Fricourt is a village that was fought over in July 1916, during the Battle of the Somme, which took place in France during the First World War. Fricourt is  from Albert, north of Bray and west of Mametz, near the D 938 road and at the junction of the D 147 with the D 64. The village is  north-east of Amiens and on the route of the Albert–Péronne light railway. Fricourt Wood was north-east of the village, with a château on the edge of the village and a number of craters, known as the Tambour ( to the Germans) on the west side. Fricourt formed a salient in the German front-line and was the principal German fortified village between the River Somme and the Ancre.

The ground sloped south-west from Bazentin ridge, divided by Willow Stream, which rose in Trônes Wood and flowed past the ends of the Mametz and Fricourt spurs. The stream was the inner boundary of the 7th Division on the right and the 21st Division on the left, of the XV Corps. German fortification of the area around Mametz and Fricourt had created a web of trenches  deep behind the front-line trench, which was irregular making many angles from which an attacker could be engaged.

On 24 June 1916, the artillery preparation began for the Anglo-French offensive; the Fricourt area was subjected to several British gas attacks during the bombardment. Several mines were detonated just before  on 1 July, when British infantry attack on the German defences either side of the village began. By the end of 1 July, the village had been enveloped on three sides and during the night, the German garrison withdrew towards the second position. British patrols reported the retirement overnight and at noon on 2 July, troops of the 17th Division occupied the village and captured Fricourt Wood in the mid-afternoon.

The 28th (Baden) Reserve Division, which held the front from Montauban to Fricourt and Ovillers, was saved from destruction by reinforcements from the 10th Bavarian Division. The 3rd Guard Division was hurried forward from Valenciennes, to hold the ground in front of the second position and British attacks began on Shelter and Bottom woods up the slope towards Contalmaison. XV Corps had more than  on 1 July, of which the 10th Battalion West Yorkshire Regiment suffered  the worst of the battalions engaged on the first day; XV Corps took

Background

Strategic developments

The German army arrived at Fricourt on 29 September 1914, when the 26th (Württemberg) Reserve Division and the 28th () Reserve Division of the XIV Reserve Corps, tried to continue an advance westwards towards Amiens. By 7 October, temporary scrapes had been occupied, after a night attack turned into a fiasco and  soldiers were captured. Fighting in the area from the Somme north to the Ancre, subsided into minor line-straightening attacks by both sides. In December the French attacked all along the new Western Front, which around Fricourt from  cost both sides thousands of casualties. In 1915 the war around the village went underground, with mining and counter-mining. In the village of La Boisselle, just north of Fricourt,  were blown between April 1915 and January 1916. At the end of July 1915, fresh troops were observed moving into the French positions north of the Somme and were identified on 1 August, at Thiepval Wood as British soldiers ("dressed in brown suits").

In January 1915, Erich von Falkenhayn, the German Chief of the General Staff (Oberste Heeresleitung) issued instructions on defensive policy, which required the existing front line to be made capable of being easily defended by small numbers of troops. Positions lost in the front line were to be recaptured by counter-attack and a second trench was to be built behind the front trench to shelter the front garrison during bombardments. To evade shellfire on the area behind the front line, communication trenches were to be dug, through which the troops in the second trench could move forward. Behind the front position, a new position was to be dug beyond enemy field-artillery range, to hold up an attack which had broken through the first line, while a counter-attack was mounted. A new line could be formed and linked to the occupied flanks of the first position, restricting an attacker to a bend in the line, rather than a breakthrough if counter-attacks failed. Construction of these defences took much of 1915 and since the front line was to be held at all costs, the forward position was completed first. On 6 May, another defensive position was ordered to be built  behind the front line.

In July 1915, Joseph Joffre the head of Grand Quartier Général (Commander in Chief of the French Army) held the first inter-Allied conference at Chantilly and in December 1915, a second conference resolved to conduct simultaneous attacks by the French, Russian, British and Italian armies. For the British, Flanders was the main theatre of operations but in February 1916, Haig accepted Joffre's plan for a combined attack astride the Somme river to begin around 1 July; in April the British Cabinet accepted the necessity of an offensive in France. The nature of a joint offensive on the Somme began to change almost immediately, when the German army began the Battle of Verdun on 21 February.  In March, Ferdinand Foch had proposed an offensive on a  front between Lassigny and the Somme and a British attack on a  front from the Somme to Thiepval, with  and  divisions. French divisions intended for the joint offensive were diverted to Verdun and the offensive was eventually reduced to a main effort by the British, with a supporting attack by one French army. British planning for the offensive began in April, with a Fourth Army proposal for a methodical advance to the high ground around Thiepval, thence to the Bapaume–Péronne road. Haig rejected the concept and required the British objective on the Somme to be the capture of the ridge north of Péronne, to assist the French cross the Somme further south. Diversion of French divisions to Verdun and the assumption by the British of the main role in the Somme offensive led to revisions of the plan towards a more ambitious attempt at strategic attrition, by a breakthrough and a battle of manoeuvre with distant objectives.

Tactical developments

1915

In January 1915, General Erich von Falkenhayn the German Chief of the General Staff (Oberste Heeresleitung, OHL), ordered a reconstruction of the defences which had been improvised when mobile warfare ended on the Western Front, late in 1914. Barbed wire obstacles were enlarged from one belt  wide to two belts  wide, about  apart. Double and triple thickness wire was used and laid  high. The front line had been increased from one trench line to a front position with three trenches  apart, the first trench () occupied by sentry groups, the second () for the bulk of the front-trench garrison and the third trench for local reserves. The trenches were traversed and had sentry-posts in concrete recesses built into the parapet. Dugouts had been deepened from  to ,  apart and large enough for  An intermediate line of strong points (the ) about  behind the front line was also built.

Communication trenches ran back to the reserve position, renamed the second position, which was as well-built and wired as the front position. The second position was sited beyond the range of Allied field artillery, to force an attacker to stop and move guns forward before assaulting it. The French Second Army had fought the Battle of Hébuterne (7–13 June) on a  front at Toutvent Farm, to the west of Serre, against a salient held by the 52nd Division and gained  on a  front, at a cost of   killed against a German loss of  The building of a third position, another  further back, had begun in February 1916. In the first half of 1916, as signs of an Anglo-French offensive on the Somme multiplied, more defensive works were built all over the Somme front and raiding was increased to snatch prisoners for questioning. In late May 1916, a spoiling attack was planned from Foucaucourt, south of the Somme, to St Pierre Divion north of the river, intended to reach a depth of . The plan was cancelled on 4 June, when the forces to carry it out were sent to Russia to counter the Brusilov Offensive.

1916

The British method of attack by 1916 was to fire an intense bombardment on the German front trenches just before zero hour, then lift the bombardment to the next trench, then the next according to a timetable. Before the barrage lifted, infantry were to creep as close as possible to the bombardment, considered to be  from the trench and to attack as soon as the shellfire lifted. The destructive effect of the bombardment was said by Haig and Rawlinson, to be such that nothing could live in the target area and that infantry would only have to occupy the ground,

It was recommended that the infantry should attack from trenches no further than  from the German front line. The digging of such trenches was opposed by some divisional commanders, lest it alerted the defenders and the decision was left to the discretion of corps and divisional commanders. Some divisions dug advanced trenches but most expected to begin the advance across no man's land covered by the barrage. In the XV Corps area, both divisions were to attack behind a creeping barrage, some starting from support trenches behind the British front line, due damage caused by German artillery-fire and mining and some from no man's land, after crawling forward just before the end of the bombardment.

Prelude

British offensive preparations

XV Corps (Lieutenant-General Henry Horne) with the 7th, 21st and 17th (Northern) divisions, five artillery groups and a siege battery, on a front of , about one heavy gun every  and one field gun per . The infantry attack was to be made behind a creeping barrage, in which the  would slowly move their fire beyond the German front trench, at  intervals, as the heavy artillery lifted from objective to objective when the creeping barrage reached it. If infantry caught up with the creeping barrage, they were to take cover and attack when the barrage moved forward. Air co-operation for XV Corps was to come from 3 Squadron and 9 Squadron Royal Flying Corps (RFC).

British plan of attack
In the first stage of the corps plan, the divisions were to occupy higher ground either side of Willow Stream and beyond Mametz on the right, then take Fricourt in the next stage, moving through the first German intermediate position, to the second intermediate position across the valley fronting Mametz Wood. The right was to gain contact with the XIII Corps at White Trench and the left link with III Corps at Quadrangle Trench, below Contalmaison. The final objective was chosen to receive a counter-attack, with good artillery observation in front of dead ground, from which the artillery could bombard the German second position. If the German defence collapsed, the 17th (Northern) Division, in corps reserve, would pass through and advance beyond Mametz Wood, up the north side of Caterpillar Valley, to Bazentin le Grand, Longueval and Ginchy. Fricourt was not to be attacked frontally but isolated, for which the right hand brigade of the 7th Division was to take Mametz and then White Trench, the centre brigade was to form a defensive flank on the south rise of Willow Valley, which faced Fricourt and Fricourt Wood to the north. The inner brigades of the 7th Division and 21st Division were to wait in the front-line trenches opposite the village, until ordered forward by the corps commander.

At  an intensive bombardment was to begin and from  gas was to be released at the centre of the front opposite Fricourt. At  a hurricane bombardment from Stokes mortars was to begin and at  a smoke-screen would be generated to screen the inner flanks of the 7th and 21st divisions and cloud the German support line opposite the 7th Division. Three mines, part of the Mines on the first day of the Somme, of ,  and  were to be blown at  under the Tambour, to create crater lips to protect the 21st Division infantry from machine-guns at German Tambour. Bulgar Point near Mametz was mined with a  charge, a sap further west mined with a  charge and four  mines were planted south of Hidden Wood.

German defensive preparations
The 28th Reserve Division faced XV Corps with I and III Battalions, Reserve Infantry Regiment 109, which had  in shell-hole positions and the II Battalion in reserve, opposite the British 7th Division. The regiment was due for relief on the night of  but the extent of British artillery-fire kept Infantry Regiment 23 back near Montauban. Deep dugouts had been built in the front line but few had been dug further back, which led to the trench garrison being crowded in the first trench. The divisional artillery, an essential part of the defence plan, was smashed by British artillery-fire. Reserve Infantry Regiment 111 held the sector opposite the British 21st Division.

Battle

Fourth Army

7th Division

The right and centre brigades of the division attacked on a
front from the Carnoy–Mametz track to a quarry near Hidden Wood. The 20th Brigade in the centre was to wheel left to form a line, from the north-west corner of Mametz to the south-west along Orchard Alley, across the Maricourt road, with the left near Bois Français, linking with the 22nd Brigade, which waited for the order to advance. The right-hand battalion of the 20th Brigade advanced from an area  behind the front line, due to damage in the front line trenches and was devastated in no man's land by machine-gun fire from Fricourt Wood and the German support trench. The bombardment of Fricourt failed due to the  howitzer shell fuzes falling out before the shells reached the target. The survivors pressed on and entered the front trench south of Fricourt, some parties reaching the support trench,  further on and overpowered the German troops in adjacent communication trenches.

Advancing further was impossible but the battalion continued to snipe and bomb the Germans opposite, as the flanking battalions advanced. Reinforcements later in the morning were also caught by machine-gun fire in no man's land and the survivors were unable to make progress beyond the existing 20th Brigade position. The left-hand battalion crossed no man's land with far fewer casualties and wheeled left to Hidden Lane, beyond Hidden Wood and short of Apple Alley, up the slope. Small parties mopped up German troops among the craters and mineshafts in the area, taking Hidden Lane by  despite losses from German troops in Mametz and Hidden Wood. The wood was captured by a frontal attack, combined with bombers moving down Hidden Lane, before parties advanced to the objective at Apple Alley. Establishment of the defensive flank towards Fricourt was not possible but the 22nd Brigade managed to occupy the German front and support trenches near the village and gain touch with the 20th brigade.

21st Division
The division attacked with the 50th Brigade (attached from the 17th (Northern) Division) on the right and the 63rd and 64th brigades to the left, with the 62nd Brigade in reserve. The 50th Brigade was to be ready to attack Fricourt, if the enveloping attacks on the flanks failed, except for the left-hand battalion, which was to attack to form a defensive flank facing the village. The 21st Division brigades were to advance to the first objective at Crucifix Trench, the German intermediate line, then continue to the second objective at Bottom Wood and Quadrangle Trench, in the second German intermediate line, to link with troops from the 7th Division. The 10th Battalion, West Yorkshire Regiment, attacked on a front of ; the first two companies reached the German front trench with few casualties, then pressed on to Red Cottage at the north end of Fricourt. The rest of the battalion was caught by machine-guns in the village and at German Tambour, which had survived the mine explosions and were forward of the creeping barrage. The two companies were practically annihilated and only a few troops reached the front trench. The companies at Red Cottage were overrun later in the morning, only a few groups managing to reach the 63rd Brigade to the north. The companies in no man's land were pinned down until dark and the battalion lost , the worst battalion loss of 1 July.

The two 21st Division brigades had to move up the west slope of the Fricourt spur and advance across the dip and the first Fricourt–Contalmaison road to the first objective at Crucifix Trench, on the east slope of the spur. The right flank was to advance to Fricourt Farm and the left to Round Wood, south of Scots Redoubt. Half of the right flank battalion in the 63rd Brigade advanced five minutes before zero hour, to crawl across no man's land but were forced back by machine-gun fire. The survivors formed one line to advance again at zero and were swept by fire from six machine-guns, before reaching the German support trench; forty survivors then followed the barrage to the Sunken Road. The two support companies were also caught in no man's land and only  reached the front trench, where the troops consolidated and defeated three counter-attacks from Fricourt. The left-hand battalion also tried to creep into no man's land and was fired on but continued to advance and the survivors reached the front trench, preceded by a shower of grenades and bombed forward to the support trench.

The supporting battalions were to advance at  to pass through to the second objective, when the creeping barrage moved on but the German opposition to the leading battalions, led to the support battalions being sent to reinforce the first objective at  Despite machine-gun fire sweeping no man's land, the survivors reached the top of Fricourt spur, on the right flank reaching the Sunken Road where a standing barrage was falling, before being stopped by machine-gun fire from Fricourt and the wood on the right. The left battalion reached the leading troops and bombed along communication trenches, occupying Lozenge Alley up to the Sunken Road to secure their right flank. Other parties advanced up the road to Crucifix Trench and more probed towards Fricourt Farm before retiring. German bombers counter-attacked towards Sunken Road but were repulsed and the British built a strong point in Lonely Trench. Accompanying Royal Engineers, intended to build more posts, were pressed into service as infantry, to hold the right flank of the brigade.

The 64th Brigade front had a small salient at each end, between which a Russian sap had secretly been dug. The sap was exposed just before the attack, so that the British troops could attack in a straight line from the far side of the wire. During the intense bombardment in the last five minutes before zero hour, companies of the two leading battalions crept forward from the sap, as German machine-gunners ignored the bombardment, setting up their guns on the parapet; machine-gunners on higher ground near La Boisselle, swept no man's land and the ground behind the German front trench. When the hurricane bombardment stopped, the men of the battalions stood up and advanced through the German wire despite many casualties and took the trench, as German troops showered them with stick-grenades. The two supporting battalions followed close behind and all four rushed the German support trench and took  in ten minutes, half of both leading battalions becoming casualties. The advance continued when the creeping barrage moved on, across the top of the spur towards Sunken Road, as German parties and the leading troops engaged with bombs and bayonets.

The Sunken Road was reached at  after crossing  of open ground. A halt was called but some troops pressed on to Crucifix Trench and took prisoner  from Shelter Wood. Fire from Fricourt Wood, Shelter Wood and Birch Tree Wood made an advance to the second objective impractical, as the creeping barrage had moved on. The brigade commander went forward and placed troops on the open left flank, where the 34th Division, III Corps, was to have reached. More troops were sent forward to Crucifix Trench and Lewis-gunners sent to Lozenge Wood to the south. Brigadier-General Cuthbert Headlam led an attack on Round Wood to the north but most of the attackers were hit by machine-gun fire from the wood. A post was formed at the junction of Crucifix Trench and the Sunken Road and the wood was occupied at  when the garrison left the wood to counter-attack troops from the 34th Division, who had lost direction and approached the wood from the west. The existing positions were consolidated; Headlam returned to divisional headquarters by  and obtained two battalions from the reserve brigade. The reinforcements struggled through congested trenches and eventually took over the right of the 63rd Brigade and left of the 64th Brigade.

Fricourt

At midday, XV Corps headquarters had gained an exaggerated view of the success of the offensive; XIII Corps on the right had reported that the Germans were retreating towards Bazentin le Grand and III Corps had announced that its troops were advancing towards Contalmaison. Air observers reported that German artillery was withdrawing along the Albert–Bapaume road and that British infantry had been seen between Fricourt and Contalmaison. Air observers also saw flares lit by British troops below, which were reported promptly. On the right of XV Corps,  Kite Balloon Section was able to order a bombardment on a party of Germans who had counter-attacked Danzig Alley. The artillery was so effective that a renewed British attack took it easily. Horne ordered the third phase to commence, unaware that not all of the first phase objectives had been reached and set zero hour for  after a thirty-minute bombardment. The 22nd Brigade of the 7th Division, waiting south of Fricourt, attacked with  battalions and the leading companies got across no man's land with few losses. The support companies were caught by machine-gun fire from the left, the detachments intended to bomb down communication trenches to Willow Valley and Fricourt, being nearly annihilated. A small party reached the Rectangle, was bombed back to the support trench and all attempts to press forward again were met with more machine-gun fire from the left; an attempt to bomb forward along trenches also failed. The left-hand battalion bombed up Sunken Road Trench and both sides of the Rectangle to Apple Alley and briefly gained a foothold in Fricourt, which distracted the German defenders on the right, where touch was also gained with the 20th Brigade troops in Apple Alley.

The 50th Brigade attacked north of the Willow Stream, the plan being changed after the 10th West Yorkshire were destroyed in the morning. The right-hand battalion attacked at  after protesting that the attack would fail unless the objective attacked earlier by the 10th West Yorkshire was taken first. The second stage was ordered despite the failure of the first stage, against the most fortified part of the Fricourt defences, between Wing Corner below the southern tip of the village and German Tambour in front of the western face. The preliminary bombardment failed to cut the wire, due to faulty fuzes and only small gaps were made, the German dugouts in the area were found untouched. The battalion was engaged from both flanks as soon as it advanced, despite covering fire from Lewis guns on the railway embankment nearby. In three minutes  had been inflicted, some German troops standing on the parapet to fire. A small number of British troops reached the village and were overrun and killed or captured, except for one party which occupied a cellar. The survivors in no man's land were pinned down until dark and a support battalion which followed the advance was also cut down in no man's land; the 50th Brigade attack was suspended.

As the third phase attack by the centre brigades collapsed, the outer brigades of both divisions consolidated their hold on Mametz and Fricourt spurs. On the 7th Division front, the last company of the right-hand battalion of the 20th Brigade, advanced at  and despite being caught by machine-gun fire from the Shrine, arrived in time to exploit the attack on Fricourt at  The 20th Brigade was reinforced by part of a supporting battalion, to attack through Mametz towards Bunny Trench, past troops who had already worked forward into the east end of the village. Four lines advanced at  after a  bombardment. As they approached the village, about  troops emerged from dugouts at the Shrine and Mametz to surrender and after a last stand by the garrison, the village was occupied by  The troops reached Bunny Trench, to complete the first phase of the 20th Brigade plan. From the centre of the divisional front facing Fricourt, the line ran from the north-west corner of Mametz, left to the slope along Orchard Alley, across the Péronne road and light railway, along Apple Alley to the Maricourt spur, joining the right of the 22nd Brigade in the German first and support lines.

On the 21st Division front, little ground was gained during the afternoon but a defensive flank was established against Fricourt. The 63rd and 64th brigades had been ordered to exploit the attack on the village at  to advance from the Sunken Road and Crucifix Trench, to Fricourt Farm and Shelter Wood, the 63rd Brigade to be ready to intercept a retreat from Fricourt. On the brigade front, attempted movement was met with machine-gun fire from Fricourt Farm and the north side of Fricourt Wood. An attack by the 64th Brigade was carried out in a rush, when the order arrived ten minutes after the bombardment on Shelter Wood had lifted and the attack from Crucifix Trench by parts of two battalions failed. At  the divisional commander, Major-General David Campbell, ordered both brigades to consolidate the line from Willow Stream in the British front line, to opposite German Tambour, the German front trench on the left of the 50th Brigade; the 63rd Brigade to consolidate along Lonely Lane, Lozenge Alley and Lozenge Wood, facing Fricourt.

To the north the 64th Brigade held a line from Lozenge Wood, the first intermediate line, Crucifix Trench to Round Wood where touch had been gained with the 34th Division. At  Campbell ordered the last two battalions of the 62nd Brigade forward, to relieve the 64th Brigade at dawn on 2 July. At  the 17th Division was ordered to take over from the 21st Division facing Fricourt, the 50th Brigade being relieved by the 51st Brigade ready for another attack in the morning, as observers and patrols had reported retirements by the Germans in the area of Fricourt. An opportunity to attack when the German defence was still disorganised was lost, when the arrival of the 51st Brigade was held up by congestion behind the British front line until  Very little German firing took place on the 21st Division front overnight, many wounded were recovered and supplies were brought up without interference, although there was an acute water shortage in the captured area.

Capture of Fricourt

At  Rawlinson ordered the offensive to continue in the XV Corps area to take Fricourt, advance to the final objective and to link with III Corps south of Contalmaison. The front around Fricourt remained quiet during the night and a German counter-attack further south at Maricourt was repulsed. Horne ordered an attack on Fricourt at  on 2 July, after a  bombardment, the 17th Division to link with the 7th Division north of Mametz. Soon afterwards a 7th Division patrol reported that Fricourt had been entered unopposed at midnight. A patrol from the 51st Brigade took  from Reserve Infantry Regiment 111 and Major-General Thomas Pilcher ordered the brigade to enter the village immediately. In the confusion, the village was not occupied until noon on 2 July, where eleven German stragglers were captured. The attack continued behind a creeping barrage with Bottom Wood as the final objective. The advance moved through Fricourt Wood where fallen trees, thick undergrowth and German machine-gun fire slowed progress. By nightfall, touch had been gained with the 7th Division on the right and along the north and north-eastern fringes of Fricourt Wood and Fricourt Farm, at the junction with the 21st Division. RFC contact patrol observers followed the attack and reported the fall of the farm minutes afterwards. Railway Alley was relatively undamaged but bombers attacked from the west and took  just before midnight.

German 2nd Army

The preliminary bombardment was particularly effective on the front of the 28th Reserve Division and was more destructive on 1 July, when the artillery batteries in the valleys near Montauban and Mametz were destroyed along with their ammunition, few of the guns being withdrawn to the second position. All the field guns of the 28th Reserve Division were put out of action and reports described the bombardment as  (devastating). Much of the garrison was in the front line where most of the dugouts had been built. Telephone communication was cut and machine-guns in Danzig Alley north of Mametz, were destroyed or made inoperable. Scattered resistance in Mametz continued at  and the last survivors retired at  As soon as the attack began   two battalions of Infantry Regiment 23 and every available man from Reserve Infantry Regiment 109, were sent to the second position. Reinforcements were not sent forward to the front line, due to uncertainty about the fighting at Montauban.

Opposite the 21st Division, Reserve Infantry Regiment 111 had many casualties in the bombardment and most trenches, obstacles, shallow dugouts and observation posts were destroyed, although a few dugout entrances were kept clear. On Fricourt spur the situation was worse and the northernmost company of Reserve Infantry Regiment 110 was reduced to  Mine explosions west of Fricourt at the  (Tambour) caused much destruction and the 8th Company of Reserve Infantry Regiment 110 left a machine-gun crew behind, withdrew and was replaced by the 2nd Company, which was outflanked, attacked from behind and all the personnel killed or captured. A replacement company failed to reach the area but took cover in Round Wood, where it repulsed the first 64th Brigade attack. By evening the survivors withdrew towards the  (Shoelace Maker's Cave) an elaborate dug-out near Fricourt Wood.

Machine-guns in the second position failed to work and local counter-attacks were not able to retrieve the situation, as the British advance around Mametz outflanked the garrison in Fricourt, where the defence was hampered by fog, gas and smoke. A British attack west of the Tambour was countered by a defensive mine, which inflicted many casualties on the 21st Division as it attacked, along with machine-gun fire from the hill above Fricourt. In the area of Reserve Infantry Regiment 109, the attack began with the sound of the mine explosions on the right flank; the effect of the British bombardment had already been sufficient to require the relief of two companies, due on the evening of 1 July, from Infantry Regiment 23. The damage caused by the bombardment, the narrowness of no man's land and the surprise of the Russian sap, allowed the British to break in, while most of the garrison was under cover. An instant counter-attack  failed and the defence was pushed back within minutes, one company being back in the third trench by

On the left flank, the III Battalion was also pushed back, despite attempts by the II Battalion to reinforce the defence. The defeat of the 12th Division around Montauban uncovered the southern flank and during the afternoon, constant attacks gradually wore down the defence. At  the headquarters of the III Battalion was captured and by  the  of the battalion rallied in the second position at Bazentin le Petit. During the night, orders from Below arrived for the garrison of Fricourt to withdraw, which was accomplished relatively easily, as the British attack had stopped. Reinforcements from III Battalion, Reserve Infantry Regiment 186 were sent to the area of Reserve Infantry Regiment 111 in the evening of 2 July and were all killed or captured along with the remnants of Reserve Infantry Regiment 111 as the British advanced from Fricourt and Mametz, towards Mametz Wood.

Aftermath

Analysis
The XV Corps attack took a considerable amount of ground on the flanks, the right advancing  and the left ; in the centre the attack failed and although enveloped on three sides Fricourt was not captured. In Prior and Wilson's account, the salient around Fricourt made the village inherently vulnerable to artillery-fire in enfilade. The failure to engage in counter-battery fire by XV Corps was redeemed by the emphasis on it by XIII Corps artillery to the south and the French guns of XX Corps, which wiped out the German artillery near Fricourt. The density of the destructive bombardment was much greater than elsewhere and a lack of deep dugouts, led to most of the defenders congregating in those under the front trench, which reduced the capacity of the surviving German infantry to withstand the attack. Prior and Wilson described the failure of the tactical ploy of infantry moving into no man's land before zero hour and the catastrophe of the 50th Brigade attack in the afternoon, after XV Corps had received inaccurate reports from XIII and III Corps.

C. T. Atkinson, the 7th Division historian, wrote that the success of the 30th, 18th and 7th divisions partly made up for the failures further north and that with the ground gained by the 21st Division, the plan to envelop Fricourt and link the inner flanks of the divisions was completed on 2 July. The infantry advance took four minutes to reach the empty British front line, which had been bombarded by German artillery during the intense fire in the hour before zero and  were taken in Mametz. The afternoon attack of the 20th Brigade achieved an advance sufficient to guard the left flank of the division and during the day, the 7th divisional artillery fired  of field gun ammunition and  shells. In the early morning, orders for a resumption of attacks to the final objective were issued, as patrols found Fricourt undefended, took a number of prisoners and met troops of the 17th Division in Willow Trench, taking many prisoners.

Casualties
Most of the XV Corps casualties were inflicted by machine-gun fire, the 7th Division losing , the 21st Division having  and the 50th Brigade, 17th Division   The 10th Battalion West Yorkshire Regiment had  the greatest number of casualties of any battalion engaged on the first day.  were taken and Reserve Infantry Regiment 109 had  not all incurred on the XV Corps front.

Subsequent operations

The advances achieved by the British south of the Albert–Bapaume road continued after 1 July, with the occupation of Fricourt on 2 July and an advance across Caterpillar Valley, where the ground rose  in , with more artillery being concentrated on a narrower front and shallower objectives being set. Operations were intended to close on the German second line and threaten the rear of the German defences from Ovillers to Thiepval, ready for another general attack from Longueval to Bazentin le Petit, which required the capture of the intermediate German defences in front of Mametz Wood and Contalmaison. Some of the survivors of the defence of Fricourt and reinforcements which began to arrive on 2 July, took over the intermediate line from Mametz Wood to La Boisselle. Late on 2 July XV Corps ordered an attack by the 17th and 21st divisions to begin at  on 3 July, to capture Shelter and Bottom woods south of Contalmaison as the 7th Division attacked towards Mametz Wood.

1918
Fricourt was recaptured by German troops on 26 March 1918, during the retreat of the 17th (Northern) Division and the 1st Dismounted Brigade of the 1st Cavalry Division during Operation Michael, the German spring offensive. The 17th Division minus the 50th Brigade collected round Fricourt.

For more than 30 years, Robbins has been in sales roles for networking and technology companies supporting the Federal Government. He like many leaders have come to appreciate the digital transformation occurring, and its impact on sales and marketing. In addition, he realizes that his customers buying journey has changed. As a result, he's been focused on leading the digital transformation of his sales team, including use of social sales and marketing and more modern tools.
LI: In your experience, what matters the most when it comes to succeeding in sales?
AR: To drive a social sales and marketing agenda, you have to understand your customer, and you have to be able to deliver your value and insight at a place and time in which your customer is looking for such information.
The structured funnel of yesterday is no longer relevant. Customers make buying decisions and draw conclusions very quickly. You are now able to educate and inspire a larger group of customers in a shorter time than you ever could before with the classic selling model.
In order to succeed in social sales you have cultivate a strong sense of personal branding and trust, and position yourself as a thought leader, or someone who adds insight and value to customer missions and need. We must establish a sense of consistency in our online presence so that your customer recognizes you and values the insights you have provided. By maintaining this for an extended period of time, your customers will learn to trust what you have to offer. Eventually, you will become one of the sources that they seek out.
LI: When did you first discover the importance of social sales?
AR: Back in 2011. Before AT&T, I was working at a company where we were researching customer problem sets. After such research, we created business insights and value which we could offer to our customers. We were trying to figure out how to offer this to the marketplace, but our team wasn't large enough to talk to all of our customers as quickly as we wanted to. That's when we discovered social selling. Through careful research, and by working with sales and marketing, we discovered we were able to leverage and scale our insights using social media. This is also around the time that I brought in LinkedIn experts to host webinars, and hired consultants to provide additional social selling training, as well. We began more effectively using LinkedIn, LinkedIn Sales Navigator and other tools to support our selling transformation.
LI: How did you incorporate these learnings into your work today?
AR: The customer's buying journey has changed so dramatically. The way customers buy products and absorb information has tremendously changed, and it has required our sales and marketing teams to change to intersect. A few years ago I would have said that you have to encourage social sales and marketing, but now I think you have to demand it and expect it. It's a reality that's here and now, and my intention is to go faster in implementing the social sales and marketing program in my new role, all of which is just a part of the broader digital transformation of sales and marketing.

Schweizer 269 - easy three-helicopter American-made, designed in 1983, the aircraft manufacturer «Schweizer Aircraft Corporation».
Photo Schweizer 269
Designing the Schweizer helicopter 269 model began in the American aircraft manufacturers 1980 year. At its core, the development of the aircraft have been associated with an attempt to create a multi-purpose aircraft, which allows to carry on its board of three people, with the project expected to popularize by reducing the cost of one helicopter, and in a relatively short period of production, the developers managed to sell a few dozen models of the aircraft is not in its place came a model helicopter Schweizer 300, eventually, replace it.
Helicopter Schweizer 269 has a very compact and simple design, which not only provided a more full-scale production of these aircraft, but also led to a decrease in the cost of the project, which was supposed to implement an initial stage of the design of the helicopter.
Schweizer 269 photo
The Schweizer helicopter model 269 passed its first test flights in 1983 year, moreover, the project was very successful, so that already in the same year, the aircraft became commercially produced and marketed with great success both in the US and in other countries. However, the Schweizer helicopters 269 edition wore very limited, and in 1986 was officially terminated, which was associated with the emergence of new, more sophisticated models of aircraft.
The aircraft model refers to a multi-purpose aircraft, in particular, it can be used as a private helicopter and as a commercial, in particular, used as a patrol, observation and the training vessel. To fulfill passenger transportation and freight transportation, it is used air vessel can not, however, as private aircraft owners easily meets the requirements.

Eugene Chen, ursprungligen Eugene Bernard Achan, född 1878 i San Fernando, Brittiska Västindien, död 1944 i Shanghai, var en kinesisk politiker.

Eugene Chens far Chen Guangquan kom från en hakka-släkt från Shunde och tvingades fly Kina sedan han stött Taipingupproret mot Qingdynastin. Fadern flyttade först till Jamaica och fortsatte sedan till Martinique, där han gifte sig med en kvinna av blandat ursprung. Paret flyttade till Trinidad, där Eugene Bernard Achan växte upp som äldste sonen i en syskonskara om fem söner och en dotter. Eugene Achan fick en engelskspråkig utbildning i Port of Spain och hade högst rudimentära kunskaper i kinesiska.

Efter att ha praktiserat som advokat på Trinidad och i London reste Chen till Kina 1912 och verkade där som radikal journalist i Peking.

Han anslöt sig 1917 till Sun Yat-sen i Kanton och var 1922-24 regeringens rådgivare. Under nationaliströrelsen 1926 blev han Kantonregeringens utrikesminister och när Kuomintang splittrades under Nordfälttåget deltog han i den vänsterregering som bildades i Wuhan i januari 1927. Där förde han som utrikesminister de viktiga förhandlingarna med Storbritannien om överlämnandet av den brittiska koncessionen i Hankou. När Wang Jingwei återvände till Kina samma år för att ta ledning för utbrytarregeringen i Wuhan avsatte han Chen i augusti 1927 som alltför radikal, varefter Chen reste han till Moskva och spelade därefter ingen större roll i den kinesiska politiken.

Auteuring Nollywood: Critical Perspectives on The Figurine is a book released on 31 July 2014, detailing the scholarly analysis of events in the 2009 film The Figurine directed by Kunle Afolayan. The book is the first book in the history of Nigerian Cinema to be devoted to the work of a single Nigerian film director and it contains scholarly essays, which explores "the thematic focus and cinematic style employed in The Figurine". It also contains interviews with the cast and crew of the film and insights into the African and Nigerian film industry. Since its release, the book has been getting rave reviews from critics, educators and film scholars.

Development and overview
Auteuring Nollywood is a 455-page book and it contains a "collection of scholarly essays," interrogating "the thematic focus and cinematic style employed in The Figurine"; it also  provides series of interviews with the key actors and technicians that featured in the film, and explores the trends in the New Nigerian Cinema.

The idea of a book adaptation of The Figurine was originally the idea of Shina Afolayan, who is a Scholar in the department of Philosophy, University of Ibadan. He gave birth to the idea when the film was still in production; after seeing a rough cut of the film, he was very impressed with what he saw that he had to interview Kunle Afolayan, along with the other cast and crew of the film at the time. The idea was not taken seriously, until film scholars in other countries also got keen on writing on the film. The book's content was contributed by a number of scholars from various educational institutions, including: Sola Osofisan, Dele Layiwola, Chukwuma Okoye, Jane Thorburn, Matthew H. Brown, Gideon Tanimonure, A.G.A Bello, Foluke Ogunleye and Hyginus Ekwuazi. Foreword was written by Professor Jonathan Haynes of the Long Island University, an Afterword on "Neo-Nollywood and its Other" by Onookome Okome and the book as a whole was edited by Adeshina Afolayan. The book is packaged and published by Relentless Media, in conjunction with Golden Effects Services.

Release
Auteuring Nollywood was launched on 31 July 2014 at the Agip Recital Hall of the Muson Centre, Lagos. The event was attended by several political and film stakeholders, including Peace Anyim-Osigwe, the former C.E.O of Africa Film Academy, Governor of Kwara State: Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed (represented by Prince Deji Oni), Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly: Honourable Adeyemi Ikuforiji, Corporate Affairs Adviser of Nigerian Breweries: Kufre Ekanem, Nigerian Guild of Editors: Mr. Femi Adeshina, Chairman of Doyin Group of Companies: Chief Samuel Adedoyin, and the event was chaired by Rasheed Gbadamosi, former Nigerian Minister for National Planning. Other notable people at the event include: Chief Tunde Oloyede, Tunde Kelani, Mahmood Ali-Balogun, Yomi Fash Lanso, Ohaneze Ndi Igbo Nollywood, Gabriel Afolayan, Shina Afolayan, media mogul Dayo Adeneye, designer Deola Sagoe, Kenny Saint Brown, talking Drummer: Ara and comedians such as Ali Baba, Julius Agwu, Teju Babyface, Princess and Kofi. Comedian Gbenga Adeyinka was the Host of the event. Some challenges facing the film industry was also discussed at the event as well.

Reception
The book has been met with positive reception since its release. Ikechukwu Obiaya, the director of Nollywood Study Centre, Pan-African University, commends the quality of the book and stated: "This is a highly impressive book. Hope it will be the first of many more to come of Kunle Afolayan's works". He also comments that the book reveals interesting perspectives into "artistic" life of the filmmaker, Kunle Afolayan. Nduka Otiono of Association of Nigerian Authors (ANA), and African Studies, Carlton University stated: "this book is seminal in its inauguration of a new chapter in the study of Nigeria's phenomenal contribution to global film culture," "it makes a strong case for a more in-depth artistic and critical approach to the study of Nollywood that triangulates around orality". Akin Adesokan of the Indiana University comments that the book is: "comprehensive and informed about its subject and in unexpected ways gives solidity to the characterization of Nollywood as 'telling our own stories'". Steve Ayorinde of Relentless Media, commended that Auteuring Nollywood arrived  "at a time that the Nigerian film industry is opening up to the Academy Awards and is also being duly acknowledged as a major contributor to the Nigerian economy". He commented that the book is "championing a new and positive development in cinematic and literary studies in Nigeria by focusing exclusively on the work of a single cineaste while also expanding the narrative around a film industry that continues to announce its arrival on the global scene in a spectacular way".

The director of the original film, Kunle Afolayan revealed that after reading a copy of the book, he shed tears of joy, "because this is about me and my work, and because I have never read a book so detailed in its analysis". He also commented: "Releasing one's movie to scholarly interrogation like this is one of the next levels for our film industry to climb and I'm excited that this is already happening through my film". Peace Anyiam-Osigwe of Africa Film Academy comments that: "AMAA is proud to be associated with this project because it serves an important purpose,"  "It is significant to see that five years after The Figurine won AMAA's top award as Best Film, the film is still being discussed and has earned a rich collection of academic essays that are as important to the film as they are to the entire industry". Danjuma Dadu of Nigerian Film Corporation stated: "Auteuring Nollywood was a welcome addition to the body of knowledge on film discourse in Nigeria and that the Film Corporation is proud to be associated with it".

I hope you'll indulge me. In the last issue of this magazine, long-time editor Nim Marsh announced that, effective immediately, he was stepping down. He did so halfway through one of his finest editorials, and no doubt some of you choked on your coffee and re-read the sentence several times to be sure you weren't imagining things. Nim's been at the helm for 13 years, and his presence was a comforting one. Reading his editorials always felt like entering a safe harbor in the midst of this crazy world. He wrote expertly on all things boating-related with a sense of humor and one philosophic eye trained on the past. The magazine he produced each month was lively, interesting and belied his meager budget.
Like me, you probably considered him a friend. Because he so rarely injected himself into his writing, I think it's safe to say he's remained fairly enigmatic. Nim's not just stepping down from the magazine – he's retiring from a 55-year career in the marine-publication business. So, before he runs off to chase the horizon aboard one of his small boats, I'd like to use this space to make him a little less mysterious (sorry, Nim!).
I first met Francis Marsh III (no middle name; in order to avoid household confusion, Francis Marsh II called his son "Nim," short for Nimrod, who in the Book of Genesis is described as "a mighty hunter before the Lord") in the offices of "Cruising World" magazine nearly 20 years ago, where he'd essentially been shanghaied into a third term there. He swears this is true – that he never asked for any of the jobs. In an office full of characters, Nim stood out. He struck me as a cross between Charlie Brown and "MAD" magazine's Alfred E. Neuman (What? Me Worry?), and each day he looked for the moment of absurdity that would make us both laugh. We'd egg each other on until, after a series of loud guffaws, and beet-red, Nim would take his thick glasses off to wipe away tears.
In an office of constant stressful deadlines, Nim kept me sane. Each day, the then-60-year-old Nim scooted out the door at precisely 5 o'clock to catch his favorite show, "The Simpsons." I admired Nim's adherence to principle, his abilities as a writer and an editor (he was, and still is, Speedy Gonzales-fast), and the seemingly effortless way he glided through each workday.
Besides three tours of duty at "Cruising World" and a short stint as a beat reporter at the "Beverly Times" (Mass.) newspaper, his resume includes "Salt Water Sportsman," "National Fisherman," "Motorboat" and "Blue Water Sailing." In between and during these gigs he spent a lot of time on the water power-boating and fishing. He sailed the length of the U.S. East Coast and to Nova Scotia aboard various boats, and to Bermuda and the Caribbean. He boat-bummed around the North Atlantic, making it as far east as England and Spain.
My favorite Nim story, though, of which I'll only tell you the end, concerns a three-day sailing trip he and good buddy Jeremy McGeary made on Nim's Bristol 27. Referred to as the "Jack-'n-'dines Cruise" (provisions of Jack Daniels and sardines only), it ends with proper Englishman McGeary, in his cups, falling like Chris Farley in a "Saturday Night Live" skit through the recently installed galley table, reducing it to kindling.
Nim always takes his glasses off in the re-telling of that one. I never get tired of it.
While reading Nim's last essay, which is ostensibly about sailors following in the wake of their predecessors, it occurred to me that mariners aren't the only ones: That is, as a writer and editor, I mean to carry Nim's torch (albeit with my own spin). Who am I? There's a lot of space to fill here. Be sure to check back.
Immortality? Nim, you've got that in the bag, buddy. The body of work you've left behind, and those of us following in your substantial wake, will see to it.

The Huawei Honor 7 brings a massive camera upgrade - it packs a 20MP Sony IMX230 sensor with F/2.0 aperture and sapphire glass protection. There is fast phase autofocusing system, as well as a dual-LED dual-tone flash.
The front camera relies on an 8MP fixed-focus sensor with F/2.4 aperture and wide-angle lens. It is also coupled with a single-LED flash, a rarity among the smartphones today but it is gaining momentum lately.
The camera interface is clean and simple, though quite ripped off from the Apple's iOS. You can switch between the main shooting modes with swipes - light painting, beauty, photo, video and good food. Those wouldn't be our first choice if we were to arrange them, but sadly the order is not user configurable.
Filters are available, as well as panorama, HDR, all focus, burst, night scene, time-lapse and slow-mo. You can find these advanced modes via the settings shortcut. If you opt for the all-focus, your Honor 7 takes a few pictures, while you are holding your phone steady and you can choose the focus later, including all in focus. It works nice and hiccup-free.
The light painting mode offers four different settings - tail light trails, light graffiti, silky water, star track. Whatever the scene, your Honor 7 will first take a picture with the proper exposure settings and then it will capture the light trails of either cars, stars, water or other moving objects. After you finish capturing those, the light trails will be automatically added to your picture. This process actually ends with stunning results! More on that later.
The 20MP samples came out with plenty of detail across the frame, mostly accurate colors and good dynamic range. The photos are sharp and what's better - there are no over-sharpened details. The high-res images are not without flaws, though, and they're readily visible when the images are viewed at 100% on a big screen. The immature noise suppression results into an unnatural grainy look, especially in areas of uniform color such as the sky. Luckily those are easily fixable once you downscale the samples to say, 10 MP.
The color saturation is right, but the camera has a slight tendency to underexpose in bright daylight. If anything, it's beneficial to your images as it preserves data in the highlights. Just like with the previous Honor 6 model, at times we witnessed pronounced differences in exposure of the same scene over a period of a few seconds. It's nowhere near the worse we've seen, and your mileage may vary depending on your subject.
The Honor 7 camera has a built-in HDR mode and it works well. Processing is conservative and images came out balanced and natural-looking. But the above average dynamic range of the standard samples already does pretty neat job of bringing detail in the shadows, so we found ourselves rarely using the HDR switch.
The Honor 7 performed well in panorama mode. When held in portrait it produced images about 4,000 pixels high, and a 180-degree rotation produced a 12MB image. Exposure was even across the shot and stitching was accurate with no visible artifacts. Opting for shooting in landscape mode halves the vertical resolution at 2,000 pixels.
Now, as promised, we are bringing to you few Light Painting samples. We tried the tail light mode and Light Graffiti. Because the Honor 7 takes the actual picture at the beginning, no matter how long you take to complete your creation, the rest of the scene seems to stay clear and sharp and doesn't change exposure. Note the final picture is always mirrored and comes in 8MP resolution. Still, the results are pretty awesome.
Finally, we snapped a sample with the front 8MP camera. It has a fixed focus and there is a LED flash to help you take beautiful selfies in the dark. The selfie interface supports lots of beautifying effects, plus owner specific recognition so the phone will make sure the phone's owner always looks their best on group selfies.
The Huawei Honor 7 has plenty of smartphones to contend with in our Photo compare tool, which lets you see just how it fares against other 20MP shooters. You can placed it up against its predecessor, the Honor 6, to see if there is any noticeable improvement.
The Huawei Honor 7 offers 1080p videos at 30fps. Sadly, there's no 60fps or 4K recording, although the hardware seems more than capable to handle it. Videos are stored as MP4 files and have a bitrate of around 19Mbps for 1080p resolution. There's stereo sound at 96Kbps.
The videos taken with the Honor 7 are rather unimpressive - the resolved detail is just average, and while the colors are accurate and the dynamic range is good, the overall video softness is rather disappointing.
HDR videos are supported, but those look really unnatural. You can download a small 1080p HDR sample and check it out for yourself.
If you want to know how exactly the Honor 7 stacks against the competition, you should visit our video comparison tool below. We noticed it does way better at close distances rather than in usual scenes, such as the streets outside. Notice the rich detail in the background in both normal and low light conditions. That's really odd.

After afternoon of football, the players of the IC11 Women's Division were invited to the Women's Launch in the function room overlooking Oval 1. Against a backdrop of the USA Revolution playing against the Japanese Samurai in the men's division, the women gathered together, many meeting each other for the first time, some with jubilant faces from a hard fought win, others reflective of experiences gained and lessons learnt on the history making opening day of the first ever Women's International Cup.
After the Canadian Northern Lights and their opponents, the triumphant Irish Banshees, had joined the group, fresh from an exciting game of two of women's football's top teams, the launch function began with an introduction from the Indigenous leader of western Sydney, welcoming the teams to their country and lands, and wishing them all the best for both their stay in Sydney and their hopes for the International Cup.
This was followed by a welcome from the Blacktown Councilor, Kathie Collins, who talked about the importance of the event for the local community, and a great introduction to the event and to women's football from the AFL's Female Football Development Manager, Jan Cooper, explaining some of the struggles women's football has had in its history, from the very first match in the inaugural Victorian WFL season, to the inclusion of all Australian states at this year's Women's National Championships, and talked of her joy of women's football going one step further, beyond Australia's borders, with the development of international women's football clubs and leagues, culminating in the first Women's International Cup.
After her speech, Cooper introduced a local figure, Fatima Kourouche, who has helped empower local females and Muslim communities by introducing women's only swimming lessons and various other inspiring projects, gave the room a presentation on her work and wished the women well in their own ventures to spread Australian Football to women around the world.
Finally, nothing at the International Cup would be complete without the contributions of Sydney Swans legend and AFL Ambassador, Brett Kirk. As well as talking about his impressions of the female footballers he met on his epic travels, he also talked of his pride in watching his wife play in her very first game of football, after she was invited to join one of the local teams whilst on their travels.
We'll also have another perspective on this enjoyable evening from Stephen Alomes who is always on the look out for the cultural changes in football.
The women's teams will next play against each other on Wednesday the 17th August.

I didn't really have a group of girlfriends growing up - but now I don't know where I would be without the inspiring, supportive, strong, caring, fun-loving women in my life! Moms, business women, artists, entrepreneurs; My NN Insiders!
I was part of a mixed group throughout my teens; had friends that were girls but was as close, if not closer, to many of the guys (just as friends!). Rhys & I met when I was 18 and he genuinely became my BFF years before we started dating. Then we got married and made all our decisions together, moved cities together & faced life's challenges together – hey he even shopped with me!
It was while living in London, working crazy hours where I often got to my desk in the dark and left it again in the dark, that I met a bunch of girls who changed my view. I was invited to my first "Girlie Lunch" having met Jill, Janey & Sarah through our other halves. We all arrived at the restaurant around noon & were still sitting there drinking & talking when they were trying to lay-up for dinner, we all bought Toby Mott slogan t-shirts (https://www.tobyshop.com) on the way back to one girls house where we continued to talk, eat Indian take out & drink until the small hours! OK we all accept that our lifestyle was not "healthy" back then but what was healthy were the friendships: these girls were there for each other's career changes & house moves, stupid decisions & wonderful celebrations, break-ups & weddings - they were the ones who figured out I was pregnant with our first baby before I did! And they were the ones that I wondered if I would ever replace when we moved to Los Angeles – I had "girlfriends"!
My circle of girls has morphed over the years as Mommie & Me yoga became collaborating on Pre-school Room Mom tasks, became sharing the shade of the tree outside the Kinder-gate, became organizing Elementary Graduation… Gradually I realized my "girls" were "women" and many of us were negotiating the new territory of having ourselves back & searching for new challenges.
I was not alone in this being a creative catalyst & in starting my business I realized that these women are not just my friends but we are a network – stronger together; sharing our knowledge, discoveries, experience, encouragement & yes, sometimes a drink!
Cheers to you, my NN Insiders!


The 2011 Print Awards are open to all artists whose work encounters print. Works in any medium will be considered and is not restricted to 2 or 3 dimensional works.
A panel of eminent artists, printmakers and curators will select approximately 40 artists to exhibit across major venues in Newcastle Gateshead. Exhibitions of the selected works will be shown at the Hatton Gallery, Laing Art Gallery and Northern Print from 17 September to 19 November 2011.
Artists are asked to submit a current CV, Artist's statement and a maximum of 10 images. Entry fee is £25 or €30.
Hillyard is excited to announce that Darin White, Lawrence, KS, has agreed to guest curate and jury the Sweeping up the Mess exhibit. White's recent curatorial work includes: Anthropoi, White Show, Dry Bones, and TRANS*parent TRANS*lucent which was hailed by Review Mid-America's Visual Arts Publication as being "mesmerizing, beautiful, puzzling, and disturbing, but what perhaps makes it successful overall is the effective curation. White has put together an exhibition that is direct and sensible; it creates an environment capable of producing dialogue between viewers." In its review of Anthropoi, the publication states, "White's curatorial and promotional skills are causing much murmur in Lawrence's fairly tight-knit arts community."
Sponsored by ING Wholesale Banking, this is an exhibition of small works independently selected by six prominent figures from the art world: two artists, two collectors and two critics.
The 2011 selectors will include: Artists, Eileen Cooper RA and Lisa Wright; Collectors, John Pluthero (Chairman, Cable & Wireless Worldwide and founder of abstract critical) and John Deston (Gallery Manger, The Mall Galleries, London) and critics, Ossian Ward (Visual Arts Editor, Time Out, London) and Brian Sewell (Art Critic). They will each select and curate their own section of the exhibition.
The uniqueness of having each work chosen by an eminent individual, unlike in a group selected show, has earned the exhibition an excellent reputation among art lovers and collectors alike. Work is selected by open submission and also from artists invited by the selectors. The works of lesser-known artists are given the opportunity to hang alongside the work of more established artists helping to connect hundreds of new artists with new audiences.
Painting, prints, drawing, photography and sculpture are accepted, the only criteria being that works should not exceed 20 inches in their largest dimension and that all works must be for sale. Artists may submit up to six works. An exhibition of selected works will take place at The Mall Galleries, London from 10 – 20 November 2011.
Entry forms and information available to download online: www.parkerharris.co.uk or send a SAE to ING Discerning Eye, PO Box 279, Esher, Surrey, KT10 8YZ.
Works are submitted to regional collection centres with final hand in dates at the Mall Galleries, London on 2 & 3 September 2011. Please contact Parker Harris for further details.
The Great North Run Moving Image Commission is now open for expressions of interest.
Every year Bupa Great North Run Culture awards an artist or film-maker £30,000 to create a new moving image work in response to the world's largest half-marathon. The work is then presented as part of the following year's culture programme with an extract screened on the BBC as part of their live coverage of the Bupa Great North Run.
The deadline for expressions of interest is 5.00pm on Monday 27th June.
Following the appointments of Matthew Darbyshire and Daniel Eatock (2010), Ab Rogers and Martin Westwood (2009), David Austen and Julia Lohmann (2008), Sara Fanelli and Juneau Projects (2007), Deborah Smith and Public Works (2006), Shelley Fox and Elizabeth Price (2005), and El Ultimo Grito and Mark Beasley (2004), the Faculty of Art, Design & Architecture at Kingston University is seeking two high-profile practitioners, one in the field of Fine Art the other in Design, for the Stanley Picker Fellowships 2011.
Each Fellowship provides up to £11,000 towards developing, from within the Faculty, an innovative exhibition project of international standing that will form a core part of the future programme at the Stanley Picker Gallery.

Submission deadline: 24 June 2011 @ 5pm PST.
The terminus is the end, the boundary, and the border; of course the terminus is also a beginning as well as its own place, its own site of experience and encounter.
Ethnographic Terminalia is an initiative that brings artists and anthropologists together to engage emerging research through installation and exhibition. As a platform from which divergent modes and methodologies of inquiry are articulated, Ethnographic Terminalia asks what lies within and beyond disciplinary territories, and how those boundaries shape the representation of cultural practice. Organized as a para-site to the annual Meetings of the American Anthropological Association, the gallery show will take place in Montréal, Canada, at Eastern Bloc Centre for New Media and Interdisciplinary Art (14-20 November 2011). Now in its third year, Ethnographic Terminalia represents a diversity of material, conceptual, and creative engagements with art and anthropology, capturing a multiplicity of mediums where anthropology and art intersect. These include: sound, drawing, sculpture, photography, printmaking, video, film, internet and multi-media, and engage both gallery spaces and site-specific locations.
Panamanian artist Humberto Vélez has accepted our invitation to anchor the 2011 exhibition with a video documentation of his collaborative work, The Awakening. The Awakening activates questions at the heart of collaboration, ethnographic methods of investigation, and aesthetic production emerging from his "Aesthetics of Collaboration" project developed with curator Emelie Chhangur at the Art Gallery of York University, the Mississauga New Credit First Nations, and Monkey Vault Gym Parkour artists in Toronto, Canada. In Ethnographic Terminalia 2011, Vélez's work will be exhibited alongside work selected by the curatorial collective, and works produced by our local partnering organizer, Concordia University's Center for Ethnographic Research and Exhibition in the Aftermath of Violence (CEREV), http://cerev.concordia.ca/.
We seek projects in any medium for inclusion in Ethnographic Terminalia 2011 that take up the theme: field, studio, lab. These three locations––the field, the studio, the lab––comprise both their own communities of practice, and form sites of inquiry and production for artists and anthropologists. Field, studio, and lab are not only places where knowledge is produced, or ethnographic data gathered, but are spaces of everyday life and local cultural production; they are generative sites of encounter, negotiation, conflict, celebration, failure, disappointment and revelation—all of which can unsettle (or ossify) discursive, disciplinary, and methodological boundaries.
Please note that all submissions will become part of an archive that will be displayed as part of the web-based presence of this year's exhibition. By submitting an application you are granting the Ethnographic Terminalia collective full permission to deposit a record of your submission in this archive, and any future publications resulting from Ethnographic Terminalia 2011: Montréal—field, studio, lab. This exciting dimension of the exhibition traces out the larger conversation around the exhibition, providing public visibility for projects that are not installed in the gallery due to logistics and space.
*Works need to arrive in Montréal between November 1-5 2011 to coordinate installation. If you are unable to work with these dates please indicate this in your proposal so that alternative arrangements can be made. Ethnographic Terminalia 2011: Montréal—field, studio, lab will run from 14-21 November 2011. The Opening Reception will take place on Friday 18 November 2011 at 7pm at Eastern Bloc Center for New Media. A public artist's talk with Humberto Vélez will take place prior to the Opening Reception at 5:30pm. (Schedule of events is subject to change).

FAR 2014/01 Black oreo abundance estimates from the November–December 2011 acoustic survey of the south Chatham Rise (OEO 3A)
Report - Fisheries Assessment Report (FAR)
News & Resources, Publications
The abundance of black oreo in area OEO 3A was estimated from an acoustic survey carried out between 17 November and 1 December 2011 using San Waitaki. It was the fourth in the series starting in 1997. The total estimated abundance was 242 500 t with a c.v. of 25%, which was within the specified target CV (20–30%). The 2011 abundance estimate was substantially larger than the 2002 and 2006 survey estimates, but was similar to the 1997 value.

A recent survey found that longer battery life is the number one feature people want in their phone. Here are some science backed ways to help your battery stay charged longer.
Don't let it get too hot. Heat speeds up the chemical reaction inside the battery and drains it faster. So don't leave it next to a heater, or let it sit out in the sun.
Never let the battery die. Lithium ion batteries degrade over time, so eventually they can't hold as much juice on a single charge. And they degrade faster if you always let the battery die before you charge it. So if your phone's about to die, you should just turn it off.
If you won't be using it for a while, store it half-charged. Right around 50% is good, and keep it in a cool, dry place.
It's only worth doing if you're turning it off for at least a few days though. Like if you'll be out of cell range all weekend, or flying overseas where you can't use it. If it's only for a few hours, don't worry about it.


Charlie was chosen to represent our school at the Regional Spelling Bee finals. When we held our Years 3 & 4 spell off, Charlie managed to out spell the other competitors and was the last student standing. Good luck at the finals Charlie, we will be cheering for you.
At this week's assembly Emily was surprised when her Superhero Vegetable design was a winner in the School's recent Fruit and Vegetable promotion. Emily was happy to receive a voucher to spend at our canteen. Well done Emily.
We are helping Ms Dorney prepare for the Southeast Harvest Festival. Our school will be setting up a stall on Saturday 1st April at Riverside Park Moruya. Ms Dorney needed photos for some advertising and we helped out by weeding the garden, feeding and caring for the chickens and taking part in the colouring in competition. It was fun.


At the heart of the atom are protons and neutrons. The characteristics and interactions of neutrons and protons, singly and collectively in the nuclei are responsible for how our cosmos developed and how it works, how our sun provides the heat that sustain the eco-system on earth.
While we have known for fifty years that protons and neutrons are made of quarks and gluons (represented in the figure to the left as spheres with arrows and springs, respectively), we are just beginning to learn how to image the structure and interactions inside protons and neutrons that are at the femto-scale, a million times smaller than the nano-scale of modern micro-electronics.
Jefferson Lab has been at the forefront of this research; the current 12 GeV CEBAF program at JLab is world-leading in this science. The proposed Electron-Ion Collider will be the ultimate instrument for this new science, nuclear femtography.
In October 2015, the Nuclear Science Advisory Committee provided its recommendations on future priorities for the field of nuclear physics, including a long-range plan recommendation to build an EIC.
On 24th July, 2018, The National Academy of Sciences issued it's assessment of the U.S.-Based Electron-Ion Collider Science. The report is available here.

'Observances' by Nuala O'Sullivan part of the 'Gallery Interlude Series' at Lucky Lane, Limerick, with Contact Studios Opening 21 September, 2018.
This exhibition of my work opens on Friday September 21st at 7.00p.m. and continues on Saturday 22 from 11am to 5pm, Sunday 2 - 4 pm, and Monday 11am to 3pm.
Some of the women from the 'Observances' Exhibition opening Friday.
This work as ever uses memory as a starting point with women in a 'situation'. The title 'Observances' comes from both the restrictions, in terms of rites and rituals, women in particular were required to observe in the past, and also from the notion of their being under observation and scrutiny.
The person behind the Gallery Interlude Series is Carl Doran, the Chairperson of Contact Studios. Through his contact with Mark Sheehan and Dave Irwan, both musicians, they have made a space available to show work, with occasional exhibition, at Lucky Lane, Limerick. A great venue and a great shop! Ger Callanan of the Glen Tavern has also sponsored the project and The Bigger Picture Framing Service offers a discount deal on works bought at the show. Many, many thanks to them all. These events help remind the public that Contact Studios are still in search of a city venue to operate from and that they have not gone away.
Thanks especially to Carl for all the organising, Bella for her advice and help with hanging and Ciaran for the most wonderful poster.
Also, I would like to acknowledge Limerick City and County Council for the use of my space in Cappamore.

As the wind gets cooler and the leaves brighter a warm bowl of soup takes on new meaning. It's no longer just food. It's a belly warmer, a mood booster, and an all-in-one easy and affordable meal. It's one of mankind's oldest forms of cooking in all cultures in all parts of the world, because few things nourish and comfort the body and mind so effortlessly like a warm bowl of soup.
What's happening in your soup pot this fall? What are your favourite soup ingredients? Got a recipe to share? Leave a comment with a your recipe link!
Hey Amy, your link to #5 carrot and ginger lentil soup seems to be broken...I found the page though. Just the ink in this post is not working. I'm going to try this recipe. Thank you!

Q: Unable to set up Anaconda on Windows : Path problems I've been trying to setup Anaconda 1.8 on Windows 8.1 but cant get Windows to detect it for the life of me. I've tried adding it in the system path by editing the environment variables and adding C:\Anaconda.
I've tried the Cygwin route and tried to edit .bashrc  and .profile, but the path doesn't seem to reflect the presence of Anaconda.
Powershell output
 PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> python
Python 2.7.3 (default, Apr 10 2012, 23:31:26) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

A: Look closely at your PATH.  If you installed Python before, maybe from the official Python.org installer, it may appear in your PATH before the C:\Anaconda\bin directory.  If so, then this is your problem, and you should remove that other Python installation if you haven't customized it in any way.  If you have customized it, i.e. you have installed packages into it and you don't want to remove it, then you need to move it to the end of your PATH, after the C:\Anaconda\bin entry.

Now, I've warned Brock that if I were to ever meet mini pigs, I would most likely break down into a mess of happy tears. That's exactly what happened. When I realized he had tricked me, I immediately started crying and asking him all sorts of pig questions.
I met the owner of the farm and she showed me the entire process and how she cares for her pigs. I have waited so long and patiently to look into getting a pet because I've read so many horror stories of scammers selling normal pigs and mini pigs — visiting Paradise Ranch put me at ease that they really cared for theirs to go to loving homes and teach new owners as much as possible.
I was able to look at pigs of all ages from afar — these were just a few days old and totally melted my heart.
This is Suki. She is a sweet little girl who was recently adopted by a family who had other pets. Suki was returned to the ranch when the new owners became afraid that their mastiff was going to hurt her, so she's now looking again for a new home. While the ranch owners fed the pigs and other animals around the farm, I sat with Suki and talked to her. She quickly warmed up to me! This was closest I had been to a mini pig and it was hard for me to contain myself.
And then I saw this little dude. He was the runt of a litter just weened — and we bathed him and I was able to hold and hangout with him for a pretty long period of time. I named him Milo and cuddled with him — and I'm hoping that I can make him mine. He had the most adorable little snorts and squeaks and I totally fell in love with him.
I've had such an awesome couple of weeks and this was totally a high point. I already wanted to have a pig, and now I'm really pushing myself into adopting one for my very own.
