Mariam Petrosyan, is most well known as the author of the award-winning novel The Gray House.Mariam Petrosyan was born in 1969 in Yerevan, the capital of Armenia. After finishing an art college she became a cartoonist at the Studio of Armenfilm. Later she moved to Moscow to work at Soyuzmultfilm, but came back to Yerevan in 1995 and returned to Armenfilm.
🔹 The House, which sits overlooked on the outskirts of town, is a boarding school for disabled young adults. Isolated from the Outsides, the residents of the House are enmeshed in a carefully constructed world of unspoken rules and thorny histories. The meandering narrative moves back and forth in time, alternating narrators and tenses, to paint an intricate portrait of a social order that appears ultimately dictated by an unknown force, understood by its inhabitants to be the House itself. When student deaths begin to pile up over the course of the narrative, readers can identify with newcomer Smoker as he tries to understand the mysteries of the House and the source of its power over its inhabitants.....Mariam Petrosyan rips up the rule book, presenting a highly original and energetic novel that will give the reader an insight into a world that is seldom presented.
...
🔹 I genuinely, enjoyed this book. This is absolutely my sort of novel. I loved the characters, I loved the structure, and I loved the surreal sense of mysticism and deep unease that permeated the whole of the House. I loved the whimsy, I loved the quirkiness, and I loved the constant uncertainty.

🔹 In terms of genre, this is an excellent example of weird, surreal, quirky, slice of life fantasy with a dose of magical realism...*The house, it emerges, has hidden dimensions

Musk Says Tesla Motorcycle Won't Happen...Ever.....Tesla Electric Motorcycle The Model M Four wheels good, two wheels bad.....Tesla intends to make quite a range of vehicles. It already has a couple different sedans in the Model S and Model 3, along with the Model X SUV. A crossover, the Model Y, is now on the way for 2020, as is the Semi and its second sportscar, the Roadster. CEO Elon Musk has already said they would build a pickup truck as well. What it won't be building, though, is a motorcycle like the Tesla Model M..*This is a bit of a shame. Electric motorcycles are awesome

So, why won't Musk extend some of that sales magic to motorcycles? We now have a definitive answer to that question. At the recent Tesla annual shareholder meeting, he was asked by an audience member, "Has Tesla ever thought about going into the motorcycle business?" The entrepreneur responded with an autobiographical anecdote. Apparently, Musk had enjoyed dirt biking for around eight years as a lad, and even had a road bike. But, when he was 17 he was almost killed by a truck and, he explained, this apparently forever ended any fascination he might have had with riding motorized bikes.....Prototype On The Back Burner For Now.
... It's too bad, though.Two-wheeled vehicles are an efficient way of getting around and the Tesla brand could easily extend over an entire range of products, from street bikes to scooters to electric bicycles.Almost everyone that has a bike has had falls and close calls.....Get back on the Iron Horse.

Before you think that they hacked up some new 800-horsepower 2019 Dodge Challenger HellCat Redeye, think again.

Now the vehicle, will be saved in the FCA historical achieves after the holiday. The design studio sculpted many things into the Redeye to make sure it not only had Dodge DNA ,but made sure that Santa could deliver his toys in fast, speedy and fashionable manner.

When it comes to automakers redesigning Santa's venerable sleigh, Dodge isn't the first OEM to take a crack at it, but it may have created a sleigh that can't be topped or beaten in a drag race.

Carroll Shelby’s Own Series 1 Is the Spiritual Successor to the Cobra
🔹 Every gearhead knows the name Carroll Shelby. He’s a legend in his own right and his name’s been slapped on everything from countless Mustangs to the iconic Cobra.However, during his lifetime, Shelby and his company only ever built one car from the ground up, the *Shelby Series 1.

🔹 This supercharger brought power up to an eye-watering 600 bhp at 6,500 rpm – making the car a genuine weapon on the street or track. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed ZF gearbox. *0-60 time is now just 3.2 seconds – well into supercar territory.



... 🔹 Recent news emerged that the Series 1 may be returning in the guise of the Shelby Series 2, with a slew of upgrades but much the same styling as its forebear. We can only hope that the launch of the new car runs smoothly – and perhaps leads to a renaissance in appreciation for its elder sibling.

What do you get when you cross a snake with a hog the....*Shelby Series 1 Motorcycle
Legendary driver and car designer Carroll Shelby was taking orders for his new Series 1 automobiles, and one of the options they developed was the ability to add this matching Shelby Titan Custom motorcycle to an automobile order. Each bike has an identical VIN to the matching automobile, which in this case is, an immaculate Series 1 X50. 🔹 Only 5 matching pairs were ever built, making this an incredible opportunity to collect 2 very rare vehicles that are certainly worth a bunch more if kept together.

Have a great weekend.......Stay safe my friend.

Gorilla Racer...... A Honda Monkey 125 with attitude
✯ K-Speed is one of the busiest shops in the business, turning out customs at a head-spinning rate. That’s because they’re also one of Thailand’s largest aftermarket parts suppliers, so they know a thing or two about production.

✯ That being said, we’ve never seen K-Speed build the same type of bike twice. Until now, that is. This Honda Monkey-based mini-cafe racer is a twist on a minimoto but with a few tasty enhancements.

✯ Even though most of K-Speed’s changes have trimmed the already small Monkey down further, they went in the opposite direction with the fuel tank. It’s been given a super-sized look. Gorilla Racer’s final color scheme hits the mark too, Lambo grey, with a whole lot of components blacked out.

Bugatti Is Building a $33,000 Car for Kids..................🔹The Bugatti Baby II
🔹The Bugatti Baby II is a 75-percent scale replica of the 1924 Type 35 Lyon Grand Prix car. Which means that there's actually room for adults to drive this thing too, an adjustable pedal box facilitates driver swaps between masters of the universe and their progeny.

🔹In child mode, the Bugatti Baby II has 1.3 hp and a range of 12.4 mph. Adult mode unlocks 5.4 hp and 28 mph. But some versions will have a *speed key that enables 13.4 hp and kills the speed limiter. The removable battery pack is 1.4 kWh but can be upgraded to 2.8 kWh, for those buyers with really long driveways *the larger battery gives about 19 miles of range.

... 🔹There are three versions of the car, to ensure that even some of these people will still experience envy. The Baby II is the standard car with a composite body. That's your everyday $33,000 go-kart. But if your parents really loved you, they'd at least spring for the Baby II Vitesse, which has a carbon fiber body and comes with the speed key.

The 1960 Porsche 356 RSR From *Emory Motorsports
◆ Rod Emory is a legend in the Porsche game, so when he's got a new build, you know it's going to be worthy of an in-depth look. His 356 RSR is no exception to the rule

◆ Combining a 1960 Porsche 356B T5 with a 1990 Porsche 964 C2 is no easy task. For one, the wheelbases are different. But for Emory Motorsports, the challenge was minimal considering the team has experience imitating Dr. Frankenstein. Together, the two are now the 1960 Porsche 356 RSR, a hot rod Porsche with menacing looks and insane performance.

Added features include the added louvers, stainless steel mesh grille, and intercooler inserts in the steel section of the rear fenders.

...1932 Indian Chief
✴The Chief was introduced as Indian’s heavyweight competitor to Harley-Davidson and lasted for 31 years. In 1922, 21 years after the company began building bikes, Indian launched the Chief with a 61 cubic inch flathead V-twin. Although a larger 74 cubic inch bike, called the Big Chief, was an option.

✴Indian remained faithful to the principle of a flathead, and in doing so escaped some of the pitfalls that Harley-Davidson encountered in their efforts with overhead valve designs.

✴The Indian was actually rather unconventional, with its left-hand twist grip (apparently so that policemen would be able to use their pistols with their right hand), a foot clutch, hand shift and the ignition advance controlled by the right handlebar grip. A 3-speed gearbox was standard, but a *Police Package 4-speed gearbox and a reverse gear were options.

1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 Fastback
*The Boss 429 also known as the "Boss" by enthusiasts is arguably one of the rarest and most valued muscle cars from the era. In total there were 1358 original Boss 429s made. For a two year run,1969 & 1970. The origin of the Boss 429 came about as Ford was seeking to develop a Hemi engine that could compete with the famed 426 Hemi from Chrysler..Boss Delivered Well Over 500 Horsepower.

🔹The Boss 429 engine was derived from the Ford 385 engine. It used four-bolt mains, a forged steel crank and forged steel connecting rods. The engine featured aluminum cylinder heads, with a modified Hemi type combustion chamber which Ford called "crescent". These heads used the "dry-deck" method, meaning no head gaskets were used. Each cylinder, oil passage and water passage had an individual "O" ring style seal to seal it tight. The Boss 429 engine used a single Holley 4-barrel carburetor rated at 735 CFM mounted on an aluminum intake manifold that flowed well for its time.
... 🔹 Though not originally offered as an option, it is common to add a spoiler and window louvers commonly seen on 1969–1970 Mach 1's and Boss 302's.
