These Are Some of The Best Cities To Live In

A great city is a like a great friend: it has a lot to offer and doesn’t ask for much in return. It is there when you feel down and need a place to lift your spirits, it is there when you are hungry and need a nice, quiet place to have a hot meal and it is there when you need to inspired and amazed so that you can, once again, have a sense of wonder in your life. While there are thousands of cities all around the globe, only a handful of these cities are the friend that most people want and everyone needs.

What makes a city great is different for different people. While some factors remain constant, there are a lot things that vary from person to person. For one, it may have to do with the architecture, for someone else, the quality of the restaurants may be a deciding factor. Keeping that in view, we have compiled a list of cities that are a great place to live for most of the people. If you want to find out whether your hometown has made the list or not or whether the city that you have always dreamt about spending the rest of your life is in the list then all you need to do is to read on.

Munich, Germany

If tall buildings and gigantic skyline is not your style, then Munich is the place for you. There are very few high rises, so you can enjoy the view of the sky (be it day or night) as much as you want. Despite being a huge city, Munich has the homey feeling that one would expect from a small town. With an excellent public transport system, sightseeing in this city is easy. What’s more is the annual event known as Oktoberfest which is something that everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime.

Zurich, Switzerland

If you want to spend your life near water, then Zurich won’t disappoint you. With two rivers running through it and the Zurich Lake, you can always spend some peaceful time near the water. In addition to this, Zurich also has numerous museums and art galleries so you will always have to do something on a Friday evening. With a low crime rate, great security and good schools, this city is one of the best place to live in on the planet. One thing that you should be aware of is that this city is on the expensive side of the line.

Sydney, Australia

Australia’s largest city has a lot to offer to its inhabitants. With an exquisite beach and breathtaking architecture, this city is just beautiful. Just like Zurich, there is nothing cheap about it but the extra money spent here is definitely worth it. If you like green, open spaces, then Sydney is the city for you. That’s not all: the weather in this part of the world is always pleasant so you won’t have to postpone your adventurous plans ever.

And as one would imagine, the ships that offer their services here provide the most phenomenal way of moving through the city while taking in all its wonderful architecture.

The 5 Must-See Restaurants Around The World

Travelling is always a lot of fun if one has the right people who tag along and if one visits the right places. While it is always great to embrace the nature, while travelling, by camping outside and lying under the starry sky, sometimes one just wants to experience the luxury that top class restaurants offer. But while a restaurant may be really great in its services and the food served there may be delicious, there needs to be something else to make it really stand out from the rest of the cloud. Sometimes, that thing is the restaurant’s location, and at others, it’s some special offering by an establishment.

If you consider yourself a gourmet and a bit of an adventurer then you need to try out some of the restaurants that are just out of this world. We have compiled a list of 5 restaurants that you need to try out at least once in your life. So let’s take a look.

Ithaa Undersea Restaurant

If you want to go to a restaurant that has a breathtaking view, then Ithaa Undersea Restaurant is hard to beat. As the name implies, it is located under the sea and has a panoramic view of the sea life for the diners that are lucky enough to dine there. It opened in 2005 and since then has become the favorite of those who want to try something unique.

Not only that, there is also a bungee jumping platform located on the premises of the restaurant.

LG’s G5 Is A Technological Wonder To Behold

Thanks to human ingenuity, the everyday gadgets that we use have advanced by leaps and bound since their inception just a few decades ago. The price of a computer whose performance is acceptable for a large section of population has come down dramatically. While it wouldn’t be wrong to say that the performance of desktops and laptops has plateaued, there are still some crazy innovation and advancement going on in the mobile space.
This year at Mobile World Congress, in full swing right now, LG has upped the mobile game to a whole new level. The mobiles from almost every major manufacturer, including LG, were nothing more than iterative improvements on the previous year models. But this time around, LG has decided to change that and it has definitely managed that with the G5.

Everything is about change

The predecessors of G5 – the G4 and G3 – were quite a success story for the company. But instead of keeping the same old design, LG decided to not only change the design but also change the customer’s perceptions about what makes a really good mobile. Enter G5: a mobile handset that is nothing like anything that we have seen before.

The Design

LG has ditched the old design language in the favor of a new, unibody, metal design that is quite attractive. With G5, LG has decided to take a step back from the ever increasing size of the screens on our mobile devices and have decided to stick with a 5.3 inch IPS LCD panel. The reduction in the screen size results in a more comfortable size and ergonomics and makes for a handset that is easy to use even with a single hand.

In addition to the new design, LG has decided to go with a two camera setup on the back of the phone. While there are two modules on the back – an 8MP and a 16 MP shooter -LG isn’t going for any gimmicks this time around. In fact, the two camera modules provide different field of view with the 8MP sensor having a mindblowing 135 degree camera angle. LG has also moved the volume rocker from the back to the side – a much more normal placement.

The Internals

The G5 is a very powerful beast. LG has opted for Snapdragon 820 – a quad core CPU that can deliver high end performance. The powerful CPU is coupled with 4GB of RAM, more than enough for all the multitasking needs out there. There is LTE onboard so blazing internet speeds are guaranteed. Connectivity is through Wifi, Bluetooth and NFC.

LG G5 comes with a USB Type C connector. What that means is that charging the mobile or copying something to it with be quite fast. There is 32GB of storage onboard and the battery comes in at 2800mAh.

LG G5’s Friends

The thing that makes this mobile phone stand out from the rest is the removable slot at the bottom of the set. This removable slot not only hosts the battery – which makes the battery user replaceable – but this slot can be used for attaching multiple accessories to G5 which LG has dubbed as Friends.

One of the Friends of G5 is an external camera grip. It has a dedicated camera button and a button to record video. This accessory also has a scroll wheel for zooming. Not only that, this particular Friend can boost the battery of the handset by almost 1200 mAh. So you can shoot all the photos and videos that you want without having to worry about your battery life.

Another accessory that LG is releasing with the G5 is a B&O’s high quality DAC and amp. Simply put, when you plug it into your mobile, the G5 can deliver high quality sound. If you are an audiophile then this is just something that you can’t live without.

Here’s What To Expect From Samsung Galaxy S7

The Mobile World Conference is just around the corner and is slated to start from 22nd of February and continue till the 25th. This means that all the tech mammoths like Samsung and LG etc. are gearing up to unveil their latest and greatest to the world in Barcelona. What’s more interesting is that Samsung has sent out the invites for its Galaxy S7 event which is the flagship model from this company. Samsung is holding an entire event for the unveiling of its new model a day before Mobile World Conference actually starts but this is exactly how it has happened in the previous few years.

There is a lot of excitement about this particular model – it is one of the bestsellers of the company – and people just want to get their hands of the best that Samsung has to offer. It is also a chance for Samsung to show their technological prowess when it comes to mobile phones. As Samsung Galaxy S7 will go toe to toe with LG G5 and whatever model Apple has in store for this year, so there is a lot that Samsung has to do right to make sure that the customers are eager to get themselves a Galaxy S7.

When is the unveiling happening?

Samsung has planned the Galaxy S7 for almost three from now for 21st of February – a day before the Mobile World Conference officially starts. The event will be similar to the Unpacking event of Galaxy S6, the predecessor of the new flagship. Samsung will discuss, in detail, the features that make the S7 stand out from the competition along with pricing and availability for different and different locations all around the world.

What the Galaxy S7 has to live up to?

Galaxy S6 and S6 edge were the flagship models of last year from Samsung and they were quite impressive. Both these sets had an octa core CPU (Exynos 7420) which enabled excellent responsiveness and excellent performance without the slightest trace of lagging. Along with that incredible CPU was 3 GB of RAM for all one’s multitasking need. Both Galaxy S6 and S6 edge had a 16 MegaPixel shooter which was capable of taking some really beautiful photos no matter the lighting conditions. The best thing about these sets was perhaps their display – a 5.1 inch screen adorned the front of the phones with a whooping 1440×2560 resolution which resulted in an approximated 577 ppi pixel density. This resolution and pixel density is among the highest that is available in the top end mobile phones of today.

All the above goodness was packed in a sleek design and a metal unibody which was praised by the reviewers and the customers alike. The design of these handsets alone set them apart from all the previous models in the Galaxy line.

What will Samsung Galaxy S7 be like?

With Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 edge Samsung was able to revive a faltering handset line so it is safe to assume that the company won’t be tinkering too much with that formula. In fact, the rumor mill suggests that the S7 will be quite close to S6 when it comes to features like body design and screen size and resolution (The 5.1 inch screen size is quite right if not perfect and 1440×2560 is nothing to sneeze at).

The Galaxy S7 will feature an updated processor and is said to have 4 GB of RAM. The camera module is slated to stay 16 MegaPixel but Samsung may work to increase the low light and overall performance of the camera.
Samsung Galaxy S7 is said to have a fingerprint sensor and will come with and expandable card slot. The battery size remains a mystery however. The other things on the list are USB Type-C port and greatly improved audio performance. Samsung Galaxy S7 will run Android Marshmallow out of the box with Samsung’s customizations.

US Power Grid Being Threatened By Extreme Weather

Coast Electric Power Association felt the full brunt of a hurricane when Katrina landed on the coast of Mississippi. Many homes and business were left reeling in darkness as the hurricane destroyed the substations. These have been since repaired but are not any safer than before the storm hit.

When Hurricane Irene hit the Northeast in 2011, it marked the first time in the history of Consolidated Edison (Con Ed) that more than 200,000 customers lost power due to a storm. Superstorm Sandy struck just 14 months later, quickly followed by a devastating Northeaster, leaving 1.1 million customers literally groping around in the dark.

An Associated Press analysis of industry data found that these storms are a growing threat and the leading cause of outages in the nation’s electric grid. Over the past decade, the power outages related to bad weather have increased, meaning power companies have to find a way to get to grips with this problem.

“It was clear to us that weather patterns were changing fundamentally. Severe weather events were becoming more frequent and devastating,” Allan Drury, a Con Ed spokesman, said in an email.

“I think it is an open question as to whether utilities are investing enough in the infrastructure needed to harden the system against storms, and on simple but effective things like tree trimming,” said Roshanak Nateghi who is the author of a report in the journal Risk Analysis.
In May, the report told of the fact that the U.S. power grid is increasingly blacking out when hit with severe weather, and lags behind other developed nations in terms of reliability.

Electric companies are looking to upgrade their systems and harden them to the effects of the storms that come rolling through. This is, however, a very expensive undertaking that the smaller cooperatives cannot handle without some federal assistance. Con Ed, a large investor owned company, has dished out $1 billion to harden its system and Drury says that the utility has been able to afford all the upgrades that it wants.

Despite the upgrades being costly, the outages also take out a large financial chunk out of the pie. According to a 2013 report by the White House, power outages related to weather take out between $18 billion to $33 billion from the nation’s economy.

Electric companies, therefore, try as much as possible to upgrade their systems to safeguard them from the weather. The Federal Emergency Management Agency gives utility companies funds to facilitate in their rebuilding process after catastrophes.

Coast Electric Power Association received about $100 million in Federal Emergency Management Agency public assistance grants, but the money allowed it only to repair the flooded substations to pre-storm conditions.

FEMA offered more funds that would have been used to raise the flooded substations but the time it would take to make analyses of everything involved would have taken too much time before the construction itself took place.

This would have left over 6,500 accounts – spread over the urban Mississippi areas in three counties as well as other rural ones further inland – in darkness. Once the work got underway upon receipt of the funds, the company could not change the stipulations under which to use them and, therefore, the stations returned to the same way they had been before the storm struck.

The recent blizzard that has covered the East Coast of the United States in a blanket of white has led to power outages in many areas as well. Emergency services are still battling to reach affected people whereas the utility companies are finding ways to safeguard their systems from the wrath of nature.

Drought also contributes to power outages as witnessed in California. Last year, regulators ordered the state’s investor-owned utilities to set priorities for inspecting and removing dead and sick trees near their power lines, warning that climate change has facilitated and exacerbated numerous wildfires that have damaged and threatened their facilities. The utilities could, however, ask for funding to carry this out.

California State Spending Billions on Repairs Due to Sinking Land

The land in the state of California is sinking in places in the Central Valley. A canal that delivers vital water supplies from Northern California to Southern California is sinking in places and so are stretches of a riverbed undergoing historic restoration. Well casings on farms are also left standing as the ground falls below them.

The sinking of the land, known as subsidence, has been attributed to the extended use of groundwater in this drought that has persisted for four years now. This increased use of the groundwater has caused the land to sink in many different places causing damage to infrastructure over a wide expanse of California land.

Experts say that this slow land subsidence is costing the state expensively as regards repairs to infrastructure and the future appears bleak because they do not envisage the subsidence coming to a halt anytime soon.

“It’s shocking how a huge area is affected, but how little you can tell with your eye,” said James Borchers, a hydro-geologist, who studies subsidence. He said that there is need to study the area that is prone to this land sinking phenomenon so as to detect and address it before key pieces of infrastructure like bridges and pipelines can be affected.

Land subsidence comes about when the water is drawn out of the aquifers beneath the surface. When depleted, the ground above the aquifers sags so as to fill up the empty space beneath. This manifests as the land on the surface sinking. Roads develop cracks as the ground beneath the tarmac falls in whereas the other built infrastructure loses its structural integrity.

The Central Valley in California is the most agriculturally productive region in the United States. It has been hit by a record four year long drought that has led majority of the farmers to rely heavily on groundwater for irrigation of their crops. In the wet seasons, only 40 percent of the groundwater is used for irrigation whereas 65 per cent is used in the dry years.

With more of the nearer aquifers being utilized, deeper wells were sought out by the farmers – some as far down as 3000 feet – so as to supply their farms with water. Thousands of well casings have been destroyed and canal linings have buckled due to the decades of over pumping. The sides of irrigation canals have been lifted in irrigation districts in low spots so that the water can still flow at an acceptable level under the influence of the gravitational force.

A consequence of this is the fact that one bridge now stands below the waterline. Rebuilding another canal would cost 4.5 million dollars whereas repairs to the existing one, according to general manager of the Central California Irrigation District in Los Banos, Chris White, would amount to over $2.5 million.

For decades, the phenomenon of the land sinking has been rife in California and it has been shown that it is accelerating. Research by personnel at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory showed that land near Coracon sank 13 inches last year. There are parts of the massive California Aqueduct that also sunk nearly 13 inches.

According to Ted Thomas, a spokesman for the state’s Department of Water Resources, repairs have been made on the aqueduct over the past forty years and the bill has amounted to over $40 million.

Sinking land has stopped work on part of a historic project to return water flows to an irrigation-depleted section of the San Joaquin River. Before construction of a passageway for fish can begin, officials need to assess how fast the land will sink in the future, said Alicia Forsythe of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation.

The Most Brilliant Things That Came Out Of CES

Consumer Electronics Show (CES) wrapped up last week and left us with a ton of amazing and extraordinary bits and pieces of technology. While there were a ton of things showcased at this staggering gathering of tech companies – both tech mammoths and new startups – there were a few things that stood out from the rest. As CES is place where anyone can show up so the diversity of the technology and the electronics and gadgets is just mind blowing. Compiled below is a short list of the things that were really something else. So let’s take a look and see what we have to look forward to in this year.

LG 4K OLED TV

This thing is just stunning. The model introduced by LG is G6 and it is just phenomenal in every aspect. The OLED technology means that the blacks are great and so is the contrast. And LG has done its best to leave no stone unturned when it comes to this model: things like luminance, audio quality and color gamut are in a class of their own. This model also has the “Ultra HD Premium” by the UHD Alliance. Availability and pricing are still a little bit away.

Razer Blade Stealth and Razer Core

Razer is known for its extreme gaming machines but the trouble with such machines is that they are bulky and very power hungry. Razer has changed that with its Razer Blade Stealth which is an ultrabook which excellent specs. But that’s just half the story; Razer Core is what completes this arrangement and is responsible for making even the most resource hungry games run on Razer Blade Stealth.

Here’s how it works: the Razer Core can fit a full desktop class GPU inside it and can connect to the ultrabook via Thunderbolt 3 transforming it into a powerful gaming machine. That’s not all: other peripherals can also be connected to Razer Core for extending the capabilities of the whole setup.

Razer Blade Stealth starts at $999.

Technics EAH T-700

If you are an audiophile, then it doesn’t get better than this: Technics EAH T-700 will provide you with an audio experience that you just won’t forget. With crisp sound quality that you will be hard pressed to find anywhere else these headphones are the really “premium”. All this sound quality comes with a matching price: Technics EAH T-700 will retail for $1200. Yes, that much!

HTC VIVE PRE

Virtual Reality and HTC is an odd one; the tech company is known for its mobiles. But this time it has managed to do something which is quite amazing: it’s foray in Virtual Reality is a success and that is why it has been able to outshine the Oculus Rift, at least for now.

VIVE Pre has been built in collaboration with Valve and that much is quite evident. The Pre has two controllers that can be used to interact with things in VR. Not only that, VIVE Pre can also show the actual surroundings of the wearer in Virtual Reality. This product is fascinating to say the least and it will be interesting to see what it shapes into.

Chevy Bolt

Chevy Bolt is perhaps the best thing that came out of CES 2016. And why’s that? Because it signals the start of an era when Electric Vehicles go mainstream. The best thing about the Chevy Bolt is its price which will increase its appeal to the masses. In addition to that, it is everything that you would expect from a car: it is a delight to handle and runs as smoothly as imaginable. Chevy Bolt is really the future of the Electric Vehicles.

The Cities That You Must Visit At Least Once

The human race began its journey as hunter-gatherers – wanderers who would move from place to place in search for the hunt and other necessities of primal life. This was absolutely necessary for survival but perhaps this is the reason that travelling or wandering became a part of of DNA; no matter how much further we moved from nature, there always remained a spark, deep within our soul, that impelled us to travel and once more gawk at the amazing wonders of the nature as our ancestors had done for so many years. But something happened over time: while our affinity for nature didn’t vanish, we found a new love for the cities: places we erected and embellished from our own hands. They became the places to visit and witness in all their glory.

If you love to travel and the places you want to visit some of the most breathtaking cities on the planet then you have come to the right place. We have compiled a list, mentioned below, that everyone should at least visit once in their lifetime. So, without further ado, let’s take a look at that list so you can get to packing your bags.

Venice, Italy

What better place to start than the city that’s built on water? The canals are beautiful and the buildings and the architecture mesmerizing. It does look something out of a fairy tale and the experience that you will have here will be unique – something that you can’t have on any other place in the world. So make sure that you have someone to share it with.

Rome, Italy

This is another city in Italy that you just need to visit. Its thousands of years of history has made it a masterpiece, a work of art. Not only that, there are a lot of places to be visited. And if you are an admirer of the art, then there is perhaps not a better place on Earth than this city.

Istanbul, Turkey

Istanbul is the place where east embraces west. Istanbul draws from its 2500 year old history and presents a mosaic of old and new to those who dare visit such a beautiful city. The city has many attractions but it won’t be wrong to say that it most famous for the delicious and enticing foods and beverages that can be found on every corner of its magnificent bazaars. It is a city that just needs to be visited.

Cape Town, South Africa

No list would be complete without Cape Town. This beautiful city is flanked by a sea and beaches on one side and a awe-inspiring mountain range on the other. The architecture mostly new and a few remnants of the old, will make your trip a memorable one.

London, UK

There is no city like UK; the weather always traitorous, you never know when you will have an experience that you will remember forever. The architecture of the city is intriguing and there are numerous places where you can spend a joyous afternoon.

San Francisco, California

There is no city like San Francisco. There are numerous sites to see and the city is just brimming with amazing people and amazing scenes. If you go to San Francisco, then there are a couple of things that you shouldn’t miss: a ferry ride to Alcatraz, a cable car ride and of course sight seeing the Golden Gate Bridge.

Paris, France

The city of love. What is there to not love about this great city? The food is mouth-wateringly delicious, the streets beautiful, and the culture enticing. There is of course the Eiffel Tower that you must see but that’s not all: there’s also the Notre-Dame Cathedral and the River Seine – things that will make you fall in love with this city.

A Dash of Motivation For Your New Year Resolutions

The one thing that all humans have in common, no matter where they live or what they do, is that there are some habits that they would like to change; they all to be a better man than they were yesterday.
