Amcor PET Packaging Partners with McCormick Distilling
August 17, 2009 – ANN ARBOR, MI – Amcor PET Packaging, the world's largest PET container manufacturer, has formed an innovative partnership with McCormick Distilling Company to introduce a 15 percent Post Consumer Recycled (PCR) addition to McCormick PET bottles. Scheduled to begin this fall, the rollout will initially include 50 mL, 1L, and 1.75L bottle sizes, with plans to introduce 15 percent PCR to remaining lines in 2010.
The combination of Amcor's state-of-the-art PCR manufacturing capabilities and McCormick's leadership in advancing environmental issues creates the potential for an effective collaboration. At 15 percent PCR, McCormick Distilling will consume over a half million pounds of PCR annually, the equivalent of more than 7.5 million PET bottles collected in curbside and deposit programs and diverted from landfills.
"We couldn't be happier with Amcor," said Jim Zargo, President and COO of McCormick Distilling. "Simply put, they help us sell more in the market. They're a full service vendor on the forefront of customer relations and innovation." One such innovation resulted in the highly successful launch of a 100 percent PCR container for McCormick's 360 Vodka-a liquor industry first.
McCormick's 360 bottle is manufactured at the Amcor PET Packaging plant in Nicholasville Kentucky, which will also produce the new 15 percent PCR lines. Within this advanced facility, which does everything from the preform to blow-molding of the containers, Amcor engineers combine technical expertise, innovative thinking and an unwavering commitment to ensure that color, shape and clarity is an exact match to customer expectations.
"From the plant perspective alone, McCormick is a great client," said Michael Warkentien, General Plant Manager, Nicholasville, KY. "We do a lot of development work with McCormick, and the 15 percent program is very exciting." For McCormick's Jim Zargo, the feeling is mutual.
"We saw what they were doing in the Nicholasville facility," said Zargo. "It's a dynamic, collaborative process. Like us, they're already working in the PCR arena, so it's a true partnership. And Amcor couldn't be a better partner."
Amcor's approach to the PCR business is a bit different than the competition. Instead of providing PCR to customers upon request, Amcor actively encourages its increased use in their products-something the majority of PET providers cannot do. Dave Clark, Amcor PET Packaging's Director of Sustainability, explained, "PCR requires extra attention and expertise because it is more difficult to work with than virgin PET. It really takes a commitment on behalf of the customer and on behalf of Amcor to go out and source this material, and make the investments to make food-grade recycled PCR. McCormick is very progressive in terms of their commitment to the environment – and here at Amcor we push technology, engineering and design through to solutions."
Amcor also requires an equally committed partner. McCormick Distilling is the perfect example. Lynne Brophy, Amcor PET Packaging Wine & Spirits Account Manager and Business Development, commented, "We work together with McCormick to ensure we end up with a solid product offering for their market. They're always willing to go the extra mile. We challenge each other to push the boundaries."
About Amcor PET Packaging: Amcor PET Packaging is the leading manufacturer of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic packaging for the global beverage, food and non-food industries with 60 facilities in 12 countries. Its parent company, Amcor Limited, offers a range of packaging solutions and ranks as one of the top three packaging companies in the world.

This blog comes from our Fundraising Officer Caer
I absolutely love writing. I remember a writer once saying that to engage people's interest, you had to work hard to avoid clichés and well-worn phrases – in her books, people didn't rummage around in their purses, clouds didn't scud across the sky, and certainly no one ever snuck home with their tail between their legs.
I love finding the perfectly balanced phrase that snags in your mind like a splinter and gets to the heart of what I want to say. As a fundraiser, I write everyday. I'm no longer writing about my favourite holiday, or about the mystery of the missing school shoe. However different my current work may be, I still love writing. Ironic then, that after a year in the job, this is my first blog…
Thinking back to my school writing assignments reminds me how amazingly clear life appeared at that age. There's this two dimensional view, seemingly encouraged in school, that you have one clear talent, and that that talent will clearly dictate your future career path. If you like animals, become a vet. If you're good at writing, become a writer.
While young people are currently mulling over their exam results, and stressing about what these results mean for The Rest of Their Lives, it seems a good time to recognise that it doesn't work like that anymore, if it ever did. I don't think anyone has ever lived a life as clear and static as they are relayed to us in school.
Nothing is certain anymore. Nothing is secure. But then, nothing is set in stone. Our paths in life are not clearly defined. When we are young, there are so many different routes we can take. And it doesn't stop there. The idea that we stop learning and developing when we walk out the doors of a 1950s squat cement bungalow filled with classrooms, or of a grand university filled with quads and libraries, is utterly ridiculous. The parameters of our lives are constantly shifting and changing. This is can be stressful, certainly, but it can also be wonderfully exciting.
When I got good marks in writing as a bright-eyed ten year old, I didn't think, ah, that marks me for a life as a fundraising officer in the far-away city of London. But I write every day, and it is such a joy to find that the thrill I got from writing still exists. The pleasure I found in writing about ancient mysteries, ponies and adventures when I was young, I still get it now, as I seek to inspire, and to build in words, the work of this unique and life-changing organisation.

Run the installer, click Custom Install to choose my own directory. HOLD THE FUCKING PHONE BRO - "The install folder specified is in or is a folder reserved for special files." Ok... I click Express Install instead. Same thing. Turn of Vista's UAC and run as Administrator. Same thing. Enable the actual Admin account through prompt and run it again. Same thing. No matter what directory or folder I point the installer to, it won't let me install it - Even as the admin of the computer. At this point I'm all out of fucking ideas. I've checked the Bioware forums - Two small threads about people getting the error, no fix. I created a new post which no one responded to. EA recommended that I double check the requirements for DA:O and redownload the whole installation file (Which I did, 30% left) and it seems I have little chance to get a refund since it was downloaded. I've never had a problem like this before with any game on Vista 64bit and it's seriously starting to piss me off. A few other guys here have it running on Vista 32bit and on Xbox... Anyone have any ideas or am I just fucked out of $65?

Chamarajanagar: Eco-friendly bus may soon be the next in thing at the Bandipur Reseve Forest of Gundlupet taluk of Chamarajanagar district.
As of now diesel buses are being used to take the tourists on safari, which will be done away with as soon as these eco-friendly buses are found fit for usage.
The department is ascertaining the pros and cons of using these buses that have been developed by a company based in Maharashtra. The biggest advantage of these beautiful eco-friendly buses is that it is noiseless and smokeless. The officials are skeptical about the functioning of these buses that have been so far used on smooth terrain only. Hence the vehicle will be first used on trial basis for some time and only when it is tested and adjudged fit for rough terrain, it will be introduced in Bandipur.
The 20-set bus that has been purchased at present bus can cover about 120 kms with four hours of charging. If the bus is found fit for usage in the reserve forest then 16-seater buses will be purchase by Jungle Lodges and Resorts, which is a government undertaking.

In the course of planning for possibly our first trip to Africa, I was introduced to the concept of a RTW ticket, namely the Oneworld Explorer, by Gardyloo (thank you Gardyloo!). I admittedly had very little prior knowledge of how these types of tickets worked and didn't think it would serve my interests, until now...
Thinking about my travels between November 2015 and August 2017, we are looking at:
Africa - April 2016
Japan and Australia - April / May 2017
In addition, we would like to spend a few days in Europe or South America in November 2015 and 2016 and / or August 2016. And depending on any leftover miles, we could easily fill them with domestic U.S. trips or segments on our longer trips (e.g. CPT-MQP/SZK/HDS, VFA/BBK/MUB-JNB, CNS-MEL/SYD).
Given that my travels exceed the one-year time limit, I'm soliciting feedback on whether or not any portion of all of this would make economic sense on a LONE ticket (I'm only considering economy class).
And I've been reading about potential benefits of starting the ticket in Japan or South Africa but are unclear about price differences.
My home airports are IAD/DCA/BWI although I frequently use PHL/JFK/LGA/EWR as well. I have Platinum status on AA, and am able to use AA or UA miles to position from Japan, South Africa, or someplace else.
Suggestions and advice welcome and appreciated. Thank you.

As you know I'm a big fan of the Oneworld Explorer, but it doesn't always make sense as the go-to solution, so first I'd determine if it's the right product for you given your plans.
Because the OWE is priced according to how many continents you touch and not how many miles you fly, the value partly comes from your plans once you've reached some continent or another.
You're allowed a total of 16 flights, but limited to four flights per continent, except North America where you're allowed six (only one of which can be a transcontinental nonstop such as JFK-LAX, MIA-SFO, SEA-PHL, etc.) There are further limitations on long haul flights within Europe/Middle East from London, and transcontinental flights within Australia.
Prices for the tickets are very different depending on where they're bought and started/ended, and for the time being the very strong US dollar has made the tickets surprisingly affordable if bought and begun in countries where the local currency is weak against the USD. So the approach I take (and most leisure buyers of these tickets - a minority I'm told - ) is to start the ticket someplace "cheap" then return to the US (if that's where you live) and go back to work or whatever, then move on to the next destination or series of destinations before ending back where you began.
So getting back to your plans, much of the value of the ticket might come from your plans within N. America, during the periods between longhaul trips. A long weekend in the Caribbean or Central America? Alaska in the summer? The per-continent segments are basically "use 'em or lose 'em" - you can't roll them over to the next continent, and leaving any of the 16 available flights on the table means that the average cost of the remaining flights has gone up.
Let me address the pricing variations. Unfortunately, since most countries and the EU now require that advertising airfares has to include "inclusive" pricing, i.e. with taxes and fees included, it's made prices for RTW and similar products hard to find, because each itinerary is different, thus resulting in different airport taxes, or operator surcharges, or national extortion schemes like the UK's air passenger duty.
So all that's left is to look on the global distribution services (GDSs) like Sabre, where the airlines file their base fares, or a couple of services like KVS or Expert Flyer which skim or scrape or otherwise access these fares.
But to illustrate, let's take an economy (LONE) 4-continent fare, using US dollar conversions that are current as of today or yesterday. This is for the same ticket, but just with a different end/start point. Remember these are the BASE fares; the addition of taxes and fees will typically increase this price by 10-20 percent, sometimes more.
Canada - $4251
Euro countries - $2729
Egypt - $2485
Japan - $2981
Australia - $2992
South Africa - $1751
Now let's look at business class fares, same origin points:
Canada - $8664
Euro countries - $7663
Egypt - $5786
Japan - $6296
Australia - $9210
South Africa - $4877
Now these are snapshot-in-time fares; Oneworld can and does change fares periodically (not all at once, more country-by-country) and of course currency fluctuations have a huge impact. But as you can see, starting the trip - in economy - in the Euro zone saves roughly half compared to the USA, or in South Africa 2/3. A 4-continent business class ticket bought in South Africa is less than an economy ticket bought in South Carolina.
Only you can determine if these products work for you and your plans. My approach has been to develop something like a 2- or 3-year "master plan" and see where paid v. award tickets come into play. Aside from the obvious differences in comfort levels, as an AA Plat you should also look at the benefits of business class in terms of mileage earning. With the class-of-service bonuses earned for business class (and first class within the USA) and your Plat 100% mileage bonus, it's very easy to earn well over 100,000 miles in the course of an ordinary 4-continent business class OWE. For economy (LONEx) itineraries you earn less, sometimes nothing for L-bucket bookings (e.g. on Cathay Pacific) so in doing your financial planning as part of any travel plans, don't discount the value of the miles you'd earn in the course of the trip.
For example, if your plans are to visit Japan and Australia in 2017, maybe the miles you'd earn in a 2015-2016 RTW could be used for that, rather than trying to pretzel it into an RTW ticket. Or, do what I've done over the past decade, do a business class RTW in year 1, then fly off the miles earned in year two, then repeat. Counting the mileage-redemption flights, it's worked out for me that a $5500 DONE4 started in Cape Town resulted in 20 or 22 business or first class flights over the next 24 months, with an average cost of $275 or so. Good for La Guardia to Miami, insanely good for JFK to Hong Kong.
Play around with the online "plan and book" function at Oneworld - https://rtw.oneworld.com/rtw/ - just to get a feel for pricing and routing options. Once you get the hang of it, you can do "what if" scenarios until you're exhausted. Pleasantly so, most likely.

Thanks so much, Gardyloo. Would you happen to have the LONE and DONE prices for 5 and 6 continents? I have not found a website that lists this info, although perhaps I haven't spent enough time on Flyertalk.
Report Abuse
Kind of tedious to pull them; in general in the cheaper countries the LONE fares bump around $400 - $500 per each additional continent, closer to $800+ in the more expensive countries. An LONE6 in the US is $7099 for example; in South Africa $2433.
The DONE fares bump around $800 - $1000 per continent in the cheaper countries, $1200 - $1500+ in the more expensive ones, e.g. in the US a DONE6 is $14,099, in South Africa $6662.
Using the booking tool on Oneworld, you can see the actual fares including taxes and fees right online (just don't put in your credit card until you're ready to shell out kilobucks) quite easily.

On the xONEx ticket do you have to book all your segments in advance or it could be as you go? And do folks know of a way to get around the BA YQ if JNB-IAD is the first segment (everything seems to go through LHR)?
Report Abuse
You have to book all the flights when you buy the ticket, but you can change dates for free later, or change any or all of the itinerary for a flat "re-issue" fee of $125. (Of course any itinerary changes have to comply with the fare rules. If you increase the number of continents, you'll pay the higher fare (based on the country of issue) but if you reduce the number of continents you're SOL.
BA and Qatar have a monopoly on departures from SA to Europe. And unfortunately the Oneworld tool has a bug that doesn't allow you to specify Qatar for the first segment. If you ticket through BA you'll get hammered throughout the ticket with BA YQ; the best bet is to communicate with American Airlines' general sales agent in Cape Town, Mindpearl Ltd., who can can issue the ticket with AA ticket numbers. That won't avoid BA YQ on the JNB-LHR segment, but will help in reducing YQ for the rest of the trip. The easiest way to avoid fuel surcharges on JNB-issued xONEx tickets is to depart JNB on Cathay Pacific to HKG. CX doesn't levy fuel fines at the level that BA and Qantas do for departures to LHR or SYD respectively. On a DONEx this can easily present a savings of over $1000. Frankly, it's wise to price compare JNB departures with CAI departures using Royal Jordanian (same basic itinerary, just different start/end points.) Sometimes the more expensive CAI origin ends up costing the same as the cheaper JNB ones, after fees and taxes are added.
You could also see if Mindpearl could do the first segments as JNB-xDOH-PHL, avoiding BA altogether.
Note that by transiting Europe on the way back from Joburg you will not be able to re-visit Europe anywhere else on the trip. That may be fine with you, but just a consideration.
Report Abuse
Thanks again, Gardyloo. I thought one of the rules of the ticket was that you could transit from Africa through Europe to say, North America, as long as it's a layover and not a stopover, and then visit Europe on the way back to Africa. Is this incorrect?

The rule you're referring to is only on itineraries that don't include South Africa, e.g. if you're originating or ending in Nairobi.

We live in Portugal with nearest airport being Faro. We can use Lisbon but it is sometimes easier to go to London for international flights. We have family in London and do visit 3/4 times a year.
We are also planning RTW on Business Class but cannot work out the best logistical route and so we may have to do straightforward return flights. We are BA FFs and would prefer to use the OW Explorer.
Our plans are:
1. NYC, Kentucky, New Orleans, Philadelphia in April/May 2016
2. Singapore, Phuket, Bangkok in September 2016
3. Australia/Easter Island or India or Moscow/St Petersburg 2017
Gardyloo, can you help with best way of doing this if at all? Is it going to cost us more to return home after each tranch of the itinerary?
Report Abuse
Well the tickets are only good for a year, so the question would arise as to when in 2017 you'd be planning to visit Australia/Easter Island/India/Russia if you'd be planning to link that/those trips with anything in 2016.
Speaking generally, RTW tickets are terrific for making long trips like Australia or Easter Island etc. more affordable, and somewhat less efficient for shorter itineraries, e.g. western Europe to Moscow, or even the USA. And since they require that you cross both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans going in the same direction, i.e. east to west or west to east, connecting the N. America trip in May to the SE Asia trip in September would be complicated unless you wanted to remain in N. America for several months before continuing to Asia westbound across the Pacific.
Pretty often you can find cheaper business class flights from Europe to North America in the spring and summer, so what I'd probably do is to exclude North America from any RTW itinerary and look for conventional tickets for the trip next spring.
Then I'd look at combining the SE Asia, Australia and Easter Island trips into an RTW that would start next year and hopefully last long enough to include your 2017 plans within the lifespan of the ticket.
For example, let's assume that by next September Japan is still a reasonably inexpensive place to start/end business class RTW tickets. You'd fly to Japan to start the ticket, then down to Singapore and Thailand, then home to Portugal. Then the following year, but before 12 months from the first flight have elapsed, travel to South America in order to access Easter Island, then across the South Pacific to Australia, and finally back to Japan to end the ticket. You probably would have earned enough Avios or points to cover the trip home from Japan at the end of things.
Something like this, maybe - http://tinyurl.com/pe9t5vo

Hi Gardyloo
My husband and I are Still looking at RTW ideas and am coming to some decisions on where and when. As you you were so kind to respond to my previous enquiries, I wonder if you could help me clarify and finalise my itinerary. I do realise there will be some tooing and froing but am interested in looking at overall costings to compare with straightforward return fares and also trying to fit in four hols in one ticket. So the plan is:
Travelling Business or First. We are based in Portugal but can easily go back and forward to London. We have quite a few air miles and so can do one ways to return to London/Portugal
Starting from Cairo
1. June 2016 - Venice
2. September 2016 - Singapore, Easter Islands/Fiji, New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia
3. January 2017 - Barbados or Caribbean
4. May 2017 - Kenya/South Africa
Will really appreciate your views and ideas on this.
Report Abuse
Glad to see that you're still working on it.
There is indeed a lot of "to-ing and fro-ing" in particular the Caribbean trip in January 2017. RTW tickets require that you cross both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans in the same direction, so once you've returned to Portugal from, say, Philly in September, you can't use the RTW ticket to return to the other side of the Atlantic.
There are also some specific issues with your destinations when looking at conventional RTW tickets. First, if you want to go to Easter Island, the only alliance airline serving IPC is Lan, which is a Oneworld airline. However, Oneworld doesn't have any member airlines that serve Fiji, so putting both Fiji and Easter Island in the same itinerary is a non-starter.
Second, your list of destinations would likely exceed the maximum mileage allowances in any of the Star Alliance products, which cost much more in general than the Oneworld ones anyway, which means you're left with the Oneworld Explorer as the only usable product.
But if you're wanting to start in Egypt, which is in "Europe" for the purposes of Oneworld RTWs, and then end in Africa, that's not permitted as you'd have to transit Europe on the way there (from North America.) With very limited exceptions - which don't enter into your itinerary - you can't "re-enter" a continent once you've left it. You'd be leaving Europe at the outset if you start in Egypt, so coming back to Europe on your way to Africa would be no go. Hope that's not too confusing.
So my recommendation would be to look at your itinerary with the thought of starting and ending in Africa rather than Europe. That way you could return to Portugal from North America and lay over until you want to head south to Africa.
Here's an imaginary route that would hit some - not all - of your targets. You'd still have to pay for the Caribbean holiday separately (or pick some place in "Europe" that's sunny in January instead - maybe the Red Sea?) and I'd definitely do Venice on my own.
Here's an imaginary itinerary that starts and ends in South Africa - http://tinyurl.com/hdq8d53 . I've included Easter Island and also Israel (but could be Jordan) for the "mid-winter sun and sand" destination. I've also included Mauritius on the way back to Joburg at the end of the trip. This would be a five-continent Oneworld Explorer, with a base fare today of around USD$4500 plus probably another $1000 in taxes and fees.
Like I said, imaginary, but maybe it helps illustrate some routing options and restrictions.

We are now slowly able to use the One world route planner but do find ourselves at a loss sometimes.
Please could you let us know what you think of the itinerary below and if can see any glaring mistakes and what we can add/subtract from it.
This should give us India, Far East, New York and an African Safari after we return to London/Portugal. Unless we can return home from Delhi or Singapore as well.
We are looking at travelling First Class but does it make more sense to go Business?
Report Abuse
Using Oneworld your route would be something like this - JNB-HKG-DEL-KUL-SIN-NRT-HNL-LAX-SFO-JFK-LHR-JNB - http://tinyurl.com/j9fus2e - since you can't fly straight from Africa to India with Oneworld. That's only 11 segments out of a possible 16, so you'd have the potential of adding three segments in North America or four within Europe, or some combination, if you wanted.
With the above route you'd only have first class available on five of the segments (HNL-LAX-SFO-JFK-LHR-JNB) and since business class tickets book into first class on HNL-LAX-SFO anyway (since business isn't offered on those) you'd be spending the extra money on just three flights, which in my view isn't worth it. It's your money of course.

Gardyloo...am looking at a RTW trip and have several questions. You have provided invaluable info in your posts. Very helpful.
My initial itinerary thoughts are these....I live in Memphis and would either buy or use miles for a MEM > JNB RT tix.
Starting in September or October I would fly MEM > JNB and from there start and would go Hong Kong - Narita - Sydney - Auckand - LAX - MEM, where I would arrive home and break up my trip, probably somewhere around late December or January.
Restarting in April, would go MEM - Lima (with transit thru an AA gateway thus adding a segment)- Rio De Jan - Madrid - St Pete - LHR - JNB.
I have put the itinerary in AA's flight scheduler but problem is I can do the 1st traunche thru January but wont let me investigate flight schedules for the back half thus not allowing me to see pricing. Any way around that pitfall ?? Othersie looking at at least May b4 later half itinerary can be priced.

The prices are the same throughout South America regardless of where one buys the ticket.
Prices start at US$4050 plus taxes/fees for economy and US$10229 for business class, roughly $1250 and $570 cheaper respectively than the same tickets bought in the US, Mexico or Central America.
That still makes them roughly $1300/$2600 more expensive than in most of Europe.

Just to continue our correspondence from a while ago, we are getting closer to our planned RTW, however, I am having a few problems and wonder if you could assist to finalise our plans.
So the plan is:
Cairo - Nairobi
Surface to Livingston
Livingston - Johannesburg
Johannesburg - Mauritius
Mauritius - Johannesburg
Johannesburg - Delhi
Delhi - Hong Kong
Hong Kong - New York
New York - Barbados
Barbados - London
London - Cairo
I cannot get a pricing for this as I keep getting referred to Royal Jordanian Customer Services. Is there a glaring mistake in our itinerary?
Is it better to start from Johannesburg?
Also, is it straightforward to purchase the tickets from Cairo?
Lastly, do you always have to finish the journey from the place you started?
Will really appreciate your assistance on this.
Report Abuse
Yes, if it was me I'd definitely start in Joburg. Not only will the "base" price be cheaper than starting in Cairo (around £800 per person) but the fees and taxes will likely be less. In addition, the online booking tool at Oneworld is unable to ticket itineraries where either Royal Jordanian or Qatar Airlines is the first airline flown; it hangs or has some kind of seizure that makes it incredibly frustrating to use.
The rules of the ticket limit you to four segments within the continent of origin, but the biggest problem you'd encounter with starting in Joburg is that you can't re-enter the country of origin until the end of the trip. That would make LVI impossible as it's only served from JNB, and the only flights into and out of Mauritius are from JNB or Gatwick. You wouldn't be able to start in Joburg and fly back from Mauritius; you'd have to fly to London, which would then goof up the onward trip.
So what I'd probably do is fly to Nairobi on your own (use points or look for some sort of bargain) and make your way to Zambia and then Joburg. Start the RTW ticket in Joburg by flying to Hong Kong with Cathay Pacific, then Delhi and back to Hong Kong, then HKG to New York, down to Barbados, over to London (and I presume a long layover there, or down to Portugal.) Then finish by flying from London to Mauritius, then to Joburg to finish. (Note if you start anywhere in Africa you can end anywhere in Africa, so you could end in Mauritius. Or if - at the beginning - you flew to Joburg and did the LVI and MRU flights outside the RTW (using points or cash) you could end up in Nairobi at the end of the trip.
By making JNB-HKG the first flight on the ticket, you'll probably get the tool to work, and because the ticket will be sold by Cathay Pacific (as the first carrier) you'll probably avoid several hundred quid in British Airways surcharges that they would add to the whole ticket if BA was the first carrier (e.g. CAI-xLHR-NBO).
I know this is confusing but I hope it makes sense.

Yes, Oneworld Explorer prices out of South Africa went up significantly two weeks ago. It's not just BA, it's all the Oneworld carriers, although American doesn't appear to have updated the fare yet on its GDS servers. But that's only a matter of time, and you wouldn't be able to ticket through AA anyway.
Two possible workarounds you could examine -
1 - Fares haven't been increased out of Namibia, and you can fly to/from Windhoek on BA/Comair or South African for positioning. Try loading WDH-JNB-LHR-FAO-DEL-HKG-NRT-JFK-DOH-JNB-WDH into the online tool and see what happens.
2 - Egypt is now a cheaper origin point for Oneworld Explorers (in USD, EUR and GBP terms) than South Africa, plus if you didn't need to visit Africa on this trip, you could purchase a 3-continent OWE out of Cairo (although the 4-continent ticket is only US$200 more than the 3-continent one, so excellent value.) The 3-continent alternative would still give you 16 flights, so you'd have more options in Asia and North America should you choose. Or you could still get a 4-continent ticket and add either South America or Australia to the mix.
By originating in Europe (of which Egypt is considered a part) you'd be limited to two stopovers in Europe, so that might require some rearranging of your plans. However, by starting in the Middle East you can end anywhere in the Middle East - Israel, Dubai, Jordan, wherever.

I was afraid of that. The Oneworld online tool is so hopelessly buggy, and Oneworld is so clueless about its defectiveness - that you end up beating your head against the wall.
I quickly googled some travel agents in Windhoek and found a couple with connections to major international travel groups, and which had IATA logos on their websites. Frankly, I'd phone one of them (I use Skype to keep the cost down) and see if they're able to ticket RTWs. You might also try the BA/Comair office in Windhoek, but typically these out-stations are quite small and/or contracted out to some other company, and the agents are clueless when it comes to complicated products they've never encountered.
I have a colleague that went this route in SA (when the prices were lower) and found an agent in Joburg who was quite able to book the RTW for him using her GDS access (Amadeus) and who took his credit card in payment. I wouldn't be surprised at all if this was the case with competent TAs in Namibia.
One trick to apply when you're booking with TAs that are unfamiliar with RTWs is to keep the itinerary as simple as possible, e.g. WDH-JNB-HKG-JFK-LHR-JNB-WDH, then once you're ticketed you can change stops, timing, routes etc. for just $125 and any changes in taxes/fees, using any airline in the alliance. So get it ticketed on BA ex-WDH, and after the first flight, contact BA in, say, South Africa, or the US, wherever, and have the ticket re-issued with all the changes. You'll still have the Namibian base price.
Sorry I can't be of more help on this.

I'm bringing this back up due to a recent major change in the rules for the Oneworld Explorer - a positive change, imagine that!
Oneworld has dropped the requirement that RTW tickets be purchased in the country of origin. You can now purchase them anywhere, with the price being that of the country of origin not the country of sale, even though the price might be much less than the one that applies to the country of sale.
So for example if you want to start the trip in Namibia or Egypt because the price there is a fraction of the US price, you can phone the AA RTW desk in the US, have them book the ticket, get it priced, and take your credit card for payment, without having to communicate with somebody in Windhoek or Cairo.
Now you'll still have to get to Windhoek or Cairo to physically start the trip, but you'll have your ticket in hand when you do, so it could simply be a turn-around - land in Windhoek, walk to the departures area, and get right back on the first flight using the Oneworld Explorer.

Until yesterday (which is when the WDH fares went up) the prices out of Maputo (MPM) Mozambique were crazy cheap - under US$2800 for a four-continent business class fare. Somebody posted a note about it on Flyertalk and so many people jumped on it that the fare was doubled yesterday, so a 4-continent business class fare out of MPM is now US$5200 plus taxes/fees. That's still $1100 less than out of South Africa or Namibia. (The only Oneworld service out of MPM is Qatar Airways to Doha.)
Proves the point about early birds I guess.
Not knowing your plans, I'd look at the pyramids for a cheaper base fare. Wink wink.

Hi, siouxchief, and welcome to Fodor's!
First, airlines don't allow you to book farther out than 11 to 12 months (depending on the airline) so most of your dates will fall outside that range.
Yes, the Oneworld online booking tool is hopeless; despite many requests to Oneworld to repair it, they seem deaf and uninterested, so most people find an airline in the alliance who knows what they're doing (usually American Airlines in the US, Qantas in Australia, BA in the UK, and Cathay Pacific in Hong Kong) who book and issue the ticket, or in a few cases some experienced travel agent who can pull it off.
By comparison, the online booking tool at Star Alliance seems to be much more trustworthy. http://www.staralliance.com/en/round-the-world
As for your trip as planned, there are some complications that would not permit use of a Oneworld Explorer as you currently have it planned, mainly the lack of any eligible airline service between New Zealand and Tahiti, and between Tahiti and North America. So for a Oneworld Explorer to work, you'd have to drop Tahiti from the itinerary (maybe add it as a stand-alone side trip from NZ or Australia).
Your trip would still be priced as a 4-continent trip even though you're overflying Asia; it's one of the kinks in the rule.
Using Oneworld's Global Explorer RTW ticket however, your trip could be undertaken, but with some modifications to the order of places visited. Unlike the Oneworld Explorer the Global Explorer is mileage-based, with mileage tiers at 26,000, 29,000, 34,000 and 39,000 flown miles. And unlike the OWE, the GlobEx allows the use of some additional airlines, one of which is Air Tahiti Nui, provided you use the Qantas codeshare flight numbers many of them carry, e.g. between Auckland and Tahiti, and Tahiti and LAX.
So this route - LHR-DXB-MEL-CNS-SYD-CHC-AKL-PPT-LAX-JAC-YVR-LHR, http://tinyurl.com/jnky22c - would be available using the GlobEx. As you can see, it comes in just under the 29,000 mile tier; if you wanted something like your original routing you'd probably have to go up to the 34,000 mile level, which would cost quite a lot more. Note with the GlobEx, you count the miles between ticketed points against the maximum, even if you're using surface transportation for them.
Starting in London, an economy-class 29,000-mile Global Explorer has the same base price (£2100) as a 4-continent Oneworld Explorer. The 34,000 mile version of the GlobEx is £2550. In business class, the GlobEx only offers the 34,000 mile tier, which is the same price as the business class 4-continent OWE.
So it comes down to a question of Tahiti. With the Oneworld Explorer and its lack of a mileage limit, you could substitute Hawaii for Tahiti, or anywhere in the Caribbean, or, since you're already paying for it, anywhere in Asia for that matter (Bali? Sri Lanka? Maldives?) and still have an eligible trip with far more flexibility.
Either way you'd need to be patient and wait for the flights to become bookable, and you'd probably want to use that time to find a competent travel agent, or somebody who knows what they're doing at one of the airlines you'd use, to do the actual booking when the time comes.

Civic Engagement in Higher Education reveals what it takes to educate college students to be civically engaged citizens, scholars, and leaders. Recent studies have shown that college students' participation in community service is increasing while their involvement in civic and political issues and processes has significantly declined. As a result, higher education experts and critics, government and business leaders, civil society, and the public are calling on colleges and universities to focus sharply on preparing students for democratic empowerment and global citizenship.
If civic engagement is to gain real traction in higher education, it must be clearly defined, and civic learning outcomes must be established. Opportunities to learn about and practice civic engagement must be embedded throughout the curriculum and the cocurriculum. This book shows how all this can be done, and is being done, at higher education institutions around the country.
Civic Engagement in Higher Education contains contributions from noted educators, researchers, and leaders who present a wide array of ideas, case examples, methods, and proven strategies for educating today's students to become tomorrow's responsible citizens. These experts cover topics including:
This book is the essential guide for taking civic engagement in higher education to the next level and securing its future.

Mayor's Book Club; "Between the World and Me" by Ta-Nehisi Coates
The city of Gainesville will be holding its first Mayor's Book Club on September 12, 2016. It will be help at 6:00pm in meeting room A at the headquarters branch of the Alachua County Library District. The book that mayor Lauren Poe has announced "Between the World and Me" by Ta-Nehisi Coates will be the first selection. People from the community are welcome to join and share their views on the book, race, and other concepts that are brought up throughout the novel.
Winner of the National Book Award and highly praised by author Toni Morrison as well as the New York Times, "Between the World and Me" by Ta-Nehisi Coates is a must-read book. Coates is considered by The New York Observer "the single best writer on the subject of race in the United States." Written from the intimate perspective of a father to his adolescent son, Coates explains how "racism has been woven into American culture" and how this focus on race has the heaviest effect on black members of society. Addressing challenging questions about race and the oppression faced when living in modern-day America in a "black body," this is Coate's attempt to address and answer these questions. In merging historical accounts, personal experiences, and a depth of understanding, Coates creates a painfully honest account of how the world works and how to live in it.
Coate's book is truly spectacular, and if you are in need of buying your own copy, Wild Iris has copies available on discount for the book club. If you come in to buy the book and mention to book club you will be given 10% off of "Between the World and Me." Come support your local feminist bookstore and experience the beauty of Coate's book.
Hailed by Toni Morrison as "required reading," a bold and personal literary exploration of America's racial history by "the single best writer on the subject of race in the United States" (The New York Observer)

Doctors Without Borders is an international organization that seeks to provide medical attention to individuals that have been impacted by natural disaster, conflict, or limited accessibility to health care services. They have provided relief in 70 countries worldwide with recent work in Western Africa treating people who have been affected by the Ebola crisis.
The work done by Doctors Without Borders has been shown to reduce the hardships in developing countries during a crisis. However, once the immediate crisis subsides they train individuals in the region to run the medical centers and Doctors Without Borders leaves the operation in the hands of the locals. I think there is little question that the organization has a positive impact on relief efforts, but they may not contribute to long term development. This does not address the larger structural issues that plague developing regions and keep those affected in poverty. This ultimately results in regions reverting back to the same conditions they had before they were faced with a crisis.
Overall, Doctors Without Borders is a stable organization that has a positive impact in the developing world, and although health care is a factor in development the relief nature of their programs prevents them from having a long term effect in those regions. Relief efforts are important in the developing world but at a certain point focus needs to be redirected to finding long lasting solutions to the problems that cause overwhelming poverty. Money donated to Doctors Without Borders is well spent and benefits those with urgent need. That being said, I think the organization would have an even bigger impact if they did more work to address the underlying causes of poverty that make extensive relief necessary.
Review from Guidestar
MSF sets the standard. Their reports to the media are highly regarded. Unparralled.
I have been in developing nations during war it is not a picnic. I just had my EMS I respect the very fact of completing medical education. To then eschew raking in the money doing elective cosmetic surgery and to put your life on the line going into Syria is awesome.
I have gladly donated monthly to the courageous Doctors and staff of this necessary organization for many years now. But as I give to other needy charities as well, I use the 4 Stars of Charity Navigator as my cutoff point for deciding who will receive my donations. I am considering holding back on donating to Doctors Without Borders until they meet the 4 star criteria. But the hard working Doctors and Staff on the front lines don't "manage the business" so I'd like to see the management staff and board hustle to get this Charity up to the high class standards of the many other charitable organizations and support their front line.
Doctors Without Borders 08/15/2012
We are glad to report that Doctors Without Borders 4 Star Rating has been reinstated in 2012 and we hope you will continue to support our work in the field, as we respond to the need for medical care in 70 countries around the globe. Please also see our response to similar comments made by other supporters. If you would like to discuss our work or our ratings on Charity Navigator, please contact our Donor Services department, 212-763-5779 or firstname.lastname@example.com
Review from CharityNavigator
I am a Physician my self but not biased. I am also the president of Sahaita Inc. a 501 c 3 non profit organization. We started up after Tsunami in 2005. At the time of Tsunami we raised lot of funds and the only organization which really cared and went out of their to appreciate our work was Doctor's without Border's. Lot of them didnot even acknowledge they got funds but I will not name any. Doctors without Borders are really a great organization. Since they need long commitments I could never join them so started our own small organization with similar goals called Sahaita Inc. ( You can visit us st www.sahaita.org) This time again The two picks where our funds we collect will go to are doctors without Borders and United Sikh organization which does a lot of work( which sometime do not get credited).United Sikh is also a volunteer run Non profit entity and they did great work at Tsunami,Katerina and in Houston during last Hurricanes and ran Food kitchens. So our 100% support for Doctor without Borders and United Sikh organization, Thanks you all for working to help Humanity.
Doctors Without Borders 08/15/2012
Thank you for your generosity and endorsement of our work. Doctors Without Borders will continue to expand our work where possible to underserved populations around the world and appreciate support from contributors who provide us with the means to meet the needs of so many.

Most business owners who are new to the world of marketing via email are not familiar with the appropriate etiquette they should use. You should always handle your marketing via email campaign in a professional manner, you will have happy customers and ones that will want to talk to you. Read on to learn some strategies for marketing with email.
To make sure your emails don't turn people off, always seek permission before sending them out. Include a subscription button on your site, and encourage regular customers to have their friends sign up as well. If you'd like to give people some extra encouragement to subscribe, you could feature subscriber only deals.
Insert a link to your subscription form into your marketing newsletters. That way, if your customers forward marketing emails to their friends, their friends can easily subscribe to your list too. Using this strategy makes it easy for you to build a large list of potential customers who have agreed to receive your marketing emails.
If you want your marketing via email messages to be successful, make sure you have permission to send them. If you do not have permission from your recipients, the potential consequences can range from being added to spam filters all the way up to getting blacklisted by Internet service providers themselves.
If you want your marketing with email messages to get to the right inboxes, target anyone whom you send to. If you already have a core set of fans or followers, offer discounts or promotions to those who get friends to show up. Anyone curious in your products and services probable has known others with similar interests, which mean you, can organically grow your list through existing social relationships.
To get the most of your email promoting, invest in a program that personalizes your emails with every customer's given name instead of a generic greeting. Ensuring that every email starts with the recipient's name is key to encouraging your customers to see your newsletters as valuable information and not just more sales spam.
Stay consistent. Use your logo and a standard color scheme in each email you send. Use a clear and legible font style. Once you have sent a few emails, your recipients will be able to immediately recognize them, and will start to take notice. You should always have a goal of becoming familiar to your customers, especially when you are using an marketing with email campaign.
In order to banish all concerns about spam and ensure that no one on your subscriber list is there by mistake, consider employing a double opt-in strategy. Your first message should require some sort of additional action, like replying or clicking on a link, to make certain that the reader wants to receive further emails.
Include a link at the bottom of any marketing emails that allows people to unsubscribe easily. If someone does not want to receive your messages, providing a simple way for them to unsubscribe is preferable to ending up in their spam folder. It will also help to protect your reputation as a business that respects its customers.
E-mail marketing marches on, and the good old newsletter has become largely obsolete. Instead of sending around a general circular for all of your subscribers, expend the effort to tailor emails to the interests of their particular recipients. There are many robust programs and services that can help you do this automatically.
To make your emails look as professional as possible, invest a little thought in their design. Use a consistent layout, color scheme, and logo with all of your messages. This gives your subscribers the impression that they are hearing from a trustworthy, authoritative source. They will pay more attention and give your content more credence this way.
Preheader material can be quite beneficial, as it helps you to instantly grab your reader's attention. A preheader displays the initial line of the email body, with the text highlighted. Many email clients show this text underneath the subject of the email, allowing the reader to get an idea of what the content is.
Reputation is the name of the game when it comes to e-mail marketing. Do not be cheap when it comes to email quality, be careful to target the right customers for your business, and stay away from any tactics that could be considered misleading. The character of your business is at stake, so you must always make sure you keep this in mind.
Do not worry about anti-spam filtering when you compose your marketing emails. You need not avoid any particular phrases or use exotic spelling and punctuation in words like "free." As long as you are not sending out unsolicited emails, you have already cleared the spam filter hurdle. Write for people instead of machines.
You might need to try following up to your customers with an alert on a price increase. The email could include a link that says to act now in order to avoid this increase. The ending of the message could convince them to click on the link in order to understand all the details.
Write good content in your emails. Do not copy something, whether from another site or your own, directly into your email. Emails are not like web pages; they must be short and concise to hold your reader's attention. That said, the content must be well-written, grammatically correct, and free of spelling errors.

The third email would deliver those expectations in the form of the discounts and other incentives.
