A great start to the tourist year 2018: 20% more arrivals and 17% more overnight stays in January
According to the eVisitor system, which includes tourist traffic realized in commercial and non-commercial facilities and nautical charter (eCrew system), 217.000 arrivals (+ 20%) and 612.000 overnight stays (+ 17%) were realized in January. Out of that, foreign tourists realized 126.000 arrivals (+ 22%) and 377.000 overnight stays (+ 21%), while domestic tourists also recorded increases in arrivals by 17% and in overnight stays by 12%.The good results achieved in January are the result of a strong pre-season promotion and a diverse tourist offer with an emphasis on events. “The Croatian National Tourist Board continuously conducts marketing campaigns aimed at positioning Croatia as a year-round destination. The winter brand campaign has been successfully implemented, and we will soon start implementing a promotional campaign for the pre-season in markets around the world, which will be active until the end of March. Events such as the Snow Queen on Sljeme or the European Handball Championship held in four Croatian cities had a positive effect on tourist traffic in January.”, Said director Staničić, announcing the recent announcement of the Croatian Tourist Board’s program for the allocation of grants to events.”The continuation of the double-digit growth of tourist traffic at the beginning of this year is the best indicator of how various events, from sports events to numerous new offers, have a positive impact on the development of tourism in Croatia. Today’s guests in Croatia are looking for a diverse offer and facilities, and this is exactly what we will continue to focus our activities and programs on. I believe that the tourist year 2018 will be successful not only through the growth of tourist traffic, but also through an even greater step towards better positioning of Croatia as a year-round destination”, Said Minister Cappelli.Most overnight stays in January were realized in ZagrebLooking at tourist traffic by counties, most overnight stays in January were realized in Zagreb (143.000 overnight stays), followed by Istria (107.000 overnight stays) and Kvarner (80.000 overnight stays).

Poly in the Media 23 November 2014This is my 1,000th post to Polyamory in the News. So maybe it’s time for a look back, and ahead.When I began this project in 2005, the future of the poly movement didn’t look so promising. Loving More magazine (printed on paper) and its conferences had been the movement’s centerpiece since the early to mid-1990s, but Loving More had nearly collapsed after the departure of its sparkplug Ryam Nearing. Newspapers and other media rarely allowed the word “polyamory” to appear in stories — because, we were told, it was unknown to readers, technical-sounding, and not in the dictionary.Few people had even heard of the concept. Those who did mostly thought “old hippies.” An article around that time mused about whether this idea could ever attract more interest or was destined to remain a small, little-noticed corner of the human potential movement.Nevertheless, things had advanced a lot since my last tries to advocate for group relationships in the early 1980s. At that time I’d given up on finding any kind of movement at all. I was impressed by the quality of the new people and the sophistication of their ideas.But the most active poly site I found was polyamory.livejournal.com with about 1,300 members. The internet gave the impression that the late 1990s were the high point, or at least the start of a plateau. The breakup of one well-known quad threw much of the community into a panic of self-doubt, as was parodied in this comic.So I never thought the movement would grow and mature as incredibly fast as it has in these last nine years.In 2006, the well publicized entry of polyamory into dictionaries seemed to break the dam against the media using the word. As a result, interested people could find something to google. Meanwhile Loving More had gotten back on its feet, the Washington Post gave landmark coverage to Loving More’s Poly Living conference in 2008, and in 2009 a big Newsweek feature stirred up national attention. “America’s next romantic revolution,” they called it. Activity seemed to be increasing everywhere (thanks, people!!). At the beginning of 2010 when Wired announced “Internet Pushes Polyamory to Its ‘Tipping Point’,” I wrote that we campaigners for poly awareness “sometimes get a sense that big things are actually starting to happen.”Since then the story has been all about growth and increasing confidence, much greater public awareness, and widening diversity and maturity. There are ever more websites and blogs, social groups and meetups, conferences and gatherings, advice and discussion sites (a few topping 20,000 members, one at 41,000), a TV series, and so much media attention that it’s become routine. There are now 40 nonfiction books about polyamory, 25 of them published in the last eight years. And we’re seeing a demographic shift toward millennials, many of whom take the availability of the concept for granted.What’s next? The poly movement is just one part of wider changes in attitudes about relationships, especially a growing public interest in what sociologists are calling “consensual non-monogamy,” or “CNM.” A much more dramatic shift, of course, has been the rapid public acceptance of gay relationships. Together these are part of a trend toward relationship choice: people gaining the knowledge and skills, and then seizing the right, to build their intimate lives as they choose.Which, as Barry Smiler points out, is just another step in the 500-year arc toward freedom and personal agency that defines Western civilization. Which makes it look hard to stop.Here are some recent straws in the wind of people seeing the poly movement as the future. Some of them may be a little starry-eyed, but here you go.http://polyinthemedia.blogspot.com.au/2014/11/post-number-1000-poly-being-seen-as.html?m=1
These symptoms are usually mild andbegin gradually. Some people become infected but don’t develop any symptoms anddon’t feel unwell. WHO said the most common symptoms ofCOVID-19 are fever, tiredness, and dry cough. Familiaran said a swab sample wasalready taken from her for confirmatory test at the Department of Health’sResearch Institute for Tropical Medicine. Other people then catch COVID-19 bytouching these objects or surfaces, then touching their eyes, nose or mouth. The vice mayor also said that aresident of E.B. Magalona, Negros Occidental, who was on Tuesday tagged as aPUI, was downgraded to PUM after his confirmatory result for COVID-19 yieldednegative results. According to the World HealthOrganization (WHO), people can catch COVID-19 from others who have the virus.The disease can spread from person to person through small droplets from thenose or mouth which are spread when a person with COVID-19 coughs or exhales.These droplets land on objects and surfaces around the person. Vice Mayor El Cid Familiaran, head ofthe City Inter-Agency Task Force against COVID-19, said the new PUI is a femalewho has a travel history from Singapore. She arrived on Feb. 26 and showedto have shown flu-like symptoms on March 6. Familiaran disclosed there 19 personsunder monitoring (PUMs) in the city as of March 11. These include the 15 out ofthe initial 23, eight of whom have been cleared, and four new ones. BACOLOD City – Health officials hereare closely monitoring an individual considered as “person under investigation”(PUIs) for possible infection of the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19). People can also catch COVID-19 if theybreathe in droplets from a person with COVID-19 who coughs out or exhalesdroplets. This is why it is important to stay more than one meter (three feet)away from a person who is sick. Most people (about 80 percent) recoverfrom the disease without needing special treatment. Some patients may have aches andpains, nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat or diarrhea. Around one out of every 6 people whogets COVID-19 becomes seriously ill and develops difficulty breathing. Older people, and those withunderlying medical problems like high blood pressure, heart problems ordiabetes, are more likely to develop serious illness. People with fever, cough anddifficulty breathing should seek medical attention./PN

It (avoiding crowds) is something that worries and concerns us.” The Seville derby is arguably the most intense and passionate match in Spanish football with stadiums sold out for the meeting between the rivals of Andalusia’s capital. FacebookTwitterWhatsAppEmail分享 A statement from the club’s association of Peñas added: “There is a high risk of massive contagion from coronavirus that could lead to a concentration of fans of this magnitude. “Let’s be smart and we play this derby from home, cheer on social networks and experience it through television or radio and what we should do is tint the streets green, placing the Real Betis flag visible on your balcony or window.” La Liga returns to action with the highly-anticipated fixture at Sevilla’s Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan stadium, while the derby matches are usually marked by large groups of fans gathering in areas throughout the city. However, all matches in Spain will be played behind closed doors due to social distancing measures in place due to the coronavirus pandemic. As outlined in a report by Diario Sport, figures from both clubs have pleaded with their fans to show their support from home via social media channels and by hanging flags and scarves from their balconies.

Unbeaten in his first four starts over timber, the five-year-old (2-1) beat the Willie Mullins-trained Champagne Fever earlier in the season but was only third behind the same opponent in the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle at Cheltenham last month. With the scores even, the pair renewed rivalry in this Grade One event and even-money favourite Champagne Fever was once again sent straight to the lead, but while he shook off his opponents at Prestbury Park, Jezki travelled noticeably best rounding the home turn this time and soon asserted under Barry Geraghty. Press Association He safely negotiated the final flight to seal a comfortable victory by 16 lengths, with County Hurdle winner Ted Veale beating Champagne Fever to the runner-up spot. Stan James cut Jezki to 8-1 from 16-1 for next year’s Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham following his romp and Harrington confirmed he is likely to remain over the smaller obstacles next season. Asked why her charge was able to improve so significantly on his Cheltenham run, the trainer replied: “I honestly don’t know. I thought he was 100% going to Cheltenham, maybe he didn’t like the cold weather, maybe it was the travelling or maybe it was the hill. “He took a chance at the second (hurdle) today, but he settled great and just accelerated past them. He’s only done one piece of work since Cheltenham. We’ve done very little with him, but he’s a wonderful horse to train. “I haven’t spoken properly to Mr (JP) McManus (owner), but I would imagine he will stay at two miles over hurdles next season.” Mullins was at a loss to explain Champagne Fever’s disappointing display. The trainer said: “He didn’t seem to jump with such fluency today. He missed three or four down the back. Ruby (Walsh) thought they’d gone a fair gallop and I don’t know what happened. He just didn’t fire.” The Mouse Morris-trained Rule The World was pulled up injured after jumping just three flights and Eddie O’Leary, racing manager for owners Gigginstown House Stud, said: “He’s with the vets at the moment and we’re not quite sure. It could be his pelvis.” 
Jessica Harrington’s star Jezki got back on the winning trail with a scintillating display in the Herald Champion Novice Hurdle at Punchestown.
