On Friday, April 29th, I sat in the rear of the 12th floor banquet hall at IIE's New York Headquarters, humbled to be a part of the 2016 Scholar Rescue Fund Forum, "Scholar Voices and University Action." Surrounding me were highly accomplished individuals from education, human rights and government sectors, paired with persecuted scholars from all around the globe, each with a story to tell and a profound determination to make an impactful change.
Last week, the British Council held its annual "Going Global" conference for the first time in Africa. It was a good opportunity for all of us to meet with colleagues who bring different perspectives on the most urgent challenges facing higher education today. An IIE team member, Caitlin McNamara, who works on the Fulbright Scholar program, had an IIE Traveling Fellowship to attend and present a poster session on the impact of the Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program. I was invited to offer some perspective on the role of higher education in today's refugee crisis on a panel with European and Lebanese colleagues. In war zones, and in crisis zones under repressive regimes, the international community often thinks first of humanitarian aid, providing food, shelter, and medicine to displaced persons and others. Education usually comes last. At IIE, we have been working to help students and scholars in crisis, so I welcomed the chance to join this conversation.
The conflict in Syria has become the 21st century's worst humanitarian crisis. The numbers are staggering:
Combined, that's over half of Syria's pre-war population.
The Institute of International Education (IIE) recently released new Open Doors data showing that the number of international students coming to the United States had jumped by 10 per cent to total almost 1 million students from more than 200 countries.
Zina Ammar grew up in Gafsa, Tunisia, where she learned how to make the region's famous Margoum carpets from the women in her family. Zina eventually started her own carpet-making business, but her lack of confidence and business skills limited her success. Hoping to grow her business, Zina enrolled in Leadership, Entrepreneurship and Financial Education trainings at the Women's Enterprise for Sustainability (WES) Center for Women's Business Development in her community.
Chadleya Idriss began making toys for her children using recycled wood, which was "safer, more environmentally friendly, and more affordable than store-bought toys," she explains. Chadleya went to the WES Center for Women's Business Development in Kairouan, Tunisia, with a dream of starting a toy business. She participated in the WES entrepreneurship training and worked closely with the WES Center staff to conduct market research on the local toy industry. Last November, Chadleya launched her new business, Toy Story.
Our experience suggests that fragile states cannot succeed without major investments in higher education. Accordingly, neglecting academic needs during and after armed conflict raises the risk of failure once peace is restored—with security implications for the rest of the world. As noted by IIE Vice President Daniela Kaisth, "there is widespread recognition that education at all levels must be protected during war for the vital role it plays in preserving leadership, stabilizing societies, and once conflict subsides, rebuilding peaceful and prosperous communities."
Senator J. William Fulbright was a Rhodes Scholar, and the experience gave him the idea that more Americans ought to have the opportunity to study abroad. We know where that led, of course.
You probably have never heard of the Global Platform for Syrian Students. I hadn't heard of them either until about two years ago when the President of Carnegie Corporation of New York, Dr. Vartan Gregorian, introduced us.
It was a real lesson in globalization. The airplane announcement went something like this:
"The local authorities have asked us to spray the cabin to prevent the spread of disease by mosquitos. Please do not breathe in if you are allergic to spraying. And due to the recent outbreaks of Ebola, MERS, H1N1, and bird flu, please report to local authorities upon landing if you have any of the following symptoms: ..." You can imagine the list.
For more than nine decades, the Institute of International Education has been at the forefront of international education. The Opening Minds blog is IIE's take on how this field continues to change. Here the Institute's leaders will explore international educational exchange, global student mobility, institutional partnerships, international development, and other topics and trends that are shaping higher education around the world.

I have a (ViewResult) Controller which receives a string parameter, generates a PDF file, and sends the PDF file back to the browser. I've tested the controller itself, and it works fine. Unfortunately, when I try to post to this controller from the $.ajax jQuery function (passing a simple string), the Controller always receives the string parameter as null. I've tried a hundred different configurations of the $.ajax function. Here's the controller, which returns a PDF to the browser (it works...as long as I create the HTML within the method):
public ActionResult HtmlToPdf(String htmlData)
{ }
Here's the jQuery I'm using in my view (triggered by a button click):
function getPdf() {
var htmlData = "blah, blah, etc.";
url: '/Home/HtmlToPdf',
type: 'post',
data: JSON.stringify(htmlData),
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
success: handleSuccess,
error: handleError
I've tried 'post', 'get', json, text, html, stringify, different content types, etc. Does anyone know how to correctly send a string (the var 'htmlData' above) to a controller? Post? Get? Something else? Thanks.

Auditor praises Vt. action on tax districtsMay 20,2013MONTPELIER Vermont State Auditor Doug Hoffer is praising lawmakers for passing legislation to clean up glitches in the states so-called tax increment financing program.
Tax increment financing is a public financing method that provides communities with a means to fund redevelopment and infrastructure improvements. A community is allowed to borrow money against the future growth in property tax revenue within a designated TIF district that is made possible by the improvements.
Last year, then-Auditor Tom Salmon issued a report saying that some cities and towns had not handled their TIF districts properly and therefore owed money to the state education fund a finding disputed by the municipalities.
Hoffer said the bill passed by lawmakers should clear up ambiguities in the law that likely contributed to the problems.MORE IN Vermont NewsPHILADELPHIA Vermonts delegation to the Democratic National Convention took center stage...

Publisher's Description
If the idea of walking with Jesus doesn't make you uncomfortable, you haven't thought seriously enough about His presence in your life.
The passed-down, packaged Jesus turns out to be quite different from the one who steps alive and kicking out of the pages of Scripture. Author, pastor, and radio teacher Chip Ingram outlines what it takes to follow this renegade Jesus toward the idea of holy ambition. Stretching outside of your comfortable existence is just the beginning.
This newly updated edition will bolster dislocated hearts and turn broken spirits toward radical, faith-filled strategies that make a difference for God right now.

DJG5 Stars Out Of 5Faith GrowingJuly 1, 2016DJGQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5I think that every member of every church should read this book and do this study. It affirms what our faith should be and how to live Christ crucified to the fullest extent of our abilities.
Highly recommend this book for small groups and especially church leadership
Bekah5 Stars Out Of 5Super bookJanuary 30, 2015BekahQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5LOVE Chip's instructions - starting with yourself, focusing on God and deepening your relationship with him - moving step by step through the process to get your dream off the ground. All this built on the foundation laid in Nehemiah. And once your dream is in action, there will be challenges and pitfalls - Chip covers these too. Don't have a dream? Not to worry, pray for one! This book is inspiring but also intensely practical. It provides a thorough toolbox for getting out to DO God's work.

WagnerAge: 55-65Gender: maleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This book starts with a biblical premise that all too often is taken out of context based on 2 Chronicles 16:9a so that it is a comforting statement when within its context it shows how one king of Israel created problems for himself. Weaving this verse throughout the book and using Nehemiah as his biblical basis and example, Mr. Ingram carefully shows Christians why they walk in weakness rather than in the full strength that is available to them as they seek to develop holy ambition in their lives. Each chapter explains and illustrates the aspects of the development of holy ambition and gives careful instruction as to how to implement them in our lives. Using plenty of biblical illustrations and evidences, as well as personal experiences through his pastoral experience and the lives of others, he not only shows us how to get onto the path but how to continue on this path to Christlikeness and service to the Lord. This book will challenge the hearts and lives of the reader to a deeper walk with the Lord.

I had been talking to a co-worker about how we sometimes talk ourselves into believing our vision is really God's. The video at this lesson and all the questions pointed at the fact that I was trying to force my vision on God and I had to begin the study again with God's abmition as my focus and not mine.

A man may be running a scam on Athens businesses by posing as an exterminator, according to Athens-Clarke police.
An employee of the Bread Basket convenience store on Boulevard told police that a tall, slim, well-dressed black man in his 50s said Sunday he'd placed rat poison near a trash receptacle, charged $50 and handed over a receipt with no letterhead, according to a police report. The store owner later said he hadn't called a pest control company, according to the report.
Police said a similar scam recently was reported at a Subway, and the two could be related.

Long time computer science professor at the University of Central Oklahoma; mostly involved with teaching C++ (for 22 years now), and getting people to use Linux. I've been using Ubuntu Linux since 2008 and have always liked it (but not too happy with 12.04). I like to program -- I like large screens and familiar tools (and full size keyboards) -- and so for 12.04 I use Xubuntu (at one office). Right now at home I use 12.04 w unity. Trying to get used to it...it certainly LOOKS good.

Does anyone share my interest in Textile 2 as demo'd here?
What I especially like is the ability to get the ugly URL's out of your text. With textile 2 you replace link URL's and image URL's with codes you can refer to at the end. It allows you to write this:
"Check out this page":1 for a clear explanation of when and how to use the right hand rule(s).
The image below shows another perspective from "hyperphysics":2
Instead of this
Check out this page for a clear explanation of when and how to use the right hand rule(s).
The image below shows another perspective from hyperphysics
<img src="http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/magnetic/imgmag/rthnd.gif" alt="Image" />
I think this is a great advantage on WP when we are composing in these little text boxes. It seems like a great opportunity to leverage both WP and Textile 2 by enhancing WP's default compose box with Textile 2.
There is a WP plugin for Textile 2 available but it has not been updated in a while and does not support image URL like [4] in the example above.
Does anyone else know of a better way to use Textile 2 in WordPress? Does anyone know of other efforts underway?
If this looks interesting to you I encourage you to check out Textile 2. My compliments to the man behind Textile and the folks who wrapped it up for WordPress.

One of Gwyn's Four Knights and the group's only female member, Ciaran laid waste to Gwyn's enemies through assassination and subterfuge. She makes her appearance in Oolacile in the additional content. After the death of Knight Artorias, she is found paying her respects to her friend. She requests that the player give her the Soul of Artorias. If obliged, she gives you her two weapons, the Dark Silver Tracer and Gold Tracer.
It is implied through her dialogue, and the fact that the Hornet Ring is found behind Artorias' grave on a female corpse in the base game, that she was very close to the fallen knight and possibly had romantic feelings for him.
Royal Wood
In the room where you fought Knight Artorias. Appears only if you leave the general vicinity through loading screens (or just quit and reload the game) and you have the Soul of Artorias in your inventory.
- Gifts you Gold Tracer and Dark Silver Tracer if you give her the Soul of Artorias. Note that she will drop these weapons if you kill her, so only trade the Soul of Artorias if you do not plan to kill her.
|New Game
- Porcelain Mask
- Lord's Blade Robe
- Lord's Blade Gloves
- Lord's Blade Waistcloth
- Gold Tracer and Dark Silver Tracer if you didn't give her the Soul of Artorias
- Speaking to her and refusing to give her Soul of Artorias may cause her to disappear and never return for the duration of the current playthrough. If you plan to kill her, do it immediately after talking to her.
- Ciaran will not parry the player in combat. The Gold Tracer, when equipped in the left hand, doesn't have a parrying action.
- If you wish to kill her or simply don't care, killing her is advisable since you gain everything she gives you if you don't kill her plus her armour and you keep Artorias' soul.
- The name Ciaran is Gaelic for "small black one". However, Ciaran is the masculine version of the name (fem. "Ciara"). Why an obviously female character has a male name is not known.
- What appears to be her hair is actually part of her headgear.

Florida state lawmakers are calling for a crackdown on preventable concussions.
Each year, some 140,000 high school athletes sustain serious head injuries.
Tuesday, a coalition of sports professionals, doctors and parents launched a statewide campaign called "Mind Your Brain" focused on raising awareness about traumatic brain injuries.
Supporters want the legislature to pass a bill requiring coaches to pull players out of the game if they notice any sign of concussion.
One high school athlete says a mandate like that could have prevented a concussion he suffered during a soccer game last year.
"I mean, I worked so hard to make varsity and i was, the whole year, I mean, I was playing behind great seniors, but at the same time I'm kind of just like, on my toes on the bench ready to hop in and do my best if I ever get called, so this opportunity comes up and I didn't want to let it go and I got hurt," said David Goldstein.
The legislation would require the state high school athletic association and private youth sports groups to adopt the concussion policy.

CD Receiver
When Convenience isn't Enough, Versatility and Quality Make a Better Choice
Take the lead from one of the world's most quality-conscious audio markets. In Japan, Onkyo mini systems have captured the public's interest in a major way: the audio quality and eye-catching designs of our "one box" components have become the benchmark for sound and style. The CS-320 CD receiver system is a true representative of the success of Onkyo mini systems in Japan, and its prowess can now be appreciated in Europe, too. By incorporating Onkyo's Wide Range Amplifier Technology (WRAT)--a benefit many would expect to find only in separate components--you're looking at a system that will handle the peaks and lows of any music source. Also, Optimum Gain Volume Circuitry minimizes noise at low volumes, keeping your music signal untainted. The stunningly attractive high-gloss piano finish of the D-B8 speakers' MDF construction is a pleasure to behold. But it's just one of a range of enhancements: A 13-cm, A-OMF diaphragm woofer copes with the wide dynamic range of digital music sources; an Aero Acoustic Drive ensures a spacious, responsive sound; and a V-Line Edge suppresses any vibrations that can negatively affect your music. With the clean appeal of an aluminum front panel and ergonomic qualities, the CS-320 makes for an ideal addition to any lifestyle.

Orange County (Fla.) Public Schools prepares for the new school year with a week of training on such topics as driving safety, security awareness and customer service.
Planning and practice can prevent transportation troubles on the first day of school. Bus prep, dry runs and parent contact are some of the key steps for a successful start.
Atlanta Public Schools officials say that the practice will help drivers become familiar with their routes and will improve accuracy of timing during current traffic patterns.
Indian River (Del.) School District will implement new daily starting and ending times for several district schools. The district is trying to accommodate an increase in student enrollment and the rollout of full-day kindergarten, which have put a strain on the transportation system in recent years.
Atlanta Public Schools conducts a district-wide review of its transportation system and takes in feedback on issues that have arisen since school started. The result is more buses, more stops and more crossing guards "to ensure that all students travel to and from their schools in a safe and efficient manner," district officials say.
The City Department of Transportation Services will increase city bus service on four routes. A transit official says that the move aims to ensure that students "won't be stranded when school starts."

Houma shooting injures one
A shooting t near the intersection of Main and Morgan streets in Houma left a 17-year-old injured, Houma Police said.
Officers responding about 7 p.m. to reports of gunfire in the area found shell casings and blood but no victims or gunmen, said Sgt. Kyle Faulk.
The 17-year-old was found at Terrebonne General Medical Center, in stable condition, with a gunshot wound to the arm, Faulk said.
Details of the incident remain sketchy. Anyone with information can call Bayou Region Crime Stoppers at 1-800-743-7433.
Pair charged with growing pot
A couple were arrested Saturday night after Lafourche Narcotics Task Force agents found 38 marijuana plants in their Raceland home.
Deputies were called to the home, 4047 La. 308, about 10:15 p.m., authorities said. Forty-seven-year-old Patricia Savoie Chauvin had called about a domestic disturbance involving her ex-husband, 51-year-old Cornel Chauvin, complaining that he hit her. When police were in the home, they saw the marijuana plants, 2- to 5-feet tall.
The plants were later found to be worth about $57,000, officials said. Patricia told deputies the plants were her ex-husband's, though both are charged with cultivation and possession with intent to distribute marijuana.
Patricia also had an outstanding warrant for failure to appear in court. Cornel is charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and domestic-abuse battery.
Patricia was in the Lafourche jail in lieu of a $5,100 bond. Cornel was released after posting a $5,500 bond.
Teen allegedly texts ex threats
A man accused of texting death threats to a former girlfriend was jailed Sunday by Houma Police.
Clint Eugene Chauvin, 18, 133 Bon Jovi Blvd., Gray, was charged with terrorizing, said information officer Sgt. Kyle Faulk.
The girlfriend told officers that after his recent release from prison in Mississippi, Chauvin had first texted her suggesting that they get together to resume their relationship.
When she rejected Chauvin's overtures, she said, he sent text messages threatening to "find her at night and shoot her in the head," along with other violent threats against her family and friends, according to police. Chauvin was arrested at his home.
Neighbor 'set my shoes on fire'
A mother who found her son's shoes burning in a neighbor's yard Sunday called authorities to complain.
Terrebonne sheriff's investigators issued a summons to Steven Anthony Burns, 46, 140 Vicksland Court, Houma, charging him with simple criminal damage to property and aggravated assault.
The mother told deputies her young son left with friends to walk to another nearby residence but returned in about 10 minutes to tell her that the neighbor "set my shoes on fire."
The report did not detail any confrontation between Burns and the boy or how Burns got possession of the shoes.

Comment Re: Read some Engels (Score 1, Insightful) 457
Marx and Engels big mistake was in not realizing that despite the abuse heaped upon them, the powers that be at that time recognized at the very least that the notion of class struggle as a driver of history had at least some merits. Marx fully expected a series of revolutions in the latter half of the 19th century, and in some cases it almost came true, but then suddenly you see several nations, even the Austro-Hungarian Empire, for goodness sake, enacting liberal constitutions. In Britain, in particular, within 20 years of the Communist Manifesto's release, the Reform Act of 1867 greatly expanded the voting franchise, enfranchising a large number of working class members. This inoculated a good deal of Europe against any kind of Socialist Revolution.
What went really wrong for Marx's economic and political theories was that first Communist states were fundamentally agrarian states; Russia and China. These, even by Marx's own theories, were not yet at a point of economic evolution that they should become Communist, and in fact, the Communist rulers of these states, to keep with Marxist ideas of evolution, had to introduce vast industrial programs, almost trying to create a Bourgeois middle class just so they could fulfill the checkboxes on Communist revolution. The industrialized states that became Communist were pretty much the states that the Soviet Union forced into its sphere after the Second World War, and who had initially gained their industrial capacity through fundamentally capitalist means.
No one has ever actually seen a Communist revolution the way Marx foresaw such a revolution happening, mainly because, as I say above, the Western nations, whether intentionally or by accident, liberalized sufficiently that the working classes could join political parties, or form new ones (like the Labour Party in Britain). I like to imagine that Disraeli, crafty fox that he was, was at least partially cognizant of the potential for a revolution if Westminster didn't let at least some of the lower classes in, and it wasn't all about just taking the piss out of Gladstone.

So this might be really simple, but I haven't been able to find any examples to learn off of yet, so please bear with me. ;)

Lots of content! Lots of content! Lots of content! ...

$("div").html("Itsy-bitsy bit of content!");
I want to smoothly animate between the dimensions of the div with lots of content to the dimensions of the div with very little when the new content is injected.
