Q: How to add object properties together (number)? Hey so I'm working on a JS project, and I came across an issue where I am trying to add/merge 2 objects together. So basically, there is a base object:
{age: 0,
 lvl: 123,
 xp: 321}

So we have this, and I have another object coming in with
{age: 12,
 lvl: 21}

The result I want is
{age: 12,
 lvl: 144,
 xp: 321}

But that could be easily achieved with just individual property addition. However, I want to come to a point where I don't know what properties the object has, yet they are still added. Oh and the property type will for sure be a number. Any ideas?
Edit:
Ok, I see I mis worded some stuff. What I meant by me not knowing which properties it has, I meant that I know that the object may have one-all properties of the first object, just that I don't know which ones the second one has and does have.

A: Loop through the keys of the second object and add them to the first:
const first = {
    age: 0,
    lvl: 123,
    xp: 321
};
const second = {
    age: 12,
    lvl: 21
};
for (const key in second) {
    first[key] = (first[key] || 0) + second[key];
}
console.log(first);

Read more about for...in loops here.

A: Write a function that makes a copy of the first object and adds the keys in:

function addProperties(firstObj, secondObj) {
  const newObj = Object.assign({}, firstObj);
  for (let key of Object.keys(secondObj)) {
    if (newObj.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
      newObj[key] += secondObj[key];
    } else {
      newObj[key] = secondObj[key];
    }
  }
  return newObj;
}

const first = {
    age: 0,
    lvl: 123,
    xp: 321
};
const second = {
    age: 12,
    lvl: 21
};

const result = addProperties(first, second);
console.log(result);

Haas to debut car at first test of 2016
The new Haas Formula One team will give their 2016 car its first official track outing at the opening pre-season test of the year next March. That is according to the American squad's team principal Guenther Steiner.
In recent seasons even existing teams have often struggled to - or chosen not to - have their cars ready for the first test of the year, but Steiner is confident Haas's Ferrari-powered machine will be completed in time.
"On 1st March 2016, on the first all-team test day," Steiner told Formula1.com when asked about its debut. "It could be that we will perform a shake-down one day before - on 29th February - but nothing more is planned so far."
Next year is expected to see a reduction in pre-season testing, with the three (four-day) sessions of 2015 cut to just two (four-day) sessions - a change that won't aid Haas's preparations for their first F1 campaign.
"I wouldn't say [it's] a problem - it is what it is," conceded Steiner, philosophically. "We have to live with it."
Haas are hoping to announce their driver line-up later this month, with at least one experienced F1 name expected to feature, and will lodge their official entry for next year's championship with the FIA in October.

est un journal chilien fondé en 1827. Il est à ce titre le plus vieux quotidien du pays et au-delà le plus ancien quotidien de langue espagnole dans le monde à continuer de paraître.

Histoire

Fondé par Pedro Félix Vicuña et José Ignacio Zenteno, le premier numéro du Mercurio de Valpo parut le . À ses débuts, le journal ne paraissait que le mercredi et le samedi, ne disposait pas d'une équipe permanente de rédacteurs et s'alimentait des collaborations de son fondateur et d'amis invités à y écrire. C'est seulement à partir du  que le journal commença à paraître quotidiennement.

À partir de 1848, fut insérée dans le journal la rubrique El Mercurio del Vapor qui donnait des informations sur les bateaux qui rentraient et sortaient du port de Valparaíso. Cette rubrique devint par la suite une publication à part jusu'en 1882.

Du  au , El Mercurio de Valparaíso publia un journal régional destiné aux provinces et baptisé El Mercurio de Provincias.

L'imprimerie du journal fut, de 1827 à 1838, installée dans le quartier de l'église de La Matriz. Elle fut transférée en 1838 dans un bâtiment situé plazuela Saint-Augustin. En 1841, c'est à l'angle de la rue de la Douane (aujourd'hui rue Prat) et de la montée de l'Almendro (auj. rue Urriola) que s'installe le journal. Par la suite, El Mercurio s'établit rue Saint-Jean-de-Dieu (auj. rue Condell). De 1869 à 1901, le journal occupe un bâtiment situé rue de la Douane (Prat) avant de s'installer dans les locaux qu'il occupe encore actuellement, au numéro 1002 de la rue Esmeralda, dans la partie commerciale et financière du quartier du port.

The Catholic guidebook for dying well
Brother Columba Thomas, OP, MD | The National Catholic Bioethics Center
Zoe Romanowsky - published on 11/03/21
The "Ars Moriendi" (Art of Dying), written in the late Middle Ages, is still here to help us during the most important time of life.
In the Catholic tradition, the month of November is dedicated to praying for the dead. It's also the end of the liturgical year; a time when the Church ponders the "final things," and looks with hope at what is to come. This is all reflected in the Scripture readings and prayers at Mass leading up to Advent.
So it's a perfect time to ponder death and dying — especially your own. Are you ready for death? Do you know how to help a loved one when they draw close to their own deaths?
If you don't quite know how to answer such questions, you may want to get yourself a copy of The Art of Dying. Traditionally known in Latin as the "Ars Moriendi," it's a text that originated in the 15th century when the bubonic plague was ravaging Europe and people were largely cut off from priests and the sacraments. (Sound a little familiar?)
The Church wanted to provide pastoral help to the faithful so it commissioned, printed, and widely circulated a text called the Ars Moriendi. There were two versions — first a longer one, then a shorter one. Each contained reflections, meditations, and instructions for Catholics on how to die well, and how to help others approach death.
A new annotated translation in English has just been completed by Brother Columba Thomas, OP, MD, published by The National Catholic Bioethics Center. The short book with the English title The Art of Dying includes some history of how the Ars Moriendi came to be and how we can apply it to our lives today. The book, with reproductions of the original medieval woodblock prints, contains reflections, teachings, and various kinds of prayers to assist the dying as they prepare to enter eternal life.
This new translation comes at the right time. The coronavirus pandemic has forced many of us to confront our own mortality in ways we haven't had to before. Some of us have not only experienced illness ourselves, but we've witnessed the serious illness and death of loved ones and acquaintance. And a pandemic aside, impairment and death still come for us by way of disease, accident, old age, and various other avenues.
Although death and dying is not a topic most of us like to think about, it's one of the most important times in our lives — one that can be rich with meaning, grace, reconciliation, and love. The end of life is not simply a time to deal with complex healthcare decisions but to make sure our souls are ready to make the final leg of our journey to the Father's house. The Art of Dying is a handbook to help us do that.

Dual or multi-purpose
October 10, 2012 | The Law Office of Philip D. Cave
Here is an interesting little piece.
The outbreak of violence by individuals who seek to harm other persons or institutions cannot be reliably predicted today, the Defense Science Board said in a new report to the Secretary of Defense. Instead, efforts to counter violence should focus on prevention and mitigation of the threat.
The DSB was created and tasked in response to MAJ Hasan and the Fort Hood shootings. But does the report have important learning points in regard to sexual assault prevention.

Here is an interesting article about the "discussion" about prison sexual assault. Can the same be said for non prison sexual assault views.

United States v. Parker and Woodruff
In these consolidated appeals, the Government challenged the district court's orders dismissing its 18 U.S.C. § 4248 (2006) petitions for civil commitment of Lonnie Parker and James Woodruff, who were both convicted of various sex offenses and sentenced in military court-martial proceedings, but are currently housed within a Bureau of Prisons facility. The district court dismissed the Government's petitions because it found that "§ 4248 does not apply to military prisoners [since] they are not `in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons' pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 4248(a)." In so holding, the district court relied on its order in a related case, United States v. Joshua, No. 5:09-hc-02035-BR (E.D.N.C. Jan. 13, 2010), which was recently affirmed by this court. See United States v. Joshua, 607 F.3d 379 (4th Cir. 2010) (holding that an individual convicted and sentenced by United States Army court-martial but housed within a facility operated by the Bureau of Prisons is not "in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons" under § 4248(a)). The Government concedes that these appeals present the same issue addressed in, and that the disposition of the appeals is controlled by Joshua.

NMCCA decisions
NMCCA has released a number of decisions. Several have providency issues and issues not raised by appellate counsel.
United States v. Messias. The court set-aside a finding of guilty to because of an inadequate providence inquiry. No sentence relief granted.
While the providence inquiry establishes facts sufficient to demonstrate that the appellant drove on base and that he believed the driving to be wrongful, there are no facts developed which establish either the invalidity of the appellant's license, if any, or in the alternative, his failure to have a valid license in his possession. We cannot infer either eventuality from this record. We are left with a substantial basis in fact to question this plea and conclude the military judge abused his discretion in accepting this plea on these facts.

Not always a fan
June 30, 2010 | The Law Office of Philip D. Cave
I'm not a fan of the Center for Military Readiness. But I have to acknowledge they at least raised a very important point about military sexual assault cases.
Read the various articles I've posted about confirmatory bias in connection with this piece from CMR about Sex, Lies & Rape. Although written in 2006, the points resonate today just as clearly.

Army Times reports that:
An Army captain from Colorado charged with killing two Iraqi civilians has been convicted of lesser charges in Iraq.
Military officials say Capt. Carl Bjork was found guilty of reckless endangerment and negligent homicide in a general court-martial on Tuesday. He was reprimanded and will lose a third of his salary for one year.

Collateral consequences sex offender registration
March 11, 2010 | The Law Office of Philip D. Cave
In this case we decide whether Joshua Williams, who pleaded guilty to carnal knowledge of a minor in violation of military law while serving in the Navy, is exempt from registration as a sex offender pursuant to Penal Code sections 290, subdivision (c) and 290.005 (undesignated statutory references are to the Penal Code), and therefore entitled to have his name removed from the Justice Department's sex offender registry. We conclude that based on Williams's plea, he was denied equal protection of the law in that persons convicted in California of the equivalent offense of unlawful sexual intercourse in violation of section 261.5 are not required to register. (People v. Hofsheier (2006) 37 Cal.4th 1185, 1206-1207 (Hofsheier).) In reaching this conclusion, we focus on the offense of which Williams was convicted, not a hypothetical offense of which he could have been convicted based on the conduct underlying the charge. (People v. Ranscht (2009) 173 Cal.App.4th 1369, 1374-1375 (Ranscht).) Accordingly, the trial court erred in denying Williams's request to have his name removed from the registry.
Williams v. Superior Court of San Diego, D055457 (10 March 2010).

I breed donkeys as a hobby and do from time to time, have a youngsters & older donkeys for sale.
The above mare Bunns Miss Alesha Star is homebred, born in 2011. She is a small standard donkey with a height of 10.2hh, she has been shown in hand at local shows (including New Forest & Hampshire County Show), she is friendly sometimes a bit cheeky when she needs to be caught, good with farrier & the vet. Up to date with Flu/tetanus/ microchipped & has a Full Donkey Breed Society Passport.
Finding the right home for me is essential when I rehome my donkeys. Donkeys should not live on their own as they enjoy company, so please only buy a donkey if it is going to live with another donkey or a pony. For more details please make contact.
This donkey is now SOLD, living in Jersey & currently being broken to harness.


Back in June I posted a couple of entries having to do with the opening pages of Oliver O'Donovan's Self, World, and Time, which is the first entry in his "Ethics as Theology" series. I finally finished the trilogy and have been spending some time re-reading and annotating sections. It's a good and interesting work for me, particularly as it stretches the reader in ways that are both deeply theological while totally grounded in day-to-day living (in ways that don't quite feel like the norm for most theological or ethical writing).
As I mentioned in June, O'Donovan's opening image of "waking up" really struck me as appropriate on multiple levels. So much, really, that I decided to weave it into my first "ethics" lesson when our second semester starts this school year via the first three minutes of the pilot episode of LOST, where Jack Shepherd "wakes up" on the island. Another, more recent, use of the opening-scene-wake-up is The Good Place, which is an amazing opportunity to talk ethics. Here's a preview of the show's first episode back, when its third season premieres next week. Of course, spoilers.
That first few seconds: a perfect O'Donovan moment.
Over the next few days I hope to get some thoughts down here based on Self, World, and Time. And since it's almost TV season, I'm sure there will be some previews and trailers to post, too.

Сър Елтън Джон (), роден като Рѐджиналд Кѐнет Дуайт (Reginald Kenneth Dwight), е английски певец, пианист и композитор.

В своята дългогодишна кариера (стартирала през 1962 г.) той се радва на световна известност, достигнала своя връх през седемдесетте години на двадесети век. Елтън Джон е продал над 450 млн. албума и над 200 млн. сингъла по цял свят, което го прави един от най-успешните изпълнители за всички времена.

Биография
Елтън Джон е роден на 25 март 1947 г. в лондонското предградие Пинър, Великобритания.

Заедно с продуцента Бърни Топин Елтън Джон създава най-забележителната част от творчеството си през 70-те години. Негови песни от този период като Your Song, Rocket Man, Daniel, Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word са се превърнали в класика и стандарт в поп музиката.

Други негови известни песни от 80-те години са I'm Still Standing, I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues, Nikita, Sad Songs, дуетът с Джордж Майкъл Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me. За композициите, включени в песента на анимационния филм на Уолт Дисни Цар Лъв, за които печели Оскар. В периода 1970 – 1997 г. Елтън Джон има поне по един хит годишно, който се класира в американския чарт Топ 40.

През 1997 г., след трагичната смърт на принцеса Даяна, Елтън Джон и Бърни Топин написват нова версия на песента си Candle in the Wind (написана в оригинал в памет на Мерилин Монро). Джон изпълнява песента на погребението на принцесата и Candle in the Wind 1997 се превръща в един от най-продаваните сингли на всички времена. За нея той печели награда Грами.

През 1996 г. Елтън Джон е награден с Орден на Британската империя, а през 1998 г. е посветен в рицарство от кралица Елизабет II за изключителен музикален принос и активна благотворителност.

През 1988 г., след развода си с германката Рене Блауел, Елтън Джон открито обявява своята хомосексуалност.

В края на 2005 г. сключва граждански съюз с дългогодишния си партньор Дейвид Фърниш.

На 13 юни 2010 година Елтън Джон изнася концерт на стадион "Локомотив" в град София. През февруари същата година предизвиква скандал измежду британски и американски христяни, наричайки Иисус Христос "чувствителен и суперинтелигентен гей, който наистина е разбирал проблемите на хората". Джон споменава и че Иисус би подкрепил еднополовите бракове.
