    Extractions: C ANYON E XPLORERS C LUB What is the CEC? Membership Trip Schedule Trip Reports ... Photographs Canyon Explorers Club, Inc. is a nonprofit, all-volunteer-leadership, member-oriented outings club based on self-propelled, muscle-powered activities and devoted to various forms of wilderness exploration, including hiking, backpacking, skiing, kayaking, canyoneering and world travel. The Club also donates funds to provide financial relief for orphanages, students and displaced refugee population in the remote areas of the world. Canyon Explorers Club trips are run on a share-the cost, share-the-responsibility basis; leaders volunteer their time and services free of charge. Current membership number is about 450. The Club started in October of 1972 by organizing and leading a series of annual backpack outings that traversed the unmaintained and cross-country routes of the Grand Canyon; hence the name" Canyon Explorers". Through careful planning and group arrangements we are usually able to minimize costs, and as individual participants of share-the -cost, share-the-responsibility group travel, we acknowledge and accept responsibility for our own individual well-being and safety as well as the well-being, safety, progress and integrity of our group. All of our trips emphasize the out-of-doors and natural science. The trips vary in difficulty from strenuous backpacking and technical mountain climbing to quite easy hikes, tours and campouts. On many trips it is feasible to divide the group so that persons seeking different levels of activity can go on the same outing and have an enjoyable time. Most of our members live in Southern California, so most of our trips originate from there. However, with leader permission, members may join a trip at whatever location is most economical and convenient for them.

29. 1492 Variant Rules
    This variant seeks to recreate the uncertainty of the times when the world was largely unknown, by making the majority, of the playing board unknown to the players, who have to 'discover' it gradually like the early explorers.  
    http://www.spod-central.org/~psmith/diplomacy/1492.html
    
    Extractions: Universal Army/Fleet Rules Module Fourteen Ninety-Two A Diplomacy variant by Edwin Godfrey In fourteen hundred and ninety-two, Columbus sailed the ocean blue. With the benefit of hindsight, we know that he was to discover the Americas, and that other explorations were gradually to reveal the map of the continent as we know it. But to the men of that time the world might have turned out in almost any form, and all kinds of possibilities lay beyond the horizon, such as a quick route to Cathay, the land of Eldorado, the city of Atlantis or the kingdom of Prester John. Indeed, medieval scholars invented a highly sophisticated pantheon of monsters and creatures that were said to inhabit the unexplored lands. This variant seeks to recreate the uncertainty of the times when the world was largely unknown, by making the majority, of the playing board unknown to the players, who have to 'discover' it gradually like the early explorers. It is hoped that this will produce a combination of the merits of Diplomacy with some of the adventure of games such as Dungeons and Dragons. 0. The rules of Diplomacy apply unless otherwise stated. 1. The players represent the major maritime powers of Western Europe, and their units and supply centres at the start of the game are as follows: England: F Plymouth; F Liverpool (wc); A London France: F Brest; F Bordeaux; A Paris Portugal: F Lisbon; F Oporto; A Coimbra Spain: F Cadiz; F Bilbao; A Madrid 2. The first move is designated as Spring 1492, and the game continues in Spring and Autumn moves as in regular Diplomacy. 3. The map attached to these rules represents the Known World at the start of the game. However, this is only part of the complete playing board. Before the start, the GM secretly devises his own imaginary map of the rest of the World, which connects on all sides with the Known World, but need not have any resemblance to the real world as we know it. There should be a suitable balance of land and sea areas, with islands and continents to be discovered, and a sufficient sprinkling of supply centres. Some of the supply centres may be occupied by native armies, which have to be overcome before the centre can be occupied. It is suggested that the world should be "cylindrical" i.e. that the eastern and western edges of the board should connect, with impassable barriers of ice to the north and south, but a flat earth or any other design is not ruled out. The GM may incorporate ideas of his own into his own design, so long as he gives sufficient information to the players when they encounter them. 4. When any of a player's units enter an area on the edge of The Known World or outside the Known World, the GM privately notifies that player of the number and shape of all adjacent areas, whether they are land or sea, whether they contain a supply centre and whether they contain any foreign units. Players may of course pass on information to each other, or mislead the other players with false maps. 5. A player who is the first to discover an area in this way may give it an appropriate name, which will be used in the game thereafter. If more than one player chooses a name, the GM selects the best. Failing this, the GM may choose a name. If a player subsequently conquers the area he may rename it. 6. Moves are reported in the game reports only to the extent that they take place within the Known World. Supposing that ABC and DEF are the names of off-board areas, some examples of orders end their reporting might be as follows: Order: F(ABC) Stand Report: F(OB) Order: F(ABC) - DEF Report: F(OB) Order: F(SAO) - ABC Report: F(SAO)-OB Order: F(ABC) - SAO Report: F(OB)-SAO Order: F(SAO) S F(ABC)-DEF Report: F(SAO) S F(OB) However, if an area outside the Known World has been discovered by all the players, moves are also reported to the extent that they take place in that area. 7. Builds take place as in regular Diplomacy. However, only the number of off-board supply centres owned by each player is reported, not their location (unless they have been discovered by all the players). 8. The following restrictions or additions to normal movement apply: (a) The areas of the Known World not divided into named provinces (designated as Rest of Europe) are impassable. (b) A player's units may not enter the home territories of another player. (c) Sea areas in the Known World (but not outside it) may contain any number of fleets. The effect of these rules is that conflicts may only take place outside the Known World or in the named land areas at the edge of the Known World. (Colonial wars frequently took place without involving a European conflagration.) However, units within the Known World may give support to units moving or standing in combat areas. 9. Fleets have the following additional capabilities: (a) On leaving a home supply centre, a fleet has the option of moving either one or two spaces (cf. the pawn in chess) so long as the move does not take it outside the Known World. Only those unknown areas which are adjacent to the fleet at the end of its move are disclosed to the player concerned. This rule (combined with rule 8(c) above) gives the players a chance to explore in directions other than those opposite to their home territories. (b) Fleets may move directly from EMS to BLA and vice versa. 10. For combined operations of armies and fleets, the same rules apply as in the Abstraction variant. See the Universal A/F rules module . 11. (a) Any native armies which the GM places in supply centres will not, unless the GM specifies otherwise, have any movement capability and if they are dislodged. they will be removed from the Board. (b) (Optional rule) A native army which is dislodged is transformed into a treasure unit (T) with no offensive of defensive strength, which may be transported by an army or a fleet. A treasure unit may be passed from one army or fleet to another by the first unit leaving the relevant space without the T unit, and the second unit occupying the space. Moving units should specify whether they are transporting the treasure. Units of another power may capture a treasure unit either by occupying the space where its previous holder has left it or by annihilating the unit transporting it If a player succeeds in transporting a treasure unit back to one of his home centres, the unit is removed from the board, but the player concerned is thereafter entitled to an additional build over and above his total supply centre count. 12. The game is won by the first player to control a majority of the off-board supply centres, the total number of which will be announced by the GM at the start of the game.

    Extractions: Raymondville, Missouri, USA Perhaps the word travelers is more fitting for such an experience, but we have both had extensive experience with adventure learning projects and in the course of events have become acquainted with numerous present-day explorers of world renown. Since we have always been members of the support teams this is our first firsthand adventure of this sort so in our minds it is truly exploration. We will do our very best to report situations, events and experiences in a professional manner, but we feel it necessary to advise participants that it is very likely that there will be times when our enthusiasm is easily recognizable as that of novice explorers! We anticipate an inspiring experience and will do our best to communicate the flavor of the entire adventure to you. Return to Table of Contents

    Extractions: Languages Spanish Portuguese German Italian Korean Arabic Japanese Time, Inc. Time.com People Fortune EW InStyle Business 2.0 LONDON, England A bar of chocolate dating back 100 years and belonging to pioneering Antarctica explorers has been auctioned for £470 ($686). The 10-centimetre (four inch) chocolate bar was part of a 3,500-pound load of cocoa and chocolate taken by British explorer Captain Robert Scott on his 1901-1904 expedition to the frozen continent. The trip was one of the first major attempts to explore the interior of Antarctica. Scott died in 1912 after his unsuccessful race against Norwegian Roald Amundsen to be the first man to reach the South Pole. The British explorer and his team arrived at the pole only to find the Norwegian flag had already been planted there five weeks earlier, on December 11, 1911. The chocolate bar was auctioned at Christie's on Tuesday at a special Polar Auction which also included the diary of Alexander Macklin, the assistant surgeon who was on The Endurance, a polar exploration vessel that sunk off the coast of Antarctica in 1915.

    Extractions: Cook's final voyage began on July 12, 1776. He was aboard the Resolution with a crew of 112. His sister ship was the Discovery with 70 men aboard. The purpose of his third voyage was to find the fabled Northwest Passage. Unlike other explorers who attempted to find this area of the world, Cook attempted a route from the Pacific side. Cook visited some of his favorite islands in the Pacific and made stops in New Zealand and Tahiti. On January 18, [1778], Cook sighted the Hawaiian Islands for the first time. He named them the Sandwich Islands after his friend, the Earl of Sandwich . The natives rowed out to meet his ships and were very friendly. After discovering so many islands in the Pacific where the people had a common language and similar customs, Cook marveled at how the Polynesian people had spread themselves from island to island. Europeans were not the only ocean-faring people. Indeed, the Polynesians had made their own explorations thousands of years before. The Hawaiians thought that Cook was a god and that his men were supernatural beings. After two weeks of trading and good relations, the ships departed heading north. By March 7, Cook reached the coast of present-day Oregon and followed the coastline north to Alaska and west through the Bering Strait. By August, Cook concluded there was no Northwest Passage and decided to head for warmer waters for the winter.

    Extractions: Multi-cultural Britain ... Connecting Futures Welcome to the Explorer series, brought to you by ukonline.gov.uk and the British Council. World wise The closest many people get to a taste of other cultures is a Chinese takeaway or a trip to the cinema. A survey of young people in Essex showed their favourite food is pizza, but they might never get to taste the real thing in Italy. Travelling abroad is easier than you think - and it needn't cost a lot either. There are lots of exchange programmes for young people. They can be a great way of going abroad for the first time as you'll often go in a group with people you know. Seeing places you've only heard about, finding out that people in other countries aren't so different and having a chance to be independent are all good reasons to go abroad. It can also help you learn languages. But you can also find out about the way other people live without leaving Britain. The UK has people from all sorts of cultures - so you don't need a passport to broaden your mind.
