DCB University Counselling: Helping Students Activate Their Potential
Share on Share Share on Share Share on Share
Counsellors are one of the most important people in a student's journey to university. Not only do they assist students in exploring their options and putting together the best application possible, but they help guide their academic, professional, and social-emotional development on the whole.
At DCB, university counselling takes on an enhanced meaning, with a full-time counselling team that provides parents and students with comprehensive support in all areas related to university preparation, application, and selection. This means going beyond application essays and interview preparation to advising on the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) and International Baccalaureate (IB) course selection, standardised testing strategy, extracurricular activities, and more.
The team is headed by Jeffrey Harmon, Director of University Counselling. With seven years of experience in China and two years at DCB, Jeffrey graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign summa cum laude with a degree in Global Studies and East Asian Languages and Cultures. During his time in university, he also worked in residential life and participated extensively in research on the experience of Asian international students, preparing him well for his later endeavours advising families on their upcoming transitions.
Jeffrey and his team boast a wealth of knowledge and experience from working in university admissions offices, teaching students, and having been international students themselves. They have successfully counselled students who desire to study in renowned universities around the world, including the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, the Netherlands, and Australia.
"As full-time university counsellors, we can devote more individual attention to each student, making sure they are progressing on their own journey to discovering their interests, setting goals, and then achieving them," explains Jeffrey. "We firmly believe in helping students understand the multitude of options they have."
The Road to University
The journey to university truly starts when students enter Key Stage 4 in the IGCSE curriculum. Not only do they begin choosing their subjects, but universities pay particular attention to the choice of courses as part of the overall assessment.
This doesn't mean that Year 9 students must already have a clear-cut idea of what they want to do in the future. "What is more important is that each student honestly reflects on what aspects they enjoy about school, which aspects are a bigger challenge to them, and what kind of future they imagine for themselves once they aren't a student anymore," says Jeffrey. "This is a more difficult task, but it lays the important foundation for nurturing genuine motivation."
The counselling team plan to engage with students earlier on in their journey in Senior School and provide more platforms for dialogue with parents. Earlier this year, DCB launched an initiative named Worldwise Academy linking students with professionals in areas of science and technology; business, finance and entrepreneurship; arts and creative industries; and public affairs and law. Jeffrey considers leveraging Worldwise Academy and other initiatives like Coffee with the College Counsellors when the circumstances allow. Enhancing communications is essential to ensuring "no bad applications, " as it begins the counselling process early to establish the groundwork for a robust application.
"This is an individualised process, meaning there is no clear-cut formula," stresses Jeffrey. "It requires a significant degree of trust and active communications between students and counsellors. We also work closely with the entire school and even the broader Dulwich International network to create holistic support structures, so that the development of skills or intrapersonal reflection needed for university preparation is woven into other aspects of school."
The Role of Parents
Preparing for university study is a long process that involves many different components, and one of the most important factors is parents. As a complement to the academic and personal development that takes place at school, parents play an important part in facilitating meaningful exploration, reflection, and communication.
According to Jeffrey, one of the major milestones in a student's journey is being able to answer the question "Why?" When it comes to university selection, students need to be able to articulate the reasons behind their choice of target country, university, profession, or major by Year 11, as there are distinct strategies with course selection for the IB Diploma. Open communications with parents and the opportunity to experience different things is instrumental to helping students gain clarity and a sense of purpose.
"Share your own experiences as a teenager and young adult, including what you enjoyed or didn't about school, university, or your first job," urges Jeffrey. "Allow them to try new things, but also hold them accountable when they need to honour commitments. Give them the space to problem solve, which will involve struggling and even temporary failure."
A Look Back at the Class of 2020's Excellent Results
Not only did the Class of 2020 achieve stellar IB Diploma results, but they also earned places in leading universities around the world. "By no means was this past year an easy ride," admits Jeffrey. "However, the results stand as a testament to the importance of the difficult yet necessary conversations about aspirations versus reality and the strategy to bridge the gap."
The achievements include:
DCB's first offer of admission to the Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), which only admits 40 or fewer overseas students a year.
Strong results across elite universities in the United States, with students planning to enroll at Princeton University, the University of Chicago, Brown University, Rice University, the University of Notre Dame, the University of California-Berkeley, the University of California-Los Angeles, and the University of Southern California.
Confirmed offers among the most selective universities in the United Kingdom, with students planning to enroll at the University of Cambridge, the University of Oxford, the London School of Economics and Political Science, and University College London.
Continued excellence in the arts, with students to pursue Film and Interactive Media Arts at New York University, Architecture at McGill University, music at the Berklee College of Music, performance at the New England Conservatory, and additional programs at Parsons School of Design, Rhode Island School of Design, Emerson College, and the University of the Arts London.
With such promising and diverse roads ahead for the Class of 2020, Jeffrey encourages parents to cultivate their children's interests. "Give your child enough time and exposure before they settle on a major of interest or a potential career," he advises. "Let your child see the complexity and potential of what is truly possible; you can never be pleasantly surprised if you do not set up the chance."

Banks, mortgage lenders, investment management firms, credit unions, credit card companies, and any other financial institution should take advantage of the multiple language services that can aid in attracting and servicing diverse clientele. Allowing limited English proficient (LEP) clients the ability to understand the financial information provided to them is the first step in obtaining their business and accommodating their needs. With the incorporation of language services, financial institutions can build relationships with diverse clients and offer financial advice, aid, and services in a language their clients can understand. Everyone utilizes financial services regardless of the language they speak, making interpretation and translation accommodations for LEP clients can allow your financial institution to grow and prosper in new untapped markets.
Utilizing interpretation and translation services helps your financial institution to provide services to diverse consumer markets in their native language. This allows for people to actually understand the complex information at hand and utilize your services over others who do not offer interpretation and translation services.
Investing in professional interpretation and translation services allows your financial institution to gain new customers by expanding into diverse markets and appealing to them by providing language accommodations.
The use of interpretation services allows for a more efficient and productive bilingual customer service phone call. Using over-the-phone (OPI) interpretation services allows you to connect to an interpreter for pre-scheduled or on-demand appointments with little to no wait time. OPI is a wonderful aid when clients call to simply pay a bill or dispute a charge for example.
The use of professional interpretation and translation services creates a higher customer satisfaction and improves customer experience which increases retention rates.
Having commonly used documents translated and kept on hand for LEP clients aids in providing clarity and understanding, it saves time by having the information already translated and it allows LEP clients to feel secure with their choice to use your financial services.
Interpretation services are an invaluable solution when accommodating LEP clients. As stated previously, OPI is a great remote language solution to use if there is a quick exchange of information at hand. It can be a great resource for banks who service large LEP communities on a daily basis. Video remote interpreting (VRI) is another remote interpretation solution, used as a platform for spoken as well as sign language interpretation services. VRI keeps the audio as well as visual aspects of an interpretation session intact as to ensure accuracy on all accords. If a subject is serious in matter or if you need the aid of a sign language interpreter, VRI can connect you to a professional and experienced interpreter able to aid you will all your language needs. Whether it be conference calls or client meetings, interpretation services are a vital means of bridging language barriers and allowing all parties involved the necessity of being not the same page.

Since May 15 of last year, all government employees and public school teachers receive a midyear bonus which is an equivalent to their one month salary. Under Budget Circular 2017-2, the government allocated a total of Php 36.2 billion that will cover 1.5 million employees.
A regular, contractual, appointive, casual, full or part time workers in an executive, judiciary, legislative constitutional commissions and offices, state universities and colleges, public school teachers, civilian personnel and members of the Armed Forces are all covered by the compensation and are entitled to the bonus. Retirees who are extended on their job will also have a privilege for the extra wage.
However, an employee must at least work with a minimum of 4 months in service and acquired a satisfactory performance or more. According to Budget Secretary Benjamin Diokno, it is non-taxable and will not surpass up to Php 90,000.
In time with the release of midyear bonuses, Operations Division Ligaya A. Regis and Chief of School Governance declared a memorandum for concerned executives and workers to arrange and present a payroll in time to process and deliberate the payment for teachers.
Ligaya also prompted bothered employees to ready their Master List of First Day of Service of Employees that is verified by the school principal and an accredited and true copy of their Form & report of March this year.
Meanwhile, laborers from agencies such as Government Owned and Controlled Corporations (GOCCs) will be exempted according to the Republic Act No. 6758 or Salary Standardization Law because they have a different compensation and position classification system.
Workers who got their job through job contracts with a specific project and their payment is output based will not receive the extra salary as referred to the DBM circular. The 14th month pay or granting of midyear bonus is instructed from Executive order No. 201 that former President Aquino signed.

# Upgrade Guide

This file provides notes on how to upgrade between versions.

## v0.10 to v0.11

### Testing

The testing namespace has been moved to a separate package. To install:

```bash
$ composer require --dev cloudcreativity/json-api-testing
```

## v0.9 to v0.10

### Interfaces

If you are implementing `Contracts\Factories\FactoryInterface`, make the following changes:

- `createRequest()` now takes a `StoreInterface` as its final argument.
- add `createResponse()`.
- add `createErrorResponse()`.
- add `createDocumentObject()`.
- `createApi()` is no longer on the interface and can be removed if you are not using it.

If you are implementing `Contracts\Repositories\ErrorRepositoryInterface`, add the `errors()` method to
your implementation.

The following methods have been added to the `Contracts\Object\DocumentInterface`:

- `getIncluded()`
- `getErrors()`

The `Contracts\Http\ApiInterface` has been removed as it is no longer required in this package. You can still continue
to use APIs, but you will need to remove references to this interface.

The `Contracts\Http\Responses\ResponseFactoryInterface` has been removed. However, the methods are now available
directly on the `Http\Responses\AbstractResponses` class.

### Document Decoder

The `DocumentDecoder` has been removed. You should use the `createDocumentObject` method on the factory instead
if creating a document from a PSR server request. If creating a document from a string, then use this package's
`json_decode` helper function, passing the result into a new document instance. I.e.:

```php
$document = new \CloudCreativity\JsonApi\Object\Document(
    \CloudCreativity\JsonApi\json_decode($string)
);
```

### Responses

The `Http\Responses\ResponseFactory` has been merged into `Http\Responses\AbstractResponses`. This is because the
factory simply wrapped the responses implementation, effectively providing helper methods. It reduced complexity
to merge the two.

You will need to check the constructor arguments of the abstract class and amend your implementation accordingly.

## v0.8 to v0.9

### Renaming `Resource`

The `Object\Resource` class has been renamed because it is a reserved word in PHP 7. Also, the JSON API spec refers
to `resource objects` rather than `resources`.

The following have therefore been renamed:

- `Contracts\Object\ResourceInterface` to `Contracts\Object\ResourceObjectInterface`
- `Object\Resource` to `Object\ResourceObject`
- `Contracts\Object\ResourceCollectionInterface` to `Contracts\Object\ResourceObjectCollectionInterface`
- `Object\ResourceCollection` to `Object\ResourceObjectCollection`
- `Testing\ResourceTester` to `Testing\ResourceObjectTester`
- `Testing\ResourcesTester` to `Testing\ResourceObjectsTester`

## Standard Object

The standard object implementation has been separated out into its own package: `cloudcreativity/utils-object`.
The following no longer exist in this package and need to be namespaced to the new package:

- `Contracts\Object\StandardObjectInterface` to `\CloudCreativity\Utils\Object\StandardObjectInterface`
- `Object\StandardObject` to `\CloudCreativity\Utils\Object\StandardObject`

The method signatures and some of the method names have been changed on the new interface so you may need to
rename method calls appropriately: refer to the new interface.

### Validator Error Factory

If you are implementing the validator error factory interface anywhere in your code, you will need to add the
following new methods:

- `resourceInvalidAttributesMessages()`
- `queryParametersMessages()`

## v0.7 to v0.8

### Factories

We have removed the API factory, because we feel it is better for each framework-specific package to implement its
own methodology of creating APIs. This allows the API to be defined in the way that best suites each framework.

We have created a single factory interface that extends the `neomerx/json-api` factory interface. This extended
interface contains adds the methods that cover the capabilities added by this package. The extended contract
can be found at `Contracts\Factories\FactoryInterface` and this is used by `Factories\Factory`.

These changes mean the following have been removed:

- `Contracts\Http\ApiFactoryInterface`
- `Http\ApiFactory`
- `Contracts\Http\Requests\RequestFactoryInterface`

### API

The following methods have been removed from the `Contracts\Http\ApiInterface`:

- `getHttpFactory`: if you need a factory, you should dependency inject `Contracts\Factories\FactoryInterface` instead.
- `getRequestInterpreter`: this has been moved to `Contracts\Http\HttpServiceInterface` as there is no need for an
interpreter on a per-API basis.
- `getPagingStrategy`: we are refactoring so that paging is a per-resource concern, rather than an API concern. This is
because different resources, and resource has-many relationships, can independently use different strategies.
- `getOptions`: framework-specific options are no longer the concern of the API class.

We have added `getErrors()` to the interface to return an errors repository as errors are highly likely to be specific
to a particular API.

### Authorizers

The `Contracts\Authorizer\AuthorizerInterface` has been amended to add a `$resourceType` function argument
to `canReadMany()` and `canCreate()`. This allows an Authorizer to be used for multiple resource types.

### HTTP Service

You will need to add the method `getRequestInterpreter()` to your class that implements
`Contracts\Http\HttpServiceInterface`.

### Request Handlers

To reduce the number of units that need creating per resource type, we have removed the Request handler. In effect
this handler was doing four things:

1. Checking the relationship name in the URL was valid. This should be moved to route registration (i.e. only register
routes for valid relationships).
2. Triggering authorization via an Authorizer instance. This should be moved to middleware.
3. Validating request query parameters. This has been moved to the validator provider (see *Validators* below).
4. Triggering content validation via a Validator provider instance. This should also be moved to middleware.

To aid with middleware implementations, two traits have been created:

- `Http\Middleware\AuthorizesRequests::authorize()`
- `Http\Middleware\ValidatesRequests::validate()`

As a result of these changes, we have removed the following:

- `Contracts\Http\Requests\RequestHandlerInterface`
- `Http\Requests\RequestHandler`

### Validators

We have amended the `Contracts\Validators\ValidatorProviderInterface`, removing `filterResources()` and adding
`queryChecker()`. This new method returns an instance of the `QueryCheckerInterface` from the `neomerx/json-api`
package, which better reflects that the validator provider is able to provide a validator instance for checking
all query parameters.

The `Contracts\Validators\FilterValidatorInterface` has been removed as a result. Filter validation should be
achieved by the query checker instance returned by the validator provider.

### Store and Adapters

We have refactored adapters so that they relate to one resource. This fits our plan to ultimately use the adapter
to also filter resources, filter relationships etc. I.e. the adapter will contain a lot of search logic that will be
very specific to a particular resource type.

The store is now injected with a container that holds lazily-loads all adapters, along the same lines as the schema
container from the `neomerx/json-api` package.

To upgrade, convert any adapters that handle multiple resource types into a container that implements
`Contracts\Store\ContainerInterface`, returning a class that implements the updated
`Contracts\Store\AdapterInterface` for each resource type.

If you need to use a multiple adapter containers, wrap them in the `Store\ContainerIterator` implementation. This
allows you to load multiple containers into a single container class. The iterator will loop over the containers and
return the first adapter that is created.

## v0.6 to v0.7

### Config

The following new validation error keys need to be added to your `validation.php` config file:

```php
  /**
   * When the resource type of a related resource is not recognised.
   */
  V::RELATIONSHIP_UNKNOWN_TYPE => [
      Error::TITLE => 'Invalid Relationship',
      Error::DETAIL => "Resource type '{actual}' is not recognised.",
      Error::STATUS => 400,
  ]
```

### Store

If you have your own store implementation, you will need to add `Contracts\Store\StoreInterface::isType()` to your
implementation.

### Validation

If you have your own validation error factory implementation, you will need to add
`Contracts\Validators\ValidatorErrorFactoryInterface::relationshipUnknownType()` to your implementation.

## v0.5 to v0.6

### Api

#### Api Factory

The `createApi` method signature on the `Contracts\Http\ApiFactoryInterface` has changed so that it only receives
the API namespace and the HTTP schema/host as the provided arguments. Configuration arrays can be injected into the
actual API factory instance using the `Http\ApiFactory::configure()` method.

#### Api Instance

The `ApiInterface` has been updated so that an API returns a HTTP factory, request interpreter and a store instance.
This allows applications with multiple APIs to define a store different stores and request settings on
a per-API basis. If you are implementing this interface anywhere you will need to update it
accordingly.

At the moment the `ApiFactory` included within this library injects that same request interpreter and
store into each API it builds, but our future intention is to make these injections configurable on
a per-API basis.

### Authorizers

The method signatures of `AuthorizerInterface::canUpdate()` and `canModifyRelationship()` have changed. `canUpdate`
now also received the resource provided by the client, and `canModifyRelationship` receives the relationship provided
by the client.

If you've implemented the interface yourself, you'll need to update your implementations. We've updated
this package's `AbstractAuthorizer` to reflect this change, however you will need to implement `canModifyRelationship`
yourself in any child classes.

`AbstractAuthorizer` now has an `ErrorRepositoryInterface` instance injected via its constructor. If you are extending
this class and overloading the constructor, you will need to update your constructor to ensure the parent constructor
is called.

### Exceptions

All internal package exceptions have been consolidated into a single class: `Exceptions\RuntimeException`. This
means we have removed the following classes:

- `Exceptions\DocumentException`
- `Exceptions\HydratorException`
- `Exceptions\RepositoryException`
- `Exceptions\SchemaException`
- `Exceptions\StoreException`

### Objects

If you have implemented the following interfaces any where, you will need to make the changes described below:

#### DocumentInterface

`getData()` must now return an object, array or null as these are the return types defined in the JSON API spec.

You need to add a `getResources()` method that returns a `ResourceCollectionInterface` object if the data member is
an array.

#### ResourceIdentifierInterface

You need to add a `toString()` method to cast the identifier to a string. You must also add an `isSame()` method
that takes a resource identifier as its argument and returns `true` if this is logically the same as the identifier
on which the method is invoked.

### Requests

We've added a suite of request classes for processing incoming JSON API requests. The following interface and class
have been removed:

- `CloudCreativity\JsonApi\Contracts\Http\ContentNegotiatorInterface`
- `CloudCreativity\JsonApi\Http\ContentNegotiator`

You should use the `CloudCreativity\JsonApi\Contracts\Http\Requests\RequestFactoryInterface` instead. This package
supplied `CloudCreativity\JsonApi\Http\Requests\RequestFactoryInterface` as the default implementation.

### Responses

The `ErrorResponsesInterface` has been moved to the `Contracts\Http\Responses` namespace. The `ErrorResponse` object
has been moved to the `Http\Responses` namespace.

### Validation: Factory

If you are implementing the `ValidatorFactoryInterface`, you need to make the following changes:

- The argument for `resourceDocument` is now optional.
- The argument for `relationshipDocument()` is now optional.
- The `$expectedType` argument for `resource()` is now optional.
- You need to add the `relationship()` method and return a validator that validates either a has-one or a has-many
relationship. Use the new `RelationshipValidator` class if needed.

### Validation: Providers

The method signatures on `ValidatorProviderInterface` have changed and a new method `resource()` has been added. Refer
to the interface for details.

If you are implementing this interface you will need to update your method signatures.

Note that the interface now requires the resource type to be provided in the method signatures. This is so that the
method signatures match the information that would be known from a request (they can be obtained from the URL). This
does not stop you implementing a validator provider for each resource type, however it means that a validator
provider can be used across multiple resource types if needed.

### Validation: Relationships

The following changes are unlikely to affect most applications. Only applications that have extended validator
classes provided by this package or created their own implementations may be affected:

- `AcceptRelatedResourceInterface` may now return an `ErrorInterface` or `ErrorCollection` object instead of
a boolean. You'll need to update any validators that consume this interface to support these return types in
addition to a `boolean`.
- `ValidatorErrorFactoryInterface::relationshipNotAcceptable()` now takes a third argument (the custom
error) and must return an `ErrorCollection` instance.
- Internal methods within `AbstractRelationshipValidator`, `HasOneValidator` and `HasManyValidator` have been
re-organised to move all the validation logic into the abstract class. You will need to make changes to any validators
that extend these classes.

## v0.4 to v0.5

We decided to refactor the package, so there are a substantial amount of changes between these two versions. We
appreciate this will require some work for you to re-wire your implementations. However, the refactoring we've
done is based on us using the package in multiple production systems and represents a significant improvement
in the construction and extensibility of this package. We won't be refactoring again and we are planning on only
minor adjustments before hitting v1.0 of this package.

Note that some breaking changes were also made because the underlying `neomerx/json-api` package was upgraded from
`v0.6.6` to `v0.8.0`.
[You may need to refer to these notes.](https://github.com/neomerx/json-api/wiki/Upgrade-Notes)

Below is a brief summary of the main changes. If you're having problems working out how to upgrade, please submit an
issue with code examples and we'll help you out.

### Framework Integration

We have removed the abstracted framework integration interfaces classes that were in the following namespaces:
- `CloudCreativity\JsonApi\Contracts\Integration`
- `CloudCreativity\JsonApi\Integration`

These overcomplicated framework integration. Each integration package should write its own integration services
that integrate with how the specific framework delivers services. We see this as advantageous because you can
write the integration in the *style* of the framework you're integrating with.

### Error Handling

The underlying `neomerx/json-api` package made substantial changes to error handling - for instance it removed
Exception renderers and introduced throwing JSON API errors via a `JsonApiException` instance.

We've kept our approach of being able to construct errors from config arrays, as this is how we prefer to define
errors within an application instance. We've made some changes to our Error object -
`CloudCreativity\JsonApi\Document\Error` which implements
`CloudCreativity\JsonApi\Contracts\Document\MutableErrorInterface` to indicate that it is an error that has setters.

You can find an example of error configuration in the [validation error configuration file](config/validation.php)
You should use this file as the starting point for your error configuration in your application - it defines the
errors that the validators provided by this package will produce.

Your error configuration should be loaded into an instance of `CloudCreativity\JsonApi\Repositories\ErrorRepository`.
This is the service that is used to create errors from array config. Our approach is to implement this as a service
because this allows things such as translation to occur via this service if required.

### Validators

Our validator interfaces are now in the `CloudCreativity\JsonApi\Contracts\Validators` namespace, and default
instances are in the `CloudCreativity\JsonApi\Validators` namespace.

Previously we had a single validator interface. We now have a validator interface for each 'leaf' in the document
that is being validated. We found this is a better approach that allows each validator to be specific about which
part of the document it is validating.

In the validators namespace you'll find a `ValidatorFactory` class that implements the `ValidatorFactoryInterface`
interface. This factory can be used as a service to build the default validators that come with this package.

We've also introduced a `ValidatorProviderInterface`. The concept is that each JSON API resource type in your
application would have a validator provider instance that can provide your controller with the validators that
are specific for that resource type. We've moved to this approach because it allows us to unitize the
creation of resource specific validators, reducing the complexity of our controller code.

### Store

We've introduced a 'store' defined via the `CloudCreativity\JsonApi\Contracts\Store\StoreInterface`. This is a simple
interface to allow validators to check that a resource type/id combination exists.

A default store implementation is provided at `CloudCreativity\JsonApi\Store\Store`. To get this working, you need to
inject it with adapters - `CloudCreativity\JsonApi\Contracts\Store\AdapterInterface`. Adapters look up a type/id to
see if it exists and return the domain object that it refers to. Your adapters might be able to look up multiple JSON
API resource types, or you could have an adapter per type - or a combination of the two. E.g. in Laravel we have a
single adapter that can look up Eloquent models, and inject additional adapters that look up a few other resource
types that are not Eloquent models.

Your adapter tells the store whether it is handles a specified resource type via the `recognises()` method - refer
to the interface for details.

Vera and her sisters are so adorable. It's funny, I've never been all that attracted to Tonner's wide eyed dolls. But the way you photograph them and the settings you put them in, make them come alive! I think it's also the choice of clothing which is amazing!
Thank you, April! Nice comments!
I know what you mean about these McCall dolls. It took a while for me to warm to them myself. But after all my research, and desire to gather different designers, I jumped at these three, together on eBay (I was keeping an eye open after I understood the interesting history of these dolls). They were available for less than one vintage Betsy! And when they arrived...so sweet, all three!
And their Tonner clothes are wonderful!


American tourist Kurt Cochran pushed his wife out of harm's way, the inquest heard.
The first victim of the Westminster terror attack died as Big Ben chimed, after he stepped in heroically to save his wife.
American tourist Kurt Cochran, 54, had been on a whistlestop tour of London with his wife Melissa when they were both struck by a car on Westminster Bridge.
Mr Cochran pushed his wife away, bearing the full impact of Khalid Masood's hired Hyundai Tucson, sending him flying over the balustrade and on to the embankment below.
He had suffered terrible injuries and was pronounced dead 17 minutes after a paramedic arrived as Big Ben struck 3pm, an Old Bailey inquest heard.
Giving evidence, Mrs Cochran told how she and her husband had been visiting London from the US as part of a tour of Europe for their wedding anniversary.
On March 22 last year they had visited a number of tourist attractions, ending up at Westminster Abbey.
She said: "My next recollection, after I read some of the witness statements, I remember hearing a car revving.
Kylie Smith, a teacher who was accompanying a group of teenage schoolchildren on a trip to London that day, said Masood had deliberately targeted Mr Cochran as he stood by a souvenir stand on the bridge.
Neil Hulbert and his nephew had been strolling along the South Bank after a trip on the London Eye when they heard an "almighty crash".
Mr Hulbert described Mr Cochran "flying through the air" over the balustrade of Westminster Bridge, landing two or three metres away from him.
First aider Mr Hulbert said he knelt down by the unconscious man while someone else called 999.
He noticed Mr Cochran had "laboured" breathing, had broken his legs and was bleeding from a head injury and through his nostrils.
Paramedic James Richards described how Kurt Cochran died at 3pm, 17 minutes after he arrived at the scene.
On arriving within minutes of the attack, he said: "Initially we saw several abandoned vehicles, many people moving in different directions, casualties around clearly injured, generally a scene of chaos.
"I was informed that someone had gone over the edge of the bridge and on to the embankment below.
At first he had "rasping" breath but his condition deteriorated in the 17 minutes the paramedic was there.
Mr Cochran was pronounced dead as Big Ben struck 3pm and Mr Richards was instructed to move on and treat more casualties.
Retired window cleaner Leslie Rhodes, 75, was the second pedestrian to be knocked down on the bridge, 22 metres away from Mr Cochran.
Dr Gareth Lloyd, who was passing at the time, stepped in to help and stayed with the stricken pensioner when he was taken to hospital.
He told the inquest Mr Rhodes' injuries were "unsurvivable".
In the space of 82 seconds Masood, 52, killed four pedestrians including Aysha Frade, 44, and Andreea Cristea, 31, before stabbing Pc Keith Palmer to death at the gates to the Palace of Westminster.

This has been a turbulent two weeks. One's attitudes have oscillated through anger and despair to a glimpse of hope and ended with renewed confidence in Obama's values and intentions. What a time for Australia to be chairing the Security Council! My impression is that our diplomats are working with professional skill, commitment to the rule of law and to peaceful conflict resolution.
In 1999 my 22-year-old daughter sustained a head injury in a motor vehicle accident. She now contends with the use of only one normally functioning limb amid multiple disabilities. The 'support' provided by family carers is said to save the nation billions of dollars annually. But carers give much more than support.
Mars-sunset eyes deep sunk, prune wrinkled hide, cheek bones protruding like clenched fists, hovers above the bed of respite. In the silence, this fellow-feeling fissures the lines of my ordinary features.
The effectively deadlocked Israeli election outcome reflects a contradiction between philosophy and action: most Israelis are willing to consider two states in principle, yet they have been debating the same political issues for 20 years with no concrete outcome. Some form of long-term international intervention may be necessary to overcome the deadlock.
If Pakistan is to remain a nation with something resembling life and soul, it must protect its minorities. But instead, as with India, it is quietly eviscerating them. It isn't just extremists engaging in the self-harm, it happens at all levels of society. Before long the nation may find itself bleeding to death.

What happens when you combine alcohol consumption, stress, real time and a live publishing platform that's unmediated?' Journalist, academic and 'furious citizen' Julie Posetti discusses the pros and cons of the Twitterisation of journalism.
The Olympic Games see many thousands of mainly young athletes from all around the world competing for a hundred or so medals. So the point of the exercise can't be to win. It is to lose. Or rather the Games are a school for learning how to lose and so grow in humanity.

Peerages Awarded to Former Prime Ministers: 1902–2019
Published Friday, 13 December, 2019

This House of Lords Library briefing lists former prime ministers who have held office since 1902, together with information on whether the individuals received a peerage after leaving the House of Commons.
Peerages Awarded to Former Prime Ministers: 1902–2019 (50 KB, Excel Spreadsheet)
Download full report Download 'Peerages Awarded to Former Prime Ministers: 1902–2019' report (50 KB, Excel Spreadsheet)
Of the 22 former prime ministers who have served since 1902, half (11) received a peerage entitling membership of the House of Lords after departing the House of Commons.
Of the 11 former prime ministers to have received a peerage, 7 received a hereditary earldom. However, this practice has fallen into disuse in recent decades. Harold Macmillan, who served as prime minister between 1957 and 1963, was the last former prime minister to receive an earldom. He became the Earl of Stockton in 1984. Since 1999, a hereditary earldom has not automatically entitled the bearer to a seat in the House of Lords.
The remaining 4 received life peerages under the Life Peerages Act 1958. Sir Alec Douglas-Home, who served as prime minister between 1963 and 1964, was the first former prime minister to receive a life peerage. He was created Lord Home of the Hirsel in 1974, having disclaimed a hereditary earldom previously.
The most recent former prime minister to receive a peerage was Margaret Thatcher. Her life peerage was conferred in 1992, after which she was known as Baroness Thatcher.
Of the 5 former prime ministers to have served since Margaret Thatcher left office, none has received a peerage. Theresa May remains an MP in the House of Commons.
Judicial review: Time for change?

Following the Government's announcement of an independent review that will consider if judicial review reform is needed, this article looks at what judicial review is, and recent debates about whether the process is working.
House of Lords: Largest Votes Recorded
What have been the largest ever votes in the House of Lords? This briefing provides a list of divisions since 1999 where 500 or more Members have voted.
Lords public bill stages: "That this bill do now pass"
The motion "that this bill do now pass" is moved immediately after a bill's final stage in the House of Lords (known as third reading). It is amendable and so provides an opportunity for the House to oppose, delay or record a view on a measure if there is enough support. This article provides examples of amendments to the motion and what the outcome was each time.

US: Flight Departures Resume After Overnight System Outage
New Delhi: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) removed its order to halt all domestic aircraft departures across the United States on Wednesday after restoring the system that provides pilots with pre-flight safety notices, CNN reported.
The overnight outage caused widespread inconvenience, with thousands of flights throughout the country delayed. The US regulatory body, FAA had put a ground stop order in place after its NOTAM — or Notice to Air Missions — system failed. The FAA lifted the order shortly before 9 a.m.(local time) and the agency said normal air traffic operations have resumed across the country. It said it was still trying to determine the cause of the problem, according to CNN.
Earlier, the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) informed all flight operators about the airspace system failure, as all flights across US were grounded after a technical glitch in the computer system of the FAA.
"The FAA is working to restore its Notice to Air Missions System. We are performing final validation checks and reloading the system now," FAA said
India's biggest wide-body airline Air India is the only airline that operates a maximum number of US-bound flights that may have been affected as a result of the technical glitch.
"We are aware of the snag in the US and we are in touch with the concerned authority," an Air India official said.
"Air India's around 56 flights operate to the US in a week," the official added.
As per the report, over 400 flights were delayed within, into, or out of the United States as of now and more will be affected.
US-based United air said in a statement, "The FAA system that sends out important real-time flight hazards & restrictions to all commercial airline pilots – Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) – is currently suffering a nationwide outage. United has temporarily delayed all domestic flights and will issue an update when we learn more from the FAA."
Air India on Wednesday said that it is in touch with the relevant authority after flights across the US were grounded due to a technical glitch in the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) computer system.
According to media reports, the flights that were severely impacted were within, into, and out of the United States.
Operations are normal at all the airports in India and as of now there is no impact on flights from India to the US amid a glitch in US Federal Aviation Administration's system, said a senior DGCA official.
However, India-US flights were not impacted due to a glitch in the computer system of the US regulatory body, FAA.

Billed as a celebration of European culture, Euro-Fest 2003 offered Sacramentans the opportunity to get in touch with their inner racist
By Stephen James
Fashions on display at Sacramento's Euro-Fest 2003 ranged from von Trapp-style traditional garb to the ever-popular David Duke T-shirt.
Photo By Stephen James
It all seemed so normal at first: Joggers and dog walkers circled the duck pond and tennis courts of McKinley Park, as the community center slowly filled with folks who had come out on a brisk evening last month for Euro-Fest 2003. Several families arrived in quaint, themed costumes, with the kids dressed up in traditional European garb reminiscent of a performance by the singing von Trapp family in The Sound of Music. Many adults were dressed in semi-formal attire, with several men in coats and ties, while others accessorized less formal ensembles with regulation Doc Marten boots.
Inside, the hall furnishings and layout suggested a hybrid event: part Oktoberfest fund-raiser complete with raffle, part elementary school open house and part flea market. The center of the room was occupied by a dozen buffet-sized tables, each seating 12, covered with a white tablecloth and finished with long strings of fall-colored silk flowers laid down the middle. Along one side wall hung the flags and coats of arms from assorted European countries and clans, while classroom-like educational displays were carefully arranged on tables. Colored maps were cut and pasted onto foldout poster board, which also contained clippings about each country's history, heritage and population.
Along the opposite wall, vendors offered an eclectic selection of wares along a half dozen tables arranged end to end. At one end, the Celtic music band Molly's Revenge sold compact discs and T-shirts. At the other, folks could purchase lingerie monogrammed with the logo of the National Alliance and other symbols associated with either white-supremacist organizations or modern pagan religions, depending on the customer's point of reference. At still another table waited copies of The Turner Diaries, a Confederate flag and a T-shirt that said "STOP IMMIGRATION." One Euro-Fest patron browsing the merchandise wore a shirt with his own message of choice displayed in bold type: "DAVID DUKE U.S. SENATE."
But it was the center table, the one offering a variety of free one-page leaflets, on which the most extreme viewpoints were found. Each espoused a similar central theme: The Jewish-controlled media is responsible for not informing the American public that, as one leaflet put it, "black savages are flooding in from Africa … and will spread the HIV virus to every corner of America, reproduce like cockroaches and bring murder, rape and robbery to every community in which they are placed." A Zionist-initiated master plan, the fliers declared, was devised because "the Jews want as many non-Whites as possible mixed in with the white population as quickly as possible. … They believe that once they have done that, it will be too difficult a task for us to un-mix what they have mixed."
Children take in the sights and sounds of Euro-Fest 2003.
The recommended solution to this problem was, among other things, to embrace the information age. "Turn off your TV, cancel your newspaper and magazine subscriptions and get on the Internet! The Internet is the only form of mass-communication not under Jewish control," wrote a nameless author. The reader also was encouraged to take a stand against this state of affairs by joining the National Alliance, "America's foremost patriotic organization."
Whether or not the Alliance is America's foremost patriotic organization is subject to debate. But the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), an anti-Semitism, anti-bigotry organization, has called the National Alliance the largest, most organized and most dangerous neo-Nazi organization in the nation. The ADL estimates that the Alliance has 16 active cells in the United States, and the ADL has tracked evidence of Alliance activity in 26 states. The Sacramento Euro-Fest was promoted on the home page of the National Alliance Web site.
On the stage at the far end of the hall, Molly's Revenge played traditional Celtic music and songs for a crowd of about 100 people. The scent of the advertised "fine European cuisine" being prepared in the facility kitchen wafted through the air, European beers were served, and the first speaker of the evening was introduced. As the band left the stage, Peter Morell gave his lecture titled "The Fruits of Our Labor" and projected PowerPoint slides onto a large screen behind him.
While images of European works of art and ancient aqueducts illuminated the screen, Morell, dressed in a dark suit and tie, read from a prepared script, stiffly reciting the accomplishments of the white race throughout the ages. Many in the crowd, previously attentive yet passive, rose to their feet when the screen lit up with a photo of Henry Ford, whose authorship of The International Jew cemented his place in the annals of anti-Semitism.
Jim Silva followed with a brief lecture on Norse sagas. Silva is an Odinist—a follower of a pre-Christian religion of northern European Germanic peoples. Most National Alliance members and associates reject Judeo-Christian religious doctrines and identify with, or actively practice, the earlier polytheistic religions of Europe. The Alliance logo, which resembles an inverted peace sign without the circle, is derived from the same symbol, known as a Yggdrasil, from Norse mythology. Silva concluded his presentation by summarizing the two most common themes in Norse sagas: Love triangles lead to strife and death, and excessive pride often results in catastrophe. The irony of the latter message was apparently lost on the white-pride advocates in attendance.
National Alliance leaflets like this one were distributed alongside Confederate flags and white-supremacist themed lingerie at the Euro-Fest merchandising tables.
Taunted by the escalating aromas emanating from the back of the room as the buffet was being set up, the group began to grow restless as the final speaker, Dr. Tomislav Sunic, presented the keynote address, "Europe Under Attack: From the Early Islamic Onslaught to Communist Disaster." Based in Croatia, Sunic was in the states on a speaking tour. Formerly a Croat diplomat and professor of political philosophy at three U.S. colleges, including California State University at Fullerton, Sunic brought the event an air of credibility. And, though it was clear that Sunic didn't necessarily endorse the bulk of the extremist agenda of the National Alliance, the writer and philosopher did make some parallel observations, claiming the European race was being diluted by excessive immigration and that the terrorism problem in Europe could be traced to immigration. "Those foreign alien hordes have driven a wedge into the European core," Sunic concluded.
After dinner was served, the crowd cooled off to the music of white-pride folk singer Eric Owens and to a raffle of door prizes that included CDs of German, Irish and French folk songs; a Confederate flag; and a replica of a Viking sword.
The local contact for Euro-Fest 2003, Drahomir Stojkovic, declined to answer questions about the event and referred all queries to National Alliance Western States coordinator Shaun Walker. Walker, who is based in Salt Lake City and has a wife in Sacramento, confirmed that the Alliance coordinated and promoted the event but declined to provide contact information for local participants. Walker explained that Alliance members and affiliates try to protect their privacy and generally are discouraged by the organization from talking with the media.
"No offense," said Walker, "but we've kind of not had the best media in the past."
In addition to organizing events like Euro-Fest, Walker said that the group also holds meetings and distributes leaflets door to door. "We do thousands of fliers [and] the most efficient way, time-wise, is to go through the neighborhood and throw them on lawns or up on the porch." Walker expressed concern, however, that free-speech rights in some cities are being constrained by local ordinances prohibiting leafleting in parking lots. Local African-American and Jewish leaders say they generally support the free-speech rights of the National Alliance, even if, as Rabbi Yossi Etz-Hasadeh of the Kenesset Israel Torah Center in Sacramento puts it, their claims are "nonsense." Likewise, David DeLuz, president of the Sacramento chapter of the NAACP, has no problem with any group assembling and expressing an opinion, though there's one caveat: "Our concern about groups like the National Alliance is when their ideas cross the boundary from ideas into action."
The members of Molly's Revenge packed up their instruments and have since said farewell to what was one of the stranger events in their career. Indeed, the final irony of Sacramento Euro-Fest 2003 is that the event's organizers never realized the group's own heritage.
The Santa Cruz-based Celtic band is used to performing on the California Highland Games circuit, including the largest such event in the country, which is held annually at the Alameda County Fairgrounds. Band leader Pete Haworth said that when members were hired to play at Euro-Fest, they were told the function would be a "celebration of European culture, and they'd have some dancers and other performers and a philosopher speaking." They were unaware of the veiled agenda behind the event.
On the day of the function, they arrived at the hall early to set up the sound system. Haworth's wife was setting up a table to sell band CDs and T-shirts, when she noticed the items being offered by the vendors at other tables. "She realized pretty early on and passed on to me what it was all about," Haworth explained. "It was quite a shock to us." Haworth and his wife were especially concerned with how a bandmate would react. "One of the guys in our band is actually Jewish, so it was a little bit awkward for us, but he took it pretty well. We just kept to ourselves, played what we wanted to play and left." Born and raised in England, Haworth is polite and understated, but he conveyed the impression that it's unlikely Molly's Revenge will play at another Alliance event. "I'm all for people having their own beliefs," said Haworth. "But I don't particularly want to be associated with them."

Special Features A Life in the Theatre: Anne Cattaneo Meet dramaturg Anne Cattaneo, a gatekeeper for matters literary at Lincoln Center Theater.
By Mervyn Rothstein
Anne Cattaneo Photo by Paul Kolnik
"All of us who work in the theatre are members of a tribe," Anne Cattaneo says. "And you know you're in that tribe because at some point in your life you enter a dark theatre and see a ghost light" — the lamp that's left burning onstage all night — "and something in your life changes. You feel you've come home, and you belong there."
For the last two decades, Cattaneo has been the dramaturg, or literary manager, at Lincoln Center Theater. She is also the creator and head of the Lincoln Center Theater Directors' Lab and has worked widely as a dramaturg on classical plays with directors like James Lapine, Robert Wilson, Jack O'Brien, Robert Falls and Mark Lamos. Her many Lincoln Center Theater credits include Tom Stoppard's Tony-winning The Coast of Utopia, Wendy Wasserstein's The Sisters Rosensweig, the Tony-winning revival of The Heiress and John Guare's Six Degrees of Separation.
The feeling of belonging, of wanting to make theatre her career, came when she was in her early 20s, after she had already dipped her toes into the stage life. "I grew up in a family of scientists in California, and my interest in theatre began by going to it. I was employed for the first time at the American Conservatory Theatre," William Ball's legendary San Francisco company, "and going into the Geary Theatre and seeing that ghost light, it suddenly hit me that that's what I wanted to do."
It was the beginning of the '70s, she said, "and I was very fortunate to be in the San Francisco Bay area at a really important time in theatre." In addition to the A.C.T., a great deal of experimental theatre was happening — the Living Theatre tour, the Bread and Puppet Theatre. "It was a heady moment when theatre was playing an important social as well as an artistic role." She knew she didn't want to act, and she had also been writing criticism for an underground paper with headquarters in a commune. "They would say, 'Who's this guy Molière?' I would say he was a revolutionary man, he was against the king — the king banned him. They would say, 'O.K., we'll print the review.'"
She was working for Ed Hastings, the A.C.T.'s associate artistic director. He wrote a recommendation for her to the Yale School of Drama, where she specialized in criticism. After Yale she spent several years teaching theatre at a small college in Westchester, but then realized that "if I didn't leave academia, I would stay in it forever.
"And then I was lucky enough to be offered a job as literary manager at the great Phoenix Theatre with T. Edward Hambleton. It was the second day of rehearsal of Uncommon Women and Others by Wendy Wasserstein, whom I had known a bit at Yale. When I walked into the rehearsal, she turned to me and said, 'Oh, thank God you're here.'" Wasserstein was to become "one of my greatest friends. We worked on many plays together."
Cattaneo thanks the New York City subway system for the key role it played in her getting a job at Lincoln Center Theater. "After the Phoenix, I worked at a number of theatres and did a lot of freelancing. I was hired by Second Stage as a dramaturg. It's now quite established, but then it was a very scrappy organization. The staff numbered about six. We had a little crisis moment — they said we have to get more subscribers, we need to pass out brochures. We just need help — there's no money."
So Cattaneo said she would take some brochures and stand at a subway station entrance and hand them out for a half hour on her way home. "I was standing at the 72nd Street and Broadway station, though it was strictly speaking not my job. And up the subway steps came Gregory Mosher, who was getting off the subway because he had just been hired to run Lincoln Center Theater. I had met Gregory before, but I didn't know him very well. He said, 'Oh, my God, you're passing out brochures.' I said, 'Oh, I'm just helping out.' He said, 'Come see me, I want you to come work for me.' That's how I got the job."
These days at Lincoln Center Theater, under artistic director André Bishop, just exactly what does her job as dramaturg — or literary manager — consist of? "The closest job that many people know is in publishing," Cattaneo says. "I'm like an acquisitions editor. I pay attention to all things literary. My main job is to read the plays that come in to Lincoln Center and to advocate what plays we should be producing." In addition, with John Guare she edits the Lincoln Center Theater Review, a literary magazine the theatre publishes.
And she works on helping actors with historical research on their plays and their roles. With last season's Coast of Utopia, "I spent a month before rehearsals working with the leading actors to give them information I discovered about the historical characters they played. I became an expert on Russian 19th century history, and found all kinds of unpublished and hidden things which I gave to the actors."
On this season's Cymbeline, she looked at the text and prepared necessary cuts, "and I looked at past productions of the play and what their takes on it were."
Cattaneo says she has "the best job in the theatre. Because I can live always in art." She doesn't have to worry about problems like raising funds — "I'm just behind the scenes. I can work with people I love on wonderful projects."
For the future, Cattaneo says, she is "devoted to" her Theater Directors' Lab. "It's a working environment under the aegis of the theatre for young professional directors, free of charge. We bring in about 80 directors from all over the world." The program also involves young playwrights and designers.
"Some of the best directors working now are having trouble getting jobs in large theatres, for very good reasons," she says. "It's hard to take a chance on a new director." And that's why, she says, "my dream would be to extend and expand their work at Lincoln Center Theater."

Jordi Cañas Pérez (Barcelona, 12 de desembre de 1969) és un polític català. Fou escollit com un dels tres diputats que va treure Ciutadans al Parlament de Catalunya a les eleccions al Parlament de Catalunya de 2010.

El 21 de desembre de 2012 va exclamar al Parlament de Catalunya "¡Qué lástima!" ("Quina llàstima!") quan el portaveu de la CUP, David Fernàndez, recordava en el seu discurs que la cultura catalana havia sobreviscut a Franco i Espartero. Cañas va aclarir que es referia a la consideració de l'estat franquista com a estat de dret i que els seus avantpassats eren republicans.

El gener de 2014 es fa públic que el Tribunal Superior de Justícia de Catalunya (TSJC) investigava Cañas per estar presumptament implicat en un frau de 429.203 euros el 2005. Cañas va dimitir com a portaveu parlamentari, i un cop imputat, com a diputat del Parlament.

El 2015 es va oposar al gir liberal de Cs cap a la dreta emprès en la IV Assemblea del partit.

Al febrer de 2018 el TSJC va absoldre Cañas del delicte de frau fiscal que se li imputava.

OME Electric Motors produces a range of motors (from asynchronous to permanent magnet) and generators which are supplied to different countries globally. The fact that such developed countries as Germany and the USA are among OME Motors customers proves high quality of the products. The range of products includes pump motors and generators therefore the guests were interested in manufacture of related products at CHEAZ. CHEAZ has a high level of competence in manufacture of motors and frequency converters and it is a full-scale research and production complex. Technical capabilities starting from metalwork and to creation of intelligent devices were presented during a tour of factory facilities.
«I'm impressed by the size of the factory, the quality of the products and turnkey solutions for major customers. I didn't think that there are such factories in Russia and I'm quite impressed».
Foreign partners consider CHEAZ potential and its position on the market of electrical engineering as a great opportunity to start collaboration and find new markets. Following negotiations which lasted several months and today's meeting, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed.

We dive into the mystical world of the karst underground. Paved paths and stairs lead us to three explored cave halls for a total distance of 1200 meters. The path we can go leads to a depth of about 40 meters.
Nearby is the forest park Golubinjak. Beech, fir and spruce trees, sometimes over 35 m high, on the basis of huge limestone rocks, give this area the characteristics of a Special Protection Area of forest vegetation.
Golubinjak is ideal for enjoying and relaxing in nature, active visitors have numerous hiking trails.
Numerous establishments take care of the gastronomic offer, with an enchanting view of the lakes.
After lunch we drive to the nature house "Kotač" which is only 5 minute drive away. Here we treat ourselves with a tasting of homemade medicinal liqueurs made from various plants.

Day 5Wednesday: Split - wine tour of Split
Split is the second-largest city in Croatia and the largest Dalmatian city.
Diocletian's Palace and the entire historical core of Split have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979, not only because of the exceptional preservation of the palace itself, but also because the palace and its city continue to live to the fullest. Historical layers from ancient Rome through the Middle Ages to the present day. Strolling through the ancient city you can travel through time, top examples of ancient architecture such as the peristyle, mediaeval Romanesque churches and Gothic palaces, Renaissance portals of noble houses, baroque facades to modern architecture…
Split is much more than a magnificent architectural backdrop. It is a city where you can enjoy top gastronomy and wines.
So we explore the city on a walking tour of Split with wine tasting and Dalmatian delicacies.
Day 6Thursday: Split – Šibenik – Krka National Park – Split
Breakfast, Split – Šibenik 1 h 20 min, 72 km
The city of Šibenik is located in central Dalmatia, where the Krka River flows into the Adriatic Sea. Šibenik was mentioned in 1066 (under its most important name) in a charter of Croatian king Petar Kresimir IV.
For this reason the city is also "Krešimirov grad" (Kresimir City).
Šibenik is the only city in Croatia with two UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the Cathedral of St. James and the Feast of St. Nicholas.
Cathedral of Saint James – an important combination of Gothic & Renaissance styles.
It is the only church in Europe built in stone, without any other material whatsoever. It is also fascinating for the series of 71 realistic sculptural portraits surrounding the apse.
The Fortress of St. Nicholas is at the entrance to the port of Šibenik and was built in the 16th century to prevent Turkish ships from entering the port. Today it is one of the most valuable and best preserved examples of defensive architecture in Dalmatia and part of the UNESCO list since 2017.
Šibenik – Krka National Park 25 min, 20 km
For many, the most beautiful turquoise blue lines of the Dalmatian karst. The beauty of the cascade and the density, rich sound of aquatic life. In many parts of Krk the river is calm and heralds its waterfalls with "silver chains"; an ever thickening ripple of water that takes on the color of silver and the appearance of countless necklaces scattered across the river. All her silver will fall down the falls and beauty will only transform into a new form.
Easy walk, boat ride, lunch break.
In the evening return to Split, dinner and overnight.
Day 7Friday: Split, Tuheljske Toplice, wine tasting and spa afternoon
After breakfast we leave Dalmatia and drive to Tuheljske Toplice, 4 h 30 min, 443 km.
