Merlin Project Express Tutorial

Futurist Paul Guercio and physicist George Hart of the Merlin Project joined John B. Wells to discuss their software-based forecasting technology and latest Timetraks predictions. Hart described their system as a 'seismograph of what the future will look like for individuals, for countries, for events,' based on predictive time patterns. Merlin Project Express is the slickest project management app for the Mac – optimized for home and semi-professional users. Do you only work on projects occasionally? Then subscribing to Merlin Project Express is precisely for you. Only pay when you actually use. Merlin Project allows you to either type in your project's phases or drag-n-draw them directly on the Gantt chart. This way, you'll have a good overview within moments. The Resources are nicely integrated into the project, leading to a very usable Assignments view to check critical days.

Merlin is a new programming language, easy to integrate as a control-language or scripting language for any .NET application. In brief, a hybrid between Python and Javascript, Merlin is continually being updated to support new and interesting programming paradigms. Programming in Merlin aims to be:

Flexible: The language tries to provide many ways of doing things without overwhelming the user or student. The idea is to let people express code in different ways, using the same language and tools. Merlin supports procedural development, object-oriented development and sports increasing support for functional programming and meta programming.

Fun: When adding things to the language or libraries, the benchmark I use is the Rule of Fun. Merlin is meant to be fun to code in (I mean, come on, you can merge objects, dynamically inject interfaces, create your own function chains, generate and run dynamic source code, reflect over objects like Lists and an ever-growing list of such wankery). Many of these things might not represent the best patterns to use, but they are fun, they facilitate doing things in interesting ways and make prototyping and development fast. If you've ever wished you could do something inelegant but effective and practical in another language, chances are you can in Merlin.

Fast: Although Merlin is reasonably quick, when I say fast I mean in terms of development time and prototyping and making rapid change. Everything from creating integration libraries to writing powerful Merlin is meant to be quick; and it generally is. Merlin encourages dynamic code generation and dynamic objects and brevity of syntax, although brevity is always a choice on the part of the developer.

Friendly: The last criteria for a new language feature or construct in Merlin is the somewhat intangible 'friendliness'. Merlin lets you do all kinds of crazy things, but it tries to make it hard to shoot yourself in the foot without knowing where. The Rule of Fun and the Rule of Flexible mean that Merlin certainly allows you to blast your whole leg off with a shotgun if you'd like. The Rule of Friendly means you at least have to click the safety off.

Merlin Express Fairchild Swearingen SA-227AT Merlin IVC

Merlin Express was a Part 135/121 cargo and passenger airline operating at its peak throughout the United States, North and South Caribbean, South America, Alaska, and Mexico. The airline began operations in 1983 as Sat-Air, a subsidiary of Fairchild Aircraft. UPS purchased 14 Merlin IV-C dedicated cargo aircraft from Fairchild and as part of the agreement, Fairchild agreed to provide crew and maintenance services for the aircraft. Similar contracts were signed with the United States Air Force for C-26 sales, though only maintenance add on services were included. Initially, all Merlin Express aircraft provided feeder service to United Parcel Service and were painted in UPS livery. In the ensuing years, the airline began to acquire additional aircraft from its parent Fairchild, and from the open market, incorporating freight service contracts for Federal Express, DHL, and Airborne Express. By 1998, Merlin Express was operating a fleet of approximately 30 Metro III, Merlin IV-C, and Metro II aircraft. In 1996, Merlin successfully gained certification as a passenger Part 121 carrier and operated passenger service routes in Alaska under contract for Yute Air. In 1997, Fairchild Aircraft acquired Dornier Aircraft of Germany and Merlin began preparations for the addition of D-328 aircraft to its fleet. As the airline's parent company began to confront cash problems, Merlin Express, Gen-Aero FBO Services, and other subsidiary companies of Fairchild Dornier Aerospace were sold-off in order to generate needed cash. Merlin Express was purchased by Corporate Air of Billings, Montana in 2000 and renamed 'Merlin Airways'. Fairchild Dornier Aerospace declared bankruptcy in 2002. Under new owners, Merlin Express' original route network was shrunk and was eventually centered on the airline's remaining hubs in Miami and San Juan, Puerto Rico. ^[2] Currently based at Rafael Hernández International Airport in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. The airline still flies to some Caribbean islands, the Turks and Caicos Islands and the Dominican Republic.
