For family members providing dementia home care for a senior with Alzheimer's disease or another kind of dementia, a number of complex effects have to be very carefully handled, but perhaps the most overwhelming consist of hallucinations, illusions, and suspicions that other individuals are out to cause him problems or ill will. False perceptions such as these arise typically in the more advanced phases of progressive dementia as a result of changes within the brain. It's essential to first recognize the reasons behind these emotions and behaviors, and to deal with the root cause.
Causes for hallucinations may perhaps be the result of a general confusion, a medicine side effect or an infection. Seek advice from the doctor to rule out medication side effects or infections, but also monitor the person's environment.
If the person keeps hearing someone talking: Is a TV or radio on in a different part of the home that may be creating the issue?
If the senior believes he/she is continuously being observed: Try pulling curtains closed over the windows.
If the person sees insects shifting on the walls: Is there a patterned wallpaper on the wall that may possibly be triggering the perception?
When illusions do happen, don't dispute about whether or not they're real, but instead evaluate the situation, reassure the senior in a calm voice and adjust the atmosphere as required or reply to the individual's feelings.
An older adult with dementia might accuse others of stealing things, of improper behavior or of betrayal. This could be the result of a general confusion or memory loss, but can also be a way for the older adult to express fear.
Take "no" out of your vocabulary. Never debate, become offended or attempt to convince the individual otherwise.
Reassure the individual, letting him or her share feelings.
Try and give a simple solution to the allegation.
Redirect; for example, distracting the senior with an alternate task.
Respond to the requirement as opposed to the words.
Maintain duplicates of regularly lost objects, such as a pocketbook or wallet. If one is missing, the alternate can be presented.
It is no doubt that providing dementia support for a senior with Alzheimer's disease can be daunting at times. It's vital to depend on the support of other individuals for advice, resources and respite from the day-to-day duties. Call on the Novato in-home care services of Hired Hands Homecare. We provide home caregivers who are expertly trained in the art of patient, innovative dementia care strategies to ensure your loved one is safe, comfortable and thriving.

Video: Ohio Officers Honored for Saving Lives With Tourniquets
August 3, 2018 • by Staff Writer
Golf Manor, OH, police Lt. Michael Forrest and Cincinnati Police Officers Luke Wylie and Alexander Saulsbury were all honored by Rep. Brad Wenstrup Thursday for saving lives using tourniquets, reports WCPO.
Forrest said he relied on his military training. "Act. Move. Do something," he said.
Wenstrup is no stranger to tourniquets either. He's a combat surgeon who used one in June 2017 to stop bleeding on his colleague Steve Scalise when a gunman opened fire on their baseball practice.
"Upon recognizing that he had a bleeding problem internally, we were able to use a belt to start with until things arrived and we were able to put on a tourniquet," he said.
That saved Scalise's life, just like Forrest saved his neighbor. Dr. Jay Johannigman of UC Health said that gave the man a second chance.
"The young man's artery was repaired that evening," he said. "The young man went home five days later."
The event was part of an awareness campaign prmote the "Stop the Bleed" program, which is training people in the area to use tourniquets to save lives.

Eastern Europe is heading for a violent "spring of discontent", according to experts in the region who fear that the global economic downturn is generating a dangerous popular backlash on the streets.
Hit increasingly hard by the financial crisis, countries such as Bulgaria, Romania and the Baltic states face deep political destabilisation and social strife, as well as an increase in racial tension.
Last week protesters were tear-gassed as they threw rocks at police outside parliament in Vilnius, capital of Lithuania, in a protest against an austerity package including tax rises and benefit cuts.
In Sofia, Bulgaria, 150 people were arrested and at least 30 injured in widespread violence. More than 100 were detained after street battles between security forces and demonstrators in the Latvian capital, Riga.
According to the most recent estimates, the economies of some eastern European countries, after posting double-digit growth for nearly a decade, will contract by up to 5% this year, with inflation peaking at more than 13%. Many fear Romania, which joined the European Union with Bulgaria in 2007, may be the next to suffer major breakdowns in public order.
"In a few months there will be people in the streets, that much is certain," said Luca Niculescu, a media executive in Bucharest. "Every day we hear about another factory shutting or moving overseas. There is a new government that has not shown itself too effective. We have got used to very high growth rates. It's an explosive cocktail."
Major Romanian companies threatening massive job cuts include low-cost car-maker Dacia, where up to 4,000 posts could go if sales do not recover. A spokeswoman for Renault, which owns Dacia, said such deep cuts would only be considered in a "catastrophic scenario", but production in Romania has already been halted for two months after local demand plunged by more than half. Other major companies have already announced plans to relocate, with one Japanese wire factory heading for Morocco.
Marius Oprea, security adviser to the last Romanian government, said the economic crisis would mean "serious problems for the middle class". He added: "There will be a fall in tax revenue which will lead to major problems for state budgets. The numbers of state employees will also be cut right back and their salaries will be worth less and less."
Another problem in Romania, as elsewhere in the region, is that many new middle-class house owners have taken out mortgages in euros. With local currencies collapsing, repayment is becoming harder.
"We will try dialogue but if that does not work we will defend our members' interest however we can," said one Romanian trade unionist last week. "We want to be part of the solution, not the problem, but the situation is very serious."
Dr Jonathan Eyal, a regional specialist at the Royal United Services Institute thinktank in London, said eastern European countries were ill-equipped to deal with the impact of the global downturn and risked "social meltdown".
"These are often fragile economies ... with brittle political structures, political parties that are not very well formed and weak institutions. They are ill-prepared for what has hit them," Eyal said. "Last year it was the core western European countries which were shaky; now it is the weaker periphery that are getting the full blast of the crisis."
The reasons for last week's unrest are varied. Bulgarian students were protesting over the death of one of their number in an apparently random criminal attack, blaming the Socialist-led government for failing to ensure security. They were joined by farmers angry at low prices for their produce and problems with EU subsidies often diverted by corrupt administrators.
Tensions have been exacerbated by the gas crisis, in which Bulgaria has suffered severe heating and power shortages since Moscow turned off the taps following a dispute with Ukraine.
"We are fed up with living in the poorest and most corrupt country," the Sofia protest organisers said in a statement. "This unique protest unites the people in their wish for change and their wish to live in a normal European country."
In Latvia, years of strong economic growth have given way to recession, soaring inflation and rising unemployment. Trust in the state's authority and officials has fallen catastrophically, said President Valdis Zatlers last week, threatening to call snap elections.
Most of those arrested in last week's disturbances in Riga have now been released. According to security police chief Janis Reiniks, the detained were "jobless, workers, students and school children" and included "one [person] connected to the Latvian Democratic Party and one skinhead".
Last year Latvia was forced to ask the International Monetary Fund for a £6.25bn bail-out package, fuelling a jingoistic backlash against a perceived "national humiliation".
Some eastern European states appear to be resisting better, however. The Estonian government built up substantial currency reserves during years of rapid growth. "Everyone knows this year is going to be very tough. But in Riga and Vilnius they are exhausted and angry and have lost faith in their leaders; that is not the case here," said Raimo Poom, political editor of Tallinn-based newspaper Esti Paevaleht.
One fear is a rise in attacks on ethnic minorities. The Czech Republic, also hit badly by the crisis, saw its worst street violence for years recently when 700 members of the far-right Workers' Party clashed with 1,000 riot police in the town of Litvinov whenthey were prevented from marching into a mostly Roma area. "The populist, nationalist political climate [in eastern Europe] is very conducive to anti-minority sentiment," said Larry Olomoofe of the European Roma Rights Centre in Budapest.
The recent history of the region aggravates the crisis, say experts. "You have people who were buoyed up through a very bad period after the collapse of the USSR, when their economies contracted by up to a third by a belief that joining the EU would bring them prosperity and stability," Eyal said.
"It is that aspiration that has been disappointed and that is very destabilising."
Population 7 million. Troubled by corruption and political instability. Dozens of people, including 14 police, injured during riots in Sofia last week.
Population 2.2 million. Centre-right government likely to call elections after riots over harsh conditions following IMF bail-out.
Population 3.5 million. Street clashes and 86 arrests after 7,000 people attended a Vilnius rally called by trade unions to protest at public sector pay cuts, reduced social security payments, an increase in VAT and an end to tax breaks on medicine and home heating.
Population 1.4 million. So far calm, and government has more reserves of cash and public confidence than elsewhere, but a 3.5% contraction in the economy in the third quarter of last year is likely to cause problems. Support for the prime minister, Andrus Ansip, and his government is falling quickly.

Space: 1999 is a classic science-fiction television show produced by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson in the mid 1970s. From the expansive Moonbase Alpha to the iconic Eagle Transporter, the design philosophy captured my imagination as a child and left me with feelings of nostalgia that linger to this day.
Space: 1999 VR is a fan made homage featuring environments and interactive set pieces from the TV show. The project is very much a work in progress with a great amount of modeling and texturing still needing to be done. There is no timeline but I plan on adding new features as time permits.
SteamVR compatible with HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, and Windows Mixed Reality headsets.
Main engine burn is GO!

Q: How to pack and unpack the structure of this tcp client I need help somewhat creating, and mostly packing and unpacking, the structure to be sent back and forth between a client and server. I'm not sure I created the structure correctly, because I'm not positive the message portion is done correctly. The packet header is the version, type, and length, all of which are 4 bytes in size, and the data is a max of 10 bytes.
struct header {
    uint32_t version;
    uint32_t type;
    uint32_t msgLen;
};

    uint32_t message;
};

A: recv() is not guaranteed to return all of the bytes you ask for.  It can return fewer bytes.  So, you need to call recv() in a loop until you receive all of the bytes you are expecting. The header is fixed in size, and presumably its msgLen tells you the size of the following data.  So you can easily know exactly how many bytes you need from recv().
Also, the data from recv() is not a null-terminated string, but your code is treating it as if it were.
Try something more like this instead:
struct header {
    uint32_t version;
    uint32_t type;
    uint32_t msgLen;
};

struct data {
    uint32_t message;

This recipe begins with the simplicity of Chinese Five-Spice Pork Ribs and is transformed into a nourishing bowl of broth spiked with plenty of ginger, oh-so-green bok choy, and morsels of spiced-just-right pork. Thanks to Zucchini Noodles, you can twirl, splash, and slurp to your heart's content.
If you don't have the patience to wait for the Five-Spice Pork Ribs to cook overnight in the slow cooker, you can use just about any cooked protein you've got on hand to make this soup quickly — roasted or grilled chicken, pork or beef — or go the seafood route with shrimp. Dinner's on in about 20 minutes!
Heat a saucepan over medium-high heat and add coconut oil. When it's melted, add the ginger and garlic, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the beef and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then simmer, covered, about 10 minutes.
To the pot, add the pork and bok choy. Stir and simmer until the bok choy is tender and the meat is hot, about 5 minutes.
To serve, place some raw zucchini noodles in the bottom of a deep bowl. Add pork, greens, and broth. Drop 1 teaspoon of ghee into the bowl, place 2 hard-boiled egg halves into the broth, and sprinkle with the scallions. Garnish with cilantro, jalapeños, and lime juice, if that's how you slurp.
I bet Lizard sauce with a little cayenne mixed in would be awesome to top this off. Of course, Lizard sauce would be excellent on ANYTHING!
Do you ever use kelp noodles instead of zucchini noodles? You have to stir fry them awhile before they're ready, but it's a nice texture once they get soft.
I'm glad you like the Lizard Sauce! You could make it like the sweet-pepper sauce on Bibimbap by pureeing it with a dried date!
I haven't used kelp noodles, but I am thinking about experimenting with sweet potato noodles. YUM!
OMG!!!! One of the biggest things I struggled to give up was Pho I feel like stumbling across this was a sign!!!
MMMMM Faux pho super good!!
This was wonderful! Even the SAD-loving man just loved it!! I'm also excited about learning about sweating and chilling the zucchini noodles. I've been troubled in the past with mushy noodles. ?
Very good1 I will try it again and again.
What other meat can I use?
What is the Ghee at the end used for?

Ohio Company of Associates
In 1786, a group of men in Massachusetts, including General Rufus Putnam and Brigadier General Benjamin Tupper, founded the Ohio Company of Associates, a real estate company. The Ohio Company of Associates was not affiliated with the earlier Ohio Company.
The Ohio Company of Associates planned to purchase land in the Northwest Territory west of a previously surveyed area called the Seven Ranges. Both Putnam and Tupper had participated in survey expeditions led by Thomas Hutchins and believed that the region had great potential for land speculation.
The company first chose Samuel Holden Parsons to represent their interests to the U.S. government, but when he was unsuccessful in his mission, the company replaced him with the Reverend Manasseh Cutler. Cutler worked with Treasury Board assistant William Duer and president of the Confederation Congress Arthur St. Clair to negotiate an arrangement for the purchase of the land. The Ohio Company of Associates purchased 1,500,000 acres of land, agreeing to pay $500,000 immediately and another $500,000 payment once survey work was finished. Congress allowed the company to pay for part of the land using military warrants. This created a very favorable arrangement for the investors since less cash was required to make the purchase. In the end, the investors paid about eight and one-half cents per acre. In order to encourage settlement of the region and create a buffer between white settlements and American Indians, Congress also gave the Ohio Company of Associates 100,000 acres that became known as the "Donation Tract." In this area, any adult white male could obtain one hundred acres of free land. Although the survey pattern was somewhat different from that of the Seven Ranges, company investors were required to set aside land in each township for education and religion as well as three sections for future government purposes. In addition, two townships were set aside for a university.
Putnam established the first Ohio Company of Associates settlement on the banks of the Ohio River. Known originally as Adelphia, the community soon became known as Marietta in honor of French Queen Marie Antoinette. To protect the settlement from attack by American Indian peoples living in and still claiming the region, the settlers built a fortification known as the Campus Martius. Many of the early settlers of Ohio Company of Associates lands came from New England. Now in Ohio, they tried to establish institutions and communities similar to those they had known in the East.
In 1804, the company established Ohio University on the land that it had set aside for that purpose. In its early years, the university only offered the equivalent of a high school education and enrollment remained low. The settlers of Marietta had greater success in establishing a new society once the Treaty of Greenville, signed in 1795, effectively forcibly evicted many of the region's American Indian peoples from the area. As the population continued to grow in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, many of the New England settlers found themselves in disagreement with people coming from Virginia and Kentucky who had different visions for the region.

PLFS Limited established in 2005 is a company based on the philosophy of consistent and continuing improvement.
The company was founded by its two Directors and shareholders in October 2005 to fill a gap in the market to provide furniture and white goods to the property lettings market in Essex and London.
The company leased its warehouse and office unit in Rignals Lane, Galleywood on a short 2 year lease. The labour force at the time consisted of the 2 Directors Ken Larkins and Barrie Lovett with David Evans for sales and Ben Larkins responsible for the warehouse and deliveries. The company was started without any client base and after 6 months of trading the first year end accounts at 31st March 2006 showed sales of £112,202. A modest start but through hard work and dedication by these initial 4 people the company branched out into providing carpet and other floor coverings as well as curtains and blinds for windows.
In 2011 the company made a decision to invest in a detailed Health and Safety policy and to become ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 accredited, to ensure the future commitment by all its employees to Quality and Customer Service.
The company has increased its turnover and profitability year on year with the last year end accounts at 31st March 2014 showing a turnover of £1.6 million with the original 4 staff plus an additional 16 employees servicing clients through out mainland Britain.
In 2013 the company moved from its rented warehouse in Galleywood to a 14,000 square foot warehouse in Basildon, with extensive office facilities which they own.
The company has launched a new initiative working closly with existing customers housing development divisions offering furniture packages for first time buyers and shared ownership customers. This initiative will help to acheive a projected turnover at March 2015 of £2.1 million.

Gareth Fantastic riffing and some one of the best bridges I've heard in years! Fortune Teller is fabulous ballad.
Sonny92 The first two tracks are pretty decent, classic-sounding Candlemass. Track three, Fortuneteller, unfortunately comes on like some horrible eighties power ballad and track four is a short, riffy instrumental. Worth the money for the first two tracks alone.


VisioN is now recruiting for round 22 of planetarion. I will be brief so you wont be bored reading this. We are looking for team spirited players who wish to improve their gameplay. This includes returning players. We are willing to take you on if you are willing to be active. We define activity in terms of sending night defence between 2am - 6am UK time. If you can do this, you will benefit from good levels of defence in return. We work on the basis that you get back from what you put in. No one gets preferential treatment. You will not be forced to defend the same old defence leeching planets who do not defend in return.
We have daily attacks which are compulsory for every member to join.. There will be sometimes where the targets are not to your taste.. Let us be clear, you are required to sometimes make sacrifices for the greater good, in order to achieve good coverage. Even if your uber attack fleet doesn't land, your fleets can deflect defence away from others, and it is in this sense that we are looking for team players. We are not looking for people who will moan if they are asked to attack an undesirable target occasionally. If you are not willing to attack together with your alliance mates, then we cant take you on.
Pm GJN / Sovereign / Apoam or hooter in #Vision if the ^^ is appealing.
GJN, on behalf of VisioN High Command.
How good are VisioN these days anyway, I mean are we talking top3 alliances?
Find More Posts by AV.
Well, at least you're prompt, I think you'll be great this season. In fact, I'm so confident, I'm not going to ask to join. What an endorsement!
Well, we're probably not a top 3 alliance as Visionaries are more interested in having fun. Planetarion isnt the only game we play, either, so ideally people who are looking to join a community of mates as opposed to a group of leet hardc0re PA players would be more desireable. Having said that, we play to have fun, and winning is fun, so we still play agressively like everyone else, though we do enjoy our more crazy moments .
As for the top 3, well it really depends on who you ask. Last round's results would suggest Wolfpack, Ascendency and CT, however Angels and that new alliance whose name i've forgotten right at the moment, would both be top contenders.
Last round, although Vision came down the ranks a fair way, we only had about half the number of players as everyone else (and being targeted by the headline alliances too, <3 JBG, Jer ) - despite this, Vision had a very competitive average score/value/roid count. But ranks dont mean as much as people do - ranks (and roids) come and go, but friendships last forever .

Bread Clothing, Bread Art and More – Here's the News
In some countries, like Sudan, bread is in worryingly short supply. In others, like the US, it's as widely available as ever, so much so that people are playing with it to create haute couture. What a wonderfully bizarre sector we work in. Here's the latest bread news.
Bread dress causes consternation in NYC
Calling all bread-loving females… would you leave the house dressed in a frock made from bread? As reported on Cosmopolitan magazine's website, one woman did exactly that in New York City recently, just for fun. Apparently the dress caused a 'ruckus' and the public gathered around to take photos. You can watch a video of the dress being created here. If you find you're utterly fascinated by the whole idea of edible clothing, all you need to do is search Google Images for 'bread dress' and a slew of amazing fashion items made from bread pop up. Weird.
Khartoum's bakeries forced to close
Search for a loaf in the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, and you'll encounter the results of a serious flour shortage that's now in its second week. People are queueing for hours at the few bakeries that are still open, but most leave empty handed. Why the shortage? Apparently it's all down to flour shortages, electricity cuts and 'other disruptions'.
Sudan imports more than two million tons of wheat every year. In autumn 2016 the Sudanese government withdrew from the international wheat market, cancelled restrictions on the free import of wheat and ended their control over sales of domestic wheat and flour, also abolishing the minimum weight for a slice of bread. When they 'liberalised' the US Dollar rate for import goods in November 2016, importing wheat suddenly became a lot less profitable and flour prices soared.
Why doesn't bread make you drunk?
You make beer. You make bread. The ingredients are much the same. And every yeast-based bread contains some alcohol. So why don't we end up as drunk as skunks after consuming a slice or two of our favourite loaf?
We've noticed it ourselves: rising dough does smell wonderfully boozy, and you can also pick up the scent of alcohol in freshly-baked bread, hiding under all that wonderful yeasty nuttiness. The thing is, baking dough removes most of the alcohol, leaving just 2% or so of residual alcohol behind. You can maximise the effect by leaving your white bread dough to rise for too long. The resulting loaf will be pretty damn boozy. But while it might sound like fun, the result is actually very unpleasant!
The World Bread Congress takes place in Mexico
In October 2017 the 77th World Bread Congress takes place in Merida, Mexico, attracting industry leaders from four continents along with a host of bakers, suppliers and bakery owners. The event will address the strategies needed to succeed in a world rich in new challenges, where globalisation is the name of the game and innovation and change are at the top of the menu.
London's Felix Project joins the bread beer revolution
Beer made from bread? As we've reported in the past, it's nothing new. But it's a growing trend, and The Standard newspaper is jumping on bread beer's very worthwhile bandwagon. They've teamed up with a craft brewery called Weird Beard to create a gorgeous pale ale, a charity beer made from bread donated by the London-based Felix Project anti food waste charity. The beer is called Bread Banger. The brewery is going to donate half the profits from their 'incredible-tasting' light, fruity summer ale back to The Felix Project, and the ale is on sale through a selection of London pubs and shops.
You've got to love bread scoring – Bread art is hot on Instagram!
What is bread scoring? It's when you slash raw dough with a knife to create patterns, and it's a classic baking technique. It can also make bread look like a work of art, and Instagram users have adopted it with enthusiasm. If you want to spend time enjoying the sheer beauty of artistically-scored breads, just hook up with the Instagram hashtag #breadscoring and enjoy some splendidly creative culinary art.

Take your off-road riding to the next level with the Paratrooper Pro. With plenty of gears for climbing and 100mm of travel in the front shocks to absorb the bumps of off-road trails, you'll be ready to tackle the toughest terrain. Just like the original Paratrooper, the Paratrooper Pro is known for its durability and load bearing capabilities, and has also developed a following with everyday commuters and weekend warriors.
Clever integration of the patented CLIX System allows the Paratrooper Pro to be folded in under 20 seconds without the use of tools. A flip of the CLIX quick release lever on the top tube and the bike folds to a compact size.
Montague Folding Integrated Technology (F.I.T.™):The Paratrooper Pro frame is designed around a patented folding system. This design eliminates the need to break the frame in order to fold the bike. Not only does this make folding easier but it makes this bike the strongest folding bike on the market. The Folding Integrated Technology (F.I.T.) is based around frame construction concepts designed for serious full suspension downhill bikes.


FACT: What is a thunderhead? Since it's the name of this website, I feel it should be explained. A thunderhead is slang for a cumulonimbus cloud that has grown into a thunderstorm. This happens when a cumulonimbus cloud grows high into the atmosphere, eventually reaching a layer of the atmosphere called the tropopause. The cloud can't grow any higher at this point, so it fans out horizontally, giving the storm an anvil-like shape. This is called a thunderhead, usually referring to a storm you can see off in the distance.
MYTH: Tornadoes can't go over hills or mountains, pass over water, go through valleys, hit cities, etc. FACT: Tornadoes don't care, they do what they want. While they don't occur as often as tornadoes in the flat Great Plains, tornadoes can and do occur in hilly and mountainous areas. There have been many recorded occurrences of tornadoes in the Rockies and in the Appalachians. And just as they can occur in mountains, they can occur in valleys as well. They can also cross ponds, lakes, streams, rivers, etc. While typically they travel from the southwest to the northeast, tornadoes can move in any direction, move over areas they have already hit, and even remain stationary in some instances. Cities and large metropolitan areas are not immune from tornadoes either. While cities may seem big, they cover a relatively small surface area when it comes to the entire U.S., which decreases their odds of being hit. Also, most tornadoes occur in the Great Plains, which is sparsely populated compared to the highly populated eastern-third of the country, also lowering the chance of metropolitan areas being hit. However, there are many examples of tornadoes hitting cities such as St. Louis, Dallas, Oklahoma City, Chicago, and more.
FACT: Flash flooding is the most deadly weather-related hazard. Most people believe that tornadoes are the greatest danger when it comes to severe weather, when in fact, flash flooding kills nearly twice as many people as tornadoes do on average. These high fatality rates are primarily due to people driving their vehicles through flooded roadways. It only takes 12 inches of rushing water to carry away a car. Therefore, when you see roads barricaded due to flooding, don't drive around the barricades. There's a reason why they're there. The next most common cause of fatalities in flash floods is people standing too close to or walking into the rushing water. It only takes 6 inches of rushing water to knock down and sweep away an adult. Find out more about flash flooding HERE.
MYTH: A green sky is a sign that a tornado is coming. FACT: While green skies can indicate that severe weather is near, it does not always mean that a tornado is imminent. A green sky can be a sign of hail or heavy rain. If you see a green sky (rather, a storm with a green, blue, or turquoise hue), seek shelter and then tune into a local TV or radio station to find out if severe weather is threatening your area.
FACT: The Polar Vortex became a buzz word and was added to everyone's vocabulary during early January 2014 when much of the U.S. experienced temperatures well below freezing and snow. I know they were the coldest temperatures I've experienced in my relatively short lifetime. However, even though the phrase "Polar Vortex" was thrown around constantly then, and manages to make it into the news during cold snaps since, what it actually is seems to be unknown to many people. It's not some crazy, swirling tornado or hurricane of snow and cold air. The Polar Vortex is a persistent area of low-pressure that hangs out over the Arctic and contains very, very cold air. It has always been there and is there year-round; however, it is more prominent in the middle latitudes in the winter when the jet stream moves closer to the equator. Not every cold-snap is directly associated with the Polar Vortex, but they can commonly be attributed to pieces of the Polar Vortex that break off and dip southward into the U.S., i.e. a "dip in the jet stream", as your local meteorologist may call it. These dips in the jet stream provide the shots of cold air and sometimes snow that we experience in the winter, and that is what happened in January 2014. If you would like to know more information on the Polar Vortex and how it impacts the weather, click HERE.
MYTH: Tornadoes and other severe weather events only happen during the spring in the U.S. FACT: While it is more likely to occur in the spring, severe weather can happen at any time of the year anywhere in the U.S. This can lead to higher injury and fatality rates from tornadoes and severe weather during the winter months due to people letting their guard down because they think it can't happen in any season other than spring. Similarly, severe weather can also occur at any time throughout the day, including the overnight hours. While tornadoes and other types of severe weather happen less often overnight than they do during the day, they tend to cause more injuries and fatalities when occurring overnight because most people are sleeping and unaware of the potential danger they're in. That's why it is important to keep tabs on the weather every day and night and have a NOAA Weather Radio or Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) active on your phone to help alert you of warnings and watches at all times of the day.
FACT: Severe thunderstorm and tornado watches are issued by the Storm Prediction Center when atmospheric conditions are prime for possibly producing severe thunderstorms and/or tornadoes. Watches are often large, spanning many counties, and can include parts of several states where meteorologists believe that severe weather may occur over the next several hours. Severe thunderstorm, tornado, and flash flood warnings are issued by your local National Weather Service Weather Forecast Office. These are issued immediately ahead of storms that are producing or potentially producing large hail, high winds, tornadoes, or heavy rain. Warnings typically last no longer than an hour and often only include about a county or two. Always be sure to pay attention to these warnings, as they could save you from injury or death. More information on watches and warnings can be found HERE.
MYTH: Seeking shelter from a tornado under an overpass is a good idea. FACT: This is incredibly wrong. Do not ever seek shelter under an overpass if you feel you are about to be hit by a tornado. Why? Look at it this way: if you have a garden hose with the water running, it doesn't have much force, right? But if you put your thumb partially over the opening, it causes the water to come out at a greater force. That's how the winds in a tornado work when they are forced under an overpass. They can increase in speed, causing it to be more dangerous to be under the overpass than it would be to be out in the open. If you are driving and know that a tornado is moving toward you, and you have no other way of getting away from it, get out of your vehicle and lay in the lowest possible area you can find, preferably a ditch. You can access a web page created by The National Weather Service in Norman, OK HERE that gives examples as to why sheltering under an overpass in a tornado is a bad idea.
FACT: Tornado sirens are only meant to be heard outdoors. The sirens are sounded by county officials when a tornado warning has been issued for their county. They are NOT controlled by the National Weather Service, who issues the warnings. While the sirens are quite loud and can be heard indoors when conditions are right or if you live close to one, you should never solely rely on them to warn you of hazardous weather in the area. NOAA Weather Radios can be programmed to alert you of hazardous weather, and WEA alerts on your phone can do the same.
MYTH: Heat lightning occurs at night during the summer because it is hot outside. FACT: "Heat lightning" is just lightning strikes that are hundreds of miles away. The sound of the thunder produced by these strikes does not carry far enough to reach your ears, which is why you can see a flash, but hear no sound. All lightning bolts or flashes originate from storms, and all lightning bolts create thunder, whether you can personally hear it or not.
FACT: There are several different types of lightning. Cloud-to-ground lightning is the most well-known and what causes injuries, deaths, and damages associated with lightning strikes. There is also intra-cloud lightning, which occurs within a storm, and cloud-to-cloud lightning, which is a strike between storms. Depending on where they originate within the storm, these strikes can have a positive or negative charge, which affects the amount of energy they carry. There are also some really weird, crazy types of lightning that occur above storms called sprites, blue jets, and elves (trust me, I'm not making these up).
MYTH: "Don't like the weather in (insert your state/area here), just wait a day". Sorry to burst your bubble, but if you live in the U.S., this line applies to mostly anywhere. I've heard people say this across the country. However, most likely your area is not unique, as the weather can have wild changes over the course of a day in Chicago, IL, just as it can in Amarillo, TX. This is especially true in the fall and spring. The way that weather patterns work, typically an area will experience a warm-up right before experiencing a cool-down. Shortly after this cool-down, an area will then become warmer again and the pattern continues. The length and strength of these periods of cooler or warmer temperatures, and the precipitation that accompanies them, depends on the time of year in which they occur, as well as the strength of the pattern. It can happen over the course of a week, day, or even hours.

September 2018 Quiz
Age: This rather small and compact gull displays a full tailband and brown-washed wing coverts. We can feel safe aging it as a 1st cycle. Of course extended views would be desired to better age our gull.
Identification: There's no question that this is a hooded species. Of note is the solid-patterned upperwing (right wing). It lacks a carpal bar, eliminating species such as Bonaparte's, Little and Black-headed. The bold eye crescents and semi-hooded appearance scream Franklin's Gull. Also supportive of Franklin's (over Laughing Gull) is the clean white wing linings and hind neck. If we zoom in, the tailband on Franklin's almost never reaches the outermost edge of the outer tail feathers, as is the case here.
This 1st cycle Franklin's Gull was photographed in Chicago, Illinois. October.
Little & Ross's Gulls - Back to Bills
At first glance it's easy to agree that Little and Ross's Gulls appear to have some shared derived traits, especially in juvenile plumage. However, these two are each placed in their own, montoypic, genera by the AOU. Little Gull is a hooded (or masked gull) and shows unique osteological features. Ross's is without a hood and has been under Rhodostethia for as long as anyone can remember. Little was placed in Larus for over 100 years until recently, and is now Hydrocoloeus.
I thought of this post last night while talking to someone about the tern-like bill of Bonaparte's. One question after another and we were soon talking about Ross's and Little. Ross's Gull has the smallest and daintiest bill of any gull species. Proportionally, then, we might say Little Gull's bill isn't so little. Check it out:
1st Cycle Female Little Gull (top) and 1st Cycle Male Ross's Gull (bottom).
Los Angeles Natural History Museum. Photo Amar Ayyash
Although males average bigger bills than female conspecifics, this male ROGU still comes up short. Here are the numbers: Male/Female ROGU average bill size 19.6/19.2 mm; Male/Female LIGU average bill size 23.2/22.9 mm (Olsen & Larsson 2003).
Rounded Primary Tips on 1st Cycle Gulls
We often point out (no pun intended) that 1st cycle gulls come equipped with pointed primary tips. In my experience, this age-related characteristic is more reliable on resting birds. And even then, it's not apparent in all individuals.
In flight, the shape of the primary tips is often a function of several variables - mainly behavior.
Take for instance these two hatch year Herring Gulls, and consider the shape of their outermost primaries.
Notice the pointed, saw-toothed, shape of the primary tips on the first bird. This is quite typical in this age group. The second bird shows blunt-shaped and rounded primary tips. How could this be? Are we to throw away the usefulness of this criterion to help age 1st cycle gulls? Not at all. Just as with most field marks, we will always find exceptions. Another reminder to always use a suite of characters and never put too much stock in one single feature. The overall pristine wing coverts and immaculate flight feathers all favor a 1st cycle.
Okay, your turn. How would you age this Herring Gull?
The bicolored bill and pale eye are dead giveaways in this case. The rounded primary tips are but support for what is obviously a 2nd cycle type individual. This bird shows a rather retarded pattern, overall, with wing coverts and an uppertail pattern that look much like a 1st cycle.
A takeaway from this last photo should be, how would one age this Herring if it had a dark eye, or an all dark bill? What plumage features might we use? I'll follow up with a post on this very same aging question soon. Thanks for making it this far, and Happy Fall!
Kelp Gulls at the John Ball Zoo
I spent last weekend on gull patrol in the Holland, Michigan region, but not without taking a short detour to the John Ball Zoo in Grand Rapids. Why the John Ball Zoo? It is the last AZA Zoo in North America that has Kelp Gulls in its collection, making this a must visit destination for any gull enthusiast.
Male Kelp Gull - "Sunny".
Upon my arrival I met with David Blasziewicz who has been at the zoo for 22 years. David was a wealth of information and shared with me everything I wanted to know about these birds.
The remaining Kelps - two individuals, Sunny and Max - were actually collected in the wild as eggs on the South Shetland Islands of Antarctica, hatched in San Diego, and eventually made their way to JBZ. They are now 35 years old, which almost surely is the longevity record for KEGUs in captivity.
Female Kelp Gull - "Maxine"
I was able to learn through David that the zoo has the birds on a North American photo schedule. The hours of light the birds receive is controlled by a computer, made to mirror what naturally occurs at this latitude. Thus, their molt schedules are on par with local birds in the wild. I asked David if any of the Kelps they've had at the zoo have ever escaped or successfully nested: No to both inquiries.
Here, Sunny is asserting his dominance, breaking out in a long call as he did every 10 minutes or so.
It's inevitable that these birds will eventually perish (from natural causes) and the zoo will in all likelihood not be replacing them. That's unfortunate seeing that this is the most widespread gull species in the southern hemisphere.
A very special thank you to David for taking the time to meet with me and tell me all about these special birds!

August 2018 Quiz
Age: Focusing on the two individuals with heads upright, we can be fairly confident these are adult, large white-headed gulls (LWHG).
Identification: The black-backed gull should be the easier to identify from this duo. Given its relative size, we should readily dismiss Great Black-backed Gull. This appears to be a slim and long-winged gull. The red gonys spot is enlarged and the bill itself is relatively straight with virtually no expansion at the gonys. The streaking on the face is made up of thin, pencil-like, streaks. All of these features make this yellow-eyed critter a Lesser Black-backed Gull
The noticeably larger gull to the left with paler gray upperparts is superficially similar to a Herring, but it isn't one. Notice the black on the primaries is not a jet black like the other gulls in the photo. That, along with the extensive white on the primaries should convince us we may have something other than a Herring in view. The darkish eye and greenish tinge to the bill match up nicely with Thayer's Iceland Gull, as does the extent of pigment on the primaries.
Our August Quiz photo is indeed of a Thayer's Gull (left) and Lesser Black-backed Gull (right).

Q: Terraform for-each with map of objects and a list I would need to have implemented nested for-each loop to define service accounts map(object) what are planned to get created and also what key users visibility will have an access to a secret stored in Azure Key Vault set for RBAC containing it's passwords
I checked multiple articles and tried to apply them however failed to make it work.
The problem here is to get to individual principal_id when for-each is there already in place
Variable definition:
variable "user_collection" {
  type = map(object({
      name       = string,
      role       = string,
      namespace  = string,
      warehouse  = string,
      ## What user (ObjectID within AAD should have access to generated password)
      visibility = list(string)
    }))
}

Values provision, here I am trying to provide access to user's password to two people:
module "SVC_USERS" {
  source              = "./user-module"
  user_collection   = {
    user_1 = {
    name       = "TEST_SVC_1"
    namespace  = "ADMINISTRATION"
    role       = "PUBLIC"
    warehouse  = "ADMIN_WH"
    visibility = ["b9ad7db3-ea64-4815-aad5-a5a72b5bbee9", "d634ebdf-6928-427c-9678-fc3bad8eccc4"]
  }
 }
}

Setting up of role based access to the created secret
# Provide access to see generated passwords for key users
resource "azurerm_role_assignment" "secret_access_provision" {
  for_each             = var.user_collection
  scope                = "${module.variables.keyVault-id}/secrets/${replace(each.value["name"] , "_", "-")}"
  role_definition_name = "Key Vault Secrets User"
  principal_id = each.value.visibility
}

A: If I am understanding you correctly, I believe you need to flatten the product of the user objects with each visibility id. You can do so like this, I believe.
note: I have shown an abbreviated version of the user_collection as a local, but you can replace local.user_collection with var.
locals {
  user_collection = {
    user_1 = {
      name       = "TEST_SVC_1"
      visibility = ["b9ad7db3-ea64-4815-aad5-a5a72b5bbee9", "d634ebdf-6928-427c-9678-fc3bad8eccc4"]
    }
  }

  user_vis = flatten([
    for user, cfg in local.user_collection : [
      for id in cfg.visibility : {
        user = user
        cfg  = cfg
        id   = id
      }
    ]
  ])
}

Then you can do something like this:
resource "azurerm_role_assignment" "secret_access_provision" {
  for_each = { for uv in local.user_vis : "${uv.user}-${uv.id}" => uv }

  scope                = "${module.variables.keyVault-id}/secrets/${replace(each.value.cfg.name, "_", "-")}"
  role_definition_name = "Key Vault Secrets User"
  principal_id         = each.value.id
}

Where you will get one azurerm_role_assignment per user / visibility combination.

Since, I cannot get test azure outputs for clarification, I created this output for illustration.
output "user_vis" {
  value = { for uv in local.user_vis : "${uv.user}-${uv.id}" => uv }
}

Which gives:
Changes to Outputs:
  + user_vis = {
      + user_1-b9ad7db3-ea64-4815-aad5-a5a72b5bbee9 = {
          + cfg  = {
              + name       = "TEST_SVC_1"
              + visibility = [
                  + "b9ad7db3-ea64-4815-aad5-a5a72b5bbee9",
                  + "d634ebdf-6928-427c-9678-fc3bad8eccc4",
                ]
            }
          + id   = "b9ad7db3-ea64-4815-aad5-a5a72b5bbee9"
          + user = "user_1"
        }
      + user_1-d634ebdf-6928-427c-9678-fc3bad8eccc4 = {
          + cfg  = {
              + name       = "TEST_SVC_1"
              + visibility = [
                  + "b9ad7db3-ea64-4815-aad5-a5a72b5bbee9",
                  + "d634ebdf-6928-427c-9678-fc3bad8eccc4",
                ]
            }
          + id   = "d634ebdf-6928-427c-9678-fc3bad8eccc4"

Justin Guiffre: Involving election losers
By Justin Guiffre Mar 3, 2008 12:00 AM
It seems almost fitting that a campus that loves elections so much couldn't stop at just one in deciding the next Student Association president. After an intense campaigning cycle, we will be subjected to more days of fliers, posters and the occasional free water bottle with a candidate's name plastered all over them.
But now that most of the elections have been decided, it will be important for all of the new elected officials, as well as the potential SA president, to gain something out of the election process. I'm not just talking about another Facebook friend or leftover candy from the Kogan Plaza vote-courting; we're talking about gaining perspective, new ideas and ways to incorporate important initiatives – even from the losing candidates.
For all the talk of student apathy towards the SA, there were still campaign workers in Kogan at 10 p.m. in the 28-degree night supporting their candidate. Our new SA officials need to find what ideas our students were absolutely passionate about that motivated them to stand through the cold all day. Those ideas, even if part of a losing candidate's platform, should not die with their candidates. If the SA does not want to lose these qualified and devoted individuals to other causes or programs both on- and off-campus, the next president should not hesitate to involve these defeated candidates in places where they can be productive and continue to showcase their value to the student body.
Looking over the candidates' announcements and proposals, I think that it is clear what specific things students were looking. After this year we want a candidate devoted to practical changes and someone who shows the agility to tackle unforeseen issues (mandatory J Street spending anyone?). But more than anything for the SA, and for GW as a whole, we want a sense of unity, the ability to have pride in our student leaders and our community.
Sure, everybody had a lot to say about unifying our divided campus, unifying our patchwork campus; the candidates are eager to unify just about anything they can. But after so much talk it will be a great measure of the candidates,' quality, both elected and not, to follow through with that pledge. Just because a candidate didn't win doesn't mean that they should stop trying to be involved. After building such strong student followings it would be pure waste to do anything but keep those connections working to help the SA and student body as a whole bridge those gaps.
And unlike years past, there has been an actual change in the system for unity and teamwork like never before. The abolition of the slate system, besides changing the actual election process, will change the way the SA can work. Instead of coming in with voting blocs and agendas, the process will be open – paving the way for cooperation like never before.
Now that the ballots have been counted, a moment of truth will come for many of those elected. We saw so much passion and excitement during the campaigns; now the challenge will be to translate that motivation from the campaign trail to the SA meetings. They need to reach out to those who lost but were able to create such strong student support for what they brought to the table. Even if somebody doesn't hold a title, they can still be influential on campus. Conversely, just because a student holds a title doesn't mean they alone understand all of the desires and motivations of the student body.

How to Invest in 2013 Without Losing Your Shirt
By Steve Christ, Executive Editor, Money Morning • February 5, 2013
What a long, strange trip it has been. Roughly four years after falling to 6,600, the Dow pushed back above 14,000 last week.
Of course, you would think that such a climb would be cause for some euphoria. But reading the mail that comes into Money Morning each day leaves me with another impression entirely.
Judging from the comments, it's clear to me that investors are struggling at the moment with how to make sense of these markets. Worse, an overwhelming majority are now afraid that the rally will leave them behind.
The undercurrent is a familiar friend called fear, and its cousin, confidence. Neither eliminates the need to grow their wealth.
So, what's an individual investor to do? How can you compete in today's brave new financial world?
I put those questions to Chief Investment Strategist Keith Fitz-Gerald last week and wasn't disappointed.
Point by point, Keith explained how retail investors can safely participate in these markets without losing their shirts.
It's embodied by his "Money Map Method," a proven strategy for building wealth in today's tough markets.
Here's what Keith had to say:
1. Concentrate on what the world needs as opposed to what it wants.
With the markets near all-time highs, many investors think they need to chase performance. So they buy the latest and greatest media darlings. But what they should be doing is concentrating on companies that are boring, predictable and full of cash.
Don't get me wrong. We all want to dive into the deep end in pursuit of profits. The trick is doing so in such a way that you don't suffer the occasional belly flop that comes along when the markets get overheated, like they are now.
Many people hear me say this and think I'm advocating market timing. I'm not. Study after study has shown that market timing is not only an exercise in futility but can leave you significantly poorer for having attempted to do so.
What I am talking about is investing in solid, globally diversified companies with fortress-like balance sheets and high dividends. While I encourage people to do this on the way up, doing so when the markets appear top heavy is really important. The goal is not to sacrifice upside, but rather to build in downside protection. The simplest way to do that is to pick up shares in less volatile companies with product offerings in sectors that are backed by trillions of dollars in spending that is necessary as opposed to expenditures that will be discretionary in the years ahead.
2. Keep a cash cushion
The feeling that the train is leaving the station is one of the worst when it comes to making bad choices. Wall Street knows this and has spent gobs of money figuring out the science of neuro-economics, which is a very fancy way of saying they know exactly what buttons to push to separate you from your money.
Wall Street doesn't do anything halfheartedly — nor do they expect you to. In fact, they want you to go "all in" every time you invest because doing so helps them make more money.
Trading commissions go up, portfolio management fees go up. Not surprisingly, so does the opportunity to trade directly against you – and, yes, Wall Street still does that on an alarmingly regular basis.
The best defense is to make sure you are never "all in" on anything, and that you have put aside a cash cushion. The last thing you want to do is to have to sell something prematurely if there's a hiccup.
Besides, having cash set aside allows you to buy in on really bad days when companies are put on sale and the upside, ironically, is at its best.
3. Concentrate your assets rather than spreading your money around
Traditional diversification strategies are completely wrong. They are based on the allocation of capital with no regard for risk. As a result, they are frequently and often completely out of line with financial conditions, which can change month by month, or even hour by hour.
Consider a classic 60/40 portfolio of stocks and bonds, for example. For years that was okay because people simply split their capital into chunks between the two asset classes, not realizing that the 60% in stocks translated into 90% of the risk being carried by their equities.
By contrast, The Money Map Method's 50-40-10 portfolio is focused on a group of core economic realities – equities, interest-rate instruments, income production, commodities and systemic credit. This focus makes the overall portfolio less susceptible to economic downturns because the risk is much more evenly distributed.
Further, because The Money Map Method requires that we constantly rebalance our risk, we can easily shift with varying market phases – growth, contraction, inflation and even sentiment-driven events – all without placing significant portions of our capital at risk.
Folks using traditional diversification models can't say that.
What they're doing is more akin to rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. Cases in point: In 2000 and 2008/2009, when the entire world got a big fat margin call and everything went down at once.
I think that's a travesty. I don't believe any investor who properly manages his or her risks has to suffer the ravages of a bear market or take a catastrophic loss. Don't get me wrong, though. Let's be right up front about this – there is no such thing as risk-free investing. Period.
Every investment involves risk – but, and this is my key point, not all risks are worth the investment.
4. Rebalance quarterly
Many investors get very greedy when the markets go on an extended run. Consequently, they often take on fresh risks when the much easier and more profitable path to take may involve simply rebalancing risk among existing investments.
Here's an example that might help. Let's say you're following the 50-40-10 Portfolio I advocate in our sister publication, the Money Map Report. After a major stock run up, the 40% portion may have ballooned to 60%. That means that the recommendations making up the 50% portion would now comprise only 35% of your holdings. In the same way, the 10% may have dropped to only 5%.
Instead of chasing a new stock with a fresh set of unknowns, savvy investors would sell off the "extra" 20% and redistribute it by buying up to reestablish the 50% and the 10%.
Rebalancing works because it helps capture excess growth, forces you to take profits and reinvest in undervalued holdings.
Over time, this helps harvest "excess" volatility and can contribute significantly to a portfolio that grows faster in aggregate than any one of its single components would.
5. Retrain your brain
Psychologists and physicians will tell you that the emotional response to watching a stock go up is very similar to what happens in a drug or alcohol addict's mind when they are presented with the next "fix" or "tipple."
And the response to a stock's drop is quite similar to the "down" following the end of the addict's rush. There's a pronounced change in our physiology, thanks to the release of dopamine in our brains.
This interferes with our ability to think logically and can actually prevent investors who don't understand this from making clearly reasoned decisions.
Harvard scientist Jennifer Lerner recently published a study in the November 13 Issue of Psychological Science noting that, "Sadness can make people shortsighted when it comes to financial decisions."
Her research showed that sad or emotionally upset participants earned significantly less money in experiments versus non-sad folks.
Because fear and greed – two of the most prevalent emotions right now – produce neuro-economic responses that actually work against you. That's why one of the single most important things investors can do right now is learn to override the emotional inputs Wall Street counts on, tapping into the value of long-term profitability instead of letting decisions be ruled by short-term emotions.
Take the events of March 2009, for example. Fearing the worst, investors sold out $50 billion in equities. The news was full of Armageddon-like stories and end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it hype that created tremendous emotional stress.
Wall Street, which not only thrives on commissions, but also actively trades against its clients, was glad to take the bet.
The big brokerages were able to pick up valuable stocks on the cheap from panicked investors anxious to sell at any price. Commission income and asset-planning-service revenues shot up as brokers actively encouraged their clients to head for the hills, swapping equities for gold and bonds and everything else for cash.
Many now understand, if only begrudgingly, what a mistake they made.
Had they stayed in the game and bought in as I encouraged our Money Map Report family to do, they would have reaped the benefits of a roughly 115% run up (based on the S&P 500 Index) from March 6, 2009, to Sept. 14, 2012, recovering most, if not all, of their losses.
It's always important to look beyond the immediate crisis and seize the opportunity that goes with it.
As we wrapped up our conversation, Keith explained very simply, "If you play by the old rules you'll lose. But if you understand the new rules you can still win."
But here's the thing: You can't win it unless you're willing to come in off the sidelines. The "Money Map Method" makes that quite a bit easier once you understand how it can be used to substantially limit your risk and still produce some very appealing gains, especially now when the markets could roll over…again.

When you live in Tucson, AZ, you don't have the winter weather that your neighbors in the northern states have. This means that you won't have to wait for the ground to dry out before beginning your spring yard cleanup. When it comes to spring lawn care, you'll need to start by raking your lawn to remove any leaves and debris. Here a few things you can do to ensure a healthy lawn this spring in Tucson.
Once you've raked your yard thoroughly, then you can see where your problem areas lie. There could be bare patches from neglect, high traffic or from your dog using the yard as a bathroom. If you have these spots, overseed your lawn by applying grass seed to the places which are bare. This is typically more successful in the fall. But if the spots are severe, you may have to overseed in the spring, so weeds don't crop up in the problem areas.
If you've noticed an area in your yard which is uneven, you can repair that too. Because low spots can cause poor drainage and high places can be scalped by your mower, you can fill in low areas and remove areas which are too high. If you do this, it will improve the growing conditions for grass.
Plus, in a high traffic area, the soil can become compacted. When the dirt is densely packed, then the grass has a hard time taking root. This will let weeds overpower the grass and take over. To see if you have this problem in Tucson, take a garden fork and stick it in the ground. If the tines of the fork don't go into the ground two inches, then your soil is compacted. It will need to be loosened by using an aerator on your lawn which will remove small plugs of soil from your yard.
Another issue you may have when preparing your lawn in the spring is thatch. Thatch is common among spreading grasses like Bermuda and Zoysia. The roots are tangled above ground in a mat which makes it difficult for nutrients and water to reach the soil properly. You can use a rake which is created to break up thatch or if you have a large job, a mechanized dethatcher is better to use.
When spring is in the air in Tucson, you may wonder how to transition your winter Ryegrass into Bermuda grass. These are two separate grass types, so in the spring as the ryegrass dies down, the Bermuda grass starts to grow. One thing you don't want to do is to not water your grass for a week, so the ryegrass dries out. This will cause the water supply to stop for the Bermuda grass which is still hibernating. If your ryegrass is wilting, don't increase the water supply because this will make the ryegrass grow instead of going into hibernating.
If you scalp your lawn with your lawnmower in hopes of starting new growth, this will kill both the ryegrass and the Bermuda grass. Then nothing will be growing in your yard but weeds.
If you want to successfully transition your grasses in the spring, then start by monitoring your temperatures. When nighttime temperatures are higher than 65 at night consistently, then you can begin transitioning. Cut back on your watering by 70-80%, so the ryegrass starts to stress, but the Bermuda grass will start to come out of hibernation. Also, to open up the canopy of your lawn, lightly verticut (slicing motion versus punching) it.
Next, aerate the lawn so the water can penetrate better and increase the intake of nutrients. When mowing, lower your mower settings and step up your mowing intervals to twice a week, so your grass remains between ½ inch to ¾ inches. Bag all the clippings, so it doesn't create a mat to prevent the Bermuda grass from growing. If you have shady areas in your yard, monitor the growth of the ryegrass and maintain a low mowing height. If not, the Ryegrass will take over, and Bermuda grass won't get its sunlight. Fertilize and increase the watering schedule, after two weeks the Bermuda grass should outgrow the ryegrass.
Adequately preparing your lawn in the spring will give you a lush green lawn for the summer months. Need additional help with your spring lawn care? Visit our Tucson lawn care page for more information!
