IN EARLY February, the Bratislava zoo introduced to the public three white tiger cubs, born to the female tiger Shilang on December 11, 2012. “All three cubs – two females, Adisa and Asira, and one male, Adžaj – are healthy, vital and the mother is caring for them perfectly,” head of the zoo Miloslava Šavelová told the...
The birth of the three cubs, which lasted five hours, was Shilang’s fourth. She was born in 2005, and arrived in Bratislava in October 2006 from a French zoo in Cerza-Lisieux. The father, Achilles, was born in 2002 and came to the Slovak capital in November 2006 from the zoo in the Czech city of Liberec. The family of ...
“We didn’t want to show the baby tigers earlier – the cubs are very fragile and we are always worried whether they would survive, so even we from the zoo try to enter their pen as little as possible,” Šavelová explained.

Recycle plastic Easter eggs and transform them into sophisticated holiday décor like this example from Domestically Blissful. Hot glue pine cone petals to the spray-painted eggs or simply wrap them with twine to give the eggs an "acorn" vibe.
These adorable mini trees from Scissors and Spoons are simple to make. Paint your pine cones greens, then add a touch of glue on the ends to sprinkle glitter on. Then place each one in a painted terra-cotta pot.

Mark Ronson performs at a launch event for the Creators Project, the first of five global conferences highlighting art and music.
(CNN) -- Between the recent unveiling of Apple's iPhone 4 or Microsoft's trendy Kin touch phone, people can constantly be in touch.
Amid the digital revolution that has grandfathers asking for iPads and Nooks, city dwellers to those living in rural areas have the potential to constantly be up-to-date and in the loop, if they have access to the technology.
To shrink the gap -- even if just for one day -- the folks at Intel and the underground cultural surveyors at Vice teamed up and are kicking off the Creators Project, a creative experiment of sorts Saturday at Milk Studios in New York City.
"For the first time in history the kids know the same thing about music, fashion and art because of the internet," said Shane Smith, founder of Vice. "But wouldn't it be great to be a part of all the scenes?"
The 12-hour cultural expression extravaganza promises to deliver innovative film, fine art, and multimedia exhibitions, the common denominator being technology.
"I think it comes down to the art of possibilities," said Deborah Conrad, vice president and chief marketing officer for Intel. "It's about giving people access, and a way to express themselves. Just because there's a guy in Oklahoma, doesn't mean he can't participate."
The one-day-only lineup includes panel discussions, workshops, and live performances by the likes of super music producers Diplo and Mark Ronson, plus a screening of Spike Jonze's short film, "I'm Here," a love story about the relationship of two robots living in Los Angeles, California.
Following Saturday's event, the show travels to London, England; Sao Paulo, Brazil; Seoul, South Korea; and Beijing, China.
At a time when digital technologies have revolutionized distribution and access to the arts, coupled with a struggling economy depleting funding for the arts, the Creators Project aims to give people access to the arts and inspire others to get creative.
Organizers hosted a test event in France a year ago where more than 10,000 people lined up around the block in the rain to attend, recalled Smith.
"It was nuts, and we've had some crazy parties, but I've never seen that," Smith said. "If you're not in with the cool kids you're screwed, and so we want to create a network that can support the (independent) artist."
The "indie scene" is where culture evolves from; it's where dynamic change comes and yet is one of the most unsupported scenes, said Diplo, who produced the Grammy Award-winning song "Paper Planes" for M.I.A.
"I grew up in a small town in Florida, and I was always trying to do things creative and pushing the envelope," Diplo said. "I think America has always been lacking in supporting wacky stuff ... but I feel it (Creators Project) is amazing."
The all-star lineup is building some healthy competition, too. So much so, Mark Ronson, who has produced albums for the likes of Amy Winehouse, Ghostface Killah and Lily, is keeping his performance under wraps, he said.
"I'm as much as a fan as I am a creator. It's this super group of the arts and it's exciting," Ronson said. "We're all creators of a digital age, and combining these creative geniuses is what is going to make it what it is."

DAYVILLE — A first-and-goal for Killingly at the four-yard line with two seconds remaining in the game was all that was between Quinebaug Valley and the program’s first state playoff appearance.
After giving up 112 yards on the ground to Killingly’s Tyler Stucke in the second half, the Pride knew that stopping Stucke would seal the game.
The handoff to Stucke was up the middle, where he was met by Pride defenders two yards from the end zone. Quinebaug Valley stopped the comeback and defeated Killingly, 14-6, at Killingly Sports Complex.
After starting the season 2-2, the Pride finished the regular season with seven straight victories. John Sanderson (23 carries, 121 yards) was awarded most outstanding player for Quinebaug Valley, which finished in the eighth and final spot for the Class M State playoffs, edging out Stonington. The Pride (9-2) will tra...
Quinebaug Valley’s defense started strong in the first half by forcing a fumble on the third play of the first drive. Sanderson took advantage of the short field and ran for 18 yards for a 6-0 lead.
After the Pride forced the Redmen (4-7) to a three-and-out, Niko Dimopoulos recovered a fumble on Killingly’s next drive, while Michael Holmes and Raiff Santerre each had an interception and the defense held Stucke to 28 yards on 10 carries.
After forcing the Redmen to turn the ball over on downs, Quinebaug Valley drove 55 yards as Santerre capped it with a 6-yard run to the end zone on fourth-and-goal and ran in the two-point conversion for a 14-0 at the half.
In the second half, both teams only had two possesions. Quinebaug Valley chewed up the clock running with Sanderson and Santerre, who had 90 yards on 22 carries.
Kilingly ran the ball with Stucke 18 times in the second half as he found holes in the defense. The Redmen switched quarterbacks as Nick Hewitt stepped in and made a key throw to Troy Waterman for 32 yards that set up Stucke for a 5-yard run for a score early in the fourth quarter.
The Pride’s last drive stalled at Killingly’s 30-yard line and a pooch kick by Tylor Genest pinned Killingly on its eight-yard line with 3:18 left for its final possession.
Stucke ran for six straight plays, bringing the Redmen inside Quinebaug Valley’s 40-yard line. Kyle Derosier stepped back in at quarterback and found Hewitt for a 17-yard gain on a fourth-and-12 with 1:12 left. Stucke’s number was called again for three straight plays and a second-down pass play at the 15-yard line fro...
Stucke’s final run came two yards short of the end zone as he finished with 28 carries for 143 yards.
Hewitt was named Killinlgy’s most outstanding player as he finished with three catches for 39 yards and went 2-for-2 for 42 yards.
Last Wednesday morning, I had the pleasure of attending the commencement ceremony of Deering High School’s class of 2017. As a member of Deering High’s nearly all-white class of 1984, I was struck by the change in the school’s demographics. Graduating alongside my nephew and some students who could well have been my cl...
One of them, Dylantha Musonerwa, told the audience about leaving Burundi with her mother and two siblings in 2008, a wrenching but lifesaving departure that brought them to Portland, and Dylantha eventually to Deering. It was clear that the confident speaker at the podium has already contributed much to her community a...
No argument with that here. But as Waltz congratulated the students in a series of languages that included Arabic, French, Somali, Tagalog and Vietnamese, it occurred to me that it is also true that the vigorous diversity of Deering High’s class of 2017 contributes to a collective richness of experience, skill and tale...
HASAKA - The Kurdish YPG militia launched a major assault on Monday to seize the last government-controlled parts of the northeastern Syrian city of Hasaka after calling on pro-government militias to surrender, Kurdish forces and residents said.
They said Kurdish forces began the offensive after midnight to take the southeastern district of Nashwa, close to where a security compound is located near the governor's office close to the heart of the city.The powerful YPG militia had earlier captured Ghwairan, the only major Arab neighborhood still in government ha...
The fighting this week in Hasaka, which is divided into zones of Kurdish and Syrian government control, marks the most violent confrontation between the Kurdish YPG militia and Damascus in more than five years of civil war.
The Syrian army deployed warplanes against the main armed Kurdish group for the first time during the war last week, prompting a US-led coalition to scramble aircraft to protect American special operations ground forces.
