Skylights are windows placed on a ceiling or other structure to let the natural light come through to the room below. Skylights come in a variety of sizes and shapes to fit both residential and commercial facilities, and they often add beauty and class to any room they are a part of. Companies that sell skylights make high-quality products that come in such a wide selection that anyone who wishes to have one is certain to find one that they like.
Best of all, most skylight prices are very reasonable. If you are considering installing any type of skylight in your home or office, there is no need to worry that it will be too expensive. Skylights are appropriate for homes of all sizes, as well as school gyms, corporate buildings, retail outlets, gift shops and even restaurants. If you want to save money, and use a more natural alternative to regular lighting, skylights are an excellent choice.
Although skylight costs are fairly low considering what you are getting in return, doing some comparative shopping is not a bad idea. All companies offering this product are different, and all will have different selections and different price ranges, so shopping around is a smart choice. Fortunately, it is very simple to do this nowadays because you can simply go to the Internet and view the selection that is available. Company websites also show you full-colour photographs of all their products, so you can see exactly what you are getting before you purchase anything.
One of the biggest advantages to purchasing skylights is that they look great regardless of the facility they are in. Whether it's for a home or business, small or large, contemporary or traditional, you can find the perfect skylight that will look great and will reduce the need for traditional lighting. Skylights come in such a wide selection that everyone can find what they want. Whether you are purchasing these lights for practical reasons only, or because you want to make the room look more attractive, you can find exactly what you want by simply going online.

88 G. Ceti
88 G. Ceti Facts
88 G. Ceti's star type is giant star that can be located in the constellation of Cetus. The description is based on the spectral class.
88 G. Ceti is not part of the constellation outline but is within the borders of the constellation.
Based on the spectral type (K1III) of the star, the star's colour is orange to red .
The star can be seen with the naked eye, that is, you don't need a telescope/binoculars to see it.
Using the most recent figures given by the 2007 Hipparcos data, the star is 558.50 light years away from us. Distance
88 G. Ceti's Alternative Names
HIP4104 is the reference name for the star in the Hipparcos Star Catalogue. The Id of the star in the Henry Draper catalogue is HD5098.
The Gould star designation is one that was designed by American astronomer, Benjamin Apthorp Gould. Gould stars are predominantly in the Southern and Equatorial constellations but do appear in northern constellations such as Bootes and Orion. The star has the designation 88 G. Ceti. There are no stars with a Gould designation in Ursa Major for example.
More details on objects' alternative names can be found at Star Names .
Location of 88 G. Ceti
The location of the giant star in the night sky is determined by the Right Ascension (R.A.) and Declination (Dec.), these are equivalent to the Longitude and Latitude on the Earth. The Right Ascension is how far expressed in time (hh:mm:ss) the star is along the celestial equator. If the R.A. is positive then its eastwards. The Declination is how far north or south the object is compared to the celestial equator and is expressed in degrees. For 88 G. Ceti, the location is 00h 52m 40.60 and -24° 00` 21.3 .
Radial Velocity and Proper Motion of 88 G. Ceti
Proper Motion
All stars like planets orbit round a central spot, in the case of planets, its the central star such as the Sun. In the case of a star, its the galactic centre. The constellations that we see today will be different than they were 50,000 years ago or 50,000 years from now. Proper Motion details the movements of these stars and are measured in milliarcseconds. The star is moving 33.24 ± 0.48 milliarcseconds/year towards the north and 37.52 ± 0.68 milliarcseconds/year east if we saw them in the horizon.
Radial Velocity
The Radial Velocity, that is the speed at which the star is moving away/towards the Sun is 37.60 km/s with an error of about 0.60 km/s . When the value is negative then the star and the Sun are getting closer to one another, likewise, a positive number means that two stars are moving away. Its nothing to fear as the stars are so far apart, they won't collide in our life-time, if ever.
88 G. Ceti Luminosity
Luminosity is the amount of energy that a star pumps out and its relative to the amount that our star, the Sun gives out. The figure of 301.96 that I have given is based on the value in the Simbad Hipparcos Extended Catalogue at the University of Strasbourg from 2012.
Physical Properties (Colour, Temperature) of 88 G. Ceti
88 G. Ceti Colour and Temperature
88 G. Ceti has a spectral type of K1III. This means the star is a orange to red giant star. The star has a B-V Colour Index of 1.2 which means the star's temperature has been calculated using information from Morgans @ Uni.edu at being 4,489 Kelvin.
88 G. Ceti Radius
Radius has been calculated as being 19.08 times bigger than the Sun. The Sun's radius is 695,800km, therefore the star's radius is an estimated 13,276,791.51.km. If you need the diameter of the star, you just need to multiple the radius by 2. However with the 2007 release of updated Hipparcos files, the radius is now calculated at being round 21.31. The figure is derived at by using the formula from SDSS and has been known to produce widely incorrect figures. The star's Iron Abundance is -0.38 with an error value of 0.04 Fe/H with the Sun has a value of 1 to put it into context.
88 G. Ceti Apparent and Absolute Magnitudes
88 G. Ceti has an apparent magnitude of 5.47 which is how bright we see the star from Earth. Apparent Magnitude is also known as Visual Magnitude. If you used the 1997 Parallax value, you would get an absolute magnitude of -0.46 If you used the 2007 Parallax value, you would get an absolute magnitude of -0.70. Magnitude, whether it be apparent/visual or absolute magnitude is measured by a number, the smaller the number, the brighter the Star is. Our own Sun is the brightest star and therefore has the lowest of all magnitudes, -26.74. A faint star will have a high number.
Distance to 88 G. Ceti
Using the original Hipparcos data that was released in 1997, the parallax to the star was given as 6.52 which gave the calculated distance to 88 G. Ceti as 500.25 light years away from Earth or 153.37 parsecs. It would take a spaceship travelling at the speed of light, 500.25 years to get there. We don't have the technology or spaceship that can carry people over that distance yet.
In 2007, Hipparcos data was revised with a new parallax of 5.84 which put 88 G. Ceti at a distance of 558.50 light years or 171.23 parsecs. It should not be taken as though the star is moving closer or further away from us. It is purely that the distance was recalculated.
Using the 2007 distance, the star is roughly 35,318,476.67 Astronomical Units from the Earth/Sun give or take a few. An Astronomical Unit is the distance between Earth and the Sun. The number of A.U. is the number of times that the star is from the Earth compared to the Sun.
The star's Galacto-Centric Distance is 7,407.00 Parsecs or 24,158.92 Light Years. The Galacto-Centric Distance is the distance from the star to the Centre of the Galaxy which is Sagittarius A*.
The source of the information if it has a Hip I.D. is from Simbad, the Hipparcos data library based at the University at Strasbourg, France. Hipparcos was a E.S.A. satellite operation launched in 1989 for four years. The items in red are values that I've calculated so they could well be wrong. Information regarding Metallicity and/or Mass is from the E.U. Exoplanets. The information was obtained as of 12th Feb 2017.

Homedose smoking Invalidate ablution
dose smoking Invalidate ablution
jj January 21, 2020
2 The rule of smoking
3 Does smoking nullify ablution?
4 When should ablution be performed?
5 nullification ablution
Smoking is a process of inhalation and ingestion of smoke resulting from burning the tobacco plant , or what is known as tanbak, and is called among people with cigarettes or shisha, and tobacco is a herbal plant that has a stem on its sides that grow broad leaves of a green color, and these leaves are collected and collected together and dried. [1] It is well known that smoking is one of the bad things that the soul disgusts, and recovering from it is common sense. If a Muslim wants to measure the slag that is in smoke with other slaves, he may reach suspicion or delusion that smoking is related to ablution and its invalidity, and that someone who smokes must If he performs ablution before praying, does smoking nullify ablution, and does it affect the purity of the Muslim?
The rule of smoking
Many trustworthy scholars went today to say that it is forbidden to smoke , as it was not present in the era of jurists and subordinates, not to mention its absence during the time of revelation and message, and those who say that smoking is inferred on a set of evidence from the book and the Sunnah, because of the harm it causes And the diseases and epidemics that cause it, smoking has been proven medically and scientifically, and the evidence of the owners of this statement is the following: [2]
The Almighty said: (They ask you what is lawful for them ۖ Say good things are referred to you) ; [3] The verse indicated that it is permissible only what was good, and as a result, all evil is forbidden, and no one disagrees with that of etc.
The Almighty said (O ye who believe ! Eat of the good things and give thanks to God We have provided that you worship him) ; [4] came in the concept of the offense contained in the verse is forbidden to eat or drink or use all that was malignant.
It is true of the Prophet - peace and blessings be upon him - that he said: (There is neither harm nor harm) , [5]
Certainly, the testimony of the specialists from the doctors and scientists proved that smoking causes nine out of every ten patients who develop lung cancer in the world, and that smoking is a major cause of heart disease, stroke, emphysema, and bronchitis, and causes impotence or This is known as impotence and erectile dysfunction in men. Physicians have described nicotine as similar to drugs in terms of characteristics, and saw the necessity of treating the nicotine present in tobacco as a type of dangerous drugs, such as heroin and cocaine.
Further evidence talk narrated from Umm Salamah , may Allah be pleased where he said: (forbade the Messenger of Allah peace be upon him all intoxicants and) ; [6] According to the opinion of the trustworthy scholars who said that smoking containing material intoxicating shall be the rule of smoking privacy compared to the sanctity of alcohol all of them.
It was not stated in any of the doctrines of the Sunnis and the community, or by any trusted Muslim scholar that drinking smoke or smoking with all kinds of hookahs, cigarettes or other things is that this is a contradiction to ablution , or that the practice of these actions leads to the abolition of ablution, and that an actor That is to perform ablution if he wants to pray regardless of his sensual purity or not, whether he said that it is forbidden to smoke or who said otherwise, and the Egyptian Fatwa House stated that smoke should not be abolished for ablution unless the smoker was originally updated, and what was stated in the fatwa is that: (smoking Ablution does not invalidate, but it is desirable for a Muslim to cleanse his mouth of Ra Smoking list when praying so as not to harm his worshipers), the smoker should remove the bad smell that he suspended from his mouth if he wanted to go to the mosqueThis is in order to avoid the harm of that smell and harms it for the worshipers, compared to what came from the prohibition of touching his mouth with garlic or onions to go to the mosque; If a person touches his mouth the smell of forbidden smoke, he should avoid praying in the mosque until he removes the odor that will inevitably harm the worshipers, and likewise if the ruling relates to a public place in which Muslims meet, the first is not to harm people. [7]
When should ablution be performed?
The jurists mentioned some cases in which ablution is necessary, with caution that there was absolutely no mention of those cases regarding smokers or smoking, and the statement of these cases is as follows:
Prayer : it was generally agreed scholars that it wanted the prayer, he must ablution; to raise the output event for everything that comes out of the front and back passages of urine or feces , or sound , or the wind, and equal , so that the prayer of the statutes or Alnoavl , [8] which is why Roy The Prophet - peace and blessings be upon him - said: (No prayer is accepted without purification) , [9] the obligated jurists required the prayer to perform ablution, and it was not mentioned in the case of obligatory or obligatory ablution on the smoker, or that smoking is an event that prevents prayer.
The circumambulation : The majority of Maliki jurists, [10] and the scholars of the Shafi'i school and their followers, [11] and Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal and his disciples, [12] see that whoever wants to circumambulate the Kaaba must perform ablution, and that this is an obligation imposed on everyone who wants the circumambulation, whether it is That circumambulation is an obligatory or superfluous circumambulation, and they inferred what they went to by the Prophet - peace and blessings be upon him -: (The circumambulation around the house is like praying, except that you speak in it, and whoever speaks in it does not speak except well) . [13] . While the Hanafi jurists see [14] That performing ablution in tawaaf is an obligation and not an obligation, and it is known that the duty at the Hanafi comes down to a status lower than the obligation. He is not permitted to do tawaf until ablution.
Touching the Mus-haf : The majority of jurists [15] held that ablution is an obligation for those who wanted to read from the Mus-haf , because he says: "Only the purified ones touch it" . [16]
Abolishing ablution
The jurists of the four schools of thought mentioned several things that invalidate ablution, including what they agreed upon, and some of which they disagreed on as follows: [8]
They agreed that everything that comes out of the two paths (kiss and dirt) invalidates ablution except semen, as it is necessary to do ghusl.
They agreed that the absence of a mind that performs ablution with madness or fainting, or wine, or anesthesia, or any of the absurdities is one of the things that invalidate ablution, and from that sleep, unless he sleeps, enabling his seat from the ground (he sleeps sitting with his back rested) and that is detailed in the books of jurisprudence.
The skin meets the woman and the foreign man, and this is a detail and difference between the four schools of thought.
Touch Faraj Al Adami, where the three schools of Shafi'i, Maliki, and Hanbali agreed that they are invalidated by ablution, and he disagreed with that.
The exit of impurities, such as blood and vomiting, from the rest of the body, where the Shafi'is and Malikis said that they are not incompatible with ablution, and the Hanafis and Hanbalis said that it is one of the things that invalidate ablution, according to a difference between them in the details.
Apostasy from Islam, where the Hanafi and Shafi'i said that it does not invalidate, while the Hanbali and the Maliki say that it invalidates ablution.
He ate the rule of the camels and camels, and there is a difference between the jurists, as the majority of jurists said from the Shafi'is, the Maliki and the Hanafis, and a saying by the Hanbalis that it does not invalidate ablution, while the Hanbalis view in their most correct view that it invalidates ablution.

Marie-Jeanne-Amélie Le Francais de Lalande, born Marie-Jeanne Harlay (1768 – 8 November 1832), was a French astronomer and mathematician.

Biography
Lalande married her father's young cousin, also an astronomer, Michel Lefrançois de Lalande (1776-1839) in 1788. She was also the niece of the astronomer and writer Jérôme Lalande, who was said to have valued Lalande for her mathematical disposition.

Her father taught the young couple calculation and observation methods in astronomy.

She worked closely alongside her father and contributed to many of his publications.

Her reputation as a scientific woman was attested by an anecdote related to Carl Friedrich Gauss: In 1806, during a military campaign in Prussia, he declared he knew but one French woman that worked in Science, Madame Le François de Lalande"

She died in 1832 at the age of 64.  Her daughter, Caroline was named after Caroline Herschel, her birth date, 20 January 1790 being the first day a Comet discovered by Herschel was visible from Paris.  Her son was named after Isaac Newton.

Work
She calculated the Tables horaires de marine, which was published in her father's Abrégé de navigation historique théorique et pratique avec tables horaires (1793). These calculations earned her father one of the medals of the Lycée des Arts for distinguished scholars and artists.

Her work was also published in her father's annual almanac from 1794 to 1806.

In 1799, she established a catalog of 10,000 stars.

In 1791, her expertise in astronomy earned her the privilege of guiding the son of famous astronomer Jean Dominique Cassini, through his first observation at the College de France.

She also collaborated on the writing of L'Histoire céleste française written by Lalande and published in 1801. The work indicated the position of 50,000 stars.

Legacy
The multi-ring impact crater, de Lalande (crater), on Venus was named after her.

Follow the news on Maryam Rajavi's many activities as she promotes freedom and democracy in Iran. Her meetings, speeches, press interviews, and participation in Iranian and international forums are highlighted here. In her role as the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, Mrs. Rajavi has been the leading voice for democratic change in her homeland, Iran.
Her activities provide in-depth insight into the views, positions, and vision of the Iranian Resistance for future Iran. Mrs. Rajavi has met with hundreds of academic, political, and cultural personalities from around the world in a tireless struggle to expose the Iranian regime's flagrant violations of human rights and to discuss the Iranian people's desire for change and establishment of democracy.She believes that the Iranian people's uprising and their vanguard in the Iranian Resistance movement will remove the mullahs' regime, a theocratic dictatorship that has institutionalized absolute religious rule of the clerics in Iran, and thus, sovereignty will return to the Iranian people.
Mr. David Jones, a senior British parliamentarian, Welsh Secretary in David Cameron's government, and Minister of State for negotiations with the European Union in Theresa May's cabinet, met with Maryam Rajavi in the Iranian Resistance's settlement of Ashraf III on Saturday, 6 April at the end of his trip to Albania and his two day meetings with PMOI members.
Our nation has been overwhelmed and devastated by floods but their spirits to rise up and rebel against the mullahs are high and they remain resolved and determined.
Maryam Rajavi, attends an interview with Reuters in Auvers-sur-Oise, France, February 7, 2019.
Saturday, December 15, 2018, Maryam Rajavi spoke to a global video conference where Iranian communities in more than 40 capitals of Europe, North America and Australia participated simultaneously.
Maryam Rajavi met and held talks on Saturday, December 15, 2018, with Mr. Pandeli Majko, senior Minister of State and former Prime Minister of Albania, Mr. Patrick Kennedy and Ms. Ingrid Betancourt.


How to Make Great, Easy Zucchini Bread!

And if you bring home some fruit or vegetables and want to can, freeze, make jam, salsa or pickles, see this page for simple, reliable, illustrated canning, freezing or preserving directions. There are plenty of other related resources, click on the resources dropdown above.
If you want to make bread and butter zucchini pickles, see this page instead.
And if you want to make zucchini pasta, here's a machine for that.
1 lb prepared fresh zucchini, washed and dried, with the ends removed. see step 2 for details.
6 tablespoons (about 3/4 of a stick) butter or margarine.
Check that your oven is empty (except for the racks, of course) and turn it on to 375 F.
Lube up a 9 inch by 5 inch loaf pan (just like you would for meatloaf) with a butter, margarine or shortening, or spray with a vegetable spray, like PAM. Dust the interior with flour and tap out the excess.
Drain off any liquids from the zucchini (up to 30 minutes... I usually let it sit for 5 minutes), then mix in the 2 tablespoons of sugar (yes, you could use honey instead). Then squeeze the zucchini in paper towels to blot up any remaining free liquids.
Mix the zucchini mix from step 5 with the mix from step 6! Pour (or plop) into the loaf pan!
Step 8 - Bake for about 50 to 60 minutes.
Pop it into the oven (uncovered) and bake at 375 F until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. It's a good idea to rotate the pan 180 degrees after 30 minutes, to ensure even cooking. Cool for 10 50 15 minutes on a rack... and eat!
The loaves will keep several days in the fridge!
You can also wrap the cooled loafs in plastic wrap, the either aluminum foil or a plastic bag and freeze!

The Seychelles welcomes Sky News Arabia to its shores
November 5, 2019 by PressEditor
Sky News Arabia in partnership with the Seychelles Tourism Board (STB), embarked on a 5-day journey to the Seychelles showcasing the Islands' lush biodiversity and vibrant creole culture on the TV channel's morning show, Hakibat Safar.
The Hakibat Safar show, a weekly segment where the hosts explore cultures and attractions of different destinations, giving their UAE audience an insight into these countries, enticing them to visit these locations themselves.
During their stay in Seychelles, the Sky News team explored the capital of Victoria, enjoying the destination's rich historical and cultural memoirs from the iconic Clock Tower and Natural Museum to the small souvenir shops scattered all over the town.
Taking advantage of the tropical weather, the team participated in several activities including zip lining and water sports such as diving and snorkeling in the crystal blue waters, observing the vibrant marine life.
Since a trip to the Seychelles would be incomplete without visiting, its pristine beaches it is so well known for, the Sky News Arabia team made no exception to the rule. One of those beaches visited by the team is the Anse Lazio beach situated on the second largest islands of the Seychelles, Praslin. The island is also home to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Vallée De Mai, where the team explored the site's verdant biodiversity, including the Coco de Mer, the world's largest nut indigenous to the Seychelles.
To complete their memorable experience of the Creole culture and the destination, the Sky News Arabia team had the opportunity to indulge in a range of culinary delights within the stretch of their 5-day stay at the destination.
Mr. Ahmed Fathallah, Account Manager for STB Office in Dubai expressed his satisfaction to have had the prestigious television team in Seychelles.
"To experience is one of the most effective methods to entice the clients as they can passionately share their experience and advise which product and services will be suitable for each segment. We will continue to partner with esteemed entities in the region as this serves as a valuable tool," says Mr. Fathallah.
The Sky News team was hosted by the H Resort Beau Vallon Beach during their stay.
After their trip, the Sky News Team was able to present their experience to their audience, showing them why the Seychelles is one of the most alluring island destinations in the world.

Minister Bartlett lauds actress Kerry Washington as a trailblazer in the diaspora at Jamaica Independence Gala
Jamaica's Minister of Tourism Hon. Edmund Bartlett has extended an invitation to actress Kerry Washington and her family to come to Jamaica for a family getaway during her next shoot break. The Minister, who was special guest at the Jamaica Independence gala, had high praises for the Emmy and Golden Globe nominated American born actress, who is of Jamaican descent.
She was honored with an 'Artistic Achievement Award' at Jamaica's 57th Independence Black Tie Gala, held at the Hilton Westchester Hotel in Rye, New York on Saturday, August 10. While Ms. Washington was unable to attend in person to accept the award, Minister Bartlett conveyed the special invitation to Kerry by way of her parents and lauded her for the contribution she has made as part of the Jamaican Diaspora, which has helped to propel and promote Jamaica not just in the United States but globally.
Jamaica's Minister of Tourism Hon. Edmund Bartlett greets Olympian Byron LaBeach (C) ahead of his award. Sharing the moment is Everald Rhoden.
Mr. Bartlett told the gathering that Ms. Washington through her trailblazing artistic endeavors has made a significant contribution not only to tourism in Jamaica but by extension brand Jamaica.
In a letter read by her parents, Ms. Washington noted her appreciation for the award and was humbled to have been considered for the recognition. She thanked the organizers, expressing regret that she was unable to attend in person to accept the award, reiterating that "I AM JAMAICAN" to enthusiastic applause.
Kerry's career took flight in 2004 when she appeared as Della Bea Robinson, the wife of musician Ray Charles, in the biopic Ray. She won "Outstanding Actress in a Motion Picture" for Ray at the NAACP Image Awards in 2005. Washington is best known for her portrayal of Olivia Pope in the ABC TV drama Scandal – that has earned her several Emmy, Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and Golden Globe nominations. She is also known for portraying lawyer/academic Anita Hill in the 2016 HBO film Confirmation, which she executive produced under the banner of her production company Simpson Street. Last year, Washington starred on Broadway in 'American Son,' which is now a motion picture to premiere on Netflix in fall of 2019.

Puerto Rico Tourism: Out with the old, in with the new
"Since our inception last July, we hit the ground running to accelerate the tourism economy," said Brad Dean, CEO of Discover Puerto Rico. "This brand campaign follows a strong publicity effort that set up Puerto Rico as the top place to visit in 2019 and a recently revamped website, DiscoverPuertoRico.com.
"The creative highlights our two strongest assets – our culture and our people – and will help us strengthen traveler's familiarity with what makes our Island one-of-a-kind." The campaign officially launches today across digital channels via digital banners, social, pre-roll and a follow-up TV spot that will launch in coming weeks in key markets. Additional marketing support is expected throughout the rest of 2019, to attract visitors to the Island during the summer travel season."
Discover Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico's newly-established Destination Marketing Organization (DMO), announced today the rollout of Puerto Rico's brand campaign called "Have We Met Yet?" which draws inspiration from Puerto Rico's cultural and natural offerings and at its essence, focuses on the hospitable and welcoming nature of its people. By posing the question "Have We Met Yet?" the creative re-introduces the Island to the world and brings to life the exotic yet familiar essence of Puerto Rico. As the U.S. mainland's "neighbor to the south," the new campaign showcases through Puerto Rico's iconic doors how the Island welcomes visitors with open arms.
Following extensive research that showed that Puerto Rico's brand identity was neutral in the minds of travelers, this new campaign is this next phase of Discover Puerto Rico's brand repositioning process, enabling the Island to fully capitalize on its rich tourism product offerings and emerge as a leading Caribbean destination. The creative repositions the island as that neighbor that one dreams of – with the festive flair, the ocean view, the incredible art collection, the delicious food. Puerto Rico is the neighbor you'll laugh with, celebrate with, and maybe even fall in love with.
"Puerto Rico's people, its rich culture and unparalleled natural offerings, combined with the fact that it's a U.S. territory and easily accessible, were key factors that led to this creative. We're excited to debut this brand campaign as it opens the door, literally, to endless possibilities that showcase the spirit of the Puerto Rican people and everything the Island has to offer," said Leah Chandler, CMO of Discover Puerto Rico.
Travelers exposed to the new brand campaign will be immediately drawn by the colorful vibrant doors and stunning imagery found throughout the Island. The creative highlights many aspects that make Puerto Rico a unique destination—ranging from its people, its cuisine, its festive spirit, its natural attractions, and much more.
"The campaign invites travelers to visit Puerto Rico and meet us, the neighbor that you can't live without," said Chandler. "Puerto Rico was named the #1 Place to Visit in 2019 by the New York Times and has topped over 20 other notable lists of places to visit this year," she added. "We want to send a message to all travelers that this is THE year to visit Puerto Rico. The entire island is eager to welcome them."
The creative was ideated and produced by Beautiful Destinations, with support from local production crews who traveled throughout the Island to capture the beautiful scenery, thousands of colorful doors, and welcoming faces of the Puerto Rican people.
To view the "Have We Met Yet?" creative online, visit YouTube.com/DiscoverPuertoRico and be on the lookout for additional campaign creative coming soon.

This year will mark the Fifth Anniversary of this exciting film lovers' event. During the ten-day event, Valletta will be transformed into a live cinema with screenings and events taking place in historic buildings and outdoor venues including Pjazza Teatru Rjal and Pjazza San Ġorġ. Over the years, the streets of Valletta hosted various international productions like World War Z, Assassin's Creed, The Count of Monte Cristo, Game of Thrones and Murder on the Orient Express.

The VFF attracts more than 10,000 visitors and is the largest cinematic event in Malta. "What makes Malta a unique setting for a film festival is that the Maltese Islands themselves are world famous for film production," said Oliver Mallia, Co-Founder and Co-Director with Slavko Vukanovic, both film producers in their own right. "Movie buffs can visit locations used for the sets of such headliners as the Game of Thrones, and blockbuster films including Gladiator and Troy."
Malta offers Valletta Film Festival goers a transformative experience, witnessing where major blockbusters have been filmed while at the same time watching a number of Europe's newest films. The festival will screen over forty feature films, twenty-four short films, and organizes many different master classes and workshops.

VFF 2019 will introduce the first Cinema of Small Nations Competition open to feature-length and short films from small countries in Europe and the Middle East. This competition will put a spotlight on the reality of cinema in small nations, and will highlight the abundance of talent and creativity that is often seen in films produced by filmmakers in these countries.
Michelle Buttigieg, Malta Tourism Authority representative in North America, noted "Film Tourism is trending and very popular with American and Canadian tourists who love to travel for film festivals as well as visit the locations of their favorite movies or TV Series. Malta's movie sets include the iconic Popeye's Village which is still one the Islands' most popular tourist attractions, to the hottest HBO show, Game of Thrones, which started in Malta."

The sunny islands of Malta, in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, are home to a most remarkable concentration of intact built heritage, including the highest density of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in any nation-state anywhere. Valletta built by the proud Knights of St. John is one of the UNESCO sites and was the European Capital of Culture for 2018. Malta's patrimony in stone ranges from the oldest free-standing stone architecture in the world, to one of the British Empire's most formidable defensive systems, and includes a rich mix of domestic, religious and military architecture from the ancient, medieval and early modern periods. With superbly sunny weather, attractive beaches, a thriving nightlife and 7,000 years of intriguing history, there is a great deal to see and do.

Hawaii Tourism Authority appoints new Director of Communications and Public Relations
The Hawaii Tourism Authority (HTA) announced today that Marisa Yamane, a longtime award-winning journalist, has been appointed as director of communications and public relations. She begins work at HTA on May 6.
"We are very excited to welcome Marisa to our HTA ohana, as she brings to us more than 15 years of journalism experience in the islands, as well as an innate passion for sharing the stories of Hawaii," said Chris Tatum, HTA president and CEO. "Among her responsibilities, Marisa will be essential to supporting the wonderful work being done in our neighborhoods by community groups dedicated to perpetuating Hawaiian culture, protecting the environment and showcasing festivals and events."
Yamane's primary responsibility will be utilizing her communication and public outreach experience to help HTA fulfill its mission of supporting the sustainability of Hawaii's leading industry and reinforcing the benefits it brings to residents and communities across the state.
"I am honored to have this incredible opportunity to help the community in a different way, by being part of the team that manages our state's tourism industry," Yamane said. "I'm looking forward to working with such an experienced and dedicated leadership team."
Yamane currently serves as one of the main evening news anchors on KHON and its sister station KHII. She co-anchors the 5:00 p.m., 7:00 p.m., and 10:00 p.m. weeknight newscasts and also covers breaking news stories as a reporter.
Over the course of her career at KHON, Yamane has reported on news stories covering a wide range of topics including numerous severe weather events. Last year, Yamane reported extensively from the island of Hawaii during the Kilauea volcano eruption.
Yamane's reporting on crime and law enforcement in Hawaii led to her helping to launch the weekly Hawaii's Most Wanted segment on KHON in partnership with CrimeStoppers.
Yamane has received numerous accolades for her journalism work, including an Emmy Award, multiple Edward R. Murrow awards and Associated Press Mark Twain awards.
Born and raised in Hawaii, Yamane graduated from Iolani School. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in communication studies from the University of California, Los Angeles.

Arab Hotel Investment Conference is back: Why it's so amazing
Last year, the move of the 14th Arab Hotel Investment Conference (AHIC) from Dubai Jumeirah Madinat to the neighboring Emirate Ras Al Khaimah (RAK) was a huge challenge.
Ras Al Khaimah is where? It is one-hour drive from Dubai Airport.
Arriving at midnight at Dubai Airport, and driving on a sheer endless straight highway through the desert, it certainly was an entirely new experience: no skyscrapers, no traffic jams, nothing but a totally empty highwa which is normally clogged up during the day, with only some camels walking along enroute during the night.
After the one-hour drive, all of a sudden there was a wake-up call as lights of a monumental building like a Fata Mogana (mirage) emerged from the horizon. Getting closer, it was not a Fat Mogana but the newly-opened Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

As the function rooms at the Waldorf Astoria hotel were not big enough to host the AHIC event with nearly 2,000 delegates, a gigantic fully-airconditioned tent was built just for this event and only for the 3 days of the conference.
We are talking about a cost of nearly 2 million dollars set in the sand for a humongous fully-equipped tent with the latest technologies – Wi Fi, a TV broadcasting studio, and a revolving stage. Just amazing!
BBC Hard Talk presenter Stephan Sackur, who had just arrived from ice-cold Moscow, was interviewing Russia's Foreign Secretary, Sergej Lavrov, and then found himself on the beach on a revolving stage the next day with a colorful audience and an outside temperature of 45 Celsius (113 degrees Fahrenheit).
A red carpet was rolled out for the rulers and dignitaries of Ras Al Khaimah and the entire region with people rushing towards the AHIC village on the beach.
Ras Al Khaimah is the most authentic and UAE's second-smallest emirate and is quietly boosting its tourism, free zones, and real estate.
Despite being the second smallest emirate in the UAE with a population of just 400,000, strong real estate and hospitality sectors, as well as corporate giants such as RAK Ceramics and Gulf Pharmaceutical Industries (Julphar) have helped RAK avoid the oil-related economic crisis of its neighbors.
During AHIC 2019's opening, the Ras Al Khaimah ruler launched a contest to create a "unique" resort.
The ruler, Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi of Ras Al Khaimah, launched the Grand RAK Project competition which is open to delegates registered at the event.
Sheikh Saud said: "We support projects and concepts that spark creativity and place Ras Al Khaimah at the forefront of the tourism sector which aims to create a new resort that is unique to the emirate.
"Sustained growth is already the hallmark of Ras Al Khaimah's tourism industry, and we seek to ensure this continues by utilizing our strategic tourism plan to reach well-defined targets."
Working in teams combining hotel designers and operators, entrants will have 3 months to prepare a preliminary concept vision supported by a high-level feasibility appraisal.
The winning project will be allocated a coveted beachfront location.
The judging panel for the Grand RAK Project includes Abdullah Al Abdooli, Managing Director and CEO, Marjan; David Daniels, Director of Architecture, SSH; Filippo Sona, Managing Director, Global Hospitality, Drees & Sommer; and Kevin Underwood, Principal, HKS Hospitality Group.
While the UAE remains RAK's strongest market, representing about 40 percent of total visitors, Europe is gaining ground. The number of German tourists to RAK grew by 53 percent last year, followed by 28.5 percent growth from the UK, 25 percent from India, and 4 percent from Russia.
The Government of Ras Al Khaimah has an established history in the tourism sector commencing with the opening of the first internationally-branded hotel back in 2001 and is galloping forward on a large scale.
With the launch of the first Arabian Hotel Investment Conference last year, the spotlight shone on Ras Al Khaimah. The program, featuring more than 100 speakers from around the world, has been curated around this year's theme with a focus on addressing the current tensions in the owner-operator relationship, uncovering innovative approaches to business, analyzing future market demand trends, and fostering harmonious relationships between all stakeholders in order to sustain growth and prosperity
In his speech, Jonathan Worsley, Chairman of AHIC, said:
"It is evident to me that we are going through transformational change within the Middle East's hotel investment market. As more supply comes online and the market becomes increasingly competitive, the dynamic of the owner-operator relationship has shifted. As the landscape becomes more competitive it is key that all parties are working together towards the same goals. With this backdrop in mind, together with our advisory board and partners at Insignia, we concluded that evolution in 2019 is not about creating disruptive moves but about finding constructive steps that create an environment of clarity and collaboration. Hence, we came to our 2019 theme, Synchronized for Success.
"Synchronicity not just in relationships but in the alignment of business strategy with what is happening in the broader macro-economic environment as some of the most ambitious projects of our generation are announced and social transformations, technical innovations, and shifting consumer behavior are changing the hotel investment landscape at a staggering pace."
How can business be synced with these new dynamics?
The visionary industry leader, Stardom Speaker Sebastien Bazin, Chairman & CEO of ACCOR, will address the AHIC community on "What is your compass during times of disruption, innovation, and global turmoil?"
Conference Chair Stephen Sackur will take a break from his day job as host of HARDtalk and head back to the beach as he has been assigned one job at AHIC 2019 – to ask the questions the industry wants addressed the most so that attendees walk away with the insights they need.
Synchronized for success? Three owners and three operators will sit down with Stephen Sackur to discuss how they are "Syncing for Success." Never in the history of the hotel industry has there been such a rapid build-up of hotel rooms. How does the industry cope and what business models are evolving that will help retain and attract more owners and investors? Stephen Sackur will present these tough questions to the operators.
Who else is there? Among the speakers are:
The Managing Director & CEO of Marjan responsible for creating and designing Ras Al Khaimah's key freehold master plans including the spectacular Al Marjan Island, a world-class tourism development offering excellent opportunities for investors.
Abdullah Al Abdouli, Head of Investment & Finance, The Red Sea Development Company which is creating an exquisite ultra-luxury destination within a pristine 28,000 km² area that includes an archipelago of more than 50 unspoiled islands, volcanoes, desert, mountains, nature, and culture.
Jay Rosen, Chief Executive Officer, Public Investment Fund, Amaala, and ultra-luxury development that is part of an integrated approach to developing Saudi Arabia's Red Sea coast focusing on wellness, healthy living, and meditation. The development will cover an area of more than 3,800 sq. km. and will target more than 2,500 hotel keys.
The Chief Executive Officer of RAK Properties has drawn regional and global interest for launching state-of-the-art luxury hotels, resorts, and malls. With more than $540 million worth of available capital, the company is behind the Anantara Mina Al Arab, Ras Al Khaimah, and the 350-key InterContinental Ras Al Khaimah Mina Al Arab Resort.
The AHIC 2019 is taking place from April 9-11 at the AHIC Village, Ras Al Khaimah.

A Japanese castle, Sanjuro the cat, and a remarkable recovery in tourism
Bitchū Matsuyama Castle, also known as Takahashi Castle, is a castle located in Takahashi, Okayama Prefecture, Japan. It is not to be confused with Matsuyama Castle in Matsuyama, Ehime Prefecture.
The Takahashi City Tourist Association is upbeat, with an official of the association saying: "We want to liven up the whole city with Sanjuro."
A feline "lord" of Bitchu Matsuyama Castle in Takahashi, Okayama Prefecture, is contributing to a recovery in tourism that was dealt a heavy hit from natural disasters last summer.
The name of the cat lord of the popular castle, which is nicknamed "castle in the sky", is Sanjuro. He settled in the precincts of the castle in the wake of torrential rains in western Japan in July last year.
Because Sanjuro is super-friendly to people, he has attracted attention on social media.
The number of tourists coming to the castle, that fell at one point after the torrential rains, recovered rapidly, thanks to Sanjuro. He is now serving as a living "beckoning cat", the auspicious cat statue often displayed in stores and other businesses.
Sanjuro is a male with white and brown fur. He is thought to be three or four years old.
On July 21 last year, castle cleaner Ryoichi Motohara found the cat wandering in the castle's Sannomaru area. "At the time, I thought he was an abandoned cat, because he was very skinny."
After observing the cat for several days, the cleaner started feeding him. From then, he began appearing in the castle's Honmaru main area, mingling with tourists.
The cat never got angry when people would touch him. He responded to people with cute manners while purring. He became widely known through word of mouth and via online sites.
The tourist association gave the cat the name Sanjuro in tribute to Tani Sanjuro, a samurai warrior of the Bitchu Matsuyama clan who served as a troop captain of Shinsengumi, a samurai squad in the last years of the Edo period (1603-1867).
As the number of newspaper articles and TV programmes reporting about Sanjuro grew, his owner was identified around October last year.
Ms Megumi Nanba, 40, who lives in the city about 6km from the castle, said that she had been searching for her cat, who ran away from their home on July 14.
As she loved her cat and he was also was attached to her children, Ms Nanba at first wanted to take him back home. Eventually, though, Ms Nanba and her family members discussed the matter and decided to hand over their cat to the tourist association.
"I was really relieved when I found out he was alive. If he likes living in the castle, it is good for him (to stay there)," she said.
In November last year, an official of the tourist association took him home to prepare for a media presentation, and Sanjuro ran away again.
Although the association tried to find him by distributing leaflets and other means, Sanjuro could not been found, which made officials of the association increasingly worried.
Sanjuro was finally found 19 days later. Since then, the officials have kept him inside the castle's administrative office building in the Honmaru area so as not to have such a painful feeling again.
In December last year, the association officially appointed Sanjuro to the post of "castle lord cat". His duty as the castle lord is to stroll around in the castle twice a day, with officials holding him on a leash.
Sanjuro is highly popular for his friendliness towards visitors, such as rubbing against people's legs and neatly sitting down on their knees.
According to the tourist association, the number of visitors in July last year in the wake of the torrential rains fell to about 20 per cent compared with that in the previous year. But in February this year, the number passed 4,000 – 40 per cent higher than that in the previous year.
The association designated March 16 as the "Day of Sanjuro" as a play on words – 3 (san), 10 (ju) and 6 (roku) – and held an event.
Tourists from across the nation swarmed to take photos of Sanjuro that day.
Ms Miho Hatanaka, 44, from Otake, Hiroshima Prefecture, said: "He is so friendly and tame. I wish I could hug him a long time."
Her daughter Nanami, a nine-year-old elementary school student, said: "He's so cute. I hope he keeps playing the role of castle lord."
The association produces official items with his photo such as key chains and postcards, as well as digital stamps which can be used on LINE, a free communication app.
Manager of the tourist association Hideo Aihara said: "With Sanjuro at the core, new movements including developments of items and event plans have been occurring.
"We want to expand this positive trend while cooperating with various entities."

Singapore Grand Hyatt Hotel ablaze: 500 evacuated
March 28, 2019 by Forimmediaterelease
A fire broke out at the luxury Grand Hyatt Hotel in downtown Singapore today forcing the evacuation of around 500 hotel guests.
In TV footage, thick black smoke could be seen billowing from the hotel that is located close to the Orchard Road shopping district. The fire started from a kitchen stove and exhaust duct in a restaurant on the second floor of the hotel. Water sprinklers put out the fire before firefighters arrived.
According to the Singapore Civil Defense Force, the fire was put out quickly, and emergency responders said nobody was injured.
Guests were still checking in to the Singapore hotel around 2 hours as the smell of the fire lingered in the lobby. The fire likely caused an electrical short on the second floor, as it was in darkness.
"The smoke was really terrible … it got into my throat. I think it was quite thick," said Nadiah Yayoh, 40, who works at a boutique in the hotel. "Usually we have fire drills and normal evacuations, as well as fire practice … This is a lesson learned not to take it lightly."
