In this chapter, you discover the basics of creating classes in Zen.
You have been using classes since the beginning of this manual. However, until
now, you have barely scratched the surface, because the classes in the previous
chapters simply wrapped the main()
function implicitly. As you will see,
classes are very powerful and important in Zen.
Working with Classes
In the real world, you wll find many objects of the same kind. There are thousands of bikes with the same make and model. Each of these bikes was built with the same blueprint.
A class is a blueprint from which you create objects. The most important thing to understand about a class is that it defines a new data type. Once defined, this new type can be used to create instances. In other words, a class is a blueprint or a template for an object, and an object is an instance of a class, Given an object is an instance of a class, you will often see the two words object and instance used interchangeably.
You should declare a class with a name and a body. Here is the general form of a class declaration.
class Name
/* Fields */
/* Constructors */
/* Functions */
A class body can contain the following elements.
-
Constructors A constructor is a block of code that runs whenever you create an instance. It initializes new instances.
-
Fields A field is a variable declared inside a class body and outside a method body. A field provides the state of the class and its instances. There are two types of fields, instance variables and static variables. When you declare a field inside a class, outside a method, and without the
static
keyword it is an instance variable. Similarly, when you declare a field inside a class, outside a method, and with thestatic
keyword it is a static variable. You will learn about static variables later in this chapter. -
Functions A function is a block of code. It defines a behavior of the class and its instances.
The order in which you write your class members does not matter. We recommend you to follow a uniform order. So you will know where to find your members. Further, the fields and functions, that is, the entities that you declare inside your class are known as its members.
Working with Fields
The general form of a field is shown here.
modifiers var identifier
You can declare fields like any other variable. You can optionally specify modifiers. The modifiers tell the compiler additional characteristics of the field such as visibility, mutability, etc.
Basically, there are four modifiers you can use when you declare a field.
- private
- public
- secret
- static
Each modifier is a keyword. We will be learning about all the modifiers in this chapter.
Here is an example of a class called Superhero
.
// Superhero.zen
class Superhero
var name
var gender
var strength
var speed
var intelligence
This class definition contains five variables. Given these variables are not
defined inside a method without the static
keyword, they are instance variables.
In this example, the name
field holds the name of the superhero.
For example, Batman
. The gender
field holds the gender of the superhero.
For example, it could be 'female'
for Wonder Woman. The strength
field represents
the muscular strength of the superhero, ranging from 1 to 10. For example, The
Presence would have a perfect 10. The speed
field represents the speed of the
superhero, ranging from 1 to 10. For example, you guessed it, The Flash would
have a perfect 10. The intelligence
fields represents the intellect of the
superhero. For example, Batman would be considered very intelligent
, just
behind Lex Luthor, a supervillan.
It is important to remember that a class declaration only creates a blueprint.
It does not create an actual object. Thus, the previous example does not create
any object. To actually create a Superhero
object, you should use the new
keyword, which is an operator.
Working with the New Operator
The general form of the new
operator to create an instance of a class is
shown here.
new Class()
Here the Class
represents the name of the class whose instance you want to
create. You will learn the significance of the parenthesis when you learn
about constructors.
To create an instance of the Superhero
class, you would write something like this.
var superman = new Superhero()
In this example, we created a variable called superman
. Then we created an
instance of Superhero
and assigned its reference to the variable superman
.
A reference is important to write and read the values stored in an object.
You should always remember that each instance contains its own copy of instance variables. Thus, every Superhero object will contain its own copies of name, gender, strength, speed and intelligence. This is a very important concept you need to remember.
Here is an example where two Superhero objects are created.
var superman = new Superhero()
var batman = new Superhero()
In this example, superman
object has its own copies of name, gender, strength,
speed, and intelligence. If you modified any of these fields it would not affect
the values stored in the batman
object, because each Superhero
object contains
its own copies of the Superhero
fields.
To access an instance variable, you can use the member access operator (.
).
The dot operator (synonym for the member access operator) links the reference
of the object with the instance variable. For example, to assign 'Batman'
to
the name
instance variable contained in the batman
object, you can write the
following statement.
batman.name = 'Batman'
Here, the batman
variable contains the reference to a Superhero
object.
name
indicates the instance variable to modify.
The member access operator is a binary operator. Obviously, the member access operator always returns a value. Accessing instance variables with it is an expression. In fact, both the operands of the member access operator are expressions. This means that you can chain instance variable access. You will see chaining instance variable access later in the course.
Here is the complete Superhero program.
// Superhero.zen
class Superhero
var name
var gender
var strength
var speed
var intelligence
static function main(...arguments)
// Create the Superhero objects.
var superman = new Superhero()
superman.name = 'Superman'
superman.gender = 'Male'
superman.strength = 9
superman.speed = 9
superman.intelligence = 'Very Intelligent'
var batman = new Superhero()
batman.name = 'Batman'
batman.gender = 'Male'
batman.strength = 6
batman.speed = 6
batman.intelligence = 'Very Intelligent'
// Print the values contained in the instance variables.
print(serialize(batman, 'json'))
print(serialize(superman, 'json'))
}
The output produced by the Superhero program is shown here.
{
"name" : "Superman",
"gender" : "Male",
"strength" : 9,
"speed" : 9,
"intelligence" : "Very Intelligent"
}
{
"name" : "Batman",
"gender" : "Male",
"strength" : 6,
"speed" : 6,
"intelligence" : "Very Intelligent"
}
Understanding Object References
When you declare a variable, you are basically creating a reference variable.
For example, what do you think the following code segment performs?
var shazamKid = new Superhero()
var darlaDudley = shazamKid
If you are new to programming, you might think that darlaDudley
is being
assigned a copy of new Superhero object. In other words, you might think that
shazamKid
and darlaDudley
refer to two separate and distinct objects.
However, this is not true.
If you ran this code, shazamKid
and darlaDudley
will both refer to the same
object. The assignment of shazamKid
to darlaDudley
did not create any new
copy of the original object. It simply makes darlaDudley
refer to the same
object that shazamKid
references. Thus, any changes made to the object through
darlaDudley
will affect the original object and the changes will reflect through
shazamKid
.
Conventions for Class Names
Your class name is an identifier. You can use any identifier you want. But we suggest you to follow these guidelines.
- Begin the class name with a capital letter. For example,
Bike
,Car
,Planet
andPerson
. - If the class name consists of more than one word, capitalize each word.
For example,
BikeRace
,CarGame
,CollegeLibrary
andStringBuilder
. - Try to use nouns for your class names. We know that classes represent real life objects. In the real word, you identify objects with nouns. Hence, we recommend you to use nouns for naming your classes.
Understanding Visibility
You can control whether the world outside your class can access its members. This is known as visibility of the member. In other words, you can expose only certain members to public, that is the world outside your class, while keep other members private or secret. Thus, you can control the access of your members. The visibility modifiers are a form of encapsulation in Zen.
You will use visibility modifiers very often. There are three visibility levels in Zen.
- Public
- Private
- Secret
The visibility modifiers determine which members of your class are visible to other classes. With access control, you can tell the compiler how your class can be used by other classes. You can use only one visibility modifier at a time.
Private Access
You can use the private modifier to hide a class member from all the other classes. In other words, a private member is accessible only within its class.
Some members of a class are useful only within the class. There is no point in such members being accessed from other classes. In such cases, you should always use the private modifier.
In fact, fields are marked as private by default. You will learn more about this later in this chapter.
Secret Access
A secret member is accessible to the following two groups. * Subclasses of a class * Other classes in the same package
You will learn more about subclasses and packages later in this manual.
Public Access
In some cases, you want your class members to be completely visible to the outside world. In other words, any class can access the member.
You can use the public modifier to make a member completely visible to all
the classes. Unlike fields, functions are public
by default.
In fact, you have already used the public modifier from the beginning of this course implicitly.
The main()
function of an application has to be public. Otherwise, it cannot
not be invoked by the Zen Virtual Machine (ZVM).
Understanding Instance and Static Members
Instance Members
Instance variables are variables that you declare inside a class body and
without the static
keyword. They are declared outside functions, constructors,
and initializers. These variables are initialized when you create an instance
of the class. Further, each instance of the class gets a copy of these variables.
In fact, when any member of a class, except constructors, is declared
without the static
keyword you are essentially declaring an instance member.
An instance member can be accessed only with a reference to an instance.
When you create an instance of a class, the instance gets its own copy of the instance variables in memory. Zen treats other instance members specially. In fact, each instance of class does not contain its own copy of instance members such as functions, constructors, and initializers. Because multiple copies of such members will exhaust the memory. Instead Zen keeps only one copy of such instance members and simulates as if each instance gets its own copy. Actually, if memory were not a concern, each instance would get its own copy of such members to improve performance.
Static Members
Class variables are variables that you declare within a class with the static
keyword. They are outside functions, constructors, and initializers. Remember,
you declare class variables with the static
keyword. Unlike instance variables,
each instance of a class does not get a copy of class variables. A class member
can be accessed without a reference to an instance.
Static members belong to the class instead of a specific instance. Which means if you make a member static, you can access it without an instance. You should always remember that whenever you create an instance of a class, the instance does not get its own copy of the static members.
You have already used the static
modifier from the beginning of this manual.
The main()
function is declared outside a class, an implicit static modifier
is added by the compiler. However, you must explicitly add the static modifier
when you declare the main()
function inside a class. The Zen Virtual Machine
(ZVM) does not create an instance of your main class before invoking the main
function. This is why you should always declare the main function as static.
Here is an example of a class variable.
// Circle.zen
class Circle
static final PI = 3.14159265
You can access a class member without a reference to an instance. You
can access a class member using the class name followed by the member access
operator (.
) and the name of the member.
Here is an example that calculates the area of a cirlce. It demonstrates accessing the class variable from the previous example.
// CircleArea.zen
function main(...arguments)
var radius = promptFloat('Enter the radius: ')
var area = Circle.PI * radius * radius
printf('The area of the circle with radius %f is %f.\n', radius, area)
You cannot use an instance of a class to access its class members. This design choice was made to improve code clarity.

501There are no outside members on the Montresor Board of Directors.
502It is all family.
503
504Several generations sit around the large oak table in the center.
505
506At the two far ends are the reigning King and Queen: BELLATOR
507MONTRESOR, currently serving as Chairman, and his wife, SINCERA
508MONTRESOR, CEO of the corporation.
509
510On the walls, a gallery of contemporary paintings of immense
511power. Represented by the likes of such artists as:
512Francis Bacon, Lucien Freud, the Chapman Brothers and other
513masters of the grotesque and grim.

515Katy Wo glides in soundlessly with her tray of goblets.

518(in mid discussion)
519...And he is at it again!
520Blocking our acquisition of
521Mongolia Copper at the
522Pan-Asian Eco Forum.
523
524BELLATOR MONTRESOR
525It's an oversight committee.
526They can't actually stop us.
527
528SINCERA MONTRESOR
529That's not the point! His
530Lordship, The Illustrious Khan
531of Garika has been a thorn in
532the side of the Montresor's
533interests for far too long!
534
535BELLATOR MONTRESOR
536I'm having brunch with Mac Bobbi
537at the Croquet Club next Sunday.
538He plays Polo with the Khan!
539Why don't we...
540
541SINCERA MONTRESOR
542I think it's too late for that.
543We can't afford another failure
544like with FlanBev.
545
546BELLATOR MONTRESOR
547And why is it my fault we didn't
548add a Trappist Ale House to
549your burgeoning collection?
550
551SINCERA MONTRESOR
552Because now the House of Garika
553owns 80% of global brewery
554and spirit distribution! That
555by all rights should be ours!
556
557BELLATOR MONTRESOR
558My dear beloved betrothed,
559the Montresor family has not
560sold a drop of spirits since...
561
562SINCERA MONTRESOR
563It's not the beer! My cherished
564soul mate. It's the channel, the
565partnerships, the customers, the
566network and on and on! Just
567because I was not born into this
568family...
569
570BELLATOR MONTRESOR
571Doesn't mean you have not earned
572the name of Montresor!
573
574SINCERA MONTRESOR
575Viva Montresor!

578Viva Montresor!
579
580The shout breaks Katy's spell and she begins to notice her
581bizarre surroundings.
582
583Most prominently, an unusual looking DEVICE on the far table.
584A tall tower of glass and steel with a giant chamber and
585pump system surrounded by rubber tubes and capillaries.
586
587KATY WO
588(to herself)
589Sweet hookah! Perhaps they'll
590permit me to stoke the brazier!
591
592SINCERA MONTRESOR
593How this noble family can suffer
594the thousand slights provocated
595upon us by the Khan? Now with
596this final insult, I have but one
597final recommendation!
598
599BELLATOR MONTRESOR
600No.
601
602SINCERA MONTRESOR
603Yes! The Assassination List!
604
605The collective shock of the other members wakes those whose
606attention had been only perfunctory up until this moment.
607
608MADGER MONTRESOR, the grand ancient patriarch of the clan,
609and keeper of its institutional history and wisdom, clears
610his throat to address the assembled Board.
611
612MADGER MONTRESOR
613Let's consult The Book. If
614memory serves the last time
615we needed to resort to that
616illimitable dominion, was more
617than a decade ago. My father
618still held the Chair then.
619American Aquaculture CEO I
620believe was the unfortunate.
621
622Madger gets up to fetch the large leather bound folio that
623contains the littany of secrets regarding Montresor's rise
624to infamy and power.
625
626On his way toward the shelf, he comes FACE-TO-FACE with Katy.
627
628MADGER MONTRESOR
629Are you the virgin?
630
631The rest of the assembled Board members find this uproarious.
632
633SINCERA MONTRESOR
634It looks like the Grauburgunder
635Frau Ort-Demon has chosen as
636our palate cleanser.
637(sniffs the air)
638A sickly sweet vintage from
639the Lower Palatinate,
640Rhienpfalz, Germany.
641
642BELLATOR MONTRESOR
643That should pair nicely with tart
644virgin blood.
645(addressing Katy)
646And are you from Germany as well?
647
648KATY WO
649Calif--
650
651SINCERA MONTRESOR
652Silence my mate! She's just
653the server. I've picked an
654exquisite French-Moroccan specimen
655for the ceremony.
656
657MADGER MONTRESOR
658Moroccan! A hint of Saffron
659no doubt! Well let's get on
660with it then.
661
662BELLATOR MONTRESOR
663Yes, a magnificent thirst is
664upon me! We will consult
665The List while toasting with
666fresh virgin blood!
667
668SINCERA MONTRESOR
669Very well!
670(to Katy)
671After you finish serving tell
672Frau Ortstien to send in The
673Curates with The Virgin.
674
675KATY WO
676Very well, Madame Montresor.
677
678SINCERA MONTRESOR
679Did you hear, she called me
680Madame!
681
682The entire table finds this new gag just as raucous.
683
684Katy finishes placing a goblet in front of each member while
685trying to avoid eye contact and be as INVISIBLE as possible.
686
687BELLATOR MONTRESOR
688Something tells me the little
689mouse's blood would go well...
690
691SINCERA MONTRESOR
692Enough!  Standing between them is a YOUNG VIRGIN decked
705in a white silk robe. A heavy lustrous necklace dangles from her
706neck with the symbol of the Montresors:
707
708The Amontillado Bottle!
709
710Frau Ortstien ushers Katy out and the Ceremonial Party in.

716Frau Ortstien begins closing the heavy doors behind her.

718Sincera initiates the formalities of the ceremony.
719
720A distracted Frau Ortstien accidentally leaves the door open a
721tiny crack.
722
723Affording Katy a hidden view of the ritual!
724
725Frau Ortstien helps the Curates hook the young woman up to an
726intraveneous tube on the transfusion device. They pull up
727the sleeve of her robe and tie off her arm with one of the
728rubber hoses. As they search for a vein...
729
730Katy stealthily removes a Samsung X phone from her back pocket.
731
732She FILMS the proceedings through the tiny gap.

747On the beach in front of them is a pastel pink stilt house

910Purely selfish on my part.
911It was during the Franco

918Is that what you were Pepe? Raw?

923and sophistication. I was a
924cyber pirate, sailing the binary
925seas for anarchy and digital booty.

1146mammoth iron-wrought four-poster bed.
1147
1148The Curates, with the help of the other family members, carry the
1149insensible virgin into the inner chamber which shuts behind them.
1150
1151As Katy stops filming, every instinct tells her to flee. But
1152her curiosty beckons her to cross the Board Room and press her
1153ear against the sealed-in hidden wall.
1154
1155CLOSE UP look of sheer DREAD as she listens to the silent but
1156dreadful proceedings within. It is left to the imagination
1157what particular iniquities the "Rites of Nero" may entail!
1158
1159After a BEAT, Katy remembers herself and her surroundings and
1160begins a zombiesque walk back toward the Atrium.
1161
1162When suddenly an entrancing object lying on the conference room
1163table catches her attention.
1164
1165She GRABS hold of The Montresor Book, containing the vast history
1166of the family's secrets and transgressions.
1167
1168Katy RUNS out the door with The Book tucked under her arm.

1172The dishes have all been cleared from the table. As well as the
1173drone. Its only occupant is the silver metal Tumi case that
1174previously belonged to Dr. Gotfrundi in Venice.
1175
1176Although not privy to the post-prandial tales Lise has been
1177spinning regarding her fixation with the Montresor Empire,
1178their effects may be gleaned from the current scene.
1179
1180Pepe sits back at his workstation, typing much SLOWER now.
1181He peers over his shoulder at frequent intervals.
1182
1183The veranda double doors are all wide open. As are all the windows.
1184Pim and Lise SLOW DANCE on the porch outside. Not to music, but
1185the tidal rhythm of cresting waves washing ashore.

1209An ALARM on Pim's workstation begins flashing.
1210

1214He unlocks from Lise and runs over. A few clicks and up pops an

1258is. One of the few that do.

1262saying. "Long bouts of
1263horrible sanity!"
1264

1266When I met you Pepe, you were
1267trashing the reputations of

1292He loops a lanyard around her neck. Attached is a THUMB DRIVE
1293with a secure hardware encryption fob at one end.

1321sits well secured with elastic cords and a tarp.

1324It commands an intimidating presence amongst the traditional

1528
1529The cityscape of the isolated authoritarian regime is as foreign
1530to Lise as the moonscape of Mare Tranquilium.
1531
1532Centuries of sustainable cultural development mixed with abundant
1533natural resource wealth and a persistent, xenophobic disdain of
1534outside influence has resulted in a civil architecture at once
1535disorienting yet seductive.
1536
1537And yet, oddly familiar too. Certain motifs begin to stand out:
1538
1539An ongoing Art Festival that resembles the Biennale.
1540
1541A Lido-like beach promenade.
1542
1543Elements of Moorish, Gothic, and Byzantine architecture
1544swirling together.
1545
1546And as they stop at an intersection, an ELECTRIC GONDOLA with
1547an elegant aristocratic couple in its basket speeds past.
1548
1549Lise follows the conveyance with her eyes and spots a restaurant
1550across the avenue with a curious name: Fortuna's Grille.
1551
1552Even more beguiling to her sight is its insignia above the
1553awning. A golden heel crushing a well-fanged serpent!
1554
1555Could it be? The final sanctuary of those noble families of
1556Venice who fled the rise of Montresor?

Hi, I’m Sean!
I’m a computer science major at Santa Monica College with hopes of transferring to UW-Seattle. I primarily write in Java, but I’m learning Node.js because I'd like to work more alongside the back-end aspect of software. I took an Advanced Java course in my senior year of high school and immediately fell in love with coding. That summer I made my own version of Flappy Bird with Objective-C by learning independently online. My first semester of college I participated at HackCC and learned basic Python and PHP to create an appservice for the application Yo. I picked up HTML and CSS while on winter break of 2015 and learned Javascript in the summer. I hope you learn a little more about me from my site!

The aim of this section is to compare the findings of the various DAST tools used in the previous section and rank them to provide a solution to the 2nd point of the problem statement under Task 2
.
Vulnerability Reports
ZAP and W3AF, both, found various vulnerabilities. Interestingly, most of the vulnerabilities identified by the tools are different from the other. The tools also were different in terms of ease of usage. I found W3AF more user-friendly than ZAP, mainly due to the difficulty I faced while configuring the tools to authenticate with DVNA as a user. W3AF's authentication mechanism was extremely simple whereas, for ZAP, the CLI was very complicated to use. After the initial hitches, both tools were quite close in terms of the number of discoveries but ZAP found more vulnerabilities than W3AF. After consolidating the discoveries that the tools made, I'll rank ZAP above W3AF even though it was more complicated to use because the results that ZAP produced were more relevant. Below is a table of comparison the various types of discoveries ZAP and W3AF made:
| Rank | Tool | Vulnerabilities Discovered | Informational Discoveries |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | ZAP (Zed Attack Proxy) | 9 | 1 |
| 2 | W3AF (Web Application Attack & Audit Framework) | 5 | 3 |
ZAP
ZAP uses a set of rules built into the application and segregated into two halves - active scan rules and passive scan rules. These rules are derived from the OWASP Top 10 project. The active scan rules attempt to uncover security vulnerabilities by using known attacks against the target application. The passive scan rules observe the HTTP messages sent to the web application and detect malicious behavior.
ZAP's baseline scan found a total of 10 issues with DVNA. The split-up of the issues found is listed in the table below:
| Sl. No. | Description | Severity |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | X-Frame-Options Header Not Set | Medium |
| 2. | CSP Scanner: Wildcard Directive | Medium |
| 3. | Cross-Domain JavaScript Source File Inclusion | Low |
| 4. | Absence of Anti-CSRF Tokens | Low |
| 5. | X-Content-Type-Options Header Missing | Low |
| 6. | Cookie Without SameSite Attribute | Low |
| 7. | Web Browser XSS Protection Not Enabled | Low |
| 8. | Server Leaks Information via "X-Powered-By" HTTP Response Header Field(s) | Low |
| 9. | Content Security Policy (CSP) Header Not Set | Low |
| 10. | Information Disclosure - Suspicious Comments | Informational |
The complete report generated by the ZAP baseline scan can be found here.
W3AF
Since, W3AF had multiple output options, I initially went with storing the output in an HTML report as I thought it would be easier to comprehend but the report only stated a single informational discovery, which was not right because on the console I saw various other discoveries. So, I also generated a Text Report, which is supposed to be the exact replica of the console output and as expected, the text report was more detailed and contained more discoveries.
W3AF works by first crawling the application to find injectable fields (with an option to authenticate with the application to reach segments that lie behind the authentication layer). After it curates a list of URLs, it tries to find injectable fields in each of those URLs and based on the plugins enables (such as SQLi plugin, XSS plugin) it injects crafted string inputs to those fields to test vulnerability while also taking note of auxiliary observations about the application's behavior, state or content that W3AF deems worthy of the user taking a look at them.
Below mentioned is the table of the consolidated discoveries that W3AF made along with what kind of discovery it was:
| Sl. No. | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | HTTP response returned without the recommended HTTP header X-Content-Type-Options. | Vulnerability |
| 2. | An HTTP response matching the web backdoor signature "cmd.jsp" was found at: "http://localhost:9090/cmd.jspx". | Vulnerability |
| 3. | An HTTP response matching the web backdoor signature "cmd.jsp" was found at: "http://localhost:9090/cmd.jsp". | Vulnerability |
| 4. | The URL: "http://localhost:9090/learn" has a script tag with a source that points to a third party site. | Vulnerability |
| 5. | A comment containing HTML code [if lt IE 9]> <script src="http://htm" was found in: "http://localhost:9090/learn". |
Vulnerability |
| 6. | X-Powered-By header for the target HTTP server is "Express". | Information |
| 7. | Total unique URLs found (after removing redundant entries) is 24. | Information |
| 8. | Total unique fuzzable URLs found (after removing redundant entries) is 24. | Information |
The Text report I used to analyze the observations of the tool can be found here. The initial HTML report (which I left and instead used the Text report) can be found here.
The actual Text report contains a lot of debug
output. So, I redacted the reported and only kept the information relevant to security issues in a separate file which can be found here.
Conclusion
In conclusion, I would say both the performance of both the tools was quite close to the other. The ranking I gave is my personal opinion based solely on the results they provided and their relevance to the solution of the problem statement. I did not consider additional factors, such as user experience, while ranking them.


A collection of dynamically generated css visibility related utility classes.
Class names follow the Emmet abbreviation
syntax, with colons (':') replaced by two dashes (--
) to follow BEM naming
conventions.
E.g., the visibility: hidden
utility class name is .u-v--h
and
the backface-visibility: visible
one is .u-bfv--v
.
In the same vein, the opacity: 0.5
class will be .u-o--0\.5
(It is automatically escaped).
Available classes
.u-v--h
(visibility: hidden)
.u-v--v
(visibility: visible)
.u-v--inher
(visibility: inherit)
.u-c--init
(visibility: initial)
.u-v--un
(visibility: unset)
.u-bfv--h
(backface-visibility: hidden)
.u-bfv--v
(backface-visibility: visible)
.u-o--<level>
(opacity: )
Additionally, JigSass Visibility provides the following stateful helpers:
.u-is-hidden
: Hides elements visually and from screen readers.
.u-is-visually-hidden
: Hides elements visually but leaves them accesible for screen readers.
.u-is-visually-hidden.u-is-focusable
: Reveal focusable visually hidden elements on focus
(with keyboard navigation or js).
Installation
Using npm:
npm i -S jigsass-utils-visibility
Usage
Import JigSass Utils Visibility into your main scss file near its very end, together with all
other utilities (utilities should always be the last to be imported).
@import 'path/to/jigsass-utils-visibility/scss/index';
Like all other JigSass Utils, JigSass Visibility does not automatically generate any CSS
when imported. You would need to explicitly indicate that each individual visibility
class should actually be generated in each component or object it is used in
(clarification: This will include style declarations inside .foo
and .bar
):
// _c.foo.scss
.foo {
@include jigsass-util(u-v, $modifier: h); // <-- visibility: hidden
...
}
// _c.bar.scss
.bar {
@include jigsass-util(u-bfv, $modifier: h); // <-- backface-visibility: hidden
@include jigsass-util(
u-bfv,
$modifier: visible,
$from: large
); // <-- backface-visibility: visible from large bp an on.
...
}
// _c.baz.scss
.baz {
@include jigsass-util(u-is-hidden, $from: medium); // <-- display: none from medium bp an on.
...
}
Doing so helps us a great deal with portability, as no matter where we import component or object
partials, the correct utility classes will be generated. Think of it as a poor man's dependency
management.
Developer communication is also assisted by including "dependencies" wherever they are required,
as anyone going through a partial, can easily understand how it should be marked up with just a
glance.
As far as bloat goes, just don't worry about it - the actual styles will only be generated once,
at the location in the cascade where the Jigsass Visibility partial was imported into the main file.
JigSass Visibility classes are responsive-enabled, using JigSass MQ
and the breakpoints defined in the $jigsass-breakpoints variable.
Based on the breakpoint arguments passed to jigsass-util
when including a visibility class, responsive
modifiers are generated according to the following logic:
.u-v--<modifier>[-[-from-<breakpoint-name>][-until-<breakpoint-name>][-misc-<breakpoint-name>]]
So, assuming the medium
, large
and landscape
breakpoints are defined in $jigsass-breakpoints
as 600px
, 1024px
and (orientation: landscape)
respectively,
@include jigsass-util(u-v, $modifier: h);
will generate the .u-v--h
class, which is not limited to any media-query.
@include jigsass-util(u-v, $modifier: h, $until: medium);
will generate the .u-v--h--until-medium
class, which will be in effect at
(max-width: 37.49em)
and will override styles in the default class until that point.
@include jigsass-util(u-v, $modifier: h, $from: large, $misc: landscape);
will generate the .u-v--h--from-large-when-landscape
class, which will go into
effect at (min-width: 64em) and (orientation: landscape)
and will override styles in the default
class under these conditions.

Progressive Rock Top Albums / all subgenres - all record types - 2016 - all countries
Based on members ratings & PA algorithm
Here is some details about how we calculate the average rating of an album and the rank of an album.
-
Average rating: The classic calculation of the average but more weight is affected to the rating of progarchives.com collaborators and to rating with reviews.
- Rating only: Weight = 1
- Review by members : Weight = 10
- Review by PA Collaborators : Weight = 20
- Rank of an album: We use a calculation that compare an album average rating and number of ratings over all others albums in the query using this theory (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weighted_average) to create a variable every query "QWR" (AKA: Query Weighted Rating) use for ordering.
- By default, only albums with the average ratings above the average ratings of the requested query are displayed in theses lists, you can control this value in the parameters

Ethereum (ETH) Consolidating Below $190, Bitcoin Holding $9K
- Ethereum price is facing a lot of hurdles on the upside near $185 and $186 against the US Dollar.
- Bitcoin is somehow holding the key $9,000 and $8,960 support levels.
- There is a key bearish trend line forming with resistance near $182 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken).
- The pair is mostly trading in a range above the $178 support and below the $186 resistance.
Ethereum price is facing an uphill task versus the US Dollar, similar to bitcoin. ETH price could continue to trade in a range before the next move either above $186 or below $178.
Ethereum Price Analysis
In the past few sessions, Ethereum was seen trading in a range above the $178 support against the US Dollar. ETH price made a couple of attempts to start a fresh increase, but it faced a strong resistance near the $185 and $186 levels.
The last swing high was near $186 before the price declined below the $182 and $180 levels. Moreover, there was a close below the $182 support and the 100 hourly simple moving average. A low was formed near $179 and the price is currently correcting higher.
It surpassed the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $186 high to $179 low. However, the $182 level and the 100 hourly SMA are acting as a strong hurdle for the bulls.
Additionally, the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $186 high to $179 low is acting as a resistance. More importantly, there is a key bearish trend line forming with resistance near $182 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.
Therefore, an upside break above the $182 resistance might push Ethereum price higher. On the upside, the main resistances are near $185 and $186. A clear break above $186 is needed for upside acceleration in the near term.
On the downside, an immediate support is near the $180 level. If there are more downsides, the price could revisit the range support area near the $178 level. A clear break below the $178 support could spark more losses towards $175 and $170.
Looking at the chart, Ethereum price is trading in a range above the $178 support and below the $186 resistance. It may perhaps continue to trade in a range before the next move, which could be either towards the $200 barrier or the $165 support area.
ETH Technical Indicators
Hourly MACD – The MACD for ETH/USD is slowly moving into the bullish zone.
Hourly RSI – The RSI for ETH/USD is currently recovering, but it is still below the 50 level.
Major Support Level – $178
Major Resistance Level – $185

EPL: Pochettino Sends ‘Touching’ Farewell Message To Tottenham Players
by Emmanuel EgobiambuMauricio Pochettino has told Tottenham players that they would always be in his heart following his sack by the Premier League side on Tuesday.
Pochettino was replaced by a former Manchester United coach Jose Mourinho on Wednesday morning by the North London side.
In a farewell message as shared by his assistant Jesus Perez, Pochettino wrote on a tactics board in the players’ dressing room:
“Big thanks to you all. We can’t say goodbye… you will always be in our hearts.”
The pictures were posted on Perez’ Twitter account with the caption: “COYS.”


I was going to write something, but these tweets really summarize and show the fun had at Dev Day really well. Cheers!

During such compound assignments, an implicit cast occurs, potentially resulting in lossy conversions.
Example:
long c = 1; c += 1.2;
After the quick-fix is applied:
long c = 1; c += (long) 1.2;
