The playwright Simon Gray puffed his way up these stairs to see his old friend Weldon towards the end of 1993. Gray had completed a new play, Cell Mates, about the escape to Russia of the spy George Blake. He was proud of it and knew it could be a success. Weldon agreed, especially when he heard Gray's ideas about casting.
As Sean Bourke, the Irishman who sprung Blake from prison, Gray suggested Rik Mayall. For Blake, a donnish, cruel man, capable of sending innocent men to their deaths, he desperately wanted Stephen Fry, again a TV comedian, but a man also known as a wit, author, and Jeeves to Hugh Laurie's Wooster. Fry was cast before Mayall. In fact, they were so keen to have him that they postponed the opening to fit in with his commitments.
They soon knew the move had been worthwhile. In the four weeks that the play was at Guildford and Richmond, it sold out completely. When it transferred to the Albery Theatre in the West End the prospects looked good. £150,000 in advance bookings would not impress Andrew Lloyd Webber, but for a serious play with a cast of five, it was decidedly healthy. The first week played to 70 per cent houses; the expectation was that this would increase to 80 per cent once the reviews were published.
Certainly that was the feeling at the first night party, hosted by Gray, Weldon and Fry at the Groucho Club where the celebrities included Gary Lineker and the actor Simon Ward, who had hotfooted it from his appearance in On Approval. Weldon's only sadness was that his two stars were only contracted for 13 weeks. He would have liked to have extended the run.
The next morning the first of the reviews came out. And here is the chief irony of the whole saga. It has become, thanks to Fry's various faxed mea culpae, part of West End theatre legend that Cell Mates, and particularly Fry, got bad reviews. They didn't. The overnight reviews were largely good, with Fry singled out for praise by the Daily Mail, and by the Daily Express. A day later, the broadsheets were more measured, but still largely complimentary. Fry must be the first actor in theatrical history to have invented bad reviews.
When Weldon visited the cast that Friday night, they were very cheerful. Fry was in good form at a party thrown by Griff Rhys Jones the next day - joking (it seemed) that he longed to return to teaching. But then the Sunday papers came out. The reviews, though slightly less enthusiastic,were by no means stinkers - but they did note that Fry was unmistakably Fry in his portrayal of George Blake. Still, Duncan Weldon was relatively happy. After 30 years in the business, he knew that, though actors like Robert Morley, Wilfred Hyde White and Rex Harrison who "were bigger than the parts they played" and kept their own personalities on stage, might excite critical ambivalence, audiences loved them.
But on Monday, Weldon's first call of the day was from Fry's agent, Lorraine Hamilton. She had received a fax from Fry telling her that he had become depressed, and had gone away.Would she send on various letters he had left in his flat? One was to his mother and father, another to his sister, another to Simon Gray, another to Rik Mayall. In his haste, he had neglected to send one to Weldon, the man who paid his wages. An embarrassed Hamilton said she didn't know what else to say.
That night a startled Mark Anderson, Fry's understudy, arriving at the theatre just 45 minutes before curtain up, and expecting another night playing chess, was told to change in the number 2 dressing room. He would be appearing in a few minutes. Fry had flu. The situation remained the same for the next few days, a trial for all concerned, not least Rik Mayall, who feared for the safety of his friend and who got more tearful backstage as the week went on.
But pragmatic decisions had to be made. Anderson was doing well but the show needed two stars. Gray, who had cancelled his holiday, phoned a stunned Simon Ward, whose run in On Approval had, providentially, come to an end. Ward saw a matine, then learned the part in three days. He took to the stage the following Wednesday.
But while Ward was watching the matine, the story of Fry's disappearance broke. Simon Gray put out a press release saying Fry had gone, and expressing his and the cast's concern. Two days later, Fry sent his famous fax from Bruges, saying the critics had got it right; he was "a silly old fool."
His friends were relieved to know he was safe, but Fry's tone did not amuse Weldon or Gray. What Fry had done was worse than being silly. There was big money involved. Gray, attending the theatre night after night, watched the audiences evaporate. First week houses of 70 per cent fell to 40 per cent in the second week, and 20 per cent in the third and fourth. For Weldon, one theatrical clich was forever demolished. "This proves the nonsense of the saying that all publicity is good publicity. The public perception was that if the play wasn't good enough for Fry, it wasn't good enough for them."
Inside the Albery, feelings towards Fry were changing profoundly. Despite critical acclaim, Rik Mayall dreaded the perception that, without Fry, he had been unable to carry the production. He would say nothing in public, but Gray, whose reputation as a leading playwright would have been cemented by a successful West End run, was less reserved. He issued a press release asking why this "squalid little story" had been emphasised at the expense of excellent performances from Mayall and Ward. It was this phrase, rather than his praise for Mayall and Ward, which excited the press.
In Duncan Weldon's office the phone calls were becoming more serious. The show was insured for a star actor becoming ill, but as Weldon remarked at the time, "I insure against illness, but I don't insure against disappearing actors." His insurers told him he must produce a medical certificate for Fry. Lorraine Hamilton somehow got this message to Fry, allowing her to tell the press later of his return to England for a day to see his doctor, who had confirmed he was suffering from a depressive illness.
As it turned out it wasn't a great help. Weldon's insurers told him they wanted Fry to be examined by a doctor appointed either by them or the producers. But when Weldon's lawyers passed the message on to Fry's solicitors, the request was turned down.
By the end of last week the play had lost £30,000 - not including the profits that might have been made if Fry had remained. These they calculated as a further £300,000. Peter Wilkins, Weldon's number two, was dispatched on Friday evening to give the cast two weeks notice. The play would close on 25 March. As Weldon says, "The only actor who would have been surprised would have been a blind actor who couldn't see the empty seats." Gray had had enough. He rearranged his holiday and flew off to Bermuda.
Two questions remain after what Weldon, who still thinks highly of Fry, describes as the most bizarre episode in his 30 years experience. Will Weldon sue Fry (and if he does, it will be for some £600,000) - and can Fry work in the West End again?
The first question is still debatable, but it is already clear that Fry is unlikely to work in the West End again. If he is prone to depressive illness then he is a big insurance risk. If he wasn't ill, he might be viewed as a risk of another kind. For if he wasn't ill, his actions were those of the stereotypic luvvie. And in the cash-conscious, hard-bitten world of West End theatre, that is the one sin that cannot be forgiven.

Indebted 2.3Mature
"I know it's an embarrassing happenstance to have your clothes soaked with juice, Lauren, but you have to know you can't simply leave school without warning anyone."
Principal Rodney was probably the most boring person in history. He talked shatner-style; like every word was a sentence of it's own, taking half a minute to say what should take five second. He wasn't very good to be with either; An aging, balding black man with a truly horrible pornstache who always smelled like baby powder. "You should have come to my office and we'd have taken steps to rectify the situation"
"I know, I know." I said, rolling my eyes and mustering that level teenage insolence that made adults think we were nothing but wastes of oxygen.
Maybe normally I'd be nicer, but after an attempted assassination and being sworn into service to a vampire. Being sent to the principal's office seemed irrelevant to my existence. I was acting like a jerk, but he didn't seem to care, a skin thick enough to stop bullets was probably a requirement for dealing with four hundred people like me. He continued to talk and I only paid the most cursory attention to what he was saying.
"Which is why I'll have to give you detention during the lunch period."
Of course he was completely oblivious as to why that whole disaster had happened. To him, it was just a case of 'Student embarrass herself in front of the class and panics'
"Can I go back to class?"
He sighed. "Yes, Lauren."
I grabbed my bag and left. As Lionel had said, my legs had healed almost perfectly overnight, I still had a tiny limp, but nobody had questioned it. Whatever the mixture had been, it was magical, probably literally.
I came into classes as it had already started fifteen minutes ago. I gave the teacher, Mr Greenfield, my permission slip and sat down at the last available seat, carefully checking it for liquid, tacks or similar nasty surprises. Assigned seating was a pain as it allowed people to easily leave gifts for me. I opened my geography manual and listened to the teacher.
The day's lesson was on Emerald Bay's history, or rather how little impact the city has had on history. From it's foundation in 1782 and it's incorporation in 1854, the city had been overshadowed by just about every other city in California in term of population, culture and anything that really mattered, the 3rd biggest city in California was nothing but a footnote in history, nobody famous had come from here and no significant event had happened. The thought was kind of depressing; a city condemned to mediocrity…
And yet, the Vampire lord of California had made it it's home and by the look of it, the supernatural community was large… There had to be a reason, right?
"Lauren." The teacher said, stirring from my daydreaming. "Would you tell us who the architect who designed the Financial district was?"
"Adolf Horowitz." I answered. I'd always had a great memory, I never really needed to study, just reading a factoid once seemed to permanently brand it into my mind. This really didn't help my reputation as being a colossal nerd… It was probably something to do with my vampiric heritage.
"And you're right. Mr Horowitz was a German architect who designed the famous St. Michael Square where the Emerald Needle now stands." The teacher continued droning on about factoids that nobody could possibly care about. The Emerald Needle was what happened if you stole the CN tower in Toronto and painted it green. How bad is your city when even your landmarks are copies of another city?
I put my head against my crossed arms on the desk. I was so tired, having come home at three in the morning hadn't left me much time to sleep. Thankfully my mom had been completely oblivious as to my nightly activity.
Without warning my left hand jerked upward and before I knew it I was holding something. I lowered it to my eye level and saw the eraser someone had thrown my way. I raised my head and saw one of the boy who'd sometimes hang out with Emma with a look that screamed 'busted' on his face.
I let out a small growl and pulverized the eraser in my hand, letting the debris fall on the desk. I wondered if the power over the police Coil had claimed to possess would let me break someone's face and walk away cleanly… I opted against it, was better not to try to abuse his influence maybe eight hours after signing up… Beside, my mom would have been so disappointed if I did… She would have also been horrified to know what had happened the night prior, but I'd keep it a secret as long as possible.
The rest of the day was a slow crawl. Second period was Gym which meant sitting on the bench studying. It didn't matter if it was serious or not, sport made my blood boil, letting that predatory instinct out. Result, I skipped on all of it, it hadn't been too hard to fake being ill, my heart naturally beat slowly and if I'd get excited, It went the opposite, beating to ridiculous height. The doctor had signed me as unfit for physical activity… Not that I needed it, a perk of vampiric heritage was remaining at peak physical condition, even if I spent all my evenings watching tv and eating chips.
Detention meant I only had 20 minutes to eat lunch and had to spend the rest of the hour and a half in a classroom turning my thumbs, not much of a punishment for me as it was always what I did during lunch regardless. I hadn't had any friends since I'd came out three years ago… Well, Jimmy had stuck for a while, but he'd left because of the bullying for associating with me. Still, I didn't blame him.
Then the next period was English. No assigned seating, so I was safe. I chose a seat near the back. Although I didn't like English class much, nor the teacher, it was always a breather because Miss Bishop had the eyes of a hawk, she'd catch any foul play going on.
The last class of the day was French with Ms. Snow. The old woman was always nice or at least polite seeing as I was her best student. Having a French Canadian mother had some advantage even if you couldn't remember having ever been in your home country.
When school finished, I was just about to pass out from how tired I was. I dragged my feet to the bus stop, too tired to even register the handful of derogatory comments thrown my way. They were getting pretty repetitive, there were only so many way one could call me a shemale, a he-she or a faggot. I didn't have to stand it for long, busses were very frequent near the time school ended.
I almost feel asleep on the bus, but made it home before crashing on the couch, I dozed off on it really soon.
"Lauren." Someone said. "Lauren."
"Uh?" I muttered, half-asleep.
"Are you alright?" It was my mom or a blurry blob shaped like her using her voice. It was hard to tell without glasses.
"Yeah, just tired, didn't sleep much last night."
"Did something happen?"
"No, just a little stress I think." I answered, not very believably.
"Alright then." She responded. I wasn't sure she was convinced. I just hoped she'd chalk it up to school matters. "Can you set the table?"
Setting the table was more an expression than anything as we didn't have one, just the breakfast bar. I was so drowsy that it took me a moment to smell the food, my mother had elected to let me sleep while she had prepared dinner. Soon enough, she dropped a plate of Chili in front of me before sitting down to my left.
"How was your day?" She asked.
"Was fine." I said between two spoonful of food. "Yours?"
"Busy and cold, I've been put in charge of the terrace."
My mother had left home without so much as a high school diploma, over the next fifteen years, she'd sunk all of her time into providing and raising for me, so she had to work two jobs; one was as a waitress a small restaurant in the southern edge of the boardwalk, not far from Chinatown, the other was serving coffee at a Starbucks, neither of which paid well.
"You know… I could get a job and help you." I offered. "I have the spare time." What I didn't mention were the two hundred and fifty grand in my metaphorical pocket.
"It's alright, sweetheart, I can handle it. Beside, it's better you focus on school."
"Okay…" I felt cowed by her answer.
She was about to say something. When she was interrupted by beeping. I'd forgotten to turn my phone off. This was bad. I sheepishly took it out.
"Since when do you have a phone?" she asked me.
"A friend gave me his old one." I lied, but the model looked not too far from an old Nokia. "Do you mind?" She made a sign to go ahead.
"Hello?" I answered, walking to my room. Not that it gave much privacy with the walls as thin as cardboard.
"Hello miss Lauren. Do you require a lift for tonight? You're due to be here in an hour and a half." It was Lionel.
"Oh, hello, Lionel, it would be great if you could pick me up."
"Alright, Mr Shinoda will be here within twenty minutes. We'll see you later." He hung up without waiting for my response.
"See ya." I told nobody.
I walked out of the room and my mom gave me an inquisitive glare.
"Who was that."
"My friend Lionel, I forgot we had a thing scheduled tonight."
"You never told me about him."
I started blushing, more because I was feeling cornered and pressured, but maybe my mom read it as embarrassment. "He's really nice, I met him and Seb a bit ago. They've invited me to their place."
"Where is it?" She looked suspicious.
"Somewhere on Mountainside, I don't know the address."
She looked extremely suspicious. She wasn't buying it.
"I'll have to go soon, 'kay." I hated lying to her.
"Please be careful." She said, wrapping her mama-bear arms around me. "I'm always afraid when you're away that someone will hurt or use you."
"Don't worry, mom, I can take care of myself." I kept hugging her, losing myself in her warmth. After a while, I heard someone press their car's horn a few times. I looked out the door and saw the way too nice car for the ghetto waiting below. "Bye." was all I managed to say.
I practically jumped down the stairs, landing by landing and hopped into the car where Mr. No-first-name-provided Shinoda was waiting. He was a Japanese man somewhere in his mid 20's wearing formal clothes that had been casually messed-up and his hair gelled and swept.
"Where to?" He asked in his slightly baritone voice.
"Coil's Mansion." I declared.

Zombie Wonderland 2

Published: 2014-05-26, by Peter Warrior.
Zombie Wonderland was previewed a few weeks ago, here.
Chuck is a zombie cleaner, which is an upright and honest job, who lives and works in Niceville, a great place to both live and grew in. Unless you mind about zombies, of course.
It's quite hard to explain how Zombie Wonderland 2 works. A grosso modo, it isn't different from a time management game where you have to board up windows, shoot zombies down thanks to Betsy the shotgun and clean all the mess up with a mop instead of refilling shelves and attending customers. If you don't get eaten alive nor lose your brains out you'll be rewarded using the three star rating so in vogue these times according to how much green slime is left around. To cheer all up, there's a hourglass that badly ends the current mission whenever time runs out.
Gameplay is kinda overly dramatic, histrionic if you would, because everything happens very fast, some essential actions as blowing up the head to a passer-by zombie requires one single tap, while reinforcing a window may need up to ten taptaptaptap and zombies are getting near grrrrwl arrrgh and you have to clean everything up splash splurt squirt. Hope you understand. ZW2 is very funny yet it can become hateful very quickly.
Not everything are perks, though. Stage loadings can be a pain, and ads, even when don't interfere in game, require to be online. An other point to fix on next updates is that game should prevent screen from dimming out, so it'd be better if you paid due attention to the game unless you want to find yourself with your device locked, lagged and in the desktop.
Anyway, it doesn't matter how you look, shoot or mop it. Zombie Wonderland 2 was fated to be one of the most fun games all throughout this year and, honestly (as honest as Chuck is) it has meet all the expectations and beyond. And (let it be a biiig AND) it's free from the start to the end. As usual, there are some in-app purchase to boost your prowess, but if you can survive to ads, you should be able to survive to a handful of zombies, shouldn't you?
Xoobis guys may have found pleasure exceeding their own expectations, because they've brought something really big to Android.

Happy 2017.
It's a new year, a new world, and I'm tackling this blogging thing with renewed vigor.
At the end of 2016, I left my job in Hong Kong, broke lease on my flat, tossed my things into a storage unit in gritty, industrial East Kowloon, and hopped a one-way flight to Bangkok. The autumn and winter took me to Thailand, Myanmar (Burma), Vietnam, back to Hong Kong, Japan, Chicago, Los Angeles, and New Orleans - twice!
In an effort to make sense of what I've seen, reflect on how far I've come, remind me how much work I have yet to do, and chart my next steps, I'll be updating this blog every other week with photo essays - and not just food ones.
Enjoy, get in touch, share feedback, and remember to never stop moving and resisting.

Alla Siciliana in Seoul
My father started visiting Korea for business in the mid-nineties. The Asian Financial Crisis hit, Kia was absorbed by Hyundai, Samsung's automotive venture was dissolved, and Daewoo got swallowed up by GM. The won had tanked and pickings were bountiful for an American industrial machinery broker. My father alternated between praise for Korean resilience, admiration of how Korea had transformed itself in the wake of the war, and, as a picky eater, lamenting over the food.
"Even the pizza has kimchi on it!" He complained.
I witnessed Korea's ascent to trendsetter status throughout Asia — and the world — as part of the hallyu movement, visiting for the first time in 2015. I returned in June 2016 for my friend Hanna's beautiful wedding. The day after the ceremony, a group of us ended up wandering around in search of sustenance to pad our stomachs before crushing a beer tasting at Magpie Brewing Company's taproom near Hongik University. Missing out on The BEASTRO's brunch menu by mere minutes, we took a chance on the much-buzzed-about Pizzeria D'Buzza's new location in Hongdae.
I'm pleased to inform you that Seoul's finally gotten the pizza right.

This past weekend I experienced the joy of my first yakyū outing with Kobe residents and Hanshin Tigers superfans Greg and Charron. Even twenty-some years of Chicago Cubs games couldn't prepare me for the spirited match-up between the Tigers and the formidable Hiroshima Carp. From fan cheers to chu-hai and yakitori to jerseys customized to the nines, Japanese baseball culture isn't a mere facsimile of North America's; it's a completely different beast.

Thailand is the best food destination I've ever visited, bar none.

Chipman family to hold reunion

A potluck lunch will begin at 1 p.m.
For more information, call June Griffin at 859-903-9637.
The Grant County Fair and Horse Show may only last nine days, but it takes weeks and months of preparation.
"It's pretty hectic and it's hot," said Tena Webster, president of the fair board. "We just got to keep a list of things to do and keep it down to a minimum. We do have a new trailer to sell our food out of. So, a lot of our efforts have gone to fixing that up to get it ready."
The fair is nearly here, but the Homemakers quilting club has been knitting, sewing and embroidering away for months.
"I spend a lot of time sewing, and a lot of weeks I spend everyday sewing," said Bonny Glass.
Glass has a total of five different items to enter in the Grant County Fair this year. For some of her pieces, like quilt tops, it will take her three to four months to complete. She also volunteers during the fair.
With a heat index up as high as 105 degrees, the temperatures have been brutal throughout Grant County the past couple weeks.
While some may steer clear of the beating sun and stay in air conditioning, those who work or play in the extreme heat have it the worst.
Here is how some Grant Countians are beating the hear.
Grant County athletes stay hydrated
The Grant County High School athletic programs have been dealing with the heat since the July 15 official practice startup.
LeeAnn Fryman, John Siedenberg II and Jacob Siedenberg have all been breaking a leg this summer, figuratively speaking. The actors have been lending their talents to the Kincaid Regional Theatre, in Falmouth, in the play, "Smoke on the Mountain."
John Siedenberg II is stepping off of center stage and in to the background for a chance to direct his first play.
Siedenberg, a 2009 Williamstown High School graduate, recently wrote "Beauty of Innocence," a story about teen pregnancy. His directorial debut will be at Kincaid Regional Theater and will star a couple of Grant County actors.
Cherry Grove Pentecostal to host golf scramble
The Cherry Grove Pentecostal Church of God will hold a golf scramble beginning at 2 p.m. Aug. 13 at Fairway Golf Course in Wheatley, Ky.
Manger Ministries, operated by Lawrenceville Baptist Church, located on Ky. 1993 in Corinth, will be closing their clothing closet until the construction of a new building to house the ministry is completed.
The public in invited to browse their inventory and take what they need absolutely free from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. July 29-30. Call Lisa at (859) 462-2362 for more information.
New events, musical entertainment and a way to avoid parking headaches highlight the 2011 Grant County Fair and Horse Show.
The week-long festivities at the Northern Kentucky Fairgrounds on Baton Rouge Road in Williamstown will be July 29 to Aug. 6.
Rides will begin at 6 p.m. Monday, Aug. 1 and go through the last day of the fair.
Admission is $8 per person and includes unlimited rides and grandstand events.

Postmenopausal women who quit smoking reduced their risk of heart disease, regardless of whether they had diabetes, according to a new study conducted by Juhua Luo, an epidemiologist at the Indiana University School of Public Health-Bloomington.
Her findings, "Smoking Cessation, Weight Change and Coronary Heart Disease Among Postmenopausal Women With and Without Diabetes," were published this week in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Women who gained more than 5 kilograms or 11 pounds after they quit smoking still saw their risk for cardiovascular disease drop. But their risk didn't drop as much as for those who gained less than 11 pounds, which Luo notes was the majority of the women.
"Our study found that if you quit smoking, even for older women, the benefits start pretty quickly, within years," said Luo, assistant professor in the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the School of Public Health. "It's never too late to benefit from quitting smoking."
The study analyzed data for 104,391 postmenopausal women ages 50 to 79 who participated in the National Institutes of Health-funded Women's Health Initiative. Here are some of the findings:

Trying the PlasmidMature
August 22nd, 1957
God damn, what a day! I tried that plasmid thing and it hurt like a bitch. I actually blacked out a little when I injected it into me. My hands were shaking, started to glow a bright blue, and my vision got blurry. But when I tried it, oh God, the power. It's amazing! I set up a candle in front of me, pointed my fingers at it, and then a bolt of lightning came out of my fucking fingertips. The candle exploded. I couldn't fucking believe it! I started to just shoot the lighting all over my room at everything I could find. Pictures of my parents, a bottle of wine, a book, all of that is now burnt into tiny little crisps.
After I messed around with that I took a walk and ran into the most beautiful girl I've ever laid my eyes on. She has long blonde hair that falls just past the small of her back and eyes as blue as the ocean that's sitting outside this city. And her smile, dear lord. I almost blacked out a second time when I saw it.
I went to wave to her and when I did I accidently shot a bolt of lightning at her. When it hit her she shook like a leaf and then dropped to the floor. I thought I killed so I ran over and picked her up. Being the gentlemen that I am I took her to the medical ward (ran into Dr. Steinman there, he's a crazy fucker) and took her to the doctors. Luckily there doesn't seem to be many injures in Rapture so she got a room right away.
Feeling like I was going to puke, I sat in the waiting room until I was allowed in to see her. Luckily she's going to be fine. But when I went in to see her we got to talking. I must have apologized 50 times and every time she told me not to worry about it. She even invited me to dinner. Whenever she gets out of the medical ward we're having dinner at the Kashmir. I guess everything does happen for a reason.
Anyway, I'm dead tired. It's been on hell of a day. Oh! I almost forgot, the girls name is Rose. Didn't catch her last name though, I'll have to at dinner.

At present, India only has the Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana (RSBY) was envisaged to provide health insurance coverage to Below Poverty Line families. Its beneficiaries are entitled to hospitalisation coverage of up to Rs 30,000 for most diseases.
Read our full coverage on Union Budget 2016
"Catastrophic health events are the single most important cause of unforeseen out-of-pocket expenditure which pushes lakhs of households below the poverty line every year. Serious illness of family members cause severe stress on the financial circumstances of poor and economically weak families, shaking the foundation of their economic security," said Jaitley in his speech.
RSBY, launched by the labour and employment ministry on April 1, 2008. Here, the coverage extends to five members of a family-head of the household, spouse and up to three dependents. Beneficiaries need to pay only Rs 30 as registration fee, while Central and state governments pay premium to the insurer.
Expressing his views on the Budget, Sandeep Patel, MD & CEO, Cigna TTK Health Insurance, said, "The budget proposal to launch a new health protection scheme will ensure penetration of health insurance and promote financial inclusion. The proposal for additional Rs 30, 000 health cover for senior citizens will help reduce the burden of healthcare expenditure for the aged."
Inflation in health insurance is in double digits according to various estimates. In this segment, health insurance costs are high for senior citizens as also premium for health covers since risks associated with them are high.

Why does it take at least 10 minutes to scan one device for me? I go to a specific device, manually scan it, 10 minutes later it's still scanning. I don't want to even try to scan a specific range.
At the top, it's been saying:
Currently Checking network health -- click to learn more
For about half an hour. Clicking the link does nothing.

Well, I admit , that " Currently Running network scan -- click to learn more" link can be confusing since you don't really know either its running network discovery or just network health check scanning routine.
I am pretty much sure SW is running scheduled network health check which is why you think it gets stacked to one particular device that is not responding or something.
I may be wrong though!

Honda scraps 1,000 flood-ravaged cars in Thailand
(BANGKOK-AFP) – Japanese automaker Honda on Tuesday began destroying more than 1,000 cars in Thailand to reassure customers that no vehicles damaged in the country's recent flood crisis will ever be sold.
The scrapping process at Honda's plant in the central province of Ayutthaya is expected to take one month, the company said in a statement.
The plant is located in the Rojana Industrial Park, where heavy flooding in early October brought production to a halt and aerial pictures showed hundreds of new cars submerged in muddy water.
"While we were able to relocate many new cars that were awaiting shipment to a safe area, 1,055 vehicles that remained in the plant were finally damaged by the flood," said Pitak Pruittisarikorn, executive vice president of Honda Automobile Thailand.
"We will not sell any of the damaged cars to customers, or sell or reuse any of the parts," he added.
Most of the cars to be scrapped are mid-sized City sedans and Brio and Jazz hatchbacks. Production has yet to resume at the factory.
Thailand said earlier this month that over 700 people died in the floods, which at their height affected 65 of the 77 provinces in the low-lying nation and forced the closure of seven major industrial parks, disrupting global supply chains.
The waters have since receded significantly but many areas still face a major clean-up operation.

Existing customers
Manage your existing pension fund, and see how bringing your pension pots together may be a good solution for you. Our short film helps explain how consolidation works.
Keep in mind that what you'll get back depends on several things, for example how your investments perform and how they're taxed. You may get back less than you invested. Transferring may not be the best option for you.
If you are still unsure about anything, we recommend you speak to a financial adviser. Alternatively, our associates are available at Aegon Assist.
Pension consolidation
More and more of us are switching jobs several times in our lives. This means that our pension funds are often scattered about, which can make it hard to get a complete picture of our savings or how on track we are for retirement. Moving your retirement savings into one pot, in one place, can help you take control.
Consolidating your retirement savings brings clarity and convenience, puts you firmly in control and cuts down on paperwork. It might even save you money by avoiding multiple charges.
It might not always be in your best interest to transfer an existing pension. So if you're unsure about this or any other financial decision you should seek financial advice. If you need more support, Pension Wise(Opens new window) is a free and impartial service that helps you understand your new pension options.

SEP AG is releasing the source code for its SEP Sesam Multiplex Stream Server (SMS) under GPLv2. It is also releasing APIs and command line interfaces with which users can access the software. SEP's Linux/UNIX client has been open source all along.
SEP AG chairman Georg Moosrainer explains: "The law in Europe stipulates that all businesses and institutions have the ability, without a third party, to recover and read their data. That is why we are providing the open source community with the source code for our Server/Master Server modules. Our users now have the added security that their backed up data will always be usable."
The further licensing and sales model for SEP products will not change because of the open sourcing, however. Components such as the Windows client and the GUI, along with modules for databases and groupware applications, will remain proprietary.
An overview of SEP's open source policy is on its wiki. Downloads as tarballs are available.

Collect your choice of gallery quality Giclée, or fine art prints custom trimmed by hand in a variety of sizes with a white border for framing.
I was looking for some PSD files of transparent glass ball jars when I was working on my Glasshouse I and Glasshouse II images, but couldn't find any throughout the web.
I thought that was something that was missing for manipulators...
So I make mine available now. You can download them here http://ginangiela.deviantart.com/art/Ball-Glass-Jars-342343459 or email me to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Features of the PSD files:
Each file comes a long with a whole lot of single layers - all labeled and arranged in groups - that you can switch on and off and edit yourself.
Jar frames and reflections are all on separate layers so they can be edited as well, changed in shade and opacity etc.
Jar cracks and splashing pieces of glass can be switched on and off so the jar can be used as intact or broken.
Content can be easily added into the jar as the center is transparent.
The first file of glass jar (left in the picture) consists of:
- resolution: 3888 x 2988
- five groups (intact jar, broken jar, glass cracks, splashing pieces of glass, glass pieces inside jar)
- altogether 72 PSD layers
The second file of glass jar (right in the picture) consists of:
- resolution: 2977 x 2705
- two groups (intact jar, broken jar)

Quiet Time Is Necessary in Our Loud World
According to the 17th Century French philosopher Blaise Pascal, "All men's miseries derive from not being able to sit in a quiet room alone." Such a statement may sound a bit overwrought for most moderns, however, it is a well-known fact that ubiquitous exposure to noise is one of the great stress factors of our time. Unfortunately, even for those who seek it, silence is hard to come by.
To be sure, not everybody suffers from lack of quiet. Most of us are now used to being constantly connected with the outside world, with our workplace, with family and friends. It can be bothersome, but it can also be addictive.
A study by CNN found that most pre-teens and teenagers would rather be "grounded" at home than having their smart phones taken away from them as a form of punishment. Staying in touch via social media means more to these kids than almost anything else in life, according to the researchers who conducted the study.
Of course, craving for social interaction is not limited to young ones. Neuroscientists from the University of California Los Angeles discovered in a recent study that the human brain is wired to be social, especially when there is little else to do that requires attention. "The social nature of our brains is biologically based," they concluded.
Yet, experts warn that, although we may be social creatures, not having enough downtime to be by ourselves may have consequences we don't yet fully understand.
The fact that people make (or have to make) themselves constantly available for interaction increases the risk of "burnout," commonly defined as physical or mental collapse by overwork or stress, according to neurophysiologist and Nobel Prize laureate Thomas C. Südhof.
The pressure of always being within reach can become a form of chronic stress that affects how our brains function. Over time, this may lead to lasting damages. To counteract it, he says, we need regular breaks and time out to recover.
In addition to the onslaught of social demands, the sheer fact that most of us live in noisy environments makes things only worse. According to studies by the American Psychological Association, noise pollution plays a role in numerous health issues, including learning disabilities among children. By contrast, researchers found that when "quiet time" was introduced in selected schools, students found it easier to concentrate and had better peer relations.
Naturally, not everyone can decide to tune out and escape his or her world on a whim, even if nothing else would be more welcome. Finding a truly quiet spot for relaxation, meditation, or simply a short nap may be difficult. But there are other solutions. A walk in a nearby park after work or an afternoon in the woods or on a beach can do wonders.
Much of what we experience also depends on our attitude. Does that phone really have to be on 24/7? Can answering those e-mails wait a bit longer? What if you're not up on the latest news?
Letting it all go for a while may be a better choice. Besides, most of what you missed out on will still be there when you get back.
Food and Health with Timi Gustafson R.D.
There are several different kinds of meditation, and you may find that more than one of them is helpful for you. This guide from the Institute for Applied Meditation outlines eight of the main methods — including mindfulness (vipassana), which comes from the Buddhist tradition; transcendal, a meditative tradition of Hinduism; and qi gong, a Taoist form that works with breath and movement.
There are many reasons why meditation should be a part of your daily routine. A regular meditation practice can reduce stress, which has a host of potential health benefits including easing headaches, high blood pressure, and anxiety, notes WebMD. It could also help you fall asleep and get better rest, which is very important; people with poor sleep have been shown to be at a higher risk for accidents, weight gain, and diabetes, according to Harvard. And time set aside to meditate means time just for you — something we could all use more of!
If you're not convinced yet, studies have shown the benefits of meditation. Research published in 2011 showed that meditation could increase grey-matter density in areas of the brain associated with learning, memory, and emotion regulation, reported the Globe and Mail. Another study published in 2012 found that meditation classes, over the course of several years, were associated with reduced cardiovascular risk for people with coronary heart disease. And a five-year Harvard study is looking at how meditation may lead to changes in the brain activity, and even genes, of people who are chronically stressed.
There are many ways to meditate, which means there's one out there for you. Some people sit while meditating, while others lie down; you can go with the method you prefer, or mix it up based on where you're practicing. Either way, good posture helps you relax and breathe properly. You can close your eyes or keep them open, but if you prefer them open, try to keep your gaze down and unfocused. Most of all, try to find a time when you won't be interrupted — even if that means meditating for just five minutes. Put away your phone, get off the laptop, and focus! Mindful, a publication dedicated to bringing mindfulness to everyday life, has more tips for getting started with meditation.
The beauty of meditation is that you can do it anywhere. Obviously, it'd be great if you can do it sitting on a beach listening to the waves crash in, or in a quiet temple with an expert to guide you. But the key is actually doing it, not making sure you only meditate in the best possible environment. In your home, try to find a room where you can relax, be comfortable, and not be interrupted. However, you can also try it on the go — download an app or podcast (see some suggestions in slides 8 and 9) and make the most of your commute!
How do you know that all this mindfulness is doing its job? Sometimes it can be hard to tell, because it's not as obvious as other health practices: you don't have a cut that you can watch heal or a headache that goes away. But there are still ways to check in. Wildmild advises that you can tell that meditation is helping you if you begin to develop more concentration or start noticing things like your breathing or how particular parts of your body feel while you're meditating. You may also feel calmer overall and have improved posture. If you don't feel that meditation is working for you, don't be afraid to mix it up, as different approaches to practice work for different people.
The only things you truly need to meditate are time and yourself. But there are some items that can help you get zen. Try meditating lying on an acupressure mat like a Sponk, which can help with relaxation and loosening your muscles. A zabuton is a padded mat that makes it more comfortable and supportive to sit on the floor while meditating, and a zafu can help you sit cross-legged.
There are several apps that can help you establish a meditation practice. Buddhify 2 (iOS) gives you several meditations of varying lengths for a variety of situations, including "Eating" and "Can't Sleep." Omvana (iOS) lets you mix and match meditations with background sounds and music, and you can purchase new files from the app's built-in store. And Buddhist Meditation Trainer (Android) lets you work through ten levels of enlightenment with daily meditation.
Many meditation resources can be found online as well — even for free. Elisha Goldstein, the mental health blogger for Mindful, has a 10-minute body-scan video on YouTube that is a great short meditation. If you have a bit more time, try this 20-minute video that focuses on breathing. The Guardian ran a series of five podcasts about mindfulness that looked at bringing the practice into your everyday life. And UCLA posts a new guided meditation podcast every week.
You can also get some help in person by attending a meditation class or workshop. Many yoga studios offer classes, some of them combining meditation and yoga. Buddhist temples may also offer sessions that are open to the general public, often for a small donation. You can also look for a local Shambhala group — the organization often runs introductory meditation programs.
NEXT: Reasons To Love Meditation
Research published just last month in the journal Health Psychology shows that mindfulness is not only associated with feeling less stressed, it's also linked with decreased levels of the stress hormone cortisol.
It lets us get to know our true selves. Mindfulness can help us see beyond those rose-colored glasses when we need to really objectively analyze ourselves. A study in the journal Psychological Science shows that mindfulness can help us conquer common "blind spots," which can amplify or diminish our own flaws beyond reality.
Researchers from the University of California, Santa Barbara, found that college students who were trained in mindfulness performed better on the verbal reasoning section of the GRE, and also experienced improvements in their working memory. "Our results suggest that cultivating mindfulness is an effective and efficient technique for improving cognitive function, with widereaching consequences," the researchers wrote in the Psychological Science study.
A 2011 study in the journal Annals of Rheumatic Disease shows that even though mindfulness training may not help to lessen pain for people with rheumatoid arthritis, it could help to lower their stress and fatigue.
University of Oregon researchers found that integrative body-mind training -- which is a meditation technique -- can actually result in brain changes that may be protective against mental illness. The meditation practice was linked with increased signaling connections in the brain, something called axonal density, as well as increased protective tissue (myelin) around the axons in the anterior cingulate brain region.
Ever wondered why mindfulness meditation can make you feel more focused and zen? It's because it helps the brain to have better control over processing pain and emotions, specifically through the control of cortical alpha rhythms (which play a role in what senses our minds are attentive to), according to a study in the journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience.
Mindfulness meditation improves our focused engagement in music, helping us to truly enjoy and experience what we're listening to, according to a study in the journal Psychology of Music.
You don't have to actually be meditating for it to still benefit your brain's emotional processing. That's the finding of a study in the journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, which shows that the amygdala brain region's response to emotional stimuli is changed by meditation, and this effect occurs even when a person isn't actively meditating.
The health benefits of mindfulness can be boiled down to four elements, according to a Perspectives on Psychological Science study: body awareness, self-awareness, regulation of emotion and regulation of attention.
Doctors, listen up: Mindfulness meditation could help you better care for your patients. Research from the University of Rochester Medical Center shows that doctors who are trained in mindfulness meditation are less judgmental, more self-aware and better listeners when it comes to interacting with patients
Sure, we love all the things meditation does for us. But it could also benefit people we interact with, by making us more compassionate, according to a study in the journal Psychological Science. Researchers from Northeastern and Harvard universities found that meditation is linked with more virtuous, "do-good" behavior.
Research from the Jefferson-Myrna Brind Center of Integrative Medicine shows that mindfulness coupled with art therapy can successfully decrease stress symptoms among women with breast cancer. And not only that, but imaging tests show that it is actually linked with brain changes related to stress, emotions and reward.
Loneliness among seniors can be dangerous, in that it's known to raise risks for a number of health conditions. But researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles, found that mindfulness meditation helped to decrease these feelings of loneliness among the elderly, and boost their health by reducing the expression of genes linked with inflammation.
Not only will your health benefit from mindfulness meditation training, but your wallet might, too. Research in the American Journal of Health Promotion shows that practicing Transcendental Meditation is linked with lower yearly doctor costs, compared with people who don't practice the meditation technique.
Aside from practicing good hygiene, mindfulness meditation and exercise could lessen the nasty effects of colds. Researchers from the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Health found that people who engage in the practices miss fewer days of work from acute respiratory infections, and also experience a shortened duration and severity of symptoms.
As many as one in five pregnant women will experience depression, but those who are at especially high risk for depression may benefit from some mindfulness yoga. "Research on the impact of mindfulness yoga on pregnant women is limited but encouraging," study researcher Dr. Maria Muzik, M.D., an assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of Michigan, said in a statement. "This study builds the foundation for further research on how yoga may lead to an empowered and positive feeling toward pregnancy."
Teaching teens how to practice mindfulness through school programs could help them experience less stress, anxiety and depression, according to a study from the University of Leuven.
Trying to shed a few pounds to get to a healthier weight? Mindfulness could be your best friend, according to a survey of psychologists conducted by Consumer Reports and the American Psychological Association. Mindfulness training was considered an "excellent" or "good" strategy for weight loss by seven out of 10 psychologists in the survey.
We saved the best for last! A University of Utah study found that mindfulness training can not only help us better control our emotions and moods, but it can also help us sleep better at night. "People who reported higher levels of mindfulness described better control over their emotions and behaviors during the day. In addition, higher mindfulness was associated with lower activation at bedtime, which could have benefits for sleep quality and future ability to manage stress," study researcher Holly Rau said in a statement.

I didn't know it was an issue, but Justin Slayer is out to prove that black girls get nasty too. If nasty is defined as "having a large ass and having sex on film" then this flick is definitive evidence supporting his claim. Slayer has found fine looking women, all with what I can comfortably refer to as "ghetto booty," who have energetic sex and don't mind taking it in the aforementioned booty. The camera work is a bit too close for my liking, but the video definitely delivers what it promises....

The Night that Nothing Happened
She was sopposed to be the ace in life. The tricky one, the one or eleven, the shy, deep, logical, flirty, loud, crazy, spontinuitous girl. She was the free one, the one who could be both and have both.
So she couldn't figure out was the pain. Why did she feel like there was a sword in her chest, poisoned with regret, stabbing her from the inside out? Her loyal insight was betraying her, laying as idle as her body under the sheets. She had heard Carl sneak into Rachel's room, the room next door. The sweet funny blonde she wanted to get to know. She could hear them laughing together, their voices combined in a joyous harmony that made her stomach clench in an uncontrolable and unacceptable way. She was outraged, she couldn't understand these feelings. She wasn't going to allow temptation. It caused confusion.
She could make out the vibes of their quieted talk, their words rolling together undeciferable. Jealousy panged up and she had the urge to run in and join them, but why would she want to do that? She'd see Carl tomorrow. He'd run up to her from behind and throw his arms around her and make her laugh in a loud clear laugh that always suprised her. She smiled at the thought. They would go on their infamous hammack dates together for hours and laugh about awkwardness and try to read each other's minds. She rolled over about to close her eyes but a burst of laugher escaped through the wall and her throat seized up. She grabbed her journal and escaped from the room, her mind on fire.
She ran to the teacup, a small cozy closet in the wall on the way down to the craft room that only she knew about, and sought its comfort. Tears fired out of her eyes like bullets and hit like accusations. She wanted to unleash the hysterics, but the logical reasoning withheld her.
Why the hell was she sobbing? Carl was the escape artist when it came to sneaking out. He did it all the time and it really wasn't a big deal. Rachel was the sweetest girl and not someone to dislike over jealousy. The war raged on, splattering in wet drips on her bare thigh. She tried to quiet herself in the thought someone could hear her emotional sobs, and she tried to tell herself she really wanted to be alone. But that mind, that uncontrolable part that was unleashing rediculous tantrums was whispering pent up desires that he would hear. That he would know something was wrong and come looking for her. That he would find her and hold her and whisper into her soul the happiness she felt around him.
She could now picture so clearly picture his face, eyes lighting up on her smile, as she received a letter from her boyfriend. Her anticipation to open it cutting out her awareness of his reaction. Indicision flickered through her, and a wave of guilt hit like a tidal wave. She wasn't allowed to feel these things. She now felt so chained, and longed for freedom. His face blurred in her mind, except for his blue eyes. His smiling blue eyes that made her soul laugh inside.
And she thought of her boyfriend, the one far away who could always fix her and make her forget her problems, but never smile the way she did naturally around Carl. The nervousness in her stomach was getting to be too much and she opened her journal for a distraction, the easy way out. She relived tales of self accomplishment, tales of getting over restraining pasts, and excitement of upcoming challenges. She smiled as she lost herself in a world where everything was already written and solved and there was no indecision.
A creek from an unknown place jolted her into her current situation. She was recovered, sitting in a closet, the content duet mumbling had ceased and she wanted to sleep. She crept from the teacup, and about to slink into her room when the door next to her opened and a goddam smile lept from her unguarded lips. Her mind went blank as she sank into comfort. She found hands sliding into his as he slid past her and guided her down the stairs and into the barn soundlessly.
She found herself wrapped into his arms in a warm safe bubble and she didn't fight it. She let the warm ease into those coils of anxiety and unrest and the happiness fill her entirely. It bubbled inside as restless as caffine, and she asked playfully, "Shall we dance?"
And he responded by twirling her, and they began to waltz. She couldn't contain her energy as they twirled across the barn floor at some early hour in the morning. Her head tilted back and let the laugh dance from her soul into the night, and his eyes twinkled. He twirled her into his arms and held her close and sent a breath down her neck that sent her body into shivers.
They didn't look at the stars, or perhaps the rain splattering the green life. They held each other, swaying together and feeling the sparks cracking inside without whispering a word. There was nothing else in the world but breath and warmth as they pulled away. They locked eyes, and resisted that passionate urge to feel what the other's lips were like, because that wasn't what they were. They were friends. And like whisps he disappeared into the cool night air with her heart, and she up the stairs with rising hopes and an imbedded memory of his reassuring manly scent and a few bucket loads of denial. Perfection wasn't meant to be.

Chapter SevenMature
Demitri held my shoulders firmly as he carefully checked I was alright.
'I'm fine, stop fussing.' I tried to shrug him off but his grip on me held and I couldn't escape. He was thorough in his examination but as soon as he was satisfied nothing was broken he dropped his arms. 'Can I have some sort of explanation now? What was she on about? The chosen one?'
'Oh God. I really hoped this wouldn't happen so fast.' Demitri sat on the edge of the pavement with his hands in his hair.
'What is it that's happening? When I get attacked in the street I like to know why.' I sat next to him trying to get him to look at me. 'What is going on Demitri? You randomly appear in my life, stop my ex-boyfriend from beating me up and save my life all in one day. Something isn't right.'
'We can't talk about this here. I need to take you somewhere safe where no-one can listen in.' He went and picked up my bag holding the shoulderstrap out to me. I put it over my head and calmly followed him back the way we had come.
Demitri led me to what looked like a dilapidated pub, long out of business and starting to fall down.
'So this is where you call safe?' I didn't look too impressed.
'Don't judge a book by its cover, this place is probably the safest place for you anywhere.' He casually opened the door and the sound of voices poured out. 'Come on in.' Nervously and very aware I was still in my school uniform and was looking the worse for wear after being wrestled to the ground.
It was brighter in the pub than I had expected, although I hadn't expected any light at all. The room was full of people, mainly men but quite a few women too, all talking and drinking. But as soon as the door closed behind Demitri all eyes were on us.
'All right people nothing to see here.' Demetri waved people aside as he led me through the main bar area towards the back of the building. I felt my cheeks flushing as everyone stared at me.
'So who's this Demitri.' A woman blocked our path and my knees began to turn to jelly. This woman was terrifying. She stood at well over six foot with broad shoulders and strong muscular arms, built like a brick wall with a severe cropped hair cut. Nothing was getting past her.
'This is Cassandra. She's the one. Cassie, this is Abril.' Abril looked me up and down, making me even more uncomfortable than I already felt.
'Are you sure she's the chosen one? She looks a little skinny to me.' A small flicker of anger flared in my stomach but my survival instinct told me this woman could have me pinned to the floor before I had time to raise my fist.
'I can assure you she is Abril. Show her the necklace.' He sounded like he was ordering me and normally I wouldn't have given in so easily to him but in an unfamiliar place, surrounded by people I didn't know if I could trust I did as he said. Abril's eyes widened as she saw the pendant hanging around my neck.
'So it is true. We have our next warrior.' She turned and began to walk away, barking orders at us to follow her. Demitri didn't speak as we left the bar and went into a back room.
Abril took a seat behind a desk and motioned for us to take the two on the other side. 'I don't mean to sound rude,' I squeaked, 'but could someone tell me what's going on?'
