WAT PHA LUANG TA BUA — better known among travelers as “Tiger Temple” — is probably the most controversial temple in Southeast Asia.
The Tiger Temple in the western province of Kanchanaburi - about 80 km from Bangkok - began life in 1999 when the first female cub was brought to Wat Pa Luangta Bua Yannasampanno, a Buddhist sanctuary, and was cared for by the monks.
Later, several tiger cubs were given to the temple.
As of January 2016, the number of tigers living at the temple exceeded 150
While walking in the temple grounds, visitors will run into countless peacocks, bulls and wild boar. The highlight, however, is the chance to get up close and personal with a tiger.
While other animals walk freely in the temple grounds, the tigers are on leashes and chained when they are public areas.
Widely known as the Tiger Temple, the monastry became famous worldwide in 2004 after western media outlets such as Animal Planet began airing stories about the Buddhist monks who take care of abandoned and orphaned tigers.
Since then, it has evolved into a much larger wildlife haven and is now a major tourist attraction in Thailand.
It is one of the few places in the world that allows visitors to touch tigers.
For a basic entrance fee - or 'donation' - of 600 baht , visitors get a tour of the site and the chance to enter the sanctuary's Tiger Canyon, a quarry with a rocky pool at one end containing a dozen or so sleeping tigers chained to the ground.
During a small half-hour window, tourists have the option of being escorted around the quarry with two volunteers so they can pet each tiger while they sleep. One volunteer keeps an eye on the tiger while the other takes charge of tourist's camera and snaps away as they touch the big cats.
Many online forums discussing the temple contain fierce debate of the ethical issues surrounding such a tourist attraction.
This picture was taken hours before the temple was closed to tourists and visitors.

Crews install ground monitoring instruments in October 2012 along the SR 99 tunnel route. The instruments will track any movement below the surface during tunneling. Similar equipment will be installed on nearly 200 buildings and structures. Learn more about the program at www.alaskanwayviaduct.org.
Statesmen’s Forum featuring NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg as he considers the challenges facing the Transatlantic Alliance and the ways in which NATO must adapt. What are the challenges posed by a more assertive Russia? Are its aggressive actions in Ukraine part of a larger pattern? With state and non-state actors employing hybrid and asymmetrical warfare tactics on multiple fronts, how is NATO adapting its strategy and posture in order to effectively combat these often unclear and ambiguous threats? As the Alliance seeks to deliver on its mandate of preserving the freedom and security of all its members, Secretary General Stoltenberg will consider these questions and offer his insights on the future of NATO in this changing security environment.

Mr. Jens Stoltenberg

The Revera and Reel Youth Age is More Film Project is an intergenerational partnership between Revera, a Canadian leader in seniors' accommodation, care and services, and Reel Youth, a charitable project that empowers youth to create engaging films about important social issues. The partnership was launched in 2013.
With 80 films to date, the program celebrates older Canadians through story-telling and film, with the added benefit of fostering new intergenerational relationships. The project aims to shed light on ageism, challenge the assumptions of aging and recognize the valuable contributions of older adults to society.

so a post in the lab inspired me to post the final for the wonders series.
it's fun to see the entire evolution of a project, so i thought i'd post the final product.
this also shows what elements we use in our weekly program/bulletin. in case you were all wondering.
this is not a "standard" layout for our program, because we have no "standard". it's a different layout (shape fold, everything) for each series.
thanks for everyone's help.
Here I (silently) program the Kenbakuino with a simple program which just adds 1 to the displayed number, in an infinite loop. It's too fast to really see, the LEDs are a blur, so I use one of my extensions to slow it down. Note that when entering the program, sometimes I choose to use the CLR button to reset the number to 000 before entering a new value, other times I modify what's already there.
The operations are
003 (enter 3 octal)
SET (sets the address to 3)
004
STOR (this sets the memory at the address (3) to 4 and increments the address. Location 3 is the program counter and it's now set to point at the next byte, the start of the program)
103 (this is the "ADD constant to register A" op-code)
STOR
CLR (set the entry to 000)
001 (this is the constant to add to A)
STOR
134 (this is the "STORE A at address" op-code)
STOR
CLR (set the entry to 000)
200 (this is the address to store A, 200 is the output register)
STOR
344 (this is the "JUMP unconditionally to address" op-code)
STOR
CLR (set the entry to 000)
004 (this is the address to jump back to -- the start of the program)
STOR
STRT (the program runs, but too fast to see)
STOP (stop the program)
BIT-4+STOP (slows the CPU down)
STRT (the incrementing is visible now)

The Mural Arts Program began in 1984 as a component of the Philadelphia Anti-Graffiti Network, an effort spearheaded by then Mayor Wilson Goode to eradicate the graffiti crisis plaguing the city. The Anti-Graffiti Network hired muralist Jane Golden to reach out to graffiti writers and to redirect their energies from destructive graffiti writing to constructive mural painting.

These are the most frequent scripts made by members of the Scratch Online Community. You can think of them as the collective nuggets of programming wisdom created by a quarter of a million kids from around the world.
This is the result of an analysis of the ~2 million projects on the Scratch website.
The gray ones are the ones without any behavior associated to them, most likely the result of experimentation.
Thanks to members of the Scratch community (MyRedNeptune, Jonathanpb, Scimonster and BWOG) for helping with the creation of this image.
