Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電), the world's largest contract chipmaker, remains the most prestigious company in Taiwan for a 16th consecutive year, according to an annual survey released by a Chinese-language publication yesterday.
The results, released by Commonwealth Monthly in a statement, showed TSMC scored highest in all 10 criteria — including finance, long-term investment, business vision, talent cultivation and ability to innovate — that the local publication used to evaluate 217 Taiwanese enterprises.
Hon Hai Precision Industry Co (鴻海精密), the nation's largest electronics manufacturer by revenue, moved one place up to become the second-most prestigious company on the list, the magazine's poll showed, citing the company's growing customer-oriented operations.
MediaTek Inc (聯發科), the nation's biggest handset chip designer, President Chain Store Corp (統一超商) and Uni-President Enterprises Corp (統一企業), rounded out the top five.
Delta Electronics Inc (台達電), the world's No. 1 switching-power supplies maker, Asustek Computer Inc (華碩電腦), the world's No. 5 PC vendor, HTC Corp (宏達電), the world's No. 5 smartphone brand, Quanta Computer Inc (廣達電腦), the world's largest notebook PC maker, and Fubon Financial Holding Co (富邦金控) placed sixth to 10th respectively, the magazine said in the statement.
Fubon became the first financial company to enter the top 10 for five years. The magazine attributed Fubon's performance to its comprehensive operations in insurance, banking and securities, as well as its innovation and business vision.
It also suggested that the results indicate a recovery of the financial industry.
HTC remained the most prestigious company in the communications industry category, but its overall ranking among the 217 enterprises evaluated dropped to No. 8 this year from No. 2 last year.
This reflects the company's falling global market share and weakening innovation capability amid fierce competition from rivals like Apple Inc and Samsung Electronics Co over the past year.
The Commonwealth poll, which is in its 18th year, surveyed 3,072 companies and professionals from various fields between Aug. 30 and Sept. 25. A total of 22 industry categories were included in this year's survey, with four seeing changes in their respective leaders.
The survey results suggest that companies that continue expanding their businesses and creating value-added services for customers when the economic situation at home and abroad is not good stand out from their peers.
Wan Hai Lines Ltd (萬海航運), the nation's third-largest container shipping company by fleet size, for instance, replaced Evergreen Marine Corp (長榮海運), Asia's largest container shipping company, at the top of the shipping industry category, while Taiwan Mobile Corp (台灣大哥大), the nation's second-biggest telecoms operator, ousted stronger rival Chunghwa Telecom Co (中華電信) to become the most admired company in the telecom services category.
Drugmaker TTY Biopharm Co (台灣東洋藥品) also tops the biotechnology and pharmaceuticals category, replacing contact lens maker St. Shine Optical Co (精華光學), which fell to No. 4 in this category this year.
Meanwhile, Dupont Taiwan Ltd (台灣杜邦) continued to outrank Formosa Plastics Corp (台塑) this year to lead in the petrochemical industry category for a third straight year, as Formosa Plastics Group (台塑集團) is still under scrutiny following a series of safety and pollution incidents last year.

Most American voters (53%) say that Democrats in Congress have not done "enough to change President Bush's policies in Iraq." A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that just 26% hold the opposite view and believe the Democrats have done too much on Iraq. Thirteen percent (13%) say Congress has done the right amount of pushing while 8% are not sure. The survey also found that 56% would like to "remove almost all U.S. combat troops from Iraq by early 2008."Rasmussen subscribers can log in to read the rest of this article.

Lardeau & Meadow Creek
Adventure Awaits at the Far End of Kootenay Lake
The Lardeau Valley and Meadow Creek, along with Cooper Creek, Argenta and Johnson's Landing, lie at the far end of Kootenay Lake, just north of Kaslo.
The communities are home to camping, resorts, adventure seekers—anyone who loves the outdoors and being in nature. Meadow Creek itself is a small, warm community of around 200 people, with a grocery, bank, and post office.
Steeped in heritage and charm, the area is the gateway to some of the most gorgeous and remote backcountry in the world, as well as many adventures. It's the birthplace of Cat Skiing. It hosts the Lardeau River with class 2 rapids. And it provides access to the Purcell mountain range, and many glaciers and mountain lakes beyond.
Winter skiing, snowshoeing and more
Meadow Creek is the winter home for world-class Heli and Cat ski operations. White Grizzly Cat Skiing and Selkirk Snowcat Skiing both operate out of Meadow Creek, and Stellar Heli Skiing is based in nearby Kaslo. Cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and snowmobiling are also popular.
Spring, summer and fall
The warmer months bring just as much chance for adventure: white water rapids, caving, climbing and alpine hiking. Lardeau River Adventures offers extreme whitewater as well as family-friendly raft excursions.
Hiking in the area can range from a mellow nature walk along the river, to high alpine hikes such as Monica Meadows or the Jumbo hike—an eight kilometre, three hour hike with gorgeous views of the glacier at the top, and a quaint alpine cabin available for overnight stays as well. Our hiking page has more listings.
Finally, for eco-focused travellers, there are a couple of eco-tourism operators that offer guided tours and sustainable accommodation for those in search of unspoiled wilderness.

Vanessa & Ben were married at Brookfields winery in Napier last Friday. The forecast for light afternoon and evening drizzle turned into a downpour including hail so the ceremony was quickly moved indoors to the cozy and romantic cellar room. Luckily the sun came out for photos at the sound shell and beach and despite the unexpected I think they had a perfect day. I was in photographer heaven with the stunning red & black colour scheme and an fabulous, fun bridal party. It was a privilege to be part of your special day!

Leadership changes abound in storage industry
In an attempt to stimulate sales, change the corporate image or possibly raise more venture capital, storage vendors are playing executive musical chairs.
A number of storage companies have appointed new leadership to their executive ranks in recent weeks in an effort to sell more products and possibly raise more venture capital, according to experts.
Software maker Storigen Systems Inc., Lowell, Mass., announced that its board of directors has picked Dennis Hoffman to be the company's first chief executive officer. Promoted from within, the new title comes with new responsibilities for Hoffman, who was already president of the company, which he co-founded in 2000.
Prior to co-founding Storigen, Hoffman led marketing and business development for the storage and networking business at Avid Technology Inc. He was also a strategy consultant with Marakon Associates, and he started his career as an engineer at Polaroid Corp. Storigen has completed two rounds of venture capital funding and has shipped two successive versions of storage software.
Tony Prigmore, senior analyst for the Enterprise Storage Group Inc., Milford, Mass., said that the pace of change and incremental investment in management talent appears steady, despite the obvious increase in available skills.
"There are many storage companies that are getting ready to move from stealth mode to client-attraction mode, and this typically means incremental talent [increases] in sales and marketing management," Prigmore said.
He added that said changes are likely in companies that have had commercially available products for months and have not had much success.
"In these cases, we will always see replacement of managers in an effort to either execute the existing plan better or rewrite the strategy," he said.
Prigmore said that some industry veterans become board members of smaller companies to assist current or former colleagues and investors, stay active in leading edge companies and technologies, and create conduits for other potential business relationships. "All of these have [the] common thread of 'giving back' somehow," he said.
IP storage startup iStor Networks Inc., Irvine, Calif., has named Kevin Daly, CEO of Avamar Technologies Inc. and former chief technical officer for Quantum Corp., to its board of directors, as the company preps its first product. The company is about to launch a wire-speed iSCSI network storage server blade (iBlade) for IP storage. According to iStor, Daly was recruited for his technical prowess.
A big-name board appointment could also be on the way from the newly merged InfiniBand company InfiniSwitch Corp., Westborough, Mass. Terry Dickson, vice president of marketing for Lane15 and now InfiniSwitch, said the company, which merged with software maker Lane15 Software last week, could be announcing a "big-name" appointment to its board in the coming weeks.
Another reason for recruiting fresh blood for management roles is fundraising. Randy Kerns, a partner with the Evaluator Group Inc., Greenwood Village, Colo., said that changes in the board are typically done to help acquire funding. "[Venture capitalists] want either a high-profile name or a person they can trust, an insider if you will, on boards they are investing in," Kerns said.
Companies entice top executives with preferred stock options. "If the company is successful, they make a bundle," he said.
However, Kerns added, many of these high-profile names may have lofty titles in their resumes, but it's possible they've never actually developed a successful product.

Oklahoma City Council is about to vote on a proposal that would make it illegal for anyone to stand, sit, or walk on a median [the area that separates opposing lanes of traffic on divided roadways] in Oklahoma City.
INSP's street paper in the area, The Curbside Chronicle, fears that this law will stop their vendors from being able to sell the paper, thus putting the vendors' livelihoods – and the continuation of the award-winning paper – in jeopardy. INSP has written an open letter to Oklahoma City Council, urging them to reconsider this plan. You can read the letter below.
Scroll down for more information on the issue from The Curbside Chronicle's editor Ranya O'Connor.
If you would like to contact Oklahoma City Council about this issue, you can find contact details here.
12 October 2015
Dear Oklahoma City Council,
INSP (International Network of Street Papers) is concerned to hear of the proposed ordinance in Oklahoma City banning sales from the median of public streets. Our member street paper The Curbside Chronicle stands to be severely affected should this ordinance pass, as many of their vendors sell their excellent publication from your city's medians.
We urge Oklahoma City to vote against this proposition on 8 December and to recognise the pioneering work your city's street paper has done in offering support and hope to local people experiencing poverty and homelessness.
Street papers are independent publications that provide employment opportunities and social programmes for people experiencing unemployment and homelessness. Vendors buy copies of the street paper at a price of 50% (or lower) than the cover price, then sell the street papers, keeping the proceeds. In addition to employment, many INSP street papers (including The Curbside Chronicle) offer their vendors ongoing support and access to practical and social development resources and opportunities.
The 13,000 people currently selling street papers across the world are all micro-entrepreneurs, who have taken the opportunity of a viable alternative to panhandling.
INSP currently supports more than 100 street papers in some 36 countries. Street papers enable homeless and long term unemployed people to be actively employed and supported, thereby lessening their burden on the state. Many of our street papers enjoy a strong and positive partnership with their local and national governments. Working together, they have witnessed significant change and improvement in their community. Many of our members report a significant reduction in crime due to the street paper providing individuals with a legitimate source of income, as well as stability in their lives.
The Curbside Chronicle is one of INSP's newer members, but it has the makings to follow in the footsteps of established publications, such as The Big Issue in the UK, Hus Forbi in Denmark and Real Change in Seattle, and continue to develop as a powerful social business. Over the past two decades, street papers have given more than 250,000 people the means to make a legitimate income. Worldwide, street paper vendors made more than $38m in 2014.
Since The Curbside Chronicle joined INSP in 2014, we have been impressed with the creativity and innovation displayed by their dedicated team. They recently won Cover of the Year at the INSP Awards 2015, for a striking cover that addressed gang violence in America. Their work was highly praised by our panel of judges, which included: Kollin Min, senior programme officer for The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation; Mark Neil, creative director of Time Out London; Belinda Goldsmith, editor-in-chief of Thomson Reuters Foundation; and renowned photographer David Burnett.
In addition to their exceptional social impact, we strongly believe that The Curbside Chronicle is a vital independent voice in the media landscape. They are frequent contributors to our INSP News Service, which allows street papers to share content and therefore work together in a global movement against poverty.
INSP believes that Oklahoma City should be very proud to be home to such a dynamic and socially-aware paper. We urge you to do everything in your power to support The Curbside Chronicle in giving the people of your fine city the chance to access steady employment and to transition out of homelessness and into housing. Or, as many of our members like to describe their work, A Hand Up not a Hand-Out.
Yours sincerely,
Maree Aldam
INSP Chief Executive
The Curbside Chronicle editor Ranya O'Connor explains the situation in Oklahoma:
"Oklahoma City is proposing an ordinance that would make it illegal for anyone to stand, sit, or walk on a median in Oklahoma City. This is an attempt to address people panhandling in the medians in OKC.
"While Curbside vendors are not panhandlers, they too use medians to interact with motorists. Over 80% of our vendors sell from the median to motorists because OKC is very spread out with very little foot traffic. If this ordinance were to pass, our vendors would no longer be able to sell to motorists in OKC from medians and their employment with Curbside would be jeopardised. We do not have enough foot traffic to employ the growing number of vendors reliant on us for their financial needs.
"People who continue to stand and solicit from medians will be issued hefty fines up to $500 and could possibly face jail time. We do not agree with this punitive way of addressing panhandling in OKC. We believe that this ordinance criminalizes people in poverty and will not be effective. This ordinance does nothing to address the reasons why people panhandle. It merely attempts to punish people who do so while also hurting an organisation actively trying to provide a positive alternative to panhandlers through employment with Curbside.
"OKC City Council was supposed to vote on this issue on 13 October but have just pushed their vote back to 8 December.
"We have until 8 December to show OKC City Council that there are more progressive, effective, and humane ways to address panhandling in OKC.
"I know that INSP's papers speaking out about their success worldwide can definitely help us in this situation! Many cities across the U.S. right now are having to repeal laws that criminalize homelessness and poverty. The more OKC hears about this in other communities and cities, the better chance we have of defeating this ordinance."

lovely fall decor: burlap wreath tutorial12:10 PM
It's (finally) fall! ...and with fall comes all of the beautiful colors of the leaves, cool and crisp weather, and lots of home remodeling for me! Some people Spring Clean, well I prefer the fall to complete all of my remodeling projects and spruce ups.
I love getting back into decorating around this time of year, especially because I get to utilize earth tones and textures for the season. I love browns and yellows and oranges all mixed together, so last year I decided to make a burlap wreath for my front door. I coveted the ones on ETSY but knew that I could make something comparable for half of the cost (Thank you AC Moore Coupons!). Although the burlap was about $5 a roll at regular price (and the rolls were on the small size), I simply made a couple of trips for all of my supplies and had the hubby buy some with his own coupon code at the store. In addition to the ring and burlap, I found some adorable little ornaments on clearance for between $.50 to $1 each at the time. In all, I think I spent under $20 for what sells for over $40 (+shipping) online.
I had never made a wreath before, but took the blogosphere for help. I found an easy tutorial at Little Lovely Leaders that had lot of photos to guide me through the process. In all I am proud of how it came out and it held up really well so far (as it was sitting in storage since last year).
To change it up a bit during the fall I buy small wood signs with things like "Happy Fall," "Happy Halloween," and "Give Thanks" (for Thanksgiving)at the craft store and hang them in the center. This way I am able to keep it up the entire season and still add a little more decoration to the door for the holidays.
For more ideas and inspiration please visit my Pinterest page where I have many ideas for lovely fall decor

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Source: Received to Review
Genre: YA Paranormal
Book Description: Jamie Baker, the only girl in the world with superpowers, has now accepted who she is and learned to control her power. Not to mention she has the best boyfriend on the planet. Life is finally looking good. But the day she witnesses an accident and decides not to save the guy out of fear of being exposed, she realizes that simply being Jamie Baker isn't enough.
After seeing Jamie so wrecked with guilt, the ever-helpful Ryan Miller decides it's time to make all of his fantasies about turning his girlfriend into an honest-to-goodness superhero become a reality.
Of course, coming up with a decent Super Name and fending off all of Ryan's attempts to get her into spandex aren't the only problems Jamie faces. The more her alter ego starts to make headlines, the harder it becomes for Jamie to hide her extracurricular activities from her best friend, the government, radical scientists, and the mysterious new guy who is determined to steal her from her boyfriend.
My thougths: This book takes you on a roller coaster ride. There are many events that add excitement and thrill, nice easy straight ways, but different from a roller coaster, the end adds more excitement when you are ready to wind down. Major cliff hanger at the end!
I enjoyed reading about Jamie Baker and her struggle to make sense of her life. In this story, she uses her powers to help people. This makes her an even bigger target for the scientists who are after her to use her as an experiment and test subject.
Her relationship with Ryan is fun. They have a great chemistry together and I really like him as a character. A little wrench is thrown in with the introduction of a new character who would like to have Jamie for himself.
This is a great sequel. After the ending that was thrown at me, I am anxiously awaiting book 3.
Available for Kindle and Nook

Different types of rocks were banged together (a proverbially primitive activity) and the sound they made recorded, then played back 36000 times slower. Different rocks have different resonances; slowing the impact sound down brings out the different sound patterns they make, echoing the forces and time periods that form this most common place of materials. The project was inspired by a paper by Prof Shelly Saguaro,"Lithosemiotics: Stones and the semiosphere", where, drawing on the writings of, among others, Jane Bennett, Italo Calvino and Jeffrey Jerome Cohen, she discusses stones as not as inert and the antithesis of living matter, but a vital changing part of our world. This is part of the biosemiotics project that aims to see the world from outside anthropocentric human semiotics. The video was presented as part of the Biosemtiocs symposium at the University of Gloucestershire on 28th June 2016 and is part of an ongoing project by Tony Clancy on stones and cultural and other meanings.

The Helena (Montana) Independent Record published a viciously anti-Israel op-ed on Monday, August 19, by a "writer" from San Diego named Steve Kowit. Entitled "Israel no beacon of democracy diversity," it retailed the usual lies and libels: Israel treats the poor harmless Palestinians so cruelly, they are just like the Nazis. If you need to read more of this stuff, here it is.
Fortunately, our friend David Smith responded immediately, and the IR (that's the local's name for the paper) printed it at once, this Wednesday. His rebuttal, "More lies published about Israel," can be read here.
I wish every two-bit purveyor of the New Protocols of the Elders of Zion received such quick and forceful refutation.

Treworgey Luxury Cottages is a gorgeous collection of award winning, 5* cottages, overlooking the Looe River Valley, in Cornwall.
The Estate has been wonderfully restored to the very highest of standards by the Wright family and, in doing so, they have created a very special place, for both children and adults.
From catering for families with small children or couples on their honeymoon, Treworgey provides activities and facilities that are sure to exceed expectations and create long lasting memories.
We were asked to write content for a German micro-site, accessible from Treworgey's main website, in order to help promote themselves to the German market, and what better way to start the project than with a tour around the beautiful cottages and the 150 acres of breath-taking farm land, nestled in the Cornish countryside, followed by a meeting in the family kitchen. It was incredibly easy to see why guests return year after year.
We focused on creating a dedicated German page for each of their unique selling points: perfect for families with kids, a great honeymoon destination, completely dog friendly and the on-site horse riding school.
We made sure that the German content reflected the English tone of voice and the high quality of the offering. Treworgey stands out from the crowd, with its originality, its character and thoughtful touches, which we wanted to bring across in our translations.
It was important that potential guests could see that they would be extremely well catered for and looked after, whatever their individual needs. Whether they wanted to be active or restful, Treworgey would do their very best to make sure they had their best ever holiday…every time.

Anja was incredibly friendly and took a real interest in the character and feel of our business. She came to meet us and took her time to really understand what we do. We feel she made every effort to word our German pages in the same style as our English ones, and she advised us on how we might adjust the wording to be really attractive to the German market. We will definitely use her again in future.

Have you noticed the number of regionalized or small scale search marketing conferences that are popping up?Jill Whalen has been running her High Rankings Search Engine Marketing seminar for a few years now (disclosure: I am a speaker for the Mpls event and my PR agency works with Jill) that is very hands on focused. The speakers all share a very similar philosophy about search marketing so there are not the mixed messages you get at larger events.
Danny Sullivan has started his SMX event (is that name a subliminal play on Search Marketing Sex?) starting in Seattle this summer as well.
There's also Elite Retreat with a $5,000 price tag that includes: Guy Kawasaki, Aaron Wall, Lee Dodd, Darren Rowse, Jeremy Shoemaker, Kris Jones and Neil Patel. The marketing is getting slick on this one along with the all-star speaker lineup.
Today I read about seodays with Dave Naylor, Greg Boser and Jennifer Slegg which is offering one day site reviews, 2 day seminars and customized seminars. It looks like the first one will be in London or maybe somewhere in Canada.
There are many other regional seminars, but recently there have been more high profile SES/Pubcon speakers getting into the game on a smaller scale.
Are these smaller conferences/seminars competition for SES and Pubcon? Yes and no. SES runs multiple conferences world wide and I believe there will be just one Pubcon conference this year in Las Vegas. Bigger conferences are attractive to companies that want to send their people to a venue with a broader selection of topics and others enjoy them for networking and prospecting.
There's a tremendous demand for SEO/SEM education these days and staffing is an issue as well. Big conferences are useful the first 1-2 times, but after that, the information may seem redundant to more experienced search marketers. A smaller, more hands on event with legitimately top practitioners could be very appealing.
For conferences like SES and ad:tech, the speaker selection process is an interesting alchemy that uses a combination of popularity/friends/expertise and I think many repeat attendees are tired of the sales pitches and lack of practical, hands on information. Plus there's no food in the morning! 🙂
You know what's coming next right? A pitch for the Mpls seminar of course!!
Speaking of practical, hands on information, the early bird discount for the Minneapolis High Rankings Search Engine Marketing seminar ends tomorrow, 2/22/07 so get yourself registered. Be sure to use the discount code TOPRANK for another 25% off for Online Marketing Blog readers. That's about $900 for two days with some very talented SEO/PPC trainers, but only until tomorrow. After that the prices goes up.

Ohio is one of the most progressive states when it comes to surrogacy, making it a great location for us to expand to
Columbus, Ohio (PRWEB) May 16, 2016
Family Source Consultants has opened a new office location in Columbus, Ohio in the Easton Town Center. The gestational surrogacy and egg donation agency, started in Illinois in 2007, has expanded to better serve their growing number of intended parents and surrogates. The office is located at 4200 Regent Street, Suite 200, Columbus, Ohio 43219.
Family Source Consultants matches and facilitates gestational surrogacy and egg donation arrangements for those wanting to start a family. The Columbus office is the agency's fifth location throughout four states.
"We are excited to grow our presence in Columbus," said Family Source Consultants Co-Founder Staci Swiderski. "Ohio is one of the most progressive states when it comes to surrogacy, making it a great location for us to expand to."
In 2007, the Ohio Supreme Court confirmed that gestational surrogacy agreements are enforceable, according the published case law J.F.v.D.B.,879N.E.2d740 (2007). The case confirmed that gestational surrogacy is not against public policy. Additionally, in Ohio, both intended parents can declared the legal parents in a pre-birth order, even if there is no genetic link to the child.
The Columbus office will be run by Aaron Kreais, who will serve as the agency's Director of Client Development. Mr. Kreais will help educate potential Intended Parents in regards to family building via gestational surrogacy and third-party reproduction options. Mr. Kreais is a former Intended Parent with Family Source Consultants. Mr. Kreais and his husband Joshua, a former army medic, have 4-year-old boy/girl twins, Hudson and Irene. They utilized a gestational surrogate through Family Source Consultants to help build their family. Mr. Kreais is also serves on the Family Pride Network's Board of Directors.
"Family Source Consultants left such a positive lasting impression on me through my family's journey," said Aaron Kreais. "This is a great opportunity and I could not think of any career more rewarding than to help others build or start their family."

The Moors are Jewish and Muslim who lived in Morocco and Spain and accepted the Christians among them without any discrimination. They have established a heaven of knowledge that Europe could not equal at the time and made European minds to come out of the Dark Age.
My aim is to qualify awareness and value interest to make connection with historical facts and to share them as gift to enhance our common knowledge and to elevate our mutual understanding to higher level of closeness.
My sole preoccupation in writing about the contribution of the Moors in the Discovery of the Western Hemisphere is an expression of my desire and dream to bridge knowledge and make people to accept all other cultural contributions in the progress that our Humanity has recorded during the time of our ancestors.
I do the same at many level of my life and here I wanted to underline that wars and conflicts were not just the reason of contacts between civilizations of different faith or from opposite side of the shores of the same seas and oceans but their interactions have also stimulated the development of knowledge and contributed in the advance and the discovery of new elements which have emerged directly or indirectly from such encounters between the people of this world.
To enhance such heritage is important to find layers of commonalities and similarities in historical references that can serve as past example to set new platforms of harmony and acceptance among ourselves.
The following web link will you give the list of the names of the Crew of the 3 Ships sailing toward India:
The names of the Crew were introduced in the following terms: "Between 86 to 89 men accompanied Christopher Columbus on his first voyage. There were 20 on the Niña, 26 on the Pinta, and 41 on the Santa María. "
I just used few names of the Crew to show how my statement on the contribution and the presence of Moorish and Moors in the Crew is supported by facts and that effectively the Moorish have been involved directly in the Christopher Columbus Voyage.
I just took some of the names of the Crew for the reason to just shed some lights on how dark minds can not appreciate all the bright sides of the History as a treasure of all the Humanity.
The following lines here will give you the proof and let you to see the right connections between what I called a research based analysis and just the process of cut and paste from a search engine that provided knowledge that is based on fortune teller predilection - Here we go
Santa Maria: CREW Members:
See the content of this website and you will discover the descendants of the same family Torres in Morocco:
- Juan Martínes (Martínez) de Açoque : de Açoque is a Moroccan and Moorish name derived from Souk which means Market.
- Juan Medina, tailor: The Name Medina is also Moroccan that means the City.
- Diego de Salcedo, servant of Columbus
For a complete list of Moorish Names, including Salcedo that have been transliterated in Spanish and for a list of Moorish Knights who served as Personal Guards of the Kings of Castille, read the index of the following book:
Ana Echevarría, Knights on the Frontier: The Moorish Guard of the Kings of Castile (1410–1467), trans. Martin Beagles, The Medieval and Early Modern Iberian World (Boston: E. J. Brill, 2009). Pp. 377.
A Summary of the List of these Moorish Guard can be found at the following web link that show the index with the names in Moorish-Arabic and Spanish Transliteration, see the content of this website: http://goo.gl/xGQA9O
PINTA: Crew Members:
Alonso de Palos and Palos is just the Hispanic version of DELBA (Palos)
This is a Moorish Name in origin
- Pedro de Arcos, from Palos
Same as Palos: Arcos in Moorish means Roots and of real vein or noble ascendency.
- Francisco Martín Pinzón, Master
- Diego Martín Pinzón
Columbus had two captain of muslim origin during his first transatlantic voyage: Martin Alonso Pinzon was the captain of the PINTA,and his brother Vicente Yanez Pinzon was the captain of the NINA (see below here).
"They were wealthy, expert ship outfitters who helped organize the Columbus expedition and prepared the flagship, SANTA MARIA. They did this at their own expense for both commercial and political reasons. The PINZON family was related to ABUZAYAN MUHAMMAD III (1362-66 CE), the Moroccan sultan of the Marinid dynasty (1196-1465CE). (10) " end of the quote.

Sebastián Fox Morcillo was born in Seville between 1526 and 1528. Around 1548 he studied at Louvain and published commentaries on Plato and Aristotle, in which he endeavored to reconcile their teachings. His numerous works on philosophy and style brought him wide acclaim, and in 1559 he was appointed tutor to Don Carlos, son of Philip II. He did not live to assume his post, however, for he was lost at sea on his way to Spain in 1560. The following discussion is based on R. Pike, "The Converso Origin of Sebastián Fox Morcillo," Hispania, LI (Dec. 1968), 877-882.
Those who were left in Hispaniola, and perished, most of them murdered by the natives:-

An Indian chief Tiano who was being executed was about to be baptized. The priest promised him that if he did get baptized, he would go to paradise. He asked the priest:"Are there any Spaniards in your heaven?". The priest responded that only good ones go to heaven. At those words, the chief refused the baptism retorting that "even the best one of them is worth nothing; I do not want to go to any heaven where I stand to meet one"
Finally, a Moorman born in Azemmour that is less than 6 miles from my own birthplace in Morocco, has effectively explored the North and Southeast of the US and Mexico.
His real name is Mustapha and known here in the Western World as Estevanico, check his adventure at this web site:
One day in Oakland, California, I received an Anthropologist, Dr. Richard Ambro, who brought me a book on Estavanico and we discussed the impact of this explorer and I told him about the movie I watched in France, Cabeza de Vaca, where there is reference of Estebanico - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabeza_de_Vaca_(film).
This Mexican film was directed by Nicolás Echevarría. Similarly, I showed to Dr. Ambro an extract published by an African-American publication on the Scientists and Explorers of African origin that have lived during the time of Slavery in the Western Hemisphere. After we shared our sources, Dr. Ambro went to his office.
I went back to my duties and I was so absorbed by what I was doing that I did not notice the entrance and the presence of a young Man. I asked him about what was his needs, we conducted the transaction and I asked him about his name.
He said that his name was Estavanico, I dropped everything I was holding and went around the counter and I hug him and embrace him while telling him: "Welcome back to your Home, Brother." While I was this, an electric charge went from the back of my head to the bottom of my toes and the hair on my head and my body raised like if they were blown by an invisible draft of spiritual air.
The young Men has his face lightened by this sudden show of affection and just said Welcome. I explained to him the sequences of events that preceded his visit.
His response was that his roommate is named also Estavanico.
That was my spiritual encounter with Estavanico on this land where he preceded me.
Estevanico, born in Morocco, was the first known person born in Africa to have arrived in the present-day continental United States. He is known by many different names, common are Esteban de Dorantes, Estebanico and Esteban the Moor. Wikipedia

Asheville Bed and Breakfast notes the start of "Festival of Flowers"
Each year for the past 23 years,Spring has been heralded by Biltmore Estate. (Biltmore House is also fondly called by this Asheville bed and breakfast, "George Vanderbilt's 'unique, little fixer-upper'"...just kidding) From early Spring and into mid- May, Biltmore Estate celebrates with the "Festival of Flowers". And it starts this weekend!
Now if you have never seen Biltmore Estate here in Asheville, North Carolina, you are in for a varied and interesting experience...any time of year. But in the Spring, the grounds and gardens, and even the interior of the house, are filled with lovely blooms. That's no accident. About 100,000 tulip bulbs are waiting for you as well as flowering trees, followed by azaleas, then followed by rhododendrons.
Originally, George Vanderbilt purchased 125,000 acres of property next to Asheville, NC and well out into the Blue Ridge mountains. He had "purchased his view" when he built the huge chateau-style house and first lived there in the 1890s. As you might imagine, the views from the house are spectacular at any season...George Vanderbilt literally owned everything he could see, plus more. If you look out from the loggia,a porch that runs the full length of the long living room, you can see a mountain in the distance with a radio tower on it. It's Mt. Pisgah and it's miles away. George Vanderbilt also built a hunting lodge just below the summit there.
Today, Biltmore Estate still includes 8,000 acres of property...the house, pastures, wine grape vineyards, and so on. And Spring is definitely a wonderful time to see it all. Late daffodils, all those tulip varieties and other bulbs are an immense delight. Some of the gardens, including those in the Walled Garden near the house, have so many plants that it feels as if you're looking at an amazing "sea" of blossoms.This is one of those times when "bigger is better"!
It's easy to get to Biltmore from our Asheviile NC bed and breakfast. We're located just a half mile north of Downtown Asheville North Carolina and Biltmore Estate's entry is across town...about 2 1/2 miles from us on the south side of Downtown Asheville.Just a few minutes and you'll be on the Estate property.
Abbington Green Bed & Breakfast is pleased to offer a special Biltmore Estate "Two-Consecutive Day Pass" for the price of a one day ticket! You can't get this ticket at Biltmore...but you can get it at our Asheville bed and breakfast! The price is $60. per person for this adult pass and it also offers entry into the house on each of those days, if you like. the "Two-Consecutive Day Pass" offers a lot of flexibility for you about how you choose to see Biltmore. It can be two long days or breaking your visit into two "bite-size-chunks"...the choice will be yours!
We look forward to meeting you this Spring at our Asheville bed and breakfast and sharing your celebration of Biltmore Estate's "Festival of Flowers" through May 15th. See you soon!

Data Collection and Management for Assessment of Teamwork in Software Engineering Education

TH 434Time:

Professors Dragutin Petkovic and Marguerite Murphy
Surveys suggest that 10% of Software projects are abandoned, about one third fail and over half exceed their cost and schedules. One of the key reasons for this poor success rate is inadequate teamwork, communication and project organization. Therefore, there is urgent need for educators in SE to address this issue, which includes not only teaching but also assessment of students. ability to learn and apply SE teamwork which we define as their ability to adhere to SE process and produce SE products in team settings. Assessment of students. ability to learn SE teamwork has been a challenge and has been done using subjective surveys and very primitive data analysis. Faculty at San Francisco State University, jointly with Florida Atlantic University and Fulda University, Germany have been doing research in novel ways of assessment of teamwork using Machine learning (ML) to analyze extracted objective and quantitative team behavior data from joint SE classes offered at these universities. Our project contributes to this research by collecting, organizing and providing access to teamwork activity data collected in 2008 and 2010 in the form of a ML training database. This data can then be used for ML analysis to provide teamwork learning assessment. Our contributions include: collecting the teamwork behavior data from various original sources and surveys from SE classes in 2008 and 2010; designing and creating a relational DB to store the data; using SQL for extracting proper teamwork measurements; organizing the data in the form of a training DB for ML analysis; and providing WWW site for accessing the data by other researchers. In addition, we sanitized the data to ensure students. privacy.

Your star signs by Tamara: April 2012
A message for all signs: Since late March, a feeling of tension has been growing and bursts around the full moon of April 6. Life will speed up after April 4, when Mercury returns to forward motion and even more so after mid-month, when Mars does too, after its long backward trek of three months. Reflect on what situation began for you around January 23 to get a hint of what April 13 might bring for you – there's a connection. Afterwards, options seem to open up and conditions that were previously stalled or outside your control will be revived. The new moon in Taurus occurs April 21, bringing opportunities for dreams to manifest, as long as you keep them grounded.

I had given up on reading romances because they either sound a little fluffy or angry. Then along comes A Daring Contract by Kate Richards. This novella is a page turner with characters I actually love and want to know better. Her writing is believable, interesting and heart felt. Take a bad situation and flip it into an unexpected romance with a happy ending and I'm a fan forever. Must read more!!!

Desiree Din & the Red Forest
Tobhiyah collaborated with children's book illustrator and cartoonist Rod Clement to conjure the visual world for this new Australian play. White walls with illustrations by Rod Clement create a confined 'white world' which spectacularly collapses in the style of a paper pop-up book to reveal a toxic red fairy-tale forest of suspended lacquered branches in which the mutant characters of Desiree's imagination come to life.
"Playwright Maxine Mellor wrote Desiree Din as part of the Australian Theatre for Young People's Fresh Ink playwright's initiative, and is also three-time winner of Queensland Theatre Company's Young Playwright's Award and the George Landen Dann Award, and here has created a wondrous parallel universe. The set is amazing, the production is skilfully directed by Fraser Corfield, and the cast is full of fresh young faces from ATYP."

Market Value of Comon Stock
Investors are constantly concerned with the market value of a share of stock. Perceptions that a stock is rising prompts the purchase of stock while perceptions of a fall in price prompts selling. Three major market value ratios are often used to determine whether buying or selling a stock is warranted. In all three, the market price per share is compared with relevant indicators of company profitability.
P/E Ratio
The Price to Earning ratio (P/E) is calculated by dividing the market price per share of a stock by the earnings per share. The market price is simply the current price for a stock selling on a stock exchange. The earnings per share can be calculated by dividing the total earnings of a company by the total number of shares of stock outstanding. The P/E ratio is calculated as:
P/E = Market Price per Share / Earnings per Share
When the P/E/ ratio is very high it indicates that recent buyers of the stock are speculating that profits sometime in the future will be high thereby justifying a high price per share. During the late 1990s when many dot com companies began trading on the stock exchanges, their P/E ratios went into the multiple-hundreds level.
This is because it was believed by investors that the Internet with its worldwide reach would make a company very profitable. The dot com bust soon after illustrated that the high risk of the dot com companies was in line with the expected return. Unfortunately for investors of the stock, the risk did not pay off and many dot com companies went bankrupt.
Earnings Yield Ratio
One of the problems with the P/E ratio is that the ratio can be negative when earnings are negative because earnings per share are in the denominator of the ratio. Also, when earnings are low, the P/E ratio can be very large. The Earnings Yield Ratio is simply the reciprocal of the P/E ratio. It can be calculated as:
Earnings Yield = Earnings per Share / Market Price per Share
Since the market price of a share of stock is rarely very small, it will not give negative or very small results. It is, however, more difficult to interpret than its reciprocal cousin, the P/E/ ratio. Still, it represents a more stable measure of market value and remains useful regardless of earnings figures.
Dividend Yield Ratio
The Dividend Yield Ratio is a comparison of the dividends per share paid to stockholders to the market price per share of stock. It is calculated as:
Dividend Yield = Dividend per Share / Market Price per Share
Like the Earnings Yield ratio, it is a stable measure of market value. The dividends paid to stockholders are a measure of expected income if shares of stock were owned. Of course, some companies have policies never to pay dividends, choosing to reinvest earnings into further operations. Unless a company pays regular dividends, this ratio is not useful as a measure of market value.
Valuing the price of a share of stock is a method of determining a company's profitability. The principle of market efficiency states that all available information about a company is quickly represented in its price per share of stock. The market value ratios discussed here are quick glimpses into a company's worth by assuming the market price per share is an accurate measure of future profitability.

At places located at higher altitudes above sea level, certain adjustments needs to be made to retain optimum work efficiency of the furnaces. This is simply because with greater height, air density reduces and thinner air has far lesser heat transmission capacity compared to normal air.
Generally, the efficiency of all common heating equipment including furnaces, pressure cookers, ovens etc. are largely dependent on the atmospheric pressure, oxygen content and density of air. As mentioned above, thinner air carries much lesser heat and experiments have revealed that for every thousand feet height, a furnace loses around 4-5% capacity. Irrespective of the fuel you are using in your furnace ranging from natural gas to liquefied propane gas, the problem is pretty much the same for all. Apart from this, to make it even worse, the altitude significantly affects the size of the furnace as well.
Taking these impending shortcomings of traditional furnaces at higher altitudes, we at Furnace Factory Outlet; have come up with an innovative conversion kit using which furnaces can function with full efficiency almost anywhere and everywhere. Presently, we are dealing in conversion kits for both natural gas as well as LP gas furnaces. With over a decade's work experience in this sector, we have observed that most users tends to opt for the electric hanging furnaces in the higher altitudes for automatic resetting of the device to de-energize the furnace in case of overheating. Based on this client preference, we have a plethora of similar models coming in a wide range of functionalities, rates and quality.
Providing total client satisfaction has always been our sole priority and being blessed with a pool of proficient trained furnace installers and trouble shooters have helped us in our mission to provide the best quality service to our clients. We understand that due to geographical constraints, it may not always be possible for us to send a technician in person to the client's place. So, to help out every single client of ours, we have started providing online support services absolutely free through our company website at shop.thefurnaceoutlet.com. We are available round the clock and all queries related to our products posted on our website are carefully read and answered by experienced technicians.
We, at The Furnace Factory Outlet understand that budget happens to remain as one of the key priorities for every shopper. So, our sole resolution all these years have been to try and deliver the best product in minimum prize tag. Based on the features and size, the prize of our conversion kits ranges from $35-$50 which is much cheaper compared to the present market values. Still not convinced? Stop thinking and just let us be at your service for once and we bet we won't let you down.

Graffiti Artist Le Module de Zeer Transforms a Room at the Les Bains Night Club
Back in April we took a peek inside the near complete transformation by fifty street artists of the Les Bains nightclub prior to its demolition. Included in that post was an image of an incomplete work by graffiti artist Le Module de Zeer. The sprawling organic work seems to split the room in two as various forms dominate the walls, ceiling and floor. Watch the video by Yann Rineau to see the piece come together through to completion.

John Lintern made the difference for Cramlington High as the school's first XI won the NSFA Seven-a-Side Trophy.
In the preliminary leagues, the South Northumberland outfit faced their own B side and played out a 1-1 draw before defeating Royal Grammar (2-0), Monkseaton (4-1) and Walker (2-0).
Lintern struck gold for his side in both the semi-final and the final.
A 35-yard strike from the forward secured the single goal win over Kenton in the semi.
That touch of brilliance was repeated in the final, when a 30-yard shot gained the victory against St Cuthberts.
Cramlington coach Dave Paterson was thrilled with the victory.
He said: "After this win we have to be optimistic about the season ahead. Saturday proved we have a quality squad in terms of ability and depth."
The boys who notched the first trophy of the season for Cramlington were: David Cooper, Lindsey Collinson, Dan Reay, Chris Phillipson, Alex Shanks, Michael Treanor, Dan Kennerley and John Lintern.
NON Saturday the Northumberland Senior Schools League begin fixtures in two divisions.
In the Premier Division, Cramlington travel to meet Queen Elizabeth of Hexham at Tyne Green (9.45). Manager Paterson has added these names to Saturday's squad: Graeme Richmond, Paul Cotterill, Dan Barton, Matty Craig, Michael Orr, Daryl Hood, Sean Hay, Shaun Simmons, Chris Davison, Mark Grant, Karl Grainger, Sean Barker, Gary Lamb.
NWHITLEY Bay High School are the reigning league champions - but, with an opening-day derby against Monkseaton under new manager Danny Olsen, any complacency is likely to be seriously punished.
Newly-promoted Astley hope to prove their worth when they visit Heaton Manor.
Astley coach Graeme Scott guided his side on an impressive run the ESFA Colleges Cup last season and hopes to re-produce that form.
Walbottle also earned promotion last season and lok to put home advantage to full use against St Cuthberts.
A full set of fixtures are also scheduled in Division One. These are: Burnside v Churchill, Kenton v Prudhoe, Morpeth v George Stephenson, Royal Grammar `A' v St Thomas More, St Mary's v Ponteland, Walker v Royal Grammar `B'.
All matches kick off at 10.00.

Kansas City, MO
Kansas City has a distinctive art culture, from avant-garde museums to beautiful fountains and sculptures along the city streets.

From $110 a night;
What to do:
Explore the quirky masterpieces at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art (admission is free), then hit up Hallmark's Kaleidescope, a free art space where kids can go wild with Hallmark's leftover paper products, markers, and melted crayons. Afterward, take in the National WWI Museum (admission is $14 for adults, $12 for kids 6 to 17, and free for kids under 5). Be sure to climb to the top of the museum's 217-foot Memorial Tower for one of the best views of the city.

Where to stay:
The Westin Savannah Harbor Golf Resort & Spa has it all: pool, golf course, gym, even scheduled s'mores by the fire pit. Plus, from its dock you can hop on a free, scenic Savannah River ferry to the heart of the city.
From $194 a night;
What to do:

Fun places to eat:
Head to the local food vendors at St. Lawrence Market (open Tuesday to Saturday), and don't miss Carousel Bakery, where you can try the peameal bacon sandwich, made with cornmeal-coated, sweet-pickle-cured Canadian bacon—just weird enough to work! Later, for a pasta dinner that's worth the carbs and the cash, make your way to Strada 241 (entrées run about $16).

Buon appetito.

Yellowstone, WY
Two thirds of Yellowstone National Park's yearly visitors are gone by fall, so the landscape is open for exploring without the hassle of the crowds.
Where to stay:
If you're up for roughing it, check out Madison Campground, where you can pitch a tent and get cozy in your sleeping bags. If showers, sheets, and coffeemakers are more your speed, book a room at the Old Faithful Snow Lodge & Cabins, or try the Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel.
From $21 a night for camping and $123 for a room;
What to do:
Your $25 entrance fee (per vehicle) allows you access to the entire park. If you have little kids, grab a free 12-page activity booklet at any Yellowstone visitor center.

From there, get your fill of the wildlife you came to see: bison in Hayden Valley, wolves in Lamar Valley, and elk in Mammoth Hot Springs. Then drive to the Tower-Roosevelt area, where you can gape at the spectacular 132-foot Tower Fall, tucked away in a canyon.
Fun places to eat:
Enjoy a hearty breakfast at the Old Faithful Inn Dining Room. The all-you-can-eat buffet is $12.50 for adults and $6.25 for kids.

The first clip from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has finally been unveiled! Sadly, it continues no ninja or turtle action. Instead, we are introduced to Whoopi Goldberg's character Bernadette Thompson. Meet April O'Neil's boss at Channel 5 News as she receives some very disturbing information about four talking turtles roaming the streets of New York. Asking Megan Fox if there is anything else she should know about these friendly monsters, the field reporter declares, 'They're teenagers. And they do karate.'
The girl must be trippin'!
Along with this first clip comes another TV spot, offering a few quick, new action scenes along with another introduction to "the leader, the brains, the rebel and Mikey" as they hit the streets of New York looking to keep the people safe from The Foot Clan.
Darkness has settled over New York City as Shredder and his evil Foot Clan have an iron grip on everything from the police to the politicians. The future is grim until four unlikely outcast brothers rise from the sewers and discover their destiny as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The Turtles must work with fearless reporter April O'Neil and her cameraman Vern Fenwick.

Burn Artist and Blood Hound – a prequel novella and Book I of the Alexi Sokolsky: Hound of Eden Series
Genres: Action, Mafia, Magic
Burn Artist
It's 1986. Alexi Sokolsky is a 25-year old Spook, a hitmage for the Russian Mafia, and he is about to face his most difficult challenge yet.
The Yaroshenko Organization is neck-deep in a multimillion dollar Wall Street heist when an unseen mage levies a terrible curse against one of Alexi's comrades. The mage demands that the Russians release his client from the deal, cancel his debt, and forfeit their earnings, or they will suffer the fatal consequences.
After the first victim burns to death from the inside out and the deadline closes in, Alexi is sent to hunt the murderer in a feverish game of cat-and-mouse and stop him before more people die. But to save his friends and family and honor his contract, Alexi must also save his worst enemy, the one person in his life who truly deserves to die in a fire.
His father.
Set 5 years before Blood Hound, Burn Artist is a prequel to the series which reveals more about Alexi's past.
Blood Hound
Alexi Sokolsky is not your everyday hitman. Witty, intuitive, and fiercely intelligent, he is also a mage capable of shattering wards with his voice and the power of his will.
However, arcane ability comes with a price: The same powers that make Alexi indispensable to the Russian Mafia also make him a social outcast, an object of fear and superstition. When a high-ranking Sicilian Mafioso is sacrificed to the Demon of Feuds and dumped on Russian territory, the Russians blame the only mage they know – Alexi. Forced to play detective to clear his name, Alexi discovers that the gruesome sacrifice is only the opening move of a very dangerous game. Every underworld mage in New York City is on the hunt for a Gift Horse, a mysterious creature rumored to carry the secrets of all creation in her flesh and blood… a creature who is calling to Alexi for help.
If Alexi heeds the Gift Horse's call, he stands to lose his place in the Mafia, and probably his life. If he doesn't, the world will be held hostage by whoever finds her first – and given that a demon-summoning murderous psychopath is in pole position, the odds are not in the world's favor.
What I think of the books:
This is a first for me – writing a review on two books instead of one. Why did I decide to do that?
Because I planned to review both books and when I started writing, I realized the reviews are very similar.
Without further ado, here's what I think about Burn Artist and Blood Hound.
The first book that I read was Blood Hound and the first thing that comes to mind when I think of it is surreal.
The criminal aspect is prominent in both books, as is the magic, but it was while reading Blood Hound that I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming. Things get weird towards the end – really, really weird – and thanks to the writing style, they also seemed real. It's like that feeling you get when you are partially awake, but still dreaming. If you are into stories that temporarily make you question your reality, this book is for you.
As I said, magic is also present in Burn Artist, but we haven't quite entered Looney Land yet. If you decide to read the series – and I strongly recommend you do – you'd better start with this one.
Things are simpler in Burn Artist, both when it comes to the inner workings of the crime world and the magical one. However, both of those worlds are well-developed. That was what grabbed me when I began reading Blood Hound: well-written and with a HUGE, in-depth stress on magic. The characters are also developed, although back when I started Book I, I was wondering what was so special about Vassily that Alexi kept putting up with him; I found the answer to that in the prequel novella and I even developed a great liking to Vassily thanks to it.
I got to warn you: you'll probably have a hard time with all the Slavic names. I know how unfamiliar names are harder to remember so you might mix up who is who because of that. There are only a handful of important characters though so remembering probably won't be a big problem for you. Pronouncing on the other hand… I'm a Bulgarian and some of the names are similar to those in my country, but even I don't have a clue how to pronounce a few of them.
Another thing that was somewhat off-putting was the magic. Yes, I know I said that it was one of the reasons why I love the books so much, but it has a downside to it too: it's complex. Alexi would occasionally do something without the author going into details of how it was done and why it worked; it can get a bit confusing – especially in Blood Hound – but it wasn't enough to make me stop reading and enjoying the books.
Who would I recommend these books to? I'd recommend both books to escapists, to people who are interested in magical rites and to fans of the Crime genre.
My rating for Burn Artist: (5 out of 5 magical sigils)
My rating for Blood Hound: (4.5 out of 5 enchanted revolvers)
Would I re-read these books? Yep.
Would I buy other books in this series or by this author? I'm interested in the rest of the series.
Where can you buy the books?
The links will take you to the books on Amazon.
Other books by James that I've reviewed:
- Stained Glass – Alexi Sokolsky: Hound of Eden, Book 2
- Zero Sum – Alexi Sokolsky: Hound of Eden, Book 3
Have you read either of these books? Maybe both?
What did you think of them?

Despite a few setbacks last year, Thailand faces a bumper tourism year in 2016, with record numbers of international visitors expected to visit the country's many attractions.
Close to 30 million foreign visitors visited Thailand in 2015 and the country remains a firm favourite with tourists, despite negative publicity arising from a bomb attack at a shrine in central Bangkok and a highly publicised trial following the murder of two British backpackers. The bombing is believed to have been carried out by a Turkish Islamist terror group. Convictions have been secured in the backpacker murder case.
After the bombing, Thai Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha said: "They want to destroy our economy, our tourism."
If so, they have not succeeded. Tourism accounts for about 10% of Thailand's GDP and it's doing well.
Tourism Minister Kobkarn Wattanavrangkul estimates that 2 million people are likely to visit Thailand in 2016, which would be 7% above the 29.88 million who visited in 2015.
The encouraging news on tourism front comes as Thai Airways International (THAI) announces that it expects to turn a profit this month after losing money for three consecutive years.
The airline's president, Charamporn Jotikasthira, attributed the turnaround to stronger sales backed by cost cutting.
An article in the Bangkok Post quoted Charamporn forecasting that passenger load factors are on track to reach at least 80%, which would be seven points above the level where they have hovered for a long time.
