On accountability

“If the press won’t represent itself — and the people — by showing some interest in the free flow of government information, who will?” – Margaret Sullivan, public editor, New York Times

If an editor says that she is “very interested in the subject, and in following the legislation,” even if she and her staff are “particularly busy,” I would expect to see her tweet about it and retweet people who do have time to cover it. That wasn’t the case, even when the New York Times editorial pages blog wrote about it and other editors tweeted.

I can’t help but judge this to be a weak reply by the DC bureau chief. It’s particularly disheartening when the bill in question never got a vote in the House yesterday, sending Freedom of Information Act reform to expire in the 113th Congress.

Over the years, I’ve found that being politely persistent with editors over email and Twitter has led to more attention & coverage of boring but important topics. I tried a couple of new approaches to try to get attention on this count, including making “memes” and tweeting about what media companies were covering instead.

I spent the time not just because of the obvious need for FOIA reform but because I care about the New York Times and these other publications. I hoped they would put attention where it has *impact*. I can’t imagine that I made myself popular by doing so, but I’ve faced uncomfortable public questions about why I haven’t covered subjects, or how I did it. I’ve made errors of omission.

In my view, I failed; the vast majority of editors, producers and editorial boards simply didn’t cover FOIA reform, with notable exceptions at The Tennessean, Star Tribune, Review Journal, Cincinnati Enquirer, Bennington Banner, and, at the 11th hour, Newsweek.

The Washington Post did, on Wednesday, but completely blew the headline, putting no pressure on House leadership. I knew cable & broadcast news were unlikely to bother covering FOIA reform. I expected The New York Times would, when I flagged it on Sunday and contacted the public editor.

My bet was that House leadership would judge that they could hold back FOIA reform for a vote because major media would focus elsewhere. If so, they were right, and the public interest lost.
“In a political climate as divided as this, I had hoped that we could come together in favor of something as fundamental to our democracy as the public’s right to know,” said Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT), That government transparency and openness would not just be the standard applied to the Obama Administration but what is applied to every future administration. The FOIA Improvement Act would have done just that.”

Postscript: On Friday afternoon, Columbia Journalism Review published a FOIA reform dies while the press looked the other way that quoted David Cuillier of the Society for Professional Journalists, Sullivan and me.

By day’s end, publications that hadn’t covered the bill while it was live covered its death. A “Push to Reform the Freedom of Information Act Collapses in House,” reported Frontline PBS. The U.S. “House Scuttle Bipartisan FOIA Reforms, reported MSNBC. FoxNews published an Associated Press report that Congress Fails to Revise Freedom of Information Act. None of the outlets had informed readers and watchers about the bill over the previous week, or what forces or people prevented its passage.

“If we’re going to be beacons of democracy, we need to walk the talk,” Cullier told CJR.

Post-Postscript: Writing for the Sunlight Foundation, Matt Rumsey managed to publish a somewhat, well, sunny post about the death of FOIA reform.

Sunlight has been strongly supportive of the FOIA Improvement Act because it addresses real world problems faced by requesters every day, specifically targeting overly broad exemptions and limiting unnecessary fees. Just like Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., one of its strongest champions, we aredisappointed that it did not become law.

And yet, we are hopeful for the future.

Most laws never make it out of committee even after repeated attempts spread over multiple years. The FOIA Improvement Act came tantalizingly close to becoming law its first time around.

Rest assured that the FOIA Improvement Act will be reintroduced in the 114th Congress and that the Sunlight Foundation and its allies will be fighting harder than ever for its passage. We want to say a hearty thank you to Leahy, Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and everyone else that worked so hard during the 113th Congress to make these needed reforms possible. We’ll see you next year!

The Washington Post, to its credit, did a post-mortem on how this popular government transparency bill died in Congress. The reason the FOIA reform stalled in the House may not simply have been lobbying by the financial industry, however, as had been previously reported.

According to House aides, some lawmakers balked at the legislation because several agencies, including the Justice Department, warned that those making information requests would use the “forseeable harm” requirement as the basis for frequent lawsuits.

This detail led Trevor Timm, executive director of the Freedom of the Press Foundation, to argue that it was the Justice Department that secretly tried to stop FOIA reform, despite the text of the legislation being almost word-for-word the poilcy that the agency itself embraced in 2009.

Writing for the National Security Archive, Nate Jones looked for lessons from the death of the unanimously supported FOIA bill and decried “Janus-faced support for open government.”  Here was his key takeaway:

Many people –in Congress, in the agencies, in the White House, in the media– proclaim they believe in open government, but don’t really.  To me, that’s the only plausible reason a FOIA bill could garner unanimous approval (thrice in the Senate over the past seven years!) and still die; that’s the only plausible reason agencies whisper that instructions about FOIA currently on the books will ruin the federal government as we know it; that’s the reason for White House silence on the benefits the FOIA Ombuds office not being forced to run its reports though the Department of Justice so they can be “rosified;” that’s the reason the New York Times wins Pulitzers for its FOIA-based reporting, but doesn’t assign a Congressional beat reporter to cover the bill’s death.

How do we overcome these FOIA Januses?  First, we must avoid being stalled out.  We should force Speaker Boehner to act on his pledge that he “look[s] forward to working to resolve this issue [FOIA reform] early in the new Congress.”  FOIA champions Senators Leahy, Cornyn, and Grassley remain in the Senate Judiciary Committee; these senators have an impressive history of defending and working to reform FOIA, no matter which party is in the majorly.  Replacing Representative Issa on the House Oversight Committee is Jason Chaffetz (R-Ut); Democratic FOIA champion Elijah Cummings remains.  Encouragingly, Chaffetz has said he “wants to address the Freedom of Information Act and the difficulties many have in getting the executive branch to comply with FOIA requests.”  Both houses should immediately reintroduce the FOIA bill.  More than 440 members who voted for FOIA reform remain in Congress.

On Saturday, December 20, the New York Times editorial board called for the 114th Congress to revisit the freedom to see government records.

Industrial toxic wastes spread through state

By John Leone

It is truly a sick situation. Industrial
toxic wastes permeate every stage of
our ecosystem. These highly damaging
man-made substances threaten to
destroy life in our lakes, rivers and
oceans. As each day passes, they in-
filtrate further into the land where they
have been indiscriminately dumped for
over 30 years. According to the Federal
Council on Environmental Quality,
toxic wates have so saturated the
biological cycle that acid rains
(chemically contaminated rain water),
may soon cause decreases in fresh
water fish production, farm and forest
yield, and the depletion of nutrients
from soils and aquatic systems.
Although some effects may not
manifest themselves until years in the
future, many of these problems plague
our environment now. It has been
verified that half of the lakes in New
York's Adirondacka Mountains, which
contained fish and other aquatic life a
generation ago, no longer do. Think

about this. If there were enough
chemicals in the rain to kill lakefulls of
fish, then a need for quick corrective
action should appear quite serious. Fir-
st we will examine how the biosphere is
gradually being contaminated and how
such contamination is affecting human
life. From there we will look at the toxic
waste situation in Michigan.,
THE TERM "toxic waste" refers to
the estimated 56 million gallons of
chemical waste produced annually by
our indsutries. Not included are the
amounts of toxics picked up by the
average American by opening
chemically treated celephane junk food
wrappers, consuming chemical preser-
vatives, using products that emit
chemicals (i.e. hair sprays), or, in-
jesting and applying chemical drugs,
lotions, ointments, etc. Chemicals have
indeed, as one chemical ad declares,
become a major force in our lives.
Though it seems likely that these
piecemeal accumulations of chemicals

in our bodies may have some rather
unpleasant future effects, the fact is
that the problems are alrady
manifesting themselves.
Bob Eckhardt, Chairperson of a
House Subcommittee investigating the
toxics problem, has proclaimed the
3,383 toxicdumpsites to be "ticking
time bombs." 765 million tons of
chemical waste have been dumped in
these sites. These dump sites are only
those that have been discovered due to
their excessive size. The Comptroller
General's Report to the President and
Congress (6/16/78), states that "vir-
tually nothing is known about the over
100,000 industrial waste land disposal
sites." Many of these "time bombs"
have yet to be discovered-others
already have been.
For the people living in the vicinity of
Love Canal, N.Y, there was a drastic
increase in miscarriages, birth defects,
cancer and nervous system disorders
such as epilepsy and acute depression.
In no time at all, these developments
were linked to the massive doses of
liquid toxic waste that the Hooker
Chemical Co. had been dumping in the
waterway for the past 20 years. s
IN ALSEA, OREGON, the dangers of
spraying forests with 245-T (which
inexplicably, even unknown to the
producers, forms Dioxyn, the most
toxic substance known to man) was un-
covered by would-be mothers in thea
area. There was an epidemic of
miscarriages, that thanks to two of the
women involved, has been dealt with.
Though the Dept. of Agriculture's
Forest Service was doing the spraying,
they refused to act on the claims and
allegations of the public. They did stop
spraying once the complaints and
figures were turned into a federal
government study.
In Toone, Tenn., congresstional in-
vestigators discovered 300,000 buried
drums of pesticides, that were polluting
underground drinking water and
resulting in a wave of sickness and bir-
th defects in the area. These three
examples are just a small example of
this country's "chemical madness."
The situation is almost absurd. In
Elizabeth, N.J., there are 70,000 drums,
many of them corroded and leaking ex-
plosives, combustibles and chemicals
of all sorts. Officials fear the entire
mess may explode, and they cannot
clean it up until they.figure out what is
even in each of these drums!
The point here is, besides the
multipling extent of chemical con-
tamination, all too often such con-
tamination is discovered by the
physiological or biological toll on
human beings. When this is the case the
irreversible damage has already been
done and the chemicals have
irretrievably saturated the local
WHY WRE THESE extremely
dangerous substances dealt with in
such an irresponsible manner that one
doubts whether there was any regard
for human life whatsoever? There are
many contributing factors but basically
it is due to our industries calculating

DNR Photo

before the DNR, acting under emergency powers, moved in to clean up the mess left by the bankrupt firm. The drums and
barrels shown here all contained a variety of hazardous wastes.

and implementing their actions on ex-
clusively profit-oriented criteria.
If this is their attitude, then the
choice for the industries is clear: Pay
large sums to transport millions of
gallons of toxics halfway across the
country for safe disposal, pay for costly
treatment to detoxify the wastes, or
take the easy way out and pay a local
midnight dumper. Basing their decision
on a cost-profit basis, the latter option
naturally became the norm.
The State of Michigan is one of the
prime sites for a toxic chemical
catastrophe. In a just released national
study, Michigan was named not only
one of the top ten producers of toxic
waste, but one of the ten worst handlers
of the problem-the only state to be on
both of these lists.
IT IS TRULY sad that Michigan, a
state surrounded by the largest bodies
of freshwater lakes in the world, may
soon have to have drinking water piped
in from Canada. This is due to the fact
that not only the Great Lakes but much
of the Lower Peninsula's rivers and
groundwater systems have become too
contaminated to be consumed by
humans. In many areas the irreversible
damage has already been done, leaving
many rivers and their supporting
ground-water systems incapable of
sustaining the foodcycles necessary for
the fish that once plentifully thrived in
the rivers.
The most crucial problem in
Michigan, as in most states, is not the
lack of laws, it is not the continued
threat of industry abuse, but it is the in-
credibly late start we have made at

cleaning up the dumps (and the lack of
sufficient funding to do so effectively).
For according to the Comptroller
General of the United States, "Neither
the States or the EPA have the staff and
funds to operate programs effectively
for the control of hazardous waste
disposal ... and future funds are expec-
ted to be much less than estmated
It was not until 1978 that the State of
Michigan created the Environmental
Enforcement Division of the D.N.R.,
an agency empowered to deal directly
with environmental law violations.
Though the toxic waste problem is high
on the agency's priority list, Jack Bails,
chief of the EED, argues that with the
present resources it would take
"decades" to completely survey the
situation, much less clean it up. Noting
the late start of Michigan's clean-up ef-
forts, Bails has said that "It's to the
point where we may find it cheaper to
simply write off the groundwater sup-
plies for a large portion of Southern
Michigan." This is the chief of the'key
environmental agency in Michigan
speaking.The gravity of the toxic waste
situation just cannot be overstated.
The fact is however, that from a
biological standpoint, we can not just
write off the ground-water supplies of
such a large area. The grimmer fact
may be that we have no choice now.
These ground-water supplies may
really be lost to us.
Canal) had a similar incident in
Michigan. It too was discovered by the
hardship of human beings imposed

upon by the mishandling of toxics.
Tragedies similar to this one have and
probably will happen again in our state.
Since August 1978, a list of potential
"trouble spots" in Michigan where
toxic waste problems could strike has
been compiled. The list includes 37 sites
where private wells are known to be
contaminated, 45 landfills which pose
"serious problems," 400 dumps which
"most probably" received ground
water contamination, and 97 locations
where "enforcement action is or may
be needed to resolve a problem." The
list grows daily. Out of these possible
disaster areas it is only reasonable to
fear the possibility of more toxic
Ann Arbor is not exempt from this
chemical madness that has gone on for
the past 30 years. It is now known that
Trichloroethylene (TCE), a known car-
cinogenic, is running through the Ann -
Arbor water supply. Though the level of
TCE in our drinkingwater is within
EPA standards, "safe'' levels of TCE
are highly disputed.
What can be done by us all to end our
"chemicajinadness"? Demand greater'
attention, funding and control of toxic
waste management. Your state
legislator and Governor Milliken are
two important people to contact.
Federal funds are available if the
States request them. Urge them to take
strong actions now. In the meantime,
be careful what you drink.

A newface in Mideast:
But the same problems

PERHAPS A CHANGE of characters
will brighten the painfully slow
talks regarding eventual self-
determination for the Palestinians
living in the West Bank and the Gaza
Strip. Maybe a new face in those
discussions can transform them from
its snail-like pace to speedy success in
guaranteeing future autonomy to the
frustrated Palestinians in search of
freedom. Maybe.
The new member of the autonomy
talks who arrived in Cairo yesterday is
no newcomer to the profession of
diplomacy. Sol Linowitz is a skillful,
astute statesman, who championed the
Carter administration's case during
the 1977 Panama Canal Treaty talks.
During that fierce battle, he survived
against the tough-nosed Panamanians,
and led the administration brilliantly
against the conservative forces in the

ties would aim to establish self-
autonomous governing councils for the
Palestinians in the occupied
terrorities. Those discussions,
however, which began in May, have
produced nothing. It even took a few
tricks to get both sides to agree on an
agenda for discussions.
Even when administration shar-
pshooter Strauss grabbed further con-
trol of the process, only the at-
mosphere seemed to improve. Any
progress on the practical issues has
been noticeably absent. In effect, the
talks have been a failure.
Furthermore, the Israelis have
stressed throughout the negotiations
that they seek to deal with Palestinian
moderates in order to produce a
solution to the stalemate. But the
Begin regime must now realize that
recent events in the West Bank have
made the government's relations with
the Palestinians even weaker. Begin's

To the Daily:
Since, as a newspaper, it is
theoretically your responsibility
to inform the public of current
events, it would be pleasant to see
more information and less
rhetoric in the current nuclear
power debate.-
Concerning your policy on the
presentation of said information:
Since one generally seeks advice
on dental matters from a dentist,
and legal advice from a lawyer,
does it not seem logical to seek
advice on nuclear physics from a
physicist, and not an actress such
as Jane Fonda? Such "experts"
in the anti-nuclear movement are
almost completely ignorant of
matters scientific. They seem to
acknowledge only those facts
which would further their cause,
while ignoring those which show
that nuclear power is both
beneficial and safe.
Most, if not all, of the editorials
published in your paper seem to
follow this pattern. The articles
are full of opinions, rumors, and
heresay, with few or no scientific
arguments or facts. A technical,
scientific issue such as nuclear
energy cannot be decided by such
means as these. Reason is called
for, not emotion, .for a person to
be qualified to write intelligently
about nuclear energy, one would
need a good working knowledge
of physics and engineering, not
drama and literature. The
technical knowledge conveyed by
these articles is nothing short of

argument against nuclear power
generation is thermal pollution.

ts released by a coal boiler.
Among thses waste gases,
present in significant quantities,
are a class of organic compounds
known as Poly-Nucleated
Aromatic Hydrocarbons
(PNAH's). These compounds are
the most powerful carcinogens,
known to man, and they are
released into the environment
around the clock without a second
Another issue hopelessly
distorted is waste disposal.
"Wastes can never be disposed of
safely", cry the no-nukies. This
must be a shock to the scientists,
and engineers who have come up
with at least a half-dozen per-
manent, completely safe
methods for waste disposal. The
only reason these methods have
not been implemented yet is that
they are being held up in
congress and in the NRC by a
bunch of politicians and
congressmen who don't under-
stand them anyway. It makes one
wonder where these people get
their informaion on nuclear
energy: from Scientific
American or Playboy?
Although the possible (if
unlikely) environmental effects
of nuclear power plants have
been exaggerated, over-
emphasized, and in general
blown all out of proportion, we
hear little in these articles of the
environmental effects of the

alternatives. To wit: there stands
today, in the Gulf of Mexico, an
oil well that is uncontrollably
gushing oil into.the waters of the
Gulf, fouling them and ruining
the ecology of the region. There is
no estimating the terrible toll of
wildlife this well will take. Even
if a reactor were to melt down on
the shores of the Gulf, it would
not cause this much damage..
The coast of Brittany, France
has been ravaged by massive oil
spills from tankers twice in the
last 10 years. For all intents and
purposes, there is no longer an
ecological system operating off
the coast of Brittany. Yet we hear
nothing of these real-life
--disasters in the. anti-nuclear
literature. We hear wild
speculation on distorted eviden-
ce, when the fact is no com-
merical nuclear power plant,
anywhere in the free world, has
been responsible for a death or
destruction of property. All the
problems at Three Mile Island
were confined within the con-
tainment dome, which is what it
is there for. The release of
radiation, so often quoted in
reports in the press as 'massive"
or some such hysteric adjective,
was actually negligible. Had the
evacuated women and childrent
spent their time far away from
Harrisburg, in Denver, Colorado,
they would have been exposed to
considerably more radiation
from the natural background
radiation of Denver than they
would have been exposed to ih

Where are the facts? Where are,.
the logical arguments? All we
ever hear from these people is
emotional rhetoric and fanatical
arguments. Nuclear energy is not
a moral issue, it is a scientific
and technical one. The question is
not, "Should we build more plan-
ts?", but -rather, "How and .
Where?". For we need nuclear-
power. You can't debate away
the crisis in Iran; or bury the
Energy Crisis under a flurry of
slogans. Solar power cannot sup-
ply our nation's electricity. The'-
methods of energy collection are
simply not efficient enough, even
if it isn't cloudy at the time. Solar
energy is but a small part of the
total solution. Nuclear energy is a
much larger part. We cannot
neglect a field that shows such
promise as nuclear energy. The
old slogans about cheap,. clean
energy are still viable. They have
just been buried under the
monumental amount of anti-
nuclear rhetoric. Granted, there
are some areas in which im-
provements are necessary, but
surely this is no reason to quit. It.
is the nature of humans to
struggle, to succeed, not to shrug
our collective shoulders and slink
away. Were it not for this urge to
succeed, we would all still be
living in grass huts. And without
nuclear energy, we may soon find
ourselves back in our former

Looting Warded Items, posted on Tue Aug 24 12:52:59 2010

Taking a warded item from a corpse will now always trigger the ward, unless it is an item that you owned or a corpse you have been permitted to remove items from. The skillcheck for normal theft is unaffected.

Yesterday (2019) Review

Yesterday | Universal Pictures

Some films have a concept so unique that you can’t help but find yourself intrigued. Yesterday is that sort of film, taking a very simple idea and developing it well. The film centres around Himesh Patel, who while blacked out from being hit by a bus, misses a global event which wipes 60s Pop super-group The Beatles from existence. When he awakes, he is the only one who remembers and knows who they are. Also, he is a musician and a huge Beatles fan!

From here, writer Richard Curtis, from Four Weddings and a Funeral fame, develops a very interesting idea. Patel’s Jack now has the pantheon of The Beatle’s songs at his disposal and can use them, and claim them, as his own. This is no easy process though and the film cleverly explores how logistically difficult trying to claim another band’s back catalogue, from memory, would actually be. Its these small difficulties, like trying to remember the words to Eleanor Rigby, that pique the interest and then the film begins to snowball.

Yesterday now available On Demand!
Ed Sheeran is surprisingly impressive in the movie

Luckily, Himesh Patel is very likeable and although he is doing something hugely morally dubious, you are never against him. The events get away from him and it is when watching his star rise, almost against his own wishes, that the movie comes into its own. It treads some familiar ground when looking at the pull and pitfalls of stardom, from celebrity friends (with an impressive role for Ed Sheeran) through to the cliched LA obnoxious super-agent, played by Kate McKinnon. There is even the obligatory James Cordon cameo to contend with. The story is told very well though and the concept of Patel picking and choosing the right Beatles songs, while also trying his best to remember those just out of reach, keeps the movie fresh.

In fact, some of the best moments are when the film takes a moment to explore what impact no Beatles would have had on the world. A google search brings up some random omissions or passing comments in non-consequential conversations highlight another aspect of this new world which is missing. Its a shame that there isn’t more time in the movie to explore this area as well.

There is a “Curtis” love story included too

Instead, being a Richard Curtis movie, there is a love story to include as well. Lily James is the perfect leading lady for this movie, playing the “girl from home” that Patel is blind to until it is too late. Its a classic love story but told well and adds just enough of an extra layer of depth to be worth its inclusion.

The more infuriating aspect is the finale. With any high-concept, there are loop-holes and unanswered questions and it will annoy some that these questions are never answered. The ending is predictable and doesn’t feel like it does the rest of the movie justice. There are moments teased and built throughout the movie which feel like they are going somewhere, for example the idea that Patel’s Jack is not the only person who remembers The Beatles, which have unsatisfying resolutions.

Overall, Yesterday takes a very interesting concept and builds a well-told story around it. Himesh Patel is a solid leading man and plays the reluctant music star very well. He also sells the slightly bolted-on love story too. The film does a good job to explore this new world it creates and its impacts but not enough to justify the weak ending which will leave some unsatisfied.

Rating – 4

(1 – Awful, 2 – Average, 3 – Good, 4 – Great, 5! – Must See)

Patel holds the film together well

Django on TV - BBC Four 27th Jan

gypsyjazzergypsyjazzer Brewood, United KingdomNew
edited January 2006 in Europe Posts: 67
[b]Spread the word[/b] - there's a one hour TV documentary about Django Reinhardt on BBC Four this coming Friday, January 27th :-
[i]A look at the mania surrounding the music of Django Reinhardt, the Belgian-born, two-fingered Gypsy jazz guitar legend, whose fans, 50 years after his death, continue to celebrate his talent.[/i] [S]
[b]BBC Four, Fri 27 Jan, 21:00-22:00 60mins Stereo Widescreen[/b]
The listing in today's UK "Times Knowledge Magazine" says, "The mania that drives these fans forms part of the focus of what promises to be a 'frank, hilarious and revealing study' of the mysterious moustachioed Reinhardt, who was the most important jazz musician to be born in Europe, and who has been an influence on artists as varied as Julian Bream, Woody Allen and Black Sabbath."

If this a new film, and not just a repeat showing of the old, but excellent one featuring Ian Cruickshank, it should be pretty interesting.

Anyone know who's produced it?

    Don't get your hopes up...there was a lot of discussion when this aired in Canada a few months back, and the concensus was that it was a total mess, and goes out of its way to make the gypsy jazz crowd look like a bunch of monomaniacal nutjobs.

    Hi Jack,

    Yes, a similar view has been expressed in the UK (I originally put the post on the Django Swingpage Forum).

    I thought I'd not heard anything about this film before, but now you've mentioned it being shown in Canada, I seem to recall reading some posts about it. The general view being it wasn't much good, which is a shame as it would be good to see a new programme about Django, and a review of the current gypsy jazz scene.

    Thanks for the info.

    portraying GJ fans as monomaniacal nutjobs IS a review of the current scene :twisted:

Disneyland Paris News & Photo Report: July 19-25, 2021

Welcome back to our weekly Disneyland Paris News roundup! A less dramatic week but still plenty to discuss: the arrival of the Iron Man responsive screen, Health Pass, a new “Celebration” and more. Let’s go!

Avengers Campus in Overdrive

We lead with Avengers Campus this week and specifically the piece of metal above, first piece of the outer layer for the Iron Man Coaster “Responsive Screen”.

On this wider view you can see the size and scope of this incredible facade which will be the land’s “weenie”. It should be especially impressive at night! One question remains however: the shape. Will it no longer be round like the concept Art?

Only time will tell. Either way it looks very exciting.

Progress also continues at the Spider-Man show building with more brick and factory style theming.

But that’s not all! Paving has started on the land’s main thruway. We’re going for shades of grey it seems! Avengers Campus is slated for mid 2022 in Paris.

“Ultimate” Princess Celebration

The wait is over, we finally know what and when the Ultimate Princess Celebration is: from August 23-29 Guests will enjoy special appearances by Disney Princesses, Queen Anna and Elsa, snacks and surprises.

One week? One week. At least the snacks should be cute.

Health Pass

I dream of the day when I don’t have to cover these topics but hey, here we are. A Health Pass is required to enter the Parks since this past Wednesday. To qualify, you must present a European or French app with a valid vaccination imported in, a recent test (less than 48h) or proof of recovered natural infection.

If you’re from the UK, you can import your NHS vaccination by importing the barcode into the French app (see instructions HERE. There are reports that the NHS app or other proofs are possibly accepted but it’s always better to go for the easiest solution for the on site staff if you can.

Make sure to have ID and all your documentation ready before heading to the Resort.

Disney Premier Access moves in..

Here is is. The first Premier Access sign, seen at Autopia. No logo. No flourishes. But again that Autopia signage is probably not the most glamorous of the gang.

At Tower of Terror the FastPass displays that were removed and filled in were now painted. It’s like they never existed!

Finer details are also being erased like the painted FastPass lettering on this prop.

Signage is also gone at Flying Carpets and repainted at Star Tours.

But Indiana Jones seems to be forgotten. I guess it IS far.

Maintenance and Refurbishments

We start in Adventureland where the Pirates Beach playground has recently reopened. It’s been a while!

In Discoveryland the ATM is back near Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast.

And here’s the look at the state of the Orbitron refurbishment. The Attraction isn’t expected to return until towards the end of the year. It’s one of those glacial pace ones.

In Frontierland we had “stickers gate”. Fuente Del Oro is now officially a bar as evidenced by this school project.

The Sleeping Beauty Castle renovation is going well and we can see a bit of uncovered wall and small turret. It looks fantastic ! Hoping to see it in all its glory by Christmas.

Over at Walt Disney Studio we have the case of this Toy Story ice cream cart that was a welcome addition at the entrance to the Cars Road Trip area. It later moved near the Laugh n’ Go food truck despite being themed to…

Jessie. Sort it out !

In the Resort Hub, construction is picking up on the new semi-permanent (as in – they’re not fully fledged buildings) security gates. This is very exciting. And here’s what it should look like (I reckon this concept doesn’t have all the signage and theming):

Next door at the North (original) bus station, resurfacing is almost complete as the bus bay and awning renovations are almost complete:

Some lovely releases this week including this “it’s a small world” key above.

And this very nice Beauty and the Beast pin collection – they are open edition.

Baloo has replaced Clarice near Colonel Hathi’s. This is due to Clarice not having too many friends poor thing.

And a big thank you to all Disney Friends for some lovely interactions this week!

LNB Leaders Cup

The Disneyland Paris LNB Leaders Cup competition has been announced for February 18-20, 2022.

The mid-season basketball competition between the top 8 French teams narrowly happened in 2020 but was canceled this year. Good to see events being planned again!

Thanks for joining us again this week! I hope you’re having a good summer and get to visit the Resort soon-ish. See you next week for another dose of the latest news from Disneyland Paris!

Inherits: Reference < Object

Low-level hyper-text transfer protocol client.

Hyper-text transfer protocol client (sometimes called "User Agent"). Used to make HTTP requests to download web content, upload files and other data or to communicate with various services, among other use cases. See the :ref:`HTTPRequest<class_HTTPRequest>` node for a higher-level alternative.

Note: This client only needs to connect to a host once (see connect_to_host) to send multiple requests. Because of this, methods that take URLs usually take just the part after the host instead of the full URL, as the client is already connected to a host. See request for a full example and to get started.

A HTTPClient should be reused between multiple requests or to connect to different hosts instead of creating one client per request. Supports SSL and SSL server certificate verification. HTTP status codes in the 2xx range indicate success, 3xx redirection (i.e. "try again, but over here"), 4xx something was wrong with the request, and 5xx something went wrong on the server's side.

For more information on HTTP, see (or read RFC 2616 to get it straight from the source:

Note: When performing HTTP requests from a project exported to HTML5, keep in mind the remote server may not allow requests from foreign origins due to CORS. If you host the server in question, you should modify its backend to allow requests from foreign origins by adding the Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * HTTP header.

Note: SSL/TLS support is currently limited to TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and TLS 1.2. Attempting to connect to a TLS 1.3-only server will return an error.

enum Method:

  • METHOD_GET = 0 --- HTTP GET method. The GET method requests a representation of the specified resource. Requests using GET should only retrieve data.

  • METHOD_HEAD = 1 --- HTTP HEAD method. The HEAD method asks for a response identical to that of a GET request, but without the response body. This is useful to request metadata like HTTP headers or to check if a resource exists.

  • METHOD_POST = 2 --- HTTP POST method. The POST method is used to submit an entity to the specified resource, often causing a change in state or side effects on the server. This is often used for forms and submitting data or uploading files.

  • METHOD_PUT = 3 --- HTTP PUT method. The PUT method asks to replace all current representations of the target resource with the request payload. (You can think of POST as "create or update" and PUT as "update", although many services tend to not make a clear distinction or change their meaning).

  • METHOD_DELETE = 4 --- HTTP DELETE method. The DELETE method requests to delete the specified resource.

  • METHOD_OPTIONS = 5 --- HTTP OPTIONS method. The OPTIONS method asks for a description of the communication options for the target resource. Rarely used.

  • METHOD_TRACE = 6 --- HTTP TRACE method. The TRACE method performs a message loop-back test along the path to the target resource. Returns the entire HTTP request received in the response body. Rarely used.

  • METHOD_CONNECT = 7 --- HTTP CONNECT method. The CONNECT method establishes a tunnel to the server identified by the target resource. Rarely used.

  • METHOD_PATCH = 8 --- HTTP PATCH method. The PATCH method is used to apply partial modifications to a resource.

  • METHOD_MAX = 9 --- Represents the size of the Method enum.

enum Status:

  • STATUS_DISCONNECTED = 0 --- Status: Disconnected from the server.

  • STATUS_RESOLVING = 1 --- Status: Currently resolving the hostname for the given URL into an IP.

  • STATUS_CANT_RESOLVE = 2 --- Status: DNS failure: Can't resolve the hostname for the given URL.

  • STATUS_CONNECTING = 3 --- Status: Currently connecting to server.

  • STATUS_CANT_CONNECT = 4 --- Status: Can't connect to the server.

  • STATUS_CONNECTED = 5 --- Status: Connection established.

  • STATUS_REQUESTING = 6 --- Status: Currently sending request.

  • STATUS_BODY = 7 --- Status: HTTP body received.

  • STATUS_CONNECTION_ERROR = 8 --- Status: Error in HTTP connection.

  • STATUS_SSL_HANDSHAKE_ERROR = 9 --- Status: Error in SSL handshake.

enum ResponseCode:

  • RESPONSE_CONTINUE = 100 --- HTTP status code 100 Continue. Interim response that indicates everything so far is OK and that the client should continue with the request (or ignore this status if already finished).

  • RESPONSE_SWITCHING_PROTOCOLS = 101 --- HTTP status code 101 Switching Protocol. Sent in response to an Upgrade request header by the client. Indicates the protocol the server is switching to.

  • RESPONSE_PROCESSING = 102 --- HTTP status code 102 Processing (WebDAV). Indicates that the server has received and is processing the request, but no response is available yet.

  • RESPONSE_OK = 200 --- HTTP status code 200 OK. The request has succeeded. Default response for successful requests. Meaning varies depending on the request. GET: The resource has been fetched and is transmitted in the message body. HEAD: The entity headers are in the message body. POST: The resource describing the result of the action is transmitted in the message body. TRACE: The message body contains the request message as received by the server.

  • RESPONSE_CREATED = 201 --- HTTP status code 201 Created. The request has succeeded and a new resource has been created as a result of it. This is typically the response sent after a PUT request.

  • RESPONSE_ACCEPTED = 202 --- HTTP status code 202 Accepted. The request has been received but not yet acted upon. It is non-committal, meaning that there is no way in HTTP to later send an asynchronous response indicating the outcome of processing the request. It is intended for cases where another process or server handles the request, or for batch processing.

  • RESPONSE_NON_AUTHORITATIVE_INFORMATION = 203 --- HTTP status code 203 Non-Authoritative Information. This response code means returned meta-information set is not exact set as available from the origin server, but collected from a local or a third party copy. Except this condition, 200 OK response should be preferred instead of this response.

  • RESPONSE_NO_CONTENT = 204 --- HTTP status code 204 No Content. There is no content to send for this request, but the headers may be useful. The user-agent may update its cached headers for this resource with the new ones.

  • RESPONSE_RESET_CONTENT = 205 --- HTTP status code 205 Reset Content. The server has fulfilled the request and desires that the client resets the "document view" that caused the request to be sent to its original state as received from the origin server.

  • RESPONSE_PARTIAL_CONTENT = 206 --- HTTP status code 206 Partial Content. This response code is used because of a range header sent by the client to separate download into multiple streams.

  • RESPONSE_MULTI_STATUS = 207 --- HTTP status code 207 Multi-Status (WebDAV). A Multi-Status response conveys information about multiple resources in situations where multiple status codes might be appropriate.

  • RESPONSE_ALREADY_REPORTED = 208 --- HTTP status code 208 Already Reported (WebDAV). Used inside a DAV: propstat response element to avoid enumerating the internal members of multiple bindings to the same collection repeatedly.

  • RESPONSE_IM_USED = 226 --- HTTP status code 226 IM Used (WebDAV). The server has fulfilled a GET request for the resource, and the response is a representation of the result of one or more instance-manipulations applied to the current instance.

  • RESPONSE_MULTIPLE_CHOICES = 300 --- HTTP status code 300 Multiple Choice. The request has more than one possible responses and there is no standardized way to choose one of the responses. User-agent or user should choose one of them.

  • RESPONSE_MOVED_PERMANENTLY = 301 --- HTTP status code 301 Moved Permanently. Redirection. This response code means the URI of requested resource has been changed. The new URI is usually included in the response.

  • RESPONSE_FOUND = 302 --- HTTP status code 302 Found. Temporary redirection. This response code means the URI of requested resource has been changed temporarily. New changes in the URI might be made in the future. Therefore, this same URI should be used by the client in future requests.

  • RESPONSE_SEE_OTHER = 303 --- HTTP status code 303 See Other. The server is redirecting the user agent to a different resource, as indicated by a URI in the Location header field, which is intended to provide an indirect response to the original request.

  • RESPONSE_NOT_MODIFIED = 304 --- HTTP status code 304 Not Modified. A conditional GET or HEAD request has been received and would have resulted in a 200 OK response if it were not for the fact that the condition evaluated to false.

  • RESPONSE_USE_PROXY = 305 --- HTTP status code 305 Use Proxy. Deprecated. Do not use.

  • RESPONSE_SWITCH_PROXY = 306 --- HTTP status code 306 Switch Proxy. Deprecated. Do not use.

  • RESPONSE_TEMPORARY_REDIRECT = 307 --- HTTP status code 307 Temporary Redirect. The target resource resides temporarily under a different URI and the user agent MUST NOT change the request method if it performs an automatic redirection to that URI.

  • RESPONSE_PERMANENT_REDIRECT = 308 --- HTTP status code 308 Permanent Redirect. The target resource has been assigned a new permanent URI and any future references to this resource ought to use one of the enclosed URIs.

  • RESPONSE_BAD_REQUEST = 400 --- HTTP status code 400 Bad Request. The request was invalid. The server cannot or will not process the request due to something that is perceived to be a client error (e.g., malformed request syntax, invalid request message framing, invalid request contents, or deceptive request routing).

  • RESPONSE_UNAUTHORIZED = 401 --- HTTP status code 401 Unauthorized. Credentials required. The request has not been applied because it lacks valid authentication credentials for the target resource.

  • RESPONSE_PAYMENT_REQUIRED = 402 --- HTTP status code 402 Payment Required. This response code is reserved for future use. Initial aim for creating this code was using it for digital payment systems, however this is not currently used.

  • RESPONSE_FORBIDDEN = 403 --- HTTP status code 403 Forbidden. The client does not have access rights to the content, i.e. they are unauthorized, so server is rejecting to give proper response. Unlike 401, the client's identity is known to the server.

  • RESPONSE_NOT_FOUND = 404 --- HTTP status code 404 Not Found. The server can not find requested resource. Either the URL is not recognized or the endpoint is valid but the resource itself does not exist. May also be sent instead of 403 to hide existence of a resource if the client is not authorized.

  • RESPONSE_METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED = 405 --- HTTP status code 405 Method Not Allowed. The request's HTTP method is known by the server but has been disabled and cannot be used. For example, an API may forbid DELETE-ing a resource. The two mandatory methods, GET and HEAD, must never be disabled and should not return this error code.

  • RESPONSE_NOT_ACCEPTABLE = 406 --- HTTP status code 406 Not Acceptable. The target resource does not have a current representation that would be acceptable to the user agent, according to the proactive negotiation header fields received in the request. Used when negotiation content.

  • RESPONSE_PROXY_AUTHENTICATION_REQUIRED = 407 --- HTTP status code 407 Proxy Authentication Required. Similar to 401 Unauthorized, but it indicates that the client needs to authenticate itself in order to use a proxy.

  • RESPONSE_REQUEST_TIMEOUT = 408 --- HTTP status code 408 Request Timeout. The server did not receive a complete request message within the time that it was prepared to wait.

  • RESPONSE_CONFLICT = 409 --- HTTP status code 409 Conflict. The request could not be completed due to a conflict with the current state of the target resource. This code is used in situations where the user might be able to resolve the conflict and resubmit the request.

  • RESPONSE_GONE = 410 --- HTTP status code 410 Gone. The target resource is no longer available at the origin server and this condition is likely permanent.

  • RESPONSE_LENGTH_REQUIRED = 411 --- HTTP status code 411 Length Required. The server refuses to accept the request without a defined Content-Length header.

  • RESPONSE_PRECONDITION_FAILED = 412 --- HTTP status code 412 Precondition Failed. One or more conditions given in the request header fields evaluated to false when tested on the server.

  • RESPONSE_REQUEST_ENTITY_TOO_LARGE = 413 --- HTTP status code 413 Entity Too Large. The server is refusing to process a request because the request payload is larger than the server is willing or able to process.

  • RESPONSE_REQUEST_URI_TOO_LONG = 414 --- HTTP status code 414 Request-URI Too Long. The server is refusing to service the request because the request-target is longer than the server is willing to interpret.

  • RESPONSE_UNSUPPORTED_MEDIA_TYPE = 415 --- HTTP status code 415 Unsupported Media Type. The origin server is refusing to service the request because the payload is in a format not supported by this method on the target resource.

  • RESPONSE_REQUESTED_RANGE_NOT_SATISFIABLE = 416 --- HTTP status code 416 Requested Range Not Satisfiable. None of the ranges in the request's Range header field overlap the current extent of the selected resource or the set of ranges requested has been rejected due to invalid ranges or an excessive request of small or overlapping ranges.

  • RESPONSE_EXPECTATION_FAILED = 417 --- HTTP status code 417 Expectation Failed. The expectation given in the request's Expect header field could not be met by at least one of the inbound servers.

  • RESPONSE_IM_A_TEAPOT = 418 --- HTTP status code 418 I'm A Teapot. Any attempt to brew coffee with a teapot should result in the error code "418 I'm a teapot". The resulting entity body MAY be short and stout.

  • RESPONSE_MISDIRECTED_REQUEST = 421 --- HTTP status code 421 Misdirected Request. The request was directed at a server that is not able to produce a response. This can be sent by a server that is not configured to produce responses for the combination of scheme and authority that are included in the request URI.

  • RESPONSE_UNPROCESSABLE_ENTITY = 422 --- HTTP status code 422 Unprocessable Entity (WebDAV). The server understands the content type of the request entity (hence a 415 Unsupported Media Type status code is inappropriate), and the syntax of the request entity is correct (thus a 400 Bad Request status code is inappropriate) but was unable to process the contained instructions.

  • RESPONSE_LOCKED = 423 --- HTTP status code 423 Locked (WebDAV). The source or destination resource of a method is locked.

  • RESPONSE_FAILED_DEPENDENCY = 424 --- HTTP status code 424 Failed Dependency (WebDAV). The method could not be performed on the resource because the requested action depended on another action and that action failed.

  • RESPONSE_UPGRADE_REQUIRED = 426 --- HTTP status code 426 Upgrade Required. The server refuses to perform the request using the current protocol but might be willing to do so after the client upgrades to a different protocol.

  • RESPONSE_PRECONDITION_REQUIRED = 428 --- HTTP status code 428 Precondition Required. The origin server requires the request to be conditional.

  • RESPONSE_TOO_MANY_REQUESTS = 429 --- HTTP status code 429 Too Many Requests. The user has sent too many requests in a given amount of time (see "rate limiting"). Back off and increase time between requests or try again later.

  • RESPONSE_REQUEST_HEADER_FIELDS_TOO_LARGE = 431 --- HTTP status code 431 Request Header Fields Too Large. The server is unwilling to process the request because its header fields are too large. The request MAY be resubmitted after reducing the size of the request header fields.

  • RESPONSE_UNAVAILABLE_FOR_LEGAL_REASONS = 451 --- HTTP status code 451 Response Unavailable For Legal Reasons. The server is denying access to the resource as a consequence of a legal demand.

  • RESPONSE_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR = 500 --- HTTP status code 500 Internal Server Error. The server encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from fulfilling the request.

  • RESPONSE_NOT_IMPLEMENTED = 501 --- HTTP status code 501 Not Implemented. The server does not support the functionality required to fulfill the request.

  • RESPONSE_BAD_GATEWAY = 502 --- HTTP status code 502 Bad Gateway. The server, while acting as a gateway or proxy, received an invalid response from an inbound server it accessed while attempting to fulfill the request. Usually returned by load balancers or proxies.

  • RESPONSE_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE = 503 --- HTTP status code 503 Service Unavailable. The server is currently unable to handle the request due to a temporary overload or scheduled maintenance, which will likely be alleviated after some delay. Try again later.

  • RESPONSE_GATEWAY_TIMEOUT = 504 --- HTTP status code 504 Gateway Timeout. The server, while acting as a gateway or proxy, did not receive a timely response from an upstream server it needed to access in order to complete the request. Usually returned by load balancers or proxies.

  • RESPONSE_HTTP_VERSION_NOT_SUPPORTED = 505 --- HTTP status code 505 HTTP Version Not Supported. The server does not support, or refuses to support, the major version of HTTP that was used in the request message.

  • RESPONSE_VARIANT_ALSO_NEGOTIATES = 506 --- HTTP status code 506 Variant Also Negotiates. The server has an internal configuration error: the chosen variant resource is configured to engage in transparent content negotiation itself, and is therefore not a proper end point in the negotiation process.

  • RESPONSE_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE = 507 --- HTTP status code 507 Insufficient Storage. The method could not be performed on the resource because the server is unable to store the representation needed to successfully complete the request.

  • RESPONSE_LOOP_DETECTED = 508 --- HTTP status code 508 Loop Detected. The server terminated an operation because it encountered an infinite loop while processing a request with "Depth: infinity". This status indicates that the entire operation failed.

  • RESPONSE_NOT_EXTENDED = 510 --- HTTP status code 510 Not Extended. The policy for accessing the resource has not been met in the request. The server should send back all the information necessary for the client to issue an extended request.

  • RESPONSE_NETWORK_AUTH_REQUIRED = 511 --- HTTP status code 511 Network Authentication Required. The client needs to authenticate to gain network access.

Property Descriptions

  • bool blocking_mode_enabled

If true, execution will block until all data is read from the response.

The connection to use for this client.

  • int read_chunk_size

The size of the buffer used and maximum bytes to read per iteration. See read_response_body_chunk.

Method Descriptions

  • void close ( )

Closes the current connection, allowing reuse of this HTTPClient.

Connects to a host. This needs to be done before any requests are sent.

The host should not have http:// prepended but will strip the protocol identifier if provided.

If no port is specified (or -1 is used), it is automatically set to 80 for HTTP and 443 for HTTPS (if use_ssl is enabled).

verify_host will check the SSL identity of the host if set to true.

  • int get_response_body_length ( ) const

Returns the response's body length.

Note: Some Web servers may not send a body length. In this case, the value returned will be -1. If using chunked transfer encoding, the body length will also be -1.

  • int get_response_code ( ) const

Returns the response's HTTP status code.

Returns the response headers.

  • Dictionary get_response_headers_as_dictionary ( )

Returns all response headers as a Dictionary of structure { "key": "value1; value2" } where the case-sensitivity of the keys and values is kept like the server delivers it. A value is a simple String, this string can have more than one value where "; " is used as separator.

    "content-length": 12,
    "Content-Type": "application/json; charset=UTF-8",

Returns a Status constant. Need to call poll in order to get status updates.

  • bool has_response ( ) const

If true, this HTTPClient has a response available.

  • bool is_response_chunked ( ) const

If true, this HTTPClient has a response that is chunked.

This needs to be called in order to have any request processed. Check results with get_status.

Generates a GET/POST application/x-www-form-urlencoded style query string from a provided dictionary, e.g.:

var fields = {"username": "user", "password": "pass"}
var query_string = http_client.query_string_from_dict(fields)
# Returns "username=user&password=pass"

Furthermore, if a key has a null value, only the key itself is added, without equal sign and value. If the value is an array, for each value in it a pair with the same key is added.

var fields = {"single": 123, "not_valued": null, "multiple": [22, 33, 44]}
var query_string = http_client.query_string_from_dict(fields)
# Returns "single=123&not_valued&multiple=22&multiple=33&multiple=44"

Reads one chunk from the response.

Sends a request to the connected host.

The URL parameter is usually just the part after the host, so for, it is /index.php. When sending requests to an HTTP proxy server, it should be an absolute URL. For METHOD_OPTIONS requests, * is also allowed. For METHOD_CONNECT requests, it should be the authority component (host:port).

Headers are HTTP request headers. For available HTTP methods, see Method.

To create a POST request with query strings to push to the server, do:

var fields = {"username" : "user", "password" : "pass"}
var query_string = http_client.query_string_from_dict(fields)
var headers = ["Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded", "Content-Length: " + str(query_string.length())]
var result = http_client.request(http_client.METHOD_POST, "/index.php", headers, query_string)

Note: The request_data parameter is ignored if method is METHOD_GET. This is because GET methods can't contain request data. As a workaround, you can pass request data as a query string in the URL. See String.http_escape for an example.

Sends a raw request to the connected host.

The URL parameter is usually just the part after the host, so for, it is /index.php. When sending requests to an HTTP proxy server, it should be an absolute URL. For METHOD_OPTIONS requests, * is also allowed. For METHOD_CONNECT requests, it should be the authority component (host:port).

Headers are HTTP request headers. For available HTTP methods, see Method.

Sends the body data raw, as a byte array and does not encode it in any way.

Distributing Data

A destination is a LiveRamp partner that can receive your data from LiveRamp. We have over four hundred destinations that we're already integrated with, and we're adding new destinations all the time. You can see a full list of destinations on the partners page on our website.

Data is distributed to these destinations by means of destination accounts. A destination account is a set of configurations that allow you to distribute data to a particular seat at a destination.

To use Connect to distribute your data to your desired destinations, you'll first need to activate the appropriate destination account (usually either a first-party data/Onboarding destination account or a Data Marketplace destination account) for each destination.

Once you've activated the necessary destination accounts, you're ready to distribute your data.

Make sure to take any platform-specific distribution information into account.

Contact your LiveRamp representative if you're interested in distributing data to a destination we don't currently have an integration with.

Once you've distributed your data, it typically takes 1-3 days for the data to arrive at the destination platform and another 1-3 days for stats to calculate and populate within Connect.

Developer Guide Release

Flashing AURIX
AURIX is intended for debugging and sanity checking purposes.
In this section, <top> refers to the guest VM’s root directory.
Identifying the AURIX Step Version
The platform is equipped with an updated version of the AURIX chip called Step B. Step B is not software compatible with the previous silicon Step A. Consequently, a different binary is used for Step A and Step B boards.
To ensure successful flashing with memtool, the AURIX Step version must be identified for your board.
To identify the AURIX step version for the board
1. From the AURIX console, execute the command:
If TC397 Step A is returned output, or if the returned output does not indicate a step version (may be due to an older version of the firmware) the AURIX chip version is Step A.
Proceed with these instructions to further identify the chip version.
If TC397 StepBB or TC397 Step BC is returned, the AURIX chip version is up-to-date with Version Step B.
Proceed with the instructions for Setting Up MemTool on the Windows Host.
2. In a system console, execute this command to launch the AURIX Update application that reads the AURIX firmware version.
nvidia@tegra-ubuntu:/usr/bin$ nv_aurix_update -get_fw_version
Examine the returned output to locate the chip revision. Matching the chip revision to the AURIX Step version is as follows:
Step A = Chip revision: 00
Step BB = Chip revision: 17
Step BC = Chip revision: 18
3. Locate the board label to identify your board revision number.
The board label is located on the underside of the platform board. For example, the E3550 board label is :
Notice that the label indicates E3550: 699-63550-001-502 A, RW0.
Revision 500 or 501 = AURIX Step A
Revision 502 or 503 = AURIX Step B
The AURIX Step A binaries are as follows:
Ensure the correct binary is flashed based on the AURIX Step Version. If the wrong binary is flashed, for example Step A binary into a Step B chip, AURIX does not boot and the AURIX updater does not function as expected.
To mitigate, use the memtool to re-flash with the correct hex file.
Upgrading the Firmware
The AURIX MCU firmware is programmed into the chip at the factory. However, the firmware can be upgraded in the field as new versions become available.
Consult the Release Notes to identify the AURIX MCU version provided with this release, as well as the firmware binaries.
Upgrading the AURIX MCU firmware requires a Windows host system to execute the MemTool flashing program utility.
Obtain the Infineon MemTool utility from Infineon at:
Identifying the COM Port
A Windows COM port is required to communicate with AURIX and to re-program the firmware.
To identify the COM port
1. Unplug all other serial USB devices from the Windows host system to simplify the identification of COM ports.
2. Connect a USB cable between the Windows system and the platform debug USB port.
3. Open the Device Manager Control Panel and expand the COM and LPT ports navigation tree.
A list of the COM ports is displayed. The list contains 16 USB Serial COM ports when the platform is connected.
4. Using a Windows terminal program, such as Putty, attempt to establish a connection to each of the COM ports.
The terminal configuration must use these settings:
115200 baud
8 bits
no parity
1 stop bit
no flow control
The AURIX MCU console is generally the fourth USB Serial COM port in the ports tree.
5. After connecting, press ENTER in the terminal window.
Once connected to the AURIX MCU console, a shell prompt is displayed.
6. After determining the correct COM port, disconnect the terminal.
Determining the Installed Version
Use these procedures to determine the installed AURIX. Upgrading the installed version of the AURIX MCU to the latest available version may be required.
To determine the installed AURIX MCU version
1. Use a Windows terminal program to connect to the AURIX MCU COM port as identified in Identifying the COM Port.
2. Power the platform OFF and ON, or type version in the AURIX MCU console.
The AURIX MCU console displays the AURIX software version.
Setting Up MemTool on the Windows Host
Use these procedures to setup Memtool.
To setup MemTool on the Windows host
1. Ensure the MemTool package is on the host system and execute the command:
2. Follow the instructions as prompted to complete the installation.
The MemTool requires the configuration file to connect the AURIX firmware. Consult the Creating the MCU Configuration File procedure to create the required file.
Creating the MCU Configuration File
The MemTool requires selecting or creating a default configuration file for the TriBoard with TC39x to connect the AURIX MCU firmware. If this is the first time running the MemTool, the default configuration file must be created. Otherwise, it can be selected from the list.
To create the MCU firmware configuration file
1. Ensure the MCU Programming Switch, on the platform harness, is set to the PRG position.
2. On the Windows system, run the MemTool executable available at:
<top>/Infineon/Memtool 4.7/IMTMemtool.exe
The MemTool dialog displays.
3. Select Target > Change to display an additional popup dialog window.
4. Select New, from the drop-down menu, select Use a default target configuration.
5. Select Tricore Aurix > Starter Kits (Bootstrap Loader).
6. Scroll down to select TriBoard with TC39x (BSL/ASC).
7. From the Select Target Configuration window Folder to browse field, browse to the path of the configuration file directory. Additionally, in the Files in folder field, select TriBoard with TC39x (BSL/ASC).
This MCU configuration file is required for UART flashing.
8. Click OK to create the selected file.
9. Navigate to Target > Change once again, and browse to select the folder where you saved the MCU configuration file.
10. Select TriBoard with TC39x (BSL/ASC) and click OK.
11. Navigate to Target > Setup and select the radio button to Remember device name (e.g., COM1).
12. In the Access Device drop-down, choose the COM port as identified in To Identify the COM Port and click OK.
13. Click Connect.
Upon connection, a Ready for Memtool command is displayed.
14. Click Open File and select the hex file to flash.
15. From the FLASH/OTP - Memory Device selector, ensure the Enable radio button is checked, then click the drop-down and select DF_UCBs.
16. To add the binary data to the tool and prepare it for flashing, click Select ALL, then Add Sel.
17. Click Program All and wait for the programming to finish.
Upon successfully flashing a popup window displays.
18. Click Exit.
19. Click Disconnect to disconnect the programmer from the device.
20. Set the MCU Programming Switch to the RUN position and power cycle the platform.
After flashing is complete, set the MCU Programming Switch to the RUN position to prevent AURIX from re-entering programming mode.
If you wish the verify the new AURIX firmware version, connect to the AURIX MCU console using a terminal program and enter the command version. Or, power cycle the platform to view the installed firmware version.
Flashing the AURIX UPDATE Firmware
The NVIDIA AURIX MCU UPDATE (NV) firmware is pre-flashed in the AURIX chip. However, if required, it can be flashed using the MemTool utility as described in Setting Up MemTool on the Windows Host.
When performing an upgrade, verify that the Xavier Jumper J44 is open.
Flashing AURIX on Xavier
The nv_aurix_check_fw script is provided to check the AURIX firmware version on boot and is available at
If the AURIX firmware is the latest version, a corresponding message is displayed at the console.
If the AURIX Main firmware version requires updating, the AURIX update command runs automatically and updates the firmware to the latest version.
The correct hex file for flashing is chosen from the root file system at:
Once the Main AURIX firmware is updated, the version of the Update firmware is checked and the Update firmware is flashed if a newer version is found.
To check the firmware version again from the SoC
Execute the command:
To update the AURIX firmware
1. Ensure both the Main (NV-IFW or AFW) AURIX firmware and the UPDATE(NV) firmware files are in the root filesystem.
2. Ensure the files follow the naming convention as follows:
The path to the AFW firmware and UPDATE firmware is:
NV indicates NVIDIA internal firmware.
AFW indicates AUTOSAR firmware from the vendors EB or Vector
<platform> is the board number, such as E3550.
<FW_Type> IFW / UPDATE / With3LSS.
<Board> StepA / StepB
<major> contains one numeric digit.
<minor> contains two numeric digits.
<revision> contains two numeric digits.
<snapshot> contains two numeric digits.
Items in brackets [ ] are optional.
Version numbers with 1.x.x indicate internal firmware, 3.x.x indicate the AFW from vendor EB, and 4.x.x is the AFW from vendor Vector.
3. Update the firmware by executing the command:
sudo /bin/bash /etc/systemd/scripts/nv_aurix_check_fw.sh -auto_update
Where the path to the EB firmware and UPDATE firmware is as follows:
Updating the firmware includes:
Comparing the firmware version between the flashed version and the one on the root filesystem.
Updating the firmware if a higher firmware version is in the root filesystem.
Resetting the platform.
4. When the platform boots again, re-run the command to reset it a second time.
After two resets, the AURIX MAIN firmware is updated.
5. Re-run the command again to update the UPDATE firmware.
The AURIX flashing program/erase cycle is 1000. To avoid wear on the AURIX flash components, flash the firmware only when necessary.
The flashing of AURIX MAIN and UPDATE firmware requires a maximum of two SoC resets, and three invocations of the nv_aurix_update application.
6. B-Step boards support only the Vector AFW (Versions 4.x.x) and NV internal firmware (version 1.x.x). When the Vector AFW hex file is not packaged in the /lib/firmware folder, the auto update script chooses NV internal FW as an alternative.
7. A-Step boards support the Vector AFW, EB AFW, and NV internal firmware. When the Vector AFW hex file is not packaged in the /lib/firmware folder, the auto update script choses EB AUTOSAR firmware as an alternative.

Setting Up a Subdomain For Zippy Courses

When you're setting up Zippy Courses, you have to decide where you want to install the Zippy Courses plugin. If you already have a WordPress site, you may be tempted to install the plugin on your existing website or blog. However, we recommend against that for a few reasons.

  1. Keeping interests separate: Your main website should be designed to build your audience and convert existing readers into customers. A site designed to sell your course has different needs in terms of design and structure, and you want both sites to do their jobs as well as possible.
  2. Theme Limitations: In WordPress, you can only have one theme installed per WordPress site. That means that, if you have a theme you like on your main domain already, you can't use our Zippy Courses theme on the same website. If you like your current theme, this may not be an issue, but if you ever decide your courses site should have a different theme, you won't be able to change your theme.
  3. Plugin Conflicts: You may have a few (or even dozens) of plugins on your existing site already, including plugins for things like caching, eCommerce, email list subscriptions, or other custom tweaks and modifications. While most plugins won't interfere with Zippy Courses, there are instances where running other plugins alongside Zippy Courses causes unexpected issues. For example, if you install WooCommerce on your site, and set up special pages for your WooCommerce products, this can adversely affect the Zippy Courses products in the same site.

With all of that in mind, based on our experience with a variety of different sites and web hosts, we recommend installing Zippy Courses on its own website. That way, you can leave your existing site as-is, and keep your courses site 100% dedicated to serving your courses.

If you don't want to create an entirely new domain, you can create what's called a subdomain, which is a site that lives on the same domain name as your main site, but sits on a standalone subdomain. So if your main site was, your courses subdomain would be That subdomain will have its own installed version of WordPress, meaning it can use its own theme, plugins, and other settings.

Setting up a Subdomain

Setting up a subdomain is free for most web hosts. You can use the existing hosting that you're already using for your main domain, and create a subdomain that uses its own version of WordPress.

Here are some guides from popular web hosts on creating a subdomain:

Once you create a subdomain, you can install a fresh version of WordPress, and keep your Zippy Courses site completely independent of your current website.

Dodgers 2015/2016 IFA class has been trade fodder

Working off this tweet from @futuredodgers

None of those players have seen any major league time yet, and only Omar Estevez looks like someone who might see time with the Dodgers but I’d bet on him also being traded by this time next year.

Let’s take a look at that class in detail.

Yadier Alvarez – still in the organization, has gone from the number one pitching prospect to a relief pitcher with control issues with the ball in his hand, and in the dugout. Still, his stuff alone keeps him in the prospect world, and MLB Pipeline has him at 11 now.

Yusniel Diaz – the major piece in the Machado deal. Manny had a fractured time with the Dodgers and ultimately failed bigly in the postseason. Diaz is now ranked as the 52nd top prospect in baseball for the Orioles.

Omar Estevez – one of the few minor league players who has played two full season of A+ ball before the age of 21. He’s not climbing the ladder but at least he’s not falling down the ladder either. His repeat season was good, not great, but he was actually still young for the league even though he was a repeater. Might have a major league career, not very high on prospect lists.

Starling Heredia – the man with all the tools but evidently can’t hit. Looking more like James Baldwin than anything close to a major league baseball player.

Yordan Alvarez – traded for Josh Fields before he ever played for the Dodgers. Was moving up the Houston prospect list and is currently ranked as the 42nd best prospect in baseball.

Ronny Brito – just traded for Russell Martin. He was ranked as the Dodgers 23rd top prospect by MLB Pipeline.

Oneil Cruz – traded to the Pirates in 2017 for Tony Watson. Cruz made huge strides last year and is now the Pirates 4th best prospect according to MLB Pipeline.

Christopher Arias – oops, he was released.

Carlos Rincon – still in the Dodger organization. Carlos may simply hate cold weather or love California. He struggled mightily for the Great Lake Loons, but once he was promoted to Rancho, he exploded with a 1.245 OPS in 110 at-bats.
