The apartment is perfectly placed at the border to the old town and the window view where amazing!Group
Universitate Apartment
Comfort, Location, Wi-Fi , Doina and Robert :)Bucharest is a city still recovering from its communist times, currently experiencing an advanced metamorphosis and its face is rapidly changing. The Romanian capital is a perfect place for travelling to if you're interested in history because the mix of old and new is something that is quickly fading in former countries from the Eastern Block and a characteristic that gives Bucharest its charm. Why not set out and discover a destination off the beaten track and rent apartments in Bucharest for a few days and witness its transformation first hand.
[See more]Things to see in Bucharest
One of Bucharest's most notable landmarks is the Parliament Palace, although its construction is relatively new. Built in 1984 by order of former president Nicolae Ceausescu, it's the largest Parliament in the world with 12 floors and more than 3000 rooms. If you fancy something a little bit more original, visit the historical district of Lipscani, with its narrow cobbled streets and charming little centre with shops and bars. Bucharest also has many museums but a highly-recommended visit is the open-air Village Museum. For something completely different during your stay in cheap apartments in Bucharest, visit the Escape Rooms, a place where you are locked in and where you have 60 minutes to get out by solving puzzles and using your brain.
Day trips from Bucharest
Romania has some beautiful places to visit outside the big capital. Start by going to the town of Snagov, some 15 minutes by car outside the city where you can enjoy beaches and a lake, in the middle of which is an island with the tomb of Vlad 'The Impaler'. Visit Peleş Castle in Sinaia or even the city of Constanta just over 3 hours away in a modern bus.
When to visit Bucharest
Like most Eastern European countries, Romania is a place that can get pretty cold in winter and not in a cosy way. Therefore, it's highly recommended to come to Bucharest in spring or summer, when the temperatures drift around 20ºC and the city can be enjoyed in sunshine. The ideal time would be from May until June or July and then for September and October. Only come in August if you can handle blazing hot sun and temperatures close to 30ºC.
Get around Bucharest
Many low-cost airlines fly to Bucharest from Western European countries into its international airport, as well as other airlines from all important European airports. Due to its location, Bucharest is also well connected by train with all major cities in Central and Eastern Europe. Once inside the city, the metro is perhaps the best way to get around since buses and trolleybuses can be quite confusing. Be aware of taxi scams during your holidays in Bucharest. Use it only if you need it and pre-book it if you can.
Festivals in Bucharest
Bucharest's newly-acquired Western status is still in its early days, which is why there isn't a huge amount of established festivals. One that does enjoy international recognition is the George Enescu Festival, a classical music festival that takes place in September, with concerts of piano, cello and violin among others. If you fancy something more modern in terms of music, B'ESTFEST brings some big names of the music scene in July to the city. There is also an International Film Festival in the month of April.

JPG Compression - The Bandwidth Saver Article
It's time for something a little different. Instead of the usual PC product review, today Cameron "Mr.Tweak" Wilmot has written an article for webmasters and site owners showing how they can significantly reduce the amount of bandwidth they use by compressing JPG images, one of the most common formats for web images. If you own a website and don't yet have knowledge in the field of JPG compression, you should find this very interesting indeed - Save money on bandwidth and please viewers at the same time with quicker loading webpages.Introduction
As a webmaster, I'm always looking for new ways to reduce the total amount of bandwidth (website data being requested by client and sent from server) our website uses to save money on what can be expensive monthly hosting bills.
Unfortunately, we no longer have the luxury of unlimited outbound bandwidth like past years. This can be attributed to several reasons; firstly we draw a quite a bit of traffic, as a result we no longer use a shared server but our own dedicated servers which obviously means we no longer use free servers, like in the early days of our existence. If you want a website which is going to be up and accessible 24 hours a day, like we try to maintain here at TweakTown, you have to pay for it - and this usually includes outbound bandwidth transfer. Because of this, webmasters spreading the globe have to continually look at new ways of reducing the amount of bandwidth their websites use for the simple reason, bandwidth is not cheap. Being a tech site, we include a lot of JPEG (or JPG as they are also known as - I will refer to JPEG as JPG in this article. "JPG" is the three letter DOS extension of JPEG) images in our content, which is one of the biggest elements of our website that draws the most amount of bandwidth.
As a side note, a new version of JPG is currently being developed, currently dubbed JPEG2000. This new version of JPG is apparently set to improve the current JPG compression making images load quicker by improved compression methods. According to the JPEG2000 website: "The JPEG 2000 initiative is intended to provide a new image coding system using state of the art compression techniques, based on the use of wavelet technology. Its architecture should lend itself to a wide range of uses from portable digital cameras through to its use in advanced pre-press, medical imaging and other key sectors."
I've written this basic article for webmasters and site owners showing how they can significantly reduce the amount of bandwidth they use by compressing JPG images, one of the most common formats for web images. While we don't normally publish web development type content like this on our site, looking around at various sites, I thought this article may prove to be useful for some. This article was not intended to be read by experienced webmasters with knowledge in the area of JPG compression, but webmasters who don't know how to tweak images by compressing them down thus saving incredible amounts of bandwidth and decreasing page load times, yet maintaining image quality.

There's something incredibly warm about Jamie Lidell, and his infectious 2005 album, Multiply. This Berlin-based Brit is gifted with pipes that would have been right at home on Motown, and his tunes are full of thoughtful grooves, inspired phrasing, and impossible-to-resist choruses. At times, Lidell sounds like someone who took a young Jackson 5 for a trip in Dr. Who's Tardis. Lidell recently released a boffo set of live cuts and remixes called Multiply Additions. The set nods back to his electronic roots in Super_Collider with Cristian Vogel, and features sharp, dancefloor ready revisionings by Luke Vibert, Four Tet, and Mocky. Lidell took time to speak to Pitchfork after a "slightly aggro" performance at San Francisco's Great American Music Hall where he transformed himself into a one-man funk juggernaut who's not afraid to cry.
Pitchfork: You're not what most people think of when they hear the phrase, "electronic musician." Do you even consider yourself an electronic musician?
Jamie Lidell: Well, I've definitely dabbled with a lot of it in my time. There is a lot of electronic machinery around me when I play and in my studio, and the way I make music is fueled and aided and assisted by electronics. I'm definitely well acquainted with electronic instruments, and I love them. I see myself as a hybrid musician. Electronics are pretty crucial to how I do my shit.
If I don't keep it varied I go a bit stir crazy, you know? If I don't have the opportunity to jump genres every now and again I feel I'm boxed-in.
Pitchfork: The idea of making someone stick to one genre has more to do with marketing and manufacturing than it does with music, which usually doesn't want to be pushed into straightjackets.
Lidell: They have difficulty racking my stuff. Every record store I go to has it in a different rack.
Pitchfork: Do you ever move product when you're in a shop?
Lidell: I've done that many times. I often go up and ask the staff to ask, out of curiosity, "Who racked this here?" They take me to the person responsible and we have a quick word [laughs].
Pitchfork: What section do you think you belong in?
Lidell: That depends on the shop. I might put it in outsider music or pop, just go for the big guns. That's where Motown belongs, right? If it has a lot of sections I'll end up putting it above the James Blunt CDs since he ripped off my bloody artwork and he's selling millions of records! I try to get people to buy mine accidentally.
It's a despicable world we're living in now. It's the most disgusting time for music in terms of big wigs, guys who like playing the game. It's hard to get your stuff heard. I find it really annoying actually. I think my music would appeal to a lot of people but being on Warp in the States it's really hard to get radio play and exposure. We need to push this internet revolution forward quickly.
Pitchfork: Your music is extraordinarily accessible. It's not trying to be elusive or arty.
Lidell: I deliberately did that [with Multiply], partly to see if I could do it and on the other hand the laptop stuff that had dictated my past, well, I wasn't reaching for those CDs anymore. I just wanted to have some songs I could stand behind, and when I'm on stage just be loving it.
People ask me why I did that and I think perhaps it's because Berlin is quite a gray place and I needed to sympathize with a bit of sunshine. I find it quite difficult to analyze my own motives for things. I tend to go with a gut feeling in the moment. I had to have this kind of honey-for-your-cornflakes kind of sound. I wanted this to be a record you can listen to in the morning. That kind of music really saves my ass. When I'm feeling weird or a bit whatever I need that CD I can grab, slap on, and get a smile on.
Pitchfork: To many people, accessible music seems less artistic or less true, but it seems as if it's a bit harder to make and do well than music that's dark or depressing or sinister.
Lidell: It's much harder. I could throw out the other kind of albums with my eyes closed. I wouldn't belittle those who want to do the Tricky thing, but it does make me wonder sometimes. There's a certain kind of pleasure in being part of the hip crowd. I think in general people are bloody in need of some songs. We've come up hugely lacking. I kind of took a risk taking the song angle and I've never looked back. It's been a sweet ride so far.
Pitchfork: Do you think you could go back to making more abstract, aggressive electronic stuff?
Lidell: Definitely. I do it when I'm doing the live show. All kinds of music comes out that I'm not prepared for. Some of it is good, some of it rubbish, but I kind of accept it all. That's the nature of stream-of-consciousness. You can't always come up with your most lucid material in the heat of the moment. I take that risk when I play live. I open up my mind, however fertile a creative springboard it is that evening.
Pitchfork: It's a very different approach to improvisation. Often when you hear that word it implies something cerebral or bookish and there's nothing academic about your very physical approach.
Lidell: It all comes from wanting to make music with my voice. I've trained on that as my primary instrument. Once I get my head around what that means, it's great. There are very few doors that close and a lot that open. I must admit, today during soundcheck I'm in a bit of a bad mood. It's a gray, shitty day and I came across a few too many ales last night. I'm in this weird, slightly groggy, grumpy mood where I've noticed my mind is giving me nothing. Sometimes you just hit a dry patch where you wonder, "How the fuck did I ever do this?" Creativity is such a weird thing. You do have these crazy dry patches.
Pitchfork: To expect it to happen on cue every night is a hard thing.
Lidell: I'm always constantly battling with that. I think I need a Plan B [laughs]. Thankfully, I've always been able to pull something out of the bag in the heat of the moment. I do really enjoy having a crowd of people out to see me. They really motivate me. I feel really lucky they've come down so I give it what I have got every time.
Pitchfork: Tell me a bit about "The Machine," which is the contraption you use to change your voice on stage.
Lidell: There's actually two machines. I bought a new one in L.A. before the San Francisco show, so I'm very much rubbish at using it at the moment. Don't know its limits yet. One of them is called a Ring Modulator, which is thankfully not an anal device. It's just a carrier wave like a synthesizer in an antagonistic formation against the incoming signal. So you get this robotizing effect. The other one is like a genetic help for my larynx to give me a little low-end extension so I can do that giant bass I wouldn't be capable of as a normal humanoid. That's about it really for trickery with my voice. The rest of it is all larynx and pressure.
Pitchfork: You get an awful lot going at once, with loops and beats and back-up vocal parts. Do you ever feel overwhelmed in the middle of everything?
Lidell: Oh God, yeah! It's sort of like plate spinning. I just throw myself into this mad frenzy, whip up a storm and see what comes through.
The layering of sound is by no means a two-dimensional process. Even though I've been doing it for a number of years, the diversity of it is so intriguing. It's a bit like traveling across the water. Though you may have done it time and time again it always hits you in a different way. The most important thing for me-- and the thing I get frustrated about when I don't achieve it-- is momentum. Sometimes you hit on it quite naturally and other times it's a mad struggle.
Pitchfork: It's true. It seems like with creative stuff it's usually either there from the start or it isn't. When you struggle at it things tend to be imperfect in the end.
Lidell: I know, I know. It's weird isn't it? You try your fucking hardest to find abstract solutions, throwing stuff at it like trying to stop yourself from sneezing by catching yourself unawares. You try to convince yourself you're going to surprise yourself but ultimately you can't. That's one of the benefits of electronic instrumentation-- it feeds moments of serendipity that kind of save your ass.
There's a difference between writing, the written word, and music. When you have the blank page it doesn't make a sound, which is like what happens to me every night when I'm playing. There is that crazy moment: the first mark you make on the page. But sound can inspire sound, in a way that words can't inspire words-- at least for me. The nature of sound itself is still a huge mystery to me. I'm very happy about that.
Pitchfork: Your face registers that surprise when you perform. We can see that you've hit upon something new, which in turn unleashes a whole bunch of other new things.
Lidell: There's very much a domino effect when I'm playing. In fact, that's a good way of putting it. I'm trying to topple all the dominos in a single stroke. That would be a show with perfect momentum. Every now and again, you get one of those dominos that moves to the side a little bit, traps things and you have to stand them all up again and see if people will go with you. They'll let you off a few times but if you make too many mistakes they'll get a bit anxious. I do my best to make music spontaneously. It's very personal in a way. It's really a direct connection between me and anyone who's watching. I don't want to be in my own bubble. I'm reaching out.

New Richmond girls soccer hopes to continue climbing
A 3-0 win by the New Richmond girls soccer team moved the Tigers into second place in the Middle Border Conference standings.
With games against two of the bottom teams in the MBC standings this Thursday and Friday, the Tigers hope to do more to secure their place among the leaders of the conference.
Monday's win over Barron was a good test for the Tigers, because they were playing without the team's seniors, who were involved in the school's Senior Night activities.

Wrigley Field, Chicago, Illinois
The Colorado Rockies' plan for their starting staff has shown dividends lately, but they still haven't figured out a way to improve their fielding.
After having their season high-tying five-game win streak snapped, the Rockies will try to have an error-free game while beginning another run Saturday against the Chicago Cubs.Manager Jim Tracy put his starters on a 75-pitch limit when Colorado went to a four-man rotation in the middle of June, and he plans to stay with it even though his team is back to a five-man rotation following Jhoulys Chacin's return from the disabled list."You have to have a group of pitchers who go out there and understand what quality major league pitching is all about. That's the message we're trying to instill here," Tracy told the team's official website. "If they go out there and do it right, they can pitch deep. I can promise you that."Rockies starters have thrived lately, posting a 2.00 ERA over the last six games, but the bullpen couldn't protect a one-run lead in Friday's series opener at Wrigley Field.After Brett Jackson hit Chicago's third solo homer of the day, Joe Mather singled in the go-ahead run during the eighth inning of a 5-3 win. Colorado's two subsequent errors in the frame led to an insurance run for the Cubs.The Rockies' 95 errors are among the most in the majors.Alex White (2-6, 5.55 ERA) will try to help Colorado (50-74), which has won nine of 12, bounce back while being more efficient with his limited pitches. The right-hander has a 3.38 ERA in five starts since being recalled from the minors Aug. 2 after posting a 6.45 ERA in 10 starts before being sent down June 25.White is winless in his last nine starts and hasn't pitched past the fourth inning in each of his last four outings. He had a 29-pitch opening frame Monday against New York and threw 83 over four innings of a 3-1 victory."Eighty-three pitches in four innings, we want better than that," Tracy said.White will make his first start against the Cubs (48-76), whose .219 average in August is their worst of any month in 2012. Chicago also has its highest ERA (4.97) of any month this season.Brooks Raley (1-2, 7.63) will try to help his club lower that mark while building on his first major league victory. In his third career start, the left-hander gave up four runs and five hits over 5 1/3 innings to beat Cincinnati 9-7 last Saturday."You always hear the first (win) isn't easy. The first one is definitely a tough one to get out of the way," Raley told the team's official website.That victory was one of the Cubs' five over the past 23 games, but they have won three of four at Wrigley Field.Chicago is 3-7 in its last 10 against Colorado but has taken 13 of the past 16 meetings at home.Copyright by STATS LLC and The Associated Press

I installed Biopython, but I am unable to get the computer to recognize the modules. For example, I create a text file in Komodo like this:
from Bio.Alphabet import IUPAC
from Bio import Seq
and run it in terminal and receive:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "bio.py", line 1, in <module>
from Bio.Alphabet import IUPAC
ImportError: No module named Bio.Alphabet
For the record, I can't get modules to import in interactive mode either. The documentation states that I can append the module search path by exporting to an environmental variable called PYTHONPATH (like with PATH), but when I type 'env' into the terminal, I see no environmental variable of the sort. I'm a biologist--not a computer scientist or programmer. Please bear with my naiveté if this sounds like nonsense.
