The Samsung Galaxy Note8 is a pretty shinny thing, but like all shinny surfaces, they would get finger smudges and this can be pretty annoying.
Samsung Galaxy Note8 did however pass a recent durability test, but most of us, myself included would prefer to be rather careful when handling the phone anyway, hence the need for a casing.
Therefore I am sure a lot of you would look to cover the Note8 casing, and here's some really nice casings you can consider, found from AliExpress, a premium online shopping site I use.
Nothing makes your Samsung Galaxy Note8 stick out among the rest than a 3D casing with sick designs. Of course, if you asked me, the Spiderman 3D casing for the Note8 is pretty nice. You can get the 3D Samsung Galaxy Note8 casing at USD5.26 per piece, inclusive of free shipping.
Most of the time, casings add thickness and weight to the phone, and those standard silicon casings are pretty ugly. This particular one I found is so ultra thin that it only adds 0.5mm to the phone. It is also quite a looker with 9 colours to choose from. This ultra thin Samsung Galaxy Note8 casing comes at only USD4.99 inclusive of shipping.
The Samsung Galaxy Note8 is quote a looker, and it would be a shame to hide the glossy rear of the phone. This is why this transparent case for the Samsung Galaxy Note8 might be a good idea. The USD3.99 transparent Samsung Galaxy Note8 case ensures the beauty of the phone remains seen, and protects the phone from damages.
Perhaps buying from AliExpress is new to you, but I have found over the years that AliExpress offers cheaper prices than most online shops. This is because most online sellers get their items from China, and China is sort of like the major place to make a lot of items.


Data analysts like myself who have been trained as natural scientists and engineers tend to think of data solely as numbers. On the other hand, social scientists know that much information can also be extracted from textual data. Visualization of text using devices such as wordclouds can be very informative, particularly when more than one set of text are compared. The new Statgraphics 18 interface to R provides access to the "tm" text mining package, which opens up new avenues for extracting information from text.
On January 30, 2018 President Donald Trump presented his first State of the Union message to Congress. The United States Constitution requires every president on a regular basis to "give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient." The speech gives the President a chance to present his views and priorities to the nation, and much may be learned by examining the text of that speech.
The size of each word is proportional to the number of times that the word appeared in the speech. Words occurring less than 3 times are not included. Not surprisingly, variations of the word "America" appear most frequently. Trump also talked a lot about "tax" and making America "great", "safe" and "strong" again. You can also see that he talked a lot about immigration, drugs, terrorists, and work. The terms "family", "home" and "world" were also used frequently.
Again, variations of the word "America" are common. You don't see as much emphasis on crime and terrorism, but you do see a lot more emphasis on "financial" matters, "loans", "banks", the "economy", "health", "recovery" and the "deficit".
The length of each section of a bar reflects the proportion of times that each term occurred in the 2 speeches. If a word occurred the same proportion of time in each speech, then half the bar would be red and half would be blue. Common word endings have been removed, so that words like "job" and "jobs" are counted as a single term. There are some surprises, with Obama talking more frequently about the economy and Trump talking more frequently about the world.
Here you see the terms (with common word endings removed) sorted from most frequent to least frequent. This plot shows similar information to the mosaic chart, with the terms sorted from most used to least used.
Clearly, a lot of information is contained in data that aren't numeric.


I find it astonishing that John McCain thinks that we should just follow along with President Bush's economic policies. But I guess when you're the candidate of same-old same-old you shouldn't expect much.
In this clip, McCain surrogate/advisor Lindsey Grahamexplains to us that McCain's policies will be an "extension and enhancement" of Bush.
McCain is so out of touch he thinks we should cut taxes for megacorps like ExxonMobil while gas just crossed the $4/gal threshold.
As John McCain said: That's not change we can believe in... my friends.

'Yellow Submarine' Meets Adult Swim in Bullet Hell Shoot-Em-Up 'Freedom Finger'
By Brian Crecente

"Freedom Finger" is a hand-drawn, hand-animated shoot-em-up that smashes together the 60s' aesthetic of "Yellow Submarine" with the irreverent humor of Adult Swim.
It's also the first video game creation of Wide Right Interactive, a new Buffalo, New York-based game studio headed up by Jim Dirschberger.
"I created a kid show on Nickelodeon called 'Sanjay and Craig' and I worked with Nolan North and John DiMaggio and a team of really great artists," Dirschberger said. "And I don't know, I've always been a gamer and after doing a TV show I wanted to do something more interactive and I just said, 'What the hell? Let's make a game.' So I brought over a lot of the team that worked on that show, a lot of the cast and we've been jamming on that for about two years."
The result is a visually rich side-scrolling space shooter that has players controller rocketship in the shape of a giant armored fist with its middle finger extended. The ship has to blast and punch its way through nearly 40 levels to beat the game, but things get really interesting when it grabs enemies. Once it grabs an enemy ship it gains that ship's firing ability. The ones that can't fire, the giant space hand can toss at enemies.

'SpongeBob' Voice Cast on Acting Together in Live-Action for 20th Anniversary Special
The idea to create a game inspired by retro shooters came from both Dirschberger's love of the genre, and the fact he says he's not very good at them.
"I love games like 'R-Type,' bullet hell games, but modern bullet hell games gives me massive anxiety, so I thought I'd create a, I dunno, bullet light game. Some people describe it as if Kirby was a (shoot-em-up). It's a little bit slower paced.
"So I love shooters, especially bullet hells, but I suck at them. So there's no game that really scratched that itch that didn't send me up the walls. So there was a hole in the marketplace and I thought, let's fill it.
Dirschberger said all of the game's art was designed by LA-based illustrator Travis Millard.
"He does a lot of like concert graphics, album artwork for like Dinosaur Jr.," he said. "We try and keep it as close to the animation that I love. That's like television quality, hand-drawn pencil on paper kind of stuff. The music is crazy. Each level in the game has a unique song and that kind of drives the action.
"So if it's like a slower song by a guy like Com Truise, it's more like mellow and atmospheric. But if you get a song by like Red Fang or Metz it's going to be bat-shit fast."
The game's 37 levels include bosses, a story and even some branching paths, so "Freedom Finger" was designed to be replayable.
Dirschberger said at the studio's peak there were about 18 people working on the game, which is set for a release by the end of the summer on WIndows PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Currently, just seven people are working on the game as they finish polishing up the title.
While there currently aren't any plans for the game to come to the Nintendo Switch, Dirschberger said he was looking into that.
"We've been talking to some people here at PAX and we're hopeful," he said. "That's been the number one thing that everyone's asking, 'Where's the Switch port? Where's the switch port?' We've heard those people and we're going to do everything we can to get it on the Switch ASAP."
"Freedom Finger" is Dirschberger's first game, and he's not entirely sure yet if the studio will make another.
"I don't know," he said when asked. "Some days I feel like game dev not even once, you know, it's so hard. It's much harder than any feature film or television show I've ever made or worked on. But the reward is much greater. You know? Like especially here at PAX, watching people play it and laugh at the story or when they can grab any enemy."
Asked, given his history in television, if "Freedom Fighter" could ever become a show, Dirschberger said it's a possibility.
"Oh my God, that would be insane," he said. " It would definitely be like an Adult-Swim type show. I'm actually doing a pilot with Adult Swim right now, so maybe I'll pitch it to them."

Q: Calling Objective-C class from basic C, xcode project I am try to implement an cocoa  application For USB Detection. Whenever user connects the USB  it automatically detected, this entire part is one C program (Normal C) is orking Fine.
My need is if the system detects a particular USB device, I want to call another application (i.e. another cocoa application) using system function. I open that application, but my problem is if the user removes that USB device (this is also detected in C program), I want to close the second application automatically.
Or, if I add a cocoa user interface/objective-c class in the first application, is it possible to call that class from inside the C program?

A: One class you could use for this is NSDistributedNotificationCenter. Your C program would need to post notifications and your other program(s) would subscribe to them. The scenario would go like this:

*

*Second App: on launch register to receive "USB Device Removed" messages

*C Program: dectect removed USB device

*C Program: post notification "USB Device Removed"

*Second App: receives notification "USB Device Removed"

*Second App: quits itself

Of course your C program would now become an objective-c program. There is also C alternative, which is CFNotificationCenterGetDistributedCenter.

A: If the object already exists and you can pass a pointer to it, you can use the Objective-C runtime function objc_msgSend. For example:
#include <objc/runtime.h>
#include <objc/message.h>

void sendDoneToApp(id app)
{
    /* [app done]; */

    /* get selector for "done" */
    SEL doneSel = sel_registerName("done");

    /* cast objc_msgSend to the type we need */
    void (*sendNoArgsNoRet)(id obj, SEL selector) = (void (*)(id, SEL))objc_msgSend;

    /* send the message */
    sendNoArgsNoRet(app, doneSel);
}

A: Yes it is possible. You could for example look at how libdispatch/Grand Central Dispatch manages this.
The basic idea is to pass C function-pointers + void-pointers to your C library. And then in the passed function you can call Obj-C functions. Example:
struct test_s {
    NSString *my_string;
};

void my_function(void *data) {
    struct test_s *context = data;
    NSLog(@"%@", [@"Hello " stringByAppendingString:context->my_string];
}

void main(void) {
    struct test_s context = { @"World!" };

    /* dispatch_sync_f is a C function unaware of Obj-C */
    dispatch_sync_f(dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0),
                    &context,
                    my_function);
}

Police to use unmarked HGV 'supercabs' on the M25 to catch dodgy drivers
By Juliana Cruz-Lima
jcruzlima@thekmgroup.co.uk
Police will use unmarked HGV 'supercabs' to patrol the M25 in Kent.
The two-week crackdown, called Operation Orbital, began today as a bid to improve safety and reduce accidents.
National Highways and police launch Operation Orbital
The undercover vehicles will allow police to catch drivers using mobile phones, not wearing seatbelts and any other offences.
Officers will film evidence of unsafe driving by pulling up alongside vehicles. The drivers will then be pulled over by police cars following a short distance behind.
The 'supercabs' have de-restricted speed limiters, meaning they can travel at speeds up to the national speed limit, and have flashing lights in case of an emergency.
Colin Evans, regional road safety coordinator for National Highways in the South East, said: "Over 7,500 vehicles travel round the M25 every hour, ranging from commuters getting to work to haulage firms delivering goods along the route or overseas.

"The vast majority of drivers obey the law but a few are risking potentially devastating consequences by not carrying out appropriate checks before setting off or by driving dangerously.
"The two weeks of action will see enforcement agencies carrying out checks along the M25 to help improve safety for everyone."
National police chiefs' council lead for roads policing, Chief Constable Jo Shiner, said the operation was a successful collaboration between the police and National Highways and added: "We remain committed to tackling those who take unnecessary risks with their own safety and the safety of others on our roads by allowing themselves to be distracted while driving.
"The consequences of these actions are often devastating. We will continue to work alongside National Highways on Operation Orbital and will take action against drivers who ignore the risks."
Co-ordinated by National Highways, Operation Orbital involves DVSA and police forces from the Metropolitan Police, City of London Police, Hertfordshire, Essex, Kent, Surrey and Thames Valley Police.
The two-week crackdown began today
DVSA's director of enforcement, Marian Kitson, said: "DVSA's priority is to protect people from unsafe drivers and vehicles.
"This action, alongside our partners, is to stop people cutting corners on road safety. Every driver or operator has a responsibility to check their vehicle is in a roadworthy condition before beginning a journey.
"DVSA is here to support those operators and drivers who do comply and are safe on our roads. We want to ensure they are not disadvantaged by dangerous and reckless road use.
"We endeavour to support drivers and operators to remain safe, which is why we have produced guidance accessible on GOV.UK to empower commercial road users to make the M25 safe for everybody."

These days a telecom glossary is necessary to keep track of the growing number of phrases, acronyms, and idioms of the telecom world. They resemble an alphabet soup—messier than most people can handle.
Keeping up with all of the new terms can be difficult, if not impossible, especially without a telecom glossary or reference of some type.
One of the resources we use is Newton's Telecom Dictionary. Harry Newton, former publisher of Teleconnect and six other monthly magazines for the telecommunications industry, has compiled an amazing reference for all things telecom.
What? Buy a Telecom Reference Book?
the "bible" of the telecommunications, networking, Internet, the Cloud, computer and information technology industries. It earned this reputation through its widespread adoption for training, for management and sales understanding of industry jargon, technology and management practices. Substantially expanded, the 28th edition has 27,805 definitions; with 827 new definitions and 2500 updates and rewrites, reflecting recent industry changes. This "dictionary" is really an encyclopedia of the technology industry since many of the "definitions" are several pages long and explain the practical pros and cons of using particular technology.
On the first few pages you'll also find some unexpected, but fun sections.
Oh, you heard me right. Fun and telecom—and we aren't just talking SIP trunking and Virtual LANs here, although one often wonders how it could get more exciting than that?
For example, topics like, "The Hottest Telecom Opportunities" tell users where the industry is headed and where opportunities will expand. My favorite section though, is "The Best Money Saving Tips." These are tips on everything from traveling overseas to why everyone needs a shredder. Mr. Newton's hilarious observations remind users never to call area codes 809, 284 and 876.
You'll have to read his comments.
Yes, I have a Newton's Telecom Dictionary on my bookshelf—a few actually, from different years—but these days I will typically do a Google search for a new term before I grab my dictionary.
To help our partners and end-users, we have compiled a telecom glossary of terms with some of the most frequently sought-after terms. Keeping the PSTN, ITSP, CDR and SBC separate is much easier with this handy telecom glossary.
Have suggestions for other terms we should add? What would you like to see in addition to this telecom glossary?

Unleash your inner Khaleesi with this new dragon egg candle from Firebox. The Hatching Dragon Candle starts out as an egg. As it melts the porcelain baby dragon hidden inside is revealed.
The egg is a golden color. The dragon inside is red, green or black. Firebox says the dragon color choice is random. The dragon will turn black as the candle melts but the black soot is easily wiped away.
Firebox says, "Whilst you'll never be able to fully train a dragon (no matter what Dreamworks might have you believe), this hatchling gives you the unique opportunity to nurture a close bond while it's still young."
The candle costs $43.29 and can be found here on Firebox.com.

Cape Coral man shoots dog after it attacks his wife
A husband and wife were doing yard work when the dog ran over and bit the woman on her finger and backside.

CAPE CORAL, Fla. - A man shot a dog in Cape Coral after it attacked his wife.
It happened Sunday just before 3 p.m. in the 2300 Block of NE 36th Street.

According to the police report, the dog came at the couple three times. In fear of a fourth attack, the man ran to his garage to retrieve a handgun. He fired shots at the dog, striking it twice.
The owner of the dog said the canine was shot in the neck and leg. She said "Beastie" is a 6-year-old German Shepherd that rarely goes outside other than for its vaccinations and is very friendly.
She said it accidentally got outside on Sunday. They tried to get the dog when it escaped but were unsuccessful.
The owner said a gun third shot missed the dog and hit her garage door.
The dog was taken to Animal ER of SW Florida for its injuries. The owner said the dog is out of surgery, heavily sedated and recovering. He is expected to be okay.
The neighbors have never had issues with the dog before.
Both said it's an unfortunate situation. The Animal Services investigation is ongoing.


The journey from signing up, getting accepted into Oxford, boarding the plane to meet what would become an amazing group of intelligent, accomplished, kind hearted and fun-loving group from around the world…to sitting in a room with 200 some odd Oxford students dressed in our sub fusc, sweating bullets, afraid to turn the page to see the questions on the other side for our first exam….then, a sigh of relief, boarding the plane once again, only to begin the process once again. In June we would return for our third module!
Did I say third module? Really…the time is flying so fast. At first you think that the programme is a year, you have to fly to the UK taking time out of your schedule away from your families four times for the year…you think of the difficulty, the expense, the stress involved in juggling multiple priorities…but I have to say, the friendships, the exchange of ideas, the experience, the depth of learning and understanding, the ridiculously intellectually stimulating faculty, our amazing director Mari Sako, the beautiful Oxford filled with its rich history…I can go on and on…needless to say…the experience and learning far outweighs any difficulty you face.
I have loved every minute of my time at Oxford. Thousands of dollars later, with a much smaller savings than I started with…a two year old son that I may have traumatized by leaving him to fly to another country so frequently, I have to say… I have absolutely no regrets! I don't know where this path will lead me. I just know that I started with the intent to find a new and challenging path in my career and found much more than I ever expected. The program has exceeded my expectations. I have attended three universities from three different countries prior to attending Oxford…this is by far my favorite.
And so it begins once again…we wait with baited breath until three weeks prior to the start of our next module, for our "EXAM CASE"…your life stops in a way when you get your case…searching the web, reading everything you can, using multiple methods of study in case one fails…having numerous conference calls at odd hours of the night and morning with your cohorts, stressing out everyone around you…and finally boarding the plane once again, getting all dressed up in our sub fusc once again…to take our second exam. But first, we await our first results…YIKES!
grateful to you if you please help in this regards.


The United Nations has urged Australia to resettle the refugees who have been languishing on Manus Island and Nauru for the past five years, rather than focusing on the plight of persecuted white South African farmers.
But the Government has told the refugees they will never be resettled in Australia and can either return to their home country, continue living in PNG and Nauru or move to Cambodia.
Earlier this year, Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton asked his department to look at ways of resettling white South African farmers arguing they deserved special attention from a "civilised country".
Under Australia's humanitarian program, anyone seeking asylum can apply for a refugee visa or, in a small number of cases, a special humanitarian visa.
The UNHCR plays a crucial role in the process as the agency identifies the vast majority of people in need of protection and refers them to Australia for resettlement.
Since the issue of persecuted white farmers hit the headlines in Australia, the Federal Government said it had received a "number of applications from South Africans", although it is unclear whether they have applied for protection.
The Government has so far ruled out a special visa category for the white South Africans and has been at pains to point out that Australia's immigration program does not discriminate.
But it is still under pressure from a group of conservatives to help the farmers, with some even suggesting a one-off intake similar to Australia's response to the Syrian crisis.

Jake Balser Attorney
"At Arnold & Itkin, we are honored when people feel they can turn to us in the most difficult moments of their lives. When something bad happens and your world feels like it's coming apart, we do more than take your case—we take your side and fight for you harder than anyone else."
As a young man, Jake Balser witnessed firsthand the power of the law to give a voice to the voiceless. Ever since, he has dedicated himself to helping people fight for their lives in court or in mediation. Jake is proud to serve his neighbors and community as a personal injury lawyer, helping families rebuild their lives after life-altering accidents.
Meet Jake Balser
Jake was born in Provo, Utah and is the second of six children. Competitive and driven from a young age, Jake excelled on the playing field in football, baseball, and soccer, as well as in the classroom. After graduating high school, Jake set aside athletic and academic scholarship offers and chose to serve as an LDS missionary for two years in eastern Ukraine, where he taught himself to speak Russian.
After returning from Ukraine, Jake attended Brigham Young University and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Russian Studies. It was at BYU that Jake's interest in the law began. While interning in Moscow, Russia for an international human rights organization and an NGO focused on government transparency and nuclear weapons nonproliferation, Jake saw first-hand how the law could hold the powerful accountable and help those with nowhere else to turn. Those experiences inspired Jake to pursue a legal career to help others.
Shortly after returning from Moscow, Jake enrolled in law school at Georgetown University. At Georgetown, Jake interned at the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah for the Honorable Robert J. Shelby and was an online development editor for The American Criminal Law Review.
Jake began working as a law clerk for Arnold & Itkin during his second year of law school and was immediately impressed with the passion, integrity, and determination Arnold & Itkin had for helping those who had been injured by the careless actions of others. Jake was proud to continue working for Arnold & Itkin as an attorney upon being admitted to the Texas Bar in November 2018.
When he has free time, Jake enjoys road trips with his wife and daughter, reading Louis L'Amour, playing sports, and listening to his growing record collection. Jake and his family reside in Houston.

Q: How do I use integers and floats within an object correctly? So I'm trying to write a program that keeps track of various attributes of wineries that has the following attributes.
-Dynamically allocated memory
-Integers to keep track of the year the winery started
-Floats for the success rating and acres of land the vineyards take up.
-Functions to add, remove, display (by rating and by name), and save the winery data.
I've already written/debugged code to work with a similar program where all the attributes were cstrings, and this code is based off the same framework.
My problem is that the same code that works for dynamically allocated cstrings doesn't work with integers or floats and I'm getting conversion error messages from the compiler. I have a list class that contains aWinery and since I'm using private members to hide the data I have functions to pass from the client program into the list and into aWinery. The functions with the same types are identical so I only include one of each type here.
Could someone point out what I'm doing wrong? I don't know how I would return through the parameters if aWinery's definition of the int and floats were not pointers. The only examples of dynamic memory programming I can find with classes use cstrings. I've noted a couple points in the code that I copied from an instructor because I couldn't figure it out.
EDIT: the specific error I'm getting is invalid conversion from int* to int\n year = this->year which some permutation of occurs in all of the aWinery's integer and float based accessor and mutator functions.

A: I think the bulk of your problem is in the header, here:
private:
   char* name;
   char* location;
   int* year;
   float* acres;
   float* successRating;

There's really no reason to use pointers for any of these member variables; you might as well make them all plain-old by-value members, like this:
private:
   std::string name;
   std::string location;
   int year;
   float acres;
   float successRating;

Note that I replaced the (char *) member variables with std::string, since in a C++ program there's really no reason not to use a proper string object.  (Using dynamically allocated char arrays to hold character strings might be a necessary evil if you're writing in C, but in C++ it's just masochism)
By storing all of your data by-value, you can get rid of all of the new and delete commands (and the inevitable bugs and inefficiency that come with them) and just set and get the values directly when necessary.
Also, this accessor function is wrong:
void aWinery::getYear(int year) const
{
    year = this->year;
}

It won't work because in C++, method parameters are (by default) passed by value (i.e. a temporary local copy of the passed-in value is made, for the method to use), so all the above method does is modify the local parameter year, which is then immediately destroyed as soon as the function returns.  A proper accessor method would look more like this:
int aWinery::getYear() const
{
    return this->year;   // assuming year member variable is now of type int
}

.... and similarly, the setter method should look like this:
void aWinery::setYear(int newYear)
{
    this->year = newYear;   // assuming year member variable is now of type int
}

Eliminating claims of a sunscreen being waterproof makes sense since ultimately any sunscreen will wash off in water given enough time and activity. So now instead, sunscreens can claim to be water resistant for up to 40 or 80 minutes, if SPF testing demonstrates persistence of the labeled SPF for that amount of time.
But are water resistant sunscreens really water resistant?
If two different sunscreens are both labeled "SPF 30 with Broad Spectrum Protection" and one is labeled water resistant for 40 minutes and the other has no claim to water resistance, then you choose the sunscreen which has the water resistant claim, right? Well, maybe.
Lets splash a little deeper!
If you apply a sunscreen that's water resistant for 40 minutes and you swim for 20 minutes, do you need to reapply it when you come out of the water? Hmmmmm... Or do you go back in and set your iPhone alarm for 20 minutes, so you'll know when to come out and reapply the sunscreen, pretending you'll hear your alarm when it goes off under your umbrella. And that assumes you really will get your full 40 minutes of protection.
Furthermore, I bet that when you came out of the water after the first 20 minutes, you toweled yourself dry, removing some of your sunscreen. And how active were you in the water? Was your level of activity in the water… Meaning splashing water against your skin… Was it greater than the activity in the tests, so you'll wind up getting less than 40 minutes of protection?
And did you really use one to two ounces to cover your whole body because if you used less then you won't get the labeled SPF, let alone the promised length of water resistance. Actually, using less means you'll get the square root of the SPF, so a 30 becomes less than 6.
This is the bottom line. On a practical level, I'm not sure that water resistant labeling is all that helpful. So regardless of the labeling on the sunscreen, to help minimize cosmetic and pre-cancerous sun damage, reapply your sunscreen immediately after swimming or sweating. Only then can you be assured of the labeled, if not optimal, sun protection.
Now that the FDA has eliminated "water proof" claims from sunscreen (because, quite frankly, sunscreen never was water proof), they're allowing "water resistant" language. But are water resistant sunscreens really water resistant? You may (or may not) be surprised to hear Dr. Schultz's answer in this episode of DermTV.

Written testimony of the ICE for a House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration and Policy Enforcement hearing titled "Immigration and Customs Enforcement Worksite Enforcement - Up to the Job?"
Testimony of Deputy Director Kumar C. Kibble, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Before the United States House Committee on the Judiciary, Subcommittee on Immigration and Policy Enforcement, "Immigration and Customs Enforcement Worksite Enforcement - Up to the Job?"
Rayburn House Office Building
Chairman Gallegly, Ranking Member Lofgren, and distinguished members of the Subcommittee:
On behalf of Secretary Napolitano and Assistant Secretary John Morton, I want to thank you for the opportunity to discuss U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's worksite enforcement efforts.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has fundamentally reformed immigration enforcement, focusing on identifying and removing criminal aliens who pose a threat to public safety and targeting employers who knowingly break the law. As part of this effort, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is focused on criminally investigating and prosecuting employers who exploit or abuse their employees and have a history of knowingly and repeatedly employing an illegal workforce. ICE is pursuing a comprehensive worksite enforcement strategy to deter unlawful employment and drive a culture of compliance with the nation's immigration-related employment laws.
The Administration's Approach to Worksite Enforcement
Arresting and removing illegal workers must be part of a strategy to deter unlawful employment, but alone it is insufficient as a comprehensive worksite enforcement strategy. Enforcement efforts focused on employers effectively target the root causes of illegal immigration. In April 2009, ICE released a worksite enforcement strategy designed to: 1) penalize employers who knowingly hire illegal workers; 2) deter employers who are tempted to hire illegal workers; and 3) encourage all employers to take advantage of easy to use and well-crafted compliance tools. We carry out this strategy with the robust use of Form I-9 inspections, civil fines and debarment, and by promoting compliance tools like E-Verify through the ICE Mutual Agreement between the Government and Employers (IMAGE) program, discussed below.
The success of our approach to worksite enforcement is evident in the statistics. In fiscal year (FY) 2010, ICE initiated a record 2,746 worksite enforcement investigations, more than doubling the 1,191 cases initiated in FY 2008. ICE criminally arrested 196 employers for worksite-related violations, surpassing the previous high of 135 in FY 2008. ICE also issued a record 2,196 notices of inspection to employers, surpassing the prior year's record of 1,444 and more than quadrupling the 503 inspections in 2008. ICE issued 237 final orders – documents requiring employers to cease violating the law and directing them to pay fines – totaling $6,956,026, compared to the 18 issued for $675,209 in FY 2008. The total of $6,956,026 last year represents the most final orders issued since the creation of ICE in 2003. In addition, worksite investigations resulted in a record $36,611,320 in judicial fines, forfeitures, and restitutions. Finally, ICE brought a new level of integrity to the contracting process by debarring a record 97 businesses and 49 individuals—preventing unscrupulous companies from engaging in future business with the government. Through this aggressive approach to worksite enforcement, ICE is bringing employers into compliance with the law.
ICE is prioritizing the criminal prosecution of employers who knowingly hire undocumented workers, abuse and exploit their workers, engage in the smuggling or trafficking of their alien workforce, or facilitate document or benefit fraud. Our agents are trained to look for evidence of these activities and we work closely with the U.S. Attorneys' offices to obtain indictments and prosecute offenders. ICE also continues to fulfill its responsibility to arrest and process for removal the undocumented workers encountered during worksite enforcement operations.
In addition to our enforcement efforts, ICE promotes and provides effective, accessible compliance tools to assist employers in determining the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States. ICE auditors have worked with employers to ensure that workers with questionable documentation identified during inspections are vetted for work eligibility, and any subsequent replacement workers are authorized for employment. For example, while auditing one corporation ICE identified 1,226 suspect employees that may have been unauthorized aliens from a workforce of over 8,000.
We are aware of the concerns raised by some members of this Subcommittee regarding the overall number of administrative arrests pursuant to worksite enforcement operations. The number of administrative arrests at worksites cannot, and should not, be considered in a vacuum. For the past two years, our worksite efforts have been part of a broader enforcement strategy that has seen the removal of more individuals from the United States than at any other time in the agency's history. ICE is apprehending, detaining, and removing an unprecedented number of individuals who are unlawfully present in the country – regardless of where they are apprehended.
Additionally, ICE is using our resources more strategically than ever before to enforce our immigration laws effectively. At current budget levels, ICE has the ability to remove approximately 400,000 aliens in a fiscal year. Accordingly, we make every effort to prioritize the identification, apprehension and removal of criminals and others who present the greatest threat to our communities.
Over the past two years, the Department has engaged in record enforcement, removing more aliens in both 2009 and 2010 than in any point in the history of our country, including more than 195,000 criminal aliens last year. While ICE has focused its enforcement priorities on criminal aliens and those who pose a threat to our public safety and national security, it is DHS's policy to enforce the law fully and we will continue to take action against both criminal and noncriminal aliens we encounter.
ICE's Efforts to Address Fraud in the Visa and Labor Certification Process
ICE's efforts also include identifying, investigating, and penalizing employers who engage in visa or labor certification fraud. Perpetrators of document and benefit fraud usually receive documents, whether counterfeit or legitimately issued through fraud, that could be used to open bank accounts, enter public buildings and obtain employment. Unchecked, one benefit fraud facilitator can be responsible for hundreds of aliens obtaining benefits and jobs to which they are not legally entitled, which demonstrates how ICE's investigations in this area have made an impact. Since the start of FY 2009, ICE has initiated 623 cases involving the H and L nonimmigrant employment-based visa categories, and obtained 91 criminal arrests, 152 administrative arrests, 103 convictions and a total of $13,845,276 seized.
In one recent case conducted by the ICE-led Document and Benefit Fraud Task Force in Orlando, Fla., ICE targeted several defendants who were facilitating H-2B visa fraud on a large scale. The defendants in the investigation used both shell and actual companies to file for unskilled temporary workers under the H-2B visa category. The company had approximately 160 clients and charged as much as $12,000 to file the fraudulent visa petitions. They then committed fraud by placing the workers in jobs other than where they claimed that the workers would be employed. By using shell companies, the facilitators were able to nullify the labor certification process, ensuring that legitimate determinations regarding qualified U.S. workers or the effect of wages and job conditions were not made. After guilty pleas, three principal defendants were sentenced in late 2010 to imprisonment ranging from 18 months to 24 months. Additionally, the court entered a $55,000,000 monetary judgment, which represents the amount of proceeds obtained as a result of the conspiracy.
ICE's Efforts at the Border
ICE's worksite enforcement efforts are just one part of this Administration's unprecedented effort to strengthen immigration enforcement and border security. The Department now has more resources – in terms of staffing, technology, and infrastructure — on and along the southwest border than at any point in our nation's history. Over the past two years, we have requested appropriate levels of resources to enhance these efforts. ICE's FY 2011 budget submission sought budget increases in our detention capacity and civil enforcement personnel as compared to 2009. In addition, Congress passed the 2010 Emergency Border Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, which included $80 million for ICE to hire more than 250 special agents, investigators, and intelligence analysts.
ICE is now taking custody of more aliens encountered at the border and is increasing the consequences for illegal entry and reentry. Aliens who illegally enter in Arizona, for instance, are no longer given the opportunity to return voluntarily and instead are given orders of removal and are repatriated through other states. ICE is presenting more illegal reentry cases for prosecution along the border than ever before. In addition, ICE has assigned our own attorneys to fortify the prosecution efforts of the Department of Justice and serve as Special Assistant United States Attorneys to prosecute border-related crime.
ICE's Strategic Partnerships
In addition to penalizing employers who violate the law, ICE is promoting easy-to-use compliance tools such as E-Verify, an Internet-based system developed and operated by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) that allows businesses to determine the eligibility of their newly hired employees to work in the United States. We also support E-Verify, training, and best practices through the ICE Mutual Agreement between Government and Employers (IMAGE), an outreach program geared at educating and training employers to comply with the nation's immigration laws. The IMAGE program, created in 2006, is a joint government and private sector initiative to build cooperative relationships that strengthen hiring practices, encourage compliance, and restore integrity to the immigration system. In FY 2010, ICE gave over 1,700 educational presentations on immigration compliance to over 13,000 employers as part of the IMAGE program.
In short, ICE is committed to a comprehensive approach to immigration enforcement that focuses on identifying and removing criminal aliens who pose a threat to public safety and that targets employers who knowingly break the law and drive demand for illegal immigration. Moreover, we continue to support a comprehensive reform of the Nation's immigration laws grounded in the principles of responsibility and accountability, and will work with our partners in Congress to that end. We look forward to continuing to build on our success through the remainder of FY 2011 and beyond.
Thank you again for the opportunity to appear before you today. I now welcome any questions that you may have.

Since 1992, German artist Jürgen Durner (born 1964) has created fantastically disorienting paintings on mirrored panes of glass. Depicting a mélange of architectural elements, these works, with their layered superimpositions, simulate the effect of looking into a window at night. Cast in the sickly glow of neon lights, Durner's works induce thought-provoking distortions of urban life.
Featured image, Irrlichter, is reproduced from Jürgen Durner: Disappearance.
"Glass is not simply glass; it can be matt, fluted or simply dirty. Above all, reflections of both sides of the world are mixed in the glass. Manifest in the apparent immateriality of its translucency is something that cannot be visualized in the absence of this hard, but visually almost imperceptible, material. Every boundary makes a difference. The glass, however, is a boundary that negates itself, or put differently; in any convergence of reflections from both sides, the glass boundary becomes real yet simultaneously virtual."

Q: How to create progressbar using python and glade for copying log files from one system to another system? I am using this bash script for copying log files from one system to another system
#!/bin/bash s="/var/log"
d="/root/Directory" BACKUPFILE=scripts.backup.`date +%F`.tar.gz
scp -r root@$1:$s $2 rsync -chavzP --stats root@ipaddr

filename=ug-$(date +%-Y%-m%-d)-$(date +%-T).tgz
tar -czvf $2/$BACKUPFILE $s
tar --create --gzip --file=$d$filename $s
rm -rf /root/aaa/log

Also I have done progressbar code like this
import gi
gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0')
from gi.repository import Gtk, GObject

class ProgressBarWindow(Gtk.Window):

    def __init__(self):
        Gtk.Window.__init__(self, title="ProgressBar Demo")
        self.set_border_width(10)

        vbox = Gtk.Box(orientation=Gtk.Orientation.VERTICAL, spacing=6)
        self.add(vbox)

        self.progressbar = Gtk.ProgressBar()
        vbox.pack_start(self.progressbar, True, True, 0)

        button = Gtk.CheckButton("Show text")
        button.connect("toggled", self.on_show_text_toggled)
        vbox.pack_start(button, True, True, 0)

        button = Gtk.CheckButton("Activity mode")
        button.connect("toggled", self.on_activity_mode_toggled)
        vbox.pack_start(button, True, True, 0)

        button = Gtk.CheckButton("Right to Left")
        button.connect("toggled", self.on_right_to_left_toggled)
        vbox.pack_start(button, True, True, 0)

        self.timeout_id = GObject.timeout_add(50, self.on_timeout, None)
        self.activity_mode = False

    def on_show_text_toggled(self, button):
        show_text = button.get_active()
        if show_text:
            text = "some text"
        else:
            text = None
        self.progressbar.set_text(text)
        self.progressbar.set_show_text(show_text)

    def on_activity_mode_toggled(self, button):
        self.activity_mode = button.get_active()
        if self.activity_mode:
            self.progressbar.pulse()
        else:
            self.progressbar.set_fraction(0.0)

    def on_right_to_left_toggled(self, button):
        value = button.get_active()
        self.progressbar.set_inverted(value)

    def on_timeout(self, user_data):
        """
        Update value on the progress bar
        """
        if self.activity_mode:
            self.progressbar.pulse()
        else:
            new_value = self.progressbar.get_fraction() + 0.01

            if new_value > 1:
                new_value = 0

            self.progressbar.set_fraction(new_value)

        # As this is a timeout function, return True so that it
        # continues to get called
        return True

win = ProgressBarWindow() win.connect("delete-event", Gtk.main_quit)
win.show_all() Gtk.main()

But I don't know how to embed my script with this progress bar code.

A: There are some approaches to this problem but main concern that you must care is that GUI and time consuming tasks (long tasks) are not good friends. Most GUI frameworks use their mainloop to take care of user input handling and draw the UI. This being said, you must separate those long tasks from the main UI and there are some ways to do it, be it threads, async methods, etc, it will all resume to how your language of choice deals with these problems.
Then there is the question of how to invoke the OS functions that you want to track. Probably the best way to do it would be by implementing them in your code, programmatically, but that would be a time consuming effort. So, using shell scripts will be your choice and doing so leads to the question: how to get the output of those commands? Well, there's popen and since you will be using python then you must spawn the shell scripts with popen calls. Best way to do it seems to be subprocess. An additional improvement would be a better tailored bash script that can get some previous analysis of command results (success or failure) and conditioned/formatted output.
Hope you can see where i'm going... You'll have to parse the data that normally goes to the console, interpret it and update the UI accordingly.
I give you a simple example of a Gtk Window with a progress bar that gets pulsed for every line of a shell command output (tree /):
import time
import threading
import subprocess
import gi
gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0')
from gi.repository import GLib, Gtk, GObject

def app_main():
    win = Gtk.Window(default_height=50, default_width=300)
    win.connect("delete-event", Gtk.main_quit)
    win.connect("destroy", Gtk.main_quit)

    progress = Gtk.ProgressBar(show_text=True)
    win.add(progress)

    def update_progress(i):
        progress.pulse ()
        #progress.set_fraction (i/100.0) # use this for percentage
        #progress.set_text(str(i))
        return False

    def example_target():
        i = 0 # can be used to pass percentage
        proc = subprocess.Popen(['tree', '/'],stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
        while True:
            line = proc.stdout.readline()
            if line != '':
                time.sleep(0.1) # output is too quick, slow down a little :)
                GLib.idle_add(update_progress, i)
            else:
                break

    win.show_all()

    thread = threading.Thread(target=example_target)
    thread.daemon = True
    thread.start()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app_main()
    Gtk.main()

On the example above, we use threads. The shell command, that you can try on the console, dumps a tree of the folder structure on you disk. Can be anything but the goal was to have a long task. Since we can't track progress, the bar will be in activity mode and we pulse it for every line but if you can track progress you can use the set_fraction method instead.
Hope this will lead you on the right direction. GL

Truth & Liberty Coalition Conference Encourages and Equips Conservative Christians to Change the Nation
Conservative Christians came together with the resolve to stand for biblical values at the Truth & Liberty Coalition Conference over the weekend at Charis Bible College.
Featuring keynote speakers Andrew Wommack, Mario Murillo, Bishop E.W. Jackson, Pastor Duane Sheriff, and Richard Harris – along with members of Congress U.S. Reps. Lauren Boebert, and Doug Lamborn – the event drew more than 1,000 people Friday and Saturday.
Wommack, president of the Truth & Liberty Coalition, encouraged the Church to stand up for righteousness and become an influential force in culture and government.
According to Wommack, the United States is unique in its purpose due to its Christian heritage. It's up to Christians to get involved in government, preserve those foundations, and stand boldly for righteousness and morality.
"If we that know the truth don't stand up and begin to start speaking, who is going to do it?" asked Andrew Wommack in his opening session Friday evening.
Evangelist Mario Murillo said it is the duty of the Church to destroy wokeness. Passivity in the pulpit has allowed critical race theory, the LGBTQ agenda, and other corrosive leftist ideologies to influence ministry and take the focus off the life-changing power of the Gospel.
"I don't care who you are in this room, you are now a wartime pastor," said Murillo, challenging ministers to stand on the Word and become aggressive in their preaching. "Not a peacetime pastor, you're a wartime pastor – start acting like one."
Boebert, a Second Amendment advocate who has quickly become an influential conservative voice in Congress, spoke on defending our constitutional rights. The Rifle, Colorado, native has gone from being a concerned citizen, mom, and small business owner, to first-term Republican congresswoman because she simply wanted to get involved and make a difference.
To Boebert, there is a need for more Christian conservatives to participate in government.
"I need you to get involved at every local level," said Boebert. "I need you speaking up – I need the world to hear your voice. You know the Word of God and you know there is power in your words."
Bishop E.W. Jackson, founder of STAND: Staying True to America's National Destiny, spoke on American exceptionalism. Attacking critical race theory, Jackson celebrated what makes our nation great.
"America is God's gift to you, and you are God's gift to America," said Jackson to the conservative Christian audience.
With informative workshops and the opportunity to connect with conservative Christian organizations, the Truth & Liberty Coalition Conference offered attendees the chance to become equipped to turn their communities back to biblical and constitutional values.
The centerpiece of the conference was 9/11—a moving and inspirational commemoration of the 20th anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001. The dramatization depicting heroes of Sept. 11 was developed by Robert and Elizabeth Muren—creators of the patriotic In God We Trust musical and leaders of the Charis Bible College Film & Production School.
According to Richard Harris, executive director of the Truth & Liberty Coalition, "This conference was a great encouragement about the timeless power and the principles that have made America a blessed nation. Every speaker brought powerful insights and practical wisdom that will equip attendees to serve their communities, state, and nation effectively in these difficult times. Truth & Liberty is greatly honored to have the participation of so many accomplished leaders."
