Titanic Akan Berlayar Kembali
Titanic, kapal pesiar super mewah yang legendaris itu akan berlayar kembali. Clive Palmer, seorang milyuner tambang asal Australia, adalah penggagasnya. Ia memiliki rencana untuk membuat replika dari kapal Titanic dan menamainya Titanic II.
Titanic II dijadwalkan akan mulai berlayar pada akhir tahun 2016. Keistimewaan dari Titanic II adalah ia akan memiliki desain interior yang sama persis dengan pendahulunya, hal ini dilakukan agar penumpang dapat merasakan seolah-olah berada pada kapal Titanic yang sesungguhnya.
Titanic II mampu mengangkut 2435 penumpang dan 900 kru. Kapal yang berada dibawah bendera Blue Star Line ini akan dibangun di CSC Jinling Shipyard Cina dengan perkiraan biaya sebesar 400 Juta dollar
. Palmer mengatakan bahwa sudah ada 40.000 orang yang menyatakan berminat untuk mengikuti pelayaran perdana Titanic II padahal kapasitas Titanic II sendiri hanya 2435 penumpang. Bahkan ada 16 orang yang menyatakan mau membayar hingga 1 juta dollar hanya untuk ikut pelayaran perdana tersebut. Berikut adalah tampilan Titanic II kelak berdasarkan simulasi komputer. cekidot gan

Kristiana Kahakauwila | This is Paradise
Kahakai Kitchen
Kristiana Kahakauwila digs deep into the culture and gives the reader rare glimpses of life in the “real” Hawaii not the rainbow-studded tropical paradise surface that people most often see in movies or on vacation. The stories in This is Paradise explore the deep tensions between local and tourist, tradition and expectation, façade and authentic self, provides an unforgettable portrait of life as it’s truly being lived on Maui, Oahu, Kauai and the Big Island.
In the title story, three groups of local women from different walks of life take turns observing and judging the behaviors of a young female tourist in Waikiki who learns that “paradise” has a darker side.
Read an excerpt.
Wanle looks at betrayal, revenge and the underground world of cock-fighting on Maui.
The Road to Hana finds a young couple traveling in Maui and struggling with which of the two is more Hawaiian—the Caucasian male, Honolulu born and raised or the native Hawaiian female who was born and raised in Nevada.
Thirty-Nine Rules for Making a Hawaiian Funeral Into a Drinking Game is the humorous but poignant observations of local family behaviors from a hapa haole (half white, half foreign) female, born and raised in California but in Kauai for her grandmother’s funeral.
Portrait of a Good Father explores the effects of grief on the members of a Honolulu family (father, mother, father’s mistress, daughter/sister) when their son/brother is killed in a hit in run.
The Old Paniolo Way has an in-the-closet gay son returning to the Big Island to support his sister and be with his dying cowboy/rancher father while struggling with both his impending loss and the secrets he is keeping from his family.
These stories aren’t “pretty” with happily ever-afters, they are raw and real, moving and full of angst, and strong emotions. Author Kahakauwila truly captures the essence of Hawaii—its beauty as well as its warts and brings it to life in colorful descriptions and language choice—lapsing into Hawaiian Pidgin, (the form of language or communication used in varying degrees by many Hawaii residents) when appropriate in the dialog. I found myself laughing in parts, moved to tears in others and finding familiarity—I do know some of these people and have been to many of these places and events.

Baoer 388 Fountain Pen
I was on a family vacation a few months ago and, as luck would have it, there was a fountain pen proprietor relatively close to where we were staying. I decided to go "souvenir" shopping with my son, and for some odd reason my Garmin navigation system guided me right to the pen shop's doorstep.
I was able to resist the urge to buy another pen for myself, but I caved when my son asked me to buy him something as a souvenir. I gave him an allowance of only ten bucks and was surprised when he actually found a decent fountain pen for only nine dollars:
The pen looks somewhat pleasing to the eye, and it has a body that is made of metal. The pen was not offered in different nib sizes, so I assume that it has a medium nib on it. It came with a converter, and it accepts standard international ink cartridges. The pen feels pretty solid in the hand, and it weighed in at about 25.2 grams with the converter inked up.
The nib performs in a satisfactory manner. It's not the best nib I've written with, but it's certainly not the worst. It has decent flow and writes smoothly most of the time. I have experienced some skipping incidents, but nothing out of the ordinary for a cheap pen.
My kid likes the converter and the gold tinted nib of the Baoer 388. I think its a great pen for him because I won't lose any sleep if he breaks it, trades it for a Pokémon card, or loses it. That said, he may be over this pen already because I recently overheard him saying: "I wish I had a GOOD fountain pen, like one of yours."
Anyhow, my takeaway is this: the Baoer 388 is a decent choice for a beginner fountain pen. It's a "real" fountain pen with a converter, and it's compatible with standard ink cartridges, which makes it convenient. I would still recommend the Pilot 78G as a first option (I think the 78G writes better), but the Baoer 388 is a nice alternative.

Protein Bars Made From Cricket Flour
Eco
When Greg Sewitz and Gabi Lewis created their protein bars from organic and all-natural ingredients—raw cacao, dates, almond butter and coconut honey, vanilla and sea salt—they wanted a high source of protein. So naturally they went with cricket flour which is slow roasted and milled from crickets. The result is a bar that is high in protein, low in sugar, incredibly nutritionally dense, and packed with omega 3 fatty acids, iron and calcium.
Crickets are exceptionally nutritious. They are high in protein (69% by dry weight), low in fat and contain all the essential amino acids. They are also high in micronutrients: crickets have more iron than beef and almost as much calcium as milk.
Sewitz and Lewis say their bars taste great and their chef has overseen three Michelin Star restaurants and was the Head Chef of R&D at The Fat Duck in England, one of the best restaurants in the world.
Sewitz says there’s some evidence that insects don’t feel pain–at least as we typically conceive of it—so if that’s your reason for being a vegetarian, then this makes sense too.
