Global: Gas price spike: how UK government failures made a global crisis worse
https://theconversation.com/uk/">Source: The Conversation – UK – By Michael Bradshaw, Professor of Global Energy, Warwick Business School, Warwick Business School, University of Warwick
https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/close-image-gas-flame-burning-o...
The UK government has been in emergency talks with leaders from the energy industry as gas prices (and with them, electricity prices) have soared to https://www.ft.com/content/bf84f4a9-4720-4655-801f-a40d57b634e6">more than four times the level they were at the same time in 2020.
Concerns are growing about the security of winter gas supplies, and industries reliant on gas, such as https://www.ft.com/content/b2e7b6ed-fa14-48e1-a463-4d3b09c654dd">the fertiliser industry, are curtailing production, threatening various supply chains. Consumers are facing https://www.standard.co.uk/business/uk-energy-prices-bills-ofgem-electri... price increases and energy regulator Ofgem has already had to raise its price cap, and https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-58481330">may have to do so again.
Some smaller energy companies have https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-58619418">gone out of business and others may follow. Amid all this, the government continues to maintain that the UK benefits from a diversity of sources of supply of natural gas. This is true, but it obscures the nature of the problem facing the country.
The problem is not the UK's physical supply of gas, about https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploa... of which comes from its own production sites with the rest piped in from Europe or shipped in as https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploa... natural gas (LNG) from the US, Qatar and Russia. The issue is the price the UK has to pay to continue receiving these supplies.
The pandemic caused gas demand to plummet in spring 2020, resulting in low gas prices, reduced UK production and delayed maintenance work and investment along global supply chains. Then in early 2021, a very cold winter in Asia prompted a dramatic spike in LNG spot prices. A hot summer followed, increasing electricity demand for cooling. Resulting high LNG prices limited deliveries to Europe, but lockdowns were lifting and economies recovering. Energy demand shot up.
LNG exports to Europe have dried up in recent months.
https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/lng-tanker-ship-dawn-moored-gas... Wrzesien/Shutterstock
Traditionally, Europe uses the summer, when gas prices are lower due to limited heating demand, to fill reserves for the winter. Following the closure of https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5a30ff94ed915d2cf25281ac/... Rough storage facility – a depleted gas field in the North Sea – in 2017, the UK has no long-term storage. Wind power generation has remained lower than average during summer 2021 due to calm weather. Together with high carbon prices in the EU (which reduced the level of coal-fired power generation), more gas than usual has been used to generate electricity, leaving less gas to go into storage.
This is where things get complicated. There are now https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2021/09/05/energy-rationing-feared-... that Russia deliberately withheld supplies of gas to north-west Europe over the summer to ensure the timely approval of the recently completed, but highly controversial, Nordstream 2 pipeline linking Russia to Germany via the Baltic.
Gazprom and the Kremlin https://www.ft.com/content/e57421ef-b9f4-4b67-85f1-d6419364e32c">deny this, stating that they met all contractual requirements. But https://www.cnbc.com/2021/08/24/russia-is-pumping-less-natural-gas-to-eu... does suggest that pipeline deliveries to north-west Europe dropped compared to previous summers.
Part of this can be explained by a lack of investment in new sources of supply in Russia, partly in response to Europe's continuing ambivalence to Russian gas imports and https://www.euronews.com/green/2021/01/22/gas-is-over-eu-bank-chief-call... over the future role of gas in the EU's energy strategy. Unsurprisingly, Gazprom prioritised filling domestic storage and the high gas price means it can make plenty of money with lower exports to Europe.
Higher prices in Asia have attracted gas exports from the US. More recently, the lasting impact of the pandemic on shale production has been complicated by damage from Hurricane Ida. US domestic gas prices are also high and LNG exports have fallen. All of this is likely to be short-term – though the bulk of US LNG export capacity lies within "https://news.bloomberglaw.com/environment-and-energy/most-of-americas-ne... Alley".
The UK currently has very modest amounts of storage – less than 6% of annual demand. In Germany, France, and Italy, storage covers about https://ukerc.ac.uk/publications/future-uk-gas-security-a-position-paper... of annual demand. So where does all this leave UK gas security?
The government published https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploa... study in 2017 which found that the UK's energy system could weather a prolonged disruption to global LNG supply and supplies of Russian gas and maintain domestic gas demand if "consumers are willing to pay for it". The researchers did not think it likely that both shocks would happen simultaneously, yet this is just what has happened. Although it is unlikely to last for a long time, it will affect prices in the coming winter.
The security of the UK's LNG supply is even more precarious because very little, if any, of the LNG delivered to the UK is under firm contracts. In 2019, the UK imported 18.7 billion cubic metres of LNG, accounting for 39% of natural gas imports and https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploa... of total supply.
My ongoing research suggests that most UK LNG imports are sourced on the short-term spot market. And the UK is not considered an attractive market for LNG traders and is often seen as a destination of last resort for excess cargoes when the market is over-supplied.
Coherent strategy needed
So, what could have been done differently? The government decided against supporting the building of new gas storage facilities in 2018, suggesting that if it was supported by the market then industry would build it. Numerous storage projects remain on the shelf.
Even before the government's net zero by 2050 declaration in 2019, there was great uncertainty about the future role of gas in the UK. Two pathways present themselves: one with a very limited role for natural gas in which large swathes of heating and transport are electrified, and one which phases out natural gas more gradually and replaces it with hydrogen.
The government seems to be pursuing a confused mixture of the two. Perhaps it should acknowledge the current vulnerability of national gas supplies and revisit the need for long-term storage, or rethink its support for synthesising hydrogen fuel from natural gas.
The gas crisis has highlighted the lack of a coherent strategy to manage the gas industry as the UK transitions to a net zero economy. The lack of any industry investment in new capacity suggests that there is currently no business case
for new long-term storage in the UK, especially as gas demand continues to fall.
Various UK governments have trusted market mechanisms to deliver UK gas security, assuming that sufficient and affordable gas would always be there by default. Now UK consumers are having to pay the cost of such an approach, and this winter promises to be particularly challenging.

Release from the PCP Press Office
"Freedom for Palestinian political prisoners held in Israeli jails"
PCP Press office Statement - 18th May 2017
Following a month-long hunger strike by some 1,500 Palestinian political prisoners held in jails in Israel, the PCP reaffirms the demand for their release and its solidarity with their struggle to uphold their rights and dignity.
During the past month, PCP's solidarity was expressed in various ways, including tabling a vote in the Assembly of the Republic - through which the Portuguese Parliament expressed its solidarity with Palestinian political prisoners in Israeli jails - , as well as with its intervention in the European Parliament.
The Palestinian patriots, by resorting to a dramatic hunger strike, protest and fight against torture and other forms of cruel, debasing and inhuman treatment to which they are subjected, for access to medical care and medicines, for the possibility of accessing their respective case files, meet with their defence lawyers and receive family visits.
Denouncing the worsening repression and conditions of detention by the Israeli authorities and the shocking silence of the media on the struggle of Palestinian political prisoners - a silence that contrasts with the violent campaigns of misinformation that, by instrumentalizing human rights, cover up imperialist destabilization operations and imperialist aggressions against sovereign states - the PCP calls for strengthening solidarity towards this just struggle.
The PCP reaffirms its solidarity with the struggle of the Palestinian people for respect and implementation of their inalienable national rights against the Zionist occupation, for the right to a free, viable and sovereign State with the 1967 borders and its capital in East Jerusalem.
The PCP considers that the Portuguese Government should uphold and act, respecting the Constitution of the Republic and within the framework of International Law, for the rights of the Palestinian people, namely respect for the rights of Palestinian political prisoners in Israeli jails and for their release.

Chapter 4 Software Peer Review, Why? What?
This chapter contains a general intro to our software peer review system for packages, reasons to submit a package, reasons to volunteer as a reviewer, why our reviews are open, and acknowledgements of actors of the system.
rOpenSci's suite of packages is partly contributed by staff members and partly contributed by community members, which means the suite stems from a great diversity of skills and experience of developers. How to ensure quality for the whole set? That's where software peer review comes into play: packages contributed by the community undergo a transparent, constructive, non adversarial and open review process. For that process relying mostly on volunteer work, associate editors manage the incoming flow and ensure progress of submissions; authors create, submit and improve their package; reviewers, two per submission, examine the software code and user experience. This blog post written by rOpenSci editors is a good introduction to rOpenSci software pper review Other blog posts about review itself and reviewed packages can be find via the "software-peer-review" tag on rOpenSci blog.
You can recognize rOpenSci packages that have been peer-reviewed via a green "peer-reviewed" badge in their README, linking to their reviews (cf this example); and via a blue comment icon near their description on rOpenSci packages page, also linking to the reviews.
Technically, we make the most of GitHub infrastructure: each package review process is an issue in the ropensci/software-review GitHub repository. For instance, click here to read the review thread of the ropenaq package: the process is an ongoing conversation until acceptance of the package, with two external reviews as important milestones. Furthermore, we use GitHub features such as the use of issue templates (as submission templates), and labelling which we use to track progress of submissions (from editor checks to approval).
First, and foremost, we hope you submit your package for review because you value the feedback. We aim to provide useful feedback to package authors and for our review process to be open, non-adversarial, and focused on improving software quality.
Once aboard, your package will continue to receive support from rOpenSci members. You'll retain ownership and control of your package, but we can help with ongoing maintenance issues such as those associated with updates to R and dependencies and CRAN policies.
rOpenSci will promote your package through our webpage, blog, and social media. Packages in our suite are also distributed via our drat repository and Docker images, and listed in our task views.
rOpenSci packages can be cross-listed with other repositories such as CRAN and BioConductor.
rOpenSci packages that contain a short accompanying paper can, after review, be automatically submitted to the Journal of Open-Source Software for fast-tracked publication.
As in any peer-review process, we hope you choose to review to give back to the rOpenSci and scientific communities. Our mission to expand access to scientific data and promote a culture of reproducible research is only possible through the volunteer efforts of community members like you.
Review is a two-way conversation. By reviewing packages, you'll have the chance to continue to learn development practices from authors and other reviewers.
The open nature of our review process allows you to network and meet colleagues and collaborators through the review process. Our community is friendly and filled with supportive members expert in R development and many other areas of science and scientific computing.
To volunteer to be one of our reviewers, click here to fill out a short form providing your contact information and areas of expertise. We are always looking for more reviewers with both general package-writing experience and domain expertise in the fields where packages are used.
Our reviewing threads are public. Authors, reviewers, and editors all know each other's identities. The broader community can view or even participate in the conversation as it happens. This provides an incentive to be thorough and provide non-adversarial, constructive reviews. Both authors and reviewers report that they enjoy and learn more from this open and direct exchange. It also has the benefit of building a community. Participants have the opportunity to meaningfully network with new peers, and new collaborations have emerged via ideas spawned during the review process.
We are aware that open systems can have drawbacks. For instance, in traditional academic review, double-blind peer review can increase representation of female authors, suggesting bias in non-blind reviews. It is also possible reviewers are less critical in open review. However, we posit that the openness of the review conversation provides a check on review quality and bias; it's harder to inject unsupported or subjective comments in public and without the cover of anonymity. Ultimately, we believe that having direct and public communication between authors and reviewers improves quality and fairness of reviews.
Furthermore, authors and reviewers have the ability to contact privately the editors if they have any doubt or question.
We are grateful to the following individuals who have offered up their time and expertise to review packages submitted to rOpenSci.

Saturday Open Thread: College Football, Sort Of
Three FBS-on-FBS matchups!
By Tom Stephenson@tcstephenson1 Sep 5, 2020, 12:37pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Saturday Open Thread: College Football, Sort Of
Jim Brown-USA TODAY Sports
All right, so, what should be the first Saturday of college football season is instead a shell of its normal self. Gone are the marquee matchups; in fact, there's nothing involving a Power 5 team this weekend.
In their place, three FBS-on-FBS matchups, which after South Alabama-Southern Miss on Thursday are three of the first four such games of the season. There are also three FBS-on-FCS matchups, one of which is being televised on ESPN. Yep, they needed content.
Anyway, here's your schedule for the day:
Eastern Kentucky at Marshall (12:00 PM, ESPN)
What the hell, this game is on ESPN.
Middle Tennessee at Army (12:30 PM, CBS Sports)
A team in black and gold playing Little Middle? Where do I sign up?
SMU at Texas State (3:30 PM, ESPN)
Every now and then, I have to remind myself that SMU went 10-3 last year and was ranked as high as 15 in the AP poll, because this feels like it was a decade ago. It was actually last year. Also, I am sure Import's wife is thrilled that Sonny Dykes is winning ten games a season at... SMU.
Houston Baptist at North Texas (6:30 PM, ESPN3)
I used to live a few miles from Houston Baptist's campus, and drive by it on the freeway. However, I do not think I have ever actually met anyone who attended Houston Baptist. I am not convinced that it actually exists, but they are playing North Texas.
Arkansas State at Memphis (7:00 PM, ESPN)
The closest thing we have to a marquee matchup today. Memphis is, of course, coming off a 12-2 season, a #17 finish in the AP poll, and a Cotton Bowl loss, in which they could not do the world a favor and beat James Franklin's Penn State squad. Blake Anderson has turned Arkansas State into a very consistent 8-5 squad.
Stephen F. Austin at UTEP (8:00 PM, ESPN3)
Do not be surprised if Stephen F. Austin wins this.
Andrew, I assume, will have your MLB open thread up later. There is the PGA TOUR Championship on TV this afternoon, as well as the UEFA Nations League, most of which is on ESPN+ but two of which are on ABC! Also, NBA and NHL playoffs — the NHL has a Game 7 between the Islanders and Flyers on NBC at 6:30 PM. The NBA has two playoff games starting at 5:30 PM on TNT. There's also some soccer on this Saturday. Hell, talk about whatever you want.

Q: With CodeIgniter, how would you create a user account and then send an email with form values? Using CodeIgniter, I am using a form to create a user. The user does get created in the database. In my users model, I am manipulating the value of verification_hash before it gets inserted into the DB:
public function set_user(){

    $data = array(
        'temporary_email'   => $this->input->post('email'),
        'password'          => $this->input->post('password'),
        'verification_hash' => sha1(mt_rand(1000, 9999999))
    );

    $this->db->set('created', 'NOW()', FALSE);

    return $this->db->insert('users', $data);
}

Then, I want to be able to send an email using the Email class. I need to be able to use the new value of 'verification_hash' in my email.
If there is a better way to do this, I'm all ears, I'm still learning CI. Thanks, Jason

A: You could just return the the $data array and then your controller code will be something like
public function foo()
{
 if($this->input->post('user'))
 {
    //Validation rules

    if($this->form_validation->run())
    {
        $user = $this->user_model->set_user();
        $this->load->library('email');

        $this->email->from('email@email.com', 'Name');
        $this->email->to($user['temporary_email']);

        $this->email->subject('Welcome');
        $this->email->message($user['verification_hash']);

        $this->email->send();

    } else {
        //Reloads Same form with errors
    }
 }
}

But im not shure why you create a user for temporary data like that i would rather have a like a url table and then have the unique_hash/url | user_id | status  and then get them to full in most important data and then send the email and then for them to proceed to do the more important stuff on the site the hash_status must be set to used


Slought: Walter Mignolo (Duke University), "The Decolonial Imagination"
Slought is pleased to announce The Decolonial Imagination, a conversation with Walter D. Mignolo, Gabriel Abudu, and Victor E. Taylor on the history and development of decolonial thought and theory, on Wednesday, February 6, 2019 from 5-7pm. This event is co-presented with the York College of Pennsylvania's Institute for Civic Arts and Humanities and the Department of English at the University of Pennsylvania.
The Decolonial Imagination engages Mignolo's recent book with Catherine E. Walsh entitled On Decoloniality: Concepts, Analytics, Praxis. As Mignolo writes, decoloniality is a way to fundamentally address and resist how human beings are being "ruled." It is an examination and confrontation of power alongside and before coloniality—the material conditions for invasion and control. Decoloniality is also a way of imagining, a process of creatively shaping a world-future that holds the possibility of an existence radically unaligned with Western systems of epistemological, political, and theological hegemony. The decolonial imaginary gives us a perspective on these possibilities and the material conditions required to bring them more fully to life in the arts, literature, and politics.
What does the decolonial imagination mean for civically engaged arts and humanities? In brief, it means a process for radical intervention, a process for disrupting the "Western cultural cartel" that claims for itself an exclusive sufficiency in the world for understanding, making, doing, and living—the "Colonial Matrix of Power" in full force. The civically engaged arts and humanities, through the decolonial imagination, become sites for making Western cultural sufficiency glaringly insufficient and subject to foundational change through a multitude of artistic and critical decolonial uprisings.

Phosphorus is a mineral found in the body that is important for building strong bones and teeth (along with calcium), promotes energy metabolism as it is necessary for B-complex vitamin utilization, promotes growth, maintenance and repair of all body tissues, buffers body fluids for acid-base balance, and acidifies the urine and reduces the risk of kidney stones.. Dietary phosphorus is absorbed in the small bowel.
Phosphorus is available in many forms. Sodium phosphate is available as monobasic, dibasic, and tribasic sodium phosphate. Potassium phosphate is available as monobasic, dibasic, tribasic, potassium phosphate. Some preparations have a mixture of different forms. Use of these salts for treatment of phosphorus deficiency requires medical supervision.
Calcium phosphate salts are mainly used as calcium supplements and come in tribasic and dibasic calcium phosphate.
Some homeopathics are phosphate salts (ex. Kali phosphoricum, Ferrum phosphoricum, Magnesium phosphorica, and Natrum phosphoricum). Phosphorus is also prescribed homeopathically.
1mL of milk contains approximately 1mg of phosphorus .
Adults Over 55 Years: No problems are expected.
Pregnancy: Take under doctor's supervision only and not in megadoses.
Breastfeeding: Take under doctor's supervision only and not in megadoses.
Anabolic Steroids - Increases risk of edema.
Antacids with aluminum or magnesium - May prevent absorption of phosphates.
Calcium-containing Supplements and Antacids' - May decrease phophate absorption.
Captopril - Increases risk of too much potassium (hyperkalemia).
Corticosteroids - Decreases phosphate absorption.
Cortisone Drugs or ACTH - Increases serum sodium.
Digitalis Preparations - Increases risk of too much potassium (hyperkalemia).
Dilantin - May decrease phosphate absorption.
Enalapril - Increases risk of too much potassium (hyperkalemia).
Salicylates - May increase plasma concentration of salicylates.
Testosterone - Increases risk of edema.
Iron - Separate intake by 1-2 hours of potassium phosphate as it may interfere with iron supplementation.
Vitamin D - Enhances phosphate absorption but may increase chance of too much phosphorus in the blood and body cells.
Alcohol - Decreases available phosphorus for vital body functions.

Background: The incidence of colorectal cancer in the United States declined substantially over the past 20 years, but evidence suggests that among younger adults (under 50 years at diagnosis), incidence is increasing. However, data on age- and stage-specific incidence trends across racial/ethnic groups are limited.Methods: All incident cases of colorectal cancer diagnosed from 1990 through 2014 in adults aged 20 years and older were obtained from the California Cancer Registry. Incidence rates (per 100,000), incidence rate ratios, and triannual percent changes in incidence were estimated for each age group at diagnosis (20-49, 50-74, 75+ years), sex, stage, and race/ethnicity (non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black, Hispanic, and 7 Asian American groups).Results: Of 349,176 incident colorectal cancer cases diagnosed from 1990 through 2014, 9% were in adults younger than 50 years. Increases in incidence of early-onset colorectal cancer, especially in regional/distant stage disease, were observed in most racial/ethnic groups (statistically significant for non-Hispanic whites and Hispanics, ranging from 0.9% to 2.9% every 3 years). Incidence also increased in Vietnamese and other Southeast Asian groups of screening age (50-74 years). The incidence of colorectal cancer in non-Hispanic blacks aged 50+ declined over the 25-year period, but remained significantly higher than in non-Hispanic whites.Conclusions: Further research is needed to understand the causes of the increasing incidence of early-onset colorectal cancer. The rising incidence of colorectal cancer among Southeast Asians of screening age and the persistently high incidence in non-Hispanic blacks also warrant attention.Impact: Our findings may have implications for revisiting screening guidelines in the United States.

All the posts are now showing on main page but when I go to any category it shows an empty page. Even though that category has posts.
The method I discover of showing those posts is to manually hit update button in the dashboard and it shows on that category page.
I have tried bulk post update, run SQL query but all in vein.
Can anyone help me on this one? :)

Faculty union at Univ. of Illinois ends strike; contract vote May 5
May 2, 2016	4:24 PM CDT By Michelle Zacarias
After 19 months of negotiations, and a five day strike cut short, the faculty union at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign-called the Non Tenured Faculty Coalition (NTFC)– and the administration tentatively agreed on a contract Saturday evening. For many of the non-tenured faculty, the long fought battle has finally proven to be victorious, as educators resumed class on Monday.
The bargaining sessions that took place between faculty and the administration began as far back as October of 2014. Conrad Bowling – a Federal mediator- was brought in for at least three of those sessions to help negotiate terms. Additionally, Kay Emmert, a lecturer in the English department, acted as one of the lead voices on behalf of the NTFC Local 6546, while Leslie Arvan, the Director of Labor and Employment Relations, led for the administration.
The union's original demands were based on the contractual rights that were established for the non-tenured faculty at the University of Illinois-Chicago (UIC), which operates within the same university system. It included multi-year contracts, merit reviews, with clear appointment and reappointment procedures and guidelines, as well as shared governance. These stipulations were initially met with defiance from the administration, as discussion over the contract details remained disputed. At one point, according to the union, the faculty was told that the university was "not interested in changing" the terms of their employment. In several cases the administration accused the union of launching an online smear campaign against Interim Chancellor Wilson and Interim Provost Feser to try to coerce negotiations. It was reported that Ed Feser's email and inbox remained overflowed with messages from supporting students and faculty.
It was this buildup of tension that led to the eventual strike by the NTFC Local 6546. Once protest began, however, the administration sent out a mass email addressing the need to amend the ongoing situation. Wilson and Feser stated April 18th that they were vigorously working on a settling a fair contract and that they regretted the "disruption" that a work stoppage would cause the student body.
Following these events, students and faculty were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief Saturday afternoon as union members voted to suspend their five-day strike and to move forward with ratification. The Campus Faculty Association publicly posted on Facebook announcing that they had reached a tentative agreement. An official vote of the membership to ratify the very first contract will be held Thursday May 5th. "We're proud of the work we have done," the NTFC said in a statement, "but we are overwhelmed by the love and support we've gotten from our brothers and sisters in the labor movement and in the community."
NTFC president Shawn Gilmore also spoke to People's World in general terms about the final contract, saying "the contract has been warmly received by the membership thus far, and the specific language of the tentative agreement will be available to our members throughout the week, before a ratification vote on Thursday." The union was able to get language that addresses its top concerns, as well as a raise in the salary floor for non-tenure-track faculty that will go into effect in the the coming years. Gilmore noted, that the new terms "will serve to stabilize many of our members' lives and represents a real commitment to the quality and duration of these faculty members' service. It is a very good first contract, and one that we can build on going forward."
While the tentative new contract represents a victory for the NTFC, the finalized ratification vote remains scheduled for Thursday. Regardless, the strike has certainly raised more awareness about the needs of the non-tenured faculty to the general campus population. At the end of a long fought bargaining process the union stands tall, despite all the odds originally stacked against them.

A 'Peace of Art' creative competition has seen young artists from around Harare coming together and showing various works of art that express opinions and experiences on various social issues.
The initiative which is held every year under the theme "A Peace of Art" is a call to artists between the ages of 15 to 30 years to participate for them to learn more on various artistic mediums which include drawing, sculpture, paint, photography, dance, poetry, drama song and film.
According to the Creative Director of the Zimbabwe German Society, Roberta Wagner, the idea is to instil peace education in artists at the same time promoting artistic development in line with the many socio-political issues.
Goeth-Institute Information Officer, Clare Shambira says the idea is to support young upcoming artists and to give them a platform where they can present their works and create new works for career development.
Recently the Zimbabwe Germany Society hosted an exhibition by two young visual artists, Richard Mudariki and Mukudzei Muzondo.
The Zimbabwe Germany Society has become a hub for arts exhibitions where artists from Zimbabwe share their experiences with artists coming from different cultures and traditions.

Q: How do I change the DEFINER of a VIEW in Mysql? When I run mysqldump, I get an error:
mysqldump: Got error: 1449: The user specified as a definer ('root'@'foobar') does not exist when using LOCK TABLES

This makes sense because foobar is a legacy machine that no longer exists.
How do I change the definer of all my tables to 'root'@'localhost'?

A: Export all the views of the database <DB>:
mysql -BNe "SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM TABLES WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = '<DB>' AND TABLE_TYPE = 'VIEW'" \
    information_schema | xargs mysqldump --single-transaction --no-data <DB> >views.sql

or:
mysql -BNe "SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM VIEWS WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = '<DB>'" \
    information_schema | xargs mysqldump --single-transaction --no-data <DB> >views.sql

Edit views.sql and recreate them:
cat views.sql | mysql <DB>

Specify -u and -p switches if necessary.

A: What I think is that the database you are trying to dump contains procedures/methods that were defined by a user while logged in as root@'foobar'.
Now the solution is that you have to replace the definer's for that procedures/methods
then you can generate the dump without the error.
you can do this like ..
 UPDATE `mysql`.`proc` p SET definer = 'root@localhost' WHERE definer='root@foobar'

Be careful, because this will change all the definers for all databases.
Try it....!
UPDATE on 9th Feb 2012
As I saw the link given by @gbn which is an answer given by @Rolando that can also be the Case. Please visit the link
EDIT by @RolandoMySQLDBA 2011-12-16 11:20 EDT
While risky, this answer is good. Just to clarify: You can specify the database in your query like this:
 UPDATE `mysql`.`proc` p SET definer = 'root@localhost' WHERE definer='root@foobar' AND db='whateverdbyouwant';

A: Easier to use the --single-transaction switch:
mysqldump --single-transaction -u username -p db > db.sql

A: The quickest solution would just be to re-create the definer so it does exist, as long as it doesn't create any conflicts with existing users.
CREATE USER 'root'@'foobar';

Every year homeowners suffer serious losses from fire, theft and natural calamities with the cost of damages running into billions of dollars. To protect against extensive financial loss, homeowners should have an up-to-date homeowner's insurance policy that adequately covers both home and possessions.
A well designed policy can protect a homeowner from losses if the home is burglarized or vandalized, or if there is a fire or natural disaster. Moreover, homeowners insurance protects personal belongings and protects the homeowner against lawsuits if someone is injured while on the owner's property.

Crown Resorts Powers Relevance-Driven Facebook Ads with Dynamic UGC
1 mins read time
Customers Digital Advertising Entertainment Social Advertising Tourism
Crown is one of Australia's largest entertainment groups. With its flagship Crown Resorts and casino serving 29 million visitors annually, the company contributes $4 billion per year to the national economy.
The goal: Tap into existing streams of high-quality content
Crown's Melbourne and Perth resorts are among the most visited tourist destinations in the country, and user-generated content (UGC) showcasing patrons enjoying themselves abounds in social channels. Until they teamed up with Stackla and relevance-powered advertising platform Brand Networks, however, that earned media went largely unutilized.
With breathtaking architecture and serene spaces like restaurants, function areas, conference facilities, theaters, and over 2,800 hotel rooms, Crown's visitors post a steady stream of high-quality photos on Instagram. Crown hoped to use this UGC to reach and engage its loyal patrons as well as travelers researching the brand and its destinations on social media.
Brand Networks automates the creation of dynamic, UGC-driven social ads
Stackla and Brand Networks helped Crown Resorts devise a way to simply and effectively convert UGC into paid media through automation. The combination of Stackla and the Brand Networks Platform surfaced the best user-generated Instagram photos to the Crown marketing team, empowered them to easily gain permission to use the photos, and enabled them to instantly publish the photos into Facebook ads.
To automate the promotion, Brand Networks deployed its award-winning Open Signals technology, which receives the incoming feed of UGC and turns it into Facebook Photo Ads.
Results: 25% more Post Likes, 40% more impressions, 21% lower CPMs
The new cross-channel strategy utilizing user-generated content topped the performance of other engagement-focused campaigns. Compared to concurrent campaigns with similar budgets and targeting, the UGC-driven campaigns produced a 21% lower cost-per thousand impressions (CPM) with 40% more impressions. Positive sentiment as measured by Post Likes was 25% higher at a 61% lower cost-per Post Like. Crown's Instagram follower growth rate also increased in stride.
"Our new social advertising strategy, powered by technology from Brand Networks and Stackla, ensures our best earned media is instantly promoted into ads that are timely, highly relevant to our audiences, and extremely authentic," says Christopher Coyne, Chief Marketing Officer at Crown Resorts.


A goof by the UK Conservative Party in a fundraising letter shows just how careful you need to be with the data you're working from.
Embracing the Internet is of course crucial for modern charities. Andrew Papworth, however, argues that this World Food Programme ad makes the mistake of ignoring an important section of society by focusing so heavily on online users.
I'm a sucker for online videos to deliver important messages and sell causes and charities. But this one from Oxfam is a 'no sale' as far as I'm concerned.
It is by no means unknown for me to be critical about Greenpeace's advertising – particularly its tendency towards confrontational belligerence and its lack of any sense of humour.
If you want to unlock people's philanthropy, says Jeff Brooks, don't take the humanity out of your fundraising. Make sure your donors see who needs their help and what they can do.
Jeff Brooks has some more severe words for ad agencies and their questionable campaign creations for charities.

Brandy's Hidden Problem
Brandy, a 2-year-old grey, female kitty came to see me because she was not acting like herself. She was exhibiting some unusual and vague behaviors such as meowing more than normal and hiding from her beloved person. She was also not eating much.
Her owner knew something wasn't right but couldn't figure out what was bothering her… and initially, neither could I. First of all, Brandy was difficult to examine as she was very frightened and would hiss and growl whenever I got near her. It was difficult to look in her mouth, but I did notice her belly was painful when I felt it. I thought perhaps she had eaten something she shouldn't have and that was causing a painful abdomen, or maybe pancreatitis. Our radiographs showed some thickening of her intestinal walls so I had to add inflammatory bowel disease to my growing list of issues. Then, I treated her with some medications to help with pain, nausea, and inflammation and although they helped somewhat, she wasn't quite back to normal.
To the contrary. Her appetite was getting worse so I sent her over to a specialty hospital for an abdominal ultrasound to see if that technology could find something that my x-rays and bloodwork weren't telling me.
The ultrasound study was normal. Hmmm… What could be going on?
The specialty hospital recommended, based on her lack of appetite, that they admit her and insert a feeding tube so that she did not get worse from lack of nutrition. They had to sedate her to put in the tube, and while under sedation they noticed an ulcer under her tongue.
Was the ulcer under her tongue the hidden problem all along?
The specialty hospital fed Brandy through the tube and gave her some other medications to soothe her stomach. Within 2 days Brandy was back to normal but the doctors at the specialty hospital were very puzzled as to how she would have developed this ulcer. They suggested that perhaps she had chewed on an electrical cord at home, but the owner could not see how this was possible given what he knew about his home environment. But Brandy was feeling better and that's all that mattered.
Fast forward 2 months…
Brandy began to not eat well again and came back to me a second time. I reviewed everything they had done to her at the specialty hospital and compared them to my original notes and treatment plan. Suddenly, I noticed that one of the meds they had given her was an acid blocker, a medicine that people might take for acid reflux.
And then it dawned on me…
Could Brandy have had acid reflux the whole time and that's why she developed an ulcer in her mouth? I sedated Brandy so that I could see if she had another ulcer in her mouth, but this time she did not.
Without a definitive answer, I decided to treat Brandy for an upset stomach AND acid reflux.
Amazingly, Brandy was back to herself within 24 hours, and while this was great news, something is still bothering me.
Acid reflux in cats is very uncommon.
There's not much research to guide us but basically, acid reflux occurs when acid that is in the cat's stomach flows backward into the esophagus where it acts as a caustic agent. The acid can cause holes or ulcers to develop in the esophagus and mouth which is very painful.
Furthermore, acid reflux in cats is not usually a primary problem, but a symptom associated with a bigger, underlying problem. For example, cats have a muscle at the end of their esophagus, called a sphincter. If this muscle is abnormally relaxed, it will allow excess stomach acid to enter the esophagus and cause ulcers. Alternatively, in a cat with late-stage kidney disease, a feline's body may be faced with a side effect, an extraordinary amount of acid circulating throughout the digestive system causing the same sores and pain.
Tests that can help us find the cause of Brandy's reflux can include but are not limited to:
a series of x-rays using a contrast agent
an upper endoscopy which is a long tube inserted directly into the esophagus and stomach so that abnormalities can be directly visualized
At the time of this publication, we do not yet have an underlying cause of Brandy's reflux disease, but I am hopeful that we will very soon!

Malaysia arrests 79 in Sabah
Those arrested are believed to have links to the Filipino 'intruders,' even as the death of a suspected militant raises the number of dead to 61

FELDA SAHABAT, Malaysia - Malaysian police said Saturday, March 9, they had arrested 79 people in Sabah state on the island of Borneo as skirmishes to end a month-long incursion by armed Filipino Islamists left one more dead.
The death of a suspected militant in a shootout Saturday raised the toll to 61 as Malaysian authorities pursued scores of Filipino gunmen who landed in Sabah last month to resurrect long-dormant land claims.
Federal police chief Ismail Omar said operations to "flush out" the intruders were continuing, with one militant shot dead as he sought to escape a security cordon around two villages and overgrown plantation and swamp land.
"Up to now the police have arrested 79 suspects whom we believe have some links with the intrusion," he said without specifying where the suspects were seized or giving more details on them.
Ismail said Friday, March 8, that police had arrested more than 50 men and women outside the battle zone under a security law. They were being investigated for "committing terrorist acts," the New Straits Times reported.
Worst security crisis
Malaysia has vowed to end the incursion, its worst security crisis in years, and rejected a ceasefire call made by the leader of the fighters, who are followers of a Philippine sultan.
The sultan's officials say about 235 people took part in the mission to reassert a historical claim over Sabah, just a short boat ride from the southern Philippines.
Since they landed on February 12, the main group of militants had been holed up in a sleepy farming village until two deadly shootouts with security forces a week ago triggered a military assault that scattered them.
However, reports of other gunmen elsewhere along the coast have sparked fears of a wider infiltration by fighters and the possibility of sympathizers already in Malaysia helping them.
Meanwhile, Phil Robertson, Asia division deputy director of Human Rights Watch said on Saturday, "The situation on the ground in the conflict zone in Sabah is still quite murky and the government of Malaysia should provide clear and accurate information on what has occurred. At this point, it's critical that the Malaysian authorities ensure the protection of all civilians in the area, and allow humanitarian access for the provision of emergency assistance to those affected by the violence."
Robertson added, "We're concerned about the Malaysian government's use of the Security Offenses Special Measures Act (SOSMA) to detain reportedly more than 50 individuals, and call on the government to either charge them with a recognizable criminal offense or release them. All parties to the conflict should heed the call of UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon to 'act in full respect of international human rights norms and standards.'"
Malaysian authorities say 8 policemen and 53 militants have been killed in the crisis, stirred up by Jamalul Kiram III, the supposed heir to the former southern Philippine sultanate of Sulu.
The incident has left the Southeast Asian neighbors in a prickly situation with elections in both countries to be held within months. - Rappler.com

Learning how to say 'you' in Indonesian: why it's time to embrace its complexity
Associate Professor Dwi Noverini Djenar
0Facebook0Tweet0LinkedIn0
Indonesian has been claimed to be a relatively easy language to learn for native speakers of English, partly because it also uses the Roman alphabet. According to the US Department of State's Foreign Service Institute, it takes approximately 36 weeks or 900 hours to achieve 'Professional Working Proficiency' in Indonesian, compared to 'exceptionally difficult' languages such as Mandarin Chinese and Japanese, which take approximately 88 weeks or 2,200 hours to achieve a comparable level of proficiency.
Yet, there is a seemingly simple aspect of Indonesian that eludes learners: how to say 'you' to an addressee.
Like western European languages such as French, German, Spanish and Italian, Indonesian has more than one form of 'you', but unlike these languages and more akin to other languages in East Asia and Southeast Asia, it also has multiple forms for 'I' and these are not limited to pronouns. Kin terms from various Indonesian and foreign languages, titles, and names are widely employed. I will focus on the question of 'you' in Indonesian.
Deciding which 'you' form to use is not always easy for Indonesian language learners because in any given conversation, a speaker needs to consider who their addressee is in relation to them and on what kind of occasion they are speaking. The pervasive use of kin terms, titles and names in Indonesian poses a particular challenge for learners who are unfamiliar with a system that is relatively more complex than English.
In Indonesian, kin terms can be used to refer to the self (i'I'), the addressee ('you') or a third party ('s/he'), depending on who speaks and to whom. Take kakak 'older sibling' and adik 'younger sibling' for instance. The statement 'Kakak tahu adik sakit' can be translated into English as 'I know you (younger sibling) are sick', 'You know I (younger sibling) am sick' or 'The older sibling (s/he) knows that the younger sibling (s/he) is sick'.
Which of the translations is correct depends on whether the statement is uttered by an older sibling to their younger sibling, a younger sibling to their older sibling, or by a person who is reporting to someone that the older sibling knows their younger sibling is sick. Note that Indonesian is not unique in this instance, as a well-known study on Vietnamese by anthropologist Hy Van Luong demonstrates.
Indonesian language textbooks used in Australian schools generally mention that kin terms such as ibu 'mother' and bapak 'father' are appropriate when speaking to adults, including one's teacher. Second person pronouns kamu and anda are introduced early in teaching as terms for self-introduction and greeting. This seems simple enough as an introduction to the Indonesian speaker-addressee system, but it doesn't necessarily properly equip Indonesian language learners with skills to participate in real-life interaction with speakers of Indonesian, which is ultimately the aim of learning the language.
There seems to be a tacit assumption that dramatic simplification of the system is necessary for learners who are practicing language in the limited context that is the classroom. Such an assumption is problematic because the reality is, when learners step out of the classroom, they inevitably encounter people, face-to-face or virtually, in social roles that are not limited to teachers and peers. And if language learning is about developing intercultural skills that enable learners to engage with speakers of the language, then a reductionist approach doesn't help in achieving this goal. Among other reasons, it engenders a false thinking that social relations expressible in Indonesian are either hierarchical (student-teacher) or flat (peers).
Why kin terms are not just about respect
To clarify the issue, it's useful to distinguish between addressing and referring to the addressee. In referring to the addressee, the addressee is implicated in what is said. Take the following situation for example. A teacher who saw a colleague carrying a tray of coffee while trying to open their office door, rushed to help the colleague. In return, the colleague said: 'Thanks, you're so kind'. In this utterance, 'you' refers to the colleague, implicating the person as the one to whom the evaluative phrase 'so kind' is intended to apply.
Addressing is the act of nominating someone as the recipient of an utterance. Consider the following situation. A teacher is asking students in the class to each take a turn in reading a text. Turning to a student called Jane, the teacher said 'Jane, you are next.' This utterance consists of two main parts: the proper name 'Jane' and 'you are next'. The proper name is being employed to call out the student named Jane, to draw her attention that she (and not Yukiko or Tom, for instance) is the person being spoken to or addressed. The pronoun 'you' in the proposition 'you are next' refers to Jane and identifies her as the person being instructed to read next.
In Australian schools, it's common for students to address teachers with 'Miss', 'Mrs' or 'Mr' (with or without name) and to refer to them with 'you'. It's in the latter that the problem arises when learners speak Indonesian. Take the simple utterance 'I gave it to you this morning, Miss.' To say this in Indonesian, the kinterm ibu 'mother' would be used for both the addressee reference 'you' and the address term 'Miss': Saya sudah berikan ke Ibu tadi pagi, Bu (ibu is commonly shortened into bu when used as an address term).
A common error among learners in this instance is to use the Indonesian pronoun anda as addressee reference instead of the kin term. I discuss below why this pronoun is unsuitable for instances such as this. Further research could help us understand whether the error is simply a result of unfamiliarity with a system that makes use of multiple forms for 'you' such as Indonesian, or it's motivated by an assumption of literal equivalence, that is, an assumption that an utterance containing a pronoun in a source language should also be rendered with a pronoun in the target language.
Anthony Liddicoat and Angela Scarino, writing about intercultural language teaching and learning, emphasise that, in language learning, languages and cultures are not separable, and learners' linguistic and cultural repertoires interact in complex ways in the process of language learning. They also highlight the point that meaning, or 'message', doesn't reside in linguistic elements alone but crucially includes elements that are not linguistically expressed but are understood through shared knowledge.
The Indonesian kin terms ibu 'mother' and bapak 'father', when used by students to address their teacher, may be functionally equivalent to English 'Miss' and 'Mister' in the school context. But these are not two sets of semantically equivalent terms. Ibu and bapak, like the English terms, indicate gender and social status, and when students use them to address their teacher, they invoke asymmetrical, student-teacher role relations. Because of this, the terms have been described in language textbooks as terms that should be used to show respect. But ibu and bapak, unlike 'Miss', 'Mrs' or 'Mister', also denote kin relations and people use them to address and refer to adult addressees in a wide range of occupations, from the president and ministers to teachers, bus drivers, food sellers, home helpers and school caretakers.
When used in the school context, ibu and bapak do not merely identify teachers as individuals of a particular gender and social status but implicate the speaker and addressee as social actors who are related to each other in a web of kin relationships, with all the associations to rights and responsibilities that such relationships are understood to entail.
Kin terms can be used to convey respect but also show feelings of familiarity and affection. As learners progress in their learning and interact more with speakers of Indonesian, they would also find that those terms are used in ways that depart from the norms, so instead of conveying respect, they may use the same kin terms to question others' actions or to make fun of them.
Given these considerations, the range of kin terms that are taught should extend well beyond those usually employed to convey respect in asymmetrical relations, to include terms learners can use to refer to addressees of different ages and social roles. Apart from enabling learners to extend their language learning beyond the classroom, gaining broader knowledge of cultural practices in which those terms are involved helps to avoid the common fallacy that ibu and bapak are only used when talking to someone older, as has been generally promoted.
Misconceptions often occur in the reductionist approach to teaching about kin terms. For example, an Indonesian teacher told her partner, who does not speak Indonesian, that her students call her ibu, and that the word means 'mother'. Hearing this, the partner earnestly commented: 'Your students must respect you so much that they call you 'mother'.' This misconception is common among those unfamiliar with Indonesian. Some adult students continue to be uncomfortable when others in the class call them ibu or bapak as they claim it makes them feel old, even as they recognise that these terms are multivalent.
Why reductionism doesn't work
In Australia, Indonesian is taught against the background of English as the instructional language. The usual way of referring to the addressee in this language is by using the pronoun 'you', regardless of the speaker's or addressee's age, gender and social status.
Compared to English, Indonesian seems unwieldy because it has multiple pronouns for 'you', some are standard forms while others are used mainly in colloquial speech and informal modes of written communication such as text messages and online chats. The question about which ones should be included in teaching material naturally arises. Most textbooks settle for the following pronouns: kamu and anda. A popular textbook used in Australian schools during the late 1980s through to the early 2000s gives the following description for these pronouns.
When you are speaking to somebody and want to say 'you', take care to choose the appropriate form of address.
When speaking to children, or intimate friends and relatives, use either: kamu or engkau.
When speaking respectfully to people of a similar age to you, and who you do not know intimately, use either: anda or saudara.
(all bold face and italics in the original)
There is clearly an attempt here to introduce multiple pronouns (though saudara, meaning 'relative', is not a pronoun, strictly speaking). However, the instructions are problematic, not least because relations between people that these pronouns are supposed to signify are reduced to just two social dimensions: age and degree of familiarity. To say nothing of the fact that parts of the instructions are simply wrong.
While kamu is indeed a pronoun commonly used to speak to children, among friends or relatives of a similar age, engkau is mainly found in novels, poetry and song lyrics. Imagining a student talking to their peer using this poetic form, one would be forgiven for thinking they are characters in a classic novel. Similarly, it is highly unlikely that a young Indonesian speaker would use anda or saudara to speak to an unfamiliar person of a similar age or younger, regardless of situation (remember this is a textbook for high school students).
The assumption that anda is appropriate to use with strangers of a similar age, as the textbook suggests, is misguided and doesn't help learners develop knowledge that enables them to be competent participants in social interaction. The same textbook gives the following model conversation for anda. Ibu is an adult female talking to Yanti, a younger female speaker.
Ibu: Siapakah nama anda? ('What's your name?')
Yanti: Nama saya Yanti, Bu. ('My name is Yanti, Bu.')
(bold face and translation added)
Anda is a pronoun coined by technocrats in the 1950s as an attempt to have a socially neutral term that citizens of the-then newly independent nation could use to refer to each other as equals. But as anthropologist Joseph Errington observed among Javanese Indonesians he studied, speakers used this pronoun not to mark equality but to identify the addressee as anonymous or absent. Anda, as Errington remarked, has an 'impersonal character' and was commonly used in advertising. This pronoun is also widely used in journalistic interviews.
More recent textbooks may not repeat this dramatic error, but the tendency to reduce the various forms for 'you' into kamu and anda seems to persist, as can be seen in a recent free online Indonesian language course, and also in samples of student work viewable through the Australian Curriculum website. And so, it continues to be engendered in learners that, in Indonesian, any potential addressee can be identified in stark terms, either as someone familiar (kamu) or socially distant (anda).
To be fair, it must be mentioned that the textbook from which the above examples are taken is only one among several that were used in schools at the time. However, despite variation in the description of 'you' across older textbooks, a common approach that prioritised certain forms can be found. This situation is gradually changing with more recent learning resources expanding the range of forms to include sibling terms and proper name.
Rethinking the Indonesian language textbook (and other types of learning material)
What should be done to make sure the complexities of Indonesian addressee-reference system are reflected in the learning material for this language? The present Australian Curriculum (for Languages, Years 7-8) provides useful guidance for this.
In its description for understanding language, the Australian Curriculum recognises that language use varies 'according to participants, roles and relationships, situations and cultures' and that registers shift 'according to familiarity and social position'. It is somewhat unfortunate, however, that this important point is accompanied by examples for register shifts reminiscent of the narrow focus in older texts: 'using kamu and aku for friends, and Anda, Ibu/Bapak for teachers and adults'.
Notice that the kin terms and pronouns mentioned are precisely those at issue here (with the exception of aku 'I', which is a first-person pronoun). Perhaps this is where the opportunity for fine-tuning lies. Rather than mentioning specific terms, the description could identify general principles that underpin interactional norms. If giving specific examples is important, perhaps consideration could be given to a wider range of terms to reflect the variety of social roles people occupy in daily life.
Textbooks could make more room for an explanation that language is used to communicate with people in varied roles, and that in any given interaction, people are likely to refer to their addressee as well as themselves. Introduction to the range of language forms available in Indonesian can follow from this. A more recent textbook currently used at several Australian universities provides an example of how this can be done succinctly. The model could be easily adapted for school texts.
Examples of interaction in which the different forms of 'you' are used are valuable in showing learners how the forms they learn in class can be applied in daily situations. Video examples from the New South Wales Department of Education and Communities produced in 2015 include exchanges in which, instead of a pronoun, a personal name is used (such as a student speaking to a fellow student, a school principal speaking to a newly arrived Indonesian student). Examples such as these could provide the basis for metapragmatic discussions to promote awareness of diversity in referring practices.
Learning materials that include model conversations between two adults familiar with each other in which they use ibu and bapak to address and reference each other would also help learners move beyond the stereotyped model of respect. Online material for beginners Indonesian designed by the University of Victoria (Canada) provides an example that could similarly be adapted for schools.
Needless to say, these are only a few among many examples of resources that can help learners develop what scholar Claire Kramsch calls 'symbolic competence', that is, the competence to recognise that the discourses that surround people in daily life—from the media to popular culture and conversations—shape their imagination and sensibilities, and which are in turn brought to bear in the process of language learning.
Learning to say 'you' is learning to engage with others
So then, to confirm what we already know: saying 'you' in many languages involves more than simply choosing which form to use and with whom; it is about learning how social relationships are formed, maintained or broken. In the language class, these relationships have to be imagined and enacted as if real for the purposes of language exercise. Through such exercises learners are introduced to the richness of social life.
Based on this understanding, if the number of forms that should be learned is to be reduced, then such a decision should be based on principles that recognise the diversity of language and cultural practices, as scholars of intercultural language teaching and learning have reminded us. Without such principles, the decision would risk running on the assumption that learners do not have the capacity to deal with a complex system and mistaking complexity with unnecessary difficulty.

Q: Common reasons behind 403 errors Below are two functions that I'm positive are written correctly.
Problem is, that there are times, when my Session does not time out, but the AJAX request returns 403 error (also happens with some other functions without any pattern).
Stack overflow is filled with questions asking for help with this problem, but I did not find any really good answers:

*

*Redirection + 403 error

*Http 403 - Forbidden error

*403 Forbidden Error

*getting 403 forbidden in ajax

*etc

Question(s):

*

*How can you cause a 403 error by code?

*If I have multiple asynchronous AJAX requests running at the same time, can it cause a 403 error? ( I do fire several (max 5) ajax requests at one time )

*Do I have to set something about directory listing in .htaccess if I want to call AJAX requests in the form of relative_path/action instead of relative_pat/action.php?

*403 can be caused, by my Session expiring, right?

AJAX:
    var root = "/test_tool";

    function isLoggedIn()
    {
        // return if the user is in the sign in window
        if ( window.location == "http://localhost" + root +"/" )
        {
            return;
        }

        var output = "";
        $.ajax (
        {
            url: root + "/users/isLoggedIn",
            context: document.body,
            async: true
        } ).done( function( result )
        {
            output = result;
            if ( output == "" )
            {
                alert( " You have been logged out. " );
                window.location = "http://localhost" + root +"/";
            }
        });
    }

(CAKE) PHP:
public function isLoggedIn()
{
    $this->autoRender = false;
    return ( $this->Auth->user('username') != null );
}

A: I know this question is a little bit old, but I had the same problem.
In my case, the problem was caused by session_regenerate_id, so to avoid it, I used the following code in my app/Config/core.php:
Configure::write('Session', array(
    'defaults' => 'php',
    'timeout' => 480, // The session will timeout after 8 hours of inactivity
    'cookieTimeout' => 480, // The session cookie will live for at most 8 hours, this does not effect session timeouts
    'checkAgent' => false,
    'autoRegenerate' => false, // causes the session expiration time to reset on each page load, but also causes 403 errors on ajax requests, therefore disabled
));

I just set the 'autoRegenerate' parameter to false. Unfortunately, you have to avoid session fixation with other techniques, look here
The problem is reported by many others too (just google 'ajax session_regenerate_id'), but I haven't found a solution to this yet.

A: 1.It is possible to get a 403 via code. Check this out from the CakePHP docs (http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/core-libraries/components/authentication.html#handling-unauthenticated-requests):
If authenticator returns null, AuthComponent redirects user to login action. If it's an ajax request and AuthComponent::$ajaxLogin is specified that element is rendered else a 403 http status code is returned.
2.Multiple Ajax calls shouldn't be the causing factor of a 403 error.
3.The standard routing is handled by CakePHP itself. If you need some different routing, you should configure this in routes.php. I would say using .htaccess is only for a really extreme routing need and should be a last resort.
4.Yes that could be a cause, since you would no longer be logged in, thus get Auth 403s (see answer #1).

The 'hero leader' is an old-fashioned notion that is still perpetuated in places by good actors who put on that show, and by people around them who would like them to be heroes to solve their problems. Even the Nobel Prize committee is looking to award prizes to teams, not individuals because achievement is never the work of just one person.
A lack of training or leadership experience themselves.
But others are quick to criticize them from the side-lines before seeing the whole picture.
In addition to their own boss or sponsor, a Team Leader has their own 'peer' team around them too – partners from support functions, other departments, stakeholders….
The question I think we could ask more often is, how is the 'peer' team around this Team Leader / Manager understanding their needs and enabling them to do a great job? Now, that would be teamwork, wouldn't it?


I always remember this quote by Jamie Jones when he was asked in an interview what he thought of Skrillex. His answer was that while it wasn't for him, he thought it was great because if it got people into electronic music, then maybe a few years down the track, those same kids would come looking for him. When i listen to this amazing EP by Switzerland's Trinidad, I can't help but think of this quote and think that maybe the next step for these kids, after Skrill and after (or in conjunction with) Jamie, would be to lose themselves to these kinda jams.
This is soulful, emotive, musical house made with real feelings. The whole ep makes me want to close my eyes and swirl around on some big expansive dance floor in a forest somewherein the alps of Switzerland. It's also just sounding amazing in my headphones while i write this.
