SURREY, ENGLAND, November 24, 2011 (Press-News.org) Kuoni, a leading travel operator in the UK, has revealed in its new 'Discover' brochure, a collection of enthralling holidays aimed at adventurous travellers.

Whether it's hot air ballooning in Jaipur, tea with a Gurkha family, zip-lining in Honduras, horse riding in Uruguay, cruising in Antarctica, snorkeling in the San Blas Islands in Panama, wildlife spotting in Guyana or walking the Inca trail in Peru, readers of the brochure are invited to engage with the many adventures available through Kuoni travel. These exciting and iconic experiences are just a few that fill the pages of 'Discover.'

In the spirit of some of the most famous adventurers, from Captain Cook and Vasco da Gama to Christopher Columbus, Kuoni has created its first dedicated brochure, featuring authentic experiences, inspirational trips, once-in-a-lifetime tours and the company's trademark personalised itineraries, all designed to satisfy the most ardent adventurers.

The Discover brochure focuses on four of the world's most memorable regions, Latin America, the Far East, Africa and India holidays.

Travellers can choose between independent itineraries, small group tours, escorted tours, private tours, rail journeys, self-drive, cruises or safaris. Such holidays are popular choices for family travel, honeymoons and gap year adventures. People can cherry pick options in the brochure or have Kuoni tailor-make a personalised itinerary.

This collection offers a wide range of adventurous experiences across the globe, including: Attenborough-style journeys in Antarctica; spotting jaguars and cougars in Venezuela; journeying Patagonia; trekking in Annapurna; visiting elephant stables in Hampi and discovering the real Kathmandu.

"This collection represents extraordinary experiences for our travellers," said Sarah Beckwith, Kuoni's Market Manager for Discover. "They can explore the world and experience true adventure, all backed up with Kuoni's unparalleled experience, insider knowledge and service. We can optimise your holiday time by tailor-making whatever experiences your heart desires."

A dedicated sales team backs up Discover with destination specific knowledge for those wanting to make face-to-face bookings at any of Kuoni's retail stores. In addition, Kuoni's online magazine gives further inspiration.

Seasoned traveller Simon Reeve, presenter of the BBC series 'Equator,' 'Tropic of Capricorn' and 'Tropic of Cancer,' has collaborated with Kuoni on the Discover brochure by writing the foreword. He refers to Discover as "tickling and tantalising your taste buds." Reeve was also present at the brochure's high-profile launch at The Dorchester, taking questions and sharing his unforgettable travel experiences.

UIC study identifies a key molecular switch for telomere extension by telomerase

2011-11-24

Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine describe for the first time a key target of DNA damage checkpoint enzymes that must be chemically modified to enable stable maintenance of chromosome ends by telomerase, an enzyme thought to play a key role in cancer and aging. Their findings are reported online in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology. Telomeres are the natural ends of chromosomes, consisting of specialized DNA-and-protein structures that protect chromosome ends and ensure faithful duplication of chromosomes in actively dividing ...

Physicists set strongest limit on mass of dark matter

2011-11-24

PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- If dark matter exists in the universe, scientists now have set the strongest limit to date on its mass. In a paper to be published on Dec. 1 in Physical Review Letters (available in pdf), Brown University assistant professor Savvas Koushiappas and graduate student Alex Geringer-Sameth report that dark matter must have a mass greater than 40 giga-electron volts in dark-matter collisions involving heavy quarks. (The masses of elementary particles are regularly expressed in terms of electron volts.) Using publicly available data collected from an instrument ...

Nanoparticle electrode for batteries could make grid-scale power storage feasible

2011-11-24

The sun doesn't always shine and the breeze doesn't always blow and therein lie perhaps the biggest hurdles to making wind and solar power usable on a grand scale. If only there were an efficient, durable, high-power, rechargeable battery we could use to store large quantities of excess power generated on windy or sunny days until we needed it. And as long as we're fantasizing, let's imagine the battery is cheap to build, too. Now Stanford researchers have developed part of that dream battery, a new electrode that employs crystalline nanoparticles of a copper compound. In ...

Short waits, long consults keep most patients very happy with their physicians

2011-11-24

ANN ARBOR, Mich.—Patients overall in the United States are very satisfied with their physicians and with treatment they receive in outpatient settings, according to new information which challenges common public perceptions about outpatient medical treatment. "Particularly surprising is that even a lot of patients who reported average encounters with physicians, such as average national wait times and average physician encounter time, seem to be giving full marks to their physician in terms of visit satisfaction," said Rajesh Balkrishnan, lead study author and associate ...

How drought-tolerant grasses came to be

2011-11-24

Durham, NC — If you eat bread stuffing or grain-fed turkey this Thanksgiving, give thanks to the grasses — a family of plants that includes wheat, oats, corn and rice. Some grasses, such as corn and sugar cane, have evolved a unique way of harvesting energy from the sun that's more efficient in hot, arid conditions. A new grass family tree reveals how this mode of photosynthesis came to be. The results may one day help scientists develop more drought-tolerant grains, say scientists working at the U. S. National Evolutionary Synthesis Center. From the grasslands of ...

The handheld climbing tool allows warfighters to ascend and descend vertical surfaces quickly, at a rate of six feet per second. As ONR's rapid-response science and technology program, TechSolutions funded the project to create ...

Diabetes drug shows promise in reducing risk of cancer

2011-11-24

EAST LANSING, Mich. — An inexpensive drug that treats Type-2 diabetes has been shown to prevent a number of natural and man-made chemicals from stimulating the growth of breast cancer cells, according to a newly published study by a Michigan State University researcher. The research, led by pediatrics professor James Trosko and colleagues from South Korea's Seoul National University, provides biological evidence for previously reported epidemiological surveys that long-term use of the drug metformin for Type-2 diabetes reduces the risk of diabetes-associated cancers, ...
