Michelle Obama Shames Donald Trump: Why Is 'Someone' OK With Kids Eating Crap
Uh oh! Michelle Obama had a bone to pick at an annual health conference on May 12, blasting Donald Trump without mentioning him by name. Criticizing his school lunch decision, Michelle asked why 'someone' was fine with kids eating crap!
Michelle Obama, 53, kept it real while speaking at an annual health conference in Washington, D.C., on May 12. The former First Lady revealed that she was livid over the Trump administration decision to delay federal rules aimed at making school lunch healthier. Without directly calling out President Donald Trump, 70, by name at the event, she made a very passionate plea to parents across the nation. "Moms, think about this," she began, questioning the motives behind this controversial choice. "I don't care what state you live in, take me out of the equation, like me, don't like me, but think about why someone is OK with your kids eating crap." Hint, hint!
"You have to stop and think, 'Why don't you want our kids to have good food at school? What is wrong with you and why is that a partisan issue?" Michelle continued. "Why would that be political?" She explained that without healthier lunches available for the millions of kids who eat federally subsidized meals at school, they will end up eating convenient, and likely less nutritious food. "Because here's the secret: If somebody is doing that, they don't care about your kid and we need to demand everyone to care deeply about our kids," Michelle concluded.
Michelle wasn't afraid to publicly call out Trump's administration, shortly after Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue said the department will delay an upcoming requirement to reduce the amount of sodium in school meals. Additionally, he also noted that he will keep issuing waivers that require more whole grains to be served at schools. This motion goes against what Michelle worked so hard towards during her eight years as first lady — more beneficial options for kids!
Michelle was even more upset considering her "Let's Move" program, which aims at tackling the problem of childhood obesity. She concluded, "How about we stop asking kids how they feel about their food? Kids, my kids included, if they could eat pizza and french fries every day with ice cream on top and a soda, they would think they were happy, until they got sick."
HollywoodLifers, do you agree with Michelle Obama on this topic? Tell us!

Branding Peru
Peruvian specialty coffee cupping scores are improving
By Bethany Haye
Peru is something of a latecomer to the global coffee scene. Before 2012, it was barely on the radar as a notable exporter, having left the International Coffee Organization (ICO) in 1992 amid bad macroeconomic policies that led to disinvestment in agriculture and political violence in rural areas.
In 2015, the mountainous country re-joined ICO and by 2016, it had made a major comeback, accounting for a still-modest 3% of world exports. Coffee is now the country's largest agricultural export, and though it only numbers 8 or 9 in overall production worldwide (depending on your source), it is third in exports of arabica, with increasing visibility as a supplier of unique specialty coffees.
Peru continues recovering from the rust infestation of 2014 that affected nearly half of the country's coffee plantations," according to a May 2018 report by the US Department of Agriculture.
"Coffee production in marketing year [MY] 2018/19 [April/March] is forecast at 4.3 million bags [60-kilograms per bag], increasing 5% compared to the previous year. Peru's exports of coffee in MY 2018/19 are forecast at 4.1 million bags, up five percent compared to the previous year," according to USDA.
The bad news, though, is that low prices remained constant in 2018, making the overall value of the increased, exports lower than that of 2017.
With 17 coffee-growing regions and 28 microclimates, Peru has ideal natural conditions for cultivating excellent and varied specialty coffees and they are consistently ranked among the best in the world.
Branding Peru
Peruvian coffee family. Eighty-five percent of coffee growers own properties of between 0.5 and 5 hectares
Award-winning Coffee
"Our coffee always takes the first five places in international contests. The gourmet coffees score 85 and the espresso stands at 84," according to Lorenzo Castillo, chairman of the National Coffee Board.
The sector's greatest asset is the Andes mountain range, which stretches north-to-south across the entire mainland. Ninety-eight percent of the coffee farms are located in the mountain range, with three-quarters of the crop grown at elevations between 3,900 feet and 6,500 feet. Most production occurs from April to August when temperatures are ideal for growing at that elevation. Though the majority of production occurs during these months, the different elevations and microclimates in the Andes allow coffee to be harvested year-round.
Today, the Peruvian coffee trade is experiencing a two-pronged boom, with on the one hand, increased consumption in Europe and the United States, where high-quality coffees are gaining appreciation and price benefits that go with it, and on the other, the massification of markets throughout Asia.
The increasing demand of Peruvian coffee in the world markets helps more than 225,000 families that rely on this crop and more than two million Peruvians who are part of the coffee value chain.
But, like its neighbor Colombia, Peru still suffers the scars of guerilla warfare and drug violence which disrupted farming and displaced growers for decades. The Shining Path Communist guerilla faction was active from 1970 to 2000.
Once that group was essentially disabled, things began to return to normal, but with lingering after effects, including widespread poverty and lack of infrastructure and education in the coffee-growing regions.
In October the Peruvian Ministry of Agriculture published an ambitious and comprehensive 22-year National Coffee Action Plan 2018-2030 (PNACP) with five main goals to address both the lingering plagues of poverty, lack of infrastructure and lack of access to financing in the coffee regions, and ongoing but more recently alarming trends like deforestation and lack of brand recognition in the world market and low domestic consumption.
The dilemma of expanded coffee production and exports versus the deforestation and leeching it can cause, echo that in other countries, but Peru's territory also covers much of the Amazon basin, making this a particularly serious problem for the world at large. This has put sustainability on top of the priority list, and PNACP deals extensively with this, incorporating input from NGO's such as UTZ-Rainforest Alliance and Amazon Watch.
Branding Peru
Chamber of Coffee and Cacao
The Peruvian Chamber of Coffee and Cacao was founded in October 1991, and has since brought together the main private companies in the sector (producers, exporters, and industrialists) in a mission to promote Peruvian coffee both domestically and in the international market. Although exports are growing, a mere three countries – the US, Germany, and Belgium – account for 62% of all Peruvian exports.
Coffee farmers themselves are also uniting to protect the Amazon by adopting new techniques and developing hardier strains of coffee with the cooperation and input of NGO's. These include the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) and the Council for Smallholder Agricultural Finance among others.
Coffee is one of the main products replacing illegal crops such as coca and eases the inclusion of thousands of farmers into a formal and legal economy. With resources and governmental attention finally flowing into the Peruvian coffee sector, it is a good bet that the country's excellent brew will finally get the recognition and financial reward it deserves.
Branding Peru
Exports of third-party certified coffees are the rise
National Coffee Action Plan
Strategic Objectives
1 Increase productivity through sustainable production systems
2 Improve degree and consistency of coffee quality with agronomy education for farmers and tree replacement programs
3 Promote access to better quality financial services by strengthening public-private partnerships
4 Improve positioning and commercialization of Peruvian coffee in domestic and world markets by developing brand image and promotional campaigns
5 Improve social, environmental and economic conditions in coffee growing areas and the quality of life of coffee-growing families with on-site medical, nutrition and education programs.

News - 02.04.2020
News - 10.04.2019
For Salone Del Mobile 2019 BassamFellows' presents their classic designs reimagined in in materials and finishes alongside their latest collection of work, reflecting inspiration from prosaic, elemental and naturally occurring materials. The resulting pieces are an expression of how thoughtful manipulation of stone, wood, metal and leather can create something erudite and powerful.
The Elemental collection is about purity of shape and form, with nothing superfluous added. For the Milan presentation BassamFellows has created a tranquil exhibition space within rough concrete gallery walls. Raw-effect oak wood screens and panels painted in a deep, dark Prussian Blue first formulated in the 18th century in Berlin, separate and highlight the different materials into distinct zones.
"For some time, we have been fascinated by the history of stonemasonry in Italy, specifically in the region around Val Camonica, one of the largest valleys in the central Alps," Said Scott Bassam. "For over 100 years this has been home to Moncini, the stonemasons that we collaborated with on a range of new benches and tables, rooted in traditions that go back generations, but executed in a totally contemporary way. The valley where Moncini are based is also the area with the largest collection of petroglyphs in the world. The simplicity of line of these prehistoric markings on stone intrigued us – they decorate the material's surface with such a light, but also permanent, touch."
A keen eye might notice the simplicity of one particularly powerful graphic informed this latest collection.
The cruciform, commonly known as the cross. One of the most basic, natural and harmonious visual arrangements in the canon of design. Its roots are, of course, in theology and folklore. It is elementary, strong and visually
pleasing. When transformed into something three-dimensional, it can be uniquely elegant, retaining a lean mass, but offering something more expansive than just a simple line. When presented as a group, three dimensional cruciform are both rudimentary and analogue, but also erudite, like the most striking minimalist sculpture. The cross is the simplest sign, but also perhaps the ultimate – a motif stripped down to all that is essential.
The Cross Table Series - The simplicity of the cruciform shape lends itself perfectly to the key structural element of a table – in engineering terms, it is almost impossible to better the dynamic. These designs are about stripping things back to basics, paring down things visually to what is fundamental.
The Plaza Collection - a paradigm of "elemental." Each piece of this new collection of tables and benches, produced in association with Moncini in Italy, each piece is created using the same concept – single pieces of marble carved and shaped to create an elegant modular element A single element is used for occasional tables and plinths, a half element is used as a single leg for benches and tables.
New Materials - Several new materials make their first appearance within the new collection for 2019. The classic Daybed and Tractor Stool in Black Oiled Walnut. The Circular Series Tables and Geometric Side Chair are shown in Raw Effect Oak. As well as these two new woods, we also present a new metal finish – a richly coloured oxidised gunmetal.
As always, "craftsman modern" was the overriding philosophy for all of BassamFellows' work. These pieces may appear simple, but they are the result of painstaking study and evaluation. Every effort was made to preserve the inherent beauty of the materials we used. In some cases, the shapes look more ancient than timeless, as if they may have been excavated from Val Camonica. At the same time, they are wholly contemporary. See the new collection at EXITS Gallery Via Varese 14 Milan 20121 April 9-12.

For its second-annual Tech+Connect event, taking place Nov. 5-7 at the Scott Resort & Spa in Scottsdale, Ariz., The Alliance Partners will once again host an exclusive group of channel partners and a roster of top providers in emerging technology segments, for three days of unique channel sales empowerment for next-generation solutions.
The show is devoted to bringing together experienced channel sales professionals with providers of advanced technology solutions in a dynamic and intimate setting, for sales training around the hottest emerging technology segments. It is a forum for unexpected ideas, unconventional speakers and uncommon learning, with the goal of providing deep provider-partner engagement, unparalleled empowerment and extraordinary business impact.
As an 'Un-Event', Tech+Connect leaves behind packed expo hall aisles and the countless (and useless) me-too pitches from providers. Rather than brag about feature sets, providers at Tech+Connect are charged with discussing specifically how to sell their services, providing next-generation tools, tips and real-world techniques for channel partners that can be taken home and applied immediately to grow emerging tech practices.
After a stunningly successful inaugural event last November, Tech+Connect this year will provide an even smarter and more intuitive experience. Highlights for the 2018 program include:
- More time for optimal partner/provider interaction
- Effective and engaging content, delivered in a true "how to sell" format
- Partner involvement in the program delivery
- Staggered sessions to provide collaboration and relationship-building time
- Facilitated learning in a relaxed environment
"Tech+Connect is dramatically different than any other channel event out there," said Alliance CEO Bill Power. "We are redefining how providers and partners interact with each other, giving partners best-in-class next-gen tools for sales empowerment that can't be found anywhere else, and offering leading providers of emerging, innovative services an opportunity to align with the country's top sales professionals—all within a non-traditional structure that's designed to provide results."

Oprah on for two more years?
Oprah Winfrey, who has reined as the queen of talk since 1986, apparently
isn't ready to give up her crown.
Sources said Winfrey is "on the verge" of signing a contract with the seven
ABC-owned stations to renew The Oprah Winfrey Show for two more years,
keeping her on at least through the 2007-08 season.
Should that happen, the landscape of syndication will shift dramatically,
leaving Paramount's Dr. Phil as Oprah's heir apparent for at least two
more years and keeping him out of key news lead-in slots.
As part of the deal, Phil is still expected to be forbidden to compete
directly with Oprah.
The move also means other syndicators can cool their heels with regard to
developing Oprah replacement talent.
Buena Vista Television's Wayne Brady will likely stay at 10 a.m. on the ABC-owned
stations, instead of having the opportunity to move into the coveted 4 p.m.
slot, which charges more for license fees and advertising.
Oprah is a huge revenue-driver for King World Productions, with sources estimating
that the show brings in $300 million annually for the syndicator, including
license fees and barter revenue.

VK Powell's Next (Really) Big Thing
Intro: I tagged my buddy, VK Powell to answer The Next Big Thing questions because I beta read her upcoming "Exit Wounds" and I'm very excited about it. I think it's the best yet of her great romantic intrigue stories. Vic doesn't maintain a blog of her own, but we Southerners love to entertain company so I am honored to have her as a guest here on my blog.
What is the working title of your book? I've just finished manuscript #6, "Exit Wounds," and I'm really excited about it. Not only does it start off with a bit of a twist early on, but also it's number SIX for me. I can't believe that I get to do what I love all the time. Just lucky I guess.
Where did the idea come from for the book? The story idea came from an actual event that took place in Greensboro, NC several years ago when I was still a patrol officer. Two cousins fell in love and killed their families for a rather large inheritance. In the end, they blew themselves up in an SUV while being pursued by the police. However, the only kernel of the story that survived for my manuscript is an explosion. That's how story ideas are born, raised, and ultimately delivered onto the page…or not.
What genre does your book fall under? Romantic intrigue. I love romance, but I also like the action parts of life – "stuff" we do that keeps us from doing what we should be doing—and my police background provides lots of fodder for adventures and intrigue. My brand is strong, professional women trying to have it all—the girl, the job, and happiness—and having to overcome obstacles to make it happen.
Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition? Loane Landry would be played by a younger version of Annie Lennox, spiked platinum hair, attitude, and all! I think Olivia Wilde would make a very good Abby Mancuso—yum.
What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?
When Officer Loane Landry falls in love with Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms informant Abigail Mancuso, she realizes that nothing is as it seems—not the case, not her lover, not even the dead.
What is the longer synopsis of your book? Officer Loane Landry gives up professionally and emotionally when gunrunners kill her lover in an explosion. She blames herself and vows to seek answers and revenge…in or outside the law. Good guys never win, and bad guys never pay. But when the woman she loved returns very much alive and in desperate need of help, Loane must decide if she can endure the pain and memories of deceit in order to keep them both alive.
ATF confidential informant Abigail Mancuso is charged with gathering information on a gunrunning syndicate camouflaged as a gentlemen's entertainment business. Before arrests are made, something goes terribly wrong and Abby is forced into a deep cover assignment for which she is unprepared. The only person she trusts is the woman she lied to about everything. How can she put Loane's life at risk by asking for her help?
Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency? All of my books are published by Bold Strokes Books. (Release date is August 2013)
Who or What inspired you to write this book? As I mentioned earlier, the event that took place in Greensboro has spun around in my head for years just waiting for an opportunity to "bust loose." The actual inspiration to get on with it came from friends who wanted one of my books set in Greensboro. So, I tip my hat to them and hope readers enjoy a bit of the unique setting that is our revitalized downtown.
How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript?Unlike my usual 4-6 month turnaround, this manuscript took a full year. I got off track for a while with some personal issues but was still able to retain a spot on the 2013 schedule. Thank you, my wonderful publisher!
What else about your book might pique the reader's interest? This book has an interesting twist in the early stages that will probably surprise readers. One of the main characters is killed early on…sort of. This creates a greater challenge in the development of the love story, which was also a bit different to write. I hope my intent to present a little variety pleases my readers. If not, I'm sure they'll let me know.
The Next Big Thing Blog Hop
Out on the Panhandle author, R.E. Bradshaw, tagged me as part of the "The Next Big Thing Blog Hop." The blog hop project is designed to introduce readers to writers and their work. I will be answering questions about one of my books and the author I tag will answer about her work in progress (or published work) next Wednesday.
What is the working title of your book?
I'm in the middle of writing "Hold Me Forever," the third in my Southern secrets-themed romances, but my next book to be released is "Every Second Counts" in February. It goes to the printer this month, so that's the book I'll talk about.
Where did the idea come from for the book?
After my second novel, "Long Shot," was released, I received several emails from readers who felt sorry for the character who didn't get the girl. They liked the zen artist, Bridgette LeRoy. One email advised "some strong butch needs show up and rock Bridgette's world." It just happens that I'd previously written in a yahoo role-playing group the very character who could rock Bridgette's world. Rider was a cocky horse whisperer who loved lots of women. But that yahoo group was set in a fantasy world, so I had to convert Rider into a real person and Marc Ryder was born in my imagination.
The characters from my first two novels, "Bareback" and "Long Shot," are secondary characters in this story, but this is the last time I intend to return to Cherokee Falls, Va.
What genre does your book fall under?
Romance. I'll always write romance novels because I'm a hopeless romantic and that's what I love to read. My trademark is that I write lesbian romances in equestrian settings. Sometimes the horses play a small role in the story. Other times they are a major part of the plot.
Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?
Marc Ryder has the body of Demi Moore in GI Jane, but the cute factor of Demi with short hair.
Bridgette LeRoy is an Amy Irving look alike from her "Honeysuckle Rose"-"Yentl" days.
What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?
Every second counts in Bridgette LeRoy's desperate mission to protect her heart by stopping Marc Ryder's suicidal return to riding rodeo bulls.
What is the longer synopsis of your book?
After a twelve-year absence, Ryder returns home to Cherokee Falls to recover from being gored by a bull and to settle her grandmother's estate. Artist Bridgette LeRoy has been named to head a committee tasked with organizing an art auction to raise money to save the art department – and her own job – at the local college. Their attraction burns red hot when Ryder poses nude for an art class Bridgette teaches, but their respective pasts clash to pose an obstacle bigger than a two thousand-pound rodeo bull.
Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency?
All of my books, as well as this one and the one I'm currently writing, are published by Bold Strokes Books.
Who or What inspired you to write this book?
Marc Ryder (formerly Marci Ridenhour) made her debut in an "Authors Challenge" I did a couple of Christmases ago for another yahoo group, firstname.lastname@example.com. It was written in first person and told the story of the cocky Ryder seducing a sexy FAA official who strip-searches her at the Dallas-Fort Worth airport. That idea came from my day job as a newspaper editor. Everybody was making a big fuss that Christmas about the new airport body-scanners revealing a little too much and, in keeping with the juvenile atmosphere of most newsrooms, my co-workers and I started listing who we wouldn't mind being scanned by. Jessica Capshaw (Arizona on Grey's Anatomy) topped my list.
The Author's Challenge was meant to be a one time short story, but I enjoyed the character so much, I decided that I wanted to know the rest of her story. I use the first-person AC as a prologue to the novel, which isn't written in first person.
How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript?
Four months writing. I have to work my writing time around the full-time job that pays my mortgage. But that doesn't count the month it usually takes me to develop the story, outline it (I'm not a pantser), and submit it for a contract that puts it on the BSB publishing schedule and the calendar of my awesome editor, Shelley Thrasher. Then we allow ourselves about six months for editing and winding its way through the production schedule of proof-reading (different set of editors), formatting, printing and distributing. That may seem like a long delay from "the end" to publication, but it lets both Shelley and me to step away from the story for weeks at a time and go back to it with fresh eyes. We each go through it three or four times, which gives me lots of opportunity to fine-tune chapters. I do as much editing as Shelley does during this period, I think. I highly recommend that process. One pass through an 70,000 word document is not enough for proper editing. While that editing process is going on, I'm usually also writing my next project.
What else about your book might pique the reader's interest?
I've never shied away from sex scenes – where appropriate – in my romance novels, but "Every Second Counts" is definitely the most erotic (not kinky) novel I've written. I believe a good romance requires that the participants lay themselves bare to each other both physically and emotionally. My two characters are very visual, physical people and their first impulse is to converse using their bodies. In "Every Second Counts," they must also learn to speak with their hearts.

September 1st-Saito and Kikuchi fight for Japanese honours, Bellamy, Abe, Kondo and Kaji in action!
Tokyo, Japan
This coming Saturday sees a new month begin, and it kicks off in stylee with a strong card from the Korakuen Hall.
The main event of card will see the Japanese Bantamweight title finally have a champion crowned, after having been vacated in January by Ryo Akaho and having seen several bouts to crown a new champion fall through. The void at the top of domestic scene will be filled by either Yuta Saito (10-9-3, 7) or Eita Kikuchi (21-5-4, 8) who will both see this as a massive opportunity to claim a national title. Saito was supposed to face Suguru Muranaka for the title earlier in the year before Muranaka pulled out due to making weight. Kikuchi on the other will be getting his first title bout since losing to Shingo Wake in an OPBF title fight way back in 2013. The winner of this will likely enter 2019 with a target on their back, but will have claimed the biggest win of their career.
The leading support bout will see former Japanese and OPBF champion Charles Bellamy (27-3-2, 18) taking on Yuto Shimizu (12-3-2, 5) in a bout between Japanese ranked fighters. The hard hitting Bellamy has struggled for activity in recent years but is devastating at this level and will know, at the age of 36, that he really only has more run left in his body. A win over Shimizu will not assure Bellamy of a title shot, but will move him much closer to one. As for Shimizu this will only be his third fight since the start of 2016, and his first of note since losing to Yuki Nonaka more than 2 years ago. At 30 years old Shimizu has got youth on his side but would need a career best performance to pick up a win here.
In another notable supporting bout we'll see the very talented Reiya Abe (17-2, 8) battle against Masashi Noguchi (12-10-1, 6). Originally the plan had been for Abe to fight in a Japanese Featherweight title eliminator but with no suitable opponents being able and free he's fighting a bit of a stay busy bout whilst awaiting for a title fight, likely in 2019. Abe is currently riding a 9 fight winning streak, which saw him avenge one of his defeats and over-come the likes of Tsuyoshi Tameda and Satoshi Hosono. Noguchi is a former Japanese title challenger, but comes into this bout on the back of 5 straight losses. Noguchi has no momentum coming into this and has been hand selected to keep Abe busy, but won't be expected to offer much competition.
Arguably the biggest single name on this card is recent world title contender Akihiro Kondo (30-7-1, 17), who will be looking to tick over with a stay busy fight of his own. The teak tough Kondo will be up against domestic journeyman Tatsuya Miyazaki (9-11-1, 9) in what should be Kondo's second victory since losing in 2017 to Sergey Lipinets in an IBF title fight. Miyazaki has been stopped in 8 of his 11 losses and we suspect to see another loss here for the 34 year old. Miyazaki has got power, but given the toughness of Kondo we don't think that will matter too much in this bout.
On paper one of the more even match ups will see the in form Ryohei Takahashi (15-3-1, 6) take on Shingo Kusano (11-6-1, 4), who is one of the two men to hold a win over the aforementioned Reiya Abe. Takahashi has rebuilt well since suffering an August 2017 defeat, and was last seen scoring an upset win in Thailand against Mike Tawatchai for a regional IBF title. Kusano on the other hand has been stopped in his last 2 bouts and is without a win since February 2016, when he defeated a Thai novice. It's hard to see past a Takahashi victory here, but he should get some good rounds in against a usually durable foe.
One other fighter of note on this show is Hayate Kaji (10-0, 8), who will be taking on a Thai foe. The talented Kaji has looked fantastic at times, but a disappointing performance last December against Jun Blazo has left some serious questions for him to answer. If Kaji can commit himself to the sport his potential is huge, but her really does just need to make sure he can focus on his training and what he needs to do in the ring. We're not expecting him to be tested here, but we are hoping to see an impressive performance from the Japanese youngster.
Pathum Thani, Thailand
In Thailand fight fans will be able to see veteran Sirimongkol Singwancha (95-4, 60) continue his journey to being a centurion as he take on Muhammad Nsubuga (0-6-1) in a bout for the vacant Thai Light Heavyweight title. The 41 year old Sirimongkol, who had world title reigns at Bantamweight and Super Featherweight more than a decade ago, is long past his prime but clear still has hunger and that shows by the fact he'll be fighting at 175lb for the first time in his career. Ugandan born Thai based Nsuubuga has been stopped in 6 of his 7 bouts and we suspect he'll be stopped again here as Sirimongkol marks his 100th professional bout!
California, USA
The biggest show this coming Saturday is in California where we get a world title double header, and interestingly both of those world title fights have a link to Asian boxing with both bouts having an Asian born fighter, and one of the non-Asian's being promoted by Teiken promotions.
One of those bouts will see unbeaten Thai hopeful Teerachai Kratingdaenggym (38-0, 28) take on exciting Argentinian Lucas Martin Matthysse (38-4-0-1, 35) for the WBA Welterweight title. For Matthysse the bout is a huge opportunity to become relevant again at the world stage, more than 2 years removed from his loss to Viktor Postol back in October 2015. Matthysse has been a very popular fighter with an aggressive style and heavy hands, but it's hard to really know what he has left in the tank. The Thai is stepping up massively, but given the huge wins by Srisaket Sor Rungvisai last year he'll feel he too can make a name for himself with a big win in the US. Teerachai has been in more than 30 title fights on the regional scene and whilst he hasn't beaten many fighters of note he has beaten fighters like Vladimir Baez, Larry Siwu and Kaizer Mabuza, who have all posed different questions for the Thai.
The other bout will see Teiken promoted Venezuelan Jorge Linares (43-3, 27) battle Filipino Mercito Gesta (31-1-2, 17), in Linares's latest WBA Lightweight title defense. The talented "El Niño de Oro" has been in great form recently, and is unbeaten in more than 5 years whilst picking up wins against the likes of Nihito Arakawa, Kevin Mitchell, Anthony Crolla and Luke Campbell, but questions over his durability will remain with the 3 surprise stoppage losses linger over his head. For Gesta this is a second shot at a world title, following a bizarre performance against the then IBF champion Vazquez back in 2010, which saw Gesta spending a lot of time looking at the big screen rather than actually fighting. Since the loss to Vazquez we've sene Gesta go 5-0-1 (3) but the reality is that few are giving him a chance here against someone with the skills and experience of Linares. Neither man can really afford a loss, but it's hard to imagine Gesta havign what's needed to give Linares his 4th professional defeat.
Another Filipino on this card is the heavy handed Romero Duno (15-1, 13), who takes on Mexican based Yardley Armenta Cruz (22-9-0-1, 12). The Filipino is an explosive puncher and someone everyone should make an effort to watch. Given that the Mexican has been stopped 6 times already we're expecting another stoppage loss here.
Florida, USA
On a second American show fans will be able to see unbeaten Uzbek hopeful Botirali Mamajonov (5-0, 3) seek a 6th straight win. The Uzbek is looking likely to be in another 4 rounder here, and will hopefully begin fighting in longer bouts later in 2018.
Nevada, USA
Another US show will feature a couple of Asian fighters.
One of these is Japanese Southpaw Gaku Takahashi (15-7-1, 7), who will be up against Cameron Krael (12-12-3, 3). The Japanese fighter has had mixed success in recent fights, but did score a career best victory in 2016, when he stopped Kim Poulsen, and will be looking to get a win here, and rebuild following a less to Jamontay Clark last time out.
American based Uzbek Sanjarbek Rakhmanov (9-0-1, 4) will be on the card seeking his 6th straight win, and looking to continue his rise towards a notable bout. Sadly at the time of writing his opponent for this show hasn't yet been announced.
Shenzhen, China
Back in Asia we will have a card in China, though at the time of writing the only a couple of bouts from the show are known about.
The more notable of the two bouts will see former 2-weight world champion Sirimongkol Singwancha (92-4, 57) continue his long career, as he looks to move one win closer to becoming the latest boxing centurion. The 40year old Thai will be up against China's Fei Hu Wang (5-1, 3), who is less than half the age of Sirimongkol at just 19! The Thai has slowed significantly in recent times, and has lost 2 of his last 3, but will feel like he has a chance here. As for Wang he was beaten last January by a debuting Aleksei Podkolzin, but has since scored back to back wins and will have youth and size, around 7" in height, over the veteran.
The other bout will see 18 year old Qiang Jiang (1-0, 1) take on Ukrainian Oleksii Kostenko (0-1). The Chinese youngster made his debut in July, with a stoppage of another debutant, whilst Kostenko, who debuted in June, was stopped by a Chinese debutant. Hard to know too much about these two, but a bout between them should be decent enough given that both are real novices.
Baja California, Mexico
In Mexico we'll see Filipino veteran Drian Francisco (29-4-1, 22) take on rising Mexican hopeful Edivaldo Ortega (25-1-1, 12). The once touted Francisco is now 35 and is almost certainly coming to the end of his career, which began way back in 2005. A win here would keep him relevant as a fighter, but he'll be the under-dog against Ortega, who is quickly climbing the ranks towards a potential world title fight.
Pocheon, South Korea
It's also worth noting that there is a small, low key card courtesy of BoxingM. The card features a total of 8 bouts, and will include a 14 debuts, showing the level of this card. For those wondering all of the bouts will be 4 rounders.
Tokyo, Japan
At the Korakuen we get a genuinely important card, as Japanese and Chinese fighters face off in the second Japan Vs China Dangan card.
The main event of the show will see former Japanese Super Featherweight champion Rikki Naito (17-2, 6) take on unbeaten Chinese visitor Baishanbo Nasiyiwula (12-0-1, 5), in a really good looking bout. For Naito it's his second as a 140lb'der, and his 6th since losing the Japanese Super Featherweight title to Kenichi Ogawa. Although Naito's has been troubled recently he will feel confident of picking up a win over the Chinese fighter. For Nasiyiwula the bout will be his first outside of China and his second successive bout against a Chinese foe, having won adecision back in May against Taisho Ozawa. A win for the visitor will open up doors for more significant fights and could well see him in the mix for an OPBF title sooner rather than later.
A second good looking bout on here will see the once beaten Takeshi Kaneko (5-1-1) look to bounce back from a June loss as he takes on Wulan Tuolehazi (5-3, 1). The Chinese visitor has a mixed record, but has won his last 3, including a win over former world title challenger Nouldi Manakane. Although this bout will be expected to go the contacted 8 rounds it should still be a lot of fun and a very exciting contest.
Negros Occidental, Philippines
We get another notable card in the Philippines, with two bouts of note.
The biggest in terms of names will see former world champion Merlito Sabillo (26-4-1, 13) battle against well regarded journeyman Crison Omayao (22-14-4, 7), who has share the ring with the likes of Naoya Inoue and Kosei Tanaka. Since losing the WBO Minimumweight title to Francisco Rodriguez Jr back in 2014 life has been hard in the ring for Sabillo, who has gone 3-3 and cannot really afford any more set backs. Whilst Omayao has also had mixed results recently he certainly has time on his side, and the 24 year old really isn't at the end of the line, despite the fact he is racking up losses now a days.
The other bout of note on this card will see the unbeaten Jayr Raquinel (7-0-1, 5) take on Richard Rosales (12-4-2, 7) for the OPBF interim Flyweight title, despite the fact the "regular" title was defended just a week ago. The bout should be a good one, given the men involved and their desire for a win, but one does wonder what the OPBF are playing at with the logic that this was going to be an interim title fight, so soon after the last defense of the actual title.
Singapore, Singapore
The deepest of the Asian shows is from Singapore, where Ringstar Management Pte Ltd will be hosting a notable show with a host of title bouts, and notable names,
In one of the supporting bouts on this card we'll see talented Filipino hopeful Michael Dasmarinas (26-2, 17) take on Thai journeyman Phupha Por Nobnom (11-10-1, 10). This should be a total mismatch in favour of the criminally under-rated Filipino, who has won his last 8 and looks ready to be stepped up massively after this contest.
A slightly more competitive looking supporting bout will see Thailand's Decha Kokietgym (34-11-3, 18) take on Australian veteran Chad Bennett (36-4-3, 27). The 32 year old Thai hasn't fought since June 2013, and is certainly not the fighter her once was, though Bennett is no spring chicken and had his 44th birthday a few months ago. It's also worth noting that Bennett himself has been out of the ring for over 2 years. This bout may not excite fans, but there is some intrigue on paper.
A much more relevant bout will see Malaysian hopeful Keng Fai Hui (3-0, 3) compete in his first title bout, as he battles Petch Fonchang Chonburi (7-3, 2) for the IBO Oceania Welterweight title. On paper this looks like a mismatch but it's a step up for the unbeaten 22 year old, who has been in with really limited opposition for. The Thai is nothing special, but should prove a better opponent that Hui's previous 3.
In a competitive looking bout we'll see Muhammad Meeraj (6-2, 3) battle against Chase Haley (5-1, 2), in a second contest between the two men. These two fought back in May, with Haley winning a majority decision in a bout that saw both men being dropping, and it's clear that Meeraj will be out for revenge whilst Haley will be chasing a second win over the Malaysian hopeful. On the line in this bout will be the International Boxing Organization Oceania Light Heavyweight Title, which Haley won last time out.
The biggest name on the card will be 2-weight former world champion Sirimongkol Singwancha (92-3, 57), who continues his long career as he takes on Australian fighter Tommy Browne (34-6-2, 13). The 40 year old Thai has lost just once in his last 53 and will be hoping to edge towards 100 wins here, as he takes on a 34 year old Australian, who is 8-0-1 in his last 9. The bout will see the two fighters trading blows for the International Boxing Organization Asia Pacific Super Welterweight Title and there is a good chance the winner will try and move on towards a more notable title bout in 2018.
The main event of the show will see Singapore's very own Muhamad Ridhwan (8-0, 7) face off with Namibia's Nataneal Sebastian (9-0, 5) in a battle of unbeaten's. The two men will be trading blows for the International Boxing Organization International Super Featherweight Title and will be looking to extend their unbeaten records. Ridhwan struggled on his debut but has stopped his last 7, taking small but progressive steps up whilst Sebastian will be fighting in a notable step up, and his first bout outside of Namibia.
Buenos Aires, Argentina
In Argentina fight fan will be able to see unbeaten Kazakh hopeful Bobirzhan Mominov (4-0, 4) take on Argentinian based Uruguayan fighter Carlos Andres Chaparro (7-15-1, 3). The heavy handed Kazakh has needed just 11 rounds for his first 4 wins and will be looking to keep his stoppage run alive here, but may find that tricky against a durable but limited foe.
Singapore, Singapore
The biggest card of the day, for Asian boxing at least, will be in Singapore where there will be a host of UBO title fights. There's too much going on on this card for us to cover everything, but we've spotted 3 bouts which have intrigued is.
At Super Featherweight we'll see the unbeaten Singaporean local Muhamad Ridhwan (7-0, 6) battle against Fadhili Majiha (20-8-4, 9) in what is a credible step up for Ridhwan. The 29 year old, dubbed "The Chosen Wan", has impressed so far and has stopped his last 6 foes but this is a very tough step up against a 23 year old Tanzanian who has gone the distance with fighters like Immanuel Naidjala, Pungluang Sor Singyu and Marlon Tapales.
Up at 154lbs we'll see Thai veteran Sirimongkol Singwancha (91-3, 57) face off with Indonesian Larry Siwu (24-8, 20). The Thai, looking for his 92nd win, is now 39 years old and fighting well above his best weight, but is still a talented fighter and he is a handful at regional level, and should be favoured here. Saying that however he could get old over-night. Aged 34 Siwu is no spring chicken and he has lost 3 of his last 5, but could be a tough ask for the Thai if he's on song.
In an interesting non-Asian bout we'll see Canadian Ryan Ford (11-0, 7) battle against New Zealander Robert Berridge (29-6-1, 21). Although this bout has no direct connection with Asia we do enjoy Ford's run recent run through Asia, and this will be his 4th bout in the region in just over a year. This UBO Light Heavyweight bout is a good test for Ford, and it will be fun to see how he gets on with someone like Berridge.
Bacum, Sonora
In Mexico fans will see popular veteran warrior Orlando Salido (43-13-4-1, 30) battle against Thai puncher Pharanpetch Tor Buamas (18-2, 14). Not too long ago we saw Salido have an up-and-down war with Terdsak Kokietgym, and since then he has had 3 really tough wars, but even with those wars he should be favoured here against the Thai, who has lost 2 of his last 3.
Ansan, South Korea
There will also be title action in Sout Korea where fans get two title fights.
One of those will see Gyu Won Lee (4-2-1, 2) battle against the unbeaten Heuk San Lee (2-0-1, 1) for the vacant South Korean Light Middleweight title. Gyu is a former Korean Middleweight champion, but he was beaten last time out and is certainly not something special. Heuk, also known as Abdoulaye Assan, is a Cameroon born fighter who looked great last time out but is a small Light Middleweight.
The other bout is a much less attractive contest as the out of form Da Won Seo (3-6-1, 1) takes on the equally faltering Gwang Shik Na (2-7, 1) for a Korean Super Flyweight title. Of the two men Seo has the slightly better record but has shared the ring with Fahlan Sakkreerin Jr, and lasted the distance with the Thai. Na on the other hand has just 1 win in his last 5 and has only ever beaten a couple of debutants.
Ohio, USA
Although Ohio,of all places, may seem strange for the most significant bout with an an Asian interest that's exactly what will happen this coming Saturday as Kazakh Zhanat Zhakiyanov (26-1, 18) challenges WBA "Super" and IBO Bantamweight champion Rau'shee Warren (14-1-0-1, 4). For the heavy handed Zhakiyanov this is a huge step up in class, and amazingly his US debut as he adds yet another stamp to his passport. The Kazakh has fought through much of the world, but is still a relative unknown in America, where few of his fights have been televised. Warren, a former 3-time US Olympian, is the most talented fighter that Zhakiyanov will have faced and will be seeking his first defense of the title. On paper this is puncher vs skillster and it could turn out to be a very intriguing contest.
Singapore, Singapore
Another show of Asian interest takes place in Singapore, where we see several notable fighters in action.
When it comes to fast rising prospects few are rising quite as quickly as 24 year old Uzbek Middleweight Azizbek Abdugofurov (4-0, 4), who looks to over-come a former 2-weight world champion in just his 5th professional bout. Not only is Abdogofurov taking on a former world champion, but a highly experienced one as he battles 39 year old Thai Sirimongkol Singwancha (91-2, 57), in what will be a defense of the WBC Asian Boxing Council Middleweight title by the Uzbek. The Thai veteran, who has claimed world titles at Bantamweight and Super Featherweight, is well past his best but will be hoping to make the most of his experience here.
Another promising Uzbek on this card is the unbeaten Qudratillo Abduqaxorov (9-0, 6), who looks for win #10 as he takes on the more-than-credible Ukrainian Viktor Plotnykov (34-4, 16). Although Abduqaxorov isn't quite as touted as his countryman he's in relatively tough here and Plotnykov is an upset minded fighter who can be a banana skin, as we saw when he beat the once touted Denton Vassell in the UK. Although Plotnykov can be a banana skin he has lost 2 of his last 4 and, at 39, is well beyond his best. If Abduqaxorov wins, as expected, he will return in a few weeks time to face Charles Manyuchi for the WBC Silver Welterweight title, he will however have to make sure not to over-look the Ukrainian here.
In an all Filipino bout we'll see the in form Jeson Umbal (12-5, 8) seek a 5th straight win as he takes on the struggling Roman Canto (12-8-3, 7). Coming in to this Umbal has scored notable wins over Luis Bedolla Orozco and Mark Anthony Geraldo and he will know if he keeps this run going he could find himself fighting for titles in the near future. As for Canto things have been tough recently, and he has fallen from 8-0 (3) to 12-8-3 with real struggles over the last 4 years or so. A win for Canto would boost his career massively here, but this will be a very tough one for the "Hitman".
We get more action from Thailand this coming Tuesday as fans get the chance to see a real veteran in action.
That veteran is former 2-weight world champion Sirimongkol Singwancha (87-2, 55) who is set to fight for the Asian Boxing Federation Middleweight title. Sadly we're unsure who he will be fighting however we do know that he will be fighting on a Channel 11 broadcast between 15:30 and 17:30 local time.
Sadly we're also unsure who else will be on this card, which will obviously feature at least 1 other televised bout.
August 18th-Srisaket in a stay busy, Sirimongkol in action and Jirapan defending his Youth title!
Thai promoter Nakornloung give us their latest show this coming Tuesday and show case a number of notable fighters.
Arguable the most notable of the fighters in action is the world class Super Flyweight Srisaket Sor Rungvisai (35-4-1, 32) who fights a stay busy fight with Indonesian visit Domi Nenkeba (12-15-1, 8). This bout is, clearly, a mismatch but the aim of the contest is to give Srisaket a tune up before a potential show down with Carlos Cuadras later in the year. It's hard to see anything but a stoppage win for the Thai though know what's on the line for him he will need to make sure not to get cut or suffer any sort of injury here.
In a title bout fans will see Jirapan Nakornluang (13-0, 10) defending his WBC Youth Silver Featherweight title against the much smaller Junior Bajawa (14-6, 7), from Indonesia. It's hard to see anything but a win here for the talented Jirapan who looks like he could be the next star of the Nakornloung stable.
The third bout of note on this card will see former 2-weight world champion Sirimongkol Singwancha (84-2, 54) take on a limited visiting foe. The Thai was supposed to have had a fight with Demetrius Andrade but it fell apart and instead of sitting on the side the Thai will instead fight here as he begins a relationship with Nakornloung Promotions. Sadly we've not been sent the name of Sirimongkol's foe for this bout.
For fans interested in watching this show, it will be screened on Thai Channel 3 between 14:00-16:00 local time.
Tuesday's don't usually give us a host of action but this week we are lucky devils with shows across 3 separate countries.
Hua Hin, Thailand
The Thai boxingscene is known by some international fans for it's farcical match making which can see a world champion stay busy fights against debutants. Whilst the fight fans in the west might not understand "why" those bouts are fought they understand that they are. Thankfully those farcical bouts tend to be just bouts with the winner progressing their career with win. This week however we have one such bout being fought for a title in a contest that may well go down as one of the weakest "title" bouts we've seen.
That title bout will see Pakorn Mor Poonwa (4-2-1, 4) battle against unbeaten Chinese novice Zhang Yong Ming (3-0) for the WBC Youth Light Welterweight title. To date Ming has never fought beyond 6 rounds whilst Pakorn has won just 1 of his last 4 bouts. We understand that "Youth" title fights do come at a low level however this is a very weak bout for the Youth belt, especially at 140lbs.
Note- we have been told that Pakorn may be facing a different Chinese opponent for this bout, though all sources state it will be a Chinese opponent for the Thai.
Another bout on this card will featured a former 2-weight champion who is continue to stack up wins and extend one of the longest winning streaks in the sport. That former champion is the 37 year old Sirimongkol Singwancha (82-2, 53). Sirimongkol is a former champion at 118 and 130lbs and has won his last 39 bouts dating back to May 2004. Whilst he's in great we can't really see Sirimongkol getting an opportunity to become a 3-weight world champion given that he's already 37 years old. For those wondering about Sirimongkol's foe, we're unsure on his name.
One other bout on this card will see WBC Youth 154lb champion Petchsuriya Singwancha (12-9, 6) in a non-title contest. Petchsuriya will be fighting for the first time since he was stopped, in Japan, by Koki Tyson Maebara and we suspect that this bout will be little more than a stay busy contest for the Thai who is expected to defend his title in March as he returns back to Japan. Sadly Petchsuriya will be fighting the very poor Mohamadreza Hamze (4-5-1, 1) who has twice been beaten by Sirimongkol.
Tokyo, Japan
It's fair to say that 2015 has had a slow start to the year in Japan and we mean slow. It's amazingly taken until January 27th for us to get the second Japanese show of the year. Sadly it's not a main one, in fact it's unlikely to have anyone that "fans" have heard of, though it does promise to be an entertaining show.
The show at hand at Dangan 119, a card with an impressive 13 bouts on it, all of which are 4 rounders.
Whilst many of the bouts are simply 4 round contests between novices there are several "C Class Tournament Bouts". Included in those tournament bouts is a brilliant main event between Pon Ponta (3-0, 3) and Rice Hayashi (2-0, 2).
South Korea
In South Korea we see a national tournament kick off with 15 bouts taking place. Sadly we're unsure of who will be on the card, and we suspect boxrec.com will also over-look the card as they don't seem willing to accept the KBF as a sanctioning body.

October 15th-Amagasa defends belt, Sanpei faces Maligro, Tomomi Takano is back!
Just 2 days we get a Japanese title fight at 130lbs we get an OPBF title bout down at 126lbs as the pace gets going towards an excellent last half of the month.
Tokyo, Japan
Often domestic shows are poor and fail to get the attention of fans at large. This coming Wednesday however we get a great show courtesy of Kyoei who are putting on a packed domestic card with several bouts of note ranging from an OPBF title fight at the top of the card to a female comeback bout as one fighter looks to get her career back on track after a major setback.
The aforementioned OPBF title bout will see OPBF Featherweight champion Hisashi Amagasa (27-4-2, 18) returning to the ring for his 3rd defense of the title. Amagasa, a very fun to watch and rangy fighter, will be backed strongly to over-come challenger Ryo Takenaka (11-2-1, 6) who has yet to prove himself anywhere near this sort of level. We like Amagasa though it's clear he's a clear level below the true world class guys, despite that here is several levels above Takenaka.
The chief support bout looks to be a stunning match up which looks incredibly equal on paper. This will see Kazuma Sanpei (11-0, 4) battle against Japanese based Filipino Johnreil Maligro (11-0, 8). On paper Maligro has the edge in terms of though in all honesty there is little to split these two who aren't just unbeaten fighters but are also both southpaws and both are very young and very promising. A fantastic fight on paper and a second successive good test for both men who similarly matched tough last time out as well.
The female bout will see the once beaten Tomomi Takano (5-1, 4) fighting against a Thai foe as she attempts to put a stoppage loss to Kai Johnson behind her. Takano, who is better known for her looks and various attire weigh in attire than her boxing skills, knows that she needs a win here to remain relevant and we suspect her Thai opponent won't be up to much.
Another bout on this card will see former Japanese interim Super Bantamweight champion Mikihito Seto (34-11-3, 18) battle against novice Kenta Toi (3-4). Seto has won just 1 of his last 4 bouts and really needs a win, he should get it against Toi though it's far from a sure thing given Seto's current form.
One of the other bouts on the show will see former OPBF and Japanese title challenger Toyoto Shiraishi (24-8-1, 11) battle against the fun to watch but limited and light hitting Mako Matsuyama (7-8-1, 3), a man best known for all-action war with Rex Tso. Matsuyama is a warrior and is tougher than his record indicates however Shiraishi will have to be favoured here.
The final bout of note here will see Kazuaki Moriya (11-5, 1) battle against Ryo Narizuka (6-4) in a really important bout for both men. Moriya has lost his last 2 bouts and desperately needs a win here whilst Narizuka is 3-3 in his last 6 and may see his career vanishing if he cannot score a win here. It's a low level bout but a significant one all the same.
Bangkok, Thailand
The most significant bout of the day comes from Thailand where former 2-weight world champion Sirimongkol Singwancha (80-2, 52) battles against Filipino slugger Dan Nazareno Jr (20-11, 16) in a genuinely interesting looking bout for the vacant WBO Asia Pacific Light Middleweight title. Singwancha, who is unbeaten in 11 years and 37 fights, is now 37 and it's been almost 17 years since his only stoppage loss. If Nazareno has trainer properly there is every chance he could stop Singwancha, who was only stopped by Joichiro Tatsuyoshi in a thriller. Nazareno however does seem to have problems with consistency and if he's not on form he'll suffer another decision loss as he did to Chalermpol Singwancha back in April.
Talking about Chalermpol Singwancha (10-0, 8) it's worth noting that he's also in action as he takes on a French visitor that we believe is called Kevin Solimani, though we can't find his record on boxrec so he may be a debutant or a fighter from another combat sport.
third bout on this card is second a rematch between Pakorn Mor Poowana (3-1-1, 3) and Jen Yu Jia (1-8-2). The two men fought to a 6 round draw back in September following an opening round win for the Thai back in December 2012. It's assumed that if the Thai comes out unscathed he will be fighting Adones Cabaquinto in the Philippines in November.
This Thai card will be aired on Channel 11.

Pathum Thani, Thailand
Thai fans get televised action on back-to-back days this week as Channel 11 televise action on Tuesday.
The headline bout here will see the experienced former 2-weight world champion Sirimongkol Singwancha (79-2, 51) battle against Tanzania's Omari Ramadan (11-6-1, 7). The bout, being fought for the WBO Asia Pacific Welterweight title, will see Sirimongkol attempting to claim another belt in his long and stories career and try to extend his current winning streak to an 11 year run. Although many of the Thai's recent fights have been against poor opponents it's still incredible that the 37 year old former Bantamweight champion keeps going and his 36 fight winning streak is amongst the longest in world boxing.
Other action on this card will include the next fight of the promising Chalermpol Singwancha (8-0, 6), who has impressed us so far with his aggressive match making, including a win over former OPBF title challenger Dan Nazareno Jr. There will also be a bout featuring the unbeaten and heavy handed Pankorn Mor Poowana (3-0, 3) who we hope will be stepping up.

Time is running out to take advantage of the standard entry price for this year's Kilomathon Scotland with that rate closing on Monday (2 March) at 5pm. The event features three unique distances and will be held in Edinburgh on Sunday 29 March.
Organisers GSi Events say: "Kilomathon is a distinctly different race distance. The route is picturesque and traffic free along Edinburgh's scenic cycle routes with an awesome finish at BT Murrayfield Stadium. It's the perfect early season chip-timed training event. Last year's race sold out, so make sure you get your entry in early to guarantee your place. There's plenty of time to put some hard work in and achieve your goals. So go on, set yourself a target and go for it!"
The event takes place in Edinburgh and is run on the beautiful Edinburgh cycle path network. Participants take in the historic Royal Yacht Britannia, picturesque Victoria Park and enjoy tranquil cycle paths before a fantastic finish in front of the West Stand at BT Murrayfield Stadium. There are three Kilomathon distances to choose from - the 13.1k is an excellent distance for those looking to step-up from a 10k and training for a half/full marathon, or looking for a bridging gap between a 10k & half marathon. The 6.55k makes an ideal step up from a 5k, or as a stepping stone to the 10k distance. The 2.62k junior race is a fun race for kids and takes place in BT Murrayfield Stadium, the home of Scottish Rugby.
For more information and to enter, visit the Kilomathon website.

Book Blogger Hop!
New twist to the hop!
The question I'm supposed to answer is my name and why I started blogging. Here goes!
I'm Amelia, and this is Imagination in Focus, a blog dedicated to reading/reviewing and interacting with other book bloggers. The title comes from a quote by Mark Twain. I started blogging because I wanted to have a place to store all my book reviews and interact with other reading enthusiasts. :)
If you're a new follower from the Hop, thank you for stopping by, and I hope you'll come again! Leave the link to your site so I can check it out.
And now for some shameless promoting - check out my newest post on Books to Swap!

P.S.- My release date if Friday the 13th (August this year) isn't that crazy?
