Only A True Trivia Genius Can Get Through These Final Jeopardy Questions
- by Steven Horton

- in Lifestyle
Final Jeopardy is when the strong are separated from the weak. All the contestants enter the round with some amount of winnings, and they must choose how much to risk BEFORE they even find out what the question is! It's a risky venture, but only those willing to take risks can win.
Who out there is a Jeopardy expert? Who would win a Jeopardy game? Who should try to get on that show and take home some money? Maybe this quiz can help those people realize how much they really know.
According to Jeopardy experts, studying for Jeopardy is not as daunting as it may seem. Of course, it is quite an undertaking. And there are many people who have put years of study into it that still would not do well. It probably takes a certain mind to be good at a game like Jeopardy. But for people with those types of minds, the best advice is usually to study certain categories that appear in many Jeopardy games. These categories are geography, state capitals, world capitals, Shakespeare, history, literature, music, movies, TV, sports, science, colleges and universities, and word origins.
If one studies long enough, maybe they'd have a shot. For now, take this quiz and let's see who out there is ready for Final Jeopardy (Wikipedia)!
What is the word for a person without magical abilities in Harry Potter?
The category is FICTION. J.K. Rowling was one of those rags to riches stories that are so inspiring. She knew she was on to something great when she wrote her first book, but could she even imagine how magical it would become? Too bad people in real life are this term (Wikipedia).
Which planet is not named for a Greek or Roman mythological figure?
The category is SPACE. There's a lot of it. And the planet that humans live on is just one small little piece of the much larger puzzle. But that hasn't stopped humans from naming planets after famous mythological figures. Now, when one looks up at the stars, they see the memories of ancient gods (Wikipedia).
What was the most popular dog breed in 2018?
The category is ANIMALS. They say that dogs are a man's best friend. Loyal companions to the end, dogs are so happy they make their owners happy. Dogs are always right there beside their owners through thick and thin. And they're so cute. Just look at that little guy (Wikipedia)!
Which professional skateboarder was the first to successfully land a 900?
The category is SPORTS. Once thought to be a fringe hobby or something that nobody took seriously, skateboarding became recognized as cool, hip, and athletic once this pro skater landed the first ever 900. What is a 900? It's a 900 degree turn, meaning two and a half full rotations in the air before landing (Wikipedia).
Next to slots, what casino game makes the most money for Nevada casinos?
The category is ENTERTAINMENT. It might be frowned upon in some places, but in fantastic Las Vegas, gambling is one of the main attractions! There are many different casino games to choose from. Some players play them all, and some focus in on one specific game, hoping to strategize their way to a jackpot (Wikipedia).
Who was the historical figure from whom two state capitals got their name?
The category is STATE CAPITALS. Every state has a capital, but naming these capitals posed quite an interesting challenge for early U.S. citizens. Which person should they name it after to truly capture the glory of their state? Well, for at least two states, they chose the exact same person (Wikipedia).
What was the name of the first video game of all time?
The category is VIDEO GAMES. Who doesn't love a good video game? Sure, it might not be everyone's cup of tea, but for some people, it's a way to relax after a hard day's work or a way to socialize with friends. The first video game was created in 1972 (Wikipedia).
Who was the first professional athlete to ever appear on the front of a Wheaties box?
The category is SPORTS. Introduced in 1924, Wheaties is a brand of cereal created by General Mills. Trying to sell themselves as a healthy start to the day and a part of a balanced breakfast for athletes, Wheaties began putting famous athletes on the cover of its boxes in 1934 (Wikipedia).
What was the first Disney movie ever made?
The category is MOVIES. The Walt Disney Company was founded in 1923, and it served two purposes: make great entertainment and make people happy. Their first movie was released in 1937. It was an uproarious success, and the company decided to continue making all the magical movies that exist today (Wikipedia).
What species of bear is the largest?
The category is ANIMALS. Lion, tigers, and bears - oh my! Bears are quite majestic. They live in the wild across the world. Gifted natural predators, bears are fast and strong enough to hunt almost any prey. There are many species of bears, but they all share the same awesome demeanor (Wikipedia).
Who is the CEO of Tesla?
The category is BUSINESS. Tesla was a company founded in 2003. The goal of the company is to create affordable electric cars, which they hope will replace gas powered cars one day soon. Tesla is a company named after one of the greatest inventors of all time, Nikola Tesla (Wikipedia).
Which storyteller was the author of The Odyssey?
The category is LITERATURE. The Odyssey is one of the great stories of all time. Telling the tale of Odysseus who ventured out from his home to a true hero's journey, the story laid the foundations for much storytelling that would come after it. Fun fact: the movie, "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" was based on this story (Wikipedia).
What was the name of the mission that successfully landed men on the moon?
The category is HISTORY. Back in the Cold War, the U.S. and the Soviet Union, now known simply as Russia, were battling against each other to be the first country to get a man to the moon. This was known as the Space Race, and when Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon, the world had its winner (Wikipedia).
Where was the first NBA game outside the United States played?
The category is SPORTS. Basketball is a game that many people know and love. The game is a five on five battle to see who can put the ball in a hoop the most times. Hint: this question is a little easier if you know all the NBA teams (Wikipedia)!
Which NFL quarterback holds the record for most Super Bowl wins?
The category is SPORTS. The Super Bowl is basically a holiday at this point. Many people call in sick to work the next day because they stayed up too late the night before watching a random NFC team face off against the New England Patriots. That's a joke, but it sure doesn't seem like it in recent years (Wikipedia).
What is the best selling music single of all time?
The category is MUSIC. Some bands create epic albums. Fans love to just put these albums on and listen from start to finish as the music takes them on a journey to places in their imagination. Other bands create amazing singles, catchy songs that are so good on their own that everyone can't help but listen (Wikipedia).
Which NFL player holds the record for the most rushing yards of all time?
The category is SPORTS. It might seem crazy nowadays, but there was actually a time in NFL history when running backs had long, meaningful lives in the profession. Today, it seems like running backs only last a few years and then are replaced in the draft, but the running back with this record played for 15 seasons (Wikipedia)!
Which literary character was played by Roger Moore and 60 other actors?
The category is FILM AND TV. This is one of the most fun characters in literature but he's been portrayed 61 times on in movies and television. People always say the book is better than the movie. Maybe the reason is because in a book, the plot can take its time, explore the main characters, and create an entire fantasy-based universe (Wikipedia).
What was the heaviest fruit or vegetable ever grown?
The category is WORLD RECORDS. If harvesting fruit and vegetables is important, then it is only logical that harvesting BIGGER fruit and vegetables is even more important! Okay, not really, but it might be fun. Every year, farmers compete to see who can grow the heaviest produce and maybe break a world record (Wikipedia).
Which star basketball player also played a role in the movie Airplane?
The category is MOVIES. The movie "Airplane!" is one of those movies that people need to watch with the right mindset. It's as goofy as could be. It's one of the most successful spoof movies of all time. And in this movie, a certain famous basketball star made a cameo (Wikipedia).
Who wrote the classical opera called "The Marriage Of Figaro?"
The category is MUSIC. Operas used to be all the rage, and they still are to a select audience. Back before movies and TV, entertainment choices were obviously more limited. Well, one could either go to a concert or a play, but what about combining the two? And that's one of the reasons why operas exist (Wikipedia).
Who invented the cotton gin?
The category is HISTORY. The cotton gin is a machine that makes harvesting cotton way more efficient. Before this was invented, people used to have to manually pick apart the cotton fibers from the cotton seeds. It took forever! This invention sped up harvesting, helping increase production for this important cash-crop (Wikipedia).
Which musical artist has sold the most records of all time?
The category is MUSIC. Selling records can define a musician. Sure, music is not all about record sales. There's more to art than sheer numbers. Art is not just some capitalistic money-making scheme. But the amount of records that an artist sells indicates their popularity, which has to mean something (Wikipedia)!
Which Shakespeare play features the story of an ambitious general who hails from Scotland?
The category is FAMOUS PLAYS. Everyone knows Shakespeare, or do they? Some historians think Shakespeare may never have actually existed. It could have been the name under which several playwrights wrote. Who knows? What is for certain is that Shakespeare produced some of the most influential and popular plays of all time (Wikipedia).
Who has the record for most Oscars?
The category is MOVIES. Ah, the Oscars - well, the answer to this question is definitely not Leonardo DiCaprio. It's not that he didn't deserve Oscars; in fact, for years, fans were quite upset at the fact that he never won an Oscar. Finally, in 2016, Leo won an Oscar for his role in "The Revenant" (Wikipedia).
Which U.S. leader followed James Monroe and was right before Andrew Jackson?
The category is HISTORY. The leader of the free world - there's been some great ones, such as George Washington or Abraham Lincoln. Most have been forgettable. Even many historians struggle to name every person who has sat in the Oval Office since 1789. Who can name this person (Wikipedia)?
Who invented the Periodic Table of Elements?
The category is SCIENCE. Try to imagine a world without chemistry. There'd be no fireworks, no penicillin, no way to even have a computer screen. Having an organized way to lay out all the elements from Hydrogen to Oganesson is the only way that scientists could possibly begin to experiment with them to create the world we know today (Wikipedia).
Which NFL player starred in a commercial in 1979 where he famously threw his jersey to a young fan?
The category is SPORTS. Everyone loves Super Bowl commercials. For some people, the commercials are more entertaining than the game itself. There have been many great commercials over the years, but this one in 1979 stands out to anyone who has ever seen it. It's inspiring, kind, and heartfelt (Wikipedia).
Where was the final battle of the Revolutionary War fought?
The category is HISTORY. The Revolutionary War was a big risk that paid off for the thirteen colonies. Before this war, there were not a lot of successful revolutions. What really helped was the home-field advantage that the colonists had. This final battle was a decisive victory for troops led by George Washington (Wikipedia).
What is the only month that can start on the same day of the week as the month before?
The category is THE CALENDAR. This is a tricky one. This one might stump a few people, but once they find out the correct answer, they might say, "Oh yeah! Of course!" Funny enough, this was an actual question from Final Jeopardy in the 80s, and it stumped people back then too (Wikipedia)!
What feature is common to the flags of the U.S., Venezuela, and Pakistan?
The category is WORLD FLAGS. Each country has its own flag. The flag is the symbol of the country, full of meaning and metaphor. And hey, not just countries have flags. So do soccer teams, fraternities, and even holidays! Waving a white flag means surrender and if red flags appear while dating, it might be time to move on (Wikipedia).
Which country from South America has more people than all the other countries from that continent combined?
The category is GEOGRAPHY. People love to travel, but sometimes people don't know the rich history of places they travel to. It's only a 12 hour flight to South America from the United States, and there's plenty of sights to see. One can visit the equator. There's also plenty of interesting ruins and all kinds of fun cities (Wikipedia)!
What year was the cell phone invented?
The category is TECHNOLOGY. Imagine a world without cell phones. Everyone had to use an actual computer to search the internet. The only phones that existed could only do one thing - make calls! How boring! Today, cell phones are everywhere, but it might be surprising just how long ago they were first invented (Wikipedia).
Who was the first jazz musician to play at Carnegie Hall?
The category is MUSIC. Jazz is an art form of the 20th century, but it has its roots in blues music that preceded it and still exists to this day. In the early 20th century, famous jazz musicians and their big band orchestras began taking over popular culture, playing at Carnegie Hall and other popular venues (Wikipedia).
What is the biggest National Park in the United States?
The category is THE GREAT OUTDOORS. In 1872, Yellowstone became the first National Park. This was done to preserve the land and the nature. Since then, beautiful and unique areas of the U.S. have been selected to be preserved as a National Park. Tourists flock to these places every year to see nature in all its majesty (Wikipedia).

Winner Announced – Eighth Generation's 2019 Wool Blanket Design Contest
Published June 29, 2019
SEATTLE — Eighth Generation, a Seattle based company, revitalized the wool blanket market by becoming the first Native-owned company to offer wool blankets, with 100% of its products designed in partnership with Native artists. In February of 2019, they launched their second Wool Blanket Design Contest. After careful review of over 200 submissions from all across the United States and Canada, the Eighth Generation team narrowed the field to 13 semi-finalists, then 4 finalists.
Following phone interviews with the final four contestants, Eighth Generation has finally announced the winner: Passamaquoddy Master Basket Maker Geo Neptune! The blanket created with the winner will be among the highest profile of Eighth Generation's 60 blanket designs, each designed by a Native artist.
Eighth Generation founder, Louie Gong (Nooksack) says, "At Eighth Generation, we're radically updating the American dream by disrupting legacy industries built on fake cultural art. We want to share that American dream—let's call it the Native American dream—with the community, and the contest is our way of doing that."
The Winner
Geo Neptune (Passamaquoddy at Indian Township) is a Two-Spirit Master Basket Maker and has been making baskets since they were 4 years old, primarily learning from their grandmother, Molly. Geo's goal as an artist is to use baskets and stories to create pieces that not only inspire Indigenous youth to practice their culture and find new ways to be Indigenous, but to also inspire other Two-Spirits across turtle island to reclaim their sacred roles within their communities.To learn more about the contest winner, check out Eighth Generation's blog post here!

Time For The Next Y2K Phase: Public Education (L.A. Times)greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread
Time For The Next Y2K Phase: Public Education (L.A. Times)
Sorry if this was already posted.
Just learned about it in an e-mail alert from a friend. Good Y2K city advice from the City of Los Angeles, on what they Y2K need to do next ... educate.
L.A. Times Article

Now for Another Daunting Y2K Task: Educating America's Masses
By GARY CHAPMAN
Monday, March 1, 1999
Last week, details of a new U.S. Senate report on the year 2000 software bug were leaked to the media and revealed serious concerns about the readiness of several U.S. economic sectors, including health care, oil, education, farming, food processing and construction, among others.
A number of government agencies are woefully behind too, including the departments of Defense and Energy and the Federal Aviation Administration.
The new report, one of the most comprehensive reviews of the Y2K bug to date, is expected to be formally released Tuesday at a news conference in Washington called by the Senate Special Committee on the Year 2000 Technology Problem (http://www.senate.gov/~y2k).
By now, most experts, even the optimists, agree that many computer systems vulnerable to the software date flaw will not be fixed by Jan. 1. And the draft copy of the Senate report says, "The interdependent nature of technology systems makes the severity of possible disruptions difficult to predict."
We've gone through three distinct phases of the year 2000 problem so far. First was a phase of simply alerting people responsible for computer systems to the nature of the bug. Next came the phase, which many companies and other institutions are still in, of fixing software by rewriting code or replacing programs and chips. And now, many managers are in a third phase of contingency planning, sometimes called "business continuity planning," which attempts to forecast possible disruptions and prepare for them.
But now it's time for a fourth phase, one we're only beginning to see unfold: public education and preparedness.
Most of the people who have been responsible for and knowledgeable about the Y2K bug have been so busy fixing computers that they haven't had time to think about how to educate the public, but they're beginning to regard this as the most important task for the time we have left, which is now a mere 305 days. And it's a daunting task, unprecedented in its scope and significance: how to educate each and every citizen of the United States about a relatively arcane technical problem that many citizens still do not understand or even know about.
Many communities throughout the U.S. are planning public education efforts, such as town hall meetings, media campaigns, public service announcements, brochures, and the engagement of churches, community organizations, schools and private businesses. Useful material has been developed to support such activities, especially the "Y2K Citizens' Action Guide," a small booklet published by the Utne Reader in Minnesota, available in bookstores and on the Web (http://www.utne.com/y2k/).
The challenge of public education about Y2K is especially severe in a city of the size and diversity of Los Angeles.
Frank Martinez is executive director of the city's Year 2000 Project Office, a program of the city's Information Technology Agency, and his team has been thinking about how to get the word out.
The City Council recently approved $100,000 to hire a professional public relations firm to craft a multimedia campaign to educate the public about Y2K in L.A. Martinez said his agency has received three proposals and expects to hire a PR firm this month.
"We're hoping for a multimedia campaign with public service announcements, material in libraries, police stations, social service agencies and so on," Martinez says. His agency is sending people out to community meetings and homeowners associations that request public speakers on how to prepare for Y2K. Because of limited personnel, Martinez and his staff are trying to get community organizations to hold joint meetings.
The city has a toll-free telephone number with Y2K information ([888] 356-4661), as well as a Web page with some useful tips about preparedness (http://www.cityofla.org/year2K/).
"Our main message," Martinez says, "is that the kind of preparation we are recommending is the kind of preparation that should be done on a regular basis if you live in Southern California."
He means that people in the region should observe the same kind of preparation for an earthquake or other natural disaster. That includes storing food, water, emergency supplies, prescription drugs and cash for up to a week. Cash reserves should be accumulated over the entire year, rather than in November and December, he said.
"In addition, specific to Y2K, we are recommending that people have good and accurate financial records, bank statements, credit card records, insurance policies, etc., in hard-copy form and stored in a safe place," Martinez said, adding that people should get in the habit of keeping their gas tanks filled.
Any concerns about specific devices, he added, should be addressed to the manufacturer. "We continue to believe that any disruptions will be relatively minor and of short duration, and we think we can respond quickly," Martinez said.
However, Los Angeles needs to prepare for worst-case scenarios, he noted, so all city agencies will be involved in an emergency-preparedness exercise the last weekend in May.
Public officials responsible for the Y2K problem are faced with several competing and vexing difficulties. They are typically charged with fixing the Y2K bug in public-sector computers at the same time they're supposed to be educating people about how to prepare, and both tasks are full-time jobs.
They need to strike a balance between alerting people and not fostering unnecessary and dangerous panic. They have to negotiate with some people who have alarmist agendas, and they have to reach out to communities with diverse ranges of literacy, language, familiarity with technology and capabilities. Low-income neighborhoods have to be a priority, of course, because they're likely to be least prepared and least able to set aside supplies they might need in an emergency.
Eric Utne, founder of the Utne Reader, sees a silver lining in this crisis. He says in his publication's booklet: "As we prepare for Y2K, something surprising and quite wonderful is going to happen. We're going to get to know our neighbors." This is one of those rare times, encountered usually only in war or after a natural disaster, in which the public-spiritedness of citizens will be tested, no matter what the effects of the computer bug turn out to be. Every citizen who cares about the quality of life in the nation should turn his or her attention to how to help avert a crisis and build common bonds of trust and preparedness. We have 305 days left to show how well we can work together.

My week in pop culture vlog is back! Watch to find out what I've been watching and playing this week, along with some brief thoughts!
Tag: walking dead
Review: 400 Days
My journey with the Walking Dead began with Telltale Games' standout game series, released in spring 2012. I'd always meant to start watching the show, start reading the books, but it was the game that really launched me into it.
The game really was everything I'd ever wanted from a game. I remember as a kid picking up a pre-owned copy of Final Fantasy IX, just because it was cheap, then becoming ridiculously excited in the opening scenes. You were asked a question, then given a choice with what to answer with. A choice! The game was giving you options!
From that moment on, I always looked out for games that gave you options. To me, there was (and even, there is) nothing more exciting than shaping the plot of a game. To get a different experience to someone else makes the games more realistic, in my opinion. People's lives aren't the same, so why should their game lives be?
The Walking Dead game strikes me as the perfect example of why choice-based games are brilliant. No choice specific trophies means that a platinum was possible even for a trophy whore like myself. The Heavy Rain trophy list meant you couldn't just stand by your decisions – you had to play through and opt for decisions you'd never made before, but with the Walking Dead, you really have to live with the consequences of your actions.
Brilliant voice acting and a fantastic storyline really made me love the Walking Dead game. In a list of my favourite games of 2012, it would definitely be in the top five, if not taking the top spot for itself.
It was set to be a long wait between season 1 and season 2, when the 400 Days DLC pack was announced.
The DLC is set at various points after the initial outbreak of walkers, and is from the viewpoints of five different characters. The game mechanics are exactly the same, unfortunately down to the lags at crucial points. The five character viewpoint shows you how the outbreak has affected those from all walks of life, from the schoolboy to the criminal.
As an introduction to new characters, 400 Days works perfectly, giving away just enough of each character's pasts to leave you intrigued. My only criticism, lagging aside, is that by spreading the already short DLC across five characters, you don't really have much time to really grow attached to any of the characters. Sure, after playing there are characters I have a soft spot for, but none of them come close to the torch I was holding for Lee or Clem at the end of the first episode of the first season.
What I really love about 400 Days, and about the series as a whole, is the immediacy with decision making. This can lead to some decisions being made that you will later fully regret, but what a parallel to real life!
400 Days has fully whetted my appetite for the Walking Dead game franchise once more, and I know will spawn many more conversations between my friends once they get round to playing the game. I look forward to seeing how the new characters will deal with the wide world, and just where they're headed to and what's waiting for them there.
My favourite plot twists
Last week I treated myself to a marathon session of Gossip Girl, fitting in the final series in two night time sittings. The end of the series left me in shock as it was finally revealed after six seasons in the running.
The reveal got me thinking about my favourite plot twists in popular culture, and I've picked my top five as listed below.
Obviously, this article contains spoilers, so be warned.
1. Dan Humphrey is Gossip Girl (Gossip Girl)
Not the obvious choice, but I definitely didn't see it coming. There was a brief moment where the thought entered my mind I thought it could be possible, but discarded the idea, because "It's Gossip Girl." I was definitely left with my mouth wide open when it was revealed that it had been Lonely Boy all along who was the words behind Manhattan's favourite gossip hound.
2. Scott Shelby is the Origami Killer (Heavy Rain)
Another reveal which came and hit me straight in the face. Heavy Rain enthralled me from the get go, and I enjoyed the narrative style and the playing from the viewpoint of the four main characters. It never occurred to me that the man we were all trying to hunt down was in fact one of the protagonists.
3. Cole Phelps dies (L.A. Noire)
After playing through an entire game as a character, I like to feel that I've bonded with them. Sure, I might not approve of all of their life choices (having an affair, Phelps, really?), but nevertheless, we'd been through a lot together. Imagine my surprise when Cole Phelps, out of nowhere, was washed away by a flood in the sewage system. What a way to go. A definite jaw-open, controller gripping moment, and I'm pretty sure a lot of expletives left my mouth in that moment.
4. We're all infected (The Walking Dead)
I didn't find out this gem in the Walking Dead series in the conventional manner. I was a little late to the party on this one, and found out through playing the Telltale Games series rather than through the graphic novels or television show. I was seriously shocked when this bombshell came hurtling my way, and was left worrying about the characters in the television show and the game. It was interesting knowing the information before the television show characters, but boy, was I relieved when they found out. I can't handle that much knowledge on my own.
5. Eddard Stark is killed (Game of Thrones)
I'm not going to lie to you – I was devastated when the Stark patriarch and all-round hero of Westeros was beheaded in season one of Game of Thrones, and I was devastated again when I read the book. I think it's just one of those things I'll never get over, like when Heroes was cancelled. I soon learnt the harsh rules of this game of thrones, and each death gets a little easier.

Different Types of Metal Roof Restoration Coatings
Metal roofs are ideal for residential use because they are resilient, long-lasting and easy to maintain. However, they are susceptible to damage when exposed to unfavourable conditions. For instance, steel roofs are sealed using protective layers, but the surface can be scraped by nearby tree branches. This will expose the alloy to moisture and oxygen which will cause a rusting reaction and, consequently, leaking. It is important to carry out periodic maintenance and care tasks on metal roofs to restore their performance. One of the important restoration services for old metal roofs is the application of restorative coatings. Here are the main types of coatings available in the home improvement market.
Silicone Coating
Silicone is a synthetic polymer compound which is inert and rubber-like. It has many beneficial properties such as low thermal conductivity, water-resistance, low toxicity, resistance to UV light and it is a poor substrate for microbial growth. Silicone coatings which are used to restore metal roofs are suitable because of these advantages. In addition, the products can be used without a primer which makes them easy to apply. They will restore and even improve the performance of your metal roof once the coating is bonded to the surface. The main drawback of the silicone coatings is the high cost of purchase, but the long-term benefits are worthwhile.
Acrylic Coating
Acrylic coats are made from synthetic polymers, and they are probably the most popular metal roof restoration products in the market. This can be attributed to the low cost of purchase compared to alternatives like silicone. The coating can be applied through spraying on diverse types of metals, but a primer is required to promote adhesion of the material. You will need to apply several coats of the acrylic fluid to achieve optimal thickness during the restoration project. The primary drawback of the acrylic coatings is the vulnerability of the material to pooled water since the product is water-soluble.
Aluminium Coating
Aluminium coat products are suitable for spraying or rolling application on metal surfaces. They require a layer of primer like acrylic products to adhere to the roofing material. The achieved layers are highly reflective so they offer relatively high protection against the sun's rays. In addition, a thin aluminium layer will provide protection for your old roof. This will save you money in terms of the purchase price and application of the coatings. Unfortunately, the aluminium restoration products are not designed to provide complete waterproofing so they are not suitable for limiting leaks.

[HBM is High Bandwidth Memory. -Ed.]
SK Hynix Announces 3.6 Gbps HBM2E Memory For 2020: 1.8 TB/sec For Next-Gen Accelerators
SK Hynix this morning has thrown their hat into the ring as the second company to announce memory based on the HBM2E standard. While the company isn't using any kind of flash name for the memory (ala Samsung's Flashbolt), the idea is the same: releasing faster and higher density HBM2 memory for the next generation of high-end processors. Hynix's HBM2E memory will reach up to 3.6 Gbps, which as things currently stand, will make it the fastest HBM2E memory on the market when it ships in 2020.
As a quick refresher, HBM2E is a small update to the HBM2 standard to improve its performance, serving as a mid-generational kicker of sorts to allow for higher clockspeeds, higher densities (up to 24GB with 12 layers), and the underlying changes that are required to make those happen. Samsung was the first memory vendor to announce HBM2E memory earlier this year, with their 16GB/stack Flashbolt memory, which runs at up to 3.2 Gbps. At the time, Samsung did not announce a release date, and to the best of our knowledge, mass production still hasn't begun.
[...] [SK Hynix's] capacity is doubling, from 8 Gb/layer to 16 Gb/layer, allowing a full 8-Hi stack to reach a total of 16GB. It's worth noting that the revised HBM2 standard actually allows for 12-Hi stacks, for a total of 24GB/stack, however we've yet to see anyone announce memory quite that dense.

An international team of researchers has revealed how aggressive pancreatic cancer cells change their environment to enable easy passage to other parts of the body (or metastasis) -- the main cause of pancreatic cancer related death.
The researchers discovered that some pancreatic tumours produce more of a molecule called 'perlecan' to remodel the environment around them, which helps cancer cells spread more easily to other parts of the body, and also protects them against chemotherapy. In a mouse model, the researchers showed that lowering the levels of perlecan revealed a reduction in the spread of pancreatic cancer and improved response to chemotherapy.
[...] The Garvan-led team investigated why some pancreatic cancers spread, while others appear to stay in one place. In their study, the researchers took an unconventional path -- they compared the tissue around tumour cells in both metastatic (spreading) and non-metastatic (non-spreading) pancreatic cancers. This tissue -- known as the 'matrix' -- acts like a glue that holds different cells in an organ or in a tumour together.
Using mouse models, the team extracted fibroblasts -- cells that produce most of the matrix -- from spreading and non-spreading pancreatic tumours. By mixing these different fibroblasts with cancer cells, the researchers found that remarkably, cancer cells from a non-spreading tumour began to spread when mixed with fibroblasts from a spreading tumour.
"Our results suggest that some pancreatic cancer cells can 'educate' the fibroblasts in and around the tumour. This lets the fibroblasts remodel the matrix and interact with other, less aggressive cancer cells in a way that supports the cancer cells' ability to spread," says first author Dr Claire Vennin.

Galois's prototype voting machine wasn't available for hackers to test.
For the majority of Defcon, hackers couldn't crack the $10 million secure voting machine prototypes that DARPA had set up at the Voting Village. But it wasn't because of the machine's security features that the team had been working on for four months. The reason: technical difficulties during the machines' setup.
Eager hackers couldn't find vulnerabilities in the DARPA-funded project during the security conference in Las Vegas because a bug in the machines didn't allow hackers to access their systems over the first two days. (DARPA is the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.) Galois brought five machines, and each one had difficulties during the setup, said Joe Kiniry, a principal research scientist at the government contractor.
"They seemed to have had a myriad of different kinds of problems," the Voting Village's co-founder Harri Hursti said. "Unfortunately, when you're pushing the envelope on technology, these kinds of things happen."
It wasn't until the Voting Village opened on Sunday morning that hackers could finally get a chance to look for vulnerabilities on the machine. Kiniry said his team was able to solve the problem on three of them and was working to fix the last two before Defcon ended.
The Voting Village was started in 2017 for hackers to find vulnerabilities on machines that are used in current elections. At the last two Defcons, hackers found vulnerabilities within minutes because the machines were often outdated. The Village shines a necessary light on security flaws for voters as lawmakers seek to pass an election security bill in time for the 2020 presidential election.
Many modern gadgets can be hacked to produce deafening and disorienting sounds, research has revealed.
Security researcher Matt Wixey found a range of devices had little protection to stop themselves being turned into "offensive" low-grade, cyber-weapons.
Mr Wixey tested laptops, mobile phones, headphones, a PA system and several types of speakers.
The weaknesses could cause physical harm, harass individuals or disrupt larger organisations, he said.
Mr Wixey, who is a head of research at PWC's cyber-security practice, said he conducted the experiments as part of PhD work into the ways that malware can directly cause physical harm.
He sought to find out if the volume and speaker controls of the devices could be manipulated to make them produce harmful high and low frequency sounds.
Custom-made viruses, known vulnerabilities and other exploits were used to subvert the devices and make them emit the dangerous sounds for long periods of time.
"Some attacks leveraged known vulnerabilities in a particular device, which could be done locally or remotely in some cases," he told the BBC. "Other attacks would either require proximity to the device, or physical access to it."
Bruce Schneier's blog has an entry (archive) making reference to an "interesting analysis" by Susan Landau and Asaf Lubin:
"Examining the Anomalies, Explaining the Value: Should the USA FREEDOM Act's Metadata Program be Extended?
Here's the abstract:
The telephony metadata program which was authorized under Section 215 of the PATRIOT Act, remains one of the most controversial programs launched by the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. Under the program major U.S. carriers were ordered to provide NSA with daily Call Detail Records (CDRs) for all communications to, from, or within the United States. The Snowden disclosures and the public controversy that followed led Congress in 2015 to end bulk collection and amend the CDR authorities with the adoption of the USA FREEDOM Act (UFA).
For a time, the new program seemed to be functioning well. Nonetheless, three issues emerged around the program. The first concern was over high numbers: in both 2016 and 2017, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court issued 40 orders for collection, but the NSA collected hundreds of millions of CDRs, and the agency provided little clarification for the high numbers. The second emerged in June 2018 when the NSA announced the purging of three years' worth of CDR records for "technical irregularities." Finally, in March 2019 it was reported that the NSA had decided to completely abandon the program and not seek its renewal as it is due to sunset in late 2019.
This paper sheds significant light on all three of these concerns. First, we carefully analyze the numbers, showing how forty orders might lead to the collection of several million CDRs, thus offering a model to assist in understanding Intelligence Community transparency reporting across its surveillance programs. Second, we show how the architecture of modern telephone communications might cause collection errors that fit the reported reasons for the 2018 purge. Finally, we show how changes in the terrorist threat environment as well as in the technology and communication methods they employ — in particular the deployment of asynchronous encrypted IP-based communications — has made the telephony metadata program far less beneficial over time. We further provide policy recommendations for Congress to increase effective intelligence oversight.

The US Navy will replace the touchscreen throttle and helm controls currently installed in its destroyers with mechanical ones starting in 2020, says USNI News. The move comes after the National Transportation Safety Board released an accident report from a 2017 collision, which cites the design of the ship's controls as a factor in the accident.
On August 21st, 2017, the USS John S. McCain collided with the Alnic MC, a Liberian oil tanker, off the coast of Singapore. The report provides a detailed overview of the actions that led to the collision: when crew members tried to split throttle and steering control between consoles, they lost control of the ship, putting it into the path of the tanker. The crash killed 10 sailors and injured 48 aboard the McCain.
The report says that while fatigue and lack of training played a role in the accident, the design of the ship's control console were also contributing factors. Located in the middle of the McCain's bridge, the Ship's Control Console (SCC) features a pair of touch-screens on both the Helm and Lee Helm stations, through which the crew could steer and propel the ship. Investigators found that the crew had placed it in "backup manual mode," which removed computer-assisted help, because it allowed for "more direct form of communication between steering and the SSC." That setting meant that any crew member at another station could take over steering operations, and when the crew tried to regain control of the ship from multiple stations, control "shifted from the lee helm, to aft steering, to the helm, and back to aft steering."
The NTSB report calls out the configuration of the bridge's systems, pointing out that the decision to transfer controls while in the strait helped lead to the accident, and that the procedures for transferring the controls from one station to another were complicated, further contributing to the confusion. Specifically, the board points to the touchscreens on the bridge, noting that mechanical throttles are generally preferred because "they provide both immediate and tactile feedback to the operator." The report notes that had mechanical controls been present, the helmsmen would have likely been alerted that there was an issue early on, and recommends that the Navy better adhere to better design standards.
[...] Touchscreens weren't the only issue in the collision: the report calls out that several crew members on the bridge at the time weren't familiar with the systems that they were overseeing and were inexperienced in their roles, and that many were fatigued, with an average of 4.9 hours of sleep between the 14 crew members present. The report recommended that the Navy conduct better training for the bridge systems, update the controls and associated documentation, and ensure that Navy personnel aren't tired when they're on the job.
Samsung spent years trolling Apple in commercials. Now it's cloning an iPhone feature it mocked and has deleted the ads.
Samsung has a long and illustrious history of trolling Apple in its smartphone commercials. But now the South Korean firm is cloning one of the iPhone features it once mocked, and it has quietly deleted records of the ads.
Samsung unveiled its Note 10 on Wednesday and, as has been widely observed, the phone falls in line with other new devices on the market in that it does not come with a 3.5 mm headphone jack.
[...] Samsung released a memorable advertisement in November 2017 titled "Growing Up." It features an iPhone user through the ages becoming increasingly frustrated with the limitations of his phone. In the end, he caves and buys a Samsung Galaxy. In one section, he ruefully inspects an adapter cable, which enables iPhone users to turn their charging portal into a 3.5 mm headphone jack.
Fast forward to 2019 and Note 10 customers may need a similar bit of kit to use wired headphones with their device. And as for that "Growing Up" ad, it has disappeared from some of Samsung's major YouTube channels.

SELECT code_execution FROM * USING SQLite: Eggheads lift the lid on DB security hi-jinks
At the DEF CON hacking conference in Las Vegas on Saturday, infosec gurus from Check Point are scheduled to describe a technique for exploiting SQLite, a database used in applications across every major desktop and mobile operating system, to gain arbitrary code execution.
In a technical summary provided to The Register ahead of their presentation, Check Point's Omer Gull sets out how he and his colleague Omri Herscovici developed techniques referred to as Query Hijacking and Query Oriented Programming, in order to execute malicious code on a system. Query Oriented Programming is similar in a way to return oriented programming in that it relies on assembling malicious code from blocks of CPU instructions in a program's RAM. The difference is that QOP is done with SQL queries.
[...] It must be stressed, though, that to pull off Check Point's techniques to hack a given application via SQLite, you need file-system access permissions to alter that app's SQLite database file, and that isn't always possible. If you can change a program's database file, you can probably get, or already have achieved, code execution on the system by some other means anyway.
Nonetheless, it's a fascinating look into modern methods of code exploitation, and a neat set of discoveries.
Arthur T Knackerbracket has found the following story:
We credit Socrates with the insight that 'the unexamined life is not worth living' and that to 'know thyself' is the path to true wisdom. But is there a right and a wrong way to go about such self-reflection?
Simple rumination – the process of churning your concerns around in your head – isn't the answer. It's likely to cause you to become stuck in the rut of your own thoughts and immersed in the emotions that might be leading you astray. Certainly, research has shown that people who are prone to rumination also often suffer from impaired decision making under pressure, and are at a substantially increased risk of depression.
Instead, the scientific research suggests that you should adopt an ancient rhetorical method favoured by the likes of Julius Caesar and known as 'illeism' – or speaking about yourself in the third person (the term was coined in 1809 by the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge from the Latin ille meaning 'he, that'). If I was considering an argument that I'd had with a friend, for instance, I might start by silently thinking to myself: 'David felt frustrated that...' The idea is that this small change in perspective can clear your emotional fog, allowing you to see past your biases.
A bulk of research has already shown that this kind of third-person thinking can temporarily improve decision making. Now a preprint at PsyArxiv finds that it can also bring long-term benefits to thinking and emotional regulation. The researchers said this was 'the first evidence that wisdom-related cognitive and affective processes can be trained in daily life, and of how to do so'.
The findings are the brainchild of the psychologist Igor Grossmann at the University of Waterloo in Canada, whose work on the psychology of wisdom was one of the inspirations for my recent book on intelligence and how we can make wiser decisions.

Four Most Used REST API Authentication Methods - DZone Security
While there are as many proprietary authentication methods as there are systems that utilize them, they are largely variations of a few major approaches. In this post, I will go over the four most used in the REST APIs and microservices world.
Authentication vs. Authorization
Before I dive into this, let's define what authentication actually is, and more importantly, what it's not. As much as authentication drives the modern internet, the topic is often conflated with a closely related term: authorization.
The two functions are often tied together in single solutions, but the easiest way to divide authorization and authentication is to ask: what do they actually state or prove about me?
Authentication is when an entity proves an identity. In other words, Authentication proves that you are who you say you are. This is like having a driver's license that is given by a trusted authority that the requester, such as a police officer, can use as evidence that suggests you are in fact who you say you are.
Authorization is an entirely different concept and in simple terms, Authorization is when an entity proves a right to access. In other words, Authorization proves you have the right to make a request. Consider the following — You have a working key card that allows you to open only some doors in the work area, but not all of them.
Four Most Used Authentication Methods:
- HTTP Authentication Schemes (Basic and Bearer)
- API Keys
- OAuth (2.0)
- OpenID Connect
Arthur T Knackerbracket has found the following story:
A Hyundai Kona Electric caught fire and exploded while parked inside a residential garage last Friday, dangerously (and cartoonishly) sending a large garage door flying across the street and blowing a hole in the structure's roof.
According to the CBC, it happened in Île-Bizard, an island near Montreal, Quebec. The car's owner Piero Cosentino said he saw dark smoke clouds coming from his garage before the Hyundai inside went up in flames and eventually destroyed a significant part of his house. "As soon as I saw [the clouds], I immediately turned off the breaker," Cosentino said. The Quebec man apparently purchased the Kona EV in March of this year and insists that it was not plugged in or charging at the time of the incident.
Firefighters were able to put the fire out and are currently investigating the cause of the fire. Luckily no injuries or fatalities were reported as a result of the explosion. However, Cosentino recognizes that things could have been very different if somebody had been near his garage at the time of the explosion. "If we were in front of the garage door, we could have been in the hospital," he told the CBC.

YouTube lets biggest stars off the hook for breaking rules, moderators say
If it feels like certain high-profile YouTubers get way more lenience when it comes to content moderation than everyone else does, that's apparently because they really do, according to a new report.
The Washington Post spoke with almost a dozen former and current YouTube content moderators, who told the paper that the gargantuan video platform "made exceptions" for popular creators who push content boundaries.
"Our responsibility was never to the creators or to the users," one former moderator told the Post. "It was to the advertisers."
The employees told the Post in interviews that YouTube's internal guidelines for how to rate videos are confusing and hard to follow. Workers are also "typically given unrealistic quotas by the outsourcing companies of reviewing 120 videos a day," the Post reports, which makes it difficult to scrutinize longer videos without skipping over content that may turn out to be problematic. (A YouTube spokesperson told the Post it does not give moderators quotas.)
[...] Many employees inside the company were just as unhappy with the situation as outside observers were. The decision not to ban Paul permanently from the platform "felt like a slap in the face," a moderator told the Post. "You're told you have specific policies for monetization that are extremely strict. And then Logan Paul broke one of their biggest policies and it became like it never happened."
YouTube told the Post it does indeed have two sets of content expectations, but the company said that meant higher standards for advertising partners than for the general public. That seems partly due to the fallout of the Paul incidents, which led YouTube to say it would impose stronger vetting on content in its Google Preferred program.
[...] One YouTube moderator told the Post that ultimately the bottom line is, well, the bottom line. "The picture we get from YouTube is that the company has to make money," they said. "So what we think should be crossing a line, to them isn't crossing one."
Despite making over $1.8 billion at the box office, the 2019 Lion King remake was not fully appreciated by all audiences. Many critics took aim at the lack of facial expressions. In response to the criticism artist Nikolay Mochkin and Instagram user @jonty_pressinger worked together to redo parts of the movie with deepfake style technology to give the characters more expressive range.
The result has been hailed by some as a success with people asking the duo to remake the entire movie in this style. Others have claimed the 2019 version was supposed to be live action and more realistic; that this attempt to add expression missed the point.
Yes, the original release of "The Lion King" was 25 years ago.
Google Chrome Incognito Mode Can Still Be Detected by These Methods:
With the release of Chrome 76, Google fixed a loophole that allowed web sites to detect if a visitor was using Incognito mode. Unfortunately, their fix led to two other methods that can still be used to detect when a visitor is browsing privately.
Some web sites were using Incognito mode detection in order to prevent users from bypassing paywalls or to give private browsing users a different browsing experience.
This was being done by checking for the availability of Chrome's FileSystem API, which was disabled in Incognito mode. If a site could access the FileSystem API then the visitor was in a normal browsing session and if it could not access the API the user was in Incognito mode.
As Google wanted users to be able to browse the web privately and for their browsing mode choices to be private as well, they have closed a loophole by making the API available in both browsing modes. As part of this fix, instead of using disk storage for the FileSystem API, when in Incognito mode they are using a transient memory filesystem that gets cleared when a session is closed.
The use of a memory filesystem, though, create two new loopholes that could be used to detect Incognito mode
[...] In research presented by security research Vikas Mishra, he found that when Chrome allocates storage for the temporary memory filesystem used by Incognito mode, it will have a maximum quota of 120MB.
"Based on the above observations, key differences in TEMPORARY storage quota between incognito and non-incognito mode are that in case of incognito mode, there's a hard limit of 120MB while this is not the case for non-incognito window. And from the above table it's clear that for the temporary storage quota to be less than 120MB in case of non-incognito mode the device storage has to be less than 2.4GB. However for all practical purposes it is safe to assume that the majority of the devices currently in use have more than 2.4GB of storage."
The other method relies on the fact that it takes much longer to access data in storage than in memory. As of this writing no PoC (Proof of Concept) has been released for the latter method, but a PoC has been released for the filesystem size method.
Microsoft Edge developer Eric Lawrence, the New York Times, is testing this method to detect when a visitor in in private mode.
My first thought was to put a cache ahead of all filesystem writes to obviate the write-timing hack (albeit at the risk of a system crash losing cached but as yet unwritten data). For the latter method, allocate the temporary file storage quota to be some significant fraction of free storage, but when a program tries to write more than, say, 120MB (or 256MB, or whatever) then put up a dialog box noting same and asking the user if they want to continue. That was off the top of my head; what did I miss? How would you solve this problem?

Small satellites begin to offer unrivaled detail in radar images of Earth
A Finnish company named ICEYE that is building a constellation of satellites to create synthetic images of the Earth's surface says it has taken the first sub-1 meter resolution photos of the planet with a small satellite. The images show significant detail of crude oil being loaded onto and off of tankers.
According to ICEYE co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer Pekka Laurila, since its founding in 2015 ICEYE has raised about $65 million, expanded to 120 employees, and most recently has launched three of its mini-refrigerator-sized satellites into low-Earth orbit.
For the first three years ICEYE focused on technology development, and its first payload launch occurred in January 2018 on board India's Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle. Since then ICEYE has launched two more satellites and plans to add another two by the end of this year. "It is fair to say that we are moving into commercial operations, and the scope of those commercial services are rapidly increasing," Laurila said in an interview with Ars.
In contrast to the optical instruments used by most of the existing Earth-focused imaging satellites, ICEYE uses synthetic-aperture radar technology. Its 100kg satellites use the motion of a radar antenna, combined with the time the device travels over a target, to create multi-dimensional images of the surface even through clouds, during day or night. The "synthetic" part of the antenna is due to the fact that a small antenna moving over a large distance can effectively mimic the resolution of a much larger antenna.

i had pain in low tummy in both sides while walking and lying...sometimes my tummy gets harder.also pain in innerside of main part.is it signs of labour near?
Signs of labour: photos
Now that your due date is near, you may be wondering how to tell when labour is approaching. Every woman's labour is different, but here are some tell-tale signs that the big day is near!
1 / 9
Feeling emotionalSuddenly feeling very tearful or moody can be a subtle sign that your labour is beginning. Moodiness is caused by the changing levels of hormones in your body as it prepares to give birth.
2 / 9
Disrupted sleepAre you finding it hard to sleep? Disturbed nights and a restless feeling can sometimes be signs that your labour is getting closer. Try to get as much rest as you can and lie down for a nap during the day. You will need your strength for when labour really does start!
3 / 9
NestingFeeling a sudden urge to clean and tidy your home can be a sign of approaching labour. You may find yourself tidying rooms and getting all the leftover housework done, which is known as "nesting".
If you feel the need to get things done, now is the perfect time to cook and freeze meals ready for after the birth. Make sure that you don't do too much though, as your body needs some rest in the run-up to labour.
4 / 9
Tummy painYou may notice tummy pain in the very early stages of labour. It can feel a little like period pain and you may have cramps. To ease it, try putting a hot water bottle across your tummy.
5 / 9
Lower back painIn pre-labour or early labour, you may notice a persistent back pain.
A hot water bottle, or a warm (not hot) bath, may help to soothe it while you wait for your labour to progress. A gentle massage from your partner may also help you to relax.
6 / 9
Tummy upsetAn upset tummy or loose bowels can be a sign that your labour is approaching. It shows that your body is getting itself ready.
Make sure you have plenty of water or weak squash to drink to keep yourself hydrated. And nibble on plain, starchy foods such as biscuits, crackers and bananas, to keep your energy levels up.
7 / 9
Mucus plugA brown or blood-streaked mucus discharge could be a sign that labour is getting closer. During pregnancy, the mucus plug blocks your cervix to protect your baby from infection. Once it comes out, it's a sign that your body is getting ready for labour, although it could still be a few days before things really get started.
8 / 9
Broken watersMany mums' waters break during or after the first stage of labour. However, they can sometimes break before labour begins.
Your waters may break with a gush, or they may trickle out. If you're unsure, put on a maternity pad, not a sanitary towel. That way, you'll be able to check the colour and smell easily, as the pad won't lock it away. Waters are usually clear, sometimes with a slight yellow or pink tinge.
9 / 9
ContractionsContractions are generally a clear sign that something is happening. They may be very light and irregular at first, but they will slowly get stronger and closer together as your labour progresses. Breathing through your contractions can help you to cope. If you have a TENS machine, now is the perfect time to use it.
Find out more about the stages of labour, make sure you have everything you need in your hospital bag, and learn what to expect in the moments after the birth.

I am 39 weeks and I cry alot over silly things. I dont want to be alone as I feel very lonely. It's hard to sleep for a long time. Back pains when I sleep. I am always worrying
I can't feel much about my baby movement but actually does when I rub my tommy. The doctor is asking me to come for induction. Scan shows everything is OK. Is it possible I wait for natural labour and what exercises can prompt that
This information is so helpful!
A BabyCentre Member09/08/18
I have had all of these signs apart from mucus plug and waters breaking. I am feeling so emotional today and just want my partner to come home from work. Due date is in 3 days!

Leading the Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) rumor mill today is news about 2020 MacBooks. Today, we'll look at that and other Apple Rumors for Friday.
2020 MacBooks: A recent rumor claims that Apple is going to bring 5G to the MacBook lineup next year, reports MacRumors. This rumor claims that the tech company will have its 5G MacBooks ready for sale in the second half of 2020. The source of this rumor also says that other laptop manufacturers will be releasing devices with 5G connectivity later this year. It also notes that AAPL's 5G laptop will outperform others with a better antenna.
iPad Card: It looks like iPad owners are also going to be able to make use of the Apple Card, Bloomberg notes. According to the publication, AAPL will be releasing a new app for its tablets specifically so they can work with the payment card. This is due to the iPad not having its own version of the Wallet app. The terms and conditions also make mention of the Card being available on iPad devices.
FTC Investigation: Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Apple are facing an investigation from the FTC, reports 9to5Mac. This investigation has to do with the deal that allows AAPL to sell its products on AMZN through an official storefront. The problem is that it doesn't allow for anyone else to sell the tech company's devices on Amazon. As such, that excludes third-party sellers from using the platform to sell those devices. It's possible that the deal is illegal and changes may have to be made.

Blueberry Syrniki (Russian cheese pancakes) Творожные Сырники!
Crafty Cooking by Anna
1 package of Lifeway Bazarny Premium White Cheese or 1 pound Farmer's cheese (2 pkgs Friendship brand)
2 Eggs
1 Tbsp. Baileys' Coffee Creamer - Crème Brulee (or use 1 tsp. Vanilla extract)
2 Tbsp. Sugar or more if you like
½ tsp. Salt
½ Cup Flour
½ Cup Blueberries (optional)
extra flour, for drenching
oil for frying (used 2 Tbsp. Light Olive and 1 Tbsp. Hazelnut for added flavor, vegetable oil can be used as well)
Empty the package of white cheese into a large bowl and shred or mash it well with a fork so that you have small curds.
Add in eggs, creamer, sugar and salt. Mix well.
Add flour and blueberries (if using) and gently combine.
Add flour to your workspace. The easiest way to make these looking uniformed is to place the cheese mixture into the flour and rolling it into a long log covering well with flour on all sides.
Cut the dough into equal pieces.
Take each piece and dust with flour. Shape into ¾ inch thick circles. Make sure the syniki are not sticky on any sides.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add about 3 tbsp. of oil . Reduce heat to medium-low.
Gently place floured syrniki into the pan and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown.
Transfer to a warm plate and cover. Continue with another batch.
Serve with sour cream or jam, or both!!! :-)
