Couple's Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Pregnancy Announcement Lyrics

This is a story all about how
Our life got flip-turned upside down
And I liked to take a minute and sit right there
And tell you how it all began

"In Happy Valley, Oregon, livin' and wed
Bought our first house and started to build our homestead
Chillin' out, maxin', and relaxin' all cool

While all thinking that our lives pretty much ruled
When our family and friends, who were up to no good
Started askin' questions about parenthood
We told one little lie, said it's not time yet

Parents said, 'We're ready for grandkids so get a move on it!
I woke up in the morning 'bout 7 or 8
And I thought to myself, 'Oh man, I'm late!'
Looked at the test, and it was finally there

The little plus sign
We're now three, not a pair.

Watch this Bobcat catch and Drag a Shark off the Waters

In a rare beach wildlife encounter a Bobcat was witnessed catching a 4 foot shark at Sebastian Inlet State Park near Vero Beach in Florida as the stunning moment was captured by photographer John Bailey

Bobcat catches a 4 foot shark and drags it off the water

Well they say whenever you witness a shark on the beach, make sure to get out of the waters as quickly as possible but apparently no one ever though of confronting one and taking it home without even using a fishing rod or a bait to fish it out of the waters. Well this was the case with this rare wildlife encounter caught on camera where in a huge bobcat was witnessed attacking a 4 foot long shark at the Sebastian Inlet State Park near Vero Beach in Florida and dragged its catch off the waters as the entire moment was witnessed and captured by on vacation photographer John Bailey.Photographer John Bailey apparently was taking an evening stroll through Sebastian Inlet State Park in Vero Beach when he spotted a huge bobcat keenly staring at the water. Curious and a bit scared John Bailey slowly moved closer to the bobcat to find out what the cat was up to where he discovered that the wildcat was apparently watching a shark in the shallows waters of the beach when it suddenly made a move for the shark as it swiftly jumped into the waters and caught the shark by it's tail and dragged the fish off the waters.

The bobcat was pretty quick at grabbing, snatching and pulling out the shark which didn't give John Bailey any time to capture it on his camera and furthermore he hadn't brought his camera to the beach but he knew it was once a lifetime opportunity to shooting to fame as a photographer so John Bailey switched to his Iphone to capture the bobcat holding its catch and dragging the struggling 4 foot shark. Apparently in the process of capturing the bobcat catch a shark, John went in too close to the big cat which apparently scared the bobcat as it dropped his catch and made a run into the forests.

Watch Bobcat catch its Prey

While John Bailey who had no intention of scaring the bobcat or steal his catch was sad about bobcat dropping off his fish, he had greater things to cherish as he immediately shot to fame with his photo of a bobcat walking along the beach with a shark in its mouth as the photo went viral on the internet, especially among wildlife experts and organizations. Wildlife experts said it was a really rare encounter of actually capturing a bobcat preying on a shark, although it's quite common for typical bobcats to often prey in the waters what was rare was actually capturing it on camera as bobcats often prefer solitary environments which makes it very difficult to capture one in action.

While others had doubts about photo being fake, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission made it pretty clear that the photo was genuine and was one of the rarest encounters ever caught on camera. Hmm bobcat huh? Oh great am happy with my cats and dogs, No beach holidays for me in Florida. :P What about you? What would you have done if you witnessed a wildlife animal snatching a 4 foot shark or a scary hunt in the waters. ;)

New Aluminium powered battery recharges in a minute

Scientists at Stanford University build a bendable Aluminium powered battery with an ultrafast rechargeable timing of just 1 minute which is much more stable, inexpensive and safer compared to today's outdated lithium powered batteries

A bunch of scientists mainly consisting of a team of students led by their chemistry professor Honglie Dai had their eureka moment when they succeeded in creating the first successful aluminium battery which can finally act as an alternative to modern world's most used and outdated lithium powered batteries. Batteries have played a vital role in creating the modern technological world in which we live today and in fact every gadget or machine that is surrounding us today works on it. It all started with huge alkaline powered batteries which later were replaced by today's lithium ion batteries which helped solve many modern day problems but had it's own demerits and safety concerns, but apparently with this new invention of aluminium ion batteries one can expect the rise of the third generation of batteries which are much more powerful compared to lithium batteries and are much safer and inexpensive to produce and will help energy sector and gadget industries to switch to much cleaner aluminium powered batteries as an safe alternative to conventional batteries.

Stanford scientists have invented a flexible, high-performance aluminum powered battery that charges in just 1 minute

The Aluminium ion battery prototype is made up of aluminum anode and a graphite cathode made of graphite and a combination of ionic liquid electrolyte and a flexible polymer acting as a casing that allows for producing sufficient voltage. The ionic liquid electrolyte is the secret behind the aluminium battery being much stable and nonflammable, the electrolyte is actually a salt that converts to liquid at room temperature. The composition and casting is so good that it continues to support the device stably even when a whole is drill through the battery while it is being used by a device. In the prototype demo video you can see the Aluminium battery successfully powering an LED light while it is being bent and drilled through.

Yingpen Wu and his colleagues at Stanford together succeeded in developing the first rechargeable aluminum-ion battery which is inexpensive, long-lasting and safe while working under the guidance of professor Honglie Dai

Coming to recharge cycles previously many attempts to build an Aluminium powered battery have been made but they all failed when it came to recharge cycles and holding capacity but this invention by Stanford researchers has actually succeeded in what everyone had been trying to achieve. These Aluminium ion powered batteries are 7.5 times longer recharge cycle when compared to an average lithium icon battery. The only disadvantage that these Aluminium ion batteries haven't been able to cover is voltage and power density where it lags behind lithium powered batteries average 4 volts with its 2 volts production and packs a power of 40 watts/kg compared to lithium batteries humongous 206 Watts/kg power density.

Meanwhile Professor Honglie Dai and his team is optimistic that these values can be improved drastically by changing the material used for the cathode. Meanwhile the technological invention has already attracted lots of gadget and smartphone manufacturing companies with it's flexible and durable structure with longer battery life and ultrafast charging and most of all being hazard proof as it is fire proof and continues to support the device while being an environment friendly product. Most of all these Aluminium batteries are very cheap and inexpensive to produce compared to lithium batteries which are much costlier than Aluminium. The research was funded by various energy organizations and companies from several parts of the world and certainly the results have been overwhelming and might just be the next step towards the next generation of cleaner and powerful batteries with applications that can be applied to any flexible technology or product like storing renewable energy in massive electrical grids which rapidly store and release energy.

Meanwhile smartphone users were worried about performance issues of it's discharging capability while under usage due to the fact that it has smaller recharge time and might discharge very quickly. This certainly has to be next big breakthrough in the field of science this year after scientists found a way to unboil boiled eggs to boost cancer research drug production prices. This invention certainly has lots of potential, just imagine the shelf life of energy products being extended by humongous 7.5 times before switching or buying a new one but I know those nerds need more answers as smartphones recharging in 60 seconds doesn't always impress these chemical geniuses. :)
