Q: chai spy passes to.be.spy assertion, but throws error on .called() "is not a spy or a call to a spy" I am attempting to use chai spies in my unit tests. I am using karma, mocha, chai and sinon.
I was originally trying to use chai spies to verify a callback in my angular app was called when provided. But to solve the error I have boiled my test case down to what I think is a pretty simple one.
I have the below unit test
describe('spy tests:', function() {

  it('should be spy', function() {

    var spy = chai.spy();
    expect(spy).to.be.spy;
  });

  it('should have been called', function() {
    var spy = chai.spy();
    spy();
    expect(spy).to.have.been.called();
  });
}

The first "should be spy" test passes, which as far as I can reason means that a spy is in fact being created. However the second test fails with the below error:
TypeError: { [Function]
toString: { [Function: toString] bind: { [Function: bind] bind:        [Circular] } },
reset: { [Function] bind: { [Function: bind] bind: [Circular] } },
__spy: { calls: [ [] ], called: true, name: undefined },
bind: { [Function: bind] bind: [Circular] } } is not a spy or a call to a spy!

This is particularly frustrating as I just verified it is a spy in the previous "should be spy" assertion.
Below are my frameworks, as I am including them in my karma.conf.js:
frameworks: ['chai-as-promised', 'chai-things', 'chai-spies', 'sinon-chai', 'chai', 'mocha']

To make matters more frustrating the below assertion does pass:
expect(spy.__spy.called).to.be.true;

I am happy to provide any other info needed. Thanks!

A: I'm not a chai spies expert, but I was having similar issues getting chai spy to work.
I just tested the function, and there appears to be a missing ")" bracket at the end; Maybe it's a copy and paste error?
describe('spy tests:', function() {

  it('should be spy', function() {

    var spy = chai.spy();
    expect(spy).to.be.spy;
  });

  it('should have been called', function() {
    var spy = chai.spy();
    spy();
    expect(spy).to.have.been.called();
  });
});

If that's not the issue, then I was able to create a successful chai spy test by overwriting my function variable with spy.
function functionA() {

}

function thatCallsFunctionA() {
  functionA();
}

describe('Function thatCallsFunctionA', function() {
  it('Should call functionA', function() {
    var functionA = spy(functionA);
    thatCallsFunctionA();
    expect(functionA).to.have.been.called();
  });
})

Broth is usually made with leftovers and meaty parts. Stock is more of a professional term and is cooked according to a specific recipe, using more bony parts. Stocks is used as a sauce base. It has more gelatinous texture and is clear in the appearance. Broths might be thinner and cloudier. And commonly used for soups.
Bone broth or stock is extremely nutritious, healing and flavorful food.
The minerals and electrolytes from bones and vegetables dissolve in water and remain there in a highly absorbable form.
Stock draws the digestive juices into the gut, assisting digestion. In addition, the marrow and the soft tissues like cartilage are the best healing and soothing substances for the digestive tract.
It supports the immune system and helps prevent and reduce infections.
Soft tissues on the bones are also rich in compounds (chondroitin sulphates and glucosamine) needed for the health of our connective tissues including bones, collagen, cartilage etc.
My favorite parts of beef to use for making stock and broth are ox tails. Because ox tails and other tiny bones are covered with cartilage that dissolves they helps the stock gel. You also don't need to use as much bones to achieve excellent results. If you can't find ox tail then look for marrow bones with the cartilage.
Place the meat and the bones in a large pot, add water and slowly bring to a boil over medium to low heat.
When water is about to boil, scum will start rising to the top. Remove it using a skimmer, it might take a few minutes as the impurities continue to rise for a while.
After you have skimmed, add the vegetables and the spices, let boil again and immediately reduce the heat to simmer to ensure the clarity of your broth.
You can freeze it in small glass containers for later use, otherwise consume within 7 days.

(Note: Transcript may contain material edited from the final episode for time purposes)
Today's episode of the Scathing Atheist is brought to you by the new brand of perforated Catholic Condoms, Kingdom Cum. These confusingly labeled condoms are no more contraceptive than cheesecloth, but we're willing to wager we'll catch a few drunken fornicators with this ruse.
What, you think that's immoral? You should see what Catholics do when they take over a hospital.
It's Thursday, it's June 6th and I know Jake Farr-Wharton has already opened up the show once, but the dude sent the quote to me in six different voices and I'm not letting good shit go to waste.
I'm your host Noah Lugeons and from abbreviated NY, NY, this is the Scathing Atheist.
On this week's show,
We'll add contractual obligation to the list of reasons not to get addicted to meth,
I'll try desperately to come up with another nickname for Pope Francis,
And Heath and Lucinda will join me in discovering that Leviticus is every bit as fucked up as you think it is.
But first, the Diatribe.
I'm sick and goddamned tired of hearing about where people fall on the "Dawkins Scale".
Before I go any further, I should note that I'm a big fan of Dawkins and I admire his non-sexist parts… he's like the Benny Hill of atheism in that way. And what's more, I completely understand the rhetorical utility of his sliding scale of theistic probability. In the hands of a skilled debater like Dawkins, it's a valuable asset. But in the hands of a lay-atheist, it's often a hell of a lot less than that.
For those who aren't familiar with the term, the "Dawkins Scale" refers to a seven point scale Dawkins proposed in The God Delusion. A one on this scale represents absolute certainty that god exists, a seven is absolute certainty that god doesn't exist. The point he's making is that atheists generally fall on the "6", not the "7". It's a useful explanation of the fact that atheism is the product of doubt, not certainty.
But certainty appeals to a lot of people, so when Dawkins talks about this publicly there's often a backlash. People in the media stammer about how Dawkins is uncertain and concedes that there might be a god afterall. They don't seem to understand that he's not actually conceding that in any way. They just see two guys in a debate where one is saying he's absolutely sure and the other's saying he holds a tentative position that's in accordance with the observable evidence. Somehow they don't see this as an idiot vs. a responsible thinker, but rather they see it as confident guy vs. indecisive guy.
In the context of the book and in the context of some debates, employing this scale makes perfect sense. But before we lean too heavily on it, we should probably point out that this scale can also be applied to any other belief. Does gravity exist? Well, I'm pretty damn sure it does, but as a responsible thinker, I've got to go with a 6 on the scale, because if convincing evidence arose to the contrary, I would change my mind. I am not an immutable "7". We could be part of a computer simulation titled "what if there was gravity?", so as a proper logician I have to carve out a little, tiny, itsy-bitsy "margin of error" on the gravity thing.
Same thing for evolution, right? I mean, just because all the available data suggests and confirms it, that doesn't mean that I'm absolutely certain beyond the shadow of a doubt, irrespective of future data. I'd have to hold the responsible position of "6" on the scale. But why hamstring oneself in debate by pointing this out only with respect to the thing you're arguing about?
I feel the same way every time I hear Dillahunty, or anyone else for that matter, talk about Agnostic Atheism vs. Gnostic Atheism. Before we start making this distinction, somebody show me one of these gnostic atheists. Show me somebody who says that no matter what level of convincing evidence could be offered to the contrary, they would never believe in god. Show me somebody who says he would still be an atheist if god appeared in the sky before the whole world at once and said, "I am god, sorry about all the mysteriousness and shit and to prove my godness you'll note that all the people who had cancer are now cured." Show me that guy and then let's start carving atheism up into gnostic and agnostic.
This isn't just a semantic thing. And it's not just a "trip-you-up-in-an-argument" thing either. The use of these devices is actually fucking this movement up internally. I can't tell you often I see atheists offering up false-equivalency compromises with this nonsense. Search "Dawkins Scale" on Twitter and it won't take long to find an atheist saying something like, "I'll admit that being a 7 on the Dawkins scale is as ridiculous as being a 1"
What? No the fuck it isn't! That's a complete misreading of the point of the rhetorical device. Keep in mind that on this scale, 7 actually represents the thing that is right. 1 represents the thing that is wrong. The point of the Dawkins Scale is to point out the flaw in "Absolute Certainty". But if you're going to be absolutely certain of something, it's still way better to be certain about the thing that conforms to all the known evidence.
Substitute anything else for the god assumption and it becomes painfully obvious. Somebody who is absolutely certain that the earth is round should, for the proper employment of scientific thinking, concede that overwhelming evidence could sway him… from a pedantic, vulcan, it's-an-oblate-spheroid-bitch point of view. But that doesn't mean that he's exactly as wrong as somebody who is absolutely convinced that the earth is flat.
There's a cat on my lap right now. If I was pressed, I'd admit that it could be a hallucination, it could be a robot, it could be a phantasm from another dimension taking the form of my cat. But if I say, "No, damn it, this is definitely my cat", it may be technically wrong, but it's certainly not as wrong as "No, damn it, this is definitely a phantasm from another dimension."
The problem is with 7 point scales and binary choices like gnostic and agnostic is that there's no way to truly express the 6.999999-ness of one's atheism. If god appeared before me right now and we had a twenty minute conversation, I'd assume I'd lost my fucking mind before I'd assume that it actually happened. It would take a hell of alot more than than personal experience to overturn my conviction. I'd need tangible evidence that could be verified by multiple sources and, in addition, I'd need volumes of refutations for the hundreds of logical contradictions his existence entails. I'd need a world-overturning amount of evidence. I'd need an amount of evidence that one can reasonably assume will never exist.
So as to where I fall on the Dawkins Scale, it ultimately comes down to the question of how many 9s you can put after the decimal place before you run out of 9s.
Joining me for headlines tonight is my fellow skeptic, Heath Enwright. Heath, are you ready to sharpen Occam's Razor?
Is another old book club making outrageous claims?
I'm starting to think god is worse than Oprah.
In our lead story tonight, Oxford University researcher and author Kathleen Taylor made waves this week when she suggested that religious fundamentalism may one day be a curable mental illness. Now, when you and I hear this statement, the only new information is the word "Curable", but when the religious folks hear it they're once again forced to confront the fact that believing in magic people in the clouds is, technically, fucking nuts.
I hope the cure for religion comes out in some sort of weaponized form. I'm picturing a reality dart, and you can heal the radically ignorant right in the side of the neck with a blowgun.
This is only the latest in a long line of academics accidentally forgetting that we're supposed to publicly ignore the fact that extreme religiosity and mental illness spend a lot of venn diagrams spooning.
Definitely got a shared region in the extra-wide vagina shape. That's more like scissoring than spooning, I guess.
The media reports it like it's a scandal and then they dig up a bunch of peacemaker psychologists who dutifully point out that technically it's not a mental illness until it interferes with your day to day life and at the same time they'll dutifully not point out that by the same argument believing that you're Napoleon and your left testicle reminds you to water the house-plants is also not de-facto crazy.
And the Napoleon left testicle belief system is VASTLY more likely to be true than those of any major religion.
Worst thing that happens if insane people become radically orthodox about science is they make an atheist podcast. Nobody's ever protested a theist funeral, or bombed a fetus rescue clinic, in the name of Darwin or Dawkins.
But don't worry, it's not like we're going to now have a rational conversation about this topic, as the major media outlets have reported that, in fact, the pachyderm droppings on the loveseat were likely man-made and placed there intentionally.
Pay no attention to the Republican mascot behind the curtain, taking a shit on society's couch.
Could religious fundamentalism be treated as a mental illness? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/31/kathleen-taylor-religious-fundamentalism-mental-illness_n_3365896.html?utm_hp_ref=mostpopular
And speaking of fundamentalism and mental illness, our next story brings us to Kentucky and Ken Ham's ailing "Ark Park" where Ham is inadvertently demonstrating the absurdity of the Noah story by showing how hard it is to get an ark of that size built when you've got modern shipping channels and $25 million dollars at your disposal.
Well Noah had the old-man strength going. You know how the best softball players are 45-year-olds? Noah did all the ark stuff between the ages of 480 and 600, so unfair advantage.
Plus, Ken Ham probably has far fewer Jewish slaves at his disposal for the project.
In addition to not having enough money to build the ark that will fail to serve as the centerpiece for this not-likely-to-exist theme park, Ham's team is also not building other Old Testament attractions, including not breaking ground on a Tower of Babel observations deck and not moving ahead on a planned "Ten Plagues" themed ride.
I think they need to reread Genesis 11. They're constructing a replica of the tower whose construction got god to smite everyone. That's like re-airing the seizure-inducing anime clip.
Many atheists will remember hearing a lot about this park a couple of years ago when the state of Kentucky agreed to award it huge tax incentives to build it's testament to credulous stupidity. It would seem now that the "Ark Encounter" has found a clever way to circumvent that controversy by failing to raise the requisite funds for construction until the proposed tax incentives expire in May of next year.
So Kentucky said, "Yeah, you guys can have these huge tax breaks, as long as you can build an impossible boat and an entire infinite tower to heaven before next May."

And in "Are-They-Still-On-About-That-Shit?" News, a number of prominent Baptist leaders have called for a mass withdrawal of support for the Boy Scouts of America after they slight and decades overdue backpedaling of institutionalized of bigotry. Arguing that we can't allow gay people to learn how to tie such good knots, homophobic pastors across the nation are urging their flocks to cut their ties with the Boy Scouts.
"I know this seems like it's about the gay thing, in the standard cause and effect sense. But we're just uncomfortable – in general – of a dozen 10-year-old boys and a weird adult in a tent, wearing matching short shorts and ascots. Whether or not there are any actual homosexuals present, it's just too faggoty."
Pastor Tim Reed of Arkansas forestalled that argument when he told a CNN reporter that (quote) "It's not a hate thing here", adding a bunch of other thinly veiled lies and bullshit that he has to tell himself to continue to believe that he's not a bigoted anal-wart that cherry picked through one of the most egregiously horrific parts of the entire bible, bypassed laws against tattoos, fabric mixing and crustacean eating and selectively chose to enforce the one line he found that reinforced his hateful bigotry.
"It's not that they're gay, it's that they're evil BECAUSE they're gay. It's all in the book, you can check. Our hands are tied."
"We'd also be this pissed if they endorsed uncovering your wife's daughter's nakedness!"
Sorry Pastor, but it's still racist when you say hockey players are better than basketball players at water polo.

And in quasi-constitutional legislative acrobatics this week, we've got the state of Ohio hoping to pass a bill that would award high school credits to kids for going to church and learning about how evil gay people are and stuff.
I'd be willing to give PE credit to altar boys, especially if, you know . . . they swallowed.
Proponents of the bill argue that (quote) "It's an attempt to reinstall some of the same things that made this country great", which, in the mind of Democratic representative Bill Patmon, include religious indoctrination and rewarding people for knowing things that are wrong. Patmon went on to complain that we've taken prayer out of the schools, we've separated religious demonstration from learning areas, we've taken religious displays out of schools, I mean, it's getting to where there's hardly any way at all to exploit the public schools to evangelize.
"Some of these kids are going 7 . . . 8 hours in a row at school, in the middle of December, without seeing a single piece of visual Jesus propaganda. Do the math. You just can't brain rape kids under these conditions. I thought this was America."
Opponents of the law point out that giving educational credit for things that aren't actually "education" kind of defeats the purpose and then they just kind of stare at the proponents and wonder why this isn't enough to persuade them.
I got my health credits in high school by interning with a psychic chiropractor who cured headaches with leeches. And now look at me. I run a lucrative wishing well business.

And from the "Who-Will-They-Molest-Now?" file, Las Vegas' oldest Catholic School will be shutting its doors permanently at the end of the academic year. The St. Joseph Catholic School has been instrumental in Vegas' international reputation as a paragon of chastity and virtue since 1948, but a steep drop off in people gullible enough to entrust their children to Catholics has led to the school's inevitable demise.
I think it's telling, that the oldest Catholic school in Las Vegas, is named after Jesus' stepdad, the patron saint of some other dude fucking your wife…the patron saint of "cuckolded by god's dick"
Over the past decade about a quarter of all Catholic schools have been shuttered nationwide leading many to believe that god has abandoned us and no longer cares about the travails of mankind, instead focusing his divine attention on beating Contra without using the cheat code.
It's all about the spreader gun. Maybe the laser near the end. The flamethrower didn't get the good blast radius effect until Contra 2.
Beating Contra without the cheat code is like god… I'll believe it when I see it.

And in this week's forecast on international demon activity we find that despite papal intervention, the guy who thought that he was filled with devil spawn is still fucking crazy. Despite the Pope Frankenberry's exorcism that wasn't, a wheelchair bound man identified in the press as Angel V. insists that he is still possessed by demons.
Looks like he has a malpractice case, at the very least. They seem to have botched a fairly routine procedure. But I've seen a lot of spinals, dude, and it sounds like this Angel guy is a fake.
The fucking goldbricker claims to have undergone more than 30 exorcisms and somehow no matter how much holy water they throw at him while intoning latin platitudes, his clearly malfunctioning brain refuses to be miraculously cured.
What's the problem, he's hearing demonic voices, telling him to kill babies and eat them? Everyone get those sometimes, right? We don't all have to act on them every time.
Instead of responsibly suggesting he seek psychiatric help, prominent Catholics affirm his harmful delusions by saying things like (quote) "the demons that live in him do not want to leave," and (quote) "God exists".

And finally tonight, a story that comes to us from Friendly Atheist, prolific author and inaugural Farnsworth quoter Hemant Mehta and his Friendly Atheist blog. It would seem that a couple of parents in Utah have finally found the secret to instilling the importance of good moral judgement on their children: Cold hard cash.
Mother Katie Hughes had her daughters sign a contract that promises a reward of $1000 at the age of 20 if the now pre-pubescent girls can refrain from the use of drugs, alcohol and premarital sex between now and then.
"We're willing to pay as much as 34 cents a day for you to have a shitty, sheltered childhood."
Seems like a non-binding legal contract might not be the best way to tackle the subject. Are kids gonna need to start bringing legal counsel to have "the talk" ?
So yeah, setting aside the obvious fact that in another eight years these girls could earn that much in a night by breaking the pledge, one also has to doubt that the paltry sum of a thousand 2026 dollars will remain a sufficient carrot to forestall teen angst.
So, nine days of future minimum wage later . . . or drunken orgasms and cocaine now…
Mother offers daughter $1000 to stay a virgin: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2013/06/05/christian-mother-to-daughter-if-you-remain-abstinent-until-youre-20-ill-give-you-1000/
And since there's nothing better to close on than drunken orgasms and cocaine, that'll do it for headlines tonight, Heath, thanks as always for joining me.
And when we come back, Lucinda will join us to bust open our bibles and dig into the dirty parts.
After writing poems for Genesis and Exodus, I felt obligated to the Herculean task of capturing the mind-raping insanity of Leviticus in two rhyming minutes. To complicate matters, I used a weird rhyme scheme and upon recitation it had this really awful "middle aged white guy rapping" feel to it.
In an effort to counterbalance that I put a little music behind it, but I want to apologize to any musicians who might be listening. I was really under the gun on this thing so it's basically A minor and E the whole way.
So without further ado, I present the book of Leviticus in rhyme:
Leviticus in Rhyme:
Let me tell you how to sacrifice a goat, bitch; First you cut it's throat which,
seems a little mean and maybe more than a little gross, it's
Nothing when compared to; What the Levites bear through,
Details of the entrails should be plenty enough to scare you.
The fat goes on a pyre; Set that shit on fire,
The smell's a rancid hell but it's the odor god desires.
How to kill a bird now; Case you hadn't heard how,
Twist it's little heard until it's dead and when it's burned, bow.
This is for atonement; Offer no postponement,
Couple jugs of blood is a critical component.
Now a proclamation; Regarding ordination,
light the candles right or you might risk assassination …From the Lord.
Thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not lie,
Thou shalt not do it guy on guy,
Thus unto Moses spoke the Lord.
Let me tell you what to eat bitch; Tell you who to sleep with
Tell you how to burn the heretics about that bewitch.
Tell you 'bout your penis; And all it's uncleanness,
For someone all-knowing I'm not much of a hygienist.
Oh, and if it pleases; Quickly on diseases,
Sacrifice a turtle dove if anybody sneezes.
Menstrual blood and semen; Need a lot of cleanin'
Best I never catch you whorin' with all those goat demons,
Tell you 'how to shave, man; Who you can enslave, man,
Tell you how to stone the motherfucks who misbhave and,
If you disobey me; I will not just slay thee,
Many generations I'll be all up in your game, see …I'm the Lord.
Thou shalt be pure, thou shalt be true,
Thou shalt not get a damned tattoo,
Thou shalt speak up, Thou shalt not cheat,
Thou shalt not dine on rancid meat
Or stick your dick in things that bleat.
Thou shalt not mix thy rye and wheat.
Thou shalt be just, thou shalt be kind,
Thou shalt not trick the deaf and blind,
Or touch cadavers left behind.
Or let two fabrics be combined.
Thou shalt fear god, thou shalt be straight,
Thou shalt not look to kin with hate,
Thou shalt not ever masturbate,
Thou shant put weasel on your plate.
Thou shalt not rob, thou shalt be bold
Thou shalt rise up before the old,
Don't get your daughter's pussy sold,
Thou shalt give all my priests your gold,
…Thou shalt be easily controlled.
Thus spoke the Lord.
That brings us to a quick recognition of this week's most astonishing vertebrates, Steven, Lindsay, Ward and other Lindsay. These four vampire hunting, ninja decimating, time bomb deactivating, bus jumping heroes have distinguished themselves above all other carbon based lifeforms this week by giving us money. Drawing on stupendous reserves of tenacity, intelligence and spare cash lying around, these four fine folks have provided an example that all tenacious, intelligent people with spare cash lying around should aspire to.
If you'd like to join these noble few in the pantheon of Scatheist glory, you'll find the donate button on the right side of our homepage at Scathing Atheist (dot) com. Oh, and Lindsay, if you're listening, I was talking about the other Lindsay when I said, "other Lindsay", not you.
That does it for tonight's show, but we'll be back in 168 hours with some hastily put together shit that'll keep me up until 2 in the morning at least twice this week. But if you can't wait that long without risking a stress induced seizure, be sure to check out our erratically published blog and our erratically Tweeted Twitter feed.
Oh, and please help us spread the word about the show. If you know any atheists that have auditory canals, please give us a plug when you can. I put every diatribe up on YouTube and I'll be putting the Leviticus song up this week as well, so if you wouldn't be risking will-altering alienation from your family, I'd humbly ask that you give one of our videos a share on Facebook or whatever.
A quick thanks to Heath and Lucinda for joining me tonight and to a bunch of dead Israelites for making the jokes so easy on the Holy Babble segment. And a quick thanks to you, dear listener, for giving us half an hour of your life. We'll be working really hard to earn another thirty minutes next week.
If you have questions, comments or death threats you'll find all the contact info on the Contact page at Scathing Atheist (dot) com. All the music used in this episode was written and performed by yours truly and yes, I did have my permission.

How To Not Believe in God
March 26, 2013 Noah Lugeons 1 comment
by Noah Lugeons
It baffles many atheists when religious folks say things like "I just don't understand how you can believe in a world without God." They're baffled because they're quite certain that the theist is familiar with both of the constituent principles involved; god and not believing in something. How can a person who themselves rejects some beliefs be confounded by the notion of rejecting some beliefs?
The problem, of course, is one of cognitive dissonance. They've insulated the god-concept so much in their mind that they can't apply reason to it in the same way that they can to claims of the paranormal or other religions. It sounds like I'm being dismissive, but how else can you possibly explain a person who thinks god has demanded the tip of their penis as a sacrifice laughing at how silly someone else's beliefs are?
When I was a younger and less experienced atheist, I used to appeal to all the other religions that they didn't believe in. I was often thwarted by hand-waving explanations of the various interpretations of the one god. It was only much later that I realized that intelligent people who have decided to ignore logic and be theists anyway have to build a hell of a defense around it. So much so that when they see somebody who has embraced the obvious, they don't even know how we scaled the wall in the first place.
So I offer the chart above as a quick and easy visual aid for any theists that seem confused by your choice to reject all religious myths instead of all but one. And as it turns out, the Redditors love the charts and graphs, so expect to see more of them.

But I Was Just Debating Evolution!
March 25, 2013 Noah Lugeons Leave a comment
I have to admit that on some levels, I like trolls. I appreciate the effort it takes to engage in one losing effort after the next, hoping to chip away at an armor you know you can't penetrate. It takes endurance and dedication to push your way into a room full of people aligned against you and then antagonize them ceaselessly, knowing the whole time that you're ultimately going to lose the fight and probably get banned or blocked or whatever. I also like the way they maintain bridges and come up with clever riddles.
But what I don't like is when they try to paint a veneer of intellectualism over their self-congratulatory, masturbatory hobby obsession. At least have the courage to admit that what you're engaged in is impotent antagonism. Hell, my entire show is dedicated to the proposition of impotent antagonism and I'm not ashamed to admit it. But you'll never hear me pretending that my show is an 'intellectual' endeavor. It's a string of frustrated, powerless, antagonistic ramblings that may or may not make you laugh depending on the depravity of your sense of humor. There's nothing intellectual about that.
Unfortunately, too few trolls are willing to be that honest with themselves. They like to pretend that their mom's basement is a fortress; a lone citadel in fallen empire and that they are the final guardian of truth that shall persevere against the hordes of minds too broken to agree with what they themselves simply know to be true. Take as an example some sub-dermal infection that showed up here yesterday to point out what a bunch of homophobes atheists are.
In response to my post yesterday about whether or not atheists are "angry at god", he left a seemingly innocuous comment asking what, precisely, atheists were so angry about.
I thought I'd made it clear in the post, but I'd also made it clear how bad theists are at understanding what "I don't believe in your fairy tale" actually means, so I distilled the essence of the argument to a single sentence for him/her:
The implications of a group asserting social jurisdiction on the perceived authority of an imaginary being.
And while I already suspected something rotten under the bridge, it was not until then that the inquisitor revealed their troll-like nature. The response was to link to a blogpost so stupid it forces spontaneous neuronal suicide. I won't be linking to it here (that jackass already has one undeserved link on my blog), but I can distill the point that this fucktard was trying to make in a quick syllogism:
When I argue with atheists, sometimes they get upset and call me names.
Sometimes these names include anti-gay slurs and implications that I love the cock.
Ergo, all atheists are homophobes.
It may seem like a strange assertion to say that atheists, a group that is all but universally in favor of gay rights against an opposition that is all but universally religious in origin are somehow "anti-gay". But don't worry, this human-shaped pile of nut-butter wouldn't make such an allegation without rock-solid evidence. Why, he/she presented several cherry-picked, out-of-context, unverifiable comments from a blog. Talk about incontrovertible! As we all know, if a person says something in the comments section of a website, clearly their statement is indicative of the larger feelings of whatever group you have chosen to associate them with.
So I politely pointed out that trolling is a dangerous game and that when you engage in it, you should know that at any point, you might get accused of taking it up the ass. And then this monkey-spunk-gargling scrotum wart offers a defense so stupid I had to blog about it:
I wasn't trolling, I was debating evolution.
Oh, well in that case…
Look, if you want my intellectual sympathy, don't start off by admitting that you were engaged in something that is almost criminally stupid. If you start the story with something like, "So I'm debating the theory of gravity…", "So I'm trying to convince this guy that the moon really is made of green cheese…", "So I'm arguing with this idiot who thinks water is somehow wet…" or, "I was debating evolution…" you've already revealed yourself to be a horribly misguided, intentionally ignorant promoter of wanton stupidity. And you think somehow that will shield you from the accusation of being a troll?
You can pretend that you're "debating" evolution if you want to, but you're lying and nobody believes the lie but you. The science is in, the data is conclusive, the proof is in the pudding: evolution is true. There is nothing to 'debate'. Sure, there's still plenty to learn and there is a healthy scholarly debate about the mechanisms and specifics of evolution, but if you're trying to pretend that there's an intellectually defensible way to debate the very fact that evolution happened, is happening and is responsible for the biodiversity we see on earth, you are not engaged in "debating", it's "denying".
Oh… and trolling.

Center of the American Experiment adds second economist with new hire Martha Njolomole
Center of the American Experiment is deepening its focus on economic policy and analysis with the addition of economist Martha Njolomole to its policy staff. Martha earned a Master of Arts in economics at Troy University in Alabama, where she worked as a research assistant on several projects that advanced the ideas of economic freedom and individual liberty.
Martha's upbringing in Malawi, a developing country, helped her develop a passion for contributing to research on the social and economic advancement of economically disadvantaged people. Her major research interests include public policy, political economy, institutions, and development. Her recent work includes an analysis of the impact of microfinance on entrepreneurship, policy prescriptions for institutional reform in developing nations, and an examination of legislative proposals to measure their impact on economic freedom in the United States.
Martha added, "I am excited to continue my research journey in Minnesota and hope to make an impact on the state's policy making process. I look forward to creating more opportunities for all Minnesotans to thrive by contributing to Center of the American Experiment's growing body of economic research."

Russia says it's not planning an invasion as the US and others raise concerns about troop buildup near Ukraine

The US and others have raised concerns about Russian military activities near Ukraine.
Reports have said that the US has talked to allies about the possibility of a Russian invasion.
Moscow says it has no plans to invade or attack anyone, unless it is provoked.
The US is raising concerns over a large military buildup of Russian forces and equipment near the Ukrainian border, but Moscow insists it is not planning an invasion.
The alarming Russian military activity, which the Pentagon this week called "unusual in size and scope" and driven by unclear intentions, has triggered some concern in Washington and European capitals. The Ukrainian foreign minister said last week that Russia had an estimated 90,000 troops in an area near its eastern border.
"We are concerned with the reports of the unusual Russian activity near Ukraine," Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said during a press briefing Wednesday.
"We don't have clarity into Moscow's intentions, but we do know its playbook," he said. "And our concern is that Russia may make the serious mistake of attempting to rehash what it undertook back in 2014 when it amassed forces along the border, crossed into sovereign Ukrainian territory, and did so claiming falsely that it was provoked."
The senior diplomat's comments referenced Russia's seizure of the Crimean Peninsula in 2014, giving Russia unfettered access to the Black Sea. Russian-backed separatists continue to wage war in eastern Ukraine, where thousands have been killed.
Amid the buildup of Russian troops and equipment in areas along the Ukraine border, the US has been discussing the possibility that Russia may be planning an invasion of Ukraine with European allies, Bloomberg reported Thursday.
"We continue to watch the situation, and the information we gathered so far is rather worrying," European Union foreign affairs spokesperson Peter Stano said Friday.
Russia has pushed back on the concerns about its military activities near Ukraine. "Russia doesn't threaten anyone," Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Thursday, according to the Associated Press. "The movement of troops on our territory shouldn't be a cause for anyone's concern."
On the possibility of an invasion, Russian deputy ambassador to the UN Dmitry Polyansky said the same day Russia has "never planned, never did, and is never going to do it unless we're provoked by Ukraine, or by somebody else."
As the secretary of state said this week, there is concern about what Russia might characterize as a provocation. "The playbook that we've seen in the past is to claim some provocation as a rationale for doing what it's intended and planned to do all along, which is why we're looking at this very carefully," Blinken said.
On Friday, Peskov called suggestions that Russia was planning an invasion "a hollow and unfounded attempt to incite tensions." He blamed other countries for stirring up trouble in the region, pointing to US Navy activities in the Black Sea and other "provocations" near its borders.
He asserted that Russia takes "measures to ensure our security when our opponents take defiant action near our borders," adding that "we can't stay indifferent to that. We must be on our guard."
The Russian build-up may not be an anomaly. Since its annexation of Crimea, Russia has been growing its military presence in what had previously been a largely rural area with minimal basing — reflecting in part concerns about NATO responses. The latest signs of a build-up could also be evidence of this boosted military presence and the seasonal drills Russian troops travel to in October and November, the Jamestown Foundation think tank wrote in a recent report.
The latest concerns about Russian military activities near Ukraine follow another scare in April, when tens of thousands of Russian troops — possibly as many as 100,000, according to some estimations — and a lot of military equipment were positioned near the border.
Russia later described the movements as a "snap drill" and began pulling troops back, stating that they had "demonstrated the ability to provide a reliable defense of the country."

]

This my code!!, My question is " How to add "SPOC :987654321" into all field?

A: You could use Array#forEach, then apply just the property with the value.

var employees = [{ name: "Praveen", dateofbirth: new Date("July 24, 1992"), gender: "Male", salary: 12000, city: "Salem" }, { name: "Divya", dateofbirth: new Date("July 21, 1994"), gender: "Female", salary: 13500.33, city: "Thirupur" }, { name: "Elangovan", dateofbirth: new Date("May 5, 1989"), gender: "Male", salary: 14050.45, city: "Namakkal" }, { name: "Abinaya", dateofbirth: new Date("August 21, 1991"), gender: "Female", salary: 15230.78, city: "Thirupur" }, { name: "Surendran", dateofbirth: new Date("July 3, 1993"), gender: "Male", salary: 16302.44, city: "vellur" }, { name: "Hindhuja", dateofbirth: new Date("November 05, 1995"), gender: "Female", salary: 17000.11, city: "Salem" }];

employees.forEach(function (a) {
    a.SPOC = 987654321;
});

console.log(employees);
.as-console-wrapper { max-height: 100% !important; top: 0; }

A: employees.map(function (a) {
   a['SPOC'] = 987654321;
});

use map method and add property.
Demo : https://jsbin.com/xofaka/edit?html,js,console

A: employees.forEach(function(v, k) {
    v.SPOC = 987654321;
});

By using function(v, k) you have access to both the value and the key of the current object. More information on .forEach() is to  be found here.

A:         employees .forEach(function (item) {
          addSpoc(item);
                 })

     function addSpoc(item) {

        for (var i = 0, len = item.length; i < len; i++) {
          item[i].spoc = "987654321";
          // or  item[i]["spoc"] = "987654321";
              }


I will host the Chit Chatters Schmooze at Java Brewing, Brownsboro Road, Louisville on Monday, June 6th. Although this is a social event, we will also try to find critique groups for everyone attending. More details are on the SCBWI Midsouth website under Events.


In 2007 I discovered and empty factory. One year after I received a grant to develop a project in this space. Upon my arrival to the location I found a machine demolishing the building. Sometimes you set yourself to do one thing and end up having to do a completely different one. For the period of one year I documented the multiple transformations suffered by the site; an archeological recollection of bits and pieces that I later intervened or dialoged with, through drawing and text. Could I reconstruct the entire space from a single stone? or tell its story? I still don't know, the only thing clear is that I was trying to hold on to this place that was disappearing at the same time I was trying to grab it.

Masur Shines in Brahms with NSO
by Charles T. Downey | Saturday, April 11, 2009
Kurt Masur (b. 1927), conductor
The last time Kurt Masur appeared at a podium in Washington, it was as part of his final tour before stepping down as music director of the Orchestre National de France. That was one year ago, and the visible effects of Masur's worsening health problems (he is now in his 80s) -- shuffling gate, shaking hands -- caused me to wonder if it would be his final appearance in Washington. Those problems are still in evidence, but happily Masur proved me wrong, joining the National Symphony Orchestra as guest conductor on Friday night in an all-Brahms program. Brahms is one of the composers most clearly under the hands of Masur, the ultimate German Kapellmeister who cut his teeth in Dresden, East Berlin, and Leipzig. He opened this program with a sonorous, easy-riding performance of the Variations on the Choral St. Antoni (a catchy tune that can not be reliably attributed to Haydn as it once was), op. 56a, the orchestrated version of a piece originally for piano.
Brahms Requiem:
C. Oelze, G. Finley, Orchestre des Champs-Élysées, P. Herreweghe
A. Auger, R. Stilwell, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, R. Shaw
It is the first evidence of Brahms as an innovative orchestrator, the beginnings of a somber, dark-oriented style that is now inseparably connected with his name. Masur's success in this performance, led without a score, began with his choice of tempo in the theme, a gentle pace that allowed a bouncy emphasis on the low horns and contrabassoon. The sense of ensemble was clear and focused, and the music was allowed to unfold without any real manipulation, including at the end of sections. Widely varied colors and textures, as well as pleasing dynamic contours, created an individual character for each variation, sunny in the third, autumnal in the minor fourth, percolating in the fifth, naive in the seventh. The horns played with gusto and savvy, and the new principal oboe continued to impress with a smooth, controlled tone.
The second half was (coincidentally) an anniversary performance of the choral masterwork Ein deutsches Requiem, op. 45, premiered (for the second time, with six of the seven movements Brahms eventually composed) on April 10, 1868 (by another coincidence, when it was also Good Friday), in Bremen. People generally either love or hate the music of Brahms, and indeed more than one friend (including professional choir singers) reacted to the offer to be my guest at this concert with a roll of the eyes. What made this performance so pleasing to my ears was, once again, incisive conducting from Masur, with crisp, unexpected tempos, often on the fast side (like the imposing death march of Denn alles Fleisch), cutting away the fat heard so often in soupy renditions like that of Robert Shaw (on which many American choral singers, myself included, are nursed). Masur often had to be insistent, in fact, to keep the amassed voices of the Master Chorale of Washington, in its penultimate performances before disbanding because of lack of funds, in line with his surging beat.
Philip Kennicott, In a Requiem Played Like This, the Dead Have It Easy (Washington Post, April 10)
In general, the Master Chorale sang with clear diction and a solid, well-tuned and -balanced sound in full textures. As observed in their last concert the sound of individual sections can be thin and under-supported, and there were similar exposed moments here. The German diction was clear and mostly unified, even a little close to exaggerated at times. The most disappointing part of the performance, aside from some ugly sounds from the trumpets and some sour intonation in the flutes and piccolo, was the vocal soloists. Bass-baritone John Relyea wielded his considerable volume and resonance like a bludgeon, which made the loudest moments, powering over the chorus, exciting but leaving one wishing for some variation in tone. By contrast, soprano Heidi Grant Murphy could barely be heard in the fifth movement, added by Brahms after the death of his beloved mother, with her voice, all swallowed and discolored by a billy-goat vibrato, covered even by soft strings. The high point of the evening was my favorite movement, the sixth (Denn wir haben hie keine bleibende Statt), with the opening section set by Masur in a deliberate, almost plodding tempo. That choice provided a greater contrast with the fast sections after the sounding of the trumpet, when the joy of the elect at the downfall of Death approached a wild-eyed blood lust, setting up an equally fast closing fugue.
This concert will be repeated this evening (April 11, 8 pm). Next week's concerts by the National Symphony Orchestra will feature Leonidas Kavakos playing two of the big Romantic violin concertos, by Mendelssohn (April 16 and 18) and Tchaikovsky (April 17). Iván Fischer will conduct, and the program will also include Tchaikovsky's fifth symphony and a new work by Colorado composer Daniel Kellogg.

Thank you very much for your very insightful review.
After reading Phillip Kennicott insulting remarks at the Washington Post,I was wondering if we were at the same concert.
It is always a privilege to hear Kurt Masur conduct.
