Like any new technology, the best way to quickly show and explain it is by giving a very basic tutorial like the classical "Hello World" example. And today, you are going to see one for Puppet. In case you haven't heard it yet, its a tool to automate the management of your entire IT infrastructure. There are tons of articles about it in the Internet, but beware -- most of those are targeted towards System Administrators and alike.
If you are a web developer like me, chances are you'll end up confused reading many of those. That is why I written this article to provide a very basic tutorial in web developers perspective. So lets get started!
Things you'll need:
First thing you need to do is create a folder where you want to place this tutorial. Lets say the folder name is "hellopuppet"
mkdir hellopuppet
go inside the folder and initialize a vagrant file by specifiying an Ubuntu basebox.
cd hellopuppet
vagrant init hashicorp/precise32
What basically happens here is, vagrant init creates an "Vagrantfile" inside the hellopuppet folder. This file tells vagrant what kind of box we want to build. For this case, we specified we want it to be an Ubuntu box by Hashicorp. The good news is, this box already comes with puppet installed, so you wont need to install Puppet yourself and we can just focus in trying it out.
Next is, booting up the box
vagrant up
If the precise32 box was not present yet in your computer, this command will download it (that could take a long time so grab a coffee first ). Once the box was fully loaded, you are ready to write your first Puppet codes!
At this point, it should be like this:
There might be more output messages than the one displayed above. But there should not be red messages. IF there are, check the vagrant documentation as it is outside the scope of this tutorial.
Now login to the Virtual Machine you just had created by executing
vagrant ssh
You should be now inside the VM. Now there is where we will try out Puppet.
Inside the VM, create a file called "hellopuppet.pp"
nano hellopuppet.pp
and put the following code:
file {'/vagrant/helloworld.txt':
ensure => present,
content => "Hello World!",
}
Save the file and exit by pressing Ctrl+O then Ctrl+X
What you just had did is you created a Puppet manifest, which for us PHP Developers are called PHP source codes.
The filename extension it is using is .pp like how we set .php for our PHP files.
The fragment of code you just had pasted is called a "Resource declaration" . There, we are declaring a file with the filename of "helloworld.txt" should be present (via ensure=> present parameter) in the /vagrant directory, and its content should be the text "Hello World!"
Unlike ordinary scripts that we are used to, Puppet language is declarative, it describes how things should be, rather than what are the things to be done.
Lets try running the script!
You can run the script by
puppet apply hellopuppet.pp
It should output something like this:
What the script did is it checked the /vagrant folder if there is a helloworld.txt file present. It figured out there is none so it had created one and put the contents "Hello World!".
Uhmm, what is special in here.. I can do that as well in PHP..
Well, though our sample is just for writing a simple hello world file, Puppet is for some bigger purpose, like:
There is a lot of things to cover about Puppet. From here, I suggest you continue your learning by reading more in here

Maple Leafs lose again as losing streak stretches to six
Cody Glass recorded a goal and an assist, and the Vegas Golden Knights defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-2 on Tuesday in Las Vegas.
Mark Stone, Tomas Nosek and Cody Eakin also scored for Vegas. Max Pacioretty had two assists, and Marc-Andre Fleury made 31 saves.
Jason Spezza had a goal and an assist, Zach Hyman also scored, and Frederik Andersen made 33 saves for the Maple Leafs. Toronto’s losing streak stretched to six games (0-5-1), its longest since an 0-5-1 stretch from Feb. 27-March 7, 2016.
Spezza scored on a hard wrist shot at 7:26 of the third period to tie the game at 1-1 and end Fleury’s bid for a second straight shutout.
The Golden Knights moved back ahead 42 seconds later when Nosek poked the puck away from Toronto defenceman Tyson Barrie at the red line, leading to a breakaway. Nosek made a move on Andersen before backhanding the puck into the net for a 2-1 lead.
Stone scored from the bottom of the right circle with John Tavares in the penalty box for hooking, stretching the Vegas lead to 3-1 at 10:22.
Hyman came back with a power-play goal at 12:47 to cut the deficit to 3-2.
Fleury made a diving save on a rebound try by Nic Petan with 3:43 left, then helped killed a power play that began with 3:20 remaining before Eakin scored into an empty net with 21 seconds left for the 4-2 final.
Vegas was on the first power play of the game when Pacioretty took a one-timer from just above the right faceoff dot.
The puck squeezed through Andersen’s pads and briefly stopped in the crease before Glass pushed it across the goal-line at 8:07 of the second period.
It marked the eighth straight game in which the Maple Leafs allowed the first goal.

Syntax:
reduce function sequence &key key from-end start end initial-value => result
Arguments and Values:
function---a designator for a function that might be called with either zero or two arguments.
sequence---a proper sequence.
key---a designator for a function of one argument, or nil.
from-end---a generalized boolean. The default is false.
start, end---bounding index designators of sequence. The defaults for start and end are 0 and nil, respectively.
initial-value---an object.
result---an object.
Description:
reduce uses a binary operation, function, to combine the elements of sequence bounded by start and end.
The function must accept as arguments two elements of sequence or the results from combining those elements. The function must also be able to accept no arguments.
If key is supplied, it is used is used to extract the values to reduce. The key function is applied exactly once to each element of sequence in the order implied by the reduction order but not to the value of initial-value, if supplied. The key function typically returns part of the element of sequence. If key is not supplied or is nil, the sequence element itself is used.
The reduction is left-associative, unless from-end is true in which case it is right-associative.
If initial-value is supplied, it is logically placed before the subsequence (or after it if from-end is true) and included in the reduction operation.
In the normal case, the result of reduce is the combined result of function's being applied to successive pairs of elements of sequence. If the subsequence contains exactly one element and no initial-value is given, then that element is returned and function is not called. If the subsequence is empty and an initial-value is given, then the initial-value is returned and function is not called. If the subsequence is empty and no initial-value is given, then the function is called with zero arguments, and reduce returns whatever function does. This is the only case where the function is called with other than two arguments.

Affected By: None.
Exceptional Situations:
Should be prepared to signal an error of type type-error if sequence is not a proper sequence.

Notes: None.


Five things to watch for in the Canadian business world in the coming week
TORONTO — Five things to watch for in the Canadian business world in the coming week: Bank of Canada speech Bank of Canada senior deputy governor Carolyn Wilkins will give a speech Tuesday to the International Finance Club of Montreal on safeguarding
by Canadian PressTORONTO — Five things to watch for in the Canadian business world in the coming week:
Bank of Canada speech
Bank of Canada senior deputy governor Carolyn Wilkins will give a speech Tuesday to the International Finance Club of Montreal on safeguarding the financial system. Last week, the central bank's chief operating officer Filipe Dinis called for greater collaboration between government bodies and the private sector with regard to sharing information about cybersecurity threats, which may require new regulations or legislation.
George Weston earnings
George Weston Ltd. will release its third-quarter earnings on Tuesday. The Toronto-based retail, bakery and real estate company reported in July that second-quarter profit jumped to $184 million, up from $28 million last year, as it benefited from acquiring direct ownership of a controlling stake in Choice Properties from its subsidiary.
TC investor day
TC Energy Corp. hosts its annual Investor Day to provide an update on operations, recent developments and strategic outlook on Tuesday. The owner of the Keystone pipeline said Nov. 10 that the line had returned to service after a breach that leaked an estimated 1.4 million litres of oil in northeastern North Dakota late last month.
October inflation numbers
Statistics Canada to release its consumer price index for October on Wednesday. The agency’s report for September stated that the annual inflation rate was 1.9 per cent for a second-straight month, keeping the indicator close to the Bank of Canada's ideal two per cent target.
Metro update
Metro Inc. releases its fourth-quarter financial results on Wednesday. The Montreal-based company said in August that it would fast-track the deployment of technology such as self-service checkouts and electronic shelf labels to its stores in an effort to lower labour costs, and expects to have self-service checkouts in 100 stores by the end of its 2019 financial year.

Oubre Jr. scores season-high 30, Suns beat Hawks 128-112
by DAVID BRANDTPHOENIX (AP) — Kelly Oubre Jr. scored a season-high 30 points, Devin Booker added 27 and the Phoenix Suns beat the Atlanta Hawks 128-112 on Thursday night.
Phoenix (7-4) took a 104-90 lead into the final quarter after Oubre hit a buzzer-beating 3-pointer at the end of the third and kept a comfortable lead throughout the fourth. The Suns are off to their best start through 11 games since 2009, when they started 9-2.
Oubre’s big performance came two nights after his worst of the season. He scored just one point in 19 minutes in a loss to the Lakers.
Dario Saric added 23 points after shooting 9 of 12 from the field, including 3 of 5 from 3-point range.
Atlanta (4-7) was led by Jabari Parker, who scored 24 points. Trae Young had 21 points and 13 assists two nights after a 42-point, 11-assist performance in a win over Denver.
Booker scored 19 points in the first half as the Suns built a 67-61 halftime lead. Young had 17 points and six assists for the Hawks.

MISSING PIECES
Both the Hawks and the Suns were missing key pieces to their teams because of 25-game suspensions for violating the NBA’s Anti-Drug program.
Suns center Deandre Ayton played in just one game before being suspended for using a diuretic. Hawks forward John Collins tested positive for a growth hormone called Peptide-2.
Ayton was the No. 1 pick one year ago and had 18 points and 11 rebounds in his only game this season. Collins was averaging 17 points and 8.8 rebounds before his suspension.
BEMBRY, REDDISH EJECTED
Hawks guard DeAndre’ Bembry was ejected in the third quarter after getting called for two quick technical fouls.
He got the first technical for taunting after blocking Ricky Rubio’s shot. He earned the second a few seconds later for arguing. Booker also was called for a technical during the commotion.
Rookie Cam Reddish was ejected with about four minutes left after getting two flagrant fouls on two separate plays on offensive fouls when he hit a Suns defender in the face with his elbow.
Advertising
TIP-INS
Hawks: Kevin Huerter (left shoulder), Evan Turner (left Achilles pain) and Vince Carter (personal reasons) didn’t play on Thursday. Coach Lloyd Pierce said the Hawks are relieved that Huerter doesn’t need surgery for his injury and will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
Suns: Rookie guard Ty Jerome still hasn’t played this season because of a right ankle sprain he suffered just before the beginning of the regular season.
UP NEXT
Hawks: Continue their road trip at the Clippers on Saturday.
Suns: Host the Celtics on Monday.

I have a basic layout that I think I can use to test the rest of the site now. W3Schools has been very helpful to get the menus and such working.
This is what I have so far.
This is workable, and I'm probably going to work with it, because I want to get back to working on the pages themselves. However, I can't seem to get the buttons and such to center themselves. This is the CSS Code that is associated with it. The form fields and such will center, but not the button itself.
I'll keep working on the CSS to see if I can fix it, and a few other things. One thing I want to do is create a separate page for the header that I can attach to the top of each page, since the sidebar isn't going to change that much. The one thing I'm not sure about, though, is whether or not I can still use the session data to add the username to the header, which is what I'm currently doing.
For now, I'm going to work on simplifying the design of the older pages, without affecting their function. It'll make things much easier to sort, at least for me.

11. Performance Tuning
11.4 Paginated Queries
Another common situation found in interactive applications is when it is needed
to fetch a large number of rows, and at the same time only a small subset of objects
is accessed directly. An example of such application would be a search page.
User would like to see how many total results exist that match a certain criteria,
but she will only look at a few pages of results out of possibly hundreds or thousands.
It will be extremely inefficient to fetch all objects in the memory.
A solution
offered by Cayenne is "paginated" queries. A user can set a size of a "page" of a select query.
If page size is greater than zero, on query execution Cayenne will only fetch the first
"page" as DataObjects. For the rest of the result set, only primary keys are read.
When a user accesses an object that has not been resolved
yet, the whole page containing this object will be resolved all at once. Most important,
this happens totally transparent to the user.
Our tests show almost an order of magnitude speed increase when comparing the time it
takes to read a full list of 2000 objects, and the time it takes
to do the initial paginated query fetch with page size of 50.
Paged query example:
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
import org.objectstyle.cayenne.access.DataContext;
import org.objectstyle.cayenne.query.SelectQuery;
import org.objectstyle.art.Artist;
...
DataContext ctxt;
// create a query returning data rows
SelectQuery q = new SelectQuery(Artist.class);
q.setPageSize(50);
// the fact that result is paged is transparent
List artistRows = ctxt.performQuery(q);
// we are reading from the first page (index < 50),
// this will simply return an object
Artist artist1 = (Artist)artistRows.get(3);
// we are reading from the 4th page,
// this will transparently resolve all objects on "Page #4"
// and then return an object in question
Artist artist2 = (Artist)artistRows.get(153);
// This is safe and will NOT trigger a full fetch
int size = artistRows.size();
...
|
Combining data rows and paginated queries
Cayenne supports combining both performance optimizations in the same query -
fetching data rows (see previous chapters) and paginated queries. So if users
work with tabular data and don't care much about real objects, combining the
two approaches would improve speed and memory use even more.

Hi! I'm Rahul, an undergrad at the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras. I am pursuing a BS & MS in Physics degree at the Dept. of Physics with a minor in Chemistry. I am interested in pursuing graduate program in Astronomy & Astrophysics. Specifically, I would like to work on large scale surveys, on extra-galactic astronomy, on astronomical instrumentation and on the first stars, galaxies in the universe.

I was schooled in my hometown of Ongole, Andhra Pradesh and after being coached for 2 years at the Narayana Junior College, Hyderabad to crack the IIT JEE, the toughest engineering entrance exam in the country, I placed 2944 in JEE `09, among the top 3% that year. I then joined the BS & MS in Physics program.
During the first month in college, I was part of the ambience team for the Freshers' night `09. Alas the event was cancelled due to unforseen circumstances. Later in the year, during Shaastra*, I was a volunteer for the Shaastra Car team. Over the course of a week, we built a rudimentary version of the bat-mobile i.e a car which can morph into a bike. I then went on to become a volunteer for the Extra Mural Lecture team at IIT Madras. As part of the team, I hosted and organized talks by eminent speakers such as Boman Irani. I was also a photography & equipment volunteer during Saarang, the cultural festival of IIT Madras.
All said and done, the amateur astronomy club 'Astro IITM' had the most impact on me. A trip to rameswaram in order to observe an annular solar eclipse in jan `10 ignited in me an interest in astronomy. I have since been involved with the club on various levels of organization.
During my second year of college, I coordinated a workshop on behalf of the Astronomy club during Shaastra*. As part of a team of 4, we held a workshop on how-to make telescope. Over the course of 5 days, 10 teams built newtonian reflectors. I was also a coordinator for the Extra Mural Lecture team during my second year, responsible for contacting, inviting and arranging for talks. Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, Dr. Y. V. Reddy, P. Sainath are some of the people invited during `10-`11 by the EML team.
I coordinated a second workshop on behalf of the astronomy club during my third year of college, on Astro-photography. We took the help of Dr. Suresh Mohan, an eminent astrophotographer from Chennai. The participants were introduced to the concept of CCDs and basics of astrophotography followed by a hands-on image processing session using GIMP*.
Right around my fourth year of college, I found my passion in astrophysics and my interests changed from extra-curricular activies to co-curricular activities.
I attended the IIST Astronomy & Astrophysics School at IIST, Trivandrum during Dec `12. I then attended the ARIES Training School on Observational Astronomy at ARIES, Nainital during Mar `13. I took up a project under Dr. Anand Narayanan at IIST in the summer of `13. I then worked with Dr. Jeremy Mould at Swinburne University of Technology in the winter of `14, in the middle of my 5th year of college life. A detailed account of my work & project experience can be found on the research page.

Elizabeth TAFE campus evacuated following series of arson attacks
A building at the Elizabeth TAFE campus has been evacuated following a series of “reckless” arson attacks this morning, concerning police ahead of catastrophic fire danger. Picture: 10 News
Emergency services arrived at the campus on Woodford Rd just after 10am, responding to a fire in an asbestos-laden toilet block.
MFS crews extinguished the fire, but the toilet block will need to be demolished.
Two other blazes were reported while emergency services were on the scene – one in a rubbish bin and another in a building.
No one was injured.
Police expressed their concern over the “reckless” attacks before a day of catastrophic fire danger.
Anyone who saw or heard any suspicious activity today, or in recent days, or who has any information that may assist the investigation is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online.

Enterprise 2.0 and weight loss - siblings separated at birth?
This blog entry is inspired and largely translated from this German article authored by enterprise consultant Andreas Schulze-Kopp. Having gone through some personal transformation (final results in November) myself, I found Andreas' comparison of Enterprise 2.0 initiatives and weight loss programs intriguing.
The tasks are comparable: alter habits, break through the mould of old behavioural pattern (a.k.a processes in business lingo) show enough determination and will power to see it through. While Andreas provides an " Augenweide" I'll offer (only) a mindmap. (Buzan's own iMindMap ditched their Linux development, so I'm switching to XMind).
Will power is fuelled by conviction and conviction needs to be fuelled by vision. Where do I want to be: "Envision you look into the mirror and you love what you see". Or to use Antoine's words: " If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea".
This list by far isn't complete and you are welcome to add your own thoughts
The tasks are comparable: alter habits, break through the mould of old behavioural pattern (a.k.a processes in business lingo) show enough determination and will power to see it through. While Andreas provides an " Augenweide" I'll offer (only) a mindmap. (Buzan's own iMindMap ditched their Linux development, so I'm switching to XMind).
Change of habits
Without rethinking habits and processes neither a social business project nor the latest, greatest diet have any chance for sustainable success. Change is inevitable and needs to be embraced openly. Don't commit the folly presuming to get it right the first time, so even the change process needs adjustment, change changes. As with the diet: Start moving!. Without movement both your weight loss and your social business initiative are dead in the water.Process cleanup
Once you got rid of old habits, your procedures and processed need to be adjusted or terminated. There is no more space for the sugar bomb in the freezer or the Monday morning spreadshit in the inbox. You drink green tea and the latest figures are either in the Social CRM or in your openly shared files.Will power
The key ingredient! Without the unwavering will to see it through both can't be sustained. Unavoidable setbacks and negative experiences can be offset by determination. The determination to continue even if initially you lost a few pounds only, despite feeling hungry and moving a lot. The determination to see the project through even when the initial project acceptance isn't stellar and contributions stay sparse.Conviction
A life style change (induced by a diet) and an enterprise 2.0 project must be backed by the conviction to do the right thing. If I'm not convinced my willpower will wafer and I soon find myself crafting excuses to exit. Senior management must be a role model and participate authentic in the enterprise 2.0. Employees have a fine BS radar and "lip-service only" participation of senior management will result in lip-service only imitation and ultimately failure.Will power is fuelled by conviction and conviction needs to be fuelled by vision. Where do I want to be: "Envision you look into the mirror and you love what you see". Or to use Antoine's words: " If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea".
Patience and endurance
Rome wasn't built in a day, real change in shape and organisation take time. In a time where the cadence of most organisations is determined by their quarterly reports, patience is a rather rare commodity. The temptation is great to increase the pressure to see results now, only to face a backslash shortly thereafter. Behaviour and understanding are no simple switches that can be flipped, their fundamental changes need to be practised and settle inThe Jo-Jo effect
Easy goes, easy comes (daily mourning of a "diet pro"). Changing your shape, personally and in the enterprise requires permanent changes in behaviour and attitude. A short term, high effort, fast paced program can't sustain (even if lots of organisations think so), once the effort fizzles out (typically replaced by another corporate wide initiative) old habits resurface, old processes get reinstated and goals get abandoned. The organisation bounces back to old habits. Changing habits takes time, allocating to little of it dooms any project.The support group
Working out, moving, doing things different makes more fun in the right company. Members in a group motivate, compete and catch each other. The same is true for the enterprise 2.0 projects. Group dynamics will require skilled leaders. This is where your social champions become crystallisation points for the social transformation.Counting vs. quality
Remember (or ask one who remembers) how counting calories in the last diet sucked big time. It feels like being restricted. A good diet rather improves on the quality and variation of food, so portions can shrink. The same applies to the enterprise 2.0 space. If all that is cared for are numbers, employees feel additional pressures and will time and again prove their creativity in gaming the metric - not the result you are working for. Focus on quality!The tools
There is a whole industry catering to weight loss candidates - as there is for enterprise 2.0. If running is your weapon of choice, you should have good shoes.  The same applies in the organisation. Tools on their own have no effect (think sport shoes in the closet), but with the other items in this little list they can make success easier. Pick them well and in line with your goals (having "share" in the name doesn't make it social by default).This list by far isn't complete and you are welcome to add your own thoughts

Coco is a small extension to get True C Coroutine semantics for Lua 5.1. Coco is available as a patch set against the standard Lua 5.1.5 source distribution.
Coco is also integrated into » LuaJIT 1.x to allow yielding for JIT compiled functions. But note that Coco does not depend on LuaJIT and works fine with plain Lua.
Coco is Copyright © 2004-2012 Mike Pall. Coco is free software, released under the » MIT license (same license as the Lua core).
Features
True C coroutine semantics mean you can yield from a coroutine across a C call boundary and resume back to it. Coco allows you to use a dedicated C stack for each coroutine. Resuming a coroutine and yielding from a coroutine automatically switches C stacks. No changes are needed to your Lua source code.
In particular you can now:
- Yield across all metamethods (not advised for __gc).
- Yield across iterator functions (for x in func do).
- Yield across callbacks (table.foreach(), dofile(), ...).
- Yield across protected callbacks (pcall(), xpcall(), ...).
- Yield from C functions and resume back to them.
Coco needs some machine-specific features, but runs fine on Linux, *BSD, Mac OS X, Windows and probably anything else you can find.

snowdamn29-Sep-18 07:58 AM
@hyperDEX yes, your efforts should be profitable and Komodo benefits regardless
wasn't trying to say there shouldn't be a profit model
a good part of the anticipated profits from the fees would need to be reflected in the sale price (in the M&A case) anyway

A quick analogy of why pirates came into existence should give a good overview of the correct trajectory for the coin. It appears to meet hand in hook with the reason btc became accepted (at first) ... there is an underlying principle here that will be realised given time

DesignBlock29-Sep-18 09:09 AM
Hello newbie here..
Can someone explain me how come "Independent blockchain on Komodo does not share infrastructure"?(edited)
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴29-Sep-18 09:42 AM
@DesignBlock Independent blockchains (aka "assetchains") are fully independent in essentially the same manner as any two different chains are.
In the super-shortest explanation:
The only "link" that happens is with dPoW, and that's where a notary creates a transaction on the chain and that transaction carries data (which is interpreted and used in the same manner as conventional "checkpoints")(edited)
Other than notary transactions, each chain is ran and moved along by the community around it (which may or may not involve the Komodo community at large)
DesignBlock29-Sep-18 10:11 AM
Quite same as EOS BPs? Can someone create its own Komodo Platform n interoperate with old Komodo?
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴29-Sep-18 10:19 AM
No, nothing like EOS. Anyone can produce a block on an assetchain; in fact, several assetchains are to where each user can create their own block for their own transaction (block-on-demand)
DesignBlock29-Sep-18 11:22 AM
All assetchains are run by 60 notary nodes, right?
So there is no option to run a token/dapp just under an assetchain / Komodo platform.. having own assetchain is mandatory?
 Having own miners?
jl777c29-Sep-18 11:25 AM
for assetchains,it could be that notaries dont generate any blocks at all
please read a bit more, there is no simple one word answer
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴29-Sep-18 11:28 AM
@DesignBlock If you create an assetchain, how it's mined is up to you (there are many options) you can use miners, as jl suggested PoS, or even let each user create a block on demand by using thier wallet
DesignBlock29-Sep-18 11:30 AM
Wow, how about Komodo itself? How it is maintained? Or Komodo is not a blockchain? But a protocol?
for KMD to do what it does, it cant be explained in an "elevator pitch"
KMD has so much power that without any code changes the community can create and launch the third highest hashrate equihash coin
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴29-Sep-18 11:34 AM
Like ogres and onions, it has many layers
DesignBlock29-Sep-18 11:36 AM
So there is no such thing as "Mainchain" in Komodo, it works for the whole yet each is independent, right?
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴29-Sep-18 11:37 AM
Correct, each chain is a completely separate, entirely independent, full blockchain
jl777c29-Sep-18 11:38 AM
there are many mainchains
we often use the mainchain of one coin as the testnet
DesignBlock29-Sep-18 11:38 AM
Who decides Komodo's development? Is there onchain governance? Like voting?
jl777c29-Sep-18 11:39 AM
people see something that needs to be fixed or implemented and when it works its pull request is accepted
a pure meritocracy
I believe that buggy code is bad even if it is submitted in a pull request by a person of color
or a person of any color
code that works, it is accepted, regardless of the submitter.
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴29-Sep-18 11:40 AM

Why do the big cryptosites ignore Komodo? What is the reason? Coindesk, Cointelegraph and in Germany BTC-Echo? Currently they speak of decentralized exchanges and list many, but don’t mention BarterDEX. No matter what it's about, whether scaling, DEX, TPS, etc., they ignore all Komodo.
jl777c29-Sep-18 03:38 PM
we dont pay for placement
and 99% of crypto "journalism" is actually paid placements, ie. advertising

journalism is dependent in general not only in crypto
jl777c29-Sep-18 03:44 PM
but there is so much ICO funds chasing limited crypto "news" inventory
passcombo.com 🏴☠🏴29-Sep-18 03:44 PM
actually today a good social media could create platforms so that independent people could create journals... even steemit if tuned up could serve as such thing
Seko29-Sep-18 03:45 PM
We need a independent and decentralized crypto journalism...;)
Yassin29-Sep-18 03:46 PM
we need poker and casino run with komodo!! (edited)
passcombo.com 🏴☠🏴29-Sep-18 03:46 PM
the biggest "mistake" is journalism is tuning up to biggest crowds (to make more money) to feed their needs. In crypto 99% population does not have a need to deeply understand tech implications, but to know how many tokens exist and where to "invest", so these "journals" are doing that for money
Yassin29-Sep-18 03:47 PM
and chips
passcombo.com 🏴☠🏴29-Sep-18 03:47 PM
true educational journalism would be "we do not want to tune to anybody, just we share truth and aducation, if you search for it, there you have it"
and this leads to progress
evolution
current journalism is more selling/marketing and leads to bubble creation
difference is basically the same as short and long vision for value ... shorts create more fluctuations

Utrum (OOT) is striving to be crypto education/news/investing advice platform. they are using Komodo infrastructure to do it (token is secured by dPOW)

passcombo.com 🏴☠🏴29-Sep-18 03:52 PM
@crumb good, but this way OOT is aiming at needs of less then 1% of society, do not expect it to be popular and valued by masses = gain a lot of marketcap value
Seko29-Sep-18 03:52 PM
@crumb yes, I know. Few month ago were the crypto sites my daily reading. But this time is over...(edited)
passcombo.com 🏴☠🏴29-Sep-18 03:53 PM
but I hope they will chance sth, there are always some chances to lead a change
crumb29-Sep-18 03:53 PM
yeah, sure i know it's a niche thing. but still they are striving to do the right thing
in time the amount of people interested in this tech will increase
of course it'll take years
passcombo.com 🏴☠🏴29-Sep-18 04:02 PM
@Deleted User it will also be decentralized governance? decentralization not always means sth will be good... if most people will like to earn money it will be like journals - dencetralized as they got many shareholders wanting to make money
to keep the vision it must be centralized around the vision and to enforce it you need to have a leader who is leading it - so it must be centralized
like Elon Musk leading Tesla
or Jobs Apple
Some way the platform should allow to have many centers - leaders, so if you dont liek one, you take the other group
I'm thinking if there could be a platform that could enforce some good behaviors by design
and to my mind it must reflect properties and processes we already have in real life, like ID (trust system), voting and publishing information
also I like spam protection steemit like (every transaction is paid)

Hungry_BullBear29-Sep-18 06:46 PM
Is there a good article that explains Delayed proof of work that KMD uses ?
So ... some kind of checkpoints or markers are stored in BTC blockchain that give safe Restart points if the KMD network gets attacked ? Is this correction summation of the method used ?
And that process is named notarization ?
https://kmd.suprnova.cc/ - 14.5 milion Mhs is stated here .. is this number accurate ? It seams price should be much much higher with that amount of computing power ?
jl777c29-Sep-18 07:04 PM
KMD is too complicated for most people, so they dont buy it
overall diff is about 50 million now
Hungry_BullBear29-Sep-18 07:05 PM
what is the actual goal of KMD ?
It claims to be privacy currency and there is a talk of smart contracts as well
how does it stack against XMR being currency ?
How does it stack against ETH and EOS being smart contract platform ?

The brazen assassination took place on the streets of Rio de Janeiro just one month after Brazil’s President, Michel Temer, ordered the military to occupy the city in order to stabilise security, the first time since the end of Brazil’s 21-year-long military dictatorship in 1985 that its military has “intervened” in a major city.
Franco vehemently denounced the military intervention and was just appointed to lead a commission investigating its possible fiscal abuses.
But what is most notable, and most devastating, about Franco’s murder is how improbable and unique her trajectory was to the public stage. A black LGBT+ woman in a country notoriously dominated by racism, sexism and traditional religious dogma, she was raised in one of Rio’s largest, poorest and most violent slums, the Maré complex.
She became a single mother at the age of 19, but graduated college, obtained a masters in sociology, and then became one of the city’s most effective human rights activists, leading often dangerous campaigns against pervasive police violence, corruption and extra-judicial murders that targeted the city’s poor, black residents with whom she grew up.
As she became increasingly political, Franco joined Brazil’s new left-wing party, the Party of Socialism and Liberty (PSOL), and quickly became one of its stars.

The simplest way to build a replicated Berkeley DB application is to first build (and debug!) the transactional version of the same application. Then, add a thin replication layer: application initialization must be changed and the application's communication infrastructure must be added.
The application initialization changes are relatively simple. Replication Manager provides a communication infrastructure, but in order to use the replication Base APIs you must provide your own.
For implementation reasons, all replicated databases must reside in the data directories set from DB_ENV->add_data_dir() (or in the default environment home directory, if not using DB_ENV->add_data_dir()), rather than in a subdirectory below the specified directory. Care must be taken in applications using relative pathnames and changing working directories after opening the environment. In such applications the replication initialization code may not be able to locate the databases, and applications that change their working directories may need to use absolute pathnames.
During application initialization, the application performs three additional tasks: first, it must specify the DB_INIT_REP flag when opening its database environment and additionally, a Replication Manager application must also specify the DB_THREAD flag; second, it must provide Berkeley DB information about its communications infrastructure; and third, it must start the Berkeley DB replication system. Generally, a replicated application will do normal Berkeley DB recovery and configuration, exactly like any other transactional application.
Replication Manager applications configure the built-in communications infrastructure by calling obtaining a DB_SITE handle, and then using it to configure the local site. It can optionally obtain one or more DB_SITE handles to configure remote sites. Once the environment has been opened, the application starts the replication system by calling the DB_ENV->repmgr_start() method.
A Base API application calls the DB_ENV->rep_set_transport() method to configure the entry point to its own communications infrastructure, and then calls the DB_ENV->rep_start() method to join or create the replication group.
When starting the replication system, an application has two choices: it may choose the group master site explicitly, or alternatively it may configure all group members as clients and then call for an election, letting the clients select the master from among themselves. Either is correct, and the choice is entirely up to the application.
Replication Manager applications make this choice simply by setting the flags parameter to the DB_ENV->repmgr_start() method.
For a Base API application, the result of calling DB_ENV->rep_start() is usually the discovery of a master, or the declaration of the local environment as the master. If a master has not been discovered after a reasonable amount of time, the application should call DB_ENV->rep_elect() to call for an election.
Consider a Base API application with multiple processes or multiple environment handles that modify databases in the replicated environment. All modifications must be done on the master environment. The first process to join or create the master environment must call both the DB_ENV->rep_set_transport() and the DB_ENV->rep_start() method. Subsequent replication processes must at least call the DB_ENV->rep_set_transport() method. Those processes may call the DB_ENV->rep_start() method (as long as they use the same master or client argument). If multiple processes are modifying the master environment there must be a unified communication infrastructure such that messages arriving at clients have a single master ID. Additionally the application must be structured so that all incoming messages are able to be processed by a single DB_ENV handle.
Note that not all processes running in replicated environments need to call DB_ENV->repmgr_start(), DB_ENV->rep_set_transport() or DB_ENV->rep_start(). Read-only processes running in a master environment do not need to be configured for replication in any way. Processes running in a client environment are read-only by definition, and so do not need to be configured for replication either (although, in the case of clients that may become masters, it is usually simplest to configure for replication on process startup rather than trying to reconfigure when the client becomes a master). Obviously, at least one thread of control on each client must be configured for replication as messages must be passed between the master and the client.
Any site in a replication group may have its own private transactional databases in the environment as well. A site may create a local database by specifying the DB_TXN_NOT_DURABLE flag to the DB->set_flags() method. The application must never create a private database with the same name as a database replicated across the entire environment as data corruption can result.
If encryption is desired in a replicated application, all sites in the replication group must use encryption. The use of a secure transport is strongly recommended because some log and database information is transmitted between sites in unencrypted form.
For implementation reasons, Base API applications must process all incoming replication messages using the same DB_ENV handle. It is not required that a single thread of control process all messages, only that all threads of control processing messages use the same handle.
 The application should shut down the environment in the usual manner, by calling the DB_ENV->close() method. For Replication Manager applications, this also terminates all network connections and background processing threads.

Welcome to the new-and-improved blog (previously Mastering Chemistry).
As I’ve gotten more and more involved with the technology, almost by default, I became more and more spread out across the internet on different servers and host sites. After talking with Jeff Utecht at the EARCOS Teacher’s Conference, he strongly encouraged me to set up my own name domain on a dedicated server…so, brianbennett.org was born.
This is merely the blog portion. I’m still working on a catchy name, but the theme of the blog will remain the same. I will continue to post thoughts on education philosophy as the 21st century marches onward and how we need to meet students where they are in the digital age.

Product & UI Design
To better understand the size and shape of my chosen design, I created a low fidelity prototype with adjustable components to test on multiple users. I had users move the touchscreen to their preferred height both while standing and sitting to accommodate potential users in a wheel chair. Working in 3-dimension also allowed me to gain insights regarding the infeasibility of a physically dynamic touchscreen and placement of the static payment interface.
Interface components are designed to accommodate a 5th percentile female in a wheelchair, a 95th percentile standing male, and everyone in between.
I created a wireframe of the interface to test the flow on various users in a rapid and informal way. I also wanted to delve deeper into the method of selecting parking time, as I was particularly frustrated with the existing solution. I explored more visual representations of time selection that were more intuitive and relied on a playful analogy of the sun rising and setting.
With a shape inspired by the iconic entryway to North Shore, this parking meter uses a solar panel to power the virtually dynamic interface, accommodating users of all sizes.


Modules serve two purposes in Ruby, namespacing and mix-in functionality.
A namespace can be used to organize code by package or functionality that separates common names from interference by other packages. For example, the IRB namespace provides functionality for irb that prevents a collision for the common name “Context”.
Mix-in functionality allows sharing common methods across multiple classes
or modules. Ruby comes with the Enumerable mix-in module which provides
many enumeration methods based on the each
method and Comparable allows comparison of objects
based on the <=>
comparison method.
Note that there are many similarities between modules and classes. Besides the ability to mix-in a module, the description of modules below also applies to classes.
A module is created using the module
keyword:
module MyModule # ... end
A module may be reopened any number of times to add, change or remove functionality:
module MyModule def my_method end end module MyModule alias my_alias my_method end module MyModule remove_method :my_method end
Reopening classes is a very powerful feature of Ruby, but it is best to only reopen classes you own. Reopening classes you do not own may lead to naming conflicts or difficult to diagnose bugs.
Modules may be nested:
module Outer module Inner end end
Many packages create a single outermost module (or class) to provide a namespace for their functionality.
You may also define inner modules using ::
provided the outer
modules (or classes) are already defined:
module Outer::Inner::GrandChild end
Note that this will raise a NameError
if Outer
and Outer::Inner
are not already defined.
This style has the benefit of allowing the author to reduce the amount of indentation. Instead of 3 levels of indentation only one is necessary. However, the scope of constant lookup is different for creating a namespace using this syntax instead of the more verbose syntax.
self
¶ ↑self
refers to the object that defines the current scope.
self
will change when entering a different method or when
defining a new module.
Accessible constants are different depending on the module nesting (which
syntax was used to define the module). In the following example the
constant A::Z
is accessible from B as A is part of the
nesting:
module A Z = 1 module B p Module.nesting #=> [A::B, A] p Z #=> 1 end end
However, if you use ::
to define A::B
without
nesting it inside A
, a NameError exception will be raised because
the nesting does not include A
:
module A Z = 1 end module A::B p Module.nesting #=> [A::B] p Z #=> raises NameError end
If a constant is defined at the top-level you may preceded it with
::
to reference it:
Z = 0 module A Z = 1 module B p ::Z #=> 0 end end
For method definition documentation see the syntax documentation for methods.
Class methods may be called directly. (This is slightly confusing, but a method on a module is often called a “class method” instead of a “module method”. See also Module#module_function which can convert an instance method into a class method.)
When a class method references a constant, it uses the same rules as referencing it outside the method as the scope is the same.
Instance methods defined in a module are only callable when included. These methods have access to the constants defined when they were included through the ancestors list:
module A Z = 1 def z Z end end include A p self.class.ancestors #=> [Object, A, Kernel, BasicObject] p z #=> 1
Ruby has three types of visibility. The default is public
. A
public method may be called from any other object.
The second visibility is protected
. When calling a protected
method the sender must be a subclass of the receiver or the receiver must
be a subclass of the sender. Otherwise a NoMethodError will be raised.
Protected visibility is most frequently used to define ==
and
other comparison methods where the author does not wish to expose an
object's state to any caller and would like to restrict it only to
inherited classes.
Here is an example:
class A def n(other) other.m end end class B < A def m 1 end protected :m end class C < B end a = A.new b = B.new c = C.new c.n b #=> 1 -- C is a subclass of B b.n b #=> 1 -- m called on defining class a.n b # raises NoMethodError A is not a subclass of B
The third visibility is private
. A private method may only be
called from inside the owner class without a receiver, or with a literal
self
as a receiver. If a private method is called with a
receiver other than a literal self
, a NoMethodError will be raised.
class A def without m end def with_self self.m end def with_other A.new.m end def with_renamed copy = self copy.m end def m 1 end private :m end a = A.new a.without #=> 1 a.with_self #=> 1 a.with_other # NoMethodError (private method `m' called for #<A:0x0000559c287f27d0>) a.with_renamed # NoMethodError (private method `m' called for #<A:0x0000559c285f8330>)
alias
and undef
¶ ↑You may also alias or undefine methods, but these operations are not restricted to modules or classes. See the miscellaneous syntax section for documentation.
Every class is also a module, but unlike modules a class may not be mixed-in to another module (or class). Like a module, a class can be used as a namespace. A class also inherits methods and constants from its superclass.
Use the class
keyword to create a class:
class MyClass # ... end
If you do not supply a superclass your new class will inherit from Object. You may inherit from a different
class using <
followed by a class name:
class MySubclass < MyClass # ... end
There is a special class BasicObject which is designed as a blank class and includes a minimum of built-in methods. You can use BasicObject to create an independent inheritance structure. See the BasicObject documentation for further details.
Any method defined on a class is callable from its subclass:
class A Z = 1 def z Z end end class B < A end p B.new.z #=> 1
The same is true for constants:
class A Z = 1 end class B < A def z Z end end p B.new.z #=> 1
You can override the functionality of a superclass method by redefining the method:
class A def m 1 end end class B < A def m 2 end end p B.new.m #=> 2
If you wish to invoke the superclass functionality from a method use
super
:
class A def m 1 end end class B < A def m 2 + super end end p B.new.m #=> 3
When used without any arguments super
uses the arguments given
to the subclass method. To send no arguments to the superclass method use
super()
. To send specific arguments to the superclass method
provide them manually like super(2)
.
super
may be called as many times as you like in the subclass
method.
The singleton class (also known as the metaclass or eigenclass) of an
object is a class that holds methods for only that instance. You can
access the singleton class of an object using class <<
object
like this:
class C end class << C # self is the singleton class here end
Most frequently you'll see the singleton class accessed like this:
class C class << self # ... end end
This allows definition of methods and attributes on a class (or module)
without needing to write def self.my_method
.
Since you can open the singleton class of any object this means that this code block:
o = Object.new def o.my_method 1 + 1 end
is equivalent to this code block:
o = Object.new class << o def my_method 1 + 1 end end
Both objects will have a my_method
that returns
2
.

Kalie Holub knows she could sprain her ankle or cause a stress fracture when she puts on heels — but that doesn’t matter to her right now.
The senior studying international business and marketing said she feels powerful when she puts them on. She wore heels almost everyday of her summer internship with Sport Inspired in London, switching between the five pairs she brought. She even bought two more pairs while there.
“I didn’t mind,” she said.
With an extensive history, heels can still stand as a symbol of power and fashion, despite the pain and injury that can be associated with the heightened style.
A high heel can be defined in a variety of ways, depending on its style. For example, according to Steve Madden’s “Glossary of Shoe Types, Materials, and Construction,” stilettos have higher, thinner heels with the heel itself tapering in width toward the ground, although kitten heels are about 1 to 2 inches in height. Wedges are also classified as a high heel, though the sole covers the entire foot rather than just supporting the heel.
There is more that goes into the footwear than just simply slipping on a pair.
TIP: Stretch your feet after wearing heels Dr. Jeff Russell, director of SHAPe Clinic
Dr. Jeff Russell is able to see the science behind the shoes. Russell is the director of Ohio University’s SHAPe (Science and Health in Artistic Performance) Clinic, working specifically with performing artists.
"Flats - Shoes that do not have any heel height"
He works with dancers who use pointe shoes, a type of ballet footwear with a flat toe, which dancers stand directly on. That position, called en pointe, is the “farthest, most extreme position (a ballerina) can be when she’s pointing her foot.”
Slightly less extreme are two positions called demi-pointe and three-quarter pointe, which are both similar to the position the foot is in while wearing high heels, specifically stilettos — it is not directly on the toes, but on the heads of the metatarsals, or toe bones.
Cidney Kelly / Photo Illustration
“Your entire weight is coming down through that foot, and it’s those metatarsals … that are taking much of that weight,” Russell said. “Over time, you can (develop) a stress fracture because you’re putting so much load on those foot bones, and the forces are transmitted up through the bones and (to) areas where (the bones) are weak.”
That position can cause the Achilles tendon to shorten, so Russell recommends stretching one’s feet after wearing heels so they do not remain that way permanently.
According to a study published by the University of Alabama at Birmingham in May 2015, more than 123,000 injuries related to wearing heels were treated across 100 emergency departments in the United States between 2002 and 2012 — with the highest affected age category being 20- to 29-year-olds.
Wearing heels makes it more difficult to balance, as the support surface is in a more peculiar shape than it would be in a pair of tennis shoes. The center of gravity also then is disrupted and “goes up and comes forward,” Russell said.
“Basically, your pelvis tips forward, and you have more lower back curvature than normal, and that can put a lot of stress on your lower back. It’s basically like walking downhill all the time,” Russell said. “So, if you think about walking downhill all the time, it can be very uncomfortable on your low back because you’re wanting to fall forward because you’re on a slope. … In order to keep yourself from falling forward, your body naturally responds by curving your lower back more to help stabilize you.”
And when it comes to actually going downhill — something that comes with the Athens terrain — Russell was pretty clear in his recommendations.
“Walking downhill in stiletto heels — that’s not a good plan,” Russell said. “You will wreck yourself.”
Russell said there should be an understanding of the science behind such extreme shoes, and he recommends paying attention to the pain caused by them, if it does occur.
"Kitten Heel - A low-heeled stiletto shoe, often between 1 and 2 inches in heel height"
“Your body has pain for a purpose,” Russell said. “It’s supposed to be a signal to you, and you’re supposed to listen to it. So, if something is a little uncomfortable because your shoes don’t fit right ... something that’s not a big problem — that’s one thing.
“But when you start having pain, that’s a signal you should listen to, and you need to do something about that and have yourself looked at by someone who understands the foot and the ankle and the injuries to it.”
TIP: Don't underestimate height Marissa Santiago-Meyers, sophomore studying English and Spanish
Marissa Santiago-Meyers, a sophomore studying English and Spanish, said she has avoided pain by having her family teach her how to walk in high heels, rather than putting on her first pair of pumps right before a school dance.
“I was taught how to walk in them from a … younger (age),” she said, adding that she owns about 40 pairs of heels. “You definitely have to build up in height. My mom was super strict on that when we were growing up. We couldn’t get super tall ones when we were, like, 14. She made us go through the steps in the inches.”
Holub learned how to walk properly in heels by attending modeling etiquette school.
"Mules - A shoe or sandal characterized by a closed, or nearly closed, toe and a backless heel of any height"
“We had to wear them eight hours a day,” she said.
Holub said that helped her learn how wear heels regularly. She wears heels now about three times a week.
"Flats - Shoes that do not have any heel height"
"Kitten Heel - A low-heeled stiletto shoe, often between 1 and 2 inches in heel height"
"Mules - A shoe or sandal characterized by a closed, or nearly closed, toe and a backless heel of any height"
"Wedge - A triangular, wedge-shaped heel that runs along the entire length of the foot"
"Stiletto -A very thin, very high heeled shoe, the heel of which tapers nearly to a point"
Definitions via Steve Madden Shoe Glossary
Erika Peyton, assistant director for employer relations and marketing at the Career and Leadership Development Center at OU, said she likes to wear heels because she feels it dresses up an outfit. According to an article from the National Law Review, however, businesses cannot demand women wear heels unless the same expectation is given to men under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. Under that, it is illegal to discriminate based on race, color, sex, religion or national origin.
When attending career fairs or interviews, the question may be whether or not to put on a pair of high heels to fit conservative, corporate standards. Peyton said dress codes all depend on the industry and type of company, but there is one thing for all applicants to keep in mind.
“What we recommend to students if they do chose to wear heels is it really should be something that you can comfortably walk in — they shouldn’t be a distraction,” Peyton said. “We always want the content of a student’s experience, the content of their character to be the focus, not the fact that they’re wearing heels that are an encumbrance.”
Finance and corporate law were two industries where Peyton said people generally dress “business professional,” which means suits are usually expected. But even in everyday dress outside of the office, heels are not the norm for most, and it has been that way since the '50s, said Trina Gannon, an adjunct instructor at OU with degrees in clothing and retail with a focus on history and anthropology.

Gannon said high heels started out as platform sandals, which royalty would wear. The shoes were intended to make the elite stand out, and throughout history, people would follow the standards set by royalty.
Gannon said although they might not be considered "high heels" in today's context, men's shoes — such as tennis shoes and dress shoes — even have added height.
“Women’s shoes became more of a focus of fashion during probably sometime in the late 1700s when women’s hemlines shortened a little bit,” Gannon said. “But when women’s hemlines lengthen, that’s when shoes become a little more plain, a little more dull.”

Heel height can also change in response to war and times of national conflict, such as the period following 9/11.
“In times of conflict, not only do women’s clothing become more subtle, but their shoe heel shortens,” Gannon said. “So, like in times of conflict, like in World War II, the heel was an average of 1 1/2- to 2-inches high. In the late ’90s, if you look at what was trending for women, it was stiletto high heels, the 4- or 5-inch heels; after 9/11, it went straight back down to 2-inch heels.”

The style today has transitioned back to higher heels and wedges. In Athens, specifically, business owners sell heels throughout the year. Marissa Whaley, store manager of Bluetique on West State Street, said the beginnings of Fall and Spring Semesters are when she most often sees people coming in to buy heels. The store’s most popular-selling heel depends on what is in style.
“Comfort is never really an option,” Whaley said of what customers want in a pair of heels. “It’s whatever looks cute with an outfit.”
April Almond, manager of The Other Place on Court Street, said the store tries not to stock particularly high heels. Lynsey Long, a sales associate at The Other Place, said the store sells a lot of TOMS wedges due to their comfort. Those can cost between $69 and $99 depending on the style.

Both Almond and Whaley said sorority recruitment during Fall Semester creates a higher demand for high heels. Lynne Francisco, owner and buyer for Figleaf on Court Street, said the college-aged demographic tends to be more geared toward trendy purchases.
Holub said she has experienced blisters when breaking in a new pair. However, Holub said when it comes to purchasing high heels, she buys higher-quality shoes, which she said makes the shoes more comfortable.
"Stiletto -A very thin, very high heeled shoe, the heel of which tapers nearly to a point"
Even with the pain and the injuries associated, though, people still purchase and wear heels.
“I think a lot of women in general wear heels because it makes them hold themselves in a different way,” Gannon said. “It’s like an alternate personality-type thing. You go out at night, you’re a different person than you are during the day.”
Gannon said she started wearing heels more frequently when she started teaching, living by the old adage that she should “dress for the job you want, not the job you have.”
Santiago-Meyers said people should wear what makes them feel the best. For her, that is a pair of heels.
“You get more confidence, I think,” Santiago-Meyers said. “It just makes you feel all put-together. … I always feel way more confident in a pair of heels. It changes your walk. It changes the way you stand.”
And for Holub, it can be as simple as others knowing that she is passing by.
“I like the sound,” Holub said. “I like being taller.”
