Looking for cruise ship job

Now is one of the best times to look for cruise ship job vacancies.

The cruise business is on the up and up, with new routes, ships and style concepts constantly appearing. The growth of specialist cruises and trend for in-house spas are two reasons for the rise in popularity. And then there's the more sobering point that in an increasingly unpredictable world ship routes are easier and cheaper to change than airborne ones.

Speaking of unpredictable worlds, safety precautions have always been part of shipping lore. Never more so than now. New cruise crew will have to know all about safety before they step on a ship, so be prepared to take on this training if you are considering a job on the high seas.

Whether you're interested in catering, entertainment or the actual sailing of the ship, the internet is a good place to start researching. There are sites devoted specifically to cruise ship job vacancies where cruise lines will post staff requirements. It's also worth looking at the sites of specific lines to see what openings they have. GA_googleFillSlot("Indigo_Cruises_Bottomcenter_400x415_YouTube");

Consider, also, contacting the International Transport Workers' Federation (ITWF) for information. It's important to bear in mind that it's not all jolly, Roger.

A study in 2002 by War on Want and the ITWF, called 'What it's Really Like to Work On Board Cruise Ships', reported many instances of bad conditions for workers - cramped living quarters, questionable sanitation, overlong hours, bad pay, autocratic management.

.

Of course, it can be argued that in an industry employing more than 100,000 there will always be some unlucky people. Nonetheless, if you are considering a job on a particular ship, it is well worth talking to people who are already working on board if you can. Don't assume that because a line is big and well-known that it will treat its employees well.

If you want to witness the working life at sea before you bite, there's always a cargo cruise. On these trips - which can work out much cheaper than an ordinary cruise trip -you are second fiddle to the cargo (hence the name) but still travel in comfort.

.

There are many freighters which will take passengers - contact an agent such as Strand Voyages or Freighter World Cruises for more information.

La Pomme de Newton

¿Sabia usted que... ?
¿Sabia usted que... ?

La manzana...
... es uno de los frutos más populares y saludables de la naturaleza?

No sólo porque es rica en aminoácidos,
azúcares y fibras sino también porque tiene propiedades antiinflamatorias, es un laxante suave y diurético e incluso es utilizado como producto de belleza para suavizar el cutis.

Más allá de todas estas propiedades y beneficios, una serie de estudios realizados en Italia, Irlanda y Francia, han demostrado que comer manzanas puede ayudar a reducir hasta un 10% el nivel de colesterol en sangre, gracias a una fibra soluble llamada pectina.

Así que ya lo sabe… si tiene problemas de colesterol no sólo deberá cuidarse de no comer alimentos con mucha grasa sino también de aumentar el consumo de manzanas en su dieta.

Egyptian archeologists to search for Cleopatra tomb

MOSCOW, September 28 (RIA Novosti) - Egyptian archeologists will carry out new explorations in October to search for the tombs of Cleopatra and her beloved Mark Antony, the head of Egypt's Higher Council of Antiquities said on Monday.
.
"One of the most important projects is to find the tombs of the famous pharaoh Cleopatra, the seventh in the Ptolemy dynasty, and Mark Antony. These tombs might be located in the city of Taposiris Magna, 50 kilometers from Alexandria," Zahi Hawas said at a news conference in Moscow.
.
Hawas, who is leading the expedition, said statues of Cleopatra and Mark Antony, coins bearing Cleopatra's image and a large number of tombs had been found next to a temple where the couple might be buried.
.
"These necropolises on both sides of the temple in Taposiris Magna are important evidence that high representatives of the royal family were buried in the temple," Hawas said.
.
He said his team would carry out their work in the middle of October, at which time they could find evidence to support their theory.
.
The archaeologist added that most Egyptian treasures have yet to be found, despite many years of excavations, as only 30% of sites have been explored.
"Seventy percent remain underground. The problem is that all these monuments are under buildings," he said.
.
Hawas also said that Egyptian authorities would next week demand a Nefertiti bust from a Berlin museum as Cairo has proof the artifact was taken out of the country illegally.
.
The Nefertiti bust was discovered at the start of the 20th century by a German archeologist who took it to Berlin, where it has since remained.

Astronaut sends first message in sign language from space station 

An astronaut during a spacewalk. For the first time, NASA astronaut Tracy Caldwell Dyson has sent a message in American Sign Language (ASL) from the International Space Station to the deaf community.

 For the first time, NASA astronaut Tracy Caldwell Dyson has sent a message in American Sign Language (ASL) from the International Space Station to the deaf community.

In the video, Caldwell Dyson answered several questions about living and working aboard the station and how she became interested in sign language.

“I am truly grateful for this opportunity on behalf of the deaf community and the multitudes of students who will benefit from seeing their language spoken in space. It is my hope that this video will help inspire our next generation of scientists and explorers,” said Caldwell Dyson. As NASA’s missions advance beyond Earth’s orbit, the agency will continue its efforts to highlight its diverse workforce. NASA strives to assist the next generation of researchers to gain access to science-related fields.

Caldwell Dyson will work on several other videos targeted to users of ASL. When the videos are completed, they will be posted on the NASA’s website.
