ICRR Air Ambulance Officially Launched this Week
Ireland's first Charity led Air Ambulance delivered 56 missions in its first month of service and officially launched this week by An Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade Simon Coveney. The new Air Ambulance is expected to perform 500 life-saving missions per annum and to be largely funded by public donations. The Co. Cork based service is being led by Irish Community Rapid Response (ICRR) and delivered with the HSE National Ambulance Service (NAS) and the Department of Health.
The Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) went live on Tuesday, July 30th. It has been tasked with 56 missions during its first month to August 30th. On its busiest day to date the service was tasked five times. The National Ambulance Service tasks the HEMS through 112 / 999 calls to its National Emergency Operations Centre (NEOC).
Officially launching the service at its Rathcoole, Co. Cork base this week, An Tánaiste Simon Coveney commended the partnership approach which has been developed.
"This project involves Irish Community Rapid Response and the HSE's National Ambulance Service coming together to save lives and serve the public good. I strongly commend this partnership approach and the State is fully committed to it. It will assist in saving lives by delivering rapid care to patients."
ICRR, Founder and Volunteer John Kearney said the launch was the realisation of a dream and the charity called on the public to now support the project, as it is to be largely funded through public donations.
"The first month of service has shown with no doubt the real need for this service. Its use has exceeded expectations. It has been very rewarding to see it become a reality for people and families at their most critical hour of need. I am certain that lives have already been saved and that so many more will be.
"I want to acknowledge the essential contribution of our partners in the HSE National Ambulance Service and Department of Health. However, this is a community-based charity led service and it will need to raise €2m annually from the public to remain operational.
"ICRR will shortly be launching a major fundraising drive and will be calling on the public, on companies, on individuals and communities to support the Air Ambulance. Our thanks to so many for such generous support to date."
In the partnership which has been agreed the charity is funding the cost of the helicopter, the pilots, the fuel and the airbase near Millstreet in Co. Cork. The National Ambulance Service is resourcing the medical staffing and coordinating all the tasking of the craft through its aeromedical desk situated in the NEOC in Tallaght. While Munster based it will be available for missions nationwide and work in tandem with the existing Athlone based Irish Air Corps Emergency Aeromedical Service (EAS).
The charity Air Ambulance brings the population of a 10,000 square mile area within 20 minutes of critical medical care. Since 2008, ICRR has also developed a network of over 250 land based volunteer doctors and ten Rapid Response Vehicles (RRVs), across the country, to deliver critical medical interventions which prevent serious injury or death who are also dispatched to calls by the NEOC, within the National Ambulance Service.

Guess Who Wanted To Buy Facebook, YouTube In 2006? AOL!
By Antonio Miles on August 19, 2019
A case of lost opportunities for AOL! Facebook; YouTube and maybe Tencent would be owned by different businesses today if AOL had stepped in to buy them in the years 2006 and 2004 respectively.
Jon Miller, ex-CEO of AOL has revealed yester year facts publicly for the first time in an exclusive interview with CNBC. Miller put the blame for a halt to further talks on the Time Warner Board.
The acquisition of Time Warner by AOL in 2000 was a much touted deal but it did no good to the growth of AOL. Time Warner rebounded and gained control of the merged company as the revenue numbers of AOL fell. Miller who served as the CEO of AOL for the period 2002-2006 never got support for acquiring internet companies which Time Warner felt were distracting them from their core strengths in cable networks and content creation.
Google went on to acquire YouTube in 2006 and made history. The $1.65 billion acquisition was valued at $160 billion previous year. Tencent is now valued at around $400 billion while market cap of Facebook is a $510 billion plus today.
Miller felt that acquisitions were necessary for being a forerunner in business but the visions held by him for growth and expansion were dampened by Time Warner Cable. It was a case of missed opportunities, he felt. The culture at AOL subsequently worsened and eventually this led to an AOL spin-out in 2009.
Tim Armstrong stepped in as the new CEO of the new spin out and got a taste of the toxic levels in the work culture at AOL. Immediate steps were taken by him to rectify the situation which involved knocking down his office walls and introducing a model of open floor seating. AOL was eventually sold by Armstrong to Verizon in 2015 for about $4.4 billion.

Yes! Malcolm In The Middle is finally coming to DVD in the UK! All of the seasons are to be released by this Christmas (With a Complete Boxset then being released), by Fabulous Films who have bought the UK rights from FOX. They specialize in sorting out releases with music rights issues, and they are going to be put out with all of the music intact. The First Season is up for Pre Order now on Amazon and will be released in June. I can't wait!
Re: Malcolm In The Middle Seasons - UK!
I wish that Shout would buy the rights from Fox and put the series out in america, its still one of my favorite tv comedies of all time. At least the whole series is on netflix.

Q: Invertible matrices of natural numbers are permutations... why? I have heard the following statement several times and I suspect that there is an easy and elegant proof of this fact which I am just not seeing.

Question: Why is it true that  an invertible nxn matrix with non-negative integer entries, whose inverse also has non-negative integer entries, is necessarily a permutation matrix?

The reason I am interested in this has to do with categorification. There is an important 2-category, the 2-category of Kapranov–Voevodsky 2-vector spaces, which in one incarnation has objects given by the natural numbers and 1-morphisms from n to m are mxn matrices of vector spaces. Composition is like the usual matrix composition, but using the direct sum and tensor product of vector spaces. The 2-morphisms are matrices of linear maps.
The above fact implies that the only equivalences in this  2-category are "permutation matrices" i.e. those matrices of vector spaces which look like permutation matrices, but where each "1" is replaced by a 1-dimensional vector space.
It is easy to see why the above fact implies this.
Given a matrix of vector spaces, you can apply "dim" to get a matrix of non-negative integers. Dimension respects tensor product and direct sum and so this association is compatible with the composition in 2-Vect. Thus if a matrix of vector spaces is weakly invertible, then its matrix of dimensions is also invertible, and moreover both this matrix and its inverse have positive interger entries. Thus, by the above fact, the matrix of dimesnions must be a permutation matrix.
But why is the above fact true?

A: Here is a particularly simpleminded proof (which is probably the same as some of the others). Suppose that $A$ and $B$ are $n \times n$ matrices with non-negative entries and that $AB=D$ is a diagonal matrix. For each non-zero entry $a_{ij} \gt 0$ of $A$ we have $b_{j \ell}=0$  for all $\ell \ne i$ since $d_{i \ell} = 0$.  Likewise, for each $b_{ji} \gt 0$ we have $a_{kj}=0$ for all $k \ne i.$
Now suppose that $D$ is invertible, then each row of A has a non-zero entry. We will now see that it is the only non-zero entry of its row and of its column. For each $i$ there is some $j$ with $a_{ij} \gt 0.$ Then $b_{ji} \gt 0$ since nothing else in its row is. Since $d_{mi}=0$ for $m \ne i$, $a_{ij}$ is the only non-zero entry in its column. And since no two rows of $B$ are dependent, for every $k \ne j$ there is an $m \ne i$ with $b_{km} \gt 0.$ Since $d_{im}=0$ it follows that $a_{ik}=0$ so indeed $a_{ij}$ is the only non-zero entry of its row and column. Similarly, $b_{ji} \gt 0$ is the only non-zero entry of its  row and column.
Hence the non-zero entries of $A$ are the same as those of a permutation matrix $P$ and those of $B$ are the same as those of $P^t=P^{-1}$. If these non-negative matrices are integer matrices with $AB=I$ then the non-zero entries are all $1$ so $A=P.$

A: This is an easy consequence of the Perron-Frobenius theorem, but I'll desribe a proof without using that theorem.
A non-negative matrix is one that takes the positive orthant into the positive orthant. Whether integral or not, if the inverse is also positive, it follows that the linear map is a homeomorphism of the positive orthant to itself.  The image of the orthant in projective space is an $n-1$-simplex; the induced map is a projective map that permutes the vertices, or in other words, any such matrix is a permutation matrix times a positive diagonal matrix. The only positive unit in $\mathbb Z$ is 1, so it's a permutation matrix.

A: Suppose $A$ and $B=A^{-1}$ have all coefficients in $\mathbb N$. Then the same is true for the symmetric matrix $AA^t$ and its inverse $B^t B$. Since every row (and column) of $A$ and $B$ contains at least one strictly positive coefficient, the products $AA^t$ and $B^tB$
can be written as
$AA^t=I+a$ and $B^tB=I+b$ with $a$ and $b$ two symmetric (not necessarily invertible) matrices with coefficients
in $\mathbb N$. Since $AA^tB^tB=I$, we get $a=b=0$ by
considering the product $AA^tB^tB=(I+a)(I+b)=I+a+b+ab$.
The matrix $A$ is thus an orthogonal matrix with coefficients in $\mathbb N$, which implies that it has exactly one non-zero coefficient equal to $1$ in every row and column. It is thus a permutation matrix.

A: Proof: The condition that $M$ has nonnegative integer entries means that it maps the monoid $\mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}^n$ to itself. The condition that $M^{-1}$ is likewise means that $M$ is an automorphism of this monoid.
The basis elements $(0,0,\ldots,0,1,0,\ldots, 0)$ in $\mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}^n$ are the only elements which cannot be written as $u+v$ for some nonzero $u$ and $v$ in $\mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}^n$. This description makes it clear that any automorphism of $\mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}^n$ must permute this basis. So $M$ is a permutation matrix.

Vaccination important to reduce impact of new Covid-19 variant – Dr. Faisal
February 13, 2021 , 13:47
Dr. Ahmed Faisal | Photo: The Press
Malé, Maldives – Local pediatrician Dr. Ahmed Faisal, urging the public to get vaccinated and highlighting the importance of getting vaccinated, has highlighted how the vaccines reduce the negative impacts of the Covid-19 virus and its new variant.
Retweeting a post by the World Health Organization (WHO) about Covid-19, Dr. Faisal highlighted that while the new variant takes less time and less amounts of virus to infect an individual, as well as has the capacity to infect those who have already been infected and those who have been vaccinated already, getting the incoluation is the best way to fight the virus, given that so far no cases among those fully vaccinated have been reported to have had gotten seriously ill, admitted or resulted in a fatality.
To understand why one might get infected despite getting the Covid-19 vaccine, we must understand the concept of efficacy. So far, no Covid-19 vaccine has been made to have an efficacy of 100 percent.
For example, the vaccine currently being administered in the Maldives is the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine marketed as the Covishield vaccine. This vaccine has an efficacy of 63 percent, according to the interim report by WHO. This does not mean that an individual who got the vaccine still has a 37 percent chance of getting the vaccine. It means that the vaccine reduces the risk of infection by 63 percent in an entire population of those who have gotten the vaccine.
Maldives has currently reported to have vaccinated more than 20,000 individuals in the country via the national vaccination program 'Covid-19 Dhifaau' campaign which aims to vaccinate the entire population of the country who are eligible for the vaccine, within the upcoming six months.

Gli sbandati is een Italiaanse film van Franco Maselli die werd uitgebracht in 1955.

De film werd in 2008 opgenomen in de lijst van 100 film italiani da salvare.

Verhaal

Het verhaal speelt zich af in de zomer van 1943, in de nasleep van de Italiaanse Veldtocht, in de buurt van Milaan. Het fascisme is aan het instorten.

Gravin Luisa en haar zoon Andrea, haar neef Carlo en Ferruccio, een oude vriend, hebben Milaan verlaten om te ontkomen aan de bombardementen. Ze schuilen in haar luxueuze villa op het platteland, aan de oever van de Po. Gravin Luisa is de weduwe van een zakenman, Carlo is de zoon van een belangrijke fascistische leider die naar Zwitserland is gevlucht. Ferruccio is de zoon van een legerofficier.

De jongemannen leiden er een kommerloos leventje. Enkel Carlo lijkt de ernst van de situatie te beseffen. Andere mensen die op de vlucht zijn stromen toe. Andrea gaat in op de vraag van de burgemeester van het dorp om een familie onderdak te verschaffen. Onder hen bevindt zich de jonge mooie arbeidster Lucia door wie Andrea gefascineerd raakt. Terwijl zijn moeder terugkeert naar Milaan verstopt Andrea zelfs gedeserteerde Italiaanse soldaten.

Podcast: The Insider talks crowdfunding with Kevin De La Isla O'Neill, director of The Hit Producer
Brian Lloyd
On this week's Insider Podcast, we talked to Kevin De La Isla O'Neill, director of Irish thriller The Hit Producer.
Kevin began a crowdfunding campaign on FundIt.ie to gather a budget for the film, raising over €18,000 through the website alone. At the time, THe Hit Producer was one of the first films to be crowdfunded in Ireland and became something of a success story for the process.
We talked to Kevin about that process, of gathering funds for making the film, how it differs to the traditional route and what problems people can face on the route. He also talked about the production itself, the lengthy post-production process and how the film has fared in festivals and overseas.

Hi, also having this issue over here. When I add a new time series, I am prompted if I would like to save the model, if I click yes, I get an error in the status bar, that the model failed to save correctly.
I fixed a crash on saving Time Series without group and/or fleet targets, which most likely has solved this issue. You will need to reimport your model to v. 6.0.3 or higher.
SO I get to the point where I can click save in the add values tab, and the screen remains open. I can keep clicking save in the tab, but it will not automatically shut, and then when I click cancel (the only way to get rid of the tab), my values have not saved.
Hmm, Ecosim manages to save fine here. Carie, can you send me your model please?
Thought I closed this yesterday... I can save now, when I duplicate a time series.

New Drug Application Submitted for Linhaliq as Treatment of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Infection in NCFBE Patients
by Alice Melão
The pharmaceutical company Aradigm has submitted a new drug application (NDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Linhaliq (ciprofloxacin) as a treatment for non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFBE) in patients with chronic lung infections with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, according to a press release.
The NDA is supported by positive results from the Phase 3 ORBIT-4 pivotal clinical trial (NCT02104245) and data from the Phase 3 ORBIT-3 (NCT01515007) and the Phase 2b ORBIT-2 trials. Additional preclinical and clinical data from Aradigm and other publicly available sources are expected to provide additional supporting evidence for Linhaliq's NDA designation.
Previously known as Pulmaquin, Linhaliq is composed of a mixture of encapsulated and free forms of the widely used antibiotic ciprofloxacin. This antibiotic is often used to treat acute lung infections caused by bacteria, including P. aeruginosa.
Phase 3 clinical trials included a total of 582 patients with NCFBE who received once-daily Linhaliq or a placebo in six cycles of 28 days of treatment plus 28 days off treatment. This regimen was followed by a 28-day, open-label extension in which all patients received Linhaliq.
Overall, the investigative treatment was shown to increase the time for a first pulmonary exacerbation in NCFBE patients compared with the placebo-treated group. In addition, Linhaliq significantly reduced the density of P. aeruginosa bacteria by the end of the first treatment period (the first 28 days). This effect was found to be consistent throughout all of the remaining treatment cycles.
The results of the Phase 3 trials also demonstrated that Linhaliq was generally safe and well-tolerated by patients. The treatment did not induce significant changes in patients' lung function or airway irritation compared with a placebo. The rates of treatment-related adverse events were similar in Linhaliq and placebo-treated patients.
The FDA granted Linhaliq orphan drug designation for the management of bronchiectasis and qualified infectious disease product (QIDP) designation for the treatment of NCFBE patients with chronic P. aeruginosa lung infections. The FDA also granted fast track designation to Linhaliq.
Aradigm also will submit a marketing authorization application to the European Union for Linhaliq as a treatment for patients with NCFBE who have chronic P. aeruginosa lung infections.

LBank's 2022: A year of challenge and perseverance
in Top Exchanges
MEXC Global Crypto Fees & More
Top 5 cryptocurrencies with triple-digit gains in 2023
With 2022 almost over, it's safe to say that we are all glad to leave it behind and face a fresh new year. 2022 has been a year of turmoil and tribulations for the crypto industry. For LBank, a top 20 global crypto exchange, it certainly has been a significant year of both challenges and opportunities. More importantly, LBank is ready to turn the page and see what is in store for the coming year.
Since its establishment in 2015, LBank has been ever-changing to fit with market trends and has been going strong for more than 7 years. 2022 was no different. Two of LBank's major goals in the past year were globalization and localization, which refers to expanding to new locations around the world and working with a local team to connect with local users and create regional communities. 2022 was a major year of growth for LBank, which has led to the exchange currently having team members located in more than 20 countries and community managers in more than 15 countries.
LBank has also exhibited in many of the top industry conferences such as Consensus 2022, Bitcoin Miami 2022, Token 2049, and Web Summit Lisbon. "It was a busy year, event-wise. We were so honored to be a part of these conferences. In the first part of the year, cities were starting to open up, and we had some of the first offline crypto events in years. We were so thrilled to meet our users in person," global event director Stojan Siljanovski told us.
LBank's brand update in September 2022 showed a new and improved version of the exchange and gave us a glimpse of LBank's plans for the following years. LBank's new logo symbolizes its determination to push for crypto education in emerging markets and bring a new generation of young crypto users to the main stage. LBank also posted its long-awaited diversity video showcasing its global team members and how much they value workplace diversity and inclusivity.

Q: Systemjs and es6 import I want to use es6 modules and Systemjs. But I do not understand one thing. For example I have such my-module1.js file:
'use strict';

import myModule2 from './my-module2.js';

myModule2();

// some additional code goes here

Here is my-module2.js file content:
'use strict';

export default function myModule2() {
    // some additional code goes here
}

and here is part of index.html:
<script>
'use strict';
System.import('./my-module1.js').then(function() {

});
</script>

Two questions:
1) When Systemjs will load my-module1.js it will find import operator. Will Systemjs load file which is in import operator? Or Systemjs does not work with import operator?
2) In future when browsers support es6 modules, when browser find files with import operator, will browser synchronously load these files or asynchronously? I mean if browser load these
files synchronously, will user actions(such as mouse click, mouse hover, keyup etc) work or browser page will be blocked? It happens when you for example do synchronous xhr request.

A: First part of question: Systemjs will execute the import statement, provided your httpserver is serving the files.
Second part of question: YES. ES6 Modules are loaded Synchronously or Asynchronously? "ES6 module loaders will be asynchronous."

Thailand pushes against crypto, postpones CBDC pilot
By Jamilah Lim | 5 January, 2022
Last month, the Central Bank of Thailand announced that it expects public trials for its retail central bank digital currency (CBDC) to be delayed to late 2022.
According to deputy central bank director Kasidit Tansanguan, the pilot project was originally planned for Q2 of 2022 and seeks to test the use of the CBDC in cash-like activities, albeit within a limited scale.
Said 'cash-like' activities include transactions such as deposits, withdrawals, and fund transfers by around 10,000 customers as well as financial institutions.
According to Kasidit, Thailand will "proceed slowly" after discussions with relevant parties and "careful consideration".
"Thailand can still take a gradual step in the retail CBDC to ensure efficiency and prudence as it does have a problem with fund transfers or payments as some other countries," added Kasidit, in a Reuters report.
Thailand began work on a CBDC from as early as 2018, starting with Project Inthanon.
From 2018 to 2020, BoT had been in collaboration with leading financial institutions, to create a proof-of-concept wholesale Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) prototype using distributed ledger technology in different use cases. It ranges from enabling automated regulatory compliance processes to tackling high fees in cross-border payments.
Not a CBDC vs crypto thing
Earlier this month, the country's central bank said it does not want commercial banks to be directly involved in trading digital assets, citing the risks stemming from high price volatility, reported Reuters.
This came on the back of recent movements by commercial banks in the country that has invested in local digital asset exchanges. First was the US$537 million acquisition of Bitkub by Siam Commercial Bank Pcl (SCB), and then a US$41 million investment into Zipmex by Bank of Ayudhya Pcl .
"We don't want banks to be directly involved in digital asset trading because banks are (responsible) for customer deposits and the public and there is a risk," said Bank of Thailand (BOT) senior director Chayawadee Chai-Anant.
"The priority should be on technology that promotes financial innovation, enhances the efficiency and security of the payments system, and safeguards the economic and financial systems," he added.
WHY IS ASIA SO OBSESSED WITH CRYPTOCURRENCIES?
Jamilah Lim | 10 December, 2021
Prior to that, the central bank also warned companies about accepting crypto payments.
"If other currencies are widely used, it will impact the central bank's ability to oversee the economy," said BOT senior director Sakkapop Panyanukul.
He added that the bank is not exactly entirely afraid of all cryptocurrencies — just the ones that aren't backed by assets, such as bitcoin.
Cryptocurrencies that are backed by assets are known as stablecoins.
The central bank also added that it was working with other agencies on ways to regulate digital assets.
Early last month too, the Tourism Authority of Thailand was reportedly working on its own digital token, the TAT Coin, which will be accepted for travel.
A new unit will also be set up by next year to handle the issuance of Thailand's own CBDC, produce a wallet, and build a new tourism ecosystem. The Tourism Authority's governor believes that Thailand must be promoted as a crypto-positive society to welcome crypto millionaire tourists.
Trading and use of cryptocurrencies have gained momentum in Thailand in the last year with retailers and real estate developers accepting digital assets as payments.
Thailand, which has eight licensed cryptocurrency exchanges, saw about 205 billion baht ($6.09 billion) in digital asset transactions in November, data from the Securities and Exchange Commission showed.


A lovely clean and airy exposition photonal.
Beautiful music and some, no doubt, deceptively 'simple' audio interaction upon size and colour and , if I'm not much mistaken, lighting too.
HSL colours by any chance? MIDI used too ? [just guessing / asking :-)].
What also impresses me is something that I picked up on with one of leegrosbauer's 3D competition entry - you are both, after your own individual fashions and purposes giving yourselves plenty of time and space.
I can find it all too easy to go for and get the 'mostest' , frenetic, lively and over reactive results.
Seeing how effective some considered restraint can be is a real education and what sweetly ambient music, I'm going to view it again - cheers.
Well, correct me if I'm wrong fella, but as far as I was aware, all uploads to that composition repository are actually competition entries - right [ or wrong ?] - which is it then I can't help but wonder ?
Point about time and space still stands.
Oh! err, I guess I don't know the actual answer. Returning to Ambient music video with Kineme 3D, however: Nice.
yes this is aesthetically pleasing me. the use of space is most defiantly a must for the ambient although a hyper reactive visual could pose a cool juxtaposition to the smooth ambient sounds. honestly im not feeling cube inside the sphere bit and i think if there where a tad bit more reactiveness to the cube or sphere during the beat parts it might be even more aesthetically pleasing to me. i like the fact that your making music and visuals as well thats really my passion in life. i used to call it audio visual communications. @cybero i think lees k3d comps required the space in order for the feedback to have a proper chance permeate which is not the case for this comp....all the same the space is nice. i end up going overboard sometimes with the reactiveness.
not trying to detract from thread but would like to share a test render im doing for my new song with the author of this thread. its my first approach to working with video in QC. (normally i make generative art into video) and well its not clean actually very dirty and defiantly not ambient but has some good break downs. http://d0cut0uch.no-ip.info/thisIsTheLove.mov im currently aquiring more clips to make it more interesting. but i made a step sequencer to sequence video time for a glitchy effect. actually slowed it to half time so she isn't dancing all fast etc.. the new version actually has the step recorders time mapped to the audio peak so there is even more reactiveness i will post someday when im finished.
That's interesting. I like to see more people using Quartz Composer as a way of creating visuals to go with music.
I see a strong parallel between the home recording studio revolution of cheaper hardware, enabled by advances in software, and what is happening now with tools like Quartz Composer, Processing, VVVV, Jitter, etc., in enabling people to come up with really cool visuals to go with the music.
That's an amazing thing. I think what happens is that inevitably, people write a song, or do a visual, and kind of join the two. After awhile though, an environment comes about where people can actually have a true "audio/visual" idea, of both elements at the same time, and then just go and do it with the tools they have in hand.
So, you have this new form of media, or maybe the thing that kind of turns music videos on their heads a bit... so that instead of being something a music artist does, begrudgingly, you have people that think of music and visual as going together naturally.
I like the background, and the use of the Polygon mode and the 3D deformers, which gives the sphere an interesting look. I like that you paid attention to lighting, but when you have the light shift to +X it would look totally badass if the background gradient setup had shifted respectively. Just a thought for another time.
Well observed GT, what about a slightly different version of the visual in which the 3D objects slowly morphed / blended ?
dust - I really think you need to place this , or any video, upon an external server; I have tried running web services via dynDNS and similar services before now and one really is , in effect, trying to force a quart into a pint pot so to speak.
You do come up with some interesting works and it would be a real pity to have that lost in failed connections. It strikes me as also true that your opening yourself up to an increased level of network and machine based failure.
If on external server and saved as an .mp4 it will practically 'stream' itself and run from start to finish with barely a hitch.
Besides, serving this must inevitably slow down your use of the available upload / download limits upon your personal broadband, upon which, quite typically, upload is a mere percentage of one's download speed.
Even a Hostrator account [one's favourite price FOC] would be faster and a Google blog [also FOC] would also give you plenty of scope to play around with your work, as too would MySpace.
Personally , I have relegated PWS stuff to just sand-boxing my web design and web development work.
your right i have an .edu server that i can blow up if i want. today my server is slow cause im messing with trying to quicktime broadcast qc. i can route a domain to my home server. basically i need php and mysql to run joomla and my school server doesn't run mysql or at least until i take that class then i get permissions so right now i have my home network server and my edu server that thankfully has php so serving movies i should put on my external. my telephone system runs off three servers so incase one goes down etc the other will pick up and route the calls to me. i should use this principle for displaying my work. i got to get back into admin work maybe make some sort of bandwidth benchmark cap so if im getting to many requests on a multicast then i should load balance to another server or something. not really sure how to do that but im sure a little php could do the trick. i just wanted to share my video and didn't want to upload unfinished work to vimeo or even my edu cause the bandwidth is un limited but the space isn't so i can't go crazy. i know chris @ kineme blew up a router last year so maybe your right a dedicated server would be good. i usually go with godaddy. got to get a domain to. i have my name my dvj name and a few others just parked pointing to nothing. who do you use and what is this google thing my .edu mail has just gone to a google server so they can handle the traffic i know.
Hostrator is pretty slow, advert headed, however it will provide a pretty full set of services, albeit slower than a fully fledged co-located or even web hosting share on a backbone situated server bank - plenty of 'em out there fella :-) .
Techniques: Midi is used mainly as a control signal for controlling the graphic elements. Sometimes the midi comes straight out of a sequencer, or it is generated from the individual audio tracks using Kyma to create mappings; e.g. frequency or amplitude --> midi note number or midi control number.
... maybe I should do a third edit to include the idea from gtoledo3....!!
I'm wondering how you mapped the cube-ish surface onto the sphere. In other words, is there a geometric way to show how a rect surface gets mapped onto the sphere in a 2D geometric diagram?
I looked up Mercator projection and it looks a little non-trivial to apply the formulas.
I guess I'm asking for a template (or template generation method) to load into 2D drawing apps to make a sphere (3d) surface that will get mapped in QC accurately. By Acurately I mean the lines which should appear straight and vertical and horizontal do appear that way no deformed by the mapping.
photoshop Rectangular to Polar coordinates ?
yeah i like the music better now. your getting kind of an irregular heartbeat sort of going with the lick drum. i like georges idea of a morph. maybe in your 3rd version instead of a strait cut from cube to sphere a slow morph or even quick morph. then again that could mess every thing up. i think it would be cool if you zoomed all the way into one of the squares then you zoom out slowly revealing the squares but this time its a sphere.... maybe make it more seamless. it works now and the cube inside the sphere is growing on me. i think the reason it works for me with a strait cut is that the translation of the cube is the same of the sphere so the fluidity of the cut works without it jumping and remains smooth. im just throwing out ideas. im a big fan of graphic minimalism as well musical minimalism although i don't practice either as much as i should the piece still remains aesthetic to me. good choice of colors and nice remix the ambience is soothing.
That intrigues me but could you join the dots, it's a long long time since I excelled at maths ;) Do you mean 3D polar coords or 2D polar?


i was diagnosed with Large B Cell, Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in December 2015. My first chemo was Monday February 1, 2016. The treatment plan is for six treatments spaced three weeks apart. The next scheduled for Monday 2-22-2016.

Teen reports drug buy in first 911 text
By Cecilia Fox - cfox@troydailynews.com
MIAMI COUNTY — Over the weekend, the Miami County Communication Center received its first text-to-911 call from a 16-year-old girl who was a passenger in a car during a drug deal.
Around 4:30 p.m. on July 22, the teen, who is known to the suspect, reported to dispatchers that Matthew J. Weigel, 20, of Troy, was headed to Vandalia to buy heroin. She stated that she could not make a voice call, but that she feared for his life.
"It was the type of situation that made sense to use texting versus attempting a voice call," Communication Center Director Jeff Busch said.
It was the center's first, and so far only, actual text-to-911 call, Busch noted.
The suspect was initially unaware that the passenger was texting 911, but eventually realized she had notified law enforcement, according to a transcript provided by the Communication Center.
According to her messages, Weigel was agitated and told his passenger that he would flee law enforcement. Dispatch maintained a text conversation with the girl for about 30 minutes, while trying to get law enforcement units to establish contact.
The girl described the vehicle and kept dispatch informed of their location, texting landmarks and mile markers as Weigel drove toward Vandalia.
"He said he will do a high speed chase," she texted dispatch. "I'm crying, I don't want (him) to die on drugs. He said he will wreck us. He's screaming."
Weigel allegedly made a heroin purchase in Harrison Township and began their return trip northbound on Interstate 75.
According to a report from the Tipp City Police Department, Weigel and his passenger were intercepted on their return to Miami County by Ohio State Highway Patrol and Tipp City police units without incident.
Weigel is currently in custody at the Miami County Jail.

Racine Mayor Dickert: Resigning and taking over as President of Great Lakes, St. Lawrence Cities Initiative
Home » Press Releases » Racine Mayor Dickert: Resigning and taking over as President of Great Lakes, St. Lawrence Cities Initiative
Gretchen Herrmann | City of Racine | Office of the Mayor
Contact: p 262.636.9212
Mayor John Dickert announced this morning that he has been named as the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Cities Initiative's next President and Chief Administrative Officer. He will, therefore, be stepping down as Mayor of the City of Racine in late summer of this year. "After some thorough reflection and discussion with my family, I have decided it is time to step back from the city to stand up for water on a bigger stage. I am announcing this now, at the earliest possible time, to allow for an orderly transition for the city," Dickert said. "I will be here working on our Development projects, the Budget for next year, and on the day-to-day activities that fill my calendar until my last day. We are not slowing down." Details regarding the election process to fill the vacancy will be determined by the Common Council.
Dickert will succeed David Ullrich, who will step down from his position as Executive Director after thirteen years. The Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Cities Initiative is a coalition of 128 cities from the United States and Canada representing over 17 million people who work together for the long term protection and restoration of the resource. The mayors work closely with state, provincial, federal, tribal, first nation, and non-government representatives from across the basin to protect, restore, and sustain one of the largest freshwater resources in the world. "The work of the Cities Initiative is vital to the health and protection of the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River," says Dickert. "As you know, water is becoming the next battleground from the global perspective; therefore I look forward to expanding my work to protect the Great Lakes."

When visiting any country, it helps to understand the basic customs of the culture. The basic rites associated with birth and marriage are covered here. Understanding these basic attitudes, as well as those regarding death, will foster understanding from visitors to this country.rnrnCentral to Hindu society is the joining of two families through arranged marriages. Adolescent girls offer negotiated dowries to the selected husband and the two are married. This is more than a joining of two people; it is a joining of two families. Money, land, tradition and social convenience all play a part in this union.rnrnIndia is slowly moving into the modern world in regards to marriage. Education and more widely available birth control methods have given women more say in who they will marry and why. As women gain more control of their own lives, the middle class is showing an increased tolerance of marriages for love. Before long arranged marriages may become rituals of the past.rnrnRituals surrounding fertility range from making offerings at naga shrines dedicated to the snake-*** of fertility to donating black stones to an ancient cactus at Calcutta's Kali temple. When a woman in Rajasthra dons a pido, a yellow veil with a large red dot, it announces her accepted pregnancy by her community.rnrnMale children are honored in Indian society. When a boy is born, conch shells are blown in Bengal and Assam and drums are beaten in Maharashtra. When a girl is born, the women of Rajasthan hide behind their veils and wail loudly.rnrnIn traditional Hindu homes throughout the country of India, an ancient ritual to invoke the producing of a male child is still performed over pregnant women. In a society where it appears women are starting to make strides, it is still evident that they are considered second-class citizens.


Can We Preserve the QuikTrip?
The QuikTrip stands nearly monumental behind the chain link fencing.
"Obviously when a disaster has occurred, it will be too late to conduct the assessment of the historic character and fabric of a building," wrote National Park Service Preservation Assistance Division Chief E. Blaine Cliver in 1998. Yet is it really too late to assess the character of the Ferguson QuikTrip within the framework of American historic preservation practice? After all, the Ferguson QuikTrip is historic in any meaningful sense only for its association with the looting that led to destruction by fire. The blown-out appearance would be a "defining characteristic" in any cultural resource assessment.
Of course, most people would probably fail to find the Ferguson QuikTrip "historic" or worthy of architectural conservation. The facility itself was a generic stock design, matching hundreds across the nation. The events that unfolded in August were widely condemned by people with divergent perspectives on the death of Michael Brown, the resulting demonstrations, and the culture of policing in Ferguson. Everyone, it seemed, held the looters of the QuikTrip to be villains. Demonstrators disavowed their actions.
Yet historical moments cannot be disclaimed because they offer problematic or unresolved narratives. Sites associated with history's darker instances -- assassinations, terrorism, mass conflict, environmental degradation -- confound our identities but compel sensitive treatment by preservationists. In fact, historic preservation has led to the expansion of National Register if Historic Places or other official designations on sites including the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, site of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King; the Ku Klux Klan meeting hall in Fort Worth; and the decimated Lower Greenwood neighborhood in Tulsa, which essentially disappeared after racial rioting. At the Texas School Book Depository in Dallas, the sixth floor window where Lee Harvey Oswald aimed his rifle at John F. Kennedy is left permanent in the position where the gunman set it -- an unsettling reminder of the gravity of the building's role in the Kennedy assassination. Official and intellectual preservation practice has not always avoided difficult sites, but many of local significance remain unexamined or dismissed by preservationists.
In cases where the buildings are too damaged or literally toxic to preserve, historic preservation gives way to public historical efforts at commemoration or embedded interpretation, like the 9/11 Museum in New York or the Oklahoma City Memorial. The Ferguson QuikTrip, mangled beyond reuse and of dubious architectural value without its association with the looting, may seem best suited to follow. Yet the QuikTrip wreckage is not particularly hazardous, and the building is not posed to collapse. Gasoline, signifier of the site's literal potential for combustion, is now gone.
A strict preservation approach to the Ferguson QuikTrip would have to assess the site against the National Register of Historic Places standards for "exceptional significance," a requirement if a property is to receive listing before turning 50 years of age. Here is where preservation appears to be anything but iron-clad rules. The determination of "exceptional significance" relies on historicizing that is not yet complete. While the demonstrations of August 2014 will likely remain historically significant given their intensity and duration compared to previous civil and victim rights organizing around St. Louis, the importance of what happened at QuikTrip may be malleable if there are ongoing demonstrations related to the investigation of the Michael Brown death.
When history has coursed to a point where a determination about preservation of the actual QuikTrip facility is better, it likely will be erased. The facility is private property, while most of the examples cited here became publicly owned due to overwhelming public consensus of their importance. Still, the urges of QuikTrip may not be the only reason the building never meets the assessment of preservation officials. Official preservation activities always already reflect the politics of memory. Ferguson remains contested public memory, rendering the preservation or commemoration of QuikTrip -- even with the most apolitical curatorial intent -- an act of confrontation.

One word: EXCELLENT! I found Skintellect online through a groupon and I thought okay I will try it and if I am creeped out or worried I will just stop going. Thankfully that was not the case and I am so happy to have made the decision to help myself by having laser hair removal. Yody is one of the best people to meet and a pleasure to work with. I was so worried about the person doing my hair removal being creepy and not telling me what was going on, as I know many women have had this feeling when working with health care people. Yody was NOT like that. She was very informative, professional, kind, let me ask lots of questions, and was personable at all times. She talked me through the whole procedure & the steps first, then she literally asked me how I was doing the whole time & talked me through everything she was going to do again. Yody is so professional. I truly felt like my care was her main focus & that my comfort was important to her, because lets be honest, laser hair removal is not 100% painless but it hurts way less then hitting your thumb with a hammer. I have no doubt in my mind that anything Yody does in her business is to the highest quality & standards. 100% would return for any other treatment she does!
I must admit, I was impressed. I went to Skintellect because of issues I had whenever I would shave my legs. From razor bumps, ingrown hairs, to bleeding after shaving. Yody went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and explain to me in details why laser hair removal would be beneficial to me. I had 6 treatments of Laser hair Removal from waist down and I am IN LOVE with my results. Will be back soon for different area. Thanks Yody you've completely change my life!
I am now on my 7th treatment for laser hair removal and am very pleased with the results and professionalism provided by Yodi. I came in for a consultation to get my underarms done and after talking to Yodi decided to do full body and I am so glad I did. I love not having to worry about shaving constantly! Her prices are very reasonable especially when compared to Ideal Image, which in my opinion charges outrageous prices. She is very easy to talk to and explains the treatments thoroughly and really takes her time to make you feel comfortable throughout the process. I recommend her to everyone. You won't be disappointed! Thanks Yodi!

Facebook invests $50 million to build the 'metaverse' in responsible manner
(Reuters) -Facebook Inc will invest $50 million to partner with organizations to responsibly build the so-called metaverse here – a digital world where people can use different devices to move and communicate in a virtual environment, it said on Monday.
FILE PHOTO: A 3D printed Facebook logo is pictured on a keyboard in front of binary code in this illustration taken September 24, 2021. REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration
Facebook, the world's largest social network, has invested heavily in virtual reality and augmented reality, developing hardware such as its Oculus VR headsets and working on AR glasses and wristband technologies. The company has been criticized over its impact on online safety.
The new XR Programs and Research Fund will invest the money globally over two years to ensure metaverse technologies are "built in a way that's inclusive and empowering," Facebook said.
The company said it plans to work with researchers across four areas including data privacy and safety, to allow users to get help if something they see in the metaverse makes them uncomfortable.
It will also research how to design technologies that are inclusive and accessible to all users, and also "encourage competition" in the nascent industry, Facebook added in a blog post.
Facebook has faced scrutiny on a wide range of internet issues, such as the spread of disinformation and social media's negative impact on teens.
Also on Monday, Facebook said it paused development on Instagram Kids, an app that would have provided age-appropriate content for kids under 13. U.S. lawmakers and advocacy groups have cited safety concerns and urged Facebook to drop the launch plans.
A Facebook executive will testify on Thursday at a U.S. Senate committee hearing on the impact of its Instagram app on young users' mental health.
Initial partners for Facebook's new metaverse fund include Howard University in Washington D.C., which will research the history of diversity in the information technology industry and how it could shape opportunity in the metaverse.
Seoul National University and the University of Hong Kong will research safety, ethics and responsible design, Facebook said.

Every Action Matters: A Q&A with Climate Scientist, Katharine Hayhoe
November 23, 2021 By Elizabeth Endara
Climate scientist and author, Katharine Hayhoe
"Whatever's at the top of your priority list is already being affected by climate change today."
Dr. Katharine Hayhoe is a climate scientist, chief scientist for The Nature Conservancy, one of Oxfam's Sisters on the Planet ambassadors, and the author of the book Saving Us: A Climate Scientist's Case for Hope and Healing in a Divided World. We were pleased to speak with Dr. Hayhoe about how to take those first steps into climate activism, how climate change impacts poverty and inequality, dealing with feelings of hopelessness, and why all of our voices matter.
We know Oxfam supporters care about climate change. What would you say to somebody who cares about climate change, but they don't know where to start?
I would say, first of all, you are not alone. Most of us feel exactly the same way. Fifty percent of people feel hopeless and helpless when it comes to climate change, they don't know where to start. And so, because we don't know where to start, we do nothing. The reality is anything we do makes a difference, anything.
The biggest way that we can make a difference is through activating not only our personal carbon footprint, which are the reductions we often think of in our personal life, like reducing food waste, eating more plant-based meals, changing our light bulbs, getting a plug-in car, getting clean sources of energy—these are the things we often think of as our carbon footprint. But when we activate our climate shadow, so to speak, our influence grows far beyond our own personal footprint in both space and time. And how do we activate our climate shadow? By communicating. By talking. By sharing. By engaging with other people on this issue, not to share about science or doom-filled facts, as I talk about in my book, but talking about why it matters here and now in ways that are relevant to you. Whatever's already at the top of your priority list is already being affected by climate change today.
And talk about positive constructive solutions, which might include some that you're doing in your own life. Talk about something that you can do together to make a difference and add your hand to that boulder, get it rolling just a little bit faster down the hill and the faster it goes, the more we look around and we see other people beside us pushing in the same direction, the more that gives us hope. Taking that first little step is so important.
Youth Advocates for Climate Action Philippines (YACAP), convened in 2019, is aPhilippinesnationwide alliance of youth organizations, individuals, and student councils that advocates for immediate global climate action led by the youth. They are a counterpart of Fridays for Future in the Philippines. Oxfam
At Oxfam, we are focused on fighting inequality, the root cause of poverty and injustice. How does climate change affect those issues specifically?
Well, you've hit on an issue that's very near and dear to my own heart, because the reason why I am a climate scientist is because it is a justice issue. I was literally on my way to being an astrophysicist when I had to take an extra class to finish my breadth requirements. And I looked around and there was this brand-new class on climate change. I thought, well, that looks interesting. I was more concerned personally about issues of poverty and hunger and justice and equity, but much to my surprise, I learned that climate change makes all of those issues worse.
Climate change is, as the US military actually calls it, a threat multiplier. In other words, we have all of these concerns we're already dealing with like injustice, poverty, inequity, racism, gender equity. Climate change makes every single one of them worse. Climate change disproportionately affects the poorest and most marginalized, the most vulnerable people. And that's true right here in North America, as well as on the other side of the world.
When there's a heat wave or a flood or a storm, who is most affected? People who are homeless, people who can't pay their power bills, people who live in homes that are not well-insulated, or when the power goes out, they can't afford to buy a generator. As climate changes, we see that drought is reducing crop yields. We see that sea level rise and storms are threatening people's homes and the places they live. We see that climate impacts have already increased the economic gap between the richest and poorest countries in the world by as much as 25 percent. That's already happened. And as climate change exacerbates droughts, decreases crop yields, impacts poor farmers, what happens? Girls get pulled out of school and child marriage rates even increase as climate impacts hit some of the poorest places on the planet.
Another way to think of it is climate change is the hole in the bucket. Climate change is not a separate bucket. If all that was happening, was that the average temperature of the planet was increasing by a few degrees and that was all, who cares? The reason why I care about climate change is because we're trying to pour all of our effort and time and support, everything we have, into this bucket to fix poverty, racism, gender equity, and more, and climate change is the hole in the bottom of the bucket. The hole is getting bigger to the point where we cannot fix any of these other issues that we're trying so hard to work on, if we leave climate change out of the picture. We have to patch the hole.
In Glasgow and London the World Climate March brought the voices of thousands of activists, particularly the most affected people and areas (MAPA), to the streets via video screens, ad-bikes and pedicabs. Andy Aitchison/Oxfam
Oxfam supporters have been trying to get our leaders to take bigger and bolder action on climate change, but while we have some wins, we haven't been seeing all the results we had hoped for. How can we encourage people to keep working and be hopeful?
I know exactly what you mean. I just returned from Glasgow where we had COP26, which is the 26th conference of parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC). The UNFCC was signed in 1992—thirty years ago—and in it, every country in the world, including the US agreed to prevent dangerous human interference with the climate system. And then they have spent 30 years arguing over what is dangerous.
As we speak right now, if you go out to the Western US and British Columbia, and if you talk to people right now who are experiencing historic floods, they would say it's already dangerous. If you go to the Native American tribes that live along the Gulf Coast, where sea level rise and coastal subsidence is endangering their homes and their traditional lands, they would say it's already dangerous. If you talk to the people affected by the heat wave across the Western US this past summer, they would say it's already dangerous. Yet even still, we see people debating over whether they can remove taxpayer subsidies from the wealthiest corporations in the world. Taxpayers subsidize the oil and gas industry in the United States to the tune of $600 billion per year, which exceeds the Pentagon's budget. Yet we are still debating whether those should be removed.
In my book, I talk about how hope is not something that will come to you if you sit there and wait for it. Rather, we need to practice active hope, and active hope means we go out and we look for it. We don't place our hope in a single bill or a single politician, because they will never be enough and they will always disappoint. But when we look around at all of the people; at all of the organizations; all of the cities; when we look at all of the big companies with names that you would recognize like Apple and Microsoft and Nestle and Ikea, who are setting net zero targets and radically reducing their emissions; when we look at organizations like churches or the rotary club; when we look across the spectrum of who all is engaged in climate action, we realize that the giant boulder of climate action is not sitting at the bottom of an impossibly steep cliff with only a few hands and a few bills trying to push it up. That giant boulder is already at the top of the hill and is rolling down in the right direction. And it already has millions of hands on it. If we add our hand, it will go a little faster, and if we add our voice to encourage others to add their hands, it will go even faster.
Yes, if we got climate action into the Build Back Better Bill, as it was originally proposed, it would go a lot faster, but federal policy and legislation is not the only thing, and it's not even really the biggest thing. The biggest thing is when we all together use our voices to show how climate change matters to every single one of us here and now in ways that already matter. Climate action can be taken at every level, in every city, in every school, in every place of work and every neighborhood and every home. How we catalyze that change is by using our voice. The biggest way that we can affect people is through our climate shadow. And that means that everything we do matters. And that was the conclusion of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Thousands of scientists from around the world who study climate change, we look at the direst scenarios of what happens if we don't take action, but here's how the report ended. They concluded every year matters. Every bit of warming matters and because of that, every choice matters and every action matters.
What encouragement can you offer those of us who are in the climate fight right now?
Somebody asked me the other day, "if you would write a sequel to your book, what would be in it?" And I said, "You know, honestly, I think it would just be more amazing stories of more incredible people who are making a difference and who are using their voices."
Because, when you look at all the ways our society has changed, it didn't change because somebody who is big and powerful and rich and influential just sort of woke up one morning and decided, "oh, the world has to be different so I'll make a change."
No, in every single case, it was because very ordinary people who have no particular power or wealth or fame, decided the world could and should and must be different. And they use their voice to share that vision with others. Today we know just a few of their names, like the Nelson Mandelas and the Martin Luther king Jr.s of the world. We know a few of them, but you know what? There are thousands and thousands more people who use their voices. And it was the power of those collective voices that changed the world. We are the only ones who've changed the world before, and we're the ones who can and must do it again.
You can get involved in Oxfam's work on climate change right now, by signing the petition to tell President Biden: It's time to urgently reduce emissions and protect the most vulnerable.

Chris' strategy for increasing sales is to start with a strong and happy team of motivated staff.
Chris has had an incredibly varied background, which makes him an especially valued leader on our team. After studying pre-med and physical therapy, Chris started his career as a personal trainer and sports coach. His love of health and sports led him to Nike, where he wound up working on the marketing team for six years. In addition to his work with Nike, Chris started a business as a general contractor, and after that business grew to a nearly unmanageable state—and after Chris wanted to devote more time to his wife and son—he left the business behind for a Branch Manager role at Johnstone Supply. Several years in, when he heard CHC was hiring a management role, he jumped on the opportunity and we couldn't be happier. It really pays to have someone with such a broad range of experiences and passions leading the team.
Outside of work, Chris takes traveling seriously. He and his wife, Amber, love taking an annual international trip. When they're not abroad, they're camping in their teardrop trailer, driving out to the beach with the dog, or attending their son Zak's sporting events. Chris and his family love all of the tasty restaurants and outdoor beauty that Portland has to offer!

San Antonio Stars head coach Dan Hughes reacts during the second half of a game against the Connecticut Sun on June 19, 2016, in Uncasville, Conn.
WASHINGTON — Emma Meesseman and Tierra Ruffin-Pratt each scored 14 points, and the Washington Mystics beat the Stars 84-67 in a Wednesday matinee to move above .500 for the first time this season.
The Stars made a field goal on their first possession of the first quarter, but they didn't score again until the 4:26 mark and trailed 20-4. The Mystics were ahead 24-7 at the end of the quarter — marking a season-low for points in a quarter by the Stars — and led by double figures the rest of the way.
Kayla Alexander scored 12 points for the Stars (3-12), who went on a 17-4 run to pull within 75-61 but remain winless on the road (0-7).
Ivory Latta added 12 points for Washington (9-8), which has won seven of its last nine games. The Mystics made 30 field goals on a season-high 24 assists and hit all 15 of their free throws.

Q: Different Kinds of passing objects to Arrays Is there a difference between creating an object and then passing it to ArrayList Or directly creating an object in ArrayList.add method?
In case of memory use and performance?
Example:
ArrayList<ClassX> arrayList = new ArrayList();
//Type 1:
ClassX object = new ClassX();
arrayList.add(object);
//Type 2:
arrayList.add(new ClassX());

A: Basically there are no differences between the 2 lines but the second one reduces a unnecessary variable creation. In the first one you can modify the first object since you have the reference to it.

A: Logically? No - Both serve the same purpose.
Space? Yes. In type1: A reference will get created in stack hence extra memory allocation. And the object can now be accessed by either the reference variable or array list index.

Kids these days aren't growing up because parents are doing so many things for them. I, for one, think this is crazy – and am raising my son to think and behave differently. He has had age appropriate chores since age 4 and continues to do things for himself. He's done his own laundry since he was 11 – woken himself up for school and gotten ready all on his own since age 8, and at age 15, cooks dinner for the family at least one night a week.
My son isn't happy about having to do all these things all the time – because sometimes he just wants to be lazy and relax like anyone else. But the reality is, what I'm asking of him isn't much. These are all things he'll be expected to do as an adult, and he won't live with me forever. I don't want him to become dependent on his future partner to handle all these things for him – because that future partner will resent him for it, and he should be able to take care of himself.
We also work on financial literacy with his debit card, and pretty soon, I'll be hiring him to work alongside me in my business – handling my social media profiles, graphics creation, and functioning like a virtual assistant to further those life lessons.
Chores aren't a punishment. They are designed to help your children take responsibility and be held accountable for their choices. At age 2, my son and I would put his toys "night night" before bed every night. This involved picking up all the toys he'd played with in his room and putting them in their beds – which was nothing more than the toy box. He got to pick a stuffed animal or two to keep with him for the night, too. It was a nightly routine he looked forward to and did without complaint. As he aged, I began to add more age-appropriate tasks for him to do and rewarded him accordingly.
Children imitate what they see. Sometimes, it's easier to do something yourself, but if you work alongside your child and teach them how to do things you normally do – such as loading the dishwasher, sweeping the floor, etc. they gain skills, and eventually, you get a little help around the house. As they get older, show them the proper way to do things, even if it means doing it several times, so they get it right. This way, they learn not to cut corners.
As your child shows interest in things, encourage them to set goals and work toward them. My son decided he wanted to build a YouTube channel. We set some rules – such as not using his name and showing his face on screen since he was so young. I set him up with a screen recorder and taught him how to make his videos. We worked together on his channel art and so forth. He abandoned the channel later in pursuit of his music talent – and now plays guitar, bass, and violin. He'll use the skills from building the first YouTube channel to launch a music-centered channel when he's ready.
It's our job as parents to prepare our children for life without us – to give them the skills they need to function as happy, healthy, adults. They can't do it if we're doing everything for them!
