David Balfe (second right) of T Balfe Construction is picytured with Panthers trio Ged Rathbone (promoter), Trevor Swales (co-promoter) and Dale Allitt (joint team boss).
Panthers promoter Ged Rathbone hopes a major sponsorship boost from a construction firm will help him build success.
The city club have struck a five-figure deal with Lincolnshire-based T Balfe Construction to be their title backers for the 2016 campaign in the Premier League.
Rathbone said: "A sponsorship deal of this significance is a huge boost on the eve of what we hope will be another good season.
"The way the company do things is very much in line with our own approach – it's about ambition and honesty.
"It only took a matter of minutes to thrash out a deal after we were first introduced.
Rathbone thrashed out the deal with T Balfe construction director David Balfe, who also owns a car-racing team.
He is owner of Balfe Motorsport which runs a Ferrari 458 in the GT International Open Series with son, Shaun, behind the wheel.
And, after enjoying plenty of success on four wheels, he is expected plenty of thrills of the two-wheeled variety courtesy of Panthers.
Balfe said: ""It is great to be able to support Panthers and hopefully we can help them onto bigger and better things.
"The club has one hell of a set-up and they are also a very very friendly and very ambitious bunch.
"I was made aware they might be looking for sponsorship so I thought I would come down to see Ged and his management team to see what they're about.
"They made me feel hugely welcome and I felt comfortable in their company straight away.
"It is nice to be able to do a deal that should help the club while also giving us a way of marketing the fact we want to move into Peterborough business-wise.


NATO forces in June will make a long-planned assault on the Taliban�s spiritual home in the southern Afghan city of Kandahar, a senior military official said Monday.
The goal is to rid the city of Taliban forces before the Muslim holy month of Ramadan begins in August, according to the official.
U.S. officials have previously disclosed plans for a NATO-led offensive in the area this year, but have not said when it might happen.
The two-month offensive will be a major test of President Barack Obama�s new strategy in Afghanistan and a bellwether of the war in general.
The official, who was not authorized to speak publicly on the operation, discussed the operation on condition of anonymity.
As the Taliban�s governing capital prior to the U.S.-led invasion in 2001, Kandahar remains the spiritual heartland of the insurgency and a stubborn holdout in NATO�s efforts to transfer control to Afghan President Hamid Karzai.
In an effort to reverse gains made by the Taliban, Obama has ordered the deployment of 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan.
Military officials say they expect �several thousand� of those troops to be sent to Kandahar, mostly to partner with local police and provide a security presence in the region.
Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the top U.S. and NATO commander in Afghanistan, said earlier this month that the operation in Kandahar will be different from Marjah, where U.S. and Afghan forces stormed the farming town to purge Taliban forces.
Unlike the Marjah offensive, the Kandahar operation will be a rolling series of actions and won�t open with a single major offensive like World War II�s D-Day, he said.

My First Hockey Game
The Rangers make going to Madison Square Garden worth while.
Ellis Joshua, Impact Staff|February 2, 2020
It was March 2019 and I had just witnessed the Knicks get completely embarrassed, yet again. While walking out of MSG, I remember saying to myself, "Next time I go to the Garden it's going to be for a hockey game." I said it without actually knowing if it was going to happen.
Fast forward about ten months later, and sure enough, it happened. I got an invite from one of my closest friends, Eric, asking me if I was down to go to a Rangers game at the Garden. Without hesitation I said, "Hell yes!"
I'll admit, it's pretty sad that despite living only 15 minutes away from Nassau Coliseum, and being 40 minutes away from both MSG and the Barcl ays center by train, I had never been to a hockey game before that.
Hockey isn't a sport that I follow very closely, but I do tend to tune in during the playoffs and I am trying to pay more attention to it during the course of the regular season.
The game I went to featured the Rangers against one of their biggest rivals, the Devils. As I said before, I don't follow hockey too closely but I did know that the Rangers are the team that can compete for the final playoff spot, while the Devils are in complete rebuild mode and have one of the worst teams in the league.
Much like baseball, hockey is a sport where you just don't know what kind of game you're going to get. It could be offensive shootout or a defensive battle. Both are exciting in their own right, but as someone who likes seeing a lot of offense, this was the right game to go to for my first time.
We got to the Garden about an hour before the puck drop to see the players take the ice for the pregame skate. I was rather surprised with the amount of Devils fans that were in attendance, but it definitely made for a better atmosphere.
The Rangers put on an offensive clinic. Less than five minutes into the game, the Rangers got on the board and the crowd went nuts. Everyone started chanting the "Slapshot" (aka "The Rangers Goal Song).
In total, the Rangers scored three goals in the first period and the Devils scored two of their own. Considering that could have easily been the final score, I was feeling pretty lucky to be at a game with that much action in just the first period.
With the ebbs and flows of a game, I figured that the offense would cool down a bit and that the action would slow, but that didn't happen. The Rangers added another two goals in the second period and were absolutely dominating. Never did I expect to hear the "Slapshot" this many times in the game, even though the Devils were in the game, it never really felt like it. At the end of the game, the Rangers won 6-3 and Tony DeAngelo recorded his first career hat trick.
Going to a hockey game was definitely something that was on my bucket list and to have seen so many goals scored made my first game that much more exciting. I even ran into my buddy, Dan, at the game, who was rooting for the Devils, unfortunately.
It was nice to go to the Garden for once and actually see a competitive team that has put together a plan for future championships. Maybe the Knicks can learn a thing or two from the Rangers about how to have a quick rebuild.
If you've never been to a hockey game before, it's something that I highly recommend doing. Whatever you do, just don't leave your seat until there's a whistle.
Hopefully I'll be able to go to one or two more Ranger games before the season is over, but I still would like to get to the Coliseum for an Islanders game as well, while I still have the chance.

For the first time in the history of the internet, online spending by customers solely in the United States has surpassed one hundred billion dollars during the first quarter of the year.
As of right now, consumers are spending about a third of the amount of money online using their mobile devices as they are on their desktop shopping. This is a percentage that has been steadily growing over the last few years. However, this will most likely change more dramatically over the foreseeable future as consumer habits change with the times.
We are going to take a look at how this compares to the figures from past years as well as how this will truly affect mobile spending all together.
The milestone of going above one hundred billion for the first time shows a 14.1% increase over the same period last year, according to Adobe's new Digital Dollar Report.
Mobile spending was also reported as being only about one fifth of money spent compared to the amount for desktop shopping in 2014. This shows a vast improvement over previous years with it now accounting for about a third of all online shopping.
These new and exciting numbers will really be causing some changing in the world of mobile spending – let's get into the specifics.
With more and more Americans and people all over the world reaching for their mobile devices over their regular computers – desktop shopping has a lot of impending competition heading its way.
We are already seeing the effect of these growing numbers with a lot of innovation in the mobile shopping industry. Samsung Pay, for example, has actually started using camera – driven shopping searches and artificial intelligence to allow consumers to take pictures of products to find online.
These new features and innovations will most likely do a lot to influence the rising numbers we are seeing for ecommerce spending. With online retailers constantly working hard to better their systems and the choices they offer for their users, customer satisfaction rates are likely to go up with that extra initiative.
Another hint that the online spending world is gearing up for even higher numbers, is the simple fact that they reached their highest peak during a normally much slower time. Usually, the beginning of the year is considered to be a period of time when consumer habits and shopping trends change and less money is made. So, seeing that growth so early in 2018 is a fantastic sign for the future.
The future of online spending, especially on mobile devices, is looking brighter and brighter with each passing quarter. With the innovations of online retailers as well as mobile phone manufacturers, it will only continue to grow, thrive, and become as convenient and easy as possible for consumer habits.
What are you most looking forward to in the world of new online shopping features?

Tomorrow Episode 16: Release date and preview
Tomorrow Cre: MBC
Tomorrow, Episode 16, also known as the much-anticipated grand finale of Netflix's supernatural fantasy drama, will soon be released. Furthermore, the series was based on the adorable llama website of the same name. Tomorrow has gained positive attention from all over the world due to his unique style of illuminating sensitive topics. While educating the public about issues that cause mental harm to a person, it also provides relief by showing the way. The wonderful Tomorrow script was written by Park Ran, Park Ja Kyung, and Kim Yoo Jin. The drama's brilliant scenes were directed to perfection by Kim Tae Yoon (Mr. Zoo: The Missing VIP) and Sung Chi Wook (Special Labor Inspector Jo).
The plot of this intriguing drama follows Choi Joon Woong when an unfortunate accident leads him to become half-spirit and half-human. What follows is a pleasant trip to the other world, where he gets a job. Choi Joon Woong is offered a deal where if he works for six months at Jumadeong, he will wake up, and his luck will completely change for the better in the world of the living. However, this could mean the breakup of the dynamic trio that we've come to love so much. Won't Choi Joon Woong be part of the rescue management team anymore? Find out in Tomorrow Ep 16.
Tomorrow episode 16 release date
Tomorrow episode 16 will be released on May 21, 2022. We are introduced to the clumsy but charming Choi Jun Woong on April 1. Despite his good looks and hard work, Choi Jun Woong couldn't get a job no matter how hard he tried. But he puts himself in trouble when he gets involved in the work of the crisis management team. Not long after, Choi Joon Woong found himself joining the grim harvest team tasked with saving people's lives.
Fans are bitter about the ending. Although they are eager to know Choi Jun Woong's decision in Episode 16 of tomorrow, they are also afraid of the answer. Over the course of sixteen episodes, the pesky trio, aka the crisis management team of grim reapers, have made us fall in love with their antics and will have to save other lives because of the pain they've been through. Choi Joon Woong fits perfectly between the bold Im Ryung Goo and the intimidating Goo Ryun. Will he sacrifice the bright future he promised to help him? Make sure you mark the release date of Tomorrow Episode 16 in your calendars if you want to know!

What do you expect from Episode 16 tomorrow?
Fans have a lot of expectations from tomorrow's finale. The most important question of all is "Will Choi Jun Woong return to the land of the living?" The fans themselves cannot determine their reaction to the outcome. On the other hand, we want Choi Jun Woong to return to his family and live his life to the fullest. On the other hand, we want to be selfish and we want him to stay behind and work with the crisis management team. Coming to episode 16 of Tomorrow, Choi Joon Woong has proven to be an asset to the team. He is sympathetic, and is keen to find a way to help people, even if it means getting himself into trouble. Another interesting question is, what will the end of Goo Ryun and Park Joong Gil be like? Stay tuned for the series Tomorrow Ep 16!

Luca Sportelli (* 11. März 1927 in Bari; † 29. August 1999 in Rom) war ein italienischer Schauspieler.

Leben
Sportelli begann als Darsteller beim Avanspettacolo (einer Art Varieté-Kabarett-Revue-Sketch-Kombination) und in Revuenneben Erminio Macario, trat aber auch in Theaterstücken wie Il gattopardo unter Regisseur Franco Enriquez und Ma non c'è una cosa seria unter Edmo Fenoglio auf. Im Kino spielte er nach Gelegenheitsengagements seit 1967 regelmäßig, oftmals kleine Rollen in derb-komischen Filmen, wo ihn seine untersetzte Statur mit rundem, molligem Gesicht und ausgeprägter Glatze als Opfer des Hauptdarstellers prädestinierte. Später war er in Kriminalfilmen und Sexy Comedies zu sehen.

Filmografie (Auswahl)
 1968: Ciccio perdona… io no!
 1968: Im Staub der Sonne (Spara, gringo, spara)

3 Stocks With Big News Coming at ASCO 2019
Todd Campbell, The Motley Fool
Motley Fool May 15, 2019
The annual American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) meeting is fast approaching, and abstracts from companies presenting at the conference next month are set to be released at 5 p.m. later today. It's anyone's guess what the abstract data will include or how industry watchers will react to the presentations, but investors might want to focus their attention on MacroGenics (NASDAQ: MGNX), Blueprint Medicines (NASDAQ: BPMC), and Amgen (NASDAQ: AMGN). All three are expected to report data at ASCO that could move their stock prices.
Targeting late-line HER2
MacroGenics shares surged in February after it reported phase 3 trial results of margetuximab in HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer. An optimized anti-HER2 antibody, margetuximab is specially designed to elicit a stronger immune system response in HER2 patients than Herceptin, a mega-blockbuster HER2 antibody drug.
A microphone on a stand in front of an empty auditorium.
In trials, margetuximab plus chemotherapy outperformed Herceptin plus chemotherapy significantly, delivering a 24% improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) in the margetuximab arm of the study when compared to the Herceptin arm.
Roughly 85% of trial participants were carriers of CD16A (FcγRIIIa) 158F allele, a subset of patients who historically respond poorly to Herceptin. In those patients, there was a 32% improvement in PFS versus Herceptin.
The company hasn't reported any overall survival data yet, but the ASCO abstract and presentation could include it, and if it does, then good news could clear the way for a lucrative licensing deal.
MacroGenics plans to file for FDA approval based on PFS data later this year. However, European regulators want to see OS data, so a deal could be kept at bay until those results are available. During the company's latest earnings conference call, management said it's "exploring partnerships" and that it's "talking to a number of different parties that are structured in different ways and with different interests." Given those comments, any new data at ASCO could move the needle for investors.

(NYSE: LLY) acquired Loxo Oncology, a precision-medicine biotech, for $8 billion after Loxo reported intriguing data for LOXO-292, a RET inhibitor, and secured FDA approval for its TRK inhibitor, Vitrakvi. The deal catapulted Lilly to the forefront of a shift to fighting cancer based on genomics rather than the location of cancer's origin, but Lilly isn't the only company working on this approach. Blueprint Medicines is also in the hunt, and it plans to unveil data from trials involving avapritinib and BLU-667 at ASCO next month.
An inhibitor of KIT and PDGFRA, two protein kinases that can become overly active in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), avapritinib is being studied as a second-line, third-line, and fourth-line treatment. Blueprint has already reported positive fourth-line GIST data and it's announced plans to file for FDA approval in that indication later this year. A good showing at ASCO could increase confidence avapritinib will succeed in earlier stages someday, too, opening a larger commercial opportunity for the company.
At ASCO, investors will also get updated data on BLU-667, a RET inhibitor that's racing against LOXO-292 to the finish line. In March, Blueprint Medicines said the overall response rate in RET-fusion non-small cell lung cancer was 62% and the ORR in RET-mutant medullary thyroid cancer was 63%. If additional data is also competitive to LOXO-292, it would add conviction to management's plan to file for FDA approval in early 2020.
The next class of cancer drugs
Unlike MacroGenics and Blueprint Medicines, Amgen is a proven biotech bellwether. The company generates over $5 billion per quarter in revenue from a host of products, including a slate of cancer drugs that contributed $1.2 billion in sales to its top line in the first quarter.
Amgen hopes to solidify its standing as a leading oncology player by presenting data at ASCO on its bispecific T cell engager (BiTE) drugs. Bispecifics may improve the immune system's ability to find and destroy cancer by binding to both a target and a T cell.
At ASCO, Amgen will discuss AMG 420, a drug targeting BCMA, a protein expressed by multiple myeloma cancer cells. Last year, management said that five heavily pretreated multiple myeloma patients had a complete response to AMG 420. If updated data at ASCO is anywhere near that good, then this drug could someday revolutionize late-line treatment.
Data on AMG 212, a BiTE targeting a commonly expressed antigen in prostate tumors, is also expected at ASCO. AMG 212 is licensed to Bayer, but results could boost interest in AMG 160, a wholly owned drug Amgen has in development that works similarly.
Finally, management will provide its first look at data for AMG 510. Although AMG 510 isn't a BiTE drug, it's highly anticipated because it targets KRAS G12C, a mutation occurring in 14% of lung adenocarcinomas and about 4% of colon cancers.
Overall, all three companies could pop or drop substantially based upon their ASCO data, so these are high-risk stocks best left to aggressive investors. If you're one of those risk-tolerant investors, then you'll want to pay close attention to the abstracts released today and the takeaways exiting ASCO, which runs from May 31 to June 4, 2019.

True Floyd Fan
Posted by d on 1999-03-29 22:02:58
This is partially in response to the person wondering why the Division Bell was bashed. True fans of Pink Floyd don't much like the album not only because it is a new style of music for them, but it is roger water-less. Roger Waters is the foundation of the band, and his departure caused many to stop buying Floyd. Waters was the song writer of nearly every song after Sid left. Don't get me wrong, I love David Gilmour and I appreciate the symboloc sounds of the Division Bell...but it's just not quite the same. I think many other true Floydians would agree with me...

Roger Waters was a genius but, he decided to leave and do his own stuff. I appreciate Gilmour for having enough balls to carry on. Division Bell was an excellent CD and High Hopes kicked! I was disappointed in some of Water's stuff after Floyd. Amused To Death seemed fairly decent though. However, FLoyd may not be the same without Roger, they'll always be the greatest!!

What Is a Vasectomy: The Most Common Misconceptions About the Procedure
All the things You Must Know About Vasectomies
"A whole lot of my sufferers suppose they're really going to be castrated," exclaims Jasmine Patel, assistant scientific professor of obstetrics and gynecology on the College of California Irvine. "I actually don't know the place such an thought comes from — I assume it's rumour, from speaking to misinformed buddies. Worry breeds concern. Maybe that's why males who discuss to different males who've really had a vasectomy usually tend to have one themselves. They've a more true thought of what vasectomies are about."
RELATED: Best Male Fertility Test Kits
What Is a Vasectomy?
For these nonetheless puzzled, a vasectomy —- typically known as 'the snip' — is a minor surgical process that cuts out, ties or seals the tubes that carry a person's sperm. It's an excellent dependable type of contraception for any man who doesn't need youngsters or, extra sometimes, has had sufficient. It doesn't have the side-effects related to chemical intervention — as with oral contraceptives taken by girls, or the overall anesthesia and invasive surgical procedure required of the sterilization process for a girl. It doesn't require the common upkeep of an intrauterine machine, once more inevitably left to the lady. It additionally doesn't require donning a condom and hoping it survives the journey. No one has to recollect to do something. It's executed. You're able to roll.
Why Are Males Reluctant to Have a Vasectomy?
Why is there such a reluctance amongst males — in secure, long-term relationships, who've youngsters — to have a vasectomy? Greater than 500,000 males within the US have had a vasectomy, but this represents solely 5 p.c of all married males of reproductive age. And that's uncommon. Go to Bhutan and the speed is round 40 p.c. In New Zealand it's 25 p.c. One other report, from the UN, means that only one in 10 males within the US get a vasectomy, half the speed in Canada or the UK. Within the US, feminine sterilization is twice that of vasectomy, even though the latter is simply as efficient and a complete lot less complicated. So why the imbalance?
Patel argues that there's a wider societal problem within the burden of contraception nonetheless sometimes falling on girls (and particularly in long-term relationships). Males are sometimes avoidant of docs and drugs at the perfect of instances, knocking actively pursuing surgical procedure effectively down their record of priorities. And this avoidance in flip appears to replicate the truth that many males — not like girls, who've to return to phrases with menstruation and being pregnant — simply aren't au fait with the workings of their very own our bodies, and their reproductive system particularly.
Petar Bajic, assistant professor of urology on the Case Western Reserve College and a urologist on the Heart for Males's Well being on the Glickman Urological and Kidney Institute in Cleveland, Ohio, argues that there's probably some evolutionary drive to guard our genitals. "It's not simply that some males have this notion of not wanting something of their physique altered — which is a double commonplace after all, in the event that they make the identical expectation of their associate," he says. "It's that the genitals are an space we actually don't prefer to be messed with."
"Males don't like the concept of getting a pointy instrument there," provides Patel. "However males particularly appear to have all these misconceptions about what a vasectomy entails."
What Are Some Widespread Misconceptions Round Vasectomies?
What are the most typical misconceptions? That, as an example, it impacts your capacity to get an erection or have an orgasm. Improper. That it impacts your libido and/or your testosterone ranges. Improper. Its effectiveness as a type of contraception isn't that good anyway. With only a 1 in 2000 probability of failure, that too is mistaken. That potential issues are many and critical — after they're really minor and really uncommon. That it's an invasive, painful process requiring common anesthesia —- mistaken, with lower than 5 p.c of operations requiring any greater than native anesthesia — for which you'll want weeks off work. Your volleyball group could also be lacking your expertise for a few weeks, however you possibly can be again at work the subsequent day. "I remind sufferers to think about simply how rather more painful giving start is," says Bajic, "and that normally units them proper."
Within the US, the place medical health insurance is a consideration, insurers are typically positively captivated with protecting vasectomy as a result of, massive image, that's cheaper than the potential value of extra youngsters.
And, it appears, American males particularly are hampered by these misunderstandings, if not at all solely: the identical reluctance to tackle vasectomy as a method of contraception is discovered too in, for instance, India. There solely 7 p.c of sterilization procedures in 2018 had been vasectomies — a product maybe of household planning nonetheless being extensively perceived as girl's work. Oh, and the truth that 6.2 million males had been sterilized by power in India all through the Nineteen Seventies. In India, the place well being schooling isn't as superior as it's within the US, the misconceptions go additional too — that vasectomies can alter a person's gait, or his power or his voice, or anything he holds on to as characteristically male. All mistaken.
The suggestion is that there's something cultural at play, broadly within the sense that the vasectomy is simply not as a lot a part of the contraception dialog because it must be — Patel suggests there's an awesome want within the US for schooling, advocacy and an acceptance that males too need to play their half in contraception measures. However, it's additionally cultural within the sense that, as Bajic has it, there's extra of a "have to really feel macho that, because of the misconceptions, the concept of vasectomy works towards. It's as if vasectomy is akin to some type of neutering."
"I feel there's a fearfulness that after a vasectomy they are going to now not be 'a person', in some sense, and that they are going to be giving up their manhood," agrees Patel, "when really getting a vasectomy and making that type of dedication is an expression of affection."
In fact, that's what my spouse instructed me as she ushered me into the working theater. However, in all seriousness, what's having a vasectomy actually like? Remarkably prosaic really. Certainly, essentially the most awkward facet was having not simply the surgeon do their factor, however the two theater assistants nonetheless milling round chatting about final night time's TV. I solely needed to be undressed from the waist down, obtained an area anesthetic and, other than having one's manhood considerably man-handled, felt nothing untoward. The entire course of, from undressing to re-dressing, took not more than half-hour. Driving your self residence after this surgical procedure isn't beneficial, so my spouse — and, exactly why I used to be there within the first place, my two toddler boys — had been there to gather me. Frankly, the entire thing was disappointingly pedestrian. Any man inclined to taking to mattress on the first signal of a sniffle can have little excuse to work with right here.
How Lengthy Is the Restoration Interval After a Vasectomy?
Inevitably the subsequent couple of days are tender ones, akin to the after-glow of getting just lately been kicked within the balls. However that fades quickly sufficient and — whereas ache is a subjective expertise — all that's left then is the bruising, a bit swelling and that tingle related to the therapeutic of a minor wound, sufficient to maintain me from the fitness center for just a few days however that's about all, although some males report a spell of extra 'power' scrotal ache. The stitches dissolved and no discernible scarring was evident. The need to leap again into mattress took a bit time to energy up — and never with no little anxiousness — however there was, as, so to talk, no lack of perform.
Not that you are able to do with out different types of contraception simply but — as soon as therapeutic is full, the method has you submit a semen pattern some three months later simply to verify that sperm content material has been efficiently curtailed. It's definitely worth the wait. The profit to any couple's intercourse life, I'd wager, is immeasurable. Neither of you has to consider safety ever once more. That's liberating. It's horny. Certainly, a vasectomy is the kindest minimize.
Is a Vasectomy Everlasting?
A vasectomy is designed to be everlasting. That's why the overwhelming majority of males who've a vasectomy have already got youngsters, and are fairly certain about their and their associate's want to not have any extra. Nevertheless, Bajic explains {that a} vasectomy is technically reversible — round 6 p.c of American males search one — although the process is rather more sophisticated and sometimes not lined by insurance coverage and never assured: chances are you'll undergo a reversal and nonetheless not have the ability to have youngsters. In line with a 2020 examine, solely 33% of companions of youthful males and 25% of older males later impregnated their associate.

Art sales hit R250m mark
By Edward Tsumele - 06 December 2010 - 09:41
OVER the past year the art market witnessed a comeback, with bestselling artists and art collectors earning good money.
The art market in 2008 stood at R200million, growing to R240million last year - meaning it was not affected by the recession when most sectors were. Chances are this year has so far been the best in terms of art deals. At the time of writing I could not verify the deals sealed this year.
But the biggest surprise for me was that the biggest sellers were Afrikaans artists - and so are the buyers, eclipsing the traditional Jewish market.
This is a newl trends in the country where both artists and art collectors are traditional dominated by Jews.
Art deals involving the emerging black middle class are negligible.
Blacks spend money elsewhere rather than on art, according to art collector and expert Stephan Welz.
The latter's word in art circles is final.
This is also the impression I got when I recently attended an art talk organised by Absa, which has the biggest collection of art in the country.
This talk made me to think beyond these glaring and interesting facts.
I realised that the world of art is often alien to those of us who are struggling.
Unfortunately, this makes art the preserve of those who are privileged to have received a liberal education at prestigious institutions of higher learning.
But this does not mean that people who are not beneficiaries of such a prestigious education, or are not born of parents who were educated at such institutions, can't appreciate a piece of painting when they see one during a good opera performance.
It also does not mean that they will not understand a good theatre production at some of the leading theatre venues in the country.
But the reality is that they often don't and it's not just because they are incapable of enjoying the experience. For being human means they can connect to human stories told through paintings, drawings, singing and even through the printed word.
But why are they excluded?
Nobody prevents a poor person from going to the theatre. I have never witnessed poor people being turned away from attending Pieter Hugo's exhibition of his photography, nor that of David Goldblatt.
In fact, the poor would probably connect more easily with the exhibition because artists, for some reason, love to tell stories about the poor - ironically to the rich.
How often have you been to an art exhibition, seen the poor sipping wine and munching on cheese, enjoying the exhibition with the rest of the middle-class audience that often patronise such events?
The problem is that poor people are too busy struggling to survive because going to these exhibitions does not pay their bills.
The irony is that such exhibitions are essentially about their lives paraded to satisfy the rich people's consumptive and intellectual instincts.
Also, not enough is being done to educate poor communities about art and the fact that it's not about the rich.
We simply don't know our art icons and celebrities, yet these people are are celebrated everywhere in the world except at home.
Their works adorn the walls and homes of many wealthy people in Europe, and now increasingly the Indian and Chinese art markets.
Art auctioneer Welz says the Chinese and Indian art markets are the flavour of the moment, where art collectors, mostly Europeans , sell their collections.
These are big boys in the art world who know that art is actually an investment. And because of this, our top artists, such as William Kentridge, Marlene Dumas, Zwelethu Mthethwa, Gerard Sekoto and Goldblatt, among others, are selling handsomely overseas.
In the process they deny their owen country the privilege of owning their art works. Those who own art works by Sekoto, Mthethwa or a Kentridge, for example, are lured by the prospects of earning good bucks from their collection.
So what do they do? They sell overseas.

The non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs mefenamic acid (MFA) and tolfenamic acid (TFA) have a close resemblance in their molecular scaffold, whereby a methyl group in MFA is substituted by a chloro group in TFA. The present study demonstrates the isomorphous nature of these compounds in a series of their multicomponent solids. Furthermore, the unique nature of MFA and TFA has been demonstrated while excavating their alternate solid forms in that, by varying the drug (MFA or TFA) to coformer [4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP)] stoichiometric ratio, both drugs have produced three different types of multicomponent crystals, viz. salt (1:1; API to coformer ratio), salt hydrate (1:1:1) and cocrystal salt (2:1). Interestingly, as anticipated from the close similarity of TFA and MFA structures, these multicomponent solids have shown an isomorphous relation. A thorough characterization and structural investigation of the new multicomponent forms of MFA and TFA revealed their similarity in terms of space group and structural packing with isomorphic nature among the pairs. Herein, the experimental results are generalized in a broader perspective for predictably identifying any possible new forms of comparable compounds by mapping their crystal structure landscapes. The utility of such an approach is evident from the identification of polymorph VI of TFA from hetero-seeding with isomorphous MFA form I from acetone–methanol (1:1) solution. That aside, a pseudopolymorph of TFA with dimethylformamide (DMF) was obtained, which also has some structural similarity to that of the solvate MFA:DMF. These new isostructural pairs are discussed in the context of solid form screening using structural landscape similarity
