A: One easier way to do this is to use runOnUIThread(Runnable) function. This is a function of Activity class for updating UI. I find using it more convenient than creating handlers/messages for communicating with UI thread. Your code can be changed to (I have not test yet!):
public void updateProgress(int downloadedSize, int totalSize) {
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
        int percentage = downloadedSize / totalSize * 100;
        String stringy = "Download Progress: " + percentage + "%";
    TextView textytext = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.downloadscreentextview);
    textytext.setText(stringy);
}});
}

Let me know if you have any error.

A: You are trying to update the progress from worker(or background thread) where it doesnot get reference to your views. It has to be done on UI thread.
Try using AsynTask , makes life easier with threads.
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html
or
if you want to stick with normal threads,
Check this code,
http://huuah.com/android-progress-bar-and-thread-updating/
You might have to use messageHandler to send message to progressbar, and then update.

This stool was made for the iconic Chieftain Chair, one of Finn Juhl's absolute masterpieces.
Today the Chieftain is perceived as one of the most important exponents of the Danish Modern movement in the US during the 1950s. For this reason, Finn Juhl is often considered the father of Danish Modern.
Inspired by modern art, the Chieftain Chair with its organic shapes, liberated itself from traditional Danish furniture design and strict functionalism in both shape, construction and materials.
Both the Chieftain Chair, Sofa and Stool are manufactured in walnut and are upholstered in leather.

Can you remember how disaster recovery (DR) used to be achieved for companies before virtualisation technologies were available?
For a company's server estate, it normally meant deploying an expensive identical redundant physical server at a DR site with a 'hot standby' 1:1 mapping of server hardware. Typically the server needed to be the same brand, model, configuration (CPU and RAM), firmware version, operating system version and patch level.
Most of the time the servers and applications in the DR site also required access to physical storage arrays and tape backup/restore facilities. In the event of a disaster, the storage data and server apps would need to be quickly recovered using notoriously unreliable data tapes, disk-based backup, or via real-time replication.
Of course in the 'physical' world the reality was that DR was rarely invoked, required many complex procedures, took a long time to plan and complete and had huge capex and opex costs associated for manpower, hardware and facilities.
So, what's the best way to take advantage of virtualisation technology for DR?
Most organisations have now made use of hypervisors, such as VMware vSphere or Microsoft Hyper-V, which enable a single physical server to run multiple virtual servers on top of the hypervisor. Hypervisors can eliminate hardware compatibility problems, VMs run on virtual hardware that is emulated by the hypervisor and there are no hardware compatibility issues caused by differences in the underlying physical hardware.
From a disaster recovery perspective, a hypervisor platform deployed at a primary site can site can easily be expanded and built upon with a subset of the virtualisation infrastructure components deployed at a secondary site. When deploying the virtualisation platform at both the primary site and the secondary sites, organisations can use different physical hardware without having to deal with compatibility issues. This portability means the heavy burden of a 1:1 physical server mapping between the production and DR sites is eradicated.
Organisations are then able to replicate virtual machines using storage replication or in-built virtualisation replication to the hypervisor platform at the secondary DR site. Replication will provide a mirror copy of the virtual machines from the primary site to the secondary DR site, allowing the second site to take over in a DR scenario.
The actual failover of virtual machines from the primary to the secondary site in the event of a disaster can be a manual, semi-automated or fully-automated process based on vendor and operation toolsets which use scripting and orchestration. Failover testing and recovery can also be further enhanced using bolt on automation products like VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM), which can build complex recovery plans that can test or invoke DR failover and failback at the push of a button.
In short, the main advantage of using a virtualised platform for disaster recovery is the portability of virtual machines being decoupled from the underlying hardware, which allows for a far more flexible DR capability to be realised, reducing costs, providing increased flexibility, and ensuring recovery point objectives (RPO) and recovery time objectives (RTOs) can be met when compared to traditional DR methods. If organisations have not already done so, they should review their current DR methodologies, procedures and capabilities to understand how they can leverage their investment in virtualisation technologies to provide cost effective, flexible DR platforms.

Review: One for the Road by Kate Hawthorne
Buy Links: Amazon | iBooks | Amazon UK
Max grew up in the small town of St. Jack's Bay and couldn't wait to get out. Ten years ago, he left the town — and his lover, Rome — behind. The men were teenagers in love and Max's departure broke Rome's heart. Max has never quite settled since leaving home, and neither man has been able to move past their feelings for one another. Now, Max's mother has passed away and he is returning home for the first time since the funeral. Neither man knows how to handle seeing each other once again, but in a small town, avoiding each other is near impossible, particularly as Max's twin sister is Rome's best friend and an employee at his bar.
Rome and Max had always had plans to leave town together and Rome hasn't gotten over being left behind. But that doesn't stop him from still loving Max, even as he is still so angry. Seeing Max again brings up all those old feelings and the chemistry between them is just as hot as ever. The men can't resist falling back into bed together, even as Max is clear he will be leaving town once the memorial service is done. The guys are so good together, but with Max once again planning to leave Rome behind, the men have to figure out if this is just going to be a short fling, or if there is any chance they can find their way back together for good.
One for the Road is an intense, character-driven, lovers-reunited story. The book takes us deep into the relationship between Max and Rome as they navigate seeing each other again for the first time in ten years and figuring out if there is a way to make things work the second time around. Hawthorne really delves into the emotions here for both men as they are both rather stuck. Neither has been able to move on since Max left ten years ago, and they so clearly still have feelings for each other. I could really feel how strongly these guys were connected, even after so much time, and how intensely they feel about each other. We slowly see Max and Rome move from fearful they will run into each other, to working through that first contact, to giving in to the intense attraction and acting on it. All the while, there is this ticking clock, as Max still plans to leave. On top of that, they need to figure out how they work together as more experienced adults, versus the teens they once were together. Back then, both men were new to kink and had no idea what they were doing or really wanted, and now they are revisiting it through the lens of more experience, which I thought added a nice additional layer to their dynamic. So this is an angsty, emotional read and I think Hawthorne does really well diving deep into the nuances of their relationship.
The story is very focused on the present, and while we do learn over time more about what happened all those years ago, as well as what the guys have been doing in the intervening years, it is not explored in as much depth. I did wish for a little more clarity on what Max has been doing in all this time he has been gone, as we know he has never really settled. But I also can see why Hawthorne has honed in on the present relationship and focused on exploring that dynamic, as it gives some additional intensity to the present-day situation.
I'll be honest that I struggled a little here fully warming up to Max. I think it's partly because we see how much he hurt Rome by leaving and it takes time to really understand why Max ran out (or even for Max to understand fully himself). But also Max not only left town and left Rome behind, he also didn't speak to his mother or twin sister in that time. Even as his mother was dying, Max refused to come home and had to be pushed into even returning for the funeral. So I found him a little selfish and I wanted to see him make amends more. Not just with Rome, which he eventually does, but also with his sister. She is a major side character and a link between both Rome and Max, so I feel like the way he treats her and the impact of his leaving on her is something that needed some closure.
Overall, I enjoyed the way this story really digs deep into the lovers reunited trope. There is just a nice intensity and really well explored dynamic here between them. It takes a while for these guys to find their way, but it ends up really rewarding and I was rooting for them to come back together.

Home Insights Patenting the quantum realm
Patenting the quantum realm
Quantum mechanics is one of my favourite areas of physics because it is weird, counter-intuitive, and fascinating! This fundamental pillar of modern science dates back to the early 1900s and has been enrapturing, confusing and frustrating both academics and university students ever since. Indeed, the understanding gained from this area of physics has already contributed to major advances in electronics, GPS navigation and computing.
What is more, many aspects of quantum theory, which have the potential to significantly improve current technology (for example quantum entanglement and quantum tunnelling), are yet to be successfully incorporated into commercial devices. The advantageous effects arising from quantum theory can be challenging to demonstrate under controlled conditions in the laboratory, and making devices on a large scale which can consistently and effectively harness these effects has, up until now, been a step too far.
However, technology is catching up, and many large technology companies are starting to make use of quantum mechanical effects which until recently have existed only as scribblings on a university white board. In fact, as reported in a recent article in the Economist, these companies are confident that a new raft of 'quantum devices', which have the capability to harness the more exotic quantum effects, are just round the corner.
To investigate this fledgling area of technology, we decided to have a look at the number of patent applications directed to quantum mechanical effects. Patents, after all, are the bridge between scientific theory and commercial reality. As such, if companies are beginning produce these quantum devices, or are planning to in the near future, this should be reflected in the number of patent applications that they are filing.
More specifically, we had a look at the global number of patent applications directed to quantum technology that have been filed between 1995 and 2015, and they are shown in the graph below.
Over this period, in most years, there has been an appreciable increase in the number of patent applications being filed. These numbers seem to provide a clear confirmation that companies are investing heavily in this new field of technology. The trend we can see from the figures is consistent with companies that have started to, or are intending to, commercialise quantum mechanical technology and are building patent portfolios to protect their market position.
Interestingly, the most active area of technology seems to be in television. Companies such as Samsung, LG, TCL and Shenzhen China Star are all filing significant numbers of patent applications directed to 'quantum dots' capable of efficiently producing light for use in a television display. Indeed, these 'authentic quantum dot displays' are tipped as the replacement for conventional electro-optical television displays. Thus, all the major players in the television market are ramping up their patent filings as they compete to incorporate this quantum mechanical technology into their latest television units.
However, television is not the only place quantum theory is finding practical application. A recently published patent application filed by Apple is directed to smart phone cases that make use of quantum tunnelling to eliminate the need for push buttons. Further, a number of patent applications have been filed in recent years directed to the use of quantum entanglement in encryption coding.
Thus, there appears little doubt that technology is catching up with the science. As a result, we are beginning to see quantum physics making its way into everyday technology. As technology continues to progress, we can expect intellectual property in this space to become increasingly active – with revolutionary new quantum devices at stake, companies will inevitably strive to patent the quantum realm.

Old enmity tips Lebanon into new crisis
By Tom Perry, Laila Bassam
BEIRUT (Reuters) - An old enmity between the Lebanese president and the speaker of parliament is fuelling a political row that threatens to paralyze government and inflame sectarian tension before elections in May.

The dispute between President Michel Aoun, a Christian, and the Shi'ite speaker, Nabih Berri, reflects personal hostility dating to the 1975-90 civil war. It also touches on the balance of power between their sects in a system that shares government participation among religious groups.
The tension reached boiling point on Monday as footage of Aoun's son-in-law, Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil, calling Berri "a thug" circulated on social media.
Berri's camp reacted with fury, saying Bassil had crossed "red lines". Supporters of Berri from the Amal movement he has led for decades protested by setting tyres ablaze in Beirut.
Gunfire was heard as Berri supporters gathered near offices of Aoun's Free Patriotic Movement (FPM) in a Christian area east of Beirut. Soldiers deployed to contain tensions, security sources said. The sides traded accusations over the incident. Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri urged calm.
The crisis has spiraled since December, when Aoun signed a decree promoting dozens of army officers without the signature of Shi'ite Finance Minister Ali Hassan Khalil, a member of Amal and one of his closest aides. Berri has accused Aoun of exceeding his powers at the expense of other sects.
The row has shattered the rare moment of national unity that saved Lebanon from strife during the crisis over Hariri's resignation in November.
The tensions have also shaken Aoun's ties with Iran-backed Hezbollah, whose links to Berri and Amal run much deeper than its political alliance with the FPM, which was founded by Aoun and is now led by Bassil.
Bassil expressed regret for his remarks in an interview with the pro-Hezbollah al-Akhbar newspaper, but that did little to resolve the dispute.
TAKING LEBANON "TOWARD DANGERS"
Berri and Aoun, both in their 80s, were civil war enemies. The conflict ended in 1990 when the Syrian army forced Aoun, then head of one of two rival governments, from the presidential palace and into exile.
Berri emerged from the war as one of the most powerful figures in Lebanon. Aoun only returned to Lebanon in 2005 when the era of Syrian military presence was ended with the assassination of Rafik al-Hariri, which triggered pressure on Damascus to withdraw troops from Lebanon.
Helped by his alliance with Hezbollah, Aoun finally realized his long-held ambition of becoming president in 2016 in a deal that made Hariri prime minister. Berri and Amal MPs were among the few not to support Aoun's candidacy.
But and Berri cooperated to help resolve the crisis caused by Hariri's unexpected resignation in November. And Hariri, Lebanon's top Sunni, said he was now working on an initiative to end the Aoun-Berri standoff. "The country is not in need of escalation or crisis," he said.
Hezbollah rejected what it described as an insult to Berri. "This language takes the country toward dangers it could do without," Hezbollah said in a statement.
The FPM accused Amal members of attacking the FPM office east of Beirut, saying they had thrown rocks, burned tyres and opened fire, forcing guards "to defend themselves". Amal denied this.
Hariri hopes to secure international support for Lebanon's security forces at a Rome conference in February, and billions of dollars of investment in its struggling economy at a Paris conference in late March or early April.
But the Aoun-Berri standoff could rumble on until the parliamentary elections, Lebanon's first since 2009, analysts say.

SF/F/H Crowd Funding Roundup For 12/08/2012
Posted on December 8, 2012 by James Aquilone in Crowd Funding Roundup // 1 Comment
Crowd funding is the in thing for obtaining money to fund a variety of projects, with Kickstarter being the most prominent of these sites. With new projects going live daily, it's a chore to keep up with, let alone find, interesting genre projects. The Crowd Funding Roundup will be our effort to bring projects we think are interesting to your attention so you can, if you so choose, decide to help out. These posts are a collaborative effort between James Aquilone and JP Frantz.
Triumph Over Tragedy: an anthology for the victims of Sandy
An anthology with the proceeds going to help victims of Hurricane Sandy.
Why it's interesting: After witnessing the devastation of Hurricane Sandy, author R.T. Kaelin decided to put together anthology of donated stories. Triumph Over Tragedy, whose theme is "triumph over tragedy," contains a wide range of genres — fantasy, science fiction, mystery, pulp, romance and action. So far, 40 writers — including Robert Silverberg, Timothy Zahn, Michael Stackpole and Elizabeth Bear — have donated short stories to the anthology. One-hundred percent of the contributions will go to the Red Cross. The ebook is $7.
Shadows and Reflections: a Roger Zelazny Tribute Anthology
What's it about?An anthology of stories set in the various universes created by Roger Zelazny.
Why it's interesting: Shadows and Reflections is being edited by Roger's son Trent Zelazny and publisher Warren Lapine. They're looking for stories set in any of the universes that Zelazny created, except for the Amber universe. Editors will include stories by Roger's "better known friends," but if the campaign reaches its $10,000 goal they plan to open the anthology to unsolicited submissions.
Project London
Project London is a feature-length, science-fiction, action-adventure movie.
Why it's interesting: The movie features 774 visual effects and was made by more than 250 volunteers around the world using open-source software. The filmmakers don't go into detail about the plot, only saying it's a "good old fashioned science fiction movie." It seems it's all about the effects, and they are quite impressive, especially considering that the movie was done on a micro-budget.
"Tailly"
Tailly is a wearable tail that wags when you get excited.
Why it's interesting: Tailly uses sensors on the inside of its belt to measure your heart rate and reacts accordingly — when your heart rate increases, the tail starts wagging, and when it decreases, the tail swings slowly. The makers suggest wearing Tailly to parties or on dates to "express your true feelings through the wagging tail." Tails come in white, black, brown and gray. They start at £60 (about $96).
The Shadow Cabal
The Shadow Cabal is an independently-produced, feature-length fantasy film, packed with tons of action, magic, suspense, orcs, elves, dwarves, undead, dragons, demons, mermaids, cultists, and some humans too. And a couple of gods thrown in for good measure. We are filmmakers, but we are also huge fantasy fans. This is the film we'd love to see. The Shadow Cabal has been compared to The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, and has been called "live-action World of Warcraft", but the truth is that there is nothing like it out there, and we're thrilled with what we're seeing.
Why it's interesting: SF isn't the only genre getting the indie movie treatment. Fantasy makes a big splash with The Shadow Cabal. Watching the trailer, I was impressed by how well the film looks. The movie has already been shot and edited (the trailer above is actual movie footage), the creators are using Kickstarter to fund a visually heavy effects sequence to finish off the film, which can be yours for $15 for the HD digital version, or $10 for the digital SD version. You can see all the projects the creative team have worked on here.
Punktown: An RPG Setting for Call of Cthulhu® and BRP Gaming
Punktown: An RPG Setting for Call of Cthulhu® and BRP is a book that will allow players of Chaosium's famous award-winning system to explore a dark, futuristic world fraught with untold perils. If you're a cyberpunk fan, if you're a horror fan, or if you're both, you'll want to explore the pages of this book.The book will be written for the famous BRP system, compatible with Call of Cthulhu and Chaosium's many other game settings, so if you're looking to expand your world, and add options, look no further than Punktown!
Why it's interesting: Jeffrey Thomas' Punktown merged with the Cthulhu mythos? Holy crap what's not to love?! $10 gets you the PDF of the rulebook. That's terribly inciting right there…
1969 – The Space Race
You are in charge of the space program of one of the nations competing to be the first to the Moon. You have to plan your research strategy, hire brilliant scientists to improve your technical achievements, and perform training missions, all with the ultimate goal of delivering a man to the Moon… before the end of 1969!
Why it's interesting: A boardgame about the space race is right up my alley. Usually, boardgames on Kickstarter are trying to get the game published. Not so with 1969, it's already been published, the Kickstarter is to fund a second printing of the game. $50 may seem a lot, but you get quite a bit in the box and it's on par with other boardgames I've seen on Kickstarter. Heck, that's pretty much par for the course for larger boardgames in general.
Persia Blues
Minoo Shirazi is a rebellious young Iranian woman, struggling to define herself amidst the strict social conventions of an oppressive regime, and the differing wishes of an overbearing father. Minoo Shirazi is also a free-spirited adventurer in a fantasy world, a place where aspects of modern America and ancient Persia meld into a unique landscape.
And yet, neither of these women are the true Minoo Shirazi.
Persia Blues is a character-driven slice of life tale, combining fantastical elements with contemporary politics, while exploring the universal themes of tradition, family, guilt, and freedom.
Why it's interesting: If you're looking for something a little different to read, Persia Blues seems to fit the bill. A story told in comic form, featuring a female protagonist involved in a fantastical story that takes place in an Iranian setting certainly sounds interesting. $20 gets you the physical book.
Forsaken Fortress – the survival RPG
A special RPG in which you assemble your team, build and manage your base, collect resources, and survive in a post-apocalyptic world
Why it's interesting: The idea of this game really interests me. Set in an apocalyptic world, you have to build your underground base, scavenge for resources and build a starship to leave the Earth. Forsaken Fortress blends RPG, survival and RTS elements into something that, on the surface, seems very intriguing. $15 gets you a DRM free digital copy and the October 2013 delivery date seems fairly reasonable.

We'd go to our graves defending low-maintenance, quick-cooking, always-flavorful chicken thighs as the best part of the bird. This recipe harnesses their power by using the fat that renders when they're seared on the stove to soften thick rounds of leeks and spring peas for a built-in side. Leave the chicken uncovered when it goes into the oven so the skin crisps up while cooking.

Academic Field of Health Sciences
OBJECTIVES: Minor cardiac biomarker elevation after percutaneous coronary intervention has long-term prognostic significance. The sirolimus-eluting stent (Cypher) has been reported to require high postinflation pressure for optimal implantation. We examined the incidence of minor cardiac biomarker elevation induced by Cypher implantation. METHODS: We measured the serum concentration of cardiac troponin-I (cTnI) 24 h after stenting and those of creatine kinase isoenzyme MB and creatine kinase before, immediately after, and 6, 12 and 24 h after implantation in patients who underwent Cypher stent (CS group; n=53) or bare metal stent (BMS group; n=57) implantation. RESULTS: No significant difference in clinical background was observed between the two groups. When a cutoff cTnI value of 0.50 ng/ml was used, the CS group showed a significantly higher incidence of cTnI elevation (35.8%, 19/53) than the BMS group (14.0%, 8/57) (P<0.05). Similarly, the incidence of cTnI 0.03 ng/ml tended to be higher in the CS group (88.7%, 47/53) than in the BMS group (73.7%, 42/57: 0.05<P<0.10). Furthermore, the CS group showed significantly higher cTnI levels than the BMS group (1.32±2.38 vs. 0.34±0.91 ng/ml. P<0.001). Essentially, similar results were obtained for serum creatine kinase isoenzyme MB and creatine kinase. Among clinical, lesion and procedural characteristics, postinflation pressure for stenting was significantly higher only in the CS group (18.2±2.8 atm) than in the BMS group (14.0±2.7 atm) (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The results demonstrated that CS implantation increases the incidence of minor cardiac biomarker elevation compared with BMS. The difference in postinflation pressure could account for the results.

Furthermore, the CS group showed significantly higher cTnI levels than the BMS group (1.32±2.38 vs. 0.34±0.91 ng/ml. P<0.001). Essentially, similar results were obtained for serum creatine kinase isoenzyme MB and creatine kinase. Among clinical, lesion and procedural characteristics, postinflation pressure for stenting was significantly higher only in the CS group (18.2±2.8 atm) than in the BMS group (14.0±2.7 atm) (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The results demonstrated that CS implantation increases the incidence of minor cardiac biomarker elevation compared with BMS. The difference in postinflation pressure could account for the results.",

N2 - OBJECTIVES: Minor cardiac biomarker elevation after percutaneous coronary intervention has long-term prognostic significance. The sirolimus-eluting stent (Cypher) has been reported to require high postinflation pressure for optimal implantation. We examined the incidence of minor cardiac biomarker elevation induced by Cypher implantation. METHODS: We measured the serum concentration of cardiac troponin-I (cTnI) 24 h after stenting and those of creatine kinase isoenzyme MB and creatine kinase before, immediately after, and 6, 12 and 24 h after implantation in patients who underwent Cypher stent (CS group; n=53) or bare metal stent (BMS group; n=57) implantation. RESULTS: No significant difference in clinical background was observed between the two groups. When a cutoff cTnI value of 0.50 ng/ml was used, the CS group showed a significantly higher incidence of cTnI elevation (35.8%, 19/53) than the BMS group (14.0%, 8/57) (P<0.05). Similarly, the incidence of cTnI 0.03 ng/ml tended to be higher in the CS group (88.7%, 47/53) than in the BMS group (73.7%, 42/57: 0.05<P<0.10).

Exciting Times At Tom Oliver Nutrition
It's been pretty hectic here at Tom Oliver Nutrition lately. Exciting, but hectic.
This month we're heading to The British Golf Show on September 17th & 18th at Wycombe Air Park. We'll be offering visitors samples of our range, demonstrations, product testing and a competition. Plus there will be tips on how to improve your health and golf. So all in all, plenty of reasons to come along and catch us at Booth C72 on both days.
We're also delighted to announce that we are now going global! As well as being stocked in over 30 UK Golf Clubs, supplements have been making inroads into other golf pro shops across Singapore and the UAE. We're thrilled to be able to help people with their nutrition choices on a much wider-scale, and without a doubt our Partnership with The PGA has helped us achieve this level of success since we began our journey in 2015 – which only seems like yesterday, let alone six years!
In other news, it's been fantastic to see our friends and partners Justin Walters and Dean Burmester in the news recently. Dean is a two-time European Tour winner and finished comfortably in the top 10 at the Omega European Masters. With the easing of Covid-19 restrictions it's been a fantastic season to work with Dean and see how our products are helping him perform at elite level. Not only this, but it's been a great insight into the professional golfing world with the superb feedback he's been giving us on our products. He's been a great partner of ours for a while now and he has a particular soft spot for our Chocolate Protein Shake and Omega 3 tablets:
"I'd been looking for some good on-course nutrition and the protein shake really helps me maintain my energy and concentration throughout the round".
What motivates us here at Tom Oliver Nutrition is results. And this year we've seen some phenomenal achievements by Dean. He has had a stellar 2021 season so far on the European Tour, making the cut on 14 out 19 tournaments he's played in so far, and is currently ranked at 25 with a Stroke Average of 69. It's so nice to see how our products are helping Dean's performances on such a massive stage!
So yes, hectic but exciting. Really exciting, in fact. In our eyes though, the best thing about all of it this is that things can only get better. Ever since I founded Tom Oliver Nutrition back in 2015 it's been small incremental changes but recently things are looking like they're about to really take off…
We'll touch base again just after our trip to The British Golf Show later this month. We're looking forward to meeting you there but until we meet again – stay fresh and stay healthy!

NEVER has there been a greater sense of urgency for the world's youth to unite and promote equity and justice for all. NEVER have the voices of today's youth been more powerful, vocal, resilient & impactful. NEVER has there been a Global Content & Music Festival Initiative, specifically organized FOR and WITH the world's youth, with an emphasis on raising awareness about culturally relevant and pressing social causes to combat social injustice…UNTIL NOW!
Buy your tickets TODAY and join us in Rome for a unique and truly unforgettable experience.
ALL OUR LOVE, KINDNESS and GRATITUDE
TEAM YOUTHMUNDUS
TICKETS AVAILABLE HERE
A New Global Short Content & Music Festival for Youth!
Our Foundation, Values and Mission
Our mission is to raise awareness about important and time sensitive social issues, affecting today's global youth. Our fundamental objectives are to gather, connect and inspire young voices from around the globe to speak up and stand in solidarity to encourage YOUTH to believe that change is possible by enforcing and promoting equity, respect, tolerance, love, solidarity, authenticity, peace, justice, unity, safety, inclusion and humanity.
Our values are inspired by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These 17 goals serve as a blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. SDGs address the global challenges we face today, including those related to poverty, inequality, discrimination, climate, education, violence, human rights, environmental degradation, prosperity, peace, war conflicts, gun violence and justice.
For YouthMundus 2019 edition, we will have our focus on two main SDG related topics; one being climate and sustainable lifestyle, the other one being mental well-being and human rights.
More About YouthMundus Festival Initiative
The festival will take place over the course of long weekend and will include a diverse lineup of artists alongside various activities such as: visual, digital and expressive art installations; performances and exhibitions; organic, green and eco-friendly activities; charity and good causes activities; interactive, multimedia, and immersive high-tech activities; awareness raising panel discussions, workshops and fan meetings, including autograph signings and photo booth areas.
Each year, one festival theme song will be chosen for its powerful and socially impactful message, and the artist(s) will serve as the festival's honoree(s). The theme song must address important social issues ranging anywhere from gun violence, climate change, LGBTQI+ issues, women's rights, human rights to mental illness, and more.
In addition to the theme song, we are aiming to select global films, from as many different countries as possible, with a 50/50 female to male director ratio, addressing similar social topics as the theme song. There will be an award ceremony at the end of the festival, where we will choose the best film in different theme categories.
Your voice is important to us, and we have therefore created a special Wishing Well where you get to request which other artists, bands, activists, partners and activities you would like to see included at YouthMundus, and why.

Q: Java performance issue I've got a question related to java performance and method execution.
In my app there are a lot of place where I have to validate some parameter, so I've written a Validator class and put all the validation methods into it. Here is an example:
public class NumberValidator {
    public static short shortValidator(String s) throws ValidationException{
        try{
            short sh = Short.parseShort(s);

            if(sh < 1){
                throw new ValidationException();
            }
            return sh;
        }catch (Exception e) {
            throw new ValidationException("The parameter is wrong!");
        }
    }
...

But I'm thinking about that. Is this OK? It's OO and modularized, but - considering performance - is it a good idea?
What if I had awful lot of invocation at the same time? The snippet above is short and fast, but there are some methods that take more time.
What happens when there are a lot of calling to a static method or an instance method in the same class and the method is not synchronized? All the calling methods have to fall in line and the JVM executes them sequentially?
Is it a good idea to have some class that are identical to the above-mentioned and randomly call their identical methods? I think it is not, because "Don't repeat yourself " and "Duplication is Evil" etc. But what about performance?
Thanks is advance.

A: On reentrancy of your method: if it's static, it doesn't hold any state, so it's perfectly safe.
On performance: look at your use cases.  Since you're validating Strings, I can only assume you are validating user input.  In any case, the number of simultaneous users of your system is not probable to incur a performance bottleneck.

A: Just two comments:
1) Factoring out validation into methods may in fact improve performance a little. As far as I know, the JIT compiler is designed to detect frequent method invocations. The validation methods are therefore good candidates for JIT optimization.
2) Try avoiding 'catch(Exception e)'. This is not recommended since you are capturing all kinds of RuntimeException as well. If you have a bug in one of the non-trivial validations, you may throw a ValidationException that hides a bug in the code.

A: Not sure what are your concern.
Since you mentioned the method not beeing synchronized I suppose you have concurrent invocations from multiple threads.
And since the method is not sychronized any invocation can be executed concurrently without problems.
For sure you won't get any performance improvements by copy and paste this method in the calling classes. May be you would reduce performance because your code size will increase and will waste space in che processor cache, but for such a short method I think it's a trascurable effect.

A: Are you experiencing performance problems?
Make the code easy to maintain first, and if it's not living up to expectations, it'll be easy to read and easy to refactor.
If you make the code optimized for speed on every choice, you'll often wind up with something unreadable, and have to start from scratch to fix simple bugs.
That said, your method is a static, and will only need to be initialized once.  That is the fast version.  :-)

A: I'm suspicious of this code, not so much on performance grounds as that I don't think it is successfully abstracting out anything that deserves abstraction.
If it is for checking user input, it replaces reasonable error messages like 'maximum number of widgets allowed is 9999' with 'ValidationException'. And if you add something like arguments (or try/catch clauses) to get the messages right in context, then almost certainly the required call-site code is more complex, harder to write and maintain, than the straightforward way of doing things.
If it is for internal sanity checking, you may well start to lose meaningful performance, and certainly greatly increase complexity and bugginess, if you are passing arguments round as strings all over the place and continually parsing and validating them.

On September 7-8, 1769, Gaspar de Portola traveled through the San Luis Obispo area on his way to rediscover the Bay of Monterey. The expedition's diarist, Padre Juan Crespi, recorded the name given to this area by the soldiers as Ilano de los Osos, or the Level of the Bears (Bear Plain) as this was an area with an abundance of bears. Since then, various translations of Crespi's diary have called this area La Canada de los Osos (The Canyon of the Bears) which has been further mistranslated as the Valley of the Bears.
Father Junipero Serra decided that this area would be an ideal place for a fifth mission. There were abundant supplies of food and water, the climate was very mild and the local Chumash were very friendly. With soldiers, muleteers and pack animals carrying supplies, Father Serra set out on a journey to the area. On September 1, 1772 he celebrated the first Mass with a cross erected near San Luis Creek. The next day he departed for San Diego, leaving Fr. Jose Cavaller with the difficult task of building the mission. Fr. Cavaller, five soldiers and two neophytes began building what is today called Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa.


David de Rothschild among plastic bottles.
He worked with a team to make a boat out of plastic bottles.
David de Rothschild is an adventurer, an environmentalist, and an explorer. He has traveled across Antarctica, set a speed record crossing the Greenland ice cap, and reached the North Pole with hungry polar bears following him. He also sailed to Australia in a boat made from recycled plastic bottles!
It is a project that he hopes will change the whole boat making industry. The scientists and engineers have created a process that will kick-start ideas and get people thinking in a whole new way about how boats are made and new uses for plastic trash.
I was very inquisitive, curious, and mischievous. I was always asking questions. Asking questions really led me to where I am today. Asking questions leads you on adventures and adventures are breeding grounds for stories. From stories we create our dreams. Adventures can be spending time with your friends in a tent in the backyard. Kids are the agents of change. It's important to remember that nothing is impossible.
I don't know what that means. I don't ever really have a "normal" day. My day usually starts very early in the morning and ends very late at night. I spend a lot of time talking to people about Plastiki, writing, responding to lots of e-mails, and meeting with scientists and engineers working on the boat. And I take time to stay fit and healthy—so it's a very full day.
What do you do for fun or to be silly?
I am always silly! It is essential. Whether I am playing jokes on a friend or playing at the pier, I am always smiling and being silly. I always think about how fortunate I am to be involved in this project.
What's the best place you've ever traveled to?
The best place is the place that I haven't traveled to. The world is so vast. I mean I'd love to go to Madagascar and back down to Antarctica again. But every place is an adventure. So ask me that again when I am 70 years old!
What's the best piece of advice anyone ever gave you that you can share with others?
There are two really. One is to be honest. Always treat other people the way you would want to be treated. And the second one is don't be afraid to fail. Don't be afraid to make a mistake. You aren't going to know if you don't try.
My uncle is my hero. He is Peter Robeson and an Olympic show jumper.
I grew up on a farm and we all dreamed about being veterinarians. I have two dogs that go everywhere with me and sleep in my bed and on my head. One is a miniature schnauzer named Nesta, and the other is an English bull terrier named Smudge. But I still dream all the time and I think it's important to let your mind take you where you want to go. And then act on them. It's also important to pay attention in school. Looking back, I would have paid more attention in biology and geography.
I studied natural medicine, or naturopathy, and it led me to questions of why we use the things we do and thoughts of you are what you breathe. These kinds of questions led me to where I am today and led me on an adventure.


Tom Brady suspension has defamed both Tom Brady as well as New England Patriots. There was a strict action taken by National Football League against Tom Brady and Patriots.
The National Football League declared a statement on Monday in which Tom Brady was suspended for four up-coming games of the season 2015. This whole scenario is called 'Deflatigate'. Some footballs were deflated in a championship match against Indianapolis during AFC Championship. Not only Tom Brady was affected by this ban but also Patriots was also fined. The amount of fine was $1.
The action taken against Brady was surprising because in Wells Report on this incident both Robert Kraft and Bill Belichick were announced not guilty. Furthermore, Patriots owner Kraft has said that his team will not fight in the court if NFL imposes any discipline onto his team.
Tom Brady has attempted to try lessening his punishment that NFL has imposed on him on 23rd of June. But it didn't work and his suspension was confirmed. .
In a press conference on Wednesday the owner of New England Patriots Kraft owner said that he thinks better to talk about yesterday's NFL's ruling that was imposed on Brady and Patriots.
"First of all, I would like to apologize to our fans. It is because in the month of May I believed that I have provided so many evidences and NFL's history. This will help NFL to review their ruling on Tom Brady, but I was wrong. They didn't do anything that I expected.
By his words it is obvious that he realized about his wring believe in league. He was disappointed over the league's ruling and thinking why he didn't took the matter to the court.
The Goodell asked Tom Brady to announce an announcement. In that statement he will blame some former Patriots John Jastremski and Jim McNally for tempering the Footballs without his knowledge.
The author wrote that in the response Tom Brady refused to do this. According to ABC the author wrote that Brady said to director of NELPA DeMaurice Smith that he will not blame anyone which he believes are not involved.
In a situation when Patriots were accused of using under un-flatted footballs, a new book written by Casey Sherman and Dave Wedge was exploring the facts.
There is some other material in the book that show some tension between Tom Brady and the owner of Patriots owner Robert Kraft. This tension started when Kraft accepted Brady's suspension in a press conference. Until now there is still a bitter tension between both even after a peace.
Tom Brady was in situation to avoid the suspension if he agrees to blame two other New England Patriots staff people.
He agreed to pay $1 million fine but didn't blame two other staff members in the scandal. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell had offered him that if he blames them he could avoid the suspension according to a report by ABC News.
Instead he refused to accept the offer and had a suspension of 4 upcoming matches.
When someone asked a spoke person form National Football League something on this book he declined to say anything on this matter. Both Tom Brady and Patriots didn't respond to the request for comment on ABC News report.
There is a lot of discussion on the tension between Brady and Kraft over this situation. This behaviour of organization on his suspension made Brady upset. But now they have resolve most part of this controversy.


Founded in 1869, the Cragganmore distillery is equipped with four flat-topped stills whose T-shaped lyne arms encourage the reflux of part of the alcohol vapours, which are then re-distilled. This unique shape creates a particularly mellow spirit and is renowned for its complexity. Distilled on 28th May 1985, this version invites us to discover a palette of flavours and aromas in constant movement which has no qualms in retracing its steps to gain more richness and concentration. The fruity and empyreumatic registers that are continually developed throughout the tasting are a perfect example.
Profile: the complex initial nose is slightly medicinal (mustard), exotic (mango) and spicy (nutmeg). It even becomes tarry. The concentrated attack is floral (lily, rose) and jammy (apricot). The intense finish is medicinal whilst intensifying the fruity character of the palate. The end of the palate brings us to a malting floor.


Lansing, MI — The Hispanic/Latino Commission of Michigan (HLCOM) today announced the 16th Annual Hispanic Heritage Recognition Event and the 19th Annual Cesar E. Chavez Commemorative Dinner will take place on Wednesday, September 17th at the Radisson Hotel, 111 N. Grand Avenue, Lansing.

"It is important that we recognize these talented individuals who are working to improve life for their neighbors, their communities and for all Michigan citizens."

On September 23, the Hispanic/Latino Commission of Michigan will host the fifth annual Hispanic Legislative Advocacy Day at the Capitol in Lansing, from 9 am to 3:30 pm. The effort will bring together representatives from Hispanic/Latino organizations, state and national leaders, activists, students and volunteers to meet with lawmakers about key concerns of Michigan's Hispanic and Latino citizens, including education, access to health care, racial profiling, barriers to obtaining drivers' licenses and economic development.
These events are part of HLCOM's celebration of National Hispanic Heritage Month, September 15 to October 15, 2014. To see a schedule of events, or for more information about HLCOM, visit www.michigan.gov/mdcr and click on "Other Commissions".
The Hispanic/Latino Commission of Michigan was created in 1975 to represent the interests of Michigan's Hispanic and Latino population – one of the fastest-growing ethnic groups in the state. The Commission, made up of 15 individuals appointed by the Governor, advises the Governor and state legislature on policy matters and serves Michigan's Hispanic and Latino population by fostering and celebrating their achievements and promoting their development and welfare.
