Use Andy to emulate Android on your desktop - CNET
Use Andy to emulate Android on your desktop - CNET: There are lots of great reasons to use an Android emulator. Perhaps you're thinking of ditching your iPhone in favor of, say, a Google Nexus, but want to test-drive Android first. Or maybe there's an app that would be convenient to run on your PC, like Messaging or WhatsApp. Heck, maybe you just want to enjoy Clash of Clans on a larger screen.
Whatever your plans, Andy should be able to accommodate them. Unlike BlueStacks, which merely runs Android apps, this free utility gives you a fully operable Android experience on a Windows or Mac system, and can even sync with your existing Android device.

Camera Mouse
About / Camera Mouse: Camera Mouse is a free program that allows you to control the mouse pointer on a Windows computer just by moving your head. Clicking can be done by making the mouse pointer dwell over a spot on the screen (after first turning Clicking on in Settings).
The program was developed at Boston College to help people with
disabilities use the computer. The main audience for this program is
people who do not have reliable control of a hand but who can move their
head. People with Cerebral Palsy, Spinal Muscular Atrophy, ALS,
Multiple Sclerosis, Traumatic Brain Injury, various neurological
disorders use this program and its predecessors to run all types of
computer software.
Camera Mouse works as a mouse replacement system for Windows
computers so it should work with just about any application program. For
example people use Camera Mouse with entertainment programs, education
programs, communication programs, web browsers, and so on. (See the Downloads page for some of the programs and websites that we have used with Camera Mouse.)
Camera Mouse works best with application programs that require only a
mouse and a left click and that do not have tiny targets. It's easier to
use Camera Mouse with application programs that do not require extreme
accuracy.
What equipment is required? A Windows 8, 7,
Vista, or XP computer and a standard USB webcam (or a video camera built
into a notebook computer or tablet). We do our development work with a Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 or a Microsoft LifeCam Studio HD. Camera Mouse works with other commercial USB webcams as well.

3 Dangers Of Logging On To Public Wi-Fi
3 Dangers Of Logging On To Public Wi-Fi: You’ve heard that you shouldn’t open PayPal, your bank account and possibly even your email while using public WiFi. But what are the actual risks?

Boy Scouts of America v. Dale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Boy Scouts of America v. Dale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Boy Scouts of America et al. v. Dale, 530 U.S. 640 (2000), was a landmark case of the Supreme Court of the United States decided on June 28, 2000, that held that the constitutional right to freedom of association allows a private organization like the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) to exclude a person from membership when "the presence of that person affects in a significant way the group's ability to advocate public or private viewpoints."[1] In a five to four decision, the Supreme Court ruled that opposition to homosexuality is part of BSA's "expressive message" and that allowing homosexuals as adult leaders would interfere with that message.[2] It reversed a decision of the New Jersey Supreme Court that had determined that New Jersey's public accommodations law required the BSA to readmit assistant Scoutmaster James Dale, who had made his homosexuality public and whom the BSA had expelled from the organization.
