A relatively new feline breed, American Ringtail is not yet fully registered and is at the moment in an experimental stage as a breed. It originated only a few years back, when in 1998 a stray male kitten was rescued in Fremont, California. As the cat grew it was discovered that he tended to keep his tail in a curled position over his back. There was no deformity or medical problem found with the animal and he seemed to be in no discomfort as he held his tail in the particular manner. Soon other cats in the locality were seen with a similar 'ring' tail. After genetic consultation, a decision w...

A lot research has focused on omega-3 fats as good for body and brain function. Scientists have scrutinized these fats in everything from heart disease and diabetes to depression, bipolar illness, schizophrenia, ADHD and Alzheimer’s. The latest papers to add to the experimental pile come from a recent edition of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. The new studies evaluate omega-3s in people in their 70s and 80s and relate to cognitive function, mood and mental well-being. The bottom line to the new findings is that having higher levels of omeg...

Late this spring, there was a successful in-flight test of the Airborne Laser (ABL) tracking system. Despite this, there is a common misperception that the ABL is an experimental defensive weapon that has no practical use. On some level, this misperception is understandable. After all, lasers may be commonly used in eye surgery, but the only place most people have seen lasers in battle is in the movies. No doubt the ABL is super high tech. But it would be a grave mistake to assume that it belongs only in science fiction. The truth is, the ABL has a track record of continuous testing achie...

Chocolate or lilac Persians? Can it be possible? I, as an owner, breeding Persians and exots, pose myself such a problem quite recently. Of, course they exist, if to see from genetic point of view. These colors are included into standard, there is their description, but... Where are they? By all accounts from abroad, they have such animals but for some reason they are more often met in pedigrees of British cats as experimental partners for leading new color into the breed, but not like exhibition stars. It had to spent lots of time to answer the question: "What is the real situation with ...

Vietnamese fine art is a rising force in the Asian art arena. It also enjoys a very unique position in the world of Asian art. According to several art commentators, compared to other Asian countries, Vietnamese art showed the earliest signs of a successful merging into the main stream of modern art, as defined by the West, both form-wise and content-wise. This is corroborated by the fact that Vietnam was the seat for Ecole Des Beaux Arts (Indochina's School of Fine Art) in the early 1930s, with the presence of professors from France. Manifestation of a strong influence by Western techniq...
