Ostrava, a smallish Czech city of some 300,000 people about 10 kilometers from the Polish border, hosts the biennial Ostrava Days, a small festival, itself, but with audiences usually numbering a couple hundred. Both city and fest think big. In recent years, Ostrava has seen a remarkable amount of development via commerce and construction, as well as a laudable push to renovate the industrial facilities if its mining past into theaters, galleries and other art spaces. For its part, Ostrava Days is oriented toward big music--the 2015 edition even featuring a night of works for three orchestras--all the while making room for smaller-scale compositions.
While the biannual Ostrava Days in the Czech Republic features, primarily, a wide array of post-1950 solo and small ensemble pieces, it is, at its heart, a symphonic endeavor--founded and curated by Czech composer/conductor Petr Kotik. Over the course of nine expansive nights in August, running this year from the 21st to the 29th, the festival hosted three different orchestras, and all three together on the first night. The Ostrava-based Janáček Philharmonic Orchestra and resident ensemble Ostravská Banda did plenty of heavy lifting over the course of the fest, with the Miners Band from Stonava (a brass group from that nearby town in coal-mining Moravia) joining them on opening night.
The London Sinfonietta will present a two-part series titled "Spectrum of Sound," exploring the advances in sonic manipulation. The first part of the series will feature the world premiere of Mica Levi's -- famed for her work on the film "Under the Skin" starring Scarlett Johannson -- new work "Greezy." Other pieces include works by Iannis Xenakis, Claude Vivier and Georg Friedrich Haas.
Weasel Walter's ugEXPLODE Records hit the scene in 1991, built upon his wiley notion that extreme metal, noise rock and free jazz could exist peacefully on one man's mail-order imprint. Albert Ayler, Captain Beefheart, Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, The Residents, Deicide, Cecil Taylor, Whitehouse, Iannis Xenakis and Black Flag all contributed to the catalog's formation.

Oby Ezekwesili, presidential candidate of the Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN), has taken a huge swipe at President Muhammadu Buhari. The former minister stated that the Presidenaddeesn't have the requisite aptitude and capacity to hold such office.
Speaking at a press conference on Monday, Ezekwesili accused Buhari of destroying the country's wealth and presiding over a recession. She also stated that, though the country was or of recession, the growth of the economy is sluggish.
In her words:
"President Muhammadu Buhari has now shown neither the capacity nor the aptitude for the highest office in the land."
"Let us talk about the present administration; what is the primary legacy of President Muhammadu Buhari? It is the destruction of our nation's wealth — presiding over the worse economic recession Nigeria has seen in decades.
"Even now that the economy has come out of recession, the growth is as sluggish as its government. Four out of every 10 adults are either unemployed or underemployed and Nigeria is now the poverty capital of the world."
Ezekwesili also added that Buhari apart from being the "most nepotistic and most partisan president that Nigeria has ever seen", he is also very "corrupt".
She said:
"This president talks about fighting grand corruption. Please, please, give me a break! Can corruption fight corruption? Does he think we cannot see?"
"I just laugh when I hear some people say our citizen's movement will split opposition votes. But the PDP is not in opposition to the APC. The candidate of the PDP has over the past 14 years gone from PDP to AC, AC to PDP, PDP to APC and now back to PDP"
Ezekwesili in an apparent reference to Buhari and Atiku Abubakar, People's Democratic Party(PDP) Presidential candidate said when she becomes president, "you will never hear any world leader call me lifeless or dishonest."
"I have no issues obtaining visas or travelling to any country in the world – whether it is the United States of America or the United Arab Emirates," she said in a not-so-veiled reference to the PDP presidential candidate.

Buddha's Delight
In keeping with the Buddhist tradition of cleansing the body with only vegetables, Jai must be eaten on New Year's Day. The dish has been eaten in one form or another for hundreds of years. It contains 18 different ingredients, including dried black moss, dried bean curd and ginkgo nuts, but this simplified version is just as good and much easier to prepare.
- 6Servings
- 2 tsp. dark sesame oil
- 1 1/2 tsp. sugar
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. ground white pepper
- 8 large dried shiitake mushrooms
- 2 oz. dried bean thread noodles, broken into 4-inch pieces
- 1 1/2 Tbs. vegetable oil
- 3 scallions (white and light green parts), cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 small clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp. grated fresh ginger
- 1 medium carrot, thinly sliced on diagonal
- 1/2 cup canned sliced water chestnuts
- 1/2 cup canned bamboo shoots, julienned
- 15-oz. can baby corn, drained
- 8 oz. snow peas, strings removed
- 8 oz. Chinese (Napa) cabbage (1/4 small head), cut into 2 x 1-inch pieces
- 8 oz. firm tofu, drained and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 Tbs. soy sauce
- 2/3 cup vegetable broth
Make sauce: In small bowl, mix all sauce ingredients. Set aside.
In medium bowl, soak mushrooms in 1/2 cup cold water until softened, about 30 minutes. In another bowl, soak noodles in hot (not boiling) water to cover 5 minutes.
Drain mushrooms and squeeze dry (reserve soaking water to use in soups). Cut off and discard stems; thinly slice caps and set aside. Drain noodles and set aside.
In wok or large deep skillet, heat vegetable oil over high heat. Add mushrooms, scallions, garlic and ginger and stir-fry 1 minute. Add carrot, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, baby corn, snow peas and cabbage and stir-fry 2 minutes.
Add sauce, cover and cook 5 minutes. Gently stir in noodles and tofu until well coated. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook until most of the sauce is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Serve at once.

Barbie dolls to me are an inherently uncreative toy; even though there are countless accessories, the role play is pretty much prescribed. So why not turn them into a canvas, have them follow my own fashion trend? Photographed with a Holga lens attachment, these diptychs are the visions you might see of your toys at night, when they take on a life of their own.

As retired Navy SEAL Mark Owens's (a.k.a Matt Bissonnette) "No Easy Day" hits shelves today, a new e-book on Special Operations offers fresh insight into why Bissonnette broke his code of silence with his tell-all account of the raid that killed Osama bin Laden.
A group of Special Ops veterans released its own e-book Monday, "No Easy Op: The Unclassified Analysis of the Mission that Killed Osama bin Laden," which suggests Bissonnette "was willing to break the code of silence honored by many commandos because of 'bad blood' with his former unit, the elite SEAL Team 6," writes The New York Times.
According to the NYT, the e-book claims Bissonnette was "effectively pushed out of SEAL Team 6 after he expressed interest last year in leaving the Navy and starting a business."
"How was he repaid for his honesty and 14 years of service?" the Special Ops writers ask in the e-book. "He was ostracized from his unit with no notice and handed a plane ticket back to Virginia from a training operation." After that treatment, Bissonnette "felt less compunction" about writing "No Easy Day."
"No Easy Day" was published as scheduled Tuesday despite a storm of controversy about the firsthand account of the top-secret raid and threat of a government lawsuit. The Pentagon has threatened to sue Bissonnette for breaching his contract by not submitting the manuscript for review early enough in the publication processs.
The publication of "No Easy Op" further complicates the debate over Bissonnette's account. The e-book was produced by sofrep.com, a website about the news, culture, and weaponry of the Special Ops produced by former commandos. Brandon Webb is a founder of the site and a former SEALs sniper, according to the NYT. In the NYT article, Webb says the e-book is based on "conversations that he and his co-authors had with current members of SEAL Team 7, none of whom are identified."
(Incidentally, Webb also wrote his own account of his military experience, "The Red Circle," which was also not submitted for review. But he was not penalized, he says, because the book came out years after missions it describes, and included details already made public.)
"No Easy Op" is largely sympathetic to Bissonnette, according to media reviews. It describes the former Navy SEAL as "an operator's operator" and says it is highly unlikely "No Easy Day" revealed any vital information about SEAL tactics and procedures. Nonetheless, the e-book does scold Bissonnette for not submitting the book for review, suggesting that move would have placated government officials and put to rest concerns about security breaches. And it emphasizes the point that Bissonnette was less likely to abide by protocol after having been slighted by his former unit.
Whatever Bissonnette's motivation may be, the former Navy SEAL's co-author in "No Easy Day," Kevin Maurer, said in a statement that Bissonnette's account has nothing but praise for other SEALs and military personnel. "After spending several very intense months working with Mark Owen on this book, I know that he wrote this book solely to share a story about the incredible men and women defending America all over the world," the statement reads. "Any suggestion otherwise is as ill informed as it is inaccurate. What's more, Mark has an unshakable respect for the U.S. military, in particular the men he served with. That's why not one negative word was written about anyone he served with."
Still, the ongoing controversy over "No Easy Day" has the authors of "No Special Op" predicting Bissonnette's book may be a game changer in the field. As Americans' interest in commando culture swells and more retired Special Ops veterans consider sharing their accounts in books, movies, and more, the Pentagon will likely crack down on tell-all revelations like this – making firsthand accounts like these rarer, suggests the e-book. "No Easy Day" it writes, "will result in blowback that will drive policy change across the entire Special Operations community regarding operators' ability to write books in the future. Hollywood and media access will be virtually impossible for the foreseeable future."

Sir Reginald Futtock, the chair of the Government's Brexit Advisory Committee and author of "Mr Brexit – the Man with the Plan" (out this September) has asked us to allow him to offer some reassurance to the country at this time of National Confusion.
I've been watching the results of the election from my villa in Cancun and feel the time has come to silence some of the more excitable speculation about our plans for Brexit.
Take it from me, this election has been a triumph for Brexit. After all, when you add up all the parties who back leaving the EU, it comes to over 600 MPs. The pro-EU parties have lost seats like a BA computer!
It's hardly surprising. After all, we've been saying how Brexit will liberate our country and bring unparalleled prosperity (for the Few, and perhaps even some of the Many, though that doesn't matter so much). Fortunately the People had a choice between one leader who was lukewarm for Remaining but has converted to Leaving; and another leader who has believed in Leaving since 1973.
And now the People have spoken, they can clear off again while we get back to the serious business of negotiating our way out of the European octopus and into the arms of the Chinese.

If you perform a marketing and business development function for a law firm, you probably preach to lawyers all the time: "Know your client and understand their business."
But how much time do you spend getting to know your own key clients in the law firm – how well do you really know the managing partners and practice group leaders? And how well do you understand their legal practice business? Before you self-diagnose, do what you would advise your lawyers to do. Ask those you serve to tell you where you can improve, and especially ask for the single biggest thing they would like from you.
Based on my own interviews of managing partners and group leaders, I believe that most of them are in agreement about the single biggest thing they lack from their own marketing and business development groups. The general refrain goes something like this: "They need to do better at understanding our business and understanding us."
Sounds ironic, does it not? But I am pretty sure the answer points to where the marketing and business development pros in law firms have their greatest opportunity to improve internal satisfaction scores.
Of course, not every managing partner or group leader wants the exact same things from you, but there are certain themes that are common to all of your internal clients who want you to know them and their legal business a little better. Here are seven themes to consider:
If you can invest a little more time each month in learning more about your firm's legal business and about the individuals you are serving, I have no doubt that you will reap great rewards for doing so.

Multiple champion stallion Savabeel's half-brother Arlington (Red Ransom-Savannah Success, by Success Express) sired his first metropolitan winner in emphatic style last Saturday at Rosehill Gardens in Sydney.
Trained by Michelle Fleming (her first Sydney runner) and ridden by Chris O'Brien, The Lion (Arlington-Lion Belle, by Lion Heart) made it back to back wins following his recent successful outing at Scone when sweeping home for an effortless 2-lengths triumph in the TAB Highway Handicap (1100m).
The manner of his victory was similar to Arlington's flashing third in the Gr1 Randwick Guineas (1600m) as a 3YO.
Arlington has now sired 15 individual winners of 30 races.
The Lion, who is being prepared to contest the Country Championships, now has 2 wins and 3 placings from 10 starts.

Greg is out of commission this week (I'll let him explain) but his first post will be next week!
You may not know this unless you have personally encountered them, but vinyl traders lose their shit over Rodriguez LP's – and not just any Rodriguez LP – specifically the SA pressing of Cold Fact. There is a positively maniacal "perceived" collectability around this "scarce" LP – aside from a conveniently forgotten fact that every single South African over the age of 30 has got at least one of these lying in their attic somewhere or – as I found out – sometimes more than one. Searching for Rodriguez LP's is like mining a rubbish bin for Coke tins; unpleasant, but there's a lot of them in there.
Recently, after I had made the decision to focus on shaping my record collection to be lower in number and higher in quality, I realized that I had somehow lost my copy of Cold Fact over the years and I wanted to buy a replacement as I, like most of us, well and truly love that album.
I started enquiring around among the record shops and I soon started getting ushered in to dark alleyways to view clandestine "super rare" copies of Cold Fact. But the prices were astronomical and the stories around how hard they are to find escalated to that of Kilamanjaro-climbing scale.
However, the truth is that behind the lacquer curtain, they are as common as biltong. I just came back from the Cape Town Vinyl Fare and I must have seen at least 6 of them swapping hands between traders moving clandestinely behind counters, always cover-facing-the-floor in case somebody sees.
Greg apparently discovered one collector who has TWENTY copies of Cold Fact – I shit you not – but refuses to part or sell even one of them! Other traders keep 10 at any given time and float them perpetually on Ebay or Gumtree for R2000 (and above) citing their collectability and value. And heaven help if you have the one pressing that has a spelling error on the label (affectionately known as the Sicto edition)! That one is rarer than albino tiger blood – NOTE: don't bother to stop reading this article to go and check if your own copy at home is a Sicto because, in reality, these are as rare as traffic fines.
But some traders seem to have a secret oath to keep the hype up about this album's collectability to keep driving prices up but still, when they see one, they can't help it: sweat begins to form around their foreheads and the meat cleavers come out.
Here's what I've found – if you happen to be selling a Cold Fact, traders are quick to tell you that the real value of a Cold Fact is approximately R250-R350 and if you try to sell one for more, you are just ripping them off, and boy do they get angry. But whenever one pops up in trading circles and the seller doesn't capitulate to the flying arrows, these same traders are happy to pay 400, 500 or even 600 for one! I call it Cold Fever, because this album does something weird to people.
This all became too stressful for me in my personal hunt. All I wanted was a good quality copy for my collection so I put out a post on Facebook to see if any normal people would be willing to sell me one for my collection and lone behold, I was saved from the ravenous fangs of the Rodriguez vampires!
We've also started an INSTAGRAM account : needlesfromthehaystack – follow if you are interested in some vinyl porn!

Consumers, critics and now a D.C. Circuit judge all refer to the amount of room passengers have as "the incredible shrinking airline seat."
Anyone who has been a passenger in the increasingly unfriendly skies knows that leg room and width of the actual seat seem to continue to contract.
When that was brought to the attention of the legal system by Flyers Rights, the D.C. Circuit Judge Patricia Ann Millet did a little bit to help out the consumer.
Flyers Rights organization contended that the decreased room is a safety hazard.
Just consider the added time it would involve to squeeze out of one's seat in an emergency exit. And, in a crash, with the seats so close together, there could be directly related serious injuries or deaths.
What the Flyers Rights advocacy folks ideally wanted was to mandate that the FAA establish safe minimums for seat size. Well, they didn't get that. Instead, as lawyer-journalist Kathryn Rubino reports in Abovethelaw.com, the court held:
" ... the FAA must review its rule ..."
That is, of course, a step in the right direction. However, with the Trump Administration in power, consumer issues, including safety, could receive decreasing attention. Sure, the FAA is now mandated to review the rule. But, anyone who understands politics has low expectations. Likely it will take airline catastrophes in which deaths and injuries are caused by unsafe seats to rally pressure on the FAA.
Unfortunately, businesspeople need to fly. So do those with family emergencies. Otherwise, a national boycott against the airlines could be organized.
However a partial one is possible. To improve their brandnames, Uber and Amtrak could offer steep discounts on long-distance travel. Gas stations could also provide discounting for those who document they opted not to fly. In that spirit, car dealers can provide special incentives on autos to be used for the kind of travel usually done by plane.

Summit County Fiscal Officer Kristen M. Scalise CPA, CFE has announced that her office conducted a Negotiated Tax Certificate Lien Sale on Wednesday, October 19, 2011. Woods Cove II, LLC was the successful bidder with a bid of over $5.54 million on 1,002 parcels. Parcels that sold consisted of residential, commercial and industrial properties. The Fiscal Office was able to collect $5.54 million in delinquent tax dollars as a result of the sale.
The Fiscal Office had previously collected $1.02 million in September 2011 from a subsequent tax lien sale. Fiscal Officer Scalise will now distribute more than $6.56 million in certified delinquent tax dollars currently owed to the taxing districts.
"The largest benefactors of a lien sale are the school districts and political subdivisions. My office has collected and will disperse approximately $3.84 million delinquent tax dollars to our local school districts and an additional $2.4 million to our political subdivisions" Scalise said.
Tax Certificate Sales insure that taxing districts entitled to revenues from property tax collections will receive those tax dollars needed for their operations. Any property the Fiscal Officer offers for a Tax Lien Certificate Sale must be certified delinquent for at least one year under current law. Properties that are in bankruptcy or foreclosure are not eligible.
The Fiscal Office has been a pioneer in developing programs for the taxpayers of Summit County including a Delinquent Tax Payment Program. Scalise stated, "It is my intent to collect any and all delinquent real estate taxes for the betterment of our community, while at the same time understanding the difficult economic conditions that many of our citizens are presently facing. My office offers various payment program options to assist taxpayers in meeting their tax obligation. I am constantly looking for additional ways to help our property owners".
For additional information regarding tax assistance programs, please call our office at 330-643-2600.

TexSom just closed out its 12th installment in Dallas, and once again, the festival brought together sommeliers from around the world to taste, learn and talk shop. This was our first year attending, and there was plenty of takeaway—here are the highlights.
Bubbles Beyond Champagne
Champagne may still dominate the sparkling wine category, but bubbly producers from all over are increasingly standing out. Tom Stevenson, widely considered the leading voice in the field, walked tasters through a host of sparkling wines from unexpected origins. Highlights included the 2009 Cuvée Brut from Nyetimber in England, which offered a darting acidity that complemented the wine's inherent richness. Also notable were the 2006 Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blanc from Taittinger and the incredibly aromatic Rosé Brut Nebbiolo D'alba from northern Italy.
Alpine Expressionism
Alsace is a perennial go-to for crisp, vibrant wines, but its overshadowed cousin, the Pfalz, stood out during a comparative tasting. Germany's second largest growing region has more varietal diversity than Alsace, with many offerings now landing stateside. So many of the pinot blancs and rieslings from the two areas are classics, but other Pfalz grapes to look out for include Chasselas, with its smoky stone fruit qualities, and Muskateller, a varietal that manages to be very grape-y without sinking into cloying, Welches territory.
Texas Evolution
The grand tasting offered a couple of interesting takeaways. Houston sommelier Rachel DelRocco (one of our people to watch in 2016) won the festival's esteemed Best Sommelier Competition, turning heads and palates as a member of Camerata's small but sophisticated wine team, which touts an ever-morphing list of grower Champagnes, Austrian whites, aged Italian reds and more. Secondly, Texas wine continues its ascent. Quality hasn't always matched quantity, but a few producers—namely McPherson Cellars and Round Mountain Vineyards—are changing the perception of the state's offerings. Look out for more tasty High Plains offerings as the north Texas AVA zeroes in on its craft.
California Restraint
Ever since Oregon started treating the world to its austere reds and whites, many others followed stylistic suit. California producers started toning down their pinot noirs and chardonnays, and there now seems to be a full-blown movement happening with labels like Copain Wines and Jordan Vineyard turning out balanced wines that are light and nuanced, without shedding their California identity.
Certification Surge
When a TexSom attendee asked a group of Master Somms if they thought there was too much saturation in the wine certification realm, the answer was a resounding no. The old, more fraternal system of appointing somms has changed over the last decade, thanks to the growing influence of organizations like the Court of Master Sommeliers, WSET, GuildSomm, not to mention the many schools that now offer formal educations in viticulture, enology, marketing and more. The general consensus was that the elevated sommelier culture and status in this country reflects the growth in the industry itself, and seeing hundreds of twenty and thirty-somethings at TexSom suggests more growth before any kind of leveling off.

text: < Development | Architecture/KDE4 Akonadi Communication, calendaring and keeping information about others are fundamental parts of your daily work and private life. As a provider of an application development framework and of a Free Software desktop runtime environment, KDE addresses this by tightly integrating with the PIM infrastructure provided by Akonadi. KDE's implementation of an Akonadi client library stack makes it easy to develop both applications using Akonadi as their data source as well as Akonadi agents for the actual access to the data's persistant storage. Contents 1 Concepts 1.1 Akonadi Server 1.2 Akonadi Agents 1.3 Akonadi Applications 2 Further reading Concepts Akonadi's design follows the principle of separation of concerns, meaning that each component has a small, well defined role to fullfil in order to achieve a fully functional setup. There are three main categories of components, all of which are implemented as individual processes for increased system stability and implementation independence: Akonadi Server Akonadi Agents Akonadi Applications Akonadi Server The server category consists of two roles: control and cache. Control is implemented by a process called akonadi_control. It is the first to start and controls the life cycle of all components other than end user applications. Cache is implemented by a process called akonadiserver. It is the hub for the data flow, tracks changes and is responsible for system consistency, e.g. ensures unique identifiers, etc. All communication with these two roles is implemented in the KDE client libraries for Akonadi and available to developers at different level of abstraction. Tip Thinking about the server as a proxy-like service helps to avoid misinterpreting its task, e.g. it is caching data on behalf of its clients, not interpreting or permanently storing it. Akonadi Agents The agent category describes processes which perform their task without human interaction. This includes a special role also referred to as Akonadi Resources, agents which transport data between the cache and the data's actual persistant storage locations, e.g. files. The KDE client libraries for Akonadi provide convenience classes to ease development of generic agents as well as the resource subtype. The KDE PIM project provides a set of commonly required implementations as part of their runtime module. Akonadi Applications The application category refers to the usual end user visible application, e.g. address book, calendar or e-mail program. Implementations of this category can sometimes be referred to as Akonadi Clients, since agents can be seen as part of the server-like functionality, both from the point of view of users as well as application developers. The KDE client libraries for Akonadi provide both a low level job based API as well as high level data models, views and standard actions.

South East Asian collagen market is expected to reach USD 142.8 million by 2023, at a CAGR of 7.2% during the forecast period of 2018 to 2023.
Succeeding an extensive secondary and primary research on collagen and an in-depth analysis of the market scenario, the report carries out an impact analysis of the key industry drivers, restraints, and opportunities listed in the market dynamics segment. Growing use of collagen in food industries, inclination towards protein consumption & nutricosmetics, increasing application in the healthcare industry, growing technical applications, and growing use of collagen based biomaterials are the major factors driving the collagen market in the South East Asian region. In addition, growing food processing industry further provides significant opportunities for the various stakeholders in this market. However, factors such as need of compliance with various standards and stringent regulations due to safety concerns, religious constraints, and growing use of alternatives are expected to hinder the growth of this market to some extent.
The study offers a comprehensive analysis of South East Asian collagen market with respect to various product types, sources, and applications. The market is mainly segmented by product type (collagen peptide and gelatin), source (porcine, bovine, marine, chicken, sheep, and other animals), application (food and beverages, cosmetics, nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, and technical), and geography. On the basis of source, the porcine collagen accounted for the major share of the South East Asia collagen market in 2017. However, marine collagen is to be the fastest growing segment during the forecast period. The growth of marine collagen market is mainly due to the religious constraints associated with the consumption of some of the other sourced collagen. Fish collagen has received considerable attention for its potential as an ingredient in processed functional food manufacturing, as well as for cosmetic, biomedical, and pharmaceutical applications. On the other hand, it is also used as a nontoxic alternative collagen.
An in-depth analysis of the geographic scenario of the industry provides detailed qualitative and quantitative insights for the South East Asia along with the coverage of major countries in this region which includes Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, Vietnam, Singapore, and RoSEA. The geographic analysis provides detailed insights on the key trends of the industry in these countries, identifying the demographic & economic impact, and government & private investments. Indonesia held the largest share in South East Asia collagen market in 2017, which is mainly attributed to its booming food and beverages sector due to various factors such as growing population, increased urbanization, growing awareness of healthy products, rising incomes, the shift of consumers towards modern retail stores, and growing tourism industry. In addition, Indonesia's fast-growing economy, growing healthcare and nutraceutical industries, and growing livestock and meat processing sector further drives the growth of collagen market in this region.
The report also includes the competitive landscape based on extensive assessment of the key strategic developments adopted by leading market participants in the industry over the past 3-4 years (2014-2017). The key players operating in the South East Asian collagen market are Rousselot (The Netherlands), GELITA AG (Germany), Weishardt Holding (France), Tessenderlo Group (Belgium), Nitta Gelatin Inc (Japan), Italgelatine S.p.A. (Italy), REINERT GRUPPE Ingredients GmbH (Germany), GELNEX (Brazil), PT. AIMFOOD MANUFACTURING INDONESIA (Indonesia), Holista CollTech Limited (Australia), Collagen Solutions Plc (U.K.), and Advanced BioMatrix Inc. (U.S.).

This site presents The Photographic Heritage Foundation's vision, objectives and plans. Our books and publications connect photography and heritage. The Foundation aims to leave an indelible mark on Asian historical photographic publishing. Scroll down to see our vision statement.
We believe, deeply, that every generation rests on the shoulders of its forerunners. Publishing and disseminating photographs of Asia that show this, and which bridge the generations, are our driving forces. Especially given today's fast changing digital communications, our projects have enduring value. The Photographic Heritage Foundation's operations and publishing programme are focused on important parts of Asia.
The Foundation's projects, which seek to publish landmark books, are developed in partnership with governments, institutions, corporations and philanthropists. The personal legacy aspect of the Foundation's mission is reflected in our donor relationships. We offer proven, rewarding avenues for our partners to contribute through our publications to their societies and local heritage, and to share our memorable photo publishing journey.
John Thomson, a pioneering Asia photographer, wrote in 1891: 'We are now making history, and the 'sun picture' supplies the means of passing down a record of what we have achieved.'
Helmuth Hennig, Chairman
New Book – Published November 2019
The book records the work of the pioneer photographer Marjorie Doggett. From 1952–57 she roamed Singapore capturing for posterity the then colony's cityscapes with images and text.

Our Photo Heritage Vision
'The Photographic Heritage Foundation's initiative ensured the preservation of Lee Fook Chee's unique photographic collection – which otherwise might very easily have been lost forever. Publication of the Foundation's superbly reproduced Lee Fook Chee book opens our eyes to 1950s Hong Kong. I am sure the Foundation's future books, including those on Singapore, will be equally outstanding.' Bernard Charnwut Chan, Patron, The Photographic Heritage Foundation
'The Foundation's books have class and creativity, and an intimacy that resonates. With their independence, authority and superb reproduction, they are the pre-eminent Hong Kong photo histories.' Dr Peter Cunich, Historian, The University of Hong Kong
To date The Photographic Heritage Foundation has only scratched the surface of Asia's record of historical photographs. With greater support, its books, exhibitions, online and outreach offer a unique opportunity to share and perpetuate Asia's photographic heritage. There is a compelling need to preserve and communicate Asia's photo heritage. These historical photographs, rich in diversity and revealing in the mirror they hold up to rapidly changing Asian societies, are a precious and often endangered record. Many of these images languish in archives scattered across the world, while others lie undiscovered in homes and private collections. Few have had the exposure that they and their often unknown creators deserve. Yet such images illuminate, better than anything else, how the past has created Asia's present.
The Foundation was established to respond to this need. It seeks out little-known or unknown photographic collections, and shares them through books, exhibitions and online. It also engages with communities through talks and outreach. The Foundation believes passionately that Asia's historical photos deserve perpetuating and communicating. At the heart of The Photographic Heritage Foundation is an active book publishing programme. Digital archives and publication play an important role. However, we believe that books, beautifully designed and produced, with narratives informed by rigorous research, have the greatest impact and the most lasting cultural value. The Foundation's publications, such as Hedda Morrison's Hong Kong (re-published as Hong Kong As It Was) and Lee Fook Chee's Hong Kong, published with generous funding support from The Hong Kong Jockey Club and Dr Charles Yeung, respectively, have been recognized as landmarks of photographic publishing – and as valuable contributions to local and regional social history. Equally important are the efforts the Foundation makes to rescue and preserve the photographic collections that it uncovers. Secure conservation of fragile negatives and prints in public museums, libraries or archives ensures they are preserved for posterity and also available for further research. Digital, high resolution scans on public websites make them available to audiences across Asia and worldwide. The Foundation's efforts, for example, led to Lee Fook Chee's photos being brought to institutional attention. In Singapore, the Foundation has been the pathfinder for Marjorie Doggett's invaluable 1950s photographs and documents being donated to the National Archives of Singapore.

The legs! It's about the legs! Once Cyclone locks on, you're gonna have a difficult time getting out! Pair that with the stamina this man has and you have the setting for a challenging, entertaining, sweaty wrestle! Nice, genuine guy to boot and 100% recommended.
vj777 is recommended by cyclone74
Wow what a feisty awesome strong guy, he made me fight to get every submission. Don't underestimate this guy, he will take you by surprise and wipe the mat with you. But off the mats he is one genuinely nice guy that I am glad I meet after a very long day at work, plus the tag he arranged was a real surprise. Well worth the meet, crazy if you don't
cyclone74 is recommended by ausjock28
So I've been well introduced to more sub matches tonight and cyclones legs are rock hard. If you make that mistake of getting in between them rest assured you'll have a hard time breaking out. Enjoyed gutpunching cyclone who was a newbie in this area yet took punches like a champ. Very respectful and a gentleman off the mats and I recommend him for anyone seeking a good competitive sub match
ausjock28 is recommended by cyclone74
Faith restored back in the wrestle world after meeting not one, but 2 awesome guys this even. Aus was a late surprise and worth every bit of it. With some more submissions this guy will be a force to be reckoned with. The tag match was just as much fun as the gut punch, thanks for something new tonight. Hopefully a regular bud!!!
cyclone74 is recommended by SydneyGrappler
Wow. It's pretty rare that a guy's pics don't do him justice on here. Cyclone74 is a pretty understated guy, but I wasn't expecting the wall of muscle that turned up to wrestle. I quickly dubbed him Rhino - it was like trying to submit one. Huge arms, incredibly muscular legs, barrel chest. He was pretty coy about his workout regime but then casually lobbed in a huge number he'd recently been deadlifting. I wasn't surprised.
Cyclone74 has some jiu-jitsu training and it was very evident; his positional awareness is really good, and he has some great tricks up his sleeve. His immense strength, combined with some good technicals makes him a huge handful.
As a BJJ guy, I'm not hugely familiar with scissors, so a lesson inevitably turned into a contest - great fun.
Absolutely super guy and a tough competitor - thoroughly recommended.
SydneyGrappler is recommended by cyclone74
Wow all I can say, this guy is worth meeting. It's not every day you can plan and meet to wrestle in the same day, then to find a awesome guy that can grapple . He just needs to learn to tap, something he will learn in the future. Lol
But in all seriousness, he is very thoughtful and polite guy behind that tough wrestler. Thank you for the water and fresh cloths to wear home.
If he wants to wrestle you, don't pass up the opportunity.
cyclone74 is recommended by Galfort
This guy is very strong, I've lost count how many I tapped out. Once you trapped with the leg scissors, there is no escape. He taught me so many locks that I will be use in the future with my future opponent. Very good wrestler and teacher. Very nice person off the mats. Overall recommended 👍🏻👍🏻
Galfort is recommended by cyclone74
Wow this guy will be a force not to be taken lightly, once he learns more holds. Very quick learner and used the hold on me serval times to get the submission. Great legs on him, so beware. I showed him how to get a headscissors submission, and that he did easy. Very nice guy off the mats
Wow this guy has increased his skills by 100% since our last wrestle, watch out for him in the coming future. He is very polite and easy to arrange a match. He can take a good squeeze also
cyclone74 is recommended by tribod
Great session and great guy - uses his massive legs to keep you down! Brutal chokes just like I like them - highly recommended to anyone in or visiting Sydneytown!
Second time around as good as the first - totally crushed by those quads!
tribod is recommended by cyclone74
This guy is great to wrestle with an amazing body. If you don't get a chance to get on the mats with him it's your loss. Plus a nice guy off the mats also
This hunk of a guy still amazes me how cute and fun he is to wrestle. I did get the opportunity to feel his scissor tonight, wow he can crank a body scissor with the best . I wish we could wrestle more often. Plus we had a flex off, I think we both won there 😍
cyclone74 is recommended by ResuRuff
Strong solid wrestler; watch out with his scissor moves. Mean and rough on mat, but humble and friendly guy outside the match. Looking for rematch, mate.
ResuRuff is recommended by cyclone74
This guy was fun, the love of wrestling in this guy is awesome. He is a must to meet and wrestle
24/7/18 yet another fun Wrestle with this tough Wrestler. He can sure take a good squeezing, that my legs gave him. He is fun to roll with and always have a good time
Once again to get this stud on the mattress. He is fun to wrestle and takes plenty of squeezing, trust me he got a workover in the scissors. Always a pleasure
cyclone74 is recommended by beypan
He looks innocent , but will become a killer machine when go on to the mat, especially the legs can always trap you in and use the other skills to make you tap. Nice friendly Guy to share and practise grappling and escaping skills with ! hope can practice more next time!
beypan is recommended by cyclone74
Wow and wow, this guy was amazing. He puts up a good fight and is strong as an bull, with more grappling skills he will be unstoppable. It was a pleasure to have taken him to the mats. Beware the
Legs, he can squeeze with them. One my longest and most enjoyable matches yet. Don't pass up the opportunity to take this guy in a Wrestle
This guy still is an amazing wrestling opponent, once he masters the mats you better look out. He locked on with his legs and there was no way of getting him off. Hopefully we can practice more to get him into a killer wrestler
PatrickSYD1998 is recommended by cyclone74
This guy is strong and fun to wrestle with, he will bf a powerhouse when his technique improves. I showed him what the scissors cam do, beware when he masters them
cyclone74 is recommended by joe 133
Had a very quick match an an inconvenient time (thanks to me!). Was nice enough to allow me to host on short notice. Great guy, arrived on time. Legs like rock, incredible strength. Have to experience to believe. Thanks again!
joe 133 is recommended by cyclone74
Wow what more can I say, this guy is awesome. He is stubborn to tap and takes the holds very well. With more experience he will be killing it on the mat. Don't pass up a chance to wrestle him. Plus a great guy off the mat, very polite and just an all round great guy. Hope we can get more time next time
cyclone74 is recommended by DenverWrestler
Finally had the chance for a rematch with the Cyclone after a gap of a few years. I have written many recommendations about guys I have wrestled with great legs – muscular, powerful, and massive, but Cyclone can give any of them a run for their money. When his legs are around your body, it's like two massive slabs of granite slowly coming together. And if he gets his legs around your head, I'm sure he could break your jaw, and if they are around your neck he can easily put you out. And he's very good at getting his opponent in a position to use his legs effectively. A genuine nice guy with good skill too! Very glad we were finally able to meet once again.
DenverWrestler is recommended by cyclone74
A very nice guy with some good skills. One the must to meet from around the world if you get the chance, he is one of the genuine guys. Also a good tag match with daily planet.
dailyplanet is recommended by cyclone74
This guy is a must meet for a wrestling match. Very polite and good guy off the mats. His legs flex very nicely to enjoy worshipping after the match
Once again it was a pleasure to go down on the mats. The only down side is Sydney will give up a good Wrestler to interstate after the new year. We might have to get in as many matches before then!!
cyclone74 is recommended by Scissor Guy
Had an excellent time with the cyclone. I stood no chance against his powerful thighs, but l had fun trying nonetheless!
Also had fun chatting after the match, a top bloke indeed!
Scissor Guy is recommended by cyclone74
This guy was a great host. He played the role well and had a lot of fun with him. Them calves thou, omg
cyclone74 is recommended by Tripolar
I thought I knew how to use my legs but I was wrong. His jujitsu training is obvious and was able to control me without really breaking a sweat.
Off the mat, we shared some food and a chat too which was too. An easy match to set up and a fun night all round.
Tripolar is recommended by cyclone74
Wow what a match. Tripolar is very strong and can put up a good fight, with more practise he will be killing guys with his legs. Not to be underestimated, he should had more fuel in his tank having only 2 apples and wrestling twice. Afterward we had a nice meal and HAD to line up for dessert 😨. Highly recommended on and off the mats. Re match!!
cyclone74 is recommended by wolfpack
Nice guy and host, need to watch out for his legs
wolfpack is recommended by cyclone74
A very nice guy and very strong, wow. Be prepared to have a fight on your hands. Plus his legs can squeeze, not to be understated. A must to wrestle
Wow this guy still lives up to his reputation, very strong and knows how to stay out the holds. Thank you for the tag match
Had an awesome scissors match with this guy, hope to make it a regular thing. His scissors have improved just from today. God help the next victim of his scissors
GuerreiroMascarado is recommended by cyclone74
Wow what a great guy, anyone that missed out the chance to wrestle him lost out. He is a great guy on and off the mats, nice and strong and can lock a hold on when he wants to. He even got me to learn my way around Sydney airport. To add he is very handsome
Thank you again
cyclone74 is recommended by mmggg
Had a short but intense match with cyclone74. Strong guy, especially the legs. He loves his scissors and does it very effectively and able to maneuver opponents to get them into his scissors as well. Very strong scissors and made me tap quit a few times. Was very nice. Came from far for this match and was cool with a short one as well. Will definitely meet him in the future and recommend to others. He has some judo experience and uses that as well.
cyclone74 is recommended by ausmusc
Known this guys for ages. Great guy to wrestle with and know. Watch out for those killer legs!!
cyclone74 is recommended by Squashlad
25/02/2017: After chatting for ages it was great to finally get to Sydney and meet and hit the mats with the wrestling machine that is cyclone74. He went out of his way to arrange a really good meet for me so that I could wrestle as many Sydney guys as possible in the short time that I was in town, which I hugely appreciated. It was a scissorfest of a meet and scissoring is obviously what Sydney wrestlers excel at as I've tapped out in guys' scissors more often in the last four days than I have in the last four years. And cyclone74 is the undisputed scissor master! (Which, when you see his massive muscular legs, isn't that much of a surprise.) But don't think of him as a one-trick pony, I actually tapped to him more often in his headlocks and neck cranks than I did in his scissors—he's an extremely strong tank of a guy and once he's got you locked up tapping out is really only a matter of time. (The time being, for one particularly one-sided sub, about six seconds!) His BJJ training really shows. Between subs and off the mats he's a very friendly and personable guy and easy to talk to. Cyclone74 is very highly recommended, is a safe and sane if rather painful wrestle and is a must for a rematch, when I will almost certainly not get my revenge!
cyclone74 is recommended by wannabetank
definitely outclassed by this guy. has one of the strongest scissors. friendly and great host.
wannabetank is recommended by cyclone74
This guy is strong and will be a formidable opponent when he gets some more experience. His legs are strong but needs to learn how to squeeze. Was fun keeping him locked in my scissors as he tried to escape, loved it. This guy is a must to meet in Sydney and a very nice guy
Wow don't underestimate him, very strong and getting better from the last match. He will be a killer wrestler with more matches ( and them
Legs are killers already)
Thank you for the tag match
cyclone74 is recommended by SileX
Beware cyclone's scissor hold. You get trapped in them at your own peril! :)
SileX is recommended by cyclone74
What can I say about this guy!! Wow, he is a great wrestler with an even greater personality. Very strong on the mats and just hope his knee gets better fast. You be mad to knock back a wrestle with him. Was a true honour to have meet him and an even grater honour to have rolled with him. Have a safe trip home
Jobberpunisher is recommended by cyclone74
Wow, this guy is awesome. He is strong for his size and them scissors, don't let him lock them on to you or it tap. Highest recommendation to this young wrestler and his legs
cyclone74 is recommended by dazzlo
This man has the strongest legs in the world! Once he wraps them around you, you may as well ring the bell. He is quick, skilful - oh, and has a LOT of power. You won't regret it!
cyclone74 is recommended by zz9zza
Strong, tough, competitive wrestler; reliable and easy to get on with. Well worth meeting.
zz9zza is recommended by cyclone74
Wow this guy is massive,but gentle at the same time. He is must to meet for those who have the genuine love of wrestling.Just wish we had more time to wrestle, time just got the better of us. His legs are strong, don't get caught or maybe it was the best time being caught :)
cyclone74 is recommended by leanaussiemuscle
Great fella, a gentleman and an awesome wrestler with a great body.
leanaussiemuscle is recommended by cyclone74
This guy is a great meet, you will not be sorry. But do not let him get hold of you, he will not let go in a hurry with his legs. Them legs are getting stronger so do not be fouled. A must to meet

Talk about a good time. Woa. Pemby Fest did it again. I had a few friends stay with me, party with me, dance with me and rock out with me. It was amazing. It was also a little too hot for me but we had water and shade and drinks. I think the key is staying at home, with air-conditioning. Showering was key.
I was super lucky and got to see such acts as: Dakota Pearl, Billy Talent, War on Drugs, Bassnectar, Matt and Kim ( SO GOOD), Weezer, Beats Antique, Cut Copy, Janes Addiction, Alice Cooper, Ludacris, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Edward Sharpe, Run the Jewels, Portugal, The Man, The Black Keys, STS9 and MISSY ELLIOT.
We were in and out of VIP, which meant, cheap and free drinks and food. I owe everyone who contributed to the fun a big THANK YOU!
I cannot wait until next year!

Well, we got to Venice. Nice city, horrbily overpriced. Full of tourists. It was okay, but I think I can have just as good experience in the middle of no-where as somewhere.
Most surprising thing, St Marc Square is flooded during the morning because of changing tides, sinking, and George W. Bush. Also, Venice isn't so tourist friendly, or really, Italy isn't. There was one person at the tiny information counter at the station, and she didn't seem at all happy to talk to us. Or anyone.
We didn't have a hotel booked. The person at the hotel booking desk suggested one place for 70 euro. So, we walked out of the station, turned left, and then left again and found a bunch of small hotels my brother suggested. We took the last one which had a room with no bathroom (well, shared) for 60 euro. For two nights.
We walked a lot. And ate cheap food. A lot.

Antique Wooden Boat Show – 1982
The Antique Wooden Boat Show in Clayton New York started in 1964 and is still going 49 years later. It is held at the Antique Boat Museum in the 1000 Islands area near Clayton New York.
The area seems to be known for it's wooden boats, with several famous manufacturers based there. These gorgeous wooden masterpieces are something the owners continue to be proud of and no doubt take every opportunity to show off. I wish I was able to identify the boats in these pictures better. If you have any idea the names of the boats, or any information I'd love to hear about it in the comments below.
This last boat, I was able to identify. It is the "Narrah Mattah," a 50 foot long Elco Launch built in 1902. It belongs to the Antique Boat Museum (formerly Shipyard Museum,) in Clayton New York. Narrah Mattah is said to be Iroquois for "calm still waters."
It's apparently a famous enough boat that it's been mentioned in local newspapers quite a few times. The Ostego Farmer in Cooperstown New York, from August 10, 1956 mentions that it led 40 boats in the Otsego Lake Boat Association Parade. In August 1980, it was mentioned again in the Courier & Freeman of Potsdam, N.Y in a news article about the 16th Annual Antique Boat Show. Lastly, it was mentioned in the February 8th 2001 in the Ocean City Sentinel. According to the article the Narrah Mattah is giving short sightseeing cruises around the lake.

State basketball and state indoor track are not the only culminating events local athletes are looking forward to this week. Lovell dancers and Lovell and Rocky Mountain cheerleaders will travel to Casper next week for the State Spirit Competition to be held Wednesday, March 6, at the Casper Events Center.
Lovell Dance Coach Sara Green will lead her LHS dance team to Casper for a performance scheduled for 7 p.m. March 6. Her six-person competition team includes senior Cheyenne Brightly, juniors Jordan Harper, Chelby Lewis and Ashley Steenbakkers, sophomore Whitney Grant and freshman Heather Bartling. The manager is freshman Emilee Bryson.
Green said the squad will perform a "technical, contemporary dance" choreographed by Lauralyn Kofford of Utah with an Arabian Nights theme. The girls will don red gypsy costumes, Green said, noting that the dance is "really intense."
As in recent years, Lovell will compete in Class 3A, making the road to a placing challenging.
All-State dance
Two Lovell juniors were selected to the All-State Dance Team following tryouts Saturday at Casper Natrona High School. Ashley Steenbakkers and Chelby Lewis were chosen for the select squad, and Jordan Harper was also chosen to try out, Green said.
Asked to describe the two all-state dancers, Green said, "Ashley does a lot of technique. She really likes technical dancing. She's a great listener and a great learner.
"Chelby is a great performer. She likes upbeat music and gets into the music. She also listens to corrections and learns, and she's not afraid to try new things."
Cheer team
The Lovell High School cheerleading team will compete in two areas for the first time on March 6, Class 3A non-stunt cheer and all-class co-ed cheer. The non-stunt cheer time slot for Lovell is 5:28 p.m., with the co-ed team to perform at 8:48 p.m.
Fifth-year coach Minda Ohman said senior Jacob Mayes, junior Isaac Schroeder and freshman Nyckalas Harvey joined the squad this season, though Harvey is out with a broken ankle suffered about a month ago. The boys allow the team to do more things, Ohman said.
"It's been great. The boys have been a really, really good addition," Ohman said. "We've been able to go further in stunting. We've always wanted to do some things, and the boys allow us to do new things.
"With their strength – and they're easy-going guys – it's been a lot of fun."
Once Harvey went down, however, the team had to adjust.
"We had been practicing for quite some time, and we had to go back to the drawing board and change things," Ohman said.
Girls on the varsity competition squad – who will perform without Mayes and Schroeder in the 3A non-stunt category – include seniors Shenéa Allred, Italian exchange student Giorgia Pastocchi and Tessa Watson, juniors Stephanie Allred, Sahara Jasso, Chelby Lewis, Ashlee McIntosh, Camille Ohman, Lauren Stewart and Victoria Zupko.
"We've had a lot of support," Ohman said, noting, for instance, the work of Cathy Thompson, who has worked with the team weekly to teach the gymnastics portion of the routines.
The stunt routine includes a crowd-involvement cheer, a pyramid and stunting, gymnastics and a dance section in the required 2:30 time period.
The squad has been working Saturday mornings since October, Ohman said, to prepare for both competitions.
"They've put in a lot of extra time to do this," she said.
Rocky Mountain High School is also taking a cheerleading squad to Casper and will perform at 4:32 p.m. on March 6. Coach Sally Bernhisel did not return a phone call requesting information about the squad by press time.

Perched above the teeming tourist-packed piazza, Raymond Blanc's French eatery is a veritable oasis where gastronomic delights await even the littlest of guests
Covent Garden on a sunny Sunday afternoon in late November is not a place for the faint-hearted. Early Christmas shoppers jostle with ambling tourists making for a swirling sea of pedestrians whose unpredictable current can sweep you in all sorts of unplanned directions. We, however, were determined not to be diverted from our destination – Brasserie Blanc, Raymond Blanc's fine French eatery that resides on the Opera Terrace opposite the Royal Opera House where we were booked in for a family lunch.
Pushing our way through the throng, we finally arrived at the restaurant's entrance where we climbed the stairs and were immediately struck by the atmosphere that is in such stark contrast to the madness below. Gone was all the hustle and bustle to be replaced by a calm serenity where waiters glided around balletically carrying huge silver salvers aloft while diners (a real mixture of young and old, families and couples) were lapping up the theatre of it all. The wonderful glass edifice of the Opera Terrace adds to the showmanship of the place, with dappled wintry sunlight streaming through the floor to ceiling windows.
Greeted by the charming maître de we were shown to our table where we had glorious views of the bustling streets below. My children, Kit and Natasha, were especially captivated by the giant silver reindeer that currently adorns the piazza, while my husband and I were more taken with the menu that had been placed in front of us and which we both greedily surveyed. Brasserie Blanc prides itself on offering local, sustainable and seasonal French food, and the offering on the day of our visit did not disappoint.
My children, strapping 11-year-old twins, were initially given the Henri Le Worm kids' menu (and jolly lovely it looked too, being based on the popular app created by Monsieur Blanc's son Olivier, and with not a chicken nugget or pizza in sight), but our waitress sensed that perhaps Kit and Natasha's appetites required more sizable portions, so offered up the a la carte menu as well.
My lovely tweenies settled on a best of both worlds approach opting to share a starter (as did we), while having their own main courses. Our waitress also suggested an aperitif of trempettes (olive tapenade, saffron garlic mayonnaise, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and baguette). This arrived at the same time as our drinks (G&T for me, Bloody Mary for the husband and juice for Kit and Natasha) and proved to be the perfect accompaniment. My son, an avowed hater of a certain well-known brand of mayonnaise was completely converted by this little bowl of oleaginous deliciousness.
Next up was the charcuterie we'd ordered and the Scottish rope-grown mussels for the children. Our mini meat feast (accompanied by a fine glass of house red) had my husband and me fencing with the forks over the last piece of salami, while the children competed over who could find the biggest mussel – an honour which went to Natasha who then gobbled it up with gusto.
After a decent interval, it was the turn of the mains. These arrived to wide–eyed wonderment from Kit and Natasha whose respective plates of coarse-cut burger and Shetland Isle salmon fillet were definitely bigger than their bellies (although they both gave it their very best shot, with Kit almost succeeding bar half of the bun). We had opted for the chateaubriand for two that the waitress placed on a small table beside us and then proceeded to slice with a suitably theatrical flourish. Not that knife skills needed to be tested as these particular discs of medium rare prime fillet were so soft and exquisitely tender they almost had the consistency of pâté.
Once slathered in a creamy béarnaise sauce and accompanied by dauphinoise potatoes, chantenay carrots and French beans, our dish was elevated to the realms of the sublime, as evidenced by the quickly cleaned plates and the very full sensation we experienced afterwards. Guided by our waitress, however (well, I have to blame someone), we were tempted to share fromage while the children were directed towards a not very Gallic sounding bread and butter pudding (a quick Google search, however, reveals it's a dish that the French also claim as their own, and where it is known as pain perdu or lost bread). With these last indulgences tipping us into a postprandial haze, the time had come for us to depart, but we did so with heavy hearts and equally heavy stomachs. Such is the wonderful ambience of Brasserie Blanc we could happily have spent the entire day.

This 'Different' Funeral Idea Is Pretty Creepy And Bizarre
When I think of a funeral, I think of gloomy faces in old suits and dark dresses in a cold church with the body laid out in a coffin in full sight like a prized possession. I don't imagine this.
This is the body of 26-year-old Fernando de Jesus Diaz Beato, who was killed in a fatal shooting earlier this month.
In a killing that police have no leads on, Fernando was shot 15 times outside his home in the Villa Carolina neighbourhood of San Juan on March 3, reports the Daily Mail.
The Puerto Rican man's family opted not for the conventional funeral preparations, but rather something a million miles out of the ordinary.
The victims family described him as a 'happy and very active person', and thus concluded that he was better suited sat with his legs crossed, dressed in his favourite clothes, and with a cigarette clutched between his fingers, than in a coffin.
As a 'surprise', the funeral parlour thought it would be a nice gesture to open Fernando's eyes.
In the video one of Diaz Beato's sisters comments to say:
Everybody is really surprised because seeing him like that is like seeing him as if he were alive.
Another adds:
We decided to embalm him like this because he was a very happy person, very active and we want to remember him as he was.
Almost like a work of fine art or sculpture, Diaz Beato sits and stares at the family as if he was there one last time, an effect that the chosen funeral parlour has tried to create numerous times in the past.
However, this is the first funeral where they have chosen to keep the dead's eyes open. They say it is the first time this practice has been ever done.
The idea of a recently departed loved one just sitting there, casually smoking, staring blankly at you just feels a bit weird.
Police continue to investigate the murder.
