January, 2012
Nutrition Sciences doctoral student Michelle Cardel received the UAB President's Award for Diversity to a graduate student for her commitment and contributions to diversity on campus. UAB President Carol Garrison recognized outstanding leadership in five categories: faculty and staff plus professional, graduate and undergraduate students.
Combating childhood obesity is Cardel's passion. "Children are still learning dietary habits," said Cardel. "I felt there was more of an opportunity to make a positive and permanent change that they could use throughout their life."
As part of her training, Cardel started to work with the AMERICO study, evaluating the etiology of racial/ethnic differences in obesity and insulin outcomes in a multiethnic sample of children.
"Michelle's charming personality, fully bilingual capacities, commitment to research and public service, and her previous experience working in type 2 diabetes in Hispanic individuals of Cuban-American descent made her a valuable contributor to the AMERICO study," said Jose Fernandez, Ph.D., associate professor in the department who nominated her.
Cardel joined the Jones Valley Urban Farm and volunteered to create different nutrition-related curriculums for inner city Birmingham children aged five to twelve years old. For eight weeks, the children were exposed to fruits and vegetables, received nutrition education and healthy cooking demonstrations that were related to the nutrition lesson taught.
"Many parents reported later that their children had begun asking for healthy foods when they were at the grocery store," said Fernandez. "This project was not part of her degree. It was part of Michelle's commitment to serve minority communities without any compensation in her purpose to bringing equality to all."
Cardel is focusing her dissertation research on evaluating the genetic, environmental, and behavioral predictors of weight gain in children and weight regain following weight loss in adolescents.
"Her scientific work in the Department of Nutrition Sciences reflects her hope to create intervention programs that not only enable children to lose weight, but that address the barriers that cause them to regain the weight," said Fernandez. Cardel has published four papers in scientific journals, two of them as the first author, has three additional scientific papers under review, and has served in multiple local and national committees for scientific enterprises.
In her spare time, Cardel has been a Hospice volunteer for the last eight years, providing respite care for caregivers of terminally ill patients. She often describes that she feels "honored to be able to be with her patients and their families during one of the most intimate times in human life." She looks forward to her weekly visits, often bringing her puppy, Lola Bear, to visit with her patients. Michelle is also involved with volunteering and raising money for the UAB Comprehensive Cancer Center.

We're not beaten yet!
By Lady Liberty
This is a story, at least in part, of three women. They're separated by years and individual circumstances, but they're tied together by something I don't doubt they'd all prefer they didn't have in common.
Some time ago when we were all much younger, my boyfriend and I often got together with a small group of friends to listen to music, play cards, and have a few drinks. Among that group of friends was a pair of newlyweds who I'll call Bob and Kate (all of the names I'm going to use are fictitious; you'll see why in just a minute). Bob was in college like most of the rest of us were while Kate had only just graduated high school. A sweet, quiet, petite little blonde, she obviously adored her husband.
One night, our usual group was hanging out at Bob and Kate's apartment. Kate was quiet that night, even for her. At one point, while the men were checking out a new stereo system, I took her aside and asked her if she was okay. She promptly burst into tears and went on to tell me that her wonderful husband had been angry with her the other day and had hit her several times with his closed fists. I was horrified. I told Kate that she needed to get out of that apartment and then out of that marriage. She looked at me with her big blue eyes in shock. "But I love him!" she said.
In between then and now, I lived in a big city where my closest friend happened to be a woman I worked with. Late one night, I got a panicked telephone call from Cindy. Through her sobs, I eventually got the story. It seems she'd discovered that her husband, Gary, was having an affair. When she confronted him with what she knew, he was far from ashamed. In fact, he picked her up and threw her against a wall. After the police took Gary away in handcuffs, emergency room doctors found that Cindy had three cracked ribs in addition to various and sundry bruises.
I jumped out of bed, got dressed, and drove to Cindy's house where I spent the night. I helped her collect up Gary's clothes and went with her to deliver them to him where he was staying with "the other woman." I held her while she cried, and despite not liking children, cared for her young daughter for a few days until she was ready to move forward on her own with plans for a new place to live and then a divorce.
The last time I heard from Cindy, she told me that she'd talked with a minister who told her that Jesus didn't want her to get a divorce, and that she and Gary should have another child to heal their marriage. She told me that Gary was going to church, that she knew that Jesus would change him, and that she was prepared to do what Jesus wanted and would try to get pregnant as soon as possible. She also told me that, while she appreciated my help, she wasn't going to talk with me ever again because I wasn't of her faith and was thus of Satan. Before she hung up, she confessed that the minister told her that, too.
More recently, a friend of mine got into an argument with her boyfriend. As the fight escalated, he began breaking things in her home and then moved on to physically attack her. Fortunately, she got him to leave the house before she was seriously injured. I encouraged her to file a police report and to spend the night at my house. She declined to do either.
When I gently asked her if she wasn't just a little afraid he might come back again and pick up where he left off, she told me that she didn't care what he did to her, that she didn't want to live without him. (In fairness to her, those initial comments came from shock and some serious emotional hurt. She's since bucked up well and informed him that she won't be seeing him again unless he agrees to get professional help, a decision I unequivocally support.)
It's relatively easy for someone outside of such circumstances to look dispassionately on the circumstances and suggest what might be the best course of action. It's often considerably less obvious when you're caught up in the situation yourself.
There are those Americans who look at some of the things our country is doing and know that they're essentially wrong. But much like Kate, they're horrified at actually doing anything about it. Instead, they make all sorts of excuses and, even when the excuses run out, will end the debate with an impassioned, "But it's my country, and I love it!"
There are those who would suggest that the War on Terror means that abuses of civil liberties are acceptable. The First Amendment is under active attack from authorities who are infiltrating and surveilling activist groups who happen to represent an opinion contrary to government policy (in one case, the police are accused of taking on actual leadership roles and "directing" protests). Meanwhile, the Fourth Amendment effectively no longer exists as federal officials fight to continue and even broaden electronic surveillance with little or no oversight, and defend provisions of the PATRIOT Act that allow secret searches with no more than a written request.
Thanks to the War on Terror, our traditional rights to travel have been severely abridged up to and including our inclusion on lists of people considered to be a threat. Such lists, of course, might be fine if they weren't both the product of exaggeration and error. Numerous innocent people, including those from allied countries, have either suffered delays or been denied boarding as a result (the one moment of levity in all of this was the day that Senator Ted Kennedy discovered his name was on the list). The problems are only exacerbated when we learn just how difficult (if not outright impossible, unless you're Ted Kennedy) it is to correct any of those mistakes!
The War on Terror has obliterated Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights for those deemed "enemy combatants." At long last, even the Supreme Court determined that the Bush administration had gone too far in its actions when it unilaterally established a tribunal to try those brought to trial. But hundreds of men still languish in cells on Guantanamo with no trial — or even any charges — in sight, and virtually no communication with the outside world. Even the most base of criminals is entitled to hear the charges and the evidence against him (even if, in cases involving national security, the rest of us can't)!
I love this country, too. In fact, I love it enough that I believe abusive behaviors sully what it has been, and what it can be again. Kate should have kicked Bob to the curb. When she didn't, she effectively told him that his behavior was acceptable. The next time he hit her — and there's almost always a next time — he'd have even less restraint because he'd have even less fear for any repercussions. The same thing is true with government abuses. The longer we endure them, the more acceptable they'll become.
There's little question that we have some problems in this country. Some of those problems, we're told, could be solved if only we put religion back into the public squares, our schools, and our government. People from politicians to public officials, and from preachers to some in the general population, say they think the country should "go back" to the principles on which it was founded. What they mean when they say that is that we should be — and behave as — a Christian nation.
It's true that the original colonists of the New World were Christian (albeit of a particularly serious sort). They arrived on our shores because they wanted religious freedom after having been mistreated in Britain as a result of their faith. Unfortunately, the Puritans immediately proceeded to do everything for themselves that they'd so hated in England (in fact, some of the first executions in Massachusetts involved those who happened to adhere to the "wrong" form of Christianity). Recognizing the obvious problems with that attitude, the Founding Fathers deliberately avoided establishing any kind of official religion; George Washington himself wrote (in the Treaty of Tripoli in 1797) that the "United States is in no way founded on the Christian religion."
Those who want the Ten Commandments to be posted everywhere because our system of justice is based on the Ten Commandments are apparently unfamiliar with either. I wrote at some length about this topic a couple of years ago; suffice it to say here that only a couple of the Ten Commandments have any correlation at all in statute law. Those who want creationism taught in schools are, in reality, undermining science education in this country and pushing us still further behind in all-important efforts involving technology development.
Religion is a deeply felt and deeply personal thing. It simply cannot be a mandate. The people who believe that Jesus will solve all of the country's problems are forgetting that there are those who don't feel about Jesus as they do and who, in fact, feel pretty much that way about somebody completely different. Far from offering any kind of a solution, such a position would result in horrific anger and open rifts between those of various faiths. After all, even Christians don't agree on everything since many particulars happen to be based on one sect or another (look no further than birth control, gay marriage, and abortion for examples).
The only place that Jesus is the answer is in the hearts of those who truly think so. If Cindy's husband, Gary, really let his faith in Jesus change him, good for him — and for her, too. But a minister telling her she mustn't divorce a man who seriously hurt her because Jesus doesn't want her to is another story. The one thing I personally believe with a good deal of certainty is that people who truly have faith in Jesus themselves wouldn't try to force Jesus — either by law or through coercion — on anybody else.
One of the things I told my friend after the violent altercation with her boyfriend was that she can't make him change. He has to want to. And before he can want to, he's got to recognize that he actually has a problem that needs changing. Until that happens, he's likely to deal with his anger in the future just like he's dealt with it in the past. Even a good therapist isn't going to put a dent in a head that houses a mind that's absolutely sure it's not the one with the problem!
It's thus imperative that we make sure our politicians know that there are problems and, just as importantly, we have to be sure they know that we know. This sounds obvious, but it's apparently not: Despite knowing there are Congressmen who accept bribes or use drugs, who have the poor judgment to have affairs or speak entirely out of turn, who regularly vote for things that directly contradict their oath to the Constitution, and worse, voters keep re-electing them. Every time we cast a vote for a man or a woman who really has no business representing the vast majority of us who are pretty decent human beings, we tell them that we expect less from them than we do from ourselves. We tell them it's okay that they abuse our trust right along with our rights.
Is it really any wonder that most politicians aren't acting to fix some of the problems so many of us say we perceive? By voting for them after they've done little or nothing to fix the problems before — or, in fact, after they've actually contributed to the cause and the extent of the problems! — we're saying that we don't care, or even that there isn't a problem after all. Is it any wonder, then, that politicians go blithely on their way after the balloting is complete?
I believe that this time, my friend will stand firm. I believe that she's not about to let this man into her house until he sees there's a problem and takes steps to get it corrected. In the same way, I believe that we must all stand firm. If there are problems, they must be acknowledged before there can be any thought of fixing them. And frankly, one of our biggest problems are the politicians themselves. Don't you think it's time we drew our own line in the sand and told them we've had enough of their abusive behavior? I sure do!
I've never been in a relationship with anybody who's hit me. That doesn't mean that I don't know it's wrong. Most of you, like me, have probably not been the object of abuse by the authorities (at least not yet). But that doesn't mean we can't recognize that kind of thing when we see it. The question is what each of us will do about it. Will we be like Kate and make excuses until we're finally beaten senseless — or worse? Will we be like Cindy and grasp at hope but take no other action? Or will we stop weeping and worrying, stand up despite our pain, and say: Enough! Fix it — or get out!

A quick way to locate records of interest to you is by checking for tags. All records here will have at least one identifying tag indicating a name or a place. Some will also have more descriptive tags to let you know what kind of record has been posted (ex: marriage register, tax list). Just click on a tag and you will be presented with all the posts containing that type of content.
Surname tags: I am not going to create separate tags for every variant surname spelling found in records. The abstract, extract, or transcription will reflect the actual spelling of the name in the source record; however, the tag will be standardized. For example, the Wykle tag will be attached to records containing Wikle/Wigal/Weikle, etc.
County tags: There are two things to be aware of about my use of county tags.
- To keep locality markings short, I will not be appending VA or WV to the county names. Historically, the counties primarily of interest in my research were in either state at different periods. It will be clear from the subject heading of the post what state applies. The small number of records that occur in other states will be tagged with that state's name only (ex: Ohio).
- The county tag for a record will indicate the county boundary at the time the record was created. For example, an 1827 record will be tagged Logan County even though the location the record references may be in Fayette County today.
- In the tag cloud, county names will not be capitalized. This will allow them to be quickly differentiated from surname tags.
About transcriptions: All words in transcribed documents are copied from the original source as precisely as possible. Spelling, grammar, etc. are NOT corrected. Some transcriptions maintain the original line breaks, while others do not. The blog format makes some lengthy documents (especially wills and deeds) visually unattractive in the blog column so I allow the text to wrap.
Source Citations: I use a simplified version of standard formats such as those found in Evidence Explained. If more detailed information is needed for you to locate any document for yourself, please feel free to ask for more information.

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Boston College's recent dominance over the University of New Hampshire hockey team continued Friday night at Conte Forum.
The Eagles defeated the Wildcats for the sixth straight time with a 5-2 win. They're also 9-1-2 against UNH in the last 12 meetings.
The long-awaited match-up between the top two teams in Hockey East and two of the top four in the country proved to be a mismatch on the scoreboard.
The Wildcats scored first, but the Eagles responded with five unanswered goals on just 17 shots to lead 5-1 at the end of two periods.
"Just disappointed with the way we came out, especially in the first period," said UNH coach Dick Umile. "We didn't cover people. They executed their plays when they had odd-man rushes. We just didn't do a very good job of funneling, back-checking or picking people up."
No. 2/3 BC improved to 13-3-2 overall and 10-2-1 in Hockey East while UNH fell to 13-4-2 and 8-3-1.
The teams meet again tonight (7) at the Whittemore Center where UNH hasn't beaten BC in almost four years.
The Wildcats are 2-3 in their last five games and with Boston University's victory over Merrimack dropped into third place in the league standings, four points behind BC.
The Eagles' best players were their best players Friday night. Sophomore Johnny Gaudreau returned from the world junior tournament in Russia where he helped Team USA win the gold medal and led all scorers with seven goals.
In his first game back, Gaudreau sparked BC with a goal and two assists through two periods Friday night. Back-up goalie Jeff Wyer replaced starter Casey DeSmith for UNH at the start of the third period.
The Wildcats lost senior forward Greg Burke in the second period with a possible head injury. Umile said he's doubtful for tonight's game.
"It's very disappointing," said junior forward Kevin Goumas, who scored UNH's second goal early in the third period. "You're going out and battling for Hockey East right now. We got the first (goal), but after that we kind of laid back and played defensively. That turned the game right around. It's hard to battle back from 5-1."
UNH trailed 2-1 after one period. The Wildcats scored first but the Eagles answered with a pair of goals 4:13 apart to take the lead.
Jay Camper put the Wildcats up 1-0 when he converted a pass from Matt Willows, who stole the puck behind the cage and fed his linemate at the near post at the 8:54 mark.
That line, which also includes freshman Dan Correale, has figured in five goals in the last three games.
BC's Bill Arnold set up Kevin Hayes to tie it at 13:29 and Pat Mullane, taking a pass from Gaudreau, made it 2-1 with 2:18 remaining in the first period.
Hayes and Mullane were both left alone in front and they capitalized. UNH outshot the Eagles in the first period, 11-9.
"We stood around and watched them execute three-on-twos without picking people up in the defensive zone," Umile said. "We gave them great scoring opportunities and they finished them."
The Wildcats started fast, recording seven of the first eight shots on goal, including Camper's tally that gave UNH an early lead.
But BC recovered and moved in front on a couple of nice passing plays.
Gaudreau made it 3-1 early in the second period on breakaway. After taking pass from Destry Straight, he beat DeSmith with a backhander 5:01 into the second.
The three BC goals came on only 10 shots.
"Obviously they're a real good hockey team," Umile said. "You can't give them odd-man rushes. When you do that's what they do, they bury them. It was a couple of great plays they made. It would have been nice if we picked people up and made them work for it."
The Eagles went up 4-1 with 4:17 to go in the second period, giving them four goals on 14 shots to that point in the game. Mullane redirected a centering pass from Gaudreau, who was along the far boards, for his second goal of the game.
Arnold made it 5-1 with 14.7 seconds remaining in the second.
Goumas gave UNH a glimmer of hope when he scored his ninth goal of the season on the rebound of a Brett Pesce shot 37 seconds into the third period to pull the Wildcats within three.
UNH has a chance to redeem itself tonight at home.
"Any time you have a home-and-home series with a team," Goumas said, "it's good to get them back at you place if things like tonight don't go well."
"This game's over," Umile said. "We didn't play our best game tonight, especially defensively. We better wake up (Saturday night) or we'll find ourselves out of it."
First Period: Scoring: NH-Camper (Willows) 8:54; BC-Hayes (Arnold, Straight) 13:29; BC-Mullane (Gaudreau, Whitney) 17:42. Penalties: NH-Hardowa (tripping) 3:39; BC-Wey (holding) 9:16.
Second Period: Scoring: BC-Gaudreau (Straight, Wey) 5:01; BC-Mullane (Gaudreau, Whitney) 15:43; BC-Arnold (Hayes) 19:45. Penalties: BC-Matheson (interference) 6:01.
Third Period: Scoring: NH-Goumas (Pesce, Henrion) :37. Penalties: None.
Goalies: NH-DeSmith (12 saves on 17 shots), Wyer (8 saves, 8 shots); BC-Milner (31 saves, 33 shots).

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.
Group Size Notes

Meals Included
26 breakfasts, 5 lunches, 2 dinners

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 solo 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 solo travellers on these itineraries must pay the single trip price.
Hotels/guesthouses (26 nts), overnight bus (1 nt), G Adventures-supported lodge/basic hotels on Uyuni Salt Flats excursion (2 nts, multi-share).
My Own Room Exceptions
Nights 16-17: Salar de Uyuni, Night 23: Overnight bus.
About Accommodation
Please note that hot water shortages and power outages can be fairly common in Latin America (even in upgraded hotels and private homes). We appreciate your patience and understanding that these occurrences are outside of our control.
Joining Hotel
For details of your joining hotel please refer to your tour voucher, G Account, the G Adventures App or contact your travel agent.
Joining Instructions
Jorge Chavez International Airport in Callao Lima, is approximately a 45-minute drive from the Miraflores district, where our joining hotel is located. The easiest way to get there is via taxi. Immediately after the customs and immigration area, as you head to the exits, you will find an official taxi stand. You can pay for the car at set rates (approximately $27 USD) and won't need to worry about sorting out a ride outside the airport facilities, where the situation tends to get more chaotic. There are exchange facilities in the Arrivals area open 24 hours.
If you have paid in advance for an arrival transfer, a G Adventures representative will be at the airport to meet you. If for any reason you are not met at the airport, please call our local support line. If you are unable to make contact for whatever reason, please make your way to the joining point hotel via taxi.
Please note that Day 1 is an arrival day and no activities have been planned for that day other then your welcome meeting in the evening, so you can arrive at any time. Similarly the last day is a departure day during which no activities have been planned.
A G Adventures Representative 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. A welcome note will be left for you in the hotel so you have all the necessary information regarding the meeting time. If you arrive late, s/he will leave you a message detailing what time and where you should meet the next morning.
Please make sure to keep the stamped immigrations receipt you receive when you arrive into Chile. This receipt is required when leaving Chile.
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, please refer to the emergency contact details provided in this dossier and contact us as soon as possible. If you have a pre-booked transfer, and you 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. If your arrival transfer does not arrive within 30 minutes after you have exited the arrivals area please take a taxi to your start point hotel.

What to Take
Most people automatically assume that the weather is hot in South America, however this is not always the case, and you may need warm clothes depending on the time of year you travel.
We recommend using a backpack for your convenience, or a medium-sized suitcase if you prefer. A daypack is also essential for carrying everyday items. Space is limited on transportation, so there is a limit of one main piece of luggage per person. You will be responsible for carrying your own luggage.

Visas and Entry Requirements
All countries require a valid passport (with a minimum 6 months validity). Contact your local embassy, or consulate for the most up-to-date visa requirements, or see your travel agent.
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, there are no guarantees that your credit or debit cards will actually work in Latin America. Check with your bank.
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. Please bear in mind that cost of living in the southern cone countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile) is much higher than the rest of South America, and more comparable with Europe. Always take more rather than less, as you don't want to spoil the trip by constantly feeling short of funds.
We do not recommend bringing travellers cheques as they are very difficult to change in country.
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.
As currency exchange rates can fluctuate often we ask that you refer to the following website for approximate daily exchange rates: www.xe.com
Emergency Fund
Please also make sure you have access to at least an additional USD $200 (or equivalent) as an 'emergency' fund, to be used when circumstances outside our control (ex. a natural disaster) require a change to our planned route. This is a rare occurrence!
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. Recommendations for tipping drivers and local guides would range from $5-10 USD per day depending on the quality and length of the service; ask your CEO for specific recommendations based on the circumstances and culture.
Also at the end of each trip if you felt your G Adventures CEO did an outstanding job, tipping is appreciated. The amount is entirely a personal preference, however as a guideline $20-25 USD per person, per week can be used.

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 jewelery 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 group leader has the authority to amend or cancel any part of the trip itinerary if it deemed necessary, due to safety concerns. Your Chief Experience Officer (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 and 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 judgement 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.
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. Read more about travel safety for ways to further enhance your personal safety while traveling.
Trip Specific Safety
Please note: You should be especially careful when wandering about Buenos Aires on your own, particularly at night. Tourists are easy prey for individual pickpockets or groups of two or more people working as a team on the streets. Pay particular attention to anyone who 'accidentally' spills anything on your clothes or belongings (mustard, etc.) and then apologizes and offers to help clean up. They will clean you out instead! Be safe and leave your passport, credit cards, travellers cheques and cash funds you won't be using immediately in the hotel's safety deposit box. Most locals are honest and genuinely helpful and friendly, but be safe and enjoy the city!
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 group leader has 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 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 leader, who will take note of your insurance details. When selecting a travel insurance policy we require that at a minimum you are covered for medical expenses including emergency evacuation and repatriation. A minimum coverage of USD200,000 is required. G Adventures can provide you with the appropriate coverage. We strongly recommend that the policy also covers personal liability, cancellation, curtailment and loss of luggage and personal effects. Some tours include adventure activities that require extra coverage (e.g. crampon use); please review your itinerary and make sure that you are covered for all included activities. 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.

Go back to the wild nest with awareness and be sure to find pats and look around corners and stones remember to don't catch them too close to the nest because they might be leaving or going for it to copulate. If you choose to caught them at the nest remember to mix males and queen alates from different nests of the same species (not recommended, this way they may copulate but not for sure and you wont be successful). If you did the map you can trace the path between same species colonies and be on those tracks because thats where you gonna find the most Queens.
Good Luck and Keep us informed about the places you find ants.

Revision as of 18:38, 4 January 2009
{{#customtitle:CCTV Information introduced by Robyn Sones|CCTV Information}}
The CCTV Advisory Service is a Web based information company dedicated to disseminating general information concerning Closed-circuit television (CCTV) and linking customers to quality organisations who can meet their specific requirements.
Realising that the average person, when they begin to look into CCTV, has little way of knowing where to find expert advice at reasonable cost, we have set up this web site to bring together some of the top people and organisations working in this field.
The companies and individuals found on this web site are those who do not just talk about excellence, but both believe in it, and make sure that it runs through every fibre of their organisations and dealings with customers. Companies appearing on our pages do not pay for space but appear by invitation only. They are companies we have chosen for the quality of their products, level of customer service and because they offer value for money.
Free Advice and Design
We are now able to offer free services including site surveys, drawing up plans, budget costings and system design to those who are seriously considering having a CCTV system installed by a professional installation company. These services are offered in conjunction with a small group of carefully selected CCTV installation companies.
Although these services are only available in Great Britain, in some instances we may be able to put overseas enquirers in contact with experienced CCTV installers in their own country.
Why Is a CCTV Web Site Necessary?
The importance of having a professionally designed specification can be seen from the fact that when the police seek to use CCTV evidence in court it is found to be inadmissible in at least 70% of cases. While it is true that almost anyone can look at a location and suggest a number of Cameras, only those who have experience in this field, through an understanding of the principles of optical science, will generally be able to recommend a Camera that will give the customer a picture with the best definition or coverage. Often it is also possible to give clients "added value" by locating Cameras, and utilising lenses which are able, not only to view the area of concern, but also give peripheral vision of other points of interest.
A very simple example of the above is that one company may provide a view of everyone entering through a door while another may also incorporate an overview of the room the person is entering without any increase in cost or equipment. In many cases, careful questioning reveals that a picture of people leaving rather than entering the area may, in fact, provide much more valuable evidence in the event of a crime.
See also: Do You Need a Specialist CCTV Company?
Contacting Us
It is always best to contact us via E-mail through our reply page. This enables us to make sure that the person or company with the most suitable expertise is put in touch with you.
Cameras Work
As statistics point to major reductions in the amount of crime being committed where there are cameras installed you will begin to appreciate why CCTV is seen by many as the best system for deterrent and detection.
We are sure that you would wish to avoid having to catch those who are perpetrating crime against your organisation. Generally, once a Camera system is installed, it will only be fools who attempt to perpetrate offences within its field of view. These are often caught but for the majority it will provide a very high level of deterrence.

Safety warning labels on sodas and other sugary beverages sold in California came one step closer to reality today, when the powerful Senate Health Committee approved SB 1000 on a 5-2 vote. The first-in-the-nation legislation was introduced by State Senator Bill Monning (D-Carmel) and co-authored by Senate President pro Tem Darrell Steinberg to ensure that all Californians are aware of the critical scientific information linking sugary drink consumption to exploding rates of diabetes and obesity."Consumers have a right to know about the adverse health effects of frequent sugary drink consumption," stated Senator Monning. "SB 1000 does exactly what the beverage industry has long said we should do – educate the public – and this is the appropriate public health response to the scientifically proven risks that liquid sugar poses to the public's health. The bill is a common sense measure that is overwhelmingly supported by the public."SB 1000 would place a simple warning on the front of all beverage containers with added sweeteners that have 75 or more calories per 12 ounces. The label, developed by a national panel of nutrition and public health experts, would read: STATE OF CALIFORNIA SAFETY WARNING: Drinking beverages with added sugar(s) contributes to obesity, diabetes, and tooth decay.Armed with overwhelming research linking soda and sugary drink consumption to skyrocketing rates of diabetes, obesity and tooth decay, the nation's first measure requiring safety warning labels on sugary drinks now moves forward to votes in the Senate Committee on Appropriations, before being referred for a full Senate floor vote. According to a recent field poll, 74 percent of California voters, including a majority of Republicans and Independents, support warning labels on sugary drinks. "Science has conclusively shown that the jolt of liquid sugar delivered by a soda and other sugary drinks plays a unique and leading role in driving both diabetes and obesity epidemics. The average American is drinking nearly 45 gallons of these products a year, with little understanding of just how much damage they do to their health," explains Dr. Harold Goldstein of the California Center for Public Health Advocacy. "It's irresponsible to sell such risky products without properly warning consumers of the threats they face."Research shows that a soda or two a day increases the risk of diabetes by 26 percent.Sugary drinks are also the single largest contributor of added calories in the American diet, responsible for 43 percent of the additional calories consumed over the last 30 years. Drinking just one soda a day increases an adult's likelihood of being overweight by 27 percent and a child's by 55 percent."I see more and more patients losing limbs or going blind every year, and many of them drink a soda a day, unaware of just how hazardous the habit is to their health," said Dr. Ashby Wolfe of the California Medical Association. "Diabetes rates have skyrocketed by over 600 percent over the past generation, and liquid sugar is uniquely responsible for this epidemic. Warning labels are a vital step toward preventing a lot of trouble down the road."These health implications are felt most acutely by California's communities of color, which are the largest consumers of sugary drinks."Unless these twin epidemics are reversed, one in three children born after 2000 – and nearly half of Latino and African-American children – will develop type 2 diabetes in their lifetime," said Darcel Lee, president and CEO of the California Black Health Network. "For that reason, the California Black Health Network has proudly joined with our state's doctors to support this key legislation."The Latino Coalition for a Healthy California (LCHC) echoed that sentiment. "We're seeing unprecedented rates of type 2 diabetes and obesity in the Latino community," says LCHC Executive Director Xavier Morales. "All lives matter and the health of our community requires immediate action. A warning label on the sugary beverages that are unique contributors to these health epidemics is a great first step."SB 1000 is co-authored by Senate President pro Tempore Darrell Steinberg; Senators DeSaulnier, Leno and Mitchell; and Assemblymembers Ammiano and Williams. The legislation is co-sponsored by the California Black Health Network, California Center for Public Health Advocacy, California Medical Association, and the Latino Coalition for a Healthy California.Complete information on SB 1000, including fact sheets on the science linking sugary beverages to diabetes, obesity and cavities, is available at www.sodawarninglabel.org.

Kim Kardashian and model Gabriel Aubry are on the outs -- and she's moving on.
Sources close to the pair told gossip sites Tuesday the couple decided to put the brakes on their two-week romance.
"They still talk," one source told People. "They were getting to know each other, but realized they might be better off just being friendly."
U.S. & World
The pair was photographed last month taking in a Lakers game. Kardashian also invited Halle Berry's ex to spend Turkey Day with the fam.
Sources told E! News and Us that her romance with Aubry – who has a 2-year-old daughter with Berry -- had been moving "too fast."
Kardashian, who broke up with footballer Miles Austin a few months ago, has talked about embracing her single self.
"I really do want to stay single," she recently told Ryan Seacrest. It's hard when you meet such amazing, gorgeous people. I never really stick to it."
Possible case in point: New Jersey Nets baller Kris Humphries, who she was caught kissing and holding hands with over the weekend, according to People.
"They've been taking it slow but they have so much fun together," a source told the mag.

LOS ANGELES — As one of two new kids on the Pac-12 block, first-year Colorado coach Jon Embree addressed the program's biggest problem with a touch of humor. At the Pac-12 Media Day, a journalist asked how he has to improve a team that hasn't won in 18 road games.
"We haven't?" Embree said kiddingly. "How do we change it? That's been a sticking point with me. One, I don't run away from it. I've addressed it with the team. I believe there's no one on our team who has played in a road win. I'm taking it head on. It all starts on how you prepare. It all starts with a mindset. Good teams win on the road and honestly we haven't been a good team or I wouldn't be here.
"So if we want to do things that players want to do — be in bowl games and championships and all that — we have to win on the road. The thing I'm excited about is our first game on the road so we can address that issue immediately."
