Welcome to the Garuda Aviary / Sanctuary for Birds (308 words) |
 | Garuda Aviary is a nonprofit, exotic bird rescue operation dedicated to providing lifelong sanctuary for abused and neglected companion birds. |
 | The Aviary was founded on the principle that the power of compassion is limitless and that life takes on meaning only to the degree to which we can bring love into the lives of others. |
 | In order to prevent future abuse, we also help educate the public about the huge commitment and responsibility involved in taking exotic birds into one's care, as well as the tragic effects of the illicit bird trade. |

AVIARY (636 words) |
 | AVIARY is a high level generic multi-user Virtual Environment developed by Dave Snowdon as part of his Ph.D. work at the University of Manchester. |
 | AVIARY is designed to be able to exploit available parallelism either on a multi-processor or a distributed system. |
 | One of the applications currently implemented using AVIARY is an experimental display for Air Traffic Control (ATC) in which aircraft are displayed in 3D space with the option of showing a `flight tube' encompassing the volume of space the aircraft will fly through a specified time into the future. |
