But the Asia-Pacific region is catching up, with the number of female surfers increasing by an average 36 per cent across the region since January. "Globally we have found that women are a fussier breed of surfer than their male counterparts," Hoe Chin Fee, South Asia managing director of ACNielsen eRatings.com, said in a statement. "Women are much more efficient in their Web usage they spend less time online as they generally know what they're looking for and leave once they achieve their goal."

Extractions: Several critics have pointed out an oddity. The painter's clothes are not really what was being worn in Holland in 1660 - 1665. These are very old clothes, known as a Burgundian suit, very fashionable in 1530. If this character is Vermeer, why would he set his character 150 years earlier? Strange anachronism. different lectures A shared Vision comprises the collection of works of art built up by Jacques-Edouard Berger and now on loan at Lausanne's Musée de design et d'arts appliqués contemporains , together with essays linked to his passion for collecting. Since the 19th century, most critics have tried to see Vermeer himself as the painter. The painter has done everything to create the most complete ambiguity. There is nothing which allows his identity to be certified. The artist is presented from the back. His palette and his colors cannot be seen. This setting symbolizes the painter's image. Why not Jan Vermeer? Could this be his only self-portrait? How frustrating! Think of Rembrandt who, throughout his life, never ceased representing himself.
