I'm having the same issue, my brother had his for over a year and I just got mine on Christmas eve and I cannot download it, I've tried everything from what people suggested and the support was no help. They said something like brand new accounts have a glitch and I should be be able to download it in about 48 hours. Still no luck.
Hi, I don't think their tech team has a clue! My grandson & granddaughter each got a headset for Christmas and I bought one in January. G'dtr and I both downloaded Horizon Worlds with no problem, but g'son can't!! His account is in good standing and still he is not able to download - it says "coming soon" on his wishlist. Ongoing problem for a while, from what I can tell.

It then took me several months to find a suitable jet ski with a hull that had the lines and shape that would allow for a conversion to the classic wood boat look my mind had envisioned. I ended up purchasing a 2002 Sea Doo GTX 4-Tec for $1,200. It was a nice looking, low hour ski with some hull damage and a jet pump that had seized. That was not a problem since I was going to give it a new wood surface and the pump got a new impeller, housing and bearing. The ski was new enough that it had a 3-cylinder 4 stroke engine that is much quieter than the older 2 stroke models.
The build began by removing all of the hardware and moldings. The rear portion of the two-part saddle seat was discarded. The gelcoat finish was ground off most of the ski and the bottom portion of the hull was sprayed with a classic red boat paint sold by System 3. Various humps and bumps that existed as Sea Doo styling were removed, which resulted in creating holes and voids that were filled with wood, foam, and fiberglass. The surfaces had to have more gentle curves in order to allow the bending of the mahogany boards which covered most areas.
I spotted your ski today while at boat show. I was so impressed! We rode to show on our jet skis. I absolutely loved this ski. Was shocked to google it to find it really is only wood ski and just recently finished! Very impressed! Beautiful! Lisa in CDA
The zoo is asking the public to help name her. Giraffe experts believe she is the only solid-colored reticulated giraffe living anywhere on the planet. The baby is now available for viewing at the zoo.
Lee paints a nuanced and tactile portrait of addiction, and an unflinching look at the life that is built in recovery. Having suffered unspeakable grief, these poems are patient meditations on loss and the land where the people we love have not only lived, but are also buried.
You also learn about their eating habits and the fact they only use the bathroom once a week but always climb to the ground to do so. Also, he goes to great length to convince you that sloths are not, in fact, lazy creatures.
Unfortunately, during this part of the tour, I nearly passed out. It was hot and, just coming from Orosi where it was not nearly as hot and water was free, I thought I could get away without buying watering. I realized how wrong I was when my vision started blurring and I felt nauseous. Oops.
However, once I drank an entire bottle of water, I was able to rejoin the group as they entered the baby sloth room. This was, obviously, my favorite part. Look at how cute these guys are:
When I signed up for the trip to Panama, I knew that it was going to be challenging. That was the reason I had chosen not to attend the previous year, why I hesitated a million times before officially deciding to go.
I have been to Costa Rica on 2 occasions, and did see a sloth in the wild on both occasions. But they are generally quite allusive and stay high up in the trees to sleep. I would enjoy a visit to the Sloth Sanctuary and will try and get there on my next visit.
Sloths are such cuties. I saw a couple in the wild when I was in Costa Rica, but they are generally pretty well- hidden and difficult to photograph. The sanctuary sounds like a great way to learn more about them and see a few up close and (take-my-iPhone!) personal. ?
Fiordland National Park on the South Island of New Zealand abounds with picturesque landscapes. While there, several stops to appreciate the scenery also rewarded us with a couple of special bird sightings. One pullover afforded us the encounter we had hoped for. Several Kea, also known as New Zealand Mountain Parrots, flew in to greet us.
As a staging area for our explorations in Fiordland National Park, Bob and I set up shop at Explorer Hotel in Te Anau. Te Anau is situated on the shores of Lake Te Anau, the largest lake on the South Island and, within New Zealand, it is second in size after Lake Taupo.
As we set off on the first morning of our stay there, we planned to drive through Fiordland National Park to Milford Sound, a fjord with spectacular natural features. Sunny skies prevailed with a brisk and chilly onshore breeze reminding us just how far south we were. Brrr!
Bordering the main road towards the Park limits were vast expanses of farmland where either deer, sheep or cattle are raised. The play of morning sunshine on the rolling landscape made for some interesting photographs,
As we entered the glacier-carved wilderness of Fiordland National Park, it was no surprise that clouds were hanging off the mountain tops and even dipping into the valleys below. Reaching to 6,000 feet in some cases, the peaks literally scraped the sky.
Following a recommendation, Bob and I planned to check a few spots en route to see if we might come across some of the endemic alpine parrots. One likely pullover, at Kaka Creek, offered a lovely view of a mountain valley and several peaks.
At first, it seemed that only the terrain was to be appreciated, but then a Kaka appeared out of nowhere and landed in a tree above us. The South Island Kaka is one of two surviving subspecies of this large parrot, with two species already having become extinct.
Kakas are high fliers that feed on sweets in the canopy of the forest. Nectar, fruit, seeds, sap, and honeydew all satisfy the sweet tooth of this parrot. Kakas are endangered and have disappeared from much of their former range due in large part to deforestation.
Continuing further into Fiordland National Park, Bob and I were in our element there in the shadow of sky-high peaks. Lush foliage cushioned the edges of vertiginous drop-offs, and endless numbers of waterfalls cascaded down the countless steep slopes.
Kea Parrots love to get into buildings and even chimneys, so it made sense that one of the Kea poked its head into our car to see if there were any treasures inside. Thank goodness the window was only open part way.
More tourists pulling off at the viewpoint startled one Kea into flight. That was a bonus because we could see the brilliant orange feathers on the undersides of the wings. Kea look quite magnificent in the air.
Kea are very intelligent birds known to use objects as tools when foraging for food. They have even been seen to fashion tools and work together for the common good when trying to overcome an obstacle. Still, they were fooled when Bob pretended to have food in his hand.
So yeah, people were paranoid about terrorists. Then French officials found out that uranium was missing from a mine of theirs in Africa. They naturally assumed that some terrorist group had upped the ante and stolen it. Enough was missing to make six atomic bombs.
Now, uranium-238 is far more common. It makes up over 99 percent of all uranium. Uranium-235 makes up just 0.720 (point-seven-two-zero) percent of uranium. And that percent is the same everywhere in the world.
But once they looked closer, French authorities noticed something odd. Wherever they found lower percentages of uranium-235, the surrounding rock also looked scorched. Burned and black, like someone took a flamethrower to it. What could have produced so much heat?
More importantly, the sites with the missing uranium had not been disturbed for over a billion years. Which ruled out the idea that terrorists had dug up uranium. But then where had it gone? And what could have scorched the rocks?
The reactor arose due to a set of special circumstances 1.7 billion years ago. At the time, Oklo was a mudflat. The soil was soft clay with some dilute uranium minerals mixed in. Then, for some reason, the site started flooding on a regular basis. Each time, some of the uranium would dissolve in the water and trickle down into underground pools.
But uranium-235 is unstable. It decays naturally. In particular, it decays far faster than uranium-238. So over the eons, the relative percentage of uranium-235 kept sinking. It dropped from 17 percent to 16 percent, then 15 and 14, and so on.
Well, because whenever the underground uranium got hot enough, the water around it boiled away. With no water, the neutrons started flying too fast for the atoms to absorb. So the chain reaction grinded to a halt, and new heat- and energy-production stopped.
Because algae are aquatic, they released oxygen into the water around them. There, oxygen glommed onto dissolved iron atoms to form a rusty precipitate. But 2.3 billion years ago, something shifted. There were suddenly so many algae pumping out so much oxygen that the iron in the ocean ran low. At this point, free oxygen began accumulating in the water.
This buildup of oxygen in the water was crucial. A few minutes ago, I mentioned that uranium from the clay mudflats at Oklo was dissolving in water. But that was a bit of a fudge. Uranium does not dissolve in pure, distilled water.
