Dear Sama Readers, summer time has come and with it, summer break. But you will not find us lying on the beach and drinking cocktails. No. We will be hard at work on the new redesign of your favorite website for our second anniversary.

Starting this week, there won't be as many updates as there used to be, but we will keep publishing our Weekly Rendezvous: Friday Digest each Friday until mid-August and then we will be back with plenty of news and updates in September.

Meanwhile you can browse the Archive in case you missed some of our stories and of course follow us on Twitter @SamaGazette.

We wish you all a very good vacation, enjoy the Summer wherever you are!
