Ricci Rivero. UAAP PHOTO MANILA, Philippines — Signing with Taoyuan was worth the wait for Ricci Rivero after he stayed focused and committed to complete University of the Philippines’ historic title run in the UAAP before pondering on his professional career. The 24-year-old revealed to Inquirer Sports that Taoyuan has been in talks with his handlers at Virtual Playground even before the UAAP Season 84 men’s basketball tournament. But his management decided not to tell him right away to avoid any distractions in his final playing year. “They reached out to Virtual Playground even before the UAAP started. But I remained committed to UP,” said Rivero in Filipino after signing as Taoyuan’s world import in the P.League+. “When Season 84 was still ongoing, they were in talks with sir Charlie Dy. But I don’t have any idea about it to avoid any distractions during the season.” “I just learned the offer right after we won the championship,” he added. His commitment to the … [Read more...] about Ricci Rivero to draw inspiration from OFWs in Taiwan stint

Hydrogen is an energy source that emits zero greenhouse gases when burned. The only waste product is water vapor. That makes it a cleaner alternative energy source than fossil fuels like natural gas, oil, and coal. The drawback to hydrogen as a fuel source is that we rarely find it in a gaseous form. And although we can produce hydrogen from a variety of sources, some of those methods emit greenhouse gases. On top of that, we don't yet make it at the scale needed to be economically competitive with fossil fuels. However, that could change in the coming years. Several companies are working hard to tap into the enormous potential for this potentially emission-free fuel. Here's a look at some of the leading hydrogen stocks. Image source: Getty Images. What to know about investing in hydrogen There are several ways to produce hydrogen. Some methods result in the production of carbon dioxide as a byproduct. The industry labels these forms "blue hydrogen." Using … [Read more...] about 5 Hydrogen Stocks to Watch

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin What with the recent Sonic the Hedgehog movies doing so well at the box office, it was somewhat inevitable that we would get a gaming collection like this. However, Sonic Origins hasn’t phoned it in and is actually pretty great. Sonic Origins comprises of four Sonic games, the original Sonic the Hedgehog , Sonic CD , Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Sonic the Hedgehog 3 . You can either play them in widescreen Anniversary mode (shown above), with infinite lives, or in Classic mode (shown below) that has a 4:3 aspect ratio and with a limited number of lives. This is actually quite a shrewd setup, as it means that newer players can slam through the four games in Anniversary mode and then try their skills at how the games were originally intended with Classic mode later on. You also get a Boss Rush mode and a new Mission Mode, which allows you to play through the games back-to-back. To bookend … [Read more...] about ‘Sonic Origins’ Switch Review: A Great Introduction To ‘Sonic The Hedgehog’ For Newer Players

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin “We draft people first and players second,” said Thunder GM Sam Presti last summer. When Santa Clara guard Jalen Williams was taken No. 12 overall in Thursday night’s draft, it was surprising to some. However, when you dig deeper into his game and personal story it makes complete sense. A late bloomer, Williams wasn’t on many NBA teams’ radars as a top pick until after his final college season. At the Thunder’s rookie introductory press conference on Saturday, Presti even admitted that the team didn’t truly consider Williams in the lottery until later in the draft process. “The truth on Jalen is our eyes really opened later to him in this process,” Presti said. “I wish I could tell you that last year at Santa Clara I could say we knew this guy was a lottery pick. That wasn’t the case.” It took a spectacular pre-draft process on and off the court to spark what ended up being a perfect scenario for both parties. … [Read more...] about Behind The Scenes: OKC Thunder Rookie Jalen Williams’ Ascension Into Draft Lottery

It’s fitting that Dish Network Corp. Chairman Charlie Ergen is set to speak to Wall Street just as the wireless industry’s merger moratorium is lifted. His company’s massive stockpile of airwaves figures heavily in the speculation over who will buy whom. Douglas County-based Dish reports earnings Monday, just days after the end of a government-imposed quiet period related to a federal sale of wireless spectrum. In that auction and other deals over the past decade, Ergen’s satellite-TV company compiled $34.7 billion worth of nation-blanketing airwaves. Ergen kept buying spectrum even after an effort to merge with Sprint Corp. fizzled a few years ago, and investors have been trying to figure out his endgame ever since. Now, with a merger-friendly Republican administration in place, Ergen has a chance to finally do something with all those assets — if the notoriously prickly billionaire can find a willing partner, perhaps in T-Mobile US, Verizon Communications or Comcast. The … [Read more...] about In merger-friendly GOP administration, Dish’s Ergen gets chance to play kingmaker
