Pokemon Go and the Gym

Pokemon Go is all the craze in mobile gaming and its attracting many non-gamers. At the initial stages of the games, a player collects as many Pokemons (those cute adorable creatures) within the player's surrounding and search for Pokestops to refill their inventory supplies. Collect a Pokemon in the Wild by throwing one pokeball at a time to trap them. Some how, caught Pokemon will be tamed and help the player to challenge other players at a later stage. Whats is a Gym? That is right, after a player reach level 5, they can choose to be on one of the Pokemon teams and enter a Gym. This allow a player to either challenge an opponent team, practice at a gym or loan a Pokemon to fight for your team and make your team stronger. A Gym looks like a tower with a square base at its top. Its color determine which team "owns" it. Here, Team Mystic in blue owns the 2 towers on the left and centre of the screen.

Forwarded Pokemon FUD

Saw the following circulating on Whatsapp. I guess there are some with some paranoid fear but without full knowledge of facts. Partial knowledge can lead to unfounded hysteria and it benefits some groups.

Pilot of Missing MH370 Did Plot the Fatal Suspected Route

It is with a feeling of sadness to learn that on 22 July 2016, the search for MH370 is suspended. The Malaysian government have indicated they would only accept the results to what happen to MH370 if the black box is found. Which in this case, its very unlikely going to be found by any government led effort. I would imagine that it will lead to similar situation like this; A private initiative is being planned and would be conducted with the least amount of media attention less there is interference by government forces to find the ill fated MH370. True to the form of open source initiatives, they will find many sources leading to the location but the results may never get revealed to the world. Participants from all over the world would install an application where they need to go outdoors and help with the search. This could be direct or indirectly with their knowledge that they are helping to trace MH370. Collection of data contributes to big data and soon an algorithm buil

Packaging of Nescafe 3 in 1 is not consistent

It was a most welcome change to Nescafe packaging when they included a second method to tear open their 3 in 1 sachet. The traditional mark to tear was at the side and many were already fighting to open it this way until the recently introduced way to tear open. This involves the tear notch at the back, at almost the same level as the side tear notch. All you have to do is push down and tear back. It was that much easier than before. Beats struggling to get a clean scissor to cut open the packet. Nescafe 3in1 with indicator to the 2 tear notches However, looks like problem came back with a recently bought pack of the 3 in 1 sachets. Couldn't tear from the side notch and the back notch. It just opens to reveal a sealed plastic back on the inside. It could be just a faulty pack, but lets see if this continues with the next pack in the future. This didn't happen in the last 3 pack of 3 in 1 sachets. Nescafe 3in1 - Unable to tear open successfully using the tear

Sugar Glider Basics

One of the many marsupial that have arrived to stay in our homes are the sugar glider. Its able to glide and steer itself quite well and can grow to be very close to people around. Very curious creatures and can be quite fierce when they are agitated. Scientific name has a very strong sounding name Petaurus breviceps . Just getting out of bed Kristen and Mimi hanging around I would not recommend small children near these animals as they can cause severe injuries due to their sharp nails and teeth. Consider watching the video clip from CBC Canada before taking home one. If you are considering to keep sugar gliders, here are some basic care: Feed a consistent sugar glider diet.
