Recently, a federal district court dismissed a hospital's complaint against an ERISA plan administrator as inadequately pled and outlined the minimum degree of specificity required in similar cases. In Polk Med. Ctr., Inc. v. Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Ga., Inc., the plaintiff hospital alleged that the defendant administrator was employing various tactics to obstruct and/or reduce reimbursements for emergency treatment, such as refusing to honor assignments of benefits and refusing to pay claims based on supposed past overpayments. Among its claims, the plaintiff asserted claims for ERISA benefits.
To clarify the pleading standard, the district court noted that successful complaints "provide[d] a specific number of ERISA and non-ERISA claims" and an attached list "providing details of [the] claims." The court acknowledged that a plaintiff "may not be required to plead the specific terms of every [ERISA] plan," but required that the defendant be able to "ascertain" the plan involved. Both of the successful complaints discussed by the court included exhibits with claim-specific information, such as the date of service or submission. The district court rejected "judicial economy" as a justification for a lack of specificity.
The district court's refusal to lower the pleading standard will no doubt encourage future plaintiffs to specify the ERISA plans and claims involved in their complaints. While requiring more effort initially, the additional information may well improve judicial economy overall by providing more of a basis for settlement discussions and allowing for more targeted discovery.

Whenever you run into an old friend that you have not seen in several years, the first thing you may notice is that he or she looks much older. This may cause you to think about how much older you look as well. When you realize that you do not look as young as you once did, you may also start to think about ways to recover that youthful look. Before deciding on a treatment method like IPL therapy, some understanding of what causes an aged appearance can be helpful.
As you age, your skin does not produce collagen at the same rate it did in the past. Since collagen helps to keep the skin tight, the lack of it will result in loose skin that starts to sag. This will naturally lead to the formation of lines and wrinkles, which are among the most obvious signs of aging.
Another common sign of aging is the presence of dark spots that are scattered throughout the skin. These spots are typically the result of too much exposure to the sun's UV rays over time. The skin has a way of protecting itself against damage from these rays. It produces additional melanin. This is the substance that gives the skin its pigment. When more of it is produced, the skin becomes darker from the process of tanning. While a deep tan is usually seen as desirable, the process of getting a tan over and over through the years can lead to melanin that permanently concentrates in spots throughout the skin. These dark spots are actually pockets of concentrated melanin.
Whether you are looking for a way to reduce lines and wrinkles or remove the age spots, intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy may be what you need. It is done when intensified light pulses are focused onto the skin from a special unit that is passed across the skin's surface. The heat from the light becomes therapeutic. It can stimulate the skin to produce collagen in levels that return it to its former level of tightness and fullness. As a result, the lines and wrinkles will disappear.
IPL therapy can also help to get rid of those age spots that you don't like seeing. In response to the controlled energy from the treatment, the concentrated melanin will begin to break up. The spots will remove themselves over the following days.
IPL therapy at Grossman Dermatology is non-invasive and is an outpatient procedure. After the treatment, you can return to your normal activities. During a consultation at our office in Santa Monica or New York City, our specialist can also give you more details regarding how the treatment can benefit you.

"In Laredo, a bus brigade is vaccinating Mexican citizens with COVID-19 shots that Texans aren't using" was first published by The Texas Tribune, a nonprofit, nonpartisan media organization that informs Texans — and engages with them — about public policy, politics, government and statewide issues.
The COVID-19 vaccine shot that went into Nohemi Lima Eusebio's arm as she sat on a dusty yellow school bus at the U.S. border checkpoint in Laredo was just days away from going in the trash in Dallas.
The dose had been in a batch earmarked for Texas residents, but it was about to expire at a clinic nearly 500 miles away because nobody used it.
Instead, it turned out to be a potential lifesaver for Lima Eusebio, a 44-year-old single mom whose job in the close quarters of a factory across the border in Nuevo Laredo put her at risk for the virus and made her fear for the safety of her loved ones.
"I was worried a lot because my elderly mom lived with me, and I was worried that going to work was a risk of contracting the virus, and I would infect my mom and my [15-year-old] daughter," she said.

Getting a shot in her hometown — where persistently high demand and low supply meant long lines at places that had vaccines — took hours and made her miss too much work.
That's how Lima Eusebio wound up in a secure area of the Gateway to the Americas International Bridge on a cloudy weekday morning earlier this month, sitting on the bus with her sleeve rolled up, surrounded by her factory coworkers.
As the bus idled on the Laredo side of the bridge, Mexican and U.S. health care workers traipsed down the aisle carrying vaccine doses stacked in buckets hanging around their necks — the kind that children use to sell gum to tourists on the corners near the mercado in downtown Nuevo Laredo.
They injected Lima Eusebio, signed her vaccine card and then the bus turned around and took them all back into Mexico.
The dose Lima Eusebio received, flown down on a private plane piloted by the attorney son of Laredo's local top health official, was among nearly 200,000 that have been administered to Nuevo Laredo residents since last summer — part of a unique binational vaccination program that's credited with bringing up vaccine rates and fighting the virus on both sides of the Rio Grande.
"This is a very essential humanitarian effort because, in order to get herd immunity in our area, we need to make sure everybody's vaccinated to avoid variants and to avoid cross-border transmission," said Victor Treviño Jr., who oversees the program and whose father, Dr. Victor D. Treviño, is the Laredo Health Authority.

Launched last June as the state grappled with both a rising wave of deaths related to the delta variant and a sharp drop in demand for the vaccine in Texas and nationally, the cross-border vaccination program aimed to address a dismally low vaccine rate — an estimated 7% at the time — in Nuevo Laredo that was creating problems in highly vaccinated Laredo, which was reporting 10 times that vaccination rate, among the highest in the state.
It was also a good way, organizers said, to use up doses that had suddenly become a surplus in the U.S., where nearly 50% of the population were fully vaccinated by the time the Laredo program was up and running.
Meanwhile, Mexico's early vaccine rollout was painfully slow because the country's government had prioritized people in rural areas where social distancing was easier. The rollout was also hampered by logistical issues, with some people reportedly waiting in line for up to 12 hours for their first dose. By the time the cross-border vaccination program launched in June, Mexico was reporting only a 10% vaccination rate.

About 10 months after its launch, the program is still giving about 2,000 doses per day, Treviño Jr. said — which means the buses going back and forth across the bridge represent roughly 10% of the total doses being administered across Texas on a daily basis.
Nuevo Laredo, which has nearly half a million residents, has seen its vaccination rate soar to about 50% now, by most estimates — still far below Laredo's 96.5% rate but seven times more than when the program began.
"It's now one of the most highly vaccinated cities in Mexico," Treviño Jr. said.
Shots arrive by car, plane and 18-wheeler
The doses used by the Laredo program are donated by providers like doctors, hospitals and pharmacies who would rather give away their excess supplies than throw them out, the senior Treviño said.
They're picked up by car, plane and truck — any secure way they can find, organizers said.
"Sometimes there are 18-wheelers that are coming from other states passing through Dallas or San Antonio or somewhere, and we coordinate with trucking companies and if they can pick them up, they do that," Treviño Sr. said. "So it's quite a show. But it's worth the effort."
A provider that donated nearly 20,000 doses this week had initially "tried to give them back to the state because they said demand completely stopped," said Treviño Jr., who frequently picks up the doses in his plane or car. "But they said to use them or transfer them."

The state stopped warehousing doses months ago after supplies exceeded the demand, so providers now order them directly from the federal government, which purchases them and allocates them at no cost to the providers.
"It's a bedrock public health principle that reducing an infectious disease on one side of a border will help reduce that disease on the other side, especially when there is a lot of cross-border traffic," said Chris Van Deusen, spokesperson for the Texas Department of State Health Services.
Texas health officials say the state is not directly involved in the program, other than to track the doses donated by Texas providers to the binational effort. But they say that addressing the virus on both sides of the border is an effective approach for this vibrant and close-knit border community.
The program is slated to continue at least through April, when it will be reevaluated to see if it's still needed.
A look at the numbers shows that there's still very much a demand: Last week, Treviño Jr. said he picked up 10,000 doses in his car from a provider in San Antonio. This week, he'll be picking up 17,000 more.

A spin class sparks a solution
Laredo and Nuevo Laredo have been linked for the better part of two centuries, their downtowns separated by only a narrow slice of river.
"It's one city. It just happens to be in two countries," said state Rep. Richard Peña Raymond, a Laredo Democrat and early proponent of the program.
Adults and children in Nuevo Laredo often go to work and school every day in Laredo, and a large number of Laredoans have family on the other side of the river. Traveling back and forth for shopping, medical care and celebrations is the norm.
"We work hand in hand, and we feel like we have the same purposes because we cross the bridge daily," said Estefania Araiza, a Nuevo Laredo nurse who administers doses on the bus for the program.
Last summer, Treviño Sr. was disturbed by the vaccination numbers.
Laredo had one of the highest vaccination rates in the state, but the hospitals were still getting patients every day who were close to death, many of them Nuevo Laredo residents. Treviño, who is also a family doctor, said he had patients from Nuevo Laredo whose family members weren't yet vaccinated. Doctors and nurses across the river were dying at an alarming rate, he said, because they couldn't get vaccinated.
Treviño knew that there was no way to truly protect both cities unless both sides of the border were highly vaccinated.

One day in late May, Treviño's son was brainstorming the problem with a friend while they pedaled side by side in a spin class at a Laredo gym.
They talked about collecting expiring doses and delivering them to Nuevo Laredo, but that idea came with a raft of logistical issues, the biggest of which was that the U.S. government had no authorized program to donate those doses.
And even if the U.S. government approved cross-border donations, the doses would likely end up mired in the same kinds of logistical problems that were bogging down Mexico's vaccination effort.
"It was almost impossible to get a shot" in Mexico at the time, recalled Araiza, the nurse who helps administer the vaccine on the buses.
Treviño Jr. and his friend discussed administering the shots to Mexican citizens in Laredo, but dismissed the idea because at the time, the bridge was closed to all but essential workers from Nuevo Laredo.
"What if we vaccinate them on the bridge?" Treviño Jr. suggested. That way, people who did not have essential worker status wouldn't technically be entering the U.S. as long as the buses didn't leave the secured checkpoint area, which would work as long as border officials agreed to the plan.
The friend was enthusiastic and, while they pedaled in the spin class, placed a call to Carmen Lilia Canturosas, a relative who was running for mayor of Nuevo Laredo at the time — she won the election a few weeks later.
She used her connections to get the program rolling — her father and brother were both former mayors, "so she knew everyone," Treviño Jr. said.
After winning her election, Canturosas called the Mexican Consulate in Laredo, who reached out to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which runs the checkpoints on the U.S. side of border bridges. CBP officials agreed to let them vaccinate people in the secure area of the bridge only if the Nuevo Laredo residents stayed on the buses.

A few weeks later, the factory workers and their families arrived at the bridge on factory-owned school buses for shots. Trevino's father, meanwhile, reached out to a prominent doctor's association in Nuevo Laredo and began getting groups of front-line health workers vaccinated on buses owned by hospitals. Modern buses owned by Mexican bus lines soon joined the effort as more people signed up for shots.
Then in November, the international bridges reopened to all visitors on the U.S.-Mexico border just in time for the Christmas holiday, and popularity of the program exploded, Treviño Jr. said.
For Fabiola Escobar, a 32-year-old factory worker, getting the opportunity to get her booster shot on the bus with her coworkers rather than miss another day of work trying to get one in Nuevo Laredo was a game changer.
She can be less fearful, she said. And she can start getting back to normal life.
"When the pandemic first started, we were all worried we'd get sick and for it to get more serious," Escobar said. "But now that we have our boosters, I feel like we can be less worried and work more comfortably."
In late November, Nuevo Laredo city officials honored the senior Treviño's efforts to vaccinate their residents, which included several programs in addition to the buses, by awarding him the keys to their city in a unanimous decision.
"It is a monumental effort we're doing," Treviño Sr. said. "And hopefully it'll go down in history."

Toasters, and the legendary Skatalites.
The show started at 1:00 on Sunday, May 30. It was a benefit for Tommy McCook, one of the original members of the Skatalites who died recently. We got there around 2:00. Because we arrived so late, we totally missed Dion Knibb and the Agitators. At least I got to see the second half of the Bluebeats. Steve Prisco, the lead singer/guitarist, had great energy and charisma. Two rows of people in the front and one guy in the back were the only people skanking. I suppose it was a little too early in the show to get in the mood. Their set ended about 5 songs later. I got back into the crowd early so I could get a good spot. It took them about twenty minutes to setup, but it was more than worth the wait. The New York Ska-Jazz Ensemble is a ska-jazz band composed of members of the Toasters, Scofflaws, and the Skatalites. This time, when they played, everyone in the crowd skanked. Most of the stuff they played was from their self-titled album. They played for about 45 minutes and I skanked to every second of it. Their set ended in an encore, with their world famous �Haitian fight song�. I went to check on my aunt again. She said it was kinda loud. The Toasters took their time setting up. I could have sworn it took a half an hour. After the long wait, they finally started. I was a good three rows back, but I think I shifted back 3 more during the set. I forget what they opened with, but I think �2-Tone Army� was the 2nd song. Most of the songs they played were from their albums �Hard Band for Dead� and �D.L.T.B.G.Y.D.�, but they also played other songs like �Thrill Me Up� and �East Side Beat�. They ended after 45 minutes . We all screamed �Encore!�, but the whole band looked beat. Unfortunately, I had to catch the bus back to Easton, so I missed the Skatalites. It was a real drag. Right when I walked out of the Wetlands, I could feel my shirt soaking with sweat and cigarette smoke. I also had a pounding headache, and I was disoriented. Twas a great show.


Hi guys ! After a very long research, after 2 years, I found the right vehicle for an expedition camper, this is my 1990 Iveco Daily 40.10 4x4, now it need some small works to make it ready for new adventures.
That is way cool. If only we could get those here.
You technically can import one now, as 1991 and older are 25 years old. Import would be around $5-7kUSD plus the cost of the vehicle. It could be a lot less if you live on the east coast and can handle most of the legwork yourself.
That's a very nice piece of kit though.

I'm lusting after a 4th generation so I'd have to wait a long time. I didn't know how long they'd been around until I saw this thread.
Tomorrow it will be white !
Good call. That looks like the Arab version of our American 70's van airbrush motifs, which were usually a unicorn and a scantily clad maiden swinging a big sword around......or something like that.
Hot news this weekend! Today I finished to mount Webasto heater in the van, now we are ready for the winter !
That's all for this weekend !
Finally...test on the snow during last winter holidays !!!
Sweet rig! Your build progress is very functional thus far. Wish we had units like your van in the States.

Cannabis for Symptom Management in Cancer: Do You Know What Your Patients Are Using?
TOP - November 2018, Vol 11, No 3 - Symptom Management
Meg Barbor, MPH
Patients with cancer are increasingly using cannabinoids (the chemical component of cannabis) to treat many symptoms, and a minority of them even take cannabis as a treatment for the cancer itself. Recent surveys have revealed that up to 25% of patients with cancer take some form of cannabis, but oncologists and other medical providers are often unaware that their patients are using medical (or recreational) cannabis.
However, societal changes, a contentious public debate, and an increasing acceptance and availability of cannabis in the general public have underscored the need for providers' knowledge of these medicines and their potential benefits and side effects. In addition, several medical cannabis drugs have been approved by the FDA and are being prescribed by providers.
The role of medical cannabis in cancer treatment has been explored in multiple systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Data from these studies were discussed by Declan Walsh, MD, MSc, Chair, Department of Supportive Oncology, Levine Cancer Institute, Charlotte, NC, who presented on behalf of Mellar P. Davis, MD, FCCP, FAAHPM, Hospice and Palliative Medicine Specialist, Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine, Palliative Care, Geisinger Medical Center, Danville, PA, in a plenary session at the 2018 Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer meeting.
Medical Cannabis for Cancer Management
In a recent survey, the average age of patients who used medical cannabis was 59.5 years, and approximately 27% were previous recreational cannabis users.1 Of those surveyed, approximately 96% said that they obtained significant symptomatic relief, particularly with regard to sleep (78%), pain (78%), weakness (73%), nausea (65%), and lack of appetite (49%), which are some of the most common symptoms in patients with cancer.1
Although more than 100 phytocannabinoids can fall under the umbrella of "medical cannabis"—a class of drugs increasingly promoted as capable of improving symptoms and a potential treatment for cancers—the focus of research has largely been on drugs known as tetrahydrocannabinoids (THCs).
Nausea and Loss of Appetite
Approximately 30 randomized, controlled clinical trials have examined the use of cannabis drugs for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV), and some have been shown to be slightly better or equivalent to existing antiemetic drugs. However, paradoxical hyperemesis may mimic CINV, and some clinical trials on cancer pain showed emesis to be a side effect of cannabis.
"I think the literature on CINV does not support the use of THC or other cannabinoids," for this specific purpose, said Dr Walsh.
Loss of appetite and cachexia are complex maladies in patients with cancer. One study showed that the addition of THC to megestrol did not improve outcomes.2
"But there was, nevertheless, some response to the THC," he noted. "This should be borne in mind as we think about future studies in this area."
Another study by the Cannabis-In-Cachexia Group showed no improvement in appetite, nausea, weight gain, or quality of life when comparing THC or cannabidiol (Epidiolex), the second most common cannabinoid, with placebo.3
A more recent study looked at the role of the THC dronabinol (Marinol, Syndros) in improving dysgeusia (taste changes),4 a common symptom in patients with cancer. The investigators found that the drug improved taste and premeal appetite, and also increased calories from protein.
"When we think about these drugs, we need to consider the whole symptom profile of patients, so as not to miss potential therapeutic effects," said Dr Walsh. "If someone experiences a major symptomatic improvement without gaining any weight, that is still worthwhile."
Psychotic Symptoms and Seizures
Another recent study compared cannabidiol to a widely available antipsychotic drug, amisulpride (not approved in the United States, but available as Solian in other countries), and showed they had approximately equal efficacy in patients with psychotic symptoms, but cannabidiol had fewer side effects.5 "This was an important finding," Dr Walsh noted.
High-quality randomized controlled trials of cannabidiol have demonstrated its beneficial effect on seizures in patients with epilepsy. In June 2018, the FDA approved cannabidiol (Epidiolex), the first FDA-approved drug to contain a purified drug substance derived from marijuana, for the treatment of 2 rare forms of epilepsy—Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and Dravet syndrome.
Sleep and Insomnia
According to Dr Walsh, cannabis and cannabinoids have a complex relationship with sleep. Some studies have shown that cannabis reduces sleep latency and increases slow-wave sleep, but patients can have habituation and tolerance issues with repeated use, and increased dosage is necessary to maintain the drug's therapeutic effect.6 If users do not increase their dosage and instead choose to stop using cannabis, withdrawal can lead to vivid nightmares, hallucinations, dysphoria, confusion, and insomnia.
In a meta-analysis of 79 clinical trials involving cannabis for sleep problems or pain relief, the majority of individuals who used cannabis had improved sleep, and in pain trials, improved sleep was suggested as the reason for an indirect analgesic effect.7
Other studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of cannabidiol in improving rapid eye movement sleep, nabilone (Cesamet) in improving nightmares and insomnia related to posttraumatic stress disorder, and nabiximols (not approved in the United States, but available as Sativex) in other countries in improving sleep problems related to chronic pain.6,8
However, one study showed that individuals who use THC or other cannabis drugs are more likely to suffer from narcolepsy, although the addition of cannabidiol can counter the somnolence effect caused by THC.9
"So, in essence, cannabinoids can either have a beneficial or an adverse effect on sleep patterns," Dr Walsh said. "The jury is out on its true therapeutic role in this area."
Many patients with cancer-related pain use cannabis for sleep disturbances, but the relationship between sleep, pain, and cannabis is under continued investigation in a variety of centers.
"The importance of a good night's sleep in combating daytime fatigue and improving pain control is a critical issue," he said. "So, there is some tentative evidence that when appropriately used, some of these drugs may have a beneficial effect in people with sleep and insomnia disorders, including obstructive sleep apnea," said Dr Walsh. l

Here it is what I came up with during Clayton Kershaw masterpiece performance yesterday at Dodger Dodger Stadium.
A single in the second!
With Crawford on base Woo-Hoo!
I love this old interview! Long time Spanish broadcaster Rene Cardenas interviews Mike Scioscia in Spanish. I love hearing Mike talk in Spanish. Mike Scioscia used to be one of my favorite players. I loved how he blocked the plate. I used to sit behind homeplate in the Loge level. There was an older lady sitting behind me that like me, used to go to the games by herself. Whenever she was not at the game because she also had tickets to the Lakers, I used to buy her ticket so that I could take one of my little cousins to the game.
I did not know how well Mike speaks Spanish. Unlike now, back then I only used to listen to the games in English.
Monday 9/1, Labor Day josh Beckett no-hitter pin will be given out. The Washington Nationals will be in town. The no-hitter was 5/25 against the Phillies at Philadelphia.
Monday September 22 against the Giants we will get the Clayton Kershaw no-hitter pin. The no-hitter was at Dodger Stadium June 13 against the Rockies. Yes! I was at the stadium.
Post done on my iphone from Dodger Stadium. It is not too easy to do that on your phone. Maybe with practice I can get better doing this on my phone.
I did leave the laundry for Thursday night. I am so glad I Did! Wednesday night after the hair salon I headed to Dodger Stadium. I was glad my friend Lorena who has not been feeling well, went to the game. I am sorry that my brother Victor missed the game. He gave me the advice to go but skipped the game.
What a great night! congratulations to our NIÑO DE ORO Clayton Kershaw! pitching his first no-hitter!
The bubble machine at Dodger Stadium was going in full blast celebrating Kershaw's no-hitter.
Clayton Kershaw didn't just throw a no-hitter Wednesday night; he turned in one of the most dominant pitching performances in major league history. Calling his performance a no-hitter merely puts it on a list with 276 other games in which a pitcher didn't allow a hit over nine or more innings. What Kershaw did by retiring 27 of 28 batters, the exception coming on a Hanley Ramirez throwing error, and striking out 15 of them belongs on a much shorter list.
Congratulations kid on your first no-hitter!

Momoiro Clover Z member Ariyasu Momoka has announced that she will graduate from the group after a concert on January 21. Momoka says that she is leaving the group to live life as a regular girl, which would be a change of pace for her seeing as how she's worked in the entertainment industry her entire life, starting off as a baby model.
She has no firm plans for the future.
Momoka joined Momoiro Clover, which later became Momoiro Clover Z, in July 2009. She's had two solo releases, the July 2016 mini album "Kokoro no Senritsu♪feel a heartbeat" and the October 2017 album "Kokoro no Oto." In July 2016, she held her first solo concert at Yokohama Arena.

Peter John Kay (born 2 July 1973) is an English actor, comedy writer and stand-up comedian. He has written, produced and acted in several television and film projects, and has written three books.

Born and brought up in Bolton, Kay studied media performance at the University of Salford. He began working part-time as a stand-up comedian, winning the North West Comedian of the Year award. In 1997 he won Channel 4's So You Think You're Funny contest and the following year was nominated for a Perrier Award for his show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. With his public profile raised, in 2000 he co-wrote and starred in That Peter Kay Thing for Channel 4. This resulted in a spin-off sitcom, Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights, which ran for two series from 2001 to 2002 and in turn generated another spin-off, Max and Paddy's Road to Nowhere, in 2004. In 2005 he recorded a promotional video in which he mimed to Tony Christie's 1971 hit "(Is This the Way to) Amarillo", which was reissued to raise money for Comic Relief: the song reached number 1 in the UK Singles Chart, becoming that year's best-selling single in the UK.

In 2008 Kay co-wrote and starred in Britain's Got the Pop Factor... and Possibly a New Celebrity Jesus Christ Soapstar Superstar Strictly on Ice, a parody of several British reality television shows. As the series' fictional protagonist Geraldine McQueen, he released the single "The Winner's Song", which reached number 2 in the UK singles chart. His 2010–2011 stand-up comedy tour was recorded in the Guinness World Records as the most successful ever selling over 1.2 million tickets. He co-wrote and starred in Peter Kay's Car Share, a sitcom screened by the BBC for three series from 2015 to 2018. He also starred in the 2015 BBC sitcom Cradle to Grave.

In 2016 Kay won the BAFTA TV Award for Best Male Comedy Performance, the BAFTA TV Award for Best Scripted Comedy and the National Television Award for Best Comedy for ...Car Share. He also received an honorary doctorate from the University of Salford.

Early life and career
Peter John Kay was born on 2 July 1973 and was brought up in the Farnworth area of Bolton, Lancashire, where he attended Mount Saint Joseph School, leaving with a GCSE in art. His father, Michael, was an engineer who died just before Peter's career took off. His mother, Deirdre (née O'Neill), is an Irish Catholic originally from Coalisland, County Tyrone, and Peter was brought up in her faith. He took several minor jobs, including working in a toilet roll factory, a Netto supermarket, Manchester Arena, a cash and carry, a cinema, a petrol station and a bingo hall, which later inspired episodes for That Peter Kay Thing.

He began a degree course at the University of Liverpool in Drama, Theatre Studies and English Literature.  Struggling with the course, he changed to studying a Higher National Diploma (HND) in media performance (including stand-up) at the University of Salford's Adelphi Campus School of Media, Music and Performance.  In recognition of his contribution to the entertainment industry, Kay received an honorary Doctor of Arts degree from Salford University  on 19 July 2016, at Salford's Lowry Theatre.

Television career

Kay's first TV project was in a 1997 episode of New Voices, a comedy series which showcased rising talent. His episode, "Two Minutes", written by Johanne McAndrew, saw him play a getaway driver as two of his friends attempted to rob a pub of its takings. In 1997, he played a delivery driver in the BBC drama Born to Run.

Also in 1997, he made a one-off appearance on Coronation Street as a delivery driver for Fred Elliott's corner shop.

In 1998, Kay appeared in a series of sketches for Granada TV's "Last Last Show" and "Roy Mills Films of Fun", where he made his TV debut as a character comedy actor and also did a stand-up set. Neil Fitzmaurice also appeared in the series alongside many other local comedians who Kay later recruited for his Channel 4 series.

After presenting a slot entitled "Peter Kay's World of Entertainment" on BBC Two's The Sunday Show, Kay made an episode of Channel 4's Comedy Lab, "The Services", in 1998, which won a Royal Television Society award for best newcomer. This served as a pilot for That Peter Kay Thing.

Following the series' success, Kay and his co-writers – Neil Fitzmaurice and Dave Spikey – used the episode "In the Club" as the basis for Phoenix Nights, which was an immediate hit. Set in a newly refurbished social club run by Brian Potter, the first series was filmed in part at St. Gregory's Social Club in Farnworth, Greater Manchester, where the exterior, hallways and function suite were used.

He appeared in the first episode of the 2002 series of Linda Green, playing a pizza delivery man who ended up being something of a soulmate to the eponymous heroine. He has had two roles in Coronation Street. The first, in the late 1990s, was a brief appearance as a shopfitter, but in January 2004 he co-wrote his scenes, appearing alongside Sally Lindsay; who played Shelley Unwin.

In 2004, Kay followed the success with Max and Paddy's Road to Nowhere, a spin-off of Phoenix Nights. The show featured the bouncer characters from the show—played by Kay and Paddy McGuinness—and at times also featured other characters from Phoenix Nights. Six episodes were made and broadcast from November to December 2004 by Channel 4. In 2005, Kay was awarded a Rose d'Or at the international television festival in Montreux for Best Performance by an Actor.

In 2004, Kay began appearing in a series of television adverts for UK brewery, John Smith's bitter which imitate the style of Phoenix Nights saw Kay develop his catchphrases "'ave it!" and "two lamb bhunas".

On 17 April 2006, Channel 4 broadcast a "Peter Kay Night", showing out-takes from Phoenix Nights (previously featured on DVD), a behind-the-scenes documentary "180 – A Tour Documentary" which followed Kay behind the scenes of his Mum Wants a Bungalow tour and screened the whole Peter Kay Live in Manchester Arena show.

On 17 June 2006, Kay appeared in the Doctor Who episode "Love & Monsters". His character, the sinister Victor Kennedy, proved to be an alien called the Abzorbaloff in disguise.

In 2008, he returned to television after an absence of four years with the BAFTA-winning satire of reality talent shows, Peter Kay's Britain's Got the Pop Factor... and Possibly a New Celebrity Jesus Christ Soapstar Superstar Strictly on Ice, which he co-wrote with Paul Coleman. The two-hour special was screened on Channel 4 on 17 October 2008.

Kay won his second Royal Television Society award for best actor for playing Geraldine McQueen, a transgender dinner lady from Ireland.

In May 2015 the sitcom Peter Kay's Car Share was aired. The series was a success and a second series was commissioned to start in April 2017.
In October 2015, he starred in Cradle to Grave another BBC sitcom based on Danny Baker's life as a teenager.

Film career

In 2001 he played Cyril the Barman Kay in Blow Dry, based on the screenplay Never Better by Simon Beaufoy. Kay, who doesn't like travelling outside of Northern England, says he only took the part in Blow Dry because he knew it was going to be filmed in Keighley, Bradford, West Yorkshire. However he was disappointed to learn that his role was being filmed in Shoreditch, Greater London.

Music work

In 2007, Kay followed up the success of "(Is This the Way to) Amarillo" with a cover version of "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)", originally by the Proclaimers, also for Comic Relief. In 2009, Kay released "The Official BBC Children in Need Medley", an animation featuring over 100 characters including Thomas the Tank Engine, Bob the Builder and Paddington Bear. It also featured some of the characters' original voice artists including Bernard Cribbins, Neil Morrissey, Ken Barrie and Ringo Starr. The video was premiered on BBC1 on 20 November 2009.

Kay returned his support to Comic Relief in March 2011 with a cover version of "I Know Him So Well", re-recorded by singer Susan Boyle and Kay in the guise of Geraldine McQueen from Britain's Got the Pop Factor. The video which accompanied the single was also directed by Kay and identically parodied the original video shot for shot.

Theatre work
In February 2007, Kay played director Roger DeBris in the Mel Brooks musical The Producers at Manchester's Palace Theatre for 120 shows.

Sporadic appearances and hiatus (2017–2022)

On 9 September 2017, Kay took part in the "We Are Manchester" benefit concert to mark the reopening of Manchester Arena following the terrorist attack in May 2017. He gave a speech to the crowd before introducing the concert's headline act Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds.

In April 2020, Kay featured in the BBC's Big Night In where he introduced an updated version of "(Is This the Way to) Amarillo". It marked his first television appearance for two years.

On 2 January 2021, Kay was a guest on BBC Radio 2's Saturday morning show, with Cat Deeley hosting this 10am to 1pm programme as Graham Norton had now left the slot.

In August 2021, Kay performed two sold out shows at the Manchester 02 Apollo called 'Doing It for Laura' which took place on Saturday 7 August which had been organised in aid of Laura Nuttall, 20 - who was battling an aggressive brain tumour. The tickets for both shows sold out quickly within 30 minutes.

Return and new tour (2022–present)
On 6 November 2022, Kay announced a return to stand-up with a tour beginning in December 2022 and ending in July 2025.

Stand-up career

His first stand-up success was in the competition the North West Comedian of the Year, which was held in Manchester and hosted by Dave Spikey, who would later be the co-star and co-writer of Phoenix Nights. Kay was last on the bill and won the competition, beating Johnny Vegas. Kay has said that he sought a career in comedy. However, he continued to work part-time as an usher at his local cinema in Bolton whilst performing stand-up locally. When the cinema closed, he was presented with the choice of finding another job or moving into comedy full-time.

After he entered and won Channel 4's So You Think You're Funny? contest in 1997, his first semi-professional stand-up appearances were at the 1998 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where he received a prestigious Perrier Award nomination. During this time, he also appeared at various other clubs, such as London's Comedy Store.

Although this led to a certain level of public recognition, it was only after his first live special Live at the Top of the Tower in 2000 that Kay attained mainstream recognition. During this period, he appeared on several chat shows, such as Friday Night with Jonathan Ross and Parkinson, on the latter of which he had previously served as warm-up. It was at this time that production also began on Phoenix Nights.

In November 2009, after an absence of seven years, Kay announced a return to stand-up with four (later extended to 20) dates at the Manchester Arena the following April with a show entitled The Tour That Doesn't Tour Tour...Now On Tour. Demand for tickets caused him to announce soon after that the show would be toured. In January 2012, the tour entered the Guinness Book of World Records as the most successful stand-up comedy tour of all time, playing to a total of 1.2 million people.

Kay's tour received minor criticism in the press when his disabled fans were hit with bills of up to £39 on premium phone lines booking tour tickets. It was later clarified that this was an issue with the ticket booking services associated with specific venues rather than a matter directly associated with Peter Kay or his production company.

Kay was included in the Independent on Sunday's "Happy List" in 2009 as "simply Britain's best comedian", and – as an exception to their general rule – was included again in 2010 for also raising funds for Children in Need.

In November 2017, Kay announced his intention to return to stand-up with his first tour in eight years. Peter Kay Live: Have Gags, Will Travel was scheduled to begin touring in 2018, beginning with the Genting Arena in April before touring at venues such as SSE Hydro, Manchester Arena, The O2 Arena, First Direct Arena, SSE Arena Belfast, Sheffield Arena and Echo Arena Liverpool. On 13 December 2017, Kay announced that he was cancelling all future work projects (including Peter Kay Live: Have Gags Will Travel tour) for family reasons. He had asked that the media respect his and his family's privacy. The tour hit criticism again regarding phone calls as fans were charged 62p per minute to call premium rate phone lines to claim ticket refunds.

On 6 November 2022, via an advert during the series 22 premiere of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!, Kay announced his first stand-up tour in twelve years, running from 2 December 2022 to 11 August 2023. In recognition of the current cost of living crisis, Kay stated that tickets would start at £35, matching the price of his previous 2010 tour. Due to demand, additional dates were announced for 2024 and 2025.

Stand-up tours

DVD releases

In December 2011, it was reported that Kay had sold over 10 million DVDs, a UK record for a comedian and more than the combined sales of best selling films Avatar and Mamma Mia!.

Kay and his wife Susan are the two directors of Goodnight Vienna Productions, which co-produces Kay's comedy output.

In The Press > New company to challenge minnow status of New Zealand SMEs
New company to challenge minnow status of New Zealand SMEs
Written by administrator, 24 Jun 2019
New Zealand SMEs are minuscule by international standards and will remain so because Kiwi business owners remain poor adopters of technology despite the time and complexity challenges they face – it's a dilemma that newly launched OneHQ aims to change.
"Most New Zealand companies are less than five people. We call ourselves small to medium businesses, but less than five people is a micro-business by world standards," says OneHQ CEO Hamish McLachlan. "A small business is actually five to 75 people, which would be considered significant by local standards.
"The size of local businesses is simply not big enough to be properly economical. The goal of OneHQ is to increase the productivity of NZ SMEs by helping them to leverage technology and make them more resilient to change, and therefore more likely to grow. In turn, this will help improve our national economy."
OneHQ is the brainchild of prominent New Zealand business leaders:
• Chris Chandler (founder of Aeroparks Auckland Airport Parking and New Zealand Jerky);
• Craig Cotton, (previously executive director of The Better Drinks Company);
• Warren Hughes (Equinox IT and CTO NZ Lotto);
• Harry Ferreira (former BNZ general manager small business);
• Niran and Vinay Iswar (formerly NexGen Accounting); and
• Hamish McLachlan (formerly head of small business at KPMG).
McLachlan says OneHQ brings multiple services, experience and expertise under one roof to deliver a better customer experience across a range of areas that most businesses need to use – including finance, accounting, technology and advisory.
"For example, business growth ideas need to be clearly planned. Growth needs funding to support that delivery; it means knowing your numbers and having easier access to that funding."
McLachlan says that OneHQ launches as a solution to the unique set of problems and circumstances now confronting small and medium businesses in New Zealand – issues that will keep business small unless addressed.
"SMEs will find it harder and harder to access funding in 2019 and beyond," McLachlan said. "While few are talking about it just yet, we don't doubt that the increasingly regulated financial environment is going to make it very difficult for SMEs to operate as they have in the past.
"Add to this rising costs from labour, fuel and compliance, and it very quickly becomes obvious that the sector that is also the major employer in New Zealand is going to be hurting in the not too distant future. It's hard to grow when you're just trying to get by."
McLachlan said OneHQ launches with a specific suite of services that form an integrated solution designed to help SMEs not just navigate what lies ahead but to grow in size."
"Odeh's suite of lending, technology, accounting and advisory services form a unique combination that can help SMEs raise the funding they need and improve efficiencies and reduce costs through technology and smart accounting – all under the umbrella of a smart, cohesive business strategy.
"At the same time, we can use technology to introduce greater efficiencies into the business to free up capital the business owner didn't know he or she had – such as reducing the need to hold stock."
One example of technology is the integration of marketing and CRM automation software to take the pain out of hours spent on social media, answering emails and tracking prospective customers – technology allows that to happen in the background so the business owner can focus more strategically.

Even with more and more people keeping more of their natural teeth throughout their lives than ever before, millions of Americans still suffer from some degree of tooth loss, according to the American College of Prosthodontists. Missing teeth can have an effect on everything from physical appearance and a person's general quality of life, to a number of consequences on oral and general health. The dentists at Digiorno Dental Fitness in Folsom and Sacramento, CA advise patients to consider dental implants as a comprehensive solution to the cosmetic and health problems that can result from living with tooth loss.
An implant is a small, screw shaped dental prosthetic made of biocompatible titanium, which makes it highly resistant to infection and allows for it to fuse with the surrounding bone tissue in the gums and behave much like a normal root. Once the implant has healed, a natural looking cosmetic crown is attached, completing the restoration.
Implants are the closest thing to a natural tooth, and actually help to improve oral health by helping to maintain and grow new healthy bone tissue in the gums. When a tooth is lost, the surrounding bone tissue begins to erode. If left untreated, bone loss can lead to inflammation, infections and periodontal disease, which increases the risk of both oral and general health problems in the future.
Implants can be used to replace a single tooth or even a set of dentures with just a few implants. Once they are in place, dental implants are cared for just like natural teeth, with vigorous oral hygiene and regular follow up care by a dentist.
If you are an adult in good general and oral health, dental implants may be a good tooth replacement option for you. For more information, and to find out if you are a good candidate, contact Digiorno Dental Fitness to schedule an appointment today.

American Booksellers Association, Inc. v. Hudnut
First Amendment case, 1985
American Booksellers Association, Inc. v. Hudnut was an action brought against the City of Indianapolis, challenging the constitutionality of the Anti-Pornography Ordinance of 1984. The Indianapolis ordinance prohibited "all discriminatory practices of sexual subordination or inequality through pornography." It was significant as the only ordinance of its kind passed into law in a U.S. city. An awkward alliance between local conservatives and an outsider feminist made its momentary success possible. Based upon a similar ordinance passed in Minneapolis, Minnesota, but vetoed by that city's mayor, the ordinance was a widely publicized attempt to define pornography as the sexually explicit subordination of women and thus a discriminatory practice subject to regulation by the Equal Opportunity Advisory Board.
William H. Hudnut III, 45th Mayor of Indianapolis
The 1970s witnessed an increase in adult bookstores throughout many metropolitan cities, including Indianapolis. In response, the City-County Council passed ordinances and zoning laws in attempts to push out these businesses and prohibit sales of pornographic material. Reverend Greg Dixon, pastor of the Indianapolis Baptist Temple, served as a prominent spokesman for citizens morally outraged over materials they considered obscene and inappropriate. By the early 1980s, adult businesses were prevalent in suburban areas outside of downtown. Angry community members frequently wrote Mayor William H. Hudnut Iii, concerned over potential drops in property value as well as moral degradation and crime in the neighborhood.
Proposed by nationally prominent feminists Andrea Dworkin and Catharine MacKinnon, neither from Indianapolis, and supported by Hudnut, the language of the Indianapolis ordinance defined pornography as the subordination of women. City-County Councilwoman Beulah Coughenour offered to sponsor it. A Republican known for her opposition to the Equal Rights Amendment, Coughenour joined forces with MacKinnon, which in most contexts would have been a most unlikely alliance. With the help of Indianapolis attorney Deborah Daniels, the women drafted an ordinance that mimicked the previous attempted legislation in Minneapolis. The legislation outlawed any distribution of pornography on the grounds of sexual discrimination. It permitted women, and others, to file complaints to the equal opportunity advisory board based upon discriminatory acts of pornography.
The ordinance was also supported by several fundamentalist and evangelical Christian ministers who appeared at council hearings with dozens of members of their congregations to testify in favor of passage. A certain irony to that support was duly noted in news coverage of the proceedings: the alliance of so-called radical feminists with the religious right was considered a marriage of convenience, and it was widely assumed that the two groups were intent upon advancing quite different agendas. These complaints could then turn into civil lawsuits against distributors.
Despite the ordinance's feminist language, it received no support from local feminists. Janice Kreuscher and Sheila Suess Kennedy were among those who vocalized opposition, citing it as an infringement upon First Amendment rights. Groups like the Indiana National Organization Of Women worried that such legislation risked censorship of sexual education and feminist publications. The Indianapolis Urban League and several other civil rights organizations opposed the ordinance on the grounds that it was a perversion of the mission of the city's Equal Opportunity Advisory Board as well as a threat to First Amendment freedoms.
The ordinance was signed into law on June 15, 1984, and the suit was immediately filed on behalf of a large group of plaintiffs, including the American Booksellers Association, Inc., the Association for American Publishers, Inc., the Council for Periodical Distributors, Inc., and the Freedom to Read Foundation. The American Civil Liberties Union and its Indiana affiliate filed an amicus brief supporting the plaintiffs.
On November 19, 1984, Judge Sarah Evans Barker of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana permanently enjoined enforcement of the ordinance and declared it unconstitutional. Judge Barker expressly rejected the contention by proponents of the ordinance that the production, dissemination, and use of sexually explicit works and pictures constituted subordination of women and thus should be considered conduct rather than speech. Instead, the Court agreed with plaintiffs that the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution prohibited efforts to suppress speech even when the speech was alleged to cause a social evil. The Court also found the ordinance unconstitutionally vague.

The City of Indianapolis appealed the adverse judgment to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, which affirmed the District Court's decision on August 27, 1985. The city persisted, appealing the Seventh Circuit decision to the U.S. Supreme Court. On February 24, 1986, the Supreme Court, without opinion, unanimously affirmed the lower courts, effectively concluding the debate with respect to the Indianapolis ordinance. The case has been widely cited, and copies of the opinions of the District Court and the Court of Appeals are found in numerous textbooks on constitutional law.
Attempts to outlaw pornography continued into the late 1980s, resembling efforts of those enacted prior to the 1984 ordinance, such as zoning and policing of businesses. Modern-day opponents of pornography take a more educational approach to teach about the perceived dangers of pornography through organizations such as the Indiana Coalition to End Sexual Assault (ICESA).

I couldn't not think of Tuvix, which I liked a lot, and I do like Enterprise, which I find vastly superior to anything else since TOS, one big reason being the lack of wallpaper characters like Troi, Chakotay, or God forbid, Worf.
And I totally condone John G's outburst about not expecting impeccable Trek behaviour from characters who don't have at least 100 years of Trek hindsight to guide them.
Mark me down as being in the "This is outright the best story in the whole ST franchise" camp.
A fantastic episode on every level. It put me through every emotion I knew and more.
How anybody can prefer TNG and especially Space Mall 9 to ENT will forever remain a mystery to me.
I'm watching DS9 for the first time. Or at least I was watching it, but this is as far as I go. I just can't see how they are going to rescue this series now. First Children of Time, then a laborious 7-episode arc full of false promises and ending in a DEM. Oh dear.
behaviour following Tuvix's initial reaction to the assumption that the reversal was a no-brainer, "But Captain, I don't want to die", proved for me that here was a series prepared to swerve melodrama and shock the audience with the hard, unembellished truth. Contrary to the person who saw this as the death of VOY, I saw this as the moment the series grew a pair.
This episode stretched my willing suspension of disbelief to snapping point because of all the logic holes.
Moreover, I find that the similar moral dilemma in Voy:Tuvix absolutely wipes the floor with this one, both in its shunning of melodrama and in the near-perfection of the way it is acted.
I've been fast tracking the Star Treks that followed TOS as I wasn't able to watch them first time round, using various reviews as my skip guide. I took a time out to revisit some I'd skipped due to bad reviews. There were quite a few surprises and a good number of gems, any one of which I'd have traded for this one. (I've quit relying on reviews and letting the first 15 minutes be my skip/watch switch).

Eid al-Adha, one of the biggest day for Muslims across the world has turned out to be a nightmare for the Keralite Muslims due to the deadly floods in the state.
With the state still reeling under the aftermath of the worst flooding in a century, people were in no condition to celebrate.
Forget celebration, a lot of Muslims even found it difficult to offer Eid Namaz as a lot of Masjids are still covered with water.
It was under this circumstances, a temple in Kerala's Thrissur district opened its doors to Muslims to offer prayers, setting a great example of love and harmony. The Purappillikavu Rakteshwari Temple in Mala welcomed Muslims to offer Eid prayers in a hall in the compound itself.
According to locals, almost all the Masjids in the neighbouring areas are still inundated and the Muslim brothers were thankful to the temple authorities for letting them offer namaz there.
"We are all humans first. Not just in the face of such a tragedy, we should always remember that we are all the children of one God. I hope to see such harmony prevail in the coming days too, where we can work together on relief and offering help to people still in need," a temple official said.
As the world marked Eid, the Muslim community in Kerala largely refrained from celebrations. Not only this, people across the nation are contributing to help the flood victims.

Black Widow Movie: The First Trailer Shows a Family Reunion, New Look and a Lot of Sweet Action
Published Tue Dec 03 2019 By Travis
The first trailer for Black Widow is here and we are getting a family reunion for Natasha.
After years of anticipation, hope and continues asking, the 'Black Widow' movie will arrive in theatres next year. But before we get into the film, there is the first trailer which made its way onto the internet at midnight, and it is everything you hoped it would be, a look at Black Widow's past, people she was with before and what made her run away from her past.
We know the movie is set to take place before the events of the 'Infinity War' and after the fallout of the ending of the 'Civil War.' The 'Captain' faction is on the run; heroes like 'Scott Lang,' who was a white-collar criminal back in the day, get to come back home and get a slap on the wrist. 'Hawkeye' as well gets to be with his family after all the years of service in protecting the people.

But where do people like 'Black Widow' go, someone who cannot return home for some mysterious reason and is being hunted by the same people she worked with since leaving home. Well, the trailer makes it clear from the start; she is done running from the past and ready to go back home, and this is exactly what she does.
The first scene we see is of 'Natasha' on the run from the people coming to catch her, and the first voice is of 'Secretary Ross,' who says, "you left in a hurry." After the warning she received from Tony, stemming from how she helped 'Captain' and the other heroes affiliated with the 'Captain' escape, leaving in a hurry was a given.
Black Widow is coming to the theaters in May of 2020.
Other captured heroes got a floating prison; she would've received an even darker fate, and leaving was the only option for the original member of the 'Avengers.' In her bid to escape, though, she needs to call upon some old friends, who are definitely not happy to see her. The first person 'Natasha' meets is his sister 'Yelena Belova,' the one person who is the least happy to see her.
Played by Florence Pugh, 'Yelena' and 'Natasha' get into a fight and throw all the aggression behind and direct their attention to the real enemy, the place which made them both killers. Then, we get an appearance of 'Black Widow' in the costume from the concept art released at the comic con.

In the same costume, we get our first look at the character Rachel Weisz is playing, Melina Vostokoff. We also get our first look of David Harbour as 'Alexei Shostakov' or better known as the 'Red Guardian.' Then there is the white suite debut while Black Widow goes searching for a battle so she can reclaim parts of her past and leave it behind, where it belongs.
There is some bonkers action, flying gun-fights, and by the end of the trailer, a family reunion for 'Black Widow' with all the people from her past, sitting together, enjoying a meal. The problem most people had with the ending of 'Endgame' was 'Natasha' did not get the same respect 'Tony' got, but it seems this will be the proper goodbye for the character.

Oh, and there are rumors Robert Downey Jr. is coming back as Iron Man in the movie for a small cameo. These are just rumors at this point, and it would be nice to see the two characters talk again.
It will be an emotional time when 'Black Widow' arrives in theatres on May 2020. We know the fate waiting for the character in 'Endgame,' which is why this movie will be a bittersweet curtain call to the OG Avenger, one of the first six who first made us fall in love with the MCU.
Black Widow will be making a bow before the summer of 2020.
