There are many facets to a comprehensive turf care program,
These 4 parts of proper lawn care maintenance can do a great deal to improve the quality of your grass.
But.... drum roll!!!
Proper mowing practices are perhaps the most effective techniques that are easily within your control to promote healthy turf.
There are many varieties of turf, if you live in the Atlanta Georgia area, fescue and Bermuda turf will be predominant, and if you live in St. Petersburg Florida, then St Augustine turf will be predominant.
But, regardless of where you live the best mowing practices are largely the same.
Mowing it too short can create severe stress on the lawn, causing it to burn out, while creating an environment favorable for weeds to move in.
Cut it too tall, and the grass will look lain-over and unsightly.
Tall Fescue turf should be mowed at a height of 3.5" to 4" tall. Additionally, it's crucial to mow the lawn as frequently as needed typically every 7-10 days.
And remember, it's never healthy for the turf if you cut more than 1/3 of the grass height at a time.
Keep your lawn mower blade sharp; a good rule of thumb is to sharpen your blades every 3 months if your lawn is ½ acre or less in size.
Mowing with dull blades will rip the grass blades making them susceptible to disease and insect feeding.
Changing the pattern you take each time you mow is optimal.
Whether you are using a push mower or riding mower, the wheels can leave tracks; and when you take the same path each time you mow, you will wear in tracks into the lawn.
A simple solution is to alternate directions:
For grasses in most regions, bagging in the spring and fall is optimal.
This reduces thatch and leaves an overall neater appearance. This requires a bit more work. As bagging and clippings and disposal takes additional time. However, it will yield a better result.
During the summer months when tall fescue turf is not growing as vigorously, mulching and/or discharging the grass will be sufficient. But here's the deal, you may have to make additional passes to evenly distribute clippings for a neat appearance. Over-mulching of clippings while the Tall Fescue turf is growing strong in the spring and fall will be counter-productive. This will cause the thatch build up can choke out the healthy turf. And can also impede new seed germination in the fall.
If you are using a professional service. You will want to observe, and direct how they are mowing each week. Many services do not automatically perform best practices for mowing. And perhaps, make sure you confirm how often they are sharpening their blades.
Though Bermuda and Zoysia grass also grow in the upper southeast, however, are not as popular due to fact that they go dormant each year around mid-fall and remain unattractive and dormant until May. Cool season turfs such as Tall Fescue require more diligent care than warmer season turfs such as Bermuda and Zoysia. However, Tall Fescue, and similar turfs, have a lush green appearance more months out of the year. So the additional investment of care is worth it for many homeowners who love a thick beautiful lawn.

A technique for obtaining estimates of the direct damping and inertial coefficients of a squeeze-film bearing is described. This involves applying parametric identification and optimization techniques to digitized, free-decay experimental displacement records. The experimentally obtained coefficients, derived by this technique, were found to be significantly higher in magnitude (in some cases by a factor of about 10) than the corresponding values derived from conventional short-bearing theory, and to be virtually independent of the frequency of vibration.

A British medical TV series claims re-heated pasta is much healthier!
According to the Independent Online, British TV series 'Trust me, I'm a Doctor' has claimed that they have discovered the process of re-heating pasta reduces the rise in blood glucose making the carbohydrate much healthier. When people eat a food containing carbohydrates, the digestive system breaks down the digestible ones into sugar, which enters the blood. In response, the body releases a rush of the hormone insulin in order to get the blood glucose levels back down. If you are insulin resistant or carb-resistant then this is where the problems start with weight gain and general health as the more insulin resistant you are, the more fat you store.The TV series has claimed that cooking pasta, then allowing it to cool down and heating it again transforms it into a "resistant starch" instead of a sugar because it becomes resistant to the normal enzymes in the gut that break down carbohydrates. So rather than heighten the body's blood-glucose level, re-heated pasta could actually reduce it.Well this would be fantastic news indeed for carb-conscious dieters who find it hard to give up their beloved pasta. According to The Independent: The BBC show demonstrated that cooking, cooling and then reheating pasta, turning it into 'resistant starch', reduced the rise in volunteers' blood glucose by 50 per cent.We don't suggest that you rush out and buy trays of lasagne to re-heat until further scientific proof backs up the claims of the TV show - but certainly do read the article posted on the Independent to read more about the method of discovery that led to these claims. According to the article the research was conducted under the guidance of Dr Denise Robertson, a senior nutrition scientists from the University of Surrey, who is confident it is robust science – despite the small sample size.Dr Robertson will continue the research with funding from Diabetes UK.What advocators of the Banting LCHF diet would make of these claims will be interesting to note - but pasta lovers watch this space!If you are a fan of pasta you can check out our pasta hub full of delicious recipes.

Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (A)
(1) Study on Transition Metal-Phosphenium Complexes.A new synthetic route to phosphenium complexes was developed treating with a Lewis acid a group 6 transition metal complex having a diamino-substituted phosphite as a ligand. A double bond character in the resulting P-M linkage was estimated on the basis of the reactivities, various spectroscopic data, substituent effect on the stability, and X-ray structures of the metal-phosphenium complexes thus obtained.The corresponding complexes of iron (group 8) undergo similar but interesting reaction witha Lewis acid. That is, when the 14 group element ligand ER_3 coordinated to the iron atom is an alkyl group, it readily migrates to the phosphenium ligand, while such migration does not take place and the phosphenium complex is isolable when the ER_3 group is a silyl or germyl group. On the other hand, a stannylene complex is obtained for ER_3 being a stannyl group, where the alkyl group on the Sn atom but not the stannyl group itself migrates to the phosphenium ligand.(2) Study on Phosphorane Complexes.The iron complex having a triphenylphosphite is converted into the iron-phosphorane complex by the reaction with some Lewis bases, where the valency of the P atom is expanded to five. On the basis of its spectroscopic data and X-ray structures, it is claimed that the iron fragment acts as a pi-electron donor to the hhypervalent P atom. The pseudorotation characteristic of these compounds is also examined by variable temperature NMR.(3) Study on Phosphamacrocycle Complexes.Pd and Pt complexes with 14- and 16-membered phosphamacocyclic lignads were prepared by utilizing the template reaction. X-ray structures of these complexes revealed that the hole of the 14-membered phosphamacocyclic ligands is not sufficiently large to form less-constrained metal complexes.

The British and Irish Lions is one of rugby union's great institutions. It's an amateur concept in a now professional sport. Its bringing together of Scots, English, Welsh and Irish under one banner and in one jersey continues to resonate for rugby union fans everywhere.
Since as far back as 1888, a single team representing all of the four 'Home Nations', England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland, has set out from these shores to take on the best of the Southern Hemisphere. Whether travelling to New Zealand, South Africa or Australia, the tour has created some of the most iconic rugby union memories in history.
From Many Comes One Team
What makes the concept such an enduringly appealing example of the many rugby sports tours that have taken place in history is its romance. The four Home Nations are bitter rivals on the rugby field. The annual Six Nations clashes between England and the Celtic nations are hard fought encounters, drawing on centuries of historical rivalry to fuel titanic matches.
When it comes to the rugby Lions, though, all that animosity is set aside and a common purpose is forged. This makes for memories of eagerly anticipated and infrequently held clashes between the Lions and a host of Southern Hemisphere teams. It also creates great memories of camaraderie for players and fans. When it comes to rugby, Lions tours seem to conjure up that special spirit of the past when the game was not just about winning.
The Power of Memories
What the Lions team also does for fans of the Home Nations is to boost the chances of teams from these shores taking on the Southern Hemisphere's greatest teams and winning a test series. Whilst Northern Hemisphere rugby union is much more powerful than it was for much of the 20th century, winning in countries like New Zealand and South Africa is still a massive challenge for players from these shores. With the Lions though, players come together to form a more formidable whole that can put the hosts under real pressure.
This has created some of the most potent memories in British and Irish sport. Rugby union fans still talk fondly of Willie John McBride's tour party to South Africa in 1974. Whilst the 1983 tour to New Zealand was not successful in playing terms, Roger Baird's leaping try in the mud of the test series will be remembered by Scotland supporters. Baird, after all, never scored a try for Scotland, despite winning 27 caps for the boys in dark blue.
Rugby union fans of a more recent vintage will have their own scintillating memories of the 1997 excursion to South Africa. Some will have a particular fondness for the try that Ieuan Evans scored to seal the 1989 test series in Australia. Aussie legend, David Campese is probably still blushing about the mess he made of gathering the bouncing ball that Evans scored from.
The Lions offers something different for sports fans and any lover of rugby union should think long and hard abut accompanying the team on tour. The investment in memories will be sure to pay off for years to come.
Anthony Vickers has been watching international rugby union since growing up in Cardiff as a boy. Whilst watching the great Welsh sides of the 1970s really fired his passion for the sport, the Lions tours of that era also remained long in his memory, especially Willie John McBride's 1974 party to South Africa. He now writes about rugby and travel matters for a range of blogs and websites.

Well, I don't know if it was truly her best week ever, but I just like that title after that old show in VH1 that I used to like so much. But she did have an exciting week.
1. On Thursday, Piper had her semi-annual dental checkup. This was only her second visit since the first one was as a result of her breaking her tooth back in May. At that visit, since she was under 2, they just did a quick check without any tools or anything, but this time they did an actual visit. Piper was the perfect patient. She got in the chair without problems. She laid back and let the hygienist check and brush her teeth without issue. And she let the dentist take her look too. In fact, she was doing so well that the dentist suggested we try and get an x-ray of her broken tooth just to see what was going on under the surface. She normally wouldn't have even attempted it but thought Piper seemed like she might tolerate it - and she did! I couldn't believe how she followed directions, sat still under the lead apron, and bit the dental film. I was so very proud! She earned herself a princess crown and a bunch of stickers. Granted, this is a great pediatric dental office and they are good with kids, but I'm still very proud of how well my 2 year old did!
2. On Friday evening, neither Jason nor I were very hungry for dinner (he'd had a big lunch and I was under the influence of Sudafed for my cold and had no appetite). So we just fixed the kids one of their fav meals - chicken nuggets, macaroni and cheese, and edamame. We got them seated and then the 2 of us stood on the other side of the kitchen enjoying the peace and talking. Just after they sat down, Piper pointed to her nose and Jason went over and wiped it. Then a few minute later, she did it again and I went over and did it but I noticed there was no snot. I thought I saw a big boogie hanging out of her nose and went to try and get it when I noticed that the boogie looked a LOT like the end of a piece of macaroni. Ah! She had stuffed a macaroni up her nose and only the very end could be seen! I didn't freak out but sent Jason up to get the tweezers while I stayed with her and made sure she didn't push it up there further. I knew it would be a delicate operation since cooked macaroni is pretty soft. Thankfully, Piper didn't see the least bit bothered and sat still while Jason held her head and I performed surgery. After a little bit of fishing, I pulled the entire 3/4 inch piece of macaroni out of her nose - it seemed really long!!! I figured I was done but as soon as I set the tweezers down she motioned to her nose again. Um, really, Piper??? I looked up the other nostril and I could just barely see a macaroni. It was up there further. I had her try to snuff it out and thankfully just a little bit of sniffing pushed it down far enough for me to get a better look. This was a little more difficult as I couldn't get a hold of it and it kept getting mushy when I'd grab it. But finally, I got a good hold on it and out it came! Again, it seemed pretty long coming out of her little nose!! Piper was completely unphased but Caroline and Bryce were a little shell shocked. None of us can believe that none of us saw her do it. There was something satisfying about pulling them out myself - I don't know why. Gross, I know. Maybe I should have been a surgeon. We kept asking her all evening if she was supposed to put things up her nose and she usually answered "yesh." Sigh. This could be a long toddlerhood!!
3. Saturday evening Caroline and Bryce were invited to a bounce party and Piper was invited along. This was Piper's first bounce party and she had a ball. Everyone commented on how brave she was. I kept telling them she doesn't know she's 2. She bound into every single bounce house without fear. I had to follow her on the obstacle courses because there were a few climbing walls that were a little too much for her, but amazed me on the few she was able to climb on her own!! And then when bouncing was over, she went into that party room like she was one of the big kids. She sat down, ate her pizza, put on her party hat and joined into the conversation all the kids were having about "Old MacDonald having a farm with poop." She'd laugh at all the hijinks and add a random "POOP!" into the conversation and dissolve into giggles with the rest of the kids. I love just watching her socialize - I can't imagine what she'd be saying if she was a better conversationalist.
So what's next for Piper? Who knows, but I'm sure it will continue to be fun to watch.

Colloidal preparation of functional nanoparticles and applications
Teo, Wee Siang
Date of Issue2016
School of Materials Science and Engineering
Well-defined functional nanostructures are of fundamental importance in the advancement of nanoscience and nanotechnology. In this project, monodisperse ruthenium nanoparticles were synthesized using colloidal synthesis approach and its size and morphology were studied in electrochemical water splitting. Various parameters such as synthetic time, temperature and stabilizers were tuned and the resulting nanoparticles were optimized for enhanced electrocatalytic performance. In addition, the effects of annealing temperature on thin films of ruthenium nanoparticles was studied. Thin films deposited on FTO substrates were annealed at 150 °C -700 ° C under argon atmosphere and subsequently characterized by SEM, TEM imaging, XRD analysis and LSV. In all, monodispersed ruthenium nanoparticles were synthesized by a facile method using oleylamine reduction and small amount of ruthenium nanoparticles in thin films effectively catalyzed electrochemical water splitting reactions, in particular, the amorphous ruthenium nanoparticle thin film exhibited optimal electrocatalytic performances.

Shirataki noodles originated in Japan and are thin, translucent and gelatinous types of noodles. They are traditional Japanese noodles and are produced from the elephant yam or the konjac yam. We'll talk more about these noodles.
The Japanese word shirataki means white waterfall. This is an apt description of the appearance of these noodles. The noodles are composed largely of water and gluconmanna which is a water soluble dietary fiber. The noodle itself has little flavor of its own but it can be greatly enhanced depending on how it is used.
View a huge range of shirataki noodles online here…
The shirataki noodles can be obtained in both dry and wet forms in many Asian markets and some supermarkets. When they are purchased wet, they come prepackaged in liquid. Their shelf life is normally about one year.
The noodles can also be drained and dry roasted. This helps to get rid of some of the bitterness and gives them a more pasta like consistency.
There are two types of shirataki noodles sold in the US. The traditional type has no net carbohydrates, no food energy and no gluten. They are useful for people on low carbohydrate diets. Tofu based shirataki noodles have become more popular but they have a much shorter shelf life and require refrigeration before and after opening. These tofu based noodles have a minimum amount of carbohydrates.
These noodles are used in a wide variety of dishes and are a staple throughout Japan and in many other places in the world. They can be added to soup stock to bring more texture and taste or they can be eaten with a sauce.

My husband says funny things. Funny things that often become even funnier in the voiceless environment of e-mails sent amidst the chaos of deployment on an aircraft carrier. In my Quotes from the Boat series, I'll be sharing select gems plucked straight from my e-mail correspondence with the king of the cruise himself. From funny, to touching, to just plain weird, these are Jason's musings from aboard the "big metal city."Man, I could really go for a beer.
It's too bad that I forgot my calculator.
Good job on your homework!
I love it when he sits next to us on the couch!
The AC on the boat isn't too overbearing.
Very poor planning was obviously involved.
I bet the bus will be tiny too. That way there we can all squeeze in it with our huge bags and annoy each other.
These racks don't exactly do wonders for your back.
Jason has now been home for a few days, and returned to work today. At lunchtime he told me that a coworker commented that he looks older. I don't know about that, but transitioning from boat brain to home brain is always an adjustment, so I was glad that we had the long weekend to spend together before he had to launch back into his regular schedule.
Quotes from the Boat will return in a couple of months when Jason goes back out to sea. In the meantime, I'm sure he'll pepper us with plenty of pithy punchlines from right here on shore.

LONDON (Reuters) - Rain completely washed out the first day of the second test between England and India at Lord's on Thursday.
England lead the series 1-0 after a thrilling 31-run victory at Edgbaston.
Steady rain forced the covers to be on all day and although a spell of dry weather in mid-afternoon raised hopes of some play, the bad weather returned to ensure a frustrating day for both teams.
There has been no toss and neither side has named a team.
Twenty-year-old batsman Ollie Pope is expected to be given his England debut at number four after replacing Dawid Malan in the squad.
Thursday was the first time a full day's play has been lost at Lord's since the opening day of the first test against Pakistan in 2001.

Gloucestershire XI
Edited by:N. M. Herbert
First Published:1 January, 1979
The volume covers the 18 parishes of the Cotswold hundreds of Bisley and Longtree and includes the market towns of Stroud, Tetbury, Painswick, and Minchinhampton. In the deep valleys centred on Stroud the cloth industry was the shaping force, adding interest and complexity to the story of even the smaller parishes like Rodborough and Woodchester. There, where the cloth-mills clustered thickly along the valleys, a closely knit society of clothier families played the leading role while humbler cloth-workers swelled the population, establishing new villages around the commons of Bisley and Minchinhampton and elsewhere in the area. In the early 19th century the factory system concentrated the cloth industry in fewer and larger mills but new industries like iron--founding, stick-making, and silk-throwing moved in, and local industry continued to expand and diversify in the 20th century. Painswick and Minchinhampton, medieval market towns, were eventually outstripped by the newer town of Stroud which ex-panded considerably in the 19thcentury under the influence of the railway and a new system of turnpike roads built along the valleys. The nonconformist churches, par-ticularly at Nailsworth, were important, and in the 19th century Woodchester became a centre of Roman Catholicism and Bisley a stronghold of the Oxford Movement. Outside the valleys the two hundreds took in a less populous area of high, arid downland where, in parishes like Horsley and Rod-marton, monastic owners once farmed sheep on a considerable scale and landowning families like the Ducies, Estcourts, Coxes, and Stephenses long remained dominant. Tetbury, made a borough about 1200, later derived prosperity from its wool-market and wool-stapling industry and, like Painswick, survives as a fine example of the Cotswold stone-built town. Altogether the area has a rich variety of domestic architecture, in-cluding ancient manor-houses like Daneway and Chavenage, the numerous 17th- and 18th-century houses of the clothiers, two notable Victorian mansions at Westonbirt and Woodchester, and the early-20th-cen-tury Rodmarton Manor built by members of the Arts and Crafts group who settled at Sapperton.

Pat Blair is currently serving as the Chief Calligrapher at the White House in Washington, D.C. The calligraphers are responsible for menu and invitation design for official and social presidential events, inscribing the guest book for visiting heads of state, certificate and resolution design as well as production of programs and tour books. She served two years as the President of the Washington Calligrapher's Guild in Washington, DC., was the chairperson of the Graceful Envelope contest sponsored by the US Postal Service, and served as co-director for the International Lettering Conference, Letterforum.
Her work has been published in the Calligrapher's Engagement Calendar, Letter Arts Review, Tabellae Insatae, and Martha Stewart Weddings. She teaches at the Loudoun Academy of the Arts, and has been on the faculty of eight International Calligraphy Conferences.
Pat's love of pointed pen lettering led her to her study of Copperplate and Spencerian letterforms. Her workshops emphasize the grace and elegance that these letterforms can achieve by paying close attention to the beauty of the form. She has been awarded the title Master Penman by the International Association of Master Penmen, Engrossers and Teachers of Handwriting for her work in this area.
Class Description
In this workshop, we take an intense look at the copperplate form to discover what it is that makes these letters sing and dance. Designed for those students who have a basic knowledge of the copperplate form, or have had experience with more informal scripts and wish to strengthen their skill and knowledge of this classic pointed pen lettering, we will start with the basic shaded stroke, practicing the gradual pressure and shaping which gives the lettering its distinctive look.
A study of spacing and letter connections will follow. We will refine the forms to achieve a beautiful grace and elegance, learning that subtle changes can give very dramatic results. Advanced forms of capital letters will offer many options as we experiment with composition.
Rounding out the class will be a study of flourishing and how thoughtfully designed strokes can add to the beauty of our lettering. We will study techniques of layout and design which enhance the lightness and grace of this beautiful letter form.

eSports betting platform Unikrn couldn't have asked for a better start to the year, following news that two more cryptocurrency exchanges have listed its widely popular digital token, the UnikoinGold (UKG).
In a blog post, the eSports betting company announced that UnikoinGold will start trading on cryptocurrency exchange OKex on Thursday, "signifying the continued widening of UKG's reach to fans and users worldwide."
Unikrn said the exchange, which has a strong presence in Asia, will help in expanding the company's reach to users anywhere in the world. CEO Rahul Sood said eSports and video games have completely blown up, and Unikrn customers are now using their Unikoins in over 100 countries.
"Across Asia, Europe and North America, interested users now have the best options available in their regions to access UnikoinGold," said Sood. "Our team takes pride in working alongside exchanges we've vetted, and OKex is clearly among the best in the world."
OKex is the latest trading platform to list the eSports betting-dedicated token. Sood revealed just before the New Year that UnikoinGold has been added to Bittrex, "the fastest and most secure digital currency trading platform in the world." UnikoinGold is also listed on both CoinHub and Braveno.
"Putting our token on an exchange like Bittrex is a privilege, and we want to sened our users to platforms we—and they—can trust," Sood wrote in a Medium post. "There's a reason our users saw UnikoinGold as the decentralized token of eSports and gaming during our unprecedented sale."
That crowdsale took place in October 2017, when Unikrn set the standard for any eSports and gaming token sale to date by raising $31 million for UnikoinGold, a decentralized ERC20 token on the Ethereum blockchain and the offshoot of the virtual coin Unikoin, which Unikrn launched in 2015. The original version of the virtual currency—now called UnikoinSilver—were available only on Unikrn's platform, but UnikoinGold can be purchased or sold on third party exchanges, or even withdrawn from Unikrn altogether.
The eSports betting company initially planned to sell $100 million worth of its cryptocurrency tokens, with the proceeds slated to "help fund the growth of business."
Aside from the successful initial coin offering, Unikrn also gained a Maltese gambling license, which opens the door to 80% of the European gambling market for the U.S.-based startup. Unikrn has already begun working on its European expansion plans, and we expect to see the fruits of their labor this year.

We Tear Out The Front Page - Gore May Endorse Bush!
This cryptic comment from fromer Vice President Al Gore's "Move-On" speech neither stunned the assembled media, nor shook the Democratic Party, but we are fascinated:
"...I've just about concluded that the real problem may be the President himself and that next year we ought to fire him and get a new one. "
As Billy Crystal famously observed in "The Princess Bride", mostly dead is partly alive. Clearly, Al Gore has not yet concluded that it is time for Bush to go!
Perhaps this is what is prompting Big Al to preserve all his options:
The removal of Saddam from power is a positive accomplishment in its own right for which the President deserves credit, just as he deserves credit for removing the Taliban from power in Afghanistan.
Well, some observers believe that the Democrats need to counter a public perception that theyare soft on security; perhaps Big AL not-so-secretly shares that view. Or is Mr. Gore rejecting the Democrats because of their inabilty to offer a compelling alternative message?
...the President's case for urgent, unilateral, pre-emptive war in Iraq ...needed to be challenged more effectively by the Congress.
...The way we went to war in Iraq illustrates this larger problem. Normally, we Americans lay the facts on the table, talk through the choices before us and make a decision. But that didn't really happen with this war -- not the way it should have.
He is clearly troubled. However, I will venture the Bold Prediction that, in an upcoming pass through low Earth orbit, Big Al will decide to endorse a Democrat.

Don't miss it out!
This is the last conference of the year 2013 about wildlife photography, if you like nature, animals and or photography, don't miss it...! Just call the number above and put your name on the list... See you there!
Cheetahs vs Leopards
Cheetahs and leopards are both big cats found in sub-Saharan Africa and parts of Asia. Leopards have yellow fur while cheetahs are tan. Cheetahs are known to hunt their prey during daytime whereas Leopards generally hunt during the night. They also differ in other physical and behavioral characteristics. Cheetahs are known for their speed; they are one of the fastest animals on the planet.
Differences between Spotted and Striped Hyenas
Of the three species of hyena in Africa, only the spotted hyena and the shy and much rarer, striped hyena are found in East Africa. The smaller, and even shyer brown hyena (Hyaena brunnea) occurs only in Southern Africa
As you can see, the striped hyena has a lighter color, with black stripes. The tail is much thicker than the tail of the spotted hyena. It's ears are more pointed , and it's neck is longer.
White Lion Cub
The white lion is a rare colour mutation of the Kruger subspecies of lion (Panthera leo krugeri) found in some wildlife reserves in South Africa and in zoos around the world. White lions are not a separate subspecies and are thought to be indigenous to the Timbavati region of South Africa for centuries, although the earliest recorded sighting in this region was in 1938. Regarded as divine by locals, white lions first came to public attention in the 1970s in Chris McBride's book The White Lions of Timbavati. Up until 2009, when the first pride of white lions was reintroduced to the wild, it was widely believed that the white lion could not survive in the wild. It is for this reason that a large part of the population of white lions now reside in zoos.
White lions are not albinos. Their white colour is caused by a recessive trait derived from a less-severe mutation in the same gene that causes albinism, distinct from the gene responsible for white tigers. They vary from blonde to near-white. This coloration does not appear to disadvantage their survival. The white lions of the Global White Lion Protection Trust (GWLPT) have been reintroduced into their natural habitat and have been hunting and breeding successfully without human intervention for a significant amount of time. White lions in South Africa are currently being bred almost exclusively for hunting, but Linda Tucker (the founder of GWLP and author of The Mystery of the White Lions) and her team are trying to change the South African hunting laws.

Cone rejoins Mets on minor-league deal
Associated Press
NEW YORK -- David Cone decided to give it one more try.
Out of baseball last year, the 40-year-old pitcher will attempt a comeback with the New York Mets, signing a minor league contract Thursday.
The right-hander last pitched in 2001, going 9-7 with a 4.31 ERA in 25 starts for Boston. Cone worked as an analyst for the New York Yankees' YES network last season and had been expected to do so again.
"My gut feeling is that I'll probably retire at this point,'' Cone said in late January while visiting the Yankees' minor league complex in Tampa, Fla.
But after a lot of lobbying from Mets lefty Al Leiter -- and the possibility of winning a spot as the No. 5 starter -- Cone chose to give it a shot. He would get a $550,000, one-year contract if he makes the team and the chance to earn $200,000 more in performance bonuses.
Cone, who rose to prominence with the Mets in the late 1980s, was expected to join pitchers and catchers Friday at spring training in Port St. Lucie, Fla.
"When you talk to a guy who's pitched as long as David and talk about getting hitters out, competing and working on a major league mound, you certainly saw his enthusiasm for wanting to give it another shot,'' Leiter said Thursday,
"I just told him the same thing I told him last year. I told him it would be a good thing and that a lot of his success was here,'' he said. "He's good, he's a good clubhouse guy, he's smart, a veteran player who knows how to win. Absolutely he can help.''
Leiter, Tom Glavine, Pedro Astacio and Steve Trachsel hold down the first four spots in the rotation. Cone will compete with Mike Bacsik, Jason Middlebrook and Aaron Heilman for the fifth slot.
"It's hard to know what David has left,'' Mets general manager Steve Phillips said. "There's no risk. It gives us a free look.''
"We're not looking at David exclusively as a starting pitcher,'' he added.
Cone is 193-123 lifetime with a 3.44 ERA. A five-time All-Star, Cone ranks 17th in major league history with 2,655 strikeouts.
Cone pitched for the Mets from 1987-92, going a career-best 20-3 in 1988.
He won the 1994 Cy Young Award with Kansas City and threw a perfect game in 1999 for the Yankees. He won four World Series championship rings with the Yankees, and also won one with Toronto in 1992.
Cone has enjoyed his relationship with the Yankees, and wanted to make sure his deal with the Mets wouldn't cause any hard feelings.
Cone told Yankees manager Joe Torre on Wednesday he intended to sign with the Mets. Torre wished him luck with the crosstown team.
"Even if you were invited here to pitch, the chances of you making this club are nil with the numbers we have,'' Torre remembered telling Cone.
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman also hoped it would work out for Cone.
"With his motivation and his heart, you can't count him out, ever,'' Cashman said. "David has been wanting to come back for quite some time. Spring training in the best place to do it. It's low-risk for the Mets.''

It's Stitch Fix Time!!!!!!
I've switched to an every other month Fix schedule, so that's why it's been awhile since we've had one (December, in fact!). But I am always excited to share my latest box with you guys!
If you're new to my Fix posts, here are the previous ones, and here's how it works :
Stitch Fix is an online styling service that delivers a truly personalized shopping experience, just for you. Fill out your Style Profile and a personal stylist will hand pick pieces to fit your tastes, needs and budget—and mail them directly to your door. Each box contains five items of clothing, shoes and accessories for you to try on at home. Keep what you love, send the rest back in a prepaid USPS envelope. Shipping and returns are free—even for exchanges!
The Style Profile is really detailed--it's just not stuff like your weight and height. They want to know as much about you and your style as possible, from how much skin you like to show, to your proportions, and what kind of trends and styles you'd like to try. You can even set a price range for individual categories and ask them not to send certain things. For example, in my Style Profile, I ask for no bracelets, rings, or just about any type of shoe other than a flat or lowish heel. (Stilettos are NOT my friend.)
There's also a place to add a link to your Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, or Pinterest Style Board, so your stylist can get a feel for what you like. Finally, there's the style note, where you can ask for specific items, talk about events that are coming up (I mentioned my brother's wedding in the spring), or generally discuss your style or anything you'd like to see in the box.
So, after you fill out the Style Profile, you will pay $20 as a styling fee. This is taken off any items you decide to keep in your Fix, so I look at it as a down payment on whatever's in the box. Keep in mind that a real person will personally select all five items that come in your box for you, based on what you've told him/ her.
When the box arrives, it's time for the fun--trying on pieces. This is where I think Stitch Fix has a leg up over normal shopping. Since the box is shipped to you, you have your entire wardrobe at your disposal when you get these pieces. You can see right away if the things that were sent work with items you already have! You don't have to stand in the dressing room and think, "Do I have anything that will go with this? How will this look with my favorite heels? Do I already have things in this color?"
So, with all that out of the way, here's what I got in my box this time!
Number 1: Hawthorne 41 Poppi Textured Pullover sweater, $68
This isn't a bad sweater. Generally I really like the Hawthorn 41 line (it's one of Stitch Fix's exclusive brands). However, I didn't feel this color did anything for me, and it was sort of meh on.
(You will see this again with another item, per the stylist's suggestion.)
Verdict: Returned
Items Numbers 2 & 3: Mauvette Middleton Ponte Dress, $58, and Mia Pecora D'orsay Flats, $48
Here's what you need to know about my feet: I have terrible ones. I have pretty high arches, plus BIG bunions. Not little bunions. Big ones. Huge. Not bad enough to require surgery, but not far off, either. So pointy toed shoes with no support are not shoes I can wear, no matter how cute they are. And these shoes were cute. But I can never wear them. I will say I did like the style of shoe, with the strap around the ankle, which I didn't think I would like.
This dress was very nice. It was well-constructed, and I liked the scallop detailing and the color. But I was looking for dresses for my brother's wedding, and this dress is one I would've worn if I still worked in the Senate and the General Assembly was in session--this is a "session dress". Conservative and lady-like. Which is fine, it's just not what I need most of the time anymore. And when I do, I have dresses like this.
Verdict on both: Returned
Item Number 4: Wisp Cleo Textured Knit Dress, $88
Now, this was a fun dress. Still had the scallop detail at the neck, has a twirly skirt, and is speckled with flecks of ocean blue, coral, and white, which make it an acceptable dress to wear to a wedding (Normally I NEVER wear black to a wedding. But this had enough color.). It's very comfortable and flattering. But is it fancy enough for my brother's wedding? I don't know. It is a lot of fun, though. I would wear it as a guest at a wedding, for sure. But....I think accessories will amp it up. The right jewelry, a bright colored cardigan for the ceremony (the bolero jacket type), shoes.....
In any case, this dress will be great for going out. I could even wear it for Easter or something. It's really fun and very much my style.
Verdict: KEPT
Item Number 5: Margaret M Deandra Skirt, $78
I have had TONS of luck with Margaret M. I had two other skirts from them (see my past fixes!), and I love them. They are all different, too. This one is more like starched cotton with some stretch, so it'll be great for spring and summer. And the colors are amazing. There's taupe gray, white, pale pink, navy blue, ocean blue, a deep turquoise, orange....it's just fabulous.
Here it is with two different tops:
Verdict: KEPT
I had a $50 gift card from Christmas, so that went a long way in deciding what to keep. I was a little disappointed in this Fix, because I had wanted all dresses for my brother's wedding, and I told my stylist that. So this was a bit of a downer. I do like the clothes I got--it just wasn't what I was particularly in need of.
My next Fix is schedule to come right before my birthday in April, so we'll see what goodies are there!
If you want to try Stitch Fix, I'd be greatly appreciative if you'd use my referral link. You get clothes, and I get $25 of credit to use for more clothes, which means more fashion shows! Here it is.
And there is also Stitch Fix MEN! So if you have a guy in your life that needs style help, you can use my link for him, too!
Stitch Fix styles men and women, and also as pregnancy and plus sizes for the ladies! There is also Stitch Fix Luxe, which is brands like Kate Spade, if you're interested in that.

Top row: Witchery bomber jacket|| Forever New top|| Witchery dress
Second row: Wittner sneakers|| DB Cosmetics lipstick|| Skye and Lach sunglasses
Third row: Adairs throw|| DB Cosmetics blush|| Sportsgirl bucket bag
I was never a pink girl to say the least, and if mum was to see this post, she would cry of laughter because when I was little everything needed to be blue, blue blue! Blue is still my favorite colour, and those who are closest to me will know that I'm not the girliest of girls, but I'm still partial to a splash of pink! This season pink has become the new black, although an all black combo will always have my heart, I'm still excited to add some of the colour to my wardrobe. The items featured above are my picks from the latest trend and I have to make a special mention about the 'Designer Brands Cosmetic' long-wear lipstick (above), this has to be one of the best affordable lipsticks on the market!

Don't miss out on the opportunity to network with the largest contingent of experts in thrombosis and haemostasis during the official congress dinner: a good place to meet colleagues and friends. The Gemeentemuseum Den Haag, one of the most characteristic museums of The Netherlands, will be the venue.
The Gemeentemuseum is a refreshing museum with an unexpected twist. The fabulous setting of the 1935 Art Deco building designed by top Dutch architect H. P. Berlage will make the dinner a truly outstanding experience. With almost 300 works, the Gemeentemuseum's Mondriaan collection is unique in the world. The exhibition also contains his last – unfinished – masterpiece, the Victory Boogie Woogie (1942-1944).
It is a mere 10-minute walk from the World Forum to the Gemeentemuseum.

Important things to remember
1. Never leave your child unattended. In the case of my son, he likes the water very much that whenever I pull him out of the water, he keeps coming back to the pool by himself. Also, they might accidentally slide on the slippery side of the pool.
2. To prevent him from drinking water (that is with chlorine), I avoid the part of the pool where the others usually jump and play.
3. As much as possible, since I did not apply him with sunblock, I don't let him swim within 11am to 3pm. Otherwise, we go to the area with good shade to avoid direct sunlight.

Pablo Center Releases Update on $60 Million Budget
Building, furnishing, and opening Eau Claire's new downtown arts hub – the Pablo Center at the Confluence – will cost nearly $60 million, according to a budget update released Thursday. The $59.89 million price tag includes $45 million in construction costs for the Pablo Center, which is slated to open Sept. 22.
The budget for the shared university-community arts center – which will contain two theaters, rehearsal spaces, art galleries, classrooms, a recording studio, and much more – includes a funding gap of $8.89 million. The Pablo Center hopes to fill the shortfall with an additional $4.7 million from donors and $4.2 million in grants. According to a media release, the Eau Claire Confluence Council, which will operate the Pablo Center, "has been actively working on numerous grants and feels positive that significant progress will be made over the next two months."
The Pablo Center is currently under construction along Graham Avenue in downtown Eau Claire, overlooking the confluence of the Eau Claire and Chippewa rivers.
The facility's budget already included $24 million in local philanthropy, $15 million from the state, $5 million from the city, $3.5 million from the county, and $3.5 million in new market tax credits. No new tax dollars are being requested, the budget update says.
The $45 million construction figure was widely cited as the arts center's cost in recent years. However, the new budget includes an additional $6.1 million for design and development, $926,000 for "pre-opening expenses" (such as software, IT systems, and staff costs), and $7.9 million for furnishings. The original budget did not include funding for audio/visual technology in numerous parts of the building, including rehearsal rooms, classrooms, the recording studio, and lab spaces.
"Budgeting has been a very fluid process, driven not just by the construction process for an arts center, but also responding to the unique and transformational opportunities associated with what a center of this magnitude can offer to the region in the form of community benefits, workforce development, and innovation," said a statement released with the budget update.
Read more about budget update, including an interview with Pablo Center Executive Director Jason Jon Anderson, in the next issue of Volume One.

Gadgets Which Help to Keep Fit
by smartpeopleproblems
The decision to keep fit requires from you huge effort. You have to go to some place, spend money, sweat in presence of strangers and feel ashamed of your extra weight in front of them. Of course, you want to have slim body and strong muscles to be the star of the beach or of some other place, but sometimes this motivation is not enough to make you actually do something.
Modern technology, however, provides you with the means which will help you to loose weight and will not demand you to become a hero of the local fitness club. You can keep fit and train different groups of muscles while playing and having fun. Besides, there is no need to leave home.
The first device I want to recommend you is Sony PS3+Move. "Move" controllers with radiant balls and camera connected to PS3 allows the system to "see" your movements. You can take these controllers in your hands and operate the game training various groups of muscles at the same time.
Thus, for instance, you can play "My Fitness Coach Club" game. This game provides you with yoga lessons, cardio fitness and the opportunity of creating your personal program for loosing weight according to your individual features. In the set "Move fitness" there are no exercises but the games of throwing ball in the basket, catching the balls released by the machine, breaking bricks and so on instead. Another application, "UFC Personal Trainer" will teach you the techniques of martial arts – box, wrestling, Muay Thai. EA Sports Active 2 is equipped with pulse sensor and the sensors for your hands and legs so you can see how your hips become tauter in the process of training. If you think that fitness exercises are boring, you can play different games like volleyball, tennis, ping-pong, bowling, billiard or golf.
Another device which can replace attending of fitness club is Microsoft Xbox+Kinect. In Xbox the camera "sees" your movements and there is no need to hold something in your hands. It is convenient for dancing and doing exercises, but for the sports games it is better to use PlayStation 3. Xbox pays particular attention to the dancing programs. You can enjoy "Let's cheer" which teaches you how to dance like a cheerleader from American movies, or try "The Black Eyed Peas Experience" where the members of the band themselves will become your teachers. There are options for kids ("Just Dance Kids") and for those who are fond of rave style ("Dance Evolution"). The option "Zumba Fitness Rush" combines fitness techniques with dancing lessons.
This device also allows you to do exercises for the particular groups of muscles, from doing press to obstacle race. If you are tired of jumping, running and dancing you may develop your coordination and intellectual skills with the help of the games "Dr. Kawashima's Body" and "Brain Exercises". These apps will tell you also the actual age of your mind.
A month or two of paying and having fun, and you will look like a constant visitor of fitness club, only with a happier face.
