In just six years, Facebook's Open Compute Project (OCP) has become a major phenom in the data center hardware industry that has attracted an almost cult-like following among engineers.

And on Wednesday, Facebook upped the bar yet again.

Facebook announced that it was giving away four new designs for brand-new types of computer servers invented at Facebook.

Anyone can take these designs, modify them and use them, with contract manufacturers standing by to build them.

Those contract manufacturers include Chinese companies ike Quanta, as well as the world's largest maker of computer servers, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise (HPE).

Better and cheaper

While Hewlett-Packard Enterprise has a chip in this Open Compute Project game, OCP's influence hasn't necessarily been a boon to the company. That's because OCP is to data center hardware what Linux is to software: open source. Engineers all collaborate freely on designs, with no intellectual property ownership barriers.

The idea is simple: to help Facebook and other large-scale Internet cloud companies build faster, better, push-the-envelope hardware that costs less money than buying traditional servers from companies like HPE, Dell or Cisco.

And other big cloud providers, like Google and especially Microsoft, have been involved in OCP, using designs themselves and sharing some of their own tech innovations.

Apple, too, is involved, as is AT&T, Verizon, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, and many others. Meanwhile, Amazon and LinkedIn are also building their own infrastructure from scratch, if not from OCP designs, then from their own.

As businesses choose to use cloud-computing services instead of buying their own servers, and the internet companies build their own faster, cheaper servers, the server industry has begun to hurt. In 2016, revenue for the worldwide server market declined about 4% to just under $53 billion, accordingtomarket researcherIDC, in large part because of cloud computing and "declining high-end server sales," said IDC research director Kuba Stolarski.

This includes double-digit declines in revenue in the last half of 2016 for HPE.

Raising the bar

In many ways, Facebook's designs have been putting the professional hardware industry to shame, doing things with hardware that's never been done before.

That's because people watch 100 million hours of video a day on Facebook; they post over 95 million photos and videos to Facebook and Instagram daily, and a good 400 million people now use voice and video chat every month on Messenger, Facebook tells us.

That kinds of usage puts incredible demands on the computer infrastructure. Facebook has been inventing new tech in response, and then giving away what it creates to OCP.

To that end, Facebook's technical program manager Arlene Gabriana Murillo announced these four new servers on Wednesday, which adds to and updates a handful of other servers it has already contributed to OCP. Take a look:

"Bryce Canyon" is a storage server for things like photos and videos that can hold more (20% higher hard disk drive density) and run faster (4x increase in compute capability) over the predecessor Facebook invented (known as "Honey Badger").

"Yosemite v2" is a server that keeps chugging away even when someone yanks out bits and pieces of its insides to replace or repair them.

"Tioga Pass" is a computer server that processes big chunks of data in memory, making it faster than conventional servers as well as its predecessor "Leopard." (It uses dual-socket motherboards and more i/o bandwidth for things like memory and graphics processing).

The INSIDER Summary:

• Thinking of meal ideas can often be quite the challenge. 
• Pros including Bobby Flay, Mario Batali, and Andrew Zimmern share their tips for quick and easy recipes.  
• Martha Stewart loves salmon chowder, while Giada De Laurentiis whips up lemon spaghetti in a pinch.

Do you ever wonder, "What the heck am I making for dinner tonight?" Us, too. It can be easy to get stuck in a rut (Seamless or otherwise). So, for some inspiration, we asked our favorite celebrity chefs what recipes should be in every twenty-something's repertoire.

The result: easy, delicious go-tos that you can make again and again. Some are perfect when you just have 30 minutes; some are for when you've got more time to settle in and prepare a solid meal. But they're all recipes and techniques you'll be able to come back to time and time again.

Whether you're an expert home cook or just getting comfortable in the kitchen, these tips from pros including Martha Stewart, Padma Lakshmi, and Mario Batali will get you excited to make dinner again. And who knows, maybe you'll find your new favorite recipe.

Martha Stewart: Salmon Chowder, Featured In Martha Stewart’s Vegetables

Martha Stewart's hearty chowder is not only perfect for cold weather, it's easy on the wallet, as well.

“Frugal cooks have long relied on cold-storage crops like potatoes to make meals with substance during long winters, and chowders are among the easiest and most delicious of those. This hearty soup offers generous pieces of fresh fish floating in a creamy broth with root vegetables, like carrots and onions. The perfect quick and easy recipe for any twenty-something to create that will not only leave you satisfied but will leave you with leftovers for lunches and dinners to come.”

Guy Fieri: Roast Chicken

Guy Fieri has eaten all kinds of complicated, crazy meals across the country, but he shared with us why a simple roast chicken, one of his favorite go-to dinners featured in his cookbook Guy Fieri Family Food, is as essential as it is easy to make.

"A whole chicken is one of the most sustainable, resourceful pieces of, not just protein, but food that a twenty-something should know how to make. You can cook it as healthy as you can cook anything. Put a dry rub on it, limit the salt if you want, season it with fresh herbs and lemon, lemon zest, garlic, onions, [or] mirepoix.You can eat the chicken at that moment, when it’s done. And your leftover chicken can be resourceful for lunch or dinner. You can save all your bones from the chicken and you can make chicken stock for chicken noodle soup. All just off of one chicken."

Giada De Laurentiis: Lemon Spaghetti

We spoke to Giada De Laurentiis at an event she hosted for Frangelico, and she didn't hesitate when we asked what dish she thinks should be in every twenty-something's back pocket:

"Lemon Spaghetti. [Take] equal parts lemon juice and olive oil, Parmesan cheese, and one to two garlic cloves, cooked spaghetti or any noodle that you want, and some pasta water. The sauce is not cooked, just put all of those things in a bowl like you're making a vinaigrette, [then] add the hot pasta. Start with a ladle full of pasta water, more if you need it, and just toss toss, toss, finish it off with a little bit of lemon zest."

"I like to serve it in the summer with grilled shrimp. You can do it vegetarian style, you can do it with any protein that you might want. It makes a quick and simple meal"

Women have a long way to go on Wall Street, and nowhere is this more true than in the hedge fund industry, where only 15% of CEOs are women. 

While women often hold marketing and compliance roles, they are rare in investing positions, which usually pay the most.

There are a lot of reasons for the gap, among them biases, cliquey hiring, and weaker professional networks.

Last year, I spoke with female investors about what it is like working in the industry. We're republishing their stories in honor of International Women's Day on March 8.

Some spoke of annoying biases — one woman who launched her own fund said she stopped wearing her wedding ring at investor meetings because she grew tired of questions about what her husband did. Others spoke of being ignored for the investment ideas they presented or hearing crass talk about female colleagues.

Most said their experiences had, on the whole, been otherwise positive. Investing proves a quantifiable measure on which to be measured, something other careers lack, some mentioned. There are fewer gray areas on which to be measured, the thinking goes, if you can point to a number that proves your performance for the year.

Everyone asked to be kept anonymous so to not jeopardize their careers. Here are their stories.

"There's a general theme of being discounted"— Investor on an all-male investment team

"I have developed a lot of thick skin. It's not uncommon when we discuss an investment idea, I'll raise my hand, the question will be dismissed, and then a [male] colleague will ask the same question and there will be a 30-minute conversation."

"When I travel, when I'm in boardrooms, people will direct questions to my [male] boss and not me, even though I presented ... There's a general theme of being discounted almost or doubted and a general assumption of 'she must be the IR [investor relations rep].'"

"It's a delicate line. I want to be treated equally and be one of the boys. Sometimes they say lewd comments and it goes in one ear and out the other. I want it to be a natural environment where they feel they can speak freely." 

"There’s a certain approach to conversation that comes out of knowing what is expected in a conversation"— Investor who studied engineering

"I've always operated in an environment where the distribution was highly skewed ... There's a certain approach to conversation that comes out of knowing what is expected in a conversation. Sticking to a need to say basis. Speak about what's relevant. The content matters ... being to the point."

"If you're in the minority, being the only woman on the team, your voice is heard more. I think of it like a parent with 10 kids and you think you have an underdog in the family. You think you need to call out the weakest link, the quietest child so you can hear what the quietest child has to say ... The fact that you are the only one on the team makes you more visible in many ways. And the reason you made the team is because you met certain criteria and you deserve to be on the team. And you have a level of credibility that you get to be heard, and amplified."

"He was surprised I wasn't pitching a more 'girly' name"— Hedge fund analyst

"It has always been a more uncomfortable game of numbers where the ratio of male to females in any event is 10 to one and the men huddle together and the women are sort of separated. In one instance, I was meeting with an analyst from a hedge fund in the city and he asked whether I had any names I could pitch him. I began to talk about a semiconductor company when he interrupted to say he was surprised I wasn't pitching a more 'girly' name."

March 8 is International Women's Day. 

The earliest celebration of International Women's Day was in 1909. That year, the Socialist Party of America dedicated the day to honoring the 1908 garment workers' strike in New York. Through the years, the day has been spent showing the progress that women have made as well as the progress women (and men) around the world are working towards. 

This year, the organizers of the January 21 Women's March organized A Day Without Women to show the impact women have. Hundreds of women have gone on strike causing schools, businesses, and publications to go dark for the day.

In support of International Women's Day we've rounded up some of the most poignant quotes from some of the most well-known supporters of the gender equality movement:

Hillary Clinton: former Secretary of State, former New York Senator and 2016 Democratic nominee for President of the United States

Emma Watson: actress and UN Women Goodwill Ambassador

Gloria Steinem: journalist and political activist

Thousands of women across the world are participating in demonstrations and rallies for International Women's Day on March 8.

The organizers of January's Women's March on Washington also called for a "Day Without a Woman" strike, leading to school and business closures around the US. Women were encouraged to wear red and shop only at businesses owned by women and minorities.

In New York City, protesters gathered outside of the Trump International Hotel near Columbus Circle to push for gender equality and women's rights. 

Here are a few powerful images from the event.

The "Day Without a Woman" strike seeks to highlight the need for economic, social, and reproductive justice for all women.

In New York City, hundreds of people gathered in Columbus Circle for a rally.

The event featured a number of speakers, including national organizers from January's Women's March.

On Tuesday, Qatar Airways unveiled its new QSuite Business Class at the ITB Berlin travel industry trade show. 

"Today I am proud to unveil the future of premium travel with our new QSuite Business Class," Qatar Airways Group CEO His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker said in a statement. "Our unique and patented design is a world first in many ways and challenges industry norms by offering passengers more privacy, more choice, and more personalization."

A few years ago, Qatar Airways made the decision to go to a two-class layout on all of its planes apart from its fleet of seven Airbus A380 superjumbos. As a result, the airline invested heavily on its business class and economy product offerings. In 2016, Qatar Airways was named the best business class in the world by consumer aviation website Skytrax.

In fact, the 20-year-old airline's investment in its new business-class-on-steroids is indicative of the airline industry's latest trend towards two cabin configurations with first class going the way of the dodo. 

Now, Qatar is back with a business class cabin that's said to be even better.

Unlike existing business class offerings, the QSuite is designed not only for individual comfort and convenience, but also to thrive in group settings. Even though its individual suites look fairly conventional on the outside, they offer a new level of flexibility and a communal atmosphere unheard of in the era of private premium seating.

Here's a closer look at Qatar Airways' new QSuite Business Class:

Looking around Qatar Airways' business class cabin, my initial impression is that the QSuite looks pretty run-of-the-mill for a premium international airline.

After all, passengers can still enjoy a movie or ...

... Get a good night's sleep in the privacy of their private suites.

Home security cameras, like the Nest Cam, are supposed to catch when a burglar is breaking into your house, or other useful video.

But they also capture some of life's funniest moments, too, like when someone falls down or a pet does something absolutely adorable.

Nest, an Alphabet company, shared on Wednesday what it calls "The Nesties," some of the most compelling home camera videos its users have shared with the Google cousin. Nest has added background music. 

Some of the videos are laugh-out-loud funny. Take a look:

LONDON — Fintech — financial technology — has become a boom industry in Britain over the last 10 years, with the Chancellor singling out the sector and the City Minister hailing it as a key post-Brexit growth area.

However, data from job vacancy site Indeed.com suggests the sector is engaged in a "full-scale battle for talent" as a skills shortage bites.

This has led recruiters to push up wages in the industry and Indeed.com has compiled data on the 10 best paid roles in fintech right now.

The sector covers everything from online lending to reinventing the guts of traditional banks and developing new networks for trading.

Here are the best-paid roles, based on the average of salaries advertised on Indeed.com:

9. Test lead — £59,923

The role: Test leads are in charge of testing out new products before they launch and helping to troubleshoot any problems as and when they arise.

Current vacancy:Application support analyst, MarketInvoice.

8. Technical lead — £60,008

The role: Technical leads are in charge of a team of developers, driving them towards building a specific product of feature. Unlike just a team leader, a tech lead's job will involve both management of people and the central code, meaning you need to be able to code to do this job.

Current vacancy: Development Team Lead PHP, World First.

7. Python developer — £60,048

The role: Python is a type of programming language developed in the 1980s that is valued for its ease of use and its big back catalogue of programmes. Programmers are the backbone of any fintech startup and so are always in demand.

Current vacancy: Web developer, Expend.

Although HBO has made attempts to separate itself from that thing we call television ("it's not TV, it's HBO"), the premium cable network has brought us some of the greatest TV of all time throughout its history of original programming, which started in the early '80s — from "The Sopranos" to "Game of Thrones."

Since HBO's list of original programming is so good, we decided to rank its shows according to their ratings on Metacritic, which aggregates critics' reviews and assigns each season of a show a score. (For shows with multiple seasons, we averaged their scores.)

The list is competitive. But like any other television network, HBO has released some stinkers in its lifetime. 

(Note: We left off animated, children's, documentary/reality, and foreign programming as well as miniseries, with a few notable exceptions.)

Here's how HBO's shows rank from worst to best, according to critics on Metacritic:

71. “Ja'mie: Private School Girl” (2013), one season

Metacritic Score: 40

“It's a painfully obvious shtick, so camp and arch it's impossible to enjoy the joke.” —TV Guide

70. "Real Time with Bill Maher" (2003-), 15 seasons

Average Metacritic Score: 43

"Why would HBO, cable's most innovative network ... think it's a good idea to let Bill Maher bring the skeleton of his canceled ABC show, 'Politically Incorrect,' and stuff it into the tattered corpse of 'Dennis Miller Live'?"—Entertainment Weekly

69. "Lucky Louie" (2006), one season

Metacritic Score: 47

"A show so vile, it makes you think the company's arrogant It's Not TV — It's HBO slogan isn't a brag — it's a threat."—USA Today

We all face conflict in our day to day lives, be it during our working day or at home. Sometimes a heated discussion is planned, but other times it can occur unexpectedly. 

In these situations, it can be hard to keep your cool, meaning many of your sensible points might get lost in the process. 

In 2010, Nadia Lopez opened Mott Hall Bridges Academy in Brownsville, Brooklyn. The area had a reputation as one of the most violent neighbourhoods in New York City, with the most shootings according to NYPD records. She knew it would be no easy task, but she used her coporate background and experience in education to face the challenges head on. One challenge in particular was knowing how to dial down conflict.

Lopez shared six ways to deal with heated situations in a blog on TED, which can be applied to many different situations, not just in the classroom.

Tip 1: Be transparent.

Being open and honest requires a certain vulnerability, but Lopez says it's a way to restore morale and inspire others. 

When faced with a challenging situation like a conflict, being transparent about what your vision is can build trust between people, which then turns into mutual respect. 

Lopez says people appreciate it when you speak frankly, and that includes admitting when you're struggling. This develops into connections where you understand and support each other, which, she says, is a lot more important that pretending to be a flawless leader.

Tip 2: Be aware of what's going on around you.

Lopez says it's important to stop and ask yourself why something is or isn't working. The best way to do this is to check in with people face-to-face. Sometimes she gathers teachers into focus groups to ask them what's going on, and what can be done to help boost morale. This way, people feel respected and feel that their opinion matters.

She also asks the kids the same; what they enjoy doing and how certain activities make them feel. This way, Lopez herself is accountable for what happens next, and ensuring everyone is comfortable with it.

Tip 3: Centre yourself as the mediator.

If you're dealing with challenges from all sides, like principals do, things can quickly escalate. To combat this, Lopez makes sure she keeps a level head by centring herself as the calm and rational mediator. 

In fact, being calm is so important to her that she tries to spend at least 15 minutes in complete silence.

People can have knee-jerk reactions to situations, and this can make conversations get heated quickly, so Lopez says she often runs situations past friends or family members before responding. This gives a new perspective on things, and often those close to you will be honest about how you could be doing something better. 

Writing things down is also a good idea, Lopez says, because it can help clear you head and weigh up whether something really is worth a fight or not.

In the tech industry, as in life, change is the only constant. 

Whether you're just starting out, you're angling for a better gig, or you're just trying to thrive right where you are, it's important that you're up-to-date with the latest technologies — or else you may already be behind the curve, as the hot new tech du jour replaces the old and busted.

"We see technologies being replaced by new technologies," says Julia Silge, a data scientist with Stack Overflow, the online hangout where programmers go to ask each other questions and find new careers.

On Thursday, Stack Overflow is releasing its ranking of the technologies for which demand by employers grew the fastest between 2015 and 2016, as told by the job postings on the Stack Overflow Careers site. The report also includes a few technologies that shrunk over the same period.

If you're trying to stay fresh and hone the right programming skills, these are the technologies to focus on:

Here's the chart showing the overall trends from the last year. You may notice one big theme: Demand for cloud computing skills is growing mightily. Stack Overflow's Julia Silge says it's a reflection of the increased complexity of the modern IT department.

Here's a breakdown of the fastest-growing skills:

#10: Automated tests — In a world where Facebook or Google are constantly updating their websites behind the scenes as often as twice a day, there's a high demand for developers who are skilled at the tools for automating software testing and finding bugs before they get in front of users.

On Tuesday, Porsche rounded out the 911 family with the introduction of its latest track-bred GT3 variant at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show.

At the heart of the new Porsche 911 GT3 is a 4.0 liter, naturally aspirated flat-six-cylinder engine producing 500 horsepower and 339 lb.-ft. of torque. As a result, the GT3 becomes the first of the 991.2 generation 911s to eschew turbocharging. 

Customers can option the GT3 with either a traditional six-speed manual transmission or a seven-speed twin-clutch PDK unit. 

The 2018 Porsche 911 GT3, which is expected to reach US showrooms this fall with a starting price of $143,600, is available with active rear-wheel steering and carbon fiber aerodynamic elements. 

According to Porsche, the PDK-equipped GT3 can sprint to 60mph in just 3.2 seconds and reach a top speed of 197 mph. In six-speed guise, the Porsche requires 3.8 seconds to reach 60mph before hitting 198 mph. 

Even though, the six speed is slower off the line, the holy combination of a clutch pedal with a naturally aspirated powerplant will be too much of a draw for Porsche purists to ignore.

There are few cars in the world more iconic than the Porsche 911. Over the years, the rear-engined sports car has gotten bigger, faster, and more technologically advanced. But its spirited driving dynamics and on-track capabilities have continued to make it a favorite among enthusiasts worldwide. 

However, you often hear the complaint that all current 911s pretty much look same. And if you ask critics such as ex-"Top Gear" host and longtime newspaper columnist Jeremy Clarkson, he'll tell you that all Porsche 911s since the model's debut in 1963 look identical.

The truth is, most of the various versions of the current generation of 911s do look similar, but they can all be identified by numerous subtle, but important differences.

Like Taco Bell in the fast-food industry, what Porsche has managed to do so successfully is create multiple iterations of the 911 by mixing and matching the same ingredients, and packaging them in a lot of different ways. And if you've ever driven a 911, you'll probably agree with me in saying ... there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

So here it is — the most current lineup of Porsche's 911 Taco Bell menu.

From the fame and fortune to the title and power, it's easy to see the appeal of being royal.

Throughout history, a number of normal people have claimed to be heirs to the throne in various royal families.

While some have been immediately disproven, a number have continued to be investigated, even after their death.

For David Drew Howe of Maryland, USA, a claim to the throne of the Isle of Man even resulted in a reality TV show following his fight to gain his title.

From modern day, working Americans claiming to be the King of England to a history steeped with Russian impostors, scroll on to see six of the most interesting people who have claimed to be royal.

Allan V. Evans — King of England

Allan V. Evans from Colorado, took out a giant ad in The Times earlier this month claiming to be the rightful King of England.

Evans, who says he is a descendant of a royal Welsh line from the 3rd century, said in the ad that he was giving "legal notice" to all of his relatives, and in 30 days would claim his "royal historic estate," as well as land, assets, and titles.

But he will wait for the death of Queen Elizabeth II to clinch his throne, he said, out of respect to her service to the country.

David Drew Howe — King of the Isle of Man

Auto-repair specialist David Drew Howe of Maryland, USA, claimed to be the heir to the throne of the Isle of Man and cousin to the Queen.

Howe made the discovery while researching his family ancestry online, according to The Daily Mail, and filed a notice of his intention to claim his title in the London Gazette in January 2007, which is the official journal of record for the British government. When his notice wasn't contested, he posted an "

When his notice wasn't contested, he posted an "official press release" claiming that as of April 2007, he was "fully legalised as the unchallenged lawful heir general and de jure King of the Independent Kingdom of Man."

A programme called "Suddenly Royal" on American TV network TLC followed Howe, his wife, Pam, and daughter, Grace as they travelled to the Isle of Man in 2015 to claim the title. They also learnt how to be royal with the help of an adviser and etiquette coach.

"Even though officially I am the king that doesn't really mean anything unless we can win the people of Isle of Man over," Howe said. He also claimed that he had been invited to Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding, but wasn't able to make the trip.

Katherine and Nerissa Bowes-Lyon — The Queen's 'Secret Sisters'

While there has never been doubt that Katherine and Nerissa Bowes-Lyon are in fact royal, little was known about the nieces of Queen Elizabeth – the Queen Mother — until a Channel 4 documentary titled "The Queen's Hidden Cousins" aired in 2011.

The documentary suggested that the Royal family behaved poorly towards Nerissa and Katherine, both of whom were disabled, according to The Telegraph. It was thought their mental disability was "a threat to society" at the time the sisters were born.

The two sisters were the children of John and Fenella Bowes-Lyon, the older brother and sister-in-law of Queen Elizabeth. "The Queen's Hidden Cousins" suggested John never visited his daughters as they grew up, although he died before they were incarcerated at the Royal Earlswood Asylum for Mental Defectives at Redhill in Surrey in 1941, according to The Daily Mail.

Nerissa died in 1986 at the age of 66, and Katherine died in 2014 at the age of 87, while living at a care home in Surrey — The Royal Earlswood closed in 1997. It was after Nerissa's death that journalists dicovered she was buried in a grave marked only by a name tag and a serial number, the Daily Mail reported.

The Daily Mail also said photographs showed a "distinct resemblance to the Queen."

Caffeine has plenty of benefits, but only in moderation. Too much can have negative effects on your brain and body. 

According to the Mayo Clinic, an average healthy adult can safely consume up to 400 mg of caffeine a day. You might be surprised how quickly you can reach that number: Just two Starbucks drip coffees will put you over the limit. 

The graphics below offer an inside look at the caffeine content of a variety of popular drinks. Where exact caffeine measurements were not available from manufacturers, we relied on estimates from the Center for Science in the Public Interest.

Whether we like it or not, 2017 is already roaring ahead at full steam.

And with the ever-present passage of time comes a bounty of brand-new video games. Are you prepared for a brand-new "Mass Effect" game? How about a brand-new Mario game on the brand-new Nintendo Switch console?

That's just for starters — this is 2017 in video games!

"Gravity Rush 2"

The original "Gravity Rush" is a gorgeous, ambitious cult-classic. It was released as an exclusive on Sony's PlayStation Vita handheld — a portable game console that sold less-than-impressively. Though the original game eventually ended up on other PlayStation platforms, fans (including us) are anxiously anticipating "Gravity Rush 2"— a full-fledged sequel to the original, made for the (far more powerful) PlayStation 4.

In "Gravity Rush 2," you are Kat: a woman with the ability to manipulate gravity. Take aim at a surface, press a button on the PS4 gamepad, and that surface becomes your new floor. It's the kind of experience that's fun enough on its own, without all the gorgeous artistry and mysterious storytelling.

"Resident Evil 7: Biohazard"

The latest main series entry in the long-running "Resident Evil" franchise is a bit of a reboot. Unlike the last several games in the series, "Resident Evil 7: Biohazard" doesn't focus on third-person action/combat. Instead, it's a survival horror game — that means low ammunition and health, with a focus on survival over mastery. It's also the first major entry in the series to move from third-person to first-person, in addition to being playable in entirety using the PlayStation VR headset with PlayStation 4.

"For Honor"

"For Honor" is a brand-new game from a major studio — Ubisoft Montreal, the "Assassin's Creed" folks — that takes thousands of years of human history and blends it into a fantastical slurry. Imagine battling as a viking warrior against a Japanese samurai! Or as a medieval knight against... one of those two! That's the gist of "For Honor," which arrives just in time to pit you and your Valentine against each other.

Spring is all about getting a fresh start. Trees get leaves again, flowers start to bloom, and the weather finally begins to pick back up. It's the perfect time to get outside and get active before the temperatures become unbearable. 

Here are 13 spring activities that will help you get rid of your winter blues and kick off a new, sunnier season.

1. Spend time outdoors

You've likely been locked up inside all winter trying to escape the cold temps, so the second the weather gets nice you should head outside. Go for a bike ride, explore the nearest national park, take a hike, or have a beach day.

It might seem like you have plenty of time to do those things over the next few months, but summer and its scorching temperatures tend to sneak up fast. Head outdoors before it's too hot to bear.

2. Get away

Spring breaks don't have to stop once you've graduated. Head out on a warm vacation, big or small, at least once this spring. You'll get away from any lingering cold weather and it'll give your mind a helpful refresh. 

Here are the 50 places you should travel to in 2017.

3. Go to a farmer's market or food festival

Several food festivals and farmers' markets have been closed all winter long so join them when they start back up again.

You can browse a variety of goods and support small, local businesses while shopping for all the fresh fruits and vegetables that are in season and taste testing the year's trendiest foods. 

There's now a yacht to match your Bugatti Chiron supercar.

Bugatti teamed up with yacht designer Palmer Johnson to create the Bugatti Niniette 66, a limited-edition sport yacht inspired by the Bugatti Chiron.

The Chiron is a stunning, $2.6 million sports car with a massive amount of power (1,500 hp, to be exact) that can reach a top speed of 261 mph.

Bugatti has been working with Palmer Johnson on the yacht project since 2015. Bugatti said potential buyers expressed interest after seeing the renderings, but asked for a closer connection to the Chiron that made its world premiere at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show. It should come as no surprise that Bugatti owners were among the prospective buyers.

Now Bugatti and Palmer Johnson have unveiled the results of their collaboration — a luxury sports yacht that doesn't skimp on power. Scroll down for a closer look:

The Bugatti Niniette is a 66-foot-long luxury yacht made of carbon fiber composite so it can really move. Bugatti said the yacht can reach a top speed of 44 knots.

The spacious open deck comes with leather seats and features naturally blue morta oak wood.

The lower deck comes with a champagne bar, sun pad, and plenty of open seats.

The INSIDER Summary:

• Locals give the best advice so put your trust in New York City's top concierges.
• Well-versed hotel concierges give advice on what to do and eat in the city.

Savvy travelers know that the quickest way to uncover New York's secrets is to solicit tips from the hardened locals who walk its streets each day. But this strategy has its limitations: even the most connected out-of-towner is unlikely to know New Yorkers in each of the city's varied neighborhoods. The wisest course of action? Supplement advice from your friends with tips from the professionals—those people whose livelihoods depend on their ability to cherry-pick the historic treasures and just-opened venues that will most impress visitors.

Every NYC fan and resident has a favorite attraction, but only a few understand how to single out spots that are both crowd-pleasing and authentic, hidden-away but not too obscure. That's why we decided to enlist concierges from 14 of New York's most characterful hotels to share their current highlights and all-time favorites. These experts, who hail from properties that all feel distinctively "New York," whether it's the glamorous Mark on the Upper East Side, the stately Peninsula in Midtown, or the boho-chic Bowery on the Lower East Side, are constantly sifting through information about the city's hotspots and comparing the latest openings with longstanding gems. Who better to provide us with the best of the best?

From hidden parks to unknown art galleries to secluded speakeasies, the concierges’ suggestions aren’t the sort that can be found in any guidebook. Compiled, these secrets are by no means definitive (after all, one of the most endearing things about New York is that it can be viewed from near-infinite angles). But this collection of tips forms an alternative guide to America's largest and most fascinating city—experience them all on your next trip to New York or hone in on one part of town and see what else you can find in the vicinity. Every suggestion is within walking distance of that concierge's hotel.

Bowne and Co. Stationers

"Bowne and Co. Stationers is one of my top 10 NYC shops," says Kyle Gray, host at Andaz Wall Street. "Though the South Street Seaport store has only been open since 1975, the company was founded in 1775. The shop is full of one-of-a-kind products, like sculptures made from salvaged New York street signs. It also houses one of the country's oldest still-functioning letterpresses. I always have a hard time walking out without buying something."

Ward III

"Behind a nondescript green facade you’ll find one of the best cocktail bars in the city at Ward III," says Smyth concierge Amanda Achmad. "Don't ask for a menu, but rather describe your favorite flavor profiles (such as sweet, sour, or spicy) to the bartender, and he or she will create a drink just for you. After a few cocktails, be sure to check out the small bites menu. I personally love the soft pretzel and deviled eggs."

Greenacre Park

"Greenacre Park on East 51st Street between 2^nd and 3rd Avenues is secluded and well-maintained," says Michael Romei, chef concierge (that’s hospitality-speak for "head concierge") of the Waldorf Astoria. "In addition to beautiful gardens and sculpture, there is a 25-foot waterfall that creates a serene atmosphere. The park is privately owned and was financed by Abby Rockefeller Mauze, the sixth child of the late John D. Rockefeller. For an authentic park picnic, stop first at Ess a Bagel on Third Avenue between 50th and 51st Streets to pick up some of the best bagels in the city."
