What is long term life insurance?
Long term life insurance refers to a term life insurance policy that is in effect for a long period of time, usually 15, 20 or 30 years. Term life insurance provides life insurance protection for a specific number of years, usually 1-30 years. A short term life insurance policy may be 1-10 years. A long term life insurance policy may provide coverage for 15-30 or more years. If so, Long Term Care (LTC) coverage varies, but can pay for nursing home, hospice, home health care, "meals on wheels" type of assistance and other needs of the elderly or infirm. With the cost of nursing home care rising every year, it's wise to look into it. Your risks of having an auto claim are a little better than 1 in 200, a homeowners claim is even more remote, but one in two will be in a nursing home. Now that we're living longer, I expect these odds to worsen. I have this coverage, and the monthly premium is about the same cost as I can expect to pay DAILY once I'm in a nursing home. Also, young people who become ill or have tragic accidents are at risk as well, and the earlier you purchase it, the cheaper it is. Term Life Insurance is in essence a temporary contract. This means that this type of insurance will expire after a specified term, usually between 10 to 30 years (though this can vary with individual providers). A long term life insurance policy is one with a coverage of 30 years. Unlike a whole life insurance policy, term life insurance does not accrue any cash value. Due to this, there are lower monthly premiums as you are in effect only paying for the 'pure' insurance, and not using this as an investment or savings. In the event of the insurer's death within the term, the death benefits can be claimed by the beneficiary. Since it offers high death benefits at inexpensive premiums, this type of policy is very popular. The main reasons for choosing a term life insurance policy would be to provide for your family in case of your death, to pay off any debts or mortgages, to cover funeral expenses and any estate taxes, to cover educational loans for your children, and to provide for an aging or retired spouse.

How does wind power effect animals?
What happens to animals before storms roll in or at the onset of winter? Infrasonic sounds could still be the culprit because hurricanes and thunder produce sound waves at those frequencies. But there's also the matter of changes in barometric (air) and hydrostatic (water) pressure.
Normally, these pressures fluctuate slightly. Animals are highly tuned in to any changes beyond those natural fluctuations, which can signal big changes in the weather. These variations can trigger an animal's survival mechanism. The animals' instinctive reaction is to seek shelter in the face of potentially violent weather.
For example, abnormal conditions like hurricanes cause large decreases in air pressure and water pressure (at least in the more shallow depths). Animals exposed and accustomed to certain patterns can quickly sense these changes. And again, similar to the observed behavior of the animals during the tsunami, they flee for safety.
Researchers observed this type of behavior among a group of sharks as they tracked the sharks' movements during Tropical Storm Gabrielle and Hurricane Charlie. After the barometric pressure dropped just a few millibars -- an occurrence that causes a similar change in hydrostatic pressure -- several sharks swam to deeper waters, where there was more protection from the storm [source: Vatalaro].
Birds and bees also appear to sense this drop in barometric pressure and will instinctively seek the cover of their nests or hives. Birds also use their ability to sense air pressure to determine when it's safe to migrate.
And what about long-term predictions, like how harsh winter will be? It seems that groundhogs aren't holding any cards. Hibernation appears to be related to an animal's biological clock and stored-up fat rather than any ability to gauge temperature trends.
There have been interesting proposals about the validity of some animal folklore. Some Native Americans believe black bears choose different sleeping spots in their caves depending on how cold the winter will be, or the fur on a hare's feet will grow fluffier if heavy snows approach. While there's a chance these are simply coincidences, some have pointed out that science is based on observation, and folklore is based on centuries of observation -- although the observations haven't been conducted in controlled circumstances.
In the end, these animal behaviors may not prove all that useful to humans. Animals frequently exhibit behavior changes, and there's no practical way of deciphering whether a change in behavior is related to an impending natural disaster or just a reaction to something completely unrelated.
Also, differences exist between species -- and between individuals of the same species -- in their sensitivity to weather fluctuations. While some animals may be great weather predictors, others within that same species might not get their spidey senses tingling.
But, if you ever find yourself in a forest reminiscent of the stampede scene in "Bambi," you still might want to follow the crowd and tag along at top speed.

The following was the original answer...
The story starts with St. Martin's Church, a tiny parish church. Christian communities already existed in England in the first or second century, but they practised separate from the Church of Rome and paganism still was abundant on the island. In the 6th century St. Martin's became the private chapel of Queen Bertha of Kent. Queen Bertha was a Christian when she arrived in England and her husband King Ethelbert allowed her to continue to practise her religion in an existing church in use in the late Roman period. This church is still in use nowadays, making it the oldest in England.
Not far from St. Martin's are the ruins of St. Augustine Abbey. It was founded in 597 by (Saint) Augustine, who had been sent by Pope Gregory I to England to revive Christianity. The exact site has seen many uses since then, from a Benedictine monastery to a palace to a hospital. It has slowly fallen into disrepair. Its ruins are now locked behind large walls to prevent any further damage.
The number one landmark of course is the Cathedral at the heart of Canterbury's old town. Its origins can be traced back to the time of St. Augustine, although the current building mostly dates from the 11th century. It is the Cathedral of the Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury, the religious leader of the Church of England. In this, it symbolizes the different path Christianity has taken in England (with the abolishment of papal authority by King Henry VIII in 1534). The Cathedral also is acknowledged for its Gothic art, among which are fabulous stained glass windows.
