Adoption fees will be waived at the first ever MINI Paws Big Hearts adoption event

Yahoo12-02-2025
HONOLULU (KHON2) — Hawaiian Humane Society's Manager of Communications, Brandy Shimabukuro, and MINI of Hawaii's Store Manager, Miles Escajeda, joined Wake Up 2Day with details on an upcoming adoption event.'We are thrilled to partner with MINI of Hawaii to turn their Kapolei showroom into a pet paradise! This Saturday, February 15 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., we're hosting our first ever MINI Paws Big Hearts adoption event in partnership with MINI of Hawaii. Everyone is invited to join us to meet Hawaiian Humane's dogs and cats who will be available for adoption on-site and enjoy some delicious grinds. Plus, the best part? MINI of Hawaii is covering all of the adoption fees, not just at the event, but at both our Mōʻiliʻili and Kosasa Family campuses as well! To learn more about this and other upcoming events, visit HawaiianHumane.org.'
Brandy shared an introduction, to an adoptable and loving senior dog, Kona, 'Meet Kona! Kona is a 9-year-old, 28-lb terrier mix who has been waiting for a home since November 2024. Sadly, Kona's previous owner passed away and her remaining family was no longer able to provide for her care. She came into our Mōʻiliʻili Campus having tested positive for heartworm disease, a serious, but preventable illness that is spread by infected mosquitos. She thrived under our Veterinary Services' team's tender, loving care and just finished her round of heartworm treatment and is now ready to live her best life in a loving home!'

'While this sweet senior girl can be a little shy at first, it doesn't take long for this gentle, affectionate pup's personality to shine. She'll quickly become your constant, loving companion, preferring to cuddle up by your side or tagging along with you to dog-friendly cafes, parks and beaches. This resilient girl has been through a lot in her nine years, and she definitely deserves a loving home to live out her golden years. You can meet Kona at our Mōʻiliʻili Campus daily from 11 am to 6 pm.'
Miles hopes that this collaboration through MINI of Hawaii will bring joy to the public. 'MINI of Hawaii is all about bringing joy to our community, and what brings more joy than the unconditional love of a furry family member? Plus, our team members are huge animal lovers. The Hawaiian Humane Society finds loving homes for more than 7,800 animals each year, and MINI of Hawaii wanted to support their work in a meaningful way by sponsoring all of the adoption fees, not just at this event, but also on that day (Saturday, February 15th) at Hawaiian Humane's two campuses as well. Our goal is for every dog and cat at the event to find a loving home on Saturday. We invite everyone to join us, meet Hawaiian Humane's adoptable dogs and cats of all ages, enjoy some ʻono grinds and get to know our friendly, knowledgeable team!'

I still love VLC, but this lightweight video player changed the game for me

Andy Walker / Android Authority VLC Player has been my go-to video app for years, dating back to the good ol' Windows XP days. That loyalty progressed to Android, and I still use it across desktop and mobile for my video content needs. While it remains a powerful product, VLC often feels cumbersome when I crave simplicity. Why opt for a piledriver when you need a chisel? I searched for a secondary player for more immediate video viewing tasks a few months ago and discovered Next Player. Although it's not as feature-rich as VLC, this is to its benefit. I believe the veteran player could learn a lot from this underdog. What is your preferred video player app on Android? 0 votes VLC Player NaN % Next Player NaN % My phone's default video player (mention the app in the comments). NaN % Another third-party app (mention the app in the comments). NaN % Next Player excels in design and usability Andy Walker / Android Authority What Next Player lacks in features, it makes up for in design. It's one of the most visually appealing Android apps I've used in ages, fully utilizing Material You and sensible element placements. The app offers two settings menus: one for home screen organization and another for additional tweaks and toggles. I'm never more than two screens away from the home screen, and since I've set up the environment to my liking, I rarely have to revisit these menus. Its clean design initially attracted me, but Next Player's strength is its straightforward functionality. Its clean design initially attracted me, but Next Player's strength is its straightforward functionality. The home screen's organizational options are somewhat customizable, but it displays only folders containing supported content by default. This makes it easy to jump into a directory and start watching content immediately. The video player itself is a core part of the video player experience, and I find Next's interface much easier to use. While VLC often hides important icons behind an overflow menu, Next offers immediate access to core controls on the player screen. VLC Player Next Player I have a habit of accidentally swiping or tapping on the screen or seek bar while watching content, leading me to lock content when it's on my display. Next Player's lock icon is conveniently located at the screen's bottom left corner, whereas VLC's is hidden in its overflow menu. I prefer not to tap multiple times to access this vital setting, so Next Player wins this battle. Overall, Next Player's controls are more relevant to my experience than those provided by VLC. I don't always need to select a subtitle track, but I often want to pop out my video player or adjust the playback speed. Yes, VLC has more options on tap, but the controls I use most aren't readily available. I wish both players allowed users to customize which icons are on screen, but Next Player suits my needs best for now. I don't always need to select a subtitle track, but I often want to pop out my video player or adjust the playback speed. It's also worth mentioning the speed of the two players. I find Next far smoother when accessing anything on the player screen. Single-tapping to bring up or hide icons is performed with a fluid, swift animation. VLC feels decidedly lumbering in comparison. The app also has problems with cut-off icons due to their size or location on my rounded display. Next is far neater in almost every aesthetic aspect. VLC still reigns in some areas, but not all Andy Walker / Android Authority As much as I've grown to like Next Player, I still use VLC to browse my NAS's video files directly if I don't want to use my file manager. It excels at streaming media and casting to supported devices. VLC also lets me browse audio files, create playlists for uninterrupted viewing or listening, or switch to its Android TV app on my Chromecast. These are features that Next Player doesn't have. These features have made VLC a brilliant app, but I'm slowly realizing I privilege usability above these options. Next Player offers just that. Follow

Applications Open for DIGIMON ALYSION Beta — GeekTyrant

I have very limited experience with the Digimon Card Game that launched in 2020/2021 (depending on where you live), but I did enjoy that. Now, Bandai Card Games has announced that applications for the closed beta test of Digimon Alysion are open now until August 3 at 1:59 AM UTC! Digimon Alysion is a mobile game 'based on the widely popular Digimon Card Game ' that appears to basically be Digimon 's equivalent of Master Duel , Pokémon TCG Live , or MTG Arena . Digimon Alysion is a mobile game for smartphones based on the widely popular Digimon Card Game, which is available in four different languages to consumers around the world. The app brings the excitement of the trading card game to both Android and iOS mobile devices—allowing players to build decks with their favorite Digimon and engage in thrilling card battles against others. One cool feature is that Digimon Alysion will have an original story set in the world as the Digimon Liberator comic and novel. There will also be new characters and Digimon as well as Digimon following brand new evolution lines. Digimon Alysion does not have a release date for the full version, but this closed beta test is a good sign. The test period will be August 20025 with a maximum number of 10,000 participants. When it does eventually drop, Digimon Alysion will be available on Android and iOS. I know that I cannot wait to be able to more easily engage with the Digimon Card Game !
