While discussing issues related to the Syrian conflict, U.S. President Obama is interrupted by a medical emergency during his news conference. ''We can get our doctors back there to help out,'' said Obama. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) STORY: President Barack Obama on Friday (December 16) defended the U.S. approach toward the civil war in Syria, saying he understood the desire for action to end the conflict but it would have been impossible to do "on the cheap" without a full U.S. military intervention. "Unless we were all in and willing to take over Syria, we were going to have problems," Obama told a news conference, noting that it would have required "putting large numbers of U.S. troops on the ground, uninvited, without any international law mandate." Obama's comments were interrupted by a medical emergency near the back of the White House briefing room. "We can get our doctors back there to help out," Obama said, as a person was helped to her feet.

Lonnie G. Thompson is a Distinguished University Professor in the School of Earth Sciences and a Research Scientist in the Byrd Polar Research Center at The Ohio State University. His research has propelled the field of ice core paleoclimatology out of the Polar Regions to the highest tropical and subtropical ice fields. He and the OSU team have developed light-weight solarpowered drilling equipment for acquisition of histories from ice fields in the tropical South American Andes, the Himalayas, and on Kilimanjaro. These paleoclimate histories have advanced our understanding of the coupled nature of the Earth's climate system. Special emphasis has been placed on the El Niño and monsoon systems that dominate the climate of the tropical Pacific and affect global-scale oceanic and atmospheric circulation patterns. His observations of glacier retreat over the last three decades confirm that glaciers around the world are melting and provide clear evidence that the warming of the last 50 years is now outside the range of climate variability for several millennia, if not longer. He has published 245 peer-reviewed publications including several in the journal Science, led 63 field programs, and secured 76 research grants as either the PI or as a Co-PI. Lonnie has been recognized with many honors and awards including the National Medal of Science, the Tyler Prize (the World Prize for Environmental Achievement), and the Dan David Prize. In addition, he is a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union and the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and an elected member of the American Philosophical Society and the National Academy of Sciences.

A 2005 Nissan Maxima is a full-sized sedan and can be intimidating for someone more used to compact coupes (like myself), but I have come to really enjoy this car. Anyone who has multiple passengers in the back seat, including a car seat, will appreciate the large back seat and with its V6 engine, it has a surprising amount of speed for a car its size. After 10 years, very little maintenance has been required outside the regular interval preventative maintenance and with the exception of one or two components it looks like a car 5 years younger. Accent and trim pieces have begun to show their age but the seats, interior, and paint still look fantastic.
When moving into our new home, my wife and myself traveled to IKEA, a typical flat-pack furniture store and, with both front seats forward, managed to pack most of our house in this car. We had a coffee table between the two front seats and It wasn't a comfortable ride, but we managed.
Good quality build. Surprisingly fast and comfortable to drive. Not a car where you "feel the road" Has maintained its looks for 10 years.
2005 Nissan Maxima - Great get around car. Good mileage.
I bought this car to get to and from work and get my kids to daycare. I bought it at a used car lot. I only paid $995.00 for it.
We were driving in the mountains and a deer completely jumped over the hood of the car. Scared us but there was no wreck.
Great, smooth riding car with great gas mileage. Very comfortable seating, sturdy frame and metal. It is hard to get knots in it, especially with children. My car has more than paid for itself in the time that I have had it. It was very dependable for quite some time.
Nowadays it is not passing emissions, so I am going to have to get that fixed or scrap the car. There was a problem a couple years back with gas leaking out of it. But that was repaired.

The World's Mismanagement of COVID-19 Vaccines
Writer: Harry Zhao
Editor: Veronica Yung
Graphic Designer: Pat Sevikul
A crucial aspect of diminishing the impact and increasing the chance of recovery from the pandemic is the administration of the COVID-19 vaccine. However, the distribution of and access to vaccines are not equal for all groups of people due to the mismanagement of healthcare resources. The irresponsible management of vaccines causes serious shortages, putting countless lives at risk and hindering herd immunity. People from disadvantaged backgrounds and locations have more difficulty obtaining the vaccines, even when they are more susceptible to the virus and its impacts. These disparities leave these communities overlooked and unprotected.
Minority Groups:
In many developed countries such as the USA, minority groups such as POC and Indigenous Americans are at a higher risk of contracting diseases and disease-related deaths and hospitalisation, and feel a greater impact from the pandemic. This is greatly due to social factors such as lower and less stable income, working in professions that expose them to viruses, and limited access to healthcare systems. Yet at the same time, these barriers also mean that African-, Asian- and Latino-Americans are also less likely to take vaccinations against COVID-19 due to implicit racism in healthcare and the perceived likelihood of contracting the virus while attending medical care, discouraging them from getting the vaccination.
Among the LGBTQ+ community and ethnic minorities, there is an increased mistrust and skepticism towards the vaccine. Studies of the attitudes of LGBTQ+ community towards vaccination show that Black participants express less inclination take the vaccination than their white peers. This stems partly from the historical biases in the medical system against these demographics, which causes them to feel uncertain about taking the vaccine. Transgender people may fear that the vaccination's side effects will affect their hormones, and similarly many are concerned about the vaccination's manufacturing process. The lack of inclusive information and representation of minorities in the vaccination process causes hesitancy, especially when compounded with socioeconomic factors.
In Less Developed/Developing Countries:
There is a disproportionate amount of vaccines bought by developed countries, with the G7 countries purchasing a third of the world's vaccines despite only making up 13% of the total population. This leaves other countries with an insufficient amount to fully combat COVID-19. Currently, only 2% of the population in low-income countries has taken their first shot, compared to developed countries with over half of their is population vaccinated. Leaders from these countries accuse richer countries of vaccine nationalism and vaccine hoarding. Peru, which has the highest COVID-19 mortality rates in the world but only 30% of its population vaccinated, claims that international solidarity has failed to support poorer countries. The African continent is especially vulnerable, with 900 million more people awaiting vaccination in order to achieve herd immunity; otherwise, Africa is defenseless against newer, more ferocious variants of the virus.
An example of vaccine mismanagement in low-income countries is found in Myanmar. For the Rohingya people, who have been displaced under persecution from the Myanmar military, there has been no plan from the Burmese government to offer them vaccination. Many Rohingya muslims reside in densely-packed camps in Rakhine state, with 100 thousand people housed in Sittwe alone, with resources being depleted for those who remain in villages. Although many people are getting sick, and some older people have died, the Rohingya people are not considered a priority group for vaccination. They still suffer restrictions, such as the inability to go to the hospital to get COVID-19 tests. Many are also distrustful of the healthcare system in Myanmar. For the one million Rohingya refugees residing in camps in Bangladesh, vaccinations have only begun in mid-August.
Covax:
Since 2020, the UN agencies Unicef and WHO have begun the Covax scheme for low-income countries to receive COVID-19 vaccines, with the costs being subsidised by higher-income countries. Covax tries to ensure that these countries can make vaccines accessible for their population, especially priority groups such as healthcare workers and the elderly. Through Covax, over 303 billion doses of the vaccine have already been delivered to 142 countries. However, the scheme is still flawed; the delivery of vaccines is slow and often obstructed due to poor medical infrastructure in target countries, and vaccine hesitancy means that the actual administration of vaccines is even lower. With only a small portion of promised vaccines arriving but also expiring within days of arrival, there is an urge for an accelerated vaccine donation plan.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the inequity of healthcare access for minority groups and less-developed countries has been greatly exacerbated. Mistrust of the healthcare system and unequal distribution of vaccines decreases vaccine uptake for those who are most susceptible to the virus, and hinders the progress towards global immunity. We must urge developed countries to keep their word to bring timely donations to lower-income countries, and to reduce vaccine hesitancy among minority groups by spreading inclusive, tailored information, increasing confidence and ease of access to vaccinations.

Go Archers - December 10, 2013
La Salle vs SWU Game Reaction: Dog Day Afternoon
A former heralded recruit getting back at his old team. A relatively less hyped championship squad from the South breezing into town and playing out the perfect underdog story. A jubilant Southwestern University crowd with clenched fists at the final buzzer after seeing their home team knock down the top guns of the UAAP. Welcome to the PCCL.
Right from the opening tip, the Southwestern University Cobras showed they came out to play as former Green Archer Mac Tallo scored the first basket of the game on a hard drive to the basket. Despite Jason Perkins and most of the La Salle relievers establishing a comfortable lead in the first quarter, it was clear the Cobras had more energy and intensity as they kept pushing the ball and going strong inside.
SWU's offense got going in the second quarter with Monbert Arong scoring on a variety of layups and the Green Archers turning the ball over too many times for comfort, somewhat struggling to find a consistent source of baskets in the absence of Arnold Van Opstal.
After a low scoring first half, always ominous for a usually fluid offensive machine like the Green Archers, the third quarter pretty much stayed the same, with Arong, Tallo, Adams Mohammed and Landry Sanjo ensuring the Cobras were always within striking distance against mostly La Salle's second stringers with a healthy balance of running the floor and inside presence.
Admittedly, we were all waiting for the Green Archers to enforce their will and drive home the win. It was just a matter of time, as we've all been accustomed to since the second round of the recently concluded men's UAAP basketball season. But in the final four minutes, things began heating up. And in an already humid and stuffy basketball venue on a lazy Monday afternoon, it all made for good basketball.
Maybe it was the healthy crowd of SWU supporters cheering a bit louder and rising up after every basket, compounded with the extra aggressiveness suddenly exuding from the Green archers as the Cobras weren't just playing to merely keep the game interesting anymore, but a loss for the UAAP champions to open the final four round of the PCCL suddenly didn't seem too farfetched.
With Almond Vostros and Jason Perkins missing potential game winners to end regulation, the SWU dominated overtime 16-6, with Melvin Holper sinking two triples complete with invisible guns twirled and holstered. I guess that one's for you, Jeric Teng. And with Arong draining a three of his own with 1:16 left, a nine point lead finally put the game out of reach for La Salle.
Despite the current tournament not garnering the same crowd support, media hype and off court buzz as the UAAP or NCAA, I for one wouldn't mind at all ending the year by calling the Green Archers national champions. But as the history of the PCCL has proven, this league is its own hoops animal, allowing grudges to be repaid and champions to be on the receiving end. In less than two weeks a new national collegiate champion will be crowned, and the format doesn't allow much time for peaking or getting back into one's comfort zone.
Having now only lost thrice in tournament play since July 28, it is difficult to nitpick at a team that brought us all to the ranks of greatness, especially during a UAAP season when most of us least expected it. Difficult, but necessary.
Obviously one has to start with the stalled halfcourt offense in the absence of Van Opstal. Clearly without a consistent and legitimate low post threat, the rest of the offense stalls, especially if the Green Archers don't hit from the outside, going 28.3% and 18.8% from 2-point and 3-point range respectively. La Salle tried to establish Jason Perkins down low in the endgame, but he couldn't do it on his own as SWU's defense clamped down by not giving up space, taking away the passing lanes and altering numerous shots.
Almond Vostros and Jeron Teng also didn't seem to be in their usual offensive comfort zones, while we now feel the absence of LA Revilla's ability to beat a full court press all on his own. With 23 turnovers, the Green Archers really can't expect to win games handily. Throw in La Salle's inability to dominate the boards in the usual fashion, maybe it all boils down to intensity and aggressiveness.
As always, I'm a glass half full type of person, seeing all players get adequate minutes, breaking into the scoring column and relievers like Matt Salem and Robert Bolick sacrificing their bodies by setting hard screens, taking charges and scrambling for the loose ball. So I'm quite certain the dust from this loss can be shrugged off without being complacent as we face a FEU team with a legitimate grudge against us later today.
As others may have noticed as well, Coach Juno Sauler's strongest five—Teng, Vosotros, Perkins, Norbert and Thomas Torres—started playing with that extra juice in their step as the game started winding down and SWU was clearly out to claim an upset win. That five stayed on the floor for about the final 9 minutes of the game, breathing heavily at times yet trying to find the will the win. Never having been person to question a team I respect, I am confident a wake up call was made even before yesterday's game was over.
As much as it is true when SWU's Coach Alcoseba told his team that you can't think you don't have a chance when you step on the floor, you can't think you've won a game without having even played it yet either. More than witnessing the championship celebration and revelry that occurs behind closed doors, I've always been interested in a Coach Sauler dugout after a loss. After all, that's what turned a maligned team in the first round of the UAAP into a great one two weeks later.
At the end of the day, whether La Salle's knockout game happens between FEU or San Beda, depending on the outcome of the games between the other teams, this is a tournament where no team is just happy to be here. It really is all about pride. Championship pride. Welcome to the PCCL.

Greetings from Afghanistan. It's always interesting to be in a place like this when a story like Wikileaks breaks. The media have played the big embarrassments–Khaddafi and his Ukrainian "nurse"–and, in all, American diplomats have emerged with their credibility and creativity affirmed. (As the father of a Foreign Service Officer, I'm not surprised.) But there is much more to this story than that.
I am tremendously concernced about the puerile eruptions of Julian Assange. Let's say you're an American diplomat in a provincial reconstruction team in Kandahar Province. Let's say you're a woman, reporting on the conditions of women in this largely Taliban-controlled area. Let's say you mention one or two of your contacts in a cable. They are now extremely vulnerable–indeed, they are likely to be rounded up, defigured or murdered for merely talking to the Americans. This is not improbable, it is likely–and even m0re likely in a country like China, with the resources to examine every last one of the 250,000 documents leaked. These are not the sort of stories that make it into the news, but they are where the real collateral damage occurs.
If a single foreign national is rounded up and put in jail because of a leaked cable, this entire, anarchic exercise in "freedom" stands as a human disaster. Assange is a criminal. He's the one who should be in jail.

Upcoming Conference Supports STEM Growth
Exploring opportunities to grow Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) businesses in the Northern Virginia area is the focus of an upcoming conference co-hosted by the Donald W. Steele, Sr. Memorial Chapter of the Air Force Institute and George Mason University's Serious Game Institute and Volgenau School of Engineering on June 29, 2018. The daylong event will be held at George Mason University's Science and Technology Campus in Manassas, Virginia.
"Growing the STEM for a Stronger Tomorrow" will bring together leaders representing a number of key stakeholders from around the country including Booz Allen Hamilton, the Pew Research Center and Nintendo as well as leaders from government agencies, education, military service organizations, and tech companies.
"While we often talk about the burgeoning field of technology here in Northern Virginia, we need to take a closer look at bridging critical STEM gaps in gender, race and socioeconomic arenas that affect America's future workforce," says Dean of the Volgenau School of Engineering, Ken Ball. "Moreover, we want to address the need to support tech startups in this area and create a positive environment to encourage future tech business ventures."
According to information, the conference — targeted to government employees, industry members, academia and students — is free for students and educators, active duty military, and state and federal government employees.
"We encourage our associates from area school districts, government leaders, and government agency to join us to work toward a solution that benefits the development of this important field and support its growth in our region," says Kammy Sangehara, executive director of STEM Outreach for the Volgenau School of Engineering.

Meet Our Developers
By Ashley EnglishMay 25, 2021May 26th, 2021No Comments
A few months ago, we introduced our Chief Technology Officer, Daniel Galarza. Now we are pleased to feature the other two members of our development team: Caleb Lewis and Nick Landkamer. Caleb is a longtime member of our team, while Nick joined us in late March of this year.
"Neapolitan Labs created some lofty goals in 2020," says Neapolitan Labs Chief Business Officer Caley Lewis. "To hit those goals, there were two areas we needed to expand: tech/product development and sales. The first order of business was to bring in Daniel as CTO and then have him help bring in the talent needed to build all the products on our roadmap."
Caleb Lewis
As our lead developer, Caleb works on the back end of our content management systems.
"Caleb's been an integral part of Mint Chip Lab for more than five years, joining our team before our Neapolitan Labs for Education or Mint Chip Lab platforms existed," says Neapolitan Labs President Brian McMillin.
"Caleb's our expert for both of our proprietary content management systems and takes the lead in building and updating our modules to meet the needs of our clients.
Brian McMillinPresident
Caleb Lewis, Lead Developer
Caleb has been strengthening his development skills since college where he earned a minor in computer science with his business management degree.
One of his favorite aspects of development is that there are always new skills to master. And with Neapolitan Labs, in addition to trying out new development strategies, Caleb loves getting to know more about the industries of our clients and how to make them happy.
"I enjoy learning about all of the new clients we sign-on, like the counties in Iowa and the schools," Caleb says. "You just learn something new every day."
In the future, Caleb hopes to continue to grow and expand his skills to take on more development work and meet our clients' needs.
"It's the same big goal as Neapolitan Labs' overall: just keep growing," he says.
Caleb is married to our Chief Business Officer, Caley Lewis. They have two daughters who keep him busy with their basketball, gymnastic, and ballet pursuits. As Kansas City fans, Caleb and his family try to go to a Chiefs or Royals game every year.
Nick Landkamer
As our front-end developer, Nick works closely with Daniel on our websites and our newest mobile app project.
"As we grow our tech and product roster, we are extremely excited to have these key team member additions like Nick to help us achieve our goals as a company.
Caley LewisChief Business Officer
Nick Landkamer, Front-end Developer
"Nick was brought on to help us pursue cutting-edge technologies as a new way of building our websites," Daniel says. "From day one, Nick has helped us learn new JavaScript-based tools and wield them to create even more of the elegant experiences Neapolitan Labs is known for."
Nick has a background working with C#, SQL, and APIs. He decided to pursue programming after realizing how much he enjoyed using Microsoft's programming language, VBA, in Excel spreadsheets at a former job.
"I just really enjoy that kind of stuff; it stimulates my mind, and that's really what programming is," Nick says. "I always try to get my wife into it, but she absolutely hates it. It's not for everybody, but it's absolutely for me."
Like Caleb, Nick enjoys that there's always something new to learn in programming.
"There's always a push to learn more and more," Nick says. "And that's just my personality, to always be learning."
"Since joining, Nick has already assisted with development on one of our mobile app projects, as well as the build-out of a brand new website using our new web architecture. We are very grateful and excited to have Nick and all the expertise he brings!
Daniel GalarzaChief Technology Officer
Nick and his wife, Kristina, have three children and seven pets: three dogs, two frogs, and two hermit crabs. In addition to his development work, he also teaches guitar and drum lessons. His newest hobby takes him to new heights flying a DJI drone.

Femme Fatales is Meredith Kalaman's poetic trio for three women that blends narrative and contemporary dance to bring to light the impact of gender socialization. The work takes a thought provoking look at our historical past of gender defined roles and behaviors to illuminate the impact on today. Full of both pleasure and angst, this work dives into the heart of what makes us who we are.
The full length work will premiere from May 3-6, 2017 at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts.


The music business is certainly a numbers game, and for many artists that can be a frustrating experience that interferes with their creative process. Luckily many musicians have outside passions, both artistic and personal, to cleanse their palette, so to speak. Take former Hole and Smashing Pumpkins bassist Melissa Auf der Maur, who has been focusing on raising her seven month-old girl. (While we chatted by phone recently, she was taking her baby out for a stroll.) She also has at least one photography book project on her mind. The bassist/songwriter still has plenty of musical fire left — she released her last solo album Out Of Our Minds, linked with multimedia offshoots, in 2010 — but what lies outside of that has nourished her more spiritually as of late. I spoke with Auf der Maur for the Grammy.com feature "Musicians' Extracurricular Activities" with relation to her photography work — including self-portraits and live candid shots — which she says has been for purely artistic rather than any monetary considerations.
Auf der Maur came into musical prominence performing with Hole and the Smashing Pumpkins during the 1990s, a time when rock music became stripped down, less interesting and when there were less rock stars around. While rock music came back in the '00s through exciting bands like Muse and My Chemical Romance, it generally did not have quite the same fire as before, particularly for those of us who grew up on it during the Eighties. One could argue that there really hasn't been anything truly edgy in mainstream rock 'n' roll since the mid-'90s.

Difference between Adderall and Vyvanse
Adderall vs Vyvanse:
While ADHD is a syndrome which is in fact treatable, Adderall and Vyvanse are two drugs which are prescribed for its treatment which are indeed the most popular of them all. They are both manufactured by manufactured by Shire PLC and contain serious side effects and also, they are both considered as amphetamine salts and are Schedule II substances.
What is Adderall ?
Adderall XR is a mix of 4 different d and l-amphetamines (dextroamphetamine and levo) which makes it a very strong and an effective drug against ADHD. Its effects are released by bead technology and is likely to have more pronounced side effects such as irritability, reduced apetite, headache, dry mouth, insomnia, nervousness and increased levels of anxiety. And yet, it is the much older form of ADHD treatment which is also quite popular because of its affordable price.
What is Vyvanse?
Vyvanse is a recently released prodrug, which must be orally ingested to activate its main ingredient, lisdexamfetamine dimesylate. It becomes an active amphetamine, once it passes through the liver, a protein chain is taken off the medication. Thus, the potential side effects of Vyvanse is considered as being much lower than most ADD/ADHD drugs. It also provides consistent ADD/ADHD symptom control for up to 12 hours and is usually swallowed whole or it can be broken up and mixed with water, ice cream, applesauce, or yogurt as well.
What is the difference between Vyvanse and Adderall?
While both the drugs share the same arena of ADHD treatment, these two drugs contain quite different properties. First and foremost, Adderall remains the much older drug which is popular because of its affordable price. Vyvanse is a recently released drug which is considered as more costly than Adderall.
Also, while Vyvanse consists 100% of d-amphetamine (dextroamphetamine), Adderall consists of a combination of 4 different types of d and l-amphetamines (dextroamphetamine and levo). While the mix in Adderall may affect in making the drug stronger than Vyvance, it is also cause for pronounced side effects such as irritability, reduced appetite, headache, dry mouth, insomnia, nervousness and increased levels of anxiety. Yet, the side effects are Vyvanse are not known to be as severe.
Vyvanse is a drug that is released via digestion, while Adderall is released by bead technology and can be taken in various methods such as standard oral administration, parachuting, insulation, rectal administration, or through IV/IM injection. This method of release by digestion of Vivance results in a much smoother effect on the body which lasts longer and also, the food that one eats does not affect the effects of the drug. And yet, Adderall is known to be affected by the food that one takes and the patient is therefor ad viced to be careful about what he or she consumes.
While Adderall and Vyvanse both are used to treat ADHD, Adderall is known to be the older drug whereas Vyvanse is quite new.
Adderall is more effective and has more adverse side effects, whereas the side effects of Vyvanse are not as severe.
Adderall is released by bead technology while Vyvanse is released through digestion. Vyvanse cannot thus be affected by the food that one consumes while Adderal can.
Vyvanse is more expensive than Adderall and because of its novelty in the market, may not be covered by insurances as well.

Best PUBG Mobile & Fortnite alternatives: CoD Mobile, Free Fire, Battlelands Royale, and more
There's no shortage of great battle royale games on Android.

PUBG Mobile is one of the best battle royale games on Android, and the best part about is that it works reliably even on budget phones. But with the Indian government banning PUBG Mobile and PUBG Mobile Lite, fans of the game have to look elsewhere to get their battle royale fix.
PUBG Mobile isn't the only game to be banned recently. Fortnite was removed from the Play Store a few weeks ago for contravening Google's payment rules. The game is still available to sideload on Android phones, and if you're using a Samsung phone, you can install it directly from the Galaxy Store.
But with both PUBG Mobile and Fortnite facing issues with availability, what are your options if you're interested in playing battle royale games on your Android phone? Thankfully, there's no shortage of similar titles, and we've rounded up the best PUBG Mobile and Fortnite alternatives below.
Pixel's Unknown Battle Ground
Source: Android Central
Call of Duty: Mobile is the obvious choice if you're looking for an alternative to PUBG Mobile. The game has over 100 million downloads, runs fine on budget phones, and takes up just over 1.7GB of storage.
Like PUBG Mobile, CoD Mobile is free-to-play and offers a 100-player battle royale mode along with 5v5 deathmatch and a sniper vs sniper duel. You get the ability to play multiplayer maps from the likes of CoD Black Ops and CoD Modern Warfare, and you can customize your character with various outfits, weapons, and unlock new characters.
Call of Duty Mobile is published by U.S.-based Activision, and with an active community along with regular updates, it is the ideal alternative to PUBG Mobile and Fortnite.
Call of Duty Mobile is one of the best battle royale games on Android today, with exciting game modes and plenty of character customization options available. It works on just about any phone, has great visuals, and it is the best alternative to PUBG Mobile and Fortnite right now.

Free Fire is another game that emulates PUBG's playbook. The battle royale game offers a 50-player survival mode, with rounds lasting 10 minutes. Like PUBG, you get to drive vehicles and choose from a variety of customization options for your character, and the game routinely gets new content.
You can also play in squads of up to four players, and there's a shorter 4v4 Clash Squad format that just debuted in August 2020. The best part about Free Fire is that the game takes up just over 500MB of storage, and it is optimized incredibly well for budget phones. Free Fire is made by Singapore's Garena, and with over 500 million installs, it is one of the biggest battle royale titles on Android.
Free Fire has been in the market for several years, and it has a massive userbase. It routinely gets new content and game modes, the rounds last 10 minutes on average, and you can drive vehicles — just like PUBG Mobile.

Battlelands Royale introduces a fun twist to the battle royale genre. The game has fun characters and lets you play solo or create a squad, with each round lasting just three to five minutes on average. The 32-player survival mode follows the same premise as other games in this category: parachute in to a desired location on the map, grab some loot, shoot other players, and be the last one standing.
The game is designed for mobile devices, and runs incredibly well on just about any phone. It takes up just over 200MB of storage on your phone, the visuals are great, and you get plenty of customization options for your character. The game is made by Finland-based Futureplay, and it currently has over 10 million downloads.
Battlelands Royale is a battle royale game, and it has a distinct twist because of the fun characters. You get the same sort of game mechanics as PUBG Mobile with the 32-player survival mode, but it is more relaxed.

Pixel's Unknown Battle Ground is basically PUBG Mobile with a slight change: the characters and the visuals are pixel-themed. You get a similar survival game mode as PUBG, and there's the option to play as a team with your friends. You can drive various vehicles, the controls are intuitive, and if you're missing PUBG Mobile, this is a decent enough clone.
The game also has loads of skins and customization options, and you can buy weapons and outfits for your character. Pixel's Unknown Battle Ground has over 50 million installs, and it works fine on budget phones with the settings turned down to low or medium.
What if you take PUBG Mobile and pixelate the characters? You get Pixel's Unknown Battle Ground. The game is a decent clone of PUBG Mobile, and you get a similar set of game modes and character customization options.
What PUBG Mobile and Fortnite alternatives are you interested in?
There are plenty of battle royale titles on Android, and while it's a shame that PUBG Mobile and Fortnite are facing issues, there are fallback choices. What battle royale game are you now interested in playing? Let us know in the comments below.
Grab a controller
Enjoy your favorite games with these controllers and the NVIDIA Shield TV
The NVIDIA Shield TV lets you enjoy couch multiplayer gaming experiences again, thanks to the excellent support for third-party Bluetooth controllers! Unfortunately, there are a lot of controllers to choose from, so you'll want to find a great balance of form and function to hold up for those long gaming sessions.


There are several places online to play poker. If you live in Europe or places in Asia you can access more casinos than those in the USA. I will try to make sure I post options for both. You won't find these options in the app store or the play store. The only ones I can ever find are for tokens, not real money. Some of these casinos you can play online but others you will have to download. Most casinos have mobile options now too.
Most of the online casinos have options to play poker but their main draw in slots. There will be tons of different slots but few real poker games.

Nobel Prize: Trio of scientists honored for discovering Hepatitis C virus
The discovery has likely saved millions.
in Health & Medicine, News, Science
Harvey J. Alter, Michael Houghton and Charles M. Rice have been awarded for the discovery of hepatitis C virus, a breakthrough that led to tests and cures for the dangerous disease.
"For the first time in history, the disease can now be cured, raising hopes of eradicating hepatitis C virus from the world," the Nobel Committee said in announcing the prize in Stockholm.
Scientists had long known about the hepatitis A and B viruses, but they were poking in the dark trying to find the hepatitis (hep) C virus. It took decades of work from Americans Harvey J. Alter and Charles M. Rice and British-born scientist Michael Houghton to make that breakthrough.
As is often the case, the Nobel Prize was awarded to breakthroughs that made a practical difference in the world — and this certainly fit the bill. Identifying the hepatitis C virus has led to efficient screens for the virus, making blood supplied for transfusions much safer than it was in the past. Up until the 1960s, medics were gravely concerned about a number of people receiving blood transfusions containing a mysterious infectious agent. That turned out to be the hep C virus.
"We take it for granted that if you get a transfusion, you're not going to get sick from that transfusion. That was not the case before but is certainly the case now," Rice said in an interview with AP. Before the tests, the risk of contracting the disease from a transfusion was about 1 in 10, now it's closer to 1 in a million.
The discovery paved the way for treatments to save thousands every year. This is currently the only chronic viral infection that can be reliably cured, using one of several potent drugs. Without treatment, the virus can cause liver scars, cancer, or even damage requiring a liver transplant.
However, despite remarkable progress, the disease still affects over 70 million people every year, killing 400,000. We have the technology to save these people, it's all about making the drugs cheaper and more available.
"What we need is the political will to eradicate it" and to make the drugs affordable enough to do it, Alter said.
The award comes at a very important time for the medical community around the world. In a statement, the Nobel Assembly said the isolation of Hepatitis C had marked a "landmark achievement in the ongoing battle against viral diseases".
"It takes time before it's fully apparent how beneficial a discovery is," said Thomas Perlmann, secretary-general of the Nobel Committee.
This serves as a stark reminder that dealing with COVID-19 isn't something that will happen overnight — even for a disease that's been studied for decades and for which treatment exists, making it really go away with treatment alone is turning to be a massive challenge.
"To control an epidemic, you need to have a vaccine," Houghton said. For "diseases like gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, we've had cheap drugs available for decades, and yet we still have big epidemics of those diseases."
As for the three new laureates, they weren't exactly hugging the phone in expectation. Perlmann struggled to reach Alter and Rice by phone.
"I had to call a couple of times before they answered," Perlmann said. "They seemed very surprised and very, very happy."
The Nobel Prize for Medicine is pretty much the highest recognition you can obtain in the field. The prize honors great minds that made breakthrough discoveries that better the world, with an emphasis on science that paved the way for practical applications. The prize also comes with 10 million Swedish kronor (over $1.1 million), as was requested by the prize's creator, Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel, 124 years ago.

In the beginning of 2009, I had been back in Finland for a bit over a year after having lived on/off in France for several years. I had just met Hubby, and I was working as a flight attendant. I was living alone in a tiny but central flat.
I traveled so much in my line of work back then, that when I was at home, I kept automatically reaching for my phone to call room service!
It culminated in stores running out of toilet paper for a brief moment!
I remember it was that very winter, because I had just returned home from a long work trip and long work shift, it was the middle of the night and all the shops were closed. I was hungry and my fridge was empty. But I had to wait until the morning for the grocery stores to open.
But never mind! At least food wasn't on strike!
I'm surprised that my photo is now telling me the location of this shot: Laccadive Sea. I didn't know my old camera was able to register that on its own!
These two shots are from the Maldives, January 11, 2009. I didn't take many photos back then, I was busy living in the moment. I have less than ten shots from the Maldives. Only one with me in it!
Working night shifts and always arriving home at odd hours, sleeping til noon to get my 8 hours of beauty sleep (sometimes much, much more), all that meant that I never had any food in the fridge. Traveling away for a week at a time, it would have gone bad anyway. Shops were never open when I would've had a moment to visit them. Helsinki was not a 24/7 town back then.
Now, ten years later, things are quite different! No traveling for me, no sleep either – but our fridge is always full. I do my grocery shopping online and have it delivered at our doorstep.
The airlines I worked for had plenty of rules and one of them was that you weren't allowed to post work photos on social media (or elsewhere online). Especially not in uniform. It was a safety issue, they said, as well as a company reputation issue.
So, while many flight attendants did indeed pose on the okay-part of a large plane's engine or smile at the camera while peeking from an overhead bin, those photos were never meant to be published, they were to remain private. Sounds kind of boring now, doesn't it?!
Also, if a passenger took your photo (not to mention filmed you!), you were to politely ask them to delete it immediately! Luckily that never happened. I always feared that potentially embarrassing, awkward moment.
Now, I don't have the latest facts, but I suspect airlines would have had to give up on this photography ban of theirs long ago!
Thank you everyone who participated in the Friendly Friday photo challenge I hosted last week!! I was thrilled, beyond thrilled, to receive so many responses! I hope you all become regulars!
This week, the Friendly Friday party (aka photo challenge) is over at Amanda's blog, so please hop over there and have a look! She's written a beautiful post on pathways.
Funny how things change, don't they? I enjoyed the post!
Thanks! 🙂 10 years have gone by very quickly!
I remember when photography was not a thing. I felt special back them! Now I feel ill-equiped! Taking photo has become as common has ordering a take away coffee. Almost everybody does it!
As for the life paths… I guess there has been junctions and cross roads where you decided to turn left or right instead of staying on Main Street!
And yes, I remember that time too. So bizarre. Now everyone wants to be like we have always been, we who had penpals back in letter days.
Letter days, photography days… Aaaaargh nostalgia!!
You also had penpals? I wonder how many penpals became bloggers? There are at least two of us.
There are many of us! I once mentioned it in a post and got so many comments from bloggers saying they had penpals! I guess it's a certain type of person who likes to interact across borders + write!
That is so interesting. Blogging must take the place of penpalling! Yes I think you are right, about the desire to know others from around the world – their similarities and their differences. I gained so much from my penfriends and quite a few of us managed to meet up and become lifelong friends! It is special! Did you have any penpals from Australia? I had one from Finland!
Indeed, and I think we probably have a much rounder view of the cultural diversity of the world. I came to penpalling overseas later – prior to that it was childhood friends in Australia or who left Australia to go say to America. I had a 5 penpals in Indonesia and then later, a girl from Denmark. When she stopped writing, my son said to me, just get some more penpals Mum. From then, I wrote to many Scandinavian friends, the majority of whom I still keep in touch with and have met, stayed with or toured around Scandinavia with. Some have been out to visit me in Australia. That was fun. It is such an enriching experience, however, one penfriend just dumped me because I wasn't able to write frequently enough for her! Oh dear!
I obviously wasn't what she wanted out of a friendship, mind you, we had been writing for about 6 years or so….
So nice to read your post reminiscing over the last ten years, I enjoyed hearing about your life then. Congratulations on launching your photo challenge, it looks fun!
Also, a funny toilet paper crises story. As I was reading about your eagerness to wait for the stores to open, I was vividly reminded of the time when I returned from California and my whole world turned around, meaning night and day switched, and I was up all nights with the guy I was with in the USA and we had to wait for the shops to open not to get breakfast but to get dinner. 😀 And then sleep. Ahh, crazy times.
What a change in lifestyle you've had over ten years. I don't suppose you ever hanker after the good old days'.
Oh my, this little challenge you mention has me looking back and realizing that it's been 10 years since I went to China by myself, had kids still at home, and so many other things that seem both very recent (China) and very long ago (my babies at home 😦 ). I loved reading about your flight attendant years and all the rules; that has to be one of the jobs that has really seen some changes over the years. (Random detour: there were some great 60s and 70s posters of Hawaiian Airlines flight attendants in the airports in Hawaii, and they looked so cool in their go-go boots and poofy hair!) Anyway, I hope you are pleased with where you have landed ten years later. I think I am for the most part!
I'm pleased, yes 🙂 It's funny how time never seems right: too fast or too slow, feels like ages ago or feels like yesterday!
Golden days eh? I like the photos, geotagged or not. 190 years ago I was in the middle of a house expansion project back in Washington State, just a couple of months before visiting Hawaii for the first time!
Oh-oh, sounds like that house project lost to Hawaii! 🙂 I would've made the same choice!
Ooops. Yes, I'm not that old!
Ooh yes, it's a fine line!! I also had a colleague (male) who was dismissed for appearing at the hotel's breakfast very hungover, though we weren't flying for days. I never did do the overhead bin photo… not my style really 🤣I'm a bit boring sometimes!
Time flies doesn't it!! It's crazy how much has changed in just 10 years!
That's true! It would be good to slow it down sometimes!
It is always a pleasure to read your posts, Snow and this was once again, a pleasure to read. Indeed your pathways have taken you to many different places! I laughed at your note paper to say no toilet paper. That was desperate times! We do take so much for granted now. We expect a shop to be open somewhere all the time. And how quickly we forget the limitations of having a finite film in the camera or a finite sim and no cloud storage?
You are a fantastic co-host! Thanks for your support.
In any case, yes, it's amazing how life can change so much in such a short period! 10 years ago I was a law student in Spain and never though about leaving my country… Since then, I met my husband, we moved to Sweden, got married, then moved to Ireland, then I started to take photos and now we're in Switzerland!!! All of this is so different to what I could imagine my life would be 10 years ago….
Thank you for sharing a piece of your life. Almost all the things that happen to us is unexpected. But it is a relief to find that everything turned out good or better.
There are many things you can control, too 😊 Thanks for reading!!
imagine how many more photos are taken worldwide in a year today as compared to 20 years ago!
So true!!!!! Things really have changed quite a lot!
Always enjoy reading such posts from you, Snow 🙂 The last photo evokes in me a longing to be somewhere warm and tropical and by the water. One can dream 😊 You've been to so many places! Quite an experience 🙂 I read somewhere that Finns are the nationality that travel the most hehe!
Imagine not being on social media and not showing off your pictures these days! Just 10 years things were much different. I feel so disconnected from the mindset of today's teenagers (like my sister! 😀 ) and their obsession with social media.. although I am in my 20s.
10 years ago I was a typical teenager getting bored out of my mind in the high school and going through awkward moments and crushes and heartbreaks haha. So cringeworthy to look back on it. It's scary how fast time flies! I hope that life gets better with age and that youth is not everything!! Because that's slipping away real fast..
And yes, definitely more living in the moment when off camera, some of my loveliest memories of travels are those where I didn't even take one with me!
Yep! Sometimes it happens very slowly though… airlines are quite conservative, in my experience!
Times certainly have changed, it doesn't even seem that long ago!

Global humanitarian agencies list conflict, migration and climate among top priorities for 2019
Humanitarian agencies surveyed by the Thomson Reuters Foundation have said they are bracing for "a challenging new year" tackling conflicts from Yemen to Central African Republic and escalating crises such as people from Venezuela fleeing turmoil at home.
In one of 12 edited responses, IFRC Secretary General Elhadj As Sy listed "community engagement, emergency health care, water and sanitation services" as part of an effort to prepare for the next pandemic as the organization's top priority for 2019.
Protecting "missing millions" of migrants on the move, women and children, and disabled people left out of humanitarian response came next, followed by preparing for "climate-related shocks and hazards".
In that context Mr Sy mentioned "adaptation to build resilience, activating early-warning systems and early action, and building on innovative approaches like forecast-based financing".
In the Thomson Reuters survey, agency CEOs and directors were asked to name their first three priorities for the year ahead.
Pointing out that the record US$ 14.3 billion from donors for humanitarian response coordinated by the UN this year meets only 57 per cent of estimated needs, OCHA chief Mark Lowcock said his top priority was to close "the persistent funding gap between what we receive and need".
Next for OCHA came measures to improve warring parties' respect for international humanitarian law and stronger measures to prevent sexual exploitation and abuse within the aid community.
Corinne Woods, communications director at the World Food Programme put Yemen at the top of her list, while next came helping to rebuild "the livelihoods and strengthen the resilience of millions around the world whose lives are being torn apart by conflict and climate change".
Harnessing digital technology, "including blockchain and biometrics, to move the fight against food insecurity into a different gear" came third.
'Ambitious targets'
One agency, CARE International UK, puts climate at the top of its list of three prioritieee. Tom Newby, who leads its humanitarian team, said: "The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's ['SR1.5'] report was quite frightening in its warning that we only have 12 years to limit catastrophe."
As a second priority out of three, CARITAS Secretary General Michael Roy wants to push for "more ambitious targets on limiting global warming to no higher than 1.5 degrees".
Other agency leaders included in the survey are from Save the Children International, Oxfam GB, ActionAid, the International Rescue Committee, Islamic Relief Worldwide, Mercy Corps, and the Norwegian Refugee Council.
The UN has asked donors for US$ 21.9 billion to address 21 humanitarian crises in 2019, including Yemen but not including include Syria, which is expected to bring the total to US$ 25 billion.
IFRC Secretary General Elhad As Sy (seated, at centre) on a visit to a Red Cross Red Crescent field hospital in Cox's Bazar. He has listed pandemic disease, the "missing millions" of people left out of humanitarian response and climate as top priorities.

Quinoa - Gourmet Guide
June 12, 2019 | By Dave Mattingly
Quinoa, once considered the "Gold of the Incas" is the grain-like seed that is related to leafy green vegetables such as spinach and Swiss chard. Considered the "mother of all grains" by the Incas, Quinoa (pronounced "KEEN-wah"), was first cultivated as many as 9,000 years ago in the Andean regions of Peru, Chile and Bolivia in South America and was a prized crop along with potatoes and corn. Quinoa was grown at 10,000-20,000 feet and one of the few crops that survived at such high altitudes. Quinoa had the ability to weather the elements such as frost, intense sun and drought. Quinoa was also recognized for its many nutritional benefits, so much that Quinoa came to hold deep spiritual importance for the Incas. Quinoa became the focus of many religious ceremonies, as it was considered a sacred food and a gift from the Gods. When Spain invaded the Andes in the 1500s, they destroyed the Quinoa fields and forbade the practice of rituals that included Quinoa. Spain introduced wheat and barley to the Incas, but the Incas still grew Quinoa in higher altitudes and where they could hide it from the Spaniards and continued to consume it in small amounts. Interest in Quinoa waned until the 1970s when the US began to import it. While Quinoa is cultivated in Canada and the Colorado Rockies, most Quinoa that is imported to the US still comes from South America.
Quinoa has an oval shape and comes in many colors, including white, red and black, with white being the mildest in flavor and red and black being crunchier and nuttier. Organic Quinoa is a complete source of protein, offering the full spectrum of 9 essential amino acids. Organic Quinoa is not only high in protein but is also a good source of fiber, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins and minerals. Organic Quinoa is high in calcium, phosphorus, copper, magnesium and iron. Quinoa is also gluten-free, an excellent alternative to wheat, and makes digestion easy especially for those prone to food allergies. Quinoa's germ (the portion of the grain that sprouts and becomes a plant) that encloses its outer surface is larger than any other grain, and is the source of its high protein content. This germ is released when Quinoa is cooked and contributes to Quinoa's crunchy texture. Some believe that since Organic Quinoa has been able to thrive under such difficult growing environments while at the same time developing superb nutritional content, Quinoa may also help humans thrive in increasingly challenging environmental conditions.
Organic Quinoa has a coating on its surface called saponin which is bitter in flavor and protects it from birds and environmental damage. While most saponin is removed during processing, it is best to rinse Organic Quinoa under cold water prior to cooking to provide the sweetest and most delicate flavor of the grain. Organic Quinoa may be used in place of just about any rice dish, thanks to its light, chewy and nutty texture. Since it cooks so quickly, Organic Quinoa with fresh fruit and nuts is a nutritious and hearty hot breakfast cereal. Or try Organic Quinoa on its own with a touch of extra virgin olive oil and a splash of lemon. As the perfect accompaniment to any dinner dish, Organic Quinoa may be added to soups, stews, pilafs, stir-frys or casseroles. Try Organic Quinoa instead of rice in rice pudding, or add to muffins, breads, cookies or even pancakes.
