Joy Division were an English rock band formed in 1976 in Salford, Greater Manchester. Originally named Warsaw, the band primarily consisted of Ian Curtis (vocals and occasional guitar), Bernard Sumner (guitar and keyboards),[1] Peter Hook (bass guitar and backing vocals) and Stephen Morris (drums and percussion). Joy Division rapidly evolved from their initial punk rock influences to develop a sound and style that pioneered the post-punk movement of the late 1970s. According to music critic Jon Savage, the band “were not punk but were directly inspired by its energy”.[2] Their self-released 1978 debut EP, An Ideal for Living, caught the attention of the Manchester television personality Tony Wilson. Joy Division’s debut album, Unknown Pleasures, was released in 1979 on Wilson’s independent record label Factory Records, and drew critical acclaim from the British press. Despite the band’s growing success, vocalist Ian Curtis was beset with depression and personal difficulties, including a dissolving marriage and his diagnosis with epilepsy. Curtis found it increasingly difficult to perform at live concerts, and often had seizures during performances. On the eve of the band’s first American tour in May 1980, Curtis, overwhelmed with depression, committed suicide. Joy Division’s posthumously released second album, Closer (1980), and the single “Love Will Tear Us Apart” became the band’s highest charting releases. After the death of Curtis, the remaining members reformed as …

10 Reasons to Visit Poland

Here’s why you should.

1. Poland has many castles and palaces, making it a romantic fairytale of a place in some regions. If you like learning more about the lives of the people who lived in the castles and palaces, then you’ll love the Lancut Palace, and the Malbork Castle in Greater Gdansk.

2. The Mazury Lake District in Eastern Poland, is popular with those who like water sports. So if you’re a keen sailor or like the idea of exploring over 2500 small lakes you’ll love it here. The Pieniny and Czorsztyn lake region, in southern Poland, are perfect if you like the sound of hiking, or rafting, and enjoying some of the best scenery in Europe, you’ll really be in your element here

3. The Wolinski National Park on the Baltic Coast may be one of the smallest in Poland, but it’s also one of the most beautiful. There’s plenty of forest areas to explore, and lots of wildlife, including bison and sea eagles, and home to many plants including 16 varieties of orchids.

4. Poland is steeped in history, and there’s lots of culture to experience. Although the death camps of Auschwitz and Birkenau need no introduction, and there are lots of exhibits including personal artefacts which act as sobering reminders of what happened here.

5. Perhaps you’ve had a weekend break in Krakow, or Warsaw already, and want to explore more of Poland. Why not come back again for a longer holiday, instead of choosing somewhere in Western Europe?

6. Poland really isn’t too far away. You’ll be able to spend more time enjoying yourself, and getting to know this amazing country, and less time getting here.

7. By flying from your local airport, Poland is easy to get to and you can get away for the weekend, or enjoy a midweek city break without needing to spend most of your time travelling.

8. There’s plenty to see and do here at any time of year. Whether you want to explore a museum, enjoy the lakes, or sample the hospitality of cities like Krakow, you don’t need to leave your weekend away until the summer.

9. Because there’s lots to see and do here, Poland is becoming a popular hen and stag weekend destination. Why not see what activities you can find to do, before enjoying the great nightlife in one of the major cities?

10. No matter whether you’re young or old, you’ll have a great time in Poland, and although you might want to spend more time in the galleries than the cafes, or the nightclubs might be more appealing than the museums, you’ll find the way of life, food, and attitude here most agreeable.

Now you know why you should come here, perhaps now is the time to book your flights to Poland.

Gambling in Casinos is Legal So Why is it Illegal on the Internet?

The issue to those who made the law regarding online gambling in the United States was so called “morality” which of course is arbitrary and if one looks at things from a purely logical point of view should never be used as a basis for law. It being this sort of thinking which in the US lead to the failed Volstead Act. This act being the one that brought about prohibition in the United States during the 20s which contrary to popular misconception made it unlawful not to produce or consume alcohol but to sell or buy it. Meaning one could not profit from it which of course some did and in a huge way.

Morality regardless of what ever we may be told is a point of view which has always been; as what is considered to be moral by one individual or society will not necessarily be considered as such by another individual or society. For instance some may consider adultery as immoral though the law in most countries does not regard it as illegal or at least not anymore. As another example I can state how in some countries alcohol consumption is considered illegal on religious and moral grounds though in others it is not. However morality should be distinguished between right and wrong. Of course never loosing sight of how even these two to a large extent are also subjective to interpretation though for the most part it is accepted by most of society that murder and theft are wrong.

With regards to the morality of gambling; we like many other things such as prostitution, drinking, same sex marriages, smoking, and drug taking can always argue about their moral aspects and their effect on society as a whole but can it be considered wrong for people who are past a certain age (18 in most countries) to willingly risk loosing their money in an attempt to win more of it even if this be on the internet? These people after all are aware that there is a chance that their money will be lost, at least to them. This is a question I would reply in the negative; giving the following reason. Why should it be less moral for a person to win or loose money in gambling on the internet then it is on “Wall Street”? This being a place were even larger sums of money are won and lost. If we lend some thought to the matter; is “investing” money on the stock market not a form of gambling as one is never sure one will profit or not unless one has inside information which is even illegal. Naturally I am aware that there are those who will say that on the stock market money is neither won nor loss but simply changes hands well is it not the same case with online gambling and in this argument, let it not slip our minds that investing (or gambling) on the stock market may also be done on the internet.

If we look at the issue from an even broader perceptive is not gambling on the internet less harmful on the whole then investing or gambling on the stock market? Depending on how one wishes to label it, always bearing in mind that gambling is an activity in which money changes hands more by chance then by skill or knowledge. The stock market naturally being more harmful by virtue of being able to cause devastating effects on the economy of the whole world whereas internet gambling may realistically involve only those who directly partake in it. Furthermore losses from internet gambling could never even approach those that were caused by the “sub prime market” which has set the world in to recession; though few are willing to use the term, at least for now.

The reason the United States congress has seen fit to declare gambling on the internet as illegal is based upon “morality”. I personally do not see how this be “immoral”; if such a word could be applied to people who by there own free will are risking their own assets as opposed to those who do likewise on the stock market. The stock market being a place where on many occasions those who invest do not even do so with their own savings but those of others who are not necessarily among society’s most affluent or sometimes not even informed as to what is being done with their money. Is it not or should it not be up to each individual to decide in what form he or she wishes to spend or risk loosing his or her financial resources or in this case not even on what but where?

However I in what be this whole affair see something else that perhaps some do not and that is if people are not allowed to gamble on the internet or at least those in the US then would they not be forced to do so exclusively in American casinos as they would be left with no other legal choice. This making it abundantly clear that with a law forbidding gambling on the internet on supposedly moral grounds then American casinos would no longer be loosing out to internet competition. This leaving the road clear for American gambling loses to stay in America as opposed to leaving the country. This in my opinion is the real issue that is being disguised as morality.

Naturally since casinos would be making more money because of this law so would the United States government given that casinos would have higher revenues to be taxed which in a time of crisis would not come as unwanted income. This even goes further as when Americans gamble less in casinos and more on the internet they also spend less money on traveling to those casinos, or staying in the hotels which own the casinos. This creating a situation that internet gambling has not only taken profits from American casinos but all those businesses connected to them. So taking these factors in to consideration, I in my believe (if no one else’s) claim this law was passed to assist casinos in America and their associated businesses in making higher profits while hiding behind the smoke screen that is morality. Moral grounds being that people loose their money and communities suffers as if the same thing did not occur when the identical activity is carried out in the casinos of Los Vegas or Atlantic City.

Of course like with prohibition which did not stop drinking but rather increased it; this law based on hypocrisy will also not stop online gambling either; even for Americans (let alone people from other countries) as all they need do is travel outside the US or simply find a foreign bank to issue them a credit card that is not bound to uphold laws that simply do not make sense and serve no purpose other then the interest of a select few.

A Guide to the Routes of British Airways

In 1936 another three companies formed British Airways and a total merger of these companies in 1939 saw the formation of BOAC. There have been several name changes between then and today but in 1986 they once again returned to British Airways.

Today British Airways offers low fares all the year round. They have an extensive global network that operates to and from some of the most important airports. Here in the UK they fly from Aberdeen, Barra, Belfast International, Benbecula, Bristol, Cambeltown, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness, Islay, Jersey, Kirkwall, Leeds Bradford, Lerwick, London City, Gatwick and Heathrow, Manchester, Newcastle, Stornoway, Tiree, Wick and Sumburgh.

Many of British Airways routes are operated through its partners. This is possible due to them starting the Oneworld airline alliance. Although the main hub for British Airways is Heathrow and Gatwick, you will find partners such as Loganair operating on short flights out of Aberdeen, Glasgow and Edinburgh, Flybe operating from Manchester to Aberdeen, Aer Lingus from Heathrow to Belfast International and BA City Flyer operating out of London City to Amsterdam, Barcelona, Dublin, Edinburgh, Frankfurt, Geneva, Glasgow, Lyon, Madrid, nice, Warsaw and Zurich. Cities not covered in this list may operate BMI.

Flybe, the low cost airlines, also operate from Birmingham to Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Milan, Paris and Stuttgart. Other airlines operating on the same routes as British airways routes include Iberia, SN Brussels Airlines, Maleacutev and Qantas. The list of routes the British Airways brand themselves fly to and from is exhaustive and it is sufficient to say that they cover every corner of the world.

British Airways offer regular seat sales and special offers on many of their routes. Sometimes a car hire company or hotel chain sponsors these. Seats can be booked on BA flights up to a year in advance. It really does pay to book early as low fares are limited and sold subject to availability, so this means they are soon snatched up and fares will generally be more expensive the closer you book to your intended departure date.

You can save money on long haul British Airway routes by including a Saturday night and the best way to get the lowest price is to book and buy your tickets online.

You can also check in and print off a boarding passes online and there are check in kiosks at many airports, but be aware that check in times differ from airport to airport. Some smaller airports only require twenty minutes, whereas those operating British Airways long haul routes will require forty-five minutes. There are fast bag drop machines available at many airports to drop off hold luggage, as long as you have already used the self-service check in or have checked-in online.

Europe Holidays – The Most Over-Rated Vacations Ever

Let us begin with their cuisine. Most people believe that food in Europe is gourmet and exclusive, nonetheless, London has been voted by many tourists as the city in Europe with the worst cuisine. Europe’s cuisine is way over-rated, and for that very same reason it is charged more than it is worth.

And while on the subject of prices, it is important to highlight that visiting Europe can be extremely expensive, a fact that is worsened by the current financial crisis. The exchange rate does not benefit those tourists traveling with dollars, especially in London, which is one of the most expensive cities in Europe.

Streets in Europe are dirty, and filled with dog poo. The cities are highly polluted, and since most people in Europe smoke, you will find it very difficult to breathe in clean air. Most buildings are out-dated, and poor looking. In fact, Warsaw, the capital city of Poland, has been voted as the city with the ugliest architecture.

Europe’s crime rate is increasing, and most cities have their own pickpocket armies. So it is very difficult to go for a walk at ease. You have to be very careful, which makes your time in Europe less enjoyable, since you cannot relax. There are also lots of con artists waiting for naive tourists to fall in their traps.

In places like Italy, the laws can be quite different to what you are used to, thus you may end up paying large sums in fines, for doing something that is legal in other places of the world. For example, walking on the streets with an alcoholic beverage is considered to be illegal. Furthermore, sandcastles are illegal in some places of Italy.

Europe is known as one of the most unfriendly places in the world. In some countries, like France, people are not willing to help you, unless you speak their language. People in Europe tend to be cold and distant, and similarly, employees such as hotel receptionists are often rude.

Most European payphones do not have coin slots. They only have calling cards slots. So in the event of an emergency, if you do not have one of these cards, you can be in serious trouble. Plus, payphones are used as public toilets, they are dirty and smelly, and very difficult to find, since there are not many.

So, my advice here is not to believe everything you see on movies or television. You may end up spending lots of money in a glamorous holiday, which may turn out to be a dirty, expensive and unwelcoming experience. If you have high expectations about your European holiday, you will most probably end up being disappointed.
