Today is International #OrangutanDay. Orangutans are natural farmers of the rainforest. They travel great distances across the landscape, consuming and dispersing different seeds as they go. In the process, they help to maintain and grow the diversity of trees in the forest, a hugely important role for this large, flagship species so well known and loved around the world. For this reason, orangutans are also an important measure of the health of an ecosystem: if a forest has orangutans, it also means it is home to many, many other species of flora and fauna!

For the last 20 years, the Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Programme, with support from national and international partners, has run vital field conservation initiatives, ranging from orangutan rescue, rehabilitation and reintroduction to the wild, biodiversity research and habitat protection. SOCP's work has resulted in tangible impacts for orangutans and their rainforest home, not least the establishment of the two new populations of reintroduced orangutans in Sumatra.

The weather has been stormy these few days, with heavy showers and lightning storms. I hope you've been staying dry! Singapore is a lightning capital of the world, but few photos have captured it as strikingly :) as this composite by Darren Soh | Photographer.

You can see from his photos that Darren has a knack for making the everyday extraordinary. He shows Singapore’s urban landscape in a fresh light. Have a look when you get the chance. Nicely done, Darren! – LHL

People usually give me this incredulous look when I tell them that Singapore has one of the highest incidents of lightning strikes in the world, but the last three nights have proven to show where that belief comes from. As for me, I've been trying to chase lightning storms in order to photograph them for years, but I've never been quite successful until tonight. For the past two nights the storm has been brewing to the South of Singapore so the light show was presented mostly to those who were on the southern coast of the island but tonight, the storm came in fast and furious from Johor and I rushed to a vantage point in Sembawang facing the Straits of Johor where I knew I would have a clear view for miles. I wasn't disappointed - this image is a layer of 12 photos made just under a hour period to show the number of big strikes.

Today, Parliament passed a motion to commemorate 200 years of the Singapore Police Force. It was to honour the contributions of the SPF in making Singapore one of the safest places in the world.

69 past and current members of the SPF family were present for the occasion. I had the pleasure of chatting with 30 retired officers (the group had to be split up because of SMM). Some had operated in a very different law and order landscape, where drugs, gangs and guns were rampant problems that had to be tackled urgently.

Things in Singapore are thankfully very different today. The SPF has played a key role in making that happen. It celebrates its bicentennial as a world-class agency capable of dealing with complex threats beyond just traditional crime. Trust between the police and public is high. Despite frequent criticism with the rise of social media, our officers are undeterred and consistently perform their duties without fear or favour.

To all police officers past and present, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your selfless duty. You are the reason we all enjoy peace and security, and we will never take this for granted. – LHL

[HOW WOULD YOU TAKE DOWN NORTH KOREA? (THE 7 CHOICES)]

If you were put in charge of one mission - to take down the North Korean regime - a mission that had previously left world leaders beaten and befuddled, where failure could result in changes to the political and physical landscape for generations to come….what would you do?

And time is of the essence here, as the longer you wait, the likelier it is for Dear Leader to complete development of nukes capable of reaching the continental US, or perhaps anywhere else in the world. Actually, according to some reports, it might already be too late!

But whether North Korea actually fires is another question altogether. If we are to rid the world of this nefarious regime - I’m talking the regime not the people - we have to consider the options. In this video, I’ll go over the seven way to take down North Korea - including the most destructive, the most convenient, the most secretive, and the most unexpected.

10 THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE HIROSHIMA ATOMIC BOMBING (& NAGASAKI)

*CORRECTION: In the video, the location of Nagasaki is off. It should be more on the left side of Kyushu island.

1) Godzilla

Godzilla, the giant Japanese dinosaur-looking monster, a worldwide pop culture icon; who’s been in numerous movies.

Why am I mentioning this? Well, Godzilla owes its existence to the atomic bombs. In the aftermath, with the devastation still fresh in the Japanese consciousness, Godzilla was created as a metaphor for nuclear weapons and their destructive capabilities.

2) The Korean Casualties

An enormous number of Koreans also perished in the blast. In fact, around 25% of casualties were Koreans. Korea was under Japanese rule at the time so there were many drafted or conscripted Koreans in Hiroshima & Nagasaki. It’s unfortunate that the Korean victims of this tragedy have often been neglected

3) Close Call Kyoto

Today’s Kyoto landscape would have been greatly altered, and not for the better, if the Americans had gone about their original plan. The targets were in fact supposed to be Hiroshima & Kyoto. However, the US Secretary of War at the time, Henry L Stimson, insisted on sparing the city

4) The Pamphlet Warnings

Just prior to dropping the Atomic bombs, the US Airforce released pamphlets or leaflets from their planes warning Japanese citizens of the impending destruction. They were largely ineffective.

5) The Little Boy & The Fat Man

These were the American codenames of the two atomic bombs.

6) The American Casualties

12 American airmen were captured, then taken to the Chugoku Military Police Headquarters in Hiroshima, where the American weapon of mass destruction indiscriminately took them out.

7) Go

An important Go tournament was held in the suburbs of Hiroshima, about 5 km from ground zero; a pivotal match up was ongoing between champion Hashimoto and the challenger Iwamoto. When the atomic bomb went off, people were injured, buildings were damaged, and the game came to an immediate halt. Fortunately no one died as tournament officials had earlier moved the game away from the blast radius after coming across the American pamphlets.

The players took this opportunity to have a quick lunch break. Afterwards on the same day, they finished the game. White won.

8) Operation Meetinghouse

As devastating as the atomic bombs were, it didn’t even rank as the most destructive bombing event of WW2. That title goes to the deathly firebombing of Tokyo by the US Air Force, also known as Operation Meetinghouse. This was estimated to be the single most destructive bombing attack not just in Japan, but in history.

9) The Flame Of Peace

The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park was built in dedication to the legacy of Hiroshima as the first city in the world to suffer a nuclear attack. In the park, sits The Flame of Peace which has burned continuously since 1964, and will remain lit until all nuclear weapons are removed from the world and the planet is free from nuclear threat.

10) The Improbable Survivor

Tsutomu Yamaguchi worked for the Mitsubishi company, and on August 6th, 1945, he was away from home on a business trip in Hiroshima.

He witnessed the Little Boy dropping from the sky and the explosion ruptured his eardrums, blinded him, and left him with serious burns. But he was alive.

The very next day, he dragged his body to a station, made his way out of Hiroshima and back to his hometown. At home, he finally received treatment for his wounds.

Two days later, despite being seriously injured and heavily bandaged, he informed Mitsubishi that he was back from his Hiroshima business trip and ready to report to work. So, he went to work, as if nothing major had happened.

Yamaguchi was lucky to have survived the Hiroshima Atomic Bomb. However, he was unlucky that he went back home..

..to Nagasaki..
