Colombian coffee is grown in two main regions, the central region around Medellin, Armenia and Manizales, known as MAM to aficionados, and the eastern, more mountainous region near Bogotá and...

Florence! The heart of the art! Located in the middle of Tuscany, it has represented for centuries the cradle of art, in all its forms and expressions. This enormous and priceless heritage has attracted people from all over the world, making of Florence one of the most popular tourist destinations.

Success Secrets Still Valid By Wayne Van Dyck 15 top motivational gurus distilled 8 Secrets to Success they all agreed upon. These secrets are still good today and are as follows: 1. Take 100% Responsibility for Your Life - In a society where people blame everything from their parents, to the media, to the government, for failure, those who don't buy into this mentality or succumb to the "victim" thinking succeed. To blame somebody or something other then yourself is saying they have control of your life and not you. Someone else's opinion of you doesn't have to become your reality. 2. Live Your Life On Purpose - What separates motivational thinkers from the unsuccessful is that they don't just...

Armenia prides itself on being the first nation to formally adopt Christianity (early 4th century). Despite periods of autonomy, over the centuries Armenia came under the sway of various empires including the Roman, Byzantine, Arab, Persian, and Ottoman.

Armenian leaders remain preoccupied by the long conflict with Muslim Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh, a primarily Armenian-populated region, assigned to Soviet Azerbaijan in the 1920s by Moscow. Armenia and Azerbaijan began fighting over the area in 1988; the struggle escalated after both countries attained independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. By May 1994, when a cease-fire took...

Halloween is often considered an American festivity, so it might surprise you to know that it originated in Ireland as the Pagan Celtic harvest festival Samhain.

They also saw Halloween as marking the time when the days would shorten and there would be darkness and coldness of the winter...

Timeless Things This is what I said last year: "You've secretly coveted your friend's Rolex for years but think you can't afford to own one. I'll bet financial expert Suze Orman would agree with me that with regular savings from your paycheck each month, and dining out a little less each week, you could own an affordable pre-owned man's or lady's Rolex to last your lifetime and the next." In today's market, I'm still saying it. With timepieces like Patek Philippe, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Cartier, Tourneau or Rolex, pre-owned doesn't mean Barbara Streisand's "Second Hand Rose, Second Hand Clothes" metaphor. Pre-owned means somebody owned it and traded it in for a different or more expensive model. Often...

In general, the cost of airline tickets from the United States to Australia is not really cheap even if advertised that way.

This is easier by far if you do so online via the Internet where all the carriers and travel agents stand ready to provide you with both a quote and your reservation quickly with a credit card payment.

Flying is a necessary evil if you want to get from one place to another. The level of evil you must submit to, however, is directly proportional to the class of seating you have. First class seating on a long flight is simply heaven on earth. First class. Ah.... People feeding you grapes and fanning you with big palm leaves. Okay, maybe not. Still first class is where you find seats made for the human body and stewardesses that don't act like French waiters. On a long flight, first class is where you want to be. Make no mistake, flying these days is nearly as calming as a trip to the dentist. You don't want to go, but you know there is no avoiding it. From long security checks to late takeoffs to...

One of the world's oldest civilizations, Armenia once included Mount Ararat, which biblical tradition identifies as the mountain that Noah's ark rested on after the flood. It was the first country in the world to officially embrace Christianity as its religion (c. A.D. 300). In the 6th century B.C., Armenians settled in the kingdom of Urartu (the Assyrian name for Ararat), which was in decline. Under Tigrane the Great (fl. 95-55 B.C.) the Armenian empire reached its height and became one of the most powerful in Asia, stretching from the Caspian to the Mediterranean Seas. Throughout most of its long history, however, Armenia has been invaded by a succession of empires. Under constant threat of...
