Norwegian commenced domestic operations in Argentina on 16 October, the day in which it inaugurated a twice-daily service to Cordoba along with a daily rotation to Mendoza.

Norwegian added another major milestone to its history on 16 October when it commenced domestic operations in Argentina. The carrier began commercial services from its initial base at Buenos Aires Aeroparque (AEP) to Cordoba (COR) and Mendoza (MDZ).

Both routes, flown using the airline’s fleet of Argentinian AOC registered 737-800s, of which it presently has two, will face head-to-head competition. Flights to Cordoba will compete with Aerolineas Argentinas (58 times weekly), LATAM Airlines (28) and Andes Lineas Aereas (11), while Mendoza services will go up against the same three airlines: Aerolineas Argentinas (40), LATAM Airlines (25) and Andes Lineas Aereas (six). Norwegian expects to add further routes to its Argentinian domestic network in the coming months. Flights to Neuquen and Puerto Iguazu are poised to begin in November, with Bariloche being served from Aeroparque as of December. Finally a route from the capital airport to Salta will be inaugurated in January.

Sialkot services were added to schedules on 22 October, with SaudiGulf planning a three times weekly rotation on the 2,462-kilometre route. Competition on the sector to Sialkot also comes from PIA, with it presently offering a weekly (Tuesdays) rotation. All routes between Dammam and Pakistan by SaudiGulf will be operated by the carrier’s fleet of A320s, of which it presently operates four.

Just a few hour left before stepping into year 2010, so I would like to take this time to review back what I have done for this year 2009. Like other past year, but with some special moment happens and make me grow up and understand more about what life is about.
Happens around mid January 2009, I was in my 2nd sem and my uni require us to enter one of the 7 pillars program: To walk 23.21km from MRSM beseri to the new permanent campus at Ulu Pauh.This is my longest walk of the year but definitely not the longest one in my life so far, the longest one is during Penang bridge run. The walk is much easy compare to the bridge run, and it was the first time I saw the area of my Uni's new campus: large area of land with nothing but the flag UniMAP, it was told that building is under construction and two school will be finish by the end of this year.
I'm usually a quite person and didn't talk a lot. For that making new friends is always a dificult thing for me as I need time to adapt myself and believing other people, but I'm very fortunate to meet with this 4 girls and befriend with them, because of them I learn and understand a lot about relationship.
Now now, talking about achievement, for my third semester. From the picture you can see a statue made with mild steel plate being attach together using arc welding by me~ is my mini project title call "Graduation" Really proud of myself for doing all the welding work, but still I will take this opportunity to thanks my group member Sinli and Weizhong for painting and report.
For your information I actually start blogging on Jun just as my personal dairy to express my feeling through writing. After that I stop writing until my third semester break.
Two weeks before 28th October, I was thinking of what to give for my friend in Uni (Tete) as his birthday present, then out of sudden I thought about making a birthday wish dedication video for him. Quickly I start making plan on the video plot and come out with the theme for his birthday video~ Secret (不能说的秘密) a movie by JayChow. After days of planning and making, plus collecting wishes from his friends, the video turn out to be a success^^ Glad that everyone love my 1st made video.
Finally, I'm starting my 4th semester, and studying now at new permanent campus build by UniMAP. This feel like a whole new experience again, and actually this changes turns out to be not as bad as I would imagine. I even get my chance to show up in newspaper for first day of my 4th sem.Every subject is getting tougher and hopefully I can achieve my best state to study hard for this semester, no doubt~ must get good result!!!
Haha...great happenings! Keep up the good work!!

Caminhar nas montanhas de Kotor é melhor com um guia para garantir que você tenha as melhores vistas e não se perca. Esta caminhada de meio dia desce o que é conhecido como a Escada de Kotor: uma trilha que ziguezagueia pela encosta da montanha até a Cidade Velha, e comanda vistas panorâmicas da baía. Dirija até o topo e caminhe de volta para baixo, parando para experimentar uma fortaleza veneziana, uma aldeia e as vistas panorâmicas à medida que avança.
Vlad was an amazing tour. It ended up being super private, just my husband and I and our tour guide. The weather and views were amazing and we couldn't be happier. Thank you!
This was an excellent experience. Our guide met us at the city gates and we took a taxi to the top with him. He gave us time to grab a quick espresso before beginning our descent. He was very knowledgable and allowed us to take the time we needed. This hike down took about 3 1/2 hours on rocky but not too steep terrain. The views were unbelievable the entire hike. We loved it! Highly recommend this to anyone who likes to hike, even though it was a descent it was still a little challenging but a breathtaking experience as far as seeing Kotor and learning about this beautiful place from our guide. Definitely need good solid running shoes or hiking boots. Wear layers as it was cool at the top but got much warmer through the hike. Bring water and a snack.
This tour is not what I expected. The tour guide spoke very little English. It was MUCH MORE strenuous than described. Regular "sporty" clothes and shoes are not enough! You need hiking BOOTS. There were many parts of the trail that were dangerous and unsteady. Last half of hike was the nicest part!
Very interesting tour and the guide was an entertaining sould. Our fellow hikers were fun too. If you are looking for something active to do rather than just look at old buildings, this is definately a good choice. Just was they would have given us a map of the city to find our way out instead of just leaving us at the back gate though.

Recently I wrote an article showcasing 15 Photoshop tutorials for experts. This time, I will focus more on the beginners in order to assure a reasonable balance between experts and beginners. Also, I don’t want to focus all my attention on Photoshop, therefore we have here a new post – “15 Illustrator tutorials for beginners”.
To be honest, I am an Illustrator beginner, too. All the below tutorials are studied by me. Some of them are superficially studied while others are very carefully read. Anyway, all 15 Illustrator tutorials for beginners are very useful and interesting.
I started learning how to use Illustrator because I noticed that it’s an extremely powerful software solution, but it hasn’t the same marketing as Photoshop has. As a result, Illustrator is considered by some designers as the “exotic” brother of Photoshop. I guess that it’s totally incorrect; across time I will share here my personal experiences with Illustrator.
Therefore, bookmark this post and start studying the Illustrator tutorials for beginners. Also, if your friends are interested in learning the basics of Illustrator share the post with them.
I was in doubt about adding this resource in this list. It’s not about its quality, but anyone that check this link will be amazed about how complex the tutorial is. I guess that some designers interested in learning Illustrator will quit to this dream once they see it. I hope that you won’t give up! This is an Udemy tutorial so it means that you have the certitude that it’s a top quality tutorial. Don’t forget, nothing great was achieved with no endeavors!
This is another pretty long tutorial, but it can’t be compared to the first one. Yeah, it’s a long tutorial, but each step is very carefully explained and the images are very suggestive. It’s divided into steps and this modular structure allows following the tutorial very easily.
Finally, here is a tutorial for very beginners; the author of it estimates that it will take no more than 15 minutes to complete it. It’s an interesting challenge…it took me 30 minutes, but I preferred to be extremely careful to each aspect.
You will be able to create a cool stopwatch if you study this tutorial, but here is another fact to take into account. The author pays attention to all the aspects and the final result is very realistic. Definitely, learning how to create really professional designs is a great achievement!
If you consider that a stopwatch is too complex for you, then you should try a simple power button! In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a simple button by playing with Basic Tools & Effects and the Appearance panel.
The next tutorial will teach you how to make a delicious pizza. Unfortunately, Illustrator can create only vector pizza and these aren’t eatable!
The next two Illustrator tutorials for beginners require paying closer attention to the details. Except this fact, this tutorial is simple and you will sharpen your skills of using the basic options.
Depending on each one preference, after eating a pizza you want to drink a beer or a glass of juice. The same pattern must be applied in learning Illustrator. After you learned to draw a pizza, you should learn how to create a beer based text effect.
It’s estimated that you can complete this tutorial in 120 minutes. If you have enough patience, you will learn how to draw a funny cat.
This is a 25 minutes tutorial that will teach you how to create a nice invitation. It’s a very simple tutorial that may be studied by the very beginners.
This project requires much time and patience, but the funny outcome deserves your endeavors. You will learn how to work with Shape Tools, Pen Tool, and Pathfinder.
I didn’t study this tutorial too much, but I will do it sooner. It’s a ten-minute post presenting how to work with knife tool.
This is one of the most interesting Illustrator tutorials for beginners. The author teaches us how to create a vector smoke in just a few steps. Warp is a great tool and the author really master it in order to impress us.
Brushes are extremely important in both Photoshop and Illustrator. By following the steps of this tutorial, you will improve your skills in working with brushes. Besides that, the final output is really awesome.
We have published many text effect Photoshop tutorials and now it’s time to show you that Illustrator is very efficient in creating text effects, too. This tutorial shows us how to create a nice 3D text effect!
This is everything for today! If I missed some interesting Illustrator tutorials for beginners please contact me and I will update the article. At the end, I wish you good look in your attempt of learning Illustrator!

Some 16 million tourists visit Croatia every year, and with its pristine coastline and unspoiled national parks, stunning walled towns and youthful vibrant cities, you can see why. Since becoming the 28th member of the EU in 2013, Croatia has become more accessible than ever to visitors from Europe and beyond.
After worries subsided from the global financial crisis, Croatia is once again enjoying economic growth and stability, making it an attractive place to work as well as visit on your holiday. If you’re thinking of moving to Croatia for employment, you might need a work permit to do so.
Here’s a guide to getting your Croatian work visa and making sure all your paperwork is in order.
Do I need a Croatian work visa?
Your first priority should be to figure out if you need a work permit at all. In some cases, depending on your nationality and the role you’ll take on, a permit might not be necessary.
As of early 2017, Croatia is still subject to some transitional arrangements for workers from the EU. This means that although most European citizens won’t need a visa to live and work in Croatia, there are some exceptions. This currently affects citizens of Austria, the Netherlands, Malta, Slovenia and the United Kingdom. If you’re from these countries, visa arrangements are in the process of being changed, so you should check with your local Croatian embassy for up to date information.
EU nationals from other countries don’t need any special permissions to travel, live or work in Croatia. Third country nationals are likely to need a work permit to work legally in Croatia. The EU immigration portal is a useful source of information about work permits for Croatia.
What’s the process to get a Croatian work visa?
To get a Croatian work and residence permit, you’ll have to apply at your local Republic of Croatia diplomatic mission. If you need to extend your work permit later, you can do so in Croatia by taking your documents to your local Police Station. This must be done at least 60 days before your visa expires.
Croatia is part of the EU Blue Card network, which is a useful tool for third country nationals. If you’re offered a Blue Card, this can be issued with up to two years validity, while regular Croatian work and residence permits are limited to 12 months.
The application can be done by either yourself or your employer, though you both will need to provide some documents to support it. Any documents which aren’t in Croatian will need to be translated and certified. Guidelines are available from the Croatian government website.
There are some categories of work which allow you to be employed in Croatia with a ‘work registration certificate’ rather than the work and residence permit. These tend to be used for people entering Croatia in roles such as a consultant, performer, journalist or a member of a religious order. A full list of the roles covered is provided on the government website. If this applies to your role, your employer can get a work registration certificate from the police station closest to your registered office.
The exact details of how your visa application is made and processed will vary depending on the local embassy procedures. Some embassies, for example, don’t have appointments, but operate on a ‘first come, first served’ basis, while others require you to make an appointment before visiting. Similarly, processing times will vary widely so make sure you have plenty of time before you intend to travel to Croatia and take up employment.
Work and residence permits are offered under a quota system, which means that even if you fulfil the criteria, you can only be offered a work permit if the quota hasn’t already been met. However, there are some exceptions in which you might be offered a permit even if the limits have been reached for the period. In that case, you’ll be asked to provide more details to support your application, including an argued explanation of your suitability for the role and why it can’t be locally filled.
Depending on the type of work you’re planning to do, it might be possible to apply for an EU Blue Card. Similar to the U.S. Green Card, this document gives you the right to work across most EU member states (excluding Denmark, Ireland and the UK). To be eligible for a Blue Card, you must be from a country outside the EU, be highly skilled (typically meaning you have completed a bachelor's level university degree, or have five years of senior professional experience), and have a binding job offer or active work contract.
The Blue Card application process is fast tracked by member states. That means it’s typically quicker than other forms of work visa application. However, it may still take up to three months. Although you start the application process online and through a single point of contact, the process may vary depending on your personal circumstances. The Blue Card network has a great website and offers applicants support to help them understand the process.
To get a visa for a short period of time, you can follow the same process as outlined above. Typically, visas are issued for the duration of the employment contract presented, so if you show your embassy a fixed term contract, they’ll issue you a shorter visa to cover the time period.
You can get a Croatian visa for the purpose of seasonal working by following the same process outlined above. In this case, a visa is issued for up to six months and, after the visa expires, you won’t be able to work in Croatia again for six months.
If you’re from an eligible country (currently New Zealand and Canada) and under the age of 30, you might be able to get a working holiday visa for Croatia. This is issued for up to a year and doesn’t require employer sponsorship. However, numbers tend to be strictly limited and so your chances of securing a visa by this means depend on the time of year you apply.
How do I get a Croatian work visa as an entrepreneur?
To work as an entrepreneur, or in your own business in Croatia, you’ll need a business permit as well as a separate residence permit. Previously, the business permit covered both the right to work and live in Croatia, but this now has to be managed as two separate applications.
If you have the right to reside in Croatia already arranged, you can apply for a business permit at your local police authority. However, your application will only be considered if you have at least a 51% stake in a locally registered business or are working as a sole proprietor or freelancer.
Some businesses also need approval from the local chamber of commerce before your permit can be processed. In this case, you’ll need to show your business plan including details such as how much local employment you can create and the personal skills and qualifications you have that will make it a success.
How might my Croatian work visa affect my spouse and family members?
If you hold an EU Blue Card, you’re entitled to take your family with you to Croatia. Your spouse, children or other dependant family members should be covered by this legislation.
Evidence you have adequate health insurance.
I have my Croatian work visa - what next?
Once you arrive in Croatia, if you’re a third country national, you must register your residence with the local police station within 30 days. If you don’t, your residence and work visa could be revoked.
If you’re an EU citizen, you’ll still need to report to your local police authority to register your residence within three months of arriving. You’ll then be issued a residence card for Croatia. Details are available from the Ministry of the Interior.
How can I move money to Croatia from my bank account abroad?
To get the most of your money, you'll want to open a bank account in Croatia, which you can do before you arrive.
Once you send money either to or from Croatia, consider using a money conversion service like TransferWise to avoid unfair exchange rates. There's a small transparent fee, and when your money is converted from one currency to another you’ll get the real exchange rate - the same one you can find on Google. Not only that, but TransferWise receives and sends money via local bank transfers instead of internationally, further saving you money by cutting out hefty international transfer fees.
If your trip is short or opening a bank account in Croatia isn't an option, you can always withdraw money from your foreign account using an ATM there. Just keep in mind it'll be more favourable to agree to be charged in the local currency, not your home currency.

text: Luis G. Jordà (1869-1951) was a very prolific composer and his piano production features pieces of great beauty. Some were very popular in Mexico and Spain (as, for example, the Elodia mazurca) but, unfortunately, many of them are considered lost nowadays. A rare example is this oriental song for piano entitled Perlas Orientales since it was recently, in 2019, when a copy of it (the only one that exists) appeared in an unsorted archive in library in the United States. For the first time, Mozaic Editions has the pleasure to offer the facsimile edition of this beautiful piece of Moorish and sensual style.

Maja Bajević was born in 1967 in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, she received a Diploma of the Fine Arts Academy of Sarajevo in 1990 and continued with her Master studies in 1991. In 1996, Maja Bajević achieved a Diplome of the ENSBA in Paris, France. She further pursued Post Diploma studies at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Bajević now lives in Paris, Berlin and Sarajevo and works in the fields of video, performance, photography and installation.
In her performances, videos, installations and photographs, Maja Bajević confronts privacy with the public as well as the personal with the political. Her personal view on phenomena of a global world becomes the epicentre of public discussions about truth, identity and homeland. Subjects such as the abuse of power or religion are as central and common to her work as migration, marginalisation of the foreign and the tension between the local and the global. By questioning political and economical structures of our time, she is enabled to create works of stunning subtlety.
Several critics have noted Maja Bajević’s engagement with issues of political power and patriarchy, and, more specifically, with the exclusion of women from the historical record traced in cultural patrimony. Less commented upon are the ways in which, from the beginning, she has addressed the question of reception by striving to resist any easy consumption of her work by the art-world systems. Today, Maja Bajević is one of the most important artists rooted in East-ern Europe.

You’ve heard of the IPL Photofacial, famed for its anti-wrinkle and toning capabilities for aging skin. Enter Claro™ IPL Acne Clearing Device, a new product that harnesses the power of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) to treat acne. The Claro is the only at-home IPL device approved by the FDA at reducing 98.4% of p.acnes, the bacteria that causes acne’s growth and persistence. Claro is touting its product as a solution for anyone that suffers from mild to moderate acne, without having to visit a dermatologist or skincare specialist. We wanted to know just how well Claro compared to professional-grade treatments, and whether it’s worth the $195 splurge.
How Does the Claro™ IPL Acne Clearing Device Work?
Blue Light: This low-level light stimulates increased oxygen production, an essential component of healthy circulation and healing. Oxygen also attacks the bacteria that causes acne—p.acnes.
Red Light. The red light emits 600 nanometers of light to soothe the telltale signs of a pimple: inflammation, redness, and soreness while speeding up the skin’s natural healing process.
Infra-Red Energy: At 700 nanometers, the highest level of heat kills the bacteria while allowing the blue light to penetrate the skin even more deeply.
Light is commonly used in professional acne treatments. Many patients and professionals prefer it to antibiotics and topical medications that tend to dry out and otherwise react on the skin. Blue Light Therapy is very popular for acne treatment—like the Claro, it uses a spectrum of light to target acne bacteria. The IPL Photofacial is often recommended for adult acne, because in addition to acne it also treats wrinkles, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and sagging skin. Similarly, Thermage uses light to target acne while also building collagen to promote acne scar healing.
While the Claro is certainly advanced for an at-home device, it simply can’t compare to the strength and effectiveness of an acne treatment performed with professional-grade tools by a certified skincare specialist. And when you’re talking upwards of $200, it may be worthwhile to put that money toward a series of proven in-office treatments rather than one developed for home use only.
If you’d like to learn more about any of the acne light treatments mentioned above, contact our representatives today. We’ll happily set you up with a complimentary consultation with a certified skincare expert in your area. During your consultation, you’ll be able to further discuss your acne condition and with the help of a professional, decide on the best course of treatment for your skin.

HAMPTON BEACH — Summer’s just around the corner and in the grand tradition of Hampton Beach, the Casino Ballroom will be rocking and rolling non-stop; but what used to be exclusively a summer venue has expanded its “season” (now referred to as a Concert Series) and is now busy spring through fall.
With a huge spring that included sold out shows from YES, Sevendust, Steel Panther, and ZZ Top, the Ballroom hit the ground running in 2013 and is showing no signs of slowing down. For the first time ever, fans were given the opportunity to purchase tickets before the first of the year thanks to some early bookings with marquee acts, and the additions to the schedule have been pouring in ever since.
As the spring “season” winds down, the summer “season” is ramping up with something for everyone. Fans of classic rock will enjoy Foreigner, Styx, Steve Miller Band, the Doobie Brothers, and Cheap Trick. For those who dig R&B and soul, John Hiatt, BB King, Lyle Lovett, The Rock & Blues Fest, and Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings will be coming through. There’s some great indie and alt rock with Weezer, John Butler Trio, The Counting Crows, Brandi Carlile and Melissa Etheridge, plus plenty of comedy with acts like Ron White, Lisa Lampanelli, Jeff Dunham, and Brian Regan. And not to worry, Ballroom favorites Eddie Money, The Beach Boys, and KC and the Sunshine Band will be stopping by as well.
Looking for something a little different? Boxing is coming back to the Ballroom on June 25th with the premiere of Bare Knuckle Boxing (BKB 1, Nowhere to Run only on DIRECTV), and for the first time ever, the venue will play host to Garrison Keillor’s A Prairie Home Companion on July 28th and an evening with a cappella group Straight No Chaser on June 21st.
New shows are still being announced every week with over 50 shows on sale now. The historic venue is on track to host more than 70 live entertainment events this year, possibly a record number. With the number of shows that have been selling out in advance, fans would do well to keep track of new announcements via the venue’s email list, official website or Facebook page so that they don’t miss out on their favorite act performing in one of this country’s most authentic and intimate concert settings.
“A tale of three seasons”, that is the best way to describe an epic year of live entertainment at the Casino Ballroom. Spring was one for the ages, Summer is heating up, stay tuned to see what New Hampshire’s premier concert venue has in store for the Fall.
For tickets, new show announcements, information and links to all social media visit them on line at CasinoBallroom.com.
Saturday, June 22 — moe.
Friday, June 28 — Happy Together Tour feat: The Turtles Flo & Eddie, Chuck Negron of Three Dog Night, Gary Puckett & The Union Gap, Mark Lindsay formerly of Paul Rever & The Radiers and Gary Lewis & The Playboys.
Wednesday, Aug. 7 — Jeff Dunham Doors 5:30p, Show 7 p.m.
Wednesday, Aug. 7 — Jeff Dunham Doors 9 p.m., Show 10 p.m.
Constructed in 1899, the Casino Ballroom at Hampton Beach has solidified itself as New Hampshire’s premiere live entertainment facility. Drawing millions of people through its doors for over 10 decades, the 2,200 seat venue has expanded its season to run from April through November. The Ballroom has played host to entertainments biggest names, from legends like Janis Joplin, Led Zeppelin and the Doors to current mega stars like Jeff Dunham, Stone Temple Pilots and Counting Crows. As the centerpiece of the Beach, the Ballroom provides an unsurpassed avenue for a diverse line-up of events each year that includes Blues, Country, Rock, Folk, Pop, Oldies, Comedy and Boxing.

Hallowed Grounds (E1M5) is the fifth level of the first episode in Blood. The level resembles an underground temple or cathedral.
"Walk across the open aired area into the next building. Over to your left, is the entrance into a big hallway with lots of pillars. Enter it, and turn to your right. Walk all the way down until you get to the wide wooden door on your left. Open it, and keep walking, past the Moon and Skull key doors, until you finally get to the Skull key. Don't go back to the Skull key door yet. Instead, take the door to your right into a large room. Up on the right ledge, you'll see a doorway, follow it along to a small pool of water on your right. Jump in, swim to the end, and push the switch. Swim back, and a staircase will be opened to your right. Climb up stairs, listen to the message, and open the curtains on the left fork. Jump down, and walk through the doors to your left. This will take you to the Skull key door. Open it, and follow the stairs up until you come to a room with several doorways. Take the one to your immediate left, and drop down the hole in the floor. At the end of the passage, you'll see a differently coloured wall, push it, and enter into the next room (you could take the long way around through the courtyard, but this is the quickest way). Keep walking forward and take the Moon key over the left side of the room. When you pick up the key, the gate in front of you will open up taking you back to the big hallway from the beginning of the level. Follow it back around to the Moon key door. Open the door, and follow the stairs down. At the bottom of the stairs, take note of the Spider key doors in the room on your right, but take the passage over to your left, until you come to a lift. Take the lift up to the wine storage area, and pick up the Spider key. Return via the lift to the Spider key doors, and open the left one. Follow the passage, turn to your left, cross the bridge, and push the symbol to end the level."
Throughout the level the chant of "Pestis cruento vilomaxus, pretiacruento" is repeated in the Cultist Language. This translates to "Blessed order, blood heaven".
Flipping the skull - switches on either side of the strange altar in the Super Secret are stops the incessant chanting that plays throughout the level, indicating that the strange flesh altar is somehow the source of it.

Overview of Research Interests: The Blakeslee lab focuses on conservation biology in marine systems and includes a diverse research program involving biodiversity, population genetics, parasite ecology, and biogeography—as well as the unique and integrative insight that can be gained from studying biological invasions. Recently, biological invasions have become recognized as a major contributor to the global (and often disjunct) distributions of many marine species as a result of human transport mechanisms. Invasion research is therefore important not only from a conservation perspective but can provide theoretical and practical understanding of population and community level influences of novel species, and can also serve as an important teaching tool for students and the general public. Marine invasions are a major part of human-induced global change, including population, community, and ecosystem-level shifts in marine biota, genetics, and the environment. We examine many integrative aspects of marine invasions, focusing in four major areas: (1) global distribution patterns and biogeography of free-living and parasite species, (2) marine invasions and vectors, (3) population genetics and population ecology in native and non-native populations, and (4) community ecology and host-parasite interactions of native and non-native organisms, including host behavior, physiology, and genetics. We focus our studies primarily on marine invertebrates as they have contributed vast numbers of introductions globally, and they also serve as hosts to marine parasites, which are a fundamental but often overlooked component of many marine systems, and which can become cryptic invaders themselves.
(1) Global Distribution Patterns and Biogeography: Due to centuries of human-mediated dispersal superimposed upon millions of years of natural dispersal, many organisms have complex biogeographic patterns. Species may clearly occupy natural ranges, be introduced to new regions, or have ambiguous (cryptogenic) histories. Distinguishing among them can be challenging, requiring multiple lines of evidence. My research has employed genetics, demographics, and parasites as tools to better understand biogeographic and phylogeographic patterns of species with natural, ambiguous, or non-native ecological histories.

(2) Marine Invasions and Vectors: Not only have we investigated marine invasions from a biogeographic perspective, but we are also interested in understanding it from the population and community-level perspectives, as well as better understanding the marine introduction vectors that transport organisms from place to place.
(3) Population Genetics and Population Ecology: Population genetics can be used as a tool to understand invasions, but also to reveal potential impact of an invader in novel regions. My lab has explored population genetics of invading hosts and parasites in several temperate systems. We have also investigated demographic patterns associated with marine and estuarine organisms, often associated with species invasions.
(4) Community Ecology and Host-Parasite Interactions: Although parasites make up a large proportion of species abundance in many systems, they are often overlooked as a major contributor to population and community level dynamics. My lab is interested in better understanding the ecological, evolutionary, and environmental influences of parasites in native and introduced communities, as well as their distributions and interactions with hosts.

An 0-2 record last night.
I probably should’ve known this would happened. When I wrote about the Raptors and how they have been right there with the Rockets over this recent stretch, I mentioned how they were underrated and what did I do? Underrate them. Classic. That said, this game was lost in the first quarter as the Raptors came out 32-16. Houston won every quarter after that and James Harden had a big game, but it was never enough.
We had the Lakers +7.5 in our other pick and they ended up losing by nine. This was another one that hurt as they had this one close, but they failed big in the fourth losing it 31-20. When the final score is 9 points difference, that hurts. That’s the price you pay sometimes for betting on the young teams, they can’t close it out.
This is a game where the schedule should play a big factor. Washington is playing their third in five nights, played in New Orleans last night and flew to Miami after the game. New Orleans to Miami sounds like an LMFAO song. They lost an hour on that flight and who knows if anyone decided to partake in the nightlife after arriving.
We know that Miami is locked in for this one. They have a one day rest advantage and are fighting for their playoff lives right now. After a rough start to the season, they have started playing really well at home. 5-1 in their past six and tonight is a great chance for another win. We’re taking Miami -4.5 at home tonight.
Over the past 15 games, these two teams have the opposite records of one another (9-6 for Washington, 6-9 for Miami), but a lot of the underlying numbers show that the Miami team has actually been playing better. Bradley Beal can work magic, it seems. Miami has a better Defensive Rating and you have to like Hassan Whiteside versus Marcin Gortat and the way Justise Winslow has been playing. Miami feels like they are going to make some noise in the playoff race and I’m feeling good about them tonight.
Another brutal schedule game here, but this one is for the Grizzlies and may be worse than the previous. This is the fifth game in eight days, third in four and second half of a back-to-back for Memphis who flew in from Utah last night. Dallas has a three-day rest advantage here and should grab the win here.
Of course, this is a game between two tanking teams so it won’t be pretty to watch. We might see some funky lineups, but the Mavericks -9 are a good play here. The Grizzlies will be without Tyreke Evans and Marc Gasol is doubtful. While Dallas may not want to dominate this game, they probably aren’t going to have much of a choice. They are just a better team and have more NBA bodies to put on the floor. Sorry, not sorry. This could be a fun showcase for Dennis Smith Jr. against a sad sack group of point guards from Memphis.

Current.org Blog: Panetta presents Vietnamese official with diary researched by "History Detectives"
Panetta presents Vietnamese official with diary researched by "History Detectives"
U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta presented a diary to Vietnam’s defense minister in Hanoi Monday (June 4) from the body of a North Vietnamese soldier killed in a 1966 firefight near Quang Ngai that had been provided to the Defense Department by the pubTV program History Detectives. The diary contains several entries and a photo of two young women, according to PBS.
"I'm pleased that History Detectives could, through Secretary Panetta, be part of a continuing process of reconciliation between our nations," said Wes Cowan, lead investigator for the show. "The diary and photograph are small reminders that the combatants who were lost on both sides were not simply warriors, but real people who will forever be remembered by their loved ones."
Marjorie Garner brought the diary to History Detectives for a friend, U.S. Marine Ira Frazure. After firing subsided in the 1966 battle, Frazure found the body of a North Vietnamese soldier in a machine gun pit with the small red journal on his chest.
In return, Vietnam's Minister of Defense Gen. Phung Quang Thanh turned over to Panetta several letters from a U.S. soldier killed in the conflict. Panetta hopes to deliver the letters to that soldier’s family members, who now live in California.
The History Detectives episode on the diary is scheduled to air Sept. 25.

text: In 1948 Humphrey Lyttelton formed his first full-time band and rapidly became the premier Traditional Jazz band in the UK. Several of the musicians who would become significant players later had formed bands, but until the Chris Barber Jazz Band came into being in 1954 Humph had no serious rivals. The band made early recordings on the small independent specialist Tempo and Esquire labels and in 1949 had landed a contract with the leading major label Parlophone. In 1950 their producer would be none other than George Martin. Throughout the early 1950s the band was regularly in the recording studios and the output was quite prolific which was an indication of its popularity. The recordings on this CD are very rare coming from broadcasts, private recordings, concerts and alternative takes. Most have never been issued before and some are the only versions the band ever recorded. It is a good representation of what a powerful band it was.

Were you waiting for the official announcement of OnePlus 3? If yes, then you will be flabbergasted at the price that the 6GB RAM model is being offered for. We truly have one of the most affordable Android flagships of 2016.
Featuring a 5.5-inch Optic AMOLED display, OnePlus 3 features a 1080p resolution, and we are glad that the company stayed its hand from incorporating a QHD display, all for the sake of battery life. While we are disappointed that the company only placed a 3,000mAh cell inside the non-removable housing, OnePlus’ Dash Charge technology will allow the smartphone’s battery to charge from 0-60 percent in just a matter of 30 minutes, which is kind of like how Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 3.0 functions.
Once again, the company has left out one of the most important features from a smartphone; a MicroSD card slot, but the company did incorporate 64GB of UFS 2.0 storage, which will come in handy when you want to record 4K footage at 30FPS. Apart from recording footage at the granddaddy of all resolutions, OnePlus 3 also comes with a 16MP Sony IMX298 camera sensor, and for those that don’t know, this is the same sensor that is present at the rear side of Huawei Mate 8, the previous generation flagship.
There is even a product video provided about OnePlus 3 so if you want to check that out, the link has been given below. For the price of $399, the smartphone features everything that you wanted in a premium phone, except for the expandable storage option, but we will let that slide. What did you think of the announcement of OnePlus 3? Tell us your thoughts right away.

In our previous post, we got to a point where we can retrieve login forms for banks. In order to use those login forms and create accounts for users, we need to first set up users on Yodlee. That is what this tutorial is about.
Every user in your app needs a Yodlee username and Yodlee password.
As long as you are using Yodlee sandbox mode, you cannot create new users with usernames and passwords. You must use the five pre-created users that Yodlee creates for you. In production mode, we do create user accounts on Yodlee, one for each user of our app.
In production mode, what values do we use as the username and password? If we use the user's email address as the user's Yodlee username, things will break down should the user ever update his email address. (Of course, we could update his Yodlee profile, but that is another API call to keep track of.) I prefer to generate internal usernames and passwords for users. This ensures I never need to worry about changes. Let's get started.
I am assuming that your app already has a User model. Let's add fields to the User model to store the user's Yodlee username and password.
In the user model, let's add an after_create callback method to set the user's Yodlee username and Yodlee password.
One of the configuration values we set in the first post of the series was "register_users", which defined whether or not users should be automatically registered on Yodlee when they join your app. This is set to true for production mode only, as in sandbox mode you cannot create users.
So in the case where "register_users" is true, this method will set an appropriate username and email. For the username, we simply use a fake email address with the user's ID value. Because every user ID value is unique, these will always be unique values. For the password, we call Yodlee::Misc.password_generator, a method that we will create now.
We need to use a custom password generator rather then rely on something like SecureRandom.hex because a Yodlee password requirement is that passwords can not have the same character repeat three times consecutively. SecureRandom.hex commonly produces strings like "66a101cd5138fff79cf7d6f9cb4b05ea", which fail that requirement.
Our password generator will create 32-character long strings of gibberish, but will check that no character repeats at all.
So our users will now be auto-populated with internal Yodlee usernames and passwords. It's time to actually create those users on Yodlee.
Tip: Remember that in Yodlee sandbox mode you must populate the usernames and passwords manually in the console using the five pre-made usernames and passwords Yodlee gives you.
A side point: as you can see, we are storing Yodlee passwords in the database in plain text. Yodlee presents a bit of a security challenge, as we need the user's Yodlee password readable and handy so we can interact with Yodlee on behalf of the user. This makes one-way encryption impossible. We can use two-way encryption, but any hacker with access to your database will have access to your code and will be able to decrypt the Yodlee passwords. On the one hand, this is a little concerning. On the other, storing a password like this isn't much different from storing a non-expiring OAuth token, like Twitter's API gives. If you have thoughts on this, please share in the comments section.
Following the pattern we discussed in the previous post, let's make a Yodlee::User class to wrap user instances with additional Yodlee methods.
The first API call to add is the register call.
It's pretty straightforward. We create a user on Yodlee by passing in a new username and password, along with an email address. Because the username is already in an email address format, we can re-use the username as the email address. The API call returns a response. We extract the user's session token from the response and save it to the @token instance variable.
Next, let's add the API call to login a user that is already registered.
Similar to the previous API call, we simply pass in a username and password, and we receive a response containing the user's session token, which we save to the @token instance variable.
Being that we are saving the session token to @token, let's add a convenience method named token which will return the token value if it is set, or login the user and get a new token if the token value is not yet set.
Now anytime we need this user's token, we simply call the token method.
Last, let's add an API call for deleting the user from Yodlee.
The complete Yodlee::User class should look like this.
Now that's we've create a Yodlee::User class to wrap the ActiveRecord user instances, it's time to complete the pattern by adding a yodlee method to the User ActiveRecord model.
When a user joins or leaves our app, we should automatically add or remove that user from Yodlee.
One way to do so is to use callbacks in the ActiveRecord User model.
While this is a perfectly legitimate way of doing things, it does couple the User and Yodlee::User classes more than I would like. As your app grows with functionality, these callbacks may get in the way. For that reason, I prefer to do the Yodlee registration in the UsersController instead.
Please take a moment to check your current code from this tutorial against these gists, to ensure you're up-to-date.
Now that we have users all figured out, it's time to add bank accounts for our users. In the next tutorial, we will explore submitting accounts for data scraping, and retrieving the transaction data.

The biggest benefit to our power flushing system is reduced energy bills. It's really quite simple. With a cleaner more efficient system the water can flow more freely and easily around your home. This means your home will heat up faster and allow you to reduce the amount of time that your heating needs to be on. In addition to this our clients often find that they can lower the setting on their boiler due to the increase in efficiency meaning a decrease in usage. The end result is that no matter how cold it is in Harpenden the inside of your home can be lovely and warm in less time with less power usage meaning lower bills.
As mentioned above most clients tell us that their central heating isn't as hot as it used to be. When we power flush your system you will benefit from hotter radiators. How this works is that the pipes and radiators are cleaned out removing all the sludge. This means that the hot water from your boiler gets to the radiators faster resulting in warmer radiators throughout your home.
When we power flush your system it can be through of as a service for your system. Like with cars, when they are serviced they generally run better and more efficiently. The same goes for your central heating. If your system is clean it will operate under less stress meaning your boiler will benefit as it will not have to work as hard.
When we power flush your system your boiler will not need to work as hard pumping water, this often results in a quieter boiler which is a great added benefit if your boiler tends to make a lot of noise.
If your system is clean of debris then the hot water can get to the radiators faster. The faster the hot water can get to the radiators the better as this means less time to heating the room from cold.
We are locally based and its a quick process taking only a few hours to complete.
If you were thinking of installing new radiators, definitely try power flushing first as a cheaper alternative.
All of our clients in Harpenden gain from improved efficiency in their central heating meaning lower bills, hotter radiators and a longer lasting system. Well worth it if your radiators are no longer performing to their best. The main areas we cover are Hertfordshire St Albans, Marshalswick, Harpenden, Redbourn, St Michael, Wheathampstead, Sandridge, Oaklands, Smallford, Tyttenhanger, Napsbury, London Colney, Colney Heath, Jersey Farm, Porters Wood, Cotton Mill and St Stephens .

Q: When you think of of data and how data is exchanged today in businesses, how do they enable an impact with customers?
A: We’ve all been talking for many years about data and where it’s coming from and how we’re using that whether that’s through analytics or in other ways. But what’s changed over the last decade is both the technology that allows you to access use the data and also quite frankly the amount of data that’s being created. Businesses can use data to be more competitive, innovate and do a better job observing your customers.
Q: Data is the new oil, but we are still having to create the engines for the oil. Is SAP part of building those that engines?
A: We would call that engine a data platform. As you think about how platforms have evolved and become more important supporting businesses, a data platform is perhaps one of the most important things to have. It not only gives you access to data, but makes sure that data is secured and governed. It also allows you to bring in data from external sources. For example, the role of data in medicine and cancer treatment. We have a customer in Europe called Gustave Roussy, who’s the biggest cancer treatment agency in Europe. They are using data to improve cancer treatment, but more importantly, they’re using data to deliver personalized ancestry and personalized medicine. Gustave Roussy has used data from 300,000 cancer patients and overlaid it with clinical data, pharmaceutical data, etc. and have improved the cure rate of 55% percent of their cancer patients. Their goal is to increase this to 75% by 2030. This is made possible by both accessing data and having the platform, or the engine as you said, to bring those pieces of data together and act on them.
No matter what example we’re referring to, there are four characteristics of what a good data platform will deliver to you. You not only have to be able to collect and access the data, you have to be able to trust it. You need to have visibility and connectedness, and be able to take the data from various sources and connect it into your core systems, whether those are medical or business applications. You also need to be able to operationalize the data in a single source, regardless of the type of data. Lastly, you need to have flexibility, so the data could come from almost anywhere. It could be data that already exists, data that is completely external to your organization, or new data. Some of this is technology enabled, but fundamentally it comes down to bringing the data together and then doing something with it that’s meaningful.
Q: What is the challenge of enabling a digital enterprise? To what extent is it also a human problem? For example, do doctors now need to learn how to treat patients in a new way that incorporates new technology?
A: The things we’ve been discussing have been core to many businesses’ operations. For example, database is not a new technology, but there are new advanced versions of existing technologies available. I think the greatest barrier is not so much user experience, but is more feeling content with what I’m doing today and feeling cautious about introducing something that may hold great benefit but may also disrupt the business. So it’s less about technology not being possible, but more about feeling content with current business operations that seem to be working well enough, but at the same time, paralleling that with the immense pressure for businesses to reimagine their business models, to be more competitive, to drive higher margin. Inevitably, those who parallel perspectives come together and look to technology as one of the key ways to take the business from a legacy situation to establishing a new more advanced data platform.
Q: Is there an example of a company you’ve worked with to initiate change in business operations and processes?
A: An example that pops in mind for me is Stara, a company in Latin America that uses data in agriculture to change food production. This is a great example of a company that has a very specific business around equipment, farming and agriculture that has used data and connectivity to do their core business and enhance food production. They’ve seen both business benefits and societal benefits enabled by technology, and when working with these companies, it really matters what we’re delivering back to the world we live in.

I’ve been sitting here on and off for almost two hours and haven’t written a word. Instead I’m mulling over a new crisis I have created for myself. This is an old habit I thought I had outgrown years ago. This week during a spectacularly bad writing day, I was listening to NPR on my lunch break as I drove to my second writing location, the library. I heard a brief yet fascinating and heart-wrenching story about the recently declared famine in southern Somalia. And within 60 minutes of listening, a fully formed novel idea had presented itself to me, scrawled messily over 10+ notebook pages. I even have a title. I have not stopped thinking about the characters since that time but haven’t written a word for fear of… I don’t know what. Betraying my first full work of fiction? Feeling like a quitter and a failure? Worrying that this idea will fizzle out halfway too and I’ll be left with nothing, thus forcing me to realize I’m not a writer, just someone with lots of ideas and no follow-through?
Every passage I read – or, rather, tried to read- on my last writing day felt off. So off. I couldn’t get through much of anything for revisions. I would read and try to make notes and just end up closing the manuscript in disgust. I deeply care about the story and the characters but it feels like I’m trying too hard. I can’t find the true voice. I like the story but parts of it are reading almost like a fairy tale. I think what’s really got me stuck is that I’m realizing the first book needs so much revision as to almost require a complete rewriting. The whole first half is in the wrong tone. I like the second half’s voice much better. But to rewrite the first half in the new voice is daunting. Not as daunting as a whole new book, but still.
If a friend was in this situation and asked me what I thought they should do, I would tell them to set the first work aside and get everything down that they could on the second one. You don’t want to lose momentum on an idea that compelling. And the friend would likely protest that they didn’t want to abandon their first work and wanted to finish what they had started, not quit. And I would counter that it will still be there when they are ready to go back to it, or when they have hit a stopping point on the new manuscript. But I am not an expert on writing books. This could be very bad advice.
The reality is that either way I am much further behind than I had thought. And that makes me feel defeated. And very very tired.
2 responses to Want to read my journal?
My gut feeling is that you need to follow the ideas, the heart, the passion, whatever is fueling your fire. I think perhaps you should cast aside any arbitrary timelines(?) and just, you know, let it be. Whatever is coming out, get it out and get it down. I think you’d just weary yourself more by fighting things, you know?
*TRY* not to feel defeated. You are *working*. That is amazing and excellent and worthy of some self-approval!

Next step I guess is to refuse the VISA credit card charges and see how far that gets me.
I guess you can still see the guy's name in the Dell website? Contact that other person?
Bet it won't take long for them to contact you then.
Seems more like a Dell issue to me, tbh. Based on what you've said, it arrived at YouShop and was allocated to the name/ID that it was addressed to.
As above, argue/reverse the Visa charge, and take it from there. Sucky situation, would be interested in how Dell's ordering system would get that wrong.
Youshop problem or not (dell system issue would be my guess too) it seems crazy that youshop won't do anything about it, especially if it hasn't arrived with this other person yet. Seems they could easily refund him and deliver to you if you provide proof of purchase. This sounds like the sort of thing they should really be bending over backwards to avoid, because it's their service that it will reflect badly on.
YouShop doesn't really know if the parcel belongs to Nathan or not. All they know is something arrived to the warehouse with a valid name/code combination. For all intents it "belongs" to this other person and youShop won't do anything.
freitasm: YouShop doesn't really know if the parcel belongs to Nathan or not. All they know is something arrived to the warehouse with a valid name/code combination. For all intents it "belongs" to this other person and youShop won't do anything.
By all means chargeback and get dell on the case.
oh dear ... if it could happen to dell it could happen to any other ordering sites?

Mister Rogers arrives with three kinds of horns -- a car horn, a bicycle horn, and a trumpet. Taking them to the kitchen, he plays a listening game by askng viewers to close their eyes and guess which horn is making a sound. He remembers a time he felt and heard many things while walking on a windy beach.
At Negri's Music Shop, Mister Rogers returns the trumpet and visits with trumpeter Benny Benack who demonstrates his musical talents. Mr. Negri shows Mister Rogers a machine made of wood and canvas that mimicks the sound of the wind.
In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, Handyman Negri and Edgar Cooke are growing more concerned with the fact that King Friday has asked them to be the pilots of his new plane. The plane is delivered to the castle by Pilot Ito of IAMCO Inc. King Friday recognizes that Handyman Negri and Edgar Cooke are not properly trained to fly the plane and he decides to hire Pilot Ito as his personal pilot.
Back at the house, Mister Rogers talks about how real pilots required a great amount of studying and practice in order to fly a plane. He concludes by singing You've Got To Do It.
A similar film about the windy beach is also seen in Episode 1256.
Everybody Has a History plays as Mister Rogers returns to his house from Negri's Music Shop.
Handyman Negri and Edgar Cooke are attempting to learn to fly by reading a manual called "You and Your Airplane."

QNX Acoustics for Active Noise Control (ANC) provides a high-performance software solution for engine harmonic noise reduction in passenger vehicles. By allowing automotive system designers to leverage existing audio and infotainment hardware, the ANC library provides dramatic savings over existing hardware ANC solutions – while simultaneously increasing performance by up to 50% and providing enhanced design flexibility.
QNX Acoustics for Active Noise Control integrates seamlessly into a vehicle's infotainment system.
Delivered as an optimized binary ported to a specific hardware and software configuration (with or without an operating system), QNX Acoustics for Active Noise Control can perform up to 50% better than existing hardware solutions found in many passenger vehicles.
QNX Acoustics for Active Noise Control provides up to 20 dB noise power reduction depending on transducer and vehicle seating configuration.
Noise reduction measured at front and rear positions in minivan driving at steady state speed of 65 mph. When enabled, QNX ANC technology delivers up to 11 dB noise reduction at 48Hz.
QNX Acoustics for Active Noise Control eliminates the costs associated with designing and prototyping a custom hardware controller module. Developers can easily integrate the library into a vehicle's head unit, power amplifier, using a dedicated DSP or application processor. Using the comprehensive API, they can quickly build high performance, robust systems that significantly reduce or remove undesirable engine noise.
The ANC solution can generate significant bill of materials cost savings for automakers.
Using QNX Acoustics for Active Noise Control fast-tracks development by eliminating the need for custom hardware builds and by reducing tuning efforts – often from months to weeks.
Various types of drive-train technologies, such as variable cylinder management and lower RPM torque, help improve fuel efficiency but come at the cost of increased cabin noise.
QNX Acoustics for Active Noise Control reduces engine harmonics below 150 Hz using vehicle RPM data from the CAN bus and audio data from cabin microphones. The library generates anti-noise signals (equal in magnitude and opposite in phase to the primary noise) and emits the signals from the vehicle’s loudspeakers, cancelling unwanted engine noise.
When integrated into a vehicle audio system, ANC eliminates the need for dedicated hardware.
Solutions that separate ANC and audio processing by putting them on different hardware are generally difficult to manage. QNX Acoustics for Active Noise Control eliminates this problem by integrating ANC functionality with other audio processing tasks on an existing DSP or processor. It runs seamlessly alongside other audio-processing systems (hands-free, voice recognition, audio playback, etc) and allows a single application to control the complete audio processing chain.
In-cabin audio can vary depending on the number of passengers and contents in the vehicle, seat positions, aging of audio components, temperature, window position, and so on. Systems designed with QNX Acoustics for Active Noise Control can readily cope with dynamically changing audio within a vehicle.
With QNX Acoustics for Active Noise Control, automakers can choose to implement a “one calibration fits all vehicles” methodology whereby, in a production line, the pre-calibrated data is loaded into each vehicle’s flash memory and used as required. Alternately, calibration may be performed for each and every vehicle in the production line following a “one calibration per vehicle” strategy.
QNX Acoustics for Active Noise Control is supported on both floating-point and fixed-point DSPs and application processors with or without operating systems. Contact us for information on supported platforms or how to port the ANC library to your hardware.
Computational resources required for QNX Acoustics for Active Noise Control are low. For example, a three-microphone and three-control output configuration running on an ARM Cortex A8 processor (in fixed point mode) uses less than 25 kB RAM and 22 MHz CPU load while processing 1 engine order. Full benchmarking data is available upon request.
QNX Acoustics for Active Noise Control supports 8 kHz and 48 kHz sampling of audio input and output signals.
