Seeing the world on a cruise ship can feel like the adventure of a lifetime, but then reality hits when you come back to shore. But what if it was possible to live on a boat full time, especially a cruise ship? Its obviously expensive, but there might just be a way around that. One couple has done it, and so can you with some planning.

According to Upworthy, a couple in their fifties has transitioned to living full time on a cruise ship. Well, that may be a little misleading. Theyre not living on one specific cruise ship but bouncing from cruise to cruise as they travel around the world year-round.

So how can they afford this? Angelina Burk and her husband Richard manage this by checking deals through loyalty memberships. Their goal is to spend about $100 a night, which will make their annual bill about $36,500. Thats much cheaper than a mortgage rate.

This enabled the Burks to jump-start their new life on the water. They sold their home and now use the money they made to live full time on cruise ships.

It did help that the Burks were very frugal before making this jump. They saved up their money so they could retire early.

Is it possible for you to live on a cruise ship and see the world? If you plan accordingly, yes. Cruise ships travel all over the world. There are probably a few destinations they wont visit, but that could be your vacation away from cruise ships if you need a break.

While it may seem expensive at first, as you need to have an income of at least $36,500 if you plan to follow the Burks example, there are some other factors to consider.

First, you dont have to spend money on groceries due to the already available food. Theres also no need to cook, so this could be great for anyone who likes eating out.

Laundry and cleaning are taken care of as well, so youll never have to strip a bed again. You also dont need a vehicle for transportation, so this will cut down spending, especially as gas prices continue to grow.

Then theres the fact that you dont have to worry about as many bills. Your water bill, utilities, repairs, and all the other drama that goes along with buying a house will be gone. And those rowdy neighbors will be gone in a week once you transfer to a new cruise.

What if you like the idea of living on a boat but hate crowds? That can be an issue if youre looking at cruise ships, but there are other options.

Renting a large yacht is one such option. You can go in with a group of friends that you enjoy being around or even bring some extended family members along for the ride.

There are also small houseboats you could check out. By renting, you may have to deal with some repairs on your own while out at sea, and there wont be anyone to take care of the laundry and cooking for you.

However, houseboats often come with kitchen setups, so that shouldnt be that big of an issue.

So is life on the high seas for you? If you arent sure, a quick way to figure it out is to try a cruise or rent a boat for the afternoon. Its certainly not something everyone would want to do, but it may just be perfect for you.

A Couple in Their 50s Abandons Their House to Live on a Cruise Ship - MotorBiscuit

A couple who cruise together stay together, with one Aussie husband and wife about to embark on a two-and-a-half year adventure on the high seas.

Marty and Jessica Ansen have been cruising together for over 40 years, but their passion was put on hold by the COVID-19 pandemic.

So to catch-up on all the trips they missed out on during lockdown, the Ansens booked an astounding 54 cruises back-to-back.

READ MORE: First cruise in more than two years to leave Sydney

"Cruising is what we do. Once COVID-19 came, we couldn't cruise, so we booked as many as we could once it started again," Marty told Today.

Jessica said cruising is "just wonderful" and since their first cruise on the Fair Star in the 80s, they haven't looked back.

"You have all your meals prepared, you don't have to cook, you go to a show every evening and go dancing after the show, then you go for supper and head back to your cabin," she said.

For anyone wondering how the Ansens avoid getting cabin fever being in such close quarters with each other all the time, the couple said there is plenty to do on a cruise ship and they sometimes spend a whole day apart.

"We only live in a cabin at night. So we can go away and do our own thing - we don't have to be joined at the hip," Marty said.

"We get up in the morning and play table tennis for an hour together, then Marty disappears for the day because he has bowls and deck sports and I go downstairs because I'm into the quizzes and bingo," Jessica said.

Meet the couple who booked 54 back-to-back cruises - TODAY Show

Imagine a road with two lanes in each direction. One lane is for slow cars, and the other is for fast ones. For electrons moving along a quantum wire, researchers in Cambridge and Frankfurt have discovered that there are also two 'lanes', but electrons can take both at the same time!

Current in a wire is carried by the flow of electrons. When the wire is very narrow (one-dimensional, 1D) then electrons cannot overtake each other, as they strongly repel each other. Current, or energy, is carried instead by waves of compression as one particle pushes on the next.

It has long been known that there are two types of excitation for electrons, as in addition to their charge they have a property called spin. Spin and charge excitations travel at fixed, but different speeds, as predicted by the Tomonaga-Luttinger model many decades ago. However, theorists are unable to calculate what precisely happens beyond only small perturbations, as the interactions are too complex.

The Cambridge team has measured these speeds as their energies are varied, and find that a very simple picture emerges (now published in the journalScience Advances). Each type of excitation can have low or high kinetic energy, like cars on a road, with the well-known formulaE=1/2 mv2, which is a parabola. But for spin and charge the massesmare different, and, since charges repel and so cannot occupy the same state as another charge, there is twice as wide a range of momentum for charge as for spin.

The results measure energy as a function of magnetic field, which is equivalent to momentum or speedv, showing these two energy parabolas, which can be seen in places all the way up to five times the highest energy occupied by electrons in the system.

'It's as if the cars (like charges) are travelling in the slow lane but their passengers (like spins) are going more quickly, in the fast lane', explained Pedro Vianez, who carried out the measurements for his PhD at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge. 'Even when the cars and passengers slow down or speed up, they still remain separate!'

'What is remarkable here is that we are no longer talking about electrons but, instead, about composite (quasi)particles of spin and charge - commonly dubbed spinons and holons, respectively. For a long time, these were believed to become unstable at such high energies, yet what is observed points to exactly the opposite - they seem to behave in a way very similar to normal, free, stable electrons, each with their own mass, except that they are not, in fact, electrons, but excitations of a whole sea of charges or spins!' said Oleksandr Tsyplyatyev, the theorist who led the work at the Goethe University in Frankfurt.

'This paper represents the culmination of over a decade of experimental and theoretical work on the physics of one-dimensional systems', said Chris Ford, who led the experimental team. 'We were always curious to see what would happen if we took the system to higher energies, so we progressively improved our measurement resolution to pick out new features. We fabricated a series of semiconducting arrays of wires ranging from 1 to 18 microns in length (that is, down to a thousandth of the millimetre or approximately 100 times thinner than a human hair), with as few as 30 electrons in a wire, and measured them at 0.3 K (or in other words, -272.85C, ten times colder than outer space).'

Electrons tunnel from the 1D wires into an adjacent two-dimensional electron gas, which acts as a spectrometer, producing a map of the relation between energy and momentum. 'This technique is in every way very similar to angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), which is a commonly used method for determining the band structure of materials in condensed matter physics. The key difference is that, rather than probing at the surface, our system is buried a hundred nanometres below it', said Vianez. This allowed the researchers to achieve resolution and control unprecedented for this type of spectroscopy experiment.

These results now open the question of whether this spin-charge separation of the whole electron sea remains robust beyond 1D, e.g., in high-temperature superconducting materials. It may also now be applied to logic devices that harness spin (spintronics), which offer a drastic reduction (by three orders of magnitude!) of the energy consumption of a transistor, simultaneously improving our understanding of quantum matter as well as offering a new tool for engineering quantum materials.

Damaging Heavy Swell And Coastal Inundation Warnings Now In Force For Parts Of Fiji - Fiji Sun Online

ORLAND PARK, IL Get ready to go on a high-seas pirate adventure on land.

The Cirque Italia Water Circus has sailed into Orland Square Mall and is anchored under a giant white and blue big top tent near the east parking lot between JCPenney and Sears.

WGN News Now ventured under the Big Top for a peek at the show pegged as the first traveling water circus in the United States.

Its a really unique show because of our water stage. said the shows project manager and stage aerialist, Morgaine Rosenthal. We have a 35,000-gallon water tank underneath our stage. The stage lifts up and then we perform with the water as well, and it combines with these incredible death-defying circus acts.

Rosenthal is also the shows mermaid and performs an aerial strap set, or aerial dance, with a pirate who is played by her boyfriend. Its a mermaid-pirate love story she laughed.

Youre going to see clowns, jugglers, music, the lights , so its a pretty cool thing. And this year we have the pirates. So, youre going to see sword fighting. Everything related to the circus, but with pirates. added Hector Polo Pazaran who performs in the shows bow-and-arrow and Chinese pole acts.

Pazaran also said the shows have a lot of energy and the audience will be on the edge of their seats while watching.

Cirque Italia was founded in 2012 by Italian entrepreneur Manuel Rebecchi. It began with the creation of the Water Circus and in 2017 a second Water Circus was added. In 2018, Paranormal Cirque, a fun fusion of circus, theater and cabaret was added; then Cirque Slammer, a prison-themed show was created in 2021. All four shows are currently touring the country. Cirque Italia also has a no-animal policy and believes in showcasing the talent of humans and their ability to do extreme stunts.

We are bringing high level entertainment to all these local communities, and I feel thats something very special for us because this is entertainment that you wont find everywhere. Typically for this kind of entertainment you need to go to New York, or Las Vegas so we feel very fortunate to bring it to all these communities. said Rosenthal.

The Cirque Italia Water Circus team consist of 55 crew members from around the world, and they travel with the show for eleven months of the year.

Pazaran said the cast likes performing in the Chicago area because the audiences are always loud and excited, plus they like to visit downtown Chicago and take in the sights.

The Cirque Italia Water Circus will be in Orland Park until Sunday June 19th, then it sails to Aurora where it will be set up outside of the Chicago Premium Outlets June 23 through July 4.

Come and see this new show with pirates, and come and be amazed and forget about everything thats going on outside for at least two hours. said Pazaran. Bring your children, bring your grandma. Everybody is going to have fun. Its a show for all ages, so youre just not going to regret it.

Pirates, Mermaids and 35,000 gallons of water! Cirque Italia Water Circus offers high seas adventure in the suburbs - WGN TV Chicago

Recall the last time that you stood on the shore, enjoying the briny breeze that gently caressed your skin, and the sounds and smells of the sea.You may have noticed in the distance a large sailing vessel.Have you ever considered all the moving parts that contribute to these floating cities? Beyond the logistics of setting out to sea, a ship contains an impressive array of communication devices and capabilities. Whether that ship is in port, or 500 miles from shore, the ship is never without communication.

There are often more than 150,000 ships at sea over a 24-hour period. To add some perspective, this is three times greater than the average number of airplanes that are tracked by the Federal Aviation Administration on any given day. When combined, all the ships at sea form one of the largest mobile communication networks imaginable.As is often the case with a security mindset, this level of complexity creates great challenges.

A ship is capable of ship-to-shore communication at close range through the use of traditional terrestrial radio, or shore stations, and when far out to sea, satellite communication is used. To add to the complexity, there are more than ten satellite companies that provide maritime communication services.The international scope of sea-based communications is governed by both multinational organizations, as well as advisory organizations, such as the International Telecommunications Union (ITU).

It is easy to think that these impenetrable hulls are immune to security problems. After all, they are somewhat akin to a remote island, far removed from our land-locked security concerns. However, there are threats to maritime vessels, both physical, and virtual. In the event that the physical criminals increase their technological competencies, the results to a fleet could (Read more...)

Crude Oil, WTI, Brent, Russia, China, Backwardation, Volatility, OVX

Crude oil has surged to 3-month highs as a number of factors over the last week have tightened the market.

This week, the worlds largest importer of the energy, China, eased lockdown restrictions in Beijing and Shanghai. This potential uplift in demand comes at a time of limited supply due to the Ukraine war.

OPEC+ upped their targeted quota to 648k barrels per day last week, but the market has reservations that the cartel will be able to meet these increases.

Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs have re-iterated their forecast of US$150 and US$140 bbl respectively for later this year.

As the West continues to escalate embargos of Russian oil exports, this has pushed them toward innovative efforts of distribution. It has been reported by Bloomberg this week that the first mid-Atlantic Ocean ship-to-ship transfer occurred in late May.

Russian oil spurred by Europe was sent out in an Aframax tanker (capacity 80k 120k deadweight tonnes of oil) to meet up with a Supertanker (capacity > 500k tonnes deadweight of oil).

It is anticipated that the supertanker will receive a few more loads before heading to its destination, anticipated to be India.

Ship-to-ship transfers are not unusual, but they are normally done in safe calm waters, rather than on the high seas. As the sanctions start to bite, mid ocean transfers could become a regular feature of the market.

Backwardation remains in play in the oil market, and the move from US$110 bbl to over US$ 120 bbl was pre-empted by a spike in backwardation to over US$3 bbl.

Chart created in TradingView

Backwardation is when the contract closest to settlement is more expensive than the contract that is settling after the first one. It highlights a willingness by the market to pay more to have immediate delivery, rather than having to wait.

Backwardation has eased off in the last few days and could indicate that a push to the March high of US$ 130.50 may not be imminent for now.

Potentially offsetting that is the OVX index, a measure of oil volatility. It has remained sanguine toward this run up, which could indicate that the market is getting used to elevated prices.

Looking ahead, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) reports on inventory later today.

Crude Oil Price Pumps Higher as China Eases Restrictions and Russia is Forced to the High Seas - DailyFX

The Scientific and Statistical Committee of the North Pacific Fishery Management Council hears a report on salmon abundance on June 8, 2022, prior to the June 9 start of the full Council meeting. (KCAW/Woolsey)

The bycatch of chinook and chum salmon is on the agenda, as the spring meeting of the North Pacific Management Council gets underway in Sitka this week (June 9-14).

In addition to hearing how much salmon is being intercepted in the Gulf of Alaska and Bering Sea by the trawl fisheries, the council will review a proposal to supplement the human observer program with electronic monitoring.

Note: Find links to the Councils agenda and meeting livestream here.

The North Pacific Fishery Management Council regulates the so-called federal fisheries which take place outside the three-mile limit of Alaskas state waters, and within the exclusive economic zone of the United States which extends 200 miles offshore.

Strictly by the numbers, thats dozens of different species of bottomfish and crab, and the council will divide its time over five days among many of them. But the headline issues as determined by the number of comments the council has received are the bycatch of salmon by the trawl fleet in the Bering Sea and in the Gulf of Alaska, and the related issue of Electronic Monitoring, or the installation of cameras aboard trawlers to ensure compliance with existing bycatch reporting methods.

Salmon bycatch has come to the forefront in recent years due to steep declines in chinook stocks in many of Alaskas major river systems, and severe cutbacks in opportunities for subsistence, sport, and commercial fisheries in many areas of Alaska. Among the stack of comments on the issue, the Council has received a letter from the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, Western Interior Alaska, Eastern Interior Alaska, and Seward Peninsula Subsistence Regional Advisory Councils requesting a significant reduction in the chinook and chum salmon bycatch in the Bering Sea commercial fisheries. The groups want to see the bycatch cap of kings reduced from 45,000 to 16,000, and the cap of chum salmon reduced from 500,000 to 250,000.

For others, thats not enough. The Sitka Fish & Game Regional Advisory Council last October took strong position against halibut bycatch in the Gulf of Alaska; one of the authors of the Sitka letter, Eric Jordan, doesnt mince words in his latest comments regarding salmon bycatch: To me the issue isnt bycatch, Jordan writes, Trawling is not an acceptable way to harvest fish and like salmon traps and high seas salmon traps it must be prohibited area by area starting with halibut nurseries and crab savings grounds.

Regardless of whether it lowers the cap on salmon bycatch during its Sitka meeting, the Council will consider how to better enforce the existing cap. Since 2020 some trawl vessels have been equipped with Electronic Monitoring or EM. The Electronic Monitoring systems arent intended for catch accounting, or to identify and record every salmon caught in a trawl net; rather, EM is intended for compliance monitoring when the catch is offloaded at a processor. Comments to the Council overwhelmingly support adopting EM, but for two: One, a fisheries observer, argued that EM greatly increased the workload for herself and her colleagues who sampled fish at processors. A second commenter said simply, Dont put 100% cameras on our trawlers, it will be game over for the trawl fleet. The council shouldnt bow to a group of whiners that are too lazy to move to better fishing.

The North Pacific Fishery Management Council meets in Sitka through June 14.

BEIJING Increased monitoring has led to sharp improvement in coastal water quality

China continues to improve the quality of its seawater, as efforts to enhance the management of sewage outlets that open into the sea have been boosted, according to a recent bulletin on the countrys marine environment, which was unveiled by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment ahead of World Oceans Day, which falls on Wednesday.

About 97.7 percent of the countrys seawater sampled was listed as having Grade I water, the top tier in the national four-tier quality system, last year, an increase of 0.9 percentage points from a year earlier.

The document also noted a continuous decrease in areas with seawater below Grade IV, the lowest level, and increasingly clean coastal waters.

The proportion of areas with fairly good coastal water quality reached 81.3 percent, a year-on-year increase of 3.9 percentage points.

Seawater quality is ranked as fairly good if it is at or above Grade II.

The improvement is the result of effective measures in water pollution control, Wang Juying, director of the National Marine Environmental Monitoring Center, told a recent news conference.

Though showing up in the sea, marine ecological and environmental problems have their sources on land, she noted, adding that in general, rivers emptying into the sea last year were found to contain only mild levels of pollution.

In a move to further enhance control, the State Council, Chinas Cabinet, unveiled a guideline dedicated to the management of sewage outlets in March, vowing to locate and supervise every sewer that empties into the sea and watercourses in major river basins by the end of 2025.

Wang also noted that compared to some other parts of the world, the density of trash and microplastics in the seas off China is at a low to medium level.

Monitoring by the center last year showed that plastic waste accounted for 92.9 percent of floating rubbish. In terms of the trash found on beaches and on the seabed, 75.9 percent and 83.3 percent were plastic, respectively.

On average, 0.44 pieces of microplastic were found per cubic meter of seawater sampled, Wang added.

China began to include marine waste in regular marine monitoring work in 2007 and launched microplastic monitoring in 2016.

To comprehensively determine the distribution of plastic waste and microplastics in coastal waters, Wang said, China has begun monitoring key estuaries and bays, and established a marine waste monitoring network in all prefecture-level coastal cities.

The ministry plans to gradually expand the network to all coastal county-level cities, she continued.

Aside from pollution control, China has also intensified efforts to conserve fish resources, with an annual fishing moratorium imposed in coastal waters during the peak season since 1995.

In 2020, that moratorium was extended to Chinese vessels in the Atlantic and the East Pacific, and on May 25 of this year, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs announced that China will unilaterally observe a trial high-seas fishing moratorium in the northern Indian Ocean from July 1 to Sept 30.

The existing high seas moratorium and the trial this year mean that all areas and fish species not managed by international or regional fishery organizations will be subject to the moratorium.
