Who is Erika Shankley?
Friends of Bass Strait Islands
Erika Shankley is a Wildcare volunteer whose unbounded enthusiasm contributes to Wildcare efforts across the Board (literally – Erika is a current Wildcare Board member). In this changing world, Erika hopes to be able to find emerging opportunities to further enhance the natural values of Tasmania's wild areas. We hope you will join her.

Erika is an active member of the Friends of Tasman Island and the Friends of Melaleuca Wildcare branches and maintains an interest in the Friends of Maatsuyker Island, Friends of Deal Island and Friends of Bass Strait Islands.
Erika's volunteering expeditions predate the inception of Wildcare (which she joined in 2002). Following a working life in an office, what better than to venture into some of Tasmania's more remote areas? Trips to Port Davey in the '60s (by foot or boat) included the pleasure of a visit to the home of Deny and Margaret King and their daughters Mary and Janet at Melaleuca.
"Before heading off for a bushwalk (for which Deny usually provided boat transport) we would help collect firewood, pick cherries from their garden (for them to make jam) and even have a shared meal at their unique home on the banks of Moth Creek."
Back in Hobart in 2000, Erika joined a group of like-minded people in the formation of the Melaleuca Port Davey Advisory Committee, a body which worked in partnership with the Parks and Wildlife Service to formulate policy for this remote and fragile region.
In 2002, she spent three months on Maatsuyker Island, as part of the volunteer caretaker programme run by the Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife Service.
"This was a life-changing experience, living on the most southerly lightstation in Australia, at one with nature on a daily basis. Apart from weather observations for the Bureau of Meteorology in Hobart, we assisted with reserve management, maintained the lightstation buildings and the cultural and natural heritage of the island. While mowing the 3.5 km track across the island we had plenty of time to observe the unique fauna and flora of this remarkable island!"
Erika has been a member of the Friends of Maatsuyker Island since its inception in 2003.
Her stint at Maatsuyker led to two years on Swan Island (2002-2004) – a private island off the north east tip of Tasmania, in the tempestuous waters of Banks Strait. Here work involved managing the island for the private owner, Vladi Private Islands, and catering for guests as well as building maintenance, clearing tracks, mowing, etc etc. Mail and groceries came once a fortnight by air from nearby Flinders Island. Two years in this idyllic spot with its beaches and lichen covered rocks was a dream come true, which unfortunately came to an end when the island was sold.
Three Hummock Island, once home to the Alliston family off the north- west coast of Tasmania, was her next venture as a volunteer caretaker in 2005. The island is a State Reserve with a small area of leasehold around the settlement. Here too, there were guests to cater for, tracks to clear, vegetables to grow, firewood to cut and a multitude of other jobs needed to keep the settlement at Chimney Corner in good order. There was also a lighthouse, but it had been burnt down in the 1960s and its replacement, a small 'tupperware' fibreglass light, was a long walk from the homestead.
In the following year, 2005, together with her son Chris Creese, Erika spent a day on Tasman Island with the Rotary Club of the Tasman Peninsular and reflects: "What an awe-inspiring place! It was here that I met Carol Jackson, who had lived on the island as a child. We were dismayed at the state of the former lightkeepers' quarters and environmental weed infestations. I became an inaugural member of the Friends of Tasman Island when it was formed soon afterwards. I have since co-ordinated and participated in a number of working bees on the island and continue with support activities back in Hobart."
In 2008, Erika tapped into the 'grapevine' of volunteering opportunities and and headed to Fraser Island, Queensland to volunteer at the Sandy Cape lightstation. "Here we spent 4 months working in partnership with the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service, maintaining the lightstation buildings and surrounds. My lasting memory is the many hours spent trying to rid the surrounding bushland of the invasive weed Asparagus fern (Asparagus africanus) a declared noxious weed."
Following a long association with Melaleuca as a bushwalker and sailor, Erika joined the Friends of Melaleuca at its inception in 2009 and has participated in a number of working bees. Work is evenly split between the historic King/Fenton residence, the Willson residence, historic mine structures and the intervening parts of the South West National Park. She also volunteered in the setting up of the Deny King Museum, sited in the old Orange-bellied Parrot bird hide at Melaleuca.
BRINGING IT ALL TOGETHER
"Wildcare as an organisation is the glue that binds the many groups, under its umbrella, together."
The cooperative nature of the work of the three island branches (Friends of Maatsuyker Island, Friends of Tasman Island and Friends of Deal Island) lead Erika to become associated with Friends of Deal Island and work with them on projects such as the Australian Wooden Boat Festival where they raise funds for their work.
Motivated by the sense of belonging that comes from sharing with other like-minded people, Erika joined the Wildcare Board in 2016 "hoping to work with other Board members towards the enhancement of the natural values of Tasmania's amazing number of wild areas."
To Erika, "volunteering has become a way of life – a way of giving back to the environment that which modern civilisation has taken away."
She is motivated by her love of the environment, particularly the more remote areas, and the need in this day & age to continue to look after these places for future generations.
"I really look forward to heading off into the bush or to an out-of-the-way place, volunteering with like minded people, all hoping to make a difference."
In this changing world, Erika hopes to be able to find emerging opportunities to further enhance the natural values of Tasmania's wild areas.
We hope you will join her.

Gee, you would think I'd get tired of making these marshmallow critters. As I had mentioned in my Marshmallow Caterpillars post, this was inspired after spending time in the garden. So here we go again with my Marshmallow Ladybugs.
Like the other marshmallow critters, these are easy and a blast to make. The ingredients are pretty much the same and again, all you need is a bit of time. The best part is you will love the outcome.
Step One – For the wings, roll out the black fondant. Cut a round of the rolled black fondant with the 1-inch cutter. Cut the circle almost in half leaving it connected at one end. Set aside to let the wings dry until stiff.
Step Two – On Silpat or parchment paper, use a rolling pin with spacer bands to roll out the red fondant to about ¼ inch thickness.
Step Three – For the body of the Ladybugs, place a marshmallow on the piece of the rolled out red fondant and cover. Cut off any exceed and tuck the ends under the base of the marshmallow.
Step Four – Roll a small ball of black fondant to create the Ladybugs head. Insert half of a pretzel stick into the small ball. Using a toothpick, create a hole and then gently connect the head to the body of the Ladybugs.
Step Five – Hold the body in your hand and poke holes in various places equal distance all over the body. Then take the black candy pearls and gently push one into each hole to create spots.
Step Six – For the legs, gently insert 6 1 inch licorice string pieces, 3 on each side of the Ladybug's body. Now set the body on its legs on the sheet pan.
Step One–We need to add the eyes. Place two small dabs of black icing on the head and then top the icing with the black pearls.
Step Two – Now the final step. To place the dried wings, place a few dabs of icing on top of the Ladybug's body and just behind the head and gently press the wings in place.
Repeat until you run out of fondant or other supplies. Now you have a nice collection of these cute edible Marshmallow Ladybugs.
Notes: I find that using a pasta maker to roll out the fondant gives me a consistent thickness in a hurry. If you don't have one of these, you can use a ruler or rolling pin bands. You can decorate your Ladybug's body any way you want to make some mystery bugs, so have a little fun with it. I use pretzel sticks as a connector so that the whole thing is edible and for the safety of those who dare to eat them. A sheet pan lined with parchment is my tool of choice because it makes for a much easier assembly and cleanup.
So what do you think of my Marshmallow Ladybugs? Why not give them a whirl? As it is with all my other marshmallow critters, these little guys can be great fun creating them making with kids, any size kid.
I do love making a bunch of packages with all the ingredients, a bit of ribbon, along with a set of instructions to pass out for fun. Enjoy.


Chapter 35: Meting punishment, the fox exploits the tiger's might Original and most updated translations are from volare.
Having her shortcomings exposed before the crowd left Mu Liuyue at a loss.
A fierce 'pah!' stuffed back the rest of Mu Liuyue's words.
"Ah...father! You hit me!" A cut appeared on her arm where a whip had fell, the exposed flesh revealing a much deep wound than Han Yunxi's.
So speaking, he lashed out with the whip again, adding another bloody welt to Mu Liuyue's skin. The terrified girl covered her head with her hands as she wept bitter tears.
This coarse old fellow was barbarous and simple, but had an open mind. He admitted his mistakes instead of offering a slew of excuses like the North Court Official and Mu Liuyue. But that didn't clear his guilt when he was the main reason for all this mess! Han Yunxi wasn't so compassionate.
This 'difference between right and wrong' was a clear jab towards Princess Changping and Mu Liuyue. The angry princess clenched her fists and wanted to argue, but couldn't without Han Yunxi mentioning any names.
At these words, Long Feiye's eyes grew dark.
This woman was intelligent enough. General Mu was a different case than the North Court Official. He was the commander of the imperial army! Not only that, he'd neither reported Han Yunxi to the courts or locked her up. For her to rebuke him to this point was already quite good. How could they really penalize him? In this way, Han Yunxi had saved a lot of face for the general.
The Mu Family would need to owe her a favor for this.
"Yes! This old official shall obey." Appreciation flashed past General Mu's eyes as he readily agreed.
After that, Han Yunxi turned her gaze to Princess Changping. From the start, all the torments and persecution she'd suffered came from the hands of this crafty princess. If she didn't teach her a lesson, she wouldn't be able to appease the indignation in her heart. But disciplining a princess wasn't something an imperial aunt like her could do. She glanced at Long Feiye and mused, This Giant Ice Cube, I wonder if he'll say some words on my behalf.
"The one who suffered was your imperial aunt, not me," Long Feiye said coldly.
Such words were beyond Han Yunxi's expectations. This fellow had come, that was true, but rejected any involvement in the matters concerned. Who could tell what he was thinking with such equivocal actions? Giant Ice Cube had rescued her to save face for the Duke of Qin's household and for the sake of his antidote. Of this, Han Yunxi was very clear.
Princess Changping couldn't figure him out either, but she didn't believe that Imperial Uncle Qin came for Han Yunxi's sake. It must be to preserve the dignity of the Duke of Qin's household. Before him, she didn't dare to act out. Even if she nursed a thousand grievances, in the end she still bowed her head.
Her apology sounded like a mosquito talking. She was too dissatisfied with the course of events, so much that her hands had turned to fists inside her sleeves and left nail marks against her skin. Today she had been thoroughly disgraced. Glancing towards Mu Qingwu, she only saw Qingwu gege giving her a disgusted look. Princess Changping was about to go mad from rage. Deep down in her heart, she bore a grudge. Han Yunxi, everything was because of you, you abominable woman. You were lucky this time, but that won't be the case next time!
Mu Qingwu didn't dare have Han Yunxi support him, but hastily avoided her. In actuality, he really wished he had more time to talk with this woman before they opened the door. When he saw her walk alone into the Duke of Qin's gates that day, he knew that she was someone different! However, his injury was too severe. As soon as he dodged, his vision turned black as he staggered and fell towards Han Yunxi.
Han Yunxi ignored her to wave General Mu over for support so he could help Mu Qingwu back onto his bed. She then checked his pulse before speaking.
General Mu felt his heart raging at her words. He wished he could lash Princess Changping just like he did with his daughter, but she was a princess and beyond his authority. In the end, all he could do was endure, but he'd already come to a decision. The headstrong Princess Changping was crafty and unruly. With her here, there'd be no good days in the house. No matter what, he'd definitely forbid her from marrying into his family! He took a deep breath to calm himself down before speaking coldly.
"Your highness, you are the golden branch and jade leaf. One word from you is enough to claim our Qingwu's life. He couldn't bear the weight of your care." General Mu was the type to pour out everything on his mind. Even if he couldn't hit the princess, he could at least say a few words.
"The princess has misunderstood, this old official doesn't dare. I just feel that men and women should not touch hands when giving or receiving things. If the princess stays, she'll encourage people to gossip, so I ask again that you leave," General Mu said coldly.
On one side, Han Yunxi was about to laugh out loud. Even she could tell that Princess Changping adored Mu Qingwu. With her status, the wedding might have be a 90 percent certainty, but after this mess it'd be strange if General Mu could even stand her. If the general didn't agree, even the emperor and empress dowager would be hard-pressed to force him. It looked like Changping's aspirations to marry into the Mu family would simply remain delusions.
Still, she was suffering from the results of her own actions, so Han Yunxi wouldn't pity her.
After that bout of shouting, Princess Changping stomped her foot and turned to leave in a flash of tears. Han Yunxi didn't care in the slightest, but gave a cheerful grin at her retreating form.
Princess Changping, I'd like to see how long you'll stay stubborn. I think the poison from the prisons that day should show itself very soon. That ringworm is a modern-day toxin, so none of these ancient doctors will be able to cure you!
We'll see who's crying then!
Han Yunxi didn't say much, but left a few packets of medicine and detailed instructions for General Mu to change the bandages to avoid complications. The general made sure to note down every single detail. At the door, Long Feiye didn't bat an eyelid as he watched everything, but finally spoke after all was done. As before, there was no trace of warmth in his tone.
Thanks to all the excitement from before, she'd left this respectable deity hanging by the door.
"Un, I'll go back right away," she eagerly ran out with a smile, sensing that this fellow seemed somehow unhappy. True enough, she'd ended up in prison within a few days of their marriage so as a husband he probably had nothing to be happy about. General Mu and his men hurried out to send them off, but Long Feiye just turned and left without a word.
That was his personality: a frozen mountain wrapped in a riddle, feared by all even as he stirred their curiosity.
Han Yunxi obediently followed behind him as she recalled her warning to Princess Changping a few days before. Thinking of it now, it was rather funny that things had happened exactly as she said. This guy Long Feiye had really showed up to take her home. His legs were long and he kept a quick pace, forcing Han Yunxi to run to catch up. When they finally left the gates of the residence, she remembered something.
He was so indifferent that he didn't even bother to ask her for details, but told the driver to leave as soon as he was finished. Han Yunxi was a little shocked. So cold! She shivered slightly before turning back to discuss Gu Beiyue's life and death waiver with General Mu, then ask him to hurry to the prisons and release the doctor.

Substandard road repairs made after utilitiy companies dig up roads to carry out projects have cost the taxpayer £435 million in the last 24 months, the Local Government Association (LGA) reports.
LGA research revealed that 20% of road works carried out by contractors that resurface trenches were "not up to standard", which resulted in councils having to pay for the work to be redone. The expense to councils due to this problem rose by 3% in 2012.
The LGA said £435 million could repair about eight million potholes.
A new taskforce is aiming to reduce the expense and disruptiveness that roadworks cause. It will bring together utilities, representatives from businesses and councils.
One of the taskforce's objectives will be to find methods for improving communication between businesses and contractors and to aid traders whose business is impacted by roadworks seek compensation, the LGA says.
The chairman of the LGA's economy and transport board, Peter Box, said it was his hope the new effort would keep the disruptions and frustrations of drivers and businesses at a minimum.
"Most roadworks are essential and in many cases carried out efficiently and to a good standard. However, all too often the rush to get on to the next job leaves in its wake patches of shoddy resurfacing," Mr Box said.
"Not only is the taxpayer left to foot the bill to do the resurfacing properly, it means needless frustration for motorists and thousands of pounds in lost trade for small businesses."
The LGA's findings are based on abreakdown of statistics released by the Asphalt Industry Alliance's Annual Local Authority Road Maintenance polls, which are conducted by highways departments.

If I have learned anything over these past three years after moving away from home, it has been the importance of community. The importance of surrounding yourself with people who love you, challenge you, and really know and appreciate you.
I sometimes feel like my heart will just burst open with the amount of gratitude I have for the incredible people in my life, especially these three right here. 'Roommates' dosn't feel like a big enough word to represent the amount of respect, love, and joy I feel when I am around these women.
They put up with my sassy comments, my crazy love for One Direction, dance parties, and popcorn, and most of all they encourage and challenge me in my walk with Jesus.
Thank you for continually being a light in my life and for being some of the greatest people I know. You all bring me SO much joy.

Lyft recently released its list of Chicago's most visited destinations in 2018, from restaurants to late night neighborhoods, as part of its fourth annual "Lyftie Awards."
"The Lyfties are a way for us to recognize the places that truly make Chicago unique," said David Katcher, Lyft's Midwest general manager, in a press release.
The winners include Sidetrack as the city's most visited bar, Douglas Park, the home of recent Riot Fests, as most popular concert venue, and Boystown as most visited late night neighborhood. XSport was named Chicago's most visited fitness studio or gym. Navy Pier took home the gold in the "Only in Chicago" category, and Beatrix and The Vig won most visited restaurants for brunch and late night, respectively.

A big résumé red flag: Fox News experience
Jeremy Barr, The Washington Post

When Eboni Williams was first exploring leaving her job at Fox News in 2018, she kept hearing the same thing in her conversations with news executives at rival networks.
"They would meet with me and say, 'You've got to get out,' " she recalled. " 'We cannot acquire a Fox News talent. We can't take that on, publicity-wise.' "
Williams, who now hosts a weekly news show for the much smaller Revolt TV, understands what they meant: After Fox, she needed to go somewhere else first, before they would even consider hiring her.
"Nobody wants to be the first to pick up a Fox News talent," she said. "Once you're at Fox three or more years, you are indoctrinated with that Fox News branding, and it becomes almost impossible to shake."
Williams is among the Fox News veterans, both journalists and pundits, who say they've faced skepticism in the job market since leaving the network. While Fox has always leaned right, particularly its nighttime punditry hours, its image as a fortress of conservatism has been hardened during the Trump presidency, as fire-breathing hosts such as Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham have gone to extreme rhetorical lengths to defend the president and attack his critics. Fairly or not, that reputation has rubbed off even on many of Fox's most ardently nonpartisan journalists.
"Every time one of the prime-time hosts says something inflammatory, it does end up coloring the view of the entire place and all the people who work there," said former news host Alisyn Camerota, one of a dozen on-air Fox veterans interviewed for this story. "You are often painted with a broad brush, and it's a negative one, for having worked at Fox."
In the six years since she left Fox for CNN, Camerota says she's helped more than a dozen Fox staffers who have come to her for advice on how to find a job somewhere else - people "who were pretty desperate to get out and wanted to know how to do it."
Conor Powell, a former Fox News foreign correspondent who now freelances for CNN and hosts a podcast about political history, says he's learned how to address the concerns of potential employers during network job interviews.
"Most people dance around it, but they are usually trying to determine if I was a crazy Fox person," he said. "If I explain my career and why I left, I haven't had any issues." Says another former Fox News reporter currently who is on the job market, it has "not exactly been a walk in the park ... with this place on (your) résumé."
Some have pivoted to local news, such as KTLA-TV of Los Angeles news anchor Courtney Friel, who says her time at the network, from 2007 to 2013, remains a major conversation starter. "People always have tons of questions about my time at Fox News," she said, some of them critical: "Still, to this day, I get people who tweet at me like, 'Oh, your Fox News is showing,' " she said.
To be sure, many journalists and commentators have been able to successfully transition away from Fox and turbo-charge their careers elsewhere, including Camerota, who co-anchors CNN's morning news show. The television news industry is also an extremely competitive one for everyone, with on-air jobs rarely turning over and internal candidates already waiting in the wings. Some Fox talent who chime with the company's politics find themselves nonetheless trapped by the network's success - with Fox having established dominance as the major conservative media player, there are few other outlets that could offer comparable jobs.
But even some of the success stories have included hurdles. Catherine Herridge, who left Fox after 23 years to become a senior investigative correspondent for CBS News, has faced skepticism from some of her colleagues who see her reporting as having a conservative bent. In her case, it doesn't help that the president keeps giving her shout-outs at events. In Megan Kelly's brief, doomed tenure at NBC News, where she tried to recreate herself as a cheery late-morning host, she continued to face criticism for things she said during her time as a combative evening host, such as her 2013 assertion that Santa Claus is White.
In "Hoax," his new book about Fox News in the Trump era, CNN chief media correspondent Brian Stelter wrote that some network personalities remain at the network because of a concern that "they aren't really marketable to other networks." He added: "They're usually right."
"It's almost impossible to leave and go somewhere else," said former Fox News host Juliet Huddy, who has been unable to land a TV job since leaving the network in 2016 and settling a sexual harassment claim against Bill O'Reilly. "You really have to be very, very lucky, or have a great agent, or really have made your position there clear that you are an independent voice and you're a voice that is not part of the propaganda."
That's exactly why many Fox News veterans think that former news anchor Shepard Smith was able to land a new show on CNBC after abruptly resigning from Fox in October 2019. Throughout his time at Fox, and particularly during the Trump years, Smith used his daily hour to push back on the president's falsehoods - and, occasionally, those of his opinion-side colleagues.

"Even if you were at Fox, you still have some credibility if you were in the news division and you were fair," said Adam Housley, who left his role as a senior correspondent in summer 2018 after 18 years at the network.
For those leaving Fox News but looking to stay in conservative-leaning media, Newsmax has emerged as a destination - though it cannot match the high salaries paid by the massively profitable network. (Rob Schmitt, who anchored the extremely early "Fox & Friends First" show on the network, recently joined Newsmax to launch a new show at 10 p.m.)
There's also One America News Network, though it's seen by Fox News veterans as a significant step down from the No. 1 channel in cable news.
Jonathan Klein, who was the president of CNN's U.S. network between 2004 and 2010, said it can be hard for Fox News personalities to make the jump to a new network for reasons of both style and substance.
"Not everyone resonates as well," he said. "In evaluating talent coming out of Fox News, you always have to ask yourself, 'How is this going to feel in a more neutral setting and in a less fevered environment?' "
Klein said that during his time running CNN he talked to a bunch of anchors and reporters who wanted to leave Fox News and "go mainstream" - it's the lower-profile journalists, he said, who have the best chance of establishing themselves elsewhere.
"Most of them are either too afraid to try, or they begin to drink the Kool-Aid," he said. "Or they understand that their brand has permanently identified with their Fox tone of voice."
Housley, who said he departed Fox "on good terms," left behind the TV news business entirely to work at his family's winery in California's Napa Valley.
"The industry's changed," he said, recalling his years as a globe-trotting reporter over the phone to The Washington Post as he simultaneously greeted customers and kept tabs on his young son nearby. "I was lucky to be there during the heyday."

Item #3: Jumping Dog
You've probably seen one of these before: a plush, mechanical dog that walks a few steps, slowly sits down and then – WOOSH – does a backflip, lands on it's feet and starts again (occasionally, it lands on its side or head, and then just flails its legs about until you rescue it). In earlier incarnations, it was probably a wind-up toy, but these days they are battery operated and so can go for a while.
I've had mine now for more than 10 years – another sister gift. It was inspired by a play that we attended together. We have had season tickets for theatre at various venues in Vancouver for 15 years and counting, and sharing theatre with my sister is one of the great joys in life. We've seen some wonderful, mind-blowing, moving and funny theatre that we talk about for hours, and also some horrendous, awful theatre that we talk about just as much.
It was in 2003 that we attended "It's Snowing on Saltspring" at the Arts Club Granville Island. The play is a local favourite, and we were seeing it for the first time; other than the Christmas theme, we didn't know much about it. I remember that we enjoyed it as a light holiday comedy (I'll take that over a farce with a scheming maid any time).
In the last scene of the play, the stage is littered with small toys after some kind of madcap finale. As we were leaving the theatre, we walked by the stage (which, at that venue, is quite low and accessible to the audience). Near the edge was a mechanical toy dog, which I'd been admiring throughout the show. She said something like, "I dare you to take that." I did a mock reach for it, feigned tucking it in my purse, and we laughed and headed home.
A few weeks later it was Christmas, and this mechanical dog was one of my gifts from her. Opening the box, I had a moment's horrified thought: "Did she take it?" Then I realized it was brand new, and her idea of a memorable surprise. I was delighted and played with it throughout the morning. Those are the best kinds of gifts – big or small, but filled with meaning and fun.
Like so many of my objects, the dog has moved house with me and occupies a spot on my bookshelf where I see it frequently and smile. It doesn't work as well any more, so I don't play with it much for fear of a leg falling off or the gears grinding to a sad halt. But I'll always keep it for the memory of that evening, that joke and that lovely and thoughtful gift from my wonderful sister.

Q: Why websocket connection closes after few seconds Well i've been trying to figure out this issue for a while now, but with no results. So we have an aws ec2 instance behind the aws load balancer and an aws free ssl assigned to the load balancer. In our ec2 instance we have an apache web server listening or port 1338 and a websocket server (using Ratchet) listening on port 8080. Between we are using HAProxy with this configuration
global
    log     127.0.0.1   local0
    maxconn 10000
    user    haproxy
    group   haproxy
    daemon

defaults
        mode                    http
        log                     global
        option                  httplog
        retries                 3
        backlog                 10000
        timeout client          30s
        timeout connect         30s
        timeout server          30s
        timeout tunnel          3600s
        timeout http-keep-alive 1s
        timeout http-request    15s

frontend public
        bind            *:80
        acl             is_websocket hdr(Upgrade) -i WebSocket
        use_backend     ws if is_websocket #is_websocket_server
        default_backend www

backend ws
    option forwardfor # This sets X-Forwarded-For
        timeout queue 5000
        timeout server 5000
        timeout connect 5000
        server  ws1     127.0.0.1:8080

backend www
    timeout server  30s
        server  www1    127.0.0.1:1338

So everything seems to be working, except for the web socket server. When I try to connect, the connection is successful, but after about 50-60 seconds, the connection is closed as if the user was left the page. And this occurs only when using https. The issue is, that in our httpd.conf we have a mod_rewrite which redirects all http connections to https.
Another issue is, that we have websocket php client script, which we use to connect to the websocket server so we could send notifications from php scripts, but that client can't connect to the server when I'm using the host 127.0.0.1 and the port 8080. When testing locally without ssl and haproxy, everything is working great. I just can't figure out where the problem is. Is it my HAProxy configuration or I need to change something in the aws loadbalancer?
Edit
So these are the logs from the haproxy. I just noticed another thing. I keep sending messages to the socket server, the client doesn't get disconnected, so if keep sending dummy messages to the server after every 30 seconds, everything seems to working correctly, but I still can't understand why this issue is only when using HTTPS

A: You need to basically configure the timeout for tunnel, since websockets create a tunnel so on your configuration you just need to add:
timeout tunnel 2m
timeout client-fin 1s

Documentation on haproxy: https://cbonte.github.io/haproxy-dconv/1.7/configuration.html#4-timeout%20tunnel
The timeout client-fin although not mandatory, seems to be important as described on their documentation:

Since this timeout is usually used in conjunction with long-lived connections,
it usually is a good idea to also set "timeout client-fin" to handle the
situation where a client suddenly disappears from the net and does not
acknowledge a close, or sends a shutdown and does not acknowledge pending
data anymore. This can happen in lossy networks where firewalls are present,
and is detected by the presence of large amounts of sessions in a FIN_WAIT
state.

PS: I know it's an old answer but I just had this problem and this was the first result.

FOOL'S ERRAND
Democrats Want to Fight Trump's Supreme Court Pick. They Just Have No Power to Do It.
The party lacks the votes and mechanisms to stop an Anthony Kennedy replacement from being confirmed. And they know it.
Andrew Desiderio
Sam Stein
Politics Editor
Updated 06.28.18 12:04PM ET / Published 06.27.18 5:29PM ET
Jonathan Ernst/Reuters
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) on Wednesday vowed to hold a vote on Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy's successor this fall, setting up a contentious political battle ahead of the critical midterm elections.
But while Democrats insisted that Kennedy's replacement should not be considered until after voters have their say in November, many members of the party acknowledged the ominous political reality they now confront. Democrats are powerless to stop President Donald Trump from getting his second justice on the nation's highest court.
"They hold all the cards," said Jim Manley, a top aide to former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV). "There's not really anything left to say."
News of Kennedy's retirement sent shockwaves through the Capitol on Wednesday, coming just hours after the Supreme Court finished issuing rulings for this term. And within minutes of the announcement, attention turned to McConnell over what type of timeline he was envisioning for the consideration of Kennedy's replacement.
The majority leader had refused to give President Barack Obama's nominee, Merrick Garland, a hearing—let alone a vote—in the eight months leading up the 2016 election, on the grounds that voters had the right to weigh in on who should be choosing the nominee.
But the notion that McConnell would hit the pause button once more was always a pipe dream, considering his record pace during the Trump presidency of stacking the federal courts with conservatives. And in an emailed statement to The Daily Beast, his spokesman, Don Stewart, made it clear that McConnell believes there was no inconsistency in considering a nominee before the November contests.
"This is not a presidential election year," Stewart said, drawing a distinction between the Garland nomination and the forthcoming one.
The replacement of Kennedy will have a profound impact on the course of U.S. policy for decades to come. Though the associate justice had sided consistently with conservatives during the latest round of cases, his vote was still been considered reliably centrist. And, according to Abner Greene, a constitutional law professor at Fordham University, the jurisprudence of whoever replaces him would potentially impact three massive areas of the law: gay rights, capital punishment, and abortion.
With those high stakes, Republicans under McConnell insisted that they, too, felt no compulsion to wait for voters to weigh in on the composition of the next Senate.
"We should move as rapidly as we responsibly can," Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) told The Daily Beast.
"I would think [Kennedy] would want to be replaced by a Republican president and a Republican Senate," said Sen. Roy Blunt (R-MO), a member of Senate GOP leadership.
With a timeline set, Democrats are left with no procedural mechanisms to keep the seat vacant, with the threshold for confirming a nominee at a simple majority and Republicans holding 51 seats. That lack of a political arsenal was underscored by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's (D-NY) statement on Wednesday, in which he invoked the standard McConnell applied to Garland but outlined no specific ways in which he could, or would, force a vote till after November.
Instead, the party appears poised to mount an aggressive public-relations campaign, talking up the electoral consequences for Republicans should they confirm an ultra-conservative justice.
"People should understand that this nominee will be there for decades to come, for our lifetimes, and a good part of our children's lifetimes," Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) said. "And the consequences for our nation couldn't be higher."
Ron Klain, Vice President Joe Biden's former chief of staff and someone who has shepherded court nominees through the Senate, said he imagined that the Supreme Court confirmation proceedings would be a major motivator for Democratic voters before the elections, in a way that Republican voters have often found judicial politics to be galvanizing.
"I do think this battle substantially raises the odds of a Democratic takeover of the Senate," Klain said. "The party aggrieved by the Supreme Court votes on the Court as an issue. Until now, that has been Republican. Starting now, that will be Democrats."
Though he wasn't particularly bullish on the prospects of influencing Trump's choice to replace Kennedy, Klain stressed that there were some political pressure points for Democrats to target. In particular, he called for lawmakers to frame the debate "squarely and firmly" around the future of abortion rights, to push hard on Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK)—both pro-choice Republicans—and to work with Sens. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) and Bob Corker (R-TN), critics of the president, "on keeping Trump in check."
But even that would, potentially, not be enough. One plugged-in Democratic strategist with extensive connections on Capitol Hill cautioned that it should not be assumed that moderate Democratic senators would vote against Trump's nominee, since supporting him or her could help demonstrate bipartisan credentials before an election. "Those… senators need to show some political courage," the strategist said, naming three traditionally moderate members: Joe Manchin (D-WV), Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND) and Joe Donnelly (D-IN).
Already, the pressure for all Senate Democrats to toe the line is intense. Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) insisted that he would do everything in his power to stop a nominee. "I did not run for the Senate to grease the skids for radicals on the Supreme Court to decimate the rights of millions of Americans," he exclaimed.
And Schumer's deputy, Dick Durbin (D-IL), accused McConnell of applying "tortured logic" in pushing for a vote just "four months away from an election where the American people will decide the majority in the United States Senate."
In the end, the words were sharp. But, as some conceded, they were just words.
"Based on the rules of the Senate there is isn't much Senate Democrats can do even if they hold together, to defeat whoever Trump nominates," said Manley. "But if that happens without a fight I think there maybe hell to pay in November with rank-and-file Democratic voters."

Dallas TX Drug Crimes Lawyer: How to Get the Top One Fast
Need to retain a Dallas TX drug crimes lawyer? As you likely know, the consequences for drug crimes are incredibly severe. A record will impact the rest of your life- from the jobs you can have, to where you can live, and even your relationships. However, your most pressing concerns are likely the risk of incarceration and/or fines. A Dallas TX drug crimes lawyer who is seasoned and competent may sometimes have your charges lowered or dropped, though identifying which one is ideal is not always simple. As you speak with candidates, use the following characteristics as a checklist, to help determine which Dallas TX drug crimes lawyer is ideal for your court case.
[dyna dynami="Template 24″]
Expertise: The judicial system is complicated and laws are always changing. It's difficult for a general-purpose representative to keep up with changes for each area he practices in.

Availability: Top legal professionals book up easily and they oversee many cases at any given time. You should take a look at availability from two standpoints. First, verify that the legal practitioner has time to spend on your case. Secondly, make certain he will treat your case as a priority and that he returns messages and calls promptly.
Quality: Ask candidates what their record is like with regard to cases like yours. Even the world's best legal practitioner won't be able to have charges diminished or dismissed each and every time, but professionals who can share stories of numerous favorable outcomes are typically good choices.
Personality: People often say that "attitude is everything." Even though it may not be everything in a trial, a representative's demeanor certainly has an effect on how others react to him. The right approach can help him make friends with the judge, prosecution, jurors, which is essential during negotiations. You should be able to pick up on this trait during your initial consultation, but it can also be beneficial to visit a court to see attorneys in action.

TEXAS TURTLES
RED EAR SLIDER (Trachemys scripta elegans), (SCHOEPFF, 1792)
IDENTIFICATION: 5-12 inches (12.7-30.4 cm). The carapace is oval from a dorsal perspective and there may be serrated edges present on the rear marginal scutes. Among mature specimens, the carapace contains numerous longitudinally oriented shallow ridges. These become more pronounced as the turtle grows older. A low mid-dorsal keel is also present on the carapace. A broad red stripe is present behind the eye. However, this colorful mark like other color markings becomes faded with advanced age. Females are the larger of the sexes.
Juveniles are the most colorful with yellow lines interlacing a lime green base coloration. As the turtle grows the yellow lines become less pronounced. Adults often display yellow lines, but they are much finer and less distinguished than those present on juveniles.
Mature males posses a longer and wider tail with a cloacal opening that extends beyond the posterior margin of the carapace. They also develop elongated fore claws that are used to vibrate water alongside the female's ears during courtship.
Reproductive behavior usually takes place between March to August and begins with the male courting the female. All reproductive activity with the exception of egg laying takes place in the water. Courtship behavior involves the male orienting himself in front of the female face to face. He then extends his front legs until the elongated front claws are aligned next to her tympanum. Then with rapid movements in his wrist he gently strums the water alongside her head. Courtship may take up to one hour to complete. Should the female be receptive to his advances copulation ensues. The male then orients himself behind the female and mounts the posterior portion of her carapace where he can align his cloaca with hers.
Females lay three clutches of 1-30 eggs from April to August. Clutch size depends upon the size of the female. Hatching generally requires between 60 to 90 days. The sexes of red eared sliders are determined by their incubation temperature.
Red ear sliders are opportunistic with their diet and consume a range of aquatic vegetation and prey items including but not limited to: duckweed, algae, hyacinth, and various other aquatic plants, worms, snails, crayfish, insects, arachnids, small amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. It is an inaccurate notion that this turtle poses a threat to fish populations. Most healthy fish are too fast and wary to be caught by the red ear slider and the removal of any old or sick fish is a manner by which the overall health of the remaining fish population is improved. Sliders will also consume carrion that has fallen into the water.

PNC launches Akoya solution to increase the security of connections for consumers to safely transact with financial apps
| September 30, 2021 |
Solution enhances data security and provides reliability through authorized API connections
PITTSBURGH, PA (September 30, 2021) – PNC Bank (NYSE: PNC) and Akoya LLC today announced the bank's integration with the Akoya Data Access Network. More than nine million PNC customers are now enabled to securely share their financial data with fintechs and data aggregators with enhanced security through the application programming interface (API)-based network.
"PNC takes very seriously our responsibility to protect the financial and account information that our customers entrust to us," said PNC Chairman, President and CEO William S. Demchak. "Many customers assume it is safe to provide their sensitive information to the financial app of their choice. However, we know this information has been used for unauthorized access to customer accounts. That is why we have been taking interim steps to provide accessibility and security – and with today's announcement, we are providing a permanent solution for striking the right balance between customer choice and data protection."
Through Akoya, PNC customers will provide permission to share account information with financial apps without having to provide their login information, such as usernames and passwords. PNC customers also will be able to easily monitor and revoke access to fintechs and data aggregators connected through the Akoya Data Access Network.
"By teaming up with Akoya, we are fulfilling our vision of wide-scale API adoption for financial data aggregation and giving our customers increased protection, transparency and control over their financial information," said Natalie Talpas, senior vice president, group manager, Digital at PNC. "It is imperative that financial institutions, fintechs and data aggregators of all sizes work together to create a safer path for consumers to share their financial data and move away from less secure data-sharing methods."
Akoya was developed to transition financial services to API-based data access, which improves data-sharing reliability and reduces cybersecurity, privacy and financial risks compared to credential-based data aggregation, commonly known as screen scraping. All data accessed and shared through the Akoya Data Access Network is never copied or stored by Akoya – further safeguarding consumer privacy – and is accessed via the Financial Data Exchange API standard.
"Today, we are announcing more than just an agreement – PNC is in production and available to fintechs and data aggregators who are on our network," said Stuart Rubinstein, CEO of Akoya. "We have worked tirelessly to streamline our integration process so that data providers can onboard and provide an API-based alternative for financial data aggregation as quickly as possible."
PNC was one of 12 North American financial institutions to invest in Akoya in February 2020.
Akoya is changing the way consumer financial data is accessed and shared. Through a single integration on to the Akoya Data Access Network, data aggregators and fintechs can directly connect with financial institutions to securely obtain consumer-permissioned financial data through APIs. Akoya manages these relationships and serves as an interoperable solution that is available to the entire financial services industry. The independent company is co-owned by 12 North American financial institutions. To learn more, please visit www.akoya.com or follow Akoya on LinkedIn and Twitter.
