Q: How to split data in oracle by yearwise select PAY_COMP_AMT,EMPLOYEE_HKEY,trunc(sysdate, 'YEAR') begin_year
     , add_months(trunc(Active_To_Date, 'YEAR'), 12)-12/31/60/60 last_second_year
from table_name;

The above query is giving the current year and second last year.Actually, I want to display the rows by year.
Any suggestions will be helpful !

A: I suppose you want to display only the year part of a date column.
So , use to_char(Active_To_Date,'yyyy'), and remove the part with add_months() function , and implementing an aggregation by Employee and Year such as sum,  you can display your data for each year on seperate rows :
select Employee_Hkey, to_char(Active_To_Date,'yyyy') as "Year",
       sum(nvl(Pay_Comp_Amt,0)) as Pay_Comp_Amt
  from table_name
 group by to_char(Active_To_Date,'yyyy'),Employee_Hkey
 order by "Year",Employee_Hkey;

Toronto's Snowblink are the duo of Daniela Gesundheit (Bruce Peninsula) and Dan Goldman. At times though, their impressive line-up has boasted members of MGMT, Dirty Projectors, and Keepaway, among others.
On February 15th they will release their debut record Long Live.
If that's not enough to entice you, get a load of the elegant track "Ambergris".

What About The Workers? By Trevor Plumbly
Labour pains
I've always voted Labour, partially due to my background, but mainly because its basic aims seem more laudable than those of their Tory counterparts. Now, sadly, that political divide isn't so sharply drawn. But these days it seems no-one with a political pulse wants to enter the fray with any warlike intentions; it's ever been thus, but the buggers are a bit more cunning now. Left or right isn't a comfortable enough place for today's breed, it's probably too close to the firing line. The coveted position these days is 'the centre'; this is not precisely on the fence, that's reserved for minor parties, but slightly to the left or right of it, depending on one's political leanings, is the place to be. It's sad really because this quest for a lukewarm platform has robbed us of gutsy orators, and we're left with milquetoast mumblers and mild mannered academics.
Armani overalls
It must be tough to rant about the plight of the workers when they don't have much of a plight. Most of the hurdles of the past seemed to have been cleared in recent years and, since union pressure is the cause of a great deal of the changes rather than political will, Labour appears hard pressed to find an emotional button to push. It's simply got too intellectual for its own good. It's just not a contest any more. Time was the two leaders would volley insults, real gems like 'he's just a shiver looking for a spine to run up!'; but now it's too civilised to be even entertaining. Two well educated gents playing polite ping-pong with words rather than the verbal slug fest of old. Maybe the 'have-nots' and the 'haves' have finally discovered that they've all got enough and as a result elect politicians that reflect their comfort zone.
The ship of state…
Remains unrocked, once again it was ever thus, and indeed it will remain that way until some form of stimulant is injected into a system, hidebound by superfluous tradition and protectionism. Why bother for instance, with question time in parliament? This once important opportunity for opposition members to interrogate government ministers has become peppered with smarmy nepotism, government backbenchers pop up to ask their own ministers patsy questions and we get what virtually amounts to an election speech in reply. There's also been a sharp rise in feigned sensitivity: 'I take offence at that comment Mr. Speaker', is not quite the same as 'Jimmy Brown pulled my pigtail', but sadly it sometimes gets close. Surely the Westminster system has run its course and relatively young countries should look towards creating a more efficient form of governance. It seems obvious that, as with the law, the more legislation you create, the more people you need to pay to enforce it and, worse, the harder it is for ordinary people to feel part of it. We've been cajoled into complacency and as a result the veneer of charisma, inter-party 'accommodation' and the media sound bite have become the new reality.

4J Studios hopes that it will be out by next week.
Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition might've had a year chock full of updates to keep console fans busy, but now it's Minecraft: PS3 Edition's turn. 4J Studios has released their latest patch notes for the version.
Fix for issue in multiplayer/split screen which could cause save file corruption.
Fix for being unable to join games at times ("The host has exited the game" message incorrectly being displayed).
Fix for split screen crash on adding a player when language is Russian.
Fix for issue causing "No DLC offers available" message when converting trial to full version.
Fix for selected item text not fading off screen if a menu is opened when it's visible.
PS3 Edition has certainly been received well by the PlayStation community, as 4J Studios has been very good with keeping fans coming back with more game content. What sort of PC content do you want to see come to the console versions' next patch?

TESLA COIL CONSTRUCTION DIARY
I first found out about tesla coils when I was about twelve or thirteen. I was reading a book about some guys who built the early mainframe computers back in the 60s. Of one of the characters, the book said, he came from an eccentric family, the kind who would more probably be "gathered around a Tesla coil than a television" of an evening. I didn't know what a Tesla coil was, but the fact that it was more fun than TV stuck in my mind. Eventually I went to university where I got unlimited internet access. One day, must've been about four years ago, I got a notion to type "Tesla coil" into a search engine. What I found was incredible. It wasn't so much the big guns like Greg Leyh's Electrum, or the Tesla Technology 13M, though they were certainly impressive. Rather, it was the sheer enthusiasm and have-a-go spirit of the average Tesla coiler. The pictures told the story: In living rooms and garages across the world, bolts of blue lightning were shooting forth from inflatable pool toys, pieces of PVC drain pipe, timber, toilet ballcocks, microwave oven parts, and beer bottles immersed in buckets of brine. White-hot discharges seared through apartment ceilings and set fire to furniture on the floor above. In a back lot somewhere in Texas, a man cowered under a ladder wrapped in chicken-wire while his "friend" unleashed a 13-kilowatt electrical storm on him. And my personal favourite: With its bank of industrial triodes glowing furiously, a large vacuum-tube coil filled its creator's hallway to the ceiling with a sheet of sparkling blue-golden flame. Yep! Tesla coils were definitely more fun than TV.
IT BEGAN WITH A BZZZPPP…
About a year after that, I was visiting a friend who was into electronics and I mentioned that I wanted to build a TC. He went into his garage and came back with a big metal box with a lightning flash on the lid. "You can borrow my neon sign transformer… Don't burn it out…" Yikes! When I got home, I had to "test" that transformer. I took it down to the basement, where I rigged up a Jacob's Ladder from two bits of metal rod gripped between bits of wood in a vice. I attached the H.T. wires and threw the switch. Bzzzpppp… bzzzppppp… OK it appears to be functional. Whoa, the wood is on fire! Satisfied, I put the transformer on a shelf where it lay for ages. In fact I moved into a tiny apartment and lost the workshop facilities.
THE SECONDARY
It was now one year since I got my transformer, and still no sign of a tesla coil. I had forgotten about the whole business. Then, in the university library I found a biography of Tesla. Reading that got me determined again. I decided I would tackle the most difficult part first: the secondary coil. I checked out other people's coils on the internet, and subscribed to the tesla coil mailing list, to pick up some ideas. It seemed the important thing was to get the secondary the proper size, determined by the power input. Too small, and it would break down and burn up. Too big, and the sparks would look wussy. I had a 10kV/25mA neon sign transformer, which I reckoned would be good for about 200-250 watts. Most folk were using a secondary coil about 15"-18" tall at that power level. The recommended aspect ratio was about 3 or 4:1. So I was looking for a tube 18" long, about 5" diameter, and made of some RF-friendly insulating material. I managed to "find" a giant plexiglass tube that was pretty much ideal for the job. If anything it was a bit too tall and thin (20" x 3.5") but hey, room for expansion!
Now I had the tube, there was just the matter of getting thousands of turns of really thin wire onto it. 800 to 1200 was the recommended number. I calculated the right thickness of wire to give about 1000 turns, and bought a reel of that and some "Insulating Varnish". I made some wooden end cheeks to hold the tube, and put a length of threaded rod through the whole lot to hold it together. One end of the rod I chucked into a small cordless drill, the other I put through a hole in an angle iron bolted to the bench. Here I made my first mistake. I thought I would be clever and coat the tube in varnish first, then wind the wire on while the varnish was still tacky. That way, I figured, the wire would be totally encased in varnish for best insulation. The spinning tube splattered varnish everywhere, and once the wire was wound on, it stuck and couldn't be undone if I made a mistake. By the time I was finished I was covered in varnish and the secondary looked like it had been wound by the banjo-playing kid from Deliverance. To add the finishing touch, I dropped the tube and cracked it.
THE TOPLOAD
The coil and transformer lay around for another year gathering dust, while I worked on other projects, like uni stuff, and trying to find a drummer for my band. So it stayed until last month, when the band split, and the lab work at uni finished. While writing up my thesis I researched the beginnings of electrical power transmission. The first ever AC power line was between Niagara Falls and Buffalo, and it was designed by… Nikola Tesla! Him again! In the recesses of my brain, something began to stir. I remembered that somewhere in my parents' house was a metal salad bowl, of a smooth, rounded, oval shape. I asked my mother: "Oh that horrible thing, you can have it." Another part of the tesla coil jigsaw had fallen into place.
I cleared the floor and put my R.F. signal generator in the middle of the room. On top I balanced the secondary, crowned by its salad bowl topload. I plugged the generator into the bottom of the secondary and swept it, monitoring the output on a scope. I found the notch where it was resonating, and fine tuned it, lying on the floor to minimise capacitance. Then I plugged in a frequency counter: 268 kHz. All I had to do now was find the tank capacitance, and I could design the primary coil.
TRANSFORMER TESTING
I dug out the NST, and did some tests on it to find its equivalent circuit. I wanted to know the leakage inductance so I could resonate it with the tank capacitor for maximum power. I measured the short-circuit current (25mA) and the open-circuit voltage. I didn't have a meter that could withstand 10kV, so I plugged the H.T. winding into 240 volts and measured the voltage on the L.T. side. I calculated that the open-circuit voltage would be 10kV. D'oh, now I know why they called it a 10/25 transformer. I also measured the secondary DC resistance (30kOhm) From these measurements I calculated that the leakage inductance was around 1,000 Henries. The capacitor to resonate that at 50 Hertz was 9.4nF.
THE TANK CAPACITOR
I heard some bad things about resonant operation, so I put together a Pspice model. I found that the voltage would rise to 20kV on the first half cycle, 30kV on the second, and so on. So if the spark gap doesn't fire, the voltage will rise until something blows. The transformer was designed for 10kV RMS which is 14kV peak. If I set my spark gap at a bit less than 20kV then there should be nothing to worry about. With 100 bps, and a 9.4nF cap charged to 20kV, the power input to the primary is 200 watts. I checked out the Farnell catalogue for caps. They were selling yellow cylinder-shaped ones, 47nF @ 1.5kV, pulse rated 1000V/us. I looked on the net and found that some coilers in the UK had used these before with good results. 15 in series would give me 3.1333…nF @ 22.5kV, and three of that in parallel would give 9.4nF, using 45 caps. I ordered a pile of caps and 10-meg high-voltage bleeder resistors.
THE SPARK GAP
Back down in the basement, I cut out two plexiglass disks and epoxied them into the ends of my secondary, to seal it. Then I prepared two X-shaped bits of M.D.F. and epoxied them into each end of the secondary. Now I could screw the coil to a baseboard, and screw the salad bowl to the top. Where would it end? Would I be able to re-animate dead tissue soon? Not without a spark gap. I thought about the RQ design made of ½" copper pipe but I reckoned it was overkill for my 200 watt coil. Rotary gaps were out, because I didn't have a synchronous motor. Well strictly speaking I did, but it would mean trashing my reel-to-reel tape deck. What could I make a spark gap from? I got some pennies and drilled holes in the middle. No, I wasn't trying to forge Chinese currency. British pennies are made of solid copper, and I reckoned they would make a fine mini-RQ gap. I mounted them in a row with .025" gaps, and zapped them with the NST. At 10kV RMS I was just lighting 5 gaps in series. That makes 2.8kV (peak) per gap, so 7 gaps would fire at 20kV. In theory… Better make it 6 for safety.
Last weekend, the weather was nice and sunny (if somewhat cold) so I sat out in my folks' garden assembling the MMC capacitor. I got a bit of fibreboard that was perforated on a .25" grid and messed around until I found a high-voltage friendly way of putting 45 caps onto it. I finally succeeded by piling them up two rows deep. The 45 bleeder resistors fitted easily underneath. I made busbars out of copper clad PCB and to finish off I fitted binding post terminals.
Next job was a frame to hold all the parts, and the primary coil. I made the frame out of three bits of white particle board held together with woodscrews. I put plastic threaded standoffs on it (by drilling holes and epoxying them in) to mount the capacitor and spark gap. I fitted the gap with four mini cooling fans while I was at it. Then I made four formers for the primary, out of plastic chopping boards bought from Woolworths. I chose chopping boards because they are usually made from polythene which is a great R.F. insulator. Unfortunately mine were cheaply made and the plastic tended to split apart as it was drilled and cut. I fixed the formers to the stand, then started to make the primary coil.
THE PRIMARY
For the primary I used some copper pipe I got from the university scrap bin. I think it was hydraulic tubing of some kind, quite small at only 4.7mm O.D. That would let me wind the primary on a closer pitch. This was important because I was going to end up needing a lot of primary turns. I designed it this way on purpose because I heard that coils with more primary turns have less spark gap losses. I used a spreadsheet to calculate the archimedean spiral inductance formula I got from Matt Behrend's website. After a bit of messing around I got a design that had a large enough I.D. to clear the secondary, and was not too big. I ended up using 13 turns on a 10mm (0.4") pitch. I gave it a slight conical angle and lined up the inside turn with the bottom of the secondary. I started by soldering a wire into the inside end of the pipe. Nothing but the best, I used some Shark speaker cable that I had lying around. Then I carefully bent each turn to shape and clicked it into the formers. All went well until turn 10, when I ran out of pipe. Luckily I managed to get more of the same and join it by soldering. I added a strike rail made of some larger copper tube, maybe a bit optimistic considering the power level I would be running at, but it looked neat.
The beast was nearly complete. I just had the wiring to do. I used more speaker cable to hook up the rest of the primary, and a fuse holder for the primary tap. I decided to use an odd number of pennies in my gap and ground the middle one to the mains earth, in the hope of protecting the NST. I also made ground leads to connect secondary base and strike rail together, and a flying lead with a big alligator clip to hook it all to R.F. ground. (I don't like hooking the secondary to the primary: I think it would send RF back into the NST and cook it) Hooking this all up took a whole evening, but finally it stood ready on the workbench, topload just clearing the low ceiling. (OK so I made it a bit too tall.) I let out a Frankenstein-like evil genius cackle: The very next day I would harness the forces of lightning! If it worked…
THE DAY OF JUDGMENT
I rose early the next morning armed with R.F. generator and scope. I got the coil and sat it on some bits of wire mesh to act as a groundplane. I clipped the ground lead onto these. Then I hooked the generator up to the secondary and tuned it till I found resonance. Next, with the secondary disconnected, the gap shorted and the generator connected across the tank cap, I tried to get the primary to resonate at the same frequency. I couldn't detect any obvious peak but the signal seemed to get slightly larger in the neighbourhood of turn 12, so I left the tap there. I was going to hook up to a variac and power it on gradually, but my parents stopped by to see some Tesla action before they left for work. It was full power or nothing…
I hooked up my cooling fans to a cordless drill battery. They spun up with a little whining sound. I plugged the tesla coil into one end of a long extension cord, and retired to the other end of the basement. I was getting pretty nervous. What if something went wrong? The capacitors could explode, the spark gap could fall apart and blow the NST. And even supposing it worked, what would it be like? I had never seen a tesla coil working before, only pictures. Everybody stand clear! I inserted the plug and threw the switch.
BBBBRRAAATTTTTTTT…. Holy twisted metal Batman… It worked! Dim streamers of purple light danced around the salad bowl! The air was rent with an evil tearing racket! There were shouts of astonishment from my folks! Suddenly the capacitor bank started arcing, white-hot power arcs right into the particle board stand. But nothing blew up or burned and the coil carried on firing. I cut the power.
The whole place was reeking of ozone as I went over the circuits for a damage report. Everything was A-1 except for a tiny hole punched in the particle board. The cap bank had arced over to one of the screws that held the frame together, and from there to the NST case, about 0.5" in total. That was a lot of voltage and I was worried about the transformer. But I was also desperate to see my creation in action again. I moved the tap to turn 13, turned the lights out, and hit it again.
This time the noise was even louder. The basement lit up with a dull blue flickering light. The streamers twisted and forked through the air, reaching out further. I think they made it to almost 18"-19" but I certainly wasn't going near it with a measuring tape. As for touching the streamers, forget it! I shut down for a while to let the air de-stink.
The next time I fired up, I had installed safety gaps on the NST, set to .3" per side. I took a photo of the coil working, and I also tried lighting some neon tubes. I put the tube (an old part of a neon beer sign) on top of the topload and zapped it. Sparks came out both ends of the tube and it lit up dimly. I also tried putting it on a support about 8" away with the end of the tube facing the topload. The coil generated a single big blue-white streamer that hit the tube and lit it. Bizarrely, after that I couldn't get it to light again. The ozone was getting too stinky by this point and I had to pack it in.
OK, WHAT NOW?
So there you have it. The culmination of three years of daydreaming, looking at Tesla websites when I should have been working, and idle boasts to friends and colleagues. In the end, it only took about three days' work to put it together.


April freeze following an unseasonably warm March killed the blossoms.
Stores in the heart of the nation's biggest tart cherry producing region can't get enough tart cherries from local orchards because 97 percent of Michigan's crop was destroyed this year by a "freak weather pattern," says this article on Yahoo.com.
An unseasonably warm March that caused trees to bud was followed by an April freeze that killed the blossoms.
Trees in New York and Wisconsin, which have smaller but still significant tart cherry harvests, suffered the same weather damage.
Companies such as Cherry Republic in Glen Arbor, Michigan, have raised the prices on a 1-pound bag of dried cherries from $14.50 to $18.95, and chocolate-covered cherries went from $13.95 to $16.95.
Jamie Roster, the owner of the Cherry Stop in Traverse City, Michigan raised her price for dried cherries from $10 per pound to $15.95.
even though the usda's own reserach proved tart cherries help relieve arthritis symptoms, the growers cant say that..
I hear fellow arthritics in usa groaning as a write.
actually I know you would think those prices high.
try we pay clser to 30AU for decent dried apricots etc over here, normally. We have a Huge issue with cruddy turkish apricot being substituted for our much tastier aussie ones, while they still slug us for Agrade aus prices.
now watch china do a deal…and move in on your sales..
Me included. I put three teaspoons of tart cherry juice concentrate on my cereal each morning instead of sugar.
Yesterday I heard a news report report that corn futures have shot up sparking fears of a world wide corn shortage.
April freeze is normal, the March heat wave was definitely not, we typically get a warm day in March where it gets to 70F, but we exceeded 80F for several days, and this was just about 2 weeks after a massive snow storm that dumped 18″ of wet heavy snow over northern Michigan and toppled many trees and cut power for several days.

I have read many books on organizational leadership. One such book is called "Built to Last" by Collins and Porras. The authors analyze ingredients of successful companies. One ingredient is the ability for organizations to stick to their core values. The leadership team communicates the values often, and the employees live and practice the values. Successful companies know the importance of having a clear mission and core values in order to be successful. So this has made me think as to why more individuals do not live by this. Do you have a personal mission statement? What are your core values?
I would like to share with you some of my core values (Serving Others, Growing with myself and God, Loving others and God, Living with Integrity). I obviously have a long way to go, but these are values that I try to reflect in my life. I miserably fail (and all the time), but when I do, I try to learn from the mistake and press forward. I hope to "serve" others by using my gifts and passions to help others. Philippians 2:3-4 says, "Do nothing from selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility VALUE others above yourself, not looking to your own interests but to the interests of others". Wow!. I hope to grow with myself and God as well. When I make mistakes, my goal is to learn from them. I also continue to try to grow in my relationship with God. Colossians 1:10 reflects this core value ("...so that you may live a worthy life and please Him in every way, bearing fruit in every good work, GROWING in the knowledge of God..."). I also seek to live out the value of "Loving God and Others". Jesus said, "Love the Lord your God with all your HEART, with all your SOUL, and with all your MIND.... And the second greatest commandment is to 'love your neighbor as yourself' (Matthew 22:37-38). Finally, I want my behaviors to reflect the value of "integrity". Proverbs 10:9 says, "Whoever walks in INTEGRITY walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out".
Values-based Behavioral Activation is a behavioral-based treatment which has been a successful treatment for individuals who are depressed. The therapist helps the client to develop their own core values. The therapist then guides the client to try to engage in certain behaviors that may reflect those values. For example, if an individual, has a value of giving. The client will develop a plan for the client to find 1 or 2 specific ways that they can practice the value of "giving" through their behaviors for the upcoming week. There are usually homework assignments and the client will rate how their mood changes when they engage in behaviors that reflect their core values. Cool, huh? What is neat is to see how these type of behavior changes will often result in improved emotional health.
One great aspect about having personal values is that it makes your decisions much easier. Roy E Disney said, "it is not hard to make decisions once you know what your values are". Consider developing a few core values. Perhaps, you can even develop a personal mission statement. Then try to engage in behaviors that reflect these values. I can only assume if you do this, you will live with greater joy in your life, especially if the values are of substance.

Line of the Week: Broad Street Line
This week, we're taking a look at 10 miles and 22 stations of one of SEPTA's most familiar routes, the Broad Street Line! Stretching from Fern Rock Transportation Center to NRG Station, the BSL's local trains run every 7 minutes during AM and PM rush. Train times vary for the rest of the day, but the longest length between train times is 12 minutes. Express trains also run on a separate track and stop at 8 of the 22 stations.
On most weekdays, the Broad Street Line makes 626 trips. It's the second-most traveled SEPTA route, just behind the Market-Frankford Line.
The Broad Street Line took its inaugural trip over 92 years ago, on September 1, 1928. At that point, it only traveled between Olney Station and City Hall. It wouldn't extend to Walnut-Locust until 1930 and to Snyder Station until 1938. It took until 1973 (the year the Sports Complex opened) before it reached Pattison Avenue, known now as NRG Station.
In 1975, the Broad Street Line played host to the State-of-the-Art Car. The State-of-the-Art Car (SOAC) was a heavy rail mass transit demonstrator vehicle produced for the United States Department of Transportation's Urban Mass Transportation Administration in the 1970s. It was intended to demonstrate the latest technologies to operating agencies and the riding public, and serve to promote existing and proposed transit lines. It operated in intermittent revenue service on six rapid transit systems in five United States cities, visiting Philadelphia in 1975.
You can ride the Broad Street Line to so many great spots across the city. Ride it to Cecil B. Moore station and explore Temple University's Campus. Or take it south and explore the restaurants and stores along East Passyunk. And eventually, you'll be able to take the BSL to sporting events again at the Sports Complex. Citizens Bank Park, Wells Fargo Center, and Lincoln Financial Field are all walking distance from NRG Station.
If you're planning on riding - there are a few things you don't want to forget.
You'll want to remember your SEPTA Key! This is your "key" to not just the Broad Street Line, but to all of SEPTA! If you're using your SEPTA Key, fare will be $2, your first transfer will be free and your second transfer will only be $1. Not only that, but children under the age of 12 ride free when accompanied by a fare-paying adult! And now, you can buy a Three Day Convenience Pass which is ideal for individuals who travel on SEPTA less than 5 days a week and visitors and tourists enjoying a multiple day stay in Philadelphia. The cost is $18 and it's good for 24 trips over 72 consecutive hours. Time starts with your first tap. It is meant for one rider. You can read up about fares here. And if you've never ridden the BSL before, check out this informative video on How to Ride and check out our Guide to Ride!
Don't forget your mask! This isn't just to keep you safe, it's to keep everyone who rides SEPTA safe! Make sure your mask is covering both your mouth and your nose.
And finally - don't forget to keep social distance!

Q: Expecting a class body when trying to create an instance of Fotoapparat OK so I'm trying to use the Fotoapparat library (link) and honestly I'm getting slightly confused but trying to work it out.
This is the basic initialization according to the documentation:
val fotoapparat = Fotoapparat(
    context = this,
    view = cameraView
)

Now view is expecting an item of type CameraRenderer.
I think the right approach (not sure though tbh) is as follows:
val cameraView = object : CameraRenderer

    val fotoapparat = Fotoapparat(
        context = this.context,
        view = cameraView
    )

but now I have an error on the val fotoapparat variable saying expecting a class body
I'm pretty lost and not sure how to start using this library.
*Any recommendations for a different simple and effective camera library with documentations for kotlin are more than welcome.

A: According to the sample code the cameraview is id of xml view:
  <io.fotoapparat.view.CameraView
        android:id="@+id/cameraView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:visibility="gone"
        tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="8dp"
        tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="8dp"
        tools:visibility="visible">

so add above into your xml and remove this below line:
     val cameraView = object : CameraRenderer

reference: activity_main and here is kotiln code cameraView

Stress is one of the most damaging things that we deal with regularly. The irony is that stress itself is not a bad thing. In fact, stress is an important natural response to danger and to challenge, which increases our athletic performance, our focus and our likelihood of winning any confrontation.
That's acute stress anyway. That's 'eustress' which is the positive driving force that helps us to get stuff done and to stop lying around.
The problem is when stress becomes chronic. When the 'stressor' (the cause of stress) doesn't go away (perhaps it's debt, or a bad boss), then the body spends too long in this aroused state. The immune system, the digestion and even our creativity are all suppressed when we're stressed and this leaves us vulnerable to illness and depression. Not only that, but stress causes elevated heartrates and increased blood pressure, which can put us at risk of a stroke or even a heart attack.
Then there's the fact that stress causes us to contract our muscles, to feel pain more acutely and to worry about things that don't matter. Not to mention that you can actually 'run out' of adrenaline and other stress hormones, leading to adrenal fatigue and resulting lethargy and disinterest.
Chronic stress is the problem then and unfortunately, our modern lives are completely filled with it. That means it's up to you to try and find ways to combat said stress and to get your body back under your own control. Read on and we'll take a look at 21 natural ways to reduce stress.
Number one on this list has to be the single most effective way to combat stress in the short term and the long term. Meditation is nothing mystic or esoteric. All this is, is the practice of concentrating your attention on your breathing, or on clearing your mind.
That gives you the ability to decide whether you want to respond to the thoughts and feelings coming into your head, or whether you want to let them pass you by.
In other words, meditation gives you the ability to conscious detach yourself from your stressors and your troubles and to just relax. This has been shown to cause lasting changes in the brain as well as to give users a practical way to handle stress wherever it arises.

January 22, 2023, marked the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, a landmark Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion nationwide. Following the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade on June 24, 2022, abortion has become illegal in Texas and 23 other states have banned abortion or are likely to do so.
First, we speak with Kim McKean, director of the Stages production, ROE, which highlights the human stories that led up to Roe v. Wade, its ruling, and the decades that followed to the present day. ROE is now playing at Stages in Houston through March 5, 2023. For more information, click here.
For the remainder of the hour, we discuss where the country is following the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. Joining the conversation is law professor Charles "Rocky" Rhodes, who discusses the legality surrounding current abortion access and restrictions on a state and federal level.
We also speak with Dr. McClain Sampson who explains the current options and resources available to women in Texas, now that abortion is completely banned in the state. She also details her work with the Healthy Start program, which seeks to reduce maternal and infant mortality in disenfranchised communities, increases access to prenatal care, and remove barriers to service.
Healthy Start is now serving zip codes: 77004,77016, 77021, 77033, 77035, 77047, 77067, 77088, 77091, and 77093. For more information, click here. You can also follow them on Instagram: @healthystartuh or Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HealthyStartUH

Our advice line for kinship carers is celebrating a milestone this week, having now helped over 7,500 families.
The Grandparents Plus advice service, which offers support for grandparents and other relatives who step in to raise children full time, was set up in 2011, and is now running thanks to support received from the Henry Smith Charity and players of People's Postcode Lottery, as well as public donations.
"Grandparents Plus has done so much for me. When I first called, they were able to give me the right information to get the support I needed from the local authority and by helping with an emergency grant for a new bed and clothes. Then when the payments I'd been promised weren't coming through, they stuck with me every step of the way.
"We hear so many stories every day of kinship carers who have stepped in to do the right thing and stop children going into care, but don't know where to turn. It's great to know that we're making a real difference to families by providing the right advice when they need it, whether that's on benefits they can access, help for the children or anything else they might need.
The Grandparents Plus advice line is open from Monday to Friday between 10am and 3pm. Any kinship carer or prospective kinship carer can access the service, regardless of their legal status or whether they're a grandparent or not. The number to call is 0300 123 7015, or email [email protected].
