There remains a significant amount of confusion about the differences between Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and Mixed Reality. (Check out our exhaustive primers on Augmented Reality and Mixed Reality for an in-depth look at the differences.) The public seems to think that AR is a phone experience, while only VR requires an HMD. Mixed Reality devices like the Microsoft Hololens use a headset to overlay 3D imagery on top of the real world. Very cool, but not Virtual Reality. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32673925656.html
The Vuzix Blade are the first Mixed Reality glasses to look like, well, glasses. A close cousin of the "Buddy Holly" style or those 3D spectacles you get at the movie theater, Vuzix Blade moves many core smartphone features from the touchscreen to in front of your face. Thing Uber ordering, GPS, fitness tracking, weather updates, messages, and more. Vuzix Blade is compatible with iOS and Android devices, and will set you back a cool $999.
Daydream comes with a 3DoF (degrees of freedom) controller and supports most smartphones, but the quality of VR will vary depending on the phone you're slotting in there. While the quality of games can't compete with the big names, the Daydream platform has consolidated over the past year with a respectable lineup – including Wareable favourite Keep Talking & Nobody Explodes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7X6XAbRfk6c&t=1s
Everything that we know about our reality comes by way of our senses. In other words, our entire experience of reality is simply a combination of sensory information and our brains sense-making mechanisms for that information. It stands to reason then, that if you can present your senses with made-up information, your perception of reality would also change in response to it. You would be presented with a version of reality that isn't really there, but from your perspective it would be perceived as real. Something we would refer to as a virtual reality. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67oqXQP54GI&t=1s
Google and Samsung still offer phone-based VR headsets in the form of the Daydream View and the Gear VR, and even Nintendo has gotten into the game with its Labo VR Kit for the Nintendo Switch. However, these shell-like headsets, which require a phone or some other device physically inserted into them, feel like novelties next to more powerful headsets that can provide more immersive experiences. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFiZ7cZcuQo&t=1s

In 1968, Ivan Sutherland, with the help of his students including Bob Sproull, created what was widely considered to be the first head-mounted display system for use in immersive simulation applications. It was primitive both in terms of user interface and visual realism, and the HMD to be worn by the user was so heavy that it had to be suspended from the ceiling. The graphics comprising the virtual environment were simple wire-frame model rooms. The formidable appearance of the device inspired its name, The Sword of Damocles. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/US-Plug-AC-Adapter-Charging-Charger-Power-Supply-Cord-Cable-for-Xbox-360-Xbox360-E-Brick/32814634201.html
Answering "what is virtual reality" in technical terms is straight-forward. Virtual reality is the term used to describe a three-dimensional, computer generated environment which can be explored and interacted with by a person. That person becomes part of this virtual world or is immersed within this environment and whilst there, is able to manipulate objects or perform a series of actions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMq6DhHdRN4&t=1s
Leap Motion has been around for a while but now it's got a new lease of life as a VR peripheral compatible with both the Rift and HTC Vive. It attaches with an add-on mounted to the front of the headset and adds hand gesture controls to your virtual reality gaming. It's super precise, tracking each finger – the question is, how precise are your dumb human hands? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEi6u2lAYHg&t=1s
That same year, Carolina Cruz-Neira, Daniel J. Sandin and Thomas A. DeFanti from the Electronic Visualization Laboratory created the first cubic immersive room, the Cave automatic virtual environment (CAVE). Developed as Cruz-Neira's PhD thesis, it involved a multi-projected environment, similar to the holodeck, allowing people to see their own bodies in relation to others in the room.[13][14] Antonio Medina, a MIT graduate and NASA scientist, designed a virtual reality system to "drive" Mars rovers from Earth in apparent real time despite the substantial delay of Mars-Earth-Mars signals.[15] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOEyGEGypvs&t=1s
Virtual Reality is a fascinating way to travel using nothing more than the power of technology. With a headset and motion tracking, VR lets you look around a virtual space as if you're actually there. It's also been a promising technology for decades that's never truly caught on. That's constantly changing with the current wave of VR products, especially as the biggest names in the industry are starting to really hone and tweak their headsets. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/FW1S-USB-2-0-Webcam-12-0-Mega-Pixel-HD-Camera-Webcam-360-Degree-MIC-Clip/32659656232.html
Microsoft has been promoting its partnership with multiple headset manufacturers to produce a series of Windows 10-ready "mixed reality" headsets. The distinction between virtual reality and mixed reality is so far dubious, but it indicates an integration of augmented reality (AR) technology using cameras on the helmet. Acer, Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Samsung are some of Microsoft's partners in this mixed reality program.
In 2010, Palmer Luckey designed the first prototype of the Oculus Rift. This prototype, built on a shell of another virtual reality headset, was only capable of rotational tracking. However, it boasted a 90-degree field of vision that was previously unseen in the consumer market at the time. Distortion issues arising from the lens used to create the field of vision were corrected for by software written by John Carmack for a version of Doom 3. This initial design would later serve as a basis from which the later designs came.[25] In 2012, the Rift is presented for the first time at the E3 gaming trade show by Carmack.[26][27] In 2014, Facebook purchased Oculus VR for what at the time was stated as $2 billion[28] but later revealed that the more accurate figure was $3 billion.[27] This purchase occurred after the first development kits ordered through Oculus' 2012 Kickstarter had shipped in 2013 but before the shipping of their second development kits in 2014.[29] Zenimax, Carmack's former employer, sued Oculus and Facebook for taking company secrets to Facebook;[27] the verdict was in favour of Zenimax, settled out of court later.[30] https://www.aliexpress.com/item/GKK-Case-for-Xiaomi-Redmi-Note-5-Plus-Mi-8-Lite-9-SE-Note-7-Pro/32857636521.html
Independent production of VR images and video has increased by the development of omnidirectional cameras, also known as 360-degree cameras or VR cameras, that have the ability to record 360 interactive photography, although at low-resolutions or in highly-compressed formats for online streaming of 360 video.[46] In contrast, photogrammetry is increasingly used to combine several high-resolution photographs for the creation of detailed 3D objects and environments in VR applications.[47][48] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azRl1dI-Cts&t=1s
This may seems like a lot of effort, and it is! What makes the development of virtual reality worthwhile? The potential entertainment value is clear. Immersive films and video games are good examples. The entertainment industry is after all a multi-billion dollar one and consumers are always keen on novelty. Virtual reality has many other, more serious, applications as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5szCIv22-qE&t=1s
One place Microsoft has succeeded in how easy it is to set up its WMR headsets. It uses inside-out tracking, so you won't need to go plug in a bunch of sensors to make sure your headset is being seen. These headsets have built-in cameras and sensors that handle all of that. They'll even track the Windows Mixed Reality controllers, which suffer a bit because they rely on the headset being able to see them clearly to properly track. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jc-5tBEPUE&t=1s
The Oculus Go is the least expensive way to jump into virtual reality. At $200 it's pricier than mobile VR headsets, but unlike those headsets, you don't need a compatible (and usually expensive flagship) smartphone to use it. The $200 investment gets you right into a Gear VR-like virtual reality experience, complete with an intuitive controller. It makes some compromises for the price, like using a dated Snapdragon 821 processor and offering only 3DOF motion tracking, but it's still enough to try out Netflix on a virtual theater screen or play Settlers of Catan in VR.
Expand your media adventures and social gaming communities with accessories and peripherals created for virtual reality. For example, a VR controller offers seamless integration with virtual reality games to give you more control over your virtual environment. Beyond PC gaming, virtual reality experiences also encompass other forms of video. Virtual reality-compatible cameras capable of filming in 360 degrees offer you the chance to view and edit your footage, along with other VR-ready components. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a54H2V06dqw&t=1s
There's no wires here at all and no sensors to unlock the room scale tracking. Instead, you can draw out your VR space using the bundled Touch controllers, which are the same ones included with the Rift. The ability to draw multiple Guardians (as Oculus calls it) means you can freely move from different spaces and the headset will remember your safe VR territory. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3iJsobB3T4&t=1s
Currently standard virtual reality systems use either virtual reality headsets or multi-projected environments to generate realistic images, sounds and other sensations that simulate a user's physical presence in a virtual environment. A person using virtual reality equipment is able to look around the artificial world, move around in it, and interact with virtual features or items. The effect is commonly created by VR headsets consisting of a head-mounted display with a small screen in front of the eyes, but can also be created through specially designed rooms with multiple large screens. Virtual reality typically incorporates auditory and video feedback, but may also allow other types of sensory and force feedback through haptic technology. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3V15IB3pc94&t=1s

KNIFE & WIFE: THE TELLY-GANZA
So… Knife & Wife is going to be on the telly. That's all a bit absurd, no? In case the news has somehow passed you by, this October Bubblegun's most popular Fartoon is set to cough itself onto screens as part of Channel 4's Comedy Lab series.
As if that weren't thrilling enough, the one-off, half-hour show is being produced by Siriol – the Welsh studio responsible for Superted – and features the voice talents of Spaced's Jessica Stevenson, Jam's Kevin Eldon, Lee & Herring collaborator Paul Putner, plus George & Mildred veteran Brian Murphy, and – in possibly the most important role of his career – Terry Jones, as Knife himself.
Over the next couple of months, Bubblegun will be hitting your eyes with a series of lewd production updates. Attention: production updates begin… now.
BIFFO'S KNIFE & WIFE PRODUCTION UPDATE #1
Heck, where did it all begin, love? Having realised at a young age that it was possible to make people laugh by drawing pictures of men's cocks, and writing "PISS" on the back of geography textbooks, it was a semi-logical leap into semi-cohesive, but no less profane, narrative.
When I was at school, around the age of 13, I started drawing cartoons for friends – stupidly elaborate, A3, full colour things, with paint, and airbrushing, that would take all weekend, and be glanced at, and sniggered over, for 10 seconds, before someone vomited on them.
I have only a vague recollection of most of them. There was a super-hero – Super Floose Man – who yearned to fly, but could never break free from the confines of his cartoon panels (the precursor to Cartoon Man, probably). And some sort of deliberately crap joke fest entitled Campbell & Milligan's Laugh-At (sample joke: "What sort of kennel did Lassie go in? Kennel Fennel!").
A LEG-END IS BORN
And then there was this pre-Viz, joke tabloid newspaper I'd put together, entitled The Gat (sample headline: "Thugs Chuck Man"). And this is where Knife & Wife first appeared (in fact, I still have two faded, yellowing copies of The Gat – alas, not the one with K&W in – which I really ought to destroy).
I'm guessing the K&W strip was intended to be a deliberately piss-poor, and awfully drawn, spoof of The Sun's George And Lynn. I vaguely recall the first one having a topless Wife – though I may be confusing her with my own wife, who is always topless. And deliberately poorly drawn.
TELLY SAVVY-LESS
But while that's all very interesting, it doesn't explain the genesis of the TV thing. Well, it's like this. See, a couple of years ago, I was commissioned by Sky TV to write a film. Unfortunately, after several months of intense writing, the project slammed into a wall onto which were emblazoned the words "Development Hell". Burned out and disillusioned by horrible screenwriting rules like the "three act structure", and "reversal", and "not starting every line with ARSE", I needed an antidote.
I sought to write something stupid. Something really, really stupid that nobody in their right mind would commission. Animation being the only medium that could possibly accommodate the stupidity I envisioned, I began to pen a script. And that script just happened to be called Knife & Wife. And just happened to feature a woman married to a chicken.
Inevitably, it was given a thumbs-down by everyone. Absolutely – the production company behind animated pop culture zeitgeist mega-hit Stressed Eric – memorably dismissing it as "awful".
So yes, the initial Knife & Wife script was dismissed by everyone. Everyone except one Robert Popper, then employed by Granada Television, albeit in a role unsuited to commissioning stupid animations.
18 months or so went by, in which time I'd given up entirely on The Dream. And then Mr R.Popper resurfaced at Channel 4, by which time he was a commissioning editor, in charge of the next series of Comedy Lab. And what happened next? What happened next is a tale for next time.
For now, read that first ever Knife & Wife script – the one hated by Absolutely, and loved by Mr Popper - which for reasons that will be revealed shortly, will never be produced.
NEXT TIME: Knife & Wife – writing the first proper draft for Channel 4. Then re-writing it to remove the bad language, racist jokes, and sexism. And that isn't even a joke…

Two-dimensional binary clusters in a hard-wall trap: structural and spectral properties
Wen Yang, Minghui Kong, M. V. Milosevic, Zhi Zeng, F. M. Peeters
Within the Monte Carlo formalism supplemented by the modified Newton-Raphson optimization technique, we investigated structural and dynamical properties of two-dimensional binary clusters confined in an external hard-wall potential. Two species of differently charged classical particles, interacting through the repulsive Coulomb force are confined in the cluster. Subtle changes in the energy landscape and the stable cluster configurations are investigated as a function of the total number of particles and the relative number of each of the two particle species. The excitation spectrum and the normal modes corresponding to the ground-state configuration of the system are discussed, and the lowest nonzero eigenfrequency as a measure of the stability of the cluster is analyzed. The influence of the particle mass on the eigenfrequencies and eigenmodes are studied, i.e., we study a binary system of particles with different charge and different mass. Several unique features distinct from a monodisperse system are obtained.

PNG's Facebook ban: Govt declares war on porn & fake news
FILE PHOTO © Dado Ruvic © Reuters
Facebook is set to be banned in Papua New Guinea while the government hunts out fake profiles and porn, and assesses the social media network's effect on the population, the country's communications minister has said.
Papua New Guinea's (PNG) Communications and Information Technology Department, together with the National Research Institute, will research how the platform is being used by locals, and Facebook will be banned in PNG for one month.
Majority of Americans believe their personal data is currently unsafe with #Facebookhttps://t.co/BM8LbG2ISh
— RT (@RT_com) April 11, 2018
"The time will allow information to be collected to identify users that hide behind fake accounts, users that upload pornographic images, users that post false and misleading information on Facebook to be filtered and removed," Communications Minister Sam Basil told local media outlet the Post-Courier.
Basil also floated the idea that PNG could create its own indigenous version of Facebook to rival the social network, as the country seeks to clamp down on the spread of so-called fake news and the dissemination of pornagraphic images.
Out of a population of just over 8 million, only an estimated 12 percent of those have access to the internet.
Further to conducting an audit of Facebook, the month-long outage also gives the government time to enforce the CyberCrime Act, passed in 2016, which criminalises online activities including hacking, cyber-bullying, identity theft, unlawful advertising, and the production and publication of pornography.
The world's largest social network has come under increasing scrutiny from government in recent months over how user data is managed – and by whom – in the wake of the Cambridge Analytica scandal.

People who have low weight tend to believe that they do not have cholesterol problems. This is from the pre-conceived notion that obese and overweight people have high cholesterol.
Although it is true that fat and overweight people have a more likelihood of having high cholesterol, there are multiples cases where people have high cholesterol with low weight.
Often people think that when they are skinny but have high cholesterol, it is difficult to bring it down.
This is because one of the most beneficial ways to lose extra cholesterol is to lose weight.
Though true, to control high cholesterol with low weight, one only need to be aware of what to do and what small changes they must make to reach their goals.
Controlling your cholesterol is as simple as replacing food items in your diet with others. Switching certain food items that promote cholesterol amounts for items that help reduce cholesterol in the body greatly helps in maintaining a balance.
Having proper exercise is important for cholesterol control. Along with that, a proper diet consisting of food that helps lower cholesterol quickly and prevents its rise is also a great way to be healthy.
Many food items can help you regulate and lower your cholesterol.
Even in an Indian diet, where almost all the dishes have some sort of oil or saturated fats in them, you can swap simple food items and incorporate them into your daily food diets to help with lowering your cholesterol.
These are a very simple and healthy alternative to decrease cholesterol in the body. Normal and the most standardized Indian breakfast would be toasted bread with butter and milk with a side of eggs.
All these items cause cholesterol levels to rise in the body. Butter, oil to fry the eggs, carbohydrates from the bread all case high cholesterol.
Replacing this with a bowl of oats with skimmed milk greatly benefits you in controlling your cholesterol. Oats provide a rich source of fibre which helps in the lowering of cholesterol.
Eggplants and okra are rich in soluble fibres which help to reduce cholesterol quickly.
Both these vegetables are easily incorporated in many dishes and also easy to prepare at the same time.
Pectin-rich fruits like apples, grapes, strawberries and other citrus fruits are a great alternative for lowering cholesterol.
Pectin is a fibre that is soluble in nature and helps to lower LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) which are the bad cholesterol in the human body.
Apart from lowering cholesterol quickly, fruits provide other vitamins and minerals which are needed by the body for proper functioning and remaining healthy.
Using vegetable oils like canola oil and sunflower oils instead of lard and butter to prepare food is a great way to cut down on extra cholesterol and also lower cholesterol fast.
Eating fish two to three times a day has shown signs of the rapid dropping of cholesterol levels in the body. By replacing meat with fish, the body gets a boost of omega-3 which helps improve blood circulation and burning of LDL and cholesterol accumulation.
Also since you are not having any extra intake of cholesterol by eating fish, you can lower your cholesterol level even more quickly. By incorporating some or all of these cholesterol-lowering food items in your palate, you can control your cholesterol in an Indian diet and also lower it rapidly.
If you are apprehensive and reluctant to go the doctor or medical advisor to consult about your cholesterol, then you can adopt natural ways in which you can help you manage your cholesterol. By adopting these home remedies, you can avoid the intake of medication for cholesterol control.
Getting adequate exercise and physical activities can help you lower your cholesterol. By going about simple household chores and work and having a daily exercise routine can greatly benefit you in managing and controlling your cholesterol.
Consuming large amounts of alcohol can be injurious to your health in many ways. By limiting your intake of spirits and alcohol, you can prevent the increase of cholesterol amount in your body. Too much alcohol can cause your system to malfunction leaving you unable to burn off the stored cholesterol.
It is injurious to health in all walks of life and the same can be said when it comes to the case of cholesterol. Smoking causes you to incorporate cholesterol into your blood stream through your lungs directly.
Apart from doing exercise, a suitable diet that mutually benefits you should be implemented. Eating simple foods that quickly reduce your cholesterol while avoiding those which increases it is advisable.
Having a properly balanced diet with a suitable training exercise is crucial for rapidly lower your cholesterol levels without the aid of medication.
Following a strict regime and maintaining it is what is necessary for cholesterol control. If you manage to be rigorous and do not cut corners then within a matter of weeks, you will be able to see a significant drop in your cholesterol levels. From then onwards, it is simply a matter of maintaining the proper cholesterol level in your body.
Finding the right balance of food and exercise along with small habit and lifestyle changes is what can bring about the lowering of cholesterol naturally.
Even if you are reluctant to take medication, it is always advisable to consult with a family doctor, health advisor of paediatrician about your condition before making any sudden changes in your daily routine.
Professional advice is always valuable as they will be able to accurately predict and inform you of the proper methods and the effect these changes will have on you and your body.
By keeping your cholesterol levels within the normal range and in control will help you avoid many ailments and health risk which could be a threat to your health if cholesterol levels are too high and left unchecked.


A Flint-area Special Olympics team competing in this week's World Games in Los Angeles has been highlighted on ESPN.
Players from the Area 13 men's volleyball squad from the Greater Flint Region will be among the 7,000 international competing in the 2015 World Games set to get underway on July 25th. ESPN highlighted the story of the team's coach, Shelia Gafney, along with a number of players on the team. As ESPN says, for Gafney from Grand Blanc, "family and teammates are one and the same."
The video is brief but the story (linked above) is a reminder of the good in the Flint area. Let's all cheer on the team, and its coaches, as they compete among the world's best later this week!

Hrönn Sveinsdóttir, managing director of Bíó Paradís, is positively gushing about the film, which she says is one of the most beautiful films she has seen.
"Call Me By Your Name is a love story, a coming of age story, a coming out story and a period film rolled into one," says Hrönn. "It's been getting a lot of critical acclaim and now it has been nominated for an Oscar as best film. The rumour mill says it has no chance of winning because Moonlight, a gay film, won last year. But Call Me By Your Name is not specifically a gay film. It's much more than that."
The storyline of Call Me By Your Name runs as follows: In Northern Italy in 1983, seventeen year-old Elio begins a relationship with visiting Oliver, his father's research assistant, with whom he bonds over his emerging sexuality, their Jewish heritage, and the beguiling Italian landscape.
"… just about everything about this film is outstanding. It's definitely one of the best films from 2017. No doubt about that."
The film is based on a novel by André Aciman, James Ivory wrote the screenplay, the director is Luca Guadagnino, and the head of cinematography is Sayombhu Mukdeeprom. The lead actors, Armie Hammer and Timothée Chalamet have both been getting rave reviews for their performances and were both nominated for Golden Globes. Timothée Chalamet has also been nominated as Best actor at the Oscars and the film has received several Oscar nominations. Oh, and not to forget the musical score is by Sufjan Stevens, including a few new songs, which Hrönn says are incredible.
"Everything about this film is just so beautiful," she gushes. "The cinematography is outstanding, it's like a series of really really beautiful vintage postcards from Italy. The music is great and the story, and the acting, and just about everything about this film is outstanding. It's definitely one of the best films from 2017. No doubt about that."
The movie has gotten several Oscar nominations.
Call Me By Your Name has been criticised by some for not having a political queer agenda but Hrönn is adamant that it's a good thing to tell a gay love story without any gloom or sorrow.
"Absolutely," she says. "It's just a regular love story and the main characters being of the same-sex is not that big an issue. I find it refreshing. Isn't it about time to treat queer love the same way as any other love? It is more mainstream than most other films with a queer theme and I think it has helped it get to a much broader audience, which is a good thing as this is surely a film that everyone should see."
Bíó Paradís has been doing a splendid job of showing queer themed films in the last years. Is that one of the cinema's agendas?
"We are dedicated to showing good films that would not otherwise be shown in Iceland," says Hrönn. "It's not our agenda, per se, to screen queer themed films. But if they are good and meet our standards then we are very pleased to be able to show them to Icelandic audience who would not be able to see them elsewhere. As with every other film we screen the quality of the film is highest on our list and I can safely say that Call Me By Your Name meets all our qualifications. I would really urge people not to miss this gem."

Ok. You're in Iceland. Most likely for the first time.
You will probably bathe in the Blue Lagoon and take a road trip to Gullfoss and
Geysir. That's all well and good. But neither Geysir's nor waterfalls are
something you eat. That's why we have 15 brilliant and creative hamburgers at
The Hamburger Factory. And they are all perfectly square. Don't miss out on
Iceland's most beloved hamburgers.
The Hamburger Factory is Iceland's most innovative gourmet burger chain.
Packed with burger-craving customers since it's opening in 2010, among the

Omnom Chocolate is an Icelandic craft chocolate company based in Reykjavík. We produce handcrafted chocolate from organic cacao beans sourced ethically and sustainably. We've developed direct relationships to create premium chocolate with fine flavor cacao beans.
Our creative flavors are carefully crafted by meticulous chocolate makers. The cacao beans are roasted, winnowed, ground, and refined into melty-smooth chocolate.
Omnom's process is one of constant exploration, invention, and experimentation. If it doesn't please us, if something isn't absolutely delicious, there's no reason to be doing it. So, we always start with our taste buds and follow our instincts. Our team searches for the finest ingredients in the world and new ways to improve chocolate. This obsession with knowing where our ingredients come from has led us around the corner to dairy farms in the Icelandic countryside and all the way to rainforest cacao farms of Nicaragua.
In only a few short years, we've grown from our 50 sq. m. petrol station space and become an award-winning chocolate maker. Now, with our headquarters in 101 Reykjavík, our chocolate is sent out around Iceland and all over the world.
At the end of the day, our goal is to make chocolate.

Named by National Geographic as one of the 25 Wonders of the World, the Blue Lagoon is a shimmering expanse of warmth, relaxation, and rejuvenation. Its unique geothermal seawater
comes from 2.000 meters within the earth where seawater and freshwater converge in a tectonic realm of porous lava and searing heat. Propelled by extreme pressure, the water ascends to the earth's surface, emerging enriched with silica, algae, and minerals—the elements that endow Blue Lagoon geothermal seawater with its radiant, healing properties.
From its humble beginnings in the shadows of a geothermal power plant, Blue Lagoon has evolved into a world of wonder, now encompassing two hotels, three restaurants, three
geothermal lagoons, a subterranean spa, a renowned line of skin care, a thriving research center, and a wealth of spa and refreshment facilities.
Achieving harmony with the volcanic landscape, the lagoon and its surrounding architecture embody the unification of the man-made and the natural, and adhere to the highest principles of sustainability.
The Blue Lagoon. A wonder of the world. A world of wonder.

For all your Apple needs. We are here.
Once upon a time, 1,100 years ago in fact, Nordic settlers began arriving in Iceland. They brought with them the skills and knowledge for producing skyr. As time passed, the know-how and recipe for this nutritious food slowly faded out elsewhere in the Nordic region. Luckily, the Icelandic skyr-making tradition continued.
For centuries, Icelandic skyr formed a cornerstone of the national diet, helping to keep people strong in living conditions that were often harsh. On family farms countrywide, it was the women who nurtured this dairy and passing on both the recipe and the original Icelandic skyr cultures from mother to daughter.
Ísey skyr builds on this remarkable legacy. It was some of those very same women, the recipients of their mothers' expertise, who, around 90 years ago, taught Icelandic dairy scientists the art of skyr-making. The production process is more high-tech these days, and the quality standards more rigorous. However, the basic recipe and the use of original cultures to ferment the skimmed milk remain the same. Protein rich, fat-free, creamy and delicious – Ísey skyr is as relevant to consumers now as it was all those centuries ago.
This is our secret and you are in on it
You can read more about Ísey skyr on our website.

Ferry Baldur – the gate to the West fjords
and VikingSushi Adventure – Bird & Nature watching Tour for everyone all year around
The "VikingSushi Adventure" is the right boat tour for travelers who are adventurous and want to experience something new – close up to the nature seafood simply doesn't come fresher than this! The archipelago area of the Breidafjordur Bay always surprises her visitors during winter or summer with spectacular sights. Where else you get to try delicious fresh scallops and sea urchin roe straight from the ocean served with soy sauce, wasabi and ginger.
This old volcanic area, characterized by the typical basalt formations of the islands, is the home of countless birds. Here you will also find the strongest currents in Iceland. The VikingSushi Tour takes roughly two hours and our captain is also the tour guide.
The VikingSushi Tour is a true adventure through incredible nature which should not be missed by any traveler to West Iceland.
Birds, possible to spot:
-puffins (from the middle of April until the middle of August)
-eider ducks
-shags
-kittiwakes
-fulmars
-white-tailed eagle
The car ferry Baldur is the bridge to the West fjords via the island Flatey
Ferry Baldur crosses Breidafjordur Bay daily from Stykkisholmur on the Snæfellsnes peninsula to Brjanslaekur in the north. A ferry ride considerably shortens the route between the south and mid-west of the country and the West Fjords region. It also gives you the opportunity to experience a floating restaurant.
Take a stopover at the charming island Flatey when you are crossing the bay or go to a day tour to Flatey and back to Stykkishólmur. At Flatey are no cars allowed and between the houses of the 18th century you get the feeling of a journey back in time.

Center for Immigration Studies exposes itself in public
Posted by Elena del Valle on March 8, 2007
By Patrick Osio, Jr.
Editor, HispanicVista and columnist, San Diego Metropolitan Magazine
Patrick Osio, Jr.
Mark Krikorian, Executive Director of Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), at what was dubbed a "think tank" conference on January 26th to review immigration issues promoted in part by San Diego University's Trans-Border Institute (TBI), called on the Department of Homeland Security to use eminent domain to purchase from half-mile to a mile of land along the US-Mexico border, and demolish the buildings to create a "border security zone" to "insulate ourselves" from Mexico.
Krikorian's bizarre ideas would demolish San Ysidro, and Otay Mesa, in San Diego. Do away with much of Calexico in Imperial Valley, California; Nogales, Arizona, El Paso, Laredo, Brownsville and numerous smaller border towns in Texas.
Krikorian was not finished. Referring to the trans-border economy as "a parasitic phenomenon," he rejects that cities across the border from each other form integrated economies. Thus, he suggests that all border crossing cards allowing visits of up to 72 hours within a 25 mile zone from the border issued to Mexican border residents who go through a screening process, as has been done for decades, be canceled. In short, no Mexican should be able to cross legally into the US.
Krikorian's 'parasitic' border crossers contribute to the San Diego economy over $3-billion in annual retail sales and accompanying sales-taxes of over $235-million, not counting business to business sales estimated at over $9-billion annually. Similarly border cities across Arizona and Texas have integrated economies in varying degrees. El Paso and Ciudad Juarez have for decades set the benchmark for border cities cooperation and integration. Laredo, Texas handles over $20-billion in annual exports to Mexico.
The best thing that can be said about the fanatical ideas presented by Krikorian is that it put an end to the deceitful masquerade perpetrated by the Center for Immigration Studies.
According to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), CIS was founded in 1985 "as a think tank to support the more activist work of the anti-immigrant Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR)." CIS describes itself as "independent" and "nonpartisan," but its studies, reports, and media releases consistently support its restrictionist agenda…"
CIS is one of several anti-immigration groups exposed in a Wall Street Journal article ("Borderline Republicans" June 14, 2004), "In fact, CIS, FAIR, NumbersUSA, Project-USA and more than a half-dozen similar groups that Republicans have become disturbingly comfy with, were founded or funded (or both) by John Tanton, a retired doctor in Michigan. In addition to trying to stop immigration to the U.S., appropriate population-control measures for Dr. Tanton and his network include promoting China's one-child policy, sterilizing Third World women and wider use of RU-486."
The mastermind of the groups, John Tanton, was exposed by the Intelligence Report published by the SPCL, "The Puppeteer," (June 12, 2002) written by Rick Swartz. In an interview with SPLC, Swartz said: "The (Tanton) blueprint envisaged creating a whole array of organizations that serve the overall ideological and political battle plan to halt immigration. …They camouflage the links between these organizations, their true origins, so that they appear to have arisen spontaneously. But in fact they have the same creator, Tanton."
Swartz also observed, "Another tactic of Tanton's is to turn ethnic groups on each other, to create conflict between different ethnic and racial groups. One of his big arguments has always been that immigration hurts blacks. FAIR has bought radio advertising on black radio stations to push that vision… basically saying, "You know why you don't have a job? Because some undocumented Mexican came in and stole yours from you."" Swartz added, "…it's the oldest trick in the book. It's called making those who don't have a lot but are making progress feel threatened by those coming after them." And, "The Tanton vision… is of an apartheid United States beset by racial violence, and whites not going quietly into the night as their numbers are overwhelmed by the demographics of immigration."
There is no question that academic institutions have the right, indeed the obligation, to hold and attend conferences on the critical issue. But they also has the responsibility to inform its audiences beforehand not as David Shirk, Trans-Border Institute director, who participated and his organization helped promote, commented afterwards, "Serious scholars have to take the Mr. Krikorians of the world seriously; they represent a long tradition of nativism in this country."
Beyond identifying Mr. Krikorian as a nativist, his organization's background and connection to other extremists groups must also be made public at such forums. And, spouting such ridiculous ideas, how can serious scholars and people of good will take Krikorian's ideas seriously?
Patrick Osio is the editor for HispanicVista.com, an Internet public interest weekly publication. Osio also writes a monthly column, The Connection, for the San Diego Metropolitan Magazine. He has garnered five awards from the SD Society of Professional Journalists. For over 15 years, he was a consultant to the private and public sector on trans-border business and economic affairs. He is a frequent lecturer on U.S.-Mexico issues and a frequent guest on radio talk shows.

I believe that this would be a good idea to create a mile wide border, assuming that those of whose homes will be destroyed are given living facilities. It is wrong to just destroy their homes and leave them stranded.
dennis shapiro says:
I think that these ignoranty nazi b**tards should be deported to Germany or Russia and see how they like it. TThey are no better than the fascists of the 1930's. I am totally disgusted with them and hope they get overwhelmed by numeric victory of other racial groups. After all the whites have caused more grief in this world than any other race.
The Center for Immigration Studies sounds like the KKK of the 21st Century and Mar-K K-ri-K-orian is their fanatical grand wizard. Please tell me that rational political parties do not miss his thinly veiled racist attitudes. Please tell me that something more than this article is being done to "expose" this man and his disgusting organization for what it truly is.
Teo Buneo says:
Sandy, you are delusional if you think that"CIS appears to be genuinely pro-immigrant — just concerned that illegals are jeopardizing opportunities for legal immigrants and other citizens, as well as consuming a disproportionate amount of welfare resources". These people run an anti-immigrant hate group drumming up support for attacks on people from other countries of the world. They are hiding their racism behind the screen that lead you to believe the nonsense quoted from you above. And that is some of the more benign of the monstrous hate filled nonsense these people peddle. I copied this paragraph from an investigative article on the Center for Immigration Studies, I recommend you research the groups mentioned. They are all about hate and right wing nutterey. Please don't take my word for it, goggle all the groups and people mentioned in the following graph.
"In fact, CIS, FAIR, NumbersUSA, Project-USA and more than a half-dozen similar groups that Republicans have become disturbingly comfy with, were founded or funded (or both) by John Tanton, a retired doctor in Michigan. In addition to trying to stop immigration to the U.S., appropriate population-control measures for Dr. Tanton and his network include promoting China's one-child policy, sterilizing Third World women and wider use of RU-486."
Your research will reverse your original ideas about the hate group CIS.
warmest regards, Ted B
Despite their wacko border proposal, CIS is right that something effective needs to be done to reduce the flood of illegals (12 million & counting) coming from Mexico. CIS appears to be genuinely pro-immigrant — just concerned that illegals are jeopardizing opportunities for legal immigrants and other citizens, as well as consuming a disproportionate amount of welfare resources. Hard to understand why so many in the Hispanic media (who presumably are law-abiding citizens or legal immigrants) don't distinguish between legal & illegal immigration.
Rique Riquardo says:
Immigration, like overseas outsourcing and "guest worker" programs, is simply a means of expanding the U.S. labor supply for the purpose of lowering worker wages. Hispanic workers in the U.S.A. suffer as much economic injury from these programs as any other ethnic group and should join with other workers in seeking lower levels of legal immigration as well as an end to illegal immigration and all "guest worker" (both high-tech and low-tech) programs.
But, the immigration question should also be considered from the perspective of its effect upon global warming and other environmental problems. Most of those, who come into the U.S.A. by crossing the southern border on foot, come from countries where the per capita production of carbon dioxide is less than 30 pounds per day, but when they enter the U.S.A., they come into a country where the per capita production of carbon dioxide is more than 120 pounds per day. The half million or so (conservatively estimated) immigrants who enter the US on foot set a high priority on obtaining a motor vehicle – which usually turns out to be an older vehicle that offers only the poorest fuel economy.
And there are other problems that arise as a consequence of immigration. Excess immigration burdens the budgets of our schools not only by increasing the student population but also by increasing the percentage of children who come into the education system with language difficulties when those students come from homes where English is not the primary language. Immigration also increases demand for shelter in American communities and therefore raises the price of rent in many areas. Illegal immigrants usually lack any health insurance and must seek emergency health care in hospital emergency rooms, a fact that increases the cost of hospital care for everyone when the illegal immigrant skips out on the bill.
As to the positions attributed to Dr. Tanton with regard to population controls: The true cause of global warming as well as shortages of fuel, food and other resources, is excess population. Calling each other nazis will not delay the day when we must finally do something to halt population growth that will ultimately lead to mass starvation and violent revolutions all over the world. China acted responsibly when they instituted the "one child" program. The high proportion of Spanish-speaking immigrants in the U.S.A. is a consequence of Latin America's failure to act with equal responsibility on the same issue.
Rique, if you are extremely worried about having too many children, get a vasectomy and end your days of worrying about getting your partner pregnant. But you see what Republicans are doing, trying to shut down family planning by defunding Planned Parenthood and riders telling Washington DC government what they can NOT spend their own tax dollars on. Damn criminal Rethugs think they control the government and in order to stop President Obama having a second term are working hard to send the country into the depression that the president saved from when he took over from the criminal conspiracy known as Bush/Cheney administration. The Rethug boys that almost destroyed America! And we should trust the arrogant Rethugs?
Sabio says:
Any country has the right to enforce its borders. Without effective borders, there is no real sovereignty, and those who enter another country are allowed to determine immigration policy if the host country doesn't enforce its own laws. Mexico is much harder on illegal immigrants than the U.S., but I don't hear anyone calling Mexico "racist." If the U.S. continues on its present path, we will have a total population of at least 600,000,000, and possibly a billion or more, by 2100. That won't be a very pleasant country for anyone to live in, regardless of their ethnic background.

Welcome to Marwen:
This is a very unusual movie, one where theatre audience members snickered and fidgeted because they didn't really know what to expect. A true story, based on the life of artist Mark Hogencamp, it profiles his attempt to return to sanity and some degree of a normal life after a beating so severe by Neo-Nazis in 2000, that he had to be revived by paramedics, and his face was so disfigured from the beating that his own mother did not recognize him. Every memory prior to the event was beaten out of Hogencamp, and after a year of rehabilitative therapy, his money ran out and he could not continue. In order to escape the trauma of the event, and the severe PTSD that followed, Hogencamp created a miniature world based on a WWII Belgian town that he called Marwen, and populated it with dolls, mostly based on people in his life, who were fighting WWII in a very real way inside his mind. No longer able to draw or illustrate, he used his camera and his dolls to increase his eye-hand coordination, and to attempt some semblance of recovery. A most interesting trip inside the mind of a man crippled mentally, the film stars Steve Carrell and Leslie Mann, and was directed by Robert Zemekis. Extremely odd, but worth sticking with just to see what happens. 18 years later, the real Mark Hogencamp still works with Marwen and with his camera. Rated 14A.
A Dog's Way Home:
This family adventure tale features a puppy voiced by Bryce Dallas Howard as the main character, a dog born under a condemned building, sharing its early life with families of cats as well as its doggy mother. Played by real life shelter dogs at various ages, Bella faces warmth and love from her adoptive human family, and she faces the trials of making her way back home when she is temporarily sent to a New Mexico family, while her owner makes new living arrangements because she was part-pit bull, a species not allowed in the city. Set in Colorado and New Mexico, but filmed in British Columbia, in and around Hope, in the Fraser Valley, and in the Ladner area, it was directed by Charles Martin Smith (American Graffiti, Never Cry Wolf). Bella is fine with her temporary family, but she feels she must go home, not realizing that it's a 700 km journey, which takes her more than two years to accomplish ... and after all that, she is right back in the grips of the same animal control people that sent her on the run in the first place. A little hokey, but well-positioned as a family film, the only thing to watch for would be the sensitivity of some very young children who may find the whole dog-in-distress story, along with being separated from home and family, a little too intense. Ashley Judd, Wes Studi, and James Edward Olmos also star. Rated PG.
Holmes & Watson:
Writer Etan Cohen (not to be confused with the Coen Brothers of Fargo fame) who scripted Tropic Thunder and Men in Black 3 has taken the Sherlock Holmes story into the realm of comedy, with Will Ferrell as the detective, and John C. Reilly as Watson. Rather than basing this on an actual Holmes book or story, it is simply an exaggerated Saturday Night Live sketch from 1975 in which Ferrell played Holmes. Ralph Fiennes plays Moriarity. It has been viewed by most reviewers and critics as one of the worst films of the past year, and I would have no trouble agreeing with that position. The basic premise is so thin, with no real story to hang it on, which leaves us largely watching Will Ferrell mug, and seeing John C. Reilly as little more than an add-on. Rated 14A.
The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina,
Season 2:
After a quick start that surprised almost everyone, this complete reboot of Sabrina the Teenage Witch is back with a continuation of the storylines that shocked and amazed, as the dark subject matter, rife with witches and warlocks, offered up complex tales and excellent special effects. Shot in the spookier parts of the Lower Mainland of BC, Kiernan returns as Sabrina Spellman, who has chosen to study both the dark arts, and being a regular teen. Excellent series, rated 14A.
Suzzanna: Buried Alive:
This Netflix original from Asia tells the story of Suzzanna and her husband Satia, married for seven years, but not blessed with children. When he has to take an emergency international business trip, she is left alone, unaware that some of his vengeful employees have decided to ransack the home thinking that it was empty. Suzzanna is found there, they murder her, and bury her in the backyard. The next morning, Suzzanna is going about her usual business as though nothing has happened. Billed as a comedy-horror-drama, it is a strange movie indeed! Rated 14A.
Beautiful Boy (2018):
Steve Carrell plays real life husband and dad David Sheff, who, along with his son Nic (Timothee Chalamet) both chronicled their mutual fight over Nic's drug addiction with a series of memoirs that outline the predictable string of addiction, recovery, relapse, and self-hate that is the lot of many young addicts. Chalamet lost 25 pounds prior to the production starting, so that he would look like the bottomed-out heroin addict in the movie's opening scenes. Maura Tierney co-stars. Rated 14A.
New on AMAZON PRIME
Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot (2018):
Based on actual events, Joaquin Phoenix stars as John Callahan, a young man severely injured in a car accident in which he was the impaired driver. His alcoholism led him to that place, where he emerged a quadriplegic, and it appeared that his life was pretty much over. While in rehab, he found that he had an ability to draw editorial cartoons, and with the help of his girlfriend (Rooney Mara) and his sponsor (Jonah Hill), he learns that perhaps there is a life worth living after all. Set and shot in Portland, OR, home of the real-life John Callahan. Rated 14A.

By William F. Lynch S.J.
this can be a e-book approximately wish. half 1 is a compact yet unavoidably constrained try and describe the particular constitution and urban types of desire and hopelessness; half 2 is an exploration of a psychology of desire, the start of an research of what psychic types and dynamisms flow so much towards desire and opposed to hopelessness; and half three is the same attempt to indicate the outlines of a metaphysics of hope.
Gesturing is such an quintessential but subconscious a part of communique that we're usually oblivious to it. but when you discover somebody in dialog, you are going to see his or her palms, fingers, and fingers in a few kind of spontaneous movement. Why? David McNeill, a pioneer within the ongoing learn of the connection among gesture and language, set approximately answering this question over twenty-five years in the past.
This philosophical paintings outlines a process of ethics established no longer simply on an individual's activities, but in addition the explanations that encourage his selected activities. tasks are modes of responsibilities that folks own inside their respective households and groups. whereas a few people could realize and settle for their own tasks, different individuals will refuse any type of responsibility.
