This user is having high cpu usage with those proccesses. The computer is a Mac using OSX 10.7.
This is after reinstalling the ePo agent and the antivirus.
Might be better served in the "VirusScan Other" forum.
VirusScan Enterprise is a Windows product.
Is the High CPU usage happening always or in specific scenario/specific time?
It could be a DAT update during which the scanners are initialized again or it could some IO intensive task happening which is resulting in scanners working over-time.
By default you would see 3 VShieldScanner processes which serve the OAS functionality.
Additional Scanner processes can be seen for each ODS task.
You dont have to re-install the product in order to resolve this kind of issue.
Enabling the product debug logging (KB70802) would help in finding out what could be going on at that moment.
Check the EPO server and make sure you don't have overlaping polices, Our ISO did this to me accidentially.
I have been suffering as similar problem but in my case the number VShieldScanner scanner processes just keeps growing. It gets to roughly 1400 instances in the activity Viewer (or `ps -ax` list) over roughly a 24 hour period then my machine hangs and I can't open anything else (not even another Chrome tab to google abbout it) The only thing I can do is restart the machine.
Me too - after rebooting, the processes continue to grow, with few, if any ending, as the oldest date back to a few minutes after the box was rebooted.
I'm seeing exactly the same thing.
These entries are flooding the logs.
I have the same problem of hundreds of VShieldScanner processes starting over time until all memory is used up.
@mcafee: There must be a better solution, which one? What is the cause of the problem?
Can you confirm which version you have installed?

I go, no wonder why I got inspired to create my new copper jewelry collection. For some reason, when winter starts showing its presence and I have to change my wardrobe to warmer clothes, I always envision brown-beige overtones.
It's probably because winter is so white and cold, that I have the need to see warm, bright colors. My new collection is not finished yet, but I am getting so excited about it with every new piece of jewelry that I make, that I wanted to share it with the world.
I've been working on creating vintage look that complements the color of the copper. I take special pride in several pieces that I created.
The Copper earrings collection is starting to take shape as well. With unique and one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces such as the Copper and Amethyst Earrings, the Copper and Rose Quartz Flower Earrings, and my absolute favorite Copper and Aqua Earrings... I am still working on creating copper necklaces that will hold the same warm feeling of fire and sun.

Fundação e Império (Foundation and Empire) é um romance de ficção científica escrito por Isaac Asimov. É o segundo volume da clássica Trilogia Fundação na série Fundação. O livro foi publicado originalmente como duas histórias na revista Astounding Science Fiction. A Parte 1 apareceu na edição de abril de 1945 de Astounding como "Dead Hand", enquanto a Parte 2 apareceu nas edições de novembro de 1945 e dezembro de 1945 como "The Mule". Apesar de ser o segundo livro publicado é o quarto na cronologia do universo. A segunda parte, "The Mule", ganhou um Prêmio Retro Hugo em 1996.

Resumo do Enredo

O General
A primeira metade do livro, intitulada "O General", conta como o General Bel Riose do Império Galáctico coage a ajuda de um Siwenniano chamado Ducem Barr para confirmar as histórias sobre a Primeira Fundação. Depois de mais pesquisas, visitando o território da Primeira Fundação, Riose determina que eles são uma ameaça ao Império e declara guerra contra eles, tanto para cumprir seu dever para com o Império quanto para satisfazer sua busca pessoal pela glória.

Riose captura e interroga um mercador da Primeira Fundação chamado Lathan Devers, que revela a Barr que permitiu ser capturado para minar a operação de Riose por dentro. Devers é recebido por Ammel Brodrig, Secretário Privado do Imperador Cleon II que foi enviado para ficar de olho no general. Devers tenta implicar Riose em uma tentativa de derrubar o Cleon II, no entanto Brodrig muda de lado agora apoiando Riose. Barr nocauteia Riose antes que ele possa submeter Devers a um interrogatório mais eficaz e escapam na nave de Barr. Barr confessa a Devers que cooperou com Riose a fim de evitar a descoberta de uma rebelião Siwenniana planejada no caso do triunfo da Primeira Fundação sobre Riose.

Devers e Barr seguem para Trantor em uma última tentativa de colocar Cleon II contra Riose, envolvendo Riose em uma conspiração para derrubar Cleon com a ajuda de Brodrig. No entanto, em sua tentativa de subornar a cadeia da burocratas, eles são pegos em flagrante por um membro da Polícia Secreta, mas conseguem fugir do planeta antes de serem presos. Durante a fuga, eles interceptam notícias sobre a retirada e prisão de Bel Riose e Brodrig, o que leva à rebelião de Siwenna e ao fim da ameaça à Primeira Fundação.

Durante as festividades que comemoram a adesão de Siwenna à Primeira Fundação, Barr explica a Devers e ao príncipe mercador da Primeira Fundação, Sennet Forell, que o contexto social do Império tornou a vitória da Primeira Fundação inevitável, independentemente de quais ações eles e Bel Riose tomassem.

Somente um imperador e um general fortes poderiam ter ameaçado a Primeira Fundação. Caso o general fosse forte mas o imperador fraco, o general se voltaria para dentro do império para tomar o trono. Um imperador forte mais um general forte, forçaria o general a voltar sua atenção para a periferia do império, para novas conquistas. Entretanto um imperador só é forte por não permitir que súditos fortes prosperem, o que pode ameaça-lo, e o sucesso de Bel Riose o transformou em uma ameaça que Cleon II precisava eliminar. Com o Império se aproximando do fim e a Segunda Fundação não devendo ser encontrada até séculos depois, a Primeira Fundação não prevê mais oposição, no entanto, um conflito interno entre os príncipes mercadores da Primeira Fundação e os comerciantes é prenunciado.

Os personagens do imperador Cleon II e Bel Riose nesta história são baseados nos personagens do histórico imperador romano Justiniano I e seu general Belisarius. Sua história era familiar para Asimov da sua recente leitura de Robert Graves romance de Conde Belisário, e do seu estudo anterior de Edward Gibbon 's História do Declínio e Queda do Império Romano , no qual toda a série é baseada frouxamente.

"The General" foi publicado pela primeira vez na edição de abril de 1945 da Astounding Science Fiction sob o título "Dead Hand".

Resumo Detalhado

O General
(publicado em abril de 1945 como Dead Hand )

É 200 E.F Um jovem general do Império Galáctico (que agora está em seu colapso) com o nome de Bel Riose visita um nobre siweniano chamado Ducem Barr (filho de Onum Barr, que tinha sido visitado por Hober Mallow , décadas atrás), o único cidadão do Império que conhece a Primeira Fundação e a Periferia, para discutir histórias sobre "mágicos na orla da Galáxia", chamados de a Primeira Fundação. Barr mostra a ele o escudo pessoal dado a ele por Hober Mallow quarenta anos antes, e lhe fala sobre o velho vice-rei do setor normando. Riose não acredita nas lendas sobre a Fundação no início, mas depois decide visitá-la pessoalmente.

Cerca de meio ano depois, o governo da Primeira Fundação (que inclui Sennet Forell, filho ilegítimo de Hober Mallow) discute o que aconteceu. Riose os visitou e partiu, mas eles roubaram uma de suas naves e interrogaram a tripulação. O prefeito, que é descrito como um tolo, não está presente. Enquanto isso, Riose traz Barr até ele para falar com ele mais uma vez. Ele conta o que aconteceu e faz um acordo com ele. Ele precisa de Barr para ajudá-lo em um ataque à Fundação. Em troca de seus serviços, ele promete absolver o assassinato de Barr do falecido vice-rei do setor normando.

Em Trantor, o atual imperador, Cleon II, que sofre de uma curiosa doença não diagnosticada, é informado por seu assessor faminto por poder, Lorde Ammuel Brodig, que Riose enviou um pedido de mais naves e disse que ele é um dos generais mais populares. Cleon está zangado com o pedido, pensando que Riose já tem naves o suficiente, mas aceita mesmo assim. Riose então começa sua ofensiva contra a Fundação no planeta Wanda. O Mercador Lathan Devers permite-se ser capturado para saber mais sobre os planos de Riose, que o interroga, embora pouco revele no interrogatório. Devers então é mantido preso junto com Barr. Devers pede provas de que Barr é realmente o sexto filho de Onum Barr, que escapou do massacre de Brodig, que ordenou o massacre de metade da população masculina de Siwenna. Barr mostra a ele o escudo pessoal e Devers aceita isso como prova suficiente tornando-se amigos.

Lord Brodig é nomeado representante do Imperador e encontra-se com Riose em Wanda. Eles concordam que Brodig interrogue Devers ainda mais. O sargento Mori Luk avisa Devers e Barr sobre o interrogatório de Brodig e sobre como ele é implacável e todas as coisas horríveis que fez. Brodig suborna com Devers para obter informações e Devers revela a ele que a Fundação tem os segredos da transmutação dos elementos, em troca de grandes quantias de dinheiro (já que Brodig é mais rico que o próprio Imperador). Brodig diz que eles tentaram subornar o general com Iridium e que agora sua recusa faz mais sentido.

Mais tarde, quando Riose vem para escanear Barr e Devers com outra sonda psíquica, ele recebe uma cápsula de mensagem de Brodig. Barr o nocauteia com o busto do imperador enquanto ele está lendo e eles pegam sua arma e a mensagem. Eles matam Mori Luk, que os ataca, acreditando que eles mataram Riose ao ver seu blaster. Eles então escapam de Wanda na nave de Devers. A bordo, eles discutem um pouco. Devers pensa que eles podem usar as palavras de Brodig na mensagem sobre "fins finais" para enganar o Imperador, fabricando evidências da suposta traição de Riose e Brodrig para encerrar a guerra com sua execução. Barr discorda. No final, eles concordam em ir a Trantor para confrontá-lo.

Em Trantor, eles começam sua tentativa de conseguir uma audiência com o Imperador. Devers suborna um oficial com o dinheiro que recebeu de Brodig para deixá-lo entrar sem identidade. Eles finalmente alcançam um comissário e exigem uma audiência com o imperador. Eles tentam negociar com ele para obtê-lo, mas ele revela que é um tenente da polícia disfarçado e atira em Barr, mas ele tem um escudo pessoal de Siwenna e mata o comissário. Eles fogem de Trantor, embora Devers agarre um jornal ao sair. Acontece que Cleon II convocou Riose e Brodig de qualquer maneira e acabou com a guerra.

Eles retornam à Fundação e Siwenna se torna o primeiro planeta a deixar a jurisdição do Império e se tornar um planeta controlado pela Fundação . Barr fala com Sennet Forell em Terminus, explicando a ele que, dado o estado de decadência do Império, qualquer combinação de General e Imperador estava fadada ao fracasso, já que nenhum Imperador poderia se dar ao luxo de ser destronado por um General muito bem sucedido e popular, nem correr o risco de liderar um faça campanha para si mesmo e deixe Trantor enquanto seus rivais planejam sua morte. Ele menciona a Segunda Fundação, mas Forell o dispensa. Barr então apresenta inimigos internos que não gostariam que a riqueza deixasse as mãos daqueles que trabalham para ela. A história termina aqui.

O Mulo
Cerca de cem anos depois, o Império deixou de existir tanto no nome quanto na realidade, Trantor tendo sido saqueado por uma "frota bárbara". A Fundação se tornou a potência dominante na galáxia, controlando sua região por meio de sua rede de comércio. Infelizmente, a liderança da Fundação degenerou: o prefeito de Terminus é Indbur III, o neto ineficaz de um homem forte que tomou o poder e instituiu o governo hereditário.

Além dessa corrupção interna, uma ameaça externa surge na forma de um homem misterioso que é conhecido apenas como O Mulo . O Mulo, cujo nome real nunca é revelado, é uma aberração mental e possui a habilidade de sentir e manipular as emoções dos outros. Ele usa essa capacidade para assumir o controle dos sistemas independentes que fazem fronteira com a Fundação e os faz travar uma guerra contra a Fundação.

Enquanto seus vassalos conduzem a guerra, o Mulo viaja sob o disfarce de um palhaço refugiado chamado "Magnifico Giganticus" com os cidadãos da Fundação Toran Darell e Bayta Darell para diferentes mundos da Fundação. Ele usa suas habilidades para minar o esforço de guerra da Fundação, espalhando desespero e destruindo o moral. No final, a Fundação cai sem muita luta.

Ainda disfarçado de palhaço refugiado, ele viaja com os Darell, junto com o psicólogo Ebling Mis , para a Biblioteca Imperial de Trantor. Os Darells e Mis procuram entrar em contato com a Segunda Fundação , que eles acreditam ser capaz de derrotar o Mulo. O Mulo, por outro lado, deseja saber a localização da Segunda Fundação para que ele possa usar a tecnologia da Primeira Fundação para destruí-la.

Enquanto está na Grande Biblioteca, o Mulo secretamente estimula a mente de Ebling Mis, permitindo-lhe fazer descobertas poderosas. Infelizmente para Mis, as ações do Mulo fazem com que sua saúde se deteriore muito rapidamente. Enquanto Mis está morrendo, ele diz a Toran, Bayta e o Mulo que sabe onde está a Segunda Fundação. Pouco antes de revelar a localização da Segunda Fundação, no entanto, Bayta o mata, tendo percebido pouco antes que o palhaço renegado era na verdade a Mulo, matando Mis para impedi-lo de revelar o paradeiro da Segunda Fundação para o Mulo. Derrotado, o Mulo deixa os Darells em Trantor para ir e reinar sobre a Fundação e o resto de seu novo império.

Resumo Detalhado

O Mulo
(publicado em novembro e dezembro de 1945 como The Mule )

A segunda metade do livro, intitulada "O Mulo", ocorre aproximadamente cem anos após a primeira metade. O Império, após sua fase final de declínio e guerra civil, deixou de existir, Trantor sofreu "O Grande Saque" por uma "frota bárbara", e apenas um pequeno estado de 20 planetas agrícolas permanece. A maior parte da civilização galáctica se desintegrou em reinos bárbaros.

A Fundação se tornou a potência dominante na galáxia, controlando seu território por meio de sua rede comercial. O esboço do Plano Seldon se tornou amplamente conhecido, e os fundacionistas e muitos outros acreditam que, como previu eventos anteriores com precisão, a formação de um Segundo Império pela Fundação é inevitável. A liderança da Fundação tornou-se ditatorial e complacente, e muitos planetas externos pertencentes aos Mercadores planejam se revoltar.

Uma ameaça externa surge na forma de um homem misterioso conhecido apenas como O Mulo. O Mulo (cujo nome real nunca é revelado) é um mutante e possui a habilidade de sentir e manipular as emoções dos outros, geralmente criando medo e / ou devoção total em suas vítimas. Ele usa essa capacidade para assumir o controle dos sistemas independentes que fazem fronteira com a Fundação e os faz travar uma guerra contra ela. Diante desta nova ameaça, os comerciantes provinciais se unem aos líderes da Fundação central contra o Mulo, acreditando que ele seja a nova crise de Seldon.

Conforme o Mulo avança, os líderes da Fundação assumem que Seldon previu este ataque, e que o aparecimento da mensagem de crise do holograma programado de Seldon irá novamente lhes dizer como vencer. Para sua surpresa, eles descobrem que Seldon previu uma guerra civil com os Mercadores, não a ascensão do Mulo. A fita para de repente quando Terminus perde toda a força em um ataque do Mulo, e a Fundação cai.

Os cidadãos da Fundação Toran e Bayta Darell, junto com o psicólogo Ebling Mis e "Magnifico", um palhaço que foge do serviço do Mulo, viajam para diferentes mundos da Fundação, e finalmente para a Grande Biblioteca de Trantor. Os Darells e Mis procuram entrar em contato com a Segunda Fundação, que eles acreditam ser capaz de derrotar o Mulo. Eles também têm suspeitas de que o Mulo deseja saber a localização da Segunda Fundação, para que ele possa destruí-la, e assim controlar toda a galaxia.

Na Grande Biblioteca, Ebling Mis trabalha continuamente até que sua saúde se deteriore fatalmente. Enquanto Mis está morrendo, ele diz a Toran, Bayta e Magnifico que sabe onde está a Segunda Fundação. Antes que ele pudesse revelar a localização da Segunda Fundação, no entanto, Bayta o mata. Bayta percebeu, pouco antes, que Magnifico era na verdade o Mulo, que havia usado seus poderes em todos os planetas que haviam visitado anteriormente. Da mesma forma, ele forçou Mis a continuar trabalhando e encontrar o que o Mulo estava procurando. Bayta matou Mis para impedi-lo de revelar o paradeiro da Segunda Fundação ao Mulo.

Os Darells são deixados em Trantor. O Mulo sai para reinar sobre a Fundação e o resto de seu novo império. A existência da Segunda Fundação, como uma organização centrada na ciência da psicologia, em contraste com o foco da Fundação nas ciências físicas, é agora conhecida pelos Darells e pelo Mulo. Agora que o Mulo conquistou a Fundação, ele se destaca como a força mais poderosa da galáxia, e a Segunda Fundação é a única ameaça ao seu domínio sobre toda a galáxia. O Mulo promete que encontrará a Segunda Fundação.

"The Mule" foi publicado pela primeira vez com esse título nas edições de novembro e dezembro de 1945 da Astounding Science Fiction .

Recepção
Groff Conklin descreveu a Fundação e o Império como "uma bela aventura galáctica fanfarrona [baseada] em um pensamento político-social extremamente obstinado, científico e maduro". Boucher e McComas , no entanto, declaram que "Qualquer pessoa com um conhecimento concordante de Gibbon, Breasted ou Prescott não encontrará novos conceitos [aqui], exceto os totalmente incompreensíveis contidos na própria ciência pessoal do autor de 'psico-história'."

Em 1996, "The Mule" recebeu retrospectivamente o Prêmio Hugo de melhor romance de 1945. A trilogia Foundation , da qual Foundation e Empire é o segundo livro, ganhou o Prêmio Hugo em 1966 de Melhor Série de Todos os Tempos.

O Visi-Sonor inspirou o Holofonor, um instrumento semelhante que aparece várias vezes no desenho animado Futurama.

Os Romances de Asimov Ambientados No Universo De Robôs / Império / Fundação
O prefácio de Prelúdio à Fundação contém a ordem cronológica dos livros de ficção científica de Asimov. Asimov afirmou que os livros de sua Série Robôs, Império e Fundação "oferecem uma espécie de história do futuro, que talvez não seja completamente consistente, já que eu não planejei consistência para começar". Asimov também observou que os livros em sua lista "não foram escritos na ordem em que (talvez) deveriam ser lidos".

Q: QSocketNotifier opened on a FIFO keeps firing even if I read everything In my code I open a FIFO (created with mkfifo) and then I proceed to use a QSocketNotifier to receive notifications of incoming data, to read it while it arrives.
// create the FIFO
if(!mkfifo(SERIAL_FIFO, 0600)) {
    // nonblocking open (even open itself would block until a first write)
    in_fifo = ::open(SERIAL_FIFO, O_RDONLY | O_NONBLOCK);
    if(in_fifo >= 0) {
        // create notifier
        in_fifo_notifier = new QSocketNotifier(in_fifo, QSocketNotifier::Read, this);
        connect(&*in_fifo_notifier, &QSocketNotifier::activated,
                this, [this](QSocketDescriptor /*socket*/, QSocketNotifier::Type /*type*/){
            // copy all the available data
            char buf[4096];
            for(;;) {
                ssize_t rl = ::read(in_fifo, buf, sizeof(buf));
                if(rl <= 0) break;
                ::write(out_fd, buf, rl);
            }
        });
    }

The problem is that, whenever someone writes on the other end of the pipe, the signal keeps getting activated (with associated 100% CPU usage), even though every time I read all the data. Where's the problem?

A: Ultimately, this is just a variation over the problem described here, as Qt under the hood uses select/epoll machinery to implement QSocketNotifier. Opening the FIFO as O_RDWR fixes the problem.

MEMORIES: 17 years on, the fire that destroyed 133-year-old Morgan Academy building
by Lindsey Hamilton
The fire at Braeview Academy on Tuesday night was not the first time that a Dundee school has been devastated by fire.
The fire at Morgan Academy fin 2001
On March 21 2001, a blaze ripped through Morgan Academy (pictured) destroying the 133-year-old building and leaving the school needing a £20 million rebuild.
It was one of Dundee's most devastating fires in living memory and could be seen from across the Tay.
There were windy conditions, similar to Tuesday night, that helped the flames spread quickly, with much of the main school building destroyed within hours.
Just before 8pm, the school's iconic clock tower collapsed despite the best efforts of about 70 firefighters.
By 11pm, fire crews finally managed to bring the blaze under control.
Pupils from the school were housed at the former Rockwell High building while the academy was fully rebuilt.
The refurbished secondary opened three years after the fire at the start of the 2004/5 term.
Remarkably, no one was hurt in the blaze which was caused by blowtorches being used by tradesmen working on the roof space.
According to an investigation report, workmen had been forced to use fire extinguishers twice during the day of the fire.

Decisions: Nov. 7, 2007
4:00 AM PST 11/6/2007 by Empty , AP
New trial ordered over Tom Leykis claim
Case: Carpenter v. Westwood One
Court: Alaska Supreme Court
Date: Oct. 26
Facts: "Shock" radio host Tom Leykis read a listener's complaint letter on the air, while interjecting derogatory and sexually explicit remarks about the listener, Karen Carpenter. (Leykis said, among other things, "Maybe if this woman had gotten laid in the last 50 years ... she wouldn't be complaining so much." A trial judge summarily dismissed Carpenter's defamation and false light privacy claims and a jury found for Leykis and his producer, Westwood One, on emotional distress and "intrusion upon seclusion" claims. Carpenter was awarded $5,042 in compensatory damages and $150,000 in punitive damages against Westwood One for intentional destruction of the tape of the show.
Holding: The court affirmed the summary judgment ruling, finding that Leykis stated opinions not facts. But it ordered a new trial because of instructional error on the claim that Leykis inflicted emotional distress on Carpenter by inviting his listeners to harass her and make her life a "living hell." "(T)here was sufficient evidence to permit a jury to find that Leykis's words in issuing his so-called 'call-to-arms' departed from the bounds of protected speech," the lead opinion said.
Attorneys of Record: Ray Brown and Linda O'Bannon of Dillon & Findley in Anchorage, Alaska, and Jack McGee of Juneau, Alaska, for Carpenter; Leslie Longenbaugh and Merrill Lowden of Simpson Tillinghast Sorensen & Longenbaugh in Juneau, Alaska, for Westwood One and Leykis.

Diddy denied new trial
Case: Bridgeport Music v. Justin Combs Publishing
Court: 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
Facts: The title song of late rapper Notorious B.I.G.'s 1994 album "Ready to Die" included a sample from the song "Singing in the Morning," released by the funk group the Ohio Players in 1972. Bad Boy Records, the label founded by Sean "Diddy" Combs, had not obtained a license to use "Singing in the Morning" so the song's copyright holders, Bridgeport Music and Westbound Records, sued for infringement. A jury awarded $733,878 in damages to Bridgeport and punitive damages to Westbound of $3.5 million. The trial judge modified the verdict, ruling that Bridgeport should receive $150,000 in statutory damages and Westbound should receive $366,939 in actual damages.
Holding: The court denied a new trial on liability, finding the jury was not prejudiced by plaintiffs' counsel, who said of the defendants in closing arguments, "This is a joke. They think they can come down here to Nashville, Tenn., and pull a fast one on the six of you." But it said the verdict improperly included prejudgment and compound interest and the "Defendant's conduct was not so excessive as to justify a $3.5 million punitive damage award."
Attorneys: Jay Bowen of Bowen Riley Warnock & Jacobson in Nashville for Bridgeport Music and Westbound Records; Richard Busch of King & Ballow in Nashville for Bad Boy Records and Universal Records.

Who can be compared with you, O Lord, among the gods? *

You stretched forth your right hand; *

Let's Encrypt is great. Let's hope it really breaks trough. Their abuse prevention is really limited, I've used similar methods. But I think it's very reasonable attempt to prevent abuse. Yet as said, it'll fail. Main problem is that people don't understand what SSL/TLS / lock means. It doesn't actually really much mean anything at all, especially with DV certs. Well, you don't need to trust CAs if you don't want to. For high security sites, I'm using public key hash check and I totally ignore the more or less useless certificate. So in that sense, self-signed is much more reliable than 'trusted via CA' certs. If personally know who sent the key, and I've verified out of band that it's the right one. Then I prefer trusting the key instead of some 3rd party claiming it being authentic. Here's Let's Encrypts article about Phishing and Malware and CA's role.

Efficient compact storage, great performance and relations so that data can be actually pruned from database without causing any major problems. I've seen so many cases where relational database is designed in a such way that pruning data can't be practically done, because primary keys or database record IDs are linked with other data so badly that it would be simply too hard. That's something which needs to be accounted for when creating the database. Statistics data also needs to be purposefully non-linked, so it can be saved and works perfectly even if rest of the data structures have been removed from the database.

And date and timeformats and units. Could we fit in same document milliseconds, seconds, weeks, days, hours, some field with UTC time and some with time and timezone. Options are endless. How about inventing our own number formats? Like decimals must be prefixed with sign like -/+ and then 12 digits and two decimals, without separator.

Rugby League news: Stevie Ward retires, Liam Sutcliffe latest, Cameron Smith speculation, Championship pre-season halted

The country has entered yet another lockdown but elite sport has been given the green light to continue, meaning little has changed for Super League clubs as they prepare for the new campaign.
It is a difficult time for everybody at the moment but the positive from the lockdown - alongside the vaccine rollout - is the country could be in a much better situation when the rugby league season begins.
We'll bring the latest from clubs that have started pre-season and keep you across the top stories elsewhere in the sport, including breaking news from the NRL.

Championship and League One clubs advised to pause pre-season plans
The Prime Minister's announcement of a new National Lockdown for England on Monday night will impact on Rugby League, as all other sports and sections of society, in a number of ways.
Community Rugby League, which had been due to resume at Youth and Open Age level in January, is now required to be suspended under Government rules.
The RFL will be contacting Community Clubs and whilst recognising that the priority remains the public health emergency, will continue to stress to Government, working with other sports, the importance of team sports in terms of the nation's mental and physical fitness, and the importance of Community Clubs in terms of social cohesion – and will work towards a return of training then competitions as soon as possible this spring.
The RFL has advised clubs in Betfred Championship and League 1 to pause their pre-season training programmes for the next two weeks, in recognition of the national crisis, and with more than seven weeks until the scheduled start of the 2021 season.
This will allow detailed discussions with clubs, before the publication of fixtures – which will be delayed, as will the draw for the first two rounds of the Challenge Cup, until a further announcement later this month.
Academy and Scholarship programmes will also be suspended, and Betfred Women's Super League clubs will also be advised to pause their pre-season training programmes – although it is hoped the England Women and Wheelchair squads will continue with their training camps in January and February as previously scheduled.
Nice tribute
Stevie Ward retires aged 27
Leeds Rhinos skipper Stevie Ward has announced his retirement from rugby league at the age of 27.
The captain has struggled with the lasting effects of concussion over the last year and he has decided to call time on his career for the good of his health.
"I have come to the conclusion, after over 11 months of severe symptoms, that I need to give this injury the respect and time it deserves and cannot put my health and brain to any further risk and detriment," he said.
"On a daily basis, I struggle with migraines, dizziness, motion sickness, sensitivity to light and screens, short-term memory issues, slurred speech, and an inability to exercise or do daily tasks without irritating my symptoms.
"I love the game of rugby league. I am immensely proud to have competed on some of the biggest stages next to childhood heroes and test myself to the absolute limit while feeling the incredible buzz from the Leeds fans after being one myself as a youngster.
"I thank every player that I have played with and against, and I am especially grateful for the incredible friendships the sport has given me."

Potential solution to headache
As the country entered another lockdown, Super League clubs were given the green light to continue with pre-season training ahead of the start of the campaign in March.
Elite sportspeople and coaches are still allowed to train and compete, which is good news for Hull KR and their supporters as the club prepare for the new season.
Rovers are working towards a March 11 start until told otherwise, with Tony Smith's squad in their second week of pre-season, minus Albert Vete and Brad Takairangi who are awaiting their visas.
Smith and his staff have been easing the players back in after two months off but the KR head coach is already thinking about how to get the best out of his squad.

Two Hull FC players named amongst favourites to be Super League's top tryscorer in 2021
Hull FC wingers Adam Swift and Bureta Faraimo have been named among the bookmakers' favourites to top the Super League's tryscoring charts in 2021.
The pair scored eight league tries between them in a disrupted 2020 season as the Black and Whites struggled for form throughout large spells for the campaign.
Faraimo was one of the club's most improved players last season, particularly after the restart as he made huge strides under Andy Last, but he had to wait until October for his first try of the year before going on to cross five times in the club's final five games of the season.

Reynolds touches down
Sutcliffe confirms Rhinos contract talks
Liam Sutcliffe handed in a transfer request last summer but it is looking increasingly likely that he will stay at Leeds Rhinos beyond this year.
The versatile 26-year-old, who made his Super League debut for the Rhinos in 2013, is under contract until the end of the 2021 season.
He has confirmed he is in talks with the club over extending his stay.

"There is stuff going on in the background, we keep chatting most weeks," Sutcliffe was quoted as saying by the Yorkshire Evening Post.
"Whatever happens will happen and I am sure it will get resolved at some point.
"My agent is dealing with some stuff for me in the background, I have kind of left it to him."
Holbrook on Smith link
Cameron Smith's future has dominated the NRL off-season and uncertainty remains over what he will do next.
The 37-year-old's contract expired at the end of the 2020 season and it appeared as if he would retire after leading Melbourne Storm to Grand Final glory.
But Smith has yet to confirm either way and continues to be the source of speculation, with Gold Coast Titans linked with a move for the former Australia hooker.
However, Titans head coach Justin Holbrook has poured cold water on the rumour.
"I don't think anyone (at the club) has spoken to him," Holbrook told the Australian media.
"I haven't got a further update on Cam Smith. We haven't planned on having him here.

"Everyone talks about the convenience of it, the fact he's living here and the kids are going to school here. I understand the heavy speculation around it but that's all it is.
"I can't tell you anything. I've never spoken to him.
"I'm happy with who we've got, but if things change and all of a sudden he's desperate to play and we can fit him in then we'll have a conversation.
"At the moment, the fact I haven't spoken to him shows I'm okay with who we've got. If it changes it changes, but I've got no plan on it changing."
Sport to continue
Elite sports with testing regimes and bubbles in place such as football and rugby will be allowed to continue despite Prime Minister Boris Johnson announcing a new national lockdown on Monday evening.
England has fallen in line with Scotland, who earlier on Monday said their football and rugby clubs can carry on training and playing as normal after introducing new restrictions for the general public north of the border.
Elite sportspeople and their coaches if necessary will still be able to compete and train.
It means Hull City will be able to carry on their League One promotion chase throughout January and February, while Super League clubs will be allowed to continue with pre-season training ahead of the start of the season in March.

Smith has some tricks up his sleeve
Tony Smith has raised the prospect of Jez Litten playing in the halves for Hull KR next season as he works out the best way to utilise his two hookers.
Litten and Matt Parcell were two of KR's better performers last year, providing a threat from dummy-half despite playing behind a struggling pack.
After only being able to name the pair in the same 17 twice in 2020 due to injuries, Smith is hoping to have a nice problem this year.
Litten and Parcell appeared on the field together when they were fit at the same time and that could be a regular occurrence in the 2021 campaign.

FC are back in the swing
Brett Hodgson will have jumped out of bed with excitement on Monday morning.
The new Hull FC head coach welcomed his players into training for the very first time yesterday as the Black and Whites got 2021 underway.
He won't be a stranger to his players with Hodgson making the effort to speak to every member of his playing group either in person or over the phone before Christmas, but Monday was the first time Hodgson has seen his full squad at the club's County Road training ground.
Hodgson has spent weeks thinking about pre-season and the weeks and months ahead and now he is finally able to put those plans into practise.

And so, my experience, while limited to a sample space of one, was certainly positive. Could I have found a cheaper deal on a car from a private seller? Sure. Probably. But how much effort and time would I have expended to research, shop, negotiate and acquire that deal? Would that deal have come with a no-questions-asked week long guarantee? A 10-day warranty? No and no.
