This is the glamor event of the year: in addition to attracting well-known national stars, the BAMBI awards also attract many high-ranking stars from outside of Germany. A wonderful opportunity to stride across the red carpet in full style, introduce the latest trends, and show off your best side. Once again the exclusive make-up partner of the BAMBI awards, the international cosmetics manufacturer Kryolan is supporting the event with specially created Red Carpet Looks so that stars can make a perfect entrance: the discrete “no make-up look” for him and the popular “millennial pink” for her.

These internationally renowned faces are rarely under as much pressure as they are on the red carpet: under the glaring spotlights, they are subjected to the scrutiny of the audience and the cameras. That is why the Kryolan team again provided the national and international guests with the perfect make-up.


This season’s color trend is “millennial pink,” and it creates fashionable, expressive eyes. This year, however, the theme is intensity, with deliberate but “unintentional” highlights. Not precise, but that is the cost of being cool; simply and almost carelessly blended onto the eyelids, the eye make-up gives off a feeling of free-spiritedness and casual elegance. Strong contours give way to trendy strobing. The 2017/2018 red carpet season is also celebrating rouge’s big comeback, with cheeks glowing in dewy peach tones. Lavish but natural eyebrows add a touch of the wild, and softly gleaming lips provide a calm contrast, complementing the look. A combination of subtlety and intensity that leaves both an impression and a sense of playfulness.

For him: definitely make-up, but as subtle as possible. For a blemish-free complexion, skin irregularities and red- ness disappear under concealer and foundation, while darker nuances discreetly accentuate contours and highlight those attractive, masculine facial features. Transparent mascara and colorless eyebrow gel tame and define lashes and brows, making the eyes the most expressive part of the face – a naturally glowing look, guaranteeing a magical moment in the flurry of camera flashes.

“Even men strive for a perfect look,” acknowledges Paul Merchant, Global Head of Make-up for Kryolan. “But discre- tion plays an important role,” the expert continues. “The daring millennial pink look might seem risky at first glance, but make-up is a creative outlet, it’s fun, and because it’s only temporary, experiments are allowed. After all, we want to look our best.”

And just like last year, Kryolan is also giving all make-up enthusiasts a taste of that red-carpet feeling: exclusively for the BAMBI awards, visitors to Kryolan stores will have the opportunity to be made up fit for the red-carpet – you’re guaranteed to feel like a star.
About Kryolan:

Founded in 1945, Kryolan is the leading international manufacturer of professional make-up. Kryolan‘s roots are in theater cosmetics. The executives of the family business still always keep an open ear for the needs and wishes of the make-up artists and develop custom products for specific theater productions. Over the past 40 years the company has greatly expanded internationally and long ago moved beyond limiting itself to just theater. Kryolan is the exclusive make-up partner for BAMBI since 2014, London Fashion Week, New York Fashion Week, Britain‘s and Ireland‘s and America‘s Next Top Model, RuPaul’s Drage Race (3rd seasosn) The Pink Ribbon Foundation London and even blockbusters like Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean, The White Ribbon, Hunger Games, Cloud Atlas or internationally successful series like Star Trek or Game of Thrones – all testament to the fact that make-up artists and stylists rely on Kryolan‘s made-in-Germany quality for film, TV and  photographic productions.

Kryolan is committed to taking care of its employees, has always forgone the use of animal testing and is involved in charity projects. Theatrical and other professional make-up artists receive support through numerous seminars, workshops and the Global Face Art international make-up conference. Each year, Kryolan gives out the 14-carat Golden Mask award for exceptional achievements in theatrical make-up artistry in the two categories of national and international as well as the Golden Mask for make-up art.

Once again, Kryolan puts the red-carpet stars center stage at the 2017 BAMBI awards.

  • Audi discusses virtual reality and artificial intelligence with researchers and creative types in the Audi Berlinale Lounge
  • Jason Lusty, Head of Marketing Germany at AUDI AG: “Culture is an  important innovation driver for our society”
  • Audi Short Film Award honors outstanding artistic style

Berlin/Ingolstadt, January 31, 2017 – The 67th Berlin International Film Festival will showcase the wide diversity of cinema from February 9 to 19. New technologies like virtual reality are important innovation drivers here. As the principal partner to the Berlinale, Audi supports dialogue between the arts and industry with the Berlinale Open House event series and the European Film Market’s EFM Horizon innovation platform. In addition, fans of the cinema can enjoy discussions about current films, exceptional concerts and the best view of the curb where the stars arrive.

The Berlinale is an interface between art and technology. With increasing digitalization, the two worlds are merging together. “Culture is an important innovation driver in our society since it shows new ways of thinking and new ideas – beyond linear processes,” explains Jason Lusty, Head of Marketing Germany at AUDI AG. “In an increasingly digital world, a strong creative industry takes on special importance. It examines things critically, uses artistic intuition to create new contexts and supports the acceptance of technical innovations in society.” For this reason, the possibilities and acceptance of new technologies will be one of the topics discussed during the Berlinale as part of the Berlinale Open House program in the Audi Berlinale Lounge. Panels made up of respected experts discussed, among other things, their assessments of the future of artificial intelligence.

The European Film Market (EFM), held during the film screenings in the official program, has developed into one of the most important markets for the international film industry. As a partner to the new EFM Horizon innovation platform, Audi supports the issue of digitalization in the film industry. New technologies like virtual and augmented reality, connectivity through the Cloud and changed consumer behavior due to an ever-stronger on-demand culture are changing the film industry and automotive industry alike. The sharing of experiences drives innovation and highlights new options for collaboration.

The brand with the four rings has facilitated a lucrative prize for experimental film since 2015 with the Audi Short Film Award. This year 23 films from 19 countries are competing for gold and silver bears in the Berlinale Shorts as well as for the Audi Short Film Award, which carries EUR 20,000 in prizes. “Short film is a platform for experimentation. Within a very short time span, it provokes emotions, enables changes in perspective, breaks conventions, tests new formats and explores boundaries,” Lusty said. The jury for international short film – Christian Jankowski, Carlos Núñez and Kimberly Drew – presented the Audi Short Film Award for works produced in an outstanding artistic style and, with it, underscored the importance of the form for social discourse.

The Audi Berlinale Lounge can be accessed each day by anyone who is interested. From the balcony, the stars can be watched as they drive up to the red carpet. The discussion rounds with prominent guests and experts provide a look behind the scenes at the Berlinale. There is live music and DJ performances every night at the Berlinale Lounge Nights, starting at 8pmActs expected to perform include Robert Stadlober, Edita Malov?i? alias Madita, “Die Höchste Eisenbahn” and the “Major Minors,” among others. All schedules and details can be found atwww.berlinale.de/en/berlinaleopenhouse.

As in previous years, Audi City Berlin is the official place to purchase Berlinale tickets, and will be open daily starting February 6 from 10am to 8pmhttps://www.audi-city.com/berlin/berlinale/tickets-berlinale-2017/.

Audi era celebrated

Where to begin when evaluating Audi’s commitment and achievements over the last 18 seasons in endurance racing? It is an unenviable task. 
True epochs are rare in motorsport but the span from 1999 to present day, with a short break in 2004/5 aside, Audi Sport has been a titan of one of racing’s toughest disciplines and it has a strike rate at La Sarthe which is unlikely to ever be beaten in the same time frame. 
Audi's immense contribution to endurance racing has been celebrated in two parts on the WEC website.  You can enjoy it again, PART ONE HERE and PART TWO HERE
Mark Webber, Kyle Wilson Clarke and Timo Bernhard

Interview with Kyle Wilson-Clarke, engineer Porsche No.2

Mark Webber’s final race in his illustrious career was the 6 Hours of Bahrain, and we know now that his place in the No.2 Porsche 919 Hybrid will be taken in 2017 by New Zealander Earl Bamber. 
The last round of the 2016 FIA WEC signalled an end to a career which began in the early nineties with Webber’s Australian Formula Ford debut through to the defence this season of his hard-won 2015 FIA World Endurance Championship title. 
One man who is in a perfect position to reminisce about Webber’s time at Porsche is his engineer Kyle-Wilson Clarke who was part of the team who clinched the 2015 world championship titles.

Today marks the 100th anniversary of the first use of poison gas. In the spring of 1915 the company BAYER supplied about 700 tonnes of chemicals to the front. On April 22 about 170 tonnes of chlorine gas were used for the first time on a battlefield in Ypres, Belgium. A six km wide and 600-900 m deep gas cloud formed, drifting towards the French troops. This attack alone led to about 1,000 dead and 4,000 severely injured men. Poison gas attacks against British soldiers followed on 1st, 6th, 10th and 24th May.
 
As early as in the fall of 1914, in response to a suggestion from the Ministry of War, a commission had been established to deal with the use of poisonous waste from the chemical industry. The commission was chaired by Fritz Haber (director of the Kaiser Wilhelm-Institut), Carl Duisberg of BAYER and the chemist Walter Nernst. The commission recommended the use of chlorine gas, which was a deliberate violation of the Hague Convention Respecting the Laws and Customs of War on Land, under which chemical warfare had been banned since 1907.
 
Carl Duisberg was personally present during early tests of poison gas and enthusiastically praised the new weapon: “The enemy won’t even know when an area has been sprayed with it and will remain quietly in place until the consequences occur.” Under Carl Duisberg’s leadership BAYER continued to develop increasingly lethal chemical weapons, first phosgene and later mustard gas. Duisberg vehemently demanded that they be used: “This phosgene is the meanest weapon I know. I strongly recommend that we not let the opportunity of this war pass without also testing gas grenades.” At BAYER´s headquarters in Leverkusen a school for chemical warfare was built.
 
Duisberg even commissioned the painter Otto Bollhagen to depict scenes of war production for the BAYER directors' breakfast room. The painting below shows the testing of poison gas and gas masks near Cologne.

An estimated total of 60,000 people died as a result of the gas warfare started by Germany. Axel Koehler-Schnura from the Coalition against BAYER Dangers says: “The name BAYER particularly stands for the development and production of poison gas. Nevertheless the company has not come to terms with its involvement in the atrocities of the First World War. BAYER has not even distanced itself from Carl Duisberg´s crimes.“ The German cities of Dortmund und Luedenscheid recently decided to rename streets named after Duisberg. Corresponding initiatives are under way in Frankfurt, Wuppertal, Bonn and Marl.
 
During the war BAYER became the biggest German explosives producer, the company also manufactured gas masks. Due to a price guarantee by the government profits were elevated to undreamt of heights. Also during the Third Reich research into chemical war gases was carried out in BAYER laboratories. The inventor of SARIN and TABUN, Dr. Gerhard Schrader, became head of the BAYER pesticides department after WW II.

If fully implemented, this framework will prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, making our nation, our allies, and our world safer.

For decades, Iran has been advancing its nuclear program. When I took office, Iran was operating thousands of centrifuges -- which can produce the materials for a nuclear bomb -- and was concealing a secret nuclear facility. I made it clear that the United States was prepared to find a diplomatic resolution, if Iran came to the table in a serious way.

But that didn't happen.

So we rallied the world to impose the toughest sanctions in history, profoundly impacting Iran's economy. Sanctions couldn't stop Iran's nuclear program on their own, but they helped bring Iran to the negotiating table.

And after many months of tough and principled diplomacy, the United States -- joined by the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Russia, China, and the European Union -- achieved the framework for a deal that will cut off every pathway Iran could take to develop a nuclear weapon.

I want you to understand exactly what this deal entails:

First, it stops Iran from pursuing a bomb using plutonium, because Iran will not develop weapons-grade plutonium. The core of its reactor at Arak will be dismantled and replaced. The spent fuel from that facility will be shipped out of Iran for the life of the reactor. Iran will not build a new heavy-water reactor. And Iran will never reprocess fuel from its existing reactors.

Second, it shuts down Iran's path to a bomb using enriched uranium.Iran has agreed to reduce its installed centrifuges by two-thirds. It will no longer enrich uranium at its Fordow facility, and it will not enrich uranium with its advanced centrifuges for at least the next 10 years. And the vast majority of its stockpile of enriched uranium will be neutralized.

Third, it provides the best possible defense against Iran's ability to pursue a nuclear weapon in secret. Iran has agreed to the most robust and intrusive inspections and transparency regime ever negotiated for any nuclear program in history. International inspectors will have unprecedented access not only to Iranian nuclear facilities, but to the entire supply chain that supports Iran's nuclear program -- from uranium mills that provide the raw materials, to the centrifuge production and storage facilities that support the program.

If Iran cheats, the world will know.

In return for Iran's actions, the international community has agreed to provide Iran with relief from certain sanctions -- our own sanctions, and international sanctions imposed by the United Nations Security Council. This relief will be tied to the steps Iran takes to adhere to the deal. And if Iran violates the deal, sanctions can be snapped back into place. Meanwhile, other American sanctions on Iran -- for its support of terrorism, its human rights abuses, and its ballistic missile program -- will be fully enforced.

Now, our work is not yet done. Negotiators will continue to work through the details of how this framework will be fully implemented, and those details matter. And let me be clear: If Iran backslides, and the verification and inspection mechanisms don't meet the specifications of our nuclear and security experts, there will be no deal.

But if we can get this done, and Iran follows through on the framework that our negotiators agreed to, we will be able to peacefully resolve one of the gravest threats to the security of our nation, our allies, and the world.
