Ει βούλει καλώς ακούειν, μάθε καλώς λέγειν, μαθών δε καλώς λέγειν, πειρώ καλώς πράττειν, και ούτω καρπώση το καλώς ακούειν. (Επίκτητος)

(Αν θέλεις να σε επαινούν, μάθε πρώτα να λες καλά λόγια, και αφού μάθεις να λες καλά λόγια, να κάνεις καλές πράξεις, και τότε θα ακούς καλά λόγια για εσένα).

Cunard Co-Sponsors 2012 BritWeek Los Angeles


Iconic British ocean liner company Cunard Line returned to co-sponsor the sixth annual BritWeek Los Angeles (24 April – 7 May), a star-studded celebration of British arts, entertainment and business innovation, highlighting the rich relationship between the United Kingdom and Los Angeles.
The signature BritWeek Gala Dinner was held on 4 May at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif. and featured special honouree Piers Morgan, host of CNN’s evening talk show “Piers Morgan Tonight.”
During the highly anticipated gala, famed author Jackie Collins led an engaging discussion with Morgan about the span of his media career from his days as a journalist for Great Britain's newspapers The Sun and Daily Mirror, to his stint as a judge on NBC's "America's Got Talent" and his current post at "Piers Morgan Tonight."
One of the most prominent British brands with its North American headquarters in Valencia, Calif., Cunard has long fostered a connection between the United Kingdom and the domestic market. Guests who sail aboard Cunard’s flagship Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria, and Queen Elizabeth enjoy British traditions as part of legendary voyages, including white-gloved afternoon tea service, Royal Nights themed formal balls and a traditional English pub.
“Once again, Cunard is pleased to partake in the many celebratory BritWeek activities in Los Angeles,” said Peter Shanks, president of Cunard Line. “As one of the premier British-American cultural influencers in the city, Cunard values the preservation of our cross-cultural ties through special events such as this.”
BritWeek is the brainchild of British television director and producer Nigel Lythgoe (“American Idol” and “So You Think You Can Dance”) and former Los Angeles British Consul General Bob Peirce, and wife Sharon Harroun Peirce. Piers Morgan is the most recent honouree to join the long list of British influencers who have participated. Past notables include Sir Ben Kingsley, Dame Helen Mirren, Simon Cowell and Seal.
On a luxury cruise vacation aboard Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria or Queen Elizabeth, guests delight in the experience of the voyage itself, not just the destination. By day, guests enjoy leisurely activities, including reading in the ships’ voluminous libraries, rejuvenating in world-class spas, and engaging in Insights guest enrichment programmes. By night, guests can enjoy black tie dinners, themed balls, West End-style productions and the Veuve Clicquot champagne bar.
