Top 25 Worst Jobs To Have In 2010

<br><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">At this point in the recession it’s probably safe to say any job is a good job, but according to a study conducted by job search portal CareerCast, in order to identify the best, you have to also determine which are the worst. After all, not all of us can have employment in finances or IT industry. The worst 25 are quite surprising and their methodology makes me wonder if they took into account things like pensions, vacations and benefits. How else could cops and temporary circus workers rank so closely together? Whatever is the case, here is the list of 25 worst jobs in 2010. The list is ordered so that number 1 is the job with the title of the worst job in 2010.

The probe also sought to  disprove rumors that the "right-wing" agents of the FBI and CIA or the  Mafia had an interest in Monroe's death as a means of embarrassing  Robert F.

He fled to the Ugandan jungles where he was said to be taken care of by green African monkeys. In 1991 he was found hiding in a tree by a woman named Millie who was a local tribeswoman. After spotting him she went back to her village to alert the men who then went into the jungle to capture John. While they were eventually successful, John and the monkeys, which had become his protectors, fought back, throwing sticks to defend him. In the end he was captured and taken back the village.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Once back in the village he was cleaned up but his entire body was covered in hair called hypertrichosis, a condition that brings about excessive amounts of hair in places that there usually isn’t hair. Also since he was living in the wild he had contracted a case of intestinal worms that were said to be over half a meter long once they exited his body. He was full of injuries- mainly his knees from imitating how a monkey walks. He was then given to Paul and Molly Wasswa who ran an orphanage, and the two taught him how to speak, though many believe he knew how to talk before running away. Today he sings with the Pearl of Africa children’s choir and exhibits little to no animalistic behavior.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"></div><a href="http://afkra.blogspot.com/2013/01/top-5-feral-children.html#more">Read more »</a>

Ryanair already makes you pay a fee for using your credit card to make a booking. Nothing seems to irk travelers more than paying travel fees. What’s especially maddening about these charges is that in many cases - think checked luggage and in-flight pillows and food - we’re paying for things that were free until very recently.</span><br><br></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Why don’t the airlines simply raise their fares and do away with these extra travel fees? Because when they do raise fares, they drive travelers away. It’s easier to advertise low fares to entice buyers and then saddle them with a bevy of non-negotiable fees. Hotels and rental car companies do the same thing. And the fees are big business, bringing in an estimated $700 million per month for the major U.S. airlines. Clearly, these travel fees are not going to go away anytime soon. In fact, they’re on the increase, as the travel industry seeks to find more ways to nickel and dime us when we fly, stay in a hotel, and rent a car. The recession has simply forced many companies to get smarter about taking money out of our pockets.</span><br><br></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzh9Lkf6wanZYDkKi8_B6leAgo0rsTzSv8u5Kp57R-lsJhQdF1m3SBO5T8zco4QAOxyWPqCOsy2-am2EueMEmmJ9q-Sz8_vVDrPJ8kPAexcNOzBvhYqIA6BYiMoopPtsTzpoiE8fITR37R/s1600/wifi0903.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzh9Lkf6wanZYDkKi8_B6leAgo0rsTzSv8u5Kp57R-lsJhQdF1m3SBO5T8zco4QAOxyWPqCOsy2-am2EueMEmmJ9q-Sz8_vVDrPJ8kPAexcNOzBvhYqIA6BYiMoopPtsTzpoiE8fITR37R/s320/wifi0903.jpg" width="320"></a></div><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">If there’s a single travel fee that ticks off many travelers, it’s paying for Wi-Fi access at a hotel. Ironically, it’s the higher priced hotels that are guilty of this practice - low-flying chains often include it with your room rate. With charges typically ranging from $9.95 to $24 per day, plus local tax, it’s a fee that adds up quickly and goes straight to the hotel’s bottom line. Why do they need it? Now that cell phones have vanquished the revenues that hotels used to make on telephone surcharges, charging for Wi-Fi is one way to replace that lost cash.</span><br><br></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Or, take the redundant collision-damage and loss-damage waiver coverage, a.k.a. CDW/LDW, on rental cars, which can be as much as $16 per day - a fee that adds up over the course of a weeklong car rental. Here’s the rub: most car rental companies require you to pay with a credit card knowing most major cards already offer this protection. Annoying? You bet. The good news is that if you’re aware and proactive, you can avoid paying some of the worst fees you’re likely to encounter. Read on for 10 of the most annoying travel fees plaguing travelers - and ways you can avoid paying them.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"></span><br></div><a href="http://afkra.blogspot.com/2013/01/most-annoying-travel-fees.html#more">Read more »</a>

The World's Strangest Monuments

<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><i><b><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">From a baby-eating sculpture in Switzerland to Mongolia’s giant statue of Genghis Khan, the world’s weirdest monuments display local quirks.</span></b></i></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><b>From October 2009 By Lyndsey Matthews </b></i></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjX7QCguA9jCHpXWrzZmB-fZ9TfC2hW1A6sz8BNQb6-R3IDmMbDvvz_4j4SxKjiAXSemiou392X-9s7POY3sdeAWMzmvu48UY6phM-vUw-iF0rU8Y_2UcC0VuwlxeeJAbHPFqkdLMEzZbW/s1600/WinceslasPrague1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjX7QCguA9jCHpXWrzZmB-fZ9TfC2hW1A6sz8BNQb6-R3IDmMbDvvz_4j4SxKjiAXSemiou392X-9s7POY3sdeAWMzmvu48UY6phM-vUw-iF0rU8Y_2UcC0VuwlxeeJAbHPFqkdLMEzZbW/s200/WinceslasPrague1.jpg" width="200"></a></div><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">A sculpture of a dead horse strung upside down, with Saint Wenceslas mounted on its belly: that’s the odd sight that greets visitors to Prague’s Lucerna Palace. In a city revered for its Gothic beauty, this supine equine - with its tongue lolling out of its mouth and its tail hanging lifelessly - catches most people off-guard. Yet its subject and placement are hardly random: in 1999, artist David Cerny created it as a spoof of the right-side-up Wenceslas horse sculpture nearby.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Typically, of course, monuments are built to commemorate a significant event or celebrate an extraordinary life. But not all of them are heroic paeans to military victories; plenty, like Cerny’s dead horse, tend toward the bizarre. Some are created to shock and disturb, while others are meant to make a statement, tell a story, or just entertain. Still others have unknown origins. Either way, these strange creations are often worth seeking out, as they can help visitors get to know a place through its quirky traditions and local oddities.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioWhkYcbtwQ49snG5ZC1EhlOV1qFg-VQXTnYUM_mJXMPIbb2x2Yxd0kSXK6h7JxN3qffjFF7CeZ6M62mAO-5iWhXrWsLZH4q1KpUiRARlWPwIEPn-7JpGfToUDIPIom94Rh0Qvj7lmxgGc/s1600/200909-w-monument-duke.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioWhkYcbtwQ49snG5ZC1EhlOV1qFg-VQXTnYUM_mJXMPIbb2x2Yxd0kSXK6h7JxN3qffjFF7CeZ6M62mAO-5iWhXrWsLZH4q1KpUiRARlWPwIEPn-7JpGfToUDIPIom94Rh0Qvj7lmxgGc/s200/200909-w-monument-duke.jpg" width="168"></a></div><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Quirky tradition, in fact, is the entire reason that a number of travelers visit the Duke of Wellington statue in Scotland. The monument itself is so typical as to be unremarkable: a poised aristocrat rides atop a regal steed. But for the last 20 years it has been a magnet for pranksters, who scale the statue most nights to top the nobleman’s head with traffic cones. Though it started as a weekend prank for locals wandering home after a few drinks, the coning of the Duke soon escalated into a year-round game.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">But strange monuments can reflect a more serious side of history as well. Statues like Cerny’s horse in previously Communist countries are often meant to demonstrate the sense of humor that survived in spite of an oppressive regime. Others reconfigure Soviet-era relics to serve as a reminder of the painful past, like the collection of cast-off Communist statues in Budapest’s Memento Park. Not surprisingly, visitors here find an unending parade of grandiose monuments saluting the red regime. But one of the park’s more unique pieces is a colossal pair of boots standing alone on an even larger pedestal - a replica of what remained after a mob toppled a 27-foot-tall Stalin statue in 1956.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDnELnpi6dtAwlFp-BytbSWa1_erYTweWWJawoQLkpoDKT_RL-tq_2qU9J2fe3QGhf-swOBEDU9l2Jj3nKW39CYhDKPguadidTzBr39NvjGNqjFtnOXPjBgzxNwJoPkQGZg2oRkq1enIzC/s1600/genghis-khan-statue-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDnELnpi6dtAwlFp-BytbSWa1_erYTweWWJawoQLkpoDKT_RL-tq_2qU9J2fe3QGhf-swOBEDU9l2Jj3nKW39CYhDKPguadidTzBr39NvjGNqjFtnOXPjBgzxNwJoPkQGZg2oRkq1enIzC/s200/genghis-khan-statue-1.jpg" width="133"></a></div><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">For some unconventional statues, sheer size is what sets it apart. And size was clearly the point of the 131-foot-tall, 250-ton Genghis Khan statue unveiled in 2008 in the remote Mongolian steppe. The stainless steel giant - an epic symbol of the rapidly growing Mongolian nationalist movement - is visible from miles away.</span><br><br></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Charge your camera batteries before visiting these monuments: You might need photographic evidence to prove that they’re not just a figment of your jet-lagged mind.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><a href="http://afkra.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-worlds-strangest-monuments.html#more">Read more »</a>

On October 21, 1978, the 20-year-old Valentich was piloting a Cessna 182L light aircraft over the Bass Strait en route to King Island, Australia. During the flight, Valentich was in radio communication with Melbourne air traffic control, and he repeatedly made mention of a "strange aircraft hovering on top of me." Right before a strange noise severed the transmission, Valentich went on to say, "It is hovering and it's not an aircraft." Other moments of the radio transmission recorded Valentich saying, "Delta Sierra Juliet—Melbourne. It seems like it’s (stationary) or (chasing me). What I'm doing right now is orbiting, and the thing is just orbiting on top of me also … It's got a green light, and sort of metallic (like). It’s all shiny (on) the outside." In the moments leading up to Valentich's last reported contact, a plumber named Roy Manifold had set up a time lapse camera on the shoreline to capture the sun setting over the water. Upon developing the photos, the images appeared to depict a fast-moving object exiting the water nearly 20 minutes before Valentich's final transmission. A report conducted by The Scientific Journal of Exploration said witnesses reported an "erratically moving green light in the sky" at the time of Valentich's flight. No trace of Frederick Valentich nor his aircraft has ever been found.
