It is no secret that Nintendo is one of the most prominent figures in the gaming industry. One of the major reasons for such popularity is the range of devices over the years, because of which, people of different age groups have used different generations of Nintendo’s gaming consoles.
Two of those generations are Nintendo Wii and Nintendo GameCube.
Nintendo Wii vs Nintendo GameCube

What is Nintendo Wii?
Nintendo Wii is a gaming console developed by the Japanese company Nintendo and it was released in 2006. Nintendo Wii is the successor to Nintendo GameCube.
At the time of its launch, Nintendo Wii became extremely popular and the initial stock was sold out in a very short time. Nintendo Wii is by far the company’s best-selling home gaming console with over a whopping 100 million sales.
Nintendo Wii was the company’s first gaming console to support direct internet connectivity with Wi-Fi compatibility. As a result, all online games could now also be played on a console made by Nintendo.
Nintendo Wii stood out because of its controller known as The Wii Remote. This controller had exceptional motion sensing features and they were highly optimized, resulting in a much broader and realistic experience.
Many third-party manufacturers tried replicating this new technology but fell short in front of the Nintendo Wii. On top of that, Nintendo Wii offers complete backward compatibility with its predecessor, Nintendo GameCube.
Nintendo officially discontinued Nintendo Wii in 2013 as it was outclassed with the introduction of Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Sony’s latest PlayStation, both of which offered better technical capabilities. Nintendo released the next generation of its gaming console, Nintendo Wii U, in 2012.
What is Nintendo GameCube?
Nintendo GameCube is a gaming console developed by the Japanese company Nintendo and it was released in 2001. Nintendo GameCube is the fourth generation of Nintendo’s gaming consoles and the successor to Nintendo 64.
At the time of its release, it was competing against Microsoft’s Xbox and Sony’s PlayStation 2. By Nintendo’s standards, Nintendo GameCube performed rather poorly in the market and it was characterized as a commercial failure.
The product received mixed comments from reviewers.
Nintendo GameCube critically received positive reviews for its controller, which was prominent in size and well optimized for providing a 3D experience in games. The vibration motor was superior to Nintendo 64’s controller and the new pressure-sensitive buttons were also a plus point.
However, Nintendo GameCube was criticized for its big size and bulky form factor. On top of that, launch titles for the console were not as competitive.
Unlike Nintendo Wii, Nintendo GameCube does not support backward compatibility.
Nintendo GameCube was discontinued in 2007, months after the release of its successor, Nintendo Wii. Nintendo GameCube was simply outclassed by other gaming consoles.
The competition offered support for online gaming and Nintendo GameCube had no true online support. This was one of the major factors because of which most people opted for other consoles as online gaming was becoming the future.
Main Differences Between Nintendo Wii and Nintendo GameCube
- Nintendo Wii is sleeker and more compact as compared to Nintendo GameCube, which is a lot bigger in size.
- Nintendo Wii has much better CPU speed as compared to its predecessor Nintendo GameCube.
- Nintendo Wii offers direct internet connectivity and is Wi-Fi compatible whereas Nintendo GameCube does not offer direct internet services.
- Nintendo Wii offers optical tracking which allows an enhanced gaming experience whereas Nintendo GameCube does not offer this feature.
- Nintendo Wii offers more than double the number of games offered by Nintendo GameCube.
Home gaming consoles are not uncommon. Even with the growing technology, most PCs simply do not offer the experience that gaming consoles do.
While the gaming consoles market today is dominated by Microsoft’s Xbox and Sony’s PlayStation, there were other major players in the market before. Nintendo’s latest offering is Nintendo Switch that was released in 2017.
However, Nintendo’s consoles are now not as popular as they used to be.
Nintendo Wii and Nintendo GameCube are two consecutive models in Nintendo’s lineup of gaming consoles. Nintendo GameCube was not nearly as successful as its predecessors or its competition.
After the commercial failure of Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo did an excellent job with its successor, Nintendo Wii. The successor was more compact and light, offered better titles too, and Wi-Fi compatibility for online gaming.
On top of that, the user’s ability to expand the inbuilt storage was a worthy upgrade. Nintendo’s Wii is by far considered the best gaming console by Nintendo.
As of today, Nintendo’s gaming consoles are not nearly as good as the competition. Nintendo recently announced that it would release the successor to Nintendo Switch shortly, named Nintendo Switch 2.
However, Nintendo’s future seems cloudy in the market of gaming consoles.

The first Amphicoach in Japan has started operations after excelling all the tests required by the Japanese authorities to achieve its operation certificate.
The Amphicoach GS1 2015 was the first certified amphibious vehicle in the world to boast the Euro VI emissions package* with automatic and Semi Automatic gearbox, whilst also meeting the E.U. regulations of commercial vehicles that came into force in November 2014. The GS1 is also the first amphibious passenger vehicle to include an internal chassis.
*For countries outside of the E.U. other engine, gearbox and emission packages are available.
The Amphicoach is able to operate both day and night, whether in fresh or salt water and can accommodate between 46 to 55 passengers, depending on the model variation required. All passenger centric models of the Amphicoach are capable of competing with the best-known manufacturers of passenger coaches and city tour vehicles, with regards to the vehicles performance on the road and passenger expectations.
The major impact of this unique product is that due to extensive research and development and with a completely new design in 2014, the Amphicoach excels in the water with superior stability and maneuverability whilst under sail. The opinion of marine experts involved in the production of previous models, are that the latest models are even more refined.
All of the above has been achieved without any modifications to the Type Approved chassis used to manufacture these vehicle's, which ensures full compliance to all E.U. Legislation for Passenger Vehicles and Passenger Vessels, and also all relevant legislation and type approved chassis for other countries that our vehicles will be supplied to.
The Coaches hulls can be built using 6mm and 12mm Marine Grade Aluminium (Hydro 5083) or with 3mm and 6mm Marine Grade Stainless Steel, which increases stability when afloat.
The uniquely designed watertight-compartmented hull design includes collision bulkheads that help to make the coach relatively unsinkable. In the unlikely event that the hull is breached or swamped, the vehicle will remain completely upright and afloat. Each compartment has its own individual bilge pump system, or can be foam filled at the customers' request, making it the safest solution to amphibious passenger transport in the world.
The vehicles are powered by one main engine that powers the wheels and a single marine jet. This allows the vehicle to travel at highway speed with ease and nine knots and over in the water, depending on engine horsepower.
The Amphicoach can maneuver in the tightest of spaces in the water and can rotate 360 degrees in its own length. Single or twin propeller drive through a marine gearbox's can also be supplied.
The first Amphicoach for Terengganu, Malaysia, will be complete and ready for shipment to its destination this month.
Our 2017 Amphicoach model, based on a DAF chassis, is being built to meet the latest European transport and European maritime regulations, and is almost complete. Initial testing is underway, and the results show that it is the fastest vehicle in the water that we have produced to date. The certification process will commence in the very near future and the results will be uploaded to our website.
We have four Euro 5 vehicles available for sale, two of which are suitable for quick delivery and could be used from the start of the 2017 season. The remaining two can be built to customer requirements within a reasonable time frame. This is an opportunity to purchase an Amphicoach and save 40% on the latest Euro 6 retail price. Please check the previous models gallery page for photos of the Euro 5 model.
Latest vehicles are heading to Abu Dhabi, Malaysia and Istanbul in the very near future
The first Amphibious Search and Rescue Amphibious Utility Vehicle, by our company will be unveiled in the first half of 2017 with an extensive range of options, engines and propulsion units available.

I mentioned in an earlier blog that I did yoga on a stand up paddle board and I loved it. I went again this weekend and I’ve come up with two goals for the board.
By March 26 2014 I want to be able to successfully do a headstand and crane (or crow) pose whilst on the board.
I don’t have a paddle board and I’ve only done two yoga classes on a board, but I really want to get this sussed on the board. I hope I can crush this goal this summer.
If you don’t know anything about headstands or crane pose here is a quick heads up.
Headstands – also known as Shirshasana is considered a fountain of youth pose, along with all inversions. Your blood rushes to your head, your skin is hanging in the opposite direction, essentially you’re going against the flow of gravity. The longer you hold a headstand, the stronger your core becomes. I’m pretty new to headstand and can hold it 5-8 breaths. I’d like to get up to 10 breaths. Personally I also find doing a headstand helps if I feel a headache coming on, and usually if I’m feeling low on energy, headstands make me feel more energetic.
Crane or Crow – also known as Bakasana is another inversion as your head is dipped below your heart. This pose is amazing for your entire yoga practice. It’s a really good pose to become more mindful as I set my gaze, calm my mind and focus on my breathe. I also find that crane is a great pose that gets me to think more mindfully about the muscles I’m using. Crane can be considered a difficult pose and it’s the same pose that makes me smile every time I lift off.

The prime minister has highlighted disbursing official development assistance (ODA) as the main mission of ministries and localities in the final months of this year.
|Disbursing ODA is a major task for Vietnamese ministries this year |
This was announced by Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc at the webinar attended by ministries and localities to review the ODA disbursement scheme. It was the third conference organised in the past three months to check the disbursement process and discuss difficulties in this process.
According to the report published by the Ministry of Planning and Investment, as of October 31, VND18.09 trillion ($786.52 million) of ODA capital was disbursed, equaling 30.15 per cent of the initial expectation. Ministries and central agencies succeeded in disbursing VND5.82 trillion ($253.04 million) in ODA, while the figure from local agencies was VND12.25 trillion ($532.6 million).
According to Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Chi Dung, there are numerous barriers in implementing projects using ODA, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Notably, these projects related to foreign factors or international flights, thus the pandemic prevented machinery imports, entry by foreign experts, as well as organising auctions for foreign contractors.
Besides, Vo Van Hoan, Deputy Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee said that the barriers for ODA disbursement at Metro Lines 1 and 2 are due to the large VND/JPY exchange rate variations.
“The citydivided VND5 trillion ($217.39 million) of ODA for six projects in the city, however, as of October 23, 30 per cent of which was disbursed, 10.8 per cent lower than the initial expectation. VND2.5 trillion ($108.69 million) of the above ODA is allocated for Metro Line 1 and 2, however, no funds have been disbursed for these two projects,” Hoan said.
Can Tho is the locality having the lowest disbursement ratio. According to Le Quang Manh, Secretary of Can Tho Party Committee said that the greatest difficulties in disbursing ODA are land clearance, resettlement, and the weak capacity of contractors.
Another reason is the impact of storms and flood in the central region.
According to the prime minister, the remaining VND41 trillion ($1.78 billion) capital is waiting to be disbursed by the end of this year. Thus, ministries and localities need to focus on dealing with existing difficulties and barriers.
Notably, ministries will have to continue to complete the legal framework. The Ministry of Planning and Investment and the Ministry of Finance will co-operate with each other to clarify the disbursement scheme and then build a 5-year disbursement plan.

Just when I thought that we are done taking care and changing diapers because our youngest is already 5 years old, here comes a new challenge.
Last month my brother gave my sons a new playmate. Her name is Mooch, a Pug dog. Mooch is very playful and lovable dog. My kids love to play and feed her. But recently, I noticed that her coat is shedding, I got worried and decided to bring her to the Vet.
The Vet told us that the coat shedding of a Pug is just normal especially during summer. But the Vet wanted to make sure that the shedding is really normal or caused by some fungal infection. The Vet decided to take a cytology test to verify the cause of Mooch coat shedding.
The result confirmed that Mooch is positive for Demodex mites.
What is Demodex Mites, anyway?
Demodex Mites are also known as skin mites. They are tiny pests that thrive on the skin of all breeds of dogs. A canine with a healthy immune system normally does not experience any discomfort from the presence of these pet mites. However, if the dog’s resistance to infection and disease is weakened in some manner, dog mites can become extremely painful and will eventually develop into the condition known as mange.
If your pet is dealing with mites of this type, here are some ways to treat the condition.At this stage, the vet is likely to recommend a three-fold treatment process to handle the demodex mites.
- Medicated shampoos help to flush out the mites lodged in the pores, as well as any other debris that is clogging the pores.
- An ointment applied to the surface of the skin after bathing helps to ease the redness and prevent the pores from filling with more debris from the crusty patches.
- Finally, oral medications help to support the work of the weakened immune system and restore balance to the pet’s health. This range of treatment often requires several weeks to completely rid the pet of mange, but some improvement is usually seen within a couple of days.
The Vet told us that she need to give Mooch Ivermectin injection and medicated bath once a week for 6 consecutive weeks, plus the vitamins and anti-histamine.

Read full description of the books:
Wally Lamb's two previous novels, She's Come Undone and I Know This Much Is True, struck a chord with readers. They responded to the intensely introspective nature of the books, and to their lively narrative styles and biting humor. One critic called Wally Lamb a "modern-day Dostoyevsky," whose characters struggle not only with their respective pasts, but with a "mocking, sadistic God" in whom they don't believe but to whom they turn, nevertheless, in times of trouble (New York Times).
In The Hour I First Believed, Lamb travels well beyond his earlier work and embodies in his fiction myth, psychology, family history stretching back many generations, and the questions of faith that lie at the heart of everyday life. The result is an extraordinary tour de force, at once a meditation on the human condition and an unflinching yet compassionate evocation of character.
When forty-seven-year-old high school teacher Caelum Quirk and his younger wife, Maureen, a school nurse, move to Littleton, Colorado, they both get jobs at Columbine High School. In April 1999, Caelum returns home to Three Rivers, Connecticut, to be with his aunt who has just had a stroke. But Maureen finds herself in the school library at Columbine, cowering in a cabinet and expecting to be killed, as two vengeful students go on a carefully premeditated, murderous rampage. Miraculously she survives, but at a cost: she is unable to recover from the trauma. Caelum and Maureen flee Colorado and return to an illusion of safety at the Quirk family farm in Three Rivers. But the effects of chaos are not so easily put right, and further tragedy ensues.
While Maureen fights to regain her sanity, Caelum discovers a cache of old diaries, letters, and newspaper clippings in an upstairs bedroom of his family's house. The colorful and intriguing story they recount spans five generations of Quirk family ancestors, from the Civil War era to Caelum's own troubled childhood. Piece by piece, Caelum reconstructs the lives of the women and men whose legacy he bears. Unimaginable secrets emerge; long-buried fear, anger, guilt, and grief rise to the surface.
As Caelum grapples with unexpected and confounding revelations from the past, he also struggles to fashion a future out of the ashes of tragedy. His personal quest for meaning and faith becomes a mythic journey that is at the same time quintessentially contemporary -- and American.
The Hour I First Believed is a profound and heart-rending work of fiction. Wally Lamb proves himself a virtuoso storyteller, assembling a variety of voices and an ensemble of characters rich enough to evoke all of humanity.

As lots of you already know, the subsequent era of Intel Core processors (and we’re going for the thirteenth) is simply across the nook, so it isn’t shocking that the efficiency leaks of those new processors of the model start to occur. On this event we convey you knowledge on what are certainly a very powerful processors of the era (by gross sales quantity), the Core i5-13600K and the Core i7-13700Kso let’s see how they work and the way they examine to what now we have now to see if price hit the leap or not.
Initially, as now we have already advised you once in a while, you must know that the subsequent era of Intel Core processors is what we name “transition”, and that in precept it won’t imply an enormous leap in efficiency as a result of in essence it’s the era present however fine-tuned and improved. For that reason, we are able to count on an enchancment in efficiency, after all, however the knowledge won’t be something to write down house about both. Anyway, since we have already got efficiency knowledge, we’re going to see it in figures.
Efficiency of the Intel i5-13600K and 13700K
We gained’t need to accept a easy benchmark screenshot this time round, because the leak consists of efficiency knowledge on 10 completely different video games along with 3DMark Fireplace Strike and Time Spy. The information has been collected at 1080p, 1440p and 4K decision utilizing a GeForce RTX 3090 Ti, probably the most highly effective graphics card out there, so this shouldn’t be the bottleneck however the processor itself. In fact, understand that each processors are QS (Qualifying Pattern) and the efficiency knowledge will not be definitive.
In these first graphs we are able to see the efficiency of the Intel Core i5-13600K with each DDR5 and DDR4 RAM in comparison with the present Core i5-12600K, the processor mannequin that it’ll substitute within the vary of Intel processors.
And right here the identical, however with the Intel Core i7-13700K processor in comparison with the present 12700K.
Each processors have been examined utilizing two ASRock Z690 Metal Legends WiFi 6E motherboards, one with DDR4 and one with DDR5. The DDR4 RAM ran at a frequency of 3600 MHz whereas the DDR5 reminiscence was examined at a frequency of 5200 MHz, and in each circumstances with 32 GB kits in whole.
As we are able to see, each new era processors have significantly better efficiency than the present era, and though the advance figures should not extraordinary, as we anticipated, they’re fairly outstanding.
Is it price upgrading the PC?
As a transition era by which we return to the well-known cadence Intel Tick Tock (the place they launch a brand new era with a number of enhancements, then an replace to it, after which come again once more to launch a very new era), the efficiency enchancment is kind of noticeable, however not sufficient to be price upgrading to should you already had the present one, Alder Lake-S.
Now, when you have a earlier era and particularly wish to attempt the advantages supplied by these hybrid structure processors together with DDR5 RAM, after all it will likely be price it as a result of we noticed the large generational leap within the present era, and This subsequent one won’t convey any information, however it’ll enhance efficiency that, as now we have seen, will be round 10% enchancment.

University of Wisconsin System President calls for zero-tolerance toward sexual misconduct
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — University of Wisconsin System President Ray Cross is calling for a zero-tolerance attitude toward sexual misconduct.
Cross gave a short speech to the Board of Regents on Friday about sexual misconduct. He noted the regents created a new sexual misconduct policy about a year ago.
The policy calls for mandatory online training for all students and employees. It also requires employees who aren't medical or mental health professionals to report to the dean of students if they witness or receive a first-hand report of sexual assault.
Cross says policies are just ink on paper without a zero-tolerance culture. He promised to work with chancellors and campus government groups to build on what's already been done. He didn't elaborate.
System spokeswoman Stephanie Marquis didn't immediately reply to a follow-up email.

And both Martinez - and club-mate Thibaut Courtois - backed up those views with minnows Panama certain to be staring down the barrel in Sochi.
Belgium’s head coach said: “Eden’s at a great moment in his career.
“He’s the captain - and at a great age. He never finds it difficult to show for the ball.
“You can never compare one player to another but in one-on-one situations he’s as good as anyone in the world.
“He has had a great end to the season. He won a trophy and the semi-final and final at Wembley has prepared him perfectly. In our last two friendlies, he’s looked really sharp.
“He has a great relationship with the players around him - and that allows him to influence greatly what goes on.
“He looks fresh and mentally ready.”
Courtois added his own voice to the compliments being showered upon his club colleague, adding: “I’ve never seen him train or play like this - it’s amazing. I’ve never seen him reach this level.”
Martinez will be hoping that Belgium can advance further than their last two tournament outings when they fell at the last eight - just two years ago to Chris Coleman’s Wales.
But as well as Hazard is playing, the Red Devils’ chief did not want to shine the spotlight solely on him.
He added: “We have other players at great moments in their careers and they are all ready to make their mark at this World Cup.
“Kevin de Bruyne is at exactly the same moment as Eden.
“And I can see that the goalscoring threat Romelu Lukaku has been showing recently, he has got that focus.
“I’m delighted seeing players who are in great moments. But if we are to fulfill their potential, we are going to have to perform as a team.”
Panama boss joked that he would drink two bottles of vodka if the World Cup debutants produced a shock.
Hernan Gomez said: “We can dream. But we know it won’t be easy.
“Belgium are true candidates for this tournament. They have players who are among the best save for Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi - up there in the stratosphere.
“Anything can happen. Iceland had a very good run at the Euros. And a good result against Argentina - but Argentina are not up their in quality with Belgium.
“There’s a great distance between us and this Belgian side. They’re the favourites - we aren’t favourites.”

SFU Softball: Taylor Lundrigan to compete for Canadian Junior Women’s National Team
By Steve Frost
Simon Fraser University freshman infielder Taylor Lundrigan is among 17 players selected to represent Team Canada as a member of the Junior Women’s National Team.
The team was selected following a series of three regional identification camps as well as a final selection camp in Cloverdale, B.C.
The Canadian Junior Women’s National Team competed in the Futures Gold division of the Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship in Surrey, B.C, and will compete at the WBSC XI Junior Women’s World Softball Championship August 9-15 in Oklahoma City, OK.
“The coaching staff and I are extremely pleased with the outcome of this year’s final selection camp,” says Melissa Basilio, head coach of the Canadian Junior Women’s National Team.
“We have a well-rounded group of athletes and look forward to working with them over the next few weeks as we prepare for the WBSC Junior Women’s World Softball Championship in Oklahoma City.”
Lundrigan was second on SFU in batting (.327) and led the Clan with 48 hits and was second with four homeruns in 48 games this season. She finished two hits short of the Clan freshman record of 50 hits set by Angela Lichty in 1999.
SFU freshmen Taylor Gillis and Katherine Murnaghan and incoming recruit Samantha Ruffet were among the final 28 players competing for a spot on the team.

“Villa Bella at Vista Cay is the Best! Enjoy your stay!”
Just returned from a wonderful week long stay at this unit at the Vista Cay Resort! The condo is spacious, luxurious, and very comfortable. The pictures do not do this lovely space justice. Everything is better than expected. And clean as can be! From beginning to end, the owner, Bill, made this vacation a great experience. Bill's quick response to my initial inquiry, his professional manner during booking, and his call during our stay, asking if all was well, were much appreciated. From the time you step foot on the resort property, you will experience what a vacation should be like; restful, relaxing, and happy. Check-in was a breeze at the wonderful clubhouse, where the game room, theatre, exercise room, sundry/gift shop, and business office suite is located. All the staff were pleasant and very accommodating. We did have two small problems, a broken coffee maker and a front door that wouldn't lock. One call to the front desk and the coffee maker was replaced with a brand new one in less than a half hour. The lock turned out to be a slipped battery that the repairman fixed with equal quickness. Fast response is due to the fact that the owner uses the on-site management company. The unit is equipped with everything you might need to make your stay a pleasant one. Everything is there. A special treat was the nicely appointed veranda overlooking both the heated pool and scenic Lake Cay. Some of my family's favorite times were enjoyed on the veranda. At the end of our stay all my family regretted that we were leaving a place that was such a perfect fit for us. When you think of the cost for three bedrooms at Disney or any of the other hotels in the area, you should be able to see how value packed this rental can be for your family! By the way, Vista Cay is close to everything, and has a nice Publix grocery store, a Walgreens, and plenty of restaurants that deliver to the unit's door. Make your reservation, today. You won't be disappointed!
Response from the owner Thank you so much much for your review Karen. It is greatly appreciated. My goal is the total satisfaction of my clients. I am glad the unit met all of your needs and you felt comfortable throughout your stay. I hope to have the opportunity to accommodate you and your family again in the future. Best Regards, Bill
“Great accommodation - highly recommended”
I stayed in the Penthouse with my husband, 2 year old daughter and my parents for 9 days in May 2013. We had previously stayed in hotels on I-Drive but were certainly not disappointed with Vista Cay! We thought the accommodation was excellent. It was clean, well equipped and photos on web were accurate. The Penthouse was large enough that we weren't living in each others pockets. We liked being in a gated community and also on the top floor - we felt more secure. The location of Vista Cay is excellent for all the Parks and shopping (we recommend that you have the use of a car), Publix and Walgreens within a few minutes walk was great. The Penthouse has great views of the pool which was just next door to our building, car parking is right outside. We would certainly have no hesitation in recommending this property and also Bill who was extremely easy and helpful to deal with when we were organising our trip. We hope to return again very soon. Ps.This is the first time we have ever taken time to do a review, so it must be good!
Response from the owner Thank you so much for your review Stephanie. I am glad you and your family had a GREAT time and enjoyed what Orlando and Vista Cay has to offer as well as the accommodations. Thank you for the opportunity to host you and your family and I hope you come back soon. Best Regards, Bill Maloney
“amazing views. gorgeous appt”
Loved this place. Beautifully furnished and very comfortable. Loved the fact that all the Bedrooms had large screen HD TVs. Great location with easy access to Universal, Disney, Occc and I Drive. Also loved sitting on the balcony and enjoying the views.
“A great luxury vacation!!”
Hi Bill, Just want to say we so enjoyed your beautiful condo at Vista Cay. Ten days weren't enough, I hated to come home. My son graduated from UCF and the luxury of the condo made the celebration even more special. Although this was a working vacation to pack him up and move him home, your place made it a real vacation. My family was so comfortable each having their own rooms and space and bathroom.. The pool was the best, I have to say it was so relaxing and exceptionally clean. The location was easy for my boys to take off to the parks for the day while we shopped at the Outlets. We had a blast at Pointe Plaza just down the road, went twice for food and dancing. Also enjoyed having meals at the condo,food shopping at Publix's with-in walking distance and the kitchen being so well equipped for cooking,it was easy. The airport being so close, I vowed I will never drive down again but will certainly fly and hope to rent your place again.. Everything was so convenient. Thank You for allowing us to rent your place and look forward to the next time. Sincerely, Robert and Susan
“Absolutely our best family vacation.”
I just wanted to thank you again for allowing my family to use your condo for our vacation. We had a blast. The condo was awesome. The décor was great, like a tuscan village. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had all the right amenities, just like home. I enjoyed sitting on the balcony at night, it was so quite and peaceful after a long day of running around the parks. The rest of the family went right for the pool and hot tub and usually stayed there until it closed for the evening. The management company could not have done more. Friendly and courteous. They even allowed us to watch the bruins playoff game the first day we were there on the large screen in the movie room. Made us feel like we were home. They called our unit midway through the week just to make sure everything was going well. Great service all around. Thank you again, we will definately let all our friends and family know about your condo. We will not need to look any further for any future trips to Orlando. Regards, Rosanna Natola
“This is a great condo, and we completely enjoyed our stay.”
This property is beautifully appointed and is in a fantastic location. We would definitely stay there again.
“Much better than staying on Disney property”
My family of 4 stayed here in Feb and had a great stay. It is about 5 minutes from Universal, 5 minutes from Sea World and 15 minutes from Disney World. The place is very spacious and clean. We are very very picky about how clean a place is and we had no complaints about this condo. The pool is good but not spectacular. But it is a fine place to spend an afternoon. On the service side, we had to call because the previous tenant or the cleaning staff had put the stopper in the sink upside down and jammed it in, which meant the garbage disposal didn't work. They came and fixed it 15 minutes after we called. We have already recommended it to friends and will stay here anytime we are in Orlando.
Our family of five took a trip from MN to Orlando, FL for a week in March. We loved everything about our Vista Cay stay. Bill was honest about everything, and the photos were right on. We loved the fact that each of us had our own little room to getaway from one another (when needed). We were close to Disney, so it was nice to come back and take a break or swim etc. We felt right at home, and didn't want our vacation to end. Thanks Bill for everything!!
Response from the owner Thank you Jennifer for your review. I am glad you and your family had a GREAT vacation and enjoyed the unit and Vista Cay. I hope to have the opportunity to host you and your family again in the future. Have a good summer. Best Regards, Bill
“This property met and exceeded all our expectations.”
This was the third time we had rented at Vista Cay. Bill was wonderful to deal with and the property exceeded the pictures on the website. It was upscale, clean and has a wonderful view. I would definitely recommend it.
Response from the owner Thank you for your review and the opportunity to accommodate you Kathy. I am glad you continue to return to beautiful Vista Cay and hope you continue to do so in the future. Thanks again and regards. Bill
“Perfect place for a family vacation!”
We really enjoyed our stay at Vista Cay. We have 3 teenage boys so the spacious condo was nice-we never felt "too close". The boys enjoyed the nice pool and my wife and I appreciated the well kept grounds. It was an easy drive to Disney World and other attractions were close, too. We will plan on coming back to this condo when we are back in Orlando.

There are numerous hotels, holiday apartments, holiday houses and finca cottages on the volcanic island, where you can spend your special Easter holidays. Easter has a great importance in Tenerife. There is an old Spanish custom called Semana Santa, that is celebrated on the whole island. The hustle and bustle won't be avoidable for the visitors that stay in the holiday apartments, houses and farm houses over Easter. Good Friday is the most important holiday on this religious island. On the occasion of that day, almost all communities organize processions in memory of Jesus. Especially for visitors that want to have their own individual holidays instead of living in hotels in tourist areas, it is a great chance to experience local traditions and customs very closely. Especially admirable are the processions in La Laguna and La Orotava in the north and in the south in Candelaria and Adeje. Here, local brotherhoods walk through the streets and represent Christ's sufferings.
In addition to the processions on Good Friday, the inhabitants of Tenerife have a great bonfire at the beach on the Easter weekend. They sing, dance and celebrate all night long. The so called Tinerfeños (inhabitants of Tenerife) don't leave until the fire has gone out. For visitors, it is recommended to join the merry crowd. For those who want to spend their Easter holidays in a more relaxed way, the cosy fincas offer great views on the ocean and on the bonfires. Just relax with a glass of wine and enjoy the view!
If you are looking for a special destination with good weather and a lot of sunshine to spend Easter, Tenerife is the perfect place for you. If you want to enjoy the festivities in its full extent, it is recommended to stay in a place in the interior of the island. Away from the hotels, visitors can experience all the typical Easter traditions and customs. Therefore, it is ideal to stay in holiday apartments, houses and fincas.

In New Zealand, Koro, the leader of a Maori tribe, is eagerly awaiting the birth of his grandchild. He wants to train up a new leader of the tribe but his own two sons have proved unsuitable and all his hope is resting on the next generation. His daughter-in-law gives birth to twins, but he is devastated when the boy baby dies, leaving only a girl, Pai. When the mother dies too, her husband, Pai’s father, cannot cope and he leaves Pai, played by Keisha Castle-Hughes, to be brought up by her grandparents. Pai adores Koro, but he can’t see beyond her gender to recognise the gifts and potential that she has. Rejected again and again by Koro because she is a girl, she somehow finds the inner strength to persevere in trying to win his love. Eventually Koro realises that the leader he was searching for has been living in his house all the time, and he acknowledges Pai’s calling to lead the tribe. I cry every time I see this film, probably because the themes are very close to home! There’s a lot here about reshaping tradition, of reimagining leadership while staying connected to our roots. Damaris has a study guide to this film on their Culturewatch website www.damaris.org/cw
Based on true events, North Country tells the story of the first class action sex-discrimination case to be won in the US. Josey Aimes, played by Charlize Theron, is a single mother who goes back to live with her parents to escape her abusive marriage. The only option for work is the local mine where she signs on as a labourer but then has to endure horrific abuse, along with the other female workers there. Some women just accept the discrimination as part of the job, and not all are willing to support Josey when she decides to speak out against it. This film highlights the need to stand up for justice and also raises interesting questions about the ways in which men and women can work together against sexism and oppression.
Another film based on a true story, this charts Erin’s journey from disaffected single mother to case-winning campaigning lawyer. Erin, played by Julia Roberts, is caught in a car accident and damages her neck, Unable to work, she loses her claim for damages because of her foul mouth and then badgers her lawyer, Ed Masry played by Albert Finney, for a job. Ed relents and lets her investigate claims that pollution from the Pacific Gas and Electricity Corporation in nearby Hinckley is making people seriously ill. Erin goes to interview the people concerned and starts to piece the case together, making it her own personal crusade. During the film, we see Erin growing in self-respect and empowerment, but also paying the price in terms of time with her children and a relationship with her neighbour.
What Women Want
Nick Marshall, played by Mel Gibson, is an executive in an advertising agency whose world is shaken when Darcy McGuire, played by Helen Hunt, is given the job that he thought he deserved. The agency is trying to win business from companies that are targeting women, and so Darcy gives all the creatives a box of women’s products to try out at home. Cue funny scenes of Mel Gibson trying on tights and lipstick. But then an accident with a hairdryer in the bathroom leaves him able to hear women’s thoughts. He’s amazed at what he hears and loses no time in using this new ‘gift’ to his advantage, although he also becomes more sensitive and understanding of the women in his life. If only it were that simple. Now, where’s my hairdryer…
Mona Lisa Smile
Katherine Watson, played by Julia Roberts, arrives at Wellesley College to teach history of art. She expects the students at the wealthy girls’ college to be ambitious and progressive but is shocked to find that they hold very traditional views about the role of women, with marriage the pinnacle of their aspirations. Katherine challenges the girls to think as individuals and to question their assumptions about their role in society. Some are more open to her views than others and one student, Betty, even launches a campaign against her. The film highlights just how much roles and expectations are formed by the society we live in. The film is set in the post-war 50s. A decade earlier women had willingly joined the war effort and filled the jobs left by servicemen. Now the war was over they needed to be persuaded back into traditional roles as dedicated wives, caring mothers and proud homemakers. Damaris has a study guide to this film on their Culturewatch website www.damaris.org/cw
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
Toula, played by Nia Vardalos, works in her family’s Greek restaurant in Chicago while she waits to get married. She falls in love with Ian Miller, who isn’t Greek, and the predictable cultural misunderstandings and tensions follow. Toula’s family follow very traditional gender roles. She’s expected to work in the restaurant because that’s what unmarried daughters do, although she would prefer to work in her aunt and uncle’s travel agency. There’s a great scene where her mother and aunt persuade Toula’s father that this is his idea as that is the only way he will agree to the change, highlighting the communication games that men and women so easily play.
Bend it like Beckham and Billy Elliott
Two films that tell the stories of young people rejecting the cultural expectations of their gender to follow their dreams. Jess, played by Parminder Nagra, is an Indian Sikh whose parents want her to learn to cook Aloo Gobi, while all she wants is to play football. She goes behind their backs, encouraged by her friend Jules, played by Keira Knightley, to attend training and even a trip to Germany. The crunch comes when the chance to play in front of a key football scout clashes with her sister’s wedding. But it all works out in the end and she ends up going to the States to join a football academy. Billy Elliott, played by Jamie Bell, is growing up during the miners’ strikes in 1984 in north-east England. His Dad sends him to the local boxing club, but he’s more interested in the ballet dancing next door. His teacher, played by Julie Walters, sees his potential and encourages him to apply to ballet school. His Dad is opposed at first but then sees how important it is to Billy and even breaks the strike to earn some money to send him to an audition for the Royal Ballet School. Damaris has a study guide to both these films on their Culturewatch website www.damaris.org/cw
Mean Girls is based on the non-fiction book Queen Bees and Wannabes by Rosalind Wiseman. It tells the story of Cady Heron who has been home-schooled in Africa until she's 16 when she moves to the States with her parents. Desperate to fit in, she makes friends with Janis and Damian who introduce her to all the school cliques, including the Plastics, a bitchy female threesome headed up by Regina George. Cady sets out to infiltrate the Plastics so she can report back to Janis and Damian, but ends up becoming just like them. Great vehicle to talk about female friendships.
Set in a village in Burkina Faso, this film tells the story of a group of girls who face female circumcision. Four of them manage to escape before they are cut and they run to Mama Colle’s house, as she did not allow her daughter to be circumcised. She takes the four girls into her house and protects them with a coloured cord stretched across the entrance - this represents 'moolaade', or sanctuary, and neither the women who are eager to perform the circumcision ceremony, nor the male elders, dare break the cord.
Water is the last of three films by the Indian director, Deepa Mehta, which highlight the patriarchal oppression endemic in her culture. Water tells the story of an eight-year-old girl who is already a widow. Married to an older man as a young girl, now he has died she has to go and live in a widow’s house for the rest of her life, shunned by the rest of society. The widows are trapped by the expectations of the society outside the ashram, but also by their own acquiescence to their ‘fate’, believing that this is what they deserve. Water is a stunningly beautiful film, and very thought provoking.

There have been many debates on how and why English has spread worldwide. As a local case of the phenomenon, this study investigates the spread of English in the Japanese speech community in the framework of World English and macroacquisition (Brutt-Griffler, 2002) while also using dialogism (Bakhtin, 1981; Holquist, 2002) and the theory of value (Makiguchi, 1981-88) to analyze the data. The study examines the reasons for and the mechanisms of the spread of English and discusses educational implications of the phenomenon in Japan. In carrying out its research objectives, the study investigates the perceptions about English among English teachers, students, parents, the government policy makers, and the business world and reveals how their voices have interacted with one another and have become a force to promote English.
This dissertation employs a case study as its methodological approach by drawing data from the analysis of policy documents that sheds light on the historical development and implementation of English language policy in Japan; equally it analyzes the data from semi-structured interviews and questionnaire surveys with the subjects to uncover the contemporary narrative of English language use in Japan. The data obtained from each group of participants are interpreted in a cohesive manner so that the interaction of the multiple voices is represented.
The study shows that there are two principal forces that have promoted English at least since the early 1990s in the Japanese speech community: one of them is the performative and academic motives among the subjects in higher education. The second force that propels English pertains to what I call the discourses of "English will be important in the future."
The findings of the study provide an insight into one of the local cases of the worldwide spread of English. The understanding of how this local situation does or does not fit into the overall worldwide phenomena contributes to our understanding of World English, a larger body of knowledge on the worldwide spread of English.

its move from far away L’Espace Dell'Arte (Montreal North)
to the Astral,
Montreal’s newest and busiest music venue situated in the
heart of the city’s arts and entertainment district, Jazz
en Rafale is now -- and deservingly so -- in the big leagues.
The move to downtown opened up the event to tourists and walk-ins,
resulting in an 80% improvement over last year’s attendance.
in its 11th year, Jazz en Rafale, which opens Montreal's celebrated
music festival season, put on its best program yet, in no small
part due to the emergence of Maurin Auxéméry, Effendi’s
man for development.
the recording label that sponsors Jazz en Rafale,
is run by bassist Alain Bédard and singer-pianist Carole
Therrien, both of whom have their careers to manage, and are in
chronic short supply of the time it takes to manage Effendi and
produce a music festival. Enter Maurin Auxéméry:
charming, witty, soft-spoken, hard working, and now the organizing
principle (morceau rassembleur) that energizes the festival.
Prior to meeting Maurin, I was vehemently opposed to cloning.
Having met and spoken with him on numerous occasions, I have had
to reverse my position and insist that the Montreal jazz scene
is all the richer for having him in its midst.
year’s festival featured for the 5th year in a row the Jupiter-Vandoren
competition, dedicated to up and coming jazz musicians. The winner
(my last year’s pick) was Atomic
5; their atom splitting set confirmed that this group
has already arrived with its unique blend of musicianship and
concept-driven original material that reveals unexpected nuance
and craft. Last year’s winner, Rafael Zaldivar, was invited
to play and launch his debut album. With underwhelming technique,
he joins musicians like pianist Marianne Trudel, who are obliged
to make their mark with original material. Not yet 30, Zaldivar
is an emerging composer whose career will be best served by well-informed
a long apprenticeship, François
Bourassa left no doubt that, along with John Stetch,
he is one of Canada’s outstanding jazz pianists.
Partnering with pianist Jean-Michel Pilc, they supplied the most
creative and spontaneous concert of the festival. Bourassa's gifts
border on the exceptional: he brings to the 88 a tremendous ear,
a technique that Oliver Jones would approve of, and a creative
component that is producing a body of original material that is
sure to gain him an international following.
of the festival belonged to the amazing and extraordinarily gifted
Luc, who is simply one of the greatest (and most
generous) guitarists on the planet. He opened with original material
that came out of nowhere; not a straight chord or sequence of
notes to be heard, but the composing, however abstract, was never
compromised by the feeling and soul that prompted material that
reveals more with successive listenings. Like Paco de Lucia, Luc’s
leads engage all the fingers and feature invention that is nothing
less than startling. If he hasn’t received the recognition
Lagrène, it’s simply because life
isn’t fair. Sylvain Luc will be playing in Place des Arts'
5ème Salle at the 2010 Montreal Jazz Festival. Don’t
miss out on this rare treat.
en Rafale was so good this year, it would be even better if Maurin
and team would consider extending the event to include a third
weekend: nine instead of six evening's of music, or, citing the
Beatles -- eight days a week. Which is to say all is better than
well at Jazz en Rafale and with Montreal jazz in general.
