With an overtaking-friendly track, combining long, high-speed straights with technical twisty sections, theres more than enough for the drivers to get stuck into over the course of the Malaysian Grand Prix weekend. But this year theres an additional curveball to contend with thanks to the new Pirelli tyres, which are as-yet untested in the kind of sizzling temperatures we tend to see in Kuala Lumpur. Key team personnel and, of course, the drivers discuss their chances of success at the challenging Sepang International Circuit
Fernando Alonso, Ferrari
2010 Qualifying - 19th, 2010 Race - 13th
The fact that the weather can change so quickly here makes the preparation work for the various phases of work on track more stressful. Suddenly it can go from sunshine to a short sharp shower and you need to be prepared for every eventuality. Its not just a problem for us drivers, as its affects the whole team: in some cases you need to be ready with a plan B or C, or even maybe a D for all the various scenarios!
We know we have to improve our performance level, but we are equally aware that in the end, the race result was not such a disaster. We will have a few minor updates on the car, but nothing very significant or the sort of thing you could say would be the key to take a leap forward in performance terms. I believe we must stay concentrated on our own work and try to understand how to get all the potential out of the 150° Italia and Im sure theres plenty to come. Before we achieve that, its pointless standing here making predictions about how the weekend will turn out. We just have to tackle it one day at a time.
My happiest memory of Sepang circuit goes back to my first-ever pole position, which I secured on 22 March 2003. Neither myself, nor my team, Renault, had expected that sort of result on Saturday morning, but come the end of qualifying, we found ourselves with both cars on the front row. It was a very happy moment and I can still clearly remember how the afternoon went, then the dinner and Sunday morning, when I was thinking about what would happen in the race. Every time I come back here, I think of that weekend, at the happiness of taking pole and the feeling of trepidation going into the race. I did not win, as later happened in 2005 and 2007, but I was still third and so managed to jump up on the podium for the first time. It was definitely a weekend to remember for a long time!
Felipe Massa, Ferrari
2010 Qualifying - 21st, 2010 Race - 7th
Here in Malaysia for the second race, there will still be a lot of unanswered questions as we start practice, because if you compare Melbourne with Sepang, the difference is as clear as black and white. The Melbourne asphalt is not very abrasive, the temperature is cool, the track is more of a city track, even if it is a real race circuit and the corner types are very different. Sepang is very hot, its a proper race track, with a lot of high speed sections, fast corners and many changes of direction. Then from a physical point of view the difference is also obvious: driving Albert Park is very easy and you get out of the car at the end of the race feeling completely fresh, whereas in Malaysia you lose a lot of fluid and lose weight and generally it is much more demanding. For all these reasons, I expect to see a completely different performance from our team and from our car.
With the moveable rear wing, the situation will be interesting here, because for the moment, the plan is to be allowed to use DRS during the race on the straight in front of the pits, but at Sepang, the straight that runs back the other way is actually longer. It is also true that it would offer a higher chance of overtaking. So, we are waiting for the final decision from the FIA to see if we use DRS on the front straight, the back one or both. The right decision could make the race more interesting for drivers and the spectators too. Personally, I am not sure that allowing DRS on both straights is the best option, because I think it might actually make overtaking too easy. You have to get the right balance between helping the chances of overtaking and having almost too much passing. At Sepang, the two straights follow one another, so if you are quicker than the car ahead, you might not even try and pass on the first straight, preferring to get well prepared and as close as possible, before then having a simple overtaking move on the second straight.
Looking at the weather here, it seems inevitable that we will have the usual heavy showers at some point every afternoon, which will be interesting. So far, I have just had one day of testing on Pirelli rain tyres, at the Jerez test back in February, which is not enough to have a good understanding. We will have to be well prepared for any eventuality and it will be an interesting experiment seeing how the tyres work in both very hot and very wet conditions. This will therefore be a very important weekend for Pirelli after what was a relatively easy debut for them in Melbourne.
Pat Fry, Ferrari deputy technical director
The most obvious requirement is that your car must have a sensible amount of cooling because of the high temperatures. But you do not want a situation where you achieve this by opening apertures in the bodywork, which although effective in cooling the car mean you lose a lot of downforce. Therefore, you need a car that cools well and has a reasonable amount of downforce, particularly to deal with the high speed combination of corners at the start of Sector Two. Another important factor is keeping an eye on when the rain showers are due to arrive: normally it is late afternoon, just in time to make qualifying or the race more exciting!
Adrian Sutil, Force India
2010 Qualifying - 4th, 2010 Race - 5th
Malaysia was a great race last year, one of my best results, so I am really looking forward to racing there again. It's a challenging circuit and with a good balance on the car you can definitely enjoy driving it. It is also usually an interesting weekend from a strategy point of view because you don't know how the rain is going to affect the teams, so it is challenging, but exciting too.
Paul Di Resta, Force India
2010 Qualifying - n/a, 2010 Race - n/a
I participated in FP1 last year (in Malaysia), but did not complete a great deal of laps. I really enjoyed the track, although the heat and humidity is much tougher than anywhere else we drive on the calendar. It will be interesting to see how we perform there and I am very much looking forward to my second race with the team.
Dr Vijay Mallya, Force India chairman and team principal
I think we have every reason to be confident, but the weather often plays a big role over the Malaysian weekend. Adrian drove a great race there last year and brought home 10 championship points, so we have something good to build on. The VJM04 has shown us that we are capable of being in the points already, so let's hope we have a clean race this week with no incidents.
Narain Karthikeyan, HRT
2010 Qualifying - n/a, 2010 Race - n/a
The last time I raced in Malaysia, back in 2005, I had huge support from the local fans. A lot of Indians also made the trip to come and watch the race, so my memories of this Grand Prix are fantastic. I also love local food as it is nice and spicy just like back home. Despite driving the car for very few laps in Australia, I could sense that the F111 has the potential to be an improvement over last years machine. Sepang is a very demanding track technically, both for the driver and the car. It will be a good proving ground for the F111. Our primary goal for the weekend is to get as many miles under our belt as possible. It is only with more and more miles of running that we will be able to begin to understand the F111 and to start extracting its potential. Qualifying for the race and finishing it will be our primary goals for Malaysia. I have been working very hard on my outdoor training back home in India ever since I announced my comeback into F1. The weather back home is quite close to what we will experience over the race weekend here so Im confident that fitness-wise, I will be ready for Sepang.
Vitantonio Liuzzi, HRT
2010 Qualifying - 10th, 2010 Race - DNF
The Malaysian Grand Prix has the added factor of extreme weather conditions. I remember last years qualifying session which was affected by the rain as a really challenging session. I think Sepang will be a really good track for the F111 because its a very technical and demanding track. Its a challenging venue for our first proper race but a place where we will get a lot of information on the car. Our expectations for the weekend are to do well in qualifying and finish the race, confirming the performance and reliability of the car. I am really confident and motivated for this race. Im sure things will be a lot different from Australia because we are better prepared and conscious of what we need to do.
Colin Kolles, HRT team principal
The expectations for Malaysia are to get back to normality. We know that the car has potential and we hope that we will be able to get all updates on the cars. The 107 percent rule should not be an issue under normal circumstances. The target is to do as many laps as possible in free practice in order to prepare for the qualifying session and for the race."
Nick Heidfeld, Renault
2010 Qualifying - n/a, 2010 Race - n/a
You always look forward to the next one, even more so when you have had a difficult race. At the moment my objective is to forget about Australia and look forward to Malaysia. Ive some good memories including my podium for Williams in 2005 and my second place finish a couple of years ago in the very wet race. Also, I set my first fastest lap in a race there in 2008 - that was the year I had fun with a double overtaking move on Alonso and Coulthard! It can be special because of the weather. Sometimes its more like swimming than driving with the monsoons. It has a nice flow with some quick corners, as well as some overtaking opportunities.
Vitaly Petrov, Renault
2010 Qualifying - 11th, 2010 Race - DNF
We now have a better idea of where we stand compared to our competitors, but I think we need to wait a few more races to see the real picture. We know that Red Bull and McLaren are very strong, too, but hopefully we can keep pushing them hard. Its difficult to say. The big question will be on the tyres because we have not really run in high temperatures. I know we have some more aero parts coming for Sepang which will help. I like the track, but its difficult because there are lots of different corners and finding the ideal set-up isnt easy. You need a car that works everywhere: in the fast corners, in the slow corners, and you also need to be good on the brakes. I think its one of the more difficult tracks because of the mix of corners - both high and low speed. But its somewhere Ive always enjoyed racing and you always have to be ready for the weather.
Eric Boullier, Renault team principal
Todays development rate is important and the capacity for the technical team to deliver a new package to the car is crucial in the fight for the championship. I think in Malaysia the order will be different, and for the race after that there will be another new order, so its not representative for the whole season, no. I remain fully confident the team can repeat the performance of last year. We proved in 2010 that we had the ability to develop the car at a very high level and I see no reason why we cannot do the same this year, especially since weve worked on improving our processes and our production capacity.
James Allison, Renault technical director
Well, I dont want to be too specific - you know how paranoid we engineers are in this business - but I can say that we will bring a moderate upgrade package to Malaysia worth several tenths of a second. We will be making changes to the front and rear wing in addition to several items of bodywork.
Rubens Barrichello, Williams
2010 Qualifying - 7th, 2010 Race - 12th
Malaysia is a really nice place to visit and a track that I really enjoy racing on. It is a real test for the drivers though due to the heat and humidity. Malaysia will be hard on the tyres so it will be important to have a good car set-up. I am looking forward to getting there and to driving on such an incredible track. I hope to do well and my aim is to bring home some points.
Pastor Maldonado, Williams
2010 Qualifying - n/a, 2010 Race - n/a
After a difficult start to the season in Melbourne, I'm more than ready to get to Malaysia. Despite the result in Australia, I am now feeling more confident with both the car and within the team. Sepang is a very technical circuit, but I already know the track as I raced there in the 2009 GP2 Asia race, finishing second. I think that we will be able to get more performance out of our car there as there is a lot of potential if we keep working hard. Looking ahead, our objective is to continue to improve race after race. I would like to be in the top ten in both qualifying and the race, and I think we can achieve that. Of course, it would have been better if we had been able to finish the race in Melbourne, but the positive is that I'm now more experienced and feel confident with how a Formula One weekend unfolds and all the procedures involved.
Sam Michael, Williams technical director
Sepang is dominated by two high-speed corner combinations as well a number of slow-speed corners. There are three long straights at Sepang so set-up is geared towards those high speed sections as efficiency is well rewarded. We expect the moveable rear wing to have a greater influence on overtaking here, even more than it did in Australia. We have some aero upgrades for the front end of the FW33 that we will be bringing to Malaysia, while we will also have some improvements on the KERS together with solutions for the transmission issues we experienced in Melbourne. It will be interesting to see how the FW33 performs on this medium to high-speed circuit. Our target for the race is to finish with both cars in the points.
Paul Hembery, Pirellis motorsport director
"We were absolutely thrilled by our Grand Prix debut in Australia, but we're aware that Malaysia should be a very different proposition, with higher temperatures and increased degradation. We said all along that we would be seeing two to three pit stops in Australia, but in Malaysia I think that figure is likely to increase to three to four. They say that it's never a question of if it rains at Sepang but when, so the performance of our wet tyres could be crucial this weekend and we're certainly looking forward to seeing them out on track. We never believe in standing still at Pirelli, which is why the teams will have two extra sets of slick tyres available to them during Friday's free practice sessions for evaluation purposes. With testing not allowed during the season, this gives us a valuable opportunity to gather more data and feedback, while it also gives the teams an interesting taste of what could be coming in the future."
Heikki Kovalainen, Lotus
2010 Qualifying - 15th, 2010 Race - DNF
"Malaysia has a combination of all kinds of corners. The first few corners are very slow chicanes, then Turns Four, through Five, Six, Seven and Eight are very fast and you need to have a really good balance there. Then towards the end of the lap theres two very difficult braking points, corners where youre turning and braking into the corner. I think its Turns 11 and 13, both right-handers. You can take a couple of deeper lines there. Those are the main points. Getting your braking stability right in those kind of corners is one of the key elements to making a good lap time in Sepang. Physically its one of the toughest races, maybe together with Singapore which is also very difficult. Its something we start preparing for immediately after Australia. I arrived in Malaysia immediately after Melbourne and I started preparing the hydration and working with my nutritionist to prepare for the race itself. If you prepare properly its no issue. Im looking forward to it - I enjoy being in the heat and Im not distracted by it at all ."
Jarno Trulli, Lotus
2010 Qualifying - 18th, 2010 Race - 17th
"I'm really fired up for this weekend's race. This is our home race and we want to do our best to make the fans proud of us. There will be a lot of support for us in the stands and having been here for a week I've already seen that the level of support has gone up a lot since last year, so whatever happens it will be a great weekend for us. I've been keeping busy since arriving and spent a couple of days up in the Malaysian hills training on my bike with a local pro team and that's given me an outstanding preparation for what is always a tough weekend in the car. Sepang is a very challenging track. It's technical and it pushes the drivers and the cars very hard but we believe that the package we have can help us have a good weekend here in Malaysia and I am really looking forward to seeing how the car responds in the heat. In a perfect world we would be able to do something amazing in front of our home fans, but let's see. It's still early days for us, and while we are clearly closer to the midfield teams than we were a year ago we still have some time to make up, so I think we are all being realistic and working very hard to continue moving forward this year."
Tony Fernandes, Lotus team principal
"Team Lotus returns home and we are all excited about the race ahead. There will be three teams here with links to Malaysia but only one team that has Malaysian blood running deep in its veins, with Malaysian staff contributing to our growth at every level and which has been built from the ground up in the same style as Formula Ones grandee teams. We are enormously proud of what we have already achieved in just 18 months and we have done it through hard work and dedication, not by buying seemingly instant success through stickers on a car. We will continue to work extremely hard as we develop the car and the team, this season and for many years to come, but we will not rush into anything. Our team is growing in the right way, just like AirAsia has done, and when we look back in years to come history will show that by laying solid foundations now we will achieve long-term success."
Mike Gascoyne, Lotus chief technical officer
"We left Australia with mixed feelings about the race. Heikki's pace in the early laps was a good step forward for us, and Jarno's race pace took us close to what we showed in the pre-season tests we can do, but we did struggle all weekend with the tyres and a couple of small issues that we have now had time to resolve back at the factory. The conditions at Sepang should suit us more favourably. I think the track temperatures will help us show more of the car's true pace and as the layout it is quite similar to Barcelona - relatively high aero and a good mix of low and high speed turns - I think we will be able to extract more performance from the car than we were able to in Melbourne. The whole team is excited about the challenge ahead - they are energised by the huge local support we have and that will help us all put in a performance that will do our fans proud."
Sebastian Vettel, Red Bull
2010 Qualifying - 3rd, 2010 Race - 1st
Malaysia is the first real track we go to, as Australia is a semi-street circuit. Its hot and rains every day, but the question is when and how much? It will be a tricky one. Circuit-wise youve got everything in there: Turn 14 requires you to brake the car while youre still turning into the corner, which makes it quite challenging. Looking to China, we have good memories from there two years ago. We struggled to repeat it last year, but we will go back there and try again. I like the track and Ive got some good points there in the past. Generally the overseas races are special, as you go there a few days earlier than usual, so you get to see different things. I enjoy that and am looking forward to it.
Mark Webber, Red Bull
2010 Qualifying - 1st, 2010 Race - 2nd
Malaysia is a sensational circuit. It always provides an interesting race, especially with the weather. Its a great challenge for the driver too in terms of temperature and well need to see how the tyres go there. We got a lot of information from the first race and we expect our car to be good in Malaysia - I want to get some champagne and up on to the steps. China will be similar to Australia, as its pretty cold when we go there. I think it will be an interesting race with the rear wing due to the long straights.
Michael Schumacher, Mercedes GP
2010 Qualifying - 8th, 2010 Race - DNF
"We consider Malaysia as one of our home Grands Prix, so it obviously gives us a big boost to go there and have the support of Petronas and the Malaysian people. The track itself is great as it gives you a wide variety of possibilities during every lap. You can take multiple lines through some of the corners, which is something you can do hardly anywhere else. I have always liked driving there, and I look forward to doing it again.
"There is absolutely no doubt we want to do better than in the opening race, which was a disappointment for all of us. We clearly see that as a challenge and it is much too early to write us off. Everybody in the team remains positive and is in a fighting mood. So I expect a better weekend for us to come; a weekend we can build on."
Nico Rosberg, Mercedes GP
2010 Qualifying - 2nd, 2010 Race - 3rd
"To be honest, Sepang is my favourite circuit on the Formula One calendar. It's fast and challenging with a nice layout and a real variation of corners which make it an exciting track to drive. Last year I qualified second and achieved the team's first podium of the season. I have a good feeling coming back here this year and hope to achieve a good result at the home race of our title partner Petronas.
"We had a tough weekend in Australia but the team has worked hard and we are confident that the car will be running reliably in Malaysia. Melbourne is a unique circuit and we know that we will have a much better understanding of our level of performance after the next races. I think we can surprise people next Sunday. We know that the car is fast from the last test in Barcelona, so now we have to work on proving that potential."
Ross Brawn, Mercedes GP team principal
"As the home race of our title partner, Petronas, the Malaysian Grand Prix is a very important and prestigious race for our team. The whole team enjoys our annual visit to both Kuala Lumpur and the Sepang International Circuit, and the unparalleled hospitality of our friends from Petronas and the Malaysian fans.
"We endured a difficult weekend at the first race of the season, despite having reasonable expectations after completing a successful testing programme in Barcelona. We suffered a number of problems which resulted in a far from optimum car for qualifying and the race, and then were unlucky to suffer a disappointing double retirement for Michael and Nico.
"Our priority since Melbourne has been to regroup back at our factories in Brackley and Brixworth, to review the weekend in detail, and to establish the best way to achieve the full potential of the car from Malaysia onwards. How we respond to the disappointment of Melbourne, and the challenges we faced, will be a true measure of our team."
Norbert Haug, Vice-President, Mercedes-Benz Motorsport
"The Sepang circuit presents many challenges. It has a wide variety of corners with varying radii which demand good aerodynamic stability and efficiency from a Formula One car. There are four major braking events during the lap, and extreme climatic conditions are the norm in Sepang, with high temperatures and humidity - which create a high likelihood of rain in the late afternoon during both qualifying and the race.
"The Malaysian Grand Prix is one of our home races, with our title partner Petronas headquartered in Kuala Lumpur, and Nico scored the first podium for our team last year at this circuit with a third-place finish.
"Since the first race in Australia, we have worked hard in Brackley and Brixworth to analyse the reasons behind, and to solve, the reliability and performance problems which hampered our first race weekend of the season. Our target is to be in better shape in Malaysia."
Timo Glock, Virgin
2010 Qualifying - 16th, 2010 Race - DNF
I feel like I have got back on track very quickly with the fitness side of things and I am spending the time between Australia and Malaysia making sure I am fully acclimatised and ready for the challenge. Malaysia is one of the hardest races on the Formula One calendar and one for which fitness is very important. The heat and humidity are really punishing and so this is where the physical training really pays off. I feel like I have got back on track very quickly with the fitness side of things and I am spending the time between Australia and Malaysia making sure I am fully acclimatised and ready for the challenge. I have lots of good memories from Malaysia - I finished on the podium in 2009 after chasing the leader, Jenson Button, before the race got red-flagged due to the big rainstorm. The Sepang track has a lot of character and its very physical, with Turn 14 being one of the toughest corners of all. Its a race I will enjoy so we will try to make the best of our current package and aim to get both cars to the finish.
Jerome DAmbrosio, Virgin
2010 Qualifying - n/a, 2010 Race - n/a
I really learned a lot in Melbourne and I was very happy with the weekend as a starting point. I really enjoyed the whole experience of my debut Grand Prix. I learned a lot in Melbourne and I was very happy with the weekend as a starting point, so Im looking forward to more of the same in Kuala Lumpur. I do know this track - the Sepang International Circuit - as I competed here in GP2 Asia. Its a really interesting circuit layout and the challenge of racing in these tough conditions gives you a lot of satisfaction because its the best way of finding out just how fit you are. I think our focus will be on trying to do a better job in qualifying and getting both cars home again. Small but important steps for us until we get to Europe.
John Booth, Virgin team principal
Our focus for now is on gathering as much data as possible to plough back into the development cycle to ensure we can go on to make those bigger steps through the season. This round of long-haul races means there are few developments we can bring to the car until the next significant upgrade for Turkey. Our focus for now is on gathering as much data as possible to plough back into the development cycle to ensure we can go on to make those bigger steps through the season. This time last year we were struggling with reliability issues that were preventing us from finishing races. This year weve demonstrated that we are on top of that and that is a much better starting point to build upon. We know what we have to do, so whilst that work is taking place behind the scenes, the best job we can do is to keep bringing cars home and focusing on smaller incremental steps. After the cool temperatures in Australia, we now move on to Kuala Lumpur where the fierce heat and humidity are a major challenge for cars and drivers up and down the grid. The Monsoon-type downpours that we see - and which we have stopped races in the past - also represent a good opportunity as they displace the usual order and turn things into a bit more of a lottery - good for us and good for the fans. The Sepang International Circuit has two very long straights, an elevation change and fast corners which make the racing good fun for the drivers. Of course nobody has run the Pirelli tyres in the kind of temperatures we are likely to experience in Sepang. In Melbourne we did not have the degradation levels we had been expecting after the tests in Spain, and it may well be that there will be another surprise in store in Malaysia. Timo is an old hand here but it will be Jeromes first time at Sepang, and not only will he have the circuit to learn - which he has been doing on the simulator - he will also have his first experience of driving a full Grand Prix distance in the Malaysian heat and humidity.
Lewis Hamilton, McLaren
2010 Qualifying - 20th, 2010 Race - 6th
Sepang is a circuit I really love. Its big, fast and wide with some really demanding high-speed corners where you can find a lot of time if youre really able to get the car working to its full extent. After the pace we showed in Melbourne, I think we can have another good race in Malaysia. Albert Park is a great track, but a circuit like Sepang is where the differences between the cars will start to become clearer. Im really looking forward to using KERS Hybrid and the DRS too - the rapid change of direction you experience when the car is really in the groove is phenomenal around here, and I think both systems will make the cars look sensational, especially in qualifying. The team have looked into the floor failure we experienced in Melbourne: it seems like the bond between the bib and the chassis was damaged so the damage looked quite bad by the end of the race. It was good to see that the car could withstand that sort of punishment, but, even so, Im looking to give it an easier ride in Malaysia next week!
Jenson Button, McLaren
2010 Qualifying - 17th, 2010 Race - 8th
When I started in Formula One, the Malaysian Grand Prix was one of the newest events on the Grand Prix calendar, but it now feels like an old favourite. I think Sepangs a circuit thats definitely improved with age: its always been a great track, but it feels like its grown into its own skin now, and is all the better for it. This is a track where you need a very efficient car - the corners here are big and will punish any car that lacks downforce. After Melbourne, when I really felt like I had a very solid car beneath me, Im looking forward to getting out in practice to see how our package can adapt to this circuit. Obviously, one of the main considerations for the drivers is to ensure were properly hydrated throughout the race weekend. Until youve been to Malaysia, you really cant appreciate what an oven it is - its the toughest race of the year physically, and a place where good base fitness carried over from the winter will stand you in good stead for the race. I won here in 2009 in some of the worst conditions Ive ever experienced in a racing car - it was like driving through a river at some spots. Whatever the weather throws at us this year, I think we can have another strong weekend.
Martin Whitmarsh, McLaren team principal
Sepang is a demanding, high-speed circuit that is likely to showcase the performance of those cars with the best levels of grip and downforce, and which can best manage the tyres at what will be their hottest and toughest test so far. It goes without saying that Malaysia will be hot. Its not only a severe test of each cars cooling solutions, and with track temperatures expected to be between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius higher than anything else weve seen this year, tyre management will also be crucial. As with every season, were pushing hard to bring developments to the car for every race. We dont think Melbourne showed us the best of our competitors pace, so that only makes us more motivated to bring as much performance to the table as possible. On paper, it looks positive: we were pleased that our Melbourne upgrade worked as expected, and the cars performance around the high-speed elements of Albert Park suggests it will be able to cope around Sepang. Despite this, the reality is that there was a gap to pole position, and we finished second and not first. Our target is to close that gap and get Lewis and Jenson into a position where they can win.
Kamui Kobayashi, Sauber
2010 Qualifying - 9th, 2010 Race - DNF
I have good memories of the Sepang circuit since it was there I managed to get into the final qualifying session last year for the first time. After our good performance in Melbourne we are, of course, very motivated for the next race. The guaranteed higher temperatures in Malaysia, though, will make a big difference. I especially expect the tyre degradation to be significantly higher there, so this might result in different race strategies. Another challenge could be if we get a wet race, as this happens quite often in Malaysia. But we are now very confident about our performance after what we did in Melbourne. I hope we can continue like that with our pace. The circuit is nice with a couple of high speed corners, and the layout offers more overtaking opportunities than we had in Albert Park.
Sergio Perez, Sauber
2010 Qualifying - n/a, 2010 Race - n/a
Of course Im very motivated and looking forward to what will be my second Formula One race. I think we have a good car. It is quick enough to aim for points and it was reliable. I hope we can keep this consistency and do more good races. Now after I have my debut Grand Prix weekend behind me I know a lot better what to expect in qualifying and the race, and this gives me even more confidence. I know the Sepang circuit from a GP2 Asia race in 2009. It is physically very demanding and also quite technical. Because the circuit is long it is difficult to get a lap right there.
James Key, Sauber technical director
Its going to be an interesting event in Malaysia after the excitement of the first race. The weather conditions could well play a significant role during the weekend. It may be very hot with another step up in track temperature, and this will be new to everyone and the tyres. Or it could be wet, which would be a completely unfamiliar situation. So we have to see what happens and try to get the best out of whatever we face. Sepang is more of a typical F1 circuit compared to Melbourne with sweeping high speed corners and some long straights that will make it interesting for overtaking. There are also some tight corners like one and two, as well as the hairpin at the end of the lap. They are all quite tricky corners. The car will have some updates with some new bodywork at the rear and some new brake duct developments. We are looking forward to a strong result.

Selection Criteria
The Research Scholars Program exists to encourage faculty to conduct new, high quality research with an emphasis on family business dimensions. Research may involve a broad range of issues and methodologies including theoretical, empirical, and case studies.
The goal of the Research Scholars Program is to help expand the family business body of knowledge, initially in the academic realm, then to consultants and texts. The Research Scholars Program is designed to stimulate new quality research that may not develop without the support, or at least not as quickly.
The ultimate criterion is the contribution likely to be made to the family business literature as measured by publication within the leading academic journals, a guideline the referees will be using.
Consequently, applicants should present information that will convey that their research will be likely to be publishable and completed within one year's time. To help in the review process, all proposals must include the following sections:
- A description of the project
- The research objectives
- Justification or need for the study
- A brief literature review
- Methodology
- A project timeline
- General outline for the use of funds
- Referred journals targeted for publication
If you have additional questions, please refer to the FAQ section or send an email to the Family Owned Business Institute at firstname.lastname@example.com. |

Luna Leopold
Luna Bergere Leopold (October 8, 1915 in Albuquerque, New Mexico – February 23, 2006 in Berkeley, California) was a leading U.S. geomorphologist and hydrologist, and son of Aldo Leopold. He received a B.S. in Civil Engineering from the University of Wisconsin, Madison in 1936; an M.S. in Physics-Meteorology from the University of California, Los Angeles in 1944; and a Ph.D. in Geology from Harvard University in 1950.[1]
Leopold is widely known in his primary field for his multitude of work in fluvial geomorphology and for the classic book, Fluvial Processes in Geomorphology, that he wrote with Gordon Wolman and John Miller.[2]
Leopold suggested that a new philosophy of water management is needed, one based on geologic, geographic, and climatic factors as well as traditional economic, social, and political factors. He argued that the management of water resources cannot be successful as long as it is naïvely perceived from an economic and political standpoint, as it is in the status quo.
From 1937 to 1940, Leopold worked as an engineer for the U.S. Soil Conservation Service in New Mexico. In 1940, he enlisted and was a part of the U.S. Army Weather Service and the Army Air Force. He was in the Army until 1946 and he rose from the rank of Private to Captain.
From 1946 to 1950, Leopold served as the Chief Meteorologist of the Pineapple Research Institute, Hawaii. In 1950, he joined the U.S. Geological Survey. He worked for the USGS until 1972 serving as Hydraulic Engineer (1950–56), Chief Hydrologist (1956–66), and Senior Research Hydrologist (1966–72).
In 1972, Leopold joined the faculty of the University of California, Berkeley as a professor in the Department of Geology and Geophysics and Department of Landscape Architecture. He retired in 1986 and continued as a Professor Emeritus until his death in 2006.

A police officer asks an Orthodox man to sign papers on Shabbat. He refuses. An observant woman trips on the sidewalk and a passing policeman offers to help her. She won't take his hand.
The above behaviors are not intended to be disrespectful. The Orthodox do not sign papers on Shabbat. Obeying the laws of modesty, an Orthodox woman may only touch her husband, male blood relatives and women.
But what if law enforcement officials observe only the behaviors without understanding the motivation?
Earlier this month, Rabbi Tzvi Steinberg of the West Side's Zera Abraham was one of the speakers at a diversity training session at the police academy to put any misconceptions in their proper context.

When there's danger, sometimes, it's just best to let things go. If I hadn't known that before this day, I sure knew it now.
I was 'lucky' enough to live close to my elementary school. The part of the day that had always scared me was this: riding down Main Street on my little bike. My parents didn't exactly have high paying jobs; in retrospect, we were lucky enough to even have a place to stay.
My mother always had to work in the afternoon to keep at least a few measly dollars. And as for my dad? Well, he had a problem in and of itself. It wasn't something I enjoyed thinking about, for it always brought tears to my eyes. But it was a reason for a lot of my misfortune as a young girl, but also cause for a lot of joy.
Family problems shoved aside, I had to ride my bike every day, since the bus didn't make a direct trip to my house. For some reason, taking a trip down Main Street of Coldwater, Kansas was completely out of the way. I'd always guessed that was because I was the only student living on that street, but in all reality, the inner city was rated high in crime… and poverty.
I rode my two-wheeler down the street, sheltering my head from passersby, simply because I was shy. The idea of some stranger walking up or even being introduced to me was nauseating. I could see it then: 'Aww! What a cute little girl we have here!' I'd had little experience with meeting people, or even seeing people, for that matter. Therefore, I'd come to regard my mother and father as my only sense of salvation, and everyone else… well they were just that: strangers.
I did, however, manage to smile at my own sheepish behavior as I rolled my bike around the final turn toward my little house. It was just in my line of view; the little cottage-looking home that I'd grown to love.
And that's when I heard it.
The blood-curdling screech came from the alley in front of me. All of my instincts screamed at me: Don't do that! You crazy little girl! You've been told to go straight home after school. I ignored that feeling, common curiosity and complete and utter recklessness shining from within. I pulled my bike over beside the alley's entryway and started in on foot. The idea of a pack of wolves attacking someone vaguely crossed my mind, yet I passed that off as leftover fear from last night's horror movie. I really needed to stop watching those, I told myself.
Whatever movie I had previously watched could never have prepared me for this. I ducked behind an empty trash bin just inside the alley. Again, those instincts screamed out at me. Aimee, GO HOME!
There was an older girl laying in the dead-end of the alley. She was... covered in something, though it was too dark for me to tell what it was. It was liquid and it pooled around her. Death came to my mind, but I crossed it off, knowing that was only in vampire movies.
Then, sudden reality hit. I was no longer twelve years old. I was an adult, at least in the sense of sight. I realized then that I had seen and heard already more than my parents, even more then most adults. For right now, I was witnessing a murder.
I couldn't see the features of the hurt one, but I saw suddenly a young woman enter from around the back corner of the dead-end. I hadn't even known about that entrance, but then again, I'd never had to be summoned into this deep hole before. The woman didn't notice me at first, simply because I wouldn't let her. I jumped back even further behind the dumpster, scared out of my wit.

Why Do People Take Hallucinogenic or Dissociative Drugs?
Hallucinogenic and dissociative drugs have been used for a variety of reasons.4,5 Historically, hallucinogenic plants have been used for religious rituals to induce states of detachment from reality and precipitate "visions" thought to provide mystical insight or enable contact with a spirit world or "higher power." More recently, people report using hallucinogenic drugs for more social or recreational purposes, including to have fun, help them deal with stress, or enable them to enter into what they perceive as a more enlightened sense of thinking or being. Hallucinogens have also been investigated as therapeutic agents to treat diseases associated with perceptual distortions, such as schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder, and dementia.

The Orphans' Court Division is responsible for adjudicating a wide range of matters and the name of the Court is derived from the more general definition of "orphan", not the more common parlance of a child whose parents are deceased. Instead, the purpose of the Orphans' Court is to protect the personal and property rights of all persons and entities that may not be otherwise capable of handling their own affairs. Included under this rubric are minors, incapacitated persons, decedents estates, nonprofit corporations and trusts – both inter vivos (between the living) and testamentary. The Orphans' Court is the arbiter of any dispute or issue that may arise in connection to the application for a marriage license through the Philadelphia Marriage License Bureau. It is the role of the Court, in any of these matters, to ensure that the best interests of the person or entity are not compromised. It has been a longstanding tenet of the Orphans' Court to provide access to the courts for those who may lack the ability to defend or represent themselves.
Specifically, but not limited to the following list, the Orphans' Court Division has the authority to appoint guardians for both minors and incapacitated persons, adjudicate disputes over the administration of decedent's estates including approving accounts of administrators/executors, resolve appeals from the Register of Wills ("will contests"), handle inheritance and estate tax disputes and approve civil settlements involving minor plaintiffs and/or estates.
Starting in January 2001, newly appointed Administrative Judge O'Keefe initiated several projects designed to not only build on the basic principles that have guided the Orphans' Court since its creation in 1683, but to improve upon that foundation and guide the Court into the 21st Century. Most important toward achieving these goals was to upgrade the technological capabilities of the Orphans' Court.
On July 1, 2001, the Orphans' Court debuted its new case management and docketing system. The Banner System, similar to that used in the Trial Division - Civil, has allowed the Court to better track case flow, accumulate statistics and projections and dispose of matters at a quicker rate then ever before. In addition, attorneys now have access to dockets, hearing and conference schedules and audit lists via the internet.
The Orphans' Court web site has seen marked improvement since January 2001. In an effort to make practice in the Orphans' Court more user friendly and spurred by interest from the Probate Section of the Philadelphia Bar Association, the Court has continuously added helpful resources to the web site including official court forms, unofficial sample forms, reference materials and both the Supreme Court Orphans' Court Rules and the Philadelphia County Orphans' Court Rules
The History of Orphans' Court
Philadelphians can take pride in the fact that Orphans' Courts have been held in this City since 1683. They can further take pride in the able and distinguished jurists who have sat as Judges of those Courts. The current Judges of this Division continue a long and illustrious tradition.
King Charles II granted the province of Pennsylvania to William Penn by Royal Charter dated March 4, 1681. William Penn came to Pennsylvania in October of 1682 and called a General Assembly. See Section 1, pages 11-12 of The Pennsylvania Manual, Volume 112 (December, 1995) Sitting at Chester, on December 7, 1682, the first General Assembly of the Province of Pennsylvania enacted the 77th Law which provided that the justices of each County Court should sit, "....to inspect and take care of the estates, usage, and employment of orphans, which shall be called the Orphans' Court * * * That care may be taken for those, that are not able to take care for themselves." See Opinion by Trimble, P.J., in Harton's Estate (No. 2), 86 P.L.J. 18, at page 21 (1938). "It is probable, that both the name and jurisdiction of this court were borrowed from the Court of Orphans of the city of London, which had the care and guardianship of children of deceased citizens of London, in their minority, and could compel executors to file inventories, and give security for their estates." See Opinion by Justice Sergeant in the matter of Wimmer's Appeal, 1 Wh. 95, 101 (1835).
The Orphans' Court of Philadelphia County was organized as a separate court of record under the Constitution of 1874, on January 4, 1875, and consisted of three judges. Three more judges were added, one each, in 1887, 1907 and 1927. Judge Allen M. Stearne and Judge Grover C. Ladner rose to become Justices of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. Judge Charles Klein was appointed to the Court on December 24, 1934, and, became President Judge on January 14, 1952. Judge Klein served as the last President Judge of the Orphans' Court of Philadelphia County, and, the first Administrative Judge of the Orphans' Court Division of the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County. By constitutional amendment, effective January 1, 1969, the separate Orphans' Court of Philadelphia County was abolished and became the Orphans' Court Division of the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County.

One New England family's daily experiences on the Civil War home front and battlefield, through never-before-published diaries and letters
Write Quick War and a Woman's Life in Letters, 1835–1867
Edited by Ann Fox Chandonnet and Roberta Gibson Pevear 572 pages, with more than 150 photographs, illustrations, maps, and index ISBN 978-0-9789736-8-1, hardcover $59.95 USD
Amid the gathering clouds of war, far from the nation's centers of power, two American families felt the first ripples on the breeze. Andrew Bean, a teacher and farmer from small-town Bethel, Maine, answered the call to the Union infantry. His younger sister Eliza, having found both employment and a suitable marriage in the bustling mill city of Lowell, Massachusetts, soon saw her husband, Henry Foster, enlist as well. In more than 150 revealing letters dispatched from camp and field and home front, as well as Eliza Bean Foster's own diary, the honors and horrors of war play out on an intimate stage. Seldom does a surviving cache of documents illuminate the full span of the antebellum and war years in such close detail, from so many different angles. While Andrew wrote from the eastern battlefields of Bull Run and South Mountain, Henry posted lines from New Orleans, Fort Monroe, and Sabine Pass in the Western Theater. Eliza's replies describe children and family—and sometimes desperate circumstances. "I have a good mind to send this [money] right back," wrote Eliza to her brother near war's end. "I shant use it untill I hear from you. Write quick." Illustrated with more than 50 original documents and never-before-published photographs, the volume traces Eliza's life from New England mill girl, to young married woman and mother, to war widow and victim of consumption. Write Quick presents a valuable case history and a poignant story of one Northern woman through her own pen and the lens of her contemporaries.
Ann Fox Chandonnet (above right), a New England native and longtime Alaska resident, is the author of numerous books, including Alaska's Inside Passage (Fodor's, 2009). Her food history Gold Rush Grub (University of Alaska Press, 2005) won an Outstanding Book award from the American Association of School Librarians. She currently resides in the Hickory, N.C., area.
Roberta Gibson Pevear (above left), who spent thirty-five years in business administration and law before serving as a New Hampshire state representative, grew up in Eliza Bean Foster's hometown of Bethel, Maine, and attended Gould Academy. She lives in Exeter, N.H.

|In Chapter , "Genes, Freaks, DNA," author Sam Kean draws parallels between the lives of Gregor Mendel and Johannes Friedrich Miescher, who both made scientific discoveries that were truly ahead of their times.
In Chapter 8, "The Conspiratorial Move and the Struggle for Evidence-Based Medicine," author Nicoli Natrass explores the Internet's role in the rise of anti-science sentiment.
Conspiracy theories surrounding the global HIV/AIDS epidemic have cost thousands of lives. But science is fighting back.
In an essay entitled "Molecular Cut and Paste: The New Generation of Biological Tools," virologist William McEwan envisions a future where viruses are reprogrammed to become the workhorses of science and medicine.
The promise of viruses as biotech tools will help molecular biology fulfill its true potential.

Fight Back News Service is circulating the following June 30 statement from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
BY staff | Palestine | 5/08/10
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine strongly condemned the decision of the Higher Arab Monitoring Committee to support so-called "negotiations" with the racist extremist Netanyahu regime.
BY Hatem Abudayyeh | Palestine | 5/26/09
Israeli right-winger Benjamin Netanyahu, who stated that Israel did not "go far enough" in its 22-day invasion and massacre of 1400 Palestinians in Gaza earlier this year and who has never accepted even the possibility of an independent state for the Palestinians, is now the new prime minister.

Sebamed Moisturizing Body Lotion Reviews
This was a so-so product for me. It has a nice sweet scent (chamomile) and after applying, it dries quickly and makes your skin look clean and healthy. It's too light so you have to reapply if you want it too remain that way. it does little for sensitive-skinned people, though (like me). One day I had the worst skin irritation (because I'm photosensitive), but this didn't "soothe" my skin just as it promised. Now, I just use it as a foot lotion. — 2 years, 9 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 3 people said helpful

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I would like to meet with an oncology dietitian, but my doctor's office does not have one. How can I find someone in my area?
Katrina Claghorn, MS, RD, Registered Dietitian at the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
The American Dietetic Association has a "find a dietitian" page on their website. You can search by specialty area, just choose oncology from the list.
Oct 20, 2011 - U.S. veterans are more likely than the general population to have a nicotine dependency, especially if they've struggled with other substances, mental illness, or homelessness, but VA services may be underestimating the scope of the problem, according to research published in the November issue of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Preventing Chronic Disease.

About Louisiana Cemetery PreservationThis wiki
is set as a public space for community members, genealogists, geochachers, concerned citizens and organizations who would
like to locate and support the preservation of unknown, abandoned, historical
or endangered cemeteries in How to participate in Louisiana Cemetery PreservationDocumentation of your selected cemetery includes not only a transcript of those interred, but also photographs. Taking photographs will assist future generations and provide documentation of the condition of the cemetery currently, which is very important as cited by the majority of state preservation goals, artifact documentation. The LAGenWeb Gravestone Photograph Project discusses deteriorating headstones, and illegible inscriptions and epitaphs. Over a period of time this information is lost. Lost too, is the original state of the cemetery before some form of neglect, vandalism, or abandonment has taken place. To this end the Louisiana Gravestone Photograph Project has provided an area to submit a photograph of headstones and cemeteries. In addition to this project is the Louisiana Tombstone Transcription Project that provides links also to a few photographs of either particular headstones or cemeteries and additional transcripts of those interred. It is strongly suggested to provide photographs and transcripts to both of these projects in addition to providing the same to your local library or historical association. There are many cemeteries that are documented on various photo sharing websites on the internet. The wikispace offers a centralized location for all of this information to be accessed via the internet. In many of the transcripts from LAGenWeb it is noted of the cemeteries condition. Not only should these cemeteries be identified by local parish government officials, but the cemetery should also be reported to the Louisiana Cemetery Preservation mailing lists, Ancestry message board for Louisiana Cemetery Preservation, identified by Louisiana Cemetery Preservation wiki and blog, and local news media. In this manner, the cemeteries can be identified so that a project to restore, preserve and document can be achieved. Creating volunteer opportunitiesCreating volunteer opportunities in your local community is as simple as gathering a group of friends or family members and taking on the task yourselves. Church groups, clubs, and various organizations can also be contacted to spark an interest in a cemetery project. Here are a few other suggestions: involve local history commissions, organizations, genealogy groups, church groups, notify mailing lists, transcribers, genealogy societies, history societies, newspapers, LA Dept. of Culture Recreation and Tourism, Louisiana Cemetery Preservation, Save Our Cemeteries, and consult with the Louisiana Cemetery Board to see if the cemetery in question is under its jurisdiction or within a particular cemetery district. When you have created a cemetery project please update the wiki with your contact information, the specific cemetery, parish location and begin to blog about your cemetery project at the Louisiana Cemetery Preservation blog. Once you have joined the Louisiana Cemetery Preservation wiki, send an email to email@example.com to be included as a contributor to the Louisiana Cemetery Preservation blog. There are many volunteer opportunities in Louisiana Cemetery Preservation

Two Ways Swell Statistics, Winter: All Swell – Any Wind
This picture illustrates the range of swells directed at Two Ways through an average northern hemisphere winter, based on 5736 NWW3 model predictions since 2006 (values every 3 hours). The wave model does not forecast wind or surf right at the shore so we have chosen the optimum grid node based on what we know about Two Ways. In this particular case the best grid node is 36 km away (22 miles).
The rose diagram describes the distribution of swell sizes and swell direction, while the graph at the bottom shows the same thing but without direction information. Five colours show increasing wave sizes. The smallest swells, less than 0.5m (1.5 feet), high are coloured blue. These were forecast only 48% of the time. Green and yellow show increasing swell sizes and red illustrates the largest swells, greater than >3m (>10ft). In each graph, the area of any colour is proportional to how often that size swell occurs.
The diagram indicates that the dominant swell direction, shown by the largest spokes, was SSE, whereas the the most common wind blows from the N. Because the wave model grid is away from the coast, sometimes a strong offshore wind blows largest waves away from Two Ways and out to sea. We group these with the no surf category of the bar chart. To keep it simple we don't show these in the rose diagram. Because wind determines whether or not waves are surfable at Two Ways, you can load a different image that shows only the swells that were forecast to coincide with glassy or offshore wind conditions. In a typical northern hemisphere winter, swells large enough to cause good for surfing waves at Two Ways run for about 52% of the time.
IMPORTANT: Beta version feature! Swell heights are open water values from NWW3. There is no attempt to model near-shore effects. Coastal wave heights will generally be less, especially if the break does not have unobstructed exposure to the open ocean.

Fishing report for item #2717.
Fishing Report: We have been fishing a lot lately although the weather has been less than cooperative. All three boats have been running the past few days with a mix of wahoo and tuna. Yesterday I took out the Marshall crew. The day started out a little slow but kicked in Mid- morning. We put a 95lber. in the boat fairly quick then we got a double on which turned out to be a three hour fight for both fish. They weighed in at 179 and 176. Congrats to the anglers Bruce Mac. and Buck B. We have a construction company in from Utah to fish all week with us right now. We left out this morning staying in close due to the winds with little to show for our efforts. It looks like the winds will keep us inshore for the next couple of days. We have a few days left this season. At least one boat is open on most weekdays. The season will come and go quick so don't miss out. Capt. Damon McKnight Super Strike Charters 1 800 318 1720

In the past, this is how property owners paid for solar.
The home equity loan means that if a property owner stops paying the loan, the loan provider can take equity from his home to pay for the system. This this is more secure than an unsecured loan, it saves property owners thousands of dollars in loan payments.
A solar renewable energy credit is a certificate for renewable energy production. Since the government is talking about requiring companies to produce so much renewable energy, these companies have two options:

I need information about...
U.S. News & World Report released its annual Best Hospitals rankings. This year's Best Hospitals, the 23rd annual edition, showcases more than 720 of the nation's roughly 5,000 hospitals. Fewer than 150 are nationally ranked in at least one of 16 medical specialties. The rest of the recognized hospitals met a standard of performance nearly as demanding in one or more specialties.
"At Baylor Medical Center at Irving, we continue to build a foundation on quality and medical excellence," says Cindy Schamp, president, Baylor Medical Center at Irving. "Earning a #10 ranking reaffirms our commitment to positive patient outcomes through evidence-based care processes while continuing to provide safe, quality, compassionate care."
Hospitals ranked in metro areas are "high-performing" hospitals – those that aren't nationally ranked but perform nearly as well as their nationally ranked brethren in at least one specialty. Baylor Irving is high-performing in diabetes/endocrinology and neurology/neurosurgery. Last year, the hospital was ranked in only one specialty.
Hospitals which performed well in two or more specialties received a state ranking, a new category this year within annual Best Hospital rankings. Baylor Irving received a ranking of # 28 in Texas.
The hospital rankings, said U.S. News Health Rankings Editor Avery Comarow, are like a GPS-type aid to help steer patients to hospitals with strong skills in the procedures and medical conditions that present the biggest challenges. "All of these hospitals are the kinds of medical centers that should be on your list when you need the best care," said Comarow. "They are where other hospitals send the toughest cases."
The rankings were published by U.S. News in collaboration with RTI International, a research organization based in Research Triangle Park, N.C. Highlights of the 2012-13 rankings will appear in the U.S. News Best Hospitals 2013 guidebook, to go on sale in August. The complete rankings and methodology are available at http://health.usnews.com/best-hospitals.

General Tip
How to Read a Tripping Profile
Tripping isn't just about finding a place to stay - It's about making real connections with travelers and locals around the world. Taking the time to read profiles is the best way to learn about members and have positive experiences when you meet them.
Here are some tips we put together to help you learn how to read a Tripping profile and start connecting with the people who interest you.
What to look for in a Personal Description
It's always best to connect with members who have taken the time to fill out their profiles with detailed information about their background, lifestyle, interests and perspectives. After reading a descriptive profile, you'll have a better idea of a member's personality and be able to more accurately judge whether or not you'll enjoy spending time together.
It's always helpful to look for people with similar interests or backgrounds, but it can also be interesting to find members who are completely different from yourself. Just be sure that the differences have the potential to help you learn and grow. If a member writes something or expresses a particular view that just makes you upset, he or she probably isn't the right person for you to connect with.
What to look for in an About My House description
Trippers should always read this section thoroughly before sending a host request to a member. Make sure to look for important information about sleeping arrangements, house rules, and other details that may affect your stay.
How to Evaluate a Member's Rating
Anonymous Ratings are one of the most powerful tools to help you assess the reputability of a member. A good Rating is a strong indication that a member is trustworthy and safe to meet in-person. A low Rating means other members have had less than ideal experiences with that particular person, which is why we recommend you avoid connecting with members with low Ratings.
What to look for in References
References offer an important third-party perspective and give a vivid snapshot of what it might be like to meet a member in-person. References can help you make good decisions about who to connect with in the community, so take the time to read all of a member's References before meeting in-person.
For obvious reasons, references left by members who have met each other in-person offer more insight than References left by online acquaintances. Additionally, References from hosts or Trippers, as opposed to family and friends, can give you a better idea of how this member engages in hospitality exchange and the Tripping community.
Be extra cautious with members who have negative References. We have a trustworthy, respectful community, which means that if a member felt it was necessary to leave a negative References, it's probably something to which you should pay close attention.
Other things to pay attention to in profiles
If a picture says a thousand words, than a member's photo album could give you a novel's worth of information about his or her life. Looking at a member's photos can tell you a lot about his or her lifestyle and can help you more accurately imagine what it would be like to meet in-person.
Hosting Status
There are three hosting statuses available to our members - Yes, Maybe, and Not Now. It's important to note that members with a hosting status set to Maybe are still great potential hosts and are well worth reaching out to for travelers.
Additionally, members with a status set to Not Now are still engaged members of the community who love to answer questions about their hometown and culture or even meet up for drinks or coffee with locals and travelers alike.
Validation Status
Validation is a service we offer that allows members to confirm their identity and address through a face-to-face video chat with someone from the Tripping team. You can feel more confident meeting, hosting and staying with Validated Trippers because you know that they've confirmed their identity by showing us their passport and proof of address.

Reviews - Innkeeper's Lodge Harrogate (East), Knaresborough
3 | AA Assessed Hotel | Ratings explained |
The lodge is well placed for exploring the many charms of picturesque Knaresborough, historic Harrogate and unspoilt cathedral city Ripon. It's also an ideal base-camp for anyone wanting to immerse themselves in the Yorkshire Dales.
Along with 10 comfy en-suite rooms, there's a pub serving a tempting menu of hearty, seasonal food together with a range of cask ales and wines. It's so cosy you could end up cancelling the hiking and sightseeing in favour of a day eating and drinking instead.
But you wouldn't want to miss Harrogate's tourist treasures. Delve into antique shops, relax at the Turkish Baths, or sip a Darjeeling at Betty's iconic tearooms. Nearer home you can hunt out the cave of infamous Yorkshire witch Mother Shipton or marvel at the 30 acres of intriguing mineral formations at Plompton Rocks.

How do I use Draft State in Pages?
Draft State allows content in Pages to exist in an unpublished (draft) state. Unpublished content is invisible to students.
Note: If you use Modules in your course and add a Page to a Module, please be aware that the state of the Module overrides the state of all module items.
