SEBASTIAN MULLAERT RELEASES SINGLE 'VIEWS OF NATTHALL'
AHEAD OF HIS ANTICIPATED ALBUM LAUNCH, SEBASTIAN MULLAERT RELEASEd A NEW SINGLE 'VIEWS OF NATTHALL' . THE ALBUM NATTHALL WILL BE RELEASED ON SEPTEMBER 18th VIA NEUE MEISTER.
Electronic music producer and classically trained violinist, Sebastian Mullaert broke through the house and techno scene in the mid-nineties winning international acclaim with his work as a producer and live performer. His career highlights include a Swedish Grammy – P3 Guild Awards (for his work under the Minilogue duo) in 2007 and a nomination for the same award in 2017 as a solo artist. His reputation as one of the most forward-thinking electronic artists of the 21st century was cemented when, in 2018, he launched Circle of Live, a groundbreaking improvised live concept that brings together some of the most extraordinary, electronic live artists in free-flowing collaborative jam sessions. The musician's latest album, Natthall, done in collaboration with musicians of Tonhalle Orchester Zürich and released via Neue Meister on the 18th of September 2020, seamlessly weaves the threads of electronic and classical music.
Views of Natthall
'Views of Natthall' kicks off as a beautiful soundscape of ambient chords that merge in a reverberating sea before cascading into solo strings. Patterns, and the idea of subtle repetition, deeply inform Nathall, and in 'Views of Nathall' it's a soft knocking percussion that persists from start to finish. Over it, the gentle push and pull of strings feels like a mysterious seduction. Far from sombre though, the inhalation and exhalation of the sound is meditative. Gradually, the track progresses towards brighter spaces, electronic twinkles and retro synth-sounds guide the listener towards a state of contemplation before the arrival of silence. The result is both introspective and sublime, and a testament to how classical and electronic music can complement each other.
Scenarios Collective join forces on "Side By Side"
Only recently we had a chat with Sebastian and talked about his upcoming work 'Natthall'. Have a look.

Premier League giants set to do battle for Raphinha
By John Menzies - 1 January 2023, 10:26
With the winter transfer window now open, clubs are free to sign players ahead of the second half of the season.
This also means that clubs may sell, something that Barcelona may be forced to do in order to improve the financial situation at the club.
The Blaugrana will aim to sell on players who have a high value, but are not first team regulars under head coach Xavi Hernandez. One of those who falls into this category is Raphinha. The Brazilian had a good start to life at the club following his arrival from Leeds United last summer, but he has lost his regular starting place has fallen due to inadequate performances, despite starting yesterday's disappointing 1-1 draw against Espanyol in the Catalan derby.
With his sale possible, clubs in England have been alerted to his situation. According to Todofichajes, Manchester City are interested in signing the Brazilian, and could use a player-plus-cash deal in order to secure his services.
Although Chelsea are said to most keen of his signing, Barcelona's interest in members of Pep Guardiola's squad could play into the Citizens' hands. Specifically, Barca are interested in both Bernardo Silva and Joao Cancelo, with the latter said to be most likely to be used in any deal.
If Barcelona could offload a squad player in Raphinha, and replace him with a world class player in a position in which they are desperate for quality, that would be seen as a very good deal for the club.

Developed for helping professionals, Counseling Theory and Practice explains what it means to be an effective helper, discusses foundations of classic counseling and psychotherapy theories, provides an overview of emerging theories, and gives students the opportunity to develop their own approaches to counseling and psychotherapy practice.
The book is organized into four primary sections, each addressing theoretical schools. Section 1 explores psychodynamic approaches, including psychoanalysis, Jungian therapy, and Adlerian therapy. Section 2 is devoted to existential-humanistic approaches such as existential therapy, Gestalt therapy, and person-centered counseling, while Section 3 discusses cognitive-behavioral approaches, including behavior therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, rational-emotive behavior therapy, and reality therapy. Section 4 describes post-modern therapies and examines the relatively new approaches of narrative therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, and relational cultural therapy, a form of feminist therapy. The final chapter explores a number of more recent and emerging theories.
In support of the textbook, Counseling Theory and Practice features a Cognella Active Learning component that provides students with videos, reflection exercises, PowerPoint slideshows, flashcards, and quizzes in a digital environment. These additional materials give students an accessible way to study outside of the classroom in their own time and at their own pace.
Informative and engaging, Counseling Theory and Practice is well-suited to courses for both pre-service professionals and those already in the field.
Dr. Edward Neukrug is a professor of counseling and human services at Old Dominion University. A licensed professional counselor and licensed psychologist, he has experience in outpatient therapy, crisis counseling, substance abuse counseling, couples and family counseling, private practice, and as a school counselor. Dr. Neukrug is a nationally known author, presenter, and researcher.

Adopting instructors will receive 14 PowerPoint presentations, one for each chapter of the text, and a test bank featuring over 3,000 individual questions and 45 unique question sets.
"I just wanted to say how much I loved our theories text book, Counseling Theory and Practice. The examples were great and the cases really made the theories come to life. It's not every day that you read a textbook that truly grasps your attention in a way that this theories book did. I would definitely recommend this book for anyone who is interested in learning about the counseling theories. For me, this book rates a 15/10!"

Wyc Grousbeck thinks Ime Udoka doesn't represent Celtics culture problem
Boston Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck, right, speaks beside president of basketball operations Brad Stevens during a news conference, Friday, Sept. 23, 2022, in Boston. The Boston Celtics suspended coach Ime Udoka for the upcoming season after a months-long investigation by an external law firm that found multiple violations of team policies, team owner Wyc Grousbeck said Friday. (AP Photo/Michael Dwyer)AP
Matt Vautour | mvautour@masslive.com
BOSTON — With his organization under an unexpected microscope after coach Ime Udoka was suspended for an improper relationship with a team employee, Boston Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck said he didn't think the incident was part of a larger issue.
"My personal belief, as the CEO of the organization, is that we go to great lengths or appropriate lengths at least to run the organization with the core value of respect and freedom in the workplace from harassment or any unwelcome attention," he said. "Isolated incidents or patterns if they occur may be isolated or they may be a deeper signal. I personally don't believe that they're a deeper signal. But I will be personally talking to members of the organization to make sure that that's the case. This feels very much to me like this was one of a kind."
Grousbeck said management would be aware and attentive to the needs of employees directly and indirectly impacted.
"I think it's been difficult, and we need to see if we can take care of everybody that's been affected inside the organization, first and foremost. We need to uphold Celtic pride and what the Celtics stand for, and we're trying to do that here. Our hands are basically tied once certain things happen," he said. "There's gonna be a consequence and that's where we are. But just doing that sort of stuff doesn't take care of the human side adequately. And so we'll be continuing to do that moving forward and taking a lot of time and care – legitimate, genuine care to make sure that we take care of everybody affected."
Brad Stevens agreed.
"I think you have to have empathy for everybody involved. I really do. It's a really tough time. There's no question about it," he said. "But I think it's important to be empathetic, again, for everyone. That's the way I feel because it's tough."

Are you and your kids excited for camping in France? What can you do when you're there? Don't worry loads of great things! Check out our top 10 activities in Normandy.
Taking the whole family on a camping trip to Normandy is a great way to create memories and enjoy spending time together.
With plenty of historical sites, fun activities and opportunities to connect with nature, this beautiful region in Northern France is the perfect destination for all the family.
Read on to discover our top 10 things to do in Normandy while you're camping in France.
Built by William the Conqueror himself, and improved by his ancestors, this 11th-century castle is an impressive structure that you and your kids will love exploring.
The castle offers an imposing sight at the top of a hill, and includes three restored keeps, a large hall, and high walls with incredible views of the surrounding area.
But, it's the combination of history and cutting-edge technology that really makes this castle a must-see attraction while you're camping in Normandy.
On entry, all visitors are given an iPad which helps bring the castle to life through augmented reality.
By hovering your iPad over the 'time gates' in each room you can connect to information and videos relating to where you are. You can then scan the room with your iPad and view what the room would have looked like back in the 12th century.
Located just outside of Caen, Parc Festyland is under an hour's drive away from the picturesque Utah Beach Campsite.
Normandy's biggest amusement park is great fun for younger children. It includes roller coasters, bumper boats, a medieval castle and water slides for a perfect family day out.
With over 30 rides in total, your kids are sure to have fun playing all day. And, as most of the rides and attractions are historically-themed, they'll also be learning about the Battle of Hastings and Vikings while they enjoy themselves.
It's important to note, however, that the park isn't open every day so make sure to check the website link above if you plan on visiting Festyland during your stay in Normandy.
For some breath-taking natural beauty, a trip to the Alabaster Coast is a must-see for visitors to Normandy.
The jewel in the crown of this 80-mile coastal stretch is Etretat, where l'Aiguille (The Needle) is sure to leave you speechless.
To take in the best views, it's worth taking the simple hiking trail that goes along the edge of the cliff. From here you'll see white cliffs and dramatic rock formations, including one that looks like an elephant dipping its trunk into the sea!
Make a day of it by bringing a picnic or a selection of patisserie treats to enjoy at the top of the cliffs, then take a walk down to the beach to build sand castles or go for a paddle in the sea.
Situated close to the ferry port in Cherbourg, La Cite de la Mer is one of the most popular things to do in Normandy for families visiting the region.
Set in a vast ocean-liner Art Deco terminal, this unique attraction is also just a 30-minute drive from Camping La Gallouette.
La Cite de la Mer specialises in exciting exhibits depicting life under and on the sea.
Highlights include an incredible 17 aquariums, including the deepest in Europe, and the chance to walk through some of the luxurious rooms of the Titanic.
You can also climb aboard La Redoubtable, the largest submarine in the world on public display, or go on a virtual adventure through the depths of the ocean.
A few hundred yards from the Normandy coast, the stunning 8th-century abbey of Mont-St-Michel is one of our top picks of things to see in Normandy.
This beautiful UNESCO World Heritage Site perched on top of a granite outcrop seems like it's straight out of a fairy tale. And it's especially stunning to look across the bay when the lights start to come on around sunset.
But, when it comes to getting a closer look, crossing the bay to get to the abbey can be an adventure in itself!
The tides move fast, and when it's low tide in the bay there are areas of quicksand. So, even if your children are daredevils, it's best to stick to the connecting causeway when you want to cross to the island and back.
Once you get across to the island you can explore the mount's winding cobbled streets, filled with Gothic museums, restaurants and souvenir shops. You might also want to stop off for a crepe before you tackle the steep climb of over 900 steps to get to the abbey!
While you're in the area, the Parc Ange Michel is just 25 minutes away from Mont-Saint-Michel.
Set in beautiful surroundings, this amusement park is open from the 22nd of April to the 23rd of September, and is a great option for families on the lookout for what to do in Normandy.
The park boasts a variety of rides to appeal to children of all ages, from roller coasters to carousels. It also has karting for adults and electric cars for children, so there's something for all the family.
If the weather's not so great the park includes an impressive 7D cinema and a laser game, as well as other indoor activities to keep your kids busy.
And, in the hotter months, you and your kids can zoom down water slides and cool off in the outdoor swimming pool. There are also a number of water rides and bumper boats, as well as a paddling pool for little ones.
The Memorial de Caen museum is definitely worth a visit while you and your family are camping in Normandy.
The museum caters for all the family, with free entry for children under 10. But, as some of the exhibits are a little gory, it's best for children around seven and over.
Through spectacular presentation, the museum tells the story of the 20th century from the pre-1945 to the post-1945 period, and the events that had such a great impact on European history.
You and your kids will learn all about the events of World War II and D-Day, as well as its continued impact on the years that followed, such as during the Cold War.
Bringing history to life, the Memorial de Caen includes a recreated German bunker in the museum's expansive memorial gardens. And you can also sign up to one of the guided tours of the D-Day Landing beaches in Normandy to see where it all happened.
For a more tranquil day out with the family, a trip to Monet's Garden in Giverny is perfect for art lovers young and old.
The gardens have been restored to look as they did during Monet's lifetime. The waterlilies, Japanese bridge, and weeping willow trees are all easy to recognise from some of his most famous paintings, hung in galleries around the world.
You'll feel like you're walking through a painting as you explore the grounds and wander through the beautiful scenery.
And, if your kids are budding artists then they can take coloured pencils and a sketchbook into the gardens to have a go at recreating their own works of art. There are also family workshops at the Museum of Impressionism for children aged from five to 12.
The Zoo de Champrepus is a short 25-minute drive from Lez-Eaux campsite so it's an ideal place to visit if you're camping in the area.
The zoo boasts over 50 animal species, all with ample space to roam around in the unique 10-hectare setting divided into two parks. The well-thought-out layout includes a 'hands on' farmland area where you can get close to animals such as donkeys, goats and sheep, as well as various worldwide zones to explore.
For fans of big cats, there are tigers, panthers, lions and cheetahs, as well as zebras, giraffes, penguins and otters. But for many, a highlight is the lemur enclosure where you can walk among them and see them being fed between April and September.
There's also a play area and bouncy castles for all ages if your kids have any energy left after roaming the parks as well as a picnic area if you choose to bring your own food.
One of the most original things to do in Normandy, Clecy Gliss is a monorail luge circuit which allows you to slide down the hills of the Normandy countryside at speeds of up to 45 km per hour.
The 650-metre track takes in views of the Clecy viaduct and nearby cliffs, with slopes, jumps and bends for an exciting ride.
Although children under 90 cm are not allowed to ride, children between 90 cm and 130 cm can ride when accompanied by an adult. Adults and children over 130 cm can ride alone.
If not all of your kids can join in, there is a bouncy castle for younger ones, as well as a snack bar and terrace for enjoying the view with a snack or drink.
It's clear from this list that Normandy has it all when it comes to a great camping trip for all the family.
If you're searching for campsites in France for your stay in Normandy, then look no further. There's no better way to experience this beautiful region and all it has to offer than by booking one of our campsites today!
And don't forget to check out our essentials guide to camping in France before you head off.

Jesuit Missions of the Guaranis
The Jesuit Missions of the Guaranis are the archeological remains of towns created by the Jesuit Order.
The towns existed between 1609 and 1818, and aimed to socially, culturally and religiously elevate the local Guarani Indians. They also provided protection and economic stability. Originally there were 30 missions, spread out over Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil. The two Jesuit missions in Paraguay are now a separate WHS.
This designated site consists of five different missions:
São Miguel das Missões (Brazil)
San Ignacio Mini (Argentina)
Nuestra Señora de Santa Ana (Argentina)
Nuestra Señora de Loreto (Argentina)
Santa María la Mayor (Argentina)

I had the plan to visit both Loreto and San Ignacio Miní from Posadas including the light show in the evening and afterwards return to Posadas. I will highlight upfront: It worked out fine with public transportation!
Taking the bus from Posadas bus terminal which is about 5 km south of town center- easily reached by public buses- in the direction of Puerto Iguazù, I jumped off the bus in the middle of the highway 12 at a junction leading towards the really small village of Loreto. It´s about 45 minutes walk on the laterite dirt road until you reach the entrance gate of Loreto mission. I was almost the only one there at 3 p.m. on a sunny Wednesday. There is a visitor center with a 3D map of the mission where a female guide caught me and started introducing me to the mission. First of all I highlighted that I would like to go afterwards to San Igancio Miní which made her suggest that there is a 4 p.m. public bus that takes me from Loreto via Santa Ana (wrong direction) towards San Ignacio in about 45 minutes.
In that sense she was speeding up a little her presentation but she did it really well. Only speaking Spanish with some English words we managed really fine with my Spanish and Jesuit knowledge at that stage. Most interesting for me was the motivation of the Guaraní to go into a Christian Mission. Without knowledge I would have thought that the Guaraní were forced into the Mission but she explained that their chief decided for his tribe to found a mission because often the tribes were menaced by the Portugese and without fired arms they were helpless to defend themselves. Therefore they asked the Spanish to found the Jesuit missions also the get access to weapons and defend themselves from the commun enemy. Also very interesting for me was that only 2 Spanish Jesuits were responsible for the couple of thousand Guaraní in the mission. I would have thought that it was like a mixed society.
All in all Loreto is really great to experience after visiting Trinidad in Paraguay as it´s totally different. The ruins were not freed from the nature and it looks really left as it was when first re-discovered. Only some stones are added afterwards or exchanged but then they are marked as not original. Also some wooden excarvation constructions save for example the original lavatory of the mission. Additionally in the middle of the forest with ruins there are a lot of Yerba Mate trees which was also one of the key resources of the Missions to export and interesting to see where all the tea comes from that I have also started drinking being in South America.
After paying the guide an unexpeted money and hurrying to the Loreto bus station and waiting another 20 minutes until the bus actually came at 04:20 p.m. (please check with the guides ahead of your visit when there is a public bus coming that will take you to the other WHS towns of Santa Ana and San Ignacio) I arrived at San Ignacio at about 5 p.m.. I made the tricky decision to eat something in the restaurant La Misionerita right at the highway which caused me to arrive at San Ignacion Miní (another 20 min walk away from the Ruta) only at about 6:30 p.m.. This was unfortunately the time when they closed the gates for public visit and they only re-opened at 8:15 p.m. for the 8:30 p.m. for the light show. Luckily in the meantime in the park next to the mission the samba club of the town had its public practice where the teenagers of town practiced their carnaval skills like playing the drums, singing and of course the swing of the hips. Being entertained for over an hour I went back the few metres to the mission San Ignacio Miní for the light show.
I liked the technique of the light show a lot, the story was a bit too much for me. All Spanish Dyslexics received headphones that worked really well for me with the English text in my ear instead of the public Sopanish loudspeakers in the dark. In the meantime a Guaraní chiefs´ face was projected on a tree telling the story of the Guaraní in the missions. Then a really thin layer of water was created in the dark forest where a story of a Guaraní boy was projected on. Really impressive technique but a bit too much of a Disney Story for me with not so many information. The same concept led me through the whole mission to the Plaza Mayor in the end telling the story of the mission and the boy. The ruins were also enlighted in a colourful way most of the time. After 40 minutes the show ended and I was able to stop a bus at the ruta that took me back to Posadas Terminal and at about 11:15 p.m. another public bus took me back to the Posadas hostel.
Having seen San Igancio Miní only in the enlighted dark it´s hard to get a full understanding, but I think San Ignacio Miní is cmparable to Trinidad in Paraguay. It´s quite big and well prepared for visiting with cut grass and nature free ruins. I liked the mixture of visiting Loreto with a guide for the information and San Ignacio Miní with the light show. However the visit of these three missions gave me enough of a picture of the Jesuit missions.

Tucked away in a North Eastern corner of Argentina are three Jesuit missions. The Jesuits were granted the rights to operate independantly from the local government by the Spanish crown. Their goal was to spread Christianity to the locals. But they also protected the natives from the frequent incursions of slavers and brought some progress to the area.
Unfortunately, the right once granted to the Jesuits was eventually revoked as the king came to fear their independence. This was a trend across the whole of Europe. In the Spanish case the suppression came when the Spanish rulers tried to take more control of their possessions in the Americas.
With the Jesuits gone the whole system quickly fell apart as the economic system failed and the towns were raided frequently by slavers. Eventually, the cities were abandoned and the natives returned to their previous lifesystle. These sites turned into ruins and were absorbed by the jungle.
On my way to Iguazu from Posadas I managed to visit the three sites lined along Highway 12. They offer plenty of variety when it comes to the remains, the reconstruction and excavation..
Loreto: Nowadays covered in jungle this gives off a real Indiana Jones vibe. Some excavations were done, but they didn't do big restorations or clear the forrest. Loreto was also one of the largest Jesuit Mission, so I would definitively encourage you to make the trip here if you visit the missions.
Santa Ana: In Santa Ana they cleared plenty of the forests covering the area, so it's not as original as Loreto. But it's not as reconstructed as San Ignacio Mini either. If you want to skip one mission this would probably be my candidate as it doesn't represent either extreme. On the other hand it's easier to reach by bus than Loreto as Santa Ana is the larger town.
San Ignacio Mini: The most accessible and most reconstructed of the three sites on the Arginitian side. Placed directly in the town center there is no jungle covering the area. As I understand it some parts were also reconstructed. As such this is probably the most prominent example of the three. The most similar site is in nearby Paraguay, the Jesuit Mission of Trinidad.
For anyone travelling the area, these sites may get washed away by the grandiosity of the Iguazu waterfalls, but you would be missing out on a fine site.
In the meantime I have seen one more, San Javier in Bolivia, a Jesuit Mission of the Chiquitos. As mentioned in the review the Bolivian mission was in substantially better shape than anything in saw in Paraguay or Argentina with the original church and town planning still intact.
San Ignacio Mini can be accessed from two sides. You have airports in Foz de Iguacu (Brazil) to the North and in Posadas (Argentina) to the South. There are plenty of busses running between Puerto Iguazu (Argentina) and Posadas. Make sure to get an express bus if possible as you will stop in every town along the road otherwise.
Travelling to Santa Ana from San Ignacio Mini is fairly straightforward as Santa Ana is one of those stops along the highway from Posadas to Puerto Iguazu. Getting to Loreto, meanwhile, was a bit harder, as it's not a regular stop along the highway. There is a local bus that runs rather infrequently that you can take. Winking down a bus on the highway meanwhile (as indicated by some travel guides) is not possible. I failed for an hour so to get any bus to stop for me.
While You Are There
Obviously, if you have made it to the Jesuit Missions you need to visit Iguacu/Iguazu. It's a pretty straightforward trip from San Ignacio Mini. And due to some quirks in the Unesco process it counts twice, once for the Brazilian side and once for the Argentinian one.
I would encourage you to also travel to the nearby Jesuit Missions in Paraguay. Due to some more quirks in the inscription process it counts as a separate site. You should be able to cross the border (and river) near San Ignacio Mini saving yourself the trip back to Encarcion and Posadas, but I could't figure it out at the time.

One year ago on a snowy night I watched the 1986 movie "The Mission", which covers historical events that affected the Jesuit Missions of the Guaranís in much warmer South America. The film highlights the love of music the Jesuits and Guaraní shared; at many of the missions the Jesuits taught the Guaraní people European choral music, as well as how to make instruments. The film also highlights the fallout from the Treaty of Madrid in 1750, in which the Jesuit missions faced the ceding of territory from the Spanish empire, which ostensibly outlawed slavery of the Guaraní, to the Portuguese empire, which allowed it. It was with this context in mind that I visited the San Ignacio Miní mission near Posadas, Argentina, in March 2016. The Baroque ruins are in spectacular shape, and show how impressive the main church must have been when fully intact. Around the periphery of the site were the remains of long barrack-style buildings, storehouses, and workshops. The Guaraní here were not directly affected by the Treaty of Madrid, since they were in Argentine territory, but I feel for the Guaraní who had to fight for their security at the missions in Brazil.
Logistics: The Jesuit Missions of the Guaranís can be reached by bus or private transportation in Argentina or Brazil. I took a day tour with a company from Puerto Iguazú to visit San Ignacio Miní.

Last weekend I visited the Brazilian part of this WHS, that is São Miguel das Missões. I had previously visited the Argentinian ruins of San Ignacio Miní, and these two sites are probably the best preserved of all inscribed Jesuit Missions of the Guarani ruins (the Paraguayan ones are a separate WHS).
The former São Miguel das Missões church has a remarkable façade and also a very interesting museum of guarani christian art, including a bell used when the mission was active.
There are some other ruins nearby, worth visiting, but only the São Miguel ruins were declared WHS in Brazil.

As far as the sound and light show is concerned I very much disagree with Davis C. Bales opinion. I saw the show in February 2010 and found it truly amazing! Excellent lighting, great effects and a good mixture between entertainment and information. I am a media engineer and have seen many multimedia shows before. And even with that background this show really stood out. So it looks like you have to go and see for yourself wether you like it or not. :-) The only thing that wasn't so great was that the mp3 player you get for other language versions didn't work properly. But still I loved the show!
How we got there: We took a bus from Iguazu to San Igancio. What you read in various forums is true: It is really no trouble at all to simply walk into the bus station and buy a ticket to go to San Igancio. Buses leave every hour or sometimes even more often. They drop you off right in front of the tourist info which comes in handy aswell. There we booked our next busride to Salta with Flecha Bus.
Oh, one more thing: If you use long distance buses, always put your luggage in a waterproof bag or something. Water from the aircondition flows on the luggage. One of your bags was soaking (with all clothes inside dripping wet). It also helps to ask the guy who loads your luggage into the bus to put it somewhere dry while you give him an extra tip.

San Ignacio Mini is the most popular of these 'Missions' (the locals more aptly call them Las Ruinas). I went there by public bus from Posadas. This trip takes over an hour, passing fine scenery of endless green fields and forests. I was the only one to be dropped off at the church of San Ignacio, and was given directions by the busboy to get to my destination. San Ignacio is a sleepy little town, where the selling of souvenirs seems to be the main trade. Before entering the San Ignacio Mini complex, you first have to brave 250 meters of souvenir stalls.
The entrance was free today (normally it's 25 pesos for foreigners). I don't know why I didn't have to pay, it could have been a holiday / a protest / a malfunctioning computer / lack of change or whatever. I've been in Argentina now for less than a week, and I've seldom paid any entry fees (I rode for free in the Buenos Aires metro for 3 days). The same observation counts for the double pricing system: they do tend to differ prices between Argentinians, Other Latin Americans, and Other foreigners, but aren't strict in following this through: they just assume everybody is Argentinian. Personally, I can't believe the money they're throwing away (especially at the Buenos Aires metro, which could use some new paint).
Back to San Ignacio Mini - what kind of site is this? It was a small town with a church (of course), a large central square, houses for the residents (the Guarani), and other communal buildings. Now it is almost completely in ruins. The new life that has entered the ruined buildings did fascinate me the most - pretty and big lizards lazing in the sun, lots of birds, trees, and plants taking over from the stones again. The site management tries to keep all ruined buildings 'clean', but I like it when nature claims it back. It's a very pleasant place to wander around for an hour or two, but I wouldn't be sad when it would disappear and become part of the jungle again.
United States - 27-Jun-05 -
I visited some 20 Jesuit mission sites in Paraguay, Argentina, and Brazil, including San Ignacio, Loreto, Santa Ana, and Sta Maria la Mayor. There are other mission sites in the region that need protection and the support that inclusion on the UNESCO World Heritage Sites lists confer. At the top of the list I would include several mission sites in Brazil, particularly San Lorenzo Martir, and San Cosme in Paraguay. Other sites, such as Corpus Christi and Martires, need protection and rehabilitation.

San Ignacio Mini is well worth the visit for anyone at nearby Iguassu Falls, whether on the Argentine or Brazilian side. Though there are guided tours available from Iguassu, driving on your own is quite easy. It is possible to drive to San Ignacio and back in the same day though spending the night adds to the experience. However, the town offers few accomodations, the best of which are hard-pressed to earn a 1-star rating. From Buenos Aires it is not so easy to reach Argentina's State of Misiones.
On certain nights there is a sound and light show. The slightest hint of rain and the show will be cancelled; the equipment is simple and not water resistent. So, as can be expected, the show is rather primitive and its simplicity could hardly be expressed as charming. Boring may be a better descriptive. The lighting is uneventful and the sound is a recorded narration (in Spanish) of the mission's history with some music of the jesuit-educated natives as a background mixed with some booms and crashes to depict the battles with they fought with the Brazilian slave traders. Not emotionally stirring!
In the summer it is barely dark when the light show begins, reducing even more the already limited effect. Needless to say, it was a disappointment and one should spend the night to experience the simplicity of the village and not for the light show. But catch it if you are already there and reach your own conclusions.
All that said, I would recommend making the effort to visit San Ignacio Mini to anyone with an interest in South American history or who enjoyed the 1986 Academy Award winning film "The Mission" starring Robert DeNiro, Jeremy Irons and Liam Neeson. Walking tyhrough the mission's grounds is walking through history. In the past 2 years I have made the trek twice by motorcycle from Rio de Janeiro and have a feeling I will return.

No sanctions on Iran: Sushma
Minister meets Iranian counterpart, says India recognises only UN sanctions
India will not accept sanctions imposed, or to be imposed, by the United States on Iran, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said on Monday. The remarks were a categorical rejection of Washington's decision to withdraw from the six-nation Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) nuclear agreement and its plans to impose massive new sanctions on Iranian entities.
Ms. Swaraj's comments came just ahead of a meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, who has been travelling to several capitals including Moscow, Beijing and Brussels, in an effort to salvage the agreement despite the U.S. move.
Not under pressure
"Our foreign policy is not made under pressure from other countries," Ms. Swaraj told journalists at a press conference. "We recognise UN sanctions and not country-specific sanctions. We didn't follow U.S. sanctions on previous occasions either."
In a statement on May 13, U.S. National Security Adviser John Bolton said clearly that countries that "continue to deal with Iran could face sanctions".
Iran is India's third largest oil supplier, and India has many areas of strategic engagement with Iran, including management of the Shahid Beheshti Port in Chabahar, co-development of the International North-South Transport Corridor to Russia, as well as bilateral trade of about $13 billion of which about $5 billion was in non-oil trade in 2016-17.
Although the figures reduced in 2017, India has committed to increasing its offtake of oil from Iran this year, after President Hassan Rouhani and Prime Minister Modi held talks in Delhi in February.
In a statement issued after Ms. Swaraj's meeting with Mr. Zarif on Monday, the MEA said the Ministers had "positively assessed the implementation of decisions taken during the visit of President Rouhani to India… [including] in the areas of connectivity, energy, trade and promotion of people to people contacts."
"EAM conveyed that all parties to the [JCPOA] Agreement should engage constructively for peaceful resolution of the issues that have arisen with respect to the Agreement," the statement added.
Ms. Swaraj's comments and the visit by Mr. Zarif to Delhi indicate the government intends to continue its engagement with Iran despite U.S. sanctions. However, Ms. Swaraj did not explain how India would hope to get around banking and insurance restrictions that may come about as the U.S. increases pressure on European banks which the India-Iran trade depends on.

Admission to Polish universities starts in March!
The Stefan Banach programme is part of Polish scholarship offer addressed to developing countries. So far, it has been one of the most visible Polish development projects in the East, because it was addressed mainly to students from the Eastern Partnership countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine) and Central Asia ( Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan).
Under the Polish presidency of the Berlin Process, the scholarship offer prepared by the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange will be also available to students from Western Balkan countries (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Kosovo, Macedonia and Serbia) starting from the 2019/2020 academic year.
The scholarship programme supports the social and economic growth of developing countries in Europe and Central Asia through raising their education level and upgrading professional skills of their citizens. The scheme is named after Stefan Banach, an outstanding Polish mathematician, co-founder of the Lvov School of Mathematics and of the branch of mathematics called functional analysis.
In the 2019/2020 academic year, 75 scholarship holders will be offered a possibility to pursue a graduate degree at a higher education institution supervised by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education. Candidates choose a university and academic programme of their preference from among those offered by Polish universities. The main advantage of the programme is free education offered to students enrolled at engineering, technical, agricultural, as well as exact and natural science faculties. Additionally, before beginning their studies, participants attend a one-year preparatory course, including Polish language classes. During the course and the studies, students receive a monthly scholarship in the amount of PLN 1,500.
To find a list of public higher education institutions supervised by the minister of higher education, click here: http://www.go-poland.pl/pl/system-szkolnictwa-wy-szego.
Scholarships offered under the Stefan Banach Programme are financed by the Polish MFA's development assistance as part of the Polish Aid programme.

The Business Boutique Podcast
Ep 70: How to Be Content in Every Situation
There is something sacred in every season we go through. There is training in the trenches.
Picture this: You're booked to speak on a college campus. The auditorium seats 1,000, but only three students show up. Yes, that's 997 empty seats. And the icing on the cake? The three students who bothered to show up only did so for the extra credit.
Or how about this: You're speaking at a conference for a bank, and even though there are enough seats for a few hundred people, only two show up. TWO! Are you cringing yet? To make matters worse, one of them talks—yes, talks, not texts—on her cell phone during your presentation. Oh, and that other attendee? He promptly falls asleep and snores the whole time.
No, I'm not describing my worst nightmares. Unfortunately, both of those things actually happened to me. I mean, I can't make this stuff up!
And, y'all, I have stories like these for days from the years I spent speaking in high school cafeterias, family reunions, libraries and strip malls.
As an aspiring professional speaker like I was at the time, it would've been easy to get discouraged in those situations. And believe me, some days were harder than others. But really, it's natural to feel disappointed when reality doesn't measure up to your expectations—like when your business isn't as big, impressive or successful as you thought it would be today.
Patience can be hard, right?
I get it because I've been there. But you know what? Even in that season when nobody showed up for my speeches, when every audience was tiny, I always brought the same level of passion and energy.
Related: Play to the Size of Your Heart
Why? Because I believe there is something sacred in every season we go through.
In other words, there is training in the trenches.
It's during those hard seasons that something happens in you that can't happen any other way. It's like a rite of passage. So, instead of wishing away what you're going through right now or focusing on what's next, I encourage you to find contentment in the now.
I know that can be challenging when you've got big dreams. But I promise, it's possible to be content with where you are today without giving up on your goals—it's a both/and situation. That could look like super-serving the 200 Instagram followers you have today while working to turn that into 200,000. Or giving a heartfelt speech to five people while working on the marketing plan to grow your following. It's both being content and striving for more.
Related: Dream Bigger for Your Business
I've told you this before, but it's worth repeating. If you're not faithful with what you have and where you are today, God can't trust you with more. That's exactly why—no matter if I'm speaking to two people or 2,000—I bring my all to every single speaking engagement.
Don't despise your small beginnings, embrace them. Practicing contentment makes it much easier to hear what God is teaching you in each season. Here are three ways you can start doing that right now:
Three Ways to Practice Contentment
1. Control Your Thoughts
You have more power over your mind than you think. I know this is hard, especially when you're scrolling Instagram and see that one of your girlfriends has a brand-new kitchen or is on a fancy vacation. Do you know what you're doing in that moment? You're comparing someone else's highlight reel to your current reality. Stop doing that!
Comparison is a recipe for discouragement and resentment.
Related: The Benefits of Practicing Gratitude
2. Focus on What You Have
When you look at what you already have, it is so much easier to have an attitude of gratitude. I love how 2 Corinthians 10:5 tells us to take every thought captive to Christ. When you feel comparison creep in, kick those thoughts to the curb and focus on what you're grateful for instead.
The truth is, you and I have more than most people. We live in the greatest country in the world with more money, resources and technology than we know what to do with. So stop focusing on what you wish you had. Focus on what you do have, and I bet you'll find it difficult not to be content.
3. Write It Down
There is something so powerful about writing down things like what you're grateful for or the goals you're striving towards. It's as if by writing them down, you're elevating their importance so they can take on a life of their own.
That's because when you put something down on paper, you remove it from the battlefield of your mind and bring it into the real world.
How to Be More Content with Rachel Cruze
My guest today is Rachel Cruze! She's the best-selling author of Love Your Life, Not Theirs and Smart Money Smart Kids. She's also a speaker, host of The Rachel Cruze Show and one of my very best friends.
Rachel is passionate about helping people balance spending and saving money. But everything she teaches about money centers around contentment. That's because mismanaging your finances is often a symptom of a deeper issue: discontentment.
In her work, she has found that content people are more likely to win with money because:
They're more inclined to save money
They're willing to sacrifice to get out of debt
They live generous lives
On today's episode, we talk about:
What contentment actually is and isn't
A real formula you can use to quit comparison
How to be grateful—even on the days you don't feel like it
I'm so excited to share that Rachel has just released a beautiful tool to help us all on this journey. Rachel's Contentment Journal is a 90-day guided journal all about loving your life and focusing on who God created you to be. If you want to learn more and read the first 10 pages for free, text RC Journal to 33444 or click on the link in the Resources section below.
Contentment and FOMO
Time management is something I struggle with every single day—yes, even as a business coach! We all have 24 hours in a day, but somehow that never feels like enough. And social media has made this even harder. FOMO, anyone?
Related: Excuses That Steal Your Time
Thanks to FOMO, it's so much harder to say no. We say yes to all the invitations because if we don't, we're afraid we'll regret it when we see everything we missed out on all over Instagram.
But, guess what? Contentment is actually the cure for FOMO! When you're content where you are—whether that's at home in your pajamas on a Friday night or at the playground on a Sunday afternoon—you have the confidence to say no. You can easily turn down invitations without fear because you know you've said yes to what really matters to you.
Y'all, here's the thing: We can't do it all. Spending time trying to keep up with other people's demands and expectations is just plain exhausting. I want you to not just find contentment in your heart, but also find contentment in how you manage your time. This week, I challenge you to spend your time only on what's most important to you.
