Pacemaker for BradycardiaSkip to the navigation
Treatment Overview
A pacemaker is a small battery-powered device that sends weak electrical impulses to "set a pace" so that the heart is able to keep a regular heartbeat.
There are different types of pacemakers, so your doctor will work with you to decide what kind will be best for you.
- Single-chamber pacemakers stimulate one chamber of the heart, either an upper chamber (atrium) or, more commonly, a lower one (ventricle).
- Dual-chamber pacemakers send electrical impulses to both the atrium and the ventricle and pace both chambers. A dual-chamber pacemaker synchronizes the rhythm of the atrium and ventricles in a pattern that closely resembles the natural heartbeat. Dual-chamber pacemakers are often used to treat a slow heart rate.
Most new pacemakers are rate-responsive, or physiologic, pacemakers. This type of pacemaker varies its rate to cause the heart to beat faster when you are exercising to meet your body's increased needs or slower when you are at rest. Another type, the fixed-rate pacemaker, sends electrical impulses at a set rate that does not vary either faster or slower. Both types of pacemakers send electrical impulses when the heart rate drops to a predetermined "slow" level.
How pacemakers are placed
Permanent pacemakers are surgically implanted into the chest.
The procedure to implant a pacemaker is considered minor surgery. It can usually be done using local anesthesia . Your doctor will make a small incision in your chest wall just below your collarbone. He or she then usually threads the pacemaker wires (leads) through the incision into a large blood vessel in the upper chest and into the heart. Your doctor uses X-rays to place the leads in the heart. Using the same incision, your doctor creates a small pocket under the skin to hold the pacemaker. He or she then attaches the leads to the pacemaker. The procedure takes about an hour.
Temporary pacemakers
Temporary pacemakers are located outside the body and attached to the heart by a wire threaded through a neck vein or leg vein or through the chest wall. Temporary pacemakers are most commonly used for a short time following heart surgery or in emergency situations.
What To Expect After Treatment
Most people stay overnight in the hospital after having a pacemaker implanted and typically go home the next day. But sometimes, the surgery is done as an outpatient procedure, which means you do not need to stay overnight in the hospital.
Most people return to normal activities after a few weeks. For several weeks after having a pacemaker implanted, you should avoid vigorous physical activity that involves the upper body.
Some activities and situations can interrupt the signals sent by the pacemaker to the heart. You may need to adapt some of your activities. Follow your doctor's specific instructions about care and precautions if you have a pacemaker.
Once or twice a year your doctor will check your pacemaker and adjust it, if needed. footnote 1 In between checkups at your doctor's office, you will probably send information from your pacemaker to your doctor. You will do this by using a telephone or the Internet.
Permanent pacemakers are powered by batteries. The batteries usually last 5 to 15 years before they need to be replaced.
Why It Is Done
Your doctor might recommend that you get a pacemaker if:
- You have a problem with your heart rhythm that could be helped by a pacemaker.
- You have trouble doing everyday activities, or you can't do them at all.
- You have health problems that increase your chances of having heartbeat problems.
How Well It Works
Pacemakers stimulate the heart to speed up when it beats too slowly. They can also substitute for the natural pacemaker of the heart ( SA node ) or the heart tissue that regulates the beating of the ventricles (AV node).
Pacemakers allow people to return to normal, active lives. Most people have very few limitations, if any.
There are several risks to getting a pacemaker. But risks vary for each person. The chance of most problems is low.
The procedure to implant a pacemaker is safe and most people do well afterward. Afterward, you will see your doctor regularly to check your pacemaker and make sure you don't have any problems.
During the procedure
If problems happen during the procedure, doctors can likely fix them right away.
- A lung could collapse (pneumothorax). This happens if air builds up in the space between the lung and the chest wall. But a pneumothorax can be treated and people recover well. This problem may happen about 1 to 5 times out of a 100. footnote 2
- A tear in the heart could happen. Or a person might need emergency medicine or surgery. Based on rates of complications from patients, these problems happen about 1 time out of 100. So about 99 times out of 100, these problems do not happen. footnote 3
After the procedure
Problems after the procedure can be minor, like mild pain, or serious, like an infection. But your doctor can solve most of these problems. And most people do not have long-term issues with their pacemakers.
Problems include:
- Pain, bleeding, or bruising soon after the procedure.
- Blood clots in your arms, which cause a lot of swelling.
- Infection in your chest near the pacemaker. An infection might happen about 1 time out of 100. This means that about 99 times out of 100 there is no infection. footnote 4
- Device problems that need another procedure to fix them. This might happen if a pacemaker lead breaks or a lead moves out of place.
What To Think About
In rare cases, people feel throbbing in the neck, chest fullness, or lightheadedness when the pacemaker sends out impulses. Talk to your doctor about what types of side effects you may expect from your pacemaker.
In rare cases, pacemakers are recalled by the maker of the pacemaker. A recall means that the pacemaker has a problem that needs to be watched closely or fixed.

One third of Americans now count themselves part of the lower-middle or lower classes, according to a report from Pew Research centre, including nearly 40 per cent of young people between the ages of 18 and 30.The numbers are jarring not only for the grim picture they paint of the current economy, but because the broad majority Americans historically have resisted thinking of themselves of anything but solidly middle class.
More troubling is that the pessimism reflected in the report doesn't appear to be a simple result of the recent downturn. "It's clear something's going on before the recession," says Rich Morin, one of the authors of the report, who worked on a similar survey Pew conducted in early 2008. "If you asked people even before the technical recession began, a significant proportion said we were in one."
In that earlier survey, only 25 per cent of Americans adults, age 18 to 64, classified themselves as lower class.
The study continues a parade of grim statistical jeremiads from Pew signaling a long-range economic downward slide, one that isn't stopping after two years of supposed recovery.
Last month the research centre released a report titled "The Lost Decade of the Middle Class"; today it reviewed U.S. Census Bureau data showing that median income has dropped by 4.1 per cent since we've been in recovery, only a tenth of a percentage point less than it fell during the recession.
Economists generally include the middle 60 per cent of the country in the middle class, a definition that encompasses households bringing in between $25,000 and $100,000 a year. The rest of us tend to stretch the distinction even further. "Most people tend to think of themselves as middle class unless they're Warren Buffett or really poor," economist J.D. Foster of the Heritage Foundation told Reuters last year.
Even President Barack Obama draws the line at those making less than $250,000; above that, and you are a target for his proposed tax hikes on the rich.
To compensate for the statistical drift toward the middle class, Morin and his co-author, Seth Motel, grouped those who identified as "lower class" or "lower-middle class" into a single designation, as the 2008 Pew study did.
If measuring people's self-perceptions seem fuzzy, what surveys about economic classes tell us are not, Morin says. People respond according the actual facts of their paycheck, he says, but how they respond also reveals how you are engaging with the economy. "It is truly the way you feel about yourself and you define yourself," says Morin.
That's why, Morin says, we should be particular concerned about younger Americans. "That's a real worry," he says, noting that "the eternal optimism of youth" usually is enough to get 20-somethings through a few down years. "An increase to 39 per cent [from 25 per cent] in just four years is a remarkable finding."

Haw River Valley
Between Greensboro and Durham
The Haw River Valley is a 868-square-mile region located in Alamance, Caswell, Chatham, Guilford, Orange and Rockingham counties in North Carolina. It is an agricultural area that has a long growing season, with 214 frost-free growing days, making it a great place for growing crops that need a long growing season like tobacco and red vinifera winegrapes. Many vineyards now border the Haw River on sloping land that contain soils that are very deep and well drained.
The area is rapidly gaining a reputation for a microclimate, long growing season and mineral-rich soils that produce superior wine grapes. Wineries in the Haw River Valley include:
- Grove Winery & Vineyards www.GroveWinery.com
- Benjamin Vineyards www.BenjaminVineyards.com
- Glen Marie Winery www.GlenMarieWinery.com
- Silk Hope Winery www.silkhopewinery.com
- Wolfe Wines www.wolfewines.com
Federal Designation of Haw River Valley AVA
When you think of well-known wine regions in the United States, names like Napa Valley and Sonoma Valley come to mind. Now the Piedmont of North Carolina has its own AVA, the Haw River Valley.
On March 30,, 2009 the Haw River Valley was recognized by the federal government as an official AVA which is a distinctive grape growing and wine producing area. An AVA is defined as a "delimited grape-growing region distinguishable by geographical features". These features include climate, soil, topography, and elevation that distinguish the viticultural region from its surrounding areas.
The Haw River Valley AVA is the third AVA in the state of North Carolina. The other two are in the western part of the state in the Yadkin Valley area. You can read the technical details of the AVA award on the government's website.
Haw River Valley AVA In the News
Here are some recent mentions of the Haw River Valley in the News:
- Official Federal Announcment: http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2009/E9-7035.htm

One of the hottest trades in the world this year has been Japan.
Short the yen, buy Japanese stocks. It's practically become conventional wisdom.
In fact, Japanese equities were basically the hottest major asset class in the entire world before today's bloodbath, posting 20.9% cumulative gains over the past three months alone.
Last night, though, sparked by the first notable sell-off in three weeks in American stock markets – and really driven home by new data overnight that revealed the Chinese manufacturing sector has unexpectedly dipped into contraction – the Nikkei 225 plummeted 7.3%, marking its biggest single-day drop since the earthquake that ravaged Japan two years ago.
That takes the Nikkei back to levels not seen since May 9 (it's been moving quickly on the way up).
At least one analyst finds the drop-off in Japan reminiscent of the Lehman Brothers collapse in 2008 that unleashed turmoil on markets.
"Lehman-like in Japan," writes Société Générale foreign exchange strategist Sebastien Galy in an email this morning.
"Volatility in the [Japanese government bond] futures market forced the [Bank of Japan] to step in, if some sources are to be believed," says Galy. "More broadly the carry trade built up over the past few months is unwinding as VaR management systems kick in with higher volatility, expect rising margin calls and the likes."
In February, when we solicited our favourite analysts for the charts that worried them most, Phoenix Partners Group Chief Equities Strategist Michael Block told us, "The Japanese 5-year iTRAXX CDS spread has come screaming tighter as bullish euphoria has taken hold in Japanese stocks and credit. When this miracle has a blip, a lot of folks long credit (including ones who are long structured products that are short these CDS and indices) are going to feel pain…and guess what?? The same folks are also short yen…long U.S. stocks…you get the picture. CORRELATION WILL BE THE DEATH OF US AGAIN."
In a note, Société Générale cross-asset strategists point out that hedge funds have already begun winding down their positions in Japanese stocks after a big build-up this year.
The charts above also highlight the fact that after the dizzying run of the past few months, the Japanese stock market has returned all the way to the highs seen in 2006.
In a note to clients written last night before the release of the ugly China manufacturing data, Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Chief Technical Analyst Naohiko Miyata mused on the high levels of Japanese stocks as well, warning that a big correction could be forthcoming:
We think the wave count shown in Figure 2 is appropriate for the rise in the TOPIX index that began from 692.18 in June 2012. The advance beginning from 971.33 in April 2013 can be counted as wave 5, and once this wave runs its course we think ascending wave (1) running from June 2012 will be completed.
In calculating the wave 5 upside target, one classical approach says that the rise from wave 1 to wave 3 and the subsequent rise to wave 5 form a golden ratio.
We try applying this principle to the TOPIX. There was a 369.57pt advance from wave 1 to wave 3, and 61.8% of this figure is 228.39pt. Adding this result to the wave 3 high of 1,061.75, we get a wave 5 upside target of 1,290.14, which corresponds well with the high of 1,289.77 in morning trading today (May 23).
TOPIX could enter wave (2) correction
As of this writing during morning trading on May 23, we are not especially confident that a correction is about to begin simply because the USD-basis Nikkei average and the TOPIX have reached milestones. However corrective wave (2) is poised to begin once wave 5 within wave (1) comes to an end, and we assume this will be the largest correction since June 2012. The "first act" of the so-called Abenomics market may be coming to an end, and we think movements in the near term need to be watched closely.
The yen is up 1.75% against the dollar this morning. Japanese 10-year bond yields rose 11.5 basis points to 1% overnight, marking the highest bond yields since April 2012. European markets are heavy in the red across the board. In the United States, futures point to a 1% drop when markets open.

RTS was established to provide serious, realistic training for ministry so that people would be won to Christ and built up in the faith, resulting in healthy, growing churches and a perceptive application of the Bible to all facets of life.
Since the Bible is absolutely and finally authoritative as the inerrant Word of God, it is the basis for the total curriculum. Students are equipped with the necessary skills to understand and teach the Scriptures, developing above all a burning desire to know and do the will of God as revealed in the Old and New Testaments, for the essence of Reformed theology is a willingness constantly to conform all of life to the Word of God. Our primary distinctives are a commitment to historic Reformed theology and the Bible as God's inerrant Word.
The seminary recognizes that there are evangelical and Reformed brothers and sisters in Christ within various denominations and Christian organizations who hold views concerning doctrine, missions, and evangelism different from its own distinctives. While committed to fulfilling its purpose and distinctives in these areas, the seminary resolves to maintain openness to and appreciation for Christians in differing denominations and organizations in a loving and winsome spirit, thus contributing to the purity and the unity of the Christian community and witness.
RTS is free from denominational control. All who are associated with it, however, are individually under the jurisdiction of the various church courts of the denominations of which they are members. To ensure that the original purpose and doctrinal distinctives of the seminary are maintained, each member of the Board of Trustees, Cabinet, and faculty is required initially and annually to subscribe to the following Statement of Belief and Covenant as set forth in the seminary's by-laws:
"Believing that there is but one only, the living and true God, and that there are three persons in the Godhead, the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost; and that these three are one and the same in substance, equal in power and glory, and with solemn awareness of accountability to Him in all that we feel, think, say and do, the undersigned engages in and subscribes to this declaration:
1. All Scripture is self-attesting and, being truth, requires the human mind wholeheartedly to subject itself in all its activities to the authority of Scripture complete as the Word of God, standing written in the sixty-six books of the Holy Bible, all therein being verbally inspired by Almighty God and therefore without error.
2. Reformed theology as set forth in the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Larger and Shorter Catechisms as accepted by the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America as its standard of doctrine at its first General Assembly in 1789 is the system of doctrine taught in Scripture; and, therefore, it is to be learned, taught and proclaimed for the edification and government of Christian people, for the propagation of the faith and for the evangelization of the world by the power of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
3. And I do solemnly promise and engage not to inculcate, sanction, teach or insinuate anything that appears to me to contradict or contravene, either directly or implicitly, any element of that system of doctrine.
4. NOW THEREFORE, the undersigned in the presence of God, states and signifies that he consents, agrees, and binds himself to all of the foregoing without any reservation whatsoever, and that he further obligates himself immediately to notify in writing the trustees should a change of any kind take place in his belief and feeling not in accord with this statement. Amen."

Hi-Hat Cymbals
The quintessential piece for any cymbal set, your hi-hat defines the sound of the ensemble like no other cymbal. You don't take the selection of such a vital piece of kit lightly, and neither do we. Our broad assortment of hi-hat cymbals is sure to provide the right option for any drummer, from the basement hobbyist to the seasoned professional. A staple of styles as diverse as R&B, jazz, metal, rock and more, your hi-hat is almost as much an extension of yourself as the sticks and pedal you play it with. Dating back as far as the 1920s, the hi-hat cymbal is ubiquitous in modern music—and for good reason, with nearly a century of presence in the drummer's toolbox. Offering up a variety of sounds depending on how it's used, the hi-hat is struck closed or played with the pedal to produce a short, crisp, and concise sound. Widening the gap between the cymbals opens up a whole spectrum of potential sounds, from a sustained shimmer to a ride cymbal effect. Different pedal positions lead to different sounds with the strike of the drumstick, giving the hi-hat its characteristic range and versatility that makes it an indispensable part of your drum set. Your hi-hat cymbal is not only a tool for enriching your performance—it's also instrumental in keeping time for yourself and the band. Because it's so central to your sound, adjusting the hi-hat is crucial. For example, positioning the cymbals further apart will generate a more 'sizzling' sound, lending more of a hard-rock element to your music. It may take some experimentation to get your hi-hat perfectly adjusted, but the effort will pay off in your sound. Familiarize yourself with the abilities of the hi-hat cymbal and it will never let you down. Like most instruments, creativity pays off and the more you master this integral component of your drum set, the more rewarding it will become.

The first thing my little one does when he wakes up in the morning is go to our "Seed Shelf", a plastic yellow shelf my husband rescued from the garbage at a supermarket. It was an end-of-aisle display shelf for bug repellant. It's been sitting in a corner of the boys' room, displaying lego creations and holding stacks of Pokemon cards. Now it's been cleared off to store the random small containers and toilet paper tube pots we've gathered together from raiding recycle bins to start seeds in. The lack of a backing makes it a perfect seed starting shelf, placed in front of of one the few windows that actually lets light in our house.
This morning, my littlest peeked over the edge of a shelf , looking at the containers he helped me fill with soil and pushed seeds into with his tiny fingers . I could tell by the look on his face he was expecting to see more than just dirt. Disappointed,he said, "There's nothing growing there. I think we need to have a seed party to make them pop up!"
Seed Parties, as it turns out, involve lots of water, spraying of water, and staring at the seed pots impatiently waiting for the magic to happen.
Time is hard for a three year old. Eventually, he gets tired of staring at dirt and goes off to play but he'll come back later to check and make sure something exciting didn't happen while he wasn't standing watch. He doesn't remember much of last year's gardening experiences – it's all new again this year. To me, that's just so cool to see him experiencing things all over again, just like it's new. There's some things retained from last Spring. He remembers eating so many cucumbers and tomatoes off the vine ,straight from the garden but the seed starting business is fairly fuzzy in his memory.
This year he'll be old enough to pick up new curse words if he hears me ranting at the woodchuck, the deer ,and the slugs who think my garden is an outdoor diner, so I'll have to learn some new curse-worthy sentence enhancers to yell. Like maybe, "BY ST. BOOGAR AND ALL THE SAINTS AT THE BACKSIDE DOOR OF PURGATORY!"

Dossier Disclaimer
The information in this trip details document has been compiled with care and is provided in good faith. However it is subject to change, and does not form part of the contract between the client and the operator. The itinerary featured is correct at time of printing. It may differ slightly to the one in the brochure. Occasionally our itineraries change as we make improvements that stem from past travellers, comments and our own research. Sometimes it can be a small change like adding an extra meal along the itinerary. Sometimes the change may result in us altering the tour for the coming year. Ultimately, our goal is to provide you with the most rewarding experience. Please note that our brochure is usually released in November each year. If you have booked from the previous brochure you may find there have been some changes to the itinerary.
VERY IMPORTANT: Please ensure that you print a final copy of your Trip Details to review a couple of days prior to travel, in case there have been changes that affect your plans.
Itinerary Disclaimer
While it is our intention to adhere to the route described below, there is a certain amount of flexibility built into the itinerary and on occasion it may be necessary, or desirable to make alterations. The itinerary is brief, as we never know exactly where our journey will take us. Due to our style of travel and the regions we visit, travel can be unpredictable. The Trip Details document is a general guide to the tour and region and any mention of specific destinations or wildlife is by no means a guarantee that they will be visited or encountered. Aboard expedition trips visits to research stations depend on final permission.
Additionally, any travel times listed are approximations only and subject to vary due to local circumstances.
Itinerary Notes
Please note that our 18-to-Thirtysomethings accommodation in Europe is multi-share. For more info, see the "About Accommodation" section under "Tour Details".
Important Notes
1. It is important to note that in Europe, all guiding is based around local guides, all of whom are licensed to work only in a particular city. As such, our leaders are able to provide orientation walks which will show you the layout of each town and city as well as the location of local services such as post offices and laundromats, but are unable to legally share historical facts and figures in public places.
2. In Europe it is very rare to find elevators in train stations, hotels or other public places. We use public transport on this trip, which means you will need to carry your luggage from platform to platform, in and out of trains and buses etc. and also possibly up several flights of stairs. You will also need to be able to stow your luggage safely on trains and buses. It is therefore essential that you pack light and bring luggage which is compact and lightweight, and which you can easily transport. The carrying of your luggage remains your responsibility at all times.
3. This trip has a fast-paced itinerary with some long transport days – please check the itinerary carefully before deciding if this trip suits your needs.
4. Please note that this tour combines with other G Adventures tours. As such, the staff and some travel companions on your tour may have previously been traveling together with G Adventures, prior to Day 1 of your tour. Likewise, some staff and travel companions may be continuing together on another G Adventures tour, after your trip concludes.
Group Leader Description
This G Adventures group trip is 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. They will provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends. While not being guides in the traditional sense you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the countries visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects. We also use local guides where we think more specific knowledge will add to the enjoyment of the places we are visiting – we think it's the best of both worlds.
Group Size Notes
Max 16, avg 14
Meals Included
No meals included
Eating is a big part of traveling. G Adventures understands the importance of breakfast to start your day, we strive to include a basic breakfast wherever possible. A typical breakfast may include toast, coffee and tea, however this may vary depending on the city. Should breakfast not be included, your CEO can suggest some local options.
Travelling with G Adventures you experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available out in the world. Generally meals are not included in the trip price when there is a choice of eating options, to give you the maximum flexibility in deciding where, what and with whom to eat. It also gives you more budgeting flexibility, though generally food is cheap. Our groups tend to eat together to enable you to taste a larger variety of dishes and enjoy each other's company. There is no obligation to do this though. Your CEO will be able to suggest favourite restaurants during your trip. While trekking in remote regions etc. food is included, plentiful and made of fresh local ingredients.
For all trips please refer to the meals included and budget information for included meals and meal budgets.
Train, bus, plane, walking.
About our Transportation
On this trip we will use local buses and trains for intercity transport and a mix of metro (subway), local bus, taxis and walking for transport between hotels and bus/train stations. Please be prepared to carry your own bags short distances (20-30 mins max) between hotels and transport, as well as to lift your bags on and off buses and trains. Please note that there is often limited luggage storage space on public transport.
As we rely heavily on public transportation during this trip, we ask you to be flexible for possible changes in the modes of transport and schedules, which may necessitate small itinerary changes.
Solo Travellers
We believe solo travellers should not have to pay more to travel so our group trips are designed for shared accommodation and do not involve a single supplement. Single travellers joining group trips are paired in twin or multi-share accommodation with someone of the same sex for the duration of the trip. Some of our Independent trips are designed differently and solo travellers on these itineraries must pay the single trip price.
Hostels (15 nts, multi-share).
About Accommodation
The variety and local flavour of our accommodation is a favourite part of our European 18-to-Thirtysomethings trips. Although the properties we use are simply furnished and with few facilities, we base our choices on location, character and cleanliness. We will stay in a mixture of hostels, and private rooms in local households.
All accommodation on this tour is multi-share, on a single-sex basis. This may involve 4-6 group members sharing and even (on rare occasions) dormitory-style rooms for the whole group. The majority of accommodation will have shared bathroom facilities.
Couples: Please note that due to the types of accommodation used in Europe we are not able to take requests for double or matrimonial beds, or room you together on this tour. In multi-share hostels, couples will likely be accommodated in separate rooms.
Joining Hotel
For details of your joining hotel please refer to your tour voucher, G Account, the G Adventures App or contact your travel agent.
Joining Instructions

Upon arrival to the city on day 1 (or earlier if you have booked pre-accommodation with us), please make your way to the joining hotel. Note that check-in time will be in the afternoon. Once you arrive at the hotel, look for a note or bulletin board in the reception with a note from your CEO. This note will give the details of your Welcome Meeting on day 1 (usually between 5pm and 7pm), where you will get a chance to meet your CEO and other travellers, as well as learn more about how the tour will run. If you don't see a note, please ask reception for details!
If you are arriving later and will miss the Welcome Meeting, your CEO will leave a note at reception for you with any information you may need, and with morning instructions for the next day.

Spending Money
Every traveller is different and therefore spending money requirements will vary. Some travellers may drink more than others while other travellers like to purchase more souvenirs than most. Please consider your own spending habits when it comes to allowing for drinks, shopping and tipping. Please also remember the following specific recommendations when planning your trip.
Money Exchange
Credit cards and debit cards are very useful for cash advances but you must remember to bring your PIN number (be aware that many ATM machines only accept 4-digit PINs). Both Cirrus and Plus system cards are the most widely accepted debit cards. Visa cards are the most widely accepted credit cards. While ATMs are commonly available, there are no guarantees that your credit or debit cards will actually work – Check with your bank. You should be aware when purchasing products or services on a credit card, that a fee usually applies.
Do not rely on credit or debit cards as your only source of money. A combination of Euros, traveller's cheques and cards is best. Avoid relying on traveller's cheques alone as these are less and less readily cashed as clients use them very little.
Always take more rather than less, as you don't want to spoil the trip by constantly feeling short of funds.
Emergency Fund
Please also make sure you have access to at least an additional USD $200 (or equivalent) as an 'emergency' fund, to be used when circumstances outside our control (ex. a natural disaster) require a change to our planned route. This is a rare occurrence!
It is customary in Europe to leave a small tip for service providers, such as waiters, if you are pleased with the service (€1-2).
Tipping is an expected – though not compulsory – component of your tour program, and an expression of satisfaction with the persons who have assisted you on your tour. Although it may not be customary to you, it is of considerable significance to the people who will take care of you during your travels. There are several times during the trip where there is opportunity to tip the local guides. You may do this individually, or your CEO will offer to collect the money and tip as a group. Recommendations for tipping local guides would range from €3-5 per day, depending on the quality and length of the service; ask your CEO for specific recommendations based on the circumstances and culture.
Also at the end of each trip if you felt your G Adventures CEO did an outstanding job, tipping is appreciated. The amount is entirely a personal preference, however as a guideline €30-40 per person, per week can be used.

Please note inoculations may be required for the country visited. It is your responsibility to consult with your travel doctor for up to date medical travel information well before departure.
You should consult your doctor for up-to-date medical travel information well before departure. We recommend that you carry a First Aid kit and hand sanitizers / antibacterial wipes as well as any personal medical requirements. Please be aware that quite often we are in remote areas and away from medical facilities, and for legal reasons our leaders are prohibited from administering any type of drug including headache tablets, antibiotics, etc. When selecting your trip please carefully read the brochure and itinerary and assess your ability to cope with our style of travel. Please refer to the Physical and Culture Shock ratings in this dossier for trip specific information. For travellers over 70 years a completed Medical Form is required. G Adventures reserves the right to exclude any traveller from all or part of a trip without refund if in the reasonable opinion of our CEO they are unable to complete the itinerary without undue risk to themselves and/or the rest of the group.
Safety and Security
Many national governments provide a regularly updated advice service on safety issues involved with international travel. We recommend that you check your government's advice for their latest travel information before departure. We strongly recommend the use of a neck wallet or money belt while travelling, for the safe keeping of your passport, air tickets, travellers' cheques, cash and other valuable items. Leave your valuable jewelery at home – you won't need it while travelling. Many of the hotels we use have safety deposit boxes, which is the most secure way of storing your valuables. A lock is recommended for securing your luggage. When travelling on a group trip, please note that your group leader has the authority to amend or cancel any part of the trip itinerary if it deemed necessary, due to safety concerns. Your Chief Experience Officer (CEO) will accompany you on all included activities. During your trip you will have some free time to pursue your own interests, relax and take it easy and explore at your leisure. While your CEO will assist you with options available in a given location, please note that any optional activities you undertake are not part of your itinerary, and we offer no representations about the safety of the activity or the standard of the operators running them. Please use your own good judgement when selecting an activity in your free time. Although the cities visited on tour are generally safe during the day, there can be risks to wandering throughout any major city at night. It is our recommendation to stay in small groups and to take taxis to and from restaurants, or during night time excursions.
Water based activities have an element of danger and excitement built into them. We recommend only participating in water based activities when accompanied by a guide(s). We make every reasonable effort to ensure the fun and adventurous element of any water based activities (in countries with varying degrees of operating standards), have a balanced approach to safety. It is our policy not to allow our CEOs to make arrangements on your behalf for water based activities that are not accompanied by guide(s).
Swimming, including snorkeling, is always at your own risk. Read more about travel safety for ways to further enhance your personal safety while traveling.
A Couple of Rules
Illegal drugs will not be tolerated on any trips. Possessing or using drugs not only contravenes the laws of the land but also puts the rest of the group at risk. Smoking marijuana and opium is a part of local culture in some parts of the world but is not acceptable for our travellers. Our philosophy of travel is one of respect towards everyone we encounter, and in particular the local people who make the world the special place it is. The exploitation of prostitutes is completely contrary to this philosophy. Our group leader has the right to expel any member of the group if drugs are found in their possession or if they use prostitutes.
Travel Insurance
Travel insurance is compulsory in order to participate on any of our trips. When travelling on a group trip, you will not be permitted to join the group until evidence of travel insurance has been sighted by your leader, who will take note of your insurance details. When selecting a travel insurance policy we require that at a minimum you are covered for medical expenses including emergency evacuation and repatriation. A minimum coverage of USD200,000 is required. G Adventures can provide you with the appropriate coverage. We strongly recommend that the policy also covers personal liability, cancellation, curtailment and loss of luggage and personal effects. Some tours include adventure activities that require extra coverage (e.g. crampon use); please review your itinerary and make sure that you are covered for all included activities. If you have credit card insurance we require proof of purchase of the trip (a receipt of credit card statement) with a credit card in your name. Contact your bank for details of their participating insurer, the level of coverage and emergency contact telephone number.

Local Dress
In Italy, shoulders should be covered while visiting churches and cathedrals. Ask your CEO for more specific advice.
After your travels, we want to hear from you!

Dodane manufactory was founded in 1857 and rapidly became known in the world of watchmaking for its research ethos and for the passionate interest of its ancestors in aviation.
In 2005, the fifth generation of the Dodane's decided to re-issue the TYPE 21 in order to restore the brand DODANE 1857 and perpetuate the family's know-how. Now, in 2012, they have released the Type 23, of which more below.
The accuracy of Dodane timepieces has been borne out by the results of exhaustive testing from 2006 to 2011. In fact, in 2006, 2008 and 2010, Dodane achieved the first position in tests conducted by the National Astronomical Observatory of Measuring Time of Besançon (France). In the other years, the brand ranked among the top five brands.
Of 200 total tests, of which only 147 watches finished in the First Category of Chronometry since 2006, Dodane ranks first with 67 watches that have received this prestigious distinction.
A chronograph can be designated an "Observatory Chronometer" if it meets the strict standards of accuracy established by carrying over 15 consecutive days of testing that include testing in 5 positions and at different temperature settings.
Dodane's excellent quality stems from years of precise production for the French Air Force where the tolerance for failure is zero. Whether used by military or civilian pilots, they are acknowledged by professionals to be irreplaceable instruments, as a result of their extreme reliability.
Dodane Type 23
Now we've established the credentials of the watch brand, let's look at the most recent Pilot's watch to come from the House of Dodane, the Dodane Type 23. France's SIRPA AIR commissioned Dodane to make the Type 23. Previously they commissioned the Type 20/21 in the 1950s. In both cases performance was considered of prime importance. Dodane continues to exceed military expectations in quality and performance. Like its predecessor, Type 23 is a clean, accomplished aviation watch used to aid in pilot's navigation. There is nothing showy or ostentatious about any Dodane aviation watch.
The brushed stainless steel 42.5 mm case is understated but also sophisticated. The watch is suitable for far more occasions than piloting a plane, it won't look out of place with formal wear or on smart casual occasions. The Type 23 successfully straddles the dividing line between a consumer/civilian oriented model, and is available in both a flyback and a non-flyback chronograph.
The watch runs on an automatic mechanical chronograph movement with flyback module produced by Dubois Depraz, who also supply to the likes of Audmars Piguet, Breitling, and Jaeger-leCoultre and Omega, so you can hardly complain about the company you are keeping.
The Type 23 features three chronographs, located at the three o'clock, six o'clock, and nine o'clock positions. Also featured on the dial is a tachymeter, and the unidirectional bezel (available in 3 options) completes the sums of minutes and hours by acting as a countdown timer.
Mounted on a beefy black leather strap, the watch retails at a finely judged $4,750.00

|Easton Express, 15APR1964, pg 38
Because we all have collateral information surrounding those obituaries and news articles we copy for our records. Let's share them and hope that they benefit someone researching their genealogy.
A short one for tonight, but a unique name.
"Golden Little
Golden Little, 53, of 102 Center St., Clinton, died this morning in the Hunterdon Medical Center.
Funeral arrangements are incomplete."
Not a lot of information in this brief announcement, but a rather unusual name so hopefully the information would be able to help someone search a few days forward for the full obituary or burial announcement or narrow down a death certificate request.
From a quick Ancestry search of "Golden Little" in New Jersey, I came up with a match in Clinton, New Jersey. In the 1930 census Golden is living with his parents, Howard and Jennie, and his sister, Gladys.
According to FindAGrave (he has a memorial there) he is buried in Locust Grove Cemetery.

Champagne Henriot
In the 16th century , the Henriot family settled in Champagne.
In 1794, Nicolas Simon Henriot, from a bourgeois local family who had been in the cloth business since the 16th century, married Apolline Godinot, niece of the Abbe Godinot, an eminent scholar whose work had contributed to advances in viticulture.
This marriage sealed a fruitful family alliance which was to give birth to champagne Henriot.
The House of Henriot was officially founded by Apolline Henriot in 1808, a widow of Nicolas Simon Henriot. She undertook the task of making available the very private Champagne Henriot in her father's vineyard in Bouzy and sold her wines under the name "Veuve Henriot Aine".
It was in 1808, under Appoline Henriot, that Champagne Henriot was officially founded. She was the niece of the very famous Abbe Godinot, an erudite man who contributed to improvements in viticulture and the making of the Champagne wine.
Appoline, an enterprising woman of great character, sold her wines both in France and abroad.
The champagne wines became a huge success with royalty and it was only natural that Champagne Henriot became the favourite firstly at the Dutch court, then in Austria and Hungary with the Hapsburgs.
She passed on her savoir-faire to her grandson, Ernest and a family tradition was born.
The House cultivates a very particular style, valuing time, patience, and the pursuit of perfection. It chooses the best wines from the best "crus", demanding the most careful work from the vineyard and cellar workers.
The family's knowledge of the terroirs and blending skill makes the wines of Champagne Henriot recognizable among all others. Champagne Henriot is committed to offering wines with a strong personality centred around the family's philosophy of wine making.

Hitch necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 60 diseños de 17 diseñadores freelance.
We're a traditional IT development contracting consultancy, who are looking to push an internal used system for tracking contractor needs to a wider audience.
The system tracks the majority of 'paperwork' a contractor or freelancer requires (be they remote based, or client-site based). The core areas are : time tracking, task tracking, expense, work-logs, time-sheets, invoices, end-client access, filesharing, reference tracking and lead tracking.
The system shares some similarities with 37Signals Basecamp, but with a greater focus on individual contactor/freelancer needs, rather than collaboration.
Our envisioned audience (especially during the early days) is expected to be IT contractors - with a view to pushing the system to other freelancers down the road. As a result of this initial audience we can make a number of assumptions about the level of tech-savviness of our users.
As with so many development-led agencies we lack solid graphics skills. We need to develop a logo which is simple, appealing and easily recognised.
The logo will feature prominently on the following sites : 'Coming Soon' page, principal sales gateway (likely to be a word-press site) and within the App it's self.
The logo should not be too overpowering, as we are currently investigating the possibility of co-branding and partnership with a number of related industry companies (ie. accountants, employment agencies etc).
The key elements to the system is to remove the irksome of dealing with different parts of the admin of being a freelancer - whilst still actually finding time to perform the task you've been hired for.
This contest is first of several - so the logo contest can be considered a completely blank slate with no other branding guidelines to fit within.
There is a high likelihood of subsequent work in regards to this project (single page site for coming soon, and probably the full word-press theme for actual site) - depending on designer interest, there is a possibility of direct work after this contest.
Feel free to request any further clarification during the contest.
