Country Angels, And Their Mercies
I am thinking of time--
I am thinking of Spring, and the sun-seeking wheat,
Reaching up for her face like babies.
I am thinking of beginnings,
And how things start,
And of you with the sore and sorrowful heart.
Here in a September field,
I am thinking of time--
I am thinking of the scarecrow-ess, who needs to nurture,
And so kisses the birds who eat the wheat.
I am thinking of endings,
And how things are,
And of you with the sad and sorrowful heart.
In time, the time of angels comes,
And even the oak leaves finally fall;
Enfolded in frost-sweet brown-feathered wings,
You will sigh, and not think of time
At all.

You use the repetition here so softly, each phrase falls like a snowflake exactly where it's supposed to, building up in drifts of snow white image and emotion. Beautiful poem, full of soul. I didn't see how you could surpass the first stanza till I read the second, and so on to the sheer beauty of the ending lines. Fine writing, my friend, every word.

This is a beautiful poem. At this time of year I also think about beginnings and endings. I love autumn colors, but it is a kind of sad season to me and makes me think of my own season of life. I liked your last stanza. When angels come, no one will think of time.

This is such a lovely poem. I like that the repetition doesn't smack you in the face. It's more like the up and down swells in a calm ocean. I love the image of a scarecrow-ess kissing the birds!

Absolutely beautiful writing. The mood, the ache, the phrasing.....the brilliance of the "scarecrow-ess who needs to nurture", the closing lines "enfolded in frost-sweet brown-feathered wings"........sigh. So beautiful and sad and wonderful. I dont know how you maintain such a high calibre of writing month after month but am so very glad I am privileged to read it.

In time, the time of angels comes,
And even the oak leaves finally fall;
Enfolded in frost-sweet brown-feathered wings,
You will sigh, and not think of time
At all.
Heavens, I should have come bearing gifts for this jewel. As one who would kiss the birds no matter the job description I loved this deeply. You astound with each deft encircling of the theme. Thank you. (word verification, wings)

I feel the same way during autumn, thinking of beginnings and endings.
Love the reflective voice as well as the sad and sorrowful heart ~

the sad and sorrowful heart...
in time, you won't think of time at all....
what an amazing truth that is while grieving...

I want to thank everyone for all the incredibly kind comments. They really put a smile on my face!
September always makes me feel melancholy, and a a little bit restless and nostalgic.

autumn makes me feel melancholic as well..love how you blend the beginnings and endings together with a sadness and a longing for all that spring stands for...

Love how you conspire with sadness in the Spring of Fall September mornings to make it seem so calm.
Wish I could have your thoughts by my side when my sojourn with time begets sadness.
Thanks for such a lovely piece.

"...frost-sweet brown-feathered wings." What a gorgeous line.
I agree--the bits of repetition, plus the touch of rhyme--is just right for this piece.
I'll say it again: We're so glad you're back, Shay!

This is one of the most beautiful pieces of poetry that has such wonderful lines. The time of the year and the beautiful bitter sweetness combined together.

Beginnings to ends, another year, another bit of autumnal sadness and you celebrate it so delicately with your repetitive images of wheat, sun, bright leaves, and fallen trees. I sense the quick and the dead so near right now. You bring it into focus here. Beautiful.

Somber beauty this is. I try not to think so much (usually without success) - it's bad for my health. (sigh)

Strange. Just today I was thinking of life. How it begins, how it ends, and what we experience in between these two states. I think your poems sums it up beautifully.

This was beautifully sad...I love the idea of "I am thinking of the scarecrow-ess, who needs to nurture,
And so kisses the birds who eat the wheat." this was, as usual, wonderful writing!

How beautiful! This would be the quintessential funeral poem for the right (and deserving) type.
Re: videos, thank you for letting me know about the Lightfoot vid being removed. I replaced it now...
And this one, It's A Beautiful Day: I can hardly find the words to express what a powerful effect it had on a few years in my life that were made more crystal because of it. Years later, here in Oregon, in a small pub I danced in front of the floor-level stage to David LaFlamme and his later group, who did most of IABD's old songs. On break, he came to my table and we seemed to be almost like siblings we talked so deeply. It was a snowy night. I returned with him to his motel room after their last set, and we smoked m. and talked & talked--mostly about his relationship and how much he missed a normal life. He signed an 8x11 b&w photo of himself with a beautiful message on the back that spoke about soul connections after I had called a taxi. We kissed lightly at the open door and that is my story about David LaFlamme.
Ooh, weird. The word veri is shipsyn...as in ships-in- the-night?

Maybe it's my mood, but this poem made tear up. It seemed so sad, especially the last line.
I did enjoy reading aloud and Hedgewitch is so right about the repetition...it's a light touch, but a perfect balance.

Each word more beautiful than the last all the way to the truly exquisite ending.

Beginnings and endings - lovely. September does seem like a melancholy month - and it's the end of one season and the beginning of another. Hope you are well and happy today, FB.

Opinion: The "Defund ObamaCare" Caucus Retreats
Wonder Land columnist Dan Henninger on why Tea Party Republicans are backing away from a plan to link budget talks with a bid to defund ObamaCare. Photo: Associated Press
This transcript has been automatically generated and may not be 100% accurate.
I ... I ... I ... the it's the not to Capitol Hill in what looks like ... the GOP caucus that was bent on defining Obamacare ... is making a little bit of a retreat ... here's the statement from Republican Senator Ted Cruz one of the leaders of this effort in she said and I quote ... Harry Reid will no doubt try to strip the defund language from the continuing resolution and right now he's likely has the votes to do so ... at that point House Republicans must stand firm ... hold their ground ... and continued to listen to the American ... people I've got Wonderland Columnist and Henninger here to talk about what's going on ... I he is so tan ... fur from for months now you've had this crusade ... to have the house ... link ... the funding to the budget battles the need of this what's going on ... well it done China looks like the Keystone cops no such thing ... the idea that in either party would like to call but Dom ... it is clear that Tom the senator's like Ted Cruz in the Senate just did not have a real strategy for completing the de fund Obamacare ... and does so now he has made the statement that has enraged some of the members of the Hollis who felt their being hung up the drive by this ... and ah there's no real walking back from a day looks like the speak urbane or moral will put through a continuing resolution with ... the de funding of Obamacare and send it to the Senate ... Harry Reid will immediately strip that out ... and send it back to the tothe house which I think will probably pass the simple continuing resolution if ... the Democrats don't themselves try to start playing games by say putting in awe measure two and the sequester ... to further kind of get the Republicans opposed to a continuing resolution out in your column today talked about the present in the environment the political environment he's been in Washington ... or he just refuses to lead Asian politics ... aam I met this week read a lot of frustration is there that were these ... items I think so Mary efforts are coming from one of the frustration yet I mean there's just obviously a lot of infighting between the parties and among the parties themselves and I think the real the real reason is happening is this is been going on for nearly five years ... Barack Obama they say is the most anti political president we've had in the postwar period he doesn't do political negotiation with members of Congress ... on if you have something difficult like this usually on LBJ arrived Oakland the bushes would have tried to talk through what politics is hard well nobody's really doing that kind of politics will that's what they come to Washington to do ... and I think in the absence to have this vacuum ... and is filling up with these kind of strategies these intense feelings about the funding Obamacare on top of that ... you've got ... Twitter ... and you've got these members of Congress Tweety and so ... in ... criticizing one another in public I think that ... tweeting worsened again it become even ... bigger than the political war one-on-one and ... actually one of those to it's it's from Sean Duffy is the kind of Republican House ... leader said he responded to Ted Cruz he says ... House agrees to send CR to Senate that the fund's ObamaCare Ted Cruz and Mike we refuse to fight ... wave white flag and surrender ... aam it that's not in finding that's that's the GOP blowing itself up from the inside ... of the ending is the White House successful in the strategy and in this is good for them to think the White House strategy pretty clearly is too low blow off the Washington process perhaps initiate up or shut down because the Republicans refuse to participate ... and then blame the Republicans ... and apropos of what Ted Cruz's to said today about not having the votes in the Senate ... I'm really do not see that the Republican rebels as we might say ... have a strategy for dealing with the nightmarish public relations that would fall on them if there is a government shutdown ... I just don't see all the talk themselves out of that and at some level ... with any get blame By Summly's independent voters and I think ... the last thing they wanna do is put the risk that majority in the house and that's clearly what Brock Obama as he said from day one of his second term ... is trying to overturn why get to work in WA helping with that strategy ... it's a great question I hope they're watching Wonderland Columnist and Henninger thank so much thank you Mary

UFC president Dana White was very proud of the fight card leading up to UFC on Fuel TV 5 on Saturday in Nottinham, England.
As his fighters delivered at Capital FM Arena, White delivered with his checkbook – to the tune of $40,000 each – for the athletes that won the UFC on Fuel TV 5 fighter bonuses.
Robert Peralta probably thought for a while that he may have wrapped up the Knockout of the Night, but those hopes were most certainly dashed when Brad Pickett laid Georges St-Pierre teammate Yves Jabouin out cold.
Jabouin had been looking good in the fight, landing several hard shots of his own, but when Pickett struck, one well-timed uppercut was all it took to lay out Jabouin and collect the $40,000 bonus.
With several to choose from, the Submission of the Night wasn't so clear-cut.
Heading into UFC on Fuel TV 5, Paul Sass was a favorite to earn the submission bonus, but it was his opponent, Matt Wiman, that turned the tables. Not only did Wiman end Sass' undefeated streak, but he also pulled off the armbar victory to earn the Submission of the Night.
UFC heavyweights usually pack a lot of power in their punches, just by the nature of the mass behind them. That held true in the main event with seven-foot-tall Stefan Struve and six-foot-four Stipe Miocic going at each other.
Each had his moments, landing some heavy punches on the other, but it was Struve in the second round that finally caught Miocic with an uppercut that started the dominoes falling. Struve followed up with several more shots to finish the fight and get the win.
Both men were impressive enough that UFC officials declared their bout the Fight of the Night, each going home with a wallet that was $40,000 fatter.
Stay tuned to MMAWeekly.com for all of your UFC on Fuel TV 5 post-fight coverage.

We first showed you what it looked and sounded like last week, when members of the Southern Miss pep band put their ignorance on full display by taking aim at Kansas State's Angel Rodriguez during the first round of the NCAA tournament. In case you missed it, we've again posted the video for you above.
The school has since taken action, according to this email, which went around this morning to members of the Southern Miss faculty and staff:

The University has completed its review of the incident that occurred during last Thursday's NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament game and is taking disciplinary action against five members of the pep band.
The students have had their pep band scholarships revoked, have been removed from the band, and will be required to complete a two-hour cultural sensitivity training course this week.

This is actually a bug fix, but some code has come to rely on the bug being present, so this change is listed here. The current locale that the program is running under is not supposed to be visible to Perl code except within the scope of a
use locale. However, until now under certain circumstances, the character used for a decimal point (often a comma) leaked outside the scope. If your code is affected by this change, simply add a
use locale.
Performance Enhancements
Perl has a new copy-on-write mechanism that avoids the need to copy the internal string buffer when assigning from one scalar to another. This makes copying large strings appear much faster. Modifying one of the two (or more) strings after an assignment will force a copy internally. This makes it unnecessary to pass strings by reference for efficiency.
This feature was already available in 5.18.0, but wasn't enabled by default. It is the default now, and so you no longer need build perl with the Configure argument:
It can be disabled (for now) in a perl build with:

Changes to Existing Documentation
goto EXPRis now documented to handle an expression that evalutes to a code reference as if it was

eval EXPRnow has caveats about expanding floating point numbers in some locales
Noted that
chompcan reset the hash iterator
\cKis marked experimental
ithreads were accepted in 5.8.0
Long doubles are not experimental
Update to mention fc(), \F
There is now a JavaScript section.
The following additions or changes have been made to diagnostic output, including warnings and fatal error messages. For the complete list of diagnostic messages, see perldiag.
New Warnings
A sequence of multiple spaces in a charnames alias definition is deprecated
Trailing white-space in a charnames alias definition is deprecated
These two deprecation warnings involving
\N{...}were incorrectly implemented. They did not warn by default (now they do) and could not be made fatal via
use warnings FATAL => 'deprecated'(now they can).
Utility Changes
bisect.pl enhancements
The git bisection tool Porting/bisect.pl has had many enhancements.
Can optionally run the test case with a timeout.
Can now run in-place in a clean git checkout.
Can run the test case under
Can apply user supplied patches and fixes to the source checkout before building.
Now has fixups to enable building several more historical ranges of bleadperl, which can be useful for pinpointing the origins of bugs or behaviour changes.
It is provided as part of the source distribution but not installed because it is not self-contained as it relies on being run from within a git checkout. Note also that it makes no attempt to fix tests, correct runtime bugs or make something useful to install - its purpose is to make minimal changes to get any historical revision of interest to build and run as close as possible to "as-was", and thereby make
git bisect easy to use.
Platform Support
Discontinued Platforms
DG/UX was a Unix sold by Data General. The last release was in April 2001. It only runs on Data General's own hardware.
Platform-Specific Notes
- Mixed-endian platforms
The code supporting
unpackoperations on mixed endian platforms has been removed. We believe that Perl has long been unable to build on mixed endian architectures (such as PDP-11s), so we don't think that this change will affect any platforms which are able to build v5.18.0.
- Windows
The BUILD_STATIC and ALL_STATIC makefile options for linking some or (nearly) all extensions statically (into perl519.dll, and into a separate perl-static.exe too) were broken for MinGW builds. This has now been fixed.
The ALL_STATIC option has also been improved to include the Encode and Win32 extensions (for both VC++ and MinGW builds).
Internal Changes
Perl's new copy-on-write mechanism (which is now enabled by default), allows any
SvPOKscalar to be automatically upgraded to a copy-on-write scalar when copied. A reference count on the string buffer is stored in the string buffer itself.
For example:
$ perl -MDevel::Peek -e'$a="abc"; $b = $a; Dump $a; Dump $b' SV = PV(0x260cd80) at 0x2620ad8 REFCNT = 1 FLAGS = (POK,IsCOW,pPOK) PV = 0x2619bc0 "abc"\0 CUR = 3 LEN = 16 COW_REFCNT = 1 SV = PV(0x260ce30) at 0x2620b20 REFCNT = 1 FLAGS = (POK,IsCOW,pPOK) PV = 0x2619bc0 "abc"\0 CUR = 3 LEN = 16 COW_REFCNT = 1
Note that both scalars share the same PV buffer and have a COW_REFCNT greater than zero.
This means that XS code which wishes to modify the
SvPVX()buffer of an SV should call
SvPV_force()or similar first, to ensure a valid (and unshared) buffer, and to call
SvSETMAGIC()afterwards. This in fact has always been the case (for example hash keys were already copy-on-write); this change just spreads the COW behaviour to a wider variety of SVs.
One important difference is that before 5.18.0, shared hash-key scalars used to have the
SvREADONLYflag set; this is no longer the case.
This new behaviour can still be disabled by running Configure with -Accflags=-DPERL_NO_COW. This option will probably be removed in Perl 5.22.
PL_sawampersandis now a constant. The switch this variable provided (to enable/disable the pre-match copy depending on whether
$&had been seen) has been removed and replaced with copy-on-write, eliminating a few bugs.
The previous behaviour can still be enabled by running Configure with -Accflags=-DPERL_SAWAMPERSAND.
The functions
my_ntohlhave been removed. It is unclear why these functions were ever marked as A, part of the API. XS code can't call them directly, as it can't rely on them being compiled. Unsurprisingly, no code on CPAN references them.
The signature of the
Perl_re_intuit_start()regex function has changed; the function pointer
intuitin the regex engine plugin structure has also changed accordingly. A new parameter,
strbeghas been added; this has the same meaning as the same-named parameter in
Perl_regexec_flags. Previously intuit would try to guess the start of the string from the passed SV (if any), and would sometimes get it wrong (e.g. with an overloaded SV).
XS code may use various macros to change the case of a character or code point (for example
toLOWER_utf8()). Only a couple of these were documented until now; and now they should be used in preference to calling the underlying functions. See "Character case changing" in perlapi.
The code dealt rather inconsistently with uids and gids. Some places assumed that they could be safely stored in UVs, others in IVs, others in ints. Four new macros are introduced: SvUID(), sv_setuid(), SvGID(), and sv_setgid()
Selected Bug Fixes
The OP allocation code now returns correctly aligned memory in all cases for
struct pmop. Previously it could return memory only aligned to a 4-byte boundary, which is not correct for an ithreads build with 64 bit IVs on some 32 bit platforms. Notably, this caused the build to fail completely on sparc GNU/Linux. [RT #118055]
The debugger's
mancommand been fixed. It was broken in the v5.18.0 release. The
mancommand is aliased to the names
perldoc- all now work again.
@_is now correctly visible in the debugger, fixing a regression introduced in v5.18.0's debugger. [RT #118169]
Evaluating large hashes in scalar context is now much faster, as the number of used chains in the hash is now cached for larger hashes. Smaller hashes continue not to store it and calculate it when needed, as this saves one IV. That would be 1 IV overhead for every object built from a hash. [RT #114576]
Fixed a small number of regexp constructions that could either fail to match or crash perl when the string being matched against was allocated above the 2GB line on 32-bit systems. [RT #118175]
Perl v5.16 inadvertently introduced a bug whereby calls to XSUBs that were not visible at compile time were treated as lvalues and could be assigned to, even when the subroutine was not an lvalue sub. This has been fixed. [RT #117947]
In Perl v5.18.0 dualvars that had an empty string for the string part but a non-zero number for the number part starting being treated as true. In previous versions they were treated as false, the string representation taking precedeence. The old behaviour has been restored. [RT #118159]
Since Perl v5.12, inlining of constants that override built-in keywords of the same name had countermanded
use subs, causing subsequent mentions of the constant to use the built-in keyword instead. This has been fixed.
Lexical constants (
my sub a() { 42 }) no longer crash when inlined.
Parameter prototypes attached to lexical subroutines are now respected when compiling sub calls without parentheses. Previously, the prototypes were honoured only for calls with parentheses. [RT #116735]
Syntax errors in lexical subroutines in combination with calls to the same subroutines no longer cause crashes at compile time.
Deep recursion warnings no longer crash lexical subroutines. [RT #118521]
The warning produced by
-l $handlenow applies to IO refs and globs, not just to glob refs. That warning is also now UTF8-clean. [RT #117595]
Various memory leaks involving the parsing of the
(?[...])regular expression construct have been fixed.
(?[...])now allows interpolation of precompiled patterns consisting of
(?[...])with bracketed character classes inside (
$pat = qr/(?[ [a] ])/; /(?[ $pat ])/). Formerly, the brackets would confuse the regular expression parser.
The "Quantifier unexpected on zero-length expression" warning message could appear twice starting in Perl v5.10 for a regular expression also containing alternations (e.g., "a|b") triggering the trie optimisation.
delete local $ENV{nonexistent_env_var}no longer leaks memory.
requirefollowed by a keyword prefixed with
CORE::now treat it as a keyword, and not as a subroutine or module name. [RT #24482]
Through certain conundrums, it is possible to cause the current package to be freed. Certain operators (
eval) could not cope and would crash. They have been made more resilient. [RT #117941]
Aliasing filehandles through glob-to-glob assignment would not update internal method caches properly if a package of the same name as the filehandle existed, resulting in filehandle method calls going to the package instead. This has been fixed.
./Configure -de -Dusevendorprefixdidn't default [RT #64126]
Statement unlikely to be reachedwarning was listed in perldiag as an
exec-category warning, but was enabled and disabled by the
syntaxcategory. On the other hand, the
execcategory controlled its fatal-ness. It is now entirely handled by the
The "Replacement list is longer that search list" warning for
y///no longer occurs in the presence of the
/cflag. [RT #118047]
Perl v5.18 inadvertently introduced a bug whereby interpolating mixed up- and down-graded UTF-8 strings in a regex could result in malformed UTF-8 in the pattern: specifically if a downgraded character in the range
\x80..\xfffollowed a UTF-8 string, e.g.
utf8::upgrade( my $u = "\x{e5}"); utf8::downgrade(my $d = "\x{e5}"); /$u$d/
Stringification of NVs are not cached so that the lexical locale controls stringification of the decimal point [perl #108378] [perl #115800]

TAMPA, Fla., March 24 (UPI) -- The Tampa Bay Lightning said Sunday it fired head coach Guy Boucher as the team's playoff hopes dwindled.
Assistant Coaches Marty Raymond and Dan Lacroix were slated to run the team for Sunday's game at Winnipeg; however the Tampa Bay Times said there was early speculation former Buffalo Sabres coach Lindy Ruff was on the short list to replace Boucher.
Ruff has ties to Lightning General Manager Steve Yzerman, who said in a written statement he was unhappy with "the direction we are heading."
"I believe making a change today is in the best interest of our franchise," the statement said.
Boucher led Tampa Bay to the 2010-2011 Eastern Conference finals in his first season behind the bench. But he compiled a 13-17-1 record this season and appeared unlikely to make the playoffs for the second consecutive time.
The Lightning lost Saturday night to Ottawa 5-3.

_ _ m The Banking Revolution s i f 1 rj . is i r *s «i Robert G. Stevens In a time of rapid change, the banking industry is at the forefront in experiencing an acceleration of change that is affecting organization, scope of services, and methods of bank management. One of the most compelling factors leading to this revolution is a growing demand for the elimination and simplification of paper work necessary to complete a business transaction. The adoption of MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) by the banking industry represents a milestone in this trend toward more efficient ways of conducting business transactions. This is only the beginning of the bank's role in this great movement. The banks must be involved in this movement simply because of their unique position in the community. On the one hand, banks handle the primary medium of communication between companies — the check. The volume of checks being processed is staggering — (about 1,250,000 items per day at one large New York bank). In the long run this means of communication of financial transactions must be improved and new business conventions and laws must evolve in order to develop new methods of exchanging value acceptable to the business community. While this exchange function is vital in and of itself, it is also recognized that any other function which can be performed during the same handling of this exchange, or during the creation of this information, provides a further opportunity for the elimination and simplification of paper work. The bank also has another unique relationship in that it often has access to and communication with both participants in a business transaction. That is to say, for example, the banking industry is a servant both to you as an individual and to your retailer with whom you make many of your expenditures. Thereby it may be possible to clear all of your transactions with your retailer through your bank. Since the bank in order to process these transactions must go through certain steps which in turn a customer may also perform, it is in a position to assert that the duplication can only be eliminated if it alone performs these steps. This is significantly different from being a service bureau. A service bureau does not have these unique relationships or a position of trust within the community. At a time when this great technological trend is having its effect on banking, the banks are also experiencing a decline in demand deposits as a result of the efforts of corporate enterprise to keep its resources in some form of an earning asset. Instead of holding large bank balances, today's corporate treasurer invests in treasury bills or other short term governments. Time deposits are growing and the interest rates paid on them are at a long term high. A large segment of the potential banking business has been lost to the savings and loan associations, finance companies, credit unions, leasing companies, and other specialized financial institutions because of the failure of the banking industry to meet the needs served by these other institutions. In short, banking is caught up in a movement that is now changing and will continue for some time to change its customs and conventional ways of doing business; it is experiencing new and aggressive competition. It is caught in the profit squeeze, and to make things interesting, it is facing the possibility of audited financial statements by certified public accountants. Today there are action, dynamics, and excitement in banking. 32 THE QUARTERLY

Finally after a lot of minor problems I've finally built an alpha version of this map.
Remember, it's very much an alpha and might evolve a lot before the beta.
Some problems at the moment:
The map is around 30mb, I can probably reduce this down to 20mb, perhaps more. I tend to use quite hi res textures at first
The map contains a .rad file but I'm not happy with the results.
The compile messed up the smoothing on the models, this was my fault and I really didn't want to wait for another 6 hour compile.
Erm, have a look - welcome your views good or bad - this is my 10th map so I've heard it all.
The map supports bots and tdm/ctf - I don't remember if I added bomb spots - I've not added any other gametypes atm.
The map feels quite big but one you start motoring around it's quite quick to get from A-B.

F1@1F in New York Times, Green Bag
The First Lady of First One @ One First and I just returned home after a day at the National Museum of American History to find the Internet bearing two holiday gifts for F1@1F:
- For the third time this year, F1@1F will be in the pages of the New York Times. Adam Liptak's Sidebar column for tomorrow's paper, in which he writes about Sotomayor's spreading her liberal wings this term, concludes with references to this "amusing and astute post." Thank you for all of your support this year, Adam!
- In addition, my ABA Journal column from the final day of the 2009-10 term is among the "Recommended Reading" in this year's edition of the Green Bag Almanac and Reader (see page 9). I'm quite humbled and honored to be listed among some giants in Supreme Court reporting, and only hope my luck continues into 2011.
Thanks to all of my readers for making 2010 an extraordinary year. Keep your eye on the site later this week for a post commemorating F1@1F's one year anniversary.

Singapore, 24 October 2011 – Singapore Zoo, one of four wildlife parks managed by Wildlife Reserves Singapore (WRS) including the first river-themed attraction River Safari, goes digital with the launch of a Chinese mobile interactive trail for students. This exciting visitor experience uses location-based and Image Recognition Technology to create new learning activities for children at the zoo.
The trail employs the neumind approach, which focuses on visual recognition, and promotes words recognition, powerful memory ability and Chinese literary appreciation.
Today, 30 children from Greenridge Primary School will be among the first to try out this new mobile trail, which allows students to observe, explore and discover fascinating facts about the wildlife at the park. Instead of park guides and worksheets, trail participants will be equipped with specially configured smart phones. Pre-loaded content will be triggered by the phones' Global Positioning System (GPS) as they move around the park.
Upon arriving at a designated site, such as the Wild Africa exhibit for example, the mobile phones will come alive with specific instructions prompting participants to conduct a mini treasure-hunt to look for a specific object within an animal enclosure. Taking a picture of the correct object will enable the children to access imbedded interactive content related to the specific animal at the exhibit. This includes fascinating video clips showing zebras escaping attacks, cheetahs running at top speed and rhinos marking their territories.
"We are very excited about introducing this first of its kind student experience which places great emphasis on real-life usage and interaction skills through the learning of the Chinese language. We are confident this digital generation of young people will appreciate the interactivity and rich content provided by this mobile trail. At the same time, we hope they will take away valuable lessons about wildlife and conservation while becoming proficient and comfortable users of the language." said Ms May Lok, Director for Education, WRS.
The initiative is a collaboration between Wildlife Reserves Singapore, LDR Pte Ltd, CEOlution Pte Ltd and Neumind Learning Centre. Currently, the programme is only available to school groups. For more information, please contact the education department at email@example.com.

Exploring Rockies winter check list of possibilities
The Rockies began the offseason by unsuccessfully opening the vault for a Cuban defector, leaving them facing a winter of detractors.
It's an outgrowth of the standings: The fans see a team that has finished in last place in consecutive seasons and places second regularly for free agents. This isn't always the case. The Rockies won the bidding for outfielder Michael Cuddyer two years ago, reaping the reward of his three-year, $31.5-million contract when he won a batting title, a Silver Slugger and earned an all-star berth last season.
He represented their biggest free agent outlay since Mike Hampton and Denny Neagle received combined deals worth $175.3 million in December 2000. That's why the $63 million offer to Jose Abreu, who received $68 million from the White Sox, a team with his former Cuban teammates, was intriguing. It represented a bold move, absent for more than a decade.
This much is known: The Rockies have roughly $9 million to spend, if no one is traded (like outfielder Dexter Fowler), to upgrade their roster. There are multiple possibilities given that the team is open to trades, and recognizes areas that need obvious help:

Qaddafi's final days: Rage and despair
MISRATA, Libya - Muammar Qaddafi, Libya's all-powerful leader for four decades, spent his final weeks shuttling from hideout to hideout in his hometown of Sirte, alternating between rage and melancholy as his regime crumbled around him, said a Qaddafi confidant now in custody.
Qaddafi, his son Muatassim and an entourage of two dozen die-hard loyalists were largely cut off from the world while on the run, living in abandoned homes without TV, phones or electricity, said Mansour Dao, a member of the Qaddafi clan and chief bodyguard.
Qaddafi would spend his time reading, jotting down notes or brewing tea on a coal stove, Dao said late Monday in a conference room of the revolutionary forces' headquarters in the port city of Misrata, his temporary jail cell. "He was not leading the battle," Dao said of Qaddafi. "His sons did that. He did not plan anything or think about any plan."
A morbid cleanup left in Libya
Video: Libya after Qaddafi
The uprising against Qaddafi erupted in February and quickly escalated into a civil war that formally ended Sunday, with a declaration of liberation by Libya's new leaders.
Qaddafi's capture and death Thursday, along with the fall of Sirte, the last regime stronghold, paved the way for that milestone.
On the day of Qaddafi's capture, a convoy carrying loyalists, including the former Libyan leader and Dao riding together in an olive green Toyota Landcruiser, had sped out of Sirte to try to escape. But the convoy was hit by a NATO airstrike. Qaddafi and Dao were wounded and captured, and Qaddafi died in unclear circumstances later that day.
Libya's interim government agreed under mounting international pressure to open an investigation.
Libyan leader orders probe into Qaddafi's death
Libyan officials claim Qaddafi was killed in crossfire between revolutionary fighters and loyalists. However, video footage has emerged showing Qaddafi being beaten, taunted and abused by his captors. Peter Bouckaert of Human Rights Watch said Monday that there are strong indications that Qaddafi and Muatassim were killed in custody. He said a Libyan woman in the convoy told the rights group that Qaddafi was only lightly hurt in the NATO strike.
Dao said he fell unconscious from his injuries before Qaddafi's capture and does not know what happened to his boss.
The bodies of Qaddafi, Muatassim and Abu Bakr Younis, Qaddafi's defense minister, were put on public display in a commercial produce freezer in the port city of Misrata for four days, before being buried at dawn Tuesday in unmarked graves. A Misrata official said they were given an Islamic burial, with some relatives in attendance.
Qaddafi buried in secret location, officials say
Dao said Qaddafi fled his residential compound in Tripoli around Aug. 18 or 19, just before revolutionary forces swept into the city. After the capital's fall, Dao said Qaddafi headed directly to Sirte, accompanied by Muatassim. Qaddafi's former heir apparent, Seif al-Islam, sought refuge in Bani Walid, another loyalist stronghold, Dao said.
Dao joined Qaddafi in Sirte a week later, while Libya's former intelligence chief, Abdullah al-Senoussi, shuttled between Sirte and the southern city of Sabha, the third remaining pro-Qaddafi bastion at the time. Al-Senoussi and Seif al-Islam, wanted by the International Criminal Court on war crimes charges, remain at large.
Qaddafi's aides repeatedly urged him to step aside and leave the country, but he refused, saying he wanted to die in the land of his ancestors, according to Dao.
"I feel sorry for him because he underestimated the situation," Dao said. "He could have left and gotten out of the country and lived a happy life."
Dao had worked for Qaddafi since 1980, including as chief of his personal security in the 1990s. Later, Dao assumed command of the so-called Peoples' Guards, whose main aim was to go after Qaddafi's opponents.
In Sirte, Qaddafi and his entourage switched hideouts about every four days, as the city was pounded by NATO airstrikes and revolutionary forces advanced. The group stayed within the confines of the so-called No. 2 neighborhood, seeking shelter in homes residents had abandoned as they fled the fighting.
"We were scared of the airstrikes and shelling," Dao said, adding that he did not believe Qaddafi was afraid.
He said food was scarce in Sirte in the final days. Dao has previously said that audio messages Qaddafi sent from hiding were transmitted by Thuraya satellite phone.
In Sirte, loyalist fighters were led by Muatassim, who initially commanded about 350 men, Dao said. Many fled and toward the end, the fighting force diminished to about 150, said Dao, dressed in navy blue pajamas.
Qaddafi, who once ruled a country of 6 million with an iron fist, railed against the loss of power. "He was stressed, he was really angry, he was mad sometimes," Dao said. "Mostly, he was just sad and angry."
"He believed the Libyan people still loved him, even after we told him that Tripoli had been occupied."

There's traveler's wisdom in a simple concept: Don't overplan.
We took our first longer-than-a-weekend, not-to-see-family, multi-destination trip together in December 1997. (And to think, we'd been together three years by then.) We put aside nine days to visit Seattle and Victoria, B.C., and the trip was cold, fun, rainy and exciting.
But when I look back, just about my favorite part was an unexpected side trip to Washington's Olympic National Park.

I'm trying to set up a JFrame shopping cart example for my class. I've added radio buttons to a button group "colorButtonGroup" to denote one of three colors (blue, red, yellow), and I'm not sure as to how to add the button group to my main panel. What am I missing? How do I add the button group to my main panel?
I'm new to programming, and was hoping this would be an easy problem to resolve. I originally placed the individual radio buttons directly onto the main panel but was having trouble with the actionListener.

Council Conversations
Get to know members of the Young Women's Leadership Council in this regular feature. In this issue, Council members and February News Editors, Myra Duran and Lani Blechman get personal and deep - and maybe even share a little advice.
Power of the People
by Myra Duran, PEP Young Women's Leadership Council
Power of the People No Cuts, No Fees, Education should be FREE! and Si Se Puede! were some of the anthems that penetrated the air during the UC Walkout protests that took place on November 18th and 19th 2009 at the UCLA campus.

This feature is back! As immigration reform looms on the political horizon, Council is getting a head start on raising up why and how an immigration reform needs to happen now! We hope our visions and experiences will inspire you to raise your voice too
Reproductive INjustice: Immigration, Birthing, and the Prison System
by Mia Giardina, PEP Young Women's Leadership Council
As immigration becomes increasingly criminalized in the United States and undocumented immigrant women face greater threats of incarceration and state violence, undocumented mothers lose control over their births and bodies.
Imagining Reproductive Justice
Reproductive justice is not just about words on a piece of paper. It's about imagining and creating. Council is excited to introduce this new feature where we will explore the creative side of Reproductive Justice. In this issue, Adrian Catão (a friend of PEP), offers an illustrated commentary on Guatemala's recent declaration that 12 years of adoption were actually abductions.
Notes from a Departing Council Member

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 29 (UPI) -- Daniel Sedin scored Vancouver's go-ahead goal with 8:28 to go in the third period Thursday, propelling the Canucks to a 4-1 win over Colorado.
Vancouver won its sixth straight game, a streak that has vaulted the Canucks into third place in the Western Conference standings.
Cory Schneider took a shutout into the third period and made 30 saves to get the victory. Schneider has been in goal for all six victories in Vancouver's current streak.
Alex Burrows gave Vancouver the lead 4:27 into the contest and that was all the scoring until Matt Duchene provided Colorado's only goal early in the third.
The Canucks then took over, getting the tiebreaking score from Sedin and empty-net goals from both Henrik Sedin and Chris Higgins in the final 1:30.
Colorado, sitting in last place in the Western Conference, lost its fourth in a row. Semyon Varlamov allowed two goals on 18 shots for the Avalanche.

Tower Perennial Gardens offers a range of Garden Design and Landscape Services. We design gardens using the fantastic array of plants available at Tower, and when needed, obtain special orders to fulfil the design. Our service can be as simple as a Garden Rescue or a more comprehensive design consultation/installation. We create designs and deliver plants, but the labor for preparation and planting may be done by the homeowner or by the Tower staff. We offer a complete service, though you can save money by choosing to do the work yourself. Let us be your Garden Coach!
Landscaping is a big decision, so of course there is a contract to protect you as well as us. We have 2 simple agreements, one for Garden Rescue for small projects and a Garden Design contract for larger ones. We always charge you according to whichever is less expensive. The cost is low either way…we don't need thousands of dollars for a design like traditional landscape designers.
A deposit is collected at the first meeting to get the process going for the new garden. Small projects under the Garden Rescue contract do not require deposits, but are billed hourly. We are not able to do free garden design; it is a short season and we are much in demand. However, we are very inexpensive as well as high in value. Alan will set you up with the least expensive option to get your goals accomplished. If you want to know more after reading the contracts, just call Alan and talk it over. We can almost always find a way to be helpful. Gardens are our passion.

Dec 27, 2014Just before going on a Carnival Cruise for Christmas, my son in law gave me this book, Permanent Passenger. Oh, how I enjoyed reading it and learning much about how to get hired by Carnival. I powered forward to each page to find out more about the "everyday life" on board for the crew. I knew more about what was going on then most of the other passengers and felt I had an "heads up" on everyone else. I looked at the DJ and the Cruise Director different as well as the cruise itself. So so so so happy I read this book before going......Anyone going on a cruise should read it BEFORE they leave....I was able to speak to most of the crew (( on board )) cause I knew what to ask about what Carnival allows and does not allow. Lots of information on the games and how to win and yes our family won 3 different games, the food and what the crew ate and did not eat and where, how long they lived on a ship ( who shared with who ) and who got to see all the naked women and... More > why......WOW.... Changed the way I looked at any cruise line so a must read for anyone sailing......yay< Less
May 26, 2012As an ex-crew member myself, I thoroughly enjoyed Micha's book. Brought me back to some of the good times and some of the difficult times that we had onboard. No one ever believes the stories we tell, with some daring to say we fabricate the information; however, there is no way to make up some of this stuff. When boarding a ship, something strange happens, you just become someone else. You do things you would not dare do at home. You experience something that you had never experienced before and you take home memories of all sorts that leave you in awe. Sharing those times as Micha has done, shines a light on a life that will always be a mystery, and, we have resources that are unlimited. Enjoy the read, it is good fun. Joyce Gleeson-Adamidis Editor - www.offradarcruisenews.com Author: If I Were Not Upon The Sea
Sep 27, 2011I purchased this book because I was curious about life aboard a cruise ship. While Micha's job had benefits not available to most of the crew, his story was very interesting, nonetheless, and offered glimpses of the lives of the rest of the crew. I enjoyed the book and will pass it along to my cruise loving brother.

New Report: DC Voucher Program Still a Success
The latest and final scheduled report on the DC voucher program is out.
Even a tiny, restricted program that's only been around for six years increases graduation rates, has a positive impact on at least some groups of students, harms no groups of students, and does this for less than a third of what the DC Public Schools spend.
DCPS spends around $28,000 per student. The last report pegged the average voucher at just $6,620. The maximum voucher cost is just $7,500.
Huge sums of money saved, student performance increased, parents happier … why is this program being killed?
Oh, right.

The cougar, also known as puma or mountain lion, is a large cat native to the Americas. Despite its size, it is not typically classified among the "big cats", as it cannot roar. I hope you'll find this tutorial useful!

Graciela invited me to her home in El Salto, a city on one of Mexico's most polluted rivers, the Rio Santiago. She wanted to share the story of her community's struggle for environmental justice.
"Every family here has at least one person with a serious illness or a loved one who passed away before their time," Graciela told me. "The people are suffering. Their health and livelihoods are suffering. And industry is earning billions of pesos. It's just not right." I saw anger and sorrow wash over her eyes as she spoke about their plight.
This community knows people can drown in toxic pollution, but they can also drown in despair. To their great credit, Graciela with her husband Enrique and daughter Sofia have chosen to resist that darkness.
"Un Salto de Vida", or "Life-Falls" in English, is how the Enciso family named their community organization when they began to protest against industrial pollution in the Rio Santiago in 2006. "Because we live close to the falls and we fight for life," says Sofia, who is now heading the fight in her community. Hundreds of factories supplying goods to international brands discharge wastewater into the Santiago. The government has found dozens of hazardous chemicals in the river, but nobody can tell how many toxic chemicals are in there, nor exactly how high the levels of pollutants are.
What's more - due to lax regulations and enforcement - locals don't know which outflow pipes belong to which factory, what they are discharging, and which brands they are working for. But government files, forced into the public domain by Greenpeace Mexico, reveal that officials are aware of illnesses in the area linked to chemical pollution.
Despite all this, Graciela has never lost faith in their mission, and wishes that her granddaughter will one day be able to experience the river like she did as a child – as the most wonderful place on earth.
For this wish to come true, much work lies ahead.
Right now, big brands such as Levi's are working with suppliers in Mexico that Greenpeace investigations have revealed are contributing to the toxic pollution in Rio Santiago and other rivers in Mexico, and elsewhere around the world.
Levi's have the power and influence to dramatically improve the amount of information locals have about what is being released into their rivers, and to work with their suppliers to eliminate these hazardous chemicals across their entire global supply chain.
Join Graciela, Enrique, Sofia and many others in demanding an end to industrial pollution by joining the campaign calling on Levi's to work with their suppliers to make fashion without pollution.
Pierre Terras is Toxic Campaign Coordinator at Greenpeace Mexico.

I hope she will succed in her mission.

Dear Gracila and Sofia, A very X mas to you and your family. Our best wishes to your and we are proud of your determination. Hopefully one day your children be able to experience the river like you had seen it in the most pristine, and the most wonderful place on earth.
