This major surfing event will draw participants and spectators from the 49 member nations of the ISA, bringing increased interest in Jaco to the international community through extensive television, internet, and print coverage of the Games. In addition, hotel occupancy rates before, during, and after the event are expected to reach a new peak.
Billabong USA will also be sponsoring the event for the first time, bringing further exposure to Jaco through their marketing campaign. Through Billabong＊s support and sponsorship, the Games will now be held annually instead of semi-annually. Jaco is proud to have the honor of being the first host city for the now annual ISA World Games. That Jaco Beach was chosen to host this historic event is evidence of it＊s rising popularity as a surf and vacation destination.
The ISA is the IOC recognized World governing body for surfing and all wave riding disciplines including bodyboard, kneeboard, shortboard, longboard, skimboard, tandem, stand-up paddle and tow-in surfing.
The ISA works for surfing＊s development in member nations, and the establishment of the sport in new regions around the world.
※We are proud to be involved with the ISA and to help support the development of surfing both in Jaco, and Costa Rica in general,§ says Joshua ten Brink, General Manager of Riverside Developers, ※As sponsors of the event, the Sonesta Jaco Resort will receive broad recognition from surfing enthusiasts world-wide.§
It was in 1964, during the first World Championships near Sydney Australia, that the International Surfing Federation was formed. This association brought all of the surfing nations together under one governing body, and began organizing World Championships every other year. The ISF became the ISA in 1976 during the competitions in Hawaii. By 1997, the International Olympic Committee had granted the ISA complete recognition as the worldwide authority for surfing, welcoming the sport to the Olympic movement.

( 2.9 / 16 )Development has traditionally been viewed as the antithesis of environmental protection. Riverside Developers believes that by developing land efficiently and conscientiously, we can make this world a better place, both for our residents and the wildlife we so cherish. The site of the Sonesta Jaco Resort demonstrates these ideals.
The Sonesta Jaco Resort is being built in Costa Rica, a country with vast reserves of wild lands yet to be matched by many other countries. Within this paradigm of conservation, we work to preserve the landscape by building in harmony with nature. We strive to incorporate the venerable trees growing on our construction sites into the project. For example, a palm tree about 100 years old will sit in the center of our lagoon-style pool, exactly where it has grown for generations. Also incorporated into the design is the beautiful creek running through the property. It will continue to provide water and habitat for the wildlife that use it today. Every project we build sets aside a portion of the land on the property as greenspace, allowing habitat for countless plants and small animals. We provide nesting space for birds, and feeding spots for butterflies, as well as catchment for Costa Rica＊s plentiful rainwater, preventing pollution and erosion. Our ecologists direct us as we strive to maintain and nurture the vegetation and trees that provide food and shelter for the parrots, squirrels, and iguanas that call our land home, and make your vacation distinctly tropical.
Our commitment is not limited to the use of the land our developments rest on. The very design of the buildings prevents waste before, during, and after construction. We ensure that there is minimal waste of materials by utilizing careful planning, and the materials themselves are chosen to be the best fit for their environment, making longer-lasting, more durable buildings that will look new for decades to come. We embrace the work of the best architects, so our buildings have a more modern look, making it unlikely that they will be replaced in the near future because of obsolescence. Our modern designs are not just attractive, they are efficient in their use of water and electricity, producing savings for the resident as well as the planet. We use high-tech solutions like our wastewater treatment facility, which ensures the health of our guests, the soil, and the water flowing down our rivers and lapping against our shoreline.
Some developers may view protecting the environment as a costly regulatory consideration that should be side-stepped whenever possible. At Riverside Developers, we know that by building with intelligence, integrity, and innovation we can improve the world everyone lives in, an investment not to be taken lightly.

( 3 / 15 )Here＊s the happs: Everybody wants to have a wonderfully pristine place to lay their heads. If cleanliness is next to godliness, than entering your new, clean abode should be like a religious experience. So what can you do to insure you＊re about to move into a spotless apartment cleaning services malibu?
I＊ve been through this about umpteen times, so I have some pretty solid advice for you. So listen up!
First and most important is a personal visit. Go on a tour of the actual apartment you＊ll move into. Or as Kenny Rogers might suggest, ※just drop by to see what condition their condition is in.§ Any place that shows you an apartment that＊s dirty should be a red-flag. Are the walls coated with a fresh coat of paint? Are the counter tops and kitchen floors so glisteningly clean that you want to eat off of them? Have the carpets cleaned? To see an apartment lingering with the stench of cigarettes and carpet that rivals turf after a rainstorm should concern you. You may want to steer your attention to a place that has carpet that makes you just want to take off those shoes, run your toes through it, and breath in that fresh new apartment aroma. That's more like it!
Oh! Make sure to check out the exterior. Don＊t be afraid to judge the book by its cover in this situation. Are the buildings freshly painted? Do stairways or fences need repair? What about the landscaping? If you drive-through at night, did they ※leave the lights on for you?§ Generally, a very well kept community contains incredibly kept apartments.
You＊ve also should check with the people that have been there. Visit with the residents. Ask about their experiences and how management responds to issues or maintenance requests. Then be clear and concise with your future property manager. Ask straight forward questions regarding their cleanliness standards and turnaround time on maintenance requests.
Just an extra hint: If you'd like to have something changed or fixed before you move in, make sure to put it in writing, and give it to them in person. Always remember that when something is in writing, it is usually always remembered!
I＊d even go so far as to check an online at
Apartment Home Living to see if anyone has posted anything about the place you may be about to call home.
So that＊s about it. You follow those simple guidelines and I guarantee that you will end up living in a place that you will love laying down your head and calling "Home, sweet, home."

New Delhi: In Art of Investing this week, art correspondent Sahar Zaman recommends trying out art prints. The signed giclee prints by international artists available at Rupees eight thousand and onwards are worth a try.
The ＆Fuschia Tree＊ in the capital is one such place where you can make this purchase.
There's not much of an appetite for art prints in the market but art house ＆Fuschia Tree＊ is trying to create a demand for it. And it＊s doing that by offering a limited edition of signed giclee prints of paintings that work out to be extremely cheaper than the original.
CEO of the ＆Fuschia Tree＊, Chanda Chaudhary said, ※80 thousand pounds on one hand for original work and then a signed print for just Rupees twenty thousand - that's the comparison....Ilyas' original work would be available for about US $10,000 but we give a print for Rupees 8,000.§
But that doesn＊t mean that the print offered is of cheap quality.
Giclee prints are made by a special technology of ink quirts and a final varnish layer, which maintain the original colours of the painting and also manages to capture minute details of the brush strokes.
The official website gives you details of the process and also a search engine which helps you select prints by preference of name, country, style and colour.
It is also a website that offers known artists from Peru, Botswana, Russia, the US, the UK. Just at a click of a button and at reasonable rates, you can get the work pieces of your choice."
The added attraction for a fresh art collector is the lock in period of one year.
Once you buy a print, you can exchange it a year later with another print of any other artist of a similar price range.
If the art world is new to you, your first step in at ＆Fuschia Tree＊ and then take small steps from there on to the world of art appreciation.
