A Reader Response on "Things Fall Apart" and "Apocalypse Now" as Faces of Colonialism
What I Sense
I have heard and read some of the tales pass on to us by our ancestors that concern the sorrowful and melancholic plight that they had experienced in the playful hands of the colonizers. These ancestors cannot necessarily be all the brave Filipino race. They are more than it. They are everywhere: in Africa, in the Americas and in the neighboring Asian sovereigns. So long as histories cry that these people were once colonized, mutilated and tampered by the whites just like the Filipino race, then we are one. The first people who fought for their freedom have the same race. They have the same blood of heroism and patriotism that binds them together as one. We, in the present times are descendants of the same brave and freedom- loving ancestors.
I have seen the horror of the aftermaths of colonialism. I have seen my country continue to suffer even in the midst of its democracy. At this age, I know how terrible it is to be colonized and be abused by these people who think highly of their selves as if they are of the higher culture and race, that they were sent to the places of the "savages" to civilize and make them humans. This can't be denied because the accounts of history and literature don't lie.
Apocalypse Now and Things Fall Apart
I was able to visit two of the most renowned and ageless pieces of arts: one is a film narrated by a representative of the white people entitled Apocalypse Now and the other is a novel scribbled by a representative of the oppressed people entitled Things Fall Apart. Although Apocalypse Now and Things Fall Apart were set in two very different time and location, they never fail to complement their sameness: the desire to expose the different faces of colonialism and the faces of the drastic changes that the colonized had because of them in terms of loyalty, values, culture and religion.
Storytelling versus Action
The film is mostly concern in storytelling. It emphasizes the struggle of a man to express his self and to have an identity, but Capt. Benjamin Willard, the narrator, is telling a story that is not his' alone. He is telling a great story of troubled a man in the case of principle and loyalty, who made a mark on his life that could never be erased forever. Meanwhile, the novel is mostly concern in actions. The author, Chinua Achebe achieves a narration that is active and synchronized. He is telling a tale from the vantage point of view of the native people. He wanted his side of the people to be heard by the world that is full of prejudice.
Common Conflict
Apocalypse Now and Things Fall Apart share common conflicts and causes of conflicts—colonialism. While in the movie the conflict is on the colonizer's part—Willard and Col. Kurtz—and less on the native people, the novel, on the other hand, has its conflict on the natives especially on Okonkwu who is literally part of a tribe in Nigeria. The characters in both narratives struggle in term of ideals, religion, culture and loyalty. In terms of ideals, both Kurtz and Okonkwu struggle to deal with their ego. Kurtz, as described by Willard and as shown in the film try to rebel against the US government and declared himself as pro- natives. He is against the US' ways and ideals on democracy and world dominance. It appears that Kurtz is like most of our fellow Filipinos who become dissatisfied with our government and later turn into communism. Communism was very rampant in Vietnam at the time of the film. The Vietcong wanted to unite Vietnam under one communist rule. However, USA was against communism and so it involved itself on Vietnam's business which I perceive to be very distasteful. Okonkwu, on the other hand, is adamant on his views and ideals on masculinity and male pride which lead to all his struggles in life and later on, his death which is not worthy of emulation in the standards of their tribe.
In terms of religion, Things Fall Apart's Okonkwu was not open- minded enough to brace the new religion and rule introduced by the Christian Europeans. It is in this that he become outraged in the changes of his people and as he watched them slowly becoming just like the Europeans particularly the British, he struggled to keep himself afloat. With the coming of the Europeans in Nigeria and with the introduction of a new religion, the people are changed forever. They can no longer be considered as pure Igbo because a lot of changes have come to them and one of them struggles—their leader or societal symbol: Okunkwu. Kurtz, in the film, established himself as a god in inner Cambodia. In this case, I can say that his act is immoral in a sense that he is a human being and that being with the native people as their "protector" does not warrant him to mutilate their local culture, tradition and religion. As far as I know, Buddhist temples are regarded to be sacred, but Kurtz lived in the temple himself, thereby establishing himself as their god and father. As I perceive it, it is as if he doesn't want to regard the US as god, he wanted to establish himself as a god which in a sense is a subtle neo- colonialism and tyranny. It is in here that the "heroism" of Willard comes in when he assassinated Kurtz in order to stop his greed and insane ways. However, as I see it, both Kurtz and the US government represented by Willard equate each other in terms of greed in power because even until now, for instance, either actively or subtly, the USA still wants to run the world and the Philippines, as a former colony, is no exception to this.
These are just some of the countless faces of colonialism presented in the two literatures. If we read and watch closely the two of them, we can still glean a lot of things that's concerns the natives and all others including the colonizers themselves such as the abuse and exploitation of the natural resources of the receiving nation. The two pieces of literature are similar in many ways, hence, their sameness. Both characters were killed because of their own beliefs and ideals in life. In addition, the root cause of their death is colonialism and the things that it carries therein. How about the natives in both countries—Vietnam and Nigeria—or in most colonized countries? Their lives and conditions are altered forever. And these changes likewise come in two faces: the affirmative and negative; changes that equate eternity and absoluteness.

Filling Our Father's House: What Converts Can Teach Us About Evangelization (Sophia Institute Press, March 2015)
As Catholic converts know, the fullness of faith isn't the same as the perfection of practice. We have much to learn from our Protestant brothers and sisters on living out the Gospel. Shaun McAfee, a convert himself, shows how we can turn to Protestants and "test everything and retain what is good" (1 Thess 5:21). From evangelization and personal testimonies, to hospitality and memorizing Scripture, his advice is clear and practical. Any Catholic who wants to live a more fruitful spiritual life will follow his direction.

I honestly cannot think of anything that I would change about the place. The walk to the beach is maybe 3 mins with kids and a beach cart. The furnishings were great. Nice size pool. Lots of extras in the garage so don't worry about bringing beach toys or wagons, they already have it! ( we left some too). We loved the covered patio. We had some rain while we were there, it was great to still be able to grill out and hang outside. It also made it nice with a new baby to keep her out of the sun. I would recommend this to anyone. There are 3 levels so be prepared for some stairs. But, well worth it. When we come back with family, we'll definitely rent again!

What would you like us to tell you?
We could harp on here about 'this and that' and carefully describe how we are the best at 'this and that', but you don't want us to, so we won't. You want us to get you from A to B as quickly and cost effectively as possibly, so we will.
As a client you do not want us to throw legal references at you or email you a list of options and ask you what you want to do… you want those options, but you want direction as to which is best for you, from someone on your page.
Here at Jolliffe & Co we are not trying to reinvent the wheel, just provide cutting edge legal services in a professional, modern and readily understandable manner whilst continually distancing ourselves from the traditional solicitor stereotype of slow, verbose and paper based.
The proof of the pudding (they say) is in the eating.

All you have to do is switch lighting to the most effective form for your specific needs. Bathroom lighting provides excellent general lighting in the bathroom and often works well in combination with ceiling lighting. It is necessary to repair the bathroom lights according to your tastes and the mood you want to bring into the room.
If you are thinking of renovating your bathroom, remember that functionality should be at the center of all design ideas. In addition, it is very exciting if you are able to apply it in your bathroom. When it comes to the bathroom, it makes sense that your shower will give you the personalized experience you are looking for.
Lighting is often the last problem to consider when designing a home. So, this is the most important factor to consider in any modern bathroom. Recessed lighting allows you to create an ambiance and vibration in the room that can not be achieved using a single source.
Plumbing can vary greatly from one retailer to another, and not all locations will have a complete choice to choose from. Make sure you have all the plumbing equipment you want for your bathroom in Chicago. Chicago plumbing offers an assortment of attractive and functional choices for kitchens and bathrooms.

This weekend I ventured ten miles north of UCLA to a community pool in Sherman Oaks. We have many swimming pools on campus, but the pool at Sherman Oaks is home to the only public pool with a five meter platform (according to the nice man at the pool).
We had a beautiful weekend here in Los Angeles, so I was happy to get some pool time.
However, I decided I had to dive off the five meet platform since that was the whole reason for going. Needless to say, five meters gets really high once you get up there. It used to be a mundane task for me when I was still diving everyday so I thought it would be no problem. However, to keep things simple, I was just a tad bit nervous when I got up there. But, there was no way I was going to climb down, and I think simply jumping off is much harder then diving. Thankfully, old habits die hard, and after the first dive, I was able to get back up no problem.
On the way home, we stopped at Starbucks for frappuccino happy hour. Very convenient promotion for my midterm studying!
Go Bruins!

So this is what a revamped, freshly polished, renewed, reaffirmed, remodulated "career" looks like!
I've started a fresh new blog, after many failed attempts to blog actively on my own website as a professional touring, performing, recording musician who needs to relentlessly hustle to get his music heard and keep the gigs rolling in.
But I'm done with that game now. Not the music game, just the uphill battle to force my music into people's earholes. The truth is, I make music - and have ALWAYS made music - for myself. I love soul, I love funk, I love old school disco, and I love a lot of other kinds of music too, but I've spent many years getting really good at making music that fits the above labels. And let's face it... it's not pop. So my early childhood ambition to be a world-famous rockstar was probably foiled the very moment I decided to follow in the footsteps of Jamiroquai, Incognito and my various West Coast (Yacht Rock) idols. My style is not really suited to the kids today, and the result has been that musicians tend to enjoy my music, and a handful of punters (non-musical appreciators of music) buy it, support what I do, book me for their events and shake their asses to my stuff.
And I like it like that.
It's been a journey to let go of the NEED to be uber-famous, but I have come to realise on my more recent journey through learning about philosophy, and learning about myself (through therapy and self-work), that my very career choice that I made at the ripe age of 8 years old was actually a choice to fill an emotional hole in my life... the need to have a voice and to be heard. This is something I will likely touch on in more depth in future blogs, but suffice to say for now that this realisation opened up an epic wormhole into which my very identity was sucked and, as a result, I've spent the last year really re-evaluating what is important to me and what my career should look like.
And the truth is... I am not just a musician. I am many things.
Wedding Singer.
Producer of music.
Film Buff.
Music Video Director.
Amateur builder (yep, built my own studio with my own hands).
Maker of cardboard Samurai Helmets (four-year-old-son... need I explain further?).
Expert Level Duplo Engineer (as above).
I've been writing stories my whole life.
I used to draw pictures with intricate details of battles between various monsters, men and creatures - sometimes characters from Greek Mythology, which I adored - and I would scribble down brief, but epic stories of their adventures.
When I was 10 I attempted to write a novel. It was about sentient mice escaping genocide at the claws of evil rats. I got a little fixated on how to perfect the binding of the paperback version, which I self-published in my bedroom with my 486 computer, sporting Windows 3.1 and a dot-matrix printer - the pages from which required very careful trimming to make into paperback format. Once the binding was perfect, I got hungry for a snack, so I stopped writing the novel and never picked it up again.
Music was too all-consuming to ever give prose writing a serious go.
But I never stopped writing.
Throughout my high school and university years, though my mind was mostly focussed on the music career (and getting laid), in my spare time I would write short stories, film treatments, stage plays, and I even wrote, produced, directed and edited my own short film just for fun (might share that here at some point).
Shortly after the short film, I wrote my first feature-length screenplay, and planned its sequel, as well as continued with the numerous short stories that poured out of me at random.
But I never published any of it, I never even really did anything with the short film... it always felt like a hobby.
This year however, (you know... 2016 - the current year!) I have had an epiphany which has coincided with the intense and easy flow of writing my first full-length novel (of the Science Fiction persuasion). I am going to take my writing seriously as a profession. I will publish my novel when it is done. And it will follow with two sequels, to make a glorious, epic, and fantastical trilogy - all about the very future of humanity as a species.
I will also write freely and with passion and determination about the philosophy I have discovered and become utterly changed by. By opening my mind to rational thought and feeding it countless hours of content to support my tools for thinking in a manner that stems from rational metaphysics, I have become aware of how lost I was for so many years in a twisted form of nihilism and apathy that was disguised as being a (keyboard) warrior of social justice. Even since this learning, I spent a long time being too scared to shout my message to the larger world, so I kept my rants to my private Facebook page... but no more!
I am now the Editor-in-Chief, co-founder of and major contributor to a new philosophical news/commentary website called The Rational Right, of which I am immensely proud and dedicated to turning into a loud voice in the world of rational political/social discourse.
I will also write non-fiction books about philosophy... one day.
In the meantime, while I finish my first fiction works, I will tell my stories here on my blog. Stories from my own life, and stories from the vaults of my younger creative years. I may also rant, as and when I need to, about things happening in the world, or in my mind. I reserve the right to write whatever I like here, and I hope that even if you disagree with some of my political ideas that I can present an entertaining and compelling enough chunk of text to engage your mind in the conversation.
I started writing a comedic autobiographical book about the music business (from the perspective of a frustrated artist come wedding singer)... but I think this is something I can share here, chapter by chapter, and maybe even keep writing to *perhaps* make into a future novel... but who knows.
There are many words that pour from my mouth and mind (via my fingertips), and I am resolved to no longer limiting my storytelling to Verse, Chorus, Verse, Repeat Chorus, Bridge, Repeat Chorus to Fade....
So, welcome to Philosopher Fox, and I hope you'll subscribe if you like what you read, and keep in touch via the comments. Let's have a conversation.
Honestly yours,
James Fox Higgins
The Philosopher Fox

Freediving the Boga Wreck in Bali. Freediving this wreck was such a treat. I haven't dived many wrecks that were so complete and whole as the Boga wreck. It even had a car wreck inside the hold! A very fun freediving trip with some good freediving buddies from Australia.
We had stunning conditions and visibility for the dive as well which is always a bonus. The wreck starts at about 20 metres deep and goes to around 35 metres deep which I loved because it means that not many freedivers have been there before.
I filmed this video just after teaching an 8 day freediving course and then instructor course in Bali so I was definitely in need of some fun!

Betatest details
ElodepartEnvironment for linked open deliberation and e-participation
City where betatests take place :
- Vanves
|Recruitment period
|From July 8, 2012 to Sept. 16, 2012
|Betatest period
|From Oct. 19, 2012 to Nov. 30, 2012
Terms :
No specific configuration requested.
The Beta test of this service is actually restricted to the Town of Vanves in France, due to the beta test process modelling
The platform is a central place where citizens, public administration and other stakeholders negotiate problems or plan how to improve a concrete situation.
The increasing noise exposure during the last years – especially in the European large towns and agglomerations – induced the European Union to release the Directive 2002/49/EC relating to the assessment and management of environmental noise, the first regulation to assess noise exposures systematically and to make noise actions plans. The European environmental noise directive was transformed into national legislation with the "Law to implement the European directive on the assessment and reduction of environmental noise". Elodepart [environment for linked open deliberation and e-participation] gives a flexible and extensible infrastructure for the realisation of those plans, including citizens in the decision making process. The platform provides a bidirectional communication channel between citizens and decision makers based on approved methodology to develop a common concept to assess and control environmental noise, to prevent, to anticipate or to minimize damaging effects and disturbances through environmental noise.
To achieve this objective:
• interactive noise maps will be published to assess environmental noise exposure
• participants can propose ideas on how to reduce noise
• the proposals can be assigned to action plans with short, middle and long-term scope
• proposals can be prioritized by the participants ("crowdsourced scenario")
• proposal from the public participation would may be transfered to the local authorities
in order to be integrated into the urban strategy devellopment.
The first phase of the process will be reserved to the beta tester. We will offer them the opportunities:
- to report at first several noise disagreement meets in their every day life;
- to be source of proposition to improve the challenges pointed out;
- to comment, to support, to disagree, … on stated noise report;
- to get feedback or give feedback depending their degree of expertise.
Public administrations then takes clustered feedback into account for planning of noise reduction activities (walls, flight routes adjustment, subvention of noise proof windows,...)

Screwing Like Rabbits
Angel #34 continues the subplot that Bill Willingham first brought up in his first arc: Illyria's ready to make babies, and she wants to have them with Connor. Having gotten "approval" from Angel, she goes into Connor's room. Of course, the truth is that Angel left it up to Connor whether or not he wanted to. Connor doesn't want to, but suddenly, he does. In another room in the building, Spike talks to Laura Kay Weathermill, wanting to learn more about the Shanshu Prophecy. Laura just wants to rest and keeps trying to get him to leave, but Spike keeps talking. Elsewhere, one of those warrior demons talks to their leader about some kind of competition. Back at the Angel Investigations building, Kate Lockley comes in to talk to Angel about Jamaerah and Connor. But suddenly, she's taking off her clothes. And she wants to have some alone time with Angel. And Angel says, why the hell not? And also suddenly, Spike is just wearing his underwear, and he wants to have sex with Laura. Laura also suddenly starts to get interested, despite her injuries. Then, Desdemona walks in on Angel and Kate, and she decides to join in. Betta George and Polyphemus can't help but notice all the sex going on, and George points out that it's because of pheromones Illyria's putting out because she's in heat. Connor' s worried that he's not ready to be a father, and as he delays, Illyria suddenly goes out of prime mating mode. So she, leaves, and everyone snaps out of their sex craze. Elsewhere, the soul eater eats the soul of some poor schmuck who hired Angel Investigations before but is skimping out on the payment. Seems she has a plan. Then, in the Eddie Hope backup, Eddie continually accuses Charles Gunn of all of the things he did when they were in hell. Eventually, Eddie just decides to stop playing around with trying to get Gunn admit his sins, and he offers him a choice between a stake and a bullet. Gunn doesn't choose, but Eddie eventually goes with the bullet.
Well, that was an amusing episode. Okay, so Kate and Angel make a bit of sense as a pair. The rest of the pairings were totally random and strange, and that's what made them really funny. Particularly Spike and the currently invalid Laura. And all the while, Willingham is advancing other subplots. We've got that band of warrior demon women, and we begin to gt to see what they're really up to. And then we've got the soul eater, Myresto Mor's (Jamaerah's) servant, getting ready for her attack on the team. Managing to juggle multiple subplots in the middle of an interlude is the mark of a good writer. Of course, this is the guy who writes Fables, so it's no wonder that he's good. Willingham still struggles a bit with Spike's voice. Spike isn't quite… bad-ass and snarky enough. I mean, he's snarky, but not quite the right kind of snarky. But at this point, I'd say that's Willingham's only writing problem. Elena Casagrande definitely isn't Brian Denham, but she's pretty dang close. She mimics his style close enough that you almost can't tell that there's a different artist. I always appreciate attempts at keeping artistic continuity, especially when they work. Again, she's slightly less detailed, but she's still pretty dang good. She also does a perfect job mimicking David Messina's style in the Eddie Hope backup. Maybe that's due to the two different colorists she has, but she still has to take some of the credit. Unfortunately, I'm still finding the Eddie backup a tad slow at this point. I'd really like to know more about Eddie at this point, but Bill Williams is still just focusing on the coolness of Eddie himself and what he's doing. I would like a little more by now. So no, this wasn't a shocking new story. But something this silly almost feels more like the original show than some of the other story arcs I'm just glad that Angel finally gets a good writer. I hope Willingham stays here for quite a long while.

Anyway you
look at it the centrifugal blower is a necessity for these external anode
triode and tetrode tubes furnished in amplifiers today. Air can only
provide cooling by moving into a plenum chamber, around corners, through
the cutouts under the tubes, up through the anode radial/axial heat
exchanger and out though the exhaust chimneys or chamber.
Force, in
the form of pressurized air at zippy velocity is required. Muffin
fans can't effect or accomplish this. Legal limit plus amplifier cooling systems
require at least 30 CFM air flow at high power, high duty cycle output
levels. The centrifugal blower must turn at high speeds to create the
necessary plenum chamber pressure to get the high power job done.
wait a minute - I don't operate at high power, high duty cycles. Sure, I
get a little long winded sometimes, but someone smarter than me has
already figured out that even long winded SSB yammer is only 15% duty
cycle to the transmitter and it's associated ancillary power equipment. Do
I have to be subjected to the howl of a centrifugal blower anyway?
Blow hard

If I can slow
down the rotating machinery to a CFM capacity that will support my 15%
duty cycle yammer, yammer, yammer, which would be 5 or 6 CFM, I know the
howl will be dramatically reduced. Follow me through as I install a simple
circuit costing less than $20.00 to calm down the AL-800H from Ameritron
or any other amplifier utilizing a howling centrifugal blower.
main parts used
200 ohm, 12 watt variable, wire wound resistor or rheostat, available from
new surplus houses or
Nebraska Surplus Sales and a thermal snap switch from W.W. Grainger.
Part number
2E246, $8.53. The thermal switch has a much greater current rating
than required here and is larger than other
small units made by the thousands. It is designed for
hot air discharge in attics But it is the only switch readily available
that has the proper close and open differential of 10 degrees.
It closes at 120 degrees and opens at 110 degrees. It has a large sink
area so it reacts quickly to changes in temperature.
this circuit, see diagram, the amplifier blower runs at the default or
slow speed with normal SSB chatter duty cycle. If a
long winded, ratchet-jaw act with the associated heat is engaged, the thermal switch will switch the fan to the
pre-set high speed. When chatter stops it will switch back to the default
slow speed, usually in less than a minute.
Set high
The 200 ohm rheostat is in series with the blower motor by default. When
the thermal switch closes at 120 degrees it switches the rheostat
adjustable wiper into the circuit to provide a user selectable high speed.
I use about 50% of full capacity for high.
Two blue blower
wires are found at the AC section of the Ameritron AL-800H main circuit
board. These provide AC power for the blower. I unsoldered one blue wire,
lengthened it with similar wire in a series loop with the rheostat in the
circuit. See diagram.
A pair of the blue
#24 wires are routed from the bottom of the tube chamber to the other side
of the amplifier. They are then soldered to the switch. A #6-32 x 1/4"
machine screw holding the tuned input box cover is removed and replaced
with a 1 1/4" screw. A Nylon standoff, which helps thermally isolate
the switch, is slipped over the screw. After the
1/4" push tabs are straightened, the switch
is secured with a washer and nut. This positions the switch right in the
air flow from the tubes without interfering. In this installation a 510 ohm 3 watt
resistor was soldered in parallel
with the 200 ohm rheostat to provide a default resistance of 150 ohms for the slow
Adjust default and high speed
If you substitute a 1K to 2K rheostat for R2 you can adjust both the
default slow speed and the high speed. Both can be preset.
A 1/4" hole in the
back panel for mounting the rheostat and soldering the blue switch wires
and R2, if used, and this quieting job is done. After chimney installation
and cover re-installation it works just as it is supposed to. No
surprises. This amplifier is especially well suited for this simple
modification because it has an exhaust chamber. Other amplifiers with
Teflon chimneys reaching to the top outlets in the cover are a little more
complex but provide superb results. No more blowing too hard.
Note: This
circuit is for 117 volt blowers. Double the resistances for 234 volt

An academic essay can get the appreciation as a classical essay based on its presentation. Classic essays are clear set of ideas elaborated coherently. Classical essays have a linear order of idea presentation. Classic essays are bounded by supporting arguments. A classical argument essay is thus interesting and structured to provoke the reader's logic sense. There is no set formula for a good classical essay but there is sufficient knowledge sharing on the topic. For example, a classical music essay might be an in-depth review of a certain type of musical form present over generations. Classic essays on photography might be more technological in its content.

Love and Obedience
Matthew 5:17-19
Dt.4:1,5-9 / Psa 147
Whoever obeys and teaches these commandments will be called greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
(Matthew 5:19)
Those who prefer not to obey
God's laws forfeit heaven's treasure,
Those who submit will find the way;
Obedience is love's true measure.
(Jesus said), "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have come not to abolish but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter, or the smallest part of a letter, will by any means disappear from the Law until all things have taken place. Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 5: 17-19)
Jesus always emphasized the sacredness and validity of Scripture. "Not the smallest letter or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law until all things have taken place." (Mt.5:18) Obedience to God's laws and love are the two recurring themes in His teachings, two vital keys that we need to open the gates of heaven. His love has transformed us, but we still need God's decrees and ordinances in Scripture to guide us to His kingdom. Together with the strength, perseverance and inspiration from the Holy Spirit, we strive to follow and learn God's Word assiduously, and in the process, earn the gifts of the Spirit in order that we can also teach His Good News to others. It becomes our major preoccupation, our mission, our joy and our life.
The love that our Lord Jesus teaches is our most powerful tool for sanctification. It transforms our mediocrity into a passionate desire to keep God's commandments. Love inspires humility and obedience to the law, and makes it easy to submit ourselves to authority, and be receptive to its teachings. Love for our Brotherhood makes submission easy and natural. We know the difference between obedience dictated by fear and obedience dictated by love. We submit to our elders not because we fear them, but because we love them.
Obedience also comes easy because in our Brotherhood we experience our spiritual growth in the truths of the Gospel, and we credit this to the teachers of our community. St. Peter wrote, "Since you have purified yourselves by obedience to the truth for sincere mutual love, love one another intensely with a pure heart." (1 Pet 1:22)
Jesus said, "If you love me, keep my commandments… He who has received My commandments, and keep them, is the one who loves me…If a man loves me, he will keep my words…He who loves me not keeps not my commandments." (Jn.14:15-24)
Our greatest model of faith and total obedience is Abraham. Out of His love, trust and obedience to God, He was willing to sacrifice his only son Isaac whom he loved (Gen. 22). His love for God was far greater than his own life. Those who fear the Lord disobey not His words; those who love Him keep His ways. (Sir 2:15)
Let me never forget Your laws in my life, dear God, as long as I live. For they are the light that keeps me from stumbling, the discipline that I need in order to grow strong in my faith, and persevere in times of trials and suffering. Amen.

Premier Sports, the home of rugby's Guinness PRO14, has expanded its rugby coverage after winning broadcast rights to seven of the star-studded games in this November's Autumn International Series.
It's big rugby news for Premier Sports customers who already enjoy all seven live games in the Guinness PRO14 each weekend for just £2.50 a week.
Now customers can add 7 big international test fixtures to their viewing list including Ireland's showcase game against Six Nations rivals Italy at the iconic NFL stadium, Soldier Field, in Chicago (Sat 3rd November 8pm) as part of a rugby international triple-header in the USA, branded The Rugby Weekend.
As the southern hemisphere's big name teams, South Africa, New Zealand and Australia all head to Europe for a huge four weeks of rugby union, Premier Sports customers across the UK will be able to enjoy some blockbuster fixtures every Saturday afternoon in November in addition to their Guinness PRO14 action.
Live rugby on Premier Sports channels will include the high profile rugby contests of Italy v New Zealand (24th Nov) in the All Blacks last fixture of the autumn after games against both England and Ireland; plus France against South Africa (10th Nov) before the Springboks head to games against Wales and Scotland and what's sure to be an entertaining encounter as France take on Argentina (17th Nov).
It's another big move by UK Sports broadcaster Premier Sports to show its commitment to live rugby action – bringing subscribers comprehensive rugby coverage and growing its customer base after winning the UK rights to the Guinness PRO14 in May this year.
Premier Sports will show all France and Italy games of the autumn 2018 series as follows:
Ireland v Italy, Saturday 3rd November, Soldier Field, Chicago, USA (on air 7.00pm)
Italy v Georgia, Saturday 10th November, KO 2pm, Stadio Artemio Franchi, Florence
France v South Africa, Saturday 10th November, KO 8:05pm, Stade de France, Paris
Italy v Australia, Saturday 17th November, KO 2pm, Stadio Euganeo, Padua
France v Argentina, Saturday 17th November, KO 7.45pm, Stade Pierre- Mauroy, Lille
Italy v New Zealand, Saturday 24th November, KO 2pm, Stadio Olympico, Rome
France vs Fiji, Saturday 24th November, KO 7.45PM, Stade de France, Paris
Irish rugby supporters across the UK and Ireland will be looking to tune into Premier Sports channels (Sky 412, Virgin 551 or the Premier Player) for a great opening weekend fixture as Ireland take on Italy in the USA - with happy memories as Ireland famously beat the All Blacks at the iconic 62,000 seater Soldier Field stadium back in November 2016.
Ireland and Italy have contested a total of 28 rugby test matches since their first meeting in 1988. Ireland have won 24 of those matches, whilst Italy have won four matches. The man in the middle for this fixture will be world leading referee Nigel Owens.
To celebrate a big November on its channels, all new customers of Premier Sports that sign up before midnight on 31st October 2018 can enjoy their first month free – that's 7 autumn international games and two rounds (14 games) of Guinness PRO14 rugby action. Richard Sweeney, Chief Executive of Premier Sports said: "We are delighted to have expanded our rugby coverage to offer UK rugby supporters some fantastic international rugby action in November in addition to our full Guinness PRO14 action in Rounds 8 and 9. That's even more wall-to-wall world-class live rugby across our channels Premier Sports 1, 2 and sister channel FreeSports every weekend next month.
"It's set to be a thrilling series of Autumn Tests, packed full of world rugby's top stars and bound to attract attention from rugby fans right across the UK as we lead into the Rugby World Cup next year. We are committed to bringing top-class rugby coverage to our subscribers and this is more positive news for our fast-growing customer base."
Premier Sports is available in 16 million UK homes across Sky and Virgin platforms and to everyone via the Premier Player https://www.premierplayer.tv/ while FreeSports is available to 22 million UK homes across seven different platforms.
Both Premier Sport channels are available on a subscription basis for just £9.99 per month on Sky and on the Premier Sport player. The channels are also available to pubs, clubs and other commercial premises throughout the UK. Visit www.premiersports.com to find out more.

EdXN - Dr Peter Croll Presents: Privacy is your problem - How to become empowered, not enslaved.
Tuesday, 15 Sep 2015
Tuesday, 15 Sep 2015
This presentation will use actual case studies to show why privacy needs to embrace security, confidentiality, trust and safety, to minimize the risk of harm. A common-sense approach for identifying privacy risks and adopting the best mitigation strategies is detailed through a straight-forward, step-by-step method.
Aimed at both the users and the ICT practitioner who are developing apps or managing personal information, this presentation will empower you with the tools to make the right decisions and ensure legal compliance. To date, there are precedents which rule that you cannot simply pass on your information privacy responsibilities. Both organisations and individuals can be heavily fined – PRIVACY IS YOUR PROBLEM – learn effective solutions!

Increase quality with better customer understanding
Customer satisfaction survey let you better know your clients. How do they feel about your products or services? By listening to their thoughts and opinions you can better improve your product and services.
You can ask your clients how they like your website, checkout process, pricing, features and overall rate. Those opinions are extremely important with client who have some kind of problem. Listening to them will improve your product and services.
If you know that your user wants to resign, it's important to ask him for a reason. Additionally you can ask him how you can improve your product or services.
Customer satisfaction survey needs to be short for better response rate.
When performing customer satisfaction survey it's a good practice to measure client loyalty. Simple NPS question (Net Promoter Score) will tell you directly level of clients loyalty. The client needs to answer one question "How likely are you to recommend us to a friend or colleague?" answer is a scale from 0 to 10. The result is NPS score from -100 to 100. A positive value is considered as a good result and values greater than 50 as a very good result.
Customer loyalty survey could be performed periodically or transactionally. Periodically measurement could be perform once a month, quarter or annually. Transactional NPS measurement can be performed during specific situations like support contact, purchase or business inquiry.
It is said that NPS score is correlated with revenue growth.
Few examples of surveys that will help you measure customer satisfaction
Many professional service companies engage with clients directly. Their contact with clients is essential for their business. Periodic client satisfaction surveys are a great way to constant quality control.
As websites are a big part of companies activity their effectiveness should be controlled. It's a good practice to survey customers about your website, are they found the information they need? Was that information helpful?

It's a good practice to periodically survey your entire customer base to measure overall satisfaction. You can do it on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis. Control of overall customer satisfaction helps you make better strategic decisions.
Your product is used by your customers, but how your users use it, what they want to be improved? Product surveys will give you the different view on your product and way it should evolve.
A popular type of satisfaction survey. It's triggered by an interaction with the support team. You can ask the client about satisfaction with the resolution of his problem or ask how was his experience along the way?

Bagi anda yang ingin kuliah dan studi di Saint Francis Methodist School berikut informasinya sekolahnya :
In 1960, pressed by neighbours in rural Singapore to help their daughters prepare for the Cambridge examinations, and the unfortunate, untimely demise of her husband and therefore the need to provide for herself and her three young children, Mrs Harriet T Doraisamy, a former Raffles Girls' School (RGS) and Methodist Girls' School (MGS) mathematics teacher, founded St Francis Girls' School, and was its first principal.
From the outset Mrs Doraisamy was very clear in her purpose. She believed the school was a special gift to her by God after the death of her husband. It gave her joy and purpose in life. She therefore tried her very best to give the pupils "...a sound moral and all-rounded academic education, focusing always on God and directing them to Him..."* She loved all her students and the school meant a lot to her. In 1995, when she retired, she gave the school to the Methodist Church in Singapore, "...where I felt she rightfully belonged."*
Through the years the school met all of Mrs Doraisamy's original objectives, and more. It grew, developed and evolved. From an initial 25 all-female students the student body burgeoned to over 500 co-educational students today. From a humble parochial background it has become a premier private school with international students spanning Africa/West Asia to the west, The People's Republic of China/Japan/Korea to the north, and Australia/New Zealand to the south. From rented premises it is now housed in its own building within the Methodist Church's campus at Upper Bukit Timah Road.
And while there were many changes, one thing remains constant: the belief in and the spirit of a good education, determined by its founder, weaves through the heritage of St Francis.
We prepare students to lead meaningful and fruitful lives. We encourage and celebrate individual student achievements and contributions. We hope, and offer hope within a secure and caring environment where mutual respect and appropriate behaviour is the norm. Our staff are role models of excellence for our students. More coach and mentor than teacher, their belief in always going the extra mile for their students have earned them kudos and fond memories from students past and present. We believe that our achievements and successes are not entirely of our own doing but that provided by the grace of God.
This then is St Francis, a school with a rich legacy of excellence in traditional education based on sound values. Please find out more about us online. If you are considering enrolling, please come and visit us. We will be pleased to discuss your needs and show you around. If you are an alumni, welcome back! We are always pleased to see you again!
To be a school of choice with a vibrant international learning community, rooted in God's Word and inspiring lives to be the best that they can be.
To provide a nurturing environment offering opportunities for students to excel through appropriate educational pathways, and to equip them with the necessary skills and strength of character to succeed in this rapidly changing world.

Tips For Toy Safety
by Marjorie Dorfman
Some of the thoughts about toy safety that are suggested here may seem too obvious to mention. If so, that may be because they involve common sense, an idea little accepted by most of mankind. Read on anyway. You may be surprised at what lurks just beyond the doorway of your very own home.
This article may be light-hearted, but it is intended to illustrate the importance of maintaining toy safety in the home.
When I took my drivers test many years ago, I remember studying the manual for road safety and underlining the important points as I read along. One of the advisements to prospective drivers was a warning not to park at any time for any reason on the railroad tracks! Some rules for the toy safety road may hit you in this same way, but do your children a favor and read them anyway.
Rule Number 1
Be careful where toys are left in your house. Never leave them where they cannot be seen or can be accidentally tripped over. Choose a safe storage place. Dark corners and the top of the stairs are not viable options unless a relative you dont like is planning an unwanted visit to your home. You might consider breaking this rule then, but tread lightly, and only if you think you can get away with it.
Rule Number 2
Never give children of any age toys that have sharp objects or edges. (If you are having trouble understanding why, perhaps you might gain some insight by parking for an hour or so on any active railroad track near your home.)
Rule Number 3
Make sure toys are always age appropriate. A child who loves horses will rarely appreciate a toy or book focussed on saving the whales or playing with piggy. Also, toys for an older child should never be left with a younger child. If you are a child at heart or even just resonably immature, these tasks might prove difficult, but force yourself to do your best.
Rule Number 4
Read the instructions carefully and keep them in a place where you are likely to find them again. Of course, if they are not written in English, it doesnt really matter where you put them. This happened to my father a long time ago, when he purchased a rocking-horse for my sister and I one Christmas. He tried desperately to insert flap A into flap C many times from Japanese to English before giving up and throwing everything out the back porch window where the neighbors wouldnt notice or hear him screaming.
Rule Number 5
Children should never be left alone with toys. Always supervise your children and set good play examples. Play with them, which will come easy to you if you are subject to the weaknesses mentioned in rule number 3.
Rule Number 6
Discard broken toys. Even if you are the kind of person who never throws anything out, make an exception in this case (especially if you broke the damn thing in the first place).
Rule Number 7
Make sure children wear proper equipment while operating all toys. Helmets are in order even while playing computer games. After all, who can faithfully measure how far a computer with a chip on its shoulder may go? Better to be on the safe side. (Gloves and mufflers might be applicable here as well. After all, one can never be too safe.)
The issue of common sense works for all things, including the enjoyment of toys. Be aware always because the child whose life you save may very well be your own.

It really fells good to hear a review from your clients. Nadine and Oscar, join our bodyboard lesson in Machico when they were in holidays in Madeira Island. We feel glad to share with you there bodyboard experience with Salty-Madeira Water Activities.
Let's get Salty! 😉 Madeira Bodyboard Lesson
"So far we've had an amazing time on Madeira island. Beautiful weather, good food, nice people, great whale watching tour.. only the really fun experience was missing. Good thing we heard about Salty. We didn't need much time to think about it.. it was time to get Salty!
Early in the morning we got up, the sun only starting to rise and we were already on the road to Porto Cruz, where good waves were to be expected. We got there and after a quick coffee went to check out the beach. Nice little beach and already some people hoping into the waves. Shortly after, Belmiro arrived and welcomed us warmly. He checked the waves and decided to take us to another spot with better waves. He sure knows his business. Only a short drive away is Machico, where a large beach with nice waves was waiting for us.
We carried the whole equipment to the beach and Belmiro handes us two wetsuits and the super bright yellow Salty t-shirts. By the time we got dressed we were already sweating. After a short warm-up we jumped into the waves. The next two hours Belmiro showed us with lots of patience how to bodyboard. After each wave he explained what we can improve to catch the waves even better. He really knows how to explain everything so we understand. We had an absolutly fun time and enjoyed it a lot. Belmiro is a great guy, born to be in the water. The whole time while we tried hard to catch the waves he easily got them without trying hard and took lots of pictures and videos of us. We ended up super exhausted but with good memories and a new great friend. To recover our energy Belmiro took us to a typical bar on Madeira to drink some Ponchas. We'll definitively come back to Madeira to get Salty. Thank you Belmiro for everything!" – Oscar and Nadine in Madeira Bodyboard Lesson – Salty Madeira Water Activities

4. Emmerdale
Not only is Emmerdale primarily a soap about old people, it's about old people in the countryside. I spent most of my teens in the countryside, I already know how mind-numbingly dull it is. I don't need to wallow away what is left of my already worthless life watching people with beards sit and get fat - I'm already doing that myself, I can just look in the mirror and not waste money on a TV licence.

Log Cabin Commemorative Quilt Completed
The commemorative Log Cabin Quilt that is given away each year by drawing on New Year's Eve at Amish Acres has been completed by Elizabeth and Katie Borkholder and is on display in The Round Barn Theatre's lobby. The quilters spent the spring, summer and into the fall stitching the king sized quilt, valued at $2,000, in the Gross Daddi House in Amish Acres historic area. Visitors to the farm have been registering to win the quilt all season long. The winner will be drawn from entries which will top 5,000.
Each year's design is one of the farm's most anticipated announcements. This is the eighth year that commemorative quilts have been made, all celebrating milestones at Amish Acres including anniversaries for The Round Barn Theatre and the Arts & Crafts Festival. Because there is no limit to the number of times one may enter, each visit to Amish Acres whether for a Theatre Performance, Threshers Dinner, Theme Dinner, House & Farm Tour, Arts & Crafts Festival or Special Event, increases one's chances of winning. The quilt's pattern was designed by Amish Acres Founder Richard Pletcher and the top was created and sewn by Amber Burgess, The Round Barn Theatre's Artistic Director.
The Log Cabin pattern is in honor of the 1854 Smid Log Cabin which now serves as Amish Acres Soda Shop & Fudgery. The hand hewn log house was home to the only Mennonite congregation to migrate from the Netherlands to the United States. It was built by Reverend R.J. Smid (1814-1893) for his family and served as their church building until 1889 when the Salem Mennonite Church was built.

Earn Money & Home projects
>> Saturday, February 21, 2009
Well now that things are slowing down I am going to have to find a way to earn some money! (yes me and the rest of the world!)
I am going to keep organizing though and if I don't find extra work, I am going to use this time to keep organizing and cleaning.
When I make some progress with that, and the weather gets a bit nicer where I can open up windows etc. I am going to possibly do some painting inside the house. Only on parts that I know are worth doing right now. Parts of the house need wall and ceiling work, but I can't do that till I get electricity and plumbing done!
With that I should make an announcement: (ha ha)
If anyone reading this works for HGTV, OPRAH, Home Improvement shows, This OLD house, Nate Berkus or Carter Oosterhouse (Nate and Carter are both hot by the way!)
My house would be a great show for you! It was built in 1926 and was once part of a wealthy man's (there is some history to this man who owned it) summer home estate. All the other buildings are still here. I live in the gatehouse. It is a decorators dream!
I would like my house to be decorated like Pottery Barn or IKEA. I have simple tastes and want it to be cozy. I also like a bit of Shabby Chic.
Ho hum well I guess it is back to reality!

Smart Bedding on Shark Tank
Never Make Your Bed Again - Episode 517 - 2/28/2014
|Smart Bedding that only takes a few
seconds to make in the morning.
Smart Bedding entrepreneur Marshall Haas was living in San Francisco, and Jon Wheatley was in St. Louis when they joined forces to bring the Smart Bedding System to market. To raise the needed start-up capital, and more importantly show proof of concept the Smart Bedding would sell, they chose to start a Kickstarter project this past summer. They set a realistic $10 thousand dollar goal needed to start manufacturing the Smart Bedding. This was easily reached when the campaign ended with over $57,000.00 in orders from 442 backers.
After successfully receiving over $57k to bring Smart Bedding to market, Haas and Wheatley chose a manufacturer in Asia to start making Smart Bedding products on a large scale. A large percentage of the budget was also required to start the process, along with a lot of faith this oversees manufacture would keep his word and deliver on time before Christmas. Promises were made the backers would indeed get their Smart Bedding products before Christmas just as the Manufacture had agreed upon.
What could possibly go wrong placing the very first large order from someone half way around the World? We'll guess what? Apparently, the order was fulfilled, but the finished product was not made as specified using sub-par materials. The decision was made to delay shipping the Smart Bedding to the Kickstarter backers until they had a more quality product to deliver. There was also another small little detail left out of the campaign which was shipping charges.
Apparently, the shipping charges to receive your new Smart Bedding was not specified which shocked lots of backers when they were billed these additional charges. I've been to hundreds of crowdfunding campaign pages, but this is the first time I have heard of additional charges being tacked on to a pledge, I didn't even know that was possible. Unfortunately according to the Smart Bedding website, the product has still not shipped as of this writing, but is scheduled to do so hopefully sometime later this month.
Smart Bedding before Shark Tank Update:As much as I like this never make my bed again concept, I'm a little confused with some of the recent business decisions made thus far. The greatest thing about using a crowdfunding campaign is having people show their support and help financially back your dream. To me, these backers would be on my highest level of customer service and I would go way out of my way making sure they are updated every step of the way. The last comment/update on the Kickstarter project written by Marshal and Jon was January 3, 2014, which seems to be a little outdated.
Even though the Smart Bedding Business seems to of run into a few hiccups getting to market, the parent company NeedWant Inc, also owned by Jon Wheatley and Marshal Haas, is moving full steam ahead with a few other inventions they are working on. Notably, a new product called the Mod Note Books that looks real promising and apparently is where most of their attention is focused on right now according to the ModNoteBooks Twitter pics.
This Mod Note Book does look like a really cool new invention that could become very successful in the near future, but didn't anyone tell them they're going to be on the Shark Tank Show next Friday night featuring another product? I don't know, maybe it's just me, but if I was about to receive an estimated $4 - $5 million dollars' worth of publicity in a single night, I might think about putting other projects on hold and get ready for the stampede of new customers coming whether their ready or not.

EDIT: Things were not adding up that this business was ready for the Shark Tank, and now we know why, because they are not.

E-Route - Electro-mobility at the last mile
The interest of companies in extending their vehicle fleet to electric utility vehicles is big. However, there is no established knowledge of business cost-benefit aspects yet. The research project E-Route is intending to close that gap.
Mobility and future experts are expecting a rising use of electric vehicles. This development also includes the field of utility vehicles. In logistics, there is particular potential in the area of last mile logistics. Sporadically, companies have already started to test battery-powered trucks. Currently, the research for electro-mobility is mainly concentrating on the optimization of technical bases for electric vehicles and electric utility vehicles. The question for the economic benefit, however, remains unanswered: How can companies calculate whether and in which areas the implementation of electro-mobile trucks is sensible? Which process adjustments are necessary and what is the consequence, for example for the employees' qualification?
Objective of the Project
Logistics companies shall be supported in the sensible planning of implementing electro-mobility in commercial sectors and in restructuring their vehicle fleet. The research project E-Route is assigned to the key topic Goods Transport Management in the EffizienzCluster LogistikRuhr. Special emphasis lies on the contribution of electric utility vehicles to sustainable and environmentally friendly logistics.
E-Route consequently shows the use of commercial electric vehicles from the perspective of companies and considers the question of process adjustments in logistics operations in companies. Among those count for example the planning of disposal and routes as well as the training of employees. With both project partners – the Deutsche Post DHL as logistics company and the pharmacy association NOWEDA as retail company – the researchers gather within the scope of their actual state analysis the routes, a product travels from the regional distribution warehouse to the point of sale respectively to the customer, and the processes behind that. According to that, test and measuring rides are accompanied with a battery-powered transporter under real conditions. Both partners meet most different requirements with their demands for last-mile logistics. Based on the test drives the researchers develop business guidelines for the application of electro-mobility at the last mile.
Specific Innovations
The result of the project shall be the publishing of a handbook "Electric vehicles in last-mile logistics", connected with an investment calculation. The practice-oriented handbook will contain numerous checklists and guidelines. For the first time, companies can thus analyze and evaluate an economic benefit of commercial electro-mobility at the last mile.

Packers @ Eagles Postgame
I'd like to throw two "thank-you's" out to the Eagles this week. To Michael Vick- thanks for thinking you're a passing quarterback on 3rd and goal. To Andy Reid- thanks for thinking Vick can run between the tackles on 4th and 1. What was that? We have seven on the line, five of which are inside their ends and they don't get Vick in space? He gashed us for more than a half and you run that play??? Again, thank you.
I'd also like to throw out an apology. In my season preview, I questioned our offensive line and compared Mark Tauscher to an 80-year old man. I'd like to apologize to all 80-year old men. You all have much quicker feet than either of our tackles. Paint dries faster than Tauscher and Clifton.
Any road win in the NFL is gold. Add to it an NFC team you haven't beaten in their hometown since 1962, and there should be little complaining.
One last thing…I also mentioned in the season preview how Brandon Jackson would eventually be asked to be a 1st and 2nd down back. I hate being right.
KEYS TO THE GAME (from my preview)
1) Our defense- It was all-world until Vick was forced into action. Even though Vick moved the chains, the Packers still had 5 sacks, three of which were on Vick. McCoy only had seven carries and they limited DeSean Jackson to four touches on offense for 30 yards. Woodson was Woodson and Matthews was better than last year. Holy crap! His first sack, Matthews looked like a cheetah pouncing on an impala.
2) Special teams- Kudos to the Packers' special teams Sunday. That was one of the top ST performances in recent memory. Across the board: returns, especially KO returns, were solid. Coverage was solid. On punts, we had four punts and Jackson only managed two returns for 11 yards. Very nice. And besides the kick-off out of bounds, Mason Crosby was huge. We'll re-visit him later. Now do it all again this week and prove it wasn't a fluke.
3) Offensive dominance- Perhaps the greatest part of Sunday was that the offense was, in their own eyes, terrible and yet we put 27 points on the board. Rodgers was off most of the day. Grant goes down. Finley found out that teams are going to be forced to double-team him or Rodgers is going to target him EVERY TIME. I see vast improvement Sunday.
4) Andy Reid's gameplan- Wow, the Eagles sucked in the first half. They were setting all kinds of records…in futility. They couldn't get Jackson the ball and Kolb looked like a scared, confused rookie. Vick saved them and created a huge problem in the process. Glad I'm not an Eagles fan.
I'm going with Crosby's 56 yard field goal to end the 1st half. Not only did it put the Pack up two scores going into the half and put all the momentum in Green Bay's favor, but how many of you thought there was any chance that was going through as they were lining up? Come on, 5% of you? Too high? Huge play.
Clay Matthews- I guess Allen Iverson is right. We're talking about practice. 7 tackles, 2 sacks, 2 TFL, and 1 FF. He looked quicker than last year. His dropped interception could cost him the NFL Defensive Player of the Week, but wow, how can I pick anyone else.
No comments yet.

More than 20 million people embark on cruises yearly,1 so chances are you'll end up on one if you like traveling. It's easy to have fun on any cruise, but not all of them are created equal. In fact, there are several themed cruises that offer a vacation you won't find anywhere else. So, if you're considering "setting sail," these themed forays might be just perfect for you.
If the old board game Clue or episodes of "CSI" are your idea of fun, you need more than a normal cruise. To get your hands on more than just a game or TV show, there's the nine-day Murder Mystery Cruise.
When this cruise begins, everyone is thrust into a world of suspicion. Every passenger is given a role in a fantasy murder, possibly even as the prime suspect aboard, and the cruise has set up deals with hotels at each port of call to continue the mystery while ashore.
You'll be provided with investigative tools to assist in solving the fictitious yet heinous crime. Additionally, you can book this cruise every year and see a different part of the world every time you set sail. The Murder Mystery Cruise has gone to Alaska, as well as Spain and surrounding countries. In 2016, budding sleuths will visit England, Spain, Portugal and France.
If you enjoy AMC's hit show, "The Walking Dead," then the Walker Stalker Cruise is for you. The Grand Bahama Island cruise is already exciting enough, but when you toss in panel discussions, concerts and meet-and-greets with your favorite Walking Dead characters, you've got a vacation that can't be missed.
The cruise itself is a three-day round-trip, departing from Miami. In addition to meeting your favorite zombie apocalypse survivors, you'll also have access to a bowling alley, video arcade and casino. You can also take a moment to get your zombie makeup done professionally on board before entering the costume contest.
All of this, plus you'll be at sea when the zombie outbreak takes place on land. What more could you ask for?
Zombies aren't the only creatures you can set sail with, thanks to the Monsters of Rock Cruise. If you're a rocker, this is the ship to be on. The cruise itself is four days and nights, where you'll enjoy several beautiful sites in the Bahamas. You'll have 15 dining choices and even an on-board casino. While these may seem typical of most cruises, the rock stars make the journey anything but typical.
Once you depart, you'll be privy to the greatest rock experience this side of the dark side of the moon. Old-school rockers can catch Tesla tearing up the stage, and those with a love of early '90s metal will be more than excited to witness Sebastian Bach, formerly of Skid Row, play a set. Younger rockers will love Paradise Kitty and, since nearly 40 bands will be on board, there's something (or someone) for everyone.
If you're worried about this being a typical rock festival that just happens to take place at sea, you have nothing to fear. You'll also have a chance to meet and get photos with your favorite rockers of the last few decades.
It's okay if hard rock music isn't your thing; some people prefer the classics. Classic films, that is. If you fall into this group, the Turner Classic Movies Classic Cruise is right up your alley. On this five-night cruise, you'll have all of the cruise classics at your disposal, including luxurious spas, wonderful restaurants, and trips to Castaway Cay and Grand Cayman.
It's the other classics, though, that will catch your eye. You'll watch vintage and memorable films in the ship's state-of-the-art theaters and, even better, you'll also get to meet the stars of these films as well as your favorite TCM hosts. Toss in a few dance lessons and a singles' mixer, and you'll be more than cruising with the oldies!
If you've ever sat at home and watched poker greats like Doyle Brunson and Daniel Negreanu compete for millions in Texas hold 'em winnings, it's time to take their place. The World Poker Tour offers two cruises, one of which includes poker training for those new to the game.
In addition to rock climbing walls, ice skating rinks, luxurious spas and specialty restaurants, you can join "free roll" tournaments that offer huge prizes, as well as daily sit-and-go tournaments. If you're ready to hit it big and be the next Chris Moneymaker, have a seat at the WPT Cruise main event for a chance at the grand prize, a champion's trophy and your own feature in WPT Magazine.
When you're not playing poker, you can enjoy all of the ship's amenities, along with stops in Jamaica, Haiti and Cozumel. And for super fans, you'll even have WPT cast members and poker greats to chat with.
"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page." This popular quote provides all the motivation you need to travel the world. When doing so, though, you might as well make it a little more exciting. After all, anyone can go on a typical cruise — you'll come back with stories very few people can top. It might also be a good idea to take Allianz Cruise Insurance on your journey. It's the peace of mind you'll need when you might be meeting zombies along the way.
