```

Klassdiagrammets första avsnitt ("_Fields_") ger det privata fältet `_count` samt dess typ (`int`). I avsnittet "_Properties_" i klassdiagrammet hittar du två publika egenskaper. Egenskapen `Count` kapslar in fältet `_count` (helt i onödan då ingen validering sker). Egenskapen `Quote`, av typen `string`, är em s.k. auto-implementerad egenskap som inte kapslar in något synligt fält (det läggs faktiskt till ett fält av kompilatorn).

I avsnittet "_Methods_" finns de två konstruktorerna som ska implementeras. Observera att konstruktorer saknar returvärde och måste ha samma namn som klassen. Det som skiljer konstruktorerna åt är deras signaturer, d.v.s. namnet på konstruktorn och dess parameterlista. (Titta gärna i metoden `Main` hur respektive konstruktor används.)

Den publika metoden `View` skriver helt enkelt ut datat, som det privata fältet `_quote` innehåller, `_count` gånger.

This policy sets forth principles and procedures for selecting and approving works of art that will be permanently installed on the University of North Florida's campus, including those funded through construction dollars and those donated by individuals or organizations.
The University of North Florida encourages and uses permanent exhibits of artwork to educate and enrich the lives of our students, faculty, staff, and the local community. Portraits may also be used to commemorate individuals who have contributed to the development of the institution.
All such exhibits of art must complement and respect the character of the campus, be appropriate for the specific setting, and be consistent with the mission of the institution.
Proposed works of art will be approved by either (a) the local art selection committee, as defined in the Florida Arts in State Building Program Guide, or (b) The UNF Campus Committee on Public Art appointed by the University President. The local art selection committee is used for works funded through construction dollars. The UNF Campus Committee on Public Art is used in approving works donated to or purchased by the University.
After consultation with the respective selection committee and other interested constituents, the President of the University may choose not to accept or purchase specific pieces of art work.
In accord with Florida Statute 255.043, one-half of one percent of the total appropriation for construction of a new building will be set aside to fund the acquisition of a work of art for public display in the interior or exterior of the new building. The allocation for the work of art can not exceed $100,000.
The procedures for selection of these works of art are set forth in the Florida's Art in State Buildings Program Guide.
6. A clear statement of what related costs the donor(s) intends to cover and what costs, if any, that the University would be obligated to assume.
Proposals for artwork that are being donated to the University should also be reviewed by the Vice President for Institutional Advancement.
5. It must depict an individual or individuals who have achieved regional, national or international recognition.
In installing a donated or purchased work of art, the University or the donors of such a work will ensure that the art is appropriately recognized by title and artist. Donors may also wish to work with the University to recognize their contributions to the University.
As set forth in this policy, any donated or purchased work of art becomes the property of the University of North Florida. As such, it is within the prerogative of the University to relocate such works of art on the UNF campus or, if necessary, place such works in storage when changes in the campus require such alterations.

Women most at risk from friends and romantic partners, data shows
Women continue being at highest risk of being sexually assaulted or exploited by their friends, social media friends and romantic partners, data released by the Mumbai Police shows
Gautam S. Mengle / Mumbai
Published: 17 Feb 2022, 1:45 PM
Women continue being at highest risk of being sexually assaulted or exploited by their friends, social media friends and romantic partners, data released by the Mumbai Police shows.
The statistics were made public at a press conference held in Mumbai where annual crime statistics for the last three years were released by the Mumbai Police top brass.
According to the figures compiled by the police, out of 888 offences of rape under the Indian Penal Code registered in 2021, 570 were allegedly committed by friends of the victim, social media friends or romantic partners with the false promise of marriage. Out of these, the victims in 271 cases were minors, while the remaining 299 were adults.
Further, out of the 888 rape cases registered in 2021, victims in 364 cases were minors, which is more than half of the total cases.
The same trend was also observed in the previous two years as well. In 2020, 398 of the total 766 registered rapes were committed by this category of accused, while in 2019, the number stood at 539 out of 1015.
People employed by the families of the victims, like servants, gardeners or drivers were the second highest in the type of accused, while family friends or friends of family members made up the third highest category.
This year, the police undertook a new initiative towards safety of women by compiling a record of known sexual offenders and taking preventive action against them.
"While earlier, we used to maintain records of history sheeters like burglers, robbers, dacoits and motor vehicle theft accused, we have now started doing the same for sexual offenders who have targeted women and children. In many instances, such offenders have also been externed by zonal Deputy Commissioners of Police," said Joint Commissioner of Police (Law and OrdeR) Vishwas Nangre Patil, Mumbai Police.
The police had this year also created Nirbhaya squads, dedicated teams of personnel from each police station to specifically prevent and act against crimes against women in their respective jurisdictions.
The year gone by also witnessed a small increase in cases registered under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act. While there were 932 cases registered in 2020, the Mumbai Police registered 1051 cases in 2021.
Cyber crimes, too, showed an increase in number. The city recorded 2435 cybercrime cases in 2020, and 2883 in 2021. However, the detection rate also improved vastly, from 9% in 2020 to 16% in 2021. The Mumbai Police established five new cyber police stations in the city in 2021, and the detection rate for these five police stations alone stands at 59%, as compared to 13% for other police stations, officials said.
Meanwhile, the neighbouring Navi Mumbai police commissionerate, which also released its annual statistics on Wednesday, recorded 212 cases of rape in 2021, which is an increase by 87 cases as compared to 2020.
"In all the cases, the accused were either family members of the victim or closely known to them. The detection rate for rape cases in Navi Mumbai in 2021 was 100%," Navi Mumbai Police Commissioner Bipin Kumar Singh said.

Taylor Decker caught a touchdown pass on Sunday.
No, that's not a typo.
Decker, the Detroit Lions' 6-foot-7, 311-pound left tackle, hauled in a play-action lob from Matthew Stafford during Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams at Ford Field, then ran into the end zone untouched for an 11-yard score.
It fooled everyone.
The touchdown, which marked Decker's first points in his NFL career, cut the Lions' deficit to 16-13 late in the third quarter.
Here's a replay of the reception:

The Spotted Dog Inn
The world would shake with incredulous disbelief if it were ever suggested that possibly the Pyramids, the Taj Mahal, Stonehenge or the ancient ruins of the City of Pompeii being partially demolished to make way for residential accommodation or possibly social housing with substantial enabling development around the curtilage of these sites. However, although on a much smaller scale to these august historical monuments, this is the likely proposal to be considered by the London Borough of Newham for an ancient 15th century coaching inn known as The Spotted Dog.
The Spotted Dog Inn was in continuous use from the 15th century until the turn of the new millennium. Legend has it that King Henry VIII used the inn for kennelling his hunting dogs. For most of the 19th century the Spotted Dog continued its life as a popular public house which I remember well, until an eventual sympathetic transformation blended with the property to create a well-known and loved steak restaurant and public house. In 2004 the property was put up for auction and purchased by joint owners who commenced building works, some of it apparently unauthorised. Unfortunately all work was abandoned following a dispute between the joint owners and the Spotted Dog has stood empty and neglected ever since with the building falling into administration.
With the ongoing neglect of this Grade II listed, (and in theory), protected building, the premises rapidly fell into a state of disrepair. Various pressure groups have tried unsuccessfully to get the local council to cut through the legalistic red tape to bring the building back into use and even Prince Charles has shown an interest in the fate of the building. The local authority has already tried a number of legal moves to revitalise and preserve the building and are now considering various options including buying the property with a Compulsory Purchase Order. A valuation exercise would be a requirement of any CPO option. Purchase and restoration of the building is likely to result in a financial deficit to the council and this could lead to the temptation of using the land in alternative ways other than a public house and restaurant or other cultural usage.
Despite being the location for the 2012 Olympics site, Newham is one the UK's most deprived areas. Although the Olympics are likely to bring a degree of regeneration to the area, there are so many more ingredients other than enhanced sporting facilities required in the cauldron of regeneration to make an area both a pleasant and desirable location to live. Diversification of both public and private resources throughout an area frequently helps this essential feel good factor to a local environment. Although social housing is essential, an over preponderance of such property in a given locality can also have a negative influence to the desirability and vibrancy of an area.
Local campaign groups believe that with council assistance, it will be possible to attract sufficient public subscriptions to turn the Spotted Dog Inn into a much-needed heritage centre. The building is certainly one of the oldest historical buildings in London and is the oldest secular building in the London Borough of Newham. It does seem to me such a proposal fits perfectly into the desirability aspects of local regeneration and is far from wishful thinking.
When studying history be it social, cultural, political or economic, it always seems strange to me that few modern-day participants in current affairs ever view how they themselves or their actions will be perceived by future historians. I have little doubt that if the redevelopment proposals for the Spotted Dog are progressed, those future historians will view the effective and unnecessary loss of such an important historical site very negatively indeed. It would be a negatively charged historical cloud I would certainly not wish to have hovering over my head for the remainder of posterity.
As they say, "Once it is gone, it is gone", … and its gone forever.
There are several online petitions to save the Spotted Dog from redevelopment. If you feel such an important historical site should be preserved for future generations, these petitions can be found at;

The photographs below show the increasing deterioration to the Spotted Dog Inn. It is hard to believe this is a protected building and how it has been allowed to reach such a deplorable condition in just a few years. After more than 500 years of proud life, it is tragic the building should be left to suffer such an ignominious fate.

BlackBerry sees 77pc fall in global OS market share in Q4
By Paul Withers -
Struggling manufacturer held just 0.6 per cent of the market at the end of last year, with shipments slumping by 5.7 million
BlackBerry's global OS market share fell 77 per cent in Q4 and 40.9 per cent in 2013 – becoming the only OS to realise negative year-on-year change for both the quarter and 2013.
This is according to IDC's latest Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker, which provides market share and smartphone shipment figures for the industry.
BlackBerry's market share in the final three months of last year slumped to 0.6 per cent from 3.2 per cent a year earlier. Smartphone shipments also fell sharply from 7.4 million to 1.7 million.
Last year, its market share fell from 4.5 per cent in 2012 to 1.9 per cent. Shipments almost halved from 32.5 million to 19.2 million.
These results are despite the manufacturer launching its BlackBerry 10 platform in January 2013, which was seen as an attempt to boost the company's fortunes.
However, in its most recent financial results for the three months ending November 30, BlackBerry losses quadrupled from the previous quarter to $4.4 billion. Revenue was down by a quarter to $1.2 billion, and down by 57 per cent from $2.7 billion a year earlier.
Meanwhile, Android and Apple iOS continued to dominate the market, accounting for 95.7 per cent of all smartphone shipments in Q4 and for 93.8 per cent of all shipments for the year.
This marked a 4.5 per cent increase from Q4 and 6.1 per cent increase from what they shared in 2012.
Android remained the clear leader with 70.3 per cent share in Q4 and 69 per cent for the year. Shipments also rose 65 million to 226.1 million in the quarter and by 293.5 million over the year to 793.6 million. This resulted in respective increases of 40.3 per cent and 58.7 per cent.
Apple iOS maintained second position but saw its market share in Q4 fall 3.3 per cent to 17.6 per cent and by 3.5 per cent over the year to 15.2 per cent. Despite this, shipments were up by 3.2 million in the quarter to 51 million and by 17.5 million in 2013, resulting in respective increases of 6.7 per cent and 12.9 per cent.
Windows Phone strengthened its position in third ahead of BlackBerry. Shipment numbers almost doubled last year to 33.4 million and in the quarter grew from six million in Q4 2012 to 8.8 million in the most recent three month period. This resulted in respective growth of 90.9 per cent and 46.7 per cent respectively.
Its market share last year grew by almost a percentage point to 3.3 per cent whilst in Q4 it was up by nearly half a percentage point to three per cent.
IDC said that while smartphone growth remained strong last year, "it should be noted that the ear of double-digit annual growth has only a few years remaining" It added that manufacturers "are doing all they can to capture demand while it is still present", primarily through marketing campaigns for flagship devices.
Ramon Llamas, research manager with IDC's mobile phone team, said: "Clearly, there was strong end-user demand for both Android and iOS products during the quarter and the year. What stands out are the different routes Android and Apple took to meet this demand.
"Android relied on its long list of OEM partners, a broad and deep collection of devices, and price points that appealed to nearly every market segment. Apple's iOS, on the other hand, relied on nearly the opposite approach: a limited selection of Apple-only devices, whose prices trended higher than most.
"Despite these differences, both platforms found a warm reception to their respective user experiences and selection of mobile applications."

Would This Crazy Plan To Hurt Russia Actually Work?
"Obviously this is a pretty out-there plan, but it almost has that 'so crazy it just might work' kind of feel to it."
It's hard to find quality journalism out there these days, but sometimes, an interesting thought or opinion can come from the least likely of places.
A piece that was published earlier this week on Jalopnik, the Gawker-owned site covering cars, car culture, and the automotive industry, brought to light an interesting proposal pushed forward by Steve LeVine, the Washington correspondent over at Quartz, a global financial startup by The Atlantic Company.
LeVine, who has a pretty credential-packed resume, gave his two cents about possible options, including limiting Russia's elite's vacation options and putting Ukraine "under the NATO umbrella," but the real headline-grabber was his final plan:
Flood the oil market with our national reserves and watch Russia drown.
Because oil prices are up due to the risk of a supply disruption, Putin has a lot of leverage right now. But, as LeVine points out, economist Philip Verleger shows us that we have the perfect weapon to combat this:
"The tool is the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve, the 700-million-barrel underground cache of crude oil waiting in Texas and Louisiana for a rainy day (see chart below). In an overnight note to clients, Verleger argues that if the US were to ship just 500,000 barrels a day of oil onto the market, it would drive down prices by about $10 a barrel and cost Russia about $40 billion in annual sales. The US could keep doing this for years, he says. "[Russia's] GDP might drop 4%, which would certainly count as a 'consequence,'" he says. Half would come from lower oil prices and half from gas sales, whose prices Russia indexes to oil."
Saudia Arabia would have to sign off on the strategy and not cut back on production, but there's a chance this could happen. In fact, they've done something like this before:
"In 1985, Saudi Arabia decided to pump a lot more oil and increase its share of global oil sales. As a result, oil prices plunged by more than half, at one point in 1986 reaching $13 a barrel. The primary, unintended victim was the Soviet Union. 'The Soviet Union lost approximately $20 billion per year, money without which the country simply could not survive,' wrote former Russian prime minister Yegor Gaidar. The economy went into a tailspin, as then did the politics, and in 1991, the Soviet Union was no more."
Obviously this is a pretty out-there plan, but it almost has that "so crazy it just might work" kind of feel to it. And there are of course bigger questions that need to be asked.
Is this even our job? Should we go and play Boggle with the international economy just to stick it to Putin? There are lot of ramifications if we decide to knock over that domino.
As, Ra's Al Ghul reminded Bruce Wayne in Batman Begins, economics is now (and always has been) one of the most destructive tools in the old arsenal, and that's because of its wide reach. It is the lifeblood and motivator of almost everything else out there; when the Saudis put an economic chokehold on the Soviet Union back in the 80's, it wasn't exactly a pretty sight for all those involved.
And besides all that, there's probably tons of other fatal flaws with this plan that haven't even begun to be brought up, so have it you wise, hole-poking commenters!

Are Summer Camp Costs Deductible?
With school almost out for the summer, parents who work are starting to look for activities for their children to keep them occupied and supervised. The possibilities include sending a child to day camp or overnight camp. Parents faced with figuring out how to afford the price tag of these activities may wonder whether some or part of these costs may be tax deductible. At least two possible tax breaks should be considered: the dependent care credit in most cases, and the deduction for medical expenses in certain special situations.
Dependent care credit. To qualify for the dependent care credit, expenses must be employment-related. The child also must be under age 13 unless he or she is disabled.
The child care expenses must enable the parent to work or to look for employment. The IRS has indicated that the costs of sending a child to overnight camp are not employment-related. However, the costs of sending a child to day camp are treated like day-care costs and will qualify as employment-related expenses (even if the camp features educational activities). At the same time, the costs of sending a child to summer school or to a tutor are not employment-related and cannot be deducted even though they also watch over your child while you are at work..
In some situations, the IRS requires that expenses be allocated between child care and other, nonqualified services. However, the full cost of day camp generally qualifies for the dependent care credit, without an allocation being required. If the parent works part-time, camp costs may only be claimed for the days worked. However, if the camp requires that the child be enrolled for the entire week, then the full cost qualifies.
Amount of Credit. The maximum amount of employment-related expenses to which the child care credit may be applied is $3,000 if one qualifying individual is involved or $6,000 if two or more qualifying individuals are involved. If you earn over a certain amount, the credit may be reduced. The credit amount is equal to the amount of qualified expenses times the applicable percentage, as determined by the taxpayer's adjusted gross income (AGI). Taxpayers with an AGI of $15,000 or less use the highest applicable percentage of 35 percent. For taxpayers with an AGI over $15,000, the credit is reduced by one percentage point for each $2,000 of AGI (or fraction thereof) over $15,000 The minimum applicable percentage of 20 percent is used by taxpayers with an AGI greater than $43,000. Bottom line: those with higher incomes are entitled to a maximum child care credit for one qualifying dependent is $1,050 and $2,100 for two or more qualifying dependents.
The rules on the deductibility of camp costs are somewhat complicated, especially in borderline situations. Please check with this office if you have any questions.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Accuses Congress Members Of Blindly Funnelling Money To ICE So It Could Set Up 'Fake Universities To Trap Students'
As the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency faced fresh scrutiny on Wednesday over a sting that saw hundreds of foreign students arrested after being lured to apply for a fake university, New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez struck out at lawmakers for continuing to fund the embattled agency.
On Wednesday, The Detroit Free Press reported that 90 more students had been arrested in ICE's controversial immigration bust, bringing the total number of detainees to as many as 250 foreign students. The majority are believed to have come from India.
The revelation comes months after the outlet first reported in January that hundreds of foreign students had been arrested after enrolling at the "University of Farmington," a made-up Michigan college created by the Department of Homeland Security.
While ICE faced widespread condemnation over the new report, Ocasio-Cortez suggested that lawmakers should accept some of the blame for funnelling funding into the agency with little oversight.
"Earlier this year, Congress rushed to approve BILLIONS more $ for ICE + CBP," Ocasio-Cortez said, implicating the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency as well.
"I saw members voting YES w/o even a summary of the bill. Nobody cared then how we'd pay for it," she said. "Now ICE is setting up fake universities to trap students."
"Yet, we were called radical for opposing it," Ocasio-Cortez said.
"I see decisions made every day that cost the American public billions of dollars a year for bogus reasons and nobody asks how we pay for it," the New York representative said.
"None of the politicians who brand themselves 'fiscally responsible' ever raise concern about rushing to shower ICE & CBP w/ $billions with 0 guardrails or oversight," she asserted. Further, Ocasio-Cortez said: "None of them ask about how we pay for corrupt contracts or mass incarceration. Ask yourself why that is."
"Look out for those in politics who like to label themselves 'fiscally responsible,' yet only seem to care about the price of justice–not the cost of oppression," the self-proclaimed Democratic socialist said. "Everything has a price. And an unjust society is far costlier than one that invests in & values all people."
Since early on in her grassroots campaign, Ocasio-Cortez has been calling for ICE to be abolished.
Over the past year and a half, those calls have only grown, particularly in the wake of the Trump administration's widely condemned "zero tolerance" family separation policy.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez blasts Trump administration for cuts to food stamps, sharing that her family 'might've just starved' without them
Freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York slammed the Trump administration on Thursday over new changes to the food stamps program that will cause nearly 700,000 people to lose access to the welfare program.
The Trump administration on Wednesday finalized a rule, which would tighten work requirements for able-bodied adults enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). According to The Department of Agriculture, this would leave up to 688,000 people without food stamps as a result of the change.
Ocasio-Cortez hit back at the Trump administration on Twitter over the new rule, explaining that her family once relied on the program when her father died.
"My family relied on food stamps (EBT) when my dad died at 48," she wrote, referring to the acronym for the electronic benefits transfer which is provided each month through a debit-like card.
"I was a student," she continued. "If this happened then, we might've just starved."
"Now, many people will," she said. "It's shameful how the GOP works overtime to create freebies for the rich while dissolving lifelines of those who need it most."
The new rule closes "a loophole in current law, which gives states the flexibility to waive certain asset and income limits for individuals who are receiving both SNAP and other welfare benefits," NPR reported.
Some college students who benefit from SNAP worry that new work requirements would make juggling work and education virtually impossible. Carlina, a 35-year-old full-time San Jose State, told San Jose Inside that trying to balance a part-time job with enough hours to qualify for food stamps while also devoting time to her studies will only become harder under the new requirements.
"It's really hard to get out of that hole when you have to be in the hole to get help to begin with," she said.
Officials argued that the policy change would save the government over $5 billion over five years, and was not a necessity for certain groups as the US labor market thrives. (For perspective, the Trump administration is spending $16 billion bailing out farmers hit by the US-China trade war.)
"We need to encourage people by giving them a helping hand but not allowing it to become an indefinitely giving hand," said USDA Secretary Sonny Perdue. "This rule lays the groundwork for the expectation that able-bodied Americans re-enter the workforce where there are currently more job openings than people to fill them."
Changes to the program would also deliver a blow to retailers like Walmart, Target, Kroger, and dollar stores that depend on billions of dollars in food-stamp spending every year.
The USDA said that Americans redeemed about $61 billion in SNAP benefits last year, more than half of that total having been spent at larger stores like Walmart and Target.

Using a flatbed UV printer is the fastest, brightest, most cost-effective way to add color to a plaque, award, or sign.
From irregular shapes and sizes to custom artwork, the opportunities for adding personalized touches to your plaque, sign, or award are nearly endless at Pella Engraving Company.
One of the most important (and fun) steps of any project is incorporating customized colors and images. The fastest, brightest, and most cost-effective way to add a pop of color or an image to your project is with PEC's Direct Color Systems® UV printer.
Specialized ultra-violet lights instantly dry ink to create a clear image.
Flatbed UV printing is a type of digital printing that uses specialized ultra-violet lights to instantly dry ink. When engineers first began experimenting with UV light applications, their goal was to find a way to quickly dry gel nail polishes during manicures. As avid mani-pedi fans can attest, these experiments were a roaring success in that market. However, the experiments also indicated that ultraviolet light had a lot of potential in an entirely different market: printing.
The key to flatbed UV printing's success is its ability to cure printed ink almost immediately. Because the wet drops of ink don't have an opportunity to spread before drying, the images produced by a flatbed printer are vivid, sharp, and resilient to abrasions and solvents. PEC's flatbed printer is also able to print on unconventional materials like wood, ceramic tiles, plastics, glass, and a variety of metals.
PEC's UV printer can print colors and photos onto almost any material. The photo on this plaque was printed on a sheet of aluminum and then attached to the magnesium base.
So if you're looking for an innovative way to add colors, logos, photographs, government seals, and more to your plaque, sign, or award, Pella Engraving Company's UV printer might be just what you need! Check out our flatbed printing page to learn more and see some of the amazing projects we've completed using our UV printer.

Royal Ascot day four – Ward hoping to carry on Camp-ing
A searing Royal Ascot week moves into a fourth day – and the Group One action on course shows no sign of letting up in the Coronation Stakes and Commonwealth Cup.
But the big question on Friday is if the weather will stay on message and, crucially for punters, keep the ground quick or if forecast thunderstorms will drastically alter the terrain.
As the three-year-olds take centre stage in both feature races, uncertainty over conditions is a potential game-changer for all concerned – be it the cream-of-the-crop fillies over a mile in the Coronation or the speed generation in the Commonwealth.
Aidan O'Brien supplies two Classic winners at the top of the market in the former – Mother Earth, superior on Newmarket's good to firm ground in the 1000 Guineas but then only second in the French equivalent in more testing environs, and the supplemented Empress Josephine who came out narrowly on top in the mud at the Curragh.
Among their principal opposition, the ground is perhaps an imponderable for home hopes Primo Bacio and Alcohol Free – but at bigger odds, Fev Rover's contrasting fortunes in the English and Irish Guineas indicates a definite preference for a sound surface.
Many of the Commonwealth speedsters' connections will doubtless curse the rain if it comes in great quantity – although hot favourite Campanelle, bidding to double her Royal Ascot tally after last year's Queen Mary Stakes victory, did also win on the Group One Prix Morny in the soft at Deauville.
The juvenile fillies kick off the quality as the card opens with the Albany Stakes – and after the three-year-old middle-distance colts have also done battle in the King Edward VII, handicap conundrums abound in the final three races.
For punters, the weather warning applies throughout – to make sure they are not on shaky ground.
The key to the Coronation?
Aidan O'Brien supplies the two likely market leaders in the Group One Coronation Stakes (PA)
It is four years since Aidan O'Brien last won the Coronation Stakes, with Winter. He has given himself an outstanding chance again this year, though, by supplementing Irish 1,000 Guineas heroine Empress Josephine to join stablemate and Newmarket Classic winner Mother Earth. There will be plenty second-guessing what that could mean – as it did, in different circumstances, when Ballydoyle's potential six-strong Derby team was pared down, to no avail, to just Bolshoi Ballet. O'Brien is covering two bases this time – but his sons Joseph and Donnacha may yet outdo him, respectively with Pretty Gorgeous and Shale. The home defence, meanwhile, appears well-served too with Primo Bacio, Alcohol Free and several others.
Speed queen Campanelle back for more
Campanelle and Frankie Dettori won the 2020 Queen Mary Stakes (Alan Crowhurst/PA)
American challenger Campanelle proved herself for the compelling Royal Ascot combination of trainer Wesley Ward and Frankie Dettori in last year's Queen Mary Stakes. They conquered France in the Prix Morny too, but could not make it a top-level double at the Breeders' Cup. She faces a field full of rivals with strong form and major potential – but she and the Ward-Dettori axis will be very hard to desert for many. Ward is famed for his winners here, but has so far had a disappointing week. Perhaps his luck will change.
Alenquer – can we trust the form book?
Alenquer (left) just got the better of Adayar in the Classic Trial at Sandown (Alan Crowhurst/PA)
Alenquer's Sandown success from subsequent Derby hero Adayar makes him the outstanding candidate in the King Edward VII Stakes. The latter's impressive Epsom performance was a revelation – but the question facing those trying to assess the likely outcome here is how much Adayar improved in his Classic victory. Alenquer beat him half a length back in April, but the reopposing Yibir was just a further neck back in third. Messages are therefore mixed.
Ascot arrival for Boughey in Albany?

Newmarket trainer George Boughey is making a big name for himself in a breakthrough season, especially with his two-year-old string – three of whom are among the front eight in the betting for the Albany Stakes. It is surely a matter of when, not if, he opens his account at Royal Ascot. As Boughey nears 50 winners for this year, having already progressed exponentially from two in his debut campaign in 2019, any one of Cachet, Hellomydarlin or Epsom winner Oscula could prove the first of many on this famous stage.

Women's Ministries is a very important part of every church. Prayer is, or should be the number one priority in Women's Ministries. More can be accomplished through prayer than by all the combined giving and doing of every W.M. member. This does not, in any way, discredit the hours spent in witnessing, Bible study, fund-raising projects or devotions we have each month, all are important to a balanced ministry.
Our Women's Ministries meet once a month, on the third Wednesday. This is a time of devotion, prayer, and listening to the ones who have special needs.
We help support our Missionette Director in anyway that she might need our help. We help in different needs in our church. Each December for our monthly meeting we have a dinner with our Brotherhood for our Christmas get together.
Each year we have a project called Boxes of Blessings. These are shoe boxes that our ladies help fill for the children and are sent to the City of Refuge in Honduras. Our Women Ministries also helps support the City of Refuge financially.
Our Women's Ministries have ladies that give the Baby Showers and the Bridal Showers, and we all help in preparing food if we have a death.
We have a newsletter each month and this is so beautifully put together by Karen Coussons who also does our Sunshine Baskets when one of our ladies has been hospitalized. She also sends out Birthday and Anniversary cards to our ladies. It takes everyone to make a successful Women's Ministries.

Thinking again about white, middle aged, male leaders who think they succeed on their own merits while ignoring their advantages and other's disadvantages.
The Children of Calais is a life-sized sculpture of six children in poses echoing The Burghers of Calais by Auguste Rodin, but dressed in contemporary clothing. One of the figures holds a lifejacket in place of the city key held in Rodin's original.


GIBRALTAR is investigating footage which appears to show an off-duty policeman kicking a British woman during a protest at the border.
A leading lawyer on the Rock told the Olive Press today that authorities are collecting stills of the man from the clip before sending them to police bosses in Madrid.
"They're going to demand that he be suspended immediately," the well-placed source said.
"This protest was clearly used as an attempt to stir up trouble at the border.
Hundreds of off-duty Spanish police were joined by friends and family to protest a 'lack of resources and personnel' while demanding pay increases.
The protests are said to be a result of the sharp increase of drug smuggling and uncontrolled immigration into the Cadiz area.
They began marching in the nearby town of La Linea at 11am before ending up at the border at around 2pm.
The footage in question shows a woman driving a red Mercedes before her car becomes surrounded by off-duty cops and their supporters who begin waving their flags at the windows.
Witnesses said the Gibraltarian, who is believed to have had a child in the back, stopped her car when one of the protesters kicked her tyres.
She got out and approached a Spaniard before a brawl broke out.
The Brit was swarmed by up to five protestors, one of them who can be seen clearly kicking her in the stomach.
They can be heard shouting 'puta' (whore) at the mother before an on-duty cop forces her back into her car.
Leader of the Gibraltar Social Democrats Keith Azopardi said: "The demonstrations at the border by Spanish police unions today over pay claims have caused unacceptable delays and hindrances to innocent passers-by who have only wished to cross the border into Gibraltar.
"The tendency sometimes for demonstrators to use the frontier as a focal point for Spanish domestic claims is both unfortunate and unacceptable. These issues have nothing to do with Gibraltar.
"Equally the scenes observed today of anti-Gibraltar chants or aggressive behaviour towards Gibraltar cars simply display extremist tendencies that have nothing to do with legitimate claims being pursued in a reasonable manner.
The Gibraltar government has yet to comment.
