LONDON, ENGLAND, April 29, 2011 (Press-News.org) Voyages Jules Verne, the specialist tour operator, has launched the latest edition of its popular Classic Resorts & Weekends brochure.
The brochure features a choice of 32 itineraries across Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, and clients can choose from classic city breaks and cultural forays or simply book a relaxing resort stay with the option to add on some sightseeing trips once they get there.
The new brochure, which covers departures from April 2011 to April 2012, encompasses perennial Voyages Jules Verne favourites - such as Venice from the Water, Bargain in Marrakech and A Taste of South Africa, as well as more recent additions that include Tallinn Tales, and Arts & Delights in Vienna.
There are four new holidays which have been added to the Classic Resorts & Weekend brochure for 2011, including Bombay Mix, a five-night trip to India which features a full-day sighseeing tour of the city as well as time for independent exploration. Going Going Tirol allows clients to stay in the Tirolean village of Going for seven nights including a journey on Europe's oldest steam-driven railway the Achenseebahn and a cruise on Lake Achensee.
The new additions also include An Icelandic Summer, where clients are based in Reykjavik and Heritage of Malta, which has a four night stay in one of Malta's historic hotels.
Also new to the Classic Resorts & Weekends brochure this year are details about the walking content of itineraries. Shown alongside other useful tour information in the 'Key VJV Features' section on each page, each tour is graded from 1 (relaxed walking) to 4 (strenuous - for seasoned walkers), based on an overall assessment of the terrain and activities covered.
Solo travellers selecting their next trip from the new Classic Resorts & Weekends brochure need not fear financial penalty, with more than half of the itineraries available with no single supplement. Options range from Cyprus - The Southern Tour, A Slice of Madeira, Grand Hotels on Lake Como and an Italian itinerary that includes a journey on the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, as well as the brand-new Heritage of Malta and Going Going Tirol tours. No Single Traveller supplement places apply on certain departure dates only and are subject to availability.

Sustaining vulnerable lives
2011-04-29
Patient safety is a hot topic in the U.S., Australia and Europe. Large resources are set aside for research projects that will make life safer for patients. In Norway, the research field is still new – but researchers from Stavanger are in the forefront.
"Until about five years ago the Norwegian health care system had a low focus on safety and risk management compared with other high-risk sectors", says Professor Karina Aase at the University of Stavanger.
Together with her colleagues, she has concluded that there is an under-reporting of adverse events in Norwegian ...
Stealth Energy Inc. : Completion of Oil Well
2011-04-29
Stealth Energy Inc. (the "Company") is pleased to report that well 7-1 Dexter, in Musselshell County, which was previously drilled and reported on 20 Dec. 2010, has been scheduled for completion on 4 May 2011. The Company has experienced some frustration with obtaining a traditional 'frac' due to the current intense demand for this process.
Management has decided to use "Radial Drilling Technology" ("RDT") to potentially put the well into production. RDT is a relatively new completion technology which provides increased exposure to natural ...
Benefit of PET in patients with head and neck tumors cannot be assessed
2011-04-29
The benefit and harm of positron emission tomography (PET) in patients with head and neck tumours, applied alone or in combination with computed tomography (CT), cannot currently be reliably assessed. This is the result of a final report published by the German Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG). The Institute was commissioned by the Federal Joint Committee (G-BA) to assess the advantages and disadvantages of this diagnostic method. However, as the authors of the report explain, suitable studies for this purpose are lacking.

Student's prediction points the way to hot, dense super-Earth
2011-04-29
A planet that we thought we knew turns out to be rather different than first suspected. Our revised view comes from new data released today by an international team of astronomers. They made their observations of the planet "55 Cancri e" based on calculations by Harvard graduate student Rebekah Dawson (Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics), who worked with Daniel Fabrycky (now at the University of California, Santa Cruz) to predict when the planet crosses in front of its star as seen from Earth. Such transits give crucial information about a planet's size and orbit.

Unintentional child injuries, deaths can be prevented, public health researchers say
2011-04-29
COLUMBIA, Mo. – Patricia Schnitzer, associate professor in the MU Sinclair School of Nursing, says that most unintentional child injury deaths of young children result from inadequate supervision or failure to protect children from harm. Although injuries to children may be unintentional, they can be prevented and should not be considered accidents.
"Persistent references to tragic, freak, and horrible accidents indicate there is still important work needed to frame unintentional injuries as preventable," Schnitzer said. "Understanding and addressing social norms about ...

Study identifies second gene associated with specific congenital heart defects
2011-04-29
A gene known to be important in cardiac development has been newly associated with congenital heart malformations that result in obstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract. These are the findings from a study conducted by Nationwide Children's Hospital and appearing in the journal Birth Defects Research Part A.
Left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) malformations, including aortic valve stenosis, coarctation of the aorta, hypoplastic left heart syndrome, Shone complex and interrupted aortic arch type A, are responsible for a major portion of childhood death from ...
New ORNL solar cell technology cranks up efficiency
2011-04-29
OAK RIDGE, Tenn., April 29, 2011 - With the creation of a 3-D nanocone-based solar cell platform, a team led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Jun Xu has boosted the light-to-power conversion efficiency of photovoltaics by nearly 80 percent.
The technology substantially overcomes the problem of poor transport of charges generated by solar photons. These charges -- negative electrons and positive holes -- typically become trapped by defects in bulk materials and their interfaces and degrade performance.
"To solve the entrapment problems that reduce solar cell efficiency, ...
Gene therapy shows promise against age-related macular degeneration
2011-04-29
BOSTON (April 29, 2011) — A gene therapy approach using a protein called CD59, or protectin, shows promise in slowing the signs of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), according to a new in vivo study by researchers at Tufts University School of Medicine. Led by senior author Rajendra Kumar-Singh, PhD, the researchers demonstrated for the first time that CD59 delivered by a gene therapy approach significantly reduced the uncontrolled blood vessel growth and cell death typical of AMD, the most common cause of blindness in the elderly. The study was published on April ...
