Recently listed as number three on The National Trust’s 50 things to do before you’re 11 3/4, camping can be a magical and adventurous experience for all the family to enjoy. However, as with all great things, failing to plan appropriately for your camping trip can cause problems. With this in mind, The Glow Company have released a handy go-to guide for camping essentials so that every family can have a great camping trip this summer.

The Glow Company’s Camping Guide uses this motto and applies it to the potential needs of a family of three, based on Mum, Dad and a child, as they undertake a fabulous summer adventure taking in nature and sleeping under the stars.

The focus of the guide is on fulfilling the very basic of human needs, food and shelter. A camping trip won’t get off the ground without a tent, and the Camping Guide offers advice for appropriate tent sizes as well as ways to customise any tent so that the tent easy to find on busy campsites and to prevent trip hazards, such as guy ropes, with camping essentials such as glowsticks.

Food is also very high list of camping experiences, and The Glow Company’s Camping Guide offers practical advice for cooking outdoors and gives details of handy gadgets such as the Biolite Camping Stove which makes cooking on camp much easier. A handy piece of kit that runs on sustainable biomass which can be easily found around any campsite, the Biolite camping stove not only cooks food and boils water, but also charges essential gadgets such as smartphones

The Glow Company Camping Guide also gives details of the latest camping equipment and the simplest of solutions to keep every camper prepared for every eventuality, and to ensure that they will experience comfort away from home. For example, gadgets such as the solar kettle which boils water using the power from the sun, and solar powered camping lanterns and torches that give light without the need to rely on batteries which means that running out of batteries will never be a problem.

Camping is about fun, and as well as focusing on safety and comfort, The Camping Guide also suggests types of entertainment that all of the family can enjoy. Take a break from technology and come together as a family to enjoy sports games and activities such as Frisbee, football, rounders and cricket, all of which light up and glow in the dark. Glowsticks are also a great source of fun when camping, and can be used for dancing, juggling and even as a nightlight to give comfort to younger kids in the dark.

A very handy guide for a family to enjoy the great outdoors; The Glow Company aim to help every family make the most of their camping trip this summer.

Darius Rucker is fighting back — and with good cause. The country singer has responded to a racist tweet that was sent his way after he covered Bob Dylan‘s “Wagon Wheel” at the Grand Ole Opry on Sunday, May 19.

A Twitter user wrote to the “True Believers” singer, who is African-American: “Leave country to the white folk.” 

The former Hootie and the Blowfish frontman re-tweeted the comment and wrote back, “WOW. Is this 2013 or 1913? I’ll take my grand ole Opry membership and leave your racism. Wow.” 

PHOTOS: Stars gone country

As fans quickly tweeted their support to Rucker, he assured everyone that the racist comment wouldn’t get the best of him.

“Gotta go to bed this has been hilarious tonight,” he wrote. “If any hater thinks I care what u think. I don’t make music for u. So don’t listen.”

In the past, Rucker, 47, has been vocal about dealing with racism throughout his life.

“I grew up in South Carolina my whole life and not that South Carolina is any more racist than New York City but I experienced it a lot,” he told ABC News in 2000. “The funny thing is that people think a lot of Americans don’t think this is true, but I experience racism almost every day.”

Asked how people can change the perception towards minorities, he responded, “We have to as a country all step up to it and say what’s wrong and tell people I don’t feel that way and don’t talk that way around me.”

Rucker’s True Believers album was released on May 21. He moved from rock to country in 2008 with the release of his Learn to Live album.

PRLog (Press Release) – May 4, 2013 - India, Bangalore (April 29, 2013)

Government of India has proposed about 85 per cent hike in insurance premium for motor vehicles. This will be applicable for vehicles less than 1000 cc motors. The third party Motor Insurance is now all set to get costlier soon. This is with respect to the endorsement by the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA). It has proposed a considerable hike in the premium payable. The recent revision in premium price will soon hit the entry-level segment for cars with engines below 1000 cc. This is known to be the hardest on because the increase in the cover was initially proposed as 85 per cent.

The 1,000 – 1,500 cc car segment will soon experience the minimum increase. This is amounts only 1.4 percent. Now the vehicles over 1,500 cc segment will experience an increase of about 43 per cent in premium.

“The maximum increase has also been recommended for the entry-level segment. This is because the increase of incidences related to accidents is very high. The first time motor drivers were more involved in the mishaps” confirmed Insurance Experts.

Third party car insurance plan is different from own damage insurance. This is because it is mandatory for all vehicles regardless of the nature of usage (private or commercial). The plan actually covers claims of third party victims.

“This recent hike proposed by the government of India is a step towards increase in accidents on road and number of claims made by insurance buyers. This has led to losses to the Car Insurance industry. Hence, to overcome the losses, the insurance regulatory in India has decided to increase premium for third party insurance (the mandatory plan)” confirmed Insurance Experts.
Higher premiums will definitely cover losses in the car insurance segment in India. According to some sources, a sharp increase in personal damage insurance will also be announced soon.

Haters gonna hate, but Gwyneth Paltrow is getting the last laugh. The Iron Man 3 actress came under fire this past week after walking the red carpet premiere for her new action flick in a revealing Antonio Berardi dress on Wednesday, Apr. 24. But, according to her stylist Elizabeth Saltzman, Paltrow never looked better. 

“Not only was it our first choice, it’s [also] beautiful, it’s cool, it’s daring in a no-daring way. Nonthreatening. Elegant,” Saltzman told Us Weekly of Paltrow’s gown, which featured a sheer side panel that revealed the entire length of her leg, from hip to toe. “It looked great on her … it showed off her body. It’s spirit without being vulgar.”

PHOTOS: Most controversial red-carpet gowns ever!

Saltzman also pointed out that Paltrow wasn’t wearing the gown to nab attention — rather, the Goop founder was only “having fun” with the outfit and showing off her healthy, toned body.

“The point is that this girl has taste, this girl has confidence,” the stylist told Us. “And she’s not flaunting anything but the hard work that she’s put into being a happy body, happy person, healthy person. You don’t see a whole lot of false fakeness going on there like some other people. She’s always classic with a twist, classic with an edge.”

PHOTOS: Gwyneth through the years

Adds a source close to the actress: “She honestly felt it was a beautiful dress! Then she realized she couldn’t wear underwear with it — she tried it on with underwear first and then saw how bad it looked — so she went for it.”

“That’s how Gwyneth is,” the source continued. “She didn’t know it would get such a negative reaction. She thought it was beautiful and fit the event.”

PHOTOS: Gwyneth’s most obnoxious quotes ever

The gown in question was an item from Berardi’s fall/winter 2013 collection, and the actress wore it well, the designer told Grazia magazine. “Gwyneth manages to bridge the gap of glamour and modernity,” he told the magazine. “She makes things look iconic!”

The 40-year-old actress sat down with Ellen DeGeneres on her talk show on Friday, Apr. 26, and admitted that she was a bit “humiliated” by the bad press the outfit had garnered. Especially, she shared, because she had a little “disaster” just prior to the red carpet reveal.

PHOTOS: Gwyneth’s amazing bikini body

“I was doing a show and I changed there and I couldn’t wear underwear. I don’t think I can tell this story on TV,” Paltrow said with a laugh. “Well, let’s just say everyone went scrambling for a razor. …I work a ’70s vibe. You know what I mean?”

Jenna Wolfe has some studying to do! On Saturday’s live episode of TODAY Weekend, the co-anchor, 39, got some extra attention from colleagues Lester Holt, Erica Hill and weather anchor Dylan Dreyer — all of them eager to celebrate Wolfe’s recently announced pregnancy. In honor of that exciting news, the morning show team submitted themselves to a lightning round of “Know Your Baby,” in which Dreyer quizzed Wolfe plus Hill and Holt, both already parents, on the art of baby-rearing.

PHOTOS: Out and proud stars

Wolfe (who came out as gay and announced she and girlfriend, fellow NBC journalist Stephanie Gosk, will raise their baby-to-be together) gamely tried her hand as Dreyer held up one baby accessory after another — a “Bundle Me,” a wipes-warmer, a diaper holder and more — but didn’t pass with flying colors on the quiz.

“Bottom line? I’m in no way shape or form ready to have this child!” she joked. “Not true,” Hill assured her. “You have a few months to get there.”

PHOTOS: Best-dressed TV hosts

Her team then gifted Wolfe with a baby basket including diapers, weight-shaped rattles and more. “This is the most adorable gift basket literally of all time,” she gushed.

PHOTOS: Stars open up about motherhood

Wolfe admitted it’s going to be a very steep learning curve when their baby — a little girl — arrives later this year. “I’ve never changed a diaper. I don’t know how to decorate a nursery. I don’t really understand what a breast pump is. And don’t get me started on the feeding schedule,” she wrote in a blog post. “Both of us agree that THIS little girl will be the biggest and best adventure of our lives.”

As part of its celebrations for reaching over 100,000 fans on Facebook, Motorcycle News (MCN) magazine is running a competition in which five smart battery chargers, from global battery care and maintenance brand CTEK, are up for grabs.

To enter, participants need to visit either the Motorcycle News Facebook page or visit one of CTEK’s social profiles – facebook.com/CTEKBatteryChargers and twitter.com/CTEKChargers – and follow the links to the MCN Facebook competition page.

The competition will be open for two days over the Easter weekend, on Sunday 31 March and 1 April. Entrants need to simply register to enter and five lucky winners will be chosen at random.

The five competition prizes are CTEK XS 0.8 smart chargers, perfect for smaller 12V batteries usually found in motorcycles and other vehicles such as lawnmowers. However the XS 0.8 is also suitable to be used as a car battery charger.

CTEK’s XS 0.8 is compact and has a six stage charging process, including ‘desulphation’, which removes sulphates from a battery’s plates, ensuring the battery can charge to its full capacity. The charger can be left attached for long periods of time, for example throughout the winter months when a bike is in storage, and has been designed for unsupervised use. It is straightforward to connect and the display allows users to follow the full charging process, meaning battery maintenance has never been simpler for riders.

Katariina Stahl, director of sales and marketing at CTEK, commented: “As part of Motorcycle News’ 100,000 Facebook fans celebration, five lucky fans will be able to win a CTEK XS 0.8 smart battery charger. All people have to do is visit the MCN competition page, which can easily found by following the link from facebook.com/CTEKBatteryChargers.

“All vehicle batteries should be cared for, but it is especially important to undertake a regular routine on a motorcycle’s battery. Bikes are often only used during weekends over the summer months, which invites sulphur to build-up on the plates and this can easily lead to a battery failure well before its time.”

For more information on CTEK’s 12V battery charger range, please visit www.ctek.com. Connect to CTEK socially on Facebook and Twitter via CTEKBatteryChargers and @CTEKChargers.
