This module makes it possible to transfer requests to another server.
Nginx is a HTTP/1.0 proxy and as such does not support keep-alive requests to the backend. Threfore, backend connections are created and destroyed on every request. HTTP/1.1 proxying is currently available in the development version so if needed you can use that. Nginx is fully HTTP/1.1 to the browser and as such it handles keep-alive to the browser.
location / { proxy_pass http://localhost:8000; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; }
Note that when using the HTTP Proxy Module (or even when using FastCGI), the entire client request will be buffered in nginx before being passed on to the backend proxied servers. As a result, upload progress meters will not function correctly if they work by measuring the data received by the backend servers.
syntax: proxy_bind address
default: none
context: http, server, location
version: ≥ 0.8.22
proxy_bind 192.168.1.1;
This directive binds each upstream socket to a local address before calling connect(). It may be useful if host has several interfaces/aliases and you want to pass outgoing connections from specific interface/address.
syntax: proxy_buffer_size the_size;
default: proxy_buffer_size 4k/8k;
context: http, server, location
This directive set the buffer size, into which will be read the first part of the response, obtained from the proxied server.
In this part of response the small response-header is located, as a rule.
By default, the buffer size is equal to the size of one buffer in directive
proxy_buffers; however, it is possible to set it to less.
syntax: proxy_buffering on|off;
default: proxy_buffering on;
context: http, server, location
This directive activate response buffering of the proxied server.
If buffering is activated, then nginx reads the answer from the proxied server as fast as possible, saving it in the buffer as configured by directives
proxy_buffer_size and
proxy_buffers. If the response does not fit into memory, then parts of it will be written to disk.
If buffering is switched off, then the response is synchronously transferred to client immediately as it is received. nginx does not attempt to read the entire answer from the proxied server, the maximum size of data which nginx can accept from the server is set by directive
Also note that caching upstream proxy responses won't work if proxy_buffering is set to off.
For Comet applications based on long-polling it is important to set proxy_buffering to off, otherwise the asynchronous response is buffered and the Comet does not work.
Buffering can be set on a per-request basis by setting the X-Accel-Buffering header in the proxy response.
syntax: proxy_buffers the_number is_size;
default: proxy_buffers 8 4k/8k;
context: http, server, location
This directive sets the number and the size of buffers, into which will be read the answer, obtained from the proxied server. By default, the size of one buffer is equal to the size of page. Depending on platform this is either 4K or 8K.
syntax: proxy_busy_buffers_size size;
default: proxy_busy_buffers_size proxy_buffer_size * 2;
context: http, server, location, if
TODO: Description.
syntax: proxy_cache zone_name;
default: None
context: http, server, location
This directive sets name of zone for caching. The same zone can be used in multiple places.
The cache honors backend's "Expires", "Cache-Control: no-cache", and "Cache-Control: max-age=XXX" headers since version 0.7.48. Since version 7.66, "private" and "no-store" are also honored. nginx does not handle "Vary" headers when caching. In order to ensure private items are not served to all users unintentionally by the cache, the back-end can set "no-cache" or "max-age=0", or the proxy_cache_key must include user-specific data such as $cookie_xxx. However, using cookie values as part of proxy_cache_key can defeat the benefits of caching for public items, so separate locations with different proxy_cache_key values might be necessary to separate private and public items.
The cache depends on proxy buffers, and will not work if proxy_buffers is set to off.
The following response headers flag a response as uncacheable unless they are ignored:
- Set-Cookie
- Cache-Control containing "no-cache", "no-store", "private", or a "max-age" with a non-numeric or 0 value
- Expires with a time in the past
- X-Accel-Expires: 0
syntax: proxy_cache_bypass line [...];
default: off
context: http, server, location
The directive specifies the conditions under which the answer will not be taken from the cache. If at least one of a string variable is not empty and not equal to "0", the answer is not taken from the cache:
proxy_cache_bypass $cookie_nocache $arg_nocache $arg_comment; proxy_cache_bypass $http_pragma $http_authorization;
Note that the response from the back-end is still eligible for caching. Thus one way of refreshing an item in the cache is sending a request with a header you pick yourself, e.g. "My-Secret-Header: 1", then having a proxy_cache_bypass line like:
proxy_cache_bypass $http_my_secret_header;
Can be used in conjunction with the directive proxy_no_cache.
syntax: proxy_cache_key line;
default: $scheme$proxy_host$request_uri;
context: http, server, location
The directive specifies what information is included in the key for caching, for example
proxy_cache_key "$host$request_uri$cookie_user";
Note that by default, the hostname of the server is not included in the cache key. If you are using subdomains for different locations on your website, you need to include it, e.g. by changing the cache key to something like
proxy_cache_key "$scheme$host$request_uri";
syntax: proxy_cache_methods [GET HEAD POST];
default: proxy_cache_methods GET HEAD;
context: http, server, location
GET/HEAD is syntax sugar, i.e. you can not disable GET/HEAD even if you set just
proxy_cache_methods POST;
syntax: proxy_cache_min_uses the_number;
default: proxy_cache_min_uses 1;
context: http, server, location
Number of queries, after which reply will be cached.
syntax: proxy_cache_path path [levels=number] keys_zone=zone_name:zone_size [inactive=time] [max_size=size];
default: None
context: http
This directive sets the cache path and other cache parameters. Cached data is stored in files. An MD5 hash of the proxied URL is used as the key for the cache entry, and is also used as the filename in the cache path for the response contents and metadata. The levels parameter sets the number of subdirectory levels in cache. For example:
proxy_cache_path /data/nginx/cache/one levels=1:2 keys_zone=one:10m;
In this cache, file names will be like the following:
You may use any combination of 1 and 2 in the level formats: X, X:X, or X:X:X e.g.: "2", "2:2", "1:1:2". There can be at most 3 levels.
All active keys and metadata is stored in shared memory. Zone name and the size of the zone is defined via the keys_zone parameter.
Note that each defined zone must have a unique path. For example:
proxy_cache_path /data/nginx/cache/one levels=1 keys_zone=one:10m; proxy_cache_path /data/nginx/cache/two levels=2:2 keys_zone=two:100m; proxy_cache_path /data/nginx/cache/three levels=1:1:2 keys_zone=three:1000m;
If cached data is not requested for time defined by the inactive parameter, than that data is removed from the cache. The inactive parameter defaults to 10 minutes (10m).
A special process, called "cache manager", is created to control the on-disk cache. It is responsible for removing inactive items and enforcing the size of the cache, as defined by the parameter max_size. When the total size of the cache exceeds the maximum size set by max_size, the least recently used data in the cache is deleted to make room for a new cache entry (a LRU replacement policy).
Zone size should be set proportional to number of pages to cache. The size of the metadata for one page (file) depends on the OS; currently it is 64 bytes for FreeBSD/i386, and 128 bytes for FreeBSD/amd64.
The directories specified by proxy_cache_path and proxy_temp_path should be located on the same filesystem.
syntax: proxy_cache_use_stale [error|timeout|updating|invalid_header|http_500|http_502|http_503|http_504|http_404|off] [...];
default: proxy_cache_use_stale off;
context: http, server, location
This directive tells Nginx when to serve a stale item from the proxy cache. The parameters for this directive are similar to proxy_next_upstream with the addition of 'updating'.
To prevent cache stampedes (when multiple threads stampede in to try to update the cache simultaneously) you can specify the 'updating' parameter. This will cause one thread to update the cache and while the update is in progress all other threads will serve the stale version of what is in the cache.
syntax: proxy_cache_valid reply_code [reply_code ...] time;
default: None
context: http, server, location
This directive sets the time for caching different replies. Example:
proxy_cache_valid 200 302 10m; proxy_cache_valid 404 1m;
sets 10 minutes cache time for replies with code 200 and 302, and 1 minute for 404s.
If only time is specified:
then only replies with codes 200, 301 and 302 will be cached.
Also it is possible to cache any replies with parameter "any":
proxy_cache_valid 200 302 10m; proxy_cache_valid 301 1h; proxy_cache_valid any 1m;
Upstream cache-related directives have priority over proxy_cache_valid value, in particular the order is (from Igor):
- X-Accel-Expires
- Expires/Cache-Control
- proxy_cache_valid
The order in which your backend return HTTP headers change cache behaviour. Read this post for details.
You may ignore the headers using
Concerning If-Modified / Last-Modified since behaviour, please remember that by default nginx sends 304 only if L-M == I-M-S. Controlled by directive if_modified_since [off|exact|before]
Note: you must set this option for any persistent caching to occur.
syntax: proxy_connect_timeout time;
default: proxy_connect_timeout 60s;
context: http, server, location
This directive assigns a timeout for the connection to the upstream server. It is necessary to keep in mind that this time out cannot be more than 75 seconds.
This is not the time until the server returns the pages, that is the proxy_read_timeout statement. If your upstream server is up, but hanging (e.g. it does not have enough threads to process your request so it puts you in the pool of connections to deal with later), then this statement will not help as the connection to the server has been made.
syntax: proxy_headers_hash_bucket_size size;
default: proxy_headers_hash_bucket_size 64;
context: http, server, location, if
This directive sets the bucket size of the headers hash table.
This determines the limit of the header name. If you use header names longer than 64 characters then increase this.
syntax: proxy_headers_hash_max_size size;
default: proxy_headers_hash_max_size 512;
context: http, server, location, if
This directive sets the maximum size of the headers hash table.
Should not be smaller than the amount of headers your back-end is setting.
syntax: proxy_hide_header the_header
context: http, server, location
nginx does not transfer the "Date", "Server", "X-Pad" and "X-Accel-..." header lines from the proxied server response. The
proxy_hide_header directive allows to hide some additional header lines. But if on the contrary the header lines must be passed, then the
proxy_pass_header should be used. For example if you want to hide the MS-OfficeWebserver and the AspNet-Version:
location / { proxy_hide_header X-AspNet-Version; proxy_hide_header MicrosoftOfficeWebServer; }
This directive can also be very helpful when using X-Accel-Redirect. For example, you may have one set of backend servers which return the headers for a file download, which includes X-Accel-Redirect to the actual file, as well as the correct Content-Type. However, the Redirect URL points to a files erver which hosts the actual file you wish to serve, and that server sends its own Content-Type header, which might be incorrect, and overrides the header sent by the original backend servers. You can avoid this by adding the proxy_hide_header directive to the fileserver. Example:
location / { proxy_pass http://backend_servers; } location /files/ { proxy_pass http://fileserver; proxy_hide_header Content-Type; }
syntax: proxy_ignore_client_abort [ on|off ]
default: proxy_ignore_client_abort off
context: http, server, location
Prevents aborting request to proxy in case the client itself aborts the request.
syntax: proxy_ignore_headers name [name ...]
default: none
context: http, server, location
version: ≥ 0.7.54
Prohibits the processing of the header lines from the proxy server's response.
It can specify the string as "X-Accel-Redirect", "X-Accel-Expires", "Expires", "Cache-Control" or "Set-Cookie". By default, nginx does not caches requests with Set-Cookie.
syntax: proxy_intercept_errors [ on|off ];
default: proxy_intercept_errors off;
context: http, server, location
versions: ≥ 1.1.x
This directive decides if nginx will intercept responses with HTTP status codes of 400 and higher.
By default all responses will be sent as-is from the proxied server.
If you set this to
on then nginx will intercept status codes that are explicitly handled by an
error_page directive. Responses with status codes that do not match an
error_page directive will be sent as-is from the proxied server.
syntax: proxy_max_temp_file_size size;
default: proxy_max_temp_file_size 1G;
context: http, server, location, if
The maximum size of a temporary file when the content is larger than the proxy buffer. If file is larger than this size, it will be served synchronously from upstream server rather than buffered to disk.
If proxy_max_temp_file_size is equal to zero, temporary files usage will be disabled.
syntax: proxy_method [method];
default: None
context: http, server, location
Allows you to override the HTTP method of the request to be passed to the backend server. If you specify POST for example, all requests forwarded to the backend server will be POST requests.
proxy_method POST;
syntax: proxy_next_upstream [error|timeout|invalid_header|http_500|http_502|http_503|http_504|http_404|off];
default: proxy_next_upstream error timeout;
context: http, server, location
Directive determines in what cases the request will be transmitted to the next server:
- error — an error has occurred while connecting to the server, sending a request to it, or reading its response;
- timeout — occurred timeout during the connection with the server, transfer the request or while reading response from the server;
- invalid_header — server returned a empty or incorrect answer;
- http_500 — server returned answer with code 500
- http_502 — server returned answer with code 502
- http_503 — server returned answer with code 503
- http_504 — server returned answer with code 504
- http_404 — server returned answer with code 404
- off — it forbids the request transfer to the next server
Transferring the request to the next server is only possible when nothing has been transferred to the client -- that is, if an error or timeout arises in the middle of the transfer of the request, then it is not possible to retry the current request on a different server.
syntax: proxy_no_cache variable1 variable2 ...;
default: None
context: http, server, location
Specifies in what cases a response will not be cached, e.g.
proxy_no_cache $cookie_nocache $arg_nocache $arg_comment; proxy_no_cache $http_pragma $http_authorization;
The response is marked uncacheable if any of the arguments expand to anything other than "0" or the empty string. For instance, in the above example, the response will never be cached if the cookie "nocache" is set in the request.
syntax: proxy_pass URL;
default: None
context: location, if in location
This directive sets the address of the proxied server and the URI to which location will be mapped. Address may be given as hostname or address and port, for example,
proxy_pass http://localhost:8000/uri/;
or as unix socket path:
proxy_pass http://unix:/path/to/backend.socket:/uri/;
path is given after the word
unix between two colons.
By default, the Host header from the request is not forwarded, but is set based on the proxy_pass statement. To forward the requested Host header, it is necessary to use:
While passing request nginx replaces URI part which corresponds to location with one indicated in proxy_pass directive. But there are two exceptions from this rule when it is not possible to determine what to replace:
- if the location is given by regular expression;
- if inside proxied location URI is changed by rewrite directive, and this configuration will be used to process request (break):
location /name/ { rewrite /name/([^/] +) /users?name=$1 break; proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1; }
For these cases of URI it is transferred without the mapping.
Furthermore, it is possible to indicate so that URI should be transferred in the same form as sent by client, not in processed form. During processing:
- two or by more slashes are converted into one slash: "//" -- "/";
- references to the current directory are removed: "/./" -- "/";
- references to the previous catalog are removed: "/dir /../" -- "/".
If it is necessary to transmit URI in the unprocessed form then directive proxy_pass should be used without URI part:
location /some/path/ { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1; }
A special case is using variables in the proxy_pass statement: The requested URL is not used and you are fully responsible to construct the target URL yourself.
This means, the following is not what you want for rewriting into a zope virtual host monster, as it will proxy always to the same URL (within one server specification):
location / { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/VirtualHostBase/https/$server_name:443/some/path/VirtualHostRoot; }
Instead use a combination of rewrite and proxy_pass:
location / { rewrite ^(.*)$ /VirtualHostBase/https/$server_name:443/some/path/VirtualHostRoot$1 break; proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080; }
In this case URL sanitizing is done already as part of the rewriting process, i.e. a trailing slash with the proxy_pass statement has no further effect.
If you need the proxy connection to an upstream server group to use SSL, your proxy_pass rule should use https:// and you will also have to set your SSL port explicitly in the upstream definition. Example:
syntax: proxy_pass_header the_name;
context: http, server, location
This directive allows transferring header-lines forbidden for response.
For example:
location / { proxy_pass_header X-Accel-Redirect; }
syntax: proxy_pass_request_body [ on | off ];
default: proxy_pass_request_body on;
context: http, server, location
version: ≥ 0.1.29
Defines whether or not the request body should be passed to the proxy.
Should usually be left on.
syntax: proxy_pass_request_headers [ on | off ];
default: proxy_pass_request_headers on;
context: http, server, location
version: ≥ 0.1.29
Defines whether or not the request headers should be passed to the proxy.
Should usually be left on.
syntax: proxy_redirect [ default|off|redirect replacement ];
default: proxy_redirect default;
context: http, server, location
This directive sets the text, which must be changed in response-header "Location" and "Refresh" in the response of the proxied server.
Let us suppose the proxied server returned line
Location: http://localhost:8000/two/some/uri/.
The directive
proxy_redirect http://localhost:8000/two/ http://frontend/one/;
will rewrite this line in the form
Location: http://frontend/one/some/uri/.
In the replaceable line it is possible not to indicate the name of the server:
proxy_redirect http://localhost:8000/two/ /;
then the basic name of server and port is set, if it is different from 80.
The change by default, given by the parameter "default", uses the parameters of directives location and proxy_pass.
Therefore two following configurations are equivalent:
location /one/ { proxy_pass http://upstream:port/two/; proxy_redirect default; } location /one/ { proxy_pass http://upstream:port/two/; proxy_redirect http://upstream:port/two/ /one/; }
In the replace line, it is possible to use some variables:
proxy_redirect http://localhost:8000/ http://$host:$server_port/;
This directive repeated some times:
proxy_redirect default; proxy_redirect http://localhost:8000/ /; proxy_redirect http://www.example.com/ /;
The parameter
off forbids all
proxy_redirect directives at this level:
proxy_redirect off; proxy_redirect default; proxy_redirect http://localhost:8000/ /; proxy_redirect http://www.example.com/ /;
With the help of this directive it is possible to add the name of host for relative redirect, issued by the proxied server:
proxy_redirect / /;
syntax: proxy_read_timeout time;
default: proxy_read_timeout 60s;
context: http, server, location
This directive sets the read timeout for the response of the proxied server. It determines how long nginx will wait to get the response to a request. The timeout is established not for entire response, but only between two operations of reading.
In contrast to proxy_connect_timeout, this timeout will catch a server that puts you in it's connection pool but does not respond to you with anything beyond that. Be careful though not to set this too low, as your proxy server might take a longer time to respond to requests on purpose (e.g. when serving you a report page that takes some time to compute). You are able though to have a different setting per location, which enables you to have a higher proxy_read_timeout for the report page's location.
Deprecated. Use
syntax: proxy_send_lowat [ on | off ];
default: proxy_send_lowat off;
context: http, server, location, if
This directive set SO_SNDLOWAT.
This directive is only available on FreeBSD
syntax: proxy_send_timeout time;
default: proxy_send_timeout 60s;
context: http, server, location
This directive assigns timeout with the transfer of request to the upstream server. Timeout is established not on entire transfer of request, but only between two write operations. If after this time the upstream server will not take new data, then nginx is shutdown the connection.
syntax: proxy_set_body value;
default: none
context: http, server, location, if
version: >= 0.3.10
Set the body value passed to the backend. This value can contain variables.
syntax: proxy_set_header header value;
default: Host and Connection
context: http, server, location
This directive allows to redefine and to add some request header lines which will be transferred to the proxied server.
As the value it is possible to use a text, variables and their combination.
proxy_set_header directives issued at higher levels are only inherited when no
proxy_set_header directives have been issued at a given level.
By default only two lines will be redefined:
proxy_set_header Host $proxy_host; proxy_set_header Connection Close;
The unchanged request-header "Host" can be transmitted like this:
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
However, if this line is absent from the client request, then nothing will be transferred.
In this case it is better to use variable $host, it's value is equal to the name of server in the request-header "Host" or to the basic name of server, if there is no line:
Furthermore, it is possible to transmit the name of server together with the port of the proxied server:
proxy_set_header Host $host:$proxy_port;
If value is empty string, than header will not be sent to upstream. For example this setting can be used to disable gzip compression on upstream:
proxy_set_header Accept-Encoding "";
syntax: proxy_ssl_session_reuse [ on | off ];
default: proxy_ssl_session_reuse on;
context: http, server, location
version: ≥ 0.7.11
Attempt to reuse ssl session when connecting to upstream via https.
syntax: proxy_store [on | off | path];
default: proxy_store off
context: http, server, location
This directive sets the path in which upstream files are stored. The parameter "on" preserves files in accordance with path specified in directives alias or root. The parameter "off" forbids storing. Furthermore, the name of the path can be clearly assigned with the aid of the line with the variables:
proxy_store /data/www$uri;
The time of modification for the file will be set to the date of "Last-Modified" header in the response. To be able to safe files in this directory it is necessary that the path is under the directory with temporary files, given by directive proxy_temp_path for the data location.
This directive can be used for creating the local copies for dynamic output of the backend which is not very often changed, for example:
location /images/ { root /data/www; error_page 404 = /fetch$uri; } location /fetch { internal; proxy_pass http://backend; proxy_store on; proxy_store_access user:rw group:rw all:r; proxy_temp_path /data/temp; alias /data/www; }
or this way:
location /images/ { root /data/www; error_page 404 = @fetch; } location @fetch { internal; proxy_pass http://backend; proxy_store on; proxy_store_access user:rw group:rw all:r; proxy_temp_path /data/temp; root /data/www; }
To be clear proxy_store is not a cache, it's rather mirror on demand.
syntax: proxy_store_access users:permissions [users:permission ...];
default: proxy_store_access user:rw;
context: http, server, location
This directive assigns the permissions for the created files and directories, for example:
proxy_store_access user:rw group:rw all:r;
If any rights for groups or all are assigned, then it is not necessary to assign rights for user:
proxy_store_access group:rw all:r;
syntax: proxy_temp_file_write_size size;
default: proxy_temp_file_write_size proxy_buffer_size * 2;
context: http, server, location, if
Sets the amount of data that will be flushed to the proxy_temp_path when writing. It may be used to prevent a worker process blocking for too long while spooling data.
syntax: proxy_temp_path dir-path [ level1 [ level2 [ level3 ];
default: $NGX_PREFIX/proxy_temp controlled by --http-proxy-temp-path at ./configure stage
context: http, server, location
This directive works like client_body_temp_path to specify a location to buffer large proxied requests to the filesystem.
deprecated: 0.5.0 -- Please use the fail_timeout parameter of server directive from the upstream module.
deprecated: 0.5.0 -- Please use the max_fails parameter of server directive from the upstream module.
In module ngx_http_proxy_module there are some built-in variables, which can be used for the creation of headers with the help of the
proxy_set_header directive:
Contains client request-header "X-Forwarded-For" with separated by comma $remote_addr. If there is no X-Forwarded-For request-header, than $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for is equal to $remote_addr.
The name and port of the upstream server that handled the request.
Length of the proxy request body set by proxy_set_body.
The port of the upstream server that handled the request.

Immigrants have been disproportionately hit by the global economic crisis that began in 2008 and now confront a number of challenges. The report, which has a particular focus on Germany, Ireland, Spain, the United Kingdom, and United States finds that the unemployment gap between immigrant and native workers has widened in many places.
MPI report release with Dovelyn Rannveig Agunias, Luzviminda Padilla, Jeni Klugman, and Kathleen Newland, which examines the Philippines' large and sophisticated system of overseas labor deployment.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is the third-largest destination for Filipino migrants, with private recruitment agencies in both countries managing the flow of 200,000 Filipino workers who head there annually. This report examines the recruiters' practices as well as their regulation by the Philippine and UAE governments, offering recommendations to strengthen the system of oversight.
The enlargement of the European Union has fundamentally changed migration patterns to the United Kingdom. Since May 2004 an estimated 1.5 million workers have moved to the UK from new EU member states. This report looks at the challenges ahead as migration patterns shift across the UK.
This report, commissioned by the BBC World Service, seeks to explore the myriad impacts of the global financial crisis that began in September 2008 on migration flows, immigration policies, remittances, and on migrants themselves. Select countries and regions are examined in detail to highlight overarching trends and regional differences.
In order to rectify the shortcomings of a rigid and outdated U.S. visa system set in place by the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA), this report recommends creating a new visa stream called provisional visas which would sync visa policies with the way in which labor markets work in practice, and bridge temporary and permanent employment-based admissions to the United States in a predictable and transparent way.
This book reflects the effort of the Transatlantic Council on Migration to map how profound demographic change is likely to affect the size and character of global migration flows; and how governments can shape immigration policy in a world increasingly attuned to the hunt for talent.

Come take a look! Decide if Andrews is right for you. We've found that one of the most effective ways—if not the best way—to discover which school fits you best is through a campus visit. So come on!
Come take a look! Decide if Andrews is right for you. We've found that one of the most effective ways—if not the best way—to discover which school fits you best is through a campus visit. So come on!
Let's be honest, choosing the right university can be challenging. That's why we are here to make it as easy as possible. From booking your accommodations to setting up meetings with all the important people, we've got you covered. When coming for a visit, Andrews University will cover up to two nights of lodging and two days of meals on our campus for the prospective student and their immediate family.

TTS – Tip and Tail Stabilizer System. A ski with reduced vibration and increased dampening and a system to increase torsional strength all while at the same time reducing swing weight.
TTS is a stabilizing exoskeleton which dampens the vibrations normally felt from rockered tips and tails also reduces overall swing weight and creates a ski with a playful yet high level of performance. The system is comprised of an elastomeric inlay for vibration control as well as a glass fiber exoskeleton for stability and torsional strength. This combination not only reduces vibrations but creates better pressure distribution upon entry and exit of a turn by minimizing lateral flex of the ski. Reducing overall vibration means better edge control and therefore increasing overall skiing performance and skier experience. In addition, the reduction of necessary core materials in the tips and tails has created a lighter swing weight for easier handling and maneuverability both on snow and in the air.

The focus of our research is to understand how chlamydiae evade innate host defense mechanisms, to define mechanisms of adaptive protective immunity, and to identify protective antigens. This information is being used to design new therapeutic strategies for the prevention of human chlamydial diseases. We use in vitro and in vivo models of infection together with comparative genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, modern cell biology, and immunology to accomplish these goals.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
What are some opinions on good shoes for the course? So many today that are comfortable have too much mesh and the feet and socks are filthy. The ones that are solid seem to be extremely uncomfortable.
Views: 232
Have been playing over twenty years, been through Nike, New Balance, Merrell, Hitek, Keen, etc. and the shoe I currently wear is Ahnu. I started wearing my second set after three years or so, then bought a couple more pairs on closeout because I like them so much. I have never seen anyone else wearing them but I think that's because they aren't well known.
I am still searching myself. Have tried MANY and not found what I am looking for. My latest pair are Merrell Moab's because they are labeled Waterproof. Yeah, Right....... The search continues.
Vibram FiveFingers.
They make a great shoe for sure! Found a pair on sale, so I thought I'd give them a try. Very comfy for sure. Another newish company is Oboz. Haven't used them for disc golf, but another great shoe.
got some new balance 625 all terrain shoes assembled in the USA
Searching for shoes with wide feet and bad ankles sucks. I may end up with Moab Mids as they come in wide sizes... rarely.
I like shoes. And beer. I sometimes drink beer while wearing shoes.
I like my Vibram 5 fingers, they feel great once you are used to them, but I finally got my first Merrils and after a year they seem really well put together and are so comfortable I've been wearing them as my primary shoe. just my two cents :)
I wear something with an aggressive tread and waterproof if weather is rainy or snowy. Otherwise I'll wear a nice trail runner shoe with aggressive tread as well.
Try New balance. They size all the way to EEEE.
Has anyone tried the Keen Milo II? Are they REALLY Waterproof? As much as I play in the rain here in Washington State, WATERPROOF would be GREAT!

More on Brain Health
En español l Antioxidants! Omega-3s! Anti-inflammatory diets! Can something you eat really help you remember — again — where you put your cellphone or reading glasses? If you add blueberries to your morning oatmeal or sip a glass of red wine at dinner, will your brain cells stay healthier longer?
Much of what we hear about the interplay between diet and brain health is based on preliminary research and then flooded in hype. As headlines have linked one food or another to Alzheimer's disease and other illnesses, we have rushed to remove them from our diet. The problem is, as soon as one headline urges us to eat this, not that, it seems there's another saying just the opposite.
Why all the confusion?
Proving conclusively which foods actually boost brain health is difficult and expensive, requiring large scale, long-term clinical trials. "When you're eating blueberries, you're not eating just one nutrient," explains Gene L. Bowman, a brain nutrition researcher at Oregon Health & Science University. "You're eating a complex mixture of hundreds of them. Is it the antioxidants that improved cognition or the vitamins? Most likely, it's the unique combination of all of them."
Fun Video: A hilarious look at middle-age forgetfulness
Still, it's become increasingly clear that how you eat may counteract the effects of an aging brain. "The best recipe is a diet that includes brain-building nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants and certain vitamins, and steers clear of foods that promote high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity and diabetes," says Majid Fotuhi, M.D., chairman of Maryland's Neurology Institute for Brain Health and Fitness and author of the upcoming Boost Your Brain: The New Art and Science Behind Enhanced Brain Performance.
It's never too late to start reaping the benefits of a brain-healthy diet. But don't try to detox all at once. Start slowly, and you'll soon realize that making more healthy choices isn't so hard after all. Here's what you need to know.

How to make them last longer and eliminate rusting
When you purchase a box of steel wool pads, immediately take a pair of scissors and cut each pad into halves. After years of having to throw away rusted and unused and smelly pads, you'll decide that this will be much more economical. In fact, you'll notice that the scissors get sharpened this way!
Plain steel wool pads, which are NOT filled with soap are kosher. Steel wool pads which are filled with soap do need kosher certification. Use steel wool to:
Rachael Ray's steel wool tip: Watch this video to prevent steel wool from rusting.

We started our 12 Days of Nashville Christmas Music series on Tuesday with Jars of Clay's new Live At Gray Matters, Vol. 3 (The Christmas Edition) EP, and followed Wednesday with "Auld Lang Syne" from The Sing-Off stars Street Corner Symphony.
Today, we share some holiday tidings from Nashville rock standout and Raconteurs co-frontman Brendan Benson, who just returned home from a lengthy co-headlining tour with fellow rock mainstays The Posies. While he was out and about, Benson stopped by the offices of The Onion's A.V. Club to show off his take on "Merry Xmas Everybody," by English glam-rock cult favorites Slade.
Benson tells the A.V. Club folks that his interest in the song was first piqued when he heard it in a club in England. Some helpful clubgoers helped him suss out the responsible band.
"It was during Christmastime and they blasted it, and everyone's singing along to it," he said, agreeing with his interviewer that the tune is something of a "Christmas anthem" across the pond.
Now that he's back home, Benson is getting ready to hit the studio to record a new solo album, which'll follow up 2009's My Old, Familiar Friend. In the meantime, take a listen to his holiday offering above, and check back for more locally generated holiday sounds.

Not certain this is the right place, but don't see anything obvious for hardware issues. If this needs to be moved - it prolly does - no problem.
I've found myself in a position such that I need a 3rd monitor. (Don't ask, it's a long story .)
Currently have an nVidia 7300 GS card, with two outputs, been working fine, even with the switch to Windows 7.
However, while searching for video cards with 4-8 outputs (3-4 would be ideal), I cannot seem to find any legitimate reviews, performance analyses, & the like.
So, anyone have experience, a preference, in regard to such cards? The leader, at least in find frequency, seems to be Matrox, with ATI next, but w/o valid reviews, it's awkward to decide.
Not a game player, so don't need WoW capability or the like, but this may involve a lot of graphic/video work. Running Win7, 32-bit, at least until I get a newer system. 2.8G Intel dual-core CPU, 3G RAM. Suppose the card should have a pretty strong GPU, but that'll have to be balanced against price/performance, I'd think. It'll need at least 1920x1200 resolution & 3 - heads? - outputs, and I'd really like to keep it as far under $1,000 as possible.
I don't mind spending the coin, but at the prices I've seen, don't think I can afford to experiment very much.

A woman hit by a car as she crossed Georgia Avenue Thursday has died from her injuries this morning.
Barbara Jean Green, age 70, of Washington, DC, was attempting to walk across the northbound lanes of Georgia Avenue in a marked crosswalk at Henderson Avenue about 2 p.m. Thursday, according to Montgomery County Police Officer Janelle Smith. Miriam Rose Parizer, 91, of the 15300 block of Pine Orchard Drive in Silver Spring, was driving north on Georgia Avenue in the Honda Accord that struck her, police said.
Green was taken to Suburban Hospital, where her condition deteriorated, and she died early this morning, according to Smith.
Parizer and her passenger, Eva Maria Burger, 88, of the 3300 block of N. Leisure World Boulevard in Silver Spring were not injured in the accident.
The circumstances surrounding the accident remain under investigation. Anyone with information regarding the accident is asked to contact the Collision Reconstruction Unit at 240-773-6620. Callers may remain anonymous.
Also, Thursday, a 14-year-old boy was struck by a vehicle on Veirs Mill Road just before 3 p.m., according to Smith.
The teen was taken to a local hospital and is being treated, she said. Smith said Friday the teen is expected to survive.
The road was closed between Bradley Avenue and Atlantic Avenue while police investigated.

Is it considered to be "un-tznius" (immodest) for ladies to tear keriyah (rip their clothes in mourning) in public?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Mi Yodeya is a question and answer site for those who base their lives on Jewish law and tradition and anyone interested in learning more. It's 100% free, no registration required.
The Shulchan Aruch rules (YD 340:11) that women and men have an equal obligation in terms of keri'a, but that women should turn their undershirt around after tearing it before tearing her overshirt. Furthermore, in :15 he rules that a woman who performed keri'a is allowed to perform a non-professional stitch-up immediately after tearing, whereas a man would have to wait 30 days to do so when tearing for his parents.

What are some good techniques to use (materials, knots, etc.) for building a raft by gathering wood in the local area? I'm talking about something to sail on still or slow moving bodies of water, not something which has to survive rapids and waterfalls!

I would say it depends on what other materials you have and how cold the water is. So if the water is cold, it's really important to stay out of it. If not, you can maybe endure having your feet hanging in, for example.
It also depends on how much time you have to build the raft. If you're in an emergency situation, don't even try a burn out canoe, it's too long.
In any case, you will need:
As for techniques, a large piece of cloth can hold a lot of branches together without using up too much rope. Also, building an outrigger can greatly improve stability without requiring too much wood.

Jeff Greenfield, a veteran political, media and culture reporter and analyst, has spent more than thirty years on network television. He most recently served as CBS Senior Political Correspondent. Prior to his return to CBS News, Greenfield had been senior analyst for CNN since 1998. During that time, he served as its lead analyst for its coverage of the primaries, conventions, presidential debates and election nights, as well as presidential funerals and Supreme Court confirmation hearings. Greenfield also has reported on the media, culture and trends for the cable network. Though the five-time Emmy winner's reporting has taken him to locales around the world from South Africa, to Japan, to Europe, he is principally known for his coverage of domestic politics and media. He has served as a floor reporter or anchor booth analyst for every national convention since 1988. He has twice been named to TV Guide's All-Star team as best political commentator and was cited by the Washington Journalism Review as "the best in the business" for his media analysis. Before joining CNN, Greenfield was a political and media analyst for ABC News (1983-97), appearing primarily on Nightline and delivering weekly commentaries for World News Sunday.

Kill Clover in the Lawn
If you see little white flowers in your yard with bees active around them, chances are you have clover. Most lawns do. There are many kinds of this low - growing perennial weed that set up shop in yards across the country. The most common is white clover. Here's how you can control it.
Spread Some Clover Control
Depending on where you live, weed - and - feed products can be effective against clover. Scotts® Turf Builder® Weed & Feed and Scotts® Lawn Pro® Step 2 Weed Control Plus Fertilizer are good options. If you have St. Augustine grass or zoysia, use a product that won't harm them, such as Scotts® Bonus® S Southern Weed and Feed.
Spot-Treat Clover
You need an effective weed killer that won't harm your grass. Ortho® Weed-B-Gon MAX® Weed Killer for Lawns will get the job done. In southern lawns, you can use Ortho® Weed-B-Gon MAX® for Southern Lawns. Just be sure to follow the label directions.
Clover is a perennial weed that grows easily in moist areas. This shallow - rooted weed is found throughout the U.S. Clover also performs well in nitrogen - depleted soil, so consider applying a fertilizer application to help keep it from coming back.

Wildmind Meditation News
Jul 10, 2013
Meet the "mindfulness" caucus: Politicians who meditate!
Alex Seitz-Wald, Salon: "If this can help me, a half-Irish, half-Italian quarterback from Northeast Ohio, it's for everybody," Congressman Tim Ryan says of his meditation practice developed from Buddhist traditions. The lawmaker, one of a growing group of prominent politicians incorporating mindfulness into their worldview and approach, leans back in a chair in his Longworth House Office Building suite, which includes meditation cushions and signed footballs — and even a Bud Light on display behind glass (the aluminum bottle is made in his district). "It's not woo woo!"
Despite not fitting the profile, Ryan has become an evangelist for meditation on Capitol Hill, encouraging his…

Hominids Lived Millions of Years Ago, but How Can We Tell? (Videocast)
This BioLogos videocast addresses the age of recently discovered hominid fossils and how scientists are able to obtain those dates.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
This BioLogos videocast addresses the age of recently discovered hominid fossils and how scientists are able to obtain those dates.
In recent decades, scientists have discovered more about the beginnings of humanity. The fossil record shows a gradual transition over 5 million years ago from chimpanzee-size creatures to hominids with larger brains who walked on two legs. Later hominids used fire and stone tools and had brains as large as modern humans. Fossils of homo sapiens in east Africa date back nearly 200,000 years. Humans developed hearths for fire, stone points for spears and arrows, and cave paintings by 30,000 years ago. By 10,000 years ago, humans had spread throughout the globe. Genetic studies support the same picture. Humans share more DNA with chimpanzees than with any other animal, suggesting that humans and chimps share a relatively recent common ancestor. Also, the same defective genes appear in both humans and chimps, at the same locations in the genome—an observation difficult to explain except by common ancestry. Genetics also tells us that the human population today descended from more than two people. Evolution happens not to individuals but to populations, and the amount of genetic diversity in the gene pool today suggests that the human population was never smaller than several thousand individuals. Yet all humans, of all races, are descended from this group. Humanity is one family.
Original sin often refers simply to the current state of humanity, in that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). Evolution does not raise questions about our current state of sinfulness. It does, however, raise questions about how and when the first sin occurred, and how this fallen state was transmitted to all people. The sciences of evolution and archaeology can provide some insight into these questions but are not equipped to answer them. These questions are theological, and over the centuries the church has considered many possible answers. Some of these options are consistent with the scientific evidence currently available.
Physical death is a necessary and, perhaps, disconcerting element of the evolutionary process for many Christians. It is difficult to imagine a perfect and loving God designing such a universe where forces such as natural death and entropy operate.
In this video, Pääbo covers a lot of ground, noting several lines of genetic evidence for the evolution of modern humans from earlier hominids in Africa, as well as for the interbreeding between early humans and Neanderthals.
What does it mean to be human? For the Christian, the answer is complex. In part, it is a reflection of being created in the image of God. But does the science of human evolution pose a threat to that uniqueness?
If death did not exist before Adam and Eve, how could God have used evolution to create man? And what about predators and natural catastrophes such as the mass extinction of the dinosaurs?
In this video "Conversation," Philip Yancey explains that on the way home from a trip to Mumbai, India, during which terrorists attacked the city, he began to form a list of the challenging situations he has experienced.
Science and Religion scholar Denis Alexander presents two models for relating Adam and Eve with the findings of contemporary anthropology. This essay was presented at the November 2010 Theology of Celebration Workshop

Interpretive Handbook
8689 :
Ferritin, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Ferritin is a high-molecular-weight protein that contains approximately 20% iron. It occurs normally in almost all tissues of the body but especially in hepatocytes and reticuloendothelial cells, where it serves as an iron reserve. Ferritin is also present in the serum in minute amounts, where it appears to reflect iron stores in normal individuals.
Ferritin plays a significant role in the absorption, storage, and release of iron. As the storage form of iron, ferritin remains in the body tissues until it is needed for erythropoiesis. When needed, the iron molecules are released from the apoferritin shell and bind to transferrin, the circulating plasma protein that transports iron to the erythropoietic cells.
A low serum ferritin value is thought to be the best laboratory indicator of iron depletion. Virtually all patients with low serum iron and low ferritin have iron deficiency. Serum ferritin is clinically useful in distinguishing between iron-deficiency anemia (serum ferritin levels diminished) and "anemia of chronic disease" (serum ferritin levels usually normal or elevated). Serum ferritin is a good screening test in separating erythrocyte microcytosis due to iron deficiency (low values) from microcytosis related to thalassemia minor (normal or high values). An iron-depletion state with a decreased serum ferritin value is quite common among menstruating and reproductively active females and in children.
Ferritin is an acute phase reactant. A normal serum ferritin value, therefore, cannot be used to exclude iron deficiency if a hepatic, malignant, or inflammatory condition is present.
A high serum ferritin value is seen in hemochromatosis and other iron-overload states, as well as acute hepatitis, Gaucher disease, malignancies, and chronic inflammatory disorders.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Diagnosing iron deficiency and iron-overload conditions
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Hereditary hemochromatosis or other iron-overload states, acute hepatitis, and Gaucher disease are associated with very high serum ferritin levels. Slight-to-moderate elevation occurs in many malignancies and in chronic inflammatory disorders.
Iron deficiency (uncomplicated)
Males: <24 mcg/L
Females: <11 mcg/L
Iron overload
Males: >336 mcg/L
Females: >307 mcg/L
In hemochromatosis, ferritin is often >1,000 mcg/L
For more information about hereditary hemochromatosis testing, see Hereditary Hemochromatosis Algorithm in Special Instructions.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
A normal serum ferritin value cannot be used to exclude iron deficiency if a hepatic, malignant, or inflammatory condition is present (ferritin is an acute phase reactant).
Some patients who have been exposed to animal antigens, either in the environment or as part of treatment or imaging procedure, may have circulating antianimal antibodies present. These antibodies may interfere with the assay reagents to produce unreliable results.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
Males: 24-336 mcg/L
Females: 11-307 mcg/L
Clinical References Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

Sellersburg-On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina slammed into Biloxi, MS causing many deaths and total destruction. After the hurricane, the Indiana State Police sent over 100 troopers to Biloxi, MS to assist the citizens, patrolling the streets and neighborhoods and providing some very needed relief for the Biloxi Police Department so their officers could get their lives back together. Indiana State Troopers were given police powers in Mississippi as part of the Federal Disaster Declaration that was declared for the southern part of the United States after Hurricane Katrina struck.
Fast forward to March 2, 2012, tornadoes devastate southern Indiana and during the outbreak two troopers' homes were completely destroyed and two other troopers' homes and property sustained damage. These tornadoes gained national attention for their devastation. They caught the attention of Biloxi, MS police officers and they decided to help. The Biloxi Police Department held fundraisers and collected over $9,000.00 for the troopers who were affected.
Today, at the Indiana State Police Post at Sellersburg, Officer Mike Wheeler and Lieutenant Bruce Johnson of the Biloxi, MS Police Department brought a check and presented it to the Indiana State Police Alliance who will distribute the money to help the troopers affected by the tornadoes.
