Louise and Michelle are joined by Dr Janey Lowes — a vet from the North East of England who, at 26, packed up her life and moved to Sri Lanka to help street dogs. What started as a year-long volunteering trip has become a decade-long mission, a team of 70, and Sri Lanka's only emergency hospital for street dogs. Janey shares the story of how WECare Worldwide grew from just her, a friend, and a tuk-tuk driver, to treating over 35,000 animals in the south of Sri Lanka. We talk about rabies, neutering programmes, rehoming, the economic crisis, and why putting dogs back on the street is often the kindest thing to do. And then there's the big one — The Dog Jog. Starting 12th October, Janey is running 600km from the top of Sri Lanka to the bottom, over 20–25 days, to raise over £1 million for a brand new hospital and vet nursing training centre. She's never run a half marathon. She's training in 37-degree heat and 94% humidity. And she is absolutely doing it anyway. Timings: 01:21 How a surf holiday in Sri Lanka changed everything — and why Janey never came home 03:48 The scale of the problem — 3 million street dogs, 1 for every 8 people 07:28 From 14 dogs in her house to Sri Lanka's only emergency hospital for street dogs 09:56 How WECare grew from 3 people and a tuk-tuk to a team of 70 13:47 Why street dogs don't always need a sofa — and why that took Janey a while to accept 20:50 The fundraising reality — nearly £1 million a year, and how they raise it 29:02 The Dog Jog — 600km, 25 days, starting 12th October 31:37 Training in 37°C heat, 94% humidity, and stopping every 100m to say hi to dogs 36:56 The mental challenge — and why having community support matters so much 44:59 Where to follow Janey and support the cause Find Janey: Instagram: @JaneyTheVet Website: wecareworldwide.org.uk Want to support the Dog Jog or get involved? Get in touch and we'll figure something out together, especially if you fancy joining virtually in October!

Michelle and Louise are joined by Lyndsy for an honest conversation about canicross, chronic illness and redefining what it means to be a runner. Lyndsy shares how she went from a love-hate relationship with running to finding a completely new sense of enjoyment through canicross with her Bernedoodle Indy. After years of feeling pressure around pace, personal bests and being at the back of the pack, running with Indy helped her discover a more supportive and joyful way to move. Their partnership has taken them from first-session nerves and downhill tumbles to weekly social runs and races. The episode also explores Lyndsy's experience of living with endometriosis, including the long road to diagnosis, the symptoms that were dismissed or mistaken for other conditions, and how chronic pain can affect exercise, confidence and everyday life. Lyndsy explains why movement can help, but also why listening to your body and adapting your plans matters. This is a powerful episode for anyone who has ever felt they are “not a runner”, anyone managing a chronic condition, or anyone who needs reminding that canicross is not just about speed, distance or results. Lyndsy forgot to mention in the episode that one thing that's been really important for her has been finding a Canicross belt that she's comfortable with. Obviously a lot of the pain caused by endometriosis is focused around the stomach and with the bloating and soreness that comes with it sometimes even the waistband of your clothes can be painful. So she would advise anyone with endometriosis to try a few different styles of belt to find one that works for them.

Welcome to The Turf Zone podcast. On this episode we preview presentations and activities for the procrastinators recertification seminar on June 11, 2026 in Maryland. Introductory comments are from 8:00 AM to 8:10 AM with moderator Dr. Carroll. From 8:10 AM to 9:00 AM will be a presentation titled “Thinking Outside the Chemical Box: Prospects for Alternative Approaches to Weed Management in Turf” by Dr. Daniel Buonaiuto, Assistant Professor, Department of Plant Science and Landscape Architecture, University of Maryland. For the past half century, the field of weed science has been focused on chemically managing noxious weeds and invasive plants. While this focus has led to useful advances in weed control, it has also given rise to herbicide resistant weed genotypes and increased incidences of negative environmental and health impacts. Scientists are calling for a new weed science research agenda focused on integrating chemical control with mechanical, cultural and biological management approaches, but new research agendas take time, and the weeds are growing right now. In this session we'll survey the tools and techniques that are available right now that can aid turf professionals in managing problematic weeds with fewer chemicals. We'll also discuss the potential for practitioner-research partnerships to rapidly advance our collective expertise in integrated weed management in turfgrass systems. From 9:00 AM to 9:50 AM will be a presentation titled “Improving Dollar Spot Control While Reducing Fungicide Inputs” by Mr. Uday Kumar, Doctoral Candidate, Department of Plant Science and Landscape Architecture. Dollar spot is the most common and costly disease on golf course fairways in the Mid-Atlantic region, and most courses rely heavily on calendar-based fungicide programs to keep it in check. This presentation covers two practical, research-backed approaches that can help superintendents get better control while reducing the number of sprays applied each season. Three years of field trials at the University of Maryland showed that timing fungicide applications using the Smith–Kerns dollar spot prediction model at the 20% threshold provided the same level of control as a standard 14-day calendar program while reducing applications by two to four sprays per season. In addition, nightly UVC irradiation delivered by an autonomous mower consistently suppressed dollar spot in lab, greenhouse, and field conditions. When UVC was combined with fungicides at 28-day intervals, turf quality remained acceptable while significantly reducing chemical inputs. Together, these tools offer a more precise and sustainable approach to dollar spot management on golf course fairways. Presentations will break from 9:50 AM to 10:00 AM then resume with a presentation titled “IPM Strategies for Ornamental Landscape Diseases” from 10:00 AM to 10:50 AM presented by Dr. David Clement, Plant Pathologist, University of Maryland Extension. Many landscape ornamental diseases require early diagnosis for effective management. Scouting is critical to finding symptoms early. This presentation will cover the common diseases in Maryland landscapes along with key diagnostic symptoms coupled with Integrated Pest Management strategies. From 10:50 AM to 11:40 AM Mr. Geoffrey Rinehart, Senior Lecturer, Institute of Applied Agriculture, University of Maryland will present “Fertilizer Product Selection and Nanotechnology Use in Fertilizer Programs” This presentation will provide information about what nanotechnology is and how it is being researched to improve the efficiency and efficacy of turf fertilizers and plant protectant products. In addition, this talk will encompass an overview of the major nitrogen fertilizer sources and their respective release characteristics. Timings for utilizing various major fertilizer sources for improved turfgrass health and effective nitrogen utilization will be discussed. From 11:40 AM to 12:30 PM Dr. Mark Carroll. Associate Professor, Department of Plant Science and Landscape Architecture, University of Maryland will present “Organic Lawn Care: Principles, Science and Landscape Architecture, University of Maryland” Synthetic fertilizers and pesticide treatments are often the primary chemical inputs in conventional lawn care; however, growing human health and environmental concerns have many homeowners seeking lawn care programs that are marketed as Natural or Organic. Natural and Organic programs emphasize the use of materials and practices that enrich soil organic matter and promote presence of organisms perceived to be beneficial to promoting plant health. This presentation will review the principles underlying an organic approach to turfgrass management and will provide an overview of the materials being used by lawn care operators in Maryland that offer organic or natural lawn care services. Difficulties in adhering to organic precepts when offering an organic or natural lawn care program will also be discussed. From 12:30 PM to 1:15 PM the presentations will break for lunch and resume with a presentation titled “Pesticide and Fertilizer Spray Calibration Field Demonstration” from 1:15 PM to 2:00 PM by Steve Holman, Paint Branch Turfgrass Facility Research Technician.

Chartdesigner und wikifolio-Trader Philipp Struck denkt stets in Szenarien und im Interview über seine Investmentstrategie und Markteinschätzung nach. Strucks wikifolio, das Global Wealth Concentrated ( https://go.brn-ag.de/515 ), verzeichnet eine beeindruckende Performance von 550 %. Struck erklärt seine Zurückhaltung beim Aktienkauf: "Ich habe mich auf Cash- und Short-Positionen konzentriert." Er betont die Wichtigkeit des richtigen Timings beim Kauf und Verkauf von Positionen und reflektiert über die mentale Belastung durch Marktverluste. Strucks langfristige Strategie zielt darauf ab, attraktive Investitionsmöglichkeiten zu nutzen, sobald der Markt stabiler wird. Aktien hält er derzeit nicht im Depot, einige aber befinden sich auf der Watchlist: "Vom Grundsatz her bin ich affin, was Technologie und Wachstum betrifft." Auf die Kaufseite möchte sich Struck aber vorerst nicht begeben. Krypto und Erneuerbare Energien könnten aber eine Chance erhalten.

Two former senior detectives examine the Zodiac Killer's most disturbing escalation: the Lake Berryessa attack.In broad daylight, the Zodiac abandons the gun, dons a costume, and turns murder into performance. We unpack what this shift reveals about planning, psychology, investigative blind spots in 1969, and why—despite unprecedented evidence—the killer still walked away.We also explore cryptography, Air Force links, witness behaviour, and the uncomfortable reality that the Zodiac wounded more victims than he killed.What we cover (chapter guide)00:00 — Cold open: Episode context; why Lake Berryessa marks a turning point01:10 — The silence before the storm: August 1969 and the lull after the cipher05:30 — Setting the scene: Pacific Union College, Bryan Hartnell, Cecelia Shepard10:15 — Lake Berryessa: daylight, isolation, and opportunity14:40 — Witnesses before the attack: watching, waiting, selecting18:10 — The costume appears: hood, symbol, and psychological theatre22:30 — Control and deception: the escaped-convict story and premeditation26:50 — Knife vs. gun: why this choice matters more than it seems32:20 — The attack: sequence, survival, and what Hartnell could tell police38:10 — Aftermath: the car door message and the call to Napa Sheriff's Office42:45 — Evidence rarely seen in Zodiac cases: shoe prints, palm print, handwriting47:30 — The Air Force connection: wing-walker boots and cryptography skills53:10 — What 1969 police didn't have: DNA, databases, behavioural profiling59:40 — Performance vs. panic: what the shaking hands reveal1:04:30 — Victim focus: remembering Cecelia Shepard1:09:20 — Why this case still matters: escalation, audience, and unfinished justice(Timings may vary slightly by platform.)Key takeaways“This wasn't impulsive.” The costume, bindings, and knife show planning and rehearsal.“Daylight changes everything.” Witness quality improves—but so does offender confidence.“The Zodiac wasn't trained to kill.” He wounded more victims than he killed, even at close range.“Evidence isn't the same as answers.” Lake Berryessa produced more physical clues than any prior attack—yet still no suspect.“This was theatre.” The Zodiac needed to be seen, remembered, and talked about.Helpful contextThe Lake Berryessa attack (27 September 1969) is the only confirmed Zodiac assault with surviving victims and a full eyewitness account.It is also the only Zodiac crime involving a costume and a knife, making it critical for behavioural analysis.Listener noteThis episode contains discussion of violent assault and homicide.
