- Description
This 360` photo was taken at "last light" whilst hovering over Brisbane CBD in a helicopter. It was a stunning night with 5 knots variable breeze. This was taken with one of my Canon 5DII with 24-105mm at 24mm in portrait format - 12 Images total. Shuter speed was 1/15th second ISO 1000. The panorama was stitched manually using Photoshop CS5. It took 10 hours to stitch. We do aerial photography all over Australia, with some assignments world wide, but by far my favourite aerial photography is night work.
NB: Some parts of the image have a little motion blur that is reall only noticable at or near 100%. I have also applied some noise reduction which has stolen a little detail, but a more pleasant overall feel.

I recently rented a Nikon D3s to see if it would give me an advantage for shooting aerial panoramas at twilight. It does do better than other cameras, but I do not think warrants the extra cost unless you have a customer with sufficient budget to cover it. The D700 or 5D Mark II would be good enough without incurring the extra cost. Does the pilot try and keep the wind on the nose of the aircraft?
Hello, I just saw your helipano! superb. I tried the same image on my city (60.000n inhabitants) but it was at the same time and for the World Cup soccer ago years.2 two errors: the population watched television so few houses lit - shoot at 1 / 100 and 12000 ASA.Donc lot of grain and single-use Web-tourism Compliments your work is very nice I also put long enough to assemble ... I want to repeat the same image day with 10 views. It's better and I could easily scale up to 2 meters Cordialement Me recommend you try Autopano Pro is the reference since I am not used that software. Once purchased designers work continuously and are made of a day at regular hours here is the link www.autopano.net/fr/solutions-asse mblage-photo/autopano-pro.html --------------------- gigapan.org/gigapans/52418/my pano day gigapan.org/gigapans/52508/
I sat in the front for balance reasons, and just kept my legs out of the way as much as possible. The hardest thing about night photography from a helicopter is the perfect light is only around for a few minutes, but only about a minute before official "last light" which means you have to get out of there. All in all it was a very fun job, and very rewarding.
Do you sit in front to communicate better with the pilot? I prefer to sit in the back seat so that my leg is not next to the stick. They did not give you much time before sending you to a higher elevation.
Thanks for the compliment. I shot it from a R44 with the front door off at 1000ft. I only had about 1 minute to do the full rotation before air traffic control made us go up to 2500ft.
Very nice job. I like the tones and resolution. Did you shoot these by hand, a pole, or with a robot? Were you flying in a R44?

To measure your head size, wrap a tape measure horizontally around your forehead. Select the helmet that is the closest fit to that size. A helmet should fit snug ony our head. If it moves while wearing, it is too large. If it is painful to wear, it is too small.
Open the chin straps and slide the helmet onto your head starting at the forehead. A helmet should feel snug. If it slides on easily it is too big. It should feel tight to pull down. Make sure the inner padding fits snug all around. You should feel the padding pressing against your cheeks and head. The last check for a proper fit is to test if it moves while wearing, there should be no movement if you shake your head. Place your hands on the helmet and move it front to back and side-to-side. If there is a lot of movement, try a size down.

Swaziland Population: 1,403,362
|« Previous Country | Next Country »
|Autonomy for the Swazis of southern Africa was guaranteed by the British in the late 19th century; independence was granted in 1968. Student and labor unrest during the 1990s pressured King MSWATI III, Africa's last absolute monarch, to grudgingly allow political reform and greater democracy, although he has backslid on these promises in recent years. A constitution came into effect in 2006, but the legal status of political parties remains unclear. The African United Democratic Party tried unsuccessfully to register as an official political party in mid 2006. Talks over the constitution broke down between the government and progressive groups in 2007. Swaziland recently surpassed Botswana as the country with the world's highest known HIV/AIDS prevalence rate.

Surrounded by South Africa, except for a short border with Mozambique, Swaziland depends heavily on South Africa from which it receives more than 90% of its imports and to which it sends 60% of its exports. Swaziland's currency is pegged to the South African rand, effectively subsuming Swaziland's monetary policy to South Africa. The government is heavily dependent on customs duties from the Southern African Customs Union (SACU), and worker remittances from South Africa supplement domestically earned income. Subsistence agriculture employs approximately 70% of the population. The manufacturing sector has diversified since the mid-1980s. Sugar and wood pulp were major foreign exchange earners; however, the wood pulp producer closed in January 2010, and sugar is now the main export earner. Mining has declined in importance in recent years with only coal and quarry stone mines remaining active. Customs revenues plummeted due to the global economic crisis and a drop in South African imports. The resulting decline in revenue has pushed the country into a fiscal crisis. Swaziland is looking to other countries, including South Africa, for assistance, but continues to struggle to meet its monthly payroll and fund government programs. With an estimated 40% unemployment rate, Swaziland''s need to increase the number and size of small and medium enterprises and attract foreign direct investment is acute. Overgrazing, soil depletion, drought, and floods persist as problems for the future. More than one-fourth of the population needed emergency food aid in 2006-07 because of drought, and more than one-quarter of the adult population has been infected by HIV/AIDS.

Always read labels to make sure each recipe ingredient is gluten free. Products and ingredient sources can change.
Instead of fresh pineapple, use a 20-ounce can of pineapple chunks, drained. When melons aren't in season, use 2 medium bananas, sliced, and 2 medium unpeeled red apples, coarsely chopped.
To toast coconut, heat in ungreased heavy skillet over medium-low heat 6 to 14 minutes, stirring frequently until browning begins, then stirring constantly until golden brown.
To keep the salad cold longer, chill the serving bowl before you assemble the salad. Or place salad bowl in a dish filled with crushed ice.

In the freshman seminar "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Wisdom of Crowds," students are exploring how myths throughout history — from fairy tales to urban legends — both identify and deflect the concerns and fears of society. The seminar is being taught by novelist Susanna Moore, a lecturer in creative writing and the Lewis Center for the Arts. Above: Michael Perel (top), Kendall Bedford and Helen Gao join the discussion about Robert Louis Stevenson's macabre tale "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde."
Academic journeys begin with freshman seminars
Princeton's newest undergraduates are setting out on a path of inquiry and discovery this fall through the University's freshman seminar program.
Freshman seminars enable students to build strong relationships with faculty members and classmates in a close-knit intellectual setting. Many students cite the freshman seminar as one of the highlights of their time at Princeton.
A total of 500 freshmen are enrolled this semester in 39 seminars, each of which is held in one of the six residential colleges. The seminars are open to students from all of the residential colleges. Class discussions often continue in informal settings both on and off campus, through meals, guest lectures, field trips and other activities.
This is part of a series of features highlighting freshman seminars offerered at Princeton this semester. Other features:
Students examine the "vivid force" of myths in conversations that stem from readings including 19th-century novels of horror, modern fiction, short stories and film.

Probing the power of myth
Posted November 4, 2013; 12:00 p.m.
In their first semester on the Princeton University campus, 15 freshmen are delving into stories — from witchcraft and horror to alien abductions and urban legends — to explore how myths through history both identify and deflect the concerns and fears of society.
The freshmen are examining such topics in the freshman seminar "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Wisdom of Crowds," taught by novelist Susanna Moore, a lecturer in creative writing and the Lewis Center for the Arts.
Freshman seminars are limited to 15 students, allowing participants to build strong relationships with faculty members and classmates in a close-knit intellectual yet informal setting. This is the third year Susanna Moore (middle) has taught the seminar.
This is the third year Moore has taught the seminar. "I chose this topic because I suspected that the students would take delight in, and be excited by, the symbolism that often underlies myths, fairy tales, and even certain superstitions," she said. "My hope is that the students will begin to look at stories in a way that is not literal or prosaic, but fanciful and imaginative."
The title of the seminar rephrases that of Scottish writer Charles Mackay's 1841 work "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds," about the susceptibility of the masses to large-scale schemes and deceptions, from witch burnings to the prophecies of Nostradamus. Moore said she changed the word "madness" to "wisdom" in Mackay's title "because myths and superstitions can (sometimes, not always) reflect the wisdom of crowds as much as they reflect the ignorance or paranoia or fantasy of crowds."
Blair Wang (left), Aneesh Rai and Nathan Park debate the roots of Dr. Jekyll's obsessive fascination with evil — with ideas that range from hideous to humorous.
The syllabus includes a variety of literature, from Grimm's fairy tales and "Dracula" to works by contemporary writers such as Ray Bradbury, Don DeLillo and Shirley Jackson. Films also are on view, including "Dr. Strangelove," "Contagion" and "Alien." These tales — invariably terrifying, sometimes humorous — capture the vivid force that makes myths so effective in both conveying rational warnings and appeasing anxiety, according to Moore.
On a recent fall afternoon, the class engaged in a lively discussion about Robert Louis Stevenson's "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," the macabre tale published in 1886 about a character's split-personality struggle between good and evil.
Moore helped set the tone of informality as a bag of peanut butter cups made its way around the small classroom in Wilson College and the occasional rustle of wrappers punctuated the conversation.
"Free association can be very useful in interpreting the fears and warnings in these stories and myths," she told the students.
Continuing a previous discussion, Moore asked for a volunteer to define the Freudian id, ego and superego. Blair Wang jumped in. "The id is our primal desires; the superego is our value side, what we think we should do, what is morally superior; and the ego tries to balance the superego and the id to deal with real-life situations," he said.
Moore posed a question: "If Dr. Jekyll's superego has led him to create the monster Mr. Hyde, who is all id, what can Dr. Jekyll possibly have done that causes him to feel such guilt, at the same time that he battles his obsessive fascination with evil?"
The students lobbed ideas back and forth. Was Jekyll engaged in prostitution or drugs or another vice of Victorian England? Was he repressed by society's mores?
Moore, whose novels have earned her numerous awards including the Prize for First Fiction from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, shares stories from her childhood in Hawaii to encourage students to relate the subject matter of the seminar to their own lives. She tells the students: "Free association can be very useful in interpreting the fears and warnings in these stories and myths."
Moore, a native of Hawaii, started teaching at Princeton in 2007. Her earliest three novels make up a Hawaiian trilogy — the first book, "My Old Sweetheart" (1982) won the PEN Hemingway Citation and the Prize for First Fiction from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. In 1999, the academy recognized her with an Arts and Letters Award. Her novel "In the Cut" (1995) is about a murder in New York and was made into a feature film in 2003. Her memoir "Light Years: A Girlhood in Hawai'i" was published in 2003. Moore's novel "The Big Girls" (2008) takes place in a women's prison. "The Life of Objects, " published this year, explores the horror a German family faces during World War II. "Telling stories is what I do — the work of a novelist is as simple as that," Moore said.
When a student suggested the possibility that Dr. Jekyll didn't do anything wrong but rather just thought about it, Moore shared a childhood story. "I was brought up a Catholic, and I was taught that the very wish to commit a sin was itself a sin. I remember thinking as a girl, 'Well, I've already committed a sin just by thinking about it — I might as well do it.' A very convenient way to justify bad behavior." The students laughed, enjoying her candor.
Freshman Arieh Mimran said he appreciates Moore's warm personality. "Her openness encourages broad-minded and unprejudiced discussion," he said.
Mimran, who came to Princeton from Geneva, added: "As a first-year international student, I had not expected to have the privilege of finding myself in such a small, diversified and talented class that would enable such discussion."
David McFall, like Mimran, is enjoying the diversity of opinions. He observed that several students had read "Dr. Jekyll" before but had not considered the deeper aspects of the book. "I heard interpretations that I have never imagined or considered," said McFall. "Each topic we cover is both eye-opening and refreshing."
Students share some of these "eye-opening" topics in individual presentations each week. On this afternoon, three students spoke about live burial, vices in Victorian England and Jung's collective unconscious. Afterward, Moore turned to another student to confirm his topic for the next class: zombies.
The students then filed out for a break. One student, Lorena Grundy, and Moore stayed to share some of their thoughts about the seminar.
"Many of the students are studying mathematics or engineering or earth sciences or architecture — disciplines that rely on facts," Moore said. "I suspect that it comes as a relief to some of them to think fancifully and without proofs. It can't be proved that Jung is right about a collective unconscious, or that 'Snow White' is a parable of a girl preparing for womanhood, or that the urban myth of 'The Chihuahua in the Microwave' reflects our fear of new technology. Which means that speculation, the exercise of fantasy and even an intellectual playfulness are necessarily part of our discussions."
Grundy plans to major in chemical and biological engineering. "I chose Princeton because I wanted a well-rounded education, not just an engineering degree," she said. "I can't disagree about the way to solve a matrix or how a molecule resonates. It's cool to have a class where it is what you make of it as opposed to 'do you know this?' We're really good about not being afraid to disagree."
"And they're not afraid to disagree with me, which is really good," Moore said. "From the first day, they were very high-spirited, very opinionated, very animated."
As the students returned, the classroom turned into an impromptu movie theater screening the second half of "Alien," which they had started the previous week.
"The character of the alien isn't all that different from the monster Mr. Hyde created by Dr. Jekyll, is it?" Moore observed.

Tilghman trip to Asia ends on a high note
Posted March 17, 2008; 03:01 p.m.
President Shirley M. Tilghman completed her weeklong trip to Asia with a visit to Hong Kong Thursday through Sunday, March 13-16, that featured a conference with prominent alumni from the region who are influential in shaping commerce and finance around the world as well as a campaign kickoff event.
Tilghman visited Asia to learn more about the future of the region and increase awareness of the exceptional educational opportunities available at Princeton. She previously has traveled there as president of Princeton and as a member of a senior-level scientific delegation.
While in Hong Kong, she met with education leaders and government officials. She also brought together Princeton researchers and prominent alumni living there in support of goals to maintain close ties with the region and to explore issues related to the global economy.
Among those scheduled to participate in the Saturday conference were Hong Kong businessmen Andy Yan and William Fung, and also Sir Gordon Wu. Yan, a 1990 Princeton graduate alumnus, is head of Asia's leading venture capital fund, Soft Bank Asia Infrastructure Fund, and was an economist with the World Bank and a research fellow at the State Commission for Economic Restructuring of the State Council of China. Fung, a 1970 Princeton alumnus, heads the global manufacturing firm Li & Fung. Wu, a 1958 Princeton alumnus, has led his company, Hopewell Holdings, to become one of the largest civil construction companies in Asia, building roads, bridges, buildings and power plants.
Tilghman also hosted a kickoff event for alumni and friends for Aspire, Princeton's $1.75 billion fundraising campaign that was launched on campus in November. Entertainment was provided by the University's Jazz Composers Collective, directed by Anthony D.J. Branker.
Before arriving in Hong Kong, Tilghman traveled to Singapore and Shanghai, where she also met with education and government representatives.

Computer insurance is meant to protect your machine against malfunction, accidents, and (if you're lucky), theft. Whether it's in the form of a private insurance policy or a simple warranty, there are many choices to make when deciding whether or not you need to insure your laptop or desktop.
According to Consumer Reports, about one in three laptops and desktops break by their fourth year. Considering most manufacturer's warranties last about a year, that leaves you with about three years of time when your computer could either sail ahead, problem-free, or be bogged down by hardware issues requiring maintenance.
But should you buy an extended warranty? To try and answer that question, we spoke with Adam Senderson, manager at Computer Overhauls in New York City, who thinks that generally speaking, buyers should purchase a warranty right from the start. However, if you're buying a lower-end laptop, a warranty may not be worth it since you can just buy another $300 laptop a year or two from then. "If it's a computer that costs over $750, you should definitely be getting the warranty," Senderson said. "If it's less, it's more of a judgment call."
Navigating the land of warranties can be difficult. To help you find your way and make the right choice, we've taken a look at manufacturer warranties, extended warranties, private insurance, homeowner's insurance, and detailed what you need to look out for when choosing whether or not to buy insurance for your computer.
Manufacturer's Warranty
Most products come with at least a one-year manufacturer's warranty. If they don't, you're most likely getting a cheap laptop that will develop problems within the 90-day warranty offered at purchase. The manufacturer's warranty typically covers most minor malfunctions, hardware support for any defects in the laptop's material, tech support, mail-in repair service, and the option to return and replace a machine that you receive dead on arrival. Most basic warranty programs are good for replacing malfunctioning hardware, such as a hard drive or keyboard, but will not take responsibility for defects you caused or accidents that are unrelated to the manufacturer's design and craftsmanship.
You don't have to make a choice here; this kind of coverage should just come with the product.
Extended Warranty
According to Senderson, the most common repairs he sees are broken screens and liquid damage. In terms of software, "virus infection is quite substantial," he said.
Generally speaking, Senderson said most PC laptop screen replacements and labor cost can run between $200 and $300, depending on the computer. Did you spill your coffee on your laptop during when you sat down at your desk? Senderson said liquid damage can be fixed for about $150 to $250 – that is, if the motherboard doesn't need to be replaced."
When buying a new computer, you'll be offered the opportunity to buy an extended warranty. This happens 99.9 percent of the time, so be prepared. "You definitely want to find out what the warranty covers," Senderson said. "Some cover wear and tear, and some cover accidental damage, which is a huge difference." Before you go to the Apple Store, Best Buy, or Staples, do your research beforehand to see what these extended warranties cover and how much extra it'll tack onto your bill.
Best Buy: Distributors such as Best Buy and Staples offer their own versions of extended warranties. Best Buy's Geek Squad has two renewable options: tech support insurance lasting two years for $100; and Geek Squad Protection for two years for $180 (or $100 for one year). The latter includes tech support and accident coverage, as well as a one-time replacement for your battery and charger. Tech support covers virus removal, problems with your operating system, and labor that doesn't involve physical parts. To gauge whether these insurance options are worth the money, consider this: a virus removal alone without the Geek Squad's tech support insurance will cost $200.
Staples: Staples offers a renewable two-year Care Protection Plan based on your computer's retail price. The basic plan, which lacks accident coverage, takes care of backup, virus removal, and hardware failure. The full plan includes the repair or replacement of your computer (whichever is cheaper) in case of physical damage, such as a cracked screen or faulty keys. Coverage ranges from $90 to $170, depending on the price of your computer. Considering virus removal at Staples without insurance, will cost you $160, it may be worth the investment.
By the way, none of these insurance options will help in case of loss or theft.
Apple: The AppleCare protection plan will extend a one-year limited warranty and up to 90 days of telephone tech support to three years of full support. Since the least expensive laptop at Apple will cost you right around $1,000, the extra $250 is a small price to pay for hardware coverage and support.
Also of note, some major credit card companies will actually extend your device's warranty up to an additional year for free if you charge the purchase with their card.
Renters or homeowners insurance
If your limit is high enough, you may be able to insure your computer equipment under your personal property coverage. This insurance may cover the policyholder's equipment in case of certain damage or loss due to fire, flooding, and power surge. In this case, you should check whether your insurance will cover your computer even if it isn't at home when it is damaged or lost, because the insurance policy may compensate you only if your computer is stolen from your home and not at a coffee shop or an airport, for example. You will often need to explicitly ask to adjust your policy so that it covers loss and damage outside of your home as well, as the policy will probably not offer this option automatically.
Standalone insurance
If you don't have renters or homeowners insurance and aren't interested in either, many insurance companies offer standalone insurance on specific valuables. For a yearly fee, plus a deductible, you can get insurance on your laptop to protect against theft, and any accidental damage like drops and spills. Many policies also cover flood, fire, or power surge damage.
Things to look out for
According to the Federal Trade Commission, consumers shopping for warranties should always get them in writing – talking to a representative over the phone is definitely not enough. The FTC also recommends considering the warranty's length; make sure to understand what the warranty vows to cover, whether it commits to repairing your computer, replacing it, or giving you a refund, and what parts and repair problems the warranty applies toward. Also, be sure you know who to contact if service is needed, and whether it covers damages caused by the product itself to other products.
Needless to say, if you buy a warranty, always save your receipts in a place you'll remember, because the company offering it to you may ask for it before service or reimbursement.
So, is insurance worth the money?
You may not like this answer, but it's really your call on whether you buy the warranty or insurance. If you had to take out a loan to buy your new MacBook Pro, chances are you don't have the money for repairs. In that case, the three-year Apple Care protection plan would probably be worth it. If you bought a $400 laptop during a Black Friday sale, it's up to you, and depends on the cost. You may end up buying the warranty and never using it, but if you're the type of person who'll be afraid to bring your laptop out of the house in fear that it'll get damaged or stolen, then for your peace of mind, insurance may be worth it.
However, since most computer problems are due to malware or hard drive problems, you can try your best to prepare your computer for the worst by installing antivirus software and backing up all your files to a cloud service. Either way, it's a gamble.
Will you be splurging on computer insurance next time you make a big purchase, or will you risk it?

Princeton sociologist Douglas Massey, shown above in Mount Laurel, N.J., examined the impact of building this affordable-housing development in an upscale suburb of Philadelphia. The findings? The development had no negative impact on the surrounding area and brought significant life improvements to residents of the development.

In Mount Laurel, Massey finds affordable-housing model
Posted November 7, 2013; 12:00 p.m.
Douglas Massey first learned about the fight over a proposed affordable-housing development in Mount Laurel, N.J., when he was a graduate student at Princeton University in the mid-1970s.
Mount Laurel, a small town about 40 miles south of the Princeton campus, was in the midst of being transformed into a wealthy suburb of Philadelphia. Poor residents saw the proposed affordable-housing development as a way to ensure they could continue to live there as housing prices rose. Opponents feared the development would hurt property values, increase crime and lead to higher taxes.
Play the "Insights With Douglas Massey" video.
The dispute led to landmark New Jersey Supreme Court decisions in 1975 and 1983 that cleared the way for what would become the Ethel Lawrence Homes, a townhome-style neighborhood of 140 units that opened its first phase in 2000. The development, built largely using federal tax credits and loans from the state of New Jersey, is owned and managed by the nonprofit group Fair Share Housing Development Inc.
So by the time Massey returned to New Jersey to join the University's faculty in 2003, the fight in Mount Laurel was over. But there were still no clear answers to the questions about the development's impact on its residents and the surrounding community.
Massey, the Henry G. Bryant Professor of Sociology and Public Affairs and director of the Office of Population Research, saw an opportunity to answer those questions. In this video, Massey tours the development and explains his work.
"I'm a social scientist, and I like to prove things," said Massey, whose research has focused on racial segregation, racial stratification and social stratification in the United States. "It's not good enough for me to just say it looks good or give a few anecdotes. I like to show beyond a shadow of a doubt, and that's what we did here."
Massey and his research team, which included graduate students, a postdoctoral fellow and an adjunct faculty member, began by comparing taxes, crime rates and property values in Mount Laurel with data on Cherry Hill, Cinnaminson and Evesham, nearby townships that didn't have affordable-housing developments. The result? "There was no difference between Mount Laurel and the neighboring townships," Massey said. "We can find no effect at all on taxes, on crime rates, on property values."
Similarly, Massey and his colleagues compared Ethel Lawrence residents with others who applied but were still on the waiting list for one of the development's units, which range from one to three bedrooms. Applicants must have incomes between 10 and 80 percent of the regional median income, between $7,230 and $57,888 annually for a three-person family in 2011.
"We found that people who moved into the Ethel Lawrence Homes had dramatic improvements in the quality of their neighborhoods, and a dramatic decline in exposure to negative life events, like muggings or break-ins," Massey said. "Their mental health improved. They ended up with much higher rates of employment and much higher earnings, a big drop in public assistance, and everybody was much better off."
Among the differences between residents and people on the waiting list:
• 67.2 percent of residents reported working for pay, compared with 55.2 percent of nonresidents;
• income from work for residents was $19,687 a year, compared with $12,912 for the nonresident group; and
• resident children attended much higher quality schools and studied six hours per week more than nonresident children.
The history of the fight for affordable housing in Mount Laurel and the results of the research are discussed in a new book, "Climbing Mount Laurel: The Struggle for Affordable Housing and Social Mobility in an American Suburb." The book's co-authors are Massey; Len Albright, an assistant professor of sociology and public policy at Northeastern University; Rebecca Casciano, founder of evaluation services firm Glass Frog; Elizabeth Derickson, an assistant dean for academic affairs at Swarthmore College; and David N. Kinsey, a visiting lecturer at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. The book was published by Princeton University Press earlier this year.
Overall, Massey says, the Ethel Lawrence Homes offer a lesson in the power of affordable housing.
"I was attracted to this project here because it really provided a model for how to do things, not only to desegregate American society both in racial and class terms, not only to provide decent housing to people who didn't have access to it, but also to provide a program that promotes the social mobility of hard-working people who are just looking for a way to get ahead," he said. "If you give them half a chance they'll do it themselves."
Funding for the research was provided by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Immediately after my daughter Maleen was born, she suffered from a very serious case of pneumonia. My wife and I went to several physicians and, instead of helping us, they demanded patience from us. After a long drawn out period of uncertainty, Maleen was finally diagnosed as suffering from idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension at the age of three years. At that time there was still no treatment for children available in Austria and we were sent home with the words: "Sorry, we cannot do anything about it. Your daughter will not live past five years old. Unfortunately, there is no therapy or cure for pulmonary hypertension for children." I refused to accept this and was fortunate enough to be able to take Maleen to the Presbyterian Hospital at Columbia University in New York, where Dr. Robyn Barst was in charge of the centre for research and treatment, and where the research was considerably further advanced. Since then my daughter has been receiving her life-saving Flolan medication intravenously by an injection pump.
It was at this time that I wondered why no cure for this disease had been discovered. I was told that there were too few patients to motivate the pharmaceutical companies to engage in intensive research and that significant amounts of funding were necessary in order to find a cure. This is why I acted on my own initiative and set a goal of raising funds in order to support the research and help those affected by the disease. That is how the Austrian PH Research Foundation was born in 1999. The Austrian Patient Support group, chaired by Klaus Koerner and myself, was also active at the time. In April 2005, the "Initiative against Pulmonary Hypertension" (the name we gave to the Austrian PH Research Foundation and Patient Support Group working together), was founded with the help of our primary two-year sponsor (the BA-CA Bank).
The Initiative against Pulmonary Hypertension works to help PH patients and families in social matters (such as work issues, getting a parking id, assisting with health insurance and travel, guaranteeing easy access to PH medication, etc.). We also assist with training patients and nurses in PH medications. We have skilled staff to provide psychological care and we provide a patient mobile phone help line to enable patient-to-patient communication. We also arrange patient meetings twice a year and organise biannual meetings of the medical superintendents of health insurance companies with medical advisory board physicians. Most importantly we promote PH awareness under the title "BREATH-TAKING" throughout Austria, including campaigns recommending that PH patients be referred for treatment to specialized PH centres.
Another area of our activities is to raise money to fund PH research projects for advancing effective therapies and finding a cure. Our team of three talented and multi-skilled staff members have been able to bring in personal contacts who have helped make our fundraising efforts very successful. In August 2005, we launched the Project of the Milestones: for a donation of 25 Euro, benefactors could purchase one of 20,000 paving stones engraved with their name and a motto. Each single milestone became a contribution to the "Place of the Milestones" in front of the Planetarium in the Viennese Prater (a famous park in Vienna). As the project progressed, friends of mine – famous Austrian musicians Rainhard Fendrich, Wolfgang Ambros and Georg Danzer, known as the AUSTRIA 3 – agreed to perform free of charge at a "breathtaking" open air concert. Each milestone purchased was also a ticket to attend the concert, which was held 20 May 2006 in the Viennese Prater (12,500 milestone owners attended).
We have also undertaken other fundraising and awareness raising initiatives, including one in cooperation with McDonald's: sheets lining trays at each McDonald's in Austria promoted the "breathtaking" Milestone Charity Concert for two months. A press conference including the Austrian McDonald's leader as well as some celebrities and other key people was also held to launch the "breathtaking" McDonald's campaign. Additionally, we held a charity aerobic marathon where people were offered special passes to attend various exercise classes, partake in healthy snacks as well as a show and raffle. A private stamp collection was put up for an auction on eBay, a "Mystiq" party launching a new drink, charity football matches, golf challenges, a charity circus gala event and the Stroeck-Christmas tramway are some of the other "breathtaking" events we have held to raise money for the Initiative Against Pulmonary Hypertension. We are very proud that our fundraising efforts have allowed us to support two PH research centres located in Graz and Vienna by paying the salaries of medical researchers.
Multiple personal contacts and long-term experiences from various professions are the basis of the Austrian PH team. Former jobs in areas such as the travel industry, event-planning, artist management and marketing, project management and fundraising within non-profit research organizations and work in the pharmaceutical industry have allowed us to create relations with a pool of celebrities, opinion leaders and potential sponsors who are happy to be involved in charity and fundraising events for the benefit of PH awareness. We have been lucky to have so many influential people come together to help accomplish our main objective – a cure for Pulmonary Hypertension.

README.txt for version 7.2 of Vim: Vi IMproved.
Vim is an almost compatible version of the UNIX editor Vi. Many new features
have been added: multi-level undo, syntax highlighting, command line history,
on-line help, spell checking, filename completion, block operations, etc.
There is also a Graphical User Interface (GUI) available. See
"runtime/doc/vi_diff.txt" for differences with Vi.
This editor is very useful for editing programs and other plain ASCII files.
All commands are given with normal keyboard characters, so those who can type
with ten fingers can work very fast. Additionally, function keys can be
defined by the user, and the mouse can be used.
Vim currently runs under Amiga DOS, MS-DOS, MS-Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP,
Atari MiNT, Macintosh, BeOS, VMS, RISC OS, OS/2 and almost all flavours of
UNIX. Porting to other systems should not be very difficult.
There are separate distributions for Unix, PC, Amiga and some other systems.
This README.txt file comes with the runtime archive. It includes the
documentation, syntax files and other files that are used at runtime. To run
Vim you must get either one of the binary archives or a source archive.
Which one you need depends on the system you want to run it on and whether you
want or must compile it yourself. Check "http://www.vim.org/download.php" for
an overview of currently available distributions.
The best is to use ":help" in Vim. If you don't have an executable yet, read
"runtime/doc/help.txt". It contains pointers to the other documentation
files. The User Manual reads like a book and is recommended to learn to use
Vim. See ":help user-manual".
The vim tutor is a one hour training course for beginners. Mostly it can be
started as "vimtutor". See ":help tutor" for more information.
Vim is Charityware. You can use and copy it as much as you like, but you are
encouraged to make a donation to orphans in Uganda. Please read the file
"runtime/doc/uganda.txt" for details (do ":help uganda" inside Vim).
Summary of the license: There are no restrictions on using or distributing an
unmodified copy of Vim. Parts of Vim may also be distributed, but the license
text must always be included. For modified versions a few restrictions apply.
The license is GPL compatible, you may compile Vim with GPL libraries and
distribute it.
Fixing bugs and adding new features takes a lot of time and effort. To show
your appreciation for the work and motivate Bram and others to continue
working on Vim please send a donation.
Since Bram is back to a paid job the money will now be used to help children
in Uganda. See runtime/doc/uganda.txt. But at the same time donations
increase Bram's motivation to keep working on Vim!
For the most recent information about sponsoring look on the Vim web site:
If you obtained a binary distribution you don't need to compile Vim. If you
obtained a source distribution, all the stuff for compiling Vim is in the
"src" directory. See src/INSTALL for instructions.
See one of these files for system-specific instructions:
README_ami.txt Amiga
README_unix.txt Unix
README_dos.txt MS-DOS and MS-Windows
README_os2.txt OS/2
README_mac.txt Macintosh

I was fortunate to have been able to catch Royston Tan's sequel to Old Places, Old Romances, at its premiere on Saturday morning. Old Romances, described by the director as '45 personalised love letters to forgotten places', is not just about personal romances in and with each of the 45 places featured, but about continuing a love affair that has been rekindled by the making of Old Places for a Singapore we might otherwise have forgotten about. The 45 places are all, on their own, fascinating. They are places that many must have deep in their hearts in one way or another. While some, in the two years it took to complete the documentary, have become like that lost love, painfully present in our distant memories; there are many that are there for us to discover a love we might have not known is there.
One place that is featured in which I took the opportunity to find a new love in is the Japanese Cemetery at Chuan Hoe Avenue. The cemetery, said to be the largest burial ground for Japanese outside of Japan (it has also become the resting place for an estimated 10,000 war dead), is a space that I have found to be extremely interesting as a link to a world that we largely have forgotten about. It is however the tales that the sleeping residents tell that thoroughly fascinates me. The 910 graves found on the grounds does each have an interesting story to tell, and among it you will find tales of many extraordinary lives as well as insights into the early Japanese community in Singapore.
The cemetery now serves as a memorial park, having been closed to burials in 1973. It does have a long history and counts as one of the oldest cemeteries still in existence in Singapore, tracing its history to the end of the 1800s. Its owes its founding to three brothel owners, Futaki Takajiro, Shibuya Ginji and Nakagawa Kikuzo, who in 1891 sought the colony's approval to convert up to 12 acres of land including some of their own (they owned rubber estates in the area too) into a cemetery for the burial of destitute Japanese prostitutes, the Karayuki-san. Burials in the grounds do however predate its official establishment, Shibuya and Futaki had reportedly moved the remains of 27 Japanese from a mass grave to the grounds in 1888. Also in 1981, a survey conducted found three gravestones which dated back to 1889.
The cemetery is interesting also in contrasting it to the largest cemetery in Japan at Mount Koya or Koyasan which I also had the opportunity to visit recently. While many of the 200,000 graves in Koyasan are those who had a high station in life, many of the graves in the cemetery in Singapore are of those with a humble social status – at least a third of the graves belong to Karayuki-san.
The Japanese cemetery today occupies a 3 ha. (about a 7 acre) site. No longer set amongst rubber trees (a reminder of that is perhaps a cluster of rubber trees found in the grounds), it today finds itself in the middle of a residential neigbourhood. Stepping into the grounds, an air of serenity greets you. The well-kept cemetery is quietly beautiful and takes one far from the hustle of the urban world that is now at its doorstep. Much of what we see of the very well-kept grounds today is the result of effort undertaken in 1987 by the Japanese Association (which has maintained the cemetery since 1969) to beautify the cemetery in commemoration of its (the association's) 30th Anniversary (post-war) using donations from the community as well as with assistance from Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The largest structure we see in the grounds, is that of the beautifully constructed Prayer Hall or Worship Hall, built in 1986 on the site of two previous Saiyuji temple buildings. The Saiyuji was a Soto sect temple which traces its history to the arrival of its founding monk, Shakushu Baisen of Hyogo in 1892. The first building which was constructed in 1912 and was pulled down in 1960. It was replaced by a second building in which the altars of two disused temples in the city had found a home in. It is the second building that the secular Prayer Hall was built to replace.
The small cluster of rubber trees are the remnants perhaps of the 1000 trees the monk Baisen is said to have planted. That was done to honour the act of philanthropy of the cemetery's founders, as well as to provide an income for the temple. The cluster can be found in the cemetery's south-west corner. The corner is also where a set of three memorial stones erected by Japanese Prisoners of War in memory of those who lost their lives during the Pacific War can be found. Behind the memorial, a single concrete gravestone stands, marking the spot where the ashes of the 10,000 war dead, recovered from the Syonan Chureito in Bukit Batok, lie buried. The largest of the rubber trees is one of two heritage trees found on the grounds. The other is a non-fruiting lychee tree found at the side of the Prayer Hall (next to the caretaker's quarters).
It is in the gravestones of the voiceless that perhaps have the loudest voices. It is thought that a large proportion of the 494 graves of the identifiable graves which do not bear a date are those of the Karayuki-san. There probably were a lot more – a 1947 survey did show that there were 1270 graves and many of the graves of the Karayuki-san had simple wooden grave-markers (before they were replaced with stone) which could have decayed with age.
That a substantial number of the graves belonged to the Karayuki-san, provides an insight into the first Japanese nationals to arrive in Singapore – their first recorded arrival in 1877 coinciding with a period of development which began in the 1870s that provided opportunities which attracted many male immigrants to Singapore. The brothels that the Karayuki-san worked in were centered mainly in what is today the Bugis area (Bugis Junction), first on Malay Street, before spreading to Malabar, Hylam and Bugis Streets with as many as 109 brothels recorded in 1905 employing some 633 Karayuki-san. It was in the area that the early Japanese community was also to establish themselves – Middle Road was referred to by the community as 'Chuo Dori' or 'Central Street'.
Besides the many graves of the voiceless, there are several (some are memorials rather than graves) which belong to notable personalities. One is the grave of Count Hisaichi Terauchi, a Field Marshal who was the Supreme Commander of Southern Command of the Japanese Imperial Army which swept across South-East Asia. Count Terauchi died in Johor as a Prisoner of War in 1946 and his ashes were sent back to his family in Japan. It is thought however that some of his remains and his insignia is however buried in the cemetery.
One grave that does have a fascinating story to tell is that of a certain John Matthew Ottoson. Described as an adventurer, Ottoson is does seem to have been almost a legendary life of adventure. Better known by his native name Otokichi, his adventures started at the age of fourteen in 1832 when he found himself cast adrift off the coast of Japan on a storm damaged ship, the Hojunmaru, on which he was a deckhand. He survived, but not before a fourteen month ordeal which took him across the Pacific to the shores of what is today Washington State. He and two other survivors found washed ashore and soon found themselves in the care of the native Makah tribe.
The next chapter in his adventures took him first to London, then to Macau, and on to Shanghai. It was in Macau that he is thought to have had a hand in the first translation of the Bible into Japanese. He became a British subject in the process, returning to Japan twice as a translator in the service of the British. His second return in late 1854 is significant in that it led to the signing of the Treaty of Peace and Amity between the United Kingdom and Japan. He married a Malay woman later in life and eventually found himself residing in Singapore where he was a trader in local farm products from 1862 until his death in 1867 at the age of 49. In 2004, Otokochi's remains which had been relocated from the original burial site were found to be at Choa Chu Kang. The remains were exhumed and cremated. Some of his ashes were brought to Japan with a portion is kept in the charnel next to the Prayer Hall at the Japanese Cemetery Park. More about the life of Otokichi can be found in this Japan Times article (click here).
Among the other graves and memorial stones of the notable is one that is a memorial to novelist Futabatei Shimei (二葉亭 四迷) in the south-eastern corner of the grounds close to Count Terauchi's grave. Futabatei Shimei's work published in 1887, Ukigumo (Floating Clouds) is regarded as Japan's first modern novel and he was returning from Russia as a special correspondent for the Asahi Shimbun newspaper at the time of his untimely death in 1909. The memorial has apparently been a venerated spot, particularly with visiting Japanese newsmen. Next to the memorial, the unique gravestone belonging to the grave of Kantaro Ueyama can be found. Kantaro Ueyama, who perished in a plane crash at Sembawang in 1942, was the first son of inventor of the mosquito coil, Eiichiro Ueyama.
Along the northern boundary of the grounds is the memorial plaza where there is a cluster of memorial stones placed to commemorate several well known figures. One is that of another somewhat legendary figure, a Terengganu born Japanese bandit popularly known as Harimau (Malay for Tiger), Harimau Malaya (Tiger of Malaya), Raja Harimau (King Tiger). Immortalised by the 1943 Japanese film Marai No Tora (マライの虎) or 'Tiger of Malaya', he was apparently notorious along the East Coast of Malaya and Southern Thailand where he led a band of some 3,000 Malay bandits and portrayed as a Robin Hood like character. Harimau, whose family had run a barber shop in Terengganu's motivation in leading the bandits was to seek revenge for a sister Shizuko who was murdered by a Chinese mob angered by the Manchurian Incident. He later served as an agent for a Japanese Imperial Army intelligence unit and succumbed to Malaria at Tan Tock Seng Hospital in Singapore at the age of 32 on 17 March 1942. His remains are thought to have been buried in a Muslim cemetery near the hospital.
Besides the grave-markers that have vanished with time and the Saiyuji over which the Prayer Hall has been built, there would have also been a two chamber crematorium in the grounds of the cemetery that was also used for non-Japanese cremations and a Shinto shrine dedicated to Inari, of which there are no more traces of. The crematorium which began as a wood-fired one is possibly the first crematorium to be built in Singapore having come up in the first decade of the 1900s. For a period of time following the end of the war, the crematorium was leased to the Singapore Casket Company.
Despite not being fond of hanging around cemeteries, I did spend 3 hours or so at this one. The cemetery is one that I will certainly visit again for the little piece of calm in the storm that has swept across modern Singapore it offers and to perhaps seek more tales that the gravestones hold. The Japanese Cemetery Park (日本人墓地公園 or Nihonjin Bochi Koen) is located at 22 Chuan Hoe Avenue and is about a 300 metre walk in from the junction of Chuan Hoe Avenue with Yio Chu Kang Road. The park is open to visitors from 8 am to 7 pm daily.

Oemma (Mum) took care of me just like I was family! I stayed with her and her family for three weeks at the start of my exchange program at SNU and feel so lucky to have met them. Everyday Oemma prepared delicious (vegetarian) meals for me and helped me figure out every detail of my new life. From little things like catching the bus and getting a Korean sim card, to finding a comfortable and affordable long term apartment, I couldn't have done it without Oemma! We have continued to stay in touch since my stay and I have even taken my visiting friends to her home for dinner. Oemma will give you an authentic, warm and fun-filled Korean experience.
Originally the guest rooms were occupied during our travel period in Seoul. However, our host, Jae Sun, was so kind to offer their room to us and the host couple had to turn their sitting room into sleeping room during bedtimes. A million thanks for their kindness! The photos show the house interior exactly as it is and the available facilities are in line with what were described in Wimdu. Most importantly, Jae Sun is a very nice and open-minded Korean woman. She picked us up at the airport bus terminus in front of the main gate of SNU the night we arrived at Seoul. She also prepared a welcome dinner with delicious Korean food that made us feel at home. She taught us how to make rice rolls with Laver and showed us her delicious kimchi that filled up her fridge. The next day, she took us to a nearby convenient store to buy the T-money cards and gave us advice on touring the city. Whenever you had any queries that came up in your mind or about Korean language, Jae Sun is always willing to help. Despite our short stay in her house, we have already created good friendship among us. All in all, my trip to South Korea was fruitful because not only had I taken a lot of picturesque scenic photos of the fall, but I also found a Korean sister, Jae Sun! 100% recommended!
חוות דעת על מקומות לינה אחרים שמציע/ה מארח/ת זה/זו
Umma's home is situated a little off SNU campus but is easily reached by bus – the bus stop is conveniently located about a minute's walk from the apartment. My hosts were very personable and they did what they could to make my stay as comfortable as possible. Umma gave me a personal tour of the surroundings and made sure that I was well orientated during my homestay. She also speaks good English so it was easy to communicate with her.
The house is very lovely decorated with all facilities needed. One room is actually for 2 people but I lived alone!~ The photos show the place as it is. Location is convenient to SNU. 1 min to bus station. Omma is very responsible and friendly. She picked me up at the airport bus stop nearby, which actually is in front of the main gate of SNU. She showed me for transportation and convenient stores around. Her place is safe, quiet in the night time. Omma prepared for breakfast and dinner nearly everyday with really delicious Korean food and fruits, tea, snacks. Thank you so much for giving me a comfortable stay in Korea. Should definitely recommend others to stay here and you won't regret.

The six residential colleges at Princeton University provide many opportunities for students to get involved with campus life. In addition to serving as the living, dining and advising clusters for undergraduates, the colleges offer social programs that help foster close-knit communities.
Play the "Residential College Year in Review" video.
This video slideshow is a collection of photographs from the past academic year that displays some of the activities the residential colleges organized for students in 2012-13. Some of the highlighted events include Clash of the Colleges, Broadway trips to "The Lion King" and "Phantom of the Opera," fall festivals, themed dinners, film screenings and end-of-semester celebrations.
Other activities in the colleges — which house all freshmen and sophomores, and some juniors, seniors and graduate students — include intramural sports, Friday night parties with a live deejay, yoga and dance lessons, and game nights.
