Bought this so that both sets of grandchildren could have a copy since its one of their faves, A big hit!
How can this book not still be in print? It's glorious! It is one of the funniest fairy tales I've ever read. There's a king kissing a horse's behind, a queen kissing a clever peasant boy, poop, good manners, a magic whistle, perfect peaches, a herd of rabbits, and more! It's magical and good humored. We've read this book a countless number of times. It is always funny and always makes us laugh. This book is one of my family's favorites and I'm so glad this is book is part of our family's collection.
I read this book, as a read aloud volunteer, to a couple of third grade classes every year, They think it's hilarious, as do I. I bought a copy even though I usually check it out of our local library, because I stumbled on the fact that is out of print, and so it's only a matter of time before the library no longer has it, or it gets replaced by an "improved" version. Get it while you can, is my advice.
we love this book and were happy to find a copy for my daughter's Kindergarten teacher as an end of the year thank you gift after my husband and I had read it to the class one morning.
This book is so good, I read it to my husband. He thought I was being a little silly, reading him a picture book, but ended up really getting into it and laughing out loud at the climax. This book does contain "broad humor" so, although you could read it to a younger child, they wouldn't catch on to many of the subtleties. The message that you shouldn't be rude to people still comes through. I believe that taking fairy tales out of our modern curriculum has had the unintended effect of eliminating the teaching of values. The way your face widens to a smile when the simple country lad teaches the pompous king a richly deserved lesson is an indication that the resolution is satisfying and pleasing even to an adult. It just makes you feel good, like all is right with the world, and the message is universal - you get what you deserve. This book is an excellent addition to any elementary or middle school classroom, as well as your own home. Don't let your family miss this one!

My sister gets married tomorrow. I mean, what?! It's not often that you get to say something like that in life, especially when you only have one sister.
Yesterday, Mom and I spent the day helping her with all the finishing touches. Today, we'll set up and decorate for the reception, rehearse, and sit down to enjoy a rehearsal dinner before the chaos begins tomorrow.
Katie and I are very different people, but, like all siblings, we have this major common denominator of a shared upbringing that connects us. As I wrote my Maid of Honor toast, I did a lot of reflecting on our childhood, and damn, we were lucky. Our parents were (and still are) loving, supportive, and allowed us to truly be ourselves, unconditionally. I want to say all kinds of things about how much I love my sister and Eric here, but I'll leave all that for the toast.
This weekend, I want to make a point of soaking in every second. I learned from my sister's bridal shower, and several of my best friends' weddings, that those hours fly by fast. Real fast.
I want to remember to take lots of pictures, but be present.
I want to put my patience hat on when things aren't going just right. Let it go; if something's not perfect, it will not overshadow the day. It's likely no one else will even notice.
I want to support my sister however I can and make sure she has the happiest, most memorable day possible.
Any advice as we dive headfirst into Katie's wedding weekend? I hope you all have a fantastic weekend too!
A totally unrelated P.S. – Grace Bonney's In the Company of Women came out this week; I cannot WAIT for my copy to arrive. Who run the world?
Enjoy the moment. And you are right, no one will notice the little things that didn't go as expected. We are looking forward to tomorrow, and your toast !
Thanks Uncle Bill! Have a good time with everyone tonight too! Looking forward to see all of you.
Have the best weekend. What a wonderful time to share with Katie, Eric, and your whole family. You've already given yourself the best advice: be patient, be present, and enjoy every moment!
Enjoy it all! Give my best to Katie! You are 2 of my favorites!!
Not kidding – it does seem like yesterday! Love you lots, Pink Ma!
I can't wait to see pictures from the wedding!!
Oh man, that's so exciting and awesome! I bought the book and it came last week; I can't wait to read her segment!! Thanks for letting me know!

Maximum Fighting Championship
Maximum Fighting Championship is a Canadian mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion based in Edmonton, Alberta. The MFC's exclusive home in Canada is the River Cree Resort and Casino in Enoch, Alberta, located just outside of Edmonton, Alberta. MFC events are broadcast on HDNet and The Fight Network in North America. The MFC is known for attracting both young fighters, such as Paul Daley and Ben Henderson, plus renowned veterans, such as Jason MacDonald and Thales Leites.
Strong leadership is a cornerstone for the success of the Maximum Fighting Championship and it is provided by the MFC Owner/President Mark Pavelich.
Mark is not just a business owner, but a true pioneer in the world of mixed martial arts as one of the very few men in senior management of an MMA organization who has actually trained in the sport and then put all of his education and expertise into a full-time concentrated effort into building the MFC to where it is today and where it will go in the future.
In addition to the day-to-day operations of the MFC, Mark works tirelessly in the areas of corporate sponsorship and fighter contracts. Mark's passion for MMA is also exhibited on the management side as he represents the interests of Pro Camp Sports Management fighters – a stable highlighted by UFC middleweight star Jason "The Athlete" MacDonald.
Where it takes most professional sports organizations dozens of employees to achieve its goals, the MFC conquers its tasks with minimal staff all focused on the company's success. An unmatched work ethic and unbridled passion for the sport is the difference between the MFC and other mixed martial arts organizations. The MFC is essentially a family-run organization with Dave Pavelich as the Vice-President and Manon Pavelich in the role of Treasurer and Ticket Network Manager.
The MFC currently uses five weight classes:
Lightweight: 146 to 155 lb (66 to 70 kg)
Welterweight: 156 to 170 lb (71 to 77 kg)

Located in Tel Aviv, Israel, this contemporary 1,044 sq ft apartment was designed in 2017 by XS Studio for compact design.
This apartment is located in a building allocated for conservation in Tel Aviv, and is home to a talented pianist who loves to entertain friends and host music nights in his home. The challenge was to create a flexible space, suitable for entertaining, that lends itself to a variety of hospitality scenarios and collaborative musical activities.
When we first saw the floor-plan, we were taken aback by the lack of flexibility in the flat, stemming from the shelter room (Obligatory in Israel), impossibly located in the center of the flat. After a few attempts, we found potential in the apartment, through the creation of an organizing cube: Peripheral furniture which boxes up the functions of kitchen, media, electricity, storage and a hidden door, leading to the private space of the house. From the kitchen's side, the box contains a work area, refrigerator and high pantry cabinets. This side of the cube is hidden from public space, according to the demand of the tenant who asked for a kitchen separated from the hospitality area. In front of the cube's kitchen part, a dining table/counter was designed. It allows a face to face meal or an added work surface by moving it on its axis.


This easy to use recipe will tempt your taste buds. Try out this descendant of an ancient Chinese sauce.
We tend to think that ketchup is an american creation, when is actually a descendant of an ancient Chinese sauce. Try this new recipe and impress your guest with its flavor!

WEMU, Smart Clothing for Epilepsy Monitoring and Diagnosis (VIDEO)
Gaurav Neurology
A collaborative effort by a French medical device company (Bioserenity), a British epilepsy organization (Epilepsy Action), and a French epilepsy organization (Efappe) has led to the first of a kind smart clothing system and companion app that help monitor and diagnose epilepsy. Conventional epilepsy diagnosis and treatment rely on seizure recordings through fixed monitoring systems only available in a hospital setting. Due to the limited accessibility of these fixed systems, most often the patients' seizures are not recorded. The lack of seizure information for a patient leads to suboptimal diagnosis and treatment. WEMU smartwear aims to improve the accuracy of diagnosis, reduce diagnostic time, and help design a more accurate drug regimen for the patient.
The WEMU system consists of a smart shirt and a smart hat with embedded dry-sensors. These sensors constantly monitor the patient's cardiac, muscle and brain activities. The sensors are connected to a rechargeable battery pack through embedded electronic circuitry. The physiological data obtained from the sensors is transmitted to a smartphone app through low energy Bluetooth. The smartphone app analyzes the received data and allows the data to be visualized by the patient or a healthcare professional. The data from the smartphone can also be uploaded, through a secure connection, to a cloud system to allow for a doctor to view the data remotely. In addition to improving the diagnosis and treatment for patients, the WEMU system also allows for more accurate information on the occurrences of seizures that is valuable to the epilepsy research community.
The makers of WEMU are now running an Indiegogo campaign to raise funds to further develop the product and take it to mass production.

Airport Profile: Koh Samui, Thailand (+Photos)
by Airways
by Karol Cieśluk
Samui International Airport (IATA: USM, ICAO: VTSM), also known as Koh Samui Airport is located on the island of Koh Samui at the eastern Gulf of Thailand in the Surat Thani Province.
The island, Thailand's second biggest, is a part of the Chumphon Archipelago and has a population of around 63,000.
Its airport is often called as the most beautiful in the world due to its unique, exotic bamboo-and-thatch-made infrastructure and the stunning natural surroundings.
Samui International is a privately owned airport, built by Bangkok Airways in 1989 for an estimated cost of BHT 800 million with the 1800 meter runway.
It is located on the north-eastern part of this 228.7 km²-small island, between Bophut and Chaweng beaches. The airport was the brainchild of Dr Prasert Prasarttong-Osoth, president and CEO of Bangkok Airways, who has seen an opportunity to increase airlines popularity by constructing Samui International.
The project was prepared by the Habita Company, who designed the airport, the construction works began in 1982 and lasted 7 years.
The airport is suited to operate only Airbus A319, Boeing 737-400, Boeing 737-800SFP ATR72-500/600 aircraft, as well as business and private jets.
Currently, there is a limit of 50 operations daily at the airport, which aims to lower the impact of the noise pollution on the local community. However, Bangkok Airways is aiming to increase the limit to 80 operations daily–the decision lies in the hands of the Thai authorities.
In 2004 a BHT 500 million modernization programme was introduced resulting in a 300m runway extension, bringing it up to a total of 2060m, as well as increasing the airport's capacity to 16,000 passengers daily or six million passengers annually.
The airport has two Terminals, international and domestic, both remain open-sided, which together with the widespread ponds and exotic flowers create the holiday and cosy atmosphere.
At present, Samui Airport has six terminal buildings, four for handling domestic flights and two for international flights with the total of 12,113 square meters of which 1,939 is a commercial area.
In 2017 Samui International Airport handled 2,631,710 million passengers, 3% more than in 2016, and over 31 000 aircraft movements 3.3% more than in 2016, making it the seventh biggest airport in Thailand.
The passenger traffic has now been rising annually since 2009, noting 5% growth in 2015 and 14% in 2016.
There is currently five airlines flying to Koh Samui airport, the biggest being Bangkok Airways which offers 11 destinations (Bangkok–Suvarnabhumi, Chengdu, Chongqing, Chiang Mai, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Krabi, Kuala Lumpur–International, Pattaya–U-Tapao, Phuket, Singapore).
Lucky Air offers flights to Chengdu and Kunming; SilkAir flies twice daily to Singapore; Tibet Airlines to Xi'an; and Thai Airways to Bangkok.
After signing a contract with Bangkok Airways, Thai Airways International began flights to Samui in February 2008. Since then, it has been flying twice daily on the 149-passanger Boeing 737-400s; however, Thai Airways have decided to cease their operations on route from Bangkok and the last flight is set to be in September this year.
Such decision follows the code-share agreement signed by Bangkok Airways and Thai Airways, yet it creates a monopoly for Bangkok Airways to operate between Koh Samui and Thailand's capital.
In the past, Bangkok Airways has faced criticism from the hoteliers on the island for their alleged anti-competitive behaviour against other carriers willing to operate from the airport. Bangkok Airways currently offers an immense number of 28 flights daily between Bangkok and Koh Samui.
The flight from the Thai capital to the island takes around 1 hour and 15 minutes and its operated by both the ATRss and the A319s on the airline's fleet. A roundtrip prices average at about EUR240.
One of the reasons for Samui's International success is its year-round popularity, in 2016 the market wide yearly hotel occupancy has reached 72% and accounted 1.2 million travellers.
Samui is also becoming an increasingly attractive destination for the Chinese travelers, their number grew by 61% in 2017 on year-to-year basis, which is reflected by the presence of the Chinese carrier at the airport and Bangkok Airways daily non-stop flights between Samui-Hong Kong, Samui-Chengdu, Samui-Guangzhou and Samui-Chongqing and it plans to launch new charter services to Xi-An and Changsha in the near future.
Without no doubt, the airport has heavily contributed to a tourist boom on the island, which was earlier only achievable by boat.
It has significantly improved the island's international popularity, which, thanks to easier communication, became one of the world's most known holiday destinations.
Samui International Airport Facilities
Samui International Airport is famous for its engaging open-air shopping and dining area named Samui Park Avenue. Some tourist agencies even offer a visit there as a part of the around-the-island tour.
There is a wide choice of boutiques, shops, restaurants and cafés. Those include a Jim Thompson shop, a Bookazine branch, a pub, a pizzeria, and more.
It is well suited for people in transit with long waiting times, as one can relax on the grass or at a picnic table, located before the security screening. It may, however, be a bit problematic during the rain, as the shelter space is limited.
For people interested in unusual artefacts, Samui Robot Group shop sits just outside Samui Airport. This 'recycling' shop sells sensational Alien and Predator-like monsters.
They are built out of used auto and motorcycle parts. Somewhat scary looking, they're nevertheless testimony to Thai handicraft skills. It is open from 08:30 – 19:30.
The design and the organization of the airport embrace the tropical paradise, perfectly fitting into its surroundings, creating a very enjoyable experience throughout the duration of the stay.
In fact, local materials such as palm and rattan were used to combine the Polynesian resort style with the Thai architecture, creating a very rare mixture.
There are no queues, nothing is overwhelming, the processes are very fast and smooth, even the passengers seem to stroll through the park avenue patiently, enjoying their last holiday moments on this beautiful island.
It is a very unique experience to be able to walk through the airport and feel like you are walking through a small town or an open-air shopping mall.
After luggage screening and walking through narrow paths surrounded by flowers, water, small souvenir shops and a bar we arrive at the gates, the area is relatively small and can become a bit overcrowded, lacking seating places. However, we can enjoy the view of aeroplanes landing, taxiing and taking off right in front of us, not further than 100 meters away.
At Samui International, even the bathrooms remind the passengers about the beauty of the surrounding nature, due to the aquariums with exotic fish located inside them.
As we can read on airport-technology.com, "Koh Samui Airport has won several awards for its design, notably gaining first place in the Outstanding Architecture competition staged by Siam Architects under the patronage of the King of Thailand in 1998 and a Board of National Environment Award for aviation environmental protection and awareness in 1989."
There were two major accidents in the airport's history–first one happened on November 21, 1990, when a Bombardier Dash 8 operating as Bangkok Airways Flight 125 crashed during landing in difficult weather conditions, killing all 38 passengers on board.
On August 4, 2009, Bangkok Airways Flight 266, an ATR-72 flying from Krabi to Ko Samui skidded off the runway, killing one of the pilots.
Thailand's and Koh Samui's continuously growing popularity should ensure the demand for the traffic to Koh Samui International. However, we cannot forget about a number of significant limitations which could potentially hinder the airports' growth.
These include the daily operation limit and a short runway, limiting the number of aircraft eligible to fly to VTSM.
Because of that, the traffic should be expected to grow steadily yet slowly over the next couple of years.
We also cannot forget about the significant domination of Bangkok Airways which operates 80% of all daily flights at the airport, possibly affecting the prices, thus in the best interest of tourism on Koh Samui it would be to ensure fair competition especially on route from Bangkok to Koh Samui.
The airport itself is expected to remain as boutique and cosy as it is, making it one of the most unique and beautiful airports in the world and a must to visit for every aviation passionate.

The knock of the gavel against a rostrum following the words, "Going once, going twice, sold'" is music indeed to an auctioneer but it was especially gratifying last September when we held our first large-scale property auction in Belfast following a four-year hiatus.
During the heady years of the property boom, Osborne King had established an enviable track record as leading auctioneers within the local commercial property market transacting £190m worth of cumulative sales between the years 2005-2007 alone. The economic downturn and subsequent recession effectively sounded the death knell for those headline-grabbing auctions that we had become accustomed to, as funding sources and demand dried up, resulting in dramatically reduced levels of transactional activity.
Ironically, the emergence of NAMA and corresponding increase in the number of forced sales across Ireland and Great Britain appear to have paved the way for the plethora of auctions that have taken place on both sides of the Irish Sea during the past eighteen months. Having monitored the market closely during this period and encouraged by the success of large-scale auctions in London and Dublin, we were convinced that the time was right to re-engage with the auction process locally. The success of our first auction in September 2011 proved that our instincts were correct, resulting in a 93% overall sales figure on the day with the majority of lots exceeding their maximum reserve prices. Since then, we have held two further auctions achieving an overall disposal rate of 80%, which is above the 2011 industry average rate. We now regard auctions as an integral part of our business once more.
Obviously, the post-boom auction is a completely different proposition in terms of scope and monetary value; the purchaser profile has also altered significantly. The majority of prospective buyers attending our most recent auctions appear to be cash-rich, Northern Ireland-based investors and speculators, in contrast to the coterie of developers and representatives of property companies boasting extensive assets and interests who dominated our auctions in the years preceding the property crash.
Our auctions now comprise a mix of commercial and residential property in addition to development land, and we are witnessing the re-emergence of the self-financing, buy-to-let investor attracted by the prospect of double-digit yields for property at extremely competitive prices. It makes sense for this type of investor to consider putting his or her cash into property when values are arguably at their lowest level, particularly when one considers returns available on other traditional forms of investment and savings.
Naturally, a key attraction of the auction process is the fact that an auction remains one of the most transparent, efficient and effective ways of buying and selling property. There are many advantages intrinsic to the process including both seller and vendor being able to sign a contract on the day, agreement to complete the sale within 20 days in addition to no opportunity for gazumping or price chipping. Furthermore, our policy of stating maximum reserve prices for each lot publicly prior to and during our auctions means that this is the price which the vendor is willing to accept for the property albeit bidding will hopefully exceed this figure. Typically, some auction houses publish a guide price, which in my view can be frustrating for bidders as it merely indicates the likely market value but not always what the seller is actually prepared to accept should that figure be attained! Feedback from our three auctions to date reveals that bidders in particular find our maximum reserve price policy to be much more straightforward and reliable than the sometimes-misleading guide price system.
The old adage, "cash is king," has never seemed more apt than in these times, and those who have it or who are in a position to arrange finance well ahead of auction dates are ideally placed to avail themselves of interesting and varied opportunities property-wise. There can be little doubt that capital values will eventually begin to rise although it is extremely unlikely that they will do so in 2012. Whatever the future holds, auctions look set to become a permanent feature on the local property landscape. Indeed, we are gearing up for our pre-summer auction, which is scheduled for the 14th of June in Belfast with closing date for entries requested by the 4th of May!


Homes for Global Gaming Expo in Las Vegas will be set aside again this year in order to accommodate the ever increasing number of bookings we see from Global Gaming Expo attendees and participants. We also notice that many customers want homes instead of hotel rooms in order to bring along family and friends, though most companies tend to book homes in order to save money on lodging and food costs for their travelling employees.
Corporate housing rentals are an excellent choice for lodging during the Global Gaming Expo. Attendees of the event will enjoy some of the best corporate housing we have ever offered. Our team has been busy adding some excellent homes and condos to our inventory. Additionally, we now have the good fortune of offering Homewood Suites by Hilton as well. Our combined inventory of homes, condos, and hotel suites means that we now offer virtually every form of business lodging available in Las Vegas, except of course the same old boring hotel rooms.
Consider this. Staying in a home for Global Gaming Expo does not mean leaving hotel quality behind. All our corporate homes are professionally managed and maintained, and include 24 Hour Customer Service. This is a primary difference between us and our competitors. We never stop paying attention to our guests, because guests are the only reason we exist.
When you consider that corporate homes offer privacy, quiet, space to move around and all the comforts of your own home, the advantages become obvious. Your convention rental will include everything you will need for your home during your stay for the Global Gaming Expo . Our corporate homes and condo rentals include Internet access, Cable TV, local calling and much more. It's all included for free!
In our homes, you are not limited to hotel restaurants and eating out all the time. You will have the option of eating your own food in your own dining room in privacy and comfort. No lines to wait in. No top dollar prices for every meal. The dollar savings alone are well worth the difference, to say nothing of the time and effort expended with reservations, standing in line, and eating only when the restaurant can seat us. Global Gaming Expo attendees, or some of the other longer events are likely to save a fortune during the show run.
Many first time renters attending in the Global Gaming Expo here in Las Vegas may have concerns about transportation to and from the Global Gaming Expo site and their corporate home rental. Las Vegas is the taxi Mecca of the world. Rides to and from the Global Gaming Expo are cheap and plentiful. Limos are also available en mass and at exceptional rates. Lastly, rental cars can be had for a few hundred dollars for the entire event stay.
No matter which method you choose to get to and from the Global Gaming Expo, we have chosen all our recommended homes to be within moments of the main event site. corporate homes in Green Valley and Summerlin and generally no more than 10 to 15 minutes away from the Global Gaming Expo site, and homes in Southern Highlands and Henderson are only 15 to 20 minutes away, even during peak commute hours.
There is a good reason why Las Vegas Corporate Travel has such a great reputation among Global Gaming Expo attendees. We work hard for your business, and we strive to make sure that your experience is everything you hope it will be. Every home we offer was chosen for it's proximity to the Las Vegas Strip, for the amenities it offers, and for it's suitability and attractiveness as a corporate home. From that select inventory, we have chosen the best possible rental homes for the Global Gaming Expo based on distance to the event site. So no matter which home you choose, you are going to get one that has already been chosen for the same reasons you are using to make your choice.

Organs-on-chips are a promising technique to explore drug efficacy, toxicity, and organ-organ interactions at both the chemical and biological level without the need for animal testing. This has the potential to greatly reduce the overall cost and time required to develop new therapeutic drugs. However, little thought has been put into how best to integrate multiple organ systems in order to recreate the multi-organ physiology of humans. The present technology addresses the need for an organ-on-chip system that effectively accounts for the multiple organ scenario.
The microfluidic systems developed for organ-on-chip research at Vanderbilt contain living human cells that have been cultured within microfluidic devices that recapitulate the behavior of the cells in vivo. This includes 3D tissue-tissue interactions, mechanically active microenvironments, electrical stimulation, chemical conditions, and complex organ-level functions such as the blood-brain barrier and the beating heart, among others. The systems include means for linking the organ chips together for physiological and pharmacological analysis.
Numerous organ-on-chip systems have been developed, prototyped, and tested, including perfusion controllers, micro-valves, and micro-pumps that are integrated into microfluidic devices. Continued development and testing are ongoing.
Multiple patent applications have been filed.

The team crafted a full scale marketing campaign to represent our new development, 14 Easy Street in Nantucket, Massachusetts. In doing so, we were able to give life to the property by crafting a logo, developing a website, producing videos and photo, curating a social presence, and a distribution campaign. We are excited to launch this project in 2017!"

"ABC Stone is a visual business working with architects and designers who are a highly visual clientele.

Such is the talent of 929Media – true artists who are sensitive to the beauty around and who capture and share it masterfully through their craft!"
"We have been very pleased with the creative projects we've worked on with 929 Media – the team is efficient, engaging and approachable.

From start to finish 929Media listened to our ideas and matched their video expertise with our message and vision. "
"I worked with 929Media for the annual Lunchbox Fund's Fall Gala.

We tasked 929Media with creating a video that helped capture that feeling and emotion, and the job they did was second to none. The final product was our number one marketing tool for the project, drumming up interest from potential tenants. We certainly have 929Media to thank for a big portion of that early success."
"Through the work 929Media did for us we were able to showcase our villa in a different way, but more importantly we were able to see it differently for ourselves. Having seen the way this team works together, its obvious there is much more going on than just pushing the button on a camera at just the right time.

Q: OOP - Common property on list of objects I'm building a list of objects.
It looks like this :
var item = {} // new object
item['d'] = {
    element: 'string',
    val_1: false,
    val_2: false,
    val_3: false
}

Each of these objects can belong to a sort of family or class. I'm not understanding fully to concept of class in OOP.
I would have two families : left and right.
What I'd like to do, instead of doing something like this :
item['d_right'] = {
    element: 'Whatever',
    val_1: false,
    val_2: false,
    val_3: false
}

item['d_left'] = {
    element: 'Something',
    val_1: false,
    val_2: false,
    val_3: false
}

Would be to have something like this :
class right {

    item['d'] = {
        element: 'Whatever',
        val_1: false,
        val_2: false,
        val_3: false
    }

    // Other elements from the class right

}

class left {

    item['d'] = {
        element: 'Something',
        val_1: false,
        val_2: false,
        val_3: false
    }

    // Other elements from the class left

}

And then, being able to call it easily like :
console.log(item[left][d].element) // would echo "Something"

Is it a way to do something like this ?
Thank you for your help.

A: This is how it works for Javascript, use it wisely
class middle {
  constructor(element) {
    this.var1 = 1;
    this.var2 = 2;
    this.element = element;
  }
}

class left extends middle {
  constructor() {
    // calls the constructor of middle
    super("left_element")
  }
}

var myLeft = new left()
myLeft.var1 // -> 1

However, there are a lot of discussions, if it is good or not, because as others already said it is more a syntactic sugar on top of the prototyping features from js..
Personally I am not using it, in most cases an object or function is enough to work with in javascript.
However in some cases you have to work with classes, so to know how it works is not a bad idea.


I'm not sure what you are asking.  Are you asking if killing vast numbers of people is wrong?  I certainly think so - but then, I'm a pacifist, so I'm intolerant of such things in general. I think all killing is wrong, unless for food.
Are you asking for a definition of the word 'sociopath'?
–noun Psychiatry . a person, as a psychopathic personality, whose behavior is antisocial and who lacks a sense of moral responsibility or social conscience.
Pick your preferred definition - where would you draw the line?

Optimism still reigns in Britain. The country's economy, and related exchange traded fund (ETF), could be past the worst of the recession, but economic numbers are not exactly lining up with people's hopes at the monent.
Peter Mandelson, deputy to Gordon Brown, says the worst of the recession is over, according to the Economist. Businesses and purchasing managers have reported improvements in manufacturing and increases in output. Residential builders are relieved with a possible stabilization of the housing market.
But the favorable signs are now being followed by poor economic data with a GDP drop of 2.4%, up from earlier projected 1.9%, in the last three months of 2009 and the first quarter of 2009. Output was down 4.9%, compared to the previous estimated 4.1%, since the start of 2008.
Auspicious signs of the economy are turning up. Some have reasoned that the severe downturn was because firms rapidly reduced their inventories. Eventually, companies will have to satisfy demand from new production, boosting the economy.
Monetary and fiscal policies are working to revive the economy. The Bank of England is keeping rates at a low of 0.5% and supplying $206 billion, or 9% of GDP. Fiscal policy is rather loose, so much so that some are worrying about the future plans for fixing the budget deficit.

This is an interiors post, bit different but i hope you like it.
I don't know if any of you are aware i am very much into interiors aswell as fashion & beauty.
I redecorate my room LOADS.
Since being in this house i have redecorated my room about 5 times.
I get bored i guess, and my creative side takes over.
In my head i have visions of what i want my bedroom to look like.
It's been requested a number of times for me to do a room tour, and i really was considering doing it, but now im just not happy with my bedroom and would rather show you after i have transformed it.
I get so far then give up, im not the only one right?
At the moment, the colour scheme is black, cream & gold.
I have cream walls, a feature wallpaper wall, floral black and cream bedsheets, black acryllic chandelier and black and cream accessories.
But im finding the black a bit harsh.
My room is quite small, and so the lighter and brighter everything is, the better.
These are some images i've sourced from google of how im aiming to redecorate my room.
I absolutely adore shabby chic, I dont think it gets old or goes out of fashion.
My mums room has been shabby chic forever, as well as other room in our house.
So, this is going to be my little project, and im excited.
I already picked up some bargainus items to go in my room today at the bootsale.
Seriously ladies, if you are considering redecorating and going all shabby chic & vintage, the best place to pick up accessories and decorations is a bootsale.
Hope you found this somewhat interesting, i wanted all my inspiration in one place so i can go back and look at it.


Look like a royal, shiny mermaid in these foil covered prints.
I love florals and print designs that look like they'd be at home on a woven, but then they surprise you by being on stretchy activewear fabric!
Mix these prints with some reliable solids and some sheer meshes to get the most bang for your buck.
This picture looks uninspiring, but it's the heavy weight power shaper net that we used to stock. It's perfect for lining or for creating lovely sheer accents.
This fabric is just "power mesh", not power shaper net. It's stretchy and has good recovery, but it will not provide control. It's great for decorative sheer elements!
Go get your Prime on and get some activewear fabrics in those smiley envelopes!
I would love to sew activewear with the fabrics that you showed, but I don't understand why anyone would want to get all sweaty in something that you can't throw in a washer or wear into a swimming pool.
Some of these are absolutely appropriate for swimwear- I used the power shaper net on swim bottoms last year. I wash most of my spandex garments on cold and line dry for longevity.

Holloway is one of the most revered fighters in the UFC and has shared the cage with McGregor..
There wasn't much praise for Conor McGregor after his performance against Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229.
Having gone almost two years without a single MMA bout, the 'Notorious' looked rusty on his long-awaited comeback and wasn't sharp enough on his feet to cause his opponent real problems.
Even during the third round, which he justly won, McGregor didn't look capable of stealing the knockout victory he surely needed to defeat the dominant Nurmagomedov.
The Russian is regarded as one of the best wrestlers in the sport and gave himself a huge advantage with a dominant performance on the ground in the opening ten minutes.
Not only that, but Nurmagomedov proved he's no joke on his feet either by becoming the first UFC fighter to score a knockdown against McGregor with a swooping overhand right.
He would eventually secure the victory in the fourth round by submission, leading many to question McGregor's future in the sport and even the legitimacy of a possible rematch.
Plenty of big names have had their say and that includes fellow UFC fighters with flyweight champion Max Holloway now wading into the debate.
Having shared the cage with McGregor in the past, he had an interesting take on the fight and has given the 'Notorious' more praise than the majority of his contemporaries.
"Conor did a lot of great things in that fight," Holloway said.
"He actually won the third round but Khabib did a lot of greater things.
"Khabib was one step, one inch ahead. When Khabib gets you there, he just makes people look like rag-dolls.
So, it seems Holloway is somebody who does think McGregor would stand a chance in a rematch.
Not only did he call aspects of McGregor's performance 'great' but the margins that brought about his defeat seemed to come down to a matter of inches.
UFC fans will certainly debate Holloway's comments and only time will tell whether Dana White looks to put McGregor and Nurmagomedov in the octagon once again.
A key factor in the whole situation is how Nurmagomedov will be punished for his actions after the fight with a potential suspension coming his way.
For both fighters and a rematch, the future looks unclear.
Who do you think would win a rematch - Khabib or McGregor? Have your say in the comments section below.

Midfielder Jamie Ness missed the game against Doncaster Rovers on Saturday due to a calf injury. It meant Ness will not have played more than 30 games in each of the last four seasons and is yet to complete a full season since making his professional debut in 2011.
Winger Paul Anderson also missed the game after picking up a groin injury.
The nine corners conceded against Doncaster meant that Argyle have now conceded 270 corners so far this season, the highest in League One and only Bolton Wanderers have conceded more (271) in all four top leagues.

Interesting stat about corners.. would also be great to know how many of those corners turned into a goal being conceded, as this would help in trying to work out if this is a problem or something we can cope with, because if we are good at defending corners I'm not overly concerned about conceding one.
DA made a comment about Ness being injured again, is he out of contract in the summer? If he is I'd be worried about getting a decent offer of a new deal.

Jamie Ness's whole career has been a series of calf strains, groin strains and various other niggling injuries.
He has only managed to play more than 30 games once (31). He signed a 4-year contract at Stoke after an injury-plagued time at Rangers, got injured on his debut when he came on as a Sub in a League Cup game and never played for them again.
Adams double training sessions are just what he needs. If you look at his time with Argyle, most of his injuries have occurred on the training ground, as was the case again last week.
If Adams wants to play the same system next season he would be the obvious candidate to replace Fox in the QB role. It would disguise his lack of pace and also make him pass the ball forwards, hopefully.
However, with his injury record, even Adams has to think about offering him a new deal.
I think Fox has to go sadly. Cant tackle to save his life. At fault for first goal on Saturday by missing a tackle.

Potatoes for Family Uses.
The discussion about the poisonousness, or otherwise, of the potato "fruit" goes on in the background, and I will keep you informed. The potato was treated with great suspicion in Britain and Europe when it was first introduced from the New World. In addition to the general suspicion of any new food, it was feared as being poisonous (probably because it is from the 'Deadly Nightshade" family), as causing leprosy (probably because it was white,) and as being an aphrodisiac (probably because the fertile peasants used it) and also as inherently evil (because it was not mentioned in the Bible.) It was over two hundred years before it began to be taken seriously in the Old World as a useful, nutritious, and delicious food.
One of the earliest to write about the culture and day-to-day use of the potato (which he calls the Earth-Apple) was our old friend, William Ellis, who gave it a significant amount of space in The Modern Husbandman, Vol. III, (the months of July, August and September) published in 1744. Ellis' belief in the nutritional value of the potato (and of vegetables in general) and the consequences of a diet prominent in meat is remarkably up-to-date, and his range of recipe-ideas for them is extraordinary for the time.
The different Way of Dressing and preparing Potatoes for Family Uses.
IT is now become common, even among Quality, to make Use of this Earth-apple as a Supper-food great Part of the Winter-season, by roasting them in Embers, and eating them with Butter and Salt, in the Manner a boiled Egg is; and this, because of the light Nature of its Food, and the contrary Quality it has to the Breeding of the Scurvy, which causes it to induce Repose much better than the saline, scorbutic, heavy Nature of Flesh. And so careful are many of the knowing Sort of Persons at this Time, that, out of their paternal Affection to the future Health of their Childrens Bodies, they hinder them as much as they well can from eating Flesh at any Time, and, instead thereof, encourage them to the feeding on Vegetables, and particularly and most of all on the Potatoe. Accordingly, if this Oeconomy was more observed among all Sorts of Persons, there would not be such a diseased Progeny, as are commonly brought into the World by the hereditary Distempers of their Epicurean Parents; yet so fond are some of the Ignorant of Flesh-Diet, that I have known a Person to enjoy it in its full Extent, and never eat Bread with it. Another, whose Function I ought and do conceal, would constantly spoon up the Gravy of Meat where Decency did not hinder him ; but he dearly paid for this Epicurean Fancy, for he became so afflicted with the Gout, that one of his Intimates told him he ought to be constituted President of the Gouty Fraternity. There are many other Ways of preparing Potatoes for Eating besides roasting them in Embers, or boiling them, and eating them with melted Butter, as I am going to shew. .
A Second Way of preparing and dressing Potatoes. When Potatoes are to be boiled, put them into a Pot of cold Water, and allow them enough of it, else they will crack and let in the Water to the Loss of their best Taste; and for this Purpose Spring-water exceeds all others, as performing it in the best Manner, provided the Potatoes are nor boiled too furious in it, for a quick Fire is very apt to break them, before they are boiled enough. In my travelling between Bristol and Bridgwater, I put up at a lone House, where, asking what I and my Man could have to eat, the Woman told me, she had nothing but Bacon and Potatoes. I was surprised to hear of such a Dish at that Time of the Year, being the Month of June, for, in Hertfordshire and many other Countries, they have no Notion of eating them in the Summer-time, because they have not Skill enough to preserve them good all the While; but this Woman did, and her Way of doing it was this: Near Lady Day [March 25], she said she dug up all her Potatoes, when they appeared a little sprouted; upon which she immediately washed them, dried them, and packed them up in a square Heap on a wooden Floor along the Sides of the Walls about the Room, where the Fire she usually made for her daily Purposes very much contributed to their Preservation, though they lay two Feet high and two Feet broad; here they grew a little afterwards, but not so much, but that they eat very well, according to the Woman's Character of them, who told me beforehand, they would eat the more mellow, lighter, and sweeter for being thus sprouted; and, that they might answer the better, she fell to paring them directly, before she put them into the Pot; and I must needs say the Bacon and Potatoes, as she ordered them, proved a pleasant Dinner. But what I am here farther to remark is, that in these Parts they are such Lovers of Potatoes, that they employ their greatest Care in their Propagation and Preservation; insomuch that at Stoke-Market, in Somersetshire, on the sixteenth Day of June, 1737, they were sold for three Shillings a Bushel, and, there and at Bristol, they enjoyed them till near Michaelmas. An Example, I should think, sufficient to encourage the universal Planting and Preserving of this excellent Root, since, by this Precedent and what I have wrote, it plainly appears, that Potatoes may be enjoyed as Meat or Sauce all the Year. Others say, that, if Potatoes are peeled or pared like a Turnep, before they are boiled, it will make them taste watery and insipid; but, if some Salt and beaten Spice be first put into the Water, it will give them an agreeable Relish, provided they be eaten directly.
A Third Way. Others, when they are boiled, have a Sauce ready to put over them, made with Butter, Salt, and Pepper; others use Gravy Sauce, others Ketchup, some eat them boiled with only Pepper and Salt, others cut the large ones in Slices, and fry them with Onions, or stew them with Salt, Pepper, and Ale, or Water.
A Fourth Way: It is also a very common Way to boil them first, then peel them and lay them in the Dripping-pan under roasting Meat.
A Fifth Way, as I remember, the Welch follow very much, in Caermarthenshire in particular; they bake them with Herrings mixed with Layers of Salt, Pepper, Vinegar, sweet Herbs, and Water. Also they cut Mutton in Slices, and lay them in a Pan, and on them Potatoes and Spice, then another Layer of all the fame with half a Pint of Water; this they stew, covering all in the Time with Cloths round the Cover of the Stew-pan, and account it excellent Victuals.
A Sixth Way. The Irish have several Ways of eating them. The poorer Sort are often glad to eat them with only Salt, after they are boiled, others with Butter and Salt, but most of all with Milk and Sugar as the most delicious and most common Way of all others; and so when they can get a Piece of Pork, Bacon, or salt Beef, they account it an excellent Dish with their boiled Potatoes.
A Seventh Way, is to mash boiled Potatoes and then put them into Bacon or Pork-Broth, with Pepper, Spice, and sweet Herbs, and they will make a Soup like Pease-soup.
An Eighth Way, is to mash boiled Potatoes as fine as can be done; this with Spice, sweet Herbs dried, and beaten small, and mixed with Butter and Salt, makes a delicate Pudding for Rabbits, Hires, Fawns, Jacks, or Mullets, in the cheapest Manner that can well be; I mean, by putting and sowing it up in their Bellies, for being roasted in them.
A Ninth Way, is to mash them after the Potatoes are boiled, and then with a Mixture of other Ingredients, they will make a Composition for. Skin
A Tenth Way. Potatoes, boiled, pulped, and mixed with Milk and Salt into a Dough, will make Cakes, if baked.
Potatoe Bread. This Root has often been employed, like the Turnep, towards making Loaves of Bread in the scarce Times of Corn. Take as much boiled Pulp of Potatoes, as Wheaten Flour, Weight for Weight, and knead them together as common Dough is done for Bread.
Potatoe Pudding. Boil, peel, and beat them to a Mash in a Mortar. Take three Pounds of this Pulp, and add to it one Pound of Butter, whole Oatmeal, Currants, six Eggs, and Pepper, and Salt, and grated Nutmeg, and beat all well together in the Mortar for Boiling or Baking; when it is done, make a Hole in the Middle at Top, and pour in melted Butter. Another says, Add to the Pulp of Potatoes a fourth Part Weight of Marrow [bone marrow, not the vegetable marrow], and season all with Orange-juice, and Orange-flour Water, beaten Spice, and Rose-water; lay this in a prepared Paste in a Dish, and bake it in a gentle Oven; when ready, pour some sweetened Cream over it—Or, mix Potatoe-pulp with Apples chopped small, Cream, and Loafsugar, Powder of Cinnamon and Cloves; put all into a Paste and bake it in a slow Oven. Or, mix Potatoe-pulp with fat Bacon, finely cut, Oatmeal whole, Currants, Pepper, and Salt, which bake in a Pan. To fry Potatoes. When they are boiled and sliced, have Yolks of Eggs ready beaten up with a grated Nutmeg or two. When the Pan is hot you must dip them into the Yolks of Eggs and charge your Pan; when they are fried on both Sides, pour over your Layer of Butter, Vinegar, Sugar, and Rose-water.
Potato Fritters. Boil and then mix the Pulp with Milk, Clover, Cinnamon, and Loaf-sugar powdered. To this Batter add shredded Apples, and fry them like others, in Hogs-lard.—Or, to make them in a seasoned Way,- put to the Pulp Cream, and mix Pepper and Salt and Currants with them for a Batter, or, if you think fit, chopped Beef sewet may be added.
Potatoe Pye. Boil Potatoes (not too much) cut them forth in Slices as thick as your Thumb, season them with Nutmeg, Cinnamon, Ginger, and Sugar; your Coffin being ready, put them in over the Bottom; add to them the Marrow of two or three Bones, seasoned as aforesaid, a Handful of stoned Raisins of the Sun, Dates, Orangado, Citron, with Ringo-roots [Eringo-roots] sliced, put Butter over it, and bake them; Let their Layer [Lear] be a little Vinegar, Sack, and Sugar, beaten up with the Yolk of an Egg, and a little drawn Butter; when your Pye is enough, pour it in, shake it together, scrape on Sugar, garnish it, and serve it up.
The Farmers Way of Dressing them. Our common Way of dressing Potatoes is, to boil them, peel them, and slice them; when this is done, we put them into a Dish with boiled Salt-fish, or with a Piece of Bacon, or with pickled Pork, or with powdered Beef, or under a Shoulder or Leg of Mutton; in short, this is the best Root in the World for supplying the Place of Bread and Meat, because it is nourishing, pleasant, and cloying, and thus they will very much lessen the Charge of Flesh; so that the Farmer who does not furnish himself every Year by a Plantation of Potatoes, I am sure, is not his own Friend.
