It is the last Friday of the year. Our last issue of 2017. Hard to believe, isn’t it?

Well, this has been a good year for us. We published every week and went through a few changes. We have a name, a logo and a Gravatar, moved to a new website, Armando Ezquerra Hasbun joined our team of authors, we have a Twitter account and handle (@najitobserver), readers and contributors from different countries.

This week our authors are off enjoying their families and friends. Instead of a new article, we will share a selection of posts. You can create your own selection by clicking on the magnifying glass icon near the BLOG menu item and writing a keyword or the name of an author. Let us know if your favorite made the cut.

We wish you renewed success in 2018, good paying clients, good health and time to enjoy this bounty!
