ROCK ISLAND, Illinois – The search for Rock Island County's new administrator will go into high gear after the New Year, three months after Dave Ross left the job to go to Florida.
Ross was Rock Island County's first county administrator, becoming the first professional manager to handle the multi-million dollar government operation.
"We learned a lot from our first County Administrator and I hope we apply those lessons moving forward," said County Board member Kai Swanson.
The County is using the same Chicago-based consulting firm to find a new Administrator.
The planned time line could mean a replacement will be hired by April.
"It was a difficult decision to pick the right candidate," County Board member Drue Mielke said about the process used when Ross was hired.
"Maybe there were several right candidates, and we're going to do that again," he said. "That worked in our favor, that was the right decision, it is the right decision to do it again."
"If we learned a lesson from the past maybe we compensate them a little more to hang onto them a little bit longer," added Swanson. "Maybe we treat them a little bit better and listen to their ideas."
Ross' base salary was $135,000.
County Board Chairman Ken Maranda says the exact amount his successor will get paid has not been set in stone.
But County Board members say the position is now crucial to making sure county operations, and its finances, remain stable.
"The only reason we've come in with, what is it, $56 in the black, I think out of the entire budget this year, is because we had a professional sharpening the pencil 24/7," said Swanson.
A representative from the head hunting company met with county workers in mid-December 2017 to get a better idea of who they want to fill the position.
Ross was one of 40 candidates for the Rock Island County job when the last selection process began in 2015.
Ross is now City Manager in Stuart, Florida after coming to Rock Island County from Mt. Horeb, Wisconsin.

Abstract: Standard 3D reconstruction pipelines assume stationary world, therefore suffer from `ghost artifacts' whenever dynamic objects are present in the scene. Recent approaches has started tackling this issue, however, they typically either only discard dynamic information, represent it using bounding boxes or per-frame depth or rely on approaches that are inherently slow and not suitable to online settings.
We propose an end-to-end system for live reconstruction of large-scale outdoor dynamic environments. We leverage recent advances in computationally efficient data-driven approaches for 6-DoF object pose estimation to segment the scene into objects and stationary `background'. This allows us to represent the scene using a time-dependent (dynamic) map, in which each object is explicitly represented as a separate instance and reconstructed in its own volume. For each time step, our dynamic map maintains a relative pose of each volume with respect to the stationary background. Our system operates in incremental manner which is essential for on-line reconstruction, handles large-scale environments with objects at large distances and runs in (near) real-time. We demonstrate the efficacy of our approach on the KITTI dataset, and provide qualitative and quantitative results showing high-quality dense 3D reconstructions of a number of dynamic scenes.

The Great Data Protection Misnomer
Remember when data protection products were called backup software? Somewhere along the product marketing timeline, someone decided it would be a good idea to change "backup software" to "data protection."
This play on words has led to a lot of confusion, with organizations thinking that their so-called data protection software would be able to restore critical systems after a ransomware attack. Instead, they discover that not only did the ransomware encrypt their servers; it ruined their ability to recover from their backups and even destroyed the very data protection software used to create their backups.
The evidence exists in the city of Atlanta, Georgia, the Erie County Medical Center in New York State, the recent Baltimore ransomware attack and countless others that never made headline news.
A Horse Of A Different Color
Labeling a backup product as data protection may have worked years ago, but in today's cyberattack-riddled world, this description no longer works or fits for the majority of backup products that continue to go by data protection.
When organizations attempt to recover following a ransomware attack and discover that their backups have been compromised and their backup software has been destroyed, many questions get directed to their data protection product representatives. "You're providing data protection, so there must be some kind of security built in, right? What kind of protection have you actually provided for our data? So, you provide zero protection and only perform a backup, per the traditional definition of the word?"
These questions are just a few examples of an inquisition that comes after an organization is rendered helpless in its data recovery efforts following a ransomware attack. Imagine the surprise of a CIO when questioning his data protection solution provider about how this could have happened to a data protection product.
The marketing term "data protection" means something entirely different from the literal meaning of the words, and in fact, it really only provides data backup software after all. So, do not get caught thinking your backup software actually provides data protection when faced with something as destructive as an advanced persistent threat (APT) like ransomware.
Layers Provide Protection
You have probably heard that there is no silver bullet, or in other words, a single security product that can protect an organization from all cyberattacks. However, transformation is happening within companies and products through partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, and innovation, bolstering enterprise security. And so the bullets are getting stronger.
The cybersecurity challenge is a continual power-shifting game where, at any point in time, one side will have the advantage over the other until technological adjustments are made that shift power to the opposing side. But these days, the only way to have true data protection is through the implementation of layers of cybersecurity countermeasures, processes and procedures implemented within an enterprise.
And if you want true data protection, then you must take steps to actually protect the organization's last line of defense when faced with a disaster: the enterprise backups themselves. Not taking steps to protect your backups is like playing Russian roulette (pun intended).
Bad Habits Can Negatively Affect Your Enterprise Health
The security and ultimate recoverability of the enterprise falls on the organization's shoulders, and procedural changes are a must if you are ever going to turn to your backups to recover from a cyber disaster. Start with training users about things like social engineering or phishing, as well as voicemail phishing scams known as "vishing," since these scams are a primary technique the bad guys use to find their way into your organization.
Bad habits can cause bad things to happen, and when users are trained about the hazards of clicking on suspicious emails and links, the bad habit will become less likely. Make patching, updating and upgrading systems an urgent matter. The bad guys target systems with known vulnerabilities that have not been patched or updated. Do not allow complacency to impact your organization. Patch everything from operating systems to applications in a timely and consistent manner to prevent being taken advantage of because of something that could have been avoided.
Standard Operating Procedure For Disaster Recoverability
Review your backup and data protection solution to ensure it's providing your enterprise with security countermeasures and can also protect itself, as well as the backups it produces. Some products even back themselves up, so you can rest easier knowing that your schedules, scripts and configuration data have not been lost and you can bounce right back if they've been targeted.
Test your backups regularly and audit them often to ensure the last line of defense is there for your organization when you need it most. Your enterprise environment is constantly changing with temporary and production workloads, and not setting a process for testing your backups to make sure they're matching your ever-changing environment is a recipe for disaster.
Additionally, don't just store backups in one place on-premise and look to the cloud for a heightened security posture and much deeper cybersecurity countermeasures and even service-level agreements (SLAs) to meet your organization's needs. These days, the cloud offers disaster recoverability with cross-region and cross-account attributes, adding layers of security and additional data protection and replication to match the most demanding of requirements.
If recovery point objective (RPO) and recovery time objective (RTO) capabilities are paramount, then look into a native-cloud backup engine that will outperform traditional, legacy data center backup products with scorching fast recovery times and elastic multiplicity of recovery points that can exist on a global regional scale -- something most organizations didn't have the luxury of easily implementing and having at their disposal years ago.

Noting the sharp increase in the use of opioids across the country, even among pregnant women, a new guide highlights the benefits of a coordinated, multisystem approach to providing services to address this emerging epidemic within this vulnerable population. The guide outlines a variety of causes of opioid misuse and dependence, as well as its effects: an increase in child welfare caseloads created by the number of infants and young children entering foster care, in addition to hospital reports of infants born with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS). NAS is defined as the pattern of effects associated with opioid withdrawal in newborns.
The guide presents specific information on the treatment of pregnant women with opioid use disorders, approaches implemented by organizations across multiple disciplines, a framework to organize these approaches in communities, and a practice guide for community planning.
The authors note that a collaborative approach, while showing promising results where implemented, can be challenging to establish for reasons such as competing priorities, unmet training needs, use of different terminologies, limits on time and resources, information gaps, and more. To counter some of these challenges, the guide provides a list of questions to ask when establishing joint planning, as well as a description of a collaborative team, including a steering committee, a core team, and work groups.
The guide was developed by the National Center on Substance Abuse and Child Welfare for the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and the Administration for Children and Families of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
A Collaborative Approach to the Treatment of Pregnant Women With Opioid Use Disorders is available at https://ncsacw.samhsa.gov/resources/opioid-use-disorders-and-medication-assisted-treatment/default.aspx.
The National Center on Substance Abuse and Child Welfare announced the 2017 Policy Academy: Improving Outcomes for Pregnant and Postpartum Women With Opioid Use Disorders, and Their Infants and Families, which will be held February 7–8, 2017, in Baltimore, MD. Applications for participation in the Policy Academy are due Friday, November 4, 2016, at 5:00 p.m., PDT. For questions about this opportunity or the application process, please contact Amanda Kellerman at akellerman@cffutures.org or 714.505.3525.

Twins Vs. Athletics: Cole De Vries Tries Again For Win No. 1
By David Vranicar May 29, 2012, 8:28am CDT
Share All sharing options for: Twins Vs. Athletics: Cole De Vries Tries Again For Win No. 1
The Minnesota Twins will get another look at recent call-up Cole De Vries, who will try to notch his first career win Game 2 of the Twins' three-game series with the Oakland Athletics.
De Vries, who was called last week up amid a series of moves designed to bolster the Twins' maligned rotation, held his own in last Thursday's debut, but there is certainly room for improvement. The 27-year-old righty, who was 1-4 with a 4.24 ERA in the minors before getting called up, pitched 5.0 innings with four K's and three earned runs.
He'll go up against Jarrod Parker, who has been solid all season for Oakland. In six starts, Parker, a righty, is 1-2 with a 3.38 ERA. Six of the 12 runs he's given up on the season came in one start. And while every start of course counts, his ERA sans that debacle is under 2.1.
After Monday's win, the Twins are going for their second two-game winning streak of May. They are 11.0 games behind the AL Central-leading Cleveland Indians and 3.5 games behind fourth-place Kansas City.

In a move that could relieve all those having multiple Apple IDs, or a separate iCloud or MobileMe account, the Cupertino based tech giant Apple Inc. has decided to merge all the different accounts/IDs belonging to a single user into just one.
According to a MacRumors report, a pair of users reached out to Apple CEO Tim Cook himself over the matter, in response to which, the company reassured both the users over the phone that Apple was aware of the complexities originating from the multiple user IDs issue and all necessary steps were being taken to resolve it.
As of now, there is no way a user can combine his/her multiple Apple accounts into a unified ID. But, the company claims that it is currently pondering over the matter, and will come up with a solution pretty soon.
The iPhone maker also urged users to stick to just one account until an effective solution is found, and make all purchases from that account only.
The issue was raised by TUAW almost a couple of months back (in July), and the answer was not particularly satisfactory back then.
"Most of the users suffering from the multiple ID issue "have already contacted Apple, only to be given the same answer without exception: Apple will not consolidate Apple ID accounts," the TUAW report dated July 17, 2011 read.


The hotel itself was smaller than I expected. It was located on a very busy street, and nothing was nearby ie convenience store, or courtyard. One rather nice restaurant was very close, and we ate dinner there twice. On the plus side, it was very close to Red Square, and the Kremlin, St. Basil's Cathedral, other nearby attractions.
the service was very good. it was a pleasure to be hosted at your hotel. the hosts were vary nice and friendly .always ready to give attention. we thank you for great hospitality and we hope to visit again. there was one discomfort -there wasn't a mirror in the room only in the shower,and the room was small .
We stayed for 4 days and three nights, we like its location very much, room is clean, but it is not equipped with a refrigerator and dose not have an electrical teapot as most of Europe hotels we had stayed. Reception desk people willing to help but they do not speak good enough English (Well, most of Russian people do not understand and do not speak English at all, that's the most difficult part of the trip). It has nice buffer breakfast. Near by has a underground grocery store and a very nice Russia restarter. It's still a good hotel to stay if you could understand a little Russian.
Friendly and professional service at reception.

The hair follicle drug test with extended opiate panel tests for the most frequently abused synthetic opiate drugs. The hair follicle test has a 90 day detection window and eliminates adulteration attempts. Pricing includes lab testing and results reporting.
The hair follicle drug test with extended opiate panel tests for the five most commonly abused drugs: cocaine, marijuana (THC), opiates, amphetamines, and PCP. The extended opiate panel tests for the most frequently abused synthetic opiate drugs. The hair follicle drug test with extended opiate panel is ideal for court-ordered monitoring programs such as probations and substance abuse treatment programs.
The 90-day detection window allows you to catch more drug users. When collecting a hair sample the collector cuts a small swatch of hair close to the scalp. The collector sends only the 1 1/2″ of hair that grew closest to the scalp. Because hair grows approximately a 1/2″ a month, the hair sample represents three months of growth. Because it takes only four to five days after drug use for hair to grow above the scalp, any drug use during the three months prior to the hair test will be detected with the hair test.
At this time there are no known adulterants for hair tests. Since hair tests analyze the drugs inside the hair shaft, external contaminants and chemicals have no effect on the hair test. The non-intrusive collection procedure virtually eliminates test evasion, making hair testing far more effective than urinalysis in correctly identifying drug users. Two independent studies found that hair testing detected four to eight times as many drug users as did urine testing.
The laboratory first performs a screening test using enzyme Immunoassay methodology to detect the possible presence of drugs. Non-negative specimens are re-tested using GC/MS. To rule out the possibility of external contamination and to increase the level of certainty, GC/MS testing also looks for both the parent drug and/or the drug metabolites, as appropriate for the particular drug.
Step 2 – Place hair sample in the collection kit included and prepaid laboratory mailer.

This year, the scholars went to the Dominican Republic for a week in December to help at a special needs house for children. The house is part of the program Nuestros Pequenos Hermanos (Our Little Brothers and Sisters), an international organization dedicated to helping disadvantaged children.
At the Dominican Republic night, the Dignitas Scholars showed their fellow students photos of their trip, including of them assisting in gardening projects and playing with the children. They also discussed insights the experience had given them and what they liked best about it. Many expressed how happy it made them to get to interact with the children.
In addition to their mission trip, Dignitas Scholars also receive formation in the Church's social doctrine and engage in various kinds of charitable work, including pro-life work and visiting local assisted-living facilities.

Thrashback Thursday: "Hit The Lights" By Metallica
By Ides Bergen | @ | January 15th, 2015 at 5:30 pm
I found myself the other day trying to explain to my kids the immense impact that Metallica had on the metal underground when they first burst onto the scene in 1982. That's right kids; Metallica was an underground (and cutting edge) band once upon a time. Their debut album
Kill 'Em All did exactly as it's title promised. It was a manifesto… a declaration… Metallica were about to take over the world and indeed kill 'em all.
For the next eight years, through endless touring, tragedy and triumph, and four albums that would become the very pillars upon which modern metal is built, Metallica would rule at the forefront of the metal underground. There is no way to describe to someone who wasn't there the amount of reverence that we metalheads held for this band during those years. And then came the black album and Metallica was no longer the metal world's underground darlings. But that's a story for another Thursday.
Here is the shot heard 'round the world, "Hit The Lights" the opening track of Metallica's landmark debut album Kill 'Em All.

zz = NSolve[B[g] == 0, g][[2, 1, 2]];

StreamPlot[-{Re[B[a + I b]], Im[B[a + I b]]}, {a, -2, 2}, {b, -2.2, 2.2}, Axes -> False,
StreamPoints -> {{1, 0}, {Re[zz], Im[zz] - .4}, {Re[zz], -Im[zz] + .4}, {1, .32}, {1, -.32}},
StreamScale -> None, Frame -> None, StreamStyle -> {Red, "Arrow"}, AspectRatio -> .8, PerformanceGoal -> "Quality", ImageSize -> Large]

and the result is
As you can see this has the problem that the streamlines are not always smooth (especially when they are turning a lot). How can I make it so that they are smoother?

Started the restructuration project for the terminal at Falcone e Borsellino airport
Opened this morning the works for the terminal at the Falcone and Borsellino airport, in the presence of Infrastructure Minister Danilo Toninelli.
This is the first operational phase of the overall project of almost 72 million euros to carry out these two important works. The investment for the first lot is around 48 million, all Gesap funds, the airport management company.
The interventions will concern: the adaptation to the anti-seismic legislation; the architectural renovation of the passenger terminal; the construction of electrical, water, mechanical, special, fire and photovoltaic systems; ancillary works, such as pedestrian ramps, pontoons connecting to the aircraft apron, to guarantee the full functionality of the building in the final set-up; homogeneity from an architectural point of view, both for exteriors and interiors; increase in the number of boarding gates, security gates and check-in desks.
The rooms for passengers and passengers with reduced mobility will be reconfigured; new offices will be created for the entities that are based at the airport, for the handlers and the ticket office. The room for the return of baggage will be modernized, as well as the Shengen arrival area and extra Shengen boarding. Single front for security gates, which will go from 14 to 18. On a single front also the check-in desks, which will increase by 9 units: from 35 to 44, while the gates will pass from 14 to 16. New restaurants, local terrace and vip lounge. The intervention will have a positive impact on the commercial area, which will grow by 42%: retail areas will increase from 10 to 19 and food & amp; beverage
from six to ten. The development of commercial areas will bring benefits in terms of revenue of at least 5 million euros a year. At the end of the intervention the total area of the terminal will increase by 21%.
The total area will in fact increase from the current 37,264 square meters to 44,977 at the end of the intervention, while the commercial surface will increase from 2,890 to 4,100 square meters.
The passenger terminal will be extended both to the sea (land side) and to the aircraft apron (air side). A forepart and a photovoltaic system of over two thousand square meters will be built that will produce 487 kWh.
The color contrasts, the graphic concept, the interior design that will be part of the terminal renovation project will take inspiration from the natural features of Sicily: the sun, the sea and the Arab-Norman architecture of the Palermo urban fabric, as well as the liveliness of the folklore of the historic markets of Palermo.
The interventions will be punctual and widespread and will involve the entire airport, involving at the same time different areas in the different floors, without ever investing entire functional areas. The planned works, in fact, will be carried out according to a precise temporal scan, with the aim of keeping the terminal constantly in operation and of containing as much as possible any inconveniences. In fact, Gesap will prepare an adequate communication plan (signage and notices) to better guide passengers.

Amul reminisces Lamhe spent with Sridevi
Created: Feb 26, 2018 - 8:19 pm IST
The news of the sudden demise of Sridevi has made headlines for to days now. From her untimely death to actors reminiscing about working with her, there have been so many articles about Sridevi. With the entire atmosphere revolving around Sridevi, the brand Amul too decided to pay a tribute in their own style.
Sridevi was not just considered to be the first female superstar but also a legend. The actress, despite a comeback after more than a decade, continued to rule the box office with her unique films. On the other hand, Amul posters are known for its unique nature and also for their topical elements.
With many actors speaking about the good-natured actress and her unexpected passing away, Amul too decided to share its condolence by featuring Sridevi in their tribute ad. Furthermore, the ad took us back in time recalling some of her most popular roles.
The Amul caricatures feature the different avatars portrayed by the actress which includes films like Nagina [in which she played the ichhadari naagin], Mr. India [from the song Hawa Hawaai], Khuda Gawah [as the Afghani Benazir], Sadma [as a patient of retrograde amnesia]. Amongst her recent performances, the poster features her avatar from her last release Mom.
For the uninitiated, Sridevi allegedly died in Dubai on Saturday. Recent reports state that the death is due to drowning, They are also claiming that there have been traces of alcohol found in the body.

Article, Inspiring
After Nearly 60 Years Of Living In A Mud Hut, This Serbian Woman REFUSED A $900,000 Inheritance…And Instead Did THIS With The Fortune!
Her name is Marija, and she has been living in a small hut for the past 60 years. At 86 years of age, she doesn't need much to survive. She relies on the kindness of extended family who bring her food, water, and wood to burn and keep warm, but she doesn't plan on changing her lifestyle anytime soon.
In 1956, Marija left with her husband to make a better life in Australia. He worked as a carpenter and was making a rather comfortable life for the couple, but when Marija found out that her mother had grown ill, she returned to Serbia to care for her, leaving her husband behind. She never returned to Australia.
She kept in touch with her husband through letters for many years, and he sent her money to help her get by. Several years before his death, they lost touch and were not able to communicate as often, and once Marija heard rumors of his death, she tasked a neighbor to find out more.
When it was all finally sorted out, it came to light that her husband had bought property that hard turned a huge profit (nearly $5 million) and was all to be handed over to Marija.
But after living nearly her entire life in a small cabin in the woods on roughly $70 per month…
She decided, instead, to give the money to the people in her village who have helped her to survive over the years.
Where I am going soon I do not need money, so I gave it away. They need it more."
The community is responsible for helping her to survive all of these years on her own. The community should benefit from all of their hard work.
While no one has the real story of why she left to live alone in Serbia long after her mother died, we do know that her husband was planning to return to Serbia to live with her once more after he retired.
Unfortunately, he passed away before he was able to fulfill that dream. What a generous woman – to give it all back to the village that helped her when she needed it the most!

Петър Стефанов Стоянов е български юрист, адвокат по професия, политик и 2-ри президент на Република България, между 22 януари 1997 и 22 януари 2002 г. Владее свободно немски език и английски език.

Биография

Произход и образование
Петър Стоянов е роден е на 25 май 1952 г. в Пловдив, България в семейството на Стоянка Стоянова (23 февруари 1928 – 24 февруари 2015) и Стефан Стоянов (23 декември 1920 – 22 май 2009). Потомък е по бащина линия на род от родопското село Манастир.

През 1976 г. завършва Юридическия факултет на Софийския университет "Св. Климент Охридски".

През 1990 г. става говорител на Съюза на демократичните сили (СДС) в Пловдив, а през 1992 г. поема длъжността на заместник-министър на правосъдието в кабинета на СДС, оглавяван от Филип Димитров.

Избран за председател на Юридическия съвет на СДС през май 1993 г. През 1994 г. е избран за депутат в XXXVII народно събрание. През същата година става заместник-председател на парламентарната група на СДС и заместник-председател на Комисията за младежта, спорта и туризма.

През 1995 г. е избран за заместник-председател на СДС, отговарящ за вътрешната политика и е на този пост до 1996 г, когато става президент. От 2005 до 2007 е председател на СДС.

Президентски и вицепрезидентски избори, 1996 г.

На 1 юни 1996 г. печели предварителните избори за президент с 66% от 870 000 гласа и е издигнат за кандидат за президент от Обединените демократични сили (ОДС). Той е първият български политик, който води предизборната си кампания освен в обичайните медии и в Интернет и е първият кандидат за държавен глава, който публично декларира, че целта на мандата му ще бъде членството на България в НАТО и Европейския съюз, определяйки го като "цивилизационен избор" на страната.

На 2 ноември 1996 г. е избран официално за президент на Република България с 2 502 517 гласа или 59,73% в екип с Тодор Кавалджиев за вицепрезидент.

Полага клетва като президент на републиката на 19 януари 1997 г. Встъпва в длъжност на 22 януари 1997 г. Той е първият български държавен глава след 1971 година, който не е бил член на комунистическата партия.

Мандат
Още в началото на своя мандат Петър Стоянов се сблъсква с най-драматичната криза в новата история на България. Повече от месец десетки хиляди протестират срещу управлението на БСП. След подаването на оставка от социалистическия премиер – Жан Виденов, председателят на БСП Георги Първанов и определеният за нов министър-председател Николай Добрев идват при държавния глава със състава на новия кабинет на БСП. Тъй като в 37-ото Народно събрания БСП има абсолютно мнозинство, с което да гласува новия кабинет на бившата Комунистическа партия, Президентът Стоянов отказва да предложи кабинета на БСП в парламента и в същия ден, на 4 февруари 1997 г. свиква Консултативен съвет за национална сигурност с представители на всички политически сили. Именно по време на този Консултативен съвет БСП са принудени да се откажат от мандата си за съставяне на нов кабинет и така с решаващата роля на новоизбрания държавен глава се слага край на политическата криза. Президентът Стоянов назначава служебен кабинет начело с тогавашния кмет на София, избран от СДС, Стефан Софиянски и насрочва нови парламентарни избори, спечелени от Съюза на демократичните сили.

По искане на президента Стоянов назначеният от него служебен кабинет подава официално молба за членство на България в НАТО. Също така Петър Стоянов играе важна роля в разрешаването на Косовската криза, като категорично подкрепя Алианса.

България започва активни преговори за присъединяване към Европейския съюз, които са ключови за последващото приемане на страната.

България ратифицира рамковата конвенция на Съвета на Европа за защита на националните малцинства и става непостоянен член на Съвета за сигурност на Организацията на обединените нации.

През 1999 г. за първи път американски президент посещава България. По покана на Стоянов Бил Клинтън прави историческо тридневно посещение между 21/23 ноември.

По време на мандата си става първият държавен глава в света, подписал закон с електронен подпис. Петър Стоянов е член на Интернет общество - България, от 21 юли 2000 г.

Оригиналът на "История славянобългарска" е върнат в манастирската библиотека на Зографския манастир на 12 януари 1998 г. по негово решение.

Кандидатура за втори президентски мандат, 2001 г. и провал
Петър Стоянов се кандидатира за втори президентски мандат през 2001 г., но губи на втория тур от Георги Първанов, въпреки че първоначалните социологически проучвания сочат в негова полза.

По време на телевизионен дебат с участието на Богомил Бонев Стоянов изважда секретна папка, в която Бонев е уличен в контакти със съмнителни лица. Водещият Иво Инджев я прочита в ефир. В разгара на споровете репликата на другия водещ на диспута Светла Петрова е "така рискувате, най-големият победител от диспута да е Георги Първанов", който не участва заради среща с избирателите. Популярното мнение е, че действията на Стоянов отблъскват много от гласоподавателите и с умереното си поведение Първанов печели гласовете на колебаещите се. Всъщност, по време на кампанията Петър Стоянов не получава пълната подкрепа от нито една политическа партия. ДПС (партията на българските етнически турци) категорично подкрепя кандидата на бившата Комунистическа партия, Георги Първанов, независимо от репресиите, на които са подложени българските турци от БКП по време на т.нар. "Възродителен процес".

Преди началото на кампанията Стоянов е подкрепен от СДС, но в хода на кампанията избирателите са разколебани от двусмислени изказвания на лидери и говорители на Съюза на демократичните сили Въпреки очакванията, че НДСВ, което малко преди това е спечелило парламентарните избори с абсолютно мнозинство, ще подкрепи Стоянов, това не се случва. По време на втория тур лидерът на движението и тогавашен премиер Симеон Сакскобургготски обявява, че няма да гласува, като се мотивира с желанието да спести на държавата разходите за необходимото пътуване до с. Баня, където е адресно регистриран и това разколебава неговите последователи и избиратели.

Така Петър Стоянов губи изборите за втори президентски мандат и това слага началото на края на Съюза на демократичните сили, подкрепян с много надежди и очаквания след падането на комунизма в България.

След 2001 г.
Петър Стоянов е водач на листите на ОДС за парламентарните избори на 25 юни 2005 г. в Пловдив и Смолян и е избран за депутат. От 1 октомври 2005 г. е председател на СДС, като на 22 май 2007 г., след поражението на партията на изборите за Европейски парламент подава оставка. Остава депутат в парламента до 14 септември 2007 г., когато по негова молба Народното събрание гласува да бъдат прекратени правомощията му като народен представител.

Членства
От 2010 година е президент на Център за глобален диалог и сътрудничество във Виена. Съпредседател е на Световния проект за справедливост във Вашингтон. Член е на Попечителския съвет на Александрийската библиотека, член на борда на Международния център за толерантност, диалог и сътрудничество между различните култури и религии "Низами", член е на фондация "Клинтън глоубъл инишиатив".

Признание и отличия
 На 17 септември 2022 г. на тържествена сесия на Столичния общински съвет е удостоен със званието Почетен гражданин на София.

Семейство
Петър Стоянов е женен за Антонина Стоянова, бивш дипломат, работи в Световната организация за интелектуална собственост в Женева. Те имат син Стефан (р. 1979) и дъщеря Теофана (р. 1990). Братът на Петър Стоянов, Емил Стоянов е избран през 2009 г. за евродепутат от партията ГЕРБ.

Q: cmd works but C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe does not I am trying to invoke one executable by putting following line on command prompt. (I know I can directly invoke the exe but let's just say I have no other way to do this due to some restriction)
"cmd /C" "C:\\Program Files\ABC\xyz.exe" -register="abc"

itself It is successfully run. /C is parameter to cmd.exe. But when I do this
"C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C" "C:\\Program Files\ABC\xyz.exe" -register="abc"

Gives me error
The directory name is invalid

Any idea why? And how can I solve this problem? I have to use full path of cmd.exe.

A: Try this instead:
"C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe" /C " "C:\\Program Files\ABC\xyz.exe" -register="abc" "

For example:
"C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe" /C " echo "Hello World" "
"C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe" /C " python -c " print 'Hello World' "

These work without any problem and both of them output "Hello World"

A: As stated by Stephan, the correct way of writing it is some of the following options
"C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe" /C ....
"%comspec%" /c ....

The question is Why "cmd /c" .... works? It works for the way the parser is interpreting the line.
When the line is readed and parsed, "cmd /c" is converted to
execute the command interpreter with the /c" ... arguments

So it is executed as
%comspec% /c ".....

This substitution can be easily tested
set "ComSpec=c:\windows\system32\calc.exe"
"cmd /c" echo hello

A: Strange it seems :/
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C " "C:\\Program Files\ABC\xyz.exe" -register="abc" "

This works. Don't know why.  May be the double quotes before and after "C:\\Program Files\ABC\xyz.exe" -register="abc" are required. Wish if someone will explain that.

A: "C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C"

looks for a file named C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C.
Have you ever seen a file with the extension .exe /c?
Correct format is:
"C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe" /C

A: Regarding the additional question of why the extra quotes are needed: this is described in the help returned by cmd /?, specifically

If /C or /K is specified, then the remainder of the command line after
  the switch is processed as a command line, where the following logic is
  used to process quote (") characters:
1.  [Special case, not relevant here]

2.  Otherwise, old behavior is to see if the first character is
    a quote character and if so, strip the leading character and
    remove the last quote character on the command line, preserving
    any text after the last quote character.

So, if the first (non-whitespace) character of the command is a quote, you need an extra pair of quotes around the entire command.

Additional note: combining MC ND's answer with mine, the first command line in the question is being interpreted like this: we start with
"cmd /C" "C:\\Program Files\ABC\xyz.exe" -register="abc"

which becomes
%ComSpec% /C" "C:\\Program Files\ABC\xyz.exe" -register="abc"

due to the rule that replaces cmd -> %ComSpec% combined with the bug/feature that discards the extra quote mark; this then becomes
"C:\\Program Files\ABC\xyz.exe" -register="abc

because of the rule that removes the first and last quote marks when processing /C.
The Win32 file system rules discard the extra backslash, so the executable launched is
C:\Program Files\ABC\xyz.exe

and the executable is presumably ignoring the missing close-quote in its argument.


Caribbean Queen has a remarkably mediocre verse relative to the chorus.
Really? I think it's an adequately catchy verse in a rather ordinary song.
If we're talking great BO, it has to be "Red Light Spells Danger", super tune and insanely great vocal.
I love that tune and it's the best thing he has ever done. It has the feel of a much earlier 60s motown tune. Utterly brilliant.
I love the "phasing" on the vocals, sounds great with headphones. And correct about the Motown thing. I've seen Billy getting short shrift on here but that is a top notch tune in every department.
Can't fault that track it's all killer!
Don't think I had heard this before. Good stuff.
The local classic rawk station just played Crazy Train followed by some crappy Phil Collins song (are there any other kind?) and I thought DJ Heston's in the House!
Surely you can't be denying Crazy Train?
There's your problem right there. You can touch that dial.
No but to follow it up with such a crap SRP song, WTF. Although commercial stations in this country are all auto programmed so the DJ has little to no input.
As an old Sabbath fan who felt let down by Never Say Die I was pretty excited by the first Ozzy album. I remember hearing an early demo, I think of Crazy Train and another song on the radio probably a year before the album came out and being pretty excited.
I got the train up to Newcastle to see him on the tour for the first album but it was sold out, I remember being really disappointed as I expected there to be tickets on the door.
Is it a wrong opinion to very much enjoy the Bono/Edge penned Roy Orbison tune "She's a Mystery to Me"? Of the comeback hits, I think it's a bit less of a rehash than "You Got It."
Now I love "You Got It", it has one of those orgasmic vocal parts after the "do do do do do" bits.
Mystery is a bit plodding in comparison.
I agree, You Got It is a classic.

Proceedings of the workshop on The EU's current role in GRECO and ambitions for the future: How to move towards full membership
Studie 30-06-2021
The Council of Europe (CoE) has been playing a crucial role in the promotion of human rights, democracy and the rule of law for more than 70 years. The fight against corruption is essential for maintaining the rule of law. Corruption undermines the functioning of the state and public authorities at all levels and is a key enabler of organised crime. Effective anti-corruption frameworks, transparency and integrity in the exercise of state power can strengthen legal systems and trust in public authorities ...

Support for democracy through EU external policy: New tools for growing challenges
The crisis of democracy and the rise of authoritarianism across the globe, compounded by the coronavirus pandemic, highlight the importance of taking a more strategic and autonomous approach to supporting democracy worldwide – an objective often balanced against other external policy aims until now.

Q: does SSLVPN make your http request encrypted? As a logically I know the answer but I couldn't find any resource on google to clarify my confusing.
I know when you connect to a VPN all your requests is going to VPN through ISP's and routers.
My goal is make the all requests and responses which is incoming or outgoing from my computer must be encrypted with SSL.
That will protect my data from ISP's or any MITM attacks or any dns / tcp sniffing.
When I request any content from http://www.example.com it is not encrypted if I use direct internet and if there is MITM then all my data will captured by the attacker, or with tor, if exit node is capturing the tcp data again my privacy will broke.
So if I use an anonymous tor + ssl vpn or just ssl vpn and if I connect to http://example.com and if there is MITM or any sniffing among the routing or in ISP's, can they see any data non-encrypted ?

A: If you connect to http://www.example.com (e.g. non-SSL) through any type of VPN (e.g. it does not matter if SSL based, IPSec, Tor...) it will only protect the connection between the VPN endpoints, e.g. your computer and the other VPN endpoint somewhere on the internet. From there the connection to your final target (www.example.com) host is unprotected.  Only if the target system is the endpoint of the VPN your connection will be end-to-end protected.

New York Yankees: Too many players, not enough roster spots
Zack Martino
The New York Yankees are going to have some tough decisions to make once their injured players start returning to action.
In a turn of events that are more commonly associated with the New York Mets, the New York Yankees have been riddled with injuries in 2018.
Tommy Kahnle, Adam Warren, Aaron Hicks, Billy McKinney, Clint Frazier, Jacoby Ellsbury and CC Sabathia are all either on the disabled list or have spent some time on the shelf. However, there are two players who are currently working their way back from injuries that bring up the most questions: Brandon Drury and Greg Bird.
Bird has yet to play a single game in the regular season thus far, while Drury appeared in eight before being placed on the DL. Because of that, the Yankees needed replacements for their starting first and third basemen.
In the absence of Drury and Bird, the Bombers have looked to Miguel Andujar at the hot corner and a platoon of Tyler Austin and Neil Walker at first base.
Had all three of these players been playing poorly, it'd be an easy call to have the injured players take over when healthy. But that's not the case. While Walker has struggled, hitting just .172 with no home runs and three RBI entering Thursday, Andujar and Austin have been two of the better hitters on the team.
It seems like Andujar and Austin are getting extra base hits or driving in runs on a nightly basis, especially when it matters most. Entering play Thursday, Andujar is hitting .292 with 11 RBI and 13 extra-base hits, three of which are home runs. Austin is hitting .305 with five home runs and 16 RBI. If you're the Yankees, how can you justify taking these bats out of the lineup?
They can't. After a slow start to the season, the Yankees have begun to hit their stride. Messing with what they've got going right now doesn't make any sense.
So what should they do?
Well, Drury seems to be the closest to a return. But with the team recently calling up Gleyber Torres to seemingly be the everyday second baseman, and with Andujar at third, Drury should be coming off of the bench.
When Andujar or Torres needs a day off, Drury could fill in. Exploring a trade involving Drury could be an option as well at some point, especially if Andujar continues to produce and Torres begins flashing his sky-high potential.
The first base situation may be a bit easier. Rather than demote Austin again because he has options, the Yankees should continue the platoon idea at first but swap out Walker for Bird.
Bird is highly thought of by the team and Walker was a guy they picked up last minute who has not performed. Once Bird is ready, the Yankees should release Walker and slide Bird into his slot, allowing him and the hot-hitting Austin to patrol first base.
While Walker is playing well defensively, only committing one error at first base so far, Austin is playing just as well. Austin too has only been responsible for one error, but his bat is far superior to Walker's.
The ultimate point to be made here is that the Yankees cannot bench or demote Austin or Andujar just because Bird and Drury are returning.
With the team finally starting to look like the offensive monster that was advertised for months, they can't go and mess with the formula. They need to ease them back onto the roster and continue to go with the hot hands.

Although team leadership can be enacted in many ways, a team's formal authority structure shapes how key leadership functions are fulfilled and by whom. We analyze how specific team leadership challenges and opportunities emerge, whether the team itself or managers hold legitimate authority for four critical team functions (Hackman, 2002): (1) executing the team task, (2) monitoring and managing work processes, (3) designing the team and its context, and (4) setting overall direction for the team. It then uses the four resultant team authority structures (manager-led, self-managing, self-designing, self-governing) to synthesize relevant research and identify directions for future research.

Agriscape exhibition kicks off tomorrow in Abu Dhabi
WAM October 28, 2018
ABU DHABI, 28th October, 2018 (WAM) — The second Agriscape, the international exhibition dedicated to agricultural investments abroad, will kick off tomorrow at Rosewood Abu Dhabi under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Presidential Affairs.
The event, organised by Food Security Centre Abu Dhabi under the supervision of Mariam Hareb Almheiri, Minister of State for Food Security, will convene 53 exhibitors associated with agri-land and other agri-assets in more than 50 countries.
Commenting on the exhibition, Almheiri said, "The UAE leadership is committed to encouraging investment and enhancing food production systems to support sustainable development and bridging the nutritional gap given their far-reaching implications for the well-being of society.
"As food security is a pressing resource security challenge for the UAE, we have a keen interest in increasing agricultural efficiency through the adoption of new methods and diversifying the pattern of agricultural investment abroad. Agriscape 2018 will further solidify the UAE's position as a leading player in global food security through facilitating investment in agriculture and making the country a global agro-food hub."
With agricultural production expected to grow to meet the increasing nutritional requirements of a growing world population over the next decade, the UAE, in collaboration with its international partners, is leading the way in encouraging agricultural investment by creating partnerships between decision makers and businesses, the Minister noted. "This will ensure sustainability of food resources in all circumstances and at all times through effective stakeholder coordination and public-private initiatives," she added.
In turn, Khalifa Al Ali, CEO of the Food Security Centre Abu Dhabi, said, "With food security at the heart of sustainable development, Agriscape demonstrates Abu Dhabi's priority in promoting enhanced food security through agricultural investment. Agriscape has already staked out a position as a world-class platform that will do much to drive innovation and investment to benefit our region and beyond. In line with our mission to strengthen our country's food security resilience, we are delighted to use this occasion to identify investment priorities with international decision makers and investors."
The event will host four ministers from the UAE, Uganda, Brazil, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Mahaffie Farmstead
Mahaffie Farmstead -- The farm was a vertically integrated operation. The owners cared for draft animals used by the stagecoach line. Feed and forage were raised onsite. They provided meals for stagecoach passengers and crew and grew, slaughtered, and preserved that food themselves. (Thu 03 Sep 2015 11:49AM, Fullsize 393KB, Map)
"... there was quite a mixture of society who needed, or wanted, to travel. Public houses, inns, taverns, hotels, wayside rests, stagecoach stops -- any of these offered similar services, but ranging greatly in quality and scope. Newly settled frontier regions were always in need of public houses."
From the diary of Emma Morley -- Autumn of 1864 [before the Mahaffie Farmstead was in operation]: "A Kansas country tavern is a great institution; do not think we shall ever forget our night at Paola.... It makes me shudder to think of it. Not only bed bugs but rats were our roommates that night. Such a hornpipe as these rats danced on the floor, around our heads, everywhere! Long tedious night -- we thought morning would never come....
"Oct 19th. Left Paola before daybreak, rode six miles, and stopped for breakfast. Asked one of the passengers ... he told us we would get the best meal here of any place in Kansas.... Found we had been rightly informed. Everything was clean and palatable. Enjoyed our breakfast (Olathe Parks and Recreation, Diary)."
Stagecoach -- "The Barlow and Sanderson Stagecoach Line contracted with the Mahaffie family to provide one of the stops needed for their coaches, running between Fort Scott and Fort Leavenworth, and carrying passengers and the U.S. Mail from Independence, Missouri, all the way to Santa Fe. By 1865 and until 1869, hungry passengers took their meals in the basement of the stone farmhouse, built to serve as a kitchen and dining hall. In 1867, Lucinda, her daughters, and hired helpers might have served as many as 50 to 100 meals a day. While the passengers ate, the incoming teams of horses were switched for fresh animals (Olathe Parks and Recreation, About)."
It's doubtful that the stagecoach was originally equipped with drum brakes. (Thu 03 Sep 2015 11:39AM, Fullsize 444KB, Map)

I don't know about you, but I get in a rut sometimes (!) when it comes to what I cook. I tend to cook the same few things over and over again for a while. Then I'll switch out a recipe or two, and make those same few dishes over and over again! This recipe today is a tried and true one that I make in spurts--sometimes more than others! It's not a typical cornbread, it's a meal in itself.
Too, brown, but doesn't it look good?
There are a couple of different ways to make Mexican Cornbread, but this is how I did it today.
Sometimes I use Mexican cornbread mix, usually one Mexican and one regular. I've also used Mexi-corn or whole kernel corn in place of the cream-style corn. When our son was small, he didn't like the "red and green things" in it, so I started using the plain.
Today I used regular Jiffy cornbread mix; at home or when I can get it, I like the Corn-kits brand. You can certainly use any scratch cornbread recipe that you may have, and just add the corn to the batter.
This is very filling, and leftovers reheat well, either in the oven (wrap in foil so it doesn't dry out) or in the microwave.
Give this a try and see how you family likes it!
For more links to other recipes, see Tasty Tuesday at Forever...Wherever, or Tempt My Tummy Tuesday at Blessed with Grace.
Wow! I really like this recipe! I have some pretty big cornbread fans around here! I'll have to try it and let you know what they say! Thanks for joining us for Tasty Tuesday!
This will be a wonderful addition, at our house. I am so glad you joined us, for Tempt My Tummy Tuesday. I hope you will keep coming back!
Thanks ladies, I just found both of your recipe carnivals/swaps, I'll be back!
Remembering your post on this meal helped me make something similar tonight. My kids loved it too. I want to try your exact recipe soon.
Love it! I'm a follower now!
So glad you like the blog! I really appreciate the comments; you know how it is, sometimes you wonder if anybody "out there" is really reading what you write or if you're just posting blindly into cyber-space. Thanks again.
what size cream style corn do you use?
Hi, sorry it took so long to reply--I just use the standard size-probably about 15-16 ozs.
I've been making this for years now. I sometimes substitute the ground beef for hot sausage. I also use fresh jalapeno peppers and a tad of Cayenne Pepper depending on how hot i want it.
I haven't put the sour creme in it but, will be doing so today.
We love it with home made chili. It's a great addition especially if you don't have hot tomales.
Heading to the store now to buy my ingredients for a great meal on Halloween.
Thanks for the tip on the sour creme. Don't know why i have been leaving that out.
Hope you enjoy it--this is a favorite around my house!
