Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Open dbPowerAmp Music Converter. Select a podcast file. Select “mp3 (Lame)” from the “Converting To” dropdown menu. Choose an encoding quality. Choose a save location. Click “Convert”.

Answer: dbPowerAmp is a popular, ad-free program for both Windows and Mac OS used for CD ripping and audio conversion. If you do not have it, you can purchase and download it from https://www.dbpoweramp.com/. There is also a 21-day free trial period if you want to try it out first. dbPowerAmp Music Converter will immediately open to a browsing window to locate the file you wish to convert. Once a file is selected, a menu with various encoding options will appear. You can select multiple files by holding Ctrl (Windows) or ⌘ Cmd (Mac) while selecting files. This is located in the upper left corner of the window. LAME is the name of the encoder being used. Move the slider to the right to increase quality, and to the left to decrease. Lower quality files will sound worse but encode more quickly and take up less space. You can also choose between bitrate settings like VBR (variable bitrate) and CBR (constant bitrate). Variable bitrates are more efficient and take up less space, while Constant bitrates maintain a higher quality throughout the track. Click the folder icon and select a location on your computer you would like the converted file to be saved to. This will create a copy of your podcast with the new format in the location you choose. The source file will remain in its original location on the computer. A progress bar(s) will appear showing the conversion process. Once the bars are all filled a “Done” button will appear to close the window.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get an old shirt that fits well. Remove the sleeves from the pattern shirt. Cut the side seams on the pattern shirt. Cut the seams of the shirt you want to make smaller. Lay the shirt out flat. Cut the shirt smaller. Pin the sleeve to the shirt. Sew the sleeve to the shirt. Sew up the sides of the shirt. Sew the bottom hem of the shirt. Press the seams with an iron. Try on your new shirt.

Answer: Choose a shirt that has the right fit but you no longer wear. You will cut this shirt to use as a pattern.  Pick a shirt that fits just the way you want the new shirt to fit. Make sure it isn’t a shirt you like to wear because you won’t be able to wear it after turning it into a pattern. Cut along the seams connecting the sleeves to the shirt. Open the sleeves into a flat piece of cloth by cutting along the seam on the underside of the sleeve. Carefully cut along the seams on either side of the shirt. You will leave the shoulder seam and collar intact to create a pattern from the old t-shirt. Remove the sleeves by cutting along the seam. Cut down the side seam of the shirt. Open the sleeves into a flat piece of fabric by cutting along the sleeve’s seam. Place the shirt on a table and flatten it out.  Place the pattern shirt on top of the shirt you want to resize. Line up the neck holes of the two shirts. Pin the pattern shirt to the larger shirt to hold it in place. Cut ½ inch outside the edge of the pattern shirt. You will leave the extra half inch of fabric to create the new seam.  Cut the sleeve to match the size of the pattern sleeve. Leave a ½ inch extra when cutting the sleeve to size. Cut along the bottom of the shirt to shorten the length of the shirt if desired to match your pattern shirt. Take the flattened sleeves and attach them to the shirt using straight pins.  Pin the edge of the sleeve to the front of the shirt with the outer side of the fabric facing the front of the shirt. Keep the sleeve flat to attach it to the shirt. Use a serge or zig-zag stitch to connect the sleeve to the shirt. A straight stitch will not work on knit fabrics.  Use a thread that matches the color of the shirt. Place the shirt and sleeve under the foot of your sewing machine and sew the fabric together. Fold the shirt to turn it inside out and sew up the side of the shirt. Start at the sleeve and sew all the way down the side of the shirt on both sides.  Use a sewing machine with thread that matches the color of the shirt to sew the side seams back together. Keep the shirt inside out when sewing the seams to keep the seams on the inside when you wear the shirt. While the shirt is inside out, fold the bottom of the shirt over 1 inch. Fold the fabric so the outside is folded in to create a hem that goes inside the shirt when right side out. Use a sewing machine to create the hem at the bottom of the shirt while the shirt is turned inside out. Use an iron to flatten the fabric along each of the new seams you created. Your shirt should now match the fit of your pattern shirt. Save the pattern shirt to use to resize additional shirts.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Create a new file called "HitCounter.php". Stub out the HitCounter class. Write the constructor. Write the public functions. Fill in the remaining helper methods.

Answer:
This file will contain a class you can include in other PHP scripts when you want it to log a hit. Create local class members to hold your credentials and the database connection info. In the constructor, you should establish the database connection and initialize the hit counts at zero. These methods can be called from any other script that instantiates the HitCounter class.  Add a method for processing views. This method gets called on every page load that should be counted towards a hit. Add a getter for the total views. This will get called in places where you want to show the total view count. Add a getter for the unique hits. You'll call this where you want to show the unique view count. These methods do the brunt of the work for the hit counter. They're marked private so that they can only be used internally.   getData() retrieves the current view counts from the database. If there isn't any data, it sets this data to zero.  isNewVisitor() determines whether the visitor has already visited our website in their current session  visit() increments the total hit counter, and increments the unique visitor counter if the user has not visited the website in their current session.
