Where in the aircraft is the various crew rest area placed? Number 15 and 51 in this diagram. The flight crew rest is above and behind the cockpit and directly accessible from the cockpit. The cabin crew rest is aft.

In a piece of 6th Jan. shown on www.bloga350.blogspot.co.uk/ the seating outline only shows electromechanical window shades under Extra Features in Business Class (BC) , not Economy (E). Does that mean that this feature is immobilized in E seating or that it is not controllable by the adjacent seat as I presume would be the perk for the BC passenger?

Sorry I also forgot to mention a couple of other points from the blog mentioned above.
The main text of the article states E 18 inch-wide seats yet the brochure referred to above states 'up to 18 inch' (and seat pitch also 'up to 32 inches'). Is it the case then that some seats are NOT that width i.e. below the much-marketed Airbus minimum width? I can't see why this would need to be the case or is it simply sloppy journalism?
On that topic, there is a printing error in the inch to cm conversion under their BC seating text: 'The business cabin incorporates 36 seats in a 4-abreast (1-2-1) configuration, each featuring 80in (76cm) lie-flat beds...'!! Does no-one proof-read nowadays? Shouldn't a 'world-class' airline be dealing with such detail in their press releases? I've written a few times in recent years to Airbus about their 'FrAnglais' and the need for an English native to review Airbus web posts, but little improvement has been seen. Still I don't often see them plunging to the Flightglobal version of the language where many things seem to be 'slated'.

That blog hardly features any editorial content at all, apart from some headlines. All it does is reproduce articles from various web sources. For instance, their latest piece ends with the following text in small letters : "Based on the article 'Deputy Premier Officially Inaugurates Qatar airways A350 XWB Aircraft' published in Qatar News Agency".

QR and AB are really trying to convince journalist that the A350 is amazing. This is now the THIRD press flight before actual EIS (I'd say that would be the first flight to FRA). Or another way of looking at it: QR is so convinced of the A350's awesomeness that they want to show it off as much as possible to journalists, so those would write positive pieces about the plane (and by extension the company) for a change. QR being such an evil company as regards employees' rights etc. can certainly need some good publicity.
