    <body>&lt;h2 id="subHead"&gt;New species are born in the turbulence of the Congo River&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ul id="byLine"&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ned Gardiner, a scientist who specializes in mapping ecosystems, is
fiddling with an instrument floating over the side of our wooden
pirogue when the boat emerges from an eddy into the main stream of the
Congo River. The transition from the still water to the turbulent flow
swings the bow downstream and nearly knocks Gardiner into the water.
&amp;ldquo;Almost fell into the drink, eh?&amp;rdquo; he says with a laugh, though he knows
a swim here could be dangerous, even deadly. The Congo is flowing at
1.25 million cubic feet of water per second, enough to fill 13
Olympic-size swimming pools every second. Gardiner, who works for the
National Climatic Data Center, in Ashville, North Carolina, is here
because he thinks the Lower Congo may contain the deepest point of any
river in the world.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We&amp;rsquo;re in Central Africa, 90 miles west of the Democratic Republic of
Congo&amp;rsquo;s capital of Kinshasa and about 100 miles east of where the river
drains into the Atlantic Ocean, ending its 3,000-mile run across
equatorial Africa. A series of grassy hills called the Crystal
Mountains rise subtly behind us. Gardiner and John Shelton, a
hydrologist from the United States Geologic Survey, are plotting how
water moves in such a massive flow. To do this, they brought along an
instrument that floats alongside a boat in an orange, plastic vessel
about the size of an elementary-school desk. The instrument maps water
movement and measures the river&amp;rsquo;s depth. Gardiner tried to accomplish
the same thing last year with a device designed for rivers. &amp;ldquo;The signal
petered out well before the bottom,&amp;rdquo; he explains, his hand skimming the
river&amp;rsquo;s surface. &amp;ldquo;So we bought one for oceans.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We&amp;rsquo;re midstream, heading from the north bank to the south, on a
course directly perpendicular to the current. If we manage to keep the
instrument from being swallowed by one of the 40-foot-wide whirlpools
studding the flow, Shelton and Gardiner&amp;rsquo;s work will produce a digital
cross section of the river&amp;rsquo;s currents and depth.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Congo&amp;rsquo;s power&amp;mdash;its depth, speed and turbulence&amp;mdash;is of particular
interest to ichthyologist Melanie Stiassny of the American Museum of
Natural History, one of the scientists in our expedition. She studies
fish on the lower Congo and over the past decade has discovered six new
species (she&amp;rsquo;s working on identifying three more). The number of
species known to live in the lower Congo now exceeds 300 and the river
contains one of the highest concentrations of "endemism," or species
found nowhere else in the world. Stiassny thinks the river&amp;rsquo;s power is
shaping evolution in the Congo.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;New species evolve when some geographic barrier&amp;mdash;a mountain range, an
ocean, a glacier&amp;mdash;divides a population. Animals on one side of the
barrier can no longer breed with animals on the other. Each group
adapts to its habitat and, over time, their genes change enough to
constitute separate species. This idea dates back to Darwin&amp;rsquo;s &lt;em&gt;Origin of Species&lt;/em&gt;,
published in November 1859. Stiassny and her colleagues were the first
to suggest that there could be barriers within freshwater. Water, after
all, is permeable for fish, right?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In 2002, Stiassny and ichthyologist Robert Schelly observed fish
that suggested otherwise. They found cichlids, a freshwater fish known
to evolve quickly in new environments, on one side of the Congo that
were genetically distinct from similar-looking cichlids on the opposite
bank. Exceptionally strong currents divided the populations. Though the
river was only a mile wide, the habitats were isolated just as if a
mountain range had risen between them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We dock the pirogue on a sandbar. A crowd of locals is thronging
around Stiassny. She&amp;rsquo;s holding a mole-like fish that&amp;rsquo;s tiny, blind and
to be frank, extremely ugly. Since we arrived in the DRC two weeks ago,
Stiassny has been hoping to see this fish.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Mondeli bureau,&amp;rdquo; says the fisherman who brought it to her, pointing
to the fish. Stiassny smiles. The name translates as &amp;ldquo;white man in an
office&amp;rdquo; and plays on the locals&amp;rsquo; vision of a computer-bound Westerner:
blind, albino, stunted.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Stiassny found a similar specimen covered in gas bubbles during a
collecting expedition in 2007. It had suffered from rapid decompression
syndrome, or the bends. The apparent cause of death&amp;mdash;and the fact that
it had no eyes&amp;mdash;suggested the fish had evolved in a habitat too deep for
light to penetrate.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Thank you,&amp;rdquo; Stiassny says. &amp;ldquo;What a beautiful specimen.&amp;rdquo; She lays
the fish beside dozens of other specimens on a clear tarp. A graduate
student is labeling the samples and storing them in formaldehyde-filled
50-gallon drums to be flown back to New York for genetic testing. The
specimens include a 12-pound, prehistoric-looking catfish, its gills
still flapping. There are tiny, oval-shaped cichlids colored like the
silt, and an eel-like fish that Stiassny thinks may be a new species.
The most interesting to me are a half a dozen foot-long fish with long,
cylindrical snouts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div id="TixyyLink" style="border: medium none; overflow: hidden; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;These are elephant fish,&amp;rdquo; Stiassny says. &amp;ldquo;Their jaws are at the end of their snouts so they can pick food from the gravel.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The evolutionary adaptations are apparent. Each individual was
caught in a different location, and each snout is specialized to the
character of the river floor in which it fed. Long and thin snouts
allow fish to probe for food in deep and small-grained gravel; short
and fat snouts allow them to feed on algae-caked bedrock. &amp;ldquo;Darwin&amp;rsquo;s
fishes,&amp;rdquo; Stiassny says.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A series of mud-colored minnows caught in different locations that
look identical to me excite Stiassny. &amp;ldquo;That&amp;rsquo;s really where we see
evolution in action,&amp;rdquo; Stiassny says. &amp;ldquo;In 50 or 100 years, the fish that
look the same today may well look different. We can see the start of
that genetic drift.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That night, Gardiner plugs a data card in his laptop. Winged insects
flock to the glowing screen, their buzzing mostly drowned out by the
steady drone of the river and the occasional whoosh of its surge
breaking on the beach. The computer hums while processing data.
Eventually Gardiner pulls up a graph profiling the river&amp;rsquo;s bed. It
looks like a U&amp;mdash;as smooth as a mountain valley carved by a glacier. The
current just beneath the surface is traveling at 30 miles per hour, and
the channel is 640 feet deep.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;That&amp;rsquo;s the deepest point measured on a river in the world,&amp;rdquo; Gardiner says.  &amp;ldquo;There&amp;rsquo;s no question about that.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Shelton is peering over Gardiner&amp;rsquo;s shoulder, shaking his head and
deciphering blue and red lines on the computer screen that represent
water movement and velocity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Just like we thought,&amp;rdquo; he says. &amp;ldquo;Fabulous stuff.&amp;rdquo; He nudges a moth
off the screen and points to a place in the riverbed where a long blue
line indicates the current dropping vertically from a ledge into the
canyon&amp;rsquo;s trough.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;It&amp;rsquo;s an underwater waterfall,&amp;rdquo; he says, slapping Gardiner&amp;rsquo;s
shoulder. It&amp;rsquo;s falling at 40 feet per second. Upstream of the waterfall
is an eddy, the water relatively still. This point is likely habitat
for the blind cichlid: calm pockets where sheering currents have
trapped the fish at great depths. Deep-river specimens, like the one
found today, surface only when the river surges and flushes individuals
into the harsh environment of the main flow. In terms of Stiassny&amp;rsquo;s
hypothesis, the finding suggests that the Congo&amp;rsquo;s currents partition
habitat from side to side and from top to bottom&amp;mdash;just like a mountain
range.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;It shows water can be an evolutionary barrier, even for fish,&amp;rdquo; Gardiner says.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Isn't a pass in english all that is needed for most such
courses?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Actually before really going to start a career in social
service, i would advice u to consider starting 1st as a volunteer
for a period of time and ensure that is really your interest before
you consider making it ur career.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As a volunteer myself, i've seen many people who initially had
alot of passion and interest but somehow things don't seem to turn
out as what they were expecting and they slowly loss passion and
interest to quit in the end.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Its best to have some experience, know that its really what you
want before you go invest in time and money for a proper course
since its too late to regret after you have obtained your cert.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Indeed, it's stated on the site that the minimum requirement for entry to social degree courses on english language is a pass. Even though it's stated plainly, I do enjoy overcoming the limits of my own ability, and also intend to head to the States to obtain an LCSW license to work there, if everything works out as planned. Afterall, that's where the main branch of social work started. So, it's really a marathon towards english competency in the short-term and long-term.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Truth be told, the lofty aspirations in my mind need to be brought down to the practical reality of the world. I've not volunteer in any professional organisations, though I do enjoy conversing with young children and elderly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I agreed a voluntary session would help anyone seeking a long-term career in the social service to re-adjust one's expectations, re-align one's proper vision, and review the decision before it's being cast in stone. So, dckx, where do you actually volunteer? Care to share some info?&lt;/p&gt;</body>

    <body>&lt;p&gt;First thing that you should ask yourself is, what is your ambition in life? What do you have most passion for? What is the future job that you can envision yourself in next time? With that said &amp;amp; done, you work towards that goal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And seriously, I don't see what is up with the stupid JC vs Poly debate. As everyone has said, there are its own pros &amp;amp; cons. And don't go to a JC for the sake of recognition, easier entry to Uni or whatever hoohah reason. Just do what you want to do.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My own personal experience is that I took the JC route, screwed up my A levels. But managed to enter engineering in NTU. And honestly speaking, I'm still wondering if this is my cup of&amp;nbsp;tea.&amp;nbsp;I'm struggling now as I find it hard to catch up with Uni life after a 2 years break&amp;nbsp;due to&amp;nbsp;NS and the accelerated pace of Uni life. Same for my poly friends and other JC friends. We are&amp;nbsp;all trying to find our way around in this 1st year. So ultimately when you hit Uni, everyone is on the same equal plane. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;We just find a way to survive!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;But in the end, you must have a passion for what you want to do. And even if you realise that you have made&amp;nbsp;the wrong choice, you can always switch. There is never&amp;nbsp;an end&amp;nbsp;to the road for you.&lt;/p&gt;</body>
