Therefore, the success of this project was extremely important for us. During this period, we were seriously watching public reactions; we were conducting various researches; according to all available data, common opinion was quite positive.

One Brand One Company

Exactly two years ago Geocell changed its color having been presented to the public with different symbol and soon the purple boom covered the entire country. This symbolic refurbishment was a part of a large-scale campaign, which was related to rebranding. Geocell, as the member of TeliaSoneras strong group, successfully implemented its purple refreshment. So, by its refreshed brand Geocell continued to be at your service with the same traditions and values and a strong feedback of international experience. The refreshed brand has exactly reflected the companys corporate values: To be a modern local mobile communication company; To be the pioneer on the Georgian telecommunication market introducing modern technologies and offering diverse services to the consumers; To be an integral part of Georgian life in the sphere of economic development and social responsibility. Today this successful refreshment has been followed by its logical development and 18 leading companies operating in Scandinavian and Baltic countries of TeliaSonera Group united under one brand. By this, TeliaSonera took one important step in the history of its existence with the common symbol representing the unity of the leading telecommunication companys international authority and the local values.

A lot of smiles, fun, happy faces, adults returning to the childhood Is not it possible to make at least one day in the childrens town Mziuri founded by Nodar Dumbadze like the writer was dreaming about? His dream came true in 2006 and since then childrens town Mziuri has been hosting childrens festival I Can See the Sun. An initiative group led by Ana Goguadze is the author of the idea and the organizer of the festival. This year Geocell also joined the festivity of the sun celebrated for already the sixth consecutive year. As you know, the company is an active supporter of Ana Goguadzes projects. Everything started from one ordinary day, when the project organizers decided to make the children visiting Mziuri feel themselves in a fairy-tale. Just therefore, the festival is open for everybody and this festive day is designed for all children, despite their social, physical or mental abilities. This year the event had special guests, including the children from the Surami and Momavali Orphanages as well as all those children, whose parents did not hesitate and joined the Sun Festival together with their children. Each corner and area of Mziuri Town was specially decorated for this day. A lot of purple balloons and various solemn purple details indicated that Geocell was also participating in the common festivities. The current event had two major goals: to promote the integration of children without parents and with disabilities into the society and to take care for the childrens town Mziuri so that to turn it into the place of Nodar Dumbadzes dreams childrens town. As it seems, each person should deal with a severe illness in order to analyze his entire life and to pass the same road again, with a steady mind the essence of the law (of eternity) is that the human spirit is much heavier than the body; it is so heavy that one person cannot carry it. Therefore, until we are alive, we should support each other and try to immortalize the spirits of each

other; you should immortalize my spirit, I should immortalize yours, others should do it in respect of others and so on, to ensure that we do not become orphans after the death of those others and not to stay alone in this world Nodar Dumbadze (The Law of Eternity). Just based on these appeals, the organizers and partners of the festival dedicate the 1st of June to the smallest citizens of our country and Mziuri turns into the town of dreams for them. Among the June 1 events in our capital, the Sun Festival has no analogs in terms of its scales, significance or contents. This project is quite different because it makes everybody, both adults and children happy. During this day there is no difference between the children lacking or enjoying family care. Everybody is unusually equal on this day children with disabilities and absolutely healthy children. The warmth of the sun unites everybody and makes them happy at least for one day. The gathering at the Sun Festival started from the midday. A lot of children and their parents witnessed a very colorful show and felt themselves in a real fairy-tale. Characters of various fairy-tales walking on the territory of Mziuri, children with painted faces, drawings exhibited by the childrens studio Akandus on a theme I Can See the Sun, asphalt painted by colorful chalks all this was creating a common fun. The amphitheater of Mziuri proved to be the most crowded place, where under the burning sun the children were carefully answering the questions around various fairytales asked by Duta from the stage. Geocell presented symbolic gifts to those who answered correctly. The solemn day was closed by a concert performed by a 123 studio. The applauses were replacing jazz compositions performed by small artists on various instruments. A big noise was heard from the specially decorated Town of Mziuri on June 1. Everybody could see the sun during that day and everybody was warmed up at the childrens celebration.

It is extremely difficult to gain a foothold and achieve a success, especially when you are kilometers away from your native country. Space is changing and you are moving to another dimension. Other culture, traditions, values and environment, which are quite different from those you perceived as your own during the whole life. The world is changeable and we are changing together with it. Under the conditions of globalization, when the world is lining up with the horizon and the countries are approaching each other, others become familiar to you. Adventurers are actively getting involved in the process starting to familiarize themselves with the strangers. The white road is crossing the world on a purple stones in various places and the members of the large family are visiting each other. The road from Tian Shan to Himalaya Mountains we will tell you about expats, who discovered the path moving to the success in Geocell; they went to the world of communication and managed to gain a foothold far from their usual environment, in a new space.

Life, success or failure of each person is more or less determined by his/her values and principles. Proceeding from my official duties, I have to hold a lot of interviews and I understood one thing if a person is a thinker and has a desire to develop, he/she will master and study everything. Respectively, labor and diligence are necessary to achieve success. You should develop on a daily basis and achieve your goals gradually. Life is like a mountain river; if you stop, it will take you away and make you step back; therefore, you should go ahead and struggle with the flow. I appeared in Geocell quite unexpectedly. First, it was the Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University. After graduating from the classical philology faculty, I went to the Kekelidze Institute of Manuscripts. It was just what I was dreaming about. Though, the events developed in Georgia in the nineties hampered the realization of my dreams. The issue was solved quite easily I should have chosen other sources of keeping a family. So, I started to work for one of the international humanitarian organizations as a staff and administrative assistant. It was the road towards a new professional career. During the consequent six years I worked for three various similar organizations. In July 2000 I surprisingly received two separate proposals from two organizations one was the Red Cross and the

other - Global. The latter should have provided subscriber services to the company Geocell and to the newly established GSM operator GT Mobile. The two companies merged in 2001 and I was appointed the Coordinator at Human Resources and Administrative Department of the company Geocell. I acquired a huge knowledge and experience in Geocell. Previously, I had no academic education in the HR sphere, where I still work, only some work experience and short-term trainings. But everyday practical experience, problems and the search of ways of their duly solution with this combination I acquired those skills, which I would not be able to acquire in any higher educational institution. The life of experts was always attracting me. After eight years spent in Geocell I got a unique opportunity I was invited to Uzbekistan as an expert. I felt that time for changes has come, when you should move from one place to another and look for something new; I arrived in Tashkent in early July 2008 and started to work as the deputy director general of the company Ucell in charge of staff issues. The first year was very difficult because of several factors and first of all the unfamiliar environment. We have much in common with Uzbekistan, common past in the Soviet Union. But still this is another environment; it is the East with different culture, traditions, and imaginations. I will never forget the first month, when I and other employees of my department were looking at each other with frightened eyes. For them I was a new chief, while I had a lot of questions who are they and what kind of behavior do they expect from me? You try to ensure that nobody notices your weakness, to be self-confident and assertive. Now, we smile while remembering it, though this is the stage, which everybody should pass through, when he/she enters a new environment. The fact that I appeared in Ucell during the most important changes was yet another difficulty. TeliaSonera purchased an operator in Uzbekistan, which was functioning in the country for already 10 years. We, the new management, should have changed this old company completely, the culture of their life, the rules of their life and relations, absolutely everything. It is much difficult to change the old than to build something new. Changes meant staff changes too that was already my duty. I compare this process with a surgery, which you do not want to undergo though it is irreversible. A part of the employees was rather skeptical and they did not believe in success. It was my personal pain to dismiss the employees because I was turning their lives upside down, with your rules in the new environment and so that not to trigger any negative consequences of course, it was the most difficult period. Almost three years have passed since I came to Ucell and today it is obvious that everything, what we, the management, did

together, was the only true way. Number of subscribers increased 10 fold (we started with about 700 000 subscribers and today we have over 8 million subscribers); respectively, our market share increased three times, while incomes were increasing at least 40% per year. The reforms implemented by us yielded good results. Today, Uzbekistan is a modern, secular state, but people take care of their traditions too. One of such interesting traditions is morning pilaf, which is served to celebrate all important events in Uzbek peoples life. The ritual usually starts at 5am, after the first morning prayer. The pilaf is cooked in a huge cooking pot, Kazan, and only the men are invited. A lot of people gather, probably over 1000 it certainly depends on the economic status of the host family. But the more guests are the better. During the pilaf cooked to celebrate a wedding you will also meet musicians and national instruments. I have attended such weddings several times. It is very impressive, when the couple enters the hall, where a solemn table is laid, with the sounds of karnai and surnai (Uzbek trumpets). The dowry of a bride certainly includes some national clothes. For a definite period of time these clothes should be exhibited in a separate room in the fiancs family. Then, they are folded up and kept for future generations. This is how a tradition is transferred to future generations. It was 2008 when I first arrived in Tashkent. I had a strange feeling it seemed as if I appeared at home. It may seem exaggerating but I really felt there at home a clean city, a lot of greenery, calm streets, few cars, calm, well-wishing people Tbilisi of the eighties. I did not find it difficult to get accustomed to the city. I know what I will lack later most of all much sun and cloudless sky. There is a dry continental climate in Uzbekistan; during the most period of the year there is the cloudless blue sky and the shining sun, which fills you with joy. It is very hot in summer, but nevertheless it is good, because otherwise, there would be no such shining, bright colors. There is nothing better than walking in Bukhara and Khiva, especially in early spring and late autumn, when you have a strange feeling of getting in touch with the past. I managed and traveled to the great part of Uzbekistan; but it is not enough and I continue traveling. What impressed me most of all in Uzbekistan is a bazaar. A famous Alay Bazaar astonished me very much this is a great exhibition hall. Generally, a bazaar is an integral part of eastern culture; a covered market with a small fountain in the center, from where everybody takes water; one can buy everything here bread, sweets, fruits, vegetables, nuts, etc. I thought that the Alay Bazaar is a historical place, it is a demonstrative bazaar and that is why it is so well tended. After I settled down in Uzbekistan, I visited a lot of markets both in Tashkent and in the regions. All of them are extremely beautiful and clean.

In spring and autumn it is especially pleasant to sit down on an external terrace of any caf. Recently, we became frequent guests of karaoke bars. By the way, they have a positive influence on your mood. We rent a separate room with the relevant apparatus and shout as much as possible; neither ear, nor voice matter here; it helps us get rid of tension and bad temper. I spend most of my time with Valeria. She is our chief accountant, a very good-humored and interesting person. I do not remember how we first made friends. I think, it was our love to coffee that brought us together people here mostly drink tea rather than coffee. Anyway, liters of coffee drunk at the restaurant located on the last floor of our office made us real friends. We have much in common and much different and this makes our relations more interesting. We get up and go mountaineering one day simply to stay in silence. It is good when being silent with another person makes you feel comfortable. Luckily, I also made friends with some Georgians. I rented my first flat in Tashkent in the house of the fifties, which had a large yard with a lot of trees. A small dog was running in this yard all day long. Kiki, Kiki the children were calling it. Kiki received me as a host and we made friends quite soon. During the terrible 2008 August developments, after the working day I was running to the Georgian Embassy to learn something new. Besides me, several other Georgians were also coming there. Among them there was Gia Tandashvili. He asked me whether I needed any help, whether I found a normal flat. I started to explain where I lived, about my yard and he asked me: Is a dog running there in the yard? I answered: Yes, Kiki. And what? He told me that Kiki was his dog. So, this is how I got acquainted with Gia and his wife, Inga Duduchava. It was a great happiness for me, because you need to speak your native language like air. Later I got acquainted with another couple Sasha Kveladze and Mzia Kharchilava, the friends of Gia and Inga, who were working for the Red Cross project in Tashkent for already two years. Later Sasha and Mzia returned to Tbilisi and I regret about it, but this is life. Once we will all settle down in Tbilisi and continue our pleasant joint evenings there. Until then, there is still calmness in my yard. I still take pleasure in walking in Bukhara and Khiva and I still go mountaineering when I need silence. The river of life is still flowing down from the mountain with the silence on its peak. You should keep step with it to avoid that it takes you away, but at the same time you should not stay on top because the life will pass you, and then you will not be able to distinguish silence from noise, because there will be no choice between them. It is difficult not to be a philosopher in the East

This book is being written far, very far away from my country, but the thoughts do not know either distance or time. It worries you constantly wherever you may be or however you may feel yourself, because this main thing is a thought and you cannot run away from it. However, you do not know how you will name it and probably it does not matter. Most important is that it worries you and you cannot distance yourself from that small part of the world that is called your native country and your native land. This thought is following you constantly wherever you may be and however you may feel yourself and you compare everything with your small country, your people, rules and traditions, rivers and mountains Everything started from this book, the book which Davit Turashvili wrote upon his return from the Himalaya Mountains. After reading Kathmandu I got some imagination about the country, while some time later I got closer to this feeling expressed by the author. Many people are still astonished when they ask me Keti, where are you? and I answer that I am in Kathmandu. This may be surprising but I really am in Nepal for already 18 months. And this time has passed so quickly that I am sometimes asking myself whether I really stay here for already 18 months. Why Nepal?Several years ago we received a message in the company Geocell that TeliaSonera purchased operators on new markets. Proceeding from my impatient nature I got interested in it and started to clarify what was going on in these countries. Nepal seemed most interesting to me. In terms of business, the market was great and attractive. At the same time, its amazing culture, traditions and nature realized dreams of adventurers! Shortly speaking, I achieved my goal and found myself in Nepal Before making a decision I had an opportunity to arrive in Kathmandu for three days I remember the first cultural shock even today; during these three days I wrote hundreds of SMS to my friends saying: You have not seen Asia and do not know what it means. I lived in a fashionable hotel during three days and I have not eaten almost anything I was afraid to touch anything I was washing my hands and face in every 5 minutes Two days later the emotions started to decline. I tried to see the positive side of everything. I visited a lot of places and made sure that its possible to live here On the third day I returned to Tbilisi. I had not received a final decision. I was thinking on my way back that if I felt in Tbilisi that I was interested in all these and I could live there - I would return back. I was waiting for transit in Doha and I made a decision I should return at least to see the Himalaya Mountains! So, the changes have started. For the first time I discovered a

lot of colors, which the Nepalese are so proud of. Everest, or Sagarmth in Nepalese and Jomolungma in Tibetan languages out of ten 8000m peaks of the Himalaya Mountains, eight are situated on the territory of Nepal. Due to it, Nepal is familiar to the entire world. Buddhist temples, which start from the birthplace of Buddha, Lumbini, are scattered in various places of Nepal. A lot of solemn days related to Buddha are celebrated throughout the country. Public walking starts from early morning and the city is sinking in the flowers and scents. The Nepalese inherited the ancient rituals from their ancestors. The Nepalese have many more gods than the days during a year. Their greatest nationalreligious holidays are Dashain and Tihar festivals of Nepal late autumn holidays, which last for five days. The Nepalese people go to their temples to celebrate this day; they visit each other and cook various traditional dishes. They also perform their religious rituals. During one of the most beautiful Holi Festival days, young or old people mingle and exchange colors in the street If you walk in the street during that period, you will certainly become their victim. You will not see the colors of ornaments depicted on your wrist somewhere else. It is said that the whiteness of the Himalaya Mountains gives them more brilliance. Radisson Hotel and its yard are seen from the window of the Nepalese house And a wedding is being celebrated in the yard, a real Nepalese wedding. I can observe the cars decorated with flowers, how the young couple and their relatives are dancing in the yard Frequently, especially in the first months, I had arrived there without invitation and attended such ceremony The view from the window revives again during the tourist seasons, when there is such fun in Sky Bar that I have a discothque even at home. Everything is shining so much and everything is decorated so beautifully that you will cheer up even if you are in low spirits. Although Nepal is bordering with two fastest growing countries, which actually moved the center of the earth gravity from the West to the East, Nepal continues its calm and free life. The Nepalese like talking and noise; they have large families, have relations with about 1000 relatives and are together at any occasion. What is most important, all these people are called a sister, brother, uncle or cousin, though they may be distant relatives of their grandmothers or grandfathers or simply their acquaintances. This is a tradition, which brings them into closer contacts with each other. I manage to look into the window quite rarely; that is why each new view is so interesting and diverse. Time is running so quickly

from week to week that I cannot even look back. This is already another window and another view. One more Nepalese tradition continues here as soon as a new expat arrives, he/she is received in the family and familiarized with the local situation. Everything happens in a solemn atmosphere. I acquired several closest and best friends in Nepal. As far as the Nepalese or local friends are concerned, I believe that if it were not them, it would be impossible to work here. Each day is extremely interesting and cheerful with them, especially in the marketing and commercial department, where the locals have their special vision. Each meeting and conference is very interesting and cheerful. You know for sure that the day will be interesting and I will not have time for melancholia. During 18 months I have already changed the third position in the marketing department that is not usual for me but it

was necessary for business. A year ago there were only four employees in the marketing department and we had 2 million subscribers. Today, our number increased to 15 and we have over 5 million subscribers When you do something and see the results of your work, motivation and enthusiasm are increasing significantly. One of the first and important projects, which we implemented in Nepal, was rebranding. We were working twentyfour-hours. Probably the success started from here. Consumers accepted new brand quite positively. Purple color was established in the city. Purple clothes were seen in the windows of the shops. All newspapers were writing about us. Nature also supported us and made a purple tree, which grows only in Nepal, blossom. Everything developed in favor of us both subscribers and revenues increased simultaneously. This is for the third month already that I hold the position of marketing director. This is probably one of the most interesting and responsible positions. Besides a lot of various projects, which we have implemented until now, we plan a lot of novelties, which will increase the popularity of our products and the brand. Most important is a correct marketing strategy, which will promote a long-term growth of the company. We are working on a daily basis to become a market leader with firm positions, to achieve high popularity of the brand, best service centers and realization network I believe in the slogan, which is always helpful on the way towards success love the job, which you are doing and believe in what you are doing, and success will come by itself. The great Himalaya Mountains are achievable. I remember that during one unforgettable day we travelled to one of the largest cities of Nepal Pokhara, which in the south borders with Phewa Lake with the mountains and the most beautiful views around it. This is where one of the most beautiful parts of the Himalaya Mountains, Annapurna opens. The car was driving in a vertical condition; an abyss was seen from my window. Then we passed through the small settlements and went up a long stair to get to the destination. But it was worth doing in order to see what we have seen there. Purple clean sky, blue mountains and the sun the most memorable day in my life. I live in the capital of Nepal, Kathmandu. The Himalaya Mountains are covering everything here. When they ask me - Keti, when will you arrive? - I have no answer I will stay here unless everything becomes boring

You can even write a poem about the green glass of the Bosporus; you can simply see it and the muse of poetry may fascinate you. But it happens at a glance. Then you enter the depth of Turkey and the greatest eastern fairy-tale is opening in front of you; from one narrow street, which is divided into turnings, you move to a large square, then again turnings and winding paths. You will meet the shadows of once glorious Ottoman Empire in modern buildings. The past has taken away those old wooden houses. Though, the main thing has remained spirit and scent! The modernity built on the ruins of the empire has a sweet smell diluted with various creams and essential oils. I love Istanbul very much. I have visited this city for several times before, but I could have never imagined that I would have had to move to this city. Life is a surprise. This is the city, where sights and novelties are never exhausted. It is developing very quickly and sometimes I think that it is outrunning the time. I recollect Orhan Pamuks pen paintings, which he describes in his book Istanbul: Memories and the City. Sometimes, I feel the poetic essence of the city, which is felt in the remains of the imperial glory and historical monuments, with special sharpness and unavoidable melancholy. I imagined that it was me, only me, who managed to catch this essence. And I was telling myself proudly, I would be able to see Istanbul! I think how much will it take a person to see Istanbul?! It is over a year that I am staying in Istanbul. I am working as the Brand Manager for TeliaSonera Eurasias Head Office. This is a great progress in my professional career. A new stage has started in my life after spending 10 years in Geocell. I moved from the position of international roaming coordinator to the Marketing Department. I was leading Geocell re-branding upon completion of which I guessed what real success was. The entire period was not enough to view and feel this city. I used this period for deepening and developing my professional experience. I have a very interesting job, which at the same time is very hard and full of responsible. There are 7 countries in TeliaSonera eurazia group, Georgia being one of them. Every country is different by its culture, stsaus of development and perspectives of

future growing. It makes my job with them even more interesting. Besides brand management I am at the head of marketing researches, which helps me study different markets for planning the futher strategic projects. The first stage envisaged learning the Turkish language. It happened itself. The sounds acquired familiar sonority and I guessed that I was already apprehending the words. I understand better than I speak. Do you know how invitation sounds in Turkish? - hogeldin! But you should utter it, or hear it in the most diverse place of the world the Istanbul Bazaar. The famous Grand Bazaar in Turkish Kapalar is still preserved. Built in 1461, it is located in the place of former Byzantium. It covers over 4400 counters, 2200 rooms, mosques, bath houses and 200 fountains. Presently, this is the largest market throughout the world, which is located on 200 thousand square meters. You will meet here everything from eastern sweets to various spices. An entire long row of antiquities offers you handmade golden and silver jewelry; the world famous Turkish rugs, handmade ceramics, leather goods everything in one large space; one day in the Istanbul Bazaar is a real adventure! If the above mentioned will still leave you indifferent, you will not be able to bypass one special row, which is divided into two green and white, but if you approach wattled baskets, bags and pots, you will discover a lot of various spectrum of one color. Sunk in green, you will taste a real tea, while whiteness covers those candies which are famous throughout the world. The Turkish people are telling a legend about Rahat Locum like a tasty delight: A sultan lived in Istanbul in XVIII century, who loved candies very much. The confectioners in his palace were doing their utmost to cook something special and extraordinary. However, they failed to delight their sultan. Ali Muhiddin Haci Bekir chose a simple way. He mixed water, sugar, corn starch, and almonds and cooked them up; then he poured the mixture into a flat pan slicked with almond oil, and let it cool. Then he sprinkled it with powdered sugar, cut it into bite-sized chunks and served them to the sultan. The latter was fascinated. It is said that the Sultan specially kept these chunks in his box. You will definitely take this Turkish delight put on golden trays from the Bazaar. Then, looking from the balcony you will cast a glance at sleeping Istanbul and see the shadows again, the shadows of once glorious Ottoman Empire, which give a special spirit to the city! This is the first unforgettable impression! I am approaching Istanbul and hogeldin! Greetings from Istanbul!

Seven improvised hours pass very quickly; however, time is lost in lines, ideas and new characters. Seven hours are not enough to create a literary masterpiece, though it is quite enough to express the idea of this masterpiece. A new legend is being created during seven hours; then a new face of the legend is revealed and new names are introduced to you. But what is it time when after completion of seven hours more than seven new handwritings are left. Literary seconds take us to particular time in order to put new ideas on paper. This time, the place will be full of air. A space will be added to the land of ancient Ikalto and clear horizon, which unites Ilias native mountains and a glassy surface of the Kvareli Lake the space, where muses are waiting for beginning writers. This year a student literary competition Autumn Legend will be held for the third time. It has a short though impressive history. The competition is a joint project co-sponsored by the Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University and the company Geocell. Each year we select the place where the beginning writers create their improvised works. In 2009 the competition was held at the Ikalto Monastery; last year the contestants gathered on the Kvareli Lake to test their creative capabilities. Autumn Dwellers reach any dream with their pens; they make all dreams come true on paper; they are magicians of the literary world. You are not familiar with them, because they are standing at the beginning of the road. Our goal is to connect this road to you. The achievements made during past two years incited the organizers of the competition to expand its scales. Under the aegis of the Tbilisi State University the student competition will expand its scales and cover all higher educational institutions accredited in Tbilisi. This decision can be explained by a huge interest of students in this competition. Messages sent by students to the competitions special electronic address proved their desire to get involved in the competition. Furthermore, the students registered on Facebook had an opportunity to express their opinions and express readiness of involving other higher educational institutions. For future growth and development of the competition, as well as for more and active involvement of students, by decision of the organizers, a local literary competition of the Tbilisi State University should turn into a large scale student event. In 2011 new faces and new names will be discovered outside the limits of the white monument. The students from nine higher educational institutions will try to leave their handwritings in the history of the competition. The venue of the competition will be specified on the day of its announcement, while the competition will start on the first day of the studies. Last year rowing Anikis boat on the Kvareli Lake brought a victory to its author. Who will replace Aniki?!

iRbliani abonenti Lucky Subscribers

Owing to various innovations and recent advertisement campaign you would have apparently noticed that Geocell has outrun the time. A slight mysticism combined with reality is the companys successful strategy. The raffle, which was broadcasted live by Rustavi 2 TV on March 15 - the day celebrating Geocells 14-year anniversary would have assured you of it. The interior of the studio looking like the galaxy and decorated with the stars really created a mystic atmosphere, in which ten luckiest subscribers have traveled. I am sure that at that moment each of them really lost a sense of being on firm ground. During the event, all of them became the owners of new Hyundai Sonatas quite simply. We have told you in the previous edition that during the raffle the subscribers did not have to guess the figures. The subscribers had simply to dial *011# OK; those who underwent free registration and filled their balance by 5 GEL loaded an the accounted, gained a chance to win the lottery. The subscribers received 1 ticket for each GEL 5. All the ten lucky subscribers have an interesting history of winning the car; so, we will try to tell you in short how Geocell has changed the life of each of them. It is impossible not to believe in fortune, when you learn about the story of 16-year-old Tariel Ivanidzes victory. He had only one ticket and just the number of his mobile phone appeared in Dutas hands. Besides Tariel Ivanidze, who lives in Vani, one of his neighbors also appeared quite lucky. When Tariel Ivanidze learnt about his victory, he went out to the neighbors gathered outdoors to congratulate him on his victory, threw the key of his old Volga and shouted: It will belong to whoever catches it. 18-year-old Maria Apanasyeva from Moscow, who studies at the Tbilisi Black Sea University, could not believe that she won the car. But after she faced the reality, she had no other choice but to start thinking about how to obtain a driving license. 27-year-old Akaki Sabashvili is from Kvareli and he had just returned from Europe. Before departure he used Geocell network and upon return to his native country he again became a Geocell subscriber. And Geocell appreciated his devotion. Nine cars were already raffled and Akaki almost had no hopes for victory, when suddenly he heard Dutas voice in this mobile phone. It is already for the second time that Tariel became a winner of Geocells raffle. In the first case, he lost a chance to win a car five years ago, though he won a TV set. Tbilisite Natalia Gurgenashvili is 28 years old and she also had little hopes that she would win. Though, she had collected 11 tickets. March proved extremely lucky for her. It seems that she is very lucky. Last year her office held a raffle and Natalia won a car there too. This

year, owing to Geocell, she became the owner of another car. 26-year-old Avtandil Bashanidze from Batumi had an old model of Hyundai Sonata. He had only three tickets. It was just his number, which Duta named at the beginning of the raffle. He got so nervous that he could not even answer Duta; he only managed to say his name He has never won anything and he vefxvia qoroRliSvili Vepkhvia Koroglishvili could hardly believe in it. 17-year-old Rusudan Shvelidze is a wouldbe-student. While filling a balance, she had not even thought about winning anything. She even failed to watch TV because she was doing her lessons. Though, she cast a glance at the raffle and was going to leave when Duta took out a number similar to hers You probably remember a TV program Vabank, which was hosted by Duta. It turned out in live broadcast Tengiz gordiaSvili Tengiz Gordiashvili that Rusudan was one those girls (number 4), who participated in the program. Hyundai Sonata is her first car. 25-year-old Vepkhvia Koroglishvili from Tsavkisi lost his voice from screaming too much that evening. He had 16 tickets but he had not even thought about victory. He says that Geocell has made him happy in a couple of minutes. Tbilisite Tengiz Gordiashvili works for the konstantine dmitrievi Konstantine Dmitriev social service. After this fact his colleagues believed in the frankness of Geocells raffle. He was snoozing when Duta awakened him with pleasant news. He is extremely grateful to Geocell for such gift. Tbilisite Konstantine Dmitriev is 30 years old. He had never participated in any raffle before. He got involved in this raffle indifferently and forgot quite soon that he underwent registration. When Duta called him in the course of the tariel ivaniaZe Tariel Ivanidze program, he could not understand what he was speaking about. After this conversation he continued his work at a computer. Though the telephone calls were not suspending, his friends were calling to congratulate him on his victory. It was just then when he realized what had happened. He never used to have a car and owing to Geocell his dream came true. Zhana Tsurtsumia is from Chkhorotsku. She had only one ticket. Therefore, she was worJana wurwumia rying about her friend, who had collected 24 Zhana Tsurtsumia tickets for the raffle. It was so difficult for her to believe in her victory that she even told Duta: If it is really you, just wave your hand from the screen! She says that she has never had such happy minutes since the birth of her children. If you want to try your fortune and receive Geocells pleasant surprises, be active subscribers.

Give an Hour to the Earth

By Maia Tsetsadze
The recent natural calamities have confirmed that the resources of the earth are not firm enough. It is said that global progress is accompanied by the threats of global catastrophes. At a glance, a human being seems quite weak against the laws of nature but if we understand that each of us can at least slightly mitigate this negative impact on the earth, it will not be bad at all. The initiative to save the earth was first voiced in Sydney in 2007 when over two million offices cut electricity for an hour. Soon this idea turned into an event with global significance. In 2008, 50 million people from 370 towns of 35 countries got involved in the Earth Hour campaign. Since then, number of countries and people participating in this campaign has increased significantly. Turn your lights off for an hour, switch off all electric appliances and give an hour to the earth! This is the third year already that our country joined this campaign, during which people traditionally unite at the Sheraton Metechi Palace Hotel to celebrate this day. Traditionally, the company Geocell again supported the Earth Hour campaign this year. Like the entire world, a global event organized by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) was held in Georgia at 20:30 21:30 on March 26. This year the event was again sponsored by Sheraton Metechi Palace Hotel, Radio City FM 101.9 and Geocell. It should be noted that the Earth Hour is largely supported by over 100 hotels of Europe, Africa and Central Asia. In Georgia, this day was celebrated in candlelight. Electricity was turned off for an hour, while a live concert of Geostar contestants proved extremely romantic in candlelight. The guests invited to the event as well as those who spontaneously joined the evening symbolically tasted green cocktails. Besides Sheraton Hotels in Tbilisi and Batumi, this year Radisson and Marriott hotels also joined the calls to save the earth. Nino Isakadze, marketing manager of Sheraton Metechi Palace Hotel, indicated that about 300 employees of the hotel switched off electricity even at their homes for an hour. The organizers of the event plan to further increase the number of participants in future. It would be excellent if we take into consideration goodwill of millions of people throughout the world and switch off electricity for an hour once a year to express our symbolic support to the environment and our planet!

When you have been falling asleep under the noise of a combing machine and a spinning wheel since your childhood, when you have been looking at your mother and grandmother making a rug, it is probably natural that you have a great desire to study and continue this activity. Lili Murtazashvili mastered how to make a Tushetian rug even before she learnt reading and writing. Since then, she has been trying to revive the Tushetian multi-century traditional activity, which is almost on the verge of forgetting. Tusheti, the ancient mountainous region of Georgia, has preserved extremely rich traditions of old culture. Tushetian rug is distinguished by its color, quality and ornaments After traveling to Georgia long ago, one of the German professors wrote a monograph, in which he notes that Tushetian wool is unique worldwide, as it cures over 20 diseases and ideally regulates rise and decrease in the temperature. The idea of restoration and development of traditional Tushetian rug struck Lili Murtazashvili long ago. With the help of Rustavi 2 TV project, she used her one chance and received money from Geocell. Lili Murtazashvili tried her fate in 2006 through participating in the program Idea, Money and One Chance aired by Rustavi 2 TV. As a result, her project was financed by CEO of Geocell, Osman Turan. With the support of Geocell, Lili Murtazashvili managed to combine business activity with Tushetian culture and even expanded her production. A group of seven people was expanded by 70 more employees. Since then, a flow of tourists has increased in Tusheti. Since 2006 the following festivals have been held under Geocells sponsorship: Tushetian Rug; Colors of Pirosmani; Following the Steps of Tushetian Rug, etc. During the tourism exhibition held at an Expo Georgia exhibition center in April, Lili Murtazashvili presented a stand, where she exhibited her own rugs. The purpose of this exposition was to support tourism development in Georgia. Geocell has much contributed to Lili Murtazashvilis participation in the exhibition. Lili Murtazashvilis family hosts a public festival annually. In order to popularize a Tushetian rug, the company Geocell always supports Lili Murtazashvili and, generally, this mountainous region of Georgia. As you know, lack of communication was the greatest problem for Tushetian shepherds. Geocell settled this problem in the region. Lili Murtazashvili says that Geocells slogan We do not give up our traditions! fits her project most of all.

Nikoloz Rurua, Minister of Culture and Monument Protection of Georgia Generally, I think that any artistic undertaking should be free of any taboos. These are brave works, which, I can say boldly, will take a remarkable place in European culture. On the other hand, what we have discovered in Gigo Gabashvilis photo negatives is extremely important for us, in terms of cultural heritage. In future, we want to properly introduce this interesting artist to Europe. We also plan to release an album.

Public excitement caused by a large scale and innovative exhibition of paintings by a famous Georgian painter, Gigo Gabashvili held this spring has not abated yet. The question is about the project Gigo Gabashvili as a Photo Artist sponsored by the Georgian newspaper, Prime Time, and supported by the Geocell. Let us remind you that in frames of the project, the canvases, personal belongings and photos of the famous painter were exhibited at the Rustaveli Theatre during one day. The project authors mostly focused on Gabashvilis previously unknown photography, which is related to the discovery and processing of glass photo negatives. I was preparing the materials about Gigo Gabashvili for Prime Time. As it turned out during a conversation with a researcher, Gogi Sarajishvili, all famous canvases by the painter were being created on the basis of the photos taken by him and these photo negatives were kept somewhere till now. Five months later I discovered over centuryold glass negatives in the depository of the National Museum of Georgia. I had no guarantees that they would have any artistic value; I simply trusted my intuition and took them to the National

Tea Telia, painter Probably, I cannot say anything new about Gigo Gabashvili and his creative work. Simply, I will try to express my attitude towards him in several sentences: Before visiting the exhibition, for me, as for a painter, his painting was uninteresting. Though, as for a Georgian painter, his activity was important. After viewing the exhibits I can say that he is a painter of worldwide importance a painter, who created the works adequate for his period and actual not only for his country.

Museums Ermakov laboratory for processing. After experimental processing, firstly two negatives were sent to me via e-mail. I will never forget how a high resolution photo was opening in my computer, where each grass culm and pebble was depicted extremely clearly. It appeared to be a photo taken in Samarkand, where the children were dancing in the field, Marita Damenia, the project author, recollects. A total of 687 glass negatives were discovered at the museums depository. Naturally, the painter, who was working on portraits, landscapes, multi-figure compositions, who was mastering battle painting at St. Petersburg Art Academy and composition at Munich Art Academy, who traveled to Central Asia, Western Europe and Georgian mountainous regions (Khevsureti) would have certainly turned to nature photography. As a result, along with esthetic photos, his camera lenses caught extremely rich ethnographic materials (characters, geographical places or the XIX century clothes). Piquant photos of naked models proved most unexpected and effective. As known, after enrollment in the Munich Art Academy in 1894, Gigo Gabashvili, as a talented artist, was awarded with a scholarship and a separate workshop with a model. Probably, the majority of his erotic photos would have been created during that period. The Ministry of Culture of Georgia and Mr. Nikoloz Rurua [the Minister], the National Museum of Georgia and the Tbilisi City Council have much contributed to the project implementation. The negatives were cleaned, processed and their electronic versions created. The project was presented by Geocell. As a result, a large scale exposition was created and a small hall of the Rustaveli Theatre was allocated for it. The painters personal belongings, paintings and graphics, and what is most important, his unique photos were respectively exhibited in three exhibition halls. The fourth hall was allocated for showing a documentary about the painter specially shot by Goderdzi Sharashia for this project. Unfortunately, the exhibition lasted only for one day, because the space,

It is a very important project. It concentrates top level painting, interesting ethnographic materials and main discovery unique photography.

which was designed for exhibiting such unique pieces of art, requires a huge responsibility in terms of their protection. Public interest was extremely huge and the calls are not still suspending with requests to repeat the exhibition. Naturally, the exhibition turned out to be as large scale, as Gigo Gabashvilis creative work was itself: the founder of still life, landscape and realistic school in Georgian painting, an excellent master of portraits and multi-figure compositions created a lot of interesting works. The most remarkable works of his painting belong to his famous Central Asian cycle. As a result of the painters traveling to the Central Asia in 1894, he created his wonderful sketches depicting the noisy streets and bazaars in Samarkand and Bukhara and realistically portraying a diverse life of the East. Following his visits to Pshav-Khevsureti in 1898, the famous Georgian painter, along with collecting ethnographic materials (weapons, costumes, vessels, etc.), created the brilliant canvases of the Khevsurian cycle, such as portraits of local Khevsurians and battle scenes. Each of his step or sketch is preceded by a natural photo taken by Gabashvilis photo camera. And this is the material proving the existence of the European level photography the Georgian photography of the XIX century. Discovery of negatives, their processing and arranging an exhibition is only the beginning. The next stages of the project will be much interesting. The next stage of the project envisages publishing of a high-polygraphic, bilingual (Georgian-English) album, which along with his famous paintings will include photo copies of his famous canvases, as well as the photos received from the negatives. Next year celebration of a 150-year anniversary of Gigo Gabashvili is planned that envisages organizing the days of the painter in Europe and the United States. Besides the fact that Europe will get acquainted with previously unknown, top class photo artist of the XIX century, it will finally put an end to the opinion established among the artistic circles that Gigo Gabashvili is a Russian orientalist. During the anniversary year it is also planned to rebury the famous painter from the Vake cemetery to one of the Pantheons of Tbilisi.

Woodstock, hippies, long hair, multicolored clothes, peace and love; then punk and disco; later the nineties and MTV generation. If anybody tries to characterize our modern years in a couple of words, he/she will say the following: polished mobile phones, iPods in the ears, flexible laptops, heads bowed towards them and eyes looking at a blue website. This is a generation of Facebook, whose symbol is communication and information two most social or humane phenomena. It may sound paradoxical, but if several years ago much was spoken about the problems of solitude and isolation of people belonging to the 21st century, today, owing to the tremendous social network, people cannot be alone. They share information with their families, friends, old classmates, new acquaintances, bosses, world stars, politicians, brands or companies; they know where they are, what they are doing, how they are enjoying themselves, how they spent the day and so on. As it is frequently said about Facebook, if Facebook were a country, it would be the third, most populated region as it has 600 million active users. I realized the omnipotence of Facebook when one of my acquaintances told me I think, that those persons, who are not registered on Facebook, do not exist at all. By this phase my acquaintance echoed the modern world particularly, he echoed the fact that virtual world is gradually becoming real and Facebook is becoming a place of our holidays, tragedies, discussions, entertainments and shortly speaking, our routine life. Facebook has really changed the rule of life of a lot of people. Probably just owing to this universal cultural influence, a traditional American edition TIME named Mark Zuckerberg, a 26-year-old founder of Facebook, among the most influential people in the world. Mark Zuckerberg did not hesitate to make a comment in his Facebook status: Being named as TIME Person of the Year is a real honor and recognition of how our little team is building something that hundreds of millions of people want to use to make the world more open and connected. I'm happy to be a part of that. In the history of the Person of the Year Zuckerberg is the second youngest person (the first is 25-year-old Charles Lindbergh, who won in 1927).

at his age, when she won this honorary title. Though, she was two weeks older than Mark by then. By the way, the Queen has recently joined Zuckerbergs social network. The fact that neither did cinematography manage to bypass Facebook is quite enough to make sure of the ultra-actuality of the social network. In October 2010, a famous film director, David Fincher dedicated a film Social Network, which won him the Golden Globe, to Facebook. However, Facebooks universality does not need so many assertions. Quite recently a baby born in Egypt on February 22 was named Facebook to immortalize the social networks important role, which it played during the Egyptian revolution. Or else, just look at the screens of your computers, and analyze the feelings, which arouse upon appearing small, red squares on the upper left side of the browser; what do you feel when your photo, status or comment is liked?! Probably, your Facebook is as native as your room?! And since this is so, since Facebook is a part of your life, now you can find your own network Geocell on Facebook and obtain there any information, which you were previously receiving from TVs you can learn about all novelties and offers of your network; get involved in Geocells competitions; ask questions; express your opinions and establish more active and closer communication with your native network. This modern form of communication significantly simplifies the cooperation between the company and consumers; the company becomes a real Facebook friend about whom you will learn everything during a day, with whom you can share your information or concerns. Obviously, each positive development has a lot of negative sides and Facebook is also accompanied by a severe criticism starting from addiction threats and ending with security concerns. However, Patrick Driessen responded to such criticism in the following way: Social media should improve your life, not become your life. Hence, in order to improve your life, Geocell - a supporter of novelties and a traditional mediator of communication - is on Facebook waiting for you to make communication with you easier and information more available. Join us! Anyway, we live in the epoch of wireless, cellular and social networks.

Svaneti

Permanently snowy immense mountain tops, Azali pastures, from where the midcentury towers are proudly looking over the most beautiful valleys with the clouds lying in the steep rocks. Here you will meet a lot of architectural monuments, places of worship and churches of middle feudal area, as well as mid-century unique frescos and coins, which are still kept in the local museum. It is situated in the Enguri and Tskhenistskali Valleys. The villages are located in the most beautiful green fields surrounded by pine forests, nut forests and fascinating mountains Shkhara, Ushba and Tetnuldi; Svaneti is inviting you. Only the names of offered tours are already enough to captivate you:

Tskhakvzagari-Koruldi Lakes-Mestia Mestia-Tsvirmi-Zhaveshi/Adishi Mestia Mazeri The latter route connects Mestia with the Becho community villages in the Dolra River basin. Along the route you can constantly see Ushba-Mazeri, one the most remote and strict mountain massive of the Caucasus Mountains. The route is the nearest one to Ushba. In frames of the tourist infrastructure rehabilitation program, Mestia infrastructure was expanded by a hotel Mestia, a hotel Svaneti, a caf, an Internet caf, bike rental service, petrol station, new routes developed by the Svaneti Tourist Center and a souvenir shop. Moreover,

in frames of the same program, a satellite antenna was installed in Mestia, which provides Internet services in Mestia. What do you need for a comfortable rest? Sightseeing and nature, plus comfort Svaneti is waiting for you. Sightseeing and excursions by ropeway; the most delightful views will open in front of you from the height of thousands of meters. Then you will ascend a mountain top and have a dinner there; if you stay there till the evening, you will see the stars sitting on the top of a tower. You will move down from the mountain by horse penetrate through the Georgian spirit and you will understand what has created such beauty. It will take you 1.5 hours from Mestia to get to the highest settlement in Europe, a small historical village of Ushguli, which is recognized by UNESCO as a world cultural treasure. We recommend you a horse route, which starts in the village of Zhabeshi of the Mulakhi settlement, moves to the South, crosses the rivers Mulkhura and Adishistskali watershed mountain system, and arrives at the village of Adishi; from there passing through the villages of Khalde and Iprali it moves to the Enguri Gorge and ends in Ushguli. The mentioned route will take you three days; forget urban environment, simply share and enjoy it. Ushguli is located at the bottom of the Shkhara Mountain. The road connecting with Lentekhi is opened only during three months a year, while during the remained period it is covered with snow. Locals in Ushguli will tell you a legend about Devis Nasheni this is a rock, which blocked the Enguri Valley as a result of which the village was flooding. Two noble rams moved from Ushguli and Kala and collided with the rock from the opposite corners, thus saving the village. Ushguli is famous with courageous hearts. Living at such height, under such strict conditions will easily scatter all fears. By visiting a free community, you will learn the price of a real freedom. Alpine fields are opening from the bottom of Shkhara and they are mostly snowy. Though in the hot summer days the brightest green color spreads over the entire valley and you can match up your shadow to those of immense mountains.

If you like a walking tour and want to merge with nature just visit Borjomi! The history of protected areas in Georgia starts from the middle ages. After a century-old turbulent history the protected area created by Mikhail Romanov was used for establishing the first National Park in the Caucasian region. The Borjomi-Kharagauli National Park is famous for its rich and diverse fauna species typical for Kolkheti and Caucasus; the territory of the National Park is rich in native forest and sub-alpine and alpine meadows of South Caucasus. Though, this is what you have already seen or heard about. We offer you a new picture, the end of spring, the period of rhododendron flowering. We select one of the existing nine tourist paths. This is a diverse path, which crosses the National Park from Likani to Marilisi and which is called Nikoloz Romanovs path. The tour will last for three days. You will spend nights in the tourist shelters of Lomis Mta and Sakhvrali. You can also choose the path passing from Atskuri to Marelisi. If you choose the Saint Andrew path, you will see the highest top of the National Park the Sametskhvario Mountain; if you are esthetes, we recommend you the panorama path it is a difficult, circular road with the most beautiful views from the Atskuri guard watch house to the Amarati tourist shelter; an inviolable forest path is awaiting you from the Niunisi guard watch house to the Zanavi guard watch house; the road from the Abastumani guard watch house to the Didmagala tourist shelter is called a path of the Zekari Pass. The Nakvalevi path will lead you to the Kvabiskhevi; moreover, there is a one-day information path for those, who want to view and study the Park. One more circular path passes through the Megruki River Gorge. The last official route passes across the black hill; it connects the Amarati and Lomis Mta tourist shelters and offers unforgettable sights. The surroundings of the National Park will attract those people, who love historical monuments and ancient legends. The BorjomiKharagauli National Park has the best tourist infrastructure. Besides comfortable shelters, there is a hotel in Marelisi (Kharagauli district of the Imereti Region). Just this place is a starting point for those willing to have a walking tour in the National Park.

Modern and old, reconstructed buildings, parks, squares, hotels, entertainment facilities, the boulevard rehabilitated by European architects Batumi is experiencing unusual infrastructural development. If you visited the white city last summer, a lot of novelties will be awaiting you this year. By decision of the local authorities, Batumi should reach a level of European resorts, comfortable and memorable for tourists. Adjara is one of the most beautiful places in the Black Sea region. The seaside line passes through various resorts. You certainly know the famous resorts as you probably take a rest on the blue coast quite frequently. And again there is a huge choice, but we will tell you about those two places, which you should visit by all means in order to replenish the reserves in a magic box of relaxation and recreation. Mtsvane Kontskhi (Green Cape), one of the most beautiful seaside resorts, is situated nine kilometers away from Batumi. The entire area is covered by greenery. A botanical garden is laid out on the most beautiful slopes of the cape. Though, still the sea is most important here. The cleft is landing from the height to the blue surface. You will have a feeling that the forest suddenly ends, and the sand sticks to your wet feet. Choose the damp marine subtropical climate and high mountainous Adjara. Three gorges Acharistskali, Gorjomistskali and Skhaltistskali in the western part of the Arsiani ridge, creates Khulo, while the Beshumi resort is situated in the alpine zone of Khulo. It reaches the height of 1900 meters above sea level. You will pass through the most beautiful Acharistskali Gorge, as well as view Acharistskali tributaries forming waterfalls in many places. In Beshumi you will see crystal clear air and learn how it is possible to see decolorized whiteness. Coniferous forest, which forms a belt for the resort, ionizes the air. It means that you will breathe so much air that you may miss the surface by millimeters. It is an unforgettable feeling. Comfort and calmness is created for you here. Believe that it is possible to swim in the crystal air.

Here is Everything for Real Rest

Lopota, Kvareli

We are in Telavi, turning to Kvareli. 4-5 more kilometers and we will stop at the Alazani Bridge. The very first turning in the left from the Telavi and Lagodekhi crossroad leads to Napareuli. Two more kilometers and here it is Lopota. Of course, you have heard about it, but it is high time to visit this small paradise in the midst of Kakheti. The territory of the complex provides all opportunities for the rest and entertainment. You can start with cool baths; enjoy watching the mountains rising on the horizon or go bike riding; then sit at the table laid with the tastiest dishes in the hotels Marani and taste the best wine. But before approaching the Marani, you will come across a small storehouse, where fishing rods, hooks, horse-hair and baits are kept. You probably guessed, did not you? Its time for fishing! If you have never entered into the water and seen the twinkling of golden fins, you will have the best chance to experience it. Supply yourself with the relevant equipment; there is a bridge at the coast, which leads into the water. You can settle down here. However, if you make your way by boat through the green surface you will find yourself in the midst of this magic world. Get free of urban noise and dust. You will have to forget about everyday problems for successful fishing in a beautiful and calm environment. Bream, striped perch and hybrid perch how does this sound to you? If you catch this fish, we may fulfill your desire to make this calmness endless and give you an opportunity to run away from the urban noise. After your fishing is over, trust me and move to the Kvareli Lake. You will not be able to see land balconies cut as an amphitheatre in Lopota. When you settle down in the Kvareli Lake Complex, you will go out from the room to the green grass, sit down in a wooden armchair and look at the rainbow of colors; a stripe of one color will fall into various rays; you will see a blue sky, green mirror surface and white mist, which steams up the mirror. You will forget that your goal is to have a rest; you will cast a glance at the entire territory and will certainly want to write a poem, which will be sounded either in the words, or in the melody that will awaken in you upon mentioning the Kvareli Lake. If the expectation has reduced the distance, only two hours separate you from what we have described.

Mountain Ballade

One of the highest roads of Georgia passes through the Abano Pass. As soon as you cross it, Tusheti will open in front of you. The population lives in the Birikvi, Dartlo, Parsma and Giriki Gorges for already several centuries. Some villages have already been deserted and this emptiness looks like an ethnographic museum. If you ascend the stone stairs, you will get to the wooden balcony, you will feel an onion smell and stop for a while it cannot be explained, but you will see the pictures of the past on this balcony, black and white photos will be revived and Tushetian clothes will become colorful. Everyday life has a smell of land and grass; you hear the voice of nature and here you wake up, move to that side of the balcony, which looks over the horizon; probably, you will not believe, but the most beautiful view open from each house; boundless valleys and lined land are seen from any places, though from various angles. You will find silence in a desert village and you will guess what the voice is, which the city has overgrown into the noise as a result of which you have forgotten a real natural voice. Lets start from Alvani; then Omalo-Shenako-Diklo; and leave Gometseri Gorge, Keselo castles and Dochu for the next day. The road is passing through the city of Telavi towards the village of Alvani, moving across the slopes of the Caucasus Mountains. The first village will be Omalo. Then, the route goes from Omalo to the village of Parsma crossing the territory of the National Park. Mountainous Tusheti, which is surrounded by mountain ridges and tops, is rugged by numerous gorges, the waters from which flow into the two major rivers of Tusheti Pirikitis Alazani and Tushetis (Gometsari) Alazani separated with the watershed of Makratela. Both Alazanis merge near the village of Shenako. This is the next stop. Tusheti Protected Areas cover Tusheti Strict Nature Reserve, Tusheti National Park and Tusheti Protected Landscape. Their total area is about 122,050 ha. Now imagine how such a huge territory can be viewed at a glance. It is enough to ascend any mountain top and Omalo-Diklo plain will open in front of you. You will move your eyes towards the Tsokalta-Kumelaurti plain and cast a glance at the confluence of mountain and plain. The green Tushetian rug will be replaced by open slopes. Now, look in this direction and you will see a Caucasian snowcock; a Caucasian black grouse lives in birch wood. Capra aegagrus (wild goat) is also here. Everything sounds extremely exotic and attractive, but be sure that nobody will be able to describe Tusheti better than your own feelings. You should see and feel it yourself. Family hotels are well-equipped in Tusheti. Though, we recommend you to take a tent and use special places in the protected areas to spend the night. If wild nature attracts you, nothing compares with the night sky in Tusheti. We also recommend you to take a helicopter on your way back. What you have already seen while being close to the land is more beautiful from the air. You will keep this picture in mind for a long time. Travel and make sure what the wealth which you possess is! Its Friday! Have you decided anything yet? ...

Palm d'or back to west

By Keto Giorgobiani
It is obvious that expressing any protest at the festival, the creation of which was already a protest action, will almost be envisaged by its agenda. However, compared to previous years, the 2011 Cannes International Film Festival passed in an undoubtedly calm atmosphere. The critics concerned about a shameful competition program and awarding ceremony of the Oscar a couple of months ago were pleasantly surprised in Cannes. To say nothing about the Oscar, the last year developments in Cannes triggered especially great pessimism among the cinema-lovers: the French beach and cinema world will remember May 2011 for a long time there is almost not a single person, who was not shocked at the decision made by American film director Tim Burton, who was Jury President for the Festival de Cannes. Awarding of less famous Thai film director, Apichatpong Weerasethakul with Palme d'Or (Golden Palm) prize caused bewilderment among western critics and more popularization of eastern cinematography, which has already turned into a trend recently. It should also be noted that along with Mr. Weerasethakul, Mike Leigh (with one of his best works Another Year) and Ken Loach (Route Irish) were also competing for this prize. In addition, the festival was opened with Ridley Scotts Robin Hood a legend about what was happening in Robins life before becoming an outlaw, or else unknown details from the life of the King of Sherwood Forest outlaws. This shameful return by Ridley Scott, which is yet another and already forgotten film in the wave of a well-observed tendency of western cinematography last spring (lets remember Alice in Wonderland filmed by Tim Burton, which returns already grown up Alice to the wonderland and like Ridley Scott, acquaints us with unknown but extremely monotonous details of the famous fairy tale), did not prove successful for the last year festival. But the audience in Cannes never expects the festival to be opened with a good film: as a rule, the festival, which is the greatest supporter of art house, opens with commercially justified and spectacular films. In 2011 this tradition was continued by Woody Allens Midnight in Paris, which as critics say, is distinguished only by the film directors name and the episode performed by First Lady of France, Carla Bruni. The failure of Allens

film, which enabled the audience to have a good sleep and brace up, was no surprise for anybody the last year work by the film director You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger was a creative necrology of an intellectual New Yorker, after which nobody was expecting any masterpiece from almost 80-year-old Woody Allen. However, if we judge by the remaining competition program, the 64th Cannes Film Festival was one of the most interesting and unexpected in its history. Unlike the last year, this year you would not hear anything about press representatives rising against the strict attendance rules, about the Ministry of Culture concerned about showing a politically incorrect film or about the unsatisfied organizers of the festival. It can be said that the Cannes Jury with Robert De Niro as the President got the tastiest piece: Pedro Almodvar, Aki Kaurismki, Dardenne Brothers, Terrence Malick, etc 20 contest films with 3 authors - Lars von Trier, Nanni Moretti and Dardenne Brothers (twice nominees) becoming the Palme d'Or winners. Actually, it was impossible almost till the last second to guess the results of the awarding it was not like the last year, when the audience was surprised by the results, but it happened largely because of several obvious favorites as nobody knew, who would take the main prize home: Dardenne Brothers or Finnish film director Aki Kaurismki. American Terrence Malick, a favorite of American and French film critics, was named as the third leader. Finally, Long Live Friendship! De Niros friend, Terrence Malick won the Palme d'Or for the best film of the 2011 Cannes Film Festival The Tree of Life. Turkish Nuri Bilge Ceylan's Once Upon a Time in Anatolia and the greatest favorites of the Cannes Film Festival, Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardennes The Kid With a Bike were awarded with the Grand Jury Prize. French actor Jean Dujardin won Cannes best actor award; as far as the best actress nomination is concerned everything starts here Cannes would not be Cannes if at least one small scandal did not take place there, and France would not be France, if the event passed there without any provocation! But after John Gallianos scandalous incident and after almost leading him to the guillotine, nobody expected that while speaking at a press conference in Cannes dedicated to the festival film Melancholy, Lars von Trier

would have admitted his sympathy for Adolf Hitler saying that I am a Nazi! An American actress, Kirsten Dunst, who got extremely nervous because of Triers remarks at the press conference, probably expected the removal of the film Melancholy from the list of festival films and public expulsion from Cannes rather than its awarding with Palme d'Or. But the fact is certain the star of The Virgin Suicides and Marie Antoinette as well as a girlfriend of Spiderman, Kirsten Dunst will be written in the film history as an actress owing Palme d'Or. We hope that this step simply means the strengthening of Cannes ideological line, the positions of apolitical, art house supporting festival; that Melancholy is such strong film, that its removal from the contest program despite of the film directors provocative remarks, would have been unfair. Otherwise, it is unclear, what has poor Galliano done and what a valid reason does Trier have? A sharp reaction of the festival in frame of politeness (the film director had to live the Cannes Festival) is also obscure, as its idea was a response reaction to the success of Nazi-propagandistic films: Cannes Festival is the result of the shock caused by the revival of the films shot by Leni Riefenstahl and Benito Mussolinis son in the late thirties in Venice. On initiative of the French Education Minister, a film festival was created aimed at competing with the Venice Festival and turning into the world apolitical cinematographic forum. The first festival was set to be held in 1939 and Louis Lumire agreed to be the president. Though, the World War II thwarted it and the event was first held in 1946. Since then, the festival is being held in May annually (with one exception in 1968 the festival was halted because of the May developments in Paris, when Louis Malle, Roman Polaski, Jean-Luc Godard, Claude Berri, Jean-Gabriel Albicocco and Claude Lelouch expressed their solidarity to the French student movement. The festival was not also held in 1948-1950 years because of financial problems.) The Festival is an apolitical no-mans-land, a microcosm of what the world would be like if people could make direct contact with one another and speak the same language, Jean Cocteau said. This is the Utopian line, which the Cannes Film Festival is following unlike Berlinale. Such insignificant details, like, for example, love to Hitler and Nazism, have nothing to do with Art for Arts Sake (or maybe, Art for Artists Sake?)!

You are always waiting for summer even when you are looking at a grey landscape beyond the window on a frosty winter day and trying to defeat a seasonal asthenia with a cup of aromatic tea, when you are walking in the street on a light spring day and the aroma of acacia flowers in the air fills you with optimism. This is quite natural, because summer is the period, which is associated with school holidays and the most careless and rare fun. You have an opportunity to forget about problems, everyday troubles and do what you had no time to do during the whole year. Some go to a sunny coast; others join Latin dance lessons or hurry away towards bookshelves, where so many new books have accumulated. Although building the plans for the summer is one of the most pleasant processes, very often they are hardly realizable. You may have decided firmly to learn 500 new Spanish words, but very often the autumn may come and your serious plans may remain unrealized. A surprise excursion in the mountains, running in the rain under the rainbow, a party at the friends summer cottage who can count, how many spontaneous events are hampering the realization of your plans built scrupulously a couple of months ago. Despite it, preliminary generation of ideas enables us to spend a diverse and interesting summer.

You want to buy something that will remind you of the excellent days spent in the summer, a thing that will interest both males and females during this season and this is a sleeveless shirt known in the United States colloquially as a wife beater. Besides the fact that this is the most fashionable item during this summer, it will enable you to experiment. During this season you can wear wife beater with sport or elegant trousers, free skirts, hippie clothes, etc. It is not traditionally white any more. We have viewed monochromic and bright colors, with inscriptions, painted in various manners. You can watch the development of interesting ideas in the collections of Celine, Balmain, Iceberg, N21 and Devastee.

idea 1 _ ganaaxlo garderobi:

There is a huge choice because a lot of new compositions were released this year for the listeners with various musical tastes. House star Hugh Laurie's blues album 'Let Them Talk is quite interesting an excellent mixture of classical jazz and blues, which is already available from May 9. After a five-year pause The Strokes, an American rock band, offered a pleasant surprise to its listeners it released a new, fourth album Angles. There are at least two reasons why you should listen to it: a tasty post-punk, which will attract with its lightness not only the listeners of this genre this is a funny, energetic music, which will create high spirits during the sunny summer days.

Idea 2 Listen to new music

idea 2 _ mousmino axal musikas:

There are a lot of means of aromatherapy with purchasing a perfume as the simplest one. Hermes offered us the most interesting flavor for this summer it is Voyage dHermes. It has very interesting, ambivalent aroma, which simultaneously leaves a feeling of warmth and has a fragrance of not so cold weather. The composition opens with the ginger and citrus notes moving to the light flavor of cardamom and bergamot tea. Owing to the white musk and ginger notes, the aroma acquires an accomplished and warm nature. Voyage dHermes belongs to unisex perfumes that is quite natural abstract art has no frameworks; respectively, it cannot have any sex .

Idea 3 Apply aromatherapy

idea 3 _ mimarTo aromaTerapias:

Victor Ginzburg started to work over this film in 2006 and it was released quite recently. This is the first film adaptation of Generation by Russian author Victor Pelevin. Like the book, the film also offers quite a complex plot. Unlike 99 Francs, the literary version is much better than the directors version. Though, the film is quite interesting to watch because it makes you observe the influence of television and advertisement on the formation of human mentality, as well as how western brands are being adapted with the conscience of people of different nationalities.

Idea 4 Watch a new interesting film

idea 6 _ gasinjo moduri sasmeli:

These two things are not a interlinked, but when you have to deal with couchsurfing, your chances almost double. First of all, you need to register at www.couchsurfing.org, think over the city, district, where you would like to spend several days, and then it will be quite easy to find a local, who will gladly give you housing. Couch surfers are traveling around the world with the help of each other. Saving money on hotels is not the only positive side those, who cannot invite others to their own homes, are helping the guests in another way they act as guides in their own city, of course, free of charge. One can read feedbacks on couch surfers website that is quite useful for those people, who do not trust strangers much.

Idea 5 Travel and make new acquaintances

idea 7 _ gamoiyeno teqnikis siaxleebi:

Taste the beautiful life this is the slogan of Martini Gold. If you have not tasted it yet, you should do it by all means, because the contents of the bottle designed by DOLCE&GABBANA is distinguished by an extremely rich aroma. Bergamot perfume from Calabria, perfume made from the intense fragrances of Sicilian lemons, sweets and oranges from the Sicilian hills, delicate saffron from Spain, mystic myrrh from Ethiopia, ginger from India and enthralling pepper cubeb from Indonesia gives an unrepeatable taste to the drink. By mixing it with prosecco, golden Martini becomes much tastier and more solemn that makes it a real summer drink.

Idea 6 Taste fashionable drink

Our favorite things are often destroyed as a result of summer picnics and a fun on the beach. The company Motorola knows it

Idea 7 Use technological novelties

idea 8 _ gaxde ekocentruli:

very well. That is why it created Motorola Defy - a new android smart phone, which besides a good design and technical profile, has one feature, which we need so much in the nature - resistance. Its sensor screen is protected with a firm glass against hitting. And thats not all. The smart phone is dustproof and waterproof. Shortly speaking, it has everything you can dream about in summer, except for the camera, which has only 5 megapixels. Samsung has an interesting proposal in this respect a digital camera ST30, with 10 megapixel matrix and 3 optical zooms. Of course, the market offers us more serious products as well, but Samsung has one advantage - ST30 is an ultra-compact device, which has a size of a mobile phone and can easily be kept in a pocket.

This idea emerges automatically, when we walk in the nature, as we constantly see the environment full of polyethylene bags, as well polluted sea that disinclines us to swim. We fail to adequately assess our contribution to the environmental pollution. A paper from a chewing-gum thrown in the street can finally create a deplorable picture, because hundreds and thousands of people are acting so. Most important is to acknowledge that ecocentrism is the same as egocentrism as a result we receive a healthy body and healthy environment. Use bio-products; do not leave your electrical appliances in standby mode; buy the clothes made of processed materials it is both fashionable and rational. The most rational ideas for summer are those, which emerge unexpectedly. Geocell wishes you sunny holidays full of spontaneity!

Idea 8 Become ecocentric

Dato Turashvili, willy-nilly (I mean, intentionally or unintentionally but these are not literary words and they lead us somewhere else) managed to become a famous writer of our time, when media outlets mostly focus on politics and pseudo show business. This is extremely difficult in our time, especially if you are a good author (Jeans Generation) and complete with Joanne Rowling, whose books broke all sales records In one word, Dato, Mr. Dato Turashvili, for some people and simply Turika for others. We are talking at the literary caf on Tarkhnishvili Street Dato is answering shortly, though comprehensively. - Your appearance coincided with an absolutely non-literary period. Maybe, you can recollect what was happening then in terms of literature, I mean the late eighties and the early nineties. Since the nineties of the last century I remember a scene, which I witnessed on the Melikishvili Street in Tbilisi during the civil war armed people were walking on the Rustaveli Avenue, while Kote Kubaneishvili and Irakli Charkviani were moving from the opposite side with books under their arms. The third person (Paata Kurdadze), whom I did not know then, was accompanying them - Do you think that a creator should play an active role in the life of his country or at least get involved in the social or political life, or is it their personal choice? Previously, I was thinking quite simply that writing is most important for the writer and it is up to him to decide whether to get involved in the public and political life or not. Now, sometimes it seems to me that probably the writer should comment on certain developments in his texts (for example, it happens so in Latin America). - Lets turn to the books. Are there fewer buyers or readers today? To the best of my belief, today there is mostly a problem of a buyer rather than a reader in Georgia. _ Seni wigni, `jinsebis Taoba~, samamulo bestseleria. garda kargi teqstisa, ra aris saWiro imisTvis, rom saqarTveloSi wigni kargad gaiyidos. aqtiuroben ki Sesabamisad gamomcemlebi? samwuxarod (Cemi subieqturi azriT), gamomcemlebi arasakmarisad aqtiuroben da ama Tu im wignis popularizaciaze arasakmarisad zrunaven. _ interneti _ safrTxe Tu axali gza mkiTxvelisTvis, amaze dRes bevrs saubroben _ wignis mkvleli da ra aRar gvesmis misi misamarTiT... internets Tu gonivrulad gamoviyenebT, mxolod dagvexmareba da Tu SegveSindeba misi, rasakvirvelia, isev Cven davzaraldebiT. _ Seni TvaliT danaxuli literaturis momavali, ocdameerTe saukune da mxatvruli sityva... imas vityvi, rac msurs ocdameerTe saukuneSi vnaxo _ wignisa da internetis harmoniuli Tanaarseboba, radgan adamians wyalic sWirdeba da puric... - Your book, Jeans Generation, is a local bestseller. Besides a good text, what is needed to sell the books well in Georgia? Are the relevant publishing houses active enough? Unfortunately (and this is my subjective opinion), publishes are not active enough and do not sufficiently care for popularization of this or that book. - Internet danger or new road for the readers - much is spoken today about it a murderer of a book or something like that. If we use Internet reasonably, it will only help us and if we get frightened of it, of course, we will incur losses. - In your opinion, what will be the future of literature, the 21st century and literary word I will say what I want to see in the 21st century harmonious co-existence of the book and Internet, because a human being needs both water and bread

The BlackBerry PlayBook is RIMs first tablet, and does pretty well in the hardware specs. It has a 1024 x 600 display, a dual-core 1 GHz processor with 1 GB of RAM, plus twin 5 megapixel and 3 megapixel cameras, each capable of capturing 1080p video. On the software side of things, the PlayBook is running a brand new QNX-based OS, which excels at multitasking, and has a slick, gesturedriven user interface. App selection is improving, but still isnt remotely comparable to whats available on BlackBerry smartphones. That may change soon enough as the PlayBook adds support for Android apps.

Nike, sportswear and equipment supplier, has teamed up with TomTom, one of the world leaders in GPS mapping systems, to provide runners with the ideal digital performance coach. Although there are specific runner watches already on the market, Nike focused on style. Large digital numbers and a dark black band with a green/yellow underside screams latest fashion. It is like your own personal trainer on your wrist! The SportWatch GPS will bug you with run reminders when you have not logged a run in five days, you will get "attaboys" for achieving run records, and you can plug the watch directly into your computer to interface with nikeplus.com. As for the hardware, the SportWatch's GPS works in combination with a shoe sensor to keep logging your location even when you are running in the city and you can tap the display to illuminate the backlight or set a new lap.

Swedish-based Handheld Group has introduced the Algiz XRW rugged laptop that is so tough that it is looking for trouble. Weighing only 1.5 kilograms, the Algiz XRW hosts a fully sealed keyboard and touchpad for protection against water, sand and dust. While it can only sustain drops from 1.2 meters, it can easily be used in deserts or slopes being able to survive in temperatures ranging from -21 C to 70 C. It should be especially useful outdoors as the 10.1-inch widescreen display utilizes sunlight-readable MaxView technology. Here is an overview of what else is inside the device: Intel Atom Z550 2GHz processor, Windows 7 Ultimate OS, 2GB of DDR2 memory, 64GB SSD, Wi-Fi, Gobi 2000 3G module (optional), Bluetooth, GPST, two USB 2.0 ports, 2-megapixel autofocus webcam, and up to eight hours of battery life.

New Numbering System of Georgian Electronic Communications Networks and Rules of Calling
Dear subscribers, let us inform you that in June 2011 new numbering system and rules of calling will enter into force for the subscribers of local fixed, mobile and wireless fixed telephone networks: Numbering of Local Fixed Telephone Networks in Tbilisi Starting from June 4, 2011, 6-digit numbers of local fixed telephone networks in Tbilisi shall be replaced by 7-digit numbers by adding 2 in front of each subscriber number existing in Tbilisi, while the following digits will remain unchanged. For example: subscriber number 77-01-00 shall be replaced by 2-77-01-00 from June 4. Numbering of Local Fixed Telephone Networks in Various Cities of Georgia Starting from June 4, 2011, 5-digit numbers of local fixed telephone networks in various cities and municipalities of Georgia shall be replaced by 6-digit numbers by adding 2 in front of each subscriber number, while the following digits will remain unchanged. For example: subscriber number of Batumi local fixed telephone network 7-99-99 shall be replaced by 27-99-99. The length of a subscriber number remained unchanged only in Rustavi, where the first digit 1 of six-digit subscriber number of local fixed telephone networks shall be replaced by 2, while the following digits will remain unchanged. For example: subscriber number 15-99-99 shall be replaced by 25-99-99. Numbering of All Mobile Operator Networks of Georgia Starting from June 20, 5 shall be added in front of two-digit index (NDC- National Destination Code) of Geocell, Magticom and Beeline (for example: 77-XX-XX-XX, 99-XX-XX-XX , 97-XX-XX-XX), while six- digit subscriber number (SN) will remain unchanged. So, the new numbers will look like 5XX XX-XX-XX (for example: 577 XX-XX-XX, 597 XX-XX-XX, 599 XX-XX-XX). Starting from June 27 the numbering system of fixed wireless telephone network will be changed as follows: 7 shall be added in front of Magtifix and Silknet two-digit index (NDC- National Destination Code) , while sixdigit subscriber number (SN) will remain unchanged. For example: 790 XXXX-XX. Instead of 90 XX-XX-XX. Starting from June 27 the numbering system of fixed wireless telephone network of Silknet will also change as follows: 791-XX-XX-XX instead of previous 70-XX-XX-XX. At this stage special short numbers of patrol police, fire and rescue services, emergency medical aid, gas emergency service, security guard and information services, as well as the rules of making calls will remain unchanged. In order to make a call from one mobile network to another or from one wireless fixed network to another, you need to dial the following combination of digits, respectively, 5XX-XX-XX-XX or 790 -XX-XX-XX . In order to make a call from mobile network to wireless fixed network, you need to dial a prefix 8, then 790-XX-XX-XX and vice versa, from wireless fixed network to mobile network you need to dial a prefix 8, then 5XX-XXXX-XX. The rule of making calls from the countrys fixed networks and foreign countries remains unchanged; however, new numbers of mobile and wireless fixed networks shall be dialed in order to make a call. The rule of connecting with the subscribers of the countrys fixed local telephone networks from mobile and wireless fixed networks remains unchanged. The above mentioned changes have been made in accordance with the governmental decree dated 18th of November 2010 On the Approval of the Charter on National Numbering System of Electronic Communications Networks of Georgia.
