To celebrate the milestone, Apple's French wireless partner is offering free access to the French Open using its iPhone app.
Orange, Apple's wireless partner in France, on Friday said it had sold its first million iPhones in that country.
Apple and Orange began selling iPhones in France in late-November 2007. The 1 million iPhone milestone is an important goal for the carrier and Apple's international market, pointing to the success of the device in countries other than the U.S.
In its second fiscal quarter, Apple reported selling 3.79 million iPhones. The company doesn't break out sales by country, so there is no way to tell what percentage were sold in the U.S. or any other country. The quarter's iPhone sales represented a 123 percent unit growth over the same period last year.
To celebrate selling 1 million iPhones, Orange is offering its users unlimited viewing via the Roland-Garros iPhone application to all customers with an iPhone plan. Using the app, users get live coverage from the French Open tennis tournament.
While Orange was selected as Apple's exclusive carrier in France, the country's competition council ordered Apple to open the iPhone to other carriers in December 2008.

Family members of Traci Genereaux are bringing Traci's Gift, a sponsorship for families in need during Christmas, back for a second year in honour of Genereaux, whose remains were found on a farm on Salmon River Road near Silver Creek in October 2017. No charges have been laid to date in connection to her death. (Contributed)

Another year has passed with no charges laid in relation to the death of Traci Genereaux.
The 18-year-old from Vernon went missing in May 2017, and on Oct. 21 of that year, her remains were found on a farm on Salmon River Road, a property owned by Curtis Wayne Sagmoen's father, under suspicious circumstances.
Oct. 4 would have been her 23rd birthday — a date that brings the family pain, sadness and anger for what was lost.
"You get a little bit angry, a little bit upset, sad, just with not knowing what's going on and wondering why do we have to wait so long," said Darcy Martin, Genereaux's grandmother.
But instead of wallowing in grief during the long wait for the police to file charges, Martin is doing what her granddaughter would have wanted her to do.
"She'd want us to carry on with our life."
Last year Martin launched Traci's Gift, a Christmas fundraiser that sponsored less fortunate families in her name and honour. Having raised nearly $4,000 to shower locals with food and presents over the holidays, she decided to bring the initiative back for a second year.
"There are still so many more people out there that need the help and especially around Christmas time," Martin said.
"If Traci was still here today this is something that she would have loved to be doing. She was always wanting to help people. She had a very, very huge heart."

For Martin and the family, the 21st of October is one of the hardest days of the year. With the date of Genereaux's death still unknown, the anniversary of the discovery of her remains brings back the sharpest memories of her life, which was full of exploring the outdoors, being her loud outspoken self and giving to others.
"It gives us peace of mind knowing that we're doing something positive in her memory."
Martin is again partnering with the All Are Family Outreach Society to identify families in need of support during Genereaux's favourite holiday season and to screen the families to create a wish list for each family that will be sponsored.
This year Martin will be able to devote all of the funds to gift-giving, as Vernon FreshCo has agreed to cover the cost of turkey or ham Christmas dinners "down to the whipping cream on the dessert," as well as breakfast the next morning to all the sponsored families.
"I about cried when they told me that, I was so happy," Martin said.
Martin has started the fundraising pool with $100 and says every little bit helps. Folks can donate by e-transfer at squigglesdm@gmail.com, or by calling Martin 250-260-6570 to arrange an in-person exchange.

Genereaux was one of five women to go missing in the region between the spring of 2016 and the fall of 2017.
Caitlin Potts, 27, was last seen in February 2016 in Kelowna and Enderby; Ashley Simpson, 31, was last seen in April 2016 on Yankee Flats Road near Silver Creek. Deanna Wertz, 46, was also reported missing from the Yankee Flats Road area in July 2016; Nicole Bell, then 32, went missing in September 2017 from the Sicamous area.
Anyone with information on any of the missing women, or in relation to Traci Genereaux's death, are asked to contact their local RCMP.

Region: Post Rock Country
County: Osborne County
City: Osborne
Post Rock Country
Osborne, Kansas
When one thinks of the central part of the United States, not only should they think of Kansas, but they should think Osborne, Kansas. Located just southeast of Osborne is the Geodetic Center of North America. Placed in 1891 and confirmed in 1910, the Geodetic Center is the initial point upon which all North American surveys, deeds, and maps are based.
Founded in 1871, Osborne has been welcoming travelers to the heart of America ever since. Osborne was incorporated in 1879 and was named for Civil War Veteran Captain Vincent B. Osborne, who lost a leg at the Battle of Joy's Ford in Arkansas in 1865.
The early settlers found the region's fertile soils and extended growing season conductive for grain production. Today's visitor can witness at harvest time the impressive production of wheat, corn and milo that contribute to the area's economic base.
For the outdoor enthusiast, the Osborne area can be a sportsman's paradise. Four lakes, all within 40 miles of Osborne, offer boating, fishing, swimming, and camping. Osborne is also in the midst of some of the best deer, pheasant, turkey, and quail hunting you will find in the Midwest.
The Osborne visitor can enjoy outdoor activities at the municipal swimming pool, tennis courts or just spend some time enjoying one of the three parks located in the community.
Osborne is located at the junction of U.S. Highways 281 and 24, just 45 minutes north of Interstate 70.
Osborne County has 34,715 acres of walk-in hunting.

Q: Using child combinator to make a child element visible on hover I am trying to design a navigation menu. I have this HTML Code:

Home

MerryCode

Google

Sample Page

And this is the CSS:
.menu a
{
    font: normal 14px Helvetica, sans-serif;
    padding-left:5px;
    padding-top:5px;
    padding-right:5px;
    float:left;

text-decoration:none;

}

.menu li a:hover > ul {

    display:block !important;

display: none;
position: absolute;
top:120px;
width: 170px;
height:auto;
background: #edebeb;

.sub-menu a

I am trying to make the submenu visible when someone hovers over a menu-item. And the following CSS doesn't seem to work:
 .menu li a:hover > ul {

        display:block !important;
    }

What am I doing wrong?

A: Use the adjacent sibling combinator instead:
.menu li a:hover + ul {
    display: block !important; /* The UL is a sibling of a, not child */
}

A: You may want to use the :hover on the
 instead the  tag, Try this:
.menu li:hover > ul {
  display:block !important;
}

With this is persistent when you hover the submenu too.

(CNN) — One survivor said he was sleeping around 3 a.m. Sunday as the train traveled through northern India.
More than 150 injured passengers have been taken to hospitals in the area, officials said.
Among them, more than 40 people have serious injuries, Rahul Srivastav, press officer for the Uttar Pradesh police, told CNN.
One survivor told CNN affiliate News 18 the train started shaking with "screeching sounds" early Sunday.
"I felt as though metal was clashing with metal, it was like a collision. My upper berth was almost tilted by the time the train halted," Shresth told TV 18.
Shresth — who used one name as do many people in India — said he was one of the first to climb out of the wreckage. He was traveling with a friend to the city of Lucknow to attend an event, he said.
When they tried to leave through one of the doors, they found the corridor littered with bodies, he said.
"I did not want to step on the bodies so we took the other door, but by the time we deboarded, all I could see were either dead people or children crying for their parents," Shresth said.
The pair used GPS navigation to make their way to a nearby village hospital. Later they saw ambulances arrive.
Video from the scene showed mangled carriages flipped over on its side. Fourteen cars in the 23-car train derailed, Modak said. Authorities used cranes and metal cutters to clear the debris.
India's disaster response force spent all day Sunday in what it called a war footing. The army joined rescue operations according to the Press Trust of India.
It was not immediately clear what caused the crash or how many people were traveling on the train, Javeed Ahmed, director general of police for Uttar Pradesh, told CNN News 18.
The government announced aid packages for the families of the bereaved.
Railways Minister Suresh Prabhu told reporters after visiting the site that a high level team will investigate the incident. "Right now the immediate priority is rescue people and to bring relief to those injured and that's what we are doing," Prabhu said.
India's railway system is one of the largest in the world, employing 1.3 million people.
More than 23 million passengers ride them every day on journeys that extend from one end of the country to another. Some passengers spend days on the trains.
Despite being the most popular form of long-distance travel in India, several train accidents are reported each year. This is the deadliest disaster in six years.
India's sprawling rail system is state-run, and the government is being heavily criticized on the nation's television networks. The rail system is known to be poorly maintained, and upgrades have been long overdue. In its last budget, the government put aside large sums of money to modernize the system, to improve traffic lights and lay more rail tracks.
CNN New Delhi bureau chief Ravi Agrawal, Huizhong Wu, Azadehi Ansari and Ralph Ellis contributed to this report.

Meeting the stars of Star Citizen
By Chris Thursten 31 December 2015
In June I spent two days at The Imaginarium motion capture studio at Ealing Studios, London. Founded in 2005 by actor Andy Serkis, it has been used for Avengers: Age of Ultron and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It is also where Squadron 42's substantial narrative component is being pieced together, using a cast that includes Mark Hamill, John Rhys-Davies, Gary Oldman, Gillian Anderson, Mark Strong, Andy Serkis and many others.
By the time I arrive filming has been progressing, on and off, for several months. Mark Hamill and John Rhys-Davies are working through what is left of their parts, and the production as a whole is coming to a close. It is the first time I have seen what over $100 million in funding looks like. That number can be difficult to parse, if you're not a big-budget game producer. In Ealing, I learned that it looks like a lot of very expensive cameras, skintight suits covered in ping-pong balls, and a cast of top-flight actors.
Bolted onto Squadron 42's open-ended structure is a scripted narrative told through conversations in the open world and story missions. That world-class motion-capture rig is being used to map the likenesses of the cast into the game, striking for the sense that you're inside a sci-fi TV show. This is a modern way of achieving what Wing Commander struck for in the 1990s. FMV is gone, but Hamill and RhysDavies are back. They're no longer Christopher Blair or Paladin (and the aliens are no longer men in giant cat costumes) but this really does feel like a spiritual successor.
"Right from the beginning it was something I wanted to do," Chris Roberts says. "It's fun—I haven't done this in a game for quite a long time. We can take modern technology, fuse it with great acting... take it up a level, like Wing Commander took it up before."
I find out while I'm there that Roberts and both actors became friends during the production of Wing Commander. For Mark Hamill, returning was easy. "I never expected to do this again with Chris specifically, but I had such a great time the first time around," he tells me. "When he asked, I didn't need to see the script. I said 'count me in!' Of course my agent said, 'you didn't tell him that, did you? Play hard to get for God's sake!'"
Hamill plays Lt. Commander Steve 'Old Man' Colton, a veteran pilot and the player's mentor. I watch Hamill record conversations and dogfight dialogue, and every story sequence ends with him barking a series of orders for the player to get into the next elevator or get to the next ship. "He's a blunt guy, a lifer," Hamill says. "They say he doesn't teach people as much as hammer them into shape, but he's a true believer in the cause. My father was in the Navy, I knew a lot of guys like this—lifers—no-nonsense guys. Sometimes resentful of the more educated college boys."
I'm there for the filming of several conversations between Old Man and Rhys-Davies' character, Graves, a former Navy colleague now working as a security chief for a private mining rig. Rhys-Davies describes Graves to me as "adrift in civvie street": capable but a little compromised, cautious but willing to be dragged—by Old Man and the player—back into action. It's fascinating watching the two actors work. Rhys-Davies is tall and highly charismatic, dropping in and out of Graves' Scottish brogue as he jokes with the crew. Hamill is focused and attentive. Colton's scowl falls across his face at the start of each take and lingers there for a while afterwards.
In the studio, scenes are played out on a grey mat covered in markings, with wooden frames and scaffolds standing in for desks, elevators and consoles. I watch Hamill record lines from the 'cockpit' of his 'spaceship', really a wooden chair that looks like an unimaginative child's soapbox racer. The first time I saw Mark Hamill he was sitting in a hand-crafted X-Wing cockpit: the cultural and technological road from that image to this one is fascinating. While the motion-capture sets are rudimentary—even a little silly—the performances are rendered in real time onto monitors surrounding the stage. On these, I can see the detailed model of the ship Hamill is in, get a sense of the lighting and the mood.
It's strange to see what the computer sees. It isn't their image that is being recorded, but their presence—and not even fully that, as the real-life height difference between Hamill and Rhys-Davies is removed and body shapes are changed. It feels like some intangible essence of the real actors is being beamed into the game.

With electronic predator callers, the modern-day coyote hunter has at his disposal a massive sound library at the touch of a button. These callers also come equipped with fancy handheld remotes (some with LCD screens), lightweight bodies that make them easier to carry and high-quality speakers that blast sound far across the wide-open prairies of the Midwest. But even with all these features, it is not as simple as setting out the caller, pushing a button and waiting for a coyote to run into range. If you want to consistently call in more coyotes, it all comes down to where you place the caller. Here are three tips to put you on the right track.
1. Place the caller at a reasonable distance. Some of the new callers come with remotes that have a range of up to 200 yards, but the ideal distance is 30-75 yards. Set the caller close enough that if a coyote hangs up while coming to the call, it is still within shooting range. If the caller is at 75 yards and a coyote halts 100 yards beyond it, you still have a mid-range shot. Even though a lot of coyote hunters are equipped to make a longer shot, we can all agree our success rate is much higher at 175 yards than 300. As a rule of thumb, place the caller no farther than 100 yards; this ensures the majority of coyotes that investigate the calls will end up within reasonable shooting range.
2. Keep the caller elevated. Most callers on the market have folding legs, tripod adapters or a handle of some type to get them off the ground. Elevating the caller prevents its sound from becoming muffled and also allows the remote to work more effectively. For example, the Johnny Stewart Grim Speaker GS2 has a speaker base with a ratcheting handle, which you can hang on a fencepost or a limb of a tree or bush. Think of it this way: If you can hear the sounds more clearly when the caller is elevated, so can a coyote. If the caller is buried in a clump of grass or is sitting in a depression, its position will not only block sound but also may interfere with the signal from the remote to the speaker—both of which can lead to frustration.
3. Pay attention to wind direction. Every predator hunter knows you set up with the wind in your favor, and it's no different when setting up your caller. In general, try to place the caller directly in front of you. With the wind blowing in your face, point the speaker straight away. If there's a crosswind, face the speaker into the wind. Placing the speaker so it faces the wind allows the sound to carry best. The majority of coyotes will try to circle downwind of the caller, so sit where you can see downwind to catch a coyote in shooting range.

Cooperation possible without harm to either side in talks: Ozersay
Turkish Cypriot negotiator, Kudret Ozersay has said that the Turkish Cypriot side has given its approval for the appointment of Espen Barth Eide from Norway to the post of UN Secretary-General's special adviser for Cyprus, 'Kibris Postasi' reports.
The leaking of Eide's name to the Greek Cypriot press before the Greek Cypriot side had a chance to announce its response to the UN Secretary-General's proposal was described by Ozersay as "lacking seriousness".
Ozersay said that according to the UN rules of procedure, the UNSG should submit the name of his new special adviser to the Security Council and then announce it himself.
Meanwhile, in statements to 'Kibris', Ozersay argued that developing a "regional cooperation model" in parallel to the negotiations is a must. He claimed that acquiring the Turkish Cypriots' consent for regional cooperation, which will bring stability in in Eastern Mediterranean and prosperity to the two sides, is absolutely necessary.
Arguing that cooperation in the fields of tourism, trade, transport, water and natural gas could be further diversified, Ozersay said that Paphos was the area that returned the most 'no' votes to the Annan Plan, but it could start supporting the solution when income increases as a result of cooperation.
Ozersay noted that this cooperation could be materialised without jeopardising the positions of the sides at the negotiating table. He said that such relations would require "a temporary consensus which will not cause recognition" and would be introduced "through the modus vivendi method"; meaning that there could be cooperation despite mutually recognised differences.
Ozersay expressed the view that the 'give and take' stage of the negotiations should start at the beginning of September so that the process can reach a conclusion. He argued that the UN officials also agree with this view and said that UN deputy Lisa Buttenheim told him that the UN wants to offer its help in the process and this is why it will appoint a new special adviser.

Canada opposition calls on PM Trudeau to quit over ethics allegations
Thu Feb 28, 2019 11:04AM [Updated: Thu Feb 28, 2019 11:09AM ]

Canada's main opposition party has called on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to step down following allegations of unethical conduct by his officials.
Conservative Party leader Andrew Scheer called on Trudeau to resign on Wednesday after a former justice minister claimed that Canadian government officials had inappropriately pressured her to help a major engineering company avoid a bribery trial.
Former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould told Canada's House of Commons justice committee that senior staff in Trudeau's office had made consistent efforts to dissuade her from prosecuting construction firm SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. accused of bribing Libyan officials to obtain multi-billion dollar contracts.

Wilson-Raybould said in a testimony to the justice committee that the pressure on her included "veiled threats" if she declined to acquiesce.
"I experienced a consistent and sustained effort by many people within the government to seek to politically interfere in the exercise of prosecutorial discretion in my role as the attorney general of Canada in an inappropriate effort," she said in her statement.
Wilson-Raybould also said she had been "barraged" and subjected to "hounding" by members of the Canadian government.
No one was publicly named.
Following the allegations leveled by Wilson-Raybould, Canada's main opposition party leader demanded the resignation of what he called a disgraced prime minister.

"Justin Trudeau can no longer hide the fact that he was at the center of an attempt to interfere in a criminal prosecution. He must come clean with Canadians," Scheer told reporters before the testimony.
"He can no longer, with a clear conscience, continue to lead this nation," he added, calling for police to immediately probe the matter.
The scandal is expected to deal a blow to Trudeau just months ahead of an October election in which his Liberal Party faces a tough fight.
Trudeau and his government officials have dismissed the allegations but the case forced the resignation of Trudeau's principal private secretary, Gerald Butts, earlier this month.
Trudeau rejects calls to step down
Meanwhile, the Canadian premier rejected the opposition call for his resignation on Wednesday, insisting that he and his staff had always acted appropriately.
"I strongly maintain, as I have from the beginning, that I and my staff always acted appropriately and professionally," Trudeau told a televised news conference in Montreal.
"I therefore completely disagree with (Wilson-Raybould's) characterization of events," he added, brushing off the demand from Scheer that he step down.


ACROSS THE globe, this year has belonged triumphantly to a surprise protagonist: the street. Young, many-tongued, many-limbed, it has illumined a new idea of the possible and risen with contagious urgency to grab unimagined freedoms from despot regimes. And blow smoke off the ills of democracies.
Stretching from America, Europe, Africa, the Arab world, and all the way up to Russia and China, everywhere the underlying cry has been the same: a demand for a new social contract. A demand for dignity, freedom, justice and equal opportunity. A rejection of the status quo.
The voice of the street is not new to history. Nor are the frustrations it is voicing. What is new is the armour it has acquired: its virtual counterpart, the social media. Anonymous, uncontrollable, de-centred, the street no longer needs leaders. It draws on a disembodied spirit of brotherhood that can viral at the speed of light. One country's revolution has become another's lightning rod. Grievance can catch fire at any moment now.
This creative churn — and the street's new capacity to make common cause across geographical boundaries — has thrown up fascinating challenges for the decade ahead: can corporations and big finance reinvent themselves more ethically? Can democracies deepen and become more responsive? Can newly born societies fulfil their potential or will they — inevitably — replicate the ruts of the old?
If 2011 was the year of passionate action, 2012 will have to be a year of courageous, clear-eyed thinking. What is the new social order the human animal craves? What shape can it take? No one should imagine things can just slip back to the old ways as the dust settles. That would be foolhardy. The street has risen and entered the networks: its agile new voice will be tough to silence.
LIKE THE world, India too has had a year driven by the complex messages of the street. At one level, these are easy to decode. The protests at Jaitapur and Koodankulam, the desperate stands at Bhatta-Parsaul, Srikakulam and POSCO, the determined agitation for Telangana, the slap for Sharad Pawar — these express the old tested ways of democracy. Citizens frustrated — or endangered — by the blindness of government or its unjust policies have always erupted on the street to make their grievance heard, to push power to do better. To demand change in some general principles of how land should be acquired or industry set up or governance improved.
But the Jan Lokpal movement is of a different tenor. It is armed with the new ammunition the street has never earlier possessed: the social media and 24×7 electronic media. Driven at least in part by images on TV and a fashionable hunger to be a part of the romance sweeping the globe, the Lokpal movement is fuelled by swathes of middle-class folk who might never have dreamt of hitting the street, and who, perhaps, will never travel to India's interiors even now to stand in solidarity for the rights of others' livelihood. But regardless of what first brought them there, the thirst for change has now taken root. The old acceptance of corruption as an endemic way of life has been shattered. The ruling government is disastrously mistaken not to cede some real and radical ground on how to curb it.
But the Lokpal movement also comes with its own riddles. Unlike the other street movements across the globe this year, this one is not inchoate and leaderless nor is it just expressing frustration. It claims it has the perfect formula to eradicate it. It speaks in emotive polarities — "the people are good, politicians are bad" — to rouse numbers on the street, but what it really seeks to do is push through a sweeping legislation designed by a few. Its danger is it does not claim to speak — as other street movements accurately do — for the affected villages of POSCO or the displaced of Narmada. Rather, it's assumed for itself the universal "voice of the people" (triggering thorny questions about what constitutes representation). Also, it is unmistakably driven by a great and cleansing intention, but troublingly, it does not seek to change the nature of power, merely its location.
But there will be time enough to sift through those riddles. The most crucial message the street has crystallised for India this year is that there is a fundamental crisis of democracy brewing in our country. Long years of misuse have hollowed out the idea of electoral representation and leached it of moral legitimacy. The Jan Lokpal movement is symptomatic of that crisis. Yet, for a plural and cacophonous society like India, there can be no substitute for parliamentary democracy — messy, slow and dialogic as it may be. 2012, therefore, has to be a year of chastened humility and renewal for our elected leaders. If they are to assert their right to be the true representatives of the 'people', they have to intuit the non-negotiable principles the street is demanding: a new spirit of accountability and transparency. Whatever design it comes in.

The Butterfly's Burden
The extraordinary in ordinary life: Alice Munro
Rummana Chowdhury
Sat Nov 23, 2013 12:00 AM Last update on: Fri Nov 22, 2013 10:30 PM
Alice Munro was 37 when her first collection of short stories was published. In the seventies, her acclamation started outside of Canada. Her moving short stories with their distinct effortless style are focused on her native Huron county in South Western Ontario. She studied English and journalism at the University of Western Ontario.
The frolicking waves of the Great Lakes in Canada had extra ripples on that very special day, October 10, 2013. As a Bangladeshi Canadian, I felt extremely proud as the Swedish Academy announced that the Canadian author Alice Munro had become the 13th woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature.Close competitors were the Romanian novelist Mircea Cartarescu, Norwegian dramatist John Fosse and Russian documentary writer Svetlana Alexierich.When contacted by the Canadian Press, a surprised Alice Munro said "I knew I was in the running, yes, but I never thought I would win".
That day after work I went to my favourite bookstore, Chapters, located on Rathburn Road in Mississauga, but the usual strong aroma of Starbucks' coffee tucked snuggly on one side of the store did not distract my attention as it usually did. I went straight to the "Best Sellers" fiction section. The pretty salesgirl also had an extra bounce in her footsteps, like me, as she handed me the last copy of "Dear Life", Munro's National Bestseller in Canada. I heaved a sigh of relief. I am not a Kindle person, and I prefer the touch and smell of a good book in my hands.
Munro narrates in her own unique style of lucid honesty and sincerity, using simple expressions, spot-on vocabulary, and basic phrases for expressing everyday thoughts and mundane incidents around the lives of ordinary Canadians. She eloquently highlights the many complex emotions of human relationships, mysteries, happiness, depression, desperation and enchantments of dear life with accessibly beautiful linguistics. If you read any of her short stories, you will most certainly find that you will never require the assistance of a dictionary. The jigsaw of words she uses to help readers comprehend the intriguing mysteries of universal human life, embedded into the backdrop of a Canada many readers know nothing about, have eventually struck gold. The Nobel Prize win was "totally unexpected for me", says Munro. The boundless horizon opened up to her magical writings. She had reached out for the shimmering sapphire blue of the Great Lakes of Ontario. But she landed beyond the blue, past the distant horizon.
Thirty-one years of living in Canada have taught me to find a proper balance between East and West. As a Bangladeshi-Canadian writer, my ecstasy knew no bounds as I walked into my workplace that day. My writing critics say that my poems and short stories are full of nostalgia and love for Bangladesh. Every time I eat apple fritters I think of Bangladeshi "roshogollas" and every time I see the deep blue frothing waves of Lake Ontario, my inward eyes see the Bay of Bengal. Yet today I am proud to be a Canadian, as proud as I was to be a Bangladeshi when Tagore, Yunus, Amartya Sen and Mother Teresa received their Nobel Prizes.
Alice Munro was born in 1931 to a farming family of Scottish and Irish origins in rural Huron County, Ontario. She published her first collection of stories, "Dance of the Happy Shades" in 1968 and last year, her 14th book, "Dear Life", came out with a big bang and became a Canadian national bestseller. The New York Times Book Review commented about her, "One of the great short story writers, not just of our time, but of any time."
Britain's "The Independent" says, "This Canadian Chekhov has won both critical reverence and the loyalty of fans across the world for stories that can encapsulate a life within a dozen pages, and for a tender but unsparing gaze on the ordinary events that assume great dimensions in all our lives". Eminent Canadian writer Margaret Atwood says about Munro, "She writes about the difficulties faced by people who are bigger or smaller than they are expected to be when her protagonists look back." The Independent aptly summarizes by saying that her Nobel accolade counts as a victory for women authors, for Canadian literature and the often marginalised art of the short story.
At the age of 82, Munro herself says, "What I wanted was every last thing, every layer of speech and thought, stroke of light on bark or walls, every small pothole, pain, crack, delusion, held still and held together radiant, everlasting." Upon hearing of her Nobel Prize, she smiled and said, "I would really hope that this would make people see the short story as an important art, not just something that you played around with until you'd got a novel written."
Her short story collections include: Dear Life, Too Much Happiness, The View from Castle Rock, Runaway, "Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage," The Love of a Good Woman, Selected Stories, Open Secrets, Friend of My Youth, The Progress of Love, The Moons of Jupiter, Who Do You Think You Are?, Something I've Been Meaning To Tell You, Lives of Girls and Women, and Dance of the Happy Shades.
"I wait for material to turn up and it always turns up", says Munro, whose stories always centre around life and living in Canada. The Swedish Academy praised her, "Finely tuned story-telling, which is characterised by clarity and psychological realism." She joins Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, Saul Bellow, Harold Pinter, Jose Saramago, Nadine Godimer, Doris Lessing, Toni Morrison and the late Seamus Heaney in being given the accolade since 1901.
She has passed through phases of working as a waitress, tobacco picker and a library clerk. She is still operating "Munro's Books," a quant bookstore in Victoria of West Vancouver. And yes, like many young writers, her collection of short stories was once rejected by publishers. Yet her ordinary stories about ordinary life eventually became extraordinary.
Unlocking doors to the world's imagination, creating stories which have the unique quality of being universal in their resonance, critical acclaim and public appreciation were hers in Canada, even before the Nobel Prize.

Effects of TM Practice on Trait Anxiety: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
A new meta-analysis published today (Oct 9, 2013) in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine (2013;19(10):1-12)1 found the Transcendental Meditation® technique (TM) has a large effect on reducing trait anxiety for people with high anxiety. Trait anxiety is a measure of how anxious a person usually is, as opposed to state anxiety, which refers to how anxious we are at the moment. A meta-analysis is an objective means to draw conclusions from all the research in a field.
This meta-analysis covered 16 randomized controlled trials, the gold standard in medical research, and included 1295 subjects from various walks of life, age groups, and life situations. TM was compared with various control groups, including treatment-as-usual, individual and group psychotherapy, and various relaxation techniques. Studies on high stress groups, such as veterans suffering from PTSD and prison inmates, showed dramatic reductions in anxiety from TM practice, whereas studies of groups with only moderately elevated anxiety levels, such as normal adults and college students, showed more modest changes.
A chart shows that studies of individuals with anxiety levels in the 90th percentile (higher than 90% of the rest of the adult population) showed dramatic reductions in anxiety down to the 57th percentile from TM practice. This is just a little higher than the average anxiety level, which is the 50th percentile. Study groups that started in the 60th percentile, a little above average, showed more modest reductions, to the 48th percentile, a little below average.
Lead author on the meta-analysis, Dr. David Orme-Johnson, an independent research consultant, commented: "It makes sense that if you are not anxious to begin with, that TM practice is not going to reduce your anxiety that much. Groups with elevated anxiety received significant relief from TM, and that reduction occurred rapidly in the first few weeks of practice."
TM was also found to produce significant improvements in other areas worsened by anxiety, such as blood pressure, insomnia, emotional numbness, family problems, employment status, and drug and alcohol abuse.
This chart shows that studies of individuals with anxiety levels in the 90th percentile (higher than 90 percent of the rest of the adult population) showed dramatic reductions in anxiety down to the 57th percentile from TM practice. This is just a little higher than the average anxiety level, which is the 50th percentile. Study groups that started in the 60th percentile, a little above average, showed more modest reductions, to the 48th percentile, a little below average. (Photo Credit: Dr. David Orme-Johnson)
Co-author Dr. Vernon Barnes of the Georgia Prevention Center, Georgia Regents University, Augusta, Georgia explains what happens with control groups in these studies. "Control groups who received usual treatment did not show dramatic reductions in anxiety. In fact, control groups that were highly anxious to begin with, if anything, tended to become more anxious over time."
When asked about the effect of other approaches to reduce anxiety, he added, "However, progressive muscle relaxation was also effective in reducing anxiety. But, it did not have the other side benefits of TM, such as increasing overall mental health, and increasing the rate of recovery of the physiology from stressors."
Dr. Orme-Johnson answered a commonly asked question about placebo effects. He said: "Since anxiety is a self-reported measure, one might wonder whether the effects of TM practice or any other treatment program were a placebo effect. Placebos are great. If you give a person a sugar pill and tell them that it will reduce anxiety, it probably will, but only for a little while before the effect wears off. But the effects of TM were shown to be lasting and include objective benefits. For example a recent study showed that TM reduces heart attacks, strokes, and death over a ten-year period. So we know its effects are real and are not just due to a placebo."
The meta-analysis also examined the issue of bias with TM studies on anxiety. There was no evidence of missing studies and studies conducted by scientists who were in any way associated with Maharishi University of Management or any of its sister universities did not have stronger effects than research conducted at independent universities.
Two previous meta-analyses on TM have found that it is highly effective in reducing trait anxiety, and is more effective than other meditation and relaxation techniques, including mindfulness meditation.2,3
Background Information on Transcendental Meditation
The Transcendental Meditation (TM) technique is a simple, natural, effortless procedure practiced 20 minutes twice each day while sitting comfortably with the eyes closed. It is not a religion, philosophy, or lifestyle. It is the most widely practiced, most researched, and most effective method of self-development. For more information visit: http://www.tm.org.
Background information on anxiety
Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health problem in the United States, affecting 40 million adults (about 18% of the population) and costing more than $42 billion a year.4,5 Anxiety is considered a negative mood disturbance that results from failure to predict, control, and obtain desired goals6 and is associated with dysfunctional cognition, behavior, and physiologic over-activity.7 Anxiety further impairs health by motivating increased use of tobacco and alcohol8 and predisposes the individual to chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease.7,8

Transcending a Different Type of PTSD — Helping Children of the Night
By Dr. Norman Rosenthal
Published October 08, 2011 | FoxNews.com
Lately there has been a storm of publicity – and deservedly so – about post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in veterans of our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The public has become better educated about this potentially disabling disorder and its symptoms, such as hypervigilance, an exaggerated tendency to startle, flashbacks, nightmares and emotional numbness, to name just a few.
Mental health professionals have emphasized the need to diagnose and treat PTSD wherever it arises. In this piece, I would like to draw attention to yet another group suffering from PTSD – child victims of prostitution who, against all odds, are trying to go straight and choose a different path in life.
I recently visited a home for such children in the Los Angeles suburbs, part of an organization aptly named "Children of the Night," which has been operating since 1979 under the guidance of its founder and director, Dr. Lois Lee.
The organization is the most comprehensive social services agency in the country for rescuing America's children from prostitution – a term Lee prefers to "trafficking," which she considers too sanitized and not shocking enough for a problem that ought to be shocking but too often hides in plain sight of ordinary citizens.
The story of the young prostitute usually starts with early sexual abuse by a trusted care-giver, creating a trauma that continues to fester in the developing mind and brain of the young person, often resulting in emotional and behavioral difficulties.
The young person runs away – or drifts away – from home and, vulnerable to entrusting his or her safety to untrustworthy adults, goes on to be re-abused by those who pretend to offer love and shelter.
It is an ugly story that inclines us to avert our eyes, change the channel or click on a different web link. I ask you to resist this natural aversion because these are our children and they can be helped with proper understanding and care. — Lee estimates that her organization has assisted over 10,000 young people since its inception.
In Lee's opinion, all these children suffer from PTSD. They are seething with rage, which they either direct outwards – screaming, lashing out, throwing things – or inwards by cutting themselves.
Stressed out in body and mind, many complain of abdominal pains so severe that they need to be taken to the emergency room. They suffer nightmares and sleep disorders that wake them up at all hours. Sometimes their distress during sleep is so bad that paramedics need to wake them and help settle them down.
Consider one of these young people, "Annie," an 18-year-old graduate of the Children of the Night. When she first came to the program, Annie experienced many symptoms of PTSD.
Like the other girls, she would panic when she saw a black limo driving down the street with its lights off, which reminding her of the pimps in her former life. Triggered by all sorts of fears and memories, Annie would scream and throw things. An apparently innocent TV show might remind her of evenings when she and her pimp would watch that same show together in earlier times. One flashback would lead to another until her system was boiling over with intolerable panic and rage.
All the children in the program receive psychotherapy, but Annie did not find it particularly useful. One thing that has made a big difference for her is Transcendental Meditation (TM), a technique that Lee has incorporated into her program in the last few years, with excellent results.
According to Annie, TM has reduced the impact of her flashbacks, has made her less angry, and less likely to her take out her distress on others. As she puts it, "TM helps me calm down and center myself throughout the day, and focus on my schoolwork and tasks. It has also helped me trace back my emotions to when I was really young. I realize that I couldn't cry or tell people they had hurt my feelings. I chose anger instead of hurt."
The beneficial effects of TM on the PTSD symptoms of the Children of the Night have also been documented for traumatized veterans of combat, and are consistent with the known effects of TM in settling down fight-or-flight responses, which are exaggerated in people with PTSD.
Of Dr. Lee and Children of the Night, Annie says, "The program has done everything for me. If not for the program, I would have died on the streets."
Annie's words are all the more poignant as there are so many other children who have not had the good fortune to stumble across Lee and her program. Keep your eye out for them and spare a thought for how we as a society can prevent the horrible problem of child prostitution and take care of those who have already fallen prey to it.

We remember that they left the Nyidiath well before the deportation treaty was signed. They found in the Dauriath a small colony of Elves, already living in the wild into difficult conditions. The Dauriath was a strange place. In facts, it was formerly a bleak planet, resembling our Moon, which received air and water only recently. So it was populated only with plants, some insects and many birds, but no large animals. The newly arrived Elves were just exploring this new world, knowing that the ocean was rising and it would drown many places before settling to a stable level.
For the very first villages, they had to find suitable places, build simple log houses, and start the first cultivations. In these very early times, the Dauriath was looking like the Far West. But it was a very different mind: Elves are poets and artists, who took more care for bringing books and music instruments than tools. Tools they could forge them anyway.
So they had simple houses, but from the beginning they avoided square forms, preferring by far rounded houses, or fancy forms, thatch roofs, flagstone paths (irregular flagstones, as they had no tools for cutting stone), among trees and flowered bushes. These houses were not able to withstand tens of years, they were just emergency houses. But they allowed them to do other tasks, such as cultivation, forging tools, building sawmills, exploring, etc. With a bit more time, they were able to build better houses, sculpted wooden carved houses, that they called violin houses.
Only much later they would get paint, glass and tiles. So, for more than one century they had to do with wooden thatched houses. At best they used waxed fabric under the thatch, so that the roofs could last longer without the need for constant repair.
Nearby everywhere in the Dauriath, the ground was of regolith, a hard mixture of fine sand, gravel, stones and rocks of every sizes and types. So it was difficult to establish fields, they had to remove stones at hand, and even sift the sand. But once this done, the soil was so good, plants were growing very well, so that they had plenty of crop, with only little work. The stones removed from the soil were used to make banks, paths and rock gardens. A common feature in the Dauriath is garden rows at about one metre above the alleys, so that one can work without having to lean or squat.
In the evening they gathered into larger houses, to sing and dance together, and to recall stories of their ancient lost world, the Nyidiath. They were chased by the Humans, their marvellous wooden houses burned, and their wonderful magical forests sacrificed to logging and mining. So they wanted to do something still more beautiful, now that they were free and safe from any danger.
Centuries before the exodus, they had sent animals to the Dauriath, hoping they could thrive here. And they did! No large animals, no mouses or rats, but many kinds of beautiful animals like squirrels and birds, and also does, and ants, butterflies, dragonflies, golden coloured beetles, and many others.
Oromë was a former human, who became an Elf while marrying to Ludmila, a born Elve with great magic healing powers. Their strange and moving story is told in the story «Midsummer love». They arrived in the Dauriath among the first thousands of settlers, secretly sent by the other Elves, in preparation for the unavoidable deportation of all the other Elves.
They not yet had children at this time, although they did later. But for now their purpose was to set a nice place, and cultivate for the millions ones to arrive. They choose a slope with plenty of rocks, unsuitable for farming, for building their houses. It was easy to build terraces with dry stones walls, and set stone and log houses. Oromê and Ludmila installed their here, on a terrace, leaning against the wall of an upper terrace, so that they could access the attic from here.
Ludmila much loved flowers, and she cultivated many on the terraces, together with spices and herbal teas. They were not isolated, they had companions in other houses nearby. At the bottom of the slope were fields, where most Elves were farming. They did not cut all the trees to set fields, just building cairns with the stones, around the largest trees. So these trees were shadowing parts of the fields, and they planted different seeds in different places, depending if they needed shadow or sun. The cairns received flowers, spices and herbal teas, and even later, dyes.
So their place was soon very beautiful, despite the very few technical means they had.
This elven community had a larger house, with fabrics to cover the clay walls. They gathered here, spending time to kitchen, tell stories and sing.
The ocean was still rising, but much slower now. It started to fill a valley nearby, drowning thousands of trees. The Elves tried to cut as much as they could, but it was impossible to store so much wood. But soon they had a new sea, and they could join several villages with boat travels. This much simplified their lives, as they could transport crops, iron and tools. So they began to set wooden jetties and harbours. They had to build new ships, as the bad smelling and unsightly boats they used to come into the Dauriath were long ago cut into shingles. Their tarred wood was very good for this purpose, but not much at anything else.
Ludmila and Oromë's village had a view on their new sea. It was peaceful and blue, how to imagine the tremendous and relentless cosmic forces which formed it?
Little by little, the Elves enlarged their places, to accommodate the millions who would arrive later with the exodus. They extended their fields, saving huge piles of seeds and grains into caves. They baked tiles for the roofs (bricks came only much later), so that the look of their villages changed slowly.
When the exodus was completed, they needed to expand their population, in order to match the human world. So Oromë and Ludmila had children, one every five years. They wanted to be sure they would have something to eat, and friends to share their games, with other children in the village. They soon had a children house, on the top of the slope.
Oromë rebuilt another observatory higher in the mountains, together with some friends he met in the same time than Ludmila, like Alanar. They started to design instruments like the gnomon, to know the trajectory of the planets. They understood before the Humans did, that they were rotating around their sun. But this is not a simple thing to grasp, when we have only the starry sky and wooden instruments to find it!
This small group also did more immediately useful things, such as forging iron tools, or bettering steel. Fortunately they had no more need to build weapons, but many better tools were needed, to cut the stone, sculpt the wood, and many other things. Later Alanar and others had the idea to use the force of steam, a forbidden thing on the Nyidiath. But this is another story.
They built large common houses, where to sing and tell stories of their ancient lost world to their children.
Still later, their children grown up, Oromë and Ludmila started travelling around their new world, in order to exchange knowledge, seeds and skills. This was a wonderful time, which saw much improvements to their precarious lives. Spices, dyes or paints discovered into some places could spread all around their world. Tired of whitish or brownish clothes, they could wear nice colours, or prepare glazed plates, and so many of these objects we use daily, without realizing that they all need to be manufactured, each in a different workshop.
The Elves started to paint their houses, and add stained glass. Soon nearby all windows were coloured, and it is still a very common custom today throughout the Dauriath. New vegetables and spices were spreading, together with flowers and coloured ceramic dishes, brand new stories and novels were told, and their lives became really nice.
The new born Elves were now creating new stories and lore of their own, which had no root into the ancient world, to the contrary of their parent's dreams and regrets.
At times, however, they received some news of their ancient world. The Nyidiath was now occupied nearby only by Humans. Some of them were still turning Elves, and they were still undertaking the great lap from the Nyidiath to the Dauriath, through the dreadful and dangerous Horiathon pass. In doing so, they could bring detailed news and reports on how the Human world was evolving. The Elves could also send back messages with large catapults on ships, which could throw projectiles hundreds of kilometres away, from the low gravitation in this place.
News of the ancient world were not all good. There were still wars... Human had chased the Elves they hated, but they had not chased their hatred... and they could no longer blame the Elves! So things changed only little, just getting more confusing.
But there were progress however in many domains. Especially, many humans were now regretting to have chased the Elves away, saying that they had lost much with this. So now both parties were looking ahead, at the time when the two worlds would be linked permanently. But it was still centuries ahead, as the Horiathon pass was still a one way trip.
But when the Horiathon will be open in both ways, Elves will have to return, and bring back marvel, merriness and hope into the Human world. More and more Humans were turning elvish, and joining them, or starting some better places into the Human world itself.
Oromë met his Elve into strange conditions, which are told into the story «Midsummer love». He was an human and could never imagine he could become an Elf... But this happened, even if he did not wished it and tried to avoid it. And he was to become a great astronomer among the Elves, and an expert for the Elders in this matter.
Later he was to become a negotiator, when the contact with the Humans would be restored. Much later he will become an Elder himself, with greater magical powers and much knowledge. He and Ludmila would live three or four thousands years, before disappearing to the eyes of the other Elves. At this time the Humans and the Elves would be merging, not toward an average, but toward the best the Elves have to offer.
As in these stories, Humans with enough good heart are granted magic, and in this way they become Elves. People with little heart of bad heart just remain Humans.
Well, in some way this is also true here on Earth... at least it is good to think this way.

Syracuse, N.Y. ― Notre Dame and Syracuse will meet on Saturday at the Carrier Dome after both teams had mid-week games postponed due to the coronavirus.
Syracuse (12-6 overall, 6-5 ACC) had its game at Louisville called off on the afternoon of the game. Notre Dame (9-10, 6-7) knew earlier in the week that it wouldn't be playing Clemson as scheduled, but school officials couldn't find an opponent to fill in, so the Irish had a week off.

Brad Underwood completely turned it around in half a decade
It only took five years.

Robert Goddin-USA TODAY Sports
Brad Underwood's first game with the Illini was an exhibition game against Eastern Illinois.
EIU won 80-67.
It was a shocking loss that didn't bode well for the Underwood era, but thankfully we've come a long way since then.
Let's take a look at the Illini back then and now.
Preseason Ranking: NR
Years Since Last Tournament: 5
Team Distribution: 4 4-Stars 6 3-Stars
The 2017-18 Illini finished in the bottom three in the Big Ten, ending with a 4-14 conference record and a 14-18 mark overall. The team was led in scoring by Leron Black and young freshman Trent Frazier.
One of the biggest problems on that team was a lack of size as the leading rebounder was Black, who is only 6-foot-7. The team never got going in conference play and had losing streaks of both six and four games, including 20+ point losses to Wisconsin and Penn State.
It was a disappointing season overall as the team did have some talent, but that also took a hit when heralded recruit Mark Smith chose to transfer from the team after just one season in Champaign.

The start of Brad Underwood's fifth season has Illini fans looking forward to basketball season again.
The Illini finally ended their tournament drought after eight years and were Big Ten Tournament champions. We finally sent a player to the NBA after nine years, with Ayo Dosunmu getting drafted by the Chicago Bulls; hopefully this will send a message to recruits that the staff can develop NBA level talent.
The current roster is stacked with talent. Underwood has been able to score big on the transfer portal by poaching talented players from other prominent programs (ex. Omar Payne from Florida). He has managed to keep the veterans and was able to convince All-American Kofi Cockburn to return for an additional run.
On the recruiting front the program has been able to consistently get multiple top-100 players the last two seasons, showing signs of the Illini returning to national relevance and being a destination for top high school talent.
The positive trajectory of the program has also enabled the athletic department to secure more than $22 million in funding to renovate the Ubben Basketball Complex. This allows the program to have state-of-the-art facilities that will keep us on a level playing field compared to the other top programs around the country.
Underwood has also been rewarded for his great work with the program, being given an extension this offseason that makes him one of the 10 highest-paid coaches in college basketball.
After a rough start to the Underwood era in his first two seasons, he has quickly turned the program around and brought credibility and excitement back to Champaign.
All signs point towards continued success as long as we have Underwood at the helm.


The votes are in! We asked Hello! readers to peg the best-dressed star at the Golden Globes and a clear winner emerged. The apple of your sartorial eyes: Jennifer Lawrence, with 22 per cent of the vote.
It was quite the night for the Joy star, whose arrival with bestie Amy Schumer was one of the most anticipated of the night. Not only did she go home with some extra hardware (the statue for Best Actress in a musical or comedy), but she also scored major style points in a red Dior Haute Couture column gown with cutouts.
To give the simple sheath an extra dose of glamour, Jennifer draped her neck with a striking Chopard necklace featuring a whopping 156 carats of dazzling diamonds. The bauble played on one of the night's biggest trends, chokers, and was undeniably the evening's most striking accessory. She anchored the ensemble with red Roger Vivier platform sandals and topped it all off with a chic side-parted updo and cherry lip.
Other favourites of our discerning readers? Fellow trophy winner Lady Gaga at 14 per cent in a custom, shoulder-baring Versace number with a sweetheart neckline. The American Horror Story star went full Old Hollywood glam with her blond locks in a Marilyn-worthy coiffure, a super-cinched corseted waistline with padded hips and stacks of diamond bracelets.
Jennifer Lopez and her mustard-yellow Giambattista Valli dress snagged the third spot on the list with 7.2 per cent of the vote. With her best accessory of all in tow, boyfriend Casper Smart, the Shades of Blue star was a ray of sunshine in the caped confection, featuring a thigh-high slit and asymmetrical ruching at the hips. Cate Blanchett's fringe benefits and Alicia Vikander's white-hot number rounded out the top five.

Q: Spotify app, create custom modules I'm trying to develop a small Spotify App but have some issues. I have an object Foo that I want to keep in a separate file and require in my main file. Then in my main file I want to create objects like this: var baz = new Foo(some, arguments). But I can't get it to work.
I'm using the 1.0 version of the API and Spotify uses requirejs in some form, right?
Example: https://github.com/spotify/apps-tutorial/blob/1.0/js/tutorial.js
So, I tried to do it like this using two files, foo.js and main.js.
// main.js
require([
  '$api/models',
  'foo'], function(models, Foo) {

  var f = new Foo("hello", "world");

  ...
});

// foo.js
// define() doesn't work? So I tried with require again...?!
require(['$api/models'], function(models) {

  function Foo(some, arg) {
    this.some = some;
    this.arg  = arg;
  }

  Foo.prototype.getSome() { return this.some; }

  return Foo;

});

This gives me an error "Object is not a function" in the main file when doing new Foo(..).
Why is that? I guess it is because I use require() in foo.js? What should I use instead then?
Edit:
Ok, so it seems I should use exports, such as: exports.myMethod = myMethod;
But then I need to export a method that creates and returns an instance of a Foo object with all of its instance methods etc, right?

A: I solved it by doing this:
//foo.js
require(['$api/models'], function(models) {

  var Foo = (function() {
    var foo = function(some, arg) {
        // Do stuff..
    };
    return foo;
  })();

  exports.Foo = Foo;
});

Then in main.js I require it like this:
require(['scripts/foo#Foo']...
Seems to work OK. Don't  know if it is the best approach though.

Q: Number with leading zero in JavaScript Try this:

var num = 040;
console.log(num); // 32

Since when is 40 = 32?

A: Because the 0 prefix indicates an octal number (base 8).

A: TL;DR
It's being treated as octal (base 8) because of the leading 0, just like a leading 0x would make it hex (base 16). This has a long and tortured history and is no longer how octal numbers are written in modern JavaScript. In modern JavaScript using strict mode, the "legacy" octal format is a syntax error; octal numbers are written with an 0o prefix.
History
Early on (in the initial language from Netscape and the first and second ECMAScript specifications), a leading 0 on a numeric literal officially meant octal (base 8), just as a leading 0x means hexadecimal (base 16):
OctalIntegerLiteral ::
    0 OctalDigit
    OctalIntegerLiteral OctalDigit

E.g., 10, 012, and 0xA were all ways of writing the decimal number ten. This is in keeping with some other languages with syntax similar to JavaScript (C, C++, Java, ...), but it's highly confusing.
As of ECMAScript 3, that form of octal literal was downgraded to an optional extension, and decimal integer literals were changed so that they can't have leading zeros (unless the implementation includes the extension):
DecimalIntegerLiteral ::
    0
    NonZeroDigit DecimalDigits(opt)

But ECMAScript 5 forbade doing that in strict-mode:

A conforming implementation, when processing strict mode code (see
  10.1.1), must not extend the syntax of NumericLiteral to include OctalIntegerLiteral as described in B.1.1.

ECMAScript 6 (ECMAScript 2015) introduces BinaryIntegerLiteral and OctalIntegerLiteral, so now we have more coherent literals:

*

*BinaryIntegerLiteral, prefixed with 0b or 0B.

*OctalIntegerLiteral, prefixed with 0o or 0O.

*HexIntegerLiteral, prefixed with 0x or 0X.

The old OctalIntegerLiteral extension has been renamed to LegacyOctalIntegerLiteral, which is still allowed in non-strict mode.
Conclusion
Therefore, if you want to parse a number in base 8, use the 0o or 0O prefixes (not supported by old browsers), or use parseInt.
And if you want to be sure your numbers will be parsed in base 10, remove leading zeros, or use parseInt.
Examples

*

*010

*

*In strict mode (requires ECMAScript 5), it's a syntax error.

*In non-strict mode, it may be a syntax error or return 8 (implementation dependent).

*0o10, 0O10

*

*Before ECMAScript 6, they're syntax errors.

*In ECMAScript 6, they return 8.

*parseInt('010', 8)

*

*It returns 8.

*parseInt('010', 10)

*

*It returns 10.

If you're interested, you can find the current living specification here, and historical versions here.

A: With a leading zero, the number is interpreted as octal and 4 * 8 = 32.
