ABOUT AUTOR I am a traveler, hunter and collector, iron and stone-iron meteorites. My fields of research are planetary geology, impact structures, Earth and solar system development. I am a member of the International Society for Meteoritics and Planetary Science, the IMCA encyclopedia of Meteorites and MetBase. My name is Michal Tomeček and I come from the Czech Republic. My main activity is searching for forgotten or very old iron meteorites and research impact structures.
BASIC TERMINOLOGY
What is a meteorite? The meteorite is generally understood as a natural extraterrestrial body that hit the Earth's surface, it survived the passage through the atmosphere. This body may be either an asteroid, meteoroid or comet. The difference between asteroids and meteoroids is in their size and by the asteroid in the atmosphere does not lose its original speed or mass, struck the earth creates an impact crater, while a meteoroid that is in the earth's atmosphere is changing, meteor * may be in the atmosphere to evaporate all or most its initial mass and its original speed is sufficiently slowed by friction with air molecules, so that in the final phase of flight atmosphere free fall. Upon landing on Earth we call it a meteorite.
* Meteor: It is a term denoting lighting effect linked to the entry and movement of meteoroid in the atmosphere. If a meteor brighter than the glow of the brightest planets is called a fireball.

MESOSIDERITES
A brecciated meteorite containing subequal silicate and metallic components; the silicates are dominantly igneous rock fragments.
Petrologic Types:
A1-4
CARBONACEOUS CHONDRITE (C)
A major class of chondrites that mostly have Mg/Si ratios near the solar value and oxygen isotope compositions that plot below the terrestrial fractionation line.
CI type Ivuna. The Ivuna (CI) chemical group of carbonaceous chondrites, distinguished by the complete absence of chondrules and refractory inclusions, and high degree of hydration
CM type Mighei. The Mighei (CM) chemical group of carbonaceous chondrites, distinguished by small chondrules and refractory inclusions (0.3 mm), abundant fine-grained matrix (~70 vol%), and abundant hydrated minerals.
CO type Ornans. The Ornans (CO) chemical group of carbonaceous chondrites, distinguished by small chondrules and refractory inclusions (<0.2 mm) occupying about half the volume of the rock, and generally showing a low degree of aqueous alteration.
CV type Vigarano - CVₒₓᴀ type Allende - CVₒₓᴃ type Bali - CVᴿᴱᴰ reduced. Vigarano (CV) chemical group of carbonaceous chondrites, distinguished by large (mm-sized) chondrules, many of which are surrounded by igneous rims, large refractory inclusions and abundant matrix (40 vol%); CV chondrites may be divided into oxidized and reduced subgroups.
CK type Karoonda. The Karoonda (CK) chemical group of carbonaceous chondrites, distinguished by abundant fine-grained matrix (~75 vol%), mm-sized chondrules that lack igneous rims, relatively few refractory inclusions, and a high degree of oxidation; most CK chondrites have been metamorphosed to type 4 or higher.
CR type Renazzo. The Renazzo (CR) chemical gorup of carbonaceous chondrites, distinguished by large, abundant porphyritic chondrules (0.7 mm, 50 vol%), many of which have igneous rims, few refractory inclusions, abundant metal (5-8 vol%), and fine-grained matrix that is commonly hydrated (up to 50 vol%).
CH type ALHA 85085. The high-metal (CH) chemical group of carbonaceous chondrites, similar to Allan Hills 85085; CH chondrites have tiny chondrules and refractory inclusions (~0.02 mm), abundant metal (~20 vol%), no fine-grained matrix except as xenolithic clasts, and rare sulfides consistent with overall low volatile element contents. It is uncertain whether members of the group are true chondrites, as they may have formed slightly later in solar system history.
CB type Bencubbin - CBᴬ - CBᴮ. Bencubbin-like (CB) association of carbonaceous chondrites. The CBa subgroup is distinguished by cm-sized chondrule-like objects, abundant metal (>half the volume), no fine-grained matrix, and almost no refractory inclusions. The CBb subgroup contains small chondrules (0.2 - 1 mm), abundant metal (~70 vol%), and some refractory inclusions. It is uncertain whether any or all CB meteorites are true chondrites, as they may have formed slightly later in solar system history.
Petrilogic Types:
TYPE 1: Designates chondrites which have experienced a high degree of aqueous alteration. Most primary minerals have been replaced by secondary phases and chondrules are generally absent.
TYPE 2: Designates chondrites which are characterized by abundant hydrated minerals and abundant fine-grained matrix; chondrules are present; sulfides are Ni-bearing
TYPE 3: Designates chondrites that are characterized by abundant chondrules, low degrees of aqueous alteration, and unequilibrated mineral assemblages. Many of the low-Ca pyroxene grains are monoclinic and exhibit polysynthetic twinning. The type 3 chondrites may be divided into subtypes ranging from 3.00 (least metamorphosed) to 3.9 (nearly metamorphosed to type 4 levels). If primary igneous glass occurs in the chondrules, it belongs to type 3.
TYPE 4: Designates chondrites that are characterized by abundant chondrules, and have been metamorphosed under conditions sufficient to homogenize olivine compositions and recrystallize fine-grained matrix. Some of the low-Ca pyroxene grains may be monoclinic and exhibit polysynthetic twinning. Primary igneous chondrule glass is absent.
ORDINARY CHONDRITE (OC)
A major class of chondrites, distinguished by sub-solar Mg/Si and refractory/Si ratios, oxygen isotope compositions that plot above the terrestrial fractionation line, and a large volume percentage of chondrules, with only 10-15 vol% fine-grained matrix.
Petrologic Types distinguishing characteristics
H H3-7 The high-iron (H) chemical group of ordinary chondrites, distinguished by their high siderophile element content, relatively small chondrules (~0.3 mm), and oxygen isotope compositions that are closer to the terrestrial fractionation line than those of other ordinary chondrites.
L L3-7 The low-iron (L) chemical group of ordinary chondrites, distinguished by their relatively low siderophile element content, moderate sized chondrules (~0.7 mm), and oxygen isotope compositions that intermediate between H and LL group ordinary chondrites.
LL LL3-7 The low-iron, low metal (LL) chemical group of ordinary chondrites, distinguished by their low siderophile element content, fairly large chondrules (~0.9 mm), and oxygen isotope compositions that are further above the terrestrial fractionation line than those of other ordinary chondrites.
ENSTATITE
A major class of chondrites that mostly have sub-solar Mg/Si and refractory/Si ratios, oxygen isotope compositions that plot near the terrestrial fractionation line, and highly reduced mineral assemblages (containing little FeO, Si-bearing metal, and sulfides of elements normally considered lithophile).
EH EH3-7 The high-iron (EH) chemical group of enstatite chondrites, distinguished by small chondrules (0.2 mm), abundant metal (~10 vol%) that is rich in Si (~3 wt%), and an extremely reduced mineral assemblage including niningerite (MgS) and perryite (Fe-Ni silicide).
EL EL3-7 The low-iron (EL) chemical group of enstatite chondrites, distinguished by moderately large chondrules (0.6 mm), abundant metal (~10 vol%) that is Si-bearing (~1 wt%), and an extremely reduced mineral assemblage containing ferroan alabandite ((Fe,Mn)S).
R- chondrites
Rumuruti R3-6 The Rumuruti (R) group of chondrites does not clearly belong to any of the major classes of chondrites (ordinary, carbonaceous, enstatite); R chondrites have sub-solar Mg/Si and refractory/Si ratios, oxygen isotope compositions that plot above the terrestrial fractionation line and ordinary chondrites, and highly oxidized mineralogy. Come from an asteroid's regolith.
K - chondrites
Kakangari K A grouplet of chondrites with similarities to Kakangari which do not fit into the major classes of chondrites such as carbonaceous, ordinary, or enstatite.
An ungrouped chondrite that has not or can not be assigned to one of the major classes like carbonaceous chondrites or ordinary chondrites.
A meteorite that has lost its chondritic texture due to heating and partial melting, but still has nearly chondritic composition.
Acaulcoites: Acapulcoites, named after the Acapulco, Mexico, fall of 1913, and lodranites, named after the Lodran, Pakistan, fall of 1868, are closely related, equigranular meteorites; acapulcoites are finer grained than lodranites and contain rare, relict chondrules, and there are transitional meteorites between the two types (e.g., EET 84302, GRA 95209). Mineral assemblages are similar to, but distinct from those of ordinary chondrites. Compositions are subchondritic, with lodranites showing a higher degree of fractionation.
Winonaites: Winonaites, named after the Winona, Arizona, find of 1928, are equigranular rocks, some of which may contain relict chondrules, that have mineralogy and composition that are similar to chondrites.The mineral assemblage is more reduced than that of H chondrites. Winonaites are related to the silicate inclusions found in IAB complex irons.
Lodranites: The Lodran meteorite is described as having roughly equal amounts of metal, olivine and pyroxene which make up most of the volume. Other minerals include sulphide, chromite, phosphide and chrome-diopside.
Brachinites: Brachinites, named after Brachina, a meteorite found in Australia in 1974, are olivine-rich achondrites that are relatively close to chondrites in many compositional properties, and so are frequently considered to be primitive achondrites. Their true origin is still an open question and not all brachinites may share the same origin
Ungrouped: Describes meteorites which have been well-enough characterized to determine that they do not fit into any of the established groups.
Martian meteorites are martian rocks that were ejected from Mars by impacts and later fell to the Earth as meteorites. Three well-known types are shergottites (basaltic to lherzolitic igneous rocks, named after the Shergotty, India, fall of 1865), nakhlites (clinopyroxenites or wehrlites, formed as cumulate rocks, and named after the Nakhla, Egypt, fall of 1911), and chassignites (dunitic cumulate rocks named after the Chassigny, France, fall of 1815).
Shergottitesa: Mrtian meteorite belonging to the shergottite type.
Nakhlites: Martian meteorite belonging to the nakhlite type.
Chassignitesa: Martian meteorite belonging to the chassignite typ.
Martian BB: A martian meteorite that is a breccia dominantly composed of basaltic clasts; this martian meteorite is not assigned to the shergottite, nakhlite, or chassignite types.
ALHA84001 OPX: An orthopyroxene-rich martian meteorite; this martian meteorite is not assigned to the shergottite, nakhlite, or chassignite types.
Aubrites: Aubrites, named after the Aubres, France, fall of 1836, are enstatite achondrites. Most are breccias (Shallowater being a notable exception) containing igneous and impact-melted clasts. Like enstatite chondrites, aubrites have highly reduced mineralogy, but they probably do not come from the same parent asteroid as either EH or EL chondrites.
Urelites: Ureilites, named after the Novo-Urei, Russia, fall of 1886, are ultramafic achondrites that contain interstitial carbon as graphite or diamond. The majority consist of olivine + uninverted pigeonite. In a few, the pyroxene is augite and/or orthopyroxene instead. In addition, about 10% of ureilites are polymict breccias, containing a few percent of feldspathic material in addition to typical ureilitic components.
Eucrites -Eucrites are the most abundant type of basaltic achondrite, linked by geochemical traits such as oxygen isotopic ratios and certain elemental ratios, of which Fe/Mn is the most widely cited. The main minerals in eucrites are Fe-rich pyroxene and Na-poor plagioclase. The eucrites are strongly linked with the diogenites and howardites; the three groups are collectively known as HED meteorites and may come from asteroid 4 Vesta.
Diogenites: Diogenites are an abundant type of achondrite, linked by geochemical traits such as oxygen isotopic ratios and certain elemental ratios, of which Fe/Mn is the most widely cited. The dominant mineral in diogenites is orthopyroxene. The diogenites are strongly linked with two other achondrite groups: eucrites and howardites; the three groups are collectively known as HED meteorites and may come from asteroid 4 Vesta.
Howardites: Howardites are an abundant group of polymict-breccia achondrites that appear to represent mixtures of eucrites + diogenites (these three linked groups are collectively known as HED meteorites and may come from asteroid 4 Vesta). The main minerals in howardites are pyroxene (largely orthopyroxene) and Na-poor plagioclase. A minority of howardites are rich in solar-wind noble gases and thus inferred to be regolith breccias
Dunite: Dunite is an igneous, plutonic rock, of ultramafic composition, with coarse-grained or phaneritic texture. The mineral assemblage is greater than 90% olivine, with minor amounts of other minerals such as pyroxene, chromite, magnetite, and pyrope. Dunite is the olivine-rich end-member of the peridotite group of mantle-derived rocks. Dunite and other peridotite rocks are considered the major constituents of the Earth's mantle above a depth of about 400 kilometers. Dunite is rarely found within continental rocks, but where it is found, it typically occurs at the base of ophiolite sequences where slabs of mantle rock from a subduction zone have been thrust onto continental crust by obduction during continental or island arc collisions (orogeny). It is also found in alpine peridotite massifs that represent slivers of sub-continental mantle exposed during collisional orogeny. Dunite typically undergoes retrograde metamorphism in near-surface environments and is altered to serpentinite and soapstone.
Angrites: Angrites, named after the Angra dos Reis, Brazil, fall of 1869, are a relatively rare type of basaltic achondrite with low alkali contents, high Ca/Al ratios, and a distinctive mineral assemblage, generally including Al-Ca-Ti-rich pyroxene, Ca-rich plagioclase, and Ca-rich olivine that may have exsolved the mineral kirschsteinite.
Lunar meteorites are lunar rocks that were ejected from the Moon by impacts and later fell to the Earth as meteorites
Feldspathic breccias: Feldspathic breccias Lunar meteorite that is a breccia of primarily feldspathic lithologies
.Basaltic: Basaltic Lunar meteorite that is primarily basaltic.
Polymict: Polymict Lunar meteorite that is primarily anorthositic.
Gabbro: Gabbro Lunar meteorite that is primarily gabbroic.
METACHONDRITES
Relict meteorites
relict meteorite: A highly altered object that may have a meteoritic origin. These are dominantly (>95%) composed of secondary minerals formed on the body on which the object was found.

It has been a rather long while since the last give-away I received. Actually, the whole experiment hasn't been as vibrant as I had imagined, but hey, that's what experiments are for. Tor prove or disprove. In my case, the hypothesis of the thousand give-aways turning me into a rich man has been definitely disproven. Mainly because I give people angry looks when they approach me. Hell, someone could be trying to hand me 10,000 € in cash, and I'd never know. On the other hand, looking interested in each and everyone approaching me would probably turn me either into a homeless or a madman. Or quite possibly both.
Only when I unpacked it I noticed that it was microwave popcorn. I don't own a microwave, and my anti-social tendencies have provided me with a rather low number of friends who do own one: zero.
In case you're wondering. "Bob" is a new cell-phone company. Its claim to fame? Very cheap rates and a marketing budget the size of Albania's GDP.

Cultraro_The LH IIIC Period in Arcadia[...].pdf (2.000Mb)
Papers from the Norwegian Institute at Athens [105]
In: Østby, E. (ed.), Ancient Arcadia 2005: 17-33
In the last decades the publication of some important Mycenaean cemeteries in Achaea and Elis has revealed the presence of several bronze artefacts which show close affinities with the Late Bronze Age metalworking in the Western Mediterranean. The aim of this paper is to investigate the archaeological evidence related to the LH IIIC period in Arcadia, where some significant data could be connected with the Late Bronze Age of Southern Italy. The archaeological record examined includes a bronze sword from Palaikastro belonging to the much-discussed Naue II category, and a group of violin-bow fibulae and bronze pins, which show strong parallels with the Terramare culture and northern Adriatic metallurgical workshops. Finally, to close this picture of relations beween Arcadia and the Italian peninsula, we can mention the evidence from Punta Meliso (Apulia, Italy), where diagnostic Mycenaean pottery includes a type of belly-handled amphora which was very popular in Achaea and Arcadia during LH IIIB2 and IIIe.

Australia: S&P/ASX 200 (.AXJO) Support at 6000
By HEFFX Australia on October 9, 2018 Comments Off on Australia: S&P/ASX 200 (.AXJO) Support at 6000
Australian shares are poised to edge lower at the open, as shares on Wall Street failed to hold early gains. ASX futures were down 6 points at 7.45am AEDT. The Australian dollar edged above the US71¢ mark, defying expectations of a retreat.
Focus remains squarely to the downside, where the significant 50% retracement lurks ominously, at 6003. If that gives way the index would be in serious trouble from the bullish perspective with the path from those March lows in the 6600 region barred by very few obvious areas of likely lasting support.
Much may depend on whether the index can hold up above the psychologically crucial 6000 level, now only 40 points or so away to the downside. The ASX has managed to hold above that for five months, which is only about half the time it managed at such altitudes during the last serious foray up here, back in 2007/8.
By the way, prices are vulnerable to a correction towards 6,158.61.
The projected upper bound is: 6,131.80.
The projected lower bound is: 5,940.83.
The projected closing price is: 6,036.32.
A big black candle occurred. This is bearish, as prices closed significantly lower than they opened. If the candle appears when prices are "high," it may be the first sign of a top. If it occurs when prices are confronting an overhead resistance area (e.g., a moving average, trendline, or price resistance level), the long black candle adds credibility to the resistance. Similarly, if the candle appears as prices break below a support area, the long black candle confirms the failure of the support area.
During the past 10 bars, there have been 5 white candles and 5 black candles. During the past 50 bars, there have been 21 white candles and 29 black candles for a net of 8 black candles.
The RSI shows overbought (above 70) and oversold (below 30) areas. The current value of the RSI is 32.57. This is not a topping or bottoming area. A buy or sell signal is generated when the RSI moves out of an overbought/oversold area. The last signal was a sell 76 period(s) ago.
The CCI shows overbought (above 100) and oversold (below -100) areas. The current value of the CCI is -255.This is an oversold reading. However, a signal isn't generated until the indicator crosses above -100. The last signal was a buy 3 period(s) ago.
The Moving Average Convergence/Divergence indicator (MACD) gives signals when it crosses its 9 period signal line. The last signal was a sell 1 period(s) ago.
S&P/ASX 200 closed down -59.200 at 6,041.100. Volume was 3% below average (neutral) and Bollinger Bands were 17% narrower than normal.
6,100.3006,101.8006,033.6006,041.100 557,132,864
Long Term: Bearish
Close: 6,152.89 6,227.75 6,081.34
Volume: 531,733,568 587,072,000 560,757,248
S&P/ASX 200 is currently 0.7% below its 200-period moving average and is in an downward trend. Volatility is extremely high when compared to the average volatility over the last 10 periods. There is a good possibility that volatility will decrease and prices will stabilize in the near term. Our volume indicators reflect volume flowing into and out of .AXJO at a relatively equal pace (neutral). Our trend forecasting oscillators are currently bearish on .AXJO and have had this outlook for the last 23 periods.

Best Western Hotels & Resorts has signed a license agreement on a new beachfront resort in Phu Quoc, the island off Vietnam's south coast. In July, Best Western signed a license agreement with Vietnam's CEO Group for the new Best Western Premier Sonasea Phu Quoc on the coast of the Gulf of Thailand. The 565-guestroom hotel and resort is scheduled to open in January 2019.
Vietnam Development
(Bangkok – August 24, 2017) Best Western Hotels & Resorts has revealed plans to launch a spectacular new beachfront resort in Phu Quoc, the stunning tropical island off Vietnam's South Coast. On July 20, 2017, Best Western signed a license agreement with Vietnam's CEO Group for the brand new Best Western Premier Sonasea Phu Quoc - a beautiful upscale property scheduled to open in January 2019. Nestled on a prime plot of beachfront land on the island's pristine West Coast. Best Western Premier Sonasea Phu Quoc will overlook the glistening waters of the Gulf of Thailand. The hotel will offer 565 contemporary rooms, all equipped with balconies, upscale facilities and the latest technology, including complimentary Wi-Fi. Additionally, many of the rooms will offer views of the golden beaches, turquoise seas and beyond.
The tropical layout of the resort will also include a series of impressive villas running alongside the freeform outdoor pools, which stretch down from the main resort building to the beach. For honeymooners, groups and special occasions, these villas provide the perfect place to unwind in luxurious style and comfort. Guests will also be able to enjoy delectable local and international cuisine at the restaurants, sip sundown drinks at the bars, work out at the high-tech fitness center, or simply kick back, relax and soak up the sun on the resort's private beach.
"Phú Quốc Island is one of Asia's most desirable up-and-coming resort destinations, and we are delighted to enter this prime tourist market with such a fantastic resort," said Olivier Berrivin, Best Western's Managing Director of International Operations – Asia. "Modern, stylish and commanding a prime location, Best Western Premier Sonasea Phu Quoc represents the new era of Best Western Hotels & Resorts in Asia.
"Vietnam's tourism industry is experiencing incredible growth. Having welcomed a record ten million international arrivals in 2016, the country continues to surge in popularity among tourists from across the world. With its unspoilt beaches, fast-developing infrastructure and relaxed visa regulations, Phu Quoc is at the forefront of this growth. "We look forward to following the development of Best Western Premier Sonasea Phu Quoc in the months ahead, and to welcoming our first guests to this spectacular new resort in 2019," Olivier added.
Vietnam's answer to Bali, Hawaii or Phuket, Phu Quoc Island attracted over 550,000 visitors in the first quarter of 2017, which represents a remarkable increase of more than 80% compared to same period last year. This included 139,000 overseas visitors, up 53% year-on-year. The island already features a wealth of attractions, including the Vinpearl safari and amusement parks, Cua Temple, Ho Quoc Pagoda, and a series of natural wonders such as golden beaches, verdant forests and spectacular waterfalls. Snorkeling is a major draw for visitors, and an impressive new cable car attraction is also being developed, connecting Phu Quoc with its neighboring island, Hon Thom. And with 250 investment projects worth approximately $14 billionUSD earmarked for the island, including an expanded international airport, Phu Quoc's star will continue rising in the coming years.

Q: What is the best/proper configuration? (javascript SOAP) I need to retrieve data from a web service (via SOAP) during a nightly maintenance process on a LAMP server. This data then gets applied to a database. My research has returned many options and I think I have lost sight of the forest for the trees; partially because of the mix of client and server terms and perspectives of the articles I have read.
Initially I installed node.js and node-soap.  I wrote a simple script to test functionality:
var soap = require('/usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/soap');
var url = "https://api.authorize.net/soap/v1/Service.asmx?WSDL";
soap.createClient(url, function(err, client)
{
  if(typeof client == 'undefined')
  {
    console.log(err);
    return;
  }
  console.log('created');
});

This uses a demo SOAP source and it works just fine. But when I use the actual URL I get a 5023 error:
[Error: Invalid WSDL URL: https://*****.*****.com:999/SeniorSystemsWS/DataExportService.asmx?WSDL
Code: 503
Response Body: Http/1.1 Service Unavailable ]

Accessing this URL from a browser returns a proper WSDL definition. I am told by the provider that the 503 is due to a same-origin policy violation. Next, I researched adding CORS to node.js.  This triggered my stepping back and asking the question: Am I in the right forest? I'm not sure. So, I am looking for a command-line, SOAP capable, CORS app (or equivalent) configuration. I am a web developer primarily using PHP and Javascript, so Javascript is where I turned first, but that is not a requirement. Ideas? Or, is there a solution to the current script error (the best I think I have found is using jQuery in node.js which includes CORS)

A: Most likely, this error belongs to your website server.
Please go through this link, it might be helpful.
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findbyerrormessage/a/503error.htm
Also you can open your wsdl in web browser, search for soap:address location tag under services. And figure out correct url, you are trying to invoke from your script. Directly access this url in browser and see what are you getting.

A: I think I have a better approach to the task.  I found over the weekend that PHP has a full SOAP client.  I wrote the same basic login script in PHP and it runs just fine.  I get a valid authentication code in the response to loginExt (which is required in further requests), so it looks like things are working.  I will comment here after verifying that I can actually use the web service.

Hey guys – as promised, I will finally answer the great question today: What is the great secret of perpetual travelers?
What do they know that other people don't? How can they afford to go on what seems to be a never-ending vacation, when everybody else can hardly even pay the bills back home, slaving away in an office building or a factory for decades?
This is really a good question, and it's one that had me stumped for years. Before I hit the road, I had no idea how I was even going to afford my own car, leave alone the gasoline and the car insurance… how could I ever hope to travel very far from my home town for a long time, leave alone roam the entire planet for years on end? It seemed impossible.
On the other hand, now that I know how to do it, I sometimes wonder why isn't everybody doing this? And even though in all honesty, I'm not going to tell you that it is the easiest thing in the world, it is definitely very doable and there are a million ways to pull it off. I'm going to share some of these ways with you today.
I'm going to start with the most obvious job you can do abroad, especially given that you're studying this website and fluent enough to read my articles, this might be a very viable option for you. In most countries in the world, there is a very high demand for English teachers.
Of course that's not a job you can do in places like Australia or Singapore, where English is the official language, but it's always an option in 90% of countries in the world and in some cases, it pays VERY well.
This is one of my favorite ways to travel the world and get paid for it – can you imagine cruising around the five oceans, sunbathing on the deck of a luxurious ocean liner, and hopping off at every paradise beach you can think of. All while getting paid for it?
It's really amazing, but I have to give you a fair warning – some jobs on cruise ships are better than others. Waiters, mechanics and chamber maids usually work 12 to 13 hours a day… entertainers, musicians, librarians, dancers and photographers, on the other hand, have a lot of free time.
Just about any place you might want to visit on your travels is bound to have hotels and restaurants and those kinds of venues always need staff. Just like teaching English, this one is pretty much a guaranteed job anywhere in the world if you're willing to do the work.
Jobs include waiter, cook, barman, doorman, concierge, bell boy, receptionist and many, many more. If you speak languages, you will find a job in this industry without any further qualifications.
This is one of the most fun jobs I've ever had in my life. It essentially consists in partying all night, getting your drinks for free and talking to as many people as possible to get them into your club.
This is also another job where it's very helpful to speak languages, but if you're the extroverted type and like meeting new people, it's a great way to get paid – not only to travel, but you actually get paid to party. Simply talk to club managers and ask if they need someone to promote.
Similar to work on a cruise ship, you don't just make money at your destination, but you actually get paid to move from place to place. I have friends who have seen the whole world working in this job, and while they said that it can be stressful sometimes with layovers and over-night flights, it always sounds like it is a blast when they describe it.
This is going to sound crazy, but – in the first world, blue collar work can often pay very well. One of the highest paying jobs I've ever had was working the assembly line in a car factory. I've also met many travelers who made a fortune working as carpenters or brick layers in Australia, New Zealand and Canada and if you're really up for some rough physical work, you can join an oil rig or a fishing boat. It's tough labor and not for the faint of heart, but the cash makes it all worth it.
This is one of the most popular jobs in the most beautiful destinations in the world. Places like South East Asia, Egypt, the Caribbean and thePacificIslands have dive spots like right out of National Geographic magazine. If you get your PADI qualification as a Dive Instructor, you can live there and get paid to dive.
The above are some of the most popular ways to make money on the road, but there are many, many more – these are just to give you some ideas and inspiration. In future articles, I will talk about each one of these jobs in more detail, and explain where you can find them, how much they pay and what countries offer the best opportunities in each of these fields.
Thanks for reading guys; I hope I was able to shed some light on some of the secrets of Perpetual Travelers and modern-day nomads… And as always, feel free to join the discussion on the forum or leave me a comment below if you have any questions.
Hey, Frank! Thanks again for another article. I guess I'm doing the right thing: studying Linguistics and planning to become an English teacher and/or translator. These two jobs have always been my first options since I was a teenager. I hope everything will work out properly! Keep on writing your great articles; they give us very valuable tips. Cheers!
Hey Giovana… yeah, if you want to travel the world, linguistics is a great field to be working in. There are all kinds of opportunities for people who speak languages… in just about every country in the world. I can't count how many times somebody hired me just because I speak languages… I'm sure you'll do fine, and feel free to get in touch if you have any questions!
Great! Tks for sharing some of your experiences!!
Great article! Very nice to know that there are many and different options to work and keeping to travel.
But I have a doubt about this expression that you've used in the item about Carpentry and other Crafts: 'blue collar work'. What does it mean?
Now I get it! Very good this article about colours.
You have no idea how positive an impression your article made on me! So well-written from beginning to end, and packed with highly relevant information, I'm sure everyone who can understand it (because it is written in English) will be able to profit a lot from it. Awesome! Wonderful! Though I have a steady job, I've often thought about teaching English abroad. Maybe I'll try to do that on my next vacation? Who knows? I'm looking forward to getting information about how much an English teacher can earn! There are other jobs which interest me as well, such as librarian — I love books, of course! Dealing with them — and with readers — all day must be very nice!
I can hardly wait for your next article! Man, the way you write (so interestingly and correctly) makes me want to read more and more of what your articles!
Please write more and more. I'm sure you're making many English teachers very happy! Keep it up!
Hey João, wow… thanks for your compliments, you're making me blush haa. :) Yeah, chances are if you go abroad to work as an English teacher on your vacation, it might end up being a very long vacation indeed. I know a lot of people who left their home country with the intention of going back two weeks later, but who have now been abroad for years because they found work in a language school. Pay varies greatly but is rarely less than 15$ an hour and often up to 60 or 70$ an hour… that's US dollars, just as an international point of reference.
In my previous comment, please read "more and more of your articles" instead of "more and more of what your articles". Sorry for that!
Thanks Frank, you have told me everything that i needed! i think about it every single day, no kidding, this is what my heart is telling me now!
Congratulations for your amazing articles, they're so useful and thank you for inspiriting me!
Hey Bruno, you're welcome my friend. It's really good to hear that these articles are helping people out. Stay tuned, there's a lot more where that came from. ;) And yes… if your heart is telling you to travel, then I think that's what you should do. No question.
Por ser nova no estudo da lingua inglesa, ainda não tenho tanto dominio assim para escrever meu breve comentário em ingles, mas não poderia de dizer como seu artigo abriu minha mente para um desejo que tinha a decadas mas não sabia como realiza-lo. Estou feliz em saber que estou no caminho certo, e este é o estuda da lingua inglesa!! Por favor continue nos passando suas experiencias, são de grande ajuda e servem de balizadores também para aqueles que tem este sonho de viajar sem data de retorno…Um grande abraço e fica o Senhor Jesus!!!!
Wow! Your text made me euphoric just by thinking about living this way. And I hope to do so soon.
Tell me about your travels when you take off!
Great article! For now, im studyng marine biology and making diving courses. I really want to be a dive instructor or a divemaster and work in a foreign country. But, my problem is that my english is not very well. Im good in spanish but my i think i need to learn and practice more my english.
I will wait for yours tips in the next article, and if you can write more about the dive carrer i will still happy.
Hey Victor, thanks for your kind words! And don't underestimate your English… you may not be ready to work as a language teacher yet, but you're certainly good enough to work as a dive instructor. Most of your clients will be from all over the world anyway, and only a handful of them will be native speakers… and even those tend to be very forgiving. :) Don't be intimidated… and definitely don't let this be a reason to postpone your trip. Remember, the PERFECT time to travel never comes, but you can (almost) always go NOW… or at least, very soon. You're ready… your English is good enough for that job.
Luís, thanks for your comment, glad you enjoyed the articles so far. :) You ask about visas and that's really a good question. I'm going to dedicate an entire article to that topic shortly. As far as insurances go, It depends – do you want to travel for one year or less, or do you want to roam the world forever? For your first year, your best bet is to talk to an international travel insurance in your home country. Two providers of international health insurance that I haven't personally used but that many people have recommended to me are worldnomads.com and sevencorners.com.
Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. I would like to know what " right out of " mean. I didnt find a meaning that could match up with the rest of the sentence.
Thank you in advance and congrutulation for your sucessful life.
To work as a translator in a tour or sightseeing. More than once, people asked me to help to understand the guide or the exhibitor. I never charged, because it wasn´t my target, but I think it could work if you need to support your perpetual trip.
Excellent idea Sandro, thanks for your comment!
If I had had the chance to hear those tips 40 years ago…. Life would have been sooooo different… Going back to those days, I can see now how insecure I was. I was so inexperient. Now that I am 58, I feel frustrated and wish I could have experimented life more.
Sometimes I ask myself how useful speaking English could have been if I had tried living in an English speaking country. Nowadays I am retired and have a husband who love travelling and we would love to spend 2 our 3 months abroad and rent a flat to have the experience we did not have when we were young. Any tips or possibilities for us?
Hello Fátima, you know what they say in the commercials… it's never too late and rarely too early. :) Your English is obviously pretty good now, so that's going to help a lot… and since you're already retired, you have TIME… the most precious resource in the world!
Thanks very much again, Frank, for your interest and answer. That´s very kind of you! I don´t know what I´ll be able to do, for while I´m studying English in Dublin and I have a Brazilian insurance. I´ll check out those you told me. Thanks for while, I´m looking forwards to reading your next post. Hugs!!
You're most welcome mate, if you have any further questions, just let me know… always glad to help. :) Cheers!
First foremost, Thank's to share your experience with us!
have a period to work in this countries, but after some months you need go out to another country, or some countryes you can stay working long period without problen? For exemple, in my case, I just can get a work visa in Canada or Australia if I study there first, I now that it depends where you are from, but do you know How it works?
Hey Denis, I just saw your reply, sorry for the delay! I don't know if you've seen it already, but I discuss the visa question in the 5th edition of the series… but feel free to drop by on the forum if you still have any questions after that, I'm always happy to help.

The Moon Is A Lightbulb Breaking: In Memory Of Elliott Smith
From MAGNET Magazine a tribute to Elliott Smith's music by Corey duBrowa:
"Like Elliott Smith - as big a Beatles fan as there probably ever was - I never met John Lennon. I saw Nirvana as many times as most people of my relative age and musical proclivities (maybe even a few more, since I was practically in their backyard when the band and grunge 'broke'), but Kurt Cobain was always more of a generational icon to me than any kind of tangible presence. I was living in New York when Jeff Buckley emerged fully formed from his residency at Sin-e to go on to critical acclaim and superstardom. But standing several rows back from the stage in a Manhattan nightclub was as close as I ever got to him.
Elliott Smith, on the other hand, was decidedly real to me. Human. Humble. Flawed. Generous. Opinionated. Fragile. He was all of these things (and a good deal more) to countless others as well."

Yahoo Entertainment
Samantha Bee will not be fired from TBS, despite outrage over calling Ivanka Trump the C word
Just days after Roseanne Barr's show was canceled because of a racist tweet she posted, comedian Samantha Bee was in jeopardy of losing her show due to an off-color comment she made — or at least that's what some people on the internet petitioned. The outrage, however, didn't work.
Full Frontal host Samantha Bee took some heat for her harsh commentary Wednesday night about first daughter Ivanka Trump. During a segment regarding the United States' current practice of separating immigrant children from their parents this week, Bee referenced Trump and called her the nastiest of words.
"You know, Ivanka," the host said, looking into the camera, "that's a beautiful photo of you and your child, but let me just say, one mother to another, do something about your dad's immigration practices you feckless c***!"
Bee has since apologized for her remark, tweeting: "I would like to sincerely apologize to Ivanka Trump and to my viewers for using an expletive on my show to describe her last night. It was inappropriate and inexcusable. I crossed a line, and I deeply regret it."
TBS also released a statement, telling Yahoo Entertainment, "Samantha Bee has taken the right action in apologizing for the vile and inappropriate language she used about Ivanka Trump last night. Those words should not have been aired. It was our mistake too, and we regret it."
While many likened Bee's C word comment to Roseanne Barr's racist tweet about former Obama aid Valerie Jarrett, the end result was not the same. Bee kept her show and her job, despite a slew of conservative critics demanding that Bee suffer the same fate as Barr.
The White House even demanded that TBS take harsh action against their host. In a statement, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said, "the language used by Samantha Bee last night is vile and vicious. The collective silence by the left and its media allies is appalling. Her disgusting comments and show are not fit for broadcast, and executives at Time Warner and TBS must demonstrate that such explicit profanity about female members of this administration will not be condoned on its network."
Several notable conservative leaders also chimed in, including Megyn Kelly of NBC's Today show and former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain.

Labelbox, a collaborative training data platform for machine learning applications, today announces a Series A round of $10 million in capital led by Gradient Ventures, Googles AI-focused venture fund, with participation from previous investors Kleiner Perkins, First Round Capital, and angel investor, Sumon Sadhu. Anna Patterson, founder and Managing Partner at Gradient Ventures, VP of Engineering at Google, and Square board member, will join Labelboxs board.
Building great machine learning applications requires a huge amount of high quality labeled training data. Eighty percent of the time spent on developing machine learning is related to data management, which slows innovation and results in long design-build-test cycles. Machine learning workflows do not have standard tooling for labeling data, storing it, debugging models and then continually improving model accuracy. Enter Labelbox. Labelbox is building the best computer vision data labeling and management solution for industrial machine learning applications. Labelbox's vision is to become the default software for machine learning teams to create and manage high-quality training data, in the same way, that GitHub is the default for software engineers.
Labelbox substantially reduces model development times and empowers data science teams to build great machine learning applications. With the new funding, Labelbox will continue to double down on bringing data labeling infrastructure to the machine learning teams with powerful automation, collaboration, and enterprise-grade features. Were excited to work with the team at Gradient Ventures and appreciate their support as we scale our business to meet customer demand, said Manu Sharma, founder and CEO of Labelbox. Were also proud to have incredible investors who have believed in us since the beginning, such as Bucky, Ilya, and Bill from Kleiner Perkins and First Round Capital.
Labelbox experienced significant growth in 2018. Customers include FLIR Systems, Lytx, Airbus, Genius Sports, KeepTruckin and thousands of users worldwide. Numerous machine learning teams use Labelbox to build and optimize models from aquaculture to autonomous driving. With this new funding, the company plans to continue building the best and most comprehensive solution for machine learning teams to create and manage labeled training data for computer vision applications. To do this, Labelbox plans to double its headcount in 2019 by hiring additional talent to fill engineering, sales, marketing, and customer success roles.
Labelbox is well-positioned to fuel the industrialization of machine learning across many sectors, such as manufacturing, transportation, and healthcare. In doing so, they will unlock the potential of AI for companies across the globe, said Anna Patterson, Founder and Managing Partner at Gradient Ventures.
The confluence of accessible GPU compute and deep learning technology has paved the way for companies to build production AI systems. The hard part now is teaching machines to think. Labelbox is the key technology to do just that, enabling AI teams to develop new breakthrough products, said Peter Welinder, advisor to Labelbox and Research Scientist at Open AI.


Is Your Nonprofit Subject to the Employer Shared Responsibility Provisions of the New Health Care Act?
When last we saw the Winter Olympics take place in Vancouver, Canada, Congress was putting the finishing touches on the 2,049 pages of legislation known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) which President Barack Obama signed into law on March 23, 2010. Nearly 4 years later and 5,962 air miles away, Sochi, Russia is hosting the XXII Winter Olympic Games while the United States of America begins to enforce the provisions of PPACA on its constituents.
Even though the U.S. Supreme Court rendered a final decision to uphold the PPACA on June 28, 2012, plans were set in motion to change existing federal laws to comply with every intricate detail. Under PPACA, all nonprofit organizations (NPOs) are considered employers; to date, there are no exceptions. NPOs must evaluate whether they employ more than 50 full-time equivalent (FTE) employees; if so, they are subject to the Employer Shared Responsibility provisions and are required to offer health care coverage to full-time employees (and their eligible dependents).
Individuals with no previous health insurance coverage are mandated to enroll in the public or private exchanges by March 31, 2014. Those individuals are looking for guidance from their NPO employers as to whether health insurance coverage will be provided to the employees before going to the designated marketplaces.
An employee who works more than 30 hours per week meets the statutory definition of full-time employee (at least 1,560 hours per year). Each full-time employee is recorded at 1.00 FTE.
A variable hour employee (VHE): The NPO cannot determine that the employee is reasonably expected to work on average at least 30 hours per week. To determine the FTE fraction, per current guidance, take the total number of hours worked by the VHE for each month and divide by 120 separately; then, take the sum of the fractions and divide by the total months worked in the tax year (up to 12) to produce a weighted average for each VHE; finally, total all of the weighted averages for each VHE to produce total FTEs and add to the full-time employee FTEs (rounded down to nearest whole number).
A seasonal employee: A worker performs labor or services on a seasonal basis, as defined by the Secretary of Labor, including (but not limited to) workers covered by 29 CFR 500.20(s)(1) and retail workers employed exclusively during holiday seasons. Normally, seasonal employees are omitted from the calculation; however, by statute, seasonal employees are not permitted to work more than 4 calendar months in a tax year; otherwise they would be considered VHEs and are subject to the calculation.
Unlike for-profit businesses, NPOs have the ability to solicit and utilize volunteers to carry out their missions. If NPOs, other than public agencies, provide benefits to their volunteers, such as stipends, pensions, housing or other tangible services, those volunteers will be deemed employees and will have to be evaluated for inclusion in the FTE calculation.
Even though the reporting provisions in PPACA for employers (Sections 6055 and 6056) take effect on January 1, 2015, and the first reports are due to the Internal Revenue Service in early 2016, NPOs should react to the changing environment by updating its internal control structure and documenting its position to mitigate the risk of noncompliance.
For additional information, BLS dedicates an entire section of its website, ACA Resource Center, for guidance regarding the PPACA. BLS also established an internal committee to interpret and discuss PPACA issues internally and externally. As always, please direct all questions and comments to your practitioner for clarification as it relates to your specific situation.

In May, the new home market in the GTA saw another increase in the prices of condominium apartments.
The Building Industry and Land Development Association (BILD) announced recently that the sales of condos were hovering around the 10-year average and remaining condo apartment inventory dropped.
The benchmark price for new condominium apartments in low, medium and high-rise buildings, stacked townhouses and loft units rose to $758,370, which was 25.4 per cent above last May, according to Altus Group, BILD's official source for new home market intelligence.
The benchmark price of new single-family homes, including detached, linked and semi-detached houses and townhouses (excluding stacked townhouses), at $1,144,191, was down 6.4 per cent over the last twelve months.
Besides strong demand from new home buyers looking for more affordable options, the continuing increase in condo apartment prices can be partly accounted for by an increase in average unit size to 892 square feet from 814 square feet a year ago, reflecting a demand for family-sized units, and an increase in the average price per square foot to $850 from $743 last year.
As for new single-family homes, "it is doubtful prices will continue to moderate, considering embedded government fees, taxes and charges, and high land costs due to regulatory constraints," said David Wilkes, BILD President & CEO. "Leading up to the October 22 municipal elections, as part of our Build for Growth campaign, we will be putting forward a four-point plan on how municipalities can help tackle the issues of housing supply and affordability in the GTA. We are encouraging residents to send letters calling for action on these issues to their candidates for municipal office." Mr. Wilkes said people can learn more about the Build for Growth campaign.
Condo apartments accounted for 2,003 of the 2,345 total new home sales in May, only one per cent below the ten-year average for condo apartment sales, though still down 47 per cent from May 2017, which saw a record high of 3,766 condominium apartments sold. Single-family home sales, with 342 units sold, were down 33 per cent from last May and down 78 per cent from the 10-year average.
The increase in condominium apartment sales and relatively few openings--only five projects representing 710 units opened in May--meant that remaining inventory for condos was down, at 9,345 units. Condominium apartment remaining inventory includes units in preconstruction projects, in projects currently under construction, and in completed buildings. The remaining inventory for single-family homes increased slightly in May to 4,505 units.

Ground source heat pump (GSHP) is widely studied for building energy efficiency but suffers from soil thermal imbalance and performance deterioration in heating-dominant regions. Photovoltaic (PV) collector is commonly used for renewable energy, but the efficiency is constrained by the PV module temperature. The combination of GSHP and photovoltaic/thermal (PVT) is promising to improve the performance of both individual technologies. A comprehensive review has been conducted to present the state-of-the-art of the hybrid PVT-GSHP, in terms of the principles, configurations, and functions. The basic PVT-GSHP systems are classified into four categories: the hybrid PVT-GSHP with PVT for direct heating, the hybrid PVT-GSHP with PVT for temperature increasing, the hybrid PVT-GSHP with multiple energy sources, and the hybrid-GSHP with energy storage/borehole recharge. These hybrid systems can be further combined to achieve advanced hybrid PVT-GSHP systems with more functions and improved performance. For the hybrid PVT-GSHP with PVT for direct heating, preheating and full heating have been used; the preheating yields a higher PV efficiency while the full heating recovers more heat. The hybrid PVT-GSHP with PVT for temperature increasing is more widely adopted, with both PVT electrical efficiency and GSHP heating efficiency significantly improved. For the hybrid PVT-GSHP with multiple energy sources, the current systems were limited to the integration of an air source heat pump as an additional heat source or a cooling tower as an additional heat sink. The hybrid PVT-GSHP with energy storage/ground recharge received the most intensive investigations owing to the reduced thermal imbalance and thus enhanced long-term performance. While most studies used normal flat-plate PVT, advanced collectors including concentrating PVT, building-integrated PVT, and solar-road PVT have also been studied. To facilitate performance improvement and application promotion, some perspectives on future development are presented: (1) advanced ground heat exchangers, i.e., energy geo-structures including the energy pile, energy wall, and energy tunnel; (2) advanced PVT types, i.e., more involvements in the high-temperature PVT and building-integrated PVT; (3) advanced hybrid systems, including driving sorption chillers, regenerating desiccant dehumidifiers, charging thermal batteries; and (4) optimal design and operation, considering local soil properties (e.g. seepage) and climate conditions through transient modeling. This study can facilitate future research, development, and promotion of the hybrid PVT-GSHP technology towards low-carbon buildings.

Draft Cryptocurrency Tax Law Released in South Africa
Cape Town: Cryptocurrency tax legislation draft has been released in South Africa by the South African Revenue Services (SARS) to define the framework of virtual currency taxation in the country.
SARS issued a press release in April 2018 regarding the cryptocurrency tax legislation draft. There were categorical plans to impose the tax on the earnings from digital currency by the tax agency at that point of time.
The release issued by SARS in April 2018 read, "In South Africa, the word "currency" is not defined in the Income Tax Act (the Act). The digital currencies are neither considered as official South African tender nor widely used or accepted in the country as a medium of payment or exchange. As such, cryptocurrencies are not regarded by SARS as a currency for income tax purposes or Capital Gains Tax (CGT). Instead, cryptocurrencies are regarded by SARS as assets of an intangible nature."
The draft classifies the cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin as subtle assets which are subject to income tax. Once the draft legislation comes into the act, it will become mandatory for the crypto traders or buyers of South Africa to declare the earnings from crypto transactions.
Related: 10 Important Documents Required to File Income Tax Return
VAT Not Imposed on Crypto Transactions
It has also been specified in the draft legislation that there will be no value-added tax (VAT) imposed on the crypto transactions. This has been specified because SARS sees these crypto transactions as different from financial services transactions. With this relaxation, there will be no VAT on purchasing, selling, transfer, ownership, issuing or holding of digital currencies.
Natalie Napier, Partner at the Johannesburg-based Hogan Lovells law firm, explained the draft cryptocurrency tax legislation in a recent conversation with iAfrikan. Talking about the impact of this draft legislation on the crypto market of the country, Napier said that these changes will hardly impact the daily usage of cryptocurrencies.
Napier explained, "For the consumer, the proposal means that the consumer will not have to charge or collect any VAT when undertaking any transaction in respect of any cryptocurrency. The benefit of this is that there will not be any additional VAT charge which would increase the costs associated with transacting with cryptocurrencies."
Napier also said that further alterations are definitely expected so as to rectify the uncertainties.
Despite the presence of elaborate scams, the digital currency industry has prospered in South Africa. If a recent survey is to be believed, still around 38 per cent of South African citizens aspired that they had invested in cryptocurrencies earlier.

In full embarrassing – this shows my age - disclosure, I LOVED this song (And the Partridge Family – plus I had a huge crush on David Cassidy. ) back in the day so maybe that's why I can't stop singing it.
Ha! I've watched that Heart special so many times it doesn't get stuck in my head anymore.
Oh wow. It's been ages!
I stand by that one! There are so many crushes I look back and wonder what I was thinking but he was cute!
haha great song you have here!!! They don't make songs like these any more. Love em.
Surprisingly, I still love it!


And so we come to the end of the road for our dear Ponds and welcome a new companion for The Doctor....soon enough. For now, through the magic of DVD, we can relive those final Pond adventures with the first half of Series 7!
Asylum of the Daleks- The Doctor and company are tricked into a rescue/mission of destruction when insane Daleks threaten to spill into the cosmos. This episode includes a certain female character who had me generating heart bubbles so fast I went dizzy. It's funny, creepy and everything you'd want in a season opener!
Dinosaurs on a Spaceship- The Doctor and Ponds +1 (Rory's Dad) join forces with a big game hunter and ...umm...Queen Nefertiti ..to stop a spacecraft from cashing into Earth. A SPACESHIP FULL OF DINOSAURS!!! It's Jurassic Park in Space with a perfect blend Who wit and charm.
A Town Called Mercy- It's a showdown in the old west where a hulking cyborg is gunning for a certain Doctor. There's surely an axe to grind, so the Doctor and friends must unravel this riddle before innocent folks come under fire....LASER FIRE!! This episode starts off with a bit of silly and becomes tense as it progresses, causing the viewer to ponder moral dilemmas of right and wrong during war time. Though the content is scifi in origin, and vintage WHO, the topic is very relatable in our daily lives.
The Angels Take Manhattan- Those ultra spooky Weeping Angels are at it again, this time invading retro New York City and imposing themselves into a noir-esque mystery that quickly bridges time and space and (without surprise), engulfs the Doctor and Ponds. The trio, joined by River Song, must find a way to expel the Weeping Angels from New York, lest they trap more hapless humans and feed off the temporal anomalies for all eternity. This episode strikes an odd chord. With a greater number and variety of Angels, they become less creepy and lose impact. This loss is balanced by the weight of the content with Rory's life hanging in the balance and a finale as gut wrenching as they come...especially for die hard fans of this newest incarnation of the show! Be prepared for heart ache!
This 2 disk set also includes bonus features with..
Asylum of the Daleks Prequel which has the Doctor having tea with a robed character who acts as sort of Doomsayer. It's a throw away bit, but you'll watch it anyway. The Science of Doctor Who is the gem of the set with actors and comedians providing geeky enthusiasm to the far out scifi concepts of the show and, as counterpoint, real scientists discussing the practicality of these devices. An excellent addition to your collection, to be sure! Pond Life is a quirky series of quickies with our favorite companion couple trying to lead normal lives amid the comings and goings of the Doctor, making their lives complete chaos at every turn. Heeeesterical. The Making of The Gunslinger is a futuristic look into the creation of the cybernetic soldiers from the episode "Town Called Mercy", narrated by the creator IN the show. Super futuristically creepy..sort of the exact opposite of the birth of Robocop. Finally we have Doctor Who at Comic Con, which is exactly what it sounds like. Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill take to the crowded halls of San Diego Comic Con and bring you along for the ride with bits from their panel, interview moments and just walking about taking the the enormity of it all. This cast is very charismatic and this shines through even when they are just being themselves.
While we here at Idle Hands are strong believers in waiting for the complete collection of a season, there is no telling if that set will include things like "The Science of", Pond Life and the Comic Con bits. Surely, a lot of this is available online, so that leaves the choice in your hands. If you want a truly complete collection, you will be getting this. If you can turn against your geeky nature and resist for the 6 months or so it may take for the full set to be released....you go right ahead and make that attempt. To help you make up your mind, you can CLICK HERE and pre-order this set for 40% off!

Millennium Winners Take a Trip
(Clacton, U.K./Tyres & Accessories) Viking International has named the winners of its Millennium competition.
The ultra-high performance Millennium tyre range, launched at the beginning of the year, was introduced alongside an exclusive competition for Viking's business development staff, with the chance to win vouchers towards an exotic holiday destination of their choice.
First prize went to David Le Tall for exceptional sales results, closely followed by runner up, Steve Cockburn. They were presented with their holiday vouchers at the end of March by John Kemp, Managing director for Viking International.
David Le Tall, Viking's business development manager for the South West, has worked with the company for 16 years, and with a wide experience in sales across the country, was pleased to come in first. Steve Cockburn, business development director for Liverpool, has been with Viking for many years and said, as a qualified swimming instructor and all round sports enthusiast, the competition brought out his competitive instinct.
John Kemp commented: "We have been really pleased with the work and achievements of all of our sales staff, but David and Steve in particular went that extra mile in terms of effort and getting results. Hopefully, the vouchers go a little way to showing Viking's appreciation for all their hard work during the Millennium launch."

I'm test running all of my levels in preparation for friends coming over. My eyes are angry with me.
And since I'm writing a basilisk into one of my stories I found myself in a basilisk mood and decided to add them as allies in the Barbarian game. They emit beams of invisible holograms out of their faces, with Tags that cause most enemies to die instantly, so it really looks like they're killing things just by looking at them. Fun.

The friend is a girl, yes. Playing as the balding man that is the original Barbarian didn't sound appealing to her.

Want to be notified of new releases in Divicoin/diviscan-api?
A RESTful API for making RPC calls to the Divi blockchain. Used for the diviscan block explorer.
Other limitations, such as package dependencies may limit developers from exercising the full feature set offered by divid-rpc.
Furthermore, the divid-rpc library still requires the developer to parse the results into usable data after creating methods that function as a developer or user intends.
For this reason, this library of server-side API endpoints was created to allow any request framework to make calls to the public blockchain with ease. Results are easily consumable and provide enough data for a variety of applications to be created.
All endpoints can be retrieved by accessing 'https://api.diviscan.io' or you can host your own using this library.
These endpoints will remain publicly accessible as long as they are not abused. If they are spammed or used for malicious purposes, custom hosting will be required for usage.
Fork this repository and npm install all dependencies.
You will need a full Divi node running on the server where these APIs are hosted in order for the configuration to speak to the daemon.
Run ./divid -reindex -addressindex on startup.
NOTE: You can also add addressindex=1 to your divi.conf file to achieve the same effect. You should always -reindex the node on startup regardless.
Node specific endpoints will only return data based on the node where the API is being hosted.
