Letters: Don't let the tiggers get bounced into by-elections
Kenneth Brown
LONDON, ENGLAND - FEBRUARY 18: (L-R) Labour MP's Anne Coffey, Angela Smith, Chris Leslie, Chuka Umunna, Mike Gapes, Luciana Berger and Gavin Shuker announce their resignation from the Labour Party at a press conference on February 18, 2019 in London, England. Chuka Umunna MP along with Chris Leslie, Luciana Berger, Gavin Shuker, Angela Smith, Anne Coffey and Mike Gapes have announced they have resigned from the Labour Party and will sit in the House of Commons as The Independent Group of Members of Parliament.

'If TIG should call by-elections so should the MPs in the ERG or linked to Momentum'
Labour and Tory representatives say MPs in the Independent Group (TIG) should call by-elections in their seats as they were originally elected on another party's manifesto.
If this is the case, why is it that MPs such as those in the ERG or linked to Momentum seem free to operate as separate 'parties within parties' with total equanimity? They are completely free apparently to drag their host parties to the extremes of politics.
If TIG should call by-elections so should the MPs in the ERG or linked to Momentum who are currently behaving like parasites, concealed from public scrutiny by the party labels they hide behind.
Kenneth Brown, Stroud
Our MPs are elected to make considered decisions on our behalf and not purely at the tribal behest of party managers.
If we want honesty and principled behaviour in our politicians, we should not condemn them or ask them to call by-elections when they act according their principles.
John Bates, Morecambe
Listening to Anna Soubry's speech as she left the Tories made me feel dizzy. As a former Labour supporter and councillor, who would never ever vote for the party that has been trashing the UK since 1979, my admiration for Soubry felt a little like suddenly looking down from the top balcony of a skyscraper.
Obviously everything is relative. She was, after all, just displaying the kind of common sense, intelligence and ability to string a coherent sentence and cogent arguments together that we used to take for granted in those who achieved high office.
It has been so long, however, since we witnessed anyone of her calibre taking the limelight for any significant amount of time, it was a little like encountering a unicorn.

Those of you who have read this blog for a while, know that the mountain cabin holds a special place in my heart. The cabin is small, has no electricity or water supply, it takes about an hour to get there both in summer and winter, and there is hardly any cell phone connection. It's the perfect contrast to our fast-paced, logged on daily lives. Both Sølve and I love spending time there.
Unfortunately I have found myself hesitant to going there lately and I feel sad for feeling this way about this magical place. The reason is simply our kids, especially Sverre. I have worried too much about the temperature, will he accept the pulk, will he sleep well, will he manage to stay away from the wood fire, will he stay away from the steep stairway to the attic, will he have a good time or do I have to watch his every step (he is such a mamma's boy!). And to be honest, when Friday afternoon arrives I prefer the thought of my sofa rather than packing for a weekend getaway to a remote mountain cabin.
But then a Saturday morning we did it; we packed our ski gear (always a hassle when it's for the first trip of the season), drove the two hours to the mountains (Sverre napped and Sara watched cartoons - bliss!), got ourselves a snowmobile "taxi" (because we were not sure if Sara was up for the trip; she proved us wrong on the return - such proud parents and grandparents!) and was rewarded with blue skies, fresh snow and happy grandparents welcoming us at the cabin.
Sara was super excited to be back and Sverre was a happy camper too. He slept well, accepted the pulk both for napping and hanging out, stayed clear of the wood fire and the stairway. In fact it was all good - great even.
I left the door to the outhouse open during my evening errands and soaked in the tranquility, the full moon and a sky full of stars. I was reminded that being outdoors is always worth it, even though it requires an extra effort with kids. Hopefully we will return to the cabin more than once before the winter season is over.
My goodness, those photos! Especially the first few - the sky! Beautiful. I feel the same way before many camping trips, even in the summer. My couch and my own bed are often such a temptation. So glad this trip was worth the effort.
Lovely pictures from the trip to the mountain cabin. It seems to be your familys' happy place.

These local eateries have menus that offer either organic or sustainably raised or fair trade or vegetarian fare.
Their focus has been on organic produce, much of which is grown in Pennsylvania, and sustainably produced meat and fish. But they stress it's not a health food restaurant. The cuisine is sophisticated and the decor is almost Japanese in its simplicity. The name Farmicia emphasizes the farm-produced food, but also the site's origin as a pharmacy.
The White Dog Cafe is located in three adjacent Victorian brownstones in the University City section of Philadelphia. Known for our unusual blend of award-winning cuisine and social activism, the cafe presents numerous events throughout the year which please palates while raising consciousness. "Our cuisine is contemporary American and incorporates many influences in American culture from Native American to Southeast Asian. We emphasize high quality, farm fresh ingredients, purchased from local sustainable farmers whenever possible. All of our menus change frequently to reflect the freshest available ingredients. The menu balances the familiar with the new, presenting dishes with flair, originality, and outstanding flavor and freshness. Our Ingredients: The White Dog Cafe's support of sustainable agriculture is driven by both taste and food politics. Seasonal, local, and organically grown ingredients taste better. Humane and sustainable agriculture produces safe, wholesome food in a manner that is ecologically sound, economically viable, equitable, humane, and provides a healthy and safe environment for the present and future generations."
Health food store and cafe. Cafe is vegan-friendly but not 100% vegetarian, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. Stocks organic and macrobiotic options. Accept credit cards.
Chef and co-owner Shannon Dougherty lets her own vegetarian preferences influence the menu at A Full Plate Café and Catering, her quirky, casual eatery in Northern Liberties. Park the dog outside and enjoy toads in a hole (in veggie or meat variations), fried green tomato salad or a spinach and black bean burger.
At Govinda's Gourmet Vegetarian, vegans can choose from a $14.95 buffet or order from the a la carte menu, featuring mock-meat dishes such as pan-roasted "duck" with sweet potato puree and peanut ginger sauce.
"Destination Dining". Vegetable lovers flock to Bucks County, where Holly and Mike Jackson turn out creative, big-portioned vegetarian food (no meat substitutes) in a cozy, romantic atmosphere.
A nationally acclaimed "destination dining" vegan cuisine restaurant right here in the Bella Vista/South Street area. A half block from South Street, it is the city's highest-rated vegan restaurant with a sumptuous upstairs dining room. Menu highlights include tapas, hearts of palm paella and saffron crème brulee.
A favorite low-key hangout among young veg types is Gianna's Grille, with two locations just steps off South Street and Rittenhouse Square. The signature sandwich is the freebird (vegetarian chicken), available barbequed, Italiano or Buffalo-style. Also pizza, stromboli, salad etc. Save room for one of the many excellent vegan baked goods, including cheesecakes, bombes, soft serve ice cream and cannolis.
In the heart of Chinatown. Specialties include aux orange beef and more than two dozen veggie dim sum options, more than a dozen bean curd dishes and chef's specials such as eggplant fritters, stuffed mushrooms and mock chicken and shrimp in a garlic mango sauce.
Another Chinatown destination, the$10 all-you-can-eat dim sum is a big draw of starving artists and students. An array of dumplings and the jumbo walnut "shrimp" are popular choices at this kosher vegan eatery.
Inexpensive lunch specials with menu options of Kung Pao tofu, soybean nuggets with sweet and sour sauce and sesame seitan. There are also veggie versions of favorite soups, noodle and rice dishes.


On a pleasant early May evening the Texas Hill Country, I'd set about to photograph the brilliant colors that were popping up everywhere. I found this Texas Wildflower image near Llano. I had hoped for a nice sunset with amazing clouds, but instead I was presented with clear skies and a setting moon. I did enjoy this field of reds and golds, and it even had a few bluebonnets sprinkled here and there. Photo © copyright by Rob Greebon.

How are Speedline Truck wheels made?
Speedline Truck are part of the well-known Ronal Group, who worldwide produce close to 20 million wheels every year. The Speedline Truck division was founded to design, engineer and manufacture high quality alloy wheels specifically for commercial vehicles.
Speedline Truck wheels are forged from a solid block of T6061 aluminium alloy. The forging process heats the alloy billet and presses it into a frisbee shape preform; requiring forces of up to 12,000 tons. Then rollers apply pressure on the flange until the desired height and thickness of wheel rim is achieved. Next, high-precision machining and drilling processes the wheels' features and dresses the surface. This heating, pressure and curing process delivers extremely uniform wheels with higher concentricity than steel wheels. With no welds or joins to weaken the engineering integrity, they are much stronger, more durable and considerably lighter than either steel or cast-aluminium wheels.
Every Speedline Truck wheel design has been tested under load for the equivalent of 1.5 million kilometres. This commitment to excellence explains why they hold TÜV Certification and the German ABE License for the replacement market. The 22.5" wheels also hold Eurocycle Approval for Truck OEM fitment. Manufactured to consistently high, quality approved standards, they benefit from a 5-year unlimited mileage warranty.

80th "Science to Patients" ME/CFS interview on YouTube
#MEAction
The Dutch ME/CFS Association (ME/CVS Vereniging) has posted the 80th in its video interview series, "Science to Patients" ("Wetenschap voor Patienten"), this time featuring British academic neuropsychiatrist Dr. Neil Harrison.
Dr. Harrison, of Sussex University, discusses the possible role of inflammation in the brains of ME/CFS patients in seven mini-interviews in the series. In the interviews, he said, "A number of groups, including my own, are looking to see whether we can develop MRI techniques to identify inflammation within the brain. At the moment, some of the data is quite hopeful."
Asked whether he expected a breakthrough in ME/CFS research, he said, "My answer to this is very much yes. I think the developments that I've seen in research funding within the UK, and the number of groups that are getting involved in investigating the physiology in ME, I think are very good signs that we should be hopeful of breakthroughs in ME research in the coming years."
The full set of interview series can be found here and include interviews with clinician and researcher Professor Kenny De Meirleir of Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium; cardiologist Professor FC Visser of the Erasmus University Medical Center, Rotterdam, the Netherlands; Dr. Charles Shepherd, medical advisor of the UK's ME Association; Professor Julia Newton of Newcastle University, UK, who specialises in the autonomic nervous system; psychologist Professor Leonard Jason of DePaul University, Chicago; neuroscientist Professor Alan Light, of the University of Utah; and clinician Dr. Lucinda Bateman of the Bateman Horne Center in Utah.
Interviews with Dr. Byron Hyde, founder of the Nightingale Research Foundation in Ottawa, Canada, have also been filmed and will be posted at a later date.
Interviews are either in English or subtitled in English: transcripts are also provided.
Since January 2014, ME/CVS Vereniging has also published a free, bimonthly e-magazine in English, the ME Global Chronicle. Back-issues may be viewed and subscriptions set up here. Contributions can be submitted to [email protected]

UN scientists plan for failure at global climate change talks
By Louise Gray
December 1, 2010 — 3.00am
CANCUN: United Nations scientists are to consider putting mirrors in space and sprinkling iron filings in the sea to cut global warming, the climate change summit in Cancun has heard.
The announcement is a signal that the world's leading climate scientists are losing faith in the prospects of a global deal to stop temperature rise by limiting emissions.

Speaking at the summit, Rajendra Pachauri, the head of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, said the panel's next report on global warming would not only look at the threat of rising temperatures but also consider ''geo-engineering'' options that could reverse warming.
There are already low expectations for the summit, being held at this beach resort on Mexico's east coast.
Representatives from more than 190 countries are meeting at the Moon Palace Hotel to try to find a way to limit emissions so that temperature rises stay below 2 degrees.
The IPCC is responsible for setting out the scientific basis for the talks.
Addressing the opening conference, Dr Pachauri said if humanity continued to produce greenhouse gases at the current rate the world could experience catastrophic warming within 50 years.
He said the threat was so great that the fifth assessment report (AR5), due to be presented to the United Nations in 2014, would look at ''geo-engineering options''.
Later this year IPCC ''expert groups'' will meet in Peru to discuss geo-engineering. Options include putting mirrors in space to reflect sunlight or covering Greenland in a massive ''blanket'' so it does not melt.
Sprinkling iron filings in the ocean ''fertilises'' algae, which absorbs CO2 and ''seeding clouds'' means that sunlight is blocked. Other options include artificial ''trees'' that suck carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, painting roofs white to reflect sunlight, and human-made volcanoes that spray sulphate particles high in the atmosphere to scatter the sun's rays back into space.
Critics have argued that the process could make climate change worse through unintended consequences.
Opening the talks, Mexico's President, Felipe Calderon, insisted a deal was still possible.
''During the next two weeks the whole world will be looking at you. It would be a tragedy not to overcome the hurdle of national interests.''
The prospect of a treaty being agreed is remote, as the world's two biggest emitters, China and the US, will not agree to legally binding targets.
What remains difficult, and what is unlikely to be resolved, is the fate of the 13-year-old Kyoto Protocol, which is set to expire at the end of 2012.
The protocol - which was never accepted by the United States - sets different requirements for developed and developing countries. It has been used by developing countries such as China, India and Brazil to demand more emissions reductions by the US and other advanced economies.
China refuses to be bound to an accord that does not require larger, verifiable reductions from the US and other wealthy countries. The US is demanding the protocol's distinctions among countries be scrapped and that all nations work together to attack climate change.

1. Purchase frozen vegetables at first. Frozen greens are simpler to rearrange as they're already clear and cut. Additionally they gained't go dangerous on you, which is a huge function plenty of individuals stray from the vegetable section. I wish to suggest frozen broccoli, spinach, inexperienced beans, and asparegus to start. Frozen broccoli could be added to macaroni and cheese, or some other frozen or boxed pasta dish. It's moreover nice with melted cheese or with asian fashion sauces. Frozen spinach is unquestionably added to scrambled eggs, omelets, pastas, and would possibly even be sprinkled onto frozen pizza sooner than it goes within the oven. Inexperienced beans and asparegus is likely to be roasted, sauteed, or boiled as a simple side dish to meat, fish, rice, and pasta.
2. If you're ready to buy current greens, purchase carrots, celery, onions, and garlic. Carrots and celery are scrumptious as snacks with varied dips in their raw type, and are also great sauteed into stir fries and added into soups. Canned vegetable or noodle soups would do effectively with some up to date veggies, as most of the dietary value of canned greens is gone by the point they're eaten. Onions and garlic can be used to flavor absolutely anything, meat, eggs, fish, and veggies alike. They're nice foundation for Italian, Mexican, and Asian flavored dishes. Onions, garlic, celery, and carrots are additionally the proper base for soups. Maintain them within the crisper and they'll all last weeks earlier than going bad.
3. Now that you simply've started to include veggies into your life, try so as to add salad. Purchase a pre-minimize, pre-washed bag of romaine lettuce or blended greens. Stay away from ice burg lettuce as there may be little dietary value, not even very much fiber! As an alternative of using dressing, try topping your salad with sliced turkey, chicken, exhausting boiled egg, sardines, tuna, or nuts. If it's too dry for you, add some olive oil and lemon juice with sea salt and pepper, or salsa. You probably have a favorite dressing, learn the label carefully. Many dressings shall be up to 200 calories per tablespoon, largely from fat. If ranch is an absolute favorite, attempt only using 1 tbsp and utilizing different issues to taste your salad or combine a little bit ranch dressing with a bit of skim milk to make it go further. Moreover try to purchase all pure salad dressing as many embody MSG!
4. As quickly as you are feeling more comfortable with greens, making ready meals and creating meals, begin mapping out meals and purchase the greens you want for them, even if it's just one meal per week. This way you should buy contemporary greens with out concern of them going bad. Be open minded about totally different flavors and textures. Take a look at recipes in cook dinner books and on-line to get some ideas. This is usually a probability to be creative and will stimulate your thoughts and physique! Proceed your personal research and determine what greens you want and revel in preparing. Notice the excellence in how you are feeling and function. Attempt to buy organic when you can, and know that farmers markets will forestall cash and feed your soul.
5. Make meals for associates and family utilizing the delicious vegetable dishes you've created. Know that you're doing something sort for them and their bodies. Construct a neighborhood of vegetable followers and swap ideas and recipes. Thank yourself for taking excellent care of your body and soul, congratulate your self for taking the steps to bettering your health.

Deputy Louis Harvill and Constable William Hood were shot and killed while investigating two suspicious vehicles that were parked in front of a dance hall. As they walked between the cars an occupant hiding in one of them opened fire, striking both officers.
Two brothers were apprehended and charged with the officer's murders.
Deputy Harvill died at the scene and Constable Hood succumbed to his wounds five days later.
Deputy Harvill was survived by his wife and four children.


I was very excited to facilitate the first project meeting of the Regional Contract and Procurement Committee. Despite best efforts, inclement weather meant that there were not quite as many Councils represented at the meeting as was originally planned however with the first years funding requiring acquittal by the end of June 2018 we decided to press on and it was very worthwhile with some great progress made. Further information is available by contacting your individual Council committee members – if you're not sure who that is please let me know. Unfortunately, the poor weather did delay the Regional Procurement Committee meeting also due to take place which will now be rescheduled.
The Regional Water Treatment Committee also met with Coogee Chemicals for a contract meeting this month and we were pleased to hear details of the new depot currently being constructed by Coogee Chemicals in Cairns. The new depot will increase capacity from the 2 x 25,000 litre tanks currently available to 3 x 50,000 litres with capacity of a further 1 x 50,000. Construction is well underway with the concrete slab complete and the building works now underway ready for opening scheduled for mid-21018. This is an exciting development for our region as it provides improved supply of a critical product that is in extremely high demand.
Planning for the 18/19 Regional Bitumen Reseal is now well underway and a potential Sewer Relining arrangement in development, it does not show any signs of slowing down. However, I am still waiting for interested Councils to provide their data for sewer relining – if you are keen to get involved please ensure the data requested is provided by your Council as soon as possible. Hopefully there will be more to report on this next time!
Richard Cassidy Executive Director, Office of the Chief Advisor, Procurement who shared details of the Queensland Procurement Strategy, and the Queensland Government's new procurement policy which came into effect on 1 March 2018. Of particular note is that lowest price is no longer the focus of the new policy, which now considers other objectives such as local and indigenous employment and environmental impacts with a weighting of up to 30% is allowed for in relation to the local benefits test. Whilst Local Government procurement is quite clearly governed by its own quite separate 'rules' under the Local Government Act and Regs, it is a clear indicator of where the State is focused and possibly the direction local government legislation will eventually take.

Bach's Very Busy First International Olympic Committee Meeting
Russian organizers will set up protest zones in Sochi, the new International Olympic Committee president, Thomas Bach said. Whether they will work, or anyone will have the courage to want to step into them amid what is expected to be a ferocious security presence, remain very much an open question.
The IOC president took the high road: "It's a measure we welcome," Bach said of the protest area, "so that everybody can express his or her free opinion."
With an emphasis on such immediate challenges and even a nod to ceremony, the first executive board meeting of Bach's IOC presidency commenced here Tuesday, Dec. 10 and then, no surprise, broke up after a few short hours, the focus on Sochi,
on the Rio 2016 project and even on a long-term plan that Bach has taken to calling "Olympic Agenda 2020."
The former president, Jacques Rogge, handed over the keys to the presidential office at the IOC's lakefront headquarters, the Chateau de Vidy. Later, the Olympic Museum, just down the road along the lake, was officially reinaugurated.
Russian President Vladimir Putin discusses the 2014 Sochi Winter Games with new International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach.
But, first and foremost, Sochi.
The 2014 Winter Games are now just 59 days away. A host of other pressing near-term issues loom large on the agenda.
Despite the massive security presence due in and around the Sochi venues, activists purportedly now will be free to protest, for instance, the Russian law that purports to ban "propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations" to those under 18.
In August, Russian President Vladimir Putin had signed a decree banning "gatherings, rallies, demonstrations, marches and pickets" for 2 1/2 months in Sochi around the Olympics and Paralympics. It is due to go into effect on Jan. 7. The Games start Feb. 7.
Bach said Sochi 2014 organizers informed the IOC of the decision to set up protest zones during their report to the executive board.
As a point of comparison: protest zones in Beijing in 2008, miles away from Olympic venues, largely went unused. Bach said he was unsure where the 2014 protest site is to be located.
Without making explicit reference to the gay controversy, Bach noted that IOC rules about what athletes can — and can not — do and say under the Olympic charter are going to be sent out shortly to the more than 200 national Olympic committees. Rule 50 bars political statements within Olympic venues. Rule 40, moreover, limits what athletes can do in regard to individual sponsorships. "They," meaning the rules, "are there to protect themselves," meaning the athletes, Bach said.
Bach noted that there is "still a lot to do" in Sochi "with regard to infrastructure, accommodation and other issues." Even so, he said, the IOC remains "very confident" that "everything will be in place and we will have really an excellent stage for the best athletes of the world."
The Rio 2016 Games, widely seen in Olympic circles as an "adventure," have already drawn the new president's sharp attention. He said he plans to travel to Brazil — before February 7, and Sochi gets going — to meet with Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff and other officials. And after Sochi, the "top priority" of Gilbert Felli, the outgoing Games' executive director, will be Rio, Bach said, a recognition — if not admission — the project needs special attention. Even though Felli is formally retiring as of Aug. 31, he will continue long after to "work closely" with Rio organizers, Bach said.
"We have to realize, and also the organizing committee has realized, there is not a single moment to lose," Bach said. "Every effort has to be made, every single day, to bring the construction of Olympic sites and infrastructure forward."
Beyond all that, there already is in the works the makings of a long-term strategic plan. This is what Bach has taken to calling "Olympic Agenda 2020."
Indeed, the executive board — after holding the briefest of meetings Tuesday morning (Dec. 12) with the Association of National Olympic Committees and then convening itself for the rest of the day — is now due to head off for a four-day retreat up Lake Geneva in Montreux, better known as the site of the famous summer jazz festival, for a think session to sketch out Olympic Agenda 2020.
Everything — for emphasis, everything — not only should be but appears to be on the table.
As Bach has described it, this "brainstorming meeting" essentially breaks down into four categories:
One, sustainability. This includes everything from bidding for the Games to the 28-sport limit at the Summer Olympics to the management of the Games to "legacy," or what to do with Olympic venues post-Games to avoid so-called "white elephants" like the stadiums in Athens or Beijing.
Also: should the members be allowed again to the visit cities bidding for the Olympics? Should baseball and softball be allowed into the Tokyo 2020 Games? How, broadly speaking, to jazz up the program? Should tug-of-war be allowed in as
a sport? Skateboarding? Surfing?
Two, credibility. This revolves around issues such as doping and match-fixing as well as issues of autonomy and governance.
Three, youth and the Youth Games. As Bach said, the notion here is how to " get the couch potatoes off the couch." What if the Youth Games, which came to life under Rogge, were used as a laboratory, just to see what worked and, perhaps, more intriguingly, what didn't? Above all, the IOC's No. 1 challenge is to remain relevant with young people.
Four, the structure of the IOC itself. Here, there are bound to be discussions revisiting some of the reforms that were enacted in 1999 amid the Salt Lake City scandal — such as, for instance, the rule that now forces IOC members out at age 70 (it used to be 80). Fourteen years after that rule came into effect, there appears to be widespread consensus that 70 is too soon, that considerable talent and networking is being forced out in a world where being 70 is not necessarily old anymore.
This big-picture think is, frankly, long overdue. Every organization ought to go through something like it periodically. For the IOC, the change in the presidency is the natural time.
Bach has cautioned that the Montreux retreat is not designed to and will not produce decisions. There may be a new president but, as ever, the IOC moves at a deliberate pace.
In this instance, that makes sense. There are stakeholders of all sorts to consult. At the outset of his presidency, Bach enjoys considerable goodwill. Even so, he will want time to pursue that buy-in.
The timetable:
December 2013 — Montreux retreat.
February 2014 — Sochi session.
Fourth quarter 2014 — probable extraordinary session, somewhere, to review and presumably enact Olympic Agenda 2020. "I hope we will need one," Bach said.
The other advantage of this Montreux retreat, of course, is that while it can be assumed, politically, that the 14 others on the board are with the new president, the four days together will give him the chance to see who is all the more with him.
These next few weeks also will give everyone the chance to see — with the elections in Sochi coming right up, by a quirk of the IOC calendar — who is vying for authority in Bach's early years.
If, for instance, Zaiqing Yu of China isn't a candidate for the IOC vice-presidency, that would by most accounts be a surprise. Similarly, if Turkey's Ugur Erdener doesn't run for the board, that would be unusual. Same goes for Canada's Dick Pound, who lost out by a mere one vote in Buenos Aires in September.
In just under two months, it's Sochi. Now, though, it's off to Montreux. No press allowed. No outsiders.
"I'm really looking forward to a brainstorming meeting in Montreux," Bach said. "Don't expect any kind of decisions from this meeting. It will be brainstorming."

Het GAZİ-Stadion auf der Waldau is een stadion in de Duitse stad Stuttgart. In het stadion spelen de voetbalclub de Stuttgarter Kickers en de American footballclub ASC Stuttgart Scorpions hun thuiswedstrijden, en sinds 2008 ook het tweede elftal van VfB Stuttgart. Het stadion beschikt over 11.544 plaatsen, waarvan 1.380 overdekte zitplaatsen en 5.094 overdekte staanplaatsen.

Al sinds de bouw in 1905, als Kickers Stadion, is dit het thuisstadion van de Stuttgarter Kickers. Geen andere Duitse voetbalvereniging speelt zijn thuiswedstrijden al zo lang in hetzelfde stadion. Toch is er voor het eerste elftal geen doorlopende reeks, want toen de club in 1988/89 en 1991/92 in de 1. Bundesliga speelde, week men om veiligheidsredenen uit naar de Mercedes-Benz Arena van stadgenoot VfB Stuttgart.

In 1976 werd de nog bestaande houten hoofdtribune vervangen door een nieuwe met moderne plastic stadionstoelen. In 1987 werd het stadion Waldau-Stadion genoemd, en in 2005 werden de naamrechten van het stadion aan hoofdsponsor Garmi AG verkocht. Deze is eigenaar van de merknaam GAZİ en gaf het stadion de huidige naam.

Working with Manatts Construction Co., Greg Mulder, P.E., director of the Iowa DOT's office of construction and materials, and his staff recently piloted a "proof of concept" project and developed what they think could be the next step in a paperless, efficient process for documenting asphalt deliveries to highway construction projects.
For Mulder, extending the e-construction process to the point of asphalt delivery was a matter of safety, efficiency and best use of personnel.
"At the point of delivery is where we would hit a snag in the electronic process," he says. "Each truck driver still carries a paper load-out ticket used to document the details of the delivery that is collected by the Iowa DOT inspector on the jobsite."
For the Iowa DOT, there was a large amount of paper being generated for weight tickets that were needed to satisfy federal requirements for proof of delivery and quality assurance. Tickets can be lost and since tickets are required for contractor payment, tracking down lost tickets is a real time draw and brought questions forward about did that load actually get delivered to the job. Safety issues also exist with personnel climbing on the side of trucks to gather the weight ticket from the driver. Having GPS tracking of each truck ticket, makes this process very transparent.
For the pilot, Mulder chose a centrally located project to ensure oversight. Manatts was awarded the contract and was willing to partner with the Iowa DOT. After reviewing several similar software solutions and meeting Earthwave at an asphalt paving conference, Mulder realized that the company's Fleetwatcher software was very close to meeting his needs.
"The technology existed and with a few software tweaks, we could dramatically increase worksite safety and reduce tedious tasks of collecting tickets and be able to better use our trained and qualified people to work on quality control and project administration - items that will ultimately build better quality roadways."
Highway 69 is a primary two-lane roadway that vertically dissects Iowa in two. The 8-mile-long resurfacing pilot project on Highway 69 was just south of Ames, which is in the central part of Iowa. Manatts was chosen to mill off the existing asphalt surface, rubbelize the concrete underneath, then place a new 7-in. asphalt overlay on top.
The project was actually completed in two phases, says Steve Rooney, general superintendent of Manatts Ames Division. The first phase in May 2015 was a mile-long stretch and completed in 10 days - no telematics were used during this portion of the project.
Manatts began using the Fleetwatcher technology from Earthwave on its equipment during the second phase, which started at the end of July 2015. During this 30-day phase, nearly 63,000 tons of asphalt were placed.
Using a global positioning system (GPS), Fleetwatcher not only tracks the location of trucks through GPS but displays important details regarding load cycle times at the plant, on the job and travel times between.
GPS transponders were installed in both company-owned and third-party trucks Manatts was using to haul hot mix asphalt (HMA) to the jobsite. GPS transponders were also installed on two pavers being used on the job. Installation was accomplished in the trucks via a cigarette lighter adapter in the cab, while the pavers' transponders were hardwired into their batteries. Both systems have an internal battery backup. The piloted system also included a mobile field application for smart phones and tablets.
Fleetwatcher recorded the truck's location during the entire cycle with time-stamped data when entering the scale, leaving the plant, entering the project, backing up to the paver and finally leaving the project and returning to the plant.
The telematics system also updated and recorded an electronic trail every minute throughout the day with real-time dashboards and graphical reports to help the Iowa DOT verify that the certified product was delivered and incorporated into the project.
While there are side benefits to DOTs, these reports and dashboards benefit contractors in many ways, says Larry Baker, vice president with Earthwave Technologies.
"Contractors can easily visit a website and setup a project using a map with boundaries," he says. "They can track truck movements using a dashboard and generate reports. Data can be exported to a spreadsheet file for further analysis. The primary benefit is the reduction in large amounts of paper and quick analysis."
Contractors need not worry about dead zones, says Baker. "Satellites triangulate the location and the Verizon network is used for communication," he says. "The system stores all packets received, so if there is a dead zone, the system catches up when coverage is back."
Baker says this type of system also has the ability to enhance the contractor/subcontractor relationship. "If a contractor is paying by time increment instead of quantity, it could alleviate any issues with full payment for downtime, such as refueling time," he says. "By using this e-construction tool, the benefits of reducing one truck per day or a 10-hour shift can save as much as $1,000 a day."
In the pilot project, the plant needed consistent internet service, but the paver did not need a connection at all times. "If a device can access the internet, it can be incorporated into the system," says Baker.
Rooney with Manatts said the greatest benefit he saw during the Highway 69 project was the ability to track trucks through the system and average cycle times quickly. "We were able to make sure trucks are where they're supposed to be," he says. "We were also able to determine if there were too many or too few trucks."
He said one downside to using the technology was needing someone at the plant to ensure third-party trucks had the transponders installed. "Installation was very simple in the trucks, just plug and go," he says. "But I had to spend 20 to 30 minutes each morning to make sure each truck was outfitted with the technology."
Rooney said he liked that contractors could streamline reports and share select information with the DOT. "We could generate a report and share the information the DOT wanted with them electronically," he explains. Some information that exists in the system is oriented toward driver behavior and equipment usage, that is useful for the contractor was not selected to be shared in the DOT report.
Mulder and Rooney felt the Highway 69 e-construction pilot project was a success.
"To be completely successful with a paperless ticketing system, scale integration is needed with the Fleetwatcher system," says Mulder. "Scale integration would allow for electronic verification of the product and tonnage to be included with the product location verification tool."
Mulder says the Iowa DOT is planning to conduct additional pilot projects in 2016 that combine the electronic location data and reports from the initial pilot project with a new data element, electronic ticketing. Earthwave is currently working on and successfully testing an integration of electronic scales report-out systems with the GPS tracking reports to give contractors a daily summary report of the tonnage and certified materials types along with the GPS tracking as a part of their materials delivery solution.
"If everything goes as planned, our inspectors will be able to see when a truck is on the way with a mobile app in the field and be able to access electronic ticket numbers with the tonnage and certified material type electronically captured," he says. "The inspector should be able to integrate that data into daily reports without having to collect each ticket manually or key into a contractor pay software."
Mulder says electronic ticketing can have a major impact on the safety and efficiency at a jobsite. And while there's a long way to go to see paperless load tickets at every jobsite, he says this year's pilot projects can answer a lot of outstanding questions about how electronic ticketing will work.
"We still need to work out the audit process, and for the next pilot project, each driver will still carry a paper ticket for verification purposes," he says. "But we're looking forward to exploring electronic ticketing with scales integration to bring the next logical step in the e-construction process to fruition. If these next pilot projects are successful, we'll likely start including paperless ticketing as a contract requirement in the near future."

Life's Priorities
This is one of those rare blog entries that isn't a film review. I've done that in the past, but those were few and far between.
I thought I could carry this on indefinitely, writing these reviews for pleasure, which had opened some incredible doors for the good part of my life in the past decade or so. The galas, the premieres, the parties, the festivals, and best of all, getting to meet and know a lot of people from all corners of the globe, some of whom I have the privilege of knowing on a personal level, and proud to call them friends. And to do a stock take and look back, it's been one heck of a ride, and I'm thankful for everything that had happened, both the good (that made this life journey interesting) and the bad (hopefully brought out some character).
These are memories that are cherished, but alas there comes a point in time when one has to refocus on life's priorities. Stop and smell the roses so to speak. Where from out of the blue came that proverbial bolt of lightning, changing the game in more ways than one. For the good part of this month I was distracted, but in a good way, as I embark on another part of my life with someone I truly care about.
Trance was probably the last proper review that I did, and I'm embarrassed to say the recent ones after that aren't up to the scratch. And I've got an uncharacteristic backlog that should hopefully see the light of day soon.
I'm not totally disappearing, far from it I suppose, but it's nothing quite unexpected as I had seen this coming when I first started out. And like everything one starts, there's got to be a Plan B. I'd say to return to this blog's original intent that never really quite took off, to focus on local films. That Singapore commercial, or more importantly, indie film that is screaming for a chance to be heard, for its place amongst an unforgiving crowd. Let's do that. And I suppose that odd, occasional review from outside this little red dot, if time permits, and for films I feel strongly about, will pop up occasionally.
So see you at the movies. Although this time, I'm likely with someone special in tow, so come up and say Hi!
Babes gone bad. A simple enough premise, set around teenyboppers who just cannot wait to break their goody-two-shoes mould, and take on something grittier on film. Written and directed by Harmony Korine, Spring Breakers is that film you may feel nauseous when sitting through, no thanks to its psychedelic colours, repetitive voiceovers, in your face camera angles, and non linear chronological presentation that seemed high on moving backward and forward to rock your cognitive balance deliberately, providing that first hand experience on the perpetual state of high the characters all seem hooked on in their search for hedonism and narcotic nirvana.
It's like a guys wet dream fantasy come alive when dealing with characters who are uninhibited in wanting to try crazy stuff, and the story follows four college girls - Candy (Vanessa Hudgens), Brit (Ashley Benson), Cotty (Rachel Korine, wife of the writer-director) and Faith (Selena Gomez), the latter playing that religious girl enticed into the life of hard partying by friends who resorted to robbing a restaurant to fuel their spring break vacation. Then it's scene after scene of merry making, sometimes with the aid of drugs, that we see the drowning of values within Faith as she falls deeper into the rabbit hole of trouble.
Faith may be the character differentiated enough from the rest of her friends, but it's a little bit limited to what she can do, given the subject of peer pressure. The others were bland one-dimensional characters who bond deeper because of their clique that had survived an almost impossible pulling off of a robbery, catching the eye of Alien (James Franco), who decided to help the girls out of jail, posting their bail and taking them under his crooked wing.
James Franco stood out for being the thorn amongst the warped roses, and credit to the makeup and wardrobe team for completely knocking off his good looks, and replacing it with a gangsta inspired wardrobe with metallic braces, sun shades and plenty of tattoos. But the outfit doesn't make the character, and Franco owns it as Alien, a rapper cum drug dealer/distributor, complete with small army and a fortune to go on the recruitment hunt that would put the fun-seeking girls in his predatory path.
It's ultimately light in treatment, trying its best to ramp up the final act with the introduction of a gang rival, and the extent of rot the girls descended into, courtesy of the seduction from the dark side. There's little pleasure obtained from watching the movie, like a desperate exercise by the cast to show off how nasty they can actually be for film, playing to the fantasy of the filmmaker.
You'd have a fair idea just how this film would transpire from beginning to the end no thanks to its verbatim approach adopted by the trailer, which does the film no justice, leaking out every little detail, key scenes, and identifying all the major characters in the movie, giving away some supporting characters' demise as well. So what's left in the movie that would make anyone want to sit through and watch it?
Maybe it's the performances of its Academy Award winner and nominee in Halle Berry and Abigail Breslin, which the trailer also never fail to remind you of their acting pedigree, as if hinging on their past successes in order to guarantee this one. But even their experience alone can't salvage Richard D'Ovidio's story, which is kept simple, despite having an interesting premise to work on, in the centralized control centre of all 911 emergency calls in Los Angeles. It was worked well into the story as a prologue with Berry's Jordan Turner playing an emergency phone responder, and having things go down south when she's distracted and not composed in her role, causing the death of her caller (no worries, this already covered in trailer territory).
Now months later, she's no longer in the frontlines, but adopted the trainer role in induct new joiners to the occupation, explaining the job hazards and providing a lot more detail that serve as interesting nuggets of information to the audience, but little else, before the serial killer (Michael Eklund) strikes again, this time abducting Casey Welson (Breslin) from a mall's parking lot, before putting her in the boot and driving off. A cat and mouse game ensues, with Casey having in possession a pre-paid cellphone, can only feed off to the cops some bits and pieces of information, while the killer continues to violently thwart every obstacle put in his way.
There are little thrills and spills in the narrative no thanks to the trailer for just about leaking the entire story in under 3 minutes. It did however, keep the motivations of the killer at bay, although what's being revealed is neither shocking since it's somewhat expected. The kicker though, turned out to be the final few mintues, which plays completely out of character, yet in it because you know director Brad Anderson needed something more intelligent, and this was a random grasp amongst straws for anything that can be turned into a story about revenge and just desserts.
This could have been a fine romantic comedy and heartwarming family drama, but it turned out to be nothing more than an extension of its trailer, having revealed the entire plot, and a total waste of talent at its disposal. Directed by Justin Zackham, who also adapted the screenplay from the 2006 French-Swiss movie Mon Frere Se Marie, The Big Wedding is light on laughs, and even lighter in its dramatic, emotional moments, making it cold and distant, and never quite achieving anything in its featherweight treatment.
Imagine the likes of Robert De Niro, Katherine Heigl, Diane Keaton, Amanda Seyfried, Topher Grace, Susan Sarandon and Robin Williams in your cast list. Filmmakers will kill to get a fraction of that talent in their movies, and Zackham showed prime example just how to flush everyone down the toilet. It's true that if you get good talent, it's half the job done, but being unable to manage and direct, exposed how everyone can just go through the motions to get that paycheck for bill payments. Clocking at less than 90 minutes, everyone has a little bit of screen time, just to turn up, play their caricatures, then retire into the sunset. The premise was set, but hardly anything of note happens, with convenience pretty much summed everything up, and its supposed surprises being pulled off as desperate attempts to add flavour to the mix.
De Niro plays Don, who has for many years divorced his wife Ellie (Keaton), and is now in a relationship with Bebe (Sarandon). They all get together when their adopted kid Alejandro (Ben Barnes) is about to get married to Missy (Seyfried), and one would expect hilarity to ensue because of the clash of characters, and hidden agendas amongst all players. Then there's the big lie they have to put up with, because Alejandro's biological mother Madonna (Patricia Rae) is scheduled to attend his wedding, but seriously, at this point, everything had sounded terribly tedious.
The narrative then tried to boost its other areas and subplots to pad up the screen time, so we have Don and Ellie's other kids turn up to. Heigl plays Lyla, who has daddy issues and boyfriend woes, while Grace plays virgin Jared, who has the hots for Alejandro's biological sister Nuria (Ana Ayora), a Columbian who plays up Zackman's fantasy that South American girls are hot, and are willing to fulfill all sexual fantasies of American men. Robin Williams was nothing more than a cameo playing a priest, which he had already done to better results in License to Wed.
So expect the usual bickering when characters go head up against one another, especially with Missy's parents Barry (David Rasche) and Muffin (Christine Ebersole) doing nothing but to provide one liner revelations of their entanglements with the main family members. Surely this could have been that fine comedy when everything comes crashing down at one large, social gathering, but alas, The Big Wedding fell flat on its face, not knowing exactly what to do with talent and hand, and hampered by an extremely unmoving, and uninspiring story that didn't even try to be smart, since it can't get through to hearts, being without one of its own to begin with.
One of the worst films of the year? Well, it's a possibility, given its unbelievable criminal waste of talent. If you don't know what boring means, then you just might want to grit your teeth and sit through this. This film is big, on nothing and emptiness.
Something Between The Legs
It's hard to live up to one's tagline, especially when it's screaming the words "most terrifying", because it's building expectations sky high, only for it to come out a little bit underwhelming, despite having cult classic pedigree backing it. Evil Dead is that continuation of the Sam Raimi Evil Dead films that had Bruce Campbell in the starring role, but this installment is all seriousness without the camp, which made it a little bit dreadful to sit through, and an exercise in excessiveness.
With the slew of horror and slasher films trying to out-gore one another, a plateau has been reached as to how many times something can be dismembered on screen, full on view, without the need to cut away for decency. Then comes the gushing of copious amounts of blood fit for vampires partaking in their own version of Oktoberfest. There's a limit to how much is enough, though that limit has constantly been pushed further and further away, that it's probably not far fetched to start pondering about how much more the envelope can get pushed, before enough is enough. When one's desensitized, the ability of shock-and-awe diminishes, and the obsession to drape everything in blood isn't really healthy.
But I digress. Credit has to go where credit is due, and the entire make up department deserves that pat on the back for making its main cast of five look grotesque when they needed to be, given that the Book of the Dead has unleashed a demon amongst the midst of five young adults, who are assembled in an isolated cabin in the woods to assist one of them, Mia (Jane Levy), to kick her drug habit. This in itself is a smart premise, because when Mia experiences spooky occurences, it could be brushed aside and treated as just another side effect, until of course it's too late. Iconic scenes do not get replaced, so when Mia issues her threats while under possession, you'd know just what to expect.
The body count's pretty low here for obvious reasons there are only a handful of characters, but there were some nifty moments to ensure some of them got recycled as part of the plot. There's possessions and mind control, coupled with characters who can take a lot of punishment given the slew of weaponry being targeted at them, from chain saws to machetes to a nail gun. It has everything including the kitchen sink, and everything and anything can be used as fair game to stop the madness from decaying from within each of the characters.
As an expansion to the Evil Dead franchise, this has set itself up pretty neatly for future installments for this component, and the established mythos, to collide some time in the future. The soul, erm, sole redeeming factor here will be the finale, with Fede Alvarez crafting what would be an excellent scene of Man vs Monster that would be a no brainer as the poster-child of the movie, and one that's most memorable. It's a pity it had to plod along to get to the best part.
To say that Trance is this year's Inception, is to do either films a disservice. But if I were to lean toward a preference, then Danny Boyle's latest movie has an edge for being succinct in its tale, little loopholes and while fewer characters, is no less complex, but equally stylish in treatment, and bold in its story-telling, dealing with the premise of a heist gone wrong, and hypnosis being the last resort to get into the deepest recesses of the mind for the secrets it harbours.
James McAvoy is probably in one of his best roles yet, opening the film as Simon, an art auctioneer who apparently has reasons to turn corrupt, giving the lowdown on the security measures on how to secure the most valuable art piece of the session in the event of an interruption of the process. And lo and behold, a team led by Franck (Vincent Cassel) comes in forcefully to seize that same valuable asset, only for Simon to have hidden it away both physically and psychologically into his mind, that it seemed a peek into his subconscious would be necessary to unlock the location of the stolen painting. Enter Rosario Dawson's Elizabeth, a hypnotist with skills so sublime, she can lull you into anything if your guard is not tip top.
But you know I'm just scratching the surface of the premise, because even understanding the premise will take away the fun you would experience when watching the narrative unfold. What worked here is the multiple perspectives and shifts in the narrative that Danny Boyle puts you under, being the real mastermind and hypnotist at work in lulling us the audience into lapping up just about everything being thrown at us. Who you thought was the lead in the film, gave way to some other character, and then more, putting you in a spot, yet being terribly engaging from start to finish that you'd want to have a go at the story again, being enlightened the second time round as to who the real puppet master was.
Credit has to go to writers Joe Ahearne and John Hodge, the former who was responsible for an earlier television movie of the same name in which this film was partially based upon. What I love about the film, is that everything was neatly planned, and didn't entail crafting escape clauses for itself for a less than well thought out narrative. Everything was in place from the start, and the movie magic came from astute direction and intricate editing to shift perspectives, chronology and the like, together with absolutely wonderful performances from all three main leads to pull off this psychological thriller.
Danny Boyle once again proves to be one of the most eclectic filmmakers of this generation, taking on varied genres without a bat in the eyelid, and delivering impressive results in coming up with a film's powerful imagery, with that knack of blending in a top notch soundtrack, and coaxing stellar performances from his cast. Trance becomes that fine balance of substance and style, extremely well made, and very much less confusing than Inception, but no less complex in execution.
James McAvoy retains his boyish qualities while contrasting that with darker emotions that hasn't been seen in most of the films he had starred in. Vincent Cassel is no stranger to playing morally shady characters, and his chief instigator and mastermind being the heist could have been a walk in the park role, but once again he brings an edge to the character like none other, if not for his experience. And the surprise performance of all was Rosario Dawson. She's been in the industry for sometime already, but nothing really stood out until now. Not to mention it being one of her boldest acts yet, and the sacrifice having to really bare herself on screen.
There are many layers to this film than I dare reveal, but let's just say at its core, I'm buying into its love story about the dangers of obsession, which touched upon a raw nerve in how perverted it developed into, and how it enveloped all motivations of the players involved. The twists and turns in the last half hour will leave you breathless, filled with some gory moments that's quite Cronenberg-like. A definite recommend for its all round solid approach, and it's little wonder if it finds itself in my top films of the year listing.
The Horror
I thought after some days of hectic work I'd pick the funniest film on release this week to laugh my rear off, but unfortunately Scary Movie 5 turns in a disappointing form, with the Wayan brothers abandoning their franchise for A Haunted House instead. Despite having David Zucker in a writing capacity, this installment seems finally to have run out of steam in its long-running franchise, one which took the horror films in between them and give them the spoof treatment. And the lack of material shows despite the seven year absence, having to touch non-horror films as well given the wafer thin content upon which to draw inspiration from and to make fun of.
And you would think that their crowning glory, having the two Tinseltown folks who can't seem to get out of trouble and the wrong side of the limelight - Charlie Sheen and Lindsay Lohan - would be a tad interesting, but it's not. Both look like they were in it for the paycheck, and couldn't care less to ham it up a little. The jokes they partook in were really bad, with absolutely nothing to laugh at or about, and if they were to think they have a second career as comedians, they just might want to think again, given their lack of comic timing.
No spoof of any horror film today would be without the Paranormal Activity style of video cameras being mounted almost everywhere, with the playback naturally being remotely hilarious, especially when people tend to miss the whole point of what they were hoping to see. Forming the basis for whatever semblance of a storyline is that of Mama, which involves Jody (Ashley Tisdale) and Dan (Simon Rex) picking up three spooky kids, thrown into a mix of Paranormal Activity, complete with a haunted house, Mama, and a housekeeper whose antics were probably the best bits in the film.
Then came some other story development that linked up Black Swan, Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Evil Dead, for the most parts, and so you have one really amalgamated piece of narrative that had tried its best to blend these diverse stories together, but as it turned out, someone forgot to include genuine comedy in the film, short of tapping into the same old bags of toilet humour just for laughs. Some worked, and most didn't. Perhaps it is time to retire the franchise, for good. Even A Haunted House, was miles better than this, without having its jokes run stale, or feeling forced.
The many cameo appearances, do nothing to save the film from its depths of woeful scenes trying their hardest to pass off as comedy. And as if sitting through the film isn't torture enough, you can elect to stay until after the end credits to extend that dreaded feeling for a scene longer.

Tommy Fleetwood has been crowned Race to Dubai champion after a poor back nine from fellow Briton Justin Rose handed him the title on the final day of the European Tour season at the DP World Tour Championship.
A win by either Rose, second in the points standings before the tournament, or leader Fleetwood would have guaranteed them the Race to Dubai title and a $US1.25 million ($A1.75 million) bonus.
As it turned out, with Fleetwood sitting in the clubhouse after a scrappy final round of 74, Rose needed only to finish alone in fourth to take the title.
Rose looked in complete control of the tournament and was cruising after 11 holes, but he bogeyed three of the next five to slip down the leaderboard.
It still went to the wire, however, and if Rose had holed from the front fringe for eagle at the 72nd, he would have snatched the Race to Dubai crown.
It was not to be, however, as his putt drifted left of the hole, meaning Fleetwood took home the glory, with Rose finishing in a four-way tie for fourth on 17 under par after a final round 70.
The season finale at Jumeirah Golf Estates was won by Spain's Jon Rahm, after he followed his impressive round of 65 on day three with a 67 on Sunday to become the only multiple winner of a Rolex Series tournament this season.
Just two shots separated Rose and Fleetwood going into Sunday's showdown, after both players posted near-perfect third-round 65s on Saturday, and it was Fleetwood who gained some early momentum as he birdied the first.
He then looked erratic, however, as five bogeys opened the door for Rose.
"It's amazing. You start the season in November/December and you are watching the last shot of the season to see who wins. It's very special," said Fleetwood.
"I didn't play how I wanted to today. It wasn't pretty."
Rahm's five-under-par final round saw the Spaniard capitalise on Rose's late slip, with Thailand's Kiradech Aphibarnrat and Ireland's Shane Lowry - whose brilliant final round of 63 was his lowest round score since 2011 - tied second.
Australians Andrew Dodt and Scott Hend finished tied 36th and 48th respectively.
Hend was one shot off the lead after firing an opening-round 66 featuring seven birdies on Thursday but failed to capitalise on his start.
