Sten Hugo Hiller - 627184: Mountain Climbing Mecha Combat #1356

(By Sten Hugo Hiller - 627184) Mountain Climbing Mecha Combat #1356 Brought to you by ANN Highlighting the October 3364 Laser Blast Chrono The Gaming Authorities finally gave us an event where all Mechs were legal again. And they threw in a couple bonuses as well: Firstly: All Lasers would dish out 80% additional damage. Secondly: They made it a Chrono. Was I pleased or not? Mostly pleased. Admittedly, there is not enough Mechs, Equipment and Weapons in my hangar to make a top weapon-type formation of any kind. But I suspect most of the other Commanders have the same problem.... The fact that it was a Chrono might be helpful as it would be the score over a three-digit number of scorerounds that determined the winner, not a last minute scramble. Yeah, I have won some hair-raising furballs in my time, but I have lost many more. And since we were to compete on K3, where all the regulars had higher licences than us, odds of succeeding in such a furball were low. So the formation were sent to the mountains, and we were among the first who arrived. The number of contestants were less than a handfull, so a spot on the slopes were guaranteed, and the points started trickling in. But so did the opposition, and several of the hardest opponents I ever face was among them. Not to say anything bad about the rest of those who were on the top, but the top quartet (KiloTone Recoil from Brotherhood of Arcane Dragons, + Ken Fuchs, roward and David Sifford from Northwind Dragons) were in a class of their own, and none of the rest of us had any realistic chance of beating them. Which left the last slope position up for grabs. It was three of us competing for it; Ales Hasala of Black Star Lycan Rangers, Chris Zimmer from Northwind Dragons, and yours truly. Of the trio, Zimmer was undoubtedly the strongest, but Hasala and I was the most active. The positions changed frequently, and many a time it took me dozens of failed strikes against Zimmer before we managed to take the spot. -Just to be ambushed by Hasala and sent exhausted back to the foothills again. But preservance, wakefulness and bloody-minded stubborness carried the day, and after the light flashed we were given a spot in the second row during the award ceremony. The crew had also worked dilligently, and gotten enough footage for me to discover the highest scorers in the event had been: Div 1 356+ (30 Commanders): Fabio Favaro, Warlocks HQ (+6720) 2: Claude Poirier 3: Roy Cheah 4: Bernard Johnson 5: Jeff Haas 6: David Buchanan 7: Gary Muenzel 8: Shawn Wretham 9: Ben Rail 10: Sal Vezzosi Jr Div 2 -355 (14 Commanders): George Warren, Warlocks HQ (+110) Div 3 -264 (20 Commanders): David Sifford, Northwind Dragons (+20370) Div 4 -193 (15 Commanders): Jelloshots Succeddown, T.B. BlackWatch (+13580) Div 5 -152 (32 Commanders): Spike Shepard, T.B. BlackWatch (+9400) Div 6 -107 (18 Commanders): Spartia Mechapoulos, T.I.o.M.T. (+5540) Div 7 -80 (29 Commanders): Kyle Mardon, Renegades (+19880) Div 8 -54 (14 Commanders): Matthew Le Gassick, R.V. (+12670) Div 9 -36 (13 Commanders): Cathy Goetz, I.N.A. (+31080) Div 10 -25 (16 Commanders): Restlessmech, I.N.A. (+16750) Div 11 -17 (16 Commanders): Iaiskottelu, RED AXE (+19210) Total Contestants: 217 Total medals claimed: 161 (of 165 possible) This event attracted fourty-four more Commanders than the previous one. Unfortunately, there were still some imbalance between the tops, and as a result four Bronzes (from a trio of tops) ended unclaimed and had to be returned for resmelting. Highest score achieved in this event was on K11 where Iaiskottelu from RED AXE held the top against all comers for all the 113 scorerounds and ended at 141 250. Biggest gap to the runner-up was on K8 where Indo Nusa Alliance`s Cathy Goetz won by 31 080 (more than most competitors had in total). Lowest hanging medal this time was on K2, where a Bronze was given to a late entrant without even a single point scored. Five of the Golds were decided by margins of at least 16 000, but we also had a close-drawn fight where the final difference was just 110. So, was this an exiting and close fight on most of the tops then? Hard to say, but we can answer partway by looking at the differences between the medal tiers in this event: ..Silver to Bronze....Bronze to nothing Div 1 ....19550......…….......300 Div 2 ....15860...…..............N/A Div 3 ......5180...…..............180 Div 4 ......7900...…..............N/A Div 5 ........920...…..............680 Div 6 ....17750...…............2280 Div 7 ........740...…............1020 Div 8 ......8030...…..............N/A Div 9 ....23900...…..............N/A Div 10 ....4300...…............4080 Div 11 ....7900...…..........11220 We had some big and some really impressive walls here. But also, three of the seven contested Bronzes and two of the silvers were determined by less than 1000. Could it be the differences were from who signed up first? Something to keep in mind when the next Chrono is announced. Three of the clans claimed a double Gold in this event. Warlocks Headquarters on Mount Olympus + K2, The Brotherhood BlackWatch on K4 + K5 and Indo Nusa Alliance on K9 + K10. There were no unaligned winners this time, and the sole repeat winner was Spartia Mechapoulos from The Isle of Misfit Toys on K6. Upcoming event: Banshee Here we get another split event. On the lowest top (K11) they have an unlimited event. On all other tops the sole legal Mech model is the Unification derived 30 ton Banshee. But dont despair. Even if you should be without any such Mechs you can still compete. After all, -if the one you challenge is also out of stock, you will win by default. Event ends november 1 between 0030 and 0100 New York Time

Barclays FA Women’s Super League season preview

All eyes are focused on the Barclays FA Women & # 39; s Super League this weekend, while top-class action returns with great match-ups on Etihad on Saturday and Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

The renewed interest in the ladies game, ignored by the lionesses' ability to capture the imagination of the nation in France has seen the competition as a main sponsor, bumper marketing deals and free online match streaming platform by The FA

But the biggest challenge the competition faces this year is getting fans through the gates on seats, week after week, something that the Division 1 Female in France despite a home cup failed

Here, Sportsmail Previews of the 2019-20 Barclays FA WSL season …

Arsenal won the Super League last season and will be pushed hard while fighting to keep it

Large stadiums organize major games after the opening weekend of the season

With the opening of showpieces, including the Manchester derby and Chelsea v Tottenham Hotspur, played in the Etihad and Stamford Bridge, respectively, it was only a matter of time before other clubs followed.

Spurs announced that the Women & # 39; s Super League & # 39; s first derby will be played in North London in November at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. West Ham then followed by revealing their plans to organize their game against Spurs at the London Stadium with 60,000 seats later this month.

Etihad Stadium in Manchester City will host the Manchester derby on the opening weekend

Can Arsenal successfully

Joe Montemurro continue to be the main focus this season, despite the fact that Arsenal has been hunting for the UEFA Champions League trophy for the first time in more than five years.

Dutch defender Dominique Bloodworth left North London to join Frauen-Bundesliga, Wolfsburg this summer, but that remains their only major departure.

Although the Gunners still have set favorites this season, you can guarantee that they will be pushed hard by last season's runners in Manchester City who have reached a top two finish in their last five WSL campaigns. .

Although Nikita Parris made the switch to Lyon, Nick Cushing & # 39; s double-winning party added firepower with the arrival of Lethal England striker Ellen White from Birmingham City.

Arsenal has to contend with a Champions League campaign under Joe Montemurro

How will the Newly promoted teams rate in the top flight?

Casey Stoney has played the title chances of Manchester United despite smart summer recruitment and the support of one of the world's largest football clubs

But let's not forget that only 15 months ago the United Women & # 39; s Women & # 39; s team did not even exist. Promoting promotion for the top flight champions in their inaugural season was an achievement, but only lost once – although they were the only full-time team in the competition.

Second place Tottenham Hotspur, who made the leap from part-time contracts, now play their home games at The Hive.

Head coach duo Karen Hills and Juan Amoros won nine new signings, in particular the 32-year-old English winger and four-time WSL title winner Gemma Davison. For a party that went toe-to-toe in a tight title race with United last season, everything less than a mid-table finish would be disappointing.

United have backed up for the summer and are ready for their inaugural top flight season

Which teams are most likely to be involved in a relegation battle?

Only four points apart Brighton and Everton at the bottom of the table last season and they only missed narrowly demotion by the Yeovil Town 10-point penalty for entering the administration

Everton , who won only three games last season, is undergoing some rebuilding, with manager Willie Kirk preparing for his first full season. After shipping seven players and registering six, making this squadron click could be a big challenge for Kirk.

Who were the biggest surprises in the transfer window?

Casey Stoney, the boss of Manchester, has admitted that Lyon & # 39; s last-minute dive for club captain and first choice left back Alex Greenwood surprised them.

On the blue side of Manchester, city wing Claire Emslie made the switch to the National Women & # 39; s Soccer League side Orlando Pride. The Scottish international now plays alongside six-time world player of the year Marta and double world cup winner Alex Morgan.

Alex Greenwood from England made a last minute move to Lyon in one fell swoop for Manchester United

THE BARCLAYS FA WOMEN SUPER LEAGUE: SIX PLAYERS TO WATCH

1. Jackie Greens – Manchester United

The Dutch central midfielder was Casey Stoney & # 39; s first major signing this summer prior to their debut season in the Women & # 39; s Super League and could prove to be one of the smartest things in this transfer window

The 24-year-old judo champion and, who became a member of FFC Frankfurt, returns to English football four years after leaving Chelsea. Jackie Groenen also scored in particular the goal that Holland scored this year in the World Cup Final.

2. Vivianne Miedema – Arsenal

After becoming top scorer last season, with 22 goals in 20 games, the productive Dutchman of Arsenal confirmed her name in the history books to be summer by its top scorer of all time.

Vivianne Miedema is only 23 and already has three career competition titles to her name plus a winner's medal of Euro 2017 and a silver medal of the World Cup in France.

Vivianne Meidema enjoyed a successful summer and once became Dutch top scorer of all time

3. Erin Cuthbert – Chelsea

Chelsea striker Erin Cuthbert led Scotland this summer to their very first World Cup and pulled out despite their dramatic exit the 21-year competition worldwide attention.

Known for her ability to score spectacular goals from a distance, her semi-volleyball match against Lyon in the Champions League semi-final last season was chosen as the goal of the tournament.

4. Jordan Nobbs – Arsenal

The England's captain scored from his first shot in a pre-season win over Tottenham Hotspur last month after turning nine months tilted with an earlier cruciate ligament injury.

Jordan Nobbs successfully helped the Gunners to retain the WSL title in 2012, and with so far 12 trophies won in her nine-year career in North London, the midfielder could play a crucial role in the attempt by Arsenal to defend their title.

England Deputy Captain Jordan Nobbs scored from his first preseason shot win Spurs

5. Melissa Lawley – Liverpool

Securing Melissa Lawley's services is a letter of intent from Liverpool boss Vicky Jepson . In her two and a half year spell in Manchester City, the 25-year-old midfielder won two FA Cups, the Continental Cup, and reached the semifinals of the Champions League.

After being called up for the England squadron this month to replace the injured Jade Moore, Lawley will set her sights on becoming a more regular face in the side of Phil Neville with the 2020 Olympic Games and home Euro & # 39; s coming in 2021.

6. Maeva Clemaron – Everton

The international midfielder of France, who was trained at the Lyon Academy for a year, made the move to Merseyside FC Fleury after he had been called Corinne Diacre & 23's player World Cup Team

Given that she competed with decorated skipper Amandine Henry, it is no surprise that Maeva Clemaron did not manage the starting line-up of the to reach the host country. The 26-year-old is one of the external players to watch.

Different Types of Liability in a Restaurant or Bar

Running or owning a restaurant can be a really fun experience. It can also take up a lot of your time and require your full responsibility. Not only for your actions, but the actions of others. If you run a restaurant or plan to buy one in the future here are a few liabilities you will want to consider.

DUIs

One of the most common types of liability in a bar or restaurant are those that revolve around DUIs. Somewhere around 30% of the traffic fatalities that happen each year are due to DUIs. But, don’t think that regular automobiles like cars and trucks are the only thing to look out for. If you have an establishment, for example, in the mountains that allows snowmobile drivers or people on ski-lifts to get off and come in your restaurant, these people are also a liability.

Make sure that you purchase a Liquor Liability Policy if you plan on having liquor or alcohol in your establishment.

youtube

Activity Hazards

At first thought, you might not be able to think of any activity hazards that might happen in your establishment. But, here are a few to get your brain moving:

– Mechanical Bulls – Falling from Chairs – Bar Fights – Burns from the bartenders flaming alcohol trick – Making bananas foster or other food items in front of tables

These hazards aren’t just for your patrons either. They cover your employees as well. In order to properly be covered for Activity Hazards in your establishment, you need to write down exactly the types of risks involved and put them on your insurance application so that the agent can give you the right amount and type of coverage.

Missing Exit Zone

If you do not have an exit zone in your establishment OR you do but the light on the sign is broken or out, you could be asking to get sued not only by anyone in your establishment that might get hurt because of an emergency, but family members of anyone who is killed in the event of an emergency. This light should always be on and should never be blocked.

Flammable Decorations

In the same way, you need to recognize possible injury for activity hazards, you also need to recognize the possibility of flammable decorations and injuries as well. Burns are painful, but they also can disfigure a person so not only would you be paying for an individual’s medical treatment, but also pain and suffering which can be incredibly high.

youtube

Decorations such as Tiki torches are a great example of flammable decorations. They look great, they might add to the atmosphere or theme of your establishment, but is that really worth possibly injuring someone and then, in turn, getting sued for it?

Probably not. Tiki torches aren’t the only flammable decorations, so are outdoor heaters, fireplaces, Chinese lanterns, etc.

When looking for insurance for your establishment, make sure they have loss control inspections. This enables a Risk Management professional to come in and tell you which areas or processes in your building might be problematic.

youtube

Essentially they are your go-to person for figuring out what items, activities, or even food items in your establishment carry the most risk. (i.e., a mechanical bull. It may seem like a fun thing to put into a bar, but without the proper insurance and proper forms for your patrons to sign, you could be in big trouble if someone gets injured.)

Introduction

Just as authentication is important in APIs, it is also an important feature in certain web applications—those with pages and secrets that should only be accessible to registered and authenticated users.

In this tutorial, you will build a simple web application while learning how to create user registration.

Application Setup

Create a new directory where you will be working from. For the sake of this tutorial, I called mine site-auth. Initialize npm in the new directory you just created. Here is how to initialize npm.

npm init -y

The -y flag tells npm to use the default options.

Edit the dependencies part of your package.json file to look like what I have in mine.

#package.json { "name": "site-auth", "version": "1.0.0", "description": "", "main": "app.js", "scripts": { "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1" }, "keywords": [], "author": "izuchukwu1", "license": "ISC", "dependencies": { "bcryptjs": "^2.4.3", "body-parser": "^1.17.1", "connect-flash": "^0.1.1", "cookie-parser": "^1.4.3", "express": "^4.15.2", "express-handlebars": "^3.0.0", "express-messages": "^1.0.1", "express-session": "^1.15.2", "joi": "^13.0.1", "mongoose": "^4.11.12", "morgan": "^1.8.1", "passport": "^0.4.0", "passport-local": "^1.0.0" } }

With that done, run the command to install the dependencies.

npm install

Create a file in your working directory called app.js.

Start by requiring the dependencies you installed and the necessary files.

#app.js const express = require('express'); const morgan = require('morgan') const path = require('path'); const cookieParser = require('cookie-parser'); const bodyParser = require('body-parser'); const expressHandlebars = require('express-handlebars'); const flash = require('connect-flash'); const session = require('express-session'); const mongoose = require('mongoose') const passport = require('passport') require('./config/passport')

These dependencies were installed when you ran npm install. To use them in your application, you have to require them and save them in their respective variables.

For this tutorial, you will be using MongoDB as your database. You will need to store user information in the database. To work with MongoDB, you will make use of Mongoose—a MongoDB modelling tool for Node.js. Setting up Mongoose is easy, like this.

#app.js mongoose.Promise = global.Promise mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/site-auth')

At this point, let's set up our middleware.

// 1 const app = express() app.use(morgan('dev')) // 2 app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views')) app.engine('handlebars', expressHandlebars({ defaultLayout: 'layout' })) app.set('view engine', 'handlebars') // 3 app.use(bodyParser.json()) app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false })) app.use(cookieParser()) app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public'))) app.use(session({ cookie: { maxAge: 60000 }, secret: 'codeworkrsecret', saveUninitialized: false, resave: false })); app.use(passport.initialize()) app.use(passport.session()) // 4 app.use(flash()) app.use((req, res, next) => { res.locals.success_mesages = req.flash('success') res.locals.error_messages = req.flash('error') next() }) // 5 app.use('/', require('./routes/index')) app.use('/users', require('./routes/users')) // 6 // catch 404 and forward to error handler app.use((req, res, next) => { res.render('notFound') }); // 7 app.listen(5000, () => console.log('Server started listening on port 5000!'))

Express is initialized and assigned to app.

Middleware to handle views is set up. For the views, you'll be making use of handlebars.

You set up middleware for bodyparser, cookie, session, and passport. Passport will be used when users want to log in.

At some points, you will be displaying flash messages. Thus you need to set up middleware for that, and also create the type of flash messages you want.

Routes middleware—this will handle any request made to a URL path. The URL paths specified here are for the index and users path.

Middleware to handle 404 errors. This middleware kicks in when a request does not map to any of the middleware created above it.

The server is set to listen at port 5000.

Views Setup

Create a new directory called views. Inside the views directory, create two other directories called layouts and partials. You want to achieve a tree structure like this in your views, so create the necessary files in their respective directories.

├── dashboard.handlebars ├── index.handlebars ├── layouts │ └── layout.handlebars ├── login.handlebars ├── notFound.handlebars ├── partials │ └── navbar.handlebars └── register.handlebars

With that done, time to drop the code.

#dashboard.handlebars  <div class="jumbotron"> <h1>User DashBoard</h1> </div>

This is a dashboard that should be visible to only registered users. For this tutorial, it will be your secret page.

Now the index page for the application should look like this.

#index.handlebars  <div class="jumbotron"> <h1>Site Authentication!</h1> <p class="lead">Welcome aboard.</p> </div>

The application needs a layout that will be used, and here is that layout you will be using.

#layout/layout.handlebars <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Site Authentication</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://j.mp/2letwTY" integrity="sha384-BVYiiSIFeK1dGmJRAkycuHAHRg32OmUcww7on3RYdg4Va+PmSTsz/K68vbdEjh4u" crossorigin="anonymous"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://j.mp/2lmY9WQ" integrity="sha384-rHyoN1iRsVXV4nD0JutlnGaslCJuC7uwjduW9SVrLvRYooPp2bWYgmgJQIXwl/Sp" crossorigin="anonymous"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/style.css"> </head> <body> <div class="alert alert-success"></div> <div class="alert alert-danger"></div> <div class="container"> } </div> <script src="http://j.mp/2lf4xzW" integrity="sha384-Tc5IQib027qvyjSMfHjOMaLkfuWVxZxUPnCJA7l2mCWNIpG9mGCD8wGNIcPD7Txa" crossorigin="anonymous"></script> </body> </html>

You'll need a login page for registered users.

#views/login.handlebars <form class="form-signin" action="/users/login" method="POST"> <h2 class="form-signin-heading">Please sign in</h2> <label for="inputEmail" class="sr-only">Email address</label> <input type="email" id="inputEmail" name="email" class="form-control" placeholder="Email address" required autofocus> <label for="inputPassword" class="sr-only">Password</label> <input type="password" id="inputPassword" name="password" class="form-control" placeholder="Password" required> <br/> <button class="btn btn-lg btn-default btn-block" type="submit">Sign in</button> </form>

The notFound.handlebars file will be used as your error page.

#views/notFound.handlebars  <div class="jumbotron"> <h1>Error</h1> </div>

Your registration page is supposed to look like this.

<form class="form-signin" action="/users/register" method="POST"> <h2 class="form-signin-heading">Please sign up</h2> <label for="inputEmail" class="sr-only">Email address</label> <input type="email" id="inputEmail" name="email" class="form-control" placeholder="Email address" required autofocus> <label for="inputUsername" class="sr-only">Username</label> <input type="text" id="inputUsername" name="username" class="form-control" placeholder="Username" required> <label for="inputPassword" class="sr-only">Password</label> <input type="password" id="inputPassword" name="password" class="form-control" placeholder="Password" required> <label for="inputConfirmPassword" class="sr-only">Confirm Password</label> <input type="password" id="inputConfirmPassword" name="confirmationPassword" class="form-control" placeholder="Confirm Password" required> <br/> <button class="btn btn-lg btn-default btn-block" type="submit">Sign up</button> </form>

Finally for your views, here's your navigation bar.

#partials/navbar.handlebars <div class="masthead"> <h3 class="text-muted">Site Authentication</h3> <nav> <ul class="nav nav-justified"> <li class="active"><a href="/">Home</a></li> <li><a href="/users/dashboard">Dashboard</a></li> <li><a href="/users/logout">Logout</a></li> <li><a href="/users/register">Sign Up</a></li> <li><a href="/users/login">Sign In</a></li> </ul> </nav> </div>

With that done, you are good to go into some deep parts.

Data Validation

You'll need a User model. From the views code above, you can deduce that the properties needed for the User model are email, username, and password. Create a directory called models, and a file in it called user.js.

#models/user.js // 1 const mongoose = require('mongoose') const Schema = mongoose.Schema const bcrypt = require('bcryptjs') // 2 const userSchema = new Schema({ email: String, username: String, password: String }, { // 3 timestamps: { createdAt: 'createdAt', updatedAt: 'updatedAt' } }) // 4 const User = mongoose.model('user', userSchema) module.exports = User

Imports dependencies and saves them in variables.

A new Schema is created. For each user, you want to save the email, username, and password to the database. The Schema shows how the model is to be constructed for each document. Here you want the email, username, and password to be of the String type.

For each user saved to the database, you also want to create timestamps. You utilize Mongoose to obtain the createdAt and updatedAt, and this is then saved to the database.

The model is defined and assigned to a variable called User, which is then exported as a module so it can be used in other parts of the application.

Salting and Hashing of the Password

You do not want to store users' passwords as plain text. Here's what you want to do when a user enters a plain text password while registering. The plain text password should be hashed using a salt that will be generated by your application (using bcryptjs). This hashed password is then stored in the database.

Sounds great, right? Let's implement that in the user.js file.

#models/user.js module.exports.hashPassword = async (password) => { try { const salt = await bcrypt.genSalt(10) return await bcrypt.hash(password, salt) } catch(error) { throw new Error('Hashing failed', error) } }

You just created a method that will be called in events of user registration. The method will receive the plain text password the user entered. As I mentioned earlier, the plain text password will be hashed using a generated salt. The hashed password will be returned as the password for the user.

Index and Users Routes

Create a new directory called routes. In this new directory, create two new files: index.js and users.js.

The index.js file will be very simple. It will map to the index of your application. Remember you set up middleware for your routes in your app.js file when you did this.

app.use('/', require('./routes/index')) app.use('/users', require('./routes/users'))

So your index routes, which simply render the index page, should look like this.

#routes/index.js const express = require('express') const router = express.Router() router.get('/', (req, res) => { res.render('index') }) module.exports = router

Now to the users route. For now, this route file will be doing four things.

Require dependencies. You will need to require the dependencies you installed using NPM.

Validate user inputs. You want to make sure that the user does not submit an empty form. All inputs are required, and all must be of the type String. The email has a special validation called .email() which ensures that what is entered matches the email format, while the password is validated using a regular expression. For the confirmation password, you want it to be the same as the password entered. These validations are done using Joi.

Set up your router. The get request renders the registration page, while the POST request kicks in when the user hits the button to submit the form.

The router gets exported as a module.

Here is what the code looks like.

#routes/users.js const express = require('express'); const router = express.Router() const Joi = require('joi') const passport = require('passport') const User = require('../models/user') //validation schema const userSchema = Joi.object().keys({ email: Joi.string().email().required(), username: Joi.string().required(), password: Joi.string().regex(/^[a-zA-Z0-9]{6,30}$/).required(), confirmationPassword: Joi.any().valid(Joi.ref('password')).required() }) router.route('/register') .get((req, res) => { res.render('register') }) .post(async (req, res, next) => { try { const result = Joi.validate(req.body, userSchema) if (result.error) { req.flash('error', 'Data entered is not valid. Please try again.') res.redirect('/users/register') return } const user = await User.findOne({ 'email': result.value.email }) if (user) { req.flash('error', 'Email is already in use.') res.redirect('/users/register') return } const hash = await User.hashPassword(result.value.password) delete result.value.confirmationPassword result.value.password = hash const newUser = await new User(result.value) await newUser.save() req.flash('success', 'Registration successfully, go ahead and login.') res.redirect('/users/login') } catch(error) { next(error) } }) module.exports = router

Let's look deeper into what is happening in that POST request.

The values entered in the registration form are accessible via req.body, and the values look like this.

value: { email: '[email protected]', username: 'izu', password: 'chinedu', confirmationPassword: 'chinedu' },

This is validated using the userSchema you created above, and the values entered by the user are assigned to a variable called result.

If an error is encountered because of the validation, an error message is displayed to the user and a redirection to the registration page takes place.

Otherwise, we try to find if a user with the same email address exists, as you do not want to have two or more users with same email address. If a user is found, the user is told that the email address is already in use.

In a scenario where no registered user has that email address, the next step is to hash the password. This is where you call the hashPassword method you created in your user.js file. The new hashed password is assigned to a variable called hash.

There is no need to store the confirmationPassword in the database. Thus this is deleted. The password available from result is still the plain password. Since you do not want to store the plain password in your database, it is important to reassign the password value to the hash that was created. This is done with a line of code.

result.value.password = hash

The new user instance gets saved to the database. A flash message stating that the registration was successful is displayed, and the user is redirected to the login page.

Start up your server from your terminal by running:

node app.js

Point your browser to http://localhost:5000 and you should see your new app.

Conclusion

Now you know how to implement the registration feature in a Node web application. You have learned the importance of validating user input and how to do that using Joi. You also made use of bcryptjs to salt and hash your password.

Next, you'll see how to implement a login feature for registered users. I trust you enjoyed yourself!

More costly mortgages in wake of rates rise

Interest rates

More costly mortgages in wake of rates rise

Bank of England’s raised cost of borrowing, from 0.25% to 0.5%, may add £22 a month to average variable interest rate loans

Millions of homeowners face higher mortgage payments after the Bank of England said it could no longer tolerate the inflation level and announced the first increase in interest rates in more than 10 years.

Despite weak growth and mounting uncertainty over the terms of Britain’s exit from the EU, Threadneedle Street increased interest rates to 0.5% from 0.25% on Thursday, reversing emergency action taken immediately after the Brexit referendum.

The move will add £22 a month to the costs of servicing the average variable rate mortgage, although the recent popularity of fixed-rate home loans means it will initially affect only 43% of home buyers.

Mark Carney, the Bank’s governor, said it was time “to ease our foot off the accelerator” but sought to reassure consumers and businesses that the first increase in rates since July 2007 was not the start of a sustained upward trend.

He said: “To be clear, even after today’s rate increase, monetary policy will provide significant support to jobs and activity. And the monetary policy committee continues to expect that any future increases in interest rates would be at a gradual pace and to a limited extent.”

As things stand, Threadneedle Street is expecting two further quarter-point increases in interest rates by the turn of the decade, which would leave them at 1%.

The Bank said that the financial crisis and deep recession of a decade ago had permanently damaged the economy’s growth potential. Brexit had further reduced the “speed limit” at which the UK could operate without generating higher inflation, Carney said.

Still, the rate decision sparked sharp questions over the ability of consumers to repay loans amid rising use of personal borrowing and credit cards to offset higher prices.

Households are, in total, expected to face about £1.8bn in additional interest payments on variable rate mortgages in the first year alone, according to analysis by the accountancy firm Moore Stephens. The firm also estimates that households will pay as much as £465m in additional costs on credit cards, overdrafts, personal loans and car finance.

The Bank faced criticism for the timing of its decision due to weak readings on the economy and a lack of clarity from the Brexit talks.

The TU’s general secretary, Frances O’Grady, said: “This is the last thing hard-pressed families need. With living standards falling, the economy needs boosting not reining in.”

David Blanchflower, a former member of the MPC, criticised the rate rise and said it would be reversed. “This is guessonomics. There is nothing in the data to sustain this rise,” he said.

Despite the prospect of higher costs for borrowers, the interest rate rise will prove a boon for savers if banks match Threadneedle Street’s increase with a jump in the interest paid on deposits. Theresa May’s spokesman said the government expected to see higher rates passed on to savers.

Some banks have already said they will increase rates on their savings as well as put up the repayments demanded from borrowers, including Royal Bank of Scotland and TSB.

The move by Threadneedle Street comes amid a squeeze on households’ living standards from rising prices, outstripping the growth in earnings, following the devaluation of the pound since the EU referendum. It hopes that will offset the increase in borrowing costs.

Carney said “the worst of the real income squeeze is ending”, adding that higher interest rates were “part of ensuring that it does not come back”.

About a third of households have a mortgage on a home, according to the Bank. In aggregate, mortgage debt represents about three-quarters of the overall stock of household debt. Fixed-rate mortgages by value have also risen significantly in recent years, to about 60% of the stock of mortgages, which the central bank said meant that the impact of the rate hike would only feed through to households gradually.

Vince Cable, the Liberal Democrat leader, said higher rates presented “a serious problem as many individuals, families and companies rely increasingly on borrowing to get by”.

There have been some signs of consumers using savings or borrowing money from banks or on credit cards to keep up with day-to-day spending in recent months. However, high-street sales are falling at their fastest rate since the height of the recession as consumers tighten their belts. Pushing up the cost of servicing debts, “will kick one of the few parts of the economy that was working”, Cable added.

Sten Hugo Hiller - 627184: Mecha Combat #987 - September 3347 King Chrono

(By Sten Hugo Hiller - 627184) Mountain Climbing Mecha Combat #987

Brought to you by ANN

Highlighting the September 3347 King Chrono

The pounding I had taken in the Double Rainbow while trying to beat Ken Fuchs had me quite dizzy, so my formation was a bit late in leaving the arena. Just as we were to exit, the following event was announced: An unlimited Chrono.

The key to get (good) prizes in a Chrono is to sign up ASAP. In addition one should get in correct formation soonest, be reasonably strong and get back to the arena from time to time to improve the standing. I turned around, and after registration was done the top spot was mine since none other had signed up yet.

Few contestants showed up at first, and my team stayed on the top for quite a while accumulating points at the highest possible rate. This state of affairs could of course not last, but when the serious opposition showed up, my score was quite high already. Of course, staying on the top when big names like myeponym of Death`s Revenge, Jelloshots Suckeddown of the Northwind Dragons, Colin Toenjes of the Heroes in addition to roward and Russ Painter of the Black Star Lycan Rangers show up is close to impossible, -at least for me.

My teams position changed quite a bit over the event. A few times we managed to get the top, other times we were sent to the foothills. But mostly we managed to stay on the slopes. As the end neared we held the lowest slope, but the early points we had gotten gave us enough of an edge to outscore the rest.

The highest scorers in this event was:

Div 1 343+ (20 Commanders): Dexter Berry, Warlock (+26160) 2: Bernard Johnson 3: Fabio Favaro 4: Ben Rail 5: Terry Cole 6: Jeff Haas 7: Gary Muenzel 8: David Buchanan 9: Claude Poirier 10: Don Davis Div 2 -342 (16 Commanders): Mike Wach. B.o.A.D. (+40) Div 3 -224 (7 Commanders): David Sifford, Northwind Dragons (+22320) Div 4 -180 (22 Commanders): Sten Hugo Hiller, Star League (+7380) Div 5 -144 (29 Commanders): Spike Shepard, T.B. BlackWatch (+10320) Div 6 -104 (25 Commanders): Markus Eisenhand, Black Star Bandits (+770) Div 7 -78 (28 Commanders): Map Chap, Brigade of Patrol Smurfs (+25460) Div 8 -60 (29 Commanders): Douglas Rainey, Renegades (+29150) Div 9 -39 (16 Commanders): David Anderson, *R.V.* (+13540) Div 10 -23 (19 Commanders): Enigma, *R.V. 2.0* (+16270) Div 11 -14 (12 Commanders): MinisterBob, Zato`s Shaolin Scouts (+28400)

Total Contestants: 223 Total medals claimed: 154 (of 165 possible)

Compared to the recent Double Rainbow we saw an increase of fifty-one fighting formations in this event. But the imbalance between the tops, (and the curse of K3) resulted in 8 Bronzes from K3 and 3 Bronzes from K11 ending unclaimed and being returned for resmelting. [The turnout for K3 was 25%. 47 Commanders invited, 19 of them currently inactive]

The highest score achieved in this event was 110 000. The only Commander who managed to stand on the top for all the 88 score rounds was MinisterBob from Zato`s Shaolin Scouts on K11. Highest margin to the runner-up was on K9 where Renegades` Douglas Rainey was 29 150 ahead. Lowest score needed for a medal was 5760 for a Bronze on K3.

Seven Commaders won by a margin of at least 12 000, while two won by less than a thousand. The closest Gold fight was decided by only 40 points this time. Makes one wonder how close the struggles for the rest of the prizes was. To find out, we take a look at the differences between the medal tiers in this event:

...Silver to Bronze..Bronze to nothing Div 1 ......5350......…….960 Div 2 ......5660..........10180 Div 3 ....62760......…….N/A Div 4 ......5580......…..1640 Div 5 ......4310......…..4760 Div 6 ....10530......…..6520 Div 7 ......9840......…….840 Div 8 ......8620......…….610 Div 9 ......1560......….18380 Div 10 ….1880......…….600 Div 11 ….9240......…….N/A

Some really impressive walls here, but we also had four of the nine contested Bronzes decided by less than 1000. This shows again that signing up ASAP and getting some early points might well be the difference between getting a prize or not.

The clans had been restored to their Pre-Toshiko membership, but even so none of them managed to secure more than one Gold each. None of the unaligned Commanders managed to outscore their competitors, neither did any of the Double Rainbow winners.

Upcoming event: Missile Command

This is an unlimited event, with a twist. In the weapon enhanced events like this, one class of weapons get a modest boost of 80% to the damage they deliver. Here the pampered weapon class are the Missiles

Event ends May 29 between 0400 and 0430 New York Time

West Ham vs Norwich Preview: Predicted lineups, match facts, odds and more

With West Ham Manuel Pellegrini chases his first home win of the 2019-2020 season when he saw Norwich was next to him to visit.

The Chilean has never lost the Canary Islands in all competitions – three wins and two draws – and will try to maintain his impeccable record on Saturday when the games meet at London Stadium.

In Daniel Farke, Pellegrini has an opposition manager who does not want to compromise on his beliefs that this season will be to Norwich's advantage and disadvantage.

Daniel Farke will try to win Norwich back after their shock Carabao Cup exit

Norwich & # 39; s out-form raises serious questions about their viability to stay in the division, but Saturday represents the club's first chance to bounce back after a gloomy exit in the Carabao Cup to League Two Crawley Town on Tuesday evening.

West Ham had more reason to cheer during the midweek as they made their way past their own League Two opposition in Newport County while Jack Wilshere entered the competition form.

With both managers the chance to turn their backs on midweek cup competitions, normality will be resumed on Saturday and fans eagerly await what many call the Battle of the (in-form) Strikers in East London. Catchy.

WEST HAM: Haller gave a taste of his talents at Watford … now signing must steal the show

Starting his career at a new club against Manchester City from Pep Guardiola feels almost as punishment. The odds are at a premium, too.

Haller showed flashes of promise, but eventually the Hammers were humiliated 5-0 on their own patch. Little good comes from a rout.

Then came the visit from Brighton, a better test to judge Haller. But he fell short and while Teemu Pukki hit his first Premier League hat trick in Norfolk, the record of £ 45 million from West Ham failed again.

Sebastien Haller has to go home to show West Ham that they have the rush they crave

The visit to struggling Watford came afterwards and West Ham fans, wary of the weight of it of their main striker, could finally breathe the sigh of relief as Haller showed exactly why the club moved heaven and earth to get it this summer.

Two well-taken strikes played a key role in the 3-1 win over the Hornets and West Ham, for the first time this season, had a win under their belt.

His goals on Vicarage Road saw him become the 150th other Hammers scorer during their time in the Premier League. For those who scratch their heads over who got the first – Dale Gordon's strike in a 1-1 draw with Coventry in 1993.

But the most striking thing about Haller's performance was his all-round game, not just his goals . He played a crucial role in the opener of West Ham via Mark Noble when he won his air duel before hitting it to Manuel Lanzini, who was polluted and pushed Noble up to score from the spot.

Haller has much to his game but his acrobatic finish at Watford shows that he can be spectacular

The physicality of the Frenchman means that he is a nuisance for opposition defenders and that midfielders from deeper positions for Pellegrini & # 39; s side can break, knowing that they can lock on trapped balls from Haller.

Haller said after his entry that record money did not score goals and although the checkbook cannot be guaranteed 20 times a season, the Frenchman seems to have the hunger, physicality and technique to get exactly that.

Fans have recently had a taste of his skills at Watford – his acrobatic overhead kick finish was particularly special – but he will not want his run without purpose to go home too long.

NORWICH CITY: Canary Islands must return to number … but Carabao Cup-exit shows huge dependence on Pukki

Not involved in the competition team when Norwich traveled to take League Two Crawley Town in midweek, the Canary Islands got the clearest sign so far how dependent they have become on Pukki's goals.

Pukki plays at the London Stadium on Saturday with five goals, the highest in the Premier League so far and the greatest danger to West Ham without a doubt.

Academy Prospect Adam Idah led the line in Crawley and missed a number of gilded opportunities – opportunities that many at the People's Pension Stadium knew that Pukki had repented well.

Teemu Pukki is the top scorer in the division after a sensational start of the newest campaign

The biggest advantage of Pukki & # 39; s midweek omission is that he is well equipped for a game that is more important to Premier League newboys than the Carabao Cup ever did

Pukki has quickly adapted to life in the top flight, timing his runs well and shows an instinctive finish when unrolling on purpose.

It was significant that since the surprise of Norwich FA Cup to Portsmouth back in January, Norwich scored in every game since they played a blank at Crawley – especially with Pukki on the sidelines.

Pukki has scored in each of his first three Premier League games and could become the third player to score just after Diego Costa and Micky Quinn in all four opening games in the league.

The impact of Pukki is certainly not lost on Pellegrini and the Hammer Hammer probably have a well-documented plan on how to suppress the Norwich talisman.

& # 39; I think Pukki shows that the Premier League is not difficult for him, & # 39; Pellegrini told reporters prior to Saturday's collision.

Pukki has quickly established itself as a must-have this season have for Fantasy Football players

& He scores goals and we have to watch him. I expect a similar game to play against Watford. & # 39;

Half a million Fantasy Football players turned to Finn after his hat trick against Newcastle on game week two, but when he delivers on the road – as he did in the 4-1 defeat to Liverpool in Anfield – his property and value will probably only rise again.

When Pukki shoots, the Norwich horror run of 14 defeats en route of their last 16 Premier League games ends on Saturday at 5 p.m.

Predicted line-ups

[1945902] Wes Ham United & # 39; s predicted start XI : Fabianski, Fredericks, Diop, Ogbonna, Masuaku, Rice , Noble, Lanzini, Yarmolenko, Anderson, Haller

Predicted start XI of Norwich City : Curl, Aarons, Hanley, Godfrey, Lewis, Trybull, Leendner, Buendia, Stiepermann, Cantwell, Pukki

What do the bookmakers say?

The Hammers are only 5/6 to pick up their first home win of the season, but an attacking Norwich game will look back from their 3-2 home defeat to Chelsea and not come back this weekend make it easy for them.

Daniel Farke & Canaries, priced by gambling aggregator BonusCodeBets.co.uk are 3/1 to go back to Norfolk with all three points, with the draw the same prize. Expect goals at the London Stadium.

The two sides score and give much with no clean slate in their collective six league games.

Both teams to score are as short as 2/5 while at 2-1 West Ham's win comes to 7/1.

In the battle against the in-form strikers, Sebastian Haller is 4/1 to score first, while the red-hot Teemu Pukki is 5/1 to open the score on Saturday with his sixth goal of the season. .

West Ham is only 5 / 6 with bookmakers to achieve their first Premier League home win this season

Who says what?

West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini said : "We want to play attractive football to not only enjoy the game but also to enjoy the game." We don't want to suffer for 90 minutes. They are happy with that.

& # 39; For me we want three points in every game, but when you see the statistics of each team, you have to be strong at home. We have had good results to start the season, but we have to be strong at home and not make mistakes like last season when we lost too many points at London Stadium. & # 39;

Norwich boss Daniel Farke said: & # 39; There are not so many positives (against Crawley).

& # 39; We will not influence our Premier League game – we know we are in good shape. I think the starting line-up on Saturday has nothing to do with the starting line-up today. & # 39;

IMPORTANT FACTS

• West Ham seeks avoid back-to-back Premier League home defeats for the first time since September 2018, when they opened their opening two home games from 2018-19 lost. They have lost seven of their last eight Premier League home games in August (W1).

• Norwich has so far converted six of their 33 shots in the Premier League so far, making them the best conversion rate in the division (18 percent). Teemu Pukki has scored five of his six goals (83 percent) and had 12 of his 33 shots (36 percent).

• Away from home, Norwich has lost 14 of their last 16 Premier League games (W2), not scoring in 10 of those defeats.

• Norwich & Teemu Pukki has scored in each of his first three Premier League games (5 goals) and could become the third player to appear just four times before his opening. in the competition after Diego Costa and Mick Quinn. The only players to score 6+ goals in their first four PL games are Diego Costa (7), Mick Quinn (6) and Sergio Aguero (6).

• West Ham manager Manuel Pellegrini has never lost against Norwich City in all competitions (W3 D2 L0), still unbeaten in all five games as Man City manager between 2013 and 2016.

Moving Beyond WordPress for CMS with Component IO

Over the past 15 years, WordPress has had a great run. Unfortunately, its age has started to show, with newer technologies enabling faster, cheaper, more secure, and all around easier to use content management.

In this tutorial, we'll build a web page with a modular, embedded CMS that is 10x faster, 10x cheaper, more secure, and has better editing tools than a standard WordPress install, and it works with any website. Sounds awesome, right? Let's get started.

Setup

We'll use several state of the art tools that are either free or inexpensive in order to build our WordPress replacement page. We have a few important things to consider:

Hosting - We'll host our website on Amazon Web Services because it has a free tier and it's extremely secure and reliable. We'll only be hosting static files, so it will be very inexpensive and easy to scale (when we go viral!)

Themes - There are many places where you can get quality themes for free or very cheap. We'll use Templated because it has almost 1,000 free themes, and if you want to look around, there are many other places you can try such as ThemeForest, Bootswatch, Template Monster, and more.

Content Management - We'll build our CMS with Component IO, which allows us to embed content, images, forms & more anywhere we want and to edit everything live from our own web page. It has a generous free tier and even includes a built in code editor for 100% customization.

Our goal is to create a web page that loads immediately and is free to host, live-editable, and can't be turned into a spambot or shut down by ransomware the way WordPress can.

With our tools in hand, we're ready to get started!

1) Get the website template running locally

We've found a nice-looking theme on Templated called "Phase Shift" which you can view live here.

Working on the template page named "No Sidebar", we'll make the following parts of the page editable with our CMS:

A content block at the top

A feature section in the middle

A form at the bottom

All three parts will be editable through our CMS, and we'll make the form submit responses to our CMS too so that everything is in one place. But first, let's get the static site running locally.

Download the template files from Dropbox or GitHub and open the file titled "no-sidebar.html" with your favorite browser (you can right-click the file and choose which application to open it with). It should look like the following:

If the page looks different, be sure you have all of the folders (/css, /fonts, /images, /js) downloaded and in the same directory as the html file. Now that we have the site working locally, let's make it editable.

Go ahead and open the "no-sidebar.html" file in a text editor too. It should now be open in your text editor and in your browser.

2) Make the static content block editable

For the CMS portion of our site, we'll use Component IO. In a new tab, visit https://component.io and create a free account & sign in. Your dashboard should look something like this:

Let's create an editable content block for our page. Click the "Content block" button on left side to create an editable content component. Doing so will take you to a page where you can edit or install the component.

From here, click the "Install" button so that we can install it on our web page.

To install, we just need to copy and paste the component code into our HTML file. Copy the component tag and the script together, and paste the component tag

on line 41 of "no-sidebar.html", just above the <section> tag with content. Then paste the script tag at the bottom of the page on line 140, just before the other <script> tags.

Note that if you've created your own account and your own component, you will have a different key= value for the component and a different project= value for the script.

Now save the file and refresh our template web page in the browser. It should look like this:

So just like that, our CMS content is being delivered to our page!

There should also now be a pencil icon on the right side of our page. This button will appear on the page if we're logged into Component IO, and it lets us make live edits. Click on the pencil icon to show the editable components on the page.

Now click on our new component to open the editor:

From here, we can edit the content to say whatever we want. Since we're just trying to mimic the existing template, close the editor by clicking the "X" buttons, then copy the content from our original page (starting with "NO SIDEBAR / Integer sit amet...)", and then re-open the editor and paste this content to replace the "Lorem ipsum…" text and image.

Click the "Save" button to save. Then in our "no-sidebar.html" file delete the old static content <section> starting on line 42 so that lines 39-43 of "no-sidebar.html" look like the code below.

<div id="page" class="container"> <component key=oadmb></component> </div>

Note: if you're following along with your own project, make sure you use your own key= for the component instead of the one used here.

Save the file and reload the web page. Our page should look exactly like it did before, except now our content block is editable. Success!

3) Add a custom component

Now we'll replace the feature section in the middle of the page and make it editable too. Since this section is a custom layout for our template, we'll build a custom component from scratch that will be editable by anyone on our team, even non-technical teammates.

Back in the Component IO dashboard, click the Component IO logo to get to the dashboard's home page:

Click the "Blank component" button on the sidebar to create a blank component that we can build from scratch.

The first thing we'll do is copy the HTML from our template's feature section into Component IO so that we can mimic the content. Click the "Edit" button in Component IO and then click the "Code" toggle at the top to show the code editor:

Let's copy our existing feature section's HTML as a starting point for our new component. In the "no-sidebar.html" file, cut out lines 48-75

<div class="row">  <div class="6u"> <section> <ul class="style"> <li class="fa fa-wrench"> <h3>Integer ultrices</h3> <span>In posuere eleifend odio. Quisque semper augue mattis wisi. Maecenas ligula. Pellentesque viverra vulputate enim. Aliquam erat volutpat. Maecenas condimentum enim tincidunt risus accumsan.</span> </li> <li class="fa fa-leaf"> <h3>Aliquam luctus</h3> <span>In posuere eleifend odio. Quisque semper augue mattis wisi. Maecenas ligula. Pellentesque viverra vulputate enim. Aliquam erat volutpat. Maecenas condimentum enim tincidunt risus accumsan.</span> </li> </ul> </section> </div> <div class="6u"> <section> <ul class="style"> <li class="fa fa-cogs"> <h3>Integer ultrices</h3> <span>In posuere eleifend odio. Quisque semper augue mattis wisi. Maecenas ligula. Pellentesque viverra vulputate enim. Aliquam erat volutpat. Maecenas condimentum enim tincidunt risus accumsan.</span> </li> <li class="fa fa-road"> <h3>Aliquam luctus</h3> <span>In posuere eleifend odio. Quisque semper augue mattis wisi. Maecenas ligula. Pellentesque viverra vulputate enim. Aliquam erat volutpat. Maecenas condimentum enim tincidunt risus accumsan.</span> </li> </ul> </section> </div> </div>

And paste this code into the HTML section of the Component IO code editor.

Now our component will deliver the exact same HTML as is on our web page currently. To see this, let's replace our web page's static HTML with the component tag for our new component.

Click the "Save" button in the code editor on Component IO and then click the "X" to exit the editor. Next, click the "Install" button like we did when installing our first component:

This time we don't need to copy the <script> tag because we already have it on our web page. We just need to copy the component tag

Paste the component tag on line 48 of "no-sidebar.html", inside the <div id="main"> container. Delete the rest of the code in the container so that only the component tag is there:

Save the file and go to the tab with our web page on it. When you reload the page, it should look the exact same as before.

The difference is that now our feature section is part of our CMS and we can edit it! We could choose to always edit the raw HTML in the Component IO code editor, but that isn't much of an improvement on just editing the static HTML. Instead, let's set it up so that even non-technical users can make changes.

To do this, we need to add some fields for our CMS that can be edited easily. It looks like our feature section has 4 parts, with each part having an icon (wrench, gears, leaf, and a road) as well as some content. So let's use two fields: one called "icons" and one called "content".

Back in the Component IO dashboard, click "Done" from the install page and then click on the dropdown arrow on the "Edit" button and choose "Add / remove fields".

This takes us to a page where we can add fields to our component. Use the form on the page to create the 2 fields we mentioned:

One called icon that is a repeat Simple text field; and

One called content that is a repeat Rich text (HTML) field

Be sure to check the "Repeat" box since we'll be using these fields 4 times each. Once you've added both repeat fields, your screen should look like this:

Now let's add some content to the fields we just created.

Click "Done" and then click "Edit". This brings up the same content editor as before, but now we have custom fields.

Click "Add repeat item" to add the first item in our features section.

If we toggle over to the Code section, it looks like the first item has an icon called fa-wrench. This is from the Font Awesome icon set, and we could use any icon from there that we wanted. For now though, we'll still use "fa-wrench" for the icon.

Toggle to the Content section and add fa-wrench for the items[0].icon input. Then toggle back to the Code section and copy the first block of text (starting with "Integer ultrices / In posuere...") and paste it in for the items[0].content input. Delete the <h3> and <span> tags from the content editor and instead use the WYSIWYG tools to make "Integer ultrices" a "Heading 3" section.

Now our component editor should look like this:

Repeat this process for the remaining 3 feature sections, entering fa-cogs, fa-leaf, and fa-road for the icons, as well as the associated text content for each.

Now that the content is in place, let's make it show in our component.

Click the "Code" toggle to switch to the code editor view. We're ready to replace our static HTML with something dynamic.

We'll want to replace our component HTML with code to insert the icon and content fields we just created. With Component IO, we can access these fields through the items array, which starts at zero index. For example, to get the first icon value, we would use items[0].icon. Similarly, the second content value would be items[1].content.

Component IO uses Vue.js syntax for inserting content, so replace the above HTML in the editor with the following HTML that will insert our content:

In Vue.js, :class= is used to generate a class name, and v-html= is used to insert raw HTML. There are more ways to insert values, but this is all we need for now.

Once you've updated the HTML, click "Save" and then visit our template web page tab and reload it.

Again it looks the same as before, but now it's editable. Click the pencil button on the right hand side and you can now edit the content in our feature section. Try re-ordering the boxes, changing the icons and content, and anything else you might want to do.

At this point, we have 2 CMS components on our page: one content block and one fully custom component, and both are now editable without touching or redeploying our code!

4) Add a form

Finally, let's add a form that will automatically send responses to our Component IO dashboard where we can view and manage the messages. Component IO has a library of components that includes ready-to-use forms, so visit the "Library" tab at Component IO and click the "Forms" tag on the left to filter components.

Let's choose the first one: Contact Form with reCAPTCHA option. Click on this component and then click the "Add to your project" button.

Install it the same way we installed the last 2 components: click on the "Install" button and then copy the component tag

And paste it into our "no-sidebar.html" file, just above the <form> element around line 63. Delete the existing <form> code so that the footer section looks like this

<div id="footer" class="wrapper style2"> <div class="container"> <section> <header class="major"> <h2>Mauris vulputate dolor</h2> <span class="byline">Integer sit amet pede vel arcu aliquet pretium</span> </header> <component key=mnark load=b></component> </section> </div> </div>

Again, make sure to use your specific key= for the component tag if you are following along with your own project.

Save the file and reload our template web page. It should look like this:

It doesn't look how we want, and the reCAPTCHA form isn't working because we're serving the web page from our file system. If we were serving it from localhost or as a live website, the reCAPTCHA would already be working.

Fortunately, just like with our last component, we can customize it and style it however we want. Click the pencil on the right side to open the editor and then click on the form to edit it. In the Content tab, disable the reCAPTCHA by changing the reCaptcha checkbox from "true" to "false". Then in the Code tab, replace the form's HTML with the following:

<form @submit="submit" v-if="!success"> <div class="row half"> <div class="12u"> <input class="text" type="text" name="name" v-model="name" placeholder="Name" /> </div> </div> <div class="row half"> <div class="12u"> <input class="text" type="text" name="email" v-model="email" placeholder="Email" /> </div> </div> <div class="row half"> <div class="12u"> <textarea name="message" v-model="message" placeholder="Message"></textarea> </div> </div> <div class="row half"> <div class="12u"> <ul class="actions"> <li> <input type="submit" :value="buttonText || 'Submit'" class="button alt" /> </li> </ul> </div> </div> </form> <h3 v-if="success"> Message sent </h3>

At the bottom of the editor's CSS panel, also add the following rule:

h3 { color: white; }

Click the "Save" button to save changes to the HTML and CSS, then reload our web page. Now our form should be working. Try entering a message into the form:

When you submit the form, you should see text that reads "Message sent".

Back in the Component IO dashboard, click the Component IO logo to go to the dashboard home page and then click the dropdown menu for our project and select "Responses".

Here we can see the message was saved in the dashboard. We didn't have to do any backend work, and now we have a completely customizable form we can embed anywhere and collect responses.

Our page is now exactly like the template we started with, but with the added benefit of content we can edit live and a form that works for visitors to contact us. Now let's deploy it for the world to see.

5) Deploy to AWS

Hosting a website on AWS is as simple as creating a "bucket" on their S3 service and uploading the files for our web page. First, create an account at https://aws.amazon.com, then choose S3 from the "Services" dropdown menu.

Now click "Create bucket" so that we have a place to upload our files.

Give the bucket a name -- it must be something that no one else has used before, so you may need to try a couple of times to find one. Once you have one, click the "Create" button to create the bucket.

Next, click on the bucket name and then click the "Upload" button. Upload the folders and files for our website:

/css /fonts /images /js index.html no-sidebar.html

Make sure these files are at the "root" of our S3 bucket, not inside of another folder.

Once all the files are uploaded, click the checkbox to select all the files and folder and then right click and select "Make public". This will allow anyone to download and view our website files.

Now click the "Properties" tab, and select "Static website hosting". Click the radio button that says "Use this bucket to host a website" and enter index.html for the index document.

Now our website is available for anyone to view at the url above the radio button.

You can click to see your hosted website or can view this tutorial's web page at http://ift.tt/2wigo3y. Click the "No Sidebar" link at the top right of the page to see the "No Sidebar" page we've been working on.

Just like before, you can click the pencil on the right side of the web page to make live edits to the content. Also, the form will submit responses to the Component IO dashboard just like before. We're all done!

Conclusion

We've set up a web page that is extremely fast to load (~800ms), free to host for hobby amounts of traffic, and has CMS features and a working form built in. If we wanted, we could invite other team members or clients to our project on Component IO and they would be able to make edits to the site too.

We used a basic HTML template, but we could have used any framework we wanted, including React, Angular, Vue.js, and more. We hosted our website on AWS, but again we could have also hosted the site anywhere we wanted, on any platform, and it would work the same because ultimately our solution is just HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

From here on out, we can make edits with Component IO -- we don't have to change our codebase or redeploy our website every time we want to make a change. This will save us valuable time and let us focus on more important things.

If you enjoyed this tutorial, take a second to share it with your team or someone you think will benefit from it. It can be hard to find new tools that work well, so they'll be happy to know about it.

Whoever you tell will probably thank you -- for freeing them from the tyranny of WordPress!

osu!weekly #100

The osu!weekly title is extending its length on the front page by exactly one character! Though the new home page spoils the new header, you’re gonna have to read on to find out the extent of what’s new in the 100th week (plus/minus a few) since we first started.

Weekly News Around the community Score Watch Taiko World Cup

Woah there peppy, you haven’t caught your breath since starting up the osu!dev blog again! A flurry of updates made to the osu!lazer client saw the long awaited revival of the osu!dev blog last week. To say that signs of life have been emerging from the well established outlet of development news would be an understatement of massive proportions. Ever since the 9th of April, a new post has been made every day. If you want to prevent yourself from being hopelessly behind on the times, I recommend you go check out the new jekyll powered blog before it’s too late!

from https://blog.ppy.sh/2017-04-14/

That said, what better time is there than now to start helping out with the development of our game? The open source lazer branch is open to all to contribute to and move forward. Additionally, the new site at new.ppy.sh is also open source and ready for anyone to take a look at. To that end, there is also a bounty system set up as an incentive for certain tasks, so go see what it’s about if you think you have the know-how!

Voting for the spring osu!fan art contest is well underway! It seems like this iteration has some serious competition going on for the top spot., with 3 votes proving simply not enough with so many great entries. Overall, everyone is very impressed with the turn-out and are excited to see which selected works will make it onto the menu for the spring update.

One of the biggest kicks mappers get from Aspire mapping contests is trying to break the game in interesting ways (and be endorsed for it). -Mo-, one of the entrants of our latest such competition, uploaded a video describing how he achieved some of the effects he made in his entry. His channel also has some other cool discussions on game mechanics and how mappers can utilize them (sort of like a certain other popular youtube channel), so don’t stop with that video if you’re interested!

youtube

The skins! channel has been coming out with a LOT of content recently with a bunch of different contributors! I count 3 videos just from the past week, with some new reviewers joining the cast of the channel. In case you don’t know what the skins! channel is yet, it is a group of people coming together to provide feedback and commentary on skins from the community. They provide a suggestion for who might be interested in the skin at the end of the video, so there’s something for everyone out of these videos!

youtube

Cookiezi took 8* FCs to the next level and one-upped it to grab a HD SS off the Loved DECO*27 - Ghost Rule. This play would have been worth 680pp. Watch as Cookiezi nails all the jumps, and almost doesn’t nail all the spinners.

youtube

Hey, this is pretty good. Araki - Snow Drive (01.23), 224BPM, 8.5*, and one man to conquer it. Cookiezi took it to the next floor by pulling off a monstrous 99.94% HD FC, which would be worth 808pp. Let the cursor do the talking.

youtube

_index secured the next FC on the famous The Quick Brown Fox - The Big Black, setting an amazing 99.73% FC to get 317pp. His HR score will be missed, but this makes it the current 9th FC on the map.

youtube

Deceitful pulled off easy pp big time as he stomped 9mm Parabellum Bullet - Inferno with an amazing HDHR SS, becoming the first player to do so and also grab 932pp in the process. osu!catch players, go wild.

youtube

Pope Gadget is back on the scorewatch again with a crazy SS score on DragonForce - The Warrior Inside to earn himself 392pp. Crazy amounts of endurance is needed to even get close to an SS on this map, and Pope becomes the first player to SS it. Check it out!

youtube

Also, shoutouts to RAMPAGE88 for being the first player in osu! history to hit Level 108!

NOTABLE MENTIONS:

MiruHong proves that he is still a rising Canadian player by setting an insane 99.67% HDHR FC on Camellia & DJ Genki - Feelin Sky mapped by The Fetish to earn himself 571pp (with 71.68UR).

Vaxei finally broke free and into 2nd place on the Global Rankings, and to celebrate that, he tried to replicate what Rafis liked doing best and set a pretty neat HDDTHR 97.80% FC on Fujijo Seitokai Shikkou-bu - Best FriendS and earn himself 650pp.

SCOREWATCH SCORE SHOW

Starting from osu!weekly 100 onwards, we are going to start the Scorewatch Score Show, part of the Scorewatch bundle you get every week. We got our great friend Zseikimatsu to help create these shows. Subscribe to him!

This week, it is, of course, the battle of the beasts, Cookiezi and Vaxei, as the duel it out on the map Remote Control. Have a watch!

TWC 2017 Week 5 Summary - Finals Week 1 - with magnomizer

This week in Finals Week 1, we saw 5 intense matches between the 6 teams that remained in the tournament. To summarise, Germany and the United States made an early exit, followed shortly by Canada after an extremely close match with Hong Kong. Taiwan and Japan are now the only two teams that remain in the tournament, and they will fight it out for gold this coming Saturday.

There were definitely some incredible highlights that took place over the weekend, and you can check these out by watching the VODs here. Alternatively, you can settle for a more detailed recap below:

The weekend started off smoothly with the match between Hong Kong and the United States. Despite the latter team showing an impressive performance against Taiwan in the previous stage, they were unable to take a single point from their new opponent, conceding the match 6-0. The two subsequent matches ended in a similar fashion as both Taiwan and Germany were missing key players, limiting their ability to put up a good fight against Japan and Canada respectively. With that, Japan was guaranteed Top 2, and Canada would proceed to face Hong Kong in the loser’s bracket final.

Before we move on, one particular highlight that must be mentioned was the first ever 6-way fail in TWC history, taking place in the match between Germany and Canada. Following this years’ TWC spirit of “suicide picks”, Germany picked the map xi - FREEDOM DiVE. Despite their best player Mew104 having by far the highest score in the room, even he, like everyone else, could not pass the map. With that came a new ruling that determined the victor by summing up failed score, and so Canada was able to take the point by a slight margin. Perhaps these rules may be revised if future instances of this occur?

Regardless, after a drought of three 6-0 sweeps, we finally arrived at a match that showed promise of reaching tiebreaker. The match between Hong Kong and Canada was truly spectacular. The match started off fairly evenly, with both teams winning on their own respective picks. However, this all changed when the score reached 3-3, as Canada went for the Free Mod pick kuroma - Pon-Pon-Pompoko Dai-Sen-Saw!. Hong Kong responded with 3 HR players, and stole the first break point of the match. Hong Kong then capitalised on its newfound momentum, and despite Canada putting up a valiant effort, they were overwhelmed in the end, and the match concluded 6-4.

Finally, Hong Kong then went on to face Taiwan in what would be the final match of the weekend. While initially looking to be a very close battle, Taiwan asserted its dominance by winning pick after pick, leaving no opportunity for Hong Kong to retaliate. With a crushing 0-6 defeat, Hong Kong will finish in 3rd place for this year’s TWC. In spite of the results, the tiebreaker map was played anyway, showcasing the skills of the players competing. Suffice to say, only two people managed to pass.

Coming up in Finals Week 2, we have the last match of the tournament scheduled to take place on Saturday 15th April, 05:00 UTC. There we will see Taiwan have their rematch against Japan, in an intense Bo13 brawl. Will they be able to triumph over Japan in an unexpected comeback? Or will Japan remain untouchable, having never conceded a single point in the tournament thus far? Find out this coming weekend by heading over to the osu!live twitch channel this Saturday to witness the stunning conclusion of TWC 2017!

Despite the 100th week culminating a set of changes that have happened over the past few weeks, there’s still some more to be excited for! For those who have e-mailed us about inclusion in the community promotion program for tournaments, you will likely see further updates on that soon as well as the part it has to play in the future of the osu!weekly. If you have any ideas for what you’d like to see in the next issue of the weekly, send us an e-mail at [email protected]. Alternatively, give me or deadbeat a shout in the osu!weekly channel at the osu!dev discord.

The ultimate guide to the 2019-20 Champions League: All you need to know about EVERY team

English clubs dominated the Champions League last season as Liverpool won the competition for the sixth time in their history after beating Tottenham in Madrid.

Three months after the end and the draw for the group stage of this season's competition, starts Thursday for the opening round of September.

Liverpool only hopes to become the second team to keep the Champions League in its modern form, but Manchester City are bookmakers' favorites to win the tournament and Europe in for the first time to conquer their history.

Sportsmail examines the credentials of each party at Thursday's tie to find out who the strongest players in this season's competition are and who might encounter an early exit …

]

Liverpool won the Champions League last season after beating Tottenham with 2-0 in the final

] POT 1

LIVERPOOL

After lifting the Champions League in June it was a surprise that Jurgen Klopp had only added two low key characters to his team in the summer. But the Reds started this season as they finished the latter with their mix of pace and bustle, resulting in three consecutive Premier League wins and it is that formula that marks them as one of the favorites to win this year's competition .

Star man

Sadio Mane

Mane is perhaps the most progressive in Europe after a blistering start this term

European family tree

Only AC Milan and Real Madrid have won the competition more than once in their history.

Danger class

If they keep their key figures fit, Liverpool have a great chance of retaining the trophy.

CHELSEA

With the prohibition of two windows, Frank Lampard was undoubtedly the most difficult task of a Chelsea manager in Roman Abramovich. His decision to put his faith in youth has yielded mixed results so far, with a win, a draw and a loss of his opening of three Premier League games and Europe can be an unfortunate distraction from the task of entering the to finish in the top four with a small team.

Star man

Golo Kante

Chelsea needs all its experience and sustainability to make progress.

European family tree

Chelsea won the competition once (2012) and lifted the Europa League last season.

Danger class

The lack of targets and squad depth means that Chelsea is not one of the favorites.

Chelsea & # 39; s two-window transfer ban means that Frank Lampard has a tough job on his hands

MANCHESTER CITY

Manchester City continued to disappoint on the European podium after being in the quarter-finals of the league last season was beaten. Pep Guardiola has insisted that the Premier League be his priority again this season, but with the quality he has at his disposal, anything other than a deadline by the end of this period is considered a failure.

Star man

Raheem Sterling

Sterling started the season as a fake nine and has already scored six goals.

European family tree

City is a series of underachievers in Europe and has yet to win the Champions League.

Danger Class

They may have the best team in this season's competition – this could be their year.

Raheem Sterling has emerged as the Manchester City's biggest threat in a new false nine role

BARCELONA

After winning the first season of their Liverpool semi-final 3-0 , Barcelona was on track to win the tournament for a fifth time. A shock 4-0 defeat at Anfield left them astonished, but Barca at least won La Liga and the signing of Antoine Griezmann means that they will have the strongest front line in Europe when the Frenchman queues alongside Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez state.

Star man

Lionel Messi

If Messi plays well, Barcelona is a threat to everyone regardless of form.

European family tree

Barcelona has won the competition five times in their history – the last coming in 2015.

Danger class

Their front line alone means that they must definitely reach the final stages.

BAYERN MUNICH

The retirement of Arjen Robben and departure from Franck Ribery mean Bayern Munich are a side in the transition to this season's competition. The arrival of Philippe Coutinho should ensure that Robert Lewandowski has a consistent supply line, but his failure to replace Robben and Ribery after their failed pursuit of Leroy Sane may damage their chances of success in Europe this season.

man

Robert Lewandowski

If Lewandowski does not shoot, Bayern can fight for goals in Europe.

European family tree

Bayern lifted the European Cup five times – the last coming in 2013.

Danger class

A weakened attack means that Bayern is not the power they had with Robben and Ribery.

JUVENTUS

Juventus is among the favorites to win this season's competition after an impressive summer of transfer activity. The arrivals of Gonzalo Higuain, Ligth Matthijs, Adrien Rabiot and Aaron Ramsey ensure that Juve has depth in every area of the field, while the relentless performances of Cristiano Ronaldo mean that the Bianconeri have a player with the know-how to win the tournament .

Star man

Cristiano Ronaldo

Ronaldo is the highest scorer in the history of the competition. Enough said.

European family tree

Juve won the trophy twice, but last season was a disappointment.

Danger class

Dark horses. Their team is full of quality and depth in every position.

Ronaldo & # 39; s Champions League experience will be key as Juventus are challenging

PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN

The continuing saga about the future of Neymar has cast a shadow over PSG and has also masked a savvy summer of transfer activity. The signing sessions of Idrissa Gueye, Abdou Diallo and Pablo Sarabia point to a shift in a strategy for pursuing selection frameworks for short-term success in favor of a longer-term approach. But despite the change in vision, the owners of PSG remain hungry for an elusive first Champions League success.

Star man

Kylian Mbappe

Undoubtedly the best player in 2018-19 – he must shoot if PSG wants to succeed in Europe.

European Family Tree

PSG has never gone beyond the quarterfinals of Europe & # 39; s elite competition. ]

They have the firepower to defeat every side in Europe, but are still not streetwise in the final stages.

ZENIT SAINT-PETERSBURG

Zenit & # 39; s tradition of signing big name South American players continued with the signing of Brazilian winger Malcolm, who last month arrived in a £ 40 million deal from Barcelona. Former mid back Chelsea Branislav Ivanovic offers mid back experience, while Colombia International Wilmar Barrios is considered one of the best midfielders in South America.

Star man

Artem Dzyuba

The 6 & # 39; 5 striker is a handful and has four goals for its name this season.

European family tree

Zenit has never gone beyond the last 16 of the Champions League.

Hazard classification

No club enjoys a trip to Russia, but Zenit does not have the quality to bother the European elite.

Last season's second prize winner, is in pot two on Thursday

POT TWO

REAL MADRID [1945907]

Fifteen months after Real Madrid 2017/18 Champions League success, the club remains dependent on the same familiar faces. The arrival of Eden Hazard from Chelsea will give them a new dimension in the attack, but Zinedine Zidane has endured a frustrating summer while he tried and failed to sell Gareth Bale and James Rodriguez, among other things, to free up space for new acquisitions.

Star man

Eden Hazard

Madrid has struggled since the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo – Hazard is expected to be boots to fill .

European family tree

Madrid won the competition 13 teams – more than any other club.

Hazard Classification

Zidane must motivate the old team and hope that Hazard adapts quickly if Madrid has to conquer Europe again.

Real Madrid will hope that Eden Hazard adapts quickly after a disappointing summer window [194590015]

MADRID

No club in Europe has undergone a major overhaul this summer than Atletico Madrid. Following the controversial departments of Antoine Griezmann, Diego Godin, Filipe Luis and a host of other players, Diego Simeone brought in eight new faces, including Joao Felix for a £ 113 million club record from Benfica and Kieran Trippier from Tottenham. If they can learn quickly, there is another exciting season for Atletico.

Star man

The success of Atletico will depend on Diego Costa & # 39; s goals and his collaboration with Alvaro Morata.

European family tree

Athletic finished in second place in 2014 and 2016, but was eliminated by Juventus last season.

Hazard Valuation

The firepower of Costa and Morata and the tactics of Simeone could see them reaching the final stages.

BORUSSIA DORTMUND

Dortmund made a great start to the new season and scored eight goals in their first two Bundesliga games. In Jadon Sancho, Dortmund has the most exciting teenager in European football, while Paco Alcacer has given them the goalscorer they have been craving since Robert Lewandowski's departure. With Bayern Munich in transition, this year could belong to Dortmund.

Star Man

Jadon Sancho

Sancho & # 39; s trust and deception could unlock Europe's best defenses.

European family tree

Dortmund won the trophy once in 1997 and finished in second place in 2013.

Hazard assessment ]

Dortmund has the firepower and speed to make a dent in this year's competition.

In Jadon Sancho, Borussia Dortmund has the most exciting teenager in European football

NAPOLI

In Carlo Ancelotti, Napoli is in charge of a man who knows his way around the Champions League. The Italian has lifted the trophy three times during spells with AC Milan and Real Madrid, but it is unlikely that he will repeat that performance this season with his current club. The Parthenopei have emerged as Juventus' main domestic rivals after a second-placed Series A finish last season, but will struggle to threaten in Europe.

Star man

Dries Mertens

Mertens has emerged as a productive goal scorer since he was converted from a winger .

European family tree

Napoli won the Uefa Cup back in 1989 but has never lifted the Champions League.

Hazard Classification

Napoli has a talented start XI but insufficient quality for Europe & # 39; s leading clubs.

TOTTENHAM

Tottenham pulled off a small miracle to reach the Champions League final last season and it seems unlikely that they will redo that achievement. The signing sessions of Giovani Lo Celso and Tanguy Ndombele will add quality to their starting XI, but they still lack breadth, goals in the absence of Harry Kane and a plan B when their captain does not shoot for goal.

Star man

Harry Kane

When Kane doesn't play, Spurs struggle for goals – and he has to shoot for progress.

European family tree

Spurs enjoyed their best European campaign ever after second place.

Hazard Valuation

Tracks without competition winners that they need to make a repeat of last season's run.

Tanguy Ndombele was one of two summer signings – but Spurs lacks the depth to compete

AJAX

It was hard not to feel sorry for Ajax when the incredible comeback of Tottenham gave them a place in the final of last season. Erik ten Hag's talented group of youngsters beat Real Madrid and Juventus on their way to the semi-final and Ajax has since lost two of the key figures in that famous run. Matthijs van Light left for Juve, while Frenkie From Jong was sold to Barcelona, although they had again invested in their team with the signings of Quincy Promes, Edson Alvarez and Razvan Marin.

Star man

Donny van de Beek

With Young away, Beek carries the creative burden in the midfield of Ajax.

European family tree

Ajax are four winners of the European Cup, but we have not conquered Europe since 1995.

Danger class

Ajax must reach the knockout phase, but will struggle to repeat last season's efforts.

BENFICA

Joao Felix's £ 113 million sale to Atletico Madrid gave Benfica the means to invest in the rest of their team this summer. The club has continued its tradition of targeting talented South Americans, with Colombian Jhonder Cadiz and Brazilian strikers Caio and Carlos Vinicius who all arrive at the Stadium of Light and could give the front line of Benfica a surprise factor in this season's competition .

Star man

Haris Seferovic

The Swiss scored 23 league goals last season.

European family tree

Benfica won back to back European cups in 1961 and 1962.

Danger rating

] Could struggle to go beyond the group stage without a favorable draw.

Swiss international Haris Seferovic scored 23 league goals last season

[1945902] SHAKHTAR DONETSK

Shakhtar remains the dominant force in Ukrainian football that has won the league title in the last three seasons. The club continues to unearth talented Brazilians, with Taison, Tete and Dentinho the leading names in their current harvest, along with Brazilian-born Ukrainians Junior Moraes and Marlos. Their attacking threat and geographic advantage means that the big boys of Europe want to prevent them from pulling Shakhtar.

Star man

Marlos

The midfielder attack has been named footballer of the year in Ukraine for the past three seasons.

European family tree

Shakhtar's best performance in the competition was a quarter-final in 2011.

Hazard assessment

With the right draw, Shakhtar was able to match their best Champions League finish ever.

POT THREE

[1945902] LYON

Jeff Reine-Adelaide was Lyon & big money sign this summer they will sign hope for the departure of talisman and captain Nabil Fekir.

Star man

Moussa Dembele

The former Celtic striker started the season on fire scoring three goals in the first three games of Lyon. It will be difficult to comprehend.

European family tree

The Lyon exit in the last four seasons in the 2009-10 season is the furthest they have achieved in the Champions League.

Hazard classification

Able to cause a shock like we saw the Etihad last season, but they need some sort of draw to continue from the group stage .

The former Celtic striker set fire to the season with scoring three goals in the first three of Lyon

BAYER LEVERKUSEN

Kerem Demirbay was the biggest transfer from Bayer Leverkusen this summer, while Julian Brandt left for colleague Bundesliga on the side of Borussia Dortmund.

Star man

It is not for nothing that Kai Havertz is followed by Europe & # 39; s biggest clubs. He is the man who ticks it for the Bundesliga outfit.

European family tree

Finished second in Real Madrid in the 2001-02 season and won the UEFA Cup in 1988.

Hazard classification

Again unlikely to reach the group stage without a favorable draw.

RED BULL SALZBURG

Eight players in and 11 permanently out, it's fair to say that a major operation took place in Salzburg.

Star man

Erling Braut Haland

He scored nine goals in a match in the U20 & # 39; s World Cup for Norway earlier this year and the 19-year-old already has 10 goals in six games this season. It would be surprising to see him next season to say the least to say the least.

European family tree

They never left the Champions League group stage.

Hazard Classification

Haland may have to score nine in a match for Salzburg to qualify for the knockout phase.

Erling Braut Haland (right) scored nine goals in a match in the U20 World Cup for Norway

OLYMPIACOS

Like Salzburg, there have been wholesale changes at Olympiacos. 11 players in and seven out.

Star man

Youssef El Arabi

The 32-year-old has three races this season, two of which were crucial in qualifying for the group stages .

European family tree

The best second place in Greece in the Champions League was when they reached the quarterfinals in the 1998-99 campaign.

Hazard Valuation

No opposition teams like a hostile atmosphere at Karaiskakis Stadium, but that is unlikely to help them reach the final-16.

CLUB BRUGGE

The biggest name to walk through Club Brugge was Simon Mignolet, but they sold attacker Wesley to Aston Villa.

Star man

Simon Mignolet

After he got out of favor in Liverpool, the Belgian goalkeeper returned to his home country to regain his shape to discover.

European family tree

Club Brugge never made it to the Champions League knockout phase.

Hazard classification

Let's put it that way, Mignolet has a lot of rescue for Bruges as a threat in this season's competition.

Out of favor in Liverpool, the Belgian goalkeeper has returned to his homeland

VALENCIA

Valencia exchanged keepers with Barcelona this summer Grandson moved to the Catalan giants for £ 23 million and Jasper Cillessen moves to the Mestailla for £ 32m .

Star man

Kevin Gameiro

Mostly productive in the Europa League and has already opened his account in the Valencia opening match against Real Sociedad.

European family tree

The La Liga side ended in the seasons between 1999 and 2001.

Hazard classification

Europe & # 39; s top sides are hoping that they will not get Valencia out of pot three, but they need a favorable group to make the last 16.

INTER MILAN

Romelu Lukaku and Antonio Conte are in the door and Alexis Sanchez is likely to follow. Great things are expected from Inter Milan this summer, it would be a costly failure if it didn't let go.

Star man

Romelu Lukaku

Antonio Conte finally has the striker he has been chasing for years. He will be a handful for every opposition side.

European family tree

Three times European cup winners most recently under Jose Mourinho in 2010.

Hazard assessment

]

Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez with Antonio Tell at the helm would frighten all sides. Do not write them off if you qualify for the knockout phase.

Antonio Conte finally has the striker he has been pursuing for many years in Romelu Lukaku

DENMARK ZAGREB

Croatia's largest transfer of just over £ 2 million to Croatia. That tells you everything you need to know about what Zagreb has to offer this season.

Star man

Amer Gojak

The Bosnian has played twice in qualifying and appears to be Croatia's biggest threat.

European family tree

The furthest Zagreb reached in the Champions League is the group stage.

Gevaarsclassificatie

Waarschijnlijk wil het team dat iedereen in pot drie wil trekken.

POT VIER

[1945902] LOKOMOTIV MOSKOU

Grzegorz Krychowiak werd getekend voor £ 10m van Paris Saint-Germain om het middenveld te versterken.

Star man

Grzegorz Krychowiak

Na het winnen van de Europa League met Sevilla had Kyrchowiak de grootste clubs achter hem aan. PSG landde hem uiteindelijk, maar de verhuizing werkte niet en verhuisde uiteindelijk naar West Brom in bruikleen. Nu is hij in Rusland en de grootste naam van Lokomotiv.

Europese stamboom

Ze bereikten de laatste-16 in 2004 voordat ze werden verslagen door de uiteindelijke nummer twee in Monaco.

Gevarenclassificatie

Een reis naar Rusland zal niet aantrekkelijk zijn voor veel managers, maar ze gaan zichzelf van huis worstelen.

Grzegorz Krychowiak is in Rusland en de grootste naam van Lokomotiv Moskou

GENK

De Belgische kant verloor deze zomer zijn sterspeler in Leandro Trossard naar Brighton, hoe zullen ze zonder hem kopiëren?

Star man

Mbwana Samatta

Vijf doelpunten in zes wedstrijden dit seizoen, de Tanzaniaanse international wordt dit seizoen één om naar te kijken.

Europese stamboom

Ze zijn nog niet eerder uit de toneelgroep in de Champions League gekomen.

Gevaar rating

Ze zullen zeker streven naar een plaats in de Europe League, al het andere dat een schok zou zijn.

GALATASARAY

Emre Mor en Jean Michael Seri zijn twee grote namen in de deuropening die beide in bruikleen werden ondertekend.

Star man

Jean Michael Seri

Hij werkte vorig seizoen niet voor hem in Fulham. Maar wat werkte voor de laatste campagne van Cottagers? Als hij zijn indrukwekkende vorm in Nice kan vinden, zal hij een taaie tegenstander zijn.

European pedigree

The Turkish side reached the semi-final in the 1988-89 season.

Danger rating

No one wants to face the atmosphere at the Türk Telekom Stadium but they will need more than that to make the last-16.

If Jean Michael Seri can find his impressive form at Nice he will be a tough opponent

RB LEIPZIG

Ademola Lookman from Everton was Leipzig's big-money deal this summer but their biggest business was tying down Timo Werner to a new contract.

Star man

Timo Werner

The man that has been tracked for years by Europe's biggest clubs has recently signed a new contract and looks hungry to improve.

European pedigree

The club were only founded in 2009 and have only be en in the Champions League once previously in the 2017-18 season when they exited in the Group Stage.

Danger rating

Plenty of talented players that could cause an upset but they are going to be handed a tough group as they sit in pot four.

SLAVIA PRAHA

Three in and six out at the Czech Republic club this summer as they look to threaten Europe's elite.

Star man

Nicolae Stanciu is the big-money signing at £3m, all eyes will be on the attacking midfielder to be the difference for his side.

European pedigree

Slavia Praha have not made it out of the Champions League group stage before.

Danger rating

Europa League place will be the target anything beyond that would be a miracle.

Nicolae Stanciu is the big-money signing at £3m, all eyes will be on the attacking midfielder

RED STAR BELGRADE

The Serbian outfit signed Mateo Gracia from Las Palmas for £1.6m.

Star man

Marko Marin

Remember him? The winger who signed for Chelsea but never really played? Well he is the shining light for Belgrade now.

European pedigree

They won the European Cup in 1991.

Danger rating

Beat the holders Liverpool last season at home. Their away record let them down. The hostile atmosphere at the Red Star Stadium is something to be wary of.

ATALANTA

Luis Muriel was signed this summer by Atalanta from Sevilla for £13.5m

Star man

Luis Muriel

The experienced Serie A striker will be a handful for any opponent.

European pedigree

This is the first time Atalanta have made it into the Champions League having finished third last season.

Danger rating

You can't write off a team that finished above Inter, AC Milan and Roma last campaign but they are the most inexperienced side in this competition.

The experienced Serie A striker Luis Muriel will be a handful for any opponent

LILLE

The Ligue 1 side Renato Sanches for £18m from Bayern Munich. Can he rediscover his Benfica form?

Star man

Thiago Maia

He is the defensive midfielder that holds everything together and where all Lille's attacks start.

European pedigree

The Ligue 1 side reached the last-16 in the 2006-07 season.

Danger rating

They sold their best player in Nicolas Pepe to Arsenal, they are going to struggle without him.

Chris Waddle recalls a mad time in Marseille, music… and the mafia

Thirty years ago, Chris Waddle became Britain's most expensive football player this summer when he joined Olympique Marseille from Tottenham Hotspur for £ 4.5 million.

On a gray August night in his native Northeast, Waddle met Sportsmail for a beer to reflect on three colorful years on the Cote d & # 39; Azur …

Chris Waddle met a Sportsmail for beer reflecting on three colorful years in Marseille

Waddle won three consecutive Ligue 1 titles and was a European Cup second during his stay

The Vauxhall SRi Turbo hit 100 km / h on the deserted toll road from Aix en Provence when flashing blue lights illuminated its rearview mirror.

& # 39; I was late for training, & # 39; Waddle remembers. & # 39; The police officer started on the usual, "Do you know what speed you are going?". Then he stopped himself and looked at me, "Waddle?!"

& # 39; He tore off the bottom of the speed ticket and asked me to sign it. "Souvenir," he said. "No fine". & # 39;

Before he left, the officer asked Waddle why he was driving too fast. He explained that the training started within 15 minutes. & # 39; So then he said: & # 39; Follow me & # 39 ;, turn on the blue light and give me an escort! & # 39;

WADDLE ON … ERIC CANTONA

& I liked Eric. He was a fool, but he was dry. We had a team dinner and Jean-Pierre Papin was just kidding. Eric never liked Papin. Papin stuck his fork in this vinegar bag and thought it would hit me if he injected it. Except, it's machine gun Eric – his forehead, mouth, chin, chest. I couldn't stop laughing. The rest were silent. They thought, "Eric finally has his chance to kill Papin." He grabbed his napkin, slow to death, and dabbed all the vinegar. He looked at me and said, "You want to grow up." Then to Papin: & You are a little boy. I'm going to bed & # 39 ;. & # 39;

In a city of the Mafia line, Waddle discovered that you didn't need connections to the underworld if you were the darling of the Stade Velodrome.

& # 39; If I took parking tickets down the desk, the guy would just tear off and save the characteristic part. I must have had 80 and never paid for it. & # 39;

It was all very different from life in London, where he played for Spurs and England, but enjoyed relative anonymity.

& # 39; Suddenly, I was chased by shopping malls by screaming schoolgirls, & # 39; says Waddle, now 58. & # 39; You hit without emergency exits and jump into cars. I think, "What is this all about?"

It was a French love affair with an Englishman nicknamed & # 39; Magic Chris & # 39 ;, a stylish winger with effortless genius who won three consecutive Ligue 1 titles and a Second Place European Cup in 1991.

He even hit the charts thanks to a rap duet with teammate Basile Boli, although he did not scale up the heights of Diamond Lights, the single he released with Glenn Hoddle making the British top 20 in 1987.

Marseille gave him the nickname & # 39; Magic Chris & # 39; because he was a stylish winger with effortless genius

He recalls that the local police were more than willing to write down a number of motor violations WADDLE ON … BASILE BOLI

59019]

& # 39; He said: & # 39; Do you want to sing a song with me? It is an African-European rap. "I said," That sounds terrible, I am a serious singer, have you never heard of Diamond Lights? "Anyway, I agreed. We recorded the video and they dressed me like John Steed from The Avengers, wore a bowler hat and a brolly and dancing! The video came on TV one evening, oh my god! It came on number 1 in Albania! I said to him before Euro & # 39; 92: "Stuart Pearce is harder than you." Does he do that? Pearcey Headbutts when France played England! & # 39;

]

Later, the Marseille Waddle supporters were said to be the second best player of the 20th century. He smiles as he is reminded.The winner was Jean-Pierre Papin, the productive French striker who, on arrival in the south, owned Waddle of France, and laughs too.

& # 39; Papin had a few problems with his wife, "he says." I would be in my room and your ears would be louder I didn't understand a word but I think, "That's not a conversation." You'd be in the kitchen for breakfast and it would start again, and I think, "Where's the shooting chair? Get me out of here!"

Now sitting in a quiet corner of De Kroon pub in Gateshead, just around the corner from his in-laws and where the locals lovingly greet this famous but familiar face, it feels far away from chez Papin and that summer of 1989.

Waddle takes us back: & # 39; I was happy at Spurs, but they told me: & # 39; Marseille has arrived. We've put a silly price on your head, but they want to pay & # 39 ;. I said, "Why didn't you tell them £ 10 million then?" Next, I left. & # 39;

Waddle became the third most expensive player in the world – only Diego Maradona and Ruud Gullit had cost more. He left his wife and a one-year-old daughter in London while he acclimatized and landed in Marseille. & # 39; A journalist at the airport asks me: & # 39; Are you looking forward to playing at the Stade Velodrome? & # 39; … & # 39; Of course. & # 39;

& # 39; He then said: & # 39; Which song do you start tonight? "I think," Hey, what is he talking about? Did Diamond Lights come out in France? "

& # 39; He says: & # 39; You're the Pink Floyd singer? & # 39; they played at the stadium that night! I think:" Wait a minute, I wonder if Maradona and Gullit had this? "

But Waddle didn't make the right notes in those first months.

& # 39; I was far from the pace, "He says. I had done it in the preseason. My first day was in 95 degrees heat. At the end I am lying there, my face bright red. The boys called me Roast Beef! & # 39;

Waddle and Sportsmail & # 39; s Craig Hope met in Gateshead, just around the corner from his in-laws

[1945908]

The supporters of Marseille call Waddle the second best player of the 20th century

However, Papin had a softer side, at least after his wife left the kitchen. I would ask him: "What does the newspaper say?" He would say: "Waddle … did well today, getting better". I would look at the numbers and it was 4 out of 10. "How can they say I'm fine?" He would say, "Ah, it must be a printing error."

& # 39; In fact, it said I was a c ** p and he was trying to protect me. I liked Papin. A player. & # 39;

Waddle was certainly not protected by the press. & # 39; It was all, "Waddle, what a waste of money". I said, "Listen, give me three months to get fit and write what you want." I got about three hours! & # 39;

Then one night in October, everything changed. His goal against PSG in a 2-1 home win remains the most iconic of his career. There are T-shirts, prints and murals that show their bravery.

& # 39; I was fed up with my life now & # 39 ;, he begins, given a surprising answer to the question: & # 39; Can you tell us something about that beautiful night? & # 39;

But Waddle wants to offer some context. They didn't know where to play me. They bought me as a No. 10, but I wasn't. They called me in: "Chris, we've paid you a lot of money …". I think: "Here we go, they send me back to Spurs". But they wanted to know why I was wrong. & # 39;

Waddle grabs a notepad and sketches a football field. & # 39; It was like a scene from & # 39; Allo & # 39 ;, Allo! I said to the coach: "You play me earlier, I want to play & # 39; there & # 39; I drew circles everywhere to explain – it must have worked. & # 39;

Waddle initially struggled for fitness, but soon impressed French fans when he hit his stride

Waddle explains how he had lunch with a mafia boss but refused to be sucked into conty oversy

His recreation shows a front three with Abedi Pele on the left, Papin in the middle and himself on the right, but with a permit to roam the field. & # 39; That week we finally moved to our house in Aix. I said to my wife, "This is it now, if it doesn't work at Christmas, we'll probably be started anyway."

The goal. & # 39; It was 0-0 and our left back lifted the ball into the area. It was just me and the keeper, Joel Bats. He runs to me, but I skipped it over him. I thought, "Oh, I'm probably offside, I just stop it with a rear wheel." I looked around. In the flag I was over the billboards. From there it all started. & # 39;

WADDLE ON … CARLOS MOZER

& # 39; A defender from Brazil signed with me at the same time. We drove to training together. We didn't have a common language. I think: "This will be a long three miles". Suddenly he says "Kevin Keegan". I think for a moment and say "Skin". He says "Gary Lineker". I'm going, "Jairzinho." This continues all the way to training. We get back in the car and it starts again. Bryan Robson. So I say "Rivellino". Glenn Hoddle. "Tostao". We did this for three days! He now has a restaurant in Lisbon. I saw him a few years ago. I just said & # 39; Jairzinho & # 39; and we couldn't stop laughing. & # 39;

Come May 1990, Marseille was champion and Waddle, scorer of 12 goals, could park the Vauxhall wherever he wanted. He was a favorite of club president Bernard Tapie, the foolish politician, and everyone wanted a piece of him.

& # 39; I was invited to lunch at the port. This old man sits down next to me. I look at my teammates: "Who is this?" Then I saw the gun in his coat.

& # 39; One of the boys went to the toilet, so I ran after him: "Who is that?" "One of the Mafia bosses, he just wants to meet you". I shook his hand and was polite – but I didn't go on the Maradona road! & # 39;

That summer, in Italia & # 39; 90, Waddle and Maradona could have met in the final, if the first had not blown a penalty over the bar in the shootout defeat of England against the final West Germany champions in the semi-final.

Waddle returned in March the following March for a quarter-final of the European Cup against AC Milan. They drew 1-1 in the San Siro and it was aimless with 15 minutes to go in the second leg when Skin crossed from the right and Papin flicked to Waddle.

played Waddle against Red Star Belgrade in 1991 European Cup final that Marseille lost

After missing a penalty on Italia & # 39; 90, Waddle insisted a and that he was not willing to take one in Bari

& # 39; I would probably never try that shot again, a right-foot volleyball, & # 39; he says. & # 39; Once it leaves your foot, it is a bit of a snail, dice. Then you think: "You know what, it has a chance that this … it is inside!"

Then a few floodlights went out notoriously and Milan walked away. The referee said Marseille were winners and UEFA agreed, later banned Milan a season. Not that Waddle remembers many of the final phases.

& # 39; Looking back, I play with scented salts in my hand. (Paolo) Maldini had his elbow hit against my head. You should never play today.

& # 39; Anyway, Gazza was my guest that night. We then drank a beer and my head started to turn. Then I am sick and my legs are gone. I am lying on a stretcher and am being lifted in an ambulance! Gazza says, "Where are you going?" I said, "Where do you think I'm going?" I was in the hospital for a week. & # 39;

Waddle was finally back in Red Star Belgrade in Bari. After a golden stalemate it went to penalty & # 39; s. & # 39; I didn't take any, I sat in the dugout & # 39 ;, he says. & # 39; Because of Italia 90? Absolutely. I don't even take one now on a Sunday morning. & # 39; Red Star won the shootout 5-3.
