Q: Java encrypt/decript data from PHP to Java, IllegalBlockSizeException I'm trying to read a base64 encoded and AES 128-bit encrypted string from PHP, but I'm getting IllegalBlockSizeException.
PHP encrypt:
encrypt("My f awesome test !");

function encrypt($string){
    $td = mcrypt_module_open('rijndael-128', '', 'cbc', "1cc251f602cf49f2");

    mcrypt_generic_init($td, "f931c96c4a4e7e47", "1cc251f602cf49f2");
    $enc = mcrypt_generic($td, $string);

    mcrypt_generic_deinit($td);
    mcrypt_module_close($td);

    return base64_encode($enc);
}

And the returned value is:

McBeY73GQ5fawxIunVKpqUupipeRlt9ntyMRzjbPfTI=

Now I want to read it in Java:
static public String decrypt(String data) throws Exception {
   data = new String( Base64.decode(data, Base64.NO_WRAP) );

   byte[] keyByte = "f931c96c4a4e7e47".getBytes("UTF-8");
   byte[] ivByte = "1cc251f602cf49f2".getBytes("UTF-8");

   Key key = new SecretKeySpec(keyByte, "AES");
   IvParameterSpec iv = new IvParameterSpec(ivByte);
   Cipher c = Cipher.getInstance("AES/CBC/NoPadding");
   c.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, key, iv);
   byte[] bval = c.doFinal( data.getBytes("UTF-8") );

   return new String( bval );
}

And I'm getting an Exception:

javax.crypto.IllegalBlockSizeException: data not block size aligned

This might be caused by padding?
EDIT

A: Your error was caused by the conversion of the plaintext to and from a string. It's not necessary anyway - just use byte arrays:
byte[] data = Base64
    .decodeBase64("McBeY73GQ5fawxIunVKpqUupipeRlt9ntyMRzjbPfTI=");
byte[] keyByte = "f931c96c4a4e7e47".getBytes("UTF-8");
byte[] ivByte = "1cc251f602cf49f2".getBytes("UTF-8");

Key key = new SecretKeySpec(keyByte, "AES");
IvParameterSpec iv = new IvParameterSpec(ivByte);
Cipher c = Cipher.getInstance("AES/CBC/NoPadding");
c.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, key, iv);
byte[] bval = c.doFinal(data);

System.out.println(new String(bval)); // Prints My f awesome test !

I recommend you use padding in your encryption, otherwise you cannot cope with arbitrarily-sized input.

A: the IllegalBlockSizeException thrown on call to doFinal() if: "cipher is a block cipher, no padding has been requested (only in encryption mode), and the total input length of the data processed by this cipher is not a multiple of block size; or if this encryption algorithm is unable to process the input data provided." -http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/crypto/Cipher.html#doFinal%28%29. So its either bad input data or block size.

A: This is a working version of encryption/decryption between

Hope this helps someone as it took me a while to work through the little details between the platforms.

Ideas Quotes
The idea of sitting in a booth, and having someone pay me to sign autographs, seems so gross to me.
Jobs Quotes
That's what so great about making movies. It's that you get to do stuff you never would be able to do in real life. You get to go to a recording studio, you get to go to Navy ships and fly all over the world for press. And it's just a great job.
A film has a beginning, middle, and an end. There is a certain amount of time that you have to embody these people. You know the entire story arch. But on TV, you have to let your guard down. You don't know how long the show is going to last. There is this excitement that comes with developing a character long-term.

My face is distinct. It's hard to confuse me with anyone else.
Lucky Quotes
Celebrity is a gift. I'm very lucky.
Opposites Quotes
You know, so many people say TV makes you stupid. But it had the complete opposite effect on me. It kept me from having a really bad Southern accent.
Real Quotes
If there is any sense of order to the universe, acting is what I am meant to do. I'm not manufactured. I know acting isn't real, that it's temporary. If there is any theme to the roles I play, it is emotional vulnerability and availability.
Long Quotes
I've lived so frugally for so long. I have to have that financial security or the world feels out of control for me.
Deal Quotes
I grew up in a town with no movie theater. TV was my only link to the outside world. Film wasn't such a big deal to me. It was TV. So much so, that when I meet TV stars now... Not my co-workers, but real TV stars, I get nervous. I freak out around them.
Alabama Quotes
I grew up in a rural area. I grew up in deep southern middle Tennessee, probably about thirty miles from the Alabama border. There's nothing there, really. And the TV was my link to the outside world. It's what kept me from going into factory employment. It's what made me want to go to college. It was really inspiring.
Hits Quotes
I have been to Graceland a hundred times. Every kid in middle Tennessee has this night where it hits midnight, and they are like, 'Let's go to Graceland!' It's a rite of passage. I did it.
Experience Quotes
I always wanted to be an actor. It's something I always secretly wanted. You know, I had the experience of being picked on as a child, and I would tell people, 'You're gonna be sorry when I'm famous!' And then I learned after they kicked the stuffing out me that you don't say that out loud.

Pentagon to Announce UFO Sighting Task Force | StoptheBull
Home Government Pentagon to Announce UFO Sighting Task Force
Two defense officials told CNN that a the Pentagon will imminently unveil a new task force specifically investigating military UFO sightings.
According to unnamed sources, Deputy Secretary of Defense (DOD) David Norquist is set to lead a new team tasked with investigating Unidentified Flying Objects (or UFOs) spotted by military personnel. The decision comes on the heels of the Pentagon's April 27 reveal of unclassified UFO footage captured in 2004 and 2015.
"DOD is releasing the videos in order to clear up any misconceptions by the public on whether or not the footage that has been circulating was real, or whether or not there is more to the videos," said a Department of Defense statement just after the footage was released. "The aerial phenomena observed in the videos remain characterized as 'unidentified.'"
Pentagon formally releases 3 Navy videos showing "unidentified aerial phenomena" https://t.co/DNtaSBpV0q pic.twitter.com/m2l1D7a1jo
— CBS News (@CBSNews) April 27, 2020
At the time, lawmakers including Senator Harry Reid endorsed the decision to release and investigate the footage. "I'm glad the Pentagon is finally releasing this footage, but it only scratches the surface of research and materials available," Reid tweeted in April. "The U.S. needs to take a serious, scientific look at this and any potential national security implications. The American people deserve to be informed."
In July, Senator Marco Rubio expressed his approval of the decision to further investigate the mysterious aircraft. "We have things flying over our military bases and places where we're conducting military exercises and we don't know what it is and it isn't ours," Rubio said. But he seems to prefer extraterrestrial origins, rather than a more mundane source.
"Frankly, if it's something outside this planet that might actually be better than the fact that we've seen some sort of technological leap from the Chinese or Russians or some other adversary that allows them to conduct this sort of activity," Rubio said in a video posted to YouTube on July 17. "That to me is a national security risk and one we should be looking into."

The warm climate and the sea may render Spain a desirable tourist destination for millions of people around the world, but the residents' relaxed attitude towards life extended to the country's stand on gambling, with a number of brick-and-mortar and online casinos going unregulated for years. Yet, participating in different forms of gambling is a popular pastime among many Spanish residents as various reports suggest that players from the country collectively spend as much as €1.9 billion on betting per year.
The financial crash of 2008 put an end to the unregulated market in the country and led to the enforcement of the so-called Spanish Gambling Act, with lawmakers adopting a stricter attitude towards all gambling activities that take place on Spanish soil.
Gambling in brick-and-mortar venues has been legal on the territory of Spain for nearly forty years but the country did not enforce proper regulations on this market until recently. At the present moment, both online and offline gambling are legal and regulated on a national level but this was not always so. Games of skill became legal in 1977 while slot machines and other similar games that are based on luck were approved in 1981. It is fair to say the landbased gambling industry in the country is flourishing as there are over sixty licensed gambling venues and as many as seven racetracks across Spain at the present moment.
The thriving landbased gambling market has led to some changes being made to the Spanish legislation regarding interactive betting as well. In 2006, the country's government officially enforced its first laws concerning interactive gambling, with online sports betting being the first form of gambling to be subjected to regulations. The government proceeded with setting up a special commission in 2010 in order to outline the guidelines on how a properly regulated interactive gambling sector should operate.
This led to the introduction of one very important piece of legislation, namely the 2011 Spanish Gambling Act. The latter was officially enforced in 2012 and all forms of online gambling in the country became legal. The Act allowed for a more holistic approach towards gambling regulations – the 17 autonomous communities in Spain oversee landbased betting activities while the central government in the capital, Madrid controls the gambling regulations on a national scale.
The autonomous communities are currently responsible for landbased operations only while interactive gambling activities, which take place over the internet and thus, transcend the country's physical borders, are overseen by the state, in the face of the General Directorate for the Regulation of Gambling Activities. The Spanish Gambling Act also covers the promotion and sponsorship of gambling activities. Thus, foreign gambling operators that do not hold valid licenses from the local regulatory body are prohibited from advertising their services and products to Spanish residents. The advertisement and promotion of gambling activities on behalf of local media are also subjected to authorization from the government.
That being said, some foreign gambling operators are reluctant to apply for a Spanish license because of the hefty taxes, imposed by the government. However, despite the strict regulations that are applicable for interactive gaming providers, individual players are not persecuted for betting on unlicensed foreign websites.
In order to legally offer their services to residents of the country, foreign gambling operators need to apply for and receive a Spanish license by the local regulatory body. The governmental body that regulates the market and issues licenses to online gambling providers is called the General Directorate for the Regulation of Gambling Activities and operates as a part of the Ministry of Finance and Public Administration. In addition to market supervision, this institution is also responsible for managing various gambling records and penalizing unauthorized gambling activities on the territory of Spain. Gambling providers that operate in violation with the guidelines of the General Directorate risk having their licenses revoked.
The General Directorate grants three types of licenses – general ones, single-game ones, and permits which are valid for brief periods of time. The licenses and regulations cover fixed-odds sports betting and horse racing, mutual sports betting, exchange betting, bingo, slots, baccarat, blackjack, roulette, and poker. The licenses are not transferable and the period they are valid for depends on their type. For example, the general licenses expire after ten years while single-game licenses are valid for a shorter period of time, ranging from one to five years. The General Directorate also issues permits for occasional, i.e. one-time gambling activities.
The foreign gambling operators need to comply with several requirements set forth by the General Directorate. For instance, one of the conditions is for the operators' gambling central units or servers to be located within the country's borders so that Spanish authorities can adequately monitor them. Additionally, the license applicants are expected to submit an operation plan that includes the results of the full tests their gambling software has undergone.
Some of the biggest names in the online casino industry have already entered the Spanish market and run websites via the .es domain. These include popular, reliable and highly respected online gambling operators the likes of William Hill, bet365, partypoker, PokerStars, and 888casino, among others. Poker fans from Spain are enabled to partake in a variety of online tournaments and cash games with flexible stakes ranges. Furthermore, it is possible to choose from a wide range of secure payment options that are suitable for players from Spain, including convenient options like e-wallets, prepaid vouchers, credit/debit cards, and internet banking.
Spanish players also get the chance to deposit in their own currency as all licensed gambling operators have adopted the EUR, preventing their customers from incurring additional currency conversion fees. Also, players who are not fluent enough in English will hardly experience any difficulties with processing payments, managing their accounts or claiming bonuses since many online gambling operators list Spanish among the languages supported by their websites.
Obtaining a gambling license for operation within the borders of Spain implies the payment of taxes on behalf of the licensees. As was mentioned earlier, the taxes in Spain are rather hefty. All licensed online gambling operators are expected to contribute 25% of their gross revenue. There is also a corporation tax which is generally around 30% but can drop as low as 20% – it all depends on how big the company is. Meanwhile, gambling operators that violate the guidelines set forth by the General Directorate by offering their services to Spanish residents without a license risk incurring even heftier fees of up to €50 million.
The weird thing when it comes to Spain is that taxes are imposed on the winnings of Spanish players as well, which is not the case in most European countries where online gambling is legal and regulated. Players who declare gambling as their official source of income are required to pay a 20% tax on their lottery or betting profits, provided that the latter exceed the amount of €2,500. On the bright side, Spanish players are allowed to deduct their losses from their profits.
The gambling operators that are licensed to provide betting services to Spanish citizens are also expected to conduct their operations via the .es domain. Thus, each time a player from the country loads the website of a licensed gambling provider, the connection will be redirected to the Spanish domain.
Despite the fact both gambling operators and Spanish players are dissatisfied with the imposing taxes they are expected to pay, the online gambling industry in the country is thriving. Various reports published by the General Directorate for the Regulation of Gambling Activities indicate that the Spanish gambling market has been on the rise in the past few years, with profits from this sector reaching an all-time high in 2016.
There was a significant increase in revenue from sports betting and virtual casino games. Online poker, on the other hand, is not doing that well since there was a drop in the overall amount Spanish players have wagered for the same period. This decrease in online poker revenue in Spain can be attributed to the policy of the country's regulatory body of segregating Spanish players by allowing them to be seated at online poker tables with other players from the country only, which renders it difficult for this particular market to grow. This also causes Spanish poker fans to resort to playing at unlicensed poker websites which further reduces the country's revenue from this sector of the gambling industry.
Despite that, the legal changes enforced by the Spanish government in recent years have allowed for a significant market growth, providing players from the country with a greater number of licensed (and therefore reliable) online gambling websites to choose from. Yet, lowering the taxes imposed on licensed operators most definitely would have a positive effect on the Spanish gambling market's further growth.

Why is Calgary so cold?
The month with the most snow in Calgary is November, with an average snowfall of 2.4 inches. The snowless period of the year lasts for 5.0 months, from May 15 to October 13.
Winter will have above-normal temperatures and precipitation, with below-normal snowfall. The coldest periods will be from late December to early January and in mid- to late January, with the snowiest periods in late November, mid-January, and early March.
Edmonton's snow-season typically lasts from October through April, and into May about half of the time. No month is a particular standout for snow, with November, December, January and March all averaging around 20cm. Of the true winter months February is a bit lower than all the rest.
Here are the coldest months in Environment Canada's weather archives, as recorded near where the Calgary International Airport now stands:
February 1936: –24.5 C.
February 2019: –18 C (expected)
IT IS IMPORTANT: You asked: Does Canadian government Own gold?
We typically see 128.8 cm of snow over the course of the year. As of April 30, Calgary had already recorded 120.8 cm of snow. Usually, about 35 per cent of the annual average snowfall in Calgary occurs between Sept. 1 and Dec.
Most days of snowfall in Calgary leave less than five centimetres (2 inches) of fresh snow on the ground. For seven days a year on average, the amount of new snow totals at least five cm. Big snowstorms of over ten cm a day normally occur once or twice a year.
While the rest of Canada is waking up to a new season in March and April, Calgary is actually experiencing the snowiest months of the year. Looking over a 30 year average you'll see that why the city averages no snowfall in June, July, and August, every other month does feature a considerable dump.
The cold season lasts for 3.7 months, from November 17 to March 8, with an average daily high temperature below 38°F. The coldest month of the year in Calgary is January, with an average low of 13°F and high of 31°F.
What is this? Winter temperatures in Calgary range from -1C to a low of – 12C and with the wind chill, it could drop to below – 20C. The only way to enjoy the winters in Calgary is to layer and dress warmly! The coldest month in Calgary tends to be January and (usually), Calgary is colder than Toronto.
IT IS IMPORTANT: Do you get to keep your uniform after the army Canada?
When does it snow the most in Calgary? The month with the most snowfall in Calgary is April when snow falls for 9.5 days and typically aggregates up to 102mm (4.02″) of snow.
In terms of mean temperature, the answer is no. Toronto is milder than Calgary primarily by virtue of proximity to a large body of water, yet Toronto's higher humidity makes it feel much colder than Calgary.
Fall/Winter: Edmonton's highs during fall/winter is a few degrees colder than Calgary, but the lows between the two cities is pretty much the same. i.e. during the day it is a bit colder in Edmonton, but at night both cities are the same temperature.
Located in Southern Alberta, Calgary endures very cold winters, although not as cold as Alberta's capital city, Edmonton, which lies farther north. … Calgary has a windy climate which it owes to its prairie location – there are few natural barriers to the wind.

We are living and witnessing the most transformative times in the history of customer-centric banking. Buoyed by the proliferation of digital channels and copious connectivity, customers today expect ubiquitous banking experiences from their banks. How fast they can offer seamless banking on up and coming digital channels has become a competitive differentiator. It is becoming rather table stakes equally fast.
Banks are pulling out all stops to meet these expectations. But in providing these services and experiences, they contend with the much more agile digital native peers. Representative studies indicate that nearly thirty percent of customers today bank with at least one non-traditional provider. Combine this with the upcoming open banking wave and one reckons that, banking transactions are likely to move to third party channels even more rapidly, putting banks at a risk of losing the ownership of their relationship with customers. In response, banks are progressively innovating to play a larger role in the lives of their customers by becoming more than a provider of financial services. Progressive banks across the world are transitioning from the traditional model of vertical integration to the ecosystem-driven platform model, to be more to their customers. The platform business model, known to have blurred industry borders now seems set to help banks and financial institutions transcend borders.
In this edition of FinacleConnect, we present an array of perspectives from industry practitioners and thought leaders – all of them pointing in one direction – the platform business model in banking has arrived. The cover story by Sanat Rao, Chief Business Officer, Infosys Finacle, explores six business strategies for building a platform bank.
Our interviews with Gabriel Di Lelle, Vice President, Innovation and Digital Transformation, Grupo Bancolombia, and Anuj Agrawal, Senior Research Manager, IDC Financial Insights, present how the model is shaping up in their respective regions, the key challenges that lie before banks, and the nuances of platform banking.
The edition also features points-of-view by Finacle thought leaders on industry developments in areas ranging from platforms, FinTech, blockchain, and more.
We hope you enjoy reading this edition of FinacleConnect and find it insightful. I look forward to your feedback and views.


yes. Would that mean I need to look at drafting a Universal Credit form or an ESA 50 form, or both just in case as I would like to prepare myself mentally really well in advance and obtain support letters from GP's and Consultants before November 2019.
It would be UC for the ESA(IR) element but it is an online form, I'm not aware of any downloadable version.
I realise you want to be prepared but the Managed migration of ESA claimants is not even a defined process at this time and whilst it might start in a year, it could be many years before your daughter is actually invited to claim UC and who knows what changes to the process will occur in this time.

Steve and Jen ( my neighbors) have owned 9026-Eyes for 21 years and have a great following in the Malibu community. One of their specialties is a service for people who have a drawer full of unusable glasses. Maybe the lenses are scratched, maybe they need repair?

In keeping with my blush theme this season, let me introduce these lovely quartz crystals that make a great home addition. Nothing says love like Rose Quartz. We love them at any time of the year. Its loving energies help to enhance self esteem, balance emotions and promote happiness. It enables us to see good in ourselves and in others, bringing peace to our lives. Who doesn't need a bit of that?
One of the things I love most about my job is the ability to work one-on-one with clients to design special pieces. The same is true when it comes to jewelry, but for that, I leave it to the experts at Tova Malibu! Local designer Tova's latest "A Star is Born" collection is a great introduction to her collection, featuring a beautiful ensemble of three necklaces each sold separately.

Bikinibroek (Engels: Bikini Bottom) is een fictieve plaats in de animatieserie SpongeBob SquarePants. De plaats is gelegen op de bodem van de Grote Oceaan en is de plek waar alle centrale personages uit de serie wonen, waaronder hoofdpersoon SpongeBob SquarePants.

Bikinibroek beschikt over vele faciliteiten. Zo is er onder andere industrie, horeca, een attractiepark, een politiebureau, een bejaardentehuis en een bioscoop.

Geografie
Bikinibroek is gelegen op de bodem van de Grote Oceaan, vlak bij het atol Bikini. Er wordt in meerdere afleveringen, computerspellen en dergelijke duidelijk dat het in de Grote Oceaan ligt. Het ligt in de "middle of nowhere"; er zijn nauwelijks andere plaatsen in de buurt. Het precieze aantal inwoners is niet bekend. In sommige afleveringen lijkt de plaats namelijk veel groter te zijn dan in andere afleveringen.

De stad heeft een zeer gevarieerd landschap. Er is een strand, er zijn bergen, rotsen, riffen, valleien en grote velden en weiden. Vlak buiten bikinibroek liggen de kwallenvisvelden waar Spongebob en Patrick vaak kwallenvissen. De hoofdweg is Conch Street, deze loopt van "downtown" langs de huizen van SpongeBob, Octo en Patrick en passeert ook de Krokante Krab, de Maatemmer en de vaarschool van mevrouw Puff.

Klimaat
Gezien de ligging in de Grote Oceaan onder de Bikini-atol zou het logisch zijn dat de plaats een subtropisch klimaat zou hebben. Toch valt er ook regelmatig regen en sneeuwt het zelfs weleens - er is zelfs een skipiste. De wolken die boven Bikinibroek hangen hebben de vorm van een bloem.

Plekken en gebouwen
Krokante Krab Het restaurant van Meneer Krabs. Niet in elke aflevering wordt het restaurant de Krokante Krab genoemd, in sommige afleveringen spreekt men over de Korstige Krab.
Maatemmer Het slechtste restaurant van de zee. Het wordt gerund door Plankton.
Fancy! Een heel chic restaurant in Bikinibroek. Er is bovenzeese muziek, je kunt er portrettekeningen laten maken en ze geven voetmassages.
Pel de Pinda Sorbet Party Bar Een bar waar veel kinderen komen, omdat de beroemde Pel de Pinda daar optreedt. Hier komen SpongeBob en Patrick vaak sorbets eten. Verscheen als eerst in The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie.
Barg'n Mart De supermarkt van Bikinibroek, in de vorm van een schatkist.
K-Blub Het radiostation van Bikinibroek.
Bikinibroek Frituur Colosseum Een arena waarin de "Frituurspelen" worden gehouden.
Handschoenpark Het pretpark van Bikinibroek.
De Zoute Roggel Een ruig café in Bikinibroek.
The Toy Barrel Een speelgoedwinkel die wordt geopend in de aflevering Toy store of doom''.
Rijschool van Mevrouw Puff Een rijschool waar Spongebob les volgt. Mevrouw Puff, een kogelvis, is de eigenaar van de rijschool.
De Bikinibroek-gevangenis
Het Grote Doetjescafé Dit is een café voor doetjes. Hier worden onder andere ijsjes en hotdogs geserveerd.
Het Supergrote Doetjescafé Dit is een groter café. Het is luxueuzer dan het gewone doetjescafé. Hier komt Patrick vaak. Ook zijn er "dolle doetjes"- dinsdagen, -donderdagen, -vrijdagen en -zaterdagen. Wat er dan is, is niet bekend.
Zeevaartmuseum Een museum over de zeevaart, komt in één aflevering voor.

Evenementen
Frituurspelen Spelen die met frituur te maken hebben. Het wordt elk jaar in het Bikinibroek Frituur Colosseum gehouden. De atleten zijn frituurkoks. Bij de openingsceremonie wordt door middel van een brandende Krabburger een enorme Krabburger aangestoken. Hierbij zijn de Frituurspelen officieel geopend.
Kwallenbeurs Een evenement dat elke twee jaar wordt gehouden. Er zijn bekende kwallenvissers bij aanwezig, en er zijn verschillende activiteiten omtrent kwallenvissen. Ook is er de mogelijkheid tot het kopen van souvenirs en uitrusting voor het kwallenvissen. Spongebob en Patrick komen hier graag.
Valentijnskermis Een kermis die er elk jaar rond Valentijn staat.

Demografie
De bevolking van Bikinibroek bestaat vooral uit vissen, maar ook uit andere zeedieren, en Sandy Wang, een eekhoorn uit Texas.

Purported Galaxy S4 Active model now captured on video
After having been apparently seen and photographed in Croatia, the rugged Galaxy S4 model, reportedly called Galaxy S4 Active, now stars in a short video.
As you can see in the images and video, the design of this purported Galaxy S4 Active model is slightly different than the default Galaxy S4 version.
The Galaxy S4 Active is said to come with a "metallic shell with bolts on the back" according to yesterday's reports and apparently features three hardware buttons instead of just one on the front side. These are most likely design choices dictated by the fact that the Active has to be a rugged device, capable of withstanding shocks and water accidents. We'll also notice again that red metal case, or is that what Metallic Orange looks like? That's assuming we're looking at the real deal here, of course.
Previous reports did claim that a metal-based Galaxy S4 prototype was appreciated internally at Samsung and we can't but wonder whether that rumored device is in any way similar to the rugged model shown in these images.
The handset apparently has model number GT-I9295, which isn't exactly similar to the Galaxy S4's model number (GT-I9500/GT-I9505). According to yesterday's pictures, the phone sports a 1.9GHz quad-core Qualcomm processor with Adreno 320GPU, but the video tells us it's not the Snapdragon 600. Instead we're apparently looking at a dual-core Snapdragon S4 Plus CPU. However, the S4 Plus family of system on chips do not come with Adreno 320 graphics, but the S4 Pro does – a previous rumor did say that the phone will pack an S4 Pro CPU instead of a newer one.
Other features include a 1920 x 1080 display (480 dpi) and an 8-megapixel shooter. The short video doesn't offer us any other details about the handset, but we are told that it has dustproof covers and a "kinda rugged exterior."
Actual availability details for the Galaxy S4 Active are not mentioned at this time, and it's not clear why the device has been showcased in Croatia in the first place. We'll remind you that just a few days ago we saw this particular product name confirmed by a Samsung WatchON app update – previously, Samsung has only confirmed that a rugged Galaxy S4 model was in the making, without specifying its actual commercial name.
We'll be back with more details about the handset once we have them.

I have met many who don't consider golf as a sport. Personally, I think it does satisfy the definition of sport, although I find it incredibly boring. Perhaps then, it doesn't quite entertain as sports are meant to?
I don't consider golf a sport. To me, a sport entails a strenuous effort to compete in order to win. Golf may be considered a game in that a person tries to meet an objective in the designated amount of tries in order to get a passable, at least, score. Some try to make golf a sport by setting up leagues, fiercely arguing over specific points of view and being obsessed with winning, even cheating in order to do it. As for myself, who use to golf but gave it up, it is boring and a novelty for the privileged elite.
I also can't think of golf as a sport. My definition of sport is a physical activity that makes you move actively from place to place and we need to spend much energy for it. Golf is more like a game indeed, much like chess or billiard. Each to their own opinion, but golf is not a big deal of sports for me.
I think golf is an actual sport as it does require skill (kind of like shooting a bow and arrow). However, as mentioned above, I do find it very boring and if someone was interested in sports in general, why they would choose to play golf.

A trade secret is a formula, practice, process, design, instrument, pattern, commercial method, or compilation of information not generally known or reasonably ascertainable by others by which a business can obtain an economic advantage over competitors or customers. In some jurisdictions, such secrets are referred to as "confidential information" but are generally not referred to as "classified information" in the United States, since that refers to government secrets protected by a different set of laws and practices.
Trade secret litigation presents a unique issue in intellectual property litigation. With all other types of intellectual property, the subject matter is identified in publicly available material—a registered copyright or trademark, an issued patent or a publicly available product. Trade secrets, by definition, are not publicly available or publicly defined. Plaintiffs often assert that there is no way to identify each trade secret before they conduct discovery. Defendants, conversely, often want plaintiffs' identification to be as early and precise as possible. These competing interests underscore the significance of what is at stake, which is that identification of the alleged trade secrets is central to both elements of every trade secret case: that plaintiffs possessed a valid trade secret and that defendants misappropriated that trade secret. State law governs substantive trade secret issues, and thus each state has its own rules. It also governs procedural trade secret issues in state court, while the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure govern such issues in federal court.
HULSEYIP lawyers have successfully represented clients in all stages of trade secret litigation, both as plaintiffs and defendants, from prefiling investigations through jury trials and appeals. Our lawyers also counsel clients on effective, enforceable policies that help prevent the loss of trade secrets, and on prophylactic measures to avoid liability for misappropriation. As a result of the deep and extensive intellectual property
HULSEYIP attorneys have the ability to focus on the essential substance of a trade secret dispute and reach a resolution serving the best interests of their clients.

If you truly want to experience adventure in the truest sense, break away from the ordinary experiences. A regular travel, some shopping, some visits to historically prominent locations are great but taking the unchartered routes are even better. These experiences provide memories that last a lifetime.
There are lots of activities that you can do while in India and here are some wonderful adventurous moments that you can include while you seek your breaks from the regular and stereotypical lifestyles.
Want to know what it feels like to be in heaven?
Want to fly like a bird?
Want to know how earth looks like below when birds are flying in the sky?
Your answer to all the above is paragliding. First you will have to fly with a professional and if more keen you can take up courses. Paragliding will take you up in the skies and show you views which you might never have witnessed. It is available mainly in Mumbai, Pune, and Himachal Pradesh in India.
If you want to experience speed and if you love water then white water rafting is something you will love and keep trying again and again. It's a very challenging activity where you navigate a river on a small raft. Besides being an adventure sport, it also provides an amazing experiences and a healthy sport too! You will have to steer the raft using the speed of riverand steer clear of the incoming impediments on the river along the way. The most famous river rafting spots in India are in Uttaranchal, Ladakh and Assam. The rivers where you can chart your experience are Ganga, Brahmaputra, Teesta and Zanskar.
If you want to experience the desert life, then a camel safari is an experience you must try out. It's one of the softer adventures compared to the others. The adventures are best experienced in the late evenings and early mornings when the desert breeze is calm and cool. Camel safari in India is very popular in Jaisalmar, Nikaner, Jodhpur, khimsar, Osian. You can also try Yak Safari for a truly unique experience. Yak is a rather shaggy and heavy animal. When in Spiti Valley in Himachal Pradesh, try this safari and enjoy the unique ride!
Another alternative to paragliding is hot air ballooning. This is a more laid back and leisure activity in comparison to paragliding. Hot air ballooning is relatively new to India and is fast gaining prominence. To experience breathtaking landscapes at higher altitudes you must try out this awesome experience. These hot air balloon flights operate from the Pink City of Jaipur, the holy town of Pushkar, and Ranthambore National Park in Rajasthan, New Delhi and around Manali, in India's northern state of Himachal Pradesh.
If you want to experience the lifestyle of a certain place or a region cycling or motorbiking can be quite an experience. Imagine a ride across the valleys with breathtaking views of the mountains, the green patches, bright sunlight all smiling and welcoming you. At the same time you will have the opportunity of stopping by and taking a break and enjoying the lifestyle of the locals. The fact is that motor biking through a place is a unique way of experiencing the local tradition and culture of a place and there are no two ways about it! Add to it the astonishing scenic grandeur of the breath-taking Himalayan milieu will make your adventure holiday worth remembering all through your life.
If you are one of the Harley Davidson type adventurers then this is something you can't give a miss!
Life as we know it is very different when viewed under water and that too in oceans and sea beds. This is something everyone must try. Once you try scuba diving or snorkelling you will go back again and again to enjoy the experience the thrill and beauty of India's stunning underwater natural world.
You can scuba dive or snorkel in the Bay of Bengal at Andaman and Nicobar islands or Arabian Sea at Lakshadweep group of islands. The crystal clear waters of the Indian coasts and shores promise charming scuba diving and snorkelling destinations that will leave you completely mesmerized.
The obvious choice for skiing in India is the northern belt with primary choices like Jammu and Kashmir, the hills of Kumaon, Himachal Pradesh, and the Northeastern states of India. For beginners, Gulmarg is the ultimate choice for skiing. There's a lot of skill that is involved while skiing. The sheer speed of going down a slope the wind that pushes you further, the freedom and legwork all add to its magic. Any amateur to a professional would love this sport.
There are so many fresh water lakes providing excellent spots for the fishing and angling activities. Dodital Lake surrounded by the Himalayan peaks is one such fine place for a catch. The Cauvery Fishing Lodge near Mysore is noted for Mahseer. The hill stations of Munnar make for perfect places for fishing in the gurgling streams of Kerala. Kashmir remains the undisputed paradise for an avid angler. Early mornings and late evenings are best times when you can indulge yourself. Combine trekking to it and you get the most amazing experience you can ever imagine.
An ideal activity during the summers that lets you escape from the heat of the plains is mountaineering. However, one should avoid the summers as landslides are experienced in several parts of India due to the heavy rains. The best mountaineering spots are in the Garhwal and Kumaon regions, Himachal Pradesh, Ladakh region of Jammu and Kashmir, and the Northeast. Some other renowned summits include the Num and Kun, and the Zanskar range in Jammu and Kashmir. Besides the amateur mountaineering, the technical climbing skills are put to test at Kishtawar at peaks that are as high as 6,500 m above ground level. Lahaul and Spiti in Leh, and the Kullu valley have several challenging peaks. You can make several choices in mountaineering and they are namely categorized into open, virgin, border, trekking etc.
The major states that cover trekking experiences are the states of Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, and Uttaranchal in India, followed by the Eastern Himalayas covering Darjeeling in West Bengal and the northeastern states of Sikkim, and Arunachal Pradesh. The trekking trails of Ladakh are some of the most difficult ones. The areas around Gangotri and Yamunotri and those below the Kumaon region are also famous for trekking. Avoid trekking during monsoons. Low altitude trekking can be undertaken during the months of February/March and April/May is best suited for high-altitude trekking in the Himalayas. If you want to enjoy trekking in South India, then proceed towards the Western Ghats from December to April. The weather is clear and scenic beauty is at its best.
With so many choices you are bound to make your travel more fun and adventurous and wholesome too!

Hey Wood-chuck Chuckers, its Groundhog Day! (it is as I write this at least)
This morning in Punxsutawney, PA ole Phil the groundhog saw his shadow. Such a revelation was met with an anemic reaction since thus far the winter has been quite mild. So, why do we watch, why does this town put on this yearly pageant? Perhaps even more puzzling- why has a comedy centered around this holiday only grown in acclaim and even reverence since it premiered back in 1993? American literary theorist and legal scholar Stanley Fish named the film as one of the 10 best American films ever made. What about it led the United States National Film Registry to deem it "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant&quote; back in 2006 when it added the film to its ranks? Now I love Bill Murray and Harold Ramis but those guys don't seem the type to hobnob with (what I'm assuming) must be a slightly snobby crowd in their new registry abode. Roger Ebert is an avowed fan- ok, you get the picture.
The super short summary is this: Bill Murray plays Phil Connors, an obnoxious weatherman who is sent on his yearly assignment to cover the Groundhog Day festivities and ends up reliving that same day over and over and over again, until he has morphed into a new man with a new outlook on life.
We don't know for sure how many times Phil relives that day. Director Ramis guessed about 10 years, though later he said that was probably not enough time and proposed a span of 30 to 40 years. After researching the film the website WolfGnards.com put forth the number of eight years, eight months, and 16 days based on how long it might take for Phil to master the many skills he has by the film's end. Co-star Stephen Tobolowsky says that he was told by Ramis it took Phil 10,000 years to get it right.
One day repeated for 10,000 years?
The religious themes in this film run shallow and deep. It's not at all hard to see for instance that Phil needs to be redeemed and given his comeuppance. And somehow this small town turns into his own personal Purgatory- even death doesn't last. I read recently that the film is a fan of many Buddhists as Phil is seen experiencing a rebirth as he casts off his own selfishness to embrace caring for others. To look at it another way, Phil essentially reincarnates into himself and is only allowed to move on after experiencing a profound spiritual change (dare I use the word enlightenment?)
It makes perfect sense that it would take Phil a ridiculous amount of time to truly change. His initial reactions are very human and thus easily understood and even encouraged. One such reaction creates in him a potent God-complex and he seems to relish in his own brand of hedonism. He selfishly uses the absence of real consequences to indulge in all manner of sins, from robbing an armored car to seducing a naive woman using information he gleaned from her during a previous day. He indulges his body knowing he doesn't need to worry about after effects. He even wows a group of people by correctly answering every single Jeopardy question with subdued but still somehow potent panache.
Perhaps it is only after exhausting his options at being selfish does Phil start to get around to helping others. At the start he's probably only doing so out of boredom. But the blanket of positive energy is just as fleeting as the previous selfish overtones- he is subjected to repeated failures at saving an old homeless man and is downright angry at how a boy he saves from falling never says thank you. It's a wonder to me that were not shone what has to have been multiple relapses into his old ways that surely happened. His unsuccessful suicide attempts seem oddly justified and when doing good proves just as insignificant as being selfish it's almost weird that he doesn't again try to end his life. And yet, Phil finds a way to move on with a new attitude, perhaps even taking comfort in the fact that his future is oddly secure and he can bask in praise and pride for as long as the fates allow. The glow given by others is felt more deeply than the glow he had gotten so good at bestowing upon himself.
I could go on and on, (this is already twice as long as I assumed it would be) but that is not only because this movie is exceptionally well made and seems to only get better with age, but also because it stands as one of the most spiritual films I have ever seen. An expert on comparative religions could have a field day with it. A novice like me is almost incapable of separating and identifying all the themes. It's all here: elements of karma, fate, purgatory, Prometheus reborn, hedonism, fatalism, and existentialism are shone to degrees unimaginable.
It might just take 10,000 years to fully explain Groundhog Day

AGI: A WINDOW ON THE ARAB WORLD WITH THE NEW DIALOGUE REVIEW
With completely different graphics and a new format, Agi Agenzia Giornalistica Italia has presented at the International Book Fair in Turin the new Dialogue, entirely dedicated to Expo Milano 2015 and to the relationships between Italy and Gulf Countries.
Rome, 19 May 2015 – Agi Agenzia Giornalistica Italia strengthens its traditional attention towards the Arab world thanks to the review Dialogue, which has been presented in the framework of the International Book Fair in Turin, with completely different graphics and a new format.
A quarterly magazine published both in English and Arabic, Dialogue aims to enhance the dialogue between Italy and the Arab world, promoting reciprocal awareness of different cultures, and featuring in-depth articles on geopolitics, economics, culture and art.
The new edition, Da Milano a Dubai (From Milan to Dubai), focuses particularly on the challenge thrown down by Expo Milano 2015, the great international event that recently started in Milan, with Italy's Commissioner for Expo Milano Giuseppe Sala discussing the aims and innovations of the exposition.
The powerful ties between Italy and the Middle East, with particular focus on the United Arab Emirates, are the common thread of the review. It contains, among others, an interview with Executive Director and Chief Editor at Al Bayan newspaper Dhaen Shahin, another with the Italian Ambassador in Abu Dhabi Giorgio Starace, an article on the prestigious Gulf Enterprises Studies programme at the Ca' Foscari University of Venice and an interview with Alitalia Ceo Silvano Cassano, following the company's merger with Etihad.
The magazine is also available on Agi Arab, a portal in Arabic language realized thanks to the contribution of Agi Arabic desk and partnerships with relevant newspapers, TVs and think thanks in the Middle East.

Bitcoin hasn't traded at $US5000 since October 12 last year when it briefly passed through the milestone during its meteoric run-up to an all-time high of $US20,000.
The latest sell-off was largely driven by fears last Thursday's so-called "hard fork" in bitcoin cash - controversially splitting the bitcoin offshoot into two separate currencies - would destabilise the market.
The rival forks are backed by two of the biggest names in crypto, Roger "Bitcoin Jesus" Ver and Australian computer scientist Craig Wright, who claims to be bitcoin's mysterious inventor "Satoshi Nakamoto".
"There are two different camps," said Egor Sidelska, director of Australian-based crypto hedge fund Magnet Capital.
"They were originally together focused on bitcoin cash and the argument basically started where one said, 'I would like to take the code in direction X' and the other said, 'I disagree, I'd like to take the code in direction Y'.
"It just so happens that these two individuals are relatively famous in the crypto landscape, they also hold a large proportion of crypto themselves and they have an influence into mining pools.
"Mining pools are important because they control hashpower. The more hashpower you have the more influence you have on the network. When the two chains split, the chain with the most hashpower is considered the 'winner'.
"What's happened is one has threatened the other with network attacks. There are multiple but the one he's threatened is using his hashpower to mine empty blocks on the opponent chain. When you do you clog up the network."
Mr Sidelska said even though the hash war had been "blown way out of proportion" and only affected people that own coins on the bitcoin cash chain, it was leading to "speculation and fear".
"If you have a situation where you have an individual that can very openly start manipulating and attacking an entire network, it's just a powerful negative influence," he said.
"At the moment the market is not driven by positive news, it's disproportionately influenced by negative news because of the bear market we're in."
Earlier this week, Bloomberg analysts predicted bitcoin's price could fall as low as $US1500, but Mr Sidelska believes there "will be some sort of bounce" off its current level.
According to Fred Schebesta, co-founder of Finder and crypto broker service HiveEx.com, buyers have "lost the fear of missing out".
"It's easy to buy bitcoin now and realistically today, there is very little difference with the technology between all the coins," he said in an email.
"There hasn't been enough time for the technology to prove itself. So people are selling because they've lost hope in the narrative and the dream of cryptocurrency. People have also lost over 90 per cent on the 'tulip mania' utility coins.
"As much as bitcoin is trying to be a store of value, it's very hard to believe in it when it drops 25 per cent in a week.
"Apart from bitcoin, we're not going to see the same top 20 coins in 12 months time. We need to find a new use case apart from bitcoin. This is coming. Because during 2012 when everyone said internet advertising is dead, Google was building AdWords."
