destination park

Design a park, anyone?

Making Singapore an inclusive society can start with ideas for new parks, says PM

There is a part of Kallang River that now runs through Bishan Park.

Previously encased in a concrete canal at the edge of the park, it now meanders through the greenery, teeming with fish that tantalise aspiring young fishermen.

Against this backdrop of the rejuvenated 24-year-old park, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong yesterday announced that change will come to three other parks too: Admiralty Park, East Coast Park and Jurong Lake Park.

But this time, it will be Singaporeans who decide what these "Destination Parks", as the National Parks Board (NParks) has termed them, will become.

"Help us co-create our national plans," urged Mr Lee, also an MP for Ang Mo Kio GRC, at the opening of the redeveloped park, renamed Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park, yesterday.

The three new Destination Parks in the northern, eastern and western parts of Singapore, will become green hubs, and could feature unique elements such as giant slides and adventure playgrounds that are not usually found in public parks.

But these are mere suggestions from NParks to start the ball rolling. "Share with the National Parks your ideas," said Mr Lee. "What do you want to see in your parks? More facilities for old people? More slides for young people? More nature (or) food and drink options?"

"Not just ideas for the physical landscape but for developing an open and neighbourly culture," he added.

"Let's work hard to make this a truly inclusive society."

In fact, NParks is announcing the new initiative earlier than usual, precisely because it is determined to use public feedback to shape the parks, said its chief executive Poon Hong Yuen yesterday.

What each Destination Park will finally contain, how much redevelopment it will undergo, and even what the budget is, have yet to be decided, he said. There may even be more than three in the end, if the public so desires.

NParks is planning to complete the initiative in three to five years, stretching to 10, if more parks are built.

It will go on a massive public engagement drive in the next six months, involving roadshows and focus-group sessions.

Members of the public can also share their views at www.nparks. gov.sg/ciag.

The initiative is part of the Govenment's commitment to make Singapore the "best home", said PM Lee yesterday.

"After all, Singapore is not just defined by tall buildings or skylines, or even exciting events like F1," he said. "But rather by the places where we grew up, the people we meet daily and the community spaces we enjoy together."

It is especially important to improve the living environment in the heartland through projects like upgrading homes and transport networks, as that is where "we raise our families, forge new memories and strengthen our emotional ties".

The Government, he added, "cannot do this alone; all of us must take ownership of our shared home".

Mr Lee cited examples of active citizenry already taking place around the green spaces in Singapore. For instance, a volunteer group known as the "Friends of Kallang River @ Bishan Park" patrols it on weekends and cleans it up quarterly.

"I hope to see many more such examples because Singapore is our home and it's up to all of us to make the best of it."

Members of the public yesterday welcomed the Destination Parks initiative.

Architect Felicia Ow, 28, said she hoped they would become places unlike anywhere else in Singapore. "Then people would definitely travel there for the experience, like what Punggol is now."

"I think it's good to make the parks more interesting," said fast-food restaurant worker Ng Choon Lui, 56. "But I also hope that the parks do not become so built up with structures that we lose the feeling of greenery all around and open spaces, because that's why my friends and I go to the park."

Parade to break the silence

Section:	News

No. of words:	150

BREAK The Silence is a musical parade for youth to come together and make a stand against bullying.

Participants will walk from The Cathay to Orchard Central and back.

They will be led by a percussion band. The walk will alternate between silence and music at different landmarks.

Along the way, participants will be encouraged to engage passers-by by giving out free hugs and stickers at various intervals.

When they return to The Cathay, participants will engage in a segment called "Break-a-Way".

They will be asked to write down derogatory terms they have been called on chipboards, after which they will break the board.

Break The Silence is funded and supported by Central Singapore CDC's Mayor's Imagine Fund, which aims to promote active citizenry in youth and help them realise their ideas for the community.

Registration at $5 starts at 4:30pm tomorrow. The parade starts at 5pm.

I think similar praise should be heaped upon Funny or Die, an independent comedy video website founded by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay’s production company, Gary Sanchez Productions, for the fact that it is consistently able to produce videos on par with Saturday Night Live or The Daily Show.

fb features

The media often compares Facebook to MySpace, but one significant difference between the two Web sites is the level of customization.^[59] Another difference is Facebook's requirement that users give their true identity, a demand that MySpace does not make.^[60] MySpace allows users to decorate their profiles using HTML and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), while Facebook allows only plain text.^[61] Facebook has a number of features with which users may interact. They include the Wall, a space on every user's profile page that allows friends to post messages for the user to see;^[62] Pokes, which allows users to send a virtual "poke" to each other (a notification then tells a user that they have been poked);^[63] Photos, where users can upload albums and photos;^[64] and Status, which allows users to inform their friends of their whereabouts and actions.^[65] Depending on privacy settings, anyone who can see a user's profile can also view that user's Wall. In July 2007, Facebook began allowing users to post attachments to the Wall, whereas the Wall was previously limited to textual content only.^[62]
On September 6, 2006, a News Feed was announced, which appears on every user's homepage and highlights information including profile changes, upcoming events, and birthdays of the user's friends.^[66] This enabled spammers and other users to manipulate these features by creating illegitimate events or posting fake birthdays to attract attention to their profile or cause.^[67] Initially, the News Feed caused dissatisfaction among Facebook users; some complained it was too cluttered and full of undesired information, others were concerned that it made it too easy for others to track individual activities (such as relationship status changes, events, and conversations with other users).^[68]
In response, Zuckerberg issued an apology for the site's failure to include appropriate customizable privacy features. Since then, users have been able to control what types of information are shared automatically with friends. Users are now able to prevent user-set categories of friends from seeing updates about certain types of activities, including profile changes, Wall posts, and newly added friends.^[69]
On February 23, 2010, Facebook was granted a patent^[70] on certain aspects of its News Feed. The patent covers News Feeds in which links are provided so that one user can participate in the same activity of another user.^[71] The patent may encourage Facebook to pursue action against Web sites that violate its patent, which may potentially include Web sites such as Twitter.^[72]

facebook growth

http://edition.cnn.com/2011/TECH/social.media/06/13/facebook.dropping.america/index.html

(CNN) -- Facebook, the seemingly unstoppable juggernaut of the social-media world, continues to grow, steaming toward 700 million registered users. But has the site tapped out its potential in America?
The site lost more than 7 million active users in the United States and Canada last month, according to data from Inside Facebook, a blog that tracks the site and its development platform.
Mexico, where Facebook use started later than in the other two, added about 1 million users, according to Inside Facebook's data service. But Facebook's slowing growth in North America raises the question of whether the site has finally found all the users it can in places where it's been around for a while.
Last month was the first time the United States had lost active users in a year, Inside Facebook said, while ups and downs have been more volatile in Canada.

Facebook reached 687 million users at the beginning of June, according to the stats. But its growth rates appear to be slowing. Facebook gained 11.8 million active montly users in May, compared to 13.9 million in April. More than 20 million users were added during every month last year.
The United Kingdom, Norway and Russia, other countries where Facebook was adapted relatively early in its existence, each dropped by about 100,000 active users in May.

"So far, Facebook has been able to make up stalls and losses with big gains in heavily-populated developing countries like Mexico, Brazil, India and Indonesia."

Moving into China would be one way to insure its goal of reaching 1 billion active users, Eldon wrote. But agreeing to the terms that likely would come from the country's Communist regime might also hurt Facebook's popularity back home.
