Five great winter holiday destinations: the colder the better
Tallinn, Estonia
"With its Gothic spires and conical snowy roofs, cosy beer halls and vintage-look bars, Tallinn is one of the ultimate winter cities. After strolling the old town, seeing the atmospheric Dominican monastery and the castle on Toompea hill, visitors can duck into a cool coffee shop (see tourism.tallinn.ee). The skating rink on Harju street is next to St Nicholas' church, and there are illuminated cross-country ski trails at the Pirita Health Track (piritaspordikeskus.ee), 15 minutes outside the city.
• Ryanair flies from Luton, Stansted and Manchester, Brussels Airlines from Edinburgh and Brsitol, FlyBe from East Midlands and easyJet from Gatwick. Returns in February from about £85. Hotel St Petersbourg (+372 6, 286500, hotelstpetersbourg.com, doubles from €110) has fine vodkas and a dining area decked with tapesteries. OldHouse Guesthouse (+372 6 411464, hostels.ee/oldhouse , doubles €30) is cheap and cute"

The Estonian Cyber President: I'll be back
"You might have seen him on the NATO CCDCOE Conference in Tallinn or you might know him as Toomas Hendrik Ilves the current President of Estonia. Estonia had a rough year in 2007 when Estonia got hit by an cyber attack.
The attack was stopped in two weeks and that was when Estonia said we are going to spend our attention on cyber security and our understanding of cyber security."
An article about Estonian President Toomas Hendrik Ilves and his speech about cyber security:
