Sita and baby aged 2 days (Jason Knight)
Calf finds its feet!
After a shaky start, Sita the rare black rhino and her calf are getting on famously at Paignton Zoo.
After a 15-month pregnancy - and in the full glare of the watching world - Sita the Paignton Zoo black rhino has given birth to a calf.
Sita started going into labour at around 7.40pm GMT on Monday 5 March, and the baby emerged around half an hour later.
The amazing scenes were watched by thousands of people all over the world, using the webcam on the BBC Devon website.
Listen to Sita's Song, a composition specially written by Hugh Nankivell and dedicated to Sita and her calf:

Rhino-watchers have been keeping watch on Sita day and night for weeks.
Sita paced around her den restlessly in the hours leading up to the birth, giving an indication the big moment was imminent.
The calf soon after it was born
Sure enough, at 8.10pm, the calf appeared. After a shaky start the baby girl is doing well. And it's a very special little girl because 75 per cent of black rhinos born in captivity are male.
It took her over five hours to find her feet and a further hour to take her first feed from her mum.
At around 1am on Tuesday keepers at Paignton Zoo had to coax Sita to a safe area away from her calf so they could get into the enclosure to take a closer look.
After checking the calf was healthy they were able to move her to a newly laid bed of straw.

Neil Bemment, head of mammals at Paignton Zoo, said: "We're really pleased we've had a successful birth.
"Everything seems to have gone smoothly. Sita was a little bewildered by the new arrival.
"The calf wasn't in any hurry to get up, and in the end we had to go into the enclosure and give it a helping hand.
"As soon as the calf got to its feet Sita started showing more interest." At birth the calf will have weighed around 40 kilos (80 pounds).
Head rhino keeper, Jason Knight, said it was a long and anxious wait before the young rhino took its first steps.
"We were hoping to see it get up in the first few hours because the calf needs to get to mum to feed.
First contact between mother and baby
"Sita had crashed out and was exhausted, but it all came good in the end.
"At the moment everything is fine, we are looking at this gorgeous creature."
Mr Bemment added: "Sita was exhausted after her labours and we were relieved when she allowed the calf to suckle for the first time.
"The enclosure has a heated floor so the calf is very snug.
"We have waited for this moment for so many years – and now Sita looks like she is going to be a model mum!"
Black rhinos are among the most endangered species in the world and are listed as critically endangered. The population dropped by more than 90% between 1970 and the mid 1990s when it reached a low of around 2,400.
There are now thought to be no more than 3,100 scattered through east and southern Africa. Paignton Zoo, a registered charity, is one of only four zoos in the UK with black rhinos and supports practical rhino conservation work in Zimbabwe and Malawi.
Zoo spokesperson Phil Knowling said: "Sita has become an internet star. I think it has helped to raise awareness for rhino conservation and increased people's understanding of how zoos work to breed rare species.
"I'd like to thank everyone who has been following Sita's progress and who has sent messages of good will and support. It has been a long wait but it has been worth it!"

First things first, all data is more or less structured. That being said, there is…
- Structured Data
- Semi-Structured Data
- Unstructured Data
I tend to think of it as: data, composite or simple, with or without content. In that context, email is structured composite data (from, to, subject, date) with unstructured content (message body). The composite data is structured. The content is unstructured. Though simple data may or may not be structured. The 'subject' data is unstructured. The 'to' data is structured. It is composed of a local-part (username) and a domain.
While content is unstructured, there may be an implied structure.
So what is the difference between structured data, semi-structured data, and unstructured data?
Structured Data
The structure is externally enforced. Data
- The data is stored in a database.
- Relational
- Transaction
- Catalog
- Relational
The data itself is not structured. The structure is defined by the database. The data would be semi-structured if it was exported and transformed into JSON or XML.
Semi-Structured Data
The structure is self defined. Data and / or Content
- The data is stored as text.
- User Profile
- Application / Form
Unstructured Data
The structure of the data is externally defined. Metadata and Content
- The data is stored in a binary format and / or document.
- Media (e.g. Ogg).
- Video (e.g. Vorbis).
- Audio (e.g. Theora).
- Image (e.g. PNG).
- Microsoft Word
- Adobe PDF
The structure is defined by the file format. The data is composed of structured metadata and unstructured content. That being said, a video is composed of frames and an image is composed of pixels.
- The data is stored as plain text.
- Log
The structure is defined by a pattern in the logging configuration file. The data is composed of structured metadata (e.g. severity) and unstructured content (log message).
- The data is user generated.
- Status (Facebook)
- Tweet (Twitter)
- Comment (WordPress)
The structure is defined by the application / form. The data is composed of structured metadata (e.g. user ID) and unstructured content (user message).
I would say that the structure of content is user defined and thus interpreted. However, content is often a component of data (unstructured, externally defined). Though if I typed up this post in gedit and saved it as a text file, that might constitute content independent of data.
With all all that said, the structure of data is not exactly black and white.

5 Eyesight Myths Dispelled
Everyone knows that eating carrots is good for your eyes. Right? Well, kind of. But not as good as kale. Check out a few more of the common misunderstandings about how our eyes work.
Myth: Doing eye exercises will keep you from needing glasses.
Fact: Eye exercises do not enhance or preserve vision or diminish the need for glasses. Your vision relies on the shape of your eyes, the health of your eye tissues, and many other factors, none of which can be appreciably altered with eye exercises.
Myth: Reading in dim light will worsen your vision.
Fact: Dim lighting can make your eyes feel fatigued more quickly, but it will not harm your eyesight. Focus your reading light directly on the page you are reading, not over your shoulder. A light that shines from over your shoulder can create glare, making it more difficult to see.
Myth: Eating carrots improves your eyesight.
Fact: Carrots do contain vitamin A, which is good for the eyes. But dark green leafy vegetables and fresh fruit are even better. They contain more antioxidant vitamins such as C and E, which can protect the eyes from cataracts and age-related macular degeneration. However, eating vegetables and/or taking supplements will not prevent or repair vision problems such as nearsightedness or farsightedness.
Myth: You shouldn't wear glasses all the time. Taking a break from glasses or contact lenses allows your eyes to rest.
Fact: If you are prescribed glasses for distance or reading, use them. Trying to read without reading glasses will simply strain your eyes and tire them out. Using glasses won't weaken your vision or lead to eye disease.
Myth: Staring at a computer screen all day is harmful to the eyes.
Fact: Spending the day staring at a screen can tire or strain your eyes, but it will not hurt them. Make sure lighting doesn't create a glare on your screen. When spending long periods at your keyboard, take a break now and then to rest your eyes to reduce fatigue. Also, don't forget to blink. Your eyes need to stay lubricated to feel comfortable.

And about to get a whole lot healthier.

Why do some people wear glasses all the time? I'm nearsighted and i don't wear them all the time.
Reader's Digest. Still back in the Stone Age…
Wow. So many lies in this article.
One should definitely avoid stressing the eyes out. Carrots (or dark green veggies) can't magically cure the strain you could be putting your eyes through. Give it some time off; like any other part of the body, it needs rest for peak performance.
Eye exercising means finding a way to relax your eyes. This is very useful for those who work in front of computers or who are exposed to TV monitors for more than an hour. If you stare at computer for more than an hour, there's a tendency for your eyes to get tired. It is important that you take some minutes of rest to relax your eyes.
Wow, all this time I thought eating carrots would improve the vision. Just like any other parts of the body, ours shouldn't be over-used, although there are certain cases where the disease develops because of genes. Always consult the eye doctor if you experience severe blurry vision which causes you to feel dizzy.
They do improve vision. The way the statement is worded makes it sound like carrots and only carrots are the super vision food. All vegetables contain vitamins that will help you keep healthy eyes, and healthy eyes usually means good eyesight. Like it says in the article, dark green and leafy vegetables usually contain more vitamins and would be better for you than carrots.
The carotenes in carrots and other vegetables will do no good unless one is getting enough zinc to help convert them into both retinol, and then retinal, for use in the eyes. And those with thyroid problems cannot make that conversion so need to take retinol and zinc. Among other nutrients…
And the article is wrong when it says staring at a computer screen all day won't hurt your eyes. Of course it will, if the eye strain goes on for long enough.

NEW YORK (AP) — Hugh Jackman has kicked off the Tony Awards with a bounce, hopping up and down like a kangaroo during his opening number. Big, high-kicking musical numbers from "After Midnight" and "Aladdin" kept the energy level up during the show's first hour.
The bearded Australian, back as host Sunday after a nine-year absence, greeted many of the night's featured performers as he cheerfully bounded past them backstage. He then joined the cast of the musical "After Midnight" for a rousing rendition of "It Don't Mean a Thing (If it Ain't Got that Swing)."
The first award of the night was for best featured actor in a play and it went to Mark Rylance, who won his third Tony for playing the countess Olivia in "Twelfth Night." Rylance, who previously won for "Jerusalem" and "Boeing-Boeing," is also nominated for best lead actor honors for his evil title character in "Richard III."
The best featured actress in a musical Tony went to Lena Hall in "Hedwig and the Angry Inch," playing a woman who dresses as a man and plays Neil Patrick Harris' boyfriend. Hall wished her dad a happy birthday and gave a shout-out to her soon-to-be-born niece. "Friendship is magic," she said.
Darko Tresnjak won for directing the musical "A Gentleman's Guide to Love & Murder" and thanked his mother, a skydiver during World War II now too frail to be there. Kenny Leon won his first Tony for directing the revival of "A Raisin in the Sun." He thanked, among other, his star Denzel Washington, and the women in his life. He even managed to plug his next work, "Holler If Ya Hear Me."
Jackman has lost none of his style, affability and humor in the nine years since he last hosted. He will be singing several songs — including all the parts from the first song in "The Music Man" — and will tease the nominees goodheartedly.
Stars helping present awards included Bradley Cooper, Kevin Bacon, Clint Eastwood, Leighton Meester, Kenneth Branagh, Kate Mara, Emmy Rossum, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Zachary Quinto. Overall viewership may be tested by Game 2 of the NBA Finals.
Some 870 Tony voters — members of professional groups such as the Wing, the League, Actors' Equity Association, the Dramatists Guild and the Stage Directors and Choreographers Society — decided the final 26 competitive awards. Only Broadway shows that opened in the 12 months ending April 24 are eligible.
A music-heavy lineup has been promised that includes all the best new musical nominees — "Aladdin," ''After Midnight," ''Beautiful: The Carole King Musical" and "A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder" — and some overlooked ones, including "Rocky," ''Bullets Over Broadway," and Idina Menzel's show "If/Then."
"After Midnight," a musical celebrating Duke Ellington's years at the Cotton Club nightclub, was the first to be featured with Patti LaBelle, Gladys Knight and Fantasia singing "On Sunny Side of the Street" and then the group number.
Three revivals — "Les Miserables," ''Violet" and "Cabaret" — will also be featured. "Wicked," which is celebrating a decade on Broadway, will have its current Glinda and Elphaba sing "For Good," and there will be songs from two shows that have yet to arrive: Sting will perform from his musical "The Last Ship" and Jennifer Hudson sings from "Finding Neverland," the musical about Peter Pan.
For best play candidates, the playwrights of "Act One," ''All The Way," ''Casa Valentina," ''Mothers and Sons" and "Outside Mullingar" will each take turns introducing video snippets of their works.
This year, Broadway producers have a reason to party. The season's box offices hit a record total gross of $1.27 billion — up from $1.13 billion the previous season — and attendance was up 5.6 percent to 12.2 million.

a little Swedish
Conversational opportunities
There I was 2 years ago in Stockholm, clowning on the edge of lake Mälaren posing as a statue at the Stadshuset. I miss that city and plan a return, so I'm looking for an opportunity to revive my fading Swedish comprehension.
It's a fairly decent way to learn Swedish in preparation for a trip to Sweden, if you are heading there.

Due to the proliferation of harmonic producing-loads, harmonic resonance has become a major hurdle for performing power factor compensation in commercial power systems, such as office towers and shopping complexes. This paper presents an intelligent power factor compensation controller that can perform power factor correction without exciting harmonic resonance under varying demand conditions. Practical and robust control algorithms are proposed for the purpose of easy implementation in a micro-controller. In addition, the controller relies on common low cost sensing devices and does not require additional measurements. As a result, the proposed controller can be constructed as a retrofitting device to replace existing power factor correction controllers with little effort. Analysis of representative case studies is conducted to illustrate how the proposed controller performs.

Russia and China send a message: History's backBreaking News
Writing in The Financial Times last week, Chrystia Freeland recalled Francis Fukuyama's 1989 essay"The End of History?" - which trumpeted the definitive triumph of liberal democracy. The great nightmare tyrannies of last century - the Evil Empire, Red China - had been left behind by those inseparable twins, freedom and prosperity. Civilization had chosen, and it chose us.
So much for that thesis. Surveying the Russian military rout of neighboring Georgia and the spectacle of China's Olympics, Freeland, editor of The Financial Times's American edition and a journalist who started her career covering Russia and Ukraine, proclaimed that a new"Age of Authoritarianism" was upon us.
If it is not yet an age, it is at least a season: Springtime for autocrats, and not just the minor-league monsters of Zimbabwe and the like but the giant regimes that seemed so surely bound for the ash heap in 1989.

Nice plugin, I use it for all of my sites.
Hello everyone and plugin author, this is one of the greatest plugins I've ever used for setting up custom thumbnails without using the default Featured Image feature. With some tips and hints from https://github.com/ I have been able to do what I wanted to do with this plugin, thanks a bunch, I really appreciate this. Keep up the awesome work! Regards.
Cool! I've custom coded this numerous times. Good to know I can just grab this plugin in future instead :)
My all time favorite Plugin, recommended to all those who like easiness and flexibality.
i have a small problem, how can i centeralized the gallery on home page?
i am showing the slider at home page only, but it is left aligh by default.
I use "get the image" in all my sites. Makes grabbing images so much easier. For instance, no need to explain to a customer that they need to set a featured image if they want a thumbnail in their list of latest posts.
I also use it to display thumbs in the backend. Wooslider for instance displays no thumbs of your slides in the admin area if you don't set a featured image yourself for each slide. Which would be double work and thus needs to be avoided. With the "get the image" plugin and a little tweaking of the Slider plugin this is easily solved.
The best thing about any plugin by Justin Tadlock is that they come with the option to get support for it. Support is paid, it costs $29 per year which gives you access to the ThemeHybrid forums. Ask any question that is related to the plugin or to the Theme Hybid themes and it gets answered quickly, each and every time. If you make WordPress sites for a living this is easily the best money you can spend on support.
When you're developing or modifying a theme it's difficult to extract the right image and modify it on the fly. This plugin makes the job a bliss: several configuration options make it super easy to get the right image at the right size when you need it.
Thanks, Justin!
This plugin has been a long time favorite in the WordPress.com VIP Shared Plugins repo. Thanks for the time and effort you've invested into making such a useful plugin.
Thanks for this plugin. My site depends on it.
This should be included in the wordpress core - a sensible and efficient way to use featured images

Retirement — The term will take on new meaning in coming decades as more and more people "bridge the gap" (work two or three days a week) between working full-time and moving into full retirement. Millions of retirement-age baby boomers will prefer (or need) to keep one foot in the workplace for a long time to come.
Social Security — Steps taken sooner rather than later to slow down the future growth rate of spending are required. It would be great if politicians would stop calling it spending cuts … and scaring people!
Taxes — Boosting capital gains, dividend, and income tax rates on the top 3% of income earners remains the President's goal, IF he survives the 2012 election. Like it or not, these are primarily the people who create jobs and invest. The Administration's focus on "income redistribution" rather than on providing "incentives for U.S. economic growth" remains troubling.
Unemployment — Likely to remain above 8.2% during the next 12-18 months, after averaging 9.0% during the past three years. Hundreds of thousands of people who previously left the labor force after becoming discouraged could return to the labor force, keeping the rate high.
Visitors (foreign) — Tens of thousands of additional foreign residents would visit the U.S. (and spend money aggressively) if we didn't make it so hard for them to come.
Wall Street — Simply stated … I remain a long-term bull on stocks.
Xmas — Retail spending is expected to rise 3.0%-5.0% versus last year. As before, aggressive discounting will drive consumer traffic.
Youth — My parents "came of age" with Pearl Harbor … my peers with Kennedy's assassination and Vietnam. For millions of Generations X and Y, September 11 and the "Great Recession" will be forever etched into their consciousness.
JaZZ (Utah) — We used to think of them as one of the NBA's elite teams. Now they are rebuilding. Can they be any good? Like the little train … We think we can … we think we can … we think we can.

Press Pans Roth's Radio Bow
By Chuck Taylor
Jan 3. debut viewed as rocky start.
David Lee Roth's first broadcast on Jan. 3 as CBS Radio's East Coast successor to Howard Stern was blasted by numerous newspapers, who went so far as to predict his demise before mid-year.
Roth's new morning show is airing in New York, Boston and Philadelphia, among others.
"Something was missing: humor," wrote the New York Post's John Mainelli. "Missing was a sense of adventure, irreverence, topicality and wacky anarchy." He criticized Roth for riffing at length on such "gloomy" topics as the World Trade Center site, radio censorship and his career as a paramedic.
David Hinckley of the New York Daily News was less biting, though he said that Roth's bow "didn't immediately find its rhythm," adding that he "proved that, if necessary, he can talk for four hours. We never doubted that, of course, and as skills go, it's not a bad start toward becoming a successful radio host."
The Boston Herald offered, "The most shocking thing about Roth's debut was how the former Van Halen frontman chose to neither shock nor awe his new listeners." Writer Sean McCarthy called the show "slow out of the gate."
AM New York, a free commuter newspaper, plastered Roth on its cover Jan. 4, with the stinker headline, "No sparkle yet for Diamond Dave: Replacing Stern, Roth fizzles in radio debut."
Writer Michael Clancy led his piece with, "If Diamond Dave's first show is any hint, start the death watch for David Lee Roth's dalliance in morning talk radio.
"The former Van Halen frontman may not even make it to the summer unless he learns his way around a radio microphone, and fast," Clancy said. "The show's content and execution was so amateurish that it sounded more like a demo tape than a polished piece of morning drive-time radio." He also complained that Roth was "surrounded by an annoying cast of chuckling Morning Zoo-type characters."
All three newspapers criticized the ramblings of Roth's Uncle Manny, proprietor of legendary nightclub Cafe Wha? in the city's West Village. The 90-minute gabfest was plagued by the 88-year-old's frequent stumbling and occasional forgetfulness.
The popular New York Radio Message Board was splattered with a free-for-all of criticism, calling Roth "lame" and deeming the show "amateur hour."
The New York Post allowed that such harsh criticism one day into the new high-profile gig may need tempering, quoting media buyer Jerry Levy: "It didn't go as smoothly as anticipated from the buildup, but you're dealing with a guy who's never done radio before. Stern is a tough — if not impossible — act to follow. You have to give it a little time to see how it shakes out."

Why There Are So Few Black Or Female Entrepreneurs In Silicon Valley | Keen On...Vivek Wadhwa
- published: 03 Apr 2012
- views: 2579
Sexism and racism in Silicon Valley. It\'s a debate that doesn\'t seem to want to die. On one side are those who believe that Silicon Valley is a genuine meritocracy; on the other, are those who are deeply troubled by the self-evident lack of female and/or black start-up entrepreneurs. And one of the most vocal members of the latter group is the multi-affiliated academic, Vivek Wadhwa, who isn\'t shy to take on what he calls the \"white boy\'s club\" in Silicon Valley. Keen On... is a video series on TechCrunch TV where Andrew Keen interviews leading opinion makers from the worlds of technology, media, and policy.

I love the look and feel of this widget but it breaks all the time on my site. I almost always see an error message reading "An error has occurred with the ICIT Weather Widget, if the issue persists through refreshing please contact the site administrator." Developer states this has not been reported before so perhaps it's an issue with my install but I can't continue using it anymore either way. I'd love to give it another shot if that gets resolved.
This use to be a really decent plugin with easy setup and easy customization of css for the style of the widget from site to site.
Unfortunately it is only a portal to the Google Weather API which shut down in October 2012 rendering the plugin useless.
Although if the developer was able to convert it to another API. This plugin could regain it's 5 star rating I once gave it.

SBIR Phase I: Development of Design and Operational Criteria of Continuous Culture Hatchery Techniques for the Production of Brachionus rotundiformis (s-type) rotifers

Research Institution:
AbstractThis Small Business Technology Transfer Phase I research will deveop and commercialize a robust, continuous culture production system for rotifers (Brachionus rotundiformis; s-type). The inability to supply microalgal, zooplankton and rotifers feeds cost-effectively and consistently continues to be a major technological bottleneck in the expansion of the marine aquaculture industry in the United States. This project will focus on the development of the fundamental engineering infrastructure required for a large-scale turnkey continuous culture rotifer production system, and subsequent marketing/sales to the marine aquaculture industry. This research has the potential to jump-start the marine aquaculture industry by eliminating one of the key limiting factors to increasing the production of many marine species, i.e. the unavailability and the high cost of fry and fingerlings. The broader impacts of this research are simplification and cost reduction for the production of marine fry and fingerling, which will lead to rapid expansion of marine hatcheries and hence a dramatic increase in the availability of lower cost marine fry and fingerlings for aquaculture grow-out in ponds, ocean cages and/or indoor recirculating systems. Aquaculture production of popular marine finfish will relieve the pressure on severely threatened or overfished commercial fish stocks. Furthermore, aquacultural production will allow culture under highly controlled, biosecure conditions with limited exposure to potentially harmful elements and using commercially formulated diets maintain optimal nutritional content. With the U.S. seafood trade deficit at close to $9 billion dollars, there is a significant potential for expansion of marine aquaculture production in the United States.

LOCATION: 962 Madison Ave., Upper East Side, Manhattan.
The police say the robber who killed 71-year-old jewelry store clerk Henry Menahem Wednesday dumped a Fabrege-style egg in the trash as he fled with $1 million in gems and expensive necklaces. Menahem, of Long Branch, N.J., was shot in the chest. He was declared dead at Lenox Hill Hospital.
The jeweled egg was found in a trash bag on the northwest corner of East 73rd Street and Lexington Avenue.
Menahem's funeral was set for today in Ocean, N.J.

The suspect, a light-skinnned African-American man, is about 5-10 and 160 pounds. He was wearing a blue wool coat, grey slacks, black dress shoes, a scarf, sunglasses and black gloves.
The New York Post reported that the suspect entered R.S. Durant Jewelers at lunchtime, brandished a 9 mm pistol and threw two bags at Menahem and a second clerk. They refused to fill the bags.
"You think I'm kidding? This is real," the robber shouted, and then fired one bullet into Menahem's chest. He began filling the bag with jewels himself. The other clerk begged the robber to allow him to call an ambulance, but the robber refused.

The Orchard CEO Supports Free, On-Demand Services
During the Orchard's fourth-quarter earnings call on Thursday, CEO Brad Navin threw his company's support behind on-demand business models. The overall pie is growing because of these new services, he said.
"Early indicators are these new services have elevated the overall size of the digital market in the territories where they have gained traction. We will work to support these new models and work to have our client's content available to consumers."
Those comments were in contrast to statements made by Warner Music Group chairman/CEO Edgar Bronfman Jr. during Warner Music Group's earnings call on Feb. 9.
"Free streaming services are not a positive thing for the industry," Bronfman said, "and as far as Warner Music Group goes, will not be licensed."
Many people felt Bronfman's comments were pointed at Spotfiy, which coverts free to paying customers at a rate not liked by all executives. But Navin didn't leave any doubt that he supports Spotify when he actually name-dropped the company as an example of the new breed of companies the Orchard will support.
A difference between Bronfman's and Navin's comments was the terminology each used. Bronfman criticized "free streaming services," while Navin lauded "on demand, ad-supported retailers."
Regardless of the words used, the fact is both took time during a quarterly earnings call to publicly take sides on the debate over streaming business models. It would be hard to believe either statement was an accident.
