CALIFORNIA Governor Gavin Newsom denied a request for parole by Sirhan Sirhan, who has spent 53 years in prison for the shooting death of Senator Robert Kennedy. "We are greatly appreciative of the Governor's consideration of the facts and his faithful application of the law," some members of the Kennedy family said in a statement. Kerry Kennedy shared the family's press release on Twitter. "By reaffirming that freedom is dependent on responsibility, the Governor protects Californians and people around the world--and that is in the tradition, and faithful to the legacy, of Robert Kennedy," the statement reads. Newsom argued that Sirhan lacked "insight" from his crime that would prevent him from making "the same types of dangerous decisions" again. “Mr. Sirhan’s assassination of Senator Kennedy is among the most notorious crimes in American history,” Newsom said in a statement. “After decades in prison, he has failed to address the deficiencies that led him to … [Read more...] about Robert F Kennedy’s killer Sirhan Sirhan has parole blocked after review by Gavin Newsom and family are ‘deeply relieved’

Parents are always on the hunt for ways to make their little ones sleep better – whether it’s a white noise machine, a rocking cot or a clever bedtime hack . Particularly considering that research suggests 50% of children will encounter sleep problems. Good sleep is crucial for newborn babies, in particular, who experience a huge amount of growth in the first few months. In most cases, newborns will sleep for longer than they are awake, which can often be around 18 hours of snoozing a day. Babies don’t tend to develop a circadian rhythm until they are 3-4 months old – but when they do, it’s a good idea to establish a sleeping routine. As this will not only help the little ones, but gives parents more control over their time, too. To help parents along, the experts at Babysense have made an interactive calculator that creates a bespoke sleep routine for a baby or child (for those aged six months to four years). It’s likely to be a helpful tool for … [Read more...] about Online calculator reveals ‘the perfect sleep routine’ for your baby

Snake catcher Stuart McKenzie, from the Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers 24/7, arrived at the property after the owners contacted him as they had noticed the snake lurking in their garage and shedding its skin.

In a video taken by McKenzie, he tells the owner of the house: "Happy Australia day... what's more Australia than having a snake in your house?"

Once every few months we read headlines about an uptick in youth crime. Our elected officials express concern and urgency, they bicker with each other about which institution is responsible, and then the crisis fades from view without any meaningful reform. We have been talking about “reform” in the criminal justice world for over 20 years, yet we still see persistently high crime rates. We don’t need reform, we need significant economic investment in our families and young people. The institutions debating who’s to blame for the recent crime spree are all reactive: the DA, the police, the sheriff. These groups don't stop crimes before they occur; they react once a crime has already happened. Reforming these institutions, and throwing more money their way, will not fundamentally change the dynamics that lead to youth crime and violence. We need investment, and that means significant increases in funding from the federal level down.
