"Great to listen to in bed"
The Beatles have been in our lives for half a century and surely always will be. Still, somehow, their music excites, their influence resonates, their fame sustains. New generations find and love them, and while many other great artists come and go, the Beatles are proving beyond eclipse. So ... who really were these people, and just how did it all happen?

"A bit disappointing"
A detailed account of Gaga's rise to fame, from her early life when she was known as Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, through to her current super-stardom.
By rights, Ozzy Osbourne should not be alive. He spent forty years on a hell-raising, bat-biting, ant-snorting*, drink and drug-fuelled bender.

He is a walking medical miracle. So who better to offer the public medical advice and support?

"hard going"
Smart and incisive, this unique book takes us through Bruce Springsteen's life by tracing the cultural, political, and personal forces that shaped his music. Beyond his constant stylistic adaptations, Springsteen developed over the decades from expressing the voice of a guy from working-class New Jersey to writing about the larger issues facing the country, including war, class disparity, and prejudice. Marc Dolan draws on a range of new and little-known sources - including hundreds of unreleased studio recordings and bootlegs of live performances - making this an indispensable reference for avid Springsteen fans as well as those interested in learning the stories behind his music.
When Bruce Springsteen went back on the road in 1984, he opened every show by shouting out, "one, two, one, two, three, four," followed by the droning synth chords of "Born in the U.S.A." Max Weinberg hit his drums with a two-fisted physicality that cut through the swelling chords. With a rolled-up red kerchief around his head and heavy black boots under his faded jeans, Springsteen looked like the character of the song, and from the very first line.

In Relentless, Malmsteen shares his personal story, from the moment he burst onto the scene seemingly out of nowhere in the early 80s to become a household name in the annals of heavy metal.
To absorb Rum, Sodomy, & the Lash is to be taken on a wild voyage with a cast of downtrodden revolutionaries.

Advanced cancer patients able to state their own pain goals

MedWire News: Advanced cancer patients are successfully able to express their desired level of pain relief on a scale of 1–10, indicating that personalized pain goals could be a novel target for pain treatment response, say researchers.
Personalized pain goals respect what is acknowledged to be the gold standard in assessing pain intensity; patient self-report, adds the team, and the study findings indicate that personalized pain goals are a reliable measure since they remained stable over time.
"Pain is among the most frequent, feared, and burdensome of symptoms in cancer patients and negatively impacts quality of life," explain Shalini Dalal (The University of Texas MD Anderson Center, Houston, USA) and colleagues.
They remark that the definition of a meaningful improvement in pain is lacking, but that research has shown that good communication between healthcare teams and patients, along with patient involvement in pain management, are related to greater patient satisfaction....

Technique and condition
The painting was executed on a single piece of fine, plain weave linen canvas that was attached to an aluminium stretcher surrounded by softwood battens with staples around all edges. The linen appears commercially primed, but was more likely to have been primed by the artist and then cut down to its present size (the top edge is unprimed). An unpigmented animal glue 'size' layer was probably the first layer to be applied to the canvas. The subsequent white priming is an oil ground, and has the appearance of a coating applied with a roller. The overall priming is even and thin, with the canvas texture still very apparent through it.
Prior to any paint application, the artist drew in the figure and many of the details with an oil stick, which is a pigmented waxy material, often in purple. Most of this preparatory drawing can still be seen through the very thin paint layers. The oil paint that was applied on top of this would have been heavily diluted with white spirits or turpentine and has therefore resulted in extremely thin layers. Many areas also appear to have been rubbed back with a rag immediately after application to thin (and blur) the paint layers even further. Mostly single applications of paint were used, although occasionally the artist used build ups of more that one layer (for example in the hair to right of face). The paint surface essentially conforms to the canvas texture apart from the occasional slight impasto, such as in the eyes and nipples. Much of the white colour used in the body appears to be largely the ground layer and subsequently consists of no paint layers whatsoever. The painting is not varnished.
The painting is in excellent condition and should remain so providing appropriate care is taken when handling and displaying the work.

What's the best way of checking if an object property in JavaScript is undefined?
If an object variable which have some properties you can use same thing like this:
I believe there are a number of incorrect answers to this topic. Contrary to common belief, "undefined" is NOT a keyword in JavaScript and can in fact have a value assigned to it.
The most robust way to perform this test is:
This will always return the correct result, and even handles the situation where
In JavaScript there is null and there is undefined. They have different meanings.
Marijn Haverbeke states, in his free, online book "Eloquent JavaScript" (emphasis mine):
So, I guess the best way to check if something was undefined would be:
Hope this helps!
Edit: In response to your edit, object properties should work the same way.
The issue boils down to three cases:
This tells us something I consider important:
There is a difference between an undefined member and a defined member with an undefined value.
But unhappily
Its worth noting that these tests are the same for
I'd argue that in some cases it makes more sense (and is clearer) to check whether the property is there, than checking whether it is undefined, and the only case where this check will be different is case 2, the rare case of an actual entry in the object with an undefined value.
For example: I've just been refactoring a bunch of code that had a bunch of checks whether an object had a given property.
Which was clearer when written without a check for undefined.
But as has been mentioned these are not exactly the same (but are more than good enough for my needs).
This worked for me while the others didn't.
I'm not sure where the origin of using
What does this mean: "undefined object property"?
Actually it can mean two quite different things! First, it can mean the property that has never been defined in the object and, second, it can mean the property that has an undefined value. Let's look at this code:
We can clearly see that
So what to do?
1) You want to know if a property is undefined by either the first or second meaning (the most typical situation).
2) You want to just know if object has some property and don't care about its value.
Final fight:
You say lots of right things, but your statements about serverside js are unfounded and wrong. It doesn't need an (accessible) global object for global variables,
undefined does exist very well. And it doesn't need to have a
window reference to the global object to have a global object at all. Actually, in Node.js you can access it via the
global variable (and of course via
Aug 28 '13 at 12:59
@Bergi thank you for your comment. I have corrected my answer. In my defense I can say that currently (as of v.0.10.18) official Node.js documentation says nothing about
undefined as a member of
global. Also neither
console.log(global); nor
for (var key in global) { ... } doesn't show undefined as a member of global. But test like
'undefined' in global show the opposite.

It didn't need extra documentation since it's in the EcmaScript spec, which also says that
[[Enumerable]] is false :-)

+1 for identifying the issues and a good effort at answering them. – RobG Apr 1 at 1:13
Minuses of typeof obj.prop == 'undefined', this can be avoided by writing as
typeof obj.prop == typeof undefined. This also gives a very nice symmetry.
Oct 24 at 11:01
Many of the existing answers are misleading at best.
Never use
Of course, this potential already exists in the case of object properties, which appears to be the topic of this question. Let's just ignore the
The "default value" of a property on an object is
This will check for the existence of the
This will check for the existence of the
This is the same as above, but will use the canonical
This one also checks for
This checks for the other falsy values (I hope that's obvious) –
To sum up: don't use
If you are paranoid about
Still paranoid? Compare against
Crossposting my answer from related question How to check for "undefined" in JavaScript?
Specific to this question, see test cases with
Some scenarios illustrating the results of the various answers: http://jsfiddle.net/drzaus/UVjM4/
(Note that the use of
Code for reference:
And results:
I didn't see (hope I didn't miss it) anyone checking the object before the property. So, this is the shortest and most effective (though not necessarily the most clear):
If the obj or obj.prop is undefined, null, or "falsy", the if statement will not execute the code block. This is usually the desired behavior in most code block statements (in JavaScript).
If you do
it will fail when the variable
Because the window object has a global scope (default object) outside a function, a declaration will be 'attached' to the window object.
For example:
The global variable myvar is the same as window.myvar or window['myvar']
To avoid errors to test when a global variable exists, you better use:
The question if a variable really exists doesn't matter, its value is incorrect. Otherwise, it is silly to initialize variables with undefined, and it is better use the value false to initialize. When you know that all variables that you declare are initialized with false, you can simply check its type or rely on
When you expect a specific type, test the type of the variable. To speed up testing a condition you better do:
When the first and simple condition is true, the interpreter skips the next tests.
It is always better to use the instance/object of the variable to check if it got a valid value. It is more stable and is a better way of programming.
Returns false if variable is set, and true if is undefined.
Then use:
'if (window.x) { }' is error safe
Most likely you want
Example: I want to know if my browser supports History API
How this works:
window is an object which holds all global variables as its members, and it is legal to try to access a non-existing member. If x hasn't been declared or hasn't been set then
All the answers are incomplete. This is the right way of knowing that there is a property 'defined as undefined' :
Too bad that this been the right answer is buried in wrong answers >_<
So, for anyone who pass by, I will give you undefineds for free!!
The solution is incorrect. In JavaScript,
will return true, because they both are "casted" to a boolean and are false. The correct way would be to check
which is the identity operator...
You can get an array all undefined with path using the following code.
jsFiddle link
In the article Exploring the Abyss of Null and Undefined in JavaScript I read that frameworks like Underscore.js use this function:
Going through the comments, for those who want to check both is it undefined or its value is null:
If you are using jQuery Library then
Here is my situation:
I am using the result of a REST call. The result should be parsed from JSON to a JavaScript object.
There is one error I need to defend. If the args to the rest call were incorrect as far as the user specifying the args wrong, the rest call comes back basically empty.
While using this post to help me defend against this, I tried this.
For my situation, if restResult.data[0] === "object", then I can safely start inspecting the rest of the members. If undefined then throw the error as above.
What I am saying is that for my situation, all the suggestions above in this post did not work. I'm not saying I'm right and everyone is wrong. I am not a JavaScript master at all, but hopefully this will help someone.
Compare with
It's not as verbose as
Also same things can be written shorter:
I would like to show you something I'm using in order to protect the
This forbids anyone to change the
This doesn't look up through the prototype chain, however.
You can also make it into a function, as shown here:

Obama Accepts Nomination Before Record 84,000
Senator Barack Obama accepted the Democratic presidential nomination Thursday, capping an historic eighteen-month campaign. More than 84,000 people packed Denver's pro football stadium to hear Obama speak on the final night of the Democratic National Convention. Obama promised a new path from what he called "the failed policies" of President Bush.
Sen. Barack Obama: "These challenges are not all of government's making. But the failure to respond is a direct result of a broken politics in Washington and the failed policies of George W. Bush. America, we are better than these last eight years. We are a better country than this."
Throughout, Obama sounded off on his campaign theme that a John McCain presidency would continue the policies of President Bush.
Sen. Barack Obama: "John McCain has voted with George Bush 90 percent of the time. Senator McCain likes to talk about judgment, but, really, what does it say about your judgment when you think George Bush has been right more than 90 percent of the time?"
Obama also acknowledged the perceived doubts around his unexpected rise to the nomination.
Sen. Barack Obama: "I get it. I realize that I am not the likeliest candidate for this office. I don't fit the typical pedigree, and I haven't spent my career in the halls of Washington. But I stand before you tonight, because all across America something is stirring. What the naysayers don't understand is that this election has never been about me. It's about you."
Obama spoke on the forty-fifth anniversary of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech.
Gore Backs Obama, Invokes 2000 Loss
Earlier in the night, former Vice President Al Gore addressed the crowd to tout Obama and criticize McCain. In an apparent dig at three-time presidential candidate Ralph Nader and his supporters, Gore referenced his own election loss to President Bush in 2000.
Al Gore: "Eight years ago, some said there was not much difference between the nominees of the two major parties, and it didn't really matter who became president. Our nation was enjoying peace and prosperity, and some assumed we would continue with both, no matter the outcome. But here we all are in 2008, and I doubt anyone would argue now that election didn't matter. Take it from me, if it had ended differently, we would not be bogged down in Iraq, we would have pursued bin Laden until we captured him. We would not be facing a self-inflicted economic crisis; we would be fighting for middle-income families. We would not be showing contempt for the Constitution; we'd be protecting the rights of every American, regardless of race, religion, disability, gender or sexual orientation. And we would not be denying the climate crisis; we'd be solving it."
Many Democrats have blamed Nader for Gore's narrow loss to President Bush in 2000. Gore also criticized Republican candidate John McCain for backing the Bush administration's policies.
Al Gore: "John McCain, a man who has earned our respect on many levels, is now openly endorsing the policies of the Bush-Cheney White House and promising to actually continue them. The same policies, those policies, all over again? Hey, I believe in recycling, but that's ridiculous. With John McCain's support, President Bush and Vice President Cheney have led our nation into one calamity after another because of their indifference to facts; their readiness to sacrifice the long term to the short term, subordinate the general good to the benefit of the few and short-circuit the rule of law."
McCain to Announce VP Candidate
On the Republican side, Senator McCain is expected to unveil his vice-presidential running mate today at a rally in Dayton, Ohio. Speculation is centering on Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney.
Pentagon Disputes UN Account of Afghan Civilian Massacre
The Pentagon continues to deny a mass killing of Afghan civilians in an air strike last week. On Thursday, US officials said a military probe corroborated its initial claim just five civilians were killed in the attack. The Pentagon's line contradicts both the Afghan government and the United Nations. A UN investigation earlier this week found some ninety civilians, including sixty children, were killed in the attack. If confirmed, the strike would be the deadliest known US attack on Afghan civilians since the invasion of 2001.
"Free Gaza" Boats Begin Return from Historic Mission
In the Occupied Territories, two boats of international peace activists have started their return journey from the Gaza Strip. The boats defied Israel's blockade of Gaza to deliver humanitarian aid. They are returning with seven Palestinians on board, including a ten-year-old boy who lost a leg in an Israeli army attack in 2005. The activists say the seven Palestinians' departure marks the first time a Palestinian has ever been allowed to freely exit the Occupied Territories. Israel had initially threatened to stop the boats, but relented in an apparent effort to avoid international scrutiny. Huwaida Arraf, co-founder of the International Solidarity Movement, said she fears Israel could interfere with the ships on their journey back to Cyprus.
Huwaida Arraf: "We plan to take them with us. We do not know what we will expect at sea. We have had indications that Israel might stop us. But we know full well that the Palestinians that are coming with us have the right papers, have the right visas, and they should be allowed to travel. There is no reason why Israel is holding them hostage, holding them prisoners in Gaza, and denying
them medical attention, denying them education, denying them family reunification."
Passengers also include Lauren Booth, sister-in-law of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair. Jeff Halper, the lone Israeli Jew on board, was arrested after returning to Israel. Halper heads the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions. He was charged with violating an Israeli law barring Israelis from visiting Gaza.
Ex-Marine Acquitted in Killing Iraqi Prisoners
A former Marine has been acquitted of killing four unarmed Iraqi prisoners during the US assault on Fallujah in November 2004. Jose Luis Nazario, Jr. was facing up to ten years in jail. He was the first civilian to be tried under a federal law allowing the prosecution of former military service members for war crimes.
Gitmo Suicides Came Before News of Pending Release
New information shows at least three Guantanamo Bay prisoners who committed suicide on the same day in June 2006 were unaware they were close to being freed. Family members of Ali Ahmed, Yasser al-Zahrani and Mani al-Utaybi have filed a wrongful death lawsuit against US officials. The families say the military should have allowed attorneys to inform the prisoners of their possible release. According to military officials, the detainees committed suicide by hanging themselves with nooses made of sheets and clothing and died before they could be revived. Attorneys say they don't think the prisoners would have taken their lives had they been updated on their case.
Putin Accuses US of Stoking Georgia Conflict
Russian President Vladimir Putin has accused the Bush administration of encouraging the Georgian-Russia military conflict to apparently benefit Republican candidate John McCain. In an interview with CNN, Putin said, "The suspicion would arise that someone in the US created this conflict on purpose to stir up the situation and to create an advantage for one of the candidates…They needed a small victorious war." The White House dismissed Putin's comments. Press Secretary Dana Perino said the Georgian conflict would threaten US-Russia ties.
White House Press Secretary Dana Perino: "We are in the process of re-evaluating our relationship with Russia, and we are doing that in concert with our international partners, such as France, but also many others, including Germany and all of the NATO countries. It's premature to say — I don't know what ultimately will result from the process that people are going to discuss what the consequences may be."
Hurricane Gustav Kills 59 in Haiti
The toll from Hurricane Gustav continues to rise. Fifty-nine people were killed in Haiti this week after Gustav set off massive flooding and landslides. Another eight people were killed in neighboring Dominican Republic. The State of Louisiana says it's taking advanced precautions should Gustav make landfall along the Gulf Coast. Today also marks the third anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.
Ex-Argentine Junta Generals Sentenced to Life Terms
In Argentina, two top generals in Argentine's military dictatorship have been sentenced to life in prison. Antonio Domingo Bussi and Luciano Benjamin were each found guilty of human rights abuses during the seven-year junta that ended in 1983.
Jailed Lobbyist Abramoff Could See Early Release
The jailed Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff could be getting out of jail earlier than expected. The Justice Department has announced it's recommended reducing Abramoff's sentence because he aided a federal investigation into political corruption. Abramoff's testimony helped jail former Ohio Congressmember Bob Ney and former Deputy Interior Secretary Steven Griles. Abramoff is already serving a six-year sentence for directing a phony casino purchase. He faces another eleven years for bribing lawmakers. Prosecutors have asked a federal judge to reduce the casino sentence to four years, freeing Abramoff up for parole in 2011.
Israeli Peace Activist Abie Nathan Dies at 81

I love The Internet of Things. You do, too, even if you don't know exactly what it is yet. Hardly a day goes by where I don't find a story about some awesome company creating some new awesome gadget that taps into The Internet of Things. Scrolling through these stories is like taking a peek at the world (and our homes!) three to five years down the line.
But, uh, what exactly is The Internet of Things? And why should you care?
Great questions! Let's sort it all out.
What Is The Internet of Things?
Basically, The Internet of Things is how all of your connected devices talk to each other. Whether you're talking about your smartphone and Bluetooth speakers or your Nest thermostat and Philips Hue light bulbs, The Internet of Things is an invisible network that links everything together.
Still having a hard time picturing it? Think about it like this. My iPhone can do all the things an iPhone can do. But it can also talk to…
- My computer to control iTunes
- My Apple TV to act like a remote
- My Xbox One and PlayStation 4 to get info and re-arrange apps
- My TiVo to change the channel and schedule recordings
Those are all very cool (and basic) things, and I'm probably missing a handful more. Your phone can do all that stuff, too. The Internet of Things takes that idea and amplifies it. Suddenly, with the right hardware, my phone can control…
- Baby monitoring systems
- Thermostats
- Light bulbs (and more light bulbs)
- Security cameras
- Ceiling fans
- Sprinkler systems
- … and more!
My phone can also track information gathered by smart devices, like…
- E-Cigarettes
- Coffee cups
- Garden gauges
- … and more!
Not only that, these devices can talk to each other. IFTTT (if this, then that), coupled with The Internet of Things, opens up endless possibilities. Suddenly, your thermostat can gauge where you are, and heat or cool your home before you arrive. Your lamp can track you, too, and let your friends or co-workers know how far away you are at any given time. Anything can talk to anything to do anything. And it's awesome.
What's Next?
A lot of companies are gearing up to become the "standard" for The Internet of Things. Google and Nest are trying to do it. Microsoft and Qualcomm are trying to do it. Wink is trying to do it. So is Homey. Marvell is getting ready. And they're all gearing up because The Internet of Things is about to explode, as it's expected to grow by three to four times in the next five years.
The only thing surrounding The Internet of Things that's more prevalent than awesome possibilities is questions about its future. It's a booming business, and one of the key points Shelly will be talking about at CES in January. But because it's so new, and because so many companies are vying for market share, it's a bit like the Wild West. That means it's very exciting – and also (more than) a little scary.
Buckle up. This ride's just getting started.
"We help companies that are using a lot of Software as a Service. We help companies manage and gain visibility into what people are using inside the company and decide to secure them or use standards to lock down or to embrace the adoption of SaaS inside the company," explained Scott Kriz, Co-founder and CEO of Bitium, in this SYS-CON.tv interview at 15th Cloud Expo, held Nov 4–6, 2014, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA.

Some developers believe that monitoring is a function of the operations team. Some operations teams firmly believe that monitoring the systems they maintain is sufficient to run the business successfully. Most of them are wrong.

When an enterprise builds a hybrid IaaS cloud connecting its data center to one or more public clouds, security is often a major topic along with the other challenges involved. Security is closely intertwined with the networking choices made for the hybrid cloud. Traditional networking approaches for building a hybrid cloud try to kludge together the enterprise infrastructure with the public cloud. Consequently this approach requires risky, deep "surgery" including changes to firewalls, subnets...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happe...

Village church ransacked as vandals attack on day of riots
Country/Region: United Kingdom, Europe
|Church of St Peter and St Paul's, Nether Heyford, Northamptonshire, England
CC BY-SA 2.0 by Ian Rob
A village church in Northampton was ransacked by vandals on a day riots swept through the nation.
Police are investigating the crime but have said that there is no evidence to suggest that the incident was linked to the national disorder.
Offenders invaded the church of St Peter and St Paul in Nether Heyford, Northampton, on Tuesday 9 August, causing damage to the pulpit, font, lectern and bell tower. The incident happened sometime between 10am and 5.30pm in the 12th- century church, which is left open to the public during the day for private worship.
The parish church is left unsupervised, so the damage was not discovered until the building was locked up at around 5pm.
Assistant curate the Rev Andrea Watkins said that the church would now have to close in the daytime.
She said:
It's just tragic for the community. We keep this church open in the day time so people can use it for quiet time and prayer space but unfortunately for the foreseeable future it will have to close.
The Rev David Smith, who retired after 13 years at the church, said he had never seen anything like the destruction caused.
He said chairs were tipped over, prayer books were ripped, glass windows in the bell tower were smashed and the lectern, the ancient lid of the font, the wooden cross at the altar and a candle stick on the pulpit were all broken.
He confirmed that nothing was stolen from the church but said he did not know how much it would cost to repair.
He added:
I am disgusted by this. It just makes me feel sick.
The vandals haven't achieved anything by doing this. I just can't understand why they would.
Ms Watkins said it was not known if the attack was linked to the riots that took place in London, Manchester, Birmingham and other cities and towns last week.
However she said the community, like many others across the country, had pulled together to clean up the mess.
Around 20 volunteers descended on the church yesterday morning to tidy up the debris, and Ms Watkins said:
The community spirit has been the winner in this. People who never come to the church but live nearby and have heard about the damage have come to help. The church means a lot to the village.

Bobby V Interview
|Bobby V
|Blue Kolla Dreams
|Next Project:
|Special Occasion (Available December 2006!)
|Bobby V on Twitter
|Bobby V's Website
Bobby V was presented to the world, via Disturbing Tha Peace, through his solo release in 2005. Slightly over a year later Bobby V embarks on his sophomore release, Special Occasion, which has expectations through the roof. After selling nearly 1 million albums—to date Bobby has sold approximately 880,000 units—on the strength of singles "Slow Down," and "Tell Me" (featuring Lil' Wayne), Bobby knows what he needs to do in order to "elevate" his career to the next level. That business-minded attitude is something that he developed while earning his undergraduate degree from Clark Atlanta University.
Claiming that his new material is "arguably his best body of work to date," Bobby intends on unveiling a style he didn't fully convey the first time around. Special Occasion boasts production duties from a plethora of talented industry folk including Rodney Jerkins, Sean Garrett, Tim & Bob, Bryan Michael Cox and Dre & Vidal. Unlike "Disturbing Tha Peace presents Bobby Valentino," which was strictly produced by Tim & Bob, Bobby's new collaborations allow for his unique voice to shine in a variety of lights (ie. Turn The Page). As far as features verses are concerned, Bobby explains "We'll see how many checks I feel like writing!"
During his interview with DJ "Z," Bobby explains the driving adventures which spurned the idea behind the album's buzz single "Wreck (The Err Song)," why artists can't blame their labels for a lack of promotion and how every day following the December drop date will be a truly Special Occasion.
