His progeny have been as sought after as ever in the sales ring ever since the announcement was made, providing many of Swettenham’s biggest clients with a huge windfall in the process. Toronado’s long-lasting purple patch could hardly have come at a more welcome time for the Swettenham Stud team, who announced only last year that he’d be staying in Australia permanently instead of shuttling Down Under from his previous base at Haras de Bouquetot in the Northern Hemisphere. I think it’s a great trait for a stallion to have where you can buy any horse by Toronado and the chances are they’re going to have ability.” “He can produce anything, but there’s certainly no type of horse that’s better than the other. “I think he’s had more Australian stakes winners that are fillies than colts and geldings, so he’s a very good stallion and he’s consistently producing good sorts and good runners – male and female, speed horses and staying horses. The High Chaparral sireline is typically colt biased, but his fillies are absolutely flying. “His colts and geldings are flying in Hong Kong and in Australia, it seems to be the fillies that are flying the flag for him recently. “The market’s appetite for them is strong and they’re great sales horses. “The run he’s having is super and it’s across the board,” he said. What has pleased Swettenham the most, however, is the diversity among his stakes winners, an area in which Heritage feels that Toronado doesn’t get the credit he deserves. Toronado (Ire) | Standing at Swettenham Stud Having stood last season at a career-high fee of $88,000 plus GST, Toronado has more than justified his fee increase this season, siring more stakes winners than the likes of Zoustar, Written Tycoon and Fastnet Rock, all of whom commanded significantly higher fees in 2022. “Everything that the stallion has done to date has been off a $20,000 service fee, so with the quality of mares that he received last season off the $88,000 fee, it’s very exciting.” A season to remember on and off the track He’s still a young sire, he’s only 13 years old so they’ll get value for money with whatever they spend on it. “It’ll be very interesting to see where the market values him at. “We’ll just sit back, leave it unreserved and I’m sure that Lot 1 of the Chairman’s Sale will be a very popular lot. “Such is the market’s demand for them, at the Chairman’s Sale this year we’ll be offering a lifetime breeding right, which has never happened with Toronado before,” Hermitage revealed. His recent run of racetrack success, combined with another stellar season in the sales ring in which his progeny have once again sold for up to $850,000, has prompted Swettenham to take a leap of faith with their flagship stallion, offering a lifetime breeding right in one of Australia’s hottest sires for the very first time. Add into the mix another eye-catching win for his unbeaten son Kovrov (Fr) in France and a runner in the G1 Dubai Sheema Classic at Meydan on Saturday night, and it has been quite the week for the Swettenham Stud stallion.

On June 29th, Restaurant City Facebook will be closing its doors. The gateway in and out was supervised by the church, applying ecclesiastical law. From the Middle Ages onwards, the dominant idea was that marriage was a sacrament. I will then consider attitudes towards family law before returning to my title: Is Family Law law?įamily law as practised in this country is a relatively recent creation. I will touch on its history and describe what it has become. The topic I have chosen is family law itself. I have tried to find a subject that would be worthy of Nicholas’s consideration. When he left the circuit in 2001, the FLBA took him for a farewell boat trip on the Manchester Ship Canal, and I was touched when they did the same for me sixteen years later, sending me on my way with gifts of a flat cap and a mug with a whippet on it. He had become the circuit’s first FDLJ in 1996 and to this day he is warmly remembered by family lawyers from Chester to Carlisle. “You’ll love it”, he said, and he was right. I remain permanently dispirited about much of what is (and what is not) going on in the family justice system, although since family cases now represent only about half my workload, I feel both out of touch and, to an extent, disempowered.Ī lesser man with those feelings might have called it a day on family law, but Nicholas was not that man and in 2010 he became President of the Family Division for all too short a time before his retirement in 2012.Īs a new judge during his short presidency, my abiding memory is of being called into his room and coming out five minutes later having agreed to spend half my working life on the Northern Circuit for the foreseeable future. For example, during a 2006 lecture as a judge of the Court of Appeal – a memorial lecture no less, in honour of Allan Levy and David Hershman – he said this: He was also unsparingly frank for a senior judge. By that I mean that he was tough (I bear the scars) but also humane, with a combination of erudition, energy and social conscience that found expression in thoughtful, well-written decisions that clarified and developed the law, with an equal concern for good practice and procedure. For me, Nicholas was a beau idéal, an excellent example of everything a family lawyer and judge should be. It is therefore an honour and a pleasure to contribute this fourth lecture to the series celebrating Nicholas Wall. It is a chance to celebrate their memory and to pass it on. It is a tribute to someone, no longer with us, who was recognised by their colleagues as being special. But the memorial lecture is in a class of its own. The after-dinner speech, with its unrivalled possibilities for enriching or wrecking a convivial evening must be up there somewhere. Some would urge the claims of the shrieval lecture, such as those given at Hereford or Oxford. Moving up, there is the glory of a keynote address, perhaps even to an international audience. There is the common or garden presentation, maybe as a panel member, maybe as a solo speaker. There is a hierarchy in the matter of talks.
Naturally, then, a search for culprits has ensued. Type 2 diabetes, closely related to obesity, has risen in tandem in both countries.Īt best, we can conclude that the official guidelines did not achieve their objective at worst, they led to a decades-long health catastrophe. Today, two thirds of Britons are either obese or overweight, making this the fattest country in the EU. In the next 20 years that figure more than trebled. In the UK, the line is flat for decades until the mid-1980s, at which point it also turns towards the sky. In the US, the line rises very gradually until, in the early 1980s, it takes off like an aeroplane. Look at a graph of postwar obesity rates and it becomes clear that something changed after 1980. But instead of becoming healthier, we grew fatter and sicker. We replaced steak and sausages with pasta and rice, butter with margarine and vegetable oils, eggs with muesli, and milk with low-fat milk or orange juice. The most prominent recommendation of both governments was to cut back on saturated fats and cholesterol (this was the first time that the public had been advised to eat less of something, rather than enough of everything). In 1983, the UK government issued advice that closely followed the American example. Doctors base their advice on them, food companies develop products to comply with them. The guidelines shaped the diets of hundreds of millions of people. I n 1980, after long consultation with some of America’s most senior nutrition scientists, the US government issued its first Dietary Guidelines. On reading Yudkin’s introduction, he felt a shock of recognition. Eventually, he tracked down a copy after submitting a request to his university library. When Lustig returned to California, he searched for Pure, White and Deadly in bookstores and online, to no avail. Yudkin found himself fighting a rearguard action, and he was defeated. But by the time he wrote his book, the commanding heights of the field had been seized by proponents of the fat hypothesis. Yudkin led a diminishing band of dissenters who believed that sugar, not fat, was the more likely cause of maladies such as obesity, heart disease and diabetes. Its central tenet was that a healthy diet is a low-fat diet. When Yudkin was conducting his research into the effects of sugar, in the 1960s, a new nutritional orthodoxy was in the process of asserting itself. For at least the last three decades, the dietary arch-villain has been saturated fat. This represents a dramatic shift in priority. Sugar has become dietary enemy number one. In the UK, the chancellor George Osborne has announced a new tax on sugary drinks. In the US, the latest edition of the government’s official dietary guidelines includes a cap on sugar consumption. We read almost every week of new research into the deleterious effects of sugar on our bodies. But, unlike Yudkin, Lustig is backed by a prevailing wind. Lustig was certainly putting his academic reputation at risk when he embarked on a high-profile campaign against sugar. Perhaps the Australian scientist intended a friendly warning. He died, in 1995, a disappointed, largely forgotten man. Prominent nutritionists combined with the food industry to destroy his reputation, and his career never recovered. “If only a small fraction of what we know about the effects of sugar were to be revealed in relation to any other material used as a food additive,” wrote Yudkin, “that material would promptly be banned.” The book did well, but Yudkin paid a high price for it. all created hugely popular cities and camps that were safe havens on every planet. Huge communities of resource farmers, various skillset peoples, etc. I can't get over how in the modern era, all games I have played can't get the most basic things right that would make quality of life so much better.

The gravity is so strong because matter (the mass) has been squeezed into a tiny space.
