As the unexpectedly upheaval-heavy current generation of console gaming continues on, each of the three major manufacturers is adapting in their own way. Nintendo is hard at work on the mysterious NX Platform, while Sony is planning an earlier-than-anticipated upgrade to the Playstation 4 line. At E3, Microsoft revealed not only a smaller, less-expensive version of the Xbox One, Xbox One S, along with plans for a substantially more powerful version of the hardware currently codenamed "Project Scorpio".
However, one element of the Xbox One's original design is being drastically de-emphasized: The Kinect. It has now been confirmed by Matt Lapsen, general manager of marketing for Xbox devices, that the Xbox One S model will not feature a dedicated port for the once-essential peripheral.
The original unveiling of the Xbox One was marked with controversy due to Microsoft's initial announcement of a digital rights management scheme - a proposed feature of the then-new console relating to game ownership and privacy rights; said backlash led to the release of a more consumer-friendly product instead. There were also concerns initially surrounding the mandatory integration of the camera-enabled motion-control peripheral Kinect; an element that had originally debuted to its own mixed reception on the Xbox 360 (being an attempt to replicate the success of Nintendo's then-top-selling Wii console).
While the final Xbox One release did not require Kinect to function, there was still a dedicated port for the device built into the console and it was packaged with some higher-end versions. However, the number of games and apps making use of Kinect functionality has dropped significantly as the system's lifespan has continued, with the removal of a dedicated port on the Xbox One's newest incarnation seeming to signal that Microsoft has all-but given up on the concept. Microsoft's official announcement about the Xbox One S included a related statement from Lapsen, saying "In order to make the Xbox One S as compact as possible and make all of these updates, we removed the dedicated Kinect port from the back."
On the other hand, while the port is gone, Kinect functionality itself will remain. Users wishing to use (or continue using) Kinect software and apps will be able to plug the peripheral into one of the Xbox One S's traditional USB ports by way of a special adaptor, which will retail for $49.99. Microsoft is making the adaptor available for free to gamers who had previously purchased both an Xbox One and a Kinect and wish to upgrade, providing both products are properly registered beforehand.
Left unsaid is whether or not the (near) demise of Kinect means that Microsoft is giving up on motion-control as an Xbox fucntion altogether. The company is heavily rumored to be developing a dedicated VR platform, which would presumably incorporate a new motion-oriented mechanic of its own for use in VR titles where hands are part of the playable experience - though no concrete indications of this have yet emerged.
NEXT: Xbox One Project Scorpio Details Revealed
A limited edition launch edition of the Xbox One S will be made available in August 2016, followed by the release of two standard versions soon thereafter.

Refill not landfill
Refill Not Landfill
Refill Not Landfill campaigning to turn Cambodia's plastic mountains into molehills
Jaya House RiverPark has been partnering with Coola-Products & together took a lead on dealing with plastic waste in Cambodia, more than 40 members of Siem Reap's hospitality and tourism industries and development sector have joined & launched ReFill Not Landfill, a campaign aimed at revolutionising the way water is consumed by tourists in Cambodia and thus spurring a transformation of the kingdoms's landscape
At the foot of Angkor Wat — one of the most famous and increasingly popular tourist sites in the world — this informal consortium has come together to replace one-use-only plastic water bottles with reusable aluminium bottles refillable at designated venues across the city. The ultimate goal of ReFill Not Landfill is to substantially reduce the amount of plastic waste produced in the Kingdom, and even change its entire landscape. In 2015, 4,775,231 million visitors travelled to Cambodia, staying an average of 6.8 days each. During that time, these visitors consume an average of two litres of water per day, many from half-litre or litre bottles which means they have the potential to generate, on average, 130 million plastic half-litre bottles every year. That is more than 10 million bottles per month, or 355,000 bottles per day, equivalent to 26 Olympic swimming pools filled to the brim with plastic bottles every single year, year after year. And that number can only grow as the number of tourists to Cambodia is projected to continue rising.
Globally, plastic has become a plague on the planet, killing wildlife, choking seas, and filling landfills for centuries to come. Few bottles are recycled as the facilities for doing so are virtually non-existent within Cambodia and the resources for transporting them to neighbouring countries are informal and limited. Even in developing countries with formal infrastructure, such as the United States, as little as 23% of the plastic bottles sold end up being recycled. In Cambodia, they end up in landfill or blown around the countryside, which struggles under drifts of plastic discards along roadways, in rice fields and gardens, and along watercourses which often become blocked creating flooding and other damage.
One refillable aluminium bottle can last up to 4 years or more. Even assuming a life span of just three years, a single bottle can replace as many as 4,380 plastic bottles. The #Refill Not Landfill campaign has already received orders for 65,000+ bottles, and rising, representing a potential saving of 175,200,000 plastic bottles over the next four years. That is a huge saving not just for the environment, but also economically.
This initiative reflects a growing global trend towards eliminating the use of plastic bottles and other products as an essential measure for environmental protection. Over the last 15 years, countries such as Ireland, Australia, the United States, India, Bangladesh, Rwanda, China and France have introduced restrictions on the sale and distribution of certain plastic products, including bottles, bags and dining utensils.
In Siem Reap, participating hotels, cafés and restaurants, attractions, tour operators and NGOs will issue their branded bottles to guests and clients in the manner they see fit, and they all have the option to brand them as they choose, meaning Refill Not Landfill can really become part of their identity. The back of the bottles feature the names of all of the free-of-charge water refill locations across the city helping visitors to find them with ease.
This is how one relatively small group is hoping to push along the revolution towards a greener, more beautiful country and planet, for the benefit of those living and yet to be born.

The Power Transmission Distributors Association Business Index for the third quarter of this year produced a reading of 50.3, which represents deceleration from the second quarter reading of 54.2. This indicates that the power transmission/motion control (PT/MC) industry expanded for the 10th consecutive quarter at a slower pace compared with the second quarter of this year.
Both distributors and manufacturers reported decelerated sales growth compared with the last quarter. On average, sales rose 5% in the third quarter, down from the 7% growth seen in the second quarter. Distributor sales growth increased 5% in the third quarter down from 6% in the second. Manufacturers also reported decelerated growth of 6% in the third quarter, compared with 8% growth last quarter.
PTDA members expect 2013 to be another year of growth, with an average forecast of 6%. Notably, 83% of distributors and 78% of manufacturers surveyed expect positive growth in 2013.
The Business Index is conducted jointly by PTDA and Cleveland Research Company and is modeled after the Purchasing Managers Index. It tracks change in business activity, new orders, employment, supplier deliveries, inventories, prices and backlog in the PT/MC market to arrive at an overall index.

Making Sure You Get The Right Compare Van Insurance

Auto insurance is a legal requirement if you wish to operate a vehicle. While some policies may seem expensive, picking the kind of coverage you need and considering your budget can help you pick something affordable. Read this article for tips on how to choose the right auto insurance policy.
One way to reduce the cost of your auto insurance is by driving less. Most auto insurance companies offer discounts for drivers that use their vehicles less than 12,000 miles in a year. However, do not be tempted to lie about your mileage, as your auto insurance company might request proof if you need to file an accident claim.
Contact your auto insurance agency if you have a change in your work situation. Retiring, cutting back your hours, or switching to telecommuting all mean that you will be driving considerably fewer miles each week. The number of miles you drive can have a significant impact on your auto insurance rates.
Remove towing from your car insurance. Removing towing will save money. Proper maintenance of your car and common sense may ensure that you will not need to be towed. Accidents do happen, but they are rare. It usually comes out a little cheaper in the end to pay out of pocket.
Auto insurance for young drivers is very costly. If you cherished this article go compare van cheap insurance and you would like to receive more info with regards to catering van insurance compare kindly take a look at our own site. You can save some money by choosing the right kind of car for your teenager to drive. If you allow your teen to drive the Mustang, prepare to pay through the roof. If, on the other hand, you restrict your teen to the most "beater"-like car you own, your premiums will be notably lower.
Many insurance companies have discounts for cars that have extra anti-theft or security features. If your car has some of these features, like anti-lock brakes, you should ask your insurance company and see if there are any discounts available. Also, you can get discounts if you took a defensive driving class or if you are a student with good grades.
Be a safe driver. This one might seem simple, but it is very important. Safer drivers have lower premiums. The longer you remain a safe driver, the better the deals are that you will get on your car insurance. Driving safe is also, obviously, a lot better than the alternative.
Rental car policies vary, but most allow only an immediate relative, who is of age, to drive the rental car. Be sure to pay special attention to the rental contract as it will state who is allowed to drive the car. Some rental companies will require anyone driving to sign the agreement and provide their driver's license. It is also possible for the rental company to charge an additional fee for additional drivers.
In order to get the very best price on your auto insurance policy, avoid making monthly payments on the policy. Instead request to divide your premium into two payments, six months apart. In this way, you will be able to avoid monthly processing fees assessed by numerous companies. Even if your insurer requires monthly installments, try to set up automatic payments in order to avoid any additional mailing or billing charges that may otherwise accrue.
Look in to the option of group insurance. There are some insurance companies that offer discounts to drivers who get their insurance through a group plan. This could be a policy through an employer or club. Inquire with your employer or any clubs that you belong to and find out if it is available.
Many auto insurance policies come with an optional roadside assistance program. Consider cutting this program from your policy if you have never used it. Roadside assistance seems like a modest expenditure for a safety feature. You should evaluate your roadside assistance fees by totaling them up annually or per-use to get a better feel for the true cost of the program.
Know just how much your car is worth when you are applying for car insurance policies. You want to make sure you have the right kind of coverage for your vehicle. For example, if you have a new car and you did not make a 20% down payment, you want to get GAP car insurance. This will ensure that you won't owe the bank any money, if you have an accident in the first few years of owning the vehicle.
If you get into a car crash or other accident, it is too late to use insurance to cover costs to repair your vehicle. To avoid the illegal practice of driving without insurance, check out multiple policies and pick one you can afford. Remember these tips when looking for auto insurance.

The offshore funds--ICP Strategic Credit Income Fund Ltd. and ICP Strategic Credit Income Master Fund Ltd. -- were so-called feeder funds managed by ICP Asset Management LLC, a money-management firm founded by Thomas C. Priore. Lawyers for the liquidators said in a suit filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New York that Mr.Read more
Cliffs Natural Resources Inc said on Wednesday it was seeking court protection from creditors of its Wabush iron ore mine and related assets in Eastern Canada, four months after it sought similar protection for its other Canadian iron ore assets. The U.S.-based iron ore and coal miner said it had concluded that a "more comprehensive restructuring and sale process" would result if it was able to include the Wabush group under the same creditor protection it obtained in January for its larger Bloom Lake iron ore assets in Quebec Superior Court.Read more
The deal between the Canadian government and U.S. Steel that allowed the steelmaker to renege on its obligation to make steel in Canada — at plants in Hamilton and Nanticoke in Ontario — will remain a secret, CBC.ca reported. An Ontario Superior Court judge ruled that while it is reasonable that the deal be open, for fairness in the bankruptcy protection process, he dismissed an unsealing motion, saying he didn't have the authority to make that happen.Read more
Barclays and the Royal Bank of Scotland were among six banks to be fined a total of $5.7 billion (£3.8 billion) by British and US regulators over allegations that they rigged the $5.3 trillion-a-day foreign exchange market, The Standard reported. The settlement, which also involved US banks JP Morgan, Bank of America and Citi, as well as Switzerland's UBS, means banks have handed authorities around $10 billion to deal with the scandal. Barclays, Citi, JPMorgan and RBS also all pleaded guilty to a US antitrust violation.Read more
Thirteen Brazilian and international banks filed a lawsuit in New York on Tuesday against two units of ailing engineering and oil conglomerate Grupo Schahin to recover $371 million in overdue principal and interest on loans, Reuters reported. The lawsuit comes weeks after Schahin sought for protection from creditors in Brazil and the United States, and fired 2,500 workers as a corruption scandal at key client Petróleo Brasileiro SA hampered its efforts to refinance up to 6.5 billion reais ($2.1 billion) in debt.Read more

Nanman (simplified Chinese: 南蛮; traditional Chinese: 南蠻; pinyin: Nánmán; Wade–Giles: Nan-man; literally: "Southern Barbarians") were aboriginal tribes who lived in southwestern China. They may have been related to the Sanmiao, dated to around the 3rd century BC. The Nanman were multiple ethnic groups including the Hmong, the Kinh, the Tai, and some non-Chinese Tibetan-speaking groups such as the Bai people. There was never a single polity that united these people.
The Book of Rites details ancient stereotypes about the Si Yi "Four Barbarians" surrounding China.
The people of those five regions – the Middle states, and the [Rong], [Yi], (and other wild tribes round them) – had all their several natures, which they could not be made to alter. The tribes on the east were called [Yi]. They had their hair unbound, and tattooed their bodies. Some of them ate their food without its being cooked. Those on the south were called Man. They tattooed their foreheads, and had their feet turned in towards each other. Some of them (also) ate their food without its being cooked. Those on the west were called [Rong]. They had their hair unbound, and wore skins. Some of them did not eat grain-food. Those on the north were called [Di]. They wore skins of animals and birds, and dwelt in caves. Some of them also did not eat grain-food. The people of the Middle states, and of those [Yi], Man, [Rong], and [Di], all had their dwellings, where they lived at ease; their flavours which they preferred; the clothes suitable for them; their proper implements for use; and their vessels which they prepared in abundance. In those five regions, the languages of the people were not mutually intelligible, and their likings and desires were different. To make what was in their minds apprehended, and to communicate their likings and desires, (there were officers) – in the east, called transmitters; in the south, representationists; in the west, [Di-dis]; and in the north, interpreters.[1]
During the Three Kingdoms period, the state of Shu Han ruled over Southwest China. After the death of Shu Han's founder, Liu Bei, the tribesmen of the region rebelled against Shu Han's rule. The Shu Han chancellor, Zhuge Liang, led a successful expedition to quell the rebellion.
In the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the rebellious Nanman tribes are depicted as an alliance under the leadership of Meng Huo. Meng Huo is said to have submitted to the rule of Shu Han after being captured and released no fewer than seven times by Zhuge Liang. This story has been adapted into many other works of fiction over the centuries, as well as video games based on the era.
During the Tang dynasty, the Hmong ceased as a major non-Chinese group except in Yunnan, where they were ruled by the six Zhao (趙). The southernmost, known as Mengshezhao (Chinese: 蒙舍詔) or Kingdom of Nanzhao (Chinese: 南詔), united the six Zhao and founded the first documented independent Nanman state during the early 8th century. The royalty were thought to be Bai people. Nanzhao regularly paid tributes through the head of military district Jiannan Jiedushi (劍南節度使). When the Tang dynasty gradually declined, Nanman gained more independence, but were largely assimilated by later dynasties, in particular from the Yuan Dynasty onward. However, some of Nanzhao's cultural influences were carried south due to its location.
The early Chinese exonym Man (蠻) "southern barbarians" was a graphic pejorative written with Radical 142 虫, the "insect" or "reptile" radical. Xu Shen's (c. 121 CE) Shuowen Jiezi dictionary defines man as "Southern barbarians [who are a] snake race. [The character is formed] from [the] insect / serpent [radical and takes its pronunciation from] luàn 南蠻蛇種从虫䜌聲."[2]

Solution Preview
On Social Control Theory
Social control theory (SCT) is not just one theory but a set of theories that attempt to explain criminal behavior. It had its origins in the work of Travis Hirschi in 1969 when he explored the question of why people follow the law and why others don't. He proposed that the reason why criminals do why they do is because their bonds with society have weakened. At root, society is seen as a system of mores, practices, beliefs, traditions and behaviors and this includes an understanding of ethics, morality and the law. Hirschi believes that criminals do not have a strong bond with these systems because of their socialization, the environment they live within and their varied motivations that had led them to either not understand or ascribed to social standards or not know of them in the first place. Thus their relationships, values, realities, practices, faith, culture beliefs, commitments and everyday life all come together to motivate them to act in a way that is contrary to what is seen as legal, acceptable and expected behavior in society. These behaviors thus are deviant and often lead to criminality in that they lack the attachment, commitment, involvement and set of beliefs that would otherwise control their behavior. If people have been socialized (having learned from their ...

Last January, when we began interviewing Amazon veterans about what it is like to work at the company, we realized that we were stepping into a heated private debate.
A culture of secrecy surrounds Amazon; all employees sign nondisclosure agreements and many former employees feel bound by these long after they've left. But most of the workers we spoke with while reporting our Aug. 15 story about the company had spent a great deal of energy reflecting on their experiences there, trying to reconcile feelings about a system they found both compelling and troubling.
Many of those workers said Amazon had provided them with great work opportunities and found its boldness and inventiveness addictive. But they also said the culture at Amazon seemed almost punishing by design, and described a workplace characterized by frequent criticism, often excessive workloads and expectations the company itself calls "unreasonably high."
Some decided the benefits outweighed the drawbacks; others fled. But most of the people we interviewed had spent long hours debating Amazon's system with co-workers, friends and family, and were willing to help us understand it.
Most companies mellow as they grow older. Not Amazon, the country's fastest growing and most innovative retail operation. It maintains a start-up's pace for tens of thousands of white-collar workers and a total work force of 180,000. The company has always been forthright about its toughness. (Amazon's founder and C.E.O., Jeff Bezos, originally contemplated calling his business Relentless.com.) But no one had deeply reported what it was like to work inside it.
David had been writing about Amazon for most of its history. As a Washington Post reporter, he gave Mr. Bezos a tour of The Post newsroom in the late 1990s, introducing him to Katharine Graham and other executives and editors. No one thought he would one day end up owning the paper. Jodi had written stories involving Starbucks employees and Stanford graduates, about how technology is transforming the workplace, redefining notions of performance and merit, resetting the limits on how much we are supposed to work, and creating new classes of winners and losers.
As we talked to more and more people — marketers, software engineers, retail specialists, human resources executives — themes emerged. Amazon was distinctive, described itself as "peculiar" and was proud of it. Its work culture also is a harbinger of changes in the white-collar workplace, which is growing more efficient but also harsher.
Obviously other businesses — law firms, hedge funds — have demanding work environments. What was fascinating about Amazon was that Jeff Bezos invented its management system from scratch just two decades ago, drawing on his counterintuitive insights to develop instructions called the "leadership principles" that governed almost every aspect of life there.
From our interviews, we were able to draw connections between Mr. Bezos' philosophy, Amazon's practices, the company's success in the marketplace and stories of individual workers. We asked more than a hundred current and former Amazon employees open-ended questions about how the system shaped the workplace and played out in their lives. We learned about the mechanics: tools for secret feedback, quizzes on thousands of metrics, and about the way the leadership principles were invoked in meetings, guided hiring decisions and were even cited by employees at lunch breaks.
Because Amazon is a sprawling business, part technology enterprise and part retailer, experiences varied. Some sought-after engineers, for example, felt fewer pressures than did easier-to-replace marketers. We discovered a pattern of workers who said they were edged out after serious illnesses and personal crises and encountered a number of women who described gender issues at the company. (A female employee shared with us copies of an internal discussion in which women expressed frustration at an environment they called overly combative and particularly challenging for parents.)
We spoke with Amazon officials too. Requests for interviews with Mr. Bezos and his top leaders were declined, but we did discuss the culture with public relations officials and a handful of managers whom Amazon authorized to speak.
Our reporting extended beyond employees. We interviewed dozens of people in Seattle and elsewhere who had watched the Amazon system play out — recruiters, employment lawyers, financial analysts, management experts, competitors large and small, the start-ups that would eagerly bring ex-Amazonians onboard the moment their stock vested.
All writers harbor hopes that their stories will be widely read, but we were surprised by how deeply this one tapped in to readers' curiosity about how those ubiquitous Amazon boxes got to their doorsteps, and aroused concerns about a changing workplace. There were 5,800 comments on the story, the most ever for a Times article, and thousands upon thousands more in all sorts of forums, including on Amazon itself. The story got millions of page-views, a big number for a nearly 6,000-word newspaper article.
In the ensuing debate, Silicon Valley leaders split into two camps: The venture capitalist Marc Andreessen and many others suggested Amazon's system is the price of excellence, while the Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz and others argued that overwork can hurt companies and that the technology industry must find a better way.
Perhaps best of all, current and former Amazonians picked up where the article left off, adding more detail and lived experience than even a long newspaper story can contain.
As with our sources, some of them had experienced only Amazon's highs. "It's been brilliant people, fluffy dogs, and good problems so far," wrote Benjamin Cohen, a recent graduate of the Wharton School of Business who joined the company several months ago.
His comment was echoed by Brittan Cole, an Amazon human resources executive, who wrote that "my experience here is one of being rewarded for hard work and performance, never being coerced to do either."
Mr. Bezos took issue with our story, and emailed Amazon employees after it appeared in the Times. "I don't recognize this Amazon and I very much hope you don't, either," Mr. Bezos wrote. But he also said that Amazon would not tolerate the "shockingly callous management practices" described in the article. Subsequently Amazon staff reached out to former workers who had written to Mr. Bezos about unhappy experiences at the company.
Many veterans talked publicly for the first time about their difficulties at Amazon. They took to LinkedIn, Facebook and the New York Times website to say the story reflected their experiences. (Our email inboxes also filled with letters from current and former Amazonians saying much of the same thing.) A striking number of Amazon spouses weighed in on how the system's stresses had affected them too.
Julia Cheiffetz, now an executive editor at HarperCollins, wrote about how Amazon pressured her out after she had a baby and cancer at the same time. "Please, make Amazon a more hospitable place for women and parents," she wrote. Customers have contacted the company as well; David Conner of Washington, D.C., a longtime Amazon shopper, wrote a note to Mr. Bezos saying that "if Amazon is truly 'customer obsessed,' consider this customer's extreme disappointment in your company's past actions."
For us, the discussion sounds familiar and novel. In all the months of phone calls and coffee dates, Amazon veterans had shared their thoughts about how to reconcile the strengths and weaknesses of the system, about workload limits and whether greatness is achievable on gentler terms. Now, these topics are a matter of vigorous public debate.

Paper Sculptures Of Calvin Nicholls
Inspired by family, friends and by his high school art teacher, Calvin Nicholls enrolled in the three year graphic design program at Sheridan College in Oakville, Ontario. Experiments with paper sculpture began in 1984, and before long these sculptures played a dominant role in most of his design clients' projects and campaigns. It was a matter of time before his life-long interest in art and wildlife combined. Follett Library Resources of Chicago, commissioned him to begin a wildlife themed campaign in 1995, which continued to this day with over 75 large sculptures completed and displayed throughout their offices. Woodson Art Museum juried his piece entitled "Flight" into the acclaimed Birds in Art Show for 2013.
A few of Calvin Nicholls' beautiful paper scultures are displayed here.

I will be induced on the 16th, so if anyone would like to share their induction stories, please do! I am a little nervous and just want to know how it went for other people! thank you!
how are they inducing you? Are they inserting the gel/pill or are they inducing you w/ pitocin? I was induced with pitocin with my son (I was 39 weeks and ready to go!!).. I was already 3 cm and 100% effaced and my doctor didn't want me having a big baby, I am a small girl.... They started pitocin around 7:30, and I started having contractions..they were managable and just felt like cramps...Then around 9:00 or so they broke my water and then all hell broke loose!! From the minute they broke my water, the contractions came on strong, one right after the other, and I broke down and asked for the epidural....After that it was heaven!!! I started pushing around 11:00 and had my son shortly after 1:00...Yeah, I pushed for 2 hours, but its kinda hard when you are numb and can't feel your contractions!!! But over all it was a great experience and I would get induced again.
I was induced with pitocin. They started the pitocin at 7:00 A.M. I didn't feel any contractions, the doc came in and broke my water at 7:30 A.M. I started feeling contractions hard at 8:00 A.M. Labored until 11:45, pushed for about 20 minutes and gave birth at 12:06. I had a little demerol during transition labor but it didn't work at all. So 1 hour before contractions started to hurt, 3 hrs. 45 mins. of bad contractions, and 20 mins of pushing. I wouldn't do anything different.
I was induced with pitocin and had a wonderful labor and delivery. I started the pitocin at 8am, the doctor broke my water at 9:30am and I began having contractions that were not painful at all. They finally began to hurt at around noon, so I got my epidural. Then I slept from 2-5, pushed for 20 min. and my son was born. I would not change a thing! Best wishes to you and your baby- it will go fine!
I go in tomrrow night at 10pm to get cervadil inserted to soften my cervix then at 6 am they are gunna remove it and start the pitocin drip and i think i am 2cm dialted already and im am over 39 weeks what should i expect??? i jus wanna know whats gunna happen!

Welcome to P& Cruises. There are several cruise itineraries readily available, but for the traveler looking for a further contact of journey or just an off-the beaten-path cruise experience, cruising the Panama Canal aboard a small expedition ship is the way in which to go.
Nothing is more lovely than sailing within the fjords in Norway, the sea like glass, with the little houses perched against the sides of the fjord so remote you wonder what these folks do within the winter months and the way they get there supplies or even handle to survive however I guess if this is your regular life you do not know any completely different then it is in all probability c'est la vie.
There are many cruise lines to select from, and whether we take turns on every totally different cruise line to see the variety they have to offer or find one we like to stick with that line repeatedly to achieve factors and therefore perks, there are cruise traces and ships enough that everyone can discover one they like.
, Star Cruises (which owns 50{d014712538de208d3794f924f29ba1050fff63cd91d220225bbab695d11456f0} of Norwegian Cruise Line ; NCL in its personal right is the third largest line), MSC Cruises , and Louis Cruise Lines Louis Cruises has largely grown its fleet through buying older second- or third-hand ships, while the opposite four operators have largely constructed their very own vessels and mixed personal the majority of the "megaships".
I've to say that I really enjoyed unpacking and leaving all the pieces in a single spot and not having to worry about it. While the size of rooms on-board cruise ships right this moment will definitely differ we opted for a room with a view, or a veranda as they name it. The room was loads big enough for the two of us and it was good to have a small balcony to exit onto.

The grill will be pulled out less often now that the cold weather has arrived.
So this week, Big Fun put together a list of the top five places to get the best steak in Terrebonne and Lafourche.
Without freezing, this is how you can get some fresh, tender, juicy beef. Our readers sounded off and these restaurants made the cut — the "center cut," that is.
Where: 632 N. Canal Blvd., Thibodaux.
Each week, about 500 to 700 steaks are served to hungry customers at Santa Fe, so there's no wonder why this newcomer restaurant made the list.
Manager Tammy Gordon says the fact that the steaks at the restaurant are fresh and never frozen is what puts them on top.
The most popular steak ordered at Santa Fe is the filet.
Locally hand-cut, there's no manipulation on the tenderloin in an attempt to preserve the meat as there would be if it traveled from far away.
"When that happens, several hands touch it, which makes it tougher," Gorman said. "We have a meat cutter on the premises and our steaks are cut every single day, so there's no defrosting or any of that stuff."
Cost: $16.99
Hours: 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays; and 11 a.m.-11 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays
Information: 446-0112
Where: 4293 La. 1, Raceland
By the time the weekend ends, this Monday night bar special is highly anticipated, bringing in a crowd for hours, owner Bobby "Beck" Grabert says.
Grabert said the reason his steak night made the list is because customers appreciate the low cost, and not being "short-changed on the quality of the meat."
Beck's marinates the IBP select beef steaks, from formerly known as Iowa Beef Processors, Inc., now Tyson Fresh Meats, for five days before they're cooked and served to the masses.
Customers have the choice to top their steaks with the bar's special onion gravy.
"People really love the gravy, but some people don't get it," Grabert said. "They have the option."
Cost: $13. The entr�e includes roasted potatoes and French bread.
Hours: 5:30-9 p.m. Mondays
Information: 537-7275
Where: 8013 Main St., Houma.
When it comes to steak, Caf� Dominique serves only prime beef, the most tender and juicy meat grade, owner Donna Malbrough said.
Steaks at Caf� Dominique are seasoned with a little olive oil, kosher salt and cracked black pepper only. Simple seasoning helps to bring out the natural flavor of this cut of beef, she said.
The most popular steak dishes in the downtown Houma restaurant are the ribeye and the beef tenderloin, with the latter coming in first.
"That's because it is a very tender cut of meat, and yet it is the leaner of the two most popular steaks," Malbrough said. "Because prime beef has more marbling, it gives this leaner cut a whole lot more flavor."
Cost: The beef tenderloin is $34. The entr�e includes a potato and vegetable.
Hours: Lunch, 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays; and dinner, 5-10 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays.
Information: 223-7540
Where: 724 High St., Houma.
Grilling techniques are the key to a perfect steak from Cristiano's. What those techniques are is a secret even the restaurant's manager, Cassie Babin, said she can't pinpoint. Only the chefs know the details, but locals say however the restaurant cooks their steaks, the result is a tasty one.
"Several things make our steaks really good, like the cut of the meat," Babin said. "It's very tender and flavorful."
A customer favorite is the filet, served with grilled asparagus and topped with peppercorn brandy and demi-glace sauce, a rich brown sauce derived from French cuisine.
Cost: $33 and includes garlic mashed potatoes.
Hours: 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays; 11 a.m.-11 p.m. Fridays; 5-11 p.m. Saturdays; and 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Sundays
Information: 223-1130
Where: 1023 W. Tunnel Blvd., Houma.
An empty parking lot is a rare sight at this Houma steakhouse. After its recent merge with Bogwalk Seafood, Mike's now has even more to offer.
But even with all the new seafood entr�es and thick, flavorful steaks, one of the most popular menu items is a steak appetizer — steak and cheese.

UTICA — Two juveniles are facing arson charges following a fire Saturday at the Dollar Tree store in the Hannaford Plaza, according to the Utica Police Department.
Police said that at about 1:15 p.m., the Utica Police Department responded to the Dollar Tree in the Hannaford Plaza on the 1100 block of Mohawk Street for a report of a fire.
From the onset of the investigation witnesses reported to Oneida County 911 that two juveniles were responsible for starting the fire inside of the store, officials said. Responding officers were able to locate and detain the two juveniles who fled the Dollar Tree north through the plaza after they were followed by store employees.
The Utica Fire Department battled the blaze, along with assistance from the Oneida County Department of Emergency Services and the Vernon, Whitesboro, and New Hartford fire departments.
The Dollar Tree suffered from extensive inventory loss and severe damage to its retail space, police said, and other retail locations in the plaza also reported inventory damage.
The Utica Police Department Juvenile Aid Unit and the Utica Fire Department Fire Marshal's Office conducted a criminal investigation into the matter, officials said. As a result, the two juveniles were charged with second-degree arson and sent to a detention facility until a time when they can be brought before an Oneida County Family Court Judge.
The fire is still under investigation, officials said.

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio – One of the top small college basketball rivalries delivered another instant classic as Wittenberg University's Jacob Bertemes' 3-pointer with :00.5 left in regulation tied the game at 67, and the sophomore delivered the game-winning old-fashion three-point play with :00.3 on the clock in overtime to lift the fifth-ranked Tigers over the 16th-ranked College of Wooster men's basketball team 78-77 in overtime on Saturday night at Pam Evans Smith Arena in Springfield, Ohio.
With the win, Wittenberg (23-2, 16-2 North Coast Athletic Conference) clinched the No. 1 seed for next week's NCAC Tournament. Wooster (20-5, 14-4 NCAC) will be the No. 2 seed and will host DePauw University (11-14, 7-11 NCAC) at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 20 in the quarterfinals.
Wooster led by 10 at 62-52 with 1:42 to go in regulation after a pair of free throws by senior Spencer Williams, but the Scots missed four free throws down the stretch, and couldn't get a stop defensively, which set the stage for Bertemes' game-tying trifecta.
In overtime, it was Wooster's turn to play catch-up, and senior Ari Stern came through with a jumper to pull the Scots within one at 70-69 with 2:42 remaining. After a steal by junior Eric Bulic, sophomore Danyon Hempy made a quick layup in transition to bump the Scots out in front 71-70.
Later in the extra stanza, Stern's old-fashion three-point play with :25 remaining put Wooster back on top 76-75, and the Scots extended the lead back out to two in the final five seconds, but couldn't get a second free throw to fall.
Stern, who logged his first start of the year, made his presence felt on the court from the game's onset with a tip-in on an offensive rebound for the game's first points, and at the other end of the half, the guard hustled down a lengthy offensive rebound in the corner, and that led to an eventual drive to the hoop by Hempy, whose fine touch handed Wooster a nine-point cushion (33-24) at halftime.
Stern was instrumental in the game's first significant run as well with his 3-pointer at the 15:51 mark kicking off a 12-4 stretch. Junior Blake Blair took the lead in the game on the low post, and backed his man down to push the lead back to three at 12-9. Then, Hempy's hustle defensively led to a steal, and the flashy guard laid in a quick transition bucket to pad the lead to five.
Later in the run, Williams hung in the air, and had just enough arc to drop in a floater that made it 19-11 at the 12:04 mark, and not long after, he rejected a deep 3-pointer by Mitchell Balser.
Wittenberg's Connor Seipel bullied his way inside for a layup with 4:24 left in the stanza that had the Tigers within three at 27-24, but Stern stepped up and prevented the game from closing even further with back-to-back steals, and senior Alex Baptiste found his rhythm with four late first-half points.
The Tigers caught up to the Scots with a 9-0 run to start the half, as Wooster didn't add to its score until the 14:41 mark when Hempy logged his third steal and quickly flipped the ball in to the hoop to put Wooster back in front at 35-33.
Later, sophomore Trenton Tipton banked in a runner off the glass, and sank the ensuring free through to complete the three-point play and bump the lead back out to five at 42-37 with 11:12 remaining. On the defensive end, Baptiste logged a big block with Blair saving the ball, but the Scots were unable to cash in at the offensive end.
Jordan Pumroy pulled the Tigers within two on a pair of free throws with 8:04 to go in the second half, but those would be the last points Wittenberg scored until the 3:46 mark.
During that span, Wooster exploded on a 9-0 run, with Hempy making a pair of buckets, including a 3-pointer than hit off the front of the iron, and took a friendly bounce. Defensively, Blair logged the Scots' eighth block of the game during the Tigers' scoring drought.
Landon Martin sparked Wittenberg in the final 4:00, as his 3-pointer pulled rejuvenated the Tigers, and with 1:19 to go in regulation, Bertemes pulled the Tigers back within single digits.
With the win, Wittenberg's within two games (59-57) of Wooster in the all-time series between the rivals, and the outcome marked the 47th tilt between the two winningest programs in Div. III history to be decided on by five points or fewer.
Hempy led Wooster on the night with 23 points on 8-for-19 shooting, and his remarkable run of consecutive free throws made came to an end at 31 late in the second half.
Stern scored 12 points, secured seven rebounds, and recorded three of the Scots' eight steals.
Baptiste logged an active game as well with eight rebounds, six points, and three blocks, and he's now in the top 10 all-time in program history in the latter statistical category.
Bertemes led all scorers with 26 points.

ALGIERS — High above the sea in a heavily guarded villa, Algeria's 82-year-old president, Abdelaziz Bouteflika, sits in a wheelchair — mute, paralyzed, barely able to move his hands. Hovered over by a flurry of attendants and family members, he has not uttered a single word in public, much less given a speech or interview, since a stroke in 2013.
Twenty miles away in the capital, Algiers, tens of thousands of demonstrators fill the streets every week loudly demanding his departure, and that of the extensive, ill-defined entourage around him that Algerians call simply the "power," the nexus of high-ranking officials, wealthy businessmen and military officers who actually run the country.
The demonstrations, the largest in over 30 years, have grown larger every week and seem unstoppable. Algeria, the largest country in Africa and a rare pillar of stability in the Arab world, now faces an uncertain future.
The protesters' demands are unambiguous: After two decades of undivided reign, Mr. Bouteflika, his clan, and his system must go.
"We feel like we've been violated for 20 years," said Haid Mohamed Islam, a 27-year-old doctor standing outside the modernistic national library on a recent wind-swept day. "It's time to break the chains."
While it remains far from clear what happens next, a sense that change is inevitable is sweeping the country.
The protest has caught on across the country and among all classes of society, from bankers to bakers to truck drivers to teachers to waiters to students. "It is extraordinarily diverse," said Nacer Djabi, a sociologist.
An offer by Mr. Bouteflika that he would not run for a fifth term, which the government portrayed as a major concession, was roundly rebuffed by the protesters because it fell short of their demand that he step down immediately and because it appeared to leave him in office indefinitely. The episode seemed only to energize them.
The government and the security forces, adept at swatting away the small protests that periodically erupt in Algeria, seem stymied. Its officials say they have ruled out firing on the protesters. And as the protesters' numbers have grown, a violent response could backfire.
Although it remains difficult to imagine the government yielding to the protesters, recently there have been positive signs of at least a tacit acceptance.
State news media, at first barred from covering the protests, have begun reporting on them. "The Street Is Not Backing Down" was the banner headline in the daily Liberté on Wednesday.
The ruling National Liberation Front and the army have joined the chorus of praise for the demonstrators, with the chief of staff hailing their "unequaled sense of civic responsibility."
"Just on its face, the dynamic is really very strong," said Louisa Dris-Ait Hamadouche, a leading political scientist here, her words nearly drowned out by thousands protesting around her on Friday.
For decades, Algeria was seen by allies on both sides of the Atlantic as a bulwark against the regional Islamist threat. After the army brutally crushed an Islamist insurgency in the 1990s, the military chose Mr. Bouteflika, a wily ex-foreign minister whose political roots go back to the earliest years of Algerian independence, to lead the country.
Algerians welcomed the end of the nearly decade-long conflict and accepted Mr. Bouteflika with it, an arrangement made even easier as oil money began flowing freely in the early 2000s, and with it generous social benefits.
In 2011, Algeria proudly rode out the Arab Spring, its leaders mocking the reckless, pro-democracy demonstrators in neighboring countries even as they shut the country off from the outside world. There are virtually no tourists here, and downtown Algiers is free of the international commercial brands seen elsewhere.
Mr. Bouteflika also cloistered himself. According to journalists and political scientists here, he has never given an interview in the Algerian news media in his two decades in office. Since his stroke, even his body has disappeared: He has been replaced in public appearances by his framed portrait, known here as "the frame."
There were few complaints. Large public works programs and free loans to young people, financed by the country's oil and gas wealth, kept citizens content and quiescent.
A top member of the governing coalition, speaking on condition of anonymity to talk freely, said the Bouteflika system was built on patronage and corruption. With oil fetching high prices, "money flowed like water," he said. "There was corruption in bidding. Easy bank loans. People got rich on public money."
But in 2014, the prices of oil and gas, which account for 97 percent of the country's exports, started falling. Unemployment among the young bit deeply as the government cut social benefits.
Last month, when Mr. Bouteflika announced he would run for a fifth term, the bottom fell out. Algerians had had enough of his system, and his physical incapacity became a metaphor for the withering country.
Ordinary Algerians, in the grimy downtown streets where great chunks of plaster are peeling from the Haussmann-style buildings, in the shabby cafes made shabbier by five years of fluctuating oil prices, and in the mass demonstrations, say there is no going back.
"They thought that because we were quiet, we were stupid," said Rabah Bouberras, 32, a shopkeeper from the suburbs who was demonstrating in Algiers on Friday. "But the people are not going to forgive them. We're not hungry. It's a question of dignity."
Corruption has become a major grievance.
"In my sector it's flagrant," said Abdenour Hadjici, a sales manager for a plaster company. "There are certain people that are favored." A builder he knows, for instance, got a cheap loan because he knows a high-placed general, he said.
But it is the central demand of the protesters, that the whole Bouteflika system must go, that would be hardest to satisfy, government insiders and analysts here say.
"The clan that governs this country isn't going to just let go just like that," said Zoubir Arous, a leading sociologist, as he watched a stream of chanting youth, many draped in the Algerian flag, march on a downtown street. "It's a question of life or death for them."
And "the system" is wider than Mr. Bouteflika and his cronies. Eliminating it would require purging a tentacular web of corruption encompassing thousands of people and built up over years.
"Everybody's been co-opted," said Mr. Djabi, the sociologist. "It was, 'Come with me, and you will have everything.'"
Inside the gargantuan marbled government buildings constructed with oil money, there is worry and hesitation. Officials, stunned by the size of the demonstrations, insist occult forces are guiding them.
The demonstrations have been taken over by opposition politicians, they say, or Islamists, though there is little evidence of either at the demonstrations. The officials are bewildered at the absence of leaders among the protesters, and at the total rejection of the government's offers.
"They're saying, all those who are part of the system have to go, but that's excommunication," exclaimed a top official, who declined to be quoted by name. "We recognize that there are reasons for frustration. But does that justify calling into question everything that has come before?"
There is also the question of who is really in charge and who has the authority to negotiate with the protesters.
Mr. Bouteflika is said to be barely able to speak, though top officials and friends insist that he is lucid and capable of dispensing directives.
"He's in control of his faculties, 100 percent," Lakhdar Brahimi, a former United Nations negotiator and friend of Mr. Bouteflika's, said in an interview here this past week. He said he had recently seen the president, whom he has known since they were young revolutionaries together in the early 1960s.
"Still, the fact is, he's disappeared from the scene," Mr. Brahimi said. "And that creates a problem."
Revolution has a cherished place in Algerian memory, and the victory over France almost 60 years ago is enshrined in national pride. In the late 20th century, Algeria was a global archetype of third world revolution and ground zero for revolutionaries from the Black Panthers to the African National Congress.
Now France is watching events here anxiously from across the Mediterranean. Home to an Algerian diaspora in the millions, France is already reckoning with the boatloads of young would-be migrants who attempt the dangerous crossing.
The protesters say rising up against oppression is a hallowed national tradition.
"Our parents made the revolution," said Hassen Khelifati, 51, a prosperous insurance executive who has participated in the demonstrations. "For us, at least we will be able to say, we tried. We can't just say to our children, we were cowards."
He is joined on the streets by a banker, Mallem Amel, 25. "There's been this consciousness raising," she said. "We can't stay in this situation."
And a doctor, Zaidi Hamza, 26. "The Algerian people want a radical change," he said. "There isn't a single category in the population that will negotiate with them."
They say they will fight to the end.
"We're not afraid of a blood bath," said Zohir Geurroumi, a 23-year-old law student. "This isn't for us. It's for our descendants."B:

Kind of Like: Rubik, rooftops, Six Gallery, Kite Party, Foals
Genres: Math Rock, Emo, Indie
Preview: Bandcamp
"'Whereas most two-guitar four-piece bands seem to have a built-in attitude of riff-first, ask questions later, NGOD appear to approach each of their beautifying three-minute packets from all angles via all instruments. This comes across in their music, each track presenting a synthesis which in the hands of lesser musicians would come across poorly.'
NGOD are a four piece experimental rock/pop band from Bradford. Consisting of Samuel Augustine (Vocals & Guitar), Luke Fielding (Guitar), Lewis Dutton-Taylor (Bass) and Alex Dutton-Taylor (Drums)"
When I heard Six Gallery wasn't going to be making anymore music after Breakthoughs in Modern Art, I was pretty bummed because they were like if rooftops had a vocalist, and a great one at that. Fortunately, this band is around because they do that as well and also have great direction in their music. They are also from the UK; which gives them a Foals feel at time.

Mainstream media attempts to normalize pedophilia
As the truth further unravels on the depths of child abuse among the global elite, the mainstream media continues scrambling to convince the public that pedophilia is "normal".
An awakening seems to be gripping the masses as the veil is slowly lifted on the pedophile rings that have managed to stay hidden in the shadows for far too long.
Outside commentators such as Russian President Vladimir Putin have exposed these powerful Elites, stating that the West is "controlled by Satanic pedophiles".
Putin has also drawn attention to the Western corporate-owned media for attempting to brainwash the public by "normalize pedophilia".
Now, it seems, the New York Times is trying hard to push the idea that adults who rape children shouldn't be considered criminals, but should be accepted by society in the same way that same-sex couples are treated.
Others from websites like the National Review have played up the connection between how same-sex marriage came to be accepted and how those very supporters now want to bring the same level of normalcy to a relationship between an adult and an underage boy or girl.
After reading through some of these sites and blogs, admittedly not delving too deeply, I had to ask the question: Is this just conservatives being conservative, or is there really an element out there that wants to normalize pedophilia?
It took some digging, but I think I've found the core of conservative outrage, and it seems to stem from an opinion piece in the New York Times written by columnist Margo Kaplan.
What did Kaplan have to say?
