![]() ![]() (Technically, as I discuss there, you point CF to the JDK's JRE folder. Instead, you could proceed to point CF to this JDK as discussed in more detail in the other blog post. Now the JDK will be installed, but NOT as a public JRE. Pick the "public jre" option and choose the drop-down value, "this feature will not be available" (you can do that for the source code, too.) It's the 3rd option on the 2nd screen of the installer (along with options for implementing the JDK developer tools and getting java source code). ![]() If it's that you or someone did use a java JRE installer (as opposed to a JDK installer, as discussed the second "problem" of the other blog post), then just note that this is what a "JRE installer" does: implement a public JRE, and you can't control that.īut if you download and run a JDK installer instead (as recommended in my other blog post), then while it DOES implement a public JRE by default, you can choose to NOT let it do it, and I'd argue you should. If it's not the location that CF is pointing to (as can be viewed in the "settings summary" or "system information" pages of the CF Admin), then it's one that maybe exists for some other reason. You can also find out in what location the OS is finding that Java command, using the "where java" command in Windows, or "whereis java" in Linux. Note that you can do a java -version command to see the version that java command is running. Perhaps there is some older software that relies on an older JVM version (like Java 7) of the public JRE you do have. Or perhaps someone installed ANOTHER JVM on the machine, which enabled that public JRE.Īnd here's something to consider: maybe you should NOT be changing THAT public JRE, or you may break that other software relying on it. So what if you DO find that java does respond at the command prompt (in a directory where this is no java.exe, to be clear), showing the options for launching java programs? Well, that means you or someone DID let the Java installer enable that. Because then if somehow some bad guy DOES get onto your machine, or more likely just leverages some vulnerability and gets some sort of code ONTO the machine, they would be able to leverage Java without needing to know where it may be. So why is it better to NOT allow java to be run on the machine this way? For security reasons, primarily. Why is it better not to have a public JRE? ![]() That's what "public" means here (not that it's public to anyone OFF your server). It means that there is no "public JRE" on your machine.no version of Java that's been installed in such a way that it can be used by any program on the machine. If you go to the command prompt on your machine, and run the command "java" (no arguments, just the word java by itself), what do you get? If it's an error that the command can't be found, then I'd argue that's a good thing. Testing for whether this is already another public JRE One other reason is in case there may already be another JRE already installed and being used (by default) by other applications. You should generally choose NOT to install that, both for security reasons, AND to prevent Java from later prompting you or someone else to let it update itself, which then could break CF. In short, I make the case here for why you should NOT let the JDK installer implement its "public jre" option.Īs I concluded in that earlier blog post, do beware that when you run the Java JDK installer, it will have a few options, one of which is the "public jre". It's about a default option when you run a Java JDK installer (see the other post for more on JDK vs JRE options). In this post, I want to elaborate on one more common mistake. In that post, I listed about a dozen common problems that befall people who try to update the JVM that CF is using (and it and this post apply as well to Lucee or BlueDragon, or indeed any Java application server). This is a follow-up to a post I did in late 2014, CF911: 'Help! I've updated the JVM which ColdFusion uses, and now it won't start!'. And I may revise the content as necessary. Corrections are welcome, in the comments. Same with links and subsequent comments from myself or others. Some content may be outdated-though not necessarily. ![]()

![]() In a Breaking Bad MythBusters special, it was stated that silver fulminate had been added as the mercury fulminate alone did not detonate, busting the myth. In the episode of Breaking Bad titled " Crazy Handful of Nothin' ", Walter White uses mercury (II) fulminate to blow up Tuco Salamanca's headquarters. Paladin worries about being blown up while taking a pack sack off. In the TV Western series Have Gun - Will Travel, Season 4 Episode 10 "Crowbait", Russell Collins plays prospector Crowbait, who is carrying fulminated mercury. In the 1955 comedy film Mister Roberts, Ensign Frank Pulver test fires a fulminate of mercury firecracker and blows up the ship's laundry, spreading soap suds across three decks. Ī possible reaction for the decomposition of mercury(II) fulminate yields carbon dioxide gas, nitrogen gas, and a combination of relatively stable mercury salts.Ĥ Hg(CNO) 2 → 2 CO 2 + N 2 + HgO + 3 Hg(OCN)CN Hg(CNO) 2 → 2 CO + N 2 + Hg Hg(CNO) 2 → :Hg(OCN) 2 ( cyanate or / and isocyanate) 2 Hg(CNO) 2 → 2 CO 2 + N 2 + Hg + Hg(CN) 2 ( mercury(II) cyanide) In popular culture The thermal decomposition of mercury(II) fulminate can begin at temperatures as low as 100 ☌, though it proceeds at a much higher rate with increasing temperature. Silver fulminate can be prepared in a similar way, but this salt is even more unstable than mercury fulminate it can explode even under water and is impossible to accumulate in large amounts because it detonates under its own weight. The crystal structure of this compound was determined only in 2007. It was first prepared by Edward Charles Howard in 1800. Mercury(II) fulminate is prepared by dissolving mercury in nitric acid and adding ethanol to the solution. In addition, none of these compounds require mercury for manufacture, supplies of which can be unreliable in wartime. These are non-corrosive, less toxic, and more stable over time they include lead azide, lead styphnate, and tetrazene derivatives. Today, mercury fulminate has been replaced in primers by more efficient chemical substances. The reduced mercury which results forms amalgams with cartridge brass, weakening it, as well. Mercury fulminate has the distinct advantage over potassium chlorate of being non-corrosive, but it is known to weaken with time, by decomposing into its constituent elements. Later, during the late 19th century and most of the 20th century, mercury fulminate became widely used in primers for self-contained rifle and pistol ammunition it was the only practical detonator for firing projectiles until the early 20th century. ![]() Mercury(II) cyanate, though its chemical formula is identical, has a different atomic arrangement the cyanate and fulminate anions are isomers.įirst used as a priming composition in small copper caps beginning in the 1820s, mercury fulminate quickly replaced flints as a means to ignite black powder charges in muzzle-loading firearms. It is highly sensitive to friction, heat and shock and is mainly used as a trigger for other explosives in percussion caps and detonators. Mercury(II) fulminate, or Hg(CNO) 2, is a primary explosive. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Your DM may have similar or vastly different thoughts. You just pay the cost to learn the spell but no actual crystal needs to exist. We place awesome people in awesome places across every state in the U.S. In my games a staff can be weapon and a focus (though a non-weapon focus is more versatile) and also all components with gold values are abstracted away. Focus Staff is a travel healthcare professional staffing agency. Many will not care and will let you take the simplest arrangement of objects, others like you to choose between certain equipment setups. Basically the exact rules for focus and material components are so scattered (and I've never seen two people agree 100% on every facet of it) that you had best just ask your DM what they would prefer you do. The DMG states "Unless a staff’s description says otherwise, a staff can be used as a qua rterstaff." Maybe it is only talking about magic item staffs because that is section it was in, but that is not made clear. I think this clearly indicates that focuses are not supposed to be weapons. The focus is called a "staff" or a "wooden staff", not a "quarterstaff". The 12 different types of focus are listed in the Adventuring Gear section, not the Weapons section. ![]() Inscribing a holy symbol on a shield costs 5gp, half the price of the original shield. I imagine that if you hit someone with your focus it will damage the item, possibly making it unsuitable to be a focus. This suggests that a focus is an ornate, crafted item, made from expensive materials (in other words, not just a big stick). A staff focus (both the arcane one and the druidic one) is 5gp. If a DM wants weapons and foci to break on a 1, that is up to them, but the rules do not require it.Ī quarterstaff is 2sp. A spellcasting focus cannot replace a material component that serves a specific purpose for the spell (as indicated by monetary cost). Most primary spellcasters have a focus they have learned to use as a tool to bypass the material requirement by manipulating the weave in the same way. Some spells require materials in order to cause this resonance. Spells are a combination of sounds, gestures, and materials that resonate with the weave in order to produce a magical phenomena. That is not really the way an arcane focus works, and not really what this thread is about. You can always use the Quarterstaff as a backup focus if things do go wrong. Would you rather lose the replaceable crystal? Or your only means of defense when your magic runs out? Taking the Quarterstaff as a weapon and then adding the crystal orb focus to that staff is a better idea, in my opinion, rather than making the actual staff your focus. If you critically missed, for example, your sadistic DM could decide that the magic rebounds. You could focus it all into your hand(s) but that's risky. The original idea was that you needed to focus your magic into an object to then power a spell. ![]() ![]() However, it is expected to cost more than other VPN services.

The application also doesn’t support gaming consoles, and it limits the number of devices you can connect at one time. This feature is great for added privacy, but you should note that Mozilla VPN doesn’t support gaming consoles. You can also choose your exit server location. You can double your connections when you use the multihop button. With other VPNs, you can only connect two at a time. With Mozilla VPN, you can connect up to 5 devices simultaneously. It has many advantages, but it’s important to note that many free VPN services don’t offer the advanced security that Mozilla VPN does. Although you can’t get a free trial, the service states that it is dedicated to protecting your privacy. The app also features a great customer support center that’s available 24/7. The Mozilla VPN app is easy to use, with a user-friendly interface that makes setting up your VPN a snap. If you’re serious about privacy, though, this service may be worth paying for.

This new service promises exceptional security and privacy for a price. Mozilla VPN is one of the most widely anticipated products in the VPN industry. What Do You Exactly Get With Mozilla VPN? As such, it might be best to stick to a service that has a no-logs policy. The company is transparent about the way it collects and stores your data, but is unclear about how long it keeps network activity logs. For example, it relies on a network of Mullvad servers, which has a strict no-log policy. While Mozilla VPN offers excellent security, it lacks some features that other VPNs have. Despite its privacy-friendly reputation, Mozilla VPN uses WireGuard and Mullvad servers to maintain your privacy. It also stores your IP address, device type, operating system, hardware configuration, and connection times. This data includes your name, email address, and payment details. Mozilla VPN also stores data for marketing and account purposes. Although the company claims that they never log browsing data, this isn’t always the case. The company relies on Mullvad servers located in over 30 countries to provide its VPN service.Ī major concern with most VPN services is whether they will log your browsing history. Most VPNs only allow one connection, so using this VPN will keep your information private from prying eyes. Additionally, Mozilla VPN allows up to five devices to connect simultaneously.

To finish opening up the frog’s body cavity, therefore, exposing the abdominal region, use the forceps to hold the muscle flaps while separating the muscle from the tissues below with a scalpel. Step Six: Create a Power Point You will be assigned a group of three students. Look under each step for more detailed instructions. Next, using the scissors, make horizontal incisions through the muscle between both the front legs and above the back legs. The following is a brief overview of the steps you will need to take to complete this Web Quest. Step 11: Make the Second Muscle Incisions When your scissors reach a point just below the frog’s neck you have cut far enough. This should prevent damage to the heart or other internal organs. The internal systems covered are the Digestive, Respiratory, Circulatory. Internal Anatomy This includes cutting and pinning simulations. Then it goes through the skin, head, cloaca, and legs. When you reach a point just below the front legs, turn the scissors blades sideways to cut through the bones in the chest. This Virtual Frog Dissection Lab covers: External Parts Including a general orientation which includes terms like dorsal and ventral. Using the scissors, carefully continue the incision up the midline of the frog, but do not cut too deeply as to damage the organs. Next, use the scalpel to start the incision in the direction of the chin. Now that the skin has been removed, begin the abdominal muscle incision by using the forceps to lift the muscle midway between the rear legs of the frog. This section will describe the procedures for making the incisions through the frog’s abdominal muscles. Once the skin flaps have been cut pin them to the dissection tray using several pins. To do this, pick up the flap of skin with the forceps, and use a scalpel to help separate the skin from the muscle below. Once you have finished the incisions between the front and rear legs of the frog you need to separate the skin flaps from the muscle below. Still using the scissors, make horizontal incisions just above the rear legs and between the front legs of the frog.
