What is Pokémon Go?

Pokémon Go (stylized as Pokémon GO) is a free-to-play location-based augmented reality mobile game developed by Niantic for iOS and Android devices. It was released in July 2016. Making use of GPS and the camera of compatible devices, the game allows players to capture, battle, and train virtual creatures, called Pokémon, who appear on device screens as though in the real world. The game is free-to-play, although it supports in-app purchases of additional gameplay items. An optional companion Bluetooth wearable device, the Pokémon Go Plus, is planned for future release and will alert users when Pokémon are nearby.

The game quickly became one of the most used smart device apps, surpassing the previous record held by Candy Crush Saga in the United States. By July 22, the game was downloaded by more than 40 million people worldwide. The game was praised by some medical professionals for potentially improving the mental and physical health of players, but also attracted some controversy due to reports of causing accidents and being a public nuisance at some locations.

GAMEPLAY:

After establishing a game account, the player creates an avatar by selecting a hair, skin, and eye color; style; and outfit. After the avatar is created, it is displayed at the player’s current location along with a map of the player’s immediate surroundings. Features on the map include a number of PokéStops and Pokémon gyms. PokéStops provide players with items, such as eggs, Poké Balls, and potions and can be equipped with items called lures, which attract wild Pokémon. Gyms serve as battle locations for team-based king of the hill matches. These are typically located at places of interest. These locations are re-purposed portals from Ingress, Niantic’s previous augmented reality game.

As players travel the real world, their avatar moves along the game’s map. Different Pokémon species reside in different areas of the world; for example, water-type Pokémon are generally found near water. When a player encounters a Pokémon, they may view it either in augmented reality (AR) mode or with a live rendered, generic background. AR mode uses the camera and gyroscope on the player’s mobile device to display an image of a Pokémon as though it were in the real world. Players can take screen shots of the Pokémon they encounter either with or without the AR mode activated.

Awesome Family Literacy Night Plus Crafts And Griffin The Visiting Therapy Dog At Mackrille School

Published on Jun 13, 2016

 

While going through old video clips we found these amazing footage recorded 3 years ago when Aiman was in elementary school. He was 9 years old at the time. Even at this age, Aiman was really good at narrating in a video. He was captivated and funny, yet his talent seemed so natural. For Aiman’s fans, this is a must watch video!

It was during a Family Literacy Night at Edith E. Mackrille Elementary, a Magnet School that once was chosen as a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence. The night featured crafts and projects by students plus a visiting therapy dog named Griffin, as part of Reading For Paws Program. This was on March 19, 2013.

PAWS for Reading is a program that allows children to read aloud to a therapy dog (or cat, or bunny!) in order to improve reading and communication skills. Children read individually to trained therapy pets (and their handlers) in schools, libraries, or other settings where they can feel comfortable and confident — and have fun! After all, a dog will not correct them or make them feel awkward if they stumble.

Griffin, a golden retriever, is a certified therapy dog, providing animal-assisted therapy in reading programs, hospitals, nursing homes etc. The dog is owned and trained by Dr. Donna Latella, an Occupational Therapy professor at Quinnipiac University.

Aiman was really excited especially he has never been up close and personal with a dog before. This experience later helped him when a lost Labrador Retriever wandered into his yard later on during the year, where he cared for the dog for a couple of days until her owner eventually found this lost dog.

You may watch the videos of the lost Labrador Retriever he called Roxy here:

4) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFTHm… (Roxy The Labrador Retriever: The Uninvited Guest (Part 4))

Aiman continued to develop a good relationship with animals. In one instance, Aiman nursed a baby skunk he found injured near his home. He fed the baby skunk milk for several days until the baby skunk finally recovered and went on its way.

Gorgeous Knock Out Roses: Reasons Why You Should Consider Planting Them – Gardening Ideas With Aiman

Published on Jun 13, 2016

 

Without a doubt, Knock Out Roses are truly amazing as part of your landscape. They look stunningly beautiful especially if planted in a row. Words alone cannot describe the sheer beauty of these roses, you must experience their presence in your garden.

Last year Aiman did a series of videos on planting the Knock Out Roses. We planted two varieties, the pink double knockout and the red double knockout. This year these roses bloomed beautifully. If you are looking to beautify your home, garden or offices, please take a look at this video. It may convince you to consider planting these beautiful roses that will bloom throughout the summer. If you had to choose between the two varieties, go for the red one.

If you like this video, please watch the 5 videos that Aiman did on planting the knockout roses last year. They are:

About Knock Out Roses:

The Double Knock Out Rose is very stable and unfazed by the heat. Classic shaped flowers from early Spring to the first frost. With superior drought tolerance once established, it has the toughness and resistance for which the family is known. A vibrant color that perks up any landscape.

Since being selected as an AARS (All-America Rose Selections) winner in 2000, the patented Knock Out roses quickly became the largest-selling rose variety in North America. They’re fast becoming a staple of home and municipal landscapes and parks due to their carefree attitude and showy, summer-long blossoms.

It had everything — showy, continuous blooms; compact growth habit; tough-as-nails constitution; and, best of all, no need to spray for black spot disease.

Knock Out roses have several periods of blooming through the growing season. It is not uncommon to have the bushes in bloom every five weeks from late spring to early fall. An appealing characteristic is that the plants are self-cleaning so there is no deadheading of spent blooms needed to promote additional blooms. Knock Out roses are desirable due to their low maintenance requirements. Pruning is common in standard roses, but Knock Out varieties need this task done only about every three years. The plants have a compact, bushy appearance with a mature height of 4 feet tall.

‘Knockout’ rose, owes its uber-popularity to the belief that it’s the first “no maintenance” rose — perfect for the lazy gardener in all of us.

William Radler, a native Wisconsin rose breeder, worked tirelessly to cultivate the Knockout Rose. Introduced in 2000 by the Conard-Pyle Co./Star® Roses, Radler’s Knockout Rose is bred specifically as a low-maintenance, adaptive rose cultivar. Gardeners all over the United States, and beyond, have rejoiced. The Knockout Rose has enabled gardeners in cold-weather locations, such as my Massachusetts neighbors, to plant stunning rose gardens.

To Chicago For MathCON P1: Why You Should Rent A Car For Roadtrip & 2016 Chevy Equinox SUV Review

Published on Jun 12, 2016

 

Aiman and Hizami both qualified to participate in MathCON National Competition at the University of Illinois Chicago on April 23, 2016. Out of 45,000 5th-12th grade students from 380 schools across 42 states who participated in the online qualifying round, only 600 get to compete in this final ‘showdown’ at UIC.

Aiman’s brother Hizami qualified to participate in MathCON National last year but he didn’t get to go because of financial reasons, but since Aiman also qualified this year, their parents decided that it was worthwhile to take the trip there.

This is the first part in a multi-part vlog of their road trip to Chicago, similar to their documented road trip to Pittsburgh several years ago where Aiman made a series of videos.

The family opted to drive because it would be cheaper to drive from New Haven to Chicago versus flying. They decided to rent a car instead of driving their own because they didn’t want to rack in the mileage. The trip would be 2,000 miles back and forth. Renting a car made sense in many ways – newer car, not racking up mileage on personal vehicle, higher miles per gallon, ability to switch the car with the rental company should the car break down are among the primary reasons.

They got a good deal on a brand new 2016 Chevrolet Equinox LT from a national rental company. It was cheaper than a compact car. It fits 5 people comfortably thus allowed Anisa to tag along as well. In this video Aiman also highlight several features of Chevy Equinox SUV just in case someone is looking to buy or rent this vehicle. The best feature we like about this car is its EPA per gallon of 25-35 mpg, comparable to that of Honda Civic despite being an SUV and a larger size. It has that commanding view and it is also very comfortable for a long trip.

If you enjoy this video, please watch the next few parts. We were planning to stop by at several places along the way…

My Sister Anisa (ESUMS) Made The State Team: CT Youth Poetry Slam Finals At The Bushnell Theater

Published on Jun 9, 2016

 

During the Connecticut Youth Poetry Slam Finals at the Bushnell Theater of Performing Arts in Hartford last year, my sister Anisa Anuar tied for 4th place and made it to the state’s team to compete at the National level. In this video, Aiman and Hizami took you through the excitement of the contest. Take a listen to Anisa’s amazing and incredibly moving poems during the 2nd and 3rd round of the competition.

Poetry is such a dense, compact form of language. It packs pages and pages of meaning into just a few verses. In a world where we are surrounded by anonymous, thoughtless, prosaic prose — think endless listicles on Facebook — reading a piece where every syllable, every punctuation mark, every line, is carefully considered…it’s a breath of fresh air.

And that ability to convey lots of meaning very succinctly is vital in any walk of life. Nobody cares unless you tell a story. As Robin Williams said in Dead Poets Society, “Poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for…That you are here – that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse.”

This might have been old news, but we did not have a chance to edit and publish this video immediately after it was recorded. The event took place on April 19, 2015.

My sister Anisa was supposed to compete at the International Youth Poetry Slam in Atlanta from July 15-19 of that year. Even though this was Anisa’s dream, unfortunately she couldn’t make it because she will be attending the Stanford University Pre-Collegiate Summer High School program. Anisa chose to forego the fame of being televised on HBO for academic endeavors.

Nevertheless it was an experience she would never forget, and this video will help cement that memory. It was one of the proudest moments for her. It was an impressive accomplishment given the fact that Anisa was from Engineering and Science University Magnet School (ESUMS), and not from a liberal arts high school. Amazingly, 4 out of 16 state finalists were from ESUMS. This was truly an awesome accomplishment. Congratulations to Anisa and all four of ESUMS poets who made it to the final state round.

Many thanks to Mrs. Robinson who has tirelessly coached and led the team, and made national after the first tries. Special thanks to Mrs. Robinson’s mom who has supported the entire team by helping to transport the students to the qualifying rounds. Also thank you for treating these very talented young kids at Ashleys Ice cream after the event.

And finally many thanks to fellow ESUMS students, biology teacher, vice principal and other staffs who showed up to show their support. as well as other teachers who have supported the program since day one.

We have published several photos taken during this event at MalayUSA’s FB page at https://www.facebook.com/MalayUsa/pho…. Please feel free to browse the album there.

We will also be uploading a full-length video of the auditions / competition. Unfortunately, because we arrived late, we were not able to record the first round.

BNV FESTIVAL ATLANTA 2015 (July 15-19)

The Brave New Voices Festival is many things, including but not limited to the home of the International Youth Poetry Slam. Once a year, hundreds of young poets, their mentors, and the organizations that sponsor them come from all over the country – and increasingly the globe – to spend 5 days together celebrating the voices of our future. Powered by Youth Speaks, the festival invites young people to take part in as many as 30 workshops and 50 events in just a few days.

As featured on HBO and multiple other media outlets, Brave New Voices makes visible young people, their poetry, and their lives.

Brave New Voices 2014 features over 500 Teen Poetry Slam Champions from 50 parts of the country and 5 additional cities from across the globe, representing over 50,000 young poets in their local communities. These young writers are a diverse, creative, intelligent group of trendsetting community and cultural leaders. They come to Brave New Voices each year not only to compete, but also to attend world-class workshops led by renowned poets and writers, participate in youth development programs, and highlight the voices of a new generation of leadership.

Aiman’s Yale University Pathways To Science New Student Orientation

Published on Jun 9, 2016

 

In this short video, Aiman takes you to his orientation as a new student in Yale University’s Pathway to Science Program. At this event, Aiman was welcomed as the youngest members of Yale’s community of scientists, explained more about Pathways to Science, afforded the opportunity talk to a member of Yale’s scientific community, and more!

This event took place last year in 2015 on September 26th, from 4pm to 5:30pm at Yale Commons, 164 College Street. Because we have already documented the entire orientation in greater length during Aiman’s older brother Hizami’s turn, we didn’t feel it was necessary to videotape the entire event.

Admission into Yale Pathways To Science program does not guarantee a child will get into Yale, but it is a start. It is a valuable experience for young children, and they will definitely enjoy it. If you are interested, and to ensure better chance of getting accepted, you should bring your child / children early on to Yale’s weekend outreach program for all ages such as Science on Saturdays and Math Morning on Sundays.

If you reside in New Haven or the surrounding towns, we encourage you to apply. Once you get accepted into the program, you will be able to join summer enrichment programs throughout middle school such as Ulysses S. Grant and S.C.H.O.L.A.R later on in high school.

Have you ever thought about how stars are born, wondered why dinosaurs had feathers, or asked yourself if nanotechnology will change our lives the way computers have? If you are curious about the world around us and want to learn how world-class scientists make discoveries and generate new knowledge, then Pathways to Science is right for you!

With an overarching goal to encourage and support promising young scholars to pursue careers in the sciences, Pathways opens the door for middle and high school students to explore science at Yale University. Whether the student is creative or logical, methodical or messy, observant or intuitive, Yale Pathways will help him or her explore the sciences and take their skills to the next level.

Throughout the year students are invited to programs, demonstrations, lectures, and laboratory visits on Yale University’s campus to learn about cutting-edge advances in science from respected professors. Students can choose which opportunities interest them the most. In the past, students have viewed the cosmos at Yale’s state-of-the-art planetarium, launched rockets, built telescopes, and examined brain specimens with Yale neuroscientists.

Yale Pathways to Science is free of charge. Once accepted, students can participate in programs through high school graduation. Inspiring the next generation of scientists is important to us, and we consider Pathways students the youngest members of Yale’s community of scientists.

Eligibility and application information:

New Haven, West Haven and Amity Public School middle and high school students are invited to apply when nominated by their math or science teacher. We send nomination forms to teachers each April. Nominated students receive applications for the program over the summer. Please email maria.parente@yale.edu for more information.
