What You Absolutely HAVE To Do After Getting Your Passport

Credit to: Sineta George

"Ok... I did a GREAT POST this morning about what you absolutely HAVE
to do (after getting a passport) before moving outside of the US. Then
my computer locked up, I had to reboot and lost it! It must have been
too long! Now I will do the short version cuz I gotta get up outta
here 2day!
#1 (and please just take my word for it!) PAYPAL PAYPAL PAYPAL!
3 accounts if you can work it out like that, all connected to bank
accounts WITH AN ATM CARD... open what's called a 'BUSINESS ACCOUNT'
so you get the Visa/Mastercard as well. This is crucial. Even if it's
only connected to a savings account with $20 bucks, it doesn't matter.
What matters is you have to have ACCESS to money, online, 24/7 at
every atm machine in the world at a low price. $1.50 per withdrawal,
zero for bank charges for grocery stores & restaurants. If something
happens and paypal shuts down your account you will have 2 more to
fall back on. Western Union and wire transfers are expensive and with
PayPal you can send money to other people or get money from other
people, in seconds, then WALK to the atm machine in your neighborhood
(if you are in Senegal - we have them on every block!) and withdraw.
Also, at some point you may want to sell stuff on eBay (and you will),
or buy stuff off Amazon (and you will), PayPal accounts that are set
up in the US are REQUIRED.
Credit cards from black banks, Chase Manhattan, Citibank, all that
stuff is GREAT! Bring what you've got but the most important card you
can have is your paypal card. Trust me - I've been here 16 years and
it has saved my life many times whereas other banks you have to call,
they put you on hold, take forever, lose the call, costs you money etc
etc etc.
#2 as a follow up to #1, open an eBay and Amazon account and be sure
you have SELLERS ACCOUNTS so you have the option of doing online
commerce if your whiz bang business plan isn't as whiz bang as you
thought it was. Again, trying to open or convert accounts while
sitting in Africa is not allowed or impossible.
#3 find and appoint a close friend or family member (with a paypal
account) that you can trust 100% to take care of shipping and
financial matters for you. This person should be able to accept money
for you, send it to you thru paypal, accept packages that you order on
eBay, and ship to you. If you don't have someone to take care of your
shipping, open a private PO box where there is a forwarding service.
This will allow you to have a US address and you can order Twizzlers
or whatever when you get a craving and they will hold it for you until
you are ready to get many items shipped at once. Pay for 1 or 2 years
in advance so you don't have any problems.
#4 get an international driver's license from AAA or wherever they
come from. Make sure it's an internationallyaccepted international
card. There are probably scams out there so be careful.
#5 get duplicate original copies of important documents (insurance
policies, medical records if they are necessary, birth certificates,
etc) and your children and give them to the trusted friend/family
member and also if you have children, bring 3 original birth
certificates for school. They require original documents for the
testing centers to cut down on cheating. It's a long story but anyway,
it's a good system and it works. All students have to turn in an
original birth certificate to take the tests and if you don't have one
and have to wait on it your child will not be able to sit for exams.
They are done all at once, during one week, at different testing
centers/schools (they switch schools so teachers, class monitors and
students don't know each other) all around the country period. No
exceptions. Having extras will insure that if something happens to one
(water damage for example) then you have another somewhere else.
These 5 things are of the UTMOST IMPORTANCE but the easiest things to
take care of. Don't wait, do it now so you can check it off your
list!".

PLO Lumumba Describing the Xenophobic Attacks in South Africa Translation

Though it is said that the strong message was posted by a rouge fake
account, many couldn't understand the meaning.

He is what was mentioned,
"The ongoing attacks on foreigners in South Africa (xenophobia) is a
miasma of a deprecated apothesis of a hemorrhaging plutocracy,
cascadinly oozing into a malodorous excresence of mobocracy. With all
termagant ossifying proclivities of a kakistocracy, their knowledgia
centura is enveloped in a paraphlegic crinkum crankum. Therefore, the
lampooning is cest in deja vu, deja vu peret ologomabia"

can you find this in the dictionary? Really!

Here is the translation:

'MIASMA=vapor from decaying organic matter.
hemorrhaging=discharge of blood
PLUTOCRACY=1. the rule or power of wealth or of the wealthy
2. government or state in which the wealthy class rules
3. class or group ruling, or exercising power or influence, byvirtue
of its wealth

CASCADING=1. waterfall
2. anything falling like a waterfall
- verb (used without object)
3. to fall in a cascade
malodorous=smelling bad
MOBOCRACY=1. political control by a mob
2. the mob as a ruling class
TERMAGNANT=1. violent, turbulent, orbrawling woman
2. mythical deity popularly believed in the Middle Ages to be
worshiped by the Muslims and introduced into the morality play as a
violent, overbearing personage in long robes
- adjective
3. violent; turbulent; brawling; shrewish
OSSIFYING=to convert into bone
KAKISTOCRACY=government by the worst persons; a form of government
inwhich the worst persons are in power

Android Tutorial Lesson 8 - Arena

What is the role of Android Market in compatibility?
Devices that are Android compatible may seek to license
the Android Market client software.
This allows them to
become part of the Android app ecosystem, by allowing
users to download developers' apps from a catalog shared
by all compatible devices.
This option isn't available to
devices that aren't compatible.
What kinds of devices can be Android compatible?

The Android software can be ported to a lot of different
kinds of devices, including some on which third-party apps
won't run properly.
The Android Compatibility Definition
Document (CDD) spells out the specific device
configurations that will be considered compatible.
For example, though the Android source code could be
ported to run on a phone that doesn't have a camera, the
CDD requires that in order to be compatible, all phones
must have a camera.
This allows developers to rely on a
consistent set of capabilities when writing their apps.
The CDD will evolve over time to reflect market realities.
For instance, the 1.6 CDD only allows cell phones, but the
2.1 CDD allows devices to omit telephony hardware,
allowing for non-phone devices such as tablet-style music
players to be compatible. As we make these changes, we
will also augment Android Market to allow developers to
retain control over where their apps are available.
To
continue the telephony example, an app that manages SMS
text messages would not be useful on a media player, so
Android Market allows the developer to restrict that app
exclusively to phone devices.
If my device is compatible, does it automatically have
access to Android Market and branding?
Android Market is a service operated by Google. Achieving
compatibility is a prerequisite for obtaining access to the
Android Market software and branding. Device
manufacturers should contact Google to obtain access to
Android Market.
If I am not a manufacturer, how can I get Android Market?
Android Market is only licensed to handset manufacturers
shipping devices.
For questions about specific cases,
contact android-partnerships@google.com .
How can I get access to the Google apps for Android, such
as Maps?
The Google apps for Android, such as YouTube, Google
Maps and Navigation, Gmail, and so on are Google
properties that are not part of Android, and are licensed
separately. Contact android-partnerships@google.com for
inquiries related to those apps.
Is compatibility mandatory?
No. The Android Compatibility Program is optional.
Since
the Android source code is open, anyone can use it to build
any kind of device. However, if a manufacturer wishes to
use the Android name with their product, or wants access
to Android Market, they must first demonstrate that the
device is compatible.
How much does compatibility certification cost?
There is no cost to obtain Android compatibility for a
device.
The Compatibility Test Suite is open-source and
available to anyone to use to test a device.
How long does compatibility take?
The process is automated. The Compatibility Test Suite
generates a report that can be provided to Google to verify
compatibility. Eventually we intend to provide self-service
tools to upload these reports to a public database.
Who determines what will be part of the compatibility
definition?
Since Google is responsible for the overall direction of
Android as a platform and product, Google maintains the
Compatibility Definition Document for each release. We
draft the CDD for a new Android version in consultation
with a number of OEMs, who provide input on its contents.
How long will each Android version be supported for new
devices?
Since Android's code is open-source, we can't prevent
someone from using an old version to launch a device.
Instead, Google chooses not to license the Android Market
client software for use on versions that are considered
obsolete. This allows anyone to continue to ship old
versions of Android, but those devices won't use the
Android name and will exist outside the Android apps
ecosystem, just as if they were non-compatible.
Can a device have a different user interface and still be
compatible?
The Android Compatibility Program focuses on whether a
device can run third-party applications.
The user interface
components shipped with a device (such as home screen,
dialer, color scheme, and so on) does not generally have
much effect on third-party apps. As such, device builders
are free to customize the user interface as much as they
like.
The Compatibility Definition Document does restrict the
degree to which OEMs may alter the system user interface
for areas that do impact third-party apps.

Android Tutorial Lesson 6 - Arena

What is involved in releasing the source code for a new
Android version?
Releasing the source code for a new version of the Android
platform is a significant process. First, the software gets
built into a system image for a device, and put through
various forms of certification, including government
regulatory certification for the regions the phones will be
deployed. It also goes through operator testing. This is an
important phase of the process, since it helps shake out a
lot of software bugs.
Once the release is approved by the regulators and
operators, the manufacturer begins mass producing
devices, and we turn to releasing the source code.
Simultaneous to mass production the Google team kicks
off several efforts to prepare the open source release.
These efforts include final API changes and documentation
(to reflect any changes that were made during qualification
testing, for example), preparing an SDK for the new version,
and launching the platform compatibility information.
Also included is a final legal sign-off to release the code
into open source.
Just as open source contributors are
required to sign a Contributors License Agreement attesting
to their IP ownership of their contribution, Google too must
verify that it is clear to make contributions.
Starting at the time mass production begins, the software
release process usually takes around a month, which often
roughly places source code releases around the same time
that the devices reach users.
How does the AOSP relate to the Android Compatibility
Program?
The Android Open-Source Project maintains the Android
software, and develops new versions. Since it's open-
source, this software can be used for any purpose,
including to ship devices that are not compatible with other
devices based on the same source.
The function of the Android Compatibility Program is to
define a baseline implementation of Android that is
compatible with third-party apps written by developers.
Devices that are "Android compatible" may participate in
the Android ecosystem, including Android Market; devices
that don't meet the compatibility requirements exist outside
that ecosystem.
In other words, the Android Compatibility Program is how
we separate "Android compatible devices" from devices
that merely run derivatives of the source code. We
welcome all uses of the Android source code, but only
Android compatible devices — as defined and tested by the
Android Compatibility Program — may participate in the
Android ecosystem.
How can I contribute to Android?
There are a number of ways you can contribute to Android.
You can report bugs, write apps for Android, or contribute
source code to the Android Open-Source Project.
There are some limits on the kinds of code contributions
we are willing or able to accept. For instance, someone
might want to contribute an alternative application API,
such as a full C++-based environment. We would decline
that contribution, since Android is focused on applications
that run in the Dalvik VM. Alternatively, we won't accept
contributions such as GPL or LGPL libraries that are
incompatible with our licensing goals.
We encourage those interested in contributing source code
to contact us via the AOSP Community page prior to
beginning any work. You can find more information on this
topic at the Getting Involved page.
How do I become an Android committer?
The Android Open Source Project doesn't really have a
notion of a "committer". All contributions — including those
authored by Google employees — go through a web-based
system known as "gerrit" that's part of the Android
engineering process. This system works in tandem with the
git source code management system to cleanly manage
source code contributions.
Once submitted, changes need to be accepted by a
designated Approver. Approvers are typically Google
employees, but the same approvers are responsible for all
submissions, regardless of origin.
You can find more information on this topic at the
Submitting Patches page.
Compatibility
What does "compatibility"mean?
We define an "Android compatible" device as one that can
run any application written by third-party developers using
the Android SDK and NDK. We use this as a filter to
separate devices that can participate in the Android app
ecosystem, and those that cannot. Devices that are
properly compatible can seek approval to use the Android
trademark.
Devices that are not compatible are merely
derived from the Android source code and may not use the
Android trademark.
In other words, compatibility is a prerequisite to participate
in the Android apps ecosystem. Anyone is welcome to use
the Android source code, but if the device isn't compatible,
it's not considered part of the Android ecosystem.

Lesson 4 - How is the Android Software Developed

How is the Android software developed?
Each platform version of Android (such as 1.5, 1.6, and so

on) has a corresponding branch in the open-source tree. At
any given moment, the most recent such branch will be
considered the "current stable" branch version. This
current stable branch is the one that manufacturers port to
their devices. This branch is kept suitable for release at all
times.
Simultaneously,there is also a "current experimental"
branch, which is where speculative contributions, such as
large next-generationfeatures, are developed. Bug fixes
and other contributions can be included in the current
stable branch from the experimental branch as
appropriate.
Finally, Google works on the next version of the Android
platform in tandem with developing a flagship device. This
branch pulls in changes from the experimental and stable
branches as appropriate.
You can find more information on this topic at our
Branches and Releases.
Why are parts of Android developed in private?
It typically takes over a year to bring a device to market,
but of course device manufacturers want to ship the latest
software they can. Developers, meanwhile, don't want to
have to constantly track new versions of the platform when
writing apps. Both groups experience a tension between
shipping products, and not wanting to fall behind.
To address this, some parts of the next version of Android
including the core platform APIs are developed in a private
branch. These APIs constitute the next version of Android.
Our aim is to focus attention on the current stable version
of the Android source code, while we create the next
version of the platform as driven by flagship Android
devices. This allows developers and OEMs to focus on a
single version without having to track unfinished future
work just to keep up. Other parts of the Android system
that aren't related to application compatibility are
developed in the open, however. It's our intention to move
more of these parts to open development over time.
When are source code releases made?
When they are ready. Some parts of Android are developed
in the open, so that source code is always available.
Other
parts are developed first in a private tree, and that source
code is released when the next platform version is ready.
In some releases, core platform APIs will be ready far
enough in advance that we can push the source code out
for an early look in advance of the device's release;
however in others, this isn't possible. In all cases, we
release the platform source when we feel the version has
stabilized enough, and when the development process
permits. Releasing the source code is a fairly complex
process.

What languages does Android support for application
development?
Android applications are written using the Java
programming language.
Describe Android Application Architecture.
Android Application Architecture has the following
components:
• Services – like Network Operation
• Intent - To perform inter-communication between
activities or services
• Resource Externalization- such as strings and graphics
• Notification signaling users - light, sound, icon,
notification, dialog etc.
• Content Providers - They share data between applications
Common Tricky questions
Remember that the GUI layer doesn't request data
directly from the web; data is always loaded from a local
database.
The service layer periodically updates the local
database.

Open Source
What is the Android Open Source Project?
We use the phrase "Android Open Source Project" or
"AOSP" to refer to the people, the processes, and the
source code that make up Android.
The people oversee the project and develop the actual
source code.
The processes refer to the tools and
procedures we use to manage the development of the
software.
The net result is the source code that you can
use to build cell phone and other devices.
Why did we open the Android source code?
Google started the Android project in response to our own
experiences launching mobile apps. We wanted to make
sure that there would always be an open platform available
for carriers, OEMs, and developers to use to make their
innovative ideas a reality.
We also wanted to make sure
that there was no central point of failure, so that no single
industry player could restrict or control the innovations of
any other.
The single most important goal of the Android
Open-Source Project (AOSP) is to make sure that the open-
source Android software is implemented as widely and
compatibly as possible, to everyone's benefit.
You can find more information on this topic at our Project
Philosophy page.
What kind of open-source project is Android?
Google oversees the development of the core Android
open-source platform, and works to create robust
developer and user communities. For the most part the
Android source code is licensed under the permissive
Apache Software License 2.0, rather than a "copyleft"
license.
The main reason for this is because our most
important goal is widespread adoption of the software, and
we believe that the ASL2.0 license best achieves that goal.
You can find more information on this topic at our Project
Philosophy and Licensing pages.
Why is Google in charge of Android?
Launching a software platform is complex. Openness is
vital to the long-term success of a platform, since
openness is required to attract investment from developers
and ensure a level playing field. However, the platform
itself must also be a compelling product to end users.
That's why Google has committed the professional
engineering resources necessary to ensure that Android is
a fully competitive software platform. Google treats the
Android project as a full-scale product development
operation, and strikes the business deals necessary to
make sure that great devices running Android actually
make it to market.
By making sure that Android is a success with end users,
we help ensure the vitality of Android as a platform, and as
an open-source project. After all, who wants the source
code to an unsuccessful product?
Google's goal is to ensure a successful ecosystem around
Android, but no one is required to participate, of course.
We
opened the Android source code so anyone can modify and
distribute the software to meet their own needs.
What is Google's overall strategy for Android product
development?
We focus on releasing great devices into a competitive
marketplace, and then incorporate the innovations and
enhancements we made into the core platform, as the next
version.
In practice, this means that the Android engineering team
typically focuses on a small number of "flagship" devices,
and develops the next version of the Android software to
support those product launches. These flagship devices
absorb much of the product risk and blaze a trail for the
broad OEM community, who follow up with many more
devices that take advantage of the new features.
In this
way, we make sure that the Android platform evolves
according to the actual needs of real-world devices.

Android Tutorial Lesson 3

What is a Theme ?
A set of properties (text size, background color, and so on)
bundled together to define various default display settings.
Android provides a few standard themes, listed in R.style
(starting with "Theme_").
What is an URIs?
Android uses URI strings both for requesting data (e.g., a
list of contacts) and for requesting actions (e.g., opening a
Web page in a browser). Both are valid URI strings, but
have different values. All requests for data must start with
the string "content://". Action strings are valid URIs that
can be handled appropriately by applications on the device;
for example, a URI starting with "http://" will be handled by
the browser.

Can I write code for Android using C/C++?
Yes, but need to use NDK
Android applications are written using the Java
programming language. Android includes a set of core
libraries that provides most of the functionality available in
the core libraries of the Java programming language.
Every Android application runs in its own process, with its
own instance of the Dalvik virtual machine. Dalvik has been
written so that a device can run multiple VMs efficiently.
The Dalvik VM executes files in the Dalvik Executable (.dex)
format which is optimized for minimal memory footprint.
The VM is register-based,and runs classes compiled by a
Java language compiler that have been transformed into
the .dex format by the included "dx" tool.
Android only supports applications written using the Java
programming language at this time.
What is an action?
A description of something that an Intent sender desires.
What is activity?
A single screen in an application, with supporting Java
code.
What is intent?
A class (Intent) describes what a caller desires to do. The
caller sends this intent to Android's intent resolver, which
finds the most suitable activity for the intent. E.g. opening a
PDF file is an intent, and the Adobe Reader is the suitable
activity for this intent.
How is nine-patch image different from a regular bitmap?
It is a resizable bitmap resource that can be used for
backgrounds or other images on the device. The NinePatch
class permits drawing a bitmap in nine sections.
The four
corners are unscaled; the four edges are scaled in one axis,
and the middle is scaled in both axes.
What languages does Android support for application
development?
Android applications are written using the Java
programming language.
What is a resource?
A user-supplied XML, bitmap, or other file, injected into the
application build process, which can later be loaded from
code.
How will you record a phone call in Android? How to get a
handle on Audio Stream for a call in Android?
Permissions.PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS: Allows an
application to monitor, modify, or abort outgoing calls.
What's the difference between file, class and activity in
android?
File - It is a block of arbitrary information, or resource for
storing information. It can be of any type.
Class - Its a compiled form of .Java file . Android finally
used this .class files to produce an executable apk
Activity - An activity is the equivalent of a Frame/Window in
GUI toolkits.
It is not a file or a file type it is just a class
that can be extended in Android for loading UI elements on
view.
What is a Sticky Intent?
sendStickyBroadcast() performs a sendBroadcast (Intent)
that is "sticky," i.e. the Intent you are sending stays around
after the broadcast is complete, so that others can quickly
retrieve that data through the return value of
registerReceiver (BroadcastReceiver, IntentFilter).
In all
other ways, this behaves the same as sendBroadcast
(Intent).
One example of a sticky broadcast sent via the operating
system is ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED. When you call
registerReceiver() for that action -- even with a null
BroadcastReceiver -- you get the Intent that was last
broadcast for that action. Hence, you can use this to find
the state of the battery without necessarily registering for
all future state changes in the battery.
Does Android support the Bluetooth serial port profile?
Yes.
Can an application be started on powerup?
Yes.
How to Remove Desktop icons and Widgets
A. Press and Hold the icon or widget.
The phone will vibrate
and on the bottom of the phone you will see anoption to
remove. While still holding the icon or widget drag it to the
remove button. Once remove turns red drop the item and it
is gone
Describe a real time scenario where android can be used?
Imagine a situation that you are in a country where no one
understands the language you speak and you can not read
or write. However, you have mobile phone with you.
With a mobile phone with android, the Google translator
translates the data of one language into another language
by using XMPP to transmit data.
You can type the message
in English and select the language which is understood by
the citizens of the country in order to reach the message to
the citizens.

Android Words Meanings Lecture 2

What is .dex extension
Android programs are compiled into .dex (Dalvik
Executable) files, which are in turn zipped into a single .apk
file on the device. .dex files can be created by automatically
translating compiled applications written in the Java
programming language

What is an adb ?
Android Debug Bridge, a command-line debugging
application shipped with the SDK. It provides tools to
browse the device, copy tools on the device, and forward
ports for debugging.

What is an Application ?
A collection of one or more activities, services, listeners,
and intent receivers.
An application has a single manifest,
and is compiled into a single .apk file on the device.

What is a Content Provider ?
A class built on ContentProviderthat handles content query
strings of a specific format to return data in a specific
format. See Reading and writing data to a content provider
for information on using content providers.

What is a Dalvik ?
The name of Android's virtual machine. The Dalvik VM is
an interpreter-only virtual machine that executes files in the
Dalvik Executable (.dex) format, a format that is optimized
for efficient storage and memory-mappableexecution.
The
virtual machine is register-based,and it can run classes
compiled by a Java language compiler that have been
transformed into its native format using the included "dx"
tool. The VM runs on top of Posix-compliantoperating
systems, which it relies on for underlying functionality
(such as threading and low level memory management).
The Dalvik core class library is intended to provide a
familiar development base for those used to programming
with Java Standard Edition, but it is geared specifically to
the needs of a small mobile device.

What is an DDMS
Dalvik Debug Monitor Service, a GUI debugging application
shipped with the SDK.
It provides screen capture, log dump,
and process examination capabilities.
What is Drawable?
A compiled visual resource that can be used as a
background, title, or other part of the screen. It is compiled
into an android.graphics.drawable subclass.
What is an Intent?
A class (Intent) that contains several fields describing what
a caller would like to do. The caller sends this intent to
Android's intent resolver, which looks through the intent
filters of all applications to find the activity most suited to
handle this intent. Intent fields include the desired action, a
category, a data string, the MIME type of the data, a
handling class, and other restrictions.

What is an Intent Filter ?
Activities and intent receivers include one or more filters in
their manifest to describe what kinds of intents or
messages they can handle or want to receive. An intent
filter lists a set of requirements, such as data type, action
requested, and URI format, that the Intent or message must
fulfill. For Activities, Android searches for the Activity with
the most closely matching valid match between the Intent
and the activity filter.
For messages, Android will forward a
message to all receivers with matching intent filters.

What is an Intent Receiver?
An application class that listens for messages broadcast by
calling Context.broadcastIntent
What is a Layout resource?
An XML file that describes the layout of an Activity screen.

What is a Manifest ?
An XML file associated with each Application that describes
the various activies, intent filters, services, and other items
that it exposes.

What is a Resource
A user-supplied XML, bitmap, or other file, entered into an
application build process, which can later be loaded from
code. Android can accept resources of many types; see
Resources for a full description. Application-defined
resources should be stored in the res/ subfolders.

What is a Service ?
A class that runs in the background to perform various
persistent actions, such as playing music or monitoring
network activity.

Introducing Android: Courtesy of Hommiez Phone Technicians

This is pretty cool. Learning to develop android apps; Learning how to code.
In every tutorial, we shall be trying to make simple examples.
Thanks to Hommiez Phone Technicians for the project enlightening.

What is Android?

Android is an operating system for mobile devices that

includes middleware and key applications, and uses a
modified version of the Linux kernel.
It was initially
developed by Android Inc..It allows developers to write
managed code in the Java language, controlling the device
via Google-developed Java libraries.....
The Android SDK includes a comprehensive set of
development tools .
These include a debugger, libraries, a
handset emulator (based on QEMU), documentation,
sample code, and tutorials.
Currently supported
development platforms include x86-architecture computers
running Linux (any modern desktop Linux distribution), Mac
OS X 10.4.8 or later, Windows XP or Vista.
Android does not use established Java standards, i.e.
Java
SE and ME.
This prevents compatibility among Java
applications written for those platforms and those for the
Android platform.
Android only reuses the Java language
syntax, but does not provide the full-class libraries and
APIs bundled with Java SE or ME
What is android?
Android is a stack of software for mobile devices which has
Operating System, middleware and some key applications.
The application executes within its own process and its own
instance of Dalvik Virtual Machine.
Many Virtual Machines
run efficiently by a DVM device.
DVM executes Java
language?s byte code which later transforms into .dex
format files.
What are the advantages of Android?
The following are the advantages of Android:
* The customer will be benefited from wide range of mobile
applications to choose, since the monopoly of wireless
carriers like AT&T and Orange will be broken by Google
Android.
* Features like weather details, live RSS feeds, opening
screen, icon on the opening screen can be customized
* Innovative products like the location-aware services,
location of a nearby convenience store etc., are some of
the additive facilities in Android.
Components can be reused and replaced by the application
framework.
*Optimized DVM for mobile devices
*SQLite enables to store the data in a structured manner.
*Supports GSM telephone and Bluetooth, WiFi, 3G and
EDGE technologies
*The development is a combination of a device emulator,
debugging tools, memory profiling and plug-in for Eclipse
IDE.
Features of Android
Application framework enabling reuse and replacement
of components
Dalvik virtual machine optimized for mobile devices
Integrated browser based on the open source WebKit
engine
Optimized graphics powered by a custom 2D graphics
library; 3D graphics based on the OpenGL ES 1.0
specification (hardware acceleration optional)
SQLite for structured data storage
Media support for common audio, video, and still image
formats (MPEG4, H.264, MP3, AAC, AMR, JPG, PNG, GIF)
GSM Telephony (hardware dependent)
Bluetooth, EDGE, 3G, and WiFi (hardware dependent)
Camera, GPS, compass, and accelerometer (hardware
dependent)
Rich development environment including a device
emulator, tools for debugging, memory and performance
profiling, and a plugin for the Eclipse IDE.
Explain about the exceptions of Android?
The following are the exceptions that are supported by
Android
* InflateException :
When an error conditions are occurred,
this exception is thrown
* Surface.OutOfResourceException:
When a surface is not
created or resized, this exception is thrown
* SurfaceHolder.BadSurfaceTypeException: This exception
is thrown from the lockCanvas() method, when invoked on
a Surface whose is SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS
* WindowManager.BadTokenException:
This exception is
thrown at the time of trying to add view an invalid
WindowManager.LayoutParamstoken.
Describe the APK format.
The APK file is compressed the AndroidManifest.xml file,
application code (.dex files), resource files, and other files.
A project is compiled into a single .apk file.
What is .apk extension?
The extension for an Android package file, which typically
contains all of the files related to a single Android
application.
The file itself is a compressed collection of an
AndroidManifest.xml file, application code (.dex files),
resource files, and other files. A project is compiled into a
single .apk file.

History does Not Define our Destiny

History does Not Define our Destiny, it is Determined by the Way we
Live on Present.

The biggest thief in life is time, so we should cherish the moment we
live now, and everything we do at this time can define our future
destiny.
How we conduct ourselves in the past can determine how well we
deserved for credit by others and this can be a good help for us.
But everyone can change their life from good to evil and conversely,
intelligence often comes with the years of experiences .
How we conduct ourselves at present become what we are today, there is
always a pros and cons to achieve most of our goals.
We are now interesting in how we act for the society, and how well we
are going, the past has given us many lessons into our mind to change
the life.
The acceptance of ourselves into the social life is very important for
us to make progression by maintaining good relationships and meet new
contacts.
Friendship and trust is more important than money, because everything
else will be only difficult for us when we are alone.
Our destiny will not be determined by watching the television at home
all days, by doing so, we can't discover something new, because in the
media we will just seeing more gossip and trouble than fun, this will
not help for our future developments.
Be wise to go out and active among the people, our eyes and ears is
the main weapon we can use to discover something new.
Also, we will be more inspired if anything arouses our interest, and
it's possible for us to generate any new ideas from it.
Expand our capabilities synergisticallyand interactive displays can
only give results that suits for everyone, and can be served
accordingly in a social way.
The fraternities and common understanding within each other is very
important for a long-term relationship and it is a forward looking
option for both sides.
Well communicated and treat each other with friendly attitude in a
fair manner is a very important factor for determining our fate and
future prospects.
Our history can contribute to our future, but the way we live and
behave at present is the things which will determines our destiny.

9 Reasons to realize one’s own maximum potential and possibilities

Credit: TemTi Sahu Ra

1. Because you're already trying to and don't even realize it– From

Food to money, from sex to intoxicants, all the things that comfort us
or we're addicted to, we only do for one reason – A desire to find a
peace that promotes growth within ourselves. This can be done
constructively withHolistic Livingwhich leads to balanced growth or
destructively(addiction, over-indulgence)which can lead to sharp
growth, inevitably followed by an even sharper decline!

2. Are you better off if you don't? –This is simple. Aim for
self-actualization, uncover your true self and be everything you are
supposed to be health wise, security wise, spiritually wise,
etc.OR…Forget self-actualizing and stay right where you currently are
for the rest of your LIFE!

3. Self-actualization is the purpose of Culture –Culture means
to'cultivate.'The focus of the cultivation is YOU, assisted by
following a well-trodden path of worthy morals, disciplines,
traditions, self-awareness and distinctions that have been designed to
bring out the best and ultimate in yourself. Now ask this
question…what is the purpose of your present culture and what is it
leading you to?

4. Times are changing –With an uncertain economy and the continual
disappearance of relatively long term job prospects, more individuals
are turning to their own abilities and discovering ways of motivating
and supporting themselves. This cannot be done successfully without
the process of self-actualization taking place on some level.

5. Because you accept the existence of a Supreme entity
–Acknowledgement of a Supremeanythingshould come with a desire to
achieve oneness or peace with that entity as part of your
self-actualizing process. But be warned: No'Supreme'anything can be
truly known without first knowing yourself, for without truly knowing
yourself you setup the greater potential for a life of misguidance,
misjudgment and delusion.

6. It is the way you are designed –From the 12 major systems of your
body to every last of one of your 100 trillion cells; they are all
doing one thing: Thriving to fulfill and actualize their purpose.
Without this process you cannot survive! Your Mind also needs to be
song the same thing in order to fulfill and actualize YOUR true
purpose. Without this happening you will always be mentally and
spiritually adrift.

7. Because you look up to or admire somebody –Whether it's a Mentor,
Idol, teacher, athlete or celebrity it the same thing: You see
something in them you admire and would take for yourself. That is your
cue to start developing your own talent and begin your process of
Self-actualization!

8.Going against Nature is painful –Every cell in your body as
previously mentioned is instructed by your DNA to self-actualize, yet
the impressionable mind can actually interfere with that imperative
just to feed poison (intoxicants, foods, toxic relationships, etc.) to
the body through a negative and uninformed culture or lifestyle.
Whether it's your overweight body, your underpaying job or your
dis-satisfactory personal relationships; accepting these things and
similar as the norm will kill your self-actualization efforts and
bring about an ongoing pain that most people shockingly accept and
call'life'or as we like to say,"the chronic imbalance that is a
pre-cursor to dis-ease."

9. Because gender exists –Everything in Nature has a dual or
partnering element that it must combine with in some way to become
whole and thereby self-actualized; i.e. Men cannot fulfill the
ultimate masculine role of Fatherhood without combing with a Female
counterpart.Achieving that union perpetuates the order of a Divine
singularity or God, that gives birth to a Masculine and Feminine
duality, then that duality ultimately has to pair up as a singularity
for another birth to take place; such is the order of Nature.

Most of us externally identify ourselves as either male or female.
This let's us know that we are never truly whole, healed or creative
until we combine in some way with our opposite aspecting the proper
way.However, no fulfilling external union can exist without the
correct uniting and balancing of our own internal duality of masculine
& feminine energies;a key tenet of all true religions.It is the
combining of these internal energies which enable a special type of
birth…the birth of the actualized YOU!

Bless!

INFJ COMPLEX PERSONALITY TYPE TRAITS

Traits of an INFJ,
INFJ types are complex individuals. Having an over abundance of skills
is not uncommon. Quick learners who tend to pick up new skills with
ease as long as they are comfortable in their environment. All hold a
strong interest in human behavior and will spend much of their time
observing others. When talking to others it is not uncommon for the

INFJ to mimic body language and speech patterns of the person they are
talking to, in order to gain a deeper understanding and bond with that
individual. This is done to get right on board with what is being
said, felt, projected, and implied. This active engagement of others
is highly developed in the INFJ. They can and do adapt to their
environment based on the people around them at the time.
INFJ are strongly drawn to mystery and things that are very hard to
understand or explain. They can be intensely drawn into any subject.
Will often become actively obsessed with studding and experiencing a
new thing. Only to discover they are bored with the subject after a
few months and suddenly need to move on to the next interesting thing.
Phasing one interest out and a new interest in. Often never to go back
to past interest, unless it can be utilized as a tool for future
interests. The one major exception to this rule is people, INFJ's seem
to be utterly fascinated with human behavior and make analyzing the
motives and behaviors of others a life long practice.
Much of their metaphoric writing and speech is used in combination
with sarcasm and humor, as a way to encrypt their deeper meanings.
They are one of the only personality types that will intentionally
express themselves in a way that can be misunderstood. This is one of
the most common ways they will use to vent their frustrations or mock
others (if they are really unhappy with them).
INFJ's tend to be most comfortable verbally articulating themselves
when they can be one on one with others. They are problem solvers and
so when they express themselves it is often done with a deeper meaning
attached. This also makes them somewhat awkward at small talk in most
situations because there is often no depth involved. When they write,
they express themselves best when a specific person is kept in mind.
They can be extremely metaphoric with their speech and writing.
Developed writers tend to have a visually expressive writing style
that cuts right to the point. In fact INFJ's are all very good at
summarizing large amounts of data into one or two conclusive
sentences. Making them experts at expressing things that other types
are often at a loss of words to express.
INFJ's are driven to compassion. They want to give genuine help to
anyone in need, as long as the people in need are actively trying to
improve themselves. Their favorite way to help others is though advice
and encouragement. The benefit of having an INFJ for a friend is that
they will give you advice freely. Meaning they will not hold it
against you if you do not take their advice.

How Does it Feel Being in a Relationship with an ENFP

I've written and rewritten my thoughts to you several times already

this evening.... your words truly touched me and I feel so bad for the

pain you are clearly suffering. Being in a relationship with an ENFP,

it struck me how easily this could have been him. I think of how many

times I came close to bolting, even began to... it is difficult at

times to have such a powerful connection to another human being -

especially one that while on one level seems to understand you like no

other, but in other ways you feel can never truly understand you... I

think at times he reads me better and knows me better than I know

myself. Then there are times I think, gosh you just don't get it...

you will never "get" the depth of an INFJ - we are just wired so

differently. 10 or even 5 years ago I never could have done this

relationship. I simply wasn't secure enough in myself. Oh sure it's

everything I would have told myself I wanted, but in the end, I'd have

found a million reasons to go. Perhaps she just wasn't ready. Perhaps

it's nothing you did, nothing she did... she just needed time to grow.

You may never know for sure. I have learned to look at life this

way... after much trauma, heartbreak, betrayal and chaos in my life, I

have taken the gifts that every one of these things have given me -

strength, courage, the will to go on AND every single time, I have

come to see each set back as something that set me on the path to

incredible happiness. Sometimes it's just really hard to see. Hang in

there.

What Can ENFP Guy Tell INFJ Girl - Short Prayer

Dear INFJ-Girl,

I'm writing this because it's been months and my heart has never

healed from you leaving. I wish I understood your reasons, I wish I

knew what made you get up and remove yourself from our lives together

completely. You shut the door and left without giving me as much as a

reason, a clue as to what you thought I did, what I was doing wrong.

Why I wasn't enough.

You broke my heart.

I was always faithful and honest to you. I was the one who always told

you to always tell the truth. Always speak the truth even if your

voice shakes. I believed in you, I understood you and I loved you -

more than you could for yourself. I saw your complexity and I knew how

deep your mind went when it wandered.

I loved you with more than just my heart. You were my soul. You were

my life, my love, my plan, my everything. Our life was a new adventure

every day and I honestly truly thought we were happy and had it all.

We were going to save the world together. You and me.

I was going to ask you to marry me. I wanted you to be the mother of

my children because I thought you were so strong. The perfect partner.

My soulmate. My friend and partner for life.

…but you left me. You never saw the pain in my heart that it caused.

My smile was not a sign of happiness, my smile was a symbol of courage

when everything collapsed.

I never hid anything from you except my plan for our lives together.

It was a beautiful plan.

My soul is losing love like a heart loses blood after getting cut open.

I need to find peace.

I was going to propose to you this last weekend. What would have been

the anniversary of us meeting. A celebration of us and everything we

had been through together.

It reminded me of how I waited for you on Valentine's day. I

remembered how I felt when I threw the flowers away that you never

picked up, weeks later. How empty our bed felt. How empty I felt.

For months after you left, I would have gladly opened my arms to you

to have you back. And you knew it.

It killed me to know you moved on so quickly, to find a new guy, a

replacement. It's been months and I can't even maintain a conversation

with a new girl. I don't want to. They aren't't you.

But betrayal is something I might be able to forgive but I can not

endure the humiliation it brings.

I don't blame you. I blame myself for allowing my heart to love

someone so fully.

I'm writing this letter for closure. I need to let this go. Even if

you yourself never read this I need to heal and I can only do that by

this attempted atonement.

Maybe I should have held on tighter? Maybe there was nothing I could

have done to make you stay? Maybe I was too much? Maybe I wasn't

enlightened? Maybe there was always someone else? Maybe you always

knew I wasn't right? Maybe I was right and you were scared?

I truly wish I knew why I came home one day and you weren't there anymore…

How To Become A Self-published Author For Free

Are you someone who likes to read and write?
Well, Books are the only physical possessions you can have an
emotional attachment to. You would give up your computer and the
internet before you given up books.
You can listen to a lot of audiobooks right now and then when
working! You will like it. But nothing beats a real book, all your
senses would love it.

One of the MOST favorite things about your nature is the absolute need
and desire to lose myself in a book.

Yes! But what about writing?
Calm down, you are actually the type that is most likely to be a
published author.
With the current Situation in our continent Africa, there is much need
to expand knowledge.
There should be no exception for there is plenty of information to
exhibit and exhaust. The future needs to view information freshly and
have it delivered to them rightly.
Okay, if you have begun your writing journey, we appreciate.

Great, we will also like to here from you, you can contact o the
comment section.

Thank you! One of my goals is to become a published author.

Causes And Remedies To The Recent Afrophobic Cases in South Africa

The number 1 game in South Africa is avoidance and Apartheid beat them
hands down.
Somehow Apartheid taught black South Africans are better than the rest
of Africa.
It taught them they are better Negroes and hence explained the recent
Afro phobic cases we see.
The biggest thing than the white owned media and education system in
South Africa did to entrench this isolationist behavior from black
South Africa is by clearly distorting the history of the independence
of that country.
Firstly they were taught it was Nelson Mandela who single handedly
liberated South Africa and he is the only man who made sacrifices for
that country's liberation.
Hence you see other heroes of South Africa's independence struggle
have been separated from the struggle itself. Robert Sobukwe and the
Steve Biko's come to mind.
Secondly and most importantly South Africans are never taught how
their brothers and sisters from across the continent aided in the
liberation of that country.
The sole reason why the front line states where formed was to fight
Apartheid, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique, Angola made a lot of
sacrifices in the fight against the Boers.
Mozambique was plunged into an Apartheid sponsored civil war which
resulted in the death of thousands of Mozambicans in the name of
destabilizing Mozambique which was giving help to the ANC.
This country made so much sacrifices that at the hands of Apartheid
they lost their first black President in Samora Machel.
Same with Angola,they had to endure an Aphatheid onslaught to the
extent MPLA almost lost Luanda to the Boers.
They also had to endure another Aphatheid sponsored civil war.
Zimbabweans where killed in large numbers due to their support for ANC
combatants..Many were parcel bombed by Aphatheid and SA also sponsored
dissident to destabilise the country.
Basically it was the pressure from the OAU and the front line states
that forced the Boers to surrender political power to black people but
is that the narrative taught in South African schools and media?
No they are taught its because of FW De Klerk's pity and
'selflessness' that he gave them independence hence Mandela had the
audacity to receive a Nobel Prize by his side.
They are taught it was pressure from New Zealand when they protested
against the Springboks that SA considered giving them independence.
Nothing at all is taught about how Gaddafi,yes the same Gaddafi that
South Africa voted to be bombed and killed at the Security council,who
gave financial sponsorship to ANC to the extent that on Mandela's
first state visit he went to Libya to thank Gaddafi.
Many South African ANC officials where sheltered and looked after by
fellow African countries as they took risk to help their SA brothers.
Now with all these sacrifices,somewhich i havent mentioned why is it
the average black South African wants to detatch themselves from the
continent that paid in blood of its brothers and sisters to give SA
its independence?
Its simple,these black South Africans have been taught through
ommission to disregard their brothers and sisters and even look at
them with disdain.
On the other hand they where taught to view the white man as a partner
in a new 'Rainbow Nation', and to view white foreigners as good people
who have their best interests at heart.
The very same British, Israeli and Americans who supported the
Aphatheid regime and refused to sanction Aphatheid South Africa, now
they are friends who should be protected and not be harmed in any way
whilst Blacks are considered lice and cockroaches.
This is the mentality that prevails in SA hence i said SA is now even
a Security Threat for the whole of Africa especially considering their
role in the Libya saga,Ivory Coast and even Outside of Africa in
Syria.
But the average black South African will deny and actually claim to be
a Pan Africanist and yet if they truly honoured the continent they
wouldn't even think for a second to beat up a fellow African.

What is Illuminati?

It's actually a secret group who believe on Look to the light. Follow
the light. Learn from the light.

History:
'The Illuminati trace their origins back thousands of years to their
conception as a result of the genetic inbreeding between a reptilian
extraterrestrial race and humanity. Their modern origin, however,
traces back to the 1760s and a man named Adam Weishaupt, who defected
from the Catholic church and organized the Illuminati, financed by the
International Bankers. Since then, according to the Illuminati, their
top goal has been to achieve a "one world government" and to subjugate
all religions and governments in the process. The Illuminati thus
attribute all wars since the French Revolution as having been fomented
by them in their pursuit of their goals.'

Why Spirituality Has Imbalances And Taboos

From time to time have found this true and making alot of sence.

'Nature doesn't't recognize Good and Evil. Nature only recognizes
balance and imbalance.' - Walter Bishop

This is such an important distinction between nature-based
spirituality and religion. religion has "sins",
"abominations","haram", etc.

Spirituality has imbalances and taboos for individuals, but rarely
universal "sins" that are wrong for everyone.
Following the model of nature, giving reverence to nature, holding
nature and natural energies (wind, water, fire, etc.) as embodiments
or manifestations of deities and entities - as many spiritualities
believe - positions the concept of "good" and "bad" from religion as
simply as absurd.

Even within western philosophy, the concept of "good and evil" have
long been logically destroyed as nonsense.

OPEN LETTER TO ALL BLACK FATHERS 2015

The Real Afrikan Truth
OPEN LETTER TO ALL BLACK FATHERS:
What You Must Do Now To Save Your Children
This is an open letter and national call to action to all black
fathers to save black youths by helping them become successful
business owners.
There is no blueprint to show anyone how to raise a black child but
first all black fathers need to be a part of their child's life.
We can no longer tell our youths to go to school and get a job. Due to
the failing economy, the whole paradigm has now shifted and that's why
schools are serving as feeder systems into prisons.
We know that black males are the last hired and first fired in the
workplace simply because when companies hire a black female, they have
hired a minority who is:
1) a female, and
2) an African American.
So the company gets two quotas when they hire black females instead of
black males.
So it's going to be extremely hard for black males to hold on to many
jobs in America.
