The children in my Kindergarten class investigate whether we should have a class pet after a proposal from one of the children,
Should we get a class pet?
“A pet is an animal you want to keep forever. If you use toys to be a pet they will never ever die because you can sew them back together. If you get a real pet and keep it in the classroom, it’s called a class pet. A living thing and a not living thing because small animals die easily. You have to feed her and care for her. I know a lot about pets.”
Functional programming is all the rage. It can undoubtedly produce cleaner and more expressive code, but why switch to Scala or wait for Java 8? In fact, there are many ways to dramatically improve your Java code quality by using a more functional style today. This presentation discusses how techniques such as functional programming, using fluent APIs, and other clean coding practices can make your code more concise, more readable, and much easier to maintain. But more importantly, you will learn about libraries such as LambdaJ and Google Guava that make this possible today with your existing Java code base.

New tools for monitoring biodiversity and environmentsEdward Baker
How do we do science when the computer of 15 years ago now fits in your pocket and costs less than the battery you need to run it? Should biodiversity scientists work with the hacker and maker community? Should we forge links with engineering departments? Should hardware become a standard tool of the biodiversity informatician?

The Fascinating World of Bats: Unveiling the Secrets of the Night
Bats, the mysterious creatures of the night, have long been a source of fascination and fear for humans. With their eerie squeaks and fluttering wings, they have captured our imagination and sparked our curiosity. Yet, beyond the myths and legends, bats are fascinating creatures that play a vital role in our ecosystem.
There are over 1,300 species of bats, ranging from the tiny Kitti's hog-nosed bat to the majestic flying foxes. These winged mammals are found in almost every corner of the globe, from the scorching deserts to the lush rainforests. Their diversity is a testament to their adaptability and resilience.
Bats are insectivores, feeding on a vast array of insects, from mosquitoes to beetles. A single bat can consume up to 1,200 insects in an hour, making them a crucial part of our pest control system. By preying on insects that damage crops, bats save the agricultural industry billions of dollars each year.
But bats are not just useful; they are also fascinating creatures. Their ability to fly in complete darkness, using echolocation to navigate and hunt, is a remarkable feat of evolution. They are also social animals, living in colonies and communicating with each other through a complex system of calls and body language.
Despite their importance, bats face numerous threats, from habitat destruction to climate change. Many species are endangered, and conservation efforts are necessary to protect these magnificent creatures.
In conclusion, bats are more than just creatures of the night; they are a vital part of our ecosystem, playing a crucial role in maintaining the balance of nature. By learning more about these fascinating animals, we can appreciate their importance and work to protect them for generations to come. So, let us embrace the beauty and mystery of bats, and celebrate their unique place in our world.
