The Kantipur Hissan Edu-fair 2016, being organised at Bhrikutimandap in the Capital to inform prospective students about +2 and Bachelor-level colleges in the country, drew close to 100,000 visitors on Saturday.
The four-day event which began on Thursday is aimed at fresh SLC and +2 graduates to inform them about the available courses, quality of education, facilities and fee structure in Nepali colleges. Ninety-nine colleges have their stalls at the fair where students can receive information brochures and counselling.
The event, which has been organised jointly by the Kantipur Media Group and the Higher Secondary School's Association Nepal since 2013, with an aim of providing students and guardians information on the types of Nepali colleges and degrees available. Coordinator of the fair Navaraj Pandey said the event is one of the biggest platforms for prospective students to see that domestic educational institutions are capable of imparting quality education on par with the international standards.
As foreign institutes have been increasingly organising such fairs in the country to promote their colleges, Nepali colleges have felt the need to showcase their facilities and programmes. The third edition of the event is being held after a gap of two years as it had to be cancelled last year due to the earthquake.
The number of students visiting the fair during this time is far more than that of last edition, and these are very informed students. Students are excited about our IT-based teaching and learning method for +2 science, management and humanities streams. At our college, we have made all aspects of learning online where students can submit assignments, find information materials, look at their report cards and engage with teachers online.
We are in Kathmandu to promote the brand of Merryland College. A lot of visitors showed interest in our college as we provide a BBA-equivalent degree of the University of Wolverhampton, which is based in the UK. The international degree is recognised by Tribhuvan University and the government, and out college graduates can work either at home or abroad. Visitors' response has been positive. Many have said they would enroll in our college to pursue higher education, while others said they would recommend our college to their friends and relatives there.
We are here to inform interested students about the four-year Bachelor's course in Hotel Management job-oriented short-term courses that we offer. The college guarantees 100 percent job placement to BHM graduates in foreign countries. Our short-term international hotel management course and trainings on barista, cooking and baking among others are ideal for developing professional skills. A lot of students visited our stall.
The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nepal is the board that regulates Chartered Accountancy education in Nepal. There are eight accredited institutes that provide CA courses in the country while many other institutes also run CA classes. Students who have completed their +2 visited our stall as they want to pursue a career in accountancy. We are providing information about the professional course to the students. The fee is also very reasonable. CA graduates have very good employment opportunities in Nepal.
Those interested in making a career as air hostess have come to the fair. There are certain qualifications required to become an air hostess--they must have completed their +2 and should be at least 5'2" tall. We tell them that they can find jobs in the aviation industry both within the country and outside if they become air hostess. Our training helps make students more confident and capable to pursue a career in this field.


The New York Times' Maureen Dowd captured the moment last weekend when she referred to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as "the midwife to chaos" in Libya. Dowd apparently came to that conclusion after watching Clinton bobbing and weaving and admitting and denying as she was confronted with the partial record of her failures and obfuscations as secretary of state, particularly with respect to Libya.
The public record is fairly well-known. In March 2011, President Barack Obama declared war on Libya. He did this at the urging of Clinton, who wanted to overthrow Libyan strongman Col. Moammar Gadhafi so she could boast of having brought "democracy" to the region.
She and Obama conspired to do this even though former President George W. Bush and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair had publicly praised Gadhafi as an ally in the war against terrorist groups and even though the U.S. was giving the Qaddafi government more than $100 million a year in foreign aid.
Obama did his best to avoid constitutional norms. He deployed American intelligence agents on the ground, not troops, so he could plausibly deny he had put "boots" on the ground. He did not seek an American national consensus for war because Libya presented no threat whatsoever to the U.S. He did not obtain a congressional declaration of war as the Constitution requires because he couldn't get one. And he did not seek United Nations permission, which is required to attack a fellow U.N. member.
Every four years, we entrust awesome power to a person who swears to protect the Constitution. How could we give that power to a consistent public liar?
He did obtain a U.N. embargo of the shipment of weapons into Libya, and he secured a NATO-enforced no-fly zone over portions of Libya. In order to enforce the no-fly zone, NATO sent jet fighters over the skies of Libya. The jets were guided and directed by American intelligence agents on the ground to bomb Libyan planes on the ground, which had been paid for by American taxpayers.
To pursue her goal of a "democratic" government there, Clinton, along with Obama and a dozen or so members of Congress from both houses and both political parties, decided she should break the law by permitting U.S. arms dealers to violate the U.N. arms embargo and arm Libyan rebels whom she hoped would one day run the new government. So she exercised her authority as secretary of state to authorize the shipment of American-made arms to Qatar, a country beholden to the Muslim Brotherhood and friendly to the Libyan rebels and a country the U.S. had no business arming -- unless the purpose of doing so was for the arms to be transferred to the rebels.
Once this plot was hatched, Clinton and her fellow conspirators realized that some of these rebel groups were manned by al-Qaida operatives; and selling or providing arms to them is a felony -- hence the reason for months' worth of missing and destroyed Clinton emails. How could someone running for president possibly justify providing material assistance to terrorist organizations in the present international climate?
Flash-forward to Clinton's public testimony before the House Benghazi Committee last week. Clinton had three audiences to address. Her immediate audience was the committee, whose members generally did not know how to ask questions of a witness trying to hide the truth. Her second audience was the American people, who will recall little more than 15-second sound bites and general impressions of her testimony. Her third (unseen) audience consisted of the FBI agents and federal prosecutors who are investigating her.
That audience was looking for perjury, misleading statements and what federal law calls "bad acts." Perjury is lying under oath. Misleading Congress is criminal and consists of testimony that employs deceptive language so as to create an untruthful impression. Bad acts constitute repeated behavior demonstrating moral turpitude -- usually a pattern of deception.
How could she answer "no"? She not only knew about the sending of arms to rebels but also personally authored and authorized it. How could she answer "no"? The FBI and CIA advised her -- in documents that are now public -- that U.S. arms were making their way to known al-Qaida operatives. How could she answer "no"? This reached a crisis point when some of those operatives used their American-made weapons to murder U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens at the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi.
The difference it makes goes to the heart of the American electoral process. Every four years, we entrust awesome power to a person who swears to protect the Constitution. How could we give that power to a consistent public liar who, for personal political gain, midwifed terror and chaos in a country that was our ally and whose words and behavior have continually demonstrated that she is utterly unworthy of belief?

What is the Fastest Path to Legal Permanent Residency?
There's no question that becoming a legal permanent resident (LPR) can take time depending on a number of factors, but is there one path to a "green card" that is faster than others? Here we will discuss the different factors that play a role in the process, including who sponsors the petition, the nation of origin, and the different immigrant visa categories, among other factors.
What is a Legal Permanent Resident?
A legal permanent resident (LPR), is someone who has gone through the naturalization process and become a lawful permanent resident of the United States.
LPRs are issued Alien Registration Cards, popularly known as green cards, which allows them to live and work legally in the country. Green cards are different from temporary work permits, which do not provide a permanent legal status.
There are three main methods for obtaining legal permanent residency:
1. Permanent Residence based on a family-sponsored petition
2. Permanent Residence based on an employment-sponsored petition
3. Permanent Residence based on the Diversity Immigrant Visa Lottery
For other ways to obtain legal permanent residency, visit the USCIS website.
Immigrant Visa Preference Categories
With the U.S's current immigration framework, the wait for a green card can be as long as 25 years or as short as 15 days. What makes the difference? In these cases, one of the biggest factors is the immigrant visa preference category in which the petition falls under.
Aside from this, high demand for immigrant visas from nationals of China, India, Mexico, and the Philippines creates an additional delay for applicants from those countries.
Immigrant Visa Number and Limits
Immigrant visa preference categories are established by U.S. immigration laws to create specific preference categories that qualify and assign a so-called "immigrant visa number" to foreign nationals. The immigrant visa number is essentially a "spot" in the waiting line for a green card.
The reason some preference categories are "faster" than others is because while one category may have no delay in available immigrant visa numbers, another category may have a twenty-year wait.
Why the discrepancy in delay times? U.S. immigration law sets a limit on the total number of immigrant visa numbers that are assigned in each category each year, as well as the number that can be given out to foreign nationals from a particular country.
To find the break down on the number limits associated with each category and more information on which petitions the USCIS is processing for an immigrant visa number, refer to the visa bulletin.
Within the visa bulletin, you will notice that immigrant visa numbers are divided into three main groupings: family-sponsored, employment-based, and a "diversity immigrant" category. Under each grouping, you will see that there are more specific preference categories, which we will discuss below.
How can you know what petitions the USCIS is processing? The visa bulletin also has a chart listing cutoff dates associated with each preference category. Only applicants who filed a petition on or before the cutoff date may apply for an immigrant visa number. The date the petition was filed is known as the "priority date."
Family-Sponsored Petitions
There are, however, some petition types that are immediately eligible for immigrant visa numbers. Under current immigration laws, family members of U.S. citizens who are "immediate relatives" are immediately eligible for an immigrant visa number. Immediate relatives are:
• spouses of U.S. citizens,
• children of U.S. citizens under 21 years of age, and
• parents of U.S. citizens.
All other family-sponsored petitions for legal residency fall under one of the following five immigrant visa preference categories:
First Preference (F1): Unmarried son and daughters (age 21 and over) of U.S. citizens.
Second Preference (F2A): Spouses and children (under 21) of permanent residents.
Second Preference (F2B): Unmarried sons and daughters (age 21 and over) of permanent residents.
Third Preference (F3): Married sons and daughters of U.S. citizens, including their spouses and minor children.
Fourth Preference (F4): Brothers and sisters of U.S. citizens, including their spouses and minor children, provided the U.S. citizens are at least 21 years of age.
In terms of the "fastest" path to permanent residency through a family-sponsored petition, immediate relatives of U.S. citizens have the least barriers in their path to a green card.
The second "fastest" path is for spouses and children of U.S. permanent residents, who currently have a wait time of less than two years. The longest wait is for brothers and sisters of U.S. citizens.
It's important to note, however, that the preference type alone does not make one path faster than another. A number of factors play a role in the "wait time" for an immigrant visa number, such as the number of petitions filed under each preference category and the national origin of the applicant.
For example, if there is a lower demand for F2B and a higher demand for F1, the delay time for F2B may become shorter, and thus "faster," than F1.
Employment-Sponsored Petitions
The process for employment-sponsored petitions is not very different from family-sponsored petitions. The visa bulletin lists the different employment-based preference categories and current cutoff dates for each category. Under current immigration laws, there are five different immigration visa preference categories for employment-based petitions:
First - Priority Workers: Persons of extraordinary ability in the arts, science, education, business, or athletics; outstanding professors and researchers; multinational managers and executives.
Second - Professionals with Advanced Degrees or Exceptional Ability: Members of the professions holding advanced degrees, or persons of exceptional abilities in the arts, science, or business.
Third - Skilled Workers, Professionals, and Other Workers: Skilled workers with at least two years of training or experience, professionals with college degrees, or "other" workers for unskilled labor that is not temporary or seasonal.
Fourth - Certain Religious Workers: Certain "special immigrants" including religious workers, employees of U.S. foreign service posts, translators, former U.S. government employees, and other classes of noncitizens.
Fifth - Employment Creation: Persons who will invest $500,000 to $1 million in a job-creating enterprise that employs at least 10 full-time U.S. workers.
The "wait times" for employment-based immigrant visas are not as long as family-sponsored petitions, however, employment-based petitions require a lot more work and documentation from you and your sponsoring employer.
For the most part, there is either no wait time or only a short wait time for employment-based petitions in all categories. Some exceptions include nationals from China, Mexico, India, or the Philippines who may experience a wait time of a substantial number of years, specifically in the second and third preference category. For more information on employment-based immigration, check out our blog on the topic.
Diversity Immigrant Visa (DV) Program
The Diversity Immigrant Visa Program, or "Green Card Lottery," allots 55,000 immigrant visas for individuals from countries that have low numbers of permanent residence applications to the United States. To apply for the DV Program, individuals must:
meet minimum educational requirements,
have no history of criminal activity,
have no history of U.S. immigration violations, and
be born in a country with a low numbers of U.S. permanent residence applicants.
As with all lotteries, being chosen is mostly dependent on luck. Additionally, if you are from a country that already has a high number of LPR applicants, you will not be eligible to apply.
However, if you are lucky enough to be selected for a visa under the DV program, an immigrant visa number will be immediately available, thus creating a relatively "fast" path to permanent residency.
Find an Experienced Immigration Attorney
Becoming a legal permanent resident in the United States is not a quick, simple, or easy process. Although there are some paths that are less delayed than others, there are a number of factors that play a role in this.
For best results, I strongly encourage you to speak with an experienced immigration attorney who can guide you through the entire process, regardless of the route you take, and make it as smooth as possible.

Hackney, New Poor Law, osteology

Review Natasha Powers
Based on the results of the author's MPhil research at Durham University, this volume examines an intriguing hypothesis: that the introduction of the New Poor Law in 1834 had such a profound effect on the diet of the poor that it left visible traces on their bones. It does so by interrogating historical data, with an osteological assessment of the health of five buried populations.
An integrated approach to examining the past is an important one to take, but it is also notoriously tricky. Differences between the Old Poor Law, enacted in 1601, and the New Poor Law, introduced in 1834, are outlined at the end of Chapter 2. Inevitably there is some historical generalisation, and aspects would have benefited from further use of primary sources, but the information on the changes in society's view on poverty has a sobering modern resonance. The writers of the 19th century felt the Old Poor Laws were operated with 'unregulated kindness', leaving an indolent population happy to live on handouts. This resonance is picked up in conclusions discussing the cyclical nature of welfare reform and briefly bring us to the present day.
Records from St John's, Hackney, coupled with commissioners' reports, enable the dietary and calorific value of the recommended diets (found wanting in both respects), and the activities that this diet had to sustain, to be presented; indolent inmates they were not. Shoreditch workhouse provides details of age and sex, and it is refreshing to see a study using the 'big data' of the Museum of London's osteological database.
There is a non-technical outline of the pathological conditions examined, and the author discusses the limitations of her approach, from the 'osteological paradox' to the problems of phasing cemeteries. Her approach provides a springboard for further research and, while she is ultimately unable to prove a direct correlation between the introduction of the New Poor Law and changes in the incidence of skeletal pathology, the attempt to demonstrate the effect of widespread societal changes on health and longevity is to be commended.

BURBANK — Despite being the tallest player on the court, Melody Escovedo was nearly invisible in the box score for the first half of Thursday afternoon's summer league basketball game at Providence High.
The Holy Family High junior-to-be was hard to miss in the second half, scoring all of her 12 points and pulling down five of her six rebounds over the final 20 minutes to help her team escape with a 38-37 win over Viewpoint.
"I started to realize I needed to shoot more [in the second half] and get the game going for the girls," said Escovedo, whose final basket of the game was a turnaround jumper on the baseline with 1:20 to play that gave the Gaels a 37-34 lead.
Moments after Escovedo's shot, Holy Family, which was led by a game-high 14 points from Tabitha Ruiz, turned the ball over and Viewpoint capitalized with a free throw to trim the lead to 37-35.
The Patriots would get a chance to go ahead on their next possession, but misfired on a long-range attempt and Escovedo was there for the rebound.
Holy Family point guard Melissa Chan attacked the basket with less than 30 seconds left and was rewarded with a pair of foul shots.
She sank one of two, which proved to be big when the Patriots scored on a putback with a couple of ticks left on the game clock.
"We got our key hoops when we needed them," said Roel Sanchez, who is coaching the Gaels during the summer instead of head coach Ernest Siy. "They hit a lot of important baskets and really our defense, our press, did a good job."
Holy Family got out to a hot start in the first half behind Ruiz, who hit her first three shots from the field for seven quick points. Still, despite leading by as many as six, the Gaels only led by one at the half and had to hold off another Viewpoint run in the second half.
A three-pointer by Ruiz gave Holy Family its biggest lead of the game, 31-24, with 8:48 to play, but Viewpoint responded with a 10-4 run, capped by back-to-back three-pointers, to pull within one point with 1:43 left.
But, until the aforementioned buzzer-beater, Viewpoint was held without a field goal the rest of the way.
"I think the defense stepped it up more," Escovedo said, "because we realized we had to get this win."
Holy Family also got six points from Charisse Talaro and two points, five rebounds and four steals from Kiara Ardinez. Ruiz led the Gaels with nine rebounds.

However if the input is like {2, 2, 2, 2, 1}, then after calling std::nth_element, there will be 2s before the middle element. Do I have to search all values to the left of the middle? Or is it guaranteed that the 2s will all be adjacent?
Another way to ask this is whether {2, 1, 2, 2, 2} is possible after calling std::nth_element as above, or is {1, 2, 2, 2, 2} guaranteed? In the latter case, I can just search left from the middle. In the former, I have to search from first to middle, which is less efficient. From empirical testing, it appears that the latter case holds. Wondering if anyone has a definitive answer or if I am missing some corner-case.

A: The documentation only guarantees:

*

*The element pointed at by nth is changed to whatever element would occur in that position if [first, last) was sorted.

*All of the elements before this new nth element are less than or equal to the elements after the new nth element.

Note that there are no guarantees that the elements before or after the nth element appear in any particular order, so long as the ones before are less than or equal to it (and by extension, due to the nature of it being the nth element, the elements after it are greater than or equal to it); both {2, 1, 2, 2, 2} and {1, 2, 2, 2, 2} would be perfectly legal orderings.

A: nth element does not guarantee anything about the order of elements before the nth.
It may be hard to impelment without clumping elements equal to the nth, or on small lists it just sorts, so that is probably what you are seeing.

It may help to understand how nth element may be implemented: this is just an example.
One way to implement nth element is to do median of 5.  Take your collection and divide it into clumps of 5.  Sort each clump (O(1)*O(n)).  Now repeat on the median of the 5 element clumps to find its true median (using nth element).
Eventually you'll get single element that is close to the middle (between 0.3 and 0.7), and it takes linear time.  (
Do partition of your sequence (linear time), and you now where the element is in order in your sequence (by counting).
If it is the nth element and you are loking for the kth and k

As you are searching an exponentially smaller region with a linear time algorithm, this entire algorithm is linear time.
Note that this can seriously jumble up the order of elements; there is zero guarantee equal elemenra are a adjacent.
