The MiRider One weighs only 17.2 kg including battery, so even lighter and more user-friendly backrests can be developed in the future.

A more practical ride?

We are also curious to see how the electric assistance will work with the Ducati MG20. E-bikes typically offer multiple levels of electric assistance that adjust the output of the motor, but the MG20 operates differently, with speed options that limit assistance to 7.5mph, 11mph, or 15.5mph respectively.

Ducati explains that the bike’s motor will automatically adjust according to the road surface, incline and force on the pedals, much like the Cowboy 4, which recently took first place in our ranking. of the best electric bikes of 2021.

It will be interesting to see how this affects the riding experience, especially since promotional photos for the MG20 appear to show a shifter on the right handlebar grip. This suggests that the rider will have control over the gearing of the bike, which could result in a more natural ride for experienced riders than the Cowboy’s hands-off approach.

The European Union (EU) Delegation to the Philippines and the Embassies of EU Member States, in collaboration with Cultúr Éireann, the Irish Film Institute, the Goethe Institut Manila, the Filipino-Italian Association and the Instituto Cervantes of Manila, recently celebrated the opening of Cine Europa 25th Anniversary Edition at SM Seaside City Cebu Big Screen Cinema. Cebu has been one of the film festival’s pioneering host cities since Cine Europa was first introduced outside of Manila in 2001.

For 25 years, Cine Europa has been the flagship cultural event of the Delegation of the European Union to the Philippines. Beyond the screening of European films, the oldest festival in the country has become a platform to strengthen EU-Philippines cultural relations and collaboration with Filipino cultural institutions and partners.

This year, thirty award-winning films from Europe have been specially programmed for the Silver Anniversary Showcase and will follow a hybrid format. Cinephiles can register at www.cineeuropaph.com to enjoy the festival online or on-site at partner venues until October 28.

“Cinema is deeply rooted in European culture, which we are very proud of,” said Dr Ana Isabel Sanchez Ruiz, Deputy Head of the EU Delegation to the Philippines, who graced the opening of the festival. “It reflects our identity and says a lot about our heritage and who we are,” joined Dr Sanchez Ruiz, accompanied by Nicole Weisman, wife of EU Ambassador Luc Veron, and festival partners, including SM Prime Holdings Vice President Marissa Fernan and the Arts Council of Dr. Vivina Chiu-Yrastorza, President of the Cebu Foundation. Members of Cebu’s diplomatic corps, arts and culture community, businesses, universities and media also attended the launch.

Guests were seen enjoying the festival’s opening film Páfsi (Pause), a Cypriot and Greek drama centering on a middle-aged woman and the fantasy world she uses to escape the misery of the world real – and what happens when the lines between fantasy and reality start to blur.

The film is directed by Cypriot Tonia Mishiali, whose work focuses on women’s and social issues.

Cebuanos also had a rare opportunity to watch other Cine Europa offerings at SM Seaside City Cebu’s big screen cinema. These included Sanremo, from Slovenia and Italy; Libertad (Freedom), from Spain; Mysi Patri Do Nebe (Even Mice Belong in Heaven), from the Czech Republic, France, Slovakia and Poland; Kapsalon Romy (Romy’s Salon) from the Netherlands and Germany; and Bicycle Thieves: Pumped Up, from Ireland.

The lineup also included Nematoma (Invisible) from Lithuania, Latvia, Ukraine and Spain; Lola Vers La Mer (Lola) from Belgium and France; Aatos Ja Amine (Gods of Molenbeek), from Finland, Belgium and Germany; Las Niñas (schoolgirls) from Spain; Marina, from Belgium; A Triumph (The Big Hit), from France; Seltsimes Laps (The Little Comrade), from Estonia; and Dating Amber, from Ireland.

MISSION, USA – (Family Features) Setting the stage for success in the classroom starts with reliable morning routines the whole family can rely on. Making a plan for each day before you leave for work or school is beneficial for staying on time and organized, and many families’ mornings start with a nutritious breakfast.

This school year, add better-for-you breakfast recipes like orange oatmeal or an orange berry smoothie to the menu. These morning meals are powered by 100% orange juice, a delicious option that helps fuel the body with essential nutrients that support a healthy immune system and overall quality nutrition with no added sugar.

“A growing number of research studies have found that children who regularly drink 100% orange juice have higher intakes of key nutrients, higher quality diets, and may have healthier lifestyle habits, such as higher levels of physical activity than children who don’t drink orange juice,” said Dr. Rosa Walsh, director of scientific research at the Florida Department of Citrus.

“Study after study confirms that 100% orange juice not only has a place in children’s diets, but can also serve as an easy way for parents to provide key nutrients without fear of adverse effects on body weight when served in moderation.”

Consider these nutritional benefits of Florida Orange Juice, “the original feel-good drink.”

Power quality

Since 1 cup of 100% orange juice counts as 1 cup of fruit, it’s an easy way to contribute to your children’s fruit intake. A favorite with kids, it’s a nutrient-dense drink that helps boost intake of key nutrients, including vitamin C, folate, thiamin, magnesium, potassium and, in fortified juices, vitamin D and calcium.

Immune Support

When combined with a healthy lifestyle, Florida orange juice contains vitamin C, vitamin D (in fortified juices) and phytonutrients (natural plant compounds) and can help support the system immune.

• Vitamin C – Commonly associated with helping to maintain and support a healthy immune system by protecting cells and promoting cell production and function. A 6-8 ounce glass of JO is an excellent source.
• Vitamin D – Plays an important role in regulating the immune response and helps cells fight bacteria and viruses that enter the body. A 6-8 ounce glass of fortified JO is a good source.
• Plant compounds, flavonoids and colored carotenoids – Work to support the immune system by helping to fight inflammation and helping cells communicate with each other, which can help boost the immune response to infection.

No added sugar

Unlike foods and beverages that contain added sugars, the natural sugar in 100% orange juice contains vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients. As one of nature’s nutrient-dense foods, orange juice is a convenient way to boost whole fruit intake and meet daily recommendations. Additionally, it can be used as a substitute for nutrient-poor foods and beverages, such as sugary drinks, in the diets of children and adults.
