The Alaska LNG Project has filed at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to begin the Commission's pre-filing process for its natural gas pipeline, liquefaction and export project to commercialize the state's long-stranded North Slope gas. The project facilities include a liquefaction facility in the Nikiski area on the Kenai Peninsula, an 800-mile, large-diameter pipeline, up to eight compression stations, at least five offtake points for in-state gas delivery, a gas treatment plant located on the North Slope and transmission lines to transport gas from Prudhoe Bay and Point Thomson to the gas treatment plant. Project participants are the Alaska Gasline Development Corp. and affiliates of ExxonMobil Corp., TransCanada Corp., BP plc and ConocoPhillips. An application for an LNG export license to the U.S. Department of Energy was submitted in July for the project (see Daily GPI, July 21). Separately, the state and Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry signed a memorandum of cooperation related to the LNG project and other resource development opportunities. It builds upon an existing agreement between the state and the Japan Bank for International Cooperation in January.

Battlefield 3 Not Releasing On Wii U
We've seen trailers of Battlefield 3 during Wii U montages at past events and, for many, these Nintendo conference tie-ins were all that was needed to confirm the title's existence on the upcoming console. However, according to a source close to Wii U Daily, the popular first-person shooter has been cancelled for the Wii U.
Reportedly, issues arose late last year when EA and Nintendo failed to see eye to eye on Origin integration for the new platform. The team that had been working on the Wii U port was then shifted over to the team working on Battlefield 4, where a Wii U port is in the works (touch control integration and all).
With Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 receiving a beta in fall of next year, one can't help but wonder if Nintendo's latest system will be as lucky as the rest.

That's the name of a campaign done by a group of Superior High School Students in the group 'DECA.' The goal is to educate other students in the area about the dangers of youth vaping.
Jaylynn Glaus, Chloe Kitnap and their partner, Jackson, are the brains behind the campaign.
Students in 'DECA' at Superior High School are hoping to educate people about the dangers of youth vaping. They're taking their 'Don't Blow It' campaign to a national competition in Florida.
"In the beginning of the year, we saw this was a growing problem among everyone in the high school," Kitnap says. "(We thought) that was super-timely and something we could really target throughout our school."
They started by doing surveys throughout the high school and middle school, and gave presentations to 7th grade students. After that, the campaign was brought to a state DECA competition.
Now, they're taking their campaign to Orlando, Florida to compete with other DECA groups around the country.
"We are super excited," Glaus says. "That was a huge highlight of our DECA career."
To prepare, the group is aiming to reach out to broaden their outreach to elementary schools and beyond. The competition is April 26 through May 1.

Unlike most halls and chambers in Rashtrapati Bhawan, the Ashoka Hall has a painted ceiling. The painting is in the Persian style.
The main painting on the roof depicts a royal hunting expedition while those towards the corners show scenes from court life. Dark colours predominate. And because the painting has been done on leather, even white takes on a brown tint. The work was commissioned by Lady Willingdon when her husband was Viceroy.
State Dinning Hall, now known as Banquet Hall. Can seat 104 persons. Portraits of all former Presidents embellish its walls. An assortment of medieval arms on display.
Yellow Drawing Room

James Comey: Mr. President, Please Take a Stand Against Racism ~ NYT
August 5, 2019 August 5, 2019 by Jerry Roberts, posted in ARTICLES & NEWS, VICIOUS RUMORS ~ LIES & OPINIONS
The nation's ability to contain it is faltering.
By James Comey
Mr. Comey is a former director of the F.B.I.

America has long had a radioactive racist soup in the center of our national life. Donald Trump thinks he is stirring it for political benefit. He's actually doing something more dangerous.
For much of our history, the soup was deadly and uncontained, spewing radiation that led to the enslavement, terrorization, murder and oppression of African-Americans. One hundred years ago this summer, it erupted on the streets of Washington, leaving dozens dead. The president of Howard University narrowly escaped being lynched. The murders, beatings and threats erupted in countless places during the first 200 years of American life. To visit the National Museum of African American History and Culture is to discover that the violence and mistreatment is beyond count, but not beyond imagination.
Yet something good happened over the last 50 years. America started to get control over the dangerous radiation. We erected a containment building made up of laws; we passed statutes making the abuse and mistreatment of people by virtue of their race a crime. More important, we began enforcing the laws we already had. It was long a statutory crime to kill another human being; it just wasn't against the law in practice to kill a black person in many places. The rights to vote and to equal treatment sounded muscular on paper, but they were weaklings in much of America. Slowly, slowly that began to change, through progress at ballot boxes and jury boxes, in police squad rooms and classrooms.
But the containment building of law was only part of the solution. Radioactivity lasts for centuries and it can still blow the lid off the building; true safety lies in control rods, pushed down into the soup to calm it, to cool it. Those control rods in America were cultural.
The dean of organizational culture, Edgar Schein, teaches that culture has three layers: the artifacts of a culture — our symbols and signs; its espoused values — the things we say we believe; and, most important, its underlying assumptions — the way things really are.
America's artifacts and espoused values were always impressive. We displayed across the land our inspiring Declaration that all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with unalienable rights. We amended the Constitution after slaves were freed to make clear that black citizens were entitled to equal rights and equal treatment.
Our problem was what laid underneath all that: the way things really were, despite what we taught in civics class.
Cultures are dysfunctional when the underlying assumptions don't line up with the values we claim to hold dear. For a very long time, America was seriously out of alignment. But we slowly worked to change the underlying assumptions. It became unacceptable to refer to black people by racist names, to utter racist tropes, to run for office on racist themes. It took decades, but we got to a place where it generally wasn't tolerated, in board rooms or in bars. Leaders who said racist things were often ostracized, forced to apologize, to say publicly they were deeply sorry that they acted in a way that offended our culture.
Even if they secretly harbored racist thoughts, elected officials sent a message that, whatever our differences, this kind of crap wasn't O.K. Racists watched them closely for the wink, the signal that they didn't mean it. When they didn't get the signal, the racism was suppressed by a new cultural norm. Racism didn't go away, of course; the soup still bubbled. But the control rods of our culture, our underlying assumptions, reduced the danger.

Today, the control rods are being lifted. With each racist assault — on a judge, an athlete, a country, a member of Congress, or a city — and with each kind word for "very fine people on both sides," our president allows the stew to boil and radiate more dangerously.
You can feel the effect: in the F.B.I.'s burgeoning caseload of hate crimes and white supremacist investigations, and in a stadium full of Americans who, even knowing they are on television, chant in unison, "Send her back." That burst of negative energy was met, not by efforts to control it, but by 13 seconds of presidential silence, the same silence that his fellow Republicans have adopted.
Our president thinks he is doing something clever. He lifts the control rods for a calculated and deeply cynical purpose: to harness the political energy unleashed. It will heat his re-election bid, he likely thinks. But unconstrained, it will damage the nation, in all directions. Only fools believe they can ride the gamma rays of hate.
According to a "manifesto" widely attributed to him, the Texas terrorist who killed at least 20 people in El Paso on Saturday wasn't directly motivated by Donald Trump. But he is a horrific example of what can happen when the control rods are lifted.
Every American president, knowing what lies deep within our country, bears a unique responsibility to say loudly and consistently that white supremacy is illegitimate, that encouraging a politics of racial resentment can spawn violence, and that violence aimed at people by virtue of their skin color is terrorism.
Mr. President, because of what you have done, you owe us more than condolences sent via Twitter. You must stop trying to unleash and exploit the radioactive energy of racism.
You hold the biggest control rod of all. You must push it back into place, for all our sakes. The vast majority of Americans believe the core ideals of our founding documents and we expect our culture to reflect those ideals. Show us you believe in them, too.

HomeEuropeLisbon, the City of the Count and the Prostitute
Lisbon, the City of the Count and the Prostitute
November 30, 2015 Jack Europe, Lisbon, Portugal 0
I once had an unforgettable experience in a prostitute's house in Lisbon.
It was no longer a prostitute's house, the line was just for dramatic effect, but the experience was no less intimate for that. The building near Praça Martim Morniz was a quite special and exceptional fado house which was also the former home of Maria Severa, prostitute, the first fadista (female fado singer) in Lisbon and an iconic symbol of the city.
Severa was brunette and petite with seductive saucer eyes (I'm visualising a Maria de Medeiros type). As she had an equally seductive voice to match it's no real surprise in 19th century Lisbon she was popular with the male of the species. One of the most interesting aspects of Maria's story is her relationship with a nobleman of the city, Count Vimioso. Evocative images depicting the count and the prostitute are commonplace throughout the city, especially in the bewildering alleys of the Alfama district.
The count and the prostitute is a perfect metaphor for Lisbon itself; a down to earth woman from the lowly back streets confident and comfortable in the company of an aristocrat – a city of princes and paupers in all sorts of ways.
Lisbon is a city where noble squares and regal palaces are located a stone's throw from cobbled streets populated by dusty bookshops and workaday cafés below weary period town-houses with peeling plaster façades and windows which look as though their mascara has run. Liberdade might be lined with opulent designer shops like Prada, but take a step back a street and there's a parallel universe of ethnic shops, small neighbour supermarkets and unassuming bars and restaurants.
There's something of the burlesque in those back streets which conjures thoughts of Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge. Wrong city I know, but it's easy to imagine that in the darkened rooms glimpsed behind rusting, wrought iron balconies are Bohemians toasting truth, beauty, freedom and above all, love.
Lisbon's streets are raw and ravaged by time, they're not pristine and purpose built to please visitors who want a perfect shot of an immaculate façade. And they ooze personality because of it. These are neighbourhoods which have endured good times and bad, their story etched into the bricks, mortars and peeling paint. Whereas some cities strive to remain pretty boys, Lisbon is Terence stamp – the signs of a beautiful youth are clearly evident but there's an attractive weariness in those crags and creases which makes it just that little bit more interesting.
In most cities graffiti grates and jars. I don't mean the urban art created by a city's equivalent of Banksy. I mean the illiterate swirls which deface buildings like a spray paint equivalent of a nail on a blackboard. In Lisbon for some reason it fits. I don't know why, it just does. It's the same in Porto. In most cities bad graffiti looks like nothing more than the destructive vandalism it is. But in Lisbon graffiti often feels an integral part of the city's character. Once noble buildings scarred by the hand of the underclass, as though in an attempt to keep pomposity in check.
Like anywhere else, darkness brings a different life to the streets. The area around Dragon Square had a dubious reputation not so long ago, but walking through it at night, when daylight and most tourists had departed, we didn't feel unduly apprehensive. For centuries, immigrants in Lisbon have made their homes in the alleys and streets leading from Praça Martim Morniz (its posh name). It gives the area a kaleidoscopic multi-cultural richness. It is there that Maria Severa's house is located, reached via a dark alley. In many cities we might hesitate to wander up an alley such as that. Not in Lisbon. In truth we were more concerned we might encounter a fadista's ghost such was the weight of atmosphere in the air.
There's also nostalgic comfort to be found in Lisbon hoods such as the party loving Bairro Alto. In the heart of one of Europe's greatest cities a sense of community seems to thrive. Walking down a vertiginous Bairro Alto street we passed a young man perched on a stool outside his apartment block engrossed in a book; next door up a bushy haired man strummed easily at a guitar. Opposite, an old woman appeared from a house that might have also been a bar with a just-knitted sweater which she handed to a young woman sitting on the kerb drinking Super Bock with her friends. In one urban scene there was literature, music and cottage industry.
In a sentence, Lisbon is classy, sassy and down to earth; exactly the sort of place where a count and a prostitute could meet and fall in love.

Agri-Pulse Launches Breeding Edge Editorial Series
January 17, 2018 Agri-Pulse, AgWired Animal, AgWired Precision, ASTA
Agri-Pulse has launched a new seven-part editorial series, "The Breeding Edge," focused on new scientific discoveries, genetic research, and systems for precision breeding for producing food, protecting the environment, and improving animal health.
"Animal and plant breeders are trying out a set of powerful new tools which have the potential to revolutionize agricultural practices and provide consumers with more healthy and safe food options," says Agri-Pulse Editor Sara Wyant. "But few people truly understand how these new innovations can help farmers and ranchers and ultimately improve human health. And that's a big risk when you consider how some previous agricultural innovations have been accepted by consumers."
"In addition to being more efficient and economical, newer breeding methods hold tremendous potential for both public and commercial plant breeders in developed and developing countries, and can be used across all crops, including food, feed, fiber and fuel crops," explained Andy LaVigne, President and CEO of the American Seed Trade Association (ASTA). "To ensure the full potential of new and emerging breeding tools, it's critical that we have a policy environment, both domestically and internationally, that allows for, and encourages, continued innovation."
ASTA is one of the sponsors of the new series, together with Genus, Syngenta Seeds, National Pork Board, Monsanto, Dupont Pioneer, United Soybean Board, and the National Corn Growers Association. New innovations in agricultural technology will also be discussed at the Agri-Pulse Ag & Food Policy Summit, scheduled for March 21 in Washington, D.C.

Q: UIImage aspect fill offset Is there a way to define a custom offset for a UIImage with aspect fill?
So currently aspect fill scales the image and centres it.
But I need a way to then define a offset, so I can manually adjust the image to fit even better.
Is this possible? I looked at the UIImage class but I couldn't find anything.

A: I can't see a way to do this with a UIImageView by itself, but if you put it inside a containing view, set it to aspect fill, and then change the containing view's bounds, you can get your desired effect. Here's how I did it:
UIView *containingView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectInset(self.view.bounds, 10, 10)];
containingView.clipsToBounds = YES;
[self.view addSubview:containingView];

UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"image"]];
imageView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFill;
imageView.frame = containingView.bounds;
imageView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;
[containingView addSubview:imageView];

// Offset the image 100 pixels to the left
containingView.bounds = CGRectMake(100.0f, 0.0f, CGRectGetWidth(containingView.bounds), CGRectGetHeight(containingView.bounds));

Make sure that your imageView has clipsToBounds set to NO (the default) so that you can change containingView.bounds to pan around parts of the image that would otherwise be cropped off.
SWIFT 4+
let containerView = UIView(frame: view.bounds)
containerView.clipsToBounds = true
view.addSubview(containerView)

let imageView = UIImageView(image: image)
imageView.contentMode = .scaleAspectFill
imageView.frame = containerView.bounds
imageView.autoresizingMask = [.flexibleWidth, .flexibleHeight]
containerView.addSubview(imageView)

containerView.bounds = CGRect(x: imageXOffset,
                              y: imageYOffset,
                              width: containerView.bounds.width,
                              height: containerView.bounds.height)

El conocimiento de la estructura nuclear o estructura de los núcleos atómicos es uno de los elementos clave de la física nuclear. En principio, las interacciones de los constituyentes de los núcleos, los nucleones (protones y neutrones formados, a su vez, por los quarks), están abarcadas en las predicciones de la cromodinámica cuántica, dentro de lo que es una teoría cuántica de campos. Pero debido a la complejidad de la interacción fuerte los cálculos son muy complicados y es necesario, hoy día, recurrir a modelos más sencillos. No existe un único modelo; en el desarrollo de la física nuclear se han ido creando modelos teóricos para describir cómo se estructura el material nuclear que constituye los núcleos de los átomos. Algunos de estos modelos son el de la gota líquida, el modelos de capas (de partículas independientes, de campo medio, etc.), rotacional, vibracional, vibracional y rotacional, etc.

Modelos nucleares

Modelo de gota líquida

Este es uno de los primeros modelos de la estructura nuclear, propuesto por Bohr en 1935. En él se describe el núcleo como un  fluido clásico compuesto por neutrones y protones y una fuerza central coulombiana repulsiva proporcional al número de protones Z y con origen en el centro de la gota. La naturaleza mecano-cuántica de estas partículas se introduce a partir del principio de exclusión de Pauli, que establece que fermiones (los nucleones son fermiones) del mismo tipo no puede estar en el mismo estado cuántico. Así, el líquido es en realidad lo que se conoce como líquido de Fermi, en alusión al gas de Fermi que forman los electrones. Este sencillo modelo reproduce las principales características de la energía enlace de los núcleos. Es un buen modelo para predecir niveles energéticos en núcleos poco deformados.

Desde el punto de vista cuantitativo se observa que la masa de un núcleo atómico es inferior a la masa de los componentes indiviudales (protones y neutrones) que lo forman. Esta no conservación de la masa está conectada con la ecuación  de Einstein, por la cual parte de la masa está en forma de energía de ligazón entre dichos componentes. Cuantiativamente se tiene la siguiente ecuación:

Donde:
 son respectivamente la masa del núcleo, la masa de un protón y la masa de un neutrón.
 son respectivamente el número atómico (que coincide con el número de protones), el número másico (que coincide con el número de nucleones) y A-Z por tanto coincide con el número de neturones.
 es la energía de enlace entre todos los nucleones.

Modelo de capas

La idea del modelo es muy parecida a la planteada para el caso de la corteza electrónica —el modelo de capas electrónico— .En el caso de los electrones, teníamos partículas idénticas que se agrupaban en capas de números cuánticos espaciales distintos (n,l). El número de electrones permitidos en cada capa venía impuesto por el principio de exclusión de Pauli para fermiones. Los número cuánticos asociados vienen como resolución de la ecuación de Schrödinger para un potencial coulombiano (~ 1/r) y centrífugo.

En el caso nuclear, tendremos fermiones (los nucleones) en un potencial nuclear. Estos nucleones tendrán un número cuántico adicional, el isospín, cuya proyección nos dirá si el nucleón se trata de un protón o un neutrón.

La elección del potencial es clave para la resolución del espectro de energías. El potencial más usual, es el potencial de Wood-Saxon, pero la resolución de la ecuación de Shröedinger se hace no analítica.

Al igual que el modelo de capas, da buenos resultados en núcleos poco deformados.

La expresión «modelo de capas» es un tanto ambigua aludiendo a la técnica, pues ha tenido varias etapas. Fue utilizado para describir la existencia de agregados de nucleones en el núcleo acuerdo con un enfoque más cercano en lo que actualmente se denomina teoría de campo medio. Hoy en día, el modelo se refiere a un conjunto de técnicas que ayudan a resolver algunas de las variantes del problema nuclear de N cuerpos.

Las hipótesis básicas se hacen con el fin de dar un marco conceptual preciso para el modelo de capas:
 El núcleo atómico es un sistema cuántico de N cuerpos.
 El núcleo no es un sistema físico relativista. La ecuación del movimiento del sistema que viene dada por una función de onda (que contiene toda la información posible del sistema, según la mecánica cuántica), es la ecuación de Schrödinger.
 Las interacciones entre los nucleones es solamente de a dos cuerpos. Esta limitación es en realidad una consecuencia práctica del principio de exclusión de Pauli: el recorrido libre medio de un nucleón es muy grande en comparación con el tamaño de núcleo, y la probabilidad de que tres nucleones interactuar simultáneamente se considera lo suficientemente pequeña como para ser insignificante.
 Los nucleones se consideran en este modelo partículas puntuales, sin estructura.

Modelo vibracional y rotacional

Este modelo recurre a la descripción de las vibraciones y rotaciones de la superficie del núcleo en términos de coordenadas colectivas y así predecir el espectro de frecuencias asociado a los niveles energéticos.

Da buenos resultados en núcleos poco deformados y parcialmente deformados. También da una idea cualitativa de altos niveles energéticos en núcleos estables pero muy deformados, como los isótopos del osmio (187Os, 189Os).

Teorías cuánticas de campo asociadas
La interacción fuerte fue postulada para explicar la estabilidad de los núcleos atómicos. Los primeros modelos de núcleo atómico pretendían arrejar luz sobre la naturaleza de la interacción fuerte. Sin embargo, esa línea de investigación no permitió descubrir la naturaleza de la interacción fuerte a nivel fundamental. De hecho, uno de los primeros modelos cuantitativos fue el modelo de Yukawa:

Donde  es el potencial de Yukawa, que es ligeramente más complejo que el potencial de Coulomb, y representa la energía asociada al campo medio que un nucleón encuentra. Dicho campo era interpretable en términos de partículas con masa llamados piones.

El desarrollo de las teorías de campo de gauge llevó a conjeturar que la interacción fundamental asociada a la fuerza fuerte no es la que se da entre nucleones, sino la que mantiene unidos a los componentes de los nucleones. Desde la segunda mitad del siglo XX se conocía que los nucleones no eran partículas elementales, ya que las colisiones a altas energías revelaba que estaban formados por partes, llamadaas provisionalmente "partones". Así el descubrimiento de simeterías en el campo de la física de partículas como SU(3), llevaron a formular la interacción fuerte en términos de unidades más elementales llamadas quarks. Actualmente se conoce que la interacción nucleón-nucleón es un efecto residual de la interacción mucho más intensa entre quarks que es razonablemente descrita por la cromodinámica cuántica.

Essay Service Examples Literature Black Boy
The Effects Of Family And Society On The Main Character In The Book Black Boy
Topics: Black Boy
In this novel " Black boy " has an main character, Richard Wright. In this novel he's reflecting on his childhood experiences and how some events affected him mentally, physically and emotionally. He tells the readers how he was influenced in life and how society impacted him. His family and peers of course had and major impact on his life and he shares how his childhood made him who he is today.
In the novel , Richard is very particular with his words, As I mentioned previously his family really impacted his childhood in the worst ways. For example in the text he says " I lost consciousness. I was beaten out my senses and later found myself in bed , screaming , determined to run away , tussling .. " page 7. This quote shows how he was treated growing up and why he ended up being the way he is now. Like us all the way our guardian raised us we more than likely will grow up to be the way we were raised which Richard is becoming.
Richard grew up having to fight just to fit in and not continue to get picked on by his peers. In the text he says " knowing that if I did not win or make a good showing I would have to fight a new boy each day .. " page 92. Richard knew if he didn't stand up for his self he would have his peers picking fights with him each and every day. This just shows how society affects the way he grew up and it also shows him gaining self respect and strength without support from family.
After Richard gained respect from his peers he states " having grown taller and older , I now associated with the older boys and I had to pay for my admittance into their company by subscribing to certain racial statements " page 78. This shows how Richard has grown older and realized that in order to fit in he must let go over some self respect and now has to follow the stereotypes the boys gave him as an black man.
This relates because when you have an supportive family you would know you shouldn't have to lower your self in order to fit in.
In conclusion if Ricard was raised based on love and care , not abuse and trauma , he more than likely wouldn't want to fit in which means he wouldn't have to fight each and every day. If he did have to fight atleast it would be for his self respect and not because he wanted to fight in.

Here's a two part metabolic conditioning workout courtesy of my friends at The Tribe Strength and Conditioning in San Antonio! I've been doing their workouts on my own lately. It's quite as much fun by myself, but an awesome workout nonetheless.
Rest a few minutes between WOD 1 and WOD 2.
Double Unders = double jumps on a jump rope. Alternatively, you can do 100 regular jumps with a jump rope.
As you can see by my red-faced selfie.... it was a good one.


With the hustle and bustle of today's crazy lifestyle, it isn't always potential to make sure it is to the nail salon or spa to have our nails done professionally. Occasionally we come across ourselves primping our nails active, like when we're driving to that all-important business meeting or flying out to the annual family reunion. While you certainly shouldn't attempt to give yourself a manicure while battling four lanes of 80 mph traffic, you can afford yourself a great manicure if you realize how and where to find good manicure sets.
Ever notice how the instruments and equipment at professional nail salons look so high priced and hard to get? The truth is they really aren't hard to come by and don't cost a fortune. (In fact, you will see that the expense of your professional tools pays for itself when you add up all the visits to have your nails done at a salon!) If you're hoping to purchase manicure tools and sets that will last for some time to come, then scout out where the beauty sales outlets are in your area. These can readily be located through a search online or by just thumbing through your yellow pages. Beauty retailers will typically have the text "professional beauty supply" or something similar in their title. These are the places that sell the precise same tools and equipment to salons and spas, and while you may pay some more money to shop here, the caliber of the items is superior. These stores sell complete manicure sets, or you can favor to tailor-make your requirements and by buying individual tools. If you are really seeking top-notch tools and equipment, they sell the fancy airbrush machines and electric nail buffers, too.
Remember to identify your favorite color of polish while you're there – the brands of nail polish available at these stores are high quality and won't chip as fast as that bottle purchased from the department shop.
If out of the blue you aren't able to locate a specialist beauty retailer, then purchasing your manicure set from a department outlet is completely acceptable if you understand what to look for. You'll observe a broad variety of manicure sets ranging in prices from a couple bucks all the way $20 and over. If you are searching for something to just keep stashed away in your purse or car, then go for the lower-priced sets. You'll typically get a small set of nail clippers, nail scissors, a small file, and a cuticle stick. These are ideal for taking care of those annoying hangnails or filing down a broken nail at the office. If you arrange to do your personal manicures at home on a consistent basis, then consider purchasing a manicure set that's a little more expensive. You'll get all the instruments found in the at a lower cost kits, plus a few extras such as nail polish, cuticle and hand cream, and nail designs.
Finding a good manicure set is easy and with proper care, can survive for years. Imagine all of the time and money you will be able to save by doing manicures yourself!

10 million Samsung users affected by a fake firmware update app
Authored by: Silvia Santos 6 months ago
After the Galaxy Fold scandal, whose arrival is not yet known, and its recent appearance in the media for its fraud over the water resistance of its Galaxy smartphones, the South Korean company is the protagonist of more bad news. But this time the problem isn't yours. A fake app promising firmware and operating system upgrades has scammed more than 10 million Samsung users.
"Updates for Samsung" is the name of the app that actually redirected smartphone owners to an advertising-infested website where they were also charged for firmware downloads. The news breaks thanks to our colleagues at ZDNet, who also collect statements from Aleksejs Kuprins, a malware analyst with the CSIS Security Group. "I've contacted the Google Play Store and asked them to consider removing this application," he told the media.
Your Samsung Galaxy may not be as waterproof as you think.
Don't even think about downloading this app! / © Google Play Store
The application offers free and paid Samsung updates. The free, Kuprins found, had limited download capacity to 56 KBps and ended up running out, taking users into a dead end where they were asked for $34.99 to purchase the annual premium package to download any file.
So far, despite the request, the Google Play Store has not withdrawn the application. And that also breaks the rules of Google's app store, as it uses its own payment system and not the official Play Store.
Although "Updates for Samsung" is not malware, it is a completely fraudulent application that scams anyone who downloads it. And it has already affected a lot of Samsung owners by taking advantage of non-expert users who are looking to have their smartphone up to date without having to worry.
Are you one of those affected by this fraudulent app? If so, tell us about your experience in the comments.

Well it is not hard to scam people, it is amazing how common sense goes out of the window when you think it is to your advantage.

For any Los Angeles Lakers fans who have only begun watching the team after their rejected trade for Chris Paul known only as "The Veto," first of all I'm sorry. You've had to watch some terrible basketball.
As a refresher, the Lakers agreed in principle to a three-team trade with the New Orleans Hornets and Houston Rockets that would've allowed Los Angeles to dump salary while ending up with Chris Paul in possibly the biggest trade heist of all-time.
That was not to be, however, with then-NBA Commissioner David Stern stepping in and infamously vetoing the trade for "basketball reasons" (yes, that's an actual quote).
Since that fateful day, Stern has said many times he rejected the trade in his capacity as acting owner of the Hornets (the NBA owned the team at the time), not as commissioner, but during an appearance on the "Nunyo and Company" podcast, Stern revealed some new information: The Lakers still could have potentially completed a deal for Paul (emphasis mine).
"(My decision) was only based on what was good for New Orleans, or what was not good for New Orleans. It had nothing to do with the Lakers at all. And in fact, in the course of the weekend, we thought we could re-do the deal. We really thought that Houston would be ready to part with Kyle Lowry; and we had a trade lined up for Odom that would have gotten us a good first round draft pick. Not we, but my basketball folks. But Mitch Kupchack at the time panicked and moved Odom to Dallas. So the piece wasn't even there for us to play with at the time. So that was it — just about what was good for the then-New Orleans Hornets."
It's important to note here that this is just Stern's view/statement on what happened, and the Kupchak wasn't given a chance to tell his side of the story. The former Lakers general manager might have seen the situation differently, or seen variables Stern is either unaware of or ignoring.
That being said, if Kupchak really did trade Odom to Dallas with a Paul deal potentially still on the table, it's impossible to argue that decision didn't hurt the Lakers. The team only received a trade exception and a top-20 protected first-round pick in exchange for Odom, so it's not like they had some massive haul on the table that couldn't wait.
It's understandable if Kupchak felt pressure to trade Odom in the wake of his reaction nearly being traded for Paul, but if the deal for Paul was still somewhat on the table like Stern says it was, he should have been more patient.
We'll likely never know for sure what exactly happened in some of the weirdest and most controversial trade talks in NBA history, but it seems like new details about "The Veto" won't stop trickling out anytime soon.
79 comments for "David Stern says the Lakers could've traded for Chris Paul if Mitch Kupchak hadn't 'panick"
Mitch fu*ked up his last 6 years in LA.
It's like he lost all his magic.
We all know, Dan Gilbert and Mark Cuban bi*ched and moaned..
I mean, they recovered decently with the Howard and Nash trades. Easy to say now it was terrible, but it was the best chance possible to keep Kobe's window open for another title.
After that though, it kinda seemed like there was no plan in place to get guys here. The negative feedback Magic got from free agents was the end for him and Jim.....and the Deng and Mozgov contracts. Good God those were atrocious.
I just figured it out, he's a Kobe stan.
He never had Magic. He just had Kobe.
But there was no cp3 deal the story keeps changing.

didnt odom want out after the failed trade? and odom chose dallas too right?
It's obvious that trade was a terrible deal for New Orleans, that is why Stern who was the ACTING OWNER for the Hornets at the time, rejected the trade. It is not that difficult people.
I'm a Laker fan and have always said the Lakers are bigger than Kobe. It's understandable you would conflate my Laker fandom with Kobe stans since a great portion of them are fans of Kobe himself rather than the team as a whole. First and foremost I recognize Kareem and Jordan as the GOAT. My fave team is the Lakers, and Le-Larry is a fraud. Part 3 later this afternoon. Stick around.

Tonight I watched some of the hurricane relief special on PBS. I must say that I love Danny Glover and Harry Belafonte. They have always been men of such great integrity and courage. I admire them both.
One thing I meant to blog about yesterday was the legacy of Barbra Streisand's early career. She truly was an exceptional presence at the beginning of her career, especially by the late sixties--as she was perhaps the most genuine and unique sounds available during that time among highly popular music, and yet her style, her music selections, and the persona that was placed before the public was such an ultimate throwback to the classic days of Barbra's alter-persona, Fanny Brice. She truly was a revival of that tradition and the legacy of that style and sense of wit. "Father has a business, strictly second hand, everything from toothpicks to a baby grand......" And the fact that the American public took to her style and music in the sixties says something about the American public as well (Her concert in Central Park in 1967 was the largest gathering of people for an individual concert in history for a very long time. Perhaps it still holds the record). Alas, Barbra is truly one of the exceptional divas. her career will forever be defined by the ultimate creativity, ultimate imagination, and inspiring talent.
This evening, right before I left home, I heard some of the scariest shit imaginable---and it has been heard before. The Bush administration has serious proposals out to A: Allow the EPA to completely waive rules for the protection of the environment in cases deemed "Acts of Gods" or dire emergencies by the Bush administration. According to the news report, this has already resulted in the selling of a dirtier grade of fuel because of the shortage due to the disruption of the flow from the Gulf. Also, the Bush administration and the conservative right wing agenda, under the leadership of Senator John Warner of Virginia, have set out a new proposal--an earlier one surfaced right after September 11th-- to allow the dissestablishment of
Posse Commitatus, which provides that military forces cannot be housed, or used as a police force against the civilian population of the United States. Both of these are very dangerous proposals set out by the Bush adminstration and just clearly show how unscrupulous and filthy these people reall are.
I am feeling a bit quesy tonight. I drank a beer simply because I felt obliged to because someone gave it to me. I dont like beer. I then proceeded to drink some coffee with Kahlua and rum, which is why I suppose I am sick. One thing I wanted to say though is that I absolutely love it when my students tell me how much they appreciate me and my work. Thanks.
FR is a wonderful person. It is absoluytely something else when you can listen to a horn, with no words, and know exactly what it is saying. Music is beautiful.
When I was in the third grade, the persona I adopted was Anne of Green Gables. I was Anne for a while.
Tonight's forum was very much a progressive step forward. From the exchange and some of what was said, there definitely is a lot of work that needs to be done. I am glad that there is movement underfoot.
His face so soft and wondrous fair
The purest eyes
and the strongest hands
I love the ground on where he stands
Of my true love's hair
Oh I love my lover
and where he goes
yes, I love the ground on where he goes
And still I hope
that the time will come
when he and I will be as one
So black is the color of my true love's hair
Yesterday while I was at the SSA office, I picked up a copy of Newsweek with Sandra Day O'Connor on the front cover. I started laughing hysterically when I read that during her interview with Reagan for her nomination to the Supreme Court, she "wooed Reagan with tales of growing up on the ranch and being a cowgirl." The article further said that after interviewing her, Reagan canceled all other interviews for the position. Reagan was truly something else..... However, I must say I do respect Sandra Day O'Connor immensely.

Last night I had such insomnia, I couldn't sleep to save my life. I was terribly congested and this cold I have just made sleeping intolerable so I spent most of the night looking for my uncle's obituary. I didn't find it.
Steven Sherman's Whats to Be Done? over at Counterpunch provides a magnificent analysis of the situation down in New Orleans and stresses the ways in which the issues that are now facing that communities most vulnerable communities ( Blacks, the poor) reflect broad issues present on the national scene-- and how the progressive community as a whole fails to combine its push to wars on foreign soil( a predominantly white anti-war movement) and the needs and concerns of those communities suffering within the United States of America. Sherman does make a very significant point in emphasizing the critical rift that exists between these two movements, yet I would like to highlight some places where these issues have blended and where there were efforts of TRUE coalition and efforts to unite the issues of Peace and Justice (alas, United for Peace and Justice!).
Firstly, in the late 60s, the cooperation and coalition-building between such presences as the Black Panther Party, the radical Free Speech movement, the anti-war movement, and other progressive movements were real and were points where there was real potential to unite these struggles. Firstly, Huey P. Newton and other Panthers, constantly stressed an anti-war message--indeed making it a part of the Panther campaign. They constantly talked about the injustice of Blacks being used in the military of a country that was hostile to them and showed them no respect and they constantly expressed sympathies and shows of unity with the peoples of Vietnam......THIS is anti-war activism. Also, the personal relationships and coalitions between Black Power radicals and those of other movements were places where seeds were planted and could have been fostered to bring about true and total revolution. The Chicago Seven could have been a perfect vehicle.
I believe the the blending of such figures as Huey Newton, Bobby Seale, Abbie Hoffman, Jane Fonda, and others of their ilk and dedicaation could definitely have blossomed into a unified front on the parts of both Labor and workers movements, especially among Blacks and other minorities and the Antiwar effort. These seeds could have been fostered. Is there still such an opportunity? Are there any leaders left with the same integrity, dedication, and will as these people had? I have no clue, but I would definitely like to see it happen.
I Believe I Will Repost the Essay that I Wrote After 9/11 for the Second Anniversary
911 Commemorative
When I think of progress, I think of Quakers risking their lives to transport slaves across to freedom, I think of union organizers in the first decades of the Twentieth Century who risked physical harm and political persecution by going down into the backwoods of the South and Appalachian country to organize workers, I think of the teachers who risked loss of employment and jail terms to participate in the Civil Rights marches of the 1960s- people who defied the social order in order to make life better for their fellow human beings.
It seems in times of crisis, there are always those who are moved by the energy caused by the frenzy to do good. These are the elements that I find necessary to progress. In recent years, it has been hard to keep faith in progress, with a multitude of shouts for war and the growing boldness and arrogance with which the current administration is trampling over our rights. It seems that any real meaning of progress has gone into hibernation and left us to the wolves.
As the one year anniversary of September 11th approaches, I think back to that day which I remember with great clarity. I was beginning my junior year of college and I had wakened early so that I could make it to my eight o'clock class, Biology-- a class that I dreaded, but survived because the teacher was a delight to be around. I also wanted to be fresh for my second class of the day, Milton-- a class that I enjoyed , but approached tepidly, as it was the one class in which I was confronted two times a week with my dying pangs of lovesickness as I came face to face with the pale faced boy with black curls that I had been infatuated with for the two previous semesters, but for whom those feelings were no longer there.
As I grudgingly began to climb the three flights of stairs that would take me to the classroom in which my Milton seminar was taught, I was stopped by the frantic wailing of one of my classmates who was descending the staircase as I began to go up, who explained to me gravely, tears staining her cheeks and dampening the auburn curls that fell in her face, "Our nation is under attack." Thinking the girl ludicrous- this couldn't possibly be right, the poor child's gone berserk- I, relieved temporarily at least of the burden of climbing the stairs to the third floor, turned and started walking towards the front entrance.
It was then that I saw my professor, who was also the Dean of Students, walking towards me without book or briefcase, at which point I asked him, " Dr. ____ are we having class today?" Having answered in the negative, I gleefully left the building and returned to my single, private room on the other side of campus where I immediately turned on my television which confirmed what my distraught classmate had said; that two hijacked planes had demolished the twin towers of the World Trade Center and a third had taken out part of the Pentagon.
I stop here to consider the significance of these acts and the ways in which they have been interpreted. I thought, and think now of the significance of 19 men- not diplomats, or dignitaries, or government officials, but plain, ordinary men trained and indoctrinated in the teachings of the Al-Queda network, boarding three different planes and proceeding to wreck the daily prominence and supreme authority of the largest economic power in the world. Wow. It transcends the scope of the imagination that these men could cause the stock market to plunge with no relief in sight, record unemployment, and a schizophrenic government that issued almost daily terror alerts in the face of unknown enemies and anthrax scares which brought psychic turmoil in this country back to levels reached during the darkest days of the Cold War. Wow. And to think that these ordinary men could penetrate the United States' protective shield to commit these acts, to indeed attack the Pentagon itself- the core of US military operation and one of the most vital symbols of US imperialistic might. Wow.
Now, I am not here to either glorify or condemn these men- I will leave their fates to judgment of history, although it is my prediction that their names will be forgotten in light of the larger scope of things. Yet, the significance of their actions is quite real and puts things into a clearer perspective; namely that the United States is not invincible. Neither are the inhabitants of this country. Especially considering that the Justice Department, with John Ashcroft at the helm, has fashioned itself in the style of its years under J. Edgar Hoover, with secret wiretaps and illegal surveillances, as well as infringements on the protections guaranteed under the Bill of Rights. Not to mention the rights of the political prisoners held by the US government which are being violated flagrantly in a total lack of respect for international law.
This leaves the ordinary citizens of the United States vulnerable to the repression and terror imposed by the U.S. government- the threat of overturning Posse Commitatus, the virtual eradication of our basic rights, our loss of privacy, and who knows, we may face another mass disenfranchisement as seen in the last presidential election. Not only that, but we may once more have to pay with our own lives for the crimes of the government that we support and that represents us. And we are culpable. Yet we do have a chance for redemption.
History and scientific knowledge teach us that everything that rises must fall. In relation to empires, the terrorization of three quarters of the globe and the alienation of international sentiment can hasten that process. This is the course on which I see the United States headed; and it is a fate that is reserved for the most dazzling, yet the most indiscreet of empires. The Roman empire comes to mind.
The media, the government, and the public at large are quick to throw around the word terrorist, damning the men who acted on 9/11 and those who support them in sure and quick measures. Yet, was it not terror and the long-suffering caused by the United States that forms the groundswell of support for the organizations that carry out such acts? It was my sincere hope after September 11th that the United States would stop and learn from this tragedy. That it would learn how to walk a better path through the world, one of inspiring dignity, integrity, and hope. I was disappointed. Alas, the United States also fails to take a lesson from history. Did not the Romans fall to a band of barbarians who were generally looked upon as terrorists as well?
I would hope that this country would learn that it is better to walk with a sense of humility and a sincere respect for the broader range of humanity, not just for Americans. And that means relieving the people of Southeast Asia who slave away in your textile industries for less than a dollar a day. That means stop supporting imperialistic monsters like Israel (modeled in the shape of its benefactor) by providing the weapons and money that oppress and deny the humanity of Palestinians. That means funding no more wars in Central and South America. That means ceasing to imprison, disenfranchise, and commit genocide in minority communities within your own borders.
My hopes are still alive. It takes a crisis to turn the wheels of progress. Needless to say, on that fateful day which brought about such grief and devastation, I rejoiced.
My day today was quite interesting. I picked up the Purdue Exponent this morning and got pissed about the Nwaneri case all over again and so I started to do some research and came up with this from the Chronicle of Higher Education which led me to the book, In the Matter of Color, by A. Leon Higginbotham who discusses in the introduction his time as a student here at Purdue in which he recounts how the president of the university, back in 1944, told him that if he didn't like living in the too-cold segregated housing that was provided for them then he could leave the university. Hmm. Is that where it comes from. I believe someone should have been missing a penis.
My grandmother has bone cancer (or so the doctor says). Now she must get her finances in order so that she will be comfortable. I called my cousin Andre so he can invest her money for her and make sure that the money she does have will be protected (hopefully).
I just finished Sharon Solwitz's story "A Country of Herself," I liked it but i didn't like it. I hated that she did not take the baby with her when she died and that he was left for her goyim, white male husband. I hate that she was not vindicated. People never want anyone to be too free. Why did Alice Walker let those white men beat up on Ms. Sophia? Why couldnt she have bashed their heads in? Why didn't the entire community of colored people-- and others who would join... gather together in a revelrie of kicking much white male ass? I don't understand.......why systems of oppression always have to exist....
Something led me to pick up Sharon Solwitz's Blood and Milk. I love it. I am glad I picked it up. Indeed, I believe I am her main character in "A Country of Herself." I have not finished that story yet, but I hope if anything happens-- I hope she castrates her husband. She shouldnt have married a white man--- a goy-- in the first place.

This post is a mini tutorial on how to create an application based on NetBeans Platform that uses the WorldWind Java virtual globe.
Before to continue, you need to have some knowledge about NetBeans Platform, WWJ and JOGL.
NetBeans Platform, similar to Eclipse RCP, is a platform which offers a set of basic functions and functionallities that are common in almost all project. The most clear examples of applications developed with these platforms are NetBeans IDE and Eclipse IDE themselves.
Support handling actions, files and many other things typical in applications.
Active project, decent documentation and great forum activity.
WordlWind Java is a Java API to create and work with a virtual globe, something common on these days and not so easy to implement.
In contrast to WorldWind .NET which is a desktop application, WWJ is only an API, a set of classes you can use to create your own based application.
One impotant thing is WWJ works thanks to JOGL (Java binding for OpenGL API), which is a Java API to work with OpenGL and that uses a native library implementation depending on your system.
Nice question. Ok, if we can say there is any problem it will be: how to create a NetBeans module which includes the JOGL JAR files and also the native libraries so my application will be portable?
Follow the next steps and you will see there is not problem to achieve that.
WorldWind Java 0.6 (build 263.12713).
JOGL (version 1.1.1a). I downloaded versions for Linux and Windows to test the application on two platforms.
Install NetBeans if you don't have installed. Download WWJ and JOGL and uncompress it at some place.
Select the jogl.jar and gluegen.jar files from JOGL folder. In addition to the previous step, here we need to include the native libraries JOGL needs to run. To do that you must to create a folder called release/modules/lib and copy the native libraries.
In the above image you can se the *.so files which corresponds only to the Linux native libraries. To make your application portable to other systems you must need to copy here the required *.dll or any other files.
Step 4: Create a normal module.
Step 5: Set modules dependencies.
What you need to do now is to set the dependecies among the modules. WWJ module depends on JOGL one and your previous normal module will depend on WWJ and JOGL, because it will show a window with the virtual globe.
Right-click on the module name and select New > Window Component. In the next wizard step select for Position the value editor. Press next and select a name for your TopComponent class (and an icon if desired).
You will need to import the required packages from WWJ module, which you must set as a dependency previously.
In addition, the benefit of using this approach is your application, once you build a ZIP distribution, will run on different machines thanks to the native libraries attached in the 'lib' folder.
