Bret Jackson and Richard Graff, "Time Travel is Possible: Computational Tools to Support Experiential Analysis of Oratorical Venues in Ancient Greece"
Thursday, September 22, 2016 at 6pm, John B. Davis Lecture Hall in the Ruth Stricker Dayton Campus Center, Macalester College
The Pnyx site in Athens is of enormous historical importance; it is widely regarded as the birthplace of democracy, but despite decades of intensive study, many fundamental features of the site remain in dispute. How many audience members could attend meetings and what would it feel like to speak to 6,000 audience members (a quorum) or more? What demands does the structure itself make on the speaker to be seen, heard, and understood, and on auditors to see, hear, and understand? We will discuss a digital liberal arts collaboration between computer scientists and a scholar of Greek rhetoric pioneering the use of virtual reality and computational tools for experiential analysis of oratorical performance venues.
Dr. Graff's current research considers the theories of prose style presented in the rhetorical treatises of ancient Greece and Rome. He is especially interested in the ways early theories of style reflect or respond to circumstances of oratorical performance and textual production in classical antiquity. His articles on this subject have appeared in Rhetorica, Rhetoric Society Quarterly, and Advances in the History of Rhetoric. He has also published essays on evolving historiographies of rhetoric and on the rhetorical theory of Chaim Perelman, and is co-editor of The Viability of the Rhetorical Tradition.
He is a past president of the American Society for the History of Rhetoric (ASHR) and serves as referee for several journals in rhetorical studies. He has held a University of Minnesota McKnight Summer Research Fellowship and been a visiting Senior Associate Member of the American School of Classical Studies in Athens, Greece. Dr. Graff is an Associate Professor in the Department of Writing Studies and teaches graduate courses and seminars in Classical Rhetoric, Modern Rhetorical Theory, and Rhetorical Stylistics. He is recipient of the College of Agricultural, Food and Environmental Sciences' (now CFANS) Distinguished Teaching Award.

Q: Sending data to external js file without it being visible to user (CodeIgniter) I want to send a variable from my controller to a view which then uses that variable as a parameter for a Javascript function found in an external file.  I know that, for example, I could pass the variable from the controller to the view using an array, and then use:
var quiz_key = <?php echo $quiz_key; ?>;

to pass the php variable to a javascript variable, which I could then use as a parameter for the function.  However, in doing this, the variable becomes visible if a user was to View Source and see the html.  Is there a way of accomplish this to where the variable would not be visible in this context?
Thanks in advance!  I'm still getting the hang of this so any help is appreciated!

A: No. As javascript is not a server side language, but it runs on the client's browser, it cannot be completely hidden from him. You can hide this piece of code, obfuscate it, minimize it, but it can be found eventually.
You can set up a node.js server on the remote machine, connect to it, send it some variables, then process them and return to the client the result, but that's much more complex sollution.

A: I'll Vote for using Ajax. nodejs is good but if you are in a hurry you should use Ajax.

Murky Situation: Why Hasn't a Syracuse Coach Contacted WR Vaquan Small?
The Miami WR says he has an offer from the Orange.
It appears Syracuse has offered South Florida receiver Vaquan Small a scholarship. That's according to one scouting service and Small himself. However, Small tells The Fizz in an exclusive he has not actually been contacted directly by anyone at SU.
The 6'1″ Small says he was told by his coach at Booker T. Washington High School that Syracuse had offered him a scholarship. It came as a surprise to Small because as of Sunday afternoon he had not yet been contacted by an Orange coach. With that said, Small said he is looking forward to speaking with someone from Syracuse, and assumes that they have not reached out yet, "because they are busy… and when they get a chance they will call me."
Small is a big wide receiver, standing between 6'1" and 6'2". Small attacks the ball, makes defenders miss, and has a good vertical jump. Small is improving as a pass catcher. With some of the defections the Orange has had with receivers leaving the program, it makes sense that the Orange would jump at a big target like Small.
The receiver tells The Fizz he was expecting one of his offensive line teammates to be offered by SU. According to Small, his coach was in conversations with the Orange staff, but that SU decided it had filled its spots along the O-Line for this recruiting class. But needs at receiver were brought up and Small became the topic of conversation. Small says this is what led to him being offered.
Small says he has offers from Appalachian State and FIU. Scout is also reporting he has an offer from Bowling Green, Samford and FAU. Syracuse is the only Power-5 program thus far to offer him.
Clearly, SU has a lot on its plate right now. And maybe Small is right, the Orange staff is just really busy. But if he indeed has an offer, it's strange for SU not to have directly spoken to Small. It's also possible the Orange has shown interest, but there is no official offer yet. However, that would mean previous reports are untrue. Strange situation that hopefully clears up soon.

Searching for Michael Cohen
Jewish summer camp in the 1970s and 1980s was a veritable hotbed of Michael Cohens. What if you dated THAT ONE?
By Marjorie Ingall
April 20, 2018 • 2:00 PM
My friend, writer Stephanie Dolgoff, has been eradicating my SAD (Schmuck-in-the-White-House Affective Disorder) all week with manic Facebook musings about whether the sweet Michael Cohen she kissed at sleepaway camp in the Poconos in 1979 grew up to become the sour Cheeto's chief counsel. Equipped with only her memories and a blurry black-and-white picture of a tween boy in a pukka-shell necklace, she and her camp friends did a ton of difficult forensic work, trying to figure out if that cute wee Mike developed a post-adolescent pugnacious chin and a penchant for only having three clients. Her anxiety and detective skills produced a truly hilarious story for Next Tribe, a new website for women aged 45-plus, which you must check out.
Steph's mission was tough, because, as she noted, "You couldn't swing a tetherball at Jewish camp in the late 1970s without hitting a Michael Cohen." Indeed, they were as numerous as the stars in the sky and the sand of the seashore. She mused: "That floppy brown hair. That entitled confidence. That slightly agape, indignant mouth. Was that the same mouth that had inexpertly met mine, all those years ago? And if it was, do I have retroactive cooties?"
Alas, Steph's cootie situation remains unresolved (though signs do point to "yes") but my brain immediately leapt to the idea of a female buddy comedy for the #metoo age, to be called Searching for Michael Cohen. Here it is. Producers, put me on speed dial. Steph, I'll give you a piece of the action.
Act One:
As we speak, 50ish (but STILL HOT) Jewish women all over the country are freaking out that the Michael Cohen they kissed in summer camp in 1987 (sorry, Steph, we gotta age this up a little to attract the lucrative teen market) is THAT Michael Cohen. No records exist because pre-internet. We open with a montage of women on computers (think Sandra Bullock in The Net) and telephones (think "The Telephone Hour" in Bye Bye Birdie, only cordless) jabbering away in panic. From a huge grid of lively, beautiful women, we focus on our five main characters who attended five different Jewish camps in the '80s: STACI (Sandra Bullock), a frazzled single mom and former TV news producer; SHARI (Marisa Tomei), a mousy Hebrew School teacher unhappily married to SOLLY, a fatuous asshole rabbi (Colin Firth); SAMMI (Mira Sorvino), a hard-charging finance executive unhappily married to MANNY (Keanu Reeves), a mild-mannered glasses-wearing librarian; TERI (Melissa McCarthy), a happily promiscuous plus-size fashion designer: and TRACI (Gabrielle Union—not all Jews are white, jeez), a newly divorced, glamorous but sad actress. The women band together online and in person to research their five Michael Cohens.
Act Two:
Scooby Gang adventures! They break into now-shuttered Jewish sleepaway camps to look for old yearbooks; spy on the real Michael Cohen and keep falling into shrubbery; have drunken heart-to-hearts; accidentally eat a cheeseburger (Shari); someone vomits and/or has hilarious diarrhea; shenanigans occur. (Specifics TK. It's Bridesmaids meets Girls Trip with more Elsa Peretti Star of David necklaces, OK?) There are flashbacks featuring five different tween youthful Michael Cohens with feathered hair in Jewish-ish camp scenes teeming with lanyards, t'filah in the woods, tetherball injuries, Tretorns, mean girls applying Bonne Bell rollerball lip gloss. (Bubbeleh, have your girl crunch the numbers on whether we can pipe the smell of Tatiana and Sun-In into the theater.) Recycle the "has anyone seen Mike Hunt?" scene from Porky's. Who'll know? All the Porky's fans are dead.
Act Three:
Together, our heroines solve each other's problems, all of which date from adolescent insecurity and incidents of camp cruelty. Bad Michael Cohens meet their long-delayed comeuppance; good Michael Cohens are rewarded with the love of a fine woman. Staci falls in love with her old camp boyfriend, Michael Cohen (Paul Rudd), an orthopedist and a Democrat. Shari dumps pompous Solly for a nice, truly spiritual Michael Cohen (Jon Hamm) and they conjugate Hebrew verbs sexily. Sammi realizes she's still in love with Manny because he's kind and amazing at helping her track Michael Cohens and she learns how important good research skills are in our age of obfuscation and Fake News. Terri sleeps with all the unattached Michael Cohens and one Michaela Cohen and is not slut-shamed. Traci has the hint of a flirtation with a geeky Michael Cohen (Mark Ruffalo) who doesn't even know she's famous now and just remembers her as the hot girl from Omanut where they made coil pots together erotically. She decides to run for office and everyone is into it.
Spoiler alert: No one dated THAT Michael Cohen.
Also: I don't know how to write a script treatment. I Googled. I'm sorry.

Hello to all, I am a new member researching my family tree from a distance here in France.
I have got on very well (back to 1666) with the Dunstans in Cornwall, mainly because they were God fearing folk and I was able to look at Parish Records online, but am having trouble with the Markers in Llanelli.
Mainly because I can't seem to find Parish Records online in Carmarthenshire, the furthest I have got back is to Henry Marker 1813-1883.
I would love to hear of any modern Markers particularly if they also trace back to Henry.
Also I am interested to know if he had a brother Richard because a Marker of that name was born around 1820 I think and brought up a large family of similar names only a few streets away.
Well, just to update this thread and after being stuck and frustrated for a couple of years I finally made the trip to Llanelli a few weeks ago.
I have found that Henry Marker (b.1813) was the son of John (b.1776) and Susannah (Giles) Marker who were married in Ashbrittle Somerset around the turn of the century and that Richard Marker was indeed one of their childen and thus Henry's brother.
A search of Ashbrittle churchyard proved nothing but a local historian found one entry in the parish register, that of their marriage where John was described as a sojourner and, as I know that their 1st child, Mary, was baptised in nearby Tiverton concluded that maybe the Markers came from there.
In St.Elli's churchyard in Llanelli I found clear as day, the headstone of William Marker 1745-1833 as well as details of the lives of John and Susannah. So, back one more generation.
Did William accompany his son and daughter in law to Llanelli or did he follow later? Perhaps when his wife died?
I thought that this information gave me the link to England which I had always suspected (I don't think there are any 'k's in the Welsh language) but then discovered the (unconfirmed) information on another person's tree that both John and William were born in Llanelli and also vague details of 2 further generations, both Johns born in 1720 and 1699.
So perhaps they are an even older Llanelli family after all and that John did what his grandson William (my Gt.Grandfather) did, that is, went to England (or Cornwall) to marry his bride and have his first child before returning to Llanelli.
More questions than answers as ever!

United States: Proposed CFIUS Regulations Draw Questions On Foreign Investment Definitions, Enforcement
by Mario Mancuso (London) , Shawn Cooley (London) and Lucille Hague (London)
Kirkland & Ellis International LLP
On October 17, 2019, the public comment period closed on the proposed regulations implementing certain provisions of the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act ("FIRRMA") aimed at evaluating foreign investments in U.S. businesses and issued by the Department of the Treasury as chair of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States ("CFIUS"). The comments demonstrate significant interest from private equity investors and companies, as well as industry trade groups, foreign government agencies, and law firms about the scope and potential impacts of the proposed regulations. CFIUS will consider the comments when drafting the final implementing regulations, which must become effective no later than February 13, 2020.
Many comments focused on the potential breadth and perceived ambiguities and gaps of the provisions, requesting clarification and further guidance from CFIUS on implementation and enforcement. We summarize below the most pressing open questions that CFIUS will need to consider when drafting its final rules.
Do the proposed regulations materially expand the definition of a "U.S. Business"?
While the proposed regulations delete the limiting language of the existing definition of a U.S. Business (i.e., any entity "engaged in interstate commerce in the United States, but only to the extent of its activities in interstate commerce"), Treasury explained that this change was merely intended to conform with the statutory definition in FIRRMA.
In its public comments, the House Committee on Financial Services (the "Financial Services Committee") specifically noted that Congress intended to keep CFIUS' jurisdiction limited to the portion of a transaction with a clear nexus to interstate commerce. To date, neither CFIUS nor Congress has expressed a clear intention to expand CFIUS' jurisdiction to include any portion of cross-border transactions that does not otherwise involve interstate commerce in the U.S.
As a result, it would be surprising if the final regulations included any material change to this definition.
What countries will be "excepted" from CFIUS' expanded jurisdiction?
Commenters expressed significant interest in CFIUS' forthcoming list of "excepted states," which Treasury confirmed would not be a "null set." A common suggestion was to exempt all military allies (e.g., NATO members, states involved with the Foreign Assistance Act) and traditional economic allies (e.g., non-NATO European Union members and European Free Trade Association states).
As an alternative, some commenters recommended incorporating by reference an existing U.S. government list based on specific criteria for inclusion. The Financial Services Committee echoed these recommendations in its comments. Unsurprisingly, many interested countries (including Sweden, Japan, Singapore, Canada and the U.K.) advocated for their inclusion on the excepted states list. China, for its part, requested that all foreign states be treated equally by CFIUS.
Given CFIUS' historic emphasis on analyzing transactions on a case-by-case basis, we anticipate that the initial list of excepted states is likely to be short.
Can CFIUS expand the current definition of "Excepted Investor"?
Commenters explained the difficulty of ensuring that every board member was either a U.S. person or a national from an excepted state. Alternative proposals included setting a lower threshold of board members that must meet this criteria, deeming that board members from allied countries that are not on the excepted states list meet the requirement, and not considering a board member with dual nationality from a non-excepted state to have caused the board to violate the requirement.
Many commenters also suggested that CFIUS lower the ownership threshold of companies not traded on a U.S. stock exchange that must be owned by U.S. persons or persons from an excepted state. The Financial Services Committee emphasized that "hurdles to qualify as an excepted foreign investor are inconsistent with Congressional intent."
When can U.S.-controlled investment funds be deemed "foreign" for CFIUS purposes?
The proposed regulations do not provide conclusive guidance regarding how CFIUS will treat U.S. investment funds with foreign limited partners. FIRRMA clarifies that an otherwise U.S.-controlled investment fund will not be deemed "foreign" for the purpose of CFIUS' jurisdiction simply because its advisory committee has foreign members, and the proposed regulations leave in place CFIUS' current treatment of standard minority shareholder protections (i.e., CFIUS will continue to evaluate whether such protections confer control on a limited partner on a case-by-case basis).
Commenters requested guidance on how a fund may ensure that foreign limited partners do not obtain control such that the U.S. investment fund would fall under CFIUS' jurisdiction. It appears that no bright-line tests are forthcoming, but CFIUS could issue additional examples to provide more guidance for U.S.-controlled funds.
Will CFIUS maintain or limit its current pilot program for critical technologies?
Commenters noted the apparent ambiguities in CFIUS' current pilot program and requested that CFIUS terminate the program, or, in the alternative, reduce its impact by creating a more specific list of technologies of interest. In particular, some commenters recommended exempting technology that relates to encryption items eligible for export under the Commerce Department's "License Exception ENC" (which broadly authorizes exports of certain encryption items).
Even if CFIUS terminates the pilot program, the committee would retain its expanded jurisdiction to review minority non-passive investments in companies involved with critical technologies, but the decision to seek CFIUS review and approval would be voluntary.
What could be "material nonpublic technical information" that subjects an investment to CFIUS' jurisdiction?
Commenters expressed concern that the proposed regulations could deter foreign investment if investors are not able to receive adequate information to monitor the economic performance of their investments. Accordingly, some requested that this term be limited to information needed to reverse-engineer a product.
Will CFIUS narrow the definition of "sensitive personal data"?
Commenters recommended that CFIUS exclude de-identified data and anonymized genetic information. In a similar vein, the Financial Services Committee encouraged Treasury to tailor this definition to "real-world circumstances" and narrow it to focus on "credible national security threats."
Finally, commenters requested that CFIUS increase the threshold number of individuals on whom data is collected from one million to five million, and that CFIUS provide guidance on how to determine if data is "integrated" into a "primary" product or service. Any changes will be of particular importance to companies operating in the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors.
Will CFIUS provide interactive maps or other online tools to clarify what property will be subject to the expanded real estate jurisdiction?
Several commenters requested clarity on what properties will be subject to CFIUS' expanded real estate jurisdiction and made requests for a list of criteria, maps or other interactive tools. Treasury is considering making a mechanism available to provide clarity on the geographic coverage of the proposed regulations. Such mechanisms would likely help provide investors and companies with more clarity.

PSG in the lead for Renato Sanches
Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly hijacked Milan's move for Portuguese midfielder Renato Sanches. The 24-year-old was thought to be very close to making the move to Milan this summer after the two parties agreed personal terms earlier in the year.
L'Equipe and a number of other outlets reports that while nothing is completed yet, PSG have made contact with Lille over a move for Sanches.
Transfer journalist Matteo Moretto expands on the news, suggesting that Milan and the player have agreed terms, however the Rossoneri have offered €15m while Lille are aiming for €20m.
He also reports that for now, the deal is on standby as PSG have made contact with the players entourage and will make an official offer soon.
PSG are close to appointing Nice coach Christophe Galtier as Mauricio Pochettino's replacement and will wait until the appointment has taken place before moving for Sanches.
Sanches has a close relationship with both Galtier and new PSG sporting director Lucas Campos and that is thought to factor into the move.

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) dominated the Ongwediva Annual Trade Fair (OATF) this year, as different businesses participated in the week-long exhibition of products and services, Ongwediva spokesperson Andreas Uutoni said.
"The demand for exhibition space, both indoors and outdoors, remains high. In order to enhance exhibition excellence, a maximum number of 440 exhibitors were accommodated. During previous years, the OATF had accommodated up to 550 exhibitors, but that has proven to be a counter-productive exercise as it compromised the quality of exhibition due to overcrowding and space limitations," Uutoni noted.
The OATF 2015, under the theme 'Inspire Change to Build World-Class Business Leaders,' has lived up to expectations and consolidated its position and status as a leading multi-sectorial trade and business exposition. This year's trade fair was not only characterised by exceptional business promotional activities, but also by visible improvements in the quality of exhibitions as this trend could also be observed from micro-enterprises to corporate and public sector exhibitors.
The trade fair not only accommodated SMEs and the corporate and public sectors, but it also accomodated various exhibitors such as the Ministry of Agriculture, Water and Forestry; the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources; and the Oshikoto Regional Council, to mention but a few.
The number of visitors to the OATF has consistently grown, with a record number of 111 373 visitors recorded during OATF 2013. Although not surprising to the Preparatory Committee, the number by far exceeded expectations. The number represented an increase of 26% from the previous year. The preliminary number of visitors during OATF 2014, purely from the sales of entry tickets at the gates, was 4% less than the sales for 2013.
Preliminary figures for OATF 2015 do not look different from the figures recorded for OATF 2014. "We are, however, optimistic and confident that the final statistics shall be above 105 000, well above the threshold that we have set for ourselves, namely to maintain the visitor statistics above 100 000," beamed Uutoni.
The layout plan for exhibitions, the quality of exhibitions and the increase in the number of industrial exhibitors made an impact which distinguished OATF 2015 from all previous trade fairs. Thirty-nine (39) international exhibitors participated in the fair from countries such as South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Ghana, Egypt, Tanzania, China, Japan and Indonesia.
The OATF also plays as a local economy-booster by creating direct, temporary employment opportunities for youth as cashiers and supporting personnel, and also indirect employment, which is created through local service providers who are contracted for catering, security services, cleaning services, maintenance work, printing services and many more.
SMEs and small traders were also offered an opportunity to participate at the OATF at a subsidized fee of only N$250.00, and this allowed SME's and individuals to also have an opportunity to compete for food kiosks through competitive tender processes, and thus acquire a venue for trading in all types of food and beverages, which created business avenues and networks too.
The hospitality industry also serves as a great contributor to the local economy as it benefits greatly from the OATF, considering the fact that the overwhelming number of exhibitors are from outside the region and from all over the country.
Furthermore, the demand for exhibition space is on an increase, while the supply remains low in terms of what the OATF can offer. Likewise, the outbreak of Food-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) in the northern regions has negatively affected the planned livestock show at OATF 2015. OATF 2016 is expected to take place from August 26, 2016 to September 03, 2016.
According to Ongwediva Mayor Jason Asino, a comparison of the 2015 and 2014 trade fair shows that the number of exhibitors has increased enormously.
"We had a lot of exhibitors on our waiting list, because our space is limited, and we were unable to accommodate all exhibitors because most of these exhibitors are aware that the aim of the annual trade fair is to create revenue for SME's to become the main streams of the economy," said Asino.

I RESCUED THE CAT FROM THE STREETS 10 MONTHS AGO. HES 20 POUNDS, EATS WELL, I GIVE HIM ADVANTAGE FOR FLEAS, IUSE ERADAMITE IN HIS EARS, GIVE HIM OMEG-3 AND BRUSH HIM DAILY, YET HE SPENDS ALL HIS WAKING TIME GROOMING AND KNAWING AS IF HE HAS FLES OR BUGS. I HAVE ANOTHER CAT WHO ISN'T BOTHERED AND NO EVIDENCE OF BUGS IN THE HOUSE..
Does your cat have any lesions (red spots, flakiness, etc) anywhere?
Where does he seem to be the most itchy?
When did he last receive Advantage? How many times has he had advantage?
Hi Rich...just wanted to remind you that your question is here...You can click on the link below to reply to my questions.
DR. MARIE ASKED IF MI AMIGO HAS BEEN ON ADVANTAGE VERY LONG, AND MY ANSWER IS THE LAST TWO MONTHS; ALSO THERE ARE NO SKIN IRRATATIONS THAT I CAN SEE.
It certainly sounds like your cat is quite uncomfortable. I wish I could examine him to see if I could have a better idea as to what is going on. However, I can give you a few ideas.
You may be seeing signs of an allergy. While the most common allergy is fleas, we can probably rule this out because your cat is on Advantage which is an excellent flea product. It is also possible that he is allergic to his food. If so, he may need a trial of hypoallergenic food to see if this helps. By far the best hypoallergenic foods are those available at the vet's office. If this is working it may take 6-8 weeks for him to be better.
It is also possible that he is allergic to something in the environment which is harder to deal with. Most cats with environmental allergies need a small dose of steroids prescribed by the vet.
Another possibility is a parasite called Demodex Gattoi. However, if this were the case I would expect both cats to have it.
And then, we see some cats who can overgroom due to stress. Often the source of stress is never found. However, these cats are not usually chewing to the extreme that you have mentioned.
Ideally it would be best to have your vet take a look at him. They may be able to administer a steroid injection which should work for 4-6 weeks and if they feel it is warranted they will prescribe a hypoallergenic food. Or, you can try changing his food and see how things go and if there is no improvement in a few weeks then take him to the vet.
If you have more concerns, just hit reply below, scroll down and you can ask me any more questions you have about this concern!

Freighter threatens oil spill off Croatia
February 7, 2008 Posted in News
A burning Turkish cargo ship with 1,000 tonnes of crude oil aboard was drifting towards Croatia's Adriatic coast on Wednesday, threatening to pollute tourist beaches.
Firefighters, including Dutch experts in fighting ship fires, were trying to extinguish the blaze which broke out aboard the ship close to Croatian territorial waters early on Wednesday, officials said.
All 22 crew members and passengers had been rescued by a passing Greek ship and taken to Venice in Italy.
"The situation is dangerous but it's under control at the moment," Croatian Sea and Transport Minister Bozidar Kalmeta said before heading to the region.
" An additional difficulty is that the currents are carrying the ship towards the coast."
Emergency officials said that a northernly wind expected to start overnight was likely to keep the ship away from the coast. They also said that firefighters might be able to extinguish the blaze by Thursday.
"We know there are 1,000 tonnes of crude oil on the ship and small quantities of other dangerous materials," the minister said, without elaborating.
He said he believed there was no danger of an explosion aboard the ship but warned a blast would have "disastrous consequences", state news agency Hina reported.
A five-man team of firefighters from the Netherlands with experience in fighting ship fires arrived in Croatia and was flown by helicopter to help Croatian firefighters at the scene. The team was hired by Turkish shipowner.
"The ship's stern is completely destroyed, while its prow is still burning," Kalmeta's ministry said in an earlier statement.
The statement said the 193-metre (633 ft)-long ship Und Adriyatik was sailing from Istanbul to Trieste carrying "200 trucks and nine tonnes of dangerous material".
Tug boats were cooling the shell of the Turkish ship to prevent it from melting and allowing the ship's cargo to pollute the sea.
The accident happened 13 nautical miles west of the northern Adriatic town of Rovinj. The cause of the fire was not immediately known.
Croatia's economy is driven by tourism. The country declared a protected zone off its coast last month to conserve fish stocks and counter any pollution threat from the hundreds of oil tankers passing by annually on their way to ports including Trieste.

Abstract: 我們針對雷射曝光蝕刻技術中,光罩coating材質為Al的金屬光罩,做可行性及耐用性的評估分析,也因應金屬光罩的coating層所需之高抵抗雷射能力的特性,探討比較了具有高反射率,良好熱傳性質的Al薄膜以及更堅韌,熱物理性質更優異的Al-Ni合金薄膜,應用在金屬光罩的coating層上的改質性能表現。 首先利用量測薄膜經雷射照射後的穿透率變化,來界定薄膜臨界損傷狀態。然後對不同厚度的Al薄膜(2 μm和1 μm)以及厚度為1 μm的Al(3.5 wt.% Ni)合金薄膜,做薄膜抗雷射實驗。發現比較厚的薄膜(2 μm)和添加了Ni的合金薄膜,會有較佳的抗雷射能力,而薄膜表面破壞型態也會有所差異,並對其影響機制提出解釋。 We estimate feasibility and life time of Al metal mask that applied to technology of etching and Laser Writing. According to coating layer of metal mask that have high characteristics of resisting laser ability, we compare Al film that have high reflectivity and good heat conductivity with Al-Ni alloy film that have better hardness and heat performance, that apply to coating layer of metal mask. First, we determine the threshold damage condition of thin film by measure change of penetration of thin film after laser irradiate. Then to the different thickness's Al thin film (2 μm and 1 μm) as well as thickness is 1 μm Al (3.5 wt.% Ni) thin film, does the thin film anti-laser experiment. We find that thick thin film (2 μm) and increased the Ni alloy film, will have the good anti-laser ability, but the thin film surface damage state will also have a difference, and we will propose the explanation to its influence mechanism.

25 December 2017 – The Depok Police in West Java have arrested dozens of individuals for their alleged roles in looting a clothing store in the city in the wee hours on Sunday.
"We have arrested 24 people. 23 men and one woman," Depok Police Criminal Investigation Department head Comr. Putu Kholis said in a statement on Monday.
He added that the suspects were arrested at separate times and locations.
The Police confiscated a number pieces of evidence, including six motorcycles and sharp weapons, as well as dozens of looted pieces of clothing.
November 20, 2017: Last night, a group of people in Naarm / Melbourne, responding to the call out for 8 Days of Solidarity for Refugees, undertook an action targeting Serco.
Serco is a multinational corporation which is directly responsible for the inhumane incarceration conditions faced by refugees, asylum seekers, and detainees, in so-called Australia. Serco is also a major player in the international privatised prison complex.
The group gained access to a central Naarm / Melbourne, Serco compound and immobilised 7 vehicles. The group also left spray-painted messages on Serco compound property, including vehicles, reading "Serco Psycho Scum", "Serco, profiting from refugee detention- this is war", and "Serco profits from misery, we hold YOU responsible".
15 December 2017 – Just a day before Hamilton Senior High School was set to close its doors for the last time, a vandal has broken into the school and caused about $5000 damage.
The final bell for Hamilton Senior High School rang on Thursday, and the building was set to officially close on Friday.
However police say an unknown offender gained entry to the building on Purvis Street in the early hours of Friday morning and set fire to a number of bins inside the school.
While there was no structural damage to the building, the damage cost is estimated at around $5000.
Police spokeswoman Susan Usher said the fire was being treated as deliberate.
The investigation comes just days after vandals trashed another Perth school.
Around 25 windows at Carlisle Primary School were broken during an attack on the weekend, and students in year one, two and three had to be shifted to the art room and library for their final week of classes.
Dec 14, 2017 – Perth prison staff have been threatened by inmates who destroyed property during an out-of-control rampage at Western Australia's main remand facility.
Special operations group officers were called to Hakea Prison late on Wednesday when seven out-of-control inmates trashed part of a wing and made threats against staff.
No injuries have been reported and the Department of Justice will review the incident.
Secretary of the WA Prison Officers Union, John Welch, says the incident highlights the urgent need for the state government to fix "chronic overcrowding" in WA prisons.
Mr Welch said Hakea was about 300 prisoners above design capacity, with the majority of inmates double-bunked.
He said a new prison was desperately needed as WA's adult prison population rapidly increased from 4964 to 6776 over the past five years, according to Department of Justice statistics.
"We understand and are sympathetic to (the government's) financial plight but our members deserve to be working in a safe environment," Mr Welch said.
The number of prisoners on remand has also skyrocketed, up from 1754 to 2002 in the past year.
Corrective Services Minister Fran Logan congratulated prison staff for handling the incident quickly and with minimal damage.
Damaged cells will be up and running tomorrow, a Department of Justice spokesperson said.
Evacuate Manus. Your Inaction Is Blood On Your Hands. Refugees Welcome.
These actions were undertaken in solidarity with the refugee men on Manus, who for years now have fought against the brutal 'refugee policy' of the Australian and PNG States.


This film is what happens when you bake a demented little cake of anarchy in a punk rock easy bake oven and sprinkle with Pink Floyd rainbow sprinkles. This was our Senior Thesis Film from Pratt Institute '06. It went on to receive many awards and even appeared in the 366 Weird Movies of All Time list.


In the aftermath of an anarchic uprising, a group of revolutionaries flee London for the north, coming to terms with the violent loss of their companions, battling with illness and a new way of life.
In the forests of the Scottish borders, they meet Mikhail, a Ukrainian immigrant in touch with powers they can scarcely believe. But is he all he seems? Because the snows are coming, the seasons turn, and the laws of the cities mean little to the woods.
In Dan Grace's debut novella a violent future of the failed Union meets the mythic and pagan past. As man reaps the harvest of war, utopian hopes vie with apocalyptic fears. Winter sets in.
Dan Grace lives with his partner and son in Sheffield. When he isn't writing he works as a librarian and is studying (very slowly...) towards a PhD examining the role of libraries in building a commons-based community resilience. You can follow him on Tumblr (http://deeronthecurve.tumblr.com) or Twitter (@deeronthecurve).

To ensure patient care is safely and efficiently coordinated among qualified providers, the American Academy of Ambulatory Care Nursing (AAACN) and the Medical-Surgical Nursing Certification Board (CCTM) certification exam. The exam will be developed and administered by MSNCB based on AAACN's Care Coordination and Transition Management Core Curriculum. Exam development will begin immediately and is expected to be ready in early fall 2015.
To better prepare RNs for a CCTM role in which they must manage patients with complex health care needs from an access, quality, and cost perspective, AAACN conducted a two-year expert panel translational research process spearheaded by longtime AAACN leaders Sheila A. Haas, PhD, RN, FAAN, Beth Ann Swan, PhD, CRNP, FAAN, and Traci S. Haynes, MSN, RN, BA, CEN. The result was the creation of evidence-based CCTM core competencies, a core curriculum text, and 13-module online course, which is scheduled for release this August. The CCTM exam is the next step in this process. "This is a perfect marriage between acute and ambulatory care," concluded MSNCB President Mimi Haskins, MS, RN, CMSRN.

Shamitabh gets a U/A certificate
Created: Feb 3, 2015 - 08:21 IST
Though the Amitabh Bachchan, Dhanush, Akshara Haasan starrer Shamitabh did not face a lot of censor struggle, the film recently got a U/A certificate but with a few cuts. The film, which deals with the egos of two men, has been given the green signal by the Censor Board of Film Certification but at the same time, the authorities have asked to cut a few expletives from the film.
The use of certain abusive words like m*******d and b*******d have been asked to remove and the makers have been asked to replace them with other words. The new chairperson of CBFC Pahlaj Nihalani has maintained that all films that will be using cuss words will be facing strict censorship and now, most of these words in the dialogues of Shamitabh has been asked to do away with. Also, certain scenes like the one where Dhanush is seen showing a middle finger along with two other sequences have been asked to chop off from the film. Despite, the changes, filmmaker R. Balki is happy about the censor board's decision and even stated that the screening held for the Censor Board was a smooth ride.
Produced by Eros International along with Gauri Shinde, Abhishek Bachchan, R. K Damani and Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, Shamitabh is slated to release on February 6, 2015.

Labor Day became a national holiday in 1894, under president Grover Cleveland. The holiday had been celebrated as a "workingmen's holiday" by labor unions since 1882. Many states made the holiday official soon after, but only after the infamous Pullman Strike did the president and congress move to make it a national holiday. The holiday honors working people and labor unions as well as to memorialize their struggles in the past.
In many other parts of the world it's the first day of May (May Day) that celebrates workers and labor unions. In the U.S., May Day became the traditional "beginning of Spring" holiday because during the Cold War era the Soviet and Eastern Block countries essentially annexed the holiday.
Labor Day is also a landmark time for football fans. The college football season usually starts the weekend prior to Labor Day and the NFL begins it's regular season the week following Labor Day. (Miami University was drubbed by Mizzou and USC edged out University of Minnesota–Doc's alma maters) 2014 update: Miami was drubbed by Marshall (I'm seeing a pattern here) and Minnesota crushed Eastern Illinois.
For the fashion conscious Labor Day traditionally marks the time where you put away your white clothing.
Michigan has a 54 year long tradition of walking the Mackinac Bridge on Labor Day. The governor leads the 5 mile walk across the Straits of Mackinac and if you're lucky enough to be one of 400 names drawn you can run the 5 mile bridge run.
Perhaps most importantly, Labor Day signals the end of summer. Here in Michigan, it's the last big tourist weekend and it's even law that public schools cannot begin their school year until after Labor Day!
So there you have it. A short primer about Labor Day. That's a lot of information for me to throw at you just to let you know that we won't be open on September 5th. We will re-open on September 6th with our normal schedule. We hope that you enjoy your holiday weekend, and we hope you have a wonderful autumn 2011!
Since 1916, Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest in Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York City supposedly started as a way to settle a dispute among four immigrants as to who was the most patriotic.

I am new to this ArcGIS Map. I am developing an application where we are using a user token instead of passing username and password in User Credentials.
I am stuck at this point. What do I really have to pass in as a parameter for referral? I tried passing null and empty string as a parameter but I get an error message saying "token or referral cannot be empty string"
I am going to make the assumption that you are generating the token through ArcGIS Online and not ArcGIS Server.
The referer string that is either the name of the application consuming the secure service or any other client identification string that is appropriate for the application. It is required that the referer string that was used to generate the token be supplied to this method.

Maj. Joel Dillon and Deana Archambault of the U.S. Army's Natick Labs assist U.S. Rep. Niki Tsongas in trying on a lightweight body armor designed for women during the Feb. 7 launch of the HEROES initiative at UMass Lowell.
Imagine designing better parachutes by understanding how air flows through fabrics; protecting soldiers by developing flame- and heat-resistant clothing made from renewable, environmentally friendly raw materials; providing portable, lightweight power sources in the field using nanomaterials-based solar cells and making meal rations last longer and easier to prepare for troops on the move.
These are just some of the collaborative projects that researchers from UMass Lowell and their counterparts from the U.S. Army's Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center (NSRDEC), known locally as Natick Labs, will be working on as part of a new research and development initiative.
Called HEROES — Harnessing Emerging Research Opportunities to Empower Soldiers — the effort aims to enhance military members' survivability, sustainability, mobility, combat effectiveness and quality of life in the field.
The partnership was formally launched Feb. 7 at an event at UMass Lowell. Speakers included U.S. Rep. Niki Tsongas, Lt. Gov. Tim Murray, Chancellor Marty Meehan, NSRDEC Director Jack Obusek, UMass President Robert Caret and 1st Sgt. Brian Gemmill, a Natick Labs employee who has served combat tours in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
"HEROES will result in the development of new technologies and new thinking about ways to provide cutting-edge capabilities to our soldiers. The collaboration is a testament to the great value the Army places on our being located in Massachusetts and takes our partnership with UMass Lowell to a new level. As a former soldier and father of a soldier, I am grateful to be able to tap into the ideas of the best and brightest the Commonwealth has to offer, and turn those ideas into reality for soldiers," Obusek told the audience.
Spearheading the initiative are Natick Labs Chief Scientist Lynne Samuelson '90, who earned her Ph.D. at UMass Lowell and is an adjunct faculty member; Julie Chen, UMass Lowell's vice provost for research; and Plastics Engineering Assoc. Prof. Ramaswamy Nagarajan. Through HEROES, the partners will work together to secure research funding.
The joint research will be conducted both at Olney Hall on North Campus and at Natick Labs. HEROES' 5,000-square-foot campus space includes laboratories, offices, conference rooms and a "think tank" area where researchers will work side-by-side, brainstorming new ideas. The initiative will also benefit from access to state-of-the-art equipment at UMass Lowell's new, $80 million Mark and Elisia Saab Emerging Technologies and Innovation Center, as well as the wide range of expertise provided by University faculty and student researchers, including the fields of nanomanufacturing, plastics engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, physics and chemistry.
Meanwhile, unique Natick facilities such as the Doriot Climatic Chambers will be made available to UMass Lowell researchers. The chambers can simulate virtually every climate or environmental conditions in the world to test the performance of humans, materials and equipment.
"The research and development that will happen in these labs will result in benefits not just to our troops in the field but also to companies in the region, as they commercialize the resulting new products and technologies," said Chen.

Harry Worrall was born on 20 November and baptised on 13 December 1896 at St Alban's Church, Macclesfield, the son of Jane and Charles Worrall, a silk mill piecer. Harry was educated at Lord Street School and attended Park Street Chapel.
In 1901, at the age of four, Harry was living at 1 Waller Street, Macclesfield, next door to the Gilday family, with his parents, older brother Arthur (6) and younger sister Harriet (2). Harry's mother worked at home as a silk hemmer.
In 1911 the family had expanded to include Charles (19), Arthur (16), Harry (14), Harriet (11), Nellie (9), John (7) and Frank (3), all still living with their parents at 1 Waller Street, a four-room property. Harry had left school and working as an embroiderer's minder. Five members of the family were employed and all were working in the silk industry.
Harry enlisted in Macclesfield on 23rd November 1914 and after training was drafted with the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force to Egypt; here he was engaged in the battle of Gaza, and also saw action in Palestine. The battalion stayed here until they were transferred to the Western Front in June 1918.
The battalion progressed to the Ypres Salient and in October 1918 were involved in action with the 4th Battalion Cheshire Regiment who on the 24th October were in attack in the area south of Courtrai, just east of the Courtrai-Bossuyt Canal. The 4th Battalion cleared the whole front of the Canal from Knocke southwards and gained the final objectives on the Sheldt by dusk the same evening. During the night previous to this attack, the 7th Battalion cleared the park of Bossuyt Chateau, and made two very gallant but unsuccessful attempts to cross the Canal at locks 3 and 4. They eventually succeeded in doing so in the afternoon of the 25th October, joining hands with the companies of the 4th battalion which had moved to the S.E. face of Moen village.
Private Harry Worrall is buried at grave ref. VD7 in Tournai Communal Cemetery Allied Extension, Hainaut, Belgium. Harry's parents asked for the inscription "TOO GOOD IN LIFE TO BE FORGOTTEN IN DEATH R.I.P." to be added to his headstone. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission holds casualty details for Harry Worrall, and he is listed on the Imperial War Museum's Lives of the First World War website.
In Macclesfield, Private Harry Worrall is commemorated on the Park Green, Town Hall, St Michael's Church and St George's Church war memorials.
Brother of Arthur Worrall, who served as Private 466023 with the 550th Labour Corps.

Q: ¿Por que no me permite enviar datos de mi propia aplicación desde la carpeta de instalación? Saludo, intento enviar un archivo almacenado en mi carpeta SDCARD, pero al ejecutar mi código me dice ningún programa puede hacer esto. Por favor alguien podría indicar y si es posible corregidme para solucionar mi problema. Gracias. El código mostrado es del entorno de android studio.

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main6);

        String[] mailto = {"ing.eo@hotmail.com"};
        Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath(),xlsname ));

DESDE EL EMULADOR:

entonces tendría almacenado el siguiente archivo así:

Lo anterior lo hice con la función: getFilesDir()
Hasta aquí no tengo problemas. Sin embargo ahora vienen:
El siguiente código acceso a mi carpeta "micarpeta" para que adjunte mi archivo "miarchivocreado.xls" pero no me lo adjunta. Ése es mi problema. El código modificado es el siguiente:

¿Cuál es el motivo de que no me adjunte los datos de mi propia aplicación? es decir no estoy accediendo a datos de otra aplicación para que se considere algo malo, es que necesito descargar datos en formato excel desde mi aplicativo.

A: Prueba esto:
String SD_CARD_PATH = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();
new File(SD_CARD_PATH + "/" + xlsname);

A: Como enviar un archivo excel :
Primeramente es importante mencionar que si usas sistema operativo Android 6.0 o posterior, debes requerir el permiso WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE manualmente, no es suficiente definirlo dentro del archivo AndroidManifest.xml, aquí un ejemplo de como realizarlo:
Error al mostrar el directorio externo de archivos en un AlertDialog en android 6.0 (READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE / WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE )
esto puede ser una causa de tu problema.
Si tienes definido el permiso mencionado anteriormente, debes revisar que la ruta donde se contiene el archivo sea correcta, en este caso el archivo se encuentra en la ruta correcta del almacenamiento externo, para esto puedes imprimir la ruta:
Log.i(TAG, "PATH: " + Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath());

También es importante revisar que el archivo exista!, en el caso de usar como ruta Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() , tu archivo se debe encontrar dentro de:
/storage/emulated/0/archivo32.xls

Este sería el código de un ejemplo de como enviar un archivo .xls usando createChooser():
String fileName ="tests-example.xls";
String MIME_TYPE = "application/excel";

        Log.i(TAG, "PATH: " + Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() +"/Android/data/");

        String[] mailto = {"correo@gmail.com"};

        Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() +"/Android/data/", fileName ));
        Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);

        emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, mailto);
        emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Mi reporte");
        emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,"Envio mi archivo excel. ");
        emailIntent.setType(MIME_TYPE);
        emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
        startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Selecciona como deseas enviar el archivo:"));

Knicks fans are going to love them some Ronny Turiaf
By Kurt HelinAug 16, 2010, 2:58 PM EDT
It's hard not to love Ronny Turiaf because he loves the game.
It was almost taken away from him, and now he plays with the attitude fans want to see — he goes hard every night, and he cheers like mad from the sideline. He dances. He cares.
And he wants the Knicks to win. Not wants but will forcefully insist, as he told SLAM magazine.
"We're going to play team basketball. We are going to be playing together and everybody moving in the same direction. We are all here to win basketball games–not to lose. That's something that people need to understand is that we will do whatever it takes, whatever we have to do to make that happen. I have talked to plenty of guys on the team already. I was on vacation with Gallo [Danillo Gallinari]. I have been working out with Stoudamire every day. I have worked out with Toney Douglas. I have talked to Wilson Chandler, Raymond Felton. And of course my two partners from Golden State Azubuike and Randy [Anthony Randolph]. So I've been in contact with a lot of those guys and I think they are excited and there is one key word: winning."
We're not kidding, Knicks fans are going to love this guy.
