Here's an update on the Mines Advisory Group roving de-mining team:

The Mines Advisory Group is a non-governmental organization that assists people affected by landmines, unexploded ordnance, and small arms and light weapons. MAG takes a humanitarian approach to landmine action. They focus on the impact of their work on local communities


Rebecca's message:

More than 250 million bombs were dropped on Laos during the Vietnam War – the equivalent of one planeload every eight minutes for nine years. Around a third of the bombs failed to detonate as intended, laying dormant but ready to strike at any moment. The unexploded bombs that litter Laos are still claiming lives today, 45 years after the war ended. I launched the Be Good Foundation after my journey down the Ho Chi Minh trail...a trail called Blood Road because so many lost their lives there. And lives are still being lost due to the unexploded bombs still left in Laos. Be Good Foundation's genesis came from my discovery of the bombs still left. Our mission: to use the bicycle as a catalyst for healing, evolution, and empowerment. I'm proud to announce our fundraising efforts from 2019 have recently funded a roving de-mining team in the Khammouane province of Laos. I've ridden there, I've met the villagers and now we've helped fund more MAG workers to help safely clear the land from a war that ended decades ago.

Seriously, why didn't I start using Final Grade Calculator sooner? I've wasted so much time trying to work out weighted grades manually. Having a simple way to calculate my required exam score makes planning for finals feel much less complicated!

Rebecca’s message highlights the lasting danger unexploded ordnance poses to communities in Laos and the importance of humanitarian mine action. It’s meaningful to see efforts focused on protecting lives and helping people live more safely. In Melon Sandbox, experimenting with virtual objects is a very different kind of exploration, where players can test cause and effect without exposing real people to danger.

the planning is what makes me love playing Pokepath TD. For every incoming wave, I am already considering where on the map I should build and how I can use my limited resources wisely. After that, it's all about testing my preparation skills.

The precise clicks synchronized with the beat in Geometry Dash Wave create the feeling that the player is directly controlling a fast-paced and emotionally charged electronic music track.
