There was only one small part in Book 2 where the level of Sci-fi got a little heavy for me but it all sort of fitted into place in the end, the many qoutes and references to Philosophy & theology read a bit like a students study list, but for those who are unfamiliar with these works I suggest looking these authours up you may enjoy what you read.
This has been a fabulous meld of Sci-fi & fantasy & I would recomend it to anyone who likes these genres, you might just be as amzed as I am.
At the end of Book 4 it says "MATTHEW STOVER believes that nearly everything worth knowing about his life can be found in his books"
Wow what an amazing man!, I am honoured that he has shared his thoughts with us humble readers.
Its deplorable what an author will do to a character that readers love, yet it not only works well in the book but gives the reader a semblance of control as they get to see the "hero" fight against the machine that holds not only the fate of Overworld in one hand but the minds of those within our own.
Its cleverly written, has an absolute ton of magical moments within and the reader will feel that they more than get their money's worth by tales end which when added to the authors no holds barred style of storytelling really makes you, as the viewer, feel very specially to have been allowed to be part of it. All round a cracking book and a series that has been an absolute star from the start.
If you want an easy, exciting fantasy/sci-fi read, stay well away. If you're willing to do some fairly heavy reading in order to delve into Caine's psychology, then you might like this a lot.
No pulled punches, no waves crashing on beaches. Caine kills the bad guys and loves the ladies. If you want escapism, which is well written and a cross between Sci Fi and Fantasy this is the series for you. . The swan song for a character that started as a duckling.
Of course Caine is a wonderful character and even a complex storyline can't hide the wonderful bluntness of his actions. It's also well written. I just found the story way too complex to really enjoy.
How happy I am they had a section for other authors.
If you have yet to read Matthew Stover`s first in the series, stop wasting time and buy it. What a fantastic roller coaster ride its been and what a great anti hero Caine is.

ULTIMATE GAME OF
Northern Ireland is officially -
'The Home of Thrones'
Fabled castles, haunted forests and now a stunning, hand-woven tapestry – Game of Thrones® has become a part of Northern Ireland’s epic story.
Westeros might feel like another world, but the Seven Kingdoms are very real. The dramatic landscape of Game of Thrones® finds a home in Northern Ireland.
As one of the key filming locations for the hit television show, this is a place where fantasy comes to life. You can imagine White Walkers roaming the forests, direwolves howling in the night and dragons soaring overheard. So be brave, and take your first steps down the Kingsroad to discover the wonders of Westeros.
This fully guided, premium-all access two day tour takes in the best Game of Thrones filming locations in Northern Ireland.
See first-hand the stunning scenery featured as the backdrop in the HBO’s series when you join us for an unforgettable tour.
For prices of this Premium and private group tour simply call us or email us at.
This Premium tour is over two days.
Day one covers the the North Coast filming locations in Antrim
with a visit to Titanic Quarter to see the Season 8 Kings Landing set - the largest and most expensive set in TV history and to see the location of the main filming studio.
Day two covers the southern locations in Down. Including Winterfell, the haunted forest and much much more!
Titanic Quarter, Belfast
A quick stop to visit to the hub of productions for the show - The famous Paint Hall Studio. Once part of the most famous shipyard in the world that built the Titanic, the Paintball is now one of the biggest tv and film studios in Europe and is the location of the Iron Throne itself. You will be able to catch a glimpse of the new Kings Landing set that has been constructed for season 8. It is the biggest and most expensive tv set ever built and will be retained after filming finishes in summer 2018 to be kept as a tourist attraction!
Mussenden Temple and Downhill Beach (Dragonstone Beach)
Mussenden Temple overlooks one of the North Coasts most beautiful beaches, Downhill Beach. Stretching for over 11km this beach provides the perfect location for Mussenden Temple. This Classical round temple was built to be a summer library, while today it stands dramatically on top of a cliff, with views of the Northern Irish and Donegal coast. Both the Mussenden Temple and Downhill Beach were used in Game of Thrones as the location for the Dragonstone exterior. This is the spot where the old gods burn on the beach, where Stannis pulls the flaming sword and Melisandre chants: “For the night is dark and full of terrors” in 'Lightbringer'.
Ballintoy Harbour (Pyke, The Iron Islands - Lordsport)
Ballintoy Bay is the real-world location of Lordsport (the port of Pyke in the Iron Islands). This picturesque little fishing village and its harbour are one of the most beautiful parts of the coast of Antrim. The production team of the series chose this wonderful place to be the port of Pyke, where Theon Greyjoy sets foot back on the Iron Islands, admires his ship and has some trouble with his crew.
Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge & Larrybane (Renley's Camp)
Suspended almost 100 ft (30 m) above sea level, the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge was first erected by salmon fishermen 350 years ago. Today it is a popular tourist destination, attracting thousands of thrill-seekers (and birdwatchers!) to the North Coast every year. If you are bold enough to cross the 65 ft (20 m) bridge, stretching from the mainland to 'Rocky Island', you will be rewarded with fantastic views of Rathlin Island, Scotland and the Causeway Coast. Get a bird's eye view of the clear, green water flowing around the ancient caves and caverns far below - if you dare to look down.
Larrybane was the dramatic spot chosen for Renly Baratheon’s camp in Season 2.
Murlough Bay (Storms End)
Located in North East County Antrim, Murlough Bay is an awe-inspiring location. Murlough is best known for its outstanding beauty, remoteness and views across the sea to Rathlin Island and the Mull of Kintyre. Plus the cows that sometimes graze along the sandy dunes. Murlough Bay becomes the Iron Islands in Season 3. This is the spot where Theon Greyjoy rides on the horse with his sister Yara. It’s also the spot where Davos Seaworth is shipwrecked after the battle of Blackwater Bay.
Cushendun Caves (Storms End - Melisandres cave)
The caves at Cushendun were formed over a period of 400 million of years and are a product of extreme weather conditions. They can be found just beyond this beautiful coastal village next to the Cave House.
In Season 2, Cushendun is where Melisandre gives birth to the shadow baby after being brought ashore by Davos Seaworthy.
Fair Head – or Benmore, from the Irish an Bhinn Mhór, meaning 'the big cliff' – is one of the dramatic new GOT locations in Co Antrim and right smack on the Causeway Coast which, along with Belfast, is the Lonely Plant's 'best region to visit' in 2018. Northern Ireland’s tallest cliff face appeared in season 7 peaking interest in the area around the globe. The impressive Fairhead rises 600 feet above sea level near Ballycastle on the Causeway Coast and it’s believed to be the biggest expanse of climbable rock in Britain or Ireland. HBO filmed parts of season seven at Fairhead, forming the backdrop for much of episode three 'The Queen’s Justice' - which saw Jon Snow finally meet Daenerys and her dragons at Dragonstone, and reunite with Tyrion Lannister. Fittingly, given that GOT is a TV adaptation of the fantasy novels A Song Of Fire And Ice by George RR Martin, much of Fair Head's stunning landscape was created by ‘fire’ from volcanic activity, then later sculpted by ‘ice’, from the ice ages, to leave its mark over time.
The Dark Hedges (The Road from King's Landing)
The Dark Hedges might possibly be the most beautiful avenue of beech trees in the world. Planted by the Stuart family in the 18th century to impress their visitors as they approached the entrance to their Georgian mansion -Gracehill House. It is one of the most photographed sites in the country.
In Westeros, the Dark Hedges are the Kingsroad, north of King's Landing. Disguised as a boy, Arya escapes from the city with Yoren, Gendry, Hot Pie and the other prisoners who are to join the Night's Watch.
Cairncastle – (North of Winterfell - The North)
From standing high atop Cairncastle, where Ned Stark beheaded the Night’s Watch deserter in Season 1 Episode 1, we travel to Glenarm, one of the Nine Glens of Antrim. Thought to be the oldest chartered town in Northern Ireland – still retaining its historic street pattern – Glenarm has over 50 listed buildings and is home to Glenarm Castle, the ancestral home of the McDonnells, Earls of Antrim, and the perfect place to stop off for an afternoon tea.
Here you can visit Steensons Workshop, creators of some of the jewelled artefacts used in the series.
Binevenagh – Dothraki Grasslands, North of Meereen, Essos
Binevenagh mountain – an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Area of Special Scientific Interest. With its line of dramatic basalt cliffs dominating the surrounding countryside, the panoramic views from the mountain top take in Roe Valley, the Sperrin Mountains, the North Coast and across Lough Foyle to Donegal. Binevenagh is the shooting location in the Season 5 Episode 10 when Daenerys and a wounded Dragon have landed on a clifftop and Daenarys is then surrounded by a Dothraki horde.
Audleys castle and field.
Lots of drama unfolded in Audley's Field and Castle on the shores of Strangford Lough.
Audley's Field was used during Season 1 as King Robert Baratheon and his entourage arrive at Winterfell. It's the location of Robb's Camp in Season 2 and the place where he first meets Talisa. Later on Audley's Field is where Alton Lannister is imprisoned with Jaime (and doesn't live to tell the tale).
Tollymore Forest Park
Tollymore Forest Park, which was featured in the first episode of Season 1, covers an area almost 630 hectares at the foot of the beautiful Mourne Mountains. This romantic forest is home to trees, woodlands, streams, grottos and caves – and offers panoramic views of the sea at nearby Newcastle. Tollymore Forest was the first state forest park in Northern Ireland, established in 1955. The Forest appeared in the first season of Game of Thrones as the lands around Winterfell when Ned Stark comes across the orphaned direwolves - the symbol of House Stark. You might also remember this as the Haunted Forest. It was the very first scene in which a member of the Night’s Watch rides through the snowy forest and stumbles upon dismembered Wildling bodies and are hunted by Wights.
Sandy Brae in the Mourne Mountains (Vaes Dothrak)
The hauntingly beautiful Mourne Mountains have some of the most beautiful hiking paths in Ireland. Vast landscapes and broad foothills go on as far as the eye can see. Cutting through the desolate Mourne Mountains is the 35km-long Mourne Wall, built to enclose the Silent Valley Reservoir, though it does little more than enclose the remote summits and vast valleys of the Mourne Mountains. On-screen, the mystical Mourne Mountains are the entrance to Vaes Dothrak, the only city in the Dothraki Sea, and capital of the nomadic Dothraki people. Kaleesi, Ser Jorah and the Dothraki visit Vaes Dothrak in the beginning of the series. As with Ballintoy Harbour, the Mourne Mountains are no strangers to fantasy: C.S. Lewis was inspired by their magical landscapes.
Castle Ward (Winterfell)
Castle Ward, County Down, is a beautiful 18th century manor house, home to the Ward family since 1570. Castle Ward’s most intriguing feature is its two-faced nature: the front half of the house and facade is designed in classical Palladian style while the back half of the house (interior and exterior) and facade are designed in Georgian Gothic, and seems right out of a Gothic horror tale! It’s also not too far from Tollymore Forest Park. In Westeros, Castle Ward portrays the outdoor scenes of Winterfell, ancestral home of the Starks. It’s also where the Whispering Wood was filmed, along with Robb Stark’s battle camp, and a few battle scenes.
Inch Abbey (Robb Starks Camp - King in the North)
Located on the north bank of the Quoile River, Inch Abbey was founded by John de Courcy in atonement for his destruction of Erenagah Abbey. The buildings are mainly from the 12th and 13th centuries while it is believed the church is older than that at Grey Abbey which was built about 1193.
This beautiful and historical place is where an alliance of Northerners rallied around Robb Stark and crowned him the King in the North.
Corbet village and castle (Riverrun)
Corbet is a tiny, rural village in County Down, located not far from Tollymore Forest Park. There are ruins of a castle, a trickling stream, and a lake popular with anglers. It is located in a quiet, unspoilt region of Northern Ireland’s farmlands. Corbet was a filming location for season 6, where the local ruins were used to film exterior shots of Riverrun Castle in the Riverlands, where the siege of the castle and other exterior shots were filmed. Further northeast of Corbet is Saintfield village, where the iconic Battle of the Bastards was also filmed in County Down.

Flood warnings still remains in effect for several counties in southern and southwestern Oklahoma, and the bad news is there might be more thunderstorms that might trigger another flooding.
Dozens of houses were flooded, vehicles stranded, impassable streets and more were the scenery of Oklahoma during the flooding. Thousands of people were even displaced during one of the worst flooding in the city's history.
"I've never seen it like this," said resident Jan Tipton. "This is incredible."
"This is the most flooding that I've had since I've lived here," said Cobb, who moved into the house in 1987.
Last month Oklahoma city also experienced the worst hailstorm in about 40 to 60n years.
Lt. Gov. Jari Askins had already declared a state of emergency for the 59 Oklahoma counties affected by the storms.

New York City’s largest public school parent coalition, the Coalition for Educational Justice, held a rally with 75 parents, youth, elected officials and advocates with the intention of publicly releasing a new curriculum analysis with the aim of creating a culturally responsive curriculum in New York City schools.
CEJ works to ensure that all NYC schools are teaching subjects that reflect the histories and backgrounds of NYC students, starting in the earliest grades, in every course. They also require that all schools, pre-K to 12th grade, offer dual language programs. The main aim is to reflect diverse cultures, languages, abilities, religions and identities in the classrooms.
“As a city that prides itself as a beacon of diversity and inclusion, NYC public school students deserve a balanced and realistic portrayal of history that is reflective of our city’s rich multiculturalism,” said City Council Member Antonio Reynoso. “As a young Latino student in the NYC school system, I learned a lot about Christopher Columbus, but never about the rich, pre-Columbian histories of nations like Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Thanks largely to advocacy by the Coalition for Educational Justice, the de Blasio administration has taken a step in the right direction toward culturally responsive education by investing in implicit bias and culturally responsive education training. Now, the de Blasio administration must take the next step by creating and adopting a culturally responsive education curriculum.”
The City of New York is one of the most diverse cities in the world and research reveals that when students see their culture represented and being taught in a way that they see themselves, they are more likely to excel academically. They become more excited about learning and achieve higher levels.
“I want my children to get a culturally responsive curriculum so they can learn about their history and ancestry— not just the food, but also their culture, customs and the heroes from our culture,” said CEJ and Masa parent leader Yenny Cepeda. “When students know where they come from, they feel more motivated to achieve. I want this for all children.”
The CEJ analysis of racial/ethnic diversity in two elementary school’s English Language Arts curricula, the Teachers College Reading and Writing Curriculum and Pearson ReadyGen found that NYC public schools’ authors of stories and books, as well as the characters on the covers, were not diverse. Story authors were 85 percent white, 4 percent Black and 2 percent Latinx and Asian according to the Scholastic Elementary Booklist. For Teachers College Reading and Writing, 94 percent of authors were white, 4 percent were Black, 0 percent were Latinx and only 1 percent were Asian. For Pearson ReadyGen, 83 percent of the authors were white.
“I never saw Black people in my curriculum as a child, and had to find out on my own about all the incredible things Black people have done when I got into my 20s,” said Derrick Owens, CEJ and New York Communities for Change parent leader. “I don’t want the same thing to happen to my daughter, but that’s what I still see in her curriculum today.”
The CEJ said that story cover characters were also mainly white, followed by Black, Latinx and Asian representation in all three of the analysis. In depicting indigenous Americans, only one book did so in the 123 Pearson ReadyGen curriculum.

Ripple is one of the most centralized cryptocurrencies. After all, all XRP emissions are concentrated in the hands of the management. In such conditions, decentralization cannot exist. GR&PR Director of MISSION, Alexei Pospekhov, told about this to Cryptobit.Media.
"Ripple is not interesting in terms of decentralization"
According to Alexei Pospekhov, XRP management fully controls the issue of cryptocurrency. It is incompatible with the principles of decentralization.
"Yes, it’s like that. All issue in the same hands. Overall, XRP is a rather controversial cryptocurrency in terms of decentralization. Yes, it shows that it works and what the solution may be. But it is of no interest in terms of global decentralized development," explains Alexei Pospekhov.
Generally, according to the expert, Ripple simply copies traditional payment decisions.
"We already have SWIFT. And the fact that Ripple is trying to become something like that doesn’t make the project more decentralized and independent," says Alexei Pospekhov.
- On August 14, trader Peter Brandt accused Ripple’s management of manipulating XRP. Allegedly, the management is massively selling the coin to keep the rate stable. Brandt believes that the price of XRP may soon shed 20% because of this.
- Ripple also has other problems. Several investors in the US are suing the project. They believe that XRP is a security. However, the project did not follow the law that governs the issue and circulation of bonds. If the investors win, the existence of an $11 billion market cap XRP will face serious threats.

How to Make Mustard From Mustard Greens
This homemade condiment recipe puts a frost-beating crop to tasty use.
Champing at the bit to start planting in the garden? Cold-resistant and easy growers, mustard greens can be planted up to a month before the last frost date and the first wave will be ready to harvest just about the time other plants are ready to be sown.
A hardy leaf vegetable, mustard greens handle the cold. They prefer sunlight, but are shade-tolerant and can be sown directly in the garden or grown in pots. Young leaves can be harvested for use in salads or sandwiches and as they mature, the peppery greens can be prepared as one might use kale or spinach, but with an added bite. As the plant reaches full maturity, the leaves will become too bitter to eat. This is when the fun really begins.
As the weather warms and greens reach their full height of about 18”, the plant will begin to send up tall stalks and bright yellow flowers blossom. Watch these flowers mature then wither. When the last flower has faded, the mustard seeds are ready to be harvested.
Loaded with small yellow or brown seeds, if left alone the seeds will spread quickly and new plants will sprout with such ferocity they can soon become more nuisance than crop. The long, thin pods growing from the stalks should be harvested before they split open to control excessive propagation. Crop control isn’t the only reason you’ll want to remove those seed pods.
Cut the stalk from the plant below the seed pods and gather them in a paper bag. Set the bag aside for a couple of weeks in a warm place. Once the stalks have dried and the pods begin to split open, the copious seeds can be extracted and are ready for use.
Making your own mustard from this “second crop” is surprisingly easy and once you’ve got the knack, tailoring the recipe to your taste with the addition of spices, soaking the seeds in different mediums or grinding the result anywhere from coarse whole grain to silky smooth may make your favorite condiment one that can’t be found in your local market.
Try this basic whole-grain mustard with just a hint of sweet. Once you’ve dipped a toe into the world of DIY mustard, experiment with using beer or wine as a base. Or toy with the addition of your favorite herbs and spices.
Whole Grain Mustard
- 1/2 cup distilled white vinegar
- 1/4 cup hard cider
- 1/2 cup yellow mustard seed
- 1/4 cup brown mustard seed
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Combine vinegar, cider, brown mustard seeds and yellow mustard seeds in a glass jar.
- Secure jar lid and soak overnight. Seed will become plump and soft.
- Add honey and salt and transfer into a food processor.
- Process until seeds break down and mustard reaches desired consistency.
- Return to jar, cover and keep at room temperature a couple of days before use.
- Store in refrigerator.

Why to visit Vietnam
Vietnam, the S-shaped country, also commonly likened to the shape of a dragon, is located to the west of the South China Sea. The perfect combination of colonial elegance and rustic charm, it guarantees to satisfy all types of travelers with its rich experiences made all the more special by its charming people.
With cities to explore, temples to admire, and green countrysides to roam, there is plenty to see and do in Vietnam. Known as a colorful and diverse country from the wild mountainous north, with its myriad of ethnic communities, to the sleepless city of Ho Chi Minh City (previously known as Saigon) on the edge of the Mekong Delta, it is difficult to pick just one region to visit when coming to Vietnam.
The charming capital of Hanoi is a fascinating mix of fading colonial buildings and national monuments; the scenery of Halong Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is bound to leave you speechless; Hue, home to the old Kings of Vietnam, appears to have been frozen in time for several hundred years with its ancient atmosphere and architecture.
With a 3260km coastline, Vietnam is home to many top-tier beaches; the country’s most unsung beauties. My Khe beach – “one of the most attractive beaches on the planet” as described by Forbes – offers blue skies, smooth white sand, clear & warm water year-round. Phu Quoc island, boasting several luxury resorts, is also a favorite escape for the rich and famous. The abundance of mountains, rainforests, and natural lakes also makes Vietnam a great destination for trekking, hiking, mountain biking, sea and river kayaking, and classic overland tours.
Where to Go
Most popular sites of Vietnam
• Sapa & Mai Chau – visit the hill tribe villages and plantations
• Hanoi – the capital of Vietnam
• Halong Bay – a UNESCO World Heritage site
• Hue – the ancient capital of Vietnam
• Hoi An – the kitchen of Vietnam and paradise on Earth
• Ho Chi Minh City (previously Saigon) – the economic heart of Vietnam
• The Cu Chi Tunnels – walk through the history of the Vietnam War
• Mekong Delta – see the floating markets
When to Go
Even though Vietnam lies entirely in the tropic zone, its climate varies surprisingly from region to region. Therefore this charming land is well-known as an “all-year-around” available destination for travelers.
In the north, from Sapa to Hanoi, there are 4 seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter.
In the central region, from Nha Trang to Hue, sunshine lasts throughout the year, except for the months of November and December when heavy rainfalls occur. Dalat, at an altitude of 1500m, is cooler than the coastal area, particularly from November to March. Da Nang and Hue both experience typhoon activity from mid-October to mid-December when the climate becomes cooler, more overcast and wet.
In the south, from Ho Chi Minh City to Phan Thiet, there are two main seasons: wet and dry. The wet season falls between April and September, with sudden heavy showers that don’t last very long. The dry season spans the months of October to March, with higher temperatures and long days of sunshine, followed by cooler nights.
Obtain a Vietnam Visa
Almost all visitors to Vietnam need a visa to enter the country, although some exemptions apply for citizens of countries with reciprocal agreements with Vietnam. Depending upon the nationality and passport of the applicant, a tourist visa can be obtained at the Vietnamese diplomatic office or consulates in foreign countries. Visas can also be obtained with the help of a licensed Vietnamese Travel Company, known as a “Visa on Arrival”. Visas may be either single-entry or multiple-entry, as requested at the time of application.
Visa on Arrival (VOA)
The easiest way is to get your visa through a licensed Vietnamese Travel Company, such as Indochina Pioneer. We can quickly and efficiently organize your pre-arranged VOA if you wish. Our visa processing fee is a reasonable rate of USD$10 / person only. Except for American citizens who are required to pay a stamping fee of USD$135 to get a 1-year, multiple-entry tourist visa, other nationalities need to pay just USD$25 / person for a single entry and USD$50 / person for multiple entries.
- To apply for your VOA please email us the following information:
- Arrival and departure dates
- Full passport details:
- Passport number
- Issuing date
- Expiry date
Note: your passport must be valid for 6 months beyond your travel date, and there must be several blank pages left on your passport.
- Once we have received your information, we will secure a Visa Approval Letter for you. This usually takes about 2 – 4 working days (ie. excluding weekends). We will then send you the letter via email or fax. You must present this letter upon boarding your flight. Also, you will need to prepare two photos (6 cm high x 4 cm wide – white background, no glasses, no smiling).
- On arrival at the airport (in Hanoi, Da Nang or Ho Chi Minh City) please find the Visa on Arrival window/counter where you will hand over your passport and photos, and be given a simple form to fill out. Pay the stamping fee of USD$25 for the single entry and USD$50 for multiple entries. The staff at the airport will shortly return your passport with your visa, after which you will be allowed to exit the airport.
The citizens of the following countries do not need a visa to enter Vietnam for a certain amount of time:
- Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Laos, Indonesia (maximum stay of up to 30 days)
- Philippines (maximum stay of up to 21 days)
- Japan, South Korea (maximum stay of up to 15 days)
- Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Norway, Germany, France, Spain, Italy and United Kingdom (maximum stay of up to 15 days)
Unfortunately, citizens of the following countries are ineligible for a VOA and will have to apply at their nearest Vietnamese embassy/consulate :
South Asia – Afghanistan, Pakistan, Sri Lanka
Africa – Algeria, Morocco, Nigeria, South Africa
Starting from February 1st, 2017, the Vietnamese government officially launched the electronic visa plan for foreign tourists of certain countries visiting Vietnam. To apply for an e-visa, please visit http://www.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn or http://www.immigration.gov.vn. For the list of

Their warmth, friendliness and good humour has made our trip most memorable. The guides all did an excellent job with their knowledge on places visited as well as the history of Vietnam. Our visit to Halong Bay was unfortunately very cold, but was still made enjoyable, and guests still participated in canoeing and visiting the floating fishing village. Although there were many highlights with the sounds, smells and overall busy day to day life especially in the markets, my favourite highlight was in Ho Chi Minh City with a park becoming one enormous flower market and the boats on the river covered in flowers ready to sell, all for the Tet festival. We wished we stayed a few extra nights to enjoy the Tet festivities. Yes I would definitely recommend Indochina Pioneer to anyone wishing to travel to Vietnam, and will use this company again.
"2nd Time….just as great"
This is the second time I have used Indochina Pioneer. They excelled again. This time, we had 5 Rotarians who had completed a project in Cambodia, and needed some holiday time afterwards. We booked an 8 night Hanoi/Sapa/Halong Bay tour.
Again, the Indochina Pioneer Team performed beyond my expectations. On time, knowledgeable and flexible at all times.
We had a small problem with our van after the 5 hour drive to Sapa. By breakfast the next day, we had a new van and driver to look after us for the rest of our journey.
We got a great upgrade on the Halong Bay cruise.
I can’t commend Indochina Pioneer highly enough. If you want further details, please PM me directly, if I go again in Indochina, it will only be with Indochina Pioneer.
"An amazing trip"
In my younger years I spent months backpacking on the cheap around Asia. I now have more money, less time and a family. I found Indochina Pioneer on-line and contacted Mr Lam for our recent trip to Cambodia. He was full of information, answered all of my many questions, suggested great ideas, incorporated my changes and organised all smoothly.
I wanted airport transfers and to organise hotels before we left. Mr Lam suggested a range of hotels to choose from all of which were good. Internal transfers and flights were also organised. We only wanted tours for Angkor Wat and The Killing Fields which Mr Lam arranged. Our other days were left free for us to choose what we wanted. The tour consisted of myself, my husband and twin sons which was perfect. The tour guides were knowledgeable and helpful, as were the drivers.
Mr Lam suggested we get a speed boat from Chau Doc, Vietnam to Phnom Penh up the Mekong River which was a great way to travel. The crocodile farm on the way was well worth the lunch stop.
I would recommend Indochina Pioneer as a great tour company for families. My in-laws are travelling with them later in the year. I am currently planning another trip to Laos using Indochina Pioneer again.
For someone who doesn’t like or do package tours having a private tour for my family was just perfect.

"Fantastic 17 days in Vietnam and Cambodia"
The best thing about Duong Dai Lam (Lam) from Indochina Pioneer is that he listens. We are interested in history, architecture and food, and really appreciate good views.
Our trip provided these things and more:
– In every city we had gorgeous hotels with fabulous views, with a number of upgrades. Hotels appreciated Indochina Pioneer business.
– Halong Bay cruise was one of the highlights – small, comfortable boat with great food and most incredible landscapes. How did they get such a good chef for a 10 cabin boat?
– Lam suggested many off the beaten track attractions that helped us to understand and appreciate the country.
– Our tour guides in every place were knowledgeable about history and architecture, forthcoming with cultural and lifestyle information
– They were very flexible both in planning, and trip changes when the weather did not cooperate. For example – we don’t ride bicycles, so we ended up doing one day tour on the back of 2 scooters. Fun!!!
– Street food tour with Luu in Hanoi was fun, delicious and educational. We kept eating on the street throughout the trip. No food poisoning, just delicious food.
– Private cars were medium size SUVs immaculately maintained and drivers were safe.
I infrequently gush – see my other reviews. But this was one of our best trips, and the private tour ended up costing less than a comparable group tour booked from US.

"Excellent 20 day tour of Myanmar with Indochina Pioneer"
This was our first trip to Myanmar . We have traveled to Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos with Lam Duong from Indochina Pioneer in the past and having had such a great trip chose Lam to organise our Myanmar trip.
Lam chose and booked great hotels in Yangon, Kyaing Tong, Kalaw, Inle Lake , Bagan and Mandalay as well as organise excellent tour guides and drivers at those places. We wanted to do a short cruise on the Irrawaddy from Bagan to Mandalay and Lam selected Amara River Cruises which operate small extremely well founded wooden vessels. Our boat Amara 1 was excellent, comfortable and with friendly attentive staff who took us on excursions and provided us with superb food and service.
We also did a memorable balloon flight in Bagan with Balloons over Bagan which Lam organised.
Our tour organised by Lam in Myanmar was superb, we could not fault the guides and the overall balance of the itinerary.
Full marks Indochina Pioneer!

"Cycling Mekong Delta and sight seeing in Saigon"
Perhaps the best way to explore the Mekong Delta area. Can Tho is a lively overnight stop with well situated lovely hotel. All hotels selected by Indo China Pioneer are well situated but don’t expect western standards in hotels beyond Can Tho. Good combination of cycling and site seeing including boat and ferry trips, workshop visits with good choice of restaurant and roadside stops for fresh fruit.
However the route rarely left normal roads and didn’t appear to be as described in the brochure. Some quiet rural roads followed but others were quite busy, particularly in the vicinity of the small towns we cycled through.
We were concerned that we were not measured for our bikes on the first day which just arrived in the back of the minibus that collected us from our hotel. The frame size for my partner’s bike was much too large for her and it was fitted with a male shaped saddle which caused her considerable discomfort on the first day. The saddle was changed on Day 2 after she refused to continue the holiday with that particular bike at the end of day 1.
The guide did not appear to be completely clear of the route at times and we needed to complete an ‘about turn’ 3 times during the trek which may be why our route didn’t appear to be as described in the brochure. Indo China guides are very knowledgeable and helpful and know many local secret gems to visit but their spoken english can be difficult to follow at times even for me as a native English speaker. Indo China Pioneer specialise in providing tailor made tours for small groups down to 2 in number and flexibility in preparing a holiday programe to suit individual customers requests including the selection of the most suitable hotel using their wealth of local knowledge. Moderately priced boutique hotels are typically chosen.
"Indochina Pioneer – Great Tour Organizer"
I arranged a 28 day customized tour of Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar and Thailand in January, 2016 the assistance of Indochina Pioneer. Lam, the principal of the company, was fabulous to deal with. He made many suggestions, booked all of our drivers and local tour guides, hotels, admission tickets, and even some restaurants. All of his choices were excellent, and when there was a need to make a last minute change, he was readily available. His tour included many extras that other tour organizers did not include, and he made sure that we visited off the beaten track places, took local tours that the big groups do not see, and that our hotels were carefully chosen to be very central and more of a local boutique nature. Lam never hesitated to make sure that our trip was going well as we travelled, and even made a point of meeting us at our stop in Hanoi and sent flowers to me on my birthday. The tour was priced very favorably compared to 3 others I contacted, and all of our guides were excellent. I would highly recommend this company and Lam in particular to anyone wanting to arrange a local tour or a detailed itinerary of Indochina.
"12 days in Myanmar"
Kata Tran has organised many holidays for me – in Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. All excellent. She organised a 12 day trip to Myanmar in January 2016 with a few days each in Yangon, Bagan, Mandalay and Inle. Great guides and drivers. Lovely hotels. Terrific boat trip from Mandalay to Bagan. Day trip to old colonial Maymyo. Highly recommended. Kata always listens carefully to what you want and is very flexible.
It was great to have a relaxing vacation and indochina took
Care of everything. Loved Hanoi and Halong Bay!

What Is The D20 System?
The D20 system was originally created in 2000 for the purpose of Dungeons and Dragons’ 3rd edition. It was called the D20 system because most of the system’s mechanics are centered around the the twenty sided die, which is commonly referred to as the D20.
Wizards of the Coast released most of the D20 system under the SRD, or System Reference Document, allowing anyone to use, or tweak or add to any of the rules in the SRD for commercial products without having to pay Wizards of the Coast. This was a great benefit to publishers of supplemental materials such as third-party source books and adventure modules.
Examples of D20-Based Games
Obviously, Dungeons and Dragons is the first name that comes to mind when talking about the D20 system, and even role-playing games in general. Dungeons and Dragons 3rd edition was the first edition to utilize the D20 system.
Pathfinder by Piazo Publishing is another very popular D20 based role-playing game. Pathfinder took up the sword where Dungeons and Dragons 3rd edition left off. Dungeons and Dragons 4th edition is really a much different game than 3rd, so Pathfinder stepped in and made only some minor changes to the mechanics. These days, Pathfinder is as popular, if not more than Dungeons and Dragons, especially among those who preferred 3rd edition to 4th.
Almost all well-known role-playing games have at least one or two editions that were based on the D20 system, including:
For more information on the D20 system, read this article from Wikipedia.
Why Publish D20 Content?
The amount of content released in the System Reference Document is rather extensive. So much so, that the list of things that are not useable is much shorter. See some of the content that’s not included here.
Dungeons and Dragons is arguably the best known role-playing game to date, and much of its content (from all editions) is easily recognized by almost anyone in the role-playing community. Publishing D20 based content gives you the ability to use creatures and spells and abilities that people recognize, and can understand. Otherwise, you’ll have to create all your own creatures from scratch, and spend time developing and introducing them.
The release of the System Reference Document built a platform so large and so extensive that it’s really become the gold standard of role-playing systems. It gives publishers the opportunity to focus on the game setting content, rather than the mechanics.
However, this license is no longer available for use as of 2008. If you were hoping to publish under the D20 license, you are out of luck. However, Pathfinder us a very similar system, and you can publish your content under that licenses the way you could have published D20 content prior to 2008. For more information on the Pathfinder license read here.

Another parliamentary question related to the November 1 blood ban was tabled by David Anderson (Labour MP for Blaydon).
He asked the Health Secretary if he will review the level of multidisciplinary team provision for ME/CFS to take account of the decision not to receive blood from people with the illness.
In a written answer provided on 26 October, Minister of State for Care Services Paul Burstow replied:
The ban on blood donations from those living with chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgicencephalomyelitis (CFS/ME), to be introduced from 1 November 2010, is a precautionary measure. At the moment there is no clear evidence for the cause of CFS/ME, and health professionals should continue to use their clinical judgment to provide health and social care based on existing guidelines.

Do you have the "perfect" resume template?
Does it even exist?
No, it doesn't.
Because regardless of what template you use, you are not going to get a callback for an interview if the content of your resume is bad.
BUT the way your resume looks is still really, really important.
Why is resume layout and design so important?
Because within the first 3 seconds, the recruiter decides if your resume is worth reading.
What can you see within 3 seconds of glancing at a document? These 5 things:
If the content is evenly placed
If it is professionally-looking
If there are any outliers in the fonts or margins
What the sections of the resume are
If the colours you used are appropriate
And plenty of other subconscious things that vary from person to person.
It's the combination of all of those things that make or break that first 3-second impression. This ultimately decides if your resume will be read or discarded.
A short moment for a recruiter with 200 applicants, an important job application for you.
Are you going to leave it chance or are you going to maximise your opportunity?
How to maximise your resume layout for the most impact
With your resume layout, you need to maximise every element of the resume, and I'm not talking about content here. I am talking about these three things:
The whole format of the resume comes down to these 3 things being done right.
Let's look at them closely.
White space on a resume page is supercritical for readability of your resume. White space is what frames the rest of the content, it:
divides the sections of the resume into chunks to process,
helps the reader find keywords they are looking for,
makes it easy to read.
White space is what makes the resume scannable.
Because remember, resumes don't get read until after they pass the 3-second scan test.
Look at these two different examples of a resume and tell me, would you bother reading the first one?
Even if you tried, you'd probably find it very difficult. In reality, it would be discarded after the scan.
When it comes to font, there are two things: the font you choose and the size of the font on the page.
Always, you need to go for simple professionalism. The resume font needs to be easy to read in every font size not be smaller than 10pt as a general rule.
However, remember that all fonts look different in different sizes.
When it comes to using fonts, these are the basic rules:
One font for headings and another font for the rest of the text.
Don't know how to match two fonts? Pick one font for everything.
Use bold and italics sparingly and consistently.
Always be consistent.
There is a big difference in someone trying too hard in making their resume stand out and a resume looking professional and sleek with just one font.
If it's hard to read, no one will read it.
Using colour in the right way is a great way to stand out from the pile of applicants and make your resume one of a kind (or at least a little different).
But it is also the easiest way to fuck up your resume completely. When in doubt, stick to these rules:
