Day 1 – Fly to Antarctica Fly from Chile to Antarctica by private transport jet. Land on ice runway. Settle in at Union Glacier Camp. Day 2 Acclimatize to Antarctica Today is an easy day to acclimatize to Antarctic conditions. We will have an orientation to camp and life in Antarctica, review expedition logistics with our guide, and enjoy a presentation by our staff naturalist about coastal wildlife and wildlife viewing procedures. Days 3-5 Living with the Emperor penguins After a leisurely breakfast we pack up and fly by ski aircraft to the remote south coast of the Weddell Sea. We land on multi-year sea ice near the Emperor rookery and our guides set up a cozy field camp beside the aircraft. The rest of the day is ours to explore and we have our first audience with the Emperors. Experience the rhythms of the rookery at your own pace over the next three days. Take guided walks with our ANI naturalist or do your own thing. Meal times are flexible so you can photograph and explore when the lighting and mood are just right. Meals are prepared by our guides and include hot meals and portable snacks. Watch adults display and feed their young. Listen to trumpeting and whistling calls as parents and chicks search for one another. If lucky, we'll photograph Weddell seals lazing by tide cracks. And at each step we'll marvel at the magnificence of where we are. Each night, fall asleep to the mingled calls of thousands of Emperors. At the end of our third day we pack-up the aircraft and fly back to Union Glacier Camp. Day 6 Union Glacier We take a day to enjoy the comforts of Union Glacier Camp and prepare for the next leg of our journey. Day 7 In the footsteps of the Explorers Today we fly to the South Pole, the holy grail of polar explorers. A 4-5 hr flight brings us to our destination and as we step off the aircraft, we are immediately struck by the significance of this place and our journey. We have arrived at the heart of the 7th continent and at the axis of the earth. Here all 360 lines of longitude meet and the ice is nearly 10,000 ft (3,000m) thick. This last great geographical prize captured the imagination of a generation of explorers, who suffered extreme hardship and even gave their lives to claim it as their own. We will take plenty of time for photographs and reflection at the Geographic South Pole and at the colorful Ceremonial Pole which commemorates the signing of the Antarctic Treaty. Inside Amundsen-Scott station we will see what it is like to live at the South Pole and learn what makes the South Pole a unique scientific laboratory. After our visit we re-board the ski aircraft and return to Union Glacier Camp, where we will toast our achievement and enjoy a celebration meal prepared by our chefs. The South Pole has been designated an Antarctic Specially Managed Area (ASMA #5) to conserve the environmental, scientific and historical values of the area. We ask for your cooperation in respecting visitor guidelines during any time we may spend at the South Pole. Day 8 Union Glacier On our final day we have a chance to explore scenic Union Glacier. This day also provide a second opportunity for our South Pole flight, in case of poor weather on Day 7. Day 9* Return to Punta Arenas, Chile The aircraft from Punta Arenas will arrive with a new collection of avid explorers and you depart for the final leg of your Antarctic experience. The staff will meet you at Punta Arenas airport and transfer you to your hotel. * Schedule No two Antarctic experiences are exactly the same. This is part of the excitement and adventure of Antarctic travel. The itinerary above highlights typical activities and experiences. Exact timeline and details will vary from trip to trip. Trip length may vary by departure Please anticipate delays and do not plan anything for at least a week after your scheduled return. Allow yourself to enjoy this unique experience without the stress of pending commitments.
This unique Antarctic campsite is located in the remote, southern Ellsworth Mountains, on the broad expanse of Union Glacier. This is the only facility of its kind in Antarctica. The full-service camp operates during the Antarctic summer (November through January). The camp maintains and operates an ice runway, a separate skiway and an efficient logistics hub to provide support to private expeditions and National Antarctic Programs. Union Glacier Camp is only accessible by air and your journey begins with a 4 ¼ hour flight from Punta Arenas, Chile. The wheeled aircraft lands on a naturally-occurring ice runway on the Union Glacier, where you take your first steps in Antarctica. Climb aboard one of the specially adapted vans for the 5 mile (8km) ride to camp, where a warm welcome awaits you.
The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming at the Antarctic camp at Union Glacier. You'll find roomy, double occupancy sleeping tents; a spacious dining hall; fresh delicious meals; and a spectacular setting. You'll be surprised how comfortable Antarctica can be! This full-service camp is designed for Antarctic conditions and with best environmental practices in mind. It operates during the Antarctic summer (November through January) and is dismantled at the end of each season.
The setting is spectacular. The accommodation spacious and comfortable. The meals fresh and delicious. The service and support unparalleled. Majestic peaks rise in all directions offering plenty of opportunities for scenic excursions, technical climbs and ski tours. At camp there is little wind, providing a comfortable environment to relax and take it all in.
At each turn a new experience awaits. Take in wide open vistas from the top of Charles Peak. Explore ice pools in the Elephant Head Valley. Ramble along multi-colored Spectrum Ridge. Cross country ski over frozen fields of sastrugi. Photograph wind sculpted clouds, unusual snow features and a thousand shades of white. Navigate using GPS. Carve snow sculptures. Or simply relax and take it all in. For the more adventurous, try ice climbing on the massive windscoop surrounding Charles Peak, scramble up the serpentine Ridge of Mount Rossman or camp out on the polar plateau.
Two twin-engine, ski aircraft transport passengers, cargo and fuel beyond Union Glacier Camp. The ski aircraft park to one side of camp and use a separate skiway.
Field Camps
The Gould Bay (Emperor Penguin), ski expedition, climbing and other field camps are more basic. Equipment must be lightweight and portable, yet still strong enough to withstand Antarctic conditions. You sleep in mountaineering-style tents and eat a combination of fresh-frozen meals, prepared by the chefs at Union Glacier; and de-hydrated meals.

McCain also made the case for immediate passage of human-rights legislation named after deceased Russian whistleblower Sergei Magnitsky that would impose travel and financial restrictions on Russian officials accused of human-rights abuses. The bill, along with legislation to normalize trade relations with Russia, are stuck in Congress, where Republicans blame a lack of engagement by the White House for the lack of progress.
"The administration should also make clear that, despite this embarrassing setback, the U.S. will never abandon those patriotic Russians who dream of a better and freer future for their country, and that we will seek new ways to maintain our support and assistance to them. Most of all, it is now essential for the U.S. Congress to pass the Magnitsky Act as quickly as possible."

Superpack: 2015 Year in Review
by Dawson Barrett, Alexander Barrett, Joe Biel, Elly Blue, Anna Brones, Daniel Makagon, Meggyn Pomerleau, Ryan Splint, April Streeter, Super Pack!, Bob Suren, Lisa Wilde and Helen Wildfell
Were you busy during 2015 and didn't get as much chances as you wanted to look at books? Well, we were busy too! And we've put together a collection of everything we published this year: 14 books and a movie!* We cover a lot of ground in the realm of self-empowerment, and the last twelve months have pretty much spanned it all. This selection includes (with some overlapping categories!) two cookbooks, two books with lots of information about crotch health, two graphic novels, four heavily-illustrated non-graphic novel books, two punk rock histories, three books about the power of young people to change the world, four books about bicycling, and one book of short stories about zombies and bicycles. All at an extra excellent bargain.
Here's the full list:
Aftermass — The surprising documentary history, on DVD, of how Portland, Oregon became a bicycle friendly city
Consensuality — Tools for imperfect people who want to build healthy, feminist relationships
Crate Digger — A man's obsession with collecting punk records almost ruins his life
Hot Damn & Hell Yeah — A spicy southern and southwestern vegan cookbook
Hot Pants — Take control of your gynecological health using herbs and practical knowledge
Manspressions — When it comes to dismantling the patriarchy, laughter is a key strategy
Snake Pit Gets Old — Ben Snakepit draws a 3 panel comic about every day of his life
Teenage Rebels — Snapshots of teens throughout US history who have stood up for their (and others') rights
Yo, Miss — A graphic novel that shows what it's like to teach at an NYC second-change high school
The Culinary Cyclist — Vegetarian recipes and tips for slow, sustainable, enjoyable living and eating
Our Bodies, Our Bikes — Experiences and how-tos at the intersection of gender and bicycling
Pedal Zombies — Feminist bicycle science fiction short stories, about zombies of course
Everyday Bicycling — The updated second edition of our bicycling guide for busy people with a lot of responsibilities
This is Shanghai — A mesmerizing walk through what it's like to live in this Chinese mega city
Underground — The history of punk house shows, made accessible and super-inspiring
That should last you a while! Enjoy your trip around our small world. Meanwhile, we'll keep busy making the next year's worth of books.
*We're not including the Urban Homesteader Box Set in this pack because it's already discounted, but you're welcome to add it on!

Hello folks,
I was wondering if any of you had specific strategies you use to increase ranking in the SERPS and getting organic traffic. I understand that the general strategy is to write unique content and get relevant backlinks. But lets get into specifics.
For example I have more experience with Squidoo so I will do the following:
1. Social bookmarking my lens
2. Post on Squidoo forums like Firestorm, BestFreeforums, and Forum finder.
3. Submit lens to Squidoo directories like Squidom and Lensroll.
Now what specific websites, forums, or directories do you use to build links for Hubpages? Again I was hoping to get into some specifics. Thanks everyone!
Here is an excellent tool that will help you get good inbound links to your site
How To Get Good Inbound Links To Your Website
It's a free tool that I use all the time and its pretty cool!
Good luck!
There are a lot of great suggestions in this thread. Traffic strategies are endless... In this hub I reveal 16 of my greatest traffic strategies that have served me well. All the Best!
http://hubpages.com/hub/increased-web-t … -your-hubs
1. Blogging the hubpages.
2. Entering face book
3. Posting in yahoo 360
4. Mailing it.
Jyoti Kothari
Well all of these are normally used by me:
-Random Forums (in Signatures)
-Mailed to Friends\Family
-Social Bookmarks
Hope that helps!
LInk from my blog
Add to my website which mentions all my hubs! (sometimes I'm behind again!)
relevant forum signatures depending on the topic
comments on do-follow blogs which are relevant and thats a proper comment too not just "great post"
submit articles to ezinearticles.com and other article directories
my number one tool that I am having success with at the moment is something called Article Marketing Automation which allows me to write short articles which are posted to lots of different blogs and gives me the backlinks - Im impressed with the results to date - WARNING this is a paid tool and you shouldn't be spending money on if you are a beginner
In addition to the other methods mentioned:
* Squidtop.com
* SquidU.com forum signature
I have also had some success using this Automatic Bookmarking software. It's not free, but fairly reasonably priced considering the number of well-known social bookmarking sites that it hits and its ability to bookmark on lesser-known "scuttle" sites.
Blogger.com, Wordpress.com, livejournal.com, ideafry.com, multiply, ning.com for blog posts.
Ezinearticles, goarticles, gather, squidoo, knol, weebly, tripod for articles.
Tumblr, feedburner, and other RSS feed aggregators for RSS feed links.
Share-a-post for syndication.
And my own blogs, of course.
Open an account at Indianpad dot com helps with high Page Rank.
Good idea. I am writing much about India.
Jyoti Kothari
Thanks guys this has been very helpful!
this thread may not be from me but i learned a great deal...i need all the info i can get to increase more traffic.tnx guys and tnx for creating this thread
This thread is very useful. Thanks, all the members of hubpages. Really, you all are great. I think this thread will helpful for me much for my coming hub pages.
Thank you for all your good ideas and information. I am just starting to sign up for other sites to promote my Hubpages and I had a question. Should I use my same user name, ie. Violet's View, on other sites like Digg that I am using to drive traffic to my Hubpages? It seems logical to do that to further promote my identity and therefore my Hubs. Is there any reaon NOT to do this that I don't know about. Thanks
One thing I regret is not using my own name or a proper pseudonym when I stated at hubpages. You end up developing an online identity (or brand as the marketers would have it) so that you become recognisable. Its also one of the reasons I don't change my photo and use it consistently on many sites too
Someone pointed that out to me early on, and I'm grateful for it. It's the reason I have a proper name on HubPages rather than a goofy nickname.
Having a real name may be boring, but it means I can refer publishers to my HubPages and feel confident my portfolio looks professional. In fact, I'm beginning to regret that I didn't just use my real name, as my online persona and my real-life one are beginning to overlap and it would be much easier to have just one name! Too late to change it now, though - Google Marisa Wright and you'll see my "brand" has become fairly widespread: no point in undoing all that good work.
Thanks Lissie and Marisa for your input. You answered my question and I appreciate it!
The other downfall of using a "penname" that is not your true name, might be that another person who has that same name as their legal name could write under it too and gain from your "fame".
Using a penname has certainly been done by many authors throughout history, so I would think a prospective publisher would not hold that against you. So many things to consider and so many avenues for promotion. It is mind boggling some times.
Do you submit articles outside the web as well? Do you think this will bring more monetary success. Thanks for your help and input. I truly do thank you both.
Violet (*)
No one has a patent on a name, so even if I used my real name, that could happen. In fact there's already a writer with almost the same name as me - the only difference is a few letters in the surname! So in some ways, perhaps its better that I use a pen name, because so far I've only found two other Marisa Wrights online - and neither are writers.
Originally I had two reasons for using a pen name - one, I was writing about relationships and feared some of my articles would upset my ex-partner - so I felt I could write with fewer restrictions if I wasn't "me". Two, I was (and still am) concerned about identity theft. If you're going to start writing about your life - where you were born, how old you are, where you live, your kids' names etc - it becomes frighteningly easy for someone to put it all together and take over your life. So my name isn't real, there isn't a single site where I've been honest about my date of birth, and I haven't posted a head-and-shoulders shot of me anywhere.
I must say, I do start to feel like I'm overreacting when I see all the thousands of people online with photos, real names, even photos of their kids and their homes - but at the same time, I know someone who had their identity stolen off Facebook, and the experience was devastating.
I am like you. I would rather remain anonymous. My intuition is strongly in favor of that.
My real name is so odd most people probably think its made up! Its certainly unique on the web LOL Unfortunately because of the variants in spelling I had to buy 3 domains to cover it: that's another thing worth doing buy your name.com - it costs <$10 and it stops anyone else using it even if you just redirect it to your hubpages profile! So far Ihave lissie doing social media, lis doing trends stuff, and Elisabeth doing the paid writing gigs !
I don't see much point in hiding my real birthday (except for vanity) - after all in Australia my drviers licence has my birth date and address - how silly is that! I do not give out my address or any phone number except a mobile phone which is disposable anyway. My domains are registered to a legit PO Box
I don't identify my next of kin by name or otherwise because I don't have (havent asked for) their permission.
I guess if I did use a pename for writing then I would have to do something with the tax office to assure them that the invoice to Jane Doe was actually paying me? That's the only complexity I can see
The use of pen names by writers has been so common for centuries, the tax office takes it in its stride. If you're getting into jobs you may have to declare for tax, you just have to ensure the publisher knows and uses your real name for all the business stuff including invoicing and cheques - your pen name just appears on your byline.
I think it'll be a long time before my writing could be considered a business (under Australian tax law, if you're making only a small income from something, you can regard it as a hobby and don't have to declare it). So I don't think I'll have to worry about pseudonyms and the tax office any time soon.
for me twitter could be a big help for traffic if you know how to use that then im sure you will happy to check the traffic everyday.
Very helpful thread. I am going to peruse this one carefully because I need to learn more about article submitting. I'm not doing a bad job but there is definitely alot of room for improvement. Ah.....that lovely learning curve!!!
I have friends offline who tease and yell out loud, " Hey, Dame!" lol ... it's cute and strangers look at me funny, o well, lol
There are many Shirley Andersons that come up in a Google Search. At least one is a writer (health, I think) and has the same middle initial as I do. If someone is looking for me specifically, they'll think I have a TON of stuff online.
Not only that, but there is another Shirley Anderson on Helium that my stuff comes up under if you just punch in the name for a general search there.
I guess a pen name might be good, I use pen names in forums, but I wanted to use my real name - writer's ego, I guess.
There are so many different methods of promotion, i just dont know where to begin!! Which do you general find to be the most successfull? or is it really a combination of everything that yields results.

Don't know how to skate........... that's okay! We have plenty of other fun ice activities that are great for group outings!
These activities can be enjoyed by both youth and adult groups. Ice time cost ranges based on start time and varies depending on the number of people and the number of hours rented. Additional hours are sold in quarter hour increments. The price includes the cost of equipment. The ice can be rented out after our regularly scheduled programs. Late night ice time available, great for young adults. Please contact email@example.com for details.
Broomball is like hockey, but you use a stick with a "broom" on the end and a ball instead of a hockey stick and a puck and you get to wear your shoes on the ice! Broomball is played with 10-15 players per team on the ice at one time, with additional players used as substitutes to rotate. Groups with more than 40 people should consider purchasing more than one hour of ice time. All players must wear a helmet provided by the player. Broomball Rules
Dodgeball is just like you remember it from grade school, only we play it on the ice! Dodgeball games start out with teams at each end of the ice, and players are eliminated when tagged by a ball from the opposing team. Soft-soled shoes are needed for dodgeball on ice. All players must wear a helmet provided by the player. Dodgeball Rules
If you are an individual or group interested in learning the real sport of curling, we do have a curling club in town, Lone Star Curling Club. They own their own (genuine) curling stones and rent the ice weekly for real curling games. For more information contact the Lone Star Curling Club.

When murder upsets the creative tranquillity of an artists' colony, Scotland Yard sends in its most famous investigator. And what begins as a routine case turns out to be the most momentous of Roderick Alleyn's career. For before he can corner the killer, his heart<br /> is captured by one of the suspects - the flashing-eyed painter Agatha Troy, who has nothing but scorn for the art of detection .

Glossop Town Hall's clock will be stopped as work to repair stonework and gutters to the listed Norfolk Square building begins this week.
Councillor Tim Norton, executive member for corporate services, said: "These essential maintenance works are taking place now before the onset of the winter weather to protect the building whilst we draw up plans for the regeneration of all the Glossop Halls.
"We're working closely with Derbyshire County Council, and other interested parties and community groups, on proposals which will secure the future of these heritage buildings and bring them back into community use."

Developer: Nd Cube
Console: Wii
Players: 4
Genre: Party Games
Australian Release Date: March 8th, 2012
Australian Rating: G
Score: 9/10
The ninth in the series of video board game style games in which you win by having the most stars.
While you still play on a board game style track and compete in mini games to receive prizes, the first thing you will notice that is different to previous Mario Party games is that you all progress together in one vehicle rather than individually on the board. For each player's turn, that player is the driver, or 'captain', and whatever the vehicle lands on while it is your turn, happens to you, i.e. gaining (or losing) stars, special events, etc. The second thing you notice is that there are no coins and no ultimate star goals. Stars are gained and lost by traversing the board: picking them up when you go through them, losing them when you go through 'z-stars'; and winning them in the mini games. In a sense, they have merged stars and coins to simplify the game.
Like before, solo mode is pretty much just playing against the computer. However, one other player is playing for Bowser, and if they win, you have to do the level all over again. This can be a little frustrating as completing a bored isn't done quickly. Something else new that I love is boss battles. Like a Super Mario world, at the end of each track is a Bowser castle, and a Bowser minion fort half way through. At the fort, you must fight one of Bowser's minions in a mini game style fight where the boss has a health bar and you gain points based on the damage you do. Then, obviously, at the Bowser castle you fight Bowser in a range of different mini games. I find these battles really add a sense of accomplishment to the game, and they are a lot of fun.
In the Extras menu you have different, not-so-mini games. You complete these to earn Party Points (which are used to unlock bonuses in the Museum), but nowhere near as many as you would in Party Mode. Goomba Bowling and Shell Soccer are fun, but best played with others. Perspective Mode is a new way to play the regular mini games. Seeing the play field from a restricted view point definitely adds a level of difficulty to it. Then there is Castle Clearout, which, if you let it, will last forever. It is an arcade style game that involves dropping balls to clear out groups of six or more touching of the same colour. My biggest complaint about it is that there is no point system for it. There is only level progression, and it takes quite a few levels before the difficulty moves up a notch.
Being another Party game on the Wii, the graphics aren't that much better than the last, perhaps a little crisper if anything. But the colour schemes are nicer and so is the audio. It is also much easier to unlock things in this game than its predecessors. All new mini games, all new boards, similar premise but slightly different gameplay. Great for light casual gaming, but best played with friends. If you've skipped the last couple of versions because they were too similar (and let's be honest, they were), 9 has the right balance of new vs. familiar.

I kind of made up the genre myself, as everywhere else had it as puzzle, and it really doesn't come across as a puzzle game at all to me, except for maybe the one arcade game.

Housing Development Finance Corporation Ltd (HDFC) – India's largest mortgage lender – will dilute 10% of its stake in its insurance venture with UK's Standard Life Plc, paving the way for the country's first life-insurance listing, according to The Economic Times.
In a regulatory filing dated April 19, HDFC said the board of directors of its non-listed subsidiary – HDFC Standard Life Insurance Company Limited (HDFC Standard Life) – has approved taking steps to initiate the process for an initial public offering (IPO), which will see HDFC diluting 10% of its 61.65% stake in the insurance arm.Currently pending various regulatory approvals – including from the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority and the Securities and Exchange Board of India – industry experts value the deal at 20 billion Indian rupees (US$299.67 million), based on valuations derived from earlier off-market stake sale transactions by the private insurer.
HDFC recently completed the sale of its additional 9% stake in HDFC Standard Life to Edinburgh-based Standard Life, which saw its stake in the venture increasing from 26% to 35%. Standard Life paid 17.05 billion Indian rupees to HDFC, which valued the unit at 185 billion Indian rupees.
The IPO will be the first from an insurer to be on the Indian market since the government first allowed private participation in 2000, with a limit of 26% on foreign direct investment. The limit was subsequently raised to 49% in March last year, after the Indian parliament ratified the previously-stalled Insurance Laws (Amendment) Bill in order to facilitate growth and encourage consolidation within the industry.
The listing of HDFC Standard Life is clearly not the last, with up to seven other companies looking at potentially listing their insurance units over the next few years, reportedBloomberg. The State Bank of India and the ICICI (Industrial Credit and Investment Corporation of India) Bank Ltd had earlier announced the intention to list their respective insurance arms.
The life-insurance industry in the world's second most-populated country is estimated to be worth $50 billion, while general insurance is valued at about $13 billion, according to KPMG. Insurance penetration remains lower than the global average, with premiums underwritten as a proportion of the country's total economic output standing at 3.9% in 2013, which is less than the 6.3% worldwide average.
Following the easing of foreign-ownership rules in India, foreign insurers who have raised stakes in their Indian ventures include HSBC Insurance Holdings Ltd, which announced that it increased holdings in its venture with Canara Bank, and Bupa Plc, which increased its holdings in Max Bupa Health Insurance Co.
In 2015, ICICI Bank Ltd sold a 6% stake in its life insurance venture – ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Co – to the family office of billionaire Azim Premji and a subsidiary of Singapore's Temasek Holdings Pte Ltd. It also sold a 9% stake in its general insurance unit to Toronto-based Fairfax Financial Holdings Ltd.

Issue No. 09 - September (1987 vol. 13)
pp: 1027-1037

The Cleanroom software development approach is intended to produce highly reliable software by integrating formal methods for specification and design, nonexecution-based program development, and statistically based independent testing. In an empirical study, 15 three-person teams developed versions of the same software system (800-2300 source lines); ten teams applied Cleanroom, while five applied a more traditional approach. This analysis characterizes the effect of Cleanroom on the delivered product, the software development process, and the developers.
