Craft-Bamboo Racing victorious in GT4, challenging weekend in GT3 despite two pole positions
Darryl O'Young and Alessio Picariello fastest in GT3 Qualifying to score double pole-positions
Frank Yu and Jean-Marc Merlin score first victory of the season in GT4
Double podium finish in GT4 category
Championship points scored in GT3 Silver Cup, GT3 Pro-Am and GT4 classes
Rounds 3 & 4 of the 2019 Blancpain GT World Challenge Asia series were held at the Chang International Circuit in Buriram, Thailand. The team were confident going into the weekend, and strong pace meant that Craft-Bamboo Racing's Alessio Picariello and Darryl O'Young managed to score pole positions for the #88 and #99 cars. In the GT4 class, Frank Yu and Jean-Marc Merlin scored the team's first victory of the season in Race 1, followed by a top-3 finish in race 2. Qualifying Results #55 Mercedes-AMG GT3 | Daniel Au & Melvin Moh Q1 | P24 – 1:39.751 Q2 | P11 – 1:34.185 #88 Mercedes-AMG GT3 | Jeffrey Lee & Alessio Picariello Q1 | P13 – 1:36.095 Q2 | P1 – 1:32.731 #99 Mercedes-AMG GT3 | Darryl O'Young & Christina Nielsen Q1 | P1 – 1:34.322 Q2 | P19 – 1:34.948 #77 Mercedes-AMG GT4 | Frank Yu & Jean-Marc Merlin Q1 | P3 – 1:44.742 Q2 | P3 – 1:44.954 Race 1 Report #99 Mercedes-AMG GT3 O'Young took the start for the #99 from pole position after a great qualifying that saw him grab pole in the dying minutes of the session. On the opening lap however, O'Young dropped one position from what was a controversial move by the Porsche exceeding the track limits in turn 1 and turn 2 to get by. In the following laps O'Young had strong pace and managed to stay within striking distance of the leader, but dropped back to P3 before making his stop. After Christina Nielsen took over the controls of the #99 car, she emerged 7th after the pit window due to the 5 second success penalty from Sepang. The double whammy came when Nielsen picked up a Stop-Go penalty due to insufficient pitstop time, being under by 0.3 seconds, dropping #99 down the field to 13th. She kept her head down and despite the mid-pack traffic, Nielsen managed to set lap times that were equal to the leading cars. However the #99 car eventually crossed the line in 13th place, with unrealized potential and work to do for the second race. #88 Mercedes-AMG GT3 Jeffrey Lee started the race for the #88 car from 13th place and at the start, was caught up in the opening lap mid-pack scrap, dropping him down to 17th place. Knowing that he had better pace than the cars in front, he set to work chasing down the cars in front. Several laps later as Lee was in a battle for position, there was unfortunate side-to-side contact which resulted in damage to the #88 car. Lee managed to keep the car going, and handed the car to Picariello after a thorough inspection by the crew at the pit-stop. Emerging 18th after the pit-stop window, Picariello immediately started setting the fastest laps of the race, and sought to close the gaps up. During his stint, Picariello showed his abilities when fighting in close traffic and within 5 laps following the pitstop he had overtaken three cars, and set his sights on chasing down the pack ahead. However the Belgian ran out of time and crossed the line in 14th place. #55 Mercedes-AMG GT3 Starting from 24th position, Daniel Au had work to do during the race and quickly moved up one position in the opening laps. In the remainder of his stint, the Singaporean drove a clean and measured stint, managing to fight his way up to P10 in the Pro-Am class. Au showed great progress in his racecraft, as he diced for position whilst managing the tyres under pressure. 25 minutes in, Au pitted to hand the car over to Melvin Moh. Moh emerged 22nd but a stop-and-go penalty dropped the #55 car 2 laps down. Melvin showed great pace in the following laps, but the unfortunate penalty meant that he was unable to recover from the substantial time loss. The Malaysian's pace was on par with the fastest cars on track, but Moh eventually crossed the line in 23rd position with lots of unrealized potential. #77 Mercedes-AMG GT4 Frank Yu started in 3rd position in GT4, and on lap one, immediately muscled his way past into 2nd place. It was a heated opening few laps, as the Hong Kong race driver was in a multi-way battle for the lead. Yu ran as low as 4th due to the exchange of positions, but the Hong Kong driver kept his focus, and eventually made his way back up to 2nd just before the pitstop window. Jean-Marc Merlin emerged 2nd in class after the pit, and with the leader in sight in the distance, he set to work to close the gap. Merlin's great pace meant he caught up to the leader with 15 minutes to go. The Frenchman's strong racecraft meant that he managed to find his way past after finding a gap, putting the #77 GT4 in the lead of the category. He came under immense pressure towards the end but kept a cool head and took the team's maiden GT4 victory in the 2019 season. Race 2 Report #99 Mercedes-AMG GT3 Christina Nielsen started Race 2 from 19th position, and she got a great start, decisively placing her car to defend her position. Her quick progress in the opening few laps meant that within the first 10 minutes she had moved up to 17th place. Nielsen drove brilliantly to keep the gaps close to the cars in front, setting teammate O'Young up well for the second stint. However when O'Young exited the pits he noticed an issue with the handling, forcing him to pit for the team to rectify the issue. The team replaced the wheel which fixed the issue, and O'Young rejoined the race set to work on a recovery drive. However with 10 minutes to go, a Safety car intervention was called and that allowed O'Young to close up the gaps. On the restart, he took advantage of the close proximity and made up several positions, and a strong end to his stint meant that the #99 finished in P9 overall. However a post-race penalty of 15 seconds was issued to the #99 car for stopping 15 seconds short during O'Young's stop to fix the issue with the rear wheel, resulting in O'Young and Nielsen being classified in 13th place. #88 Mercedes-AMG GT3 Following a dominant qualifying session which saw Alessio Picariello put the #88 car in pole position by 7 tenths of a second, the team were optimistic for a strong result. He assertively defended the lead on the opening lap and immediately got to work building a gap to the 2nd placed car. Picariello's great pace meant that he was able to control the race from the front, preserving his tyres whilst opening a gap of up to 7 seconds to the chasing cars. When teammate Jeffrey Lee jumped into the car, swift pitwork from the crew meant he emerged after the window still in the lead. However with 10 minutes to go and defending hard into the hairpin, contact was made from a car trying to overtake him on the outside which resulted in heavy damage and a puncture. Lee managed to bring the car back and despite the team quickly fixing the damage, Lee had dropped down the order and eventually crossed the line in 16th. #55 Mercedes-AMG GT3 Starting mid-pack was going to be tricky, but Melvin Moh kept the #55 car out of trouble as several cars tangled ahead. After the exchange of positions on opening laps, Moh was in 13th place, and did a great job to keep on pace with the leading cars whilst preserving the tyres well for a push just before the pit-stop window. When Au jumped into the car, he found himself in 14th position and right in the mid-pack after the pit window. The Singaporean GT driver settled into a groove, setting several personal best laps. However he was unfortunate to lose control of the car upon coming up on slower traffic, dropping himself down several positions. Au managed to recover quickly, and crossed the line in 18th position after a great effort all weekend. #77 Mercedes-AMG GT4 Jean-Marc Merlin got a great start for the #77 car, avoiding the drama ahead and was on the back of the leading BMW. He pushed hard during the entirety of his stint to keep sight of the leader. Despite immense pressure from behind, Merlin set consistent lap-times and kept the gap close to the car in front. Merlin pitted from 2nd place at exactly halfway through the race and handed the car to teammate Yu. When Yu emerged from the pits, he was still within striking distance of the leading car. He continued to apply pressure on the leader, ready to take an opportunity and his consistent driving meant that he kept the gap right up to the safety car intervention with 10 minutes to go. At the restart of the race however, Yu was hit from behind which resulted in damage to the rear, dropping him down to 4th position. However sheer tenacity meant that Yu managed to keep pushing and made his way back up to 3rd despite the damaged rear diffuser. The #77 crossed the line in P3, giving the team 2 podium results in 2 races from the weekend. Craft-Bamboo Racing continues to show strong pace despite several issues during the weekend, and the team now sits 2nd in the overall GT4 standings, and 4th in the GT3 team's championship. The team are keen to carry this strong form into the following race but have work to do to ensure that the drivers are consistently fighting at the front of the field at the next round in Suzuka, Japan, on 22-24 June 2019. QUOTES Daniel Au | Driver #55 Mercedes-AMG GT3 "Overall it was a good outing, I feel like I managed to improve in lots of areas in my driving; getting more experience with the increasing amounts of seat time with every passing race weekend. It was not easy by any stretch, with variable weather conditions all weekend but that meant that it gave me a chance to learn more about the car. I'm definitely looking forward to the next round in Suzuka with Melvin, and we will do our best again!" Melvin Moh | Driver #55 Mercedes-AMG GT3 "I expected more from the weekend after starting strongly on Friday. However we struggled with overall grip for qualifying and only managed to qualify 11th in Q2. We changed some things for race 1 and it was pretty good pace wise but we encounter a problem towards the end. Race 2 was pretty difficult as we faced the same problems again like qualifying. On another note, Daniel drove great this weekend and we both now look forward to the next race in Suzuka." Jeffrey Lee | Driver #88 Mercedes-AMG GT3 "It was a bit unlucky for us this weekend, with two incidents in two races meaning that we dropped positions and didn't realize our true potential. However Alessio showed that the car has good pace, and we know that there is work to do to ensure that we are consistently at the front." Alessio Picariello | Driver #88 Mercedes-AMG GT3 "From my side I'm really satisfied with the weekend. I love this circuit and I'm always been strong here and I'm happy that I was even stronger with the Mercedes-AMG this weekend. From a pace perspective it was close to perfect; fastest in both practice sessions, pole position by a mile and a great stints during my second race and was in complete control. Thanks to the team for giving me a great car all weekend. Results wise it was a little frustrating; two seperate incidents and bad luck meant that our strong pace was unrealized, but the championship is long and we will work hard to get back to the front." Darryl O'Young | Driver #99 Mercedes-AMG GT3 "It was a tough weekend in Buriram, with some ups and downs and obviously the highlight was the pole position which was a strong lap and put us in the best position for the race. Unfortunately we weren't able to capitalise on this. I feel that altogether as a team, the engineers, me, and Christina are making good progress, but things just didn't come together this weekend and two races where we didn't score points due to small infringements. We'll keep pushing to realize our true pace at the next round in Suzuka." Christina Nielsen | Driver #99 Mercedes-AMG GT3 "Definitely felt that there were lots of improvements but we also ran into some challenges. But overall there is a clear direction with the team on what we need to work on next, and the good thing is that we noticed improvements from the previous round. It's a championship with a strong field and to be running at the top for a podium spot you'll need to have an incident-free weekend. Anyway I really enjoyed this track, and I've only heard good things about Suzuka so I'm looking forward to going there next!" Frank Yu | Driver #77 Mercedes-AMG GT4 "Really happy about the weekend! Going into Thailand we thought that we would be a bit disadvantaged by the BOP but we beat them fair and square in the first race, and I feel like Jean-Marc and I drove well. After the race my engineer confirmed that we had maximised the performance of the car which was great to hear. In the second race it was a bit difficult with the extra pit-time and we finished 3rd. Going to Suzuka next, we're not far away from being the fastest but it's not easy and we will work hard to fight for more wins!" Jean-Marc Merlin | Driver #77 Mercedes-AMG GT4 "It was a great feeling to be back on the top-step of the podium with Frank, finally achieving our win that we were after since the first round. I think we're in a strong position for the championship, and hopefully the BOP will improve for the next round and I'm looking forward to going to Suzuka next!"

Women Artists of the Baroque era | Part 1
By Zana Bihiku Tutt'Art By Zana Bihiku Tutt'Art Art Movements and Styles 16th century Art, 17th century Art, Baroque Era style, Women Artists
As in the Renaissance Period, many women among the Baroque artists came from artist families. Artemisia Gentileschi is an example of this.
She was trained by her father, Orazio Gentileschi, and she worked alongside him on many of his commissions.
Luisa Roldán was trained in her father's (Pedro Roldán) sculpture workshop.
Artemisia Gentileschi | Judith and her maid with the head of Holofernes, 1613 | Gallerie degli Uffizi, Firenze.
Women artists in this period began to change the way women were depicted in art.
Many of the women working as artists in the Baroque era were not able to train from nude models, who were always male, but they were very familiar with the female body. Women such as Elisabetta Sirani created images of women as conscious beings rather than detached muses.
One of the best examples of this novel expression is in Artemisia Gentileschi's Judith beheading Holofernes, in which Judith is depicted as a strong woman determining and avenging her own destiny.
Letizia Treves, curator at London's National Gallery 2020 Gentileschi show has commented: "you can't see it without thinking of Tassi raping Gentileschi".
The elements of the picture are "balanced with such skill they speak of a painter who prioritised virtuosity over passion".
While other artists, including Botticelli and the more traditional woman, Fede Galizia, depicted the same scene with a passive Judith, in her novel treatment, Gentileschi's Judith appears to be an able actor in the task at hand.
Action is the essence of it and another painting by her of Judith leaving the scene.
Still life emerged as an important genre around 1600, particularly in the Netherlands. Women were at the forefront of this painting trend.
This genre was particularly suited to women, as they could access the materials for still life readily.
In the North, these practitioners included Clara Peeters, a painter of banketje or breakfast pieces, and scenes of arranged luxury goods; Maria van Oosterwijk, the internationally renowned flower painter; and Rachel Ruysch, a painter of visually charged flower arrangements.
In other regions, still life was less common, but there were important women artists in the genre including Giovanna Garzoni, who created realistic vegetable arrangements on parchment, and Louise Moillon, whose fruit still life paintings were noted for their brilliant colors. | Source: © Wikipedia
Artemisia Gentileschi
Italian painter, 1593-1652
Artemisia Gentileschi is considered among the most accomplished seventeenth-century artists, initially working in the style of Caravaggio.
She was producing professional work by the age of 15.
In an era when women had few opportunities to pursue artistic training or work as professional artists, Gentileschi was the first woman to become a member of the Accademia di Arte del Disegno in Florence and she had an international clientele.
Many of Gentileschi's paintings feature women from myths, allegories, and the Bible, including victims, suicides, and warriors.
Some of her best known subjects are Susanna and the Elders (particularly the 1610 version in Pommersfelden), Judith Slaying Holofernes (her 1614-1620 version is in the Uffizi gallery), and Judith and Her Maidservant (her version of 1625 is in the Detroit Institute of Arts).
For many years Gentileschi was regarded as a curiosity, but her life and art have been reexamined by scholars in the 20th and 21st centuries.
She is now regarded as one of the most progressive and expressive painters of her generation, with the recognition of her talents exemplified by major exhibitions at internationally esteemed fine art institutions, such as the National Gallery in London.
Louise Moillon
French painter, 1610-1696
Louise Moillon was a still life painter in the Baroque era.
It is recorded that she became known as one of the best still life painters of her time, as her work was purchased by King Charles I of England, as well as French nobility.
Louise Moillon is also known for her Flemish style that is present in her artwork.
Moillon created about 40 artworks during her lifetime which are held in museums and private collections.
Mary Beale
British painter, 1633-1699
Mary Beale was an portrait painter.
She was part of a small band of female professional artists working in London.
Beale became the main financial provider for her family through her professional work - a career she maintained from 1670/71 to the 1690s.
Beale was also a writer, whose prose Discourse on Friendship of 1666 presents scholarly, uniquely female take on the subject.
Her 1663 manuscript Observations, on the materials and techniques employed "in her painting of Apricots", though not printed, is the earliest known instructional text in British written by a female painter.
Praised first as a "virtuous" practitioner in "Oyl Colours" by Sir William Sanderson in his 1658 book Graphice: Or The use of the Pen and Pensil; In the Excellent Art of PAINTING, Beale's work was later commended by court painter Sir Peter Lely and, soon after her death, by the author of "An Essay towards an English-School", his account of the most noteworthy artists of her generation.
Maria Theresa van Thielen
Flemish painter, 1640-1706
Maria van Thielen was born into an artistic patrician family.
According to Cornelis de Bie in his Het Gulden Cabinet her two sisters were painters; Houbraken says she competed with her sisters Anna Maria and Francoise Katharina and was very successful.
The sister Anna may well have been her aunt Anna, however, who married the painter Theodoor Rombouts.
The three women learned flower painting from their father, Jan Philip van Thielen.
Maria's work is in the same style as her father, and probably much of her work has been attributed to him.
She signed her works M.T.Van Thielen.F.
She painted two flower pieces in her father's style for the city hall of Mechelen, one of which is signed and dated 1664.
She became a master in the Antwerp guild of St. Luke in 1665.
Katharina Pepijn
Flemish painter, 1619-1688)
Katharina Pepijn or Catharina Pepijn was known for her history paintings and portraits.
Her portraits are in the style of Rubens and van Dyck.
Catharina Peeters
Flemish painter 1615–1676
Catharina Peeters was the sister of Bonaventuur Peeters, Jan Peeters I, and Gillis Peeters.
They were all Flemish Baroque painters noted for painting seascapes.
Few details of her life are known.
According to the RKD, she was taught to paint by her brothers.
She is mentioned in Cornelis de Bie's book on painters in his chapter on noteworthy female painters.
She is mentioned in Van der Aa as a fruit painter who was possibly the same person as Clara Peeters.
Whether the two women were related is unknown.
Johanna Vergouwen
Flemish painter, 1630-1714.
Johanna Vergouwen (also: Jeanne Vergouwen or Joanna Vergouwen) was a Baroque painter and copyist.
She was brought up in a family of painters.
She was the daughter of the Flemish painter-decorator Louis Vergouwen (died 1659) and his wife Maaike Verwerff, who was the daughter of the painter Hans Verwerff.
Her sister Maria (died 1664) married the painter Michael Angelo Immenraet in 1661.
Immenraet and Joanna Vergouwen engaged in extensive litigation regarding her sister's inheritance.
She studied with Balthazar van den Bossche and Lucas van Uden.
She was active as a painter, copyist and art dealer.
The 17th century Flemish biographer Cornelis de Bie refers to her in his Het Gulden Cabinet in the chapter on noteworthy female painters. He describes her as a copyist of Anthony van Dyck and Rubens.

May I just say what a comfort to uncover someone that actually knows what they're discussing on the net.
This іs a really good tip particularly to those new to the blogosphere.
Sһort but very precise info… Many thanks for sharing this one.


I think the EDC directors had good intentions in hiring Anne and felt they had done their research. Unfortunately, there were several things that attributed to the misunderstandings of the negotiations that Anne could have helped direct them by advising them on negotiation techniques . The EDC directors did only hired her as a translator and I do think she did that job appropriately. It seems she could have made herself more valuable by sharing some cultural differences before they were in the meetings. Especially since EDC directors had briefed her and she knew exactly what the meeting was about and how much time, effort and investment had gone into the negotiations thus far. For example, recommending to them to bring a small a gift or advising them to be ready for aversion tactics.
There are eight clear elements in the Chinese culture for negotiation as stated in the article "The Chinese Negotiation". Anne was hired to translate, she also should have shared the negotiation style of the Chinese, especially the Zhongjian Ren aspect. Zhongjian Ren is overcoming distrust of foreigners, it was Anne's job to help find out details of the negotiation process and help create the best situation for the optimal outcome. One thing would be finding out specific links to immediately help the EDC directors begin to build a relationship with the officials. Moods and body language are also a very important part of Chinese negation, I can't help but wonder if her being a woman, had a detrimental effect on negotiations, or lack thereof.
Anne could have guided them on the specific techniques of negotiation in China. For example, they should have started with an informal meeting at a high end restaurant, building relationship and Zhongjian Ren, with gift giving. Pre scheduling another meeting at a more formal place two days later for signatures. There are not the same timelines in China as in the United States, there is no hurry or reason for expedition. If personal connections, Guanxi, is established there is a reciprocity that happens. All of this failed.
The EDC directors weren't sincere in their relationship building. From their point of view there didn't need to have a relationship, just a signature. The EDC directors also should have done more research into finding out if they needed two signatures or just one, who actually had the authority to sign. The EDC directors could have sent one director out to meet the city officials, planning another meeting to meet the other two directors at another informal lunch meeting at a later date to really work on relationship building. If there was an established relationship with the city officials the counter offer of Malaysia may not have ever happened. The EDC directors had been building relationships with Zhang Gan and Wen Diao, not the city officials.
Another very important element in Chinese culture for negotiation is Shehul Dengji, this has to do with the social status of individuals. In the case study, it clearly indicated when Anne was turned away from the building, in the rain, her social status was not accepted. Confucianism has shaped the Chinese culture for 2500 years. The Confucian hierarchical values of obedience and loyalty, casual and informal relationships are not viewed as appropriate. This could have contributed to the counter negotiation of the inappropriate bribery ask for a trip to the Maldives.
Although traditional Chinese negotiations use the 8 elements, the blatant bribery could indicate corrupt government officials. Most Chinese care more about a long term relationship than a quick bribery. These officials were not following the aspects of Confucianism that involve, trust, interpersonal relationships, moral cultivation, avoidance of conflict and need for harmony. They were deliberately trying to manipulate the EDC directors. They could have simply been teasing them, using this as a delay tactic, but highly not likely.
There are so many aspects that could have been done to prepare for the meeting. Possibly researching the difference between men and women in the work space regarding culture in China. Researching cultural difference is at utmost importance as we have discussed in class. Another option could be flying the officials to the US instead of flying to China for negotiation. Therefore removing many of the cultural complications that muddled the negotiation.
Preparation for a plausible negative negotiation. For example, knowing that the Chinese use stalling behaviors. The officials were very late to the initial meeting, then decided to move the meeting to an informal lunch setting. Drinking and smoking at lunch instead of keeping the atmosphere professional and business like. They threatened EDC directors, stating they would not sign if they did not comply to meet them in two days, then extending the meeting another 5 days out. Using these tactics, the longer the EDC directors stay, they more money they are investing in the project. They feel the pressure for the deal to happen because of time and money already invested. The EDC directors should have been prepared for counter offers.

Elizabeth Thompson, Elizabeth Butler lub Lady Butler (ur. 3 listopada 1846 w Lozannie, zm. 2 października 1933 w Bansha w hrabstwie Tipperary) – brytyjska malarka historyczna.

Jako pierwsza kobieta odniosła znaczny sukces w malarstwie historycznym, specjalizując się w scenach batalistycznych. Jej mężem był oficer brytyjski, późniejszy generał sir William Butler.

Urodziła się w Lozannie w Szwajcarii z mieszanego małżeństwa angielsko-szwajcarskiego. Otrzymała staranne wykształcenie, studiowała we Włoszech – w akademii florenckiej i w londyńskiej Female School of Art. Początkowo zajmowała się tematyką religijną, malowała pejzaże i portrety. Po zapoznaniu się we Francji z malarstwem inspirowanym wojną francusko-pruską, zainteresowała się tematyką militarną. W 1874 roku obraz zatytułowany Apel (The Roll Call), wystawiony w Akademii Królewskiej, zdobył uznanie krytyków i popularność wśród publiczności. Ostatecznie zakupiła go królowa Wiktoria. Przez kilka następnych lat lady Butler cieszyła się sławą najpopularniejszej brytyjskiej malarki. Miała studio w Portsmouth, gdzie pozowali jej żołnierze w oryginalnym umundurowaniu i z autentycznym uzbrojeniem.

Późniejsze jej prace, zwłaszcza po 1881, nie wzbudzały już takiego zainteresowania, z uwagi na realistyczne przedstawianie cierpień powodowanych przez wojny, co wzbudzało niechęć krytyków. Ostatnie lata spędziła w Irlandii. Malowała do końca życia, nie odzyskując jednak początkowej popularności.

Good traditional country pubs along the way – The Plough, Upper Dicker; Yew Tree Inn, Arlington; The Old Oak Inn, Arlington.
A varied walk with fine views towards the Downs. There are excellent bluebell woods along the way at Abbots Wood and the less well known Bramble Grove, and you also have the chance to visit (and pay to enter) the Arlington Bluebell Walk. Arlington Reservoir at the start and end, is a large nature reserve where you can view waterfowl and other wildlife. Most of the walk is through what was the vast dominion by Michelham Priory, which dates back to 1229 and is surrounded by England's longest water-filled moat.
Shorter waymarked walks in Abbots wood – Abbots Amble and Oak Walk (Forestry Commission).

The company, which designed, built is running the plant, explained that it will process food waste collected from supermarkets, food processors, households and the hospitality industry to generate enough energy from waste for up to 4500 homes in Hertfordshire.
The plant currently takes food waste from retailers including Ocado and ASDA, as well as local businesses Simmons Bakeries, KP Waste and The Grove Hotel.
In addition to renewable energy, Biogen said that the plant also produces a nutrient-rich agricultural fertiliser for use on nearby farmland.
"The Bygrave plant was developed to serve Hertfordshire and the surrounding regions and although it's only been up and running a short while, it is already making a positive contribution to local businesses using it," commented Simon Musther, head of commercial operations for Biogen.
"Using this method is going to help us cut costs which is essential for a family business like ours," he added.
The UK's Green Investment Bank is to invest £50 million into a new £100 million fund targeting smaller-scale recycling and advanced waste to energy projects across the UK.
In the North West of England, St Helens Council has moved swiftly to reassure residents that food waste collected by recycling teams does NOT go into landfill sites.

Rolling Steel: A Pre-Apocalyptic Love Story
by Jay Lake and Shannon Page, read by Shaun Farrel and Mur Lafferty
This month's audio fiction is Rolling Steel: A Pre-Apocalyptic Love Story written by Jay Lake and Shannon Page and read by Shaun Farrell and Mur Lafferty.
https://traffic.libsyn.com/clarkesworld/clarkesworld_04_09_lake.mp3
Jay Lake
The late Jay Lake was a highly talented and highly prolific writer who during his tragically short career seems to have managed to sell to nearly every market in the business, appearing with short work in Asimov's, Interzone, Tor.com, Clarkesworld, Strange Horizons, Aeon, Postscripts, Electric Velocipede, and many other markets, producing enough short fiction to fill five different collections: Greetings from Lake Wu, Green Grow the Rushes-Oh, American Sorrows, Dogs in the Moonlight, The Sky That Wraps, and, most recently, the posthumously released Last Plane from Heaven. Lake was also an acclaimed and prolific novelist, whose novels were Rocket Science, Trial of Flowers, Mainspring, Escapement, Green, Endurance, The Madness of Flowers, Pinon, and Kalimpura, as well as four chapbook novellas, Death of a Starship, The Baby Killers, The Specific Gravity of Grief, and Love in the Time of Metal and Flesh. He was the co-editor, with Deborah Layne, of the six-volume Polyphony anthology series, and also edited the anthologies All-Star Zeppelin Adventure Stories, with David Moles, Other Earths, with Nick Gevers, and Spicy Slipstream Stories, with Nick Mamatas. He won the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer in 2004. Lake died in 2014.

Shannon Page
Shannon Page was born on Halloween night and spent her formative years on a commune in northern California's backwoods. A childhood without television gave her a great love of books and the worlds she found in them. She wrote her first book, an adventure story starring her cat, at the age of seven. Sadly, that work is currently out of print, but see the Fiction page of her website for current and upcoming publications. Shannon is a longtime practitioner of Ashtanga yoga, has no tattoos, and lives in San Francisco with nineteen orchids.

text: Rationale Obesity, blood pressure and arterial stiffness are heritable traits interconnected to each other but their possible common genetic and environmental etiologies are unknown. Methods We studied 228 monozygotic and 150 dizygotic twin pairs aged 18–82 years from Italy, Hungary and the United States, of which 45 monozygotic and 38 dizygotic pairs were discordant for body mass index (BMI; intrapair difference (Δ) in BMI ≥ 3 kg/m2). Blood pressure components and arterial stiffness were measured by TensioMed Arteriograph. Results Hypertension was more prevalent among obese than non-obese individuals (55% vs. 29%, p < 0.001). Age-, sex- and country-adjusted heritability estimates were high for hemodynamic measures (45%–58%) and BMI (78%). According to bivariate Cholesky decomposition, phenotypic correlations between BMI and blood pressure components (r = −0.15 to 0.24, p < 0.05) were largely explained by additive genetic factors (65%–77%) with the remaining explained by the unique environment. When controlling for genetic factors within all monozygotic pairs, ΔBMI was significantly correlated with Δbrachial systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), Δmean arterial pressure, and Δaortic SBP (r = 0.15–0.17, p < 0.05). For the same measures, heavier co-twins of BMI-discordant monozygotic pairs had significantly higher values than their leaner counterparts (p < 0.05). Conclusion Blood pressure components are moderately correlated with BMI, largely because of shared genetic factors. However, for the association of BMI with brachial SBP and DBP, aortic SBP and mean arterial pressure, acquired, modifiable factors were also found to be important.

The existing 50%+50% bonus KF Miles Program will cease as well.
Finally, AMEX has improved their earn rate, but compared to current standards, there are better cards that earn up to 1.4 miles/$1 for local spending e..g UOB PRVI and DBS Altitude offers 3 miles/$1 for airticket purchase (capped at $5000). Also, the $150 cashback is a mere 1.25% cashback for the $12k spent, so although we welcome the upgrade, additional perks will be needed to make it competitive in this already saturated credit card market.

Prosor Demands UN Chief Condemn Latest Attacks
Israel's UN ambassador points out 'immoral' trend, in which terrorists pose as people who need help and then attack Israelis.
Tags: UN Security Council Ban Ki Moon UN Ron Prosor Terrorism
Elad Benari , Aug 18 , 2015 5:44 AM
Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations Ron Prosor
Israel's ambassador to the UN, Ron Prosor, on Monday night called on UN chief Ban Ki-moon and on the Security Council to condemn the latest series of terrorist attacks against Israelis.
"One can begin to identify a trend of terrorists posing as people who need help, taking advantage of the humanity of their Israeli victims, and try to take their lives. No moral person would accept such a crime," Prosor said, referring to a terrorist stabbing attack that was thwarted Monday near the town of Tapuah in Samaria, in which the terrorist approached Border Patrol fighters saying he didn't feel well and, when asked to approach the officers, drew a knife and tried to stab one of them.
"Once again, the Palestinian leadership responds with silence, while unequivocal condemnation of the violence on its part is necessary," continued Prosor.
"I call on you to condemn the series of attacks immediately and to publicly demand that the Palestinian Authority condemn the attackers and do everything possible to prevent such incidents in the future," he concluded.
Monday's thwarted attack followed two separate stabbings by terrorists on Saturday, in those cases targeting security forces.
The second of those incidents occurred close to the site of Monday's attack, when a terrorist stabbed a border police officer, wounding him in the back. Police quickly opened fire and killed the terrorist.
Earlier Saturday, an Arab terrorist stabbed a soldier near a checkpoint on highway 443 in Samaria. The soldier, who was lightly wounded, managed to draw his gun and wound the terrorist in the shoulder, after which he was taken into custody.
In that case as well, the would-be attacker managed to get close to his victim by asking for a drink.
The chilling tactic is often used by Palestinian terrorists against Israeli civilians as well as security forces.
In June, 25-year-old Israeli hiker Danny Gonen was murdered by an Arab terrorist, who gunned him down at point-blank range after luring him closer by asking for some water.

Over 15 days, you will explore one of the most expansive regions on our planet - Siberia. It accounts for around 77 percent of Russia's land area, yet is incredibly remote. The scenery here is spectacular, with snowcapped mountains, verdant meadows and dazzling rivers that stretch out - unspoilt - to the horizon. Heading towards Russia's ever-developing capital, you will cross over the majestic Sayan mountains and travel through Tuva's wild landscapes, passing through the spectacular Kyug valley and visiting ancient petroglyphs in Khakassia along the way. Enjoy varied accommodation throughout the trip, from well-appointed hotel rooms to exotic nights under a starry blanket in traditional felt yurts. Discover ancient traditions that are still alive today, concealed amidst the heart of this wild region and hidden charms in its vibrant cities.

Found in a remote, northern part of Siberia, this stunning basalt plateau is comprised of vast flat plains, fortress-like mountains tops and winding rivers that cut through the landscape.

There's no better way to wake in the Putorana Plateau than surrounded by nature, and other activities in the region include hiking through the mountains, kayaking and even riding in helicopters.
Yurt Stay

Staying in a yurt can be an unforgettable experience; while there are a couple of hotels in the town centers, certain impressive regions of Siberia are best experienced by heading into the countryside, which boasts large mountains and vast, barren plains that stretch for miles.

At what age are they not considered "babies" anymore?
Discussion in 'Raising Baby Chicks' started by karmical, Aug 21, 2007.
I was just saying the other day to someone who has chickens that I was enjoying how my girls will fly up into my lap for petting and even fall asleep there for a quickie nap sometimes. He said to enjoy it, because that only lasts as long as they're "babies". That they'll eventually figure out that I'm NOT actually their chicken-mamma Which got me to thinking....at what point ARE they no longer considered "babies"? And will they REALLY stop wanting to come into my lap when they're "grown-ups"???!?!!? I HOPE NOT!!!!!!
I just love that they like my lap....We always have a good solid hour in the AM and then another in the PM of lap-time....maybe if I just keep it up they won't "outgrow" it? My girls are 8 weeks old.
Are there opinions/wisdoms out there on the affections of growing chickens?
wow, I hope they stay friendly. I have no idea here. sorry.
i had a rooster that rode on my shoulder.he loved to be petted. i raised him from an egg.he stayed friendly.
Mine never jumped in my lap as babies. I started giving them treats regularly (everyday) and now they love me. I'll sit in the chicken yard and have chickens all over me, even if I don't have treats. I bend over to pick something up and they'll jump on my back, I sit down and they're fighting over who's going to sit in my lap and I walk around and hear little feet and turn around and I have twenty something birds hot on my heels. Mine are 16 weeks and they get friendlier every week.
I think it depends on how much time you spend with them.
I agree with Southern28chick. My older flock still think I'm the greatest thing since scratch! I can't close the gate to their run fast enough. It's like they know my footsteps and come running making a bee line straight for me. My roo even comes and checks me out. Now I have stair-stepped chickens. Kinda like I did with my own kids. The chickens are 27 weeks old, then 23 weeks old and then 11 weeks old. I've got more coming the 5th of September. A lot of it depends on how much "quality & quanity" time you spend with them initially. I see a big difference in my 27 weekers vs. my 11 week old flocks. I was in the hospital and sick for about 6 weeks of the last flocks life. The bond is not as strong for them. They know I bring them food, and that I won't hurt them, but they are still learning to trust me. The older ones will jump up on me totally content to just do whatever.
Continue to do what you are doing and that bond won't be forgotten or mistaken. Chickens are not dumb like most people think they are. Just remember that every chicken has its own personality, so some are naturally going to be aloof while others have very big attachment issues. I've got one of those attachment issues and her name is Rootbeer. Let's just say that I had to order a chicken diaper for her.
Mine are 11 weeks old and I think cuz I bring the treats they all run to the run door when I come walking up, my red roo has been coming up to me the longest, and Big Bertha is still with us for the time being and he waddles his big old bootie over by me looking for treats, it's too funny. I think this weekend I'll grab a chair and sit in the run with them and see if I get any "lap hoppers"
So good to hear that some of you have "older" chickens that are still people-oriented!!
As for the chicken diapers....if there's really such a thing, I will be ordering some and keeping my girls in the house with me! I think I may have some attachment issues myself !!
Funny thing happened to me today. I picked up one of my Barred Rocks and was holding her and petting her. I noticed another Barred Rock standing by me looking all jealous. I heard flap flap flap and closed my eyes when I saw the chubby jealous girl flying right for my face, then I felt weight in my arms. I opened my eyes to find the Barred Rock that was jealous was now in my arms standing on the other girl's back.
Now THAT is one determined girl you have there, Southern28Chick !
wow s-chick, has the other b.r. ever let you hold her before? Maybe there is hope yet for me. I can only hold one of my b.r. and have a buff orp. always near by and another e.e. always come close to me then but no one else gets in my lap. that is so cool.

In Domino you have multiple options how to provide a search function for an application. I have seen many examples where a FT search query is build for a database, where the form type is defined, which fields should be used in the search etcetera. Most of them are a maintenaince nightmare, layout is little flexible and usability is lacking (e.g. perform a search towards a query which will result in zero hits).
What if you make it easier to maintain, more flexible for user specific desires and add facetted search principles? A win situation?
In the following posts I will write how to use the jQuery DataTables plugin to provide a quick search function for your Domino apps. I assume you use XPages.
a Notes view to use as data source.
In order to create some fake documents I have set up an LS agent to do so.
A while ago I wrote about how you could build a Live Search function with Domino Access Services & jQuery Tokeninput. Since then the current version of that has been improved on several items, perhaps I will write about it in another post.
The term did not cause a failure when performing a search in the Notes view in the Notes client, but on the web in Java the FTSearch method on the NotesView object failed. When checking the data in the view and document the value was exactly as in the text above there.
The full text search treats most symbol characters as a white space. The exception is if the search term itself is wrapped in quotes.
So it turns out the comma is translated into a white space and that results in zero corresponding documents in my FTSearch!
Hopefully some is out here aware which characters are on that symbol character list so I can adapt my livesearch function ???
In a previous post I demonstrated how to use Domino Data Service (as part of Domino Access Service) to populate a listview for jQuery Mobile. Probably the real-world application you want to mobilize has multiple layers of data that is common in Notes (multiple forms & views). I followed Christophe Coenraets's example and re-used it for the fakenames application.
At first an overview of the People's view is presented, from here the user can open the Person details page. In Christophe's example you can find a more nested navigation but our fakenames application is not setup like that.
2 XPages; eg people.xsp and person.xsp.
Your modified version of employeelist.js and employeedetails.js in the download from Christophe page.
The CSS files in the download from Christophe page.
The jQuery JS files in the download from Christophe page.
For convenience I have dropped the files from the download via the Package Explorer in the WebContent folder of the fakenames application. In case you want to mobilize your fakenames application a step further e.g. by packaging it via PhoneGap to access device native api's you don't want to store these files here and you don't want to use XPages to render the HTML.
Of course we assume you have Domino Access Service enabled for the Domino server and the fakenames application.
These files do not differ from the index.html and employeedetails.html files in the download from Christophe page. In case you use XPages you should consider to turn of Dojo and Themes.
At the page initiation the function getEmployeeList is called. This makes an Ajax request to the REST API of Domino Data Service and a document collection with the first 1000 entries (if available) in the view named People is being called.
I have not taken a look yet how to implement lazy loading or appending additional document collection(s) when scrolling. If you happen to know how to implement such function please drop me a line here or send me an email.
Then list items in the employee ID element on the Xpage people.xsp are removed (when available) and we loop through the results returned by Domino. We create a new list and establish a hyperlink to people.xsp and add the UNID of the document as parameter.
At last the result is appended to the (emptied) employee ID element and the listview is being refreshed. Wow! You got now a nice list of persons in the directory.
The idea behind the details page is similar to the people's list, except we have now a single object in the JSON.
First the ID provided by the parameter is abstracted from the URL and used in the call to a document source via the Domino Data Service.
From the result a set of details is abstracted and presented to the user. Some HTML5 attributes are used to deliver a more native behavior when clicking anchor links (telephone, mail, SMS).
jQuery Mobile and Domino Access Service provide good foundations for creating mobile Web apps on Domino. However I am a bit thoughtful on the speed of Domino Access Service. If you happen to know how to speed up performance for this please drop a line here.
In a next post I will write the implementation of CRUD actions with jQuery and DDS.
Admin question: Does $$ReturnAuthorizationFailure works with session based authentication?
I tried to implement a custom web authentication error page on application level based on these guidelines: link.
Unfortunately, the custom $$ReturnAuthorizationFailure form never appears when accessing a document I did not have access to. Instead the default error page is being displayed.
One answer says Yes, the other says No. Which one is correct?
I do not know about the existens of the SwedishJob.com site but here you can find the advertisement for a System Developer in Lotus Notes and Domino.
Sounds exciting? Then head on to the Sandvik career site.
I saw this function is now posted on Computer Sweden: link and on the Sandvik careers site.
Today we discussed to provide a checklist for developers that can help them with auditing the security of their applications.

The desertification of the Sahara, which began 10,000 years ago, may have been at least partially caused by humans, says a new report by scientists at Seoul National University.
Most studies suggest the formation of the Sahara Desert, the world's largest hot desert, was brought about by changes in regional vegetation patterns and a shift in Earth's orbit.
The Sahara Desert was once green and wet, and even covered with glaciers.
The massive Desert was once teeming with life, until some 6,000 years ago, when rains ended and the desert became as it is today.
The exact cause of the meteorological shift has been a subject of much study in recent years, as earth scientists believe it could teach us much more about the history of the planet's climate, as well as the evolution of early human civilizations in the region. A 1997 paper suggested that the shift was a natural consequence of the withdrawal of the glaciers, and has been, until now, traditionally considered to be the most credible explanation.
But the scientists in Seoul said human activities may have encouraged the Sahara's formation.
"In East Asia there are long established theories of how Neolithic populations changed the landscape so profoundly that monsoons stopped penetrating so far inland," David Wright, a researcher at Seoul National University, said in a news release.
The spread of scrublands have previously been linked to the desertification of North Africa.
When Wright surveyed archaeological data from the region, he found the movement of early pastoral communities in the Nile Valley tracked closely with the proliferation of scrub vegetation.
Wright and his colleagues suggest the introduction of livestock in North Africa, more than 8,000 years ago, altered the region's vegetation, suppressing the growth of larger bushes and trees.
Less vegetation left the region's surface more exposed and reflective, altering the atmospheric conditions. These changes diminished the impact and reach of Africa's seasonal monsoons, further encouraging the development of scrub vegetation and desert — a feedback loop of desertification.
Wright, whose latest analysis was published in the journal Frontiers in Earth Science, believes lakebed sediments will further illuminate the role humans played in the Sahara's desertification.


Tentoonstellingen: Amsterdam, Galerie Magdalene Sothmann, 'Wagemaker, schilderijen en gouaches', 7 October- 28 October 1968.
Jaap Wagemaker was a Dutch artist, born in Haarlem in 1906. He died in Amsterdam in 1972. At the age of fourteen Wagemaker studied at the School voor Bouwkunde, Versierende Kunsten and Kunstambachten in Haarlem. Although he was a skilful draughtsman, he preferred to paint. Initially, his paintings were rendered in an expressionistic style and inspired by Constant Permeke and Herman Kruyder. About 1930 he moved to Paris where he became fascinated by ethnographic objects which he gathered at flea markets. During the Second World War Wagemaker moved to the Netherlands. After the war, he returned to Paris, where he became inspired by the artists Jean Dubuffet, Fautrier, Wols, Burri and Tapies. From 1960 onwards, Wagemaker started focusing on abstract assemblages. His paintings are characterised by brown and dark colours, reminding of deserts seen from an aeroplane. Wagemaker is profoundly influenced by ethnographic art.
