    Edinburgh Festivals SURVIVAL GUIDE Introduction by Alexander McCall Smith INTRODUCTION The original Edinburgh Festival was a wonderful gesture. In 1947, Britain was a dreary and difficult place to live, with the hardships and shortages of the Second World War still very much in evidence. The idea was to promote joyful celebration of the arts that would bring colour and excitement back into daily life. It worked, and the Edinburgh International Festival visitor might find a suitable festival even at the less rapidly became one of the leading arts festivals of obvious times of the year.

  • 18 – 22 July 2016
    18 – 22 July 2016 Information pack for participants The aims of the International Environmetrics Society Conference TIES aims to foster the development and use of statistical and quantitative methods in the environmental sciences, and emphasises the role of collaboration between statisticians, mathematicians, scientists and engineers in finding solutions to problems in environmental monitoring, engineering and protection. Contents Venue maps Introduction Programme Conference events Excursions in Edinburgh Useful information An introduction and welcome from Ron Smith, President TIES As President of the International Environmetrics Society (TIES), I welcome you to the 26th TIES conference in Edinburgh, Scotland, on 18th - 22nd July 2016. The city has a relatively quiet period now with the schools on holiday and the major international festivals only starting in August, so it is a good opportunity to see the sights and soak up the atmosphere, hopefully without too much rain. There is a really exciting conference programme with 132 oral or poster presentations covering a very wide range of environmetrics topics. There are many countries represented at the conference and there will be good opportunities to forge new relationships and develop international research – maybe an important consideration in post-referendum Britain. The opening plenary talk uses telemetry data to deduce animal movement patterns and the closing plenary looks at the role of Bayesian priors in real- world environmental problems including conservation of threatened species. We also look at spatial patterns in environmental influences on human health in two plenaries, one on more general population environmental exposure and the other specifically looking at particulates and pregnancy outcomes. The complexity of human-environmental interactions is addressed in the remaining plenary which considers the concept of “integrated risk” and how it may transform our current sustainable development dialogue.

  • Amsterdam, Netherlands Overview Introduction
    Amsterdam, Netherlands Overview Introduction Tell anyone you're going to Amsterdam and there's a fair chance they'll either sigh with envy or give you a sly nod. Amsterdam's reputation for tolerance laced with sin precedes it, but equally renowned are its scenic and cultural attractions. Amsterdam hotels are known for their cleanliness and hospitality, its restaurants offer world cuisine, and along the city streets is a shopper's paradise. Most visitors fall in love with the city and return again and again. Amsterdam is nourished by a wealth of museums, concert halls, and avant-garde theater and dance venues. Its relaxed and tolerant attitudes draw those looking for a creative, anything-goes atmosphere. Large numbers of beautiful tree-lined canals are bordered by streets with rows of narrow, gabled houses and 17th-century warehouses, making Amsterdam an architectural treasure trove. Amsterdam is much smaller in population (but no less interesting) than many European capitals. As a result, much of the city center can be comfortably explored on foot—or, if you want to look like a true local, by bicycle. Highlights Sights—The Westerkerk (West Church) on the Prinsengracht and the spectacular view from its tower; gabled mansions on the 17th-century canal ring inside the Singelgracht; the Anne Frank Huis; the Red Light District; Amsterdam-Noord. Museums—Rembrandts at the Rijksmuseum; the Van Gogh Museum; the Stedelijk Museum. Memorable Meals—Smoked eel at Haesje Claes; french fries with mayonnaise or peanut-butter sauce from the rear end of the Albert Cuyp Markt; rijsttafel at Tempo Doeloe; salted or pickled herring from one of the fish stands along the canals; traditional Dutch fare at Moeders; international dishes from Food Hallen.

  • POV 62 Nov 15 Master
    Now there are even more breweries It’s official - there are more breweries than ever. Figures released by the Campaign for Real Ale confirmed that at the last count there were 1147 breweries in the UK, an increase in a year of 190, and a percentage increase of 14%. Remember - this is at a time when we are still struggling with the effects of one of the longest downturns in economic activity for many year. In fact during the worst months of the recession the numbers were still increasing. In Scotland the number of new breweries is now 76, an increase of 9 over the previous year. One thing that is striking about the new entrants is their variety, and where they are. While some are understandably concentrated near the centres of population - one of the commonest places to find such a brewery is on an industrial estate - others are right out in the countryside. What they have in common is a desire to bring original ideas to the craft and science of brewing, not forgetting an insistence on authentic ingredients, and as much local sourcing as possible. There is another noticeable feature about this growth in breweries. It is being replicated in many parts of the world, from Scandinavia to the United States. Furthermore it appears to have been largely unexpected, with conventional ideas about the brewing industry predicting, until recently, yet more concentration in the business. Can this growth, which has been a feature of the beer scene for some years now, possibly continue? Read more on page? WHATPUB, C A M R A ’ s o n l i n e newspapers.

On top of the nerd factor, you have the spook factor of the Mackenzie Ghost. I love to simply wander in the graveyard and get away from the throngs of tourists around Greyfriar's Bobby. These tours are a wee bit kitschy, and not for everybody's taste. But, after taking their graveyard tour twice, I can highly recommend it as good for both history buffs and thrill seekers. Sadly, nobody on my tours spotted the Mackenzie ghost, but I did see something very strange myself: a black shadow in the shape of a six foot tall man. It was watching me too Needless to say, the experience was thrilling for me! You will find great live music at the Royal Oak, but be aware - this bar is tiny! The bar is quite close to the Royal Mile, and is an old favourite of the locals. The park located next to the University is quite a pleasant one for walking. You may find small vans selling food, buskers singing songs, and dogs fetching sticks. Then make your way through the university for a glimpse of the architecture and student life.
