Canada's recent political tensions with its neighbor south of the border have given some historians a déjà vu moment. A 19th century petition was uncovered from Toronto Public Library's archives, demonstrating Toronto's firm determination to resist annexation to the U.S. This movement was outlined in the Montreal Annexation Manifesto of 1849. The Agenda invites historians Adam Bunch and Dominique Marshall to help us understand what we can learn from the past.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this deeply personal and eye-opening episode, Majeed Mogharreban sits down with Hyatt Saikin, a master Rolfer and structural integration expert based in Ottawa, Canada. After battling debilitating sciatic pain and trying everything from massage therapy to chiropractic and acupuncture—with no relief—Majeed shares how just three sessions of Rolfing® with Hyatt got him standing straight and living nearly pain-free. Together, they explore the power of fascia, the importance of postural alignment, and how Rolfing® can help the body move with ease, grace, and freedom from pain. Hyatt brings his decades of experience and a compassionate approach to healing, helping people get out of pain and back into their lives. Key Takeaways ✅ What Is Rolfing®? – A hands-on therapy focused on reorganizing the connective tissue (fascia) to restore balance and ease in the body. ✅ Fascia: The Missing Link in Pain Relief – This network of tissue surrounds every muscle and organ, and when it's restricted, it can cause widespread pain and dysfunction. ✅ Why Your Pain Might Not Be “Muscular” or “Skeletal” – Discover how fascial adhesion could be the real culprit—and why traditional massage and chiropractic care often miss the mark. ✅ Release, Don't Force – Rolfing helps guide the body back into alignment through trained, precise, and often gentle touch that releases and rehydrates fascia. ✅ Gravity Is Your Friend—If You Know How to Stand – Hyatt explains how posture affects pain, mobility, and energy, and how to let gravity flow through you instead of work against you.

Episode 334: In this episode, we look at a tragic case of domestic violence that shook the small community of New Germany, Nova Scotia. On June 30, 2010, the quiet parking lot of a local grocery store became the scene of a horrific crime that would forever change the lives of the Eisnor family. Wayne Paul Eisnor, driven by jealousy and an unwillingness to let go, confronted his estranged wife, Tina Mae Illingworth-Eisnor, as she sat in her van. In a shocking act of violence that unfolded in broad daylight, Wayne shot Tina twice in the head, ending her life and then turned the gun on himself. Wayne, although he suffered brain damage, survived his wound. Here, we explore the events leading up to this devastating moment, the aftermath of the shooting, and the complex legal proceedings that followed, including Wayne's claims of amnesia, shedding light on a case that left a community in disbelief and a family deeply torn.

The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: Ahead of Friday testimony from his chief of staff on foreign election interference, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he and Katie Telford have talked about the issue "many" times over the years. What do we expect today? GUEST: Richard Brennan, Former Journalist with The Toronto Star covering both Queen's Park and Parliament Hill - In the 1970s, three quarters of Swedish homes were heated with oil boilers. Today, electric-powered heat pumps have all but replaced oil in single-family homes (most multi-family homes rely on district heating). That has driven greenhouse gas emissions from oil heating of buildings down 95 per cent since 1990, according to the Swedish Energy Agency, said Martin Forsén a Swedish heating industry veteran and president of the European Heat Pump Association. So how did that happen? And are there lessons for Canada's transition away from fossil heating?

Episode 258: On the morning of February 20, 1989, stay-at-home mother of two Janice Faye Johnson was found unconscious, gravely injured and barely clinging to life at the foot of a flight of basement stairs in the Shelburne, Nova Scotia home she shared with her family, Clayton Norman Johnson and daughters Darla and Dawn. Even though she was still alive when she was found by a neighbour, who called for an ambulance immediately, Janice died in the hospital just after noon that day. More than three years after her death, police arrested Janice's husband, Clayton, a high school industrial arts teacher, and charged him with first-degree murder. Consistently maintaining his innocence throughout subsequent proceedings, on May 4, 1993, Clayton was found guilty of the first-degree murder of his wife. He was later sentenced to life in prison — his appeals, citing spurious forensic evidence, were rejected. He spent the next five years in prison.

This is the third episode in a weeklong collaboration between The Big Story and The Narwhal, an award-winning non-profit publication that provides in-depth coverage of climate issues across Canada.More than 200 million people could be displaced from their homes worldwide in the next few decades as extreme weather events become more frequent and intense. The biggest climate change risk in Canada? Flooding. Just last year, floods in B.C. wiped out roads, killed five people and left thousands stranded without food and water. In the Prairies, reporter Drew Anderson talked to people in the tiny, flood-prone community of Lehigh, Alta., who are being bought out of their homes before rising waters destroy them. Government reports say that Canadians need to learn to live with water — but what exactly does that mean?GUEST: Drew Anderson, Narwhal's Prairies reporter, based in CalgaryYou can read Drew's story, “This was our forever home”: floods, climate change and the end of one Alberta community, here.Read more of Drew's stories here.

It's a trend extending beyond Jewry, beyond Canada, but persists in our nation nonetheless: younger people are donating less than their parents' generation, and when they do get involved in philanthropy, they're doing it differently. Several Jewish organizations have taken up the mantle to try and engage younger donors, and this week, an episode of The CJN Daily spotlit the recent Canadian expansion of the Jewish Future Pledge, which aims to get Jews to promise a certain percentage of charitable donations in their wills to Jewish causes. To better understand the realities of giving Jewishly, we're joined by two organizers in the space: Mark Silberman is the chair of the Jewish Future Pledge in Atlanta, and Danielle Segal is the program director for Honeycomb, a resource for Jewish youth philanthropy. Plus, recurring guest David Koffman speaks about the life and impact of the late Irving Abella, who passed away this week, and our weekly nachas segment gives a shout-out the Jewish connections to the new Minions movie.

We found some issues due to a last minute change, we rolled out a 5.5.1 patch yesterday, that seems to solve that initial issue.https://www.ortussolutions.com/products/commandboxCommandBox Docker v3.5.0 Images ReleasedToday we are pleased to announce the release of version 3.5.0 of our CommandBox Docker images, which contains significant upgrades to the underlying CommandBox engine.Most significantly, this release upgrades the CommandBox binary to 5.5.1, which uses Lucee 5.3.9 as the underlying CFML engine. In addition, this release changes the underlying base image over to use the eclipse-temurin image builds, as the adoptopenjdk builds are being sunsetted. With this change, the underlying Debian version changes to use Ubuntu 20.0.0 (focal). As such, some custom installs in Dockerfiles may need updates to available packages from this distro.https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/commandbox-docker-v350-images-released ColdBox Elixir v4 ReleasedHot off the presses, ColdBox Elixir v4 is now available on NPM. This is a massive upgrade under the hood, but it shouldn't require any API changes if you are using just Elixir methods.

And, as I've become more experienced as a software engineer, I've begun to lean more heavily on the database as a means to enforce data integrity (with UNIQUE KEY constraints) and to drive idempotent workflows. That said, I'm still trying to figure out where in the software stack it makes sense to put all the finer details. As such, I wanted to take a moment and consider my options for handling key conflicts in MySQL and Lucee CFML.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4259-considering-approaches-to-handling-mysql-key-conflicts-in-lucee-cfml.htm 5/3/22 - Blog - Peter Amiri - CFWheels - CFWheels 2.3.0-rc.1 ReleasedThis version has been cooking for a while and there have been many contributors.

I wrote an article about developing the first iterationof this as a TDD exercise six or so months ago: "TDD: writing a micro testing framework, using the framework to test itself as I build it". I use this framework on trycf.com, so I can include tests in my code samples. The first iteration of this only had the one toBe matcher, and yesterday I decided to add in toBeTrue, toBeFalse and toThrow: just to make my sample code on trycf a bit clearerhttps://blog.adamcameron.me/2022/05/cfml-with-lucee-true-isnt-necessarily.html 5/2/22 - Blog - Eric Peterson - Ortus Solutions - ColdBox Elixir v4 ReleasedHot off the presses, ColdBox Elixir v4 is now available on NPM. This is a massive upgrade under the hood, but it shouldn't require any API changes if you are using just Elixir methods. (If you are customizing Webpack directly, you may need to make additional changes.) Please check out the Migration Guide for help upgrading.https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/coldbox-elixir-v4-released/ 5/2/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - For Consideration: An ArrayFrom() Function In ColdFusionIn my previous post, I took a look at the Array.sublist() method in ColdFusion; and, demonstrated that in order to use it safely you have to create a copy of the .sublist() result. This got me thinking about JavaScript and the Array.from() method. The Array.from() method allows you to create shallow copies of other arrays and Array-like values. Would it be worth having something like an arrayFrom() built-in function (BIF) in ColdFusion? https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4258-for-consideration-an-arrayfrom-function-in-coldfusion.htm 5/2/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Safely Using Array.sublist() To Generate Slices In Lucee CFMLThe other day, in the comments of my post on the performance overhead of arraySlice() in Lucee CFML, Brad Wood mentioned that it would be much faster to dip down into the Java layer and use ArrayList.sublist(). But then, in the comments of the Lucee Jira ticket, Pothys Ravichandran cautioned that .sublist() actually returns a wrapper to the original array, not a new array. As such, mutating the results of the .sublist() call would not be safe. That said, we can easily generate a new ColdFusion array from the .sublist() result in Lucee CFML to keep things running smoothly.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4257-safely-using-array-sublist-to-generate-slices-in-lucee-cfml.htm 5/1/22 - Tweet - Scott Steinbeck - CFDocs GoodiesSome goodies added to cfdocs.com #cfml #lucee #Opensource https://t.co/v5DYIuconu https://t.co/N0RFWu8O4R https://t.co/iy4aVkGFwnhttps://t.co/mrwULlbWoh https://twitter.com/uniquetrio2000/status/1520548007157985280 https://twitter.com/uniquetrio20004/29/22 - Blog - Peter Amiri - CFWheels - CFWheels Fully Embraces ForgeBox PackagesAs you may know, many years ago CFWheels embraced the distribution of Plugins via ForgeBox packages instead of maintaining our own directory. But the framework itself remains illusive. There was some work done in the last few months to put up packages for the framework but those packages were being maintained by hand which made them a show stopper for a long term solution.Well, thanks to a new CI workflow based on GitHub Actions we now have the building and publishing of the packages fully automated. Giving credit where credit is due, the new workflow borrows heavily from the ColdBox workflow. It used GitHub Actions, Ant, and CommandBox to automate the process.https://cfwheels.org/blog/cfwheels-fully-embraces-forgebox-packages/ 4/27/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - R.O.P.E. And Battling Post-Deployment DepressionYesterday morning, I enabled a feature-flag in production that quietly released a new feature to all of our InVision customers. This was the culmination of a week's worth of incremental builds and deployments. And while a week doesn't sound like a long time, every day leading up to it was exciting—every line of code that I wrote was exhilarating. And when it all finally went live, I was dropping party parrot and rocket ship emojis all over the place! But, when the dust settled, the post-deployment depression set in. As it always does.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4256-r-o-p-e-and-battling-post-deployment-depression.htm 4/27/22 - Blog - Gavin Pickin - Ortus Solutions - New Dates for Into the Box 2022 and Why we changed themOrtus Solutions is happy to announce we have new finalized dates for Into the Box 2022 and the venue.

There are clears benefits and drawbacks to wearing a lot of hats. Knowing a little bit about a lot of things can cut down on communication overhead and enable teams to move faster. But, without specialization, solutions will almost certainly be sub-optimal; and, "best practices" may not even be known to the engineer. Ideally, a team should consistent of both generalists and subject-matter experts (SME). This kind of balance creates a "healthy tension" that tempers perfectionism with pragmatism and keeps everyone moving forward at the right pace...https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4255-working-code-podcast-episode-72-wearing-too-many-hats.htm CFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 75  ColdFusion positions from 43 companies across 36 locations in 5 Countries.0 new jobs listed this weekOther Job Links Ortus Solutionshttps://www.ortussolutions.com/about-us/careers Consortium Inchttps://www.dice.com/jobs/detail/-/10183574/7322396 Senior Application Developer UK with Easy Direct Debitshttps://www.easydirectdebits.co.uk/job/senior-application-developer-uk/ You'll be working with Adam Cameron https://blog.adamcameron.me/2022/05/work-with-me-here-revisited.html There is a jobs channel in the cfml slack team, and in the box team slack now too ForgeBox Module of the WeekCFWheels - EverythingCFWheels removed a couple of their old packages, changed things up and re-deployed all of their packages again.

Into the Box 2022 will be hosted in Houston Texas, Tuesday September 6th through Thursday September 8th, 2022. The conference will be at a new venue, the Houston CityPlace Marriott at Springwoods Village.Adobe semi officially announced their dates (still un-official at the time of writing this post) and they were close, back to back weeks at the end of September/October. We felt like the ColdFusion community deserves more in person conferences, ColdFusion Community members need the opportunity to speak and or attend more in person coldfusion conferences. If we left the conferences back to back with only a travel day/weekend in between, it would have been hard for many if not most coldfusion community members to attend both.By changing the dates, it might still be hard or impossible for a lot of speakers, sponsors, and community members, but now those percentages have increased, and both conferences will be more successful, and that will help the community be more successful... and at the end of the day, we all win if ColdFusion wins.Since we moved dates for ITB 2022 - We're extending the Call for Speaker Deadline - April 30, 2022Since we had to make changes to the schedule, we wanted to make sure every community member had the opportunity to submit their proposal.Into the Box will be live in Houston in September 2022.https://forms.gle/HR1vQf2T5rs8yCZo9https://intothebox.orgAdobe Announced Adobe Developer Week 2022July 18-22, 2022Online - Virtual - FreeThe Adobe ColdFusion Developer Week is back - bigger and better than ever!

While the simplest question may seem to be "how do I do such an update, effectively" (and it really can be quite simple), there's a good bit more to updating the Java (aka jvm, jdk, jre) which underlies your CFML engine.In this session, veteran troubleshooter Charlie Arehart will share his experience helping people deal with this topic for many years, including:Considering, planning the jvm update (what jvm do you have, what can you update to, why should you?)Performing the jvm update (where to get it, how to install it, how to configure CF to use it)Avoiding various potential gotchas when updating the JVMHow to be made aware of new JVM versionsWhether you use CF or Lucee, deployed traditionally or via Commandbox (or even containers), most of the discussion will apply to you.https://www.meetup.com/coldfusionmeetup/events/285508327/?response=3Ortus Webinar - April - cbSecurity: Passwords, Tokens, and JWTs with Eric PetersonApril 29th 202211:00 AM Central Time (US and Canada)Learn how to integrate cbSecurity into your application whether you are using passwords, API tokens, JWTs, or a combination of all three!More Webinars: https://www.ortussolutions.com/events/webinars Hawaii ColdFusion Meetup Group - Using ColdFusion ORMs with Nick KwiatkowskiFriday, April 29, 20224:00 PM to 5:00 PM PDTThe ColdFusion language introduced the concept of ORM (Object Relation Mappings) to allow developers to be able to do database work without having to write database-dependent SQL.Nick Kwiatkowski is an adjunct professor at Michigan State University, a member of the Mid-Michigan CFUG, and Apache Foundation Member.

As you might be aware, as of Adobe ColdFusion 2018, the framework has supported NULL values, but what you might not be aware of is that you can turn them on and off either globally (via the Administrator) or on a per-application level.https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2022/04/turning-on-null-support-in-coldfusion-2018/ April 26, 2022 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Considering The Separation Of Concerns When Invoking A Remote API In ColdFusionWhen dealing with a local database in ColdFusion, the levels of abstraction and the separations of concern feel somewhat second nature. Yes, I've wrestled with some irrational guilt over returning Query objects from my DAL (Data Access Layer); but, on balance, I love the query object's simplicity and power; and, returning it from the DAL makes life easy. Lately, however, I've had to start consuming some remote APIs (microservices). And, when it comes to making HTTP calls, the separation of concerns is less clear in my head - it seems that so much more can go wrong when consuming a remote API.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4254-considering-the-separation-of-concerns-when-invoking-a-remote-api-in-coldfusion.htmBen is essentially setting up a gateway to abstract getting the data so he can standardize what the service is receiving, so it shouldn't matter where the data is coming from.April 22, 2022 - Blog - Ben Nadel - ArraySlice() Has An Exponential Performance Overhead In Lucee CFML 5.3.8.201The other day, I tweeted about Lucee CFML struggling with a massive array. I had created a data-processing algorithm that was taking an array of user-generated data and splitting it up into chunks of 100 so that I could then gather some aggregates on that data in the database. Everything was running fine until I hit a user that had 2.1 million entries in this array. This was an unexpected volume of data, and it crushed the CFML server. 2.1M is a lot of data to my "human brain"; but, it's not a lot of data for a computer. As such, I started to investigate the root performance bottleneck; and, I discovered that the arraySlice() function in Lucee CFML 5.3.8.201 has a performance overhead that appears to increase exponentially with the size of the array.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4253-arrayslice-has-an-exponential-performance-overhead-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-8-201.htm @bdw429s just left a comment on the blog-post about .subList() as well. It looks crazy-fast! This seems like the fastest possible implementation.April 22, 2022 - Blog - Charlie Arehart - Updated - Solving problems calling out of CF via https, by updating JVMIf you're getting errors in calling out to https urls from CF, especially if it was working and now is not, you may NOT need to import a certificate, nor modify any jvm args. You may simply need to update the JVM that CF uses, as discussed in this post.https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2019/06/error-calling-cf-via-https-solved-updating-jvm/ 4/22/2022- Tweet - Brad Wood - Ortus Solutions - It sucks that CF engines still don't allow for CFCs to extend Java classesIt sucks that CF engines still don't allow for CFCs to extend Java classes.  That prevents me from integrating with Java libraries like this one who don't allow interface implementations, but require abstract base class extension.  https://github.com/bkiers/Liqp/issues/226 4/22/2022 - Tweet - Brad Wood - Ortus Solutions - native Java threading can't access application/session/request scopesOne of the missing pieces for CF devs using native Java threading is the inability of your code to access your application/session/request scopes.  ColdBox works around this but we really need out of the box CF engine support! https://luceeserver.atlassian.net/browse/LDEV-3960 https://twitter.com/bdw429s/status/1517584339235745795https://twitter.com/bdw429s4/19/2022 - Blog - Charlie Arehart - New updates released for Java 8, 11, 17, and 18 as of Apr 2022New JVM updates have been released today (Apr 19, 2022) for the current long-term support (LTS) releases of Oracle Java, 8, 11, and 17, as well as the new interim update 18. (Note that prior to Java 9, releases of Java were known technically as 1.x, to 8 is referred to in resources below as 1.8.)The new updates are 1.8.0_331, (aka 8u331), 11.0.15, 17.0.3, and 18.0.1 respectively). And as is generally the case with these Java updates, most of them have the same changes and fixes.For more on them, including changes as well as the security and bug fixes they each contain, see the Oracle resources I list below, as well as some additional info I offer for if you may be skipping to this from a JVM update from before Apr 2021. I also offer info for Adobe ColdFusion users on where to find the updated Java versions, what JVM versions Adobe CF supports, and more.https://www.carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2022/4/19/java_updates_Apr_2022 CFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 75  ColdFusion positions from 43 companies across 36 locations in 5 Countries.2 new job listedFull-Time - Mid/Senior CFML Developer at Cleveland, OH - United States Apr 22https://www.getcfmljobs.com/viewjob.cfm?jobid=11462Full-Time - Senior ColdFusion/Lucee Engineer (Remote) at Remote - United States Apr 19https://www.getcfmljobs.com/viewjob.cfm?jobid=11461 Other Job LinksOrtus Solutionshttps://www.ortussolutions.com/about-us/careers Consortium Inchttps://www.dice.com/jobs/detail/-/10183574/7322396 There is a jobs channel in the box team slack now tooForgeBox Module of the WeekCBMailServices PreMail FilterThis is a tool that fires on the PreMail interception point, allowing you to filter emails being sent from your application using CBMailServices.This supports multiple enviromnents, so you can turn on the filter for just one environment, or multiple environments, and you can choose to override the global settings, with settings for just one environment, whether that is allowed email addresses, or required email addresses.https://www.forgebox.io/view/cbmailservices-premail-filter VS Code Hint Tips and Tricks of the WeekDepot Data Editor by Afterschool StudioStructured data editor for VS Code - Edit JSON data directly inside of code with a spreadsheet like interface.

But, there's more to a method signature, such as the mode in which it can be invoked. Most methods can only be invoked as a member method. However, in some cases, an Object's API allows for methods to be detached and passed-around as "naked functions". In ColdFusion, we can use Closures / Lambdas to bind a Function reference to a ColdFusion Component instance such that the "member method" can be used - and work correctly - as a "naked function".https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4240-using-closures-to-bind-naked-functions-to-components-in-coldfusion.htm04/03/2022 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Adding FusionReactor Sub-Transaction Breakdowns To My ColdFusion BlogA couple of years ago, I wrote about how we're using the FusionReactor API (FRAPI) to instrument our Lucee CFML apps at work. And, now that I have FusionReactor installed on my ColdFusion 2021 blog, I've been translating some of that logic over to this site. I recently demonstrated that FusionReactor gave me critical insights into my SQL queries and my in-memory caching techniques. And, this morning, I added some "Tracked Transactions" to help me understand how long certain portions of my ColdFusion request was taking to execute.Especially useful since FusionReactor doesn't provide CFC method nameshttps://www.bennadel.com/blog/4242-adding-fusionreactor-sub-transaction-breakdowns-to-my-coldfusion-blog.htmUseful link: https://forgebox.io/view/FRAPISDK04/04/2022 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Moving My Short-Code Redirects To NetlifyFor years, I've had my own "short code" URL, bjam.in. There's no meaningful reason for me to have it - only, that I was raised in an era when short codes were all the rage. And, an era in which Twitter actually counted embedded URLs as part of the overall message length (something that they no longer do). But, one thing that's always bothered me about bjam.in is that it didn't have an SSL Certificate. I never wanted to pay for one since the site does nothing but redirect to www.bennadel.com, which does have an SSL Certificate. To remedy this, I've moved my bjam.in logic over to Netlify which automatically provisions SSL Certificates using Let's Encrypt.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4243-moving-my-short-code-redirects-to-netlify.htm04/05/2022 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Adding CreateTimeSpan() To Date/Time Values In ColdFusionIn ColdFusion, it's trivial to add a given date-part, such an "hour" or a "day", to an existing date - there are built-in functions and member-methods for this task. But, it's a little harder to mix "Dates" with "Time Spans". Doing so, often leads to a fractional numeric value. This fractional value is a "numeric date". There are a number of ways to cast between "numeric dates" and "dates"; but, I wanted to look at how we can avoid casting by thinking about what a "time span" actually is; and, how we can efficiently add and remove time spans to and from dates in ColdFusion.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4244-adding-createtimespan-to-date-time-values-in-coldfusion.htm04/03/2022 - Tweet - @cfhawaiiWe are looking for a speaker on #coldFusion ORM DM me if interestedhttps://twitter.com/cfhawaii/status/151080504602325401804/01/2022 - Tweet - @ortussolutionsThe Ortus USA Team has been working hard at this year's retreat.

I had to do this the other day because I was running into errors when attempting to execute a very large SQL statement in MySQL. To get around the error, I ended up splitting the query logic into chunks, executing the chunks individually, and then reducing the chunk results down to a single value. This felt like a rather elegant solution to a somewhat "dirty problem"; so, I thought it might be worth sharing the approach in ColdFusion (I was writing it in Lucee CFML 5.3.8, but the demo is authored in Adobe ColdFusion 2021).https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4238-avoiding-mysql-max-allowed-packet-errors-by-splitting-up-large-aggregation-queries-in-coldfusion.htm 3/28/22 - Forum - Matthew Clemente - Using asyncManager in place of cfthreadI'm looking to use the async Manager in a place where I'd typically use cfthread, but I'm unsure of the correct syntax.Here's the situation - I'm adding a record, and then once it's added I've got three operations that need to take place, but they shouldn't be blocking and I don't need data back from them. In pseudocode, it would look something like this: …https://community.ortussolutions.com/t/using-asyncmanager-in-place-of-cfthread/9170 3/27/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Splitting An Array Into Groups In ColdFusion 2021The other day, I was dealing with a long list of IDs that I needed to use in a SQL query. In fact, the list was so long that the generated SQL statement was exceeding the max packet size property of the MySQL server. As such, I had to split the list of IDs into groups and perform the SQL query in chucks. I was surprised to see that our Utilities.cfc at work didn't already have a user defined function (UDF) for this. As such, I wrote a function that splits an array into groups of a given max-length in ColdFusion.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4237-splitting-an-array-into-groups-in-coldfusion-2021.htm 3/26/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Updating OWASP AntiSamy From 1.5.7 To 1.6.5 In ColdFusion 2021A few years ago, I started using the OWASP AntiSamy 1.5.7 project to validate Markdown comments being processed with Flexmark. I'm trying to be better about keeping vendor libraries up-to-date (in order to keep them more secure). So, this morning, I updated OWASP AntiSamy to version 1.6.5 on my ColdFusion 2021 blog. I ran into a few hurdles doing this, so I thought I would just share the errors in case anyone needs some Google-love.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4236-updating-owasp-antisamy-from-1-5-7-to-1-6-5-in-coldfusion-2021.htm 3/25/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Considering A Numeric Range / Sequence Data Structure In ColdFusionI am not sure if I would ever need something like this in a production application, but when I'm toying around with ideas in ColdFusion, it's not uncommon for me to want to iterate over a sequence of numbers. I know that other languages have the concept of a first class "Range" or "Sequence" structure. And, it seems like something that might be of some value in ColdFusion as well. As such, I wanted to try implementing a numeric range / sequence data structure in Lucee CFMLhttps://www.bennadel.com/blog/4235-considering-a-numeric-range-sequence-data-structure-in-coldfusion.htm 3/24/22 - Blog - Luis Majano - Ortus Solutions - Migrating From ColdSpring to WireBoxIf you have an application that leveraged ColdSpring for your dependency injection, you can easily port it to WireBox. The first step is converting the ColdSpring XML file to a WireBox Binder. This will translate 1-1 the bean configurations to WireBox configurations. After that, it's a matter of testing your objects and switching the references to the ColdSpring bean factory to application.wirebox.getInstance( "BeanName" ).After that, you can decide if you want to keep the object configurations as is, or you can start refactoring them by using our conventions instead of configuration approach. Especially if you love annotations in your code.https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/migrating-from-coldspring-to-wirebox 3/23/22 - Forum - Brad Wood - Ortus Solutions - How to create instances of CFCs in a CommandBox Task RunnerSomeone asked me today why they couldn't run the following code inside of a Task Runner without getting an error that the CFC couldn't be found:new lib.providers.s3();They wanted to know how to create the CFC.

It has been a truly tremendous ride, filled with lots of joy, challenges, frustrations and satisfaction that ColdBox is powering applications from companies all over the world. We started as the very first conventions over configuration MVC framework. It has become the most widely used ColdFusion (CFML) framework and the standard for developing modern web applications in ColdFusion (CFML). With tons of products, modules and frameworks that have stemmed from this initial project. ColdBox HMVC has truly been a catalyst at Ortus!We are committed to open source and to the further development of modern tooling for the CFML language. We are not even close to being done yet. We have tons of new releases, tools and more coming this 2022+ that will richely empower ColdFusion (CFML) developers. We are as modern and even more than many of our competitors in other languages. We are so looking forward for the next 15 years!https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/coldbox-15-year-anniversary-video3/16/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - compare() And compareNoCase() Can Accept NULL ValuesAs the ColdFusion language continues to add new operators and new functionality, we have to make sure that we continue to evolve our understand of the runtime behaviors so that we can reduce syntactic noise and make our code more expressive. The steps on this journey are not always intuitive. It requires trial-and-error and whole lot of "I wonder if this will break?" experiments. Such is the way that I discovered that the compare() and compareNoCase() built-in functions can accept Null values as arguments in both Adobe ColdFusion and Lucee CFML.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4229-compare-and-comparenocase-can-accept-null-values-in-coldfusion.htm3/17/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Fundamental Differences In Elvis Operator Between Adobe ColdFusion And Lucee CFMLAt work, we use Lucee CFML; but, on my blog, I use Adobe ColdFusion. I enjoy having my feet in both camps because it forces me to have a more robust mental model of each language - seeing what is and is not the same. And, for the most part, things line up well. But, this morning I stumbled upon Charlie Cochran's post on breaking changes in the Elvis operator in Adobe ColdFusion (ACF) which gave me pause. I panicked that I might be introducing subtle bugs into my applications. But, since he was talking about ACF, and I use Lucee CFML at work, I wanted to quickly test the two engines. And, oh chickens, they are very different!https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4231-fundamental-differences-in-elvis-operator-between-adobe-coldfusion-and-lucee-cfml.htm3/19/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Creating A Health Probe Using Netlify Cron Functions, Postmark, And ColdFusionA few weekends ago, shortly after upgrading my database to MySQL 8.0.28, my blog went offline for about 8-hours. I believe the issue was related to a bug in how ColdFusion caches per-application datasources. After several days of trial-and-error, I think I finally figured out how to safely create a per-application datasource while working around the bug. And, once the fires were all put out, I started to think about that 8-hour offline window; and, how I might operationalize the monitoring of my site. I had recently heard that Netlify released cron / scheduled functions. So, I wanted to see if I could create a health probe for my ColdFusion site using Netlify scheduled functions and the Postmark SMTP service.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4232-creating-a-health-probe-using-netlify-cron-functions-postmark-and-coldfusion.htm3/21/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Playing With The MySQL 8 Document Store X DevAPI In Lucee CFML 5.3.8.201After my blog was upgraded from MySQL 5.7 to MySQL 8.0.28, I read through the MySQL 8 release notes to see what new features I would have at my disposal. I already looked at using LATERAL derived tables and Common Table Expressions (CTE). And now, I want to look briefly at something that was called "Document Store" - MySQL's document-oriented answer to the NoSQL (Not-Only SQL) band of database technologies. I found almost no examples of this on the web. So, what follows is just my trial-and-error experiment with MySQL 8's Document Store and its new X DevAPI in Lucee CFML 5.3.8.201.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4233-playing-with-the-mysql-8-document-store-x-devapi-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-8-201.htmCFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 57 ColdFusion positions from 34 companies across 32 locations in 5 Countries.1 new job listedFull-Time - Senior Web Application Developer Coldfusion at Reston, VAMar 21https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/Senior-Web-Application-Developer-Coldfusion-at-Reston-VA/11446Other Job LinksOrtus Solutionshttps://www.ortussolutions.com/about-us/careers ForgeBox Module of the WeekPDFBox by Matthew ClementeUtilize the PDFBox Java library to manipulate PDFs with CFML.CFML's built-in methods have their place - if they work for you, keep using them.PDFBox's performance is generally faster than CFML's built-in functions, particularly for extracting text. It provides more fine-grained control and insight into the underlying structures and data that make up a PDF (forms, links, javascript, metadata, etc.). Some PDF functionality is restricted to certain ColdFusion versions and engines, while PDFBox functions the same across engines and versions, providing flexibility in a codebase.https://forgebox.io/view/pdfboxcfcVS Code Hint Tips and Tricks of the WeekTestBox - vscode-testboxOrtus Solutions - 2221 installsIncludes: Jump to Spec Code Skeleton Snippets TestBox Snippets ColdBox Testing Snippets https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ortus-solutions.vscode-testboxThank you to all of our Patreon SupportersThese individuals are personally supporting our open source initiatives to ensure the great toolings like CommandBox, ForgeBox, ColdBox,  ContentBox, TestBox and all the other boxes keep getting the continuous development they need, and funds the cloud infrastructure at our community relies on like ForgeBox for our Package Management with CommandBox.

Some of that data is cached up-front in the onApplicationStart() ColdFusion application life-cycle event handler; but, most of it is cached on-the-fly using the double-check locking pattern that I discussed recently. Unfortunately, I have no idea how much "data costs" to store in memory (meaning, how much room it takes up). So, I've always been a bit uneasy knowing that I may one day slam into a hard memory limit. But, all worry is gone now that I've installed FusionReactor's Application Performance Monitor (APM). I can now clearly see how much RAM I've used; and, more importantly, how much dang RAM I have left to play with.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4225-fusionreactor-apm-gives-me-peace-of-mind-over-in-memory-caching-in-coldfusion.htm3/15/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Adding Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS) HTTP Header In ColdFusion 2021For years, I've been using Foundeo's HackMyCF security product on my server to help me keep my ColdFusion applications secure and up-to-date. Security is one of those feature that tends to rot over time. So, it's nice to have someone constantly nagging you about actively updating your platform. This morning, I'm finally adding the HTTP Strict-Transport-Security response header (often abbreviated as HSTS) to my ColdFusion blog so that browsers will force connections to be made using HTTPS, never HTTP.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4228-adding-strict-transport-security-hsts-http-header-in-coldfusion-2021.htm3/14/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Serving A Bypassable "Down For Maintenance" Page In ColdFusion 2021In the vast majority of cases, updates to my ColdFusion blog can be made while the site is online. Sometimes, however, if those changes are not backwards compatible, or require too much cross-file coordination, there's no way that I can start making changes without causing errors in the user experience (UX). In such cases, I need to temporarily block access to the site using a "Down for Maintenance" page. But, I still need to access the site in order to monitor and test the changes. As such, this maintenance page needs to be conditionally bypassable. Luckily, all of this is really easy in ColdFusion.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4227-serving-a-bypassable-down-for-maintenance-page-in-coldfusion-2021.htmColdBox Fail Fast - https://coldbox.ortusbooks.com/getting-started/configuration/bootstrapper-application.cfc#composition CFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 57 ColdFusion positions from 34 companies across 32 locations in 5 Countries.2 new jobs listedFull-Time - Senior Coldfusion Developer |LATAM| at Colon, PAMar 11https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/Senior-Coldfusion-Developer-LATAM-at-Colon-PA/11442Contract - Mid Level CF developer at Remote - AustraliaMar 15https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/australia/mid-cfdev-remote/11443Other Job LinksOrtus Solutionshttps://www.ortussolutions.com/about-us/careers Everett Community Collegehttps://employment.everettcc.edu/postings/5300 The Consortium, Inchttps://jobs.crelate.com/portal/consortium/job/ok4b6rcj95g1rhscawespxcdjy ForgeBox Module of the WeekGeoLocation By IP by Ortus SolutionsGeoLocation By IP.

To which, Henry Ho pointed out that he had been using randRange() with the SHA1PRNG algorithm for the same purpose. After Henry's comment, I then played around with generating random bytes using randRange(); however, since I was on Adobe ColdFusion at the time, I had no idea what the actual implement was doing under-the-hood. Now that I'm on Lucee CFML, which is open-source and fully available on GitHub, I can see what is happening; and, according to the source code, the randRange() function-when used with a non-CFMX_COMPAT algorithm-uses the java.security.SecureRandom library in Lucee CFML 5.3.7.47.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4093-randrange-with-algorithm-argument-uses-java-security-securerandom-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-7-47.htm Blog - Adam Cameron - CFML: static methods and propertiesIn Lucee 5.0 (so: ages ago) and ColdFusion 2021 (so: you know… just now), support for static properties and methods was added to CFML. This isn't a feature that you'd use very often, but it's essential to at least know about it. And it's bloody handy, and makes your code clearer sometimes. I had reason to be googling for docs / examples today, and what's out there ain't great so I thought I'd write my own "probably still not great" effort.OK so that's the bar set suitably low. Let's get on with it.https://blog.adamcameron.me/2021/08/cfml-static-methods-and-properties.html Blog - Robert Zehnder - Porting Jasper to FW/1I will be the first to admit, I love Ortus stuff. If I need to pound out some cfml quickly, install dependencies, or write a new blog post I am doing it in a commandbox instance. Whether I am doing and API integration or working on a side project, I am doing it in ColdBox. I find using *box products very comfortable; it is very easy to scaffold an application and get on my way.I like to try to push myself a little, so I thought it might be interesting to see how I would code Jasper if I tried something I was not so comfortable with. I was looking at ways to condense Jasper's code base and FW/1 looked to be a great place to start. FW/1 consists of one file so it is easy to install: box install fw1.https://kisdigital.com/post/2021/08/04/porting-jasper-to-fw1 CFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 152 ColdFusion positions from 69 companies across 100 locations in 5 Countries.7 new jobs listedFull-Time - ColdFusion Developer at Kolkata, West Bengal - India Posted Aug 13https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/india/ColdFusion-Developer-at-Kolkata-West-Bengal/11312 Full-Time - Coldfusion Developer at Oregon - United States Posted Aug 11https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/Coldfusion-Developer-at-Oregon/11310Full-Time - ColdFusion Developer (Remote) at London - United Kingdom Posted Aug 11https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-kingdom/ColdFusion-Developer-Remote-at-London/11311Full-Time - Full Stack Developer (VueJS + CFML) at Austin, TX - United States Posted Aug 09https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/FullStackCF-VueJsDev-at-Austin-Tx-US/11309Full-Time - Application Developer at London - United Kingdom Posted Aug 09https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-kingdom/AppDeveloper-at-London-UK/11308Full-Time - Senior Software Developer at Melbourne, FL - United States Posted Aug 06https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/SrSoftwareDev-at-MB-FL-US/11306Full-Time - ColdFusion Developer at Kolkata, West Bengal - India Posted Aug 05https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/india/ColdFusion-Developer-at-Kolkata-West-Bengal/11305Ortus Jobshttps://www.ortussolutions.com/about-us/careers Senior ColdFusion CFML Developer (USA TEAM) Desarollador Web (EL SALVADOR TEAM) ForgeBox Module of the WeekUnleash SDKLibrary for interacting with Unleash feature flagsThis module takes heavy advantage of ColdBox's async scheduling.
