text: Brooklyn Brine combines the bounty of local, organic produce with NYC's vibrant energy and unbridled creativity. Each hand-packed jar is filled with bold flavors, organically sourced ingredients, and the love and attention you only get with small, seasonal batches. Plus, with each jar of delicious pickles comes the extra gift of the intensely flavored brine. Use it just like vinegar to splash on salads, beans, lentils, or to marinate meat or tofu. Note: Although the produce, sugar, and many of the spices are organic, not every spice is certified organic, which is why we do not list this as an "organic" product.

As for dessert, well, it's practically a death trap. Classic Thanksgiving pies typically contain gluten, butter, milk, sugar, and nuts. Plus 1 in 2 Americans is pie-challenged. I know, I'm one of them.
Here's the answer to your Thanksgiving dessert dilemma: Make Nava Atlas's Apple-Pumpkin Delight from her latest cookbook, Vegan Holiday Kitchen (Sterling, November 2011). It's gluten-free, soy-free, and nut-free, so everyone will be able to enjoy it. And you won't have to make a pie crust.
A veteran vegetarian and cookbook author, Atlas has created more than 200 festive, tasty, vegan holiday recipes organized into six chapters: Thanksgiving, Christmas and the Holiday Season, Jewish Holidays, Easter, Independence Day and Summer Entertaining, and Brunches, Appetizers, and Potluck Dishes.
In her introduction, Atlas says, "Holidays can be particularly trying for vegan who aren't part of a wider circle of like-minded eaters This book is dedicated to them-- and to vegans of all stripes." Of course, be prepared for the carnivores at your table to gobble up many of these meat-free dishes.
Who could pass up autumn-inspired Coconut Butternut Squash Soup or Sweet Potato Biscuits? If you think gluten-free stuffing can't be delicious, consider Atlas's herb-laced Polenta, "Sausage," and Mushroom Stuffing or her softly spiced Wild Rice Stuffing with Dried Cranberries.
You'll find traditional holiday recipes such as Cranberry-Apple Sauce, Pumpkin Mini Loaves, and Ginger Cookies sharing space with modern dishes such as Red-Wine Roasted Brussels Sprouts, Baked Thanksgiving Risotto, and Mixed Greens with Green Apples, Beets, and Pistachios.
The book's design is clean and inviting, and Susan Voison's photos are attractive. While some recipes have longer ingredient lists, most are short, and recipe instructions are clearly written and uncomplicated. As for make-ahead recipes, Atlas notes that "most recipes just don't taste as good when they're made too far ahead of when they'll be used... Honestly, most of the recipes in this book are not so lengthy or complicated that they benefit from advance prep." Sprinkled throughout the book are useful cooking tips, entertaining suggestions, and notes about ingredients.
So whether you're looking for vegan holiday inspiration or just some new, healthy recipes, you should get yourself a copy of Nava Atlas's Vegan Holiday Kitchen.
Gluten-Free, Soy-Free, Nut-Free
Makes 8 servings
Printable recipe.
1 1/2 pounds sugar pumpkin, cushaw or any orange winter squash
2 pounds Granny Smith apples (about 3 or 4 large apples)
1/2 cup natural granulated sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/3 teaspoon ground cloves
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1. To make the pumpkin easier to peel and cut, partially pre-bake it according to the directions on page 22. When cool enough to handle, peel the pumpkin and slice it into thin pieces about 1 X 2 inches (about 1/8 -inch thick; the size matters less than the thickness). Peel the apples and slice a little thicker than the pumpkin.
2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
3. Combine the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and cornstarch in a small bowl. Oil a 2-quart casserole dish. Arrange half the pumpkin slices in the dish, and sprinkle with about 1/4 of the sugar mixture; arrange half the apple slices over the pumpkin and sprinkle with another 1/4 of the sugar mixture. Repeat the layers.
4. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for 15 minutes longer, or until a knife inserted in the center goes through easily. Serve warm or at room temperature in individual dessert cups.

The good news is Nokia is finally getting some details out about its highly touted Lumia 920, specifically carrier deals. The bad news is they are couched in exclusivity deals (we'll have more on that shortly).
Such is the case with Rogers in Canada who have announced that the Lumia 920 will be coming to the carrier with 4G LTE in November.
From their press release:
"Rogers is proud to bring the new Nokia Lumia 920 to our customers looking for the best unified experience and to further extend our leadership as the carrier with the largest LTE superphone selection in Canada," said John Boynton, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Rogers Communications. "With seamless access to entertainment, sports and business content, the Nokia Lumia 920 offers customers a world leading internet experience powered by the Rogers LTE network."
Sounds like a good deal for those on Rogers but not so great if you're on Bell or Telus who are not expected to carry that particular model number—at least not on launch. Once again, consumers will have to chose which carrier they want to be a part of and that's never a good way to get the phone into most people's hands.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers #12 Chris Godwin Red Backer Pullover Hoodie Football
The human heart is just and soft unity, hard and soft coexist so that people
have to keep valuable edges and corners, save a distinct personality, adhere to
the inner criteria, and be able to appreciate the warmth of the world to
maintain the temperature of human nature, . Only the hardness and softness,
balanced and unified personality to achieve a harmonious self-personality.
Too hard-line people tend to over-care about the realization of self-will, too abide by the self-criteria. Character is not mixed with soft hard eventually like a wall generally isolated from the normal exchanges and exchanges with others, will be cold and estrangement planted in the bottom of my heart. Hai Rui "carry coffin curse Jiajing" Ling Ran and tough, but not the slightest tenderness left to his own daughter, abide by the three syllabus and the five permanent members of the ethics, that will take the male Dingjia piece of cake the daughter of starvation. Can be seen, too hard means that I do not know the stubborn and do not understand the flexibility of numbness, and ultimately will be as double-edged sword wounding hurt himself.
But the inner too soft is not good, because too soft will make people lose the right and wrong view. When the good and the bad, good and bad things are equal treatment without discrimination, the spread of love and compassion to cheap to meaningless, blindly compromise and concessions will only promote the breeding of great evil.
From this view, too hard and soft will lead to the generation of personality shortcomings. True harmony of the self, should be the same as Jiaxuan, "Jin Ge iron horse, swallow thousands of miles as a tiger," the Jagged pride, also "see beauty head, curl Chunbao" deep tenderness should be like Lung Ying-tai, And his son Andre exchange of letters of the motherly feelings, but also angrily questioned the "Chinese people, why do not you angry," the noble spirit. We must adhere to their own standards of life and attitude, but also should have the ability to make sensitive perception of the romantic.
Liang Xiaosheng said: "to hate and abominable to dare to love to defend the lovely. With the abomination of the contest to suppress the abomination of the phenomenon, to love and lovely to defend lovely in our lives to flourish." . The necessary toughness, can hold the true love of soft; appropriate soft, can highlight the real tough. Soft and hard, though clearly different, but not poles apart, in fact, they stand side by side.
We would like to be able to pursue the hardness of softness of the sound personality, self-harvest of harmony and unity.

Yesterday's Pulaski Day Parade (10/2/2011 Philadelphia) was another event in the Month long celebration of Polish American Heritage Month. This year there is a focus on Polish Scientists and in particular, Madam Curie, whose 100th anniversary of her 2nd Nobel Prize (November 2011). Marie Sklodowska Curie was the first scientist (man or woman) to win two Nobel Science Prizes. I believe only Linus Pauling has equaled her achievement.
Stanczyk's favorite magazine, "Smithsonian" (October 2011), also has and article on this amazing scientist. Please honor the month and the woman by reading this fascinating article, "The Passion of Madame Curie".
Remember, to honor Columbus Day and any of its parades with your Polish flag. In the last year it was reported by a Portuguese researcher (Manuel Rosa) that Christopher Columbus is really a Polish son (and not Genovese). So this is new Polish Heritage we need to celebrate. This blog has a couple of articles (here is the original article).

The World Population: 7,323,187,457
« Previous Country | Next Country » Back to Flag Counter Overview
|Globally, the 20th century was marked by: (a) two devastating world wars; (b) the Great Depression of the 1930s; (c) the end of vast colonial empires; (d) rapid advances in science and technology, from the first airplane flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina (US) to the landing on the moon; (e) the Cold War between the Western alliance and the Warsaw Pact nations; (f) a sharp rise in living standards in North America, Europe, and Japan; (g) increased concerns about environmental degradation including deforestation, energy and water shortages, declining biological diversity, and air pollution; (h) the onset of the AIDS epidemic; and (i) the ultimate emergence of the US as the only world superpower. The planet's population continues to explode: from 1 billion in 1820 to 2 billion in 1930, 3 billion in 1960, 4 billion in 1974, 5 billion in 1987, 6 billion in 1999, and 7 billion in 2012. For the 21st century, the continued exponential growth in science and technology raises both hopes (e.g., advances in medicine and agriculture) and fears (e.g., development of even more lethal weapons of war).

The international financial crisis of 2008-09 led to the first downturn in global output since 1946 and presented the world with a major new challenge: determining what mix of fiscal and monetary policies to follow to restore growth and jobs, while keeping inflation and debt under control. Financial stabilization and stimulus programs that started in 2009-11, combined with lower tax revenues in 2009-10, required most countries to run large budget deficits. Treasuries issued new public debt - totaling $9.1 trillion since 2008 - to pay for the additional expenditures. To keep interest rates low, most central banks monetized that debt, injecting large sums of money into their economies - between December 2008 and December 2013 the global money supply increased by more than 35%. Governments are now faced with the difficult task of spurring current growth and employment without saddling their economies with so much debt that they sacrifice long-term growth and financial stability. When economic activity picks up, central banks will confront the difficult task of containing inflation without raising interest rates so high they snuff out further growth. Fiscal and monetary data for 2013 are currently available for 180 countries, which together account for 98.5% of world GDP. Of the 180 countries, 82 pursued unequivocally expansionary policies, boosting government spending while also expanding their money supply relatively rapidly - faster than the world average of 3.1%; 28 followed restrictive fiscal and monetary policies, reducing government spending and holding money growth to less than the 3.1% average; and the remaining 70 followed a mix of counterbalancing fiscal and monetary policies, either reducing government spending while accelerating money growth, or boosting spending while curtailing money growth. (For more information, see attached spreadsheet, Fiscal and Monetary Data, 2008-2012. ) In 2013, for many countries the drive for fiscal austerity that began in 2011 abated. While 5 out of 6 countries slowed spending in 2012, only 1 in 2 countries slowed spending in 2013. About 1 in 3 countries actually lowered the level of their expenditures. The global growth rate for government expenditures increased from 1.6% in 2012 to 5.1% in 2013, after falling from a 10.1% growth rate in 2011. On the other hand, nearly 2 out of 3 central banks tightened monetary policy in 2013, decelerating the rate of growth of their money supply, compared with only 1 out of 3 in 2012. Roughly 1 of 4 central banks actually withdrew money from circulation, an increase from 1 out of 7 in 2012. Growth of the global money supply, as measured by the narrowly defined M1, slowed from 8.7% in 2009 and 10.4% in 2010 to 5.2% in 2011, 4.6% in 2012, and 3.1% in 2013. Several notable shifts occurred in 2013. By cutting government expenditures and expanding money supplies, the US and Canada moved against the trend in the rest of the world. France reversed course completely. Rather than reducing expenditures and money as it had in 2012, it expanded both. Germany reversed its fiscal policy, sharply expanding federal spending, while continuing to grow the money supply. South Korea shifted monetary policy into high gear, while maintaining a strongly expansionary fiscal policy. Japan, however, continued to pursue austere fiscal and monetary policies. Austere economic policies have significantly affected economic performance. The global budget deficit narrowed to roughly $2.7 trillion in 2012 and $2.1 trillion in 2013, or 3.8% and 2.5% of World GDP, respectively. But growth of the world economy slipped from 5.1% in 2010 and 3.7% in 2011, to just 3.1% in 2012, and 2.9% in 2013. Countries with expansionary fiscal and monetary policies achieved significantly higher rates of growth, higher growth of tax revenues, and greater success reducing the public debt burden than those countries that chose contractionary policies. In 2013, the 82 countries that followed a pro-growth approach achieved a median GDP growth rate of 4.7%, compared to 1.7% for the 28 countries with restrictive fiscal and monetary policies, a difference of 3 percentage points. Among the 82, China grew 7.7%, Philippines 6.8%, Malaysia 4.7%, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia 3.6%, Argentina 3.5%, South Korea 2.8%, and Russia 1.3%, while among the 28, Brazil grew 2.3%, Japan 2.0%, South Africa 2.0%, Netherlands -0.8%, Croatia -1.0%, Iran -1.5%, Portugal -1.8%, Greece -3.8%, and Cyprus -8.7%. Faster GDP growth and lower unemployment rates translated into increased tax revenues and a less cumbersome debt burden. Revenues for the 82 expansionary countries grew at a median rate of 10.7%, whereas tax revenues fell at a median rate of 6.8% for the 28 countries that chose austere economic policies. Budget balances improved for about three-quarters of the 28, but, for most, debt grew faster than GDP, and the median level of their public debt as a share of GDP increased 9.1 percentage points, to 59.2%. On the other hand, budget balances deteriorated for most of the 82 pro-growth countries, but GDP growth outpaced increases in debt, and the median level of public debt as a share of GDP increased just 1.9%, to 39.8%. The world recession has suppressed inflation rates - world inflation declined 1.0 percentage point in 2012 to about 4.1% and 0.2 percentage point to 3.9% in 2013. In 2013 the median inflation rate for the 82 pro-growth countries was 1.3 percentage points higher than that for the countries that followed more austere fiscal and monetary policies. Overall, the latter countries also improved their current account balances by shedding imports; as a result, current account balances deteriorated for most of the countries that pursued pro-growth policies. Slow growth of world income continued to hold import demand in check and crude oil prices fell. Consequently, the dollar value of world trade grew just 1.3% in 2013. Beyond the current global slowdown, the world faces several long standing economic challenges. The addition of 80 million people each year to an already overcrowded globe is exacerbating the problems of pollution, waste-disposal, epidemics, water-shortages, famine, over-fishing of oceans, deforestation, desertification, and depletion of non-renewable resources. The nation-state, as a bedrock economic-political institution, is steadily losing control over international flows of people, goods, services, funds, and technology. The introduction of the euro as the common currency of much of Western Europe in January 1999, while paving the way for an integrated economic powerhouse, has created economic risks because the participating nations have varying income levels and growth rates, and hence, require a different mix of monetary and fiscal policies. Governments, especially in Western Europe, face the difficult political problem of channeling resources away from welfare programs in order to increase investment and strengthen incentives to seek employment. Because of their own internal problems and priorities, the industrialized countries are unable to devote sufficient resources to deal effectively with the poorer areas of the world, which, at least from an economic point of view, are becoming further marginalized. The terrorist attacks on the US on 11 September 2001 accentuated a growing risk to global prosperity - the diversion of resources away from capital investments to counter-terrorism programs. Despite these vexing problems, the world economy also shows great promise. Technology has made possible further advances in a wide range of fields, from agriculture, to medicine, alternative energy, metallurgy, and transportation. Improved global communications have greatly reduced the costs of international trade, helping the world gain from the international division of labor, raise living standards, and reduce income disparities among nations. Much of the resilience of the world economy in the aftermath of the financial crisis resulted from government and central bank leaders around the globe working in concert to stem the financial onslaught, knowing well the lessons of past economic failures.

DLR Executive Board Chairman Johann-Dietrich Wörner (front left), Keiji Tachikawa, President of the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) (front right), DLR Executive Board Member for Space Research and Technology Hansjörg Dittus (rear left) and Yuichi Yamaura, Associate Executive Director for Space Exploration JAXA signing the Memorandum of Understanding for cooperation in the Hayabusa-2 mission on 1 October 2012.
DLR researchers use parabolic flights to test the MASCOT asteroid lander's functions in microgravity. MASCOT is due to separate from the Japanese Hayabusa-2 spacecraft above asteroid 1999 JU 3 and fall to the surface.
DLR researchers are developing MASCOT, the Mobile Asteroid Surface Scout asteroid lander. The lander will fly to asteroid 1999 JU 3 on board the Japanese Hayabusa-2 spacecraft.
Cooperation between DLR and Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)
When the Japanese Hayabusa-2 mission is launched towards asteroid 1999 JU 3 in 2014 to collect surface samples, MASCOT – the Mobile Asteroid Surface Scout – an asteroid lander developed by the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) will be on board. On arrival at the asteroid in 2018, it will be released from the main spacecraft, land on the asteroid, automatically orient itself and 'hop' from one measurement site to the next. DLR and the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) signed a memorandum of understanding on 1 October 2012, at the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) in Naples.
Upon arrival at 1999 JU 3, the Japanese Hayabusa-2 spacecraft will first make a close approach to the asteroid and take measurements of the body's surface from there. Following this initial cartographical phase, the MASCOT asteroid lander, which is being developed by DLR in collaboration with French space agency (Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales; CNES) and JAXA, will be put to work. A mechanism will push the 10-kilogram lander with its four instruments away from the spacecraft. "MASCOT will free-fall to the asteroid from an altitude of around 100 metres," explained project leader Tra-Mi Ho from the DLR Institute of Space Systems in Bremen. Sensors will then ensure that MASCOT knows which way is up and down, so it can orient itself and, if necessary, correct its attitude.
"This collaboration will enable us to consolidate and strengthen our existing cooperation with JAXA," said Johann-Dietrich Wörner, Chairman of the DLR Executive Board. "There is also a special 'first' with the Hayabusa-2 mission; it will be the first time that a lander on the surface of an asteroid is able to move around and perform scientific measurements in more than one place."
In-situ measurements
While Hayabusa-2 remains above the surface of the asteroid, the four instruments on MASCOT will carry out in-situ investigations into the properties of the surface. The DLR radiometer will measure the temperature, a magnetometer developed by Technische Universität Braunschweig will investigate the magnetisation of the rock, and the spectrometer supplied by CNES will analyse the minerals and rocks that make up the asteroid. The fourth instrument, a DLR camera, will image the fine structure of the surface to enable scientists to learn about the properties, size and shapes of the particles on the surface of the asteroid and map the area around the landing site.
Asteroid 1999 JU 3 is of particular interest to researchers because it consists of 4.5-billion-year-old material that has been altered very little. "Measurements taken from Earth also indicate that the asteroid's rock may have come into contact with water," explains Ralf Jaumann, a DLR planetary researcher and scientific spokesman for the experiments on the lander. "MASCOT is due to take measurements of the regolith itself, which will provide reference data about the surface and enable the samples subsequently brought back by Hayabusa-2 to be interpreted in the correct context." 1999 JU 3 belongs to a type of asteroid that is one of the most common among near-Earth asteroids, so information about its properties will be important in the event that one of these bodies is ever on a collision course with Earth.
At operation for two asteroid-days
Meanwhile, the Hayabusa-2 spacecraft will be using a suction nozzle to collect samples kicked up from the surface by impactor projectiles, and then return these to Earth for laboratory analysis. "MASCOT is the central piece of the puzzle in all the measurements," said project leader Tra-Mi Ho. "That is, it is the link between the data on the asteroid that the probe collects remotely and the laboratory analyses of the samples." Once the DLR asteroid lander has carried out all its measurements at one site, it will then 'hop' to the next site and start taking measurements there. This mechanism is being developed at the DLR Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics. MASCOT will work on the asteroid for a total of 16 hours – two full asteroid-days.

Some regard a letter of intent, or LOI, as merely an "agreement to agree." But, a letter of intent is the first opportunity for a buyer and seller to formally negotiate the terms of a merger or acquisition, and knowing what to say and how to say it is an important first step toward a smooth, efficient and ultimately successful deal. The binding provisions of an LOI should provide the buyer with the assurances it needs to commit significant time and resources to the transaction, while offering the seller comfort that it only will need to remain engaged with the buyer for a finite period of time before seeking another suitor. In addition, a well-drafted letter of intent establishes the economic and legal fundamentals of the deal and, since most of the provisions of an LOI are non-binding, creates a "moral" obligation between the parties that can be used as leverage during subsequent negotiations. If the parties have entered into a separate confidentiality agreement, then exclusivity and allocation of fees and expenses are typically the only notable binding provisions in an LOI. While the scope of exclusivity is usually not heavily negotiated, the duration of the exclusivity period is. Buyers continue to be cautious during due diligence, and an exclusivity period of 60 to 90 days is common in the context of the sale of a private company. While the arguments in favor of a shorter or longer exclusivity period are fairly obvious, the positions that a buyer and seller take while negotiating exclusivity can provide valuable insight into the psychology of the parties. For example, I recently represented a bidder that requested a 90-day exclusivity period. When pressed by the seller's investment banker, the bidder indicated it would not start legal and accounting due diligence until it had completed a quality of earnings analysis and that it would need the full 90 days to complete due diligence. The seller was not comfortable with this timeline and elected to move forward with other bidders. Conversely, a bidder in a recent sell-side engagement indicated that it could complete all due diligence in 30 days. The seller did not find this timeline to be credible and discounted the bid accordingly. In both cases, the exclusivity negotiations provided insight into the expectations of the parties. When it comes to the non-binding provisions of an LOI, the details involve more art than science. A basic description of the structure of the transaction, the form and amount of the purchase price and an express statement regarding which provisions are binding are a given. The LOI also presents an opportunity to anticipate issues that may arise during negotiations. By accelerating negotiations on these key points, a detailed LOI can help avoid disputes late in the sale process, when the parties may develop "deal fatigue" and negotiations often become heated. Issues to consider addressing specifically include escrow requirements, non-compete/non-solicit covenants, employment arrangements for key management (including the sellers), closing conditions and the fundamentals of the indemnification package (for example, survival periods, cap, basket, minimum claim threshold, etc.). In my experience, the bigger the difference in the relative sophistication of the parties, the greater the benefit to having a detailed LOI. For example, the sellers in a recent middle-market private equity transaction objected to our client's detailed recitation of the indemnification package in the LOI. While the sellers indicated that they agreed with most of what was being offered, they requested that we defer these discussions. When pressed to comment on our proposal, the sellers took several positions that were unacceptable to our client. The parties were ultimately able to resolve all of the open issues, but the LOI successfully identified these issues in a timely and efficient manner. When done properly, the LOI can serve as a road map for the entire transaction and prove to be much more than time and money wasted on a piece of paper that is merely an "agreement to agree."

You can use the Update Management solution in Azure Automation to manage operating system updates шалости дбампера инцест your Windows and Linux computers that are deployed in Azure, in on-premises environments, or in other cloud providers.
You can quickly assess the status of available updates on all agent computers and manage the process of installing required updates for servers. You can enable Update Management for virtual machines directly from your Azure Automation account. To learn how to enable Update Management for virtual machines from your Automation account, see Manage updates for multiple virtual machines.
You can also enable Update Management for a single virtual machine from the virtual machine pane in the Azure portal. This scenario is available for Linux and Windows шалости дбампера инцест machines. Computers that are managed by Update Management use the following configurations to шалости дбампера инцест assessment and update deployments:. The following diagram шалости дбампера инцест a conceptual view of the behavior and data flow with how the solution assesses and applies security updates to all connected Windows Server and Linux computers in a workspace:.
After a computer performs a scan for update compliance, the agent forwards the information in bulk to Azure Log Analytics. On a Windows computer, the compliance scan is performed every 12 hours by default.
In addition to the scan schedule, the scan for update compliance is initiated within 15 minutes if the MMA is restarted, before update installation, and after update installation. For a Linux computer, the compliance scan is performed every 3 hours by default. If the MMA agent is restarted, шалости дбампера инцест compliance scan is initiated within 15 minutes. This is the same for Linux computers that are configured to report to a local repo instead of to a public repo.
To learn more about these requirements, see Network planning for Hybrid Workers. You can deploy and install software updates on computers that require the updates by creating a scheduled deployment. Only required updates are included in the deployment scope. You also specify a schedule to approve and designate шалости дбампера инцест period of time during which updates can be installed.
Updates are installed by runbooks in Azure Automation. When an update deployment is created, the update deployment шалости дбампера инцест a schedule that starts a master update runbook at the specified time for the included computers. The master runbook starts a child runbook on each agent to perform installation шалости дбампера инцест required updates. At the date and time specified in the update deployment, the шалости дбампера инцест computers execute the deployment in parallel.
Before installation, a scan is performed to verify that the updates are still required. The Windows agent is required. For Linux, the machine must have access to an update repository. The update repository can be private or public.
To create and manage update deployments, you need specific permissions. To learn about these permissions, see Role-based access - Update Management. The solution consists of the following resources. The resources are added to your Automation account.
They fail if you try. These groups are intended to support only the management solution. You can add the Windows computers to a Hybrid Runbook Worker group in your Automation account to support Automation runbooks if you use the same account for both the solution and the Hybrid Runbook Worker group membership.
This functionality was added in version 7. If your System Center Operations Manager management group is connected to a Log Analytics workspace, the following management packs are installed in Operations Manager. These management шалости дбампера инцест are also installed on directly connected Windows computers after you add the solution.
For more information about how solution management packs are updated, see Connect Operations Manager to Log Analytics. For systems with the Operations Manger Agent, to be able to be fully managed by Update Management, the agent needs to be updated to the Microsoft Monitoring Agent. Шалости дбампера инцест learn how to шалости дбампера инцест the agent, see How to upgrade an Operations Manager agent.
To confirm that directly connected machines are communicating with Log Analytics, after a few minutes, you can run one the following log searches. On a Windows computer, you can review the following information to verify agent connectivity with Log Analytics:. To learn how to verify that the firewall or proxy server is properly configured, see Network configuration for Windows agent or Network configuration for Linux agent. Newly added Linux agents show a status шалости дбампера инцест Updated after an assessment has been performed.
Шалости дбампера инцест process can take up to 6 hours. A scan is performed twice per day for each managed Windows computer. Every 15 minutes, the Windows API is called to query for the last update time to determine whether the status has changed.
If the status has changed, a compliance scan is initiated. It can take between 30 шалости дбампера инцест and 6 hours for the dashboard to display updated data from managed computers. In your Automation account, select Update Management to view the status of your machines.
Шалости дбампера инцест view provides шалости дбампера инцест about your machines, missing updates, update deployments, and scheduled update deployments.
To run a log search that returns information about the machine, update, or deployment, select the item in the list.
The Log Search pane opens with a query for the item selected:. After updates are assessed for all the Linux and Windows шалости дбампера инцест in шалости дбампера инцест workspace, you can install required updates by creating an update deployment. An update deployment is a шалости дбампера инцест installation of required updates for one or more computers. You specify the date and time for the deployment and a computer or group шалости дбампера инцест computers to include in the scope of a deployment.
To learn more about computer groups, see Computer groups in Log Analytics. When you include computer groups in your update deployment, group membership is evaluated only once, at the time of schedule creation. To work around this, delete the scheduled update deployment and re-create it. Windows virtual machines that are deployed from the Azure Marketplace by default are set to receive automatic updates from Windows Update Service. To avoid updates being applied outside of a шалости дбампера инцест window on Ubuntu, reconfigure the Unattended-Upgrade package to disable automatic updates.
For information about how to configure the package, see Automatic Updates topic in the Ubuntu Server Guide. Select Missing updates to view the list of updates that are missing from your machines. Each update is listed and can be selected. Information about the number of machines that require the update, the operating system, and a link for more information is shown. The Log search pane shows more details about the updates.
Select the Update Deployments tab to view the list of existing update deployments. Select any of the шалости дбампера инцест deployments in the table to open the Update Deployment Run pane for that update deployment. To create a new update deployment, select Schedule update deployment. The New Update Deployment pane opens.
Enter values for the properties described in the following table and then click Create:. The following tables list the update classifications in Update Management, with a definition for each classification. For Linux, Update Management can distinguish between critical and security updates in the cloud while displaying assessment data due to data enrichment in the cloud.
For patching, Update Management relies on classification data available on the machine. Unlike other distributions, CentOS does not have this information available out of the box.
If you have CentOS machines configured in a way to return security data for the following command, Update Management will be able to patch based on classifications. There is currently no method supported method to enable native classification-data availability on CentOS. At this time, only best-effort support is provided to customers who may have enabled this on their own.
The following addresses are required specifically for Update Management. Communication to these addresses occurs over port For more information about ports that шалости дбампера инцест Hybrid Runbook Worker requires, see Hybrid Worker role ports. It is recommended to use the addresses listed when defining exceptions. This file is updated weekly, and reflects the currently deployed ranges and any upcoming changes to the IP ranges.
In addition to the details that are provided in the Azure portal, you can do searches against the logs. On the solution pages, select Log Analytics.
Шалости дбампера инцест Log Search pane opens. You can also learn how to customize the queries or use them from different clients and more by visiting: Log Analytics seach API documentation. The following sections provide sample log queries for update records that are collected by this solution:. The following query checks for a match on either endianness. Customers who have invested in System Center Configuration Manager for managing PCs, servers, and mobile devices also rely on the strength and maturity of Configuration Manager to help them manage software updates.
Configuration Manager is part of their software update management SUM cycle. This might lead to Update Management runs where the OS version number changes. Because Update Management uses шалости дбампера инцест same methods to update packages that an administrator would use locally on the Linux computer, this behavior is intentional.
When you deploy updates to a Linux machine, you can select update classifications. This filters the updates that are applied to those that meet the specified criteria. This filter is applied locally on the machine when the update is deployed. However, Update Management might still report that machine as being non-compliant because it has additional information about шалости дбампера инцест relevant update.
Deploying updates шалости дбампера инцест update classification does not work on CentOS out of the box. This is a limitation of zypper.

Astoria's western border is the East River. The southern border is just north of Queens Plaza, though the Post Office marks it along Broadway and 31st Avenue. The eastern border with Woodside is 50th Street.
Astoria dates to the colonial 1650s, when William Hallett Sr. received a land grant for what would become known as Astoria and Hallet's Cove. Stephen Halsey founded the village in 1839, naming Astoria after John Jacob Astor. In the 1870s William Steinway built Steinway Village for workers at Steinway & Sons Piano Factory.
Waves of immigrants have made Astoria home, from Czechs in the 1890s to Brazilians in the 1990s. Though famous for Greeks, Italians-Americans were more numerous until recently.
Long Island City lies in western Queens across the East River from Manhattan. The history of Long Island City spans more than 360 years from its humble beginning as Dutch farmland in the 1640s to its growth into a residential and commercial hub. On the western shore of Queens, Long Island City borders the East River to the north and west (spanning the length of midtown Manhattan to Harlem), Newtown creek to the south, and 51st/Hobart Street to the east. Although it has always been an integral part of the history of New York City, Long Island City has its own unique past.
Chartered in 1870, Long Island City was the merging of the village of Astoria and several hamlets such as Steinway, Ravenswood, and Hunters Point. Long Island City existed independently from New York City for 28 years until it was incorporated by the City of New York in the consolidation of 1898.
During the late 1800's, there was an increase in the commercial and industrial life of New York City, bringing about an increase in European immigration and a greater demand for real estate in Astoria. This era marked the beginning of the German settlement of Astoria by German cabinet makers. Few people have done so much to transform a country village into a community as the German immigrant Henry Steinway, patriarch of the Steinway Piano factory. After building a piano factory in 1853, Steinway and his family erected both a sawmill and a foundry. They carved out streets and opened a streetcar line; they built what was known as Steinway Village, complete with Victorian row houses, a church, and a school where German was taught as a second language. They also provided workers with one of the first free kindergartens in the United States.
The Long Island Rail Road terminal was built on Hunters Point in 1861, which helped the district become an industrial center during the Civil War. After the villages were consolidated into Long Island City, the new city government encouraged developing industry; gas plants, chemical and glass factories soon lined the East River waterfront.
The status of Astoria was changed in 1898, when it became part of greater New York City. Large farms and country estates were transformed into housing tracts for single family homes and apartment complexes. The largest gasworks in New York State and a railroad trestle for the Pennsylvania Railroad were constructed. By the end of the 19th century, the city had the highest concentration of industry in the United States.
In 1909, the biggest transformation began with the opening of the Queensboro Bridge, immediately changing the community from a remote suburb to a destination minutes from Manhattan. Continuing this expansion, the Second Avenue elevated train opened in 1917, connecting Long Island City even more closely to Manhattan. The Queensboro Bridge and the Second Avenue train proved only to be the beginning of the routes in and out of Long Island City. The Triboro Bridge, linking Manhattan, Bronx & Queens, was finished on July 11th, 1936. Today, Long Island City is connected with the rest of New York City by six tunnels and five bridges. The development of bridges, tunnels and roads helped make Long Island City an accessible and vital industrial area for New York City.
Astoria Pool opened with much fanfare on the fourth of July in the scorching summer of 1936 on the first day of the Olympic trials. It was the best of 10 pools that opened within a 10-week span in what was dubbed as "the swimming pool year". It is still the city's largest pool (54,450 sq. ft.). Tens of thousands have enjoyed the warm water of Astoria Pool since its opening.
The Astoria branch is located at the corner Astoria Boulevard and 14th Street in Astoria. The branch opened on November 19th 1904. The total construction cost was $47,208.09. An addition was added to the original building in 1936. WPA artist Max Spivak's circus mural graces the wall of the Adult room. The branch is 8600 square feet. The orange brick building stands one story high.
