By the end of the century, summer weather could last half a year (and that’s not a good thing)
(CNN) Summer weather could grow to half a year in length by the end of this century if no mitigation efforts are done on climate change, according to a new study . In about the past 60 years, summer has increased by 17 days on average across the globe. "Summers are getting longer and hotter while winters shorter and warmer due to global warming," said Yuping Guan, lead author of the study. Sure, longer summers may sound great for a family vacation or enjoying the outdoors, but this extended season could significantly impact our health, the environment and agriculture. Heat waves could grow longer, mosquito-borne illnesses could become more widespread, allergy season from pollen could turn more severe and the growing season of crops will be longer.

Singer Jessica Villarubin reclaims confidence on and off stage
After emerging as “The Clash” Season 3 grand champion, Power Diva Jessica Villarubin wins another bout, only this time it’s something more personal — her insecurity. The singer recently released her debut single under GMA Music titled “Ako Naman.” Penned by Asia’s Romantic Balladeer Christian Bautista, the song is reminiscent of her journey from being a simple Cebuana girl with big dreams to now a rising Kapuso performer. It was also her winning piece during the grand finals of “The Clash.” “I’m so grateful talaga na may kanta na ako at composed pa ni sir Christian. I feel happy and blessed po sa lahat ng mga nangyayari sa buhay ko ngayon. Sa kantang ito, mararamdaman ng listeners ‘yung mga pinagdaanan ko at kung paano ako pinalakas nito. Sana marami rin ang ma-inspire ng ‘Ako Naman’.” Besides this new song, Villarubin became the talk of the town when she also revealed her new look and confidently admitted she underwent beauty enhancements to achieve it. “This is what I … [Read more...] about Singer Jessica Villarubin reclaims confidence on and off stage
Yes, even a dirt cheap webcam is probably way better than just your laptop
Webcams took on outsized importance as millions of people started working remotely and communicating via videoconferencing tools. For many people, that means the webcam on their laptop, which is a component that hadn’t received much attention until very recently. Chances are, your laptop’s webcam resolution is 720p at best, and its quality might be severely lacking. I looked at a handful of popular inexpensive webcams on Amazon to see if any provided good enough quality for today’s remote workers, and I was pleasantly surprised by a few of them. The GoHZQ W8A was the best one I tested , and as we’ll see below, it offers a much better experience than the webcam built into one otherwise powerful and high-quality laptop. But even those with the worst image quality proved better options than whatever your laptop happens to have. Laptop webcam comparison I rely on an HP Spectre x360 15 as my primary machine, hooked up via a Thunderbolt 3 dock to two external 4K displays and a … [Read more...] about Yes, even a dirt cheap webcam is probably way better than just your laptop
