327 goes into… just about everything: Part 3. Avanti II, 1965. When Studebaker stopped making the Avanti on December 20, 1963 local Studebaker dealer bought the model name, tooling and production rights. They restarted manufacture of the Raymond Loewy designed Avanti choosing to power it with a 300hp version of Chevrolet's 327ci small block V8.

The Studebaker Avanti has to be the coolest cobbled together car in history. Made using off the shelf parts and a stunning Raymond Loewy designed body the Avanti was a Hail Mary for Studebaker to remain in business. The prayer was not answered and Studebaker was out of business with a few years. The Avanti's good looks were backed up with performance as it was called "the fastest production car in the world" upon its introduction. A modified Avanti reached over 170 mph with its supercharged 289-cubic-inch R3 engine at the Bonneville Salt Flats. In all, it broke 29 World Speed Records. Following Studebaker's discontinuation of the model, a succession of five ventures manufactured and marketed derivatives of the Avanti model through 2006.

Sempre stata brava ad esserci per gli altri nei momenti di bisogno senza ascoltare i miei di sentimenti, ignorando il mio cuore. Vorrei essere, per una volta sola egoista e pensare a me perché ora sono io la persona che ha bisogno di ME.

[attimi-sfuggenti]

Ho questa brutta abitudine di non farmi mai conoscere fino in fondo. Come se quel che rimane ignoto agli altri sarà ciò che mi salverà quando loro decideranno di ferirmi.

Shishunaga Dynasty

The Shishunaga Dynasty (also Sishunaga/Shaishunaga Dynasty) ruled the Magadha Kingdom in ancient India from c. 413 BCE to c. 345 BCE (in some sources from 421 BCE). It is said to be the third imperial dynasty of Magadha after the Brihadratha and the Haryanka, though the Brihadratha Dynasty is considered as mythical now. The first ruler of the dynasty was Shishunaga himself after whom it has been named, who came to power when the people revolted against the earlier Haryanka Dynasty in the 5th century BCE. The Shishunaga Dynasty had a very short reign before it was succeeded by the Nandas and then the Mauryas, but it too contributed to the solid foundation of the Magadhan Empire which was to dominate the Indian subcontinent for the upcoming centuries.

India Before the Shishunagas

After the Vedic civilization took its roots in the Indian subcontinent from around 1500 BCE, various political units rose in northern and northwestern India. This changed from the 6th century BCE onwards when some kingdoms rose to the east in the fertile Indo-Gangetic plains. During this time, the Indian subcontinent formed mainly into two political units – the Janapadas (which roughly means foothold of the common people) and the Mahajanapadas (the greater foothold of the people). There were 16 Mahajanapadas, and in the 6th century BCE, four out of them became very powerful – Kosala, Avanti, Vatsa, and finally Magadha. The ancient kingdom of Kosala falls roughly to some parts of the present-day Uttar Pradesh state in India. Avanti was Central India and now the states of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, and Vatsa was also another part of modern Uttar Pradesh state.

The most powerful of them was Magadha, which would go on to dominate the entire subcontinent during the time of the Mauryas. All the polities close to Magadha except Avanti were defeated in battle and gradually annexed by the warrior king of Ajatashatru (r. c. 493/492 BCE - c. 462/460 BCE) of the Haryanka Dynasty. He also defeated the powerful confederation of the Vrijjis to the immediate north with their capital at Vaishali after 16 years of ancient Indian warfare from c. 484 BCE to c. 468 BCE. By the time Shishunaga ascended to the throne, Magadha, roughly corresponding to the present-day provinces of Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Odisha, West Bengal, and the countries of Bangladesh and Nepal, had a very effective system of administration and government, a powerful army and a flourishing trade network.
