Chris Lawless became the first Briton to win the Tour de Yorkshire after a superb ride on the last stage to Leeds.
Lawless, racing in the blue jersey as the overnight leader, finished right behind stage winner Greg van Avermaet to secure a debut win for Team Ineos.
Wigan's Lawless, 23, was immediately congratulated by team-mate Chris Froome, who orchestrated the decisive final break on Cote de Otley Chevin.
Team Ineos was only officially launched last week, replacing Team Sky.
"I can't believe it," Lawless told ITV 4. "If someone had told me I'd win this race before it started I'd have called them a liar.
"I started losing touch halfway up the Otley Chevin but I knew if I could get back on there was a climb around 5km from the finish that I could get over.
"I knew I could follow Greg van Avermaet when he went. Greg was someone I looked up to when I first started riding so to beat him is special.
"I've got to thank the team for backing me because I don't have a good history on stages like this but they said they'd give me a chance."
When asked how big a win it is for him personally, he replied: "The biggest."
Froome's tactics pay off
After 150km of racing, much of it through the picturesque Yorkshire Dales, the final stage exploded on the final categorised climb of the race - the Cote de Otley Chevin - with around 20km remaining.
With Lawless appearing to struggle, four-time Tour de France champion Froome - who was Ineos' road captain and said "decisions were made out on the road" - went on the attack and his effort forced other teams pursuing the overall victory to try to chase him down.
Froome's team-mate Eddie Dunbar had also followed the attack. He then launched his own surprise move as the riders crested the hill and quickly broke clear, chasing down and passing three French riders who were part of the day's original break.
Realising that Dunbar could go on and win the overall title, Froome disrupted the pace of the chasing pack and that, in turn, gave Lawless the chance to catch up.
Eventually, defending champion Van Avermaet, who started the day six seconds behind Lawless, had to attack and while he quickly caught Dunbar, Lawless went with him. That left the Belgian CCC rider with two Ineos riders for company and with an almost impossible task of shaking them both off.
Knowing his fate was sealed, Van Avermaet took the stage win, with Lawless happy to follow him over the line and claim the title by two seconds.
Alexander Kamp, who started the final stage on the same time as Lawless claimed that he was "the strongest rider" over the hills but the Dane failed to live up to his bold statement and was distanced on the final climb out of Otley.
France's Arnaud Courteille, who was in the day's nine-man break, was first to the top of three of the day's five categorised climbs to take the King of the Mountains title.
Stage four result:
1. Greg van Avermaet (Bel/CCC Team) 4hrs 40mins 03secs
2. Christopher Lawless (GB/Team Ineos) same time
3. Edward Dunbar (Ire/Team Ineos) +02secs

A beautiful maiden, draped in pristine white, her ebony curls cascading like silken tendrils, orchestrating a ballet with blades of grass beneath the verdant gaze of an ancient tree.
Written by Acker Bilk and orchestrated by Leon Young, this song was released in the UK in 1961 and followed in the US the next year. It reached number 1 on the charts in the US and number 2 in the UK. Described as Easy Listening, Adult Contemporary, even Jazz, I just called it schmaltz.

TT100 was launched in 1990 and is part of the Da Vinci group of companies. It is sponsored by, and run with official mandate from, the Department of Science and Technology. Eskom is the primary private sponsor while the JSE AltX is a key partner
70's Pyramid Power. This seemed an apt theme for this orchestrated 'best of'.
I was asked by the President of Malta, George Abela to work on this project to raise money for the Malta Community Chest Fund. Musical Director, Sigmund Mifsud had already chosen and orchestrated a series of rock classics pieces to be played by the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra. The Rockestra show took place on the 12th September at the MFCC. Ticket sales were expected to be around 3,000 but I am very pleased to say that they sold out at 12,000. This is the largest indoor event ever held in Malta.
The evening included pieces by Coldplay, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Bob Marley, The Eagles and John Miles, so had a strong 70’s leaning and I wanted to reflect that in the imagery.
The local artists were The Riffs, Jotham Saliba, Claire Caruana, Alex Bezzina, Raquela, Neville Refalo, Daniel Cauchi, Ruben Zahra, Paul Borg Bonaci and DJ Owen.

Chris Lawless became the first Briton to win the Tour de Yorkshire after a superb ride on the last stage to Leeds.
Lawless, racing in the blue jersey as the overnight leader, finished right behind stage winner Greg van Avermaet to secure a debut win for Team Ineos.
Wigan's Lawless, 23, was immediately congratulated by team-mate Chris Froome, who orchestrated the decisive final break on Cote de Otley Chevin.
Team Ineos was only officially launched last week, replacing Team Sky.
"I can't believe it," Lawless told ITV 4. "If someone had told me I'd win this race before it started I'd have called them a liar.
"I started losing touch halfway up the Otley Chevin but I knew if I could get back on there was a climb around 5km from the finish that I could get over.
"I knew I could follow Greg van Avermaet when he went. Greg was someone I looked up to when I first started riding so to beat him is special.
"I've got to thank the team for backing me because I don't have a good history on stages like this but they said they'd give me a chance."
When asked how big a win it is for him personally, he replied: "The biggest."
Froome's tactics pay off
After 150km of racing, much of it through the picturesque Yorkshire Dales, the final stage exploded on the final categorised climb of the race - the Cote de Otley Chevin - with around 20km remaining.
With Lawless appearing to struggle, four-time Tour de France champion Froome - who was Ineos' road captain and said "decisions were made out on the road" - went on the attack and his effort forced other teams pursuing the overall victory to try to chase him down.
Froome's team-mate Eddie Dunbar had also followed the attack. He then launched his own surprise move as the riders crested the hill and quickly broke clear, chasing down and passing three French riders who were part of the day's original break.
Realising that Dunbar could go on and win the overall title, Froome disrupted the pace of the chasing pack and that, in turn, gave Lawless the chance to catch up.
Eventually, defending champion Van Avermaet, who started the day six seconds behind Lawless, had to attack and while he quickly caught Dunbar, Lawless went with him. That left the Belgian CCC rider with two Ineos riders for company and with an almost impossible task of shaking them both off.
Knowing his fate was sealed, Van Avermaet took the stage win, with Lawless happy to follow him over the line and claim the title by two seconds.
Alexander Kamp, who started the final stage on the same time as Lawless claimed that he was "the strongest rider" over the hills but the Dane failed to live up to his bold statement and was distanced on the final climb out of Otley.
France's Arnaud Courteille, who was in the day's nine-man break, was first to the top of three of the day's five categorised climbs to take the King of the Mountains title.

Bhaktapur (Nepali: भक्तपुर), literally translates to Place of devotees. Also known as Bhadgaon or Khwopa (Newar: ख्वप Khwopa), it is an ancient Newar city in the east corner of the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal, about 13 km from the capital city, Kathmandu. It is located in Bhaktapur District in the Bagmati Zone.
Bhaktapur was the largest of the three Newar kingdoms of the Kathmandu Valley, and was the capital of Nepal during the great 'Malla Kingdom' until the second half of the 15th century. Today it is the third largest city in the Kathmandu Valley, with a population of more than 80,000, of which the vast majority are still Newars. Historically more isolated than the other two kingdoms, Kathmandu and Patan, Bhaktapur has a distinctly different form of Nepal Bhasa language.
Bhaktapur has the best preserved palace courtyards and old city center in Nepal, and is listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO for its rich culture, temples, and wood, metal and stone artworks. This is supported by the restoration and preservation efforts of German-funded Bhaktapur Development Project (BDP).
The city is famous for special type of curd called "Ju Ju(king) dhau(curd). It is experienced by the curd makers that the taste of curd prepared in this location cannot be found elsewhere all over Nepal.
ETYMOLOGY
KHWOPA is the ancient name of Bhaktapur. The term "Bhaktapur" (Sanskrit/Nepali: भक्तपुर) refers to "The City Of Devotees". This Bhaktapur City is also known as "Khwopa" (Nepal Bhasa: ख्वप) or "Bhadgaon" (Nepali:भादगाँउ) or "Ancient Newari Town" throughout the Kathmandu Valley. "Kh0apa" actually refers to the masks which are believed to have been worn by gods and goddesses. Bhaktapur is popular for different forms of mask dances based on lives of different deities and therefore, it was named "Khwapa" which later came to become just "Khwopa," which is also near to meaning masks.
HISTORY
It is the home of traditional art and architecture, historical monuments and craft works, magnificent windows, pottery and weaving industries, excellent temples, beautiful ponds, rich local customs, culture, religion, festivals, musical mystic and so on. Bhaktapur is still an untouched as well as preserved ancient city that is itself a world to explore for tourists.
From time immemorial it lay on the trade route between Tibet and India. This position on the main caravan route made the town rich and prosperous.
DEMOGRAPHICS
At the time of the 2001 Nepal census it had a population of 72,543. The male inhabitants of this city wear a special type of cap called the Bhadgaunle Topi Nyatapola.
LANDMARKS
LAYAKU (DURBAR SQUARE)
Bhaktapur Durbar Square is a conglomeration of pagoda and shikhara-style temples, mostly dedicated to Hindu gods and goddesses grouped around a 55-window palace of brick and wood. The square is one of the most charming architectural showpieces of the valley as it highlights the ancient arts of Nepal. The golden effigies of the kings perched on the top of stone monoliths, the guardian deities looking out from their sanctuaries, the wood carvings in every place — struts, lintels, uprights, tympanums, gateways and windows — all seem to form a well-orchestrated symphony.
The royal palace was originally situated at Dattaraya square and was only later moved to the Durbar square location. The square in Bhaktapur was severely damaged by an earthquake in 1934 and hence appears more spacious than the ones at Kathmandu and Patan.
NYATAPOLA TEMPLE
Nyatapola Temple is a 5-story pagoda located in Bhaktapur, Nepal. The temple was erected by Nepali King Bhupatindra Malla during a 5-month period from late 1701 into 1702. It is the temple of Siddha Laxmi, the Hindu goddess of prosperity.
BHAIRAB NATH TEMPLE
This is another pagoda temple of lord Bhairab, the dreadful aspect of Lord Shiva. It stands a short distance away from the temple of Nyatapola and was originally constructed by King Jagat Jyoti Malla on a modest scale. It was later remodelled by King Bhupatindra Malla, a zealous lover of the arts, into what it is now a three-storeyed temple.
DATTATRAYA TEMPLE
The temple of Dattatraya is as old as the Palace of Fifty-five Windows. Consecrated by King Yakshya Malla in 1427 AD, this temple, according to popular belief, was built out of the trunk of a single tree. It was subsequently repaired and renovated by King Vishwa Malla in 1458 AD.
Just beside temple is a monastery (Math) with exquisitely carved peacock windows. These famous windows were carved during the reign of King Vishwa Malla. The monastery is full of artistic facades of latticed windows and engraved columns.
CHANGU NARAYAN TEMPLE
Changu Narayan is an ancient Hindu temple located near the village of Changunarayan in the Kathmandu Valley on top of a hill at the eastern end of the valley. It is 6 kilometres to the north of Bhakathapur and 22 kilometres from Kathmandu. The temple is one of the oldest Hindu temples of the valley, and is believed to have been constructed first in the 4th century. Changu Narayan is the name of Vishnu, and the temple is dedicated to him. A stone slab discovered in the vicinity of the temple dates to the 5th century, and is the oldest such stone inscription discovered in Nepal. It was rebuilt after the old temple was devastated. Many stone sculptures here date to the Licchavi period. Changu Narayan Temple is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
The temple is a double-roofed structure where the idol of Lord Vishnu in his incarnation as Narayana is deified. The exquisitely built temple has intricate roof struts showing multi-armed Tantric deities. A kneeling image of Garuda (dated to the 5th century), the vahana or vehicle of Vishnu with a snake around its neck, faces the temple. The gilded door depicts stone lions guarding the temple. Gilded windows also flank the door. A conch and a disc, symbols of Vishnu, are carved on the two pillars at the entrance. Non-Hindus are not allowed inside the temple.
TA PUKHA (SIDDHA POKHARI)
Ta Pukhu (Siddha Pokhari) is a big rectangular water pond near the main city gate. It was built during the reign of King Yakshya Malla in the early 15th century and is associated with a number of myths. From this spot a wide range of snowy peaks are visible on clear days.
KAILASHNATH MAHADEV STATUE
Kailashnath Mahadev is the World's Tallest Lord Shiva statue. The height of this statue is 143 feet high and is situated 20 km from Kathmandu, epal.

The Albertina
The architectural history of the Palais
(Pictures you can see by clicking on the link at the end of page!)

"It is my will that the expansion of the inner city of Vienna with regard to a suitable connection of the same with the suburbs as soon as possible is tackled and at this on Regulirung (regulation) and beautifying of my Residence and Imperial Capital is taken into account. To this end I grant the withdrawal of the ramparts and fortifications of the inner city and the trenches around the same".
This decree of Emperor Franz Joseph I, published on 25 December 1857 in the Wiener Zeitung, formed the basis for the largest the surface concerning and architecturally most significant transformation of the Viennese cityscape. Involving several renowned domestic and foreign architects a "master plan" took form, which included the construction of a boulevard instead of the ramparts between the inner city and its radially upstream suburbs. In the 50-years during implementation phase, an impressive architectural ensemble developed, consisting of imperial and private representational buildings, public administration and cultural buildings, churches and barracks, marking the era under the term "ring-street style". Already in the first year tithe decided a senior member of the Austrian imperial family to decorate the facades of his palace according to the new design principles, and thus certified the aristocratic claim that this also "historicism" said style on the part of the imperial house was attributed.

It was the palace of Archduke Albrecht (1817-1895), the Senior of the Habsburg Family Council, who as Field Marshal held the overall command over the Austro-Hungarian army. The building was incorporated into the imperial residence of the Hofburg complex, forming the south-west corner and extending eleven meters above street level on the so-called Augustinerbastei.
The close proximity of the palace to the imperial residence corresponded not only with Emperor Franz Joseph I and Archduke Albert with a close familial relationship between the owner of the palace and the monarch. Even the former inhabitants were always in close relationship to the imperial family, whether by birth or marriage. An exception here again proves the rule: Don Emanuel Teles da Silva Conde Tarouca (1696-1771), for which Maria Theresa in 1744 the palace had built, was just a close friend and advisor of the monarch. Silva Tarouca underpins the rule with a second exception, because he belonged to the administrative services as Generalhofbaudirektor (general court architect) and President of the Austrian-Dutch administration, while all other him subsequent owners were highest ranking military.
In the annals of Austrian history, especially those of military history, they either went into as commander of the Imperial Army, or the Austrian, later kk Army. In chronological order, this applies to Duke Carl Alexander of Lorraine, the brother-of-law of Maria Theresa, as Imperial Marshal, her son-in-law Duke Albert of Saxe-Teschen, also field marshal, whos adopted son, Archduke Charles of Austria, the last imperial field marshal and only Generalissimo of Austria, his son Archduke Albrecht of Austria as Feldmarschalil and army Supreme commander, and most recently his nephew Archduke Friedrich of Austria, who held as field marshal from 1914 to 1916 the command of the Austro-Hungarian troops. Despite their military profession, all five generals conceived themselves as patrons of the arts and promoted large sums of money to build large collections, the construction of magnificent buildings and cultural life. Charles Alexander of Lorraine promoted as governor of the Austrian Netherlands from 1741 to 1780 the Academy of Fine Arts, the Théâtre de Ja Monnaie and the companies Bourgeois Concert and Concert Noble, he founded the Academie royale et imperial des Sciences et des Lettres, opened the Bibliotheque Royal for the population and supported artistic talents with high scholarships. World fame got his porcelain collection, which however had to be sold by Emperor Joseph II to pay off his debts. Duke Albert began in 1776 according to the concept of conte Durazzo to set up an encyclopedic collection of prints, which forms the core of the world-famous "Albertina" today.

1816 declared to Fideikommiss and thus in future indivisible, inalienable and inseparable, the collection 1822 passed into the possession of Archduke Carl, who, like his descendants, it broadened. Under him, the collection was introduced together with the sumptuously equipped palace on the Augustinerbastei in the so-called "Carl Ludwig'schen fideicommissum in 1826, by which the building and the in it kept collection fused into an indissoluble unity. At this time had from the Palais Tarouca by structural expansion or acquisition a veritable Residenz palace evolved. Duke Albert of Saxe-Teschen was first in 1800 the third floor of the adjacent Augustinian convent wing adapted to house his collection and he had after 1802 by his Belgian architect Louis de Montoyer at the suburban side built a magnificent extension, called the wing of staterooms, it was equipped in the style of Louis XVI. Only two decades later, Archduke Carl the entire palace newly set up. According to scetches of the architect Joseph Kornhäusel the 1822-1825 retreaded premises presented themselves in the Empire style. The interior of the palace testified from now in an impressive way the high rank and the prominent position of its owner. Under Archduke Albrecht the outer appearance also should meet the requirements. He had the facade of the palace in the style of historicism orchestrated and added to the Palais front against the suburbs an offshore covered access. Inside, he limited himself, apart from the redesign of the Rococo room in the manner of the second Blondel style, to the retention of the paternal stock. Archduke Friedrich's plans for an expansion of the palace were omitted, however, because of the outbreak of the First World War so that his contribution to the state rooms, especially, consists in the layout of the Spanish apartment, which he in 1895 for his sister, the Queen of Spain Maria Christina, had set up as a permanent residence.
Picture: The "audience room" after the restoration: Picture: The "balcony room" around 1990
The era of stately representation with handing down their cultural values found its most obvious visualization inside the palace through the design and features of the staterooms. On one hand, by the use of the finest materials and the purchase of masterfully manufactured pieces of equipment, such as on the other hand by the permanent reuse of older equipment parts. This period lasted until 1919, when Archduke Friedrich was expropriated by the newly founded Republic of Austria. With the republicanization of the collection and the building first of all finished the tradition that the owner's name was synonymous with the building name:
After Palais Tarouca or tarokkisches house it was called Lorraine House, afterwards Duke Albert Palais and Palais Archduke Carl. Due to the new construction of an adjacently located administration building it received in 1865 the prefix "Upper" and was referred to as Upper Palais Archduke Albrecht and Upper Palais Archduke Frederick. For the state a special reference to the Habsburg past was certainly politically no longer opportune, which is why was decided to name the building according to the in it kept collection "Albertina".
Picture: The "Wedgwood Cabinet" after the restoration: Picture: the "Wedgwood Cabinet" in the Palais Archduke Friedrich, 1905
This name derives from the term "La Collection Albertina" which had been used by the gallery Inspector Maurice von Thausing in 1870 in the Gazette des Beaux-Arts for the former graphics collection of Duke Albert. For this reason, it was the first time since the foundation of the palace that the name of the collection had become synonymous with the room shell. Room shell, hence, because the Republic of Austria Archduke Friedrich had allowed to take along all the movable goods from the palace in his Hungarian exile: crystal chandeliers, curtains and carpets as well as sculptures, vases and clocks. Particularly stressed should be the exquisite furniture, which stems of three facilities phases: the Louis XVI furnitures of Duke Albert, which had been manufactured on the basis of fraternal relations between his wife Archduchess Marie Christine and the French Queen Marie Antoinette after 1780 in the French Hofmanufakturen, also the on behalf of Archduke Charles 1822-1825 in the Vienna Porcelain Manufactory by Joseph Danhauser produced Empire furnitures and thirdly additions of the same style of Archduke Friedrich, which this about 1900 at Portois & Ffix as well as at Friedrich Otto Schmidt had commissioned.
The "swept clean" building got due to the strained financial situation after the First World War initially only a makeshift facility. However, since until 1999 no revision of the emergency equipment took place, but differently designed, primarily the utilitarianism committed office furnitures complementarily had been added, the equipment of the former state rooms presented itself at the end of the 20th century as an inhomogeneous administrative mingle-mangle of insignificant parts, where, however, dwelt a certain quaint charm. From the magnificent state rooms had evolved depots, storage rooms, a library, a study hall and several officed.

Image: The palace after the demolition of the entrance facade, 1948-52
Worse it hit the outer appearance of the palace, because in times of continued anti-Habsburg sentiment after the Second World War and inspired by an intolerant destruction will, it came by pickaxe to a ministerial erasure of history. In contrast to the graphic collection possessed the richly decorated facades with the conspicuous insignia of the former owner an object-immanent reference to the Habsburg past and thus exhibited the monarchial traditions and values of the era of Francis Joseph significantly. As part of the remedial measures after a bomb damage, in 1948 the aristocratic, by Archduke Albert initiated, historicist facade structuring along with all decorations was cut off, many facade figures demolished and the Hapsburg crest emblems plunged to the ground. Since in addition the old ramp also had been cancelled and the main entrance of the bastion level had been moved down to the second basement storey at street level, ended the presence of the old Archduke's palace after more than 200 years. At the reopening of the "Albertina Graphic Collection" in 1952, the former Hapsburg Palais of splendour presented itself as one of his identity robbed, formally trivial, soulless room shell, whose successful republicanization an oversized and also unproportional eagle above the new main entrance to the Augustinian road symbolized. The emocratic throw of monuments had wiped out the Hapsburg palace from the urban appeareance, whereby in the perception only existed a nondescript, nameless and ahistorical building that henceforth served the lodging and presentation of world-famous graphic collection of the Albertina. The condition was not changed by the decision to the refurbishment because there were only planned collection specific extensions, but no restoration of the palace.
Image: The palace after the Second World War with simplified facades, the rudiment of the Danubiusbrunnens (well) and the new staircase up to the Augustinerbastei
This paradigm shift corresponded to a blatant reversal of the historical circumstances, as the travel guides and travel books for kk Residence and imperial capital of Vienna dedicated itself primarily with the magnificent, aristocratic palace on the Augustinerbastei with the sumptuously fitted out reception rooms and mentioned the collection kept there - if at all - only in passing. Only with the repositioning of the Albertina in 2000 under the direction of Klaus Albrecht Schröder, the palace was within the meaning and in fulfillment of the Fideikommiss of Archduke Charles in 1826 again met with the high regard, from which could result a further inseparable bond between the magnificent mansions and the world-famous collection. In view of the knowing about politically motivated errors and omissions of the past, the facades should get back their noble, historicist designing, the staterooms regain their glamorous, prestigious appearance and culturally unique equippment be repurchased. From this presumption, eventually grew the full commitment to revise the history of redemption and the return of the stately palace in the public consciousness.
Image: The restored suburb facade of the Palais Albertina suburb
The smoothed palace facades were returned to their original condition and present themselves today - with the exception of the not anymore reconstructed Attica figures - again with the historicist decoration and layout elements that Archduke Albrecht had given after the razing of the Augustinerbastei in 1865 in order. The neoclassical interiors, today called after the former inhabitants "Habsburg Staterooms", receiving a meticulous and detailed restoration taking place at the premises of originality and authenticity, got back their venerable and sumptuous appearance. From the world wide scattered historical pieces of equipment have been bought back 70 properties or could be returned through permanent loan to its original location, by which to the visitors is made experiencable again that atmosphere in 1919 the state rooms of the last Habsburg owner Archduke Frederick had owned. The for the first time in 80 years public accessible "Habsburg State Rooms" at the Palais Albertina enable now again as eloquent testimony to our Habsburg past and as a unique cultural heritage fundamental and essential insights into the Austrian cultural history. With the relocation of the main entrance to the level of the Augustinerbastei the recollection to this so valuable Austrian Cultural Heritage formally and functionally came to completion. The vision of the restoration and recovery of the grand palace was a pillar on which the new Albertina should arise again, the other embody the four large newly built exhibition halls, which allow for the first time in the history of the Albertina, to exhibit the collection throughout its encyclopedic breadh under optimal conservation conditions.

The palace presents itself now in its appearance in the historicist style of the Ringstrassenära, almost as if nothing had happened in the meantime. But will the wheel of time should not, cannot and must not be turned back, so that the double standards of the "Albertina Palace" said museum - on the one hand Habsburg grandeur palaces and other modern museum for the arts of graphics - should be symbolized by a modern character: The in 2003 by Hans Hollein designed far into the Albertina square cantilevering, elegant floating flying roof. 64 meters long, it symbolizes in the form of a dynamic wedge the accelerated urban spatial connectivity and public access to the palace. It advertises the major changes in the interior as well as the huge underground extensions of the repositioned "Albertina".

MuCEM + Fort Saint-Jean, Marseille, France - 2013 -Architects: Rudy Ricciotti and C+T architecture
Views, sea, sun, a mineral quality, which all must be orchestrated by a program that will become federal and cognitive. First of all a perfect square of 72 m per side, it is a classic plan, Latin, under the control of Pythagoras. Within this square, another of 52 m per side, comprising the exhibition and conference halls identified as the heart of the museum.
Around, above and below are the service areas. But between these areas and the heart, openings entirely bypass the central square and form interconnected spaces. More interested by the views of the fort, the sea or the port, the culturally overwhelmed visitor will choose this route. Along two interlacing ramps, he will then plunge into the imaginary of the tower of Babel or of a ziggurat in order to climb up to the rooftop and on to Fort Saint- Jean. This peripheral loop will be a free breathe, enveloped by the smells of the sea from the proximity to the moats, a pause to dispel any lingering doubts about the use of the history of our civilizations. The MuCEM will be a vertical Casbah.
The tectonic choice of an exceptional concrete coming from the latest research by French industry, reducing the dimensions to little more than skin and bones, will affirm a mineral script under the high ramparts of Fort Saint-Jean. This sole material in the colour of dust, matt, crushed by the light, distant from the brilliance and technological consumerism, will commend the dense and the delicate. The MuCEM sees itself evanescent in a landscape of stone and Orientalist through its fanning shadows.
Chris Lawless became the first Briton to win the Tour de Yorkshire after a superb ride on the last stage to Leeds.
Lawless, racing in the blue jersey as the overnight leader, finished right behind stage winner Greg van Avermaet to secure a debut win for Team Ineos.
Wigan's Lawless, 23, was immediately congratulated by team-mate Chris Froome, who orchestrated the decisive final break on Cote de Otley Chevin.
Team Ineos was only officially launched last week, replacing Team Sky.
"I can't believe it," Lawless told ITV 4. "If someone had told me I'd win this race before it started I'd have called them a liar.
"I started losing touch halfway up the Otley Chevin but I knew if I could get back on there was a climb around 5km from the finish that I could get over.
"I knew I could follow Greg van Avermaet when he went. Greg was someone I looked up to when I first started riding so to beat him is special.
"I've got to thank the team for backing me because I don't have a good history on stages like this but they said they'd give me a chance."
When asked how big a win it is for him personally, he replied: "The biggest."
Froome's tactics pay off
After 150km of racing, much of it through the picturesque Yorkshire Dales, the final stage exploded on the final categorised climb of the race - the Cote de Otley Chevin - with around 20km remaining.
With Lawless appearing to struggle, four-time Tour de France champion Froome - who was Ineos' road captain and said "decisions were made out on the road" - went on the attack and his effort forced other teams pursuing the overall victory to try to chase him down.
Froome's team-mate Eddie Dunbar had also followed the attack. He then launched his own surprise move as the riders crested the hill and quickly broke clear, chasing down and passing three French riders who were part of the day's original break.
Realising that Dunbar could go on and win the overall title, Froome disrupted the pace of the chasing pack and that, in turn, gave Lawless the chance to catch up.
Eventually, defending champion Van Avermaet, who started the day six seconds behind Lawless, had to attack and while he quickly caught Dunbar, Lawless went with him. That left the Belgian CCC rider with two Ineos riders for company and with an almost impossible task of shaking them both off.
Knowing his fate was sealed, Van Avermaet took the stage win, with Lawless happy to follow him over the line and claim the title by two seconds.
Alexander Kamp, who started the final stage on the same time as Lawless claimed that he was "the strongest rider" over the hills but the Dane failed to live up to his bold statement and was distanced on the final climb out of Otley.
France's Arnaud Courteille, who was in the day's nine-man break, was first to the top of three of the day's five categorised climbs to take the King of the Mountains title.

I was asked by the President of Malta, George Abela to work on this project to raise money for the Malta Community Chest Fund. Musical Director, Sigmund Mifsud had already chosen and orchestrated a series of rock classics pieces to be played by the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra. The Rockestra show took place on the 12th September at the MFCC. Ticket sales were expected to be around 3,000 but I am very pleased to say that they sold out at 12,000. This is the largest indoor event ever held in Malta.
The evening included pieces by Coldplay, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Bob Marley, The Eagles and John Miles, so had a strong 70’s leaning and I wanted to reflect that in the imagery.
The local artists were The Riffs, Jotham Saliba, Claire Caruana, Alex Bezzina, Raquela, Neville Refalo, Daniel Cauchi, Ruben Zahra, Paul Borg Bonaci and DJ Owen.

Chris Lawless became the first Briton to win the Tour de Yorkshire after a superb ride on the last stage to Leeds.
Lawless, racing in the blue jersey as the overnight leader, finished right behind stage winner Greg van Avermaet to secure a debut win for Team Ineos.
Wigan's Lawless, 23, was immediately congratulated by team-mate Chris Froome, who orchestrated the decisive final break on Cote de Otley Chevin.
Team Ineos was only officially launched last week, replacing Team Sky.
"I can't believe it," Lawless told ITV 4. "If someone had told me I'd win this race before it started I'd have called them a liar.
"I started losing touch halfway up the Otley Chevin but I knew if I could get back on there was a climb around 5km from the finish that I could get over.
"I knew I could follow Greg van Avermaet when he went. Greg was someone I looked up to when I first started riding so to beat him is special.
"I've got to thank the team for backing me because I don't have a good history on stages like this but they said they'd give me a chance."
When asked how big a win it is for him personally, he replied: "The biggest."
Froome's tactics pay off
After 150km of racing, much of it through the picturesque Yorkshire Dales, the final stage exploded on the final categorised climb of the race - the Cote de Otley Chevin - with around 20km remaining.
With Lawless appearing to struggle, four-time Tour de France champion Froome - who was Ineos' road captain and said "decisions were made out on the road" - went on the attack and his effort forced other teams pursuing the overall victory to try to chase him down.
Froome's team-mate Eddie Dunbar had also followed the attack. He then launched his own surprise move as the riders crested the hill and quickly broke clear, chasing down and passing three French riders who were part of the day's original break.
Realising that Dunbar could go on and win the overall title, Froome disrupted the pace of the chasing pack and that, in turn, gave Lawless the chance to catch up.
Eventually, defending champion Van Avermaet, who started the day six seconds behind Lawless, had to attack and while he quickly caught Dunbar, Lawless went with him. That left the Belgian CCC rider with two Ineos riders for company and with an almost impossible task of shaking them both off.
Knowing his fate was sealed, Van Avermaet took the stage win, with Lawless happy to follow him over the line and claim the title by two seconds.
Alexander Kamp, who started the final stage on the same time as Lawless claimed that he was "the strongest rider" over the hills but the Dane failed to live up to his bold statement and was distanced on the final climb out of Otley.
France's Arnaud Courteille, who was in the day's nine-man break, was first to the top of three of the day's five categorised climbs to take the King of the Mountains title.

You could see the vinyl killers orchestrate a wireless symphony in Yokomono by Staalplaat Soundsystem.
Yokomono is one of the best known projects of Staalplaat Soundsystem founded by Dutchman Geert-Jan Hobijn and German Carsten Stabenow.
Four little cars called ‘vinyl killers’ ran round and round on specially made vinyl records. Each one is effectively a little record player, fitted with a wireless FM transmitter that sent signals to stacks of radios piled up in Newcastle’s alt.gallery.
Musical harmony could not be guaranteed as the vinyl killers’ run on batteries that will run down but not necessarily at the same rate. Each transmitter also interferes to some extent with the other. It’s a case of set them off and see — and hear — what happens.
Biography:
Since its inception in 2000, Staalplaat Soundsystem has started creating a multitude of Machine Installations using all manner of consumer electronics The initiator of Staalplaat Soundsystem is sound artist Geert-Jan Hobijn, graphic designer and founder of Staalplaat .

MuCEM + Fort Saint-Jean, Marseille, France - 2013 -Architects: Rudy Ricciotti and C+T architecture
Views, sea, sun, a mineral quality, which all must be orchestrated by a program that will become federal and cognitive. First of all a perfect square of 72 m per side, it is a classic plan, Latin, under the control of Pythagoras. Within this square, another of 52 m per side, comprising the exhibition and conference halls identified as the heart of the museum.
Around, above and below are the service areas. But between these areas and the heart, openings entirely bypass the central square and form interconnected spaces. More interested by the views of the fort, the sea or the port, the culturally overwhelmed visitor will choose this route. Along two interlacing ramps, he will then plunge into the imaginary of the tower of Babel or of a ziggurat in order to climb up to the rooftop and on to Fort Saint- Jean. This peripheral loop will be a free breathe, enveloped by the smells of the sea from the proximity to the moats, a pause to dispel any lingering doubts about the use of the history of our civilizations. The MuCEM will be a vertical Casbah.
The tectonic choice of an exceptional concrete coming from the latest research by French industry, reducing the dimensions to little more than skin and bones, will affirm a mineral script under the high ramparts of Fort Saint-Jean. This sole material in the colour of dust, matt, crushed by the light, distant from the brilliance and technological consumerism, will commend the dense and the delicate. The MuCEM sees itself evanescent in a landscape of stone and Orientalist through its fanning shadows.
If being part of a Guinness World Record attempt is on your bucket list, then Saturday, June 6, is your chance.
Just bring a canoe or kayak.
As part of Pittsburgh hosting United Nations World Environment Day, Venture Outdoors is orchestrating an attempt to set a new world record for the largest flotilla of canoes and kayaks.
The current record is 1,104 set in 2008 by the Inlet Area Business Association in upstate New York. Cleveland held the record for seven years before that with 776 boats.
Nearly 1,400 people already are registered for the attempt, but the Venture Outdoors folks are hoping to get at least 1,500 and set a record that will last, especially given that Davenport, Iowa, is organizing their own record-breaking attempt in August.
The local theme of World Environment Day is "water matters."
"Venture Outdoors was challenged to come up with an idea of how we can acknowledge Pittsburgh rivers and celebrate our leadership in terms of water quality, so this was our idea," said Venture Outdoors assistant executive director Sean Brady. "We wanted participation in helping raise awareness of the successes to date and the future challenges of protecting our water quality."
Jon Lucadamo, program director for Venture Outdoors, said that Guinness has very specific rules as to what will constitute a world record.
Inflatable boats don't count. Nor do rowing shells, dragon boats or row boats. In order to break the record, all the boats have to be either hardshell kayaks or canoes. All boats need to be joined together by people holding hands or paddles and the raft needs to be free-floating, so no tying off from boat to boat and no tying the raft off to a stationary object.
"We'll be anchored while we're setting up, but once everyone is in place we'll remove the anchor and the countdown will start," Lucadamo said. "We just have to hold it for 30 seconds."
A helicopter from news channel WPXI will hover over the raft and take a picture to provide Guinness with the required high resolution aerial photo. Venture Outdoors also is asking everyone who plans to participate to pre-register on www.paddleatthepoint.com and then check in beginning at 9 a.m. to help verify the number of participants.
Solo kayak rentals are sold out; however, rental canoes are available. Those renting will launch from the North Shore in front of Heinz Field, while those bringing their own boats will launch from the Mon Wharf. Launches will begin around 11:30 a.m. and Lucadamo said they believe it will take 60-90 minutes to get everyone in place and complete the attempt. The rivers will reopen to motorized boats beginning at 2 p.m.
Rick Brown, executive director of Three Rivers Rowing, said that they're contributing boats to the cause and also will have members participating.
"I think it's a great idea and a neat way to bring attention to the use of our rivers," said Brown, who plans to be part of the attempt. "I don't think I can really imagine it until I actually see it. It's going to definitely be something worth being around for. To have a ton of people all trying to do one thing at the same time, it's going to be pretty neat."
