Mošćenice is medieval fortified town , located on a steep cliff beneath the Mountain Učka, with its ancient walls and narrow stone streets. The town has changed many owners throughout its tumultuous history, but has survived all challenges and has remained preserved until today. Mošćenice can only be entered through one gate, over which the Habsburg coat of arms is engraved. The houses are so compressed that the town does not have one square. The most dominating monument is the Church of St Andrew the Apostle.

Pearl Harbor is famous to visitors the world over as the site of the December 7, 1941 attack that pushed the United States into World War II. Not surprisingly, people most often think of the iconic U.S.S. Arizona memorial when they think of Pearl Harbor.
But another Battleship also resides there which represents the end of World War II. The U.S.S. Missouri was the site of the Japanese surrender in 1945 which finally ended the war. The ship sailed right into Tokyo Bay and the surrender proceedings where held on its deck. Some years ago I ask a veteran who had served on the Missouri what his thoughts were as the ship steamed into the Bay that day. “I thought were were going to be blown to Hell for sure,” he told me.Â

Top executives are “dragging their feet” on environmentally friendly travel procurement, a survey of business travellers and purchasers has found.
More than 300 staff worldwide were polled on their attitude to sustainable travel by the Association of Corporate Travel Executives (ACTE) and travel management firm KDS.
Although it found organisations are sticking by their commitment to greener travel despite the recession, nearly half said top managers set a bad example, with many choosing short domestic flights instead of long train journeys or videoconferencing. Some of the worst offenders were in France and the US, while the UK had the most “virtuous” bosses.
