This is a personal site for links and for oddments which do not relate to Apollo Investment Management Ltd - that website is at www.apolloinvestment.com. Much which interests me is in practice posted there, often in the 'what's new' page, and may not be related only to investment. There is also a 'potted biography' page on the business site.

The C14th Chinese shipwreck Turiang, which sank with a cargo of Thai, Vietnamese and Chinese ceramics, iron and fish, while heading for Borneo/Sulawesi, caused some rewriting of Thai ceramic history, and is documented at www.maritimeasia.ws. There is also a full online version of the exhibition 'Discovering Asia's ceramic development' - through seven shipwrecks spanning half a millennium - which ran for several years at Muzium Negara, Kuala Lumpur. The chronology page collates links and references to Asian maritime and trade history.

The Anglo-Dutch East Indiaman Avondster, which sank in the harbour at Galle in Sri Lanka in 1659, is chronicled on the Maritime Lanka website at http://cf.hum.uva.nl/galle/.

The website of the Homoeopathic Clinic in London, which is run by my sister Anne Wynne-Simmons, is at www.wynne-simmons.com. The site explains the promising success achieved with prevention and treatment of malaria and dengue, two of the world's major killers. Experience to date is on a limited scale; we hope that doctors and scientists in affected areas may investigate further. Meanwhile, anyone travelling or living in these areas should consider homoeopathic products.
