After the onePulse Foundation aimed too high and folded, the City of Orlando stepped in to get the process under wayThere were times when Patty Sheehan doubted a memorial to the victims would ever be built at the site of Orlando’s Pulse nightclub, where 49 people lost their lives in 2016 in what was then the country’s deadliest mass shooting.Among the lowest points for the long-serving city commissioner was when she discovered that a gift shop was included in an ambitious original proposal for a museum to remember the survivors and those killed when a lone gunman claiming allegiance to Islamic State terrorists attacked the gay club.

5 h. ago Don’t rush to rip out your nettles – here’s three ways to put them to good use

A patch of the stingers is a sure sign of nutrient-rich soil – plus they’re nutritious for you, your plants and insect-eating birdsNettles are rarely considered a welcome sight to gardeners. With their capacity for rampant growth – they spread by rhizome (underground) as well as seed – and the tiny hairs on their stems and leaves that sting any passing bare skin, they are usually uprooted from outside spaces where people are present. Nonetheless, this defensive plant is a common sight throughout the UK and worthy of more than our disdain, given that it boasts a wealth of beneficial properties and that its presence is a sure sign there’s plenty of nitrogen – an essential nutrient for plant growth – present in your garden’s soil.Stinging nettles (Urtica dioica) are wholly edible, although the most commonly eaten part is the leaf. Spring is the best time to forage and consume nettle leaves as the fresh growth is the most tender and delicious, as well as richly nutritious. Not to b...

7 h. ago ‘There’s a dangerous epidemic in boxing’: the tragic, cautionary tale of Paul Bamba

Paul Bamba was ambitious and loved by his friends and family. But his quest for success was built on dubious fights and a fatal disregard for his own healthAs 2023 drew to a close, Paul Bamba was a marginal club fighter with a record of five wins and three losses, compiled against mediocre opposition. Then his career changed in a very strange way. Bamba fought 14 times in 2024 and won all 14 of those fights by knockout. On 21 December 2024 he was credited with defeating Rogelio Medina Luna in a fight for the World Boxing Association ‘gold’ cruiserweight championship when Medina quit on his stool after the sixth round.Bamba was living his dream. But the dream appears to have been a fantasy built in significant measure on fixed fights. Continue reading...

21 h. ago Fear and Gibson eye worlds breakthrough as Chock and Bates chase ice dance history

Britain’s most noteworthy figure skating duo since Torvill and Dean are aiming to put sport back in spotlight of 1984More than four decades have come and gone since Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean enamoured the world with their epochal Boléro routine at the 1984 Winter Olympics, collecting a slew of perfect 6.0s from the judges and a permanent place in British sporting lore. Their names remain shorthand for excellence in figure skating – especially in the UK, where the sport has long since faded from the spotlight.This week in Boston, however, another British ice dance duo are quietly building on a legacy of their own. When Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson take the TD Garden ice for the rhythm dance on Friday afternoon, they will do so as genuine medal contenders. After finishing fourth at the last two world championships, the pair arrive in Massachusetts in form: winners of both their Grand Prix assignments, bronze medallists at the Grand Prix final, and holders of seven national tit...

22 h. ago Richard Wigglesworth: ‘I’ll be honest and think of nothing but the Lions’

Newly selected British & Irish Lions assistant on his journey as a coach, picking Steve Borthwick’s brain and Andy Farrell breaking the newsRichard Wigglesworth was in the garden with his five-year-old daughter, two days after England’s thumping win over Wales, when the phone rang. It was Andy Farrell and as much as Margot was not happy that her father was on the phone, it was a call he had to take. England’s storming finish to the Six Nations may not be the only reason Wigglesworth has been seconded to the British & Irish Lions but it can only have helped, and so the 41-year-old completes Farrell’s lineup, the first England coach to do so since Steve Borthwick in 2017.It is easy to forget that more than two years ago, Wigglesworth was still playing for Leicester Tigers. He was a player-coach when Borthwick got the call from England in December 2022 and as a result, Wigglesworth immediately hung up his boots and took interim charge at Welford Road.
