OT: Be more punctual, Ecuadorians are urged |
Be more punctual, Ecuadorians are urged
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/3154212.stm
Fire sirens will sound and church bells ring out at midday around
Ecuador to mark the launch of the government's campaign to eradicate
sloppy timekeeping - a vice which it says is hampering the country's
economy.
According to the government, each Ecuadorian is held up unnecessarily
by 15 minutes a day, which it calculates costs the country the
extraordinarily precise sum of $723,947,653 and 13 cents.

Eruption holds key to tortoise genes
http://www.guardian.co.uk/life/dispatch/story/0,12978,1058618,00.html
Thursday October 9, 2003
The Guardian
The genes of some Galapagos tortoises bear the stamp of a volcanic
eruption 100,000 years ago that nearly wiped them out, scientists say.
Each of the five volcanoes on Isabela Island at the western edge of
the Galapagos archipelago hosts a different giant tortoise.
But the residents of Volcano Alcedo have far less genetic variation
than those on the other volcanoes, Luciano Beheregaray and his
colleagues have discovered.
