Can I license it under MPL 1.1? I think I may rewrite it tomorrow depending on how my time goes. How do you feel about it being written in OOP?
That would be great, if you're willing to try your hand to! Please, feel free to.
Sure thing, MPL 1.1 is perfectly fine as well.
Fantastic, I love OOP and think it's unfortunate to limit things to procedural (although I understand why of course).
Great, I'll keep in touch with any progress made.
Well, there is no actual problem with this particular script, because there simply isn't doing enough things to benefit from OOP - apart from simply encapsulation. However, trying on smaller scripts is always a good fun, testing and learning avenue. :)
Oh, I'm in the process of writing a chat software in OOP, so I definitely think I have the hang of it (at least, a LOT of it).
However, even for scripts the size of this, having it in OOP makes it more modular.

Agni is so important to us that when Veda Vyasa वेद व्यास organised the Veda Mantras into Rg, Yajur, Sama and Atharva, he put the Mantras of Agni first! (While chronologically mantras of the Atharva Veda are first, when Vyasa classified the mantras, he put the mantras useful for japa, ie, the Rk mantras into the Rg Veda, the first among the Vedas, not for chronology but for importance in spiritual sadhana. (Practice).)
What is Agni?
In most modern Indian languages, the word Agni or its variants mean fire.
What is fire?
Fire is a chemical reaction. Chemical reactions take place by electrons belonging to atoms re-arranging themselves. If an electron moves from a sodium atom to a chlorine atom, then the sodium atom becomes a positively charged ion and the chlorine tom becomes a negatively charged ion. Then these ions are held together by electrical forces and give us the sodium chloride we love as salt. There are many, many kinds of chemical reactions and ways in which atoms bond to make new compounds.
What we call fire, is a chemical reaction that involves oxygen. As an example take a piece of wood that has carbon and hydrogen in it. Add energy to it in the form of heat. At some point the hydrocarbons break up. Then oxygen reacts with carbon to form carbon dioxide and with hydrogen to form water vapour. But where does the "fire" – the heat and light come from? The heated up carbon (and other) atoms rising in the air start throwing off (radiating) electromagnetic energy. Lower frequencies of EM energy are heat and higher frequencies EM energy are light. Neils Bohr said that when electrons in atoms, change their energy states, electromagnetic energy is emitted or absorbed.
What is jaTara Agni?
Jataraagni is our digestive "fire", the chemical reactions that digest our food. Krishna tells us in the Bhagavad Gita, that He becomes the vais'vAnara (universal person), enters the bodies of living things and digests the food. This does not look like a bonfire!
There is also, a legend of Agni hiding in the ocean waters, which we shall come back to at a later point in time.
Agni is associated with the movement of electrons.
As a chemical reaction in fire and digestion, as stream of moving electrons in electricity.
When electrons "jump" the "right" energy states photons can be emitted.
Sri Suktham : telling Agni to bring Sri!
In Sri Suktham, we tell Agni, the one born of Vedas (jAtavEda) to bring Lakshmi! (lakshmIm jAtavedO ma Avaha)
We have previously understood Lakshmi as light. (See links at the bottom of this page).
Now, we tell fire to go bring us light.
We tell the electrons to release photons!!
Of course, when we chant this mantram, as a Rg Vedic Mantram for japa, the light we seek is the light of illumination, when we chant this as a yajur mantram along with the araNi sticks and different Vedic Swaras we also want a physical fire to start up.
Today we light a match without any invocation and a fire starts up, or we press a switch and an electron current flows. So we don't treat these events as sacred. We don't see the need to entreat a match to light up, out techniques are more perfected.
But my great grandmother did and my Veda Guru does treat the switching on of a lamp or the lighting of a cooking fire as very sacred things. And there is an additional illumination that was/is reflected in their faces and eyes., because they view(ed) energy as divine, sacred and something worthy of respect!

As August cools off into September, bringing with it the annual return to schedules, structure and schoolwork, we might be asking our suntanned selves: Are we ending summer dumber than we started it?
It isn't that our IQs are dropping faster than the leaves, more that a return to routine after a summer of freewheeling is a hard enough adjustment for adults, but even tougher for kids. "It's a psychological issue; everyone deals with it," says Dave Farrow, an expert on brain training and the Guinness World Record holder for greatest memory. Farrow notes studies have found students can lose up to one grade point when they return to school after summer holidays. "(Kids) haven't experienced the whole, 'OK, summertime is over, now we have to get back to work' feeling often enough and oftentimes they don't have the skills to handle it," Farrow says.
If they aren't ready to sit in a desk and follow rules again, young students can be moody and irritable after that first bell rings.
"Teachers make judgments within the first months that are going to affect how they treat this student for the year," Farrow says.
Farrow, along with ADHD expert Shanna Pearson, have advice on not only getting kids back into learning mode come September, but getting your grown-up mind on track, too. That's because no matter your age, a big change in your routine can throw your work into upheaval.
"Summer dumber syndrome" has been around for a long time, Farrow says, and it's not unlike the trouble some people have with "seasonal affective disorder" when winter imposes itself.
"Especially with youth, it has become worse because of technology," he says. "There's not as much physical activity ... all that has kind of conspired to make things worse more recently than they ever have in our history."
While a child who is an avid reader keeps their synapses firing by consuming a few page-turners over summer, many kids don't get the kind of mental stimulation their brains crave when school is out.
"Your brain becomes very lazy if it's not used and exercised in different ways," Farrow says, citing the neuroscience theory of brain plasticity. "The person who is always trying new hobbies, always trying new things, their brain is sharper and they're essentially keeping their brain healthy and young for their whole life."
Summer hobbies for kids "absolutely help their performance in school come September," Farrow says. "Anything that keeps them mentally active, keeps them off the video games and the pure mental junk food."
That could be something like joining a book club at the public library or starting up one of Farrow's memory clubs. But keeping the brain active can also mean learning new sports.
"You don't realize how many neurons are involved with learning to keep your balance or learning to hit a ball with a bat," Farrow says. "That is a learning process as powerful and as useful to the brain as learning your ABCs or learning a formula." And that's true for adults, as well as kids, Pearson says.
"Everyone always asks, 'Are you sure I can do this? I'm not too old?'" Pearson says.
"I'm always saying, 'It's been debunked. You can teach an old dog new tricks.' " A summer of late nights of video games and lazy afternoons on the Internet doesn't mean your young student is doomed never to get into university, but it could take its toll.
"The worst thing you can do for a kid is just let them be free and have no routine besides meals," Pearson says. "Because then when school starts, they're expected just to jump in full swing and there's no way that they can do that."
Farrow suggests adding structure back, through set dinner times and chores, for example, in the weeks leading up to the first day of school.
"Don't put your vacation time too close to going back to school," he advises. "They're going to feel depressed because of such a huge transition ... you want them always to be looking forward to (school), not regretting it."
Even if the neurons are feeling rusty as the days start to get shorter and the nights cooler, Farrow suggests it doesn't take much work to make a difference in your brain.
Spending 10 minutes a day on a "mentally stimulating task" or purposeful activity, like practising that new hobby - or his trademark skill, memorizing the order of a deck of cards - can help keep the brain alert.
"Doing a little bit every day keeps (students) so sharp," he says, "that when they get back in school, it's almost as if they hit the ground running when everyone else is still mentally sluggish."
When it's time to get back to reality after a summer of hanging out at the cabin, on the patio or restoring a flooded basement, a return to normalcy isn't always so normal. "People get very disjointed and overwhelmed from, 'I'm not even sure what time I'm supposed to get up today,'" says ADHD coach Shanna Pearson.
"Then your entire day gets knocked off because there is no schedule." While Pearson works specifically with ADHD adult clients, she says those without ADHD can experience similar feelings of being thrown off course due to a "state change" like summer vacation or a natural disaster.
Here's her advice for staying productive when the outside world is working against you or beckoning you back to the patio.
Especially when you're on vacation, stay goal-oriented.
While taking a hiatus from work, it's easy to give your brain too much of a break, and that can mean it's hard to catch up later. Pearson suggests pursuing personal goals during those times, for example, about finances, health or relationships. Make sure they're measurable, like learning to meditate for 15 minutes per day, or going out with a partner twice a week.
"With our clients, that's been proven to keep people really on their game, regardless of what they're working toward," she says.
Pick a time of day where you can be doing the things you need to reach your goals.
Figure out what time of day you have the most energy to accomplish tasks, Pearson says. Don't put pressure on yourself to be at your most productive between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m. if your "power time" is naturally later at night.
That way, "regardless of what's happening in the outside world, you're basically in control of what you're doing and how productive you are."
Break it into steps, and work on one step every day.
Assuming you actually want to achieve those goals you've set, Pearson says the key is to break each goal into at least 10 steps. Then, work on one of those steps every day at your "power time".
"You will actually quite likely achieve what you want to achieve," Pearson says. "And that's going to really get people pumped."

The couple that owns the hostel was so friendly and welcomed us with friendly faces. We were stopping in only for one night, but they were willing to lend a hand with anything we needed and we had some nice conversations on the beautiful terrace with a mini jungle! It was intimate, clean and spacious and we would stay there again if we were in San Jose!

Last week we posed the question of what will happen to Bill Gaytten now that Raf Simons has been hired as the creative director at Dior. At the brand's couture show in Shanghai over the weekend, it was made clear that the collection was the last we will see of him at the French house.
This doesn't seem to be something that Sidney Toledano, president and CEO of Dior, seems to be worried about. Rather than focusing on praising Gaytten for the work he's done at the house during this difficult time, his attention centred around the future of the brand under Raf Simons' leadership. Talking to WWD he said that the appointment marks a 'very exciting time' for the brand. 'I always said that te right person would come along when all the strs aligned and that's exactly what happened last week,' he said. '[Simons] has already begun to lay out his vision for where he can take Dior in the future and I think we are all very excited by that vision.'
It's true. Raf Simons at Dior is exciting and there's no doubt that he will flourish there in the same way that he did at Jil Sander. That being said, Toledano's comments must be a hard pill for Gaytten to swallow. He's never disguised the fact that he wanted the big job so to have the attention at his last show pushed in another direction, especially after the fairly good job that he has done under the pressure, must have been difficult.
What do you think?

"The Parker Quartet and Library of Congress honor a long standing musical tradition through the performance of legendary compositions on these authentic instruments, and we're thrilled to offer this unique program for new generations to enjoy," said Dr. Sachiko Kuno, president and CEO of the S&R Foundation.
The performances bring together one-of-a-kind instruments and world-class musicians and musical experts. Mr. Ikeda has performed with the Tokyo String Quartet for nearly 40 years, and served as a faculty member at the Yale School of Music since 1976. The Grammy Award-winning Parker Quartet has toured internationally since their formation in 2002 and will serve as Harvard University's Blodgett Artists-in-Residence beginning in fall 2014. In pre-concert talks at both venues, Library of Congress instrument curator Carol Lynn Ward-Bamford, violist Jessica Bodner and luthier John Montgomery will offer attendees background on the craftsmanship of Antonio Stradivari and the history and provenance of the Tuscan-Medici viola, on loan to the Library from the Tuscan Corporation.
"The S&R Foundation and Library of Congress share a passion for preserving history and culture through the arts. We are delighted to be inaugurating a new partnership between our two institutions with these two performances," said Susan H, Vita, Chief of the Library's Music Division. "The intimate music room at Evermay, and the Library's Coolidge Auditorium, are acoustically perfect settings to experience these beautiful 17th-century instruments."
The performances will be held at the Library of Congress on December 18 and the Foundation's headquarters, Evermay estate, on December 19, as part of the Overtures Holiday Concert Series. Tickets to the two performances can be purchased at Ticketmaster.com, for the Library of Congress concert; and http://overturesseries.org/content/parker-quartet-kikuei-ikeda.

More on this we're gonna bringing Karl Rove former senior advisor and deputy chief of staff to president George W.
Bush also a Fox News contributor -- Carly.
Kind of a dealmaker right.
It think through and it you know free car free dinner -- -- we take that off her.
Look in 2008.
John McCain put out two years of tax returns and we never heard a -- Out of the Obama campaign about how this was insufficient they certainly did say.
Senator McCain you need to go back and -- -- returns back to 1999 when you began your first presidential campaign for the 2000 election.
Look I thought Matt roads car right this is all about distraction.
You know arguing about -- bit Romney's tax cuts these kind of personal attacks are not gonna put a single American back to work should be single dollar offer national debt grow the economy more or do anything to make people bit feel better about their health care.
It's a distraction and you'll notice the Obama team did this the day after.
Is there a controversy arose about Jill Biden put his foot in his mouth once again so you know listen to distraction.
Are right -- what the last couple weeks we've seen that right the president's cancer is asked for this the Romney campaign says no now a couple weeks later.
We're back at it again it's just a cycle of deja Vu so.
So what happens next is this something we just should expect to see for the next several weeks -- -- election just disregarded or mean what what what do you make of this back and forth.
Well look we're gonna see this because look this is a way for them to.
In essence for the Obama team Obama to undercut or attempt to undercut Mitt Romney's credibility if it -- not having to preventing I look I don't think so I think the American people if you were concerned about -- made up your mind about it weeks ago.
Look we know he's a rich guy we know he derives his income.
Primarily from investments which is taxed at a lower rate as everyone agrees it should be -- virtually everybody agrees it should be.
And and you've made up your mind about this issue I think this does highlight the fact that the president can't deal.
With the issues on a sustained on one basis we're not have any campaign in his mind he doesn't want -- have a came in about jobs economy deficits debt spending.
Affordable Care Act Medicare he wants to have it about these side issues and it's a sign of weakness on the part of the president.
I let me ask you batsman and numbers that we've seen Gallup put out these polls would it look like for Ronnie before the announcement that Paul Ryan is gonna be his running mate.
And what it looks like for Romney afterward so we're we're looking on the screen is before.
Yet the president have 45% governor Romney 46 within the margin of bear just just for kind take Sydney -- after the announcement shifts very slightly the president is still up 45%.
Governor Romney slightly higher -- a little bit still within the margin of -- so why are we seeing.
No movement here Carl.
Yeah well look that's traditional we see a very minor -- typically that dwindles away this race is different in that there have been such hard feelings on both sides.
-- committed partisans for Obama committed partisans for Romney.
And -- we're not likely to see much movement what I do think we're seeing though is increase in the amount of enthusiasm their shows Romney as a bold leader.
Who's gonna put the deficit and debt and spending and entitlement reform.
And repeal of obamacare right in the center of the campaign and make it about big issues and that's probably -- -- that they would ever gain he has from this is more sustainable and durable.
And we will see this weekend.
You sought begin yesterday.
The pundits and prognosticators based on the newest polling are gonna begin to move Ohio.
And -- and and Wisconsin out of the lean Obama category based on new polls and put in -- the toss -- category which is good news for the Romney and Ryan -- has very.
And we're gonna look at back certainly is since he's so important also so important -- you -- -- -- -- fund raising and one of the things that we just learned today.
A week after that announcement is that about ten million dollars has been raised -- for the Romney campaign.
60% of them from new donors now.
Are you -- -- -- look at that right for your yeah forget -- -- yeah let me let me -- -- quite as good -- show -- his numbers.
You're the co-founder of American -- this is a super packet gets a lot of attention.
Are you saying the same trends is more money coming in -- the super pac is -- -- campaign just based on this announcement.
Yeah it's it's enthused a lot of people and people are opening up their wallets on it and look there's a story here let's step back from it there's another story here that's that's it's been messed.
At the end of April the Democrats Obama and the Democratic National Committee had a cash on hand advantage.
Over Republicans Romney and the Republican national committee of 95 million dollars.
By the end of may and it -- to 61.
By the ended June -- dwindled to 23.
We now know that in July at the Romney team and Republican National Committee raised a combined 101 million dollars.
Giving them a 186 million dollars cash on hand.
The DNC and Obama -- 75 million dollars and they've refused to release their cash on hand number.
But I think that the -- what we're gonna see is at this point three million dollar advantage was wiped out by combination of the Republicans.
Raising more and the Democrats spend anymore and as a result we're likely to see the Republicans with a bigger cash on hand advantage when all the dust settles.
On July that's a big big problem and it's only gonna accelerate.
Here in August and it's not just a small donors ten million dollars from from small -- big number I was in Alabama yesterday they had a fund -- the night before Birmingham.
Biggest fund raiser in the history of the state.
2.2 million dollars for the Romney Republican National Committee effort that's a huge number for a community like that and it's a side of the enthusiasm that's out there.
And very interesting considering the economy that ran his well being one of the top issues that we're talking about you that dry erase board it caught our attention -- that somebody -- or any used.
A dry erase board and we're wondering if you may -- why trademark that thing.
Before you know other people start using it there's Mitt Romney and the campaign trail yesterday -- -- -- -- -- monologue Karl rover what -- but.
It's embracing him copping your stock.
Yeah well first of all they do one thing always right you're bored out in advance.
Very few ways to collect here's the deal -- I tried to trade market the family of Tim Russert would -- on me and you know like like a -- jobs not so no not gonna do that.
-- not I think what is and they -- mean there's nothing you can do to top that after -- -- -- -- out there -- nice set your perspective today as always you that and then we'll remember right out the board before you start --

Fire at Hereford Café
12:10pm Friday 29th June 2012 in Local News
TOWELS drying in a heated cupboard caught fire at a Hereford café last night.
Firefighters were called to Diego's Café in Bridge Street at 11.45pm and used a hose reel to extinguish the flames.
"Thankfully there was no major damage at the café, but we would like to highlight this incident to encourage other businesses to be vigilant with their own working practices," said station commander Sean Bailey of Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service.
He reminded restaurant and café owners to ensure that staff are trained to check at the end of each shift that all hot plates, stoves, crockery warmers and other appliances are switched off.

THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT keeps petabytes (that's a million gigabytes each) of information secret every year — some of it highly sensitive, some of it hardly. A 1972 diplomatic telegram that discusses the exchange of gifts between the United States and China — musk oxen from the Nixon administration in return for two Chinese pandas — was labeled confidential, and it wasn't declassified until 1997.
Americans have a right to know what the government is doing on their behalf or in their name, except in exceptional circumstances. A functioning democracy requires the people to hold their government to account. Accountability, in turn, requires knowledge about government activities. It also requires access to information about what the government has done in the past, and how that worked or didn't. A complex and cautious system can even harm national security, keeping information from people within and outside government who could help make sense of it.

text: The Legacy of the Plumed Serpent in Ancient Mexico July 29–November 25, 2012 The Dallas Museum of Art presents The Legacy of the Plumed Serpent in Ancient Mexico, the first large-scale exploration of the ancient kingdoms of southern Mexico and their patron deity, Quetzalcoatl, an incarnation of the spirit force of wind and rain that combined the attributes of a serpent with those of the quetzal bird, thus the name "Plumed Serpent." On view from July 29 through November 25, 2012, this groundbreaking exhibition features 150 objects—including painted codices, turquoise mosaics, gold, and textiles—loaned from museums and private collections in Mexico, Europe, and the United States. These rare artworks trace the development of an extensive trade network that resulted in a period of international entrepreneurship and innovation that spread across ancient Mexico, the American Southwest, and Central America during the Postclassic (AD 900–1521) and early colonial periods. The Codex Zouche-Nuttall is one of a small number of known Mexican codices (illustrated screenfold manuscript books) dating to pre-Hispanic times, it is made of deer skin and comprises forty-seven leaves. One side of the document relates the history of important centers in the Mixtec region, while the other, starting at the opposite end, records the genealogy, marriages, and political and military feats of the Mixtec ruler Eight Deer Jaguar-Claw. The Codex Zouche-Nuttall, which was first published in 1902, is one of the few Mesoamerican pictorial documents to have escaped destruction. The Legacy of the Plumed Serpent in Ancient Mexico was organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and co-curated by LACMA curators the late Dr. Virginia Fields and Dr. Victoria Lyall, together with guest curator Dr. John Pohl, Adjunct Professor, Department of Art History at UCLA. Roslyn A. Walker, Senior Curator of the Arts of Africa, the Americas, and the Pacific and The Margaret McDermott Curator of African Art at the Dallas Museum of Art, is the curator of the Dallas presentation. The press release is available in Spanish in the Press Room. The Legacy of the Plumed Serpent in Ancient Mexico was made possible by the National Endowment for the Humanities. It was supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts and by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities. The organizers are grateful for the special collaboration of the National Council for Culture and the Arts (CONACULTA), Mexico, and the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), Mexico. The exhibition in Dallas is presented by Texas Instruments. Additional support provided by the Selz Foundation and Northwestern Mutual Financial Network. Air transportation provided by American Airlines. Promotional support provided by The Fairmont Dallas.

This is my kid and she is 5
She wanted to take hulk with her to school today, and she was so happy that i took her pic. she loves avengers, she watched the movie multiple times, and she always asks me for their action figures, especially from Black widow and Iron man but unfurtunally She only got the Hulk one that was from her older cousin (not only because i´m broke but also i cant find any black widow anywhere) but thats not why i´m really freaking mad…..
As soon as she got to the school her teacher looked at her, and with wide eyes and a disgusted voice and said
You, with a Hulk doll? well that is surprising
so i immediately stepped in and asked the teacher to please pay attention during play time, because i didnt want her to have a hard time with the boys,
after i picked her up the teacher told me that everything went ok. that my baby had gave the toy to the boys and went to play something else.. that struck me as really weird, because Nico was really exited about playing with her friend and his Capitan america. so on the way home i asked what happened
They took him away and didnt let me play with them because i´m a girl, they also tripped me so i fell during P.E, but i didnt see who did it.
She also told me that the teacher did nothing, not even when she fell and cried….
But the worst part is that she spent 40 minutes back home hugging her hulk and giving it kisses and telling me how she didn't want to take it again to school because she didn't want her friends to be mean and take it away again, but my heart really broke when she asked me
Could you please take care of him tomorrow when i will be at school?
he is brave but i don't want him to be alone
Now we will sit to watch Avengers again with a bucket of pop corn and the hulk. but i know that it will be a long long time before i manege to convince her that she doesn't have to hide the fact that she loves these heroes, and that the problem is with the other boys not with her.
This story will be heard, dammit.
And then you find that admin is biased. Honestly, I'm so glad my parents did half their gift shopping from scientific...
i still get made fun of for skateboarding and wanting to cosplay a male character. -.-
This makes me so extremely outraged. I can't understand the logic behind gendering toys, and acting like kids aren't...

Complex Systems Computation Group (CoSCo)
The Complex Systems Computation Research Group investigates computational modeling issues in complex systems, and the related implementation aspects, focusing on prediction and model selection tasks. The work has both a strong basic research component, being at the intersection of computer science, information theory and mathematical statistics, and an applied component where the results are used for solving problems in various disciplines from social sciences, criminology, ecology and medicine to industrial engineering.
The research areas addressed include probabilistic modeling and data analysis, information theoretical approaches to inference, constraint reasoning and ubiquitous computing. Central themes in the applied research include information retrieval, context-awareness for ubiquitous computing, modeling for location-aware services and sensor networks. All in all, the work in CoSCo is organized under the following thematic sub-areas:
- Adaptive Computing (leaders: Patrik Floréen and Petteri Nurmi)
- Computational Inference (leader: Petri Myllymäki)
- Constraint Reasoning and Optimization (leader: Matti Järvisalo)
- Information, Complexity and Learning (leader: Teemu Roos)

text: A man dealing with a variety of crises learns his brother may have even more troubles than he does in this drama from director Denis Dercourt. Mathieu Guibert (Vincent Perez) is a musician who has sunk into a swamp of anxiety and depression, aggravated by a difficult relationship with his booking agent and former wife Jeanne (Anne Marivin) and the news that his mother (Francoise Lebrun) has been diagnosed with cancer. When Mathieu's mother warns him that his brother Paul (Jeremie Renier) has developed some strange hobbies, Mathieu looks in on him and learns Paul has joined a group that reenacts military campaigns from the era of Napoleon. Mathieu regards Paul's new pastime as eccentric but not dangerous until he meets a self-proclaimed Captain (Aurelien Recoing) who challenges Mathieu to a duel -- using real weapons. Demain des l'aube (aka Tomorrow At Dawn) was an official selection at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival, where it was screened as part of the "Un Certain Regard" program. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

For five days I'm writing about the most interesting methods people have used throughout history to raise brilliant children of all types. Yesterday I wrote Poor Baby? Nope. Strong Baby.
Sirena Huang started violin lessons at age 4 and made her professional solo debut at 9 with the Taiwan Symphony Orchestra. I watched her play on TED several months ago and she's been on my mind lately. Especially after reading Amy Chua's book The Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother. I've seen musical prodigies before, but what blew me away when I watched Sirena, is how articulate she is and how at ease she seems on stage. This kid must practice six hours a day, just like Amy Chua's pianist and violinist daughters.
It is necessary to be concerned about the importance of educating a really beautiful human spirit.

Rapha Rides in Singapore
Words: Jody Chapman
It was 5:29am on a Saturday morning. It hadn't dropped much below 30 degrees the previous night and the air was so thick with humidity you could chew it. People on the tail end of their Friday night out stared in bewilderment as cyclists assembled at the Long House, Singapore's mecca for cyclists. Riders milled about, recognisable in their club strips through bleary eyes. Sat under the strip lights of this otherwise deserted hawker market, were a small crew of well-clad guys; they would be the fellow tormentors for the early morning smash.
With Vinnie present it was never going to be a steady or predictable 70km loop. The pace quickly reached 40kph and stayed there for the majority of the ride. It soon became clear that Vinnie was playing with us; pinging off the front, sand-bagging and apparently updating his Facebook status every few minutes. Our group of nine riders took some of the snap from Vinnie's elastic jaunts but by the end of Mandai Road, the pace had increased again. The sprint was soon on and familiar silhouettes were out of their saddles, swinging bikes wildly to be first past the bus stop. My head was down but at that time of the morning I didn't really care who won (although I'm pretty sure it was Vinnie) as we headed to the Botanic Gardens for the day's Rapha customer ride.
After a masala tea, Rapha's two Adams, Horler and Taylor-Campbell, addressed the 50 cyclists who had assembled by the Botanic Gardens to explain the route. Slowly we snaked our way out of the café with the click of cleats ricocheting down the road. We headed back towards the Long House and down the most picturesque roads Singapore has to offer. Flanked by luscious green vegetation the highways became a distant memory.
Heading towards Kranji, a good steady pace pulled everyone through Singapore's farming district and down onto LCK: a straight and exposed 5km stretch of road which instinctively causes cyclists to come off the hoods, look for a good wheel to suck, and hunker down for a 10-minute pain fest. Disparate groups of five or six riders threw everything they had at the final few hundred metres, despite this being the day's second pass down this particular stretch. After regrouping we turned left away from the usual Kranji route and onto undiscovered roads.
We passed Bukit Batok, a dramatic rock and lake vista which looks alien in this landscape, nestled amongst high HDB flats. This was the first of many surprises along the second half of the route. The first shock came as we peeled off the front side of SBV and on to Vigilante, a one-kilometre climb that reaches a 20% gradient in parts. It is brutal. Again mini competitions between the small groups ensued and riders emerged at the summit either victorious or defeated.
From the top of Vigilante we followed Henderson Way down on to Pepys, bringing us out on the West Coast Highway. Everyone thought we were heading for the respite of coffee and cake, but the route took us on the most remarkable detour, meandering and looping through Kent Ridge Park and past the driveways of beautifully kept houses. With the late morning sun angling through the trees, it soon became an effortless ramble with views across the city.
Finally we made it back to the hawker centre in Bukit Merah and were treated to a variety of desserts at Vinnie's mum's stall. It was an opportunity to meet riders as they sat tasting grass jelly, sea coconut and lychee desserts. As people began to drift back towards their bikes, I realised that not only had I seen bits of Singapore that would have probably remained hidden to me but that I had met people who otherwise would have remained strangers.
I was saddened to discover that after a truly heartening ride with new friends, a cyclist had recently been killed on the East Coast Road in a traffic accident. A stark reminder that this incredible sport can be so fragile and life so easily taken away. On behalf of everyone who rode, our thoughts and condolences are with the young victim's family and friends.
