Angry Birds is a video game and it's about little and chubby birds trying to protect their eggs from green pigs because are trying to steal them.
Concetrated
This video game was successful because of its combination of funny style and low price. Many people played this game even adults could stop playing this amazing game.
Let's be honest, those characters were so sweet and was almost impossible not wanting to help them to protect their eggs.
The best thing is that we have angry birds in real life and this photographer from Finland did photograph them.
The same way these birds do in the video game they like playing and also protect themselves so they can't be attacked.
Ossi Saarinen decided to go to some forest that are located in Finland so he could photograph these amazing birds, they seem to be straight out of a video game.
Getting the chance to see them closer must be amazing, noticing they look like the character from Angry Birds, and being honest they act the same way as the characters.
Ossi knew he had found the perfect models. He takes photos of different wild animals that he can find in Finland.
These sweet and little birds seem to have the same attitude as the one in the video game, angry and funny.
Ossi's photographs are not only sweet but also really funny. It doens't matter what people say, this chubby bird is ready to go swimming.
So angry
Angry Birds as their name says is because they are always angry and these birds that are in Finland forests seem to be angry too.
Great attitude
These little friends have great attitudes and that's what make them more interesting.
Their little and colorful bodies are interesting and make anyone want to see one of these angry birds in real life.
They enjoy nature and they also like being free. When a human appears they keep acting with great attitude.
Ossi loves taking photograph of wild species and then he shows them doing sweet things.
Maybe these real birds were the inspiration for those who created that game.
So little
Even if they are little nothing makes them feel afraid and they keep flying and acting with a great attitude.
Sometimes Ossi has to go and take pictures even if the weather is not so good but he loves doing it.
without any doubt, birds are so clever and have many abilities that may surprise us and we must admire them.
Angry birlds
These little parrots are the angry birds in real life and of course, they have a great attitude and also are sweet and a little angry as the ones in the video game.

20 celebrities who are clones of characters from the past
There is an urban legend out there that says that you have seven lookalikes around the world. While it may be almost impossible for us regular folks to find our "clones", it's a lot more easier for celebrities… that notoriety and the fact that so many people know your face makes it easy for others to point out lookalikes. Some celebrities even have a most curious type of lookalike: one that is no longer on this world. It sounds a bit creepy perhaps, but if you compare the celeb with their historical lookalike, the resemblance is uncanny.
Without further ado, here are some current personalities and the interesting lookalikes they have… who lived a long long time ago.
1. Mark Zuckerberg and Philip IV of Spain
vía fress.co
Five centuries separate the King of Spain from the King of Social Media, but that doesn't stop their eerie resemblance to each other. While King Philip led Spain into a bloody civil that spanned 30 years, Zuckerberg started a revolution of a different kind with Facebook.
2. Leonardo DiCaprio and Judy Zipper
Judy Zipper was an ordinary schoolgirl from the sixties. Her yearbook photo was stumbled upon and her uncanny likeness to "Wolf of Wall Street" superstar Leonardo DiCaprio was noted. Zipper looks much like the hordes of teenage girls who worshipped DiCaprio after his iconic appearance in "Titanic."
3. Sylvester Stallone and Pope Gregory IX
Pope Gregory IX ran the Catholic church for only 14 years in the 13th century, but paintings of the long-dead pope bear a striking similarity to the face of action star Sylvester Stallone. The pope's baggy-eyed, heavy-jowled depiction could hardly be flattering for the "Rocky" actor.
4. Brad Pitt and Herman Rorschach
What do a turn of the century psychiatrist from Switzerland and one of Hollywood's most popular actors have in common? Looks, apparently, as Pitt was born four decades after Rorschach died. The connection between their similar faces raised eyebrows and sent hearts to pounding.
5. Nicolas Cage and his Civil War Era Twin
Rumors flew that Cage was immortal when comparisons between the "Leaving Las Vegas" actor and this random man from the time of the Civil War made the rounds on the internet. Theories to explain the photo abound, including that Cage is a vampire, time traveler, or an old-fashioned immortal.
6. Macaulay Culkin and a young Vladimir Putin
Living at the same time does little to connect Culkin and Putin, but pictures of Putin in his youth draw many comparisons to Culkin as a grown man. The "Home Alone" star has become rather eccentric in his adulthood and struggled with addiction, while Putin has become the ironclad leader of Russia.
7. Christina Aguilera and actress Ginger Rogers
Ginger Rogers was best known as Fred Astaire's fleet-footed dance partner with an abundance of grace and poise. Her facial twin, Aguilera seems to have taken a different road to fame, but with no less talent and popularity.
8. Jack Black and Paul Revere
"School of Rock" funnyman Jack Black has a brother from another mother over two hundred years apart from Paul Revere. Revere's legendary ride to warn of the impending invasion of the British proves that both men also had the vocals to accomplish their goals.
9. Alec Baldwin and President Millard Fillmore
The 13th president of the United States and "30 Rock" star Alec Baldwin have more than a passing resemblance to one another. One has to wonder, however, if their political views would have lined up as neatly as their features.
10. Peter Dinklage and his likeness in the work of painter Diego Velázquez
Velazquez' "Portrait of Sebastian de Morra" beautifully captures the image of Sebastian de Morra centuries before the birth of de Morra's "double" Peter Dinklage. The "Game of Thrones" actor has been immortalized on the small and big screens for future generations and comparisons.
11. Zach Galifianakis and Louis Vuitton
Louis Vuitton, French designer of the highly prized Vuitton handbags and other fashion pieces, has a twin in comedian Zach Galifianakis. Vuitton and Galifianakis have little in common, but it would not be much of a stretch to imagine "The Hangover" star carrying a Vuitton bag in the movie.
12. Jay-Z and a Harlem man from 1939
Both Jay-Z and the anonymous man from Harlem lived in New York, so that logical question raised would be, are these two men related? It is unknown if they are, but the iconic rapper and the mystery man could certainly pass for twins.
13. Jimmy Fallon and Mahir Cayan
Mahir Cayan was a politician from Turkey and Jimmy Fallon is the newest host of "The Tonight Show." The two hardly seem to have anything in common except being mirror images. Maybe Fallon can turn this into a comedy bit.
14. Johnny Depp and philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer
18th century philosopher Schopenhauer and heartthrob Johnny Depp led very different lives in very different times, but the two men appear to at least come from the same bloodline. One wonders what Schopenhauer would think of Depp's characteristically strange film roles.
15. Jennifer Lawrence and Zubaida Tharwat
Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence and Egyptian screen Goddess Tharwat share more than just their occupation. Their shockingly similar facial structures and smoldering eyes make them appear as possibly the same women in period clothes for a film.
16. Justin Timberlake and a criminal from the past
Timberlake and his old-timey counterpart make the observer wonder if Timberlake has a few criminals dangling from the family tree. If not, the "Cry Me a River" singer may have been hiding a time machine and a penchant for trouble with the law.
17. Orlando Bloom and Nicolae Grigorescu
Both artists in their own right, Bloom and Grigorescu used their inherent creativity to produce lasting works of art. Both men were also blessed with lustrous, full heads of hair in addition to their matching features.
18. Tilda Swinton and David Bowie
It makes an odd sort of sense that the androgynous rock icon and the androgynous Oscar winner look quite alike. The pair is tall, ethereal, and almost neutral in their sexuality. It would not be a shock to discover they were long-lost siblings.
19. Bruce Willis and General Douglas MacArthur
Two war heroes, one real, one made from movie magic, have more than military stratagem in common. It is worth noting, however, if their physical resemblance is so uncanny or merely their auras of masculinity so similar.
20. Jason Segal and actor Lee J. Cobb
Veteran actor Lee J. Cobb could very well pass for "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" actor Jason Segal's grandfather. Segal can use Cobb's image in his later years as a predictor for his future appearance.

The best urban legends about rock bands
The most famous and iconic rock bands are surrounded by a lot of urban legends… some of these have been denied, but here we're going to reveal the best and most controversial in history.
Although some of these stories have been debunked, people will never forget them because they make for a better story. Any publicity is good publicity in the end, right?
Ozzy Osbourne bit a dove's head
He is also known for biting the head off a bat, so this crazy rockstar already had experience biting animal heads. In 1981, Ozzy and Sharon had a meeting with the executives of a record company, with whom they wanted to discuss having a record contract. Osbourne was very drunk and decided to take two doves with him, so he could let them fly and impress the people in the meeting.
How did Ozzy's bite a dove head?
Ozzy got so bored during the meeting so out of nowhere he decided to bite the dove head and ripped it off, proceeding then to just spit it out on the lap of a PR women who was horrified and screaming. While the body of the headless dove twisted someone screamed "get that animal out of here!" And so they took Ozzy off the office. Osbourne remembers that he was so drunk that the dove tasted of orange liquor, feathers and some beak.
Marilyn Manson was on The Wonderful Years
For many years, there was an urban legend that said that Kevin Arnold's best friend had grown up to become controversial singer Marilyn Manson. Paul Pfeiffer, Kevin Arnold's best friend in the series "The Wonderful Years," was an excellent student, extremely intelligent, but also quite stubborn.
Mariyn Manson is not Paul Pfeiffer but fans like the history
The idea of an innocent child actor named Josh Saviano turning into the controversial Marilyn Manson was definitely a very good story, but this was never true. Manson's real name is Brian Warner and was never in the filming of the classic TV show.
Paul McCartney died in an accident in 1966
In 1969, an urban story started circulating that said that the real Paul McCartney had died on November 9, 1966 by crashing his Aston Martin into a truck, losing his life instantly. The Beatles Manager, Brian Epstein, hid the information from the media and found a double named William Campbell, who was taught to play the bass as a left-handed and then posed for the album covers. The urban story specifies he didn't sing. Instead, their management used many artists with similar voices for the recordings.
No one denied that the Paul we know could be a double
Some fans found supposed hidden messages which confirmed the theory of the death in the magnificent disc Abbey Road. The symbols were John dressed in white as the priest, Ringo goes of mourning, Paul was the dead one because he goes barefoot and walking different than the rest, and George was the gravedigger. However, everything is a lie and seems to be a big advertising strategy. If Paul hadn't returned to do live shows, many would have believed this nice story.
Peter Criss of Kiss became an indigent
After his separation from Kiss, Peter Criss made an album and then disappeared for many years. After some years a rumor arised that the ex drummer of the millionaire band had been left without a penny, that his family had abandoned him and that he was living on the streets of New York.
A TV show took the truth in the 90's
Star Magazine did a report in the 1990s and helped spread this rumor, but it was all a simulation made by a comedian named Christopher Dickinson, who posed as Criss and told the story not only to the people who saw it, also to other homeless who said they have shared the streets with the legendary Kiss drummer. The truth came out when in a television show Criss himself confronted the indigent.
Gene Simmons of Kiss had a Cow's tongue grafts
In the 70s some magazines made great sales telling myths about the band Kiss, and one of the most famous was that Gene Simmons had a surgery and placed a graft to get his tongue longer, and that the extra bit of tonge used was of a cow.
Simmons tongue is a bit big, but 100% real
The rumor that Simmons' tongue belonged to a cow is almost 50 years old. It's said that seeking his personal mark the musician decided to graft a cow tongue into his own, resulting in that notorious long tongue. Simmons has said many times this rumor isn't true, but is his favorite of which were invented of Kiss.
The Doors stole the instruments from a Mexican band
Even if you don't believe it, the members of The Doors looked like some vile thieves when one of the amplifiers of the Mexican band Los Locos del Ritmo was brought into their truck after a performance at the famous club Whiskey a Go Go.
Was it not just Jim Morrison's confusion?
One of the Locos said that the performance of the singer was rare, because he didn't face the audience, that he always played on his back and trusting that they were a random band, they didn't pay much attention to them. They later realized they had lost part of their guitar equipment. Later, the Mexican group became legend in their own country and The Doors would reach the top of the world of rock with its extinct vocalist Jim Morrison.
Keith Richards inhaled his dad
The need to get high does cause scary, ridiculous acts or crazy anecdotes, as happened with Rolling Stones' guitarist Keith Richards, who in an interview said that he had aspirated the ashes of his father by combining them with cocaine.
CONFIRMED: Keith Richards consumed ashes of his father
Maybe no one would have thought of do something like that, and after saying it the artist wanted to deny it. At the same time, in another interview after insistence the musician admitted that he inhaled his father.
The singer of The Mamas & The Papas died for a sandwich
For many years it was believed that Cass Elliot, former singer of The Mamas & The Papas, had died when a piece of sandwich had become stuck in her throat.
This was a joke for being overweight, actually she died of a heart attack
The rumor came by the morbidness over her overweight. In fact, the reason for her death was a heart attack, caused by her obesity. A curious fact is that in that the same apartment in London where Elliot died, Keith Moon (the drummer of The Who) also left this world. It must be haunted by rockstars!
Elvis Presley Faked His Death
The millions of Elvis Presley fans around the world still haven't getten over from the death of the "king of rock" in the distant 1977 and have created the most incredible theories for comfort. Some think the singer belongs to the witness program protected by his collaboration in a drug investigation, because there were supposedly people who saw him on the day of his death leaving in a DEA helicopter at his Graceland mansion.
The King is alive!
Some people have said they saw Elvis in some locations in the USA and Argentina. Even a singer named "Orion" with the same style and voice was believed to be "The King", but when the rumors got stronger he just disappeared. The only truth is Elvis Presley is still in the hearts of many people.
Satanic Messages in Stairway to Heaven
Paul Crouch , a TV christian minister in 1982 claimed the song Stairway to Heaven heard at reverse had the subliminal message "here is my sweet Satan." The most disturbing thing about this reverend's act is in fact the quote can be heard (sort of) at a particular point in Led Zeppelin's famous song, but it seems to be just by chance.
The White Stripes: Jack and Meg are brothers
The iconic couple created certain doubts about their relationship in their first years as The White Stripes. It was not until 2001 when it was officially known that they were married, although both continued to feed the morbid fans. Finally, Jack himself denied it in 2005 in an interview with Rolling Stone, saying that they let people believe it so that the focus would be on their music.

26 Pictures that will change the way you think of the universe
By: Mundo.com - 9 March 2015, 21:27
When you are looking at your place on planet Earth, you might think that you have quite a niche carved out for yourself. There are many ways to look at how much expanse we have on this Earth. It would be impossible to see everything, but we live in a universe that is filled with things that you cannot possibly imagine unless you look at the pictures yourself.
Imagen de la NASA Goddard Space Flight Center / Via visibleearth.nasa.gov
This is Earth. This is where we live, and it is a pretty large place. However, we need to put that size into perspective. The Earth seems like a fairly large planet to us, but it is much smaller than we think.
Via foxnews.com
This is where the Earth fits into the solar system. You can see that it fits neatly into all the other planets. They almost are arranged by size, and we have a spot just for ourselves.
This is how far the moon is from the Earth. It is a little farther than you thought, is it not? Keep that in mind when you look up at night and notice that the moon has taken its nightly shape.
PerplexingPotato / Via reddit.com
Unfortunately, all the planets could fit between the Earth and the moon. That is frightening. Imagine looking up and seeing Jupiter in the sky and taking it all up when you look in the sky. It is so big that is could easily block sunlight, too.
Let's talk about size…
NASA / John Brady / Via astronomycentral.co.uk
That is where North America fits on Jupiter. It does not look so big now, and it appears that our place in the universe is rather small. In fact, our planet could not seem much smaller.
The rings of Saturn alone are as wide as that many Earths. You would be amazed at how large and rocky those rings are. They look nice from here, but they are massive when you consider them in this light.
Ron Miller / Via io9.com
This is what the rings of Saturn would look like if they were around the Earth. Could you imagine those standing out in the sky at night? You would always have something to look at when you peered into the sky.
Matt Wang / Via mentalfloss.com
That is a comet. Yes, that is a comet landing on a city. You might wish upon them when they fly in the sky, but they are not that nice when they compare to a city. Los Angeles looks like a tiny town, isn't?
Our tiny Sun, say Hi!
Vía Twitter: @maiwandafghani
This is how pitifully small the Earth is in comparison to the sun. It is a good thing that we are so far from the sun or we would be toast. Look at how big that thing is!
Maybe, the most famous photo of the 20Th.
This is the view of the Earth from the Moon. You can see pretty clearly that the Earth is not all that big when you are so far away, but it is a nice view for a lunar lander.
That is the Earth from Mars. That is quite a way when you consider how small the Earth looks. The view can get even more distant if you back up into the solar system a little bit more.
This is the view of the Earth from Saturn, and that is how far away the worm hole was when they traveled all the way there in Interstellar. The farther you get from the Earth, it appears to be a blip and not a planet full of life.
Now you are looking at the Earth from the edge of the solar system. That is just the edge of the solar system and we appear to be an insignificant speck in the universe. It is possible that we are a speck.
John Brady / Via astronomycentral.co.uk
This is the view from behind the sun. This is what is looks like when light leaves the Sun and makes its way to Earth to warm us and give up daytime. Sunlight travels even farther than you thought to give us daylight.
The soft sunlight from a distant planet. You can get the light from anywhere and the sun is much more powerful than you think it is. Just imagine sitting on another planet and still being bathed by the sun.
Vía science.nationalgeographic.com
There are more stars in the sky than there are grains of sand on Earth. Just let that sink in for a minute before you continue. That is a a lot of stars, and they will likely never be counted.
Via en.wikipedia.org
That is the largest star that we can observe. It is so large that it makes our own sun look small. If you think about how big the sun is in comparison to the Earth, that is quite a large source of light.
Now look at the Earth in comparison to this largest star. This is something that is hard to imagine. Think of a light source that big in the sky, it would be quite scary. You would be able to see the flames jumping off the surface of the star.
Vía reddit.com
If we could reduce the sun up to the size of a white blood cell and shrink The Milky Way, using the same scale, this is how would look. The sun is just one cell in the solar system, but the solar system is more like America. It is only one of many. We just happen to live in it, but there are many more out there.
Vía teecraze.com
There we are in the solar system. The Milky Way is pretty big, and it is hard to imagine how you would be able to see the Earth from this far away. We are swallowed up by the light created by all the stars in the galaxy.
(This picture is not the Milky Way, but you got a idea)Vía Twitter: @lucybrockle
Every star you can see at night only fits inside the galaxy. You cannot see light from outside the circle, and that is something you need to think about in the scope of the universe that we live in.
Vía Twitter: @smokeinpublic
Our galaxy is pretty pitiful in comparison to other galaxies out there. Just look at how big some of the them are. Could you imagine our huge world being in a place of that size? The galaxy dwarfs us.
Via hubblesite.org
Our little galaxy is down there in the corner, and this is just one look at the observable universe. There is so much more that we cannot see, and no one knows how big it really is. Just look the picture.
Vía wikisky.org
That is a telescopic image of another galaxy. It is so bright that we cannot see any of the planets or stars inside of it individually. The galaxy is so full of stars and light that you could never get a clear image.
Vía thetoc.gr
All of that came from that one little square. On this image it looks like nothingness. However, it where we live with other galaxies and an infinite number of stars. In the context of the universe, we are even smaller than we realize.
D. Benningfield/K. Gebhardt/fecha estelar / Via mcdonaldobservatory.org
In case you were wondering, this is how big a black hole is. If it were swallow up anything, it would swallow up our galaxy all at once. There is no need to worry about it getting just one planet. It is gigantic.

This is the space that the Earth takes up, but the Earth is just one of many planets and stars that take up space in the galaxy. You can see that the Earth is a very small contributor to the galaxy.
The solar system takes up all this space due to the orbits of some of the outlying planets. However, there is more to the galaxy. We often think of the galaxy as being one perfect circle, but it is far from the perfect circle kids learn about in school.
This is the space taken up by all the solar systems in our area. We have so many nearby that it would be almost impossible to investigate them all. Imagine taking your spaceship to explore all these like Captain Kirk.
The entire galaxy takes up this much space, but we only take up what is in that one little dot. The universe is so big that just one galaxy is that large. It makes the Earth seem pretty small.
Check out all the massive galaxies that exist in our one little corner of the universe. Again, the universe is so massive that this many galaxies fit in this space, and there are many more that we have not discovered yet.
That galactic group that seemed so large is actually not that big when you compare it to the super cluster. Just think on that for a minute. We are just one cluster in a much larger supercluster.
These are all the other superclusters that are out there. They make the planet Earth seem even smaller. You could not even pick out the planet from here, and it is possible that you would have a hard time finding our galaxy in this image.
This is what we can see in the universe. It may seem like a lot, but that small blotch is the tiny place where we live. The Earth is amazing, but it is not that big at all.

In light of Wolfe's resignation, Missouri football team 'closer and tighter'
Gary Pinkel: "My support for my players had nothing to do with anybody losing their job and, with something like this, football became secondary."
Missouri Tigers football players gathered to release a statement on Tim Wolfe's resignation and the conclusion of their boycott Nov. 9, 2015, at the Mel Carnahan Quad.
By Bruno Vernaschi and Will Jarvis and Alec Lewis
Gary Pinkel
Football Boycott
Monday evening, members of the Missouri football team said they had wanted to use their platform as high-profile athletes to make a difference.
Tim Wolfe, the UM System President, announced his resignation at 10:15 a.m. Monday. A number of controversial events on campus brought pressure on Wolfe, who was criticized for his inadequate response to racial issues at MU.
"It started with a few individuals on our team and look what it's become," sophomore defensive end Charles Harris said. "Look where we are right now. This is nationally known, and it started with just a few."
Wolfe, who had served as system president since 2012, failed to find a different solution to the demands from Jonathan Butler and Concerned Student 1950, who demanded he step down.
Graduate student Butler, 25, announced a hunger strike via Facebook on Nov. 2, stating he would not eat until Wolfe either resigned or was removed from office. That night, tents appeared on Carnahan Quad with the hashtag #MizzouHungerStrike displayed on signs outside the camp.
Tensions rose on campus all week as Butler's hunger strike continued, but it wasn't until the Missouri football team came out in full support that the headlines reached front pages of national media outlets.
The team's involvement began when sophomore wide receiver J'Mon Moore met with Butler Wednesday morning. The next day, he spoke to safety Anthony Sherrils, his roommate, about the situation. According to Moore, the two brought the idea of getting the football team involved to Harris and senior safety Ian Simon.
By Saturday, the entire team had been notified, and a photo was tweeted out by Sherrils of 32 black football players, arm-in-arm, with Butler in the center.
We're black. Black is powerful. Our struggle may look different, but we are all #ConcernedStudent1950 pic.twitter.com/obCjSWCFVY
— HeMadeAKing (@1Sherrils_2MIZZ) November 8, 2015
Following a lengthy meeting in the Mizzou Athletics Training Complex Sunday morning, coach Gary Pinkel sent out a tweet emphasizing unity within his program.
Following a statement on Sunday, Pinkel and athletic director Mack Rhoades took the podium Monday to further expand on the events.
"I got involved because I support my players and a young man's life was on the line and basically that's what it came down to," Pinkel said. "My support for my players had nothing to do with anybody losing their job and with something like this, football became secondary."
Although players chose to abstain from Monday's weekly media availability, a group of them, including Sherrils, Moore, Harris and Simon, gathered for a meeting at the MU Student Center. Following their conference, the athletes, followed by members of the media and accompanied by supporters, walked over to Carnahan Quad, where the Concerned Student 1950 campout was set up.
A number of football team members met in private within the sea of tents, after which they approached the media with a statement.
"We love the game," Simon said. "But at the end of the day, it is just that: a game. Through this experience, we have really been able to bridge the gap between student and athlete in the phrase 'student-athlete.' By connecting with the community and realizing the bigger picture, we will continue to build with the community and support positive change on Mizzou's campus."
Moore said he has been in contact with Butler throughout the day, noting that he had resumed eating, though slowly.
While the football players spoke to the media, Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin announced his resignation.
The four student-athletes who had been key in spearheading the boycott expressed their pride for the Tigers' unity.
"This can do nothing but just make a team closer and tighter," Moore said. "Like Coach Pinkel always says, 'Circle the wagons.' This can do nothing but bring us together and make us stronger."

Parador de Manzanares
La Mancha country house
⋆⋆⋆
Parador de Manzanares - La Mancha Country House (3*)
This attractive hotel, located just off the main road heading south from Madrid to Andalusia, lies in the heart of the culturally and historically rich region of Castilla-La Mancha. Well-known as the birthplace and setting of the adventures of Don Quixote, you can still see some of the old windmills made famous by Cervantes' iconic tale.
The Parador de Manzanares is located near the towns of Ciudad Real and Valdepeñas, between three of the most beautiful nature reserves of Spain: Cabañeros National Park, the Ruidera Lakes, and the Tablas de Daimiel, which is particularly renowned for its remarkable bird life.
With its white walls, Moorish tiles and pantiled roof, the Parador's architecture functions as a perfect blend of traditional and contemporary styles. Surrounded by several gardens full of trees, shrubs and flowers, the hotel also has a swimming pool and a play area for younger guests. Wooden furniture, leather chairs and wrought-iron wall light fixtures feature in both communal areas and guestrooms, creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere.
The Parador de Manzanares also offers two different dining areas, the Azafrán and Albergue dining rooms (with seating either inside or outside), as well as a wide selection of dining options.
Ideally situated, the Parador de Manzanares can be seen as a strategic base for exploring the Castilla-La Mancha area. With its four archaeological parks and the largest number of officially designated nature reserves, nature areas and national parks, this central region of Spain offers a variety of activities for history and nature enthusiasts alike. Many cultural events such as the International Classical Theatre Festival of Almagro as well as the Corpus Christi celebration in Toledo also take place in the region and are worth attending for a valuable insight into Spanish culture and traditions.
Located only 1 kilometre away from the beautiful town of Manzanares, the hotel provides a good access to the city centre and its historical monuments. Do not miss the Nuestra Senora de la Asuncion Church and its stunning 16th century façade or the castle of Manzanares in Plaza de San Blas, which still retains parts of its original keep and bailey.
The majestic city of Ciudad Real (Royal City) is less than an hour's drive away from the Parador. Ciudad Real's Santa Maria de Prado cathedral, classified as a Spanish Property of Cultural Interest, dates back to the 16th century and has magnificent features on the inside and outside, such as its colourful dome and Baroque altarpiece. The city also offers visitors a fantastic opportunity to become more familiar with Cervantes' literary hero thanks to the Don Quixote Museum. This interactive museum is comprised of both art and multimedia exhibits so as to provide visitors with a complete and unforgettable experience.
At the centre of the Castilla-La Mancha region lies the municipality of Valdepeñas. Less than 40 kilometres away from the Parador de Manzanares, this charming little town is mainly known for the wine-growing tradition surrounding it. Indeed, not only do wine lovers have the opportunity to discover the historical aspects of Valdepeñas' wine-making process in the city's wine museum, they can also enjoy a taste of the local product in one of the town's multiple wineries.

Don Quijote Route
How to get to the Hotel?
The Parador is 1 km from the town of Manzanares. The town is reached by the Madrid-Andalusia dual carriageway, turning off at km 174. Manzanares is located 63 km. from Ciudad Real, the capital of the province.
The third largest in area of Spain's Autonomous Communities, Castilla-La Mancha is also the least densely populated region on the Iberian Peninsula with just 21 inhabitants per square kilometre. Extending from the province of Guadalajara to the north of Madrid, down through central Spain to its southern borders with Murcia and Andalusia, this is a region of dramatic landscapes and extensive plains immortalized by Miguel de Cervantes in his world-famous work Don Quijote de La Mancha.
With mountains in the north, mountains in the south, high plains in the east and two major rivers, the Guadiana and the Tajo (Tagus), traversing the region from east to west the climate of Castilla-La Mancha is diverse, to say the least. Classified as 'Continental Mediterranean', in general winters are cold and summers are hot, with mild temperatures prevailing in autumn and spring.
Besides Guadalajara, the four other provinces which make up this region are Toledo (the city of Toledo is the region's capital), Albacete, Ciudad Real and Cuenca. These five cities are really the only major conurbations within this whole vast region, the rest of which encompasses hundreds of small, tranquil villages together with three of the most important nature reserves in Spain: Tablas de Daimiel and Cabañeros National Parks, and Ruidera Lagoons Nature Park. Daimiel and Ruidera are wetlands of great ecological value, rich in wildlife, in particular migratory birds. Cabañeros is representative of the authentic Mediterranean Iberian forest.
Certainly one of the region's cities, Toledo, is an absolute must to visit. One of Spain's great artistic treasures, Toledo towers on top of a hill protected by a bend in the Tagus river to form a natural fortress complete with moat, as it were. Declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, Toledo's old quarter encapsulates most of the historic sights in the city which was for many centuries the capital of Spain and known as the 'city of three cultures' – Christian, Islamic and Hebrew. Without a doubt the best view of Toledo is to be had from the Parador, located on a hill across the Tagus valley, preferably in early evening when the light is just magical.
Another UNESCO World Heritage Site is the city of Cuenca, dramatically set between two steep gorges and famous for its 'Hanging Houses', a number of which were originally built as a palace in the 18th century but are now property of the city. Much of the area of La Mancha traversed by Don Quijote and Sancho Panza lies to the south-east of the province of Cuenca and over the border into Toledo province, and a good place to see some of the famous windmills is in the countryside near the village of Campo de Criptana.
The cuisine of the region is varied. Guadalajara provides lamb and kid, and in particular 'morteruelo serrano' – a delicious rich paté of blended meats. Cuenca's dish 'par excellence' is its own version of morteruelo, made here with ground pork liver, game, hen, nuts and a variety of spices. Albacete is known for its gazpacho made with a crunchy flatbread, and for mountain rabbit and hare, while in Ciudad Real you will find many game dishes, several versions of 'pisto' (similar to ratatouille), 'asadillo' (roast skinned peppers and tomatoes with garlic) as well as excellent lamb stews.
Toledo was, according to Alexander Dumas, 'the Spanish city where he had eaten the best'. The province is rich in game and the best known dishes include Toledo-style partridge, marinated boar and 'cuchifrito' - crunchy pieces of suckling pig – together with many kinds of sweet biscuits and cakes.
The most emblematic product from La Mancha is Manchego cheese, made in over 300 towns and villages from the milk of over half a million sheep raised on the plains. Over the last twenty years or so the quality of La Mancha wines, especially red wines, has improved dramatically and excellent wine is now produced in the region, particularly in the area of Valdepeñas.

Open-Source Windows
By: Jason Brooks | January 12, 2009
Microsoft isn't getting knocked off its computing platform perch any time soon, but there's no question that Microsoft faces some very real challenges to its platform throne, the most daunting of which is the Web, where a seemingly omnipresent Google is working on relocating computing's center of gravity toward the browser and away from Windows or any other particular operating system platform. Though it may sound crazy, I contend that the best move Microsoft could make to broaden the reach and strengthen the core of the Windows platform would be to release the operating system as open source...
In my previous post, I wrote about how Microsoft's attitude toward open-source software has evolved, encouragingly, from outright hostility to cordial coexistence, and about how the company might maintain and extend its platform leadership position by moving beyond simple tolerance to aggressive adoption of open source.
Obviously, Microsoft isn't getting knocked off its perch any time soon--Windows has burrowed deeply enough into our computing landscape that Microsoft could probably switch off its development engines and coast on its momentum for another 15 years or so.
However, there's no question that Microsoft faces some very real challenges to its platform throne, the most daunting of which is the Web, where a seemingly omnipresent Google is working on relocating computing's center of gravity toward the browser and away from Windows or any other particular operating system platform.
It's easy to see how the shift toward the Web has buoyed Microsoft's smaller rivals, including an ascendant Apple that's a consumer electronics-based charge on computing, and an assortment of Linuxes that are oozing into all manner of new computing products.

One of the interesting aspects of Google's platform strategy is the idea that what's good for the Web is good for Google, and the company puts this philosophy into practice through a range of initiatives aimed at expanding and bolstering the Web, including investments in ventures such as Meraki and Clearwire, lobbying efforts around U.S. wireless spectrum allocation, and cold hard code such as its innovative, open-source Google Chrome browser.
Returning to Microsoft and its own platform stronghold, it's clear that what's good for Windows is good for Microsoft. Though it may sound crazy, I contend that the best move Microsoft could make to broaden the reach and strengthen the core of the Windows platform would be to release the operating system as open source.
Releasing Windows under an open-source license would benefit the platform in two major ways. First, an open-source Windows could be had for free, which would mean more legitimate Windows seats around the world and fewer barriers to upgrading to the latest version of the operating system. The result would be a larger and more modern network of Windows nodes at which ISVs could target sales of their Windows applications.
Second, a move to open-source Windows would inject an enormous amount of vitality and innovation into the platform, as the legions of user organizations, vendors and developers now invested in Windows could take the platform in new directions, the way that a much smaller community of stakeholders now does--to great effect--in the Linux community.
It's fair to ask how, if Windows could be had for free, Microsoft would make money. For starters, I'm not suggesting that Microsoft open-source 100 percent of what it now calls Windows. Rather, Microsoft could divide Windows into its separate operating systems and bundled application elements, restrict its open-sourcing efforts to the operating system side of the equation, and sell client and server distributions of Windows with proprietary Microsoft applications layered atop the open-source platform base.
This sort of division would help preserve existing Windows sales among customers who find value in Windows' current platform-plus-bundled-applications incarnations, while freeing Windows to wriggle into the cracks between business models that only Linux can now reach.
As matters now stand, you can build and run a business on Windows, but there's a definite floor and ceiling to the range of businesses where Windows fits best. The very smallest startups--the garage guys--and very largest operations--the Googles and Facebooks--are driven, without fail, to choose the low-friction licensing and development flexibility of open-source platforms, and I can't see this trend changing.
Open-sourcing Windows would be no small technical feat, and for Microsoft, the philosophical barriers to the move might prove difficult to surmount. It may seem like a gamble, but I say going all in with an open-source Windows is just the ticket to keep the platform relevant and alive for years to come.

Ask the Experts: Data Analytics Trends for 2020
Two leading data analytics experts share insights on trends – and best practices – in the year...


Such situations might not manifest themselves every day, but we can all agree that it's pretty awesome when they do.
So what if you could make your website into the equivalent of that stranger? That's the allure of personalized web experiences.
Website personalization allows your website to dynamically change depending on the characteristics of each person visiting your site. And through those real-time changes, you can serve up a website that better fits the needs of each individual visitor.
But what, specifically, is web personalization? Does it actually work? And can you implement it on your site without a 6-digit budget? Let's find out.
Web personalization is the idea of dynamically changing your website's content depending on the characteristics of specific visitors to your site. With the right tool, this personalization can stem from pretty much any variable you're able to track. The referral source, the number of times they've visited your site… you name it.
Web personalization allows you to customize the entire buyer journey for each individual visitor: a perfectly tailored experience from start to finish.
But the neat thing about web personalization is that you don't have to make it solely about the digital actions of your visitors. As long as you can reliably collect a piece of data (e.g. via a CRM), you can build end-to-end personalized web experiences based on offline activities like sales calls or in-person meetings.
Now, you might be thinking, "aha! Plenty of websites already let me see personalized content by selecting my interests." And that is a type of customization. But if the customization comes from user input, it's not the same thing as web personalization.
In the words of Amy Schade at Nielsen Norman Group, "customization gives control to the user and personalization gives control to the site." That is, the actual mechanics of personalization happen in the background, out-of-sight of your visitors' eyes.
Do Personalized Web Experiences Actually Make a Difference?
One of the leading causes of page abandonment is inconsistent web experiences. When a user lands on a website that doesn't relate to their interests and isn't relevant to their needs, they're more likely to leave.
But while improving your site's user experience is always a nice thing, it's made even nicer when that correlates with an improvement in your bottom line.
And, as luck would have it, plenty of data suggests that personalized web experiences are good for business.
For example, Monetate found that web personalization boosted sales by an average of 20%. And HubSpot discovered that even the simple act of serving up personalized CTAs generated 42% more leads than untargeted CTAs for the 93,000+ data points that they looked at.
If you think about it, it's not especially difficult to grasp why that is: people are just plain more likely to click, buy, or read content that fits what they're interested in. And when people are more interested in what they see, due to consistent, relevant user experiences, they're more likely to be satisfied and less likely to abandon your page.
Can You Get This For Your Site Without An Enterprise Budget?
But as web personalization has started to mature, new players have entered the field that make full-journey web personalization accessible to small businesses. And yes, some of them even work with the world's best CMS, WordPress.
Hyver lets you serve up dynamically personalized content over your entire site. And unlike platform-specific personalization tools like HubSpot and Unbounce, Hyver is multi-platform. Which means…it works with WordPress! And pretty much anything else you throw at it.
All you need to do is add one basic tracking code to your site. Then, you use CSS selectors to target specific areas of your site for dynamic content. Or, if you're using a WordPress page builder, you can just add an HTML code snippet from Hyver to a page builder element.
Letting you personalize content over your whole site, rather than just a specific section like your emails or landing pages.
Leaving you with full control over your data. While Hyver does use your data in real-time, it doesn't lock you into the platform.
Giving you access to your data in real time via Zapier so that you can synchronize it with your CRM, Slack, email marketing platform, or any other service you're using.
Done well, web personalization is something you shouldn't notice in your day-to-day life. It should feel natural, not jarring.
To get a better idea of how web personalization actually works, let's take a behind-the-scenes peek at a few more examples of web personalization in the wild.
We also had a chance to interview Brandon Willey at FetchRev for part of this article. Before learning about accessible web personalization, FetchRev was planning to build out 12 separate landing pages for visitors from their various ad campaigns.
A smart idea to boost conversion rates… but building out and maintaining 12 similar, but different, pages is a major pain.
Website personalization from Hyver allowed FetchRev to create one unified landing page that dynamically changes depending on each visitor's referring source. And while personalizing web experiences was FetchRev's initial goal, they've since expanded into using Hyver to personalize other parts of the buyer journey.
Hyver integrates with FetchRev's CRM, which allows them to automatically view visitor segments as contacts and leads. This enables FetchRev to send targeted, personalized emails to these leads based on their interests and site behavior. The result is a more powerful marketing and sales strategy that serves up compelling content that FetchRev's users want to see.
Bunting – skews towards eCommerce personalization.
HubSpot – one of the industry leaders, but requires using the HubSpot platform.
Optimizely – split testing and web personalization wrapped into one.
Unbounce – personalized landing pages, but you need to use the Unbounce platform.
Monetate – like Hyver, targets the full customer journey, but specifically for eCommerce sites.
Your visitors aren't the same. They didn't come from the same place. They aren't interested in the same products. And they won't all be moved to action by the exact same website.
There's a reason why 91% of the marketers surveyed by Evergage said that they "use or intend to use real-time personalization within the next year." Done right, it can boost your conversions and sales, all while serving up a better user experience.
Just remember – if you want to personalize web experiences on your WordPress site, a managed WordPress host like Pagely can help serve up personalized content lightning-fast.
