Day 1
Those on the group flight will be met at the airport and transferred to our hotel in Quito this evening, the start point for the trip. Land only clients should meet at the start hotel.
Day 2
We drive through the Andes to Otavalo situated in a valley at 2250m. Saturday is the main market day at this famous and bustling Indian market; whilst there are usually a few stalls set up on other days, this is the locals' day and so we see the market at its most exciting! Around the main town square there will be hundreds of stalls and many locals wearing traditional colourful clothes - a fantastic introduction to Andean life and a good place to pick up some souvenirs. We'll then continue on to a beatiful Hacienda, our lovely home for the next few nights at a comfortable altitude.
Day 3
We drive in the morning to Cuicocha Crater Lake at approximately 3,000m. This beautiful caldera (volcanic crater) is about 2 miles wide (3 km) and was formed about 3,100 years ago by a massive volcanic explosion. We will take a short undulating walk part way along the lake to take in the impressive scenery. We will then continue on to Cotacachi, the perfect place to get a feel for small town life in Ecuador. The settlement resides amidst verdant pastures, below a volcano and has cobblestone streets, a UNESCO developed market and some beautiful colonial buildings.
Day 4
In the morning we drive towards the northern part of Cotacachi Cayapas Nature Reserve, a 240,000 hectare area encompassing a vast, virtually untouched cloud forest. Mosses, orchids and ferns hang from the trees, some 500 species of bird have been recorded and sloths, anteaters and other small mammals can also be found here. Our walk commences from a small indigenous settlement at around 3,000m above sea level, taking us up to an altitude of around 3,200m where we can appreciate the beauty of the cloud forest. On the way back to our hacienda we stop at the thermal springs of Chachimbiro for a comforting hot bath (optional).
Day 5
We drive back to UNESCO awarded Quito stopping in Cayambe en route at the Equator line for that essential photo opportunity! In the afternoon we'll take a walking tour of old Quito - the heart of which is a colonial masterpiece and one of the most beautiful cities in South America.
Day 6
We'll start quite early on our drive over the dramatic (and breathless at 4,064m!) Papallacta Pass to the east of Quito. Antisana Volcano stands proud and snowcapped at 5,758m and we drive around its flanks before the long descent into the Amazon Basin and to our rustic rainforest lodge. We'll have a briefing upon arrival here and when ready will start to explore our new surroundings on a short night walk - a lot warmer than Quito and an exotic experience with fantastic nighttime sounds.
Day 7
We'll explore this part of the vast Amazonian basin by canoe and on foot. The incredible biodiversity of the rainforest will be explained by our indigenous guide. Our lodge here is based in secondary forest (we would need to travel a lot further west to reach the primary forest) and whilst the lodge will serve as a great introduction to the forest and is a wonderful experience, this is not a zoo and you should not expect to see hordes of animals! Our guide will point out the most interesting and medicinal plants and we have a good chance of seeing some kingfisher, parrot, oropendula and other bird species. Larger mammals are considerably more shy and harder to spot. The insect life is also fascinating, with exotic and beautiful butterflies flashing by and army ants and leaf-cutters on patrol. We will also visit the Amazoonica animal rescue centre where we can meet some of the forest's larger inhabitants who are being rehabilitated towards release.
Day 8
We begin the wonderfully scenic drive west along the 'road of the waterfalls' with spectacular views of the upper Amazon Basin and the Andes towering above. The climb back to the highlands is mesmerising as we watch the ecology change and the many waterfalls cascade from the high peaks into the lush valley of the Pastaza River. There are plenty of photo opportunities along the way! We pass through Banos, a picturesque spa and pilgrim town adjacent to the 5,000m high volcano of Tungurahua. There is some time to explore Banos or take a bath at the hot springs. After dinner we drive to our hotel in Patate, as the Tungurahua Volcano is currently in an active phase and so it's likely that we will need to stay outside town in a safer area. Please note that we follow Foreign Office Advice regarding the volcanic activities of Tungurahua and if it seems wiser to, we will partake in various optional activities nearer to our hacienda.
Day 9
In the morning we drive to the Chimborazo area to visit the Chimborazo National Park at approx. 4,600m. We undertake a short hike and if time allows we can walk to the glacier of Chimborazo, Ecuador's highest peak. Due to the equatorial bulge, the summit is the furthest place from the centre of the earth! There are good possibilities to observe vicuñas here, a relative of the llama. In the afternoon we continue for the short drive to Riobamba where we stay overnight.
Day 10
We take the colourful train ride across the Andes through the steep and spectacular 'Nariz del Diablo' or 'the Devil's Nose'. The train ride gives us a wonderful opportunity to see rural life and small villages with vibrant markets. If the weather is clear, we can see smoking volcanoes as we chug slowly down a steep series of switchbacks with impressive drops. This train is very occasionally cancelled due to poor weather and cannot always be confirmed in peak periods. Please note that it is no longer permitted to sit on the roof during the train ride. We then head on to the incredible Inca Fortress at Ingapirca, Ecuador's principal ruin from the great Peruvian civilisation. The Inca Empire stretched along the Andes north through Ecuador into Colombia and south deep into Chile and Ingapirca has fine examples of their famed brickwork as well as a solar observatory. We will then descend down to beautiful, colonial Cuenca.
Day 11
Cuenca, like Quito's old centre, is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site and we take a guided tour of the charming city this morning. The old town is remarkably intact and compared to the hustle and bustle of Quito is a relaxing base for today. Many artisans have taken up residence amidst the narrow colonial streets and many famous landmarks. The afternoon is free to explore at your own leisure.
Day 12
We will head west in the morning for the short drive to Cajas N.P., its name meaning 'Gateway to the Snowy Mountains' in local Quichua. It is a stunning area of lofty peaks, lagoons, lakes and rivers amidst pristine paramo vegetation. This is another place where we may spot condor and also the Giant hummingbird amongst 125 other bird species. We will take a short walk here to look for wildlife and admire the scenery, the last chance for us to enjoy the Andean highlands. Our journey continues into the coastal lowlands and on to the port city of Guayaquil.
Day 13
The wildlife of Pacific Ecuador is both vigorous and utterly different to that in the highlands and so no trip to the country should be complete without a trip out from the coast. Today we board a boat at the small fishing community of Puerto Morro and cruise out to explore the huge mangrove forest sprawling across the many river inlets and islands to observe the wildlife. It is not unusual to see dolphins whilst we cruise amidst the estuary and they will often come and play and show off in the boat's wake. We will also land at a small island and take a walk here to view the birdlife, much of which is common to the Galapagos Islands. With luck we may see pelicans, cormorants and frigatebirds. We will return to Guayaquil for our final night after the boat trip.
Day 14
Those on group flights will return to the airport and arrive in the UK the following day.
Day 15
Arrive London.

Operation Summary for September 16, 2011 - September 19, 2011 |
The Integrated Luminosity for the period from 9/12/11 to 9/19/11 was 27.36 pb-1 (inverse picobarns). NuMI reported receiving 2.6E18 protons on target during this same period. |
Friday September 16 The day shift began with the Tevatron (TEV) conducting a 450 GeV 3x3 study store, with Operations monitoring the stash (358.8E10), with Pbar stacking (68E10), with the Main Injector (MI), Linac, and Booster operating normally, with NuMI off for a target change, with the MiniBooNE experiment taking beam, and with the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) and D-Zero (D0) using study stores. During the day shift, Operations terminated the 3x3 study store; this was the last of the TEV low energy study stores. Operators prepared D0 and CDF for 30-minute accesses at 9:12 AM. Operations established beam to the Meson FTBF experiment T-922 at 9:40 AM. Operators put the TEV into a dry squeeze at 10:44 AM and through a wet squeeze at 11:22 AM. Operations put the TEV into HEP shot setup at 12:35 PM and established store 9125 at 1:40 PM with an average initial luminosity (AIL) of 320.63E30. The I- Source vacuum valve closed at 1:49 PM; it opened. During the evening shift, Operations disabled beam to T-922 at 6:01 PM. At 9:13 PM, a Pbar Debuncher kicker stopped pulsing; operators investigated and then called in a Kicker person who swapped out the high voltage supply and made other adjustments. Pbar resumed stacking at 11:01 PM. Operators reported short downtimes due to a Linac RF station (LRF3), a Linac quadrupole magnet power supply (L:QPS115), a Linac Klystron RF station (KRF5), and a Booster RF station (BRF4), Saturday September 17 The midnight shift began with Operations monitoring store 9125 (91.22E30) and the stash (360.2E10), with Pbar stacking (8.3E10), and with MiniBooNE taking beam. During the midnight shift, Operations terminated store 9125 at 1:26 AM, put the TEV into shot setup, and established store 9126 at 2:48 AM with an AIL of 354.02E30.

At 10:04 AM, MiniBooNE suffered a horn strip line air pressure trip for the first of two times in eight minutes; operators notified a MiniBooNE person who reported that a sensor switch had gone bad. Operators bypassed the sensor; the MiniBooNE person will come in and investigate further. Water Works personnel reported at 12:44 PM that they were regenerating column #2 at CUB. At 2:22 PM, an operator and a MiniBooNE person accessed the MI-12 service building and unstuck the horn air pressure switch. D0 came out of access at 2:33 PM. Operations put the TEV through a dry squeeze at 3:16 PM and a wet squeeze at 3:57 PM. During the evening shift, Operations put the TEV through another wet squeeze at 5:17 PM. Operations put the TEV into shot setup at 5:38 PM and established store 9131 at 6:45 PM with an AIL of 365.8E30. At 9:01 PM, store 9131 aborted; there was no quench. Operators investigated and reported that the TEV sector C3 dump beam permit had tripped off due to the loss of a 5-volt power supply; operators called in an EE Support person who had the dump repaired by 11:54 PM. Sunday September 18 The midnight shift began with Operations monitoring the stash, with Pbar stacking, and with MiniBooNE taking beam.

Operators called in Linac personnel and put Pbar into standby. Monday September 19 The midnight shift began with Operations monitoring store 9135 and the stash, with Pbar and the MiniBooNE experiment off due to Linac being down. During the midnight shift, Linac personnel reported that they had replaced a fuse for the LRF1 driver anode; beam returned at 1:40 AM. At 2:29 AM, the TEV suffered a seven-house quench; operators investigated and believed the cause of the quench was from a kicker prefire. Cryo System personnel began the TEV sector C4 cold compressor pump down at 3:36 AM and then continued on with the rest of the houses. Operators put the TEV separators in conditioning mode, per a TEV person's instruction. At 5:27 AM, the I- Source vacuum valve closed; it reset and opened.

Tagged: World Bank
Oxfam campaigners across the world 'grabbed' famous landmarks on 7 February, to raise awareness about the impact of land grabs. Browse and share these images and get the World Bank to take action, now.
Investors are targeting the world's weakest-governed countries to buy land, according to new analysis published by Oxfam to mark today's international day of action on land grabs.
The World Bank and IMF must step up their support for developing countries who are struggling with spiking food prices along with the fallout from Europe's fiscal crisis, Oxfam said ahead of the annual meeting of the institutions in Tokyo this week.
Kristin Davis, Angelique Kidjo and Paul Theroux and others join the call on World Bank to temporarily freeze land deals in developing countries.
Big land deals are tearing whole communities apart, leaving people hungry and homeless. It's big business at a big cost. But the World Bank has the power to be a force for change, by protecting the rights of the world's poorest people. Act now to stop land grabs.
Land eight times the size of the UK was sold off globally in the last decade, enough to grow food for a billion people, or the equivalent to the number of people who go hungry in the world today.
What is a landgrab? Who's involved? What's the problem with big land deals – isn't investment a good thing? Our Land Grabs Q&A tells all.
Oxfam research shows that some big land deals are forcing hard working families from their homes, jobs and food. Stop the injustice – take action now.
As the International AIDS Conference wrapped up today, international aid agency Oxfam praised the advocates and the scientists who have ignited momentum to shift from "fighting AIDS" to "ending AIDS," and urged governments and the pharmaceutical industry to make this vision a reality.

WorldCat is a union catalog that itemizes the collections of 72,000 libraries in 170 countries and territories[1] which participate in the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) global cooperative. It is built and maintained collectively by the participating libraries.
The catalog was created in 1971. It contains more than 300 million records, representing over 2 billion physical and digital assets in more than 470 languages, as of January 2014[update].[1] It is the world's largest bibliographic database. OCLC makes WorldCat itself available free to libraries, but the catalog is the foundation for other fee-based OCLC services (such as resource sharing and collection management). WorldCat was founded by Fred Kilgour in 1967.[2]
In 2003, OCLC began the "Open WorldCat" pilot program, making abbreviated records from a subset of WorldCat available to partner web sites and booksellers, to increase the accessibility of its member libraries' collections. In 2006, it became possible to search WorldCat directly at its website. In 2007, WorldCat Identities began providing pages for 20 million "identities", predominantly authors and persons who are the subjects of published titles.
WorldCat operates on a batch processing model rather than a real-time model. That is, WorldCat records are synchronized at intermittent intervals with the underlying library catalogs instead of real-time or every day. WorldCat shows that a particular item is owned by a particular library, but does not provide that library's call number. It also does not indicate if the item is currently borrowed, lost, undergoing restoration or repair, or moved to storage not directly accessible to patrons (thereby forcing them to submit a retrieval request and wait). WorldCat also does not show if a library owns multiple copies of a particular title.
As an alternative, WorldCat allows participating institutions to add direct links from WorldCat to their own catalog entries for a particular item, which enables the user to determine its real-time status. However, this still requires users to open multiple Web pages, each pointing to a different OPAC with its own distinctive user interface design (which places item status in a different portion of the Web browser display), until they can locate a catalog entry that shows the item is currently available at a particular library.

He was 92."

The goal of the Title III grant (Journey), is to improve the retention and graduation rates among at-risk STEM students.
Journey will provide a system of personalized case management, tracking for career counseling, mentoring, Learning Communities, and Individualized Graduation Plans - assisting students in the realization of their own talents, potential, and skills that will ultimately lead to a successful career.
Over the course of five years, Journey will target a specific population of students with statistically low enrollment and retention rates: those in Engineering, Health Sciences, Nursing and Associate in Science programs, as well as students who have not yet decided on a career path.
Each student in the program may be given the following assessments based on their individual needs:
Personality Assessments
Job Skill Tests
Mechanical Aptitude Exams
College Student Inventory Assessments
Everyday Reasoning Tests
Critical Thinking with Belief Tests
Strength Finder Assessments
Career Coach
Career Coach is designed to help you find a good career by providing the most current local data on wages, employment, job postings, and associated education and training. Through a simple keyword search, students and any visitor to the college's website can learn about the employment prospects of careers they want to research. The real-time information is customized to the college's geographic region. To get started, click here or the Career Coach icon.
Call (864)941-8356, email a staff member or visit the Career Planning and Counseling Center located at 149A on the Greenwood Campus.
Piedmont Technical College (PTC) is the largest and most diverse technical college district in the state, serving seven South Carolina counties. Providing for a diverse community of educational needs, PTC has received a Strengthening Institutions Title III Grant program to set students on a path to excellence. The project, officially entitled Supporting Opportunities in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) and dubbed "Journey," will provide valuable career planning and counseling resources to at-risk students who are particularly vulnerable to failure in college level courses. In an effort to improve the retention and completion rates of the targeted populations, students are introduced to curricula that best fit their strengths, skills, values, and personality types. As a result, students are provided an opportunity to select a major and/or career path in which they will excel. Journey intends to create an Individualized Graduation Plan for each student in the program, providing these students with the necessary tools and information to ensure their success here at PTC. By setting strategic goals and a customized plan, each student has the resources to succeed in a curriculum that best suits them.

- Peaches; Newington, Royal George, Bellegrade.
- Pears; Windsor, Beurre, Jargonelle.
- Plums; Golden Drop, Green Gage, Egg, South American, Orleans, Damson.
- Apples; Permain, Mobb's Royal, French Codlin, Ribstane Pippin, Red Colville.
- Figs; Malta and Spanish.
- Nectarines, Filbert, Mulberry, Loquat trees, Quinces, Cherries etc.
Today the topic of fruit is very much on my mind. I'd forgotten to order the damson plums from the Hawkes Bay and thought I'd missed the season, but I was delighted to find the season is in full swing and my plums will arrive this week.
If you have ever tasted damson plum jam, you would never again buy the insipid concoctions the supermarkets offer.
Next month is guava time for making jelly. I gave most of it away last year and ran very short of it, so I'll be making a lot this year if I can get them. The little trees grow like weeds in Auckland and many people don't ever do anything with the fruit except let it rot on the ground - what a waste and it tastes divine. Pick a bucket of mature and immature fruits to get the jelly to set and taste the best.
Other favourites are Crabb apple jelly and Golden Queen peaches.
