Always point a gun in a safe direction. Never point the firearm at anything you are not willing to destroy.
This federal agent failed to follow several of the rules. He failed to unload his gun, failed to keep his finger off the trigger, and failed to keep it pointed in a safe direction.

“I personally really love the natural light that we get from the windows and sliding door in the living room. It makes the main living area seem that much bigger. Having an actual laundry room instead of just a laundry closet is nice too. It’s easy to shut the door and hide the dirty laundry when company comes over! Plus, the rooftop deck is pretty great! We love grilling and eating up there or having a glass of wine after the baby goes to bed. I know we’ll really miss the view!”

Since his appearance in La Haine (Hate) in 1993, Vincent Cassel has made a name for himself as one of the most talented and versatile actors of his generation, having switched effortlessly from independent productions like the Mesrine and controversial Irreversible to big budget blockbusters such as Oceans’ Twelve and Thirtheen. To mark the release of his new film Black Swan, where he stars alongside Natalie Portman, Chic-Londres has decided to retrieve its exclusive 2009 London interview with the French star.
You have been honoured by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) which described you as the “golden boy” of French cinema, how do you feel about that? I am not sure I deserve to be described as a “golden boy”, although I am obviously delighted – especially considering how important the Academy is in Britain. I really didn’t expect it to happen, particularly since I am the first Frenchman at this event, which makes it all the more flattering. I knew I had some kind of following in the UK, but the fact that I have been recognised in such a formal way is very reassuring. I need reassurance just like everybody else.
Your wife, the actress and top model Monica Bellucci, lives in London, where you have filmed Elizabeth and Eastern promises: would you consider moving here on a permanent basis? I really feel comfortable in London. I lived here for a while when I was younger, I made several films here and my wife lives here, which obviously means that I spend a lot of time in this city. However, I wouldn’t leave Paris to settle in London full time: if I ever decide to leave Paris, then I will want to leave behind the stress, pollution and traffic jams, so there wouldn’t be much point in coming here to find exactly the same thing.
Which role was the most difficult to play and on which film set have you had the most fun? The most difficult role for me was in Sheitan, because the character was so different from me, and because I had to push the boundaries of acting to the point of ridicule. I had most fun on one of my last films (Les Seigneurs, to be released in 2010), probably because I have been very close to the team for so long: I was in fits of laughter at least twice a day, which is unusual even for me. Generally speaking though, I really have fun on shoots: when I am acting, I feel like a kid in the playground, able to get rid of all my inhibitions. That said, acting in itself can actually be very serious. That’s because immersing yourself into a character can trigger very strong emotions and tension, which I release by laughing a lot. Contrary to what one may think, I actually had a lot of fun on Irreversible, even though the film’s violence makes it so difficult to watch. On the other hand, you don’t necessarily have lots of fun when filming a comedy.
How does it feel to switch from indie films to big blockbusters and is there much difference between theway French and American directors operate on set? People outside the business often imagine film sets in a way that is very different from reality. But in my opinion, there are not that many differences between an indie and a blockbuster: as far as I am concerned as an actor, my work is always the same and I always immerse myself in a role in exactly the same way, whatever the budget. There might be more hierarchy when shooting an American film, but even then, it all depends on the film. The real difference lies in the distribution process, which is much heavier with American films, but that has nothing to do with the acting itself.
You have shot five films with your wife, Monica Bellucci: do you manage to distance yourself from your amily life when on set? I don’t want to distance myself, on the contrary, as our shared experience helps me in my roles. I personally believe that being close to the other actors makes it easier to play alongside them. And incidentally, it is absolutely lovely to be able to share those acting moments with people you love, be it your wife or friends.

Generally, the context in which an individual lives is of great importance for both his health status and quality of their life[18]. It is increasingly recognized that health is maintained and improved not only through the advancement and application of health science, but also through the efforts and intelligent lifestyle choices of the individual and society. According to the World Health Organization, the main determinants of health include the social and economic environment, the physical environment and the person's individual characteristics and behaviors.[19]
Scheduled health insurance plans are not meant to replace a traditional comprehensive health insurance plans and are more of a basic policy providing access to day-to-day health care such as going to the doctor or getting a prescription drug. In recent years[when?], these plans have taken the name "mini-med plans" or association plans. The term "association" is often used to describe them because they require membership in an association that must exist for some other purpose than to sell insurance. Examples include the Health Care Credit Union Association. These plans may provide benefits for hospitalization and surgical, but these benefits will be limited. Scheduled plans are not meant to be effective for catastrophic events. These plans cost much less than comprehensive health insurance. They generally pay limited benefits amounts directly to the service provider, and payments are based upon the plan's "schedule of benefits". As of 2005, "annual benefit maxima for a typical mini scheduled health insurance plan may range from $1,000 to $25,000".[68]
Today, this system is more or less intact. All citizens and legal foreign residents of France are covered by one of these mandatory programs, which continue to be funded by worker participation. However, since 1945, a number of major changes have been introduced. Firstly, the different health care funds (there are five: General, Independent, Agricultural, Student, Public Servants) now all reimburse at the same rate. Secondly, since 2000, the government now provides health care to those who are not covered by a mandatory regime (those who have never worked and who are not students, meaning the very rich or the very poor). This regime, unlike the worker-financed ones, is financed via general taxation and reimburses at a higher rate than the profession-based system for those who cannot afford to make up the difference. Finally, to counter the rise in health care costs, the government has installed two plans, (in 2004 and 2006), which require insured people to declare a referring doctor in order to be fully reimbursed for specialist visits, and which installed a mandatory co-pay of €1 for a doctor visit, €0.50 for each box of medicine prescribed, and a fee of €16–18 per day for hospital stays and for expensive procedures.

Most aspects of private health insurance in Australia are regulated by the Private Health Insurance Act 2007. Complaints and reporting of the private health industry is carried out by an independent government agency, the Private Health Insurance Ombudsman. The ombudsman publishes an annual report that outlines the number and nature of complaints per health fund compared to their market share [10]

The environment is often cited as an important factor influencing the health status of individuals. This includes characteristics of the natural environment, the built environment and the social environment. Factors such as clean water and air, adequate housing, and safe communities and roads all have been found to contribute to good health, especially to the health of infants and children.[19][30] Some studies have shown that a lack of neighborhood recreational spaces including natural environment leads to lower levels of personal satisfaction and higher levels of obesity, linked to lower overall health and well being.[31] This suggests that the positive health benefits of natural space in urban neighborhoods should be taken into account in public policy and land use.
Prolonged sitting is terrible for our bodies. It has been linked to heart disease, diabetes and early death. If you have a desk job, make sure to get up and move frequently even if you have to set your alarm on your smartphone to sound every hour to remind you. “Ten-minute spurts of exercise throughout the day can counteract that risk,” says Gianos.
In addition to safety risks, many jobs also present risks of disease, illness and other long-term health problems. Among the most common occupational diseases are various forms of pneumoconiosis, including silicosis and coal worker's pneumoconiosis (black lung disease). Asthma is another respiratory illness that many workers are vulnerable to. Workers may also be vulnerable to skin diseases, including eczema, dermatitis, urticaria, sunburn, and skin cancer.[60][61] Other occupational diseases of concern include carpal tunnel syndrome and lead poisoning.
A high deductible health insurance plan has higher deductibles and lower premiums than most other health insurance plans. This means you pay a smaller fixed amount every month, but it will take a longer time for insurance to kick in and begin cost-sharing (meaning you will pay your percentage of coinsurance for every bill). You might benefit from this plan if you don’t require many doctor’s visits or other healthcare benefits. Look at quotes for high deductible health insurance plans to figure out if this plan is right for you.
Prescription drug plans are a form of insurance offered through some health insurance plans. In the U.S., the patient usually pays a copayment and the prescription drug insurance part or all of the balance for drugs covered in the formulary of the plan. Such plans are routinely part of national health insurance programs. For example, in the province of Quebec, Canada, prescription drug insurance is universally required as part of the public health insurance plan, but may be purchased and administered either through private or group plans, or through the public plan.[4]
Since the late 1970s, the federal Healthy People Initiative has been a visible component of the United States’ approach to improving population health.[11][12] In each decade, a new version of Healthy People is issued,[13] featuring updated goals and identifying topic areas and quantifiable objectives for health improvement during the succeeding ten years, with assessment at that point of progress or lack thereof. Progress has been limited to many objectives, leading to concerns about the effectiveness of Healthy People in shaping outcomes in the context of a decentralized and uncoordinated US health system. Healthy People 2020 gives more prominence to health promotion and preventive approaches and adds a substantive focus on the importance of addressing social determinants of health. A new expanded digital interface facilitates use and dissemination rather than bulky printed books as produced in the past. The impact of these changes to Healthy People will be determined in the coming years.[14]
