First Malaysian Astronaut Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor at Soyuz
The Soyuz capsule TMA-11, carrying the Malaysia’s first astronaut, Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor, along with the Russian flight engineer Yury Malenchenko and the US astronaut Peggy Whitson arrived today at the International Space Station (ISS).
Shukor, who is the first Muslim to fly in space, was shortlisted from more than 10,000 candidates during a nationwide search beginning in 2003, to become Malaysia's first astronaut.
"I feel very well and I have lots of Russian and American friends up on board with me here," Shukor said after the docking operation was completed.
He will return to Earth with the two Russians astronauts, Fyodor Yurchikhin and Oleg Kotov, on October 21
Peggy Whitson will become the station commander after a ceremony which will take place on Friday, October 19. She will be the first woman station commander.
Whitson was born and raised in Iowa, where at an early age she was inspired by the men who walked on the moon. "I thought 'what a cool job!'"
She decided she wanted to fly in space after graduating from high school, which was the same year they picked the first set of female astronauts. Whitson was selected as an astronaut in 1996.
Built in Italy for the United States, Harmony is a high-tech hallway and Tinkertoy-like hub. It is a 23- by 14-foot passageway that will connect the U.S. segment of the station to the European and Japanese modules, to be installed later this year and early next year, respectively.
Whitson will return to Earth in April 2008.

Mona Lisa
There are several theories regarding the identity of the model for the famous painting by Leonardo da Vinci -- one is that she was Lisa Gherardini, born in 1479, and the wife of a wealthy silk merchant; others, however, theorize that the painting was in fact da Vinci's self-portrait.

Action Painting - Action Painter At Work
The company i worked for went bankrupt. I lost my job and started painting for months intensively.
I gave away paintings to pay my bills. HEIN is an actionpainter. This means he starts creating a new piece without knowing what the destination will be. Once started he gets influenced by ideas, colours, music, surroundings etc. Jackson Pollock made worldwide furore with this working method. Pollock made generally abstract work. Hein does'nt do that. He makes his paintings like a cartoon. HEIN lives now in the Netherlands.
