Strong silhouettes, an arresting colour palette and a plethora of checks and stripes are at the core of Caramel's boy offering this season. Graphic check trousers with rolled up hems exude a rakish air, so too do rolled up sleeves on utility style shirts in grey stripe or a cornflower blue. Read more
Mustard raincoats and the softest of sky blue cashmere sweaters and street style hoodies add a jolt to olive Granddad style shirts and stripe t-shirting. For wardrobe staples that you wished came in grown up sizing, look no further.
An abundance of home grown craftsmanship, bold print and a sophisticated, idiosyncratic use of layered colours and textures make up the essence of Caramel's boyswear offering. Find the latest styles in our burgeoning range of easy to wear, relaxed fit wardrobe staples.
Driven by intuition, creativity and passion, Caramel strives each season to design modern classics, creating an original aesthetic unique to the brand. Asides from its own stores, Caramel is a brand which is also sold through more than 100 independent retailers and in 10 stores worldwide.It was created by Eva Karayiannis, a former lawyer in 1999, a designer with a strong vision and immense passion. The label was originally conceived to challenge traditional, limited perceptions of childrenswear.
Says Eva Karayiannis, " It seemed to me children either had to wear mass-produced clothes, or expensive glitzy items which were often impractical or anachronistic or both—none of which is what childhood is really about. From the outset, I wanted to find a modern, distinctive style, which could be individual—yet at the same time luxurious and understated. That, it seems to me, is the essence of caramel. Why shouldn't children's clothes be beautiful and tough-wearing at the same time? Why shouldn't they be luxurious, but also with a refined simplicity?"
Recent openings include a store in Ukraine and Kuwait. After many years of interest and requests from customers and press, Caramel recently launched a critically acclaimed womenswear collection and a homewares collection. Read less

Rheumatic heart disease is a condition that causes permanent damage to the heart valves. It follows rheumatic fever. Rheumatic fever is the body's response to a strep infection of the throat or tonsils or "strep throat." Rheumatic fever may also follow scarlet fever. This is a strep infection of the throat along with a red, rough-feeling skin rash. Rheumatic fever may affect the joints, skin, tissue under the skin, brain, and heart. If it affects the heart, it is called rheumatic heart disease.
Your child may have signs and symptoms that affect the heart, including:
Your child may also have other signs and symptoms of rheumatic fever. These include:
The symptoms of rheumatic heart disease can be like other health conditions. Make sure your child sees his or her healthcare provider for a diagnosis.
The healthcare provider will ask about your child's symptoms and health history, including having rheumatic fever or strep infections. He or she will give your child a physical exam. Your child may also have tests, such as:
Treatment will depend on your child's symptoms, age, and general health. It will also depend on how severe the condition is. Your child's healthcare provider will likely refer you to a pediatric cardiologist. This is a doctor with special training to treat heart problems in children. Your child may also see other specialists, depending on his or her symptoms.
Children with rheumatic heart disease will need to rest until their symptoms get better.
Your child's healthcare provider may prescribe one or more of these medicines:
Your child may also need other medicines. Some children need surgery to fix or replace damaged heart valves.
Complications of rheumatic heart disease include:
You can help prevent rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease by knowing what strep throat looks like and getting treatment for it. Your child's healthcare provider can do a throat culture or rapid antigen detection test (RADT) to see if your child has strep throat.
Children with damaged heart valves from rheumatic heart disease need to keep their teeth and gums clean. They should also have regular dental exams with preventive antibiotics. These steps can help prevent infections of the damaged heart valves.
Your child will need to have regular exams to check on his or her heart. He or she may also have repeat diagnostic tests of the heart.
If your child has had rheumatic fever, the healthcare provider may prescribe periodic antibiotics to take for several years or up to a certain age. The antibiotics keep rheumatic fever from coming back. They also lower the risk for heart damage. It is important that your child continue to take antibiotics as prescribed.
Call your child's healthcare provider if your child has any of the following:
Before you agree to the test or the procedure for your child make sure you know:

Thirteen tips to Navigate the Holidays Joyfully and Safely
We hope that the FAC's children and families experience the true magic and joy of the holiday season from Halloween through New Year's. At the same time, we are aware that the holidays can create certain challenges and stressors for those with food allergies. Our FAC experts Nancy S. Rotter, PhD, and Elisabeth Stieb, RN, are well versed in these issues. Dr. Rotter is a pediatric psychologist who treats children with medical conditions, and specializes in understanding the challenges of preparing allergic children for transitions at different developmental stages. Ms. Stieb manages education and school issues, among other leadership roles in the practice. She also cares for our patients during oral food challenges. Ms. Stieb has a connection with patients because her own children have allergies. Together with some of our parents, they offer these tips to help you navigate the season happily and safely.
1. Your children will follow your example. Focus on the fun that is possible rather than anything the allergies cause you to forego.
2. Focus on the family and friends with whom you are most comfortable (if you can). One mother says: "Our children, now 3 and 4, are allergic to multiple foods (milk, egg, wheat, etc.). That makes breakfast challenging. Yet for several years we have hosted a holiday 'sausage fest' breakfast for several families. In an effort to keep things safe, we ended up with 14 kinds of sausage the first year. The breakfast is full of protein, tastes good, and most importantly, is a vivid reminder of the support of these special friends as we grow more comfortable around forbidden foods."
3. If you can host, you will have the most control over the environment and the food. But don't feel you have to stay home. If you are a guest, notify the host/hostess well in advance to discuss the menu. Be honest, but not alarmist. We know it can be challenging, but how you communicate is very important. Use your intuition and listening skills too. If you do not believe that the host/hostess is able to cook an allergy-friendly meal or it feels like an imposition, bring your own food. This is also certainly true if you expect a potluck or a buffet.
4. If your allergic children are young, and it is possible, share the responsibility of watching your child with another adult. This way you are free to socialize. Then trade off so your counterpart can have fun too.
5. Have realistic expectations and a backup plan. Anticipate that surprises will occur (Uncle Henry's fiancée brings the most delicious-looking candy-laden chocolate cake ever). Talk with your family ahead of time and anticipate that. Despite their best laid plans, there may be disappointments and frustrations, particularly about holiday treats. Generate a backup plan. It might include sneaking off to play video games that are typically restricted, an early departure or other subtle exit.
6. Do allow your children to 'trick or treat' if supervised in an age appropriate manner. Buy safe candy or prepare safe treats and allow your child to swap the unsafe treats he or she receives. Or allow your child at Halloween or any other time to accrue points toward a special activity, fun toy or something else the child values. It may serve as a helpful distraction to have your child keep a tally as they go (e.g. during Halloween, rather than focusing on the number of treats he/she can't eat, focus on the number of points or bonus treats they do get). Some of our parents auction off various toys to the highest candy bidder.
7. Be prepared to trade in unsafe treats throughout the holiday season. Make fun and unusual safe treats, like rock candy. It is allergen free and a mini science experiment.
8. Plan for the unexpected, such as unscheduled school celebrations. Make sure your child's teacher has a stockpile of safe treats. For example, Oreos are a less perishable cookie that is safe for dairy- and egg -allergic children. Since the holidays involve a variation from the daily routine, be attentive to all the new and unexpected foods and celebrations.
9. Create new holiday traditions. These could be anything from sports (holiday bowling with a holiday-themed dress code), to a silly scavenger hunt (funny hats required), filming an annual video, a backwards board game party (everyone goes from finish to start) or a craft activity (build a birdhouse instead of a gingerbread house). The emphasis should be on the activity, which can be done at a non-meal time. Host a paper garland, clay menorah or other decoration- making party instead of a cookie- baking party if your family's allergies make the latter hard.
10. Read labels on all products. Be aware that holiday foods often have allergenic ingredients added. Some ingredients can be hidden, like almond flour in a cake. Ingredient statements during holidays are different from non-holiday periods. A previously safe product may have different ingredients.
11. Holidays often bring opportunities to travel over the river and through the airports. Carry your Epi pen, medicines, Food Allergy Action Plan, airline letter and safe foods to eat in transit.
12. In fact, as you should be doing at all times during the year, keep your EpiPen, antihistamines or other medicines with you and/or your allergic child at all times.
13. And, now, knowing you are prepared, relax and enjoy!

Markey asks FDA to investigate hair straightening products
WASHINGTON -- Can vanity cause cancer?
Representative Edward Markey and some of his congressional colleagues are imploring the US Food and Drug Administration to investigate hair straightening treatments, such as the popular Brazilian Blowout, that contain formaldehyde, a carcinogen.
Markey, a Democratic member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee; Representative Jan Schakowsky, an Illinois Democrat; and Representative Earl Blumenauer, an Oregon Democrat, sent a letter to FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg on Tuesday urging the administration to protect salon workers and consumers from adverse health concerns resulting from hair-straightening products and their toxic fumes.
Customers and workers across the country have complained of nose bleeds, breathing problems, vomiting, and hair loss associated with the use of products such as Brazilian Blowout Acai Professional Smoothing Solution, the letter said.
Markey and his colleagues first contacted the FDA in May 2011, requesting the agency to initiate a voluntary recall of the products and institute better labeling practices and warnings. They also asked the agency to conduct a review of whether formaldehyde should be banned given associated health risks.
The FDA warned the makers of Brazilian Blowout that the agency considered the Brazilian Blowout Acai Professional Smoothing Solution to be misbranded because the product label falsely promoted the solution to be formaldehyde-free. Despite the August 2011 warning, the company has not reformulated its product to reduce or eliminate the levels of formaldehyde, the letter said.
Instead, the company sent letters to salons reaffirming the safety of its product and launched a new product, Zero+ Solution, which it claims does not release formaldehyde. To date, the FDA has not publicly taken any additional enforcement action against the company or substantiated its statement regarding its original Brazilian Blowout solution or its new product.
In January, the California attorney general's office reached a class-action settlement with the company, requiring it to stop deceptive advertising practices and to slap caution labels on the Brazilian Blowout treatment warning of the release of formaldehyde gas.
"The FDA should not blow-off investigating the serious health impacts associated with Brazilian Blowout and other hair straighteners that contain toxic levels of formaldehyde," Markey said in a written statement. "The FDA should immediately take action to stop the sale of these potentially carcinogenic hair straightening products and continue to evaluate whether to ban formaldehyde from hair straighteners altogether."
The $50 billion cosmetic industry sells the least regulated consumer products on the market, lawmakers said. Consequently, companies are allowed to use virtually any ingredient in cosmetics and personal care products, even if the chemicals are known to damage health or the environment.
Markey and Schakowsky introduced the Safe Cosmetics Act of 2011 to protect American consumers from being exposed to dangerous and cancer-causing ingredients. The bill calls for the removal of ingredients in cosmetics that are carcinogens or cause birth defects, gives the FDA authority to recall dangerous cosmetic products, and requires disclosure of all ingredients on a label so that customers know what they are purchasing.

Discover Kaikoura
A tiny town in an awesome setting, Kaikoura has plenty of activities to do with a stunning scenic backdrop.
Whale Watch and Dolphin Encounter
Whale Watch is the ultimate Kaikoura attraction. Join the tour, board the modern catamarans and explore the Kaikoura coastline in search of Sperm Whales. Another great ocean attraction is Dolphin Encounter. The Dolphin Encounter experience gives you one of two options, watch from the boat or get in the water and swim with them. Both tours offer a uniquely Kaikoura activity, whilst being surrounded by stunning scenery.
Free Kaikoura attractions
There are many free attractions in Kaikoura, suitable for all ages.
Seal Colony and Peninsula Walkway
Just a short 5 minute drive from the town centre is the seal colony. It is free to visit and there are often seals lying right next to the car park. From there is a great walk around the Kaikoura Peninsula. Also free, it's a great way to see the mountain views and stunning limestone cliffs. The whole walk is around 1.5hrs return (2.8km one way), and there are a few look-outs and rest stops where you can turn back if you want to make the walk shorter.
Ohau Waterfall Track
Only 25km North of Kaikoura is the Ohau Waterfall track. There is ample parking on the side of State Highway 1, which leads to the short 5 minute walk to the waterfall. Often seal pups will swim up the stream to the waterfall, which is a great photo opportunity.
Walks and tramps up Mt Fyffe
Looming over Kaikoura is Mt Fyffe, where there are many walks for any level of tramper. For beginners the Hinau Walk is a scenic 45min loop, through the native bush. For the more adventurous, there are tracks up to 3 days, travelling along the ridge to the summit, and down behind Mt Fyffe.
Restaurants, cafes and bars
Kaikoura has a range of restaurants to choose from, offering meals for all budgets. Whether you want a cheap and cheerful bite to eat or the whole fine dining experience, Kaikoura has a number of places that cater to everyone's tastes.
Discover this beautiful area today, and book your Kaikoura accommodation with Bella Vista Motel Kaikoura.

This is the audio clip of an interview I did for The Breakdown this weekend with journalist and author Michael Hudson, who did a terrific piece on GE Capital's mortgage crisis called Fraud and Folly: The Untold Story of General Electric's Subprime Debacle:
Hudson's a thorough and sober-minded journalist, so it's striking to find a paragraph like this in his reporting:
"What GE got in the bargain, former WMC employees say, was a place where erstwhile shoe salesmen, ex-strippers and even a former porn actress could sign on as sales reps and make big money pushing home loans. WMC's top salespeople earned a million dollars a year or more and lived fast, swigging $1,000 bottles of Cristal and wheeling around in $100,000 Ferraris and Bentleys."
Makes you wonder who did the due diligence for GE: Larry Flynt? Things don't get better once GE takes over.
The activity described in this interview and in Hudson's article includes retaliations against internal auditors who attempted to do their jobs, a culture of punishing whistelblowers,and reports of fraud which are now reportedly being investigated by the FBI. There are seven important facts to bear in mind as you listen:
- They took place in a corporation headed by Jeffrey Immelt, who also leads President Obama's Jobs Council – that is, we're discussing events that occurred after the acquisition and which involved GE executives and employees;
- Immelt's GE paid $50 million to settle charges that it made "materially false and misleading" statements four times, which is fraud;
- Immelt's GE settled charges of defrauding investors over Jack Welch's retirement package in 2004;
- Robert Khuzami, who now co-chairs that fraud task force with Eric Schneiderman, allowed GE to settle fraud charges after saying GE "broke accounting rules to the breaking point," which is another way of saying it broke those rules, which is another way of saying "fraud";
- investigators felt strongly they had identified specific individuals in the accounting department who had committed fraud, and were reportedly astounded when the Justice Department failed to prosecute;
- GE stands accused of participating in the Iraqi oil-for-food bribery scandal;
- and that officials in Washinton bent the rules so that GE, which is not a bank, could receive at least $75 billion in aid from the US taxpayer.
See "GE Capital: In the Dark" for more information.
My commentary on the interview is here:
Michael Hudson is a staff writer for The Center for Public Integrity and author of The Monster: How a Gang of Predatory Lenders and Wall Street Bankers Fleeced America—and Spawned a Global Crisis.

Here it is Space Aces, my latest game: Match 3 Invaders. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to combine the pulse-pounding, sweaty-palms excitement of the classic Space Invaders arcade game with the relaxing strategy games known as "Match 3?" Now you have the chance to find out! Can you concentrate on lining up color matches while simultaneously dodging enemy fire? Can you endure the excruciating time limit as the aliens descend lower and lower upon your position? Most importantly of all: Can you rack up enough points to enter you name on the hallowed High Score Table?
It's Match 3 Invaders by Matt Barton. Now get in there and start matchin' and poppin' like you mean it!
Special thanks to: Triphamer, clok1966, Salty Pretzels, Eigen, Peter Horvath, Nathaniel Tolbert, and everyone else who beta tested and offered advice.

I know the game is not complicated but I was sorta stumped when i was playing it. I was swaping colkors and expecting to to work like most color match games where 2 blues and i turn the 3rd blue they just blow up.. so the second shot was strange.. but then it dawned on me.. a "good" player could snake some shots in and effectivly do um all in one shot.. Once again, simple idea using older games in a NEW interesting way. And more importantly FUN way. WHrn i first played it i was (honesty can be harsh) kinda bored. Keep in mind im not a bejewled or Luxor or ????? player so my interet was low. And my first look it seems way to easy.
again a way to quick look leaves the wrong impression.. just a few levels in the game changes into a challange and a few more, a real challange.. The one flaw with using stuff people instanlty recognise is us fools who automaticly "know" its the same old thing (when its not).
You have achived a simple playstyle that ramps nicely, has a twist, and is fun.. I hope other dont do as I sorta did.. see SPACE INVADERS and dismiss it.. it much more. I know it sounds all suck up, but I really do think you have a great talent for mixing games... maing two ideas i would never mix work , and work well.. if you keep this up ... you may just hit on that next "big thing" ... i mean angry birds was done a MILLION times before.. but for some reason it 'wokred" best this last time.. and you are NOT COPYING.. but creating new games..

$.99 match 3 Invaders... sounds like plan to me.. I have seen some games i would be embaressed to sell (or buy) on the phones..
i think i will grab this too! thanks for the heads up
Thanks a lot, guys. I went ahead and picked them up, too. I have no idea how to get something like this on iPhone or Android, though. How would the controls work? How do you get it in the apps store or whatever Android has? I'm pretty much clueless.
Edit: Did some quick research about the iOS version. You need to be working on a Mac first off. Not a big deal since I have one from SCSU. I'm guessing it's a bit more complicated than just dragging the project folder onto it and compiling it with the Mac version of Unity, but perhaps it really is that simple.
Also will need a developer's membership from Apple, and that's $99 per year. Guess that's not too bad, but I have no clue what kind of money I could expect to make. Can I really expect 99 people to buy it even at 99 cents? I'd probably be lucky if a dozen people bought it. I have an iPhone 4 but no iPad.
Android development looks pretty confusing. As far as I can tell, you pay $25 to register on the android marketplace. Unfortunately, what I read claims that the profits you make are only 25% of Apple's. Hardly seems worth bothering with! Interestingly, there seems to be lots of alternatives to the marketplace. My wife has an Android phone, so I might be able to talk her into letting me test it out.
Anybody got experience with any of this? Like to hear how you did it and whether you think this game could be a fit on the app store or marketplace.
You only have to pay Apple/Google to put the app on the store. If you just want to try it out on your own phone all the tools to do that are free.
You can load Android apps from a webpage (here even) if you want.. As for if its worht it..? no idea at all.. Dream big, or why dream at all :)
as for market share(app wise).. android had less then 2% market share 2-3 years ago, now its 25%... the android app market is expected to match apples in a few years (and thats with dismal tablet sales, android sells way more phones total then apple does worldwide). Apples closed door polcies has hindered its adoption rate everywhre but the US.
At least having the licenses, you can start to play around with supporting android and iOS and learning how to put an app on one of those devices. It's not immediately important that you sell something. Later, when you feel you got a app that you feel you can sell and make a profit off of, then go ahead and spend the cash to get it on one of the appstores.
It's all about learning....for now.
I am the greatest specimen of humanity. I am far in advance of your feeble skills. You are all mere simpletons before my presence.
Of course, you all knew that already. But in case you didn't know it, I decided to demonstrate my superiority by annihilating the previous high score on "Match 3 Invaders" with my own unconquerable high score of: 5684!
Of course, such a score would be impossible to attain, much less beat, by anyone else. Only I, your overlord, possesses the mighty skills needed to perform such superhuman feats. I pity the poor fool who even tries to beat me, although it would amuse me greatly to see you fail.
You have my permission to bow before me now.
I'm beginning to feel like I've been dethroned. :)
Time to pull out the big guns....now where did I put them?
Holy cow, you guys are good! How'd you rack up those crazy scores?

Thanks For Your Support!
It has been a long, bumpy, and fun ride.
We took some time off, and wanted to come back with something better. Unfortunately, the circumstances aren't helping right now, and due to our other commitments, we've decided to make the hard decision of shutting down Tathkarti permanently.
Wish to thank every single one of you for your lovely support throughout the years.
Final whistle is gone, and it's time to wrap things up.

Charles Stewart Rolls (27 August 1877 - 12 July 1910) was a motoring and aviation pioneer. Together with Frederick Henry Royce he co-founded the Rolls-Royce car manufacturing firm. He was the first Briton to be killed in a flying accident, when the tail of his Wright Flyer broke off during a flying display near Bournemouth, England. He was aged 32.
Rolls was born in Berkeley Square, London, third son of the 1st Baron Llangattock. Despite his London birth, he retained a strong family connection with his ancestral home of The Hendre, near Monmouth, Wales. After attending Mortimer Vicarage Preparatory School in Berkshire, he was educated at Eton College where his developing interest in engines earned him the nickname dirty Rolls.
In 1894 he attended a private crammer in Cambridge which helped him gain entry to Trinity College, Cambridge where he studied Mechanical and Applied Science. In 1896, at the age of 18, he travelled to Paris to buy his first car, a Peugeot Phaeton, and joined the Automobile Club of France. His Peugeot is believed to have been the first car based in Cambridge, and one of the first three cars owned in Wales. An early motoring enthusiast, he joined the Self-Propelled Traffic Association which campaigned against the restrictions imposed on motor vehicles by the Locomotive Act, and became a founder member of the Automobile Club of Great Britain with which it merged 1897.

Despite the 'off-road' nature of this trip, it can be enjoyed by anyone who is reasonably fit. Please be aware that any visit to Petra requires a fair amount of walking. The amount of energy you expend there is largely up to you. The program in Wadi Rum involves a mixture of camel riding and a jeep safari.

Itinerary disclaimer
Occasionally our itineraries are updated during the year to incorporate improvements stemming from past travellers' comments and our own research. The information given in this itinerary may be slightly different to that in the brochure. It's very important that you print and review a final copy of this Essential Trip Information a couple of days prior to travel, in case there have been changes that affect your plans. If you have any queries, please contact your travel agent or our staff in Australia. We are here to help you!
Please note that while we operate successful trips in this region throughout the year, some changes may occur in our itineraries due to inclement weather and common seasonal changes to timetables and transport routes. This can happen with little notice so please be prepared for modifications to the route. The order and timing of included activities in each location may also vary from time to time.
Wadi Rum:
Please note that the two days in Wadi Rum are quite active. You'll ride a camel, enjoy a jeep safari and Wadi Rum is a great place for walking. So, while you don't need to be particularly fit, there is a fair amount of activity. You also spend the night in a basic Bedouin tent. This is all a lot of fun and a great experience, but please be aware of the nature of the experience.
Essential Trip Information
Important notes
An optional single supplement is available on this trip. Please refer to your booking agent for further information.
Please note, on the following nights the Single Supplement is not available:
- Day 3: Wadi Rum
Pre-departure checklist
Before you travel please download our pre-departure checklist to make sure you are fully prepared for your trip:http://www.peregrineadventures.com/pre-departure-travel-checklist
Passport and visas
As a general rule most countries expect that your passport has a minimum of 6 months validity remaining. Please ensure the name on your passport matches the name on your booking and airline tickets. Your passport details are required to complete your booking. Your consultant will contact you when this is required. Take a copy of the main passport pages and other important documents with you, and leave another copy at home with family or friends.
Visas are the responsibility of the individual traveller. Entry requirements can change at any time, so it's important that you check for the latest information. Please visit the relevant consular website of the country or countries you're visiting for detailed and up-to-date visa information specific to your nationality. Your consultant will also be happy to point you in the right direction with acquiring visas. Visas can take several weeks to process, so familiarise yourself with any requirements as soon as you have booked your trip to allow for processing time.
We keep the following information up to date as much as possible, but rules do change - it's important that you check for yourself. Residents from countries not listed below must consult the relevant embassies or your travel agent.
Australia: Yes - on arrival
Belgium: Yes - on arrival
Canada: Yes - on arrival
Germany: Yes - on arrival
Ireland: Yes - on arrival
Netherlands: Yes - on arrival
New Zealand: Yes - on arrival
South Africa: Yes - on arrival
Switzerland: Yes - on arrival
United Kingdom: Yes - on arrival
USA: Yes - on arrival
Visas are required by all visitors entering Jordan. Single entry visas valid for 14 days and can be obtained by most nationalities on arrival at the airport in Amman or at the Jordanian border for approximately JOD40. It can be significantly more expensive to acquire your visa from the embassy in your home country. If you require a stay longer than 14 days, visas obtained from the embassy in your home country will be valid for two months.
Please note that although there are ATMs in Amman airport, there are currently no ATMs in the immigration halls – only currency exchanges – so you must ensure you have enough foreign currency on hand if you do not have your visa in advance.
Medical and health information
All travellers need to be in good physical health in order to participate fully on this trip. When selecting your trip please make sure you have read through the itinerary carefully and assess your ability to cope with our style of travel. Please note that if, in the opinion of our group leader or local guide, any traveller is unable to complete the itinerary without undue risk to themselves and/or the rest of the group, Intrepid reserves the right to exclude them from all or part of a trip without refund.
You should consult your doctor for up-to-date medical travel information or for any necessary vaccinations and anti-malarial requirements before departure. We recommend that you carry a first aid kit as well as any personal medical requirements (including a spare pair of glasses) as they may not easily be obtained at the locations on this trip. For legal reasons our leaders and guides are prohibited from administering any type of drugs including headache tablets and antibiotics. Please ensure that you are adequately prepared.
As a rule we recommend you don't drink tap water, even in hotels, as it may contain much higher levels of different minerals than the water you are used to at home. For local people this is not a problem as their bodies are used to this and can cope, but for visitors drinking the tap water can result in illness. Generally this isn't serious, an upset stomach being the only symptom, but it's enough to spoil a day or two of your holiday. Bottled water is widely available and your leader can recommend safe alternatives when available. Water consumption should be about three litres a day. Rehydration salts, motion sickness tablets, and diarrhoea blockers are available from many pharmacies.
Food and dietary requirements
Your group leader or representative will endeavour to cater for specific dietary requirements where possible, and vegetarianism and gluten intolerance will be catered for in most instances. There are, however some meals and activities that are fixed in advance and therefore cannot be modified to suit dietary requirements. These instances will be indicated in the Essential Trip Information itinerary. Please notify your group leader of any dietary requirements in your group meeting at the start of the trip.
For those suffering from particular food allergies, your group leader or representative will endeavour to disclose to their fullest knowledge the main ingredients in dishes being consumed. It is, however, your personal responsibility to ensure that you do not ingest any foods to which you are allergic.
Desert camp (1 night), Hotel (6 nights)
Our accommodation styles range from Basic to Comfortable. Read below for what you can expect from each category. The style of each night of accommodation is listed on the day to day itinerary, alongside any exceptions you need to be made aware of.
This is roughing it in the roughest sense. Our Basic accommodation includes campsites and wilderness lodges with very limited facilities, and homestays with squat/drop toilets and no showers. Sometimes you might spend a night on a train, bus or boat (all seated, no sleepers). Luxurious, it isn't, but sleeping under the stars or in a hammock in the jungle is all part of the experience.
Simple by name, simple by nature: think local guesthouses and homestays, the occasional shared dorm-style room, overnight sleeper trains or boats, and campsites with facilities. Some of our Simple accommodation has outside facilities, and you may be starting the day with a brisk shower if hot water isn't available (some say cold, we say invigorating).
No frills, no fuss and no chocolate on your pillow at bedtime, but a clean and comfy place to lay your head. Tourist accommodation covers basic hotels, local guesthouses and lodges, permanent campsites and the occasional multi-share room. Our Tourist rooms usually have no heating or air conditioning, and sometimes you'll be sharing a bathroom.
A cheerful room to call your own at the end of a long day of seeing the sights and sites. Our Standard rooms are convenient and cosy, and will usually include an en suite bathroom. Rooms are sometimes on the small side and amenities may be limited.
Pretty much exactly what it says on the box. Expect pleasant accommodation, your own bathroom, and heating/air conditioning where appropriate. Most of our Comfortable accommodation has lifts, porters to help with your bags and are – yep – a comfortable spot to end your busy days.
Each of our small group tours includes at least one stand out property – places that offer a deeper level of cultural immersion or unique perspective of a destination.
4WD vehicle, Camel, Jeep, Private aircon bus, Public aircon coach
Money matters
When it comes to money matters on the trip, every traveller is a little different. You know your spending habits better than we do, so please budget a sensible amount for things like meals not included, drinks, shopping, optional activities, tipping and laundry. It's always better to bring a little more than you think you'll need.
Also make sure you've read your trip details thoroughly so you know what's included in the trip price and what isn't. This should make budgeting a little easier. You'll find this info in the Inclusions section of your Essential Trip Information (that's this document).
Please note: all recommendations for additional costs, tipping etc. are in USD. You will need to convert these into the relevant local currency.
Depending on the style of trip you have chosen (Basix, Original or Comfort), included meals will vary.
Breakfast. If breakfast is not included, you can expect to pay between USD5 to USD10 at a local café.
Lunch. Lunch at a touristy restaurant should cost around USD10 to USD20. However, local street food can be substantially cheaper.
Dinner. At dinner time, your leader will normally recommend restaurants where you can safely try the local specialties of the region. Expect meals to cost between USD15 to USD25 for a main.
These are indicative prices only. If you are in a tight budget and are happy to eat just local food you can eat cheaper than this. If you want to try the finest food at the finest restaurants, then you can expect meals to cost as much as in western countries.
Gratuities for all services are included in the cost of your trip. Although not compulsory, if you feel your have received outstanding services throughout your trip, you may also consider tipping your leader and crew (if applicable) as these are not included. The amount is entirely a personal preference; however as a guideline USD2 to USD3 per person, per day can be used. Of course you are free to tip more or less as you see fit, depending on your perception of service quality and the length of your trip. Remember, a tip is not compulsory and should only be given when you receive excellent service.
We try to plan for every eventuality, but there are still some things beyond our control. Please make sure you bring an extra USD500 for emergencies (e.g. natural disasters or civil unrest). Sometimes these things necessitate last minute changes to our itineraries, and we can't guarantee there won't be some extra costs involved.
With the exception of Iran, ATMs are widely available in major towns and cities throughout the Middle East and Turkey. Credit and debit cards are the best way to access money throughout most trips (note though that charges are made for each transaction). Credit cards are generally available in tourist shops and restaurants. Visa and Mastercard are generally preferred over American Express, Diners, etc. Smaller venues take cash only.
Check with your bank before departure that your card is accepted in the countries you are travelling to. Also ensure your bank is aware of your travel plans as - suspecting fraud - they may cancel your cards after the first few international transactions.
Be aware that your withdrawing limit may vary from country to country (regardless of your withdrawing limit in your home country) and it can be as low as the equivalent to USD100 per day.
What you need to bring will vary according to the trip style you have chosen, the countries you are visiting and when you are travelling. Generally speaking, we recommend you pack as lightly as possible and make sure that you are able to carry and lift your own luggage, and walk with it for short distances.
Most travellers carry their luggage in a backpack, although an overnight bag with a shoulder strap would suffice if you travel lightly. Smaller bags or backpacks with wheels are convenient although we recommend your bag has carry straps. You'll also need a day pack/bag to carry water and a camera etc for day trips.
Below are some ideas and helpful tips on what you specifically need for this trip.
• Travel documents: passport, visa (if required), travel insurance, air tickets or e-ticket receipts and a copy of this document.
• Photocopy of main passport pages, visa (if required), travel insurance and air tickets.
• Personal medical kit. Your guide will carry a large kit but we recommend you carry items such as mild pain killers, electrolytes and bandaids.
• Daypack
• Watch/Alarm clock or phone that can be used for both.
• Power adaptors
• Insect repellent
• Sun protection - hat, sunscreen, sunglasses
• Earplugs and eye mask (you might be sharing with a snorer!)
• Water bottle. We recommend at least a 1.5litre capacity. The sale of bottled water contributes to an enormous environmental problem around the world. In addition to the water in bottles, the production of a 1 litre plastic bottle takes 2 litres of water and 200ml of oil. A large proportion end up in limited landfill or discarded in waterways and natural environments.
• Warm clothes including hat and gloves - When travelling in cooler climates
• Wind and waterproof rain jacket
• Toiletries/travel wipes
• Travel Towel
• Closed in, comfortable walking shoes. As most of our trips include some walking elements, we highly recommend that you take a pair of comfortable, closed-in walking shoes. Closed-in shoes will help to protect your feet from cuts and scratches when walking through bush/grass-lands, and will also act as a barrier protection in rare cases against bites or stings.
• Camera with spare memory cards and batteries
• Swimwear (itinerary dependant)
• Clothes! Bear in mind that laundry facilities will be widely available throughout this trip. The cost varies in each destination.
On this trip, you must pack as lightly as possible because you will be expected to carry your own bag and, although you won't be required to walk long distances with your luggage, we strongly recommend keeping the weight under 15kg. If your itinerary includes a flight, please keep in mind that some domestic airlines have checked luggage limits of 15kg.
Please note that as a desert region, the Middle East can have extreme weather. Temperatures are generally hot with little rain. This can become extreme during the summer months of June to August. In the months of December to March it can be very cold, particularly next to the river or the ocean and out in the desert where night temperatures can drop dramatically. Even in the hot months, it can get cold in the desert at night. Consider bringing a sleeping bag, thermals, scarf, gloves and a warm jacket for travel in this period, especially on itineraries which include camping such as on a felucca, in a desert camp, or at a Red Sea beach camp. A light water and windproof jacket is useful and a hat is essential.
Please try to avoid bringing unnecessary valuables, and use your hotel safes to store the bulk of your money, passport, and airline tickets. It's also a good idea to purchase a money belt or pouch that is easily hidden. We strongly recommend that you photocopy all important documents e.g. air tickets, passport, vaccination certificate, etc. and keep the copies separate from the originals. While not valid, a photocopy makes it very much easier to obtain replacements if necessary.
Most of our trips have access to power to recharge batteries for phones and cameras regularly. We always recommend that you carry an extra battery for your camera just in case. Charging of batteries is advised before checking out of your hotel rooms. Please bear in mind there may be some nights were electricity may not be as readily available as you might be used to – home stays, beach and desert camps etc.
Climate and seasonal information
The winter months in Jordan (December through to February) can be quite cold. Temperatures in northern parts of the country can drop to freezing overnight. Snowfall around these areas as well as Amman is common. You will need to be prepared to travel in varying temperatures over these months.
In 2016, the important month of Ramadan will be in progress from 06 June through until 05 July, and the Eid ul-Fitr festival will be held directly at its conclusion for 3-4 days. Ramadan is a festival of sacrifice where the devout refrain from eating or drinking during daylight hours. During Ramadan, business hours are shortened, including opening hours at some tourist attractions. Alcohol is not permitted during daylight hours and many restaurants will be closed. While you should expect some delays and inconveniences during this period, the month is a fantastic opportunity to travel in a Muslim country and witness this unique period, particularly the nightly celebrations when the sun sets and the fast is broken. Please note that although the Eid ul-Fitr festival can also be a fascinating time to travel it's a period of national holiday. Most government offices and businesses will be closed and some tourist site opening hours may be affected.
Group Leader
All group trips are accompanied by one of our group leaders. The aim of the group leader is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. We endeavour to provide the services of an experienced leader however, due to the seasonality of travel, rare situations may arise where your leader is new to a particular region or training other group leaders.
Your leader 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 places visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects. We aim to support local guides who have specialised knowledge of the regions we visit. If you were interested in delving deeper into the local culture at a specific site or location then your leader can recommend a local guide service in most of the main destinations of your trip.
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 and ensure that your travel insurance covers you for all areas your itinerary covers. Please refer to our website's safety page for links to major travel advisories and updates on safety issues affecting our trip.
We strongly recommend the use of a neck wallet or money belt while travelling, for the safe-keeping of your passport, air tickets, cash and other valuable items. Leave your valuable jewellery at home - you won't need it while travelling. Many of our hotels have safety deposit boxes, which is the most secure way of storing your valuables. A lock is recommended for securing your luggage.
Your leader will accompany you on all included activities, however during your trip you'll have some free time to pursue your own interests, relax and take it easy or explore at your leisure. While your leader will assist you with the available options in a given location, please note that any optional activities you undertake are not part of your Intrepid itinerary, and Intrepid makes 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. Please also note that your Leader has the authority to amend or cancel any part of the trip itinerary if it's deemed necessary due to safety concerns.
For more details on the type of conditions and safety standards you can expect on your trip, please refer to Intrepid's operational safety policy on our website. We recommend that you take a moment to read through this information before travelling, and would appreciate any feedback on how well it's being implemented in the field:
Please be aware that local laws governing tourism facilities in this region differ from those in your home country and not all the accommodation which we use has a fire exit, fire extinguishers or smoke alarms.
Some hotel balconies don't meet western standards in terms of the width of the balcony fence being narrower than 10cm.
Depending on where you come from please note that drivers in this part of the world may drive on the opposite side of the road from what you are used to. Look both ways before crossing any road. Traffic can be a little more chaotic than you might be used to at home. Be aware!
Please be aware that local laws governing transportation safety may differ from those in your home country and not all the transport which we use is able to provide seat belts.
While travelling there is always the risk of pick-pocketing and petty theft, particularly in the more touristy cities. We recommend that you exercise caution when walking alone at night and encourage you to walk together and only on main, well-lit thoroughfares. Be particularly vigilant on public transport. Simple measures like carrying your day pack on your front, not hanging your bag over the back of your chair or on the floor and wearing a money belt will reduce any chance that your valuables should go missing.
Please take care when taking part in any activities in the ocean, river or open water, where waves and currents can be unpredictable. It's expected that anyone taking part in water activities is able to swim and have experience in open water. All swimmers should seek local advice before entering the water.
We recommend that you check your government's advice in relation to the areas you will be visiting for their latest travel information before departure and ensure that your travel insurance covers you for all areas your itinerary covers.
A couple of rules
Illegal drugs will not be tolerated on our 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 our destinations such special places. The exploitation of prostitutes is completely contrary to this philosophy. Our group leader or local representative has the right to expel any member of the group if drugs are found in their possession or if they use prostitutes.
Everyone has the right to feel safe and secure on their trip. We don't tolerate any form of sexual harassment, either between passengers or involving our leaders or local operators. Sexual relationships (consensual or otherwise) between a leader and a passenger are unacceptable. If you ever feel another person is behaving inappropriately please inform us immediately by contacting the emergency contact number detailed in these trip notes.
Travelling on a group trip
As you travel on a group trip you will be exposed to all the pleasures and maybe some of the frustrations of travelling in a group. Your fellow travellers will probably come from all corners of the world and likely a range of age groups too. We ask you to be understanding of the various needs and preferences of your group - patience with your fellow travellers is sometimes required for the benefit of everyone's travel experience. Remember too that you have responsibilities to the group. If you are requested to be at a place at a certain time, ensure that you don't keep the rest of the group waiting. We have found time and time again that the very best trips we operate are those where the dynamics within the group work well - this takes just a little effort on your part. Sharing a room can be a great way to get to know people quickly and make close friends. It just takes a little effort on your part.
Travel Insurance
Travel insurance is compulsory for all our trips. We require that, at a minimum, you are covered for medical expenses including emergency repatriation. We strongly recommend that the policy also covers personal liability, cancellation, curtailment and loss of luggage and personal effects.
When travelling on a group trip, you won't be permitted to join the group until evidence of travel insurance and the insurance company's 24 hour emergency contact number has been seen by your leader.
If you have credit card insurance your group leader will require details of the participating insurer/underwriter, the level of coverage, policy number and emergency contact number rather than the bank's name and credit card details. Please contact your bank for these details prior to arriving in-country.
Responsible Travel
Travelling responsibly is all about making good choices. It's about ensuring you have an incredible trip while also having a positive impact on the local environment, community and economy you're travelling in. How can you be a Responsible Traveller? See our tips below:
- Choose to travel with a responsible travel company like us! We've already offset the main carbon emissions of your trip, so your footprint is already lighter.
- Consider offsetting your flights when you book your trip/flights with us or your travel agent.
- Bring a refillable water bottle and some water purification tablets (or a Steripen) to cut down on plastic bottle waste.
- Be an animal-friendly traveller. Only go to venues that respect animals by allowing them to live normally in their natural environment. Steer clear of venues that use animals for entertainment or abnormal activities and/or keep animals in poor and unnatural conditions.
- Eat at local restaurants, buy from regional artists and support social enterprises so you can contribute directly to locals and their economy.
- Always be respectful of local customs and ask permission if you want to take a photo of someone.
- Learn a few words of the local language and engage with the people around you.
- Carry a cloth or re-usable bag so you can avoid plastic bags.
- Give back by making a donation to a local project via The Intrepid Foundation.
Share your thoughts with us by completing your feedback form after your trip. This helps us to continue to improve our commitment to responsible travel.
The Intrepid Foundation
The Intrepid Foundation is a not-for-profit foundation set up to enable our travellers to help make a difference by supporting local communities, projects and non-government organisations in the places we travel. The smallest contribution can make an enormous difference and all donations to The Intrepid Foundation are matched dollar for dollar (yes, we'll double your donation!). We support a range of initiatives – from wildlife protection and environmental conservation to supporting vocational training for underprivileged individuals – all with the aim of helping to improve lives and empower communities across the world to make meaningful change.

Ad Pasting Jobs that Really Pay
Wanna Earn Money Posting Ads From Home?
Posting ads for companies have become a rising source of income for many. Since finding a reliable way to earn income online these days, is not so easy to find, ad posting has become the "Go-To" Job for many. This type of work used to be more popular in countries such as India and Indonesia. However, upon the rising need of outsourcing, many other countries have began using this system as a funding source as well. I believe the idea originated from India ( a very intelligent and resourceful nation) in which other countries have taken notice and decided to followed their lead.
Are Ad Posting Jobs a Scam?
Of course, there are ad posting scams out there. Therefore, you have to make sure you choose the right company. There are a lot of "Copy cat" companies who realized this is the way to earn quick money from the registration fees, so they opened up a temporary website with the sole idea to collect fees and NOT to pay anyone. These are the ones you really need to be careful of. I have done quite a bit of research on these companies and many of the scams seem to be originating from rackspace outsourcing. These companies have hundreds of complaints on the web and have created multiple websites. That's not to say they are the only scams in this field, but that name is to be watched out for when visiting any ad posting site.
Do I have to Live in The USA to Work Doing ad Posting?
The great advantage to most ad posting jobs are they accept ALL countries. Because it is outsourcing, most companies will pay in ways such as western union, moneygram and direct bank transfer if the traditional ways do not suit you. Most companies restrict certain countries because they can only pay by paypal, so this is a big plus.
How Do Ad Posting Jobs Work?
All ad posting companies have different rules, different payout terms and different restrictions. It's good to make sure to read their facts page and terms of use page thoroughly. Some I find are so strict in their assignment terms, that it's almost impossible to be able to complete an assignment. Even worse, if the company doesn't allow for corrections, you may just end up doing a report and get nothing for it. Try to avoid a company that puts too many terms on a report such as only allowing 3 mistakes in your grammar. Remember, these are supposed to be "No experience required" job offers. So there should not be too many restrictions on grammar mistakes. You should be allowed to make corrections.
Most companies will require a specific amount of ads posted in order to get paid. Usually one assignment is required. That could be from 150 ads to 400 ads. Each job also has a monthly earning limit, so if you were expecting to make thousands of dollars per month, that won't happen. But you can make a good amount of extra cash to put in your pocket. If you want more money, I suggest looking into the Franchise option. Over all, this is a great earning opportunity that pays either when an assignment is completed or weekly or bi weekly.

We just purchase a new RV so that we could go travel around the country. The first few times we too a small trip with Churchill he became very anxious. Breathing hard and heart pounding.

I don't want to put him on more medication so my vet suggested "Stress Away" any suggestions?? He is 5 years old and we have taken him on many trips in our SUV, but never in an RV. Thanks.

The Cult of Nikola Tesla
The name of Nikola Tesla is associated with crazy conspiracy claims that have nothing to do with his real work.
By Brian Dunning via Skeptoid
No personality in the history of science has been pushed further into the realm of mythology than the Serbian-American electrical engineer Nikola Tesla. He is, without a doubt, one of the true giants in the history of electromagnetic theory. As an inventor he was as prolific as they come, with approximately 300 patents having been discovered in at least 26 countries, but many more inventions as well that stayed within his lab and were never patented. As remarkable as were his talents was his personality: private, eccentric, possessed of extraordinary memory and bizarre habits, and with a headlong descent into mental illness during his later years. Tesla's unparalleled combination of genius and aberrance have turned him into one of the seminal cult figures of the day. As such, at least as much fiction as fact have swirled around popular accounts of his life, and devotees of conspiracy theories and alternative science hypotheses have hijacked his name more than that of any other figure. Today we're going to try and separate that fiction from the fact.
First, a very brief outline of his life; but in order to put it in the proper perspective, we have to first clear up a popular misconception. Tesla did not invent alternating current, which is what he's best remembered for. AC had been around for a quarter century before he was born, which was in 1856 in what's now Croatia. While Tesla was a young man working as a telephone engineer, other men around Europe were already developing AC transformers and setting up experimental power transmission grids to send alternating current over long distances. Tesla's greatest early development was in his mind: a rotary magnetic field, which would make possible an electric induction motor that could run directly from AC, unlike all existing electric motors, which were DC. At the time, AC had to be converted to DC to run a motor, at a loss of efficiency. Induction motors had been conceived before his birth, but none had ever been built. Tesla built a working prototype, but only two years after another inventor, Galileo Ferraris, had also independently conceived the rotary magnetic field and built his own working prototype. Rightfully fearing that his own obscurity as a telephone engineer was hampering his efforts as an inventor, Tesla arranged to move to the United States. He did so in 1884, getting his famously ill-fated and short-lived job in Thomas Edison's laboratory.
The tycoon George Westinghouse, who understood the potential of AC and induction motors and was actively seeking them, gratefully purchased some of Tesla's patents as soon as he learned about them. Royalties from Westinghouse fattened Tesla's wallet, and a number of highly public projects on which they collaborated made him a celebrity, including the 1893 illumination of the World's Fair with alternating current, and the subsequent creation of the Niagara Falls power plant. It was as a result of this windfall that Tesla set up his own laboratories and created his most intriguing inventions. Let's run through a list of some of the seemingly magical feats attributed to Tesla, beginning with . . .

If this timeline is correct, this will be the first time since Season 13 with no legs in east asia!!! I love east asia, but we need a break from it.
Peach, I think Vietnam has now in fact only one leg. It would be have a 36-hour (extended) Pit Stop. And also, Mount Vernon is not in Washington, DC, it's in fact located in Alexandria, Virginia.
Vietnam is in Southeast Asia as far as I know
So leg 6 is now not Hanoi.
I believe that the two eliminated legs from the possibles are:Maun - 2nd leg thereLondon (for which we have no information whatever)

UBS PaineWebber: a new name.
UBS PaineWebber: a new name, a continuing commitment.
With effect from today, the US Private Clients businesses of UBS Warburg will be named UBS PaineWebber, better reflecting their relationship to the rest of the UBS Group and emphasising the enhanced products, services, expanded research and global capabilities offered to their clients following the merger.
Since its founding in 1879, PaineWebber has undergone many significant changes while becoming one of the US's pre-eminent financial services firms. But perhaps no event has had as profound an impact as the merger in 2000 between PaineWebber and UBS AG. But while their name may have changed, there's one thing that hasn't: UBS PaineWebber's commitment to create personalised investment solutions for private clients in the US.

Yes, it's true. The venerable NewtonTalk mailing list is moving to a new home. I originally posted the following notice to the list, but seeing as the list will be undergoing migration to its new servers over the next week or so, it needed a more permanent home.
Hello list.
I'd like to notify everyone of some imminent changes to the NewtonTalk mailing list.
Bill Shamam and I will be migrating the NewtonTalk mailing list and website to a new server within the next several days. This move will also involve switching the mailing list to run on new software. This is a necessary change as the current list software (eCartis) has not been supported or actively developed for several years.
With any transition that involves technology, data and the aethernets, things are bound to break. We will be doing our best to keep the downtime to a mimimum, but there will be gaps in the availability of the list and the website.
Details regarding the timing of the move will be posted to the list as soon as we have more details.
During the move, you can follow updates via the NewtonTalk Twitter account:
Thanks in advance for your patience and support.
