Religious actors and organisations often have a key role to play in peace and dialogue processes. Their non-partisanship often grants them both access to and legitimacy with conflicting parties. Ambassador Simon Geissbühler, head of the Peace and Human Rights Division (PHRD) at the FDFA's State Secretariat, has met with representatives of the Vatican and the Protestant and Jewish communities for talks in Rome. For the FDFA, ecumenical dialogue is a welcome platform for peace.

Fostering peace and promoting human rights, which is a constitutionally imposed responsibility and foreign policy priority for Switzerland, is of particular importance in times of increasing conflict. Switzerland's independence, credibility, expertise and discretion can add value in a number of peace processes worldwide. Swiss efforts in this area rely on partnerships with local and international stakeholders.
In many contexts, they are perceived as non-partisan and often have direct access to the conflicting parties. Switzerland views religious actors and organisations as partners in its approach to building peace and security. Last November, Switzerland and the Vatican advanced their cooperation on peace and human rights with a new joint declaration.
Strengthening ecumenical dialogue for peace and human rights, especially in conflict-affected countries in Africa, was one of the aims of the talks held in Rome in February by Ambassador Simon Geissbühler, head of the FDFA's PHRD, with representatives of the Vatican as well as Protestant and Jewish communities: "The high level of professionalism of all the stakeholders and the quality of the peace policy work being done is impressive. We must mobilise this potential even more in future, creating a closer working relationship that is beneficial for everyone."
Switzerland's commitment to peace and human rights
The Federal Constitution of the Swiss Confederation explicitly stipulates that in its foreign relations Switzerland must promote respect for human rights and democracy and the peaceful coexistence of peoples (Art. 54). The Federal Act on Measures pertaining to Civil Peace Support and the Promotion of Human Rights came into effect in 2004. At the FDFA, the PHRD is in charge of implementing the act. Through the activities of this division, Switzerland works to bring conflicting parties together and promote space for dialogue.
Switzerland has peace policy programmes in 20 priority countries aimed at preventing violence, violations of human rights and of international humanitarian law, and promoting peaceful conflict resolution. It also offers its good offices and acts as a mediator if requested to do so by the involved parties. Switzerland also seconds specialists to peacekeeping and political missions for the UN and OSCE.
An example of Swiss cooperation with religious actors – South Sudan
Ecumenical platforms are important actors in preventing conflict, finding peaceful settlements to conflicts, and reducing political tensions, both at regional level and in national and local contexts. Switzerland supports religious and interreligious platforms in some countries as part of its peacebuilding activities.
In South Sudan for example, Switzerland provides its expertise in mediation to the South Sudan Council of Churches (SSCC), an ecumenical alliance of the country's largest churches that support dialogue and reconciliation initiatives at the highest political level as well as grassroots level.
As was the case before South Sudan gained its independence in 2011, the country's churches play an important role in the resolution of conflicts between political parties and armed groups.
Meeting in Rome to strengthen ecumenical dialogue for peace
Ambassador Simon Geissbühler, head of the PHRD, talks about his meetings with religious actors in the Vatican.
Ambassador Simon Geissbühler's meetings with Vatican representatives focused on the implementation of the 8 November 2021 memorandum of understanding on peacebuilding and protecting human rights. The main goal of the talks was to identify possible areas of cooperation – bilaterally, in specific parts of Africa, the Middle East and Latin America, as well as multilaterally, especially with regard to ensuring freedom of expression, protecting minorities and abolishing the death penalty.
Mr Geissbühler also met with representatives of Protestant and Jewish communities to discuss how to strengthen the ecumenical dialogue to promote peace.
The importance of remembering for peacebuilding
In his capacity as Switzerland's representative to the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA), Mr Geissbühler was also able to exchange views with experts from the Fondazione per la Shoah di Roma. President of the Confederation Ignazio Cassis also underlined the significance of remembering in his speech marking this year's International Holocaust Remembrance Day, stating that only by understanding how atrocities could have taken place in the past can we hope to prevent them in the future.
Switzerland and Holy See celebrate 100 years of renewed diplomatic relations (press release, 08.11.2021)
FDFA 11.12.2020
Switzerland had no formal diplomatic ties with the Vatican for almost five decades. In 1920 the Federal Council decided to restore diplomatic relations with the Holy See. A century later, relations between Switzerland and the Vatican are excellent and talks are already under way on strengthening this cooperation.

POTD: Ryan Braun (5 hits)
August 3, 2010 (Tuesday)
JEWISH BASEBALL NEWS — Here is your player of the day for Monday, August 2, 2010:
LF Ryan Braun of the Milwaukee Brewers went 5-for-7 (all singles) with 2 RBIs in an 18-1 massacre of the Chicago Cubs, lifting his season batting average seven points to .281. Braun's only other five-hit game came on 4/21/2009, when he went 5-for-5 with 2 HRs and 4 RBIs in an 11-4 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. Braun started the 2010 season on fire but has cooled off considerably since then, batting .355 in April, .286 in May, .264 in June, and .200 in July. He hit .320 in 2009. According to Martin Abramowitz of Jewish Major Leaguers, the record for hits in a single 9-inning game by a Jewish batter is six, shared by Texas Rangers 2B Ian Kinsler and Shawn Green. Kinsler went 6-for-6 and hit for the cycle last year against the Baltimore Orioles (4/15/2009), driving in 4 runs and crossing the plate 5 times. Green, then in right field for the Los Angeles Dodgers, went 6-for-6 with four home runs against the Milwaukee Brewers on 5/23/02, with 7 RBIs and 6 runs scored.

US Designates Two LeT Leaders As "Global Terrorists" And Student Wing Al-Muhammadia Students As "Terrorist Organisation"
by Suchismita Biswas - December 29, 2016 0
The US has designated two Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba top leaders as "global terrorists" and also the group's student wing Al-Muhammadia Students a "terrorist organisation".
The US Treasury Department designated Shahid Mahmood and Muhammad Sarwar as global terrorists.
LeT's student wing works with the senior leaders of the organisation, they recruit people and organise activities for the youth.
The State Department in a press release said, "Through its authorities under Section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act and Executive Order (E.O.) 13224, the State Department announces the amendment of the Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) and Specially Designated Global Terrorist entity designations of Lashkar e-Tayyiba (LeT) to include the alias Al-Muhammadia Students (AMS)."
The release added, "The consequences of the FTO and E.O. 13224 designations include a prohibition against knowingly providing, or attempting or conspiring to provide, material support or resources to, or engaging in transactions with this organization, and the blocking of all property and interests in property of designated persons subject to U.S. jurisdiction."
In December 2001, the US designated LeT a terrorist organisation. Since then, LeT has repeatedly changed its name and created front organisations in an effort to avoid sanctions.
Acting Director Office of Foreign Assets Control, John E Smith said these two LeT leaders' duty were to raise funds to support the group's operations. "Today's action not only aims to expose their activities, but also disrupts Lashkar-e-Taiba's financial network and ability to carry out violent terrorist attacks."
According to the Treasury Department, Sarwar has been a senior LeT leader in Lahore for more than 10 years. Currently, he is the LeT's emir for Lahore. He has held this position since January 2015.
He worked with LeT's foreign affairs chief Hafiz Abdul Rahman Makki in between 2012 and 2013.
Another terrorist Mahmood, a senior LeT member based in Karachi and has been associated with the group since 2007. His areas of responsibility included Bangladesh and Saudi Arabia, the Treasury said.
He also served as the vice chairman of Falah-i-Insaniat Foundation (FIF), a fund raising arm of LeT. The Treasury also said that earlier Mahmood was part of LeT's overseas operations team led by Sajjid Mir. Mir was designated a global terrorist in 2012.
The Treasury said in 2011, Mahmood claimed that LeT's main concern should be attacking India and America.

Buhari gives service chiefs marching orders to end insecurity
President Muhammadu Buhari has given service chiefs and other heads of security agencies marching orders to end the reign of insecurity across the country.
This is even as security chiefs say that with the setting up of Operation Puff Adder, there has been a remarkable drop in the number of kidnappings.
Buhari ordered them to ensure that Nigerians go to bed confident that their security is guaranteed.
Chief of Naval Staff, Rear Admiral Ibok Ekwe Ibas, stated this while briefing State House correspondents on the outcome of the meeting which started at 11:30 am and ended shortly before 3 pm.
Speaking on the purpose of the meeting he said: "It was just basically to brief Mr. President of the security situation after his short vacation abroad. The security agencies briefed him on what has been happening with particular emphasis on the proliferation of small arms and what various agencies are doing to curtail the consequences of this proliferation.
"He has also given directives that the agencies should do much more to ensure that Nigerians go to bed and wake up feeling healthy and confident that their security is guaranteed."
On kidnapping which is on the increase, the Naval Chief said: "You will recall during the last meeting, the IG was directed to ensure that insecurity is addressed and consequently various operations were set up. Puff Adder was one of the strategies. With the set up of that operation, there has been a remarkable drop in the number of kidnappings. What normally would attract attention is when a key person in government perhaps is kidnapped. On the whole, the number of kidnappings has dropped and generally I think the security situation is improving."
On the kidnapped District Head of Daura, Alhaji Musa Umar, Ibas disclosed that two suspects had been arrested.
He said: "Serious efforts are being made, key suspects have been arrested and it is hoped that in a short while, those behind the heinous crime will be brought to book."
The security meeting is the second this week called by President Buhari following the rising cases of banditry and kidnapping among other security challenges facing the country.
Buhari had on Tuesday received briefing from the security chiefs at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Others in attendance were the Chief of Defence Staff, General Gabriel Olonisakin; Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, and Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshall Abubakar Sadique.
Others were the acting Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, the National Security Adviser, Babagana Monguno; Minister of Defence, Mansur Dan- Ali; Minister of Interior, General Abdulrahaman Dambazau, Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), Ahmed Abubakar, and the Director-General of Department for State Service (DSS), Yusuf Magaji Bichi.
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, and Minister of Interior, Lt. Gen. Abdulrahman Dambazzau were also part of the meeting. – The Sun.

MBIE believes the value of residential property investment over the next 5 years will be 2-5 times higher than Treasury projects; Twyford says Treasury's math is 'simply wrong'
Phil Twyford cartoon by Jacky Carpenter.
Housing and Urban Development Minister Phil Twyford is slamming Treasury for its estimate that the amount of investment in residential property over the next five years will be half of what was projected five months ago.
Treasury, in its Budget Economic and Fiscal Update (BEFU) released on Thursday, said: "Changes in the timing of capital expenditure on KiwiBuild since the Half Year Update (HYEFU) mean the boost to growth occurs later in the forecast period than previously assumed."
Accordingly, it believes a greater portion of investment will occur after 2022 than previously expected.
Yet talking to interest.co.nz, Twyford said Treasury's math was "simply wrong".
"It doesn't actually reflect the volume of houses that are being built and it doesn't take into account the fact that KiwiBuild's recycling capital over and over."
Pressed on whether he was just trying to spin the numbers in his favour, Twyford pointed to a paper the Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment (MBIE) gave him on Tuesday.
While Treasury believes that $2.5 billion will be spent on residential property investment in New Zealand between 2018 and 2022, MBIE put this figure at between $4.8 billion and $11.6 billion.
With this somewhat on par with Treasury's December projection of $5.4 billion, MBIE said it had recommended Treasury carry its projection from HYEFU through to BEFU.
In the paper, MBIE detailed what it believed to be a misleading set of assumptions used by Treasury.
'Incorrect' assumptions
It said Treasury assumed that under the KiwiBuild model the Government would have to kick-start investment by parting with its money before the private sector.
Yet in reality, MBIE said that most KiwiBuild houses to be built in the next four years will be built through the Buying off the Plans scheme, which essentially sees the Government underwrite private development.
The majority of Government spending will therefore follow residential investment, rather than precede it.
Getting into the detail, MBIE explained: "Buying off the plans enables the Crown to induce high levels of residential investment from low levels of initial expenditure.
"If committing to actually purchasing the house, the Crown can expect to pay a 10% deposit up front and then not have to pay the other 90% until the home is completed. In between, the developer actually builds the new homes.
"Thus, a 10% deposit is enough to induce 100% of the residential investment required to construct a home before the other 90% of the purchase price is required.
"Alternatively, the Crown can guarantee to purchase a new home if the developer is unable to sell it. In this case, the Crown pays nothing up front, but its guarantee still induces 100% of the residential investment for the guaranteed homes.
"Even if the Crown needs to incur an expense against the chance that the guarantee will be triggered, when spread across the total portfolio of homes under guarantee, this provision is likely to be a relatively low proportion of total value (eg 10-20%).
"Again, therefore, low expenses induce high residential investment."
MBIE also argued Treasury ignored the impact of houses being on-sold, as well as the investment that KiwiBuild would drive.
It said KiwiBuild would not only accelerate the delivery of KiwiBuild homes, but also of non-KiwiBuild homes.
Original plans remain in place
Twyford acknowledged that trying to model the effect of KiwiBuild on overall residential investment was "almost a hypothetical or academic exercise".
Treasury in BEFU recognised there was a "high degree of uncertainty".
Yet Twyford said, "MBIE is much closer to the industry and to the market. They have a much more intimate understanding of how KiwiBuild is being rolled out. Treasury have made a number of highly questionable assumptions."
He wanted to make the point that even though the figures in Treasury's BEFU were way off those in HYEFU, the Government hadn't changed the "sequencing and the volume" of new houses to be built as a part of KiwiBuild.
The target of building 100,000 affordable houses for first home buyers over 10 years remains. The expectation for this to cost the Government $2 billion over five years, also remains.
Housing NZ eyes $1 bln debt issue
Meanwhile, Housing NZ has hired ANZ and Westpac as it plans a series of meetings with fixed income investors ahead of issuing about $1 billion of debt before June 30 next year.
The Government has increased the limit on Housing NZ's Borrowing Protocol, allowing it to seek financing from outside the Crown, from $1.08 billion to $3.05 billion. Any bond issue will be offered to both NZ and overseas institutional, or professional, investors. Housing NZ has an AA+ credit rating from S&P with a stable outlook.

So, who are we to believe: the Minister from the party that is notorious for not doing policy analysis, or the people for whom policy analysis is their bread and butter?
by Pharos | 18th May 18, 4:45pm 1526618700
My guess, be it right or be it wrong, would be Treasury. In hindsight it s obvious Treasury wielded great fiscal influence in the last government. That was, one suspects, because that government set rigid financial objectives and came to rely on the accuracy of Treasury forecasts and monitoring. To put it another way, the outright priority was a satisfactory balance sheet for "Corporate New Zealand." The impact of that administration can be seen in what is emerging from the Southern Response EQ claim management where restricting financial outgo took priority over the fair rights of the policy holder. But in terms of today and this column here, if you are just talking financial numbers, then surely it is a foregone conclusion that Treasury should be the bible in this regard. If they cannot be trusted in their ability to analyse, then surely we are all in quite a lot of trouble.

by Yvil | 19th May 18, 4:11pm 1526703060
The developers will lose money if they lower the price as you suggest, so they will go bust, then nothing gets built. In order for houses/apartments to get built, developers need to know they can make a profit and show that to the banks so they can get finance to start the projects. That's why the Government is guaranteeing a fixed sale price

No...reduce the "Interest rates"......Don't you know anything about "Houses"...let some sucker...borrow......
QE...Qe...D.
So we are splitting hair here, right?
the clever dudes in the MBIE who have "intimate understanding of how KiwiBuild is being rolled out" will tangle themselves with 10% deposits and kick the can down the road for 12-24 months depending on the project at which time they will still have to come up with the remaining of the money .. and that is what treasury said !
Now, they are hoping for two things to happen like clock work:
a- they sell all the units bought of the plans ( very risky business)
b- sell the unit underwritten by the Gov otherwise they have to wear them!
So nothing could supposedly go wrong ... and by doing so they think that that will encourage the private sector and developers to pop out loads of affordable units every 9 months for the Gov to buy.
Why not share this "intimate understanding of how KiwiBuild is being rolled out " with the public to assure people that there is no rat in this delusional project ?
Maybe they would like to tell us who and how many projects they have signed on or have in the pipeline and when ?

This smells like the time Gerry attacked Treasury fur saying the Christchurch rebuild projects were in bad shape. Later on we found out the Christchurch rebuild projects were in bad shape.
Still, the maths is possible. If they sign eight properties up on a 10% deposit basis and flip them on completion that only costs 80% of a house with a 20% buffer. Question is though, is that what they are actually doing? Or is it just hypothetical.
Hardly, we agree. You should have posted beneath my likewise comment above.

The internship experience at Pennsylvania College of Art & Design is an important link between a student's curricular preparations in the visual arts and the myriad ways that training can be applied in real-world employment.
PCA&D requires students in all BFA degree majors — fine arts, graphic design, illustration and photography — to successfully complete a professional-level internship or mentorship before graduating.
Every summer, our students work on internships at sports magazines and design firms, with independent photographers, and at art centers in the region.
"Interning at Harrisburg University of Science and Technology was very enriching. It involved two major responsibilities. The first, was to teach illustration to high school students. The second, was to illustrate a board game that was designed by one of the talented students at HU. While teaching I got to learn about game design and I was able to learn how to use the game engine Unity. I was also able to make some great connections. Interning at H.U. taught me a lot and it helped me open my mind as an illustrator. The second part of my internship involved many illustrations to work out while under the guidance of an Art Director. However, it was just what I needed to really push myself and build the discipline and drive required to work as a freelancing illustrator." – Tabitha Park, Illustration '18.
Students are expected to seek out and propose internship opportunities but guidance and direct referral are also provided by department chairs, internship coordinators and faculty in the major departments.
All internships must ultimately be approved by the department chair or internship coordinator and are expected to occur in the summer between the third and fourth years in the Bachelor of Fine Arts program. In some cases, the internship process can continue into the fourth year as long as there is no time conflict with required course work.
Written description from the site (on letterhead stationery) that outlines the student's responsibilities during the internship period and states who will supervise the intern. According to department standards for the level of professionalism to be achieved during the internship experience, the department chair or internship coordinator may approve or deny an internship at this stage.

This group of page is temporally disabled
As the site is currently being restructured to make it clearer and accessible, this set of pages is currently unavailable.
In early 2000, when this site was first published, I didn't at the time use all the benefits of the new CSS techniques for the layout, which is creating lately too much effort in maintaining the site. As I go along with the changes, I will then take the occasion to make it full CSS compliant. I expect a reduction in weight of the pages of at least 80%, which will also make the site a lot faster and easier to consult.
For all these reasons, this block of pages is unfortunately temporally disabled, but we can expect to have it back fairly soon.

text: Q: Configure JRebel with Seam 2.2.0.GA (seam-gen project) I've been trying to configure JRebel 4.5 to work with a project generated by seam-gen. My JBoss server 5.1 is already configured (I can see the JRebel greeting when starting the server, JRebel Agent is enabled), automatic publishing is disabled. I put rebel.xml in src/hot, but it doesn't work, I tried modifying build.xml to copy rebel.xml to the WAR's WEB-INF/classes and the root of jar: I opened the .ear file with Winrar, checked the war and jar, files are in those locations, but still nothing. No class reloading notices in the console, no changes applied on the fly. Clearly I'm missing something. What should I do?


OKAY so I have been adding along all my little updates to the Bloggiesta challenge but that post is getting aggravating to add to.
I did want to say that I am flabbergasted that my Google Alert for BurtonReview came back with some crazy site that took all my words from said post and inserted their own crud in between them.
http://twilightreviews.123log.de/ the homepage till they rip something else that posts after my ripped post. OYE VEY!!


The county disaster management committee has expressed concern about the high number of people who have drowned in the past one month.
The committee chairperson, Justus Maina, said since the beginning of the rains more than a month ago, 31 people had died in various rivers.
Mr Maina noted that a high number of cases were reported at Nyangores River.
The chairman, who is also the county administration and ICT executive, said there was an urgent need to educate residents on the need to be careful during the rainy season.
"The number of drowning cases is concerning us. We have had to go talk to those living near rivers to be extra careful during the rainy season. Most of these rivers are full now," said Maina.
A disaster management officer, Stanley Mutai, said 28 bodies had been retrieved while the search for three others was going on at Nyangores and Itare rivers.
In their report yesterday, the disaster management team said the drowning cases were recorded at Nyangores, Kipsonoi and Chemosit rivers and several dams.
Twenty-two victims drowned while trying to use bridges on flooded rivers while six were recorded as suicide cases.
Mr Mutai also said two people had not been identified and the bodies were still lying at the Longisa Referral Hospital mortuary.
"So far we have received reports of 31 drowning cases and out of these, 27 are from Bomet while four are from neighbouring Kericho County. We have yet to find the other three. The cases have been reported to the police and the search is going on," he noted yesterday.
Mutai said his office has started educating the public, especially the people living downstream and those close to rivers, to move to safer zones.
"We have had cases of people trying to cross rivers while drunk, so we educate them on the need to avoid risking their lives," said the officer.
The residents asked the county administration to build safe bridges on rivers.
Richard Korir said many of the drowning cases were caused by bad bridges.
"It is a shame that despite the appeal for better bridges to help people cross some of these rivers, no one has heeded our calls. The blame for the deaths lies with the county leadership," added Mr Korir.


This P&E parish has a very significant 51.27% of the population consisting of faiths other than Christianity. It is a P&E parish.
In the chart above you can see the breakdown of the population faith groups in your parish. If you are a 'Presence and Engagement' parish then this means that 10% or more of your population are from a faith group other than Christianity.
Our aim is to support Christians engaging with other faiths either locally or virtually through the media, and to provide resources for parishes reflecting theologically on what it means to be a Christian amidst increasing religious diversity.
Traditionally, the Church of England has taken responsibility for the care of all souls in each parish; what does this mean in a multi-religious world?
Are you from a parish with a majority of other faiths in your area, looking for examples of good practice in working with other religions for social change?
Are you interested in theological questions about Christian identity in relation to other religions?
Would you like advice about how to welcome people from another faith community to your church?
In the map to the right you can see local places of worship – if you have not already, why not contact the place of worship of the nearest religious community in your area and go for a visit?
Are you already involved in inter religious dialogue and social action? Please contact us at the central office of 'Presence and Engagement' and also your local P&E Centre to tell us about your work with other religions in your area.
Alternatively, contact us at the central office of 'Presence and Engagement' and at your local P&E Centre.

The time when a Formula 1 team would design its car, bolt an engine in the back, fill it up with fuel and head off testing to see if it had built a diamond or a dud is long gone.
Indeed, the arrival of the turbo hybrid era sealed the fact that getting ahead in F1 was all about packaging the car and engine together. Only by developing them in tandem could a team really hope to achieve success.
The V6 power unit itself was a harmony development story too, because in a bid to get the most out of the original 100 litres per race fuel limit, the oil and petrol being used needed to fit it perfectly. These two elements had to progress together.
"We cannot optimise independently, we have to design a vehicle around its cooling capacity," explains Geoff Willis, Mercedes' director of digital engineering transformation. "We have to design the engine around its lubrication potential and the power density of the fuel. All of these trade offs, we are making all the time, and we cannot do them apart.
"So the better the communication we have, the better we are working together. It has changed the nature of F1 design in the last five or six years."
Chasing more performance is a never ending task for engineers and, with the turbo hybrid rules reaching a level of maturity, the diminishing returns that the top teams have seen from previous avenues of development means the focus has moved to new areas.
With F1 having a single tyre supplier, rules requiring just three power units per season, plus limits on the number of races a gearbox must do, one of the avenues where free thinking - and therefore big progress - can take place is in oils and lubricants.
"The lubricant is one of the few handles in F1 that you can turn," says Eric Holthusen, chief technology officer of Mercedes fuel and lubricants partner Petronas. "It is regulated but not heavily regulated, and you can make a lot of changes during the season, which for a lot of the components of the engine and of the car is not possible.
"And the more the other components are regulated, the more opportunities there are on the fluid side. Small improvements, they matter."
A recent visit to Petronas's R&D headquarters in Turin revealed that not only is the oil giant increasing its commitment to find new products, but that the pressure on it to find breakthrough chemicals has escalated because teams have realised that what is done in laboratories can help a car's aerodynamics too.
The game has changed a lot for fuel/oil suppliers since 2014. Holthusen has noticed that power gains from these are areas are actually no longer on top of Mercedes' wish list.
"From what I have seen, the first two years were all about fuel - fuel was king," he says. "But the last two years [it] was lubricants."
The reasons for this change are now becoming clear. Teams have realised that if the oil companies can come up with a development that means their products can improve cooling dramatically - either through reducing the amount of lubricant needed or in allowing the engine and gearbox to run hotter - that can bring knock-on benefits in terms of aero and car packaging.
"If we can run at higher temperatures, if we have more efficient cooling systems, we can run smaller coolers on the car, we can run tighter bodywork, we can have more effective downforce generation, and we can have reduced drag," adds Willis.
"We are in a fuel limited formula, so we can use more power to accelerate the car and less power to overcome the drag. All of these things are all acting together all the time."
Holthusen explains that "Friction reduction is still an area where you can gain a lot, because it works both ways".
"One way is it reduces the friction in the engine and you get more power out of your fuel volume," he continues. "On the other hand, friction reduction reduces temperatures and reducing temperatures allows the team to reduce the surface of the heat exchangers, which then gives the aerodynamic teams more degrees of freedom.
"It was something that in the beginning we didn't pay too much attention to, but then the team came to us [saying], 'If you actually help to improve the thermal management then that gives us this degree of freedom.'"
A classic example of an area where teams want to push things further is in the gearbox, where oil operates at around 130C. One of the limitations that teams have found as they try to make gearboxes smaller - or have less cooling required for them - is that the oil gets flung around by the gears and, as it mixes with the air, it turns into foam.
Managing this foam and being able to cool it is a big challenge, but Mercedes knows that a product step forward would change what its designers could do.
"When we talk about gearbox oil, it is not really oil," says Willis. "As the gears are spinning and the oil is being flung around, it is being mixed with the air inside the space inside the gearbox, and it turns into this foam.
"So when you try to pump that oil through a cooler it is not pure oil with all the thermal properties that oil has, it is this mixture of oil and air.
"There is lots of potential to improve the physical properties of that oil to allow us to cool it. Any of the chemistry developments that can enable that foam to settle out much faster, to get denser oil and get that air out, mean we get a more efficient cooler and we can package it better.
"And if we can cool it faster then that allows us to run smaller gearboxes, smaller bearings, smaller cooling demands - it is all benefit for us."
Willis reckons this renewed area of focus on lubricants throws up the possibility of a different kind of eureka moment for F1 designers. Finding a chemical that transforms cooling could be a game changer for overall car concepts.
"If you can reduce heat rejection from the power unit, then sometimes it is not just a question of degree where you can be a little bit smaller with this or that, it can sometimes allow you completely different layouts," he says.
"A 2-3% improvement can lift you over a threshold, and suddenly this new layout is possible to do. And that can allow me to do a completely different aerodynamic concept. That is why this can be a very powerful thing."
Part of F1's attraction has always been that it is a technology proving ground. That there is now a direct link between the chemicals used in oil and a car's aero concept demonstrates just how extreme and creative that technology push has become.

The Loos Memorial forms the sides and back of Dud Corner Cemetery.
Loos-en-Gohelle is a village 5 kilometres north-west of Lens, and Dud Corner Cemetery is located about 1 kilometre west of the village, to the north-east of the D943, the main Lens to Bethune road.
Dud Corner Cemetery stands almost on the site of a German strong point, the Lens Road Redoubt, captured by the 15th (Scottish) Division on the first day of the battle.
The name "Dud Corner" is believed to be due to the large number of unexploded enemy shells found in the neighbourhood after the Armistice.
The memorial was designed by Sir Herbert Baker with sculpture by Charles Wheeler. It was unveiled by Sir Nevil Macready on 4 August 1930.
Lieutenant Colonel Angus Falcolner Douglas-Hamilton, V. C.
Commanding 6th Bn. Cameron Highlanders, killed in action 26th September 1915, aged 52. Panel 119-124.
Son of the late Maj. Gen. Octavius Douglas-Hamilton; husband of Anna W. Mackenzie Douglas-Hamilton, of Ord, Forest Hill, Muir of Ord, Rossshire. Joined Cameron Highlanders in 1884.
Citation: An extract from The "London Gazette," dated 18th Nov., 1915, recorded the following:-"For most conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty when commanding his battalion during operations on 25th and 26th September, 1915, on Hill 70. On the 26th, when the battalions on his right and left had retired, he rallied his own battalion again and again, and led his men forward four times. The last time he led all that remained, consisting of about fifty men, in a most gallant manner and was killed at their head. It was mainly due to his bravery, untiring energy and splendid leadership that the line at this point was enabled to check the enemy's advance."
R/11941, Rifleman George Peachment, V. C.
2nd Bn. King's Royal Rifle Corps, killed in action 25th September 1915, aged 18. Panel 101 and 102.
Son of Mrs. Mary Peachment, of The Nook, Hilda Avenue, Tottington, Bury, Lancs.
Citation: An extract from "The London Gazette", dated 18th Nov., 1915, records the following:-"For most conspicuous bravery near Hulluch on 25th Sept., 1915. During very heavy fighting, when our front line was compelled to retire in order to re-organise, Pte. Peachment, seeing his Company Commander, Captain Dubs, lying wounded, crawled to assist him. The enemy's fire was intense, but, though there was a shell hole quite close, in which a few men had taken cover, Pte. Peachment never thought of saving himself. He knelt in the open by his Officer and tried to help him, but while doing this he was first wounded by a bomb and a minute later mortally wounded by a rifle bullet. He was one of the youngest men in his battalion and gave this splendid example of courage and self-sacrifice."
Born Parkhills, Fishpool, Bury, Lancashire on 5th May 1897. His parents were George Henry and Mary. Educated at Parkhills United Methodist Church School. St, Chad's and Bury Technical School. He was an apprentice fitter engineer at Ashworth & Parker of Elton, Bury and later another Bury firm J. H. Riley. George enlisted 18th April 1915, in 5th K.R.R.C falsely giving his age as 19 years and one month, although he was only 17 years and 11 months. He then went absent from 7.30p.m. on 2nd July until 8.10a.m. on 5th July 1915 and for this he was fined seven days pay. Eventually George transferred to the 2nd Battalion on posting to France 27th July 1915. He was later confined to barracks for three days on 19th September 1915, for having a dirty sword (bayonet) whilst on guard mount parade.
The officer saved by George Peachment was Captain Guy Rattray Dubs. He was born in 1890 and commissioned in the K.R.R.C on 15th July 1910. he became a temporary Captain on 10th September 1914 and Captain 9thNovember 1915. Later awarded the Military Cross and French Croix de Guerre. He was Brigade Major of 140th Infantry Brigade from July 1917 to May 1918. He was promoted Brevet Major 3rd June 1918, and attended Staff College in 1926, Promoted Major 21st October 1928 and retired from the Army about 1930.
The 2nd K.R.R.C suffered particularly badly in an attack and, having failed to break into the enemy positions, was ordered to reorganise in the front line. As Rifleman Peachment retired he saw his company commander, Captain G. R. Dubs, lying wounded. The enemy fire was intense but in spite of this Peachment crawled to the officer's assistance. Ignoring the danger he knelt over Dubs to attend to his wounds. Peachment was wounded by a bomb splinter but continued his work even though he could have sheltered in nearby shell-holes. A minute later a rifle bullet fatally wounded him. He was one of the youngest soldiers in the Battalion.

Citation: An extract from The London Gazette dated 31st July, 1917, records the following:- "For most conspicuous bravery when in command of a small party on the left of a raid on the enemy's trenches. He gained his objective in the face of much opposition and by his magnificent example and daring was able to maintain this position for a considerable time, according to instructions. During this period 2nd Lt. Wearne and his small party were repeatedly counter-attacked. Grasping the fact that if the left flank was lost his men would have to give way, 2nd Lt. Wearne, at a moment when the enemy's attack was being heavily pressed and when matters were most critical, leapt on the parapet and, followed by his left section, ran along the top of the trench, firing and throwing bombs. This unexpected and daring manoeuvre threw the enemy off his guard and back in disorder. Whilst on the top of the trench 2nd Lt. Wearne was severely wounded, but refused to leave his men. Afterwards he remained in the trench directing operations, consolidating his position and encouraging all ranks. Just before the order to withdraw was given, this gallant officer was again severely hit for the second time, and while being carried away was mortally wounded. By his tenacity in remaining at his post though severely wounded, and his magnificent fighting spirit, he was enabled to hold on to the flank."
"A great deal of nonsense has been written about Loos. The real tragedy of that battle was its nearness to complete success. Most of us who reached the crest of Hill 70, and survived, were firmly convinced that we had broken through on that Sunday, 25th September 1915. There seemed to be nothing ahead of us, but an unoccupied and incomplete trench system. The only two things that prevented our advancing into the suburbs of Lens were, firstly, the exhaustion of the "Jocks" themselves (for they had undergone a bellyfull of marching and fighting that day) and, secondly, the flanking fire of numerous German machine-guns, which swept that bare hill from some factory buildings in Cite St. Auguste to the south of us. All that we needed was more artillery ammunition to blast those clearly-located machine-guns, plus some fresh infantry to take over from the weary and depleted "Jocks." But, alas, neither ammunition nor reinforcements were immediately available, and the great opportunity passed."
