Demons and Slayers
General
Mechanic Notes
- Chance to failure stacks multiplicatively. If you have a 30% chance to fail
an action and another 50% chance to fail, then you have
0.3 + (0.5 * 0.7) = 0.65
65% chance of failure. Note order doesn't matter; 0.5 + (0.3 * 0.5) = 0.65
.
- Movement takes you from one zone to another adjacent zone. The map specifies
the time during the movement that is inside the first location and the time
during the movement that is inside the second location. Movements may not be
cancelled for any reason. The player is prevented from moving through impassable
locations, but if a location becomes impassable during a move the player
is immediately returned to his starting location and told why.
Gameplay Notes
Unless otherwise stated,
- All players may move between locations. Moving takes time (see map). Players
are alerted to movements through their location according to the light level.
- All players with vision on a location have a chance to see any actions
by players in that location, according to the light level.
- All abilities may be used once per cycle. Players with two abilities may
use both. Abilities act instantly unless they state otherwise.
- All players have Short Sleep: Sleep for 3 hours (11.25s at night, 16.875s
at day). Players do not receive messages while sleeping, may be tied up by a
single player, and do not defend attacks.
- All players have Long Sleep: Sleep for 6 hours (22.5s at night, 33.75s
at day). Players do not receive messages while sleeping, may be tied up by a
single player, and do not defend attacks.
- All demons give off a demonic trace in any location they enter, lasting one
cycle.
- All demons have the ability Prove Demon which proves they are a demon
to everyone in the location. Prove Demon does not have a cooldown.
- Some locations are consecrated. In these locations, demons:
- use Prove Demon at start of day, with 5% chance of failure, boosted by
by the Twin Witches Bless
- cannot voluntarily enter
- have a 20% chance of death at start of day
- have an 80% chance of failure for all actions
- Players may be tied up. When tied up, players have a 95% chance to fail all
actions unless freed. Tying up requires 1 hour (3.75s at night, 5.625s at day),
freeing is instant. Both require physical contact. Movement within zones is
instant once you arrive. It requires 3 players to tie up one other player.
Locations have a light level:
- Brightly lit (sunny, standard clouds, torches, lighting)
- Dimly lit (shadows) - 50% chance to detect other players
- Darkness (inside without lighting) - 10% chance to detect other players.
50% chance of failure for all actions.
Players have a sleep requirement. They must sleep at least 6 hours (20s at
night or 34s at day) per day or suffer one level of exhaustion. Exhaustion is
cleared after 6 hours of rest.
Exhaustion levels are:
- Tired: 30% chance of failure on all actions
- Fatigued: 50% chance of failure on all actions
- Exhausted: 80% chance of failure on all actions, 50% chance to rest for the
entire period at start at night and start of day.
There are up to 12 players per round, 5 demons, 5 slayers, and 2 neutral. There
are also at least 20 non-player characters with no specialty. It is expected
that players will attempt to disguise themselves as these NPCs.
Demons
Main Objective
Assemble the 8 bones of the powerful ancient demon Gonthu to resurrect him,
restarting his reign. If both Twin Witches die, the demons can still force
a draw by killing all non-demon players.
Must also prevent the humans from using Establish Protection.
Specialties
Succubus
A powerful demon that presents itself in female form, known for her beauty
and the magically enhanced lust when in her presence.
Day Abilities
- Allure: The target human can only hear your messages for 30 seconds
or until night (whichever comes sooner). 1 day cooldown. Cannot be used on the
same human on two consecutive days and requires physical contact. The target
cannot hurt you while allured. O
- Change Appearance: Assume the appearance and name of a non-player
character. Requires physical access.
Night Abilities
- Seduce: Prevents the target human from taking any action, and shares a
room with the target, leaving a demonic trace. Target must have been allured
during the day. The target human is told who the succubus is. Neither player
gets sleep during the night. Shares a cooldown with Change Appearance.
- Change Appearance: Assume the appearance and name of a non-player
character. Requires physical access. Shares a cooldown with Seduce.
Shapeshifter
A demon that is capable of transforming into various animals in order to serve
the demons.
Day Abilities
- Werecat: Listen in on the target players location without announcing
your presence. Requires physical access.
Night Abilities
- Werewolf: Using your sense of smell, search a target location for bones.
Requires physical access. Grants bones in the target location. Has a 50% chance
of not being detected by other players at that location, except for other
werewolfs. While a werewolf, has Darkness Master: Passive No penalties
from light levels.
Spectre
Day Abilities
- Sense: Detect if there are any humans in the target location, and sense
any humans that have traversed through the location on the day used.
Night Abilities
- Attack: Attack any players in the given location. If there are any demons
in the given location, the action fails and everyone in the location is told
who the Spectre is. Otherwise, the location is given a demonic trace and:
- If there are no humans, nothing else happens
- If there is 1 human:
- the Spectre gets an additional 3% chance to fail this action
- on failure, the human is told who the Spectre is
- on success, the human dies
- If there are 2 humans:
- the Spectre gets an additional 25% chance to fail this action
- on failure, the Spectre dies.
- on success, the humans die
- If there are 3+ humans:
- the Spectre gets an additional 25% chance to fail per human (multiplicative)
- on failure, the Spectre dies
- on success, each human has a 90% chance of death, otherwise being alerted
to who the Spectre is.
- Sense: Detect if there are any humans in the target location, and sense
any humans that have traversed through the location on the night used.
Beelzebub
A beelzebub is a false god or idolator, and typically acts as a decision maker
for the demons and spreads information.
Day Abilities
- Disguise: Passive Does not have a demonic trace. May enter consecrated
locations.
- Darkness Adept: Passive Can see in all rooms as if they were one
light level higher (no change for Brightly lit)
Night Abilities
- Disguise: Passive Does not have a demonic trace. May enter consecrated
locations.
- Command: Forces the target to make an action, if it is possible for the
player to do so. If the player cannot, the target is told Beelzebub's
specialization.
- Darkness Adept: Passive Can see in all rooms as if they were one
light level higher (no change for Brightly lit)
Moving Shadow
The moving shadow cannot move into the light; it is killed if in a location
that has a light level of Dimly lit or higher. It waits, haunting anyone that enters
its location. Automatic lighting does not work in locations with a Moving Shadow.
Upon approval of the Moving Shadow, dead demons may assist it by using the Haunt
command as if they were the moving shadow.
At worst, a moving shadow acts as another source of Curse and as a way to
communicate with the dead.  The
moving shadow strongly incentivizes meeting outdoors or in consecrated locations.
Day Abilities
- Haunt: Invade the conscious of the target player. Send
him a message as if they were from another player or from the system. Demons
are told that it is a moving shadow, allowing for targeted communication.
- Enhanced Haunt: Only usable on humans with Curse during the day. See
night ability for usage.
- Darkness Master: Passive No penalties from light levels
- Restless: Passive Is not affected by exhaustion.
- Commune: Passive Can speak with dead demons.
- Bringer of Darkness: Passive Automatic lighting does not work in
the Moving Shadows location.
Night Abilities
- Enhanced Haunt: Same as haunt, except that, for humans, all messages (from
anything other than moving shadows) are sent to the Moving Shadow instead of the
human, including day/night cycles. Also applies Curse (see Twin Witch) if
they do not already have it. Commands either have controls for overrides or
are not affected, to prevent them being used to detect a Moving Shadow. While a
moving shadow is able to use Enhanced Haunt on a human, the human is told the
room is Brightly Lit.
- Darkness Master: Passive No penalties from light levels
- Restless: Passive Is not affected by exhaustion.
- Commune: Passive Can speak with dead demons.
- Bringer of Darkness: Passive Automatic lighting does not work in
the Moving Shadows location.
Twin Witch
The twin witch is guaranteed and always starts in pairs, with knowledge of who
the other is. The twin witches are capable of resurrecting Gonthu when they have
all their bones and serve as a powerful offensive with Curse that is hard to
trace since it only requires a name. Additionally, Bless can serve as an
incredibly strong bluffing tool since it helps the target resist Prove Demon
from consecrated locations.
Day Abilities
- Resurrect: Requires a complete set of bones for Gonthu. Starts the reign
of Gonthu (requires 3 hours, 16.875s). Demons win if you do this.
- Curse: Curses the target human, giving them a 2% chance to die
on start of day, doubling each day. Shares a cooldown with Bless. Does not
require physical access. The target is alerted on the 5th day of a curse (next
day is 64% chance of death) or 50% of the time when entering consecrated
locations (with a maximum of one roll per cycle).
They also have the same chance of failure as the followings days death chance.
- Bless: Blesses the target demon. Starts with 0 uses available, shares
a cooldown with Curse. Requires physical access, and grants the target
demon 25% resistance to failure (subtractive; if they had a net chance of
failure of 65% they will have a net chance of failure of 90% after). A demon
may only blessed once, may target the twin witch.

- Infuse: The target bone of Gonthu is infused with power. Bones may only
be infused once per witch. For each infused bone, Curse starts one day later
and the witch is given one use of Bless. Both twin witches may infuse a bone,
gaining the effect separately.
Demogorgon
Acting as a defensive force, typically assigned to the twin witch, the
demogorgon is too strong to attack head on and provides essential escape
abilities to key demons. The demogorgon still has to sleep
Day Abilities
- Alert: Passive All attacks on the demogorgons location only attack
the demogorgon. Works even when sleeping.
- Strong: Passive All attacks on a demogorgon have an additional 25% chance
of failure per demon in the demogorgons location, including the demogorgon,
stacking multiplicatively. Does not work when sleeping.
- Teleport: Move the demogorgon and any demons in the same location to any Outskirts
location. Is not affected by the normal failure chance from being tied up.
Night Abilities
- Alert: Passive All attacks on the demogorgons location only attack
the demogorgon. Works even when sleeping.
- Strong: Passive All attacks on a demogorgon have an additional 25% chance
of failure per demon in the demogorgons location, including the demogorgon,
stacking multiplicatively. Does not work when sleeping.
- Teleport: Move the demogorgon and any demons in the same location to any Outskirts
location. Is not affected by the normal failure chance from being tied up.
- Sacrifice: The demogorgon gains Restless: Passive is not affected
by exhaustion. However, the demogorgon dies on the start of the 4th day following
this ability (including the next morning). Sacrifice can only be used once.
Cursed Soul
The cursed soul acts as an alternative method to the Shapeshifter for acquiring
bones. The cursed soul does not have the similiar detection reduction, but
Hustle can make him harder to catch.
Day Abilities
- Search: Search the target location for any bones of Gonthu. Requires
physical contact.
- Hustle: The next movement happens at double speed. If tied, breaks
free without the failure chance from tied up, but has an additional 50% chance
to fail.
Night Abilities
- Search: Search the target location for any bones of Gonthu. Requires
physical contact.
- Darkness Adept: Passive Can see in all rooms as if they were one light
level higher (no change for Brightly lit)

A Roundtable on Minority
Lawyers
"WE HAVE MET THE ENEMY,
AND HE IS US" Pogo
As more and more minority and
ethnic lawyers enter the mix, we are seeing more and more images
of such lawyers in popular culture. Movies and television have
for the most part failed to identify such lawyers (with the notable
exception of woman laywers) as marginalized, or apart from the
American mainstream. The notion that lawyers might carry remnants
of their ethnic or minority past with them was alien, just as
the notion that white male Anglo-American lawyers were considered
the norm was never articulated. As minorities in general became
more visible in popular culture so too did minority professionals:
physicians, nurses, teachers, dentists, politicians---and lawyers.
Thus began the examination
of the minority or ethnic lawyer as both a product of her culture
and a product of the law school and legal system. What did and
what do ethnic and minority lawyers bring to the practice and
interpretation of law? How are they perceived by the mainstream
popular culture? Do the traditional views of the legal system
(the law as game, for example) hold true in popular culture representations
of the minority and ethnic attorney? Has she been co-opted, is
she a mole within the legal system, working for justice, or is
she completely ineffectual?
In any case, in popular culture's
estimation is the lawyer herself ever truly an integrated member
of society, or are lawyers part of an "alien nation"?
Do legal language, legal training and legal ways of thinking
inevitably separate the lawyer from the lawyered? Are African
American lawyers alienated both by racial identify and by cultural
norms from the accepted "lawyerly mainstream"? Can
Native American lawyers ever reconcile white man's law practice
with the independent legal system of the reservation? Are non-Anglo-American,
non-white lawyers at a disadvantage when trying to reconcile
Western and non-Western notions of justice? Current television
shows that examine at least some of these issues with regard
to the non-white and/or non-male U.S. lawyer include Girlfriends,
Any Day Now, Soul Food, and the upcoming Queens
Supreme (slated for a PJ roundtable) and A.U.S.A.
This roundtable suggests that
more serious study is needed regarding some of the individual
and group representations of ethnic and minority lawyers. Counter-intuitively,
in pop culture they are legion and include Native American lawyers,
Hindu lawyers, African-American male and female lawyers, non-white
judges, and the truly alien lawyer, the attorney in science fiction.

A WCF question came up recently on StackOverflow about using a binding for a custom transport through configuration instead of code. My initial reply was that you needed all the right configuration classes associated with your binding so that you could register the right binding extensions for the usage.
The question from there evolved into something more specific: Once I’ve got my binding collection element created and registered as an extension, what if I want to use it on an endpoint by specifying only the binding and not a bindingConfiguration (like you can do with the standard bindings). In other words, do this:
<system.serviceModel>
<extensions>
<bindingExtensions>
<add name="myBinding"
type="MyNamespace.MyBindingCollectionElement, MyBinding" />
<services>
<service name="server">
<endpoint address="my://localhost:8484" binding="myBinding">
.serviceModel>
In theory this should just work, but it didn't for the original poster. I had a sample app set up for one of my custom WCF transport channels, and had tested it, so I knew something was amiss, but didn't notice it at first. That is, until the original poster uploaded a sample app and I could reproduce the problem.
The solution was simple, but unexpected: It turns out that WCF won't recognize your custom binding name unless you've got a
section in your configuration file. Mind you, it doesn't need for you to actually add a configuration for your custom binding there at all, just that an empty bindings section exists. In other words, just adding this would fix the problem:
<bindings/>

The Atlantic Current: Mapping the Virgins of Guadalupe and Remedios
Ubeda, Jaen, Andalucia
Verified
Photo via Flikr user Rafa Merelo Guervós. {:.caption} In 1381, a farmer named Juan Martínez discovered this image of the Virgin in Gavellar nearby Úbeda. Although he took her to Úbeda, she often reappeared in Gavellar, where her hermitage remains today.
The people of Úbeda made Guadalupe their patron in 1615. They process the Virgin into the city from her sanctuary on May 1 and place her in the Basílica de Santa María de los Reales Alcázares, where she remains until September 8.
The current image of Guadalupe is not original.  She was subsequently replaced with a copy that is still revered today.

In Pictures: The Beauty of Kolkata’s Heritage Sites
It’s UNESCO World Heritage Week
by TIRTHANKAR DASWorld Heritage Week is celebrated all over the world every year from November 19 to 25. In India various programs relating to the preservation of historical structures and saving its traditional heritage are initiated by school and college students. The idea is to make people aware of the importance of preserving our cultural heritage for future generations.
“To me, heritage is living testament to your cultural, emotional and historical identity. It holds your roots in terms of a race, a community or pure humanity. If we fail to preserve our roots, posterity will slowly lose its identity,” says Goutam Chakraborty, security adviser and heritage coordinator of the Kolkata Port Trust.
Have you visited these heritage sites in Calcutta?

Learning Puppet — Class Parameters
Begin
class echo_class ($to_echo = "default value") {
notify {"What are we echoing? ${to_echo}.":}
}
class {'echo_class':
to_echo => 'Custom value',
}
There’s something different about that variable.
Investigating vs. Asking For Help
Most classes have to do slightly different things on different systems. You already know some ways to do that — all of the modules you’ve written so far have switched their behaviors by looking up system facts. Let’s say that they “investigate:” they expect some information to be in a specific place (in the case of facts, a top-scope variable), and go looking for it when they need it.
But this isn’t always the best way to do it, and it starts to break down once you need to switch a module’s behavior on information that doesn’t map cleanly to system facts. Is this a database server? A local NTP server? A test node? A production node? These aren’t necessarily facts; usually, they’re decisions made by a human.
In these cases, it’s often best to just configure the class, and tell it what it needs to know when you declare it. To enable this, classes need some way to ask for information from the outside world.
Class Parameters
When defining a class, you can give it a list of parameters. Parameters go in an optional set of parentheses, between the name and the first curly brace. Each parameter is a variable name, and can have an optional default value; each parameter is separated from the next with a comma.
class mysql ($user = 'mysql', $port = 3306) {
...
}
This is a doorway for passing information into the class:
class {'mysql':
user => mysqlserver,
}
- If you declare the class with a resource-like class declaration, the parameters are available as resource attributes.
- Inside the definition of the class, they appear as local variables.
Default Values
When defining the class, you can give any parameter a default value. This makes it optional when you declare the class; if you don’t specify a value, it will use the default. Parameters without defaults become mandatory when declaring the class.
The Deal With Resource-Like Class Declarations
In Puppet Enterprise 2.x
In Puppet 2.7, which is used in the Puppet Enterprise 2.x series, you must use resource-like class declarations if you want to specify class parameters; you cannot specify parameters with include
or in the PE console. If every parameter has a default and you don’t need to override any of them, you can declare the class with include
; otherwise, you must use resource-like class declarations.
Resource-like declarations don’t play nicely with include
, and if you’re using them, you need to organize your manifests so that they never attempt to declare a class more than once. This has traditionally been a pain, but class parameters are still superior to older ways of configuring classes, and the best practices developed over the course of the Puppet 2.7 series have made them much easier to deal with.
The best way to deal with class parameters in the Puppet Enterprise 2.x series is to create “role” and “profile” modules that combine your functional classes into more complete node descriptions. Once you find yourself managing multiple nodes with Puppet, you should read Craig Dunn’s “Roles and Profiles” essay, which matches the best practices used by Puppet Labs’s services engineers.
To make your roles and profiles more flexible and avoid repeating yourself, you can also install and configure Hiera on your puppet master and specify Hiera lookup functions as the values of class parameters.
Why include
Can’t Directly Take Class Parameters
The problem is that classes are singletons, parameters configure the way they behave, and include
can declare the same class more than once.
If you were to declare a class multiple times with different parameter values, which set of values should win? The question didn’t seem to have a good answer. The older method of using magic variables actually had this same problem — depending on parse order, there could be several different scope-chains that provided a given value, and the one you actually got would be effectively random. Icky.
The solution Puppet’s designers settled on was that parameter values either had to be explicit and unconflicting (the restrictions on resource-like class declarations), or had to come from somewhere outside Puppet and be already resolved by the time Puppet’s parsing begins (Puppet 3’s automatic parameter lookup).
Older Ways to Configure Classes
Class parameters were added to Puppet in version 2.6.0, to address a need for a standard and visible way to configure clases.
Prior to that, people generally configured classes by choosing an arbitrary and unique external variable name and having the class retrieve that variable with dynamically-scoped variable lookup:
$some_variable
include some_class
# This class will reach outside its own scope, and hope
# it finds a value for $some_variable.
There were a few problems with this:
- Every class was competing for variable names in an effectively global name space. If you accidentally chose a non-unique name for your magic variables, something bad would happen.
- When writing modules to share with the world, you had to be very careful to document all of your magic variables; there wasn’t a standard place a user could look to see what data a class needed.
- This inspired many many people to try and make intricate data hierarchies with node inheritance, which rarely worked and had a tendency to fail dramatically and confusingly.
Example: NTP (Again)
So let’s get back to our NTP module. The first thing we talked about wanting to configure was the set of servers, so that’s a good place to start. First, add a parameter:
class ntp ($servers = undef) {
...
Next, we’ll change how we set that $servers_real
variable that the template uses:
if $servers == undef {
$servers_real = $default_servers
}
else {
$servers_real = $servers
}
If we specify an array of servers, use that; otherwise, use the defaults.
And… that’s all it takes. If you declare the class with no attributes…
include ntp
…it’ll work the same way it used to. If you declare it with a servers
attribute containing an array of servers (with or without appended iburst
and dynamic
statements)…
class {'ntp':
servers => [ "ntp1.example.com dynamic", "ntp2.example.com dynamic", ],
}
…it’ll override the default servers in the ntp.conf
file.
There’s a bit of trickery to notice: setting a variable or parameter to undef
might seem odd, and we’re only doing it because we want to be able to get the default servers without asking for them. (Remember, parameters can’t be optional without an explicit default value.)
Also, remember the business with the $servers_real
variable? That was because the Puppet language won’t let us re-assign the $servers
variable within a given scope. If the default value we wanted was the same regardless of OS, we could just use it as the parameter default, but the extra logic to accomodate the per-OS defaults means we have to make a copy of the variable.
While we’re in the NTP module, what else could we make into a parameter? Well, let’s say you sometimes wanted to prevent the NTP daemon from being used as a server by other nodes. Or maybe you want to install and configure NTP, but not keep the daemon running. You could expose all of these as extra class parameters, and make changes in the manifest or the templates to use them.
All of these changes are based on decisions from the free puppetlabs/ntp module. You can browse the source of this module and see how these extra parameters play out in the manifest and templates.
Module Documentation
You have a fairly functional NTP module, at this point. About the only thing it’s missing is some documentation:
# = Class: ntp
#
# This class installs/configures/manages NTP. It can optionally disable NTP
# on virtual machines. Only supported on Debian-derived and Red Hat-derived OSes.
#
# == Parameters:
#
# $servers:: An array of NTP servers, with or without +iburst+ and
# +dynamic+ statements appended. Defaults to the OS's defaults.
# $enable:: Whether to start the NTP service on boot. Defaults to true. Valid
# values: true and false.
# $ensure:: Whether to run the NTP service. Defaults to running. Valid values:
# running and stopped.
#
# == Requires:
#
# Nothing.
#
# == Sample Usage:
#
# class {'ntp':
# servers => [ "ntp1.example.com dynamic",
# "ntp2.example.com dynamic", ],
# }
# class {'ntp':
# enable => false,
# ensure => stopped,
# }
#
class ntp ($servers = undef, $enable = true, $ensure = running) {
case $operatingsystem { ...
...
This doesn’t have to be Tolstoy, but you should at least write down what the parameters are and what kind of data they take. Your future self will thank you. Also! If you write your documentation in RDoc format and put it in a comment block butted up directly against the start of the class definition, you can automatically generate a browsable Rdoc-style site with info for all your modules. You can test it now, actually:
# puppet doc --mode rdoc --outputdir ~/moduledocs --modulepath /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/modules
(Then just upload that ~/moduledocs
folder to some webspace you control, or grab it onto your desktop with SFTP.)
Next
Next Lesson:
Okay, we can pass parameters into classes now and change their behavior. Great! But classes are still always singletons; you can’t declare more than one copy and get two different sets of behavior simultaneously. And you’ll eventually want to do that! What if you had a collection of resources that created a virtual host definition for a web server, or cloned a Git repository, or managed a user account complete with group, SSH key, home directory contents, sudoers entry, and .bashrc/.vimrc/etc. files? What if you wanted more than one Git repo, user account, or vhost on a single machine?
Well, you’d whip up a defined resource type.


Asynchronous iteration allow us to iterate over data that comes asynchronously, on-demand. Like, for instance, when we download something chunk-by-chunk over a network. And asynchronous generators make it even more convenient.
Let’s see a simple example first, to grasp the syntax, and then review a real-life use case.
Let’s recall the topic about iterables.
The idea is that we have an object, such as range
here:
…And we’d like to use for..of
loop on it, such as for(value of range)
, to get values from 1
to 5
.
In other words, we want to add an iteration ability to the object.
That can be implemented using a special method with the name Symbol.iterator
:
for..of
construct when the loop is started, and it should return an object with the next
method.next()
method is invoked for the next value.next()
should return a value in the form {done: true/false, value:<loop value>}
, where done:true
means the end of the loop.Here’s an implementation for the iterable range
:
```js run let range = { from: 1, to: 5,
! Symbol.iterator { // called once, in the beginning of for..of /! return { current: this.from, last: this.to,
! next() { // called every iteration, to get the next value /! if (this.current <= this.last) { return { done: false, value: this.current++ }; } else { return { done: true }; } } }; } };
for(let value of range) { alert(value); // 1 then 2, then 3, then 4, then 5 } ```
If anything is unclear, please visit the chapter , it gives all the details about regular iterables.
Asynchronous iteration is needed when values come asynchronously: after setTimeout
or another kind of delay.
The most common case is that the object needs to make a network request to deliver the next value, we’ll see a real-life example of it a bit later.
To make an object iterable asynchronously:
Symbol.asyncIterator
instead of Symbol.iterator
.next()
method should return a promise (to be fulfilled with the next value).
async
keyword handles it, we can simply make async next()
.for await (let item of iterable)
loop.
await
word.As a starting example, let’s make an iterable range
object, similar like the one before, but now it will return values asynchronously, one per second.
All we need to do is to perform a few replacements in the code above:
```js run let range = { from: 1, to: 5,
! Symbol.asyncIterator { // (1) /! return { current: this.from, last: this.to,
! async next() { // (2) /!
! // note: we can use “await” inside the async next: await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 1000)); // (3) /!
if (this.current <= this.last) {
return { done: false, value: this.current++ };
} else {
return { done: true };
}
}
};
} };
(async () => {
! for await (let value of range) { // (4) alert(value); // 1,2,3,4,5 } /!
})() ```
As we can see, the structure is similar to regular iterators:
Symbol.asyncIterator
(1)
.next()
method returning a promise (2)
.next()
method doesn’t have to be async
, it may be a regular method returning a promise, but async
allows us to use await
, so that’s convenient. Here we just delay for a second (3)
.for await(let value of range)
(4)
, namely add “await” after “for”. It calls range[Symbol.asyncIterator]()
once, and then its next()
for values.Here’s a small table with the differences:
| Iterators | Async iterators | |
|---|---|---|
| Object method to provide iterator | Symbol.iterator |
Symbol.asyncIterator |
next() return value is |
any value | Promise |
| to loop, use | for..of |
for await..of |
```warn header="The spread syntax
…` doesn’t work asynchronously" Features that require regular, synchronous iterators, don’t work with asynchronous ones.
For instance, a spread syntax won’t work:
That’s natural, as it expects to find Symbol.iterator
, not Symbol.asyncIterator
.
It’s also the case for for..of
: the syntax without await
needs Symbol.iterator
. ````
Now let’s recall generators, as they allow to make iteration code much shorter. Most of the time, when we’d like to make an iterable, we’ll use generators.
For sheer simplicity, omitting some important stuff, they are “functions that generate (yield) values”. They are explained in detail in the chapter .
Generators are labelled with function*
(note the star) and use yield
to generate a value, then we can use for..of
to loop over them.
This example generates a sequence of values from start
to end
:
```js run function* generateSequence(start, end) { for (let i = start; i <= end; i++) { yield i; } }
for(let value of generateSequence(1, 5)) { alert(value); // 1, then 2, then 3, then 4, then 5 } ```
As we already know, to make an object iterable, we should add Symbol.iterator
to it.
let range = {
from: 1,
to: 5,
*!*
[Symbol.iterator]() {
return <object with next to make range iterable>
}
*/!*
}
A common practice for Symbol.iterator
is to return a generator, it makes the code shorter, as you can see:
```js run let range = { from: 1, to: 5,
Symbol.iterator { // a shorthand for [Symbol.iterator]: function() for(let value = this.from; value <= this.to; value++) { yield value; } } };
for(let value of range) { alert(value); // 1, then 2, then 3, then 4, then 5 } ```
Please see the chapter if you’d like more details.
In regular generators we can’t use await
. All values must come synchronously, as required by the for..of
construct.
What if we’d like to generate values asynchronously? From network requests, for instance.
Let’s switch to asynchronous generators to make it possible.
For most practical applications, when we’d like to make an object that asynchronously generates a sequence of values, we can use an asynchronous generator.
The syntax is simple: prepend function*
with async
. That makes the generator asynchronous.
And then use for await (...)
to iterate over it, like this:
```js run !async/! function* generateSequence(start, end) {
for (let i = start; i <= end; i++) {
! // Wow, can use await! await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 1000)); /!
yield i;
}
}
(async () => {
let generator = generateSequence(1, 5); for !await/! (let value of generator) { alert(value); // 1, then 2, then 3, then 4, then 5 (with delay between) }
})(); ```
As the generator is asynchronous, we can use await
inside it, rely on promises, perform network requests and so on.
````smart header=“Under-the-hood difference” Technically, if you’re an advanced reader who remembers the details about generators, there’s an internal difference.
For async generators, the generator.next()
method is asynchronous, it returns promises.
In a regular generator we’d use result = generator.next()
to get values. In an async generator, we should add await
, like this:
That’s why async generators work with for await...of
. ````
Regular generators can be used as Symbol.iterator
to make the iteration code shorter.
Similar to that, async generators can be used as Symbol.asyncIterator
to implement the asynchronous iteration.
For instance, we can make the range
object generate values asynchronously, once per second, by replacing synchronous Symbol.iterator
with asynchronous Symbol.asyncIterator
:
```js run let range = { from: 1, to: 5,
// this line is same as [Symbol.asyncIterator]: async function() { ! async Symbol.asyncIterator { /! for(let value = this.from; value <= this.to; value++) {
// make a pause between values, wait for something
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 1000));
yield value;
}
} };
(async () => {
for !await/! (let value of range) { alert(value); // 1, then 2, then 3, then 4, then 5 }
})(); ```
Now values come with a delay of 1 second between them.
Technically, we can add both `Symbol.iterator` and `Symbol.asyncIterator` to the object, so it's both synchronously (`for..of`) and asynchronously (`for await..of`) iterable.
In practice though, that would be a weird thing to do.
So far we’ve seen basic examples, to gain understanding. Now let’s review a real-life use case.
There are many online services that deliver paginated data. For instance, when we need a list of users, a request returns a pre-defined count (e.g. 100 users) - “one page”, and provides a URL to the next page.
This pattern is very common. It’s not about users, but just about anything.
For instance, GitHub allows us to retrieve commits in the same, paginated fashion:
fetch
in the form https://api.github.com/repos/<repo>/commits
.Link
header.For our code, we’d like to have a simpler way to get commits.
Let’s make a function fetchCommits(repo)
that gets commits for us, making requests whenever needed. And let it care about all pagination stuff. For us it’ll be a simple async iteration for await..of
.
So the usage will be like this:
Here’s such function, implemented as async generator:
async function* fetchCommits(repo) {
let url = `https://api.github.com/repos/${repo}/commits`;
while (url) {
const response = await fetch(url, { // (1)
headers: {'User-Agent': 'Our script'}, // github needs any user-agent header
});
const body = await response.json(); // (2) response is JSON (array of commits)
// (3) the URL of the next page is in the headers, extract it
let nextPage = response.headers.get('Link').match(/<(.*?)>; rel="next"/);
nextPage = nextPage?.[1];
url = nextPage;
for(let commit of body) { // (4) yield commits one by one, until the page ends
yield commit;
}
}
}
More explanations about how it works:
We use the browser fetch method to download the commits.
https://api.github.com/repos/<repo>/commits
, and the next page will be in the Link
header of the response.fetch
method allows us to supply authorization and other headers if needed – here GitHub requires User-Agent
.Link
header of the response. It has a special format, so we use a regular expression for that (we will learn this feature in Regular expressions).
https://api.github.com/repositories/93253246/commits?page=2
. It’s generated by GitHub itself.Then we yield the received commits one by one, and when they finish, the next while(url)
iteration will trigger, making one more request.
An example of use (shows commit authors in console):
```js run (async () => {
let count = 0;
for await (const commit of fetchCommits(‘javascript-tutorial/en.javascript.info’)) {
console.log(commit.author.login);
if (++count == 100) { // let's stop at 100 commits
break;
}
}
})(); ```
That’s just what we wanted.
The internal mechanics of paginated requests is invisible from the outside. For us it’s just an async generator that returns commits.
Regular iterators and generators work fine with the data that doesn’t take time to generate.
When we expect the data to come asynchronously, with delays, their async counterparts can be used, and for await..of
instead of for..of
.
Syntax differences between async and regular iterators:
| Iterable | Async Iterable | |
|---|---|---|
| Method to provide iterator | Symbol.iterator |
Symbol.asyncIterator |
next() return value is |
{value:…, done: true/false} |
Promise that resolves to {value:…, done: true/false} |
Syntax differences between async and regular generators:
| Generators | Async generators | |
|---|---|---|
| Declaration | function* |
async function* |
next() return value is |
{value:…, done: true/false} |
Promise that resolves to {value:…, done: true/false} |
In web-development we often meet streams of data, when it flows chunk-by-chunk. For instance, downloading or uploading a big file.
We can use async generators to process such data. It’s also noteworthy that in some environments, like in browsers, there’s also another API called Streams, that provides special interfaces to work with such streams, to transform the data and to pass it from one stream to another (e.g. download from one place and immediately send elsewhere).


Redcarpet 2 is written with sugar, spice and everything nice
======================================================
Redcarpet is Ruby library for Markdown processing that smells like butterflies and popcorn.
Redcarpet used to be a drop-in replacement for Redcloth. This is no longer the case since version 2 — it now has its own API, but retains the old name. Yes, that does mean that Redcarpet 2 is not backwards-compatible with the 1.X versions.
Redcarpet is powered by the Sundown library, which can be found at
https://www.github.com/tanoku/sundown
You might want to find out more about Sundown to see what makes this Ruby library so awesome.
This library is written by people
Redcarpet 2 has been rewritten from scratch by Vicent Martí (@tanoku). Why are you not following me on Twitter?
Redcarpet would not be possible without the Sundown library and its authors (Natacha Porté, Vicent Martí, and its many awesome contributors).
You can totally install it as a Gem
Redcarpet is readily available as a Ruby gem. It will build some native extensions, but the parser is standalone and requires no installed libraries.
$ [sudo] gem install redcarpet
The Redcarpet source (including Sundown as a submodule) is available at GitHub:
$ git clone git://github.com/tanoku/redcarpet.git
And it’s like really simple to use
The core of the Redcarpet library is the `Redcarpet::Markdown` class. Each instance of the class is attached to a `Renderer` object; the Markdown class performs parsing of a document and uses the attached renderer to generate output.
The `Markdown` object is encouraged to be instantiated once with the required settings, and reused between parses.
Markdown.new(renderer, extensions={}) Initializes a Markdown parser renderer - a renderer object, inheriting from Redcarpet::Render::Base. If the given object has not been instantiated, the library will do it with default arguments. extensions - a hash containing the Markdown extensions which the parser will identify. The following extensions are accepted: :no_intra_emphasis - do not parse emphasis inside of words. Strings such as `foo_bar_baz` will not generate `<em>` tags. :tables - parse tables, PHP-Markdown style :fenced_code_blocks - parse fenced code blocks, PHP-Markdown style. Blocks delimited with 3 or more `~` or backticks will be considered as code, without the need to be indented. An optional language name may be added at the end of the opening fence for the code block :autolink - parse links even when they are not enclosed in `<>` characters. Autolinks for the http, https and ftp protocols will be automatically detected. Email addresses are also handled, and http links without protocol, but starting with `www.` :strikethrough - parse strikethrough, PHP-Markdown style Two `~` characters mark the start of a strikethrough, e.g. `this is ~~good~~ bad` :lax_html_blocks - HTML blocks do not require to be surrounded by an empty line as in the Markdown standard. :space_after_headers - A space is always required between the hash at the beginning of a header and its name, e.g. `#this is my header` would not be a valid header. :superscript - parse superscripts after the `^` character; contiguous superscripts are nested together, and complex values can be enclosed in parenthesis, e.g. `this is the 2^(nd) time` Example: markdown = Redcarpet::Markdown.new(Redcarpet::Render::HTML, :autolink => true, :space_after_headers => true)
Rendering with the `Markdown` object is done through `Markdown#render`. Unlike in the RedCloth API, the text to render is passed as an argument and not stored inside the `Markdown` instance, to encourage reusability.
Markdown.render(text) Render a Markdown document with the attached renderer text - a Markdown document Example: markdown.render("This is *bongos*, indeed.") #=> "
This is bongos, indeed
"
Darling, I packed you a couple renderers for lunch
Redcarpet comes with two built-in renderers, `Redcarpet::Render::HTML` and `Redcarpet::Render::XHTML`, which output HTML and XHTML, respectively. These renderers are actually implemented in C, and hence offer a brilliant performance, several degrees of magnitude faster than other Ruby Markdown solutions.
All the rendering flags that previously applied only to HTML output have now been moved to the `Render::HTML` class, and may be enabled when instantiating the renderer:
Render::HTML.new(render_options={}) Initializes an HTML renderer. The following flags are available: :filter_html - do not allow any user-inputted HTML in the output :no_images - do not generate any `<img>` tags :no_links - do not generate any `<a>` tags :no_styles - do not generate any `<style>` tags :safe_links_only - only generate links for protocols which are considered safe :with_toc_data - add HTML anchors to each header in the output HTML, to allow linking to each section. :hard_wrap - insert HTML `<br>` tags inside on paragraphs where the origin Markdown document had newlines (by default, Markdown ignores these newlines). :xhtml - output XHTML-conformant tags. This option is always enabled in the `Render::XHTML` renderer. Example: rndr = Redcarpet::Render::HTML.new(:no_links => true, :hard_wrap => true)
The `HTML` renderer has an alternate version, `Redcarpet::Render::HTML_TOC`, which will output a table of contents in HTML based on the headers of the Markdown document.
Furthermore, the abstract base class `Redcarpet::Render::Base` can be used to write a custom renderer purely in Ruby, or extending an existing renderer. See the following section for more information.
And you can even cook your own
Custom renderers are created by inheriting from an existing renderer. The built-in renderers, `HTML` and `XHTML` may be extended as such:
~~~~~ ruby # create a custom renderer that allows highlighting of code blocks class HTMLwithAlbino < Redcarpet::Render::HTML
def block_code(code, language) Albino.safe_colorize(code, language) end
end
markdown = Redcarpet::Markdown.new(HTMLwithAlbino, :fenced_code_blocks => true) ~~~~~
But new renderers can also be created from scratch (see `lib/render_man.rb` for an example implementation of a Manpage renderer)
~~~~~~ ruby class ManPage < Redcarpet::Render::Base
# you get the drill -- keep going from here
end ~~~~~

Also, now our Pants are much smarter
Redcarpet 2 comes with a standalone [SmartyPants]( daringfireball.net/projects/smartypants/) implementation. It is fully compliant with the original implementation. It is the fastest SmartyPants parser there is, with a difference of several orders of magnitude.
The SmartyPants parser can be found in `Redcarpet::Render::SmartyPants`. It has been implemented as a module, so it can be used standalone or as a mixin.
When mixed with a Renderer class, it will override the `postprocess` method to perform SmartyPants replacements once the rendering is complete
~~~~ ruby # Mixin class HTMLWithPants < Redcarpet::Render::HTML
include Redcarpet::Render::SmartyPants
end
# Standalone Redcarpet::Render::SmartyPants.render(“
Oh SmartyPants, you’re so crazy...
”) ~~~~~
SmartyPants works on top of already-rendered HTML, and will ignore
replacements inside the content of HTML tags and inside specific HTML
blocks such as `` or `
`.
What? You really want to mix Markdown renderers?
 Markdown is already ill-specified enough; if you create software that is renderer-independent, the results will be completely unreliable!
Each renderer has its own API and its own set of extensions: you should choose one (it doesn’t have to be Redcarpet, though that would be great!), write your software accordingly, and force your users to install it. That’s the only way to have reliable and predictable Markdown output on your program.
Still, if major forces (let’s say, tornadoes or other natural disasters) force you to keep a Markdown-compatibility later, Redcarpet also supports this:
require 'redcarpet/compat'
Requiring the compatibility library will declare a `Markdown` class with the classical RedCloth API, e.g.
Markdown.new('this is my text').to_html
This class renders 100% standards compliant Markdown with 0 extensions. Nada. Don’t even try to enable extensions with a compatibility layer, because that’s a maintance nightmare and won’t work.
On a related topic: if your Markdown gem has a `lib/markdown.rb` file that monkeypatches the Markdown class, you’re a terrible human being. Just saying.

My AR identifies itself as a single shot 22lr so it should be ok.

 Usually volume picks up once they start pumping. Have noticed that over last couple of months. Usually over th span of a few days it hits 150 to 200 BTC, then it starts dropping. Made quite a bit over the last few months following that pattern\

POINT BREAK A film review by Frank Maloney Copyright 1991 Frank Maloney
POINT BREAK is a movie by Kathryn Bigelow. The script is by W. Peter Iliff. It stars Patrick Swayze, Keanu Reeves, Gary Busey, and Lori Petty.
If I were one of those professional, cynical, go-for-the-joke critics, I would suggest retitling POINT BREAK "Beach Blanket Burglary." Instead, I'm going to say that this is an acceptable summer movie with some good action photography of the ENDLESS SUMMER school, a nutty, preposterous story -- excessive, fun, but a little too long. And it has some interesting people in the cast.
The directory Kathryn Bigelow, who previously directed BLUE STEEL, has turned out a slightly schizoid movie that's rather funny in the first part and hyperviolent in the second part. The script is a joke about surfers financing their "endless summer" by donning rubber masks, doing Tricky Dick imitations, and robbing 30 banks in 4 years, and about two FBI agents, the burnt-out vet (Gary Busey) and the new hot-shot (Keanu Reeves) who track them down. Cinematography is by Donald Peterman, who gives us some great zoom-lens work on mountainous surf and who also gives a truly impressive sky-diving sequence. Unfortunately, Bigelow lets the movie run down at the end and gets pretty sloppy about continuity. She also use an Oregon coast locale as a budget-saving stand-in for Australia. I spotted it instantly and anyone who knows either place will too.
She does get a funny performance out of Swayze, who is not the star of this movie, despite his top billing. Reeves carries it, as best he can. I think the jury is still out on this particular Brat Packer. Swayze plays the leader of the Ex-Presidents Gang, a pseudo-mystical guru of b.s. who justifies his violence, felonies, and betrayals as inspiring all us "dead souls inching along the freeways in their metal coffins." It was good to see Swayze in a negative role. Swayze did a lot of his own stunts--at least the easy parts that required only a beginner's skills--but that is him on the board and him going out the plane door. He's a gutsy guy, and I will admit to a sneaking admiration for him. (But then, I liked ROAD HOUSE.)
Gary Busey does a good turn as the alternately time-serving hack and obsessed pro; he is wigged-out and screwy. Busey is a lot of fun to have in any movie.
And then there's the fresh surprise, Lori Petty, who plays the surfer who first teaches Reeves and then sleeps with him. I liked this woman a lot. She has presence and a distinctive voice; she's small and pretty in a perky, independent way.  I hope to see her again.
(Anybody who knows neat stuff about Petty, write me. I'm interested (no, not in that way, silly).)
There're a lot of f-words, a lot of splashy violence, no nudity (except in one very violent FBI raid, where is there is women in a shower and another in a thong), no sex as such, a lot of action, some humor. You might like to take this one in, but pay matinee rates only. It is not worth full fare. Or wait for the video and relive the summer next winter.
(Rated R for excessive violence and strong language.) -- Frank Richard Aloysius Jude Maloney .

Form validation works in simple 2 steps
To make a filed required simply add val-type="text" attribute to your html
for different type of form element we have differnt val-types as follows...
| Element Type | Val-Type |
|---|---|
|
input [type=text,email,date,number] textarea |
val-type="text" |
| input [type=file] | val-type="file" |
| input [type=radio] | val-type="radio" |
| input [type=checkbox] | val-type="check" |
| select | val-type="select" |
To display error we need to add a < span class="help-block" >
If the span block is not sibling of the element we want to validate then we need to add an additional attribute with-parent="yes"
For Regualr Expression, you simply need to add one more additional attribute regex="email"
and in verifyInput($input, $type){...} you need to specify email regex as shown below
Give Id to your form and the submit button
Once you are done, you just need to call the formValidator

BATMAN A film review by Craig Good Copyright 1989 Craig Good
I haven't had this kind of fun at a movie since RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK It's not that BATMAN is anything like that film, but my emotional reaction was similar.  The crowd and I ate it up.
Tim Burton gets a lot of credit for the outstanding design work, and also for staying in control of his players. A project of this size has buried many a good man, and just ending up alive, let alone triumphant, is a worthy accomplishment. Burton doesn't talk down to the audience or spoon- feed plot points to us. My faith in animators as directors is stronger than it's ever been.
The look of BATMAN is pure eye candy. This is some of the best art direction I've ever seen. It's on par with that of BRAZIL and BLADE RUNNER. Shot after shot I found myself opening my eyes wide, just trying to drink it all in. Books are stories told with words, and movies are stories told with pictures. The pictures in this movie are poetry.
Michael Keaton, in whom I had doubts, was dead on target as Bruce Wayne. The risk Burton took with this controversial bit of casting paid off in spades. I actually bought Wayne as a playboy millionaire -- with some very serious emotional problems bubbling below the surface. The emotional scars of the event that warped young Bruce are clearly present even before the details are revealed in the film. (Comic book readers know what that event is already).
As Batman, Wayne doesn't so much take on another personality as he buries his own. He becomes almost more machine than man, as I could reasonably expect from someone who felt compelled to put on a costume to fight crime. Batman isn't so much a good guy as he is an anti-bad guy. Revenge, of the calculated sort, is clearly one of his major motivators. Another motivator is style. I think one of the keys to the Batman character's success is that we all secretly wish we could do what he does. Who wouldn't want to fight evil using awesome, intimidating aesthetics and superior technology as weapons? Face it. Being Batman could be way cool.
Jack Nicholson triumphs as the other side of the same coin: The Joker. He manages to do three things which I might have thought mutually exclusive, any one of which is difficult for even good actors to achieve. First, he is right out on the edge without losing control. Compared to The Joker, his character in THE SHINING was a calm, trustworthy and compassionate soul. Second, he is genuinely funny. He not only gets all the best lines, he makes jokes with his body language. Third, and particularly impressive in combination with number two, he is viciously, maliciously, deeply evil. I mean that given the choice between spending time with The Joker and hanging out with Frank Booth (BLUE VELVET) I'd be at Frank's place with bells on.
One of the happiest accidents to befall the production was Sean Young's broken leg. I think Kim Basinger did a much better job than Young would have as Vicki Vale. I'm very much enjoying the current trend away from dumb women in movies. Vale is, of course, a mere mortal (there is, after all, room for only one super hero in this movie) but an intelligent one. She may need rescuing now and then, but she's quite capable of helping. While slightly bothered at first by her relationship with Bruce Wayne, I came to realize how important it was to knowing Bruce's character and providing a window into his emotions. It also never hurts to have someone to rescue. I think a key to Batman can be found by paying attention to who else he rescues in the film.
I must also single out the editor for some praise. The pace is taut, shocking or flowing depending on what is needed. Some of the scene transitions are a real gas. In spite of Prince's somewhat disappointing songs, which are fortunately only a tiny part of the movie, the music is satisfying and supportive of the action. In typical Tim Burton fashion, some off-the-wall music adds spice to a few key sequences. One of The Joker's henchmen carries around a boom box which plays everything from Prince to an elevator arrangement of "Beautiful Dreamer."
The Batmobile and Batplane, which are mercifully never called such in the film, are stunning. Burton has a talent for mixing the right amount of cartoon physics into his live action, and he applies it well to both the vehicles and other key shots. The sense of motion in BATMAN is clearly born of animation, and that's a very good thing.
I know they were nervous, but I've got to hand it to the execs at Warner Brothers for even allowing this film to get made. It is not the sort of thing one expects from Hollywood these days. I can only dream of the day when Terry Gilliam gets the kind of support Tim Burton has managed to muster. The studio bigwigs can relax now. BATMAN is going to be pulling down the bucks by the bucket. See it soon. See it with a big crowd.

STUNNER OR BUMMER: Nora Fatehi, Janhvi Kapoor, Malaika Arora, Nushrat Bharucha Or Genelia Dsouza?
by Prajakta AjgaonkarHere are the ladies who kept the fashion meter high in the city and those who turned out to be not so stylish
Nushrat Bharucha, Nora Fatehi and Genelia Dsouza were snapped at the success bash of Marjaavaan at a popular hotspot in Mumbai last night. Malaika Arora was spotted post her workout session this afternoon. Janhvi Kapoor was also papped post her pilates class today. Now, let’s have a look at the stunners and bummers for the day:
NORA FATEHI-BUMMER- Nora fails to impress us with her satin blue wrap-dress.

MALAIKA ARORA-STUNNER- Malaika is a babe in a grey sports bra and hot pants.
NUSHRAT BHARUCHA- STUNNER- Nushrat looks smoking hot in a black one-shoulder dress which has a thigh-high slit.
GENELIA DSOUZA-BUMMER- Genelia’s draped dress is too confusing to say the least!

One of the features that we can leverage, when we are working with Kubernetes is the ConfigMap. This is used to store the non-confidential information required by the pods. Do remember that, It is not suggested to store the confidential or secret information in the ConfigMaps. Let us see how to create a configmap using both imperative way and with the yaml file.
Go handles concurrency in a slightly different way than the other programming languages. The effective Go has a slogan around their new concept "Do not communicate by sharing memory; instead, share memory by communicating". These Go routines are unique and they are not operating system threads. It is a function executing concurrently with other goroutines in the same address space.
There are multiple resources for the Kubernetes `kubectl` command line reference. It is very good practice to learn the usage of all those commands. But, here I would like to share the most day to day commands that we use on the terminal to take care of our daily development and debugging activities with respect to Kubernetes.

A look at Menlyn Maine’s new luxury apartments – starting at R1.6 million
by Staff WriterMenlyn Maine’s new R1.15 billion residential development, the Trilogy Collection, will soon launch its second phase which will add 157 luxury apartments to the market.
The first phase of the development is nearing completion, with a total of 374 units expected to transfer to new owners in November and occupation expected on 1 December 2019.
Phase 2 is scheduled for completion in early 2021 and will comprise 157 apartments. The full development will have a total of 531 apartments when completed.
According to Retha Schutte, Pretoria regional executive for Pam Golding Properties, the demand for the apartments in the region is so high that apartment prices have risen by as much as 20% since the development was launched in 2016.
Of the 157 units in Phase 2, 21 comprise of the sold-out Platinum Collection. In addition, there is a double storey presidential suite measuring 574 sqm.
“This suite also offers a studio unit for staff accommodation, home cinema, climate controlled custom wine cellar, north facing terrace, private sun deck and swimming pool, two lounges and green spaces among other features.
“This presidential suite, the only one-of-its-kind in the development was sold for R20.5 million,” the group said.
Pam Golding said there are only a few spacious studio, one bedrooms and two bedroom apartments remaining in Phase 2 with prices ranging from R1.6 million for a studio apartment, to R2.2 million for a one bedroom unit, and R4.8 million for a two bedroom unit.
Trilogy Collection was developed by Catchu Trading with GLH Architects and renowned South African architect, Henk Boogertman as advisor.
The development features lifestyle amenities, including a 4,000 sqm park with designer sculptures, viewing decks, walking trails, water features and recreational facilities, a private rooftop swimming pool and a garden terrace complete with a sunset bar, as well as concierge reception, secure parking, private meeting rooms, staff rooms and store rooms.
There will also be dedicated cycling lanes throughout, and a number of lock-up facilities for bicycles.

Chatbots!
a computer program designed to simulate conversation with human users
"Bots are the new apps," declared Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella in 2016
They are all the rage, but why?
- Investments from Kik, Facebook Messenger, Microsoft, Amazon
- Plain tired of downloading apps
- People live in chats (within messenger apps)
- Access within SMS/txt, Skype, WeChat, Slack, Line, Telegram, Twitter
- Advancements in key NLP and AI tech so that even non-programmers might be able to create simple but useful chatbots
Amazon Lex
- Platform launched to all users - April 20th, 2017
- Service for building conversational interfaces into any application using voice and text.
- Same deep learning technologies that power Amazon Alexa
- Pre-trained models on massive amounts of data and infrastructure
- Bots can be published to messaging platforms like Facebook Messenger, Slack, and Twilio SMS
Validation and External Service Integration - Amazon Lambda
- Lets you run code without provisioning or managing servers
- Set up your code to automatically trigger from other AWS services or call it directly from any web or mobile app
Terminology
- Intents - An intent represents an action that the user wants to perform. eg: "I want to order a pizza"
- Slots- To fulfill an intent, the Amazon Lex bot needs information from the user. eg: the OrderPizza intent requires slots such as pizza size, crust type, and number of pizzas.
Lex API Response Fields
- sessionAttributes - if you want to include any session attributes in the response
- Close- Informs Amazon Lex not to expect a response from the user.
- Delegate- Directs Amazon Lex to choose the next course of action based on the bot configuration.
- ElictSlot— Informs Amazon Lex that the user is expected to provide a slot value in the response.

This was the second Data Visualization project I did for my Elements of Data Visualization computer science course.  This dataset was referenced in a September 1998 article written by Craig Olson in the Journal of Applied Econometrics. The data was used to determine the validity of the hypothesis that wives who do not have health insurance through their husband’s employer are more likely to work full-time to get health insurance than wives who are covered by their husband’s health insurance. I worked collaboratively on this project with my partner, Chenchao Zhang.
The boxplots in Plot 1 reveal an interesting trend: the higher the wife's education level is, the higher the husband's income is. Plot 2 shows that husbands in the top 10 percent of work experience (greater than 40 years) are almost 6 times as likely to have health insurance than husbands who are in the bottom 10 percent of work experience (less than ten years). Plot 3 reveals a trend that even when a husband does not have health insurance, the wife will work less hours per week as the family has more children.
