|[jira] Commented: (DERBY-499) Expose BOOLEAN datatype to end users
|Thu, 08 Dec 2005 07:55:09 GMT
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-499?page=comments#action_12359711 ] Kathey Marsden commented on DERBY-499: -------------------------------------- Looks like good progress on Boolean. Code Comments and questions 0) I do kind of wish constant reorganization and partial addition of other new types were in separate patches. 1) My biggest question about the patch are the new types and the assignment of these temporary codes. Will these be finalized before 10.2? Why have some other types be added to the DRDATypes but not the SQL Types. I was wondering if it might pose any conflict with work underway for XML? // Experimental types. These codes will change when the Open Group // publishes an addendum to the DRDA spec covering these // datatypes. public static final int DRDA_TYPE_BOOLEAN = 0xD0; public static final int DRDA_TYPE_NBOOLEAN = 0xD1; public static final int DRDA_TYPE_XML = 0xD2; public static final int DRDA_TYPE_NXML = 0xD3; public static final int DRDA_TYPE_NATCHAR = 0xD4; public static final int DRDA_TYPE_NNATCHAR = 0xD5; public static final int DRDA_TYPE_NATVARCHAR = 0xD6; public static final int DRDA_TYPE_NNATVARCHAR = 0xD7; public static final int DRDA_TYPE_LONGNATVARCHAR = 0xD8; public static final int DRDA_TYPE_NLONGNATVARCHAR = 0xD9; public static final int DRDA_TYPE_NATCLOB = 0xDA; public static final int DRDA_TYPE_NNATCLOB = 0xDB; // extensions to the db2 datatypes public static final int DB2_SQLTYPE_BOOLEAN = 1000; // BOOLEAN public static final int DB2_SQLTYPE_NBOOLEAN = 1001; } 2) DRDAConnThread comments In readAndSetParams it looks like BOOLEAN is not being handled. Are the client parameters still being sent as SMALLINT parameters? Line 6576 I think rather than a makeint method in DRDAConnThread I would rather see a writeByte(boolean b) method in DDMWriter similar to writeShort(boolean b), changing writer.writeByte( makeInt( (Boolean) val ) ); to writer.writeByte((Boolean) val ).booleanValue() ); 3) There seem to be places in the client code that have case statements for all the types, for example, many of the methods in CrossConverters. Does boolean need to be handled in these cases? 4) DatabaseMetadata.getTypeInfo() doesn't seem to return BOOLEAN/BIT. I think there has to be a differentiation of the output based on the client JVM version. Test comments 5) What client/server version combinations did you run the Compatibility tests? 5) Would you consider adding a boolean column to an ij test in the netmats suite like supersimple.sql to verify the ij formatting is ok and also provide some testing with earlier clients that it is being sent as smallint for clients other than derby 10.2 client? 6) Should jdbcapi/parameterMapping.java be updated for the new type? I know it is not junit but does provide a comprehensive picture of the type behaviour and it shouldn't be too hard to add a type to that test. 7) It seems more important than ever that we have at least some very basic client/server compatibility testing with the the 10.1.1.0 release as part of derbyall. > Expose BOOLEAN datatype to end users > ------------------------------------ > > Key: DERBY-499 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-499 > Project: Derby > Type: New Feature > Components: SQL > Versions: 10.1.1.0 > Reporter: Rick Hillegas > Assignee: Rick Hillegas > Attachments: BooleanFS.html, bug499.diff, bug499_doc.zip > > Veaceslav Chicu started an email thread on 8 August 2005 titled "boolean type". He was disappointed that Derby doesn't support the ansi BOOLEAN datatype. On closer inspection, Derby does internally support this type but does not expose this support to end users. > Derby should let users declare table columns of type BOOLEAN. This should be an indexable datatype. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira

Political Risk and Capital Flight
Capital flight often amounts to a substantial proportion of GDP when developing countries face crises. This paper presents a portfolio choice model that relates capital flight to rate of return differentials, risk aversion, and three types of risk: financial risk, political risk, and policy risk. Estimating the equilibrium capital flight equation for a panel of 47 developing countries over 16 years, we show that all three types of risk have a statistically significant impact on capital flight. Quantitatively, political risk is the most important factor causing capital flight. We also identify several political factors that reduce capital flight by signaling market-oriented reforms are imminent.

This muzzle is hard to use because the velcro sticks to itself before you have it positioned. I have a collie with a long snout but he was able to get it off in no time & it was still together!! I found it not to work very well.

[PHOTO] [Fwd: Re: [iris] new questions - tetraploid MTB's] | Mon, 10 Mar 2003 21:58:17" />
Hi Dave,
The tetraploid MTB' s we have introduced took many generations of
crosses to finally get seedlings that met the rigid class requirements.
(approximately 18 years ) We used Iris aphylla to miniaturize the tall
bearded iris. With the help of Ben Hager's seedlings and a couple he had
introduced that were near MTB size, and with the advise generously given
by Bob Schreiner we eventually were able to reach our goal. I. aphylla
has multi branching and buds. Most branch from the base (within one inch
of the rhizome). They throw multi budded and branched seedlings when
crossed with TB's. We now have lines of seedlings which are producing
first generation MTB's. Attached is a photo of one which was selected
best seedling at the Portland Show in 2002. The beauty of the tet's is
that we can produce MTB's in any color combination and many very smooth
clean colors with the form of the most advanced TB's. Now we are
getting rebloomers. In addition, we have several that meet the SDB
class in size but bloom with the tall bearded. That certainly extends
the bloom season. See attached photo of 48 chromosome SDB.
There will be some who are offended by a SDB that blooms with the TB's.
yet other's applaud advances made to extend bloom seasons.
The field is wide open not only for MTB's but SDB' and IB's and BB's.
Our iris are as fertile as the TB's! They are all well branched,
multibudded, giving a long bloom season.
Lynn Markham is working with aphylla and aphylla derivatives. Ken
Fisher has been incorporating them in his lines as has Terry Aitken, and
even Lynda Miller's husband. Cindy and Steffy Rust are working on a line
of reblooming iris out of aril using aphylla derivatives.
I hope this answers your inquiry.
Vicki Craig
Tigard, Or

FTC Accuses T-Mobile of Knowingly Charging Customers for Fraudulent Services
T-Mobile reportedly collected 35 to 40 percent of the amount charged to consumers, at times continuing to bill customers even after it was clear the charges were fraudulent. According to the FTC, T-Mobile made "hundreds of millions of dollars" using these tactics.
The FTC suggests that the charges were unauthorized because of the high volume of T-Mobile customers seeking refunds. The company has allegedly received a high number of consumer complaints since 2012. T-Mobile is also said to have made it difficult to detect the charges, as a summary bill did not show a third-party charge or a recurring subscription. T-Mobile bills also made it "nearly impossible for consumers to find and understand third-party subscription charges."
After looking past a "Summary" section as well as an "Account Service Detail" section, both of which described "Usage Charges" but did not itemize those charges, a consumer might then reach the section labeled "Premium Services," where the crammed items would be listed.T-Mobile also failed to provide full refunds to customers after the charges were discovered. The FTC is asking for a court order to prevent T-Mobile from continuing to charge customers for fraudulent services and to provide full refunds for its "ill-gotten gains."
According to the complaint, the information would be listed there in an abbreviated form, such as "8888906150BrnStorm23918," that did not explain that the charge was for a recurring third-party subscription supposedly authorized by the consumer.
T-Mobile has not yet commented on the FTC's complaint, but the company's outspoken CEO, John Legere, will undoubtedly have a response.
In recent months, T-Mobile has worked hard to distinguish itself from other mobile phone carriers with its "UnCarrier" initiatives designed to disrupt traditional mobile service. The company has uncoupled device costs from service costs, introduced a Jump upgrade plan, provided unlimited texting and 2G data in 100 countries, offered customers up to $350 to switch carriers, and announced plans to allow customers to "test drive" the service.
Update 1:30 PM PT: T-Mobile has released a statement calling the FTC's complaint "unfounded and without merit." T-Mobile goes on to state that it stopped billing for Premium SMS services last year and has launched a "proactive program" to provide full refunds for customers.

T-Mobile is still a douchebag carrier.
T-Mobile doesn't make it easy when switching from pre-paid to post-paid. They treat you like a new customer (as though switching from a different carrier) and make you purchase new SIM cards at $10 a pop. WTF?
This seems like a silly complain compared to what its like at VZW and ATT
That's it. I'm switching from T-mobile to AT&T
You're missing the sarcasm tag.
Glad to see the regulators doing their job.

Thank you, FTC!
$10? AT&T prevents you from doing that altogether altogether, I had to take a number to another carrier for a month, then come back as new one. I wish they charged me $10 a pop rather than having to do a looparound
I finally had to threaten to take my landline and mobile accounts elsewhere and threaten legal means to get the charges off. I then had to argue to get a block put on my numbers so it wouldn't happen again. "Well, if we do this you'll never be able to charge anything like this to your phone number again,". I've never charged a service to my phone number (or anything else for that matter) That's what my credit cards are for!! Like pulling teeth.
Watch your bills. They all do this because they get a cut of the pie.
Looks like T-mobile isn't such a customer friendly company. They talk like they are but when the rubber meets the road it takes the FTC to make things happen. Same thing can be said about Sprint. They talk about being the most customer friendly company, but if you look at Sprint forums, all you get are customer after customer complaining of poor service and lack of helpful feedback from customer support.
I have ATT and I once had an issue where I was charged $10 by one of these premium message things. I called customer service and they credited my account and then blocked charges from going through. Now i know for a fact that I will never get charged by premium messaging companies again.
Where is T-mobile when it comes to helping their customers? Oh yeah, getting the FTC after them for taking advantage of their customers, thats where.
Uhhh... they proactively set up a refund program, months before this announcement by the FTC, guaranteeing refunds to all customers, current and former, who were assessed these fees, no questions asked. How is that not consumer friendly?

Twelve years after the terrorists attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, hundreds gathered at the Healing Fields at Tempe Beach Park this week to remember the lives lost.
The event, which is put on each year by the Exchange Club of Tempe, came to an end with a candle light vigil Wednesday night. Hundreds of volunteers passed out candles that were placed at the base of more than 2,900 American flags standing to represent each victim of 9/11.
Guest speaker Tim Chambers encouraged those present to be grateful for first responders.
"I had no idea the way first responders put it on the line every day to protect us on the home front," Chambers said. "I had a whole new found respect for them after I spent three days digging through the rubble finding closure for victim's families… I owe my life to a first responder. I think we all do."
Chambers was at the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001. He had just left the building when he saw the plane go over his head. He said he spent days helping dig through rubble and then watching children of families that had lost loved ones, as they continued to search.
The guest speaker said the one thing that will unite the country is compassion.
The Healing Fields take over Tempe Beach Park each year on Sept. 11. A flag is placed to remember each victim. The flags will come down on Sunday, Sept. 15.

Louis Vuitton has used many federally registered trademarks for its products since 1896. The company sued a retailer alleging trademark infringement due to likely confusion in the marketplace due to the similarity of the retailer's handbags to the Multicolore trademark used by Vuitton. After its motion for a preliminary injunction was denied, Vuitton appealed, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit reversed, observing that a court should not focus on the subtle differences in the products when viewed side by side, but rather, for Lanham Act purposes, consider how a consumer could be misled in real market conditions. The case was remanded for further proceedings concerning Vuitton's preliminary injunction motion.

Dean Guitars Hillsboro Junior 3/4 Size Bass Guitar Classic Black
Dean Hillsboro Junior3/4 Size Electric Bass Guitar (priced for the young musician on a budget but offering great tone and playability) is a great choice for those with smaller fingers and/or guitarists who want to switch to bass occasionally. Even though the scale length is 30" (compared to 34" or 35" for standard electric basses) there's no compromise in tone.
The Hillsboro Junior bass has a basswood body and top with a bolt-on, C-shaped maple neck and fretboard. The body design and pearl dot inlays provide classic styling while the sleek finish adds a modern shine. Split P bass style pickups with volume and tone controls offer a simple yet effective means of finding your sound. Case sold separately.

If you are intending to be at the Congress and would be interested in such a satellite meeting, please contact me, so that some arrangements can be made. I look forward to meeting many of you in Florence in June.

Project Description
We created a free native iPhone app ([url removed, login to view]). We need an Android native app based on this work.
What it does is to let the user search for an available guest room around him or around a given address / place. The logic is done on a server, the only thing the app does is to request a JSON response (see attachment) with all the results and data to display.
The request contains the user language and the address or geolocation.
There are 4-5 screens in this app :
1. splash screen (image) also used as credits screen
3. main form where user can search for an address or ask a to be geolocated
4. results screen (where results are displayed on a google map and listed below)
5 optional listing screen for houses with several rooms (grouped rooms)
6. details screen (details of a specific result) with informations, "call" and "route" buttons. Also, the user can slide between photos on this screen.
#### The main form
Currently, we check for Internet connexion for the search to work (otherwise, user get an error message). Also, user needs to put something in the search box if clicking on search ;-)
There is a credits button to access credits image
#### The results screen
Markers on google map should be numbered to reflect results numbers. Also, clicking on a marker should be equivalent to clicking a result below.
As explained in requirements, results can have a sublist (displayed in the optional listing screen).
#### The details screen
All informations displayed here come from the JSON.
There are also :
* a "call" button to call the owner of the accommodation
* a "route" button to display itinerary. Currently, this is done within the app (by calling Google API). You can instead link to Maps itinerary.
* a photo gallery (see screenshot). Photos can switch automatically or if possible (preferred solution) user could swipe photos. Photos URL are received in the JSON. Photos should be lazy loaded with a spinner.
## Deliverables
The logic is pretty simple. Please use common mobile development best practices (relative sizes for components, network indicator, ...). The UI (buttons, headers, ...) should be the most exact copy of the existing application.
We can provide existing app materials (source code, images, icons).
App should be translated (English, French, Dutch) based on phone language (French is default). We will provide the translations.
The submission to Google Play is not part of your job.
Screenshots of existing app attached, with sample json received from server.

What he did was not complicated; it was simple. The way he transformed a useless school in a barren urban district was not simple in the sense that it could be reduced to a 10-point plan to be applied automatically to all sink schools - but in the sense that anyone knows immediately what is right when they see it.
The first thing he did was redecorate the defaced walls and replace the broken windows. The second thing he did was give the pupils school bags. "I personally put a pen, a pencil and a rubber in each one." Until then they came in unprepared for lessons, and if the school gave them books for homework it would not get the books back. But the first thing "Sir Geoff" really did was to care. He wrote to the parents of all 649 pupils asking them to come to a parents' evening. If he did not get a reply, he visited them at home. He told them all what he was trying to do at the school and said: "Please come and help me."
He replaced sweatshirts with a traditional tie-and-blazer uniform, set up a pupils' council, recognised pupil achievements through termly certificates and wall charts, employed someone to raise funds and try to change the school's negative image in the town, and set up literacy and numeracy projects to teach children alongside their parents.
It is not so much the specific policies, however, but that indefinable quality of leadership which has raised the school's exam results from 18th out of 18 state schools in Wolverhampton to second, beaten only by a selective church school - a transformation which has been achieved in an astonishingly short time. Mr Hampton became head at the end of 1993, just as the school became the first in the country to be "named and shamed". The magic ingredient in the change is his character: he takes a close personal interest in all the children, who respond with a respect bordering on reverence.
Now, this newspaper takes a pretty dim view of gongs and baubles but, if we are to have knighthoods, then they should be awarded to the likes of Mr Hampton. Pop stars and sports personalities do not need fancy handles to mark the public's appreciation. But good teachers must have all the attention the Government can lavish upon them. Our Education Prime Minister is to be commended for making Geoff Hampton a knight, and for making Tamsyn Imison and Patricia Collarbone dames. They, too, have achieved remarkable things, and it is interesting that many of their methods are similar.
At Dame Tamsyn's Hampstead School in Camden, north London, half of the 1,300 pupils have English as their second language, and yet it has the best exam results of any mixed comprehensive in the borough. She set out her vision thus: "We must have a mission, a strategy for achieving it and ambitious targets by which we can monitor success." Dame Patricia, former head of Haggerston Secondary School for Girls in Hackney, east London, adopted the motto ACHIEVE - Attendance, Commitment, Homework, Improvement, Effort, Valuing Everyone. The precise policy mix does not matter, although some elements are essential, such as the setting and measuring of targets. What makes the difference is a sense of purpose imparted by a charismatic leader.
There are Hamptons, Imisons and Collarbones all over the country, and it is desperately important that they should bask in the glory of public approval.
Indeed, it is vital that the status of the teaching profession as a whole is raised, so that more Hamptons are attracted into it, not just to be heads but to be teachers. Are there any graduates who cannot remember at least one teacher in their school years who inspired them and helped them discover how to use their minds? The pupils of Northicote are fortunate in that Geoff Hampton never wanted to be anything else. But if educational standards are to be raised in Britain, we cannot rely on a few random individuals to feel a calling.
There must be many people with Sir Geoff's qualities who are not using them to the full, or at all. Many more people could discover these qualities in themselves if they were given the chance.
In the end, teachers will have to be paid more. It is not realistic to expect people to look up to a profession whose practitioners are so poorly paid. But the Government is right not to make this the starting point of its crusade. First it must try to create a climate in which teaching is highly valued for its own sake, while at the same time distinguishing between good and bad practice.
That is what the New Year honours did. They began to move us to a point where those who can, teach, and those who cannot, go into management consultancy.

For the third year running Cusacks Men's Footballers came up against Wolfe Tones from Melbourne in their Final, the match went to extra time and on to Golden Point – with the Tones getting in first to seal the deal. Coast Camogs continued their winning streak edging out the Cusacks girls in their final.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Last summer, I rode across America in a 1950s Pullman train car with 24 other Millennials. It was a rediscovery of America and what it means to be a Millennial-- inspired by an Indian idea.
For over a decade, 400 young, aspiring Indian entrepreneurs have been doing an epic train ride around the subcontinent, stopping in cities to meet the country's biggest business leaders and technologists. Referred to as the Jagriti Yatra, or "reawakening," it's an effort to connect young Indians, disconnected by vast geographies and cultures (India has 30 plus states, and 28 languages).
Patrick Dowd, a Fulbright fellow at the time in India, signed up for the ride. Three years later, sitting at his desk at JP Morgan, saturated in a life of spreadsheets, he said, he wanted to bring that journey to America.
He named it The Millennial Trains Project: a 10-day journey across America from San Francisco to Washington, DC with stops along the way. Each Millennial would have to craft a project that he/she would pursue at each stop. The topics varied from rescuing farm waste to clean tech to redesigning communities.
I have to admit that I was skeptical. Was this just a glorified summer trip?
Millennials have been termed the "Me, Me, Me" generation. We're obsessed with technology. We're lazy. We don't have the work ethic of our forefathers. The criticisms have been endless.
That's exactly what this train was designed to defeat. Turns out, I learned, Millennials share a kinship with the past, with the original pioneers of America, not just the new-found tech innovators of their generation.
On board, Lindsea Wilbur, 24, was the epitome of vintage meeds modern. Dressed in a second-hand, shoulder-padded Parisian-style jacket, she meandered through the train, playing old tunes on her harmonica. Her musical hero is '40s American folk musician, Woody Guthrie.
She was "blown away" by Omaha and Pittsburg on the transcontinental journey. San Francisco, Denver, Salt Lake City, and Chicago - the bigger cities - took second place. In Omaha, she visited the birthplace of Malcolm X; but she was more intrigued by the rehabilitation center next door for juvenile delinquents. Reverend Williams, who works with these frustrated youth at the center, placing them back into society, giving them tangible skill sets for employment, inspired her immensely.
"He's not from Silicon Valley or San Francisco, talking about an idealistic vision of disruption. He's just doing it," she said.
In Pittsburgh, Wilbur was intrigued by TechShop, a co-working office not for tech nerds, but for welders, designers, textile artists. A space designed to revive manufacturing in a city known for its steel industry and smoke stacks. "That's the kind of design we need, going forward," she said. "Based on our roots, our history. We can't just throw that away."
The train itself was part of Wilbur's project: an experiment in social architecture. How do you create an environment that encourages creativity and change? A sense of community, she said is the missing link.
"We live disconnected digital lives. We have to connect those dots somewhere - in person."
John Mitsch, 24-year-old Hartford resident and recent grad from the International Culinary Center in New York, spoke of his fondness for Henry David Thoreau, for the prescriptive lines of Walden - an apt guide for a rushed, and wired generation.


text: Linked product Oil Spill Clean Up Simulation "Nano sand" is a product that was originally invented to help clean up oil spills in water. Since the "nano sand" is hydrophobic, it does not let water molecules pass through. It does, however, let oil molecules pass through. When oil-contaminated water is exposed to "magic sand", the oil passes through and leaves clean water behind. And when "magic sand" is sprinkled on top of oil spills, the sand binds with the oil and creates oil- filled sand clumps that fall to the bottom of an ocean or lake. If you use a small amount of oil so that it does not make a full layer and instead forms... Product

Natural Jewels of Costa Rica
Natural Jewels of Costa Rica
Rain Forests, Jungle Wildlife, Tropical Birds & More on Costa Rica's Finest Nature Adventure!
Costa Rica may be a small country wedged between two continents, but few locales in the world are bigger on nature and adventure. Flanked by miles of wild beaches on the Pacific and the Caribbean, Costa Rica's interior is a lush tangle of rain forest, mist-veiled mountains, active volcanoes and habitat for some of the greatest biodiversity on Earth. Within the layers of green upon green, thousands of species thrive: gigantic ferns, magenta orchids, neon-bright parrots, three-toed sloths, monkeys, peccaries, crocodiles, iguanas and frogs, just for starters. In the colors and cacophony of the tropical jungle, our senses are never so engaged.
Trip Highlights
Spot prolific wildlife on private boat cruises through the dense jungles of Tortuguero National Park, and learn about green sea turtle conservation
In the misty depths of the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, search for the resplendent quetzal, hummingbirds, monkeys and sloths on nature trails and a canopy skywalk
Discover the hidden beauty of remote Corcovado National Park as we explore pristine rain forest, mangrove swamps and wild beaches
Exploring Costa Rica is Better with Nat Hab!
Costa Rica offers many options for visitors, from beach resorts to self-drive hotel-based tours. If you love nature, however, experience Costa Rica with us—it's that simple. We've been scouring the country for three decades to find and share the most captivating and "hidden"nature sites. From a private exploration of Tortuguero to little-visited Corcovado National Park, our itinerary is meticulously crafted to offer experiences that typical travelers miss. Our Expedition Leaders are Costa Rica's best-trained and most experienced guides. Our groups are the smallest you'll find. And we have an uncompromising focus on highest-quality, most remote and intimate lodges and locales. As a nature traveler, when you experience Costa Rica with us, you'll have a superlative experience. Here's how:
Small Groups Make a Big Difference in the Rain Forest
Imagine following a narrow trail through the rain forest with 15, 20 or 30 other travelers. Footsteps and voices drown out the delicate forest sounds; a sense of solitude in nature is impossible. Yet many companies run groups this size. With that much human company, there is simply no chance for quiet personal enjoyment as you spot the rare resplendent quetzal or listen to a troop of howler monkeys calling in the canopy. You won't even be able to hear your guide whisper details about the animals to you. That's why
our groups average just 8 travelers,
and we cap our groups at 11.
The Optimal Costa Rica Wildlife Itinerary
We've been working in Costa Rica for many years, and our goal has always been to share the country's best wildlife sites with our guests. This ideal itinerary, carefully crafted and regularly updated, has been designed in conjunction with WWF to facilitate the closest of wildlife encounters in the most intimate manner, away from the crowds.
Private Boat Tours of Tortuguero National Park
Our small group enjoys exclusive private boat cruises through the canals of one of Costa Rica's top wildlife destinations, Tortuguero National Park. Most travel operators and lodge-based tours have you joining with guests from other lodges—not us! As ever, an intimate experience of nature is paramount on our trips.
Distinctive Lodgings that Immerse You in Nature
While other companies may base you at large, centralized lodges in more developed areas, our accommodations are chosen to create a seamless experience with nature. Our deluxe jungle
in Tortuguero features individual cabanas tucked within the rainforest, surrounded by birds and monkeys. Xandari Plantation Lodge, on a 40-acre coffee and fruit plantation, melds with the lush tropical landscape replete with gardens, waterfalls and trails lacing the jungle.
A Rare Chance to Visit Corcovado National Park
Corcovado National Park, which National Geographic described as the "most biologically intense place on Earth," lies off the standard tourist itinerary even though it occupies more than 100,000 acres, incorporates at least 13 ecosystems and protects a host of endemic wildlife and plant species. On guided hikes and exclusive nature walks, we explore the coastal trails and inland paths that traverse this stronghold of biodiversity in search of scarlet macaws, toucans, parrots, tapir, monkeys and elusive jaguars.
A Chance to Observe & 'Adopt' Endangered Sea Turtles
Tortuguero National Park is famous for its green sea turtles, which nest here from approximately July to October. Guests traveling with us during those months may be able to book an optional excursion to see them on the beach late at night. Though we can't book this activity in advance or guarantee availability, your Expedition Leader can arrange it upon arrival through the
if there is space. All travelers on our Natural Jewels of Costa Rica trip are also provided the complimentary opportunity to "adopt" a sea turtle as part of this adventure. The adoption process includes material about this conservation program, an adoption form, and a free one-year membership to the Sea Turtle Conservancy, for guests who wish to sign up. Membership allows participants to track the status of their turtle, but they can also adopt a turtle without
if they do not wish to receive info from STC.
The Finest Naturalist Guides
Natural Habitat Adventures is known worldwide for employing the finest naturalists on the planet! This is so important in places like Costa Rica, where rain forest wildlife spotting requires finely honed skills. Rather than using less-qualified local lodge guides at each stop, or a single driver-guide as a trip escort, our highly trained NHA Expedition Leaders personally escort our groups from start to finish. Each averages nearly 20 years' experience and receives exclusive resources from WWF's world-class scientists. We also travel with an experienced driver/assistant guide, enabling us to divide our already small group into even smaller groups for more intimate nature encounters.
See Expedition Leader bios
with traveler comments regarding the quality of our leaders.
The Most Comfortable Vehicles
Our deluxe Toyota Coaster mini-buses aren't just sleek and stylish, they're also ultra-spacious, with high ceilings, large windows, a wide aisle and ample space between seats. And of course, since we never fill our vehicles to capacity, every guest has a window seat plus plenty of room to spread out. Our vehicles also offer the smoothest ride you'll find over Costa Rica's sometimes rugged roads in natural areas. Thanks to long tapered rear leaf springs and independent front suspension with double wishbones and upper torsion bar, the Coaster delivers a comfortable, stable ride.
Our Quality-Value Guarantee Ensures Your Superior Costa Rica Experience
With Natural Habitat Adventures, you receive our exclusive guarantee, which clearly states that we will meet the lofty expectations we set in our promotional materials. To our knowledge, this is the most ambitious guarantee made by any adventure travel company.
Read our important promise.
Feel Good About the Way You Travel
We care deeply about our planet, just as you do. When you travel with us, the carbon emissions from your trip are 100-percent offset – Natural Habitat Adventures is the world's first carbon-neutral travel company.
Natural Habitat Adventures is WWF's Travel Partner

Sustainable Heterogeneity as the Unique Socially Optimal Allocation for Almost All Social Welfare Functions
The socially optimal allocation has been regarded to be unspecifiable because of utility's interpersonal incomparability, Arrow's general possibility theorem, and other factors. This paper examines this problem by focusing not on the social welfare function but instead on the utility possibility frontier in dynamic models with a heterogeneous population. A unique balanced growth path was found on which all of the optimality conditions of all heterogeneous households are equally and indefinitely satisfied (sustainable heterogeneity). With appropriate government interventions, such a path is always achievable and is uniquely socially optimal for almost all generally usable (i.e., preferences are complete, transitive, and continuous) social welfare functions. The only exceptions are some variants in Nietzsche type social welfare functions, but those types of welfare functions will rarely be adopted in democratic societies. This result indicates that it is no longer necessary to specify the shape of the social welfare function to determine the socially optimal growth path in a heterogeneous population.

AIM-9X Block II & Beyond: The New Sidewinder Missiles
August 15/16: The AIM-9X Sidewinder has become the first short range air-to-air missile to be fully integrated on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. Testing of the missile so far has lead to a three for three success with a fourth guided test expected by the end of the year alongside final integration work. The F-35 is capable of holding two AIM-9Xs on its wings, and when configured for air superiority missions, can hold four AIM-120s internally.
Raytheon's AIM-9X Block II would have made Top Gun a very short movie. It's the USA's most advanced short range air-air missile, capable of using its datalink, thrust vectoring maneuverability, and advanced imaging infrared seeker to hit targets behind the launching fighter. Unlike previous AIM-9 models, the AIM-9X can even be used against targets on the ground.
These changes will help keep it competitive against foreign missiles like MBDA UK's AIM-132 ASRAAM, RAFAEL of Israel's Python 5, the multinational German-led IRIS-T, and Russia's R73/ AA-11 Archer. So far, only American fighter types can use AIM-9X missiles, but that hasn't stopped a slew of export requests and sales, especially in the Middle East.
