Obviously it is not very clear at first, but if you think deeper it fits perfect into the session's concept. The tropic fruit raises the summer mood of the event, reminds us of delicious desserts and pleasant emotions. It is "Green" - eating fruits is more ECO. An article on this subject will be published later We would like to welcome you to this forum, and to wish you on behalf of the Media Team a productive session, new friedships, cultural exchange and lot of sun in your hearts Enjoy reading and stay tuned

THE KING AND THE MERMAID Ovseidon and Anniel Long-long time ago a great island as large as North Africa and the Near East combined existed in the Atlantic Ocean. The island belonged to tall and manly Ovseidon who ruled there with a beautiful muse Anniel, known for her sincere and amazing smile. Ovseidon built a city on the island, and on a mountain in the center of the city, he built a palace for Anniel. They had ten loyal servants. Ovseidon divided the island among them, giving each a part to rule in This city was better than paradise. It was a cheerful place of great joy where citizens did not even hear about evil and misery. Unfortunately, everyone else envied them. Angered by this utopia, Zeus sent an earthquake, that made Atlantis sink into the sea in the course of one day and one night. And so Ovseidon became the king of the ocean, and Anniel turned into a Mermaid Thousands of years have passed since then. Bet still all races share the story of a great flood that destroyed an entire civilization. The name Atlantis appears in various forms throughout the world. On the Canary Islands they have a legend involving Atalaya. The Basques of Northern Spain have Atlaintica. The Vikings told the tale of Atli. Northern Africa called it Attala. The Aztecs have Aztlรกn, and the North American Indians called theirs Azatlรกn You may think that this is the end, but it is too early to put a period to this legend. Ovseidon and Anniel are gaining strength to resurrect their kingdom. The place was not chosen by accident. The city of romance,art, humor, poems, theaters, museums and beautiful seaside, Odesa, is, perhaps, the most Atlantislooking town today Hand by hand Ovseidon and Anniel will be trying to revive the legend and all we have to do is to take a deep breath and simply enjoy observing them doing their best

The Truth Behind Carbon Tax
The age old proverb "Everybody talks about weather, but nobody does anything about it" is not valid anymore in this century. Since the
Kyoto Protocol was first signed in the late 1990's, many efforts have been made by governments and NGO's worldwide to face global warming and achieve climate stability. Devastation of the ecosystem, water contamination, melting ice in the Arctic and Antarctic regions are only some of the problems caused by
Greenhouse Effect the
This phenomenon has spread waves of anxiety all over the world and calls

?
find out in the next issue
for immediate reactions. The most important measures nowadays are carbon taxes and the -so called- emmissions' trading scheme. Which is more effective? To find out stay tuned in the "crash test" that follows To begin with, what is In the narrowest sense, carbon taxes are governmentally mandated fees levied on entities whose activities lead to the production and emission into the atmosphere of dangerous gases, such as carbon dioxide. Their advantages are numerous: they can be implemented quickly, they are stable in their costs, they are not susceptible to "strategic behaviour" by large firms and, obviously, they are good sources of revenues the state.

and Emissions' Trading
Advertisement A valuable price involved! Carry on reading! Company Chanel is looking for a girl with the most beautiful banana smile. The rules are simple: if you see any of the company employees pass around, give them a teasing smile. The girl with the best smile wins the main price – the original Chanel N° 5 perfume worth $250. It’s that simple. If you see Petrik the media editor, Martin the journo or Vitalie the big boss editor, just give them a smile and the amazing reward may be yours All rights reserved. For more details, talk to Petrik, Martin or Vitalie
the other hand there is also a negative side: the level at which a tax is set to produce the best outcomes cannot be known in advance. Thus, it may have to go through several changes before having the desired effect, becoming politically vulnerable Now let's move on to the emissions' trading scheme. The what?, many of you may ask in confusion. Well, to answer your (hypothetical) question it's a marketbased approach used to control pollution by providing economic incentives for achieving reductions in the emissions of pollutants. The recent use of this program encourages
companies to reduce their greenhouse gases' emissions in exchange for money, creating a perfect environment for fruitful competition and technological innovation. However, one drawback is its questionable transparency that poses a severe threat to the proper functioning of the scheme; there is no legal framework to protect businesses from substantial losses and disruptions So, which of the aforementioned measures should be implemented to pave the way for sustainable development of our planet? The answer is both. And perhaps we need to become more responsible, in order shift to decreasing the worst effects of climate change Artemis Triki delegate
