#that means that - by default - any AUs I make need to have an extra layer of soft to them

[petrichorparacosm]

The new show must have stirred my inner 12-year-old, because here I am, a full grown woman posting Percy Jackson AU Ideas. Time is a flat circle and all that.

Let’s call this AU the PJO Patrons AU. Basically, the idea is that, when Zeus decreed that the gods couldn’t directly interfere in the lives of their mortal children but COULD still interfere somewhat in the lives of OTHER demigods, a version of the Olympians who were slightly better parents might decide that the best way to make sure someone was looking out for their spawn would be to trade, so to speak.

By ‘trade’ I mean that any Olympian demigod would be automatically taken under the patronage of whichever other Olympian their parent had made a deal with.

The big three (due to the “no kids” rule), Hera, Hestia and Artemis obviously have no need for such a bargain, but the others? Oh boy. Prepare for chaos.

Athena & Hermes

Listen. Athena and Hermes were the two gods who would most often appear randomly to help demigods that weren’t theirs, so it makes sense for the unclaimed to be under their conjunctive supervision. Also, please picture Athena giving Luke extra attention (as far as she gives ANYONE attention) and vice versa for Hermes and Annabeth, out of guilt. And then the fallout of Luke’s betrayal being twice as impactful…

(… not to mention, trickster + strategist yields some scary competent demigods…)

Aphrodite & Ares

This is more of a stepparent situation. Ares making Chiron make Drew Tanaka and Co. run an obstacle course while Aphrodite keeps blessing her lover’s children with pretty clothes that they absolutely do not want and mourning Silena with Clarisse.

Dionysus & Demeter

They have overlapping domains, don’t have bad blood, and can be characterized as caring but inconsistent parents, albeit for very different reasons. Castor and Pollux are kind of getting spoiled here, since they DO get to see their father around.

Aunty Artemis

As previously stated, Artemis has no demigod children and takes care of her hunters personally. Mythologically and canonically-to-the-Riordanverse, Apollo is one of the more caring Olympian’s when it comes to his kids, and takes pride in endowing them with whatever skills they take to under his domain. Since he can’t, who better than his beloved twin to show up once in a blue moon and give his children some pointers?

Hephaestus & Hera

We all know Hera is big on family. Hephaestus is sort of the “ugly red headed stepchild” of the Olympians, but he IS also one of Hera’s only children. She would TOTALLY accept his kids under her domain. Also, it would add some neat layers to the Juno- Leo situation…

Yeah Zeus is salty about this and means that Hephaestus kids are even more terrifying to tick off.

On the note of big three kids, Thalia would obviously end up with Artemis as a hunter, as would Bianca. Percy and Nico would technically be under Athena’s patronage while unclaimed, then be patronless once claimed (just can’t win, huh boys?) but honestly I could see various gods seeing one of them and going “oh, mine now” down the road.

For Nico, maybe Persephone, out of love for Hades and sympathy for her stepson? I could also see Eros claiming patronage that Nico would refuse to awknowledge.

For Percy, maybe Hermes, as a favor to Annabeth and commemoration to Luke?

BONUS: a demigod (such as Meg) can be claimed by a non- default patron (such as Apollo) and also this system of patronage makes Zeus’ non- interference decree super backfire bc this level of involvement is NOT what he wanted.

I think the objectively funniest version of Ingo getting lost and returned through time is if the entire event takes place over, like, 30 minutes from Emmet's perspective. So Ingo just goes out to get milk one night and stumbles back in half an hour later, haggard, with a beard, pretty jacked by modern Unova standards, looking like a man who was dragged backwards though a hedge for five years.

And Emmet tries to joke that they didn't need milk badly enough for Ingo to track down a Bouffalant and milk it-- and I think that's where Ingo just tackles Emmet and all of the emotions happen.

(Punchline: Ingo did, in fact, bring back milk. Milk fresh from Hisui, before they invented pasteurization. He won't say what pokemon he got it from. It's delicious)

It is a pretty funny version of events! Unfortunately for me, I tend to take crack ideas and think about them way too much, and sometimes it makes them less funny in the process. And this concept is one of them. Like... yeah, it's funny in the moment, but it would also lead to some real difficulties for the twins as they try and cope with what happened.

So I prefer the idea that about the same amount of time has passed for both twins, and that, while he did have a rather toxic spiral at first, by the time Ingo returns Emmet actually has himself and his life pretty well in hand. He's had the support of his friends and fellow Battle Station workers, he took some time off from the Battle Station to go somewhere he's never been before (I'm gonna say the Kanto region), so he could have some space where he wasn't constantly surrounded by memories and reminders, got some therapy, he's doing well.

He's never given up on finding Ingo, he's kept an eye on any new leads that pop up and followed them as best he can, but I think, early on, Elesa hit him with, "If it was you who went missing, and you came back, and Ingo was in the state you're currently in... how would that make you feel?" And it became a thing of, "I am Emmet, I will take care of myself so that Ingo will not have to worry about me." He gets some new pokemon, same as Ingo does in Hisui, though for Emmet he tends to mix and match the new ones he has with the old ones. He uses his desire to find Ingo to create positive patterns as well as negative ones, and the positive ones slowly begin to outweigh the negative ones as time goes on.

Naturally he is something of a mess when Ingo returns, because there's still plenty of fear and pain lurking around in there, but he's overall in a good space, meaning that having to help Ingo readjust to the modern day while also manning the Battle Subway doesn't run him ragged.

But also I really like the idea of the milk, so for the Melli in Unova AU, I'm gonna say that's absolutely part of it - Ingo happened to have just purchased milk when he and Melli got sent back. And, after Ingo and Emmet have sufficiently fussed, hugged, and cried on each other, Ingo looks Emment dead in the eye and goes, "Also, I got the milk." Then, a moment later, "However I do not believe I should let you drink it - it is unpasteurized and could make you very ill, as you are unaccustomed to it."

Emmet stares, then laughs, then proceeds to tell everyone who will listen this story for the rest of their lives.

Thanks for the ask!

Find Work Exchange Opportunities Abroad

Volunteering has long been a way for thrifty travelers to experience new cultures while helping to make the world a better place.

The challenge has always been how to find organizations you can trust.

Enter Worldpackers, a platform that connects travelers with vetted volunteer opportunities in more than 140 countries.

In this Worldpackers review, we’ll take a closer look at what the service has to offer and how you, too, can find work exchange opportunities abroad.

Discount Offer

But first, if you’re familiar with Worldpackers and ready to find volunteer work, you can save $10 on an annual membership (starting at $49) by clicking the button below.

The membership fee does *not* auto-renew by default. So you can pay now and not worry about getting charged again if you choose not to continue.

Membership fees support the administrative costs of running a platform that makes it easy for travelers to find volunteer jobs.

If you haven’t heard about Worldpackers yet, continue reading to learn more.

About Worldpackers

Worldpackers is a collaborative community that connects travelers with volunteer opportunities around the world.

Trade your skills, time, and energy for a place to stay and possibly more, including meals and local activities.

It’s a chance to give back to local communities, whether it’s a destination you have an affinity for from a previous visit or are there for the first time.

Top destinations include:

United States

Mexico

Costa Rica

Brazil

Thailand

Spain

Italy

These also happen to be some of the most popular backpacking destinations too.

You can make a volunteer experience the primacy focus of a trip or incorporate it into a long journey to one or more of these countries.

Worldpackers was founded by two friends, Riq Lima and Eric Faria. Riq left an investment banking career to travel the world for four years.

Eric, an accountant, moved to the USA to learn English and ended up working at a hostel in San Diego (excellent choice!) before helping to found “International Travellers House, a hostel chain located in California and whose staff was made up entirely of volunteers.”

They both lived a life of travel before they began Worldpackers and saw a need for an online platform to connect travelers with volunteer and work opportunities safely.

How it Works

Sign-Up Process

Signing up on the Worldpackers website is free and easy. It’ll allow you to get familiar with how it works and to begin scoping out potential opportunities.

To register for free, click the “Join Community” button on the home page and choose to sign up with your email address or Facebook account.

When using email, you’ll also be asked for your name, gender (he, she, neutral), and date of birth.

You’ll have the chance to opt-in (or out) of receiving host recommendations, “travel tips, inspiring stories, and upcoming opportunities.”

The next screen asks for your nationality and current location (city, country), information that’s used to help connect you with potential hosts.

Search

Then it’s on to define, in broad terms, what kind of experience you’d prefer.

There are three types of trips:

Work Exchanges, where you trade your skills/expertise for free accommodation.

Social Impact, working with non-governmental organizations (NGOs), schools, and social programs.

Eco Program, where you may live on a farm or participate in agricultural projects.

Then, choose your travel interests, such as professional or personal development, solo or couples travel, English or Spanish practice, backpacking, or digital nomadism.

Now the fun part, which part of the world do you want to explore?

Pick a region that inspires you to want to get up and go! South America has the most experience, followed by Europe and Asia.

And lastly, choose the ways you can help out, which include (but are not limited to):

Welcoming and helping guests (think hostel reception).

Building and hands-on chores.

Communications and marketing.

Eco-activities.

You’ll then be shown opportunities that take your preferences into account.

Search results page

Results

The search results page has two columns. On the left, there are options to refine your search, including preferred timeframe and skills.

On the right, there are snippets of the work exchange and volunteer opportunities.

An effort was made to make the website easy to use and navigate. Information is easy to find and read. It’s well laid out and not too busy.

I saw many opportunities, including a homestay helping with dogs and a family (think au pair), farm stays, working at a children’s refuge in Mexico, and hostel jobs.

The opportunities to volunteer and work abroad in exchange for free accommodation are seemingly endless.

One of the best features of the Worldpackers platform is the ability to read reviews from people who previously volunteered at a place you’re considering.

Not only can you see their star ratings and written reviews about the experience, but you can also reach out and ask them questions directly!

Worldpackers vets their hosts; however, nothing can beat direct and private feedback from those who previously spent time with the hosts.

If you want to make sure your time is well spent, make the most of this option and ask any specific questions.

Just make sure the answers aren’t already available to you on the listing or in the written reviews. Nobody wants to feel like their time is being wasted.

Is WorldPackers Safe?

This is all well and good, but you may be wondering if Worldpackers is safe?

How can you trust that you won’t be taken advantage of, or worse, harmed?

These are important questions, especially for women. And the founders know it.

That’s why they’ve put into place a layered approach to ensuring the safety of volunteers. The Travel Safely page on the Worldpackers website outlines their safeguards.

Hosts are verified by WorldPackers before they can join the platform.

Formal agreements are signed by hosts and volunteers before a trip occurs. This contract spells out expectations and responsibilities to ensure both parties are on the same page before anyone goes anywhere.

Host and volunteers leave community reviews after each experience, as you see on Couchsurfing and Airbnb.

You can reach out to past volunteers for any given host to ask questions not answered in the profiles or public reviews.

If for any reason you need to leave your host unexpectedly, WP Insurance means Worldpackers will help you find a new one, or they’ll pay for three nights at a hostel in the same city.

Lastly, there’s this:

“Reports that compromise the physical, moral, and/or psychological integrity of hosts or travelers may lead to profile deactivation in order to keep our community safe for collaboration.”

— Worldpackers

When it comes to online communities, the potential loss of access to the platform and opportunities it affords is one of the best safeguards to ensuring people behave responsibly.

How much does it cost?

While you can search Worldpackers’ opportunities for free, you’ll need to join as a paying member to contact the hosts about potential stays.

The good news is it’s incredibly affordable. Ridiculously cheap, in my opinion.

Just think about how much you stand to save by getting hooked up with free accommodation in major cities worldwide (or farms, if you prefer nature).

$49 – Solo trips for one year

$59 – Couples / friends for one year

$99 – Pack (includes access to online courses for travel planning and becoming a digital nomad, a $78 value)

If you’re ready to sign up for Worldpackers, you can save $10 by clicking the button below.

The discount will automatically be applied to the membership of your choice.

And remember, you’ll only be charged for one year, so you have the option to decide whether to renew without automatically being billed again.

MySQL Query Attributes

Tweet Query attributes have in a long time been used to add metadata to queries to provide additional context such as where in the application the query was generated. The traditional way to do this is to add a comment at the start of the query with the attributes. Since the MySQL parser ignores the comment, it does not change the semantics of the query, but various tools can extract the comments. This post looks into the reasons for using query attributes, how it is done using a comment, and the new component for MySQL 8.0.23 that provides native support for query attributes. AdviceQuery attributes are also known as query tags. Why Query Attributes? At the surface, it may seem that there is no major benefit from having metadata attached to a query – after all it is ignored by MySQL. However, there are good reasons. The manual page on query attributes lists two uses: For a web application where the query much track the URL that generated it.For use in plugins such as the query rewrite plugin and an audit log plugin.In my opinion there are two even better reasons: aggregation of query statistics and for communication between teams. These two are related. For example, I work in a database team and when we encounter an incident, let's say high CPU, it is very convenient to be able to go into the monitoring solution and look at what kind query attributes were the most used during the incident. With the query attributes, it is easy to communicate the issue with the developers as they easily can see from the attribute values where in the code the queries were generated and which workflow they are part of. For small projects, this is not necessarily a big advantage, but for large projects that also abstracts the database layer, it is invaluable. Adding Attributes in a Comment It is very simple to add attributes in a comment. The exact syntax depends on the tool that parses the attributes, but common is that you add them using a comment with the syntax /* .... */ at the start of the statement, for example: /* src=get_city workflow=update_population */ SELECT id, Population FROM world.city WHERE CountryCode = 'AUS' AND Name = 'Sydney' AND District = 'New South Wales'; The query attributes are on a line by themselves here, but that is not required. In this case, you can see that the query was generated in the get_city function (the src attribute) and it was used as part of a workflow to update the population. This suggest that it is part of a multi-statement transaction, maybe the first step to get the primary key and current population of the city. A subsequent statement then updated the population. While using a comment to add the attributes is simple, it is also a hack that requires parsing the statement, and the attributes are not available inside MySQL Server. Also comments are stripped when the Performance Schema digest is created for the query. This for example means that if a monitoring solution needs to collect statistics aggregated by the query attributes, you need to capture the network traffic (or enable the events_statements_history_long and poll that table) and analyse that. Capturing the network traffic in turn prevents enabling SSL. So is there an alternative? Let us take a look at the new (as of 8.0.23) query attributes component. The Query Attributes Component In MySQL 8.0.23 you can enable native support for query attributes by installing the query attributes component. While this does have its advantages, there are also some limitations that I will go into. Installation You install the component by using the INSTALL COMPONENT statement: mysql> INSTALL COMPONENT "file://component_query_attributes"; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.0362 sec) This works the same on Windows, Linux, and macOS. InformationThe INSTALL COMPONENT statement is not yet supported by the X Protocol (port 33060 by default). To execute it, you must connect using the classic protocol (port 3306 by default). If you use MySQL Shell, you can for example use: mysqlsh --user=root --port=3306 --mysql --sql. If you decide to not use the component any longer, you can uninstall it again using the UNINSTALL COMPONENT statement like: mysql> UNINSTALL COMPONENT "file://component_query_attributes"; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.3016 sec) Using the Component At the time of writing there is little support for the component in MySQL's connectors. The C API implements it using the new mysql_bind_param() function. So, hopefully in the next few releases similar functionality will be implemented in MySQL Connector/Python, MySQL Connector/J, etc. Fortunately, you can try out the attributes without having to compile a C program. If you connect to MySQL using the traditional command-line client (mysql), you can set one or more attributes using the new query_attributes command. Additionally, the component adds the mysql_query_attribute_string() UDF function that you can use to retrieves the value of an attribute. InformationAt the time of writing, MySQL Shell does not support the query_attributes command. One important thing to be aware of is that all existing attributes for a connection are cleared each time a query is executed. This even applies if you just want to retrieve an attribute using the mysql_query_attribute_string() function. If you are looking at using the new attributes, I recommend you to review the limitations in the manual to get the up to date list. It is easier to understand how this works by looking at an example. Let's set the same two attributes as in the previous example and retrieve the values: mysql> query_attributes src get_city workflow update_population; mysql> SELECT mysql_query_attribute_string('src') AS src, mysql_query_attribute_string('workflow') AS Workflow; +----------+-------------------+ | src | Workflow | +----------+-------------------+ | get_city | update_population | +----------+-------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql> SELECT mysql_query_attribute_string('src') AS src, mysql_query_attribute_string('workflow') AS Workflow; +------+----------+ | src | Workflow | +------+----------+ | NULL | NULL | +------+----------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) Notice how the attributes are unset after the first query. This also happens if you execute a normal query: mysql> query_attributes src get_city workflow update_population; mysql> SELECT id, Population FROM world.city WHERE CountryCode = 'AUS' AND Name = 'Sydney' AND District = 'New South Wales'; +-----+------------+ | id | Population | +-----+------------+ | 130 | 3276207 | +-----+------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql> SELECT mysql_query_attribute_string('src') AS src, mysql_query_attribute_string('workflow') AS Workflow; +------+----------+ | src | Workflow | +------+----------+ | NULL | NULL | +------+----------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) This leads us to the limitations of the current implementation. Limitations There are several limitations that affect the usefulness of the query attributes component. Some important limitations that pops into my mind are: They cannot easily be used for monitoring (and communicated between database and developer teams) as there is currently no way to get aggregate data from the Performance Schema or to query attributes from another connection. You can in principle use a network sniffer but in that case, it is easier to just stick with the attributes in a comment. There is a feature request by Sveta Smirnova to expose the attributes through the Performance Schema.It requires an extra round trip between the application and server which will affect performance.There is currently very limited support in connectors including MySQL Shell.So in which case would you want to use the new attributes? They are primarily of interest if you use a plugin that can use them or if a query somehow benefits from knowing the value of its own query attributes. There is a workaround to persisting the attributes across multiple queries which as a side effect also exposes the attributes to another connection. It is a hack, but may be useful in some cases. Persisting Attributes I just claimed that the attributes are cleared as soon as you execute a query. Usually you do not want to have the same attributes for several queries, so that makes sense. However, should you need to keep them, you have two options: assign the values to user variables or insert into a table. (Of course, you can argue that in that case, you do not need the feature at all as you can construct the queries with the attribute values directly.) Let's look at assigning the values to user variables: mysql> query_attributes src get_city workflow update_population; mysql> SET @attr_src = mysql_query_attribute_string('src'), @attr_workflow = mysql_query_attribute_string('workflow'); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) mysql> SELECT @attr_src, @attr_workflow; +-----------+-------------------+ | @attr_src | @attr_workflow | +-----------+-------------------+ | get_city | update_population | +-----------+-------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) You can now get the values for as long as you need to. Since user variables are exposed in Performance Schema, you can also retrieve the values from another connection. First find the Performance Schema thread id of the connection with the attributes: mysql> SELECT PS_CURRENT_THREAD_ID(); +------------------------+ | PS_CURRENT_THREAD_ID() | +------------------------+ | 55 | +------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) Then query the user_variables_by_thread table from another connection: Connection 2> SELECT Variable_name, CONVERT(Variable_value, CHAR CHARACTER SET UTF8MB4 ) AS Value FROM performance_schema.user_variables_by_thread WHERE Thread_id = 55; +---------------+-------------------+ | Variable_name | Value | +---------------+-------------------+ | attr_src | get_city | | attr_workflow | update_population | +---------------+-------------------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec) Notice that you need to convert the value stored in the Performance Schema to UTF8. Otherwise, you will retrieve the value as a hex encoded value. But as said, you do not necessarily need query attributes to do this. Conclusion The new query attributes component in MySQL 8.0.23 looks promising, but it still has too many limitations to make it a practical alternative to query attributes in comments for most use cases. The feature is most useful when used together with plugins sucn as audit plugins and the query rewrite plugin. Hopefully, this is just a first step to a more flexible feature that can allow query statistics aggregated by attributes in your monitoring solution without the need to capture the network traffic.

The best free screen capture software 2018

New Post has been published on https://www.etechwire.com/the-best-free-screen-capture-software-2018/

The best free screen capture software 2018

There’s no need to use multiple programs to capture, edit and annotate screen grabs – this free screen capture software can do it all.

Snapping a screengrab is rarely as simple as just taking a picture of your desktop. There’s a reason behind every screenshot – whether it’s posterity, demonstration or preservation – which means each particular case needs something special.

That’s why we’ve selected our top five tools for doing more with your screenshots, like adding annotations and fancy adornments, using custom hotkeys, or even accurately capturing specific screen regions without the need to resort to additional software to get the job done. The days of hitting the Print Screen key and pasting your shots into Microsoft Paint are over.

How do I take screen captures on a Mac?

We’ve covered Windows apps almost exclusively here, but don’t feel left out if you’re using a different operating system. On macOS, there’s no need for a separate screenshot tool – you can do everything with keyboard shortcuts. [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[3] captures the whole screen, [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[4] captures a region, and there are many other edge cases described on Apple’s support pages.

Screenshot Captor is a real overachiever, with extra webcam and document-scanning tools, plus a host of editing options

1. Screenshot Captor

Screen capture software that does much more than the basics with webcam support, annotations and editing

Huge choice of capture options

Built-in editing tools

Highly customizable

Quirky interface

Screenshot Captor seems to have ideas a little above its station. Far from just being a screenshot app – and, rest easy, it does do that – it’ll grab images from your webcam, and it even includes a full suite of scanning tools to make sure your documents look their best.

But those advanced features don’t stop there. Ever wanted to capture the contents of a scrolling window? It’ll do that automatically, and even trim the margins for you. Need to capture a screen region of a fixed size? Piece of cake. Splicing areas out of screenshots, annotating, interfacing with advanced image editors, blurring areas you don’t want seen? It’s all here.

If there’s a downside, Screenshot Captor little esoteric in terms of its general interface, but the important bits are all well explained and easy to grasp. It’s donationware, so while it’s free to use, make sure you chip a little bit into the pot if Screenshot Captor is something you use regularly.

With SnapDraw Free, there’s no need for a separate image editor – it can annotate, crop and edit images captured from your screen or webcam in any way you see fit

2. SnapDraw Free

A screen capture tool with great post-processing effects

Excellent editing tools

Lots of capture options

FTP and email sharing

If you’re capturing screenshots for something that needs to be well presented – a user manual, perhaps – it pays to put in a little effort. Or at least you would if SnapDraw Free didn’t do absolutely everything for you: borders, backgrounds and even awesome-looking fading reflections are all available by simply clicking a check box. What’s more, you can dig down when it comes to capturing, taking shots of everything from multiple monitors at once all the way down to a single object within a window.

It’s not quite a fire-and-forget screenshot tool, but that’s not a negative. There are ton of annotation features, you can layer individually captured windows and elements on top of a single screenshot, and there are even 3D transformation tools available to give your shots some action.

Oh, and you can even automatically upload your images to an FTP server or email them. That’s a lot of features.

Gadwin PrintScreen is simple to use, and so convenient you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it

3. Gadwin PrintScreen

An install-and-ignore screenshot tool that’s easily extendable

Customizable export options

Simple controls

No editing tools

Gadwin PrintScreen is the screenshot app we regularly turn to here at TechRadar, and for good reason. It’s streamlined and extremely convenient, sitting quietly in the system tray until you need it.

When you do, it’s either bound to a hotkey of your choice – handy if you need the mouse cursor in shot – or accessible from a handy auto-hiding control panel that disappears when you fire off a screenshot, capture a window, or snip a rectangular area.

Annotation and image editing is sadly locked away in its paid-for Professional edition (US$24.95, about £18.94, AU$33.35), but Gadwin Printscreen doesn’t leave you entirely stranded; it can automatically add shadows or watermarks to your images, save them in a number of formats, resize them automatically, or run an image editor of your choice immediately after capture.

The latter ability means you can effectively extend its abilities – point it at Microsoft Paint for rudimentary sketching and cropping, or a more powerful free image editor if you wish.

PC gaming platform and marketplace Steam has its own screen capture tool that works with any game you’re playing

4. Steam

Capturing games – any games – made easy and free

Can capture non-Steam games

Works with hardware acceleration

Only for games

Don’t be too baffled. Yes, Steam is primarily a way of buying and downloading games. But it also applies its own overlay when you’re playing games, one which (among other things) allows you to take screenshots.
