2 : Moonlight shadow

And now it seems, that we are flying high above the ground. With a moonlight shadowed space lift. It looks like, that there is man hanging from the strange looking flying vehicle.

The pouring rain has cleared the yard from the people. There is no-one around to see Max.

"Damn" says Max. He is still trying to detach the belt from the wire. Max looks down.
"Oops, hopefully the belt lasts." Max says and tries to get a grip from the wire.
"Space City, here we come." Max says and detaches the belt from the wire.

Max climbs a little and loses the grip from the wire. Max starts to fall freely.
After few attempts he manages to get a new grip from the wire.
Max looks down to the end of wire and says "Not even close."

A news team passes by. Driver notices the acrobatic moves of our hero.
"Look" he says to the editor. "Wow !" editor says. "Stop the van." he says to the driver.
Driver stops the van. He comes out with camera. Driver-camera man start to shoot Max's astonishing performances.

The manned space lift vanishes to the clouds. The news team goes back to car.
"There was no-one around" driver says to editor. "Should we contact someone ?"
"Nah." editor says. "Lets go." he continues.
The van starts and goes away.

Moonlight Shadow is beautiful number one single from 80's. It was synth song already in the 80's. Boys' tried to add something new to it, with space-like sound.

- - Space lifts, 2017 - -

When talking about commercial space exploration, the transportation costs from Earth to orbit are big. The distance is only few hundred kilmeters or miles, but planes and rockets needs lots of fuel for the trip.

Space lifts are Zeppelin like space ships. Planned to be cargo-space ships, which transports stuff in between Earth and space. They deliver stuff to space stations / storages and space hotel construction. They are much like vertical air ships. The shape, glittering coating and the pressure balancers are the biggest differences between to the traditional air ships. Before you can go to space, you got to have a cheap transportation between Earth and space. Earth's gravitational force goes to marginal levels after your raise to around 200 km or 100 mil altitude. Space lifts can raise bigger ( 30 - 50 tons ) payloads with marginal costs from Earth to Space.

- - Space cargo ships / trains, 2017 - -

Space cargo ships are not intended to enter Earth's gravitational field. Space cargo ships can be much more bigger than Space lifts. They are much like trains. They must have one unit - locomotive - for accelerating and braking in space. In rotational field conventional weigh and friction are 0. Stable status of an object is rotation or straight move. In principle Space locomotive can drag almost endless amounts of cars.

The problem with Space train is the same than with common train. Stops and accelerations are difficult / take lots of time. In space all objects have a rotational weigh. Weigh comes true when you change direction or speed of an object. This rotational weigh has on-to-one connection to gravitational weigh. Required acceleration, breaking and steering force grows with size and mass.

- - How to play ? - -

In the internet you click the play button with your mouse. In real-life Russian Roulette you take a revolver. Not a pistol, a revolver is needed for this gambling game. In the beginning of the round, the croupier takes one bullet and put it into the drum of the revolver. After that the croupier closes the drum, and scrolls it around with the hand. Then the revolver is given to the player. The player places the barrel so that it points to the temple. Then the player pulls the trigger. If the player hits the empty slot player wins and gets all the bets. Usually the player holds the gun towards the temple quite a long time. And takes a deep breath, before he / she pulls the trigger.

As a gambling game Russian Roulette is very rare. It is legal in countries where suicides are not crimes, or signs of mental illness. Most people, who plays the game are forced to play. Either prisoners or some other way subdued people. Forced players are often forced to play the game with more than one bullet.

At the end of the Rihanna's Russian Roulette video, the player loses, her bets and life too.

- - Song Introduction - -

Russian Roulette is a hit single Rihannas' Rated R album. Russian Roulette is released on the original album from the year 2009, and also on the remixed Rated-R from the year 2010.

Rihanna's Russian Roulette is a classic. By it's genre. Resemblances between the original score and classical music are big. The voice track / melody is also very difficult to sing. From the Boys' version you can hear from one point, how Boys' brightness instrument runs out of it's playback capabilities. In the middle of the Russian Roulette Boys' Brightness cracks with few notes. Pitch variance is too big for brightness, the instrument acts like common human voice, and changes it's tone significantly with these notes.

4 : National Anthem of Barbados

Maxwell is just about to take the revolver into his hand. He sweats.

Suddenly the action around the table ends into loud fanfares. Each and every speaker in Casino plays the fanfares.
People from the gambling table start to move away. The croupier waves to Max, and sort of asks Maxwell to join them.
Sweating Max is very happy to get an opportunity to leave the game. He puts the gun back to the table, and follows the others.
The people from the table go into big City Hall. Maxwell sits down with his new friends. After City Hall is full, a speaker comes to podium.

Maxwell notices, that the speaker has a golden item in his hand. The speaker takes the microphone and starts to speak :

- Ladies and gentleman. Please all stand up.
- The National Anthem of Barbados.

"Barbados, I love you." says Max quietly to himself. "You saved me" he continued.
The ugly man had followed Max to the hall. He looks at Max's trousers and completes Max's sentence.
"But not from major leaks, not from major leaks" he laughs loudly.

- - Barbados - -

Rihanna's Barbados is a small island in South-East Caribbean. The east most island of the Caribbean lives from tourism. Barbados is near to Venezuela.

Barbados is a holiday paradise not a tax paradise country. Barbadians are specialized in dream-holidays. So, there aren't very many annoying or irritating things in the Barbadian holidays and holiday packs.

A good choice for holiday maker. For rest-holidays and "dream" holidays, from which Caribbean Islands are famous for.

For holiday makers there are resorts, attractions and events. There are beaches, restaurants and night clubs, open all year long. Then there is sight seeing submarine, you can see exotic tropic fishes and plants during the tour. On the east side of the island there is motor-track for K-carts. Sometimes reserved for carting events. Since Barbados is specialized in Rum and Tourists, the number of attractions and even the number of types of attractions is enormous. You can check the lists from the Barbados.Org web-site.

During the major holiday seasons there is always something nice for the holiday makers. Carnivals, light shows, and so on.

In 2011 the prices of the services and local stuff are over 30% lower than in Western Countries. When you make a reservation to 4 star hotel, price is far more lower than in Western 4 star hotels. Although the service levels and equipments are equal. In Western countries you must drop at least one star away from your hotel and room reservation.

Before independency the island was governed by Great Britain / United Kingdom. The official language is English. The currency is Barbadian dollar, the exchange rate is around 1:2. With 100 dollars / euros you get 200 hundred Barbadian dollars.

Barbados has full length ( 2 mil ) international airport, all planes can land on the strip. Airport is not far away from the hotels. Besides the beginnings and the ends of the major holiday seasons, traffic-levels are low. Most of the passengers are holiday makers.

The "highway of hurricanes" goes north from Barbados. Both hurricanes and earthquakes are rare : No need to be afraid that your dream holiday turns into a nightmare.

Come to think of it. Remember quite a many holiday makers, who were actually happier before the holiday, than they were during and after the holiday. Not very likely to happen in Barbados.

All you have to do, is to ask

If you are not a regular holiday maker, the staff of your hotel almost always knows about all available local attractions / events. They are always happy to help and advice you. All you have to do is to ask.

All you have to do, is to ask II

If you end up into a fine restaurant in a strange country, and you do not want to look like a native born jerk, there is one question which always helps you. When you ask from the waitress "What do you recommend ?" ( for food / drink ) you are always guaranteed to get a recommendations, which do not make you look like an uncivilized jerk.

In Europe, regular customers in fine restaurants and hotels pays quite a lot of attention to your habits, and to the things you eat and drink. You have to be famous from your vulgar or strange habits, before violations in etiquette are accepted. Even if you are rich millionaire or billionaire, your class and levels are measured by your habits.

There are very many from rags to riches millionaires, from United States, who can tell you many stories about the issue. From their own experiences.
