Spring returns and with it the birds. But it also brings throngs of birders who emerge, binoculars in hand, to catch a glimpse of a rare or previously unseen species or to simply lay eyes on a particularly fine specimen of a familiar type. In a delightful meditation that unexpectedly ranges from the Volga Delta to Central Park and from Charles Dickens's Hard Times to a 1940s London burlesque show, Jeremy Mynott ponders what makes birds so beautiful and alluring to so many people.

To enjoy the scarlet berries on most Japanese laurels, you need a female plant and a male plant to pollinate its flowers. Not so with 'Rozannie', which doesn't need a male. And it's also a tough evergreen that, at around 2m tall, never gets too large. There's a hardy geranium for most situations, and for dry shade G. x cantabrigiense has the tolerance we need. Paler forms show up best: try the pink-tinted 'Biokovo' with its exceptional, reddish-orange autumn leaf colour. Height 25cm. Captions: Super dry (clockwise from left): Aucuba japonica 'Rozannie', mahonia, epimediums, Narcissus '[Jack Snipe]' and Euonymus 'Silver Queen' brighten shade

Spontaneity is the key. Sort of a drug-inspired cross between Don Ho (he's half Cherokee, half Hawaiian) and Meat Loaf (he's 6-foot-6 and weighs \"in excess of 300 pounds\"), Snipes blends lots of good old rock 'n' roll, a comforting dose of country and a few gentle ballads with a sense of humor that jolts like a cattle prod. Part of the spontaneity is that the regulars in his audience pitch in with him on stage, creating a sort of piano-bar atmosphere. Helping out officially are Dave Patterson, Snipes' \"personal guitar player\" of 10 years, and Randy Rich, his drummer. As a trio, their music is as good as the best around. But Snipes' showmanship puts the band into its own category.

Sam Sackaroff, 81, is all for computers -- especially since they are supposed to make life much simpler. But after trying for nearly two weeks to get through jammed computerized Medicare telephone lines, Sackaroff is sick of modern technology.

Security, likewise, started with intrepid explorers figuring out what computers and systems were capable of, not designed to do and moved into big business. [...]we use technologies such as Kali Linux, Raspberry Pi, Arduino and the numerous open source technologies to further explore in many ways, while there are multiple billion-dollar companies that also handle security. The current transition and handoff to the next generation of security leaders will lead to the combination of the old-school explorers, people who learned on the job or in the armed services and people who went to school for security to build our future.

Love him or hate him, Steve's brute determination in getting a second chance is exactly what it takes to make it in Hollywood and worthy of help from the industry.\" For more information, visit Send2Press Newswire at https://www.Send2Press.com To view the original version on PR Newswire, visit:http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/convicted-actor-steve-comisar-nears-one-million-twitter-followers-while-in-prison-300415697.html SOURCE Steve Comisar...
