The CBSmallPorts project, focused on developing small ports in the Central Baltic area, started just as the pandemic hit the world in 2020. COVID restrictions prevented face-to-face meetings from happening and therefore project partners from different countries were only able to meet in online meetings and workshops. Luckily, during the last few months of the project, the CBSmallPorts partners, including SAMK team, could have a few face-to-face workshops and participate in a few events and fairs. At last, the final conference and final partner meeting were held in in Riga, Latvia in August 2022 for the entire project partnership.
Travel to Riga, 24.08.2022
The SAMK team took an approximately one-hour flight from Helsinki to Riga in the afternoon on 24 August. When we arrived at the airport in Riga, we took taxis to our hotel Wellton Riverside Spa Hotel located in the city center. After a short rest we had a walk in the old town of Riga which was very close to the hotel.
The old town of Riga had a wonderful atmosphere with historical buildings. Most of us in the team were taking beautiful photos of the streets and buildings even though a few of us had already visited the place some years back. Our walk in the old town, which lasted for a few hours, ended with a great dinner. The it was time to head back to the hotel to rest and to prepare for the conference on the day after.
CBSmallPorts final conference, 25.08.2022
The venue for the final conference room was located on the top (8th) floor of the same hotel we stayed at. After having a good breakfast, we met our partners in the conference room at around 9:30 AM to have a coffee and start the conference at 10 AM.
It was very exciting to finally being able to meet the partners from Sweden, Latvia, and Estonia after having mostly online meetings for over two years. That reminded us how important it is to meet the coworkers or partners in person and how the work can proceed when meeting people face-to-face.
During the final conference, the presentations covered topics such as small port development, energy efficiency for boaters and small ports, and development of networks and cooperation. The small ports are part of the tourism industry – they are essential in providing services to boaters and other users. It was mentioned that one euro spent in the small port leads to four euros spent in other services. The CBSmallPorts project results were presented by SAMK’s Minna Keinänen-Toivola. Minna introduced one of the key results of the CBSmallPorts project, an online platform called Baltic Small Ports. In addition, as August 25 happened to be the annual Baltic Sea Day, it was a great opportunity to celebrate the Baltic Sea at the conference, as well.
The last partner meeting with a tour in small ports and old Riga, 26.08.2022
On Friday morning, SAMK team and project partners gathered in the meeting room for the last partner meeting of the project. It was time to sum up the results and have final discussions. Jussi Sutela from XAMK, one of the project partner organizations, attended the meeting online. At last, we took a group photo and ended the meeting with a wish to work with the same partners in future projects.
After the meeting, we took a bus to visit three small ports in Riga and to have a one-hour guided tour in the old town of Riga. We had the chance to hear the history and stories behind the old buildings. Riga and Latvia in general, have an interesting history and hearing them while visiting the place and taking photos, is a great experience.
Finally, after a lunch in a restaurant with a beautiful view it was time to head to the airport and return to Finland. Overall, it was an amazing trip with the company of nice people, in a beautiful city with a wonderful atmosphere.

Take an invasive plant, already a threat to ecosystems, and add insult to injury: Stinknet, which smells as pleasant as it sounds, has forced the temporary closure of a picnic area at Arizona’s Casa Grande Ruins National Monument.
The plant, also known as globe chamomile, smells like turpentine when it is crushed, and it can cause respiratory or allergic reactions, according to the University of Arizona.
The plant’s presence by the picnic area in Casa Grande Ruins National Monument means part of the monument will be closed until a solution is found, the monument staff announced Wednesday.
The invasive plant, which has already taken root in the Phoenix area, was first found and collected in the state in 1997, according to the university.
The plant then spread south along the Interstate 10 corridor and into Pinal County, which is where the national monument is.
“We also ask that visitors avoid walking near or stepping on this flowering weed in other areas of the park to avoid spreading it,” national monument staff said in a statement.
Invasive plants crowd out native plants and can damage ecosystems.
Stinknet, which is native to South Africa, poses a serious threat to the Sonoran Desert, Arizona State Parks and Trails says on its website. The state agency lists the plant in its top eight invasive weeds and grasses.
“This aggressive plant has rapidly spread across the desert landscape, displacing native vegetation and altering fragile ecosystems,” the agency said — let alone its unpleasant smell and rashes. It also becomes a wildfire hazard in summer.
Homeowners, if they see them, are encouraged to carefully and bag the weeds, preferably before they produce flowers that contain hundreds of seeds, Arizona State Parks and Trails says.
Stinknet is established now in parts of Southern California, Arizona and northern Mexico, and it was reported growing in southern Nevada in 2018, according to the University of California Statewide Integrated Pest Management System.
Casa Grande Ruins National Monument, near Coolidge, contains structures from the Ancestral Sonoran Desert People.

Yesterday morning I encountered an arresting headline on the Washington Post's website:
Scientists say that ‘nature,’ untouched by humans,
is now almost entirely gone
Post reporters Chris Mooney and Brady Dennis cite a study just published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in which its authors note that " 'pristine' landscapes simply do not exist and, in most cases, have not existed for millennia."
Some pristineness. Some wilderness.
This and similar encounters with what I call the Great Backcountry Garbage Patch have led me to conclude that the idea of wilderness is dangerous.
Much of Arizona off the interstates and major highways -- which is to say most of it -- looks like wilderness, though upon close inspection one finds that all of it has been altered by human activity: burning and other modifications of rangelands and forests, lumbering, ranching, hunting and fishing, and intensive resource extraction such as mining and quarrying.
Much of what looks like wilderness is also laced with thousands of miles of unpaved roads, jeep trails, and off-road-vehicle trackways, all strewn with beer and pop cans, shell cases, parts that fell off vehicles, and so forth.
|Scene from Arizona's Great|
Backcountry Garbage Patch
But get two or three million people who think most of Arizona is wilderness that can tolerate their recreation whatever it may be, and you end up with... the Great Backcountry Garbage Patch.
Infected with the idea of wilderness, humans can be wreckers of the highest order.
A more constructive idea may be to stop pursuing the chimeras of wilderness and pristineness and instead ask, What kind of backcountry do we want to have? Maybe we should stop seeing ourselves as outdoor adventurers going forth into the (supposed) wild and start seeing ourselves as decision makers. We have altered nature everywhere and there is no going back, but there is going forward. Shall we have a talk about reasonable ways to proceed?
In the meantime, pick up after yourselves, will ya?


IPAW 2012 will be held on 19-21 June 2012 at the Bren School of Environmental Science and Management at the University of California, Santa Barbara
Traveling to Santa Barbara
Santa Barbara has a regional airport (SBA) with nonstop connections to the following international airports:
- Denver (DEN)
- Los Angeles (LAX)
- Phoenix (PHX)
- Portland (PDX) (beginning 04 Jun 2012)
- San Francisco (SFO)
- Seattle (SEA)
Allow extra time for possible weather delays if connecting through DEN in the afternoon (thunderstorms) or SFO in the morning (fog).
If you are connecting through LAX (the closest international airport), you may choose to drive a rental car (1.5-2.5 hours) or take an express bus (Santa Barbara Airbus, 2.5 hours) to Santa Barbara.
The next closest international airport to Santa Barbara is SFO, about a 6 hour drive (quite scenic, if you have the time.)
Rail travel to/from Santa Barbara is possible, but not recommended—the connections are inconvenient and the schedules are unreliable.
Lodging in Santa Barbara
Santa Barbara is a destination resort, and our lodging prices and availability reflect this. We have arranged for special IPAW 2012 rates (not including state and local taxes) at the following hotels.
To obtain these rates, mention IPAW when booking, and book your room by 18 May.
If you are planning on staying through the weekend, be aware that these rates will be significantly higher for Friday and Saturday nights.
Please book your accommodations as soon as you know you are coming to IPAW 2012!
Traveling to and from the Workshop
UCSB is located approximately 10 miles west of downtown Santa Barbara. Those of you bringing private or rented vehicles to IPAW 2012 are encourage to share transportation with your fellow attendees. We will be running a single small van from the hotels to the conference each morning, and from the conference to the hotels each evening.

Premiering 22 April 2013 on Al Jazeera English on Artscape, The New African Photography looks at this fast-changing continent through the eyes of its most acute observers: its photographers.
Few regions remain as photographically misrepresented as Africa, but this six-part series profiles the continent’s latest generation of photographers, who are taking back control of their image with a more nuanced portrayal.
As Kenyan fashion photographer Barbara Minishi says, “Don’t look at Africa and think one thing. How come this view of Africa is always the soldier or the starving child? ”

Le Pontet , a former district of Avignon
Le Pontet = « the small bridge ». At the beginning of the XVIth century, a small wooden bridge was built to facilitate the way from Avignon centre.
The municipality of Le Pontet, born in 1925, used to be a former district of Avignon. It became independent when the citizen started to ask for more economic self-sufficiency.
Nowadays, Le Pontet benefits from its proximity with Avignon and the countryside around.
Avignon lies on the banks of the river Rhône. From 1309 to 1377, the catholic Popes chose Avignon to settle their residence and it remained under the pontifical reign until 1791, when it was attached to France.
Le Palais des Papes, The Popes Palace, located in the city centre is surrounded by medieval stone ramparts and bears witness to this story.
It is one of the rare French cities to have preserved its ramparts and his historical centre, “Le Palais des Papes », “Le Rocher des Doms » and “Le Pont d’Avignon ». It has been classified as world heritage by Unesco.
Its famous theatre festival, the largest in the world and a real artistic and cultural showcase of the city, has gone far beyond French borders.
The city was European Capital of Culture in 2000.

Nokia 5800 S60 V5 App : Ovi Maps Challenge
Ovi Maps Challenge is a quiz game based around my worst Trivial Pursuit colour – the light blue that is geography. This is the part that feels a bit like some nice marketing effort, and promoting yet again the free suite that is Ovi Maps. Even with it bundled in the firmware of most phones, people still need to know it’s there and that it is free.
Though I love the irony that Ovi Maps Challenge isn’t as free as Ovi Maps. When you start the game, you’ll see that the major continents have been padlocked. To unlock these you’ll need to purchase and download additional question packs from the Ovi Store – a nice twist on the free demo and premium content model.
Before you have to think about grabbing a pack (and they should address the ever present issue of what to do with a quiz game when you run out of questions) you have what is essentially the “world” question pack to show you what the game is like.
It’s not just straight ahead “Question, Answer A, Answer B, Answer C” factual dumps. Although the basic engineering is around that model, the variations on offer keep everything nice and fresh. Going from “which country’s flag is this” to ordering countries by population size, or trying to guess which country is which with just the outline of the border on show is a great way of stopping the rot of boredom arriving in the users mind for as long as possible.
The sixteen different styles of questions/challenges have a lot of variance on offer, not just in the question, but how you answer them. There are some where you get the answers in text boxes, some where you have to tap a spot on the map to locate a country, and others where you have to slide answers around to create ranking orders.
As you progress through the two available modes (“Quiz” gives you a fixed number of questions, while “Action” gives you a set amount of time to answer as many as you can), you’ll gather up points which contribute to your passport – build up enough of these points and you can collect a “passport” stamp for another country. Again it’s another small thing that keeps you coming back to the game.
Rovio are masters at pitching the difficulty curve and the reward curve across their portfolio to keep people playing a game on their handset. While they might not build up a big buzz online compared to others, once people actually have a look at this, I think they’ll be pleasantly surprised. it’s not an A-List title, but it’s a strong second-string and another smart choice from Nokia to make this available.


Almost twenty years into the 21st century, most rivers and lakes have been explored by fishermen around the world. In their constant search of new fly fishing waters, Andy Manstein and Eduardo Barrueto from the Magic Waters Patagonia Lodge found a way to access the remote valley of the Rio Blanco, one of Patagonias last unexplored rivers. Hidden between glaciers and forest, this river meanders his way through one of the most pristine areas of Patagonia. More than thirty miles of untouched, cold and crystal clear fishing waters.

Hazel Frame, head chef and director of In the Frame catering
I would like to share a bit about myself so you can understand where my love of food comes from, what I've done in the past and what I hope to do in the future.
I can distinctly remember my first trip to Italy, packed off age 12 to stay with the Italian side of the family. I can't say I was that enthusiastic about the whole affair, that was until dinner was served! That trip completely opened my senses to a whole world of flavours I had never experienced before, mostly due to my Italian uncle Carlo's cooking, who god rest his sole was a fantastic cook and teacher.
Ever since that first trip I was hooked and I've been cooking ever since. I started out working in the local pubs, then out to the chalets of France and Switzerland and restaurants in Canada. I went on to train at Westminster college, while working under the Galvin brothers and then with Theo Randall at the Intercontinental hotel in Hyde Park. Theo is an amazing chef and a brilliant teacher who, unlike many others, has a lot of patience and a lot of knowledge.
After five years in the smoke of London, I decided it was time to broaden the taste buds and set out to travel the world with my newly-wed husband in tow. Starting out in his home of South Africa we journeyed through India, Nepal, Hong Kong, Thailand, Cambodia, Australia and lastly New Zealand, where we liked it so much we stayed and worked for an extra six months.
Inspired to start my business
Whilst traveling I experienced so many new foods, flavours and cooking techniques I would need to write a novel to tell you about them all! Lets just say it was an enjoyable education. During my time in New Zealand I was fortunate enough to work with two incredible ladies who have a wonderful catering company, B & V gourmet, in the spectacular Marlborough wine region. It was after working here I knew exactly want I wanted to do on my return to the UK. Ever since I have been throwing myself into creating amazing dishes in domestic kitchens, to ensure my clients have an amazing culinary experience.
In the Frame catering Ltd. is based in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire and we now have a team of highly skilled professional chefs ready to show off their skills in your kitchen. Currently we're localised to the area, operating within a 50 mile radius. We plan to expand this and eventually become a nationwide service.
We look forward to hearing from you please do contact us !


Introducing UnGrounded: a hack at 30,000 feet.
In some places in the world, an entire generation of brilliant minds don’t have the opportunities or partnerships they need. In other places, there are more opportunities than qualified people. It’s called the “global misalignment of talent.”
British Airways has an idea to help tackle this problem.
Our Advisory Board is hand-picking 100 of the most forward-thinking founders, CEOs, venture capitalists, and Silicon Valley game-changers, and putting them on a flight from San Francisco to London.
On board, they’ll do what they do best—innovate and collaborate to find an effective solution to this growing global challenge.
Once back on land, they’ll present their ideas to ranking delegates from the United Nations.
Follow along and see who will get a seat on this ambitious flight.
Tell us your ideas, share your insights, and offer your solutions. Who knows? You could help change the world.

Taylor Swift is finally booking an Eras Tour stop in Toronto and making amends with a six-show stint in the city.
The “Anti-Hero” singer-songwriter announced on Thursday that she will be spending almost two weeks in Toronto in the fall of 2024.
Her first string of concerts is booked at the Rogers Centre — a venue with a capacity of more than 50,000 — on Nov. 14, 15, and 16, followed by another stint on Nov 21, 22, and 23.
“Turns out it’s NOT the end of an era,” Swift teased on Twitter while announcing the second leg of her tour coming to Miami, New Orleans, Indianapolis and Toronto.
The mega pop star said tickets aren’t on sale yet, but they will be on Wednesday. In the meantime, verified fan registration for Toronto shows is now open.
American musician Gracie Abrams, who Swift has called one of her favourite friends while performing together in Ohio, will be joining her on stage in Toronto.
In June, Canadian fans were left in the lurch when Swift announced 40 new dates for her Eras Tour, including Mexico, Europe, Asia and Australia – skipping Canada entirely.
It seems Swift is eager to smooth over the rough patch with Canadians – the only other cities that got six shows were Los Angeles and Singapore.
The original omission pushed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to tweet at Swift with paraphrased lyrics from her own songs, posting, Its me, hi. I know places in Canada would love to have you. So, dont make it another cruel summer. We hope to see you soon.
TAYLOR SWIFT WILL HAVE ‘ENORMOUS’ IMPACT ON TORONTO
Destinations Toronto Executive Vice President Andrew Weir said Swift’s shows will have an “enormous” impact on the city’s tourism and hospitality industries when they need it most.
“Thats a critical time for our industry, just as the time when a lot of business travel starts to subside, leisure travel for the holidays hasnt really picked up yet,” Weir told CP24.
As the only city in the country with shows booked, Weir said he expects the geographic radius of Swifties inundating Toronto will be significant, and in turn, reflect a substantial monetary value.
On average, Era Tour fans are spending U.S. $1,300 – equivalent to more than $1,700 in Canada – on tickets, merchandise, alcohol, food, parking and hotels, Canadian music correspondent Eric Alper told CP24.
“You tabulate that, she could be raking in anywhere between $75 million and $100 million just based on these six dates alone,” Alper said.
He notes that several days linger between Swift’s Toronto shows, which could leave room for more dates to be announced, or even a quick visit to stages in another major city, like Montreal or Vancouver.
THE ERAS TOUR SO FAR
The first leg of the Eras Tour launched in March with the final date booked in Brazil at the end of November 2023.After a few months to rest her vocal cords, Swift will be back on stage in Tokyo in February 2024.
The three-hour concert takes fans through the eras of the Grammy-winner’s 17-year career, spanning from “Love Story” in her earliest era to her most recent “Anti-Hero.”
With the first stretch of the tour nearly in the rear-view, Swift wrote, “really blows my mind that we have one last city on the US leg,” on Instagram this week before heading to Santa Clara.
More than halfway through the eight-month stretch, and the hype for her tour has only roared louder, with her Seattle concert generating seismic activity equivalent to a 2.3 magnitude earthquake just last week.
While Canadian Swifties are rejoicing about the new tour dates, securing tickets could be a battle in itself. When tickets for the first leg of her Eras Tour were released, Swift broke Ticketmaster with insufficient supply to meet the extraordinary fan demand.


We are small family owned and operated business that strives to achieve the very best in food quality, authenticity, and service.
All began in 1988 in a small town called Deer Park located in the Southeast area of Houston. Gennaro and his brother Antonio quickly became well known within the community by offering unique dishes rooted from recipes handed down through many generations. What was then, and still operating, Antonio's, has been transformed to a cozy rustic setting in the Texas hill country now named Gennaro's Trattoria.
The family is very excited to now be expanding Gennaro's to New Braunfels! With this being our fourth operating location, we are overwhelmed with excitement and cannot wait to offer our passion with another great community.

Zanzibar is an Arabic themed video slot from Williams Interactive Software that falls into their G+ range. If the layout and feel of the slot seems familiar to you, that is because many in the G+ range have the same basic system and are just different covers with different themes.
Zanzibar offers you five reels with 30 paylines, a replicating wild and a free spins bonus. This is a medium to high variance slot, which means that you stand a big chance of hitting the free spins round, but a smaller chance of hitting the jackpot. Zanzibar can be played for both real and free money, and with its pretty low minimum wager it caters for all budgets.
Firstly you may be asking what on earth is Zanzibar? Zanzibar is an island off the coast of East Africa. Its population is mostly Arabic, and its one and only city holds the record of being the first city on earth to have electric streetlights.
Zanzibar the slot has a rather pretty Arabic theme, with a nod to the actual island by way of a sunset with palm trees in the background of the reels. The rest of the theme doesn’t have a whole lot to do with the tropical island, and more just the Arabic part of it.
The reels themselves are a sandy brown, with the symbol’s graphics being more simplified than arty. The buttons at the bottom are the familiar blue and gold from WMS, and are neatly laid out with nothing confusing going on. This is a simple slot, easy to understand with no added frills more like slots in Canada.
The reels are packed with suitably Arabic symbols, most of which actually wouldn’t be found anywhere near the island of Zanzibar, but that is beside the point. You can find Arabian horses, a female burkha clad Arabic warrior, Arabic jewellery, scimitars, and Arabic ornaments. The base symbols are the suites from a deck of cards, namely Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs and Spades all done to look like colourful jewels. A Free Spins Bonus symbol can also be found, as can a Sunset Palms replicating wild.
Zanzibar Special Features
There are only really two special features in the game; the fist is the replicating wild in the form of a sunset and a palm tree. This symbol appears on reel three, it can replicate across all the reels as a wild, taking the place of all other symbols except the bonus symbol. This feature is available on both the base game and in the free spins bonus round, which can lead to some very interesting winnings.
Free spins bonus symbol is found through out the reels, and three or more of these will launch the free spins bonus round. This bonus round is Zanzibar’s main feature and can be launched quite often. The more bonus symbols that you find, the more free spins you will be awarded.
The most a player can find is five bonus symbols, which will result in a pretty neat forty free spins. Remember that during this round you can find replicating wilds as well, which all add up. Every win during the free spins round comes with a two times multiplier as well.

6 Ways to Celebrate the Summer Solstice
The summer solstice on June 20th is the longest day of the year. It's also referred to as "midsummer" even though it is the first day of summer and the end of spring. But living in the middle of a cold prairie province means that, for me, I just planted my garden, the cottage was just opened a few weeks ago, and my white skin is just starting to get a glow. It hardly feels like "midsummer" everywhere in the northern hemisphere, even though some places have been enjoying blistering heat for months already! The solstice is also an indicator that the hottest months are ahead. So why not reign in this natural occurrence with a little celebration, the way previous traditions did?
Since the days following the summer solstice begin to shorten, the solstice was traditionally a time to celebrate the sun. The word solstice loosely translates to “sun stand still,” and its influence has always been extremely important to agricultural societies. This day was a special time to gather and celebrate, and honour the sun shining in the sky, allowing food and crops to grow and offer us sustenance. Singing and dancing around a bonfire was the most common tradition associated with the solstice in earlier times. Many countries still honour the custom.
I get together with a few friends every solstice and equinox. It’s been a really interesting way to stay in touch with the natural occurrences of our planet, and I'm always surprised how changes of season often bring a lot of internal shifts as well. On the winter solstice, we ate comfort foods and shared things that we needed to let go of. In spring, we did a plant swap and talked about budding ideas for the new year. Now, the summer solstice is almost here. So, a fire and possibly an in-season flower swap is on the agenda.
If you’re hoping to find a way to celebrate the summer solstice, here are some old and new ways to do it:
1. Have a bonfire
Hilltop bonfires seemed to be one of the most popular ways for ancient Celts to celebrate and it’s still a very common tradition all around the world. In some European countries, it’s an extremely significant outdoor celebration; dancing, singing, and huge bonfires being the central excitement of the event.
Solstice idea: Gather your closest friends, set out a moody midsummer playlist, and keep a bonfire going until the sun dips below the horizon. Nosh on some in-season ingredients, and request themed attire!
2. Get yourself some flowers
Celebrating summer is a perfect excuse to buy yourself some flowers and have the smell of fresh blooms in your home. Who doesn't enjoy a fresh little bouq on her dining table? If you've got blooms in your yard, try snipping a few to build your own arrangement.
Solstice idea: Hunt down some ribbon, floral wire and floral tape, and snip or purchase some of your favourite in-season blooms to make your own flower crown, corsage or necklace. Maybe you can wear it to your themed bonfire celebration!
3. Light a candle
Summer solstice celebrations don't need to be loud, and they don't need to be bustling with tons of bodies. If you’re not feeling like a wild outdoor party, opt for something more low-key and celebrate the fire of the sun by lighting some candles around your house.
Solstice idea: Light some candles and have a seat to think about some things you’re grateful for or things you’re hoping for the rest of the year. Hold a piece of sunstone, and throw on “Here Comes The Sun” for an especially on point solitary solstice night.
4. Two words: Sun. Piñata.
If you're celebrating with little ones (or if you're a kid at heart), DIY a sun piñata to create a memorable summer celebration that your littles look back on fondly, or even look forward to each year.
Solstice idea: Fill a piñata with yellow ribbons, gold coins (of the chocolate variety, perhaps?), and yellow flowers and break it with your kids, or your best friends. Cause, who can turn down sunshine-themed games that remind you of childhood birthday parties? Bonus points if you use foraged sticks from the yard to bang on the piñata.
Midsummer means blooming gardens! Spend some time walking around and foraging whatever you can get your hands on (and isn’t on your neighbour’s lawn). Make a bouquet, hang them to dry, or cleanse your home with the smell of summer by burning the fragrant pickings.
Solstice idea: Gather some friends and spend the solstice evening wildcrafting and foraging together. You can also pick things from your own garden, and exchange your harvest with friends. Someone always has an abundance of tomatoes!
6. Get outside
Okay, but seriously: get outside on the longest day of the year! Go on a walk at lunch, spend the evening at a park, sit in your backyard. Whatever works for you! Soak up some sun. And hey, maybe you’ll get a festive tan/sunburn to boot.
Solstice idea: Dinner can be really special on the solstice. Set out some evening lights, make a light, in-season meal with crisp salads and fresh juices, and dine slowly beneath the setting sun. You can go formal and invite guests over to chill on the deck, or you can have a romantic evening picnic for two.

State of the art lectures will review key topics and new developments that have relevance both directly and indirectly to the main theme of the meeting. The program will appeal to medical doctors, biologists, physiotherapists, physicists, biochemists, veterinarians and dentists.
- the host Island
Ever since Odysseus washed ashore after being shipwrecked on his way home to Ithaca, the island of Corfu has been praised for its lush beauty. Corfu's mild climate and abundant rainfall make it one of the greenest islands in Greece. It's said that Shakespeare envisioned Corfu when he described Prospero's island in The Tempest. In later centuries, Goethe, Oscar Wilde and the Durrell brothers amongst others extolled its virtues. Historically a favorite haunt of European royalty and aristocrats, the island has an eclectic international flair, especially its capital (also named Corfu). The Liston, built during the French occupation, was modeled on rue de Rivoli. The old town's 18th century shuttered alleyways in mellow pastels make it more reminiscent of Venice than Greece. The birthplace of composers, politicians and poets, Corfu today is an intellectual and cultural capital of sorts. It's home to no less than seven schools of music and numerous museums, Byzantine churches and archaeological sites

This summer I’ll be crisscrossing the country, bringing my “5 ways to put $500 back in your budget” message to the masses. So far I’ve been on TV in Boston and Los Angeles, and today my segment in Houston broadcast. You can watch it below.
On Thursday, look for me on “6 in the Mix” on the NBC station in Miami, and then on the FOX station in Minneapolis on Saturday morning. Later in July I’ll be on “Charlotte Today.” I’ll keep you posted as I get booked in different markets throughout the summer.

While there is still uncertainty in parts of North Africa, Asia continues to provide a safe haven for foreign tourists.
Since the uprisings in North Africa and the Middle East started, people have been looking to Asia for salvation. While it is not alien to the odd uprising, Asia remains very stable and does not suffer from the time bomb effect that decades of dictatorship have created. While a 10 night sojourn in Thailand may not quite match the cheaper deals of Egypt and Tunisia, it will come very close, the main difference being the flight cost, not the accommodation, which is a lot more consistent in quality compared with many parts of Asia, particularly Malaysia and Thailand.
The rise in boutique properties in Thailand is a stark contract to the huge all inclusive resorts of Egypt and to a lesser extent, Tunisia. What Asian properties once lacked in the top end, they now have in abundance and that is child friendly 5* hotels, many with dedicated kids clubs like at the delightful Anantara Si Kao.
The Maldives also continues its expansion as a child friendly destination.
