Apparently not a peep was heard from `Oumuamua.
No alien signals have been detected from an interstellar, cigar-shaped space rock discovered travelling through our Solar System in October, researchers listening for evidence of extraterrestrial technology said Thursday.
Given its weird trajectory, surprised researchers immediately concluded it was from beyond our planetary system—the first interstellar object ever identified in our midst.
The rock is thought to be about 400 metres (1,300 feet) long, and thin—only about 40 m wide, a never-before-seen shape for an asteroid.
"No such signals have been detected" by its network of telescopes, the project said Thursday, adding: "the analysis is not yet complete".
Its surface appearance is a fairly close match to objects found in our own solar system.
Scientists at Queen's University Belfast have led worldwide investigations into a mysterious object that passed close to Earth after arriving from deep interstellar space.Since the object was spotted in October, Professor Alan Fitzsimmons and Dr Michele Bannister from the School of Mathematics and Physics at Queen's University have led an international team of astronomers to piece together a profile of the strange visitor, which has been named `Oumuamua.
The team was made up of researchers from elsewhere in the UK, the US, Canada, Taiwan and Chile and in total seven researchers from Queen's were involved.
The research, which has been published this week in Nature Astronomy, suggests that `Oumuamua's dry crust could have protected its icy interior from being vaporised - even though the object was just 23 million miles from our sun in September when it zipped past.
Professor Alan Fitzsimmons commented: "We have discovered that the surface of `Oumuamua is similar to small solar system bodies that are covered in carbon-rich ices, whose structure is modified by exposure to cosmic rays.
"We have also found that a half-metre thick coating of organic-rich material could have protected a water-ice-rich comet-like interior from vaporizing when the object was heated by the sun, even though it was heated to over 300 degrees centigrade."
Don't lose hope. The Mothership will come to take Trump home.
A summation of current knowledge about 'Oumuamua; the only newish thing I noticed is the note on a paper arguing that this observation implies that there is a very large number of these interstellar objects rattling around the galaxy.
Since 'Oumuamua's discovery, scientists have been gathering as many observations of this body as possible before it vanishes into the distance. Simultaneously, theorists have leapt at the opportunity to explain its presence and the implications its passage has on our understanding of our surroundings. Here we present just a few of the latest studies that have been published on this first detected interstellar asteroid — including several timely studies published in our new journal, Research Notes of the AAS.
Current thinking based on observations is that 'Oumuamua is an interstellar comet or an alien space probe cunningly disguised as such.
`Oumuamua -- the first interstellar object discovered within our Solar System -- has been the subject of intense scrutiny since its discovery in October 2017. Now, by combining data from the ESO's Very Large Telescope and other observatories, an international team of astronomers has found that the object is moving faster than predicted. The measured gain in speed is tiny and `Oumuamua is still slowing down because of the pull of the Sun -- just not as fast as predicted by celestial mechanics.
The team, led by Marco Micheli (European Space Agency) explored several scenarios to explain the faster-than-predicted speed of this peculiar interstellar visitor. The most likely explanation is that `Oumuamua is venting material from its surface due to solar heating -- a behaviour known as outgassing. The thrust from this ejected material is thought to provide the small but steady push that is sending `Oumuamua hurtling out of the Solar System faster than expected -- as of 1 June 2018 it is traveling at roughly 114,000 kilometres per hour.
Such outgassing is a behaviour typical for comets and contradicts the previous classification of `Oumuamua as an interstellar asteroid. "We think this is a tiny, weird comet," commented Marco Micheli. "We can see in the data that its boost is getting smaller the farther away it travels from the Sun, which is typical for comets."
Usually, when comets are warmed by the Sun they eject dust and gas, which form a cloud of material -- called a coma (cometary) -- around them, as well as the characteristic tail . However, the research team could not detect any visual evidence of outgassing.
"We did not see any dust, coma, or tail, which is unusual," explained co-author Karen Meech of the University of Hawaii, USA. Meech led the discovery team's characterisation of `Oumuamua in 2017. "We think that 'Oumuamua may vent unusually large, coarse dust grains."
Though the paper came out months ago, apparently it didn't get enough notice (to my shame I failed to catch it in the science news aggregators), so now one of the authors is doing interviews to get some publicity. "It really could have been a solar sail or even an alien probe. Really!" The main interview is in Haaretz, which has a strict paywall policy, so I've got a couple of other options.
DER SPIEGEL: Professor Loeb, do you have a favorite alien?
Loeb: To be honest, I don't like science fiction personally. I have a problem when the action in a movie violates the laws of physics. In those cases, I cannot enjoy the experience aesthetically.
DER SPIEGEL: If you don't like aliens, why are you exploring the question of intelligent extraterrestrial life?
Loeb: Because it's one of the really big questions. I have always been interested, even as a young kid, in thinking about the big picture. And the most fundamental of all questions is: Are we alone?
DER SPIEGEL: Why do you consider the question to be so fundamental?
Loeb: If at some point we encounter other intelligent beings, it would radically change our perspective of our importance in the big scheme of things. In addition, extraterrestrial intelligences could enormously increase our knowledge. Learning from them would improve our understanding of the world. It could be a shortcut -- just as if somebody from the Middle Ages were to get a glimpse of our world in the 21st century.

Profile: Robert Meyers
Published: Sept. 1, 2014 • By Ken McConnellogue
Robert Meyers (PolSci'61)
Essence of the Irish Pub
Selecting the best Irish pubs in America seems like an idea conceived in one; few follow through on the notion the next morning. But after talking with pub owner and friend Ron Wallace, Robert Meyers(PolSci'61) spent a year traveling more than 10,000 miles for the project.
The result is the coffee table book Irish Pubs in America: History, Lore and Recipes. Its beautiful photography and lively writing chronicle more than 50 Irish pubs across America. Some are true institutions while others could be considered dives. The common thread is that each has an interesting story or special ambience.
"It's a gathering place," Meyers says of the pub. "It's a second home. It's where life's great moments are lived and shared. People celebrate births and birthdays, weddings and anniversaries and even funerals. There's something almost magical or mystical about an Irish pub. It's just an incredible, wonderful institution."
Meyers says the difficult part of putting together the book was not which pubs to include but which to omit. He and collaborator Wallace started with more than 150 of them. They culled the list and then began the task — if you can call it that — of visiting pubs, looking for those elements that made them stand out. Two Denver pubs are included — Nallen's and Scruffy Murphy's — along with mainstays in traditional Irish towns like Boston, Chicago and New York, and newcomers in Honolulu and Los Angeles.
"We searched for that certain something that makes a pub a story," Meyers says. "When you walk into a great pub, you know it the minute you walk in."
The book not only celebrates significant Irish pubs across the country but delivers lessons in history and historic preservation. Sidebar articles give a short synopsis on topics from whiskey distilling to building the Erie Canal to banyan trees.
"We tried to make the book not only entertaining, but informative," he says.
His work as an author makes a third career for Meyers. After leaving CU he served in foreign service international posts in South America and Europe, then worked in the private sector for Bendix, which develops and supplies safety technologies like air braking systems for commercial vehicles. He began writing after retiring.
While the Irish pub is nearly as ubiquitous around the world as the Chinese restaurant, Meyers says the special connection between Ireland and America makes the book particularly relevant.
"This book is a tribute to the Irish and what they have accomplished and contributed to the United States," he says. "We Americans owe the Irish so much, and we use the book as a vehicle to celebrate that."

It still has enormous weight at many highly selective colleges, but its popularity isn't growing there. Harvard University in December admitted students who applied early — or Last December, Harvard admitted students, or Both news releases hailed the numbers for women — Harvard is different from many early programs in that it is "early action" not "early decision" — meaning that admitted students are not obliged to enroll. But the university is not alone in seeing a minor decline in the number of students who applied early and who were admitted early. There are all kinds of reasons given for the declines — which some say are insignificant. Making comparisons at this point in the year is difficult.

Past students at the Middlebury School in Argentina have held internships in a variety of fields. Alexandra Blaney Pomona College I worked at the Centro FECA , an organization that studies argentine culture, especially the tango, in a field broader than the usual artistic-aesthetic one. It is a small organization, which meant that I actually participated and contributed. I did whatever small tasks needed to be done such as creating contact lists, checking presentations for errors, translating brochures and proposals into English, etc.
I also helped with a photography exhibit and a presentation to prospective financers. My main work was researching the increasing incidence and cultural value of tango throughout the world, which involved reading articles and books in English and writing short reports on them. My experience was a success because I was very careful to ask exactly what I was supposed to be doing and by doing things that needed to be done without being told to do them.
In addition to holding weekly tango lessons open to the public, FECA hosts workshops and exhibits by local and foreign artists and entertainers. Donovan New Pomona College The Valta Thorsen Foundation is a good place to meet lots of different people and gives you the opportunity to learn about many different art forms.

I also did some busy work along the way — things that the paid assistants would not want to do. I teach piano lessons when my boss is out of town and unable to teach them, attend various events, master classes, plays, etc. My boss has also taken me to board meetings and other events associated with the foundation.

Pomona College is requiring students to move out by March 18 and remain off-campus for the remainder of the semester. The President of Scripps College, Lara Tidens, sent out an email to the Scripps College community today, March 11, announcing that all classes at the small liberal arts college—and those of the Claremont Colleges Consortium—will be suspended. Tiedens attributed the major decision to the elevated risk of the coronavirus COVID spreading in the Claremont Colleges, affecting the safety of students, faculty and staff.
This news comes after Pomona College, another member of the Consortium, elected to cancel all public events through April 18th implemented from March 9th. Classes will be conducted online for the final half of the spring semester. The College will provide information about plans for the remainder of the semester prior to that date.

Q: Apache zeppelin process died I'm trying to run zeppelin on Ubuntu14 w/ Hadoop 1.0.3 and Spark 1.4.0.
I've finished building the source code, and all of the package successfully finished building. But when I run the daemon, it fails and says that the Zeppelin process had died.
Any ideas where this is going wrong?
It says that it can't find the logs folder and the run folder, which are definitely there.

A: Joseph,
I suggest that you try to test your zeppelin package first.
mvn verify

or check if your zeppelin process is alive or not.
ps -aux | grep zeppelin

A: Try running zeppelin by sudo :
sudo bin/zeppelin-daemon.sh start

A: This works for me:
ps -ef | grep "zeppelin"
kill -9 pid
sudo bin/zeppelin-daemon.sh restart

A: It could be an error caused by JDK version, at least that was the case for me
try to update jdk and build it again.
Also, make sure you are building it using the correct command
mvn clean package -Pspark-1.4 -Dhadoop.version=2.2.0 -Phadoop-2.2 -DskipTests

A: If you are running zeppelin from a virtual machine make sure that you have enough RAM and CPU.  I ran into your problem when I was using Virtual Box and the default settings.  When I increased the cpu's to 2 and RAM to 4096 everything worked fine.  This is because zeppelin runs spark by default and spark is very resource intensive locally and otherwise.

A: I had the same issue and tried the proposed answers but none worked for me. Here is what did work for me:

*

*Download the binaries, then download the build requirements:
sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk npm libfontconfig r-base-dev r-cran-evaluate
sudo apt install maven

*Go to the Zeppelin directory and run:
sudo bin/zeppelin-daemon.sh start

*Go to localhost:8080 in your browser.

A: I had the same issue right now.. so I checked environment compatibility with my cdh then I got java compatibility issue
I setup yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk then start all the services of Hadoop with spark
Then, I started zeppelin, I made the zeppelin folder on root so I used..
sudo zeppelin/bin/zeppelin-daemon.sh start
Or
zeppelin/bin/zeppelin-daemon.sh start

A: I took Kangrok Lee's suggestion and ran mvn verify on my system. It prompted me that I do not have JAVA_HOME set and JAVA_HOME must point to JDK and not JRE.
Following steps fixed for me:

*

*Make sure you have JDK installed on the system where you are trying to run zeppelin

*Make sure JAVA_HOME environment variable points to your JDK and not JRE
After above steps are ensured zeppelin-daemon.sh start / restart should work for you. No need to use sudo.

Two decades later, same opinion. Kato Kaelin, a key witness during the O.J. Simpson trial in 1995, told Barbara Walters in a new interview airing Monday, Nov. 9, that he still believes the former football star is guilty in the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.
The night the murders took place in June 1994, Kaelin was a guest at Simpson's home — and the sequence of events remains ingrained in his memory. "O.J. Simpson came by my door, my guesthouse, and said that he was going to go out and eat," Kaelin, 56, recalled to the veteran journalist, 86, on her new ID series, Barbara Walters Presents American Scandals.
The two pals went to McDonald's, and eventually, Kaelin returned to his bungalow while Simpson headed into his house. An hour and a half later, a limo pulled up to the home to take Simpson to the airport, and Kaelin helped him pack.
"There was a bag that was ready to be packed," Kaelin recalled. "And he said, 'Don't touch that bag.' And that bag was never found. It looked like a backpack. I don't know what was in there, but something in there . . . enough for O.J. to say, 'Don't touch.'"
The prosecution brought Kaelin in to determine whether Simpson, now 68, could have committed the crime. The defense, meanwhile, viewed Kaelin as a "friendly witness." All Kaelin could do at the time was recall the timeline of events from his perspective.
After an eight-month trial that was heavily scrutinized by the public, Simpson was found "not guilty." Walters was with Kaelin when the shocking verdict was read aloud in 1995. "You asked me off camera . . . 'What do you think?'" Kaelin recalled of that moment. "And I whispered into your ear, I said, 'I think they made a mistake.'"
Twenty years later, his opinion hasn't changed. "I could only say what I knew," Kaelin shared. "And that's what I testified to, my opinion about his guilt is my opinion. In my opinion, yes, I think he's guilty. In hindsight, and everything, 20 years later, I think that O.J. Simpson is guilty."
Simpson, meanwhile, is incarcerated at the Lovelock Correctional Center in Nevada, where he is behind bars on charges of armed robbery and kidnapping, among other felonies. He was sentenced to 33 years in prison in 2008.

Seems to have been around for an absolute age and has continued to perform reasonably well at Toulouse, but there is a sense that Sissoko has been standing still. While his game is to drive his team forward and lead from the back, have we already seen the peak of his powers and is there anything else to come?
Originally selected to play at full international level by France aged just 18, Sissoko has only added two more caps to his tally which would have been quite difficult to comprehend in 2009 as clubs queued up to become acquainted with the Mali born midfielder.
None of this makes Sissoko a bad player; he just looks to have hit something of a plateau. Time to make his own mind up if there's more to come or is he happy to settle for 'just' being a decent player.
