UN/ISDR Holds Disaster Risk Management Training in Kenya
25 August 2010: The African regional office of the UN International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UN/ISDR) in Rift Valley Province, Kenya, held a pilot train-the-trainers workshop from 25-26 August 2010, which drew participants from several African countries.
Based on the feedback from the training workshop, a toolkit on disaster risk reduction (DRR) will be developed. The toolkit will be used in the whole African region to train communities on how to use local means and resources to adapt, mitigate and cope with hazards to prevent them from turning into disasters. According to UN/ISDR, recent events in Kenya have shown that the country is increasingly predisposed to disasters, such as floods, droughts, landslides, fires and the consequences of climate change. The training programme and toolkit aim to address the fact that, in Kenya, disasters are little understood, which impedes the country's implementation of DRR programmes.

SCOTTISH Opera yesterday unveiled a season of four major operas as its new director, Alex Reedijk, insisted the troubled company was "sorted".
Scottish Opera ceased full-scale opera productions for nearly a year and lost its permanent chorus in a major restructuring to pay off its debts.
Mr Reedijk said it was now in good shape financially. "We are solvent, we are stable, and it's my duty to keep it that way and to ensure that we continue to live within our means," he said.
The company would produce as many operas as it could and match spending and income. It was a myth opera companies had to go over budget, he said.
The entrepreneur Lord Irvine Laidlaw is paying a six-figure sum towards one of the four new productions, Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor.
However, the company's year-long search for a music director has still to bear fruit. Mr Reedijk said it had "got close to" three possible candidates, but one was offered another job and the others wanted to work with symphony orchestras, not operas.
The production of Lucia di Lammermoor will be directed by John Doyle, fresh from a major Broadway success with the musical Sweeney Todd.
"He is taking a fresh look at the work, and we are delighted to offer this opportunity to John," Mr Reedijk said.
Two operas in the 2006-7 season - Der Rosenkavalier and Madama Butterfly - are to be directed by David McVicar, who has recently produced major shows at the Royal Opera House and Glyndebourne.
The fourth main highlight in the line-up is Handel's Tamerlano. The first production of the opera in many years, it follows last year's triumph with the composer's Semele.
There is also a smaller touring production of Die Fledermaus.
Mr Reedijk, who moved from New Zealand Opera four months ago, said this year's programme had been mostly inherited, as productions were planned years in advance.
But he is now planning to commission new works from Scottish composers and lyricists, to present four or five short pieces in a festival-style show.
He said: "I'm passionate about new work, and Scotland has a rich musical and classical history and somewhere along the way we must set about rebuilding our Scottish Opera history."
The company is also to stage "aria adventures", with mini-recitals around Glasgow as part of the Merchant City Festival.
Mr Reedijk described Lord Laidlaw's gift as a sign of faith in the future of Scottish Opera and hoped others might follow suit.
Lord Laidlaw said: "As an opera-lover, I'm delighted to be investing in the future of our national opera company."
Curtain up...
Der Rosenkavalier shows in Glasgow in October and the Edinburgh Festival Theatre in November, along with Handel's Tamerlano.
Madama Butterfly and Lucia di Lammermoor open in Glasgow in March and May and come to the Edinburgh Festival Theatre in June 2007. The opera is launching a new 10 ticket for those aged under 26 and a four-operas-for-three subscription package.

The Ex Files
$4.99 Buy Now: Amazon | B&N | iTunes | Book View Cafe | Kobo
As an editor at a hip woman's magazine, Diana Hudson's job is to spot mistakes and erase them. But when her boss discovers she's been applying the same critical eye to her love life, she decides it's time for Diana to re-edit her style manual for love. She offers Diana the chance to write her first story for the magazine–the EX files–a series of articles about whether spending time with old flames can kindle new fires. For the aspiring writer it's an irresistible, though admittedly awkward, opportunity — especially when her photographer and BFF Nick is sent along to document whether "Mr. Wrong Then" might be "Mr. Right Now…" But as Nick focuses his lens on Diana's love life, she's not the only one who begins to see things from a different angle…
I'm delighted to introduce my first blog novel, all polished and edited for sale. This novel had a rocky beginning — I asked myself "What if a woman had to go back and examine all her exes to see if she overlooked Mr. Right?" Would she find out there were some Mr. Could Have Beens in the group? Relationships are tough enough without having to worry that you've missed a diamond in the rough. And — because I'm a fiction writer and the chicklit craze was as hot as the hot water heroines like Bridget Jones had to swim in — what if she had to explore that question and write about it to please her very demanding boss and the readers of the hippest woman's magazine in Manhattan? If you want to read it in beta blog form,
And then the chicklit genre dried up and became The Genre Which Must Not Be Named for a decade.
And then the ebook revolution occurred, my daughter got engaged, and I finished the book for her as a wedding present (I sent her the initial chapters in her Peace Corps care packages when she was in Madagascar).
I hope you love Diana as much as I do. I even love her exes. Kissing frogs is necessary business for a woman who wants to find Mr. Right. One woman's frog is another woman's Mr. Perfect, after all.
Oh, and if you want to read it in beta blog form, you can read it here: The Ex Files beta blog novel.
In the Beginning
Dear Female Eye Reader,
My editor tells me there has been much interest in my story, even before I officially begin to tell it. There has also been a bit of ridicule that I would be so naive as to imagine I could ever find a man who lived up to all of my Ten Commandments of Love and Marriage.
I disagree.
Before I begin the journey to revisit my exes to see if my Ten Commandments blinded me to a man who was perfect for me, I should at least let you know what they are:
- He shalt love me as he loves himself.
- He shalt not kill my dreams.
- He shalt not steal my confidence.
- He shalt not covet my attention.
- He shalt not skip date night.
- He shalt not complain about me to others.
- He shalt not lie to me.
- He shalt not covet porn.
- He shalt not cheat on me.
- He shalt honor family above all.
You may think these were written by a sixteen year old girl. You would be right. But even at thirty, I believe in them deep in my gut. I?m not even going to correct shalt to shall here, because that sixteen year old girl thought shalt was strong enough to convey just how unbreakable these commandments should be.
Are they too harsh? Revisit my exes with me and let your gut be the judge.
Diana Hudson
aka Queen of the Lists
List Not, Lest You Fall
I turned thirty at 4:06 a.m. Awake. Alone.
When I was twenty-one, I thought thirty would come in with a clap of thunder. Or at least with a surprise party thrown by my handsome and successful husband and attended by a hundred of my closest friends.
That had been my goal, my dream, my vision–number one on my to do list.
I sat up in the dark and double checked the date on my cell phone. Yep. Awake and alone at thirty. Sounded like the title of one of those self help books that tell women they have more of a chance of contracting ebola than finding a husband. Happy birthday to me.
My phone vibrated to let me know I had a text message. Happy Birthday! You're worth every stretch mark! See you when I get home. Mom.
Not exactly a clap of thunder, but close. 4:06 a.m. I considered calling to thank her. This hour of the morning was not made for hard labor. But she's in Africa on safari and chances are good that she asked my Dad to send the text right at 4:06 a.m. on the dot. She's like that.
The sound of a new text being delivered hit the silent darkness like an angry mosquito. Happy Birthday, Princess! Have a piece of cake for me when you wake up. Call you later. Dad.
He wouldn't call. He never called. He probably wouldn't have remembered to text me if Mom hadn't threatened him with dire consequences if he didn't send her text on time.
The third buzz was the charm. Y'up, B-girl? Emily.
I called her back.
She skipped hello. "It doesn't matter. You're better off waiting until you're thirty-five to get married anyway."
"That's not why I'm awake. There was an accident." The floor was cool on my bare feet when I slid out of bed. From the window, I could see the cars. One had a creatively trailing fender. No doubt the source of the horrendous scream of metal that had penetrated the soothing sounds of my white noise machine.
"Another one? Taxi or civilian?"
I squinted, looking down 14 floors to the street below. "A Beamer and an Audi. But everyone seems well enough to wave their hands in each others' faces."
"Civilians shouldn't be allowed to drive in the city."
"You know it. Phone shots?"
The thought was tempting. Too tempting. But if I admitted that, Emily would know that I had been obsessing over the fact my life plan would be majorly off track if I didn't get married in the next twenty-one hours. I decided to distract her. "Mom managed to send a text at exactly 4:06 a.m." The Beamer driver was now waving his arms at the cop on the scene. The Audi driver stood in the strobe of red and white looking like the bad guy in a mafia movie.
"From Africa?"
"Considering Dad texted me immediately afterward, I think she asked him to do it."
"I hope I'm that good a mother when my daughter turns thirty." Emily's voice held a wistful note. "You're so lucky."
Lucky. Sure. "You will be a great mother. When you have kids. I bet you'll be the kind of mother who doesn't even once contemplate celebrating your daughter's sixteenth birthday with an announcement that you're divorcing her father and reclaiming your life from the doldrums of family servitude."
"She loves you."
"In her way." The way that made her book a trip to Africa on 24 hours notice without considering she'd miss her daughter's thirtieth birthday. I put a note to call my mother when she got home on the running to do list I keep on my cell. The power of positive thinking got me through college with my eye on the goal, not on my tendency to run through roommates or wear out computers, keyboards, and printers. Surely it could help me overlook my mother's idiosyncrasy. She thought life plans were dangerous. Including mine.
As the tow truck moved away with the Beamer listing behind, I wondered if tow truck drivers and policeman thought like my mother. After all, they got to see a lot of life where planned and unplanned collided. Advantage unplanned. Me? I hated crossing things off the plan because the deadline had passed instead of because I'd accomplished the goal.
Emily offered, in a sleepy voice, "Don't cross anything off The Plan. Let me do it when we have dinner."
"Thanks. It's my plan. I'll do the crossing out, thank you very much."
"I'm your best friend. And it's your birthday."
"I can handle it. It isn't the first time my plans have hit a snag." I hadn't planned for my parents to get divorced, but I tried not to let it interfere with The Plan that was going to take me through college and into adult life with maximum success. At twenty-one, I'd graduated with a degree and a job offer thanks to The Plan. I hadn't seen any reason why my thirtieth birthday wouldn't offer the same satisfaction. I had made an inspiration board of my future: me in a close fitting wine colored suit (wine is a good color for my fair skin and red hair, contrary to those old wives' tales), raising a glass with a sheepish smile as my husband toasted me.
I hadn't been able to quite picture the husband–he was a tall blur in dark gray, tailored Armani whose voice rang out deep and sincere as he thanked me for the joy and organization I'd brought into his life, even while working hard to earn the Pulitzer for my articles on the lifestyles of modern women.
Crap. Happy birthday to me again. Two major goals missed.
"Are you sure? My life is all about arts and crafts. It could be my birthday gift to you, since you won't let me throw you a surprise party. One crossed out marriage deadline. No big deal."
"Two, actually. No article yet." Three if you counted the surprise party that Emily is planning that is definitely not a surprise. Not that she knew I knew.
Emily was silent for a moment, and then offered, "Would you like a smiley sticker? Or maybe a glitter star? We could cover those suckers up like they never existed."
"No glitter. No smiles. Save those for your students." It's not that my boss doesn't approve of the ideas I submit on a weekly basis—it's just that she thinks a staff writer can handle it better than I can, since I'm just an editor. Editing and writing have to be mixed carefully, she says, or the end result will resemble a Molotov cocktail.
Like the sleepy street cleared of mangled cars and irate drivers, my life seemed no different. I missed two major life goals on The Plan and I'm still standing. I forced a cheery tone. "At least I have the wine suit, even if I don't have the husband and career to match."
"That's the girl. Think positive. That suit makes you look serious, sexy and smart. No way will Dragon Lady refuse you the next article. I can feel it in my bones."
"That's called exhaustion. What are you doing awake anyway? Your kids will eat you alive if you don't get your eight hours." Emily taught kindergarten.
Another hesitation. "I will if you will."
"Deal." I'd find out what was keeping Emily the perpetually perky awake tomorrow, after I'd dealt with The Plan.
"Sure you don't want to do phone shots?"
"My head's already on the pillow," I lied. At thirty years and fifteen minutes old, I accepted that I wasn't going back to sleep.
"You never know, maybe something in The Plan will survive this birthday. You still have the rest of the day to go."
I resisted the urge to out her about the no-surprise surprise party she was planning for me. "You're not channeling a bad romcom are you? One where I meet and marry Mr. Right in one day?"
"No." She paused. "But Dragon Lady could always assign you the article on romantic camping vacations. You're pitching that one, today, right?"
"Fingers crossed. Now get some sleep so I don't have to hear all about a glitter catastrophe in the classroom at dinner tonight."
"Right. Simple. Just the four of us. Unless you want me to plan a surprise party?"
"Simple is good. See you tonight." I hung up. Emily is incapable of keeping a secret long enough to plan a surprise. She has not so subtly asked my restaurant, wine and food preferences over the last few weeks—several times, because she doesn't even keep a to do list. I don't hold that against her, though, because Emily takes after her kindergartners in many ways, and it is best to be as prepared for chaos as possible when she's around.

Optimization of a Test Rig Platform
Mechanical Solutions Incorporated designed a platform for testing axial fans at different speeds. The platform was designed to avoid any natural frequencies within the test speed range of the fans. A number of design iterations were required until a design was proposed that could satisfy the frequency criteria (safety margin from major excitation sources) without creating an excessively large and heavy structure.

Reconstruction of Tullio's Adam
On November 10, 2014, The Metropolitan Museum of Art unveiled a reconstructed statue of Adam, created by 15th-century Renaissance sculptor Tullio Lombardo. In 2002, the pedestal on which the statue was displayed collapsed and Adam fell to the floor, breaking into 28 large pieces and hundreds of small fragments. What followed was a twelve-year effort that has in many ways changed the world of monumental stone sculpture conservation.
Liquid Storage Bag Fill Analysis
CAE Associates determined that finite element models could be developed to do this quickly and efficiently. FEA models of seamed polymer bags were developed with the ANSYS Workbench/LS-Dyna software that simulated the process of filling the bags with a liquid in a specific orientation. This software was selected because it is best-suited to solving and predicting the highly nonlinear behavior associated with the motion of flexible membranes and fabrics.
ANSYS Automation using Excel
IBM desired a quick and user-friendly method for designing and analyzing their rack cabinets. Traditional methods took too long and required an experienced ANSYS user to properly build the models. Instead, they wanted to provide input in Microsoft Excel and have it automatically build and analyze the cabinet in ANSYS. IBM chose CAE Associates based on their expertise with the ANSYS software as well as their many years of experience in developing customized, automated ANSYS routines and processes.
Clevis Kinematic Assessment with ANSYS
A standard connection, used to allow relative rotational motion between parts commonly consists of two clevises connected by a pin. Typical use would allow for an easy extraction of the pin to separate the parts; however after an accident condition, extracting the pin or rotating the parts could prove difficult. A clevis geometry sample was created for the purpose of both physical and analytical testing to determine the expected loads to operate the hinge. The intent of the analytical work was to provide a validated and reliable means of predicting the response of a clevis after an accident event.
VTOL Vehicle Design and Development
Morgan Aircraft is developing a breakthrough technology for Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) aircraft. By using an innovative propulsion system, the VTOL aircraft is designed to be a passenger aircraft that can take off and land from virtually any location. Knowing that precise prediction of aerodynamic performance and stability is critical to the success of the program, Morgan Aircraft requested CAE Associates to lead the research and simulation effort.

Jerry Kelly is coming to New Orleans to defend his Zurich Classic of New Orleans title and he's bringing a good friend from Wisconsin with him - Steve Stricker, the No. 2-ranked golfer in the world.
Kelly spoke at Zurich Classic media day Monday at the downtown Drago's along with Fore!Kids Foundation President Tommy Fonseca, who announced that Stricker and former major champions David Toms, Mike Weir and David Duval all will be competing at TPC Louisiana from April 22-25. Fonseca said he's still talking with Phil Mickelson, Ian Poulter, Sergio Garcia and Justin Rose, among others, about playing in New Orleans. The field won't be finalized until April 16.
Kelly ended a seven-year victory drought on the PGA Tour with his one-shot victory over Charles Howell III, Rory Sabbatini and Charlie Wi last year in the Zurich Classic. Kelly made a 3-foot par putt on the 18th hole to wrap up a final-round 1-under-par 71 and the tournament title. Stricker was sitting greenside to cheer on his good friend.
"We try to be there for each other," Kelly said Monday.
The two partnered to win the Shark Shootout at the end of 2009, putting a nice touch on an excellent year for both players. Kelly earned more than $2.5 million in official money and finished 22nd in FedEx Cup standings. Stricker won three times and earned $6.3 million while finishing third in the FedEx Cup. He's gotten off to a strong a start in 2010, winning the Northern Trust Open.
Kelly, who had a plate of char-broiled oysters in front of him at the news conference, says he's always felt at home in New Orleans, even though it's a long way from his native Wisconsin.
"Definitely some of my favorite people in the world are right here," he said. "And the food doesn't hurt."

Whassup: Say Everything Edition
Somehow, I admit it, I ended up watching the Golden Globes, and maybe that was a waste of time, though it is always pretty cool to see Tina Fey and Amy Poehler do their comedy thing, and Tommy Lee Jones was unintentionally pretty hilarious, but the real point is that maybe everything you do teaches you something, and there's always a lesson to be learned, and I'm very attracted to Jodie Foster, so watching her speech has given me total permission to just fucking ramble on and somehow, people will find it meaningful, so there you have it. Welcome to Whassup: Say Everything Edition:
* Friday, Jan. 18: Rabbi Darkside, Paper Box (Williamsburg): I was introduced to the MC Rabbi Darkside, at a John Lennon sing-a-long at Roots Cafe in South Slope. While the other musicians capably covered and interpreted the Christ-insultingest Beatle's work, the Rabbi ripped apart and reconstituted "Happiness is a Warm Gun" via live, looped beat boxing. Then, he rapped over the top of that, creating a pretty amazing new piece from the old standard. I'm just kinda taking a flying chance here that the rest of his stuff is just as intelligent, creative and "ooh"-inspiring. Headlining above the Rabbi are Brooklyn indie rapper Soul Khan and Philly soul/hip-hop fuser Kuf Knotz. 7pm Doors, $10-15.
* Saturday, Jan. 19: "Pretty in Pink" Novelization, Union Hall: Seriously, it rarely fails to raise a laugh when reading drivel in a serious and overly dramatic manner. That shit's never-fail comedy gold, on par with over-analyzing pop-song lyrics and wacky sit-com neighbors. So, this should be pretty fun: a dramatic reading of the script to Molly Ringwald's "Pretty in Pink," one of the main reasons I spent the '80's smitten by redheads. 7:30pm, $5.
* Saturday, Jan. 19: Brooklyn What Record Release, Public Assembly (Williamsburg): A real-life NYC band, the Brooklyn What kids have been pounding power chords since they first exited their mother's wombs RIGHT HERE IN BROOKLYN (well, prolly more like ever since they went to middle school RIGHT HERE IN BROOKLYN). They party-rock like it's their job, and so will you, 'specially if you like to mosh and suchwhat. 8:30pm, $8.
* Sunday, Jan. 20: "Print Collaboration" Lecture, 440 Gallery: The 440 Gallery wants to learn your brain for you, with a series of Sunday lectures -- all at 4:40 (get it?). That's right, you've got twenty minutes to prepare for class. This Sunday, master printmaker Kathy Caraccio teaches your whole brain all about collaboration in the printmaking process. Look at all your gorgeous grey matter. 4:40-6pm, FREE.
* Sunday, Jan. 20: TV Night, Videology (Williamsburg): This video store-cum-screening bar gives you all the Lena Dunham you need, adding "Girls" to its Sunday night screenings. The show we're all supposed to be talking about (I guess) joins "Downton Abbey," already on the docket, and presumably sneering in aristocratic disapproval of Lena. 8:30pm, FREE.
* Monday, Jan. 21: MLK Tribute, BAM: It's actually possible to be non-cynical and spend the holiday honoring Dr. King in the intended way, i.e., remembering the Reverend, not shopping for deals. Not that I'm trying to guilt-trip you, I'm just pointing that out. I'll just set here in the dark. Harry Belafonte gives a talk, while the Brooklyn Interdenominational Choir sings Dr. King's praises. (Pick up the free, first come-first served tickets starting at 8am.) 10:30am, FREE.
* Wednesday, Jan. 23: Planet Money Live, Bell House: Wanna peer behind the money-colored curtain, and see how the finance sausage gets made? Wanna find out just how mega-fucked in Park Slope (or anywhere else in America) we all are? Careful with your answer -- you can't un-learn this stuff. This live version of the NPR money segment will tackle the topic, "Is America Screwed?" At best, I think, the answer begins with an "m." Prepare your angry face. 8pm, $12.

Syracuse, NY – Once the offer was made, Poncho Barnwell didn't hesitate.
The defensive end from Rochester's East High School made a verbal commitment Wednesday to play football for Syracuse University starting in 2012.
Barnwell, who is 6-foot-4 and 220 pounds, became the sixth player to commit to the Orange's class of 2012.
"He's excited to go to Syracuse. When the offer was presented to him, he jumped on it right away. He gave the verbal right away," Rochester East football coach Brigandi said.
Barnwell played in five of nine games, recording 31 tackles and making seven sacks, his coaches said. He was named second-team All-Greater Rochester.
Though he missed half of the season last fall with an ankle injury, Barnwell apparently impressed SU coaches on Sunday with his performance at a camp for high school players the Orange held in Buffalo.
"I think Poncho performed as advertised there," Brigandi said. "He had a good showing there."
Sean Banks, Rochester East's defensive coordinator, said SU coaches had been recruiting Barnwell for a long time, but the scholarship offer didn't come until Wednesday, from Orange defensive coordinator Scott Shafer.
"They've been recruiting him real hard. They really feel in love with him this past Sunday," Banks said. "He's a real physical kid with a high motor."
Banks said Barnwell's speed is a positive. He has run a 4.6-second 40-yard dash and is a good pass rusher. His large frame will also allow Barnwell to put on weight and muscle, Banks said.
"He hasn't really been in the weight room a lot, but once he gets in a conditioning program he's going to blow up," he said.
Barnwell had scholarship offers from Akron and Buffalo, but Banks said the player was also getting interest and camp invitations from Connecticut, Rutgers and Massachusetts.
One of the reasons Barnwell was under the radar, Banks said, was that he has struggled in the classroom.
"He has some issues with his grades," Banks said. "He's gotten a little better, but he still has some work to do. That's why he hasn't gotten a ton of offers."
Banks said the SU scholarship offer should motivate Barnwell to improve his grades.
Another factor in Barnwell's decision to wear Orange is that he wanted to stay close to home.
"And he really bought into the whole thing with (SU coach Doug) Marrone, about New York kids – you play at Syracuse and play with pride in New York," Banks said.

Catholicate Day Celebrations at Mar Gregorios Orthodox Maha Edavaka, Muscat
MUSCAT: Mar Gregorios Orthodox Maha Edavaka, Muscat was blessed with the presence of His Grace Dr Abraham Mar Seraphim, Metropolitan head of Bangalore Diocese, on April 15, 2011, the 40th Friday of the Great Lent.
The Metropolitan who was the chief celebrant of the Holy Eucharist delivered an eloquent and meaningful sermon from Matthew 4:1-11 on the temptations of Jesus by the Devil.
Later at the Catholicate Day celebrations, Dr Mar Seraphim in his inspiring address called upon the laity to focus on missionary work which will serve as a backbone for the Malankara Orthodox community. His Grace voiced his deep concern in this aspect and made a call for missionary work to be taken up seriously.
On this occasion, Dr Mar Seraphim urged the Orthodox community to extend their whole-hearted support and committment to its supreme head, the Catholicos and the causes it stood for. The young Metropolitan also stressed on upholding the holy sacraments of the church and suggested considering seperate 'budgeting' of funds towards the Catholicate Day collections.
The Metropolitan recalled how during his young days at Pathanamthitta (Kerala), Catholicate Day celebrations were celebrated with pomp and glory and wanted the same 'energetic' spirit' among the younger generation.
Felicitating the Metropolitan, Abraham Mathew (Trustee), said the Muscat Maha Edavaka was honoured to host Dr Mar Seraphim who was also known as a fierce orator.
Also present include Fr Varghese George, Cherian P Thomas (Co-Trustee), Biju Parumala (Secretary) and Jacobs Kuriakose (Sabha Managing Committee Member).
The Catholicate pledge was read out by Fr P K Thomas and repeated by the parishioners.
Sunday School choir melodiously rendered the Catholicate Managala Ganam. The short function concluded with a vote of thanks from the parish trustee.

Heineken raises beer war to another level
Heineken has added spice into the battle for the control of Asia Pacific Breweries (APB) with the "final" offer of $53 per APB share held directly and indirectly by Fraser & Neave (F&N).
In a statement released at the evening of August 17, Heineken said that it also signed definitive agreements with F&N, which bind the latter of irrevocable recommendation to shareholders for the share sale and the extraordinary shareholder meeting to consider the transaction within a pre-defined timetable.
"I am pleased that F&N's Board has agreed that our increased offer, which is now final, represents excellent value for F&N and APB shareholders. I would like to thank Chairman Lee for the role he has played in securing this important agreement. Our Asian headquarters will continue to be based in Singapore, and we remain 100 per cent committed to the growth and success of APB and the Tiger brand, just as we have been for the last 81 years," said Heineken Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jean-François van Boxmeer.
The total cash value at S$5.6 billion shows an increase of S$307 million from the previous offer, announced before Thailand's tycoon Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi made a move to take a bigger stake in APB, the brewer of Tiger and Anchor beer, among others.
Kindest Group Places, owned by Charoen's son-in-law, two weeks ago offered to buy another 7 per cent in APB for the price of S$55 per share, which was 10 per cent higher than Heineken's previous offer made on July 20. If able to buy additional shares, Kindest Place will hold 15 per cent in APB, the move which will challenge Heineken as Charoen also owns a majority stake in Thai Beverage Plc, the Thai brewer of Chang beer.
Kindest Place's move raised speculation that it forced Heineken to offer a higher bid, to fend off ThaiBev's influence in APB, which has been a major marketing arm in Asia Pacific for the Dutch brewer in the past 80 years. The bid was raised though Heineken was previously convinced that its offer for F&N was better: though its offer was lower than Kindest Place's, it covered all shares held by F&N - not just the 7 per cent portion.
Heineken said in the statement that it will not further raise the bid, and "believes that it provides compelling value to both F&N and APB shareholders.The Final Offer represents a premium of 54 per cent over the one-month volume weighted average price per APB share¹ and a P/E multiple of 35.1 times for the last twelve months ending June 30, 2012."
If it succeeds, Heineken Group will hold an 81.6 per cent stake in APB and gain control of APB's business. It will then make a mandatory general offer in accordance with the Singapore Code on Take-overs and Mergers, for all the shares of APB that the Heineken group does not already own. If all such shares were tendered, the total cash consideration for the MGO would be S$2.5 billion.
Stock analysts believed that Charoen's group stands to win through the acquisition of a 26 per cent stake in F&N and another 8 per cent in APB. Without control in APB, it could still benefit from F&N's extensive regional business network as well as reap a financial gain as Heineken raised the bid.
A source from ThaiBev earlier insisted that the group really wanted to establish partnership with F&N and APB, as a shortcut for its regional expansion.
It was reported that ThaiBev has been in talks with several Thai banks for the financing.
Siam Commercial Bank President Kannikar Chalitaporn however said last week that her bank has not been approached by the group.

In an interview with ESPN Radio New York, Charles Barkley said owner opposition to players' ability to build super teams similar to the Miami Heat will ensure a lockout.
Barkley went on to praise David Stern, but commented the NBA commissioner must do some serious dealing for the season to start without some form of a lockout.
"It would take a miracle on (Stern's) part not to have a lockout and I truly believe that," Barkley said. "I think there's going to be a lockout, I think the owners are dug in, I think they want to send a message to these players.
"I think they're really upset by this LeBron James/Chris Bosh situation, because their teams don't have to be really good, but I feel like if they have a star in their market they can make some money. And if all the stars want to play together… we're almost becoming like baseball where you've got a few good teams and the rest of them stink."
The NBA collective bargaining agreement expires June 30 and the summer league, held in Las Vegas each year to usher in rookies and free agents, has been canceled.
The NBA last had a lockout in the 1998-99 season, which led to a January start and amended the season to 50 games.

Varsity Team of the Week: Strong Vincent boys basketball
Sunday was anything but a day of rest for the Strong Vincent boys basketball team.
The Colonels took on Girard in a Region 6 game rescheduled from Jan. 9. It was worthy of being the only action on District 10's schedule, as Vincent came through down the stretch for a 48-46 victory at Gannon's Hammermill Center.
Vincent rallied from five points down with less than 5 minutes left in the fourth quarter. David Morris and Kyle Pointer made the biggest plays of the game.
Morris recorded a 3-point play and Pointer made two free throws in the last 20 seconds. Morris, a freshman, finished with 13 points against the YellowJackets, followed by 12 for Pointer and 11 for Dajhere Pacley.
"The kids battled (when they were) down and really clamped down defensively," Vincent coach Shannon Pullium said.
The Colonels had an easier time in their previous win against Corry. They traveled to the Beavers' gymnasium Jan. 23 and departed with a 65-41 victory.
Morris tormented the hosts by scoring 29 points. Simeal Wofford, another Vincent freshman, contributed 12.
