![]() He’s taken over Madison Square Garden to present his third Adidas collaboration, Yeezy Season 3, and host an exclusive listening party for his new album, The Life of Pablo. Art.Today’s a big day for the Kanye West camp. And after sifting through all of the bullshit, Kanye West makes damn good music. But it is one that will inevitably be heard by so many people. It is as imperfect and pretentious and self-involved as an album can be. While it may not be relatable, it is a rewarding journey. Too often genre albums play to their comfort zones. It is actually the first one in sometime that doesn’t represent an artistic shift for him. The Life of Pablo isn’t a perfect album nor is it his best. (Pitchfork certainly has, giving the album a 9.0 a mere two days after its release.) While it is a stiff drink (especially “I Love Kanyeâ€), there is so much personality in the album—a singular vision composed by a thousand contributors. A lot of The Life of Pablo depends on if you’ve already drunk the Yeezy cool aid. But with the exception of album reviews, it’s hard to recall good Kanye press. And while they’re hard to defend, the lyrics got so much press Kanye indirectly interrupted another Swift award speech. Some would say the already infamous Taylor Swift line didn’t either. But they didn’t have Twitter accounts either and his Bill Cosby tweet didn’t do him any favors. Few of the “geniuses†he compares himself to were known for their gentle hearts. On “Feedback†the most Yeezus-like song on the album, he yells “I’ve been outta my mind for a long time†leading into “Name one genius that ain’t crazy!†And he’s probably right. He’s a pop culture villain and he lives up to the character. Kanye is a self-described douche bag, asshole, scumbag, jerkoff. ![]() The latter eight mash up bonus tracks (“30â€), songs cut from the album when it was called Waves (“No More Parties in LAâ€), and odd dance heavy numbers (“Fadeâ€). This is his gospel album, primarily the ten songs he premiered at his ridiculously grandiose Madison Square Garden fashion show. Chance’s verse on opening track “ Ultralight Beam†is the album’s best and Chris Brown’s catchy hook on “Waves†takes up more retail space than Kanye himself. More than once he allows a younger star a spotlight-stealing moment. And that’s not including the writing credits or samples. This time around he incorporates Chance the Rapper, Rihanna, The Weeknd, and Kid Cudi, to name a small few. And with each album, the list gets longer. Since MBDTF, Kanye has made a point to collaborate. Again, Kanye acts as the master of ceremonies mashing oldies with shiny new talent. “Famous†uses Sister Nancy’s “Bam Bam†to full effect, and the entire track “Lowlights" gives Kings of Tomorrow’s “So Alive (Acapella)†a full two minutes early on. On the eighteen-track album, Kanye maintains his impeccable taste for sampling. Now we have The Life of Pablo to pick apart and criticize for years to come. Yeezus was a clusterfuck of industrial sounds that still counted as pop music. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy made it okay to publically be a dick if your craft was good enough, a persona that he has kept. His first few albums inspired a generation of backpack-wearing emotional rappers. ![]() ![]() Mostly, though, it earns the right because of Kanye’s previous output. The Life of Pablo demands to be looked at like a modern art piece, partially because of Kanye’s roll out plan. And very few of them actually involve the music on The Life of Pablo. Very few of them will matter in two months (hopefully). ![]() Plenty has been said about Kanye West over the last two weeks. Both challenge what is acceptable and beautiful within their medium. All the signs are there: both artists express themselves in creatively fresh ways. Maybe Kanye West is this generation’s Pablo Picasso. ![]()

Sometimes, internet service providers (ISPs) throttle bandwidth on purpose. If your Internet speed is low to begin with, a VPN won’t be the only culprit of sluggish speeds. So, it’s a matter of preference: do you prioritize maximum speed or data protection against snoopers? In terms of NordVPN security, next-generation AES-256 encryption implemented into the IKEv2/IPsec and OpenVPN security protocols gives users incredibly powerful data protection. However, there is a small tradeoff you have to make: security and privacy supported by the strongest available encryption can produce latency and lower internet speeds. The strongest type of AES is what you should be looking for in a VPN. Before becoming the most frequently used algorithm in ciphering data, AES with 256-bit keys was used by the US government to secure classified information, and by the NSA to protect national security data. The higher the encryption level, the more reliable the protection of your data. It may come in different levels of strength, such as 128-bit, 192-bit, and 256-bit encryption. However, the way encryption is handled depends on the VPN service provider, which can cause latency if executed poorly.Īdvanced Encryption Standard (AES) is the block cipher algorithm used as the current encryption standard. It makes your online traffic inaccessible to hackers and snoopers, letting you can browse in total privacy. Here's where NordVPN's Quick Connect button comes in handy – it automatically picks theist server to give you the fastest speeds possible.Įncryption is the key feature of virtual private networks. Users of premium VPNs with extensive servers should never face latency. Overload issues are common among free and slow VPNs that cram too many users into too few servers in the hope that being “free” is enough to gain users. When there are too many users connected to one server, the connection speed drops. ![]() To help reduce VPN latency as much as possible, search for a high speed VPN service provider with a broad country coverage and a large number of servers, like NordVPN which offers 5200+ servers in over 50 countries. Unless you need to connect to a server in specific location, it's better to choose VPN servers in nearby countries or the one you're in. So the nearer a server is located, the faster the internet speed will be. For example, if you’re in the UK and connecting to a server in Australia, it is a substantial distance for a data packet to travel. Shorter distances between you and the VPN server improve internet speed. So, what really causes latency? Below are a few aspects we should consider. ![]() ![]() ![]() Whenever we pass object reference in arguments then the object will be provided by its caller itself. But how is it possible to create object reference without creating its object?Īns. In the prototype of paint() method, we have created an object reference without creating its object. Where g is an object reference of class Graphic. Note: This is the only method among all the method mention above, which is parameterized. This context is used whenever output to the applet is required. This parameter will contain the graphics context, which describes the graphics environment in which the applet is running. The paint( ) method has one parameter of type Graphics. Whatever the cause, whenever the applet must redraw its output, paint( ) is called. Paint( ) is also called when the applet begins execution. Or the applet window may be minimized and then restored. For example, the window in which the applet is running may be overwritten by another window and then uncovered. This situation can occur for several reasons. paint( ) : The paint( ) method is called each time an AWT-based applet’s output must be redrawn. So, if a user leaves a web page and comes back, the applet resumes execution at start( ).ģ. when the first time an applet is loaded whereas start( ) is called each time an applet’s HTML document is displayed onscreen. It is also called to restart an applet after it has been stopped. start( ) : The start( ) method is called after init( ). This method is called only once during the run time of your applet.Ģ. This is where you should initialize variables. init( ) : The init( ) method is the first method to be called. Let’s look more closely at these methods.ġ. ![]() When an applet is terminated, the following sequence of method calls takes place: When an applet begins, the following methods are called, in this sequence: It is important to understand the order in which the various methods shown in the above image are called.
