How to Remove OS X Mountain Lion (or Any Other Mac OS X Boot Partition)
For those dual booting between OS X Mountain Lion and OS X Lion, or any other two versions of OS X for that matter, there comes a time when you inevitably want to remove one of the operating systems. For this walkthrough we'll assume the boot partition you want to delete is one of the developer previews of OS X Mountain Lion but it could be any other OS X boot volume as well.
It would be a wise idea to backup your Mac before proceeding, you will be editing the partition map of the drive and there is always a possibility something could go wrong.
From OS X Lion:
- Open Disk Utility and select the primary hard drive
- Click on "Partition"
- Select the "Mountain Lion" partition and click the [-] button to delete the partition
- Confirm the partition removal and quit Disk Utility
- Reboot Mac OS X and hold down the Option key during boot, select "Recovery" from the boot menu
- Open Disk Utility and select the hard drive, again selecting the "Partition" tab
- Click and drag the partition resizer all the way to the bottom, then click "Apply" and "Partition" to confirm resizing (*see below if you get a "Partition Failed" error)
- Reboot Mac OS X as usual
* If you encounter a "Partition Failed" error resolve it by running fsck from single user mode:
- Hold Command+S at startup and type "fsck -fy"
- Reboot OS X as usual, then launch Disk Utility to resize the partition
When Mac OS X reboots the partition space that used to be allocated to OS X Mountain Lion will now be allocated back to the primary operating system, OS X Lion.

About the Film
In the mid-twentieth century, a landmark Supreme Court case proves the Constitution's resilience. In Gideon v. Wainwright, one man who thinks he was denied a basic right seeks the help of the Supreme Court. Clarence Earl Gideon was sitting in prison after having been found guilty of stealing pocket change and some liquor from a pool hall where he was known as one of the regulars. It was bad enough that he claimed he was innocent; but he also claimed that his Constitutional rights had been violated by the very court that tried and convicted him.
View the trailer:
It was Gideon's belief – his other conviction, if you will – that the Constitution guaranteed him the right to a lawyer to defend him in court but the judge who presided over his trial refused to appoint counsel to assist him. As it happened, until that time, the courts agreed that Gideon was wrong.
As judges interpreted the Constitution until 1963, not every defendant throughout the 50 states could claim such a right. But lightning comes from the ground up. And when a yellow piece of prison stationary with a poor man's scribblings landed in the mailroom of the highest court in the land, arguing that he should be heard, there was enough change in the air to suggest that the time for a universal right to counsel had come.

1% from the 1%
Posted 10 years ago on Sept. 2, 2013, 4:14 p.m. EST by OccupyWallSt
Great Depression,
robin hood tax
Don't believe this outrageous crap about the rich paying 37% of the taxes in America and the poor paying none. It's a trick. A spin on statistics to make it seem as if the rich are overtaxed. They aren't. But they damn well should be. We're in this mess because of them.
Be careful when you hear or read anything regarding the PERCENTAGE of OVERALL FEDERAL INCOME taxes paid by any particular group. It's a terribly misleading statistic. The rich pay a larger PERCENTAGE of OVERALL FEDERAL INCOME taxes now than 10 years ago because they have a larger PERCENTAGE of OVERALL INCOME in the United States now, than 10 years ago. That statistic regarding 37% of Federal Income Taxes is one of the most misleading in the history of propaganda.
When you account for all FEDERAL, STATE, and LOCAL taxes and fees, the middle class actually pay about the same rate (as a percentage of income) as the rich. The difference is within 5 percent. It shouldn't be that way. The rich should pay a MUCH higher rate simply because they are horribly over-paid. We aren't. They own 43% of all financial wealth in America. We share the rest. But it gets even more disgusting. The devil is in the details.
Corporate profits have been partially subsidized with federal, state, and local revenue. This benefit has been hoarded at the top. Business managers make up the largest group of one percent club pigs (followed by attorneys, doctors, and celebrities). Plus 40% of the market is owned by the top 1%. Their record territory dividends have been partially subsidized by federal, state, and local revenue. The benefits have not been shared proportionally with the little guy. The lopsided division of growth across quintiles proves it.
The income for richest one percent has grown more than 10 times faster than the middle percentile over the last 30 years. This is true EVEN AFTER taxes. When you account for inflation and the actual cost of living (tied to record high profits in energy, finance, and healthcare), the middle class have actually lost relative buying power while the top 1% have drastically increased their income and bottom line wealth.
In 1976 (when their tax rates were much higher), the top one percent reaped 9 percent of all private income and held less than 20 percent of all private wealth in America. Now, they reap 21 percent of all private income and hold 40 percent of all private wealth. Meanwhile, the lower majority (those who are still employed) are working more hours and have less to show for it.
Just to make it crystal clear: The rich do not pay 37% of all taxes. Not even close. They pay roughly 37% of all FEDERAL INCOME TAXES which account for less than 1/2 of total government revenue. The rest is drawn from a number of sources and across income levels. The rich harp on this 'Federal Income Tax' statistic because it leads people to believe that they pay 37% of ALL taxes. They don't. Not even close. Their share as a group represents about their share of income. The difference is within 5 percent. In fact, the 2nd percentile actually pays a slightly higher rate on average than the top percentile.
The richest 500 Americans hold more personal wealth than the lower 150 million Americans combined. These richest 500 Americans pay an effective rate of under 15%.
If the rich want to pay a lower share of the taxes in America, then they should get themselves a lower share of the income in America. In other words, don't be so rich to begin with. After all, this obscene concentration of wealth actually CAUSES economic instability. It CAUSES poverty. It will CAUSE the next Great Depression.
No more excuses.
There is a simple fix. It is called the Robin Hood Tax. Simply put, the big idea behind the Robin Hood Tax is to generate hundreds of billions of dollars. That money could provide funding for jobs to kickstart the economy and get all of us back on our feet. It could help save the social safety net both here, and internationally. And it will come from fairer taxation of the financial sector.
1% from the 1%?
Why not? Let's dream big for each other, let's do it on Wall Street on September 17th.

Microfinance is the practice of providing small loans to poor entrepreneurs who are typically trying to start, sustain or expand a small or micro-business. In the Palestinian Territories more than 50% of the population lives below the poverty line. Despite a highly educated and entrepreneurial labor force, where 90% of businesses are micro-enterprises, it is estimated that less than 20% of Palestinians are eligible to secure traditional forms of credit.
The existing reality deprives the majority of Palestinians the right to meet their most everyday needs, let alone the right to build sustainable and empowering households and communities. We believe this sort of poverty and economic inequality inhibits the viability of sustainable peace.We believe each loan made pays both material and symbolic dividends, dividends that are central to promoting opportunity, stability, and peace in a place that has seen very little of all three.

Double Circle Boomerang Reversible Laminate Necklace
Double Circle Boomerang Reversible Laminate Necklace

*Also available - Turquoise/Brown and Orange/Brown*
- Reversible! Can be worn on either side
- Newly manufactured boomerang laminate
- Wood is either mahogany or walnut
- Measures 2 3/8" from top of tube bail to bottom of pendant x 1" wide
- Comes on a 18" flat cable chain with spring ring clasp that can be hooked at any length to accommodate various necklines
- Handmade (with heaps of love!) in my studio in NY.
- Due to its handcrafted nature, your piece may vary every so slightly from what is shown, but will be just as beautiful. Pinky swear!
The Laminates collection is an incredibly unique ode to countertops of the mid century. This boomerang pattern comes in a vast array of deliciously kitschy colorful combinations. I have chosen 3 color schemes for the current collection, and plan on rotating and changing out the various patterns... so this is a fun way to 'collect' pieces in different color ways.
The laminate and wood (either mahogany or walnut) is hand cut with a jeweler's saw and adhered together with contact cement. The pieces are filed and sanded until smooth. Once the contact cement sets, several layers of lacquer are applied to the wood, and all the holes for the findings are drilled and set into the wood with epoxy.
Even though the laminate/wood is sealed, please take special care to avoid splashing excessive water or harsh chemicals onto your piece. And if you plan on showering, going deep sea diving, surfing, swimming with the dolphins and sharks, or helping the pool boy out with the vacuuming, please be sure to remove your necklace.

A charity concert, headlined by The Chainsmokers, is prompting New York authorities to investigate after video showed an audience crowding closely in spite of the state's coronavirus rules.
Organizers expected some 2,000 attendees for the Safe & Sound fundraiser held Saturday in the town of Southampton, N.Y. Billed as a "drive-in music experience in the famous summer hot spot," the fundraiser featured a performance by the chart-topping duo, with opening sets by D.J. D-Sol — the stage name of Goldman Sachs executive David Solomon — and town supervisor Jay Schneiderman.
Ticket prices were set as high as $25,000, according to Billboard, with proceeds going to several charities.
The organizer In The Know Experiences promised the first in a series of concerts to "safely bring people together" in a time when coronavirus restrictions have halted most live music performances.
"This will be a Safe & Controlled environment setting the bar for all events to come," the company said in paperwork for the event.
A seconds-long clip, however, featured attendees acting to the contrary.
Video recorded from the concert's stage showed a sizable portion of the crowd dancing close together. That clip quickly drew rebukes, including from New York state authorities.
On Monday, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, retweeted the video promising an investigation by state's health department. A day later, in a conference call with reporters, Cuomo called the event a "gross violation" of public health rules and "common sense" and "grossly disrespectful" to New Yorkers.
"That was out of control and all the rules were being violated, so that has civil fines and the potential for criminal liability, so we're taking that very seriously," Cuomo said during the call.
New York's health commissioner, Howard Zucker, also sent a letter to Schneiderman on Monday, noting restrictions on large groups in place since March and questioning how the large concert came to be approved by Southampton officials.
"I am at a loss as to how the Town of Southampton could have issued a permit for such an event, how they believed it was legal and not an obvious public health threat," Zucker wrote.
A spokesperson told NPR the town is drafting a response to Zucker's letter.
In The Know Experiences has not replied to an NPR request for comment. Paperwork submitted for the event said guests were given a personal area to remain in except when using the bathroom. The company also said it planned to distribute personal protective equipment.
Reporting by Buzzfeed News further specifies measures the organizers said they undertook. In an email to the outlet, the organizers said they had installed steel barricades and dividers to separate attendees and checked guest temperatures as well.

Standard Treatment vs. Clinical Trials
Before selecting your treatment plan, you should first understand the difference between standard treatment and clinical trials.
- Breast cancer standard treatments are methods that experts agree are appropriate, accepted, and widely used. These standard procedures have proven useful in fighting breast cancer in the past.
- A breast cancer clinical trial, on the other hand, is an approved research study that some doctors believe has a strong potential to improve standard treatments. When clinical trials demonstrate better results than the standard, that new treatment becomes the standard. Remember, all our current standards were clinical trials at one time.
If a breast cancer clinical trial is an option for you, your doctor will explain the possible trade-offs with the trial treatment versus standard treatment. Together with your medical team, you will need to decide what treatment method is the best for you and your health.
Breast Cancer Standard Treatments By Stage
Your treatment options depend on the stage of your disease and these factors:
- The size of the tumor in relation to the size of your breast
- The results of specific pathology tests (hormone receptors, HER2 receptors, grade of the cells, proliferation rate of the cells)
- Whether you have gone through menopause
- Your general health
- Your age
- Your family history or other risk factors associated with a predisposition for developing breast or ovarian cancer
Below are brief descriptions of common treatments for each stage. Other treatments may be appropriate for some women. Research studies (clinical trials) can be an option at all stages of breast cancer.
Stage 0 (DCIS)
Most women with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), also known as non-invasive breast cancer, have breast-conserving surgery, also known as lumpectomy followed by radiation therapy. For some women over the age of 70 who have an early diagnosed breast cancer and the tumor is hormone receptor positive, they may be a candidate to forego radiation therapy. Though Stage 0 breast cancer is the very earliest that breast cancer can be diagnosed, there are situations in which there is a lot of DCIS within the breast tissue. In some situations, it may be necessary to have a mastectomy performed. Some women also may choose to have a mastectomy. Women with DCIS may receive Tamoxifen to reduce the risk of developing invasive breast cancer in the future.
Stages 1, 2, 3A, and Some 3C
Women with Stage 1, Stage 2, Stage 3A, or operable Stage 3C breast cancer may have a combination of treatments. (Operable means the cancer can be treated with surgery.)
Some may have breast-conserving surgery followed by radiation therapy to the breast. This choice is common for women with Stage I or II breast cancer. Some may decide to have a mastectomy. With either approach, women (especially those with Stage II or IIIA breast cancer) often have lymph nodes under the arm removed.
Whether or not radiation therapy is used after mastectomy depends on the extent of the cancer. If cancer cells are found in 1 to 3 lymph nodes under the arm or if the tumor in the breast is large, the doctor sometimes suggests radiation therapy after mastectomy. If cancer cells are found in more than 3 lymph nodes under the arm and/or the tumor was very close to the chest wall, the doctor usually will suggest radiation therapy after mastectomy.
The choice between breast-conserving surgery (followed by radiation therapy) and mastectomy depends on many factors:
- The size of the tumor in relationship to the size of the breast
- The location of the tumor within the breast
- Whether multiple tumors are found within the breast, known as multicentric (which requires mastectomy)
- Whether the patient carries a breast cancer gene
- Certain features of the cancer itself
- How the woman feels about surgery changing her breast appearance
- How the woman feels about radiation therapy
- The woman's ability to travel to a radiation treatment center
- The patient's age
- The patient's health conditions
It is important to note that some women decide to do bilateral mastectomies for peace of mind. Although women without a known genetic cause for their breast cancer have a relatively low rate of developing breast cancer in the opposite healthy breast, still there is a trend currently for women to opt for bilateral mastectomies with immediate reconstruction.
Breast reconstruction is a covered benefit by health insurance companies and is required to be covered by a federal law passed in 1998 for women diagnosed with breast cancer. It is not considered cosmetic surgery but instead part of a woman's treatment to restore her silhouette and psychological well being.
Some women have chemotherapy before surgery. This is called neoadjuvant therapy (treatment before the main treatment). Chemotherapy before surgery may shrink a large tumor so that breast-sparing surgery is possible. Women with large Stage II or IIIA breast tumors often are advised to choose this treatment.
After surgery, many women receive adjuvant therapy. Adjuvant therapy is treatment given after the main treatment to lower the chance of breast cancer returning. Radiation treatment is local therapy that can kill any remaining cancer cells in and near the breast. Women may also have hormone therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or a combination. These systemic therapies can destroy cancer cells that remain anywhere in the body. They can prevent or delay the cancer from coming back in the breast or elsewhere.
Stage 3B and Some Stage 3C
Women with Stage 3B (including inflammatory breast cancer) or inoperable Stage 3C breast cancer have chemotherapy first and then may be offered other treatments. (Inoperable means the cancer can't be treated with surgery without first shrinking the tumor.) They may also have targeted therapy.
If the chemotherapy or targeted therapy shrinks the tumor, then surgery may be possible:
- Mastectomy: The surgeon removes the breast. In most cases, the lymph nodes under the arm are removed, known as an axillary node dissection. After a mastectomy, a woman may receive radiation therapy to the chest and underarm area.
- Breast-conserving surgery: In rare cases, the surgeon removes the cancer but not the breast. The lymph nodes under the arm are usually removed. After surgery, a woman may receive radiation therapy to the breast and underarm area. This may be possible for someone with stage III breast cancer if they received neoadjuvant chemotherapy and the tumor was successfully shrunk to be smaller as a result. Women with inflammatory breast cancer are never a candidate for breast conserving surgery, even though chemotherapy is given first. This is because the breast cancer began within the underlying skin of the breast; therefore, all of that skin must be surgically removed.
After surgery, the doctor will likely recommend chemotherapy, targeted therapy, hormone therapy, or a combination. This therapy may help prevent the disease from coming back in the breast or elsewhere.
Stage 4 and Recurrent
Women with Stage 4 breast cancer will be treated based on where the cancer returned. If the cancer returned in the chest area or within the breast tissue that remained after surgery, the doctor may suggest surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, or a combination.
Women with Stage 4 breast cancer or recurrent cancer that has spread to the bones, liver, or other areas usually have hormone therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or a combination. Radiation therapy may be used to control tumors in certain parts of the body. These treatments are not likely to cure the disease, but they may help a woman live longer.
Many women need supportive care along with anti-cancer treatments. Anti-cancer treatments are given to slow the progress of the disease, and whenever possible to control the cancer, treating it as a chronic illness. Supportive care helps manage pain, other symptoms of cancer, or the side effects of treatment (such as nausea). This care can help a woman feel better physically and emotionally. Supportive care does not aim to extend life. Some women with advanced cancer decide to have only supportive care. Today more and more research is taking place regarding Stage 4 breast cancer, which is increasing the treatment options for patients diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. It is not unusual, particularly for women whose tumors are estrogen receptor positive, to live a decade or more while maintaining quality of life.

Let's be clear, your persecutors will typically give you an opportunity to recant of your strongly held beliefs and accept their false religion or heretical beliefs.

Background Slider & Background Videos
In the release of version 4, we have introduced not only the Video Background capabilities, but a new and improved Background Slider script using the ever popular Supersized.
With previous versions of KingSize WordPress, we had a Theme Option where you would upload your Backgrounds and sort them there. In the release of version 4, we have created a new post-type that is specific to the Slider. It is here you will now create, manage and organize your slider images and jammed with a lot of new options and features for your usage.
First and most importantly though, allow us to clarify a detail for those of you who are past buyers updating from previous versions to version 4.
Fear not, your background images will not be lost from the previous versions. Once you have installed your updated version of KingSize WordPress v4, go to your "Theme Options" and "SAVE" the settings. by doing this, it will carry over your original settings defined, and import your slider items into the newly created Slider post-type automatically.
Let's take a moment and explain a little about both types of Backgrounds, Slider vs. Videos and how you will be using them.
Slider / Background Theme Options
Inside your Dashboard, go to "Appearance > KingSize Options" and you will locate a tab titled "Home Settings". It is here you will define your homepage slider / video options used.
Background Type for Homepage: Here you will define whether or not your homepage will use the "Image Slider" or "Video".
If you select the "Video" option as your homepage, scroll down to the bottom of this page and you'll see the corresponding Video Options which we'll explain a little more about shortly.
Assign Homepage Slider Category: With the release of version 4, we have included the ability to use Sliders on multiple pages. So to have a specific slider for your homepage, you will want to create a category for it (ie., Homepage). Beside each Category you create (inside the Slider post-type) you will see an ID number. This is what you'd place inside this area as well corresponding areas throughout the website when using the unique slider categories on pages and posts.
Assign Number of Slider Items: By default if left empty it will display all slider items in the ID you have specified. However if you want to only display 5 of those slider images, then you would define that number here.
Slider Intervals: Here you can define (in milliseconds) how fast the images change.
Slider Transitions: Here you can define (in milliseconds) the effect time on changes.
Slider Transition Types: As a default, the slider will use "Fade" but you have the option to choose from the others in this drop-down selection.
Slider Order: Define the order in which the slider items are displayed.
Slider Titles & Descriptions: Choose to enable or disable these from showing.
Slide Controls: Choose to enable or disable these from showing.
Slide Controls Positions: Here there are two options, either "Above" or "Below" the Title and Descriptions. When using longer descriptions / text on your slide items, you will want these controls to be displayed below. If you're using 1 to a maximum of 2 lines of text, then they will appear fine with being placed above. Otherwise, more than 2 lines we would recommend you use the "Below" placement for the best presentation on your website.
Homepage Video Options
In order for videos to work on your homepage, you need to use the option "Background Type for Homepage" and assign it the Video selection.
Using either "YouTube, Vimeo or MP4" please insert your video URL.
Next select whether or not you want it to "Automatically Play", "Repeat Video Continuously" and/or show the control bar (for Pause / Play, Next / Previous).
Now make sure to "SAVE" your settings once you have completed the setup.

Ice Energy A Santa Barbara-based company called Ice Energy has partnered with NRG Energy to deliver 1,800 "ice batteries" to commercial and industrial buildings served by electric utility Southern California Edison (SCE). The units are expected to reduce air conditioning bills by up to 40 percent and eliminate 200,000 tons of CO 2 over the next 20 years. Ice Energy has been building ice-based cooling systems since the early 2000s. Much like pumped storage or compressed air "batteries," Ice Energy essentially stores electricity by drawing power from the grid at non-peak times to freeze water in a special container. Then at peak times, when the cost of electricity is high and grid operators are struggling to keep up with demand, Ice Energy's systems kick in and use that block of ice to cool the space that the air conditioning unit normally serves.

Who we are
Kildare Village is the data controller of any personal information processed through Kildare Village App.

What personal data do we collect about you?

The virtual concierge can respond to simple queries directly and forwards more complex queries you submit to our customer services team to respond to. The virtual concierge is run using Google Dialogflow (see Who we share your personal data withbelow), and any personal data you submit through the virtual concierge is processed in accordance with our Village Privacy Notice Privilege Privacy Notice; and
- we gather through your use of the App and your personal device onto which it is downloaded, including:
- your location data so that you can use the in-village map and (where we have consent from you to do so) we may send you marketing communications when you are in the proximity of a village

- your device type and operating system, in order to monitor and improve the functionality of our App; and
- to authenticate your use of the App through the use of authentication tokens.

We may combine this personal data with other personal data we hold about you including through the different channels you use to interact with us (for example, our website or our App), in particular, where you link your Privilege account to our App. In addition, we may combine all the personal data we hold about you with personal data about you held by our selected partners and/or retail outlets where you have agreed that they can share your personal data with third parties, according to their own privacy policies and your personal choices. We do this to form a clearer picture about the kinds of offers in which you might be interested.
If you download the App on a device running an Android operating system, the App will also ask for consent to access to your photographs, call records and other media stored on your device. This is solely to enable certain features of the App to function (such as allowing you to receive calls whilst using the App and by cacheing images used in the App to ensure the App runs smoothly), and your photographs, call records and other media will not leave your device and are not otherwise used by us.
How we use your personal data

- provide you with our virtual concierge, a chatbot, to answer your queries relating to a Village and our services (in accordance with our Privilege Privacy Notice).

- to ensure that the information we hold is kept accurate and up to date;
- (if we have your consent, where this is required by law) in order that we may contact you, from time to time, for the purpose of conducting surveys or focus groups; and
- to notify you about changes to our services.
How long we keep your personal data for
We will keep your personal data for:
- as long as you continue to have our App downloaded;
- as long as necessary for us to meet the purposes described in this notice, in accordance with applicable data protection legislation;
- if you have linked a Privilege account to the App, in accordance with our Privilege Privacy Notice; and
- where you use our virtual concierge, in accordance with our Village Privacy Notice, Privilege Privacy Notice.
Who we share your personal data with
If you've linked your Privilege account to the App, then we share your personal data with other Villages as set out in the Privilege Privacy Notice.
For the purposes set out above, we may also provide your personal data to our suppliers and processors who perform certain business services for us. We share your personal data with third parties who:
- host and maintain our App; and
- if you have given your consent for us to do so, use your location to deliver specific electronic messaging to you (including push notifications on your device).
In some cases the personal data we collect from you may also be processed outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and such destinations may not have laws which protect your personal data to the same extent as in the EEA. We have obligations to ensure that your personal data processed by us or by our suppliers and partners operating outside the EEA is treated securely and is protected against unauthorised access, loss or destruction, unlawful processing and any processing which is inconsistent with the purposes set out in this Notice.
You can click here for a list of the suppliers and processors we currently use, and other parties to whom we disclose your personal data. The link also has information about how these parties use your personal data, any processing they perform outside the EEA, and the safeguards that are used to protect your personal data if this happens. This information may be updated from time to time. Please ask us if you would like more information about the safeguards that are used to protect your personal data when it is processed outside the EEA (see Contacting Usbelow).
In addition, we may disclose your personal data:
- if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to protect the rights, property or safety of our business, our customers or others. This includes, in specific cases, exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection; and
- to successors in title or replacement operators of all or part of our respective businesses.While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of information that you submit online, and you do so at your own risk. We urge you to keep any usernames, passwords or any other log-in details in a safe place.
The legal basis for us using your personal data
- In certain circumstances, we process your personal data after obtaining your consent to do so for the purposes of:
- sending you marketing communications; and
- using your location to deliver specific messaging and content to you (including push notifications).
- In most cases, it is in our legitimate interests to collect and use the personal data referred to above (see What personal data do we collect about you? above) so that we can:
- provide you with a service that is as useful, enjoyable and beneficial to you as possible, including by personalising our contact with you, making sure we tell you about all the offers that relate specifically to your preferred Village, tailoring treats to your specific preferences, and contacting you using your preferred method of communication;
- better understand our customer base so that we can improve our services and marketing activities (which could also benefit you); and
- to maintain and improve our App.
When we rely on our legitimate interests in order to collect and use your personal data, we must consider whether those legitimate interests are overridden by your interests or your fundamental rights and freedoms. We may continue only if we decide that your interests, rights and freedoms do not override our legitimate interests.
We have considered these matters, and where we think there is a risk that one of your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms may be affected we will not use your personal data unless there is another legal basis for us to do so (either that it is necessary for us to perform our contract with you, or on the basis of your consent). For example, we believe that collecting your location data may be intrusive, and so we will only do so with your consent.
What happens if you do not provide us with the personal data we request or ask that we stop processing your personal data?
If you no longer wish to use our App, you may uninstall it at any time. You may also ask that we stop using your personal data, including information that we may retain after you have uninstalled the App (see Your Rights above).
How we contact you
Our App works best when we are free to communicate with you to share details of treats, rewards and other offers you might be interested in.
In order to provide you with this information we may, if we have your consent, contact you by push notification and, in some circumstances, outside of our App (including by e-mail using such contact details as you provide to us from time to time).
If you no longer wish to receive such or certain communications, you can let us know by contacting us using one of the email addresses here. You may also update your preferred contact detailsat any time by contacting us at the above address.
If you want to turn off push communications, you can do so through your mobile device configuration. Please note that opting out from push communications will not by itself cancel any subscription to our newsletters, emails or any other communications methods you may have accepted at any time.
Requests to us
We are required by law to act on requests and provide information free of charge, except where your requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive (in particular because of their repetitive nature) in which case we may charge a reasonable fee (taking into account the administrative costs of providing the information or communication, or taking the action requested), or refuse to act on the request.
Please consider your request responsibly before submitting it. We'll respond as soon as we can. Generally this will be within one month from when we receive your request but, if the request is going to take longer to deal with, we'll come back to you and let you know.
Contacting us
If you need to contact us for any reason (including to exercise any of your rights in relation to data protection as set out above and/or opt-out from our communications) please send us your request using the details here.
We may make minor changes to this Notice. When we make these changes we will publish the updated notice on the App. If we make any significant changes, we will take additional steps to bring these changes to your attention.

Passports and Visas
If you are an American or Canadian citizen, you need only a valid Passport. The easiest way to get a passport is through your local post office, County Court House, or Passport Agency. When applying, be sure to take with you: your genuine birth certificate, which includes the registrar's signature and a raised seal; two recent photographs that are 2″ x 2″, full face view, black/white or color; and ID, like your Driver's License (Some countries require that your passport be valid at least six months beyond the dates of your trip). You may need a Visa for our tours if you are not an American or Canadian citizen if you are traveling to Europe. If you are a citizen of another country, you must contact the appropriate consulates for each nation on the itinerary; and you must obtain these visas on your own.
Check on Visa requirements (incl. American or Canadian citizens) if you are traveling beyond Europe. Note: Some countries may charge for a tourist visa on entry or a departure tax on leaving the country.
Luggage Limits
Due to limited space on the tour motorcoach, please bring ONE suitcase only and ONE carry-on. Please limit your suitcase size to no larger than 29″ x 20″ x 10″ and your carry-on to no larger than 8″ x 16″ x 21″. Keep in mind that throughout the duration of the tour, you are responsible for your own luggage, so do not pack more than you can carry. Laundry facilities are available in major cities.
Suggested Packing List
The easiest way to make your tour stressful is to overpack! Traveling to Europe? Below is a generic packing list to help you get started. This is just a guide and isn't tour-specific.
Packing information applies generally to European travel, but can be used as basic guideline for all destinations. More detailed packing information for other destinations will be sent to travelers with their travel documents.
Due to limited luggage space & weight restrictions on the motor coach, AESU requires that you limit yourself to one suitcase only, (approx. 29″x 20″x 10″) plus one carry-on tote bag (8″x16″x 21″). Please note: Many airlines will be assessing a fee for a passenger's second checked bag. Most airlines allow one bag free of charge. Some exemptions apply. Check with your airline for details.
A must is light-weight, wrinkle-proof clothing (wash & wear, permanent press, etc.). Exact quantities depend on the length of tour.
Concentrate on coordinated outfits that you can mix & match according to color.
- 5 tops/shirts
- 3 skirts and/or slacks/capris
- 1 semi-dressy dress
- 2 WARM sweaters
- 1 light coat or raincoat
- 1 bathing suit
- 1 pair pajamas
- enough underwear & socks so that daily laundry isn't necessary
- 1 pair of comfortable walking shoes that are soft, well-ventilated, and have moderate to no heel!!! (Rubber soles are ideal for cobblestone, and we suggest closed-toe for chilly weather. Break them in before you go.)
- 1 pair semi-dress shoes, perhaps tennis shoes
- 5 shirts
- 4 pair slacks
- optional sports jacket
- 1 dress shirt
- 2 WARM sweaters
- 1 light-weight raincoat
- 1 pair bathing trunks
- 1 belt
- 1 tie
- 1 pair of comfortable walking shoes (rubber sole), 1 pair dress shoes, perhaps tennis shoes
- enough underwear & socks so that daily laundry isn't necessary
Summer travelers should pack lightweight fabrics. Some shorts are fine but remember often shorts & uncovered shoulders are not appropriate at some religious sites.
Winter travelers should pack light woolens or fleece and remember that several layers are the best. Also take one coat or sturdy jacket.
- 1 bar of soap in plastic case
- washcloth
- 1 small beach towel
- toothbrush & paste
- razor & cream
- sunburn & insect bite lotion
- small manicure set
- sewing kit & scissors
- plastic bags
- band-aids
- shampoo
- deodorant
- short clothes line with clips
- small amount of liquid detergent in plastic leak-proof container
- wash-n-dries
- spot remover
- rain hat or compact collapsible umbrella
- sunglasses
- extra glasses or contact lenses (bring prescription)
- wrist watch
- kleenex
- travel diary
- digital camera
- digital memory stick
- batteries
- inflatable pillow for bus rides
- calculator
- money belt
- personal checks
- make-up
- tampons or napkins
- If you must bring a small hairdryer, you will need an electrical converter (transformer) for current—220 volts and a packet of varied plug converters. Both are available at luggage stores, electrical stores, or hardware stores, etc. A good compact (3 oz.) transformer to ask for is "Franzus.'')
- If you can't avoid bringing clothes that need ironing, you will need a small travel iron. (For both iron and dryer if you are purchasing, you may want to look for dual-voltage products.)
- Remember, if you are traveling with a friend, only one of you needs to bring dryer, iron, converter & plugs!
Do not pack sharp items, scissors, etc. in carry-on.
- Anti-motion sickness (e.g.: Dramamine)
- anti-diarrhea (e.g.: Kaopectate)
- laxatives
- cold medicine
- multivitamins
- necessary prescriptions in plastic bottles (if needed have doctor write stand-by prescriptions)
Please note that most name brand cosmetics and toiletries can be bought overseas. Make sure all items are in leak-proof, plastic containers before packing.
Plan before you pack. Make sure everything is clean and mended. Remember heavy items on bottom and toward lower end of case when it is standing upright. Use a "Category Layer System" – dressy items in bottom, pants in middle, shirts on top, for example.
Never pack your passport or other personal and travel documents! Keep them on your person!
Mandatory for all travelers: Pack your carry-on bag with what you will need for one overnight on arrival. This way, in the event that the airlines misplace your luggage, you will have all you need for your first overnight until your luggage arrives.
Remember the TSA 3-1-1- rule when packing your carry-on bag:
You may only pack the following in your carry-on:
- 3 ounce bottles or less (by volume)
- 1 quart-sized, clear, plastic, zip-top bag
- 1 bag per passenger placed in screening bin
One-quart bag per person limits the total liquid volume each traveler can bring. 3 oz. container size is a security measure.
The seasons are "upside down" – reversed, but not as extreme as North America.
If traveling June-August:
This is their mild winter with temperatures in the 60's. Pack some light woolens and a coat or sturdy jacket. In mountainous regions, where temps can be low 40's, bring warm sweaters and socks.
If traveling September-December:
This is their spring and summer. Pack lightweight fabrics. Some shorts and casual wear are fine.
If traveling to or from Australia, don't forget that imaginary line on the earth's surface along longitude 180 degrees. As the earth rotates, each day first begins and ends on this line. A traveler going west adds one day. Going back east, the traveler sets his calendar back one day. Approximate flying time from Los Angeles to Sydney is fifteen hours.
Never pack your passport! Always keep it on your person! The same goes for travelers' checks, cash, credit cards and personal checks.
You should also bring the following:
- 2 extra passport photos if possible (in the event that you misplace your passport)
- photo copies of your passport's personal data pages
- photo copies of your airline tickets, unless you have an electronic ticket
- a listing of your credit card and travelers' check numbers
- photo copies of any personal IDs
This info will be extremely valuable should you lose any actual documents. Always keep actual documents on your person, and never in your checked suitcase.
Grad tours: Our hotels are 3* or 4* hotels, ALL with private bath/shower. The land package price is based on double occupancy. Our hotels have been especially selected for their atmosphere, friendly hospitality, cleanliness and location.
Usual accommodations are two sharing a room, however, if you're traveling alone, we will attempt to arrange for you to share a double at no extra cost. If this is not possible or if you prefer to stay in a single room, our reservations agent can make arrangements for a single at the applicable single supplement. (This also applies to AESU trips: Great Escape, Euro Focus, Explorer & Cosmopolitan).
AESU Short Getaways, Specialty and Young Alumni tours: (Designed for college grads ages 22 – 35). If you are traveling alone and do not want a single room, we will attempt to arrange for you to share a double, but if this is not possible, we will make arrangements for a single at the applicable single supplement.
