A desert that speaks and send messages through its enigmatic figures that until now are not resolved the mystery it hide.
Upon arrival to Nazca town, our staff will show you a video film about The Nazca Lines. This interesting documentary lasts about 40 minutes and involves serious information about the Nazca Culture, as well as the figures you will see from the air. For this aerial tour, you will board a small Cessna single-engine aircraft (Station air, Skyhawk or Skyline type), which has spacious room for 5 people, each person with a window seat. After the video, our English speaking pilot will proceed to give you a briefing about this air tour and also will give each participant a map of the archaeological zone, which shows all the figures you will see from the air. After some basic information about the Lines and safety instructions, you will board the airplane and will take off. In a matter of just 2 minutes you will be flying over the Nazca Lines zone, and the first figure you will see from the air it will be the whale. This beautiful marine deity is located on the eastern part of the archaeological complex, and was drawn over a big rectangular figure (see Nazca Lines map). As soon as we get close to the whale our pilot will let you know and then will fly in circles over it. The next figure you will see is a triangle, which appears over a small hill featuring 3 points. On the other side you will also see the famous trapezoids that, according to Erick von Daniken were ancient runways for visitors from another planet. These trapezoids are about 2 kilometers long and their perfection is stunning. Some kilometers further west
We will find one of the strangest creatures on the Nazca desert "The Astronaut". Unlike the other drawings, the astronaut was etched on the slope of a small hill, and not on the desert surface. His body is facing to the south and according to Maria Reiche it does not represent an astronaut, but a shaman or ancient Nazca priest, someone with magic powers who could predict the weather. Later on we will fly over the monkey figure, an enormous drawing that measures about 90 meters in length, and shows at one hand five fingers and on the other just four, symbolizing the 9 month of drought the Nazca people suffered every year. The monkey figure was discovered in 1954 by Maria Reiche, and according to her point of view it is associated to the big deeper constellation. After the monkey, we will fly over the dog figure, a small drawing that according to some scholars it represents a divinity worshipped by the Nazca people. Then it comes one of the best preserve figures of the whole area "The hummingbird", a gorgeous design perfectly made on a dark plateau located at one corner of the archaeological complex. According to Maria Reiche this figure is associated with the summer solstice, as one of the lines connected to its beak, points towards the place where the sun rises every year during our summer solstice. Not very far from the hummingbird, you will find the spider, a figure that according the local knowledge, represents the fertility and water, as this insect used to appear when it is going to rain or the water in the rivers is about to come. Some meters away we will find the huge condor figure, featuring a straight line that crosses its wings and points towards the place where the sun sets every year on summer solstice. Our next figure will be the flamingo, which is the longest figure on the desert, with over 300 meters. According to Maria Reiche the beak of this bird points towards the place where the sun rises every year on winter solstice. Then we will fly over the parrot figure, a huge bird with about 230 meters in length. In addition to the parrot you will also see several geometric designs around, and the beautiful valley of Ingenio. Finally we will fly over the Pan-American Highway, where you will see 2 figures; the hands and the Huarango tree. If you look carefully, you will find next to the tree, another figure representing a big lizard. Unfortunately when the people built the highway in 1937, they had no idea that ancient figures were drawn there, so the cut the lizard figure in two, destroying mainly the central part of its body, leaving the tail on one side of the road and on the other side part of its back, and its complete head with its two hands. After flying over these figures, we will return to the airport and during the way back you still can enjoy other straight lines that run for kilometers and a stunning panoramic view of the Nazca desert.

We start off our boat excursion of Lake Titicaca by visiting "The Uros Floating Islands", a small community that has lived on these reed Islands for decades. Centuries ago the small indigenous Uros tribe conceived of the islands as a way to isolate and protect themselves from rival tribes, the Collas and the Incas. The Uros people harvested the reeds in the shallows of the lake, bundled them together tightly and built floating island platforms complete with reed houses and canoes, creating in this way their own little world. On the islands we will learn with our local guide about the life style and customs. After strolling around the floating Islands, we continue our journey towards "Taquile Island" (2 hour approx.), a traditional Quechua speaking community, full of ancient agricultural terraces. The Taquile population was relatively isolated from the mainland until 1950s, and the notion of the community and family is still very strong among them. The weaving tradition of the Taquile Island goes back to early civilizations, thus keeps elements from pre-Inca Andean cultures alive in the present. All weaving is done on pre-Inca fixed and pedal looms. The most characteristic garments are the so-called "Chullo", a knitted hat with an earflap, and "The Calendar Waistband", depicting the annual cycles connected to ritual and agricultural activities. When we reach the shores of Taquile Island, we will have to walk up along a narrow path, enjoying on the way impressive views of the Lake Titicaca and also see gorgeous little houses inhabited by the direct decedents of the Inca Culture. At the top of the Island, you will have free time to explore this place on your own and afterwards you will meet the group for lunch at one local restaurant.

Rest of the morning leisure to acclimatize.
Around 13:30 hrs. our guide will pick you up in your hotel and bring you to the meeting point for the classic Cusco city tour & main attractions that involves : - The Cathedral - : Cusco Cathedral is a Baroque-style cathedral built on the foundations of the palace of the Inca Wirachocha in Cusco. Construction began in 1550, using many stones looted from the site of the hillside Sacsayhuaman fortress, and was completed a century later. It is considered one of the most splendid Spanish colonial churches in America. Within the cathedral's high walls are some of the best examples of the Cusqueña School of painting, including a Marcos Zapata painting of the Last Supper with a local specialty, cuy (guinea pig), as main course.
The cathedral's centerpieces are its massive, solid-silver altar, and the enormous 1659 Maria Angola bell, the largest in South America, which hangs in one of the towers. The cedar choir has carved rows of saints, popes, and bishops, all in stunning detail down to their delicately articulated hands. Five chapels flank each side of the nave; one dedicated to Nuestro Señor de los Temblores (Our Lord of the Earthquakes) contains a solid-gold crucifix that, legend has it, minimized damage to the chapel during a 1650 earthquake. There's no-Christian imagery in Cusco Cathedral too: figures of pumas, the Inca representation of the earth, are carved on the enormous main doors Normal access to the cathedral is not via those doors but through the adjoining Iglesias del Triunfo, the city's first Christian church.
- The Koricancha Palace and Convent of Santo Domingo. Koricancha is a classic example of the fusion of Inca and Western cultures, and was one of the most important temples in the Tahuantinsuyu. Its finely polished stone walls were used as the foundations of the Convent of Santo Domingo. The temple walls were said to have been sheathed in gold and silver, it was dedicated to sun worship, as well as containing images of the gods of thunder and Wiracocha, deities brought from various regions and the mummified bodies of Inca rulers. The temple worship was reserved for the highest-ranking figures of the era, and was visited by representatives of communities all over the empire to render homage to the gods of the Tahuantinsuyu. The tour continues visiting 4 archeological complexes located around the city:
- Sacsayhuaman.- Sacsayhuaman is one of the most amazing Incas constructions for tourists. Its Quechua name means "satisfied falcon", it was the falcon that guarded the capital of the empire, since it was possible to overlook Cusco from the hill in where it was erected. If, as it is known, Cusco was designed with the shape of a lying puma, Sacsayhuaman would be its head, and the Coricancha would correspond to the feline's genitalia. It is said that the work was started by Pachacutec and continued by Tupac Yupanqui, even though some chroniclers state that it was Huayna Capac who gave it the final touch. Inca Garcilaso de la Vega says that Apu Huallpa Rimachi was the main architect, and that Inca Maricanhi, Acahuana Inca and Calla Cunchuy successively took control of the works.
Its construction took over seven decades and required the work of 20,000 men approximately, both for the foundations and hewn stone works, the transportation of materials, carving and stones setting. Hewn stones could have been located at Muina, Huacoto and Rumicolca, 20 kilometers away from Cusco, and at closer places such as Sallu,Rumi, Chita, Curovilca and Viracocha. Sacsayhuaman Some of its external walls exceed the 9 meters of height and 350 tons of weight.
Spectacular fortress built with huge carved rocks jointed with absolute accuracy, this astounding sample of the Incan military architecture is, undoubtedly, the greatest architectonic work of the Tahuantinsuyo. But, in addition, it proves the undeniable firmness of the great administrative capacity of the empire and its powerful logistic system capable of mobilizing and organizing such a work.
It is located 2 km away from the city of Cusco, that is, 10 minutes by car. As of the Spanish arrival its aspect has changed a lot, since this fortress was used as a hewn stone to build the colonial Cusco.
- Qenqo.- At 4 and 6 km, 5 minutes to the northeast of Cusco, by asphalted road, we can find the two archaeological sites of Qenqo: Qenqo Grande, which is located near the road that goes from Sacsayhuaman to Pisac; and Quenko Chico, which is located at 350 meters to the west from the latter, on the hillside. Both of them are worship places whose nature has not been deciphered yet, but in which we can highlight the Inca's predilection for stone and their thoroughness with regard to the carving process. These sites are limestone outcrops on which intricate mythical representations had been carved. It is believed that it was destined to the worship of the land. Its Quechua name means zigzag, probably due to the labyrinthine underground galleries, or due to the small channels carved on rocks with that shape.
- Puca-Pucara.- Located at 7 km to the northeast of the city, by the road leading to Pisac (30 minutes by car and 2 hours on foot), we find this inca site which Quechua name means "red fortress" due to the color of the rocks when the twilight reflects on them. (puca = red and pucara = fortress or defended place). It would deal about a military building made up by overlapping terraces, interior squares, aqueducts, watchtowers, high walls and staircases.
However, Its presence along the road may also indicate that it was a wayside inn, though its structure does not belong to the standard outlining that characterizes those buildings along the Inca trails. On this possibility, there is a version that says the Inca accommodated there his numerous delegations each time he decided to visit the Tambomachay baths. The site occupies another typical rocky place standing out in the Sacsayhuaman plain. Towards the western side, it shows a facade on a free area like a small square. On the opposite site, there is a medium size building, which main characteristic is its strategic location since it controls the whole surrounding territory.
- Tambomachay.- Tombo Machay, 7 km northeast of Cusco, is believed to have been built around 1500 AD.This site, sometimes referred to as Inca's Bath or El Baño del Inca, is thought to have been used for religious functions. Some theories suggest Tambo Machay was involved in an Inca water cult. Fountains or waterfalls fed by spring water were used to channel water to a ceremonial stone bath. The fountains are still functional at this well preserved site. Above the baths is an Inca wall. Tambo Machay is located in a sheltered area about 300m off the road to Pisac.Frequency:everyday in the afternoons.

The ICRT India network was founded on 5th July 2017 India's partner of the international ICRT. Our objectives are to
- assist Responsible Travel Practitioners or start-ups, who are focused on doing positive work in the field of Responsible Tourism in India;
- promote the idea of Responsible Tourism
We promote the concept of Responsible Tourism as defined in the Cape Town Declaration.
India has huge potential to develop Responsible Tourism and there are many parts of the country, which can offer some of the most unique experiences and opportunities for travellers to understand local life and to immerse in the rich traditional and cultural heritage. In addition, they are also contributing to the local economy which creates stronger positive relationships between the guests and the hosts.
However, the way to promote such tourism practices is only possible when efforts from public and private sectors are collaborated to create something for the betterment of the local communities. If each effort, works independently without any consultations from each other, there is no collective responsibility created in Tourism. ''Responsible Tourism is only possible when each stakeholder takes the responsibility of its impacts''.
There are many good examples of positive work in the field of Responsible Tourism in India. 'Kerala Responsible Tourism', has been working positively towards the aims of helping the local communities and ensuring the benefits from Tourism reaches the wider community. There are such similar examples of Responsible Tourism initiatives in India, like Village Ways, which has been working in several parts of the country to develop and promote Village Tourism and create positive impacts through positive Responsible Tourism practices. Since there are many such ideal concepts, which exist in India and which can set as a good source of guidance and assistance to new initiatives, the ICRT India network will help link such experiences to those who are genuinely interested in making a difference to spread the movement of Responsible Tourism in India. ICRT will also try and bring together public and private sectors to promote joint efforts towards the growth of Responsible Tourism in India.
The Outlook Responsible Tourism Initiative by India's leading publishing company, the Outlook Group, has also been making an effort, since 2015, to mainstream ethical tourism in India, and build a sense of community among responsible travel businesses in the region. Apart from their annual awards and conference with global experts, they run regional workshops, consumer awareness campaigns on print, digital and TV platforms, and research projects, among others.
The India Responsible Tourism Awards, part of the World Responsible Tourism Awards are run by Outlook India.
ICRT India will work closely with ICRT internationally and will take their guidance on the different programmes and projects, which they undertake from time to time.
The founding members of ICRT India network are Soity Banerjee, K. Rupesh Kumar and Manisha Pande. They will be responsible for all work undertaken by ICRT India.

For 15 years, as a travel and food journalist, Soity Banerjee has contributed to the BBC, Outlook, India Today, Outlook Traveller, Mint Lounge and the Indian editions of National Geographic Traveller and Lonely Planet Guidebooks, among others. More recently, as the Project Editor at Outlook Responsible Tourism Initiative, Soity and her team have been working with public and private stakeholders to effect change by gathering and sharing knowledge, mapping best practices in India (and South Asia); hosting an annual conference with local and international experts; conducting prestigious awards and state-level workshops; running awareness campaigns for consumers through TV, print and digital platforms; investing in research and advocacy to help shape policy in the long run. As a 22-year-old media company with several respected publications, Outlook hopes to catalyse change in the fastest growing sub-region (for tourism) in the world and demonstrate to more business owners that responsible travel companies can be profitable.

(The Birmingham News/Hal Yeager) of the year, he said. "We got an unbelievable deal," Brandrup said. "We're stoked, to say the least." The most well-known of the two buildings includes a red train caboose, a relic from its original life Most Recent as a "Victoria Station" restaurant in the 1970s. The connected building, which dates back to at least 1885, was a Dixie Coffee Co. warehouse. Both had been vacant since 2010. The city closed the Zen nightclub after a man was stabbed to death on the dance floor in 2009. Kinetic will occupy 9,000 square feet in the two buildings, moving from leased offices just a couple of doors down the street.

Purpose-built in 1974 as part of the short-lived, San Francisco-based Victoria Station restaurant chain, the main building and its caboose are a regular backdrop for photographs today. Brides can often be seen posing for wedding photos on the steps of the caboose on weekends. Its redevelopment is significant, and demonstrates that downtown provides a good environment for technology companies, David Fleming, chief executive of Operation New Birmingham, said in a statement. Kinetic, which employs 13 people, will about double the square footage of its workspace when it moves from its leased offices across the street from Morris Avenue's Peanut Depot. The firm has done web development and other creative work for businesses including Alabama Power Co., MTV and Hilton Hotels. It recently won a U.S. Olympic Committee contract for work on a Paralympic project, Brandrup said. Birmingham-based Appleseed Workshop will handle the renovation.

Review by: SteveRhodes
Added: 1 decade ago
In A CIVIL ACTION, Jan Schlichtmann, a personal injury lawyer, more aptly known as an ambulance chaser, has been named one of Boston's 10 most eligible bachelors. With his movie star good looks and his expensive clothing, he blasts down the small road in his sleek, black Porsche on the way to turn down some would-be clients. Their case, involving a cluster of leukemia deaths among 8 children, appears to be a financial loser. (He has already lectured the audience in voice-over about the "calculus" of human worth. Children, having no current incoming producing ability, fall at the bottom of the charts.)
Jan wants to waste as little of his valuable time as possible on this case. After getting his second speeding ticket of the day, he notices a stream near where his car had been pulled over by the officer. Following it, he gets his fancy shoes muddy, but he discovers the mother lode. There are two big companies (Beatrice Foods and W.R. Grace) who have facilities near the stream. As visions of checks with large numbers of zeros flash through his head, a smug smile comes across his face, and he decides then and there to take the case. Without any testing to see if the companies' proximity to the water has any relationship whatsoever to the children's illness, he knows only that the companies have the deep pockets from which he figures he can extract large sums of money for himself and his clients.
(Writer and director Steven Zaillian's adaptation of Jonathan Harr's book can be infuriating if you think too hard about some of the scientific conclusions being drawn. As recent articles in the "Wall Street Journal" and "Forbes" have pointed out, the case is far from the simplistic one described. Clusters will occur in any set of random numbers, and whether these two companies had anything to do with it was never proven. The articles point out that the chemical (TCE) mentioned in the movie is not a human carcinogen, and the town in question has had ground water contamination for 350 years. At any rate, the entertaining movie has significant problems even if you accept the book and screenplay as the full and complete truth.)
The problems start with John Travolta's flat performance as Jan. Travolta never warms up to the role, coming across as emotionally uninvolved. Whereas he threw himself into his recent part in PRIMARY COLORS, playing another character with a flexible set of morals, this time he approaches the role with clinical detachment. Generating neither sympathy nor scorn, he gives a passionless performance than leaves the movie with a hollow core.
Writer and director Zaillian, who was so masterfully in control in SEARCHING FOR BOBBY FISCHER, sets a languid pace in A CIVIL ACTION. Fascinating incidents frequently dissolve into tedium as the energy gets drained away.
Notwithstanding all of these troubles, the supporting cast is terrific, and, as a writer, Zaillian comes up with some great, subtle humor that provides one laugh after another as the lawyers put down each other and themselves. (The script is much less successful in conjuring up the pain and suffering of the children. Absent a few scenes, their misery is discussed with all of the compassion of a medical textbook.)
The movie is worth seeing for Robert Duvall's performance alone, which deserves to be remembered at Oscar time. As Jerome Facher, the cagey old lawyer for Beatrice, Duvall is mesmerizing as he runs circles around the younger and more aggressive lawyers. Acting like a man who always has 5 aces up his sleeve, Jerome disarms his prey by talking about everything but the law. In a particularly delicious scene, he sits listening to Jan hanging himself through the sin of pride. After asking if he could have the nifty hotel pen, Jerome smiles at his adversary and leaves, ignoring entirely Jan's pompous attempt at negotiations. The character of Jerome is so rich that a television series could easily be built around it. When Jerome is on the screen, all of the movie's failings are quickly forgotten.
The other amazing piece of work comes from William H. Macy as James Gordon, the accountant for Jan's small law firm, who tries valiantly but unsuccessfully to reign in the firm's soaring expenses for the case. As Jan bankrupts himself and his partners, James slowly and surely begins to lose it emotionally. Macy's sympathetic portrayal of James will have you laughing so hard that you almost cry as James tries everything from lottery tickets to a plethora of credit cards to come up with the cash necessary to keep the case afloat.
The battle, in which there were few winners, is all too neatly wrapped up in a Hollywood style ending. The legal conclusions are printed in stark white letters just before the ending credits. Don't read them too carefully, however, or you will realize how little was really decided.
A CIVIL ACTION runs 1:58. It is rated PG-13 for mature themes and several uses of the F-word and would be fine for kids around 12 and up.

Our paper on Using Gamification and Metaphor to Design a Mobility Platform for Commuters (McCall, Koenig and Kracheel) has now been published in The International Journal of Mobile Human-Computer Interaction.
Abstract: In this paper the authors explain the use of gamification as a way to optimize mobility patterns within a heavily congested European City. They explore this from two perspectives, first by outlining a gaming concept and secondly by explaining how the use of a mobility game that took place in two locations can be used to explore incentives and design issues.

by David Fairhurst
from Signs of the Times No. 18 - Jul 2005
I live in the land that lies somewhere between religious belief and non-belief; or to be more presice, my mind quite frequently alternates between these two positions.
I have not always lived in this land. As a boy and young man I attended a Presbyterian chapel where I was taught about the Christian faith in general and where I heard the stories of Jesus. As a result of this I became not so much certain in my belief but rather I accepted what I was taught without question.
As the years have gone by more and more questions, more and more searching, have led me to my present position in the border territory between faith and doubt.
This is often an uncomfortable place to be and I sometimes envy my fellow Christians who appear to be convinced in their beliefs and who seemingly have no doubts that they have found the ultimate truth.
However, on the other hand those who are certain that their views are right have throughout history always given much cause for concern and have invariably provoked much conflict. Someone once remarked that the most frightening people on Earth were those with closed minds with God locked on the inside.
And indeed in present times there are still many reasons to be concerned about those who profess absolute certainty. For one thing, certainty kills the search for truth. So for Such people the quest (wherein it has been argued real truth lies) has ended.
Even more worrying it seems to me that certainty of belief is often the first step onto a slippery path that leads to that kind of fundamentalism that is intolerant of those who do not share those beliefs.
At its most extreme, such fundamentalism has resulted in cruel repressions and ultimately to wars and bloodshed. Sadly this pattern continues in today's world which is littered with conflicts and wars caused or legitimated by inter- or intra-religious disputes.
Modern thinking suggests that no absolute certainties are available to us. All truth is provisional. George Soros with his concept of an Open Society in which it is recognised that nobody possesses ultimate truth, persuasively argues that this latter requirement is an essential condition for fostering freedom around the world. The inevitable alternative to an Open society is repression.
In conclusion, it seems to me that if we can follow our faith by holding onto the profound insights its teaching gives and by committing ourselves to the values that these insights imply but at the same time also retain a degree of uncertainty we may actually help to realise some of the deepest intentions of our Christian faith.
For example, if we can accept that Christian teachings and practice are just one path among many, and that the wisdom and teachings of the world's other great faiths also have much to contribute to the future of humanity, we enhance the prospects for genuinely open and effective inter-faith dialogue and thereby improve the chances for peace both within and among the nations.
Thus, paradoxically, by accepting some uncertainty in our faith, we help to realise some of Christianity's deepest intentions, i.e. for a more tolerant, a more peaceful, and a more loving world.

The future is here - VRV IV
VRV IV will set new standards for seasonal efficiency in buildings, indoor comfort for end users and installation simplicity for installers.
Variable Refrigerant Temperature
Revolutionary variable refrigerant temperature control automatically adapts the system to individual building and climate requirements for greater efficiency and comfort. In automatic mode the system will change between maximum efficiency and quick reaction throughout most of the year ensuring comfort at all times, while still resulting in anincreased seasonal efficiency of up to 28%.
Continuous Comfort
Continuous heating during defrost is a unique technology making VRV IV the best alternative to traditional heating systems. All heat pumps accumulate ice during heating operation, which must be melted periodically. The refrigeration cycle is temporarily reversed which can cause a drop within the room. VRV IV features a unique heat-accumulator which provides dedicated energy for the defrost function, while indoor units continue to provide heating and maintain a comfortable indoor climate.
VRV 'Configurator'
The VRV IV 'configurator' is an advanced software solution, which simplifies commissioning and servicing. The software allows the remote configuration of settings that can be used at multiple sites, so less time is required, configuring the outdoor unit. Ongoing maintenance is easier too, thanks to a graphical interface that allows engineers to evaluate operational data and errors.
If you would like further information on the VRV IV please contact us on 0333 0063 770.

What do you want to be when you grow up?
This is one of those questions every little girl and boy is asked from kindergarten all the way to college.
The children's responses are often times imaginative. Johnny wants to be a firefighter, astronaut and doctor. He's been imagining different scenarios since he got his first toy fire truck.
But what about little Suzie? What could she aspire to become?
It seems like ages ago that Suzie wouldn't have as many opportunities. The glass ceiling hung high overhead and cultural norms prevented fighting these obstacles.
Fortunately, things for the most part have changed, especially in a place like Denver where female entrepreneurs thrive in the job market. Forbes released an article about "25 Best Metros for Female Entrepreneurs" with some interesting statistics. The Denver-Aurora-Lakewood area came in third with a high number of women-owned businesses, 3.22, per 100 people, and high female earnings relative to male, at 87%. The opportunity for women to carve their own paths is endless in Colorado.
So how does the entrepreneurial bug bite?
This is a question we answered after meeting with seven inspirational business owners (pg. 24) who each shared their own unique stories and tidbits of advice for aspiring entrepreneurs.
I also got coffee with Danielle Renfrew Behrens, who is an independent film producer and started Superlative Films headquartered in Boulder (pg. 32).
Chef Elise Wiggins of Panzano dined with us one afternoon and told us about her experience as a renowned chef (pg. 18). She also shared her own personal pastiche recipe.
Each woman had her own story to share. And this month it is all about her-story, not his-story that defines these women.
We hope you enjoy.

Dreaming is one of the mysteries in the world. It's hard to study human or animal brain and know how it works. You can only see the reality of someone who is sleeping and maybe you've wished to watch just like watching a movie when someone is dreaming. The video above shows that not only human can have a bad dream but also animals.
The cute fragile kitten in the video is having a nightmare. The kitten keeps on waving his hands and looks like asking for help or playing in his dream. But what's totally touching is the mother cat instinctively pulls the kitten closer to her and embrace her kitten to stop the kitten's nightmare.
Nightmares can be extremely annoying, causing fear that can lead to physical tiredness and mental stress. It's important to understand the cause of your nightmares. It may be too much eating before you go to bed, actually that's one of the main reasons why people are having a nightmare. Still, prevention is better than cure. Eating an hour early before going to bed is an effective prevention. But if someone is having a nightmare, try how the mother cat stop the nightmare of her kitten. Maybe pulling someone near you and letting them feel it's okay because he's just having a bad dream may wake someone up or change the scene in his dream. Sometimes slapping on the face is way more effective to wake someone up. It truly depends on the scenario.

China Unicom denies deal with Apple, purchase of iPhonesAn official with China Unicom confirmed the company is in talks with Apple to be the exclusive carrier of the iPhone in the nation of over one billion, but denied a report that the company purchased 5 million iPhones.
"Talks between us and Apple have been going on for some time, but no agreement has been reached yet," China Unicom spokesman Yi Difei told The Associated Press. "There are all kinds of possibilities. There is no particular timetable for the talks."
Responding specifically to the news that the company had supposedly purchased 10 billion yuan ($1.46 billion), Yi said: "The report is not true."
The news of an alleged deal, which broke Thursday in the China Business News, allegedly came from a sales manager for a Unicom subsidiary. That story claimed that the iPhone would be on sale in China as soon as September.
There are reportedly 650 million mobile phone accounts in China, with China Unicom carrying 133 million of those accounts. Competitor China Mobile, which has the most subscribers in the world, has more than 450 million customers.
Despite the fact that Apple and China Unicom remain negotiations, a new WCDMA model of the iPhone, without Wi-Fi, has already been granted regulatory approval by the Chinese government. The new iPhone is reportedly a GSM/WCDMA model that operates on the 900MHz, 1700MHz and 1900MHz bands. It also includes Bluetooth, but no Wi-Fi, and has been approved for use in China for the next five years.
In the past few weeks, there have been numerous reports that the two companies have entered into a three-year deal, but all of them have been quickly denied.
