Eight ways to get your kids into the garden this summer
Get your little ones to help with planting
As the school holidays beckon, designer Ann-Marie Powell
shares top tips with Hannah Stephen for getting youngsters outdoors
Create a veg patch close to the trampoline
The thoughts of school holidays fill some parents with dread - but if
you can get your kids engaged in gardening, or at least off their
screens and into the fresh air, the weeks will fly by.
And award-winning garden designer and mother-of-two Ann-Marie Powell -
who is designing the BBC Countryfile's 30th anniversary garden at this
year's RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show - says wildlife and
growing-your-own could be just the magnet you need to lure youngsters
Here, she shares 8 ways to get your kids into the garden this summer...
1. Create a veg patch near play equipment
"We have a little veg plot at the end of our garden where all the herbs are, and I always grow food particularly for them to scrump. The plot is close to their trampoline, so they go down there and I'll say, 'Boys, while you're down there can you get me some basil', or, 'Pick me some peas', or whatever is in season.
"Now they know all of the herbs and veg and they notice wildlife like ladybirds. We encourage as much wildlife as possible in the garden. It doesn't have to be hard-to-grow stuff. I grow peas and beans, we have an apple tree and a herb bed. I just plant what I've got time to do, but it's worth the effort."
2. Keep binoculars handy
"We have some binoculars in our living room, as luckily we are surrounded by trees. They love looking through the binoculars to see what they can see."
3. Amuse them with apps
If they really can't be separated from their phones, load some apps to your advantage. "They have this app where you record the birdsong and the app will identify the bird (warblr.co.uk and ChirpOMatic.com are popular choices)," says Powell. "When we get back, we can then look the birds up in a book. If you talk to them about wildlife, they'll want to know all about it."
If they're really keen to know the name of a plant or flower, there are various plant identification apps which will do the job, including FlowerChecker (flowerchecker.com) and PlantSnap (plantsnap.com), where you take a photo of the plant and the app will endeavour to identify it.
4. Go on family walks
"I have two children, Archie, 14, and Gilbert, nine, and like all children these days, they are addicted to the internet. So every Sunday we go for a family walk, which we've done for years, and look at the landscape. It's fantastic family time and it means they're experiencing a little bit of the great outdoors," says Powell. "They almost always moan about it but as soon as we get out there, they are changed children. And we talk."
4. Visit nature reserves
"Since the boys were little, we have been to nature reserves. Straight away, their shoes were off, they were walking through the streams, swinging in the trees - they always have great fun."
5. Create a wildlife haven
"We have lots of plants for pollinators in our garden and you'll find a massive list from the RHS (rhs.org.uk), from echinaceas to roses. They attract insects, which create interest for children in the garden."
6. Encourage them to grow things
"Try sowing seeds. My kids like sowing big seeds, slightly weird-looking, and they want to know what the plants are going to be like and what they will produce. Peas and beans are so easy and they grow really quickly, and sunflowers are brilliant - the bigger, the better."
7. Encourage insects into the garden
"We often see staghorn beetles on our walks, and the bigger the better. Kids are interested in bugs, but we are seeing less of them, which is why we need to plant pollinating plants," says Powell.
"When I've cut back long grasses, they've made hollow stems - so we've put the stems together, bunched them up and put them in trees to make bug houses.
"When you do an autumn tidy-up, just bunch together some of the debris. It can make a great haven for solitary bees," she adds. "We have an old bench which we pile logs under, and Gilbert loves getting his stick in there and seeing what comes out, whether it's centipedes or millipedes or other bugs.
"My mother-in-law used to hang lots of bird-feeders in the area - we still do it. Hang bird-feeders where the kids hang out. And we hang water-filled coconuts from the trees. You must have water. Without water, you won't get wildlife."
8. Give them space for a den
"Kids love to be able to call a space their own, where they can use their imagination. Dens are brilliant and they can make a right old mess out of old bamboo sticks or cut-off branches.
"You could even plant bamboo plants and bend over the stems. They'll make it into an absolute horror - my two used old Christmas decorations and rubbish from their bedrooms, - but it's theirs, they need to own it," Powell adds. "Put the idea in their head by, say, reading them a book at bedtime about dens and suggest they could do that in the garden."
Hampton Court Palace Flower Show takes place in East Molesey, Surrey, from July 2-8. For details, visit rhs.org.uk

I kept hearing other stories like this over and over so I decided to transfer my skills to solving this data issue for the music industry."
It's that time of the year again when certain companies are in the midst of a flurry of activity preparing for the annual SXSW conference which will kick off in Austin, Texas in just a couple of weeks. While many professionals still very much debate whether or not this particular festival still has the relevancy it once had, a few new companies, many of them tech-based are hoping to use the event to take their startups to the next level via the Festival's "Release It" pitch competition. And one female founder, in particular, is planning to pull out all the stops.
Farah Allen founder of The Labz is furiously working with her team to not only prepare for the competition at SXSW but also hit a couple of key internal benchmarks for her company, simultaneously. This is about little sleep and massive focus given that Allen's company is one of only ten companies selected by Festival officials from over 9000 applicants chosen for the spotlight, and with each moment she's thinking, as per lyrics of rap legend Tupac, "All Eyez On Me."
"I was solving asset management and data intelligence issues for large organizations in other industries for the past 15 years," explains Allen. "And it is normal for those businesses to automate workflows. I heard (recording artist/actor) Jamie Foxx say on his radio show one day that he never got paid for Blame It because 30 people claimed that they co-wrote the song, and there were never any documents to prove otherwise. I kept hearing other stories like this over and over so I decided to transfer my skills to solving this data issue for the music industry."
Thus, The Labz was born and now armed with investment for both Comcast Universal and Quake Capital, it currently touts itself as a new platform that makes owning the rights to one's creative work as easy as file sharing and writing lyrics. The company accomplishes this task by combining the creative workflow of digital communication with complex business intelligence and asset protection technologies such as AI, electronic documentation and blockchain technology.
Here's how it works. A user starts a song within the platform. The user then invites collaborators to begin working on the platform workspace via standard tools such as audio sharing and lyric writing and messaging.

MOORE V. HALEY, 2021 OK 37
Opinion: Moore v. Haley, 2021 OK 37
Subject matter: Appellate Procedure
Date Decided: June 21, 2021 (corrected June 22, 2021)
Trial Court: McClain County District Court
Route to this Court: Appeal of denial of Motion to Vacate Order (child visitation issue)
Facts: Appellee filed a Motion to Resume Visitation in a family law matter. The trial court granted the Motion. Appellant then filed a Motion to Vacate the Order granting the Motion to Resume Visitation. The trial court denied the Motion to Vacate and Appellant appealed. Appellee filed a Motion to Dismiss Petition in Error based on, among other grounds, that the Summary Order attached to the Petition in Error does not meet the statutory requirements for an appeal.
Standard of Review: Not specified, but presumably de novo review of application of a statute.
Analysis: The Summary Order attached to the Petition in Error does not comply with 12 O.S.2011 § 696.3 because it does not contain the full caption of the case, the full names of the parties or counsel appearing, or the full name of the assigned judge.
The title of "Summary Order" denotes that it is an abbreviated account of the ruling of the court conducted without legal formalities and the use of Summary Orders has long created problems and confusion for the appellate courts. "Prospectively, we will not recognize a filed Summary Order as a final judgment under 12 O.S.2011 § 696.3."
Outcome: Appellee's Motion to Dismiss the appeal is overruled to allowed the Appellant an opportunity to secure a final journal entry of judgment that satisfies the requirements of 12 O.S.2011 § 696.2 and § 696.3.
Vote: 6-0. Opinion by Kane, V.C.J.. Concur: Kauger, Edmondson, Combs, Gurich and Rowe, JJ. Not voting: Darby, C.J. and Winchester, J.
Other Subsequently, OKSCT amended Rule 1.21 consistent with its ruling in this case. See 2021 OK 41.

Princess mum on 'double dip' - GULF OF MEXICO - 27 March – Princess Cruises knows why two passengers fell overboard from the Grand Princess early on Sunday morning, but it's not telling. According to a statement by Princess, "At the request of both passengers, we are not providing any information about the circumstances of the highly unusual incident. We have concluded that their going overboard was an accident, and we consider the matter closed." Furthermore, a US Coast Guard source told Fairplay today that there will be no investigation, because the ship is Bermuda-flagged and the incident occurred in international waters. The Grand Princess was en route from Galveston to Cozumel when an unidentified 20-year-old woman and 22-year-old man fell from a balcony at around 0130 on Sunday. They were rescued by Princess search boats at around 0530, with a USCG helicopter aiding the search. The woman was found first and the man was subsequently spotted by the USCG copter, which kept a search light on him to aid Princess search boats; according to the USCG source, the male passenger was naked when rescued. Princess said the male was treated in the ship's medical facilities and is continuing his cruise vacation, while the woman disembarked in Costa Maya to "undergo further precautionary testing at a local hospital before travelling home". - Fairplay Homepage (Used with Permission)

BMR 1,158 – Basal Metabolic Rate of 1,158 calories per day.
Your body will burn 1,158 calories each day if you engage in no activity.
This means that your body will burn 1,158 calories each day if you engage in no activity for the entire day.
1,158 Calories = 4.848 Kilojoules.
One you know your Basal Metabolic Rate (1,158) and the number of calories you burn for your activity level, you can improve your weight-loss efforts by setting a lower daily calorie-intake limit and crafting a plan for increasing your physical activity.
Once you have determined your BMR (1,158), you can multiply this number by the activity level that most suits your lifestyle, to determine the appropriate number of calories you need to consume to maintain your weight.

Deric's MindBlog: How much sleep do we really need?
How did humans sleep before the modern era? Because the tools to measure sleep under natural conditions were developed long after the invention of the electric devices suspected of delaying and reducing sleep, we investigated sleep in three preindustrial societies. We find that all three show similar sleep organization, suggesting that they express core human sleep patterns, most likely characteristic of pre-modern era Homo sapiens. Sleep periods, the times from onset to offset, averaged 6.9–8.5 hr, with sleep durations of 5.7–7.1 hr, amounts near the low end of those industrial societies. There was a difference of nearly 1 hr between summer and winter sleep. Daily variation in sleep duration was strongly linked to time of onset, rather than offset. None of these groups began sleep near sunset, onset occurring, on average, 3.3 hr after sunset. Awakening was usually before sunrise. The sleep period consistently occurred during the nighttime period of falling environmental temperature, was not interrupted by extended periods of waking, and terminated, with vasoconstriction, near the nadir of daily ambient temperature. The daily cycle of temperature change, largely eliminated from modern sleep environments, may be a potent natural regulator of sleep. Light exposure was maximal in the morning and greatly decreased at noon, indicating that all three groups seek shade at midday and that light activation of the suprachiasmatic nucleus is maximal in the morning. Napping occurred on fewer than 7% of days in winter and fewer than 22% of days in summer. Mimicking aspects of the natural environment might be effective in treating certain modern sleep disorders.

Thank you for the welcome. I was born a decade and a half after ljubica was murdered. Her story has been repeated throughout the years in our community as so many people are still around. Somethings I'd rather not say here on the board as it might be too private. Mainly, this is concerning her father who has passed away

"The male responsible for the murder is not being named, as he will never have his day in court to answer to the charges. He is no longer a threat. Had he been alive, the Windsor Police Service would have arrested him and charged him with the homicide."
Deceased Male Identified As Being Responsible For 1971 Murder
Regardless of him no longer being a threat, there may be other cases out there that could be solved, because someone remembers his face. I, for instance, had no idea that the man who tried to lure me into his car, when I was 13, was a serial killer in London and Area, until I saw photos of both him and his car from that time period. I fled, but was extremely frightened then, and, more recently at the 'close call' AND who this deranged psychopath really was.

Thinking outside the box here but what if the broken tooth man is NOT the person who attacked the child? What if... perhaps he tried to help her? Save her? Perhaps he was known to the actual murderer and tried to intervene and got a punch to the face in the process?
What makes police so sure that he is both the abductor and attacker, or that he was alone during his entire time with this child??
Wish there were more answers
Don't you think someone trying to save her would come forward immediately? It's delusional to think otherwise.
asmi106082 said:
If the tooth wasn't discovered for 40 years, how would the police have known back then the perp was missing a tooth? They couldn't have advised the public back then either. Or am I missing something??
Police found the tooth right away - at the crime scene. They should have informed the public immediately, so that the perp's neighbors, co-workers, and so on would presumably alert police to him suddenly missing a front tooth.

Starlitnite said:
No. I don't actually. It might depend on who it was, and what happened. Maybe someone got into a fight with the guy and didn't even see or know there was a little girl there being attacked. Maybe someone was too frightened to come forward for some reason - maybe someone was traumatized by whatever he may have seen / known, or maybe it was fear because of WHO the attacker was in relation to him (perhaps a father, son, friend). Who knows? So, while we'd hope someone who may have witnessed or even tried to help would have come forward, but they don't always do that, even if they should.

Her murder has finally been solved, however the culprit will never face justice as he has recently passed away. DNA helps solve 1971 cold case murder
Reactions: dotr and Starlitnite
kev_i_f_ont said:
Yeah; it was solved back in Dec 2019. We are perturbed that, for some assinine reason, they aren't releasing her killer's name. They are citing "privacy" yet that reason doesn't fly in Ontario given that the killer of Christine Jessop was identified post-death but name etc were released to public.
Pretty difficult for previous possible victims of this guy, and we suspect there may be some as Ljubica's horrific death doesn't seem to be of the type where it would be a one-of, to come forward should they recognize him as the individuals who victimized them.
Actually, it angers me that they won't release his name. Why is he sooooo 'special'??

Vern said:
Quite possibly he was a public figure of some sorts. That's the only reason I can possibly think of; that or there's an ongoing investigation into other crimes he may be tied to.
I absolutely agree...his name should be published, as well a his face and description; so that those who were children at the time, in particular, can identify him as, for instance, the man that tried to lure them. I agree, as well regarding it not being the only time. There are a few unsolved murders of children in SW Ontario.
Reactions: Vern and dotr
Is it possible the murder was ritualistic in nature? Something relating to the occult?
Around the same period children were murdered in Oakland county right across the border. I believe 4 were murdered and it remains unsolved. Authorities believe these children may have been sent to North Fox Island, precursor to Epstein Island.
Why isn't there public outrage? Why don't people care? Why aren't there protests, demonstrations, letter writing? If this was a child that belonged to the mayor or a rich prominent businessman, the killer's name would be released. But Ljubica was the child or poor immigrants. Why doesn't she matter? Why is protecting the killer's privacy more important than this innocent child? How many other kids did he molest or kill? Why isn't his picture plastered on the evening news asking do you know this a$$, did he ever do anything to you, where was he when your child disappeared? I can only speculate that police are sure he didn't do anything else. Maybe he's been in jail all along for something else. Maybe he had special needs and was institutionalized. They must be 100% sure that he didn't do anything else. Or they're incompetent.
Reactions: ACrowsEyeview, Starlitnite and dotr
Im afraid we're not going to get answers from the police. We can only work off a few articles.
i mean is it out of the realm that maybe there was another man involved?
They had over 100 volunteers that night searching for her. She was found a few blocks over in an alley. The guys tooth fell at the scene of the crime. A struggle out in the alley and nobody heard? More i look into this the more things i see that are suspicious.
Yah, seriously... How many men would have a freshly lost tooth the day after this crime took place? An orthodontist would be able to confirm it belongs to the suspect turned in by a citizen. Instead, he was free for decades...virtually getting away with a brutal murder of a child. My heart aches for her and her family.
Reactions: ACrowsEyeview and damian11
i find it strange, 100 volunteers searching for Ljubica and nobody sees a car park on Alice and Hickory which is by car literally a dozen seconds from Ljubica's house.
The 100 volunteers is a number i got from the Windsor Star, May 16th edition.
if the tooth is found in the alley does that mean the rape and murder occurred there?
Breezy65
I am reaching out to the Websleuth community for any information regarding the killer of Ljubica Topic in 1971.
I was sexually molested at the age of four, sometime between May and October 1969, exact date is not known. The incident took place in the alley behind the 1500 block of Dougall Ave and Church St. My parents reported it to Windsor Police but I don't have details of what was done at that time. My parents are since deceased and when I contacted Windsor Police for an access request for my records, they could find no record of it (too old of a file).
My memory of some aspects of the incident are clear and I have a general picture in my head of the man's appearance and his vehicle. Before it happened, I was playing in the alley with a group of older neighbourhood children and this person gave them some money and told them to go to the corner store and leave me behind. He tried to persuade me to get in his car, but I shook my head 'no' and so he molested me and pleasured himself and thankfully he left in his car alone. I returned home with some coins in my hand and when my mother asked where the money came from I told her. The look of fear in her eyes is something that sticks with me, but I think she played it pretty cool so she wouldn't frighten me. It wasn't until after her death in 1993 that I read an article about a "cold-case" in Windsor of the murder of Ljubica Topic. The thing I noticed first was the similarity in our appearance and then reading the few details given I was a bit shaken wondering if this was the same man. I spoke with my older siblings and they said my mother always wondered the same, but she never spoke to me about it. Over the years I would wonder if I had anything to contribute to solve Ljubica's case but I really don't have concrete memories that I could swear to in court, and there is fear and shame involved with telling my story. At one point, the police issued a sketch of what the suspect might look like. It did not seem to jive with my recollection of his face, but still I wondered. Now that her case has been closed definitively, I find myself wondering even more if this is the same individual. If that is the case, I was incredibly lucky that no violence occurred in the incident I was involved in. Perhaps because I didn't put up a fight? Maybe he was just getting started and hadn't escalated yet? I would like to see a picture of the person they have identified as her killer, preferably from that time period so that I can put this to rest in my mind after over 50 years.
I have contacted Windsor Police Victim Services; the Information & Privacy Commission; Percy Hatfield's office; and even a private investigator……all with absolutely no support.
I do wonder if there are others like me with similar stories that were largely ignored by Windsor Police at the time prior to Ljubica's murder? Please reach out with any information you may have to share.

The equal access defense applies to possession of illegal drug cases. While this is not the only argument that applies to possession of drug cases, it can be a very powerful one when argued correctly. The Law Office of Richard Lawson and his team of Georgia Criminal Defense Attorneys understand the complexities of drug crimes and are familiar with a plethora of defenses. Contact us today to discuss the specifics of your case and to see if equal access applies to you.
Equal access differs from other defenses because it is not given its power through a statute but instead through case law. In the case of Brown v. State, the Court concluded that merely finding contraband on premises occupied by a defendant is not sufficient to support a conviction if it affirmatively appears from the evidence that persons other than the defendant had equal opportunity to commit the crime. 244 Ga. App. 440, (2000).
Therefore, the doctrine of equal access is that if multiple people had access or could have had possession of illegal drugs, it is potentially impossible or highly difficult to prove that one person exclusively possessed the drugs.
An example where the defense of equal access was successful can be found in Davenport v. State. 308 Ga. App. 140, (2011). In that case, contraband was discovered in a vehicle with multiple people in the car. The defendant was acquitted of the charges of illegal drug possession because there was no evidence that he solely possessed the drugs when the others had equal access to the part of the vehicle where the contraband was found.
An example where equal access does not apply is if officers catch three people all using an illegal drug, then all three of them can be charged with possession.
The equal access defense is just one of many defenses that can be applied to your case. Contact the Law Office of Richard Lawson and his team of Georgia Criminal Defense Attorneys and let us review the facts of your case. A charge is not the same as a conviction so let us work with you to provide the strongest defense available to you.


Peter, don't get started. Please. Earlier today I had to tell a knock-knock joke because the whole reason-reification business was impossible to follow. Okay, here's another one.
Orange you glad I didn't say "reification"?

The ritual knife, or athame, is one of the prime Wicca altar tools.
Traditionally black-handled, the athame lives in the East, the direction that represents mind, thought, and choice.
An athame doesn't have to be metal. You can find ones made out of wood or carved stone, if you prefer. It's not used as a physical knife, anyway, but a symbolic one.
Athames hold yang [god] energy.
Athames are used to direct energy, typically in casting ritual Circles and recalling them. They may also be used to cut energetic ties.
Ordinarily, an athame is not used to cut anything on the physical plane.
The wand is like a portable, handy version of a broom. There is a theory that originally one instrument performed all the purposes served by the two today.
A wand can be made of any natural material. Wood is traditional. Since all woods have unique Powers, you may like to choose the wood to suit your particular needs.
Wands can be used for divination and channeling magickal energy. They can be used to cast and recall circles, in place of the athame.
The magickal wand goes in the South, for the power of will, magick, and transformation.
It also represents yang, or god, energy.
The Wiccan chalice is one of the most important altar tools. It signifies the Mother Goddess.
As such, it is a "yin" altar tool.
Some people like very fancy bejeweled cups for their altar chalice, but this is not necessary. A cup or wine-type glass of any material will do, or even a bowl. Something that holds water and, ideally, is round or curvy is good.
Silver is always nice for Goddess tools – a silver chalice is a perfect Wiccan chalice.
The altar chalice is placed in the West, the direction of Water and the yinnest of the yin.
The Wiccan chalice is used for ceremonial drink, offering libations to the Divine, or holding the salt-water solution.
The Pentacle is a flat board or circle that is usually inscribed with a pentagram (a five-pointed star), though they may also have many other symbols upon them.
This tool acts like a platform upon which many other acts are often performed –especially consecrations. It is symbolic of the Element of Earth, not only as the general Element, but also as the planet Earth itself and on a larger scale it can even be used as a symbol of the universe.
It is generally placed in the centre of the altar, and magical workings are performed on top of it. It can also be used in meditations. The Pentacle is often used in ceremonial magic as it blocks evil very effectively.
It's direction is North and it's energy is Female.
In the upward direction it is used for Protection, Blessing, Consecration, Meditation and Positive energy. In the downward direction it is used for Banishing and Binding.
In Tarot, the pentacle symbolises political action and intrigue.
Bells are like the Voice of the Goddess. When you ring one, it brings the Divine's attention to you. And your attention to the Divine!
A bell with a lovely tone will call beautiful, healing energy to you. Bells can also be used to clear energy. At the end of a ritual is a good time for this, but if unwanted energy crops up during a ritual, you can use the bell to disperse it.
At minimum, I recommend two large altar candles to look great, provide lighting, and set the mood.
Candles are also used for spells, and for rituals.
For example: One candle for each of the directions, colour-coded, are often used on a Wiccan altar. One would go in each appropriate direction . . .
For Centre, where you aren't using God and Goddess candles: white, silver, or gold.
Candles are used to invoke and hold the Powers of each direction.
They are more than reminders of Divinity. Statues of the gods and goddesses can actually hold the vibrations of the Divine.
So your altar becomes a living temple – a place where the Divine dwells.
You can also use your altar chalice or cauldron for this purpose.
Later, pour or bury the offerings in the Earth, or into living water (rivers, lakes, etc) to carry them to the Divine.
Traditionally cast iron, a cauldron is like a 3-legged rounded cooking pot. You can get them in sizes from huge to tiny.
Cauldrons are handy items for burning things, like incense and herbs. This is one of the reasons it is one of the most common altar tools.
Put an incense charcoal in the bottom, and sprinkle the herbs and powders onto it for very pagan incense.
Cauldrons can also be used to hold "witches' brews," that is, magickal spells in liquid form. These range from simple salt-water purifications to complex spells.
If you have a Book of Shadows it should be kept on your altar, preferably. It is one of your most important altar tools. If your altar is not private enough, or you can't keep it there for another reason, then keeping it under your altar is best.
If you have other books that you use for reference for spells or rituals, it may be handy to keep nearby. It's better to remain within the cast circle than to leave it to look up something.

Barca manager Ronald Koeman backs Messi to win Ballon d'Or
Ronald Koeman believes Messi will win his seventh Ballon d'Or title.
The Barcelona talisman helped Argentina win the Copa America in Brazil and is the favourite to be named the best player on the planet.
The Argentine won the coveted prize on six occasions and an international silverware was only missing in his illustrious CV.
Ronald Koeman believes the 34-year old deserves recognition in terms of his performance for both club and country in the past 12 months.
Messi, whose contract with Barcelona expired on June 30 is currently now a free agent but the Catalan giants are on the verge of tieing him to a five-year deal.
"He is vitally important. For what he brings to the team, he's the captain and an example. His goalscoring has been brilliant despite a difficult start," Koeman said.
"He has shown time and again he is the best in the world. I know how much he wanted to win the Copa América and he has done it at last. Messi is the prime candidate for the Ballon d'Or after a great season and for me he is the favourite."

Anteros, meanwhile, has become well-treated and runs the track well, so makes plenty of each-way appeal in the Listed 3m handicap hurdle. For full details on these horses, read our in-depth preview and Cheltenham betting tips November 17.
The Worlds End could not have been more impressive when making a winning debut over the larger obstacles and looks a worthy red-hot favourite to follow-up in the 3m mallardjewellers.com Novices' Chase on BetVictor Gold Cup day at Cheltenham this Saturday (13:15). This Tom George trained seven-year-old was a very useful staying hurdler who has the potential to go to the top in this sphere.
He won four times over hurdles, including when beating Beyond Conceit by half-a-length in a Grade 1 juvenile contest at Aintree. Although he didn't get his head in front in five starts last season, the son of Stowaway did post some solid efforts in defeat at the highest level.
They included when fourth to Sam Spinner in the Long Walk Hurdle at Ascot and a fine 7 1/2 lengths seventh of 15 to Penhill in the Stayers' Hurdle at the Festival here back in March. However, connections always claimed that whatever he achieved over hurdles would be a bonus, as he was bred to come into his own as a chaser.
That view was confirmed in no uncertain fashion when The Worlds End easily beat Now McGinty by 14 lengths in a five-runner beginners' chase at Chepstow last month. He put in a flawless round of jumping and, after taking up the running five from home, cruised clear to win with any amount in hand. It was a most taking display and one which suggested The Worlds End needed keeping firmly onside.
This also earned him an official rating of 155, which gives him 10lb and upwards in hand on all his rivals. It makes this look the taking for The Worlds End granted a clear round, so he's fully expected to prove up to the task and land the spoils en route to much better things. We therefore had no hesitation in making him the standout punt in our Cheltenham betting tips for November 17.
Trainer Paul Nicholls has his team in fine fettle and Danse Idol looks to hold leading claims of providing him with another winner in the Listed 2m mares' bumper (16:00). This five-year-old is making her debut for the Ditcheat handler, having won an Irish point and finished a fine second on her only previous start under rules.
That run came in a 16-runner bumper at Punchestown back in February where the daughter of Dansant finished second of 16 to Relegate. After racing in mid-division, she made headway approaching the straight and stuck to the task well to go down by just 1 3/4 lengths.
It was a very pleasing introduction and the winner went on to land a Grade 2 at Leopardstown, before tasting her finest hour when flying home to land the 23-runner Grade 1 Champion Bumper at the Festival here in March. So, even given the fact the Danse Idol was in receipt of 7lb, it was a cracking effort for her to get so close to a hugely talented Willie Mullins inmate. The form looks really strong and sets the standard in this.
Danse Idol is a scopey sort with bags of potential and looks just the type to win plenty of races for Nicholls. With the yard operating at a 22 per cent strike rate in the last 14 days at the time of writing, she is also unlikely to be found wanting for lack of fitness. Her run behind Relegate makes her the one to beat in this, hence Dansse Idol rates out next best bet on a terrific seven-race card on day two of the November Meeting at Prestbury Park.
Anteros runs the track well and figures on a handy mark at present, so makes plenty of each-way appeal in the Listed 3m Regulatory Finance Solutions Handicap Hurdle (15:00). The Sophie Leech trained 10-year-old has won once and been placed four times in 12 runs at the venue.
That success came in this two years ago where, after being held-up, the son of Milan forged clear on the run-in to comfortably beat Corrin Wood by seven lengths off a rating of 125. Anteros also ran very well in last year's renewal when a 2 3/4 lengths runner-up to Thomas Campbell off 128 and is now able to race off just 1lb higher.
It gives him every chance from a handicapping perspective and he comes into the race on the back of two promising runs at Plumpton and Newton Abbot. Connections gave him two spins before his aforementioned runs in this in 2016-17, so he has clearly been primed for it yet again.
Anteros also has the services of Sean Houlihan in the saddle who takes off a handy 5lb with his claim. Taking it into account, Anteros is running off a mark 1lb lower than when last successful. It makes him a huge player in this at a track which clearly plays to his strengths, so at the odds on offer he had to be the each-way punt in our Cheltenham betting tips for November 17.


The World Health Organization has ranked vaccine hesitancy — the growing resistance to widely available lifesaving vaccines — as one of the top 10 health threats in the world for 2019. That news will not come as a surprise in New York City, where the worst measles outbreak in decades is now underway.

On the west's mad push to demonize Putin
By Tom Winter Last updated Feb 19, 2018
"The objective is to keep the russophobic flame alive and increase it with the influx of new themes. All, of course, without a shred of proof."
In Il Fatto Quotidiano, February 7, 2016
Translated from Italian by Tom Winter, February 14, 2016
A frenzied campaign is on to demonize Russian president Vladimir Putin. Lots of people are on to it, it's so obvious, but not everyone understands the reasons. And not everyone is aware of who is behind it.
Let's lay out the facts in line. We begin with the oldies, because the matter has gone on for several years — from the time when the Russian president realized that he has to defend himself against the Empire. He must have read the book by Arnold Toynbee:
Putin "aggressor" of Ukraine. Putin "annexed" Crimea by force. Putin shot down the Malaysian Boeing. Putin who killed Politkovskaya. Putin who killed Boris Nemtsov on the Kremlin bridge.
And now here comes the new wave. (New so to speak).
Putin who murdered Aleksandr Litvinenko, with the polonium. And the English judge says so, though he adds "probably. The boundless riches of anti-Putin propaganda in that BBC documentary — without a shred of evidence. But it was reprised and and amplified by the American administration and endorsed by Obama's spokesman. Which is like sending him to say: "we're not discussing it with you any more."
While he still insists on calling them "our partners." Ah, the patience!
And, soon, be on the lookout for another "bomb:" the International Criminal Court has announced that it has initiated an investigation on the responsibility for the war in Georgia of August 8, 2008. Timeliness? Well, eight years old. The Russian government, for its part, has already made this survey, collecting 500 volumes of data, and published it eight years ago. But no one will be surprised: The Hague will not have time to read it. In fact a new indictment against Russia is in the works, for which no evidence is needed.
The objective is to keep the russophobic flame alive and increase it with the influx of new themes. All, of course, without a shred of proof. But who cares? The result is assured anyway. In fact all the Western media, the stevedores of neo-lingo and neo-Orwellian logic, need no evidence. They do not even know any more how to look for it or verify it. They repeat by rote, with undiminished safety and impunity that is granted them by the sainted, or Boeotian, forgetfulness of the masses, recalling the small vial that Colin Powell shook at the United Nations Security Council, accusing Saddam Hussein of having "weapons of mass destruction".
There is a center, a special office charged with coordinating this campaign. We talked with Pino Cabras in our book "Barack Obush." Where it is, physically, we do not know. But it exists and works full time. It is equivalent to a general staff of the imperial propaganda. It has no need to economize resources:
Putin bombards the terrorists in Syria? No, Putin bombards civilians, hospitals, schools, children. Who says that? The Western coalition which funded the cutthroat Daesh. Nobody checked: Erdogan said it. The Naziphiliacs of Kiev are saying it. The Nazi sympathizers of Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania are saying it. Brussels says it. And that says it all. The US announced that they will send troops to Syria. Overt violation of all law. Saudi Arabia, democratic and enlightened, is piling on and will send troops too. Turkey also is aiming to invade the Kurdish zones.
Why is all this happening?? For one simple reason: Russia is destroying Daesh, a piece at a time. And the army of Bashar al-Assad is on the offensive on all fronts.
In Washington, they organize seminars and measure the losses of "their" guys in the field. So we have to stop Russia before it is too late, that is, before all the cut-throats are dispersed and put to flight. If anyone is wondering if the peace negotiations in Geneva stalled? The moderate terrorists are protesting. And they ask America: before any negotiating, Russia must leave. I.e. the only country legitimately there, to support the Syrian government in Syrian territory, has to leave it.
If not – the West makes it understand openly – they will go to war. Maybe in Ukraine, or maybe in the Baltic, where they are all screaming over an impending Russian attack as NATO prepares a very imminent provocation against Russia. And please do not tell me that I am a catastrophist. I am anything but. But I'm not blind.
Everything is very clear. Pull up your iron underpants, but you know that will not be enough to save you. In the meantime let's get ready to go to war in Libya. I would suggest you begin to mobilize against this indolent government. There is the appeal of Zanotelli: and will we permit the Signora Pinotti to take us into another war?

Coconut oil's champions say it works as a treatment against everything from Alzheimer's disease to thyroid issues. But a German epidemiologist is shaking up coconut oil lovers in a recent YouTube video. In the talk, Karin Michels, an adjunct professor at the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, calls coconut oil a harmful saturated fat.
"Fact is, coconut oil is pure poison," said Michels, director of the Institute for Prevention and Tumor Epidemiology at the University of Freiburg in Germany. The video, which is in German, has been viewed nearly 1 million times.
How bad is coconut oil, really? Is it that different from other dietary fats?
There is no one super-healthy source of fat. A healthy diet can incorporate a variety of all fats —in moderation. It's the amount and the type of fat that matters when you're looking for a smart choice.
The scientific literature consistently supports the idea that high consumption of saturated fats is highly correlated with an increased risk of heart disease, while fat intake from unsaturated sources — like olives, nuts, and sunflowers— boosts heart health.
Despite the fact that it's a saturated fat, coconut oil's advocates believe it can aid in treating a number of conditions including heart disease, arthritis, weight gain, and the aforementioned thyroid issues and Alzheimer's disease. They even claim it boosts immunity.
Yet much of this information is based on testimonials and self-report. The scientific data on the potential health benefits of coconut oil are only slowly developing with most nutrition experts and regulatory nutrition groups generally agreeing there isn't yet convincing evidence on what this tropical oil does in terms of heart health and overall disease management.
While some population studies have suggested that areas consuming high amounts of coconut oil — such as Sri Lanka —have lower incidence of heart disease, the studies don't take into account that other factors, like genetics, exercise, and overall diet quality that also play important roles.
All fats have different fatty acid patterns and two fatty acids in coconut oil are myristic acid — which is heart-friendly —and lauric acid — which is not heart-friendly. Selected preliminary studies suggest that in a controlled laboratory setting, coconut oil consumption increases both LDL (think "L" for lousy) as well as HDL (think "H" for healthy) cholesterol.
Some suggest the fact that it keeps cholesterol stable makes coconut oil a "better-for-you" saturated fat. However, studies have not yet determined how this ultimately might impact health over the long term.
Comparisons of refined coconut oil (processed) to the newer virgin (unprocessed) coconut oil add further confusion. There are simply no evidence-based answers yet to clarify the impact of one or the other on heart health.
Coconut oil has the same calories as all other fats, about 120 calories/tablespoon.
You don't want to swap heart-healthy unsaturated fats —like nuts, seeds, and other plant oils — for a saturated fat like coconut oil.
If you enjoy coconut oil, it's OK to use it sparingly. It's also okay to replace other sources of saturated fat with coconut oil, if you like its taste better.
You can eat all kinds of heart-healthy fats every day.
You should limit saturated fat to about 22 grams per day, or 10 percent of your daily calories.
If you love coconut oil's flavor, by all means, cook with it, but keep your intake modest until scientific studies document more of its health risks and benefits.
Don't want to consume coconut oil? Use it as a "topical fat" on your skin and hair. Coconut oil has been recommended as a body lotion, moisturizer, eye cream, massage oil, hair conditioner, lip balm, and more.

RacePak Jeep Accessories & Parts
Racepak LLC was founded in 1984 by Spencer Eisenbarth and Ron Armstrong, originally as Racepak and its parent company, Competition Systems, Incorporated (CSI). Both men were engineers with strong backgrounds in electrical and mechanical applications, and both had an interest in motor sports. Through an earlier joint effort aimed at obtaining data for the improvement of the Unlimited Hydroplane that Armstrong was piloting at the time, both men realized the need for onboard data acquisition equipment. Their respective backgrounds qualified them to develop such equipment, but the major task that needed to be overcome was in designing and building a data recorder that could survive in the unfriendly world of race vehicles. That challenge became the initial goal that led to the formation of Competition Systems, Inc. The continued success of Racepak has allowed CSI to grow. In the years that have followed Eisenbarth and Armstrong have quietly guided CSI into a strong presence in many forms of motor sports.More importantly they have reinvested heavily into supporting the quest for information technology, and have positioned the company as a leader in the data acquisition industry. This has expanded their clientele to include industrial applications, OE manufacturers, and testing facilities, as well as a broad spectrum of land, water, and snow-based motor sports. Today the company, and it's large engineering and manufacturing staff, are housed in a 12,000 square foot building in Rancho Santa Margarita, California, about fifty miles south of Los Angeles. From the single original Racepak data recorder our line has now grown to include a large selection of unique loggers, software, gauges, and ancillary equipment all designed for the sole purpose of gathering data.In 2000, Racepak began the initial design of their first GPS based data system. In 2001 this system soon found its way to various forms of professional motorsports, such as circle track, road racing and offshore power boats. In 2003, the initial G2X design was conceived. A slow and deliberate development program was initiated, accumulating in the current G2X data system.Racepak LLC continues to follow the same guidelines and desires that have placed us atop the data acquisition industry. Our unwavering goal to produce reliable, efficient, state of the art data recorders, at a price accessible to professionals and sportsmen alike, and back them with whatever service our customers may need, is as strong today as it was in 1984. The dedicated team at Racepak is proud of our accomplishments and the accolades that have come our way, but at the same time we believe that our future is directly linked to our reputation. Consequently, quality equipment and customer service continue to be more than just an advertising slogan at Racepak. Our push toward constant improvement, a lack of satisfaction with the status quo, and the burning desire to achieve the impossible, have made us a perfect match for the customers we serve.

Augusta - South Africa's Kaleigh Telfer mixed it up with the world's top ranked amateur and the 2018 SCFA Women's Amateur Championship runner-up in a dream start at the inaugural Augusta National Women's Amateur on Wednesday.
The GolfRSA Elite Squad member fired four birdies in an opening round of three-under-par 69 at the Champions Retreat Golf Club to finish within one stroke of joint leaders, No 1-ranked Jennifer Kupcho and 16-year-old junior Zoe Campos.
"I am very happy with that 69," said the second-year Auburn University student.
Kupcho returned a flawless 68 with birdies at eight, 14, 15 and 18, while her compatriot Campos countered bogeys at eight and 16 with half a dozen birdies.
The South African began her campaign on the back nine and was two-under through the turn after birdies at the par four 12th and par-three 17th. She offset a lone bogey at the par four fourth with further gains at the par four seventh and par five ninth.
"I actually hit a good drive down the middle of the fairway at the fourth," said Telfer.
"There's a tree in the middle of the fairway, and I hit a punch shot and it came out a little bit high off the face. I thought it was a good shot, but it hit the tree at the last minute and fell through.
"The seventh is a driveable par four, but in the practice round, I hit 3-wood long. I was hitting it quite long again today, so I went with a 5-wood. I finished 10 yards short of the green and made a great up-and-down for birdie.
The former Ernie Els and Fancourt Foundation member was delighted to receive the unexpected call-up to Augusta and was pleased with a solid start.
"Honestly, I wasn't expecting the call," she said.
"The selections had gone out and I thought I had just missed it. I knew I was very close, so when I got the call about two weeks later, I was just over the moon. I received the phone call while I was walking to class and I was really excited.
"It was a huge motivation to come out here and I had a few college tournaments leading up to this week that helped me to build my confidence coming here. This is one of the best tournaments I've ever played in.
Telfer described the opening function as an out-of-body experience.
"It was incredible, every moment from arriving to the fireworks to going back to our accommodation," said the Bryanston golfer.

Canados has recently delivered a full-custom version of their successful Canados 86 series. Called Amalthea, this 26 metre motor yacht fulfils all the demands of her owner.
Presented during the Festival de la Plaisance of Cannes this year with the new Canados 120, Amalthea is very different from her numerous sisters. Following the owner's wishes - a master suite on the main deck and an enclosed area on the sundeck - Canados decided to create a third deck, making Amalthea the only Canados 86 trideck existing to-date.
This modification considerably increased the volume inside for a yacht of this size. The yacht accommodates a total of 8 guests in the master suite forward on the main deck, with a double and two twin cabins on the lower deck. The large wheelhouse is on the bridge deck, with an office for the owner behind, like a veranda with a direct access to a protected sundeck. Special features also include a sauna in the beach club.
According to the shipyard, the few extra tons due to the modifications have only a limited impact on performance, reducing the top speed by a couple of knots. In the standard version, the Canados 86 is powered by twin 1,800hp Caterpillar engines giving a cruising speed of 29 knots and a top speed of 33 knots.
Entirely designed by the yard, Amalthea demonstrates the ability of Canados to tailor their production to specific demands.

Ann Serrano Biography, Married, Divorce, Kids, Family, Quick Facts
Ann Serrano Lopez is not only a very beautiful woman, but also a very talented American actress, writer, and producer. While there are many who know her as such, there are others who simply know her as the former wife of American comedian and actor George Lopez.
Ann Serrano Biography
It was on December 18, 1960, in Hartford, Connecticut, when the actress was born as Ann Marie Serrano to Cuban immigrant parents, both of whom worked in the medical field. Her childhood is hardly known, and although she has achieved much for herself in the meantime, she is usually referred to as the ex-wife of George Lopez.
Anne Serrano is an actress and television producer as well as an activist dedicated to charity and awareness-raising. Together with her then-husband, she organized a kidney screening in 2009, which focused on uninsured individuals. This was done not only because of the history of their illness but also to give something back to society during the economic problems of the time.
She revealed that she was working on starting her talk show as early as 2013, but it has not yet been realized. As an actress, the woman appeared in a few films in which she played smaller roles. These films include Curb Your Enthusiasm (2000) and Arrested Development (2003). In 2002 she also appeared in the television series George Lopez. In 2003 she was again seen in Life with Bonnie.

Married, Kids, Family, and Divorce
In 1993 Ann Serrano married George Lopez. They married after a meeting in May 1990 at The Ice House. The two stayed together until 2011 when they decided that they would have to separate due to irreconcilable differences. So they decided to divorce.
Before the marriage ended, Ann and George, who was abandoned by his parents when he was a child and raised by his grandmother who was a vicious woman, had only one daughter between them, born in 1995 and named Mayan Lopez. Just like her parents, Mayan is also an actress. She appeared in Mr. Troop Man's (2009), Handsome: A Netflix Mystery Movie (2017), and her latest work is Kill Her! Mata La! (2018).
Shortly before the 17-year-old marriage broke up, the comedian's kidneys failed due to a genetic disease that almost always kept him ill from 1998 to 2005. It was his wife, Ann Serrano, who donated one of her kidneys to him, and according to him, for many years after waking up he had never felt as good as he does now.
Although they were completely divorced in June 2011, the battle over the division of their net worth lasted until 2012, when the court ruled that Ann should receive up to half of her husband's pension benefits and other entitlements. Today, as George Lopez pointed out, he and Ann are in a very good position. Perhaps an important factor is precisely the fact that they have a child together.
