Even if I install NetBSD on a USB stick, I would still put the source tree and pkgsrc on a hard-drive partition, likely the same partition I used for FreeBSD 9.0-BETA1 . I remember, under MBR and traditional BSD disklabels, how NetBSD overwrote the FreeBSD disklabel with its own on the FreeBSD partition. First time, with FreeBSD 7.2 and no packages/ports installed, I could no longer access that partition until I installed FreeBSD 8.0. Then with packages installed from ports, NetBSD again wrecked the FreeBSD disklabel, but this time, I had a backup copy and fixed the error, and FreeBSD was back in business as if nothing had gone wrong. But I think now that bug has been fixed at the NetBSD end. So I would be sure to keep a backup of the hard-drive partition table, GPT in this case, on a USB stick: a good idea, anyway. Tom

This pregnancy has only been a reality for about ten weeks. Last week, I saw my new baby for the first time, thanks to our first ultrasound. I captured that day during an Instagram party, in which I announced the new baby to my followers. I thought it was pretty cute:
This pregnancy feels very different from the first. My friends who have more than one kid have all told me, "This time, it will be easier." Honestly, I'm having a hard time grasping the idea! I don't know: Maybe they mean the birthing will be easier? (Praying it will be, Lord!) Because right now, all I can see ahead of me are a busy string of months filled with events, workshops, trying to keep a business afloat, all while ensuring I don't drive myself insane during this pregnancy.
Today, it was a stressful day. I didn't get all of my "to-do's" done, thanks to some unexpected turns of events. I felt like ranting on social media, but instead I turned off my phone for a part of the day and just focused on getting things done.
At the end of the day, I realized I hadn't done a number of things I'd planned to finishing, but it was OK. I was OK. After processing this hectic day, I came to terms with myself that I am where I need to be right now. I'm pregnant, for crying out loud. I won't be able to function like an Energizer Bunny for now. I have to be OK with that.
So I'm reminded of the words of missionary Jim Elliot —
Wherever you are, be all there. — Jim Elliot
"Be all there, Martine." Be all here, wherever my situation has allowed me to be at this point in time.
Where am I right now?
Well, in the thick of the first trimester. I'm dealing with daily bouts of "baby woozies," because I can't really call it "morning sickness." The feeling is a mix of being nauseated all day long, having no appetite for most of the day, and being hit by weird cravings for anything sour or tangy. (Weird, really. My meals today consisted of mozzarella sticks and salsa for brunch, followed by a veggie beef ragout for dinner, and then lots of non-caffeinated tea and lemonade in between. I managed to down some oatmeal cookies before I started feeling woozy again.)
And yet, I've decided I'm going to embrace the moment. "Live it to the hilt," continues Jim Elliot.
If this season is teaching me anything, it's to make things blissful indeed. I'm finding ways to make work lighter, more organically fit to my newly slow-paced (well, soon-to-be-slower-paced!) preggy life. I've been playing around Instagram, for instance, but at the same time growing my brand and meeting new people around the world because of it:
Playing along with #7vignettes by Jen of @interiorsaddict. I gained lots of new friends and followers from this — good for my blog!
I've pared down on the number of short-order jobs and am focusing on more high-yield consulting work, so that I minimize meeting hours and time away from my son — not to mention time for myself to rest, eat and get proper exercise during this pregnancy. Busy-holic me had to come to terms with the idea, and I'm loving it. In fact, I was telling a friend online "I've slowed down considerably, I didn't think I had it in me!"
Well, I do.
And I'll be "being all here" for a good long while. Because when this new baby comes, my world will be turned upside down again, and I'll have to make it blissful, too!
So, I hope you reading this have gotten something out of this "brain f*rt" today. Yeah, that's what I'm calling it. Nothing sweet and candy-coated about it, haha! May you have your own revelations today.
Are you like me, addicted at times to the pace of your busy life? What have you done to "be all there," where you are? Maybe the answer for you is not to slow down, but to shift perspectives? Let's talk about it in the comments.

I have just completed my workout journey with my personal trainer. We started together on the 21st April when I weighed 107 kg and my goal was to loose fat and gain muscle and definition. We really started to work hard from day one, and today was our final workout session after 4 months, and I now weigh in at 87kg. I'm really happy with the results that we have obtained and I now feel comfortable with myself, and strong, both mentally and physically, because the gym gives me not only a physical workout, but also a mental workout. Now I have to keep myself motivated with going to the gym every day , and also eat healthy. When working, I try to not always eat the burrito but instead opt for the salad that we also make.
My journey goes to show that nothing is impossible, if we really want it.

NENA's "Friends of 9-1-1" Scholarship Winners Named
Date: 2015-07-06
Four emergency call takers from across the United States have been selected to receive Friends of 9-1-1's annual Telecommunicator Continuing Education Scholarships.
The Friends of 9-1-1 scholarships were awarded to uniquely deserving 9-1-1 call takers, enabling them to attend a national 9-1-1 conference to build the skills necessary to advance in their careers. This year's winners were selected from a pool of nearly 100 applicants.
The 2015 winners of the Telecommunicator Continuing Education Scholarships are:
- Nathan Krause, Northwest Central Dispatch System, Illinois
- Reneaka Broadnax, Grady Memorial Hospital, Georgia
- Tina Mojzer, Town of Vail, Colorado
- Alexis Bone, Shawnee County Sheriff's Office, Kansas
"Telecommunicators provide lifesaving services every day to Americans across the country," said Brian Fontes, CEO of NENA – The 9-1-1 Association. "Their fast-paced, pressure-packed jobs require a variety of skills gained through training and experience. Nathan, Reneaka, Tina, and Alexis each represent the hard work, dedication, and commitment required to be a 9-1-1 call taker. We are proud to recognize them for their exceptional work and to support their continued 9-1-1 education."
Each scholarship provided complimentary registration to the NENA 2015 Conference & Expo and a one-day training course of choice at NENA 2015. It also includes a travel stipend of $500, bringing the scholarship's total value to around $1,600. The scholarship recipients were recognized at the conference Awards Ceremony on June 28.
The Friends of 9-1-1 program was established in 2013 by NENA to equip 9-1-1 call takers to better serve our communities, and to provide opportunities to say "thank you" to those who serve as the public's first line of emergency help.

Article written: October 2001
Fragrances are among the most common causes of allergic contact dermatitis,
and they are certainly the most common cosmetic ingredient causing allergic contact
dermatitis. They can also cause photodermatitis, contact urticaria, irritation,
hyperpigmentation and depigmentation of skin. Fragrances have widespread use and
are found in:
Usually the source of the fragrance exposure is a skin or hair care product rather
than cologne or perfumes itself.
Fragrance raw materials can be of organic origin, derived from animal or plant sources,
or from synthetic chemical source.
More than 5000 fragrance materials are in use today. A typical complete perfume
may consist of 10 to 300 separate components.
The maximum concentration of fragrances in various products is as follows:
Commercial perfumes are mixtures of essential oils and synthetic compounds, with
at least 20 ingredients as a rule. The mixture of volatile substances determines
the scent. To delay evaporation, "fixatives" are added. Common "fixatives"
are balsams, benzoyl benzoate, benzyl salicylate and synthetic musks. Sensitivity
to musks has been reported and sensitivity to balsams is common.
Screening for Fragrance Allergy:
Balsam of Peru
Balsam of Peru (BP) is usually included in the standard screening patch-test series
as an indicator of fragrance sensitivity. It is positive in 50% of cases of fragrance
allergy. BP is a naturally occurring substance, obtained from fir trees. It is composed
of many allergens including benzyl acetate, benzoyl alcohol, cinnamic acid, cinnamic
alcohol, cinnamic aldehyde, eugenol, and isoeugenol.
Fragrance Mix
This is also used to screen for fragrance allergy. Typically it is a mixture of
the 8 individual fragrances listed above.
Testing with BP and Fragrance Mix will probably detect about 75% of the cases of
fragrance allergy.
Cinnamic Alcohol & Cinnamic Aldehyde
These 2 commonly used fragrances are well known allergens. Along with other chemically
related compounds, they are used as flavouring agents, as well as fragrances. They
are used in:
Hydroxycitronellal is a synthetic fragrance used widely in floralizing
perfume materials. It is also used in insecticides and antiseptics.
Isoeugenol & Eugenol
Eugenol is a component of essential oils obtained from spices including
and cinnamon leaf, with an odour and taste of cloves.
It is also present in pimento, calamus, cananga, camphor, sassafras, and nutmeg.
In addition a number of flowers contain eugenol, including roses, carnations, hyacinths,
and violets. It is found in Balsam of Peru and in the Fragrance mix. It has been
used for a long time as a spice in the food industry and is approved by the FDA
as a flavouring agent for ingestion. It has been used to preserve meats and other
foods and has inherent insecticidal and fungicidal properties. Its usual concentration
varies from 0.03% in creams and lotions to 0.4% in perfumes. Eugenol "quenches"
non-immune contact urticarial reactions but has no effect on delayed-type hypersensitivity
reactions to cinnamic aldehyde.
Isoeugenol is manufactured by the isomerization of eugenol. It
has a spicy clove-like odour. Isoeugenol and Eugenol may cross-react.
The North American Contact Dermatitis Group found 3.1% of their patients who were
tested to the fragrance tray to be allergic to isoeugenol. Because of its sensitizing
capacity, it has been recommended that isoeugenol be used at no more than 1% concentration
in fragrance compounds.
Geraniol is the alcoholic extract obtained from geranium oil. It has a pleasant,
sweet rose-like odour. Most geraniol on the market at present is synthetic. Geraniol
is one of the most widely used terpenoid fragrance chemicals in soaps, detergents,
and cosmetics. It is also a component of natural flavours and essential oils used
in flavour compounds. It is found in over 250 essential oils and accounts for over
90% of palmarosa oil and a large portion of geranium and rose oils. The fragrance
mix has geraniol as one of its component.
Oak Moss Absolute is a natural product derived from tree lichen.
An essential oil is produced by solvent extraction of the plant. The part of the
essential oil that is alcohol extractable is called absolute or isolate. It is a
commonly used fragrance material in aftershave lotions to give them an earthy, woody,
and "masculine" odour. Oak moss absolute is a component of the fragrance
mix used in patch testing.
The prevalence of oak moss allergy reported by different investigators varied from
1% to 12%, depending on the concentration used for patch testing and other variables.
Sensitivity to oak moss was found to be more common in whites than in Asians in
a study conducted concomitantly in Europe, Japan, and the USA.
Benzyl Alcohol is a fragrance ingredient that is also used as an
antiseptic topically and as a preservative in injectible medications.
Some Topical Products containing Benzyl Alcohol:
Injectable Medications Containing Benzyl Alcohol:
Musk Ambrette & Musk Moskene
Musk Ambrette is a synthetic chemical that has been used widely for the last 60
years. It is used in fragrances, soaps, detergents, creams, lotions, and dentifrices.
Musk ambrette is a photosensitising fragrance. It can also cause an airborne allergic
contact dermatitis of the face with hyperpigmentation. There was a reported case
due to chronic burning of incense for several years.
Musk Moskene is related to Musk ambrette, but it causes less allergic contact dermatitis
and photodermatitis.
Flavouring agents & spices
Contact sensitivity to spices occurs mainly from occupational exposure, but sensitivity
to mustard, cinnamon, vanilla, allspice, oil of juniper and cloves is not uncommon,
even among consumers. Cigarette & pipe tobaccos contain about 1% of spices and
perfumes. The clinical consequence is unknown.
In modern food industry a large number of synthetic flavouring agents are used.
Strategies implemented to reduce the sensitising potential of fragrance materials:
International Fragrance association (IFRA) industry guidelines to restrict ingredient
*Extracted from the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) Code of Practise
Diagnosis of Fragrance Allergy
Patch Test to Balsam of Peru and
Fragrance Mix is a good screen to start with.
Since most individual fragrances are not listed on most cosmetics labels, a
Use Test
(applying the new product to a clear part of the forearm twice
daily for 5 days & observe for dermatitis) should be performed before starting
a new perfumed product. This is also advisable in cases of cosmetic products labelled
"unscented" as some still may contain a certain amount of fragrances (0.01%).

Inspired by Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay of India and supported strongly by Begum Sufia Kamal, Ruby Ghuznavi and her colleagues revived natural dyes in Bangladesh in the early '80s, after a gap of nearly a hundred years. In-depth research and experimentation with the rich repository of dye plants in this country yielded 30 colour fast dyes which are eco-friendly and non- pollutant. Permanent colours were extracted from flowers, leaves, fruit, peel and sawdust by combining them with mordants. In 1990 Aranya was set up to establish the commercial viability of the dyes. Through decades of intensive research and development, Aranya has extended its colour repertoire and refined production techniques to cut down production costs and give its products a competitive edge in the mainstream market within the country and abroad. Aranya is a well-established fair trade organization and a member of WFTO; it is also one of the earliest members of the World Crafts Council from Bangladesh.
With its outstanding designs and colours, Aranya has created a brand that is instantly recognizable. Apart from block print it uses a range of Asian craft techniques like tie-dye, folding, shading and various styles of Shibori to enrich its collection. Hand-dyed yarn in silk, cotton and other blended yarns are woven and embroidered in traditional saris, ready-wear, fabrics, accessories and a wide range of home textiles. Aranya's special achievement has been its revival of traditional Jamdanis and Kanthas, sourced from national and international museums and private collections.
Over the last two decades, Aranya has built a strong domestic market; its unique colour palette and designs have also attracted export orders from well-known retail stores like Liberty, Conran Shop, Selfridges, Chandni Chowk, Habitat and others in the UK as well as specialized retailers in Germany, France, Italy, Japan and Korea. It has also worked with international fashion houses like Nicole Farhi, Giorgio Armani, Jurgen Lehl and a host of young designers in the UK, Europe and Japan.
In recent years it became quite apparent that Aranya needed to expand substantially and increase its production capacity in order to respond effectively to the growing demand for its products in the domestic and export markets. Thus, in 2011 Aranya was taken over by the Bengal Foundation, a prestigious organization deeply committed to the development and promotion of our country's rich cultural heritage. For nearly a decade, the Foundation has provided invaluable support to advance the cause of fine arts, performing arts and crafts of Bangladesh, within the country and abroad. The Bengal Foundation is therefore the best organization to take over Aranya and surge forward to a successful future.

Personalised Girl's Towel
Use when bath time is eventually over
Product Description
Getting a little girl to have a shower or bath can be a hit and miss experience. They're more likely to want to wash than fussy boys but the downside is that they'll probably want to just sit in the bath for a day and an age.
When they eventually get out however they can use their very own towel. Made from 100% pink cotton it's incredibly soft to touch and very kind to skin.
You can also add your child's name to this towel and it'll be professionally embroidered by our experts.
It can also be used on the beach or swimming pool.
The towel measures 90 x 160cm.

Rio, Iniesta & Henry All Fit For Final
The stage is set but it is unclear yet whether all the main stars will make an appearance. United face Barcelona in Rome and doubts hang over the fitness of three key players.
However, all of them are optimistic of their chances of making it. Thierry Henry and Andres Iniesta declared they were confident of facing United while Rio Ferdinand voiced his absolute certainty that he'll shake off his minor problem in time.
Henry and Iniesta are training with the Barcelona squad now while Rio Ferdinand is preparing with some light training to face Hull on Sunday. He'll probably gain some match fitness under his belt before the final, unlike Henry and Iniesta.
So, suspensions (Alves, Abidal, Fletcher) and long-term injuries (Milito, Marquez, Hargreaves) apart, both teams are set to have their full squad available for the final. Just the way it should be.


text: Home > Entertainment Lito Lapid anxious about TV comeback ABS-CBN News Posted at Oct 04 2012 10:20 PM | Updated as of Oct 05 2012 07:32 PM Share Save Facebook Twitter GPlus LinkedIn MANILA, Philippines -- Sen. Lito Lapid had to apologize for feeling "uneasy" during the ABS-CBN trade event held Wednesday night, where his TV comeback project was launched before advertisers. "Nanlalamig ako eh, kasi first time ko mag-teleserye, first time ko mag-TV. Ang tagal ko nang artista pero first time ko gagawin 'to," Lapid told ABS-CBN news at the sidelines of the Kapamilya network's trade event tiled "A Beautiful Affair." "Pasensya na ah, dahil hindi ako masyadong komportable," he added, before excusing himself from interviews with reporters. Having earned his breakthrough role as the horse-riding Leon Guerrero in the '70s, the actor-turned-politician is set to topbill the upcoming fantasy series titled "Little Champ." "Excited ako, ang sarap ng feeling, naging bata ulit ako," he said of his comeback showbiz project. For his return to acting, Lapid will be "paired" with a "superhero" horse, a principal character in the series. In early September, a teaser trailer for "Little Champ" (above) was released, showcasing the talking white horse. "Nagsasalita 'yung kabayo, nag-uusap kaming dalawa. Nagkakaintindihan kami, kasi pag nakalunon ng bato 'yung kabayo -- kasi patpatin siya't payat -- lalaki siya na para talagang superhero siya," Lapid said in an earlier interview with ABS-CBN News. "'Yun talaga ang aabangan, at ang pagligtas sa naaapi at mga taong nangangailangan ng tulong," he added. Also starring Mickey Ferriols, Jake Roxas, Coleen Garcia, Lara Quigaman and Renz Fernandez, "Little Champ" is expected to air on ABS-CBN later this year.

Hello, everyone.
Using the same tables in my previous post ..
I'm trying to build a select that will first list stand-alone baselines (no project); next, baselines that have projects and the associated projects; next are stand-alone projects (no baseline associated.)
But it's not really THAT simple.
The select options should be something like:
What I have, so far, is a SP that creates a temp table that has an IDENTITY, makes a select for stand-alone baselines and inserts that into the temp table, makes a select for stand-alone projects and inserts that into the temp table, then does the select from the temp table ORDER BY the IDENTITY. I'm not sure how to get the middle SELECT to do what I'm looking for.Code:Baseline 1234 Baseline 1235 Baseline 1346 Baseline 1421 --------- (greyed out/disabled) Baseline 1211 Project 1 (1211) Project 3 (1211) Baseline 1387 Project 2 (1387) Project 5 (1387) Baseline 1455 Project 12 (1455) --------- (greyed out/disabled) Project 10 Project 11 Project 13
Any suggestions?

Vegetarian Shepherd's Pie
Happy Pi/Pie Day! I know that most people are probably celebrating with desserts, but what about a savory pie? Or rather a savory dish with pie in the name that isn't actually a pie? Whatever, don't judge me. It's time for another vegetarian lunch with Melissa from Smells Like Brownies. Be sure to check out her delicious Pi Day Coconut Cream Pie, it is sooooooo good!
This vegetarian version shepard's pie is packed with veggies, topped with creamy goat cheese, and perfect for St Paddy's Day (which is never St Patty's by the way). I mean, just look at that gorgeous green topping.
The base is made with roasted beets, eggplant, sundried tomatoes, and cherry tomatoes simmered in vegetable stock with thyme, caraway seeds, and fennel seeds. I was a little scared that the fennel and caraway would be really strong and take over, but they added just the right amount of depth and a real Irish flavor.

Borderlands 2 Golden Chest: "Very Rare" Goodies Now Or Later?
This here is a treasure chest. There are about a million of 'em in Borderlands 2.
But as you might've anticipated, this is no ordinary treasure chest. We haven't taken leave of our senses and posted up a story about how Borderlands 2 has chests, and this is just a picture of one of them. No, not crazy yet (check back in November).
This chest is special because it can only be opened if you signed up for the Premiere Club, which could've easily been done had you pre-ordered the hotly anticipated sequel. Or maybe you got into the Club by a giveaway or some other means. Either way, doing so netted you a Golden Key, which opens that chest. Now, the interesting part, as described in the Gearbox forums:
The loot in that chest is always "very rare" (of the purple quality) and the items within will be scaled to your character's level. In other words, if you open it immediately upon seeing it when you're a lower level, you'll get lesser stuff, even though it'll still be "very rare." If you wait until you're higher in level, the equipment will be more powerful. ...so, which is it? Awesome stuff now or later? Decisions, decisions.
And no, you can't open it twice or anything.

Another proposal that should be considered alongside these other embedded media norms[1] is the question of whether the text equivalent for photographs should be treated the same as the other text equivalents that are indispensable for comprehending a document when the embedded media are unavailable to the user. To facilitate the greater expressiveness WCAG describes, a separate facility for descriptions of media would be useful. For example HTML4.01 has the longdesc attribute. HTML5 might use that attribute or add a new one like textdesc that gets away from the misnomer of long (since length is not really relevant to the purpose of the attribute, rather its the descriptiveness of the embedded media as opposed to its alt text media replacement). Along those lines, one way to read WCAG is that such description can make use of a separate mechanism and is not always necessary to use the at text mechanism for such media description. In a certain sense using the same alt text mechanism for both alt text (media replacement) and media description degrades the user experience. By having two mechanisms and encouraging authors to make use of the appropriate mechanism for the appropriate text equivalent, users can grow to rely on finding media replacing alt text within the alt text mechanism and media description in the description mechanism. So providing two separate mechanism for these two different types of text equivalent (alt text and descriptive text) is important (and lacking from the HTML5 current draft). Taking this one step further, these different text equivalents also have different levels of importance when evaluating the accessibility of a document. For example a document with thoroughly authored alt text is a very accessible document even if it is missing descriptive text. While a document with thoroughly authored descriptive text but missing alt text might have serious accessibility problems. So if we consider this in light of the Flickr example, one reasonable reading of WCAG would suggest that the lone photograph on the page could reasonably have the alt text alt='', while the descriptive text might elsewhere describe the subjects and visual qualities of the photograph. However, due to the greater importance of the alt text (in this case merely null is sufficient), it would be reasonable to require alt text for photographs and merely recommend the descriptive text equivalent. In this way Flickr (and related authoring tools) are fully conforming to the HTML5 recommendation by merely including a null alt value. Flickr might also make it easy for authors to select photographs missing descriptive text and add such text equivalents. So it may be a reasonable compromise — made possible by handling alt text and descriptive text through two separate mechanisms — to treat alt text as required and descriptive text as recommended for document conformance. This combined with the role attribute and the other noms I proposed earlier provides an effective solution to the problems and use cases raised surrounding text equivalents in HTML5. So just to reiterate those norms with this proposed compromise: * the IMG element MUST include a role attribute with at least one suitable non-text media role keyword (decor, spacer, icon, logo, photo, albumphoto, portrait, chart, diagram, geomap, text, mathexpr, musicscore, livecam)[2] * the IMG element MUST include an alt attribute (though its value may be null in certain circumstances) * authors MUST include suitable alt text for each image embedded with the IMG element and authors SHOULD follow WCAG guidelines in composing suitable alt text +* authors should include a suitable descriptive text equivalent referenced with the longdesc (or textdesc or whatever attribute name we choose; or even by providing user and authoring access to the immanent IPTC caption or another W3C specified property[3]) * authoring tools SHOULD follow ATAG advice in assisting authors to compose suitable alt text and MAY automatically generate default alt text in cases where it is possible (e.g., the alt plain text of an image of richly styled text) * authoring tools MUST NOT add any text that is a placeholder for alt text (e.g., "this is an image") * authors MUST NOT add any text that is a placeholder for alt text (e.g., "this is an image") Take care, Rob [1]: <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2008Aug/0581.html> [2]: <http://esw.w3.org/topic/PF/XTech/HTML5/RoleAttribute#head-610fd0a42b1d8af2253378db31d9d28bd22988b9 > [3]: <http://esw.w3.org/topic/HTML/UANormAndDOMForMediaPropeties>Received on Friday, 22 August 2008 22:48:18 UTC

Introducing Support for Generating Ruby SDKs in Amazon API Gateway
We're excited to announce support for generating Ruby SDKs from Amazon API Gateway. The Ruby SDKs you generated are compatible with Ruby 1.9 and later. Generated SDKs have first-class support for API keys, custom or AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) authentication, automatic and configurable retries, exception handling, and all privileges of
aws-sdk-core version 3 has as well. In this blog post, we'll walk through how to create an example API and generate a Ruby SDK from that API. We also explore various features of the generated SDK. In this post, we assume you have some familiarity with API Gateway concepts.
Creating an example API
To start, let's create an sample API by using the API Gateway console.
Open the API Gateway console, choose Create API, and then choose Example API. Then choose Import to create the example API.
This simple, example API has four straightforward operations:
- A GET on the API root resource that returns HTML describing the API
- A GET on the /pets resource that returns a list of Pets
- A POST on the /pets resource that creates a new Pet
- A GET on the /pets/{petId} resource that returns a specific Pet by ID
You can find more information about this example in the API Gateway documentation.
Deploying the API
Next, let's deploy our API to a stage.
From Actions choose Deploy API.
On the stage deployment page, name the stage Test, and then choose Deploy.
After deploying, the SDK Generation tab is available. For Platform, choose Ruby.
For Service Name, type Pet.
Choose Generate SDK, and then extract the downloaded SDK package.
The following are the configuration options available for the Ruby platform:
- Service Name – Used to generate the Ruby gem namespace for your APIs.
- Ruby Gem Name – The name of the Ruby gem your generated SDK code will be placed under. If you don't provide a name, this defaults to the service name in lowercase, with the "sdk" suffix.
- Ruby Gem Version – The version number for the generated Ruby gem. If you don't provide a version number, this defaults to 1.0.0 if not provided.
These are basic Ruby gem configuration options. You can customize your Ruby gemspec in the generated SDK gem later.
Using the generated Ruby SDK gem
Navigate to the location of your downloaded SDK gem. The directory structure looks like the following.
/features and
/spec directories are currently left empty for integration and unit tests that you can add to the SDK. The generated SDK is fully documented for operations and shapes in the source code.
Exploring the SDK
Let's explore the SDK by building a Ruby gem from the generated source, as follows.
# change to /pet-sdk directory
cd pet-sdk
# build the generated gem
gem build pet-sdk.gemspec
# then you can see pet-sdk-1.0.0.gem is available
Then, install the gem, as follows.
gem install pet-sdk-1.0.0.gem
Finally, create the client.
require 'pet-sdk'
client = Pet::Client.new
Features in the client
Now you have your own client that includes multiple features from the official AWS SDK for Ruby. These include default exponential backoff retries, HTTP wire logging options, configurable timeouts, and more.
For example:
require 'pet-sdk'
client = Pet::Client.new(
http_wire_trace: true,
retry_limit: 5,
http_read_timeout: 50
Making API calls
Let's see all the API methods that are available and use your SDK's built-in parameter validators to make a successful API call:
# => [:create_pet, :get_api_root, :get_pet, :get_pets]
# get me all my pets
resp = client.get_pets
You should see a response like the following.
# I want the cat
# ArgumentError: missing required parameter params[:pet_id]
# providing :pet_id
client.get_pet(pet_id: 2)
# ArgumentError: expected params[:pet_id] to be a String, got value 2 (class: Fixnum) instead.
# fix the value type
resp = client.get_pet(pet_id: "2")
Now you can see a correct response like the following.
If you have some familiarity with the AWS SDK for Ruby, you should find the experience similar to using an AWS service client.
Generate a Ruby SDK from an API
In addition to using the API Gateway console to generate a Ruby SDK, the
get_sdk API is available in all of the AWS SDKs and tools, including the AWS SDK for Ruby.
For this example, we assume that you have some familiarity with the AWS SDK for Ruby. You can find a quick introduction to the SDK for Ruby here.
require 'aws-sdk-apigateway'
client = Aws::ApiGateway::Client.new(region: 'us-west-2')
resp = client.get_sdk({
rest_api_id: MY_REST_API_ID, # required
stage_name: DEPLOY_STAGE_NAME, # required
sdk_type: "ruby", # required
parameters: {
"service.name" => "PetStore", # required
"ruby.gem-name" => "pet",
"ruby.gem-version" => "0.0.1"
Final thoughts
This post highlights how to generate a Ruby client SDK for an API in API Gateway, and how to call the API using the generated SDK in an application. For more information about using a generated SDK, see your
README.md file in the uncompressed generated SDK gem folder. Details of example usage of your API are also generated in source file documentation blocks.
Please share your questions, comments, and issues with us on GitHub. Feel free to open a support ticket with AWS Support if you find an issue with your API model. You can also catch us in our Gitter channel.
Announcing the Modularized AWS SDK for Ruby (Version 3)
We're excited to announce today's stable release of version 3 of the AWS SDK for Ruby. The SDK is now available with over 100 service-specific gems (starting with
aws-sdk-*, such as
aws-sdk-s3) on RubyGems. You can find a full list of available service gems can be found at our GitHub landing page.
Version 3 of the AWS SDK for Ruby modularizes the monolithic SDK into service-specific gems, for example,
aws-sdk-s3 and
aws-sdk-dynamodb. Now each service gem uses strict semantic versioning, along with the benefits of continuous delivery of AWS API updates. With modularization, you can pick and choose which service gems your application or library requires, and update service gems independently of each other.
These new service-specific gems use statically generated code, rather than runtime-generated clients and types. This provides human-readable stack traces and code for API clients. Additionally, version 3 eliminates many thread safety issues by removing Ruby
autoload statements. When you require a service gem, such as
aws-sdk-ec2, all of the code is loaded upfront, avoiding sync issues with
Furthermore, the SDK provides AWS Signature Version 4 signing functionality as a separate gem
aws-sigv4. This gem provides flexible signing usage for both AWS requests and customized scenarios.
We've provided a detailed upgrading guide with this release, which covers different upgrade scenarios. In short, the public-facing APIs are compatible, and so changes you need to make are focused on your
Gemfile and
require statements.
Most users of the SDK have a setup similar to this:
# Gemfile
gem 'aws-sdk', '~> 2'
# Code Files
require 'aws-sdk'
s3 = Aws::S3::Client.new
ddb = Aws::DynamoDB::Client.new
# etc.
If that's you, the quickest migration path is to simply change your
Gemfile like so:
# Gemfile
gem 'aws-sdk', '~> 3'
However, this will pull in many new dependencies, as each service client has its own individual gem. As a direct user, you can also change to using only the service gems actually required by your project, which is the recommended path. This would involve a change to both your
Gemfile and to the code files where your
require statements live, like so:
# Gemfile
gem 'aws-sdk-s3', '~> 1'
gem 'aws-sdk-dynamodb', '~> 1'
# Code Files
require 'aws-sdk-s3'
require 'aws-sdk-dynamodb'
s3 = Aws::S3::Client.new
ddb = Aws::DynamoDB::Client.new
# etc.
Other upgrade cases are covered in the guide.
Please share your questions, comments, issues, etc. with us on GitHub. You can also catch us in our Gitter channel.
Upgrading from Version 2 to Version 3 of the AWS SDK for Ruby
Recently we announced the modularization of the AWS SDK for Ruby. This blog post will focus on how to upgrade your application to use the new service specific gems.
This blog post is divided up into sections based on how you currently depend on the AWS SDK for Ruby today. Find the section below that describes how you load the SDK today, and it will guide you in upgrading. Since version 3 is backwards compatible with version 2, you should not need to make additional changes beyond those described below.
Bunder: gem 'aws-sdk', '~>2'
Congratulations! You are following recommended best practices for how to depend on the SDK today. The simplest path to upgrade is to change the version from 2 to 3.
#gem 'aws-sdk', '~> 2'
gem 'aws-sdk', '~> 3'
See the section about using service specific gems below.
Bundler: gem 'aws-sdk' (without version)
It is not recommended to depend on the SDK without a major version constraint. Fortunately, version 3 is backwards compatible with version 2. Bundle updating your dependencies will work, but consider yourself lucky! You should add the version constraint to protect from future major version changes:
#gem 'aws-sdk'
gem 'aws-sdk', '~> 3'
See the section about using service specific gems below.
Bundler: gem 'aws-sdk-core', '~> 2'
The aws-sdk-core gem changes signification from version 2 to 3. In version 3, the core gem no longer defines any services. It will only contain shared utilities, such as credential providers, serializers, etc. To upgrade you must make two changes:
- Change your bundler dependency
- Change your ruby require statements
In bundler, replace aws-sdk-core, with aws-sdk:
#gem 'aws-sdk-core', '~> 2'
gem 'aws-sdk', '~> 3'
In code, replace any require statements on aws-sdk-core with aws-sdk.
#require 'aws-sdk-core'
require 'aws-sdk'
See the section about using service specific gems below.
Bundler: gem 'aws-sdk-core' (without version)
If you happen to bundle update before changing your Gemfile, your application will be broken. Version 3 of the aws-sdk-core gem no longer defines service modules and clients. It is a shared dependency of the 75+ service gems. To upgrade you must make two changes:
- Change your bundler dependency
- Change your ruby require statements
In bundler, replace aws-sdk-core, with aws-sdk:
#gem 'aws-sdk-core'
gem 'aws-sdk', '~> 3'
In code, replace any require statements on aws-sdk-core with aws-sdk.
#require 'aws-sdk-core'
require 'aws-sdk'
See the section about using service specific gems below.
Bundler: gem 'aws-sdk-resource' (with or without version)
In version 3, the aws-sdk-resources gem has been removed. This gem will not receive any further updates. Each service gem contains both the client interface, and the resource interfaces. To upgrade you must make two changes:
- Change your bundler dependency
- Change your ruby require statements
#gem 'aws-sdk-resources', '~> 2'
gem 'aws-sdk', '~> 3'
In code, replace any require statements on aws-sdk-resources with aws-sdk.
#require 'aws-sdk-core'
require 'aws-sdk'
See the section about using service specific gems below.
Using the Service Specific Gems
Each of the instructions above suggested using version 3 of the aws-sdk gem. This will work and is the shortest path to upgrading. It will however install 75+ service specific gems. You may choose to replace your dependency on the aws-sdk gem with service specific gems.
If my application depends on Amazon DynamoDB and Amazon S3, I could make the following changes:
In my Gemfile:
#gem 'aws-sdk', '~> 3'
gem 'aws-sdk-dynamodb', '~> 1'
gem 'aws-sdk-s3', '~> 1'
In my code:
#require 'aws-sdk'
require 'aws-sdk-s3'
require 'aws-sdk-dynamodb'
If you are a library maintainer, and you depend on the AWS SDK for Ruby, you should use service specific gems. Do no force your users to install every AWS service gem if you only depend on one.
Upgrading should be very simple. If you encounter any backwards incompatible changes, please open a GitHub issue. The modularized SDK will be in preview for a short period to hopefully catch these issues before going GA. You can also catch us in the gitter channel.
AWS SDK for Ruby Modularization (Version 3)
Version 3 of the AWS SDK for Ruby is available now as a preview release. This version modularizes the monolithic SDK into service specific gems. Aside from gem packaging differences, version 3 interfaces are backwards compatible with version 2.
You can install individual gems like so:
$ gem install aws-sdk-s3 --version 1.0.0.rc1
You can install everything using the aws-sdk gem:
$ gem install aws-sdk --version 3.0.0.rc1
To see a complete list of gems, checkout the project README for a list of supported services and gems.
Modularization allows us to make some long requested changes to the SDK. Some of these changes were not reasonable when we shipped a single monolithic gem with 75+ services. Some of the primary motivating factors for breaking up the monolith include:
- To provide better versioning information. When 75+ services share a single gem, it is difficult to communicate when a change is meaningful to a user. We can now use strict semantic versioning for each gem.
- To improve our ability to deliver AWS API updates continuously. The number of new services and updates has been significantly increasing the frequency with which we update. We want to avoid situations where one update is blocked by an unrelated service. We can now continuously deliver updates per service gem.
- Remove the usage of Ruby `autoload` statements. When you require a service gem, such as aws-sdk-ec2, all of the code is loaded and ready to use. This should eliminate a large number of thread safety issues that users encounter due to the use of autoload.
- A large amount of the dynamic runtime has been replaced with code generation. This allows users to reason better about what code is doing, receive better stack traces, improve performance, etc.
What Has Changed?
Our intent for the modularization is to keep SDK interfaces backwards compatible. You may need to modify your gem dependency on the AWS SDK for Ruby. The aws-sdk and aws-sdk-core gems have been bumped to version 3.0 to protect users from package level changes.
* Every service has a gem, such as aws-sdk-s3.
* The aws-sdk-core gem now only contains shared utilities.
* The aws-sdk-resources is obsolete. Service gems contain both client and resource interfaces.
* The aws-sdk gem now has a dependency on 75+ service gems.
Here is a diagram showing the dependencies of the aws-sdk gem across its major versions.
Why Bump to Version 3?
The version 2 aws-sdk-core gem includes code that defines 75+ service modules and shared utilities. It is important to prevent a service specific gem, such as aws-sdk-s3 and the core gem from both defining the same interfaces.
While we have worked hard to ensure full backwards compatibility in the service interfaces, a small number of private internal interfaces have been removed or changed. For users that have relied on these un-documented interfaces, this will prevent unexpected breaks with a gem update. Some of these changes include:
- Removed the internal runtime methods Aws.add_service and Aws.service_added. These methods were used by the runtime to detect when a service was autoloaded.
- Removed the internal Aws::Signers module and the various signature classes therein. These classes were marked with @api private. They are now available as separate gems:
- aws-sigv4
- aws-sigv2
Migrating Code From Version 2 to Version 3
Migrating should be very simple. If you depend on aws-sdk, then you do not need to change anything. If you depend on aws-sdk-resources or aws-sdk-core, replace these with a dependency on one of the following:
* aws-sdk ~> 3.0
* Service specific gems, such as aws-sdk-s3 ~> 1.0
You will also need to replace your require statements. You should no longer call require "aws-sdk-resources" or require "aws-sdk-core". A follow-up blog post provides detailed instructions on upgrading.
Join us in our Gitter channel with your questions and feedback. The modularized released is currently published as a preview gem (rc1). We would love for you to try things out and to share feedback for these are GA.
General Availability Release of the aws-record Gem
Today, we're pleased to announce the GA release of version
1.0.0 of the
aws-record gem.
What Is aws-record?
In version 1 of the AWS SDK for Ruby, the
AWS::Record class provided a data mapping abstraction over Amazon DynamoDB operations. Earlier this year, we released the
aws-record developer preview as a separately packaged library to provide a similar data mapping abstraction for DynamoDB, built on top of the AWS SDK for Ruby version 2. After customer feedback and some more development work, we're pleased to move the library out of developer preview to general availability.
How to Include the aws-record Gem in Your Project
aws-record gem is available now from RubyGems:
gem install aws-record
You can also include it in your project's Gemfile:
# Gemfile gem 'aws-record', '~> 1.0'
This automatically includes a dependency on the
aws-sdk-resources gem, major version 2. Be sure to include the
aws-sdk or
aws-sdk-resources gem in your Gemfile if you need to lock to a specific version, like so:
# Gemfile gem 'aws-record', '~> 1.0' gem 'aws-sdk-resources', '~> 2.5'
Working with DynamoDB Tables Using the aws-record Gem
Defining an Aws::Record Model
aws-record gem provides the
Aws::Record module, which you can include in a class definition. This decorates your class with a variety of helper methods that can simplify interactions with Amazon DynamoDB. For example, the following model uses a variety of preset attribute definition helper methods and attribute options:
require 'aws-record' class Forum include Aws::Record string_attr :forum_uuid, hash_key: true integer_attr :post_id, range_key: true string_attr :author_username string_attr :post_title string_attr :post_body string_set_attr :tags, default_value: Set.new datetime_attr :created_at, database_attribute_name: "PostCreatedAtTime" boolean_attr :moderation, default_value: false end
Using Validation Libraries with an Aws::Record Model
aws-record gem does not come with a built-in validation process. Rather, it is designed to be a persistence layer, and to allow you to bring your own validation library. For example, the following model includes the popular
ActiveModel::Validations module, and has defined a set of validations that will be run when we attempt to save an item:
require 'aws-record' require 'active_model' class Forum include Aws::Record include ActiveModel::Validations string_attr :forum_uuid, hash_key: true integer_attr :post_id, range_key: true string_attr :author_username string_attr :post_title string_attr :post_body string_set_attr :tags, default_value: Set.new datetime_attr :created_at, database_attribute_name: "PostCreatedAtTime" boolean_attr :moderation, default_value: false validates_presence_of :forum_uuid, :post_id, :author_username validates_length_of :post_title, within: 4..30 validates_length_of :post_body, within: 2..5000 end
Creating a DynamoDB Table for a Model with Aws::Record::TableMigration
aws-record gem provides a helper class for table operations, such as migrations. If we wanted to create a table for our
Forum model in DynamoDB, we would run the following migration:
migration = Aws::Record::TableMigration.new(Forum) migration.create!( provisioned_throughput: { read_capacity_units: 5, write_capacity_units: 2 } ) migration.wait_until_available
You can write these migrations in your
Rakefile or as standalone helper scripts for your application. Because you don't need to update your table definition for additions of non-key attributes, you may find that you're not running migrations as often for your
Aws::Record models.
Working with DynamoDB Items Using the aws-record Gem
Creating and Persisting a New Item
Using the example model above, once it has been created in the DynamoDB remote end using
Aws::Record::TableMigration (or if it already existed in the remote end), it is simple to create and save a new item:
post = Forum.new( forum_uuid: FORUM_UUID, post_id: 1, author_username: "Author One", post_title: "Hello!", post_body: "Hello, world!" ) post.created_at = Time.now post.save # Performs a put_item call.
You can set attributes when you initialize a new item and with setter methods that are defined for you automatically.
Finding and Modifying an Item
A class-level method
#find is provided to look up items from DynamoDB using your model's key attributes. After setting a few new attribute values, calling
#save will make an update call to DynamoDB, reflecting only the item changes you've made. This is important for users who are fetching items with projections (which may not include all attributes), or using single-table inheritance patterns (who may not have modeled all attributes present in a remote item), to avoid clobbering unmodeled or non-included attribute values.
post = Forum.find(forum_uuid: FORUM_UUID, post_id: 1) post.post_title = "(Removed)" post.post_body = "(Removed)" post.moderation = true post.save # Performs an update_item call on dirty attributes only.
There is also a class-level method to directly build and make an update call to DynamoDB, using key attributes to identify the item and non-key attributes to form the update expression:
Forum.update( forum_uuid: FORUM_UUID, post_id: 1, post_title: "(Removed)", post_body: "(Removed)", moderation: true )
The preceding two code examples are functionally equivalent. You'll have the same database state after running either snippet.
A Note on Dirty Tracking
In our last example, we talked about how item updates only reflect changes to modified attributes. Users of
ActiveRecord or similar libraries will be familiar with the concept of tracking dirty attribute values, but
aws-record is a bit different. That is because DynamoDB supports collection attribute types, and in Ruby, collection types are often modified through object mutation. To properly track changes to an item when objects can be changed through mutable state,
Aws::Record items will, by default, keep deep copies of your attribute values when loading from DynamoDB. Attribute changes through mutation, like this example, will work the way you expect:
post = Forum.find(forum_uuid: FORUM_UUID, post_id: 1) post.tags.add("First") post.dirty? # => true post.save # Will call update_item with the new tags collection.
Tracking deep copies of attribute values has implications for performance and memory. You can turn off mutation tracking at the model level. If you do so, dirty tracking will still work for new object references, but will not work for mutated objects:
class NoMTModel include Aws::Record disable_mutation_tracking string_attr :key, hash_key: true string_attr :body map_attr :map end item = NoMTModel.new(key: "key", body: "body", map: {}) item.save # Will call put_item item.map[:key] = "value" item.dirty? # => false, because we won't track mutations to objects item.body = "New Body" item.dirty? # => true, because we will still notice reassignment # Will call update_item, but only update :body unless we mark map as dirty explicitly. item.save
Try the aws-record Gem Today!
We're excited to hear about what you're building with
aws-record. Feel free to leave your feedback in the comments, or open an issue in our GitHub repo. Read through the documentation and get started!
Introducing the Aws::Record Developer Preview
We are happy to announce that the
aws-record gem is now in Developer Preview and available for you to try.
What Is Aws::Record?
In version 1 of the AWS SDK for Ruby, the
AWS::Record class provided a data mapping abstraction over Amazon DynamoDB operations. As version 2 of the AWS SDK for Ruby was being developed, many of you asked for an updated version of the library.
aws-record gem provides a data mapping abstraction for DynamoDB built on top of the AWS SDK for Ruby version 2.
Using Aws::Record
You can download the
aws-record gem from RubyGems by including the
--pre flag in a gem installation:
gem install 'aws-record' --pre
You can also include it in your Gemfile. Do not include a version lock yet, so that
bundler can find the pre-release version:
# Gemfile gem 'aws-record'
Defining a Model
To create an aws-record model, include the
Aws::Record module in your class definition:
require 'aws-record' class Forum include Aws::Record end
This will decorate your class with helper methods you can use to create a model compatible with DynamoDB's table schemas. You might define keys for your table:
require 'aws-record' class Forum include Aws::Record string_attr :forum_uuid, hash_key: true integer_attr :post_id, range_key: true end
When you use these helper methods, you do not need to worry about how to define these attributes and types in DynamoDB. The helper methods and marshaler classes are able to define your table and item operations for you. The
aws-record gem comes with predefined attribute types that cover a variety of potential use cases:
require 'aws-record' class Forum include Aws::Record string_attr :forum_uuid, hash_key: true integer_attr :post_id, range_key: true string_attr :author_username string_attr :post_title string_attr :post_body datetime_attr :created_at map_attr :post_metadata end
Creating a DynamoDB Table
aws-record gem provides a helper class for table operations, such as migrations. If we wanted to create a table for our
Forum model in DynamoDB, we would run the following migration:
require 'forum' # Depending on where you defined the class above. migration = Aws::Record::TableMigration.new(Forum) migration.create!( provisioned_throughput: { read_capacity_units: 10, write_capacity_units: 4 } ) migration.wait_until_available # Blocks until table creation is complete.
Operations with DynamoDB Items
With a model and table defined, we can perform operations that relate to items in our table. Let's create a post:
require 'forum' require 'securerandom' uuid = SecureRandom.uuid post = Forum.new post.forum_uuid = uuid post.post_id = 1 post.author_username = "User1" post.post_title = "Hello!" post.post_body = "Hello Aws::Record" post.created_at = Time.now post.post_metadata = { this_is_a: "Post", types_supported_include: ["String", "Integer", "DateTime"], how_many_times_ive_done_this: 1 } post.save # Writes to the database.
This example shows us some of the types that are supported and serialized for you. Using the key we've defined, we can also find this object in our table:
my_post = Forum.find(forum_uuid: uuid, post_id: 1) my_post.post_title # => "Hello!" my_post.created_at # => #<DateTime: 2016-02-09T14:39:07-08:00 ((2457428j,81547s,0n),-28800s,2299161j)>
You can use the same approach to save changes or, as shown here, you can delete the item from the table:
my_post.delete! # => true
At this point, we know how to use
Aws::Record to perform key-value store operations powered by DynamoDB and have an introduction to the types available for use in our tables.
Querying, Scanning, and Collections
Because it is likely that you're probably doing Query and Scan operations in addition to key-value operations,
aws-record provides support for integrating them with your model class.
When you include the
Aws::Record module, your model class is decorated with
#query and
#scan methods, which correspond to the AWS SDK for Ruby client operations. The response is wrapped in a collection enumerable for you. Consider the following basic scan operation:
Forum.scan # => #<Aws::Record::ItemCollection:0x007ffc293ec790 @search_method=:scan, @search_params={:table_name=>"Forum"}, @model=Forum, @client=#<Aws::DynamoDB::Client>>
No client call has been made yet:
ItemCollection instances are lazy, and only make client calls only when needed. Because they provide an enumerable interface, you can use any of Ruby's enumerable methods on your collection, and your result page is saved:
resp = Forum.scan resp.take(1) # Makes a call to the underlying client. Returns a 'Forum' object. resp.take(1) # Same result, but does not repeat the client call.
Because the
Aws::Record::ItemCollection uses version 2 ofthe AWS SDK for Ruby, pagination support is built-in. So, if your operation requires multiple DynamoDB client calls due to response truncation,
ItemCollection will handle the calls required in your enumeration:
def author_posts Forum.scan.inject({}) do |acc, post| author = post.author_username if acc[author] acc[author] += 1 else acc[author] = 1 end acc end end
The same applies for queries. Your query result will also be provided as an enumerable
def posts_by_forum(uuid) Forum.query( key_condition_expression: "#A = :a", expression_attribute_names: { "#A" => "forum_uuid" }, expression_attribute_values: { ":a" => uuid } ) end
Given this functionality, you have the flexibility to mix and match Ruby's enumerable functionality with DynamoDB filter expressions, for example, to curate your results. These two functions return the same set of responses:
def posts_by_author_in_forum(uuid, author) posts_by_forum(uuid).select do |post| post.author_username == author end end def posts_by_author_in_forum_with_filter(uuid, author) Forum.query( key_condition_expression: "#A = :a", filter_expression: "#B = :b", expression_attribute_names: { "#A" => "forum_uuid", "#B" => "author_username" }, expression_attribute_values: { ":a" => uuid, ":b" => author } ) end
Support for Secondary Indexes
Aws::Record also supports both local and global secondary indexes. Consider this modified version of our Forum table:
require 'aws-record' class IndexedForum include Aws::Record string_attr :forum_uuid, hash_key: true integer_attr :post_id, range_key: true string_attr :author_username string_attr :post_title string_attr :post_body datetime_attr :created_at map_attr :post_metadata global_secondary_index(:author, hash_key: :author_username, projection: { projection_type: "INCLUDE", non_key_attributes: ["post_title"] } ) local_secondary_index(:by_date, range_key: :created_at, projection: { projection_type: "ALL" } ) end
You can see the table's attributes are the same, but we've included a couple potentially useful indexes.
:author: This uses the author name as a partition, which provides a way to search across forums by author user name without having to scan and filter. Take note of the projection, because your global secondary index results will only return the
:author_username, and
:post_title. Other attributes will be missing from this projection, and you would have to hydrate your item by calling
#reload!on the item instance.
:by_date: This provides a way to sort and search within a forum by post creation date.
To create this table with secondary indexes, you create a migration like we did before:
require 'indexed_forum' migration = Aws::Record::TableMigration.new(IndexedForum) migration.create!( provisioned_throughput: { read_capacity_units: 10, write_capacity_units: 4 }, global_secondary_index_throughput: { author: { read_capacity_units: 5, write_capacity_units: 3 } } ) migration.wait_until_available
You can use either of these indexes with the query interface:
require 'indexed_forum' def search_by_author(author) IndexedForum.query( index_name: "author", key_condition_expression: "#A = :a", expression_attribute_names: { "#A" => "author_username" }, expression_attribute_values: { ":a" => author } ) )
Secondary indexes can be a powerful performance tool, and
aws-record can simplify the process of managing them.

RailsConf 2015 Recap
Recently, Trevor, Loren, and myself from the AWS SDK team attended RailsConf in Atlanta. We had a great time at the conference and enjoyed connecting with many of you there.
Our Rails on Amazon Web Services Workshop
At RailsConf, we ran a workshop called Deploy and Manage Ruby on Rails Apps on AWS. It was an amazing experience for us, with attendees of all experience levels gettings hands-on experience not only deploying to AWS, but learning about the tools we've made to help make integrations easier.
For those of you who could not make it, you can still give this workshop a try!
- Detailed step-by-step instructions, the same as we provided to attendees, are available here.
- You can also follow along with the presentation recording on YouTube.
- Code for the sample app is available on GitHub.
- If you'd like to try using Amazon Relational Database Service instead of using AWS OpsWorks managed MySQL, you can reference our blog post on that topic as well.
Continuing the Conversation
We hope to see more of you on the conference trail again soon! Apropos of this, it is worth mentioning that AWS re:Invent registration is open at the time of writing. We will be there, and we hope to see you there!
Uploading Files to Amazon S3
I blogged previously about downloading objects from Amazon S3 using the version 2 AWS SDK for Ruby. It was requested that I write about uploading objects as well.
Managed File Uploads
The simplest and most common task is upload a file from disk to a bucket in Amazon S3. This is very straightforward when using the resource interface for Amazon S3:
s3 = Aws::S3::Resource.new s3.bucket('bucket-name').object('key').upload_file('/source/file/path')
You can pass additional options to the
Resource constructor and to
#upload_file. This expanded example demonstrates configuring the resource client, uploading a public object and then generating a URL that can be used to download the object from a browser.
s3 = Aws::S3::Resource.new( credentials: Aws::Credentials.new('akid', 'secret'), region: 'us-west-1' ) obj = s3.bucket('bucket-name').object('key') obj.upload_file('/source/file/path', acl:'public-read') obj.public_url #=> "https://bucket-name.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/key"
This is the recommended method of using the SDK to upload files to a bucket. Using this approach has the following benefits:
- Manages multipart uploads for objects larger than 15MB.
- Correctly opens files in binary mode to avoid encoding issues.
- Uses multiple threads for uploading parts of large objects in parallel.
Other Methods
In addition to
Aws::S3::Object#upload_file, you can upload an object using
#put or using the multipart upload APIs.
PUT Object
For smaller objects, you may choose to use
#put instead. The
#put method accepts an optional body, which can be a string or any IO object.
obj = s3.bucket('bucket-name').object('key') # from a string obj.put(body:'Hello World!') # from an IO object File.open('/source/file', 'rb') do |file| obj.put(body:file) end
Multipart APIs
I recommend you use
#upload_file whenever possible. If you need to manage large object copies, then you will need to use the multipart interfaces. There are restrictions on the minimum file, and part sizes you should be aware of. Typically these are reserved for advanced use cases.
I'd love to hear feedback. If you find the AWS SDK for Ruby lacks a utility for working with Amazon S3, I'd love to hear about it. Please feel free to open a GitHub issue or drop into our Gitter channel.
Verifying Amazon SNS Message Authenticity
You can now use version 2 of the AWS SDK for Ruby to verify the signatures of Amazon SNS messages. To help prevent spoofing attacks, you should verify messages are sent by Amazon SNS.
The new verifier follows the documented best practices for verification, including:
- Always use HTTPS when getting the certificate from Amazon SNS.
- Validate the authenticity of the certificate.
- Verify the certificate was received from Amazon SNS.
Basic Usage
Usage is straightforward. Construct a message verifier and call one of two methods. The given message body should be the JSON document string of the message.
verifier = Aws::SNS::MessageVerifier.new verifier.authentic?(message_body) #=> returns true or false verifier.authenticate!(message_body) #=> returns true or raises a VerificationError
You can use one instance of
Aws::SNS::MessageVerifier.new to verify multiple messages.
As always, we love to hear your feedback. It helps us prioritize our development efforts. In fact, this feature was added by customer request. Feel free to join our Gitter channel or open a GitHub issue.

Ok that does it. From this day forward my husband, Chris, is no longer allowed out in the neighborhood!
The problem? I'm married to Ned Flanders! (Simpsons) Really … I am.
There is simply no neighbor that he won't stop and talk to. For hours at at times! I'd swear I've even heard him greet a few of our neighbors with "A hi diddly ho neighbor!". Seriously, Chris is Ned Flanders.
Earlier today, while I was upstairs having a shower, Chris must have taken the dog outside for a walk. Just as I was getting out of the shower I heard Chris come in the front door and he yelled up "Are you done with your shower" and I said just about – still wanting to do some after shower stuff like dry my hair etc. He told me that the parking people and police were on the street next to us – where we'd temporarily parked our car to allow some new neighbors to get their appliances into the house next store. So he was going to find out what was happening and move the car. (As it turned out a van was blocking the drive way of some other new neighbors who were trying to move into their new house.)
He had just let the dog in without putting her in her crate so I hurriedly dried myself off and came downstairs to watch the dog for a few minutes until Chris came back. Midnights a good dog, but she can quickly get her self into trouble if she's not watched!
He didn't come back for over an hour. Maybe an hour and a half. In that time while I was waiting for him (and my hair was air drying itself) I saw him outside talking to our next door neighbor (the one putting in new appliances) and later when I poked my head outside to try to find him (and froze!) I could hear him around the corner talking loudly to some other new neighbors that were just moving in.
At that point I was ready to tell him to bring the cell phone with him from now on whenever he went outside for just "a minute". I mean, this has been going on for years! I forgot to suggest it though.
So we get to this evening. I'm not feeling so hot and Chris suggested we get some take out food for dinner so I wouldn't have to cook. (see he's not all bad! LOL) He even took the cell phone with him when he went to take the dog for a short walk and then was going to take her with him when he went to the restaurant to pick up our food.
Well … that short dog walk was about 45 minutes! Yep, he was talking to neighbors again. He did manage to find one with a new puppy so at least Midnight got to play with another dog while he yakked. He had the cell phone with him but he didn't turn it on! I tried calling to tell him what takeout food I wanted as I'd changed my mind, but that was a no go.
When he finally came back to start up the car and drive to the restaurant he discovered that the car had about half an inch of frost INSIDE it! Probably his hot breath condensing on the glass from when he moved the car earlier.
So now the dog is inside with me keeping warm and he's finally off to the restaurant to pick up our take out food.
Now keep in mind that it's absolutely freezing outside today. This is a guy that can stand outside talking with people for over two full hours today at -13 Celsius (8.6 F), but really -20 Celsius (-4 F) with the windchill! Now that's cold. Think of how much time he spends outside talking on nice days?
Anyone else married to a "Howdy Neighbor" talkity talk kind of person that you always seem to be waiting for? Or do you have a friendly talkative neighbor who might be quite a bit like my Chris?
Don't get me wrong. Chris is a great guy and everyone he meets seems to really like him, but it's kind of frustrating on my end when I'm waiting for him to come back so I can serve dinner, go out shopping or simply dry my hair after being asked to quickly leave the shower! Arghhh!

The Hope Diamond is being used to fingerprint blue diamonds allowing scientists to identify the genuine ones from the artificial. While most blue diamonds continue to glowblue when placed under ultraviolet light, the Hope Diamond glows red. Research was conducted at the Smithsonian and Naval Research Laboratory and the findings are reported in the Geology journal.
Implications - During the recession, lab-grown and synthetic diamonds rose in popularity as an affordable alternative to mined diamonds. Accordingly, natural diamonds have risen in exclusivity. Since many lab-grown diamonds are nearly impossible to discern from natural diamonds, researchers are hoping to create tests to differentiate the two and enable jewelers to appraise fine diamonds more accurately.

A look at the man who plays the part in front of the movie camera…..
Mr. Hiddleston, 32, is a classically trained British actor of the most classic kind, and the latest in a long line of British performers to move with remarkable dexterity between Serious Theater and mass-market cinematic fame. (He also makes a fine contribution to the noble tradition of evil, soft-voiced British villains.)
His résumé is impeccable: He attended Eton, Cambridge University, then the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts — each on its own a notable producer of acting talent. He was a member of the celebrated Cheek by Jowl ensemble and recently portrayed both Prince Hal and Henry V in the BBC-PBS Shakespearean series "The Hollow Crown," to much critical acclaim. He has played F.
