Holiday insurance for over 65s with pre-existing medical conditions

Our policies cover you for cancellation, curtailment and trip interruption, so you can rest assured that, if you have to cancel or cut your holiday short for medical reasons, you will be reimbursed.
Some conditions require more information to ensure the cover is tailored to your specific needs, in which case, medical screening can be completed by answering a few simple questions, either online or through our UK contact centre.
It is very important that all pre-existing medical conditions are declared on your policy at the time of purchase to avoid medical bills if you need treatment in another country.
What does our over 65s travel insurance cover?
|Basic travel insurance
|Comprehensive travel insurance
Your tailor made policy
Let us know what you are planning to do when you are away and we can offer you optional cover for activities such as trekking, golf, yachting, cycling, badminton and more. If you're planning an action-packed holiday, or you want added peace of mind, our Comprehensive policy offers great protection, as well as plenty of additional cover options to tailor the insurance to your specific requirements.
Remember that with Staysure travel insurance for over 65s, you'll be covered if anything unforeseen happens to you or your family. Our Comprehensive travel insurance covers you for up to £2,000 in lost baggage and up to £10 million for medical and repatriation cover.
Travel tips for over 65s
- Your passport needs to be valid for at least the duration of your stay, but certain countries require you to have six months validity from the date of your departure. You might also need a Visa to enter certain countries. You can find out everything you need to know about UK passports at the GOV.UK site
- You can also obtain up-to-date information on the region you're travelling to, entry requirements and helpful tips on local laws and customs at the Foreign & Commonwealth Office
- Before you travel, make copies of all your important documents, such as your passport and driving license, and leave them at home with someone you trust
- Talk to your GP about what vaccinations you may need, but remember that you'll need to do this at least eight weeks before you travel. You can also check what travel vaccinations you need online at NHS fitfortravel
- If you're travelling in Europe apply for a free European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), which entitles you to free or reduced-cost state medical treatment in many European countries
- Plan your excursions carefully with a guidebook before you travel. If you're over 65 you can get reduced rate entry at lots of attractions in Europe. The Telegraph has a great country-by-country guide, which details where you can expect to find concessions
- If you're taking currency with you, shop around before you go to get the best deal. Some providers offer 0% commission and let you exchange any unused currency for Sterling at the same rate when you return
- You should also inform your bank and phone company that you're travelling abroad or your cards and phone might be blocked.

An assortment of thoughts, quotes, information, opinions, and such
"The 8 points" that define progressive Christianity, as seen by The Center for Progressive Christianity
An excellent description and discussion of what "progressive Christianity" is, by Canadian UCC pastor Gretta Vosper, author of the book With or Without God
"Are We Living the Progressive Faith, or Are We Just Dreaming?" by Fred Plumer, President of The Center for Progressive Christianity
Fundamentalism: The Challenge to the Secular World, by Lloyd Geering. This 2003 book by a New Zealand Presbyterian minister and scholar is short and easy to read, and available complete and free at this link. It would be excellent for use by church classes and study groups. It concisely covers information that all Christians need to know but many don't know, about the origin, characteristics, and dangers of religious fundamentalism.
An interview with Rev. Jim Rigby, pastor of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Austin, TX, presenting his understanding of Christianity. He's saying things I wish were said openly and regularly in every church congregation.
"How the Canon Was Formed," an article by Roy W. Hoover
|Granddaddy or Jesus? Clarence Jordan was a lifelong resident of Georgia who lived from 1912 to 1969. He was troubled by the racial and economic injustice he saw all around him. After getting a seminary Ph.D. to learn more about the Bible, he and his wife created an interracial Christian farming community in Georgia . They named it Koinonia, which means "communion" or "fellowship" in Greek. The term was applied in the book of Acts to the earliest form of Christian community. Jordan was also involved in the creation of Habitat for Humanity.The story is told of his speaking at an all-white church in Georgia and advocating racial desegregation. After his talk, an angry church member accosted him. "My granddaddy was active in this church all his life," she told Jordan, "and he would be outraged if he could hear what you've just been saying."
"Well, madam," Jordan calmly replied, "that means you have a choice to make. You can either follow your granddaddy or follow Jesus."
Many churchgoers still need to make that choice.

Pretty Little Liars Producer Previews Return: Who Will Drive the Mystery?Matt Richenthal at . Comments
Pretty Little Liars Season 3 finally resumes tomorrow night, with Mona out of the nut house and Byron in the crosshairs of his daughter.
Having spent such a long time away from our favorite Rosewood residents, I spoke with producer Oliver Goldstick about the show's return and asked for a character-by-character breakdown of what we can expect from Hanna, Aria and company going forward.
Brace yourself, fans, shocking revelations and hidden agendas are on the horizon...
TOBY: "He's many shades of wrong. It will be earth-shattering for all the Pretty Little Liars who trusted this person, but he came back to Rosewood with an axe to grind."
SPENCER: "You're in for a ride with her. It's quite a journey. She already had a hard time trusting because of the family she comes from; Toby had been her salvation, in a way. This will pixilate her in a very interesting way. She will also come eye-to-eye and go claw-to-claw with Mona.
ARIA: "This is really scary. We've never, ever hinted at one of our parents being a suspect in Alison's death, so this is a whole new juncture. Issues with Ezra will also put her through the ringer."
EZRA: "He's hidden his family from Aria, so now everything has to be taken with a grain of salt. Look at him again: Why was he withholding? There may be a lot there."
MONA: "The bigger the lie, the more the sociopath believes it. She was so hurt by Alison and so damaged, she'll still working through some things. The real question: is she a puppet master? Or a mere puppet?"
HANNA: "We'll be introduced to Caleb's family and someone from Caleb's past will create conflict."
EMILY: "She stumbles upon some incredible Alison revelations, which will lead her to drive the mystery and unearth what happened to Alison this summer… there will be Alison flashbacks and Emily will get some shocking answers by pursuing the issue to the darkest places."
LUCAS: "He's playing with too many sharp objects. He's playing on the wrong side of the sandbox and walking in the danger zone. He's gonna get hurt."
Pretty Little Liars returns tomorrow night at 8/7c on ABC Family. Which of these storylines are you most excited for?

Firewood Tips
Since it's fall and winter is on the horizon, we've talked recently about fire pits, and fireplaces, and how great these can be when things get cold.
But we can't forget one thing. Most of these will work best with firewood.
And firewood is not all created equal.
Did you know that one cord of wood burned as firewood provides the heat equivalent to that produced by burning 200 to 250 gallons of heating oil, depending on the type of hardwood you are using? Truly the type, quality, and condition of the wood will make a big different in the results you get with it.
So here's a great little primer on firewood from our friends at The Old Farmer's Almanac.
We hope this will help you stay a little warmer this winter!

|Legal Service India - Cyber Squatting - Clear and Present Danger - Abusive Domain Name Registration And Cyber Squatting
|Legal Advice | Find a lawyer | Constitutional law | Judgments | forms | PIL | family law | Cyber Law | Law Forum | Income-Tax | Consumer laws | Company laws
|Latest Articles | Articles 2013 | Articles 2012 | Articles 2011 | Articles 2010 | Articles 2009 | Articles 2008 | Articles 2007 | Articles 2006 | Articles 2000-05
In the new e-economy it is commercially prudent for a company to have an easily traceable address in the cyber-space. This requires registration of a particular domain name and website under the domain name system (DNS). However, this practice has spawned a new industry in valuable domain names.
Since the process of registration of domain names is simple and on 'first come, first served' basis, the only thing that should be avoided is the issuance of duplicate domain names.
Abusive Domain Name Registration And Cyber SquattingOne consistent thread in the fabric of discussions concerning management of DNS has been the interface between domain names as addresses on the internet and intellectual property.
Whereas the DNS system is largely privately administered and gives rise to registrations that result in global presence, the intellectual property rights system is publicly-- administered on a territorial basis. The intersection of global medium in which traffic circulates without cognizance of historical borders, results in tension by way of predatory practices.
These practices include the deliberate bad faith registration as domain of well-known trademarks in the hope of being able to sell the domain to the owners of those marks (or rivals owners) or simply to take unfair advantage of the reputation attached to those marks. In technical parlance, this is called cyber squatting. thus involves the use of domain name by a person with neither trademark registration nor any inherent rights to the name.
So, what is the magnitude of the present day problem cyber squatting? It would be a futile attempt to encompass the ever-increasing magnitude of cyber-squatting, but a bare reference to a few cases, highlights possible abuse and commercial nuisance generated by cyber squatting: -
In perhaps the most famous cybersquatting case, Marks Spencer public limited company and others Vs One in a Million LTD, the English Court of Appeals held that by registration of distinctive household names like Marks & Spencer public limited company, J. Sainsburry public limited company, etc., a false representation was made to the person who consulted the register, that the registrant was connected with the name registered and constituted passing off.
In Rediff Communications LTD, v Cyberbooth (AIR 2000 Bom 27), plaintiff, the owner of the well-known portal and domain name rediff.com filled for injunction against the defendant, registrant of the domain name "rediff .com". There was a common field of activity and the judge was satisfied that there was a 'clear intention to deceive' and granted interim relief to the plaintiff. The judge stated, "A domain name is more than an Internet address and is entitled to the equal protection of trademark."
Seek and ye should find: -
Cyber squatting is undoubtedly the most contentious issue in cyber law area throughout the world. But wherein lies the solution?
In India in the absence of requisite cyber laws to prevent cybersquatting, the cases involving cybersquatting are decided under the relevant provision of trademark laws. In UK, if someone has registered a domain name incorporating a trademark, then the domain name holder could be in breach of section 10 of the Trademark Act, 1994 that states " a person infringes a registered trademark if he uses identical or similar to the registered trademark in relation to identical or similar goods or services".
Recognizing the problems raised by clash between domain name system and trademarks, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Arbitration and Mediation Centre is developing an online Internet based system for administering commercial disputes involving intellectual property.
The Dispute Resolution Mechanism is unique in that it is designed to be used online both for document exchange and for filling of evidence. However, the original documentary evidence will still be needed to be filled in a physical form. The dispute resolution is simply signed and thus, providing an inexpensive and efficient service and does not in any way seek to take the place of national jurisdiction.
In October 1999, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Number (ICANN) (the current administrator of the .com, .org and .net domain name systems) adopted the uniform name domain dispute resolution policy to clarify its position and to cut the cost and number of lawsuits over domain name disputes.
In the lines of the final WIPO report of internet domain name possess, the policy to which all domain name registrations now adhere, is one, which attempts to bring about the settlement of in domain name disputes. Under the policy in cases involving cyber squatting the complainant can (but need not) invoke mandatory administrative procedure (herein after called the procedure) before one of the administrative dispute resolution service providers approved by ICANN. The complainant selects the provider and all costs involved (expected to be in the region of US $1000) must be borne by him., A successful complainant's remedy is limited to requiring the cancellation of the registrant's domain name or the transfer of domain name registration to the complainant.
The procedure will be handled in large part online and is designed to take less than 45 days with a provision for the parties to go to courts to resolve their disputes or contest the outcome of the procedure.
Can the conflict be resolved?
A statistical examination of Domain Name conflicts reveals that website proprietors gain access to property rights to which they would otherwise not be entitled to under traditional notions of intellectual property rights. There are cases where the conflict between the domain name and trademark systems is irreconcilable where both the parties act in goods faith.
That in light of the approach being adopted by the domain name registrars (which interalia includes the filing of a interpleader suit against the domain name owner and the challenger), the courts and International Organizations such as WIPO will prevent the use of domain names which have been which have been previously registered as a trademark. Thus, this conflict will be resolved primarily at the domain name registry level. . The courts are rapidly developing techniques for curbing cyber-squatting and in course of time, arbitration and mediation are likely to be the means for effecting conflicting legitimate users of trade names to reach an accommodation with each other.
It is increasingly clear is due to the global nature of Internet any policy in order to be effective must also be uniformly accepted and enforced worldwide. In the wake of 21st century all countries must join hands to curb this international problem or else - face the risk of this menacing problem emerging time and again.

text: PTHREAD_ATTR_GETINHERITSCHED(P) POSIX Programmer's Manual PTHREAD_ATTR_GETINHERITSCHED(P) NAME pthread_attr_getinheritsched, pthread_attr_setinheritsched - get and set the inheritsched attribute (REALTIME THREADS) SYNOPSIS #include <pthread.h> int pthread_attr_getinheritsched(const pthread_attr_t *restrict attr, int *restrict inheritsched); int pthread_attr_setinheritsched(pthread_attr_t *attr, int inheritsched); DESCRIPTION The pthread_attr_getinheritsched(), and pthread_attr_setinheritsched() functions, respec- tively, shall get and set the inheritsched attribute in the attr argument. When the attributes objects are used by pthread_create(), the inheritsched attribute determines how the other scheduling attributes of the created thread shall be set. PTHREAD_INHERIT_SCHED Specifies that the thread scheduling attributes shall be inherited from the creat- ing thread, and the scheduling attributes in this attr argument shall be ignored. PTHREAD_EXPLICIT_SCHED Specifies that the thread scheduling attributes shall be set to the corresponding values from this attributes object. The symbols PTHREAD_INHERIT_SCHED and PTHREAD_EXPLICIT_SCHED are defined in the <pthread.h> header. The following thread scheduling attributes defined by IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 are affected by the inheritsched attribute: scheduling policy ( schedpolicy), scheduling parameters ( schedparam), and scheduling contention scope ( contentionscope). RETURN VALUE If successful, the pthread_attr_getinheritsched() and pthread_attr_setinheritsched() func- tions shall return zero; otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the error. ERRORS The pthread_attr_setinheritsched() function may fail if: EINVAL The value of inheritsched is not valid. ENOTSUP An attempt was made to set the attribute to an unsupported value. These functions shall not return an error code of [EINTR]. The following sections are informative. EXAMPLES None. APPLICATION USAGE After these attributes have been set, a thread can be created with the specified attributes using pthread_create(). Using these routines does not affect the current run- ning thread. RATIONALE None. FUTURE DIRECTIONS None. SEE ALSO pthread_attr_destroy() , pthread_attr_getscope() , pthread_attr_getschedpolicy() , pthread_attr_getschedparam() , pthread_create() , the Base Definitions volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, <pthread.h>, <sched.h> COPYRIGHT Portions of this text are reprinted and reproduced in electronic form from IEEE Std 1003.1, 2003 Edition, Standard for Information Technology -- Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX), The Open Group Base Specifications Issue 6, Copyright (C) 2001-2003 by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc and The Open Group.

Southern Baptists have just won another battle in their war to deny all civil rights to lesbian and gay Americans. Here's how it works. Meeting in New Orleans at the Superdome June 19 and 20, 8,000 Southern Baptist Messengers (delegates) resolved that same-sex marriage is not a civil right.
The Rev. Dwight McKissic, one of two black clergy who presented the resolution, called it "unfair" for homosexuals to equate same-sex marriage with civil rights because there is no definitive scientific evidence that homosexuality is an innate trait like color. At a press conference he proclaimed, "They're equating their sin with my skin."
The belief that we do not qualify as a legitimate minority and that our sinfulness is all we have in common is not about marriage alone. It is the reason why Southern Baptists (and millions of other fundamentalist Christians) believe that LGBT people do not qualify for any of the civil rights or protections that the U.S. Constitution guarantees.
Southern Baptists' reasoning behind this resolution undermines our humanity, demeans our relationships, and sets us up for ridicule and worse... much worse. The resolution ends with the messenger's feeble attempt to show pastoral concern: "[W]e express our love to those who struggle with same-sex attraction and who are engaged in the homosexual lifestyle," and, "[W]e stand against any form of gay-bashing."
In fact, that resolution by the Southern Baptists in New Orleans gives license to those who would kill us, and a license for us to kill ourselves. Even in their attempts to protect themselves from blame for any tragic consequences that might be traced back to their resolution, they use dangerous, anti-homosexual rhetoric that simply makes matters worse.
When they claim to love those who "struggle with same-sex attraction," they are implying that homosexuality is ultimately a choice about sex, and that the right choice is to spend a lifetime resisting same-sex relationships because they are sinful.
And when they claim to love those who are "engaged in the homosexual lifestyle," they are implying that those who have stopped resisting their "sinful" sexual temptations will invariably discover that the "lifestyle" they have chosen will doom them to unhappy, unhealthy, and unholy lives.
Their ultimate attempt to distance themselves from the tragic consequences of their resolution is their claim that Southern Baptists "stand against any form of gay-bashing." In fact, their resolution is gay bashing at its worse, because it implies that in the end God, too, is a gay basher who will sentence the unrepentant homosexual to an eternity in hell. Ultimately, the Southern Baptist resolution is an act of what I call "holy terrorism."
Terrorists use the fear of human violence to exert their will over individuals and nations. "Holy terrorists" use the fear of God's violence to exert their will in the same way. The U.S. government is spending billions of dollars to protect us from terrorist acts, but acts of holy terrorism like the Southern Baptist resolution in New Orleans are seldom even acknowledged, let alone condemned or confronted.
On June 11, 2001, several hundred Soulforce volunteers staged a nonviolent protest against another Southern Baptist Convention meeting in the Superdome. We walked silently behind a jazz band in a traditional New Orleans funeral procession. The casket we carried was filled with the dramatic, true stories of LGBT Southern Baptists who had killed themselves or who had been bullied, beaten, and even murdered. Also in the casket were copies of the clear and convincing case we created to show Southern Baptist that their teachings led directly and indirectly to the suffering and death of the people they were called to serve, the case we had spent an entire year trying to get their leaders to take seriously.
When our funeral procession reached the Superdome, our Soulforce board chair, Jimmy Creech, and I addressed the crowd of messengers that was gathering. We explained why we couldn't ignore the war that Southern Baptists were waging against LGBT Americans, and why we had to get our casket and its content to the messengers. When we moved forward, the arrests began.
Over the next 10 years we wrote letters, made phone calls, met with Southern Baptist clergy and leaders of the Convention, and created pamphlets and booklets to respond to their lies about us. We protested at local Southern Baptist churches and at their national events. Soulforce spent tens of thousands of dollars and thousands of volunteer hours reaching out to Southern Baptists.
Nothing worked. They continue their war against us. These guys are serious. They represent 16.6 million Americans in 44,000 churches. There are approximately 30 Southern Baptist congregations in my zip code alone, and they are located in elite suburbs and impoverished ghettos. Wherever there is a Southern Baptist congregation, there are messengers who want to reverse the advances we have made, to amend the U.S. Constitution to deny us our rights, to silence us and drive us back into our closets forever.
It is difficult to remember that Southern Baptists are not the enemy. They are victims of the same untruth they use to victimize us. They are good people who really believe that we are sinful and have no idea of the tragic consequences of their beliefs. We must resist their untruth for our sake and for theirs.
If we resort to violence, we will lose the war. But if our resistance is guided by the principles of relentless nonviolent resistance, truth will conquer untruth, and reconciliation will take place. I'm a tired old activist from the 20th century. You are 21st-century activists with Internet tools that could be used to launch a powerful new resistance movement. Just don't wait for someone else to do it. Please, for the sake of millions of our sisters and brothers who are victims of holy terrorism, resist!

Being a Girl Scout means helping out the community, and for a group of girls in Keller, it means helping our canine friends as well.
Six girls in Troop 3307 decided the best way to earn their Silver Award, the second highest honor which means a group community service project, was to make 12 dog beds for the Humane Society of North Texas. Dog beds were among some of the "odds and ends" most needed by the organization, animal caretaker Karen Summerville said.
The girls reached out to local businesses asking them to donate items for the beds — material, hardware and PVC pipes — and organized several planning meetings.
"The planning and calling for material was the hardest thing about it," 14-year-old Aubree Herrold said. "But it was a lot of fun to work on."
Troop co-leader Gerianne Burke said the girls' process was helpful.
"It's good for them to think, 'OK, who needs what? How do we do it?'" she said.
The troop worked with the Humane Society to measure the beds' dimensions and determine the best material would last the longest. The girls said they were able to work with their fathers, and for some, using power tools was one of the most exciting parts of the job.
"I ended up getting some blisters but it was still a lot of fun to use the tools," 14-year-old Claire Stoneham said.
Summerville said she and the Humane Society are grateful for what the troop did.
"I think it's fantastic and great any time young ones get involved," she said. "Because that gets their parents involved, too, and before you know it more people are helping the animals."
Summerville said the beds are a great addition to the facility, which prides itself on cleanliness, because the beds are made out of material that can be easily and constantly disinfected.
"We go through many things to keep the animals here clean and healthy," she said.

The perfect partner for the 683 S2 in a commanding home theatre system, this true three-way centre speaker features two 6.5-inch drivers, an FST midrange and a Decoupled Double Dome tweeter.
The HTM61 S2 now features a Decoupled Double Dome tweeter, ideal for delivering the clarity needed for dialogue. The double dome enhances rigidity without adding weight, for a more precise response, while decoupling the tweeter from the main enclosure removes unwanted resonances and vibration. The result is absolutely clear.
Using construction techniques found in the 600 Series floorstanders, the HTM61 S2 also features two 6.5-inch bass drivers that use new aluminium cones, for an ideal mix of punch and precision.
Below the Decoupled Double Dome tweeter and between the two 6.5-inch bass drivers lies an FST midrange driver. And to the rear of the speaker are two Flowports. Together these ensure stunning audio clarity is carried across the entire frequency range, and a new symmetrical design improves integration and sound dispersion. The result is a serious centre speaker - stunning for big-screen action.

Year One
Actor, musician, and cult idol ascendant, Jack Black is known for both the characters he portrays on the screen and as one of the forces behind Tenacious D, a rock band/standup routine that Black has described as "a [[Performer~P66638~Smothers Brothers~smothersbrothers]] for the Dungeons and Dragons misfits set."A native of Santa Monica, CA, Black attended the University of California at Los Angeles. He got his professional start on the stage, appearing in [[Performer~P108437~Tim Robbins~timrobbins]]' production of Carnage at the 1989 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. He would go on to collaborate with [[Performer~P108437~Robbins~timrobbins]] throughout his career, making his screen debut in the director's 1992 political satire [[Feature~V6418~Bob Roberts~bobroberts]] and appearing in [[Performer~P108437~Robbins~timrobbins]]' [[Feature~V135507~Dead Man Walking~deadmanwalking]] (1995) and [[Feature~V180004~Cradle Will Rock~cradlewillrock]] (1999). Black spent the '90s playing supporting and lead roles in a variety of films, including [[Feature~V119000~Demolition Man~demolitionman]] (1993), [[Feature~V136232~The Cable Guy~thecableguy]] (1996), which cast him as the best friend of [[Performer~P8627~Matthew Broderick~matthewbroderick]]'s character, and [[Feature~V181286~Jesus' Son~jesusson]] (1999), in which Black had a small but extremely memorable role as a pill-popping hospital orderly.In 2000, Black had one of his most recognizable and enthusiastically received screen roles to date in [[Feature~V184533~High Fidelity~highfidelity]]. [[Performer~P90460~Stephen Frears~stephenfrears]]' popular adaptation of [[Performer~P224646~Nick Hornby~nickhornby]]'s novel of the same name, it featured Black as Barry, a thoroughly obnoxious record-store employee. The part allowed the actor to do some of his own singing, a talent that he had previously inflicted on numerous audience members during his years with the aforementioned Tenacious D. The band, comprised of Black and fellow holy terror [[Performer~P26120~Kyle Gass~kylegass]], had existed since 1994, and it had been featured on the TV comedy series [[Feature~V263932~Mr. Show~mrshow[tvseries]]] and as the subject of their own HBO series entitled (tongue firmly in cheek) Tenacious D: The Greatest Band on Earth. It was only a matter of time before Black stepped up from supporting character to leading man, and with the [[Performer~P189839~Farrelly~bobbyfarrelly]] brother's [[Feature~V255537~Shallow Hal~shallowhal]] Black may just have found the ideal vehicle for the successful transition. As a superficial man who falls in love with a 300-pound woman after being hypnotized to see only the "inner beauty" of the opposite sex, Black co-starred alongside [[Performer~P54871~Gwyneth Paltrow~gwynethpaltrow]] and [[Performer~P832~Jason Alexander~jasonalexander]] in what promised to be a charmingly offensive addition to the [[Performer~P189839~Farrelly~bobbyfarrelly]] canon.Though MTV Films' heavily marketed Orange County (2002) was not a huge commercial success, Black's supporting role as the lead character's slacker brother was well received by critics and long-time fans alike, and the once obscure figure began appearing on media outlets including Saturday Night Live, Primetime Glick, commercials for The Osbournes, and various MTV music and film awards. In 2003, Black starred in his first big hit -- director Richard Linklater's musical comedy School of Rock, which featured Black as a disgruntled heavy metal-guitarist doing a substitute teaching gig for extra cash. Critics were so taken by his performance that he was honored with a Golden Globe nomination.2004 saw Black turn in a cameo in the Will Ferrell vehicle Anchorman, after starring opposite Ben Stiller in director Barry Levinson's black comedy Envy. While the film was a box-office bomb after having its release pushed back several times, Black still had much to celebrate when it was announced he would be taking the lead in Peter Jackson's highly anticipated 2005 remake of King Kong. The epic film helped transition Black from a cult hero to a traditional movie star, though he was still careful to keep his original fans happy. In 2006, he starred in Napoleon Dynamite director Jared Hess' comedy Nacho Libre. The part of a disgruntled monk turned Lucha Libre idol was a perfect fit for the bombastic star, and he followed the performance up with another comic offering for his serious fans as he and [[Performer~P26120~Kyle Gass~kylegass]], his partner in Tenacious D, starred in Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny. This big screen telling of the band's mythical history promised to be full of the over-the-top laughs that rocked fans of the group's HBO series, and also included appearances by rock and metal idols like Ronnie James Dio and Meatloaf, who portrayed Black's dad. Black didn't abandoning straight acting. He would appear in a number of more conventional, and even dramatic roles over the coming years, like in The Holiday and Margot at the Wedding, while still pursuing the broad comedic roles he was known for in full force, with comedies like Be Kind Rewind, Tropic Thunder, Year One, and The Big Year. In 2012, Black reteamed with Richard Linklater for a unique blending of comedy, drama, and crime, playing a congenial southern murder suspect in Bernie. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, Rovi

ClearWay Minnesota(SM) Releases Hard-Hitting New Ads
New campaign shows cost of smoking, views of tobacco industry
Dec 06, 2010, 06:00 EST
MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 6, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- ClearWay Minnesota today launched a new advertising campaign illustrating the true objectives of the tobacco industry and the effects of tobacco use on all Minnesotans. The ads are part of a continued push by ClearWay Minnesota to reduce tobacco's harm through education efforts and policy initiatives such as the Freedom to Breathe Act, Tobacco Modernization and Compliance Act, a recent television documentary on smoking addiction and a report on tobacco industry marketing.
"We ignore the tobacco industry at our own risk," said David Willoughby, Chief Executive Officer of ClearWay Minnesota. "They have countered the impact of increased regulations and good public policies with their huge marketing budgets, new products and continuing efforts to addict new generations of smokers. It's more important than ever to highlight this continuing problem and the tobacco industry as its root cause."
"Repeating Doctors"
The new television ad depicts a series of doctors delivering bad news to family members of tobacco users. The ad highlights the health impacts of tobacco use, but also the personal and emotional toll it takes on smokers and non-smokers alike.
"Tobacco Files"
New bus side and online banner ads depict the tobacco industry viewing smokers as replaceable customers with "expected service lives" and "expiration dates." The themes of the ads, created for ClearWay Minnesota by Minneapolis advertising agency Clarity Coverdale Fury, were influenced by actual statements of tobacco industry representatives that were revealed during Minnesota's historic lawsuit against the industry in the 1990's.
"We're expecting Minnesotans will be a bit shocked by the blunt messages in these new ads," said Jac Coverdale, Executive Creative Director, Clarity Coverdale Fury. "We're asking people to pay attention to what the industry is doing and how they are affecting the lives of all of us."
The television, bus sides and online banner ads were created by Minneapolis advertising agency Clarity Coverdale Fury and are all available online at www.weallpaytheprice.com, a website designed to educate Minnesotans about the harms of tobacco and expose tobacco industry practices.
The tobacco industry spends $12.8 billion annually to market its products nationwide, with nearly $200 million spent in Minnesota alone. And the consequences are devastating – 634,000 Minnesotans still smoke, and the state loses 5,500 lives each year due to tobacco use. According to a recent study by Blue Cross Blue Shield, tobacco use costs Minnesota nearly $3 billion in health care costs annually.
About ClearWay Minnesota(SM)
ClearWay Minnesota is an independent, non-profit organization that improves the health of Minnesotans by reducing the harm caused by tobacco. ClearWay Minnesota serves Minnesota through its grant-making program, QUITPLAN® stop-smoking services and statewide outreach activities. It is funded with 3 percent of the state's 1998 tobacco settlement. For more information on ClearWay Minnesota or QUITPLAN Services, call 952-767-1400 or visit clearwaymn.org.

One of the best live soul albums I have ever heard!
(5 out of 5 stars)
"James Brown is at his peak when he performs "The Big Pay Back" and "Doin it to Death". The excitment and energy of the event and the performances gets you up and dancing. A rare find. Maybe we can get the sponsors of this event to put some more of the live performances to CD."
Can't Believe This CD Hasn't Recieved More Attention
William M. Rand | Washington, DC | 05/14/2000
(4 out of 5 stars)
"This CD is a truly great collection of various artists. The songs on here by BB King, the Spinners, and James Brown are some great pieces of work. They're so alive and so full of energy and truly great live pieces of work. Given all of that, the "Rumble In The Jungle" song by the Fugees and the rest is a great new addition to this wonderful collection of more classic R&B. Heck this CD is almost worth the price purely for the quotes by Ali that go on throughout the piece. Ali was a great fighter but his mastery of the English language and his wit still amaze me at times. Moreover this CD is a wonderful representation of the documentary (which I feel is a must see by the way) and I can see visions of it dancing through my head."
As inspiring as the documentary...
B. Bowman | Jersey, United States | 12/08/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)
"I'm usually not a fan of movie soundtracks because of the amount of filler they seem to always contain, but this one is an exception. James Brown, B.B. King, Bill Withers, The Spinners, and the Jazz Crusaders are all captured live in Africa before an extremely enthusiastic audience. The James Brown performances are really good. The versions of "The Payback" and "Doing It To Death" are noticeably faster than the studio versions and Fred Wesley really cuts loose in his solo on "Doing It To Death". (If you haven't seen the documentary you can also check out the early 70's James Brown band in action at this show, I only wish I could have been there.) Both Spinners songs are great performances as is Bill Withers' version of his classic "Ain't No Sunshine". My favorite songs here are B.B. King's though. This version of "Sweet Sixteen" gives me chills. B.B. (as always) really brings it home with his voice and his solos. As someone who has had the priviledge of seeing him live twice, both his songs here represent how he delivers live. This disc has comments from Ali and his trainer Drew Bundini Brown in between songs, which are entertaining. A soundtrack this good should be in print. Considering some of the artists that performed at this concert in Zaire that aren't included here (like Wilson Pickett), its too bad that a second disc wasn't put out. Either way, this soundtrack to me is just as inspiring as the documentary "When We Were Kings", and if you are a fan of Muhammad Ali or any of the artists mentioned, this is a great collection to have."

Is Open Source capitalist or communist?
About once a week a certain blogger stridently claims Open Source is a Capitalist Movement! or Today, Open Source is Commercial! and Open Source is About Capitalism, Not Freebies!
In fact, the truth is more complicated. We'll get into the economics of software and business to understand it.
First, is business capitalistic? Well, sure, you'd say. But the truth is that business rarely operates under a pure capitalist model. And especially not now. Under such a model, a bankrupt or uncompetitive business would be allowed, indeed encouraged, to die in a sort of Social Darwinism.
Yet one need only look at economic recovery schemes worldwide to see that companies thought of as the epitome of capitalism just last year are now only too eager to nurse at our collective tax-funded teat, with the approval of their peers and millions of smaller businesses worldwide.
But business isn't only Communist when it's down. Business requires a commons to operate. Public roads, and infrastructure in general are the usual examples, but also the broader collection of nearly everything that government does: providing a common framework of law in which business can compete, keeping civil order, providing education for the work force, funding research and development.
Add this to the list of commons that business depends upon: Open Source. Open Source is the interstate highway system of software. It operates the Internet and telecommunications infrastructure through which business communication is carried out, and much of the infrastructure of each individual business.
Is Open Source Communist then? Not usually. Its development is funded through three separate paradigms, and only one of them can be said to not have a business goal in mind. They are:
1) Infrastructure
This refers to collaboration by businesses interested in development of infrastructure software, for their own operations or in a supporting role to their product.
This activity is not intended to produce profit directly. Instead, it allows a company to keep more of the profit that it had been using to fund cost-center software development. It provides software to operate the profit-centers more efficiently and effectively. This is the biggest source of Open Source development today, and is represented by projects like Linux, Apache, and Eclipse.
But note that some of the best developers on these projects don't have any business motivation.
2) Non-Profit
This is sharing without any profit motive as a primary purpose of the activity. This applies to some of the best developers on the otherwise-profit-motivated projects, and to many projects operated by individuals, schools, and organizations. It also applies to most Open Source projects before they can attract business participants.
Linux would never have kept going if it had to depend on business at the start; it took years before companies had any serious interest in running it. Those early developers never expected a profit from business participation in the project, though many of them have now found jobs in what was previously their hobby.
The projects operated by the Free Software Foundation are probably the best example of this sort of development.
3) Direct Profit
This refers to software produced by companies that expect to make a profit from something directly associated with the software: through commercial licenses of software that is also dual-licensed as Open Source, through service contracts, training, an enhanced commercial version of the software or commercial add-ons for the software, etc. Some examples of this are MySQL (Sun), Berkeley DB (Oracle), and Spring (SpringSource).
Notice that only the last of these paradigms has a direct profit goal in mind. Two have business in mind. One doesn't have financial goals as its raison d'été. And there's a lot of mixing between the three paradigms. So, the question is Open Source is capitalist or Communist isn't a very meaningful one. It's both and neither.
Red Hat, Ubuntu, Novell
Perhaps at this point you've looked up and said Where's Red Hat? Red Hat, Canonical (Ubuntu), and Novell are like stockbrokers rather than the companies behind the stock.
The Linux distribution companies do make and sell their own software, but they are primarily in the business of packaging, configuring, and supporting software that is made by Open Source projects outside of their company. The result is distributed as a boxed product or bundled with computers for sale.
The Linux distribution companies may or may not participate significantly in the Open Source projects whose work they distribute. All three of the above development paradigms - infrastructure, non-profit, or direct commercial, apply to the software packaged by the Red Hat, Canonical, and Novell.
The Mozilla Foundation is another interesting exception. Even though they're not operated for profit, they have gotten much of their funding from Google, who has an obvious interest in having good web browsers for their service business and doesn't want Microsoft or Apple to dominate the web. So, I'd put them in the "infrastructure" rather than "non-profit" category.
There are other mixes between the "non-profit" and "infrastructure" paradigms: Open Source projects that have very strong participation from a single company, but are allowed broad latitude to manage themselves lest they stop looking like an Open Source project and lose collaborators.

Kitesurfer badly hurt after hitting Southend sea wall
A kitesurfer suffered "life-threatening" injuries when he crashed into a sea wall in south Essex.
Thames Coastguard was called to Southend by the East of England Ambulance Service after the accident at about 14:30 BST on Wednesday.
The kitesurfer, who struck the wall at Chalkwell, was treated at the scene before being flown by air ambulance to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge.
The East Anglian Air Ambulance said his condition was "life-threatening".
Simon Mudd, chairman of the Essex Kitesurfers' Club and who runs the Essex Kite Surf School, is a friend of the injured man and had been kite-surfing nearby in Southend shortly before the accident.
He said: "He's a lovely, lovely, guy. I came off the water because it got too windy.
"He's a very competent kitesurfer and he was on the right sized equipment.
"The wind just came through really strong."
'Caught by gust'
He told how the wind had been blowing at about 20mph but then increased in speed to 30mph and then 40mph, which Mr Mudd described as "extreme".
"It is quite possible that on the launch he got caught by the gust and was thrown into the sea wall," he said.
"It was a freakish sort of accident."
He said the injured man, who is understood to have a young family, had severe injuries including several broken bones.
Tom Raffan, who lives close to the scene, witnessed the arrival of the emergency services.
He said the weather at the time of the accident was "really windy" and "erratic".
The crew of the Anglia Two helicopter, which took the injured man to hospital, landed close to the beach.
The medical team - Dr Neil Berry, Dr Tom Hurst and critical care paramedic Jemma Varela - treated the man at the scene before he was flown to Cambridge.

Botanical Garden > About > History of the Botanical Garden > The first garden
The first garden
Copenhagen University's first botanical garden, Hortus Medicus, was established 2 August 1600, by royal charter and donation on a plot of ground by Skidenstraede (now Krystalgade), that previously belonged to the Zoological Museum. A residence with an adjacent botanical garden plot was also built for one of the professors, who would "graft and plant especially Simplicia, and where the aforementioned professor [would] keep order".
No financial means for the maintenance of the garden were provided for in the charter, and it was not until about a hundred years later, in 1696, that one of the garden's supervisors, Rasmus Caspar Bartholin, set up an endowment to pay for a gardener. One of the most prominent men of his time, Ole Worm (1588-1654), attempted a reform around 1620 of the teaching of medicine and botany and revived plans to construct a botanical garden, but the plans eventually came to nothing. In 1621, Worm personally took over management of the neglected garden and introduced a great number of Danish medicinal plants as well as rare foreign species he received from his many professional contacts abroad.
A fully functional garden first became possible in 1769, when Christian VII donated 2,500 daler to the University, the interest from which would be used for the garden's clearing and cultivation. The next year saw the King grant a part of Oeder's Botanical Garden by Amalienborg Palace to the University, as it became clear that plans to expand the old garden would not be realised. In 1778, the first botanical garden was closed down. Christen Friis Rottboell (1727-1797), Professor of Medicine, managed though in the last years to erect a greenhouse.

A note from the LTWT Team
If you have a hotel, motel, resort, or other lodging spot on the water trail, we at the Lake Tahoe Water Trail Team would like to help you provide the necessary features to make your paddling guests happy and to help get your name out to the paddling community.
There are four areas that a business should address to help meet the needs of kayak and SUP (stand up paddle-board) travelers:
1. Transportation. Provide transportation for your guests and their gear from the water to your lodge. If you are on the water, this may require only a set of kayak wheels (about $150). If you are located any distance from the landing point, this may require a van with a kayak trailer ($3,000 to purchase a 3 kayak trailer or $74 for materials to build your own 5-kayak rack to fit an existing utility trailer. We show you how to build one here). Another alternative is to farm out the transportation to a shuttle company. Many kayak and SUP rental companies also provide shuttle services.
2. Kayak Storage. Safe storage of kayaks and SUP's on site or at the landing point is essential to kayakers. The theft of a poorly stored kayak may not only ruin someone's vacation, but the cost of a kayak or paddle board may run from a few hundred dollars to over a thousand for some custom models. Some state and national parks are discussing adding locked storage facilities for kayaks at their haul-out and put-in points. These racks and closets can be built on your premises or at the beach. Storing your guests kayak at the beach eliminates the need to transport it to your lodge. An enclosed locked cabinet or a simple rack with a $65 kayak cable lock are some options to explore.
3. Food. Guests who arrive by kayak won't have land transportation so they will need access to nearby food and possibly entertainment options. Restaurants or grocery stores nearby if cooking facilities are provided in the rooms, shuttle vans or bike rentals should be part of your planning for paddling guests.
4. Other Concerns. Paddling guests may require an early morning breakfast and early transportation back to the beach for the next leg of their trip. A place to purchase a packed lunch with some ice to keep it cool would be a nice amenity. Some guests may desire to have their luggage shipped ahead to the next lodge. Others will want to carry their luggage back-pack style in their kayak's dry storage areas. The greater number of items you have considered to meet your paddling guest's needs will place you higher on their list of recommended lodges when they tell their friends about their great Tahoe paddling adventure.
If we can help you with any of these issues, or you have other questions about catering to the paddling crowd, please let us know at email@example.com

Muscle groups and their corresponding functions
Calf muscles [1,2]
When you are talking about the calf muscles, you are actually referring to: (1) the gastrocnemius, and (2) the soleus muscles. Both of them are located at the back of your lower legs, and play important role when you walk, run, jump, and stand at the balls of your feet. These two muscles are attached to your heel bone by the so-called Achilles tendon.When you overwork your Achilles tendon, you will have inflammation on it, and this is called tendinitis[1].
Strengthening exercises for the calf muscles using body weight
Toe raises[2]
Face the wall and place one hand against it to support you. Slowly raise your whole body on your toes then slowly return your heel to the floor. Perform two or three sets of 10 to 20 toe raises. In between, you can have a 1-minute rest. As your legs get stronger, you can hold additional weights in your hands or place barbell over your shoulders behind the neck to increase the resistance[2].
The hamstrings are muscles that occupy the back portion of your thigh. One of these is calledthe biceps femoris which is a two-headed muscle. One of its heads is attached to the ischiumwhich is the lower and back part of the hip bone and the other one is attached to the femur which is the main bone of your upper leg. The other hamstring muscles are the semitendinosus and the semimembranosus. Lumping the three muscles togetherinto one, their main actions are to flex the knee and extend the hip. In addition to these main functions, however, the biceps femoris is involved in the internal and external rotation of the legs [1].
Strengthening exercises for the hamstrings using body weight
Hamstring curls[2]
Stand in front of a table or any other object whose height is at the level of your thigh and which could serve as your support. Place your hands on the supporting table and bend backward your one leg at the knee, maintaining that your thigh is still aligned with your upper body. Slowly raise your foot towards your buttocks as far as you can and slowly return to the starting point. Finish two or three sets of 20 with each leg[2].
Back muscles[1,2]
The three muscles at the back are the following: (1) multifidus, (2)longissimus, and (3) spinalis.The multifidus muscle stabilizes and supports the spinal column. Thus, it provides stiffness to it[1].The longissimus muscles, on the other hand, flex the head and neck on the same side, and they extend the vertebral column [3]. Finally, the spinalis muscle extends and laterally bends the neck and the trunk [1].
Strengthening exercises for the back muscles using body weight
Back extensions[2]
Lie flat on yourfront abdomen with your hands under your shoulders as if you are about to do push-ups. Slowly raise your chest up using solely your back muscles and slightly assisted by your arms. As your chest goes up, exhale and pause at the top of the exercise. Go down slowly and inhale as you do it. Complete two or three sets of 10 [2].
Alternate extensions[2]
Lie flat on your front abdomen with your arms extended in front of you. Rest your forehead on a folded towel on the floor. Raise one of your arms simultaneously with the opposite leg. Maintain it for three seconds and then slowly lower it down to the starting position. Complete ten repetitions for each.

Re: MENSA
If you have interacted with various breeds of dogs, I am sure you have noticed that some breeds are smarter than others.
Also, it is pretty obvious that different species of animals exhibit different levels of intelligence. For example, humans as a group are more intelligent than dogs as a group.
The races are the different breeds of humans, and they do in fact exhibit different levels of intelligence. The Illuminati understands this. The rich and powerful dynastic families are very careful to avoid interbreeding with the less intelligent races, yet they promote interbreeding for the masses through the propaganda of diversity and multiculturalism.
The average white person has an IQ of 100. That is a bit too smart, making whites difficult to manage by the NWO. The native African has an IQ of 70. That is not smart enough, making Africans difficult to train for various employment tasks. The cross-breed has an IQ of 85. This breed can be trained to do work, and is easily managed by the NWO. As the power of the NWO increases, I expect them to become increasingly active in human breeding practices.
The article referenced by Bouncer, above, claims:
"Proponents of an excessively genetic understanding of intelligence often have racist agendas or are simply ignorant of the challenges facing the marginalized people of the world such as members of the African-American community."
That statement is nonsense. Intelligence is a genetic attribute that is measurable. African-Americans are not "marginalized"; they are simply the least intelligent race in the USA. If recognizing and exposing that fact is a "racist agenda", then so be it.
The conspiracy going on here is the conspiracy to make you believe that all races have equal intelligence. This is a false notion that diversity and multicultural training is designed to impart. The goal of this conspiracy is to create a mongrel slave race that serves the NWO.

Value Line is regarded as the best independent research available. More than just recommendations, Value Line provides the rationale behind its picks for greater understanding.
Shares of NIKE (NKE- Free NIKE Stock Report) are under pressure today after the athletic footwear and apparel maker announced results for its first (August) quarter of fiscal 2018 (years end May 31, 2018) that were a mixed bag. Revenues fell a tad shy of expectations, due to troubles in the North American market, while earnings beat the consensus estimate, which had come down over the past two months due to both in-house and industry-specific concerns.
Sales for the three-month period clocked in at $9.07 billion, a bit below our $9.10 billion call and only up slightly from the $9.06 billion posted in the previous-year period. Revenue for the NIKE brand was $8.6 billion, up 2% on a currency neutral basis, while sales of Converse fell 16%, to $483 million, due to lower North American receipts. Breaking it down in terms of revenue for footwear, apparel, and equipment, tallies came in at $5.5 billion, $2.7 billion, and $420 million, respectively. Geographically speaking, China-based operations were sound, with a 9% top-line increase, to $1.1 billion, but North American sales were just $3.9 billion, down 3% year over year. Management cited short-term promotional headwinds as the main reason for the dip in domestic sales.
Share net for the August quarter totaled to $0.57, a few pennies ahead of our reduced $0.55 expectation, but well below the $0.73 figure in the fiscal first quarter of 2017. In a highly competitive retail landscape, NIKE is believed to be racking up the expenses, favoring discounts, and funneling sizable sums of money into its direct-to-consumer platform. Efforts to cut costs are in full swing, and we saw the early signs of this in the period, as SG&A expenses were trimmed by 1%, to $2.9 billion. Gross margins also took a hit in the three-month frame, and a higher effective tax rate was an additional burden. In June, a plan was announced to cut 2% of the global workforce and realign geographic segments from six to four: North America; Europe, Middle East and Africa; Greater China; and Asia/Pacific and Latin America.
The NIKE picture is clouded at the moment. Wholesale receipts in North America are on the decline and foot traffic in numerous locations that push NIKE products is down significantly. Already, entities like Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS), Foot Locker (FL), and The Finish Line (FINL) have seen their shares damaged by preannouncing poor customer levels, pricing pressures, and weaker margins. NIKE, in turn, has become more promotional in an effort to move more goods, but whispers of a stale innovative pipeline have damaged the quotation of late. Moreover, Adidas is making meaningful headway towards taking some of the company's market share, particularly in the lucrative basketball sneaker arena. Efforts are being made to cut out the middlemen and go directly to the consumer, which both we and Wall Street applaud, and partnering up with Amazon.com (AMZN) seems like it will be a home run if all goes well. Still, there are fears that the retail environment is shifting so rapidly that NIKE will have issues enacting its turnaround plans.
We are maintaining our previously trimmed top- and bottom-line estimates for the full fiscal year of 2018. Earnings should come in around $2.55 a share, just $0.04 higher than the fiscal 2017 level on a top line of $36.0 billion, roughly a 5% year-to-year advance. The blossoming of the Amazon relationship should be evident as the fiscal year progresses, and the start of the NBA season should give the company a much needed shot in the arm.
From an investment perspective we like NIKE stock from a number of angles. However, we feel the need to caution subscribers on any play in the retail sector at this time. Things are changing, and those that do not adapt will likely suffer. NIKE has a plan, and the financial wherewithal (Financial Strength rating of A++) to execute it to the letter. Additionally, we think the recent decline in share price has created a nice entry point for those seeking appreciation potential three to five years hence. A dividend yield of 1.4% should also help to get some total-return seekers in the game.
About The Company:NIKE, Inc. designs, develops, and markets footwear, apparel, equipment, accessories, and services. It sells products to retail accounts, through NIKE-owned retail stores and the Internet, and through a mix of independent distributors and licensees in approximately 190 countries. Subsidiary brands include Converse casual sneakers and Hurley lifestyle apparel and accessories.

Read more about the lifestyle of this Wanderlista and shop exotic wares from Andria?s travels.
How does travel inspire your collection?
In the past month, I?ve visited five countries on three continents, and that is pretty normal for me! It?s inevitable that different cultures, people, and places inspire my work. Travel is just part of me. I?d be lost without it. Sometimes it?s the way I see fish swim in the Pacific, or mosaic icons in a church on a tiny Greek island. One time, this antique bronze elephant I bought in Cambodia had me on a green spree for a while; I used this color everywhere! It can also be as easy as a 5? top I pick up in a vintage store in Athens. Whatever the case may be, travel has always been the common denominator in my accessories line, Dea Rosa.
