How can i buy travel vouchers to give as a gift?
Doddsville
I would like to buy travel vouchers to give as a gift. They would be for travel originating in the UK - most likely to European destinations. Ideally they could be redeamed online and could be spent on both air travel and hotels. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
Zemple
You can buy airline vouchers directly from the airline - most offer them on their website. Virgin Atlantic offers "Virgin Vouchers" in denominations of £5, £10, £20 and £50. They're sent out in a stylish wallet along with a list of all the places where they can be used. Here's the website w/ more info and where the vouchers can be used: http://www. thevirginvoucher. co. uk/info/w…

How do i remove water trapped in my travel mug?
Denham
Over time, my coffee travel mug has accumulated water that is trapped inside the thermos walls. When I empty the travel mug and let it dry; and then shake it; I can hear water inside the mug. It's an expenisve travel mug and don't want to throw it out. There's gotta be a way to get the water out without breaking it. Can anyone help?
Roca
lol. random question. i guess just deal with it, its not harming you is it.
Malvern
I had a great travel mug I use to use and the same thing happened. I no longeruse travel mugs that have the air space. I look for travel mugs that have double thickinsulation instead. Check out www. collapse-a-cup. com you may like the conveniencebetter.
Waldoboro
I am sure there is no way to remove the water without breaking the mug itself. Or at least without breaking the vacume that is within the mug to help keep it warm. Yeah it sucks, but I would say get a new one.
Penn Valley
What was said above is true. I'm sorry if it's expensive, but those things don't stay perfect forever. It's better to buy more cheap ones rather than spending a lot on an expensive one, then feeling the pain in your wallet when you have to throw it away.

If i was to travel in a straight line through space what is the probability of hitting something?
Ladoga
If I travel at infinite speed in a random direction through space, what is the probability that I hit something? Ignoring any crazy physics that make it impossible to do this. Basically, how full is space.
Fredonia (Biscoe)
I think the odds are pretty good. I would have to do the calculation but here is the assumption you can make to do it. You can assume that stars are the objects that you will hit and most of the stars are pretty much like the sun. So there are about 100Billion stars per galaxy and there are about 100Billion galaxies. And they are pretty much uniformly distributed out to a radial distance of about 13 Billion light years (or double that to account for the fact that they are moving away). You just have to look up what the radius of the sun is. This will be a pretty good approximation for the odds.
Milroy
Think about your question. At infinite speed you will go through the entire known universe in zero time and continue to other parts, and the extent of those are unknown. I think the probability is very close to unity that you will hit something within the known universe, let alone the unknown parts. Of course you have to define "hit". The universe has lots of gas clouds of varying density. Those would be the highest probability for you to hit. .
Shady Hollow
You would chart your course first, just as you do on the ocean, and believe me it is possible.
Aullville
first of all infinite speed is the term to be think about.... and if it possible then i think you can panitrate any object in the space what you hit... but still possibility is there so what i said is 100%
Butterfield
i think nearing 1.you know why? you will end up getting up nowhere because of the infinite curvature of space time which would develop around you because of the changes in the mass as per relatvity ( the mass would go up to infinity).i do allow you for infinite speed travel, but that curvature would ever suck up things to itself ( just like a very great black hole ). you would hit things before you knew it.
Asturias travel a visit to gijn the largest city in asturias
Elk City
On this gorgeous Tuesday morning, I had really enjoyed my local tour through Oviedo, the historic capital of Asturias, one of Spain's northern provinces.
Twentynine Palms
My expert local guide Liliana AusГn had taken me through the downtown and explained all the important sights to me.
Sanborn
On our walk downtown we had run into the festivities of La Balesquida, also called "Martes del Campo" (Tuesday in the Country) and followed a series of musical groups from the cathedral to the Campo de San Francisco Park.
Tremonton
I had received an introduction to Asturian bowling ("bolos" -- where the balls are thrown through the air), the famous spicy sausage rolls of Asturias and a "carbayon", Oviedo's typical almond pastry.
Kenly
The entire town was out celebrating on this special holiday. In the early afternoon I headed back to my hotel, the Barcelo Oviedo Cervantes Hotel, to meet hotel employee Paula Alvarez who was going to take me on a personal tour through the hotel.
Hollowayville
This newly constructed five-star property is among the top ranked hotels in the city and was opened in 2007.
Miami
The hotel features a variety of accommodations; Deluxe rooms for example, feature two washbasins and a jet shower while Deluxe Executive rooms have a hydro-massage bath with glass walls as well as a work area with a writing desk and a living area with a sofa.
Ocean Breeze Park
Deluxe family rooms are composed of two interconnected rooms which allow separate access to each room.
Lanagan
Junior Suites and Suites both feature separate living areas and all rooms are equipped with flat-screen televisions, mini-bars, work desks and a safe.
Clarence
The dГ©cor at the Barcelo Oviedo Cervantes Hotel is based on stylish combinations of browns, beige and orange tones with neutral accents and provides an elegant calm environment.
Miami Lakes
Paula explained that most of the guests currently come from Spanish cities such as Madrid, Barcelona and Bilbao.
Avocado Heights
An increasing number of travelers arrive from other European countries while clients from North America are still relatively few.
Progreso Lakes
We also saw some of the 12 state-of-the art meeting rooms, fully equipped with high-tech audio-visual facilities and high-speed Internet connections, before Paula took me to the main floor that is anchored by the "La Galatea" restaurant which specializes in high quality Asturian cuisine.
Candelero Arriba
The main floor Galatea bar welcomes visitors with its lively pink and green lighting and provides a great view out to the street.
Sterling
The Lobby Bar is another comfortable place where guests come to order room service and watch TV.
Hartsburg
Many of the hotel's guests like to gather here.
Espanola
After my personal tour through the hotel I briefly retreated to my room to recharge my batteries, but unfortunately my transformer shorted out.
Edmond
Considering how much photography and videography I do, it is absolutely vital for me to have a functioning charger for both my laptop and my camera.
Williams Bay
At 4 pm I was scheduled to meet my expert local tour guide Liliana again, this time in GijГіn, the largest city of Asturias which is located about 20 minutes north of Oviedo, right on the Atlantic Ocean.
Lake View
It became a priority for me to find a replacement charger.
King
The weather had progressively turned worse, and a very dark sky was now looming overhead.
River Road
I met Liliana at our agreed meeting point and asked her for her help in finding a charger.
Orange Lake
Unfortunately, sightseeing had to wait for a while until I was able to sort out my technical issues.
Lebanon
Liliana was eager to help and first took me to a big El Corte InglГ©s department store.
Parkline
Unfortunately they did not carry any travel transformers that would be able to convert European current for North American electrical devices.
Gruver
But Liliana, who is a native of GijГіn, really knows the area well and suggested another store, an electronics store by the name if Edimar, where I was able to buy a new functioning charger after all.
Mooresville
Thanks to Liliana's help this saved the day because I would now be able to download all my photos and videos again.
Athens
This was a huge load off my shoulders and I was able to rededicate myself to exploring GijГіn.
Reading
GijГіn is Asturias' largest city and has been settled since early human history and was an important regional city during ancient Roman times.
New Richland
Its centre is built on a small peninsula that juts out into the Atlantic Ocean and the city has grown to a population of over 270,000 people.
Oneida
During the 20th century GijГіn became a very industrial city, but following a decline in the steel and shipbuilding industries, the city changed its focus to become a centre of tourism, higher education and servicesOur destination for the early evening was indeed an educational institution: the Universidad Laboral de GijГіn is a huge complex that was built between 1946 and 1956.
Southfield
Local guide Miriam joined Liliana and me and started to explain this fascinating institution.
New Strawn
With a surface area of 270,000 square metres (almost 67 acres) it is the largest building in Spain.
Tioga
The Laboral University has a fascinating history: after a horrific mining accident in the mid 1940s, the then Minister of Labour created an orphanage for children that had lost their parents in this accident.
Plainfield
These children were also supposed to receive educational training in a utopian, self-sufficient city.
Perry
Over the years, this university has trained thousands of qualified tradesmen and engineers.
Vero Beach South
However, after an administrative reorganization the majority of the facilities became obsolete and felt into disrepair until 2001 when the government of Asturias started to breathe new life into this important institution.
Angels City
It repurposed the complex as the "Laboral City of Culture" which today houses organizations such as the Laboral Center for Art and Industrial Creation, the Faculty of Commerce, a School of Dramatic Arts and Vocational Dance, a church, a cafГ©, a theatre, an auditorium, and the Escuela Universitaria Jovellanos which teaches university programs in public administration, social work and tourism.
Mount Pleasant
As Miriam took us through the huge complex of buildings, I was absolutely amazed at the stunning architecture.
Edina
Although built in the mid 20th century, the buildings have a distinct classical appearance and the original architect borrowed themes from the Parthenon in Athens.
Oakport
A gigantic square with dimensions similar to those of the Piazza San Marco in Venice forms the centerpiece that is surrounded on three sides by three-story buildings with arcaded walkways.
Moberly
The western side of the complex is highlighted by a church and an enormous tower. Miriam took us to a room with an elevator that would whisk us to the top of the tower on the 17th floor.
Fairmount
Both the main floor and the room at the top of the elevator are decorated with brightly coloured hand-painted tile mosaics.
Russellton
When I stepped outside on the 360 degree balcony, I was awed by the breathtaking scenery that opened up in front of us.
Emerson
From high atop the tower I could really take in the size of this enormous complex.
South Weldon
With a height of 130 m, the tower is reminiscent of the famous Giralda tower in Seville and provides the best vintage point in all of GijГіn.
Pinon
Indeed it is currently the highest building in the Principality of Asturias.
Pilot Station
Back on the ground we visited the Laboral Church, which is the world's largest elliptical church.
Double Oak
The dome weighs approximately two thousand three hundred tons and is supported by twenty pairs of ribs without any columns.
Stockholm
Measuring 31 metres in diameter and 35 metres in height, the elliptical dome was constructed in only two months during the 1950s.
Rocky Mountain
The floor is made of solid marble; four giant columns of Pontevedra granite surround the altar.
Jemez Springs
During earlier years when the Jesuits were running a boarding school here, 1500 students had to attend mass here at the same time.
Birdseye
What an amazing, awe-inspiring structure…Then we went to the Laboral Theatre, a former assembly hall that has been transformed into one of the most magnificent theatre-auditoriums in northern Spain.
Harriman
The dimensions of this performance venue are similar to those of the Parthenon.
Dennison
We also visited several meeting rooms that faced the courtyard and featured floor-to-ceiling murals that illustrated the history of this institution.
Perkasie
The mining accident is depicted on these wall paintings; so are the orphans who are shown as children and also as the educated professional adults that they became.
Sun Valley
One of the murals highlights the battle between good and evil, and all the figures have highly realistic, individualized faces.
Tonkawa
I asked Miriam who wins the battle in the end and reassuringly she responded "the good guys".
Albion
This concluded our visit to the Laboral City of Culture and just as the sun started to set, Liliana took me to one more interesting place: with a heavy grey sky hanging overhead and daylight vanishing quickly, Liliana and I drove to the Fishing Quarter of GijГіn.
Topeka
This used to be a fishing port and today houses many pleasure craft that were swaying gently on the waves.
Burbank
As a native of GijГіn, Liliana loves the city and indicated that in five minutes on a bicycle she can be outside of the downtown, enjoying nature.
Gering
My guide also mentioned that GijГіn is a big centre of music and culture: Tina Turner, Bruce Springsteen, Prince and the Rolling Stones have all had concerts here.
Homer
With the International Festival of Cinema every November and countless other special events throughout the year, GijГіn never gets boring.
Georgetown
And the city is even in the Guinness Book of World Records for attracting the largest crowd of cider-pouring enthusiasts: over 7200 people came together to achieve the world record for simultaneous pouring of cider, the famous regional drink of Asturias.
Stickney
With my introduction to the two biggest cities in Asturias completed, I was now looking forward to exploring some of the magnificent nature experiences that this mountain region has to offer.
Washingtonville
I had to catch a good rest to get ready for my mountain biking adventure that was scheduled for tomorrow..

What type of law job involves a lot of travel?
Pitsburg
I want to be a lawyer because I am interested in law and politics but I also want to have a job that involves traveling. I am interested in corporate law because I also like the idea of working for businesses. I want to know if corporate lawyers travel for their jobs if not what type of lawyers do get to travel.

How long will it take the signals to travel to another celphone that is 100 km away?
Lytton
If your voice is transmitted by your cellphone at the speed of sound, how long will it take the signals to travel to another celphone that is 100 km away? With solution please. Thanks!
Maza
First find the speed of sound and if is in meter per second then convert it into kilometers per second by factor label methord which I already did for you. speed of sound at sea level = 1 225.044 kilometers / hour now u have your speed and we have to find the time it takes to travel 100 km, so we will use the equation that speed equals distance over time, now u can solve for time. V=x/tt=x/v=100km/1225.044km/hr =0.0816 hour or 4.9 minutes

Hypothetically could something travel faster than the speed of light if its traveling in a different medium?
Muscoy
My Optics lecturer said something about how since light travels in a vacuum, you could, potentially, have something travel faster in a different medium, one other than a vacuum. True or false?
Rio Verde
It has been done. Get something traveling in a vacuum just below the speed of light, and then whack it into a medium where it is now traveling at faster thant he speed of light in that medium. The particles that have had this done to them, slow down dramatically, and radiate their previous energy - its called Cerenkov radiation. So, yes - particles can exceed the speed of light, if they are in some medium other than a vacuum, but not for very long.
Monrovia
They've played some interesting games in the past 10 years with materials that have bizarre dispersion relations (a fancy way of saying how much the medium slows down any given frequency of light). One of the most surprising results was the demonstration of a wave traveling BACKWARDS at 300 times the normal speed of light. It turns out there was no contradiction; no information ever traveled faster than c. Rather it was just a feature of a wave moving that fast; not a real "object" at all. A more easily visualized example: If you shine a hypothetical perfectly focused laser pointer on a distant planet, in principal you could get the spot to move over the surface faster than the speed of light. But no single bit of information--no single photon--ever moved faster than c. Relativity allows what you might call "apparent" objects (like the spot where a laser pointer hits a surface) to move faster than c, but anything that carries actual information (like a photon, or a baseball) can't. At least, not by any means that we're yet aware of.
Nephi
A vacuum is supposedly space with no matter in it. Adding matter, such as air, slows light rather than speeding it up. You would have to put something other than matter in the space to get a different medium. So what else is there besides matter and no matter? However, in my Fractal Foam Model of Universes, space has substance (ether), and light propagates thru that substance like an acoustic shear wave in a solid. In most solids, pressure waves propagate faster than shear waves. I believe pressure waves propagate thru the ether at the speed of gravity, which is at least 20 billion times faster than light. It is not a different medium, but a different mode of wave motion.
Charleston Park
I would have to say false. Light is known to slow down anytime it enters a medium other than a vacuum. A vacuum offers no resistance to light. But here's a concept. Light is traveling toward you at the speed of light. You are traveling toward the light source at the speed of light. Therefore, you are traveling at twice the speed of light relative to the light traveling in the opposite direction you are traveling - relativity theory.
Hanover
Seven Hundred years ago, It was a well known fact that the world was flat. Some time ago it was also a well known fact that the earth was the center of the universe. Not 100 years ago It was a well known fact that black people were inferior. Bottom line, It is a current fact that the speed of light is the fastest speed anything in our universe can achieve. Years from now, this may change, and anything and any discovery is possible, but you're speculating on what we currently have not discovered how to prove and or discover. Your answer is false... for now.
Surfside
I find this extremely difficult to swallow, honestly. As any entity's density increases as it approaches light-speed, it's hard to believe anything could (given our current understanding) possibly travel any faster. As you approach this cosmological speed limit, an INFINITE amount of energy becomes necessary to shatter this barrier because, as you become increasingly heavier as your size contracts (Lorenz Factor), increasingly more energy is needed to push you, first, to the barrier and, then, past it. I may perhaps be ignorant of some critical information but what I've provided above is, in a nutshell, the very problem most physicists quote in rebuke of the possibility of Warp Speed, as it were. Hope it helps.
Waltham
If that medium bends time then yesbut u wouldnt need to with artificial gravity field
Inver Grove Heights
theres always something new to find out so i wouldnt say false. besides humans dont know everything.
Rangerville
true a simple thought in your brain can travel faster than the speed of light

Comparing online travel deals
Warner
Many travelers will be thrilled to locate low fares on flights headed to exotic destinations but with online travel comparisons, a knowledgeable traveler will know whether those prices reflect the differences in the level of service that all travelers will be provided by flight attendants while enroute.
Las Vegas
Some airfare rates will be promotional discount fares to offset the impact of fewer services.
Ramsey
Many major airlines have cut back on the types of drinks served during a flight and on the size of meals served to airline passengers along the way. Some travelers use online travel comparisons to learn the subtle differences in all flights scheduled on a specific day.
Shalimar
Other travelers will only be interested in learning the particulars of certain flights, because business plans demand that travelers arrive at the airport in time to attend meetings that have been planned months before.
Todd Creek
Many business travelers will use online travel comparisons to identify delays of all types.
West Bishop
These travelers will be review such pertinent information as arrival and departure times, and the online travel comparisons will identify which flights will subject passengers to long layovers at airports. The online travel comparisons available through many discount travel web stores will allow travelers to determine if traveling in groups is a worthwhile choice.
Westwood Hills
Seasoned travelers know first hand that group travel can provide deep discounts on airline fares but some are hesitant to travel to locations where lodging selections are poor.
Shannon
No discounts are worth a poor night's rest, and travelers have learned to make online travel comparisons a priority when traveling to places that they have never visited before. Some hotel travel packages will group four people in one hotel room to keep prices low.
Clinton
The intricate features of certain travel package requirements will be rarely defined in travel brochures but will be included in travel summaries.
Coyville
Travel package comparisons will make these features stand out online, especially when several other hotel travel packages only require two people to stay in each room.
Imperial-Enlow
Some travelers will have these travel packages revised to gain more privacy and forfeit other amenities that come with the travel package in order to obtain a private room. Travelers can use travel comparison tools to find the cheapest travel offerings on the internet throughout the year.
Holloway
The online travel comparisons are possible because travel search sites use high-grade software that is capable of considering the travel information on some of the best vacation sites in the world.
Grayling
The travel software will also identify small sized travel companies that have even lower fares and more amenities offered on special travel package deals. Some smaller sized internet travel companies do not devote a lot of money to advertising the onsite travel bargains created during the year.
Mono Vista
Instead, the travel site operators prefer to rely on the prowess of on-site content writers and search engine optimization efforts to make the travel bargains stand out smartly in the competitive field of bargain travel searches completed by prospective travelers.
Paradise
Those travelers who use search engines to complete online travel comparisons will most likely find several travel deals to exotic places and travel more for less throughout the year..
