Bhudo Advani – The prolific character actor of the early days of Indian cinema
Born in Hyderabad Sindh as Daulatram Advani on Aug 17, 1905, he started his career as stage actor in Karachi and then moved to Bombay in early 1930s.
He was nicknamed in film industry as 'Bhudo Advani' for his toothless smile. He acted in more than a 100 movies and mostly did comic roles.
When he passed away on July 25, 1985, nobody from the film industry attended his funeral. Surprisingly, the news of his death first appeared in Pakistan in the Karachi newspapers and only later in the Times of India.

Bhudo Advani, the prolific character actor of the early days of Indian cinema, was born in Hyderabad in the province of Sindh. Born on 17 August 1905 with family name Daulatram Advani, he possessed keen interest in theatre and other performing arts right since childhood. Cinema with its theatrical origins and promise of glamour beckoned him early in life. Moving to Bombay, he met director Mohan Bhavnani, a fellow Sindhi, and struck up a friendship with him.
He was called in film industry as Bhudo Advani. There may be two reasons for his nickname 'Bhudo'. One is that he was called 'Buddu', which means one who is too simple; and the other one 'Buddho', meaning old, due to his lack of teeth, as he had always a toothless smile on the face.
He began as a stage actor in Karachi specializing in female roles during a time when it was not considered proper for Indian women to do so.
According to an Indian blogger nicknamed as 'Memsaab', one Mr. Ramesh Advani came to live in their building in 1992. He was a good looking, jovial person who soon became friendly with all members. Many years later, he told that he was the son of Bhudo Advani, the Hindi film actor. As a writer on old films, the blogger was keen to know from him about the yesteryear comedian Bhudo Advani.
"He graciously agreed to an interview and this is what he told me," Memsaab writes in her blog 'Memsaab Story.
"Bhudo Advani was doing all sorts of dramas, stage shows etc. from his teens. He specialized in doing female roles. After matriculation, he came to Bombay to seek roles in films. Here he met Mohan Bhavnani, a producer also from Hyderabad, who gave him a break. His first movie with a minor role was Afzal (1933). Finding that he was good at comedy, he henceforth mostly stuck to comic roles," Ramesh told.
From 1933 to 1940 he did 35 films. Notable among them were Jeevan Lata, Ladies Only, The Mill (Gareeb Pariwar), Navjeevan, Postman (Abhilasha), Vasavdatta etc. He got married in 1939. He had 7 children, 2 sons (one of whom died early) and 5 daughters. In Mumbai, he acquired a big flat on nominal rent at Tardeo in a building on the premises of Central Studios, the biggest studio in Bombay at the time with 6 stages in all. His flat was so big that the reception of one daughter's wedding for 100 people was thrown in its drawing room!
Director Mehboob used Central Studios for shootings (his studio came up only in 1942). Mehboob was allotted one makeup room for his artists on the same floor where Advani lived. Thus, he became acquainted with many leading actors and actresses.
He became Bhudo consequently in film credits and accepted this name stoically. From 1940 to 1950 he acted in another 35 films, including Anmol Ghadi, Anokhi Ada, Meri Kahani, Amaanat, Bisvi Sadi, Dukhiyaari, Ismat, Pooja, Shauhar etc. From 1950 to 1960 he did 20 films including Meena Bazar, Aadmi, Aakhri Dao, Boot Polish, Shri 420, Jagte Raho, Ab Dilli Door Nahin, Madhumati, Madhur Milan, Miss Coca Cola, Qaidi No.911, Aankhen, Bewafa Saudagar etc.
Bhudo Advani was a strict family man and kept his children away, warning them never to enter films. From 1960 onwards his films became fewer as new comedians entered the industry, and his financial condition became delicate. However his only son Ramesh Advani got into Dena Bank and after bank nationalization things improved considerably. All his daughters married well and settled happily. In the 60s he did only 5 films like Anuradha and Khamoshi. His last film was Satyajit Ray's Shatranj Ke Khiladi (1977).
He left the Tardeo flat and came to Versova in 1978. Now that there were no films, he used to sit in his brother's Coronation Footwear chain of shops at Grant Road for 6 years.
Bhudo Advani died peacefully at the age of 79 years 11 months 8 days on 25 July 1985. Advani was a very simple man and had a few friends, and fellow comedian Mirza Musharraf was among them. In his heyday, Bhudo Advani was in great demand. He averaged 3 films a month during the 1930s and 40s, a very high number; and was very friendly with Motilal, Devendra Goel, Shekhar, and Mukesh, who stayed with him in his early days. Nobody from the film industry attended his funeral. Surprisingly, the news of his death first appeared in Pakistan in the Karachi newspapers and only later in the Times of India.
In total, he acted in 102 Hindi, 4 Sindhi and 2 Gujarati films. He had a major role in Abana, India's first Sindhi film. In two of his Sindhi films, his own real-life wife portrayed his movie wife.
The Memsaab writes that in his wonderful book "Eena Meena Deeka: The Story of Hindi Film Comedy" author Sanjit Narwekar has this to say about Bhudo Advani:
Apart from Ranjit, Sagar was the other company in the early talkie era which specialized in comedies. One of the Sagar staples was Bhudo Advani, who endeared himself with the audience because of his toothless smile. Actually he was more of a character actor who found himself saddled with comic dialogues. He made his debut in films in 1933 with Mohan Bhavnani's Ajanta Cinetone, playing the main comedian in the fantasy Maya Jaal. None of his early films were notable, but he did get noticed by the Sagar bosses who invited him to join the company which was slowly gearing up for comedies.
The fact that he was an important addition to the repertoire is borne out by the fact that he starred in almost all their important films from the very start: Badami's Dr. Madhurika (1935), Mehboob's Deccan Queen (1936), Luhar's Do Diwane (1936). He soon became a Mehboob favorite and starred in all his Sagar films: Manmohan (1936), Jagirdar (1937), Hum, Tum Aur Woh (1938). So much so that he followed Mehboob to National Studios, which was formed after Sagar had collapsed. He is credited with having staged the first full length Sindhi play Under Secretary (with S.P. Menghani) in Bombay in the immediate post-Partition period.
List of some of Bhudo Advani's movies
Bhudo Advani's first screen appearance was in the 1933 film 'Afzal'. Several films followed in quick succession: 'Maya Jaal' (1933), 'Vasavadatta' (1934), 'Sair-e-Paristan' (1934), 'Dukhtare Hind' (1934), 'Dard-e-Dil' (1935), the Sarvottam Badami-directed, K.M. Munshi-scripted film 'Dr. Madhurika' (1935) and Mehboob Khan's early films, the action-packed 'Deccan Queen' (1936) and 'Jagirdar' (1937) and Ramchandra Thakur's musical hit 'Gramaphone Singer' (1938). Under Bhavnani's direction, he performed in the controversial 'The Mill/Mazdoor' (1934).
In the 1940s, he featured in some of the most significant Hindi films including 'BisviSadi' (1945), 'Yateem' (1945), 'AnmolGhadi' (1946), 'Anokhi Ada' (1948) and 'MeriKahani' (1948). The 1950s saw him in films such as 'Boot Polish' (1954) and in one of his most popular appearances as the compulsive gambler in 'Shree 420' (1955), before featuring in 'Ab Dilli Dur Nahin' (1957) and Bimal Roy's classic 'Madhumati'. He also featured in the first Sindhi-language film 'Abana' (1958) alongside Sheila Ramani and Sadhana.

CMYUK and the ultimate black b...
CMYUK and the ultimate black back digital textile
PONGS® factory, Germany.
It's the consummate all–rounder, ubiquitous in every configuration for events, entertainment, exhibitions and retail applications, and now DirectTex® Softimage Contrast is officially PONGS® top selling textile in the range.
Whether a wall covering, room divider or curtain, DirectTex® Softimage Contrast is held to be the best blackout product in the market courtesy of its many impressive attributes.
Exclusively sold in the UK and Ireland by CMYUK, the UK's largest independent supplier of wide format digital printers, cutters and materials, this product comes in rolls of 1550/2520/3100/3200/5050mm wide at lengths of 50/100m.
Compatible with all standard UV and sublimation inks, this high white, optimal flat textile achieves highest possible print results. The coated black reverse side is non-sticky and scratch-resistant offering total blockout, and it is a highly effective projection medium thanks to its innovative light scattering properties.
This pleasant-to-the-touch polyester fabric is produced under conventional, environmentally friendly standards and can be cut cold. It is foldable, crease-free and flame-retardant according to B-s1, d0 DIN EN 13501-1. The certificate Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX® guarantees tested, ecologically sound quality.
Unlike cheaper, inferior products on the market that have no sustainable supply chain or quality control parameters, PONGS® materials are manufactured in Germany and adhere to the strictest standards both in terms of product quality and environmental credentials.
PONGS® uses state-of-the-art energy and environmental technology to conserve resources, minimise the impact on the environment and produce climate-neutral products. Thanks to a fully biological wastewater treatment plant, ozone reactors, flotation and ultrafiltration, electrocoagulation, wastewater leaves the production cycle as cleanly as it enters. Exhaust air pollutants are filtered out with state-of-the-art air washers, neutralisation and activated carbon filters at a rate of 99.9%.
The PONGS® goal is to generate heat, compressed air and electricity completely, thanks to the latest block heating, compressed air heat and solar power plants. PONGS® power plants already generate 40% of its heating requirements, and have reduced the company's CO2 emissions by around 900 tonnes per year. Another solar power plant of approx. 600,000kw is already being planned. In order to use the energy for further processes, almost all machines and the compressed air thermal power plant are connected to heat recovery systems translating into energy savings of more than 300,000 litres of heating oil per annum.
PONGS® takes its responsibility to the planet very seriously, and to stay true to its green philosophy it invests in the latest and future-oriented process technologies. The majority of PONGS® textiles are labelled with the OEKO-TEX® label, and chemicals used in their finishing processes are REACH compliant. As a member of the Institute for Building and Environment, its construction products are also EPD certified according to DIN EN 15804, which verifies their sustainability. The company also attaches great importance to the quality and reliability of its suppliers, so for example, cardboard packaging for its products is 100 per cent recyclable.
Together with the world's most renowned research institutes, such as the Fraunhofer Gesellschaft, PONGS® is researching environmentally friendly, naturally degradable fibres and coatings. Today these are free of antimony halides, formaldehyde, bromine compounds and heavy metals, and because they are water-based, contain no solvents.
Says Michael Crook Commercial Director at CMYUK: "There are a number of inferior products that have been launched to market that make all sorts of claims, but PONGS® produce quality products manufactured with great respect to the environment and accompanied by correct certification. The company is constantly striving to pioneer products that meet the most stringent environmental parameters. It is acting consciously today to develop the best products of tomorrow."

Dick's Sporting Goods destroying unsold assault-style weapons
Dick's Sporting Goods is taking its ban on gun sales a step further.
It now says that instead of returning assault-style weapons to the manufacturer, it's destroying its inventory of those guns.
In February, Dick's announced it would stop selling assault-style rifles, after the massacre at Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida.
The company also said it would stop selling guns to anyone under the age of 21.


Viking's recently-published title The Power is set to be turned into a long-running, global television series by Sister Pictures, co-producers of ITV's "Broadchurch".
TV rights to Naomi Alderman's novel, published earlier this autumn by Mary Mount at Viking, were acquired by Jane Featherstone, founder of Sister Pictures, from Georgina Ruffhead at David Higham Associates after an 11-way auction.
The series will be written by Alderman and developed by Sister's Katie Carpenter. Jane Featherstone, Naomi de Pear and Naomi Alderman will executive produce the series.
The Power imagines a world where women gain the power to electrocute at will.
Alderman published three previous novels before The Power. She won the Orange Award for New Writers and the Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year Award. She is also the co-creator and lead writer of smartphone audio adventure app Zombies, Run! Rachel Weisz is set to produce and star in the upcoming film adaptation of Disobedience, Naomi's debut novel.
Alderman said: "I'm thrilled to be working with Jane Featherstone and Sister Pictures. Jane's track record, and her commitment to excellence in writing speak for themselves, and Sister Pictures' deep understanding of the book impressed me hugely. Readers of The Power are already asking me if there'll be a sequel - there won't be another novel (probably), but there are definitely so many more stories to tell than I had room for in the book. I can't wait to expand this story - and bring electric women to TV screens around the world."
Featherstone said: "Naomi is one of the boldest and most interesting authors of our time and we are beyond thrilled to be working with her as she adapts her own brilliant and compelling book for television. The Power is a story of our times, clever, funny, important and original, it asks us to consider a world where the shifting balances of power create a new and dangerous dynamic."

Q: How to validate a component path name in ColdFusion / Lucee this seems like a simple question but I couldn't find the answer.  If I have a component path "pathToComponent", how can I validate that it is valid?  Right now I am resorting to using try/catch, but surely there is a more elegant way?
boolean function isValidComponent( required string pathToComponent ){

    try{
        var metaData = getComponentMetaData( arguments.pathToComponent );
        return true;
    }
    catch( any e ){
        return false;
    }
}

Thanks!

A: If you want to test if the component path can be used to create a component, use:
boolean function isValidComponent( required string pathToComponent ) {

    try {

        createObject("component", ARGUMENTS.pathToComponent);
        return true;
    }
    catch(any) {
    }

    return false;
}

If you want to access the component physically, use:
string function getComponentLocation( required string pathToComponent ) {

    var normalizedPath  = replaceNoCase(ARGUMENTS.pathToComponent, ".", "/", "ALL");
    var resolvedPath    = expandPath(normalizedPath);
    var fileLocation    = (resolvedPath & ".cfc");

    return fileLocation;
}

Q: Simple Socks Proxy code? (Arduino + Ethernet module) For a new project, i had a strange idea of using an Arduino with a Wiznet W5100 Ethernet module for routing/proxying http data.
The module supports only 4 connections, and i am unsure if this will be enough;
The available space in arduino (flash/ram) is also of concern.
I can't seem to find any code for an ultra-simple socks4a proxy (c/c++/java/php) so that i can verify the hardware will meet the requirements.
Any linkage or pseudo-code may help.
Update:
Found a simple c++ implementation, and will study this.
I believe if just using CONNECT and not BIND, it should fit the requirements.

A: I found some concise SOCKS (version 5) proxy server code in C++ here.  It's one file.
Also, the TorCap2 proxifier code has SOCKS 4a code you can check out in DLL/TorCap2Dll.c which is fairly small and would be re-usable.

I was working on one of my ever-drawn-out projects -- A Rarity sketch I made three months ago -- when Cad'ika called me on Skype. Soon thereafter I had been screensharing with him and he saw me doing my vector work. Of course, he gave the usual recommendation that I should livestream my activities, but this time he challenged me to remake his current Skype profile picture too.
Well, it wasn't very hard. Well, actually the hardest parts were the eyes and keeping Cad interested in my screen. Still, -Wait a minute! I forgot to add eye gradients and highlights! Bah, I'll fix it eventually.
I know what you're thinking. why would we caption sweet little Sweetie Belle in such ways?
Well, I don't know. I was requested to do it.
Also, if you need something vectored, I'm accepting requests and commissions. Requests, I'll usually take longer to do, but they're free. Commissions will cost you money or some form of bartering, and I'll jump to work ASAP. You can message me on Deviantart for the best communication.

Celibacy syndrome
Celibacy syndrome (Japanese: セックスしない症候群, sekkusu shinai shōkōgun) is a media hypothesis proposing that a growing number of Japanese adults have lost interest in sexual activity and have also lost interest in romantic love, dating and marriage.[1] Following a report in The Guardian, the theory gained widespread attention in English media outlets in 2013,[2] and was subsequently refuted by several journalists and bloggers.[3][4][5]
Reports and causes
In addition to celibacy, the theory cites declining numbers of marriages and declining birthrates in Japan.[1] According to surveys conducted by the Japan Association for Sex Education, between 2011 and 2013, the number of female college students reporting to be virgins increased. Additionally, surveys conducted by the Japanese Family Planning Association (JFPA) indicated a high number of Japanese women who reported that they "were not interested in or despised sexual contact".[1] Meanwhile, surveys conducted by the National Institute of Population and Social Security Research in Japan in 2008 and 2013, revealed that the number of Japanese men and women reporting to not be in any kind of romantic relationship grew by 10%.[1][2]
The theory attributes two possible causes for these reports: the past two decades of economic stagnation as well as high gender inequality in Japan.[1]
Joshua Keating accused The Guardian and other media outlets of using "cherry-picked" data in order to make a sensational claim that appeals to Western notions of a "weird Japan".[3] Washington Post pointed to contrary statistics that indicate that Japanese youth are having sex more frequently than ever.[5]

Next Bond?
Former 007 actor George Lazenby thinks this fellow Australian actor should be the next Bond, more stars rumored to be in the running to play the British spy after Daniel Craig
By Jessica Wedemeyer 11:20am PST, Jan 9, 2023
It's the question on millions of minds: Who will be the next James Bond? Wonderwall.com rounded up all the actors who are rumored to be in the running now that Daniel Craig has officially put his 007 days behind him, starting with this actor…
Australian actor George Lazenby — who played James Bond after Sean Connery — told TMZ in January 2023 that he thinks fellow Aussie actor Liam Hemsworth should be the next 007. According to George, Liam is wholly qualified — he has the acting resume, the experience to deal with the media attention and scrutiny and the right nationality, as every Bond actor cast so far has lived in a country ruled by the British crown. Plus, George added, a "good-looking Aussie dude" like Liam simply fits the bill and is "crazy enough, arrogant enough, confident enough, ambitious enough to take on the role" after a Bond as beloved as Daniel Craig.

In January 2023, reports ramped up claiming Aaron Taylor-Johnson — the British actor who's starred in everything from "Kick-A**," "Nocturnal Animals" and "Godzilla" to "Avengers: Age of Ultron," "Tenet" and "Bullet Train" — was a frontrunner to replace Daniel Craig as James Bond. An insider claimed in a November 2022 report in the U.K. tabloid The Sun, "Aaron went for a screen test to be the next Bond in September and producers [including top boss] Barbara [Broccoli] loved him. He is now one of the front-runners." In its first newsletter of 2023, Puck journalist Matthew Belloni confirmed that Aaron was a favorite to play 007 but pointed out a possible roadblock. "While Taylor-Johnson fits the bill — great actor, British, fits the younger direction the Broccolis want to go, accomplished but not particularly famous — he's about to be a much bigger star," reads the newsletter. "If Sony's 'Spider-Man' spin-off 'Kraven the Hunter' or Universal's Ryan Gosling two-hander 'The Fall Guy' works, Taylor-Johnson might end up, ironically, too famous to take on Bond."

Fans of the hit Netflix show "Emily in Paris" know Lucien Laviscount as Alfie, the titular character's handsome and charming on-off British banker boyfriend. But according to a late December 2022 report from DailyMail.com, the English actor has caught the eye of another woman — producer Barbara Broccoli, the head of the James Bond film empire — and could soon replace Daniel Craig as 007. "Lucien ticks all of the boxes. He is a super-talented actor, is extremely handsome and in the past 18 months has won lots of new fans since he joined 'Emily In Paris.' Bond bosses are already saying how you can see him in the 007 tuxedo, how dapper and fitting to the role he will look," a source told DailyMail.com. "But there is a sticking point, and that is '[Celebrity] Big Brother.' Lucien appeared on the show [in 2011] at a time when his acting career was not as high-profile as it is now, but he was very popular then and has a fan base now which stretches generations. That is a dream for Barbara who is very taken with him."
MORE: Actors who rebranded as action stars
After Ryan Gosling starred as CIA agent Six in the 2022 action flick "The Gray Man" — which briefly references 007 — the comely Canadian's name started coming up in conversations about the next James Bond. The two-time Oscar nominee addressed the hubbub during a July 2022 interview with Sky News: "I'm not sure that they want a Canadian in that role. I'm not sure anyone's, you know, asking for that, I don't even think Canadians are asking for that, I don't think anyone wants that," he demurred. Well, we can certainly think of a few people who wouldn't mind: us!
For nearly a decade now, fans have clamored for Idris Elba to take over the iconic role of James Bond. In early 2022, Barbara Broccoli — who's worked as a producer on the last 11 Bond films — admitted that Idris has been "part of the conversation" when it comes to replacing Daniel Craig. But Idris, it seems, is ready to put the conversation behind him. The handsome Brit told Jemele Hill on her "Unbothered" podcast that he's done discussing the matter: "I just tell people, 'Aw, don't ask me that,'" he said. But not everyone thinks he's perfect for the part: Back in 2015, writer Anthony Horowitz — who was tapped by Ian Fleming's estate to pen three new Bond novels — made headlines when he told DailyMail.com that Idris is "a terrific actor" but "a bit too rough to play the part." The comment sparked a global debate over whether or not a Black actor should play Bond. (Why not?!) "I can think of other Black actors who would do it better. … It's not a color issue. I think he is probably a bit too 'street' for Bond. Is it a question of being suave? Yeah," said the novelist, who later apologized for his poor choice of words.
In the September 2022 issue of Men's Health, John Boyega made a playful quip about playing James Bond while admiring an Aston Martin with the license plate JB 007 at Motorcar Classics on Long Island, which he was visiting with the reporter to test drive a 1965 Corvette he purchased. "If they give me that call, I'll be there," the "Star Wars" franchise actor said of playing the famed British spy. Weeks later, the Brit shared his deeper thoughts on being a part of the Bond casting rumor mill. "When you're Black, I don't know how that goes. You as a white man grew up in a society as a white man and that's normal. That's normal to you. Even the mention of a Black Bond is like 'Oh, OK,'" he said on the "Happy Sad Confused" podcast, as reported by People magazine. John said he doesn't think producers will ultimately hire a Black actor for the iconic role. "I don't necessarily believe that," he explained, "but if that's what they're doing then that is very surprising to me."
In April 2022, Variety reported that the former Man of Steel, Henry Cavill, has been "whispered about in relation to the coveted role" of James Bond. The English actor — who actually auditioned for 2006's "Casino Royale" but ultimately lost the part to Daniel Craig — told GQ in 2020 that he "would absolutely jump at the opportunity" to play 007. "I would love to play Bond, it would be very, very exciting," he said.
Not long after Regé-Jean Page scored his big breakthrough with "Bridgerton," his name started popping up in conversations about the next James Bond. "If you're a Brit and you do something of any kind of renown that people regard well, then people start saying the 'B' word. It's like a merit badge — you get the 'B' word merit badge," he said during an early 2021 appearance on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," adding that he's "very, very glad to have the badge" and "to be in such wonderful company of people who have the badge." He clarified, however, that it's still just a badge and nothing more.
During a 2019 interview with Hits Radio, Harry Styles briefly addressed rumors he's in the running to play James Bond: "I grew up watching those [movies]. You know, I loved him when I was a kid. So I think it's kind of everyone's dream a little bit, right?" he said. The following year, The Sun reported that, according to a source, the singer was "deadly serious" about winning the part. "He has had a series of high-level meetings about becoming 007. Harry believes he is the final two," the source said. But Harry's rep soon told DailyMail.com that the rumors "aren't even remotely true."
During an interview with Esquire that debuted online in May 2022, filmmaker Danny Boyle — who was once tapped to direct the 25th James Bond movie, which eventually became 2021's "No Time to Die" — shared his favorite to become the next 007: "[Robert] Pattinson would be a great Bond," he said. A decade earlier, the "Twilight" actor told The Sun he'd "definitely like to go for Bond." We also would definitely like him to go for Bond!
Henry Golding just made his feature film debut in 2018's "Crazy Rich Asians," and the Malaysian-British actor is already in the running for the coveted role of James Bond. "It does seem to be a question that always comes," he said during an interview for the October 2020 issue of Attitude magazine. "It's an honor to even be in the conversation. It's one of the greatest film roles ever. You'd be stupid to be like, 'I don't want to do that s***.' F*** no, it would be the wildest ride," he continued after acknowledging that "everybody's fighting for a diverse Bond."
In April 2022, Variety reported that "Venom" star Tom Hardy has been "whispered about in relation to the coveted role" of James Bond. When asked to comment on the rumor in the summer of 2021, the English actor played coy, telling "Entertainment Tonight" simply, "I don't know about that."
If Bond producers decide to go with a much younger actor, Tom Holland would be more than happy to take on the part: "Ultimately, as a young British lad who loves cinema, I'd love to be James Bond. So, you know, I'm just putting that out there. I look pretty good in a suit," the star of the "Spider-Man" franchise told Variety in early 2021.
For years now, Tom Hiddleston's name has come up in conversations about the next James Bond. He sidestepped the matter during an early 2021 interview with Empire magazine: "What can I say that you don't already know? It's interesting in itself that I've suddenly become very aware of what I'm saying, is it not? Because there's something about what I'm saying that becomes the story. Not for you, but for the world outside. Whatever I say, I've found, generated more questions," said the "Loki" star.
Jamie Dornan's name has also come up in conversations about taking over the iconic role of James Bond: "It's fun and it's a cool thing to be in the mix for that sort of thing," the "Fifty Shades of Grey" actor told Esquire in early 2022. He added of the ever-expanding list of actors who are reportedly in the running, "I do think it's very transparent in terms of if you look at that list, there's not one person on that list who doesn't have some content at the moment that's doing well."
All the way back in 2011 — during a press conference for "X-Men: First Class" — Michael Fassbender addressed rumors he was in the running to take over the role of James Bond: "We'll see what happens. I'm very flattered that people are sort of making that link, but I don't know. We'll see," said the Irish-German two-time Oscar nominee. Five years later, he told British GQ, "I just love Bond. Doesn't everyone? I grew up with him. It's always a fun conversation to have. But Bond should be someone in their early 20s. … You would have thought I was out of the bookies by now. … Look at me! I look about 50! No, I think the franchise needs something new." He added at the time that Daniel Craig had done "such a cracking job in this age group."
At a press conference for "Rocketman" during the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, "Game of Thrones" and "Bodyguard" star Richard Madden said of odds he'll become the next James Bond, "It's very flattering to be involved in that conversation at all, but it's all just talk, and I'm sure next week it'll be someone different."
Back in 2019, Ian Fleming's great-niece made headlines when she told Hello! magazine she thought Cillian Murphy would "make an awesome" James Bond. He's been a fan favorite for the part ever since. In late 2019, however, the Irish "Peaky Blinders" actor told GQ of the casting rumors, "It seems to be a way of generating business for bookies. So someone who happens to be in a TV show and wears a tux occasionally in a TV show [becomes part of the conversation]. But having said all of that, it's incredibly flattering to be in that conversation." He then added that he thinks the next Bond "should be a woman." But that's another conversation entirely…
During an interview with The Digital Fix that hit the Internet in March 2022, "Outlander" star Sam Heughan said of persistent rumors he's in the running to play James Bond, "I'm not sure who started that rumor, but it's a nice one! I think all British actors, or any actor really, would love to play that part. It's no secret that I've talked about it, and that I auditioned for it years ago. But who knows, I have no idea. There's no truth to it at the moment." Bummer!
During an April 2021 interview with the Mirror, Luke Evans said he'd happily replace Daniel Craig as the next James Bond, though he acknowledged it wouldn't be an easy task: "It's a phenomenal job, a phenomenal franchise, an incredible role. I have to say though, it's a daunting task for any actor to play the role after Daniel Craig. No one knows what's happening. It's a very secretive process and it's a wonderful role. I would jump at the chance, as would many actors in my position, so we shall see. It will be an exciting casting moment for the Bond production and I wish whoever gets it the best of luck," said the Welsh "Beauty and the Beast" and "Fast & Furious 6" star.
In June 2022 — around the time Miles Teller started winning raves for his performance in "Top Gun: Maverick" — the former star of the "Divergent" franchise made headlines when his grandmother tweeted, "They're looking for an actor to replace Daniel Craig for future 007 movies. I think my grandson, Miles Teller, has proven that he has everything they're looking for — talent, looks, strength, worldwide appeal and oh, so cool. He can be that guy!! Wouldn't he be great?" A few weeks later, Miles told "Entertainment Tonight" of potentially playing James Bond, "Yeah. I mean, yeah perfect. I think we're actors, you know, so maybe you can mix it up a little bit."
In April 2022, Variety reported that "Euphoria" star Jacob Elordi has been "whispered about in relation to the coveted role" of James Bond. The Australian actor has yet to address the rumors.
During a June 2022 appearance on "Good Morning Britain," "Spectre" and "No Times to Die" actress Naomie Harris said that Chiwetel Ejiofor's "name is on the list of people to be the next Bond." The English actor certainly has the acting chops for the gig: He scored an Oscar nomination in 2014 for his performance in "12 Years a Slave."
If Bond producers are considering Damian Lewis, they're wasting their time. During an April 2020 interview with GQ, the English Emmy winner said of rumors he's in the running for the role, "I don't want to play James Bond anymore. If someone had asked me 10 years ago, that might have been a different matter. But I don't have that sort of ambition now. I don't want to go traveling off around the world for eight months of the year and play one character for the next 10 years. And I think I'd be the oldest new James Bond cast, maybe after Roger Moore. Or maybe even older than Roger Moore. So, you know, I don't think it's a problem. I don't think it's something I have to think about. … I think [the prospect] was quite exciting five years ago, maybe, when there was a bit of press and suddenly I was — along with, I think, one other actor — the 'favorite' to be James Bond. But that's not going to happen. That's gone. That's gone, without regret."
During an interview for the May 2022 issue of Vogue, "Dunkirk" actor Jack Lowden demurred when asked about rumors he's in the running to become the next James Bond: "It's going to take a long time to get [Daniel Craig] out of my head. Or anybody else's," said the Scottish "Slow Horses" star.
During a July 2021 interview with Yahoo! Movies, James Norton called having his name in the mix "a little bit bemusing." Said the "Little Women" and "The Nevers" actor of rumors he could play James Bond, "[They have] been going on for quite a long time now, so the novelty has worn off a bit. In the beginning, it was definitely quite bizarre and flattering. It's never going to be not flattering to have your name included in the same sentence as James Bond. If even one person can consider that as a possibility, then it's quite cool. But it's been a few years now, that speculation, and it continues and remains pure speculation. It is just clickbait, I promise you that. It's nothing. There's no truth to it."
During an early 2019 interview with The Times, David Oyelowo opened up about the prospect of playing James Bond: "The significance of someone like me playing a role like James Bond is not lost on me. It is going to be something that will expand horizons," said the Emmy-nominated English actor, adding that when he attended drama school in London, "the idea of a Black James Bond was so far removed from everyone's thinking." Said the "Selma" star, "We are talking about real progress. Society is beginning to tell the industries what they want to see." He also noted that he planned to discuss the possibility with Bond producer Barbara Broccoli.
During an early 2022 interview with Metro, "1917" star George MacKay said of rumors he's in the running to play James Bond, "It's an amazing thing, but it would also be a massive thing. I don't know if that's a reality, but if it ever became one, of course, it would be a consideration. But be a careful one. I played Daniel Craig's baby brother [in the 2008 film 'Defiance']. So maybe I could step into his shoes."
During a May 2018 interview with DailyMail.com, Aidan Turner teased of potentially becoming the next James Bond, "There's someone else playing the role at the moment but when it's free I'll have a look at it." We wonder how the Irish "Poldark" alum feels now that Daniel Craig has officially retired from the part…

Monitor Audio Radius HD Speaker system
Monitor Audio Radius HD Speaker system Review
By Danny Phillips March 30, 2009 2:00 am BST
Trusted Score
We've reviewed plenty of soundbars here at TrustedReviews, but the ones we've seen tend to be a substitute for a full 5.1-channel speaker system. But Monitor Audio has taken a different approach by launching a soundbar that's designed to be incorporated into a 5.1-channel speaker system.
The Radius One HD is Monitor Audio's first soundbar and it incorporates the left, right and centre channels into one sleek, compact cabinet, which not only cuts down on clutter but also allows you to mount it on the wall below a flatpanel TV (using the supplied bracket).
It's a sumptuous-looking unit, boasting a piano black lacquer finish and curved speaker grilles arranged in a pleasingly symmetrical layout. On the back of the unit are three separate pairs of high-quality binding posts for the left, right and centre channels.
You could quite easily use the soundbar on its own and enjoy a high-quality front soundstage, but for the proper home cinema experience you'll need to add rear channels, and that's where the Radius 45HD speakers come in. Measuring just 100 x 100 x 100mm, these gorgeous compact cubes are small enough to stick on the ceiling or wall (using the supplied mounts) or they can be perched on the bespoke Radius floor stands.
Of course, no home cinema system would be complete without a subwoofer, and handling this system's bass duties is the Radius 360 HD. Like the other components it's admirably compact, which is great news if you're keen to hide it away in a corner, but we don't think you'll want to as it's styled in the same elegant piano black lacquer finish as the other speakers. It's also fitted with silicon rubber feet that aim to reduce resonance, plus the back panel is covered in knobs and switches that give you a lot of control over the bass output.
You'll find volume and crossover frequency controls (the latter can be set from 40Hz up to 180Hz) plus a switch that flips the phase 180 degrees and another that lets you select between music or movie settings, which changes the sub's response accordingly. You'll also find stereo phono inputs, a power switch and a light that tells you when the sub's active.
It's worth pointing out that this isn't a one-box package – all of these speakers can all be bought separately and there's a wide range of other Radius HD models to choose from, all with different drivers and sound characteristics, so you can mix and match speakers to suit your needs. The models selected here are all designed to complement each other in terms of crossover and voicing. Although our samples feature the piano black lacquer finish, they're all available in silver and piano white lacquers, while the 45HDs and 360HDs additionally come in Walnut and 'Rosemah' real wood veneers.
And now here's the science bit. Inside the soundbar, each of the three channels has a dedicated braced compartment and individually specified crossovers. The centre channel boasts twin 4in Metal Matrix Polymer (MMP) II mid/bass drivers and a 1in Ceramic-Coated Aluminium Magnesium (C-CAM) gold dome tweeter, while the left and right channels house single 4in MMP II drivers with a 1in C-CAM tweeter – all magnetically shielded and arranged in the D'Appollito layout to aid dispersion.
These newly-developed MMP drivers are designed to offer higher sensitivity, improved linearity and low distortion, while the new C-CAM tweeters achieve frequency extension of over 35kHz, which means detailed Dolby True HD and DTS HD Master Audio soundtracks should be in safe hands. The unit also features an Anti-Resonance Composite front baffle, which provides the necessary structural rigidity and vibration damping, while the PTC auto-reset protection circuit kicks in when the speakers are over driven to prevent any damage being done.
As for the R45HDs, they feature the same PTC circuit as the One HD and are equipped with a 3in mid-bass driver and rear-firing 3/4in gold dome tweeter, while the 360 HD sub features a downward firing 8in driver and musters up to 100W of pure bass muscle.
The net result of all this impressive audio tech is that the Radius HD system can deliver fantastic sound quality. We started our audition with a range of CDs and with stereo material the One HD proves to be an adept and versatile musical performer, equally at home with the fast-paced pounding rock of U2's "Get On Your Boots" and the energetic jazz noodling of George Benson's "Breezin".
Corinne Bailey Rae's mellifluous voice on her version of "Since I've Been Loving You" also sounds sublime, proving that these speakers aren't scared to show their sensitive side when it comes to the more delicate stuff. They offer a highly detailed sound with terrific timing and loads of emotion, plus there are no ill effects from the front trio living in such close quarters – the sound is clean and free from distortion.
The system also delivers the goods with movies, giving an electrifying performance with "I Am Legend's" Dolby True HD track. As a whole, the Radius HD system is slick and cohesive, moving up and down the sonic frequency range like a Formula One car moves through gears – the sub steps in for beefy bass effects but never outstays its welcome, while high-frequencies are smooth and easy on the ears.
The gentle ambience during shots of the deserted New York streets is meticulously presented, with the R45's superb top-end response conveying the sounds of chirping birds and swirling wind with effortless precision and sharpness.
But when Will Smith shatters the silence by bombing round in his car, all six channels snap into life, injecting the roar of the engine and clatter of escaping deer with aggression and intensity, and delivering the jump-out-your-seat jolts with real bite.
Later scenes demonstrate the system's other virtues – Smith's voice is smooth and velvety with a rich, full bodied tone, and the system's open, expansive soundstage perfectly conveys the sense of eerie tension as he searches for his dog inside the pitch-black building – a scene that culminates in a fantastically crisp and forceful crash as Smith bursts through the window.
The only flaw lies with the subwoofer, which is much better suited to music than movies. We love its ability to serve up deep, well-integrated bass tones with admirable dexterity, but we can't help feeling that it's a little too gentle and laid back during some of the above action scenes. You need to turn the dial up quite high to make its presence felt, and even then bass isn't quite as up-front as we'd hoped.
Although the combined price of this Radius HD system makes it seem quite expensive, rest assured that the refined sound quality it delivers makes it worth the money. The only caveat surrounds the subwoofer – if you like your movie bass to be big and beefy, you might want to opt for something a little more aggressive.

2016 NCAA Tournament Preview: South Dakota State Jackrabbits
By Brian Rauf March 8, 2016
South Dakota State made the NCAA Tournament for the third time in five years after winning the Summit League Tournament, but can they get a win in the Big Dance for the first time in school history? Here's everything you need to know about the Jackrabbits:
Record - 26-7 (12-4 in Summit)
RPI - 37
Strength of Schedule - 155
Starting Lineup:
G George Marshall (Sr.) – 15.0 ppg, 3.5 rpg
G Deondre Parks (Sr.) – 14.7 ppg, 4.6 rpg
G Jake Bittle (Sr.) – 8.9 ppg, 4.8 rpg
G Reed Tellinghuisen (So.) – 9.1 ppg, 5.0 rpg
F Ian Theisen (So.) – 6.2 ppg, 3.6 rpg
Key Player:
Mike Daum
Daum is South Dakota State's sixth man, but he's arguably the player that's the most important to their success. He leads the Jackrabbits in points (15.1) and rebounds (6.0) as a 6'9" forward despite playing just over 20 minutes per game. Daum also gives them some strength in the middle (245 lbs), something they'll need against the bigger teams they'll face in the tournament.
Biggest Strength:
Offensive balance
The Jackrabbits really make their money in the post, but they have the ability to hurt you from anywhere on the court. They shoot over 45 percent from the field and nearly 36 percent from three-point range, both of which are very respectable. As a result, they average 76.6 points per game.
Biggest Weakness:
Ball Movement
South Dakota State's offense doesn't have much motion and is predicated on singular post-ups and one-on-one action. Because of that, they rank 306th in the country in assists, and that lack of ball movement makes them easier to defend.
South Dakota State doesn't have the kind of overall firepower to really pose a threat to the top teams in the country. Since they don't have one thing they can rely on, they'll be easily outclassed in the first round.

Perth Zoo attracts record number of visitors
More West Australians seeking wildlife encounters
Perth Zoo has welcomed a record number of visitors through its gates with West Australians flocking to this top attraction.
Environment Minister Albert Jacob said the zoo had recorded its highest annual attendance on record, welcoming 695,091 people in 2015-16, an 8.2 per cent increase over the previous year.
West Australians make up most of the zoo's attendance with 76 per cent of visitors from metropolitan Perth and another 10 per cent from regional areas.
Mr Jacob said he was pleased with the growth in numbers because there was huge competition for the family dollar and the attention of children.
"Perth Zoo has always had a special place in the hearts of the Western Australian community, but this year thanks to new events and behind the scenes opportunities to get up close and learn more about wildlife, we've seen a surge in visitors," he said.
"The Zoorassic Park dinosaur exhibition, which recently wound up, was also a popular experience. It met the goal to educate people about the threat of species extinction while delivering a great day at the zoo. It contributed to visitation numbers increasing by 25 per cent over the same period last year.
"This is consistent with tourism research which shows more West Australians are taking domestic holidays and making more visits to local attractions. Perth Zoo shows it is still a great destination for a family day out."
The zoo is preparing for the school holidays with spring planting activities, the emergence of wallaby joeys, the birth of critically endangered ring-tailed lemurs and opportunities to get up close to rhinos, giraffes, elephants and native Western Australian species during daily encounters.
During the school holidays from September 24, 2016 to October 9, 2016, visitors can use a free park and ride service from 10am to 5pm. Free parking is available on Lamb Street, South Perth, with a shuttle bus running every 15 minutes between Lamb Street and Perth Zoo.
Market research has ranked the zoo as the number one paid attraction for people considering a day out in Perth
Feedback has shown that 97% of Western Australian visitors were extremely satisfied with their visit to the zoo

Q: What was your first job before you became a mortgage broker?
A: I am a chartered accountant, so my first job was after uni when I worked in an accounting firm in WA. From there I spent five or six years working in London and Sydney in various project-type roles at major banks, before I ended up living and working on the Gold Coast as a mortgage broker.
Q: How and why did you make the pivot from accounting to mortgage broking?
A: I was working as an accountant when I relocated to Queensland in 2000, and one of my colleagues referred me to a Mortgage Choice broker when I was looking to buy an investment property. I'd never heard of a mortgage broker before, and after going through the process I said to my wife, "That's a business I want to be in..."
Q: If you weren't a mortgage broker, what would your ideal career be?
A: It's hard to say where I would be if I wasn't a broker, given that I've been a broker for almost 18 years. I'd probably be in some sort of corporate role, hopefully in some form of sports administration.
Q: What has surprised you most during your career in finance?
A: The amount of change. When I think back to my first years in broking – I started out in 2002/2003 – we were using dial-up internet and faxing our loan applications off. We were using an Excel spreadsheet for a CRM. Then I look at where we are now, with full paperless applications right through to 'DocuSigned' loan docs and mortgages. We're not quite there in Queensland, but I did one for a NSW purchase recently. And let's not even mention the regulatory changes in that time!
Q: Do you think everyday borrowers are becoming more aware of brokers and the value they can add?
A: I think most people are quite well educated on how brokers work, but there is less awareness of the impact that early loan closures can have on our businesses, with clawbacks going out as far as two years. It's one of the reasons why we prefer the client to always come back to us first, to see if we can assist them in restructuring their current loan before they opt for a refinance.
Q: What's one positive change or innovation you believe will come out of the COVID-19 pandemic?
A: Hopefully lenders and regulators will be more open to a complete digital and paperless process from start to finish, including the COVID-19 relaxations for client meetings via video conferencing, etc.
Q: If you could change anything about the broking industry, what would it be?
A: I'd like to see more accountability from lenders around their service levels and other behaviour that directly affects us and the service we provide to borrowers; also, a more equitable policy on clawbacks when the reason for the loan closure is no fault of the broker.

Q: Invalid literal for int() with base 10: ' when getting object's id I am trying to get exact object ("Tweet"), because I want to use it's info. Here it is how:
Template:
{% for tweet in tweets %}
    {{tweet.text}} - {{tweet.date}}
    <form action="#" method="get">
        <input type="submit" class="" value="Favourite" name="favourite">
        <input type="hidden" name="idtweet" id="{{tweet.id}}">
    </form>
{% endfor %}

Views:
if request.GET.get('favourite'):
        tweet_id = request.GET['idtweet']
        tweet_object = Tweet.objects.get(id=tweet_id)

However, I get this error: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''

A: You haven't given the idtweet input a value: you're putting the value into the id attribute, for some reason, instead of the value attribute.
Note however that favouriting, since it modifies data, should be a POST, not a GET.

A: Following Daniel's answer, what's happen in Django internal is :
 >>> int('')
 ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''

I suggest you to use:

*

*request.GET.get('idtweet', 0), for get bad ID if inexistent

*get_object_or_404 for clean filtering

Or a Django form for simply validate forms.

Glenn Healy wants Twitter to sober up and/or shut up?
Aside from playing Eli Thompson on HBO Boardwalk Empire, Glenn Healy makes a living by disliking pretty much everything.
One of these two is a short-tempered curmudgeon who loathes his colleagues and despises successful people. The other is a character on a TV series.
If you ever hear a customer reprimanding a waiter for giving a "serviette" instead of a "ma'amviette" to a female diner, you've probably found Hockey Night in Canada's post-show pub. (Please send me directions!)
When not accusing his electric toothbrush of having no heart or hustle in its game, Healy often incenses hockey fans by finding fault with anything even tangentially related to the sport. It seems that people stopped getting upset with Healy recently. How else could we explain his decision to instigate a fight with Twitter in general?
Healy begins his tirade by proclaiming that he never had and never will use Twitter. This news caused many sports fans to celebrate like the Ewoks after the second Deathstar was destroyed.
I haven't been able to identify the people in this gif yet, but I believe James Duthie and Bob "Bobo" McKenzie are dancing at centre.
After making this boast, Healy gets defensive. "Some of my colleagues may criticize me, but they don't watch the games anymore. They just read the tweets about them."
As my partner, Heather, pointed out, Healy seems to be taking a swipe at TSN with these comments. Maybe Healy was thinking of a certain TSN broadcaster who was too busy blocking people who called him out about his ignorance "My Little Pony" to cover the game one night.
Whatever the reason, Healy has decided to scorn Twitter. Instead of tweeting, Healy will type up his maddening musings in a new feature called "140 Words."
In announcing his new feature, Healy offers the following gem of a quote: "The truth is, before you are allowed to tweet you should have to take a breathalyzer test."
Fun fact: if you so much as bring a breathalyzer into a hockey game, it will malfunction in such a way that gives the device artificial intelligence and the desire for US citizenship.
BTW, that was a reference to the Short Circuit franchise, which basically a g-rated version of Robocop.
Why did Healy go out of his way to point out the pink elephant in the room, and then blame us for Dumbo's drunkenness?
The average tweep, according to Glenn Healy.
Healy then tells us that he will only discuss the "road to the Stanley Cup" in this feature. He promises, "I'm not going to bore you by telling you where I am or what I'm eating." Of course, many hockey fans would be impressed if Healy could pinpoint his location (at any given time) within the right hemisphere.As for eating, we all know that his traditional Saturday night dinner includes
Finally, Healy ends with an ultimatum of sorts. He says, "Enjoy the 140 words. If you don't like them, tweet that to all of your friends. #dontwastemytime"
I'm surprised by these comments because I thought that Healy's whole shtick was getting a rise out of fans. By offering horrendous criticisms that embroil him in controversy, Healy garners attention for HNIC, right?
Apparently I was wrong That mistake makes me wonder if Healy has been genuinely surprised by fan reactions to his "coverage" of hockey. Is he making a conscious effort to speak only the things that he thinks are appropriate to say on air? If so, does Healy have material that he keeps to himself because he feels that it's too incendiary for TV?
I won't get into any musings on what dark thoughts might dwell behind Healy's brow of furrowed fury. Such material is best left for Stephen King and other horror writers.
Anyway, the gist of Healy's conclusion is that he doesn't want to hear any negative responses to what he says.
So, sit back; read Healy's "140 Words"; and shut your whine-hole.

England Rugby Union Team
How to watch England v France on Amazon Prime for free on your TV
England v France rounds of the Autumn Nations Cup, when Amazon Prime Video complete their coverage of their tournament. You can still get a free trial ahead of kick-off
Tom ColemanSports Writer
England and France meet in the final of the Autumn Nations Cup on Sunday afternoon, with each side hoping to become the winners of the first edition of the eight-team tournament.
The final game of the tournament is set to be a compelling affair, with both sides heading into this clash on the back of a strong run of form - even if France won't be fielding their strongest side due to an agreement with Top 14 clubs to pick players up to three times.
The finale will also mark Amazon Prime Video's completion of its coverage of the tournament, having secured the rights to show 14 of its 16 games.
We've put together this guide for you on how to get it, not pay and make sure it's available through your TV.
How can I get Amazon Prime Video for free?
A subscription to Amazon Prime Video will cost you £7.99 per month or £79 for the year, but fans can take advantage of an introductory offer where yu'll be able to watch the action for free (as well as catch up on previous matches of the tournament).
You can sign up for a free trial here and you won't have to pay. However, you must cancel your trial membership before the 30 days is up or you will start paying. Viewers should be able to get a free trial once every 12 months.
You can also just get an Amazon Prime Video subscription for £5.99 per month, without the other Prime benefits.
How can I watch Amazon Prime Video through my TV, with or without a smart TV?
Amazon Prime Video is a streaming service, and that means your television will need an internet connection in order to work.
If you have a smart TV, you can download apps to it and use them to connect to the internet.

We can assist you with Life Insurance Approval with Parkinson's Disease!
Finding an affordable life insurance policy with Parkinson's Disease can be quite the challenge.
Can I Qualify for Life Insurance if I have Parkinson's Disease?
Yes, most individuals with Parkinson's Disease will be able to qualify for traditional life insurance, the type of insurance which requires a medical exam.
Best Case Scenario – Most cases of Parkinson's Disease that are non-progressive, meaning symptoms of muscle rigidity, spasms or walking problems are controlled may get the best rating at "Standard" health class. Click here for quote at "Standard".
Moderate Case – Those cases with moderate symptoms of rest tremors or slowness of movement (bradykinesia) may still qualify for a "Medium Substandard" rating. These cases, however, must prove that there are no other complications such as mental or sensory disturbances. Click here for a quote at "Medium Substandard".
Severe Case – Other cases that present severe symptoms of rigidity, rest tremors and slowness of movement, plus involvement of the cognitive, behavioral or psychiatric faculties will get an automatic decline.
How many years have you been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease?
Parkinson's Disease usually affects people after the age of 50, and for those whose conditions were diagnosed early may get a good chance of control of the disease and its progression. These cases may qualify for a "Standard" rating.
Have you noticed any changes in your symptoms within the last six months?
Changes or worsening of symptoms of rest tremors, rigidity or slowness of movement may be signs of disease progression and may get you a "Medium Substandard" rating or in worst cases a decline.
Are you taking any maintenance medications?
There is no cure for Parkinson's Disease, but there are medications that help in the control of symptoms like Levodopa and Dopamine antagonists. Regular intake will show control of said symptoms and may qualify you for a "Medium Substandard" rating.
Regular visits to your doctor may mean that your condition is controlled and life insurance companies may see this as a good sign that may earn you a "Standard" or "Medium Substandard" rating.
Do you have a family history of Parkinson's Disease?
This is very important to establish because the prognosis of a relative's condition especially that of an immediate kin will give a basis for the probability of your disease progression. This, however, will not be used as a direct basis, because physical and neurological examination will determine the most appropriate rating for you.
Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a progressive, neurodegenerative condition of the central nervous system. Clinically, it is described as a movement disorder, which is the result of a decrease in dopamine levels in the region of the basal ganglia (midbrain) due to degenerative cell death.
The three cardinal signs of Parkinson's Disease at any stage include rigidity, rest tremors and slowness of movement (bradykinesia).
Other symptoms early on the disease include difficulty in walking, gait disorders, shaking and flexed posture. In its progressive stage, there may also be signs of mental, behavioral, emotional, sensory or psychiatric disorders.
Other non-motor symptoms in advanced stage of PD include anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, pain, loss of smell (anosmia), and other sensory abnormalities.
