How-To Video on My YouTube Channel!
Have you ever tried to open a file, such as a PDF document, and Windows opens a completely different program than what you would normally expect? The reason why this may happen is because the file type is no longer associated with the program that it was originally intended to open with. In order to fix the problem, you will need to fix the "file association" for that file type so that it opens with a program that you define. This problem can occur when you install software or when you remove software from your computer. The good news is that this issue is very easy to fix and today, I am going to show you how to fix file associations in Windows 7 and Windows 8.
Locate the program you want the file to open with and click OK.
You have now changed that file type to open with the program you specified! Problem solved.
Click Start and search for "Default Programs".
Click on Default Programs in the search results and click on "Associate a file type with a protocol or program".
The entire list of file types that are known by Windows are listed in this window.
Click on a file type to highlight it, then click on the "Change" button on the top-right.
Choose the application that you want Windows to open when this file type is launched.
And that's it! You now know how to manage file types in Windows. As always, let me know if you have any questions.

Reduction of Conditional Factors in Causal Analysis
Haitao Liu, Ioan Dzitac, Sicong Guo
Faced with a great number of conditional factors in big data causal analysis, the reduction algorithm put forward in this paper can reasonably reduce the number of conditional factors. Compared with the previous reduction methods, we take into consideration the influence of conditional factors on resulted factors, as well as the relationship among conditional factors themselves. The basic idea of the algorithm proposed in this paper is to establish the matrix of mutual deterministic degrees in between conditional factors. If a conditional factor f has a greater deterministic degree with respect to another conditional factor h, we will delete the factor h unless factor h has a greater deterministic degree with respect to f, then delete factor f in this case. With this reduction, we can ensure that the conditional factors participating in causal analysis are as irrelevant as possible. This is a reasonable requirement for causal analysis.

Many people assume, largely because of Gandhi's legacy, that Hinduism is a religion of non-violence. William R. Pinch shows just how wrong this assumption is. Using the life of Anupgiri Gosain, a Hindu ascetic who lived at the end of the eighteenth century, to explore the subject, he demonstrates that Hindu warrior ascetics were not only pervasive in the medieval and early modern Indian past, but were also an important component of the South Asian military labor market and crucial to the rise of British imperialism. Today, these warriors occupy a prominent place in modern Indian imaginations, ironically as romantic defenders of a Hindu India against foreign invasion, even though they are almost totally absent from the pages of Indian history. William Pinch's innovative and gloriously composed book sets out to correct this historiographical deficiency and to piece together the story of the rise and demise of warrior asceticism in India from the 1500s to the present. Implicit in his approach is the need to measure modern mythologies of Hindu warrior asceticism against the real-life experiences of powerful, violenceprone ascetics. This is a book which has as much to say to students of religion as to historians of empire, and will no doubt be taken up by both. w i l l i a m r . pi n c h is Professor of History at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut. He is the author of Peasants and Monks in British India (1996).

Cambridge Studies in Indian History and Society will publish monographs on the history and anthropology of modern India. In addition to its primary scholarly focus, the series will also include work of an interdisciplinary nature which will contribute to contemporary social and cultural debates about Indian history and society. In this way, the series will further the general development of historical and anthropological knowledge and attract a wider readership than that concerned with India alone. A list of titles which have been published in the series can be found at the end of the book.

I have been on Anupgiri's trail since 1994. If these pages are set between two hard covers, it means I am no longer chasing after the Great Warlord. I have let his trail go cold and have turned to other things. But Anupgiri and I have had happy times together and I would be remiss not to acknowledge the many fine memories I owe him. Not least of all, I have flown on his back to Britain and India repeatedly these last ten years. So first of all, he has my heartfelt gratitude. I hope I have done him and his men (and women) justice in the pages that follow. God knows he did not make it easy; and God knows there is much more to be said about him. One question that I was never able to resolve, and therefore (as is the historian's wont) completely elided in the pages that follow, is the manner of his death. In a way, this is fitting given that he was, theoretically, immortal. All we "know" is that his decline was sudden and unexpected. Was he poisoned by the British, as some of his descendants today quietly claim? Or by a woman close to him, as others allege? Certainly everybody had a motive. Like the uncertainty that surrounds the location of his final resting place, his samadhi, the cause of Anupgiri's death is a nagging question. Perhaps someone else will have the energy to take it up. There are many others to thank. First among the living is Kailash Jha, who puts in an occasional appearance in the pages that follow. My adventures with Anupgiri, particularly in Bundelkhand, would have been much less enjoyable – and much less fruitful – but for Kailash's companionship, friendship, and wisdom. Indeed, he became so closely associated in my mind with this work, and with Anupgiri, that in the end I could not conceive of writing the book without putting him in it. If Anupgiri still inhabits this world – and to my way of thinking this is not entirely out of the question – then a good measure of him surely resides in Kailash. He will not be the first great man said to have been "metempsychosically kidnapped" by a death-defying yogi. Abha, Kailash's wife, also deserves praise and thanks. She did not complain (too much) when I stole Kailash from her, and (in any case) she did not burn our clothes, flea-ridden and stinking though they may have vii
been, when we came back to Delhi from our jaunts in the north Indian countryside. For this, and for the constant hospitality she extended to me and my family, I bow in gratitude. I would be remiss were I not to acknowledge the kind assistance of Dr. G. K. Rai and Dr. Ram Naresh Tripathi of Allahabad. Likewise, for research affiliation on repeated visits to London, I wish to record my thanks to Professor Peter Robb and the Department of History at the School of Oriental and African Studies. Portions of this work have been presented in a variety of venues, including Wesleyan University, the Colegio de M´exico, Columbia University, Dartmouth College, University of Oslo – Goteborg ¨ University consortium School of Asian and African Studies, Yale University, Goodenough College, the University of Virginia, Middlebury College, the University of California (Berkeley), Edinburgh University, the University of Pennsylvania, the School of Oriental and African Studies, and at annual gatherings of the Association for Asian Studies (San Francisco) and the American Academy of Religion (Toronto). I thank the organizers of those talks and those who offered responses and raised questions. I am especially grateful to my colleagues at Wesleyan – in particular those in the Christian Studies Cluster, the Religion and History Concentration in the History Department, the Southern Asia and Indian Ocean Cluster, the Jewish and Israel Studies Cluster, and the editorial staff at History and Theory – with whom I have spent many happy hours probing the problem of religion within and without the academy. Several colleagues at Wesleyan and beyond have read portions or all of this work, sometimes more than once, in various stages over the last ten years. For their comments and suggestions, and encouragement, I take the liberty of singling out a few: Seema Alavi, G. ("Anu") Arunima, Chris Bayly, Aditya Behl, Indrani Chatterjee, Rick Elphick, Stewart Gordon, Peter Gottschalk, Sumit Guha, Walter Hauser, Jack Hawley, Monika Horstmann, Bill Johnston, David Lorenzen, Philip Lutgendorf Bruce Masters, Dilip Menon, Phil Pomper, Peter Robb, Vera Schwarcz, Gary Shaw, Phil Wagoner, and Ann Wightman. Marigold Acland of Cambridge University Press has been a patient and congenial editor. I am grateful as well for the editorial labors of Isabelle Dambricourt, Mary Leighton, and Elizabeth Davey of Cambridge University Press, the enormously helpful suggestions of two anonymous readers, and the perspicacious copy-editing eye – and gentle copy-editing hand – of Sara Adhikari. And I thank John Hammond for creating the map. I have been fortunate to receive funding for the research and writing that went into this book. This includes a grant from the Joint Committee on South Asia of the American Council of Learned Societies and the
Social Science Research Council with funds provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Ford Foundation (1995); a US Department of Education Fulbright-Hays Faculty Research Abroad grant (1994–95); a senior research fellowship from the National Endowment for the Humanities (2001); a Wesleyan University Center for the Humanities fellowship (spring 1999); and three project grants from the Office of Academic Affairs at Wesleyan University. This generous support, in addition to Wesleyan's fine sabbatical policy, made this book possible. I am grateful for all of it. History is, as I never tire of telling anyone who will listen, a conversation with the past. That conversation could not take place if we could not hear voices of those who have gone before us. Here again I have much to be thankful for, in India as well as Britain. When I was not wandering the byways of Bundelkhand, my most interesting conversations with the past occurred in the reading room of what used to be called, in a simpler age, the India Office Library. My children laugh when I tell them how I like to spend my vacations. If they knew the caretakers of the past at what is now known as the Oriental and India Office Collection of the British Library, they would understand my idea of a good time. All that remains is to apologize to my wife, Jennifer, and my children, Pearse and Helen. Anupgiri has taken me from them. Maybe now he will give me back. Vijay Pinch Middletown, CT 26 February 2005

BANGKOK (BLOOMBERG) - Thailand's economy grew more than analysts estimated in the fourth quarter as the military government's series of stimulus measures started to bear fruit.
Gross domestic product expanded 2.8 per cent in the three months through December from a year earlier, the National Economic and Social Development Board said on Monday (Feb 15). That compares with the 2.6 per cent median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey of 22 analysts. GDP climbed 2.8 per cent in 2015, more than the median forecast of 2.7 per cent in a separate survey.
I hope we don't become another Ukraine. Thailand really needs a stable government, and a few smoothe transitions between parties.
Lets hope they can sail a safe passage.

Charles Wilson has been appointed chief executive of Tesco's UK and Ireland business, with the Booker chief executive set to commence his role once the wholesaler's merger with Tesco is complete.
Tesco said in a statement this morning that it expects the merger to be completed on 5 March.
As part of his role, Wilson will take charge of Tesco's retail and wholesale businesses in both Ireland and the UK, replacing Matt Davies in the role.
Wilson has been with Booker Group since 1998, becoming the wholesale group's chief executive in 2005. He previously held roles with Procter & Gamble and Marks & Spencer, among others.
At Tesco, Wilson will have a base salary of £575,000 per annum, as well as having access to performance related bonuses and pension entitlements.
Matt Davies will remain at Tesco to facilitate the handover until the end of April 2018, when he will leave the company, Tesco said.
"I am delighted Charles will be joining the Tesco Board and Executive Committee," said Dave Lewis, Tesco chief executive.
"He brings substantial commercial and retail experience and has an exceptional track record of increasing performance and driving growth in customer-focused businesses. Charles is ideally suited to lead the UK & ROI business for the combined group in the next phase of our turnaround."
Lewis also thanked Matt Davies for what he described as an "outstanding contribution" to Tesco over the last three years.
"His values based leadership and invaluable support have been instrumental to the significant progress we have made in the transformation of the UK & ROI business," he said.
Commenting on the appointment, analyst Bruno Monteyne of Bernstein Research said, "The appointment clarifies the question of what Charles Wilson's role will be in the combined Tesco Booker group. Charles Wilson has an excellent track record at Booker and we expect the appointment to be taken positively by the market, with Charles leading ~80% of the group, rather than just the Booker B2B activities."

Q: Pass data by protocol while using Container to view another ViewController in Swift I started working on this question app.
I began by tableView of the categories:

For data exchange, I decided to use a protocol:
protocol Category {
    func data(object:AnyObject)
}

In the first ViewController has the following code:
class ViewController: UIViewController {

    var items:[String] = ["Desktop","Tablet","Phone"]

    let CategoriesData:Category? = nil

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        CategoriesData?.data(items)
    }

    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
        // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
    }
}

In the second ViewController (tableView in Container) have the following code:
class CategoriesViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate, Category  {

    @IBOutlet var table: UITableView!

    var items:[String] = []

    func data(object: AnyObject) {
        self.items = (object as? [String])!
        print(object)
    }

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        // Do any additional setup after loading the view.
    }

    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
        // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
    }

   func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
        return self.items.count
    }

    func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
        let cell:TableViewCell = self.table.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("SegueStage") as! TableViewCell

        cell.nameLabel.text = items[indexPath.row]
        return cell
    }
}

For me, apparently it's all right. But nothing appeared on the simulator.

My question is: If the Container use to present another viewController as passing data by protocols should be done?

A: EDITED
I answered why the TO:s solution didn't work as intended, but I just realised that I haven't given a viable answer to how to use protocols as delegates for the ViewController -> ViewController communication. I'll leave the half-answer below until someone can possibly answer the full question better.

In the way protocol is used in your code, you define your protocol Category to be a delegate for instances of the type ViewController. When an instance of type ViewController is initialised in---and hence owned locally in the scope of---some other class, the instance can delegate callbacks to the owning class.
The problem is that your CategoriesViewController does not contain any instances of type ViewController. We note that both these classes are, in themselves, subclasses of UIViewController, but none of them contain instances of one another. Hence, your CategoriesViewController does indeed conform to protocol Category, by implemented the protocol method data(...), but there's no ViewController instance in CategoriesViewController that can do callbacks to this function. Hence, your code compile file, but as it is, method data(...) in CategoriesViewController will never be called.
I might be mistaken, but as far as I know, protocol delegates are used to do callbacks between models (for model in MVC design) and controllers (see example below), whereas in your case, you want a delegate directly between two controllers.

As an example of model-delegate-controller design, consider some custom user control, with some key property value (e.g. position in rating control), implemented as a subclass of UIView:
// CustomUserControl.swift
protocol CustomUserControlDelegate {
    func didChangeValue(value: Int)
}

class CustomUserControl: UIView {

    // Properties
    // ...
    private var value = 0 {
        didSet {
            // Possibly do something ...

            // Call delegate.
            delegate?.didChangeValue(value)
        }
    }

    var delegate: CustomUserControlDelegate?

    // ... some methods/actions associated with your user control.
}

Now lets assume an instance of your CustomUserControl is used in a a view controller, say ViewController. Your delegate functions for the custom control can be used in the view controller to observe key changes in the model for CustomUserControl, much like you'd use the inherent delegate functions of the UITextFieldDelegate for UITextField instances (e.g. textFieldDidEndEditing(...)).
For this simple example, use a delegate callback from the didSet of the class property value to tell a view controller that one of it's outlets have had associated model update:
// ViewController.swift
Import UIKit
// ...

class ViewController: UIViewController, CustomUserControlDelegate {

    // Properties
    // ...
    @IBOutlet weak var customUserControl: CustomUserControl!
        // Instance of CustomUserControl in this UIViewController

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        // ...

        // Custom user control, handle through delegate callbacks.
        customUserControl.delegate = self
    }

    // ...

    // CustomUserControlDelegate
    func didChangeValue(value: Int) {
        // do some stuff with 'value' ...
    }

}

VAPING TOLL
E-cigarettes 'increase risk of heart attack and depression' – as expert BANS family from vaping
"I wouldn't want any of my patients nor my family members to vape," said the lead author of this recent study
By Miranda Larbi, Digital Health & Fitness Reporter
Updated: 7 Mar 2019, 15:26
E-CIGARETTES increase your risk of suffering heart attacks or depression, new evidence has shown.
Vaping has found that users are significantly more likely to fall victim, compared with those who don't smoke.
Vaping may be less harmful than tobacco smoking but it comes with a load of health issues tooCredit: AP:Associated Press
"When the risk of heart attack increases by as much as 55 percent among e-cigarettes users compared to nonsmokers, I wouldn't want any of my patients nor my family members to vape," said lead author, Dr Mohinder Vindhyal, assistant professor at the University of Kansas School of Medicine Wichita.
"When we dug deeper, we found that regardless of how frequently someone uses e-cigarettes, daily or just on some days, they are still more likely to have a heart attack or coronary artery disease."
Up until now, we haven't known a lot about how e-cigs might hinder heart health but this new data should be a "real wake-up call", said Dr Vindhyal.
Vaping devices work by heating e-liquid which tends to contain nicotine and other chemicals.
According to Dr Vindhyal, there are now more than 460 brands of e-cigs and over 7,700 flavours - some of which put you at risk from "popcorn lung".
'A real wakeup call'
The new study found that compared with nonsmokers, e-cig users were 56 per cent more likely to have a heart attack and 30 per cent more likely to suffer a stroke.
Coronary artery disease and circulatory problems, including blood clots, were also much higher among those who vape - 10 percent and 44 percent higher, respectively.
And vapers were also twice as likely to suffer from depression, anxiety and other emotional problems.
The study is one of the largest to date on the health ramifications of vaping.
Younger people are putting themselves at risk of health problems
It included data from 94,467 people over a three year period.
In their analyses, researchers looked at the rates of high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, coronary artery disease, diabetes and depression/anxiety among those who reported using e-cigarettes (either some days or daily) and nonusers.
Those who reported using e-cigarettes were younger than nonusers.
Researchers compared the data from tobacco smokers and nonsmokers.
Daily vaping increases your risk of heart attack and depression
Traditional tobacco cigarette smokers had strikingly higher odds of having a heart attack, coronary artery disease and stroke compared with nonsmokers - a 165, 94 and 78 percent increase, respectively.
They were also significantly more likely to have high blood pressure, diabetes, circulatory problems, and depression or anxiety.
And scientists also compared data for nonsmokers and e-cig users, and found that daily e-cigarette users had higher odds of heart attack, coronary artery disease and depression/anxiety, whereas some days users were more likely to have a heart attack and suffer from depression/anxiety, with only a trend toward coronary artery disease.

"Cigarette smoking carries a much higher probability of heart attack and stroke than e-cigarettes, but that doesn't mean that vaping is safe," Dr Vindhyal said.
More research is still needed but the study concluded that there was a clear association between any kind of smoking and negative health outcomes.
The best thing you can do is to quit altogether.

Q: the name DiceRoll does not exist in the current context Here is the issue, at the top I have public void DiceRoller which simply gets a random number for me. Under that is int DiceRoll which is what I call to get the number. In my public void CreateInput() I call upon DiceRoll and it spits that the name doesn't exist in current context. If I copy the code from DiceRoller into CreateInput it works flawless, but I'd like to have it in its own class for other classes within my code.
    public void DiceRoller()
    {
        Random RandomNumber = new Random();
        int DiceRoll = RandomNumber.Next(1, 20);
    }

    public void CreateInput()
    {
        Console.Clear();
        Console.WriteLine("  _, __, __,  _, ___ __,    _, _,_  _, __,  _,  _, ___ __, __,");
        Console.WriteLine(" / ` |_) |_  /_\\  |  |_    / ` |_| /_\\ |_) /_\\ / `  |  |_  |_)");
        Console.WriteLine(" \\ , | \\ |   | |  |  |     \\ , | | | | | \\ | | \\ ,  |  |   | \\");
        Console.WriteLine("  ~  ~ ~ ~~~ ~ ~  ~  ~~~    ~  ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~  ~   ~  ~~~ ~ ~");
        Console.WriteLine("<==============================================================>");
        Console.WriteLine();
        Console.WriteLine();
        Console.Write("Player Name: ");
        Console.ReadLine();
        Console.Write("Select Race: ");
        Console.ReadLine();
        Console.Write("Select Class: ");
        Console.ReadLine();
        Console.WriteLine("Stats: ");
        Console.Write("STR: ");
        Console.Write(DiceRoll);
        Console.ReadLine();
    }

A: In your current code, the variable DiceRoll is defined in the function DiceRoller(), NOT in the function CreateInput(). This is why you get, The name DiceRoll does not exist in the current context.
My suggestion
Change return type from void to int in your DiceRoller() function, and return an integer.
public int DiceRoller()
{
    Random randomNumber = new Random();
    int diceRoll = randomNumber.Next(1, 20);
    return diceRoll;
}

Then, call the function DiceRoller() inside your CreateInput() function to get your random integer as shown below:
public void CreateInput()
{
    Console.Clear();
    Console.WriteLine("  _, __, __,  _, ___ __,    _, _,_  _, __,  _,  _, ___ __, __,");
    Console.WriteLine(" / ` |_) |_  /_\\  |  |_    / ` |_| /_\\ |_) /_\\ / `  |  |_  |_)");
    Console.WriteLine(" \\ , | \\ |   | |  |  |     \\ , | | | | | \\ | | \\ ,  |  |   | \\");
    Console.WriteLine("  ~  ~ ~ ~~~ ~ ~  ~  ~~~    ~  ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~  ~   ~  ~~~ ~ ~");
    Console.WriteLine("<==============================================================>");
    Console.WriteLine();
    Console.WriteLine();
    Console.Write("Player Name: ");
    Console.ReadLine();
    Console.Write("Select Race: ");
    Console.ReadLine();
    Console.Write("Select Class: ");
    Console.ReadLine();
    Console.WriteLine("Stats: ");
    Console.Write("STR: ");
    Console.Write(DiceRoller());
    Console.ReadLine();
}

Personal Preference: I like to define local variables when I am calling accessor functions. In this case, instead of using Console.WriteLine(DiceRoller()), I would define a local variable first (int random = DiceRoller();), then write it to console (Console.WriteLine(random);).

A: Is your declaration of DiceRoll inside the function DiceRoller()? If it is, then that variable is local to that specific function, and it doesn't exist outside of it.
You probably should be returning DiceRoll from DiceRoller() and passing it to CreateInput().

A: DiceRoll is no variable and it seems it isn't a constant. It's undefined.

A: Try returning a value from DiceRoller().
public int DiceRoller()
{
     Random RandomNumber = new Random();
     return RandomNumber.Next(1, 20);
}

Console.Write(DiceRoller());

A: class DiceRoller
{
    int DiceRoll = 0;
    Random RandomNumber = new Random();

    public DiceRoller()
    {
       int DiceRoll = RandomNumber.Next(1, 20);
    }

   public int getDiceRoll()
   {
      return DiceRoll;
   }
}

inside whatever class CreateInput() have an instance of DiceRoller and call the get method
class SomeClass
{
     DiceRoller dr;

    public SomeClass()
    {
        DiceRoller dr = new DiceRoller();
    }

    public void CreateInput()
    {
            Console.Clear();
            Console.WriteLine("  _, __, __,  _, ___ __,    _, _,_  _, __,  _,  _, ___ __, __,");
            Console.WriteLine(" / ` |_) |_  /_\\  |  |_    / ` |_| /_\\ |_) /_\\ / `  |  |_  |_)");
            Console.WriteLine(" \\ , | \\ |   | |  |  |     \\ , | | | | | \\ | | \\ ,  |  |   | \\");
            Console.WriteLine("  ~  ~ ~ ~~~ ~ ~  ~  ~~~    ~  ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~  ~   ~  ~~~ ~ ~");
            Console.WriteLine("<==============================================================>");
            Console.WriteLine();
            Console.WriteLine();
            Console.Write("Player Name: ");
            Console.ReadLine();
            Console.Write("Select Race: ");
            Console.ReadLine();
            Console.Write("Select Class: ");
            Console.ReadLine();
            Console.WriteLine("Stats: ");
            Console.Write("STR: ");
            Console.Write(dr.getDiceRoll());
            Console.ReadLine();
     }
}

A: public void DiceRoller()
{
    Random RandomNumber = new Random();
    int DiceRoll = RandomNumber.Next(1, 20);
}

What's happening here is that the moment you finish the DiceRoller() method, all of the local variables are popped off of the stack and you lose all corresponding data.  What you need to do is turn the above function into something of the following:
public int DiceRoller()
{
    Random RandomNumber = new Random();
    return RandomNumber.Next(1,20);
}

You could also Create a static variable called RandomNumber so that it is only required to create the seed once: https://stackoverflow.com/a/2466989

Art – Art Education Track
Associate in Arts
Lakes Region Community College > Programs > Art – Art Education Track
The A.A. in Art degree at LRCC offers a choice of two concentrations: Art Education and Studio Art. They share a core of 4 classes in studio foundations and history. Both tracks offer a strong arts foundation for entry into the field and several options for transfer to four-year programs.
The Art Education track provides students with a survey of studio art courses and art education courses. Students will spend time in elementary, middle or high school art classrooms, observing and interacting with students and teachers. Upon completion of the degree students will be prepared to teach art in a private setting or to transfer to a four-year institution to complete their Bachelor's in Art Education and earn their teaching certificate.
The curriculum presents students with a thorough exploration of a variety of art fundamentals, beginning with first year courses in Drawing, Design, and the History of Art. Building on these foundation experiences, the second year of the program continues these studies and extends them into the disciplines of Painting and Printmaking. In addition, a number of courses are available as art electives. The Senior Portfolio Project gives the student the practical skills to develop a professional portfolio for eventual transfer to a four-year institution of higher education, or for pursuit of a career in the visual arts, such as a studio apprentice, assistant to an artist or craftsperson, art gallery associate, or creating their own fine art business.
Students intending to transfer to a four-year program of study work closely with their advisor to identify the programs of interest to them. Students may then develop a course of study and a focused portfolio for admissions review by the selected four-year programs. To become eligible for transfer to a variety of four-year programs, students must successfully complete all general education coursework in addition to their Fine Arts program of study. Poor academic performance will affect transferability whether it is after one semester or upon completion of all degree requirements.

Q: Python edit JS code pointed at by (local) Package Edited based on comments:
I am trying to edit files (js) within one project which are called by a package in Python, however I am unable to determine the steps to be able to do so. I am looking to add some functionality to the itkwidgets package by updating the annotations returned by some function calls within the js files.
I have forked itkwidgets from git and installed locally using python -m pip install -e .. I can import this package in my notebook and have confirmed that it is loaded and working as expected.
My expectation is that I should be able to point the package (itkwidgets) towards a local version of the js project (itk-vtk-viewer) so that any edits made can be observed in the notebook.
(Part I do not understand)

*

*In a viewer.js file it specifies the location of the js code that I want to edit:

*

*import createViewer from 'itk-vtk-viewer/src/createViewer'

*This viewer.js file is pointed to in a index.js file:

*

*const { ViewerModel, ViewerView } = require('./viewer.js');

*and this index.js file is pointed to within the package.json file.

My original thoughts were that I should be able to change the location pointed to in viewer.js file to a local folder and it would point towards the new code. However, even if I change the line to import createViewer from '/<NON_EXISTENT_FOLDER>/src/createViewer'. The code still runs as before. If I point towards the local version, I would expect some added console.log's to be printed, but again this does not occur.
I have tried reinstalling the package using pip following the change but that did not help either.
I am at a loss as I do not really understand what is happening. Any help appreciated.

As Ghana celebrates 58 years of independence Friday, the leader of the main opposition party said: "We must be guided by our past mistakes and the wisdom born of experience. We must stride into the future, confident that we will make it if we work at it."
In a statement to wish Ghana a happy 58th Independence anniversary, Nana Addo said: "On behalf of the leadership and membership of the New Patriotic Party, we wish all Ghanaians a Happy Independence Anniversary.
"Today marks 58 years of self-rule, since our forebears began the quest to liberate our people from colonial rule, and most importantly to entrench the rights and liberties of the Ghanaian people, development in freedom and economic empowerment to steer Ghana to higher heights."
The NPP 2016 presidential candidate added: "As we reflect on how far we have come as a nation, we must not lose sight of our history as a people, our attitudes, our culture, our vision, our commitment to nation building….
"We must believe in Ghana and do what is right by our nation, and thereby fulfil the dreams and aspirations of those far-sighted individuals who initiated the steps for our national freedom and independence.
"We salute and wish the people of Ghana a happy 58th Independence Anniversary."

Q: Optimization Question. I'm working through some optimization questions and I got stuck, and ended up with the wrong answer. The question is:
There's a garden that needs to be enclosed, you have $60$m of fencing, one side is against a house so you need to enclose only three sides, maximize the area.
So what I did was,
Constraint: $2x+y=60$
Maximize area = $xy$
$$y = 60 - 2x$$
$$f(x) = x(60-2x)$$
$$= 60x-2x^2$$
$$f'(x) = 60-4x$$
$$= 4(15-x)$$
Now this is the part where I'm confused, I know that $y = 60-2x$, but how do I solve for $x$? I used $x = 15$, which gave me the wrong answer.

A: Your work is correct but not complete.
The function for area starts at $0$, for $x=0$, and is positive for $x>0$.  Until $x>30$, where the area becomes negative.
Setting the derivative, $60-4x=0$, gives one point, $x=15$, where the area must be a maximum.  Substituting, the area is $15\times30=450m^2$

Q: How can I beautify the below java query using java stream filter and predicate? How can I beautify the below java query using java stream filter and predicate?
I have this piece of code where its trying to throw some exceptions based on some condition which needs to be handled at UI level. How can I shorten the below code into more precise using java stream filter and predicate.
public Sort resolveArgument() {

    Sort sort = sortHandlerMethodArgumentResolver.resolveArgument();

    List<Sort.Order> orders = sort.stream().collect(Collectors.toList());
    if (orders.isEmpty()) {
        sort = Sort.by(Sort.Direction.DESC, default_sort_param);
    } else {
        if (orders.size() > sort_max_count) {
            throw new InvalidSortException("Please provide only 3 valid sort parameters.");
        }
    }

    orders.forEach(order -> {
        if (!allowed_sort_params.contains(order.getProperty())) {
            throw new InvalidSortException(order.getProperty() + " is not a valid sort parameter");
        }
    });

    return sort;
}

A: The forEach call can be replaced with:
orders.stream().map(Sort.Order::getProperty).filter(x -> !allowed_sort_params.contains(x))
    .findFirst().ifPresent(x -> {
        throw new InvalidSortException(x + " is not a valid sort parameter");
    });

However, IMO this is not much of an improvement.

Arabic culture is much different as compare to Asian and European culture. Main thing which makes Arabic culture different from others that is Arabic dressing. In this area we are discussing about women wear. When our discussion is about Arabic women we cannot ignore their special identification that is Abaya (Burqa) . Abaya is the long gown in different colors with different designs which is basically the Islamic culture and after it we can say it Arabic culture.
This is the beauty of Arabic women. In these days it�s not the part of just Arabic culture but it�s also famous in every where among the Muslims. So I can represent these new deigns in my post.


"What are Luc Besson's Best Movies?" We looked at all of Besson's directed filmography and ranked them against one another to answer that very question!
We took all of the movies directed by Luc Besson and looked at his Rotten Tomato Critic, Rotten Tomato User, Metacritic, Metacritic User, IMDB, and Letterboxd scores, ranking them against one another to see which movies came out on top. The movies are ranked in our list below based on which movies have the highest overall score between all 6 review sites in comparison with all of the other movies by the same director (Valerian is hanging way too low on this in our humble opinion). The process is all very scientific with no flaws at all.
The full ranking chart is also included below the countdown on the bottom of the page. We will update the article if/when a new movie by Luc Besson is released. Although it probably won't be immediate so the scores on each site have time to settle and aren't overly influenced by the early, usually much more opinionated, users.
A man wanders through a wrecked, dystopian city, finding violence everywhere he turns.
The plot explores the devastation of civilization and issues of brutality, hostility and isolation. Pierre Jolivet stars as the main character (identified only as "The Man" in the end credits) who is menaced by "The Brute" (played by Jean Reno) on his journey through a world filled by people rendered nearly mute by some unknown incident.
Atlantis is more visual art than nature film and a 'must see' for any Luc Besson fan. The film captures the feel of what it's actually like to swim underwater better than any film I've ever seen, perfectly illustrating the form and texture of sea water. Beautiful. Highly recommended for anyone interested in visual arts or diving.

It does not only assists deliver upgraded sales nonetheless also supplies businesses with an opportunity to boost customer satisfaction. It is an important component of overall selling price management which is crucial to profits.

Personalized value optimization is actually essential to an organization's outlook for an outcome. The corporation makes their cash by together with a percentage to bookings. You also need a business that is certainly notorious to get treating it is customers well. To begin with, additional should begin by creating and educating a bit pricing workforce. Many businesses own embraced selling price optimization equipment to help determine what price proceeding charge for merchandise or perhaps solutions. Therefore the company may well price the product within that budget. Cost optimization computer programs companies like Revionics, dunnhumby, and PROS let full grocers leverage predictive analytics to generate price changes in actual time that the sector is beginning get in. Pricing is already quite complex, and inconsistency will just increase complexity and cause bedlam. With the right technology in place, they have the potential as a powerful earnings lever. Cost-plus pricing is usually far simpler to calculate and thus common, however it isn't the perfect strategy for making the most of revenue. Value-based pricing is important to maximize earnings because it focuses on the customer. Maximum pricing is important if a organization wishes to link their enterprise volume level with revenue and furthermore, if this wants to enhance profits keeping exactly the same heights of customer retention.

SVG is an XML based vector image used to display a variety of graphics on the Web and other environments, due it 's XML structure it supports various XML features, one of the feature is XLink which is responsible for creating internal and external links within XML document.
Since the application is accepting SVG based images, the second try would be to include the static entities to see if the parser is allowing custom entities.
As parser is allowing static entities, Next step would be to include SYSTEM based entities along with DTD to fetch the malicious DTD which is more like XXE attack but parser was blocking system based entities in the backend, they had strong validation of the malicious malformed XML.
Since parser is blocking SYSTEM based entities our attack surface has been limited, Now it's time to test Billion Laughs attack since application allowed static entities. Always note that: Before blinding fuzzing the various XML payloads, make sure to understand the parser logic, Before trying the billion laugh attack, I threw the server with simple callback entity function to see if the parser allows rendering of xml1 entity through callback of xml2 entity.
In order to enumerate all possible things, we need to build a wordlist for all possible local pictures present on the system.
Now it's time to make different port's open or just with different paths& fuzz it along with all the internal picture path's collected to fingerprint all possible libraries, script, tools installed along with versions.

Receive free daily summaries of new opinions from the US Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.
Elmer S. Nelson and Mabel R. Nelson, Appellants, v. Thomas Brames and Marilyn C. Brames, Appellees, 253 F.2d 381 (10th Cir. 1958)
US Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit - 253 F.2d 381 (10th Cir. 1958) February 19, 1958
Albert E. Nelson, Rock Springs, Wyo., and A. G. McClintock, Cheyenne, Wyo., for appellants.
Glenn A. Williams, Cheyenne, Wyo. (A. Joseph Williams, Cheyenne, Wyo., on the brief), for appellees.
Before MURRAH, LEWIS and BREITENSTEIN, Circuit Judges.
MURRAH, Circuit Judge.
This is the second appeal from a judgment for the defendant on a jury verdict in this damage suit, arising out of a two-car highway collision in Wyoming. The head-on collision which caused the damage occurred after the defendant-appellee's car "skidded" or "bounced" over into the plaintiff-appellant's traffic lane. See Id., 10 Cir., 241 F.2d 256. The appellant was without fault. And, the question here is whether the trial court erroneously refused to direct a verdict of liability on the ground that the undisputed testimony concerning the cause of the skid convicted appellee of negligence as a matter of law.
When the case was here on the former appeal, we stated, following Wyoming law, that "there is no actionable negligence where without fault on the part of the driver an automobile skids across the center line of the highway to the left side thereof and collides with another motor vehicle, but that the burden rests upon such driver to show that he was there without any act of commission or omission which constituted fault on his part." In other words, the presence of the defendant's car in the plaintiff's traffic lane at the time of the collision was prima facie negligence, and it was incumbent upon him to show that he was there from causes or things beyond his control; that his skidding was not due to any negligent act on his part. See Wallis v. Nauman, 61 Wyo. 231, 157 P.2d 285; Larkins v. Kohlmeyer, 229 Ind. 391, 98 N.E.2d 896; Satterlee v. Orange Glenn School District, 29 Cal. 2d 581, 177 P.2d 279, 283. No complaint is made of the refusal or failure of the trial court to so instruct the jury. Indeed, the instructions have not been brought here for review. Nor is the basic testimony disputed. Only the permissible inferences to be drawn therefrom are challenged.
The defendant testified that on the date of the accident, he was traveling westerly about thirty miles an hour upon a snow and ice covered highway near Rock Springs, Wyoming; that the thirty-foot roadway was rough, corrugated, rutted, but straight, unobscured and slightly inclined; that when he was about 150 feet from the oncoming plaintiff's car, his car hit something like a "rut" a "block of ice", a "hole in the road", "something like hitting a curb", causing the rear end of his car to "skid or bounce * * * violently" about 10 feet over into the plaintiff's traffic lane. He immediately turned his front wheels with the skid and toward the left lane. When the skid stopped, the front end of the car was slightly in its lane and the rear end was in the left or plaintiff's lane. Before the defendant could move back into his traffic lane, the plaintiff's car struck his about one or two feet forward the front door.
Whether judged by the Wyoming or Federal rule, a peremptory instruction directing a verdict is proper only when but one inference or conclusion can be drawn from the evidence. Blackstone v. First National Bank of Cody, 64 Wyo. 318, 192 P.2d 411; Hawkins v. L. C. Jones Trucking Co., 68 Wyo. 275, 232 P.2d 1014. When fair minded persons may form different opinions and draw different conclusions and inferences from facts, the question of negligence is for the jury. Globe Cereal Mills v. Scrivener, 10 Cir., 240 F.2d 330; Dunn v. Kansas Gas & Electric Co., 10 Cir., 227 F.2d 939. And, the rule applies with equal force to an affirmative defense by the defendant, as well as in other cases. Blackstone v. First National Bank of Cody, supra.
Emphasizing the crucial point whether the defendant was exercising due care when his car went into the skid, appellant suggests the absence of any evidence showing the circumstances which would have prevented the defendant from having seen and avoided striking whatever object caused him to bounce or skid out of control. The evidence is said to explain what he did after the skid, not what he did to prevent the chain of events which resulted in the collision. In other words, the jury, says the appellant, were left to surmise that he was exercising due care to prevent the skid.
But, the defendant testified without objection that when he hit the object which threw his car out of control, he was traveling about thirty miles an hour, watching the road ahead closely, and he could not see any difference in the condition of the highway immediately ahead and that over which he had been traveling for the past seven or eight miles. In these circumstances, we think the jury was properly permitted to infer that the collision was unavoidable. The judgment is affirmed.

Cats are marvelous creatures. Eliot described felines as a being that all households are dependent on, and that's true. A cat that is friendly and happy boosts any family. Cats are quirky though. Keep reading for some valuable tips on cat care.
Groom your cat. Brushing is a very important component towards taking care of your cat. This will keep your cat's coat clean. It also reduces their shedding and hairballs. Keep your cat looking at its best by grooming it well.
If your kitty is a female, make sure to plan a spaying once she is of age to breed. Even if she spends her time indoors, it is possible for her to escape while in heat, causing an unwanted pregnancy. Spaying the feline is really the optimal way of dealing with this.
Put bitter apple on all electrical cords. Keep your cords covered if you feel like your cat is hellbent on chewing them. Hide those loose cords and keep them out of sight in no longer needed paper towel rolls. Cats are drawn to wires and cords, so you should keep them out of sight and out of mind if they are not being used.
A lot of cat owners have a hard time keeping their cats off the counter. One thing they like about it is they enjoy being high up. One way to deal with this issue could be to devote certain high spaces for your feline friend to sit in. Keep your cats off the kitchen counter by placing their towers near the kitchen or even in it.
Cats are often nocturnal creatures. The result is that cats prefer to be more active during the night. Try closing the door if your cats are keeping you awake at night. This should help them from waking you during the night, pouncing on your feet under the covers.
Make a tablecloth for your cats. Cats will sometimes pluck food from the bowl and enjoy it straight off the ground. This can result in a mess that needs to be cleaned up. An easier way to do that is to either buy a placemat and put it underneath the cat bowl, or to cut a bit of fabric to use as a tablecloth that you can pick up and wash or shake over the garbage can.
Unlike most humans, cats love heights. Make sure your cat has a safe place to play. If you're averse to cat trees for some reason, a shelf without breakable items will work. Make it extra comfortable by adding a blanket or cushion.
Brush your cat often. This will help stimulate blood flow. It'll also remove all that loose hair. Brushing eliminates the formation of hairballs which may choke your cat and lead to buildup of excess hair in the abdomen when the cat grooms himself.
If your cat does not use the litter box, do not use punishments to try to discipline him. Your cat probably did not use the litter box because it is not well taken care of. If you punish the cat, it may shy away from you at future times.
Although you might find its appearance unappealing, don't toss a scratching post when it's getting particular worn and frazzled. The cats loves it the most in this condition. Removing the post could cause your cat to look for something else scratch, possibly damaging your furniture.
Do not use chemicals around your cat that contain phenol. A lot of household cleaners have this in them, so you should read the labels before using them around your cat. The smell offends them and being exposed to it for several hours can cause liver problems.
Your cat has a remarkable sense of smell, much better than humans. They detect subtle changes in their environment. Sometimes this causes problems if you introduce a new food dish, bed, or scratching post. Don't worry if the cat isn't happy with the items when you first bring them home. The object will begin to smell more like home, and the cat is more likely to feel comfortable.
Panting is not a normal response for a cat. Panting in dogs is perfectly normal. Cats often pant when they are anxious or overheated, but this may also signal a more serious issue. Make sure you contact a vet, especially if your cat has had respiratory problems in the past.
Look out for holes around the home you would rather your cat didn't get into. A cat can squeeze through incredibly small openings. Kittens can also be very creative in their explorations. Keep this in mind when introducing a new cat to your home. Repair any holes, or change furniture arrangements in problem areas.
Cats often require a visit to your veterinarian, but that can get very expensive. You can save yourself some money by ordering your cats medications online. Many places will deliver the goods to your doorstep. You can purchase ongoing medications for fleas or even treatments for heartworm from these websites.
Treat your cat with flea medication. There are a few different medications available. These medications prevent harmful parasites that can draw blood from your companion and possibly cause disease. Protect your cat by purchasing products that are formulated exclusively for felines.
During the hustle and bustle of the holidays, it may not be a good idea to give the gift of a new kitten or cat. Instead, it's better to go to the shelter or pet store with your child and get them involved in choosing their new pet.
If you do have an outdoor cat there are microchips available to be inserted in them which can help you locate the cat should it wander away. There are websites that you can use to locate your pet when they become lost.
Caring for a cat can be a lot of work, but it's absolutely worth it. No matter how active or lazy your cat may be, the advice you have read will help the two of you get along better. Before long, your cat will spend more time purring and less time complaining.

Over the last few weeks we've seen how to develop both fixed width and fluid layouts with html and css. Each has its pros as well as its cons. Hybrid layouts are attempts to gain the pros of one type of layout while minimizing some of the cons.
Flexible layouts are created by using relative measurements as opposed to absolute measurements. The question is relative to what? With elastic layouts the measurements are set relative to something internal to the design, usually the size of the type.

In this paper, we shall quantify these ideas, and in particular we shall look at the transition from global to local behavior based on relative costs. W.

One of the earliest such papers is , in which the authors analyze the union of an n-cycle and a random matching, showing that it has both a linear number of edges and small diameter.
This representation makes ranking difficult: nodes and edges have diverse semantics and are not equally important. Their importance may even vary by query. Consequently, there is no single successful ranking function for general E-R graph search applications. On the other hand, the information is too complex for completely manual tuning. Chakrabarti explained how machine learning techniques can be employed to automatically tune the ranking function to the data and query at hand. 3 Models for the Web Graph and Other Complex Networks A second theme of the workshop was that of stochastic models for the Web graph in particular, and self-organizing networks in general.
