Q: Looping through array of object in Vuejs for HTML select tag I've a array of options which I have to iterate to show a select tag. Array of options looks likes this:
options: [
            {
                doctor: 'Doctor',
                engineer: 'Engineer',
                teacher: 'Teacher',
                other: 'Other'
            }
        ]

And the result should looks like this:
<select name="occupation">
    <option value="doctor">Doctor</option>
    <option value="engineer">Engineer</option>
    <option value="teacher">Teacher</option>
    <option value="other">Other</option>
</select>

A: You have to use v-for to iterate the items inside of your options
<select name="occupation">
    <option :value="name" v-for="(value, name) in options[0]" >{{value}}</option>
</select>

If your options contain only one element I prefer to just do it like this
options: {
       doctor: 'Doctor',
       engineer: 'Engineer',
       teacher: 'Teacher',
       other: 'Other'
 }

now you could call it like this below
<select name="occupation">
    <option :value="name" v-for="(value, name) in options" >{{value}}</option>
</select>

to know more list rendering  please read this docs source

A:

new Vue({
  el: '#app',
  data() {
    return {
        options: [
            {
                doctor: 'Doctor',

                teacher: 'Teacher',
                other: 'Other'
            }

Take a look at some of our horses currently for sale. Please revisit this page regularly, as we are constantly chosing new horses for you. You can get more information about a horse and see a larger photograph of it by clicking on any picture.
BEAUTIFUL PRE HORSES AT VERY ATTRACTIVE PRICES.
We have chosen the best quality horses for you. Our main selection criteria are: Excellent health, an impeccable exterior and an irreprochable and friendly character. In general our horses have passed a veterinary exam and have been x-rayed before being imported to France.
You can profit from our close contacts to the Spanish breeders that we established years ago and from our great experience with Spanish horses.
For breeders we usually have interesting brood mares, some of them of excellent origin.
Pistolera is a well mounted PRE mare with pedigree papers. She is very affectionate and social with other horses. Pistolera has a good basic dressage level and is absolutely safe for cross country rides with a lot of experience. Pistolera is currently in foal.
Our stallions and geldings are responsive, pleasant characters, have wonderful gaits and extraordinary qualities, be it for dressage or for leisure riding.
Bonsai is a beautiful baroque fleabitten grey gelding. He has solid basic training an is talented for liberty dressage work. He also knows advanced dressage lessons like Spanish walk, Passage, lateral movements and simple change of leg. He is calm and very secure on cross country courses.
We always have some fillies to offer, some of them of excellent origin. And if you wish to break in your horse yourself, you should take a look at our young horses.
Iberian horses are excellent driving horses. They have a lot of energy and very strong nerves. We usually sell carriage horses on request as we have excellent contacts to drivers and breeders in Spain and France who could also train your horse in carriage work.
We are happy to regularly procure and offer horses which show extraordinary talent for circus lessons.
We are happy to procure horses for show and circus on order.
Please consult our price ranges (on top of this page).
During their stay at our stables, the prices of our horses may vary. Why is that? The better we get to know the horses, working with them every day, the more we find out about their qualities and little weaknesses. Our horses mean a lot to us. Therefore we don't want to treat them as merchandise. For this reason, we conciously omit prices for the individual horses on this page. Please feel free to inquire about any horse that interests you by filling out the form that appears when you click on it's picture. We will happily answer any of your questions.
A green or broken in horse starts at 4 000 Euros with no pedegree papers or at 6 000 Euros with papers .
A trained horse with papers starts at 8 000 Euros.
Starting at 12 000 Euros you will find well trained horses with or without papers, horses of special colour (Isabelle, black etc.), specially tall horses (height at withers more than 1.60 m) or horses for breeding.
We can deliver the horse to destinations in Europe. Please inquire about our transport fees and customs' fees for export to Switzerland.
The horses that we offer for sale were preselected by us and have passed a vetting including x-rays. They grew up with correct breeders in Spain, they were well fed and cared for and were comfortably transported to us in a very well equipped truck. Their papers were checked and they are already in France.
If you calculate the price of a colt up to 3 years (about 150. - Euro per month for food, worming, Marshal hemming etc.) you get already 5400.- Euros. You add the stud fee and the registration of the foal in the stud book you get a sum of 6900. - Euros. The transport to France needs to be added if the horse was born in a foreign country (from Spain it costs about 800. - Euros).
That's a young horse that has been bred and treated well for 4 years!
Unfortunately there are people who do not want to spend real money to purchase a horse which forces some breeders to save money on food, Marshal, the veterinary costs. Many horses suffer from diseases and a lack of food / vitamin or another. Unfortunately many breeders are forced to bring their products to the slaughterhouse because they can no longer feed them and care for them. Many professional riders are forced to do their work quickly so it does not cost too much to the owner. And again it is the horses who suffer.
We do not practice this attitude. We prefer to buy horses from breeders who feed and treat their horses well and who therefore require a better price.
Andalusian and Portugese horses are "late bloomers", they are full-grown at the age of six years. Often they are only broken in after their fourth birthday. Some of them do still look like a big foal at the age of five.
Their character is beyond comparison. Courage, intelligence, willingness to learn, a keen perception, a good memory and strong nerves are just a few of these horses' characteristics.
Their appearance is proud and elegant, they are sensitive horses that react to very subtle aids by their riders.
They are equally well suited for dressage, leisure and show riding. Small jumps are no problem for them and they are great cross country horses. Their courage makes them very safe and hard to unsettle.This is the reason for their being used more and more for therapeutic riding. They are my dream horses!
Iberian stallions are known for their good behaviour. But, since not all stables do accept stallions we provide the service to have your horse gelded in a clinic before delivery. Even fully grown-up stallions can be gelded and need about two months to change their attitude.


Needing a landing ship somewhere between the size and displacement of an LCI (Landing Craft, Infantry) and an LST (Landing Ship, Tank), the Navy turned the problem over to its architects and designers who came up with the compact and maneuverable LSM (Landing Ship, Medium).
The Landing Ship, Medium [LSM] was an oceangoing tank landing ship designed to operate with LCI(L) convoys. This new design was derived from a combination of LST and LCT(6) elements, and was initially designated LCT(7). As the war progressed some shipyards only took as little as 53 days from the time the keel was laid up through commissioning.

Welcome sign in present day Waddington, New York.
Waddington, New York, is of interest to divers because part of the village's original industrial area was flooded during the construction of the St. Lawrence Seaway.
The text below is copied from the Wikipedia article.
Waddington is a village located in the Town of Waddington in St. Lawrence County, New York. The population was 972 at the 2010 census. The village is named after Joshua Waddington.
The Village of Waddington is at the northern edge of the town and is north of Canton.
The first settlers arrived around 1798.
The village was originally called "Hamilton" (after Alexander Hamilton), but was changed to Waddington in 1818. Joshua Waddington was a friend of Hamilton and one of the original landowners. The village was incorporated in 1839. When the Town of Waddington was formed afterwards, it adopted the name of the village.
During the construction of the St. Lawrence Seaway part of the village needed to be relocated and some of the old industrial area was destroyed.
The Waddington Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.

Crystal Hirschorn: The Future of Chaos Engineering: In Pursuit of Unknown Unknowns - Chaos Conf 2019
The following is a transcript from Condé Nast VP of Engineering, Crystal Hirschorn's, talk at Chaos Conf 2019, which you can enjoy in the embedded video above. Slides are available here.
[If available, include these] Twitter: @cfhirschorn
Crystal H.:	I'm the VP of engineering at a company called Condé Nast. I'll go on in a minute a little bit about what they do. I've been doing chaos engineering for quite a long time. And yeah, I'm going to share some of my experiences with you, but also where do we think chaos is going to evolve to in the future, and how can we pull things from resilience engineering into our learnings and practically apply them on a day-to-day basis.
So this is one of my favorite books that talks about human factors, system safety, resilience engineering. And the person who wrote this book was Sidney Dekker. He was actually an airline pilot and also somebody who's involved in human factors and system safety.
And the quote is "Complexity doesn't allow us to think in linear, unidirectional terms along which progress or regress can be plotted." So just for a minute there, just have a think. When we get on in a minute about root cause analysis and how ... In this book it talks about we have sociotechnical systems. There are a lot of parts to it. It's not just about the systems that we build, but it's also about the organizations in which we work, the factors that sit outside of that which have constraints on us and push us in different directions ... in our managements. There are lots of different factors to this.
But also like when we think about root cause, it often pushes us in this very linear direction of trying to find a single point of failure, which is probably a wrong way of thinking of it as well. I mean, given our systems and networks, it's very unlikely that there is a single root cause.
But yes, go read this book. It's amazing.
So I work at a company called Condé Nast. Often I get the question of what is Condé Nast? He was actually the owner of the company. The company itself is 120 years old. It was a publishing company, doing things from printing press and now we're doing the whole digital transformation journey. And you'll know a lot of these titles. I suppose Wired is a key one. We do actually have a couple of technical brands in our portfolio. But there's about 60 brands.
And just to give you a sense of the scale at which we run ... Sorry if this slide induces any kind of epilepsy, by the way. I do think it's quite a beautiful graphic, but it's kind of quite much. But as you can see, we are a global company. And we do have 500 million or so visitors per month across the globe. I think Dave mentioned a one-hour latency. We can't imagine the kind of latency that we have to deal with on a human scale, which is, you know, if I want to talk to my team in Japan, the Japanese engineering team, that's a 12-hour time zone difference. So it's very challenging. Sometimes resolving something can take a week, because of the amount of latency that we have.
We are running on Kubernetes. We use mainly AWS. We use some GCP for the data pipelines and data warehousing. We are also running in very challenging countries like Russia and China. We do have other CDN providers there. We're able to use AWS for now. But it's likely we'll be swapping to a multi-CDN, multi-cloud environment. And that's why we chose actually to use Kubernetes in the first place. It's mainly Node, React and JavaScript is the stack as well. And we use Fastly CDN in most places, which I think is also a really amazing CDN.
So my talk was about trying to identify an unknown unknowns, right? So I want to try and talk to you about what does this mean. So a lot of you probably have seen this before. So we have things that ... In the middle we have disorder. But there are different ... This quadrant kind of shows, okay, we have the very complex, which is the unknown unknowns. We have things which are complicated, which are known unknowns. We have things that are chaotic, which are unknowables. And we have things that are simple, which are known knowns.
And kind of going through this ... So I think Dave mentioned this morning, again, unknown unknowns or the emergent practice, like our systems, our architectures, even the way that people behave within the system, are always changing. So the properties will be emergent.
Good practice is more in the complicated space. And what I would say there is maybe you could leverage something like runbooks or playbooks in this space. But playbooks and runbooks will only get you so far, that they can only ... You can only use them so much in terms of a disaster recovery.
Chaotic is more like novel practice. And what they say here is a lot of that's like tacit, implicit knowledge, not to invest too much energy in that because it's extremely unlikely that you would get much value from it.
And simple is best practice. So this is where you might have documentation, right? Or your tests, right? This is how I feel about this quadrant anyway in terms of what we do.
So what can we do to kind of experiment effectively? So there was a keynote speaker here last year, Adrian Cockcroft, who's the VP of cloud architecture at AWS, and he showed this diagram. And I love this diagram. I show it a lot in my talks. But I think this is really interesting way of thinking of it as well. We have multiple layers. And this is, I appreciate, quite a simplified example, but still multiple layers in terms of how we would want to perform chaos engineering and how we have people involved in this as well. And that's where you get things like game days.
There are more tools becoming available out there. I think it's a shame that some of the bigger companies are deciding to close source rather than open source some of their tools. But there is quite a lot more out there today than what was represented here last year.
So I think there are a couple of Dungeons and Dragons fans who might recognize the dice. But this is what you would do, right? If you're going to perform chaos, you would define a steady state and your control groups. You'd form your hypothesis. You'd run an experiment. You'd verify the results. You'd tweak them in some way. You might run them again. That sounds pretty straightforward. But what about ... How do you even define the steady state? Because let's think about our architectures for a minute and how they have evolved recently as well.
So here we have the good old LAMP stack, which is perfectly fine. I think a few people have talked about monoliths today. And I think a lot of us probably still have monoliths somewhere in our organization, if not completely. But you know, it was quite a simple time, really. It's like we had the application or a set of applications running on a single database or maybe a database with other backups. We had a server, web application. It was much more easy times then.
That's not the case today as well. And what I would say as well is I think there's been a bit of hate on PHP today. I spent most of my years as an engineer writing PHP. I don't think it's terrible. But I think it probably still runs 80% of the internet, and 70% of that is probably WordPress. So microservice is great and all that. We're still getting there. And PHP isn't bad.
So how have we evolved recently? So even as far back as five years ago, 10 years ago, we were doing things more on physical machines. A lot of us talked about Bare Metal today, still running things in data center. That's very much my case now as well, is that my teams in London tend to do a lot of things. You know, cloud-first principles, cloud native. But I look after 11 teams, 12 teams in fact globally. And they're running this across the data centers and cloud as well. So it's a whole mix of things. And of course maturity as well. There's a ton of legacy there that needs to be dealt with as well.
So we have the units of scale here as well in terms of physical servers going up to machines, virtual machines, then you know, applications and containers. But even serverless, which isn't exactly serverless, it's just somebody else's servers, but we won't talk about that. And the way that we can spin these up really quickly now, and the serverless, it's like it's a different paradigm. We still have to care about that, but we need to think about these different kind of properties and characteristics of our architecture when we're designing our chaos experiments.
So this is a view of our current microservices architecture. And I just want to say one thing as well about architecture. It's never a static thing, right? I think we're always on the path of migration with architecture as well. Once we get to the end of this microservices approach, I'm sure will be already migrating to some other architectural paradigm. And normally in our businesses as well, we have multiple different architectures running in tandem. It's not this one usually, unless you're maybe a really early-stage startup, if you have some amount of maturity and legacy, there will be multiple different paradigms.
So we started moving to this microservices approach from a service-oriented approach about sort of 18 months ago. And at the minute, this is a slightly old picture, but we have now about 40 or 50 microservices running. I was going to point out as well, this is taken from Datadog. So I do quite like their APM, which gives you this nice trace, this nice trace of the architecture.
Also running Kubernetes, we have a service mesh, which runs on the control plane. And as you can see, it's quite a complicated architecture. You've got your services which are fronted by proxies, which also get configuration from different things like their TLS certificates, their configuration and also any other type of data that it needs basically for telemetry.
And then we have serverless as well. And serverless has lots of different types of paradigms. So you can do things just synchronously, just push. You can do things asynchronously through multiple requests using Lambda functions. This is quite good for us as well because we have a lot of Node developers. And I think serverless is quite nice for application/product developers to get used to because it fits into paradigms that we're already quite used to in terms of evented architecture. And then you have things like streaming as well.
And then again, another thing that we have where I work as well, we have a big portfolio of brands that run in multiple markets across the globe. So we decided when we built our platform that we would go multi-tenant as well in terms of web application.
And I think a lot of times when I hear people talk about chaos engineering, they focus a lot on the lower levels of the architecture around networking, switching, infrastructure attacks that you can do. But there's a lot of complexity in the application layers themselves and even up to the, you know, right to the edge nodes as well with the CDN caching.
We're quite lucky as a company because as a publisher, our content can have very long TTLs. So we can actually serve stale for quite long time. But it depends on your company, right? So that's the thing you have to bear in mind, is what kind of products or do you have? What kind of needs do your customers have? An eCommerce business would have a very different set of needs in terms of the experiments they need to run. And recently we did have a platform outage, which I'm going to talk about in a second, but because we've gone from this multi-tenant architecture, which is great in a lot of ways, it actually ended up affecting something like 25 of our websites because of the sort of shared architecture.
And then if we go up further the stack, so micro-frontends is taking on more of a sort of a trend at the minute. And this is sort of identifying how can we use something like the service-side approach that microservices and apply it to frontends? And this is something we're starting to do as well where I work. And a lot of big companies are starting to do this as well. It's becoming ... The complexity is on both sides. It's on the client. It's on the server. And we can't keep ignoring this as well.
So I think somebody asked a really good question at one of the most recent events I was at, which was Chaos Community Day in London. And they said, "How do you chaos test frontend, like your frontend architecture?" And it got me thinking. I don't think that this question comes often enough or that people are talking about this often enough. But at the minute, yeah, as you can see, there are a lot of JavaScript frameworks which already do this.
So I'm just going to tell a quick story about a platform outage that we had at work. This is quite recent. I think this was in late August. We do have outages, of course, like everyone. But I think it's just interesting to ... I don't tend to go into Slack and follow people when it's happening. But I always love to go back and review what actually happened and just see how do people react and how do they figure out tacitly this knowledge that they have in their heads? How did they work this out and who's playing what role as the thing's unfolding?
And as you can see, somebody's suddenly saying, "Oh, I'm starting to see DNS errors." Well, for a start, hopefully we'd have some alerting in place that would have told us that first. But we all know in practice that doesn't always happen.
And then we started seeing this error 503 actually coming into the browser, which is really bad user experience. And this was affecting, again, like I said before, 25 of the sites that we run. And it was kind of intermittent, which is always the best kind of failure, right?
And then you can start to see people are saying, "Okay, well, it only affects 8.5% of the requests. Some of them are 404s. Some are 503s. And they keep going through like, okay, let's see ... You can see gradual ramp up. Somebody identified that it started two hours before anyone started talking about it in Slack.
And then we move it over to an incident room. So like you would do with an incident process, we move it to an incident room so that people can go in there and not cloud up another channel with the conversation. So yeah, carries on.
One thing I wanted to point out is this person ... You know how incidents go. This guy's on holiday, but he still decided to go in there and have a look. We're like moths to a flame when there is an incident. It's like, "Oh, it's quite exciting. Going to jump in there and help." But it's kind of also causes more chaos as well.
So somebody actually wrote here a hypothesis. Here's a hypothesis of what's going wrong. Sort of like an out-of-memory, a crash is happening. It turns out they weren't that far wrong.
And so, yeah, different things were tried. But in the end, one of the things that we found is that Kubernetes can be a bit too ... It can make too many requests for things. And I don't know fully what happened, but it sounds like when it should have been making two requests, it was actually making about 15 to 20 requests. And it was doing this also on IPv4 and IPv6. So it was making like 10 sets of requests on both basically each time it needed to make a single request. And it just saturated DNS and just totally screwed up everything.
But anyway, so ... Yeah. I think in that scenario, it took quite a long time for people to play that out and to figure out where is the failure, but also like was it a single thing as well. So come on to that in a minute, like how do we identify actions? Because as you can see, people are trying to work out what's going on. They're using graphs. Some people are sort of suggesting what it could be. People are probably looking through SSH and trying different commands to figure out what's going on directly on the machines themselves. But I'll come on to that in a minute what kind of actions can you play out and how you can roll those into your experiments.
So there's been quite a lot of talk about tracing today, which is great. It's something I'm seeing more and more people pick up. And I'd say in terms of if you're going to run chaos experiments, you need to make sure that you're instrumenting your observability practices and things like tracing. It's not something that's a nice-to-have. It's a must-have. Please do not go and run chaos experiments if you don't have the observability to kind of back that up. You'll find your gaps because there will be gaps. But just don't go in there and start breaking stuff and being like, "Ah, shit. I don't know actually what happened." But yeah, you're breaking stuff. It's cool.
This is a really great blog post by the way. It's by a lady called Cindy Sridharan. I'd say follow her on Twitter. She's amazing. But also she talks about how to set up observability in distributed systems and how to do request racing properly. So, observability. I love this tweet, by the way. So yeah, this is how I feel every time I try to figure out what the fuck's going on.
Yeah. So one thing I noticed recently, it was during this outage we had, I was going to ... So we use Datadog quite a lot. I think Datadog's really amazing but almost too powerful in some ways. It's almost too easy to create extra dashboards and different monitors. I just remember going in and thinking, I don't even know where to start. Our dashboard had grown from a set of probably like eight different visual representations of different metrics to 60. I was like, "Where do I look?" So yeah, so we have all kinds of stuff, right?
So, like, this, this is not so tricky. This, I don't know what the fuck's going on. If somebody can tell me what this is showing me and what this is about, I'd still love to know. I'm hoping that the cloud platform engineers actually know what's going on. But yeah, so there's just a whole bunch of things here. I mean, this is looking a little bit more acceptable. And I quite love this feature as well. I think somebody showed this earlier, like the flame graphs that you can get as well from Datadog in terms of request tracing. And you can find all the tagging against that as well.
So I don't know if any of you have ever watched Halt and Catch Fire. It's an amazing series. I'd recommend it. It's all about what happened in the early days of Silicon Valley and how startups started. It's not based on a real story. It's kind of a dramatization. But it's a really amazing series so I recommend going and watching it. And this guy here, he's the product manager. And they're like, "Ooh, what's a product manager"? So it was like quite a new concept.
But this is one of the quotes that he said during the series. He said, "Progress depends on us changing the world to fit us, not the other way around." And I think this is true in terms of our systems. We build the systems. We're not, as operators and builders of the systems where ... You know, somebody said earlier, "Humans are fallible." That is true. But at the same time, we need to be able to mold the systems to fit our requirements and not the other way round essentially.
And just to give you ... This also is from a recent talk that I gave. So there's this concept of the sharp end and the blunt end of the spectrum in terms of what kind of pressures and constraints influence our work and our architectures and the outputs that we create as well. And this was created by two people which are really big in the field of resilience engineering called Richard Cook and David Woods. So again, please go and read stuff from them. They've written a lot of amazing books and white papers. A lot of them are freely accessible on the internet. So do go and read them.
But so one thing that I like to think about is there is a lot of outside influences, and we can't often control those, but they're there, right? So for us, things like regulations and regulatory environments is very important when you think about China and Russia. We can't get around that. And you know, we actually tested recently ... We need to be able to run a multi-region platform with different Kubernetes clusters. And we tried to send traffic ... We just did some rudimentary testing. We tried to send traffic to China. Different, just basic tests that we could run. But we found that it dropped about 20% of our packets, which is high. So then we started thinking, okay, well, what do we need to do here? Because we didn't expect that to happen. And do we need to actually set up some sort of direct connects there in order to make that work? Which obviously is more expensive. But we have this issue.
And a story I like to tell is the CTO in our China engineering team has been to the police station four times because of things that accidentally got published on the website. And he acts like it's just no big deal. He's like, "Yeah, I've been to the police station a few times." But for me, I'm like, "Holy shit. You went to the police station because you published something on your website?" But yeah, apparently it's just like this is what happens there. Anyway.
Yeah, and then we have all these geopolitical things. And when you run a global company, geopolitical things can have a big impact, right? It could be market dynamics in terms of economics as well. Sometimes we'll see in our markets, like the economics itself is crashing and therefore it puts existential risk on that part of the company, the brands that exist there as well.
And then you have things within your company as well, like what is your management like? What's their behaviors and their values? What kind of governance do we have in place? Can we make quick decisions or is it kind of like culture by committee, which can slow things down? You know, OPEX, CAPEX tradeoffs and pressures there. Your cultural norms. You know, are you a blame culture and a blameless culture? How do you deal with accountability? That sort of thing.
And management, right? Like now, me as a manager, because I was an engineer for a very long time, it's very difficult. Sometimes I'm lacking a lot of the detail. And it really pains me sometimes to be talking to engineers and feel like I'm really lacking that information. But we try to make the decisions that we think are best, but we're often without all information that we need.
And then, us or you as engineers here, you're at the sharp end, what they call the sharp end of the model. And I think one thing that people talk about is mental models. Our systems are now so ... We're not using LAMP stacks in most cases anymore, right? So our architectures are so complex that we can't hold them in our heads anymore. We just can't. It's just too, it's too complex. And so, the engineer that sits next to you might have a completely different view of what their mental model of the architecture looks like than you do, or even how the system's designed, what the inputs and outputs are, what the expected behavior is. And this is why things like chaos engineering and doing things like game days are super important.
And I think also another really key one here is esoteric knowledge. So there is a bit of research happening in resilience engineering called cognitive task analysis, which is how do people know the things that they know, and how do people gain esoteric knowledge in the work that they do, and how can we surface that up so that it becomes knowledge that we can share because often that is a very difficult thing to do.
But for me, in my company, it's like, you know, when we talk about Chaos Engineering, it's like, at what cost? And I think Gremlin have done quite a good job about talking about quantifying or using proxy metrics to kind of quantify what is the risk to your customers in terms of the monetary value. Maybe trust is another one. You have to think about what kind of customers are we talking about here, internal or external customers, as well. And they've written some really great blog posts about this.
But this is how I try to get sponsorship to do this anyway. And this is how I try to talk to my managers and the executive team in terms of getting buy-in. And I have been quite lucky anyway. I know some people here have said that as well, like "I have been quite lucky. My boss has been quite good at backing me up in order to do this." You know, I had the product director often saying, "They don't need any time. We need to just launch on this day." And my boss said, "No, just give them the time that they need in order to run their game days to make sure that they're happy with what they're doing." But yeah, you can talk to me about the long road afterwards, about how to get that.
Another thing that I think is changing and I'd like to see changing more is trying to take an alternative view and direction on post-mortems. And there's also ... I try to put a lot of research and things that I've read into my talk, by the way, as you might have noticed. But there's a guy called Steven Shorrock. Again, resilience, human factors expert who writes really, really well on this topic. And he talks about work-as-imagined versus work-as-done. But there's actually a few more things happening here. So, work-as-imagined. So we imagine how, in our minds, the work that we do or someone else's doing. There's also the work-as-prescribed by our managers or by other factors. There's work-as-disclosed, so what we might actually mention in terms of what we tell our colleagues, what we document, what goes into a post-mortem. And then there's the work that's actually done. So that's that esoteric knowledge that I talked about earlier as well, and how do we get that surfaced in a way that it becomes learning for the company?
And so, what do we do? So we started trying to change the language a little bit and call them post-incident reviews. And we actually try to make sure, not only just invite, but just make sure that there's quite a diverse audience that come along to our reviews. And that includes people from the exec team. It can also include people, depending on what customers it affects ... Like you wouldn't normally get outside customers, but we have commercial teams that we serve, editorial teams that we serve. We create platforms for developers. So we bring along product managers, designers, UXers. Just get them in there because they will bring a unique perspective. And also what's important to the product manager might seem quite at odds with what's important to the developer and trying to, I think what's somebody was saying earlier, it's like bringing business value. You know, it depends on whether or not the product manager is actually passing that information on in a way that can be understood and kind of get everybody aligned against a single mission basically and what they're doing.
So this was actually the actions that we wrote up as well. This is taken from our document. As you can see, a lot of these are technical fixes. And they're assigned to a team. And a lot of it was around CPU, DNS exhaustion. You know, I was also observing. And I'm glad that they put this one at the end, because I was thinking, Oh God, I hope they put that in there. But you know, it's like, how did we get to point where DNS causes things to throw a 503 and that's what the user sees? Because for me that's like we're doing ... You know, we could be doing better probably at sort of error-handling and error sort of bubbling as well and sort of capturing that before that's what the actual customer sees.
But you need to think beyond purely technical fixes. Because I mean, that's great, right? And I think that's really important. You need to be able to go back and actually identify whether or not you actually did that work. But what else could we do? What else can we do? So, you know, one thing that we tend to do in our game ... Actually, I'll tell you a story about the first one we did.
We actually did role-playing for a long time before we actually started actually breaking anything. So we kind of created some dummy scenarios and brought everybody into a room and said, "How would you go about fixing this?" And the first thing that became pretty apparent is like there were several services that people weren't even aware of. Some people knew about them and others didn't. And the way that people would say, "This is what I would ... These are the steps that I would probably take to even identify what's going on." They were all quite different.
And it actually taught me something about the culture at that time as well. Because we actually had somebody from the ops team there and we said, "Well, what would happen?" So it's something about like an image was on the homepage of vogue.com, like the image wasn't displaying and instead it's throwing some error. And then the person tried to remediate that. But by doing that, the operator actually made it worse. And then they took down the whole site and a couple of other sites as well, given the multi-tenanted architecture. And the person who is kind of doing incident commander said, "Okay, well, what would we do?" And somebody said, "We would fire them." And I thought, No, this is exactly the opposite of the culture I want to create. But it was a good way of like learning a little bit about the culture at the same time.
But yeah, one thing I'd recommend is doing white-boarding during a review. Say, somebody, okay, could you ... And if they don't feel comfortable, you can do things like one-to-ones with people and not do it in a room. But it would be good to get this point where you can say to somebody, "Okay, can you draw an architecture diagram of the part of the system where you think there might've been part of the failure?" And then you get somebody else to do it. And it can usually find that actually there are gaps there. And you can say, "Okay, well, maybe what we could do is get them to do a rotation on that team. Get them to pair with that team more." Find some way of bridging that knowledge gap.
A really common thing I see as well is incident management processes like we build this beautiful incident management process. It's got some sort of flow to it, like kind of a decision-tree flow of what to do. When it's actually the moment, in the moment, I find that often that process can break down. Or it's surprising, like the way that we designed it, in actuality it doesn't flow that well. And we have seen things where we've forgotten to communicate to the customers in a timely way and [inaudible 00:31:20] how you update that.
And this last one is a thing I mentioned before. Too many graphs to be able to even discern what's going on. There's just too much information. We need to kind of hone in on what's important. And sometimes if you have too much of a wealth of information, it becomes more of a hindrance than a help.
Okay, so I think a few people have mentioned Casey Rosenthal, who kind of wrote about Chaos Engineering, set the principles of Chaos Engineering. This isn't one of our pipelines. I took this from the internet. But we do use CircleCI. And CircleCI is really great because it allows development teams, product teams to create their own pipelines for CI/CD. And so we have a lot of different pipelines, as you can imagine, and different steps to those as well, because they can choose to do where they want. That does create a bit of extra complexity. But one thing that Casey talks about as well is can we build in something called continuous verification into our pipelines as well? CI/CD is great, but instead of trying to validate the internals of our architecture, can we actually verify the inputs and outputs that we expect on a continuous basis and even run our experiments through that pipeline continuously?
So I had ... I mean, I do look around quite a lot. But I have observed as well that there is quite a bit of tooling and there are tool chains out there. If you choose to kind of go your own path, maybe not use something like a commoditized service like Gremlin, hosted servers like Gremlin, it does take a bit of work. We did try this at work before we went and used Gremlin. We did try to set up a tool chain separately and see what the effort was. But one thing I saw was it relies heavily on Java. A lot of these services are Java-based, which isn't so good if you're running a Node set of applications. So, yeah, I guess one of my asks would be please contribute to the open-source community. But it would be good to see other languages being supported there a bit more as well. Yeah, we would love to do more application-level fault injection, but at the minute there isn't so much tooling there to support that.
And I wanted to plug someone that I have been speaking to at this conference and is a really sort of amazing writer on the subject and knows a lot about the subject. His name is Adrian, and he's a principal architect at AWS. And he wrote a lot about some of these things that you can do that have been open-sourced.
So there is something that AWS has, which is called the system manager, which you can go in, and you can actually run chaos experiments across different parts of your stack. All kinds of things like kill switches, infrastructure attacks, DNS. There's lots different attacks. And this is something you can do if you're running on AWS that I think isn't that ... I wanted to bring it up because it's not that well-exposed. I didn't even know about it until yesterday or today. And I think this is great because this allows us to do the kind of attacks programmatically through our own teams. And actually I've been told as well you can run it on a container and other clouds as well. It doesn't have to be just AWS.
But yeah, do find Adrian. He is here somewhere today. Yeah.
And this is one of my last slides. So I guess for me, I think it was great to hear Gremlin announce their scenarios, because this is kind of how I'd like to see things move as well, is being able to run a multi-vector attack. Because again, the root-cause fallacy, like there usually isn't a single root cause. It's normally maybe something happened. Maybe there was a gradual memory leak in your application which caused knock-on effects somewhere else and then it caused another effect over here. And actually what you want to see is maybe doing something like this, kind of hitting lots of things, either linearly or all at the same time, just concurrently, and seeing what happens basically, but also to be able to do this in a really more random way.
Because I think that the problem that we often have with Chaos Engineering is that in order to create experiments, they're fairly contrived. You have to imagine what could happen upfront. But is that true to experience? Usually the point in chaos is that it's fundamentally surprising to us. We think that we have risk under control. We think that we know what could fail. But usually in an incident, it's surprising. That's the nature of it. It should be surprising. Or even in the near misses, they say to pay attention to near misses as well, where you went ... That could've blown up into something really big. But I do think we need to get to a point where we can evolve this to be very sort of, yeah, randomly generated or stochastic as they say.
And this is my last slide. So any time you hear this song again, I hope this is what you hear. "It's stochastic. It's fantastic." But yeah. And yeah, I think that's it for me. So, yeah. Thank you.

Urban Onion: The City of Beaverton Seeks Livable Core
By: JEANETTE SCHUSTER
The latest efforts to transform the City of Beaverton into…well, Portland, apparently shape the city into an onion, made up of distinct layers. The outer layer, formed from offices and residential developments, encloses the inner core areas of the library, transit center, Broadway, and Old Town. Under proposal is an additional outer layer, or "skin," consisting of a "transportation loop" that would run through Hall Boulevard and Watson Avenue and feature bike facilities and wider sidewalks. The elongated North-South loop would intersect with a number of pedestrian paths running East-West, forming the backbone of the downtown.
At the heart of Beaverton's supposed development problem is that the city doesn't have enough of an "urban feel," consisting too much of suburban office parks and corporate campuses.
Dampening the development fever of city planners and developers is the rising cost of asphalt and steel — rising in part because of President Trump's tariffs.
Add to these new plans Beaverton's future arts center — the Patricia Reser Center for the Arts (in The Round — SW Hall and Watson), which was financed partially by a $13 million dollar donation to the Beaverton Arts Foundation by Pat Reser (through the Reser Family Foundation) — and the city could be entirely transformed. As currently planned, the Patricia Reser Center for the Arts will include a 550-seat theater, classrooms, meeting and conference rooms, a rehearsal and workshop space, an art gallery, an outdoor plaza, a café, a lobby, and informal gathering areas.
The design process is currently underway, and both construction and funding timelines anticipate groundbreaking at the end of 2019 with a grand opening in early spring 2021. It looks like it will be a beautiful space. Design photos can be seen here.
My hope is that with its sights on trendy urban housing, a livelier retail scene, and increased alternative methods and routes of transportation, the city doesn't lose sight of the wildlife within its bounds, which make the city a special place to live. I regularly encounter deer, rabbits, turtles, a variety of bird species, and other wildlife on my walks. I might be walking among corporate campuses, but they are still green and full of trees and surrounded by the city's wetlands, parks, and green corridors (as pictured above). The City of Beaverton prides itself on having a park within half a mile of every home, and the Tualatin Park & Recreation District manages the city's more than 100 parks.
As cities gobble up more and more of the country's and the world's green spaces, it is important to also usher in an era of non-development, a purposeful leaving-alone. Me, I'd rather watch an egret catch a frog than walk by a new trendy coffee shop any day of the week!

When Coaching a Cat the very first thing to get by way of the cat's head is that food is King and you are the provider of this magical and wonderous food. Cats typically become artistic, touching the goal with different elements of their physique. Many cats also look bored once they cannot determine what you want or when they're not hungry for the food reward you are utilizing. Nonetheless, do not quit hope – it's not completely inconceivable to modify your cat's conduct.
It's essential to realize that certain cat behaviors cannot be discouraged completely; they'll solely be formed into a type that's socially acceptable in your household. Within the video beneath, watch how cat behaviorist Jackson Galaxy helped New York Instances writer Stephanie Clifford educate her cat, Mac, to stroll on a leash.
It really works, and it simplifies coaching your cat. Over several repetitions of follow, give him a treat every time his rear gets slightly closer, until he is will get into a whole sit together with his rear all the way on the floor. Start by reducing the goal to the identical level as the cat's nose, but about 2 inches away from him.
Arthritic cats might have problem with stairs, or trouble climbing into high-sided containers. Cats dislike litter containers which are too deep with litter. Cats aren't as prone to be motivated by praise as canines. Quite than studying what conduct to not do, a punished cat usually just learns to run away.
The reward-based mostly coaching that works finest with cats aims to decrease damaging emotions, reminiscent of concern and anxiety, and enhance constructive emotions, comparable to pleasure and affection, by altering the cat's associations between these emotions and its day-to-day experiences.

World Record Solar Thermal Dish Generator Efficiency – 97%
World Record Solar Thermal Dish Generator Efficiency
New Research Into Solar Thermal Dish Generator Efficiency
The current record for solar photovoltaic cell conversion efficieny is about 22 percent. This is the percentage of the sun's energy that falls on the solar cells over the course of a day that is turned into usable electricity. Compare this to a coal fire generator which only is able to convert 6% of original coal in to electricity and solar pv looks pretty great right!
However there are other clean energy technologies that are significantly more efficient for example a solar thermal dush which focus the sun's rays to a single point with what is known as a reciever. This concentrated power of the sun is used to produce steam and the steam turns an electric generator making clean electricity.
Scientists at The Australian National University (ANU) have set a world record for efficiency for a solar thermal dish generating steam that could be used for power stations.
The team designed and built a new receiver for the solar concentrator dish at ANU, halving losses and achieving a 97 per cent conversion of sunlight into steam. This is an amazing conversion percentage even higher than nuclear fission.
The breakthrough could lead to the generation of cheaper base-load electricity from renewable energy and help lower carbon emissions which cause global warming.

Europe pledges €10m for cloud computing partnership
European Commission's new cloud strategy unveiled at Davos
Jennifer Baker (IDG News Service) 27 January, 2012 04:17
One year after announcing her intention to develop a European Cloud Computing Strategy, Europe's Digital Agenda Commissioner Neelie Kroes Thursday made a first cash commitment to the initiative.
Following the announcement of the European Commission's plans for the Data Protection Directive on Wednesday, Kroes said at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, that the time is right to look to the cloud to help Europe get to grips with its copyright and piracy problems and she announced a European Cloud Partnership with €10 million initial funding.
Over the past year the commission has held talks with cloud providers, users and consumers to identify the main issues that need to be addressed. "The results are clear," said Kroes. "Many still hesitate before the cloud. They worry: how do I know what service I am buying? Will my data be protected? Which providers can I trust? If I don't like what I am getting, can I switch providers easily? Or, if I really don't like what I'm getting, can I easily enforce the contract through legal action? "
The problems, Kroes said, are most acute for smaller companies. "They are the ones who stand to benefit the most from the cloud -- but who don't have a lot of spending power, nor resources for individual negotiations with cloud suppliers," she said.
Kroes says she is determined to overcome these barriers through a European Cloud Partnership that will look at common requirements for cloud procurement and come up with standards that ensure security and competition.
"I expect good progress in setting it up in 2012 and first results in 2013," Kroes said.
Consumer advocacy group Digital Europe welcomed Thursday's announcement. "Cloud computing has the potential to enable better public services for less cost," said John Higgins, Digital Europe Director General, in an emailed statement. "Widespread adoption in the public sector will drive awareness, trust and confidence in cloud services which in turn will be good for the European cloud services market."

Citation: Yennamalli, R.M., Wolt, J.D., Sen, T.Z. 2011. Dynamics of endoglucanase catalytic domains: implications towards thermostability. Journal of Biomolecular Structure and Dynamics. 29(3):424-596.
Interpretive Summary: Thermostable proteins, specifically industrially important enzymes, are frequently studied in protein engineering studies. Understanding the thermostability helps in engineering to enhance protein activity thereby leading to a cost effective process. For biofuel production, enzymes currently used in biomass to bioethanol conversion are derived from microorganisms. Some of the limitations of the current technology are low yield and high cost of production of pre-processing enzymes, like endoglucanases. A more efficiently designed thermophilic endoglucanase to be inserted in maize will be very promising. However, thermophilic endoglucanases are poorly understood since previous studies to derive rules of thermophilicity focused on a large number of protein families, but not on particular folds of the same enzyme. In this study, we study the relationship and thermostability. We observed specific differences in the dynamic behavior between the thermophilic and mesophilic proteins, which suggest that cooperative dynamics play a dominant role in thermostability. These findings will help scientists to design more efficient enzymes for bioethanol production from maize, which will benefit the U.S. economy.
Technical Abstract: The function of proteins is controlled by their dynamics inherently determined by their structure. Exploring the protein structure-dynamics relationship is important to develop an understanding of protein function that allows tapping the potential of economically important proteins, such as endoglucanases. Endoglucanases play a crucial role in the production of biofuels to break down plant cellulose, which requires sustained activity and thermostability at high processing temperatures. Although tertiary structures of many endoglucanase proteins are available, the relationship between thermostability and protein dynamics in endoglucanases is not explored fully. In this study, we have generated elastic network models for thermophilic and mesophilic endoglucanases with the (a/B)8 fold in unbound and bound states with saccharides. The comparative analyses of the models shed light on the relation between protein dynamics and thermostability and substrate binding. We observed specific differences in the dynamic behavior of catalytic residues: while both the nucleophile and the acid/base donor residues show positively correlated motions in the thermophile, their dynamics is uncoupled in the mesophile. The kinetically hot residues that are usually found in the functionally important locations were observed to be located at the substrate binding sides for both the thermophilic and the mesophilic proteins, indicating that they are dynamically critical during hydrolysis. We also observed that the thermophilic protein contained larger dynamic domains compared to its mesophilic counterpart in some slow normal modes, which suggests that cooperative dynamics play a dominant role in thermostability.


The Conservative government may have just signed off on the end of council housing as we know it, as the controversial housing and planning bill was finally passed last night.
Despite 19 attempted amendments by the House of Lords and amid furious exchanges between them and the Commons, the bill – which could see over 20,000 council properties sold off a year – went through and will receive Royal Assent today.
The passage of this bill has been dogged by problems from start to finish, including debates in parliament until 2am, protests up and down the country and this final "ping pong" between the two chambers.
While the Lords repeatedly sent the bill back with amendments, the Conservatives dogmatically refused the majority of them – and with the bill falling under "English Votes for English Laws" (EVEL), any opposition from Labour has essentially been rendered impotent.
Small concessions have been granted, such as the highly controversial "Pay to Stay" rule being amended so as to exclude any benefit payments, and some alterations to the terminology of "affordable".
But really the bill is unchanged from what was first seen when it was presented in October last year; that is, a fundamental attack on affordable social housing, based on statistics and sums that categorically do not add up – mostly because there are no sums to quantify some of the Tories' propositions.
Take the element that will force local authorities to sell off its highest value properties and funnel the money to central government. This is being done under the proviso that these properties will have to be replaced by authorities "one-for-one". But these homes will have to be built from council funds – as the money sent to central government is being used to fund "Help to Buy". And none of this has been costed, so both the government and local authorities are fumbling in the dark in unchartered waters.
Essentially, the Conservatives are putting councils in a position where they somehow have to find the money from already decimated budgets to pay for housing for families in greatest need – while those who can nearly afford a mortgage get a leg-up. Basically off the backs of the poorest.
Furthermore, state-subsidised Starter Homes for private sale will have to be built on 20 per cent of new housing developments – which supersedes the building of social housing. On top of that, planning permission can now be granted to any housing development on brownfield sites – including existing local authority housing estates.
With the extension of "Right to Buy" and no guarantees on the number of social houses that will be built the bill does nothing for the most vulnerable in society.
To say this was an act of "Class War" might seem like hyperbole. But it may not be far off the mark, as the tangible housing crisis in this country is at near fever pitch as it is.
1.5m households (yes, households – not people) are on council waiting lists for accommodation; the "bedroom tax" still continues unimpeded with three-quarters of people affected cutting back on food to pay for it; to buy a terraced house in London you now need to earn £142,000 a year; rental prices continue to increase at a rate one percent higher than wages do, and homelessness has more than doubled since 2010 – with rough sleeping rising by a third in the past year alone, while funding to prevent this has been cut by 45%.
The passing of this bill essentially has sounded the death-knell for social housing in the UK and given the green light for what is little more than an asset-stripping exercise by this government.
At a time when serious remedial action is needed to counter what is becoming a catastrophe on one of the essential provisions in life – a roof over a person's head – the housing bill will do little more than exacerbate the problem.
But as is invariably the case with the Conservative government, the mantra appears to be "who cares?".
When 39% of Conservative MPs are landlords benefitting from the bill, however – are we really surprised?

RBA: $1.4bn in home loan switching over September
Australians have switched approximately $59 billion worth of home lending from investor to owner-occupier mortgages since July 2015, according to the central bank.
In its latest Financial Aggregates data for the month of September, the Reserve Bank of Australia found that total mortgage lending increased by 6.6 per cent over the year, up slightly from 6.4 per cent on the previous year.
Over the month of September, owner-occupied lending grew by 0.5 per cent to $1.11 trillion while investment lending rose by 0.3 per cent to $583 billion.
Property investor loans accounted for 34.3 per cent of all mortgages, according to the Reserve Bank's figures.
"Following the introduction of an interest rate differential between housing loans to investors and owner-occupiers in mid-2015, a number of borrowers have changed the purpose of their existing loan," the RBA said.
"The net value of switching of loan purpose from investor to owner-occupier is estimated to have been $59 billion over the period of July 2015 to September 2017, of which $1.4 billion occurred in September 2017.
"These changes are reflected in the level of owner-occupier and investor credit outstanding. However, growth rates for these series have been adjusted to remove the effect of loan purpose changes."

The Regency era is a wonderful backdrop for romance because of the contrasts. Outwardly, all was politeness, but there was tension in the lack of equality between men and woman, rich and poor. A great story can be built from such contrast.
I am an avid reader, and I just love "story". I waited until my 50th decade to publish a book, but I have been writing for many years; mostly plays. I am fascinated by the words people use and how their interaction with others reveals who they are. Words are my thing. I love movies and tv that are rich in clever dialogue.
I am a self-confessed Anglophile. Everything sounds better with a British accent. And while the mystique of early 19th century England fascinates me, I doubt very much that I could survive there. I am much too outspoken and independent.
I laugh about my first conscious foray into being a writer. I was probably 9 or 10 and sat down one day with a clean, empty notebook and began to copy from one of my favorite books, most likely the Bobbsey Twins (this, I know, dates me). I was so proud of myself! After realizing that copying a book does not an author make, I took a hiatus of many, many years. In my early thirties I wrote a mystery novel. Self-publishing in those days was mostly for suckers, so I sent off a query or two with the expected results – none. I realized something at that point, too. I was not superwoman. Now, I know women that can do it all, but I am not one of them. So, I concentrated on raising my family and doing the dozens of volunteer things that I did. There was one more stop on my journey; in my forties I discovered theater! My church had an active theater team and I joined. Not only did I act, but I began to write as well. To date I have written at least 5 full length plays and a number of smaller pieces. Finally, we get to the weeks before my 58th birthday. I lied, let me go back a bit. For my 57th birthday I had gotten a Kindle and fell in love. I began to voraciously read Regency romances. So I'm staring down the barrel at my 58th birthday and I just decided that it was time. I said to myself, Self, I'm going to write a book and I'm going to start with a Regency romance. Two months later, it was published. It may sound fast, but it was decades in the making!
I am definitely a "by the seat of my pants" type. I have a basic idea about where I am going, a general plot, but I really want my characters, as they become more real, to drive the story. My favorite part of writing is having the character come to life. I like to give the people in my head some leeway and control over their own fate. I feel like if I am too rigid with my plotting, the characters will get wooden because I'll make them say what I want them to say to keep my story line on the straight and narrow.
My greatest desire, truly, is to have my readers enjoy the book. I want them to be transported to another place and time, leaving behind the stress and worries of their day to day life. That's what books do for me and I hope that my books will do that for others.
Honestly, writing this book is a major check off my bucket list. And, perhaps, if I work hard enough and produce a lot more books, I'll check off another, which is living on or near the ocean!
"I shall never marry again", sighed Harriet Dunwoody, a faded middle aged widow, as she picked at her soft boiled egg. Her sigh was wistful, despite her disastrous first marriage.
"Nor shall I!" Evelyn Putnam, Lady Cavendish echoed with feeling as she piled her plate high with gammon and eggs from the sideboard. Her assertion, however, was exultant. One could almost hear the "thank God", though the ever proper and, perhaps, overly pious Lady Cavendish would never say those irreverent words aloud. Unless of course she was actually thanking God, which she did with frequency since the death of her husband.
Oddly enough, it was Mrs. Dunwoody that had been married to a vicar, not Lady Cavendish. Her late husband, the former Earl of Cavendish had been a profligate womanizer and drunkard. It was generally acknowledged that Lady Trent's extreme piety, for lack of a less polite description, was a result of her overcompensating for her reprehensible husband.
Mrs. Dunwoody's deceased husband, who had his living in Wiltshire, had resembled Lady Cavendish in his piety and religious zeal. In other matters he was simply a stingy, cantankerous old man, whose face would crack if he tried on a smile.
"One never knows what will happen. I would not make rash statements, as they are too easily invalidated by unexpected circumstances." Lady Whitcomb said with a quelling tone, her multiple chins quivering. She herself harbored hopes of romance and matrimony, though she would never see fifty again. Lady Whitcomb sipped her tea and took a bite of her fourth piece of toast. She was not overly fond of toast; it was simply a vehicle for the delicious orange marmalade made by the cook, improbably named Mrs. Kitchen. It would not be seemly to eat it by the spoonful.
Isobel Kennilworth Aiken, Duchess of Warwick spent 6 years of her young life in a loveless marriage. Now, at the age of 24, Isobel is a widow. As Isobel awaits the reading of her late husband's last will and testament, she feels no grief, but in fact is quite hopeful. She is eager to start her life anew. But, as the droning of the solicitor's voice washes over her detailing the bequests to various servants and family members, a shock awaits her. The "other woman" was not his mistress, but his lawfully wedded wife and together they had a son. Six year old Reggie is now the Duke of Warwick, displacing Reginald's brother Charles.

Q: How to solve for unknown symbols in a base-3 number system? Imagine that someone has a base-3 number system which is represented by A, B, and C. A, B, and C correspond to our usual 0, 1, and 2, but you do not know which is 0, which is 1, and which is 2. Assuming you can ask questions in terms of A, B, and C (such as "what is A + B + C,"), and you receive the answer in terms of the ABC base-3 number system, what is the fewest questions needed to solve for all of the unknowns?
Edit: There is no limit to the questions asked. The questions may include addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and the modulus operator. The only restriction is that it is in terms of A, B, and C. Thanks again.

A: One question: what is $((A+B+C)A + B)(A+B+C)+C$?
Because $A+B+C$ is the base of the number system the result will be $ABC_{base}$, representing $A(base)^2 + B(base) + C$.

A: I start with $A+A$.  If the sum is $A,$ then $A=0$.  If the sum is $B$, we have $A=1,B=2,C=0$.  If the sum is $BB$, we have $A=2,B=1,C=0$.  The other cases interchange $B$ and $C$.  If we just got $A=0,$ we need one more question, which can be $B+B$.
If we are allowed more complicated problems, I ask $AAABBBCCC+AAABBBCCC$.  If the sum ends in $C$ we have $C=0$, otherwise $0$ is the letter not in the ones place.  If $C$ is not $0$, we can identify whether it is $1$ or $2$ by whether $C+C$ carries into the threes place. It will be obvious whether $A$ or $B$ is $0$.

A: An alternative to others, what is $A+A+A+A+A+A+A+A+A+B+B+B+C$?

Q: Canvas section between two areas with clip So I have pretty annoying problem which I find hard to understand and fix.
I want to have section between two areas in HTML5 canvas - one is a rectangle the other one is complex figure made with lines (pictures below):

The red figure is the complex area and the below light blue is rectangle which has part of it on the red figure.
I want to visualize only the area which has both the read and the blue area (the pink-ish color at the center).
The best I can do is this but is pretty inaccurate because the figure is distorted somehow.

This is the result I want:

I really don't know what seems to be the problem. Here is the code for the FIRST and SECOND pictures:

ctx.restore();

Edit:
This is my real case scenario. This is the graphic I have:

And this is the graphic I want:

You can see the red and blue part which has lines inside is kind of incorrect!

A: Just replace the main section after defining the complex shape with:
//... complex shape defined...
ctx.fillStyle = "rgb(205, 41, 89)";  // set target color here
ctx.fill();

ctx.globalCompositeOperation = "destination-in";

ctx.fillRect(clipX, clipY, clipWidth, clipHeight);

This will build a mask only keeping the shape that is intersected ("destination-in"). Also set target color right away - do this using a known value or mix it on the fly.
Updated fiddle
Update to address the new information in the question - you can do this operation on an off-screen canvas. When done, simple draw that off-screen canvas back on top of your other graphics as an image (canvas can be used directly as image source, i.e.: ctx.drawImage(offCanvas, x, y);).

Gainesville isn't just a college town. Yes, we're a growing community that is home to a top-ten university, a nationally-recognized college and a world-class health-care system, but this is also a diverse and complex city that nurtures children, working families and elders of all backgrounds. All of our neighbors are on different paths and have a variety of needs from our city government, but every person of every age in our community deserves great parks and open wild spaces, clean, abundant water and leadership they can trust.
Every person of every age in our community deserves great parks and open wild spaces, clean, abundant water and leadership they can trust.
From Possum Creek Park to Ring Park, where we can follow the path of Hogtown Creek through a forest in the middle of our city to Northside Park and more than 20 other parks, in Gainesville we take our public spaces seriously. Over the past year we've added the amazing Hogtown Headwaters Park and begun partnerships with the Alachua County School system to turn Howard Bishop Middle School and Glen Springs Elementary among others into community schools where the neighborhood can share playgrounds and athletic facilities. Only recently we opened Four Creeks Preserve in partnership with Alachua County – more than 700 acres of conservation land open for the people of Gainesville to explore. But we're not done. We can't be done. Gainesville is growing, and our parks and public spaces have to grow as well. Our neighbors deserve them.
Literally nothing is more important to any of us than clean water. Sitting as we do in the middle of some of the world's best natural springs and on top of the Floridan Aquifer, with abundant water available from our taps via the award-winning GRU water treatment plant, we've often taken water for granted in Gainesville. To keep our water safe, we need to take steps to connect the thousands of homes in our community that are currently served by individual septic systems of varying safety to our municipal wastewater system. We need to protect our well fields from the potential of phosphate mines in the counties north of us and from overcrowded development closer to home. Our neighbors deserve our best efforts to protect our water.
Our community has chosen elected officials who have been honest and transparent. But we live in a time when there is good reason for good people to expect better things of government from DC and Tallahassee to our own City Hall. There's only so much we can do about the state and federal government, but closer to home we can implement changes that keep honest leaders honest and help the people of Gainesville keep and grow faith in city government. I am working on a creating an independent ethics review and training board here in Gainesville as some other cities have done. I am also working on creating a system to provide a level of public financing of our city elections. The ability to fundraise shouldn't be a barrier to becoming a city commissioner in Gainesville. These are ways we can build – or rebuild – trust in our city government. Our neighbors deserve leaders we can trust.

Queens Book Fair: The Story of a Great Literary Festival
By Dr. Dhanpaul Narine
The first Queens Book Fair and Literary Festival was a resounding success. It drew 40 authors from around the world to Richmond Hill, in New York. The writers read their works to an appreciative audience. The program also featured children and adults reciting poetry, making speeches and emphasizing the importance of reading and literature. The classical musical renditions impressed an audience that wanted more.
The Literary Festival was the first of its kind in the community. The organizers were unsure about the response. This was not the usual weekend offering for which Richmond Hill is known. But to the delight of all, the community came out in large numbers. The hall was crowded and there was standing room only.
It was interesting to hear the authors speak about their work that touched many subject areas. They ranged from life in the diaspora, history, politics, economics and religion, to Caribbean creolese and artistic expressions. The consensus was that the Book Fair and Literary Festival was a breath of fresh air, and was long overdue in a community that is known for its high level of literacy.
We present pictorial highlights, compliments of Suzanne Mahadeo, Prea Commevent, and others. The organizers are busy planning next year's Festival.

#38: Cold Mountain Report
Hi hi!
After sending off last week's letter, I raced around the house to finish packing for the climb up Cold Mountain. If you missed the first letter about the trip, the short version is: In addition to being the title of a book by Charles Frazier that was later made into a movie, Cold Mountain is an actual mountain located an hour's drive from Asheville. It's a little over ten miles to hike to the summit and back. I went with my friend Z. I've written a little about our friendship before (I call her by her first name, Angela, in that essay but when we're together I almost always call her Z., the initial of her last name). She's originally from Brockton, Massachusetts, and played on the girls high-school basketball team there back in the day, and she still walks a little like someone who was on the basketball team in Brockton, Massachusetts, in a period when the team was really good. Springy and resilient and fast. Z. and I used to work together at an ad agency, and she's now a nurse working in a high-intensity unit at the hospital. She is exactly who you'd want to see swinging into your hospital room if you were stuck there—and she's the sort of friend you can ask to climb Cold Mountain with you if you decided for some reason one summer that that was something you really wanted to do. When we got in the car together last Thursday, she said, "I have everything except a knife. Do you think we'll need a knife—to skin a deer or something?"
Spoiler 1. We didn't need a knife! Spoiler 2. We didn't make it to the top of Cold Mountain. We made it 4/5s of the way up, we later figured out. What we knew then was: we'd been winding around a rim of the mountain for what felt like a very long time and the summit still seemed a long way off. We kept debating. Was the summit just around the corner? It'd be terrible to climb for that long, turn around, and later find out it'd been around the next bend. I had pictured the hike going a certain way—it'd be hard but amazing; we'd get to the top; we'd take some pictures and have a picnic there, sitting at the top looking out over the other mountains. Then we'd hop back down the trail and go home. That was how it was supposed to go.
View supposed to reach. Photo by fo.ol via Flickr.
Meanwhile, it was getting later and later in the afternoon. There was no cell service and so no way to call and tell people we'd be late. The trail was easy to follow, but it was steep and rocky enough in spots that we didn't want to have to descend any of it in the dark. And while Z. was still springing along, Brockton High style, my legs were cooked. So cooked! 100% spaghetti legs. There'd been so much scrambling up hill and over rocks, they were no longer taking direction. In one section, Z. was up ahead, and I was following behind, all noodle legged and raspy breathed, and I saw something moving in the trees and thought "Is that a bear?" and in that shimmering moment I REALLY DIDN'T CARE IF THE ANSWER WAS YES. Not a single bit. (Lions tigers and bears, I'm too out of breath to care.)
So we turned around. It was disappointing and, in the moment, I had a terrible death knell feeling that turning around meant that I will never finish my book. The two goals—getting up Cold Mountain and finishing the book—felt deeply intertwined; because I've been writing and reading so much about Arctic expeditions, journeys and writing are all bound together in my head. That morning before I'd left the house, my husband had said something like, "Don't do that thing that people on Everest do where they keep going when they should turn back." I knew what he meant and that it was good advice ("Hey, don't end up in a Jon Krakauer book, okay?"). I also didn't want to follow it—it feels narratively messy to turn around. You're supposed to finish. Or maybe what I mean is, it feels narratively revealing. The part in the account that shows you lack something important in your character, some piece of inner grit or mettle, and that you are going to fail to be a hero in your own story. Not just today, but ultimately.
Five minutes after we turned back, it started to rain. Then to rain harder and harder. Lots of thunder too. Z. pulled two ponchos out of her daypack (she had packed everything!). We put them on. It kept raining. I stepped too close to the edge of the trail and sort of slip-skidded down the side of the mountain. Scrambled back up to the trail. Walked along some more. Stepped too close to the edge again. Slid down the side of the mountain. Scrambled back up. (Z.: "You're going to give me a heart attack.") We kept walking. It kept raining. The trail was no shorter and no less slippery-rocked on the way down than it'd been on the way up. My fancy waterproof boots filled with water and began making squelching fart sounds, which made me think of the Dorothy Parker line, "I was following in the exquisite footsteps of Miss Edna St. Vincent Millay, unhappily in my own horrible sneakers." Me too, except unhappily in my own farty, horrible boots. Although, when I thought about it, I wasn't unhappy. I realized as we were tromping along that stretch that I was, in some ways, very happy, if tired and muddy and a little wary of sliding off the side of the mountain again. It was beautiful out there, with no one around. I liked all the trees which were the kinds you only see when you get way up, and all the green, green rhododendron (so much rhododendron on Cold Mountain!), and the snail we saw when we were going up and coming down that I named Bert. I liked how we looked like PacMan ghosts in our clear plastic ponchos. I liked sitting on a rock when the rain finally stopped to eat a late lunch of warm Brie and Pringles. I liked bellowing jokes back and forth with Z. and making each other laugh.
So that's the Cold Mountain report. I tried. I didn't make it. It took two showers to get all the mud off. I banged up a knee and have a few surprising bruises. I had a great time. I wouldn't have missed it for anything. I'm ready to keep going in my own horrible sneakers.
The dispatch about "The Summer People" of Shirley Jackson and Kelly Link is now up over at Longreads! (Jackson's biographer Ruth Franklin was good enough to answer some fact-checking questions and so what's up there reflects more accurate information about when Jackson wrote "The Lottery" and "The Summer People.")
Also at Longreads, and related to this week's letter, Emily Perper has assembled a reading list of seven excellent hiking stories. She writes in her introduction of wanting to get into hiking to show herself that she can "rise to the occasion of living"—which, yes! That's exactly it. And finally—and spectacularly—if you haven't already been following along on Twitter with writer Rahawa Halle's thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail, you can catch up here. (One favorite thread: The pictures of books by "brilliant black authors" she's left at various trail shelters.) As of yesterday, she had made it to Manchester, Vermont!
