Feature adventure holidays
Solo Traveller
We've developed a range of dedicated solo holidays & solo travel packages; exclusively for people booking on their own. Around 40% of all our passengers are solo travellers.
Family Holidays
Busy families spend so little quality time together that for three-quarters of parents, family holidays are now seen as an 'essential' or so important that they will cut back on other things to ensure they get away, according to new research by The Adventure Company.
According to a new survey carried out by The Adventure Company, taking your child on holiday can help them with their school work. We polled more than 4,000 parents and almost nine in ten said that going on holiday had helped their child with one or more school subjects, most notably geography (69%), history (59%) and languages (49%).
This week's Budget contained welcome news for some families, but many of the changes that were announced won't come into force until 2014 or even 2015, so The Adventure Company has rounded up its best value trips for families who want to get away on a summer holiday this year without breaking the bank.
The Adventure Company has set up a dedicated Facebook page for families, to help them find inspiration for their next family holiday and share travel tips and advice with other parents
A new range of specialist family sailing trips feature in The Adventure Company's 2013 Family Adventures brochure.
Chase the heat without the summer crowds this Easter and get a 5% discount on selected family holidays booked with The Adventure Company before 25 January 2012.
Parents will be encouraged to dust off their spirit of adventure when it comes to filling next year's school holidays with 28 new great-value trips introduced to The Adventure Company's bumper 2012 Family Adventures brochure and the chance to save up to 15% on holidays.
Families can shake off the early predictions of snow and book onto a sunny week of activities this October half term with the UK's leading family adventure specialist, The Adventure Company.
Children are being given the opportunity to delve deeper into the world of photography this October half term with two new family holidays in India and Morocco.
The Advenutre Company have 15 great adventures all under £1000 per person. Remember this includes all flights, transfers, accommodation, and most activities and meals

.- In an emotional front-page editorial of a special edition of L'Osservatore Romano published this Thursday on the 25th Anniversary of John Paul II's election to the papacy, Editor-in-Chief Mario Agnes called the Pontiff a "letter from God" that the world has been unable to destroy.
The special edition of the Vatican newspaper included a 52-page photo spread and was sold out by midday.
Agnes said the Pope "continues to present himself as a Letter from God. The 'envelope' is a bit worn out—it's been touched by the faith and love of so many hands for over 25 years."
"It has been touched by the hands of assassins, whose purpose was to destroy the Letter," he continued. "But they failed. And the envelope has been mistreated, and the consequences are evident. Yet the letter has remained intact and coherent, its words remain indelible and piercing"
"He is the Letter from God," concluded Agnes.

Q: What is Health insurance, and who needs it? Is Charity Care Health Insurance?
Health insurance helps you pay your healthcare costs. Health insurance can help you pay for many different services, including preventive health like mammograms and vaccines and treatment of diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. Starting in 2014, almost everybody will be required to have some kind of health insurance. Even though Charity Care may lower the cost of healthcare, it is NOT health insurance.
Q: How do I get health insurance?
Some people get health insurance through their jobs. If you do not get health insurance through your job or it is too expensive, you can now get health insurance through the Marketplace.
Q: What is the Health Insurance Marketplace
The Marketplace is a website where you can buy health insurance. On the Marketplace website, you will fill out an application and find out what healthcare plans are available to you and your family. Some people can get Medicaid or CHIP. Others may be able to get low-cost health coverage plans.
Back to top
Q: How do I apply for health insurance?
There are two ways to apply for health insurance. You can apply online at www.healthcare.gov or fill out a paper application. Let us know if you need a paper application.
Q: What information do I need to fill out the application?
- Social Security numbers for all household members OR document numbers for immigrants
- Income information – pay stubs or R W-2 forms
- Insurance policy numbers for household members who already have health insurance
- If your employer offers insurance through your job, you need to fill out the employer coverage tool at https://www.healthcare.gov/.../MarketplaceApp_Checklist_Generic.pdf
Q: What happens after I fill out the application?
The Marketplace will tell you which health insurance plans you can buy. It will also tell you if you qualify for Medicaid, tax credits or cost-sharing reductions that will lower the cost of your health insurance. You can compare the plans and choose the one that is best for you.
Q: How do I choose a plan?
The Marketplace can help you compare plans based on what they cover and how much they cost. You should think about what is important to you. For example, if you already have a doctor, you should make sure that your new plan will cover your doctor.
Q: When is the deadline to apply?
The deadline to apply is March 31, 2014. If you apply by December 15, your insurance will start on January 1, XXXX.

LEFT-HANDERS DAY!Hello to all our members! You know which special day it is, don't you? If not, I will tell you (and you should not forget it anymore): IT IS LEFT-HANDERS DAY!Yes, it is this special day just for us, who we live on "the other side", "think different", "are different", "are clusmy", "cannot write normal", "think with the other side of the brain" and "use the wrong hand"!If this isn't a day to celebrate I do not know what else should be celebrated. Why should we celebrate this special day or even mention it? Because lefties all over the world still get treated bad, are said to be working with the devil or use the "bad" hand. You do not know all of those sayings? Well, than you are lucky and live in the right country where lefties finally are accepted and treated well. But there are still places on earth where being left-handed is forbidden, even gets eridicated! T
Left-Handers Day!!!HAPPY LEFT-HANDERS DAY EVERYONE!!!Yes, today is OUR DAY! August 13th is international Left-Handers Day!LET'S CELEBRATE!!! All of you know what it feels like to be a left-hander – or ambidextrous. Only WE know, what kind of problems we face every day – and we all somehow learned to work around those.Right-handers will never fully understand what this means, as they never experience that.Being a Lefty is something we were (and in some countries still are) treated bad. In school chiidren were beaten or forced to use the "right" hand.Words which describe evil or bad things are pulled together with everything left – here some examples.[1] We would like to know if you could come up with some typical left-associated words, which describe bad things!You want to know more about being a Lefty, about Left-Handers Day and what it means to be so special?[2] Than go here! http://www.lefthandersday.co
18 worst things for lefties ...Hi there, our lefty and ambidextrous friends!We all know some things which are really painful for us lefties, no? So many things which right-handed people do not even think one second about we can experience as a pain in the …I am sure if I ask you, everybody of you will come up with at least ONE thing that really annoys you. Tell this a right-handed person and he/she will scratch his/her head and thinks you are really crazy. They cannot imagine how these things are for lefties. They often think that you exaggerate those things. But: We all know that this is not true.Anyway, I would like to share with you a link to a nice summery of things that are a pain for left-handed people. Show this to your righty-friends, they may be bewildered, but they need to know. http://www.buzzfeed.com/katienotopoulos/the-18-worst-things-for-left-handed-peopleHave fun reading.

LHA CONTEST 2012: OPPOSITESWhat's up?As many of you will remember from last year's festivities, August 13th is a very special day for lefties everywhere! Left Handers' Day is a day where we can all get together freely and talk about our scissor preferences, smudged writing and how many times we've been heard: "Hey! Are you left handed?".Of course, we can do that any day. But on the 13th of August we have an awesome excuse. And once again, we're providing you with the perfect excuse to put on that thinking cap and grab your art supplies to create something awesome for the LHA 2012 contest!There are two sides to every coin: good and evil, day and night, law and chaos, left and right. This year's theme is all about opposites, however you want to interpret them! Your piece can include any and all opposites, limited to only your imagination. It doesn't have to relate to left-handedness, but just contrasting themes and o
FEATURED LEFTY AWESOMENESS: :devMARX77: !Introducing the artist!I am very proud to introduce MARX77, a street photographer to you today! He is an amazing photographer who has a great eye for detail, composition and the special something in an all-day moment! His people portraits are very captivating and every photography of him tells us a story.A very skilled artist in my opinion!This was the photography that caught my eye and attention from the first second! The combination of the light and very dark shadowed parts is very fascinating. In combination with the very vibrant colors this photography looks more like modern art than a photography of relativ "normal" work activity. Wondeful!This picture shows the immense knowledge and skills that MARX77 has. He has an eye for unique/interesting scenaries in totally normal places. MARX77 has realized how interesting the background looks like with the two different colored packages in combination with the man and

A Note on Daily Deviation FeaturesAt ten features into my tenure as Community Volunteer for Abstract & Surreal Photography I am noticing a certain trend in response to abstract and surreal Daily Deviations. I shall address some of the recurring themes here, and hopefully answer some questions along the way. At this point I would like to mention that I am talking about a small and vocal minority, and I sincerely thank the overwhelming majority for supporting the featured artists and their work. You're what makes this site such a great community.With that said, let's get to the troublesome themes I am coming across.The "This is crap!" ArgumentAs an observer and a critic, you're entitled to think that something isn't very good. However, exclaiming as such on the comments of a piece of work that an artist has spent time and energy creating is not only counter-productive, but rude and insulting, especially if it's not followed up with some advice about how you think they could make their

New Contest - Animals - Point Prizes -OVER-Okay, so after much procrastination and debilitation, I've come to the conclusion that the new contest idea will be centered around animals. Now, the only problem I face is whether or not I should be general or specific in the kind of animals. I'm thinking domesticated animals to make it easier for everybody, including myself.So, with that stated, here are the rules:1. Submit only pictures of domesticated animals, such as cats, dogs, ferrets, fish, etc. Or, in other words, pets. 2. Semi- good to good quality. No camera phone pictures.3. Submit photos to the right place - There will be a specific folder where you can submit your pictures.4. Absolutely no hate or foul play!5. No advertising for yourself. This means, no journals asking people to vote for you and you alone. I've seen way too many contests where people have asked their watchers to vote for them. It's not fair. So advertise

As a parent of children who are fortunate to live in comfortable circumstances, I don't want to have to cancel Christmas or deprive them of the things they want. I don't want to make them feel guilty for having a better life than the many less fortunate children in the world. At the same time, I do want them to know that not everyone in the world enjoys the same level of comfort and security as they do.
When my first child was a small baby I collected parenting books, convinced that one of them contained the secret to a full night's sleep and a miracle cure for colic. They mostly lay unread as I was too tired to read them, but occasionally my husband or I would pick one up and pick and choose the bits that we could live with out of one and half-apply them in our exhausted states.
Thus, my mother had always told me that I had to learn to love cooking before becoming a mum. Not merely to learn to cook, but to learn to love cooking. Her rationale is learning to love cooking is not merely about putting food on the table, but cultivating a mindset where there is a genuine desire to nurture and care for another human being.
More and more, I believe parenting experts and childcare gurus are a scourge on modern mums, with a combination of one-size-fits all, conflicting advice that creates expectations that we - and certainly our babies - can never live up to. This leads to guilt, anxiety or, in my case, even depression as I felt I was failing at the most important job I have ever done.
What is a dysfunctional family? Well, there is a huge span when it comes to the term 'dysfunctional'. It ranges from mildly dysfunctional to completely nuts. There is really no guide when it comes to determining how dysfunctional a family is but, for the purposes of this article, we are leaning towards the 'completely nuts' end of the spectrum.
For once the feed schedule you have tirelessly tried and beaten yourself up over when it failed, has started to stick giving your day some kind of shape. For once you feel like you have some control back. That your day is not just one long feeding session and that you have finally took a step towards some form of routine.
My elderly aunt was crying the other night. Quite a lot actually. She even made herself sick at one point. I rolled her to one side while I changed the sheet underneath her as quickly as I could. I didn't speak to her, look at her, hold her or offer her a glass of water. I didn't want to get her hopes up or let her think she might be cuddled or listened to. Was that OK?
The other day there were simultaneous conversations going on; one about how their child's homework was too easy and the other about how their child's homework was too hard. And they weren't just discussing it, they were getting very worked up! They seemed to think that one teacher was either too lazy to set proper homework or thought their children were idiots.

Spying Scandal: Break Ins at Yahoo and Google Data Centers
WASHINGTON, D.C. (WKRC) -- There is a report that the National Security Agency secretly broke into the data centers of Yahoo and Google.
The break-in was of the main communications links that connect Yahoo and Google data centers around the world. The Washington Post reports cites documents obtained from former NSA employee, Edward Snowden.
A secret accounting firm says the NSA sends millions of records everyday from the Yahoo and Google internal networks to data warehouses at the agency's Maryland headquarters.
A Yahoo spokesman says the company did not give the government access to its data centers and Google says it's troubled by the reports and was unaware of the activity.

Here is good one from late Gandhi who once said "Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed".
How true.

Ah thats excellent. Well the tables turned these days, people are taking the earth to satisfy their own selfish greed. How unfortunate for those less fortunate
Posted 10 April 2011 - 02:29 PM
This thought has been roaming in my head for some time...
Food for thought...
When brothers and sisters who take on the path of The Sufi's, say ' I cant belive such and such person does not have this understanding of tasawwuf ' or ' How can they not belive in such experinces'...
One should stop and say.... ' How did i come about,in understanding tasawwuf ', ' What makes me better then this person'...
One should be greatful to Allah swt, thanking Him swt for such understanding and feeling the different experinces of Iman...
One should make dua for other brothers and sisters, and not have ill feeling towards them, for not having the same understanding of the science of tasawwuf. One should make dua asking Allah swt to implant the understanding of such science in their hearts, and let them feel the same experince that your feeling too...
I once ask one of my teachers in Islam, he his a master in the science of tasawwuf and love for Sayydin Muhammad , a question relating to tasawwuf... He said to me... ' Not all people can take in the knowledge of tasawwuf '. He also said, ' A true sufi, wouldnt call him/her sufi and say i have gained such and such konwledge, but he/she should go back to Allah swt thanking Him for such knowledge and understanding and even seeking forgiveness for not acting upon the knowledge given'.
Aslo to keep in mind, that not every one has experince what you have experince, and that with in the science of tasawwuf there are different states and stages one would past, which others might not get to or even comprehend.
Leave you with this from Imam Al Ghazali, Dear Beloved Son...
My dear beloved son! You have asked [me] about some [spiritual] issues, among which, some cannot be described completely in writing and speech. When you reach that [high spiritual enlightenment] state then you will know them yourself. The lesson of love is not taught but it�s born and learned by itself. If you reach that [high spiritual] state then knowing [these issues] will be equivalent to moving from one [spiritual] state to another (Mustahilaat). Because Ishq (intense love) is another name for love and intense desire to seek what one loves (Zauq). Love and Zauq (intense desire to seek what one loves) can neither be described in speech nor in writing and its spirit (meaning) cannot be presented. Just like sweetness, sourness, and bitterness cannot be described by anyone who wants to describe them in writing or speech. Therefore, let it be known, that if you reach this destination [of high spiritual station/enlightenment] then you will know [all this] by yourself. But if you are not able to reach this destination [of high spiritual station] then the truth can be described to some extent in writing and speech.
This is reminder to myself Insha'Allah...

Posted 17 April 2011 - 08:27 AM
�Take some kittens, some soft little pussycats, and put them in a box,� says Jamal, a surgeon at Al Shifa hospital, the main one in Gaza, while a nurse places a couple of cardboard boxes just in front of us, covered with spots of blood. �Seal the box, and with all your weight and your strength jump on it until you hear the bones crack, and the last miaow is choked.� As I stare at the boxes dumbfounded, the doctor continues, �Now try to imagine what would happen immediately after a scenario like that was publicised: the justified outrage of the world, complaints by animal welfare organisations�� The doctor continues his story, and I cannot remove my eyes for a moment from those boxes placed at my feet. �Israel has locked up hundreds of civilians in a school as if in a box, dozens of children, and then crushed it with the full brunt of its bombs. And what were the reactions of the world? Almost nothing. It would have been better to be born animals, rather than Palestinians; we would have been better protected.� At this point, the doctor bends towards one of the boxes, and opens it in front of me. Inside are mutilated limbs, arms and legs from the knee down or entire femurs, amputated from the injured who had come from the UN Fakhura School in Jabalia, more than 50 victims until now. Pretending I had an urgent phone call, I take my leave of Jamal; in fact, I head to the toilet, double up, and vomit.�

This Week in Blu-ray: May 31, 2011
Blu-ray Spotlight By Neil Miller on May 31, 2011 | Be the First To CommentIt's another buy-happy week of Blu-ray selections here on This Week in Blu-ray. Warner Bros. comes correct with a brilliant release of A Clockwork Orange, George Lucas does video commentary and doesn't talk about Star Wars, vampires and werewolves tear each others' clothes off, Nic Cage kills just about everyone, Javier Bardem is handsome and someone thought it would be a good idea to put Megan Fox and Mickey Rourke together on-screen. It was not. Reading this Blu-ray column, however, is a great idea. A Clockwork Orange: 40th Anniversary Edition A Clockwork Orange is one of those great films that I've had the honor of seeing properly projected. Of course, that was at 3am during a sci-fi marathon and I may have slept through the second act, but the fact remains: I've seen what it's supposed to look like. So when I report that it looks even better on Blu-ray, that's not something to take lightly. This week's Pick was an easy one. Warner Bros. has handled Stanley Kubrick's ultra-violent masterpiece with great care. From the sturdy, book-like packaging to the fresh Blu-ray exclusive features (including one where Malcolm McDowell looks back 40 years later and another that considers the cultural impact of the film's violent nature), everything is in step with the greatest expectations for what this release should look like. It's a collector's item and a wonderful celebration of a film that, even after 40-years, still holds up as a stunning testimony to the greatness of Stanley Kubrick.
Oscar Breakdown: Best Actor in a Leading Role
Features By Nathan Adams on February 21, 2011 | Comments (7)This article is part of our Oscar Week Series, where you will find breakdowns and predictions for all of the major categories. If you want to separate the actors who are just good from the ones who are truly great, the best way to do it is to look at the winners of the Best Actor Oscar. Without exception the greats are the ones who win the award, and the ones who don't are proven to just not be elite level actors. It's science. Or, probably, none of that is true at all. The fact is: there are a lot of reasons someone might be nominated for an Academy Award and someone else might not be. And there are even more reasons why one of those nominees goes on to win and the others don't. Quality of performance is not necessarily the end-all be-all. But the Best Actor award is probably one of the Oscars that has best retained its credibility over the decades. There aren't a lot of stinker performances that have been wrongly praised muddying up the list. To have your name appear alongside greats like Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy, Humphrey Bogart, Marlon Brando, Sidney Poitier, Paul Newman, Robert De Niro, and Sir Nicolas Cage is still seen as being a rare honor. So what does the field look like this year? With my guess highlighted in red, the nominees are…
The Rites of the Reject Report
Box Office By Jeremy Kirk on January 26, 2011 | Be the First To CommentJust slightly different than the rites of spring. There's less sun, less green on the trees, and a whole lot more Tony Hopkins flipping out at the sight of holy water. It's okay, though. He's not alone. Jason Statham is doing his best Charles Bronson impression for the counter-programming. Okay. He's not doing a Bronson impression at all, but he is starring in the remake of The Mechanic. He's also brought along Ben Foster, which may only add to the strangeness of it all. Did I say "may", because I meant "absolutely." It's what's in store for the wide releases this weekend, so let's get to that analysis.
Envelope Please: The 2011 Academy Award Nominees
Movie News By Scott Beggs on January 25, 2011 | Comments (14)At the end of the 90s, famous Oscar show writer and Celebrity Fit Club contestant Bruce Vilanch claimed that, "Generally with the Oscars…there isn't much you can do until the nominations are announced. Then you know what kind of year you're dealing with – what's been overlooked, what the issues are." He was talking about preparing to write the show, but it applies to everyone from the directors, producers and stars on down to the fans. It's fun to guess around the water cooler (your office still has a water cooler?), but until now, it's all been speculation. Thankfully, almost all that speculation has been spot on, so we can all continue our conversations about whether Black Swan will beat The Social Network for Best Picture. Whether Natalie Portman has any true competition for Best Actress. Whether, most importantly of all, Colleen Atwood will beat Mary Zophres for Best Costume Design. Here they are. The 2011 Academy Award nominees:
We realize that you're probably sitting at home right now, chewing your own nails off and wondering what movies are coming out this month. Maybe you're even wondering why no one on the entire internet has said anything about them. Strange, we know. Fortunately, Rob Hunter and Cole Abaius spent the entire month of December combing through Wikileaks, calling Cleo, and building balsa wood trailers to make sure that you, dear reader, are in the know about what's coming out in January. You watch movies, so this guide's for you.

For all the penguin lovers out there, these guys (or girls) can't give you a birthday hug but they will surely bring a smile to your face.
This Chinstrap penguin — named for the black stripe under its chin — was recorded for posterity by Russian photographer Sergey Kokinsky as it and its buddies danced on Half Moon Island in Antarctica, according to The Sun.
In January, among a sea of black and white penguins on the continent's Aitcho Islands, National Geographic Explorers spotted an extremely rare, nearly all-white Chinstrap penguin.
According to SeaWorld's website, there are nearly 6.5 breeding pairs of these penguins.

Rider Info: I look at my whole career as an achievement I get to do what I love and get paid for it and live in Hawaii at the same time. I'm so thankful that my parents supported me and allowed me to follow my dreams. Every once in a while you'll surprise yourself with something you thought you could never do. From the perspective of people who don't windsurf it's not an accomplishment but for those who do it's a great accomplishment. These are my favorite moments being involved in this great act of nature and performing at a high level for you at that moment nothing else matters!

Android fragmentation forced Google to cut WebView support for 930 million devices
The European Parliament is set to host a debate on cyber security and cybercrime that could radically alter the data sharing and disclosure laws for the region.
The debate is scheduled to take place in the early evening on Wednesday and includes presentations on cybercrime and protecting privacy in the cloud.
Most notably these discussions include sections on the infamous US Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Amendment Act (FISAAA).
FISAAA has drawn interest from numerous privacy groups. The groups have warned that if made law the policy will enable the US government to spy on data held with US cloud providers without needing to obtain a warrant.
Some groups have since expressed concerns that the meeting could lead to similar measures affecting European cloud providers being implemented.
However, an EC spokesman moved to dismiss such concerns, telling V3 the body is aware of the report and has considered it with regard its own strategy, but does not believe it will have an impact.
"We're taking a look at the report, and are always interested in practical improvements that help implementation of our policies. But the basic framework of the cloud computing strategy is set and won't be changing," said the spokesman.
Partner at law firm Field Fisher Waterhouse, Stewart Room, agreed it was unlikely the European Parliament would consider such drastic measures.
"The Draft Cybersecurity Directive contains an Article 13 a power that will enable the EU to co-operate with other countries to maintain cyber security and in theory at least, this could include data sharing," Room told V3.
"However, it's unlikely to lead to US law enforcement agencies having access to cloud data."
However, Room said businesses should be more concerned on the US FISAAA policy, which could potentially slow cloud adoption in Europe.
"Some businesses may be concerned and it is an issue that some will want to factor into their cloud adoption strategies," Room told V3.
"There is always a risk that adverse publicity around this issue will have a knock-on effect for US cloud businesses."
The Parliament meeting comes just after the European Commission unveiled its new cyber strategy.
The strategy held similar policies designed to force businesses related to critical infrastructure areas to disclose data on "significant cyber incidents" on their networks.
