Another cool thing about TypeScript is the use of default parameters right in the function parameters. Take a look below and see how easy it is. I added them to the addPerson Method/Function but you can also added it to your class constructor. You can see default parameters in the constructor in my other TypeScript Tutorial and look at the Car class.
Jon is 5.1 tall and weighs 180 pounds.
Brad is 6 tall and weighs 180 pounds.
David is 5.11 tall and weighs 200 pounds.
Robert is 5.1 tall and weighs 180 pounds.
The generated code looks very clean and readable from the TypeScript compiler.
You can download the code below. Also if you like this tutorial please provide a link back to this page or my site.
Hey! Thanks alot for your tutorials regarding TypeScript! Really helps!

Landed Book > Newsletters > The Landed Newsletter No. 5, Mar. 2016
Newsletter No. 5 looks at policy changes in China; government budgets in Hong Kong and British Columbia; Foreign investment and Airbnb in Japan; censorship in Asia and more.
The Landed Newsletter highlights news and resources that you can use to make better real estate decisions, whether you are buying, renting or investing.
Your comments and suggestions are welcome. You can follow me on Twitter and on Facebook and learn more on our blog.
Canadian newspapers ran multiple stories about a practice known as "shadow flipping,"where a real estate agent uses an assignment clause in the sale and purchase agreement to resell a property before the first sale closes. Critics claim that shadow flipping is contributing to the rapid rise in home prices in Vancouver and there have been allegations that flippers are evading taxes. Readers in Hong Kong will recognize shadow flipping as a confirmor sale, which the Hong Kong government banned for off the plan sales in 2010.
Effective February 15, buyers of homes in Canada must make a down payment of at least 10% on the portion of a home's price that is between C$500,000 and $1 million. The minimum down payment on the first $500,000 remains at 5%.
British Columbia's 2016 budget featured several housing-related measures, including higher transfer taxes for luxury homes, tax breaks for Canadian citizens and permanent residents buying newly built homes, and a plan to track citizenship of foreign buyers.
The Chinese government introduced several measures to stimulate the property market. The minimum down payment for first-time buyers outside Tier 1 cities (Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Shenzhen) dropped from 25% to 20%. For houses larger than 90 square meters, the deed tax was reduced from 2% to 1.5% for first-time buyers nationwide. For second home purchases, the deed tax fell to 1% for homes under 90 square meters and 2% for homes over 90 square meters. Dwellings in Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Shenzhen, will continue to be taxed at 3%, regardless of size. Sales of homes outside Tier 1 cities that are held for more than two years are now exempt from business tax.
The central government also stopped releasing land for development in cities that have a glut of unsold property and increased the interest rate for deposits in the housing provident fund. It also prohibited local governments from borrowing money from banks for land purchases. The government announced that it would ban new construction of gated communities and open existing ones to the public.
China deployed fighter jets and surface-to-air missiles on Woody Island—which is claimed by China, Vietnam and Taiwan—in the South China Sea. China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi described the missile installation as a self-defense facility, a view that is not shared by China's neighbors.
In his 2016/17 budget, Finance Secretary John Tsang waived rates (property taxes) during 2016/17, subject to a ceiling of HK$1,000 per quarter. He also announced that the government would supply 280,000 public housing units between 2016/17 and 2025/26.
A homeowner who sold two small apartments to buy a larger home for his family won a court case against the Inland Revenue Department, which had charged him double stamp duty under the amended Stamp Duty Ordinance. The court found that Ho Kwok-tai qualified for an exemption that applies to owners who buy a new property for their own use after selling their previous home within six months.
Japan's population fell 947,000 in the five years ended in 2015, to 127.1 million. It was the first decline since the census began in 1920. From 2010 to 2015, Tokyo's population grew 2.7%, to 13.5 million.
In February, I met a senior official from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism who told me that the ministry is preparing several programs to increase transparency in Japan's property market and promote Japanese real estate abroad.
In February, Tokyo's Ota-ku became the first municipality in Japan to formally approve Airbnb-style short-term rentals. A similar program, which is known as minpaku, is expected to begin shortly in Osaka. A more critical view is available from Bloomberg, which sees the program's regulations as a tool to cripple Airbnb's business in Japan.
Kansai Electric restarted reactor 4 at the Takahama nuclear plant. Four of Japan's 44 reactors are now operational.
After a magnitude 6.4 earthquake struck Taichung on February 6, the 17-story Weiguan Golden Dragon Building collapsed, killing 114 of the 116 people who died in the earthquake. News reports—which include photos of concrete walls filled with empty cooking oil cans—claim that mortgage lenders and neighbors knew the building had a reputation for quality problems.
An economist on home ownership
In a brief post on Quora.com, Alex Tabarrok, professor of economics at George Mason University in the United States, summarizes the economic case for home ownership. The bottom line? From an economic perspective, you should rent instead.
If you've read my books, you know I am a big believer in research. Here's an example of what happens when you don't do your homework before purchasing a home. The buyers missed three key clues: a vendor who accepted their first offer without haggling, a home inspector who seemed apologetic and the cherry on top: the home's problems had been covered in the New York Times.
Censorship rising in Asia
The governments of Japan and China tightened control over the media. In Japan, outspoken broadcasters at TBS, NHK and TV Asahi were fired or forced to resign after allegedly irritating the Abe administration. Chinese authorities suspended the Sina and Tencent accounts of celebrity blogger and property developer Ren Zhiqiang for "posting illegal information," while the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced a directive banning foreign-owned media from publishing online content without government approval. The directive is bad news for news organizations such as Bloomberg and the New York Times that have invested heavily in building an online presence in China and comes on the heels of the continuing controversy over the disappearance of five Hong Kong book sellers.
Here's another concern for anyone thinking of adding the Internet of things to their home: government surveillance. In February, James Clapper, director of national intelligence in the United States, testified in that governments are likely to use the IoT to spy on their citizens. A recent study (PDF) by Harvard University echoed Clapper's assertion.
Virtual real estate
According to the New York Times, virtual reality has much potential for real estate agents and developers—particularly those selling overseas property—but isn't ready for prime time. Goldman Sachs, meanwhile, says virtual reality will be as transformative as the smart phone and predicts the VR market will be worth US$80 billion by 2025.
Over the Chinese New Year break, I read Ready Player One, a dystopian science fiction novel that industry insiders say offers insights into how VR could develop and how society could evolve with the new technology. Ready Player One was both thought-provoking and good pool-side reading.
New, lower prices for Landed Japan and Landed China
The print editions of Landed Japan and Landed China have been reduced to HK$288 (US$36.95). The Landed Japan ebook is now HK$259. To reflect the higher postal rates that took effect at the beginning of the year, shipping and handling for all books has increased to HK$80. Delivery in Hong Kong is by messenger or first-class mail. International delivery is by first-class air mail.
Landed Hong Kong reviewed
Landed Hong Kong was reviewed in the January/February 2016 edition of The Correspondent (PDF), the official magazine of the Foreign Correspondent's Club in Hong Kong.
Landed Newsletter No. 5. was published on March 1, 2016.

Just Zeroes and Ones
A Love Reborn
I've been playing the Final Fantasy XIV Beta Phase 3, and I am quite impressed with the changes which were made.
First off, the UI has been completely redone. It was my biggest pet peeve in the original iteration of the game. It took you too many interactions just to operate an elevator, and crafting was a nightmare of navigation through tons of tiers before you could make just one piece of an item. I had to use a controller to get any semblance of playability from the menu interactions, but then the combat hotbar was not conducive to using a controller. As a result, I was constantly switching between mouse + keyboard and my 360 controller.
Now all that has been done away with, and crafting has become very simple. You still have the same basic premise of using skills to affect quality/durability/progress, but the way you get there is so much easier. There are three columns where you choose the item level range, the item to craft, and then an optional third column where you can choose to use any high-quality materials you might have come across in your adventures. If you don't use the third column, then it's just two steps; pick the level, and pick the item, and you're all set.
The gathering system was thrown away and remade. No longer are you blindly hacking away at a tree or mineral deposit hoping to get a crafting component. Instead, a screen shows you what you are trying for and your percentage chance of getting a normal or high-quality item.
The hotbars have been re-done, especially for those using a controller. I started with keyboard and mouse, but soon switched to the 360 controller to see what had changed. The new cross bar interface is pretty slick, and allows for 16 buttons on the screen at once. You activate each half of the cross bar by holding down the left or right triggers, and then the d-pad or action buttons (A, B, X, Y) execute each skill. I even found it easy to quickly cycling between hotbar pages using the right bumper. I had tried setting up a PS3 controller to test that out and compare against my 360 controller, but there are not many good software interfaces for it. One option required a bluetooth dongle; and while I have one stowed away somewhere, it would be nice if a controller just worked through USB for once.
One last praise I'll give for the UI is the font which is used. It's much more sleek than before, evoking something of FFXIII's look. I did notice that the fills for the bars appeared to be messy as they animated. They are a few pixels taller than the regular fill, so it looks like the health, mana and tech bars spill over the outline a bit as they are filling up.
The environments have also received a facelift. I went back and started my 1.0 character in Limsa Lominsa, choosing marauder as my main class. Previously I had played a gladiator, but their starting city is now Ul'dah, and I had only spent a little time there so I wouldn't be able to tell what, if anything, had been changed. The town set up kept some of the same features, however some of the guilds which were there originally have been moved to other cities.
The areas outside town were completely revamped, much to my surprise. the repetitive copy+pasted geography is gone, replaced with areas which you can actually navigate and recognize by eye.
Chocoback!
The writing in the game is decent; the Westernization of the text obviously handled by people who have some actual storytelling prowess. Too often I find games localized for English where the dialog is stilted and boring. There were a couple instances where some light Game of Thrones references were made ("as useful as nipples on a breastplate"), and a good lot of adult language; cursing, calling someone a "whoreson," and so forth. Maybe it was just the sailors I was around in Limsa - it could just be regional. The one spot where it got a bit cheesy was a Metal Gear reference where a character was talking on a Linkshell and on the other end was someone with the codename 'Master Snake.' while I ordinarily wouldn't mind it, the scene was supposed to be dramatic and it brought me out of the moment.
The story is handled in such a way that your character's past, as well as their goals are shrouded in mystery. Even as you progress in the main questline, the NPCs ask for your help, alluding to the fact that you may have other interests. This keeps the doors open to roleplaying your character with their own agendas, and it's something that I think has been lacking a lot in other MMOs released over the last few years.
I got a chance to use the new Duty Finder, which allows you to queue up for a dungeon or raid while solo, or in a partial or full group. The Duty Finder will fill your party with players across all servers; you even have the option to specify which languages you will accept. Currently the options do not persist when you log out and back in, but maybe they will implement saving the states at some point. I personally don't mind playing with people who speak other languages, especially when it results in such fun exchanges as this:
"mom. 5 minuten."
I think my favorite aspect of the game may be the character animations. The characters move with real weight; they feel heavy in very a logical sense. When they smile, their lower eyelids come up and it looks very natural and genuine. I found a video on youtube that shows some of the motion capture work, but it mentions that the facial animations were done by hand, which really impressed me.
Now for the downside. I noticed that using a controller, while it was very convenient for most actions, was a nuisance when attempting to target anything. When I wanted to select something in front of me, it selected things in the distance. When I had something in the distance selected, I wanted to switch over to the creature right next to it, and it locks on to something right in front of me. When enemies are all bunched up on top of each other, it's nigh impossible to tell how to go about selecting anything.
I also had issues switching targets. If I wanted to pull a creature off a healer, for example, I found myself navigating over to the monster and only hitting it once. After that, my target returned to the original monster. I found that if I hit the A button after naving over, it locked down my selection. So that's just something I'll have to get used to.
I couldn't find the option to bind a key to assist a target, nor could I find a way to change how the targeting behavior works for a controller. The T key should assist my target, but if I hit anything on the keyboard, I begin typing in chat. Which is usually fine. I may just need to do a bit more research and maybe bind an /assist macro to one of my hotbars. I played mostly solo, or was the main assist myself, so it was not too big an issue.
When I first started the beta several weeks ago, I had to begin anew because my 1.0 character was not available. In one weekend I made it to level 14 on a new character as a thaumaturge. I could have swore I had made it to level 17 or so on my original character, but once I had access to him a week later, I found that he was only 13. So I had leveled up a beta character in one weekend farther than my main in the old game. Well, to be honest, I had at least level 10 in almost all crafting professions, so I had been spreading around the experience quite a bit. And since the crafting was maddeningly horrible before, I guess I was really punishing myself.
When I had access to my 1.0 character, I took him all the way through the available story quests (up to around level 20) as a marauder, and then began again as a lancer. Trying to find new quests was difficult, but the hunting quests for each class helps you limp along to the next milestone, provided you supplement with rested experience gained at the inns and food which gives you a mild boost to your XP gain. Each class has certain creatures tagged in a log book which, when you kill the required amount, net you bonus XP. Even the Grand Companies you join later give you hunting quests, and those reward you with Grand Company Seals.
Soon Beta Phase 4 will start, and all progress made during that time will carry over into release. It will mark my third time through the story. I don't mind it so much; the producer Yoshi P said that a lot of the story currently in game is placeholder in order to not spoil anything. There was also mention of adding voice acting to the game for the main story quests, though I wonder if it will be relegated to NPCs. Currently the main character is silent, but the animations are so expressive it really doesn't hinder the experience at all. If voice acting is added, hopefully the main character will remain silent but I wonder about the parts where NPCs address my character by name - those may not be voiced. In text-only dialog you can use variables so that the character's actual name is used instead of cheating the writing around by mentioning gender or class; variables which are more easily planned for. I would like it if I could turn on the Japanese audio with English subtitles; that would make for a better experience, personally. I found this article where Yoshi P states that players can choose whichever language they like, and I think that's an awesome feature.
I used to point at my Collector's Edition box for FFXIV scornfully, saying it was a waste of money. It was, at one point, the most I'd ever paid for a game where I'd invested the least amount of time. I thought it beyond redemption. I read the apology email from Yoichi Wada, president and CEO of Square; I read that Yoshi P was taking over... all of these things I dismissed. "The game is beyond saving," I thought. This is not true. I've played three beta weekends this past phase and I have had a blast. I look forward to the new classes, especially the Summoner, and I'm interested in seeing what kinds of housing options are available in the final game.

E3 Round-Up
I was going to write on E3 quite awhile ago, but I went on vacation one week, and then had to learn ActionScript3 the next week, so I got kinda busy. Anyway, here's a brief rundown of some of the things I saw.
Day 1 was spent primarily in the South Hall, as the West Hall was terribly crowded due to the fact that it had more playable game demos.
Every year, I take a picture in front of the Harvest Moon display at the Natsume booth. Unfortunately, this year there was no Harvest Moon display. Instead, Natsume was showing off a game called HomeTown Story instead.
This lovely lady had a basket full of plushies, but refused to give me one =(
Apparently they were handing out stamp cards at certain times of the day, and you had to play the games at the booth and receive a stamp for each one before you could get a plushie.
It's odd how some booths make you jump through hoops, while others just outright give you things. It's tough I know because quite often they run out of supply, and all you're left with are XXL tshirts. The nVidia gal came past me in line with a pile and said "XL?" and I shook my head. "Nope," I thought, I'm either a large or medium; depending on how much I want to show. She never came back. I had to hunt her down when it dawned on me that they only had XL shirts left.
Kneel before Gaius van Baelsar.
The most ludicrous by far had to be the Square Enix booth for Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. On the first day they were handing out tickets for a confirmed time to battle the primal, Ifrit. Two teams of 8 players would fight separate battles simultaneously as the crowd watched. Two announcers were on hand to call the action as it went down. If you failed the battle, you did not get their polo shirt. Sadly, we did not arrive in time to get any tickets on Day 1. But for Day 2, we were certain to make it our #1 priority.
Some MMO noob was about to get stuck with a controller. But the UI works surprisingly well.
On Day 2, they were no longer giving out tickets. Apparently they had technical issues with the game and it caused some battle times to be pushed back, and that led to people not showing up, which caused all manner of confusion. So there was a line. And with our positioning, they told us the wait was approximately four hours. It ended up being only about three, as some people gave up and left. Also, we were able to jump ahead because they were looking for a group of three and Matt, Ashley and I fit the bill. All the alliances I had made in line with people around me who assured me they knew how to play went out the window, primarily because Ashley had to go work the Forsaken Planet booth in 30 minutes.
Dracula, from the new Castlevania game.
Standing in line for three hours to get nothing seemed a grim prospect to me. I really wanted that polo. There were three of us, lumped in with five strangers; I had no idea if any of the others knew what they were doing. Ash and I ended up playing as healers, and Matt was on the Pugilist; a melee DPS class. Over the course of the three hour wait in line, we'd seen countless other groups fail or win. Sometimes, they'd get a chance to play the fight a second time, as there was an allotment of 10 minutes to finish the encounter. So I had hoped that the strangers with us had been paying attention.
Naoki Yoshida, aka Yoshi P, wished everyone in line luck... he said we would need it.
Thankfully, they were, and we beat the boss Ifrit on the first attempt. I was trying not to look a fool, as there were people waiting in line just half a foot behind me, looking over my shoulder as I ran around, avoiding the plumes of fire and throwing heals on the group. The screen I had was 30", so I had to turn my head to see the party members' health. My hands were shaking by the time it was over, but I was glad to have that polo in my hands. If I had lost, I was of a mind to just throw a wad of cash at the shirt person and demand they give me three. Thankfully, it didn't come to that. Also, I would feel like I didn't really earn it.
Elder Scrolls Online characters painted on the side of a trailer.
Some of my thunder was taken away when days later I found out that it was a scaled-down encounter; but you can't imagine a really difficult boss fight being played by people completely new to MMOs to be very successful. By the end, the announcers were giving not-so-subtle hints about how to defeat the different phases of the encounter.
Part of the crew, part of the ship.
My luck was also with me at the Skylanders booth, as I was able to win a Bronze Hot Dog on my first attempt. You had to spin a wheel and it had on it images of the lower half of different Skylanders. If you landed on the octopus tentacles it would complete the character and you'd win.
This gal has a lot of outfits.
I played a demo level of Final Fantasy XIII, Lightning Returns. The combat was pretty engaging; similar to the paradigm shift system of FFXIII. Lightning would change outfits on the fly as you switched between three different attack modes, each with their own power meter which was filling up when you were not using that form's attacks. It was fun, but without some kind of variation, I could see it being a bit boring. There was a commercial released recently that shows her in a pre-order exclusive Cloud-style outfit, complete with a buster sword. That's pretty difficult to resist.
Getting paid to cosplay.
I played The Last of Us, primarily for the tshirt. I was getting the game that Friday, so I wasn't in a hurry to spoil the story. I can tell you, the level I was on was very difficult. It was Pittsburgh, and I started with 1 bullet in the revolver. I think that even though the demo was re-started, it maintained the ammo count from the player before me, or something. I was able to blunder my way through the controls (I didn't read the placard in front of me), and beat down something like six guys, all wielding guns and bats. One guy I fought near a busted convenience store freezer door. Somebody got their throat slammed into some glass. And it wasn't good'ole Joel.
Here is the XBox One. Hooray.
We lucked out again at the line for Battlefield 4. They were using a ticketing system, but kept a standby line to fill slots for people who didn't show. It was amazing. The fidelity of the Shanghai level blew my mind. The towering skyscrapers, gunfire echoing in the distance. 32 on 32 action. I had an amazing run in a tank. A stranger hopped on the gun emplacement. We rolled around, blowing up other armored vehicles and infantry. The choppers did give us trouble, so I would duck under overhangs and avoid them. I saw a bunch of enemy infantry clustered in a doorway so I let them have a sabot round. Some of them lived and rushed out as I was reloading a shell. I quickly backed up, but was not fast enough. The had slapped some c4 on the front of my dear tank. It was destroyed.
I was at first skeptical of the destructible environments, but once I played I was sold. Seeing that skyscraper in Shanghai come down was pretty epic. There's even a 'Commander Mode' with a bird's eye view of the battlefield, a la Natural Selection from the old Half Life mod days. This is a game I could see myself throwing tons of hours into, and I'm not too big into FPS's these days.
I saw a demo of Destiny, which looks very cool. I like their world they've created. It also showcases destructible environments, but I wondered as I saw some towers in the distance being toppled by an alien drop ship, "Do the towers respawn? Or are they just knocked over after the first time someone does this encounter?" I do think that Tom Clancy's The Division handles party dynamics a bit better. I especially like the waveforms above the character's heads when they talk.
This looks much prettier than the devkit systems we have at work.
An intriguing PS4 title I played was called Contrast. You play as a cabaret-style gal in a 3D platformer, but she can meld into a shadow and it becomes a 2D platformer as you run across the shadows of objects in the 3D environment. I really enjoyed the puzzle elements of this game. I unlocked a new ability, dashing through shadows, and I could see that the progression of the abilities and puzzles was well thought out and would likely continue throughout the game, always keeping it interesting.
Matt in Rome: Total War II
I always enjoy going to E3 with my friends and seeing new games. This year I took the train into downtown, and was rewarded every day with a new crazy person story. The metro is definitely a great way to get around, but probably not so great if say, you're on a date.

Here is a simple, easy breakfast for those chaotic mornings. I like to use a vegan protein shake because I have a dairy intolerance, but feel free to use which ever you like best.
Garden of Life Organic Protein Powder in smooth energy or chocolate. It does not have a grainy texture like some plant based protein powders. The texture is smooth, and it is sweetened with stevia, making it a low carb option for those watching carbs and sugar. Smooth energy is my favorite because it is loaded with vitamin B 12 (2230%). It contains 15 g. of protein per scoop. It also contains essential vitamins and nutrients, probiotics, and is GRAIN FREE. With unsweetened coconut milk, it is 3 WWPP, minus the peanut butter.
Vega One. This is actually one that my husband really likes. It also does not have a grainy texture and has good flavor. It's sweetened with stevia extract and contains 20 g. proteins, greens, vitamins and minerals, fiber, omega 3's, antioxidants, and probiotics for just 160 calories per scoop.
I will make this smoothie for my oldest, using a grass fed whey protein and add raw probiotics and a magnesium/calcium supplement. I usually do not add any extra sugar other than the fruit, but will sometimes throw in a date for a little extra sweetness depending on how ripe my fruit is. If using dates, soak them for about 15-20 minutes in water. This will make the date break down easier in the blender without leaving flecks of dates.
I also always add in golden flaxseed. Here's why.
And this is how I put it all together.
Put all ingredients into a high powered blender and blend for 30 seconds. Check consistency of smoothie and blend again until well incorporated. Serve and enjoy.
Feel free to use whatever fruit, protein powder, milk, and add ins you have on hand or prefer.
What are your favorite protein shake powders?
I was not paid to endorse these products and the review is based on my own opinion and preference.
I have to try this! I already have most of the ingredients in my home too!

I loved this place. The apartment was huge, immaculate, well positioned and very well designed. It had a very large bathroom with an enormous spa, 2 sinks and a shower. The kitchen was superb, granite tops, well designed and fully equipted. The lounge room had a very large TV plus another TV in the bedroom. I think the bed was one of the most comfortable that I have ever slept in. There was a big balcony with a BBQ and a large ding table. Lots of different pools, one being a lovely spa. A very short walk to the beach. Seriously you cant go wrong with Pavillions 1770.
Pavillions on 1770, formerly a Mantra Resort, is a stunning 4.5+ star place that will blow your mind. Unbelievable facilities, air con, spa bath, multiple pools including a heated plunge pool, outdoor jacuzzi and splash pool and a lap pool to beat. Close to the beach - some of which is patrolled. Glorious throughout. Big open planned dining, kitchen and lounge area, ceiling fans, big screen TV, leather lounge and secure undercover parking which is great. A place you can come alone or bring the family for some serious R&R. If I get the chance I'll be back. Cheerful friendly staff too. Well done Pavillions!
Would recommend to anyone based on close location to the beach, self contained apartment with functional layout and great views! The two pools were also fantastic. Would definitely stay here again!
Rooms and facilities are excellent. We have stayed here before and will continue to return as it suits our family. The price was affordable and location was great.
Our room was great for a family like ours. We look for something self contained and the outside space was great for the kids to play in. Of course the kids love the pool and it was great that the beach was a quick walk away. The huge bathroom and roomy shower were a massive plus. I loved it. Our family are talking about when we can visit again. Next time we will stay longer!
The apartments are huge and the spa bath glorious! Immaculately clean and the owners were so lovely, cannot wait to return! The pool areas are fantastic, i cannot recommend this place highly enough!!
fantasitic apartment with excellent view and facilities. Lovely staff.
The resort is out of the way. No views from units to speak of. We were placed in a unit directly above the family pool and had squealing kids for much of the time. As a couple with no kids with us not ideal. There was barely anyone there so not like we couldn't have been located more appropriately. In house phone didn't work, 3 downlights out of order in the bathroom, no mechanical ventilation in a bathroom with no windows. The pool had a waterfall which drove us mad as did the droning motor that ran it. On from 6am to 7pm. Much better places to stay at Agnes Waters / 1770.
Amazing time was had by us both. Would go back again and take the kids.
We had a lovely three nights leading up to the Australia Day holiday. Whilst the place was high occupancy, it was not crowded. Mostly young families, and a few friend groups. We would go back for the right price. Around 6.5 hours drive from Brisbane.
Lovely apartments (stayed in three bedroom unit); beach just outside; and pleasant pools.
Very pleasant stay though central airconditioner didn't service main bedroom well.
My experience at pavilions was very enjoyable and relaxing. The pool facilities are safe and the grounds are just over a sand mound from the beach. The bathroom is huge wth a large, deep spa bath, however just be careful of wetting the floor tiles as it gets very slippery. The balcony is large and complete with gas BBQ. The open plan living and kitchen space is stunning and spaceous with recliner chairs for that extra bit of relaxation. The kitchen is well stocked with all the cooking utilities, serving platters, heat pads, cutlery etc that you'll need! Including food storage containers. My fiancé and I were pleasantly surprised with the size and comfort of the apartment. We'll definitely be back.


I kept the bright turquoise blue of the original and recolored another one to be almost the same deeper blue as the one in the painting. Lots of people wear blue, black or grey and I thought this made a print that would look nice with any of those. I created a geometric pattern by alternating them, which I also thought for a bow tie would give a print that was super wearable, while still being a little fun and quirky when you looked at it closely. This design was also built up of layers of pointillist-style dots and transparent colors.


Monetary policy has been extremely accommodative. As policy interest rates approached the bottom – the lower zero bound – central banks went so far as to expand their balance sheets, in conjunction with other unconventional monetary policies (Canuto, 2013). Chart 2 illustrates that by matching short-term interest rates during previous and current (the "Great Recession") experiences.
Why has the fiscal and monetary policy mix been so different? On the fiscal policy side, as shown by Kose et al (2013), public debt levels in advanced economies were much higher than in the past when the macroeconomic downturn took place. Public deficit levels had soared in the run-up to the recession, given the scale of financial support measures and substantial revenue losses. However, one may also say that a policy option for austerity was exercised. In the cases of the US and UK, financial markets were not imposing any substantial short-term fiscal retrenchment – especially if medium-to-long-term structural adjustment plans were to be announced. In the Eurozone, in turn, the intensity of fiscal adjustment in crisis-ridden members could have conceivably been lower provided that a correspondingly higher financial support from outside had been made available.

Q: Configure directory so that each new file has always same group ownership I have the following directory
$ ls -al
total 16
drwxr-xr-x  4 root  root    4096 Oct 21 14:50 .
drwxr-xr-x 24 root  root    4096 Oct 21 11:28 ..
drwxrwx---  8 root mygroup 4096 Jan 12  2022 foobar

Is there a way to configure foobar's permissions, so that each new file created belongs by default to mygroup group?

A: Setting the setgid bit for a directory should do precisely what you're after (assuming your Unix-like OS and/or filesystem supports it):
chmod g+s foobar

After that, the permissions should look like:
drwxrws---  8 root mygroup 4096 Jan 12  2022 foobar

If I remember my Unix history correctly, the BSD branch of the Unix family tree used to set the group owner of any new files based on the group of the directory the file was created in by default. On the other hand, the SystemV-based branch set the group ownership based on the primary group of the process creating the file.
In the strict old SysV style, the commands sg and newgrp would have been important tools when users were working with group projects. But then SunOS 4.x and System V Release 4 allowed the system administrator to use the setgid bit on directories to choose whether the BSD or classic SysV group ownership assignment style was in effect in that directory.
This "setgid on directories" behavior was adopted by several OSs of the Unix family, including Linux. But I think there are OSs that didn't adopt it (maybe in the BSD side, as the SysV branch's "optional behavior" was already their standard behavior?). And the choice of filesystem type might also affect whether this feature is available or not.

Backpacking and hiking are by nature are casual and relaxed sports. However, it is important to remember that the wilderness is totally indifferent to the presence of human visitors. While there are no forces seeking to harm hikers, there are none seeking to help them, either. So, one should have some hiking safety tips and rules while hiking in these areas.
While taking the right gadget, items and tents for camping or hiking are necessary, you also need proper water and food. And to find that we have made some safe water rules. These rules and tips will maintain safety while you going out for the rough and tough challenges.
In any kind of wilderness emergency-whether snakebite, a sudden snowstorm, or scorching heat-you are entirely on your own. Even if companions can go for help in an emergency, hours or days may pass before rescuers arrive.
Backcountry safety is largely a matter of common sense.
Avoid pushing yourself or members of your party beyond their abilities. Most twisted ankles and broken bones occur because someone was rushing to reach a goal or pushing a slow hiker. Any group can travel safely only as fast as its slowest member.
Plan your trail hiking trip carefully, allowing extra time to reach each day's campsite. In this case, you can also return to the car on a day hike. You may be distracted by a side hike or want to spend extra time on a mountaintop. If something goes wrong, such as a bad blister, you will have time to take care of the problem.
Plan for events such as sudden snowstorms, and consider exit routes where you can abort the trip early if needed. Carry a first aid kit and know how to use it. Take a first aid course!
Staying hydrated is important for proper and safer hunting.
One of the ways is to keep water with you, but carrying that much water for a long trip is quite tough. So, you need to collect it from the nearer water source.
The availability of water governs most backpack trips in Arizona. Most people plan their hikes so that there is water at each campsite and lunch stop and carry at least two quarts of water. Except during the winter, two quarts is usually a safe minimum, but in hotter weather or when water sources are uncertain, the safe minimum maybe four to eight quarts per person per day.
Although topographic and forest maps show springs and running streams, do not count on the water actually being there unless you have a reliable source of information or personal experience which indicates so. Many springs and streams dry up after long dry periods of weather. Be aware of recent weather and precipitation, and carry enough water to see you through to the next water source if one happens to be dry.
Keep in mind that it is unnecessary to camp at a water source. Many dry camps are more pleasant than overused, trampled campsites near springs. Besides, your presence may prevent wildlife from coming for a drink-which could be particularly critical during the dry summer months.
There are a number of reliable collapsible water containers on the market. With one of these, a hiker can carry enough water from the last spring of the day to last through the night and into the next day until reaching another water source.
And hikers who are not restricted to campsites with water can choose from a spectacular variety of fine campsites-mountaintops, open ridges, and forested glades.
Are All Water Safe to Drink?
It's sad but true that most wilderness water sources are no longer safe to drink. The exceptions are isolated springs and water flowing directly from a fresh snowfield. Increased human use has contaminated most other water sources, and many have been polluted by domestic cattle or wildlife.
Also, if you are in the desert, then you have to find the right source in the dryness of desert heat. And if you find that source, you have to check if, if it is safe enough to drinks or not.
Giardiasis, an often-severe gastrointestinal infection caused by a protozoa parasite, has received much attention in the past few years. Land management agencies and backpackers alike have voiced a great deal of concern over the problem.
It now seems clear that the protozoa causing Giardiasis is naturally present in many water supplies, including those of many cities, but is spread to wilderness areas by mammals, including man. Not all people are affected, but for those who are, the symptoms can be incapacitating.
Iodine tablets such as Globaline or Potable Agua will kill most organisms in water, including Giardia lamblia and its cysts. Use one tablet per quart (two if the water is contaminated with decaying organic matter such as leaves), and allow the water to stand for ten minutes (twenty minutes if the water is very cold).
According to the third edition of Medicine for Mountaineering, even resistant Giardia cysts are killed by the concentration of iodine released by these tablets. The iodine tablets must be kept sealed in their original container, however, since any moisture will release the iodine and destroy their effectiveness.
Water filters can also be used for purification, but practical filters require a pump for a reasonable output of water and, until recently, seemed too heavy and expensive for backpacking. Newer, lighter designs are becoming more available, however. Chlorine tablets are less effective on wilderness water sources because of organic matter in the water which is removed in city water systems.
Take things that you know your child likes. A backcountry trip is no place to introduce new foods. Besides the possibility of being rejected, a new food may create stomach problems, and who needs to be changing diapers every few minutes when you're ten miles from the trailhead.
Take knives, trash bags, can openers, etc.
It may seem strange to talk about hypothermia in a state as hot as Arizona, but much outdoor recreation in the state takes place in higher areas or during cooler times of the year. Especially in winter and early spring, sudden storms can drop snow on deserts as low as 2,000 feet and several feet of snow can accumulate at higher elevations.
Snow is possible between October and May above 5,000 feet and any time of the year above 9,000 feet and a number of hikers who were unprepared for such conditions have died.
Sun-Sunscreen is a necessity here in the sunny Southwest. Check with your doctor for a recommended type and then be sure to use it. If it's not too hot, dress the little one in long sleeves and long pants. And don't forget that feet and hands can easily burn, too. A brimmed or "Foreign Legion". a style that is a must.
Cold & Heat-Babies and young children are much more vulnerable to extremes in temperature. Take a first aid course and know the signs and treatment of heat-related problems, hypothermia, and frostbite.
Before leaving on your trip, get the immediate and long-range weather forecasts. Delay or reschedule your trip if a major winter storm is a forecast. Plan alternate routes and escape routes on longer trips. Learn to read weather from the wind and the sky. An experienced hiker can predict the weather surprisingly well from just these natural signs, and rarely does an approaching storm arrive without some warnings signs.
Learn, too, the symptoms of hypothermia and how to prevent it. With modern clothing and by layering that clothing, it is possible to hike in inclement weather with a considerable margin of safety.
For a safe and sound hiking, you need to keep some essential items with you. Keeping these items will not only save you from many troubles, but also will make it enjoyable and risk-free. But sometimes while making the backpack ready, people tends to forget one or two items and later that become costly.
Energy food like gels, bars, gels, trails mix, chews etc.
Introduce the world to your newest member of the adventure crew.
More and more hikers are heading to the wilderness with their children. Enjoying nature with kids is a simple, inexpensive way to spend time as a family.
For hiking with infants, Infants must be carried and toddlers can't go very far under their own power, but hiking possibilities are only limited by the parents' imagination (and strength!).
For infants, you will need some kind of chest carrier. You can find toddler hiking carrier, hiking with baby backpack items for this kind of jobs. Search for "camping essentials for baby" to find the right items for your infant children.
Once a child can comfortably support his or her head and sit up, then a backpack/child carrier is much more enjoyable for parent and passenger.
Many different brands are available these days. Look for one that has well-padded shoulder straps, waist belt, and child's seat. A good pack can be adjusted to fit different sized parents and kids and has a good restraining strap system so that the little one cannot climb out unnoticed.
And speaking of diapers, disposable ones are handier than cloth ones on a hike. But remember, you must pack them out. There are biodegradable diapers now available, but still, these should not be left in the backcountry since the decomposition process is relatively slow.
When leaving your vehicle at a trailhead, make sure that valuables are out of sight, preferably locked in the trunk. Don't tempt someone to break into your car. Ideally, leave nothing behind in the car and have a worry free hike.
Fulfill information. There is no doubt hiking is one of the most exciting outdoor activities. But first time hiking is not easy for every hiker. So, I think this content will be very helpful for the first-time hiker or every hiker.

Émile Joseph Louis Bender (6 September 1871 – 26 March 1953) was a French politician.

Émile Bender was born in Charentay in the Rhône département where his father was a wine grower. Educated in Lyon, he studied and practised law in the city while continuing the family wine business.

A member of the Radical Party, Bender became mayor of Odenas in 1901 and was elected to the Chamber of Deputies in 1907 in a by-election and again in 1914 in the general election. He served on several committees in the Chamber, including those concerned with labour, judicial reforms, the budget, and the commission dealing with civil and criminal legislation which he chaired.

He failed to be re-elected in 1919, was successful in 1924 and again failed in 1928. In 1931 he was elected to the French Senate where he served on the commerce committee, later acting as the vice-president and president of the committee.

In June 1940, he was one of the 80 who voted against the grant of special powers to Philippe Pétain and the creation of the Vichy régime. Following the creation of the Vichy régime he retired from politics. In his final years he lived in Nice where he died in 1953.

Q: Cumulative average for a specific value I want to calculate a cumulative average only if the value is >0. If I have a vector:
v <- c(1, 3, 0, 3, 2, 0)

The average would be 9/6 = 1.5,  however I only want to take an average when the value is >0, so in this case it would be 9/4 = 2.25.  But that average is over the entire set. I want to do this averaging as the data set builds and accumulates.  So, initially it would be:
1+3/2, 1+3+0/2, 1+3+0+3/3, 1+3+0+3+2/4, 1+3+0+3+2+0/4

My data set is 9,000 rows and its growing. I can get cumsum to work and calculate the cumulative sum, but not the cumulative average for a "success".

A: You can solve this by dividing the cumulative sum of v with the cumulative sum of the logical vector v > 0:
v1 <- cumsum(v)/cumsum(v>0)

which gives:

> v1
[1] 1.000000 2.000000 2.000000 2.333333 2.250000 2.250000

When you want to omit the first value:
v2 <- (cumsum(v)/cumsum(v>0))[-1]

which gives:

> v2
[1] 2.000000 2.000000 2.333333 2.250000 2.250000

The latter is equal to the desired outcome as specified in the question:
> ref <- c((1+3)/2, (1+3+0)/2, (1+3+0+3)/3, (1+3+0+3+2)/4, (1+3+0+3+2+0)/4)
> identical(v2, ref)
[1] TRUE

An implementation in a dataset:
# create an example dataset
df <- data.frame(rn = letters[seq_along(v)], v)

# calculate the 'succes-cummulative-mean'
library(dplyr)
df %>%
  mutate(succes_cum_mean = cumsum(v)/cumsum(v>0))

which gives:

  rn v succes_cum_mean
1  a 1        1.000000
2  b 3        2.000000
3  c 0        2.000000
4  d 3        2.333333
5  e 2        2.250000
6  f 0        2.250000

A: dplyr package have a cummean function. If you want only for  > 0, select value in v for v>0:
v <- c(1, 3, 0, 3, 2, 0)

dplyr::cummean(v[v>0])
#> [1] 1.000000 2.000000 2.333333 2.250000

if you want the results with repetition, you could play with index and a helper function from zoo.
# Create a vector container for the result (here with NA values)
v_res <- v[NA]
# Fill cumsum where you want to calculate it (here v>0)
v_res[v>0] <- dplyr::cummean(v[v>0])
# Fill the gap with previous value
zoo::na.locf(v_res)
#> [1] 1.000000 2.000000 2.000000 2.333333 2.250000 2.250000

it works with negative value in v too
v <- c(1, 3, 0, 3, -5, 2, 0, -6)
v_res <- v[NA]
v_res[v>0] <- dplyr::cummean(v[v>0])
zoo::na.locf(v_res)
#> [1] 1.000000 2.000000 2.000000 2.333333 2.333333 2.250000 2.250000 2.250000

You could use tidyverse too. This solution could be useful if your
data is in a data.frame.
library(dplyr, warn.conflicts = F)
library(tidyr)

data <- data_frame(v = c(1, 3, 0, 3, 2, 0)) %>%
  tibble::rowid_to_column()
res <- data %>%
  filter(v > 0) %>%
  mutate(cummean = cummean(v)) %>%
  right_join(data, by = c("rowid", "v")) %>%
  fill(cummean)
res
#> # A tibble: 6 x 3
#>   rowid     v  cummean
#>   <int> <dbl>    <dbl>
#> 1     1     1 1.000000
#> 2     2     3 2.000000
#> 3     3     0 2.000000
#> 4     4     3 2.333333
#> 5     5     2 2.250000
#> 6     6     0 2.250000
pull(res, cummean)[-1]
#> [1] 2.000000 2.000000 2.333333 2.250000 2.250000
