after I add something to my shopping cart, go to checkout and use my https connection, my site tries to make everything after that on the https connection.
So after I go to checkout on the https connection, and I click home, it will make the home link https.
In admin>config>security i have checkout as the only required https connection and below that I have "generally prevent https connections" checked.
1. You can make all your menu links that you do not want to be HTTPS to be non-ssl. Look under each Joomla menu link under advanced parameters.
2. You can get my mod to force non-www for category links.
Same things happening in Joomla 2.5 and Virtuemart 2.026d any help!

She has dealt with several cases on the applicability and interpretation of general terms and conditions, in particular with regard to carrier terms and conditions on bills of lading and jurisdiction clauses. But also more typical "wet" cases such as in 2010 the "Oostenwind", where an important decision was taken on the ownership of yards of ships under construction and in 2017 the decision in "De Jonge Maritime" on pilotage charges.
Cherry started as a lawyer in 2004. She previously worked at other (maritime) law firms such as Boonk Van Leeuwen. After establishing her own office Alius law in 2016, where she became more involved in the supply, maintenance and lease of maritime equipment, she strengthens Caland Advocaten as one of the co-founders as of January 1, 2019.

MILL VALLEY made national news again recently when an "anonymous tipster" complained to the Tamalpais Union High School District and the Marin County District Attorney's office about physics teacher David Lapp's use of a rifle to demonstrate the physics of motion in the classroom.
While the district attorney's office has stated it will not take the case, the physics demonstration has been banned by the school district in spite of support for the teacher by Tamalpais High School Principal Chris Holleran.
The harassed Mr. Lapp, beloved physics teacher at Tamalpais High, has been performing the rifle demonstration with his .30-caliber M1 carbine in the classroom without incident and with proper approval from school officials since 1992. He fires the Korean War-era rifle at close range through a wooden block, which is suspended from the ceiling.
Students take measurements of the lateral and upward movement of the block and calculate the velocity of the bullet.
As a physician/scientist and parent of two Tam High students, one who is enrolled in Mr. Lapp's course, I am outraged, but not surprised, by the events. With recent news again documenting the poor quality of science education in California and the nation, it is just so fitting that there be an attack on one of the few educational gems that I have come across as a parent monitoring my children's educational experience over the last 12 years.
Mr. Lapp stands out as one of the rare examples of a secondary school teacher with a combination of characteristics that is hard to beat. He is a master teacher and recipient of the prestigious Wright Fellowship award for 2002-03. He was chosen through open competition with some of the best and brightest teachers of mathematics and science in the United States and Europe to spend a year at Tufts University as a Wright Fellow. The fellowship encourages the honorees to further develop their creative and novel educational curricula and activities, and to share their innovations with other teachers.
Mr. Lapp's rifle experiment is only one of dozens of carefully crafted and executed demonstrations that actually bring to life complex mathematical and physics principles so students can see, feel and understand the not-so-obvious. In addition to inspiring students, Mr. Lapp has consistently high standards and expectations in his classroom.
He doesn't tolerate tardiness, for example.
He sets the example of hard work and diligence by returning exam and project grades with thorough and thoughtful comments in record time for maximum learning feedback.
In short, as a teacher, Mr. Lapp encompasses every characteristic you could dream of for your child's educational experience.
He is smart and knowledgeable. He loves his subject. He has a knack for inspiring and teaching. He is committed and hard working. He is creative and innovative. He is a teacher of teachers.
So how is it that this remarkable teacher could have his classroom activities censored after the anonymous complaint? The reason is simple. In this part of the country, the politically correct with their extreme agendas have more sway than the rest of us.
Around here, the fact that Mr. Lapp is an ex-military police officer and former deer hunter is only further evidence that the rifle demonstration is inappropriate and should be banned.
Additionally, it is no secret that Mr. Lapp considers himself a libertarian, which is also tantamount to a crime in these parts. This is a classic case of the liberal double standard as it relates to tolerance, diversity, and censorship. Mediocre, and sometimes woefully uninformed, and academically lazy teachers of the correct political persuasion can spew their anti-American agenda all year long in the social studies and English classes. Some of us would consider these classroom activities dangerous and harmful to our children. But forget banning their activity; parents can't even get the district to insist that opposing points of view be aired in those classrooms. I know, I've tried.
After all, academic freedom and a certain latitude in individual expression are fundamental rights of teachers. But if a complaint is lodged against a nationally renowned science teacher, who happens to be a libertarian, ex-military police officer and deer hunter, after he discharges a weapon in a dramatic demonstration under carefully controlled circumstances that he has successfully performed repeatedly over the last 14 years without any safety issues, "Columbine" is invoked and the activity is banned.
The fact that the school district administration would capitulate to this agenda without any evidence of a safety issue is outrageous and unfortunate for students.
Instead of banning Mr. Lapp's rifle demonstration, the district should be finding ways to give this excellent and committed teacher a merit raise for consistently providing excellent education to California science students who lag behind every state except Mississippi.
Karen Callen, MD, of Mill Valley is a Tamalpais High School parent.

Geraldine Fitzgerald (24 de noviembre de 1913 – 17 de julio de 2005) fue una actriz teatral, cinematográfica y televisiva de origen irlandés nacionalizada estadounidense, y miembro del Salón de la Fama del Teatro Americano.

Primeros años
Nacida en Greystones, Irlanda, al sur de Dublín, sus padres eran Edith Richards y Edward Fitzgerald, un abogado. Su padre era de religión católica, y su madre protestante convertida al catolicismo. Fitzgerald estudió pintura en la Dublin School of Art e, inspirada por su tía, la actriz y directora Shelah Richards, inició su carrera interpretativa en 1932. En un principio fue actriz teatral en Dublín antes de trasladarse a Londres, donde estudió pintura en la Polytechnic School of Art, y en donde entró en los Estudios Twickenham para hacer un pequeño papel en un film británico de 1934. Tras ello, rápidamente llegó a ser considerada como una de las más prometedoras actrices cinematográficas británicas, siendo su película de mayor éxito de ese período The Mill on the Floss (1937).

Carrera

Su éxito la llevó a Estados Unidos, donde trabajó como actriz teatral en el circuito de Broadway en 1938. Mientras actuaba con Orson Welles en una producción de la compañía Mercury Theatre de la obra Heartbreak House, fue descubierta por el productor cinematográfico Hal B. Wallis, que le ofreció un contrato de siete años. Gracias a ello, en 1939 tuvo dos importantes actuaciones, una en Cumbres borrascosas, con el papel de Isabella Linton, que le valió la nominación al Óscar a la mejor actriz de reparto, y otra en Amarga victoria, consiguiendo ambas cintas un gran resultado en taquilla.

Posteriormente actuó en Shining Victory (1941) y Watch on the Rhine (1943), ambas de Warner Bros., y Wilson (1944), para 20th Century Fox. Sin embargo, su carrera se vio obstaculizada por sus frecuentes conflictos con la dirección del estudio, que finalizaban con la suspensión de rodajes. Así, perdió el papel de 'Brigid O'Shaughnessy', la malvada de El halcón maltés a causa de su enfrentamiento con Jack Warner. Aunque siguió trabajando con regularidad en la década de 1940, la calidad de sus papeles disminuyó y su carrera empezó a perder impulso.

Durante los años de la Segunda Guerra Mundial se nacionalizó estadounidense en señal de solidaridad con su país adoptivo. En 1946, poco después de completar Three Strangers, dejó Hollywood para volver a la ciudad de Nueva York, donde se casó con su segundo marido, Stuart Scheftel, nieto de Isidor Straus. En 1948 viajó al Reino Unido para actuar en So Evil My Love, consiguiendo críticas positivas por su papel de alcohólica adúltera, y en  1951 trabajó en The Late Edwina Black antes de viajar de nuevo a Estados Unidos.

La década de 1950 no fue para Fitzgerald pródiga en oportunidades cinematográficas, pero en los años sesenta se confirmó como actriz de carácter, disfrutando su carrera de un resurgir. Entre sus filmes de éxito de ese período figuran Ten North Frederick (1958), The Pawnbroker (1964) y Raquel, Raquel (1968). Entre sus otras películas se incluyen The Mango Tree (1977, por la cual recibió la nominación a la mejor actriz por parte del Instituto de Cine Australiano), Arthur (1981), Poltergeist II: El otro lado (1986) y Arthur 2: On the Rocks (1988).

A partir de la década de 1940 Fitzgerald incrementó su actividad teatral, y en 1971 se ganó el favor de la crítica por su trabajo en Long Day's Journey Into Night. También tuvo éxito como directora teatral, siendo una de las primeras mujeres en ser nominadas al Premio Tony a la mejor dirección, en su caso por el trabajo llevado a cabo en 1982 en Mass Appeal.

Fitzgerald también trabajó con frecuencia en la televisión, actuando en programas como Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Robert Montgomery Presents, Naked City, St. Elsewhere y Cagney and Lacey. En 1983 fue Rose Kennedy en la miniserie Kennedy. En 1986 Fitzgerald trabajó con Tuesday Weld y River Phoenix en el alabado telefilm de la CBS Circle of Violence: A Family Drama, y en 1987 encarnó al personaje del título en Mabel and Max, producción televisiva de Barbra Streisand. Además, fue nominada a un premio Emmy por su papel de Anna en un episodio de The Golden Girls de 1988 y ganó un Daytime Emmy por su actuación en el capítulo 'Rodeo Red and the Runaways' de NBC Special Treat.

En 1976 inició un período como cantante de cabaret en el show Streetsongs, el cual se representó tres temporadas en Broadway y que fue objeto de un especial televisivo del Public Broadcasting Service.

Por su trabajo televisivo, a Geraldine Fitzgerald se le concedió una estrella en el Paseo de la Fama de Hollywood, en el 6353 de Hollywood Boulevard.

Vida personal
Fitzgerald fue madre del director Michael Lindsay-Hogg (Let It Be y Retorno a Brideshead), fruto de su matrimonio con Sir Edward Lindsay-Hogg. Su segundo marido fue Stuart Scheftel, nieto del copropietario de Macy's y víctima del hundimiento del Titanic Isidor Straus. La pareja tuvo una hija, Susan Scheftel.

El parecido de su hijo con Orson Welles, con quien Fitzgerald había trabajado y con el que había mantenido una relación sentimental en los últimos años treinta, llevó a rumorear que su verdadero padre era Welles. En su autobiografía de 2011, Lindsay-Hogg afirmaba que Welles había reconocido ser su padre. Fitzgerald fue tía abuela de la actriz Tara FitzGerald y prima del novelista británico Nevil Shute.

Geraldine Fitzgerald falleció en 2005 en Nueva York a causa de una enfermedad de Alzheimer. Tenía 91 años de edad. Fue enterrada en el Cementerio Woodlawn, en el Bronx, Nueva York.

How Haris Ahmed Sees The Prospects of Electrical Engineering In One's Career?
Making career choices have indeed got more stringent, as a result of which, young individuals do fall in a serious dilemma when they pass their high school and need to select a discipline for college. However, of all the popular choices that Haris Ahmed finds the students making, engineering seems to be the most promising of all. Being a student of electrical engineering himself, he distinctively prefers the particular stream as he believes there's a promising career opportunity with electrical engineering.
As the entire world is progressing towards the electronic media, this is something that is not going to be dejected anytime soon. Most importantly, the benefits that one will find by pursuing engineering will lure the candidates the moment they get to realize it. As the world around us keeps changing rapidly, it only takes a moment for a technology to emerge and then get out of the market. So to stay updated with this fast-paced advancement, it is essential to have an in-depth understanding of the subject.
There is a misconception about the fact that in this fast-paced world, one with the knowledge of one such primitive technology can be a massive barrier to the career growth. However, such a wrong impression makes no sense, and identifying the benefits is the best way you can value its diversified nature, and also get lured towards it.
There are several ways one can make the best use of their knowledge in electrical engineering while rising the ladders in their career.
Nowadays, most of the industries are on their operational base solely because of the involvement of the electrical engineers that they have established.
Apart from this, there are also industries which have engaged themselves in the manufacturing of motors, transformers, pumps, cables and even steel. None of this can be manufactured without the presence of the electrical engineers, and hence the prospects only get better.
Nowadays, even the automobiles are based on electrical chips to enhance the ride experience and make them smarter. As a result of it, the demand of these electrical engineers in the automobile industry has also increased invariably making it a promising career option.
Self-employment is a trend that is being closely followed by the youngsters. Rather than being a mere employee of some company, they prefer using their knowledge and come up with something innovative which will be priced in the world. Electrical engineers have that option open with them since the exposure is much more diverse.
Haris Ahmed has accepted how the technologies have always alluded him to read more about them in details. He preferred to choose it as his career option since he believes that he could contribute much more to the growth of a scientific society. Having a connection with the fraternity of electronic engineering gives him immense pleasure, and he makes sure to make a justified use of the subject.


How do I use the Capacity Test Activity "Start Retries" and N3/T3 parameters for session retries with UMTS and LTE test cases on Landslide?
For GGSN and SGW Nodal test cases, when Start Retries is enabled in a Capacity Test, retries will continue indefinitely.
For N3/T3 GTP settings, you can define both the amount of time the test will wait for a response from an SGSN or from a GGSN, and the number of times a message will be re-transmitted. If a response has not been received by the time the T3 timer expires, and if N3 - Command Request Attempts has not been exceeded, the message is re-transmitted. When all retries have been exhausted, the timeout counter is incremented and no further attempt is made to transmit the message.
In conclusion, the N3/T3 GTP settings will be used to retry if Landslide GGSN and SGW Nodal test cases do not get any responses from the System Under Test (SUT). The "Start Retries" will take effect if Landslide applications previously listed receive a response with an error code from the SUT.

Belen millennial gambles with Mother Nature to carry on farming tradition
By Julia M. Dendinger / Valencia County News-bulletin
Sunday, July 16th, 2017 at 12:02am
The bright red seeder is full and ready to go as storm clouds fill the sky. There's one more field to be sowed along Gabaldon Road in Belen before Zach Montaño can call it a day.
That is if it doesn't rain first.
With a decade of farming under his belt, Zach Montaño, 25, is one of a handful of millennials in the valley continuing the traditional farming life. (Rebecca Martinez/Valencia County News-Bulletin)
"It's all a bit of a gamble," Montaño says of farming. "If you cut hay, will it get rained on three or four times and ruined?"
Other questions are part of the picture too: Will the seed take? Will there be enough water for the season? Will hay prices hold?
These questions have answers, but not until the work is done and the money paid out.
"It's all paid for up front. Then you have to wait and see," Montaño said.
So what led a 25-year-old who hesitantly uses the term "millennial" to describe himself to take up a line of work that often comes down to the mercurial mood of Mother Nature?
It seems to come from a natural love of playing in the dirt and heavy equipment. Montaño grew up on Chavez Lane in Los Lunas with his parents, Roger and Joell Montaño.
Carrying the mark of the modern farmer, Zach Montaño takes a call before finishing for the day.
Family friends David Chavez, a chile grower, and Russell Romero, an alfalfa farmer, were people the young man watched and learned from, as well as his father's earth moving and demolition business.
"When I was 9 or 10, I took a big interest in what they were doing – baling hay, planting, laser leveling," he said.
Montaño now does all those things, with help of two farm hands, one of whom is Florian Olguin, a former ditch rider for the Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District, who handles the irrigation.
With the fields laser leveled, it takes 36 to 48 hours to irrigate the whole spread – about 300 acres – which is a combination of land Montaño owns, leases and some he sharecrops with the owner.
However he comes into the land, Montaño is responsible for making sure whatever goes in the ground will be profitable and healthy.
For instance, he will be planting Brutus grass this year, a tall fescue, in the fields on Gabaldon. Montaño explained that alfalfa will self-toxify the soil with nitrogen. After about seven years of alfalfa, the soil is loaded with nitrogen, so growers have to switch to a nitrogen-loving crop, like the Brutus grass, to pull the excess out of the soil.
Farming, by its nature, is a hurry up and wait enterprise. Fields are prepped, planted and irrigated. Then, farmers wait for weeks for the crop to show signs of life.
"After we plant, then irrigate, there's really not much to do but wait for a few weeks," he says.
While he's waiting, Montaño works with his father on big, commercial jobs and does smaller side jobs on his own.
On a typical day on the farm, Montaño says if he's not out of the door by 6:30 a.m., he's late.
"You work until the work gets done," he says.
That might mean he's having a beer by noon or returning home at six the next morning.
Montaño has been saving up for equipment for the last 10 years, and it's paying off. He recently dropped $130,000 on a new tractor and has sold his first cutting to a South Valley dairy.
Getting those kinds of buyers is crucial to keep the operation running, to getting to the second and third cuttings in a season.
Then there are the day-to-day costs. On average, the operation can run through 150 gallons of diesel a day, which currently costs about $300.
Equipment, fuel, seed, fertilizer – it all has to be paid for up front, then Montaño hopes the gamble pays off.
"I can make a living at this but the excavation work helps," he said. "And no matter what you have, it's a lot of work."
The work is worth it, Montaño says.
"Every day is different. You never do the same thing," he says.
Montaño says he has a handful of friends his age who are interested in farming, but it's different than previous generations.
"The way millennials are interested, it's small, organic operations," he says. "In the valley, I see some younger people taking over but the acreage of farms is going down. A lot of land is being subdivided. Older farmers are dying and the people who inherit it don't want to farm."
As Montaño eyes the gathering clouds, he says he sees the tradition of farming in the valley dwindling and eventually becoming mostly a hobby.
"Probably 100 years from now, I don't think there will be the big farms," he says.
For now though, he continues the tradition, bringing verdant fields to the valley.
