Other European nations joined the Mille Miglia and it would take 4 years before a non-Italian driver won the coveted trophy. For more than a decade, the races became the marquee for endurance races in Europe. Many European developed cars joined the races to show their supremacy in car manufacturing.

Many cars though did not survive the ordeal and some racers didn’t even get to finish the race. But they were still magnificent race cars that were the epitome of sports cars then.

Do-It-Yourself Gift Baskets

Do-It-Yourself Gift Baskets

The gift-giving season has many people scrambling to find the perfect gifts and presents for their loved ones, relatives, friends, business contacts, bosses, co-workers, employees, as well as for everyone else on the long list of people that presents have to be purchased for. Unfortunately the whole process of buying gifts when it comes to finding the right one is not always easy. There are some gifts that may be too expensive, too cheap, to gaudy, or to awkward to give that you may not know what to get at all. However, one gift that is always given every season by many people all over the globe is gift baskets.

On the other hand, there are still some gift baskets that may not be right for just everyone. Even though there are a plethora of gift basket companies on the market today that traditionally have their gift baskets setting out in grocery and retail stores across the nation, some of the so-called gifts that are included may be just a little weird to give to someone on your list. For this reason many people actually choose do-it-yourself gift baskets. These are the gift baskets that you can choose everything from the type of basket you give to what gifts are included with the gift.

When it comes to purchasing the actual gift basket part of the present there are hundreds of styles to choose from in boutique shops and retail stores in shopping malls and other places that you regularly go to. Of course another obvious option that you may have is to make your own gift basket. There are plenty of instructions for making your own gift basket that can be found online, and the directions range from the different types of material that is used all the way to creating unique shapes for the gift baskets as well!

After you've purchased the actual basket or made the basket it is then time to turn your attention towards filling it with gifts that are perfect for the person on your list to buy for. The gifts that go inside a gift basket don't have to be all that expensive at all either, which makes purchasing them all the more easier! A couple examples, though, of the gifts you may want to include in your do-it-yourself gift basket are gift cards, coffees, soaps, air fresheners, candies, accessories, as well as a variety of other smaller gifts that can be easily purchased in a retail department store!

Of course putting the finishing touches on the do-it-yourself gift basket is also good so that a bit of personality and style can be added to it, and even a colorful gift tag can be attached to the outside of the basket as well. But chances are that after you've finished the gift basket for your friends, family, co-workers, employers, and other people on your list and have carefully chosen each gift inside the basket yourself then they will love everything that they receive!

Decorating your Gift Basket

Decorating your Gift Basket


Gift baskets are one of the ways to make your loved ones feel special and if you have ever had the opportunity to make a gift basket of all your own then chances are that you know how special it can feel to do so. Perhaps the main reason that you feel proud about the gift basket that you are about to give to your family or friend is because you have spent countless hours putting together something that will be appreciated for a long time! One essential part of the gift basket making process, though, is decorating the outside. If you already own a gift basket business then chances are that you have a trick or two up your sleeve that will do nicely for decorating the outside of a gift basket, but here are some ideas if you're not quite sure how to go about doing it.

For starters, wrapping cellophane paper around the outside of the basket and everything that is contained inside is the best thing that anyone could do for a gift basket. Considering the fact that cellophane paper is just about the only way that gift baskets are ever wrapped you will probably be hard pressed to find anything else. Of course you can always use another type of shrink wrap paper underneath the cellophane plastic outer wrapping, but this is only usually done if the gift basket is filled with fruits or other awkward gifts.

The outside wrapping of the gift basket, though, is just the start of decorating the outside of the gift basket. There are so many other things that one can do in order to make the outside look pretty and creative. For starters, curling ribbons and taping them on the outside of the cellophane paper or other outer wrapping will add a creative and beautiful decoration to the outside of the gift basket. There are plenty of colors in which ribbons can be purchased as well so making good use of colors is also another tip if ribbons are going to be taped to the gift basket.

Of course you also don't want to forget about the loose ends of the wrapping paper, either. The top of the gift basket will more than likely need to be tied somehow and this is where some other use of the ribbons can be used. One suggestion that you have is to simply tie a small bow around the top of the cellophane or other wrapping paper of the gift basket, but another interesting thing to do would be to make the ribbon a very long one. You can either be creative and wrap it multiple times around the base of the gift basket or you can do another creative thing by attaching a helium balloon to the top of the gift basket as well!

One also doesn't want to forget about the gift tag that should go on a gift basket, either. Making sure that the recipient knows who the gift basket is from is very crucial. One can either by plain gift tags or they can even make their own at home! Altogether, though, all of these things are great suggestions if wanting to make the most out of decorating a gift basket!

Creating a Birthday Gift Basket

Creating a Birthday Gift Basket


Birthdays are those extra-special occasions where you want to buy the right gift for your family member, but sometimes even the right birthday gift won't tell the person how you feel about them and how happy you are to have them in your life. What many people choose to do if this scenario arises, though, is to buy or create a birthday gift basket. Birthday gift baskets are great gifts to give because not only will they offer a variety of gifts to your family member or friend, but it is a chance to give the person multiple gifts as one single gift rather than simply handing him or her a small, neatly wrapped present. Even though there is something unique about buying a small birthday gift, baskets that include a whole range of gifts are sometimes considered even better!

Nevertheless, you may even have trouble deciding what type of gifts to put in your birthday gift basket, right? If you're like most people (and chances you are) then you're probably thinking that no amount of gift baskets or no matter how large a gift basket is will make your present sufficient. This may be true, but on the other hand you must consider the fact that you should try to actually spoil the person that you're buying for. If you truly want to spoil the birthday boy or girl then getting him or her a bunch of different gifts is a good idea!

The First Step

The first thing that you should probably do is to actually buy a basket so that you can create the gift basket that you want to give for a birthday. Even though it may not really matter what type of basket you buy, you will have to make sure that all the gifts you buy does fit nicely within the whole basket itself. Of course you won't be wrapping the basket in birthday wrapping paper (or perhaps you will be) but you may actually wrap it in some sort of cellophane wrapping paper.

Buying the Gifts

Of course, naturally the next thing that you'll want to do is actually buy the birthday gifts that you'll want included with the birthday gift basket. There are plenty of different fun options for doing this, but the best way to go about buying birthday presents for the whole basket is to think about what your family member or friend likes and dislikes!

Decorating the Outside

After you have all the gifts purchased and the whole gift basket wrapped how you are going to present it then it may actually be a good idea to decorate the outside of the basket itself. You can decorate it with streamers, birthday curls made out of ribbons, balloons, as well as a variety of other decorations. Perhaps you can even include a couple birthday candles that are taped to the outside or somehow stuck on the outside of the gift basket. All in all, though creating birthday gift baskets doesn't have to be a chore, but many people love doing it!

Creating a Coffee Gift Basket

Creating a Coffee Gift Basket


For someone that loves coffee, giving them a coffee gift basket can be one of the best things possible to do for them. Of course if you know exactly what types of coffee that they drink then this process will be a whole lot easier, but if you don't know what coffee they drink but only know that they're addicts when it comes to their cup of Joe in the morning then chances are that you'll be doing them a huge favor by purchasing a coffee gift basket.

There are plenty of choices on the market today for gift baskets and a coffee gift basket is just another one in the sea of themed-gift baskets. In addition, coffee is probably the most heavily relied upon product to combine in gift baskets simply because it's consumed by millions of people all over the world! However, you want to be careful that you don't buy this type of gift basket for the wrong person, but chances are that you'll already know if your friend or family member dislikes coffee.

Nevertheless, the first thing that you should probably do when trying to think of how to create the best coffee gift basket possible is to check out all of your options beforehand. Consider whether or not there are any pre-made gift baskets in the store that contain coffee items and gifts. Since coffee is such a prevalent beverage, as mentioned above, there is a very good chance that retail stores that carry gift items will naturally carry coffee gifts that are included in gift baskets as well!

If there are no coffee gift baskets, though, or even if there are and you simply want to create your own basket in the first place, then the first place to start would be a coffee mug. The coffee mug is a great accessory for anyone who has a coffee addiction and mugs are always a great gift to remember you buy. In addition, if you know that your family member or friend travels quite frequently then one common suggestion to try would be to look for a travel coffee mug to include with the gift basket. These travel mugs don't have to be expensive, but there are some decent-quality ones on the market that will keep coffee fresh, hot, and steamy all at the same time!

The next aisle you'll want to approach is the coffee aisle. Of course here you'll have a bunch of different options just because of the great amount of coffee in the world. There's Columbian coffee, cappuccinos, espresso products, plain old coffee beans, French Vanilla coffee, cinnamon coffee, hazelnut coffee, as well as many hundreds of other types of coffee to choose from. If you are putting these gifts in a gift basket then a good idea would be to buy several different coffee sampler products so that the recipient will be able to try out a bunch of different flavors. On the other hand, if you know that he or she loves a specific flavor then you may just want to buy the majority of that coffee flavor along with some new ones for him or her to try!

All in all, making a coffee gift basket is probably one of the most fun things to do when searching for the perfect gift or gift basket for that special person in your life. Not only are there hundreds of choices to decide from, but chances are that there are plenty of coffee products that your friend or family member loves as well!

Buying Gift Baskets for Family and Friends

Buying Gift Baskets for Family and Friends


There are all sorts of gifts for your family and friends that may seem like the "right" gift, but there are some times throughout your life that you may just pass up on practically everything that you see because nothing seems right or like the perfect gift for the person you are buying. There are all sorts of reasons why you may be hesitating to buy a gift for your family member's birthday or your friend's Halloween party. But being in a difficult spot shouldn't hinder you at all from eventually picking up the right gift. One route that many people take in their lives is to buy gift baskets for their family and friends no matter what occasion it is. From Halloween to Christmas to birthday parties, gift baskets can be filled with a range of gifts that are perfect for any occasion.

Family Gift Baskets

A gift basket for your family member is considerably a lot different than gift baskets for your friends. However, some of the same gifts could be used for each, but the reason for saying that was to make note of the fact that your family's gift baskets should definitely be more personal than the ones for your other friends simply because they're your family and they usually deserve something extra special. For this reason, though, there are a plethora of family gift basket ideas, such as including pictures of family events, decorating the gift basket with shared memorabilia, as well as including things in the gift basket that would only be remembered by you and the other family member. Chances are that if you have this good of a relationship with your other family members then you won't even be purchasing a gift basket, but nevertheless these are some great ideas for family members' gift baskets!

Friends' Gift Baskets

On the other hand, chances are that your friends' gift baskets will take on a whole different meaning. Think about the times, though, that you've tried to find the perfect gift (other than a gift basket) for one of your friends. If they are a relatively new friend or acquaintance then chances are that you might not know enough about the person to get them what they truly want, which is another reason that should be added to the list of why gift baskets are good ideas! They truly offer an in-between style present for the person you are buying it for. If this is going to be for your friend, though, you may want to include some small gifts that you think they'd like, but also include some others that you may not be too sure about just to be on the safe side!

All things considered, creating a gift basket for your family, friends, and acquaintances doesn't have to be that difficult at all. However, it only takes a little bit of time and consideration before packing it all together to think about what type of gifts you'll be including. Whether you'll be including large gifts, like reading books or small electronic gadgets, or smaller gifts like electronic accessories or other type of small gifts is really dependent upon your relationship with the other person. All in all, though, making sure you have the right gifts in a gift basket is very important!

Candy Gift Baskets

Candy Gift Baskets


Gift baskets are probably one of the most favorite gifts to give away simply because they are not only fun to buy or make, but they're also fun to receive. Just the thought of receiving a bunch of different small things, or a lot of one single thing, is enough to make someone happy at the gift that they got. The holiday times are when gift baskets are usually given, but of course gift baskets can be purchased for numerous other occasions, such as birthdays, weddings, baby showers, Valentine's Day, or any other occasion that gift baskets may seem appropriate to give.

There are all sorts of ideas for creating your own gift basket to give away to someone, but one idea that is actually frequently used by many people throughout the world is a candy gift basket. Unless you're buying a gift for someone that's intentionally on a diet or just can't stand candy for some reason, candy is usually always well-received! Here are some ideas for filling the gift basket you're about to give with some of the best candy in a candy store:

Filling the Bottom

Perhaps one of the important things to do when filling a gift basket is to make sure there is plenty of stuff on the bottom of the gift basket to enjoy. Many gift baskets simply have a soft padding, such as shredded paper or even tissue paper lying in the bottom, but for a candy gift basket one suggestion to use would be to fill the bottom with M&Ms or little chocolate candy pieces such as those. It doesn't matter whether they're taken out of the wrapper or not, though, but if they were dumped out of the wrapper for the gift basket then chances are that they are going to be used simply for decoration anyway. But an M&M chocolate bottom can be used to hold the rest of the candy in the gift basket.

The Heart of the Gift Basket

The next thing that you'll want to get to is the heart and body of the actual gift basket that you're making. There are plenty of options here, but the best thing to do would be to take a trip to the candy store and spend just a set amount of money on candy altogether. Little candy bars can be thrown in, candy mints, gummy worm and other gummy candies, as well as a whole bunch of other option. The best thing to remember, though, is to fill the gift basket to the brim if you're going to make it right!

After you're all done filling the bottom of the gift basket, as well as the main part that the recipient will see then it is time to buy a few other large pieces of candy so that they'll lay neatly on top. Choices for this can either be King Size candy bars, big packages of variety packs of candy, licorice sticks, and just anything that would fit neatly on the top of the basket.

Of course you'll also probably want to wrap the gift basket in shrink wrap so that none of the candy falls out. You can obviously wrap the basket with a nice bow or ribbon for presentation and to secure the shrink wrap, but the essential directions of the candy gift basket should be adhered to as described above!

International Health Insurance for Overseas Travel

International Health Insurance for Overseas Travel


Traveling overseas is enjoyed by a lot of people nowadays because of the many choices when it comes to international travel. You can travel through air, by land, or sea. It all depends on where you plan to travel. This may be one reason why a lot of people want to get international health insurance.

For many years now, international health insurance is becoming more and more popular. By having this type of insurance plan, you can expect that your medical needs are covered even when you're in a distant place. Injuries and illnesses can happen at any time during your vacation and it will be a good thing if you're insured.

Health related problems can occur while you're away from home and since you're not a local resident of the place that you're visiting, you are not qualified to receive health care benefits provided by the local government. If you frequently travel overseas for vacation or for business, you should never be caught without an international travel insurance policy.

The two plans offered as basic international health insurance are travel and expatriate insurance. Both plans provide accident and sickness coverage but the coverage may vary depending on the number of days stay overseas.

Travel health or medical insurance is more popular than the expatriate because travelers think that this is a much better option especially for those who travel for only a couple of days, weeks, or months. This type of plan consists of a $1,000,000 coverage on ordinary emergency healthcare, trip interruption, and home coverage.

If you have plans to stay overseas for quite some time, you need to get expatriate health insurance. Make sure that you're covered in the foreign country and if you're with your family, they must be covered too.  This type of plan can be renewed and the coverage amount can reach as high as $5,000,000.

Insurance needs vary from one individual to another. It is therefore very important to identify all your insurance needs first before shopping for international health insurance. You must also know how long you're going to stay overseas – in terms of days, week, months, or years. Getting international health insurance is truly a wise move if you want to protect yourself, as well as your family.

Traveling overseas is not an easy decision. You see, you must have the proper resources and money in order to finance your way out of your home country. You would need extra money for some petty expenses, you need to pack your things, and most especially, you need to buy international health insurance. If you put all these things together, it can mean big money.

If you choose to travel without any form of insurance at all, you will surely regret it once you meet a medical emergency abroad because it can eat-up all your savings and leave you bankrupt. What's worse is if you're in another country and you don’t have close friends and relatives to help you out. So don’t make this mistake and secure your travel abroad.

Get the right international health insurance that can meet all your needs as you travel abroad and one that can fit right into your financial condition at present. Go for reputable and well-established insurance providers in the industry. Check if they offer specialized international health insurance policies.

Being Successful With Your Gift Basket Biz

Being Successful With Your Gift Basket Biz


Creating a unique business always gives you the upper hand because it gives you the opportunity to stand out from the crowd. If you live in a relatively small town and would like to start a gift basket business then chances are that you are pretty much the only one in town who is going to do such a thing. As a side note, one of the great things about living in small towns is that you can develop creative businesses without fear of it being replicated too much, but on the other hand big cities usually always have duplicates of small businesses. Nevertheless, though, a gift basket business is not only a lucrative opportunity for you to profit in your market you're about to advertise to, but it also gives you the chance to hone your creative thinking skills and personality!

If you have already somewhat gotten started making gift baskets and advertising your service to family and friends then you probably already have a lot of orders coming in. This can be a good thing because it allows you to get your feet wet without having a full-fledged brick-and-mortar gift basket store, but once you can keep up with the orders then it may be time to take your gift basket biz to the next level.

What's the next level, though?  In many businesses people see the "next level" as something that they will eventually reach, but the next level for a small gift basket business often involves making professional ways to advertise your services at the very least. For example, creating a website is just one of the ways you can successfully advertise your services. Another way, though, is through the development of business cards that you can pass around your city or town. The point is, though, to spread the word about your profession so that you will be able to have orders for gift baskets coming in daily. Let's face it: there are plenty of occasions going on daily that people need gift baskets for and tapping into the market is one good thing about your business.

Another thing that one should definitely do with his or her gift basket business is to keep him or her self as organized as possible. Even though you may have previously just gone out to stores to create gift baskets on a per-order basis, one idea to try would be to keep everything at your house or another storage facility so that you can simply use the resources and materials that you have as you need them. This will not only save a whole lot of money, but you'll also be saving valuable time as well just in case a whole bunch of gift basket orders come in all at once!

There are plenty of other ways to be successful with your gift basket biz. If you're just starting out in the business then you may want to experience making many different types of the gift baskets themselves, changing the actual gift baskets that you use, or just mixing things up a bit so that your business will stay as creative as possible!

Building Your Gift Basket Business

Building Your Gift Basket Business


Going into business for yourself and making a name for your company is always going to be difficult and building a gift basket business is definitely no exception to the rule. There are many interesting things about building a gift basket business, however, that one should know about before they ever get started! What type of baskets are going to be used, what the baskets will be filled with, and how much they'll sell for are just part of the tip of the iceberg when considering a gift basket business. However, here are some general guidelines to use if you need some direction as to where to go when creating gift baskets:

Filling the Gift Baskets

As mentioned, one issue that needs to be thought about is exactly what type of products or gifts the baskets will be filled with. There are a couple of options that one has to take. First, this business could be a themed gift basket business, meaning that the baskets could take on a Christmas theme, Easter theme, or even a Birthday theme. Of course, these baskets could also take on a multi-purpose theme where they could represent any type of holiday or event that they're bought for. One thing that will distinguish your business from others, however, is the uniqueness. Finding what is unique about your gift basket business compared to another's is crucial because it will allow you to market your company a lot better!

The Type of Baskets

There are so many shapes and sizes of gift baskets that it's probably going to be a difficult task to decide which ones to use. However, a great idea for this dilemma would be to let the type of gift basket determine the range of baskets that you'll be using. Since there are several different sizes of gift baskets on the market, one could have one price for a small basket, another price for a medium-sized one, and a higher price for a bigger basket. This way your customers won't have to feel like they are buying the most expensive product, but you'll be giving them choices so that they'll have something to decide from.

How Much

A big issue that you'll obviously need to think awhile about is how much you'll charge for the gift baskets that you're building. Even though competition in your price for the baskets is key, it is also important to not let the market decide how much you will actually be making for your hard work. If you do, however, you just might get bogged down into price wars, which isn't a good thing for anyone. Taking a look a current market prices for gift baskets around your area is a good idea because it will allow you to set your prices accordingly, but relying on them too heavily is unnecessary.

All of these things are very important when dealing with a gift basket business. Deciding how much your baskets will cost, the type of baskets used, and what you'll fill your gift baskets with are just several of the most important issues to think about!

Alternatives To Gift Baskets


Alternatives To Gift Baskets



When searching for the perfect gift for one of your family members or even one of your friends there is usually a whole lot of pressure to buy the right thing simply because you don't want to disappoint anyone. There are times when you just don't know what to buy, and everyone has those experiences as well. Some people choose to take their time when buying gifts while others like to get it done as quickly as possible. One route that many people take when they find that buying gifts is too difficult is to purchase gift baskets for their friends and families. Gift baskets can be good gifts for multiple reasons; one of them being that the recipient will receive a whole plethora of smaller gifts instead of one.

However, some people may consider gift baskets to be some of the most impersonal gifts they could ever get (even less so than cash!) just because it shows that the person who's buying it doesn't really know him or her at all. Of course, this doesn't go for gift baskets that have a theme running through them, like sports memorabilia and the like. But simply because gift baskets can be seen as impersonal means that if you aren't sure what to get for your close friends or family then maybe it's time to finally ask them what they've always wanted. Until you know that piece of information, though, here are some ideas to check out that can be used as alternatives to gift baskets:

Board Games

Unless you know the person really well and know that he or she doesn't like the thought of board games, buying a board game usually always is something that plenty of people enjoy. Whether it's buying a relatively older game with a new twist, such as a new version of Monopoly, or buying one of the latest games on the market that is also fun, such as Mad Gab, there are plenty of choices in retail stores that you'll have to make. Nevertheless, though, hopefully you can see how board games can be used as alternative gifts to gift baskets!

Gift Cards

Even though gift cards are essentially a trade of cash, buying gift cards for your friends and family can be a unique thing to do. Of course this requires knowing exactly where the recipient likes to shop, but these are the perfect alternative to a gift basket. Instead of putting your money into one large basket that may contain a bunch of things that your friends and family dislike, placing all of the money that you'd be spending on the individual on a store gift card is a great idea! Of course, you may just want to include a little bit more money on the gift card than you would have actually spent, but buying a gift cards is a great present for someone whom you don't know what to buy.

Of course, there are plenty of other perfect gifts that are great ideas and alternatives to gift baskets. Oftentimes gift baskets come in big, bulky packages anyway so buying something that is less cumbersome is a good idea!

Baby Shower Gift Baskets

Baby Shower Gift Baskets


When it comes to celebrating the birth of a baby the traditional thing to do would be to hold a baby shower for the pregnant women. Many people do this all over the world, and the baby shower is an important event because it includes pretty much every close friend and family member who is going to be a part of the baby's life in some way or another. But those who are having the baby shower can invite pretty much anyone that they want, however, many people have trouble finding the perfect give for the soon-to-be-mother.

An excellent gift for her and her unborn child, though, is a baby shower gift basket. There are plenty of ways to create the perfect baby shower gift basket and there are so many choices available that you'll probably have trouble deciding what to include and what to leave out of the gift basket. But here are some suggestions if a gift basket is what you're trying to create for the mother-to-be and her unborn boy or girl.

Baby Products

There are so many things that the mother is going to need right off the bat after the baby is born. Diapers are just one of those necessary items, although, diapers are also another frequently given gift. If you are going to include diapers in your gift basket, though, one suggestion for laying them out would be to line the inside border of the baby shower gift basket with diapers so that they are going all the way around.

A few of the other baby products that should be included are baby lotions, baby bath soap, baby wash cloths, and baby oils. All of these baby shower gifts are things that the mother will need for her baby when the little one arrives so preparing the mother with everything possible is a good idea!

Mother's Gifts

Of course you also don't want to leave out the mother when creating your baby shower gift basket. There are plenty of products that could be included for the mother-to-be, such as relaxation products that will help her to relax when she's worried about her pregnancy and the near-future birth. A few ideas to include would be stress balls, votive candles, as well as a variety of hot tea products. It may be also a good idea to include lotions and bath products for the mother as well. Lotions, such as stretch mark reduction cream, will definitely be much appreciated in the baby shower gift basket.

Simply put, there are many gifts and possibilities that one has when creating the perfect gift basket for a baby shower guest of honor. Chances are that no matter what you fill the gift basket with the mother will appreciate everything inside. Baby showers are the one event where creativity can show through, so you may just want to put on your thinking cap before going out to buy things to put in the baby shower gift basket in the first place!

BlackBerry claims 100,000 apps for BB10 devices


BlackBerry claims 100,000 apps for BB10 devices

http://www.vip4soft.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/BlackBerry-App-World_630%C3%97332.jpg

Seven weeks after it launched its new BlackBerry 10 operating system, BlackBerry has announced it now has over 100,000 apps on its app marketplace, adding 30,000 new titles to the marketplace in that time. To mark the occasion, BlackBerry says that Amazon Kindle, OpenTable and the Wall Street Journal have seen their apps go live today, with eBay, Skype, Rdio, Viber, and other high-profile apps due to hit the store in the "coming weeks."
Other major apps must launch on the platform if it wants to lure consumers away from iOS and Android
BlackBerry has pushed hard to get app developers to submit their apps, and whilst it doesn't have superstar app titles like Instagram available, Twitter, LinkedIn and Foursquare were all onboard at the BlackBerry 10 launch in February. Unlike Apple or Google, where all apps are native to the operating system, BlackBerry also relies on its ability to support Android apps, which is based on a version of Android that is pushing two years of age (although support for Android 4.1 is coming). Developers can sign Android apps for inclusion on BlackBerry World, which takes some of the gloss off an otherwise impressive milestone.
It's an encouraging start for company, which still counts the BlackBerry Z10 as its only BB10 smartphone, but it will have to try to get the likes of Instagram, Netflix (both of which have declined to release an official app) and other major apps to launch on the platform if it wants to lure consumers away from iOS and Android

The Good and Bad Side of Air Travel Insurance


Many years ago, the necessities of life would have been just food, water, clothes, and shelter. But in today's modern times, the things that used to be called luxuries are now considered necessities. One good example is insurance. Before, insurance was considered a luxury because only the rich individuals can afford as it is quite expensive. But because of the market competition in the insurance industry, prices have gone down and now insurance policies are much more affordable, even air travel insurance.

The usual way of traveling abroad or to a distant place is through air, by plane. Whether you're traveling domestically or internationally, you will be protected if you have travel insurance. You will never know what's going to happen in your vacation or travel so it would be best to have yourself insured.

By securing air travel insurance, you can skip some of the usual hassles of traveling. For instance, trip delay, flight cancellation, lost luggage, car rental cancellation, hotel cancellation, emergency needs, medical needs, and death are usually covered by travel insurance.

If you need medical attention or you're in an emergency state before and during the flight, your insurance will cover it but anything that happens after the flight, it's all yours to shoulder. This may be one reason why some people don’t like to purchase air travel insurance. However, if you already have an existing insurance policy that covers your travel abroad, additional air travel insurance is a wise decision. 

There are some advantages of air travel insurance. You see, the policy is considered a short-range accidental death and life insurance. If a plane crash happens and your either maimed or killed in it, your family will be compensated for it. Usually, the coverage is about $100,000.

The air travel insurance policy is then terminated once you get off the plane. Remember that the insurance policy can be used only in commercial flights and not in private air travel. The policy must be purchased before you board the plane. The cheapest policy can be bought for $12 for each individual but there are also family rates available.

When purchasing an air travel insurance policy, you must not forget to read the fine print. You must understand it fully so that in the event of an accident, there will be no untoward incidents once you claim for the coverage. Traveling by air will be safer and relaxing with your insurance policy, so get one now.
