    INTERNATIONAL MEN’S CLUB OF ZUG, P.O. BOX 7212, 6301 ZUG IIII Editor: Alan Cattell • email: [email protected] IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IMCZNEWS AUGUST / SEPTEMBER 2020 EDITORIAL & EVENTS I hope you’re all managing to enjoy the summer holiday season safely. I know it’s not what many of you would have planned, but with the restrictions on foreign travel, potential quarantine rules and the inadvisability of certain types of holidays (e.g. cruises) we need to be flexible and look closer to home. Fortunately, this being Switzerland, there are a lot of options. Unfortunately the depths of human stupidity know no bounds. We know that Covid-19 is still around and we have few defenses against it, but that does not seem to stop some people acting like it doesn’t exist. Numbers are up again in many countries, and in some dramatically. Please remember that we each share a responsibility to contribute to the management of the disease as our decisions don’t affect only ourselves. So stick to the hygiene rules, maintain separation, wear a mask if in doubt and download and use the Swiss Covid app. With these relatively simple and fairly painless measures we can make a big difference to the progression of the disease, help save lives and avoid further draconian lock-down measures. As mentioned in the last newsletter, the IMCZ is starting to return to “normal”, as far as possible given the Covid guidelines. We are holding our normal Stammtisch meetings on Thursday evenings and we have two events planned. 23rd August – Afro / Caribbean themed Summer Party Introducing… New members at the Siehbachsaal at the lakeside in Zug.

(average of 13) Overseas Adventure Travel ® The Leader in Personalized Small Group Adventures on the Road Less Traveled 1 Dear Traveler, For me, one of the joys of traveling is the careful planning that goes into an adventure—from the first spark of inspiration to hours spent poring over travel books about my dream destinations—and I can’t wait to see where my next journey will take me.

  • Norte De Anestesia 2017 16 a 18 De Novembro De 2017
    Norte de Anestesia 2017 16 a 18 de Novembro de 2017 Best things to do in Oporto Forged by some of history's leading architects, Porto's majestically adorned valleys combine Latin charisma, Baroque flair, and a peculiarly British streak as sweet as the region's Port wine. Here's what to see in one of the world's most charismatic cities! Luis I Bridge Gustave Eiffel's - Luis I Bridge is as spectacular as the views from it. Cross the Douro to the famous Port wine cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia for sun-soaked panoramas of both cities! Página 1 Norte de Anestesia 2017 16 a 18 de Novembro de 2017 Clerigos Tower The highest point in a low city, sailors once used the Clerigos Tower as a guide into the riverfront square. Great views await if you can manage the 240 steps to the top! Porto Cathedral The imposing facade is one of Porto's oldest monuments, but the time-honored Gothic and Baroque alterations of its chapel have made the unique Porto cathedral sightseeing essential! Página 2 Norte de Anestesia 2017 16 a 18 de Novembro de 2017 Região Vinhateira do Alto Douro (Douro Valley) UNESCO World Heritage. Tour the banks of the Port wine-producing river Douro for breathtaking landscapes and a glass or six of the region's beloved purple tipple – straight from the barrel! Casa da Música This colossal cubist bubble quickly became an icon for the city when it was finished in 2005. The Casa da Música offers guided tours of its many features, as well as a dynamic performance program! Página 3 Norte de Anestesia 2017 16 a 18 de Novembro de 2017 Palácio da Bolsa (Stock Exchange Palace) The arrogance of an empire exerts itself in this pompous Stock Exchange Palace Palácio da Bolsa.

CARLOS MARTINS WHOSE PERSEVERANCE , STRENGTH AND RIGOR HAVE INSPIRED MY CREATIVITY TO MY FAMILY , FOR ALL 3 This experimental thesis is applied to a practical case study on the Management Plan of the Historic Centre of Porto World Heritage, which was sent to UNESCO on 5 th December 2008, and in which I actively participated in the analysis drafting and in the composition of texts. It was very useful for me to make a comparison with the Italian method learned during the master course. My supervisor, Professor Falini, during the year of study, showed us her excellent work. My contribution to the work done has helped me to decide which topic I would deal with and to find the enthusiasm to develop a possible model of management for the historic centre of Porto. Most of the supporting materials for the analysis is part of a bibliographic research; although my personal preparation leads me naturally to focus on architecture component of the city system, I will shortly comment some/many of the studies developed by citizens of Porto that I have analyzed about other areas of influence such as engineering, economic, socio- anthropological, environmental, infrastructure.
