Q: Как проксировать подключение к PostgreSQL, с помощью nginx? Схема. Публичный прокси-сервер на nginx. Он проксирует HTTP-запросы на другой сервер в частной сети. На этом частном сервере запущено Django-приложение, которое использует  PostgreSQL. База находится на этом же частном сервере.
Задача. Нужно настроить доступ к базе, для того, чтобы можно было подключаться через pgAdmin4. Через HTTPS.
Что сделано?

*

*Настроен доступ к базе из прокси-сервера (инструкция).

*Добавлен nginx-конфиг для прокси.

Вопрос. Я понимаю, что в данной случае, нельзя просто проксировать запросы, как с HTTP. Поиски в гугле ничего не дали. Единственное на что обратил внимание, это то, что, возможно, здесь нужно использовать nginx-кий stream. Так ли это? Нужно смотреть в сторону stream? Если у кого-то есть материал о том, как это сделать, буду благодарен. :)

A car is reportedly 'on its roof' after a crash near Vagg Lane and Tintinhull Road.
A car has reportedly flipped 'onto its roof' and is causing delays on a road in Yeovil.
Tinitnhull Road is partially blocked due to the accident near Vagg Lane, according to traffic service INRIX.
The service has said that traffic is 'coping well'.
One witness has described how the crash is affecting traffic.
He said: "I was on my way to work and saw a car on its roof. Police were directing traffic and it delayed my journey.
"It happened near the Carpenters Arms, right on the bend as you come in to Yeovil.
"The car is in one lane, but because of the tight road and the fact it's on a bend, it's still a bit of a squeeze to get through."
The road has now cleared.

Who Is Going To Rescue Liverpool?
By John Toher on August 6, 2010
Written by John Toher.
With all the take-over rumours abounding Liverpool these days, its hard to know what will happen at Anfield.
KENNY HUANG and the China Investment Corporation are serious bidders, dealing with RBS over their £257 million debt , which the are offering to pay-off as well as giving Hicks & Gillette a £320 million payout.
YAHYA KIRDI; Fronting a bid for Liverpool with wealthy backers from the Middle-East and Canada, although he made a similar bid in April and was rebuffed.
RHONE CAPITAL& the AL-Kharafi family of the Middle-East are also interested.
KEITH HARRIS Former Chaiman of the Football League, is also believed to be representing bidders for Liverpool FC.
Martin Broughton today asserted that " Any bids that go to RBS go straight to me and are directed to Barclays Capital, who are charged with the sale of Liverpool FC." Turbulent times at Anfield, lets hope a new buyer is found soon to get the club rocking again.
Friends of Liverpool

The Mayor, Cllr Hosking, began the meeting by calling for a minute's silence in memory of the victims of the atrocity in Manchester and for the murdered Marazion resident.
135 The Minutes having been circulated previously it was proposed by Cllr Laity and seconded Cllr Vincent that the minutes were deemed to be a true and correct record, carried unanimously.
136 Minute 125(d). (Folly Field flower bed) The clerk reported that nothing had been heard from CORMAC by way of a quotation for clearing the flower bed, as requested by Cllr Mitchell. Cllr Hosking reported that she had met a representative of CORMAC at the Devon County Show and that CORMAC will help with volunteers with gardening projects. The clerk was instructed to contact Ms Munday whose details Cllr Hosking provided. The clerk said he would ask Ms Munday to liaise with Cllr Hosking.
137. Minute 127. (Benches at the Folly Field). The clerk suggested that a councillor volunteers to investigate various benches and suppliers, with a view to reporting back at the next meeting, so the ordering of them could be taken forward. Given that "Best Value" ought to be given, the clerk suggested looking at various companies. Cllr Britten volunteered to do this.
139. (Smoking bin in the Maypole Garden) Cllr Laity that the Godolphin Arms wanted to put another Smoking Bin in the Maypole Garden. The Council agreed that this could be done and Cllr Laity agreed to inform the management at the Godolphin Arms accordingly.
140. (Ongoing garden maintenance at the Folly Field toilets) Cllr Laity advised that Mr. Richard Tucker has cleared up very well round the Folly Field toilets and that they are now looking good. Cllr Laity asked if the Council wished Mr. Tucker to go there on a regular basis to keep the area tidy. It was proposed by Cllr Vincent, seconded by Cllr Hosking, that Mr. Tucker be asked to do this. This was carried unanimously and Cllr Vincent said that he would ask Mr. Tucker to do this.
141 (Security Gate for Folly Field toilets) Cllr Laity reported on the quote received for this from South West Metal Works. Given that it was considered desirable to have this gate to prevent the public gaining access to the electricity box, and to prevent the area being used as a "convenience" when the toilets were closed, it was proposed by Cllr Britten, seconded by Cllr Laity, that this gate be obtained from South West Metal Works. The clerk was instructed to contact South West Metal Works accordingly.
142. (Signage for Folly Field playground) Cllr Laity showed "mock-ups" of the proposed signs. After discussion, it was proposed by Cllr Vincent, seconded by Cllr Hosking, that the proposed signs be obtained. This was carried unanimously and Cllr Laity will contact Multesigns to have them made up.
143. It was decided to defer this (Electrical supply to East End Garages and Store) until Cllr Trudgen returned.
PA17/03852. Conversion of timber buildings into accommodation for the disabled. The Cottage, Gears Lane, Goldsithney. It was proposed by Cllr Vincent, seconded by Cllr Britten, that the application be supported. Carried unanimously.

b) Letter of thanks from Rotary Club of Mounts Bay for donation. This was noted.
146 The clerk reported on the following.
Council committees and "portfolios". The Clerk, having previously circulated his brief on the matter, the Council agreed in principle that the old committees should cease to have effect. Cllr Vincent said that he was prepared to take on the role of keeping the cemetery, footpaths and allotments under supervision. It was felt that it would be better to wait until the Council was up to full strength before deciding who would take responsibility for other areas of the Council's business.
Asset Risk Assessments. Similarly, it was agreed to defer considering this until the Council was up to full strength.
Adoption of Cornwall Council's Code of Conduct April 2017. This having previously been circulated, it was proposed by Cllr Laity that it be adopted. This was seconded by Cllr Britten and carried unanimously.
Mayor Choosing "wash-up". It was agreed that this had been a success, with a very happy atmosphere. It was felt that, on subsequent occasions, it would be much better to have name places for each guest, with a note of what he or she had ordered on each guest's placed name.
Accident at Football Field playground. The clerk reported that he had received a call from a resident following an accident that her daughter had had in the Football Field playground. Given that the resident had said she had been advised to sue, the clerk reported that he had been in touch with the Council's insurers and now awaited developments.
147 Receive Profit and Loss account, Bank Reconciliation Statement, Prior Year Report and Budget Variance report for April 2017. These having been previously circulated were noted. Cllr Laity felt that, once the Council was up to strength, Mr. Mathews be asked to come and explain the various reports. Given that the Council's business was becoming more involved, and that greater sums of money were now passing through its hands, and given that the clerk's workload was likely to increase, the Council felt that it might be a good idea to consider appointing a separate Responsible Financial Officer. The clerk was asked to look into this.
148. Bank Mandate form. The clerk asked Councillors to deal with these.
It was proposed Cllr Laity and seconded Cllr Hosking that the payments be paid, carried unanimously.
151 There being no further business the Mayor closed the meeting at 20.56 hours.

Department Policies
Equal Employment Opportunity: The U.S. Department of Justice is an Equal Opportunity/Reasonable Accommodation Employer. Except where otherwise provided by law, there will be no discrimination because of color, race, religion, national origin, political affiliation, marital status, disability (physical or mental), age, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, protected genetic information, pregnancy, status as a parent, or any other nonmerit-based factor. The Department of Justice welcomes and encourages applications from persons with physical and mental disabilities. The Department is firmly committed to satisfying its affirmative obligations under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, to ensure that persons with disabilities have every opportunity to be hired and advanced on the basis of merit within the Department of Justice. For more information, please review our full EEO Statement.
Reasonable Accommodations: This agency provides reasonable accommodation to applicants with disabilities where appropriate. If you need a reasonable accommodation for any part of the application and hiring process, please notify the agency. Determinations on requests for reasonable accommodation will be made on a case-by-case basis.
Outreach and Recruitment for Qualified Applicants with Disabilities: The Department encourages qualified applicants with disabilities, including individuals with targeted/severe disabilities to apply in response to posted vacancy announcements. Qualified applicants with targeted/severe disabilities may be eligible for direct hire, non-competitive appointment under Schedule A (5 C.F.R. § 213.3102(u)) hiring authority. Individuals with disabilities are encouraged to contact one of the Department's Disability Points of Contact (DPOC) to express an interest in being considered for a position. See list of DPOCs.
Suitability and Citizenship: It is the policy of the Department to achieve a drug-free workplace and persons selected for employment will be required to pass a drug test which screens for illegal drug use prior to final appointment. Employment is also contingent upon the completion and satisfactory adjudication of a background investigation. Congress generally prohibits agencies from employing non-citizens within the United States, except for a few narrow exceptions as set forth in the annual Appropriations Act (see, https://www.usajobs.gov/Help/working-in-government/non-citizens/). Pursuant to DOJ component policies, only U.S. citizens are eligible for employment with the Executive Office for Immigration Review, U.S. Trustee's Offices, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Unless otherwise indicated in a particular job advertisement, qualifying non-U.S. citizens meeting immigration and appropriations law criteria may apply for employment with other DOJ organizations. However, please be advised that the appointment of non-U.S. citizens is extremely rare; such appointments would be possible only if necessary to accomplish the Department's mission and would be subject to strict security requirements. Applicants who hold dual citizenship in the U.S. and another country will be considered on a case-by-case basis. All DOJ employees are subject to a residency requirement. Candidates must have lived in the United States for at least three of the past five years. The three-year period is cumulative, not necessarily consecutive. Federal or military employees, or dependents of federal or military employees serving overseas, are excepted from this requirement. This is a Department security requirement which is waived only for extreme circumstances and handled on a case-by-case basis.
Veterans: There is no formal rating system for applying veterans' preference to attorney appointments in the excepted service; however, the Department of Justice considers veterans' preference eligibility as a positive factor in attorney hiring. Applicants eligible for veterans' preference must include that information in their cover letter or resume and attach supporting documentation (e.g., the DD 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty and other supporting documentation) to their submissions. Although the "point" system is not used, per se, applicants eligible to claim 10-point preference must submit Standard Form (SF) 15, Application for 10-Point Veteran Preference, and submit the supporting documentation required for the specific type of preference claimed (visit the OPM website, www.opm.gov/forms/pdf_fill/SF15.pdf for a copy of SF 15, which lists the types of 10-point preferences and the required supporting document(s). Applicants should note that SF 15 requires supporting documentation associated with service- connected disabilities or receipt of nonservice-connected disability pensions to be dated 1991 or later except in the case of service members submitting official statements or retirement orders from a branch of the Armed Forces showing that his or her retirement was due to a permanent service-connected disability or that he/she was transferred to the permanent disability retired list (the statement or retirement orders must indicate that the disability is 10% or more).

YA Characters as Disney Princes and Princesses #29
Prince Adam from "Beauty and the Beast" as
Mr. Darcy from
"Pride & Prejudice" by Jane Austen
Pride and Prejudice follows Elizabeth Bennet, as she deals with issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education, and marriage in the society of the landed gentry of the British Regency. Elizabeth is the second of five daughters of a country gentleman living near the fictional town of Meryton in Hertfordshire, near London. Page 2 of a letter from Jane Austen to her sister Cassandra (11 June 1799) in which she first mentions Pride and Prejudice, using its working title First Impressions.
Set in England in the early 19th century, Pride and Prejudice tells the story of Mr and Mrs Bennet's five unmarried daughters after the rich and eligible Mr Bingley and his status-conscious friend, Mr Darcy, have moved into their neighbourhood. While Bingley takes an immediate liking to the eldest Bennet daughter, Jane, Darcy has difficulty adapting to local society and repeatedly clashes with the second-eldest Bennet daughter, Elizabeth.
About the Author: Jane Austen was an English novelist whose works of romantic fiction, set among the landed gentry, earned her a place as one of the most widely read writers in English literature, her realism and biting social commentary cementing her historical importance among scholars and critics.
Austen lived her entire life as part of a close-knit family located on the lower fringes of the English landed gentry. She was educated primarily by her father and older brothers as well as through her own reading. The steadfast support of her family was critical to her development as a professional writer. Her artistic apprenticeship lasted from her teenage years until she was about 35 years old. During this period, she experimented with various literary forms, including the epistolary novel which she tried then abandoned, and wrote and extensively revised three major novels and began a fourth. From 1811 until 1816, with the release of Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1815), she achieved success as a published writer.
About the Disney Character: As a child, Prince Adam lacked compassion and was transformed into a Beast by an enchantress. He thought he was incapable of being loved until he met Belle. He became more kind hearted and fell in love with Belle, sacrificing his happiness for her own. Ultimately, he transformed back into a prince as he finally learn to love someone else and lived happily ever after.

BIS és un segell discogràfic suec, fundat l'any 1973 per Robert von Bahr. L'objectiu inicial era omplir els buits existents en les gravacions de diferents tipus de músiques, amb una especial atenció a la música clàssica, incloent-hi tots els repertoris des de l'Edat mitjana fins als contemporanis. Una altra característica del segell és l'elevada qualitat del so obtingut en les seves gravacions, reconeguda pels melòmans més exigents.

El seu catàleg conté més de 1700 títols entre els que mereixen destacar l'obra completa del compositor finès Jean Sibelius, amb 68 discos; altres compositors nòrdics presents en el seu catàleg són Kalevi Aho, Chrsitian Lindberg, Geirr Tveitt, o Jón Leifs, entre d'altres. Cal destacar, també, la integral de les cantates de Johann Sebastian Bach, interpretades pel Bach Collegium Japan sota la direcció de Masaaki Suzuki, iniciat el 1995.

The latest solo album from Steve's long and successful career is packed full with fine musicianship and styles. This new release features old friend Tony Levin on bass and offspring from Steve and Rick Wakeman in the shape of Oliver Wakeman and Virgil Howe sharing the keyboards, with Dylan Howe on drums.
All the YES fans reading this, will know Steve from that very same band, and when you hear this release, you can pick out Steve's input within the band. This is an experimental album, and is full of colourful melodies from other styles and cultures of music, such as African, Latino and a brief Santana style influence.
Fifteen tracks make up the just-over-the-hour-mark barrier of the album, which is a pleasing listen. All of the tracks differ from the preceding ones in tempo and style, and with no vocals at all, make way for Steve to flex his guitar muscles with some amazing solos.
Steve plays a Sitar on certain tracks, and knowing that fellow Yes man Jon Anderson likes real instruments also must have struck a chord in Steve's mind to use one on his projects. With Steve's impressive C.V, and his influences to many guitarists today, this album will be very welcomed by a lot of players today.
With so many styles on offer, it is difficult to gauge a highlight, but it is very well performed and it will certainly appeal to any YES fan on the planet. I would recommend it to anyone that likes instrumentals with good sounds and performances.

DCSPCA to Honor Animal Rights Advocate Mindy Franklin Levine at Annual Benefit
September 30, 2019 /0 Comments/in Events, News /by Penny Schouten
The Dutchess County SPCA is pleased to announce that Mindy Franklin Levine, renowned animal advocate and resident of Dutchess County and New York City, will be recognized as the esteemed honoree of its annual benefit in December.
the DCSPA's Holiday Gift for the Animals,
please contact lynne@dcspca.org
"DCSPCA is on a new path in its mission and operations," said Lynne Meloccaro, Executive Director, "Mindy's lifetime of work for the rights and safety of animals embodies the highest ideals of animal welfare. In honoring her, we are confirming our dedication to those ideals." Since January, DCSPCA has undergone some sweeping changes, including the hiring of experienced animal care and medical directors, the instituting of new protocols that reflect the best practices in animal welfare, and the expansion of its humane law enforcement operation.
Levine is a passionate voice for a number of animal welfare causes, and along with her husband, New York Yankees President Randy Levine, has worked tirelessly in support of animal rights throughout the immediate area and across the United States as well as overseas.
"It is an honor and my pleasure to have an opportunity to participate in a joint venture with Dutchess County SPCA. I had originally signed on as a volunteer because my hopes and dreams for this shelter and humane law enforcement are being realized each and every day by the hard-working, dedicated staff and administration of DSPCA. One only has to look at their ever-increasing and successful adoption rates as well as their newsworthy advocacy in humane law – including several high-profile investigations and arrests – to understand the importance of such an organization in an area as critical to New York State as Dutchess County."
In addition to her advocacy work, Levine also serves as Director of the Yankees Universe Fund, which supports children's programs and pediatric cancer research at Memorial Sloan Kettering. Levine and her husband, Randy, reside with their seven dogs, six of which have special needs. The Levines also have four horses (including "Oreo" the former NYC carriage horse) a mule, a donkey, and two cows.
DCSPCA's benefit will be held on Sunday, December 15 at the Culinary Institute of America. All proceeds from the benefit will go directly to the care of animals in its shelter and medical facility.
The mission of the Dutchess County SPCA is to make the community safe and humane for companion animals and people in Dutchess County, New York. Established in 1871, the shelter provides temporary accommodations for stray and homeless companion animals in an environment that meets or exceeds the needs of the companion animals, encourage adoptions with new families, and accessibility to veterinary wellness treatment. To make a charitable financial contribution, please call (845) 452-7722 or visit dcspca.org

A preppy crew pullover gets a lift from stripes at the hem and cuffs accentuated by a staggered rib that subtly interlocks the two colors. Simple techniques make this pattern accessible to the adventurous beginner; a classic fit and tailored shaping will make it an everyday favorite in your wardrobe. Choose a high-contrast or bright accent for the stripes — the sample is shown in Fossil + Tent — or use closely related shades for an understated look.

Global Data Synchronization
Created by Former Member on Jan 06, 2012
The Global Data Synchronization ES bundle allows retailers to easily and automatically import and update product information using GS1's Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN).
What the Global Data Synchronization ES Bundle Does
Formerly, updated product information was exchanged using EDI. The Global Data Synchronization ES bundle uses XML messages. Using EDI, the data included many products the retailer didn't need. This ES bundle allows retailers to connect to many manufacturers easily and receive only the data they need in a single easy-to-use format. It eliminates the retail headache of manually tracking and updating information on hundreds or even thousands of products.
Subscriptions to Product Information
The Global Data Synchronization ES bundle allows a retailer to subscribe to a particular product or group of products from a manufacturer through a data pool or on a peer-to-peer basis, directly with a manufacturing company. Whenever the product size, availability, or other feature changes, the latest information is automatically sent to the retailer.
Global Data Synchronization (click to enlarge)
The System Landscape
The Global Data Synchronization ES bundle streamlines product data sharing using a sophisticated web-based architecture that allows retailers and manufacturers anywhere in the world to communicate. The retailer's SAP ERP system connects with a third-party recipient data pool, which is linked to GS1's global registry. The registry maintains GTINs (global trade identification numbers, formerly called EANs or UPC codes) for millions of products. In turn, the global registry provides links to third-party source data pools, which are linked to the manufacturer's backend system.
Subscribing to Product Updates
The retailer follows a four-step process to receive and update product master data from a manufacturer.
Step 1: Retailer selects products. In SAP ERP 6.0, the retailer calls up the ES bundle's subscription user interface. The interface allows the retailer to select specific products or groups of products to track and receive updates on. The source data pool is responsible for retrieving the specified data. Subscriptions can be established to a single product (GTIN), a manufacturer (global location number, or GLN), or a category of products (global product classification, GPC).
Step 2: Retailer receives confirmation of the subscription. The source data pool sends the retailer a confirmation of the subscription.
Step 3: The source data pool sends the requested information. Once the subscription is confirmed, the source data pool sends out the requested data which lists the products and their new specifications, including color, size, and so on, every time the product attributes change. This information is sent directly to the recipient data pool and then on to the retailer's SAP ERP 6.0 system. To ensure the correct product information has been sent out, the manufacturer had previously routed the product data through the global registry to confirm the GTINs.
Step 4: Retailer selectively updates product master data. The new product data is sent to a staging area, where the retailer can monitor incoming messages and verify the data prior to updating product information. Validation rules can be applied to the data using the rule engine in SAP ERP 6.0. Once the retailer has the new product data in hand, he can either automatically update the old product master data with the new specifications or manually update the data on a case-by-case basis. Rules can be established so that data from certain manufacturers or classifications are either always automatically accepted or always manually confirmed. In the latter case, the interface allows the retailer to view the new specifications line-by-line with the old product master data. The retailer can select or reject the updates as he sees fit for each product and then save the updated information in the SAP ERP system. The retailer can also enhance the product master data with any new specifications that he believes are important. The interface includes three lines of data: the current data in SAP ERP 6.0, the new data that has come in, and a work line where the desired updates can be made and used to update the SAP ERP system.
The Global Data Synchronization ES bundle connects with ERP's rule engine which provides the flexibility to make changes in the transformation or validation of the data when needed. The rule engine is a generic tool that allows you to check or enrich data.
Performing a One-Time Check for Updates
Instead of subscribing to updates on a particular product, the ES bundle also allows a retailer to do a one-time check for updates on a particular product. The retailer logs on to the user interface and sends out a request for information on the product using its GTIN. The request is transmitted through the data pools to the manufacturer. The source data pool delivers the information to the retailer, who can view it in the maintenance interface.
The Global Data Synchronization ES bundle leverages enterprise SOA by connecting a retailer's ERP data to that of his manufacturers and suppliers using XML messaging through GDSN.
The Global Data Synchronization ES bundle can be used by retail companies of any size and type. It is especially useful for retailers with ever-changing product assortments. The Global Data Synchronization ES bundle is typically operated out of a company's headquarters, purchasing departments, and so on. The Global Data Synchronization ES bundle is useful for any retailer seeking to streamline and automate its data management systems.
Typically, the job titles using this ES bundle include purchaser and product category manager.

How To Use This ES Bundle
Inefficient master data management is one of the top reasons for loss of profits among retailers. In order for retailers to access information about any of a vendor's products, they are often saddled with importing all of the data related to that vendor's products – making for a bulky, hard-to-manage data system.
At most companies today, data sharing involves either tremendous manual maintenance efforts, or high numbers of interfaces for data exchange that require EDI, XML, flat files, or other formats. Further slowing the processes, many IT environments are unable to handle industry standard requirements, and most interfaces are one-to-one, making for a large, complicated web of incompatible networks. One researcher estimates that such inefficient processes will cost retailers $2.1 billion by 2008.
The Global Data Synchronization ES bundle allows retailers to cherry-pick data on the specific products they wish to receive, confirm the accuracy and safety of importing the data, and purge information at will. Since the ES bundle gives the customer the option to receive data from an external source data pool as well as directly from manufacturers, retailers can access this information from anywhere in the world.
This section will explore two use cases for the Global Data Synchronization ES bundle. Each use case provides concrete examples and shows how different outcomes can be achieved by using the enterprise services in different combinations. While these examples illustrate a few of the ways that this ES bundle could be used, the intention is to show the flexibility and reusability of these business objects and enterprise service operations so that you will have a clearer understanding of how to best deploy them in your own environment. This wiki is also a space for you to share knowledge and collaborate with others who are implementing the Global Data Synchronization ES bundle.
Use Case 1: Subscribing to Product Information Updates
World Wide Garden, a multinational landscape supply retailer, needs to streamline the maintenance of master data for its products. This use case explains how World Wide Garden can subscribe to product updates from suppliers and then use those updates to automatically or selectively enter new product master data in its ERP system.
Setting Up Global Data Synchronization
A World Wide Garden business architect needs to set up global data synchronization with its vendors. World Wide Garden needs to set up connections to each vendor's source data pool. World Wide Garden also needs to connect to the recipient data pool, which links directly to its ERP system and the global registry operated by GS1. (Here a simple diagram showing the components).
Selecting Products for Automatic Data Updates
Once initial setup is complete, World Wide Garden purchaser Larry can log onto the subscription user interface in SAP ERP 6.0. Larry can select a single type of product or a whole category of products he wants to receive updates on.
Defining Update Notifications
In the next step, Larry uses the enterprise service Request Trade Item Catalogue Subscription to select the types of product changes World Wide Garden would like to receive. For example, Larry wants to be informed any time there is a change to weight, availability, or the price of any of the products he selected.
Confirming Receipt of Subscription Information
The source data pool sends out the Trade Item Catalogue to World Wide Garden when there is an update corresponding to a product that meets the notification criteria. The data travels from the source data pool to the recipient data pool and finally to the World Wide Garden's ERP system. On receipt of the update, World Wide Garden sends back a message to the source data pool confirming its delivery using the enterprise service Confirm Trade Item Catalogue Transmission.
Selectively Updating Master Data
Updating: Larry logs onto the maintenance interface in SAP ERP to choose which product master data to update from a list of incoming items. At any time, he can update World Wide Garden product master data for items he selects.
Editing: Larry uses the maintenance interface to view attributes for individual products. The interface allows for a view of the new product data (weight, color, etc.) line-by-line with the attributes for the product stored in the old ERP master data. Larry can enter new values for each of the attributes. He might want to shorten a name, correct an erroneous attribute value sent from the manufacturer, or include new data not sent in the update. When he is finished, Larry can apply the changes to update the master data in ERP.
Canceling a Subscription
Larry can cancel a catalog subscription from any nonperforming vendor and set up a new subscription service with more reliable or less expensive suppliers. He logs onto the subscription user interface in SAP ERP and selects the subscription to cancel, which invokes the Request Trade Item Catalogue Subscription Cancellation enterprise service. This service sends out a message to the recipient data pool and on to the source data pool, which cancels his subscription. The source data pool sends a message back to Larry confirming the cancellation.
Use Case 2: One-time Product Update
In addition to receiving subscriptions to changes in product information, you can use the services in the Global Data Synchronization ES bundle to receive one-time product updates.
Requesting Data on One Product
World Wide Garden's purchaser uses the enterprise service Request for Trade Item Catalogue Transmission Request to retrieve information about one product, supplying the Global Trade Identification Number (GTIN) and the manufacturer's Global Location Number (GLN) to get data on the product.
Receiving the Data
The Request for Trade Item Catalogue Transmission Request enterprise service sends a message through the recipient data pool to source pool. The source data pool sends a message back notifying Amanda it has received the request. The source data pool then sends the product data back through the data pools to World Wide Garden's system.
Confirming Receipt of the Data
In the maintenance interface in SAP ERP, World Wide Garden's purchaser uses the enterprise service Confirm Trade Item Catalogue Transmission to notify the retailer he has received the information.

Q: jQuery change size of iframe I have a function that change the size of the iframe every time a new content is loading.
It works fine, but there is a little problem:
If I open a big content the size change to it correct hight. If I load after that a smaller content, the height stays the same(from the big content), it isn't getting shorter.
I don't know why, how can I fix it?

High Desert Pure craft CO2NCENTRATE should be enjoyed with a good delivery system that doesn't leak, clog or alter the flavor of the product. The High Desert Pure Pen™ ensures you'll hit your Happy Place every time with a clean burn and reliable coils. Each pen is prefilled with 0.5 ml of strain-specific craft CO2NCENTRATE.
Our craft cannabis oil out-performs others without the use of chemical flow agents. Even when the temperature drops.
Our coils are carefully matched with our batteries to provide a consistently large puff without muting or altering the flavor of the oil.
Five clicks turns it on. Three clicks changes the voltage. That simple? Yep.
Our batteries are engineered to provide the ideal temperature and astonishing flavor.
We care about what we do. Our mission is to provide the purest experience possible. Find the Happy Drop, and find your happy place.
Questions? We've got your back.
What should I do with the rubber cap?
For starters, take it off. After that, my friend, it's up to you. Keep it on the top of the atomizer to keep away treacherous pocket lint. Use it in your trendy homemade jewelry. Fashion it into a stylish hat for your hedgehog. The world is your oyster.
How do I attach the Atomizer to the battery?
Screw the battery onto the bottom of the Atomizer–that's the threaded, screw-lined side.
How do I smoke from the Atomizer?
First, turn the Atomizer on by pressing the button five times. Then press the battery button while inhaling from the mouthpiece for a few seconds.
Can I use another battery?
Using an HDP battery is highly recommended! Ours provide the optimal temperature for our craft oil. Though other 510 threaded batteries might work, they won't provide the ideal heat. Some non-HDP batteries may burn out the Atomizer's coil. Air actuated batteries will not work.
Should I turn off my battery when I'm done?
Good idea, friend-o! We knew you were smart. Turning off the battery when it's not in use will help conserve charge, protect against overheating, and prevent the Atomizer from clogging.
How do I turn the Atomizer off?
Press the button five times to turn it on or off.
How do I adjust the voltage?
Check out this diagram for the low-down. Three button clicks changes the voltage. We recommend pulling a Gatsby and following the green light–green means low heat, and it has the best flavor. Blue is medium heat, and red is high heat.
We're just tickled you asked. All it takes is the USB charger included with your HDP battery. Just screw the USB charger into your battery, then plug it into a USB port (like a computer or phone charger). Once the light on the USB charger turns green, your Atomizer is ready!
What if the oil gets too hot or cold?
Our oil is happiest outside of extreme temperatures, but we can usually handle the cold! If it gets too hot, it might cause a slight leak or clog. Don't store your Atomizer in a hot car, near heated surfaces, or in the direct sun for long periods of time. Pockets are a cozy and safe space for HDP Atomizers; they keep the oil at the perfect temperature.
Why are my hits weak?
There are a few potential culprits!
Is your battery low? If so, recharge it.
Is the battery voltage too low for your liking? Adjust it.
Has your battery been skipping leg day? Encourage its admirable journey to get swole.
My Atomizer's just not working.
Make sure the battery has a good connection. Try to unscrew it slightly, then screw it back in tightly.
If the battery is flashing white, give it a charge.
Your atomizer might be clogged. Hold down the power button for a few seconds (just a few!) to warm the clog.
If you have a defective Atomizer (non-user failure), give us a shout at info@highdesertpure.com or return it where purchased for a replacement or refund.

EFF Calls on European Commission to Protect Internet Users' Rights by Requiring Court Order Before ISP Takedowns
News Update by Gwen Hinze
To provide greater protection for Internet users' freedom of expression and privacy rights, EFF recommended that the European Commission (EC) should preserve limitations on liability for Internet intermediaries and clarify that Internet intermediaries should not be considered to have "actual knowledge" requiring them to takedown content unless they have received a court order or notification in comments filed recently as part of the EC's long-awaited public consultation on the workability of the 2000 EU eCommerce Directive.
The eCommerce Directive, which regulates a broad swath of Internet activity in the EU, includes "safe harbour" framework principles that limit legal liability for the content of data transmitted or stored by Internet intermediaries who act as mere conduits, caches, or hosts. In our filing, EFF asked the Commission to confirm the application of the safe harbour principles to search engines, user-generated content platforms, auction websites, content aggregators, cloud computing, and other Web 2.0 intermediaries, to provide greater certainty for both intermediaries and Internet users.
We also asked the Commission to uphold an important principle enshrined in the eCommerce Directive -- the prohibition against imposing a general obligation on Internet intermediaries to monitor their networks and platforms. Article 15 of the eCommerce Directive provides that Internet intermediaries do not have to look for evidence of potentially infringing content on their networks to get the benefit of the limitation on liability. This principle is necessary to protect citizens' fundamental right to privacy, which underpins the rights of freedom of expression and association. In recognition of the central importance of this principle for protecting citizens' rights, the Internet intermediary legal frameworks adopted in several countries since around 2000 have included a similar provision. (In the U.S. it's in section 512(m) of the Copyright Act).
IP rightsholders have tried to undermine this bedrock principle in recent years through various efforts aimed at imposing obligations on Internet intermediaries to filter content for potential copyright-infringing material. Europe is at the forefront of this battle. (As we noted in our submission, the question of whether a court order requiring an ISP to employ copyright filtering technology violates the "no general obligation to monitor" requirement is currently pending before the European Court of Justice in the SABAM v. Scarlet (Tiscali) case). To address this, EFF asked the Commission to clarify limits on when injunctions can be used by national courts to force ISPs to filter or monitor Internet communications. EFF's comments also explained why Internet filtering is over-broad and ineffective from the technical perspective.
Finally, we submitted evidence to the Commission about how the US DMCA's notice and takedown regime has helped promote freedom of expression by providing legal certainty for intermediaries, but has also led to many improper removals of user generated content in the U.S. – despite the important and valuable procedural protections provided by the DMCA such as the counternotice and put-back regime and the ability to bring a lawsuit to seek redress for wrongful takedowns. To provide Internet users with a greater level of protection for freedom of expression, we recommended that the Commission clarify that an Internet intermediary that hosts content should only be required to take down content upon receipt of a court order directing it to do so.
These clarifications to the application of the EU eCommerce Directive are critical because the legal and policy frameworks that regulate Internet intermediaries have a direct bearing on citizens' fundamental rights. As we and other public interest organizations noted in our respective submissions (see submissions from Article 19, EDRi and BEUC), uncertainty about the scope of the safe harbor provisions in the EU puts pressure on Internet intermediaries to monitor the content of communications on their platforms, which, in turn, is likely to cause harm to privacy and free expression. Legal uncertainty has also impeded technological innovation -- contrary to the EC's stated goal in adopting the eCommerce Directive. Stay tuned for our thoughts on the EC's response to this important public consultation.

Human tower builders in Catalonia kick off with pro-independence protest
By Albert Gea, Pilar Suarez
TARRAGONA, Spain (Reuters) - Protesters calling for Catalan independence kicked off Spain's bi-annual human towers building competition on Sunday which is being held for the first time since Catalonia's failed 2017 independence referendum.
Though the competition is not an official pro-independence event, human towers building is a deep-rooted tradition of the Catalan culture where participants are considered either supporters of or in favor of secession from Spain.
The event, which drew 6,000 spectators in the northeastern city of Tarragona, comes almost a week after tensions flared up again with thousands marching in Barcelona to mark the anniversary of the Oct. 1 2017 referendum.
Opinion polls in Catalonia show a relatively even split between those who favor remaining in Spain and those wanting to secede.
People carried a huge Esteleda, the Catalan separatist flag, inside the Tarraco Arena Plaça in Tarragona when the finals for the competition started with the official national anthem of Catalonia 'Els Segadors' (The Reapers).
Slideshow ( 22 images )
Some shouted pro-Catalan independence slogans while others displayed banners demanding the release of imprisoned pro-secessionist politicians and the return of those in exile.
After the five minute protest, the spectators turned their attention to the event which brought 42 teams of 'castellers' competing to build the most complex human tower.
Catalan leader Quim Torra, who last month relaunched a campaign for his region to split from Spain, attended the finals of Human Tower Competition which was declared a Cultural and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2010.
The competition is a three-day event with the first part held in the Catalan city of Torredembarra on Sept. 30, followed by this weekend's festivities in Tarragona.
The winners are awarded 16,000 euros ($18,400) in prize money, according to the Tarragona City Hall, the organizer of the event.

Powerful Narcotic Painkiller Up For FDA Approval
By Rob Stein
The Food and Drug Administration is trying to decide whether to approve a powerful new prescription painkiller that's designed to relieve severe pain quickly, and with fewer side effects than other opioids.
While some pain experts say the medicine could provide a valuable alternative for some patients in intense pain, the drug (called Moxduo) is also prompting concern that it could exacerbate the epidemic of abuse of prescription painkillers and overdoses.
An FDA advisory committee is holding a daylong hearing Tuesday to decide whether to recommend that the agency approve the drug.
Moxduo for the first time combines morphine and oxycodone in one capsule. It's designed to provide quick relief to patients suffering severe pain from accidents or surgeries, such as knee replacements, back surgeries or cancer operations, says Ed Rudnic, COO of QRxPharma, the company that makes Moxduo.
The drug allows patients to take lower doses of the two narcotics than they'd need if they took either of the medicines alone, Rudnic says.
"We believe that we've achieved some benefit in reducing the risk of some of the respiratory complications of these strong opioids," he says.
Suppressed breathing and other respiratory complications are the most serious risks of these drugs — the main reason people die from taking too much.
Some pain experts think the idea behind Moxduo is a good one. A lot of patients can't take enough morphine or oxycodone to ease their discomfort because of the risk to breathing and other side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness and severe itchiness.
Patients who could theoretically benefit from such a pill are "normal people like you and me," says Dr. Joseph Audette of Harvard Medical School. "And then suddenly we get in a terrible accident or have surgery and ... we need something. And the typical agents are used, and suddenly all these terrible side effects come up."
But Audette is not convinced the company has yet proved that Moxduo has fewer side effects.
"They haven't really done the hard work of absolutely showing ... in humans with real pain problems that synergy is making a big difference," Audette says, "compared to just using the agents that we [already] have available."
And some experts worry that Moxduo will come with its own problems.
"I have serious concerns about this product," says Andrew Kolodny, an addiction specialist at Phoenix House. He also leads the Physicians for Responsible Opioid Prescribing, which is fighting for tighter control of prescription painkillers.
Millions of people are addicted to these legal narcotics already, Kolodny says, with thousands dying from overdoses each year. Moxduo, he worries, would only make that worse.
"This is pure morphine and pure oxycodone," he says. "This is a product that is very easy to misuse, very easy to crush and snort or crush and inject. So it's significantly more dangerous than the products that it would be competing with," Kolodny. He cites Vicodin and Percocet as competing drugs that contain multiple other ingredients (in addition to a narcotic) that make them more difficult to abuse in those ways.
Patients in severe pain already have plenty of options, he says, and a marketing push to prescribe Moxduo could spell trouble.
"If they get this product put on the market and are able to have a sales force going in and out of doctors' offices encouraging prescribing with the marketing claim that this is somehow a safer product ... I believe that's likely to exacerbate an already severe public health crisis," Kolodny tells Shots.
For his part, Rudnic argues that the manufacturer already has good evidence that Moxduo is a safer painkiller with fewer side effects. And he disputes the claims that Moxduo is easier to abuse.
"I understand abuse and I understand the anguish that some of these people have that have lost a loved one to a drug overdose," says Rudnic. "I lost a brother to a drug overdose in 2002 and it was really tough."
Rudnic promises his company will set up a system to quickly spot any signs that Moxduo is being misused. QRxPharma is also developing a version of the drug, Rudnic says, that would make it harder to abuse.

The inspiration for M. Night Shyamalan's major motion picture 'Old'
Early morning on a perfect summer's day, people begin to descend on an idyllic, secluded beach. Among their number, a family, a young couple, a refugee and some American tourists. Its fine white sand is fringed with rock pools filled with crystal clear water. The beach is sheltered from prying eyes by green-fringed cliffs that soar around the cove. But this utopia keeps a dark secret.
A woman's body is found floating in the waters, which brings these thirteen strangers together to try and unravel the riddle of the sands and escape the beach alive in this tense, fantastical mystery.
