JOURNAL OF THE INSTITUTE OF TOURISM STUDIES ISSUE 1 APRIL 2008 TRAVEL TOURISM CULTURE HERITAGE WELCOME elcome Eating & Fasting E-learning Malta Yesteryear The Promise of JOURNAL OF THE INSTITUTE OF TOURISM STUDIES STUDIES OF TOURISM JOURNAL OF THE INSTITUTE Tourism Relational Tourism The Way Forward A New Breed of Tourists ISSUE 1 APRIL 2008 The Maltese Islands are JOURNAL OF THE INSTITUTE OF TOURISM STUDIES ISSUE 1 APRIL 2008 | 1 renowned for the warm hospitality they extend to foreigners who choose to editorial stay for a short period of Welcome to time in these sunny islands. With the same warmth I welcome readers of this new publication which, however, will attempt to break with tradition Welcome is not just another travel and tourism magazine. It will sincerely strive to look at the Maltese tourism industry holistically, in view of the exponential increase in importance for the sector, of Maltese history, heritage, culture and the arts. It will analyse current trends and attempt to predict future ones. It should provide a good and worthwhile read for those who want to keep abreast of the latest endeavours in one of the pillars of the Maltese economy. Welcome will mainly cover travel, tourism, culture and heritage. These fields were not chosen at random but lie at the core of any attempt at a definition of the Maltese Nation. Culture and Heritage are now inextricably intertwined with Tourism as they represent (or should represent) the primary interest of the new breed of tourist which Malta hopes to entice to visit us. Their creative integration within the industry forms a fundamental part of the Maltese product and, as things stand, of a coherent management of Malta’s heritage and the promotion of its true Mediterranean culture, forming the basis of the new niche markets of an industry that no longer rests on the ‘sun and sea’ asset. Another element touched by this magazine is the importance of new technologies, especially eBusiness and eCommerce. ray vassallo In this respect WELCOME presents an exposition of ITS’ four-year-old effort in training future operators in the sector in these areas. It also gives a blow-by-blow account of the birth of the ITS elearning platform, intended to disseminate the institute’s training programmes to an ever larger segment of the industry. The year 2008 is the twentieth year of operation of the Institute. The next issue of the magazine will focus on an overview of these two decades pointing out the milestones of ITS’ evolution from a simple catering school to a respected institution offering cutting- edge courses over a wide spectrum of activity within Tourism and Hospitality. Meanwhile, in this issue, we will take a look at Integrated Relational Tourism, a new development in the sector in which ITS is specialising. The arrival of low-cost airlines and on-line booking has given birth to a new kind of tourist who is more interested in actively interacting with the population and experiencing life the way the Maltese actually live it. The establishment of a specialised Centre for Cultural & Heritage Studies at the Institute of Tourism Studies is also another milestone in our continuous struggle to widen and extend the scope of the Institute’s operations and activities. The Centre will see to the cross-disciplinary inclusion of its areas of specialisation within the Institute’s educational programmes. This issue of WELCOME presents us with a first effort, a brief history of Maltese cuisine in all its uniqueness and humour. Finaly I would like to thank Mr. Reginald Abela, Executive Chairman of ITS, and Mr. Joseph Bonello, ITS Head of Administration, without whose encouragement and active support this initiative would not have materialised. www.its.edu.mt We hope you enjoy this premier issue. 2 welcome TRAvEL TOURISM cULTURE HERITAgE JOURNAL OF THE INSTITUTE OF TOURISM STUDIES ISSUE 1 APRIL 2008 | 3 welcome is the official magazine of the Institute of Tourism Studies, Malta’s only professional further and higher education institution that meets the changing needs of the Hospitality and Tourism Industry in the Maltese Islands.

    The Complete Sacred Music of Nicolò Isouard (1773 – 1818) and Maltese Sacred Music for The Order of Malta in the Late Eighteenth Century. By Richard Sydney Benedict Divall Doctor of Letters (Honoris Causa – Monash 1992) and Doctor of the University (Honoris Causa – Australian Catholic University 2004) A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy MCD University of Divinity 2013 MCD University of Divinity To Whom it May Concern This is to certify that the thesis and music editions presented by me for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy comprises only my original work except where due acknowledgment is made in the text to all other material used. Signature: ____________________________________ Name in Full: ____________________________________ Date: ____________________________________ Abstract. Nicolò Isouard (1773-1818) is considered Malta’s national composer. After studies in France and Naples, he returned to his homeland, where from 1794 to 1798 he was an aspiring composer, and employee of the Order of Malta. In 1994 a collection of thirty-three autographs of hitherto unknown sacred music by Isouard appeared at the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris, and I recognised the importance of these manuscripts. My intentions are to provide a précis on the Order, as the sovereign entity ruling Malta at the time, and the sacred music composed for them in their great Conventual Church in Valletta – now St John’s Co-Cathedral. The thesis will provide the background to Isouard’s early career and a complete edition and commentary of all of his sacred music, including additional works found during the research process, and a catalogue of his stage works.

    Brian J. Dendle THE MALTESE NOVELS OF NICOLAS SAUDRAY The French novelist Nicolas Saudray, born in Normandy in 1942, has spent his professional career as an economist in the French civil service; for six years he served on the conseil d'administration of the Bibliotheque Nationale. His nine novels (described below) are set in various coun­ tries (the Orient, France, Malta, the France of the future) and have as common theme the hunger for faith of the modern world. His two Maltese novels (Dieu est-il gentilhomme?, Chevalerie du soir) are more "realistic," with less hint of spiritual transcendence, than his other works. They treat the final years of rule of the Order of St. John and the French and British invasions. The novels-novelized history more than fiction-are crammed with vivid incident and are rigorously researched. The knights fail to defend Malta because they have lost faith in their mission. Saudray treats with affectionate exasperation an Order which had refused to reform itself and had lost its reason for existence. The world, Saudray suggests with a certain melancholy, was no longer worthy of the chivalric ideal: -Nous avons perdu Malte, enchaine Giulio, parce que nous ne la meri­ tions plus. -Dis plutot, replique Raczynski, que notre epoque a perdu sa chevalerie, parce qu'elle n'en etait plus digne. (Chevalerie du soir, 358) The Novels of Nicolas Saudray Le Maltre des fontaines (1978), a powerful and disturbing novel of spiri­ tual awakening, raises the question of God's communication with man in an age without religious belief. The lost Gospel of Thaddeus is dis­ covered in a poverty-stricken Jacobite monastery in the Diyarbekir region of Turkey, close to the frontiers of Syria and Iraq.

  • Maximum Breaks 147 (Professional Snooker)

    Maximum Breaks 147 (Professional Snooker)

    aus: Hugo Kastner: SNOOKER – Spieler, Regeln & Rekorde Update: Juli 2012 Maximum Breaks 147 (Professional Snooker) The 147er-Club Nichts im Snookersport geht über das 147er-Break, denn näher kann man der Perfektion am Tisch nicht sein. Und selten genug gelingt es sogar den absoluten Superstars in professionellen Snookerwettkämpfen ein „147“ zu schaffen. Der Grund liegt nicht allein in der Schwierigkeit, 36 perfekte Stöße in Serie zu machen, sondern auch in der Spannung, die bei den heute üblichen Kurzserien auf jedem Frame liegt. Sicherheitsspiel und der Wechsel von Angriff zu Verteidigung, wenn nicht mit hohem Prozentsatz ein Potten zu erwarten ist, lassen die „147“ zu einer Rarität werden, auch bei den heute hochkarätigsten Turnieren. Glück gehört auch noch dazu, keine Frage, denn bisweilen entscheiden Millimeter über einen exzellenten oder katastrophalen Stoß. Dafür ist der Lohn hoch, der ideelle wie auch der finanzielle. 147.000 Pfund, die viele Jahre für ein Maximum bei der Weltmeisterschaft ausgeschüttet wurden, entsprachen fast dem Siegerscheck für dieses Turnier. Seit der Saison 2011/12 lässt ein Roll-over-System das Preisgeld für ein „147“ von Turnier zu Turnier anwachsen, falls nicht irgendein Spieler durch ein „Max“ den Jackpot knackt. In den TV-Spielen werden 5000 Pfund ausbezahlt (bzw. mitgenommen), in den Qualifikationsphase 500 Pfund, ebenso in der Players Tour Championship. Dennoch führt für die Stars der wahre Weg zum Snookerhimmel über den moralischen Egogewinn und die Anerkennung durch die Fangemeinde. Jeder Snookerstar träumt von „seinem“ Maximum! Wer sind bis dato die Mitglieder dieses exklusiven 147er-Clubs des Professional Snooker? 1 Steve Davis – John Spencer (5-2) # (Lada Classic) 11.
