Val Kilmer isn't difficult to work with on set — he's simply not enough of a schmoozer, so says the "Batman Forever" star.
The 57-year-old defended his long-standing reputation as "difficult" Wednesday, and chalked up the decades-old talk to the fact that he was so invested in his acting, he didn't bother kissing up to studio executives and financiers.
"I didn't do enough hand holding and flattering and reassuring the financiers. I only cared about the acting, and that didn't translate to caring about the film or all that money," Kilmer explained in a Reddit AMA after a fan asked him his side of the story. "I like to take risks and this often gave the impression I was willing to risk their money not being returned, which was foolish of me. I understand that now."
Directors from multiple films Kilmer worked on in the '90s, like Joel Schumacher and Richard Stanley, fueled the fire over the years by speaking out against their star, pegging him as "childish" and arrogant.
Now, Kilmer says he understands where they were coming from.
"Sometimes when you are the head of a project and the lead actor is usually the reason a film is being made, unless it's a superstar director, then it's only fair to make people feel good and happy (while) they are at work," he wrote. "I was often unhappy trying to make pictures better."
The "Top Gun" star frequently takes fan questions on Reddit, and answered a similar query on the site during a Q&A session three months ago.
During that go-round, he again blamed the reputation on his failure to communicate with the press, studio executives and casting agents, and also explained that he failed to cultivate a persona to help the press categorize him.
"I didn't develop a personal like all my contemporaries. When you think of Sean Penn or Tom Hanks or Johnny Depp, you immediately think of the same character and image I do," he wrote. "These are characters they have created. It's fun and it's a way to secure your part of the sandbox ... Now that I'm older, I do wish I had spent a bit more time here defending myself, only because it cost me some really fun roles, and a mountain of money I assumed would always be there."
The most notable rift for Kilmer was between him and his "Batman Forever" director Schumacher.
Schumacher recently told The Hollywood Reporter that their film's success went to Kilmer's head. In 1996, he told Entertainment Weekly that the actor was "childish and impossible."
In the same article, Kilmer's "The Island of Dr. Moreau" director Stanley claimed that Kilmer arrived to set every day looking for a fight.
John Frankenheimer, the director who replaced Stanley on the film, is also quoted as saying, "I don't like Val Kilmer, I don't like his work ethic, and I don't want to be associated with him ever again."

Geneva, 17 January 2018 – The world is ill-equipped and unprepared for the next killer pandemic or epidemic.
Massive economic inequality, combined with chronic under-investment in public health systems and capacity and a lack of capacity to respond at the local or community level, means that too many countries will be unable to respond to the next deadly disease outbreak.
"Weak health systems anywhere should worry us all. Diseases know no borders. None of us are safe until all of us are safe," says Elhadj As Sy, Secretary General of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC).
Mr Sy is available for media interviews during the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, between 23-26 January. He is calling for scaled up investment in community health systems, so that the people who first see a new disease can more effectively ring the global alarm, as well as manage and then monitor the response.
In light of declining aid funding, Mr Sy is also leading calls for new types of investment in humanitarian action, including better linkages between aid organizations and Islamic Social Financing. His vision sees new sources of innovative financing to strengthen local organizations on the ground to be fast, impactful and cost-effective responders to health crises.

During the Xbox E3 press conference Scavengers Studio revealed their newest title, The Darwin Project. An arena based competitive multiplayer third-person battle royal experience with an emphasis on survival. Players must be able to survive environmental conditions, track their opponents, craft tools, set traps and make allies to survive.
The Darwin Project takes place in a post-apocalyptic landscape in the Northern Canadian Rockies. As civilization prepares for an impending ice age, a twisted new project emerges, half science experiment and half live-entertainment. It's called The Darwin Project and it challenges participants to survive the cold and fight to the death in a treacherous, snow-covered arena.
The game features a "Director Mode" which allows you to have an overview of the battlefield and observe the combatants below battling it out. This shows promise, and a possible avenue into a competitive player base, as the press conference had an actual live play by play announcer doing commentary of the game that was taking place below. It allows you to see equipment, health and positions of every player on the map, and lets you flip between them.
The Darwin Project is currently in closed pre-alpha and slated for launch on Xbox One, quite possibly the Xbox One X and PC in spring 2018. In case you missed it, Microsoft announced the Xbox One X at this years press conference, along with 42 games that will be coming soon.

Norwich aiming to put narrow defeat behind them at Beeston Hyrne
PUBLISHED: 16:29 27 September 2018 | UPDATED: 16:29 27 September 2018
After another frustrating result last week, losing to Ipswich by one point, Norwich host newly-promoted Stowmarket, who beat Ipswich two weeks ago.
With an injury to Phil Buckley, Paul Micklethwaite moves to hooker and is replaced in the back row by Jonty Newton, who had an excellent game for the Lions last week.
Newton is from Devon and played rugby at Southampton University before getting a job in Norfolk two weeks ago. He has been very impressive in training and playing for the second string.
The prolonged unavailability of Mike Lawton means Patryk Golebiowski, a product of the Norwich youth system, gets his first start in the senior side at the age of 17.
Looking back to the frustrating 36-35 defeat at Ipswich, Director of Rugby David Everitt said: "It was another indifferent day for this Jekyll and Hyde squad – at times they were patient and efficient in attack but then let themselves down with poor tackling and game management. In the two defeats we have suffered so far, the games have gone to the last play of the match before the result went against us. We have not been able to put the games away and out of reach of our opponents when we have clearly had the upper hand.
"The coaches have done their part in providing the players with the tools to achieve their objectives but it is up to the players to put this into practice. Given that Stowmarket beat Ipswich the previous week we can expect another stern test of our abilities. The players and coaches have worked hard this week in trying to prevent another performance that is good in some areas and not others."
The Lions host Norwich Union and the A XV are at Watton.
Southwold, who lost for the first time in London Two North East last week when they were edged out 26-25 by visitors Woodford, travel to South Woodham Ferrers.
Lakenham Hewett Ladies lost 25-0 at Southwold in their first away game of the season. The visitors were unable to get on the scoresheet despite a brave display and some good carries from Charlotte Richardson, Lauren Mann and Chantelle Richardson.

Australian cricketer Shane Warne and ex-wife Simone Callahan are thought to be back together after being photographed in the grandstand at the Wimbledon tennis final.
According to The Daily Telegraph, onlookers described the pair as "the picture of a happy couple" as they watched Roger Federer and Andy Roddick compete for the grand slam title.
Warne and Callahan, who have three children, separated in 2007 after he sent incriminating text messages meant for another woman to his wife. Callaghan had previously broken up with Warne after he admitted to affairs in 2005. At the time, she told Australian magazine New Idea: "I'm angry that I was fooled."
The pair didn't wait to see the outcome of the tennis final, leaving Centre Court before the end of the game.
Warne flew into the UK from Las Vegas, where he has been taking part in the World Series of Poker.

Turtles and tortoises are among the most exquisitely beautifully, intelligent, and amazing animals on Earth!
Avoid having one as a pet, since if we stop buying them, the companies that cruelly supply them will have to stop - the truth is that so many die in transport due to the horrible way they ship them and the lack of water or sustenance that these evil people just don't care.
We do, though, and here are some great petitions to sign to help turtles today!

New Office to Support Postdoctoral Fellows
Michigan State University has established the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs, providing increased support for the work and work lives of the university's postdoctoral fellows and continued support for the activities of the MSU Postdoctoral Association.
Antonio Nunez, associate dean for academic affairs and postdoctoral education, will serve as the office's faculty adviser and interim director while MSU conducts a search for a director next year. Nunez's appointment will be effective Jan. 1.
Nunez received a Ph.D. in neuroscience from Florida State University in 1977 and was awarded a postdoctoral fellowship from the National Institutes of Health to do research at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. He joined the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience Program at MSU in 1980, where he holds the title of full professor. His research is in the areas of neuroendocrinology and chronobiology and his laboratory has been funded over the last 35 years by research grants from several NIH institutes and the National Science Foundation.
The new office will have many responsibilities, including enhancement of career development resources available to postdoctoral scholars, as well as improvement of the postdoctoral experience at MSU.
MSU is home to nearly 500 research associates and postdoctoral fellows who have been served by the graduate school but are not graduate students. The Office of Postdoctoral Affairs' goal is to support them and help them to make a successful transition to other roles.
The office space is currently being prepared on the first floor of Owen Hall and is expected to open in early 2019.

Adam Reilly '11 has had an eventful four years since leaving IACS, full of exciting new self–discoveries.
Reilly began his post–IACS life at UMass Boston with a major in Environmental Science. During his two years there, he tinkered with Engineering, and then switched to English and applied to their education program. He was on track to become a high school teacher.
His experiences student teaching through an inner–city program called "Do the Write Thing" in Dorchester and with IACS English teacher Ryan Deery solidified Reilly's desire to teach. However, he said, "I felt out of place in the classroom because I didn't feel I had enough to offer my students. I didn't have any life experience. I knew I wanted to teach eventually, but it was then I decided I wanted to have a different career first."
Another significant moment for Reilly during his time at UMass Boston was his coming out his freshman year. At the time of his decision to delay teaching, he met Brandon, the man who would go on to become his husband in 2013. Brandon was stationed as a sailor in Groton, CT, and knowing that Brandon would be relocated soon, Reilly took a year off from school and moved to Groton. He took a seven credit course to get his EMT–B license to support his student loans and, he said, "absolutely fell in love with the subject matter."
"Medicine had always been an interest of mine, but never one that I wholeheartedly pursued or thought to pursue until I took that course," he said.
Reilly received his national certification as an EMT–B, and Brandon was relocated and they moved to Virginia Beach. "I made sure to apply to every job posting and university available that would be in our area, and I was accepted to Old Dominion University [ODU] and was hired with American Medical Response as an EMT–B," Reilly said.
Brandon was deployed for the next seven months on the George H.W. Bush carrier, during which the war against ISIS started. His ship was the first to respond against ISIS.
To keep his mind off of Brandon's deployment, Reilly kept himself busy, working full–time while also pursuing English at ODU and beginning a pre–medical track. He finished his first semester at ODU with a 3.8 cumlative GPA and was inducted into the Tau Sigma National Honors Society.
Brandon is now home and Adam continues a rigorous path at ODU. In addition to still working as an EMT (although he will drop to part–time to take advantage of undergraduate research opportunities at ODU), he was recently accepted into the Honors College. He plans to graduate in the spring of 2017 with a major in Biochemistry and a minor in English, after which he will attend medical school. Currently, he is studying for his MCAT. Ultimately, he hopes to join the Navy as a physician.
"As it stands right now, I'm on track!" he said.
Some of the best advice Reilly said he has received in his college career was from a college professors, who said undergraduate school is a place for students to focus on becoming better students and exploring their interests so they're prepared for graduate school.
"Hearing this was a great comfort to me because it gave me a lot more freedom. It allowed me to pursue my interests, and eventually led me to find myself and the person who I'm going to spend the rest of my life with."

When the remanufacturing industry started in the early 1990's, it took what was a monopoly OEM supply market and offered end users an alternative remanufactured legitimate choice, at a lower price. In the day, recycling was big news and companies were being led by governments to be more environmental friendly and more environmentally conscious. Recycling for reuse is good, still is, but let's be clear, no one buys a recycled, remanufactured toner cartridge because it saves the planet. They buy because of the money they save and they come back for more because the quality was good. Bad quality equals lost customers, period.
The decade of the 90's was for recycling, that was when we started to change our habits and separate our trash and be more conscious about the landfill and dumping unwanted items that could be put to reuse. The WEEE directive in Europe is a good example of legislation that prompts environment conscious actions and gets everyone involved, but, no one will pay more for a once – used product, it needs to be cheaper than the new virgin product, otherwise it does not satisfy our inner – brain debate, over whether it is a good deal or a bad deal.
As performance quality improved the remanufacturing industry gained market share and OEM's started losing that coveted monopoly position. The so-called "pirates" of the aftermarket took 25-30 percent of the monochrome market and maybe 10-12 percent of the color market at its peak. Inkjet cartridge market-share also grew and prompted many legal challenges over the years. We have witnessed all sorts of attacks on our eco-friendly industry, designed to warn end-users of all the dangers of buying non OEM supplies. Threats to void printer warranties if after-market supplies are used resulted in most OEM's retracting those type of statements after their legal counsel gave stern advice. Frivolous legal actions pushed a few unstable remanufacturers out, OEM performance propaganda rubbished the remanufactured cartridge performance time and time again. Lawsuits focused on ink formulations and some OEMs were very successful hitting back hard to reclaim lost market-share and limit aftermarket inkjet product availability through innovation and patents.
Things started to change when Chips were introduced in 2000. Initial simple chip designs became ever more complex chip designs using encryption technologies that would rival that used by the military. All to protect a cartridge and the margin dollars for the OEM. Underestimating the ingenuity and talent of the aftermarket is still a mistake that many litigious OEMs make. The infamous T650 Lexmark chip was a beast, but finally available to the industry after a three-year struggle, albeit at a very high price. OEM lawsuits claiming patent infringements became part of the way business was done. Even after-market players sued each other defending their own patents and proprietary technologies. The ITC section 337 complaints process became the way in which OEM's try to slow down or stop imports from overseas, and was a successful approach coupled with civil actions against infringing companies.
Still today, lawsuits are filed on a regular basis against those who can be challenged by OEM's. It has been a long road. It's been tough, and it's been expensive, even though the industry hid behind the "Right to repair Doctrine". The risk of being caught in litigation has always been present, it's not new. Some companies are successful in doing it the right way by investing in patent lawyers and patent engineers and design engineers, their own patented technology and cutting edge manufacturing facilities, to avoid any litigation fight and in the process protects its customers and its own business. Others, maybe 90% of those that export from China, disregard the Intellectual Property rights of patentees and make a copycat product that infringes and plague the market with extremely low prices in both North America and Europe. These companies will get caught, will face consequences and will, in the end, disappear from the market because customers will not tolerate un-necessary risk of litigation and put their own business on the line when they do not need to. Print-Rite is now, after a over 20-year investment program the clear market leader for new innovative IP safe (if we have to call it as a "New Build", it is a brand new "New Build" of INNOVATIVE IP safe cartridge instead of the "Copycat") products and remanufactured products.
Now in 2018, the end user has not two but three legitimate choices. 1. New virgin OEM original, at a high price, 2.Remanufactured at a lower than OEM price and now, 3. A new built INNOVATIVE compatible product that is an alternative new cartridge product, meticulously newly designed to not infringe OEM patents that is cheaper to a remanufacturer or a reseller, dealer or distributor than a remanufactured product price. Consistently higher quality than a variable quality remanufactured cartridge, since every component part is matched for optimum quality performance and is new, not one that has been used or hopefully selected with fingers crossed that it will run for life without creating a print defect during the cartridge cycle.
A whole range of new built INNOVATIVE cartridges compatible with multi OEM products that are now available from Print-Rite, the oldest and most respected Chinese based and global reaching company in the industry. All these products from Print-Rite are IP safe, higher consistent quality and yet cheaper than building a reman cartridge. That, of course, does not mean every new built cartridge coming out of China is the same, in the same way that not every remanufactured cartridge sold has new drum. Buyer beware, no matter where you buy your products, is a good maxim.
Why did this industry push to offer a third choice? The near monopolistic control of empty cartridges by one company, ensured that its competitors were forced to buy empties at inflated prices that rendered them uncompetitive, a strategic strategy which provided a real market advantage for many years. But it backfired badly when Impression Products of West Virginia, USA took Lexmark all the way to the Supreme Court of the USA and won. This victory changed the way in which patent law and the exhaustion of patents was interpreted. Now "empties" can be imported from anywhere into the USA and used as a good candidate for remanufacturing, but the cost of collection and distribution is still high. Secondly, the empty cartridge supply starvation and hiked price, forced Chinese manufacturers to look for ways to produce a new built IP safe cartridge product. It has been a huge investment program for over 20 years for Print-Rite, using in-house and outside IP lawyer teams, patent engineers and design engineers who are meticulous and diligent to the demanding task. During this period Print-Rite has amassed 2700 patents which puts Print-Rite clearly, way ahead of any competitor in this industry.
Some have argued that new built cartridge or "clones" as some people mistakenly refer to them are "very risky and should be avoided at all cost". These statements are untrue when it comes to Print-Rite compatible products, and are used in a general way because it suits those who are trying to scare customers away from looking at the 3rd legitimate option. These statements come from those who simply have run out of choice of what to say because they see volume of remanufactured cartridges being lost as informed resellers switch to legitimate new built cartridges. They, do not have the new built product or any capability to manufacturer anything but a remanufactured cartridge. They are faced with the stark reality that they cannot compete against a legitimate new built INNOVATIVE compatible cartridge which has consistently higher performance and is lower cost because it does not have a high priced empty as part of its bill of materials.
Fact is, that IF a new built compatible cartridge IS not infringing any OEM patent or third party patentee patent, it is, of course a genuine legitimate product that can be sold as an alternative to an OEM original. At Print-Rite we have already convinced many companies in both USA and Europe that our compatible cartridges are legitimate and non-infringing. We are happy to prove that point to any interested potential customer. The second consideration is quality, not just a lab queen remanufactured product but a consistent production line sample that removes the issue of variability that remanufactured cartridges have always had by nature of what they are. Price is lower than a remanufactured cost, because the inflated "controlled" price of the empty cartridge has been removed.
IP safe, consistently high quality at a lower than remanufactured cost, that is why some panic exists in the marketplace. That is why the "everything from China is a clone, brigade" try their utmost to scaremonger. Those who pedal remanufactured products understand that new built IP safe cheaper products of high quality is the only way to go for survival in what is a highly competitive world. Scaremongering, does not change the choice that resellers and alike have to make, and will inevitably make, since they create more profit.
Profit at the end of the day is not a dirty word, and every company in the world focuses on doing what is in its best interest, for "profit". New built, IP safe cartridges are simply more profitable than remanufactured cartridges for a reseller, that is, the catalyst that drives a full understanding of IP and the cartridge performance analysis. Once done the business decision comes easy enough.
Every OEM started off making a one – time use only toner cartridge, our industry forced the OEM collection of used cartridges so they could stop as many as they could from entering the remanufacturing industry. In a way their actions also fostered the era of new built IP safe compatibles. In time maybe we will see collection programs for the new built cartridges from the environmentally conscious organizations that make and resell new built cartridge products.
A new paradigm shift has arrived, it places those who have prospered and who has controlled the remanufacturing industry for decades, now at a significant disadvantage. The remanufacturer in our industry is on an inevitable journey moving from remanufacturing towards reselling new built IP safe products because they are better and more profitable. The question to answer is, "how long will it take you to accept the change and chose to be more profitable."
Risk and reward, speculate to accumulate are all part of doing business every day. Mitigate the risk and maximize the return is logical and the decision to embrace new built IP safe products is both the most logical and most rewarding decision to make. Trust but verify, as Ronald Reagan said, Let the industry leader, Print-Rite help you make the best decision for your business.
Steve Weedon – Head of Strategic Development of UTec (a key company of Print-Rite also the master global distributor of Print-Rite products).

James Van Der Zee (June 29, 1886 – May 15, 1983) was an African-American photographer best known for his portraits of black New Yorkers. He was a leading figure in the Harlem Renaissance. Aside from the artistic merits of his work, Van Der Zee produced the most comprehensive documentation of the period. Among his most famous subjects during this time were Marcus Garvey, Bill "Bojangles" Robinson and Countee Cullen.
Born and raised in Lenox, Massachusetts, VanDerZee obtained his first camera as a teenager and taught himself to take and develop photographs using family and friends as subjects. In 1905, he moved to New York and worked odd jobs for several years before becoming a darkroom assistant to a photographer in a Newark department store. VanDerZee quickly advanced from the darkroom to the portrait studio, and in 1911, his sister Jennie invited him to open a photography studio as an adjunct to the Toussaint Conservatory of Art and Music, which she operated out of her brownstone on 125th Street. In 1916, VanDerZee opened his own studio located at 109 125th Street, called the Guarantee Photo Studio (incorporated as the G.G.G. Photo Studio in 1928), and rapidly established himself as Harlem's preeminent photographer.

Xerokabos has many caves, the splendid neighbouring bay making a magical picnic place. A better place to spend time right by the sea, in peaceful surroundings and dramatic mountain backdrop, is hard to imagine.
Except the two beautiful beaches at Xerokampos worth visit as well is the Salt Lake or Alatsolimni a large salt lake which is dry during the Summer months and in the Winter floods with water and forms a small lagoon. The lagoon is an ideal refuge for many migratory birds such as flamingos, herons etc. In Alatsolimni forms and a beautiful beach.
Flowers lover, then you have to visit the beautiful isolated beach of Katsounaki. In order to get there you have to park and walk for a few minutes. Between the dunes sprouts the rare and beautful white sand lily.
West of the main beach beneath the small church of St. Nikolas in a small bay is the well known beach of Argilos or Clay because of the clay that exists in that area. Here you will see people covered with clay in order to make natural spa a sand bath and massage. Next to Argilos Beach is another superb beach of Gerontolakos with crystal clear waters and fine sand.
Visit the Toplou Monastery which is located about 11km east of Sitia, one of the wealthiest, most beautiful and most important monasteries in Crete. The historic monastery has a very special architecture with a square shape and it looks more like a castle.
Small excursions should include the Kapsa Monastery above the gorge of Perivolakia (about 10 km east of Makrygialos) and the remains of the medieval village of Vóila.
You can also make longer trips to the famous palm beach of Vaï (but don't go in July or August when it gets sadly crowded), the lively seaside town of Agios Nicolaos on the northern coast, the Lasithi Plateau famous for its 7,000 (or so) windmills, or, closer to 'home', the island of Koufonisi, to see the remains of the ancient Roman theatre and to go for a swim from the wonderful sandy beaches.
Sitia Town is an absorbing place to wander around, doing no more than enjoying atmosphere. The small narrow streets behind the seafront feature the everyday scenes of a Cretan provincial small town: villagers in to stock up on news and necessities and stores which cater to their every conceivable need.
Go to Kato Zakros which apart from having one of the largest archaeological sites just by the beach, has a far-away peaceful, end-of-the-road beach and small seafront, with a handful of tavernas serving all the food that you could wish to enjoy by the sea. Here you will find as well the excavations of the Minoan palace at Kato Zakros and the so-called Gorge of the Death a unique destination for hikers and the end of the European Path E4.
The Cave of Pelekita is situated at a distance of 5km northeast from Kato Zakros, and is one of the biggest caves in Crete with length of up to 310m and occupies an area appoximately 500m2. The interior is unique as spectacular stone blocks alternate wtih the stalactites and the stalagmites that decorate it.
Don't miss to enjoy the traditional, delicious cuisine at Platanakis Family Tavern at Kato Zakros.

Hundreds protest outside Britain's first drone base
Around 400 anti-war protesters descended on an RAF base today to protest the "obscenity" of using armed drones, controlled remotely from the UK, in Afghanistan.
The demonstrators marched from Lincoln to rally at nearby RAF Waddington, which assumed duty of the drone missions earlier this week.
Protesters, some carrying banners that read "No More Drones" and "Murdered by Robots", said the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles to wage war from British soil raised numerous legal, ethical and moral issues.
Chris Nineham, vice-chair of the Stop the War Coalition, said the UAVs, which were previously controlled from a US Air Force facility in Nevada, were a "barbaric form of high-tech killing".
Addressing the crowd outside Waddington, Stop the War Coalition convener Lindsey German said:
There is nothing like getting close up to these bases to see how menacing they are. It brings home that (the UK is) engaged in drone warfare - it is warfare which is operated remotely at absolutely no risk to anybody in this country but with terrible consequences for people in countries many, many thousands of miles away. Nobody knows how many have died and nobody knows their names.
Chris Cole, a co-ordinator of the Drone Campaign Network, said there was an accountability issue with the weapons.
"Because of their remote nature, there is no risk to any of our forces and that makes it easier to launch weapons and makes it much easier for politicians to get involved in warfare," he said.
The Ministry of Defence defended the deployment, saying the drones have "undoubtedly" helped to save the lives of military personnel and those of countless Afghan civilians.
"In all military operations everything possible is done to avoid civilian casualties and this is no less the case with RPAS (Remotely Piloted Air System) operations," an MoD spokesperson said.
Officials also stressed that Reaper drones are primarily operated in Afghanistan in a surveillance and reconnaissance role.

The azure of the Kaštela Bay will enter your room and rest on your eyes as soon as you open them in the morning while still in bed. And as you come out of the house you will not step on the packed avenue, but on the green grass of the lawn and garden and pick your tomato (and water it in the evening if you wish), cut some parsley or check olive trees and their fruit that will be processed into that divine oil you find in the kitchen.
During your stay at Villa Plano you can participate in the olive harvest or other activities in the olive garden, you can learn to play popular Dalmatian game "balote" in a specially built playground, take a refreshing dip in the pool or use the small gym. Its is in a perfect location, being close to Trogir and not too far from Split and a 5 minute drive to the local supermarket.
We can also organize excursions into the surrounding destinations depending on your interests and provide you tickets for sport and cultural events, concerts, plays... So if you are looking for a place to rest or to create – have no doubt – you've just found it at Villa Plano!

Error -107 when loading url https://www.staysure.co.uk/travel-i...
This is the message I get when I try to go into various sites.
Please can you tell me how to solve it.
Thank you
URL worked fine on my Win 10. What browser are you using and is it the same on alternatives?
Please give the full error message off the screen (I was unable to find any reference to it).
Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks
Googling the error does not bring any significant results.
What browser are you using?
Try clearing out browser history.
Try a different browser (Edge, IE, Firefox, Chrome).
It is possible that one of your browser add ons needs updating or needs to be disabled.
There are other possibilities including malware but lets see the results above first.
You have to be a little bit crazy to keep you from going insane.
Thank you for both replies.
Derek asked me to give the whole error message off screen and here it is:
Error -107 when loading url https://www.staysure.co.uk/travel-i...
Fingers asked me what browser I am using - AOL.
I have tried a different browser and with Google Chrome the problem does not occur.
Perhaps this would help you to go further, please.
Thank you.
I'm not familiar with AOL stuff - it's not very widely used these days. Is this the browser you mean?:
If so about the only thing I can suggest is the restore (but heed the warnings):
Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks
message edited by Derek
I did not know that AOL still had or supported a browser any longer, I certainly do not know of anyone who is still using it. Back in the late '90's most of us considered AOL as 'training wheels' for the internet and most went beyond that (though some still use their email addresses). I would STRONGLY recommend using a different browser, I prefer Mozilla Firefox, some use Chrome, others use either Internet Explorer or the newer Edge (Windows 10 only). If you do not have trouble using two of the other browsers then I would conclude that the site does not support AOL (not uncommon) or they have not included recent updates for compatibility. I am not really putting down AOL but I see no reason for it any longer.
You have to be a little bit crazy to keep you from going insane.
Thank you for your help, again.
Indeed AOL is still around and it is time I move on, I think.
I have been reluctant to do so for years for fear of losing my email adresses or my large collection of favorites.

How He Asked
We had an amazing dinner at the Houmas House, an antebellum-period sugar plantation in southern Louisiana. After dinner, we walked the grounds and I had already planned to propose at the Japanese Tea House. I had a friend waiting at the tea house that she wouldn't immediately recognize, to take professional pictures and capture our special moment. We actually walked right past him as we went to the terrace and stood overlooking the parade grounds! It was a magical night!

MANILA, Philippines - Local cement maker Holcim Philippines Inc. plans to expand its market and offer a wider range of construction solutions following its acquisition of Lafarge Republic Inc.'s Star Terminal in Manila and its aggregates business in Rizal.
Holcim Philippines president and CEO Eduardo Sahagun said the purchase is a welcome addition to the company's business.
"These assets further strengthen our ability to provide products and solutions that help our customers and partners in the construction industry," he said.
He said Lafarge's Star Terminal would strengthen Holcim Philippines' ability to support customers in Metro Manila and South Luzon while the acquisition of Lafarge Republic Aggregates Inc., located in Angono, Rizal, would provide the company an established aggregates business.
The plant in Angono produces quality of basalt aggregates, an important ingredient of concrete and asphalt.
Holcim Philippines closed the deal Tuesday and paid P3.09 billion for the assets.
The company is a member of the Lafarge Holcim Group, the world leader in the building materials industry with 115,000 employees in 90 countries.
Holcim Ltd. and Lafarge S.A. completed their global merger and launched LafargeHolcim on July 15.
The newly formed merged company offers a wide range of value-adding products, innovative services and comprehensive building solutions.
It also seeks to provide construction solutions for important structures for development.
At present, Holcim Philippines produces four cement products: Holcim Excel, Holcim WallRight, Holcim Premium Bulk and Holcim 4X. Its products are sold in 40 kg. bags, tonner bags and in bulk.
It also operates four cement plants in La Union, Bulacan, Misamis Oriental and Davao.

Our Golden Comet chicks are now one month old. They're starting to get feathers, enjoy running around in their outside run and eating bugs. We hear that they are excellent layers and very friendly from both our internet research and our friends at EastWind Community.
Our Black Austrolorps are almost six months old now, and they're laying eggs like, uhm, like chickens. We have fifty of them, and they slowly started with small, ping-ping ball sized sort of eggs and are now laying more than 30 eggs a day, often with double yolks. They're dual-purpose chickens, for egg production and meat, and with a rooster they can start making more baby chickens for us in the future.
Future updates could include: How soon until the Golden Comets start laying eggs? Pictures of them in their lovely chicken tractors? Letting you know how our new $40 craigslist incubator works out and if we have a steady stream of baby chickens? Will the Austrolorps go broody in the spring? Here's hoping we don't break/lose our camera again.

Golf is a game of highs and lows, not just with regards scoring. When I'm going through a good spell of play, I feel on top of the world, I can't wait to get out on the course and I curse bad weather that prevents it. I look forward to trips to my club, hoping someone might just ask how I got on in the last competition I entered. I enjoy everything about the sport – watching, reading about and writing about it, as well as playing it of course.
However, when going through a bad patch things change dramatically. I can say this with great clarity as I'm experiencing an extremely bad patch at the moment. This winter/Alliance season has been my worst ever – an absolutely desperate run of games around the North East of Scotland. In the main I've handed in no-returns (probably approaching double figures,) and those rounds I have completed have been well into the 80s. A couple of seasons ago I got through an entire Alliance season where I didn't fail to break 80 in a single round.
I'm supposed to play off a three handicap for goodness sake, and a few years back I got down to one and was threatening scratch! Now I can't even scratch by own backside.
I'm in serious danger of falling out of love with playing golf. I've actually welcomed the recent snow and bad weather as it's averted more frustration, wild driving and woeful displays of short game. Jessie (wife) has stopped bothering to ask how I got on when I return from a game, she knows the response will be a clipped, "terrible." Or, "I don't want to talk about it." I've threatened to do it a few times in recent years when my golf has been bad, but this time I've actually done it – taken up cycling!
I'm sure it's just a phase. I'll probably shoot level par in the first Medal of the 2013 season and put my new road bike straight on eBay. I hope so at least. Cycling is far more tiring than golf!
I do still love golf as a sport and, no matter how badly I play, there's nothing better than watching it on the telly, particularly when you have a little bet on the action.
I've been doing rather well on that front in recent months. Those of you who read my online previews on this website might be aware of that. In the first seven tournaments of the 2013 European Tour season, I've predicted five winners and I've had a little wager on each of them.
A couple of the picks haven't been that outstanding – Schwartzel to win at Leopard Creek and Oosthuizen in Durban didn't achieve huge rewards. And, Sterne last week in Joburg at 16-1 wasn't a massive money-spinner either. But, Scott Jamieson at 60-1 winning the Nelson Mandela Champs and then Stephen Gallacher at the same odds, winning in Dubai, earned me a fair few quid.
I can't believe Gallacher's odds were that long. He was runner-up in the event last year and had been on decent form in recent months. I would have had him more around the 35-1 mark. I imagine the bookie wishes he had too.
I wrote a few months ago how I was going to start betting on my online predictions. I looked back over my picks and then the results through last October and realised I would have cleaned up if I'd had money down. I feared then that, as soon as I put my money where my mouth was, I'd come a cropper. Well, that hasn't exactly happened and, to this point, I've increased my initial investment by 10 times. Not a bad return.
No doubt it'll all come crashing down. But, for now, I'm living in a deluded world where I'm just an amazing tipster. I can't help thinking that, by studying the tournaments on the European and PGA tour week-in, week-out I must have a bit of an advantage when it comes to predicting those who might perform well. We'll see how it pans out over the coming months.
This week I've picked Van Zyl, Van der Walt and Drysdale for the Africa Open and Walker, Stadler and Goosen in the Northern Trust Open. They'll probably all miss the cut!

SHENZHEN, China (Reuters) - The IBC Mall in Shenzhen's Luohu district was sealed off and under police supervision on Friday evening, with around 200 people queuing outside waiting for COVID-19 tests from medical personnel in protective suits.
An official Guangdong Health Commission WeChat account channel said the alert was prompted by a COVID-19 case at the mall.
The confirmed case was a 41-year-old woman who had been working inside the Alibaba-owned supermarket Freshippo as a temporary brand promotor until Aug. 2, according to a source familiar with the matter.
The worker was diagnosed in her home city of Lufeng, in Guangdong, the commission said. Three of her family members also tested positive.
An outbreak in the city of Urumqi in the far western region of Xinjiang in July was thought to have originated with a mall worker.
On Monday, Shenzhen authorities announced three Chinese citizens returning to the southern city from Russia had tested positive for the virus while in quarantine.
