Spank! The Fifty Shades Parody Opens Just in Time for Valentine's Day
Siran Babayan February 4, 2013
*5 Artsy Things to Do in L.A. This Week
*Our Latest Theater Reviews
If you've read Fifty Shades of Grey and think it's about as thought-provoking as the parody cookbook Fifty Shades of Chicken, then you're sure to laugh — intentionally — at Spank! The Fifty Shades Parody, which opens at the Grove of Anaheim, followed by Club Nokia, just before Valentine's Day, on Feb. 11.
The erotic trilogy's worldwide appeal started less than two years ago and has already spawned countless parody books, not to mention celebs on TV and YouTube reading the novel's steamiest passages for comic relief. (Gilbert Gottfried reading this nugget comes to mind: "His hands reach around and touch my breasts and my nipples pucker at his touch.") It was only a matter of time before a stage spoof popped up, bringing to life the not-so-sophisticated words of housewife-turned-smut-peddler-disguised-as-author E.L. James.
"Our show takes place in a parallel world," says head writer and director Jim Millan, a Toronto native whose credits include directing The Kids in the Hall on stage. The touring show has traveled as far as Australia and plans for a Vegas residency are in the works. "It's not a recreation of the book. It's a parody and things similar to the book. It allows us to open up the show in a fun way. Our characters have different themes and different plot points, but there are a lot of similarities that anyone would recognize."
The cast of three actors — all of whom have Second City backgrounds — follows the original story of a vacuous college student (Alice Moran), who falls under the spell of a young, rich and domineering corporate tycoon (Patrick Whalen). He prefers rough sex over, you know, eye contact and feelings, and convinces his eager beaver to enter into a BDSM contract. (Flogging, yes. Fisting, no.) Anne Marie Scheffler plays the author and narrator, as well as some of the supporting characters.
"She's the framing device," says Millan. "She takes us into her world of trying to write an erotic novel. That way on stage you get to see a lot of scenes that didn't make it into the book — her ideas and creations. But we also get to skip to the good parts."
A book that at best reads like a raunchy teen romance novel is obviously ripe for skewering. "It's certainly easy to parody. But I don't think the author herself takes the book that seriously. She wrote it as fan fiction. What I do like about the popularity of the book is that it says that people should be brave and explore their fantasies and have fun."
While the show sticks to the novel's basics, it takes liberties with certain details. For example, in the book, the couple does nothing but have sex, lots and lots of sex. One scene takes place in a bathroom and involves menstrual blood and a tampon. "One of our scenes also takes place in a bathroom, " says Millan. "But it involves a toothbrush and oral hygiene." And instead of fancy cars and helicopters, expect to see hang gliders and hovercrafts as props.
The play also includes songs with original lyrics set to popular show tunes. Though Millan doesn't want to give too much away, we're sure the cast will be singing about sore bottoms and stinging hands. And no musical would be complete without audience participation. In the book, our heroine is ordered to visit a gynecologist and go on birth control. So don't be surprised if you're called upon to play doctor and asked to give medical advice.

Q: Derived django class based view and context data I have a problem. I have at least three class- and one context-data titre who is the title of the page.
One generic class for form:
class Myformview(generic.FormView):
    form_class = None
    template_name = None
    titre=None

    @method_decorator(login_required)
    def dispatch(self, *args, **kwargs):
        """on a besoin pour le method decorator"""
        return super(Myformview, self).dispatch(*args, **kwargs)

    def get_context_data(self, *args, **kwargs):
        context= super(Myformview, self).get_context_data(*args, **kwargs)
        if self.titre is not None:
            context.update({'titre':self.titre})
        return context

As I have different way to export a base class to export data:
class ExportViewBase(FormView):
    template_name = 'param_export.djhtm'  # nom du template
    model_initial = None  # model d'ou on tire les dates initiales
    extension_file = None
    nomfich = None
    debug = False
    form_class = None

    def export(self, query):
        """
        fonction principale mais abstraite
        """
        raise django_exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured(
            "attention, il doit y avoir une methode qui extrait effectivement")

    def get_initial(self):
        """gestion des donnees initiales"""
        if self.model_initial is None:
            raise django_exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured("un modele d'ou on tire les dates initiales doit etre defini")
        date_min = self.model_initial.objects.aggregate(
            element=models_agg.Min('date'))['element']
        date_max = self.model_initial.objects.aggregate(
            element=models_agg.Max('date'))['element']
        return {'date_min': date_min, 'date_max': date_max}

    @method_decorator(login_required)
    def dispatch(self, *args, **kwargs):
        """on a besoin pour le method decorator"""
        return super(ExportViewBase, self).dispatch(*args, **kwargs)

    def form_valid(self, form):
        """si le form est valid"""
        reponse = self.export(query=form.query)
        if self.nomfich is None:
            raise django_exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured('nomfich undefined')
        if self.extension_file is None:
            raise django_exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured('extension_file undefined')
        reponse["Cache-Control"] = "no-cache, must-revalidate"
        reponse['Pragma'] = "public"
        reponse["Content-Disposition"] = "attachment; filename=%s_%s.%s" % (self.nomfich, time.strftime("%d_%m_%Y-%H_%M_%S",time.localtime()), self.extension_file)
        return reponse

and the effective class to export:
class Export_view_sql(export_base.ExportViewBase):
    extension_file = "sql"
    debug = True
    nomfich = "export_full"
    model_initial=models.Ope
    form_class = export_base.Exportform_ope
    titre="export sql"
    def export(self, query):
        pass#code to export

It does not, however, update titre as expected. What is the reason for this?
If i set titre in ExportViewBase, it works but in Export_view_sql it does not.

Will Belizeans vote 'yes' to take Guatemala's claim to the International Court of Justice? We won't have a definitive answer until a referendum is held and that will not happen this year. It is expected to be held after the re-registration exercise is fully completed. The general sentiment is that Belizeans do not want to take the matter to the ICJ. Love News conducted an online poll to get a more in-depth view of what Belizeans think about taking the claim to the ICJ. Nine point eight thousand persons participated in the poll. Of that number, eight point nine thousand or ninety one percent voted against taking the matter to the ICJ. Eight hundred and thirty five persons voted in favor of taking the matter to the ICJ. While we do acknowledge that anyone with a Facebook account could have participated in the poll, a review of the voters indicate that they are Belizeans who have made up their minds. However, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Wilfred Elrington, says he has no doubt in his mind that a 'yes' vote must be secured.
Hipolito Novelo, Love News reporter: Are you of the view as well that if Belizeans vote no come the referendum here in Belize that that would signal to the international community that the Belizean voters are against the peaceful resolution at the ICJ?
In 2013, a government-sanctioned poll was conducted which indicated that the voters were pro ICJ.


Creation of a new visual identity of the brand Fuxique, handmade affection.
The key brand identity was based on fuxico. The fuxico is a typical Brazilian manual labor, with the mixing of African, European and indigenous, resulted in props made of cotton with many colors in tropical style. Synonymous with gossip, was named as the women gathered to sew and whispering. In the last decade this technique has expanded, reaching all social classes to couture.
The icon chosen was the fuxico flower. One of the best known symbols of this kind of handicrafts, fuxico flower is made with various types of fabric and colors, and is the delicacy, the female and kindness. The traces refer to the material manufacturing, and indicate whim and dedication.
The colors used for the main brand were rosy red and yellow. The rosy red symbolizes love and affection, along with yellow, refers to heat and flowers.
The textures allow a secondary brand identification, creating a fun application that can be used in the visual identity materials.

Apple in talks with EV supply chain and battery vendors
Meghana Kandra· August 11, 2021
BusinessCarsElectric Vehicles
Apple car rumor resurfaces as the company is in talks with LG Electronics and SK Innovation. Recently the company was also known to be in talks with CATL, an EV battery manufacturer. The talks are early stage and it is too early to say anything. But things are in motion to manufacture Apple cars.
Image credits- Thankoni
Initially reported by a Taiwan-based Digitimes, Apple met with LG and SK group. It is also known that Apple is actively seeking partnerships in the supply chain and other business partners. Another Korean media outlet reported that Apple's executives were spotted in South Korea to talk about display sectors and semiconductors.
Due to the ongoing trade war between China and the US, Apple is most likely to rely on South Korean manufacturers. According to the reports, the Apple car could have other car components manufactured by Korean companies. However, to get in line with Joe Biden administration's focus on domestic-made products. So the components made in the US might be used. It is too early to find out where and how Apple cars might be manufaturered.
Flagship product
Apple is famous for selling its premium product, iPhone. Every Apple product has a brand value is created. By entering into the EV market they will diversify their products. Those premium features on iPhone are also expected in their cars if Apple cars are made.
The rumor of Apple cars has been running around since last year. Then in June, there were talks that Apple was in talks with Tesla's battery supplies in China, CATL. However, Tim Cook has been tight-lipped and there is no official news or confirmation from any source.
The urgency to produce the cars in coming years is evident, as third-party manufacturing would bring their first model release date nearer. But the high demand for semiconductor components and supply chain materials like raw materials is difficult. While the existing companies are struggling to continue their mass production, Apple being a newly entering company can face more challenges.
Korean Times posted, "Without partnerships with Korean vendors, Apple won't be able to complete its EV business plan. As far as I know, Apple has talked with LG, SK, and Hanwha, but the talks are still in the early stages."
Furthermore, investors in Apple are curious about the official updates. While some bulls believe the Apple stock value can change with the upcoming Apple car, others are still waiting for the official announcement. As per a Wall Street analyst, "Now it's at a point where it's coming: we believe 2024 or 2025 is when you see the Apple Car. But first, they lay the groundwork over the next three, six, nine months to get there."

In a live event on Silicon Prairie News, online and mobile payment system Dwolla has announced that Iowa native Ashton Kutcher is investing in the company.
Ashton Kutcher, Dwolla founder Ben Milne and discussed the move in the PrairieCast and the actor announced his intention to talk business in his home state.

Rumours of Kutcher's involvement with Dwolla have been around since February at least and this announcement adds to his portfolio, but the amount of money his company A-Grade Investments added to the $5m round remains undisclosed.
Kutcher, more usually known for his career as an actor and marriage to actress Demi Moore, has a long history of investment and wise decision making. To date his investments have included Amen, StyleSeat, Votizen, Chloe+Isabel, Gidsy, Airbnb, Airtime, AeroFS and Fab. That's not a bad portfolio to watch.
Having a famous name on board for any company is a boost to its profile. No doubt Dwolla are hoping that Kutcher's business sense thus far will mark them as a success about to explode. The company seems pleased, stating on its Facebook page "We are happy to welcome A-Grade Investments to our family!"

Qatar detained 2 journalists who reported on poor working conditions ahead of the World Cup. Now it claims they were trespassing.

Two journalists investigating working conditions in Qatar were detained for 32 hours on Sunday.
Qatar said they were arrested for trespassing on private property.
Rights groups say Qatar exploits migrant workers and subjects them to awful working conditions.
Qatar detained two Norwegian journalists who were investigating poor working conditions in the country ahead of the 2022 World Cup, and later accused them of trespassing.
Qatari police arrested and put into custody Halvor Ekeland and Lokman Ghorbani, who both work for Norway's NRK public broadcaster, as they traveled from their hotel to Doha airport on Sunday, NRK reported.
Hours earlier, the pair had broadcast a news segment on NRK's "Sportsrevyen" program in which Ekeland said some construction workers were "doing awfully," the VG newspaper reported.
"You can see in their eyes that they are not doing well. They work long days, and they work hard. And, of course, there are some workers that are doing fine," Ekeland said in the show, according to VG.
The pair were released on Tuesday morning after 32 hours in detention, but told NRK on their return to Norway that they were each questioned for eight hours, kept in a cell with 10 to 12 other people, and forced to sign a document in Arabic that they could not read.
In a statement released Wednesday, the Qatari Government Communications Office said the duo were arrested "for trespassing on private property and filming without a permit."
"The authorities arrested the crew after responding to a complaint made by the owner of the private property on which the crew had illegally accessed," it said.
Qatar won the bid to host the 2022 soccer World Cup in 2010, and rights groups have since slammed the country's treatment of construction workers, many of whom were working on stadiums for the tournament.
A report released last week by the International Labour Organization said that at least 50 workers have died and 500 have been severely injured in 2020.
"Most [injuries] were suffered by migrant workers from Bangladesh, India and Nepal, mainly in the construction industry," the report said.
Qatar's Ministry of Labour said subsequently that the number of migrant workers fatalities as reported in the press were "wildly misleading."
According to Human Rights Watch, many migrant workers in Qatar are denied basic rights and are effectively trapped in the country due to a system of sponsorship whereby a worker's legal status is tied to their employment.
"The system criminalizes 'absconding,' that is, leaving an employer without permission, for example, to change jobs. Migrant workers are also often subjected to the routine confiscation of their passports by employers and pay recruitment fees to secure jobs in the Gulf, which can keep them indebted for years," the group said in an August report.
In 2017, Qatar signed an agreement with the International Labour Organization in which it promised to tackle labor exploitation and "align its laws and practices with international labor standards."
In 2015, police in Qatar arrested a group of BBC journalists who were in the country investigating worker conditions. As with the case of the NRK reporters, Qatar said they were arrested for trespassing.

Q: Cannot import XSSF in Apache POI I am referencing the version 3.7 of the Apache POI and I am getting a "cannot be resolved" error when I do:
import org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.XSSFWorkbook;

Other import statements that reference POI DO NOT give me errors, such as:
import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.*;

Any ideas??

A: If you use Maven:
poi => poi-ooxml in artifactId
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.poi</groupId>
        <artifactId>poi-ooxml</artifactId>
        <version>3.12</version>
    </dependency>

A: I Got the Solution Guys
You need to keep some points in your mind .

*

*There are two different dependency one is (poi) & other dependency is (poi-
ooxml) but make sure you must use poi-ooxml dependency in your code.

*Just Add the following dependency in pom.xml & Save it.
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.poi</groupId>
  <artifactId>poi-ooxml</artifactId>
  <version>3.9</version>
  </dependency>

3 .After you have saved the pom.xml then you need to try a small thing ,Use
(.) operator will try to import/fetch it & finally will not see any sort of error
because now it has imported that thing in your package.
Sample Code to Understand Better !!
package ReadFile;// package
import org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.XSSFWorkbook;  // automatically added to your code after importing
public class Test
{
public static void Hello() // Method
{
XSSFWorkbook workbook = new XSSFWorkbook();
}
}

I tried my best to give you the solution , If you face any issue comment here i will try
to solve it .
Keep Learning Guys !!

A: Problem: While importing the " org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.XSSFWorkbook"class showing an error in eclipse.
Solution: Use This maven dependency to resolve this problem:
<dependency>
   <groupId>org.apache.poi</groupId>
   <artifactId>poi-ooxml</artifactId>
   <version>3.15</version>
</dependency>

-Hari Krishna Neela

A: The classes for the OOXML file formats (such as XSSF for .xlsx) are in a different Jar file. You need to include the poi-ooxml jar in your project, along with the dependencies for it
You can get a list of all the components and their dependencies on the POI website here.
What you probably want to do is download the 3.11 binary package, grab the poi-ooxml jar from it, and the dependencies in the ooxml-lib directory. Import these into your project and you'll be sorted.
Alternately, if you use Maven, you can see here for the list of the artificats you'll want to depend on, but it'd want to be something like:
<dependency>
   <groupId>org.apache.poi</groupId>
   <artifactId>poi-ooxml</artifactId>
   <version>3.11</version>
</dependency>

The poi-ooxml maven dependency will pull in the main POI jar and the dependencies for you automatically. If you want to work with the non-spreadsheet formats, you'd also want to depend on the poi-scratchpad artifact too, as detailed on the POI components page

A: For OOXML to work you need the POI-OOXML jar which is separately packaged from the POI jar.
Download the POI-OOXML jar from the following location -
http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/poi/poi-ooxml/3.11/poi-ooxml-3.11.jar
For Maven2 add the below dependency -
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.poi</groupId>
    <artifactId>poi-ooxml</artifactId>
    <version>3.11</version>
</dependency>

A: 1) imported all the JARS from POI folder
2) Imported all the JARS from ooxml folder which a subdirectory of POI folder
3) Imported all the JARS from lib folder which is a subdirectory of POI folder
String fileName = "C:/File raw.xlsx";
File file = new File(fileName);
FileInputStream fileInputStream;
Workbook workbook = null;
Sheet sheet;
Iterator<Row> rowIterator;
try {
        fileInputStream = new FileInputStream(file);
        String fileExtension = fileName.substring(fileName.indexOf("."));
        System.out.println(fileExtension);
        if(fileExtension.equals(".xls")){
        workbook  = new HSSFWorkbook(new POIFSFileSystem(fileInputStream));
        }
        else if(fileExtension.equals(".xlsx")){
        workbook  = new XSSFWorkbook(fileInputStream);
        }
        else {
        System.out.println("Wrong File Type");
        }
        FormulaEvaluator evaluator workbook.getCreationHelper().createFormulaEvaluator();
        sheet = workbook.getSheetAt(0);
        rowIterator = sheet.iterator();
        while(rowIterator.hasNext()){
        Row row = rowIterator.next();
        Iterator<Cell> cellIterator = row.cellIterator();
        while (cellIterator.hasNext()){
        Cell cell = cellIterator.next();
        //Check the cell type after evaluating formulae
       //If it is formula cell, it will be evaluated otherwise no change will happen
        switch (evaluator.evaluateInCell(cell).getCellType()){
        case Cell.CELL_TYPE_NUMERIC:
        System.out.print(cell.getNumericCellValue() + " ");
        break;
        case Cell.CELL_TYPE_STRING:
        System.out.print(cell.getStringCellValue() + " ");
        break;
        case Cell.CELL_TYPE_FORMULA:
        Not again
        break;
        case Cell.CELL_TYPE_BLANK:
        break;
        }
}
 System.out.println("\n");
}
//System.out.println(sheet);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}

A: I had the same problem, so I dug through the poi-3.17.jar file and there was no xssf package inside.
I then went through the other files and found xssf int the poi-ooxml-3.17.jar
So it seems the solutions is to add
poi-ooxml-3.17.jar

to your project, as that seems to make it work (for me at least)

A: I added below contents in app "build.gradle"
implementation 'org.apache.poi:poi:4.0.0'
implementation 'org.apache.poi:poi-ooxml:4.0.0'

A: After trying multiple things,what really worked was:
1. downloading "poi" and "poi-ooxml" manually
2.Adding these d/w jars into "Maven Dependencies"

A: Actual for 06.11.2021 days:
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.poi</groupId>
    <artifactId>poi</artifactId>
    <version>5.1.0</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.poi</groupId>
    <artifactId>poi-ooxml</artifactId>
    <version>5.1.0</version>
</dependency>

A: You did not described the environment, anyway, you should download apache poi libraries. If you are using eclipse , right click on your root project , so properties and in java build path add external jar and import in your project those libraries :
xmlbeans-2.6.0 ; poi-ooxml-schemas- ... ; poi-ooxml- ... ; poi- .... ;

A: I needed the following files for my implementation:

*

*poi-ooxml-schemas-3.14.20160307.jar

*commons-codec-1.10.jar (this was in "lib" folder of the zip file you
get from apache)

*curvesapi-1.03.jar (in "ooxml-lib" folder)

*poi-3.14-20160307.jar

*poi-ooxml-3.14-20160307.jar

*xmlbeans-2.6.0.jar (in "ooxml-lib" folder)

(though honestly, I'm not completely sure they are all necessary...)  It's a little confusing because they are packaged that way.  I needed to place them manually in my own "lib" folder and then add the references...
Maven always seems to download more than I need, so I always place libaries/dlls and things like that manually.

A: If you use Maven:
Add the poi and the poi-ooxml dependency to make it work :)
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.poi</groupId>
  <artifactId>poi</artifactId>
  <version>${poi.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.poi</groupId>
  <artifactId>poi-ooxml</artifactId>
  <version>${poi-ooxml.version}</version>
</dependency>

A: First you need to add the following dependencies in your pom.xml:
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.poi</groupId>
            <artifactId>poi-ooxml</artifactId>
            <version>5.2.2</version>
        </dependency>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.poi</groupId>
            <artifactId>poi</artifactId>
            <version>5.2.2</version>
        </dependency>

NOTE: If your project still cannot find the dependecy, add  the following line in your module-info.java:
requires poi.ooxml;

Q: Position sprite at bottom center of orthographic camera I'm trying to position sprites at the bottom center of the orthographic camera.
This is what I have currently -
The object:
function Obj() {
  const texture = useLoader(THREE.TextureLoader, loadedimg);

  const spriteRef = useRef();

  return (
    <group>
      <sprite
        position={[1,  ???, 0]}
        ref={spriteRef}
        scale={[texture.image.width * 1.5, texture.image.height * 1.5, 1]}
      >
        <spriteMaterial
          attach="material"
          map={texture}
          sizeAttenuation={false}
        />
      </sprite>
    </group>
  );
}

The camera rendering:
      <Canvas orthographic camera>
        <Suspense fallback={<React.Fragment>loading...</React.Fragment>}>
          <Obj />
        </Suspense>
      </Canvas

I've tried to come up with a calculation that could work for all different sprites (they all have different heights so for example one of them would be positioned at the bottom by setting position={[1, -128, 0]} while for the other those coordinates would just leave it floating due to it being shorter in height). I looked at the documentation and the center attribute for sprites doesn't seem to do what I'd like it to, all of the examples I've seen position it at the corners of the screen or right in the middle.
Thanks for your help !

A: With an Orthographic camera, it's easy to find the bottom of the frustum as long as the camera doesn't rotate. Since all edges of an ortho cam are parallel, the bottom can be obtained with camera.bottom, regardless of how deep in the z-axis the sprite is. The top is camera.top and then you can just find a value in between those two to be placed wherever you'd like.

Report: Beyonce to Play Brit Awards
February 10th, 2014 by K104
Columbia RecordsBeyonce reportedly will take the stage during the this year's Brit Awards at London's 02 arena on February 19.
According to U.K.'s Metro, sources reveal the diva will perform at the event. "Beyonce is on. The only reason this has not yet been announced officially is because the Brits guys are nervous that it could all go wrong again," a source spills. "But what I can tell you is that in her camp it's 99.9 per cent on."
If those rumors prove to be accurate, her showcase will mark her second performance for the ceremony — she previously performed "Crazy in Love" ten years ago. The Brit Awards are the U.K. equivalent of the Grammys.
The set would also fall in line with Bey's U.K. tour kick off, beginning in Glasgow, Scotland on February 20.

Q: Does python has something similar to _ENV in lua? In Lua script, when i have to wirte too many lines like:
obj.age=17
obj.name="jack"
obj.country="US"
...
obj.weight=100

I can use _ENV to simpify the code:
_ENV=obj
age=17
name="jack"
country="US"
...
weight=100

Namely, I can avoid typing obj. repeatedly, is there a way in python to do like this? I searched on net buf found nothing.
I need to use python script as a configuration file, and the latter format seems better.

A: Why not
obj = {
    'age': 17,
    'name': 'jack',
    'country': 'US',
    ...,
    'weight': 100
}

? Newlines need no \ here, since they are inside a pair of braces.
Of course, this builds a dictionary, but do you really need an object of a specific class in a configuration?

A: You can easily do it using SimpleNamespace (Python3 only)
import types
obj = types.SimpleNamespace(
    age=17
    name="jack"
    country="US"
    ...
    weight=100
)

A: You really asked two questions in one.
For the second about storing configuration, you can

*

*write your vars in say, a 'config.py' module. Then import config as cfg and manipulate using cfg. qualified names. You can also from config import * for direct use but that's not recommended and you loose write capability in the original config module. They are copied into current namespace, not linked.

*simply use a dictionary to hold your settings like Walter said. They are the obvious builtin type for that.

*make your own Configuration class, instantiate cfgand manipulate attributes through cfg. qualifier.

*use a shelf, a persistant dict with the shelve module.

*Because shelves use pickle and this is a binary format used mostly in Python (I think)to store objects, you may prefer to use some more human oriented open format like suggested by DeepSpace and Cartucho (see configparser for .iniand so on).

*Much like with the class case, use a namedtuple or a SimpleNamespace (didn't know this one) like Wouda and luminousmen said.

Probably there are even more choices but I think the list looks enough for most tastes.
Now for the first question, that I think is a very good one, I am almost sure that the answer is no, you can't do that in Python. From here I found this which is the reasoning for self use obligation. Safety, explicitness, and performance it looks. I suppose if it were to be allowed, you could use it too for self, and maybe that's why you can't.
I sometimes miss that feature too.


Wow Wedding Shows are proud to be associated with some of the UK's finest venues, which make stunning backdrops to our wedding shows. We have been organising wedding shows for the past 13 years and carefully select each venue to ensure everybody who attends (both exhibitors and visitors) has an amazing day.
WOW Wedding Shows advertise all their shows in a professional way, using a diverse range of media formats and methods to ensure good attendance.
You may not have heard of Wow Wedding Shows, although you may have come across our wedding shows. This is mainly because we promote each show individually by its own name, i.e., The Bristol Wedding Show, as it is the Show and Venue that are important, not us.
We limit the number of exhibitors in each category to give you a better chance of taking business, either directly at the show, or as the result of a lead generated from the show. This also gives the bridal parties who come along to the show, a wider selection of services and products, making the show more interesting and therefore more memorable for them.

The EPA's Proposed Change to HVAC Equipment Ratings Tests
A proposal put forward by the Environmental Protection Agency would allow only EPA studies in which raw data is shared with the public to move forward. The proposed Strengthening Transparency in Regulatory Science was put forward by former EPA Administrator Scott Pruit. Currently, when the Department of Energy conducts lab tests on HVAC equipment, the raw data of the tests are not made public. That's because some studies use patient medical records, which by law must be confidential, to find a link between public health and the environment. The new rule would only allow tests in which the raw data could be released. Supporters of the new proposal, like Francis Dietz, vice president of public affairs at the Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI), say having the raw data could help manufacturers check the economic and technical findings of regulators. Opponents of the proposed rule say it would limit studies on the health and environmental impacts of chemicals or emissions.

Cover only with small Signs of Usage. Mid-19th century Bovril bottle from Hulme Barracks, Manchester In November 2018 I stepped down as Chair of the Council for British Archaeology North West after six years. Updated to reflect the complexities of relationships today, this new edition reveals intrinsic truths and applies relevant, actionable wisdom in ways that work. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. On the positive side, Lancashire County Council re-opened Queen Street Mill and Helmshore Mill industrial museums in spring 2018 and have committed themselves to finding a long-term future for both nationally important industrial museums and are seeking to establish a partnership with the National Trust. I wish the new Chair and committee well as they navigate the choppy waters of archaeology and heritage discovery and protection over the next few years.
The Great Northern Warehouse, in the centre of Manchester, was the last of the monumental road, rail and canal interchanges to be built in the Victorian period. The Duke's Warehouse in the Castlefield Canal Basin in Manchester was the first canal warehouse to have the classic design features of internal canal arms, multi-storeys, split level loading, terracing and water powered hoists, and was built between 1769 and 1771. As general purpose redistribution centres they were a vital element in feeding the rapidly growing industrial urban populations of the region. . Includes the Couple's Personal Profile assessment so you can discover your love language and that of your loved one. Furthermore, their design influenced the building of the first railway warehouses, and later the textile warehouse, and although the canals were superseded by the railway, the canal warehouse remained an important element of the transport economy until the arrival of road haulage in the 1920s.
The North West is a region with an archaeology as diverse as its landscape, from the Mesolithic remains on the moors, to internationally significant iconic monuments of the Industrial Revolution. The last six years has seen great changes in the region with increasing threats from funding cuts and redevelopment. Both represent the Victorian approach to industrialised transhipment and redistribution brought about by the railways. We are an independent charity funded by our members' subscriptions. The warehouse at Delph was a multi-purpose structure, whilst the Summerseat warehouse appears to have been a small cotton warehouse and was notable as surviving almost completely intact. For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare - poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights.
An Archaeological Research Framework for North West England: Volume 1 Resource Assessment. A conference such as this is a great focus for the community, with members and non-members getting together to share local knowledge and make connections of their own. Goggins calls this The 40% Rule, and his story illuminates a path that anyone can follow to push past pain, demolish fear, and reach their full potential. We cover the counties of Cheshire and Lancashire, plus Greater Manchester and Merseyside. In North West England one autumn conference has been a regular fixture for more than 30 years: the annual get-together of the Council for British Archaeology North West. We followed this with a tour of the nearby Quarry Bank Mill textile village. The two warehouses recorded here each reflected the needs of the railway company.
Armed Forces icon and one of the world's top endurance athletes. Finished in 1898, it marked the close of the canal warehouse tradition and the beginning of motorised road transport storage. As in the previous five years of the fortunes of archaeology in the region in the last twelve months have been varied. Publishers: Manchester University Press 1982. Structures such as these were an integral part of the branch lines and secondary lines that developed across the network during the mid- to late 19th century.
Traditionally, the autumn conference has brought together individuals, local voluntary groups, professional bodies, academics, and heritage partners. The archaeology of this region is as diverse as its landscape, from the often-elusive remains of the Iron Age to iconic monuments of the Industrial Revolution. In this document North West archaeology was mentioned in the context of severe local Government cut backs to industrial museum funding see above. The project is due to end in early 2019 and the group is in the process of editing a volume updating the resource assessment.

With at least 58 surviving canal warehouses across the region, from Kendal in the north to Bunbury in the south, North- West England contains one of the largest, and most important, groups of canal warehouses in Europe Figures 1 and 2.

Degussa AG Opened New R&D Centre in Shanghai
The new, 6,900-square metre R&D centre at Shanghai Xinzhuang has recently been opened by Degussa AG.
The site has been opened with the purpose of combining state-of-the-art laboratories, facilities for marketing and application engineering and technical after-sales service. It also supports the intensive linking knowledge initiative launched by Degussa AG earlier this year, focusing on determining synergies between the numerous Degussa products dedicated to the composite industry.
The R&D centre will comprise a total of 21 laboratories. One of them, the "Asia/Pacific Rohacell Sandwich Technology Centre" will be fully operative by the end of August 2004.
The new Rohacell Sandwich Technology Centre offers a novel forum to present and to evaluate state-of-the-art sandwich manufacture methods, such as:
manufacture of sandwich components with thermoset and thermoplastic prepreg skins
thermoforming of Rohacell cores
machining of complex core shapes
Specific emphasis has been put on resin infusion processes such as RTM, VARTM and VARI for composite manufacture.
The Rohacell Sandwich Technology Centre in Shanghai will become the focal point of contact in Asia/Pacific for questions relating to manufacturing of structural composites.
The new Centre of expertise is similar to the Sandwich Technology Centre (STC) which has been open in Darmstadt, Germany since 2001.

For There Shall Be A Sowing Of Peace – Sowing Bible Verses.
Sowing is commonly used as an Agricultural term meaning the planting of seeds. Different seed gives rise to different fruit and produce which ultimately leads to various kinds of Harvest. If you sow Pumpkin seeds, you will get Pumpkins. If you sow Orange seeds, you will get an Orange Tree which will give you Oranges.
You can't sow wheat seed and expect to get apples. This is a universal principle that governs sowing and reaping. Now, this principle also extends to faith and spirituality. Spiritual seed can include: Money, time, praise, worship, commitment, fellowship, giving, service etc.
And as Christians we are encouraged to sow so that we can reap a harvest of blessings. But, we should also be careful what seed we sow, because the seed sown will affect the kind of harvest we shall get. Below, I have collected 10 simple Bible Verses on Sowing, to remind you about this important process.
Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy. 6 Those who go out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with them.
What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. 37 And as for what you sow — you are not sowing the future body, but only a seed, perhaps of wheat or another grain. 38 But God gives it a body as He wants, and to each of the seeds its own body.

The originator of the custard pie in the face gag, and the man who gave Charlie Chaplin and Stanley Jefferson (Laurel) their first chance in show business was born in Exeter on 26th March 1866, in Paul Street, with the name Frederick John Westcott. Although the family had moved to Nottingham by the time Fred was nine years old, he always said "Devon born and proud of it". He was indentured to a plumber for 7 years. Fred joined a gymnasium after doing some repairs there - a natural athlete he was soon winning prizes at local fêtes. He joined with a juggler to become Alvene and Leonaro in a circus. This led to pantomime and another collaboration with gymnasts Bob Sewell and Ted Tysall as the Three Karnos. He started calling himself Fred Karno, although he didn't change his name by deed poll until 1914.
By the 1890's Karno started to concentrate on promoting slapstick comedy acts using a range of different performers. By 1906 he was promoting 32 different sketches around the country. Fred became so successful that he turned his house in Vaughan Road, London into the Fun Factory, a headquarters for nurturing new talent, storing props and managing acts. He can be credited with discovering Max Miller, and Flanagan and Allen although his most famous discoveries are Charlie Chaplin and Stan Laurel. He first appeared on stage with a young Charlie Chaplin in 1901, after Syd Chaplin, who was an employee, had persuaded Fred to take his young brother on.
In 1908, Fred Karno leased his first theatre, the old Royal Public Rooms in London Inn Square, renaming it the Hippodrome.
The first nights performance in September 1908 "...opened to overflowing houses with a variety programme that won general applause from all parts of the house." The programme included the "...drawing-room performance of the Dandies to the neat acrobatics of Archie Rogers, the comedy items of Ivy Proudfoot, Lenton and Lane, Bert Terrell, and Jack Pleasants, the clever burlesque of Rubart, and the eccentricities of old friend Rabbit, with a capital lot of living pictures at the finish."
Probably the most successful comedy sketch put on by Karno was the Mumming Birds, a show within a show that featured acts that were both chaotic and bad, while they were barracked by a drunken toff and and an uncle with his loud nephew sitting in theatre boxes, on each side of the performance area.
The year after the Hippodrome opened, Fred Karno sent a troupe of his performers, including Chaplin and Laurel to America. The show was a great success and Chaplin was lured by Mack Sennet to Hollywood, to appear in those new fangled moving pictures. Stan Laurel followed, and joined the Hal Roach Studios.
We are the ragtime infantry.
What bleeding use are we?
In the 1920's, variety and music hall suffered from the success of cinema and in 1926, Karno was declared bankrupt. He had married, but separated from his wife Edith in 1904 after what was by all accounts, an abusive marriage. They had eight children in as many years, although only two survived to adulthood. His wife died in 1927 of diabetes, allowing Fred to marry, three weeks later his long-time mistress, Marie Moore. He went to America in 1928 and joined the Hal Roach Studios, where he tried directing an early Laurel and Hardy film, but left after six months to return to Britain where he made a brief return to producing shows with Karno's Krazy Komics. In the 1930's he made six small-budget films at Ealing Studios, without much success, leaving him in debt. He died in 1941, of diabetes at the age of 75, in Poole, Dorset.
In 1903, Fred Karno purchased a houseboat on the Thames called Highland Lassie. In 1913, he had the Astoria houseboat built for him on the River Thames at Brentford, Middlesex, at a cost of £20,000. It was sold after he was made bankrupt in the late 1920's. It is now used as a recording studio by David Gilmour of Pink Floyd, and A momentary Lapse of Reason and the Division Bell were recorded there, as well as albums by Kula Shaker and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. The Hippodrome, closed in 1931 and was converted into the Plaza Cinema.
The Plaza Cinema–the Hippdrome closed in 1931 to become the Plaza.

Traditional Chinese culture stressed in revised curriculum standards
Updated: Jun 21,2019 4:35 PM chinadaily.com.cn
The Ministry of Education held a press conference on June 20 on a guideline issued by the General Office of the State Council on advancing reform in senior high school education a day earlier and introduced the revision on curriculum plans, curriculum standards and teaching materials for senior high school.
The ministry had asked experts to compile textbooks of Chinese, history and politics for the whole country and revised textbooks of other subjects.
Curriculum standards for 17 subjects have been revised and three new curriculum standards for German, French and Spanish have been issued.
Education on socialist core values, excellent traditional Chinese culture, revolutionary culture and advanced socialist culture will be further integrated into curriculum standards on all subjects. The new curriculum standards will reflect the latest achievements in adapting Marxism to Chinese conditions, the new achievements in social and economic development and technology advancement. More attention will be put on internal relations and interaction of different subjects.
The revised curriculum plans for senior high school emphasize that senior high school education is a basic education for the mass public to improve students' quality. It not only prepares students for college, but also prepares them to adapt to the society and career development. It should lay the foundation for their lifelong development.

DALLAS – The surge in Dallas-Fort Worth home prices is showing signs of moderating, according to the latest S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller home-price index.
Area prices for July were up 7.3 percent from a year ago in the comparison of the 20 largest U.S. cities. That was strong enough to rank North Texas fourth nationally (in a tie with Detroit) behind Seattle, Portland, and Las Vegas.
Nationwide, prices were up 5.9 percent from a year ago.
North Texas home prices had posted 8 percent annual gains from 2014 through May, when they slipped fractionally to 7.8 percent. In June, the region's annual gain was 7.7 percent. In July, the gain dipped to 7.3 percent.
S&P managing director David Blitzer said the housing market will face two contradicting challenges this year and next: Post-hurricane rebuilding in Texas, Florida, and other parts of the South will create further pressure on housing supply, while the Federal Reserve's recent move to shrink its balance sheet could push up mortgage rates.

disBalancer (укр. Дізбе́ленсер)  -  український проєкт, що працює у сфері кібербезпеки з використанням Інтернет-технології Web 3.0 та надає послуги з тестування стійкості вебсайтів до DDoS-атак і захисту нових криптовалют від кіберзлочинців. Для своєї діяльності проєкт винаймає надлишкові обчислювальні ресурси у користувачів. Після широкомасштабного вторгнення росії 24 лютого 2022 року, команда проєкту створила програму для DDoS-атак на сайти російської пропаганди та зібрала кібервійсько для боротьби проти агресора в інформаційній війні.

Проєкт було створено в 2021 році в рамках заходу "First Grey Hat Hackers Ideas Competition", організованого компанією Hacken у квітні 2021 року. Виборовши спеціальну нагороду у змаганнях, команда приєдналася до Hacken Foundation, аби надалі розвивати свій продукт . Разом із запуском проєкту команда оголосила про створення власної криптовалюти (DDOS).

Участь у кібервійні проти росії

З початком повномасштабної російської збройної агресії проти України, проєкт не залишився осторонь боротьби. У перший день учасники вирішили адаптувати розроблений код для атаки вебресурсів російської пропаганди, що спотворювала відомості про хід подій в Україні  і посилення ініціативи IT Army of Ukraine, створеної Міністерством цифрової трансформації України . Реліз оновленого додатку з назвою Liberator відбувся 4 березня 2022 року , .

Цілі, вектори атак і послідовники ініціативи
Програма Liberator реалізовує 5 векторів DDoS-атак, серед яких виокремлюються: вебресурси критичної інфраструктури (банки, залізничне сполучення, системи бухгалтерського та податкового обліку, стрімінгові сервіси і т.п); сайти російської пропаганди; підроблені сайти благодійних фондів, що привласнюють пожертвування, спрямовані на підтримку України; ресурси, які використовують з метою саботажу та шпигунства, збирають і розповсюджують інформацію про українських військових .

Підтримка та критика під час кібервійни
Проєкт отримав широку інформаційну підтримку    .
Додаток Liberator завантажили біля 10 000 нових користувачів усього за 4 дні від початку запуску ініціативи. Така кількість нових учасників забезпечила команді понад 6000 активних користувачів у режимі реального часу під час перших тижнів широкомасштабної війни .
Загальна кількість встановлень перевищила 100 000 нових користувачів. Більшість із користувачів - українці, проте дані про географічне розташування учасників ініціативи з'ясувати неможливо, оскільки під час атак вони використовують сервіси VPN .

Поширення інформації про хактивістську діяльність disBalancer стало причиною розповсюдження зловмисниками у Telegram-каналах та групах шкідливого шпигунського програмного забезпечення із назвою Disbalancer.exe . Цей факт спричинив скандал у блогах з кібербезпеки, однак компанії з кібербезпеки спростували причетність disBalancer до крадіжки даних користувачів .

Search And Rescue: First HH139B Helicopter Delivered to Italian Air Force's 15th Wing
(Source: Italian Air Force; issued Nov. 30, 2020)
The "B" version of the HH-139 helicopter features an increased payload, a more powerful rescue winch and an improved sensor suite, as well as a mission console to better manage the mission. The Italian Air Force has ordered 17 "B" versions. (IT AF photo)
On November 30, the first HH139B helicopter landed in Cervia, intended to complete and strengthen the helicopter fleet of the 15th Wing and its subordinate SAR Centers and Groups.
The helicopter was handed over on November 27 at the Leonardo plant in Vergiate (VA), following the successful conclusion of the testing and acceptance procedures conducted by the personnel of the Aeronautical Armaments and Airworthiness Department (DAAA), together with the men of the employee of the Territorial Technical Office of Milan (UTT) and the support of the Experimental Flight Department of the Air Force.
The delivery of the helicopters will be completed in 2021, with the delivery of 17 "B" version helicopters to the Flying Groups of Cervia and the Search and Rescue centers located on the national territory (80th C/SAR Center at Decimomannu; 82nd C/SAR Center at Trapani; 84th C / SAR Center of Gioia del Colle and 85th C/SAR Center of Pratica di Mare.
The new HH-139B version has some technical features that improve its operational capabilities, and therefore increase its flexibility in responding to emergencies and security needs.
In particular, the new version has been equipped with a double winch that increases the reliability of the system and safety during recovery operations and a "mission console" that allows better management of the on-board equipment for the purpose of searching for any missing persons.
In addition, the maximum take-off weight has been increased, from 6800kg to 7000kg, which allows a greater load capacity and finally it has been updated with the latest-generation avionics and on-board sensors (such as the AIS system - Automatic Identification System - which allows better interaction with vessels, and the OPLS - Obstacle Proximity LIDAR System - which favors identification and separation with elevated obstacles.
The 15 ° Stormo has the task of recovering crews in difficulty in peacetime (SAR - Search and rescue) and in times of crisis and in operations outside national borders (C / SAR - Combat SAR), to support special forces operations as well as to contribute in the event of serious disasters to activities of public utility such as the search for missing persons at sea or in the mountains, the emergency medical transport of patients in danger of life and the rescue of seriously injured persons, transport in bio-containment and, recently, also support for forest fire fighting activities.
The training level of the crews, the technological characteristics of the helicopters supplied as well as the use of special equipment and techniques, such as the use of night vision goggles, often make the 15 ° Stormo the only helicopter component capable of successfully managing situations more complex emergencies thanks, for example, to the ability to use during the day, at night and in marginal weather conditions.
Whenever a helicopter of the 15th Wing takes off it is either saving a human life, or training to do so. In fact, since its establishment until today, the crews of the 15th Wing have saved over 7200 people in life-threatening circumstances.

Schwarz, Frederick August Otto
F.A.O. Schwarz
It could be said that Frederick A.O. Schwarz, founder of the F.A.O. Schwarz toy store, lived the immigrant fairy tale that most 19th-century newcomers dreamt of when they came to the United States. An entrepreneur who started working at age 14 in his homeland, Schwarz became hugely successful in his adopted country, establishing what would become America's most famous toy store. The F.A.O. Schwarz name is now instantly recognizable to consumers, who have come to see the chain as a mecca for toy shopping. F.A.O. Schwarz, which specializes in distinctive products attracts both shoppers as well as collectors. The "ultimate toy store," as the retail outlet has come to be known, has 13 branches throughout the United States. Its flagship stores are located in New York City, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Chicago, and Orlando, Florida. The chain has also installed over 20 "mall-flagship" stores across the country. In all, F.A.O. Schwarz had 38 locations by 1998.
Frederick August Otto Schwarz was born in Herford, Westphalia, Germany, on October 18, 1836. He was the son of Frederick and Frederica (Rothe) Schwarz. His father was a jeweler who enjoyed a reputation as an expert goldsmith and silversmith.
As a boy, Schwarz was educated in a Westphalia school. For him, higher education meant active involvement in the business world at a young age. When he turned 14, he secured an apprenticeship with one of the city's leading merchants. He remained apprenticed to the merchant for four years. From this experience he received a broad business training that would benefit him when he eventually moved to the United States.
Schwarz was just 20 years old when he embarked from his homeland to America in 1856. He made the sea voyage in a sailing vessel, a trip which lasted over two months. Once in America, he located himself in Baltimore, Maryland. His two older brothers had already settled in that city and had become successful importers of toys and fancy goods.
Schwarz married Caroline, on March 12, 1862, in New York City. They had six children, three sons and three daughters. Throughout his life, he traveled to Europe, which was then the most important toy-producing region, each year in order to do business. He died on May 17, 1911 in New York City.
Schwarz graduated to the next step in his personal education when his brothers took him on as an employee with the intentions of making him a partner. He worked for the brothers, also as an importer, for six years before they admitted him into a partnership in 1862.
Eight years later, in 1870, Schwarz finally went into business for himself. He relocated to New York City and, using his own money, he opened the Schwarz toy bazaar. Schwarz was aided in this enterprise by his experience working for his brothers. His brothers, who had contacts with the best toy sources in Europe, continued to help him and his business prospered. The store was located at 765 Broadway, where Schwarz remained for nine years. That location allowed the business to continue to grow, as it was in the center of one of the city's most fashionable shopping districts. The first F.A.O. Schwarz catalog was published in 1876. The catalog would become one of the store's merchandising staples.
Schwarz then moved the business to 42 East 14th Street. In this location, he became the largest toy dealer in the world. He moved the business once again, in 1897, to 39 and 41 West 23rd Street, where his toy store occupied an entire seven-floor building and sat atop a basement that stretched an entire city block.
New competition emerged when New York department stores began selling toys. In 1875 Macy opened the first toy section of a department store, and in the mid-1880s both Ward's and Sears and Roebuck began featuring dolls in their catalogs. None of these efforts seemed to hurt Schwarz, however. By 1908, Schwarz offered 16,000 items in his giant store.
F.A.O. Schwarz has been noted not only for the quality and uniqueness of the store's merchandise, but for the way in which the merchandise has been promoted. The advertising success of the company began with Schwarz himself when the company introduced its first catalog in 1876. Legend has it that in 1875 Schwarz used the first live dressed-up Santa Claus to ever be used to promote seasonal sales.
Schwarz was involved in other business adventures during his lifetime. He was one of the founders of the Astor Place Bank and the Fourteenth Street Bank, both located in New York City. He became director of both institutions. He would later serve on the advisory board of the Astor Place Bank.
The company continued to thrive after Schwarz's death in 1911. By the 1980s, though, the company suffered a period of stagnation and faced competition from chain stores such as Toys 'R' Us. F.A.O. Schwarz CEO and president Peter Harris returned to the old Schwarz philosophy of magic displays and special merchandise. In an effort to revive the entertaining environment that the store had been known for, Harris installed 100 thematic boutiques throughout the New York store. Branch stores also received new looks in an attempt to restore the enchantment customers once experienced in a Schwarz store. The stores also returned to emphasizing specialty toys, producing a collectibles catalog along with the regular catalog. Today, many visit the F.A.O. Schwarz stores to view and interact with the stores' displays, including the giant pinball track and xylophone bridge at the Chicago location. As did the original store, today's stores sell many exclusive products, maintaining a toy hotline that customers can call to gain assistance in finding older or more unusual toys. The mail-order service that has always been a part of the F.A.O. Schwarz tradition continues today through catalogs and through online shopping possibilities available through the company's web site.
Social and Economic Impact
F.A.O. Schwarz, a privately held company that does not partner with any outside organizations, has managed to endure for more than a century. This could be attributed to both respect for tradition, hearkening back to Schwarz' own approach, and a willingness to look ahead. Recent management has sought to keep one eye directed at the past and one toward the future, wide open to accept technological advancement and the opportunity it presents. Today, F.A.O. Schwarz is owned by KBB, a large Dutch retail group.
For much of its existence, the store that Frederick Otto August Schwarz built has enjoyed a reputation as one of the finest toy dealers in the world and as the top toy seller in America. Distinctive product and store design, attention to service, exclusive merchandise and an interactive display approach all combined to elevate F.A.O. Schwarz above the competition in both the hearts and minds of customers, whether they were an average consumer or a toy connoisseur. The store has occupied a unique niche since it opened, operating with a flamboyant flair that makes the stores as much tourist attractions as retail outlets.

Q: Find the probability that the median of the three uniform numbers is less than 0.4.
Three numbers are randomly and independently selected from the interval (0, 1). Determine the probability that the median of the three numbers is less than 0.4.

I know that in order for this to happen, we need at least two values to be < 0.4. I'm just not sure where to go from here and what formula to use. Thanks in advance!

A: Hint:

*

*Find the probability the first is below $0.4$, the second is below $0.4$, and the third is above $0.4$

*Multiply this by the number of ways you can have this pattern with three different users

*Add the probability all three are below $0.4$

A: Comment: Let $X$ be the number of observations below $0.4.$
Then $X \sim \mathsf{Binom}(3, 0.4).$
As you say, the median is below $0.4,$ if $X \ge 2.$
Here are three methods of evaluation, the first of which is @Henry's (+1).
(1) You seek
$$P(X \ge 2) = P(X=2)+P(X =3)\\ = 3(.4)^2(.6) + (.4)^3 = 0.352.$$
(2) Also, $P(X \ge 2) = 1 - P(X \le 1) = 0.352;$ computation in R, where pbinom is a binomial CDF.
1 - pbinom(1, 3, .4)
[1] 0.352

(3) Looking at the distribution of the median: Simulation in R of a million iterations: each sampling three independent standard
uniform values and taking their median. One can expect
three place accuracy.
set.seed(2020)
med = replicate(10^6, median(runif(3)))
mean(med < .4)  # aprx. prop. of medians < .4
[1] 0.351944

One can prove analytically that the distribution of the median of three standard uniform random variables $U_i$ is $U_{(2)} \sim \mathsf{Beta}(2,2).$ Here is a histogram of the one million simulated medians along with the density function of this distribution.

hist(med, prob=T, col="skyblue2")
 curve(dbeta(x,2,2), add=T, col="orange", lwd=2)
 abline(v = .4, col="darkgreen", lwd=2)

Note: The simulation result can be compared with the exact answer as follows.
The density of $\mathsf{Beta}(2,2)$ is $f(x) = 6x(1-x),$ for $ 0<x<1.$
Then $$P(U_{(2)} \le 4) = \int_0^{0.4} 6x(1-x)\,dx = 0.352.$$
diff(pbeta(c(0,.4), 2, 2))
[1] 0.352
