Surfing is all about equilibrium, no matter what board you are using – long, short, body or stand-up paddle board. Waves aren't only ocean based, you can surf standing waves in rivers or enjoy man-made wave pools.
Surfing is all about equilibrium, no matter what board you are using – long, short, body or stand-up paddle board. Waves aren't only ocean based, you can surf standing waves in rivers or enjoy man-made wave pools. In colder waters or climes, surfing is best enjoyed wearing a wetsuit.
Important parts of surfing are warming up and balance in order to stay upright, not to mention reading waves and moving quickly to catch the next break. If you're learning you'll be catching the foam heading shoreward. With loads of practice you'll be ready to head out and ride tubes.

Microsoft Names CEO Satya Nadella as Chairman
Nadella, who has been CEO since 2014, has helped convert the business into a cloud computing powerhouse in recent years, resulting in blockbuster revenues and a market valuation of nearly USD 2 trillion, as per CNN…
By I Kid You Not , in World News , at June 30, 2021 Tags: Kids news, news for kids
Microsoft Corp announced Chief Executive Officer Satya Nadella as its next chairman, succeeding John Thompson. Nadella, who succeeded Steve Ballmer as CEO in 2014, has been pivotal in the company's success scaling, including billion-dollar acquisitions such as LinkedIn, Nuance Communications, and ZeniMax.
In this capacity, Nadella will lead the effort to define the board's agenda, utilising his deep expertise of the business to elevate the proper strategic opportunities and identify critical risks and mitigation strategies for the board's evaluation.
Thompson, who took over as chairman of Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates in 2014, will serve as a lead independent director, according to the corporation. Nadella succeeds Thompson, who will retain significant authority as the lead independent director, including providing input on board agendas on behalf of the independent directors, calling meetings of the independent directors, setting agendas for executive sessions, and leading performance evaluations of the CEO.
Nadella, who has been CEO since 2014, has helped convert the business into a cloud computing powerhouse in recent years, resulting in blockbuster revenues and a market valuation of nearly USD 2 trillion, as per CNN.
In addition to these changes in roles, the board of directors declared a quarterly dividend of USD 0.56 per share. The dividend will be paid on September 9, 2021, to stockholders who were on the records on August 19, 2021.
A bit about Satya Nadella
He grew up in Hyderabad
His mother was a Sanskrit lecturer, and his father was an Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer.
Satya did a Bachelor's in electrical engineering from the Manipal Institute of Technology in 1988
He then pursued a Master's degree in computer science from the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee, USA
Worked at Sun Microsystems, Inc., in a tech role
Joined Microsoft in the US in 1992
He first worked on the development of Windows NT,
While working full-time at Microsoft, he earned a master's degree in business administration from the University of Chicago.
Now that we have caught up on the news we still have to emphasise the difference of roles as a chairman and as a CEO (Chief executive officer)
For the first time in 2 decades Microsoft has the same person as the Chairman and CEO, Let's see the difference between the two roles.
CEO CHAIRMAN
The CEO (Chief Executive officer) is the highest-ranking senior executive in charge of operations and administration.
The CEO is the company's main decision-maker and is in the authority of overseeing everyday operations and logistics.
The CEO is directly in charge of managing the company's senior executives.
The CEO appoints top executives and managers to head business unit committees.
A company's chairman is the leader of its board of directors or board of trustees.
Beyond the operations of a firm, the chairman guides high-level policy choices.
The chairman has direct control over the company's board members.
The chairman appoints board members to act as advisors to business unit committee members.

Take the tried and true old fashioned oatmeal cookie and add your favorite trail mix to create these chewy delicious Trail Mix Oatmeal Cookies!
Oatmeal cookies are my families favorite. So, they weren't that excited when I suggested adding trail mix to the cookie dough. Of course all that skepticism went away when they tasted them!
By adding trail mix you get a variety of flavors with an assortment of nuts, dried fruit and chocolate. This translates into a PERFECT cookie!
Cookies are a perfect treat for a picnic. They can be made ahead of time and kept in the freezer until the day of your event. Make an assortment with my Butterscotch Pudding Cookies and my Brown Sugar S'more Cookies.
The perfect backyard barbecue cookie!
In a large bowl add the oats, flour, salt and baking soda; whisk to combine.
In a medium mixing bowl whip together the butter, sugars, vanilla and eggs.
Combine and fold in the trail mix.
Use an ice cream scoop and place cookie mounds on prepared cookie sheets (6 to a sheet).
Bake 15 to 17 minutes.
Carefully take cookies off cookie sheets and cool completely on a wire rack.
Cookies are the best dessert for any party or picnic. I love that these are full of wonderful treats from the trail mix.
Mmm these cookies look super delicious!

Challenges Guides Interviews Tips
Defensive Midfielders in FM21 - All You Need To Know
Guides 03.02.21 Read Time : 3 Minutes
If you were asked to name the most important part of a car, what would your answer be? The colour? The size? The interior? The bodywork?
No - you would (or at least should) answer with the correct response: the engine. While a car can be big, small, fast, shiny or stylish, ultimately the key determining factor in a car's performance and longevity is the engine, and while often the more aesthetically pleasing aspects of a car get the most attention, it is, of course, what's under the hood that counts.
The same can often be said for football teams. Usually the players grabbing the headlines are the flashy, stylish or more creative players that contribute crowd-pleasing stats such as goals, assists, clear-cut chances, or a high xG. It's always much more exciting to watch or analyse a player that catches the limelight through their skill, goalscoring or technical ability, right? However, such rose-tinted spectacles often lead to one of the most important positions/roles being overlooked or underestimated (both in real life and in Football Manager), and if history has taught us anything, it's that often the strongest individuals are not those who show strength in front of us, but those who win the battles we know nothing about.
Let's see if we can change this shall we? Today, MaddFM has come to The Byline to look at the four defensive midfield roles available in Football Manager - the Ball Winning Midfielder, the Anchor Man, the Half Back and the Defensive Midfielder. These are the unsung/unappreciated roles which, on the surface, might be considered boring or unattractive (how many kids want a DMC's name on the back of their shirt?) but in actual fact are often the engine of a midfield and the driving force behind a team's performance. They can be the difference between success or failure in executing a well-balanced playing style as you attempt to conquer all in your latest FM save.
The Roles
When to use?
As is usually the case in Football Manager, there is no real right or wrong when it comes to role selection. There are multiple factors in play - the formation used, tactical style deployed, opposition strategy as well as the individual player's ability, suitability and attributes. Looking at these four roles specifically in terms of how they are intended to be deployed, they can generally be broken down as follows:
Of course, all of this makes for good copy, but how does this translate to actually deploying the role in-game? To test the theory and identify the true nature and success of each role, we head to the Bundesliga to analyse four players, who are 'natural' to each of these roles, simulating five games into the season and looking at how they individually contribute to their side and, most importantly, whether the role itself is effective as part of their team's tactic and playing style.
Ball-Winning Midfielder - Lars Bender, Bayer 04 Leverkusen
If we analyse Lars Bender's role as a Ball-Winning Midfielder in Bayer 04 Leverkusen's 1-0 win over VfL Wolfsburg on September 20th 2020, we can see that he made numerous tackles and interceptions in multiple areas, both in his own as well as the opposition half, closing down and challenging for the ball wherever needed and thus illustrating that requirement for excellent Stamina and Work Rate.
Lars Bender Heatmap
Anchor Man - Javi Martinez, FC Bayern München
In contrast to the Ball-Winning Midfielder, we can see that Javi Martinez didn't make any challenges or interceptions in the opponent's half during their draw with Eintracht Frankfurt on October 24th, instead engaging once the ball entered his terrority as Anchor Man and, by the looks of it, also providing some cover for Joshua Kimmich on the right-hand side of the pitch.
Javi Martinez - Heatmap
Half-Back - Thomas Delaney, Borussia Dortmund
Not too dissimilar to the Anchor Man, we can see that Thomas Delaney as a Half Back also didn't make any actual challenges until the ball entered his own half during their win over Borussia Mönchengladbach on September 19th, however we can clearly see a tendency to drift either right or left to provide cover for the likes of Raphaël Guerreiro and Thomas Meunier who played as Attacking Wing-Backs.
Thomas Delaney - Heatmap
Defensive Midfielder - Christoph Kramer, Borussia Mönchengladbach
Operating as a Defensive Midfielder in their draw with 1. FSV Mainz 05 on October 17th, Christoph Kramer's heatmap almost appears as a hybrid of the other three roles - in terms of challenges and interceptions it appears that he also tended to only get involved in his own half, albeit in multiple areas of the pitch. However, his heatmap shows that he spent more time in the opposition half than the other roles either holding the ball or offering an option in attack as well as defence.
Christoph Kramer - Heatmap
Looking at how each of these players performed over the first five games of the season, it gives an interesting insight into how effective they were from a statistical point of view. For Defensive Midfielders, we are mainly interested in their contribution in terms of tackles, interceptions and ground covered and each role produces varying results. The Half Back appears to cover considerably more ground per 90 mins, assumably due to the nature of the role providing cover for attacking full-backs or wing-backs, while conversely the Anchor Man has the least distance covered primarily due to the Hold Position/Sit Back nature of the role. In terms of tackles and interceptions, we can see the Ball-Winning Midfielder made by far the most tackles and interceptions. However, this came at a price as he picked up three yellow cards in the process, more than the other three roles combined.
Are Defensive Midfield players born or made? Once you know which role best suits your tactical style and footballing philosophy, it doesn't end there. There are very few players that are 'Natural' to this role as per the game's definition, and once you have identified the right man then it is essential to focus his training and development on refining and perfecting his ability in this role. Focusing on the required attributes outlined above is a start, although this can be further enhanced by identifying the key player traits for each of these DM roles. Depending on your preference, a Ball-Winning Midfielder can be trained to 'throw himself into tackles' or 'stay on his feet' when tackling a player - you better believe one will lead to more yellow cards than the other. Your Anchor Man will probably benefit from being coached to 'stay back at all times', ensuring he doesn't roam or go AWOL when needed, while in contrast your Half Back should be given a bit more freedom to move and cover other positions when gaps emerge, making their Decisions and Anticipation even more essential.
Whatever your preference, the more you put in towards helping your DM master their role, the more you will get out of it and the results should stand for themselves if executed effectively. While you shouldn't expect an overnight impact, establishing a strong DM in the spine of your First XI is a sure way to solidify your squad and maximise the output of this position - goals and assists are great, but nothing lifts the spirits like a good strong tackle in the middle of the park.
Good luck and thanks for reading,
MaddFM.

Learning Node.js Development is a practical, project-based book that provides you with all you need to get started as a Node.js developer. Node is a ubiquitous technology on the modern web, and an essential part of any web developers' toolkit. If you are looking to create real-world Node applications, or you want to switch careers or launch a side project to generate some extra income, then you're in the right place. This book has been written around a single goal—turning you into a professional Node developer capable of developing, testing, and deploying real-world production applications.
Learning Node.js Development is built from the ground up around the latest version of Node.js (version 9.x.x). You'll be learning all the cutting-edge features available only in the latest software versions.
This book cuts through the mass of information available around Node and delivers the essential skills that you need to become a Node developer. It takes you through creating complete apps and understanding how to build, deploy, and test your own Node apps. It maps out everything in a comprehensive, easy-to-follow package designed to get you up and running quickly.
Download code from GitHub
In this chapter, you'll get your local environment set up for the rest of the book. Whether you're on macOS, Linux, or Windows, we'll install Node and look at exactly how we can run Node applications.
We'll talk about what Node is, why you would ever want to use it, and why you would want to use Node as opposed to something like Rails, C++, Java, or any other language that can accomplish similar tasks. By the end of this chapter, you will be running your very first Node application. It's going to be simple, but it is going to get us to the path to creating real-world production Node apps, which is the goal of this book.
More specifically, we'll cover the following topics:
What Node is
Before we start talking about what Node is and why it's useful, you need to first install Node on your machine, because in the next couple of sections, we'll want to run a little bit of Node code.
Now, to get started, we just need two programs—a browser, I'll be using Chrome throughout the book, but any browser will do, and Terminal. I'll use Spotlight to open up Terminal, which is what it's known as on my operating system.
If you're on Windows, look for the Command Prompt, you can search using the Windows key and then by typing command prompt, and on Linux, you're looking for the command line, although depending on your distribution it might be called Terminal or Command Prompt.
Now, once you have that program open, you'll see a screen, as shown in the following screenshot:
Essentially, it's waiting for you to run a command. We'll run quite a few commands from Terminal throughout the book. I'll discuss it in a few sections later, so if you've never used this before, you can start navigating comfortably.
Node.js version confirmation
In the browser, we can head over to nodejs.org to grab the installer for the latest version of Node(as shown here). In this book, we'll use the most recent version, version 9.3.0:
It is important that you install a V8 version of Node.js. It doesn't have to be 4.0, it could be 1.0, but it is important it's on that V8 branch, because there is a ton of new features that come along with V8, including all of the features you might have come to love in the browser using ES6.
ES6 is the next version of JavaScript and it comes with a lot of great enhancements we'll be using throughout the book. If you look at the following image, Node.js Long Term Support Release Schedule (https://github.com/nodejs/LTS), you can see that the current Node version is V8, out in April 2017:
Before going further, I would like to talk about the Node release cycle. What I have in the preceding image is the official release cycle, this is released by Node. You'll notice that only next to the even Node numbers do you find the active LTS, the blue bar, and the maintenance bar. Now, LTS stands for long-term support, and this is the version that's recommended for most users. I'd recommend that you stick with the currently offered LTS option (Node v 8.9.4 LTS), though anything on the left-hand side will do, this is shown as the two green buttons on nodejs.org.
Now, as you can see, the major version numbers, bump every six months. Regardless of any sort of big overarching change, this happens like clockwork even if nothing drastic has changed. It's not like Angular where jumping from 1.0 to 2.0 was almost like using a completely different library. This is just not the case with Node, what you're getting from this book is the latest and greatest Node has to offer.
Installing Node
Once the version is confirmed and selected, all we have to do is to click the required version button on the Node website (nodejs.org) and download the installer. The installer is one of those basic click Next a few times and you're done type of installers, there's no need to run any fancy commands. I'll start the installer. As shown in the following screenshot, it'll just ask a few questions, then let's click on Next or Continue through all of them:
You might want to specify a custom destination, but if you don't know what that means, and you don't usually do it when installing programs, skip that step too. Here, in the next screenshot, you can see that I'm using just 58.6 MB, no problem.
I'll run the installer by entering my password. And once I enter my password, it should really only take a couple of seconds to get Node installed:
As shown in the following screenshot, we have a message that says The installation was completed successfully, which means we are good to go:
Verifying installation
Now that Node has been installed successfully, we can go ahead and verify that by running Node from Terminal. Inside Terminal, I'll shut it down by going to Quit Terminal and open it up again:
The reason I'm opening it up is because we've installed a new command, and some Terminals require a restart before they will be able to run that new command.
In our case, we restarted things and we can run our brand new command so, we'll type it:
node -v
What we're doing in this command is we're running the Node command, and we're passing in what's called a flag, a hyphen sign followed by a letter. It could be a, it could be j, or in our case it's v. This command will print the version of Node currently installed.
We might get an error like this:
If you try to run a command that doesn't exist, such as nodeasdf, you'll see command not found. If you see this, it usually means the Node installer didn't work correctly, or you haven't run it in the first place.
In our case though, running Node with the v flag should result in a number. In our case, it's version 9.3.0. If you do have Node installed, and you see something like the following screenshot, then you are done. In the next section, we'll start exploring exactly what Node is.
Node came about when the original developers took JavaScript, something you could usually only run inside the browser, and they let it run on your machine as a standalone process. This means that we could create applications using JavaScript outside the context of the browser.
Now, JavaScript previously had a limited feature set. When I used it in the browser, I could do things such as update the URL and remove the Node logo, adding click events or anything else, but I couldn't really do much more.
With Node, we now have a feature set that looks much more similar to other languages, such as Java, Python, or PHP. Some of these are as follows:
We can write Node applications using the JavaScript syntax
You can manipulate your filesystem, creating and removing folders
You can create query databases directly
You can even create web servers using Node
These were things that were not possible in the past, and they are because of Node.
Now, both Node and the JavaScript that gets executed inside of your browser, they're both running on the exact same engine. It's called the V8 JavaScript runtime engine. It's an open source engine that takes JavaScript code and compiles it into much faster machine code. And that's a big part of what makes Node.js so fast.
Machine code is low-level code that your computer can run directly without needing to interpret it. Your machine only knows how to run certain types of code, for example, your machine can't run JavaScript code or PHP code directly without first converting it into low-level code.
Using this V8 engine, we can take our JavaScript code, compile it to much quicker machine code, and execute that. This is where all those new features come in. The V8 engine is written in a language called C++. So if you want to extend the Node language, you don't write Node code, you write C++ code that builds off of what V8 already has in place.
Now, we'll not be writing any C++ code in this book. This book is not about adding onto Node, it is about using Node. So, we will only be writing JavaScript code.
Speaking of JavaScript code, let's start writing some inside Terminal. Now, throughout the book, we'll be creating files and executing those files, but we can actually create a brand new Node process by running the node command.
Referring to the following screenshot, I have a little right caret, which is waiting for JavaScript Node code, not a new command-prompt command:
This means that I can run something like console.log, which, as you probably already know, logs a message to the screen. log is a function, so I'll call it as such, opening and closing my parentheses, and passing in a string inside two single quotes, a message Hello world!, as shown in the following command line:
console.log('Hello world!');
This will print Hello world to the screen. If I hit enter, Hello world! prints just like you'd expect, as shown in the following code output:
Now, what actually happened behind the scenes? Well, this is what Node does. It takes your JavaScript code, it compiles it into machine code, and executes it. In the preceding code, you can see it executed our code, printing out Hello world!. Now, the V8 engine is running behind the scenes when we execute this command, and it's also running inside the Chrome browser.
If I open up the developer tools in Chrome by going to Settings | More Tools | Developer Tools:
I can ignore most of the things. I'm just looking for the Console tab, as shown in the following screenshot:
The preceding screenshot showing the console is a place where we can run some JavaScript code. I can type the exact same command, console.log('Hello world!'); and run it:
As you can see in the preceding screenshot, Hello world! prints to the screen, which is the exact same result we got when we ran it up earlier using Terminal. In both cases, we're running it through the V8 engine, and in both cases the output is the same.
Now, we already know that the two are different. Node has features such as filesystem manipulation, and the browser has features such as manipulating what's shown inside the window. Let's take a quick moment to explore their differences.
Differences between JavaScript coding using Node and in the browser
Inside the browser, you've probably used window if you've done any JavaScript development:
Window is the global object, it stores basically everything you have access to. In the following screenshot, you can see things such as array, we have all sorts of CSS manipulation and Google Analytics keywords; essentially every variable you create lives inside Window:
We have something similar inside Node called global, as shown here:
It's not called window because there is no browser window in Node, thus it is called global. The global object stores a lot of the same things as window. In the following screenshot, you can see methods that might be familiar, such as setTimeout and setInterval:
If we look at this code screenshot, we have most of the things that are defined inside the window, with some exceptions, as shown in the following screenshot:
Now, inside the Chrome browser, I also have access to document:
The document object stores a reference to the Document Object Model (DOM) in the Node website. The document object shows exactly what I have inside the browser's viewport, as shown in the following screenshot:
I can make changes to the document to update what gets shown up on the browser's viewport. Now, obviously we don't have this HTML document inside Node, but we do have something similar, which is called process. You can view it by running process from Node, and in the following screenshot, we have a lot of information about the specific Node process that's being executed:
There's also methods available here to shut down the current Node process. What I'd like you to do is run the process.exit command, passing in as an argument the number zero, to say that things exited without error:
When I run this command, you can see I'm now back at the command prompt, as shown in the following screenshot:
I've left Node, and I'm at a place where I can run any regular command prompt command, such as checking my Node version. I can always get back into Node by running node, and I can leave it without using the process.exit command by using control + C twice.
Now, I'm back at my regular command prompt. So, these are the notable differences, obviously inside the browser you have the viewable area, window gets changed to global, and a document basically becomes process. Now, obviously that's a generalization, but those are some of the big picture changes. We'll be exploring all the minutiae throughout the book.
Now, when someone asks you what is Node? You can say Node's a JavaScript runtime that uses the V8 engine. When they ask you what the V8 engine is, you can say the V8 engine is an open source JavaScript engine written in C++ that takes JavaScript code and compiles it to machine code. It's used inside Node.js and it's used in the Chrome browser.
In this section, we'll cover the why behind Node.js. Why is it so good at creating backend apps? And why is it becoming so popular with companies such as Netflix, Uber and Walmart, who are all using Node.js in production?
As you might have noticed since you're taking this course, when people want to learn a new backend language, more and more they're turning to Node as the language they want to learn. The Node skillset is in hot demand, for both frontend developers who need to use Node day to day to do things such as compile their applications, to engineers who are creating applications and utilities using Node.js. All of this has made Node the backend language of choice.
Now, if we look at the homepage of Node, we have three sentences, as shown in the following screenshot:
In the previous section, we addressed the first sentence. We took a look at what Node.js is. There's only three sentences in the image, so in this section, we'll take a look at the second two sentences. We'll read them now, then we'll break it down, learning exactly why Node is so great.
The first sentence, Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient; we'll explore all of this now. The second sentence we'll explore at the end of the section—Node.js' packaged ecosystem, npm, is the largest ecosystem of open source libraries in the world. Now, these two sentences have a ton of information packed into them.
We'll go over a few code examples, we'll dive into some charts and graphs, and we'll explore what makes Node different and what makes it so great.
Node is an event-driven, non-blocking language. Now, what is I/O? I/O is something that your application does all of the time. When you're reading or writing to a database, that is I/O, which is short form for input/output.
This is the communication from your Node application to other things inside of the Internet of Things. This could be a database read and write request, you may be changing some files on your filesystem, or you may be making an HTTP request to a separate web server, such as a Google API for fetching a map for the user's current location. All of these use I/O, and I/O takes time.
Now, the non-blocking I/O is great. That means while one user is requesting a URL from Google, other users can be requesting a database file read and write access, they can be requesting all sorts of things without preventing anyone else from getting some work done.
Blocking and non-blocking software development
Let's go ahead and take a look at the differences between blocking and non blocking software development:
In the preceding screenshot, I have two files that we'll be executing. But before going to that, first let's explore how each of these files operates, the steps that are required in order to finish the program.
This will help us understand the big differences between blocking, which I have on the left side of the image, which is not what Node uses, and non-blocking is on the right side, which is exactly how all of our Node applications in the book are going to operate.
You don't have to understand the individual details, such as what require is, in order to understand what's going on in this code example. We'll be breaking things down in a very general sense. The first line on each code is responsible for fetching a function that gets called. This function will be our simulated I/O function that is going to a database, fetching some user data and printing it to the screen.
Refer to the preceding code image. After we load in the function, both files try to fetch a user with an ID of 123. When it gets that user, it prints it to the screen with the user1 string first, and then it goes on and it fetches the user with 321 as the ID. And it prints that to the screen. And finally both files add up 1 + 2, storing the result, which is 3, in the sum variable and print it to the screen.
Now, while they all do the same thing, they do it in very different ways. Let's break down the individual steps. In the following code image, we'll go over what Node executes and how long it takes:
You can consider the seconds shown in the preceding screenshot; it doesn't really matter, it's just to show the relative operating speed between the two files.
The working of blocking I/O
The blocking example can be illustrated as follows:
The first thing that happens inside our blocking example, as shown in the preceding screenshot, is that we fetch the user on line 3 in the code:
var user1 = getUserSync('123');
Now, this request requires us to go to a database, which is an I/O operation to fetch that user by ID. This takes a little bit of time. In our case, we'll say it takes three seconds.
Next, on line 4 in the code, we print the user to the screen, which is not an I/O operation and it runs right away, printing user1 to the screen, as shown in the following code:
console.log('user1', user1);
As you can see in the following screenshot, it takes almost no time at all:
Next up, we wait on the fetching of user2:
When user2 comes back, as you might expect, we print it to the screen, which is exactly what happens on line 7:
Finally, we add up our numbers and we print it to the screen:
var sum = 1 + 2;
console.log('The sum is ' + sum);
None of this is I/O, so right here we have our sum printing to the screen in barely any time.
This is how blocking works. It's called blocking because while we're fetching from the database, which is an I/O operation, our application cannot do anything else. This means our machine sits around idle waiting for the database to respond, and can't even do something simple like adding two numbers and printing them to the screen. It's just not possible in a blocking system.
The working non-blocking I/O
In our non-blocking example, this is how we'll be building our Node applications.
Let's break this code example down line by line. First up, things start much the same way as we discussed in the blocking example. We'll start the getUser function for user1, which is exactly what we did earlier:
But we're not waiting, we're simply kicking off that event. This is all part of the event loop inside Node.js, which is something we'll be exploring in detail.
Notice it takes a little bit of time; we're just starting the request, we're not waiting for that data. The next thing we do might surprise you. We're not printing user1 to the screen because we're still waiting for that request to come back, instead we start the process of fetching our user2 with the ID of 321:
In this part of the code, we're kicking off another event, which takes just a little bit of time to do-it is not an I/O operation. Now, behind the scenes, the fetching of the database is I/O, but starting the event, calling this function is not, so it happens really quickly.
Next up, we print the sum. The sum doesn't care about either of the two user objects. They're basically unrelated, so there's no need to wait for the users to come back before I print that sum variable, as shown in the following screenshot:
What happens after we print the sum? Well, we have the dotted box, as shown in the following screenshot:
This box signifies the simulated time it takes for our event to get responded to. Now, this box is the exact same width as the box in the first part of the blocking example (waiting on user1), as shown here:
Using non-blocking doesn't make our I/O operations any faster, but what it does do is it lets us run more than one operation at the same time.
In the non-blocking example, we start two I/O operations before the half second mark, and in between three and a half seconds, both come back, as shown in the following screenshot:
Now, the result here is that the entire application finishes much quicker. If you compare the time taken in executing both the files, the non-blocking version finishes in just over three seconds, while the blocking version takes just over six seconds. A difference of 50%. This 50% comes from the fact that in blocking, we have two requests each taking three seconds, and in non-blocking, we have two requests each taking three seconds, but they run at the same time.
Using the non-blocking model, we can still do stuff like printing the sum without having to wait for our database to respond. Now, this is the big difference between the two; blocking, everything happens in order, and in non-blocking we start events, attaching callbacks, and these callbacks get fired later. We're still printing out user1 and user2, we're just doing it when the data comes back, because the data doesn't come back right away.
Inside Node.js, the event loop attaches a listener for the event to finish, in this case for that database to respond back. When it does, it calls the callback you pass in the non-blocking case, and then we print it to the screen.
Now, imagine this was a web server instead of the preceding example. That would mean if a web server comes in looking to query the database, we can't process other users' requests without spinning up a separate thread. Now, Node.js is single threaded, which means your application runs on one single thread, but since we have non-blocking I/O, that's not a problem.
In a blocking context, we could handle two requests on two separate threads, but that doesn't really scale well, because for each request we have to beef up the amount of CPU and RAM resources that we're using for the application, and this sucks because those threads, are still sitting idle. Just because we can spin up other threads doesn't mean we should, we're wasting resources that are doing nothing.
In the non-blocking case, instead of wasting resources by creating multiple threads, we're doing everything on one thread. When a request comes in, the I/O is non-blocking so we're not taking up any more resources than we would be if it never happened at all.
Blocking and non-blocking examples using Terminal
Let's run these examples in real time and see what we get. And we have the two files (blocking and non-blocking files) that we saw in the previous section.
We'll run both of these files, and I'm using the Atom editor to edit my text files. These are things we'll be setting up later in the section, this is just for your viewing purpose, you don't need to run these files.
Now, the blocking and non-blocking files, will both get run and they'll do similar things to those we did in the previous section, just in a different way. Both use I/O operations, getUserSync and getUser, that take five seconds apiece. The time is no different, it's just the order they execute in that makes the non-blocking version much quicker.
Now, to simulate and show how things work, I'll add a few console.log statements as shown in the following code example, console.log('starting user1'), console.log('starting user2').
This will let us visualize how things work inside Terminal. By running node blocking.js, this is how we run files. We type node and we specify the filename, as shown in the following code:
node blocking.js
When I run the file, we get some output. starting user1 prints to the screen and then it sits there:
Now, we have the user1 object printing to the screen with the name Andrew, and starting user2 prints to the screen, as shown in the following code output:
After that, the user2 object comes back around five seconds later with the name of Jen.
As shown in the preceding screenshot, our two users have printed to the screen, and at the very end our sum, which is 3, prints to the screen; everything works great.
Notice that starting user1 was immediately followed by the finishing of user1, and starting user2 was immediately followed by the finishing of user2 because this is a blocking application.
Now, we'll run the non-blocking file, which I've called non-blocking.js. When I run this file, starting user1 prints, starting user2 prints, then the sum prints all back to back:
Around 5 seconds later, at basically the same time, user1 and user2 both print to the screen.
This is how non-blocking works. Just because we started an I/O operation doesn't mean we can't do other things, such as starting another one and printing some data to the screen, in this case just a number. This is the big difference, and this is what makes non-blocking apps so fantastic. They can do so many things at the exact same time without having to worry about the confusion of multi-threading applications.
Let's move back into the browser and take a look at those sentences again in the Node website:
Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, and we saw that in action.
Because Node is non-blocking, we were able to cut down the time our application took by half. This non-blocking I/O makes our apps super quick, this is where the lightweight and efficient comes into play.
Node community – problem solving open source libraries
Now, let's go to the last sentence on the Node website, as shown in the following screenshot:
Node.js' package ecosystem, npm, is the largest ecosystem of open-source libraries in the world. This is what really makes Node fantastic. This is the cherry on top-the community, the people every day developing new libraries that solve common problems in your Node.js applications.
Things such as validating objects, creating servers, and serving up content live using sockets. There's libraries already built for all of those so you don't have to worry about this. This means that you can focus on the specific things related to your application without having to create all this infrastructure before you can even write real code, code that does something specific to your apps use case.
Now, npm, which is available on npmjs.org, is the site we'll be turning to for a lot of third-party modules:
If you're trying to solve a problem in Node that sounds generic, chances are that someone's already solved it. For example, if I want to validate some objects, let's say I want to validate that a name property exists and that there's an ID with a length of three. I could go into Google or go into npm; I usually choose Google, and I could Google search npm validate object.
When I google that, I'll just look for results from npmjs.com, and you can find the first three or so are from that:
I can click the first one, and this will let me explore the documentation and see if it's right for me:
This one looks great, so I can add it to my app without any effort.
Now, we'll go through this process. Don't worry, I'm not going to leave you high and dry on how to add third-party modules. We'll be using a ton of them in the book because this is what real Node developers do. They take advantage of the fantastic community of developers, and that's the last thing that makes Node so great.
This is why Node has come to the position of power that it currently sits at, because it's non-blocking, meaning it's great for I/O applications, and it has a fantastic community of developers. So, if you ever want to get anything done, there's a chance someone already wrote the code to do it.
This is not to say you should never use Rails or Python or any other blocking language again, that is not what I'm getting at. What I'm really trying to show you is the power of Node.js and how you can make your applications even better. Languages like Python have things such as the library Twisted, which aims to add non-blocking features to Python. Though the big problem is all of the third-party libraries, as they are still written in a blocking fashion, so you're really limited as to which libraries you can use.
Since Node was built non-blocking from the ground up, every single library on npmjs.com is non-blocking. So you don't have to worry about finding one that's non blocking versus blocking; you can install a module knowing it was built from the ground up using a non blocking ideology.
In the next couple of sections, you'll be writing your very first app and running it from Terminal.
In this section, I want to give you a tour of the various text editors you can use for this book. If you already have one you love using, you can keep using the one you have. There's no need to switch editors to get anything done in this book.
Now, if you don't have one and you're looking for a few options, I always recommend using Atom, which you can find at atom.io. It's free, open source, and it's available on all operating systems, Linux, macOS, and Windows. It's created by the folks behind GitHub and it's the editor that I'll be using inside of this book. There's an awesome community of theme and plug-in developers so you really can customize it to your liking.
Now, aside from Atom there are a few other options. I've heard a lot of people talking about Visual Studio Code. It is also open source, free, and available on all operating systems. If you don't like Atom, I highly recommend you check this out, because I've heard so many good things by word of mouth.
Next up, we always have Sublime Text, which you can find at sublimetext.com. Now, Sublime Text is not free and it's not open source, but it's a text editor that a lot of folks do enjoy using. I prefer Atom because it's very similar to Sublime Text, though I find it snappier and easier to use, plus it's free and open source.
Now, if you are looking for a more premium editor with all of the bells and whistles in IDE as opposed to a text editor, I always recommend JetBrains. None of their products are free, though they do come with a 30-day free trial, but they really are the best tools of the trade. If you find yourself in a corporate setting or you're at a job where the company is willing to pay for an editor, I always recommend that you go with JetBrains. All of their editors come with all of the tools you'd expect, such as version control integration, debugging tools, and deploying tools built in.
So, take a moment, download the one you want to use, play around with it, make sure it fits your needs, and if not, try another one.
In this section, you will be creating and running your very first Node app. Well, it will be a simple one. It'll demonstrate the entire process, from creating files to running them from Terminal.
Creating the Node application
The first step will be to create a folder. Every project we create will go live inside of its own folder. I'll open up the Finder on macOS and navigate to my desktop. What I'd like you to do is open up the desktop on your OS, whether you're on Linux, Windows, or macOS, and create a brand new folder called hello-world.
I don't recommend using spaces in your project file or folder names, as it only makes it more confusing to navigate inside of Terminal. Now, we have this hello-world folder and we can open it up inside of our editor.
Now I'll use command + O (Ctrl + O for Windows users) to open up, and I'll navigate to the desktop and double-click my hello-world folder, as shown here:
On the left I have my files, which are none. So, let's create a new one. I'll make a new file in the root of the project, and we'll call this one app.js, as shown here:
This will be the only file we have inside our Node application, and in this file we can write some code that will get executed when we start the app.
In the future, we'll be doing crazy stuff like initializing databases and starting web servers, but for now we'll simply use console.log, which means we're accessing the log property on the console object. It's a function, so we can call it with parentheses, and we'll pass in one argument as string, Hello world!. I'll toss a semicolon on the end and save the file, as shown in the following code:
This will be the first app we run.
Now, remember, there is a basic JavaScript requirement for this course, so nothing here should look too foreign to you. I'll be covering everything new and fresh inside of this course, but the basics, creating variables, calling functions, those should be something you're already familiar with.
Running the Node application
Now that we have our app.js file, the only thing left to do is to run it, and we'll do that over in Terminal. Now, to run this program, we have to navigate into our project folder. If you're not familiar with Terminal, I'll give you a quick refresher.
You can always figure out where you are using pwd on Linux or macOS, or the dir command on Windows. When you run it, you'll see something similar to the following screenshot:
I'm in the Users folder, and then I'm in my user folder, and my user name happens to be Gary.
When you open Terminal or Command Prompt, you'll start in your user directory.
We can use cd to navigate into the desktop, and here we are:
Now we're sitting in the desktop. The other command you can run from anywhere on your computer is cd /users/Gary/desktop. And this will navigate to your desktop, no matter what folder you're located in. The command cd desktop, requires you to be in the user directory to work correctly.
Now we can start by cd-ing into our project directory, which we called hello-world, as shown in the following command:
cd hello-world
With the following screenshot:
Once we're in this directory, we can run at the ls command on Linux or Mac (which is the dir command on Windows) to see all of our files, and in this case we just have one, we have app.js:
This is the file we'll run.
Now, before you do anything else, make sure you are in the hello-world folder and you should have the app.js file inside. If you do, all we'll do is run the node command followed by a space so we can pass in an argument, and that argument will be the filename, app.js as shown here:
node app.js
Once you have this in place, hit enter and there we go, Hello world! prints to the screen, as shown here:
And that is all it takes to create and run a very basic Node application. While our app doesn't do anything cool, we'll be using this process of creating folders/files and running them from Terminal throughout the book, so it's a great start on our way to making real-world Node apps.
In this chapter, we touched base with the concept of Node.js. We took a look at what Node is and we learned that it's built on top of the V8 JavaScript engine. Then we explored why Node has become so popular, its advantages and its disadvantages. We took a look at the different text editors we can choose from and, at the end, you created your very first Node application.
In the next chapter, we'll dive in and create our first app. I am really excited to start writing real-world applications.

Latest Reviews (11 reviews total)
I have gone through all 600 pages of this book. Before reading this book I was fairly familiar with Javascript, html and css... and nothing else. Positive points: The text is very easy to read. the steps are defined clearly and never through the book I thought I am left behind. Explanations are very clear and consistent. Negative points: Although I have learned some stuff here and there, I cannot say that I can do anything on my own with node.js now. I didn't learn anything deep enough to generalize it and use it somewhere else. I haven't earned any practical knowledge yet. I gained an overall understanding of Node.js and some npm frameworks, but nothing that I can say I would be able to do on my own and implement. And I still have no idea how should I use node.js on my website, for a simple task like saving user input on server! Maybe I need to read more books and sure I will, but humans get motivated when they feel they are capable of mastering a task to the extent that they can do it on their own. They do not get motivated when they read and read an read but couldn't move a brick from here to there on their own.

Very good introduction to node.js. Too slow paced for person with programming experience. As this is an introduction content is not so deep but gives first steps to continue to more advanced studies.

Doctor Who Anniversary
An Unearthly Child, anniversary, anniversary special, David Tennant, Doctor Who, Doctor Who 50th Anniversary, doctor who companions, Matt Smith, Steve Moffat, The Five Doctors, The Night of the Doctor, The Three Doctors
If you are not by now already aware that today, the 23rd of November, is the 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who then I suspect you have not really been paying attention. It's not even as if it is only talked about in geek circles or 'on this internet thing that kids use these days'. It has in fact been all over the media – on the television and even in mainstream newspapers. Even Google got in on the act with one of their interactive games.
So yes, the 23rd of November, is the anniversary of the day that the first ever episode of Doctor Who, An Unearthly Child, was broadcast to a television audience that likely had no idea what to expect and which would, years later, officially become the world's longest running science fiction TV show with 798 episodes as of the end of the last series in May 2013 (presumably the feature length anniversary special will make it 799 and the Christmas special with Matt Smith's regeneration into Peter Capaldi number 800 which is rather neat numerically speaking). This is not only a major milestone anniversary (a Gold anniversary if it had been a marriage) but one which occurs while the show is still on the air, thereby allowing a special episode to be shown as part of the normal timeline of the series. Many previous milestones were not marked in this way because the show was off the air at the time. This includes the 40th (or Ruby anniversary) which occurred in 2003, two years before the 2005 reboot with Christopher Ecclestone as the Doctor, and the 30th (Pearl) which was in 1993, four years after the show was cancelled in 1989. There were no special episodes for those years.
In fact, to get to the nearest anniversary special before this one you really have to go right back to 1983 and 'The Five Doctors' which was aired to celebrate the 20th anniversary and that is a hell of a long time to wait between specials, especially ones that include more than one actor playing the role. Before that we have the tenth anniversary episode, The Three Doctors, which was broadcast as the first story of the tenth series between December 1973 and January 1974.
Obviously the expected pattern is an adventure featuring more than one Doctor. Though only one of them (The Three Doctors) actually managed to achieve all the Doctors present and all played by the original actors. By the time The Five Doctors was being filmed, William Hartnell had unfortunately died (and was replaced by Richard Hurdnall) and Tom Baker had refused to be involved in the project (he was replaced by unaired film footage and other trickery). The 50th anniversary special (The Day of the Doctor) is also not showing the complete set. But then it was never the intention for it to be 'The 11 Doctors' (or should it be 12 now that John Hurt is officially confirmed as 'The War Doctor', thanks to the recent webisode 'Night of the Doctor'?*). I suspect that Steve Moffat decided to not even attempt to achieve what would be an almost impossible task to complete satisfactorily – replacing the three deceased actors with convincing copies alone would be difficult enough, not to mention producing convincing enough make up jobs on some of the surviving actors to put them plausibly back in approximately the right age range they were when they first played the role. The closest we are ever going to get to the '12 Doctors' on TV is, I am afraid, that which was quite ably achieved in 'The Name of the Doctor' with the quite clever use of old footage and glimpses of familiar costumes to give the impression of the old favourites coming back to haunt the current incumbent.
Still, despite this, The Day of the Doctor promises to be interesting, with a fascinating combo of Matt Smith and David Tennant and an appearance by Billy Piper as Rose Tyler.** And while TV is now never going to see much more than that in the way of multi-Doctor stories there is still scope for these to occur in other media. For example, soon after the 1996 TV movie starring Paul McGann, Terrence Dicks wrote the novel 'The Eight Doctors' which included appearances by all then existing versions of the Doctor. There was also the IDW comic series, The Forgotten, written by Tony Lee, which included short stories featuring all the incarnations up until David Tennant and a quite epic finale in which all ten appear in the same scene. Finally there is also scope for it in audio dramas with Big Finish using many of the previous actors to do voice work on a range of new stories.
The iconic scene from Tony Lee's The Forgotten
So, while I guess my long held dream of there being something equivalent to 'The Five Doctors' (one episode I have fond memories of) being produced on television is never going to happen, there is still a lot of good stuff out there. I for one am looking forward to this, the first anniversary special in thirty years…
* An excellent mini episode which allowed Paul McGann's eighth Doctor the swansong he truly deserved and made me wish we had seen more of the adventures which had led to him being in that situation on TV instead of on audio and in books.
** And I am not going to talk about the speculation about who would be involved or why certain actors were not invited to take part, that is a whole mess of pain and suffering and troll bait right there…


The Yamaha Monster Energy Motocross Team will be able to count on the technical expertise of renowned Swedish suspension specialists Ohlins for the 2010 FIM MX1 and MX2-GP World Championship after an alliance between the two parties was recently confirmed after successful initial tests.
The new YZ450F of David Philippaerts and 2010 revised YZ250F of fresh recruit Gautier Paulin will embrace the technology of the firm established in 1976. Testing will continue extensively with a view towards achieving optimum set-up for the beginning of the pre-season campaign in February and then the first Grand Prix of fifteen in Bulgaria on April 4th.
For the Rinaldi Group a union with Ohlins will signify a return to earlier glory days in which Michele Rinaldi – then as Team Manager – grasped the first world titles for the squad and Yamaha in the early 1990s (1994, 125cc with Bob Moore, and 1992, 250cc with Donny Schmit).


We all have fantasies and people who say they don't simply sitting. It is incredibly rare for someone to fantasize occasionally. In my Miss Independent Woman website Love Doc page this week I've tackled one dilemma about her red hot fantasy. I hope my tips help if they're applicable.
TODAY'S TIP: Enjoy your fantasy life - it's healthy and natural to have them! Obviously if you have a fantasy that takes you into the realms of something illegal that's a very, very different matter. I'd advise you to discuss them with your GP, counsellor or health care provider ASAP.

There's Still No Timetable for Markelle Fultz's Return and That's Absurd
5 Riskiest Projected Lottery Picks in the 2018 NBA Draft
Shawn Farhadian 19 Jun 2018
The 2018 NBA Draft is just two days away and will feature some of the NBA's greatest future talents. Like every year, however, there are lottery picks who never materialize to their potential in the league, but who are drafted along with that risk anyway. Here's a look at the five riskiest lottery picks this year.
5. Kevin Knox
The forward out of Kentucky is turning 19 in August and led his squad with 15.6 points per game. His large frame, in addition to his shot, should help his case in the NBA, however, Knox must improve his scoring efficiency, court vision, consistency, and physicality if he wants to become a household name in the league.
4. Mikal Bridges
The current NCAA champion had a stellar season with Villanova, averaging 17.3 points per game in his junior year, and really is an all around player. He is athletic, has a shot, and is great on defense. His somewhat slender frame, however, can prove to be disadvantageous and be difficult to overcome with bigger scorers in professional basketball.
3. Collin Sexton
Sexton was a scoring machine in 2018, averaging 25.6 points per game, in addition to being a solid dribbler, defender, and shooter. He has what it takes to be a matchup nightmare for point guards more or less his size. Concerns lurk around him in regards to his ability to make his teammates better, in addition to being somewhat selfish with the ball. The "Young Bull" can make it, but he must polish himself up.
2. Michael Porter Jr.
The risks surrounding Porter are pretty much in regards to his lower back injury suffered earlier this season. He was a star in high school, nonetheless, and had he played this year, it would have been nothing short of phenomenal. He is a versatile and physical scorer with a huge frame and, if healthy, can make a huge impact in the NBA as a top star. That's still a huge IF.
1. Trae Young
Young arguably has the highest ceiling and lowest floor out of any other lottery pick this year. His shot and range, many say, resemble that of Stephen Curry and are very rare and special. Young's defense, on the other hand, is pretty paltry, and can be a liability for the NBA team. Young is this year's prime example of a "boom or bust" prospect.

The undulating Surrey Hills, a short hop by train from the capital, are a top destination for road and mountain biking, with Box Hill forming part of the route for the 2012 Olympic cycle road race. Further south coastal Sussex, and its seaside towns of Worthing, Eastbourne and eclectic Brighton, are perfect places to indulge in adrenaline-fuelled watersports with kite surfing and wakeboarding particularly popular. A short ferry ride across The Solent takes you to the Isle of Wight, most famous for hosting the world's biggest sailing regatta, Skandia Cowes week. But there are plenty of activities on offer besides yachting. Try your hand (or feet) at walking along the coastline, or take to the waves windsurfing or kitesurfing, or for something different try tree climbing. To the east of London the rolling landscape, rivers and country lanes of Essex are best explored by bike or on foot. Five official cycle routes will guide you through charming villages and historic towns. Closer to the capital at the Lee Valley White Water Centre you can discover the thrill of white water rafting at the London 2012 Olympic watersports venue. Finally, why not explore Kent, the garden of England, with its wealden forests and wide sandy beaches on horseback? Kent has over 30 off-road TROT routes for riders on farm and forestry land.

Hi, I'm Alex, this month's Finder of the Fair. I've been coming to the Vintage Village for a few years now, and much more frequently over the last 12 months as I've bought a lovely, run-down period house that required gutting, decorating and furnishing.
Over the past year I've spent many MANY hours at vintage shops, car boot sales and charity shops looking for items for the house. During this time I really developed a love of all things vintage, kitsch and retro. So much so that I am now selling the items that haven't found a place in my home via my Etsy store One Mans Trash. You can follow me on Instagram too via @onemanstrash_vintage. If you see something you like you can use the discount code TRASH10 on checkout for 10% off until the end of February.
This was a fabulous array of clocks by Funky Koval Design. These guys really know how to put on a display and their stall wasn't short of admirers.
These are the first of several clocks I had to resist, maybe because I'm looking to fill wall space at home? The one that I really liked was the green number on the top right. It was £45.00 and if I hadn't purposefully only carried about £20.00 in cash it could have been on my kitchen wall right now.
For only £1.00 who can blame me for buying this? Check out my glorious Charles and Diana commemorative banner from BRG Collectables. I'm a sucker for royal paraphernalia, especially anything Lady Di. As my friend said, 'it's like those calendars you get free with your Chinese Take Away around New Year's.' She was right. It is. I've never seen one like it before and it will soon be hanging in my dining room.
Mad Hatton's Vintage have a really eclectic selection of vintage on offer: clothing, furniture, kitchenalia, knick-knacks, vinyl and more.
My resolve not to buy too much disappeared when I spotted their £5.00 clothing rail. It was the 90s Reebok at the front of the rail that stopped me in my tracks and had me reaching for the wallet. Yes, I bought this one too.
I can't wait for a chance to wear it.
As a big Blackpool fan it was the Blackpool donkey portrait that drew my attention. At only £4.00 I wish now I bought it. Again, maybe I'll get lucky next month?
By now I was hungry. My friend who came with me is always preaching to me about the many virtues of Stuart Thornley Cake Design, and I didn't need much persuasion. My dog Cher was also very interested.
I took home the Caramac Blondie for £1.50. It's safe to say I'm now a convert. I'm thinking Giant Ferrero Rocher next month!!! Yum!
Em's Bygones is a treasure trove of vintage furniture, lighting and homeware.
There were so many things of Em's that I could have featured but it was the striking colour of these Manchester made 1960s Sinclair Owen suitcases that came out on top. The condition for their age was astounding, and what an amazing colour. The label tantalising teases 'a beautiful blue lining.' Only £30.00, fab. But definitely don't trust them to an airport conveyor belt! These beauties are for display only.
And then I left. With a pocket full of Happy Meal toys. I'll be back next month for sure.
This gorgeous Cat and Mouse Brandy Glass caught my eye. It's very unusual to see the glass still with both Cat and Mouse. I had to resist my urge to buy as my glass cabinets are now bursting – in part due to the many other items I've bought from A Vintage Affair on previous visits. They always have such beautiful glassware!
I did get given a free Valentine chocolate though.
This FABULOUS 1970s fibre optic lamp/clock was from trader Bryn Jones of Make Do and Mend. The tag says £28.00 and it was worth every penny.
Of all the items I left on the shelf, this was the hardest to walk away from. I usually can't resist kitsch as amazing as this. Not only do the fibre optic flowers light up but they spin around too.
Thinking about it now, how did I walk away from this beauty? I'll have to hope it didn't sell and I can snap it up in March!!!
I've just got to take a look around the always great All Our Yesterdays. Wayne always has great stuff and this month it was his record cases that really caught my eye. So vibrant, they looked brand new. A really good deal for £18.00.
Wayne has a unit in 20th Century Stores just across from the market. And I always pay a visit to the traders in there when in town for the market. There are around three or four floors of treasure.
It was this HUGE box of vintage Happy Meal Toys that got me reaching for the wallet again. And, at only £2.00 for five, I could do so guilt free. I worked in McDonalds for two years as a teenager, and only put up with the hellish job because of these kitsch collectibles. In fact, there's probably a box of them bigger than this in my parent's loft. Anyway, I walked away with an almost full collection of Disney Aladdin toys (the Genie was elusive) and a couple of Aristocats. I'm 36 years old.
If you love colour you'll love Snygg's style. Their lamps are gorgeous. But on this occasion it was the very 80s looking wall clock that tempted me.
But really everything there is tempting.
We admire your budgetary restraint Alex! Thank you for letting us tag along on an entertaining, and occasionally surprising, shopping trip with you, and we hope you can snag those 'left behind' treasures next month!
If anyone reading would like to have a go at being Finder of the Fair sometime just get in touch - we'd be glad to hear from you!


The lending environment is heating up in Australia with peer to peer lending platforms on the move. Now Kabbage, an online lender providing small business loans has announced a partnership with Kikka Capital to power its small business lending service commencing in May. The collaboration between Kabbage and Kikka was described as a "significant expansion" outside of the United States. Kabbage announced in February that its platform was lending over $3 million per day. A year ago Kabbage was lending a third of that amount. The lending platform represents another challenge to traditional banks that are saddled with legacy costs and costly regulations. Kabbage claims to be "the fastest growing small business finance company in history". Now they will share the technology and data driven decisions down under. In the US, Kabbage will loan up to $100,000 for a term of 1 to 6 months.
The partnership with Perth based Kikka is structured as a technology licensing arrangement whereby Kabbage provides the onboarding, underwriting and monitoring technology platform, while Kikka Capital manages the operations, marketing, funding and loan servicing.
This is the first step beyond existing operations in the US and the UK for Kabbage but is indicative of the interest in generating international growth.
Kabbage is based in Atlanta, Georgia and prides itself on their modern corporate culture to attract quality employees removed from hotspots like San Francisco and New York City. Kabbage has the backing of some big name investors including SoftBank Capital, Thomvest Ventures, Mohr Davidow Ventures, BlueRun Ventures, the UPS Strategic Enterprise Fund, and many more.

Daily routine: We wake up in the morning, we have breakfast and we open our smartphones to receive daily news about the world surrounding us. It would appear as innocent as it sounds, although the only problem is that probably most of us are not aware of the fact that information we learned from social media or search engines were filtered and delivered to us in a perfectly tailored form; each matching every individual's preferences.
Ultimately, we unconsciously fell into the post-truth era where the objective facts are no longer accessible to everyone on the same level. The truth we acquire from the internet is the ultimate truth that we want to believe in, that comforts our worldview, meet with our expectations but not the truth that may confront our beliefs. Hence, keeping us away from certain information and feedings, and tieing us only with familiar contents is what is known under the newly emerged term as the filter bubble.
The expression filter bubble was coined by an internet activist Eli Pariser who referred to the way news were distributed among users. According to Pariser, search results are personalized due to a particular algorithm that collects data, interprets them and later on tries to match products to individuals' preferences based on his previous search history, location, clicking behavior, age, gender etc. Consequently, leading to the creation of information bubbles that assures people in their own beliefs and exposing them to less contrasting viewpoints. This might find many implications within the society due to non-transparency of the newsfeed on social media, thus how can it negatively affect the public opinion?
Tech giants such as Google, Facebook etc. all use invisible algorithms such as cookies, tracking engines in order to deliver the most fitted contents that users might likely be interested in. However, the pros of using such method might be eliminating irrelevant contents from our newsfeed but on the other hand the danger of using such technology can greatly influence our political decision, which is in fact psychologically harmful, for what we are constantly kept in 'ideological frames' – within our narrow community of common interest that as a consequence leads to confirmation bias (echo chamber).
As an example, Eli Pariser experimented on his friends asking them to look for BP (British Petroleum) in a Google search. In effect, one of his friends received advertisements about its investments and the other one information about the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Same results he received when he was searching for a certain political party. He became more exposed to his supporting party rather than the opposing one. He was not given many alternative matters, thus it may trigger political polarization or in the worst case lead to political extremism. This phenomenon shows how users are vulnerable to such computer-designed manipulations, auto-propaganda and how powerful companies can easily shape our political views as well as impact our decisions. Moreover, looking widely at the given problem it might be also a major threat to democracy.
The first thing we see after logging-in to Facebook is the newsfeed, which is an array aggregating recent activities of people in our friends. Each action they make, an event is called edge. It can be sharing, commenting or liking someone else's status, sharing or tagging a photo etc. Multiplying these activities by several hundred friends in our circle and adding all the tracked fan pages the image of mass information in our newsfeed can be overwhelming. For this reason, Facebook introduced the algorithm that filters irrelevant contents and prioritizes edges, the system which was later named EdgeRank. However, the news stream is designed differently for everyone.
The main purpose of the EdgeRank is to sell our personal data collection to the major corporation in order to target us with particular advertisements. Most of us probably experienced a weird impression that facebook ads know our shopping list so well, the products we recently bought keep popping up everywhere we surf across websites. Targeted ads can help us find what we need but in exchange for our private matters.
The privacy policies have changed a great deal since the early days when people were still worried about strangers finding out about their persona. The days of being anonymous on the internet have gone for the sake of advertising revenue. Agreeing to various websites privacy policies we became 'a company's own product'.
In the attention economy, the filter bubble plays a huge role in extending the time we spent online, thus maximizing corporations' revenue, constantly feeding us with products ready to purchase. Furthermore, social media has become a vast marketing platform and a gatekeeper that aggressively encourages people to buy more than they actually need. It is a serious psychological brainwash, for people who are not given the variety of choices of what can pop-up in their newsfeed.
What can we do to minimize the negative impact of content filtering algorithms and thus reduce the harmfulness of the bubble filter?
Change the option of filtering the displayed events in the newsfeed with "most interesting" to "latest". Then the layout of the board will adopt a chronologically reverse stream of news, instead of prioritizing the ones most readily "lobbied", commented and shared. It gives the impression of a greater order and a simpler criterion of content segregation.
Select the option "receive notifications" for the most valuable sites or people who we care about the most. Then you can be sure that the information provided by a given person or organization will be obligatorily displayed on our news table – regardless of the mechanism of content filtering.
You can sort and classify pages and friends according to their importance to us by assigning special expiry labels and creating personalized tabs for the pages we follow. This is a form of additional, controlled content filters.
To conclude, it is extremely important to stay conscious while browsing the internet and from the perspective of society, the key to reducing the negative impact of the filter bubble is transparency. According to Holly Green, "Forbes" journalist, it is necessary to have a more public awareness of how the algorithms of such websites like Google and Facebook work. At the moment, only a handful of people are aware of the existence of such mechanisms, not to mention the knowledge of the meanders of their functioning and related implications. By educating in this topic through the school and the media, perhaps we, users, will start to notice the relationship between the simple act of "giving like" and how much information reaches us, and how much does not. And perhaps even these simple activities we will begin to perform in a more reflective way, not forgetting the "bubble" in which we can easily be closed. And which is hard to see on a daily basis.


Their study, "The 'Jerusalem Syndrome' – Fantasy and Reality: A survey of accounts from the 19th century to the end of the second millennium," published in the Israel Journal of Psychiatry and Related Sciences (1999), aims to define this phenomenon and looks at nearly two centuries of patterns of tourists who experience a temporary insanity and often assume the role of biblical figures.
In Tel Aviv, a man claims to be the Messiah.
Although this phenomenon primarily affects those of the Judeo-Christian faiths when visiting Jerusalem, Witztum notes that similar patterns can be seen among Muslims when they visit Mecca.


An Osogbo Chief Magistrates' Court on Monday remanded a 45-year-old man, Aduragbemi Idowu, in Ilesa Prison for allegedly assaulting a four-year-old girl with a hot pressing iron.
The Magistrate, Mrs. Aishat Oloyade, gave the remand order after she told the defence counsel to put in a formal bail application for his client, NAN reports.
The magistrate adjourned the case till April 4 for hearing.
The Prosecutor, ASP Fagboyinbo Abiodun, told the court that the defendant committed the offence sometimes in March at about 4:30 pm at Awosuru area of Osogbo.
Abiodun said the defendant used a hot pressing iron to assault the minor (name withheld) for eating the rice kept in a plate.
He said the offence contravened Section 355 of the Criminal Code, Vol.11, Laws of Osun, 2003.
The defence counsel, Mr Ago Emmanuel, had prayed the court to grant his client bail in the most liberal terms, a plea which was turned down.

Appeal seeks support to build new service for people with a disability
Endeavour Foundation today launches its Toowoomba Learning and Lifestyle Appeal.
The fundraising appeal encourages locals to donate money toward Endeavour Foundation's new purpose-designed Learning and Lifestyle service in Centenary Heights, which will benefit people with a disability in the area.
The three-month appeal will include a range of community events so locals can be part of the process, starting with a fundraising barbeque at the site of the new service Stenner Street service on Friday 26 November, from 1.30pm.
Residents are encouraged to visit the new Toowoomba Learning and Lifestyle Appeal website at www.endeavour.com.au/toowoombaappeal, where you can see how your donation will help improve the lives of locals with a disability.
The new service is expected to open in February and is one of many Endeavour Foundation services offered to people with a disability in the Darling Downs region.
Endeavour supports more than 330 families in the Darling Downs, providing accommodation, employment, training, life skills and personal development opportunities for people with a disability.
The organisation also employs more than 220 staff in the area. Learning and Lifestyle services provide tailor-designed opportunities for people with a disability to enhance their independence, confidence, community involvement and life choices.
People using the service have a personal plan focussed on their whole-of-life needs.
Activities at the service focus on numeracy, literacy, computer skills, money handling, road safety, health, physical activity and craft.
The service is also a central hub to support people with a disability to be involved in activities in the community, including visits to Toowoomba parks, shopping centres, libraries, galleries and sporting facilities.
More than 140 people access Endeavour's Learning and Lifestyle services in the Darling Downs region to improve their education and life skills, including 44-year-old Annette Peddler, who has an intellectual disability.
After moving from a small rural town three years ago, Annette is thriving in the "big smoke" of Toowoomba and is particularly proud of how independent she has become.
Along with making Christmas decorations for her home during the service's craft sessions, Annette loves the social interaction at Learning and Lifestyle, such as outings for lunch and visits to shopping centres.
These trips have helped Annette build confidence to actively participate in the community outside of Learning and Lifestyle, when she enjoys such activities as bowling with local ten-pin bowling teams, going out for meals with friends and shopping.
The new $2.25m Learning and Lifestyle service will further benefit clients like Annette, with purpose-designed features and improved facilities.
There are currently four Learning and Lifestyle services in Toowoomba.
The new service will replace two existing Learning and Lifestyle sites into one bigger and better service, with enhanced capacity to cater for future needs including school leavers.
Its state-of-the-art facilities will also be available after-hours for community groups.
The Toowoomba community has a proud history of supporting people with a disability and Endeavour hopes locals will throw their support behind the appeal, following in the steps of the late Stanley Kuhl.
Stanley bequeathed $539,000 to Endeavour Foundation, which will be used on the new Learning and Lifestyle service, reflecting his desire to make a difference in the Toowoomba region.
The State Government's Department of Communities has also donated $500,000 to the construction of the service.
"Providing education and life skills helps people with a disability take part in activities most others take for granted," said Deputy Chairman of Endeavour Foundation, Shane Charles.
"Every person deserves a chance to live life to the fullest and we look forward to this new facility helping to do that here."

Funding is a key driver for the further education and skills sector. Sometimes, depending on who you are and what you do in your organisation funding can be experienced as both constraining and/or enabling. The sector has seen many funding changes, including changes to 16-19 funding and apprenticeship funding.


I should've known it would come to this because Kelsea Ballerini is, at her core, a fan girl.
But she's also Kelsea Ballerini, which means she's able to make dreams come true, like singing cover songs with one of her pop heroes late at night.
And then after the show — way, way, way after — the two singers hit up a dive bar and covered a Kid Rock song, per Halsey.
Well me and @KelseaBallerini ended up doing a karaoke rendition of "Picture" by Kid Rock in a dive bar where no one knew our names, so how was your night?
Looks like someone did, in fact, know their names because the videos are everywhere (also, it's hard to miss Halsey, because blue hair).
Ballerini's next tour stop is with Keith Urban on July 20 in California.


Davao region has hit a 7.1% inflation rate in August 2018, from 6.2% last July, topping the Philippines' national inflation average for the same period.
