The LG V20 to be the first-ever smartphone powered by Nougat
By Pablo Luna -

The LG V20, the successor of the LG V10, will debut at an event in San Francisco on September 6. LG's competitor for Samsung's Galaxy Note7 will be the first-ever smartphone powered by Nougat, Google's new Android 7.0 operating system.
LG has already teased customers with the LG V20 handset's audio features, but the device's final look had been top-secret material until yesterday. Notorious leaker Evan Blass shared on his Twitter account (@evleaks) a photo of the LG V20's front.
Electronic accessory distributor Petra also leaked another image online on Wednesday. A white third-party rugged case for the upcoming LG V20 can be seen as well as the smartphone. Several weeks ago, there were other renders of the LG V20, but these two look more official and have confirmed the first ones which hinted at a metal body and dual camera setup.
In the photos, the secondary display, which the LG V10 was the first to feature, is clearly visible and apparently is set to return to the LG V20. The display shows notifications, network connectivity and more.
Previous images of the LG V20 showed a thicker bottom bezel. However, it now seems that the bottom bezel was extended further down to make room for the LG logo. Even though it indicates the new model may not have the same removable bottom bezel as the LG G5, it could allow being detached for users to access its battery. Indeed it appears there's going to be little space for any modular accessories to be plugged in.
But one of LG V20's key points that have been officially revealed by LG is that it will bring the best sound to users. The South Korean company has made sure of that by working with B&O Play, which has many years producing high-end portable audio products and headphones as part of Bang & Olufsen.
The V20 set will include specially designed B&O PLAY earphones and wallpapers for the premium audio experience.
Rumored specs and release date
The first smartphone to natively run Android 7.0 Nougat will probably sport a 5.7-inch QHD touchscreen with a resolution of 2,560 x 1,440 pixels and a 2.2 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor. The smartphone is said to champion 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage, expandable up to 256GB.
The handset is also anticipated to boast an 8-megapixel secondary camera and a 21-megapixel dual-camera on the back. The LG V20, which is set to house a 4,000 mAh battery, will be the first smartphone in the industry to feature 32-bit Hi-Fi Quad DAC (digital to analog converter) for a superior audio experience.
The V20, LG's new flagship smartphone, is scheduled to be unveiled on September 6 during a press event in San Francisco. It will go on pre-order on September 14 and become available on September 23 in the United States.

Ayurveda is a system of medicine with historical roots in the Indian sub continent. It gets originated from Atharvaveda which get ramified into Astanga Ayurveda (8 branches of Ayurveda). They are Shalya, Shalakya, Kayachikitsa, Bhootavidya, Koumarbhritya, Agadatantra, Rasayan tantra, Bajikarantantra. According to Susruta, Bhoota Bidya means the branch of Ayurveda which deals with the diseases caused by Deva, Daitya, Gandharva, Yaksha, Rakshas, Pitar, Pisash, Naag etc and their treatment by Santipath, Balipradan, Havan etc is defined as Bhutavidya. Susruta Samhita though deals or covers all the 8 branches of Astanga Ayurveda but it emphasis more on Shalya Chikitsa. The Bhoota Vidya related topics are all scattered in Susruta Samhita and make it hard for the readers to find out their topics. So, for the convenience of the reader and to make it updated with the changing present era and easily accessible, the present work has been carried out. In 27 chapters of Susruta Samhita has Bhoot Bidya related topics. Sutrasthan contain 9 chapters, Sharir Sthan contains 1 chapter, Chikitsa Sthan contains 2 chapters and Uttar Tantra contains 15 chapters. Compiling the scattered topics of Bhuta Bidya available in Susruta Samhita will make the reader easy to choose its topic of interest in Susruta Samhita regarding the Bhuta Bidya related topics and it also helps further in research works.

While the Nazis took control of Germany and planned for war in Europe, Japan aggressively expanded its control of territory in east Asia by invading Manchuria in 1931 and China in 1937. In 1940, Japan signed the Tripartite Pact with Germany and Italy, creating World War II's Axis powers. While the United States had remained neutral in the war, it responded to Japan's aggression in Asia with economic sanctions that caused severe shortages of natural resources that the Japanese needed for their war effort. In an attempt to prevent American interference in the Pacific war, Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, the US naval station in Hawaii, in a surprise attack on December 7, 1941. 1
On December 8, Joseph Goebbels described Adolf Hitler as "exceptionally happy" when he learned the news. Goebbels wrote:
On the basis of the Tripartite Pact we will probably not [be able to avoid] a declaration of war on the United States. But now this isn't so bad anymore. We are now to a certain extent protected on our flanks. The United States will probably no longer make aircraft, weapons, and transport available to England so carelessly, as it can be assumed that they will need these for their own war against Japan. 2
On December 9, 1941—two days after the attack—US President Franklin D. Roosevelt addressed the American people on the radio. He said, in part:
The course that Japan has followed for the past ten years in Asia has paralleled the course of Hitler and Mussolini in Europe and in Africa. Today, it has become far more than a parallel. It is actual collaboration so well calculated that all the continents of the world, and all the oceans, are now considered by the Axis strategists as one gigantic battlefield. . . .
In these past few years—and, most violently, in the past three days—we have learned a terrible lesson.
It is our obligation to our dead—it is our sacred obligation to their children and to our children—that we must never forget what we have learned.
And what we all have learned is this: There is no such thing as security for any Nation—or any individual—in a world ruled by the principles of gangsterism. . . .
We are now in the midst of a war, not for conquest, not for vengeance, but for a world in which this Nation, and all that this Nation represents, will be safe for our children. We expect to eliminate the danger from Japan, but it would serve us ill if we accomplished that and found that the rest of the world was dominated by Hitler and Mussolini.
We are going to win the war and we are going to win the peace that follows. . . . 3
Two days later, on December 11, 1941, Adolf Hitler declared war on the United States, and Benito Mussolini of Italy followed suit. Hours later, the United States declared war on both countries. In his address to the Reichstag, Hitler said: "If it is the will of Providence that the German people not be spared this struggle, then I will be grateful to Providence for having appointed me leader in a historic contest, which for the next five hundred or one thousand years, will decisively affect not only German history but also the history of Europe, and indeed all of mankind." 4
Connection Questions
Why was Hitler happy that the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor? How did the bombing of Pearl Harbor lead to the entry of the United States into a war against Germany?
What is "gangsterism"? Why do you think Roosevelt compared the Germans to gangsters?
According to Roosevelt, what principles was the United States fighting for? How did the country's reasons for fighting the war, as articulated by Roosevelt, differ from those of Germany?

I'll always remember my first trip to Paris. I was in the eleventh grade, on a school trip to experience the French culture I'd been learning about and romanticizing in my mind for so long.

The Mutants Share the Spotlight in New 'X-Men: Apocalypse' Posters
By Jake Berlin on April 9, 2016 • ( Leave a comment )
After a pretty controversial start for X-Men: Apocalypse, Bryan Singer's latest entry into the franchise he started over 15 years ago has been on a pretty big hot streak. The first trailer was good, good enough to get us excited. But where it all really started was that, let's face it, epic Super Bowl TV spot, which was followed by a very strong second trailer. With it just over a month away, it's unlikely we'll be seeing any more new footage, which leaves plenty of room for other marketing tools to step up. And that's exactly where these brand new characters come into play.
To this point we've gotten some decent posters, which focused on the X-Men and Apocalypse and his Four Horseman. But this past week saw a slew of others added to the roster. Not only did we get a batch on Apocalypse's Four Horseman, but the official character posters as well. Each major player in the upcoming film gets a piece of the spotlight, each showcasing the different mutations they have. I've never really been super high on character posters, with only so many really sticking out to me (such as The Force Awakens). But I'll be honest, I really dig these posters. I'm not really sure what it is about them, but they are some of the better ones I've seen. Each one of these characters is so drastically different from the next, which gets me very excited to see them on screen together; it's definitely one of the better group of X-Men characters Singer has assembled.
Take a look at the new posters below and let us know what you think in the comments below. Which poster is your favorite? Which character are you most excited to see? What's your anticipation level like for Apocalypse? Bryan Singer's X-Men: Apocalypse hits theaters May 27th, 2016 and stars Jennifer Lawrence, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Nicholas Hoult, Evan Peters, Oscar Isaac, Rose Byrne, Olivia Munn, Lucas Till, Alexandra Shipp, Tye Sheridan, Sophie Turner, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Ben Hardy and Lana Condor.

Chinese New Year is going to be on Jan 31st this year. It is 3 weeks away. It is time to get things ready. But you may ask what shortbread cookies and Chinese New Year have anything to do with each other.
During Chinese New Year, people go around to visit relatives and friends. It is the perfect opportunity to spend time together. When you go to visit someone, you can't go empty handed. You always need to bring a gift with you. Most common gifts are fruits, chocolates, and cookies. The popular gifts in Hong Kong are Ferreo Rocher and Kjeldsens Butter Cookies (I am not sure whether this is still true nowadays, but at least it was when I was living in HK.) And of course, homemade cookies would be even better.
This year, Bryan and I will be in Hong Kong for Chinese New Year. It has been 10 years since I celebrate Chinese New Year in Hong Kong. I am looking forward to seeing all my families and friends and showing Bryan everything about Chinese New Year.
I will be bringing these espresso-chocolate shortbread to my relatives. These cookies are buttery and crumbly. The espresso flavors definitely come through, but not overpowering. The espresso and chocolate make great balance and they make the traditional cookies more unique. Did I mention that these cookies are addicting? You really can't just eat one! Enjoy! Wish you luck in the year of Horse!
In a small heatproof bowl, add the espresso powder. Pour the boiling water and mix well with a spoon. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and powdered sugar at low speed for 30 seconds. Turn the speed to medium and beat until the mixture is very smooth, about 3 minutes. Add the vanilla and espresso and beat to combine. With the mixer at low speed, add the flour and mix until just combine. Fold in the chocolate chips with a wooden spoon or spatula.
Divide dough in half. Roll each half into a 2-inch-diameter long log. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hour, or for up to 2 days.
Preheat oven to 325˚F (165˚C). Arrange racks in lower and upper thirds of the oven. Line two baking sheets with parchment papers.
Unwrap 1 dough log. Cut log into ¼-inch rounds with a sharp knife. Transfer to prepared sheets, spacing 1-inch apart.
Bake until cookies are slightly golden brown at the bottom and can be easily removed from the baking sheet, about 19 – 22 minutes. Rotate the baking sheets from top to bottom and front to back at the midway point. Transfer the cookies to cooling racks and let cool completely. Repeat with the rest of the dough.
If you can't find mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, you can use chopped semi-sweet chocolate.
For storage, put the cookies in a tightly sealed container. They can be store up to 3 days.
How exciting! I hope you share your adventure with us on your blog! I'd love to see pictures of Chinese New Year in Hong Kong!
These cookies definitely travel well. But I will be baking them at my parents' place. Fresher is better. Oh small oven, hope you will work ok. Fingers crossed.
That's awesome that you are going to be spending CNY in HK this year, can't wait to hear all about it 🙂 These cookies look wonderful, I love shortbread cookies and I bet they taste fantastic with the chocolate chips and espresso!
Thanks! Yes, I am getting really excited. It has been too long since I am back to my hometown. I would love to see my grandmas and families.
Love your short cakes. They look crunchy and buttery!
How exciting you'll be in HK for the Chinese New Year this year. My wife and I planned to do the same this year (she's from HK) but we had to cancelled it due to work. I hope you have a lot of fun!!
Mmm with espresso! Looks so good!
Thank you, Charisma! Yes, coffee lovers would love this. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!
Thank you very much, Jess! They were absolutely amazing and addicting. Hope you will give it a try! Thanks for stopping by.
Your chocolate shortbread must be nice treats to munch and count down to your CNY trip… Exciting!
Thank you, Zoe. I agree that CNY in hometown is special and it is not the same to celebrate it elsewhere. I am very excited about the trip! I wish it can come sooner.
Your shortbread cookies looks wonderful. I love eating shortbread and espresso is one of my favourite flavours in bakes. Thanks for linking with Bake-Along!
Wish you a wonderful trip to Hong Kong and a joyous Chinese New Year with your family!
hi lokness, spending cny in hkg i think will make one really get into cny mood, afterall it's a chinese living community there. You already sound excited about the trip and probably bryian is even more excited. thx for sharing with us this addictive shorbread cookies. What a coincidence that the other day i was looking at your baked pork chop rice on the internet and now talking to you , i hope to attempt the pork chop rice one day , sound super delicious with fried rice, tomato and cheese.
It was definitely very nice to celebrate CNY in HK. That festive atmosphere just can't be found in the US. We had an amazing time.
Thank you for hosting the Bake-Along event. It was nice to see all the different cookie recipes. I would love to try a few of them.

New Jersey State Budget and Superintendent Salary Caps
It's June – we are in New Jersey – and it is budget season.
New Jersey's elected state representatives have created an environment of unpredictable budget experiences during the past few years during the month of June. New Jersey is required by our state constitution to adopt a balanced budget for the succeeding fiscal year by July 1. Hence, the NJ Fiscal 2020 Budget is now front and center. If there is no balanced budget in place, the routine business of state government services will cease until the balanced budget is approved and signed by the Governor. Last year, Governor Phil Murphy and lawmakers reached an 11th-hour compromise to avoid such a shutdown.
As of On Target's press time, strong indications from Trenton are pointing in the direction of another government shutdown. On June 17, the New Jersey Legislature advanced its budget plan that that does not include some of the Governor's priorities as presented on March 5 in his Fiscal Year 2020 Budget: A Blueprint for the Middle Class. Most notably, the legislative version does not include Governor Murphy's proposed millionaire's tax which he connected to a $250 million increase in property tax relief. The legislative version does, however, include an additional $50 million to districts to offset extraordinary special education costs, a key NJASA lobbying point. This is hopefully the first installment of four equal payments during the years ahead supported by Senate President Steve Sweeney to meet the state's obligation to pay the extra costs for student services where the cost exceeds $55,000 per year.
There are many issues and moving parts in the budget negotiation and the media has highlighted them during the budget debate. The most notable factor is the strong disagreement on key components in the path forward for New Jersey and its residents. Several of the positions taken by Governor Phil Murphy are opposed by Senate President Steve Sweeney and Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin. With fewer than two weeks to the July 1 budget adoption deadline, residents will be watching closely to see where concessions are made by the key players to secure the next state budget.
A positive note to report during this volatile political time is the scheduled action by the Assembly on June 20 to prohibit the NJ Commissioner of Education from establishing salary maximums for superintendents of schools. If approved, the bill will require Senate concurrence on amendments that codify the standards adopted by the Commissioner of Education under N.J.A.C. 6A:23-3.1 for the approval of the employment contracts of superintendents, assistant superintendents, and school business administrators by the executive county superintendent of schools. Kudos to NJASA members for all your efforts and responses to the Association's recent Calls to Actions. Your actions were instrumental in advancing the legislation before the Assembly Education Committee and the Committee's unanimous release of the bill on June 10.
NJASA will keep you apprised of what the final adopted budget means for districts and their communities. In the interim, please reach out to your local legislators and to the Governor's office to support the proposal to increase aid to districts to offset extraordinary special education costs.

Dead Connection is an arcade game released by Taito in 1992. The game takes place on September 5, 1953 "in a big city somewhere".
It features a group of detectives who set out to fight a crime family. The game has a strong Film noir vibe, shown through the appearance of the detectives and the featuring of a female protagonist. Each stage is preceded by a short cinematic interlude that explains the transition between the game's different locales.
The in-game manoeuvres were unusually diverse for a sprite-based shoot 'em up game of the era. When the player moves his character to within arm's length of an enemy, the shoot button triggers a melee attack. The player can also lie prone to evade gunfire, and perform a diving somersault in order to quickly take cover behind tables, plants, pillars, statues, and other fixtures.
Instead of using scrolling each stage takes place against an unmoving but richly detailed backdrop—beginning with the lavish interior of a posh hotel. Most of the environment is destructible and the scenery becomes visibly degraded by bullet holes throughout the prolonged firefights.
The game seems to take specific inspiration from the 1987 mobster film The Untouchables. Two of the main characters bear an unmistakable resemblance to Andy Garcia and Kevin Costner who both starred in that film as George Stone/Giuseppe Petri and Eliot Ness, respectively.

1. The Reasons you started Your Business? A lot of money in shortest time possible? Freedom of time & creativity? Own boss with all authority? Less work ? I suggest you to think again, and find much more deeper reasons. These are mostly myths, but not the eMyth. "If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward." — Martin Luther King, Jr.
The Best Reasons should be : The Deepest Passion for your idea & a real Need in the market place. And yes, you believe that you have right attitude & mindset to overcome all possible hurdles & failures. Can you use failures as part of "learning process."? Can you keep your ego aside, and without hesitation or fear, reach out to mentors & expert and ask them for guidance when you need it?
Listen, most people invest to move from pain to comfort and they care damn if the product has 5 GHz processor or 20 GHz – as long they can see the difference. There is always a huge difference between "good to have" and "must have". Is your product a "must have"?
Having "Skin in the Game" is one of the first things which Venture Capitalists find out about the founders is their own and "relationships between founder & the employees". Take help of experts to find out the skills required by you to win the game : Inter-personal Relationships, (+) Mindset, Networking, etc. Pair-up with an "accountability partner". Once the gaps in your company's expertise are identified, find one of the best Business Coach in your area, and don't be afraid to ask anything. The returns are priceless.
5. Build your own Marketing approach from the beginning. Remember, many great Startups went Bankrupt, as they were hallucinated in their own world and thought that the technology was everything. They blew everything on development and by the time product was ready, they had nothing much left to market and invest in messaging. They missed budgeting for the "Lifeline". Now, what is their a practical solution to the above? Is it possible for someone from a non-sales/marketing background to start planning, execute & systematically build sales system? The answer is Yes. Contact Mr Wiz4biz [5 Star Startup Services] or some other reputable service to help you – who's done it before – and often – many times.

Inspiring Life Lessons and Genius Beauty Tips Merge in This Cool New Book
Happy Skin founder Rissa Mananquil-Trillo shares insights on life, beauty, and business in her new book.
by Ashley Martelino
(SPOT.ph) In this day and age, building your own business is more accessible than ever—as seen by the onslaught of startups and online brands that continues to multiply each year. However, with the fiercer competition and the unpredictability of the market, it can be difficult for young entrepreneurs to forge a name for themselves and to create something that would leave a mark. But every once in a while, budding innovators and visionaries show us that with hard work and the right mindset, it's still possible to build something from scratch and make it grow.
Even before co-founding an award-winning beauty brand in 2013, Happy Skin's Rissa Mananquil-Trillo was already a notable name in the Philippine fashion and beauty industries. In her new book Read My Lips: What It Takes to Build a World-Class Homegrown Brand, she shares her personal journey in creating the brand, the challenges she experienced along the way, and the wisdom she gained from overcoming them.
PHOTO BY Summit Books
Mananquil-Trillo was at the peak of her modeling career, a beauty columnist for a major broadsheet, and married with children when she decided to build her own beauty brand—a testament to the saying that it's never too late to start. In Read My Lips, she not only details the failures and successes that she encountered along the way, but offers practical and insightful advice for young people who are also interested in building their own businesses. The book is divided into two parts: Business and Beauty. Budding entrepreneurs will delight in reading chapters like "In the Business of Happiness," and "The Untold Truths About Being an Entrepreneur" while beauty junkies will enjoy passages like "How Can I Be Happy in My Own Skin?"
The book also contains interviews with notable entrepreneurs like Socorro Ramos, Ben Chan, Vicki Belo, Margarita Forés, and more, with each one sharing different pieces of advice learned from years of cultivating their respective businesses. It also features life and beauty insights from personalities like Heart Evangelista-Escudero, Bianca Gonzalez-Intal, Liz Uy, Apples Aberin, and more. The memoir-slash-guidebook serves as both an inspiration and a handbook for those who want to start their own business and for die-hard beauty lovers.
Here's a peek at the book's pages:

16 St. George's Terrace is located in the Perth CBD. MPS scope of works included converting a DX Central Plant in a 12 storey commercial building to water cooled, chilled water plant and chilled water air handling units. Works also included installing a condenser water loop for tenant connections in a fully occupied building. The BMS system was upgraded.
MPS were required to maintain conditioned space and change over a floor at a time.

Man Arrested After Leading Casper Police on Pursuit
Nick Learned
Nick Learned Published: October 30, 2017
Natrona County Detention Center
A man was arrested early Sunday after a traffic stop for suspected drunken driving turned into a police chase.
Gabriel Anthony Roybal, 32, was booked into jail on recommended charges of driving while under the influence, driving under suspension, eluding, property damage, felony theft and interference. He will likely make his initial appearance in Natrona County Circuit Court at 2 p.m. Monday.
Charging papers say a Casper police detective responded to a report of a drunk driver in the area of CY Avenue and Poplar Street at about 11:40 p.m. Friday. The person who reported the incident described a vehicle as driving "all over the road."
The detective followed the vehicle westbound on CY Avenue and reportedly saw the vehicle -- a gold 2006 Buick four-door -- driving erratically, so the detective stopped the Buick.
The driver -- Roybal -- was visibly intoxicated, according to the detective's affidavit. Roybal claimed he had not consumed any alcohol.
When the detective returned to his patrol vehicle to check Roybal's license status, Roybal allegedly shifted the Buick into 'drive' and took off at a high rate of speed. The detective followed as Roybal drove north on Fairgrounds Road.
The pursuit continued west on Fairside Road and then north on Wyoming Boulevard, where Roybal allegedly drove in excess of 60 mph in a 20-mph construction zone.
As Roybal approached the traffic signal at West 13th Street, he allegedly veered out of his lane of travel and crashed through orange traffic barrels in the intersection. The detective ended the pursuit.
Roybal reportedly continued north on Wyoming Boulevard, crashing through more barrels before his Buick left the roadway and hit a sign for the town of Mills. Roybal crashed in front of a Mills police officer.
Officers pulled Roybal from the Buick and handcuffed him.
Roybal refused to participate in standard field sobriety tests. He also refused to give a breath sample, and refused to comply with a search warrant.
A check of Roybal's driver's license showed it to be suspended.
The registered owner of the vehicle, who used to be in a romantic relationship with Roybal, told the detective that she left Roybal in February due to his excessive drinking. She had purchased the Buick after breaking up with Roybal, and she was the sole owner.
Roybal's ex said she paid $5,500 for the Buick and never gave Roybal permission to use it. She asked to pursue charges for the theft of and damage to the vehicle.

SCI-Arc Exhibition: Architectural Bestia
Curated by Hernán Díaz Alonso and Designed by M. Casey Rehm
Featuring work by BairBalliet, Herwig Baumgartner, Current Interests, Hernán Díaz Alonso, Griffin Enright, Aminatou Fall, Ramiro Diaz Granados, Soomeen Hahm, Kordae Jatafa Henry, Damjan Jovanovic, Alberto Kalach, Ferda Kolatan, Elena Manferdini, Fabian Marcaccio, Lucy McRae, P-A-T-T-E-R-N-S, Florencia Pita & Co, M. Casey Rehm, Ruy Klein, Servo LA-Stockholm, Testa & Weiser, Tom Wiscombe, William Virgil, and Liam Young.
In every process of evolution, there is a period of extreme contamination that lends the possibility for the trajectories of species to begin to mutate. In the last thirty years, design has experienced multiple paradigm shifts generated by an eruption of new methodologies. These were derived mainly from new technologies, but also from a series of cultural changes, each prompting a reorganization in the culture of design, architecture, and art, and violating an old order, rendering it historical, obsolete. Today, perhaps as never before, we share a technical language that flows from discipline to discipline, altering the paths of previously discrete branches of knowledge. Many practices—art, architecture, fashion, film, music—explore similar ambitions, ideas rippling across and among them. The notion of authorship itself is in flux. This exhibition acknowledges and propels this phenomenon. It seeks to carve a path through a jungle of aesthetic and conceptual similarities to provoke contamination. Through artificial intelligence, the work featured will be exposed to a perpetual state of transformation and mutation. The exhibition gathers a key set of practices, primarily from architecture, but also from art and fashion, to reveal facets of the strange beast that the tumultuous paradigm shifts of recent decades have left behind.

Computer Tune-Ups
Computer Housecalls
Computer and Laptop Tune-Ups
Remember when you first bought your computer?
Remember that "Oh, wow!" feeling you had when you saw how fast it was the first time you booted it up and used it?
Chances are, it's not that fast anymore.
The fact is that as computers are used, they slow down and become more prone to errors. This is true even for basically healthy computers. There doesn't necessarily have to be anything terribly "wrong" with them like a virus or a hardware problem for them to become slow and unstable. They just need regular, periodic maintenance like any other machine.
We call this regular, scheduled maintenance a computer tune-up, and it's one of the most cost-effective things you can do to make your computer use more enjoyable and efficient, while also extending your computer's life. For most users, we recommend an annual tune-up to keep your computer happily humming along. For heavily-used computers or computers used by children or teens, however, we recommend a tune-up every six months.
Why Do Computers and Laptops Need Tune-Ups, Anyway?
A lot of people wonder why a machine that has few or no moving parts should need to be tuned up. The answer is that in the normal course of a computer's operation, many changes are made to the computer's operation system that can slow the computer down. For example:
Huge amounts of temp files and other garbage data build up in the temp directories.
Useless programs accumulated over time take up space and sometimes use processor and memory resources.
The registry gets full of incorrect entries, which slow the system down and can cause errors and system instability.
The computer's file system can become corrupted or fragmented.
The master file table can become excessively fragmented, which causes a serious performance hit.
Too many non-essential programs auto-start themselves. wasting CPU and RAM capacity.
The above are only a few of the things that happen in the course of a healthy computer's operation. If the computer is infected by adware, spyware, viruses, or other malware, the problems can become exponentially worse (and put your privacy and security at risk, as well).
In addition to making your computer slow and unstable, the problems above can also cause your computer to wear out sooner. When a computer slows down, it means it's working harder; and that extra work creates heat, which is any electronic device's enemy. In most cases, these problems also cause more wear and tear on the hard drive or SSD because more data is being moved and cached. (Although SSDs have no moving parts, they do have a finite number of read / write cycles.)
Affordable Computer Tune-Ups in Port Washington
At Computer Port, we love computers -- especially fast ones that are running at the peak of their abilities. And we love making that happen. (We're geeks, after all. We're into that sort of thing.)
A lot of times, users don't realize how slow their computers have gotten because it happened gradually, over time. But when we sit down at a slow computer and tune it up, the difference as we complete every step of the process becomes very noticeable. It's like going from a Yugo to a Jaguar. The difference can be amazing.
That's why a computer tune-up usually is one of the most economical things you can do to increase your computer's speed and prolong its life. A carry-in, Standard Computer Tune-Up at our office costs only $75.00, and an Advanced Computer Tune-Up (which also includes a new malware / virus scanner) costs only $99.95.
So if your computer has become slow or instable, don't put it out for the recycling truck just yet. Give us a call instead. There's a pretty good chance that we can get your computer running its best again, for far less money than the cost of a new machine (not to mention the cost and inconvenience of moving all your programs and data).
Computer Port is conveniently located on Main Street in Port Washington, New York. For more information about computer tune-ups or any of our fine services, please contact us.
Computer Port provides high-quality computer and laptop tune-ups in the Port Washington, NY area, including Port Washington, Baxter Estates, Sands Point, Flower Hill, Manhasset, Munsey Park, Manorhaven, Great Neck, and Roslyn.

After reports surfaced that 6ix9ine's sexual misconduct case would likely result in a new sentencing, a New York judge has instead dismissed the case entirely.
According to TMZ, the decision to dismiss the case, and therefore revoke the sentencing of four years probation and 1,000 hours of community service, arrived in the wake of his being booked on federal racketeering and firearms charges.
Due to the Brooklyn rapper's latest arrest, the state's government isn't able to enforce probation or facilitate community service. As such, 6ix9ine's fate now lies in the federal court system. His lawyer, Lance Lazzaro, confirmed the update on his client's legal situation with TMZ.
As previously reported, a pre-trial conference is set for January 22 and the trial will begin in September 2019. He currently is facing 32 years to life in prison stemming from his arrest in November.
Regarding the decision to drop his state case, where the rapper previously pleaded guilty to use of a child in a sexual performance and accepted a deal to avoid jail time, the Manhattan D.A.'s office had no comment.
Despite his ongoing legal trouble, 6ix9ine's new album Dummy Boy made its debut at the No. 2 slot on the Billboard 200.


So painting glass is not easy. I'm not totally satisfied with it, but for my first time tackling glass I'll accept it. Besides it's not like I spend hours and hours on these little daily digital paintings. they are more for exercising my skills and try new things.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy this one. I kinda like the concept and I think i'll rework this at a later date.

Partners on the Range
Horses carry with them centuries of meaning, tied to legend and myth, romance and intrigue. Their origins began fifty million years ago, having been traced from North America through Asia to the plains of Spain's Andalusia, and then back across the Atlantic to the ranges of the American West. Few pairings have ever produced a more perfect partnership between man/woman and animal. In most parts of the country horses have become creatures for pleasure having lost their work function decades ago. But, on Southwest rangelands, horses continue to play a valuable role as hardworking and loyal companions.
These images were made at various locations in the American Southwest, and over a period of several years. From a remote corner of North Western Colorado, where the Sombrero Ranches are keeping alive a vanishing part of western heritage, to the Dugout Ranch perched smack in the middle of Utah's red rock country, and closer to home, New Mexico's Bonanza Creek Ranch, "Partners on the Range" hopes to convey the power and pride of these stately animals and the working relationships shared with their human partners.

Reconnecting Puerto Rico
Commitment by International Connector; Centro para Puerto Rico
In 2019, International Connector (IC) and the Centro para Puerto Rico at the Fundación Sila M. Calderón committed to upgrading six Community Technology Centers (CTCs) across Puerto Rico to offer technological resources and act as community resiliency hubs. Puerto Rico has one of the highest levels of income inequality in the world and a poverty level of nearly 50% – realities that are exacerbated by digital access gaps, particularly in rural and marginalized communities. To address this issue, IC will provide tools such as free satellite internet and computers to these six centers, while the Centro will offer a range of community capacity building activities, such as workshops in computer skills, entrepreneurship, and leadership, with a focus on women's empowerment. Through the commitment, 9,000 people across six municipalities will have increased access to digital resources, as well as resilient communications equipment in the event of a future disaster.

International Connector and the Centro para Puerto Rico at the Fundación Sila M. Calderón are committing to upgrading and enhancing six Community Technology Centers (CTCs) across Puerto Rico to offer not only robust technological resources, but to act as community resiliency and empowerment hubs.
In 2018, International Connector established their first hub, an internet-connected community space, in a primary care facility in a community in Arroyo that does not have its own library and where more than 50% of the population lives in poverty. The partners will expand on this model by upgrading five additional CTCs currently managed by the Centro para Puerto Rico across different municipalities on the island. International Connector will conduct technology assessments and provide advanced technical solutions to these five existing technology centers, and Centro will provide a robust round of entrepreneurship and community sustainability training to International Connector's existing hub in Arroyo and the five additional CTCs that will receive technological upgrades.
In order to reduce the digital gap in Puerto Rico, these six centers will provide access to free satellite internet connectivity, computers, and a wide range of services and programs from assistance in the use of the computer and the Internet, to tutorials, trainings, and workshops on topics such as technology management, entrepreneurship, and leadership to approximately 300 people in each center annually. In addition to providing a safe community space year-round, these facilities are intended to also serve as emergency response centers to support the community with communications technology in the event of a future hurricane or other emergency.
Additionally, build local capacity and women's leadership, the partners, through support from Women's Campaign International will train and employ two community members in each location to manage the centers, with the majority of these employees being women. The centers will be transitioned to independent 501c3s in early 2020 to be run by the communities themselves with ongoing support from the commitment partners. Through this commitment, approximately 1,500 people in each of these six underserved communities on the island will gain access to digital resources and skills that will ultimately bolster the communities' resilience and economic potential.
May 2019: Submit grant applications for additional funding to close funding gap.
June 2019: CGI and other partnership building meetings.
July 2019: Centro para Puerto Rico to run community sustainability trainings in Arroyo hub.
August 2019: International Connector to run technology assessments in five of Centro's current technology centers.
September/October 2019: Implement technology upgrades and best practices for a co-working technology center.
October/November 2019: Start entrepreneurship and community self-sustaining trainings.
January 2020 - Centers are independent 501c3s and partners' teams provide support through partnerships, workshops, and operational support.
March 2020 - Finalize long-term sustainability strategy for implementation by the communities.
The U.S. Census Bureau indicates in its report (2016) that 45.1% of the population in Puerto Rico lives under the U.S. federal poverty level. After the recent hurricanes, several economists estimate that this number could rise to a striking 52%, and in some municipalities in the center of the Island to over 60% living under U.S. federal poverty levels.
Meanwhile, the Census Information Center of the University of Puerto Rico (2017) reported the Island was one of five countries with the greatest inequality in the world. The wealthiest 20% of Puerto Ricans own wealth equivalent to 55.3% of the Gross National Product, while the wealth of the poorest 20% over Puerto Ricans amounts to only 1.7% of the GNP. Official estimates from Puerto Rico's Department of Labor and Human Resources (2018) reported an 8.3% unemployment rate compared to 3.3% in the mainland. In specific rural areas of Puerto Rico, unemployment rates are as high as 14% (Data USA).
This reality is exacerbated by significant digital gaps in Puerto Rico. In non-metropolitan areas where International Connector works, the organization has observed that in some cases, over 78% of community members do not have access to reliable or any internet access. At the same time, the UN Sustainable Development Goals emphasize technology as a key basic service and tool for poverty reduction and economic growth globally; in particular, goals 1 (No Poverty), 8 (Good Jobs and Economic Growth); and 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) highlight the need to expand access to technology and communications, expand training opportunities in diversified economic sectors including technological upgrading, and provide resilient infrastructure that can not only support economic growth, but also speed up the recovery of individuals after natural disasters.
The partners seek additional financial resources to fully fund the commitment activities, additional technology partnerships to enhance technical offerings, and additional implementing partners to enhance skill-building workshops. The commitment partners can offer best practices for the establishment and operations of a community technology center, and topic expertise in the following areas: community-focused social investment, technology expertise including resilient communication systems, coordination of co-operative partners, community participatory strategies, entrepreneurship training, and community capacity building trainings.
