Cruise for the first time with Carnival Spirit

admin

Carnival Cruise Line is an amazing luxury cruise fleet that caters to all types of cruisers. Families, couples and groups of friends of all ages are welcome aboard their ships and the entertainment is for everyone.

Carnival’s fleet currently contains 22 ships that are located around the world and are most popular in the Caribbean. Some of the ship names include Legend, Victory, Glory, Pride, Destiny, Dream, and Paradise.

Carnival eventually moved into Australian waters offering short voyages on Australia’s east coast, but also to the beautiful islands of the South Pacific.

Currently, only the Carnival Spirit sails out of Sydney, Australia, and this is the ship that I had the privilege to experience. The Carnival Legend will also soon be arriving in Australia shortly.

There are 10 levels on the Carnival Spirit that includes multiple restaurants, a day spa, a fitness center, 2 main pools for all ages, and an adults-only area that also includes a pool and Jacuzzi.

The entire ship is adorned with magnificent works of art, structures, and paintings, especially in the Grand Atrium, which has a multi-tiered painting that is around 6 levels high.

What makes this Carnival Spirit stand out and appeal to kids and the young at heart alike is its 50-foot waterslide known as Green Thunder. It’s located on deck 10 and counts down from 3. The water slide is so fast I couldn’t even tell you if the platform fell off, went backwards or what.

All restaurants on board are paid for within the price of your cruise ticket, except for the steakhouse called Noveau. It’s $35 per person to eat here and it’s worth the price as you get 3 plates of top quality meats. Make sure you go in hungry, these meals are huge.

The main restaurant also has 3 courses and table service, and almost all of the waiters are outgoing, funny, and a little crazy, all in the name of having fun. After dinner is served, there may be a song and/or dance by the waiters to help lift the spirits for the fun times of the night.

There are also many bars around the ship, including a karaoke bar, swim-up bars, the casino, the Shanghai bar, the grand atrium, and waiters who walk the decks and come directly to you for orders.

Lastly, the entertainment on board is also worth checking out, most of which takes place in the Pharaoh’s Palace, which is located on decks 2, 3 and 4. Here you can see magicians, hypnotists, dancers, concerts by big band and more.

Just below the palace is the Punch-liner Comedy Club, where 4-5 comedians perform, most of which include an adult-only show.

Overall, Carnival Spirit lived up to its reputation and makes the trip as comfortable and entertaining as possible. I would definitely book with Carnival again and highly recommend it to any first time traveler.

Hikes in Acadia National Park, Maine

admin

Whether you’re looking for a gentle ride or a full-on adrenaline-pumping adventure, Acadia National Park in ‘Down East’ Maine is the perfect place to come. There’s a hike for everyone here in this beautiful natural park, so put on your hiking boots or shoes and head out to explore. Here are some trails to give you an idea of ​​the hikes you can expect to find in Acadia National Park:

cliff path

This is one of the most difficult hikes in the park and one of the best known. This is a near vertical hike in exposed conditions where you must scale a 1000ft precipice using ladders and iron flights. This ascent should only be attempted by people with a good level of fitness and a good head for heights. If you wish to attempt this ascent, you must verify that it is open prior to making the trip. This trail is sometimes closed between late spring and mid-August to protect the rare and endangered peregrine falcons that nest here.

Acadia Mountain Trail

This is another of the park’s best-known and most popular hiking trails. This trail is quite steep in sections, though in the summer you may often be taken up Acadia Mountain by national park rangers, who include hikes on this trail in their regular summer schedule. There are spectacular views from this route of Somes Sound and Southwest Harbor.

Mansell Mountain

A large rocky staircase will take you to the 300-meter summit of this peak. Mansell Mountain is situated on the western side of Mount Desert Island and has fantastic views over Great Long Pond. To complete this scenic ascent, park near the southern end of Great Long Pond near Southwest Harbour. The loop is strenuous on the way up, even though the loop is only a couple miles long.

Cadillac Mountain

There are several hikes to choose from on Cadillac Mountain. The most challenging of the summit hiking trails is the South Ridge Trail. The ascent is long but fairly smooth, 7.4 miles of forest and then granite slopes. The North Ridge Trail, about 4.4 miles, is an open ascent with stunning views of Bar Harbor and Frenchman Bay. Alternatively, you can park and take the very easy loop trail around the 1,530-foot summit, for stunning panoramic views without much effort.

jordan pond

At Jordan Pond Scenic Spot, you can choose to take the gentle one-mile nature trail or through the forest and pond, or alternatively, you can take the 3.3-mile route around the Shore Trail, following the waterline. Please start from the Jordan Pond parking area, not the Jordan Pond House restaurant parking area.

These are just a few of the beautiful trails to choose from in spectacular Acadia National Park.

Start online business success from home

admin

There are some simple steps that need to be followed if you want to start online business success from home. The most important thing to do is put in the necessary amount of research for your particular home business model. The fastest route to home business failure is not properly researching all available information.

Currently, in the home business industry, we see that most home based businesses have a 90% failure rate, and this is due to a number of reasons. The most common is the “jump before you look” mentality. Unfortunately for the online sector of the home based industry, internet marketing is easily accessible to anyone. It is an affordable way to start a business that makes a profit and as a result attracts a lot of unqualified people. There is no difference in the amount of workload required if you are running an internet business or a brick and mortar. The only difference between the two is the approach.

Many new internet marketers believe that they can just throw up a quick website on some cheap hosting and the money will magically materialize in their bank accounts. This is not the way internet business models work. All companies on the Internet are ranked according to the quality of the content they offer. In order to attract buyers and a potential customer list, a business owner must first feed the Internet with the things it was really created to do…content and information! Many marketers overlook this simple fact and pay dearly for it.

What determines the success of online business owners is the amount of traffic they can drive to their websites. Search engine optimization specialists focus almost exclusively on generating traffic to existing sites. It is a technical skill that is very difficult to learn, but by becoming an SEO specialist, you possess a valuable skill that is in high demand in the internet marketing industry. By having this skill, you also possess the ability to start a successful home business with every online project you take on.

Regardless of what the gurus and industry leaders tell you, there are no secrets to making money online or building a successful website. These things are done through unique content and a lot of hard work. There are no shortcuts, every business owner must create his own niche and learn how to market successfully in the ever-changing landscape of the Internet if he ever wants to successfully promote products and services online.

The sad and untimely death of Captain Richard Head

admin

Before I entered LTD and SSDI full time, I had my DREAM job. I was the first female co-owner/vice president of human resources for a US ship repair yard. We employ more than 2,500 employees; 24/7 operation; 11 unions, and a lot of agitation!!!

My agreement with the Managers who fixed ships was simple: I made people; they made great “stuff” out of metal.

It was a rainy Wednesday, late October night, around 8:00 pm We had a ship under repair with an English captain, Head, and his wife on board (they traveled the world together). They were out for a walk, and for some reason, they were walking in the middle of the one-way street leading from the ship repair yard. 8:00 pm is “lunch time” for Swing Shift; And they only have 30 minutes.

A young man working in the yard for a contractor ran out of the yard exceeding the speed limit, trying to drive while cleaning his windshield. He heard a thud and stopped the car, only to discover that he had struck and unfortunately killed the captain. Head. I got a call at home around 3am to come out to the yard and “deal” with the situation as I did with “people”. I went in, dealt with the police, the grieving widow, the hospital, etc. I took the widow to a downtown hotel; he contacted her family in England and managed to get them tickets to fly and stay with her; she went home for a few hours of sleep.

Now remember, the customer is always right. So the next day, Thursday, I met with the family, and the widow wanted to have an open casket, full Catholic mass, memorial service, the next day, at the shipyard, so the ship’s crew could say one last good thing. by Cap. He had already quoted caskets, embalming, cremation, etc., and when I started to relay the information to the family, the “Ship’s Representative”-our “client” said, “They don’t pay, you pay!”

I thought that was fine, but I wonder what Accounting would think when they saw my VISA statement for the next month in which I charged a casket, embalming and cremation.

I leave the family; make arrangements with the Funeral Home to prepare Capt. for the following night’s service – Friday – for a 6 pm service. Now the only place inside the courtyard suitable for service was a nice room outside our company cafeteria. And, the only door wide enough to accept a coffin was the one that would lead the coffin through the kitchen. So I had to call the State Department of Health. to make sure I wasn’t violating any health codes by pushing a coffin through the kitchen (and it didn’t take as long as the body was embalmed).

Now, that Friday, luckily, was Halloween. And remember this is a rough and dirty ship repair yard! Just years before the yard hosted Halloween parties complete with an open casket filled with ice and booze! And even though we were kinder and gentler now, I didn’t want the shift on duty to see a group in the windowed room next to the cafeteria with an open casket! So, we bought and figured out how to hang curtains.

Then, I remembered that I needed to find a Priest! Take some time to find one at the last minute ~ It’s finally Friday, around noon. I panic, remembering that I don’t have any proper “catholic funeral mass” music to play, and run to the nearest mall music store. I order funeral music, momentarily forgetting that it’s Halloween, and the clerk tries to sell me the Monster Mash. I explain and get the music right; Return to the courtyard and prepare the room for the service. Run home to change your clothes; I run back to the Patio, where I remembered that I had to pay the Priest for his services !!

So I ran to Accounting and asked for a check made out to the Priest, and got the strangest looks, until I remembered that not everyone who worked in the Yard knew about the upcoming Memorial Service.

Go back to the room; everything arrives and the Service begins. Now, I hope you realize how serious this event is. He had told the priest that the captain’s name was Richard Head. But his family came from the UK and they insisted on calling him throughout the service by his nickname, Dick. I was horrified when people in the service put the two names together, in “American slang,” and started laughing. Well, we went through the Service; afterward we had made arrangements for a light meal, and the evening ended satisfactorily.

Remarks: First of all, I defy any other HR executive to have this type of task to perform. Second, this is a true story! Only in an American ship repair yard can you have a full Catholic mass memorial service for the captain. Dick Head on Halloween.

The only proven and effective way to get your articles read

admin

A long time ago, writing articles became a popular way to make a living, yet many people still struggle to do so. That’s because the easy part is writing the articles. The next bit is harder, and that’s getting people to read them. And if your articles don’t get read, then you won’t make any money.

It doesn’t matter if you are writing articles for your own blog to earn money, or if you are writing articles for clients or to publish in magazines. If nobody wants to read them, you better not even bother writing them.

So how do you make sure people read your articles from start to finish?

Start with a curiosity-invoking headline to grab readers’ attention. But that is still not enough. They have to want to finish reading your articles once they start.

So what you need to do is become the person they can trust to write the articles they want to read, so that every time they see something you’ve written, they don’t just want to read it, they’re looking forward to it.

And the way to do that is to just write things down so you don’t have to think.

The late, great redactor Eugene Schwartz put it this way: “Write on the brain of the chimpanzee.”

What this means is that readers want to learn something by reading our articles, but they don’t want to have to try to figure out what that is. They want you to tell them as simply as possible so that the information is easy to read and understand because they can’t ask questions if they don’t understand something.

So keep it simple. Don’t use big words or long sentences. And I’ve found that one of the easiest ways to do this is to type fast, because this forces me to type as I speak, or more accurately, to type as I think because it doesn’t give me time to guess. yourself or try to think of big words.

We are usually much clearer on what we are trying to convey when we talk to someone rather than write to them.

So write quickly and write your articles while the most difficult ones are clear in your mind.

This technique has worked for successful writers and marketers all over the world.

And it can work for you too.

Effective Strategies for Your Muscle-Building Diet and Training

admin

What muscle building diet helps in the bodybuilding machine that is your body? Yes, your body is like a machine that constantly reinvents itself. Every minute that passes during your daily activity, your body breaks down your tissues and then replaces them with new tissues. This mechanism is fueled by the combination of the foods you eat. What happens when you are building muscles? Your muscle building workouts actually result in muscle breakdown and muscle build up. His exercises make this process faster than it would be under normal circumstances. When you’re building muscle, a protein absorption mechanism takes place. What makes it more effective for building muscle is when you end up with more muscle than you started with. How do you make your muscle building training and diet effective?

For starters, you need to consider your muscle building diet. Eat more protein than you normally do. Protein, as an anabolic component, would like to be stored in your muscles. Combine your muscle-building diet with a complementary exercise routine to build muscle. Your exercises should be able to stress your muscles so that they get stronger and bigger. Therefore, the powerful combination of effective muscle building is a high quality protein super diet coupled with a massive strength training exercise routine. This process is what you are looking for when looking for the oldest and best non-pharmaceutical technique for building muscle.

How much protein should you eat to build muscle?

During the first 20 days of strength training, muscle size increases by 0.2% each day. This figure is above the normal rate of growth of muscle mass. If you’re just starting out on your program, you’re basically going to need a higher amount of protein in your diet than a muscle builder who’s been training for years. As a beginner, you need to be more concerned about getting more protein in your muscle building diet.

How much protein do you need exactly? That’s 0.73 grams per pound of your body weight in a day. So if you weigh 180 pounds, your protein needs amount to 130 grams per day.

How often do you need to eat protein?

Protein synthesis, the process of taking protein from food and turning it into muscle, takes place when your body has consumed 20 to 25 grams of high-quality protein. The more protein you eat, the better protein synthesis works. You need to supply more protein in your muscle building diet. Four hours after your workout, protein synthesis peaks. In this case, you should eat protein immediately before and after your strength training.

Protein supplements also make a difference. Taking protein supplements makes you gain an additional 2 pounds of muscle in a 12-week period. In fact, experienced muscle builders take protein supplements before and after training to achieve maximum results from strength training. Eat a protein-rich meal 2-3 hours before training and another of the same meal 1-2 hours after you exercise.

Build stronger, bigger muscles faster by combining effective techniques in strength training and your muscle building diet.

Facts and curiosities of Air Hockey

admin

The idea behind the invention of the air hockey table was to provide a surface that was frictionless. So a team of three engineers named Crossman, Kendrick and Baldwin from Brunswick started working on this idea to create a frictionless surface and increase game speed.

Even after working hard for many years on the idea, they failed to generate interest in their idea. Then, in 1972, Bob Lemieux, a dedicated individual who had himself played air hockey with a puck and mallets, took the original engineers’ idea and picked up where they left off. Lemieux eventually succeeded in creating the first hockey table that was frictionless due to its low-flow air vents.

Air Hockey was an immediate success. It became so popular with the people that it became the first choice of every bar, club and game room. The game quickly led to a tournament and in 1973 the Houston Air Hockey Association formed the air hockey team. Two years later, the Air Table Hockey Association established the official rules of the game. After that time, annual championships and tournaments have been held. In fact, twelve players have won the title of Air Hockey World Champion.

No one had imagined that a game like hockey would become such a popular pastime. In the 1970s, when soccer and billiards were very popular, nobody thought that there could be innovative techniques (Zero Friction) for table games. Who should get credit for the air hockey table, Bob Lemieux or the three Brunswick engineers, remains a question. But at the end of the day, what really matters is the results.

As with most games, the current hockey rules and prototypes are different from the original because players have developed new and different stances and grips over the years. Drifts have become more complex. Shots are often made “drift”, where the puck travels in set patterns designed to throw off the opponent’s expectations and timing. Sometimes drifts are grouped into sets such that the player can hit the puck in a particular way to return it and hit it multiple times in a row to confuse the opponent. To add to the confusion for the opponent, one can play the puck so that it appears to be a specific drift hit in a particular direction, but the puck flies in another shape and direction due to spin or rapid movement.

Whether you want to get into the technical gameplay described above or just have some fun in your basement or arcade, it definitely delivers.
