San Sebastián (or Donostia in Basque) is a coastal city and municipality, the capital of the Gipuzkoa province, and is located in the Basque Autonomous Community, in northern Spain. The city is located on the southern coast of the Bay of Biscay, 20 km from France. The population of San Sebastian's municipality is 186,665 people (according to the data for 2020), and 436,500 people live in the entire San Sebastian comarca (as of 2019). A resident of Donostia is called a Donostiarra, in both Spanish and Basque. The Basque version of the city's name – Donostia – has the same meaning as in Spanish – "Saint Sebastian". The dona/done/doni element in Basque place-names signifies "saint" and is derived from the Latin domine; the second part of Donostia contains a shortened form of the saint's name.
Donostia's main economic activities are commerce and tourism, and it is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Spain. Despite San Sebastián's small size, the important International Film Festival is one of the biggest art events. San Sebastián, along with Wroclaw, Poland was the European Capital of Culture in 2016.
San Sebastian's three picturesque beaches are La Concha, Ondarreta and Zurriola. The city is surrounded by easily accessible mountains: the 123-meter Urgull (near the city's old part), the small Uliya mountain range (extending east to Pasaia), Mount Adarra (in the southern part of the city) and Igeldo mountain (in the western part).
Due to the fact that San Sebastian aimed towards developing its tourism sector, Mount Urgull ceased to be used by the military and was sold by them to the city council in 1924. Most of the mountain surface is covered with trees and the remaining military fortress at the top looks very picturesque, recalling the turbulent events of previous centuries.
There is a small history museum in the fortress' premises which is part of the larger San Telmo Museum (San Telmo Museoa), located on the southeast slope. There are beautiful views of the bay and the city from the top of Urgull.
Located at the Urumea River mouth, Donostia in its present form was built over the past two centuries, mainly on marshy lands. In fact, the city center and the Amara Berri and Riberas de Loiola districts stand on the former riverbed which was launched through its current canal in the first half of the 20th century.
The most popular view of San Sebastian is that of La Concha Bay, in which the city itself is surrounded by mountains. A small but very picturesque Santa Clara island grew up in the middle of the bay.
San Sebastian transport and logistics
San Sebastian is serviced by «Euskotren Trena», the main Basque Country railway operator. «Euskotren Trena» operates trains to Bilbao and other destinations, as well as the Donostialdea Metro in San Sebastian. The city has its own airport, which is located in the neighboring municipality of Fuenterrabia (Hondarribia).
Metro Donostialdea serves the city of San Sebastian and the Donostialdea district, which is part of the San Sebastian comarca within the Gipuzkoa province and reaches the French city of Hendaye near the Bay of Biscay. The metro line was first opened in Donostia in 1912 as a regional train connecting San Sebastian with the city of Irun. The "Feve" Spanish narrow-gauge railway company owned the metro for a long time until in the 1970s the metro passed to the Basque government – then it, along with other narrow-gauge lines, was transformed into "EuskoTren".
The Metro Donostialdea network has currently only one line connecting the city of Lasarte-Oria with San Sebastian, Pasaia, Irun, and Hendaye. The possible expansion of the network in the future is being considered – it is planned to build seven new stations.
The city bus is the main form of public transport in San Sebastian. The local bus network of 30 lines covering the entire city has been served by Compañía del Tranvía de San Sebastián (CTSS) under the Donostia Bus commercial name since 1886. The city bus use per capita in San Sebastian is the highest in Spain.
Two companies represent rail transport in San Sebastian: EuskoTren and Renfe.
Trains to Madrid, Barcelona, and La Coruna depart from the North Station several times a day. Renfe Cercanías trains connect San Sebastian with towns in Gipuzkoa.
Another means of transport, as well as a city landmark, is the funicular, opened in 1912 and connecting Ondarreta Beach with an amusement park on the top of Mount Igeldo. In addition, San Sebastian has numerous elevators, escalators, and mechanical ramps to facilitate residents' movement in the highlands, which make up 50% of the city's population. Donostia takes 4th place in Spain in terms of developing vertical accessibility for the disabled (lifts, elevators, etc.), followed by Barcelona, Bilbao and Eibar.
San Sebastian has a developed network of bike paths, the length of which exceeds 56 kilometers. They are called "bidegorri" here, which in Basque means "red path" – reflecting the color of the bike path. The use of a bicycle as a vehicle is growing rapidly among citizens, and the city authorities plan to expand the network so that you can freely cycle around the city. Now the network of bike paths reaches neighboring municipalities (Lasarte-Oria, Pasajes, and Astigarraga), connecting with their own bike paths.
San Sebastian airport and how to get There
The San Sebastian Airport runway extends along the Bidasoa River, right on the Spanish-French border. The potential renovation project provides for an extension of the runway to meet the requirements for larger aircraft servicing. However, these plans still cause numerous disputes and resistance from opposition-minded citizens; to this are added the economic difficulties faced by air carriers using the terminal. All this makes the airport's future even more uncertain.
San Sebastian Airport serves domestic flights, the most regular of which are to Madrid and Barcelona. One can only fly with transfers from Russia to San Sebastian. In addition, due to the small number of flights, tickets can be much more expensive than when arriving at other airports. In this regard, in order to save money, we recommend choosing the nearest terminals, for example, Bilbao Airport (100 km from San Sebastian) or the airport of the French city of Biarritz (Biarritz Pays Basque Airport), which is 48 km from Donostia. There will be transfers in this case also, but there is the possibility of choosing flights and saving money.
Many tourists prefer to fly to major Spanish airports (Barcelona, Madrid, Alicante), and then travel to San Sebastian by train, bus or domestic Spanish low-cost airline (for example, by Vueling).
If you prefer to travel by train, then you can take the train from Moscow or St. Petersburg to Paris, and go from Paris to Hendaye, which is located on the border with Spain. There are regular electric trains from Hendaye to San Sebastian.
Ouibus buses run from Biarritz Airport to San Sebastian several times a day. The fare will be 5-7 euros; travel time – 1 hour 10 minutes. SNCF trains go from the terminal to Hendaye, where you will need to go to another station and catch the Euskotren train to San Sebastian.
A car trip takes about half an hour.
If you arrive at the San Sebastian airport, then you can get from the airport to the city both by bus and by train. Lurraldebus buses travel about every half an hour to the city center. Buses run every hour; the fare is about 2-4 euros.
Euskotren trains leave from the airport quite often also and arrive at San Sebastian in 35 minutes. The fare is 2-3 euros.
A car or taxi trip takes 15-20 minutes.
San Sebastian's landmarks. Tourism and main sights
The main San Sebastian promenade is located by La Concha bay. There is the beach of the same name, along which stretches a picturesque promenade with rows of trees, benches and a beautiful white balustrade. It is good to walk day and evening, admiring the beautiful views of the bay and the Santa Clara island and admiring the sunsets and the promenade with its cozy lighting in the dark.
The small rocky island of Santa Clara is a local attraction, an indispensable attribute of all tourists' photographs. The island itself can be reached by boat, cruising from the port during the summer season.
La Concha Promenade (Playa de La Concha) is in fact, the main tourist street, at the beginning of which is San Sebastian's City Council building (Ayuntamiento de San Sebastián). Donostia's main casino, constructed in 1887, was located here previously. Queen Mary Christina of Austria herself honored the opening ceremony with her presence. However, in 1924 a ban on gambling was introduced and the institution was closed. The city council moved here in 1945.
There is the Miramar Palace (Palacio de Miramar) at La Concha Bay, the construction of which was commissioned by the royal family in the late 19th century.
The close relationship between Donostia and the Royal Spanish Crown began with Isabella II of Spain, who began spending the summer here in the mid-19th century to be able to take sea baths regularly. These ties were further strengthened when Maria Cristina of Austria, wife of Alfonso XII, became a widow and began to spend the summer months in San Sebastian. The Royal Summer Residence was required in this regard, and Maria Christina ordered its construction to the English architect Selden Wornum. They chose a large estate for the palace over La Concha bay, where the San Sebastian El Antiguo monastery was located.
The palace's construction was completed in 1893, and in 1920 another structure was added under the "Pabellón del Príncipe" ("Prince's Pavilion") name.
In 1929, the palace passed to Alfonso XIII, the son of the deceased Maria Cristina, but already in 1931, during the Second Spanish Republic, the government confiscated it. Two years later, Miramar passed into the hands of Donostia's city council with the condition that it will continue to serve as a summer residence for the President of the Republic, and part of its premises will be used for educational and cultural purposes. After Franco came to power, the Miramar Palace was returned to the property of Alfonso XIII's children, mainly don Juan de Borbon.
San Sebastian's city council nevertheless redeemed the Miramar Palace in 1972, and it is open to the public now with its beautiful gardens. Important receptions and events are held in the palace gardens and halls, for example, for the International Film Festival in San Sebastian. Miramar Palace Hotel hosts Basque Country University Summer Courses.
Fortunately, the exterior of Miramar Palace, made in a purely English style with a small amount of neo-Gothic decorations, has been preserved in its original form. Inside, the original majestic halls have been preserved, such as the White Hall, the Wooden Hall, the Petit Salon, the Library and the Royal Dining Room. The rest of the Palace has been renovated successively since it was acquired by the City Council, making it more functional. The last works were conducted in 2001 to build classrooms for «Musikene» (Higher School of Music of the Basque Country), and in 2007, the tower of the Palace was refurbished.
If you want to see personally the famous "postcard" view of La Concha bay and the city of San Sebastian spread out between the mountains, you need to go up to the observation deck located on Igeldo mountain (Monte Igueldo). You can have a great time on the mountain as there is an amusement park too which opened in 1925. If you travel around the city on foot, then it is quite possible to climb Igeldo on your own. But those who wandered around San Sebastian all day and were pretty tired can take the funicular boarding at the end of Ondarreta Beach.
Another significant mountain – Urgull (Monte Urgull) rises right in the city center; there is a giant statue of Jesus Christ (over 12 meters high) at its top. In general, the park area on Mount Urgull is very pleasant to walk around especially on a hot sunny day. At the same time, there are several hiking routes for climbing the mountain of varying difficulty, from which you can choose the most suitable. And historical building lovers will be able to explore the remains of the medieval fortress of La Mota (Castillo de la Mota), as well as visit the city's history museum located here for free. The fortress observation platforms offer stunning panoramic views.
There is the popular Zurriola Beach on the other side of the Urumea River – a place that is considered more democratic and not as pathos as La Concha. There is also a promenade from which you can watch the many surfers.
Traditionally, a variety of events and festivals are held on Zurriola, including concerts of the Jazzaldia International Jazz Festival.
Here is also located one of the most famous and iconic buildings of San Sebastian – the Kursaal Congress Centre and Auditorium.
Kursaal Congress Centre and Auditorium (Palacio de Congresos-Auditorio Kursaal) is a complex comprising of several spaces: a great auditorium, 1,800-seat concert hall, exhibition halls. Kursaal was opened in 1999 and was designed by Spanish architect Rafael Moneo. In 2001, the congress center was awarded the European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture. The San Sebastián International Film Festival takes place here. The present "Kursaal" stands on the site of the former "Great Kursaal" elegant palace, which was erected in 1921 but was demolished in 1973. The former palace housed a casino, restaurant, cinema, and theater.
The modern Kursaal building consists of two large prisms erected on a single base. The facade of each prism or "cube" is made of translucent glass panels laid on a metal frame. There is a terrace between the large and small cubes overlooking Zurriola beach. The Donostia Jazz Festival ("Jazzaldia") concerts are held here like on the beach itself, as well as many other events.
The main concert hall is located in the large cube closest to the sea, and large-scale events are held here also, such as the International Film Festival. If space is required for the orchestra, the front rows of seats in the concert hall can be removed easily.
There is a chamber hall for 600 seats in the small cube. It mainly hosts small concerts, congresses, and conferences.
The impressive bright and constantly changing Kursaal night illumination creates a unique city look and a special atmosphere.
Near Kursaal, the Zurriola bridge (Puente la Zurriola) spanned across the river with very spectacular lampposts designed by Victor Arana in the Art Deco style.
Among other San Sebastian contemporary architecture masterpieces, it is also worth mentioning the 2011 Basque Culinary Center building and the Higher School of Music of the Basque Country – Musikene (2016).
The Basque Culinary Center, resembling a stack of giant plates, is located in Miramon Technology Park.
Musikene Music School, located in the Benta Berri district, is a large black piano-lacquered building of modern shapes with a golden roof – a kind of reference to the colors of musical instruments.
One of the main historical symbols and attractions of San Sebastian is the Maria Cristina Bridge (Puente de María Cristina) over the Uruméa River. Prior to the construction of this bridge in 1893, a temporary wooden bridge was located on this site, across which residents could easily get from downtown to the North Station and the bullfighting arena.
The current bridge was opened on January 20th, 1905, on St. Sebastian's Day. It was built from reinforced concrete, which was a novelty for that time, with three arches. It is 20 meters wide and 88 long. Four monumental 18-meter obelisks were erected at the ends of the bridge. They were crowned with sculptural groups – the same as those on the Paris bridge of Alexander III.
There is another symbol of the city in the Amara district – the Cathedral of the Good Shepherd (Catedral del Buen Pastor de San Sebastián, or Artzain Onaren katedrala in Basque), the most outstanding religious building of Donostia and the largest in Gipuzkoa. The construction of this powerful and aspiring temple took place in the last years of the 19th century in a historical neo-Gothic style from the slate and stone of Mount Igeldo. Interestingly, all the workers involved in the construction were Basque.
The Church of the Good Shepherd was officially opened in 1897. Queen Regent Maria Cristina of Austria, her son King Alfonso XIII, and Infanta Maria Teresa of Spain, who laid the first stone at the beginning of construction, were present at the opening ceremony. The cathedral tower was completed in 1899 under the direction of Ramon Cortazar. The temple lancet arches are inspired by the medieval churches of Germany and France, while the slender bell tower located on the entrance portico is inspired by the spires of Cologne Cathedral. The main facade is the "Cross of the World" by the famous sculptor Eduardo Chillida. This work was a gift from the artist to the cathedral, which celebrated its centenary in 1997. A cross carved from a piece of alabaster preserves the original stone texture.
The temple nave height is 25 m, the tower is 75 m, the central nave length is 64 m, and the width is 36 m. The cathedral is able to accommodate 4,000 people. Along with its size, the grandiose stained-glass windows of the cathedral make a great impression. The organ installed in 1954 in the cathedral is the second in the history of the temple. According to data published at the time, it was the largest organ in Spain and one of the largest in Europe.
The temple dedicated to the Good Shepherd received the status of a cathedral in 1953.
The second most important church of San Sebastian is located in the Old Town; it is a very beautiful and elegant Baroque Basilica of Saint Mary of Coro (Basílica de Nuestra Señora del Coro). This is a Roman Catholic parish church with a minor basilica status. It was built in 1774 on the site of an old medieval church.
The main entrance, decorated in Baroque style with references to the Churrigueresque style, is located between the two towers and looks like an altar with the St. Sebastian martyrdom and papal symbols confirming a minor basilica status. The shield of the city crowns the building. Interestingly, the basilica's main entrance is directly in front of the San Sebastian Cathedral's entrance.
In general, the Old Town is divided into two parishes belonging to two churches: the Basilica of Saint Mary and the Church of San Vicente. Residents attending the first church are traditionally called joxemaritarrak, while those belonging to the second church are called koxkeroak. Moreover, koxkeroaks were mainly Gascons until the beginning of the 18th century.
The San Vicente Church is located at the foot of the mountain, at the other end of the same street on which the Basilica of Saint Mary is built. This medieval church, built in the first half of the 16th century, is considered the oldest in Donostia, while its building was part of an ancient fortress in the past. Inside the temple is the magnificent original altar of 1586 by Ambrosio de Bengoechea and Juan de Iriarte. Among the other sights of the church, it is worth highlighting the 1968 French organ by Cavaillé-Coll (a famous craftsman), the impressive stained glass windows, and the "Pieta" sculpture by Jorge Oteiza, located on one side of the facade.
Another impressive sculpture by Jorge Oteiza called "Construcción Vacía" ("Void Construction") is located on the New Promenade (Paseo Nuevo). This work, which received an award at the Biennale in Sao Paulo half a century ago, is now a benchmark in the field of contemporary art. The sculpture produces the greatest effect during a storm when huge waves hit the embankment.
Speaking about the contemporary sculptural installations of Donostia, one cannot fail to note the famous work of Eduardo Chillida – "Dedication to Fleming", which stands in the center of La Concha.
Thus, the sculptor paid a personal tribute to the penicillin inventor. The structure was made of iron initially, in 1955, the year the Scottish scientist died. However, in 1990, the artist replaced it with a granite installation.
A 7-meter sculpture of Bakearen Usoa ("Peace Dove"), created in the 80s by the artist Néstor Basterretxea, is installed on Zurriola's seafront. This dove symbolizes the desire of the city for freedom and peaceful coexistence.
San Sebastian's museums and parks
San Sebastian's main museum is San Telmo (San Telmo Museoa, or STM for short) which is a museum about Basque society and citizenship dedicated to traditional and contemporary Basque culture, art and history of the people in the European and world context. Since 1932, it has been located at the Zuloaga plaza in the old town, at the foot of the Urgull hill.
San Telmo is presented as a museum and, at the same time, as a place "to disseminate knowledge and create thought." Many Basque Country citizens consider it is an instrument to understand the present and build the future from encounters with the past and with Basque society roots.
In 2011, a significant redistribution of museum objects took place. The city authorities expanded the 16th-century convent of Dominican friars of San Telmo. The monastery, built in the Renaissance style, preserved the old church, decorated with canvases by the Catalan artist Jose Maria Sert.
The museum received a Special Mention in the 2013 best European museum contest organized annually by the Museum Forum.
The art funds of the San Telmo Museum consist of paintings and sculptures, 200 of which are on display. The works of universally recognized masters such as El Greco, Sorolla, Ignacio Zuloaga are among them.
The items on display in the permanent exhibition range from a collection of grave-stones included in the section "Signs of Spirituality", to later items, Muhammad XII of Granada, "Boabdil"s sword or Ignatius of Loyola's spiritual exercises, to modern objects, such as bicycles, a Seat 600 car, or historic Real Sociedad and Athletic Club Bilbao football jerseys showcased in the "Awakening of Modernity" section.
Besides the permanent exhibition, housed for the most part in the old building complex, the museum hosts temporary exhibitions accommodated in the newly erected facilities.
In the museum inside the church, the "Challenges for Our Society" audiovisual is projected ushering the audience into an itinerary summarizing the key challenges for the Basque society in the near future, i.e. sustainability, interculturality, equality, Europe, and Human Rights.
Tabakalera Museum of Modern Art is located east of Urumea. Once, there was a tobacco factory which gave its name to the museum. The tobacco factory was closed in 2003 after 90 years of operation. The building contains a contemporary art collection, a cinema theatre, a multi-purpose hall, a creative library called Ubik, media labs called Hirikilabs, spaces for art creation, a cafeteria called Taba, a residence for artists, and a four-star hotel, called One Shot Tabakalera House. It also hosts the headquarters of local culture institutions Kutxa Kultur, the Basque Film Archive, the San Sebastián International Film Festival, the Elías Querejeta Film School and the Etxepare Basque Institute.
The Maritime Museum (Museo Naval) is in Donostia's city port. The museum's small collection tells the story of the Basque shipbuilding, fishing, and whaling industries.
There is one of the largest city parks – Cristina Enea in the Egia area, behind the station; its area is about 95 thousand square meters. It is an ideal place to disconnect from the bustle of the city without leaving it.
At the end of the 19th century, the park, which occupies the Duke of Mandas' private lands and is named after his wife, was donated by the duke to the city. There is the Mandas Palace inside the park, which houses the Center for Environmental Resources (Centro de Recursos Medioambientales) now.
Walking along the coast of San Sebastian, do not miss the Miramar Palace gardens. Miramar Gardens smoothly descend from the impressive English-style mansion to the sea with a network of neat gravel paths and flower beds. And although Miramar Gardens are inferior in size to Kristina Enea Park, in popularity among tourists they are ahead of many green areas of the city. The gardens' special location – on a hill, between the two main beaches, allows you to admire the magnificent views of the bay and the island of Santa Clara, as well as the Miramar Palace itself among the impeccably trimmed greenery. Other beautiful views are from the bay waters to this entire park and palace complex.
Another small English public garden is located in Gipuzkoa Square (Plaza Guipuzcoa), directly opposite the Palace of the Council (El Palacio de la Diputacion). This romantic and charming green space resembles a small English park in the heart of the city. The park is famous for its diverse trees, flowers, and plants, as well as a picturesque pond with ducks and swans.
There is the majestic Aiete Park (Aiete parkea) on the hills west of San Sebastian's downtown. There is a magnificent neoclassical palace inside the park which was the site of the summer residence of Queen Isabelle II, Queen Victoria of England, Queen Mary Christine, and King Alfonso XIII before the Miramar Palace was built. From 1941 to 1975, Aiete Palace served as the dictator Franco's summer residence. Here is the House of Peace and Human Rights now.
The famous French gardener Pierre Ducasse designed all four parks.
The most outstanding feature of the Ametzagaina Park (Parque Ametzagaina), which stretches over the hills between Otxoki Street on one side and Loiola District on the other, is its size. The park's area of 380,000 square meters makes it the largest city park in San Sebastian. We can say that this is a real forest in the city with vast groves of leaf-bearing trees and meadows. The park's highlight is the surviving remains of an ancient fort which dates back to the Carlist Wars.
In the vicinity of the Ulia mountain, there is the eponymous Park of Nurseries of Ulia (Parque de Viveros de Ulía), with a size of more than 14,500 square meters. It is named Flower Garden also on account of the nurseries held inside, which provided the plants for the Donostia public gardens during the 20th century. Ulia Mountain Park is of great value – there are two ancient deposits of water (Soroborda and Buskando) and interesting architectural elements on its territory; the specific flora and fauna inhabit the park.
In its monthly organized sessions in the park by Seo/BirdLife of Donostia, the members of this association have observed up to 32 bird species, which live in the Ulia Park, including red kite, red-hawk, common buzzard, big spotted woodpecker, ringed dove, songbird, and red-headed kinglet (the park's symbol).
At least 39 species of trees grow in the park, most of which were brought from other countries and continents. Among them are trailing abutilon, bamboo, bougainvillea, Cordyline, wintercreeper, noble laurel, boxwood, Fuchsia Magellanica, cherry plum, cherry laurel, yew tree, oleander, sycamore tree, crepe myrtle, privet, plantain, fatsia japonica, magnolia, jasmine, acanthus, Canary date, fig, thuja, and cedar.
Amphibians such as common midwife toad, salamander, and newt live at the ponds in the park.
South of the Ulia Park, on the coast, is the Donostia Aquarium with a glass tunnel through which a wide variety of fish swim, including predatory sharks, stingrays, and jellyfish. Representatives of the Bay of Biscay (Cantabrian Sea) waters and tropical seas live in over 30 aquariums. You can also see an incubator where shark and stingray eggs are grown, and watch films about underwater inhabitants. In addition to the aquariums themselves, the complex includes a museum of oceanography, which interestingly covers the Basque seafaring and fisheries history. Full admission costs 13 euros.
San Sebastian's beaches
The attractive San Sebastian coastline, interspersed with picturesque mountains, has given several beautiful beaches for the city residents and guests. All Donostia's beaches are of golden sand and equipped with the most necessary things – toilets, changing cabins, beach equipment rental, as well as numerous bars and cafes.
Perhaps the main beach of Donostia and the most popular one is La Concha central beach, which stretches for almost 1.5 kilometers. Located directly in the bay of La Concha and thus protected from strong waves, it gives its visitors a wonderful vacation and stunning views.
There is the 600-meter Ondarreta Beach (Playa de Ondareta) between Miramar Palace and Mount Igeldo. This beach is also calm, wide and clean, very suitable for a relaxing family vacation.
You can't say the same about Zurriola beach, which is located 800 meters on the other side of the Urumea river – it is almost always windy here, because of which active sea sports lovers choose it, especially surfers. In this regard, there are rental points for surf equipment and a school for training in this sport on the beach. In addition, various cultural events and concerts are often held on Zurriolla.
San Sebastian's cuisine and gastronomy. Michelin star restaurants
Donostia is famous for its Basque cuisine. There are a great number of quality and famous restaurants in San Sebastian and its environs, including restaurants with Michelin stars, for example, Arzak (San Sebastian), Berasategui (Lasarte), Akelarre (Igeldo district), and Mugaritz (Renteria). San Sebastian is the second city in the world with the largest number of Michelin stars per capita, in this, it is second to the Japanese city of Kyoto only. In addition, two of the ten best restaurants in the world are located in San Sebastian according to ratings from 2013.
The main traditional dishes of Basque cuisine are meat and fish cooked on the grill and on hot coals, marmitako (originally Basque tuna and potato dish) and lamb, stew, cod, Tolosa black beans, paprika from Lekeitio, pinchos (Basque tapas), Idiazabal cheese, Chacoli slightly sparkling wine, and Basque cider.
As the Basque Country is divided into coastal and mountainous parts, the cuisine has a lot of variety. Fish and seafood predominate in coastal cuisine, while meat, vegetables, legumes, freshwater fish and salt cod dominate in the continental cuisine. The French and Spanish influence on both sides of the Basque border is also noticeable.
Jews once expelled from Spain and Portugal, set up the production of chocolate and confectionery in Bayonne, known until now, and part of the rich Basque pastry tradition. Basque meals often include tomatoes and sweet or hot red peppers. Paprika is often used in ham, sausages and many other dishes. Olive oil is more commonly used than vegetable oil in Basque cooking.
In the 1970s and 1980s, Basque chefs were influenced by the nouvelle cuisine of France and created the nouvelle Basque cuisine, radically original in its form but solidly Basque in substance, with lighter and less rustic versions of traditional dishes and flavors. In more recent years, young chefs, such as Martin Berasategui, have given new impetus to Basque cuisine.
Basques made and named the famous Spanish tapas in their own way – pintxos, which are considered real works of culinary art here.
Many tapas bars in Donostia serve modern style pintxos using the latest technology and ingredients.
In San Sebastian, as well as throughout the Basque Country, chokos (txokos) are very popular – special closed gastronomic communities where entire companies gather (mainly men) and prepare different dishes, as well as share recipes and information on where to buy those or other ingredients at competitive prices, and other culinary secrets.
The opening of the Basque Culinary Center, a higher education institution in the field of culinary in San Sebastian, once again demonstrates how important the art of cooking is in Basque life.
San Sebastian's holidays and festivals
Every year on January 20th (the feast of San Sebastián), the people of San Sebastian celebrate a festival known as the "Tamborrada", which means the drum parade. Events begin at 12 a.m. on January 19th in Constitution Square, when the mayor raises the city flag. Drumming starts with "Sociedad Gaztelubide" and tunes by Raimundo Sarriegui and continues for the next 24 hours. Adults dressed as cooks and soldiers march around the city with drums all night.
The holiday originated in 1836 as part of the local carnival. Over time, festival participants began to put on the same uniform for Tamborrada that city soldiers wear. As the number of festival participants increased, other groups of participants with different uniforms began to appear.
January 20th on the San Sebastian streets is almost impossible not to meet at least one Tamborrada drummer. More than 125 groups (each with 20-50 snare drums and 50-100 barrels, accompanied by a brass band, gonfaloniers, and canteen keepers), revitalize the city streets with their invigorating melodies and dances.
During the holiday, citizens usually have dinner in chokos, which traditionally admitted only males, but nowadays even the strictest ones allow women on the "Noche de la Tamborrada". They eat sophisticated meals cooked by themselves, mostly composed of seafood and drink the best wines.
Tamborrada is the most celebrated holiday of the year for Donostia's residents.
At 12 A.M. on January 20th, also in Constitution Square, this cheerful holiday ends, the flag lowers, and the celebration stops until next year, which often causes sincere tears for local residents.
Great Week (Semana Grande, or Aste Nagusia in Basque) is held in San Sebastian in mid-August. The holiday's beginning, starting at 19:00 in the gardens of Alderdi Eder, is heralded by a traditional cannon shot.
One of the most important components of the Semana Grande is the International Fireworks Competition, held right in the middle of La Concha Bay, in which companies from all over the world take part. In addition, concerts during the Great Week are held with many world music stars performing.
Caldereros festival has been held in Donostia since 1884 on the first Saturday of February, during which the townspeople, dressed in gypsy clothes, take to the streets and, hammering or drumming on pots and pans, move from bar to bar, singing traditional songs. Men only participated in this action previously but women have joined them now.
Another significant city holiday is celebrated annually on December 21st – this is St. Thomas (Santo Tomas) Day. San Sebastian turns into a huge farmer's market on this day, and the main highlight of the program is chistorra (txistorra) – a fresh sausage similar to chorizo. Kiosks are installed throughout the city, offering all kinds of products and handicrafts, mainly produced by local farms. The most popular ones are cheeses, honey, chistorra, cider, and pastries.
The celebration of St. Thomas's Day dates back to the mid-19th century when the inhabitants of the provincial villages (baserritarras) came into the city to pay the annual rent to their landlords. In order to get the maximum benefit from their visit to the city, the peasants sold their own products and bought what they needed in return. And, an annual fair formed overtime on Constitution Square.
On Christmas Eve, the local Basque Santa Claus, Olentzero and Christmas carol singers, dressed like Basque farmers, take to the streets of the city, sing and collect donations in bars, shops, and banks. Sometimes Olentzero and his singers walk the streets after Christmas, even on December 31st, and take active citizenship, voicing certain opinions and demands of a social, cultural, and political nature.
The International Film Festival (Festival de San Sebastián, or Donostia Zinemaldia in Basque) is held in Donostia every year at the end of September. Since its inception in 1953, it has established itself as one of the 14 most important film festivals in the world of the "A" category accredited by FIAPF (International Federation of Film Producers Associations).
Actors and directors such as Batt Davis, Gloria Swanson, Gregory Peck, Glenn Ford, Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, Charlton Heston, Robert De Niro, Meryl Streep, Richard Gere, Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Mel Gibson, Demi Moore, Naomi Watts, and Brad Pitt have been there and have been attending the festival since its inception.
At the end of October and the beginning of November, the theaters and streets of San Sebastian turn into an impromptu horror film, hosting the Horror and Fantasy. Movies from the program are accompanied by concerts and exhibitions.
Donostia also hosts the Street Zinema international audio-visual festival, dedicated to contemporary art and urban culture, and the Surfilm Festival that is the short film festival on surfing.
The most important event in the San Sebastian musical life is the Heineken Jazzaldia Jazz Festival, held annually in the third week of July and lasting five days.
The festival was held first in 1966, and at that time was the first jazz festival in Spain. It is one of the oldest jazz festivals in Europe now. About 100 concerts are held across twelve stages throughout the city during the Heineken Jazzaldia. Admission is free for some of these; you need to buy a ticket for others; some concerts are held outdoors, and some indoors. Most of the spectators gather at concerts held on the Zurriola Beach and the Kursaal terraces. The festival had an audience of 171,500 people in 2018.
Jazz stars such as Charles Mingus, Ella Fitzgerald, Oscar Peterson, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, Ray Charles, Sarah Vaughan, Jerry Mulligan, "Weather Report", Hank Jones, BB King, Van Morrison, Lisa Minnelli, Chick Corea, Keith Jarrett, Ray Gelato and many others appeared at various times on the Jazzaldia stage.
Regarding sports festivals, it is worth mentioning the classic swimmers from Getaria to San Sebastian, horse racing, a beach volleyball tournament, and herri-kirolak (traditional rural Basque competitions).

Thursday It Is for WSOP.com Real-Money Online Poker in Nevada
By Cliff Spiller
September 17th, 2013 | Last updated on November 2nd, 2018
Home » Poker News » Thursday It Is for WSOP.com Real-Money Online Poker in Nevada
The real-money online poker market in Nevada is about to get a little bit more crowded, with Caesars Entertainment announcing on a much-anticipated conference call yesterday that it will be launching its WSOP.com-themed site this coming Thursday, September 19.
To date, only one other real-money online poker room has opened in the state of Nevada, which was the first in the nation to pass legislation allowing for online gambling regulation when it did so back in 2011. The first site to go live was Ultimate Poker, having launched its site in late April of this year.
First site to launch featuring premier branding
The World Series of Poker is arguably the most famous – and most distinguished – live poker tournament around. Dating back to 1970, the 43-year history enjoyed by the event has made it one of Caesars' most valuable assets, so it comes as little surprise that the company is utilizing the WSOP brand in its launch of Nevada online poker.
"Beginning Thursday, September 19, Nevadans and the nearly 40 million annual visitors to the state enter a new era of poker as the world's most-trusted, oldest and most prestigious poker brand – the World Series of Poker (WSOP) – offers real-money online poker in the United States in the State of Nevada for the first time – exclusively at WSOP.com," read a press release put out by Caesars after the announcement of the start date.
One lure for the site is that players will be able to win seats in the live event by playing online, something that has the potential to appeal to players at every level of the game.
"WSOP.com will be the exclusive destination for online players in Nevada to win seats into the land-based World Series of Poker, which has given away more than $1.8 billion to players during its history, including more than $197 million in 2013 alone," the company said via its press release.
Whether tourists will come to play online poker as yet unknown
Gambling companies are anticipating – and no doubt hoping – that tourists will come to Nevada not only to play poker and other casino games at land-based casino resorts, but also will log on to Internet-based poker rooms to try the virtual versions, as well.
Those who wish to play real-money online poker in Nevada will be required to be physically present in the state when logging on to the sites, and as with other forms of legalized gambling, must be over the age of twenty-one. So far, Nevada law only allows for the playing of online poker to the exclusion of other games. By contrast, in New Jersey and Delaware, thus far the only other states in the nation to pass online gambling legislation, a comprehensive suite of games will be on offer when sites go live in those locations later on this fall.
Tourism issue also important on the east coast
As for New Jersey, the issue of online gambling tourism is even more important.
The Garden State has been struggling for years with declining gambling revenue, and its iGaming law was passed in part as a means of shoring up the flagging Atlantic City casino economy. Surely the eyes of New Jersey regulators and casino operators will be closely observing what happens as the online poker market continues to expand in Nevada, as that state is also hoping that tourists will flock to Atlantic City not only for brick and mortar casinos, but for their online counterparts as well.
Part of what has been troubling the Atlantic City gambling industry is the continuing expansion of land-based casino gambling in neighboring Pennsylvania. Though online gambling has yet to be regulated there, it has long been one of the states to watch in terms of the possibility of regulation going through.
New Jersey may very well find that Internet wagering isn't the boost it has been hoping for, particularly if Pennsylvania follows suit and decides to pass online wagering legislation itself.

'Xavi will be Barcelona coach one day' – Bartomeu backs club icon, but supports Setien for now
13:00 GMT+3 16/01/2020
The Camp Nou president expects a familiar face to occupy the dugout at some stage, but a new appointment has complete backing in the present
Xavi may not have returned to Camp Nou as successor to Ernesto Valverde but the club legend "will be the coach of Barcelona one day", says club president Josep Maria Bartomeu.
Ahead of taking the decision to make a change in the dugout, the Blaugrana icon was sounded out.
Xavi is cutting his coaching teeth in Qatar after hanging up his boots, with the World Cup winner calling the shots at Al-Sadd.
Talks were held regarding a homecoming in Catalunya as Valverde was edged towards the exits.
The decision was taken not to make such a sizeable jump at this stage of the 39-year-old's managerial career, with the reins instead handed to former Real Betis boss Quique Setien.
Barca are fully committed to their new appointment, despite there being a break clause in his contract, and will back him on and off the field with whatever he needs.
There is, however, acknowledgement from Bartomeu that Xavi will be brought back to familiar surroundings at some stage.
He told Sport: "The door is open to many coaches, but now we have a manager, Quique Setien.
"He's signed for two-and-a-half years and I've explained the break clause in 2021 due to elections. If a new president wants to change the manager, they can.
"But, clearly, Xavi will be the coach of Barça one day, I have no doubt. He is very capable, he's a person that perfectly understands our football, he's hugely keen to do it and one day he will.
"But now it's Quique Setien and I think and I hope it goes really well because he's arrived full of motivation and he's said he will follow our philosophy and style of play.
"There will be variations, of course, he will have his nuances, but I think with the players and talent we have, plus Quique Setien, it will go really well.
"However, I also want to say that Ernesto Valverde's done a magnificent job. We're grateful for the success and the trophies, his way of being, his talent, his professionalism and above all his intelligence.
"He's left many good things at the club but it was the moment to give a new impulse to the team."
Setien's first game in charge of the reigning La Liga champions will see them take in a home date with Granada on Sunday.


Blackburn chairman John Williams has revealed new manager Paul Ince will start taking steps towards his coaching badges "very quickly".
Ince has been given dispensation by the Premier League to gain the mandatory UEFA Pro Licence in two years and the former England midfielder, who has a three-year deal at Ewood Park, intends to enrol on courses run by the Football Association.
Williams said: "Paul will be on a course very quickly - they are virtually non-stop. It is a very tight timeline, a very disciplined timeline and the fact it is now embodied into his contract of employment is testimony to how serious he takes it."
He added: "He realises the significance and importance of having the qualifications. He will be doing his B licence, A licence then Pro licence.
"These things are sequential and Paul needs to be in a position to start the Pro licence in the summer of 2010.
"In order to do that it will be nose to the grindstone for him from day one."
Ince has thanked the board for securing a two-year window from the league to enable him to get the correct qualifications.
He said: "The chairman has worked very hard to get the green light. It would have been very easy for him with the problems regarding the badges to go and get someone else.
"But he pursued the matter and has given me an opportunity, which is fantastic."


Today we went to a little chinese joint where the food is above average. It's not close to us so we go anytime we are in the neighborhood. I noticed on the wall they have the report from their mystery shop. In fact they have it framed.
I just thought it was vaguely interesting because I've never seen the end result before. They had the score (98.2%) in very large bold letters with the breakup of each department beneath. It was clearly formatted to hang on a wall.
The company was About Face.
I have seen similar once and it was for a medical uniform supply store called Scrubs and Beyond.
I have often seen this at my local grocery store and at a couple of mid-level casual dining places.
Well at least they didn't have a framed picture of the mystery shopper hanging on the wall!
Right? The mystery shopper could have been there while I was. A guy across from me finished eating and then went to the cashier and asked for a receipt.
I sometimes wonder if locations I am at, outside of shopping, is being shopped because of some of the things that people do. Or maybe, our instructions aren't as awkward as I think sometimes.
This is a little off the topic but I did a shop for a cellular company that I don't think has been shopped before (new client for msc). I could tell because the customer service was terrible. The salesguy couldn't have cared less and right after he talked to me he went in the back room. Mystery shoppers make a difference especially in sales.

There is a place that I visit every once in a while and on the wall above the register it had a frame and it said ____ Mystery Shop 100 % (Or something simillar) and it in the frame it had two or three months for 2018.
I have never noticed that before. Not sure if it has been there or it is somehting new that they have put on the wall.

PRESS RELEASE- I Survived A Secret Nazi Extermination Camp
February 26, 2015 at 10:32 pm Leave a comment
It's taken a long time, but at last we are launching the new book:
DEATH CAMP SURVIVOR'S STORY
LIVES ON OVER 70 YEARS LATER
Title: I Survived a Secret Nazi Extermination Camp
Author: Rudolf Reder, with a memoir by Mark Forstater
Genre: Second World War/ The Holocaust
Publisher: Psychology News Press
ISBN: 978-090-763337-2
SRP: £8.99
Publication: 26th March 2015
PLACE: Belzec, occupied Poland
It was March 1942. The Second World War had been going on for already twoand a half years. Across Europe, there had been a continual rounding-up of communists, gypsies, Jews, homosexuals and other so-called 'undesirables' for even longer. The term 'concentration camp' had become a byword for the ruthless efficiency of the German Nazi machine.
But nothing could have prepared the world for the process that was about to get underway in South-East Poland. The concentration camp at Belzec was to become the very first Nazi death camp. This was the world that Rudolf Reder, a Polish Jew from the nearby town of Lvov, found himself thrust into.
I Survived a Secret Nazi Extermination Camp is the harrowing and extraordinary story of the extermination camp at Belzec, Poland. Belzec is not an instantly recognisable name like Auschwitz or Dachau, and yet some 650,000 Jews and gypsies perished there in just a few months.
Numbers easily become blurs. Six million dead in the Holocaust – impossible to imagine. To give some grasp of reality: the number of those murdered in Belzec exceeds the number of people who live in Glasgow. It is more or less the number of football fans who go to Premier League matches every week; everyone at Old Trafford, the Emirates, Stamford Bridge, Anfield and more….. gassed to death……
One man, however – Rudolf Reder – escaped from Belzec and gave an account of the camp. Mark Forstater has tracked it down and it is the centrepiece of his book, a detailed and horrifying description of a truly dark death machine.
I Survived a Secret Nazi Extermination Camp presents Reder's account of everyday life and death in Belzec and his miraculous escape. Forstater explains how he found the story, why it matters – and why it matters to him.
Nearly every Jew and gypsy who ended up in Belzec died in the gas chambers within two hours of their arrival.
Reder managed to survive for four months for an ironic and macabre reason.He was an engineer and useful to the Nazis in and around the camp. Moreover, he was the only man with the skills needed to repair the tank engine which produced the lethal carbon monoxide gas that was responsible for the brutal deaths of so many. After four months of incarceration Reder was taken to visit his home town of Lvov nearby to collect spare parts for the camp. Fortuitously, three of his guards went for a drink and the fourth fell asleep in the truck. Reder seized his opportunity to escape and was hidden by his former housekeeper who he eventually went on to marry.
Mark Forstater introduces Reder's account and adds a personal memoir. He tells how he learned about the Holocaust growing up in America and how, in his search for his Grandfather's roots in Poland, he discovered Reder's witness statement and through it the fate of his own long lost relatives.
With comparatively little known about Belzec, unlike the other two death camps in Eastern Poland at Sobibor and Treblinka, but with the enormity of the crimes committed there in mind, Forstater increasingly believed that Rudolf Reder's story, harrowing though it is, should be heard in the outside world. And his own heart-rending reflections, brought to life in his engaging and poignant memoir, go a long way to helping square the circle and humanise what is a story of dehumanisation.
I Survived a Secret Nazi Extermination Camp is an important addition to the literature of the Holocaust.
Mark Forstater is best known for his work as a film producer on some thirty films, including Monty Python and the Holy Grail. He is also an author, having published books on philosophy and spirituality that include The Spiritual Teachings of Yoga, The Spiritual Teachings of Marcus Aurelius, The Spiritual Teachings of the Tao, The Spiritual Teachings of Seneca and The Living Wisdom of Socrates.
An American originally from Philadelphia, Mark lives in London. He has been married twice, has four daughters and three grandsons.
I Survived a Secret Nazi Extermination Camp is published by Psychology News Press and is available at £8.99 from reputable bookshops, online at http://www.amazon.co.uk , from the dedicated website http://www.isurvived.org.uk/ or direct from the publisher at http://www.psychologynews.org.uk .

US Senate takes the first step to temporarily block F-35 deliveries to Turkey
by Daily Sabah with Wires
ISTANBUL Jun 19, 2018 - 12:00 am GMT+3
|Reuters file photo
by Daily Sabah with Wires Jun 19, 2018 12:00 am
The U.S. Senate took a step late Monday to block the delivery of F-35 warplanes to Turkey with an amendment in a $716 billion defense policy bill.
The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) bill containing the amendment that aims to prohibit F-35 sales to Turkey still needs to be passed by the House and is not expected to become law until later in the summer.
Turkey's Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu said earlier that Turkey would turn to other markets if the United States does not allow it to buy Lockheed Martin's F-35 jets.
Çavuşoğlu said Russia or any other country that is a NATO member could be an alternative and that it would not be right to depend only on one country. "Turkey cannot remain without alternatives or help," the foreign minister added.
"If the U.S. imposes sanctions on us or takes such a step, Turkey will absolutely retaliate. What needs to be done is the U.S. needs to let go of this," the Foreign Minister said in another speech.
The NDAA bill backs President Donald Trump's call for a bigger, stronger military but also sets up a potential battle with the White House over Chinese telecommunications firm ZTE Corp.
Before it can become law, the bill must be reconciled with one already passed by the House of Representatives. That compromise measure must then be passed by both chambers and signed into law by Trump.
Lockheed Martin, the maker of the warplane, said that it still expects to hand over F-35s to Turkey in a ceremony that is set to take place in Fort Worth, Texas on June 21.
Trump may veto the bill over the sanctions it proposes against the Chinese telecom company ZTE.
The bill is more likely to include a much less stringent provision, included in the House bill, that would bar the Defense Department from dealing with any entity using telecommunications equipment or services from ZTE or Huawei Technologies, another Chinese company.
Ankara has previously slammed plans to block Turkey's role in the making of the F-35s. Parliamentary Foreign Affairs Committee Head Volkan Bozkır said that the U.S. has been threatening Turkey with a move regarding the F-35 deal if Turkey purchased S-400 missile defense systems from Russia.
ASELSAN, a Turkish defense giant that developed electronic optical targeting systems and air intervention controls for F-35 fighter jets, is also of the opinion that such a move would harm the U.S.
ASELSAN Chairman Haluk Görgün said that the F-35 project would collapse altogether if the U.S. decided to halt the delivery of the jets to Turkey. "It is not possible. It would collapse the F-35 program. I consider this as a personal statement. Turkey is a significant partner in this project," Görgün said.
Turkey ordered 100 aircraft – including, according to reports, F-35B short takeoff and vertical landing (STOVL) variants.
Several Turkish firms are involved in the making of the fighter jets as part of Turkey's partner role in the joint program. For instance, Alp Aviation partook in the production of the bodywork and landing gear. Ayesaş supplied the missile remote control interface and panoramic cockpit imaging system, and Fokker Elma produced electrical cabling and internal connection systems for F-35s. Moreover, Havelsan provided the training systems for F-35 jets, while Kale Aviation produced the body structure, connections and landing gear locking systems.

UN Secretary General arrives Nigeria
Posted by News Express | 23 August 2015 | 3,264 times
The Secretary General of the United Nations, Mr Ban Ki Moon, has arrived Nigeria in company of Mr Mohammed Ibn Chambers and seven others.
The Secretary General is expected to meet with President Muhammadu Buhari later today.
He is also expected to meet with the Nigeria Governors' Forum (NGF) and leaders of the business community during the visit.
Talks during the meetings with the nation's leaders would focus on "Pathways to a new Nigeria-Role of Sub-National Governments".
Mr Ki-Moon will also lay wreath to commemorate the 4th Anniversary of the attack on the United Nation's House, in Abuja and embark on a field visit to Kuje Area Council.
During the two-day visit, he will also hold dialogue and lunch with Nigerian Business actors under the theme "The role of Nigerian Business and Economy in Implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and addressing Climate Change".
The UN Secretary-General will further hold talks aimed at deepening Nigeria's democracy with government officials on the theme "Democracy, Sustainable Development, and Countering Violent Extremism".
Mr Ki-moon's visit is coming in the month that Nigeria is presiding over the UN Security Council and most African countries have said they would leverage on the opportunity to present security challenges facing some African countries. They expect to get the Council's support in addressing the challenges.
On Wednesday, the UN called for support for nearly 1.5 Internally Displaced Persons in Nigeria's North-East, as a result of terrorists activities.
The Kaduna State Ministry of Budget & Planning (KADMBP) has also announced a dinner event in Abuja in honor of Mr Ban Ki-moon.
The dinner, expected to take place after the meeting with the Nigeria Governor's Forum, will be hosted by Governor Nasir El-Rufai.
Those expected to attend the event include Mr. Ki-Moon (as stated), Hajiya Amina J Mohammed, his Special Adviser on SDGs, as well as other members of his team. On the side of the Kaduna State Government, the Governor El-Rufai, Hadiza Bala Usman (Chief of Staff), Balarabe Abbas (SSG) Jimi Lawal (Special Adviser, Investment & Promotion), Muyiwa Adekeye (Special Adviser, Media & Communications) and the Commissioner of Budget & Planning, Mohammed Sani Abdullahi.
According to the Commissioner of Budget & Planning of Kaduna State, Mohammed Sani Abdullahi, "this meeting between the UN delegation and the El-Rufai-led administration further highlights the seriousness of the administration to partner with any stakeholder that can further the development of the state."

Q: Get data from Instagram API from confirmed project I have two projects linked to one clientID. Project "A" is in sandbox, the "B" one is confirmed. I was calling feed with this type of URL
https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/[userID]/media/recent/?client_id=[clientID]&count=20&access_token=[mySecretToken]

The problem is, that with this type of URL I can retrieve data only for project A. For confirmed project B I always get an error
{"meta": {"error_type": "APINotFoundError", "code": 400, "error_message": "this user does not exist"}}

I'm following the documentation ( https://www.instagram.com/developer/endpoints/users/#get_users_media_recent ) but this absolutely doesn't work outside the sandbox!
In another part of documentation I have found this:

For example, if you query the /users/{user-id}/ endpoint and the {user-id} is a sandbox user, then you will get the normal API response; but if the {user-id} is not a sandbox user, you will get a APINotFound error.

That's really useful information, but I really can' find a way, how can I retrieve data from confirmed (live, reviewed) project.
Can plz anyone help how can I do it?

Q: .NET fulltext autocomplete in a combobox. Any performance-positive way of overriding listitems? I'm struggling to meet a demand from my supervisors. I really hope that someone could give some advice.
Basically there are places in our project where there is a big selection of options. The most concrete example is choosing a city in the world. The items are hundreds of thousands.
Using standard winforms controls and properties, one can search through a list fast.
The problem is that we're using a concatenation of city&district name for all the items. Essentially PREFIX autotomplete works but does not work as needed. The task is to filter and show items by any given string in any part of the item. Essentially a FULL TEXT search in the combobox.
Does anyone have an idea about switching autocomplete sources in runtime relatively qiuckly and handling the suggest/suggestappend event?
Also the project is in VB.NET, though any form of .NET advice will be extremely helpful.
Thanks!

A: The way we address this with very large sets of data (full set of drug information) is:
1) Handle the combo's TextChanged event
2) Within this event, get the list of suggestions that match the user's current input from the database. We leverage the power of database searching to find matches anywhere within the string.
3) When the suggestions are retrieved, bind them to the combobox
4) Wait for a little bit (500ms) to let the UI catch up (we use a combination of System.Threading.Thread.Sleep and System.Windows.Format.Application.DoEvents()).
A couple of notes on this approach:
1) Nothing is bound to the list when the form is first opened
2) We wait until the user has entered at least 4 characters before we start searching to reduce the hit on the DB and improve the user experience (you don't want to show all of the matches for A, for example).
Update with code to show full solution:
Here are some additional notes and code to show the actual process.
The ComboBox should be configured with all of the properties set to their default values with the exception of:
AutoCompleteMode = SuggestAppend
PreferredDropDownSize = 0, 0

Here is the code that we use for our specific situation (searching first four chars) with a placeholder for retrieving and assigning the data:
Private m_fOkToUpdateAutoComplete As Boolean
Private m_sLastSearchedFor As String = ""

Private Sub cboName_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles cboName.KeyDown
    Try
        ' Catch up and down arrows, and don't change text box if these keys are pressed.
        If e.KeyCode = Keys.Up OrElse e.KeyCode = Keys.Down Then
            m_fOkToUpdateAutoComplete = False
        Else
            m_fOkToUpdateAutoComplete = True
        End If
    Catch theException As Exception
        ' Do something with the error

    Try
        If m_fOkToUpdateAutoComplete Then
            With cboName
                If .Text.Length >= 4 Then
                    ' Only do a search when the first 4 characters have changed
                    If Not .Text.Substring(0, 4).Equals(m_sLastSearchedFor, StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase) Then
                        Dim cSuggestions As IEnumerable
                        Dim sError As String = ""

                        ' Record the last 4 characters we searched for
                        m_sLastSearchedFor = .Text.Substring(0, 4)

                        ' And search for those
                        cSuggestions = GetSomeSuggestions(m_sLastSearchedFor) ' Your code here

Saint Helena Bay South Africa
Saint Helena Bay South Africa. St Helena Bay was "discovered" by the Portuguese explorer Vasco Da Gama on 7 Nov. 1497, during his pioneer voyage from Europe to India. He named the bay after Saint Helena, a devout, influential Christian and mother of Roman Emperor Constantine the Great. St Helena Bay is a popular tourist destination, particularly during the spring wild flower season, with visitors from all over the world who come for relaxation and recreation. Ancient granite hills and boulders form a backdrop to the village and offer stunning views of the bay and across to the Piketberg mountains, while the white sandy beaches are perfect for beachcombing and even a refreshing dip in the Atlantic. www.sa-venues.com

Pulls, reels, and threads are some of the most usefull gimmicks to a magician. Just think about the popular ITR (Invisible Thread Reel). But you might say: "I only do cards, I don't need to know these stage methods." Think again. For example, Patrick Page illustrates in what he terms the 'pendulum principle', a method how you can with a simple piece of thread clean up a lapped card such that you can get up from the table clean. So even for the pure pasteboard afficinado, there is something to be found that will take your effect to another level.


Oh sweet feet! Why do we love you so? What is it about your look, your taste, your feel and your smell?! Take away a woman's feet and you take away her power. They control us. We will do anything for them. Give them to us!

Circa Unleashes Victorian Sideshow on the Masses
For a club as massive as Circa, you need massive appeal. Last Friday the megaclub unveiled its new Victorian Sideshow theme.
It wasn't quite over-the-top enough to impress me much, but it kept most of the club kids entertained throughout the night.
Boasting four floors and many little alcoves, there was something for everyone at this place.
Formerly taking part of the space of Playdium, the club at 126 John St. (south of Richmond) is kind of tucked away just below the multiplex cinema that we used to know as Paramount Theatre (now Scotiabank Theatre).
Keep reading for more sideshow antics and outrageous photos....
There were four floors of fun, each with its own thumpa-thumpa vibe.
The first main dance space had a happy, bouncy feel to it. It's kinda hard not to when The Pink Panther visits.
I wasn't quite prepared for a the sight of a roomful of kids frolicking to deep, urban beats while a gigantic TV screen showed Hip Hop Abs. But the crowd ate it up.
That room was a little too packed to move much so I went down another staircase to a floor with a series of small black-lit rooms. One of them was occupied by a buch of trendy hipsters sipping on their colourful drinks.
The circular room soon escalated into an impromptu fashion photo shoot with a bunch of wannabe models and over-eager fashion photogs. I snapped a few shots of them hamming it up for the cameras.
That soon got tiresome, so it was time once again to find another area. And there were many others, each with its own crowd and colour scheme to match. Around the corner from the blacklight booths was a bright room and bar full of cutesy characters that are larger-than-life adult collectibles. Something you'd find in a store like Magic Pony.
I seem to have caught a couple's break-up in progress. These two girls appeared to be consoling the poor lad. But with "GIRLS WHO LOVE GIRLS" scrawled on the sphere above him and a Picasso-like graffiti cat on the TV to his right, how can you be upset?
There were many more rooms to check out and fun to be had. Perhaps too much for one night.
If you haven't gone since the redesign, it's certainly worth a look. Friday night they've teamed up with Newmindspace for RANDOMLAND and tonight's Underground Smurf Love theme. VND/LSM is in the main room and ViVi Diamond's in the ballroom.
So if you don't already have plans, put on your best blue suit and perhaps you'll get lucky with Smurfette tonight. Or at least get to gawk at the contortionists in the display booths.

Underwriting in Property-Casualty Insurance Markets: Regulation, Risk and Volatility
Networks Financial Institute Working Paper No. 19

We offer a novel explanation of underwriting volatility in property-liability insurance markets in terms of private uncertainty over public regulatory policy. Underwriting involving random losses to policyholders is one source of risk to the equity value of insurance firms. Solvency regulations, however, pose a second source of risk to equity value when the implementation of such regulations randomly affects the return to underwriting but exhibits imperfect correlation with market conditions over time. Using a differential game in a standard no-arbitrage environment to model interaction between these two sources of risk, we derive the valuation equation for property-liability underwriting inclusive of the respective best-reply underwriting strategy of a representative insurance firm and the implementation strategy of a representative regulator. Owing to the conflicting effects of these strategies on firm equity, regulations adopted to reduce the solvency risk of insurers can, paradoxically, increase underwriting volatility in an otherwise efficient insurance market. Under certain parametric conditions, we also show that, even in the presence of complete financial markets, a subgame perfect Nash equilibrium of this game can exhibit a limit cycle in the value of underwriting which mirrors empirical evidence on the presence of cycles in property-liability insurance markets.

In this article you will see how constructing or creating an index may help retrieving the data at a much faster pace but it should be used very carefully and only at places where it is really required for.
Do we have any relational Database out there that is devoid of using Indexes? Well, there isn't any. Very much similar to the index of your book, indexes in a database grants a swift route to find the precise data you are looking for.
Think of the company like Wal-Mart that has a database of enormous amount of employees working with them and just to find one amongst them is a very tedious task to ask for. Would you be going to search for each and every record in your database so that you could locate that person? Here is where index role comes into play.
Any database has its records in the form of a table consisting of rows and columns. Any primary key on the table has an index. Hence when you classify any column as the primary key, it implicitly constructs an index. Refer to the below table to have a clear understanding on the indexes.
Assuming you want to request from a database to provide the details of the employee with the EmployeeID as 3003.
Here database will be making use of the index that it created for the primary key column "EmployeeID" and will fetch everything it has in records for Employee '3003'.
Since the query we requested for contained the primary column 'EmployeeID', it can look at the primary key index and accordingly fetch the location of Customer '3003'.
However, if the above query is found to be used on a more often basis, we can go ahead and add an index on the "Address" Column which in turn will allow the database to bring into play that index.
There can be a situation when there is no index defined on the column, in such cases the whole database is scanned and may take a bit of a time. But looking at the pace at which technology has moved nowadays, this shouldn't be creating any issue now. However to be on the safe side, it is always suggested to put indexes on the columns that re queried more often.
The prime reason why indexing is required in a database is to enhance the performance of the entire system in fetching the records that the user requested for.
WORD OF CAUTION: Using loads of indexes in a database may degrade the performance of the system as well. This is for the reason that assumes you are modifying the records of a table quite often which in turn demands for change in index as well. In some of the cases, the database even stops accepting the indexing values if it sees no reason to add the same.
The biggest disadvantage of using index is that it may take up extra space of a disk drive and slows down the outcome of the query requested by the user.


What Did You Expect With $3 Mortgage Inspections?
So you perform $3 mortgage inspections with "maybe" a profit of $1.50 and you expect that you will get paid. There are times when that does not happen … too many times. I talked to an unemployed couple in Atlanta who worked for another mortgage inspector for a month … they were broke … and they were not paid. It happens more than you think!

Ah ! les belles bacchantes est un film français réalisé par Jean Loubignac en 1954.

Robert Dhéry règle les tableaux de sa prochaine revue intitulée Ah ! les belles bacchantes. Intrigué par le titre, le commissaire Michel Lebœuf, va enquêter pour contrôler la décence du spectacle.
