Чирпан е град в Централна България, област Стара Загора, и е разположен в сърцето на Тракия. Той е трети по големина в областта след Стара Загора и Казанлък. Градът е административен център на община Чирпан и има богати културни традиции. Чирпан е известен със своите ножове и като родното място на поета и революционер Пейо Яворов. Жителите на града се наричат чирпанци и чирпанлии.

География
Чирпан е разположен в южното подножие на Чирпански възвишения (651 m). Намира се на 39 km югозападно от Стара Загора и на около 50 km от Пловдив. Разполага с жп гара на линията София – Бургас. Край града минават АМ Тракия, с която има изградена удобна връзка и АМ Марица. Климатът в района е умерено-континентален със слабо изразено средиземноморско влияние.

История
Чирпан се смята за наследник на тракийско-римски античен и средновековен град наречен Карасура или Алексиополис, който се намира на 6 км от сегашното местоположение на града. Смята се, че Чирпан е основан от преселници от този град след разрушаването му.

Историческите документи дават основание да се смята, че градът е съществувал на сегашното си място от началото на 15 век.

Името на Чирпан се смята, че произлиза от римското име на селището и е свързано най-вече с извора Текир, около който се формира градът.

През Възраждането, периода 18 – 19 век, Чирпан се характеризира като град с добре развито земеделие и занаяти.

След Освобождението на България през 1878 г. гражданите на Чирпан са сред първите, които започват организирана борба за обединението на България и записват името на града в революционната летопис на Съединисткото движение. Днес на датата 6 септември (Деня на Съединението) се отбелязва празникът на града.

През следосвобожденския период занаятите западат заради загубата на пазари в Османската империя, но процъфтяват лозарството и винарската промишленост.

През 1928 година градът е силно засегнат от Чирпанското земетресение. В помощ на пострадалото население, при разчистването на руините, търсенето на оцелели, изграждането на палаткови лагери, продоволствието и храненето на оцелелите, са се включили активно скаути от съществуващата по това време "Организация на българските младежи разузнавачи" (ОБМР).

Земетресение с магнитуд 6,9 по Рихтер разтърсило Чирпанско. Точно на 14 април 1928 г. – Велика събота, малко преди обяд силен земен трус с център седем-осем километра северозападно от Чирпан разтърсва града и околните му села. Четири дни по-късно на 18 април вечерта друг силен трус с център близо до Пловдив довършва разрушенията, които първия трус започва.

Земетресението е толкова силно, че е отбелязано от сеизмичните станции в Северна Америка. Материалните щети от него са огромни. При двата труса са разрушени напълно 26 000 сгради, 21 000 са полуразрушени. Загинали са 128 души, а около 500 души са ранените. Разрушени са почти всички сгради в Чирпан и Борисовград (днешен гр. Първомай). Хиляди семейства остават без покрив, деформирани са жп линии, изменен е дебитът на кладенците и изворите – за известно време изчезва Меричлерският минерален извор.

В продължение на 11 дни земята се люлее през час с различна сила. Родният град на Яворов е сринат напълно. Пловдив е засегнат тежко. Оцелява само Старият град. Земетресението отнема живота на 114 души, ранените са 1000, разрушените сгради са 73 280 сгради. При първия трус малко преди обяд на 14 април скалата на Форел-Меркели отчита 10-а степен. Първо рухват покривите, после се разцепват стените. Пловдив, Чирпан и Първомай се евакуират в полето. Най-страшното обаче идва в последните часове на 18 април. Трусът от 11-а степен по Форел-Меркели е опустошителен за Пловдив и цялата област. Правителството на Андрей Ляпчев изпраща самолет до засегнатия район, защото телефонните връзки са прекъснати. Цар Борис III, който по същото време е във Варна, спешно пристига в Чирпан. После царят се премества в Пловдив и лично ръководи акцията за спасяване на населението.

След опустошителното земетресение от 1928 г. в Чирпан в красив парк са построени пет обширни болнични сгради. За чирпанската болница е получена щедра помощ от Полския Червен кръст. Болницата е учредена с Акт от 08.11.1928 г., подписан от Цар Борис ІІІ, членове на Българското Царско правителство и Правителството на Полска Република, както и от чирпански народни представители, Кмета на града и чирпанския болничен лекар д-р Христо Златаров. По онова време народният представител Крум Кораков прави критична бележка, че това е луксозна болница, изпреварила времето си. Така се създава възможност за разгръщане на болничната дейност в региона. От създаването на болницата и до днес в нея се лекуват жителите на две общини – Чирпанска и Братядаскаловска.

Икономика и инфраструктура
До 1989 г. са развити машиностроителната, текстилната и винарската промишленост. Машиностроителната промишленост е представена от завод "Бъдещност" – производство на хидравлични системи, завод "Ангел Пеев" – производство на машини за хранително-вкусовата промишленост.

Представител на текстилната промишленост е завод "23 септември" (ново име "Чарита") за производство на конфекция. Продукцията се реализира изключително в чужбина. Винпром Чирпан в миналото е най-големият производител на пенливо вино на Балканския полуостров под известна марка "Искра". Особено популярна е т.нар. червена "Искра". През 90-те години на 20 век Винпром Чирпан произвежда ракия "Чирпанска грапа".

В града е разположена първата птицеферма на групата "Градус".

След 1989 г. местната икономика запада поради суровинната ограниченост и структурни неуредици. Понастоящем добре се развива козметичната индустрия, чиито представител е фирмата "Евтерпа козметик".

От 2005 – 2006 в Общината започва да работи завод за консерви и замразени плодове и зеленчуци – АНКЪЛ СТАТИС, собственост на гръцки инвеститори. Заводът е закрит през 2011 г.

След 2000 година се развиват малките изби за производство на вино.

В последните години в полупланинското село Могилово се изгради Винарска изба Midalidare Estate със собствени масиви от лозя, която предлага и програми за винен туризъм. През септември 2014 отвори врати луксозен Спа хотел в село Могилово.

Култура и развлечения

Забележителности

Къща музей "Пейо Яворов"

Къщата музей "Пейо Яворов" се намира в централната част на град Чирпан. Обявена е за музей на 31 октомври 1954 г. по повод 40-годишнината от смъртта му, а в бр.72 на Държавен вестник от 1977 г. е обявена и за архитектурно-строителен паметник. Още преди официално да бъде обявена за музей, къщата е обект на посещения. През 1924 г. за 10-годишнината от смъртта на поета домът му е посетен от Гео Милев (друг голям български поет) и други творци. Заради това по-късно голямата сестра на Яворов отделила една от стаите на къщата за почитатели на поета. Поетът е считан за един от родоначалниците на символизма в българската лирика. Експозицията на музея в Чирпан представя оригиналната битова подредба на кухнята, гостната (наричана "средната стая") и т.нар."Пейова" стая. В гостната може да бъде видян портретът на Хаджи Димитър и Стефан Караджа (български революционери и радетели за освобождение от османско владичество), свидетелстващ за отношението на семейството към борбата за освобождение. Гостната е запазена във вида, в който семейство Яворови я е подредило, готвейки се да посрещне поета и съпругата му Лора през септември 1913 г. Средната стая била на майката на поета Гана Крачолова, където тя обичала да пее български народни песни. В Пейовата стая е запазена работната маса на поета, върху която е стояла любимата му книга – "Фауст"на Йохан Гьоте, и неговото легло с метални решетки. В тази стая Яворов е прекарал множество безсънни нощи, четейки стиховете на Ботев, Вазов, Пушкин, Лермонтов и Некрасов. На стената е окачен и портретът на Пушкин, който Яворов изрязва от руското сп. "Нива" и поставя в рамка. В двора на къщата музей е поставен бюст-паметник на поета. През 1973 г. към музея е открита експозиционна зала. В нея са показани снимки и вещи, представящи живота и творчеството на Яворов – от стария Чирпан, ученическите му години в Пловдив, работата на поета като телеграфист в различни градове из България, участието му в културния кръг "Мисъл". От 1968 г. в Чирпан се провеждат ежегодни Яворови януарски дни. Откриването им е на рождения ден на поета – 13 януари. Културното мероприятие е съпроводено с литературни четения, изложби, кръгли маси и др. В музея се организират и множество премиери на книги, конкурси и концерти. На 13 юли 2006 г. къщата музей "Пейо Яворов" е включена в списъка на Стоте национални туристически обекта.

Художествена галерия "Никола Манев"

Художествената галерия "Никола Манев" се намира в центъра на Чирпан. Зад изрисуваната фасада на дома, изграден преди век и половина от местен турски бей, се простира огромен двор, заобиколен от гъсти чемшири, а широката калдъръмена пътека води към съседната къща, където се е родил и отраснал Пейо Яворов. "Къщата на бея", както я наричат старите жители на града, e една от най-красивите стари възрожденски къщи в града. През месец април 2000 г. световноизвестният художник Никола Манев, който е роден в Чирпан я купува и превръща в галерия. За целта къщата е реставрирана и обзаведена с картини на автора. Приятелят на художника – българинът Илия Делев, който от дълги години живее в Бразилия и е един от основателите на музея "Земята и хората" в София, му е подарил десет уникални кристала от Южна Америка, които са изложени в залите на галерията. Периодично галерията организира прояви съвместно с Общинска художествена галерия. Основен приоритет на галерията е даване на допълнителен тласък на културния живот в града и стимулиране работата на местните творци. Най-младият културен форум "Празници на свободния дух", организиран от художествена галерия "Никола Манев" в началото на месец септември, печели все повече приятели и превръща Чирпан в европейска културна сцена. По покана на световноизвестния художник почитатели на изкуството от Стария континент се събират в двора на галерия "Никола Манев", превърнат в импровизирана сцена на открито, на която се изявяват именити българи, които творят по света и в България. Форумът завършва с присъждане на награди за литература, поезия и изобразително изкуство. От 2007 г. художествена галерия "Манев" в Чирпан е част от 100-те национални туристически обекта, като е включена под №71 заедно с родния дом на Пейо Яворов в града и с манастира "Свети Атанасий" край близкото село Златна ливада, смятан за най-стария манастир в Европа.

Палеонтологичен музей "Гема-Свят"

Частният палеонтологичен музей 'Гема-Свят" в Чирпан е открит на 04.09.2017 г. Той е плод на дългогодишните усилия на любителя-палеонтолог Петър Попдимитров (бивш кмет и почетен гражданин на Чирпан), който над 6 десетилетия събира останки от далечното минало на чирпанските земи. В музея са подредени над 5 хиляди експоната, впечатляващи със сензационните свидетелства за обитателите по нашите земи. На първия етаж на музея са палеонтологичните находки – черепи на антилопи и газели, носорози, жирафи, ленивци, хиени, мечки, хоботни животни и различни видове мастодонти – животни, живели край Чирпан преди милиони години. Най-впечатляващ от тях е добре запазеният и един от четирите в света череп на дейнотериум, На втория са разположени артефакти, датиращи отпреди 360 – 350 милиона години – има археология, неща от палеолита, неолит, бронзовата епоха, трако-римски находки и средновековие. В източния край са разположени и десетина платна на известни художници. На този етаж е експониран и световно значимият зъб на човешко същество от вида Грекопитек, живяло преди повече от 7 млн. години в района на Чирпан.

Исторически музей – Чирпан
Историческият музей в град Чирпан е създаден през 1998 година и е един от големите български музеи в страната. Той разполага с четири големи изложбени зали, няколко работни кабинета предназначени за научните отдели: Етнография, Археология и История. Историческия музей също така разполага с оборудване предназначено за реставриране, както и семинарна зала. Музеят е известен с научните и изследователски дейности, които развива на територията на град Чирпан и региона. В него няма постоянна експозиция. Подредени са експозиции от различни периоди и са с различна тематика. Основните колекции съхранени в Историческия музей в Чирпан включват: снимки, документи и вещи свързани с миналото на града и околностите. Музеят пази лични вещи и материали, свързани с известни дейци от възрожденския период, периода на борбите за съединение на българските земи, бита и културата по тези земи. Музеят е известен с изготвянето на различни късометражни филми свързани с историята на местното население и култура, както и с издаването на историко-културното списание "Наше Минало". Най-известният археологически обект на Исторически музей Чирпан е местността Карасура, намираща се на изток от града, в близост до южните склонове на Средна гора. Мястото е запечатало исторически свидетелства датиращи от четвъртото хилядолетие преди новата ера до късното средновековие през четиринадесети век. Проучванията на местността са започнали през 1981 година от български и чуждестранни изследователи. При изследванията са открити десет кули, три големи порти, жилищни и църковни постройки разположени в укрепена част, както и извън нея. Уникални са откритите каменни колони с надписи, култови паметници и скулптури от различни епохи, както и много монети и оръдия на труда. В музея също така са изложени богата колекция от накити и украшения както и над 250 различни възстановени керамични съдове. Интерес будят някои от съдовете с красиви форми и украси, датиращи от девети век. Изложените експозиции си заслужава да бъдат разгледани, заради уникалността и периодите, през които са били изработени. Много от изследователите твърдят, че откритията са достойни за световноизвестни музеи по цял свят.

Археологически обект Карасура край село Рупките
Археологически комплекс Карасура е разположен на 6 км североизточно от Чирпан, в южните склонове на Средна гора. Обхваща селищна могила Калето и околността, както и южно разположения хълм Кайряка. Археологическият обект Карасура се проучва от 1981 г. от български и немски изследователи. Съпоставянето на писмените извори и археологическите дадености локализират там римската крайпътна станция Карасура. Разкрити са три порти, десет кули, църковни и жилищни постройки, както в укрепената част, така и извън нея. През XI век селището се е разраснало и населението е обитавало район с площ от около 1000 дка. От епохата на Средновековието до съвременността са разкрити три църкви. Откритият при археологическите експедиции материал е много богат и включва архитектурни елементи, каменни колони с надписи, скулптурни и култови паметници от пред християнската епоха, оръдия на труда, монети. Богата е колекцията от средновековни накити. Намерена е керамика от различните епохи, от която са възстановени над 250 съда. Между тях се откроява колективната находка от около 30 съда с изящни форми и украси, датирана от XI в. Към момента обекта не приема посетители.

FAYETTEVILLE (KFSM) - According to U.S. News and World Report, four of the five top high schools in the state are located in Northwest Arkansas.
For the fourth year in a row, Haas Hall Academy in Fayetteville took home the #1 ranking. Superintendent Martin Schoppmeyer said the award is a testament to their hard work.
"I think it's a great accomplishment for Haas Hall when you consider we've been open 11 years and we started in a converted dairy barn back in 2004 and have gone quite a ways in a short amount of time," Schoppmeyer said.
He said they have a 100% college acceptance rating, and said when they keep getting awarded top in the state, that only helps the students more.
"It allows our scholars opportunities to go to various colleges and they have interest in recruiting our scholars because they are so highly ranked," Schoppmeyer said.
Also on the list is the Rogers School District, with two top-five schools. Rogers High School is ranked third, while Heritage High School is ranked fifth. Superintendent Janie Darr said she was overwhelmed to see two of her schools ranked so high.
"What it said to me is wherever your student attends high school in Rogers, he or she is going to get an excellent education and this just helps confirm that," Darr said.
She said the rankings are a big deal for the schools, which both have 2,000 students and a climbing minority population.
"It lets them know that what they have done, what they are doing is making a difference and it makes me very proud," Darr said.
According to the report, analysts based the rankings on four categories: student to teacher ratio, college readiness, mathematics and literacy.
Bentonville High school was #2 on the list. To see the complete list, click here.

Trip to dentist leaves man with a 90-MINUTE memory: Patient with bizarre form of amnesia is 'stuck in 2005' after a routine treatment
Details of the patient have been released by his clinical neuropsychologist
Known only as 'William', he suffered the memory loss after a root canal
He appears to be suffering from an unusual form of 'anterograde amnesia'
However, scans don't reveal any damage to the brain typically associated with this type of memory loss and doctors are baffled about the cause
By Victoria Woollaston for MailOnline
In a scene that sounds reminiscent of the film Groundhog Day, a British man has been left stuck in an endless loop of waking up and thinking he has a routine dental appointment.
Patient WO, known only as William, can remember everything in his life up until 13:40 on 14 March 2005 - the moment he was injected with anaesthetic before a root canal treatment.
Since that day the now 48-year-old can only store new memories for 90 minutes, but his brain shows no signs of damage, leaving neuropsychologists baffled as to what is causing the condition.
Patient WO, known only as William, can remember everything in his life up until 14 March 2005 - the moment he was injected with anaesthetic before root canal surgery. Since the surgery he only store new memories for 90 minutes, but his brain shows no signs of damage, leaving neuropscyhologists baffled as to what is causing it
His doctor, Gerald Burgess from the University of Leicester, has now published the patient's case study - and its similarities to four other cases - in an attempt to learn more about the unusual condition.
William's symptoms are similar to patients suffering from what's known as anterograde amnesia.

This is when damage to the bilateral hippocampal or diencephalon regions in the brain cause short spans of awareness as well as complete and rapid memory loss.
Typically it is brought on by a specific event or trauma and causes patients to loss the ability to create new memories after this event, while long-term memories from before the event are clear.
PATIENT WO'S DIAGNOSIS
William's symptoms are similar to patients suffering from as anterograde amnesia.
This is when damage to the bilateral hippocampal or diencephalon regions in the brain cause short spans of awareness and complete and rapid memory loss.
However, brain scans reveal no structural brain changes and there is seemingly no psychological explanation or event that is believed to have triggered the onset.
The medical treatment was also considered as a likely cause, as was the benefits that pretending to have amnesia could potentially give him.
Dr Burgess said: 'This does not appear to apply to WO either, as I have known him for 10 years, no slips that I have noticed and no benefit has come to him or his family.'
Without the presence of brain damage or changes, the experts believe the cause of amnesia in William, and the other cases profiled, could be a breakdown of protein synthesis in the brain.
When people experience an event, the memories are gradually 'consolidated' by the production of mRNA proteins in the brain.
This process rebuilds the brains synapses to account for the changes and new memories.
If this is blocked, the memory is easily lost or doesn't consolidate fully.
William can remember his childhood, relationships and his children, up to the year 2005, but can't remember what happened more than an hour and a half ago.
However, brain scans reveal no structural changes and there is seemingly no psychological explanation or event that is believed to have triggered the onset, explained Dr Burgess in the journal Neurocase.
'He wakes up believing he should still be in the military, stationed abroad,' Dr Burgess said.
'Every day he thinks it is the day of the dental appointment.'
'Each morning he is prompted by his wife to check his computer, on which the family has listed, and keep updated, key facts he should be aware of.
'Some events that have occurred since the onset of his condition in March 2005 continue to elicit genuine surprise or astonishment, continued Dr Burgess and his colleague consultant psychiatrist, Bhanu Chadalavadab from Northamptonshire Healthcare Foundation NHS Trust.
This includes marriages of family friends or that a family pet has died.
'WO manages his daily life and generally remains oriented throughout the day via the use of continuous access to an electronic diary and prompts,' continued Dr Burgess.
Furthermore, Dr Burgess told MailOnline that people with such 'organic amnesia' can learn a new skill and retain it, because the related brain structures are not involved in this kind of memory or learning.
'For William and the others, they learn the motor skills normally but do not retain it. They have to start all over again learning the motor skill or procedure by the next day at least.'
The only traumatic event that occurred close to the onset of amnesia was the death of William's grandfather during the same week.
In the film Groundhog Day, Bill Murray's character Phil Connors (pictured) is forced to relive the same day on repeat. This is reminiscent with UK-based Patient WO's case in which he wakes up each morning thinking he is in Germany in 2005 and has a dental appointment
This event was initially blamed as the cause of William's condition and he was initially diagnosed with dissociative amnesia.
But the researchers later ruled this out because he didn't share other traits associated with this form of amnesia, such as changes in personality and how he responds to stressful situations.
'Though WO was close to his grandfather, it was difficult to consider this event having caused WO sufficient distress to manifest in so profound an illness,' said Dr Burgess.
'Nor does this brand of amnesia match existing diagnostic criteria of psychogenic or functional amnesias that, for example, characteristically involves a period of acute stress.'
PATIENT WO'S 'GROUNDHOG DAY'
On 14 March, William attended a routine dental appointment for root canal treatment at 13:40 hours.
He was injected with the anaesthetic Citanest with Octapressin just prior to the beginning of treatment.
During the surgery he wore tinted dental glasses, obscuring a view to his level of responsiveness.
The procedure was completed at 14:30 hours, and at this time, Dr Burgess explained it became apparent William 'was pale and faint, and could not get himself up when re-positioned'.
Records and observations indicated he was 'vacant' and with 'slow speech.'
By 17:00 hours his condition had not improved, and he was taken by ambulance to emergency, in which he remained an inpatient for three days.
Whilst an inpatient, and for the following month, William could only remember memories in 10 minute bursts.
This improved to approximately 90 minutes, where it has remained.
Psychogenic amnesia is caused by acute psychological stress, and typically involves forgetting a person's own past, either selectively or completely.
'It's thought to be a psychological defence [but] WO does not fit this description', Dr Burgess continued.
'His amnesia is the sort that since onset, he can no longer make 'new' memories, but he remembers his own personal identity and history up to the point of the root canal procedure beginning.
'WO has no psychiatric history, no acute stress that would have been at the level that usually initiates a psychogenic amnesia.'
The medical treatment was also considered as a likely cause, and in three out of the five cases mentioned in the journal the patients experienced 'spinal column trauma'.
While four of the cases were triggered following a medical emergency of some kind.
Although William's medical treatment wasn't linked to his spine or central nervous system, his medical history did reveal he visited his GP weeks previously about an injury to his coccyx.
Dr Burgess added: 'Malingering, or pretending to be worse off [medically] usually has associated with it some secondary gain, often monetary, or getting services, or getting special attention.
'This does not appear to apply to WO either, as I have known him for 10 years and [there have been] no slips that I have noticed.
'In fact I've seen things that could not have been acting in my opinion, unless he's a genius - and no benefit has come to him or his family, only hardship.
'He was in good-standing in the military, as a husband and father - no reason to think he had something to avoid. He and his wife are still married.'
Experts believe the cause of amnesia in William, and other similar cases profiled, could be a breakdown of protein synthesis in the brain. Memories are 'consolidated' by the production of mRNA proteins in the brain that rebuild synpases (stock image). If this is blocked the memory is easily lost or doesn't consolidate fully
This process rebuilds the brains synapses to account for the changes and accommodate the new memories.
If this is blocked, as has been shown in test involving rats, the memory is easily lost or doesn't consolidate fully.
The researchers are unsure what causes this process to breakdown and plan to investigate whether this so-called metabolic failure is genetic or acquired.
They will also study whether chemical treatments could help the patients regain this function.
'Patient WO does not fit any current description,' said Dr Burgess.
'Overall, this brand of amnesia needs another diagnostic or classification category than any currently existing, as between the cases presented in the article, a small but critical mass of distinctive qualities compose them, and the mechanism appears different to other types of amnesia.'

Trerice, Newquay, Cornwall - April 192
Trerice is an Elizabethan manor house located near Quintrell Downs inland from Newquay. Trerice estate was inherited by the Arundell family through marriage around 700 years ago. By 1572 John Arundell V had begun building the current house. Ten years earlier his income had been boosted by marrying well. Sir John Arundell VI supported King Charles I against Parliament during the Civil War organising the defence of Pendennis Castle, Falmouth. In recognition of the Arundell family's support for the king following the restoration of the monarchy King Charles II created Richard Arundell – Baron Arondell. In 1768 Trerice passed to the Acland family Sir Thomas Dyke Acland never lived at Trerice but often stayed on his political forays into Cornwall. He also used the Great Hall for entertaining. The Aclands sold the estate to Cornwall County Council in 1915. The council split the estate up either selling or letting the land except for 20 acres surrounding the house. In 1953 the National Trust bought the property.


Gone to Anchorage for the day. I promise you a profound, witty, interesting, and life changing post upon my return.
Enjoy your Saturday, I know I will, since I woke up and the headache was mostly gone. Woohoo!
In the mean time, watch this. The best dammed guitar player the human race has ever known. On the other hand, I have no idea what the video is all about, it's British - nobody gets it.
The best dammed guitar player the human race has ever known.
I beg to differ. I give you John Petrucci, Joe Statriani, Eric Johnson, Steve Vai, and Michael Hedges. Not to mention Stevie Ray.
Gifted, yes. Teh best damned guitar player the human race has ever known? Not so much.
Jeez, check out my typo's. Sorry about that!
Have fun. The thought of "heading to Anchorage" for a day is a bit funny for me. It might as well be, "off to Olympus Mons" for a day. Which, apart from quick death from the elements, would be pretty awesome.
And with that note, I should quit dreaming about sci-fi, and get back to my article, which is due Friday... Procrastination FTW!
Yeah, Janiece, especially the part where you typed "John Petrucci, Joe Statriani, Eric Johnson, Steve Vai, and Michael Hedges. Not to mention Stevie Ray" where what you actually meant was "Mark Knopfler." It could happen to anybody, the keys are really close together. Don't worry, I know what you meant.
Shawn, well it was in the fifties today, so not much chance of dying from exposure - you could have drowned today though, it has been pouring since last night. It's the rainy season, it'll rain until it snows, which ought to be fairly soon. And I always visualized the Olympus Mons from Kim Stanley Ronbinson's Blue Mars to look a lot like the Chugach here in Alaska. On the drive in today it was shrouded in rain and fog, very mysterious, makes me look for dragons circling the heights.
I haven't read the Mars series. It's on my bookshelf, but I haven't sunk my teeth in yet.
Winter is coming here too (not quite as soon), so hopefully I'll get to put in some serious reading time this snowy season.
I've read Red, Green, and Blue Mars - haven't read the other related stuff he did. I enjoyed Red and Green, but Blue I just kept losing interest in. Had to force myself to finish it.
Winter is my reading time too.
Seriously, though, there's something about Knopfler's music that I can't get enough of. I saw him play once, when he fronted Dire Straits, and the guitar-riff at the end of Sultans of Swing was utterly incredible. Knopfler's hands moved so fast that you could barely see his fingers, he was hitting notes that were as pure and clear as ruby laser light, and all the while he just stood there with this little smile on his face - like it was nothing.
But your guys are good too.
It's always a pleasure to watch a virtuoso at work - whether you enjoy their style of music, or not.
I would highly recommend a CD called "An Evening with John Petrucci and Jordan Rudess." It's a live set they did in NYC for charity, and bears little to no resemblance to their Dream Theater sound. Pure musical genius, both acoustic and electric.
Well, if you vet comments from 10 years into the future, I recommend you check out the late Rory Gallagher if you don't know his stuff. I won't get into debates about the "best" this or that, but I think you might find his virtuosity enjoyable.

Sometimes building terms can be straightforward, and the term rooflight (sometimes referred to as a skylight or a roof window) is a good example.
A rooflight is an opening in a roof designed to let light in.
huge glazed openings sometimes costing as much as a small house.
They are usually manufactured by specialists who rarely produce conventional vertical windows.
In contrast, planners take a more relaxed view of loft living when the existing roof shape doesn't change.
The Danish company Velux popularised the pitched roof window in the 1970s and 1980s. Critically, it was possible for a carpenter to fit a Velux in a day, from the inside of the roof, thus reducing the need for scaffolding and tarpaulins.
The success of Velux played a big part in the popularity of loft conversions. There are now several other businesses offering similar products, but Velux remains the best-known brand.
There is a wide choice of blinds and awnings, and the rooflights themselves can now be opened manually or automatically, powered either by the mains or solar cells. There is also a range of glazing options to choose from, including triple glazing for energy efficiency.
At the basic end, a polycarbonate rooflight costs as little as £250. It can be double or triple skin and configured to open for venting.
Switching to glass roughly doubles the price but adds to the longevity. Velux carries a range of modular rooflights that can be installed in series to give a glass-roof effect.
For locations where a conventional rooflight isn't suitable, the sun tunnel is an effective alternative.
Some specialists supply bespoke glazing solutions for roofs, often combining vertical, horizontal and sloped glazing. Bespoke glazing solutions start at around £10,000 and have almost no upper limit.
Glazing can be made strong enough to walk on.
Glazing can be made retractable so that you can open up the room below to the elements.
It can be configured as lanterns or even stairwells for use where the roof becomes a terrace.
Glass is being used as both a walling and roofing element, and bespoke glazing solutions are beginning to move away from the basic rooflight concept. Yet their attraction is much the same: bringing light into dark places.
Modern double or triple glazing is so effective that people are more concerned about summer overheating from rooflights than overall energy efficiency. Summer sunshine can sometimes cause spaces behind the glass to become uncomfortably hot. This is a possibility if the rooflights face south and the room they light is relatively small.
Specifying solar reflective glass, or glass with a low g factor, such as Velux's Glazing 60, which keeps the solar radiation levels down to as little as 30%. This helps but does dull the quality of the light.
Using physical shading, either using removable awnings or fixed panels (brise soleil). These keep off the high summer midday sun but not the lower-angle sunlight enjoyed in the evenings and in winter.
If none of these options are possible, the best approach is to limit the ratio of rooflights to floor area to around 10%. This should provide plenty of light to the room without too much discomfort during heat waves.
Many rooflight solutions come with built-in ventilation, and this can also be deployed to even out temperature differences between inside and out.
Metal suits period properties, barn conversions and contemporary houses. Steel (often required for barns and homes in conservation areas) or aluminium are the most common options.
Timber is popular, but getting onto the roof to maintain the timber can be tricky. Consider timber-aluminium composites, which offer the look of wood inside but are lower maintenance outside.
PVCu is a low-maintenance option, but it will not provide the slim frames that metal is capable of or the natural look of wood.
Whatever the material, rooflights must be fitted to allow water to drain away. Weather-resistant flashings can be visually obtrusive but are essential to avoid leaks. Ensure they complement your roof as closely as possible.
Strict planning laws often prevent the insertion of new openings in cases such as barn conversions.
Paul Trace, managing director of Tuscan Foundry Products, adds: "In this situation a conservation rooflight would be required as they are especially designed with a low profile. This means the rooflight will sit flush and not detract from the character of the building.
Steel conservation rooflights are designed to replicate Victorian models that were originally designed for agricultural buildings. They also have a glazing bar. As well as many barn conversions, they are a requirement in a lot of houses that are listed or in conservation areas.
Extensive 'glass roofs' may be subject to more stringent control. Slight relaxation may be granted where the aesthetics of a rooflight are the main concern, such as on listed homes.
If your rooflights will be difficult to access, then selfcleaning glass is a good idea. The surface reacts with sunlight to break down dirt, loosening its adhesion, In turn this allows dirt to be more readily washed away by rain.
For flat rooflights installed with a shallow fall, water droplets can be eliminated by use of a coating product such as Ritec's ClearShield.
All glass used should be toughened (to prevent it from shattering if broken).If the roof is particularly high above floor level (5m+), then glass should also be heat soaked to strengthen it further.
Can you get a skylight that does not let light out as I have a planning application currently in AONB for conversion of Grade2 listed agricultural barn to residential unit . The officers are concerned the light given from skylights will have an impact on the area so wondered if the was a skylight on the market that could get over this issue .
I haven't come across any, but I would imagine you can get ones with tints.
Otherwise, as I am guessing it is only at night that they are going to have the issue (light pollution I presume), then could you agree to use of blackout blinds perhaps? It would be hard for them to be sure you would always use them, but it would at least put something in place.

Elephant Crushes Man to Death in India After Mob Attacks It with Rocks and Firecrackers

Tech & Science India Elephants Animal behavior
A man in India was crushed to death by an elephant after he took part in a group attempt to scare the animal away. The elephant acted in defense after villagers threw rocks and firecrackers at it.
The incident took place on February 24 in the village of Belkonglu on the Andhra Pradesh-Karnataka border near Kolar district, The Hindu reported. The victim, identified as Krishnapp, 56, was part of a mob that was attempting to drive a herd of elephants away from a lake near their village. A single elephant strayed from the herd and charged at the mob in defense. The victim fell down while attempting to flee from the enraged elephant and was trampled to death.

According to The Hindu (the only outlet to report the incident), the area where the death occurred is traditionally not known to have elephant herds. However, deforestation and human development continues to destroy their habitats. As a result, the animals are forced to move, which often means they must live closer to humans. An estimated 20 percent of the world's human population now lives in or near the present range of the Asian elephant, The World Wildlife Foundation reported.
The death reported here isn't the first resulting from this clash. Incidents of elephants raiding human villages and farms are increasing as are human attacks on elephants by villagers attempting to protect their property and crops.

In an attempt to prevent human attacks on the endangered Asian elephant, some countries provide government compensation if an elephant attacks property. However, these elephants are also at danger of hunting and capture, either for the illegal ivory trade or for the tourism industry.

Bad copywriting resembles that Christmas fruitcake you receive every year from Aunt Lou: It just sits there on your website, doing nothing but taking up space and scaring people with its mediocrity. When SMBs hire a copywriter to create compelling content, they expect to receive content that seizes the attention of Internet-jaded consumers without mercy, a verbal advertisement as vivid and riveting as a fireworks display. Who wants Aunt Lou's fruitcake when you can have a Reese's peanut butter cup instead?
If It Sounds Like Fruitcake Tastes—Throw It Away!
1. Copywriting that reads like a high school English teacher's worst nightmare—punctuation and spelling errors, the use of obscure words that no one but Einstein has ever heard of (indicative of the dreaded "thesaurus syndrome") and an overkill of passive verbs.
2. Copywriting littered with adverbs signifies it was written by a lazy writer who did not want to take the time to reword sentences using active verbs.

Typhoon Soudelor is forecast to make landfall on the central east coast of Taiwan late Friday or early Saturday local time. Hazards include excessive rainfall and inland flooding, together with significant winds and storm surge. A second landfall in Mainland China is expected to bring heavy rain and wind over a widespread area.
Typhoon Soudelor carries winds of 110 mph (175 kilometers per hour), as of the 21 UTC advisory of the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC). Soudelor is now equivalent to a high-end Category 2 on the Saffir-Simpson Scale, and has slowly intensified in the last 12 hours. Soudelor carries a central pressure of 945 millibars according to the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA).
Hazard data in the CAT-i map above was generated from the JTWC position report and forecast. The right panel outlines the forecast track. The left panel highlights areas potentially affected by storm-force or higher winds based on the JTWC forecast track. Tropical cyclone track and intensity can change under a very short timeframe. One should closely monitor official weather and emergency management advisories for updates for their area of interest.
Both the JTWC and JMA forecast Soudelor to continue on a west-northwesterly track, following the base of the subtropical ridge. This track will carry Soudelor to landfall at the Central East coast of Taiwan. The typhoon will then move into the Taiwan Strait before a second landfall on Mainland China, possibly near Quanzhou, before recurving to the north over the mainland. Model guidance is in close agreement on the track scenario.
Concerning intensity, Soudelor should encounter low wind shear, well-enabled outflow, and warm waters. These conditions should allow Soudelor to re-intensify prior to interaction with Taiwan. Prior to Taiwan landfall, JTWC forecast intensity for 18 UTC August 7 is 120 mph (195 kilometers per hour), equivalent to a Category 3 on the Saffir-Simpson Scale. As Soudelor crosses Taiwan, land interaction and terrain will cause Soudelor to weaken. After Soudelor emerges into the Taiwan Strait, for 06 UTC August 8, JTWC forecast winds are 90 mph (150 kilometers per hour), a Category 1 on the Saffir-Simpson Scale. Soudelor will then weaken considerably after final landfall on Mainland China.
Hazards affecting Taiwan include wind, rain and surge. Moderate to severe wind damage can be expected immediately adjacent and to the right of the eyewall. Light to moderate damage can be expected over a more widespread area together with downed trees and power lines, with more severe effects in higher terrain. Excessive rainfall will be amplified by the topography of Taiwan, leading to a threat for inland flooding and perhaps mudslides. Rainfall amounts exceeding 300 millimeters are probable, with locally higher amounts. Rainfall amounts will depend very closely on the exact track and intensity of Soudelor as it affects the islands. Storm surge can also be expected, with most severe impacts to the right of the landfall position.
As Soudelor moves into Mainland China, light wind impacts can be expected over a widespread area, with more severe impacts immediately adjacent and to the right of the center of circulation. Heavy rainfall can also be expected over a widespread area, leading to inland flooding concerns. Soudelor should increase in forward speed prior to landfall on Mainland China, reducing the period of exposure to heavy rain.
Official Meteorological agencies have issued warnings for areas under threat.
Reports indicate that the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands has been declared a federal disaster area after Typhoon Soudelor made landfall in Saipan on Monday. Reports indicate that the Acting Governor of the Commonwealth has estimated economic damages in Saipan and Tinian will exceed USD20 million.

ENT doctors join Gesy opt-outs
By Elias Hazou December 27, 2018 December 27, 2018 0386
EAR, nose and throat (ENT) doctors of the private sector said on Thursday they do not intend to join the national health scheme, joining the ranks of several other private practices who have decided to opt out.
In a statement, the Cyprus Society of Otorhinolaryngology called on its members not to register with the national health scheme (Gesy) noting that, as it stands, the scheme "is not viable and will result in the downgrading of healthcare services provided to patients."
The society said that a number of issues regarding the operation of Gesy remain vague, and that the demands they recently laid out for participation were not being met.
Private-practice doctors will be called to enter into contracts with the organisation implementing Gesy.
But primarily due to concerns over remuneration, to date a number of professional groups have either voiced reservations about participating or outright said they will not.
Private doctors fear the financial package they are being offered to participate in Gesy is not enough of an incentive.
Last week endocrinologists announced they would not be joining the scheme, citing a deficient budget that would lead to low-quality health services.
Cardiologists, despite not being fully on board, said each would decide for themselves.
Earlier, paediatricians and gastroenterologists likewise said they would not be joining.
The 'desertions' have angered government officials, who hit back accusing interest groups of seeking to sabotage efforts at introducing a universal healthcare system and of blackmailing the government.
However the health minister has put on a brave face, saying he is optimistic that the required number of private doctors would agree to join Gesy.
An official said on Thursday that doctors' registrations would be held in two phases. Those physicians registering with Gesy during the first phase would be offered more incentives than those holding out.
Under the government roadmap, contributions for Gesy will begin as of March 2019.
The first phase of the scheme is to be rolled out on June 1 of the same year. This concerns outpatient care provided by personal physicians, specialists, pharmacies and labs.
Gesy will come into full swing as of June 1, 2020 with inpatient care.

Gujarat's COVID toll inches towards 1,500, cases now 23,590
Published on : 14 Jun, 2020 , 6:34 pm
Gandhinagar, June 14, 2020
Gujarat today recorded 29 more deaths due to coronavirus (COVID-19), taking the toll to 1,478, while the total number of cases in the state rose by 511 to 23,590.
Ahmedabad accounted for 22 of the 29 deaths, while four were reported from Surat, and one each from Amreli, Mahesana and Panchmahals.
Gujarat has a mortality rate of 6.26 per cent in COVID cases.
Meanwhile, 442 patients were discharged from hospitals across the state on Sunday.
On Sunday, the health authorities carried out 4,942 RT-PCR tests from which 511 fresh cases were detected across the state.
Although the number of positive cases being detected from 'hotspot' Ahmedabad is gradually coming down from around 80 per cent to nowadays under 70 per cent, the total number of cases detected everyday across the state seems to be soaring, with the 500 figure becoming common. More and more positive cases are being detected in Surat, and Gandhinagar as well as areas like Banaskantha, Sabarkantha, Aravalli and even Surendranagar.
Out of the the new cases on Sunday, 334 cases were detected in Ahmedabad, followed by 76 in Surat, 42 in Vadodara, nine in Surendranagar, eight in Gandhinagar, six each in Aravalli and Bharuch, three in Bhavnagar, Mahisagar, Anand and Amreli, two each in Mahesana, Sabarkantha, Patan and Kheda, and one each in Banaskantha, Rajkot, Panchmahals, Botad, and Narmada as well as a patient from another state.
Despite the share of coronavirus-positive cases from Ahmedabad having come down to 70.53 per cent, its death toll rate remained the same, at around 81 per cent (80.51 per cent exactly).
As many as 437 people, out of the total 1,478, have succumbed to the virus during the fourteen days of June.
Till date, out of the total deaths, 1,190 have died in Ahmedabad alone, followed by 100 in Surat, 45 in Vadodara, 21 in Gandhinagar, 14 in Panchmahals, 13 each in Bhavnagar and Aravalli, 12 in Anand, 10 in Patan, nine in Mahesana and eight in Banaskantha.
With Sunday's 442, a total of 16,333 patients have been cured and discharged in the state.
Of the state's total cases, Ahmedabad continues to lead with 16,640, followed by Surat with 2,579, Vadodara with 1,558, Gandhinagar with 467, Mahesana with 185, Bhavnagar with 169, Banaskantha with 151, Rajkot with 149, Aravalli with 144, Sabarkantha with 137, Anand with 128, Mahisagar with 120, Panchmahals with with 119, Patan with 114, Kheda with 105, Kutch with 103, Bharuch with 84, Surendranagar with 75, Jamnagar with 73, Botad with 66, Valsad with 57 and Gir-Somnath with 50 cases.
A total of 2,88,565 RT-PCR tests have been carried out in the state.
There are 5,779 active cases, out of which the condition of 5,713 is stable, whereas 66 critical patients are still on ventilator.
There are 2,14,885 people quarantined in the state, where 2,08,666 are home quarantined and 6,219 in government facilities.

Q: Postgres Datetime Replace regex I've gotten as far as possible alone.
I need to replace the time within a datetime stamp in postgres.
This:
2015-11-20 08:00:00
Needs to be this:
2015-11-20 09:00:00
but for every day of the year (only the time changes)
this is what I have so far. (am i even close?)
UPDATE
   events
SET
   starttime = regexp_replace(starttime,
   E'[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{1,2}-[0-9]{1,2} [0-0]{1}[8-8]{1}:[0-0]{1,2}:[0-0]{1,2}',
   E'[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{1,2}-[0-9]{1,2} [0-0]{1}[9-9]{1}:[0-0]{1,2}:[0-0]{1,2}','g')
WHERE
   account_id = 9
   AND starttime ~ E'[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{1,2}-[0-9]{1,2} [0-0]{1}[8-8]{1}:[0-0]{1,2}:[0-0]{1,2}';

A: The documentation is very helpful for this topic.
Typing add 1 hour timestamp into the search box at:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/interactive/index.html
yields the following page as the first hit:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/functions-datetime.html
So you can do something like
timestamp '2001-09-28 01:00' + interval '1 hour'

Also if your source is a column (namely mydatecolumn) , this could become:
mydatecolumn::timestamp + interval '1 hour'

A: I am hoping that your starttime column is of timestamp or timestamp with time zone but in the event that I suspect it isn't it may need casting.
UPDATE events SET
    starttime = starttime::timestamp + '1 hour'::interval
WHERE account_id = 9 AND extract(hour from starttime::timestamp) = 8;

As with Remi's answer, you should refer to the manual for more information on date time functions.

A: I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to do, but if the only thing, you're trying to do is to add one hour to starttime timestamp, do not use regexp for date/time manipulations. Just don't.
Adding one hour
Regexps are for manipulating text data, but timestamp is a TIMESTAMP - it has it's internal structure which is more complex and allows precise manipulation, while it's text representation is only a "printed out" version of the original data. Again - TIMESTAMP is postgresql datatype, so manipulate it directly, not via its "printed out" text form using regexp.
To be more specific, you should do something like this:
UPDATE
   events
SET
   starttime = starttime + interval '1 hour'
WHERE
   account_id = 9

But if I didn't get it and you want to change only 08:00 times (as would your ill-formed update statement suggest), you can use EXTRACT(field FROM source):
UPDATE
   events
SET
   starttime = starttime + interval '1 hour'
WHERE
   account_id = 9 AND EXTRACT(hour FROM starttime) = 8

(And similary for minutes or seconds, etc.)
Invalid regexp
Even if using regexps to manipulate TIMEDATE is not very wise, your regexp expression is wrong in several ways:

*

*you have 2 regexps in regexp_replace call, which has form of regexp_replace(string, regexp, replacement). But you used regexp string even for replacement, which does this:
select regexp_replace('2015-11-20 08:00:00',
    E'[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{1,2}-[0-9]{1,2} [0-0]{1}[8-8]{1}:[0-0]{1,2}:[0-0]{1,2}',
    E'[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{1,2}-[0-9]{1,2} [0-0]{1}[9-9]{1}:[0-0]{1,2}:[0-0]{1,2}', 'g');
                            regexp_replace
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
 [0-9]{4}-[0-9]{1,2}-[0-9]{1,2} [0-0]{1}[9-9]{1}:[0-0]{1,2}:[0-0]{1,2}

So you can see that you just replaced everything with the replacement string. Bettew replacement string would have references to groups matched by a regexp, which brings us to second problem:

*your regexp expression does not have groups in parenthesis. If I correct that and add references to these groups in replacement string, you'll get:
select regexp_replace('2015-11-20 08:00:00',
    E'([0-9]{4})-([0-9]{1,2})-([0-9]{1,2}) ([0-0]{1})([8-8]{1}):([0-0]{1,2}):([0-0]{1,2})',
    E'\\1-\\2-\\3 \\4\\5:\\6:\\7', 'g');
   regexp_replace
---------------------
 2015-11-20 08:00:00

which looks almost good. But since you want to replace the 08:00, let's change it to:
select regexp_replace('2015-11-20 08:00:00',
    E'([0-9]{4})-([0-9]{1,2})-([0-9]{1,2}) ([0-0]{1})([8-8]{1}):([0-0]{1,2}):([0-0]{1,2})',
    E'\\1-\\2-\\3 09:00:00', 'g');
   regexp_replace
---------------------
 2015-11-20 09:00:00

*this is not exactly a problem, but using [0-0]{1} to match a zero (or other single character) is unnecessary, plain 0 would suffice, so I just added the 08:00:00 string exactly. (You can change it to [01][0-9]:00:00 to match every hour, or [0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2} to match any time)
select regexp_replace('2015-11-20 08:00:00',
    E'([0-9]{4})-([0-9]{1,2})-([0-9]{1,2}) 08:00:00',
    E'\\1-\\2-\\3 09:00:00', 'g');

CHILD CUSTODY: DOES MY CHILD NEED A LAWYER?
On behalf of Cummings Law Firm posted in Family Law Waterbury on Sunday, May 22, 2016.
Divorce proceedings can be smooth, civil processes. But they can also be messy, complex, and aggravating at times. This is especially true if children are involved. Couples who have decided to part ways may be able to agree amicably on several issues until the decision over child custody arises. If couples can't decide on who maintains custody of their children, then who does?
On behalf of Cummings Law Firm posted in Divorce Lawyers Waterbury on Tuesday, April 19, 2016.
It is an unfortunate truth that justice is often corrupted by normative ideas and gender stereotypes. From Connecticut to California, people form judgments and opinions about the types of crimes certain individuals are capable of and which types of justice they deserve. If a person does not fit within those preconceived standards, then finding help or receiving justice for crimes against him/her can be a difficult and overwhelming process. A prime example of this is domestic violence cases brought forward by male victims. Awareness of domestic violence against men is not a primary directive in most campaigns, and many males will not seek police action, let alone a divorce attorney for various reasons. And so, they suffer alone.
On behalf of Cummings Law Firm posted in Divorce Lawyers Waterbury on Friday, April 15, 2016.
Think of the phrase "domestic violence." Which particular images come to mind? Odds are, the horrific and terrifying images we have all seen in movies and television are some of the first that spring to the forefront. While these terrible events do happen in real life, there are also other not so conspicuous ways in which abusers can harm their victims. The National Network to End Domestic Violence defines domestic violence as "a pattern of coercive, controlling behavior" that can include "physical abuse, emotional or psychological abuse, sexual abuse, or financial abuse." Domestic violence is a tragic situation no matter how you look at it; it can leave victims feeling hopeless and afraid, and leads couples down terrible paths that can include trauma, psychological damage, medical fees, and divorce lawyer fees.

When most people hear the words "domestic violence" they imagine the terrifying incidents they see on television. While these events do occur all too frequently, domestic violence and abuse aren't limited to the realm of the physical. As patterns of coercive and controlling behavior, domestic abuse can also include emotional and psychological abuse, sexual abuse, and even financial abuse; in any of these cases, the victims are left feeling confused, frightened, and possibly uncertain about their own ability to survive. If children are also involved, they too must endure all of the traumatizing effects and all of the same fears. Domestic violence is also not limited to people of certain circumstances, it can affect individuals of any age, race, ethnicity, gender, economic status, education, religion, or sexual orientation.


I was working on Sitecore workflow task. Certainly one of the newly client-side reviewer started complaining that he is unable to see items in his workbox?
I started investigation on this but unable to find any clue that why items are not visible to that particular reviewer?
For the time being I provided him admin rights and try to login from his account. Now he is able to view items in workflow approval section.
But reviewer can't become admin. So where was the actual problem?
If you are unable to see any item in workbox, but at the same time admin can view the items in workbox it means you don't have permissions on items.
Assign read/write permissions from Access Viewer -> Assign Security Rights to that user/reviewer on all required items.
If any user can't take any action on content tree items then Sitecore not shows any of those items in workbox as well.
Hope this pointer will help somebody who is in similar situation.

What is critical illness insurance?
Critical Illness insurance, also referred to as Critical Care insurance or Critical Illness coverage, provides a lump-sum cash benefit to help cover expenses associated with a qualifying serious illness.
Critical Illness can strike at any time. We've all heard stories of friends or family members who have been affected by a serious illness. What we don't hear is how the financial strain may also have a major impact during this trying time.
A primary health insurance plan may cover some health care costs, but oftentimes the patient will face other challenges such as paying everyday living expenses while out of work. That's when a Critical Illness plan can come into play.
