Singapore has a sensibly regulated free market economy, combined with political stability and certainty based on the rule of law. A laser sharp focus on quality education has produced an industrious and well educated work force. Singapore is probably the only country in that has graduated from being a Third World Country to a First World one within a single generation.

These attributes have attracted many international investors that have turned Singapore into a powerhouse for global business and finance.

Several leading multinational corporations have established their regional headquarters in Singapore, and announce their presence in the form of competing skyscrapers that rival any skyline found in the leading countries of the world.

I'm slowly getting used to the change that gave Flickr a new face. There are new features and tool bars have changed places, is just a matter of getting used to it. With this change in the comment area I miss the sequence of photos, which makes no difference for Flickr users who post only one picture. Flickr could create a tool for those who like to post picture sequences.

Eu aos poucos estou me acostumando com essa mudança que deu uma cara nova ao Flickr. Existem novidades e as barras de ferramentas mudaram de posições, é apenas uma questão de adaptação. Com essa mudança na área de comentários eu sinto a falta da sequência de fotos, para os usuarios do Flickr que postam apenas uma foto, isto não faz diferença. O Flick poderia criar uma ferramenta nova para quem gosta de postar as fotos em sequência.

This Great Blue Heron is regulating body temperature by a process called gular fluttering. Gular means throat tissues, and the heron vibrates them as a way to cool down. As he vibrates the throat tissues his tongue darts in and out, similar to a dog panting. His tongue is visible in this shot. This technique is used by many birds, including herons, pelicans, and cormorants as a way to regulate body temperature. This one was doing a bit of preening as he cooled down.
