Here is a plan of my room and, as you can see, it is not easy to find a good place for the speakers.
Sorry, I have just seen that I forgot to write on the picture the meaning of the red boxes.
This RED boxes are the Windows of the room.
Gosh, it might be easier to move house!
That's certainly a tricky room you have there for installing a home cinema system.
A soundbar would be the obvious choice as it would give you a decent sound and save you the headache of trying to fit surround speakers around your room.
There are some Yamaha systems which come with a soundbar and a basic receiver for connecting your external devices. Maybe check out the Yamaha YHT-S400 or the Yamaha Air Xtreme YAS-71.
If you really want a receiver and proper 5.1 surround sound speakers (7.1 is definitely not going to happen), then you could get in-ceiling speakers for the two rear surrounds - but that involves cutting holes in your ceiling which you may not want to do.
Small satellite speakers could also be installed on the ceiling pointing down if they had a bracket which allowed them to be angled downwards.
At a stretch, you may be able to install one small satellite speaker on the right wall and another on a floor stand to the left of the sofa by the window. You could point these two speakers at each other and you would get a reasonable surround effect in your seating position.
As for front speakers, the only place for left and right speakers are at the corner of the dinner table/TV and the other side of the doorway. Either on stands or wall brackets.
It's not the end of the world if they are not an equal distance either side of the TV, as the volume of each could be adjusted to compensate a little for the difference.
So, I would go for a soundbar if you want an easy life, but if you really want the improved sound of a separate receiver and speakers then get a system with small satellite speakers and try the positions I suggested.
Let us know what you decide and how you get on.

In a strange kind of reality, the self-anointed Satan bares President Jammeh's essentials in a revealing and graphic dossier captioned "THE POLITICS OF THE MILITARY". To give the devil its due, Sam Sarr knows President Jammeh like the palm of his hand. Love the apologist or hate him, Sam must be credited for availing Gambians authoritative information and chilling facts about the epitome of evil-Monster Jammeh. His 114 page dossier walks its readers from the dark alleys of the military barracks into the evil workshop of Jammeh's mind-set with a sleepover at the underworld of Jammeh's treachery, betrayals and dubious plots. He then ushers in his readers into the nerve-racking corners of Edward Singhateh and Yankuba Touray.
Albeit many doubt and question Sam Sarr's sincerity to his new ally, fact remains that he knows too much for Jammeh to snub. True, Sam admits that he said all the stuff he revealed about Jammeh because he was angry and vindictive at the time but both him and Jammeh did not doubt or dismiss the authenticity and accuracy of the informative dossier. As a result, we hereby reproduce the dossier verbatim for the benefit of all Gambians including President Jammeh who should be even more careful now not to ruffle the feathers of his new apologist who has the habit of baring the essential of those who disturb his peace and less goes on another massive scale of painful but realistic revelations.
But Who were these Plotters- Lt. Almamo Manneh and Lt Landing Sanneh?
Landing Sanneh and Almamo Manneh actually turned their arms of terror against their Boss Yaya, then the second proverb perfectly fits the so-called coup plot announced in The Gambia on the 14th January 2000. By all indications, it was no secret that Almamo Manneh and Landing Sanneh were Yaya's most notorious thugs, bullies or killer machines after the tranquilization of Sana Sabally, the death of Sadibou Haidara and the recent marginalization of Edward Singhateh.
responsibility better. However, Yaya by habit, and like most other despots, enjoyed being surrounded by empty-headed people like him whom he could easily lure into carrying out his dirty work.
Just take a look at the terrible things perpetrated by Landing as Commander of the State Guard – and in all these cases the Kanilai tyrant always commended him. In 1996, for example Yaya Jammeh shamelessly encouraged Landing Sanneh to pull a pistol on Edward Singhateh when the latter was the Vice Chairman of AFPRC government, the second most powerful administrator in the Gambia at the time. Edward Singhateh was merely paying a courtesy call to Mrs. Tuti Faal Jammeh (Yaya's former wife) when Sanneh under Yaya's directive threatened to shoot the Vice Chairman. When Yaya got the report, he commended Sanneh for a wonderful job well done. In that same year 1996, Landing Sanneh the State Guard Commander unleashed his men under the leadership Almamo Manneh to conduct the most brutal beating of members of the United Democratic Party (U.D.P.) supporters at Denton Bridge. To the Army itself Landing was a living terror with absolute encouragement and total support of Yaya. Former Army Commander and now Chief -of-Staff, Baboucarr Jatta was in 1997 openly challenged by Landing Sanneh in a manner that had totally undermined his authority as head of the Army. In that case also Yaya clearly stood by his ill-disciplined lieutenant against a whole Colonel. It was the ultimate message from Yaya Jammeh to the entire army that Landing was untouchable among Jammeh's boys of terror.
However Almamo was a greater terror. Since the coup in 1994 the former sergeant was permanently identified with Yaya in every sort of terrorist action imaginable. In 1996 it was Almamo who shot and almost killed an innocent taxi driver in the streets of Banjul at broad daylight Yaya commended him for it because Almamo acted on his directive to shoot any driver on the move when his convoy was passing. Almamo like Sanneh were the very few soldiers in the whole army with the absolute authority to carry any kind of weapons at all times. Almamo could arrest any civilian or soldier and torture them with animal brutality just to please Yaya. The popular P.P.P. politician and former Minister Omar (O.J.) Jallow had on several occasions fallen victim to Almamo's brutality on the orders of Yaya Jammeh. He kept the keys to the State House armoury; he was that ugly -looking soldier always in camouflage uniform with dark glasses moving beside Yaya.
Interestingly however with all the terror and madness associated with Almamo the non- commissioned officer, Yaya in 1999 promoted him to the rank of a lieutenant when the idiot could barely read or write. It was a clear manifestation of rewarding the most terrible and incompetent soldier in the whole Gambia Armed Forces. Then all of a sudden we are informed that Almamo and Landing were trying to topple their Boss Yaya but the former was butchered and the latter put on chains. Thank god what a great riddance that was for the Gambian people.
The only person who lost dearly is Yaya Jammeh, but knowing him fully well he would try all his tricks to turn it into a childish victory story for himself. He would fabricate big lies again about super-coup activities he had foiled only to once again expose his puerile mind. Apparently a lot of people may wonder what really brought Yaya and Almamo together in a whole army of over 1000 men; that's a simple answer; they are more or less the same calibre in several ideas especially in the field of primitive 'Jujus'. Yaya and Almamo had always shared the funny dream that the abundant of charms and 'Jujus' supplied to them by their marabous were actual bullet proof stuffs. Well, I only hope the demise of Almamo was a proper wake up call for the superstitious Jammeh to now know that those things don't work at all.
As for the rest of the Gambian soldiers the fall of the mighty Lt. Landing Sanneh and Lt. Almamo Manneh was typical example of what could happen to those who have less faith in god and decided to choose the satanic path of evil doers. The Jammeh government had been built through treachery and deceit and Yaya has perfected his skill of destroying his greatest loyalists particularly the fanatical ones; ask Edward Singhateh if you want to know more about that. As a matter of fact it would have been an insult to the Gambia Army for Almamo and Landing to successfully lead them in a coup. Even Kukoi with his own madness would have been a better choice.

Symptoms of food-induced anaphylaxis in infants are much less severe than in toddlers and older children, according to a study from Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago published in the Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology. Anaphylaxis is defined as a reaction that involves multiple systems in the body or a presentation with significant cardiac or respiratory symptoms. While in older children an allergic reaction to food can be life-threatening, anaphylaxis in infants mostly manifests as hives and vomiting, the study found. With over 350 cases analyzed, including 47 infants, this is the largest study to date to describe food-induced anaphylaxis in infants under 1 year of age compared to other age groups.
Dr. Gupta is the Mary Ann and J. Milburn Smith Research Professor for a Sr. Scientist in Child Health Research at the Stanley Manne Children's Research Institute at Lurie Children's. She also is Director of the Science & Outcomes of Allergy & Asthma Research (SOAAR) Program (www.ruchigupta.com) based at Lurie Children's and Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.


Winemakers in Kent are counting the cost of a late frost in April that has damaged vines during the largely hot and dry month. Some vineyards are preparing to put back harvests for a year after the unexpected clear nights, which allowed temperatures to plummet. Chapel Down – which has vines in Tenterden, Kits Coty near Blue Bell Hill and the Weald – issued a trading update to shareholders last week insisting its outlook "remains positive despite the frosts".
Chapel Down said the April frosts were the most widespread in more than 20 years for the time of year.
The potential damage is a huge contrast to the harvest of 2016, which was one of the best in many years. Yet frost is not the only potential issue. England had just 30% of its average rainfall in April according to the Met Office but more than average levels of sunshine. Mr Simpson spoke on a rainy Wednesday morning last week as his firm planted 40,000 chardonnay, pinot noir and pinot meunier vines across 25 acres.


By putting your payments on auto pay, you eliminate that monthly decision: Should I pay bills tonight or wait until Tuesday? Should I put money into savings this month or buy those cute shoes?
For me, I know that the fewer financial decisions I have to make on a daily basis, the better. That's why I love automatic payments.
There are several ways to do this, but all result in the same thing: Your finances are set to "autopilot" while you are off enjoying life.
Use your bank's online bill pay option, which is a free service at most banks but also at credit unions, brokerages, and mutual fund accounts. An automatic bill payment is a money transfer from your account on a predetermined date or schedule, to pay a recurring bill.
Automatic payments can be made from a checking account or credit card. They are usually set up with the company receiving the payment, though it's also possible to schedule automatic payments through a checking account's online bill pay service.
Banks don't all operate exactly the same way, so go online to check out your bank's auto bill pay service.
Most lenders and other service providers will let you set up online automatic payments authorizing them to reach into your bank account to take an amount you specify—the minimum payment, a set dollar amount or the full balance—every month from your checking account right before the payment is due.
Go to your credit-card issuer's and other lenders' websites to learn more.
Most utility companies now offer this kind of service, too. And while we're talking about it, if you set up your student loans to be paid automatically, expect to get a reduction in your interest rate as a nice thank-you. Check it out.
Automatic payments have become hugely popular because they offer so many advantages.
By setting all your bills to be paid automatically, you're not as pressured to keep track of what due dates. Once an automatic payment plan is created (you can cancel or amend it anytime since you're the boss when it comes to auto pay), your bank or credit card issuer will take care of the rest.
The biggest reason most people use auto-pay to put all of their monthly payments on their travel rewards credit cards is to get reward points for travel. All those bills add up to hundreds of points each month, and can easily result in lots of free travel every year. CAUTION: Just make sure you have authorized your reward credit-card issuer to reach into your account to transfer the full amount you owe so that the balance returns to $0.00 before the start of the next billing period.
By eliminating paper bills and check writing, you reduce a lot of paper. Plus, you don't have to buy and keep on hand a constant supply of postage stamps.
When your bills are set up to be automatically paid, missing a payment or becoming delinquent becomes a rare, if ever, occurrence—two things that will kill our credit score These are two things that can majorly hurt your credit score. When your bills are always paid on time, it keeps your credit score, even boosting it into a higher more enviable bracket.
If your bills are not mailed to your home and you are not mailing in paper payments with a credit card or checking account numbers, you reduce your risk of identity theft.
Of course, there are risks when paying online, but the security surrounding these payments is typically far greater than the security offered by an unlocked mailbox.
Saves money. Since you'll no longer have to pay for checks, stamps, envelopes, or gas for trips to the post office, having your bills paid automatically lets you keep more of your hard-earned money.
Automated payment comes with potential disadvantages, which you should consider fully.
Some companies charge a fee, which is maddening since automatic payments save them money in processing and chasing after delinquent payers. Don't fall for paying a fee. If that creditor or service provider wants to charge you, pay instead with an old-fashioned check or money order.
With automatic payment plans, it can be easy to forget what you have scheduled to be paid and when. If you run your bank or credit-card close to the edge, you're setting yourself up for overdrafts which come with huge fees. Another problem is that banks and others make mistakes from time to time! They may jump ahead of your schedule, so keep a calendar and check your accounts often.
Automatic payment plans can be set up in a matter of minutes. But stopping them can be much more difficult. Sometimes you have to notify your bank and your merchant, and you may even need to do it in writing. Should you stop or change your auto-pay schedule, watch very carefully to make sure your instructions are followed exactly as instructed.
Not so keen on automating your bills and payments? You can use this method and process in another way—to automate your savings!
Set up an automatic authorization at your bank or credit union to have a set amount of money transferred from your checking account where you deposit your paychecks, into your savings account. Start small if you must, but just do it. It will change things for you and I mean in a really awesome way.
Here's what will happen: The first time the money is moved you'll feel panicked because you feel the "loss." Buck up, dry your tears. You'll be just fine.
The second time this happens you will be slightly agitated. But the third, fourth and on and on? You will totally forget it happens! Trust me on this. Now and then when you think of it and check your saving balance, you will rejoice. And thank me.

Bepi Colombo: Mission to Mercury
October 2018 saw the launch of Bepi Colombo, a European mission to study Mercury, the innermost world in our Solar System. Govert Schilling reveals why we're going, and how we'll get there.
Govert Schilling
Published: October 1, 2018 at 12:00 pm
In October 2018, ESA launched the BepiColombo spacecraft to the Solar System's smallest and innermost planet. Some seven years from now, it will begin studying Mercury in meticulous detail across the electromagnetic spectrum.
"A peculiar planet of mysteries and surprises" – this is how European planetary scientist Johannes Benkhoff describes Mercury.
According to Benkhoff, the mission's project scientist, planetary researchers expect BepiColombo to solve many Mercurial mysteries.
It's a planet, he says, that is also a key element in understanding the formation of the Solar System.
Two orbiters are making their way to the planet: the relatively small Japanese Mercury Magnetospheric Orbiter (MMO) and ESA's 4,100kg Mercury Planetary Orbiter (MPO).
"It's a very harsh environment," says Benkhoff, referring to Mercury's distance from the Sun, which varies between just 46 and 69 million km.
"But if we're lucky, the nominal mission duration of one year may be extended up to four years."

Although Mercury is much closer to Earth than, say, Saturn, it's tough to get there, basically because the planet's orbital speed is much higher than Earth's.
The first Mercury probe, NASA's Mariner 10, didn't even make it into orbit.
Launched in 1973, it performed three close flybys in 1974 and 1975, before ending up orbiting the Sun.
Mariner 10 mapped just shy of half of the planet's surface, revealing a crater-pocked landscape.
It also discovered a weak magnetic field: quite a surprise, since no one expects Mercury to have retained a molten core.
It would be 30 years before another probe set course for Mercury.
NASA's MESSENGER spacecraft launched in August 2004, and orbited the barren world between March 2011 and its intentional crash in April 2015.
From its polar orbit, MESSENGER collected nearly 290,000 images and mapped the planet's topography.
Among other things, it discovered deposits of ice at the floors of permanently shadowed polar craters, mysterious 'hollows' beneath the surface, signs of relatively recent volcanic activity, and a mysterious displacement of the magnetic field by 400km northwards with respect to the planet's centre.
So what's left for BepiColombo to discover? A lot, says former project manager Jan van Casteren at the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) in Noordwijk, the Netherlands.
Originally, he says, BepiColombo was scheduled to arrive first, but the project was delayed by technological problems, cost overruns and redesigns.
"Still, in 2009, ESA's Science Programme Committee decided to give the go-ahead for the mission because of its great scientific potential.
BepiColombo is a much more versatile mission than MESSENGER, which was relatively simple."

No easy journey
During its seven-year cruise phase, BepiColombo's solar orbit will gradually be tweaked by one Earth flyby, two Venus flybys and no less than six Mercury flybys.
This 'gravity assist' technique, pioneered by Mariner 10, was invented by Italian astronomer Giuseppi 'Bepi' Colombo, after whom the mission is named.
The craft's versatile ion engine will perform additional orbital corrections.
Eventually, in early December 2025, BepiColombo will arrive in its elliptical polar orbit.
A few months later, the lowest point of the orbit is brought down to just 250km, and science operations will begin.
At Mercury, a spacecraft receives about 10 times more solar energy than it would in Earth orbit: some 14,500 watts per square metre.
Moreover, Mercury's surface is so hot (430°C) that BepiColombo's main orbiter needs to be protected from the planet's infrared radiation, which delivers more energy: 5,500 watts per square metre.
To cope with these extremes, the craft is completely wrapped in thick, multilayer thermal blankets.
A huge contraption of silver-coated titanium fins always points away from the planet to radiate excess heat away into space.
You might expect that the use of solar panels is straightforward when you're so close to the Sun, but you'd be wrong, as Markus Schelkle of Airbus Defence and Space in Germany (the spacecraft's prime contractor) explains.
"The solar array had to be newly developed using novel materials," he says.
"It's very difficult to make them resistant to both high temperatures and strong ultraviolet radiation."
The same is true for the large solar arrays on BepiColombo's transfer module, which provide the energy for the ion engine.
"Developing the solar arrays took as long as developing the whole spacecraft," says Schelkle.
How Bepi Colombo is equipped to deal with its mission to Mercury.
As the MPO studies the planet up close, the smaller MMO will monitor the solar wind, the planet's magnetic field and the extremely tenuous sodium-rich 'exosphere'.
Because of strong solar wind buffeting, Mercury's magnetosphere can sometimes be pushed back all the way to the surface.
As a result, the solar wind directly interacts with the surface, possibly releasing sodium atoms in the process.
"It's one of the questions we want to answer," says Hajime Hayakawa of the Japanese space agency JAXA.
Another big issue he hopes MMO will solve is the mysterious 'shift' of Mercury's magnetic dipole.
Meanwhile, as project scientist Benkhoff recounts, the MPO will map the elemental and chemical composition of the planet's surface, look for morphological changes in the mysterious subsurface 'hollows' (which may be due to the loss of volatiles), hopefully elucidate the origin of the polar ice deposits and study the planet's relatively large iron-nickel core.
"Also," says Benkhoff, "Mercury's potassium/thorium ratio is much higher than current planetary formation models predict.
The mission may shed new light on the origin of the Solar System."
Van Casteren is confident that the ambitious €1.65 billion mission will be worth every penny.
"The highest-resolution images will reveal details as small as 5m," he says, "and BepiColombo has an impressive suite of 11 science experiments.
It would have been nice to be the first, but in the long run, it's the science that counts."
Mercury, as seen by the MESSENGER spacecraft.
Target Mercury
Mercury is the smallest and innermost planet in the Solar System.
Studying it from Earth (or with an Earth-orbiting instrument like the Hubble Space Telescope) is difficult, because it always appears close to the Sun in the sky.
Because Mercury is orbiting the Sun so fast (48km/s on average), a spacecraft launched from Earth has to undergo a large change in velocity to end up orbiting the planet.
That's one reason why there have been so few Mercury probes so far.
Visible light, X-rays and ultraviolet radiation from the Sun are about 10 times more powerful at Mercury than they are on Earth.
The solar wind (charged particles from the Sun) is also more energetic.
This is another reason why Mercury has remained relatively unexplored.
Compared to the other terrestrial planets, Mercury has a very large iron-nickel core. No one knows why.
Maybe a huge primordial impact blew away most of its rocky mantle.
Or maybe scientists need to adapt their pet theories on the formation of the Solar System.
Learning more about Mercury and its extreme environment will also help in understanding habitable-zone exoplanets that orbit at comparable distances to their parent dwarf stars.

Q: What is the best/easiest way to get my degree, already being an experienced developer? I have been an active professional software developer (mostly utilizing .NET) for the past five years and, without being too full of myself, I would say I'm a very competent developer. I stay intimately up to date with the latest tools, the industry, and modern standards/practices. I work for a fairly high-level IT company and I swing just fine with the rest of them. I am even up to date on the latest team dynamic methodologies and feel like I have good leadership/management/people skills.
However, I never got my degree. I learned and am learning everything I know on my own from hundreds of books and experiences. I ran my own software company for a while until it took a big hit from the economy a year or so ago. It took a LONG time and A LOT of applications, but I finally found the job I have now.
Like an idiot I dropped out of college to forgo paying more tuition and I started my company and as life goes, I now wish I had stayed and got the degree. I have student loans that are in default and I'm working my hind end off to pay off those debts now that I am making a fair amount of money again.
I have hit too many ceilings without this degree. For one, I will never make as much as someone with the same level of knowledge and experience, but also has a degree. Also, the amount of effort it took to get a job in the industry without a degree was exhausting and depressing.
Now I am wondering what the best way for me to go about getting my degree is?

*

*Are there online schools that would offer this degree?

*Would an online school even be a good choice?

*Would my knowledge and experience in the industry help me finish schooling faster/cheaper?

*Have any of you ever found yourself in a similar position? If so, how did you overcome all the barriers put in front of you?

*Have any of you ever had student loans in default and tried to go back to school later? How did you deal with that and how did it affect you?

A: It sounds like you are concerned about increasing income.  That is, the purpose of having the degree is to have a piece of paper that will help you get past perceived ceilings (the existence of which I don't accept, but that's a whole 'nother issue).  If that's the case, a degree may not be the best route.  You may be completely missing the forest for the diploma tree.  You are focused on increasing salary from a single job when instead you should focus on increasing your total income.  Besides, the biggest benefit of having that degree - getting you to your first job - has already passed you by since you have been there/done that.  So the bang for the buck you'd get is already diminished.
Alternatively, consider taking all that time and effort you would have spent getting a degree and instead focusing on additional income streams.  Create a side business, buy some rental property, investing, etc.  You are obviously entrepreneurial, so I think that's probably your best route.
There are significant downsides to going back to college for a undergrad degree when you are already an established professional:

*

*you don't know if you will complete it this time (you obviously didn't like it the first go around, so what makes you think you will this time?).  If you don't, you just flushed away all that tuition.

*it costs a lot of money

*the increase in salary you'd see given that you are already an experienced developer would be minimal, if it exists. IMO, you've already taken the difficult route.

*You might be able to get that same increase in salary by simply switching jobs.  Not every employer cares about your degree, especially when you have a lot of experience. It might simply be easier and quicker to find one that values a person more for their skills than for their paper trail.

I'm not saying don't go back to school, but rather consider what your actual end goal is here and then consider your broader options.

A: Here in Belgium and the Netherlands we have something called the open university. It's a collaboration between different universities and certain grades, like computer science, can be obtained from it.
You get your curriculum, information about the courses and the books you need to know for them and every time you learned a course, you just call to make an appointment to make the exam (two weeks beforehand). So in that way, you can do it as fast or as slow as you like. There aren't a lot of people doing this, most are just going to the "real" university, but it's a perfect solution if you're in your situation.
It's specially designed for adults who still want to obtain a degree and I think it's a great initiative.
I don't know where you live exactly, but maybe there are other initiatives like these where you are from? Over here the cost is really reasonable, I don"t think they charge more than normal students ($900 dollars a year if you include books, tuition, ...) but I'm afraid that it's a lot more expensive where you are from.
Apparently its origin lies in the UK and can be followed and is accredited by the United States. I don't know how expensive it is, but you can find more info on the wikipedia page or the official homepage.
It's something that I might do later too. I do business engineering now, but I really would like a computer science degree too.

A: *

*There are several, but you will want to check their accreditation first. Also look at local schools to see if they offer correspondence or a flex-student program (one near my some colleagues have done where they can attend class or do it online depending on schedules that week).

*I got my BS from an online school (already had an associates'), with my experience it seemed a good fit, and I have not had issues with it. Online is also a very independent study, it is often much harder to get help (though email/phone is usually an option) and you do need to be honest with yourself that you will be self-motivated enough to get stuff done since most of the classes will be more self-paced week to week and is easy for some people to behind (my brother-in-law struggled with this, though he had a 4.0 in his onsite classes), it is not for everyone.

*I am not sure about cheaper/faster, but you may be able to test out of some classes, though that is rare. I did find that I could handle more programming classes at once because they were a lot easier for me than those that were just being introduced to the subjects.

*I was able to complete my 4-year with the birth of 2 kids, my mother-in-law dying and a full-time job. If you are committed, you can do it. I was amazed how much better focused I was than I had been when I was younger.

*Sorry, cannot answer that.

A: First, understand that the old-fashioned in-residence degree, involving in-person lectures and labs and tests, is going to carry more weight than almost any "online" degree.  If you actually suck it up and go back to school full-time to finish it, that will carry a LOT of weight with recruiters down the road.
Second, understand that you've learned some things about maturity and meeting schedule that the other undergraduates may not have learned yet.  This will put you ahead of the curve on schoolwork.
Start by talking with the college/university you left.  Find out whether you are eligible for readmission.  Find out whether you can get any kind of credit for work experience and independent learning since you left school.  (It never hurts to ask.  If they say "no", you've lost at most a few minutes.  If they say "yes", you've won.)
Figure out what you still have to do to graduate under your old degree plan, or under the current plan.  Write a pro forma plan.
Look at other degree options at the same university.  I once met a girl who'd changed her undergraduate major 13 times, and wound up a Hindi major, because, at that point, that carried the shortest path to graduation.  Check with other departments, and see if they'll give credit for independent learning or life experience.
If you're talking to a private college or university, it can't hurt to ask about direct admission into a Masters program, or a dual Bachelor's/Masters's unified program, if they have one.  You may find that the professors enjoy having someone around who has Been There And Done That.

A: Get a degree outside of the computer science realm.  Do something you enjoy so that you have a future in that market.  If you really enjoy software, then go there.  If you want to be management, logistics, or whatever, get a degree there.
Take a real serious look into whether you want to be a coder and/or what kind of coder you want to be.  If you're happy with web-apps/whatever, latest trends, then that's where to put your effort.
I agree with the sentiment that if all you want is a piece of paper, then go to the cheapest accredited institute you can find.  But remember, my wife who has a degree from an Ivory League school has more open doors than I do with my basic (smaller/unknown) state school degree

Empirical interest will be in the facts so far as they are relevant to the solution of these problems.
It is that of increasing knowledge of empirical fact, intimately combined with changing interpretations of this body of fact - hence changing general statements about it - and, not least, a changing a structure of the theoretical system.
The implications of these considerations justify the statement that all empirically verifiable knowledge even the commonsense knowledge of everyday life - involves implicitly, if not explicitly, systematic theory in this sense.
The functions of the family in a highly differentiated society are not to be interpreted as functions directly on behalf of the society, but on behalf of personality.
The hypothesis may be put forward, to be tested by the s subsequent investigation, that this development has been in large part a matter of the reciprocal interaction of new factual insights and knowledge on the one hand with changes in the theoretical system on the other.
Special emphasis should be laid on this intimate interrelation of general statements about empirical fact with the logical elements and structure of theoretical systems.
Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other – only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.
The structure of a theoretical system tells us what alternatives are open in the possible answers to a given question. If observed facts of undoubted accuracy will not fit any of the alternatives it leaves open, the system itself is in need of reconstruction.
A theoretical system does not merely state facts which have been observed and that logically deducible relations to other facts which have also been observed. In so far as such a theory is empirically correct it will also tell us what empirical facts it should be possible to observe in a given set.
Without deliberate planning on anyone's part, there have developed in our type of social system, and correspondingly in others, mechanisms which, within limits, are capable of forestalling and reversing the deep-lying tendencies for deviance to get into the vicious circle phase which puts it beyond the control of ordinary approval-disapproval and reward-punishment sanctions.
A fact is not itself a phenomenon at all, but a proposition about one or more phenomena.
A scientifically unimportant discovery is one which, however true and however interesting for other reasons, has no consequences for a system of theory with which scientists in that field are concerned.
If capitalism begins as the practical idealism of the aspiring bourgeoisie, it ends... as an orgy of materialism.
The importance of certain problems concerning the facts will be inherent in the structure of the system.
'System' is the concept that refers both to a complex of interdependencies between parts, components, and processes, that involves discernible regularities of relationships, and to a similar type of interdependency between such a complex and its surrounding environment.
Ideology is a system of beliefs, held in common by the members of a collectivity.
If there are four equations and only three variables, and no one of the equations is derivable from the others by algebraic manipulation then there is another variable missing.
It is a fact that social existence depends to a large extent on a moral consensus of its members and that the penalty of its too radical breakdown is social extinction. This fact is one which the type of liberal whose theoretical background is essentially utilitarian is all too apt to ignore.
Sociology should...be thought of as a science of action—of the ultimate common value element in its relations to the other elements of action.
Theory not only formulates what we know but also tells us what we want to know, that is, the questions to which an answer is needed.

(Reuters) - Nevada's governor, diagnosed with COVID-19 himself earlier this month, said on Sunday he was tightening coronavirus restrictions on casinos, restaurants and bars, while imposing a broader statewide mandate for face-coverings over the next three weeks.
The new measures, effective on Tuesday, come as state and local government leaders around the United States have moved to reinstate a wide range of limits on social and economic life to tame an alarming surge of COVID-19 infections following a summertime lull in the pandemic.
"Whether you believe in the science of COVID or not, the reality is this - COVID is filling up our hospital beds, and that threatens all Nevadans," Governor Steve Sisolak, a Democrat said in announcing what he called a new "statewide pause."
The latest restrictions are likely to prove especially tough for a state whose economy, and the livelihood of its biggest city, Las Vegas, are largely dependent on tourism, gaming and the hospitality industry.
Under Sisolak's latest public health orders, restaurants and bars must reduce operations from 50% to 25% of capacity, with additional social-distancing requirements, including prohibitions on service without advance reservations.
Casinos, which reopened in June after being ordered closed for more than two months following the COVID-19 outbreak, will likewise be capped at 25% capacity.
The same capacity limit will applied to museums, art galleries, libraries, arcades, racetracks and theme parks - all of which had been under a 50% capacity lid previously.
Sisolak's latest mask mandate will require all individuals to wear face-coverings whenever in the presence of others from outside their immediate household, whether indoors or outdoors.
Private social gatherings are to be restricted to 10 people from no more than two households, whether inside or out, while public assemblies at such venues as movie theaters, theatrical performances, showrooms, weddings, funerals and places of worship will be capped at 50 individuals, or 25% of normal fire-code capacity, whichever is less.
All youth and adult sports tournaments will be suspended altogether.
Sisolak, 66, tested positive for COVID-19 on Nov. 13, though he said last week he was experiencing only minor symptoms.

US Cremation Equipment participated at the Association of California Cremationists (ACC) annual conference held in San Diego, Ca. July, 2013. Along with several other Cremation vendors, the attendees included Funeral Directors/Cemeteries with Crematories and Independent Crematory operators. All members in the meeting are located in California.
Douglas O. Meyer, Esq. He explained the many ways in which Crematories get sued and how to best prevent being sued. The most common case he has experienced over the past 25 years is misidentification of the body or the cremains.
Dean R. Fischer, Director, UCLA Donated Body program. Mr. Fischer gave a thorough presentation on the Alkaline Hydrolysis System that they currently have at UCLA Medical School. He went over the operation of the system, process, chemistry, throughput (3.5 to 4 hours per 150lbs case) and high costs involved in facilities and equipment acquisition.
Mark Matthews, Environmental Advisor for CANA. Mr. Matthews reviewed current CANA statistics. The trend to cremate continues up and is expected to be over 50% in a few years. Estimates range from 2016 to 2020.
Jim Draper, Draper Mortuary, CFDA Legislative Committee Chair. The long list of new regulations was reviewed along with current proposed legislation that will allow only 5 Alkaline Hydrolysis Systems in California over the next 5 years. The intention is to make a final decision after the 5 year time limit to allow the systems to stay or be removed.
ACC holds an annual meeting in Southern California every other year and in Northern California in the off years. Their membership roster includes approximately 80 members.


Be a leader or start following ?
Look around the place you are in . Can you see a leader ? Are you hunting for a good leader ? Do you always complain that it was your leaders mistake ?
Most people think that a leader is someone who manages ... it could be human beings, machines, resources or anything in quantity. Many of us grow up believing that a leader is someone else around us.
A leader is not a person who manages people, but a person whom people like following.
Look around the environment you are in again. How many future leaders can you spot now?
In biological terms, leaders get the first pick of food and other perks, but at a cost. When danger is present, the group expects the leader to mitigate all threats even at the expense of their personal well-being. Understanding this deep-seated expectation is the key difference between a "Position" and a "leader".
After watching this video, I understand myself even more now.

"We Need All Forms of Energy"
Annual Dinner on Switzerland's energy future

Subtitle: Annual Dinner on Switzerland's energy future
"There is no future without a past." True to those words, Avenir Suisse's 2015 "Annual Dinner" for sponsors was held at the Trafohalle in Baden – the former high voltage laboratory of ABB. In this location three top class guests discussed Switzerland's energy future: Federal Councillor Doris Leuthard, head of the Federal Department of the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications, Dr Johannes Teyssen, Chief Executive Officer of E.ON, and Dr Matthias Bichsel, who for more than 30 years held leading roles at Royal Dutch Shell.
A well organised business with abundant margins and contended investors. For many decades, energy policy was almost boring. That energy issues today have become as tense and complex as a detective novel was evident to guests too, listening attentively to the experts' remarks for almost one and a half hours at the 2015 "Annual Dinner."
In his introductory comments, Gerhard Schwarz stressed the cyclical nature of energy policy and the difficulties involved. As recently as six years ago, when Avenir Suisse presented its first study on energy supply, crude oil was trading at $140 a barrel – a stark contrast to $50 today. Likewise for electricity – currently being traded on international markets at the lowest prices – there can no longer be talk of imminent supply shortages, as was the case until relatively recently. All these uncertainties have been reinforced by the fact that Switzerland is anything but an "energy island" and is in fact highly dependent on developments abroad.
Federal Councillor Doris Leuthard comfirmed the unexpectedly fast pace of international change. She identified the USA's shift over a few years from energy importer to exporter as one of the most significant geopolitical developments. Particularly complex too – because of distorting the market – were the countless subsidies through which vast amounts of money were flowing into fossil fuels, rather than renewables. To cap it all, the Ukraine conflict had increased Europe's awareness of the need to diversify its energy suppliers. To cope with all these challenges, federal energy policy was built on three pillars:
Lowering energy consumption, with the focus on transport and buildings. Reducing energy consumption to the lowest possible level could at least limit Switzerland's long term dependence on international energy markets.
More reneweables and fewer fossil fuels as energy sources. The government sees great potential in heating and in power generation. For environmental reasons, nuclear energy had also been assessed. But, prompted principally by business considerations and realistic cost assessments, it was for the moment not seen as an option for the future.
Embedding into the European power framework. Greater integration with the European electricity market would also increase security of supply.
Completely new business models
Johannes Teyssen in his speech took the corporate perspective and showed how the business model of a large group like E.ON would change in the years ahead. The main trigger would be technical progress. By 2020, according to estimates, 28 billion devices would be connected. That would not just have a big impact on energy demand, but bring all manner of customer wishes in its wake. "Everyone can bring about their own change in energy policy."

But Teyssen was correspondingly pessimistic about the integrated supply structures that have dominated the sector until now. It will be difficult for companies that for years focused on infrastructure and a unified product to meet new customer needs. That is why E.ON decided to split into two: one company will think radically from the consumer view and focus on those business areas in which agility is paramount – among them electricity from ecological sources, electricity and gas networks, as well as distribution. The other company will encompass conventional power stations, exploration and global energy trading.
Crude oil remains important
Certain as Matthias Bichsel is that the oil price will rise again one day, he warned the audience against jumping to the conclusion that our energy sources might change radically. Optimistic estimates reckon the world economy could meet only 25 per cent of its energy needs from renewables by 2040. So that still leaves 75 per cent for conventional sources. "We will need all forms of energy." An important accompaniment for renewables – and one with room for growth – is natural gas, which causes less atmospheric pollution than crude oil.
In the panel discussion that followed, debate focused on the appropriate role for the state in the changing energy landscape. Federal Councillor Leuthard seemed surprised by business representatives' demand that the state should bring all parties to the table. "Designing the market can't be the state's job." By contrast, the experts were more or less agreed on the question that subsidies, though damaging in the long run, could be necessary in the short term – especially if security of supply were at stake.

Q: How to transform a video (using MATLAB) which was taken at an offset to correct viewing angle? I have a video taken at an angle to the axis of a circular body. Since it was taken from an unknown angle, the circle appears as a ellipse.
How to find the angle of camera offset from the video? Also, Is it correct to apply the same transformation to all the frames in the video; as the video camera was in a fixed location?

A: For a super easy fix, go back to the scene and take the video again.  This time, make sure the circle look like a circle.
That being said, this is an interesting topic in the academia.  I believe there's various solutions/articles that are aimed to solve this kind of problem.  Base on your reputation, I believe you already know that, but still wanted to give Stackoverflow members a shot at answering this problem.  So here it goes.
For an easy fix, you can start with this function, by guessing the camera location by trial and error until you find an acceptable transformation to your image (a frame of the video).  The function does not work right out of the box, you have to debug it a little bit.
If you have access to the (virtual) scene of the image, you can take an image.  Base on mutual feature points from the new image and the original image, register the two images (and get the transformation) (ex1, ex2).
Finally, apply the same transformation to each frame of the video.
To answer your second question, though the camera location is fixed, there may be objects moving in the scene.  So applying the same transformation to every frame will only correct the objects that are still.  So it's not ideal.  In the end, it depends on what the aims of the project is and how this non/correction affects the project aims.
