Say what you will about Google, but the old search-engine devil has some fine taste and sense of humor in its design department. Over the years Google’s amassed a veritable trove of hidden games, many of which first appeared in connection with anniversaries but continue to be available to play today. So if you want to sabotage some productivity at work or play Pac-Man instead of studying for class (not that we’d ever encourage such a thing), read on for the best secret Google games you can play right now.
Top 5 best free Android emulators, if you don’t know what's an Android emulator, is then it’s a kind of software what's helps you to play your Android games and apps in your PC all of those emulators are pretty similar so for this video we will mainly focus on three sides to rank the emulators. First is the interface means how good it looks? Second is the OS version that means what’s the Android version it's unhanded. The Third that most important one is the performance that's mean how fast it is an is it lag or not so now let's Go to the list. 1. Remix OS The Remix OS now please remind that this is not only an Android emulator it's also an Android operating system for computer with this at the same time you can't use Windows and Android operating system both but that’s the thing I most liked about it because the Windows doesn't run in background so the Android runs very smooth a lot of Windows tablet are also using this operating system I can definitely say that it runs 2x faster than any other emulator gaming and multitasking is a different experience on it looks and works very similar with Windows 10 it's really fast super cool looking and has version 4 Marshmallow and Android Nougat 2 so I didn’t find any disadvantage to use this software I can highly recommend this for any PC no matter its high end or low. 2. BlueStacks The BlueStacks 3 know it's the favorite emulator of a lot of you but let's be honest I was never been a great fan of BlueStacks just for its bad performance but after using the BlueStacks 3 I just forced to change the list because it runs absolutely without any lag and it's very fast too I mainly suggest it for low-end because most of you already know that this is a potato PC I am using and at this time I am recording this video it runs absolutely amazing but I don't like the themes of it and it also runs an Android KitKat but I hope soon they will be released the lollipop version of it but that doesn't make sense it can run any games really smooth even and low-end so if you have a low-end PC then I will highly suggest you to BlueStacks 3. MeMuPaly The MemuPlay it's a really good emulator if you have high-end PC but it nothing also it's going to work quite smooth for you it's looks really good and it also has two version of it KitKat and Lollipop as always I am using the lollipop because it supports all the games and also it pretty good for gaming too but for using it you need at least 4 Gigabytes RAM which I am pretty sure most of you have more than that so if you have a high-end PC then must use this emulator because it's really good for almost everything it comes with a built-in screen recorder and that’s quality is really good so with that you can play games and record that at the same time so if you have a high-end must use this software. 4. NoxPlayer NoxPlayer this is the emulator I have used most at the time in my life I mean back in a days I used to play a lot but I put this in number four because it's not good for big and high graphics game I mean you can play any small and medium size games pretty smooth but in some big games it legs so if you want to game omit then it's not the best choice for youth it has two Android version KitKat and the lollipop. It looks better and also the interface is really good it has a few themes so you choose which you like and that's the thing I most liked about it looks very similar with an Android tablet and also you get some extra facilities with it like it allows to take screenshot and record screens if you don't play too many big games then you can just use it. 5. Koplay The Koplay pretty sure that most of you don’t know about it that's why it's not that popular but it's working alright the interface did it looks that cool and also it runs at android KitKat so that’s also a big problem to playing new games because some of the new games didn't support the KitKat version but also it works pretty good if you don't care about the interface and the version I mean I don ‘use it too much but I have played some games on it and it's didn't lag even a little bit in high graphics games and also it runs pretty fast so if you don’t care about the version and interface then you can use this okay.

When you think of how to cut calories, you probably imagine an unpleasant exercise that involves sapping all the joy out of your meals. But it doesn't need to be that way! Yes, it's true that if you want to lose weight, cutting calories is usually part of the equation, along with eating healthier food and making sure to work in some exercise (strength training and cardio are your friends). But the key to long-lasting weight loss is making sustainable choices you can stick to, which is why cutting calories shouldn't be a drastic overhaul of your diet—just little tweaks that give you a practically painless healthy upgrade. Before jumping into these 18 easy tips for cutting 100 calories, a quick but vital note: Losing weight is different for every person. What works for your friend may not work for you and vice versa. And if you have a history of disordered eating, check in with your doctor before making any changes to your eating habits, just to be sure you're being safe. Counting calories can be problematic for people who have struggled with eating disorders, and if it isn't something you feel comfortable with, you don't have to (and probably shouldn't) do it. It's also absolutely not the only way to lose weight (if that's your goal), nor are calories the only factor that matters. Sustainable weight loss also requires getting good sleep, keeping active, managing stress, and factoring in any medical issues that may contribute to weight maintenance, such as hormones and medications. And whether your aim is to lose weight, maintain your weight, or adopt healthier eating habits, all those things are part of the bigger equation. Now, with your intentions set—whatever they may be—here are 18 of the best, easiest ways to slash 100 calories without depriving your taste buds. 1. Eat your eggs with hot sauce instead of cheese. "Eggs are great for breakfast, but many people consider eggs and cheese to be BFFs," Lauren Slayton, M.S., R.D., founder of Foodtrainers, tells SELF. "Instead of cheese—1 ounce of cheddar has 114 calories—top your eggs with hot sauce, which contains no calories and helps with satiety. Plus, you need a little spice in the new year!" 2. Top your toast, waffles, or pancakes with mashed berries instead of jelly or syrup. "Half a cup of berries—fresh, frozen, or thawed—has about 40 calories, compared with 2 tablespoons of maple syrup or jelly, which both have about 100 calories," Kelly Hogan, M.S., R.D., clinical nutrition coordinator at the Dubin Breast Cancer of the Tisch Cancer Institute of The Mount Sinai Hospital, tells SELF. "Plus, who only uses 2 tablespoons of syrup? The berries will also give you a good punch of fiber, which helps keep you full and satisfied and won't spike blood sugar quickly like the jelly or syrup."
Oscar season has just begun with the Bradley Cooper's directorial debut, A Star is Born. The film has been getting universal acclaim since its release at the Venice International Film Festival, with praise going towards Bradley Cooper's and Lady Gaga's performance, the direction, the writing, and the music. A Star Is Born more than lives up to the hype, as it is able to deliver an emotionally-resonate drama that perfectly deserves all of the critical acclaims, and it is definitely a favorite at this year's Oscar race. A Star is Born tells the story of Jackson Maine, a seasoned musician who discovers-and falls in love with a struggling artist Ally, who has given up on her dreams to become a singer/songwriter. When Jackson coaxes her into a spotlight, Ally's career takes off, becoming one of the most successful singers. As Ally rises to fame, the personal relationship between the two starts to break down, as Jackson struggles with alcoholism and his ongoing inner demons. This is the third remake of the 1937 film of the same name. For everything great that the film does, it isn't all perfect. For those who have seen any other versions of the story, whether it the original 1937 film or the Judy Garland and Barbara Streisand version, the story will be predictable, and you will see all of the familiar moments coming. Another aspect is that like the other versions, the film does struggle with the second act that focuses on Ally's or the "star'" rising to fame, and it does feel like it drags along these scenes. However, even these minor nitpicks cannot take away from the incredible and emotional viewing experience that Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga is able to take us. One of, if not the best part of the film is the Oscar-worthy performances from both Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga. This is by far their best performances of their career, and they are a lock for a Best Actor/Actress nomination, maybe a win in their respective category. Bradley Cooper as the troubled artist Jackson Maine is phenomenal, as he is able to bring a hefty amount of depth, vulnerability, and nuances to the role. He is able to perfectly capture the charm and charisma of the character but also is able to dig deeper into the character's self-destructive nature that is able to rise above the typical substance abuse cliche that we have seen a million times. His performance is emotional, heartfelt, and incredibly powerful that will definitely be in contention at this year's award season. In addition, Lady Gaga absolutely steals the movie as the rising artist Ally. Her performance as the titular character is able to bring the character's ability to achieve success all on her own, relying on her talents and skill through herself instead of what easily could've felt like a handout from Cooper's character. And like Cooper, Gaga is able to bring enough energy, depth, charm, and a surprising amount of vulnerability and nuances that transforms her into the character. Never once did it felt like we were watching Lady Gaga perform. It all felt natural and authentic, and Gaga absolutely shines, especially in the film's musical moments. Here, Gaga captures the shyness, quirks, nervousness, resistance, strength, and confidence all at the same time in the same scene. This is a performance that will get her an Oscar nomination, maybe even a win in this category. What adds to the performance is the amazing chemistry from our leads, making the interactions between the characters feel natural and authentic. The relationship between Jackson and Ally are the heart and soul of the film. It is here where we are able to get the best moments, the best songs, and the best emotional connection to these characters. And both Cooper and Gaga make it feel believable. They are able to invest in the story, in their believable love for each other, and they are able to make us care in both the best and worst moments of their relationship. Seeing how each character reacts to one's fame or one's deterioration is the cornerstone of the film, one that our leads are able to perfectly capture and deliver some of the more emotional moments in the film. And while Bradley Cooper is able to deliver an excellent performance, he is also able to shine in his directorial debut. However, one would never notice due to the sheer confidence and artistry that he is able to bring in his direction. This feels like it was directed by a more season and experienced director who has mastered his craft. With the help of the amazing cinematography from Matthew Libatique, Cooper is able to beautiful craft and capture the coverage of the musical numbers, as well as the fearless decision to linger on in the dramatic and extensive dialogue sequences. This is one of the most well constructed directorial debuts since Jordan Peele's Get Out, and it one where we can expect a nomination as well. In addition to the beautiful direction, Cooper and screenwriters Eric Roth and Will Fetters are able to tell an amazing story that is both an amazing musical experience as well as a great commentary of fame and the music business. The film does an amazing job of delving into both the public and private persona of an artist, and the damaged nature and experiences that they have to go through. We are able to see the soullessness that can happen when rising to fame, and the difficulty it is to keep your integrity and roots in the long run. It is able to add a sense of self-reflectiveness on not only Cooper as an actor, but also as Gaga as a performer who both have to deal with the success and consequences that go with fame and music. Where the script is able to shine is through the film's first and last act. While the second act is a bit underwhelming, it is the beginning and the end of the film that will take the audience into an emotional experience. The first act beautifully captures the rise and dynamic of our lead's relationship, and it beautifully captures both the strength and weakness, the effort, and the love that they have for each other. However, the third act is emotionally devastating. If you've seen any of the other versions, you know how the third act plays out. However, that doesn't hide the sheer honesty, rawness, and gravity of it. It is a beautiful culmination on Ally and Jackson's relationship, Jackson's substance abuse and inner demons, and Ally's rise to fame in an incredible last act. It is not afraid to delve into some unsettling places and it is not afraid to ignore some of the story's more darker elements, while also perfectly capturing the power of music and the human spirit, and trying to find hope in it. And by far the best part of the film is the incredible, exhilarating, and emotional musical moments. The songs, most of them written by Lady Gaga, are both emotionally satisfying and emotionally heartbreaking. You don't need to be a fan of rock, pop, or Lady Gaga to appreciate the amazing music in the film. Two songs, in particular, are favorite to win Best Original Song. One is "Shallows", which is able to be entertaining, catchy, and beautifully written that is integral to the story, as it captures the film's heart and soul and the dynamic of the characters. Another is "I'll Never Love Again", which is able to be soul-crushingly haunting, beautiful, and emotional that perfectly captures the love between Ally and Jackson and the emotional weight of the third act. All these songs are benefited through Cooper's amazing direction, as well as Lady Gaga's amazing voice and performance that captures the character's raw emotions and feelings. Whether it is for Best Actress or Best Original Song, Lady Gaga is going home with an Oscar that night. In the end, A Star is Born is one of the best films of the year and is a contender for Best Picture at the Oscars. Despite a predictable story and second act that other versions suffered as well, Bradley Cooper directorial debut is able to deliver an emotionally resonant and powerful film, thanks to a great performance from himself as well as Lady Gaga, excellent chemistry between the leads, amazing storytelling that adds commentary to fame and the music industry, an excellent first and devastating third act, as well as excellent musical moments found throughout. Two stars were definitely born in this film. One in Cooper's direction and the other is in Gaga's acting performance.
Facebook Adds Support for 250-Person Chats in Groups Facebook is launching chat rooms for Groups. Starting today, the company is giving Facebook Group members the ability to launch chat groups with up to 250 members. The Groups and Messenger combination will also offer audio and video calls with up to 50 people. Facebook won’t automatically add anyone to the chat rooms, or spam you with new messages. First, group members will get a notification of new group chats, which they can choose to join or not. If you do, you can still turn off some notifications and choose to get only some messages, such as when you’re mentioned. Plus, group admins can shut down or limit the creation of chats to avoid spam. If you’re not sure about the new feature, you can opt out now and join later. To do it, you can look for the “Chat” tab on Facebook Groups and browse the active threads to join. Facebook has been testing a number of features lately. The company recently announced it was looking into allowing users to send messages via voice. The Messenger extension also has plans for the feature to allow users’ voices to trigger voice calls and set reminders. Plus, in June, it unveiled Keyword Snooze, which allows users to block unwanted spoilers. The feature gives people the choice to temporarily hide certain posts containing any keywords or phrases that they don’t want to see. Located in the upper right-hand menu on your News Feed, it hides any posts with those keywords. With the “snooze” feature, it means that users won’t have to see that specific word or phrase from anyone on their friends list, group, and page for a 30-day period.
