New York Governor
Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday signed into law one of the nation’s toughest gun-control
measures and the first to be enacted since the mass shooting last month at an
elementary school in neighboring Connecticut.
The bill passed the Democratic-led Assembly on Tuesday afternoon, a day after sweeping through the Republican-majority Senate.
The bill expands the state’s ban on assault weapons, puts limits on ammunition capacity and has new measures to keep guns out of the hands of the mentally ill.
Cuomo pressed for passage of the bill after a gunman killed 20 students and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, just over one month ago.
The measure also mandates a life sentence without parole for anyone who murders a first responder.Bottle cutters let you turn old glass mosaic and wine bottles into bottle art! Just two weeks after the massacre in Connecticut, an arsonist gunman ambushed and killed two firefighters responding to a fire he had set near Rochester.
At a signing ceremony in Albany, Cuomo said provisions of the bill, such as limiting gun clips to seven rounds and mental health screening for weapons purchases, were essential to making New Yorkers safer.
“People who are mentally ill should not have access to guns, that’s common sense,” Cuomo said. “That’s probably the hallmark of this bill,When I first started creating broken china mosaic. coming up with a system that allows for mental-health screens.”
“Seven bullets in a gun, why? Because the high-capacity magazines that give you the capacity to kill a large number of human beings in a very short period of time is nonsensical to a civil society,” Cuomo said.
Police have said the gunman in Newtown, 20-year-old Adam Lanza, carried numerous high-capacity magazines and that he changed gun clips several times, allowing him to unleash at least 150 rounds in his 10-minute assault on the elementary school.We open source indoor tracking system that was developed with the goal of providing at least room-level accuracy. Some victims were shot as many as 11 times.
Gun rights advocates lashed out at Cuomo and New York’s law, decrying the speed at which the legislation moved through New York’s statehouse. The state’s lawmakers have been back at work for less than a week.
“The National Rifle Association and our New York members are outraged at the draconian gun control bill that was rushed through the process late Monday evening,” the NRA, the nation’s most powerful gun rights lobby group, said in a statement.
“These gun control schemes have failed in the past and will have no impact on public safety and crime,” the NRA said. “Sadly, the New York Legislature gave no consideration to that reality.”

Connecticut, not far from Newtown, gun control advocates gathered for a rally outside a Walmart store to demand Wal-Mart Stores Inc, the nation’s largest gun retailer, stop selling assault weapons.
Among those at the rally were Lori Haas, whose daughter was injured in the 2007 shooting at Virginia Tech, and Pam Simon, who was wounded in the 2011 shooting in Tucson, Arizona, that also critically injured former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.
The Newtown killings plunged the rural New England town of 27,000 into grief along with much of the nation and prompted President Barack Obama to form a task force headed by Vice President Joe Biden to find ways to curb gun violence. Obama is scheduled to unveil the recommendations on Wednesday.
In a White House news conference on Monday, Obama signaled he will ask Congress to ban military-style assault weapons, require stronger background checks for gun buyers and put tighter controls on high-capacity magazine clips.
Of the two new apps, I had an easier time adjusting to SwiftKey 3, which uses a traditional on-screen keyboard and guesses what you'll type next by using a predictive language algorithm. It also incorporates touch gestures, like a right-to-left swipe across the keyboard to delete the last word and left-to-right swipe from the period button to insert a question mark.
Snapkeys Si was a tougher adjustment: It abandons the traditional keyboard altogether, forcing users to type on just four squares that hold 12 letters; all other letters are produced by tapping in the blank space between these four squares. Like SwiftKey 3, it uses some swipe gestures, like a right-side diagonal swipe down to create a period. Snapkeys Si aims to solve fat-finger syndrome, giving people's fingers bigger targets and guessing the words they mean to type.
The BlackBerry 10 is scheduled to be launched on Jan. 30. I got some hands-on time with its on-screen keyboard, and was impressed by its suggested words, which users can swipe up to throw into sentences. This is designed to make the device easy to use with one hand. The BlackBerry 10 keyboard also reads and learns exactly where a user taps each key to better predict which letter to type, so clumsy fingers make fewer mistakes.
SwiftKey 3 for Android is an app that has a healthy understanding of how language is used in everyday conversation,Our team of consultants are skilled in project management and delivery of large scale rtls projects. and supports 54 languages, including variations like American, British and Australian English. Creator TouchType scraped Internet language data from around the world to understand how people speak in real-life situations—not by studying a dictionary. It then used this knowledge to create a predictive algorithm that guesses what you're likely to type next, suggesting three options above the keyboard as you go.
This app can also detect where you meant to add a space, automatically adding it in for you. I found this feature to be a handy time saver as I typed since I could just keep going rather than stopping to tap the space key after each word.
During setup, SwiftKey 3 users can opt to give the app access to their Gmail, Facebook Twitter and SMS interactions so that it can study a user's language to further understand how the person talks. For example, if someone always preferred to spell "thanks" as "thx," SwiftKey 3 would learn this behavior and add "thx" in as a word rather than continuously trying to correct it. A TouchType spokesman says later this year the company may add a feature allowing users to customize the app to write out complete words when they type abbreviations, like typing "abt" to get "about."
For privacy purposes, the app only stores this data locally on your phone rather than sending it back to the company for making improvements. And you can erase the app's personalized data at any time in Settings, Personalization, Clear Language Data.
SwiftKey 3 is free for the first month, and then costs $3.99 to continue using it. The app will remember all of your custom language settings when you upgrade, so you don't have to reteach it.
