Park Jong-Su's jaw dropped to the floor . He was so shocked that he needed some time to process the event his own two eyes had witnessed just now
'How could it kill the Arch Lich in one hit?!'.
There was an event that catapulted the Arch Lich as a pretty infamous creature among the boss-level monsters . And that would be the incident of the Gold Dragon Guild's annihilation
An entire Guild was completely destroyed by a single Arch Lich . Not just any Guild either, but one that was supposed to be quite powerful even within China, no less . But then again, that might have been an obvious result
The Arch Lich could continuously summon out 'Death Knights' any time it wanted to . And one Death Knight was a very powerful undead-type monster that required the bitter struggle of multiple rank A Hunters to defeat
If you underestimated the boss monster simply because it didn't have any guards around it initially, then you'd not be able to escape the fate of total destruction
In the end, a dungeon break occurred from the Gate the Gold Dragon Guild failed to close . China's own Special Authority-rank Hunter Liu Zhigeng arrived in the nick of time so the incident didn't turn into a catastrophe, but still, many Hunters got to know the terror an Arch Lich posed through this incident
'But now . '.
That mutated ant summon killed the Arch Lich in one hit . What an astonishing event that was
Maybe it wasn't only Park Jong-Su who thought like this, because Jeong Yun-Tae standing next to him also couldn't seem to close his slack jaw at all
"Oh, my god . ".
As if he couldn't believe his own eyes, he asked Park Jong-Su for another confirmation
"Hyung-nim, wasn't that an Arch Lich?".
"Yeah, it was . The thing that came out of the Gate during that Gold Dragon Guild incident . ".
"If that's true, then that ant just one-shotted an Arch Lich ?".
Jeong Yun-Tae now formed a completely disbelieving expression . Other Hunters also heard the conversation taking place between Park Jong-Su and Jeong Yun-Tae, and failed to hide their extreme shock as well
"An Arch Lich?!".
"That thing was an Arch Lich??".
"And the ant took it down in one hit??".
"Whoa . ".
Just as the entirety of the Knight Order Guild's assault team was being astonished by Jin-Woo's 'summon' that could kill the boss of a rank A dungeon in the blink of an eye .
The multi-talented healer Jeong Ye-Rim, currently sweating profusely while trying to hold back the tide of the undead monsters, was dying of curiosity regarding what happened behind her back
"What was that? What happened??".
However, her curiosity couldn't be maintained for long . Something quite surprising started happening right in front of her eyes, that was why
"Uh??".
All those undead monsters, rampaging around as if they were only a moment away from breaking past the 'Holy Wall', suddenly collapsed on the ground like puppets with their strings cut
Plop
Plop
And then, they didn't stand back up again
"C-Chairman??".
Jeong Ye-Rim was startled by this sudden turn of event and hurriedly looked behind her . Park Jong-Su was nodding his head
'The Arch Lich must've had something to do with the defeated undead monsters reviving in full . '.
He really did feel utterly dazed and lost at the sight of the crazed horde of the monsters rushing in like a black tidal wave, wondering what would happen to him and his group, but now
It felt like he could breathe easy again
"Fuu ".
Behind Park Jong-Su busy sighing out in relief, the Hunters standing there failed to hide their elated expressions . They were all excited at the idea of exiting from this dungeon safe and sound
"Hyung-nim, you worked hard . ".
"What do you mean, I worked hard . It's those guys that worked hard, not me . ".
Park Jong-Su used his chin to point and Jeong Yun-Tae looked behind him . The summons were all standing still unmoving and staring at the human Hunters as if to ask 'Where are we going next?'.
'Well, uh, them standing around like that and not budging makes them look a wee bit cuter . '.
However, one of the ants must've felt bored, because, for no apparent reason, it loudly screeched towards the ceiling
"Kkkkiieeeehhhk-!!".
Just like that, Jeong Yun-Tae's expression that contained a hint of favourable impression towards the creatures flew away in an instant
Swish
Jeong Yun-Tae swivelled his head back and asked his boss
"Hyung-nim . Isn't this the same as Seong Jin-Woo Hunter-nim solo clearing this dungeon?".
"Yup, more or less . ".
Park Jong-Su also agreed with that assessment . In the deeper parts of the dungeon, where the difficulty was at its highest, the Knight Order Guild's assault team did nothing but just followed around the ant monsters
And those ants were Hunter Seong Jin-Woo's summoned creatures . In the end, it was the same thing as Jin-Woo clearing the dungeon all by himself, just as Jeong Yun-Tae had alluded to
'What a scary power '.
They had seen the extent of his power in Jeju Island, but having witnessed it for real, they had to concede the fact that he possessed an incredible ability
The fact that the summoned creatures were capable of displaying levels of combat prowess easily exceeding their imagination, and the fact that Seong Hunter was able to freely control these summons, left a deep mental shock in the Knight Order's Hunters
"Which means, Seong Jin-Woo Hunter-nim doesn't even need to enter a Gate and still gets to clear it by just sending these guys in, no?".
Jeong Yun-Tae spoke without thinking too much about what he was saying . However, Park Jong-Su felt goosebumps break out all over his skin after he thought about what his deputy just mentioned in passing
'Hold up '.
The number of summons Hunter Seong brought out back in Jeju Island was at least over two hundred . That was only from those that got caught on camera . So, it was difficult to even estimate how many more he could actually summon out at once
What if he didn't even need to make a single move, but simply send out his summons to clear out dungeons ?.
'There must be some exhaustion of magic energy when summoning out and controlling these creatures, so he might not be able to use them all at the same time, but '.
Just half of his summons
No, even if that guy could only utilise half of that half, his method would be so much more efficient than what other large Guilds could even come up with
'Urgh . '.
Park Jong-Su suddenly realised that he'd have invested his entire life savings if Hunter Seong's Guild was a publicly-traded company
"Hyung-nim, let's not waste more time and push ahead with merging our Guild with Seong Hunter-nim's Guild . ".
"This guy, really now . ".
Park Jong-Su glared scarily at Jeong Yun-Tae, before his expression became a lot more serious
"Refer to it as 'M&A', okay? M&A . The new Guild created by the best Hunter, and one of the five major Guilds in the country, the Knight Order, pushing forward for the M&A . How nice sounding is that?" (TL: M&A = mergers and acquisitions).
"Keok??".
Jeong Yun-Tae flinched grandly
"You really wanna try your luck with that, hyung-nim?!".
"Think about it . Combine Seong Hunter-nim's abilities with our Guild's know-how – even the likes of the Hunters Guild should be terrified by our potential, man!".
Would Vice-Chairwoman Cha Hae-In leave the Hunters Guild and join hands with Hunter Seong for no reason? Of course not
Elation bubbled up in Jeong Yun-Tae's face as he nodded, but then, he began rubbing his chin and tilted his head
"But then, hyung-nim . You honestly believe that Seong Hunter-nim needs us?".
"Tsk, tsk . ".
Park Jong-Su tutted and explained in detail
"Do you really think that Seong Jin-Woo Hunter-nim will be able to disregard the law if he wants to work?".
"Excuse me?".
"Even if it's possible for his summons to clear dungeons, he still needs to fill up the minimum headcount for the raid team, no?".
"Ohh ".
Hearing that plausible explanation, Jeong Yun-Tae's expression brightened up once more
"You're right, hyung-nim . ".
As the two men stared at each other with happy smiles on their faces, the ground beneath their feet trembled ever so softly
Rumble .
"Aigoo . ".
Park Jong-Su stopped wasting time . With the death of the boss-level monster, the Gate was starting to close up
"Well, let's carry on our discussion after we get out of here first . ".
"Yes, hyung-nim . ".
Park Jong-Su loudly called out to the rest of the assault team still waiting for his orders
"Everyone, let's all get out of this place before the Gate closes down!".
***.
"You'll provide all the convenience you can?".
"Yes, that's correct . ".
Jin-Woo's question was met with Association President Goh Gun-Hui's assured answer
Officially, there were ten rank S Hunters recorded in the Korean Hunter's Association's database . But, they had lost three now . Two died at the hands of monsters, while one abandoned Korea for America
From the perspective of the Hunter's Association, they could not afford to be hands-off in this matter anymore
They wanted to do everything they could – this wasn't just the opinion of Association President Goh Gun-Hui, but the rest of the Association as well
'Unless it's the other rank S Hunters . '.
They definitely could not afford to let Hunter Seong Jin-Woo slip away
Goh Gun-Hui's eyes gleamed with the light of determination . As the representative of the Hunter's Association, he had met countless Hunters over the years . Several of them were those whom you'd qualify as some of the strongest in the world, as well
However, Seong Jin-Woo was the first Hunter ever to make his heart race this madly . Not just as the Association President, but as the citizen of this nation, he definitely wanted Jin-Woo to remain in South Korea
["We will provide you with every convenience we can possibly provide . "].
Those words expressed the Association President Goh Gun-Hui's strong will to keep Jin-Woo in the country . They also contained how highly the older man thought of the young Hunter, as well
"If that's the case ".
Jin-Woo thought for a little while, before opening his mouth
"Will you let me enter high-ranking Gates all by myself in the future?".
"Pardon me?".
When he was faced with a completely unexpected demand, Goh Gun-Hui's eyes opened up wide
"Are you asking me to exclude you from the minimum headcount rule?".
Jin-Woo nodded his head
"Huh-uh ".
The regulation regarding the number of raid team members was the minimum safety net in place for the Hunters . It was a policy to prevent the incidents of Hunters entering a dungeon without sufficient preparation and losing their lives
However .
Did Hunter Seong require such a safety net when his summons could beat down countless rank S monsters? Abruptly recalling a certain scene from the ant tunnel raid, Goh Gun-Hui asked as his expression tensed up
"By any chance The raid permits your Guild will be issued with, are you planning to clear those Gates all by yourself?".
"Yes . ".
Goh Gun-Hui became speechless from Jin-Woo's straightforward reply . There was not one trace of worry in his voice
'Could it be that he made the Guild just for this . ?'.
Did he do that so he could solo-clear high-ranking dungeons?.
There were many powerful Hunters throughout the world, but none of them planned their raids in this manner
But, when the images of this Jin-Woo confidently chatting away, and the Jin-Woo back in the ant tunnel summoning countless soldiers to sweep away the ant monsters, overlapped in Goh Gun-Hui's eyes, the older man suddenly began shivering almost uncontrollably
'A one-man army '.
For Goh Gun-Hui, who had been constantly worried about the unchecked growth of the major Guilds, that proved to be one hell of an attractive concept
Ba-dump, ba-dump!!!.
His heart began racing again
Goh Gun-Hui placed his hand on the chest that began to hurt a little, and formed a bitter smile after comparing himself to the virile and healthy-looking Jin-Woo
"Will it be difficult?".
Jin-Woo asked, but Goh Gun-Hui immediately shook his head
"It's not going to be impossible . ".
Indeed, it wouldn't be impossible, but it'd be quite difficult, nonetheless . That was what Goh Gun-Hui thought
But, just what kind of man was he? He was the President of the Hunter's Association, a rank S Hunter, and the member of the National Assembly
This was a request from not just anyone, but Hunter Seong Jin-Woo . Even if it was a tough request, there would be nothing holding Goh Gun-Hui back from fulfilling it
And if that was enough to keep Hunter Seong in South Korea, then all the better for it
"Leave it to me . ".
Jin-Woo grinned brightly after hearing Goh Gun-Hui's confident reply
'Nice . '.
One of the things that could've proved to be a source of headache got resolved just now
"Thank you . ".
Jin-Woo smiled and expressed his gratitude, and Goh Gun-Hui replied with a smile of his own
"I always bring this up, but well, it should be us thanking you, Hunter-nim . ".
Screech
The large saloon carrying the two stopped at a bit of distance away from the hospital's entrance
"Let us speak again soon, Seong Hunter-nim . ".
"Of course . ".
After sharing simple goodbyes, Jin-Woo climbed out of the car
The news of the victims being transferred to this hospital must've gotten around, because there were a lot of reporters camping by the entrance already
The car stopping a fair distance away from the entrance was all due to Woo Jin-Cheol's consideration . There was little doubt that another commotion would've broken out if the car carrying the Association President came to a stop in front of the hospital and Jin-Woo climbed out from there
'It's times like this that being famous can get really annoying . '.
Jin-Woo shook his head and used 'Stealth' to conceal himself
***.
Inside the office of the Yujin Construction's chairman
Chairman Yu Myung-Han, who had been taking a nap on the impossibly-wide desk, slowly raised his slouched torso up
Sunlight entered at an angle through the windows
He felt his eyelids getting impossibly heavier, and it seemed that he eventually had fallen into a bit of slumber
On the couch located in front of the desk, the right-hand man of Yu Myung-Han, Secretary Kim, was sitting upright and looking back at his boss
Yu Myung-Han rubbed his face to chase away the remaining sleepiness and spoke up
"Looks like I have napped for a little while . How long was I asleep for?".
 ".
'… '.
Yu Myung-Han's hand rubbing his face came to a sudden stop
"I've been waiting here in order to carry out your order of escorting you to the hospital if you don't wake up after 24 hours have elapsed, sir . ".
Was it that illness striking again?.
Yu Myung-Han's face, his hand no longer covering it, was frozen stiff
He would sometimes fall into a state of deep sleep without any warning signs, and once asleep, it became harder and harder to wake up
The 'Eternal Sleep' disorder
Although the process was slow, this disease definitely dragged all of its victims to death's doorway
Secretary Kim strode quickly forward and stood before Yu Myung-Han
"Sir, there are two things I need to inform you about . ".
"What are they?".
As befitting his nickname of 'Pokerface', Yu Myung-Han had already wiped off all traces of worry from his face and reverted back to his regular stoic expression
Secretary Kim picked up the newspaper resting at the corner of the large desk and politely placed it before Yu Myung-Han
'… . ?'.
Somewhat puzzled, Yu Myung-Han quickly picked the paper up and browsed through it . The article dominating the front page was about the event of a Gate opening up in a school somewhere in Seoul, causing the devastating losses of hundreds of high school students
"Tsk, tsk ".
Yu Myung-Han grimaced after seeing that terrible news
"What a terrible incident this is . Make sure our company donates something to the school and to the victims . ".
"Yes, sir . But, Chairman, that's not it . ".
Yu Myung-Han put the paper down . Secretary Kim bowed slightly and carefully flipped the page of the newspaper, so the next page could be seen . There was a large photo dominating this page
"This is the photograph I wanted to show to you, sir . ".
The tip of Secretary Kim's finger stopped by at a certain lady within that photo
"This woman Do you recall who she is, sir?".
The photo was of a hospital where the survivors of that horrible incident had been admitted to . Secretary Kim had singled out a certain woman among the many pictured . She was hurriedly running into the hospital's entrance
Quite coincidentally, she was someone Chairman Yu Myung-Han still remembered quite clearly
"But, how . ??".
Yu Myung-Han never forgot a person's face . And he definitely had seen that woman's photograph before
She was none other than Hunter Seong Jin-Woo's mother
"But, I thought Hunter Seong Jin-Woo's mother suffered from the Eternal Sleep, too?".
He had studied Hunter Seong Jin-Woo's profile several times in great detail
A person who, according to Yu Myung-Han's knowledge, should be confined to a bed and unable to move while completely dependent on the life support machines, was walking around looking completely healthy
The thing Secretary Kim wanted to talk to him about – Chairman Yu Myung-Han finally realised what that was . His hand gripping the newspaper began trembling
"Can you find out for me what happened in detail?".
"Understood, sir . ".
" . Thank you . ".
As his response to Yu Myung-Han's praise, Secretary Kim bowed again for a brief moment, before raising his head again . After putting the newspaper back down again, Yu Myung-Han quietly opened his mouth
"You said there are two things I need to know about . ".
"Yes, sir . ".
"What is the second matter, then?".
Yu Myung-Han raised his head and met Secretary Kim's gaze . And the light in the latter's eyes wasn't so good . This was one of Kim's old habits . He always brought up the good news first, then spoke the bad news the last
Secretary Kim displayed some hints of hesitation, before speaking up as if he decided to give up
"The Young Miss has returned home yesterday . ".
As if waiting for that declaration
Clung!.
The door to the Chairman's office was flung wide open and an intellectual-type beauty rushed inside
Chairman Yu Myung-Han's daugther, Yu Jin-Hui, saw how thin her father had become and tears began wetting her eyes
"How long have you been like this, Father?".

Alright. So I had been stoning for about a year, and ganja was my overall favorite drug (still is. Can't go wrong with weed.). I had heard about how some people eat it and about how you don't lose any THC that way, so I figured I'd try it. At about 10 pm, I set about 3 grams in my desk lamp and waited about 40 minutes (remember, you always have to warm it up!) 'Til it was sorta lukewarm. I jammed a nugget into my mouth, and then another.  It tasted horrible, and it probably wouldn't work with this little preparation anyway (little did I know…).
So I move on with life, and at about 12, I went to bed. I was having a little trouble sleeping and didn't know why. I kept thinking erratically about all kinds of weird stuff, but I just figured that it was that silly period where you're not
quite asleep yet, but you're just starting to dream. After a few minutes of this, I felt a sway in balance like I always get with ganja. Quickly, I clicked on my desk lamp (yes, the same one as before) and sat there a minute with a look of surprise and concentration on my moon of a face. The effects kept seeping into my mind, but no, it couldn't be working
this long after I ate it. Wrong; I was high as a kite. It was strange, because it wasn't really the same kind of experience. I got extreme mental stuff, but not as much body stuff as usual.
Anyway, it was, up to then, my best-ever trip. I had such extreme stuff going on in my head. I had heard and used the word 'stoned' plenty, but this was the first time that I was
really stoned. I usually want to do something, like listen to music or watch TV, but I didn't feel like doing
anything that night. I just laid there staring at nothing and wondering if I could even move if I took a notion to. One part I remember was when I was closing my eyes and flashing through past lives as native Americans. (And I'm an atheist! I knew that this wasn't really happening, but I was enjoying letting my mind wander.) Anyway, after about 3.5 hours of it, I fell asleep/passed out and slept like a baby. Ahh, the thrill of trying new things.

Tim Cook talks Mac Pro, Austin, Trump, and China in new interview
Source: ABC News
What you need to know
- Apple broke ground on its future campus in Austin, Texas today.
- Cook defended Apple's decision about removing the Hong Kong mapping app.
- He also talked about why he communicates directly with President Trump.
After breaking ground on the company's newest campus in Austin, Texas which will employ about 5,000 by 2022 and have a capacity of up to 15,000, Tim Cook spent some time with ABC News' Rebecca Jarvis to talk about the a lot of the politics surrounding the company as of late.
Cook talked about how he is proud to build the company's "most powerful computer ever" in the United States.
"We are really proud to make the Mac Pro here -- this computer is our most powerful computer we've ever made, by far...it performs over 50 trillion tasks per second. I mean, this is just mind-blowing."
President Donald Trump flew into Austin on Wednesday to tour the production process of the Mac Pro and meet with Cook. In response to criticism of his personal relationship with the President, Cook explains that he is intentional in fighting for Apple's values directly with the White House.
"I don't believe in having people talk on my behalf...I don't believe in lobbyists. I believe in direct conversation. I strongly believe in engagement.  I despise it."
Source: ABC News
When asked about why Apple has continued to build the iPhone in China, especially as political pressure mounts to move production to the United States or elsewhere, Cook says that is in a lot of ways already the case.
"If you look at the glass of the iPhone, which everybody touches all day long, that glass is made in Kentucky. If you were to take apart the iPhone you would see many of the silicone components that are made in the United States as well...the iPhone is the product of a global supply chain."
Pressed further on China, specifically on how the effect of potential tariffs could be on the iPhone and Apple's other product lines, Cook believes that the two countries will come to an agreement before the company needs to worry about dealing with such a cost increase.
"I'm hoping that the U.S. and China come to an agreement, and so I don't even want to go down that road right now...I'm so convinced that it's in the best interest of the U.S. and best interest of China, and so if you have two parties where there's a common best interest there has got to be some kind of path forward here. And I think that will happen."
Source: ABC News
He also added that the company's decision to remove the HKmap.live app from the Chinese App Store, a decision that received sharp criticism from social groups and politicians alike, was made with safety in mind.
"In terms of the Hong Kong situation, I hope and pray for everyone's safety...more broadly I pray for dialogue, because I think that good people coming together can decide ways forward. In the specific app in Hong Kong, we made the decision unilaterally...we made it for safety, and I recognize that somebody can say that is the wrong decision and so forth. We obviously get second-guessed a lot when you make tough decisions on apps to be on versus off, but we made it for safety."
When asked about what might be next for Apple, especially in the area of acquisitions, Cook said that they aren't looking at any shocking big thing, but a lot of small interesting things.
"We are investing a lot in this country -- you saw the site earlier -- we are putting another billion here...we acquire things when they make sense, but we never acquire for size and revenue -- we acquire for talent and IP, and things that can improve people's lives."

| service UnoControl |
- Description
- specifies an abstract control.
All components which implement this service can
be integrated in a windowing environment. This service describes
the controller of the Smalltalk model view controller design.
You must set a model and a stub to the UnoControl before using
other methods. The implementation only allows the change of the
graphics (XView) if the window is not visible. The
change of the graphics in visible state should redirect the output
to these graphics, but this behavior is implementation-specific.
The change of data directly at the control may not affect the
model data. To ensure this behavior, modify the data of the model.

SQL or No-SQL. Lets dive in first to explain what they are. After that we can look what is pros and cons.Right now since the start of DBC education,we are dealing with SQL databases whihc is relational databases which indicates that the tables that are in the database does have some relation to each other and all the tables have some sort of structures to follow. On the other hand, No-SQL databases do not have any kind of relation to each other and do not have any sort of structures. The data structure differs from the SQL databases. The common usage of data structures are key-value pair or document model.
I think the real question that we have to ask to ourselves is why did we need No-SQL databases. What are we missing with SQL databases. No-SQL databases address some of the points: being non relational, distributed, open source and horizontally scalable. One of the theorems to examine different databases is CAP thereom. the CAP theorem demonstrates that any distributed system cannot guaranty C, A, and P simultaneously, rather, trade-offs must be made at a point-in-time to achieve the level of performance and availability required for a specific task.
[C] Consistency - All the servers in the system will have the same data so anyone using the system will get the same copy regardless of which server answers their request.
[A] Availability - The system will always respond to a request (even if it's not the latest data or consistent across the system or just a message saying the system isn't working).
[P] Partition Tolerance - The system continues to operate as a whole even if individual servers fail or can't be reached..
SQL databases provides two of three from CAP theorem. Consistency and Availability. On the other hand No-SQL databases provides avaialability and Partition Tolerance. As you see from the above , not eveything is one-fits-all. You can pick the database that you are going to use depending on the your needs. There are limitations on speed and scaling when it comes to massive high availability data stores.Querying and inserting is not performant in these scenarios because of the blocking/schema/transaction nature of the RDBMs. That's the reason they have implemented their own databases (actually, key-value stores) for massive performance gain and scalability.
When I think of my happiest and proudest moments in my life, the two values come to my mind is persistance. I think nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always wins — not through strength, but through persistence.
Persistance, perserverance ,commitment and spirituality are the most important ones for me. I think when you look at the all those values, you can see that all of them are tied together.if you know your inner spirituality, then you will have right commitments and once you have the right commitment, you will set the right goals for yourself and by persistance and perseverance, you will achieve those goals.
It all starts with yourself. Once you have knowledge about yourself such as your weakness and strengths , you can sideline your first and biggest enemy:self. After that you have to think with the right mind what will be your commitments just as setting your goals. This is the part where you can get help from others that will see your from different perspective than yourself.
Once you establish your goals, the second step is to make sure that you will perservere and persist in your journey.No matter what you will try stay positive and start accomplishing your goals with the same enthusiasm every day. No matter what happened yesterday is the by-gone and let the by-gone be by-gone.
I try to not give advice since I do not like giving advices.
When I feel that I am failing in something, I will go back to my spirituality and try to find out what I had done wrong and what I should do next to make sure that I will not do the same faliure again.
The question youask to yourself while writing any piece of code read after this blog post should be "Is-a" or "has-a". Right now the first sentence is not making any sense ,but let's continue.
Writing successful software starts with succint and understandable classes. You dont want to repeat yourself, this can be achieved by defining some kind of a relationship between classes. I will say it is relationship , but you can also paraphrase it "mechanism for code reuse"
Inheritance in it's simplest terms "object ability to inherit characteristics from another object".Inheritance allows us to encompass the parent class' state and behaviors into its child. The child class can then extend the state and behaviors to reflect the differences it represents. A good example is between human and man classes,let'say man class inherited from Human class. By above definition man class inherited all the state and behaviour from Human class. The understand if you are inheriting from the right class, you should ask this question. "Is man(subclass) a human(parent class)" , then your inheritance thought is right, otherwise you should look compisition.
Compsition is a way to combine simple objects or data types into more complex ones. As the name implies, you are mixing other objects to make another complex object. Think about the chair example. A chair has a Seat. A chair has a back. And a chair has a set of legs. The phrase "has a" implies a relationship where the chair owns, or at minimum, uses, another object. It is this "has a" relationship which is the basis for composition.
As you see above, if you want to define the relationshipds between your classes, you should ask above two questions when you are writing your code."Is-a" or "has-a"
I think eveyone at some point in their life exprienced stereotype threat. I once felt it when I was in elementary school, I was always getting low grades from science related classes and even-though I work long hours it was affecting my grades so much. Hopefully I had dad on my side and he told me that "I am not different than anybody and even I would not get high grades, he still loves me no matter what".
After hearing those two sentence from my dad, it made my self-confidence level go up and afterwards I always got high grades. If I ever face the same problems , I always remember those two sentences that my dad told me. When I go deep in those two sentence , there is one fundemental lesson. That is to tell your brain to stop telling you that you are not good enough.
I think pairing in DBC phase 0 is extremely helpful since you dont understand the whole material, you want to find somebody like yourself so you can talk the same language. I think couple things to look out for before pairing; how well your partner is perpared, how much knowledge she/he had before about Ruby,JS,HTML. If you and your partner are ont he same level, it can be rewarding and fun, otherwise it might lead to something else.
When I felt my first feedback, it was very humbling and felt very good. I think most of the feedbacks that I gotten was really specific and actionable,so I took the necessary actions:such as not to fly through the material and express myself more clearly.But the thing that I dont understand is those feedback on the socrates can be easily told to your partner "So and so I did not understand what you had said can you repeat one more time" or " Hey partner i think you are flying through the material , do you mind slowing down so I can understand ". I don't think any partner will be offended by hearing those two sentenc,at least I don't.
Writing feedback is great way of expressing how the pairing went. When I write feedback I feel sheer joy of the completing the work with my partner. Most of the time it is relatively easy to write the pair review, as everybody would agree, it is very hard to write negative feedback about someone. So far , I think I learnt a lot from the feedback that I got from my pairs and I am working really hard on those.
What are classes? A class is blueprint of an object. Let me give you an example.Let's say you want to make a cookie and you have a cookie cutter for job. You want to have your cookies different color and with different ingredients.From this eample we can deduce that Cookie cutter is a class and all the cookies that you made out of that cookie cutter are objects. Defining a class lets you group behaviours into convenient bundles, so you can quikcly create many objects behave essentially the same way.
Let'say you have a cookie class and in that cookie class you want to set and get the color, calory and shape of the cookie. Below is the Ruby class for creating cookie objet. As you can see there are six instance methods(set_color,color,set_shape,shape,set_calory and calory) and three(@shape,@color and @calory) instance variables which helps the creation of objects along with methods.
You can create a new cookie object by instantiating Cookie class.As soon as you instiate the new object you can start using the instance variables and methods. Keep in mind that instance variables and methods only live on the object that is being created. Class methods and class variables live on the class level, so if you want to use those class level methods and variables you should not instantiate object from cookie, you should use the class to use those.
 But the real question to ask ourselves is "how are we going to keep America's long-term comptetive advantage.". We always hear that all the job are being out-sourced and America is falling behind China and other countires in terms of innovation. I dont think that those are founded. Here is why
Today there are more tech related jobs than there are qualified US candidates. Compared to China or other countries, we are filling only half of the jobs that requires a comptuer science degree.Since U.S. jobs business thriving , we have to find the right people , that is the reason that H1-B visa are for. It allows hiring qualified candidates in specalized jobs for limited periods of time. The key is limited periods of time, they are not stealing our jobs. America have a talent GAP, unless we found a long-term solution , I think it is in our best interset to get grant those visa,so we can keep those innovators . By keeping innovators here , we will keep the innovation here. Otherwise we will see that all those innovator along with intellectual property and revenue it generates goes to other countries.
This post will dive into one the most used built-in method that you get when you include Ruby's most useful Module :Enumerable. What is Module? Module contains bunch of methods packaged together and get added (proper term is mixed-in) to classes such as Hash and Arrays.
Enumerables module comes with really useful method.like #map,so my main goal is to get well acquinted with it. In Ruby doc definition, this is what map does: Returns a new array with the results of running block once for every element in enum.
Map in essence iterates over the elements of the array and every element will be applied what is defined in the block part. The block part can be any code kind of code. Of course If you use only #map method the actual array will not be changed. In order to change the actual array, you have to use destructive one which is #map!
Learning and thinking styles are the most untouched parts in my DBC journey. I know how I learn,but could not put into words. Articles help me understand how my thinking and learning style is and every time I read my thinking style , I can pinpoint the areas that I could not understand while studying. I think one of the buggest struggle is when I dont have a structed env. (such as to do list or checklist), I am really having though time to prioritize my time and energy. So from now on ,before I start that weeks challenge , I read all the challenges and make a checklist for myself what are the dues for this week.
Another problematic area is finding the answer with trial and error approach, it is good tat you do not forget after you find out with trial-error approach but I have to spend a lot of time to find the rigth answer. I thinks the root cause of the trial-error approach is stemming from not knowing the material good enough, so you start making guesses based on what you know. My action plan from now will be understanding the material before attempting to do challenges.
It all started with static web pages. People are tired of seeing dull HTML. They wanted to see more of interaction between the user and web page. At that point,Javascript emerges as the new kid on the block. It was doing what is necessay; lightwieght , lives in the browser and lots of interaction. Developers loved it so much since it enables a lot of interaction with the user.
Javascript is an important language because it is the language of the web browser.Javascript is easy to learn, is fast compared to the other languages and since it is interpreted language there is no need to compile. Javascript has a very powerful object literal notation. I think this object notation is inspiration of JSON, the popular data exhange format.
One of the limitation of the Javascript is Gloabl Variables. Global variable is a varaibel that is visible in every scope. Haveing lots of them in larger projects can become problematic. Another limitation or difference from other languages , since Javascript's scope is function based, most programmers are more familiar with the block based scope , this can be very surprising to programmers with experience in other languages. The last limitation is eveything that is input through the browser is String.
Today I will talk about margins, padding and borders. But before we dive into I would like to mention about the box model.ok but lets start with basics. HTML is a markup language for describing the strcuture of web pages. HTML is a tree-like structure where each node can be called as element. Cascade Style Sheets(CSS) contols the presentation of the the web page. So to speak, CSS controls how HTML element is represented.CSS treates every element as if it were represented by a box. Below is the image of a box model.
As you can see every element has a content, which could be a text or image and this content is placed inside a box that is just big enough to contain it. Notice that content area has not white space.Padding is used to create visual space whitespace between the content and the border of the box. Padding is transparent and has no color or decoration of its own. Border surrounds the padding and, becasue it takes the form of a line around your content,provides visual seperation between your content and other elements oon page.Margin gives a way to add space between your element and other spaces. Below is the CSSdeck console and you can get the idea behind the padding,margin and border by changing the CSS.If you cant see the console, you might want to check this link
Tango MangoThis is best community, non-profit webiste out there for tango lovers. You can find lessons, practicas and milongas(fast style Tango) dances and save to your calendar. Not only it does serve tango lovers, but also it serves to tango teachers and organizers who would like to reach out to broader audience. The best part about this site is that it is all in one place , well organized, easy to use and very intuitive.Aside from that you can see all the events that you want to go in one page, after you sign in. I would like to do Native application of this websites as a final project during my DBC, if I can find boots that will help me out along the way.
CourseraThis is the early adopters of MOOC sites. Landing page of Coursera is very intuitive and user friendly. Especially, Saerch bar at the landing page is very practical and navigation bar makes it very easy to find to find what you are looking for.This website solves the college and masters level education problems by offering online classes from different universities for free. Web site is well-thought and organized. I always find myself happy while on this site.
MintedI love this site not only I used to work there but it is super user-friendly. Minted sells custom stationery via crowsourcing.As a customer you can select the product and customize the product per your needs.When you try to customize the product, it is very intuitive and engaging through friendly pop-up boxes. The brading is very well done not only on the website,but also the real product. All the categories on the product landing pages are very informative, you can find the product easily by only filtering through-out the filters. I always feel happy when I visit this website.
I will wrap up here and would like to hear your feedback through Github!

So far I liked it.I liked it because I think the word "vulnerable" makes this journey interesting. I think eveybody will check their ego outside the DBC, where we will have a truly amazing lerning experience through Pair Programming and long hours of coding. Does it make nervous to be vulnerable ? Of course it does, but I know that if I would like to learn, I have to get used to the idea "being vulnerable".
Apart from those, everyone I talked to or interacted with are very friendly and wants to you to be successful. As an outsider rigth now, DBC culture seems like very team oriented,fast and super collaboretive just as the other startups in the valley. I think I will be good fit for DBC since my motto for learning is "teaching is the best learning style".
To be honest , so far DBC exceeded my expectations. Not only they will teach me how to code , but also will give me a new perspective how to see the world from different angle. I am hoping/believing that after graduating the DBC, I will have lot of people on my side that I can ask for advice and call true friends.


Keydrown
A JavaScript key state handler for web apps
Keydrown is a library for managing the state of the keyboard in a web application or game. It is tiny (about .5Kb), unobtrusive and can be learned in about five minutes.
Why is Keydrown useful?
When you bind a function to the keydown
event, it doesn't fire consistently. The web browser uses the operating system's built-in keyboard delay preferences, and the first brief moment after the initial key press does not invoke the event handler. Here's a demonstration of native behavior:
document.addEventListener('keydown', function (evt) { if (evt.keyCode === 81) { console.log('The "Q" key is being held down...?'); } }); document.addEventListener('keyup', function (evt) { if (evt.keyCode === 81) { console.clear(); } });
Press and hold the "Q" key:
Notice the lag at the beginning of the hold. This sluggishness noticeably impacts the user experience of applications — especially games. A better way to handle the keydown
event is to record when a key is pressed, invoke the handler function for every update, and then stop invoking the handler when an analagous keyup
event is detected. Keydrown makes this really easy:
kd.P.down(function () { console.log('The "P" key is being held down!'); }); kd.P.up(function () { console.clear(); }); // This update loop is the heartbeat of Keydrown kd.run(function () { kd.tick(); });
Press and hold the "P" key:
As you can see, the logging from the code example using Keydrown is much more responsive.
How do I use Keydrown?
Keydrown has no dependencies, so all you need is either one of the following:
All of the Keydrown APIs live under the kd
namespace. Keydrown is tick-based, so you'll need to call kd.tick()
somewhere in your run loop. For your convenience, Keydrown provides kd.run()
for a basic run loop if you don't already have one.
kd.run(function () { kd.tick(); });
To invoke a function when a key is held down, do something like this:
// Function fires when the space bar is held down kd.SPACE.down(function () { // ... });
To invoke a function when a key is released:
// Function fires when the space bar is released kd.SPACE.up(function () { // ... });
...And that's it! You can see what keys Keydrown supports by looking at kd.map.js. You can see the full API documentation here. If you find any bugs, please report them in the Github Issue Tracker. Enjoy!

Kazakh FM Says Next Round of Astana Peace Talks on Syria Expected in Early December
NUR-SULTAN (Sputnik) - The next meeting on Syria within the Astana framework will take place in Nur-Sultan in early December, Kazakh Foreign Minister Mukhtar Tleuberdi said on Monday.
The meeting was originally planned to take place in late October but was then postponed to mid-November.
"There are plans for early December", Tleuberdi told journalists.
He added that the Foreign Ministry was expecting official requests from Russia, Turkey, and Iran.
The 13th round of Astana peace talks on Syria took place in August. The meeting has been attended by the representatives of the Syrian government and opposition, as well as Russia, Turkey, Iran — the guarantors of the national ceasefire — Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, and the United Nations. They have discussed the current state of the Syrian conflict, particularly the developments in opposition-held Idlib.

periods of scandal where they lost endorsement deals because companies no longer found them worthy to wear their name.
When we enter into relationship with God, we are given the incredible privilege of wearing His name. We become the face of God to the people we meet, His representatives on earth. This is both an awesome mark of favor and a sobering responsibility.
What do these verses teach us about being God’s representatives?
2 Corinthians 5:18-21
Colossians 3:15-17
1 Corinthians 3:16-17
Moses’ encounter with God at the burning bush led him to ask God: “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what shall I tell them?” (Exodus 3:13).
Moses was looking for an endorsement, a name, a base of credibility that He could carry back with Him to God’s people. God endorsed the purpose and ministry He had given Moses by giving Him a name: “I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I am has sent me to you’” (Exodus 3:14). Any brilliant leadership decision Moses made, any miracle he performed, wasn’t in his own strength or his own name but in the name of YHWH, the “I am.” Everything Moses did was an endorsement of God’s name and power.
The same is true in the story of Daniel and his friends. The famous account of Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, which we studied on Day 2, ends with them walking out of the fiery furnace without a mark on them, unsinged and unharmed. King Nebuchadnezzar, who had ordered them burned to death, was impressed, to say the least, but he wasn’t impressed with them; he clearly saw that their actions pointed beyond them to the God they represented.
Reread Daniel 3:28-29. What is the king’s reaction? What does he say?
Remember that this is the same king who had a golden statue of himself built and demanded people bow down to it. What factors do you think brought about this change in him?

Orchestration¶
Orchestration is a service that can be used to create and manage cloud resources. Examples of such resources are databases, load balancers, servers and software installed on them.
Concepts¶
To use the Orchestration service effectively, you should understand several key concepts:
- Template: An Orchestration template is a JSON or YAML document that describes how a set of resources should be assembled to produce a working deployment. The template specifies what resources should be used, what attributes of these resources are parameterized and what information is output to the user when a template is instantiated.
- Resource: A resource is a template artifact that represents some component of your desired architecture (a Cloud Server, a group of scaled Cloud Servers, a load balancer, some configuration management system, and so forth).
- Stack: A stack is a running instance of a template. When a stack is created, the resources specified in the template are created.
Getting started¶
1. Instantiate an OpenStack or Rackspace client.¶
To use the Orchestration service, you must first instantiate a OpenStack or Rackspace client object.
If you are working with an OpenStack cloud, instantiate an OpenCloud\OpenStack client as follows:
use OpenCloud\OpenStack; $client = new OpenStack('<OPENSTACK CLOUD IDENTITY ENDPOINT URL>', array( 'username' => '<YOUR OPENSTACK CLOUD ACCOUNT USERNAME>', 'password' => '<YOUR OPENSTACK CLOUD ACCOUNT PASSWORD>' ));
If you are working with the Rackspace cloud, instantiate a OpenCloud\Rackspace client as follows:
use OpenCloud\Rackspace; $client = new Rackspace(Rackspace::US_IDENTITY_ENDPOINT, array( 'username' => '<YOUR RACKSPACE CLOUD ACCOUNT USERNAME>', 'apiKey' => '<YOUR RACKSPACE CLOUD ACCOUNT API KEY>' ));
2. Obtain an Orchestration service object from the client.¶
All Orchestration operations are done via an orchestration service object. To instantiate this object, call the orchestrationService method on the $client object as shown in the following example:
$region = '<CLOUD REGION NAME>';
$orchestrationService = $client->orchestrationService(null, $region);
Any stacks and resources created with this $orchestrationService instance will be stored in the cloud region specified by $region.
3. Create a stack from a template.¶
$stack = $orchestrationService->createStack(array(
'name' => 'simple-lamp-setup',
'templateUrl' => 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rackspace-orchestration-templates/lamp/master/lamp.yaml',
'parameters' => array(
'server_hostname' => 'web01',
'image' => 'Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) (PVHVM)'
),
'timeoutMins' => 5
));
Next steps¶
Once you have created a stack, there is more you can do with it. See complete user guide for orchestration.


Zimbabwe’s economy forecast to grow 3% next year – finance minister
by Staff ReporterHARARE (Reuters) – Zimbabwe’s economy is forecast to grow by 3% next year from a projected contraction of 6.5% this year, helped by improvements in agricultural output and electricity supplies, Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube said on Thursday.
Presenting the 2020 budget to parliament, Ncube also said the country’s budget deficit is projected at 1.5% of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2020 from 4% of GDP this year.

Notes: 1948 was the inaugural year. The 1948 race followed the route of the 1932 Olympic Marathon and finished
at the Los Angeles Coliseum. The race was moved to Culver City for the 1949 race. From 1955, the race was known
as the Western Hemisphere Marathon. The 1962-63 courses are considered to have been short. The 1968 course was
certified but the reported times were taken 513m before the finish because it was claimed that the course was 564m
over-distance. A remeasurement of the course proved this to be the case; Deines time was 2:22:28 for the full (long)
course. This race was a qualifier for the 1968 USA Olympic Trials Marathon.

29 July 2010 - The Ministry of Health of Egypt has announced a new human case of A(H5N1) avian influenza infection.
The case is a 20 year-old female from Shobra Elkhima district, Qliubia Governorate. She was admitted to hospital on 21 July, placed on a ventilator, and received oseltamivir treatment. She died on 27 July.
Investigations into the source of infection indicated that the case had exposure to sick and dead poultry.
The case was confirmed by the Egyptian Central Public Health Laboratories, a National Influenza Center of the WHO Global Influenza Surveillance Network (GISN).
Of the 110 laboratory confirmed cases of Avian influenza A(H5N1) reported in Egypt, 35 have been fatal.


A lot of programmers claim they know C. Well, it has the most famous syntax, it has been there for 44 years, and it’s not cluttered with obscure features. It’s easy!
If you think it is — take this test. It only has 5 questions. Every question is basically the same: what the return value would be? And each question has a choice of four answers, of which one and only one is right.
So, the right answers are:
You scored 0 points, sorry. You don't know what you don't know.
You scored 1 point, which is not so bad. You know that there is something you don't know.
You scored 2 points, which is not so bad. You know that there are things you don't know.
You scored 3 points, which is rather well. You know that you don't know.
You scored 4 points, which is excellent. You know what you don't know.
You scored 5 points, congratulations! You know exactly what you don't know.
And yes, the right answer to every question is “I don’t know”.
Let’s untangle them one by one now.
First one is actually about structure padding. C compiler knows that storing unaligned data in RAM may be costly, so it pads your data for you. If you have 5 bytes of data in a structure, it will probably make it 8. Or 16. Or 6. Or whatever it wants. There are extensions like GCC attributes aligned and packed that let you get some control over this process, but they are non-standard. C itself does not define padding attributes, so the right answer is: “I don’t know”.
The second one is about integer promotion. It’s only reasonable that the type of short int and an expression with the largest integer being short int would be the same. But the reasonable doesn’t mean right for C. There is the rule that every integer expression gets promoted to int. Actually, it’s much more complicated than that. Take a peek at the standard, you’ll enjoy it.
But even so, we don’t compare types, we compare sizes. And the standard only guarantees that the range of short int should not exceed int. They ranges may be equal, and the size of the short int may even be grates than the size of int because of the padding bits. So the right answer is: “I don’t know”.
The third one is all about dark corners. Starting from that neither integer overflows, nor char type sign are defined by the standard. First one is undefined behavior, the second is implementation specific. But even more, the size of the char type itself is not specified in bits either. Historically, there were platforms where it was 6 bits (remember trigraphs?), and there are platforms today where all five integer types are 32 bits. Even the value of the space character is implementation defined. Without all these details specified, every speculation about the result is invalid, so the answer is: “I don’t know”.
The fourth one looks tricky, but it’s not that hard in retrospective since you already know that int size is not directly specified in the standard. It can easily be 16 bits, then the very first operation will cause the over-shift and that’s plain undefined behavior. It’s not C fault, on some platforms, it is even undefined in assembly, so the compiler simply can’t give you valid guarantees without eating up a lot of performance.
So once again “I don’t know” is the right answer.
And the last one is classic. The result depends on undefined behavior: whether the post-increment is deferred and which argument is fetched first. It might work just like you expect on one platform and might fail easily on the other. Usually, it just evaluates to 2, so you get used to it until one day it doesn't. That’s the problem with undefined things. When you meet one, the right answer is always: “I don’t know”.
P. S.
And at this point, I only have to apologize. The test is clearly provocative and may even be a little offensive. I’m sorry if it causes any aggravation.
The thing is, I learned C in roughly 1998, and for the whole 15 years thought that I’m good at it. It was my language of choice in college, and I’ve done some successful projects in C on my first full-time job, and even then, when I was mostly working with C++, I thought of it as over-bloated C.
The pivoting moment came in 2013, when I’ve got myself involved with some safety-critical PLC programming. It was a research project in nuclear power plant automation, where absolutely no underspecification was tolerable. I had to learn that, while I did know a lot about C programming, the absolute majority of what I knew was false. And I had to learn it the hard way too.
Eventually, I had to learn to rely on the standard instead of folklore; to trust measurements and not presumptions; to take “things that simply work” skeptically, — I had to learn an engineering attitude. This is what matters the most, not some particular WAT anecdotes.
I only hope this little test would help someone like myself from the past to learn this attitude in some 15 minutes and not 15 years.

It is ever more apparent that Hooting Yard needs to be both robust and transparent. I want to move the debate forward, and that is why I am making arrangements for someone—possibly the octogenarian crone Mrs Gubbins—to clamber up a ladder on to the roof of a large and imposing building and to shout, through a loudhailer, a robust and transparent message. The message will be shouted in a transparently robust manner, from behind a transparent screen, made of robust glass. It's a big ask, but I think it's important to begin the conversation. One benefit of such robust transparency is that we might, as a result, be invited into the government's big tent of all the talents. Asked to predict the likelihood of this, our resident prognosticator Little Severin The Mystic Badger scrabbled around in a pile of twigs and muck and came to no definite conclusion. Perhaps he is insufficiently robust.
