If you need to dose tiny amounts of a particular solution, element or other fluid (like vodka dosing or Zeovit systems), the DŌS is the perfect solution due to its precision controlled stepper motor. This ability to control pump movement in such a refined manner means that you can dose all the way down to a single drop of fluid at a time!
First, lets talk about the pump hardware. Be aware that not all dosing pumps are built alike. Well, lets clarify that. Almost all OTHER dosing pumps are alike – but most ALL OTHERS are very different from the DŌS.
The DŌS uses a direct drive mechanism that will not slip, it will not strip, it will not grind to a halt. On the other hand, many other peristaltic dosing pumps used for aquariums have gears that can (and do) strip. Or, worse yet, some pumps work by using the friction of rubber rollers on the smooth metal motor shaft to make the pump spin. Foreign matter like salt creep, additives, etc. often get into the drive mechanisms of these pumps and make them fail or pump unknown amounts.
Changing out the peristaltic pump tubing on the DŌS is a snap. Literally! All you need to do to change out the pump tubing is squeeze the pump head and remove. Then take out the tubing, replace with a new one, and snap it back on. No screws, no impossible snap on covers and no fussy loose rollers to mess with. And, because you are not changing out an entire pump head, your costs are lower as well!
The DŌS was designed to compliment your aquarium – not just be a box that holds pumps. Its attractive enclosure has the pumps rotated at an outward angle to allow for the tubing to be routed with no chance of kinking, even when placed on a shelf. The DŌS are also designed for stacking and they can be daisy-chained together via the AquaBus ports. Even when stacked, all tubing can be easily routed kink-free. For those that prefer a wall mount, the DŌS has easy to use slots in the back so you can attach it to a wall or to the inside of your aquarium cabinet. With the exterior design, component selection, and software functionality, the DŌS communicates how much total effort we have put into this product to raise the bar not only for dosing systems, but for premium aquarium products overall.

These fast-moving stars, known as hypervelocity stars, were able to escape their original home when the explosion of one star in a binary system caused the other to fly off with such speed that it was able to escape the gravity of the LMC and get absorbed into the Milky Way.
The results are published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, and were presented (5 July) at the National Astronomy Meeting in Hull.
An alternative explanation to the origin of hypervelocity stars is that they are runaways from a binary system. In binary star systems, the closer the two stars are, the faster they orbit one another. If one star explodes as a supernova, it can break up the binary and the remaining star flies off at the speed it was orbiting.
The escaping star is known as a runaway. Runaway stars originating in the Milky Way are not fast enough to be hypervelocity because blue stars can't orbit close enough without the two stars merging. But a fast-moving galaxy could give rise to these speedy stars.

According to the two researchers, VISA intercepts electronic signals sent from internal buses and peripherals (display, keyboard, and webcam) to the PCH --and later the main CPU.
But despite its extremely intrusive nature, very little is known about this new technology. Goryachy and Ermolov said VISA's documentation is subject to a non-disclosure agreement, and not available to the general public.
Intel says it's safe. Researchers disagree.
Goryachy and Ermolov said their technique doesn't require hardware modifications to a computer's motherboard and no specific equipment to carry out.
The simplest method consists of using the vulnerabilities detailed in Intel's Intel-SA-00086 security advisory to take control of the Intel Management Engine and enable VISA that way.
"The Intel VISA issue, as discussed at BlackHat Asia, relies on physical access and a previously mitigated vulnerability addressed in INTEL-SA-00086 on November 20, 2017," an Intel spokesperson told ZDNet yesterday. "Customers who have applied those mitigations are protected from known vectors."
However, in an email to ZDNet, the two researchers said the Intel-SA-00086 fixes are not enough, as Intel firmware can be downgraded to vulnerable versions where the attackers can take over Intel ME and later enable VISA.
Furthermore, the researchers said there are three other ways to enable Intel VISA not dependent on those vulnerabilities, methods that will become public when Black Hat organizers will publish the duo's presentation slides in the coming days.
"Those vulnerabilities are only one way to enable Intel VISA, in our talk we gave several other ways to do this task," the two researchers told ZDNet in an email. "As we have repeatedly said, these fixes are dummy, they don't do anything because the digitally signed firmware can be downgraded to any of previous version."
As Ermolov said yesterday, VISA is not a vulnerability in Intel chipsets, but just another way in which a useful feature could be abused and turned against users. Chances that VISA will be abused are low. This is because if someone would go through the trouble of exploiting the Intel-SA-00086 vulnerabilities to take over Intel ME, then they'll likely use that component to carry out their attacks, rather than rely on VISA. However, this research highlights another potential attack vector in Intel chipsets.
As a side note, this is the second "manufacturing mode" feature Goryachy and Ermolov found in the past year. They also found that Apple accidentally shipped some laptops with Intel CPUs that were left in "manufacturing mode."

The major contention of the petition is that post of "Acting" Advocate General is unconstitutional, and no other advocate who has been appointed under A.162 can discharge the functions of an AG who is appointed under A.165.
A petition has been filed at the Bombay High Court seeking a writ of mandamus directing the Maharashtra government to appoint an Advocate General under Article 165 of the constitution. The petition also seeks an interim order directing the state to cancel the appointment of Rohit Deo, the current Acting Advocate General as the constitution does not provide for such a post.
The petitioner Sanjay Satischandra Dutt, who is a Member of the Legislative Council from the Congress party had previously raised this issue on the floor of the house on two separate occasions. According to this PTI report, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had replied that such an appointment is the prerogative of the government and also gave the example of NK Amin who was the acting Advocate General for a period of 9 years from 1948-1957.
Dutt's petition counters the CM's claim that 24 appointments of in-charge Advocate General or Acting Advocate General were made by previous governments. He says that these appointments were made in the pre-constitution period when A.165 was not in place. The petition also states that this is not an adversarial litigation and it is not supposed to cast any aspersions on Rohit Deo.
The major contention of this petition is that post of "Acting" Advocate General is unconstitutional, and no other advocate who has been appointed under A.162 can discharge the functions of an AG who is appointed under A.165.
The state government has struggled to make a steady appointment to the post as it's first appointment in Sunil Manohar lasted for a little over six months. Then Anil Singh who is currently serving as Additional Solicitor General of India (ASG) was appointed as Incharge/Acting AG. After a period of four months Shreehari Aney was appointed to the top post. Rohit Deo who was functioning as Associate Advocate General was appointed to the post of Acting AG immediately after Aney's resignation from the post of Advocate General in March 23 this year over his remarks on separate statehood for Marathwada.
This matter was mentioned today before the division bench headed by Justice SC Dharmadhikari and will now come up for hearing post Diwali vacations.

Inching Towards Bitcoin Derivatives
As the bitcoin economy matures, derivatives exchanges will emerge to satisfy commercial hedgers.
By Jon Matonis
May 27, 2014 at 6:02 p.m. UTC
Updated Sep 14, 2021 at 2:06 p.m. UTC
Bitcoin derivatives are more in demand than ever, as bitcoin company executives seek a way to hedge balance sheet risk. A liquid futures and options exchange for bitcoin will provide commercial hedging opportunities as well as increase overall price stability. This is not disputed.
What will be contentious, however, are the paths and methods necessary to get there. In this article, I examine exchange structure, exchange jurisdiction, the practicality of various contracts, and existing bitcoin futures markets.
What are derivatives?
Derivatives obtain their name from the fact that they are instruments derived from an underlying spot commodity or index.
In theory, the spot price of the physical commodity underlies and provides the basis for pricing in the futures market due to the explicit option for physical delivery. In the case of an index, cash settlements are typically the norm.
'Call options' and 'put options' based on the futures contract can also be offered. Exchange-traded products differ from customized over-the-counter products in that they are standardized, easily traded and underwritten by the pooled collateral of exchange members.
In the recent working paper from the Mercatus Center, authors Jerry Brito, Houman Shadab, and Andrea Castillo evaluate the emergence of derivatives in the context of bitcoin.
As the most detailed analysis to date concerning bitcoin securities and derivatives regulation, the paper argues that "financial regulators should consider exempting or excluding certain financial transactions denominated in bitcoin from the full scope of their regulations, much like private securities offerings and forward contracts are treated".
The authors also anticipate what form the second wave of bitcoin regulation, mostly in the US, might take. I extend that thinking into the rationale for multi-jurisdictional exchanges and the free market emergence of bitcoin clearing houses to address counterparty risk.
Exchange structure
Any new bitcoin derivatives exchange will have to be electronic with 24/7 availability in order to mirror the existing spot markets for bitcoin trading. Just as with commodity exchanges that trade gold, silver, wheat and soybeans, warehousing partners will need to be established to accommodate the safe storage of bitcoin necessary for exchange integrity.
Ideally, the broker-dealer community will go through one of several wholesale clearing members to access the exchange for their clients, and these clearing members will underwrite the performance risk of their clients.
Posted collateral from the clearing members can take the form of cash, bonds or other liquid instruments determined by the exchange.
Furthermore, reasonable margin rules and position limits will have to be enforced to insulate the exchange and its clearing members during periods of extreme volatility.
Exchange jurisdiction
As evidenced by the likely manipulation in the precious metals markets and the MF Global debacle, government oversight of an exchange is no panacea for mischievous operators because the regulators themselves have been complicit for years.
Obviously, jurisdiction is important for the enforcement of contract performance, but exchanges would not require direct regulation for legitimacy.
Properly structured exchanges could easily facilitate and apply best practices for price discovery, trade clearing and trade settlement. Luxembourg and Gibraltar would be favourable early selections for such an exchange.
Also, multiple jurisdictions would be preferred for bitcoin derivatives exchanges in order to prevent a single jurisdiction, like the US, from exerting too much influence on an exchange that is vital to the bitcoin ecosystem.
Moreover, as bitcoin absorbs a greater and greater portion of overall economic activity, it could become tempting for certain jurisdictions to interfere in the price-discovery mechanism by participating in or encouraging naked short sales.
Former US Secretary of the Treasury Lawrence Summers clearly understood the importance of managing investor expectations by suppressing gold prices as he was one of its principal architects.
In dissecting the methods of manipulation, Paul Craig Roberts, former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy, and investment expert Dave Kranzler conclude that the global volume concentration with just one exchange creates a single point of manipulation.
From their January 2014 paper, Roberts and Kranzler summarize the process:
"When gold hit $1,900 per ounce in 2011, the Federal Reserve realized that $2,000 per ounce could have a psychological impact that would spread into the dollar's exchange rate with other currencies, resulting in a run on the dollar as both foreign and domestic holders sold dollars to avoid the fall in value. Once this realization hit, the manipulation of the gold price moved beyond central bank leasing of gold to bullion dealers in order to create an artificial market supply to absorb demand that otherwise would have pushed gold prices higher. The manipulation consists of the Fed using bullion banks as its agents to sell naked gold shorts in the New York Comex futures market. Short selling drives down the gold price, triggers stop-loss orders and margin calls, and scares participants out of the gold trusts."
As a Fed bullion bank through the acquisition of Bear Stearns, JP Morgan has held aggregated positions in gold and silver far in excess of CME Group position limits, frequently relying on hedger exemptions and waivers.
With digital commodity bitcoin, such brazen price suppression from the authorities may prove to be the "last resort" option and the only viable method for desperate governments seeking to maintain their unfair legal tender monopoly.
Printing paper money to underwrite massive naked short selling on bitcoin exchanges is the greatest single threat to bitcoin's long-term dominance as free market money. Multiple worldwide competitive exchanges would mitigate the impact of such a grim scenario.
Practicality of contracts
From the balance sheet perspective, bitcoin futures contracts would more logically adhere to the standards already in place for currency futures contracts. Therefore, typical contract specifications for bitcoin would include the following currency pairs: XBT/USD, XBT/EUR, XBT/GBP and XBT/CNY (all currently tracked by CoinDesk's BPI).
[post-quote]
Contract months would be quarterly in March, June, September and December, with the last trading day being the 15th of each settlement month.
Contract sizes would vary based on bitcoin valuation and growth, but it is logical to assume that 100-bitcoin and 250-bitcoin contracts would be the early norm. Initially, the minimum trading interval (or tick) would be 0.01 bitcoin.
Proposed margin requirements for the 100-bitcoin contract could be structured at 10.00 bitcoin for initial margin deposit and 8.00 bitcoin for maintenance margin deposit.
Accounts would be marked-to-market at the close of trading day for purposes of determining new margin capital or forced liquidation. For overall integrity, each exchange should also publish and adhere to aggregated position limits.
As pointed out by the Mercatus study, an alternative would be to denominate contract prices in bitcoin and hold margin funds in bitcoin, thereby eliminating the need for traditional bank or financial institution accounts. This would be possible if the contract was cash settled in bitcoin and the exchange maintained bitcoin warehousing requirements.
Existing bitcoin futures markets
Expect the terrain to shift dramatically in the coming months, but currently the largest and most significant bitcoin futures market is ICBIT.se operated by Alex Stukalov. The company is in the process of registering in an offshore jurisdiction and facilitated more than $15m-worth of bitcoin futures trading during the last 30 days.
Romanian-based MPEx operated by Mircea Popescu displays BTC/EUR futures with settlement each month and displays contracts in the standard calendar months for bitcoin "network difficulty" futures, however, it remains to be seen whether sufficient and tradeable liquidity exists. Indeed, MPEx/MPOE shuttered its BTC/USD options trading in February 2014 due to lack of a robust pricing feed.
We can learn a lot about bitcoin futures exchanges by studying these predecessors, especially in the areas of customer support, liquidity and counterparty risk. Neither ICBIT.se nor MPEx serve as a clearinghouse for their customers' trades, which is an essential element of a formal futures exchange. Furthermore, verifiable volume reporting will be critical as these futures exchanges will most likely play an important role for bitcoin price discovery.
The other operators claiming to be in the derivatives and hedging business are actually offering non-standardized margin trading by offering interest rates on borrowed funds. Notable entrants for margin trading include BitFinex, BTC.sx, Bit4x and still-in-beta Coinsetter.
After the unwinding of the Bretton Woods currency arrangement in the 1970s, the gun-slinging traders of the Chicago pits transformed financial futures with various products designed to manage floating currency risk.
Now, nearly 45 years later, cryptocurrency futures markets seem poised to transform currency risk management again in the post-legal tender era.

The Best Celebrity Nip Slips
Ready for an eyeful?
It seems like you can't walk ten feet without seeing a nipple today. First, Lady Gaga all over the CFDA awards, then Khloe Kardashian's six minute exposed nipple extravaganza on Fox and Friends this morning, during which she sat chatting with the hosts in a see through top and no bra. (Showing no embarrassment, Khloe later tweeted: "Thank God! I f*cking love nipples!!!!")
In honor of these two class acts, we decided to do a nip slip retrospective. You may be surprised at some of the starlets who've let their girls come out unannounced. Yes, the usual suspects like Mischa and Paris are there, but so are Keira Knightley and Beyonce.
Read on to get an eyeful. (Needless to say, this is NSFW.)
Janet Jackson's infamous Super Bowl "wardrobe malfunction" meant the end of live TV forever. Stunt or truly an accident? We'll never know.
Keira Knightley looks stunning as usual in this snap, and even the nip looks sophisticated.
Tara Reid had the mother of all nip slips, and in the process came clean about her botched plastic surgeries.
We miss Amy Winehouse, don't you?
In case you were wondering whether or not Penelope Cruz is gorgeous while wet and half naked, the answer is "yes."
Paris Hilton is a repeat offender, but we like this vintage version of her.
Remember when Britney was a truly hot mess?
It's obvious what's attracted Jay-Z's attention here.
Known more for her limo flashing, Mischa Barton had a few nip slips, too.
Jessica Simpson is known for her cleavage--she just showed a bit too much this time.
This is back when Lindsay Lohan was still innocent. Aw, Mean Girls...

Happy Independence Day! A Roundup of the Tackiest Celeb Flag Fashion
It's the Fourth of July, and we're lucky enough to live in a country that allows us the freedom to dress like total jackasses if we want to. Patriotic dressing never gets old and is a perennial favorite of celebs. The problem is that it rarely looks classy, and is almost always tacky. Probably because our flag is red, white, and blue with stars and stripes? That's a lot going on for one outfit. The ironic thing is that a lot of the celebs wearing the Stars and Stripes aren't even from the US. (Hopefully they just think it's cool, kinda how Americans think the Union Jack is cool.) Click through for the most glorious sartorial abuses of our American flag, courtesy of many celebrities.
Versace Fall 2013: Janet Jackson Style--Without the Nip Slips
Subtle, Versace is not. Last night I made my way into Versace's show space on Via Gesu--which is usually "mood" lit so dimly that I have to watch my every step--to find a stark-white, insanely brightly lit room, arranged in a sort of maze-like structure, with the audience seated in the center. Oh, and Janet Jackson was there.
Celebrities Wore Their Sunday Best on Easter
See what Diane Kruger, Reese Witherspoon, Bella Hadid and more wore for the springy holiday.
Khloe Kardashian's Prime Time Nip Slip, Rihanna's Reality Show May Come Stateside, and a Sandy Photoshoot Goes Viral
Khloe Kardashian made her X-Factor US debut--and unfortunately, so did one of her nipples. Maybe a bra endorsement deal will help this family's nip slip woes? {US Weekly} This woman decided that the aftermath of Sandy would make the perfect backdrop for a photoshoot. Seriously. Jezebel has a handy guide for how to pose in the aftermath of a hurricane. {Jezebel} Kate Middleton's royal wedding dress has inspired countless of knockoffs and now her actual engagement photos are being copies--by another princess... {HuffPo} Fans of Rihanna's UK show Styled to Rock can rest easily; the show has not yet been cancelled, and may have even been sold to the Style Network here in the US. {Vogue UK}

Hunan Transportation
Dec 5, 2013 Annie Chen China Travel Guide, Places to Go, Provinces and Territories Leave a comment
Hunan, the birthplace of Mao Zedong, is located in south of the middle reaches of Yangtze River. Spreading east, west and south from the province's Yangtze River basin plain is an astonishing landscape of rough, isolated mountain ranges, forests, lush rice terraces, waterfalls and karst peaks, among which the highlight should be Wulingyuan Scenic and Historic Interest Area of Zhangjiajie. Scattered amidst the natural bounty are welcoming minority villages, wind-and-rain bridges, Taoist temples and the ancient riverside towns of Phoenix and Hongjiang.
Hunan is adjacent to Jiangxi Province in the east, Chongqing Municipality and Guizhou Province in the west, Guangdong Province and Guangxi Autonomous Region in the south, and Hubei Province in the north. With Changsha as its provincial capital, Hunan enjoys a well developed transportation network.
Hunan has two international airports (Changsha Huanghua and Zhangjiajie Hehua airports) and three domestic airports (Changde Taohuayuan, Yongzhou Lingling and Huaihua Zhijiang). Centered on Changsha Huanghua International Airport, most of Chinese cities are covered in the 2-hour flying range. At present, the airline network in Hunan has extended to 78 cities at home and abroad with 118 airlines, including international airlines to Japan, Thailand, South Korea, Singapore and Vietnam, and regional airlines to Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, as well as code-sharing international airlines from Changsha via Shanghai to 7 countries in America, Europe and Australia.
Hunan railway system is well-developed, characterized by 6 major railway branches passing through the entire Hunan province: Beijing-Guangzhou, Hunan-Guiyang, Zhejiang-Jiangxi, Hunan-Guangxi, Shimen-Changsha and Zhicheng-Liuzhou. Wuhan-Guangzhou (Wu-Guang) High-speed Rail (HSR) covers full length of 1,069 km, passing through Hubei, Hunan and Guangdong. The travel time between Changsha to Guangzhou has been shortened from 8 hours to 2 hours, making it become true and a fashion to "drink Cantonese Tea in morning, ascend Yueyang Tower at noon and enjoy songs in Changsha in the evening". The Hunan section of Hukun PDL (Shanghai-Kunming Passenger Designated Line) was put into operation in 2012, travelers from Changsha can reach Shanghai in 3 hours. And the section linking Changsha and Kunming will be completed in 2014, when it will take only 5 hours to travel from Changsha to Kunming. At that time, Changsha will become the first city where two high-speed PDLs converge (the other being Wuhan-Guangzhou High-speed Rail).
The road network in Hunan extends in all directions inside the province and links it with neighboring provinces, with total mileage ranking the third in China. Highways, connected Changsha with 13 cities and one autonomous prefecture, are accessible to major tourist attractions.
Centered on the Dongting Lake and including the Xiangjiang, Zijiang, Yuanjiang and Lishui trunk rivers, a complex water network connecting the Yangtze River in the north links up the whole province. It provides the province a great convenience on traffic, with Yueyang, Changsha, Xiangtan and Zhuzhou, etc. as the important transfer stations of Hunan waterway network.

The Babylon 5 that (thankfully) never was: Season 4
November 12, 2014 babylon 5, babylon 5 reviews, fannish speculation, reviews, the show that never was, tv reviews
Continuing my series attempting to reconstruct how Babylon 5 was originally (for certain values of original) "supposed to" go. More detailed explanation and Season 1 are here, although note that since writing that original post I have gotten access to JMS' "original" treatment and am no longer working from summaries.
Known: Delenn gets pregnant with Sinclair's child. Garibaldi quits his job as Chief of Security as a result of his drinking, and begins operating as a mercenary out of B5. There is no mention of a Psycorps connection, Lise, Edgars Industries, or Zack Allen.
The Shadows would first be shown onscreen at this point, and the description of them, while vague, is consistent with how they appear in the series. They would initially present themselves as fighting to free the other races from the Vorlons, but in truth they desire to rule.
Speculation: Between the lack of a rebellion against Earth and the general slower pace of the treatment as opposed to the series, very little seems to happen this season. Perhaps G'Kar and the Narn resistance would have gotten focus episodes, or some variant on the Centauri Cartagia/rise of Londo plot might have occurred. Another possibility, given events in the treatment's version of Season 5, is that the Minbari Civil War might have started, but not been resolved, during this season.
At this point it should be clear that the series as aired had gone completely off the original rails in Seasons 3 and 4. The Shadow War was resolved in early Season 4 in the series, yet is still a proxy war at the END of Season 4 in the treatment. Babylon 5 is still part of the Earth Alliance, Garibaldi never leaves the station, the entire Mars plot and associated cast is nowhere to be found, and Clark is still in charge with no resistance from Sinclair and company, despite manipulating his way into power via assassination just as in the series.
The Shadows as rebels against Vorlon manipulation is an interesting concept. It leaves open the question of whether the Shadows are one of the younger races manipulated by the Vorlons who have advanced far enough to turn against them, another race of equivalent age and power who just never bothered to get involved before, or, perhaps most interestingly, renegade Vorlons. This would cast an interesting light on the "angelic" presentation of the Vorlons, making the Shadows "fallen angels." It also seems likely that something similar to the "meeting" scene from "Z'ha'dum" would have happened in this version of the show, where someone would explain to Sinclair the Shadows' rationale for their actions. Perhaps Catherine/Caroline would have had that duty. Regardless, it seems that both the treatment and show versions give the Shadows a reasonable-sounding rationale, but belie that rationale through the destructive and manipulative behavior the Shadows have exhibited to this point. In the original plan, it seems likely that there would be a good deal of dramatic irony regarding this point, as the implication in the treatment is that the audience knows how the Shadows are manipulating Londo more or less from the start, but the human characters don't find out until the season 4/season 5 bridge.

I find I rely quite a lot on Pins, and I have maybe 30 Thoughts that at any one time I am constantly connecting other thoughts to.
Thanks for the idea. We will add this idea to the possible feature list.
You may be able to use the selection to accomplish some of what you want to do.


"Music has always been an important part of my life. As a kid I always looked for any solo contest or festival I could be involved in. I started playing the Flute in 6th grade. I played first Alto Sax in the high school Jazz Band. I started playing the French Horn in 11th grade. In 12th grade I made the Oregon All State Band on French Horn. I received a partial Music Scholarship for Clackamas Community college and was able to study music before moving to CA.
After moving to CA I met my husband we started a family and have five children. While raising my children as a stay at home Mom I continued studying music privately. I studied Drums and Bass Guitar. My kids are all involved in music and I volunteer in their school band percussion section. One of my daughters is a top student at San Diego Drumset & Percussion Lessons. I teach Youth Bands and set up and run the Music at Youth Camps. When the youngest of my kids started school I studied Recording Arts at Mira Costa College. I now own and run my own Recording Studio. I'm involved in many productions either performing, setting up and running the sound, or recording the event. I am currently the Sound Engineer for San Diego Center For The Arts. I study Drums and Music Theory with Jeanette Kangas, the founder of San Diego Drumset & Percussion Lessons, and teach the Children's Drum program at San Diego Drumset and Percussion Lessons. I enjoy all aspects of music and think that all kids should have the opportunity to play and enjoy music."

During my time in the Army, following high school graduation, I've had the pleasure to live and serve around the world and I always had the desire to help people in anyway I could, and I did. Some 30+ years later, I am still very passionate to help my fellow "soldier" and with this particular blog, my small business colleagues like yourself.

Q: apache mod_proxy, page reload and sessions I use the apache "mod_proxy" to forward all requests to the glassfish server. The relevant apache config is:
# proxy to glassfish app
  ProxyRequests Off

The problem is the following:
If I use my Vaadin web application without the proxy then the browser page reload button reloads the current view without a new session is created. But if I use the web application with the apache proxy the page reload button creates a new session (and I must login into my application again).
Anybody knowns how I can prevent that I get a new session if I reload a web page by using the apache proxy?
Thanks and regards,
Steffen
PS: with the mod_proxy_ajp I have the same effect

A: This was missing:
ProxyPassReverseCookiePath /myAppVaadin /

This adjust the cookie path so that this is correct and with this the existing session will be taken while the user press the reload button of the browser

With the Feast of the Annunciation coming up, I've been thinking of Mary more than usual lately, focusing particularly on why and how it's important for ME, as a Christian wife and mother, to turn to the Blessed Mother, not only on important feast days or for periodic favors, but on a regular basis. And also on how I need to change the way I think about her sometimes.
Yes, Mary is the perfect woman, the perfect image of faith, the perfect Christian, the perfect mother. Perfect, perfect, perfect. And sinless.
Unreachable, right? Both the visual and verbal images of Our Lady often paint her as an unattainable model – someone we should aspire to imitate, but infinitely removed from the reality of our own beautiful, but flawed, chaotic and sometimes confused reality as spouses and parents.
I'd like to briefly paint a different picture of Our Lady – a picture hopefully a little closer to us. Yes, she is perfect, but she has also gone through a lot of the same emotions, struggles and sufferings we have.
Have you ever been stressed about not knowing the future? Mary can relate. When the Angel came to her, she did not know what the future held for her, or how it would pan out.
Have you ever felt a little insecure, wondering how your spouse will react to something you have to say or want to do? Turn to Mary. She trusted the Angel without knowing how Joseph would react when he found out she was pregnant.
Have you been through a period of financial instability, unemployment, or had to move unexpectedly without having your ducks in a row? Mary (and Joseph) had to move to Egypt at less than a day's notice, with nothing lined up for their arrival.
Have you ever lost a child in the grocery store, or faced a teenage child without knowing what to say? Mary feels your pain. She lost Jesus in the Temple. She didn't understand why he had acted that way, and felt "anxiety" (Lk 2:48).
Have you ever had a miscarriage, or lost a child in some other way? Mary lost her Son too, and suffered more in the process than any of us can ever know.
Have you experienced poverty? Mary can relate. She offered up the "poor man's" offering at the temple – two pigeons.
Have you experienced homelessness, or felt like your home was inadequate? All Mary had to offer Jesus was a stable.
Have you suffered from watching your child suffer and being unable to help them? Think of Mary unable to stop the crucifixion of Jesus.
Mary can relate to more of our struggles and sufferings than we sometimes realize. She faced a lot of the same difficulties and more, and even though she was conceived sinless, she had the freedom to fall and turn against God, just like Eve, who was sinless but then sinned. Mary's initial state of purity came from God, but HER achievement was SUSTAINING that grace by how she reacted to each trial God sent her way. And we can imitate her in that. We might not have the same amount of grace that Mary did, but we can sustain the grace of God in our souls by turning to her more frequently and following her example when faced with life's daily difficulties.
Wishing all of you a very blessed Feast of the Annunciation!
Looking for family activities to do on March 25?
Your homely depiction of St, Mary's domestic life reflects her humility and the aptness of the litany strikes me as evidence of the inspiration of her Divine Spouse, the Holy Ghost. Of course, there is no gulf between our Lady's unique preeminence among our race as the Mother of God (hyperdulia) and her intimate relationship with us as her children. She is, after all, our Mother too, a privilege accorded us by her Divine Son from His cross. Indeed, it reflects the intimacy of the love born for us by her Son, whom we rightly adore as true God (latria). As reflected in Jesus' prayer to His Father in the garden and His crie de coeur on the Cross, Jesus was no stranger to human suffering, indeed submitting to be like us in all ways save sin. This is the beauty of life in this vale of tears, our consolation, and a precious treasure of Holy Mother Church, the bride of Christ. May our heavenly Mother smile on you and yours, dear sister.
Thanks, Mr. Appleby! That's a beautiful reflection!

Philly is finest for former Arizona Wildcats guard McConnell in pursuit of NBA career
A familiar sight with T.J. McConnell on the court, passing to a teammate, generating the offense
LAS VEGAS, Nev. — An NBA beat reporter informed me Friday as many as 15 teams wanted T.J. McConnell on draft night once the two rounds were completed a couple of weeks ago.
San Antonio was one of the most interested but Philadelphia offered more of an incentive to McConnell financially. The 76ers presented a guaranteed contract of $100,000 to play in the NBA Summer League at Salt Lake City and Las Vegas and to participate in training camp in October.
If McConnell makes the regular-season roster and is with the 76ers past January, he will take home at least $400,000 overall for the 2015-16 season. No other team offered one-quarter of that amount up front for the Arizona star like Philadelphia.
"I saw what Philadelphia was trying to do and I wanted to be a part of that," McConnell said Friday night after the 76ers' practice for the Las Vegas NBA Summer League at UNLV's North Gym.
"They showed a tremendous amount of interest in me after the draft was over and it was hard to turn down a guy like Coach (Brett) Brown and (general manager) Sam (Hinkie). They're great people trying to do something special here and I want to be part of that."
Philadelphia is investing in McConnell (6'2″ and 188 pounds) because of the 76ers' tenuous situation at point guard. McConnell and lottery pick Jahlil Okafor are the only rookies who are on both Summer League rosters in Salt Lake City and Las Vegas.
Former Washington player Tony Wroten, listed as a shooting guard, is a possibility at point guard but he is trying to come back from knee surgery last season. Ish Smith is an unrestricted free agent.
Isaiah Canaan, acquired from Houston in a trade in February, is 6'0″ and has yet to establish himself as an everyday NBA point guard.
VIDEO: .@Sixers teammates lift T.J. McConnell up for his first dunk ever http://t.co/8HK0OLIMUA pic.twitter.com/13JFGGeJAg
— Bleacher Report NBA (@BR_NBA) July 10, 2015
T.J. McConnell will play again against D'Angelo Russell on Saturday in the NBA Summer League
Hinkie, who engineered that trade to bolster Philadelphia's back court, is a firm believer in Canaan. But he also respects the leadership qualities of McConnell, whom he personally saw numerous times scouting Arizona's talent over the last two seasons.
"The first thing that you see from him is that he understands his role," said Sixers assistant Billy Lange to Philly.com. "He understands what he should do as a point guard. He's setting the floor and the table for people. He communicates."
Philadelphia's belief in McConnell's ability gave the former Arizona guard confidence to handle the challenge of starting and playing significant minutes in the NBA Summer League games at Salt Lake City.
The 76ers begin play in the Las Vegas Summer League on Saturday at 5:30 p.m. Tucson time. McConnell will go against Los Angeles Lakers rookie D'Angelo Russell, whom he contained defensively when Arizona beat Ohio State in the Round of 32 of the NCAA tournament.
In three games at Salt Lake City, McConnell averaged 6.7 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.0 assists while playing an average of 29.7 minutes. He uncharacteristically had nine turnovers to go with his nine assists and he struggled from the floor before making four of his eight attempts from the field against Utah on Thursday.
Overall, McConnell drew praise from the media who covered the event for the leadership he showed while running Philadelphia's offense.
"It was good to get acclimated with all the coaches," McConnell said of his experience at Salt Lake City. "I wanted to get acclimated with these coaches. It's good. I wouldn't say I got ahead, but I got my feet wet for this (Las Vegas) summer league. It was positive for me to play the games and play in the atmosphere that we did.
"Every day I'm just going to learn something new and that's not going to change. I'm going to come in with the mindset that I have stuff to learn. I'm not a know-it-all. I need to keep being a sponge and absorbing all the information that I get."
T.J. McConnell continues to get encouragement from Sean Miller in his brief time in the NBA Summer League
McConnell acknowledges that he has "a lot of room for improvement", which can be said of most prospects here at the Summer League. He is assured that Philadelphia's staff will work with him as he adapts to the next level.
"Our coaches in Salt Lake were unreal," he said. "Coach Lange was our head coach. He and I really connected. I really liked playing for him and I know it will be the same here.
"I love the coaches here and I love the training staff and the weight staff. They're all just good people and I love it here."
That kind of love is similar to what McConnell experienced at Arizona, a result of the belief Sean Miller showed in him from the time he transferred from Duquesne in 2012. His maturity going from the Atlantic 10 to the Pac-12 created respect from his teammates, a strong bond that time will not break.
He said dinner plans in Las Vegas are in store with Nick Johnson and possibly Brandon Ashley, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and Stanley Johnson.
Nick Johnson is here with Houston. Ashley is also proving himself as an undrafted free agent with Atlanta. Hollis-Jefferson begins play with Brooklyn in the Las Vegas Summer League on Saturday after playing earlier in the week in Orlando. Stanley Johnson may visit Las Vegas. The Detroit Pistons are not part of the Las Vegas Summer League.
"Coach Miller texted me and told me to keep playing hard and do what I do and I'll be fine," he said. "Everyone knows my relationship with Coach Miller, so I don't think I'll lose contact with that guy.
"I talk to the guys a little bit. I think we're all going to meet up here soon to get some dinner, so it will be good to catch up."
McConnell is hoping he can catch up with them during the NBA season when they play the 76ers. The way things are developing for him, don't count out that scenario.

Five takeaways from the Miami Heat's 97-85 loss at the Oklahoma City Thunder

OKLAHOMA CITY – The Miami Heat had cut the Oklahoma City lead to four points early in the third quarter and were feeling pretty good.
Then Russell Westbrook woke up.
The Thunder guard scored or assisted on every point in a 20-0 Thunder run, putting an end to any thoughts of a Heat upset Monday at Chesapeake Energy Arena.
Final score: Oklahoma City 97, Miami 85.
The Heat (2-4) end this road trip against the two teams that lost in last season's conference finals 0-2.
"OKC pretty much jumped on us to start the game," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "And there were a lot of efforts, second opportunity plays, attacks on the rim, multiple offensive rebounds were wearing us out. That hasn't been who we've been."
Miami fell behind the Thunder (6-1) early thanks to its worst defensive quarter of the season and never led again, trailing by as many as 24.
James Johnson lead the Heat with 16 points.
Here are our five takeaways:
1. The game was over early: The Heat started this game with their poorest defensive quarter of the season and never recovered. Miami needed a much better effort, especially playing after two days off, but it was dominated up front and trailed 39-28 after one quarter. Miami allowed OKC to shoot 61.5 percent in the quarter and was outrebounded 13-4. The main culprit was center Hassan Whiteside, who was replaced seven minutes into the game after allowing Enes Kanter to sneak by him for an offensive rebound and put back while standing flat footed. Spoelstra immediately summoned Willie Reed and removed Whiteside, who had yet to score a point or grab a rebound. "I was just missing shots, missing bunnies," Whiteside said. "Their whole team was gangblocking me out on the rebounds. I still had double-digit rebounds. It was still more offensively for me. I missed a lot of hooks I normally make. They're not going to go in every night."
2. You can't stop Russell Westbrook, you can only home to contain him: Westbrook was a non-factor in the first half, scoring six points on 2-of-10 shooting and committing four turnovers. But then he put on a show and led the Thunder run as Miami went scoreless for 5:53 by scoring or assisting on every point. Westbrook finished with 14 points, 11 assists and five rebounds in just 26 minutes. "He's going to have his fingerprints on the game one way of another." Spoelstra said. "It's a matter of time. You have to find your way as competitors to overcome all of that and we didn't."
3. Tough trip: The Heat could not wait to get out of Oklahoma City, and played like it. Whiteside and Justise Winslow, in particular, had tough nights. Whiteside had just five points to go along with 12 rebounds. He shot 2-of-8. And just when it appeared his shooting woes could not get much worse, Winslow hit a new low, going 2-of-13. He came out with 7:20 remaining and looked dejected. Winslow is now shooting 31.1 percent (28-of-90) from the floor. The three-day stay was dominated by talk of Effie, the alleged ghost that haunts their hotel, and the 5.0 earthquake that hit about 60 miles north of OKC on Sunday evening. "I don't want to say every season you have one of those nights but that's what it kind of felt like," Winslow said. "There's points where we were kind of out of it mentally, or whatever, guys taking plays off. But it was a four-point game in the third. That's something we can take away."
4. OKC fans still have a soft spot in their hearts for Dion Waiters: The Heat's starting shooting guard received a loud ovation when he was introduced and then had a tough homecoming with two points on 1-of-9 shooting. Waiters spent a year and a half with the Thunder, averaging just under 11 points and three rebounds. But Waiters was popular with the fans, his teammates and his coach, Billy Donovan. "I had a great experience with him," Donovan said. "Dion is a good person, teammate. I think sometimes people see the body language and immediately project what kind of person he is and that's the furthest thing from the truth. I feel bad for him sometimes on that because that's not who he is. He's about winning. He's very bright. He does a lot of different things to impact the game."
5. Misery loves company: Okay, so the Thunder have overcome losing Kevin Durant better than the Heat have saying good bye to Dwyane Wade. But these two franchise do share a common bond after both lost the face of their franchise. The Thunder were surprised that Durant fled for Golden State after nine seasons with the franchise but not as much as Miami was when Wade departed after 13 years. The biggest difference: Each team had a Robin to their Batman and Miami's also is gone with Chris Bosh dealing with blood clot issues and OKC's returns and Russell Westbrook is playing at MVP level, leading the Thunder to a surprising 6-1 start.

PHP String Function Mini-Quiz 8: From strrchr() to substr_compare().
[If needle comprises more than one character, only the first one is used; this behaviour differs from strstr(). If needle is not a string it is converted to an integer and applied as the ordinal value of a character.] strrchr(): returns the portion of string, or FALSE if needle is not found.
[Reverse a string] This function returns string, reversed. strrev(string); strrev(): returns the reversed string.
[needle may be a string of one or more characters; if it is not a string, it is converted to an integer and applied as the ordinal value of a character. If offset is specified and positive, searching will begin this number of characters counted from the beginning of haystack; if negative, searching will begin this number of characters counted from the end of haystack.] strripos(): returns the position of where the last ['reverse'] case-insensitive needle exists relative to haystack [independent of offset]. String positions start at 0 and not 1. Returns FALSE if needle was not found.
[needle may be a string of one or more characters; if it is not a string, it is converted to an integer and applied as the ordinal value of a character. If offset is specified and positive, searching will begin this number of characters counted from the beginning of haystack; if negative, searching will begin this number of characters counted from the end of haystack.] strrpos(): returns the position of where the last ['reverse'] case-sensitive needle exists relative to haystack [independent of offset]. String positions start at 0 and not 1. Returns FALSE if needle was not found.
[If start is specified and is positive, strspn() will begin examining subject from the startth position. If start is negative, strspn() begins examining subject start positions from the end of the string. If length is given and is non-negative, strspn() examines subject for length characters after the starting position. If length is negative, subject will be examined from start up to length characters from the end of subject.] strspn(): returns the length ['span'] of the initial segment of subject string which consists entirely of characters in mask. When a start parameter is set, length is counted from this starting position – not from the beginning of subject.
strtok(token); strtok(): returns a string token.
[Make a string lowercase] This function returns string with all alphabetic characters converted to lowercase. 'Alphabetic' is determined by the current locale: in the default C locale, characters such as umlaut-A – for example – will not be converted. strtolower(string); strtolower(): returns string converted to lowercase.
[Make a string uppercase] This function returns string with all alphabetic characters converted to uppercase. 'Alphabetic' is determined by the current locale: in the default C locale, characters such as umlaut-A – for example – will not be converted. strtoupper(string); strtoupper(): returns string converted to uppercase.
[If given two arguments, the replace_array should be of the form array('from' => 'to'). The return value is a string where all occurrences of the array keys have been replaced by the corresponding array values. The longest keys will be tried first; once a substring has been replaced, its new value will not be searched again. The keys and values may have any length, provided that there is no empty key; the length of the return value may differ from that of string. This function will be most efficient when all the keys have the same size.] strtr(): returns the translated string on success. If replace_array contains a key which is an empty string, FALSE is returned. If string is not scalar it is not typecasted into a string; instead a warning is raised and NULL is returned.
[offset specifies the position at which to start counting. If negative, the comparison begins at offset characters from the end of the string.] substr_compare(): returns <0 if main_string from position offset is less than second_string; returns >0 if main_string from position offset is greater than second_string; returns 0 if main_string from position offset is equal to second_string. A WARNING is printed and FALSE is returned if offset is equal to or greater than the length of main_string, or the length is set and less than 1 in PHP versions prior to 5.5.11.

Thanks to its M18 thread, the FLEXPOINT MV18 line laser module can easily be integrated into standardized systems. LASER COMPONENTS is going to present this new product at the Vision Show 2018 in Boston, Massachusetts. It is designed to deliver homogeneous power distribution along the entire projected line – an important requirement for its use in machine vision. The robust module is available in an extensive range of wavelengths between 405 nm and 850 nm. With an output power of up to 200 mW, the 450 nm version currently is the most powerful of the entire MV series.
The FLEXPOINT MV18 can be quickly focused by means of a precise mechanism, which ensures high beam stability and low line drift. The power supply can be connected by an M12 thread at the rear of the module.
Five optics variants with different combinations of line thickness and depth of field are available to match the demands of different applications. In addition to the standard version with adjustable focus, LASER COMPONENTS also offers the module in a low-priced version with factory-fixed focus.

Just wondering who you guys think are the best CSGO players in NZ? Best I have seen in RyanC1256, a bit of a clutch pro but he has given up streaming and YouTube so I need someone else to watch/support.
He sounds good, what rank is he?
Grat probably one of the best I've seen in a long time.
Ofnu is probably the best overall player right now.
It would be interesting to know what the old px players are doing nowerdays, if anyone still plays under the radar? Nick might know!
we know simcore plays but what about Slaught, brad'r, john'a, rezin! any of the old boys play anymore?
coaching! that'll be sick! the iPlay boys coming to pingzero again next month?
Slaught's too busy getting married and going on awesome holidays.
Only if we can listen to him rage. Still the funniest thing.


Newspaper publisher Trinity Mirror has sold the Racing Post to an Irish investment firm for £170m as part of a planned shake-up.
The group said it will retain its regional titles in the Midlands and the South East because the offers it received did not reflect their value.
The Racing Post will be taken over by FL Partners, a Dublin-based private equity group.
The sale comes amid falling advertising and circulation revenues at Trinity.
Trinity Mirror said that conditions in debt markets following the recent credit crunch had limited potential bidders for the firm's regional titles that include the Birmingham Post.
The group said in December last year that it planned to sell off the Racing Post and a number of regional papers.
It said it would instead focus on national and regional newspaper titles in Scotland, the North of England and Wales, and UK digital assets.
Chief Executive Sly Bailey said that the sale of Racing Post would likely be the last in its disposal process.
"The process will enable Trinity Mirror to go forward as a more tightly-focused media group, which is nimbler and more able to respond to the opportunities in its markets."
Shares in Trinity Mirror were up 0.5% or 2 pence to 414p in Monday morning trading in London.

Panasonic LUMIX S1H to be showcased at prestigious international film festival
See the Panasonic LUMIX S1H, VariCam range and EVA1 cinema camera on the ProAV stand at EnergaCAMERIMAGE in Poland from November 9-16
The LUMIX Masterclass held Wednesday, November 13 at 7.15pm CET at the CKK Jordanki venue
The cinematography credentials of the full-frame mirrorless Panasonic LUMIX S1H are to be showcased in front of many of the world's greatest filmmakers in the prestigious EnergaCAMERIMAGE festival from 9-16 November at Torun in Poland.
The 27th annual EnergaCAMERIMAGE International Film Festival of the Art of Cinematography is globally recognised as the most prestigious festival of its kind, showcasing ground-breaking movies and documentaries as well as the best equipment and talent. This year, awards will be given to actors Richard Gere, Danny DeVito and Edward Norton, as well as a joint award to director Quentin Tarantino and his cinematographer Robert Richardson.
Panasonic will be showing and demonstrating a consumer camera for the first time to this influential audience at the festival. It will be alongside the professional VariCam range and EVA1 cinema cameras on a stand with partners, leading UK retailer ProAV.
Experts will be on hand to answer questions about the ground-breaking LUMIX S1H, the world's first full-frame camera capable of video recording at 6K/24p and 10-bit 60p in 4K/C4K. With its newly-developed 24.2-megapixel full-frame image sensor, it offers more than 14 stops of dynamic range and features Panasonic's Dual Native ISO as well as V-Log / V-Gamut that are compatible with the popular VariCam Look colorimetry, making it an ideal partner camera. And with Anamorphic 4:3 modes, it brings the popular CinemaScope look to a wider audience in a small and affordable package.
To back up its use for filmic shooting with conventional spherical lenses, the LUMIX S1H will also be demonstrated with a range of the latest German-made BLACKWING7 lenses that offer tuneable optics to give a vintage, softer feel. Blacksail11 will be representing these TRIBE7 brand lenses at the show.
The highlight of the show for Panasonic is a dedicated LUMIX Masterclass on Wednesday, November 13 at 7.15pm CET at the CKK Jordanki centre, the main venue hosting the festival.
At this event, film director Peter Hamblin and his DoP Sam Dewar will speak about their film project "In Hope of Nothing" shot solely with the Panasonic LUMIX S1H. The camera enabled Peter to fulfil his dream of shooting a narrative feature film on true anamorphic lenses and he will be talking about the experience and how Panasonic LUMIX technology made it possible.
