Legacy of Arthas Menethil in Shadowlands - Screen Rant Interview with Steve Danuser Preview - Spoilers
由 Anshlun 发表于 2020/10/29,18:25
In a recent interview with Screen Rant, Steven Danuser, Lead Narrative Designer for World of Warcraft, revealed some of the major story points to be covered beyond the initial storyline of Shadowlands, including pieces discussing the legacy of Arthas Menethil. The full interview isn't currently available, just this teaser about the fallen prince.

Story Spoilers Ahead
During the Interview, Steve Danuser teased about what kind of Arthas moments in Shadowlands players can expect:
Steve Danuser
At the conclusion of the first act of the Shadowlands arc, there is a scene in which several of our main characters discuss the legacy of Arthas Menethil. They note that his specter hangs over all of them like a shroud - an apt metaphor for an expansion focused on Death.
The story of Arthas from Warcraft III to its conclusion at the end of Wrath of the Lich King is one of the most iconic tales of our canon. We do not invoke his name lightly. At the same time, Shadowlands allows us to explore the origins of the darkness that consumed the heart of the young prince. In the process, we just might learn more about him and the others whose lives were forever impacted by the choices Arthas made.
It is important to remember that Danuser previously mentioned that Blizzard didn't have any major plans to revisit Arthas' story. Shadowlands will focus on the storyline of the repercussion of Sylvanas' actions. However, being in the realm of death, fighting the source of the power of the Lich King, gives the story team perfect opportunities to explore more about how Arthas' decisions impacted and still impact the world of Azeroth.
The full interview will be available "soon" according to Screen Rant. We will cover it whenever it is available.
Arthas in Shadowlands
Ever since the Bastion cinematic showed Uther's post-death story, players have been wondering if we are going to meet Arthas at the Maw at some point in the expansion. In our in-depth analysis of the cinematic we discussed the implications of having Arthas in the Shadowlands story or not.

I really don't want see Arthas with a "rendemption". And this doesn't even make sense.
Arthas chose to become a villain.
We saw this in Warcraft 3, at the end of WotLK, this is described at the end of the book.
He chooses to kill his human "conscience", and then NerZhul, to become one with the LK.
Making Arthas a good guy is Blizzard ignoring COMPLETELY the story of the most iconic character in her games.

His story was and will be perfect. Exploring, detailing it further won't damage it.
New to the world of Retconcraft? What if Arthas was gay?

So you haven't read all the Mograine spoilers? Cool, cool
Yes, that he went to Maldraxxus instead of Bastion because of his history. He may have been a paladin, but he was also a vengeful vanquisher of undead. Not to mention it was his memories that gave him strength, both good and bad.
Bastion isn't the afterlife for ALL holy warriors. Its for those chosen by the Kyrian, and I doubt they'd chose ANYONE to be a blue angel. Hense why even our Death Knights and Warlocks could choose to ally with them.
Again. READ THE SPOILERS. There is a quest where a Shadowlands native casts a spell on Mograine that reveals that he never gained strength from the Light, and tells him that the Light is piddling and has no power in the Shadowlands.
It is unbelievable that I have to sit here lecturing people on @#$% that already exists that they are too lazy to read, and yet feel the need to argue about.

I dunno, J.K.Rowling likes to stuff around with Harry Potter character lore in a negative way for no reason. Blizzard can go that way as well...especially when so many veteran WoW devs have jumped ship recently.
Going to agree with this. Sometimes it really feels like the new writers have a big chip on their shoulder in regards to the established lore and just want to rush it to an unfinished conclusion for no other reason than to make room for THEIR stories. Considering how badly Azshara, N'Zoth and the Black Empire in general were mishandled in BFA I have very little faith at the moment in the current devs handling old storylines like Arthas or Uther with any amount of grace. If they want to tell their story about some brand new Titan++ villain just invented a few months ago that's fine, just please spare as much of the established lore as possible while doing so.
They are handling Uther and Alexandros like @#$% ALREADY. I still cannot comprehend that they decided THE Lightbringer has to go to the $%^&ty undead afterlife because apparently the Light has been lying all this time about having a paradise it brings its greatest champions to. Not only that, but they retconned him taking strength from the Light even when he was alive. It's like bad angry teenaged militant atheist fanfiction, except it's new lore writers that want to *!@# on the old ones so they can take ownership of everything.
Ummm except the light has already been proven to be tyrannical years and years ago theres hints and messages and evidence everywhere that maybe the light isn't just "good" how some people think
How is it possible to be so stupid that you don't realize I'm arguing against $%^&ty retcons and that the Light-as-evil is one of the &*!@ty retcons forced into the narrative after Metzen left?

Damn dude, you are one angry human. This is all make-believe. Try not to take it too seriously, go outside for a bit and breathe some fresh air.

@MaximusPM You know when I look at the lore today, I really do have to appreciate his story. It's cliché, but the way it's written was what resonated with audiences. Tragic heroes have been done a lot, so the way stories like that are written are key. Overrated maybe, but for good reason. However, I never like fanboyism/fangirls cause they always tend to ruin everything. I only hope this story does remain untouched.
@kaleestraza What I find funny is how you're calling it Arthas fangirlism, when at the same time you're doing your own for Ner'zhul. NZ was never obliterated, wtf is that all about? Suppressed is the term, and Arthas became the dominant personality of the lich king. He was still within the lich king, just the inferior half. Arthas then cast out his heart to abandon any remaining humanity, which at that point was weakness. He believed he was in control, it's not really a stretched out speculation that he could not be redeemed. Tirion noted this when he got a hold of Arthas's heart, but realized he was too far gone. Arthas at that point had his own agenda, he wasn't MC'd anymore.
Now this new information, yes unless it's flat out stated that the jailor controlled Arthas it's nothing more than speculation. But remember, the Jailor is basically blizzard retcon information. But even without it, Arthas was considered to be independently evil for a few things:
(1) He had no soul left. The dominant personality was the Arthas that lost his soul and his humanity. The light within him stayed his hand from annihilating azeroth, but it was a dwindling presence like NZ.
(2): He had his own plan, not one created from elsewhere, for Azeroth. As he willingly spearheaded attacks on the Alliance and Horde, to recruit champions that would mirror his own journey and take leadership positions in the scourge.
(3) Again, he believed he was in control. He no longer cared for his past self, saw it as weak and held him back from his true potential. Arthas was MC'd by NZ's influence through frostmourne up until he became the LK. Anything that has to do with the Jailor is just additional retconned information that may lessen Arthas as the ultimate villain (which I don't like) but ultimately doesn't change that overall premise that Arthas believed he alone would reshape azeroth of his own accord.

Q: How to create a Java object in C (using JNI) that can then be assigned to a variable declared in Java? From C using JNI, I would like to create a Java object that is then assigned to a variable declared in Java. I have been reading a lot about this subject but so far could not reach to any conclusion or code a solution. Basically, what I would like to do is the following:
In Java:
(...)

Object myVar;

c_function(myVar);

System.out.println(myVar);   // print the content of myVar which was created in C

(...)

In C:
#include "jni.h"

(...)

void c_function(jobject my_var)
{
    jclass jcls;

    jcls = env->FindClass("java/lang/Object");
    my_var = env->AllocObject(jcls);
}

(...)

A: Java is pass-by-value. So you can't modify value of reference even using JNI. Here are some options you can use
1. Add return type to your method
You can change signature of your function from
void c_function(Object o)

to
Object c_function()

So you can use the following C implementation
JNIEXPORT jobject JNICALL Java_Main_func (JNIEnv *env, jclass cls) {
    jclass jcls = (*env)->FindClass(env, "java/lang/Object");
    jobject obj = (*env)->AllocObject(env, jcls);
    return obj;
}

2. Pass reference inside mutable wrapper
You can use AtomicReference, Object[] or your own custom implmentation.
Here is an example with Object[]
Java code:
public class Main {
    static {
        System.loadLibrary("Main");
    }
    public static native void func(Object[] o);

    public static void main(String[] argv) {
        Object[] v = new Object[] { null };
        func(v);
        System.out.println(v[0]);
    }
}

C code:
JNIEXPORT void JNICALL Java_Main_func (JNIEnv *env, jclass cls, jobjectArray jarr) {
    jclass jcls = (*env)->FindClass(env, "java/lang/Object");
    jobject obj = (*env)->AllocObject(env, jcls);
    (*env)->SetObjectArrayElement(env, jarr, 0, obj);
}

A: You appear to be trying to using JNI to implement a method with a pass by reference argument.
Sorry, but it won't work.  Java arguments are pass by value.  Period.
No matter what you do in the C code, the Java code is going to pass the value of myVar as a call argument.  Since the C side is never told what address of myVar is, and since (in general) it cannot find this out, you cannot make call by reference work.
Instead, you need to use one of the standard workarounds for this limitation in Java:

*

*Just return the value as a regular result and rely on the caller to assign it to the destination variable.

*Return multiple value as a result array or object and rely on the caller to assign the values to the destination variables.

*Pass an array or object as an argument and return values by modifying its cells of fields.

*In Java 9+ create and pass a VarHandle; see https://www.baeldung.com/java-variable-handles.

*Use reflection.  This only works if myVar is a class or instance field, and you will need to pass the name of the field as a String or in the form of a Field reference.
On the C size, just perform the relevant operations on the Java objects using JNI operations.

It is possible (in theory) for the C code to break JNI abstraction and try to find out the address of myVar on the stack and assign stuff to it directly.

*

*This is nasty / dangerous / non-portable stuff.  It is liable to fail if low-level JVM implementation details change from one platform to the next.  (Including JVM versions on the same hardware.)

*If you mess up, you are liable to corrupt stack or heap memory with unpredictable consequences.

*There is no good way for the C side to figure out which variable the caller is passing as a parameter.  That's fine it it is always the same one.  But my reading of the question is that you expect this to work for an arbitrary (reference) variable.

Since August 2015, Nigeria security forces have executed at least 150 indigenous People of Biafra (IBOP) activists and injured hundreds more during peaceful assemblies.
On 30 May 2016, during the Biafra Remembrance Day, around 1,000 activists gathered for a rally in Onitsha, Anambra state, south east Nigeria. 60 IBOP were killed by security forces that day.
Extrajudicial executions such as these are unlawful. They violate the right to life, as guaranteed by Nigeria's Constitution and International law.
Also, many IPOB activists have been arrested and subjected to various forms of torture, enforced disappearance and charged with treasonable felony, which carries the death penalty.
The families of these men and women deserve answers and justice.
Please sign the petition, urging the Governor of Anambra State, to instruct a prompt, independent and impartial inquiry into the killings of Biafra activists and other serious human rights violations, committed by the security forces.
We call on you as the chief executive officer of Anambra state, to immediately direct the state government to take all measures necessary to initiate a prompt, independent and impartial investigation into the serious human rights violations against IPOB members and supporters in Anambra.
We call on you to promptly establish a commission of inquiry into the extrajudicial executions and enforced disappearance of IPOB members and supporters with a view to bringing the suspected perpetrators to justice in fair trials without recourse to the death penalty.


See this as soon as you can. Simply the best value in the area and sitting on the very fringe of Hyde Park and the Beaufort st caf strip. Nothing more to spend and with a generous courtyard this property is a must see for the serious unit buyer or investor.
Fabulous inner-city unit in an established garden group is ready now to simply move in and enjoy.
Fully refurbished with smart new kitchen, new laundry with plenty of cupboards and a fresh contemporary bathroom.
Plenty of natural light brightens the large living/dining room, a generous kitchen/work space adjoins and bigger than usual master bedroom has a full wall of built in robes. Includes split reverse cycle air conditioning and near new carpets and recent painting.
Completing the picture a rear paved limestone courtyard, ideal for lazy summer alfresco living with undercover parking at the front.
Walk to work or ride, on the very fringe of the caf strip and Hyde Park. Suit the owner occupier.


I got to cram as many practical resources as I possibly could into eight small slides.
It made me take stock of the plethora of innovative programs working to reform school food around the country.
It was an opportunity to focus on the folks in the front lines trying to bring about change one small step at a time.
As you'll see in the slide show over at Great Schools, you don't need to host a press conference at Twitter HQ or front a reality TV show or even be married to the Commander in Chief to replace sugary cereals with a salad bar.
Moms like Susan Rubin, Dana Woldow and Michelle Stern walk you through seven simple steps you can take to start a food revolution in your school.
Sarah – this was such a lovely post and I am truly honored to be a part of it. I just wanted to give a quick shout-out to the amazing women (and token man!) who have been a part of our local school lunch revolution. We have worked very hard for the past year with our food service director (sometimes with intense emotion!) to adapt the foods that are being served to our diverse population. Without their help, my interest in triggering change would have most likely been dead in the water. It was truly a team effort.
Thanks for chiming in Michelle — and for acknowledging that it does, indeed, take a village to revamp a school's cafeteria. I know it can be tough to see the progress when you're in the trenches but you have accomplished a tremendous amount in a year in a bureaucracy that moves slowly. Good luck with more improvements to come.
I just caught something on the news last night about a school banning homemade lunches. Seriously? I hope you'll write about what's going on with that.
I had the same question–to ban homemade lunches outright?! Schools definitely can have a positive impact, but this seems extreme to me.
Trust me, if they tried that in our school district my kid would have a conniption.
My oldest child is not yet three, but I get shivers when I read the weekly school lunch menu in the paper. It's inspiring to see parents get together to create such positive, important change.
And think how much better things can be in two years, Anna, when your oldest presumably heads off to kindergarten.
If the community bands together they can certainly make a major impact in school lunches and, as a result, their childrens' health. Thanks for this post.
As I cover different communities that try to fix school food I'm often struck by how just one person who wants to make change can rally a whole posse to take on the cause.
Sarah – I always love your posts about kids and school lunch programs and people making a difference. It really does take just one person to make a difference. Someone who will rally others to take up the cause. Thanks for spreading the good word.
Thanks, Jane, I so appreciate that. But the kudos really belongs to the folks out in the trenches fighting the good food fight, often against significant obstacles.

Seattle Arena
Leiweke discusses Hansen, KeyArena on Brock and Salk
By Taylor Made@TheTaylorBartle Dec 14, 2016, 11:56am PST
Share All sharing options for: Leiweke discusses Hansen, KeyArena on Brock and Salk
Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images
Tim Leiweke, president of the Oak View Group who is looking to renovate KeyArena, appeared on the Brock and Salk radio show this morning. Among the topics discussed were said renovation, as well as Chris Hansen's Sodo arena. Here are some excerpts;
"Let's take a deep breath, let's bring the smartest people that we could possibly find to analyze whether or not Seattle Center and an arena can work there and if it does, we are prepared to go finance it and fund it privately without a franchise. We will make it work standalone on all the other events."
The most interesting thing about that quote is the "we are prepared to go finance it and fund it privately without a franchise." This is the first time we've heard any mention of how a renovation would be financed, and hearing that it would be done so privately is greatly encouraging, considering Hansen's would be as well. It's also quite interesting to hear that they would be willing to renovate the Key without a franchise, basically doing the whole thing on spec and making it work in the interim with only concerts and other events. As far as Chris Hansen's arena, Leiweke had this to say:
"We are not here to ultimately rain on their parade. This is not an us-against-them scenario. Seattle is a phenomenal music marketplace, Seattle is a phenomenal sports marketplace. We're prepared to take a private risk and build an arena without an anchor tenant, which, in that case, means the leagues are chasing you, you're not chasing the leagues. And that's how you get teams.
"And if, at that point, Chris wants an NBA team, he's more likely to get one and he can take it. Not only will we not stand in his way, we will do everything humanly possible to make it work economically.
"We are fans of Chris. We are friends with Chris. I admire Chris and (SoDo partner Wally Walker). This is not a competition and we've made it very clear. We have no intention, our purpose here is not to own the team. Our purpose here is to help bring a team here."
This is extremely enlightening as well. Leiweke not only said that his group does not want to be owners of any sports team, but that they would welcome Chris Hansen to own an NBA franchise in their new arena. In fact, Leiweke said that they are unable to own a franchise.
"One of my partners is Madison Square Garden. They already own an NBA team and they already own an NHL team, so we are prohibited from owning a team. We want to be the catalyst so this might be the best day Chris ever had because we might be able to solve the facility issue without him spending $700 million or $800 million. And so we don't want to stand in Chris' way and, in fact, we want to encourage Chris, and if you look at the process in the last two months, the reality is the deal is only going to get better for the taxpayers and only going to get better for Seattle because that's what competition will do. This is a friendly competition and our goal is actually Chris' goal. And Chris, Wally, myself and Lance, we agree on one thing: We'd like to see the return of the NBA or the NHL."
Leiweke's Oak View Group is meeting tomorrow with Tim Romani of ICON Venture Group, who is overseeing the renovation, and Chris Carver of POPULOUS, the architecture firm who designed Las Vegas's T-Mobile Arena, Denver's Pepsi Center, and Louisville's KFC Yum! Center, among many others.
"I don't know whether or not at the end of the day the footprint could be expanded, the capacity could be expanded and the square footage can ultimately be expanded in order to meet the minimum standards of the NBA and the NHL, but I know Tim Romani and I know Chris Carver, and they are the two smartest guys I know about arenas and they tell me they believe it could be done, and they're going to do an exhaustive project here and we're going to put in literally seven figures in order to make sure that we flush this out to see if we, in fact, can build a world-class arena that will be acceptable to the NHL and the NBA at the Seattle Center."
This is all very encouraging news. It sounds like one way or another, we will have a new(ish) arena in the Seattle area soon. Then it will be up to the NBA and NHL to put teams in it. It's encouraging to hear that all the parties have the same goal and that goal is to return two more professional sports leagues to our great city.

Etiquette Tips from 10 Pop Culture Icons
By Alison Nastasi
You're not a proper celebrity these days unless you're a brand and you've cornered the lifestyle market. Jay-Z, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Blake Lively are just a few of the famous figures who have built their empire by offering fans wellness tips, recipes, fashion exclusives, and more. Liv Tyler is joining the ranks of celebrity lifestyle gurus with a new book she wrote with her grandmother, Modern Manners: Tools to Take You To The Top. Etiquette is always in style, so we've brought you tips from pop culture's finest that will improve your politeness and make you a better person.
The advice in New York Magazine's Urban Etiquette Handbook seems obvious to the sane and rational person, but not everyone knows how to behave around a celebrity. The publication spoke to David Cross to get his take on how to behave when it comes to brushes with fame. His number one rule?
"If you don't know who he is, ask your friend. Or a stranger. Don't ask him. And certainly don't ask him to keep listing his résumé until you realize he's the guy from Blade of Innocence 2 who lost his shoe and got killed by the vampire with outer-space AIDS."
The Arrested Development star believes buying a celeb a beer is the best approach:
"There's something very communal and unpretentious about it. Although even if you send a free beer, please don't walk up to me and start making fun of my friends. I don't know what you're thinking — they're my friends! Don't raise your beer and, while toasting, say, 'Personally I think [fill in the blank] is a dumb bitch!' This actually happens, frequently, and I've never understood it."
Amy Poehler also spoke to New York Magazine to add her two cents to their Urban Etiquette Handbook. We already know she gives great advice based on her Smart Girls series, so we're always prepared to do whatever she wants in order to become better humans. "My absolute pet peeve is people who are rude to waiters," she admitted.
"Etiquette in New York is all about time management," she added. "In other places, you seem rude if you see someone and don't talk to them long enough. But here, it's all about speed. And people are fine with that. It's like, 'Hello. It's nice to see you. Thank you for giving me your kidney. I gotta go.." And here's a handy list she created that everyone should memorize:
1. Be nice to everyone, especially people wearing hospital bracelets. 2. Don't ask white girls if they "left their ass at home." 3. If you have to bring your baby to a movie, make sure he laughs at appropriate times. 4. Don't eat Cheetos and then sit down at a fancy hotel piano. 5. If you are in Central Park and think you are getting mugged, first check to see if maybe you're just part of a student film. 6. If you see Oprah at a fancy function, don't grab her wrist and ask for money. Quietly sneak up behind her and whisper, "You give me that money, Oprah. You hear me?" 7. When walking on a New York street, try not to spit, litter, bleed, or take a crap. 8. If you need to do any of these things, try to do it between two parked cars.
Beyoncé is probably the only person who can get away with this while playing pool. Still, she has some good tips ("BEY Confident") and does an amazing victory dance.
One of Lena Dunham's essays for The New Yorker taught us how not to behave on Facebook. The story centers on an old college boyfriend and a Facebook message from his mother, delivered two years after the couple broke up:
"Hi, Lena — Bill and I remember you with such pleasure and fondness! But it's time to sever the Facebook connection so I'm going to block you. We wish you all the best!"
The awkward announcement turned out to be great fodder for Dunham, but she describes how mortified and confused she was at the time. Hey moms: next time just unfriend. Quietly.
We live in a world where celebrities are more accessible to us than ever before. Events like Comic-Con are a smorgasbord for fans looking to connect with their favorite stars — and here's more fan etiquette from the one and only Patrick Stewart. The actor joined this Star Trek: The Captain's Summit sit-down with fellow Trekkies Whoopi Goldberg, William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, and Jonathan Frakes. Whoopi asks the group when fandom becomes too much to deal with, and Stewart pipes up to state what should be the obvious: "inappropriate physical contact." It starts around the 4:23 mark.
Wil Wheaton and Felicia Day
Speaking of fan conventions, nerdy pals and creative collaborators Wil Wheaton and Felicia Day scripted an etiquette guide for the geek community at the monster known as Comic-Con. Felicia advises that everyone wear deodorant (seriously, wear it) and most importantly, "have fun with your friends, because being a geek is about having a great community most of all." Wil added that patience is key — but so are comfortable shoes and plenty of water. And let's not forget the very important rant Wheaton wrote about respecting people's privacy and not acting like a total lunatic. That's good etiquette no matter where you are.
The Mindy Project star thinks it's just plain rude to hog the karaoke machine, especially when it comes to one kind of song in particular:
"I don't care if Don freakin' McLean shows up in a red-white-and-blue tuxedo, no one is allowed to sing "American Pie." It's… kind of hostile to a group of partiers to pick a song longer than three minutes."
In his recently published book of advice and personal essays, Paddle Your Own Canoe, Parks and Rec actor Nick Offerman fills readers in on the "fundamentals for delicious living." He also spoke about etiquette in an interview for GQ. When asked about his code for behaving properly, Offerman shared these wise words:
"I would say, first of all, be prepared. I can't say enough about that. Right now I'm traveling in New York City, but I still have my Swiss army knife on me. I grew up among farmers in Illinois and so you always have to have the tools you might need in the eventuality of a flat tire or a broken window. In the traditional role of man, it falls to you to keep the weather out and fish in the boat. Two: Be polite. Good manners have gotten me as far as anything else in this business. The first film I did, Chain Reaction, was with Keanu Reeves and Morgan Freeman. I had some really nice scenes as Keanu's building super, which were then completely cut from the film [giggles]. Anyway, at the end of my day on set, I hung up my costume in the trailer, and the wardrobe assistant came to pick it up. I said something involving please and thank you. She stopped, put her hands on her heart, and said, 'Can I just say thank you so much for treating me like that, and for hanging up your clothes?' I said, 'Are you kidding me?' And it quickly became clear, as I continued working, that having manners was equivalent to a superpower in the business."
No one entertains with wit and sass like Amy Sedaris. Her book, I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence , is a fun guide for the hostess with the mostess. Bonus: there are recipes and crafts. Amy advises to respond immediately to party invites, never bring a guest or arrive early without asking, don't bitch and moan about your miserable life as soon as you walk through the door, and valuable other pointers. Inappropriate introductions are also a big no-no: "This is Barbara, she can't have children."
Larry David, the high-strung Emily Post of pop culture, essentially plays himself on Curb Your Enthusiasm. Here's a delightful mashup detailing the neurotic star's standards of etiquette. Remember: don't abuse your sampling privileges, don't make chit-chat in the doctor's office, deliver bad news in a casual way, and don't ask to try someone else's glasses on.

My requirement is initially user should get restricted to 3 colors only then if they buy new colors they should get more colors.
So how to code it for inApp purchase because I will be implementing it for the first time. I can restrict the colors in the band via CGFloat locs[3] and initializing array only for 3 colors  initially but how should I code it keeping InApp purchase thing in mind.

A: When the user picked a color:

*

*check if user has bought in-app purchase (can use NSUserDefault to track). If so, proceed

*Otherwise, check if the picked color is a free color. If so, proceed

*Otherwise, bring up in-app purchase pop-up

Q: SaaS provider wanting Single-Signon, do I need to integrate with several Identity Providers? I work for a SaaS provider that is wanting to SSO enable our application to enterprise customers with our application acting as the service provider.
I understand the concepts behind what needs to happen and that SAML is an  appropriate solution for what we are looking to do.  Looking at bigger SaaS providers (slack, dropbox, new relic etc..) I can see they typically seem to integrate with a number of Identity Providers such as OneLogin, Bitium, Okta, Ping Identity etc... along with generic SAML support
As a smaller outfit we don't have the resources to partner and integrate with multiples of ID providers and to continue to add to that list as new providers emerge.
My question is that in order to provide SAML support in our application do I really need to have integrations with multiple IDPs or can I rely on a generic SAML implementation?
So if for example I used OneLogin to set up Single Sign On does that only enable SSO for clients who are using One Login as their Identity Provider?

A: No. It is not required IMHO. As long as you are SAML 2.0 compliant (SP-Lite typically), you'll find that you'll have customers using many different commercial (and open source) Identity Provider solutions. The vast majority of SaaS vendors have not done anything specific to support different IDP implementations. The SaaS supports the SAML 2.0 spec and ends up having customers integrating successfully with the different (IDP) products. At that point they claim to "support" the different providers.
Adhere to the spec as best you can and the rest will take care of itself.


Studies have shown that consuming garlic can reduce your risk of getting certain cancers, like cancer of the stomach, colon, pancreas, esophagus, and breast. It has the ability to block the growth and stop the activation of cancer-causing agents. Garlic also helps in repairing DNA and slowing down the reproduction of cells.


FAQ: What does the law really let me do?
So what does the law really allow me to do as a parent?
Parenting can never be strictly 'hands off' and as you see the law is very clear parents are totally free to keep their kids safe, out of trouble and to go about normal tasks of parenting and caring for their children.
'to make better provision for children to live in a safe and secure environment free from violence by abolishing the use of parental force for the purpose of correction.' Elsewhere on this site you'll find background information on positive discipline as well as tips on positive parenting.
A coalition of organisations committed to positive outcomes for children and families wishes to set the record straight regarding the child discipline law.
After much debate and consideration of opinion and international evidence, this law was passed by both Labour and National and came into effect in May 2007.
It's time the nation got the straight story on what the law does and doesn't say, and how it is being used. The law is both fair and sensible.
It clearly states that parents can restrain or physically remove children from a situation to keep them or another safe from harm and to prevent them from engaging in any criminal, offensive or disruptive behaviour.
Parents can, of course, also perform the normal daily tasks that are part of good care and parenting, such as carrying a child to their room at bedtime, even if they protest; or holding them back from running onto the road; and enforcing boundaries, such as stopping them from hurting another person or an animal, shouting in a restaurant; and other disruptive behaviour. Fair and sensible.
It does not allow the use of force for the purpose of correction. Children and adults now have equal protection under the law from all forms of assault. Fair at last.
It also clearly states that the police are not expected to prosecute in cases where assaults are very minor. Police monitoring of their activity in this area shows no significant increase in complaints, investigations or prosecutions. This information is on the police website for anyone to read and parents can be reassured. Again, fair and sensible.
So, physical punishment is out, positive parenting is in. Love, warmth, guidance, encouragement, clear boundaries – these are the parenting strategies that work and that support children so they know what is expected of them, what the rules are, and at the same time they feel valued and loved.
So let's clear up the confusion. Let's be fair and sensible and simply get on with supporting each other to love and nurture our children.

Q: Binding MVVM Command to TimePicker control in UWP I'm using a TimePicker control on a XAML page and try to react on changes in the corresponding ViewModel. I added the Xaml.Interactivity and Xaml.Interactivity.Core namespace to my page in order to use the Behaviors SDK to trigger the command once the TimeChanged event is called.
<!-- XAML Namespaces -->
xmlns:interact="using:Microsoft.Xaml.Interactivity"
xmlns:interactcore="using:Microsoft.Xaml.Interactions.Core"

<TimePicker x:Name="TestTimePicker" ClockIdentifier="24HourClock" Time="0">
    <interact:Interaction.Behaviors>
        <interactcore:EventTriggerBehavior EventName="TimeChanged">
            <interactcore:InvokeCommandAction Command="{Binding DataContext.TimeChangedCommand}" CommandParameter="{Binding ElementName=TestTimePicker, Path=Time}" />
        </interactcore:EventTriggerBehavior>
    </interact:Interaction.Behaviors>
</TimePicker>

For the code in my ViewModel I use ViewModelBase and DelegateCommand from Template10.
public DelegateCommand<TimeSpan> StartTimeChangedCommand { get; set; }

public TestViewModel()
{
    ...
    TimeChangedCommand = new DelegateCommand<TimeSpan>(TimeChangedAction);
    ...
}

private void TimeChangedAction(TimeSpan obj)
{
    //do something with obj
}

Once the Page is Initialized a InvalidOperationException with the following message gets thrown.
Adding or removing event handlers dynamically is not supported on WinRT events.

A: Thank you for the discussion @Archana. I found a work-around for my problem.
Instead of using Binding to connect with a Command in the ViewModel I am now using compiled binding x:Bind to directly connect the event with a handler in the ViewModel.
I updated the TimePicker control
<TimePicker x:Name="TestTimePicker" ClockIdentifier="24HourClock" Time="{x:Bind ViewModel.TestTime, Mode=TwoWay}" TimeChanged="{x:Bind ViewModel.TestTimeChangedEvent}" />

And the code in the ViewModel
public void TestTimeChangedEvent (object sender, TimePickerValueChangedEventArgs e)
{
    TestTime = e.NewTime;
}

A Living Grief
Brothers Never to Part
By Giovanny Panginda with Philip Alimoren
Photography by Jessica Park
Jan 01, 2016 | min read
Part of 39: Departures
The loss of his brother was devastating — but Philip found personal and spiritual renewal in remembering Paul's life.
THE SUMMER AIR WAS COLD and windy in Ocean Shores, Washington, on the last Saturday of July 2014.
As the sun was setting below the horizon, 18-year-old Paul Alimoren, his companions, and their youth pastor were huddled around a bonfire. After a long but fulfilling week teaching Vacation Bible School, the Southern California-based youth group was ready to let loose and relax at the beach near West Chance a La Mer.
As the night went on, the girls began walking barefoot toward the water, giggling and gesturing for their friends to join them. The boys were reluctant to go with the girls, but Paul — the one who always got people to bond — eventually convinced them otherwise. Soon, the sounds of laughter and the pattering of feet filled the moonlit night as the friends chased one another across the shallow water.
No one seemed to notice the water growing with more intensity, swelling past their ankles and weighing down their knees. A riptide formed a narrow funnel perpendicular to the shoreline and made a suction movement toward the teenagers. Its powerful current began dragging some of them away from the beach into the deeper ocean, tossing and turning them like a washing machine.
Its powerful current began dragging some of them away from the beach into the deeper ocean.
Paul was the first to realize what was happening. He jumped into the water still wearing his jeans and sweater and managed to tightly clutch the shirt of his 15-year-old sister, Dessa, who was close by. As they made it back to shore, they found some of their friends coughing up ocean water. Paul took a quick mental count: "Where are Litia and Angel?"
Without hesitation, he jumped back into the water to swim towards Litia, who was a few yards away. He reached her just in time — before another wave was about to hit and separate them, Paul pushed Litia toward the shore, and the wave carried her to the shore's edge.
The waves kept coming, though, as Paul turned back to retrieve the last member of their group, his best friend, Angel. Paul grabbed Angel as they both struggled to remain afloat. With the sound of their friends screaming for them, Paul gave Angel one more push toward the shore. The next violent wave hit at 8:30 p.m.
On the other end of the West Coast, the summer night in Los Angeles was warm and slightly breezy.
Twenty-year-old Philip Alimoren, a 5-foot-7-inch Filipino with brown eyes and black hair, had spent the day with his parents at a company picnic at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. On their way home east toward Pomona, Philip dropped off his father, an accountant, at a client's place to finish some last-minute work. He and his mother continued the drive back home.
The orange and yellow sky, illuminated by the sunset, had just faded into darkness when Philip and his mother reached their driveway and headed inside the comforts of home. It had been a long day and Philip was looking forward to relaxing.
A sharp ringtone startled him. Philip glanced at the caller ID and wondered why his sister Dessa was calling.
"Can I talk to Mom?"
It sounded as if she had been crying. A little suspicious, Philip handed his phone to his mother. As she began talking with Dessa, Philip saw his mother's calm demeanor quickly change to panic.
"What do you mean? What happened?" Mrs. Alimoren yelled, clutching her chest as if it could slow down her suddenly racing heart. "No, I don't believe it — let me talk to someone else!" Tears quickly formed and flowed down her cheeks.
Philip rushed to his mother's side and grabbed the phone just as she went into shock and her legs gave way.
Philip rushed to his mother's side and grabbed the phone just as she went into shock and her legs gave way.
"What did you tell mom?" Philip asked. "What happened?"
His sister found the courage to speak again and said, "I can't find him ... I don't know where he is!"
The water along the Washington coast can be cold and harsh. The chance of surviving in the ocean for more than eight hours is next to impossible. After a certain point, it is inevitable for hypothermia — when your body loses heat faster than it can produce it — to set in.
When emergency responders arrived at the beach that night, they searched for Paul until midnight passed. The Coast Guard resumed the search the next morning, but a thick blanket of fog prevented the use of a helicopter.
Paul's body was never found or recovered. He was presumed dead, and the family had a memorial service on August 15, 2014.
Paul's body was never found or recovered.
Philip barely slept after Dessa's call. About 50 members of his church came over to pray with his family from that Saturday night until the morning. His parents took the earliest Sunday morning flight to Washington, but Philip stayed behind. With the senior pastor away, and the youth pastor still in Washington, Philip was scheduled to lead worship for the morning service. Anyone would have understood if he needed the time off, but Philip felt a sense of duty to serve and worship God — even in the midst of pain. Even in his parents' week-and-a-half-long absence, Philip kept working, taking care of chores, answering media interviews, and making sure things were being taken care of at home. He felt like this was the way he could honor his parents and family during their time of grief.
It leaves one to wonder whether Philip himself had the space and time to grieve. Various members of his church took it upon themselves to act as his surrogate family. They offered him a place to stay for a few days so that he was never alone. However, Paul was very much a part of their families as Philip, and they were also grieving this loss. So Philip found himself in a peculiar situation.
"Through the Holy Spirit, you get to see a peace that surpasses all understanding ... but at the same time, I needed some comforting too!" Philip said. "The funny thing was that I found myself doing more of the comforting. I recited various biblical passages to encourage people and I reminded them that we should be jealous of Paul; he gets to see Jesus before us."
"The funny thing was that I found myself doing more of the comforting."
Of course, there were times when Philip could not stay strong and needed to be comforted. He would fall into fits of sadness and lose a sense of motivation. Philip thought he could counteract those moments by keeping himself busy, but being busy was a temporary solution that led to a much bigger problem.
"I did as much as physically possible — taking 21 units, being a part of several musical groups plus my job, and driving home each weekend," he said. "I made myself busy in an effort to run from the still and quiet moments where I would think about [Paul]."
His busyness eventually caught up to him and affected his personal relationship with God. "It wasn't until I became so worn out that God got a hold of me and reminded me that I couldn't do everything apart from him." A friend persistently shared the gospel with Philip — not because he wasn't already saved, but because she knew its message was still the best encouragement anyone could hear. Philip found that despite his grief, he could still say with complete honesty that "God is still good; we can love Him."
Philip found that despite his grief, he could still say with complete honesty that "God is still good; we can love Him."
Paul's death also caused Philip to reflect on how he spent his time and who he spent it with. It did not take him long to realize that he hadn't spent enough time with his family since entering college.
"I felt like my brother and I were close. And my brother and my sister were close. But I didn't really spend a lot of time with my sister," Philip said. "Now that the in-between was gone ... I felt this disconnect [with my sister]."
His parents, who grew more protective in their grief, kept asking Philip to watch out for Dessa. "At first, it was difficult," Philip said. "They always wanted me to be with her, especially when we'd go to the beach. But I began to realize that this provided me with extra time to get to know my sister better." Philip began to regularly call Dessa while he was away at college, take her out on boba runs whenever he was home, and even get to know some of her friends. "My brother was more her spiritual compass than I was, and now that he's gone, I hope that she can see that God is still working something in her life."
Philip's relationship with his parents also began to change. He grew to be more caring, understanding, and responsible — even learning to recognize that they needed different ways to cope. "They would compile videos of Paul singing and performing, burn them all on a DVD, and pass them out to whoever wanted it. Most of the songs are songs of encouragement or worship — my parents wanted Paul's voice and goofy antics to continue to bless people. They still give them out to pastors or missionaries they meet."
Philip found that his relationship with his parents also changed. He grew to be more caring, understanding, and responsible — even learning to recognize that they needed different ways to cope.
As the oldest, he felt obligated to be home as much as possible to take care of his family, which meant changing his routine to include the 60-mile drive home from his school in Santa Clarita every weekend. Being together in a familiar place allowed his family to grieve together.
Throughout this period, Philip read a couple of books on grief, which helped him better understand the grieving process. "Part of it was realizing that all the dreams Paul and I shared together had ended," Philip said. "All the plans we made would not come to pass. That was really hard for me to swallow. We had plans to make music, start a business, and help our parents when they retired."
Curiously, Philip found himself taking on aspects of Paul's personality, even adopting how Paul loved on people — often going out of his way to spend more time talking to people and building relationships. "My brother was better at keeping relationships than me," Philip said. "It's not that I was introverted, but as a music major, I spent a lot of time rehearsing alone or with other musicians, and not enough time with the people around me.
Philip found himself taking on aspects of Paul's personality, even adopting how Paul loved on people.
"Paul never talked about other people's relationships. He was right; it causes less rumors and drama. That was [Paul's] thing — he was against rumors and drama in the youth group."
Prior to losing Paul, Philip had the tendency to be more cautious and reserved; now he's more willing to be adventurous and fun-loving. "It's how my brother was," Philip said. "So I guess in trying to preserve my memory of him, my personality has changed a bit to reflect his."
"Knowing that Paul is already perfected in God makes me smile."
Philip Alimoren is a a 21-year-old Filipino American hailing from Pomona, CA. He is a music major at the Master's College studying audio technologies, with a minor in biblical studies. When he's not practicing music, he loves watching superhero TV shows, working out, and drinking Thai tea with boba.

COACHING DEPARTURES HURT FSU
Josh Robbins, Sentinel Staff WriterTHE ORLANDO SENTINEL
TALLAHASSEE -- If Thursday night's edition of The Bobby Bowden Call-In Show revealed anything, it's this: Florida State football fans are searching for reasons the Seminoles have lost seven of their past 20 games.
Carolyn from Jacksonville asked, "Do you think that Chris Rix's abilities would be better used in a shotgun?"
Adam of Panama City wondered, "If the people sitting around me can call 90 percent of our offensive plays, should that be a bothersome thing and maybe the coach could do the same thing on the other team?"
But maybe there is a simpler explanation.
The departures of longtime assistants Chuck Amato and Mark Richt hurt more than anyone thought at the time.
Amato left in 2000, days after the Seminoles won their second national championship, to become coach at his alma mater, North Carolina State. Amato was an FSU defensive assistant for 18 years and also was the team's assistant head coach from 1986-99.
About a year after Amato moved on, Georgia filled its vacant coaching position by hiring Richt, FSU's offensive coordinator for seven seasons and its quarterback coach for 11 years.
Amato and Richt have led their "new" teams to undefeated records this season. The 10th-ranked Wolfpack is 9-0 headed into Saturday's game with Georgia Tech, and No. 5 Georgia is 8-0 heading into Saturday night's showdown with Florida.
"The two coaches that left, they were great coaches," said Seminoles wide receiver Anquan Boldin, who arrived at FSU when Amato and Richt still were on Bowden's staff. "You can tell by what they're doing right now. They went in and did great things with the programs they're at right now.
"That still doesn't mean that the coaches that we have aren't good because you've got to look at their track records. They've done some incredible things themselves."
Still, the Seminoles' offense and defense have been inconsistent over the past two seasons.
After the 2001 Orange Bowl, Richt's last game with the team, Bowden promoted his son, Jeff, to offensive coordinator and Daryl Dickey was hired as FSU's quarterback coach. Amato was replaced as linebackers coach by Joe Kines.
This year, the Seminoles rank 16th in Division I-A in total offense, higher than Richt's offense at Georgia, which is 40th. But FSU has become more ground-oriented since Richt left and doesn't seem as sharp in its downfield passing attack.
Quarterback Chris Rix struggled enough this season to be demoted in favor of backup Adrian McPherson. The Seminoles hadn't changed their starting quarterback in the middle of a season for a reason unrelated to injury since 1990.
Richt had recruited Rix, and the quarterback has said Richt was one of the primary reasons he came to Florida State.
Meanwhile, Georgia has prospered this season while running an offense that closely resembles Florida State's during the mid-1990s.
"People must remember -- I wish they would, but they won't -- we've got now another offensive coordinator, another quarterback coach," Bobby Bowden says. "When Mark Richt first came here, and Chuck, it was four or five years before we ever got anything going good. It wasn't like we jumped up and started going undefeated all of a sudden. They had to earn their spurs first."
Amato's Wolfpack has displayed a sense of confidence that Florida State seems to be lacking this season. Amato always was known in Tallahassee as an assistant who inspired a sense of swagger.
When asked this week what he enjoyed most about coaching at his alma mater, he jokingly referred to himself as being "cocky" and "egotistical."
Amato and Richt did share a common trait during their tenures at FSU: a willingness to play devil's advocate in coaches' meetings. Both would challenge conventional wisdom and would provide alternative ideas. And both were responsible for recruiting in South Florida, one of the nation's top talent hotbeds. Richt mined Palm Beach and Broward counties, while Amato focused on Dade County.
Since Amato left, the Seminoles have signed just two players from Dade County -- linebacker Ray Piquion and defensive end Willie Jones Jr., whose father attended FSU. FSU has had similar trouble in Palm Beach County following Richt's departure, signing just defensive end Eric Moore and center David Castillo.
In 2002, FSU failed to sign a single player from South Florida.
Between them, Amato and Richt had 33 years of experience at FSU.
"They understand so fully the program and what you've got to do and this and that," Bowden said. "When you lose them, then you bring somebody in to take their place and that person has to learn all over again what they just took with them."

Miraflores de la Sierra es una estación de ferrocarril situada en el municipio español de Miraflores de la Sierra, en la Comunidad de Madrid. La estación, perteneciente al ferrocarril directo Madrid-Burgos, en la actualidad carece de servicio de viajeros. Las instalaciones se encuentran al final de la Calle de la Estación, en un desvío de la carretera M-610.

Situación ferroviaria
La estación pertenece a la línea férrea de ancho ibérico Madrid-Burgos, situada en su punto kilométrico 49,4. Se halla entre las estaciones de Soto del Real y Bustarviejo-Valdemanco. El tramo es de vía única y está sin electrificar.

Historia
Las instalaciones ferroviarias de Miraflores de la Sierra forman parte del ferrocarril directo Madrid-Burgos. Esta línea fue inaugurada en julio de 1968, tras haberse prolongado las obras varias décadas. En Miraflores de la Sierra solían parar los trenes regionales de esta línea pero tras la eliminación de estos trenes en el año 1993 la estación se quedó sin servicio de viajeros. Desde enero de 2005, con la extinción de la antigua RENFE, el ente Adif pasó a ser el titular de las instalaciones ferroviarias. Tras el derrumbe en el túnel de Somosierra, en 2011, no circulan servicios ferroviarios por este tramo.

Ampliación de la línea
El Plan de Infraestructuras Ferroviarias de Cercanías para Madrid, establecido por el ministerio de Fomento para los años 2009-2015, proyectó la ampliación de la red de cercanías hasta la estación de Soto del Real, ubicada a 13 kilómetros de la estación de Miraflores. Sin embargo, en la actualidad dicha ampliación aún no se ha completado.

The Illinois General Assembly's 2017-18 state budget tore a page from the script of "Casablanca," the 1942 Oscar-winning movie, but lawmakers likely didn't realize it.
In the movie, nightclub owner Rick Blaine, played by Humphrey Bogart, reproaches Signor Ferrari, played by Sidney Greenstreet, for always withholding a percentage of Rick's liquor shipment.
The new state budget, approved July 6, casts the Illinois Department of Revenue in the role of the cagey Ferrari.
In the role of Rick are local governmental officials who wonder why 2 percent of certain local sales tax dollars, collected by the Department of Revenue, are suddenly being withheld.
Carrying charges, my boy, carrying charges.
In this case, those new "carrying charges" were authorized by Illinois lawmakers, mainly Democrats, who overrode Gov. Bruce Rauner's veto of the state budget. Read the rest of the Sauk Valley Media Editorial.

Following an extended period of milder weather we are now, once again, entering the heating season and Donegal County Council is reminding householders in the Letterkenny and environs area that there is a ban on the burning of "Smoky" Coal.
Half a million people in Europe and 1,100 in Ireland suffered premature deaths due to poor air quality in 2015. There are 13,000 people in Donegal alone, suffering from Asthma. In Donegal, particulate matter coming from the burning of solid fuel for home heating is the main cause of poor air quality and it impacts on health through disorders of the heart and lungs. You can make a difference over the winter burning season by using longer lasting low smoke fuels.
It is the obligation of the householder to comply with the smoky coal ban when burning fuel. If as a householder you are unsure which is the best product for you, you should discuss the many different types of low smoke fuels that are available with your local coal merchant.
The other key part of this legislation is that coal retailers and coal merchants are not permitted to market, sell or distribute smoky coal inside the restricted area. Donegal County Council is currently involved in a multi-agency enforcement effort on those involved in the coal retail and merchant sector. Part of these enforcement activities involve checking for compliance, supporting the legitimate operators and taking actions against those who decide to ignore the legislation and cause harm. The work involves the inspection of delivery lorries and premises. New legislation has also made provision for fixed payment notices ranging from €250 - €1,000 to be issued for breaches of the legislation within the coal sector.
It is important to remember that the sole purpose of this law is to deliver cleaner air. It is only through the continued support of householders, coal retailers and merchants that improvements in air quality will continue.
For more information or to report a breach of the law contact Donegal County Council on 074 91 53 900 or visit www.donegalcoco.ie or visit www.environ.ie .

Negotiating Gendered Space on Japanese Commuter Trains with Dr. Brigitte Steger
Dr. Brigitte Steger, Associate Professor in Modern Japanese Studies at the University of Cambridge
Thursday 27 October 2022, 18:30-20:00
Pfizer Lecture Theatre, Department of Chemistry, University of Cambridge, Lensfield Road Cambridge CB2 1EW.
If you have a question about this talk, please contact kp568.
One of the most widely noted facts about Japanese train passengers is that so many of them fall asleep." But things happening in a Japanese train carriage can be manifold, from activities as innocuous as napping (inemuri), to silent crimes such as groping (chikan).
In her talk at CUGSS , Dr. Steger will explore the Japanese binary public gender relations by looking at the various behaviour of men and women on public transport. In a society where salarymen dominate the power relations in most settings, in what ways do men exert their privileges during commutes, and how do young women demarcate their own spaces of behavioural freedom?
About the speaker: Dr. Brigitte Steger is an Associate Professor in Modern Japanese Studies at the University of Cambridge with a research interest in everyday life. She has published widely on the social and cultural aspects of sleep. More information can be found on her homepage: https://www.ames.cam.ac.uk/people/dr-brigitte-steger

Maslow's hierarchy of needs was IMHO the representation of one of those great thoughts of humanity and I come back to it from time to time. It was written in 1943 as part of Maslow's theory of human motivations. Today, I still can use it to auto-diagnose where I'm at. If I'm worrying too much for the little stuff, for sure I'm heading towards the bottom of the pyramid.
If I'm loving, inspired, thinking creatively, then I'm heading towards the top. It's a nice graphical reminder and also for me an intention declaration.
I like to think that the pyramid is inverted in my daily life as I like to think that technology allows us to grow up in the pyramid, but I'm not convinced that either of them is really true.


UK network O2 has found itself at the centre of an embarrassing data privacy storm after it emerged that it allows websites to see the mobile numbers of all subscribers that browse the Internet using its 3G data service.
The controversy was set off by a single O2 user, Lewis Peckover, who noticed that his mobile number was being sent to every website embedded in plain text as part of the http header.
Extraordinarily, the numbers appears to be forwarded by O2's own servers when users connect to the Internet through its 3G service; anyone using a WiFi connection will not be affected because they are not traversing that infrastructure.
Given the potential for websites to capture numbers for text spamming, annoyed users have bombarded O2's Twitter feed with complaints to which the network found itself responding with a stock tweet to every user who raised the issue.
"Hi there, we're looking into this as we speak - it's important to us. Once we've got an update, we'll share it," tweeted O2.
It turns out that the issue is not new. Graham Cluley of Sophos points out that the issue was first made public in March 2010 at the CanSecWest conference in Vancouver by researcher Collin Mulliner.
The proxying by O2 is not particularly surprising, indeed all mobile networks probably do it to optimise web traffic to cross their hard-pressed 3G networks efficiently. The question is why O2 thinks it important to insert a sensitive piece of information such as a mobile phone number into data sent to websites.
It could just be inserted automatically without the intention having been to give websites the ability to see phone numbers.
So far rival networks – Vodafone, 3 and Orange/T-Mobile - don't appear to be affected by the number forwarding issue.
O2 later released a statement confirming the forwarding issue had occurred due to a routine maintenance error between 10 and 25 January 2012 which it said it had now rectified.
"We investigated, identified and fixed it this afternoon. We would like to apologise for the concern we have caused," O2 said.
