Caterham Cars
Caterham Cars
The Seven is the original British lightweight sportscar. Originally created by Colin Chapman and launched as the Lotus 7 in 1957, the car embodies the Chapman design ethos of ‘adding lightness.’ The low mass of the car makes it inherently agile, gives startling performance and, most of all, imbues the driving experience with its unparalleled sense of purity, control and reward. It is, quite simply, a motoring icon.
Caterham Cars has been selling the Seven since the late 1950’s. In 1973, Caterham purchased the rights to manufacture the car from Lotus, and has been building and selling it ever since. Over the decades Caterham have continued to refine and enhance the design, whilst always respecting the brilliance of the original formula.
Motorsport is at the heart of the Seven and it is the original 'race car for the road.' The car was designated "too fast to race" by the authorities in the 1970’s due to its overwhelming superiority over its rivals, and was banned from competition. This inspired Caterham to pioneer one-make racing with strict regulations to minimise cost and produce close, exciting racing.

Brilliant Piece of Engineering
From:
World's oldest computer recreated in Lego
It's the oldest known computer, a relic dating back 2000 years and rediscovered at the bottom of the ocean. Now designer Andrew Carol has brought it back to life - using Lego.
That's not to say this project was child's play - making the device was an engineering feat that required specialist Lego, and a lot of patience (see stop motion video above).
The idea came from journalist Adam Rutherford who had seen a Babbage Difference Engine built by Carol and got in touch. "I asked him if he'd heard of the mechanism, and if he thought it was doable in Lego," says Rutherford. "A few weeks later, he sent me some pictures of a demo version he'd knocked up. It was stunning."
The Antikythera mechanism is an astronomical computer thought to have been built in 150BC. It was rediscovered on the Antikythera shipwreck in 1900 and has since astounded researchers by its mechanical complexity. It's been recreated numerous times, but to the best of our knowledge, this is the first time a working replica has been made from Lego. "We recreated a 1st century BC computer out of the best toy humankind has ever invented," Rutherford says.

The History of Westfield
In the spring of 1982 historic grand prix competitor and engineer, Chris Smith decided to design and build a replica of one of his all-time favourite race cars, the gorgeous 1956 Lotus XI Le Mans car. Such was the accuracy and beauty of the car he produced in his home garage at Westfield House, Armitage he was immediately inundated with requests from enthusiasts wanting one for themselves.
By the following Easter in 1983 the company Westfield Sportscars had been created. Further demand for the new Westfield XI replica kit meant bigger premises and staff were required and the fledgling sportscar company was under way.
After the introduction of a new car, the equally well received Westfield 7SE, a decision was taken to fade out the XI allowing the team to concentrate on production of the new kit. The company continued expanding rapidly to cope with ever growing demand, which became even stronger after the bodywork was redesigned and modernised. Westfield were now firmly established.
In 1991, Westfield expanded again moving to the impressive factory and office block in Kingswinford where we are still manufacturing today. It was here that the incredible V8-powered S Eight first caused the earth to shake. With monster power and an incredible 0-60mph time of 3.6 seconds it was Westfield's fastest machine thus far and received critical acclaim from the motoring press.
It would be hard to follow a car like that but Westfield went on to become one of the first car manufacturers to harness bike power. The small, but very powerful, high revving machines enabled incredible feats of speed, agility and offered fantastic performance at a low price.
In December 2006 ownership of Westfield Sportscars transferred to Potenza Sports Cars, a family company with a strong vision: To be the first choice sportscar provider and one of the world's most admired niche vehicle manufacturers.
September 2010 saw the landmark announcement of a Joint Venture Partnership being created in Malaysia with DRB-HICOM – Malaysia's largest vehicle manufacturer. The partnership will enable the design and development of new eco-friendly niche vehicles for the global marketplace. Westfield has sold over 12,000 cars worldwide since 1983 and currently produces over 400 cars a year for driving enthusiasts the world over.

Research on Aging: Well-Being and Aging
What is well-being and how is it measured? How can we increase our happiness and fulfillment in life especially as we age? Well-being is now a field of serious scientific inquiry. Join expert Colin Depp, PhD, as he sheds light on this topic that impacts us all. Series: Sam and Rose Stein Institute for Research on Aging
Cambridge researcher Aubrey de Grey argues that aging is merely a disease -- and a curable one at that. Humans age in seven basic ways, he says, all of which can be averted.
Aubrey de Grey, Chief Science Officer, SENS Foundation, speaks about the future of regenerative medicine and human longevity. Filmed during the 2009 Graduate Summer Program at Singularity University.
Aubrey de Grey, British researcher on aging, claims he has drawn a roadmap to defeat biological aging. He provocatively proposes that the first human beings who will live to 1,000 years old have already been born.
A true maverick, Aubrey de Grey challenges the most basic assumption underlying the human condition -- that aging is inevitable. He argues instead that aging is a disease -- one that can be cured if it's approached as "an engineering problem." His plan calls for identifying all the components that cause human tissue to age, and designing remedies for each of them — forestalling disease and eventually pushing back death. He calls the approach Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence (SENS).
With his astonishingly long beard, wiry frame and penchant for bold and cutting proclamations, de Grey is a magnet for controversy. A computer scientist, self-taught biogerontologist and researcher, he has co-authored journal articles with some of the most respected scientists in the field.
But the scientific community doesn't know what to make of him. In July 2005, the MIT Technology Review challenged scientists to disprove de Grey's claims, offering a $20,000 prize (half the prize money was put up by de Grey's Methuselah Foundation) to any molecular biologist who could demonstrate that "SENS is so wrong that it is unworthy of learned debate."
The challenge remains open; the judging panel includes TEDsters Craig Venter and Nathan Myhrvold. It seems that "SENS exists in a middle ground of yet-to-be-tested ideas that some people may find intriguing but which others are free to doubt," MIT's judges wrote. And while they "don't compel the assent of many knowledgeable scientists," they're also "not demonstrably wrong."
"Aubrey de Grey is a man of ideas, and he has set himself toward the goal of transforming the basis of what it means to be human."

The Baiyoke Tower II, Bangkok
At 304 metres (997 ft), the Baiyoke Tower II is the tallest building in Thailand. It contains the Baiyoke Sky Hotel, the tallest hotel in South-east Asia and the fourth-tallest all-hotel structure in the world, with 673 guest rooms occupying floors 22 to 74.
Name: The Baiyoke Tower II
Location: 222 Rajprarop Road, Rajthevee, Bangkok 10400, Thailand
The Baiyoke Tower II, located on 222 Rajprarop Road, in the Rajthevee district of Bangkok, is the tallest building in Thailand. It contains the Baiyoke Sky Hotel, the tallest hotel in South-east Asia and the fourth-tallest all-hotel structure in the world, with 673 guest rooms occupying floors 22 to 74.
The building is 304 m (997 ft) tall, or 328 m (1,076 ft) tall if its antenna is included. This is no mean engineering feat, considering that much of Bangkok lies on soft marine clay. It has 85 floors, with a public Observation Deck, a bar called "Roof Top Bar & Music Lounge" on the 83rd floor, and a 360-degree Revolving View Point on the 84th floor. Construction of the building took eight years and was completed in 1997, with the 24-m antenna being added two years later, in 1999.
Baiyoke Tower II is the first building in Bangkok to rise taller than 300 m. Its development followed the success of its precursor, the 44-storey Baiyoke Tower. Baiyoke Tower II is one of the first high-rise buildings in Bangkok which utilises high-strength concrete for construction. It was also, at the time completion, the world's tallest reinforced concrete structure.
The Observation Deck on the 77th floor provides a spectacular view of Bangkok and beyond the metropolis, up to the Gulf of Thailand. Maps, computerized multimedia kiosks and coin-activated telescopes help you identify what lies 250 metres down below your feet. The Observation Deck is open daily all year around from 10.30 am to 10 pm.
For the more adventurous, the Revolving View Point located on the highest floor of the building, offers a challenging open-air, 360-degree revolving view of the surrounding landscape. Opening hours are 10.30 am to 10.30 pm Mondays to Fridays and 10 am to 10.30 pm on weekends.
In January 2002, five Norwegian skydivers set an interesting world record by base jumping from the 81st floor of the Baiyoke Tower II and landing on the rooftop of the Indra Regent hotel nearby.

Siam Cultural Park, Ratchaburi
The Siam Cultural Park in the Bang Phae district of Ratchaburi Province, about 80 kilometres west of Bangkok, is one the most unique of the province's tourist attractions. Occupying some 16.5 acres, it brings under one roof the cultural values, traditions, and customs native to the four regions of Thailand that uniquely define the Thai way of life.
Operating since 1997, the park —with a wealth of cultural, historical and religious attractions—has a Hall of Fame that features life-size wax and fibreglass statues of famous national and foreign personalities, as well as statues of Lord Buddha and his disciplines set amidst a beautifully landscaped garden and tranquil environment.
This is an unspoiled natural park where visitors can learn art and culture and find peace and tranquility. The owner of the Siam Cultural Park, Madam Ratana Sirirornleart, says the park is a destination for educational tourism not just for schoolchildren, but for anyone who wants to understand Thai culture and history. There is a small nominal entrance charge to cover the maintenance and salary of the staff.
The Hall of Fame houses 10 wax figures of prominent personalities such as Dr Puey Ungphakorn, Ajarn Montree Tramoth, Ho Chi Minh and Mother Teresa - all presented in their customary work settings and in air-conditioned rooms. The workmanship is perfect and every figure had an eerie resemblance to the person it portrayed, the effect accentuated by the matching setting in which they operated in their lifetime.
Set in the landscaped gardens, a short distance from the Hall of Fame, are three giant statues of Buddha, each 3.5 metres tall and crafted from smoked brass representing the art form of the Chiang Saen, Sukhothai and Ayuthaya periods, regarded as the golden age of Thai history. To the casual eye they all appear the same, but if you observe them closely there is no mistaking they represent a smiling Buddha, symbolising the sign of the times.
Next, is a light and sound presentation depicting the story of Vessantara, the reincarnation of Buddha in his previous life, when he was confronted by a malicious Jujaka, who begged him for possession of his children. This particular depiction was selected because it teaches one to be self-content and rid ourself of all worldly attachments.
Another section of the park was dedicated to prominent former monks from four regions of the country, their images cast in fibreglass and set in distinctive kuti or remote abodes connected by a ladder, all replicated from their original kuti. A number of visitors were seen prostrating before the images as a show of respect. Every kuti was connected by a PA system briefing visitors about its occupant and his life's work. And there was a hall featuring life-size wax statues of five monks regarded as exponents of the highest order of dhamma and Buddhism.
From there we moved on to the lifestyle and houses section, the final part of our park tour. The distinctive architectural styles of the houses blend harmoniously with the social and cultural ambience of the region they represent. The houses have wax models of the occupants, each telling the way of life of the people.
The house from the central region is much admired for its sheer style and architecture, influenced in part by religion and the people's belief in the supernatural. It is a simple wooden house with no partitions or bedrooms. No nails or metal were used in its construction, even at the joints, which makes it all the more unique.
Thus, the Siam Cultural Park is a monument to everything Thai and their national identity.

The Thai Loy Krathong Festival
Of all Thai festivities, none is so enchanting as Loy Krathong. It is celebrated annually throughout Thailand on the evening of the full moon of the 12th month in the traditional Thai lunar calendar. In the western calendar this usually falls on the last full moon in November, just after the end of the rainy season, when the sky is clear and the water level in the river is high.
"Loy" means "to float" and a "krathong" is a decorative object traditionally made from a section of banana stem as the base. It is a tiny vessel that carries people's aspirations and floats away their sorrows. Usually quite small, about 20 cm in diameter, they are traditionally decorated with banana leaves and flowers. The banana leaves are cut into pieces, folded and pinned around the circular base, onto which are laid flowers (especially orchids), and into which are stuck a candle and three joss sticks. A low denomination coin is sometimes included as an offering to the river spirits.
Modern krathongs are also made of bread. There was a time, in recent years, when krathongs were made of Styrofoam, but the use of this synthetic material is now strongly discouraged by environmentalists and the authorities. A bread krathong will disintegrate in a few days and be eaten by fish and other river animals. The traditional banana stem krathongs are also biodegradable, but Styrofoam krathongs are frowned on, since they are polluting.
Under the full moon, people from all walks of life converge any convenient stretch of running water—canals, rivers and the sea—to launch their krathongs. It is a tranquil moment as the placid devotees, bathed in warm golden candlelight, go to the water's edge, light the candle and incense, and raise the krathong slightly above their heads in supplication and to make their wish. Then comes the release. Kneeling and leaning forward, they place the krathong gently on the water, and give it a little push to help it on its way. Traditionally, the wish-maker watches until the candle flame has floated out of sight or is lost amongst all the others.
To this day, similar customs exist in neighbouring Burma, Laos and Cambodia, and it seems likely that the festival us derived from a Hindu cultural tradition in honour of the god Vishnu. Others believe the festival to originate in an ancient practice of paying respects to the water spirits. Whatever its origins, the custom gained a particular beauty and popularity in the hands of the Thais, who have a much-loved legend about its origins.
Many Thais say it originated in Sukhothai, the first true Thai kingdom, established in 1238 AD in the north of present-day Thailand. Nang Noppamas was a royal consort of the 14th century Sukothai king Loethai and she was the first to float a decorated raft. She was renown for her beauty and skill in devising ways to please the monarch. One evening, as legend has it, as the royal entourage was gliding down the river to watch the full moon celebrations on the banks, she presented her latest novelty: a little boat in the shape of a lots blossom, made of deftly folded banana leaves, with incense sticks and a candle burning in the centre. From then on, the ladies of the court vied to see who could produce the most elaborate krathong, going far beyond the simple banana-leaf creation of Nang Noppamas. The krathong, it is said, soon ceased to be a purely aristocratic amusement and became widespread among the people.
The act of floating away the krathong is symbolic of letting go of all one's grudges, anger and defilements, so that one can start life afresh on a clean footing. People will also cut their fingernails and hair and add them to the krathong as a symbol of letting go of the bad parts of oneself. Many Thais believe that floating a krathong will bring good luck, and they do it to honour and thank the Goddess of Water, Phra Mae Khongkha.
Today, having lesser religious significance, the Loy Krathong festival is simply a time to have fun. Krathong competitions exist on a scale unimaginable in previous times and the festivities are exuberantly inventive, full of merriment and madness, including fireworks displays and musical mayhem. Governmental departments, corporations and other organizations usually sponsor big decorated rice barges on the river. There are also local and officially organised competitions, where the beauty and craftsmanship of these highly decorated rices barges are judged.
In addition, there are also beauty contests during the celebration of the festival in public parks, usually along the riverbanks. Not unexpectedly, the beauty contests that accompany the Loy Krathong festival are known as Noppamas Queen Contests, a fitting tribute to the festival’s Thai origins.

Beware of Kingsbury International
Yesterday, I received a cold call (014-728 8251) and text messages (012-266 8749) from some Indian woman who calls herself Fasha.
She tried to invite me to some investment presentation. From what little she told me, it sounded like land banking. I didn't like her high pressure way of selling and hung up.
I googled "Kingsbury International" and found out a few suspicious facts about the company. Their Kingsbury International official website lists their HQ address as in Kuala Lumpur, even though they're trying to flog land in Texas. A number of people have written negatively of the company, one even calling them Penipu Besar. Need I say more?

Bangkok Puppet Show at the Aksra Theatre
The puppet show at the Aksra Theatre is definitely one of Bangkok’s must-see attractions. Taking place on an elaborate stage, folk tales are told through the classic art of puppetry. Rather than being hidden away, the puppeteers are very much part of the show. Their graceful movements form a delightful dance that is an integral part of the rich cultural performance. Three puppeteers control the legs, arms and head of each puppet. Dressed in black, they blend into the background while the colourful puppets spring to life. Both the puppets and puppeteers dance along in synch with the live orchestra, featuring a combination of traditional Thai and European musical instruments. The puppeteers’ dance movements also include loud stamping of the feet in tune with the traditional music.
As the curtains open, the audience is amazed by the grandiose set design; a magnificent display of beauty and skilled craftsmanship, transporting you to a different world. The puppeteers begin with a dance on the stage in couples or groups of three, manipulating beautiful puppets to life. Just under a metre in height, the puppets are dressed in stunningly colourful classical costumes. Some represent human characters, while others portray mythical creatures from Thai folklore. Together with stage technique and classical dance, the elaborate scenes tell stories taken from the Ramayana epic and Thai folk dances. Each performance comes with a different set design.
Some feature only live actors, like the ‘cock fight dance’ – a particular crowd pleaser. Beautifully choreographed, dancers dressed in colourful garb representing roosters perform this old-time traditional Thai sport.
A segment of the night's performance demonstrates traditional Thai martial arts scenes. While two performers fight with swords at one end of the stage, another two are engaged in traditional stick-fighting at the opposite end. This martial arts segment of the show also includes a muay thai (Thai kick-boxing) performance.
The show ends with a mix of musical and dance performances from the central and northeast regions of Thailand. With a temple fair theme as background, 30 puppeteers manning 10 puppets give a spectacular finale that is sure to lift the spirits and provides a fantastic ending to a rich and entertaining presentation of one of Thailand’s most revered art forms.
After the hour-long show, the performers come down from the stage and mingle with the audience, allowing the puppets to be photographed. The puppets play some cheeky antics with the audience, driving them to shrieks of laughter and hysterics.
Playing host to this amazing puppet show is a medium-sized theatre with 600 seats. The Aksra Theatre is lavishly decorated in an over-the-top theme inspired by traditional Thai art and craftsmanship. Outside, a pair of giant mythical creatures from Thai folklore hold a long golden arch welcoming guests. The Hall of Fame is a palatial-like foyer area with imposing, 14-metre high ceilings, elaborate puppet displays and sandstone sculptures of characters from Thai folktales. Traditional paintings and wooden carvings adorn the walls and the ceiling of the theatre. The ceiling represents the seven stages of heaven, and the walls are covered with gilded carvings of dancing angels. Aksra Th

Amphawa Floating Market, Thailand
Amphawa is a district of Samut Songkhram Province, located slightly inland at the northwestern tip of the Bay of Bangkok in Central Thailand. The Mae Klong River flows through the northern part of Amphawa. In the Ayutthaya period, the area of Amphawa was known as Khwaeng Bang Chang, a small agricultural and commercial community.
Talat Nam Yam Yen Amphawa is an afternoon floating market by the canal near Wat Amphawan Chetiyaram. On Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, between 12.00 noon and 8.00 pm, the Amphawa Canal is occupied by vendors who pack their boats with food and drinks, such as grilled fish, mussels, squids, prawns, scallops and satay as well as noodles, O-liang (iced black coffee), cakes and sweets, and etc.
With its romantic atmosphere, it is no surprise that Amphawa is a favourite weekend get-away for lovers.
There are also things for sale in the shops along the bank. Visitors can enjoy a cosy atmosphere and music broadcast by members of the local community, explore the market, enjoy a meal, and hire a boat to see fireflies after dusk.

The colour concept for the Prima apartment is pine and black so the colour of the furniture will naturally reflect this. However, to break the monotony and provide a central focal point, the only major piece of furniture not in this colour scheme is the burgundy full leather 2+1 Fella Design sofa set. The burgundy mild steel double decker beds for the two smaller bedrooms also reflect this concept. I've put a 4-poster pine Queen size bed with Queen size mattress in the master bedroom.
Ideal for professionals with transport ~ a bit too far to walk to ERL station in AsiaAir or FireFly uniform and high heels.

Ibrahim Hussein (1936-2009)
I was very saddened to hear of the passing my artist friend, Ib.
Its not commonly known that Ib was blind in his right eye, due to a childhood accident with a dart. This makes his prowess as an artist even more of an achievement. Without the benefit of binocular stereo-vision, perspective become a very challenging issue. He obviated this potential handicap by working with techniques that didn't rely on perspective ~ particularly freeform contour lines. For this reason, he tended to avoid painting portraits, and so, on the rare occasions that he did accept portrait commissions, the results, lacking perspective, were not particularly flattering for the subject.
I think his magnus opus is Dance of Life (see detail, above) which displays his "contour lines" technique.
Ib had an irreverent and cheeky sense of humour. For the catalogue of an exhibition at the US Embassy curated by Yeoh Jin Leng, of works by leading Malaysian artists who had studied in the US, he had submitted just two words: "Big Deal!" for his entry in the catalogue. Not wanting to embarrass the American hosts, his entry was reduced to: "Big!" He was greatly amused by this censorship.
One of his paintings using the "contour lines" technique depicts a male and a female form entwined in orgasmic ecstasy. When I asked Ib why he had called the painting "Arrival," he asked me for another word that means "arrival." We burst out laughing when I realised it was a play on "coming"!

Our Future: 2009 & After
The solution to all this is the simple central message in THE ART OF HAPPINESS by The Dalai Lama ~ fulfill your needs, not your wants.
AN EXAMPLE
All humans need hydration, best fulfilled by plain water ~ yet the doctrine of consumerism insists we purchase from a whole host of unwanted products from Coca-Cola to Lipton to Starbucks to Carlsberg to Dom Perignon.
Unless you're a baby, in which case milk is a sensible drink (even then, breast milk is free), there is no nutritional need for you to drink anything but plain water. Everything else is a want, all unwarranted by your body's needs but insisted upon by consumerism.
It then comes as no surprise that post-modern man suffers a host of diseases unknown to our forefathers ~ we have been feeding our bodies with preservatives, food enhancers, colouring, conditioners and other gunk and junk (all processed meat, including sausages, contain sodium nitrate, for example).
One in four people will contract some form of cancer within their lifetime. Pancreatic cancer is the fourth largest killer among cancers yet no progress had been made towards finding a cure since the 1930s. It would not take too much funding to get this cancer licked, not too much compared to the huge amounts we spend on things we want, rather than need.
Please do a big favour to yourself and to the rest of humanity: spend a few minutes listing down the things you purchase as a result of thinking it is something you want, rather than fulfilling an actual physiological, nutritional or emotional need. Then promise yourself never to purchase them again. It may be the most profound new year's resolution you'll ever make.
REMEMBER
Fulfill your needs, not your wants. The rest will follow.
