Jumping Amsterdam

After several years of absence, the carriage driving sport is back on the programme of the international horse show Jumping Amsterdam. On Sunday evening 20th January, IJsbrand Chardon, Theo Timmerman, Mark Weusthof and Hans Heus will enter the Amsterdam RAI arena for a spectacular indoor marathon competition.
Earlier that day, IJsbrand Chardon will start in the FEI World Cup Driving competition in Leipzig, Germany. As soon as the competition is finished, Chardon will head to Amsterdam where he will drive the team of his colleague Herman ter Harmsel.

The four-in-hand drivers will each be added to one of the four Region teams, which is composed of a single horse, a pair horse, a pair pony and a four-in-hand pony. These drivers have qualified at exciting regional competitions to compete at Jumping Amsterdam to represent their Region.

Helped by the top drivers, the four Region teams will battle it out at Jumping Amsterdam so excitement is guaranteed!

MV Lyubov Orlova

MV Lyubov Orlova (built as Lyubovy Orlova) is a 1976 Yugoslavia-built ice-strengthened Maria Yermolova-class cruise ship. Once known for Antarctic cruises, the ship made headlines after she was abandoned dockside in St. John's, Newfoundland and then became a floating derelict in the North Atlantic Ocean in 2013.

Microsoft Xbox One review

The good: Microsoft's Xbox One integrates live TV in an innovative fashion and can control your cable or satellite cable box, TV, and receiver. Most games present noticeably improved graphics over those on the Xbox 360. The One has a slightly better roster of exclusive launch games compared with the PS4's.

The bad: The live TV integration is fraught with frustrations: Kinect voice commands don't always work, the new dashboard is more confusing than it needs to be, and the system lacks full DVR integration. It costs $100 more than the PS4, and the additional Xbox Live Gold membership fee is required to use nearly every cool feature. The lineup of launch games lacks a Halo-caliber must-have title.

The bottom line: The Xbox One goes beyond gaming with its ambitious live TV integration, but at launch it can't deliver a knockout blow to the PS4 due to a higher price and uneven voice control. We suggest you wait for improvements, but for now, the Xbox One is better suited to forgiving early adopters.
