Here's a great take on William DeWaughn's iconic Philly classic 'Be thankful for what you got'. This is the instrumental version of the Craig Peyton 12" from 83' on Profile Records (which later on became the legendary Hip Hop label). Personally I do prefer this instrumental even though the vocal is more or less a dub version. Anyway, this should fit somewhere between the boogie and more contemporary house stuff.
Hope you dig!

Globalization and its influence on the governance paradigm of Australian public universities
Access Status
MetadataShow full item record
This study aims to examine the extent to which globalization has influenced the governance paradigm of Australian public universities. Using a qualitative methodology and analyzing the data against a multi-theoretical governance framework, the findings suggest that the true impact of globalization is dependent on a number of wider influencing forces pertinent to an individual organization. Universities reacted differently to these forces, resulting in different levels of development and implementation of their governance mechanisms and processes. The theoretical implications of the findings support a multi-theoretical approach to governance to facilitate the identification of an organization's wider influencing forces. The practical implications provide for the identification and incorporation of such forces within an organization's governance framework to ensure a holistic approach to developing and implementing governance mechanisms and processes. The findings provide avenues for further research with other industry sectors to confirm the above theoretical and practical propositions.

Tom's birthday in zagreb
Tom had three parts to his birthday today. The first was my card and opening the card from his grandson at breakfast. After that, we headed to the local daily market to look at the fresh local fruits and vegetables and crafts. I bought a table runner and some strawberries.
We also wandered into some churches and also went to the Blood bridge again to see the picture of the Virgin Mary that was the only thing to survive a deadly fire, which destroyed the bridge itself and the structure on it but not the icon.
Then it was into the Museum of Broken Relationships, which was a real kick. The stories and artifacts were touching, sad, or even frightening. From there, we went to the museum of arts and crafts. We were looking for another museum, but it was raining so hard, we entered the first one we found. It actually turned out to be s gem with artwork, furnishings, church and synagogue items from the 1500-1900s.
Then we visited the town of Tito's birthplace and his home, set in the country. We were very charmed by the green rolling hills, houses with corn and hay racks and farm animals. Everything was so quaint compared to the rundown look and graffiti of the city of Zagreb.
We had had dinner at a county inn that served all local food, beer and wine. Fantastic. And then the second birthday surprise: the tour director had everyone sign a card and gave s gift of a folk painting on a beehive cover to Tom. The restaurant gave him a delicious chocolate cake.
The last surprise came when we returned to the hotel. When we entered the room, we thought it was the wrong one as room service had been there. But no, there was a card and birthday letter from the hotel management! Plus a cake, water and fruit. Wow. What a day for Tom. But he still couldn't get American coffee!

Rebuilding the TabernacleFriday, August 29th, 2008 by Hunju Choe
After these things I will return, and I will rebuild the Tabernacle of David which has fallen, and I will rebuild its ruins, and I will restore it. (Acts15:16 NASB)
Last year, we set up a Tabernacle in our home. In the presence of God, there was touch of God, anointing, healing and rest.
But as time went on, the Tabernacle began to fall little by little. Being busy with ministry, the time at the feet of Jesus became less and less. The time in God's presence became less and less. The Tabernacle was getting neglected.
Ministry began to replace intimacy. Busyness began to replace stillness. My plans began to replace God's voice.
A few weeks ago, the Lord spoke to my heart clearly. "It's time for you to rebuild the Tabernacle which has fallen." "It's time to restore it."
And He reminded me of David moving the ark of God into Jerusalem. So we moved the Tabernacle from the corner of the bedroom to the livingroom-the centre of our home.
He also reminded me of the priest keeping the fire of God burning in the Old Testament. So we bought a candlestick and lit the candle. And we put on worship CDs and let it play day and night.
Now the music is playing again. the fire of worship is burning. The incense of prayer is rising. The sweet presence of the Lord is filling our home.
Lord, let this fire never go out. Let it burn till the fire of God's glory covers the earth. Just as the priests, let me keep the fire burning day and night, night and day. Lord, let the fire burn! Let it burn!!

Why libertarians Fail to Gain Traction
While there seems to be an increased interest in libertarian values as of late, there is an inherent incompatibility with those values and its success in today's society.
Those who are Libertarians or have come to embrace libertarian values are faced with a conundrum. Libertarian values of self-direction, liberty, and accountability create independent people. People who realize that they, themselves, are or should be in control of their future.
In their independence they find a lesser need to form groups or coalitions whose goal is to organize and decide others' fate. Creating organizations whose cause is to control, determine, or repress another's actions is anathema to a libertarian's core beliefs.
Our political system has evolved (or devolved) into a contest between two groups, Republicans and Democrats, whose existences are derived from what they promise they can do for people through force or coercion of others, often finding common cause to prop up their organization's perpetuation.
Libertarians are able to rise to a cause when current directions of government attempts to restrict freedom and liberty reach a threshold unacceptable to individuals. Each individual's level of acceptance of these restraints and regulations differs, but as more are imposed the number of citizens embracing libertarian thought increases, as seen in the current political landscape.
At some point in time those in control of the political landscape and our lives come to the conclusion that they have reached a level of oppression that is unsustainable in the public eye as more individuals pull their support both monetarily and through the ballot box. The first more compelling to controlling parties than the latter. When this point is reached they will offer concessions to freedom, many times using false action or platitudes. When, with the help of media hype, they convince enough of us that they are again supporting our core values of liberty and freedom they put their ship back on the course of power, as many libertarian believing persons will find reasons to go on with their lives of perceived independence; their concerns satiated.
Creating an ongoing organization with enough critical mass to watchdog, if not lead, the efforts to provide protections for liberty continues to be elusive. It will remain elusive as long as individuals equate liberty only with how it affects their own personal liberty, not the liberty of all, as envisioned by several of our founders.
Self-determination in the sense of liberty does not relieve one of accountability or responsibility to others. Nor does it mean selfish behavior where one's liberty is at the expense of another's. Until the collective (yes, I used that word) consciousness reaches this conclusion libertarian beliefs will only be temporary aberrations of reaction and not a sustainable foundation for true change.

Looks scary... 3:
I prefer sunlit happy freerunning! :D
Still, great work as always.
My name is Matt (Obviously.) I'm interested into all sorts of art and music, making games\mods, and playing games. (I'm still working on the "making games" part.) Some PC games I own: MINECRAFT (I play this 90% of the time); Half Life 1, 2, Ep1, & Ep2; Call of Duty 1, 2, 4, UO, & WaW; Team Fortress 2; Portal; Left 4 Dead; Alien Swarm; and Garry's Mod
Looks scary... 3:
I prefer sunlit happy freerunning! :D
Still, great work as always.
Fullbright. Fix it.
Well, that actually makes sense. But, you should probably have a little bit of content that's relevant to your mod by the time you create a Moddb page. Sorry for the sarcasm (I doubt you could pick up on it) for my last post, I thought that this was probably just another troll mod. You might want to mention the engine switch in your mod description.
What is this i don't even.
So... you used brushes to bump out the windows? If so, I like it. Attention to detail is always good. :)
Also, you should replace some of the textures in the windows to minimize repeating texture artifacts. That would help.
This is obviously the Source engine. Half Life's HUD, the GravGun, and VALVe's dev textures. Unless you ported all of that to the UDK. Why would you port Half Life/VALVe's stuff to the UDK if you aren't using it in your mod (This is a mod, not a game, unless you have thousands of dollars to licence a game engine with... that you don't even know the name to)? Also I think that might be copyright infringement.
Sorry, I didn't notice.
Is it just me or does cobblestone look different?
I want to download this and rate it, but my computer is being dumb and crashing every time I try to open steam. I'll review this when I get it fixed.
Prepare for a wall of text:
Finally, a game that ACTUALLY CARES for balance! I thought that balanced and fair game-play was a thing of the past since the Call of Duty explosion/fad.
Also, for the issue of hip-firing snipers, I agree with TheSniperFan. I like sniping, but it feels ridiculous and humiliating when I'm 5 feet from a person and can't shoot him with my sniper. I'm not asking for across-the-map no-scope shots like in Halo, but I still don't want to be completely screwed when I'm flanked or something. If I'm standing perfectly still, I want to be able to shoot a guy within 10 feet or so of me without scoping in. That might not be all that realistic, but games can't be all realism, because they're NOT real life. They're games. Also, not being to hip-fire for **** encourages camping, doesn't it? Why should a sniper move from his/her spot if it means a probable death at mid/close range?
Anyway, great article. I'm glad to know that you guys care about balance.
Ditto. What is this. I don't even
Why was his comment thumbed down? Like him, I have a **** PC and can't run Unreal Engine games well. I can get 10-20 fps on low settings on most Unreal Engine games. I don't support the switch, but I will still track if you so, in case I upgrade my PC.
:D Nice skin.
What texture pack is that?
This is great! Definitely one of my fav packs. 10/10
Very professional!
I literally lol'd.
Normal mapping.
Im not a musician, but these sound pretty good! I didn't know that composing was that complex.
Does it come out on the 16th or 17th? It says 17 on the news post, but it says 16 on the profile release date. 0.o
This... actually doesn't look too bad for a first map (judging from the pic.) No fullbright! Yay! :D
I'll download it.
Fullbright. No download from me.
Win. Thank you, sir.
GRammar NAzi!!!!!!11!!1!1eleven!!!1!11!!one!!!!1!
[here are some letters that are typed because ModDB won't let me post the above alone >:( ]
Maybe it's just me, but the ADS looks like its a bit off-center.
It's off to the right and too low.
Seconded. What the hell?
You can use many programs, such as 3ds Max, Blender, Maya, Softimage XSI, Houdini3d, Z-brush, and\or Mudbox.
I use 3ds Max and Mudbox.
This is epic.
The only problem i have with this is the lava sound. It sounds... fuzzy. I can't describe it...
Anyways, great work otherwise.

Thai chicken chili paste in oil stir-fry
A simple menu that consists of just cutting chicken meat and vegetables, then stir-frying. It's a healthy recipe that can be easily made and that you can expect to stimulate everyone's appetite.
Ingredients (serves 4 people)
1. 3 cloves of garlic
2. 200 g of chicken breast meat
3. ½ onion
4. 2 red bell peppers
5. 15 ml of chili paste in oil
6. 15 ml of soy sauce
7. 25 basil leaves
8. Cooking oil
2. Apply cooking oil to a heated frying pan, add 3 cloves of garlic cut into round slices of
roughly 5 millimeters, then lightly stir-fry.
4. Further, add 200 grams of chicken breast meat cut into large chunks to the frying pan
and stir-fry over high heat.
6. Further add half of an onion sliced into 1 centimeter wedges and 2 red bell peppers
cut into thin strips to the frying pan, then add 15 milliliters of chili paste in oil and 15
milliliters of soy sauce while stir-frying over medium heat. Stir-fry while thoroughly
mixing the flavors together.
8. Once the chicken breast meat has been thoroughly cooked, set the heat low, add
about 25 basil leaves, and stir-fry. Once the leaves have become soft, turn off the heat,
and complete the meal with the residual heat. If the raw basil leaves are stir-fried too
much, they will blacken, so it is okay to complete the meal with the residual heat by
turning off the heat and covering the top of the frying pan with its lid.
9. In the environment of high temperatures and high humidity that is Thailand, families
hope for healthy bodies that can endure the heat, and that very thought is strongly
present in the cooking of Thai mothers.
10. It is said that the source of the ability of those living in Thailand to overcome the heat
lies in the spicy and varied flavors represented by Tom Yum Goong and the sweet and
sour flavors provided by the rich varieties of fruits such as durians, mangos, bananas,
watermelons, and pineapples found in home cuisine.
11. Do you know about a condiment called "chili paste in oil" that is essential to that home
cuisine? It is made by stir-frying onions, dried prawns, garlic, and chili peppers, mixing
salt and sugar, and then converting it into a paste.
12. It is said that the flavor of Tom Yum Goong largely depends on the quality of this very
condiment. With its appetite-stimulating effect and the fact that any ingredient goes
well with it, it's a mother's greatest ally in helping with the cooking when your family
has lost the battle against heat along with their appetites.

If you live in southwest Calgary, there's a great opportunity to share your feedback on the public art being commissioned for the West LRT transit line. Further, you can also apply to be part of the selection committee that will be choosing the art to be installed along the line.
The overall goal of this project is to install art along the West LRT transit line that will heighten the pedestrian and rider experience along the corridor, engage walkers and riders at various points throughout their journey, or while they wait on platforms, and make the experience of being in and moving through the corridor a stimulating and interesting one. - City of Calgary
You can share your feedback via this online form here, but the City is asking that you first familiarize yourself with the state of the Centre Street Lions and the City's public art process.
Would you like to be more involved with the West LRT public art project? Please apply to participate in an artist-led focus group and to be a member of the citizen selection panel (or jury).
The City has extended the deadline to take part in this opportunity to July 21, 2014. More information can be found on the City of Calgary website as well.

One of today's most popular Internet related new uses for a word or 'meme' as the kids say is FAIL. It's been around for ages in the gamer/geek world, but it's been picked up by just about everyone now. Anyway, the term FAIL is used to basically describe anything that doesn't work quite right (in this context). But the old way is the way I like to think about it, like 'failure' as in 'hardware'. This past weekend I read an article about the XBox 360's poor hardware longevity. In a study done, it appears that about 55% of XBOX 360's have some sort of hardware malfunction, producing the dreaded RROD (red ring of death) and upon reception of a fixed 360 from Microsoft, those additional consoles have a 42% failure rate. Of course this compares to the PS3 and Wii, which are about 11% and 7% respectively.
I guess as a people, we have expected this sort of thing from Microsoft. It's why there are patch Tuesdays. And for those of us who have the XBox 360, we are very pleased with it for some reason, I'm not sure what that reason is, but, we like our Xbox. So, I'm not exactly sure why we all keep supporting Microsoft, but we do, and we really shouldn't, until they get their act together. I put in in terms I can easily understand. I want my games to look cool and I don't want to pay top of the line prices. If I was going to do that, I'd go with the PS3. The wii has its own genre, I'm not looking for fancy graphics, just fun interactivity, there isn't even a comparison. It's a little bit like DDA, with DDA you get great design and good looking work for a fraction of the cost that some of the higher priced design and media companies would charge.
So lets think of this FAIL in terms of DDA. We design websites, create interactive marketing and media. Lets say we build a basic website. We don't build it for only 50% of the people who would be using it. We launch a website where 50% of the website is broken and showing errors. Even if one error pops up during the process, we don't need people to ship the whole thing back and wait several weeks before getting back a brand new one that may or may not completely stop functioning soon. If we did this to our clients, we wouldn't have very many clients for very long. So on one hand, we do work like the Xbox 360 model, we want to provide top of the line design and interactivity, without the hefty price tag, but our custom programming holds up its end of the bargain; we are not a FAIL.

On the morning of October 1, 2017, volunteers Teng Swee Lieng, Cha Shaw Dee and Khoo Seng Ngoh visited the family of care recipient, Vijian a/l Periasamy, with a festive gift pack and some daily necessities.
Forty-year-old Vijian never went to school. He makes a living by working part-time but the jobs are not available daily. Thus, he earns a mere RM400 to RM500 nett for a month's labour, which is insufficient to support his family. Vijian and his wife, Letchumy a/p Viniandy, have a son and three daughters. They moved from the city to Merlimau, Malacca, two years ago for a livelihood, and are currently living in a small wooden cabin on a farm land. This cabin is, in fact, the farmhouse's storage room. The kitchen, living room and bedroom are all in the same tiny space without divisions.
Volunteers were informed of the predicament of Vijian's family through the Happy Schooling Scheme, as reported by the Principal of SJK(T) Merlimau. Letchumy was pregnant and close to labour at that time, and their eldest son was only six years old. Three months ago, volunteers visited the family to find out about their current situation. After meetings and discussions, they decided to provide material aid to the family even though the couple was young, healthy and able to work, as they had taken into account the children's well-being.
On the day of visitation, Vijian and the son were out doing part-time work, while Letchumy and their daughters stayed at home. Seng Ngoh picked up the baby clothing and taught Letchumy, who gave birth a month ago, how to use them. Volunteers also showed her the contents of the gift pack one by one. Through their conversation, volunteers discovered that Letchumy had not celebrated Deepavali since she got married and had kids.
"We could not even afford baby diapers. What the baby is wearing was given by our Malay friend. Every year when I saw other children wearing new clothes during Deepavali but my kids had none, I could not help but shed tears," said Letchumy sorrowfully.
Letchumy was grateful for the gift pack from Tzu Chi, but she was sad at the thought that no one will visit them during Deepavali and that only the kids will eat the food.
Feeling her sadness, Swee Lieng immediately said, "If you invite us for Deepavali, we will definitely be here! But remember not to trouble yourself with preparations." Letchumy nodded happily and everyone agreed to celebrate together with Vijian's family on the afternoon of October 18, the actual day of Deepavali.
Recycling helps one and others too
From the two home visitations, volunteers felt sorry to see the plight of Vijian's family. So Swee Lieng searched for clean baby clothing and usable small backpack from the recyclables, and gave them to the family.
"They still need pillows, but we must ensure they are clean," Swee Lieng and Shaw Dee reminded each other while looking at the dirty pillows owned by the family. They also measured the lengths of the children's feet, so that they could bring them shoes along with clean pillows on their next visit.
Swee Lieng picked up the baby clothing they brought and talked to Letchumy on the topic of recycling, "Tzu Chi's funds come from public donations. They are not easy money. We saw that there are plenty of discarded items around your house. Tzu Chi collects recyclables and helps those in need with the proceeds," Swee Lieng shared, and encouraged Letchumy to collect recyclables, so that she can sell them when in need, or give them to Tzu Chi for kind deeds.
"Never think that you are not capable of helping others because you are poor. By doing recycling, you can help others too," Swee Lieng assured Letchumy, who had never thought that the waste that people simply discarded could be a source of help to others and oneself. She nodded willingly and said, "I will collect them shortly afterwards."
In the evening, when volunteers returned to Vijian's house to hand out the Deepavali "angpau", they discovered that Letchumy had collected a bagful of recyclables and placed it at the side of her house. Swee Lieng was glad to see that. Initially, Swee Lieng had encouraged Vijian to look for a permanent job to earn a stable income to support the family's livelihood. However, as a supervisor of a furniture factory, he discovered that there were comparatively fewer Indian workers in the factory because of their love for freedom. Thus, he changed his tactic and encouraged Vijian to fully utilize the farmland for crop planting instead.
"Tzu Chi can provide you seeds for planting. You can plant chilli, okra, and other types of crops. This way, you can feed your family," Swee Lieng suggested to Vijian.
Knowing that the material aid they had provided was limited, Swee Lieng and other volunteers are figuring out ways to help the family to be self-reliant.

No matter where you are going to travel and what is the purpose of that travel, you need to get a travel insurance before leaving your home country. It is mandatory to have a travel insurance in the majority of countries (especially in the developed world), yet having an insurance is recommended in any case.
However, there are different travel insurance packages that cover certain aspects of journeys, while leaving some things uninsured. Besides, each travel insurance package has limitations and exceptions. This article will cover both of these aspects, as well as you will get to know the history of journey insurance and how to pick a good travel insurance company.
Table of Contents
History of Travel Insurance
James Batterson, an American builder, designer and entrepreneur, founded the first travel insurance company in 1863. The company was called Travelers Insurance Company and appeared to be the first travel company to offer this kind of services. At that time, the insurance sold to clients covered theft and other casualty insurance. The insurance products of that company had been purchased mostly by the upper class and upper-mid class, which means that the travel insurance was fairly expensive and only quite rich, wealthy people could afford it. On the other hand, it was easier to pay a decent sum of money and head to the destination than bearing all the risks, which had been significant at that time. The company fully covered all the costs its clients had to bear due to theft or any other unpredicted circumstances.
An important mileage in the development of travel insurances occurred at the beginning of the 20th century. The form of the 19th-century's insurance did not cover any costs of medical treatment or other health issues a person might experience during his/her journey. Later on, some trip insurance packages started also to cover the costs of cancelled flights, missed hotel reservations, and other costs associated with travel. Popularization of airplanes as a means of transfers made travel insurances to be in an even bigger demand from the side of travelers.
Over the last several decades, the coverage of travel insurances has rapidly expanded. While the acts of war and terrorism were once an exclusion, they are covered by the majority of the trip insurance packages at the present time. Many countries started to require travel insurance if one wishes to visit them. An abundance of travel insurance options – such as multi-trip insurance coverage – allows tourists to find the best deals and save their money. Considering that the present-day travel insurance covers many aspects that couldn't be covered before (such as flight cancellation, loss of baggage, ransom, and many other unexpected circumstances), tourists may relish in an enjoyable trip and skip their worries about some insignificant things.
Types of Travel Insurance
Taking into account that clients of insurance companies want to be able to choose what to insure among different aspects of travelling, there are different types of trip insurance. Besides, such an ability of selection allows the tourists not to overpay for the services they don't need. And those tourists who might need all aspects of their travels to be insured can take advantage of the full travel insurance packages, which are frequently offered by insurance companies with great discounts. So, here are 5 common types of travel insurance:
Medical insurance. Medical insurance is one of the key travel insurance types, which is often required by various countries for entering them (especially in regards to the citizens of the third-world countries). If you are living in the European Union and visiting another EU country, the chances are that your health insurance covers treatment in another EU country. But if you are going to visit any other country, we recommend you to check the policy of your insurance company – typically, health insurance companies don't provide international medical treatment.
Flight cancellation travel insurance helps you to save either your trip or money
While many other types of travel insurance might be not as much needed, medical insurance comes as a priority. And even if you are not obliged to have it for a visiting a country, you should think about the risks of getting injured – even a slippery cobblestone might turn out to be a bad one for you. Therefore, it would be wise to stick to the thinking that your health is worth those investments (besides, it will turn out to be much more expensive to get healed on the site).
Medical evacuation. Planning to climb mountains in the remote regions of the Alps or relish in the trekking activity in Nepal? In case of visiting a remote place or region without necessary medical facilities, you would definitely need to have an insurance that covers medical evacuation. Trekking on high-altitude plateaus and climbing are the bright examples of a situation when you might need medical evacuation – even mountain disease might lead to a death (if a person is not evacuated in time), to say nothing about fractures, frostbite, and other kinds of injuries. An evacuation that is not covered by your travel insurance may cost up to $100,000, so purchasing a trip insurance package that covers medical evacuation is a must thing to do before heading to remote regions.
Trip interruption or cancellation. There are myriads of reasons that might cause an interruption in your oncoming journey or the overall cancellation of it. If you don't want to lose the whole amount of money you have invested in your journey, you should definitely purchase a travel insurance that covers cancellation and interruption of your trip. Common causes of trip interruption and cancellation include instability in a country of destination, natural disasters, sicknesses or deaths of family members, or sicknesses of travelers. Before purchasing a travel insurance package that covers trip cancellation and/or interruption, you should carefully read the conditions of paying out the compensation and how you should file for a compensation.
Flight cancellation. Many tourists are quite "time-sensitive," especially when they go on short journeys (up to a week). In such a case, a cancelled flight might be anything but ruining the planned trip. If your trip insurance package covers flight cancellation, then the insurance company will cover the costs of the tickets and all other expenses that arise from the flight cancellation. Though, you should be aware that insurance companies typically cover flight cancellations on the per-ticket basis, so make sure to insure each stage (ticket) of your journey.
Lost checked luggage. Airline companies state that it is far safer to keep precious or expensive things in the section of checked baggage. However, the occurrences when airline companies lose the luggage of their customers are not rare, and it turns out quite difficult to prove that you are right. So in case of bringing jewelry, musical instruments, sport equipment, or other valuable and/or expensive items aboard, it would be safer to insure your checked luggage. If some item turns out to be missing, the insurance company of yours would pay you the compensation. But keep in mind that it is going about the checked luggage – the inside of the bags you take along with you aboard is not covered!
What You Need to Know About Your Travel Insurance
Apart from the fact that there are different types of trip insurance, there are also several other aspects you should be aware of. This section of our article gives you an insight about how to save your money when purchasing a travel insurance and which special packages you may purchase as well as what they cover.
- Multiple cover. If you are travelling with your family, it is very likely that all your family members need the same trip insurance package. Then, purchasing a travel insurance with a multiple cover (i.e. cover of two or more people) would be a nice option, as it will definitely turn out to be much cheaper than if you decide a single-cover trip insurance for every your family member. There are travel insurance companies that allow multiple-cover insurances for tourists while enabling them to travel independently from each other, but it is quite a tough task to find a company that offers such packages.
- Multi–trip travel insurance. If you are the type of person who frequently travels to various countries and regions, then a multi-trip insurance may stand in good stead for you. Indeed, the price of such an insurance is far bigger than the price of a typical one-time travel insurance. It is pretty easy to calculate whether it is worth to purchase a multi-trip insurance: if you travel at least 3-4 times per year overseas, then the chances are that it is better to purchase a multi-trip insurance. However, keep in mind that each multi-trip insurance has a limit on length of every travel you undertake and is typically issued for a calendar year. Besides, you can save your money on purchasing a multi-trip insurance for a certain region only, not worldwide – that would be pretty suitable if travel to one region (Europe, for example).
- Extra coverage of your travel insurance. Be sure to check whether the policy of your travel insurance company provides extra coverage (typically, around 2,500 Euro) in case of an airline company's financial failure or any other travel enterprise's. If your trip insurance includes extra coverage, then you might avoid many unnecessary woes. Such a type of trip insurance, for example, will cover all the losses, if an airline company (that should have transferred you) goes bankrupt and you can't get accommodated in the hotel you have booked before. In that case, all the losses (but not more than the limit of the extra cover) will be covered by your insurance, including the cost of accommodation at hotel and other expenses, arising from the cancelled flight.
- Typical limits of travel insurance. Indeed, limits of travel insurances typically vary between travel companies, but not significantly. Yet, be sure to check the policy of your insurance company and the limits, applicable to your insurance. Don't be confused by the figures as well – the emergency medical cover sum is, indeed, astonishing, but it is typically stated for showing off. The highest claim ever was equal to 2 million Euro. Overall, the average travel insurance limits are the following:
Personal liabilities: 2 million Euro
Missed departure: 500 Euro
Checked baggage: 1,500 Euro
Emergency medical cover: 5 million Euro
Trip cancellation: 2,500 Euro.
- Undertaking activities. Going to another country doesn't necessarily mean that you will be just visiting museums, going on sightseeing tours, and drinking in numerous pubs and restaurants. Perhaps, almost every person wants to include a sort of activity in their tours, such as surfing, trekking, sailing, and other sport activities. The majority of travel insurances don't include various activities in their basic insurance packages, so you have to add the activities you are likely to undertake to your insurance package and pay additionally for them. Such activities are typically not covered by the standard travel insurance packages: if you fall down from a camel during your camel ride and get injured (don't laugh, camel riding is a popular activity) without having it covered by your travel insurance, you will have to pay for the treatment on your own.
- Sport in winter. If you are a fancier of active leisure in the winter and can't miss to spend a winter season in a remote destination, then you should check whether your travel insurance covers treatment of traumas received while undertaking winter sport activities. When checking the section of winter sport in your travel insurance, there are several aspects to pay attention to. First of all, the majority of insurance companies demand from its clients to wear helmets when undertaking sport activities – otherwise, you may be refused in paying the compensation out. Also, check where the policy of your insurance allows you to undertake sport activities and whether you are obliged to have a guide with you. If the insurance company demands from you to lock your skis while having a dinner or leaving them elsewhere, you can be sure that such a cover is useless. And the last point is checking whether the activities in snow parks are covered by your insurance.
A Step-by-Step Guide to Choosing a Right Travel Insurance
If you are planning to head to another country anytime soon, it would be reasonable to dedicate enough time for selecting the right type of travel insurance – and this is especially needed for people who will undertake various activities! Tackling this issue seriously is necessary in order not to get frustrated and cover all the losses on one's own later.
It would be cheaper to buy a travel insurance that includes medical evacuation than paying the full price of it
The entire process of travel insurance selection can be broken up into three parts: finding an insurance policy that suits you, checking the terms and conditions of the insurance, and comparing the policies of different insurance companies. Just follow the following guidelines step by step:
- Finding an insurance policy that suits you:
- Make up your mind regarding what type of travel insurance policy you need from the above given types. There are also policies that include accidental death coverage, allowing you to insure your life for dismemberment or death (three main accidental death insurance policies include common carrier, air flight, and general accidental death).
- Estimate your risks, which will help you to determine what things are worth to be covered and what things will be paid for nothing. This stage actually allows you to get insured for the things you need without overpaying for something you don't have a need in. Typically, you can add or skip such coverage types like hurricane and storm conditions, rental car insurance, life insurance, terrorism, cancelled (missed/delayed) flights, and loss or delay of your baggage.
- Call your current insurance agent in your home country and find out whether your health insurance covers travels abroad (the chances are that it does not cover travel-related expenses, but we suggest you to double-check!). Calling the insurance agent can help make it clear about what is already covered and what you still need to cover. It also helps you avoid any misunderstandings.
- The next stage is actually checking whether the insurance policy suits you overall. Many companies (including tour operators, travel insurers, general insurance companies, and banks) provide the services of travel insurance, yet sometimes it appears to be fairly difficult to comprehend anything in the thicket of vague terms. At this point, consider consulting an insurance agent, which makes it easier for clients to understand the overall specifics of insurance and determine what is really covered by insurance and under which conditions.
- Once you have completed the previous stages, ensure that the company where you want to purchase your travel insurance is a reputable, reliable one. Check whether it has a good reputation and whether there are disputed claims as well as negative reviews about this company, whether it is internationally represented, and whether it has a licensed ID/license number (check it as well).
- Checking the terms and conditions of your travel insurance:
- Make sure that the travel insurance covers the country you are going to visit. Keep in mind that it is difficult to find a travel insurance for the country, about which there are political or medical official warnings.
- The already existing conditions of yours may not be covered by the insurance policy, so make sure that all your health conditions are covered before heading to your destination.
- Read carefully the refund policy in the contract and make sure that you understand under which conditions the refunds are made. Research about how long it takes for the company to process your claims and what exactly will be refunded.
- Consider purchasing cancellation waivers, as they will help you to save a big share (if not all) of the money you have invested in your trip that has been cancelled. Typically, cancellation waivers are sold for a fee and you can apply for reimbursement up to 24 hours before embarking on your travel.
- Comparing the policies of different insurance companies:
- In the first place, look for different travel insurance options. If you are offered a travel insurance from a travel agency or tour operator, it would be wise to look around for other options. Two reasons for that: it may be difficult to get a reimbursement from such an insurer and the insurance policy might not cover the activities you need. Besides, the price might be higher as well.
- Compile a spreadsheet and break it up into the following sections: company's name, the cost of the travel insurance, type of the insurance policy, coverage, and whether the insurance covers pre-existing conditions. Compare the policies.
- Calculate the costs of your travel insurance in the percentage from the overall journey cost. It must not exceed 5-7% of the trip's cost in normal cases and 7-10% with extra types of coverage (emergency medical coverage or terrorism).
- Get newspapers and read reviews of insurance companies and their policies. Utilize websites and consumer companies for the same purpose as well.
- Use online services for comparing insurance policies (just google "compare travel insurance") and make up your mind in regards to what travel insurance you want to pick.
Takeaway: Tips for Getting the Travel Insurance You Need
Travel insurance can help you in dealing with delayed flights
At the end of this article, there are a couple of tips that will help you make a better choice regarding the travel insurance:
- Don't trust what the agent tells you, but rather trust to what is written in the documents. Make sure you have a clear understanding of what is covered by the insurance.
- Keep in mind that it rarely turns out the cheapest policy is also the best one – don't try to save too much on your travel insurance!
- Don't forget to write the helpline phone numbers of your insurance company or/and add them into your phone contact list.
- Purchase a travel insurance at least a few weeks in advance.
- The majority of travel insurance policies don't cover pre-existing conditions (like diabetes), so make sure that you have picked the right package.

I submitted the details to EURING to get more information and today the email came back. The scheme not only logs your record but gives you information about the bird you have recorded.
The information revealed:
Thank you for taking the time to report to us details of a bird ring you found. Information about this bird and its movements is given below.
Ringing Scheme: London Ring Number: W31824 Species of bird: Mute Swan (Cygnus olor)
This bird was ringed by Arden Ringing Group as age 2nd year, sex unknown on 03-Feb-2012 11:55:00 at Stratford-on-Avon, Warwickshire, UK
OS Map reference SP2054 accuracy 0, co-ordinates 52deg 11min N 1deg 42min W accuracy 0.
Colour Marks left below knee ON(BEF)
Colour Marks right below knee M
It was found on 07-Mar-2015 time unknown at St Nicholas Park, Warwick, Warwickshire, UK
OS Map reference SP2965 accuracy 0, co-ordinates 52deg 17min N 1deg 35min W accuracy 0.
Finding condition: Sight record by non-ringer
Finding circumstances: Field Record
Extra Information: -
It was found 1128 days after it was ringed, 14 km from the ringing site, direction NE.
Bird Ringing in Britain & Ireland is organised by the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO). Each year over 900,000 birds are ringed by over 2,500 highly trained bird ringers, most of whom are volunteers. They follow a careful training process that can take several years to complete to ensure that they have the necessary skills to catch and ring birds. The bird's welfare is always the most important consideration during ringing activities.
Ringing began over 100 years ago to study the movements of birds. While it continues to generate information about movements, it also allows us to study how many young birds leave the nest and survive to breed as adults, as well as how many adults live from year to year and how many birds disperse to different breeding sites. Collection of this information helps us to understand why bird populations increase or decrease − vital information for conservation. Details of how many birds have been caught and where and when they have been found are available on the BTO website at www.bto.org/ringing-report.
Some interesting facts discovered from ringing data....
Oldest bird – Manx shearwater, 50 yrs 11 months
Furthest travelled – Arctic Tern from Wales to Australia 18,000 km
Strangest recovery – Osprey ring found in stomach of a crocodile in The Gambia!
Many thanks again for reporting this bird and contributing to the work of the Ringing Scheme. If you would like to find out more about the BTO please check out our website www.bto.org.
With best wishes
The Ringing Team

A new security flaw has been found in the CPU chips made by Intel and AMD which will allow hackers and rouge programs to steel data from other running programs. This means passwords and log in details for any websites your web browser visits.
These Vulnerabilities are known as Spectre and Meltdown. Intel is at risk from both cpu flaws and AND is at risk from the spectre flaw which is the one that will take longer to work around.
Any information a program is processing can be leaked to bogus software running on your system,,, any system that is,, that's running on Intel and AMD cpu.
If you're using a word processor to write a private document with sensitive information in it, its at risk of being leaked to a rouge program looking to use cpu vulnerabilities to steel data.
Both companies are fast working on software and firmware solutions to protect consumers against the security risks, but all solutions come with a price,!!!
You could loose up to 30% of you're systems performance which for high end developers and media editors,, is a hard hit to take.
Some are saying its a scare tactic to force more upgrades to newer hardware and software, others say its all about the egenda to push windows 10 and latest hardware into full main stream use because its the new platform for the '' Internet of things'' which is going to be the platform of all human interactive-ness,,, and control!!!
There's even talk of this being a deliberate move in cpu development to allow organisations to spy and track people,, and that the cat got out of the bag!!!
Aside from all the conspiracy theorists,,, you will see a change in system performance and you will be at risk if you ignore it. BUT! Before this exploit can be used by hackers and viruses you're system must already be compromised.... in order for the rouge software to get past security and run itself....
So are you really at risk!!! well, as far as we're concerned,,, no more than you already are in today's world.. if hackers get in,,, its most likely they will get the info regardless of the flaws in today's cpu's.. so be smart and keep you're systems security tidy and up-to-date.
If you have windows 10, and don't want the update, you will struggle to stop the security update from going in and its not written in stone just yet, how much the update will slow down things... but the fix has to recompile any running programs so it will cause performance issues.
ARM and AMD chips are mainly effected by the Spectre vulnerability, but intel is suffering all of it,,,,

Hedge fund Scopia Capital Management LP, which owns about 17% of Acorda Therapeutics Inc, has called on the developer of drugs targeting neurological disorders to explore a sale, according to an SEC regulatory filing, Reuters reported.
Pressure on Acorda to consider a sale comes after a judge in March invalidated patents held by Acorda related to its multiple sclerosis drug Ampyra, meaning Ampyra could soon face generic competition.
According to Reuters data, sales of Ampyra made up almost 90% of Acorda's 2016 revenue of $519 million.
Scopia Capital Management LP published a letter it sent to Acorda's board of directors informing the company that it had accumulated a 17% stake and requesting the appointment of a special committee of independent directors to oversee "a review of all strategic alternatives to maximize value," including a sale, Reuters reported.
"We are highly confident that multiple qualified, potential buyers would be interested in engaging with Acorda at a significant premium to its present value," Ashu Tyagi, a partner as Scopia, wrote in the letter.
Acorda replied in a statement: "The Acorda board of directors and management team are committed to acting in the best interests of shareholders and all Acorda stakeholders.
"As part of its contingency planning related to the Ampyra patents, Acorda's board and management team thoroughly considered options to enhance shareholder value, as they do regularly.
"Based on this recent review, the board unanimously determined that focusing on our two late-stage programs in Parkinson's disease (INBRIJA and tozadenant) and maximizing Ampyra is the best path forward to create value for shareholders.
"We believe that a sale of the company at the present time would not adequately compensate shareholders for the potential benefits of the company's late-stage programs.
"Moreover, initiating a sale process or a public review of strategic alternatives at this point would destabilize operations, hinder our ability to execute on the company's business plan and risk significantly devaluing the company …"

Sydenham could literally have had a hand in almost all of the pots on these web
pages. He was one of the workers staying with the firm
his working life from the jazz age though to the age of Aquarius. The best years of Poole
Pottery's history.
He wasn't alone.
Other names Jimmy Soper and Lesley Elsden, Ruth Pavely, Nellie Bishdon and more were there too, through
roughly the same period, each perfecting their craft before passing on their skills to younger generations.
All of them keeping
alive Poole's tradition of hand made, hand decorated pottery for as long
as they could. And in Guy Sydenham's case, taking it away to his own
studios on the islands of Poole Harbour and Portland.

The Atlantis
range dates from about 1969 and came from the Poole Craft Section headed up, at that time, by Guy Sydenham. The range has a similar look to Guy's solo work.
The bowl/candle holder pictured is made from high fired red earthenware, but other Atlantis pieces have a grey stoneware body.
Atlantis throwers were encouraged by Guy Sydenham, for the first time at Poole, to mark their work
in recognition of their individual artistic
contribution. So it is a little ironic that on on this, of all
pages, the two pots above are among only a few on this whole website that we can
say with certainty were not thrown by Guy Sydenham himself.
Atlantis ware isn't all that common: I think when it was made it was quite expensive and production relatively time consuming and small
scale, and prices today reflect this.

New Stoneware Coffee Set was designed by Guy Sydenham at Poole Pottery in 1967.
The coffee pots were each hand thrown by Alan White, the other peices were made on the jigger
(a machine for shaping cups) or jolly (a machine for shaping flatware) and then
hand carved by Chris O'Donoghue,
who is now an award winning garden
designer. They came in two colours above is "Pampas"" and

storage jars and cruet set are from a range of kitchen and tableware designed by Guy Sydenham and Tony Morris in 1967. Initially coloured in one of two reactive glazes,
"Blue Lace" and the mottled green "Sea Crest", this shape and others was also treated to "Traditional " painted patterns.
Guy Sydenhams career at Poole Pottery began in 1930, he had a break to
fight in WWII, returning in 1946 and resigned from his post as senior
designer in 1977.
he also had a life as a potter away from Poole Pottery, at his island
homes. Making pots on Long
Island in Poole Harbour from 1960 to 1968, Green Island again in Poole Harbour
from 1968 to 1988, and on the Isle of Portland from 1992 until his death
in 2005.

Wedding Planning And Making Money Online
It is very true that couples will spend a lot of money of their wedding. As a result, there is really a great potential for you to make money online with wedding planning. What I mean here is that you will be able to make money online by selling items related to wedding planning.
When a couple is planning for a wedding, they have to consider a lot of details. For example, they have to send the save the date card at least half year before and send the wedding invitations 12 weeks before their wedding.
People are very busy nowadays. They may not really have enough time to plan for their wedding. Even if they have the time to do so, they may not really know the etiquettes. It can be even more difficult if it is a Chinese couple. There are a lot of etiquettes associated with Chinese wedding traditions. The couple may not really understand or know all these etiquettes.
As a result, there is a possibility of making money online by creating ebooks on wedding etiquettes or ebooks on tips about wedding planning. These kinds of ebooks can be sold very well. In fact, you can see that there are some people who are selling such ebooks when you try to search in clickbank.
Selling ebooks is not the only way to make money online with wedding planning. You can even be able to make money using PPC networks. There are a lot of advertisers in this field and you can earn quite a bit of money with it. You may start a website on free wedding invitation templates and make money. It is not difficult to do so at the end of the day. However, if you are doing SEO work, the keyword wedding can be a very challenging one. As a result, you will still want to concentrate on long tails instead.
Of course you may also consider starting an online shop which sells wedding gifts. The gifts are certainly something very important. However, the capital involved should also be considered. You may need to spend some money on the inventories. Yet you may consider join some affiliate programs which sell such products and this may be an excellent choice.
