Cyprus is an island with strong greek traditions, but its great all year round sun is what attracts most of us, which has made it a very popular destination for Europeans, with over 2.4 million visiting its many resorts. The island receives over 330 days of sunshine a year, which has given it the name The Island of the Sun. There is no shortage of travel companies tailoring Cyprus holidays and low cost airlines such as Easyjet offering routes to Paphos and Larnaca, there has never been a better time to visit.

Cyprus attracts tourists from all over the world, but the majority come from Europe. Affluent eastern Europeans and Russians have also joined the crowd in recent years. One of the main reasons why there is such a heavy presence of Brits in Cyprus is because of the positioning of the British Armed forces in the southern Greek part of the island. The UK retains a military base in order to have a gateway for forces to the Middle East. The impact of this on the surrounding area is that Cypriots have grown used to, and in turn, now cater for the Brits. English is widely spoke and understood among nearly all age groups to driving on the left side of the road. A major attraction for many Brit tourists is that the island offers all of the comforts and familiarities of home, but in a more favourable climate.

For many reading this, the prospect of taking a holiday away from England only to be greeted at the airport by a hire car representative hailing from Croydon and being served an authentic Mediterranean dish of steak and chips will not appeal. However, this side of Cyprus, that continues to attract millions of tourists year after year, is only one aspect of the island and is concentrated around the tourist hotspots of Paphos, Larnaca and Ayia Napa. Fortunately as you venture off the beaten track, your are soon reminded of the character that has made this island a popular destination for millennia.

A trip well worth taking is into Cyprus largest mountain range, the Troodos Mountains. In the heart of the mountains you will find the Kykkos monastery, a UNESCO world heritage site since 1998. Housing art and exhibits on ancient Greece, the monastery has the twin function of being a museum for visitors and a practising monastery lived in by worshiping monks. Kykkos even has its own winery where the monks bottle and sell their wine. A daytrip to the Troodos Mountains can be a welcome change from the beach and with overnight accommodation available in many of the authentic villages dotted about; you might want to spend a few days here sampling another side of Cyprus.

Public Living & Image

Individuals of the Royal Household play a part in many tens of hundreds of civic engagements daily, all through the UK, as officially recorded in the Court Circular, to admire, encourage and be taught about the triumphs or goings-on of people institutions and enterprises in an array of areas of life. As representatives of the Queen, they persistently join the community in celebrating historical times, festivals, celebratory and sad incidences and generally also sponsors or participates in selected generous, artistic and public activities. For details about the Royal Family History, visit the Enjoy England website.

Their journeys abroad on behalf of the United Kingdom (also referred to as State Trips when the Queen publicly meets with other government officials) draws public attention to friendly dealing within & between the Commonwealth & other nations, to British cargo & trade, & to Britain as a historical, vacation, and day-tripper location. Their present duties and time-honoured functions adds up to the apex of a modern “royal court,” & supply a clearly British and historical display to royal ceremonies (e.g. Trooping the Colour) & outlook to public proceedings (Like that of the State Parties, Ascot).

During their lives they receive immense journalist coverage in the form of pictorial, printed & telecast commentary on their activities, family relationships, rites of passage, qualities, fashion, actions, and public duties.

Financial Backing

Cash that assist the Monarch in the exercise of her responsibilities as the chief of state of the U.K. comes from the Civil List. This is a return of a minute section of the takings from the Crown Lands that are offered by the sovereign to parliament at the swearing in of each reign; all Crown Land being run by The Crown Estates, an association that is solely answerable to parliament. In the two thousand and three-four financial year, the sum amount surrendered was ?176 million, where the Head of State’s outgoings was only thirty-six million pounds. The Queen’s expenditure does not however include the price of security.

Windsor Castle is understood to be the largest populated castles around currently and the oldest in continuous inhabitation (more than 900 years). It is 1 of the Queen’s three official residences, & is over and over again assumed to be easily her most favourite home. The Royal Standard soars over the Round Tower of Windsor Castle every time Queen Elizabeth is at the residence - though, at other times, the Union Jack banner soars in its position.

Samuel Pepys once commented the Castle to be “the solitary most adored castle around.” That was stated in 1666, & the comparable has been said today.

Windsor Castle Absorbing History:

The history of Windsor were in the seventh century Saxon hamlet of Windlesora, where the recent day parish of Old Windsor is situated. The town of Windsor is more accurately recognised as the “New Windsor” - the phrase “new” being taken in a strictly loose sense!

Windsor Castle in the beginning was put together by the famed William the Conqueror, due to his raid of England in ten sixty-six. The original construction was erected from lumber with gravel fortifications. Windsor Castle held a clear tactical location on a steep hill above the River Thames, and was part of a set of strongholds around the Capital, with the Tower of London, one day’s hike away, at its core.

The Castle was then later reassembled in rock, & rose in importance over the centuries. Henry the 2nd built the Round Tower and the original stone outer wall. After the English Civil War, the structure’s crucial function became that of a royal home. The Castle has stayed totally unaffected from the early nineteenth century, apart from the renovation work that followed the fire. For details for Windsor Castle, visit the Enjoy England website.

Hall was frostbitten and severely disoriented due to altitude sickness. Andrew Brash returned a hero to Calgarians. Now that Bahadur Sherchan has successfully scaled the tallest mountain in the world, he is once again ready to focus on his family. Min Bahadur Sherchan and four climbing guides reached the 29,035-foot (8,850-meters) summit of the world’s highest mountain early Sunday, said Ramesh Chretri, an official with Nepal’s ministry of tourism.

“The Chinese weren’t allowing anybody on the Mount Everest. They ended up commandeering it for themselves, even though Mount Everest is shared by two countries. “Chomolungma or Mount Everest this year became a political pawn,” he said with some frustration.

Min Bahadur Sherchan last attempt resulted in the rescue of Lincoln Hall, an Australian climber who was left by his team in the “death zone.”

This year European mountaineer Anthony Loeff is reporting the scales for Mt Everest after he reached the summit of Mont Blanc in France earlier this season.

The 76-year-old man from Nepal is now the oldest person to have reached the top of Everest. Nevertheless, the decision to actualize a long-time personal goal left Andrew Brash with some internal uncertainties, he cited the political actions of China and Nepal as providing the greatest adversity he faced on his journey. His first found him within 203 metres of the peak when his team stopped to help a fellow mountaineer who was left for dead. Two years later, Min Bahadur Sherchan, a University of Calgary alumni, returned to Chomolungma to finish what he had started.

They flexed their muscles this year all the in name of the Olympic spirit, but it was hardly spirited at all.”

The Chinese were flying their airplanes over Mt Everest and had Chinese officials in Kathmandu. As he planned for the climb, Sherchan told reporters he wanted to inspire fellow senior citizens. He also said many Nepalese have established records on Chomolungma, so it was only fitting that the record for the oldest climber to reach the summit should also belong to a Nepali. Therefore, he was all too aware of the potential dangers Everest could bring. Certain parts of the climb are more dangerous than others and it is important for climbers to remain focused Sherchan just 25 days away from his 77th birthday beat the age record set last year by 71-year-old Japanese teacher Katsusuke Yanagisawa.

With the Chinese preparing for the impending summer Olympic Games, Bahadur Sherchan noted that the government’s actions hardly reflected the Olympic spirit. More than 3044 people have climbed to the summit since it was first conquered in 1953 by New Zealander Edmund Hillary, who died in January, and Nepal’s Tenzing Norgay.

They basically coerced the Nepali government to not allow any climbers past camp two on the Nepali side. Andrew Brash returned this week from Nepal after successfully climbing to the summit of Mount Everest.

What else can I ask for?

I am so intoxicated in Her love

Everything I do has the vision of Her within

The moment I wake up, I feel her

When I am asleep, I feel Her

What else can I say besides mentioning about Her Blessings and Love?

What else can I do? What else can I say?

I often wondered how could the spirit of a bird be captured without killing it?

I searched for a direct experience for the answer

I yearn for someone who can truly be my sky

I realized who else could it be besides my Guru who is the supplier of unconditional love?

She has become my blue sky the moment our hearts joined

There’s so much space for flying and at the same time the shelter of this blue bird from the scorching sun.

“Mother: the most beautiful word on the lips of mankind.” -Kahil Gibran

This coming Sunday is our “big day,” moms. It’s the one day a year when we get officially honored for what it is that we do. I don’t know about you, but I usually find myself reflecting on exactly what my role is, anyway. Motherhood has evolved over the past two generations into a job which, many would argue, looks far different than the job our own mothers knew. And given the unfortunateand oftentimes divisivedichotomy between “working mom” and “stay-at-home mom” with which many categorize themselves, the job description sometimes gets fuzzier, rather than clearer. Does extensive volunteer work place you under the “working” or “stay-at-home” group? Does a part-time position at your kids’ school or at your church push you out of the group with which you always identified yourself? And our role changes, after all, as our kids grow up. Optionsas well as the resulting disequilibrium in shifting family dynamicsintrude on what once was a fairly easy job description to comprehend.

Controversy about motherhood is nothing new. Thousands of books, articles and commentaries have been written about our dilemmas ad nauseam. As if forty-and fifty something moms haven’t wrestled long enough with their career-parenting decisions, young moms get additional fuel for their fires with glaring mainstream media headlinesjust in time for Mother’s Day. Throw in a new poll or twoas well as more advice and analysis by traditional parenting “experts”M.D.’s and Ph.D.’sand you have more psychobabble than the baby-burble running down these sleep-deprived mommy’s sleeves!

Articles like the New York Times “The Opt-Out Revolution”; best-sellers like Perfect Madness: Motherhood in the Age of Anxiety; and critics calling motherhood everything from a “trap” to a “cult” to a “myth” to a “mess,” turn notions about our role upside down and leave moms everywhere confused and conflicted. Look at some recent media messages:

• Author/journalist Judith Warner of Perfect Madness fame claims that: “a substantial number of GenX moms (are) too focused on perfection, too focused on their children, too competitive with one another, and that it’s driving all moms crazy and providing their kids with no benefits.” She asserts that there’s an “oppressive culture of ‘total motherhood’ that “leaves no room for mothers’ own interests” with “suffocation” the direct result.

• Sumru Erkut of the Center for Research on Women at Wellesley College, asserts that: societal expectations for moms have been “racheted up by professional moms who’ve ‘upgraded motherhood to a bigger job than it used to be’” and views these moms as having “misplaced vigor.”

• New York Times book critic Judith Shulevitz, commenting on Warner (who said that motherhood has gone from “art” to “cult”) calls the job a “mess” and motherhood a “trap powered by fear of a loss of face.”

• A recent article by journalist Meredith O’Brien in an online Boston paper headlines with: The Mommy Myth: Mothers pay a high price to be perfect. (Since when did we start attaching the word “myth” to “mommy?”)

Pretty bleak picture of motherhood, huh? Hold onto your pantyhose. These journalists only paint part of the story. I dug into the facts, studied their articles, read the data and checked out their credentials. I came up with a totally different picture of motherhood and boldly challenge their assertions:

• A brand new poll (April 25) by ClubMom reveals that 63% of moms admit to feeling no pressure to live up to a “society-driven version of the ‘perfect mom.’” This same poll finds that most moms are “happy” with their family relationships.

• 51% of those GenXer’s they’re talking about have traded super careers for motherhood because when they viewed the trade-offs required to “gun” their own careers (and some believe, through direct observation of their own working moms), they decided that the sacrifices required just weren’t worth it.

• 79% of moms overall rate their own sense of well-being an “A” or “B”; 84% believe they are able to keep their minds sharp and active; and 76% rate their overall health (mental and physical) as high.

• In stark contrast to the “trap” or “mess” that these experts call motherhood, polls find that only 10% of working moms would choose to work full-time if money were no object, i.e. some 90% of moms would prefer the “trap” of motherhood to the workforce.

• Of Harvard Business School’s women graduates of ‘81, ‘85, and ‘91women currently in the fortysomething crowdonly 38% are working full-time.

• 26% of women at the cusp of the most senior levels of management do not want that next promotion, choosing more time at home with family over career advancement.

This job of motherhood is huge, it is vitally important, and those of us on the frontlines know it. Moms at home raising children today are there because we view our job as the most important one ever invented. I am working hard to help “put motherhood with excellence back on the map.” That’s what “rocket mom” is all about. I uphold with unapologetic optimism the distinct role we mothers play in shaping human destiny. If that’s called “over parenting” or a “myth” or a “cult” or a “trap” or a “mess,” than somebody better wake up and flip the pancakes.

I don’t have all the answers; in fact, I have only a few. I don’t pretend to be the world’s best mother; just ask my kids how often I throw up my hands in frustration and resignation. But I am intent of helping momsand our culture at largereview and renew the importance of what we do. I don’t care if you work in the home or work in a beautiful office; divisions among moms are unhealthy. Truth is, once we have children, we’re all in this together.

I just wish to inspire you, encourage you, and celebrate with you, the honorable role we play in shaping this whole next generation to greatness. On Mother’s Day. And everyday.

Happy celebration!
