ReThink cyberbullying

Sounds perfect for malcontents and Messengers.

Most people in most situations could probably benefit from one tiny prompt: “Are you sure you want to do that?” Fifteen-year-old techie Trisha Prabhu says that question could be the difference between life and death.

Prabhu is the inventor of ReThink, a software program that recognizes when users enter phrases often used to cyberbully into a computer—and displays a pop-up window asking the writer to reconsider. The Chicago high school student’s own studies find that a simple prompt (“Are you sure you want to send that message?”) is enough to discourage its teen users from sending nasty missives a whopping 93 percent of the time.

A couple of years ago there was one crying wailing limpkin, now there are at least 9 on Duck Island.  Babies swim away even without webbed feet. Parent bird in tree, and fluffy limpk-ling!

Full of Flowers

Yeah! A maintenance co that does not mow the rain lilies or scalp the hibiscus when in bud :-)

Resident Pool for Guests Too

While the Guest pool is under repair everyone in the Resident pool. See notices.
