Secret Wars: Postal
Posted On Wednesday, March 25, 2015
The best way to break down what Image's newest comic on deck "Postal" is about is to take you back to the 3rd season of the best television show EVER, The Wire. Now, for folk who have never seen The Wire...kill yourself. And for everyone else with some type of common sense, then you already know that season 3 is known for "Hamsterdam." An area of the west side that Major Bunny Colvin basically gave to drug dealers where he granted them immunity from any type of arrest as long as they only sold drugs in Hamsterdam and as long as there wasn't any violence. Welp, you knew that wasn't gonna last long with a bunch of drug dealers and when a dead body shows up in Hamsterdam everything goes to hell.
That right there, is exactly what Postal is about...but with different characters and it's not set on the west side of Baltimore. This go round, the story is set in Eden, Wyoming and instead of free zones to deal drugs, this entire town is made up of fugitive criminals waiting for new identities. But while they're here, there is zero tolerance for any kind of illegal business so that no heat comes down on this slept on town. Even though the FBI knows about the town and is trying to turn somebody in the town to get a mole on the inside. You could only imagine the cast of characters that you'd have with a town full of criminals who can't do anything illegal but the two main characters are Mark and Maggie. Mark runs the town's post office and Maggie is a waitress at the town's diner. Now, just like with Hamsterdam, everything was all good in this "quiet" little town til a dead body turns up. And then everything starts to got to hell quick, fast and in a hurry. Now, what does going to hell look like in Wyoming vs. Baltimore? Let's just say there's gonna be a lot more violence then Bodie & the Barksdale crew ran into in Hamsterdam cause hell is realy coming to Eden.
I'm only two issues in but so far I dig it. I mos def think it's a dope concept, which is what got me to pick in up in the first place but what I really dig is the fact that the main character Mark has asperger's syndrome. Now, this is real close to my heart because my god son has asperger's and I think it's REAL dope that Image would tackle this subject. Throughout the comic Mark explains to you how asperger affects him on a day to day basis and what he has to do to deal with it. Image even gives a detailed definition and history of asperbeger which I thought was real dope. Another thing that's dope, is at the end of both issues you get to peep the FBI's case files on all of the characters so you get to see what crimes everyone has committed and what the FBI has on them. I've never rocked with Image Comics before but it looks like that's about to change cause they've got something real ill on their hands with Postal, for real.

2018 is expecting some major shifts in recruitment sector trends. It is extremely important for leaders to keep up with such ever-changing current. New technology is contributing towards lessening the hassle involved in sourcing a high quality candidate. But what is noticable is the involvement of human factor in the hiring process. At the end of the day technology is just a medium which cannot replace humans and the personal connections they make. Let us have a look at the prospective game changers of 2018.
Over the previous decade recruitment has adopted technological way more than ever and this will continue in 2018 as well. Artificial intelligence, futuristic software and various Apps which are available for almost every aspect of life. Our interaction with technology has undergone a radical transformation over the past decade, which is going to affect recruitment trends as well. Artificial Intelligence will significantly reduce HR budget while technology will develop ways for how to make this task more efficient. Such technology with give companies a strategic advantage in Global recruitment outsourcing.
According to the LinkedIn 'Global Recruiting Trends' survey, diversity is going to be one of the top four trends that is going to play an important role in the way work industry functions. As per the survey, 81 percent leaders in India say that it impacts their hiring process. It will offer solutions to very specific problems encountered in the effective reach, engagement and hiring of female executives to any position. It implements diversity initiatives in functions and geographies where women are currently under-represented.
Interest in flexible work hours is significantly increasing in the largest economies of the world. Flexible shifts allows employees to come and leave the office at flexible time after completing the required hours. Employees need not spend the fixed number of hours at the work, rather their achievement lies in the completion/quality of their work. It is a great benefit to offer the right candidate since it has proven to be a great performance booster. I also allows a candidate to bring a work-life integrity instead of age old cliche of work-life balance.
Recruitment is a social activity and cashing upon this phenomenon, social media has come forward to increase social recruitment. Millennials are using social platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn to find jobs. They are looking for jobs on their mobile from the comfort of their couch. Searching on phone has become more common over the years and all the social media recruitment platform such as Naukri.com and LinkedIn are providing Apps for the mobile phone for easier access.
Recruiting the best candidate is not the biggest challenge that managers face, it's actually retaining and developing the talent pool. Increasing trend of job hopping makes it difficult for companies to retain the worthy employees. To overcome this hurdle they must need to develop few strategies which benefits employees and makes them stay in the job for a longer period of time. Use of psychology improves interpersonal relationships between the company and employee. In such a way employees feel like a part of the family rather than just a paid worker.

Security Analytics: Moving From Collecting Threat Data and Continuous Monitoring into Security Action
Wednesday, January 22, 2014 at 1:00 PM EST (2014-01-22 18:00:00 UTC)
John Pescatore
Advanced Targeted Threats are driving enterprises to collect more threat data and to move to continuous monitoring of IT systems to more quickly detect and mitigate vulnerabilities. This results in an order magnitude increase in the amount of data being collected in the name of security. There's been a lot of hype about "big data" as the answer to all security problems. The reality is big data tools will play a role, but security analytics is where the advances are needed - just as business intelligence analytics was required to turn big data into business value.
This SANS webinar will detail what it takes to deploy meaningful security analytics, summarize the results of a recent SANS Security Analytics Survey, and show how security analytics fits in to the Critical Security Controls. Attend and take away ready to use guidance for increasing security in 2014 and get a preview of more detailed content that will be presented at the SANS Cyber Threat Intelligence Summit being held in Arlington, VA, February 10-11.
Take advantage of the special bundled discount for all attendees! This offer reduces the Summit registration fee from $1,495 to $495 when purchased in conjunction with a full price course, a savings of $1,000.

John Pescatore joined SANS as director of emerging technologies in January 2013, bringing with him over 35 years of experience in computer, network and information security. Prior to SANS, he was Gartner's lead security analyst for more than 13 years, working with Global 5000 corporations, government agencies and major technology and service providers. In 2008, John was named one of the top 15 most influential people in security and has frequently testified before Congress on issues relating to cybersecurity.

Q: How add unique text and textfield to the div I just created?

    <title>Javascript Create Div Element Dynamically</title>

        Click this button to create div element dynamically:
        <input id="btn1" type="button" value="create div" onClick="createDiv();" />

I managed to create 6 div with different image property in each div.
I wanted to add table inside each of my divtag also to place it beside my images, but I realise I cannot just append Table beside the image. how can add table inside
I want to add text and textbox in table too.
My table is like that

Name:
<input type="text">

Title:
<input type="text">

Contact:
<input type="text">

A: *

*There are various ways to position objects next to each other.
Just one example, $(yourNewObj).find('*').css({"float":"left"});

*To dynamically create new elements, you can do something like exampled below:
$myTable = $("
").attr({"id":"foo","class":"bar"}).css({"display":"block","width":"30%","float":"left"});
$firstTR = $myTable.append("
");
/* ... */
$myTable.append($firstTR);
/* ... */
yournewObj.append($myTable);

A: My advice here would be to read into some of the methods jQuery provides – it will make much of what you're doing easier. For instance, you can create your
s with code like this:
$('#newdiv').append('

');`

After you've created it, you can append your table HTML in the same way.
$('#newdiv').find('#div'+i).append('

'+
    'Name:	'+
    '<input type="text">	'+
  '

'+
    'Title:	'+
    '<input type="text">	'+
  '
'+
  '
'+
    'Contact:	'+
    '<input type="text">	'+
  '
'+
'
');

If this is for a project, and not just trying to learn how to dynamically generate things with JS, it's preferable to not generate quite so much of your view with JavaScript. It's better to specify styling in separate CSS stylesheets and, if possible, to write your HTML using templates (examples) and/or to generate it back-end.
Instead of divTag.style.margin = "0px auto"; you can simply do $('#div1').css('margin', '0px auto');. This is true for any CSS you might need to set with jQuery, but try to do it in stylesheets when you can.
You'll need to use CSS to make the table appear beside the image instead of just below it. The CSS float:left property applied to both (the image and the table) would probably do the trick.

What is SEO and what can it do for my business?
While we don't expect every business owner to understand what is SEO, we do hope that most understand that in order to be found online, you need to implement its practices.
On-page factors: These factors decide the ranking of your website and it's elements. They include technical issues, for example, 404 errors, and content factors such as the structure of your site and site text.
Off-page factors: These factors include links from other websites, social media action and other marketing activities taking place away from your website.
Stay clear of black hat SEO. If someone contacts you promising the holy grail they are either trying to pull the wool over your eyes or going to implement black hat techniques.
Black hat SEO aims to exploit loopholes in Google's algorithms, and they aim to get websites to rank higher without earning the results. A classic example of this is Keyword stuffing, another is writing content that is not relevant to the website's over all offering, but would draw in traffic. Both of these tactics can lead to websites falling off search engines, and to get back on can take months if not years of work. Don't do it you will end up paying a handsome sum to get the penalisation removed.
Here's some more compelling reasons for why you should create content and share it without charging a penny.
White hat SEO is timely and requires effort, but the hard work pays off. You need to focus on building and maintaining the best website you possibly can. That is the key goal here. Search engines will take interest in your site almost straight away if it is maintained, user friendly and the content quality is high and consistent. Pleasing customers is every search engines core mission. They aim to index the world's information to make it universally accessible to the people that want it.
Of course, making money is another goal. To do so, they have to make sure people keep using the search engine. Obviously there is some competition from search engines such as Google and Bing so they'll have to ensure they offer the best service and show people the results they are looking for.
Permanently ranking high on any search engine requires a long-term, ongoing SEO strategy. SEO encompasses every online activity, from your website development and security through to your marketing activities such as PR and social media.
So now you know "what is SEO" keep an eye out for part two that goes in more detail of how your website is found by search engine and what they do when they get there.
Is your website fully optimised?

Q: Ansible playbook does not change files, but returns success I am using ansible to disable selinux on 25 servers.
- name: disable selinux
  selinux: state=disabled

Serwers are defined in host file and I am running the playbook with
ansible-playbook -v -i hosts ansible/server-prepare.yml

The output looks like this:
GATHERING FACTS ***************************************************************
ok: [10.0.0.10]
(... other servers ...)

TASK: [prepare | disable selinux] *********************************************
changed: [10.0.0.10] => {"changed": true, "configfile": "/etc/selinux/config", "msg": "state change will take effect next reboot", "policy": "targeted", "state": "disabled"}
(... other servers ...)

However, the value in config file on host 10.0.0.10 is not changed:
# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
#     enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
#     permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
#     disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded.
SELINUX=enforcing

I am aware, that I need to reboot after the config file is changed, but the config file is not changed at all.
For all commands in playbook ansible returns success, however there is no effect.
For now, I only tried adding -v to ansible-playbook command. Do I have some other options to debug this? I am using ansible-playbook 1.9.2.

A: For testing I added:
connection: local

This caused the changes to be made to the localhost, even though ansible reported running on other ips.

A: I'm aware that this problem is solved, but still it's worth answering for future reference.
Similar situation happens when control_path variable is set in ~/.ansible.cfg to a invalid, non-unique value, eg.
control_path=%(directory)s/%%r

Ansible then gets first successful response from any host and prints it as a result for every other host, providing false positives. I guess this is due to the fact, that ansible sockets aren't unique any more.
If you need to change control path to a shorter path due to length limit, use:
control_path=%(directory)s/%%C

%%C is a hash of %%h-%%p-%%r


Christofascism (a portmanteau of Christian and fascism) is a pejorative neologism coined by Dorothee Sölle in 1970. Sölle, a Liberation theology proponent, used the term to describe her critics in the Christian church, who she characterized as totalitarian and imperialistic.
The use of the term as a pejorative label became popular in the American left in reaction to right wing politicians using the term Islamofascism.
Tom Faw Driver, Paul Tillich Professor Emeritus at Union Theological Seminary, expressed concern "that the worship of God in Christ not divide Christian from Jew, man from woman, clergy from laity, white from black, or rich from poor". To him, Christianity is in constant danger of Christofascism, stating that "[w]e fear christofascism, which we see as the political direction of all attempts to place Christ at the center of social life and history" and that "[m]uch of the churches' teaching about Christ has turned into something that is dictatorial in its heart and is preparing society for an American fascism".
Christofascism "disposed or allowed Christians, to impose themselves not only upon other religions but other cultures, and political parties which do not march under the banner of the final, normative, victorious Christ" - as Knitter describes Sölle's view.
George Hunsinger, director of the Centre for Barth Studies at Princeton Theological Seminary, regards the conception of Christofascism as being an attack, at a very sophisticated level of theological discourse, on the biblical depiction of Jesus. He equates what is viewed as Christofascism with "Jesus Christ as depicted in Scripture" and contrasts it with the "nonnormative Christology" that is offered as an alternative by some theologians, which he characterizes as extreme relativism that reduces Jesus Christ to "an object of mere personal preference and cultural location" and that he finds difficult to see as not contributing to the same problems encountered by the Christian church in Germany that were noted by theologian Karl Barth.
Douglas John Hall, Professor of Christian Theology at McGill University, relates Sölle's concept of Christofascism to Christomonism, that inevitably ends in religious triumphalism and exclusivity, noting Sölle's observation of American fundamentalist Christianity that Christomonism easily leads to Christofascism, and that violence is never far away from militant Christomonism. (Christomonism, accepts only one divine person, Jesus Christ.) He states that the over-divinized ("high") Christology of Christendom is demonstrated to be wrong by its "almost unrelieved anti-Judaism". He suggests that the best way to guard against this is for Christians not to neglect the humanity of Jesus Christ in favour of his divinity, and to remind themselves that Jesus was also a Jewish human being.
American historians and political commentators have also used the term to refer to politico-religious tendencies in American society.
Episcopal priest Carter Heyward, professor of theology at Episcopal Divinity School, uses the term to describe political and social policies that exclude nontraditional families in the name of Christianity, a practice she described as "arrogant and blasphemous."
The term caused controversy in 2007, when Melissa McEwan, a campaign blogger for then-presidential candidate John Edwards, referred to religious conservatives as "Christofascists" on her personal blog.

What does it take to lead in a time of crisis? On May 12, the Roosevelt University Women's Leadership Council invited four prominent business leaders to discuss how they are guiding their organizations through the pandemic. More than 430 people registered for the virtual event.
"I earnestly believe that women lead differently," said Roosevelt trustee and alumna Vicki Fuller (BS '79), who moderated the discussion. "Our approach is sorely needed during the worst crisis many of us have experienced in our lifetimes."
The leadership journey
During the webinar, the panelists offered insight into their paths to their current roles.
Sharon Ramalho drew on her 35 years of experience with one of the most recognized global brands as the retired senior vice president and chief people officer of McDonald's Canada. She stressed the importance of finding a mentor who can support your growth.
"Don't be afraid to ask your peers for constructive criticism," Ramalho said. "Really learn how to listen."
Panelist Melissa Bean (BA '02) is the chief executive officer of Mesirow Financial Wealth Advisors. During her three terms in the U.S. House of Representatives, she was known in Congress and the business community as the "go-to" leader for practical, nonpartisan policy.
"Being that go-to person in the office shows that your peers can rely on you," said Bean. "When others know they can rely on you, more opportunities come up."
What makes a true leader?
Angela Miller-May serves as the chief investment officer of the Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund, which serves more than 88,000 members and administers benefits of almost $1.5 billion a year. She reflected on the importance of humility and thorough preparation on her journey to the top.
"Constantly prepare yourself," Miller-May said. "No matter what the situation is, always be prepared."
Bean's advice to aspiring leaders was to think first, speak second. "Communication doesn't mean speaking all the time," she added. "It's about facilitation."
For Ramalho, successful leadership depends on more than pure logic — especially in times of crisis. "Leadership is leading with your head, your heart and your gut," she said.
"Stepping Up to Lead was a great success," said Roosevelt trustee Ann Ford, co-chair of the Council. "It addressed relevant and timely topics through engaging and experienced leaders. It also served the guiding principles of the Women's Leadership Council, most acutely that of fostering personal and professional growth."
Roosevelt's New Book Club
On June 1, the Women's Leadership Council is launching a book club to connect the Roosevelt community, discuss important topics and learn from each other. Our first book selection is Becoming by Michelle Obama.

Huang Hua Cai (Hemerocallis citrina Baroni) is cultivated in most provinces of China. Its flowers serve as a vegetable, and its dried buds and roots have medicinal value.
Citron daylily rust is an important disease; it is found in Hubei, Hunan, Shangdong and other provinces. The incidence of diseased leaves is more than 50%, often causing reductions of 10-50% yield.
The pathogen (Puccinia hemerocallidis Thuem.) infects leaf, flower and stem, which first can be seen as brown uredia which erupt through the epidermis of leaves and stems. The urediospores are ellipsoid or ovoid, brown, echinulate, 16.8-28.1 x 14-21.1 um, usually 23.4 x 17.6 um. As the season progresses, the uredia are replaced by black telia which often merge to form black long ellipsoid or short streaks. The teliospores are yellow-brown, two-celled, and short stalked, and measure 50.8 x 18.7 um.
The pathogen can overwinter as mycelium in or spores on infected plants. For latent infections, urediospores can be produced on the diseased plants in the following year. Urediospores are wind-dispersed and cause repeat infections and epidemics. The role of telia in the disease cycle is not clear.
Temperatures between 24-28C (75-82F) with relative humidity about 85% is optimal for disease development. If many daylily plants are grown together in a soil with high water content, the rust develops rapidly. In the Yangtze river region (such as Hubei province ), the rust occurs first in mid-May, developing quickly in June, and becoming epidemic by mid-June. During high temperature weather, the disease development stops. In autumn, rust may damage autumn seedlings again.
Control : use disease-resistant cultivars, use suitable cultural methods, destroy plant debris, spray triadimefon or carbendazim.

Home Sports Sports Administration Who Received U$8,000.00 advert Fee for LBA?
Who Received U$8,000.00 advert Fee for LBA?
Stakeholders of the Liberia Basketball Association, LBA, yesterday demanded to know the official of the Rufus Anderson outgoing administration who received the alleged partial payment of U$8,000.00 from Cellcom GSM.
The money, information reaching the Daily Observer says, "is part of U$15,000.00 contract Cellcom-GSM signed with the LBA for its advertisement at the Sports Commission."
On this issue, Ms. Aklayial J. Andrews, financial secretary of the Liberia Basketball Association told the Observer yesterday that she is aware of the money having been received by the outgoing administration but she could not name any LBA official that might have received it.
"I don't have any idea who received the money but I have seen receipt of the U$8,000.00 having been received by someone in the admiration," she said.
Information said the current administration's term has expired and therefore while officials are working for an election, the funds from the advertising agreement should not be paid to the administration.
Ms. Andrews said she was a signatory to the agreement with Cellcom GSM in 2013 but has never been authorized to receive funds for the association.
When contacted via on a mobile phone yesterday, LBA president Rufus Anderson initially refused to address the concerns raised and even threatened legal action against "anyone who will defame me."
"I'm the president of the LBA and so if someone is making allegations against me," he said, "I should know who the person is."
And when he was finally informed that his financial secretary has raised the issue, he noted, "The LBA has not received any money from Cellcom."
Some club presidents yesterday, who asked not to be named, said the Administration has not been transparent with the rest of the members to ensure that such an issue does not become a stumbling block to the association's advancement.
There is an apparent disagreement with club presidents and officials, headed by Anderson, who have been running the Liberia Basketball Association for the last several years.
"The current administration has not made much difference," said one club president, "and I think it is about time we bring a new leadership that can make a difference."
With such lack of confidence in Anderson's administration, it makes sense to believe that the forthcoming leadership elections will not be too close to his liking, another official told the Daily Observer.
"We are also determined to take legal action against the Administration on this money issue," another said.
Due to the unofficial time last night, contacts made to Cellcom-GSM representatives for clarification proved unsuccessful. However, Mr. Anderson has also been accused of the Administration trying to deny certain interested club presidents the chance to contest for the presidency in the forthcoming elections.
Evidently, for the Administration's financial secretary to raise an issue about who might have received funds for the association, indicates how challenging Anderson must contend with the rising tide against his leadership.
He indicated yesterday, "As president of the LBA," suggesting that he has a great deal of confidence in his role but his determination to contest the elections, with an apparent divided leadership, is clearly a recipe for disaster that may haunt his ambition.

Project Censored: FBI Dismisses Murder Plot against Occupy Leaders as NSA and Big Business Cracks Down on Dissent
#7 on Project Censored's Top 25 Stories
Reprinted from Project Censored
In October 2011, when the Occupy movement arrived in Houston, protesters were subject to local and federal surveillance, infiltration by police provocateurs, and police assault. Months later, Dave Lindorff reported for WhoWhatWhy, a document obtained in December 2012 from the Houston FBI office shows that the agency was aware of a plot to assassinate Occupy movement leaders—and did nothing about it.
The document, obtained as part of a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed by the Washington DC–based Partnership for Civil Justice Fund, reads in part:
"An identified [DELETED] as of October planned to engage in sniper attacks against protestors (sic) in Houston, Texas if deemed necessary. An identified [DELETED] had received intelligence that indicated the protesters in New York and Seattle planned similar protests in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio and Austin, Texas. [DELETED] planned to gather intelligence against the leaders of the protest groups and obtain photographs, then formulate a plan to kill the leadership via suppressed sniper rifles."
As of June 2013, Lindorff reported, the FBI knew the identity of the person(s) who planned the sniper attacks, but had not released any names. The head of the FBI's media office, Paul Bresson, explained, "The FOIA documents that you reference are redacted in several places pursuant to FOIA and privacy laws that govern the release of such information so therefore I am unable to help fill in the blanks. . . . [I]f the FBI was aware of credible and specific information involving a murder plot, law enforcement would have responded with appropriate action."
Occupy Houston activists have speculated that the wording "if deemed necessary" might indicate that the unidentified plotter was an organization, such as the police or a private security group. Documents from the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security identify Occupy as a "terrorist" activity.
The FBI has a record of orchestrating attacks on citizen organizations deemed to be threats. For example, the Church Committee hearings of the 1970s revealed that the FBI orchestrated local police attacks (in Chicago, San Francisco, and New York) on leaders of the Black Panther Party.
Alex Kane of AlterNet reported that Beau Hodai's SourceWatch report provided "an eye-opening look into how US counter-terrorism agencies monitored the Occupy movement in 2011 and 2012." Government documents, obtained by the Center for Media and Democracy and DBA Press from the National Security Agency and other government offices, revealed "a grim mosaic of 'counter-terrorism' operations" and negative attitudes toward activists and other citizens.
For instance, the largest Occupy Phoenix action took place in early December 2011, outside of meetings held there by the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). ALEC hired forty-nine active but off-duty Phoenix Police Department (PPD) officers and nine retired PPD officers to act as private security during ALEC's meetings.
The upshot, Hodai reported, is "the wholesale criminalization of tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of American citizens who have dared to voice opposition to what is increasingly viewed as the undue influence of private corporate/financial interests in the functions of public government."

ЗАО «Де́довский хлеб» — предприятие, расположенное в Дедовске, Московская область. Один из ведущих хлебопекарных производителей России, занимающий седьмое место по обороту, а на рынке Москвы — второе место (по состоянию на август 2020 года).

Ассортимент завода включает более 180 наименований продукции. В основу компании легла концепция обеспечения организма витаминами, полноценными белками и микроэлементами.

История
В 1970 году началось строительство нового хлебозавода с суточной производительностью 60-65 тонн хлебобулочных изделий. Первый батон был выпечен 20 марта. Эта дата считается Днём рождения предприятия. Производство было небольшим: на шести производственных линиях работало всего 150 человек. Скромный ассортимент не доходил и до 20 наименований. Сразу после основания предприятия продукция реализовывалась только на территории Истринского района.

В 1980 году управление предприятием перешло к Валентине Горбуновой. Отмечено, что под её руководством завод «Дедовский хлеб» был преобразован, повысилось качество продукции: люди специально приезжали из районного центра и даже из Москвы за пшеничными батонами, бородинским хлебом, куличами, вафлями и ароматными булочками. В этот период входит создание цеха отгрузки, производство вафель и кондитерских изделий. Собственная небольшая торговая сеть была развёрнута не только в Дедовске, но и в соседних населённых пунктах. В 1997 году была построена масштабная реконструкция, построен новый склад и гараж для транспорта.

В 2008 году состоялась модернизация завода, была проведена по реконструкции завода, закуплены автоматизированные производственные линии, полностью обновлён автопарк. При хлебозаводе был открыт фирменный магазин.

По состоянию на 2011 год на хлебозаводе работает более 400 сотрудников. Хотя сезонная производительность снизилась до 30-40 тонн хлеба по сравнению со старыми временами, ассортимент продукции несравнимо вырос и превысил 180 наименований.

В 2018 году ЗАО «Дедовский хлеб» стало принадлежать булочно-кондитерскому комбинату «Коломенское».

С 29 января 2020 года генеральный директор ЗАО «Дедовский хлеб» — Константин Александрович Рудаковский. По состоянию на апрель 2020 года на хлебозаводе работало 240 сотрудников, а на август 2020 года — 350 сотрудников.

Продукция
Основные виды продукции включают: основные и сортовые хлеба, сдобу, пирожные, куличи, рулеты, кексы, печенье, баранки, мармелад, пряники, вафли, тесто, сухари для панировки, муку, торты (в том числе свадебные под заказ), караваи.

Среди широкого ассортимента хлебобулочной продукции есть продукты с пищевыми волокнами — хлеб с отрубями, резаный хлеб с отрубями и йодированной солью, хлеб цельнозерновой и другие. Это хлеб «Дедовский йодированный», обогащённый витаминами и йодом, витаминизированный батончик «Истринский» и хлеб «Фитнес». Во время Великого поста популярны фруктовый постный хлеб с сухофруктами, орехами, мёдом и злаками.

Вся продукция упаковывается в пакеты или полиэтиленовую плёнку. Для централизованной доставки продукции «Дедовский хлеб» имеет собственный автотранспорт.

Награды
Продукция завода неоднократно получала награды на российских и международных выставках. В 2009 году на II Международном смотре качества хлеба и хлебобулочных изделий хлеб фруктовый постный, хлеб «Дарницкий» и плетёнка «Истринская» были отмечены золотой медалью «За высокое качество». В 2013 году золотые награды получили батон «Нарезной» и «Колосок», хлеб «Дарницкий», кондитерские изделия (вафельная продукция), а в 2014 году — сорта хлеба «Ржевский» и «Овсяный».

MIDLAND - An overnight rollover in Midland has taken the life of a 23-year-old driver.
The accident happened around 2:30 Sunday morning on Holiday Hill Road, about a half a mile south of Tom Craddick Highway.
DPS Troopers tell NewsWest 9, 23-year-old Douglas Sawyer Rutledge was driving southbound on Holiday Hill when he lost control of his 2001 Chevy pick-up and flipped.
Investigators say Rutledge was not wearing a seatbelt.

'brahmananda' nama tumi-gaura-brahma 'cala'
syama-varna jagannatha vasiyachena 'acala'
brahmananda—Brahmananda; nama tumi—your name; gaura-brahma—the Brahman of the name Gaura; cala—both of them are moving; syama-varna—of blackish hue; jagannatha—Lord Jagannatha; vasiyachena—is sitting; acala—without movement.
"Both Brahmananda and Gaurahari are moving, whereas the blackish Lord Jagannatha is sitting tight and immobile."
Brahmananda Bharati wanted to prove that there is no difference between the Supreme Lord and the jiva, while Caitanya Mahaprabhu wanted to prove that He and Brahmananda Bharati were jivas and that although the jivas are Brahman, they are many, but the Supreme Lord, the Supreme Brahman, is one. On the other hand, Brahmananda Bharati also wanted to prove that Jagannatha and Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu are one, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, but that to fulfill His mission Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu appeared to be moving whereas Lord Jagannatha appeared to be inert. Thus this jolly argument was going on. Finally, Brahmananda Bharati referred the whole matter to Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya for a final decision.

Q: Vaadin excel export with converter values I'm trying to export an Excel corresponding to a FilterTable using Vaadin TableExport. That Filtertable has some columns storing Dates and other class type elements, so I'm using setConverter function to print them as specific Strings:
filerTable.setConverter("dateColumn", dateConverter);
filerTable.setConverter("myClassColumn", myClassConverter);

dateConverter and myClassConverter are instances of some classes to print that column values as Strings.
The problem comes when I want to export the table as an Excel: That setConverter conversions are not being applied to the output file. For example, date cells are being exported as string ('42741,0080787037' instead of '06/01/17 0:11'). The code section to export the Excel file is:
ExcelExport exp = new ExcelExport(new CustomTableHolder(filerTable), "excel.xls");
exp.setRowHeaders(true);
exp.export();

Is there any way to export the table exactly as shown, having applied setConverter function?

A: Looking at the add-on sources, it seems that this feature is supported but 2 things have to happen in order for it to work:

*

*you have to use a PropertyFormatTable (nothing fancy, just a wrapper over table for this custom purpose)

*set the setUseTableFormatPropertyValue(true) on the ExcelExport
Code:
public class ExcelExportTableComponent extends VerticalLayout {

    public ExcelExportTableComponent() {
        // basic table configuration
        Table table = new PropertyFormatTable();
        BeanItemContainer<Person> itemContainer = new BeanItemContainer<>(Person.class);
        table.setContainerDataSource(itemContainer);
        table.setConverter("age", new AgeConverter());

        // add some dummy data to the table
        Random random = new Random();
        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
            itemContainer.addItem(new Person("Name " + i, "Surname " + i, random.nextInt(99) + 1));
        }

        // add components to the layout
        addComponent(table);
        addComponent(new Button("Export to excel", event -> {
            ExcelExport excelExport = new ExcelExport(table);
            excelExport.setUseTableFormatPropertyValue(true);
            excelExport.excludeCollapsedColumns();
            excelExport.setReportTitle("Demo Report");
            excelExport.export();
        }));
    }

    // basic bean for data binding
    public static class Person {
        private String name;
        private String surname;
        private int age;

        public Person(String name, String surname, int age) {
            this.name = name;
            this.surname = surname;
            this.age = age;
        }

        public String getName() {
            return name;
        }

        public void setName(String name) {
            this.name = name;
        }

        public String getSurname() {
            return surname;
        }

        public void setSurname(String surname) {
            this.surname = surname;
        }

        public int getAge() {
            return age;
        }

        public void setAge(int age) {
            this.age = age;
        }
    }

    // custom converter
    private static class AgeConverter implements Converter<String, Integer> {
        @Override
        public Integer convertToModel(String value, Class<? extends Integer> targetType, Locale locale) throws ConversionException {
            return Integer.valueOf(value.substring(0, value.indexOf(" years")));
        }

        @Override
        public String convertToPresentation(Integer value, Class<? extends String> targetType, Locale locale) throws ConversionException {
            return String.valueOf(value) + " years";
        }

        @Override
        public Class<Integer> getModelType() {
            return Integer.class;

Evidence for large-scale astrocyte death in the developing cerebellum

There is increasing evidence that some glial cells die during normal vertebrate development, but the extent of the death and the types of glial cells that die remain uncertain. We have analyzed pyknotic cells in the developing postnatal rat cerebellum. During the first postnatal week, the majority of pyknotic cells are in the developing white matter where their number peaks at about postnatal day 7 (P7) and then declines sharply. Pyknotic cells in the internal granule cell layer peak at P10, while those in the molecular and external granule cell layers peak later. Both electron microscopy and in situ end labeling of DNA catalyzed by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase confirm that the pyknotic cells are undergoing apoptosis. Immunohistochemical staining suggests that 50–70% of the pyknotic cells in the white matter and internal granule cell layer are astrocytes. We estimate that at P7, as many as 50% of the white matter cells die and, of these, more than half appear to be astrocytes.

Head Coach Tom Coughlin - 11/12
Coughlin*: Good afternoon. Not as much fun today, but you look at the tape, you see the good, you see the bad, you obviously spend more time thinking about the bad than you do the good. The only thing I'll say to you in getting started is, 17-6, ball is first and 10 at the 27, quarterback makes an excellent check, you get a full effort out of the runner, he gains 11 yards, but he gets stripped. The ball comes out. That play, and the next four offensive plays are three turnovers. There's a team that goes into the game 14 (turnover differential) against a team that was -5. That's an indication of how we played. We didn't play well enough to win. The game started out in a bizarre fashion, if you will. I chose obviously to have the ball in the second half, I deferred. I deferred for a bunch of reasons, which was: I wanted the ball in the second half. We were 52 over our opposition in the second half, and they were the team, with the exception of one game, that did not score a lot of points in the second half. The wind was a factor, especially kicking toward the tunnel that we came out of. I felt like we would drive the ball out. We didn't do that. I didn't want to defend against those returners, as little as I could. They did return that ball. Anyway, we got the ball in the second half the way we wanted it, and we had opportunities, we just didn't take advantage of them. The game started out as I said, in a bizarre fashion with the breakdown in coverage, an error in coverage. They got an easy touchdown, then the fiasco with the punt return, where we kick a ball 61 yards out of bounds, it's a great punt. The gunner goes out of bounds, determined by the official of his own volition. The penalty is there. The next punt is down the middle of the field, we miss two tackles, we don't get ourselves in position and the change in that was: they would have had the ball at the -14, instead they had it at the 11. That's kind of the way the game went. I thought if we scored a touchdown before the half and went in 17-10, we could've righted the ship. We could've gotten it right. We ended up (with a) field goal in that situation as well, which was discouraging, but nevertheless, coming out at the half, we felt, we have the ball, let's go. We always felt like we do better with our kickoff return team, because we had seen a great example the week before, they were able to run a kickoff back 105 yards. We thought we could do the same. That didn't happen. We got a little bit more out of punt return than we have had in the past. He (Rueben Randle) did a good job with that. The turnover situation, the failure to score, the easy touchdowns…They had the ball first and 10 on our 11, our 12 and our 16. On each of those occasions, it took them third down before they scored, but they scored each time on third down. We didn't stop them on third down at all. They had a high percentage on third down. Our third down percentage was a little bit better, but it wasn't great. Our first downs…we did have 21 first downs, which at least got us a little bit more of an opportunity to play-call. Very, very disappointing loss. However, you have to look at the objectives now this week. You can't do much about yesterday, but what we can do is we'll have our coaches in this afternoon, once we take care of the business at hand, the coaches will be started on our research and studying ourselves. We call it a worst-to-best. We'll look at that. We'll look at ourselves, we'll self-scout, then we'll go on to looking at some of the teams that are very good in the league in those particular situations. We have a big medical day today with our players. Today and tomorrow, they'll be visiting the hospital and getting the MRIs and whatever and the whole goal right now is to rest and to have people healthy so we can come back and be prepared to practice fully next week when we prepare for the Packers. Questions?
Q: You said that you are confused with how Eli Manning and your team is playing right now?A: Well, he's not alone. He's not alone. We have a lot of people that aren't playing as well as they're capable of playing. That's got to change, obviously.
Q: Why is that, do you think?A: I don't know. I'm not going to suggest anything. You'd have to ask me a question, so I can say "no."
Q: Do you think mental or physical fatigue is a factor?A: No. No, I don't. I'm not going there. You're a pro. That's the schedule we've been handed. You play the schedule, you do the best you can with it. The last two weeks haven't been very good. That's not saying that we're not going to benefit from the bye, don't get me wrong.
Q: How much do you need this opportunity to self-scout?A: I think we need the opportunity. We'll take full advantage of that, don't get me wrong, but we really need the opportunity to regroup, get some people as healthy as we can at this time of the year and then looking at it now, we have a six-game schedule ahead of us.
Q: How beneficial is it to have the opportunity to sit back and look at this team as a whole, when you don't get to do that on a weekly basis?A: That's part of it. I think the number one purpose of the bye, depending on when it happens, for us, right now it's to get as healthy as we can get. Rest, get as healthy as we can get, get fresh…You know, be anxious, be hungry, be rested when you come in next week so that all the details involved in preparation sink in. I really didn't have a problem with our physical practices last week. I didn't. I almost had to back them off a little bit. They did practice hard. We're just not making anything happen for ourselves that we can build momentum on. It goes the other way. You start the game off with a coverage breakdown and then you give them a punt return. We are a resilient, tough group, but we haven't been able to overcome those things the last couple weeks.
Q: How much of this problem is that defenses are showing run-friendly looks and saying, "you're not going to beat us over the top?"A: It depends on the score, obviously. Why wouldn't you? You're going to defend the pass, and that's what they did. They got up there and defended the run a little bit, but if the score is 31-6, I think you're going to defend the pass.
Q: Have you seen that the last couple weeks?A: Not necessarily. Depends on, again, what's the score? What's the circumstance? We have to be effective when people do get back there in a two-deep, and that happened a couple of weeks ago more than it did yesterday.
Q: Do you look at your overall record in November and try to find common denominators?A: I haven't.
Q: Do you have any explanation for why it has been a trend for you?A: I'm sure it's me. My standard answer for last year was, 'It didn't come out too bad.' Regardless of what it was at what time, it didn't turn out too badly. So I'll stick with that one.
Q: You don't look at those things at all?A: I look at everything, but I'm not going to offer anything about that. Every year is a different year. Every situation is a different situation. Every team is a different team. Every circumstance with regards to health and well being and so on and so forth is a different situation. I think yesterday we had one 20-yard play. We have had a lot of those around here, so maybe that's a part of it. Maybe it's been the big plays that disappeared. We got some first downs yesterday. We had 21 first downs, but we didn't get the big plays we were looking for.
Q: The fact that it didn't turn out too badly last year, is that a good thing that these guys have had the experience of getting out of a big slump or is there any danger to the fact that they might say don't worry about it, we'll get there?A: I'm hoping that's not the case. I understand what you're saying, but I think when you look at the six-game schedule, if you can't get excited about playing this six-game schedule, wow.
Q: Would you characterize Eli as being in a slump right now?A: I don't like that word.
Q: What word would you use?A: I don't have one. We've got to play better.
Q: Going back to the game in San Francisco, does he look as different to you as he appears to be to us?A: In some situations, but I don't think it was… Again, I think yesterday there were signs that he's improving. He's getting back on track. There were some signs there that were good yesterday and we've just got to build on it.
Q: What about the two ill advised passes?A: That was terrible. He'd be the first one to tell you that. That was so foolish to try to make a play there. The one guy has got his shirt… Just go down and take care of the ball and let us have another snap. Just take care of the football. I know he's always trying to make a play and he has done things under those circumstances in the past that have worked out, but the percentages are just not with you when that happens.
Q: When it happens once, that's probably bad enough. But when it happens again, were you stunned?A: That's a pretty good word. To have it happen that quickly, yes. I know how hard he's pressing to make a play. That's what he's trying to do. He's trying to make a play. He's got people covered with one guy coming into the seam. He's trying to get the ball in there, but the inverted safety just gets in position there.
Q: What are the signs he's getting back on track?A: I thought he threw the ball better and many times yesterday, he zinged it in there. Had the ball down the seam to Victor that should have been a touchdown.
Q: So his arm doesn't look tired to you.A: Not to me.
Q: Do you have to evaluate certain guys that have been on a limited practice schedule? Do you have to evaluate players like Ahmad Bradshaw?A: We've been down this road with Bradshaw many, many times. So until I'm told any different and he tells me any different, we would just plan on having him play the same percentages going forward. We did want to get David (Wilson) a little bit more, but it became a different kind of a game yesterday.
Q: Will there be any consideration to any lineup changes?A: I'll consider everything, but I don't have anything to offer now
Q: On the touchdown plays by the Bengals, how many of those are the players just aren't doing the right thing? Instead of tackling the guy at the five, Hosley goes for the interception that leads to the touchdown.A: You can stop right there. That's good enough. He's supposed to be outside-in, too. Do you want to add that one? There were people leaving their feet when they shouldn't have. They should have run through the tackles as well. That happened a number of times yesterday. Just to be in the right position to deny the score, if you just take the leverage position you're taught to be in and don't lose it, you'll be okay. Trust me, you'll be okay.
Q: It seems like there were a few players on offense that showed some encouraging signs. Are there some positives that you take from this offensively going into the bye?A: I think when a guy makes a play it is noticeable. Hakeem made some plays yesterday. There's still more that he can make, but that was a good thing and Andre carried the ball and caught the ball out of the backfield. He did a pretty good job chipping.
Q: Is the pressure on the quarterback just one of those things you're trying to figure out?A: Our quarterback got hit too much and we didn't hit theirs enough, not anywhere near enough, and you can talk about all the three-step drop business, but we've got to get home. You've got to get there. That's our game and we didn't again yesterday.
Q: Bradshaw was having x-rays yesterday. How is he?A: He'll have probably every test known to man here in the next couple of days.
Q: Is Hixon OK?A: Got an ankle.
Q: What about Kuhn?A: That's sad. That poor kid has got an ACL, I believe. I haven't seen anything really official. I shouldn't have spoken. I haven't talked to the doctors or Ronnie, but he did just walk in and I believe that's what he mentioned to Pat.

Reinhold Niebuhr and an Ethic of Humility in Deliberative Politics
Spino_umd_0117E_15083.pdf (915.5Kb)
No. of downloads: 82
Spino, Matthew Peter
Glass, James
The purpose of this dissertation is to investigate the degree to which the political psychology of Reinhold Niebuhr contributes to a more capacious theory of deliberative politics and to what degree such a theory may permit individuals to express themselves with more workable forms of democratic practice. Considerations of Reinhold Niebuhr's understanding of impermanence, anxiety, self-reflection, and empathy borne of humility guide the framework of the argument in that they inform and augment individual political preferences. The author uses these ideas to develop a theory of deliberative politics built upon the empathetic tendencies found in the self-scrutinizing humility of Reinhold Niebuhr's politics. The author considers this theory in contradistinction to ascendant strains in political theory and theologies of public life, which at times may disavowal Niebuhr's understanding of natural theology, his correspondent political realism, or otherwise miscategorize Niebuhr's political claims. The degree to which Niebuhr's ethical framework can or should be separated from Christian considerations of ethics more broadly, especially from Christian eschatology, is a major topic of discussion. Contrasting Niebuhr with other Christian ethicists permits us to see in what manner Niebuhr's political psychology might retain political value beyond a particular religious community. This work also considers limits of Niebuhr's understanding of liberal politics, and whether an ethic of humility can be overly disempowering at times. Tension between individual and aggregate political perspectives frames that discussion.

13-2 Housing Is Built With Ballots: Engaging Voters Through the Our Homes, Our Votes Campaign
Organizational Partner Spotlights
Housing and homelessness organizations across the country are working hard to make voting accessible to everyone in their communities. Here are two Our Homes, Our Votes partner organizations that play a central role in educating voters and strengthening voting rights.
This summer, the Anchorage Coalition to End Homelessness (ACEH) provided trainings to people experiencing homelessness and service providers on navigating two new voting systems in Alaska – open primaries and ranked-choice voting – which will be used to elect the state's new congressional representative. "Our goal is to aid and empower those with lived homelessness experience to use their voice and vote for systems change," says Owen Hutchinson, director of external relations for ACEH.
Group advocates at a training provided by the Anchorage Coalition to End Homelessness (ACEH)
Advocates from the Housing Network of Rhode Island joined the Rhode Island Voting Access Coalition to push for enactment of the "Let RI Vote Act," which removes barriers to voting that disproportionately affect low-income renters. By supporting the coalition's digital organizing efforts, story sharing, and providing testimony and data, they helped pass the Let RI Vote Act in the state legislature. (The act was signed into law in June.) "Housing is undeniably interconnected to voter access and engagement," says Cristin Langworthy, community engagement and government relations coordinator with the Housing Network of Rhode Island.
