To Tourists, Greek Debt Crisis Is a Distant Concept By NIKI KITSANTONIS Published: September 20, 2011 FROM NEW YORK TIMES ATHENS — Despite all the gloom surrounding Greece and its battered economy, the sun has been shining on the country’s tourism industry, offering one of the few glimmers of hope for recovery. Greeks have cut back on vacations, prompting a 20 percent drop in domestic tourism. But the number of foreign visitors to its sun-drenched islands and ancient monuments is set to reach a record of 16.5 million this year.

Trying to get smarter, I once read a  book  on Leonardo DaVinci that promised to help you find your inner genius. The book was interesting and insightful, but I still cannot paint or draw and I never discovered a dormant talent for invention. I did, however, discover a technique called “mind mapping” derived from DaVinci’s approach to note taking. It revolutionized my approach to organizing ideas and managing complex tasks. Leonardo is immortalized in his famous notebooks. He took notes, sketched inventions like the helicopter and drew beautiful images of the human body. He loved nature and was both intensely curious and exceptionally observant. He memorialized all he saw and all he thought. In his noteboo
