![]() ![]() I respect that in people because it’s getting harder and harder to find. This world is a darker place without Gord Downie in it because he seemed, to me, to be someone who was genuine and true. Look at what he did for everyone…” And I stood there, trying to stop from crying even harder, knowing that it was seeing and hearing him speak in that documentary that set me off, just reminding me yet again of why I admire him so. The students shuffled out of the classroom at the end of the period, hesitant to leave, muttering phrases like “It’ll be all right, Miss. He had given of himself and his heart so openly throughout his life, and especially in a very public way in the last year or so of his life. I wept quietly at the back of a class of thirty sixteen year olds last week, poking at my eyes with a tissue, and then trying to explain why I was so moved. Whether it was the struggle for truth and reconciliation and raising awareness of Chanie Wenjak’s story, or helping to bring attention to the state of so many northern Indigenous communities where there is–truly–a sort of cultural apartheid that is still happening, or the health of Lake Ontario’s water (so that you could swim in it, drink its waters, and fish in it), or just the intense natural beauty of this nation of ours, he fought hard for things he believed in. I just keep thinking of how he believed in what he believed in so strongly. It’s a class that contains literature written by First Nations, Metis, and Inuit writers. ![]() I did finally weep, though, when I showed the CBC’s version of The Secret Path last week in my Grade 11 English class. It struck me so viscerally, though, to think that he was gone, that I felt physically ill. I didn’t weep when I heard he’d died this fall. I read that volume of his work voraciously, falling in love with a number of pieces that rippled with brilliant energy and imagery. My favourite poem of his is “Sailboat.” There are others, but I love the last few lines, when he writes that “the most you can do is / spend all your time / giving some of your time / meaning.” When Downie was named as an honorary member of the League of Canadian Poets this past spring, I thought, “Yes. When my second book of poems, braille on water, was released by Penumbra Press in 2001, I remember standing in a Chapters store somewhere in Ontario, my mouth open in shock because my first book of poems with a spine was right up against Gord Downie’s new collection of poems, Coke Machine Glow. I’ve always been a fan of The Tragically Hip, but I’ve been an even greater fan of Gord Downie’s poetry for nearly as long. If you were to tell me I couldn’t go canoeing in Killarney, and swim into what feels like a living Group of Seven painting, well, I’d weep again, and likely lash out somehow. If you were to tell me I couldn’t hike at Point Pelee National Park at least a couple of times a year, I’d probably weep. ![]() I’ve even written a series of Great Lakes poems which are in my newest book, Some Other Sky, and I’m more than in love with these lakes because I’ve gone swimming, canoeing, and hiking along their shores this summer. Each one has its own spirit, personality, and vibrancy. In the last year, I’ve discovered my own great and passionate love for some of the Great Lakes, mostly Huron and Erie. I had admired his advocacy on water rights and health for a number of years. ![]() I emailed it off to Lake Ontario Waterkeeper, where I knew he was a board member, and they said they passed it on to him. I don’t normally write letters to people who are ‘famous,’ but I did write one to him earlier this year. So far, I haven’t written anything about the loss of Gord Downie…and make no mistake…that’s what it is: a significant loss for this country of Canada, but an even greater one for those who love his poetry. ![]()

Implement username and password authentication to have an Auth0 DB or your own DB connected to store authentication information. Use add-ons to generate access tokens for systems such as Salesforce, Azure Service Bus and SAP.Ĭonfigure social connections for authentication. Optional ConfigurationĪdditionally, Auth0 provides many features for building advanced authentication mechanisms, and it can determine how data is stored and passed to applications. You are now done with the basic setup! Users can now create accounts, or log in using their credentials from the providers that you enabled in the previous step. Go to Connections > Social and enable the social logins that you want to use (these links are located in left sidebar of the Auth0 Dashboard) Proceed to the next step and select PHP for "What technology are you using for your web app?" You can also add local URLs.Īdd to the Allowed Origins (CORS) section to allow the origins that will be able to make requests.

Note that it’s very important that the callback you use in this configuration is HTTPS. Here is the basic configuration to get started with Auth0 for Drupal. In the future, this will save users the extra step of choosing a module. These patches were recently merged there is some collaboration underway to sync changes between the two repositories. The generic patches that resulted from this process were submitted to both repositories. In fact, both modules contained errors that we needed to fix. We therefore opted for cleaner code over the additional features. Only some basic features were required, all of which were available in the module. When we integrated Auth0 on a client’s site a few months ago, we spent a good amount of time analyzing these two modules. It follows coding standards, but lacks some functionality, as many changes have not been merged from the aforementioned GitHub repository. It has more features but doesn't follow all of Drupal coding standards.Īuth0 module on is a fork of the official module on. There are two Auth0 modules you can choose from:Īuth0 module on GitHub: is the official module.

In the steps below, you’ll learn how to set up Auth0 on a Drupal site for a typical use case. To integrate social logins such as Google and Facebook To allow users to log into Drupal using existing credentials from systems such as LDAP, Google Suite, or Office 365 Here are some of the ways you can integrate Auth0 with DrupalĪs a single sign-on across multiple Drupal apps, where Auth0 acts as a central store for credentials It also implements other standards that can be used for authentication, including SAML and OpenID Connect. The authentication mechanism is device-agnostic, so it works consistently across various devices.Īuth0 implements OAuth 2.0 - an open standard for authentication that can be used between applications and websites. ![]() ![]() It can also connect on-premise identity databases. It includes various methods to authenticate, such as username/password, social accounts, SAML and OTP. In this article, we’ll introduce Auth0 and explain how to use it to create a cool, centralized login page like the one shown below.Īuth0 provides authentication and authorization as a service. There are several ways of enabling single sign-on and social logins on Drupal websites. Introducing Auth0: authentication and authorization as a service In these scenarios, the built-in Drupal authentication system is very limited. Users expect websites to provide social login and single sign on functionality. These days, social sites have become de facto identity providers. But when users are signing into multiple interactive sites and apps, it makes sense to offer a centralized authentication system to save users from remembering multiple passwords. Using Auth0 to create a centralized login page for Drupal sitesĭrupal’s basic user authentication system is ideal for small and isolated apps. ![]() ![]() ![]() Blizzard also added a "Leeroy Jenkins" card to their popular online card game Hearthstone. In the 2014 Warlords of Draenor expansion, Leeroy appears as a non-player character. In 2008, Blizzard added an achievement to World of Warcraft called "Leeeeeeeeeeeeeroy!", which awards the title of "Jenkins" to players who kill 50 of the rookery whelps from the video within 15 seconds. IGN placed Jenkins 10th on their 2017 list of best Blizzard characters, noting that he represents the crossing of a line which typically separates a game's content and its community. Robert M Chamberlain links Jenkins to the American approach to advising the indigenous armed forces in Iraq. In a 2009 article in the Armed Forces Journal titled "Let's Do This!: Leeroy Jenkins and the American Way of Advising," Capt. They added that they felt Leeroy is the hero acting against the geekiness of his guild. The article took the position that the video was designed as a negative commentary on the kind of "nerd-guilds" whose members fastidiously plan raids with all the seriousness of actual military tacticians. The May 2005 issue of PC Gamer UK featured an article on the video, titled "The Ballad of Leeroy Jenkins". Upper Deck Entertainment released a World of Warcraft Miniatures game in fall 2008, which included a Leeroy Jenkins figurine. A "Leeroy Jenkins" Legendary card was later released in Blizzard's online card game Hearthstone, as part of the game's base ("Classic") set, using the same art as that of the WoW Trading Card Game. ![]() The character was included as a card within the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game released on October 25, 2006, with art by Mike Krahulik of Penny Arcade fame. Regarding the video, Vinson stated, "We didn't think anyone would believe it was real, we thought it was so obviously satire." Merchandise Later, in December 2017, Schulz, along with Ben "Anfrony" Vinson, the cameraman of the video, released what he described as a first take/dry run of the video. Schulz had refused to confirm or deny whether the video was staged. When in April 2008 he was asked about his actions in the video by National Public Radio, Ben Schulz said the players "were drinking 40s and just yelling at each other." As time went on, some began suggesting that the video may have been staged. ![]() Origin Ben Schulz, player of Leeroy Jenkins, at the 2007 BlizzCon The video spread as an Internet meme, and Leeroy's response to the other players' chastisements, "at least I have chicken", was also much mimicked. The thread requested that other players provide help with strategy and that Blizzard reduce the difficulty of the encounter. The Internet meme started with the release of the video clip called A Rough Go to the World of Warcraft game forum in a thread titled "UBRS (vid) Rookery Overpowered! blue plz.", which presented the video in a serious context. The guild chastises Leeroy for rushing into the fight without any planning, to which he retorts "at least I have chicken". After his companions sit silent for a moment in disbelief, they try to save him, but the chaotic nature of the fight means that everyone is killed by the boss monsters. This plan is intended to help Leeroy obtain a piece of armor from the boss monsters, but is ruined when Leeroy himself returns and, ignorant of the strategy, utters "let's do this!" then immediately rushes headlong into battle shouting his own name in a stylized battle cry. The video features a group of players discussing a detailed battle plan for their next encounter while Leeroy is away from his computer, preparing a plate of chicken. The original video, titled Leeroy!!, was released by the World of Warcraft player guild "Pals for Life" to video-sharing site Warcraftmovies on May 11, 2005. As a result of positive reception to the meme, Blizzard subsequently added Leeroy Jenkins into World of Warcraft as an official non-player character and as a minion card and later as a hero in the online card game Hearthstone. The video capturing the character's behavior became an Internet meme. The character became popular in 2005 from his role in a viral video of game footage where, having been absent during his group's discussion of a meticulous plan, Leeroy returns and ruins it by charging straight into combat while shouting his own name as a battle cry. Leeroy Jenkins is a player character created by Ben Schulz in Blizzard Entertainment's MMORPG World of Warcraft. ![]() ![]() ![]() Please confirm the detail and scope of the warranty service with the dealer you purchased the laptop from.

This is by no means a complete list of all the best plugins, filters, and smart actions you can find. If you installed Photoshop somewhere else… look there. This is usually located somewhere like “C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC (64 Bit)\Plug-ins”. Some plugins will require you to download them and extract (or copy and paste) them into Photoshop’s dedicated plugin folder. Many will even detect your current installation of Photoshop and do most of the work. In these cases, you just download the installers, run them, and follow the instructions. Some of the larger, more popular plugins have their own installers. If it’s not a free plugin, you’ll have to pay up somewhere in that process, but it’s simple. From there, search through your options, click on the one you want, and go.
