Quebec dairy mogul Lino Saputo had secret past dealings with U.S. mobster Joe Bonanno, then lied about it
Billionaire denied having past Mafia contacts in his memoir, but police evidence tells a different story
Lino Saputo turned his family's humble cheesemaking business into a multibillion-dollar global dairy empire and became one of the 10 richest people in Canada in the process.
But while amassing his $6.5-billion fortune, Saputo has also been dogged by allegations of having ties to powerful Mafia figures in both Canada and the United States.
The 82-year-old businessman has repeatedly denied those allegations, most recently in a memoir published last year. He devotes an entire chapter to disputing the claims.
"We respected the law, kept our distance from criminal organizations, and avoided crossing the wrong people," Saputo writes in Entrepreneur: Living our dreams.
But between 1964 and 1979, Saputo maintained a clandestine relationship with one of the most powerful gangsters in the U.S., according to police evidence uncovered by Enquête, Radio-Canada's investigative program.
The evidence, gathered by federal and state law enforcement officials in the 1970s, details personal and financial dealings between Saputo and Joseph Bonanno, considered one of the founding members of the American Mafia.
In 1980, a retired New York judge reviewed the police evidence as part of an administrative hearing.
The former judge determined Saputo was so closely linked to Bonanno that allowing him to do business in New York was not in the public interest.
Lunch with New York godfather
Before Saputo Inc. became the dairy industry giant it is today, employing 17,000 people around the world, the family operated a cheesemaking business from a modest building in Montreal's Saint-Michel neighbourhood.
In the early 1960s, the building was also home to the Saputo family, including Lino, then in his mid-20s, and his father Giuseppe.
It was here, in May 1964, that the Saputos had lunch with Bonanno.
At the time, Bonanno was in charge of one of the so-called Five Families, the crime syndicates that composed the New York Mafia.
Bonanno says in his autobiography, A Man of Honor, that he only met with the Saputos at the insistence of a mutual friend.
However, in an immigration document that he filed during his stay in Montreal, Bonanno claimed to have known the Saputos since the early 1960s. He calls them his "friends."
The May 1964 meeting resulted in a business proposal. Giuseppe Saputo drew up a letter offering to sell Bonanno a 20 per cent stake in three companies then owned by his family, in exchange for $8,000 (around $66,000 when adjusted for inflation).
In his memoir, Lino Saputo says his family had no idea who Bonanno was when they agreed to the deal.
When Bonanno was later arrested by Montreal police for an immigration violation, Saputo saw him described as "the king of the Mafia" in a newspaper headline.
According to Saputo's account, his father "rushed" to cancel the deal.
"We thought that was the end of it, as the agreement was never finalized," Saputo wrote.
But suspicions that he had ties to the Mafia continued to follow Saputo throughout the 1970s. They were unfounded, he said, and hurt his business.
"I felt victimized and cut off from Quebec society by the false allegations based solely on our Italian origins," he wrote.
A trip to Tucson
In 1978, under the auspices of one of his companies, Lino Saputo applied for a licence to operate a cheese-manufacturing business in New York state.
State officials were reluctant to grant the application after they learned of the 1964 business deal between Saputo and Bonanno.
During the administrative hearings into his application, Saputo said under oath that the meeting in Montreal was the first and only time he had met Bonanno.
Saputo's memoir notes simply that the "judge eventually rejected our request," adding that a competitor and a Quebec agriculture official testified on his behalf.
The reason, though, was that the judge had concluded in 1980 that Saputo gave "false, misleading and deceitful statements" about his ties with Bonanno.
Radio-Canada accessed all of the evidence that U.S. law enforcement submitted to the administrative hearings into Saputo's application.
Along with testimony from U.S. law enforcement officials, the 1,500 pages of evidence detailed how Saputo disguised interactions and financial dealings with Bonanno between 1964 and 1979.
During the hearings, Saputo was asked if he had seen Bonanno after May 1964. "No, sir," Saputo replied.
He was then asked: "Were you in Tucson, Arizona, on February 1, 1970?"
Saputo answered: "Not that I remember, sir."
But FBI informants had spotted Saputo and his wife, Mirella, visiting Bonanno at his home in Tucson on that day.
An FBI agent also told the New York hearings the Saputos were checked in under the name "Saparo" at a Tucson Holiday Inn between Jan. 30 and Feb. 1, 1970.
Though Bonanno had by this time "retired" as head of the New York crime syndicate that bore his family name, authorities believed he was still active in criminal activity in Arizona and California.
Investigators in the U.S. presented no other evidence that Saputo and Bonanno had met in person after 1970.
They did, however, present evidence indicating the pair remained in contact, at least until the end of the 1970s.
Notes to 'Lino'
Beginning in the summer of 1975, the Arizona Drug Control District, a cross-agency task force, placed Bonanno's Tucson home under surveillance.
Twice a week, Bonanno (then in his 70s) would dutifully put his trash cans by the curb. An undercover police van would drive by the house discreetly soon after.
Officers inside the van took the contents from the bins and filled them again with fake garbage — all in less than 45 seconds. They even plied Bonanno's Doberman with meat to prevent the dog from barking.
State and FBI investigators would then sift through Bonanno's garbage.
Bonanno was a diligent note-taker, tearing them up and throwing them out when he was done.
Between 1975 and 1979, police were able to piece back together around 6,000 notes and other documents from Bonanno's trash cans.
"We learned, by both studying him and watching him, that he was the most powerful Mafioso in the United States ... and had specific influence, we learned, in Canada and throughout Latin America," said Eugene Ehmann, a former investigator with the Arizona Drug Control District who played a leading role in the operation against Bonanno.
"Bonanno was still an actively known figure in New York ... He was the godfather, plain and simple."
Among the notes, investigators noticed references to "Lino." Several notes, for instance, seemed to suggest that Bonanno had helped organize a trip to California for him.
"Lino is a person of mine with no charge (1) at the hotel (2) no charge at the restaurant," reads the FBI translation of a note written in Italian.
In a recent interview with Radio-Canada, Ehmann (now retired) said that with help from the RCMP, his team determined "Lino" was Lino Saputo.
"They seemed to interact very smoothly with each other," Ehmann said of Saputo and Bonanno. "They just had a relationship, and it was a longtime one."
In 1979, authorities finally searched Bonanno's house itself. A few days later, the mobster dumped 1,200 notes in the trash, seemingly unaware he was still under surveillance.
This latest dump included newspaper articles from Quebec that discussed Bonanno and the Mafia.
Police also found lawyers' letters, financial statements and investment scenarios that linked Bonanno to Saputo and his businesses.
"[Bonanno] had obviously panicked and wanted to get rid of these documents which have — as we now have found — connected him more deeply in his relationships with Saputo Cheese," Ehmann said.
The liquido connection
The notes in Bonanno's garbage often referred to liquido, an Italian word for cash.
In several notes, Bonanno wrote that he needed to discuss liquido with someone called Peppe Freddo.
Bonanno received multiple calls from Peppe Freddo during the 1970s at telephone booths in a Tucson hospital, which were being monitored by law enforcement officials.
Ehmann said an FBI agent was occasionally lying on a stretcher nearby, trying to understand what was being discussed.
With the help of the RCMP, Ehmann said, agents in the U.S. concluded that Peppe Freddo was a code name for Giuseppe Borsellino.
Borsellino had been a business partner of Saputo's since the 1960s and was an early shareholder in his cheese businesses. He is also married to Saputo's sister, Elina.
Aside from their telephone conversations in the 1970s, Borsellino also corresponded with Bonanno. In one 1975 letter found by police, Borsellino apologizes profusely for failing to call at an agreed-upon time.
In another, Bonanno tells Borsellino: "I would like, if possible, to hear the voice of your brother-in-law and speak with him."
At the cheese-licensing hearings in New York, Ehmann and his colleagues presented evidence that Saputo colluded in funnelling $51,000 US to Bonanno (worth around $210,000 US today).
The money was withdrawn from an account belonging to a business owned by Borsellino's brother and was meant to pay an outstanding bill to one of Saputo's cheese companies.
But a disused money wrapper found in Bonanno's trash, along with several recovered notes, was evidence the cash wound up instead at Bonanno's home.
'False, misleading, and deceitful'
Law enforcement authorities presented their evidence about Saputo's ties to Bonanno over the course of a 10-day administrative hearing in 1980.
A retired appeals court judge, Charles D. Breitel, was appointed to preside over the hearing. He recommended the state refuse Saputo's application for a cheese-manufacturing licence.
In his recommendation, Breitel singled out the $51,000 in cash. He considered it a fact the money went to Bonanno "with the knowledge and collusion" of Saputo.
"Joseph Bonanno has had significant economic and transactional involvement over a substantial period of years with several Canadian cheese companies owned by the members of the Saputo family and by Lino Saputo in particular," Breitel wrote in his 1980 report.
The evidence, he said, pointed to a relationship that lasted between 1964 and 1979.
Breitel added: "Lino Saputo has attempted to conceal from the Department his and his companies' involvement with Bonanno, he has failed to furnish all the material information required by the Commissioner, and has made material statements that are false, misleading, and deceitful."
Breitel's determination was confirmed on appeal.
The investigation by U.S. law enforcement into Saputo's ties with Bonanno ended with the decision to withhold the cheesemaking licence.
Bonanno died in 2002 at the age of 97. His obituaries claimed he was the model for actor Marlon Brando's character in The Godfather.
Saputo Inc. went public in 1997. The company, which has operations in Australia, Argentina, the U.S. and the U.K., is worth an estimated $15 billion.
Saputo, a member of the Order of Canada, has never been charged with a criminal offence. He declined an interview request from Radio-Canada's investigative unit.
In a letter, Saputo's lawyer said his client has "never had ties to organized crime, be it in a direct or indirect manner."
Saputo's memoir refers to the "nightmare" of "false allegations" about being tied to the Mafia.
There is no mention in Saputo's book to Borsellino's links to Bonanno.
The one reference to Borsellino reads: "We also founded Petra, our real estate arm, now one of the largest private real estate companies in Québec, with over 8.3 million square feet of property in Montréal. My dear friend and brother-in-law Giuseppe Borsellino is president."
Borsellino has been in contact with other Mafia figures besides Bonanno.
In 1995, Borsellino and his wife, Elina Saputo, attended a wedding anniversary party for Nicolo Rizzuto and Libertina Manno.
They can be identified in a video of the event that was given to Radio-Canada by a confidential source.
Rizzuto's son, Vito, was also present. He was widely considered at the time to be the head of the Montreal Mafia.
Court documents have identified both Rizzutos as members of the Bonanno crime family.
A confidential police document obtained by Radio-Canada alleges Borsellino had contact with the Rizzutos at least until the mid-2000s.
Like Saputo, Borsellino has never been charged with a crime. He, too, declined to answer questions from Radio-Canada.
His lawyer said in a letter that Borsellino, who remains chair of Groupe Petra's board, had done "nothing wrong."
Radio-Canada asked Saputo to comment on his brother-in-law's contact with the Rizzutos. He did not respond.

When a desperate New York City detective comes knocking on Jazz's door asking for help with a new case, Jazz can't say no. The Hat-Dog Killer has the Big Apple--and its police force running scared with no leads. So Jazz and his girlfriend Connie hop on a plane to the big city and get swept up in a killer's murderous game.
Meanwhile, Jazz's dad Billy is watching...and waiting. -- Hachette Audio
A little over a year ago, I reviewed a YA novel called I HUNT KILLERS by Barry Lyga. I loved this thriller which was part Dexter/part CSI/part Criminal Minds, and I was very excited by the prospect that I HUNT KILLERS was the first book in a new series. The second novel GAME was recently released and I thought it might be fun to listen to the story this time around.
GAME picks up right where I HUNT KILLERS left off, and if I'm being entirely honest, I think you should read the books in order. Is it absolutely, positively necessary to appreciate GAME? Not really, but I do think the references to Jazz's family and his past might get confusing. And (this is the real reason)... GAME contains lots of spoilers about the previous book.
I HUNT KILLERS introduces you to the character of Jazz Dent, teenage son of the world's most infamous serial killer. In the first book, Jazz sets out to prove his innocence from some pretty horrible crimes in his hometown. In GAME, Jazz is asked to help the New York City Police Department track down the Hat-Dog Killer. He and his girlfriend Connie fly to New York and find themselves right smack dab in the middle of the murderer's "game."
I enjoyed GAME but I definitely didn't love it like I did I HUNT KILLERS. One of the reasons might be that the uniqueness of the story and the characters wasn't as refreshing as it was when I picked up the first book. I also had some issues with suspending reality in this story that I don't recall having with I HUNT KILLERS. However, I think the main reason I didn't appreciate this novel quite as much was because I listened to it rather than reading it. Because I had already "read" the first book, I had some preconceived notions about how the characters should sound; and the narrator didn't really match those.
That's not to say that I didn't enjoy GAME because I did. Once again, I was extremely impressed with the originality of the story. The mystery was extremely clever -- especially since it it technically a YA book; and while I was able to piece together a few of the clues, I honestly had no idea where the story was going to go. The crimes in GAME were particularly gruesome (did I mention that this book is not for under 14 readers?), and I appreciate that the author didn't "write down" for teens.
Furthermore, I really liked how well Mr. Lyga develops his teen characters. Jazz is just fascinating and I love how his confusion about his own ties to this father (and therefore his homicidal tendencies) are a constant struggle for him. I also like how he attempts to use his killer instincts for the greater good of society -- not quite like Dexter though! Because Jazz's father basically trained him to be a serial killer, Jazz has an uncanny ability to get in the mind of murderers; and I liked how he was able to make conclusions about the crimes because of his second sense.
In GAME, the reader also gets to know Jazz's girlfriend Connie a little better, and she proves that she definitely has some smarts and guts. Jazz's friend Howie is also back keeping things together on the home front, and he definitely provides some lighter moments. And I don't think this is giving away too much, but Jazz's father, Billy Dent, also makes a return and he is as creepy as ever!
There is no doubt that I'm hooked on this series and will read pretty much anything Mr. Lyga writes. He really is a terrific storyteller and keeps me on the edge of my seat (or treadmill in this case!) However, in the case of GAME, I actually have no choice but to anxiously await the next installment. There are cliffhanger endings and then there are cliffhanger endings, and in GAME, there is the mother of all cliffhangers! I had a feeling that this novel would eventually address a recurring theme in both of the books, but the way the author introduced the subject... on the last page of the novel, nonetheless, was almost cruel and unusual punishment for his readers!
I mentioned earlier that I listened to GAME rather than physically reading it, and I'm not sure it was the best approach for me. The narrator was Charlie Thurston and I'm pretty sure he was new-to-me. I thought he did a fine job with most of the novel, namely Jazz's character, but a few of the voices and accents didn't sit quite right to me. Mr. Thurston has read loads of books so I'm sure it was just me -- I did have some ideas about how I thought the characters should sound. I'm guessing if I had listened to I HUNT KILLERS rather than reading it, I probably would have enjoyed this one more.
I definitely recommend GAME to fans of thrillers but I do suggest reading I HUNT KILLERS first!

As we continue to evolve our perspective on the security market, I’m thrilled to announce that we’ve brought on security expert (and my former Netflix colleague) Bill Burns to help us better understand the minds of security-minded CIOs and their Chief Information Security Officers and how they maneuver the technical and business landscape to keep their companies safe and secure. Bill has 20 years of industry experience in information security architecture and IT operations, specializing in cryptography, business processes automation, and risk-based decision making.
Most recently, Bill was the Director of Information Security for Netflix, Inc. His team supported the development of over 1,000 streaming devices, enabled Netflix members to stream over 1 billion hours of entertainment per month, and ensured audit and regulatory compliance across a global public/private cloud environment. Bill’s team protected Netflix employees and members by continuously testing and monitoring systems for vulnerabilities and anomalies. They partnered with internal customers, outside partners and innovative startups to create resilient security infrastructure and services. Bill is an active advisor to several security startups, and is member of the RSA Conference Program Committee, ISSA CISO Forum Advisory Committee and ISSA CISO Career Lifecycle Committee.
For many years now at ScaleVP, we’ve recognized security as a ripe investment opportunity and have have invested in innovative security companies like Zone Labs (acquired by CheckPoint), ScanSafe (acquired by Cisco), FrontBridge (acquired by Microsoft), and TripWire (acquired by Thoma Bravo).
A number of major business and technology trends are shifting the security landscape and invigorating innovation and focus in the security market. BYOD, public cloud hosted services and SaaS applications are moving business data outside of the corporate firewall. Enterprises are increasingly moving business workflows to cloud, with SaaS spending growing 3x faster than other applications and IaaS CAGR topping 41% growth through 2016. By 2017, Gartner predicts half of all employers will require employees to bring their own device to work. Trends in enterprise compromises indicate that traditional security controls such as perimeter firewalls and signature-based security approaches have become less effective at protecting enterprises against well-funded adversaries, malicious insiders, and growing technology complexity.
Bill sees two main transitions that are impacting security:
1. Shift to Holistic, Automated Approach
Companies are moving from point solutions that address specific threats and vulnerabilities to a more holistic and automated approach. These provide a better understanding of business risks and add visibility in order to put better controls around them.
2. Empower Entire Organization to Focus on Security
Much like the focus of Bill’s team at Netflix, InfoSec teams are empowering the entire enterprise to be security-aware, so everyone thinks about security.
“Business is about taking risks and InfoSec teams need better tools to help companies take smart risks. Security teams can no longer focus on a ‘protect the castle’ mindset – corporate data AND infrastructure are now outside the firewall, and employees are doing meaningful work from their own devices. Rather than try to keep everyone out, security models have evolved to ‘assume they are going to break in’ and have a plan for what to do about it. Security teams are shifting their budgets from largely preventative controls to a mix of prevention, sophisticated detection and coordinated response in order to keep the organization more resilient.”
We’re thrilled to have Bill join the ScaleVP team and we remain excited about new opportunities in security that help enterprises address these new trends. If you are building new security solutions that address these trends, we would love to talk to you.

Victoria (played by Laia Costa) is young, Spanish and out late clubbing in Berlin. With not enough time to go home before her shift, she’s heading straight to work to kip for a couple of hours and then open up the café for the early morning trade. Some lads flirt with her as leaves the club and she lingers. The gang are trying to steal a car. But is Victoria bothered? Soon she’s helping them steal booze under the nose of a sleeping corner shop owner, jay walking, enjoying an illicit rooftop drink and taking Sonne (Frederick Lau) back to the café. Young, risk-taking and light fingered.
Wilhem and Medné’s organic café – it’s a real business – conveniently has an out of tune piano and the action rests there a while to fill in Victoria’s musical backstory. Where will the night’s madness end? Just over an hour into the film, the pace (thankfully) quickens and the previously absent jeopardy is introduced. Up to that point the most frequently repeated line of the film must be:
“I have to go. I have to open the café at seven.”
enormously long takes in Children of Men appeared on cinema screens.
The camera in Victoria is like her shadow and never strays to far from the titular character. Almost becoming another silent character, it nips into the ladies loos, wobbles up streets, climbs ladders, gets in and out of cars, is shot at and eventually stands still for the last minute of the film. With all the bobbing around I’d recommend sitting fairly far back in the cinema to allow your neck to rest. The released film was only the third and final take the crew shot, though the outline script was rehearsed in smaller chunks over ten days. [The film was shot on a Canon EOS C300 camera without a bulky Steadicam harness. Canon’s interview with cinematographer Sturla Brandth Grøvlen is a great read.]
The cast do well to keep the emotional interest in each other and allow their eyes to dart realistically as the scenes unfold. Victoria speaks English while the gang often revert to German which she doesn’t understand (though the audience can follow through subtitles). It requires a lot of concentration, particularly when some of the dialogue is whispered. With the real time nature of the story, the constant chattering of the improvised script all becomes a bit too much at points and it is a relief when the actors’ mics are faded down and Nils Frahm’s soothing soundtrack is allowed to take over for a few minutes.
Sturla Brandth Grøvlen certainly deserves his top billing as the first name that appears when the credits finally roll. To make your own mind up on whether the plot rivals the quality of the craft, you can see Victoria at the Queen’s Film Theatre between Thursday 1 and Friday 14 April. (Don’t forget your picnic.)

Improved data clustering using multi-trial vector-based differential evolution with Gaussian crossover
Many algorithms have been proposed to solve the clustering problem. However, most of them lack a proper strategy to maintain a good balance between exploration and exploitation to prevent premature convergence. Multi-Trial Vector-based Differential Evolution (MTDE) is an improved differential evolution (DE) algorithm that is done by combining three strategies and distributing the population between these strategies to avoid getting stuck at a local optimum. In addition, it records inferior solutions to share information about visited regions with solutions of the next generations. In this paper, an Improved version of the Multi-Trial Vector-based Differential Evolution (IMTDE) algorithm is proposed and adapted for clustering data. The purpose here is to enhance the balance between the exploration and exploitation mechanisms in MTDE by employing Gaussian crossover and modifying the sub-population distribution between the strategies. To evaluate the performance of the proposed clustering, 19 datasets with different dimensions, shapes, and sizes were employed. The obtained results of IMTDE demonstrate improvement in MTDE performance by an average of 12%. Our comparative study with state-of-the-art algorithms demonstrates the superiority of IMTDE in most of these datasets because of the effective search strategies and the sharing of previous experiences in generating more promising solutions. Source code is available on Github: https://github.com/parhamhadikhani/IMTDE-Clustering.

The coating on the outer wall of high precision aluminum alloy casting can not only reflect light but also prevent corrosion. Different coatings for oil tanks have different reflective properties, and the reflective performance of coatings is expressed by reflection index. For example, the reflection index of white coating is 90.0, that of sky blue coating is 85.0, and that of light gray coating is 57.0. It can be seen that the white coating has good reflective performance, and coating the outer surface of high precision aluminum alloy casting with white coating can reduce the evaporation consumption of the oil tank.

Water/wastewater rates for 2021
Starting on January 1, 2021, new water and wastewater rates come into effect. A new rate schedule for 2021-2024 was set in 2020.
Water and wastewater rates vary depending on where you live and the system needs of your community.
Select your water system from the drop down below to learn more about your water rates.
Scroll down to use the water/wastewater bill calculator to find out how much your monthly bill should be.
How rates are set
The County worked with Hemson Consulting Ltd. to set water and wastewater rates for 2021 - 2024. Public consultation on the rates took place in the summer of 2020 through news media, social media, website posting, and the Speak Up, Oxford! online portal. Staff also reached out to stakeholder groups including the industrial, commercial and institutional sectors and local Chambers of Commerce via direct mailings.
The water and wastewater rates vary by community. Oxford County provides municipal water services to 21 communities, 11 of those also have municipal wastewater services. All of the wastewater systems and three urban water systems are maintained as independent financial systems, while the township water systems are grouped into one financial system to achieve economies of scale.
The figure below illustrates the general methodology used in determining the full cost recovery water and wastewater rate forecast. The rates were calculated on a full/lifecycle cost basis including financing of operations, capital and reserves.
Water and wastewater rates are set every four years to cover operating costs as well as future capital investment that ensures the systems run safely, efficiently and sustainably into the future. Both water and wastewater rates are calculated based on a customer's water consumption.
Other County Program Fees
Source Water Protection Program
There are four Source Protection Plans (SPPs) applicable to Oxford County that have been under development by local Conservation Authorities and County staff since 2006. In order to support the program activities within these plans, incentives for implementing best management practices; retention of experts to assist with risk management plans; administration; and, where necessary, purchase of highly vulnerable lands, requires funding.
To fund this program, a Source Water Protection monthly charge was billed to every water customer at a rate of $0.03/m3, with a minimum charge of $1.20 per month. As part of the program a review was undertaken and this charge will cease January 1, 2021.
Community Servicing Assistance Program (CSAP)
Starting April 1, 2017, the monthly Community Servicing Assistance Program (CSAP) fee has been suspended. The CSAP fee was developed to provide financial assistance to existing landowners where municipal water and sewers have been extended to replace private water and wastewater systems.
Existing customers were charged $10.00 per-water service and $10.00 per wastewater service per year.
While CSAP assistance funding remains available on approved projects, until the reserve balance is fully depleted, the charge has been suspended from water and wastewater bills.
Rates & By-laws
Follow the links below to view current by-laws related to water and sewer rates and usage.
For more information, view the Sewer Use By-law Enforcement page.
New Construction Water Charges
The charge for construction water will be based upon the lateral pipe size leading to the property, and include an assumption of 15m3 of consumption per month.
Construction water charges will begin after an approved property line inspection. Once the property has a water meter and ERT installed, the charges will be changed to the metered charges for water and wastewater. Billing information is to be provided to the County when scheduling a property line inspection.
This charge will be effective for all properties under construction whose property line inspection occurs after January 1, 2021.

It's a ruff life! Ice-T's wife Coco poses with her pups in teeny tiny two-piece
They are her pride and joy, so it seems.
So it's no surprise Ice-T's wife Coco combined her two favourite things on a recent photoshoot - bikinis and her English Bulldogs.
The 33-year-old blonde posed up in one of her favourite two-pieces as she lounged on a New Jersey beach with her loves Maximus and Spartacus.

Reality TV star Coco takes in a bit of sun with her English Bulldogs Maximus and Spartacus in Asbury Park, New Jersey on June 23
The reality star, real name Nicole Natalie Marrow, slipped into a leopard print string bikini for the unconventional shoot.
She made sure to keep things coordinated, with matching pink lipstick and a pink beach towel, holding the dogs in her arms as she puckered up.
Stretching out on the sand in Asbury Park, Coco flaunted her figure to full effect, doing her best pin-up poses.
Spartacus and his son Maximus were camera-ready and well-behaved, giving their best bullish faces to the photographer while looking after their mum.

No stranger to photoshoots, the dogs joined Coco last month as she posed on rocks near the shore and pretended to read a book in a zebra print bikini.
Before that, she was seen cycling around her bike in a tiny blue swimsuit.
Coco and her husband Ice-T are currently enjoying some down time after his rap documentary was released earlier this month.
Running for it: Coco covered up for a second to run up the beach in a pink robe and hat with her pups
The documentary takes fans past the bling to a place where lyricists discover the craft of hip-hop, and features interviews with KRS-One, Rakim, Chuck D, Ice Cube, Eminem.
Ice-T and his wife, who star in their own reality series Ice Loves Coco, renewed their wedding vows on their 10th anniversary in Hollywood last year.
They are also set to co-star in the drama, King Dog, next year.

“Beowulf” portrays the philosophical views of life that many people still regard today. Those views helped to shape and define the ideal Dane in their culture. For example, the traits looked for among the Danes were honesty, bravery, and humility. These three “requirements” in the Danes were but a few of numerous, admirable qualities these people possessed. But their most obvious philosophical view on living was for the good guy to always beat the bad guy. Their lives were about protecting others by destroying monsters; in the case of “Beowulf”, the monsters were literal. Grendel was one of three monsters that Beowulf went to destroy over the course of the poem. The Danes viewed Grendel and other monsters like him as stupid animals. The Danes’ view on life was to always stay brave and honest while protecting the weak. Through fighting these forces of evil, they found their meaning for existence while Grendel never did. One last philosophical view of life for the Danes was a resignation to death, especially in the case of Beowulf. In Beowulf’s final battle against the dragon he fought even though he had grown older and knew there was a good chance for him to die. His willingness to die for his people gave him not only recognition as a true hero but also a profound meaning to his life. In...

In today’s world, the media is an important part of most people’s lives. The media is most assuredly like the Shaper of Grendel. In Grendel, the Shaper had a lot of influence. The people listened to what he said and started to adopt his philosophies and found out most of their knowledge form him. This is role is now filled by the media. If people want to find out information on something, their first resource generally is the media. Also, the media holds a fair bit of power just like the Shaper. Because of this, the media can influence people’s thoughts and philosophies. In this position, the Shaper had and the media has a certain responsibility to not abuse the power too much.

- There are many similarities and differences between the movie "Beowulf and Grendel", to the poem. Major differences between the movie and the poem would be Grendel himself. In the poem, he is described as an evil monster born from two demons. In the movie, Grendel is actually human, but known as a troll to the warriors and Danes. The poem doesn’t give the background of Grendel or show how the Danes killed his father and the possible reason of his revenge, like in the movie. If the witch, Selma, was not included in the storyline of the movie, the audience would not have known key information that she was used to show from more flashbacks....

- Many different works of literature are later remade into a visual piece. The visual versions, however, do not usually tell the story the same as exact as their written counterparts. In the case of the epic poem, Beowulf, this is also true. There are many similarities between the movie and the poem, and there are also many differences. In the opening seconds of the film you are already able to see differences from the poem. The poem begins with Grendel, who is a demon of pure evil which has spawned from hell, attacking Danes in the mead hall, killing all of them.... [tags: beowulf, grendel, danes]

- The various adaptations of the Beowulf legend provide a form of courageousness. The following are sources concerning the Beowulf myth: Grendel, a novel by John Gardner, and Beowulf and Grendel, a film directed by Sturla Gunnarson. These pieces contain acts of genuine bravery, but they also depict instances where lack of courage is shown.

- The book Grendel, written by John Gardner, and the poem Beowulf, translated by Seamus Heaney, both have very distinct opinions on what role each character plays. The translator of Beowulf and the writer of Grendel follow the idea that everyone has a story. A story is the writer’s perspective on a character’s personality, the way people in the story see and treat the character, and the way it ties the ideas together. There are many examples in these two writings of this concept, but the main instances connect with the lives of Grendel, Beowulf, and Unferth.... [tags: Epic Poems, Grendel, Anglo-Saxon]

- In both works, Beowulf and Grendel, Grendel himself is generally given the same connotations. He is given kennings, called names, referred to as the evil spawn of Cain, and even viewed as a monster; but why. Why in both books is he a wicked, horrible, person who is harshly excluded from everyone. After stumbling upon John Gardner's book, it was halfway expected that some excuse would be made for Grendel; that he wasn't really the inexorable monster the thanes in Beowulf portrayed him as.

He offers them such items as mailcoats, swords, helmets, gold rings, mead, beer, shelter and companionship. This society also places great value on kinship.

The five-year-old Australian shepherd figured out how to open his kennel and then two doors at the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region.
“He had to actually push down the handle, push the door open and walk out in both cases,” Gretchen Pressley of the Humane Society said. “He let himself out of the kennel room …and let himself out of the building,”
The video does not show the dog actually opening the doors but he did leave the building. Pressley said that has never happened before. Maybe they need to shepherd-proof the building, this dog is SMART.
This breed is known as being one of the most intelligent dogs around and they excel at tasks that test their alertness and challenge their athletic ability.
If the owners don’t claim him, he already has a place with the woman who found him wandering her neighborhood after his jailbreak.

This was a good movie. I would give it 6 stars if I could. This is a very realistic story, of a very tragic and beautiful couple in Belgium. But, the Ballad of Alabama & Monroe will certainly leave you believing in love, at its core. And then bring you right back into reality. I will have to come back to this movie, but I will have to give it some time, to let my heart strings heal.

I would advise not watching this movie with your significant other. It will bring about tough questions that you probably rather not deal with during romantic evening at home. :-) I watched it alone and was truly moved by the performances and great music that underpinned every gut wrenching turn of the story.

girl in a bad place
How far would you go to save a friend?
Mailee and Cara take care of each other. Mailee is the star of their high school’s plays; Cara is the stage manager. Mailee can’t keep her life together; Cara has enough organizational skills for the both of them.
So when the girls are invited to visit the Haven, a commune in the mountains near their suburban Montana town, it seems like a cool new adventure to go on together. And it is, sort of — until Cara starts spending every waking minute there. Mailee isn’t sure if she’s losing Cara to the Haven or just losing her, but either way, she doesn’t know what to do about it.
Then Cara asks Mailee to come visit the commune and tells her the news: She’s decided to move to the Haven permanently. Mailee knows in her heart, in her gut, that this is a terrible idea. The Haven just feels like a bad place. And when she discovers that the “welcome ceremony” involves a three-day hike to some cave, Mailee is sure: They aren’t safe in this Haven. But is it already too late to save her best friend . . . from herself?
"I adored this intense, suspenseful, and highly original examination of female friendship, self-discovery and survival. I was rooting for Mailee and Cara from the first page to the last. Girl in a Bad Place is a book that's impossible to put down and Kaitlin Ward is an author to watch." --Courtney Summers, New York Times Bestselling author of Sadie
"Eerie and gripping, Girl in a Bad Place will grab you and not let go until the last page." --Kara Thomas, author of Little Monsters and The Darkest Corners
"Kaitlin Ward's Girl in a Bad Place is a hold-your-breath, twisty thriller that is well-plotted, mysterious, and pulse-pounding. I couldn't stop reading this story about friendship, danger, and survival!" --Jennifer Mathieu, author of Moxie and The Truth About Alice
"Intense doesn't even begin to describe this propulsive read."
--Kieran Scott, author of What Waits in the Woods
"A good place for young fans of Lois Duncan and Christopher Pike." --Kirkus Reviews
"Tackles important issues of manipulation and safety with a fast-paced story that could be ripped from the headlines."

Sleep deprivation in caregivers is rampant. There is good news on the horizon. A 30 minute nap is beneficial to your health!
We have all heard of the negative effects of sleep deprivation in caregivers : forgetfulness, lowered alertness,premature aging, decrease creativity, lower immune system, increased risk of stroke, diabetes, unwanted weight gain and increased possibility for a heart attack.
Caregiver statistics show caregivers are often exhausted at the end of the day. Many find that they are still unable to sleep. “Varying studies have documented that approximately 70% of caregivers for people with dementia report sleep problems, 60% report sleeping less than 7 hours, and 10-20% use alcohol to go to sleep and/or sleep medication. In data collected by the California Caregiver Resource Centers, 41% of caregivers said they are awakened during the night by the care receiver. ”
According to the National Sleep Foundation an average adult requires 7 to 8 hours of quality sleep a night. To those providing care for someone at home that is up and down all night, this is not a laughing matter. If fact, sleep deprivation affects a person’s sense of humor. There has been a strong correlation between the hours a caregiver sleeps and their level of depression.
There is some good news on the horizon. According to a new study published in the Endocrine Society’s Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM), a 30 minute nap can actually decrease stress and improve the immune system.
The Benefits of a Nap
It has long been know that a short nap can improve alertness, but the effects of a nap on the endocrine system and immune system was never studied.
The results found that changes in hormone levels were actually normalized when a person was permitted to nap, after a night of only 2 hours sleep. This is good news for the millions of caregivers that are sleep deprived.
A nap should no longer be viewed as a guilty pleasure. It should be incorporated into your self care program everyday.

I am very alarmed that CAL FIRE could take over our fire services. CAL FIRE, which used to be called CDF (California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection is still the official name], is responsible for the huge Cedar Fire in San Diego [which occurred in October 2003].
When the idiot hiker lit a flare because he was lost, a small fire started. A helicopter was in the air and asked permission to put it out. CDF denied permission because nightfall was in two hours and the “let it burn” policy. They were ignorant of the fact that the fire was in grass and high winds were predicted. The helicopter watched in horror and asked again, but was denied.
I will never forget my family member living in Julian calling me and alarmed because the aircraft were downed. Meanwhile, I watched on TV the aircraft fight the San Bernardino fire for an hour after CDF downed all planes in San Diego — memorable because the palm trees were cherry bombs when aflame in San Bernardino.
The Cedar Fire destroyed my sister’s large home in Alpine. For one week the footage of a photographer in a California Highway Patrol (CHP) helicopter was available online. It showed how one helicopter attempted to fight five canyon fires in Alpine.
Of course, the photographer didn’t have CHP permission to film and the footage was removed. To our knowledge there was no dismissal of the CDF supervisor in San Diego county.
No, I don’t want to lose the Idyllwild Fire Protection District (IFPD) and I put my vote in for the increase [Measure G]. Why put all our eggs in one basket? San Diego shows it doesn’t work, as they didn’t have a county fire department.
If we have a major fire, IFPD would be there and CAL FIRE would back them up. CDF has a history of a 45-minute response time to a fire in this state. Not to mention, they have started many fires with their “controlled burns” during high winds.
CAL FIRE is at the political mercy of our state politicians and their firefighters gave the following complaints after the Cedar Fire: CDF was willing to sacrifice the homes in Julian in order to “save” the downtown and ignored county homes burning while they had 150 rigs sitting by protecting Viejas casino.
Save IFPD because they will save your home.

Autumn is absolutely my favourite season. I love the bursting of colours of the trees and the first cold days (I do love wearing scarves and warm coats), the mountains here around are just splendid and leave me breathless with their beauty.
This season is a perfect moment to go out for some naturalistic photography, and with my photo group we planned an excursion on the French Alps, in the small village of Névache. The excursion was part of a little course on naturalistic photography done with the collaboration of Dante Alpe, a professional naturalistic photographer.
We met early in the morning, then drove for about a hour and a half and got to Névache. Just a few minutes to prepare our equipment and the walking began, through charming larch woods and with a fabulous view on the peaks around us. We walked for a few hours, sometimes stopping by to take some photos and to listen to Dante Alpe’s explanations on the plants or the animals.
We had lunch at 2.245 mt of height, by the beautiful Lac de Cristol. We were a happy group of photographers, sharing ideas, experiences (and food!), helping each other to take better pictures and confronting their equipment. All around us was so calm and silent, with a predominance of warm brown tones.
After walking round the lake for some inspiration, we began our descent, passing through another path and once again being fascinated by the beauty of the place and learning more and more about those woods and photography at each step.
Blueberry plants were awesome with sideways sunlight. And we even were lucky enough to still find some blueberries… delicious!
We ended the day very tired but satisfied. We learnt and experienced that naturalistic photography is not for everybody, or at least a branch of this kind of photography. You need to know the places very well, walk a lot and be ready to go out very early in the morning or wait till night approaches to catch the best lights, to be extremely patient (especially when photographing animals), and be prepared to go for an excursion to photograph something and then coming home with totally different shots from the ones you had planned (but this applies to every kind of photography, or at least the one that is not in a studio).
I’ve alway loved naturalistic photography. I do love walking for hours, alone yet surrounded by so much life. I love the silence and the peace you feel in those places, and I love that sense of completeness and satisfaction at the end of an excursion, when you see your photographs and think “not bad at all”.
It’s completely different from street photography, and both genres allow me to experiment different styles and techniques. While street photography for me is mostly black and white, naturalistic photography is the explosion of colours (even though sometimes black and white gets more to the essence in certain types of pictures). It’s about telling different stories and trying to give them the right voice. It’s two opposite philosophies and ways of living, but in the end each one influences the other.
It’s about living the present, get the best out of what you are living and catching the moment.

‘Uzhavar Sandhais', farmers' markets, seem to have their own customer base in the city's suburbs despite the mushrooming of retail vegetable stores.
Of the six farmers' markets in Tiruvallur district, the ones in Avadi and Tiruvallur attract many customers. Proximity to the railway station and bus terminus brings in nearly 1,000 customers daily to the facility in Avadi. While the market in Avadi sells five tonnes of produce daily, the sales at Tiruvallur touches nearly seven tonnes every day.
S.Lakshmi of Pattabiram prefers to shop in the Uzhavar Sandhai as it offers quality vegetables at a nominal price. “Normally, such markets sell locally grown produce. Here, I also get to buy veggies from hilly regions such as carrots and potatoes sold at least Rs.3 less than the other retailers,” she said.
The working hours of the market have been extended till 7 p.m. as many people returning from work buy vegetables.
Farmers too preferred to sell their produce here as there are more takers here. V. Umapathy of Pammadhukulam said, though the market in Red Hills is closer, he does not mind travelling a few more km to Avadi as there are more takers. Among the southern suburbs, the first uzhavar sandhai was established at Pallavaram in 2001. Initially it made roaring business with an uninterrupted supply of farm fresh vegetables, especially from the Pushpagiri – Padappai belt, about 15 km from Tambaram.
Staff of the Agriculture Department said the Pallavaram market sold more than 10 tonnes of vegetables daily. The sales have now come down to half that quantity as people do not want to travel long distance.
Similar markets are functioning at Nanganallur, Nemilichery, Medavakkam and Guduvanchery.
Sakunthala, who runs a mobile eatery in West Tambaram, said opening more such markets in commercial hubs would be of immense benefit, she added.
Sale of vegetables in Medavakkam has also become dull. As farmers in villages nearby cultivated vegetables, it had the potential for doing brisk sales. “We are taking measures to bring more produce and create awareness about the market,” said staff of Agriculture Department.
P.Arjun, hailing from Udupi, Karnataka, suggested establishment of cooperative outlets on the lines of Bangalore.
