Mariscal Sucre International Airport[3] (Spanish: Aeropuerto Internacional Mariscal Sucre) (IATA: UIO, ICAO: SEQM) is the busiest airport in Ecuador and one of the busiest airports in South America. It is located in the Tababela parish, about 18 kilometres (11 mi)[4] east of Quito and serves as the largest hub for Avianca Ecuador and LATAM Ecuador. It also served as the main hub for TAME, Ecuador's flag-carrier, before the airline was liquidated by the Ecuadorian government in 2020.[5] The airport opened in February 2013 and replaced the 53-year old airport of the same name.[6] The airport is named after independence leader Antonio José de Sucre. It is rated as the only 5-star airport in the Western Hemisphere by Skytrax.[7][8]

Location[edit]
The new Quito International Airport is located on the Oyambaro plain near the town of Tababela, about 18 kilometers (11 mi) east of Quito, Ecuador. The location was chosen in order to expand the capacity of the city's airport.
The old airport posed enormous risks because it was located in the middle of a mountainous city with high wind currents. It could no longer be expanded to accommodate larger aircraft or increased air traffic, and had been the scene of numerous incidents and accidents during the latter years of its operation.[9][10]

Construction began in 2006.[11] A re-negotiation of the financing contract for the airport was signed on 9 August 2010.[12]
At about 6:19 a.m. on July 2, 2012, an American Airlines Boeing 757 landed at the new airport with about 100 passengers on board. The flight was used to obtain the operating certificate for track tests. It also allowed testing of the performance of the electronics mounted for handling and transporting luggage and check-in counters for passengers and baggage. The aircraft departed from the existing Mariscal Sucre International Airport with Quito's Mayor, Augusto Barrera, local authorities, aviation staff, and the media to pre-test[clarification needed] boarding procedures at 5:30 a.m., later taking off at about 6:10 a.m. After a 9-minute flight, the flight landed at the new Airport. After landing and subsequent taxiing through taxiway 1 of the new airport, the airplane was greeted with a water cannon salute from two fire trucks.
Subsequently, visitors toured the facilities of the passenger terminal building and the north and south ends of the runway. After the tour, Mayor Barrera and authorities gave a press conference. There, the Mayor also stated that the airport would be ready at its inauguration, as well as enhancements to the E-35, and Interoceanic highways. "This is a day of joy and optimism for the city. At this point all you get joining goodwill," the official said adding that the social energy that the city should serve to build and make things.
Mayor Barrera also stated that this airport will be a remarkable leap in economic development of the city of Quito and that the strategic alliance with Quiport achieved with the resources generated by the new airport will be for all the people of Quito. "We are checking with the facts that transformation we're doing for the Quito we crave" he said. The mayor also reported that when the Mariscal Sucre Airport closes, construction of a new park will begin at the current site, and within days the bidding will begin for the 1st phase of the planned Quito Metro, as well as for the construction of a new bridge over the Chiche river.
The official inauguration was postponed from October, 2012, citing the progress of improvements to various access routes, the holiday season, and other factors. The new airport commenced operations on 20 February 2013 following the closure of the old airport the night before. The first flights scheduled to arrive at the new airport were TAME flight 302 from Guayaquil (domestic), and LAN flight 2590 from Lima, Peru (international). Arrival times were scheduled for 9:00 and 9:30 a.m. respectively.[13]

Reports, Presentations, & Public Filings
Toxic Reduction
Corporations must have a vested interest in their local and global environments.
At Linamar, we take pride in our initiatives for improving the environment and communities in which we operate.
One of our three main pillars of strategy is to constantly expand our green technologies.
We strive to continuously contribute to light-weighting, reduced emissions, and better fuel economy in the vehicles we manufacture products for.
Think Green.
Linamar is constantly trying to discover more sustainable ways to carry out operations.
It's crucial that businesses do their part in creating a sustainable business plan
As a manufacturing company we understand the need to minimize the impact of our operations and our products on the environment. We are committed to the continuous improvement of vehicle fuel economy, and the reduction of our consumption of precious resources. To learn more about the programs that we have in place to protect the environment, please visit our sustainability page.
Global Sustainability Initiatives
Sustainability Initiatives at The Centre
We perform extensive research design projects and work with customers on solutions that improve vehicle fuel economy. This includes active management of driveline systems, electric and hybrid vehicle applications, and component weight reductions.
Resource Consumption
We focus on reducing consumption of precious resources within our manufacturing facilities. Rooftop rain re-capture systems have been installed to supply natural rain water, which is used in the cooling systems of machining equipment in the place of municipally supplied water. In addition, many of our manufacturing sites have been retro-fitted with low-energy lighting to reduce electricity usage.
Renewable Solar Energy
We invest in solar panel installation on nearly all of the roofs of our manufacturing sites in Ontario. The usage of the available real estate for solar electrical production reduces the total electrical usage required and supplies power back to the local grid.
The Frank Hasenfratz Centre for Excellence in Manufacturing, opened in 2009, is a testament to our environmental commitment. This research & design, training and development centre has implemented the following initiatives to further minimize our ecological footprint:
Optimize Natural Lighting
The Centre reduces the need for electric lighting, connects people to the outdoors, and provides pleasing illumination at a fraction of the cost of the most efficient lights through the use of the following design elements:
12 x 40 foot automated skylight in the ceiling of the 10,000 square-foot Technology Hall
Glass curtain wall, strategically located on the North exposure which will not attract heat from direct sunlight
In collaboration with the natural lighting design elements, The Centre's living lighting system provides proper levels of illumination and reduces energy costs through the use of an automatic control system. The system allows the lights to:
Dim to low levels to save power when the daylight provides sufficient light
Be controlled by motion sensors and will automatically turn off when there is no movement in an area
Be individually controlled with separate switches to provide maximum control of lights ensuring that only those that are necessary are in use
The carpet in the Centre's Technology Hall, made from recycled soda bottles and recovered textile fibres, is a modular, flexible solution that naturally lends itself to less trimming waste and simple tile replacement. During construction of the building, the concrete demolition materials from the previous structure on the site were broken up and reused as a structural granular base under the parking lot, elminating the need for additional fill.
The living walls, also known as a green walls or urban gardens, are an aesthetically pleasing addition to our Technology Hall that provides new oxygen and filters clean air into the building.
Natural Cooling
The Centre uses properly designed, natural ventilation which creates uniform temperatures throughout the building and reduces the heating and cooling costs and carbon footprint by the use of an automated control system. The large glass curtain wall, adjacent to the cooling pond, will open as will the skylight, creating a flow of air that assists to regulate the indoor temperatures.
Efficient Climate Control
The Centre has implemented three smart solutions to further control the temperature of the facility:
The white rooftop attracts less heat than traditional asphalt rooftops, reducing the load on cooling systems
Infloor heating is installed in the concrete floors of the Technology Hall and along the edge of the floor beside the windows in the engineering offices
THE BASIC CODE
ON WORKING CONDITIONS
A key element of our social responsibility is our Basic Code on Working Conditions Policy. The Basic Code is a globally accepted framework that outlines an organization's commitment to eliminating practices that infringe upon human rights, align to guidelines for multinational enterprises and fosters the principles for balancing employee satisfaction and illustrates our desire to be not simply an employer of choice globally but also a socially responsible corporation.
The guiding principles set forth in this Code require that we:
foster an employee environment of opportunity and mutual respect;
ensure our global operations, do not utilize child or forced labour, employees are free to work without intimidation, harassment or undue influence;
remain committed to the continuous improvement of workplace health and safety;
ensure our products' raw materials are comprised of "DRC conflict free" minerals in accordance with the Conflict Free Sourcing Iniative and ensure our suppliers do the same (see www.conflictfreesourcing.org)
focus on the satisfaction of the stakeholders on each leg of the Linamar Stepping Stool (i.e. Employee, Customer, Financial)
abide by all applicable environmental laws; and
seek suppliers who agree to commit to the same principals in an effort to ensure adequate working conditions across our supply-chain.
Our Ethics for Everyone program is available for not only company personnel, but also shareholders, customers, suppliers and members of the community to report concerns regarding our compliance with this Code or any other issues they may have with the ethical behavior of the company.
To learn more about the Linamar Commitment, please review the following policy statements.

Guelph General Hospital
A significant contribution to the Guelph community was our donation to The Foundation of Guelph General Hospital's MRI & More Campaign. This donation helped to fund the three campaign priorities: acquiring an MRI scanner, enhancing the emergency department care, and providing equipment for regional vascular surgery services. In recognition of this donation, the Emergency Department has been named after the company.
St. Joseph's Health Centre
In an attempt to further improve the healthcare system within the region, another significant donation was made to St. Joseph's Health Centre to fund an auditorium, which will act as a gathering place with the flexibility to host various meetings and events in order to help patients stay connected to their community.
At Linamar, we believe that a simple corporate donation does not allow for enough direct involvement in the community. Each year there are a variety of community events, internal fundraisers and raffles held by the company that engage the entire employee base in this worthwhile cause. In the 2014 campaign, Linamar raised over $700,000.

Cornish Enterprise has developed a very powerful and purpose-built cleaning system. Located at the control consoles are the Start, Stop and Direction switches. The operator simply activates the system and directs the 600 psi to 900 psi of water flow to various pieces of equipment. Receiving Hoppers, Conveyors, Conveyor Manifolds, Destemmers, are all cleaned by the system, with options for macro bins, tanks and barrels. It is a closed-circuit system, which has quick-release connections for the addition of hand-held guns for general crush pad maintenance. All conveyors have manifolds carrying high-pressure nozzles that are directed at the back of the belt, drive & tail pulleys, juice-pan, and the face of the belts.
Safety is always top priority at Cornish Enterprise, and this package is no exception. The system can clean a selected circuit, a series of circuits for an overlapping time-out progression and/or run the manual mode using long-range, hand-held guns. These guns adjust from a soft fog to a ridged stream.

GAINESVILLE – For the second year in a row, Gateway Domestic Violence Center has passed a major milestone in its campaign to build a new emergency shelter, just in time for Christmas.
Gateway to 2020, the capital campaign to build the new facility, has passed its original $2.5 million fundraising goal. The updated campaign goal is $3 million, and Gateway now has $461,834 left to raise.
Earlier this month at a "thank you" reception for board members and major campaign donors, Gateway Executive Director Jessica Butler gave an update about how far the campaign has come and where it's headed next. Currently community contractors are working on bids to build the new shelter, and the organization showed off renderings and plans for the site.
The original $2.5 million fundraising goal was based on multiple consultations with construction professionals, but it became clear in 2018 that the amount would need to be adjusted.
"Due to rising construction costs and the desire to start building on sound financial footing, the board made the decision at its March 2018 meeting to raise the campaign goal from $2.5 million to $3 million," Butler said. "This is not a decision the board took lightly, but we feel it will best position Gateway to continue its mission the day we open the doors of the new shelter."
Last Christmas the campaign had its application for funding in the 2018 Round of the Competitive Affordable Housing Program (AHP) approved and was awarded $720,000, pushing the organization past the $2 million mark.
"We've been overwhelmed by the generosity of the community in its support of the campaign, and we are hopeful they will help us reach the finish line," Butler said, adding that group's goal is to break ground early next year and relocate by the end of 2020. "These are exciting times, and we wouldn't be here without the support of the generous individuals and businesses of our community."
For more information about Gateway to 2020 including naming opportunities, contact 770-539-9080 or click here.
About Gateway to 2020
Gateway needs a new facility so that it can continue to effectively meet the safety and support needs of women and children fleeing domestic violence. The shelter was built in 1984. Since that time, the community's population has grown from 80,278 to 202,148 people.
The current lease expires on December 31, 2020, and Gateway must relocate before that time. Additionally, the demand for shelter space has increased significantly in recent years, requiring Gateway to overcrowd the shelter and book hotel rooms for families. During the 12-month period from July 1, 2018 – June 30, 2019, Gateway housed an average of 20 people per night in the 18-bed emergency shelter.
Gateway's current goal is to raise $3 million dollars. As of December 2019, Gateway has raised just over $2.5 million. Gateway has purchased land, developed plans and plans to break ground in 2020. The new facility will be near public transportation and employment opportunities for clients. When this new facility is finished, Gateway will increase its capacity in the emergency shelter from eight bedrooms to 12 bedrooms and will increase its transitional housing program from 10 apartments to 12 apartments.

Silent as the Grave and Blood is Thicker Than Water by Paul Gitsham
May 31, 2015 by John Raab
By John Raab
It's a busy time for author Paul Gitsham, who in addition to launching book three in his popular DCI Warren Series, has also released a short novella called BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER.
The Big Thrill caught up with Gitsham to talk about the long and short of writing, plus, the inside scoop on SILENT AS THE GRAVE, the third instalment of the series featuring DCI Warren Jones. In this book, things get personal for the gritty cop as he investigates the grisly murder of a former gardener. To find the killer, Jones must go up against criminal conspiracy, a ruthless gangster, and the haunting truth of his past.
You have two new books out—one is a short story called BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER. Is this a prequel to your full length novel, SILENT AS THE GRAVE?
BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER is a stand-alone DCI Warren Jones story, set between book two, No Smoke Without Fire, and book three, SILENT AS THE GRAVE. Like many writers, I have a file of story ideas that I'd like to share, some of which need a full novel to tell properly, and others, which are naturally shorter. BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER serves two purposes, really. First, it's a little something for my readers to keep them happy until the next book is available. And second, it's a way into the series for readers new to Warren Jones. I decided to include a short preview of SILENT AS THE GRAVE, both as a teaser for my fans, and as a taster of my writing for those deciding if they want to commit their time to an unknown character.
Give us an inside look into SILENT AS THE GRAVE.
The story, like the first two in the series, takes place in Warren's first year as Detective Chief Inspector at Middlesbury CID. After the prologue, it starts with the discovery of the body of a retired gardener and his dog. There doesn't seem to be any motive for the attack and forensic evidence is lacking. Then Warren is approached by his disgraced predecessor who claims to know the reasons behind the killing. Furthermore, he reveals that Warren has a personal connection to the murder.
This takes Warren to a very dark place and he revisits traumatic events from his past. As the story unfolds, Warren finds himself fighting dangerous foes both from the past and the present, placing his career and his family in danger.
Now that you are on the third book of your DCI Warren Jones series, what surprises have your encountered with the characters since the start?
The characters have really started to take on lives of their own. Although I had some ideas about where the main players would find themselves—and I have their personal journeys mapped out for several more books—they are now starting to write themselves. The relationship between Warren and his second-in-command, Detective Inspector Tony Sutton, has really started to grow and mature. They start very antagonistic, but we eventually start to see their dynamic grow into one of mutual trust and friendship. Furthermore, his immediate superior, Detective Superintendent John Grayson, has turned out to be a much more complex individual than he at first seemed. I'm not sure that even I have the full measure of the man, but I'm enjoying learning about him!
Finally, Warren's wife and her parents have become more important. Susan is Warren's rock; the person who grounds him. On the other hand, her parents—the domineering Bernice, and the hen-pecked Denis—grow in importance and we see aspects of their personality that weren't apparent in the first books. They still supply a valuable source of comic relief, yet I am finding them to be so much more important.
Who is DCI Warren Jones?
Warren is something of an everyman. When we first meet him, he has only just been promoted to DCI and The Last Straw (book one) charts his first murder inquiry as a Senior Investigating Officer. He took the post at Middlesbury as a stepping stone to bigger things and wasn't prepared for the maelstrom of politics and back-stabbing that this small market town would inflict upon him.
When I was developing Warren, I was adamant that I wanted to keep away from the popular tropes of a battle-worn detective, with a messed up personal life and drinking problems, etc. I have nothing against those types of characters, but they already exist—and they weren't something I felt qualified to write about. In the early days I twisted myself up in knots trying to invent some new take on the detective that we hadn't seen before. It wasn't until I was seriously contemplating a one-legged character with an eye patch that I realized I was trying too hard. Warren is—for want of a better word—normal. So I decided to write him organically. Along the way I incorporated some of my own personality quirks and before I knew it, he was a fussy eater, with an embarrassing taste in eighties pop music, and a stable home-life. Remarkably, that seems to have stuck a chord.
As the books progress, we see that he does have a troubled past that still influences him today, but he still passes what I call the "Friday night test"—that is, I could see myself enjoying a pleasant pint with him on the weekend. To my surprise, my editor's first question at our first meeting was "we really like Warren—what's going to happen to him in later books?" I hope that my readers will come to care about Warren as much as I do.
What can fans expect to see from you and series in the future?
The first three books, and the short, take place in the first year of Warren's posting. Because of the time it takes to write a book, this means that in the real world, a few years have passed. So I have decided to jump forward. The next time we see Warren, he will have been in post for about three years. He will have grown in experience and his life with Susan will have moved to a new level. The great thing about doing this means that I have something of a blank canvas to play with again. Key characters will have moved forward—they will still be the same people that we've already met, but with new nuances—and little clues and hints that I slipped into the first books will now become more important. I wouldn't want to give too much away, but let's just say I have plans to change the status quo significantly in future books with a couple of huge (and not always pleasant) surprises.
Another reason to bring the timeline closer to the present is that the world has changed, giving me new directions to explore. The U.K. government's unfathomable decision to close the world-leading Forensic Science Service and privatize its functions has opened up a realm of story possibilities. New technologies will bring both opportunities and challenges for the police service, and a change in the political landscape has seeded several new ideas.
Positive feedback from readers for the short story has convinced me to write more of these little teasers in the future, alongside the regular novels, so keep an eye out.
Warren has a lot more stories in him and I'm loving telling them to the world!
Paul Gitsham started his career as a biologist: after gaining a PhD in molecular biology, he worked in laboratories in Manchester and Toronto, before retraining as a science teacher. Along the way he had spells as the world's most over-qualified receptionist and spent time working for a major UK bank, ensuring that terrorists, foreign dictators and other international ne'er do wells hadn't embarrassed the institution by managing to deposit their ill-gotten gains in a Children's Trust Fund.
Paul's final school reports from primary school said that he would never achieve anything if his handwriting didn't improve; a somewhat kinder note urged him to become the next Roald Dahl. If anything, his handwriting has got worse and, unless Mr Dahl also wrote police procedurals under a pseudonym, he has failed on both counts.
Paul is the author of the DCI Warren Jones series. The first two books in the series, THE LAST STRAW and NO SMOKE WITHOUT FIRE have both been Amazon bestsellers. A third book in the series is due out in 2015, with more in the pipeline. Paul lives in the East of England in a flat with more books than shelf space.

25 Best Things to Do in Budapest
This post covers 25 top things to do in Budapest and includes nighttime, free, as well as family-friendly events and activities.
Disclosure: While our recommendations are always unbiased, we may receive a small share of sales through some of the links below at no cost to you. See the full text.
1. Ride the Funicular
The most enjoyable way to reach Buda Castle is by riding the funicular tram, one of Budapest's top attractions.
You can't beat the views overlooking the Danube, the Chain Bridge, and the Pest side of the city as you glide up the mountain.
The funicular was opened in 1870, rebuilt after being bombed in World War II, is now a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Tickets cost HUF 1,200 ($4) one-way, and HUF 1,800 ($6) for a return, less for children.
Visit their website for information on opening times.
2. Stand atop Buda Castle
Buda Castle sits atop a plateau that overlooks the Danube. Various palaces and royal residences have existed on this site since 1247.
Today the Castle is home to the Budapest History Museum, the National Szechenyi Library, and the Hungarian National Gallery.
It is also part of a complex of buildings that includes Fisherman's Bastion, Mattias Church, The Hospital In the Rock Nuclear Bunker Museum and the Houdini Museum.
Underneath the castle is what is known as the Labyrinth, made up of tunnels and caves used over the years by the inhabitants of the castle as everything from a shelter, a hiding place, storage, a prison, a harem, and more.
Changing of the guard takes place every hour. On the last Saturday of the month, the changing of the guard is accompanied by music.
The grounds and courtyards of Buda Castle are free to enter. Those with the Budapest Card get free entrance to two of the museums on site. Various free walking tours offer a tour through the Buda Castle grounds. Private tours can be had as well.
3. Climb Fisherman's Bastion
Fisherman's Bastion, part of the Buda Castle complex, sits atop Castle hill, giving it one of the best views of the city.
It was built in the early 1900s to celebrate the birthday of the Hungarian state and had to be restored after being badly damaged in WWII.
The 7 turrets of this Disney-like building are said to represent the 7 Hungarian tribes who settled the area in 895.
Open every day, the price for entrance is HUF 1000 ($3.33) for adults and HUF 400 ($1.33) for students. A discount is given if you have the Budapest Card.
There's also a well-reviewed fine dining restaurant, Halaszbastya, on-site, that, as expected, has amazing views of the city.
Visit here for hours and information. Or, consider touring with one of the cities free walking tour companies.
4. Cross the Chain Bridge
Chain bridge is the oldest of the 8 bridges that connect the Buda and Pest sides of the city and the best known.
The full name, Széchenyi Chain Bridge, is after Count István Széchenyi. He vowed to push for the building of the bridge after being stuck on the Pest side of the Danube for a week during bad weather.
The Pontoon boat that usually ferried folks each way could not run and he missed his father's funeral.
Cross this gorgeous bridge, one protected by stone lions on each end, day or night, by foot or by bus. The same buses that cross the bridge, numbers 16 and 105, take you to Buda Castle.
If you're looking for the "love padlocks" found on so many bridges, they've been removed.
Learn more about the Chain Bridge here and others, such as the Liberty and Széchenyi bridges, here.
5. Soak in the Széchenyi Spa Baths
Budapest's thermal springs and the stunning architecture of the pools built above them make them a must-experience on any trip to Budapest.
It's said that the pools have the power to heal, helping everything from arthritis to respiratory disorders.
Szechenyi is one of the most impressive. This bath is located in City Park and includes 18 different pools, both indoors and outdoors. There are also massages, mud-baths, saunas, restaurants and more.
The baths are open from 6:00 am to 22:00 (10 pm).
To bypass lines for this busy place, consider a skip the line admission ticket. There are also some discounts to be had with the Budapest Card.
Note that there is separate pricing for lockers and cabins (lockers are for storing your belongings and cabins are for both changing and storing your belongings).
6. Take in a concert at Papp László Budapest Sportaréna
Known locally as just Arena, this well organized and popular sports and music venue is easy to get to by bus, taxi or the metro. It has the capacity to hold up to 12,500 people.
The Arena pulls all of the big international music acts, such as Lady Gaga, Metallica, and Harry Styles, along with hockey, boxing, operas, the circus and more.
Tickets can be found online here and an arena seating map found here.
7. Indulge in delicious foods at Great Market Hall
This largest and oldest covered market in Europe is just five minutes' walk from the city center. It's popular with both locals and tourists.
This is the place to try all of the best that Hungary has to offer food-wise (lángos, paprika, Hungarian spaetzle, pickles, cheese, soups and more.)
Visit the ATM ahead of time as most vendors only accept cash.
The market is closed on Sundays. Hours and information can be found here, and a listing of monthly cultural events can be found here.
8. Glide along the Danube during an Evening Sightseeing Cruise
Float past Budapest's floodlit landmarks on an evening cruise, with Parliament on one side, Buda Castle on the other, and much more.
Shorter tours offer a drink with your cruise, this cheap tour for example, while longer ones provide a meal by candlelight with live music, such as this one. There are also day tours and other options.
9. Climb to the top of St. Stephen's Basilica
St. Stephen's, is a stunning basilica located in the center of Budapest. It's the third-largest church in Hungary and one of its most important.

A real treat is found when you climb the 364 spiral steps to the cupola. Here you'll find one of the best viewing spots in Budapest, with the city laid out in all directions.

Entry is free, although a donation is suggested. For a guided tour of the site, visit here.
10. Parliament House

As many as 20,000 people were taken from the Jewish ghetto and executed along the banks of the River Danube, just after they were forced to remove their shoes.
These 60 pairs of rusted iron shoes represent the men, women, and children who were massacred and sit in testament to this devastating loss.
The moving exhibit can be found along the edge of the Danube Promenade near Zoltan street. Click here to find the location on a map.
13. Ramble around Margaret Island
Formed when three islands were merged into one, Margaret Island sits in the center of the Danube. It was named after St. Margit of Hungary, daughter of King Béla IV.
The island exists now as a recreational area but was once home of various churches and nunneries, the ruins of which can still be seen.
There are various modes of transportation for rent on the island, including bicycles, electric scooters, golf carts, and odd-looking little cars.
Food can also be found at various restaurants on the island in addition to swimming pools and thermal baths, a Rose Garden, a Japanese Garden, a musical fountain, and an Art Nouveau style water tower (which can be climbed).
Learn more about the history of Margaret Island here.
14. Pub Crawl through Ruins
Ruin bars are those built in the old abandoned spaces of the VII quarter in Budapest, buildings that were left to decay after WWII,

16. Visit Heroes Square
This large square at the end of Andrássy Avenue was built to commemorate the 1,000-year-old history of the Magyars, the clans who established the principality of Hungary. It's a beautiful spot to visit, day or night.
The statues representing the leaders of those 7 tribes stand below a column topped with a statue of Archangel Gabriel.

18. Disappear into the House of Houdini
Harry Houdini, the world's most well-known magicians, was born to a Jewish family in Budapest.
After immigrating to America with his family, where they lived in uncertainty and in great poverty, Houdini spent years building his repertoire. He would eventually become one of the most famous men in the world.

21. Stroll up Andrassy Avenue
This elegant boulevard and World Heritage Site is often referred to as the Champs-Élysées of Budapest. It was built to connect City Park & Heroes Square to the north and the City Center to the south.

Today, cafes, restaurants, cultural buildings, luxury stores, and apartments dot each side of the street.
At only a mile and a half long it is easily walkable. Some hop-on-hop-off bus tours head up the avenue around Heroes Square (trips which are discounted with the Budapest Card), and the Millennium Underground Railway, the first subway line in Europe, also runs north and south along Andrassy Avenue.
22. Head Underground with a Caving Tour
Under your feet in Budapest are a series of caves, formed by the same thermal springs that feed the cities spas.
There are at least 200 of these natural caves in the hills of Buda, including the Labyrinth under Buda Castle.
If you want to step out and try something a bit more adventuresome tour-wise, consider joining a caving tour. Guides lead a small group on multi-hour tours through the caves and tunnels underground.
Guests say you should be in reasonable shape and not severely claustrophobic. Wear good shoes!
23. Budapest Zoo and Botanical Gardens

This railway line runs through the scenic Buda hills, stopping are various recreational spots.
The most interesting aspect of this railway though is the fact that it's run by children aged 10-14 (although under the supervision of adults).

Renewed tension disrupts UN construction projects in Gaza Strip
IRIN/Ahmed Dalloul
Rafah Crossing between Gaza and Egypt.
More than 20 vital United Nations construction projects for schools and housing in Gaza are stalled, and social and economic conditions are worsening due to the closure of crossings with Israel as clashes have increased, the top UN envoy for the Middle East warned today.
"I sincerely hope that the Israeli authorities will fully adhere to their commitment to reopen Gaza for construction materials for UN projects", UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Robert Serry said after a visit to Gaza, where a ceasefire ending eight days of fierce fighting between Israel and Gaza's ruling Hamas in 2012 has started to fray with renewed rocket attacks against Israel and Israeli reprisals.
"I am worried we are seeing more and more signs that the understanding on a ceasefire reached in November 2012 is eroding in both of its main requirements – the end of all hostilities and the opening of the crossings for people and goods.
"During the past two months, we have seen more rockets being fired at Israel, border incidents, and Israeli retaliatory operations causing death or injury to civilians. The United Nations condemns the rise in violence, and all parties must act in accordance with international law."
In December, Israel agreed to resume the transfer of construction materials for UN projects in Gaza, where the world body is working on a "critical" $500-million package to build schools, social housing, and water and sanitation facilities, but clashes with Israel have since increased and the work has been stalled since November.
Mr. Serry stressed that imports of construction materials have dramatically decreased, lamenting the fact that the closure by Egypt of illegal tunnels beneath its border with Gaza has not been turned into an opportunity to increase the entry of such materials through legal crossings.
He welcomed the recent decision to allow in 1,000 tons of cement and other materials for flood relief, but stressed that imports of construction material for the private sector through legal crossings remain essential for Gaza's economy while ensuring that it is not be diverted from its intended peaceful purposes. He also voiced the hope that the Rafah crossing with Egypt would soon resume normal operations.
Mr. Serry visited the Gaza City paediatric hospital, which has been affected by frequent power cuts due to the precarious energy situation in the Strip. "I was heartened to see that this children's hospital is one of the facilities that benefit from the fuel emergency safety net created by the United Nations through the generous contributions of Turkey and the Islamic Development Bank, which is securing continuity of vital services," he said.
"However, this is but a stop-gap measure, and more must be done to address Gaza's chronic energy problems. Energy is the basis for everything – whether desalination, private sector growth, or health services. Short-term solutions, such as the generous donation of Qatar to the Gaza power plant, remain essential.
"But we must also look to the medium term," he added, voicing UN support for the Palestinian Authority's request to establish a power line from Israel into Gaza for better and more cost-efficient access to energy.
"Ultimately, only the reunification of Gaza and the West Bank under the legitimate Palestinian Authority, based on the PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization) commitments, can pave the way to a durable solution for Gaza, as part of political progress towards peace."
The Authority, headed by President Mahmoud Abbas, controls the West Bank from its headquarters in Ramallah and endorses the PLO commitments to seek peace with Israel based on the existence of two states, Israel and Palestine, living side by side within secure borders.
Hamas, which ousted Fatah from Gaza in fighting in 2007, does not recognize Israel's right to exist. Israel has severely restricted the entry of goods and materials into the Strip since Hamas seized control.

Our customers appreciate the level of service they receive from May Harris and below you can see just a few comments from some of our satisfied customers.

We would be very happy to recommend their services."
"We have used the services of May Harris for more than a year now and have always been pleased with the standard of cleaning provided to our large offices and warehouse, which because of the nature of our business can be difficult to maintain. In addition to the daily cleaning service provided, we have, on various occasions, needed maintenance support which May Harris also provide through their maintenance division. They always respond in good time and carry the work out with minimum fuss and to the highest standards.
We would not hesitate to recommend them in either a cleaning services provision role or that of a maintenance contractor as the attitude of management and staff is always positive and helpful."

Many thanks from all of us at Distributor Systems International."
"May Harris have been providing us with cleaning and building maintenance support to our office in Orpington since April 2011. May Harris is an amazing company with good old fashioned values that are rarely experienced nowadays. They are professional, reliable, trustworthy, courteous and quick to deal with any problems that may occur. A real breath of fresh air and a huge improvement on both our cleaning and maintenance contracts we had previously. In the past year, they have improved our building in many ways, including cleaning, painting to the exterior, numerous repairs and some wonderful bespoke carpentry that has enhanced our reception.

The depth of a Highland Winter may seem an ill-advised time to embark on exploring the submerged passages of Uamh nan-Claigg ionn, The Cave of Skulls, Scotland's deepest cave. But I had a lull in my diary and besides after dragging my kit down five vertical drops and numerous constricted crawls I'd be convincingly 'out of the wind'.
Cave diving in the Scotland is like most of the UK, specialising in tight, serpentine crawls, long abseils and muddy water (or watery mud)… and the sites are normally a bloody a long way from the car. There aren't many fat UK cave divers.
We were filming this little jaunt for the BBC's Adventure Show. The plan was for Stu Keasley to film me up top and in the initial section and I'd self-shoot on a small hand-held inside the rest of the system. I had to carry one of the heaviest rucksacks of my life – twin seven litre cylinder, side-mount harness, climbing harness, 105 metres of rope, torches, reels, abseiling, ascending and anchoring kit and my camera – about 60kg in all. Fortunately it was only about a mile and a half from the end of the nearest road, unfortunately it was winter, the road was blocked, so it was two and half…uphill.
I'd investigated a few other sites the day before so, after Sherpa-ing my load up through the snow, I was gifted the opportunity to pull on a partially frozen wetsuit whilst simultaneously blaspheming enough to offend most major religions. Finally kitted up it was time to descend into the underworld. The entrance is large cavity in the ground, overarched by an eldritch, gnarled tree with beards and bunting of moss and lichen hanging into the icicle-encrusted darkness. Once I abseiled down and entered the system I could feel the rise in temperature as the warm earth enveloped me. The first awkward bend and low crawl brought the reality of my predicament. It was impossible to drag or push all my equipment in one go so I'd have to shuttle, re-doing each section four or five times. The first crawl is followed by two abseils, with one the most awkward take-off I've ever encountered.
Up to this point it had been narrow rifts, low crawls and small spaces. That all changed after the second abseil. I sidled through a narrow crack and stepped out into an immense cavern; standing on a boulder-strewn ledge half way up it's walls. The roof soared above me, tapering to a point, as the ground fell away into a shallow plunge pool. Anchoring the rope and strapping all my kit on I swung out into the abyss. I find myself abseiling on a near-weekly basis but never with this much weight on. I treble-checked the anchor points before I took a deep breath and that first small step….
This vertical descent was followed by the House of Cards, so called because slabs of rock, shaped like giant playing cards, have fallen from above and become precariously wedged against one and other at convoluted angles leaving only a low, narrow space beneath. As I heaved and slithered through the gravel and water I kept reminding myself that the chaotic structure above me had probably stood for centuries and wasn't likely to move anytime soon…("are you sure?" said the voice in my head "besides Torbet" he went on "I'm no expert in geology, so neither are you").
Safely through, and having shuttled all the kit, I came to the last two abseils. Not the longest but the most fun. The first was down a short waterfall into a thigh-deep plunge pool and the second has you lowering yourself down through an hourglass effect. It starts spacious enough before narrowing to a point where you're forced to turn your head to the side and bounce to get your chest and backside through before flaring out wide again. Finally you reach the bottom of the cave, but, if you're a diver, not the end.
To reach the first sump required me to slide through an extremely low crawl. Unfortunately this had been made considerably tighter by the gravel, silt and debris washed in over the winter. The height was less than 25 cm and water covered the lower 15…and I am not built to cave. Too many years rock-climbing and carrying large rucksacks up large hills means I don't possess the wiry, whippet, racing snake physique of the hardened caver…so I got stuck. Wriggling my way backwards I began excavating some of the larger rocks and gravel, trying to plough a furrow deep enough for me to squeeze myself through. With people waiting for me at the surface and overdue on my return time I had to leave, having failed to even reach the dive site. Morale was low. It was not aided by the thought of having to haul myself, and all that kit, back out of this hole.
On reaching the surface I was exhausted and the effort of bring up all the equipment on my own had done little to improve my mood. I had said I would dive the limits of the deepest cave in Scotland. Failure.
Then an epiphany struck…the kind that has you slapping yourself on the back for your intellect in solving your current dilemma only to realise a slap in the face would be more appropriate as the solution is so blindingly obvious the problem should never have occurred in the first place…I breathe out, forcing the last of my air away, feeling my chest deflate and contract…and slip through.
After lugging the last of my gear, bent over double, along a low tunnel I reach the first sump. It's a short, shallow U-bend and the silt washed in left me with only enough clearance to slip though on my belly. The final stretch is a smooth, wet, low passage that opens into a larger rift just before the terminal sump. I should have felt enthusiastic and excited at this point; to be honest I was just tired. I wanted to get in, see how far I could get and start the long haul back to daylight. I forced myself to focus, slipped into the dark waters and immediately felt the space around me constricting. I pushed less than a few metres in before the passageway narrowed and became impassable, forcing a feet first withdrawal.
We've known Andy for 16 years and over the last few he's made his name as a TV presenter, climber, diver, underwater explorer, paddler, free-faller, adventurer, author and speaker. Given his thick Aberdonian brogue, it's the last of these that's the most remarkable.
Big thanks to Andy for the words and images.

Ed Sheeran has said he has lost 20 kilograms after quitting beer and pizza.
The singer claims he has cut down on his bad habits on tour.
He told Australia radio station KIIS FM: "I'm watching what I eat and I'm staying inside.
"I used to be like nine stone (around 57 kilograms), and then I was like 15 stone (approximately 95 kilograms) and now I'm 11 stone (69.85 kilograms).
Sheeran recently made a surprise appearance at an Australian couples' wedding reception, performing the song 'Thinking Out Loud' for their first dance as a married pair.
The singer is currently touring Australia and recently took time out from playing gigs to film a cameo appearance in long-running Australian soap opera Home and Away.
"I got asked to do [Home and Away] and it sounded like it could be fun. I did Shortland Street in New Zealand as well and I'm sure if Emmerdale or EastEnders ever ask me in England I would do that as well.

Outbreak of late blight in tomato crops
A recent outbreak of Phytophthora infestans, or late blight, in UK tomato crops is likely to be a new strain of the disease, as symptoms have been seen early in the season on young plants.
Some existing plant protection controls are proving ineffective due to the apparent aggressiveness of this strain. The limited number of applications allowed for authorised protective and curative products for the disease during the growing season is also causing concern for growers, due to its early appearance.
AHDB's crop protection programme, SCEPTREplus, has responded quickly to the outbreak and will be conducting a trial this year to identify new potential options to control the strain.
Cathryn Lambourne, AHDB Crop Protection Scientist, said: "We were alerted to the issue in young plants in late March, the disease was confirmed and the genotype identified by David Cooke at The James Hutton Institute. We are working quickly to raise awareness of the emerging problem and also to help with seeking approvals for crop protection products for growers."
Introducing biosecurity measures and understanding cultural and environmental factors will also play an important role in helping growers to prevent and control the disease.
Gracie Emeny, AHDB Knowledge Exchange Manager, said: "Conditions to avoid for disease development are a combination of 10-20?C and high relative humidity. It's important to prevent the development of standing water and surface wetness, and to remove all infected plant material from the glasshouse."
Phytophthora are oomycetes, which are related to seaweeds and depend on free water for infection and spread. Symptoms of the new strain include brown stem lesions that start just above the graft union and spread along affected stems.
As part of an AHDB-funded project to develop on-site diagnostic testing for oomycetes, Tim Pettitt, senior research scientist at the University of Worcester, visited a nursery infected with P. infestans to help staff better understand the disease and minimise the risk of spread.
Information about the new strain, including symptoms, testing and diagnosis, biosecurity measures and cultural control options can be accessed here horticulture.ahdb.org.uk/phytophthora-infestans.
