The information sought by Lokeshwar Dev included copies of complaints against him, and also other details including SEBI's opinion and clarifications on matters concerning the case
In an unusual use of the Right to Information (RTI) route, the main accused of over Rs 1,500-crore 'StockGuru' scam has tried to get complaints and other information against him with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), but his request has been rejected.
The information sought by Lokeshwar Dev, who is said to have used different names, including that of Ulhas Khaire, for different fraudulent schemes, included copies of complaints against him, and also other details including SEBI's opinion and clarifications on matters concerning the case.
Not satisfied with SEBI's response to his RTI (Right to Information) query, Ulhas approached the regulator's Appellate Authority in April this year, but his appeal was dismissed through an order passed yesterday.
Lokeshwar Dev and his wife Priyanka Dev, both of whom have used numerous names and were arrested by Delhi Police's Economic Offences Wing in November last year, are facing a multi-agency probe for allegedly duping lakhs of investors of more than Rs1,500 crore.
The agencies probing the matter include CBI and the Enforcement Directorate (ED), while SEBI passed an order in January this year against the couple and other entities associated with them, wherein they were barred from the capital markets for ten years and were asked to refund the money collected fraudulently from the gullible investors.
The entities floated by the two for their dubious schemes included Stock Guru India (SGI), SGI Research and Analysis and StockGuru.com.
Subsequently, SEBI in March this year received an RTI application from Ulhas or Lokeshwar Dev, seeking replies to his 27 queries related to his company, SGI Research and Analysis.
SEBI replied to the RTI query on 3rd April, but the appellate filed an appeal with the Appellate Authority on 15th April against SEBI's response and said that the information given by the regulator was "incomplete and incorrect" and not what he was seeking for.
"I feel they (SEBI) are deliberately and intentionally hiding the information so that justice is denied to me," he said in his appeal.
Hearing his petition, the Appellate Authority said that SEBI had told Ulhas that "the information sought by him was in the nature of seeking opinion/clarification/explanation from SEBI and did not fall within the definition of 'information' as defined under the RTI Act".
The Appellate Authority also concurred with SEBI's view that said that the information sought in 19 out of the total 27 queries were indeed "in the nature of seeking clarification, opinion, explanation, etc from SEBI" and therefore the regulator cannot be obliged to provide a response to such request for information through RTI.
According to stock brokerages, while the return of Narayana Murthy is positive for Infosys in terms of leadership, he will have to take care of the company's communication strategy, succession plan, cash management and cost control
The second inning of Infosys founder NR Narayana Murthy as executive chairman of the information technology (IT) company is termed as morale boosting by analysts at broking firms. However, brokerages, especially Nomura and Barclays, are cautious over the long-term due to several impending issues and challenges that the company founder would have to face head on.
Nomura feels that Narayana Murthy returning as chairman is a positive as it would strengthen the leadership bench at a challenging time for the company, boost employee morale and possibly improve communication to stakeholders.
Barclays, on the other hand expects the company to focus more on long-term growth and take few steps with quicker returns. Infosys (and Narayana Murthy) need to take quick steps in communication strategy, succession plan for chief executive, cash management and cost control, the brokerage says.
According to Nomura, a sustainable turnaround is less likely to be forthcoming, while in the near term Infosys could continue to see sluggish revenue growth and margin pressures. "...we think the challenges for Infosys remain with, no material revival in discretionary spending (about 40% of revenues from this segment, weaker positioning and smaller scale in cost efficiency segments driving growth like infrastructure management services (IMS) and business process outsourcing (BPO) v/s competition and continuing margin pressure from cost escalation and pricing flexibility. In addition, US immigration bill remains an overhang, and if passed the bill could further depress an already flattish earnings growth over FY13-15F," it said in a note.
Religare Capital Markets, on the other hand, expects Narayana Murthy's return to help bolster the leadership and re-ignite the morale of Infosys. It said, "While a mixed demand outlook is a near-term challenge for growth, at least internal issues like customer connect, sales and cost structure can be addressed. Overall the return of Narayana Murthy will lend lot of credence to vision, leadership and execution, which should drive near-term re-rating."
Here are the issues, listed by Barclays, which Narayana Murthy would face in his second inning at Infosys...
Communication: Infosys stock has exhibited high volatility around earnings with the shares moving more than 5% on six out of past 10 quarterly results. In the past two result seasons, the stock has moved about 20% on the result day. This indicates ineffective communication on result expectations. Furthermore, the company suspended quarterly guidance in October 2012 and full year earnings guidance from April 2013. We agree that weak performance could be one reason behind higher volatility; however, we also note that despite weak performance, peers like Wipro have exhibited lower stock volatility and a more stable guidance philosophy.
CEO: The next management change (due by March 2015) would be the first transition to a "non founder" CEO for the company. Given the disruption around the last CEO change, we believe it is vital for Infosys to come out with a definite succession plan significantly before the event to manage internal transition and allay investor concerns.
Cash: Low dividend payout (and a reducing payout ratio over the past two years) along with a cautious acquisition strategy have led to a cash pile of $4 billion with the company. While historical conservatism around cash usage could be explained by smaller size and rapid growth, we believe that the management needs to significantly improve its lazy capital structure to increase shareholder value.
Costs: Infosys employee costs have increased by +270bps in the past five years compared with -650bps for TCS. While weaker revenue growth could be one reason, we note that Accenture has been able to protect its margins despite slower revenues growth on account of stricter focus on costs.

|Re: Problem with default context when moving from 5.5.7 to 5.5.12
|Thu, 01 Dec 2005 18:11:47 GMT
Thanks very much Chuck! That did indeed fix my problem. I have a couple of related questions though... > > > > This worked fine for me in 5.5.7 (on many machines). > > But it shouldn't have. I suspect this was one of the bugs fixed between > .7 and .12, where the documented rules are more tightly enforced. I agree, but the best documentation I could find on this was: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html ...and there's nothing in that document that would lead me to try what you suggested, even reading now knowing that is the solution. In addition, there is that spot (directly quoted in my first email, but I'll paraphrase here) that first says "don't put context elements in your server.xml file" then says "context elements for the default context must go in your server.xml file" and then says "you must provide a default context". I don't see how all three statements can be true, and yet that is all I had to go off of. Where are you getting documentation that more accurately explains the context setup, and led you to the solution you provided? Thanks!

However it is subject to change, and does not form part of the contract between the client and the operator. The itinerary featured is correct at time of printing. It may differ slightly to the one in the brochure. Occasionally our itineraries change as we make improvements that stem from past travellers, comments and our own research.

Itinerary Disclaimer
While it is our intention to adhere to the route described below, there is a certain amount of flexibility built into the itinerary and on occasion it may be necessary, or desirable to make alterations. The itinerary is brief, as we never know exactly where our journey will take us. Due to our style of travel and the regions we visit, travel can be unpredictable. The Trip Details document is a general guide to the tour and region and any mention of specific destinations or wildlife is by no means a guarantee that they will be visited or encountered. Aboard expedition trips visits to research stations depend on final permission.
Additionally, any travel times listed are approximations only and subject to vary due to local circumstances.
Important Notes
Please note that this tour is a combination of two G Adventure trips. As such, the staff and/or particular vehicles operating your tour may change between tour segments. The different sections of your trip will be led by different CEOs, one in Ecuador and one in Peru. You may also expect some group members to join or leave the tour, between tour segments.
The rules and regulations controlling the Inca Trail and Machu Picchu are continually changing. Before embarking on your adventure to Peru it is very important that you familiarize yourself with the Inca Trail booking policies and guidelines as described in a document available on our website, at the following URL address:
Please advise at time of booking if you do not wish to hike the Inca Trail. Instead, you will have 2 nights in Cusco, travel by train for a night in Aguas Calientes, and join the hikers for the tour of Machu Picchu.
Portions of the Inca Trail will be closed for general maintenance during the month of February each year. Also, closures may occur at various times throughout the year due to inclement weather or other conditions beyond our control. During these periods, any tour affected will hike the Lares Trek.
Once you have confirmed your booking please give us your international flight details and advise us if you have any important issues such as allergies, special diets, etc.
The Ecuadorian government currently levies a Galapagos Islands Park entry fee of $100 USD per person. This is payable at the airport upon arrival in the park. It is not included in the cost of the tour, and must be paid in CASH. This fee funds Park maintenance and supervision in Galapagos, as well as ecological study, conservation and infrastructure development in Ecuador's other National Parks. Entry fees and the funds they generate for the National Park System are among measures taken by the Ecuadorian government to protect its natural heritage.
The Galapagos National Park authorities have implemented a system of Transit Control Cards at a fee of $20 USD per person. This card is to be purchased in CASH at a counter in the Quito airport before boarding the flight to the Galapagos. Please retain this card along with your passport as you will be required to present this upon arrival to the Galapagos Islands. Please note that this applies to all tourists entering the Galapagos Islands and is a supplement to the existing entry fee to the National Park and is not controlled by tour operators or travel agencies. It is the first of a number of initiatives to track, control and maintain the sustainable tourism targets set out by the Galapagos National Park and the Ecuadorian government in an attempt to preserve the fragile environment of the archipelago.
Please note that the rooming on our Galapagos yachts is done on a first-come, first-serve basis, and we are not able to guarantee the specific cabin you will receive on board. The cabins are comfortable and clean, all with private bathrooms. Due to the specific location of the cabins on board, the window sizes vary as well as the noise at times when the boat is navigating, given the proximity of the cabin to the engine room. Our friendly and competent crew will ensure the smooth and comfortable journey for the duration of your tour.
9. All travellers are required to pay the tax on domestic flights in Peru and Ecuador. Foreign travellers are exempt form this, and proving you are indeed a foreign traveller can be done by providing us with your international ticket number (ITN). Travellers who do not submit international ticket numbers at least 30 days prior to Day 1 of their tour will be required to pay the domestic tax on all included flights.
Group Leader Description
All G Adventures group trips are accompanied by one of our group leaders, a G Adventures representative, or an expedition team. The aim of the group leader is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. They will provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends. While not being guides in the traditional sense you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the countries visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects. We also use local guides where we think more specific knowledge will add to the enjoyment of the places we are visiting- we think it's the best of both worlds. For our shipboard expeditions and voyages we have a highly experienced shipboard staff and crew, including a local naturalist guide in the Galapagos (certified by the Galapagos National Park).
Group Size Notes
Max 16, Avg 12
Eating is a big part of traveling. G Adventures understands the importance of breakfast to start your day, we strive to include a basic breakfast wherever possible. A typical breakfast may include toast, coffee and tea, however this may vary depending on the city. Should breakfast not be included, your CEO can suggest some local options.
Travelling with G Adventures you experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available out in the world. Generally meals are not included in the trip price when there is a choice of eating options, to give you the maximum flexibility in deciding where, what and with whom to eat. It also gives you more budgeting flexibility, though generally food is cheap. Our groups tend to eat together to enable you to taste a larger variety of dishes and enjoy each other's company. There is no obligation to do this though. Your CEO will be able to suggest favourite restaurants during your trip.
For all trips please refer to the meals included and budget information for included meals and meal budgets.

Local Flights
All local flights are included in the cost of your tour unless otherwise noted. It is important that we have your passport information at the time of booking in order to process these tickets. Internal flight tickets are issued locally and will be given to you prior to the flight departure.
Solo Travellers
We believe single travellers should not have to pay more to travel so our group trips are designed for shared accommodation and do not involve a single supplement. Single travellers joining group trips are paired in twin or multi-share accommodation with someone of the same sex for the duration of the trip. Some of our Independent trips are designed differently and single travellers on these itineraries must pay the single trip price.
Hotels (6 nts), twin-share cabins on board our motorized yacht (4 nts), camping (3 nts).

Joining Instructions
The Quito International Airport is approximately an hour outside of the city centre where your joining hotel is located.The easiest way to get there is via taxi (approximately $30-40 USD). Immediately after the customs and immigration area, as you head to the exits, you will find a taxi stand. We strongly recommend you pay for the car at set rates from the taxi stand and therefore won't need to worry about sorting out a ride outside the airport facilities, where the situation tends to get more chaotic with many drivers vying for few clients. The taxis outside the airport area do not belong to the Taxi Airport Union and may charge higher fares.
If you have paid in advance for an arrival transfer, a representative will be waiting at the airport to meet you holding a G Adventures sign with your name, directly in front of the arrivals section, There are often many people holding signs so we recommend to take some time to locate the rep with a G Adventures logo and sign with your name. If for any reason you are not met at the airport, you can go directly to the H.A.T.S. counter (Hotel and Airline Transportation Services) which is situated directly in front of the international arrival area, next to the taxi stand, and they will be able to assist you. In addition you may call our local support line at 0999 506 000. If you are unable to make contact for whatever reason, please make your way to the joining point hotel via taxi and report the issue to a G Adventures representative at the welcome meeting.
Please note that Day 1 is an arrival day and no activities have been planned for that day so you can arrive at any time. Similarly the last day is a departure day in which no activities have been planned.
Your CEO will organize a short meeting soon after arrival, during which you will meet other tour participants and receive information about general and specific aspects of the trip. Your CEO will contact you at the hotel on Day 1 and make sure you are settled comfortably. If you arrive late, s/he will leave you a message detailing what time and where you should meet the next morning.
Arrival Complications
We don't expect any problems, and nor should you, but if for any reason you are unable to commence your trip as scheduled, as soon as possible please contact your starting point hotel, requesting that you speak to or leave a message for your CEO (if you are not on a group tour please refer to the emergency contact details provided in this dossier). If you are unable to get in touch with your leader, please refer to our emergency contact details. If you have pre-booked an airport transfer and have not made contact with our representative within 30 minutes of clearing customs and immigration, we recommend that you make your own way to the Starting Point hotel, following the Joining Instructions. Please apply to your travel agent on your return for a refund of the transfer cost if this occurs.
Emergency Contact
Should you need to contact us during a situation of dire need, it is best to first call either the G Adventures Local Representative (if one is listed below) or our G Adventures Local Office. If for any reason you do not receive an immediate answer, please leave a detailed message and contact information, so they may return your call and assist you as soon as possible.
If you have purchased an arrival through G Adventures or if an arrival transfer is included in the cost of your tour, please note that:
Your arrival transfer has been arranged based on flight information provided to us. If you are advised of a flight schedule change within 48 hours of your scheduled arrival time, we will do our best to rearrange your arrival transfer however we cannot guarantee this.

Please note that Day 7 you will fly from Quito to Lima for the second part of the trip. Included in this trip is your transfer to the airport and your flight to Lima. A transfer will be waiting for you at Lima airport and will transfer you to your hotel where you will be contacted by a G Adventures representative regarding the next portion of the tour. You will be off to Cusco the next morning.
Upon leaving the customs area, follow the gates and turn right to exit the airport. Just before exiting there is a small area on the left hand side where the official transfers are waiting with signs. Look for a G Adventures sign board with your name in this area. If for any reason you do not see it, go to the customer service area to wait. In the event that your driver does not arrive within 20 minutes please ask the information desk to arrange an official taxi for you which should cost approximately $20 USD and this money will be reimbursed by your CEO or G Adventures representative.
NB – As you walk out of the airport there will be many drivers holding signs with agency or passenger names as well as taxi drivers asking you if you require their services. These are not our drivers and you should not accept their services.
If you wish for us to arrange a return Cusco to Lima flight, you may consider staying a day or two extra in Cusco to allow sufficient enough time to see all that the city has to offer.
What to Take
Most people automatically assume that the weather is hot in South America, but because of the higher altitude in the Andes, the temperature can feel quite cold, especially at night.
We recommend the use of a duffel bag or backpack, whichever is easiest for you to carry. A good size daypack is also essential.
There is not a lot of extra space on the boat in the Galapagos. Life aboard the yacht is very informal, making casual, comfortable clothing a must.
Please note that Galapagos is a protected National Park so your luggage will be checked before arrival and departure to and from the islands. Don't bring with you any food, seeds or other organic material that could affect the delicate ecosystem of the islands.
Porters are not often available, so be prepared to carry your own bags. Please remember that you can leave unnecessary articles in your joining hotel storage room.
Please do not bring any alcoholic beverages aboard, as your boat has a bar offering a variety of alcoholic drinks and prices are reasonable.
LUGGAGE ALLOWANCE ON THE BOAT: Please note that the amount of luggage you can bring on the boat is LIMITED due to small cabin size. We recommend travellers use soft sided duffel bags of 40-50 litres in capacity. We will accept luggage types onboard, however if you are a single traveller sharing with another traveller, it´s especially important to keep in mind that cabins are small in size and it´s best to pack light. Luggage storage facilities are available at the start hotel for anything you don´t need while you are exploring the Galapagos.
Please note that the electric outlets on this boat are 110v and will have either 2 flat prongs or two pin-like prongs. If necessary please bring an adaptor with you for your electric devices, ie, battery chargers.

Detailed Trip Notes
G Adventures ADVENTURER YACHT
Our Galapagos boat, the g1, is an air-conditioned motor vessel with a capacity for 16 passengers. Each cabin (upper and lower berths) features a full view window and private bathroom facilities. The g1 offers a clean and casual setting with all the necessary comforts. It is staffed by 8 crew members, including a certified naturalist guide. Your total comfort is ensured by our helpful, cheerful staff who will attend to your every need. Additional vessel features include cozy bar, a small library and dining room. All meals are provided and are served aboard the vessel. Water, coffee and tea are provided, and you may purchase alcoholic beverages, bottled water and soft drinks on the boat. In addition, you are allowed to bring your own non-alcoholic beverages with you if you have any personal preferences.
PLEASE NOTE: At times, when the g1 is being serviced, we will use another boat of equivalent standard and size.
The daily schedule consists of a shore excursion immediately following breakfast, lunch aboard and perhaps a siesta before the afternoon shore excursion. In the evening after dinner, your naturalist guide will brief you on the islands to be visited thefollowing day. You are ferried from the yacht to shore via small boats called pangas. Landings are either "dry" or "wet", where you might have to wade ashore in shallow water. Your naturalist guide will accompany you during all excursions.
This is a G Adventures Classic tour, all accommodation will be Tourist Class and of a Standard service level.
Located on the Equator, the Galapagos climate is tempered by the Humboldt Current, so you do not experience extreme heat. The warmest weather is December to June, when temperatures range from 22-33°C (72-90 °F), and the water temperature isin the mid 20s (mid 70°F). From July to November, the temperatures are cooler and range from 18-24°C (60s -75°F). The average water temperature rarely reaches 21°C (70°F).
Spending Money
Every traveller is different and therefore spending money requirements will vary. Some travellers may drink more than others while other travellers like to purchase more souvenirs than most. Please consider your own spending habits when it comes to allowing for drinks, shopping and tipping. Please also remember the following specific recommendations when planning your trip.
Money Exchange
Credit cards and debit cards are very useful for cash advances. Visa cards are the most widely accepted cards. While ATMs are widely available some may not accept all international credit or debit cards. You may need to try at more than one machine if the first does not accept your card. You should also check with your bank before leaving to ensure that your card works internationally. You should be aware that to purchase products or services on a credit card a fee of 5%-10% usually applies. Do not rely on credit or debit cards as your only source of money. A combination of US dollar cash and cards is best. Always take more rather than less, as you don't want to spoil the trip by constantly feeling short of funds. Please bring USD banknotes in denominations smaller than 100, as they can be hard to exchange in Ecuador. 100 dollar bills of certain series (e.g. CB B2) can be especially hard to cash! CURRENCY EXCHANGE TIP: Please be advised that slightly torn notes, notes that have been heavily marked or are faded may be difficult to exchange. It is best to bring notes in fairly good condition, in denominations lower than 100USD (or equivalent). As currency exchange rates can fluctuate often we ask that you refer to the following website for daily exchange rates: www.xe.com
Emergency Fund
It is customary in Latin America to tip service providers such as waiters, at approximately 10%, depending on the service. Tipping is an expected – though not compulsory – component of your tour program and an expression of satisfaction with the persons who have assisted you on your tour. Although it may not be customary to you, it is of considerable significance to the people who will take care of you during your travels. There are several times during the trip where there is opportunity to tip the local guides or drivers we use. You may do this individually, or your CEO will offer to collect the money and tip as a group. Recommendations for tipping drivers and local guides would range from $5-10 USD per day depending on the quality and length of the service. You will receive a tipping guideline for the Inca Trail / Lares Trek from your CEO in Cusco.
Tipping is an expected – though not compulsory – component of your tour program and an expression of satisfaction with the persons who have assisted you on your tour. Although it may not be customary to you, it is of considerable significance to the people who will take care of you during your travels. At the end of each trip if you felt your G Adventures CEO or and crew did an outstanding job, tipping is appreciated. There will be two envelopes left in your cabin on the final night of your tour, one for the CEO and one for crew members. The amount is entirely a personal preference, however as a guideline a per traveller tip of 7-10 USD, per day for your CEO and 10-15 USD per day for the crew can be used.

Please note inoculations may be required for the country visited. It is your responsibility to consult with your travel doctor for up to date medical travel information well before departure.
You should consult your doctor for up-to-date medical travel information well before departure. We recommend that you carry a First Aid kit and hand sanitizers / antibacterial wipes as well as any personal medical requirements. Please be aware that quite often we are in remote areas and away from medical facilities, and for legal reasons our leaders are prohibited from administering any type of drug including headache tablets, antibiotics, etc. When selecting your trip please carefully read the brochure and itinerary and assess your ability to cope with our style of travel. Please refer to the Physical ratings for trip specific information. G Adventures reserves the right to exclude any traveller from all or part of a trip without refund if in the reasonable opinion of our CEO they are unable to complete the itinerary without undue risk to themselves and/or the rest of the group.
Please note your Adventure travels to high altitude. This is medically defined as anything over 8,000 feet (2,440 meters). Most people can travel to 8,000 feet with minimal effects. However,everyone reacts to altitude differently and altitude sickness can on set with some people irrespective of fitness and age. For details on how to best prepare and what to do in the unlikely event you are effected on your Adventure, please consult your physician.
Safety and Security
Many national governments provide a regularly updated advice service on safety issues involved with international travel. We recommend that you check your government's advice for their latest travel information before departure. We strongly recommend the use of a neck wallet or money belt while travelling, for the safe keeping of your passport, air tickets, travellers' cheques, cash and other valuable items. Leave your valuable jewellery at home – you won't need it while travelling. Many of the hotels we use have safety deposit boxes, which is the most secure way of storing your valuables. A lock is recommended for securing your luggage. When travelling on a group trip, please note that your CEO has the authority to amend or cancel any part of the trip itinerary if it is deemed necessary due to safety concerns. Your CEO will accompany you on all included activities. During your trip you will have some free time to pursue your own interests, relax and take it easy or explore at your leisure. While your CEO will assist you with options available in a given location please note that any optional activities you undertake are not part of your itinerary, and we offer no representations about the safety of the activity or the standard of the operators running them. Please use your own good judgment when selecting an activity in your free time. Although the cities visited on tour are generally safe during the day, there can be risks to wandering throughout any major city at night. It is our recommendation to stay in small groups and to take taxis to and from restaurants, or during night time excursions.
Protests and Demonstrations- Protests and demonstrations, even those that are well intended, have the potential to turn violent with no warning. Counter protests can also turn violent. Action by security forces to disperse demonstrators and protesters may occur at any time. If you are in an area where demonstrators or protesters are gathering, avoid the temptation of staying for a good photo opportunity and leave the area immediately.
Water based activities have an element of danger and excitement built into them. We recommend only participating in water based activities when accompanied by a guide(s). We make every reasonable effort to ensure the fun and adventurous element of any water based activities (in countries with varying degrees of operating standards) have a balanced approach to safety. It is our policy not to allow our CEOs to make arrangements on your behalf for water based activities that are not accompanied by guide(s).
Swimming, including snorkeling, is always at your own risk.
We take all prudent measures in relation to your safety. For ways to further enhance your personal safety while traveling, please visit:
Trip Specific Safety
Please take care when wandering around on your own both in Quito and in Lima, as some areas can be dangerous and pick-pockets are daring.
Medical Form
Our small group adventures bring together people of all ages. It is very important you are aware that, as a minimum, an average level of fitness and mobility' is required to undertake our easiest programs. Travellers must be able to walk without the aid of another person, climb 3-4 flights of stairs, step on and off small boats, and carry their own luggage at a minimum. Travellers with a pre-existing medical condition are required to complete a short medical questionnaire, which must be signed by their physician. This is to ensure that travellers have the necessary fitness and mobility to comfortably complete their chosen trip. While our CEOs work hard to ensure that all our travellers are catered for equally, it is not their responsibility to help individuals who cannot complete the day's activities unaided. Please refer to the physical ratings in this Trip Details document for more information.
The medical questionnaire can be found online at:
A Couple of Rules
Illegal drugs will not be tolerated on any trips. Possessing or using drugs not only contravenes the laws of the land but also puts the rest of the group at risk. Smoking marijuana and opium is a part of local culture in some parts of the world but is not acceptable for our travellers. Our philosophy of travel is one of respect towards everyone we encounter, and in particular the local people who make the world the special place it is. The exploitation of prostitutes is completely contrary to this philosophy. Our CEOs have the right to expel any member of the group if drugs are found in their possession or if they use prostitutes.
Travel Insurance
Travel Insurance: Travel insurance is compulsory in order to participate on any of our trips. When travelling on a group trip, you will not be permitted to join the group until evidence of travel insurance has been sighted by your CEO, who will take note of your insurance details. When selecting a travel insurance policy please bear in mind that all clients must have medical coverage and that we require a minimum coverage of USD 200,000 for repatriation and emergency rescue. We strongly recommend that the policy also covers personal liability, cancellation, curtailment and loss of luggage and personal effects. If you have credit card insurance we require proof of purchase of the trip (a receipt of credit card statement) with a credit card in your name. Contact your bank for details of their participating insurer, the level of coverage and emergency contact telephone number.
Planeterra-The G Adventures Foundation
Through our commitment to responsible tourism we have developed the Planeterra Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of people and communities around the world through support of international charities, local organizations and community projects in the places that we visit on our tours. G Adventures matches all individual donations and pays all administration costs, which means that 100% of each donation is doubled and goes directly to support our projects. For more information about Planeterra and the projects we support, or to make a donation, please visit www.planeterra.org
Planeterra Dollar-A-Day Program
Our Dollar-A-Day Program provides travellers with the opportunity to help us give back to the people and places visited on our tours by donating one dollar per day for the duration of their tour. 100% of these proceeds will go directly to support our G Adventures for Good projects.
To participate in this program please indicate at the time of booking that you would like to participate in G Adventures' Dollar-A-Day program, either by clicking the check box online, or by advising your G Adventures specialist or travel agent. (Note: Donation will be charged in the currency of your booking)
Associated Planeterra Project
Through Planeterra, G Adventures supports the Galapagos Conservancy.
The Galapagos Conservancy (GC) is a non-profit membership organization dedicated to promoting conservation, education and scientific research in and on behalf of the Galapagos Islands. GC raises funds from individuals and institutions to support projects in the Galapagos. They also conduct seminars, briefings and other public education and advocacy efforts to inform the general public about conservation issues and the work being undertaken in Galapagos by the Charles Darwin Research Station and the Galapagos National Park Service.
All donations to this project through Planeterra directly support the Marine Turtle project at Quinta Playa in the Galapagos Islands. Implemented by the Charles Darwin Research Station, this is an ecological project monitoring one of the green sea turtles' most important nesting sites in the Galapagos Islands.
The overall goal is to evaluate the green turtle colony in Quinta Playa through systematic monitoring of nesting parameters, hatchling recruitment, basking behaviour and nesting habitat quality.
Main Objectives of this project are:
• Estimate the size of the green turtle nesting colony in Quinta Playa
• Study the effects of human activities such as tourism, fishing and garbage on the green turtle population
• Promote the conservation of green turtles
• Share results with Galapagos National Park in order to protect and conserve sea turtles
In Peru, Planeterra supports the following projects:
Inti Runakunaq Wasin (IRW) is Quechua for "House of the People of the Sun". It is a non-profit organization based in Cusco that acts as a haven for children and adolescents who live in extreme poverty. The home is open during the day and is run by a staff of volunteer teachers and social workers. Children are given the opportunity to voluntarily drop-in to receive help with homework, a warm meal and participate in a variety of classes and workshops that teach them valuable skills including jewelry making, leather working, cooking, music and English. IRW currently supports 50 children through their programs. However, there are still many more children working and living on the streets of Cusco.
After fundraising for 5 years, a dream was made into a reality in 2009 when Planeterra purchased a permanent home for IRW. Planeterra continues to support the children's training workshops and support programs.
It is possible to visit this project on most tours that pass through Cusco. To arrange a visit please speak to your G Adventures CEO.
How You Can Help? All donations to this project are being matched by G Adventures, please go to www.planterra.org to learn more or make a donation.

Next Episode: Episode 8
Episode 7: Old Groaner
James complains about getting old, but the other engines just ignore him. An inspector tells him people living nearby are complaining about a groaning noise keeping them awake at night. It turns out James' brake blocks have been rubbing together from shunting. James is pleased to get a rest, but not when he is nicknamed Old Groaner!

- Sir Topham Hatt

- Gordon (cameo)
- Percy (cameo)

Part One
Narrator: James was feeling unusually sorry for himself.
James: {grumbling sadly} I'm getting old! I just can't get about like I used to. It's all right for you younger ones, but my wheels are getting stiff!
Narrator: Thomas and Edward had been on the Island of Sodor longer than James, but they didn't say so. Henry grew tired of James' complaints.
Henry: {sarcastically} Poor Old Groaner! It's no use of you just sitting there and moaning! Why don't you tell Sir Topham Hatt that you're past it?!
Narrator: But James didn't like that idea, especially because of the way Henry had said it. Not all old engines - so he heard - were preserved. Some - so they said - were sold for scrap! James shuddered at the thought, and quickly decided not to take a chance on it.
{Cut to night at Brendam Docks.}
Narrator: As it's name suggested, the Midnight Goods left Brendam Docks at midnight. Usually, Boco pulled it, but he was away being mended. James had to take it instead, and he grumbled like anything!
James: All this extra shunting!
Sing-a-Long Segment
{Cut to Molly and Emily on a stage}
Molly: And now we come to that part of the series where we ask all of you out there in the audience to sing along with the Fab Four. Emily, the sign please!
Emily: A little lower, Charlie! Now a bit more to the right! Hold it right there! Well, Molly, what do you think?
Molly: It's utterly far!
Emily: I'd figure it myself to get the people sinin'!
Molly: The word is "sing-ing".
Emily: Sinin', that's what I said!
Molly: -ing! Singing! You really aught to pay more attention with your pronunciation!
Emily: What's wrong with the way I pronounceiate them?
Molly: Well, for one, you're always dropping your G's.
Emily: What do you mean, droppin' my G's?
Molly: See, you did it again! The word is dropping-ing!
Emily: {shrugs} Aw, what's the difference? Dropping a G never hurts anybody.
{The G in "along" falls and lands on Emily's smokebox.}
Molly: Oh no? What are you going to say about it now?
Emily: G-likers! {passes out}
Molly: Now let's sing friends. A-one, a-two...
The Beatles:
Well, come on pretty baby, won't you walk with me?
Come on, pretty baby, won't you talk with me?
Come on pretty baby, give me one more chance.
To try to save our romance!
Slow down, baby, now you're movin' way too fast.
You gotta gimme little lovin', gimme little lovin',
Ow! if you want our love to last.
Well, I used to walk you home, baby, after school,
Carry your books home, too.
But now you got a boyfriend down the street,
Baby what you're tryin' to do?
You better slow down!
Baby, now you're movin' way too fast.
You gotta gimme little lovin', gimme little lovin',
Bbbbb! if you want our love to last.
Well you know that I love you, tell the world I do.
Come on, pretty baby, why can't you be true?
I need your love baby, oh so bad,
The best little woman that I've ever had
Slow down, baby, now you're movin' way too fast.
You gotta gimme little lovin', gimme little lovin',
Ow! if you want our love to last.
{Cut back to the stage.}
Molly: That was a bit all right, all right? {Emily comes by with a book} Benny, Doug, you were simply fa- {BUMP!}
Emily: Oh, uh, pardon me Molly! The rain stain falls mainly on the plain!
Molly: Is that what you interrupted our sing-along for? Some silly weather report?
Emily: I was practicing the exercise in this book. It's easy on how you pronounceiate good, like an Englishman should!
Molly: The word is e-nounceiate! E, e, E! Don't you know of a king's English?
Emily: No, of a queen's! {laughs}
Molly: Look, Emily, let me finish this next sing-along and I promise I'll help you with your Dickson lessons!
Emily: Honest? Cross your heart and not to die?
Molly: Cross my heart, and not to die.
Emily: Step on it Captain, hidden his eye!
Molly: Step on it Captain, hidden his eye-
{Emily smashes Molly in the face with the book.}
Emily: That does it! I ain't taking no speech lessons from some bloke who mistreats animals! {reading} How now, brown cow?
Brown Cow Actor: Can't complain! How's about you?
Molly: Everybody sing!
The Beatles:
Well how come you say you will when you won't,
Say you do, baby, when you don't?
Let me know honey how you feel,
Tell the truth now, is love real?
But huh uh well honey don't, well honey don't,
honey don't, honey don't, honey don't
A-say you will when you won't, huh uh honey, don't.
Well I love you, baby, and you ought to know
I like the way that you wear your clothes,
Everything about you is so doggone sweet,
You got that sand all over your feet.
But huh uh well honey don't, honey don't,
honey don't, honey don't, honey don't
A-say you will when you won't, huh uh honey, don't.
[Oh, rock on George, one time for me.]
Well honey don't, well honey don't,
A little little honey don't,
A-say you will when you won't, uh huh honey, don't.
Part Two
Narrator: Two days later, an inspector came to Tidmouth Sheds.
Inspector: People who live close to the good yard are complaining. They say that there's a groaning noise which keeps them awake at night. Would you gentlemen have anything to know about it?
James' driver: I don't remember hearing anything. We were there until midnight.
Inspector: That's right! That's when they say it stopped.
Emily: It's probably only James moaning and groaning about his extra shunting if you know what I mean!
James: Oh, shut up you Scottish git! If you had to shunt at night, you'd moan and groan louder than anybody, and I know that from previous experience, Emily!
Narrator: That night, James' driver and fireman listened carefully as they went about their work.
James' driver: It is you James, but not the way Emily thinks. Your brake blocks aren't holding your wheels properly, and when they rub against each other, they make a sort of groaning sound.
Narrator: Sir Topham Hatt acted at once.
Sir Topham Hatt: I cannot have complaints about my railway. We all know that faulty brakes can cause problems, serious ones. Another engine will take the midnight goods until Boco returns. James must have his brakes seen to at once.
Narrator: James was pleased to not have to pull the midnight goods, and a yellow Claud Hamilton from the LNER took the midnight goods until Boco returned. James' nickname of "Old Groaner" stuck for several weeks afterwards. He even began to feel that it might've been better to doing the shunting.
Fun Facts
- The story originally came from the 1986 Thomas annual.
- Molly is unnamed, but isn't appropriately introduced until episode 10.

Giuliana Rancic Talks Indulging in Italy: "I Eat Whatever I Want"
After an emotional year, Giuliana Rancic and husband Bill Rancic are putting their fertility issues behind them and have vowed to have "a year of fun." In the upcoming season of Giuliana and Bill, the couple will be going back to the basics to focus on heating up their relationship.
Celebuzz chatted with Giuliana who candidly discussed their latest trip to Italy (and all that pasta she ate!), explained how she stays thin and gushed about why she's madly in love with her husband.
You just got back from your vacation in Italy. How was it?
It was incredible. It was the best two weeks of my entire life.
Lots of people are talking about the picture you posted online of you eating a big plate of pasta in Italy.
Yeah. I went to Italy, and I consumed way too many calories a day, but I didn't care. Bill and I made a deal on the plane over that we can't say "no" to anything, including food. Like if Bill says, "Let's have a crepe," I can't say no — even though I just had a gelato, and I'm full. We indulged like crazy for two weeks, but we took really long walks in the vineyards, and we stayed active. And when we got back to Los Angeles, we were back at Equinox the next day on the treadmill.
If you could say anything to those weight critics, what would it be?
I eat whatever I want. I never starve myself. I eat five times a day — if not more. I workout every day and bust my butt to stay in shape, which can be six to seven days a week.
Let's talk about the rest of the trip. You and Bill actually visited the church where you got married.
Yeah. We sat down in the church and reflected on that day and how it was so packed with so many friends and family and so much love. We were alone in the church, and it was very special.
Can you believe you and Bill have been married almost four years?
In a way, it feels like four years wasn't that long ago, but then again it feels like we've been together 40 years. It has definitely been the best four years of my life… It keeps getting better. He's truly my best friend, and I love being with him. Even today, we were sad to say goodbye — even though I was only going to be gone a little bit for work. We just love spending every minute of our free time together.
Last season of G&B was emotional. Do you ever regret putting that much of your personal life on air?
Well, you become really vulnerable, and you have to expect that people will come up to you and ask you all sorts of personal questions — even on days when you don't feel like talking. But at the same time, I think about how incredibly rewarding it has all been. Just this morning, I was at Equinox, and this guy came over and said, 'I wanted to say thank you so much… My wife and I have been going through IVF, and it's just horrible. We love your show because it makes us see that we're not alone.' It's sweet that we've been able to help people.
Will you be focusing on babies this season?
Not really. To be honest, probably only 5-10% of this season is devoted to any baby talk. It's always there and in the back of our minds, but it's not like it use to be when it was a daily thing we would talk about… This upcoming season will be about the year of fun. Bill and I go back to the basics and rediscover our love.
Tune into the Season 4 premiere of Giuliana and Bill on Monday, July 18th at 8pm ET/PT on The Style Network.

The service 23andMe provides is not a medical genetic test, and is not covered by insurance. Our goal is to provide you with an overview of your DNA through personalized reports on carrier status*, ancestry, traits and wellness.
You and your physician may find the information we provide helpful when looked at together with your personal and family health history. However, 23andMe's test is not diagnostic and should not be submitted to your health insurance for reimbursement. If you believe you have a medical need for genetic testing, please talk to your healthcare provider about genetic testing for medical purposes. Medical genetic tests may be covered by insurance, depending on your insurance policy, and indication for testing.
*Our tests can be used to determine carrier status in adults from saliva collected using an FDA-cleared collection device (Oragene·DX model OGD-500.001), but cannot determine if you have two copies of the genetic variant. Each test is most relevant for people of certain ethnicities. The tests are not intended to diagnose a disease, or tell you anything about your risk for developing a disease in the future. On their own, carrier status tests are not intended to tell you anything about the health of your fetus, or your newborn child's risk of developing a particular disease later in life.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I was driving on a road, hit a dip too hard, lost control of the car and flipped over. The police arrived shortly after. They gave me the mandatory sobriety test and asked me if I was hurt. I told them I only had some scrapes and bruises and had hit my head, therefore my balance was not too good, I also let them know I had drank 3 to 5 beers. They took me in to the police station and gave me the breathalyzer test where it showed my BAC to be .5. I was bailed out and pleaded not guilty on my court while inside of the County Jail. I am not waiting for my court hearing to arrive. I really want to know what the chances of getting this dismissed or at least the misdemeanor charge dropped down to a class B or C are, thank you.Sorry I stand Corrected I was charged with a Class A Misdemeanor. OFFENSE: DRIVING WHILE INTOXICATED BAC >= 0.15
Did you blow a 0.5 or a 0.05? i doubt you blew a 0.5, because that would likely mean you died of alcohol poisoning. So I'm going to assume you blew a 0.05 for the remainder of my answer. The fact that your BAC is under 0.08 is a favorable fact in your case. However, in order to give you an opinion on the likelihood it will be dismissed, I would have to see the video myself and review the state's file. The video is important because even if you're under a 0.08, the state can still provide intoxication by showing the jury that you lacked the normal use of either your mental or physical faculties. How will they try and do this? The video. Another problem will be extrapolation. For example, if you blew a 0.05 several hours after the accident, the jury may infer that your BAC was higher at an earlier time. There are things a good defense attorney can do to prevent a jury or prosecutor from extrapolating in this manner, which is why you need a good attorney who practices DWI defense regularly, with a good track record of dismissals. But every case is different, and a lawyer's ability to get a dismissal or acquittal depends on the facts of your case, the court in which you land, the prosecutor who holds your file, and your attorney's reputation for being a fighter rather than a "plea" attorney.Ask a similar question
With a .05, you've definitely got a case that should be fought. Consult with a few locally experienced DUI attorneys and hire the one that is the best fit. Good luck.
