Senior citizens are one of the most likely groups to holiday abroad, but it is also this group that can have the most difficulty in getting an affordable deal on travel insurance.
There are insurance companies that specialise in providing cover for the over 65’s, as well as a number of non-specialist policies available that cater for the older traveller.
However, some insurers no longer offer multi-trip annual travel insurance cover to older holiday makers, meaning that the older generation are often excluded from the cheapest travel insurance options available.

The European space industry has a highly successful track record of building and operating satellites, spanning nearly 40 years. In recent years, the strategy has evolved to create larger programmes with greater ambitions than was possible before. This trend has suffered some difficulties, so why are collaborations like Galileo and GMES proving difficult?
Looking under the covers of both programmes reveals that similar challenges have arisen mainly from complexity, demand for products and funding of the development programme, and for the first time, both ESA and the EC have set up satellite programmes designed to compete on the commercial market and have been looking to the private sector to co-fund them.

Most people think rock climbing is a fairly edgy sport just to begin with. In truth, edges mean something entirely different and unique to the sport.
Most people have a misunderstand view of rock climbing from what they see in the movies. You know the movies I am talking about. Ones such as “Cliffhanger” where Sylvester Stallone hangs by his arms and jerks himself to and fro up the mountain for a couple hundred feet. Yeah, I would like to see that!

It feels great when you get money back from using your credit cards. It gives you a reason to use them and you feel as though you are benefitting from shopping as you would anyhow.
Is that really a good thing? Perhaps, perhaps not. That depends on you.
Cash rewards credit cards pay you back a percentage of what you spend on them. Basic purchases generally have up to 1% cash back, while other purchases may get 5% or more back, depending on the terms of the card.
