I did have a mental debate as to whether I should write about today's topic. After listening to both sides for several days I've decided we're all adults and can deal with grown up things.
Ever given a thought to what happens when someone who is living/ traveling /vacationing overseas dies away from home? It's one of those things that lurks darkly at the back of our minds which we push away and promise ourselves we'll think about it another time.
Having friends who have just been through the ordeal of flying the body of their son home it's something at the forefront of our minds. We had little idea of what was involved – dealing with insurance companies, undertakers in two countries (home and abroad), the legalities of a foreign country and people who go home at five o'clock. Even with the help of a consulate it can be gruelling navigating through the red tape.
When something like this happens we become acutely aware through news media or other people of how many other families are dealing with this situation, of bringing a loved one home.
Schiphol is the only airport in the world with a mortuary and around 1450 bodies a year pass through on their way to their final resting place.
The facility is in the capable hands of Theo de Haardt, care manager of the mortuary, situated next to a runway within the sprawling airport complex. The department is accessible 24 hours a day and the deceased are cared for with respect and dignity, irrespective of who they are or where they're from.
They arrive in de Haardt's autopsy room for preparation for the flight home where he works alongside rabbis, imams or family members, depending on religious or cultural requirements. The body is embalmed ensuring the deceased arrives at the funeral destination in the best condition possible.
Everything is possible? That's an expression not uttered often in the Netherlands.
Yet where de Haardt works so respectfully and diligently, thinking only of those placed in his safekeeping for transit home, is not really the Netherlands or any other country for that matter.
It's that ethereal place removed from the world which goes on regardless and unseeing – those days following death when the clocks stand still, the earth wobbles on it's axis and life for the families involved stops. Theo seems to have an intuitive understanding of what is important at these times of raw grief – for the deceased and their families.
I'm deeply touched by the humanity of this man. I'm warmed and comforted that should the very worst happen, here in the Netherlands we have one of the best facilities in the world to deal with it, led by a man who sees what he does as more than a job.

Wow how interesting to know.
And it is not a bad thing to talk to family about. Relations who regularly go to Australia have made it quite clear that they favor cremation there, should the worst happen, which will make decision making easier for the family.
This is such a tough subject which none of us like to think about. Even if you chose cremation, I'm sure every family would like the body of a loved one 'home' first. How else to have a meaningful funeral and say goodbye? A memorial service is not really the same. I was so pleased to read this article and know that somewhere the sanctity of life, and the leaving of it, is acknowledged and given such respect.
Thank you ma'am – sadly there seem to be an awful lot of hard subjects out there. I believe bringing them out of dark corners and into the sunlight make them less overwhelming and frightening. Works for me!
As someone who has personal experience of the sudden traumatic loss of my beloved Dad on a beach in Bahrain twelve years ago, I know what a difference a caring response from those in 'authority' would have made to me. Instead tragedy was compounded by further trauma. Well done Holland again! Another reason to have stayed BUT? Passed on to equally wet and cold Brittany. Well done for celebrating what the Dutch do so well. Julia cameron author of The Writers Way says God = Good Orderly Direction which is always a blessing for those in the storm of grief and I am sure the comfort you are bringing to your beloved's at this tragic time.
So very sorry you and your family had to deal with this traumatic situation so far from the comforting familiarity of home. Loved your definition of God – exactly how I feel. Comfort in the order of things.
I personally agree but for many people religion or culture dictate what 'should' happen to the deceased's body.
In the case of my friends their son will be cremated, but for them to fly to a foreign country, have him cremated there without family friends around them and then bring his ashes home wasn't a practical option.
On a lighter note, I've found it traumatic enough having our dog cremated here – her ashes are still sat in an urn on the kitchen window sill ready to go 'home'. We want her ashes spread in the warmth of the country she was born and raised in. Too sentimental for words I know, but there you go!

The Dumaguete Presidencia or City Hall was officially declared an "important cultural property" (ICP) by the National Museum of the Philippines (NMP).
NMP's Cultural Properties Regulation Division Deputy Chief Raquel Flores said this property, under the law of the National Museum, passed as exemplary aesthetics, engineering, architecture, and history and social impacts.
Dumaguete City Mayor Felipe Antonio Remollo expected that this would be the start of community consciousness to preserve old structures that are historical monuments that will be a legacy for the future generations.
In the next three months, the National Museum can start putting in national treasures which are now deposited at the NMP.
Remollo said the original Presidencia will be transformed into a repository of the important artifacts of Dumaguete that date back as far as 500 BC, with most of them unearthed in Bacong, Negros Oriental.
It qualifies as an ICP on account of it is designed by Juan M. Arellano, one of the country's greatest architects, and possesses "exceptional cultural, artistic and/or historical significance" to the Philippines as defined by the Cultural Properties Preservation and Protection Act, the National Museum Act of 1998, and the National Cultural Heritage Act of 2009.
The declaration of the Dumaguete Presidencia or City Hall, built in 1936, as an ICP entitles it to be granted government funding for its restoration, protection, and conservation by the National Museum.
Remollo welcomes the declaration as this will enhance the city's reputation as a heritage destination.
The mayor expects that the Dumaguete Presidencia will become another tourist destination for heritage lovers and provide the next generation a better appreciation of the city's rich culture and heritage.
The Dumaguete Presidencia is the fourth to be declared as an ICP in Negros Oriental after Silliman University, Sisters of Saint Paul of Chartres, and Bacong Church.
The building is currently undergoing restoration works with a budget of P49 million and will be converted into a branch of the NMP that will house artifacts and historical pieces of the city, province, and Central Visayas.
The National Museum (NM) is one of the lead government cultural agencies tasked to achieve the goals of instilling cultural consciousness and a sense of pride and nationalism among Filipino citizens through its activities covering the sciences, education, and culture.
To ensure the preservation and protection of cultural properties in the Philippines, NM is mandated to declare significant cultural properties as National Cultural Treasure or ICP.
The Province of Negros Oriental marks its observance of National Arts Month with a forum on tourism, music workshops for students, and workshop on heritage mapping.
Provincial Culture and Arts Officer Rafael Duhaylungsod disclosed the provincial government through the Negros Oriental Center for Culture and the Arts (NOCCA) and the Provincial Tourism Unit (PTU) has lined-up activities for the entire month of February to promote this annual monthly observance noting that this is the first time the province is celebrating Arts Month.
The local Arts Month celebration kicked-off with a Forum on Culture on Tourism held on Feb. 8 at Foundation University with Department of Tourism (DOT) Asec. Myra Paz Abubakar as guest speaker.
In her speech, Asec. Abubakar presented the major provisions of R.A. 9593 particularly the provisions which encourage and strengthen the culture of tourism in the country.
The DOT official underscored that it is important to highlight in all aspects the history, culture and arts of the people in order to promote a vibrant and authentic culture on tourism.
"Share and teach each visitors the story of our ancestors and our identity. This is very important kasi kung hindi natin alam ang istorya ng ating mga ninuno, darating po ang araw na wala tayong maikukwento tungkol sa ating mga nakaraan (If we don't pass on the story of our ancestors, there will come a time that we could no longer share stories of our past)," Asec. Abubakar stressed.
"IPs (Indigenous People) should always be in the forefront. Cooperation with government instrumentalities and the private sector should be strengthened," she added.
Asec. Abukakar addressed students and some tourism officers and key personalities in the province who attended the forum namely Provincial Administrator Henry Sojor, economist and former Finance Secretary Gary Teves, and Silliman University Vice-President for Academic Affairs Dr. Earl Jude Cleope.
National Museum of the Philippines – Bohol Information Officer Emmylou Palacio-Noel also participated the event.
On the other hand, the NOCCA and PTU, in partnership with the Department of Education (DepEd) schools division of Dumaguete City, Bayawan City, and the province of Negros Oriental will hold a series of music workshops for students starting Feb. 11 to Feb. 16.
"We moved to the grassroots. Our participants are really students and not the professional singers and performers," Duhaylungsod said.
Another round of music workshop is also slated on March 4 to 9 covering the school divisions of Bais City, Tanjay City, and Guihulngan City.
Aside from this, there will be a Call for Budget and Project Proposal Workshop on Heritage Mapping in cooperation with the National Commission for the Culture and Arts (NCCA) to be held in this city on Feb. 28.
All tourism officers, cultural officers and the chairpersons of the tourism committee of every Sanggunian Bayan or Sanggunian Panglungsod in the province are expected to participate in the said workshop.
Duhaylungsod also noted that universities and colleges in the city are also celebrating National Arts Month.
The official cited Foundation University who will be hosting the 11th Cinema Rehiyon or the annual gathering of over a hundred filmmakers across the country.
With this, Duhaylungsod expressed his gratitude to the agencies who have partnered with NOCCA and the Provincial Government of Negros Oriental in this endeavor.
"This may be a simple occasion but this will provide impact and also a lot of information to our students and our community," Duhaylungsod remarked.

Biden Team Begins to Undo DeVos Policies on Campus Sex Assault | #Education | #parenting | #parenting | #kids
The Biden administration is taking the first steps this week to unravel former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos's controversial policies that critics say had a chilling effect on victims of sexual assault on college campuses.
The department, now led by Secretary Miguel Cardona, also plans to rewrite Trump administration rules that limited loan relief to student borrowers and weakened accountability measures for vocational programs that performed poorly.
Cardona on Monday will kick off a week of hearings on Title IX campus sexual misconduct policies, followed by additional public forums later this month on student loan programs. Revisiting and changing those rules is likely to take years to complete.
New Title IX regulations will also be harder for a future administration to overturn, unlike Obama-era guidance that DeVos scrapped with the stroke of a pen.
Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona participates in a ceremonial swearing-in with his wife, Marissa Perez, and Vice President Kamala Harris in Washington March 2, 2021.
College groups and advocates for survivors of assault have called for the Education Department to overturn the Title IX regulations DeVos put in place last year. Those rules narrowed the scope of sexual misconduct complaints that colleges and schools must investigate. President Joe Biden in a March executive order directed the agency to review the regulations, after pledging during his campaign to jettison the DeVos rule.
Biden's nomination last month of Catherine Lhamon, the Education Department's assistant secretary for civil rights from 2013 to 2017, for that same role also reflects a commitment to restoring the Obama administration's approach to campus sexual misconduct that prodded colleges to investigate allegations more aggressively.
Biden Picks Obama Official for Top Education Civil Rights Job
"This is an important opportunity for the department to set the record straight and to get more information on how students have been impacted not only the DeVos rule by Covid as well," said Shiwali Patel, an attorney at the National Women's Law Center and former civil rights official at the Education Department.
Shiwali's group opposed the DeVos rule and has backed an overhaul by the Biden administration.
Higher Bar for Complaints
DeVos's regulations sought to bolster protections for students accused of sexual harassment or assault on campus. She cited a spike in lawsuits filed by punished students to justify scrapping President Barack Obama's policies, which aimed to pressure colleges and K-12 schools into dealing more actively with sexual misconduct on campus.
The DeVos Title IX rule allows schools to opt for a higher standard of evidence to assess sexual misconduct claims. It also requires that colleges offer accused students the right to a live hearing on campus where accusers could be cross-examined by an alleged assailant through a third party.
DeVos's Legacy Snags Biden's Rewrite of College Male-Bias Rules
Advocates say those regulations, which took effect in August, will discourage survivors of assault from coming forward. Colleges, meanwhile, warned that imposing hearing requirements would mandate that institutions set up a quasi-court system on campuses that they are ill-equipped to manage.
The DeVos regulations "represent just a massive reordering of the entire Title IX compliance landscape for college and universities," said Anne Meehan, assistant vice president for government relations at the American Council on Education, the chief lobby group for colleges in Washington.
DeVos made the rules final three years after she announced she was charting a new course on Title IX policies. The Education Department had to consider massive public feedback, receiving more than 120,000 comments on proposed regulations.
A similar protracted process could unfold under the Biden administration. That means that colleges will be obligated to follow DeVos regulations for much of the current administration's term—although the Education Department indicated when it announced the hearings that new guidance on Title IX may be forthcoming.
Texas Appeals to Help Defend Trump Title IX Sex Harassment Rule
The rulemaking plans are an improvement over the approach of the Obama administration, which issued Title IX policies through nonbinding guidance without seeking formal public comment, said Joe Cohn, legislative and policy director at the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, a civil liberties group that has backed more protections for accused students.
However, he said the Education Department would ideally allow more time to judge the effectiveness of the new regulations after the Covid-19 pandemic that led colleges and K-12 schools to close campuses last year.
"It's premature to know whether or not these hearings are a formality and largely public theater to pave the way for policy changes they plan on making, regardless of what is said," Cohn said.

The Devikulam hills find their mention in our ancient epic Ramayana. Goddess Sita, the beloved wife of Lord Ram had stayed in these hills. The Devikulam hills in Kerala are located 1,000 meters above mean sea level. Rural Kerala is full of natural scenic beauty. Devikulam has abundance of all this and more. It has the natural greenery, beautiful and captivating flowers and a sparkling lake in the middle of the hills. These features make it one of the most loved hill stations in Kerala.
Devikulam, a small but very scenic hill resort of Kerala, is located at a distance of about 15 km from more famous Munnar, another exotic hill station in the region. Located amidst the lush green hills with spice and tea gardens, which appear like a velvet lawns and lovely small lakes, Devikulam offers an enchanting and momentous tour to its visitors. The pristine and cool mountain air loaded with the fragrance of cardamom and pepper refreshes your body and nerves.
Located just 149 kilometers from Cochin, Devikulam is another South Indian holiday destination and one of the most visited Kerala Hill Stations. It has hardly been explored and is a tourist's delight. The magic of Kerala truly comes alive in this holiday destination and a concoction of water body along with hills is a magical sight.
Spice plantations are inherent to Kerala and the strong mist of spices in the air mixed with fragrance of nature makes a sweet scent that fills one with energy. Tea bushes are all over and are neatly clipped. The rows of tea bushes are entwined with fruit and gum trees. There is a visual contrast from tall to short and visa- versa.
The Devikulam Lake is another attraction and a major part of Kerala tour. While pilgrims can take a dip in this silver sparkling water, nature lovers can simply observe and enjoy the visual delight the lake offers. If adventure is your forte then the hills can be made useful for mountaineering, trekking or simply climbing. The natural Devikulam Hills has it all.
The Chinnar Wildlife Sanctuary is another place not to be missed. This is one of the famous wild life sanctuaries in Kerala and has all varieties of wild animals. Hundreds of insects and a large variety of birds also have their habitat in this natural sanctuary. With all these diverse attractions the Devikulam Hills is one of the best recommended places for anyone on India Tour. This is also an ideal place for watching herds of gaur and elephants amble past. As one travels from Karimuthi to Chinnar, elephants, spotted deer, Sambar, hanuman langur and even peacocks can be spotted on either side of the road.
Devikulam is a mere 41/2 hours drive from Cochin and a 4 hours drive from Kottayam.

Malicious Jet2 insider jailed for launching cyber attack against his own firm
Scott Burns, a former employee of a company that offered ICT services to low-cost airline company Jet2, has been jailed to ten months in prison for carrying out cyber attacks against the airline that prevented at least 2,000 employees from logging into their network accounts and accessing their emails.
Burns was sentenced by the Leeds Crown Court to ten months in prison on Wednesday after he admitted to gaining unauthorised access to a domain owned by Dart Group, the owner of Jet2, and removing a critical folder that contained all user account details.
As a result of his actions, at least 2,000 employees at Jet2 were unable to log in to the company's network or access their emails for more than twelve hours. According to BBC, Burn's malicious conduct resulted in Jet2 suffering losses of up to £165,000.
Burns committed the crime in January 2018 even though he was no longer an employee of ICT provider Blue Chip that offered various services to Jet2. According to NCA, Burns attempted to cover his tracks by deleting a programme used by Jet2 that stored detailed logs relating to events and changes on the network.
Burns also hacked into the email account of the CEO of Jet2 to monitor their emails
"Forensic analysis of his computers, along with information provided by Dart Group's Infrastructure Team, showed that Burns was also responsible for another network intrusion against Jet2 on 3 January – which is believed to have been a scoping exercise, assessing the security of their systems in preparation for his later attack," the NCA said.
"On a number of occasions – once on the 3rd January, during his preparation – and then several times after the attack, Burns also hacked the email inbox of Jet2's CEO. During interview, Burns admitted that he had illegally accessed the CEO's inbox "once or twice" to see if anything was being said about the incident – or to see if the company had any evidence of his involvement in the attacks.

"Chat records found on his phone show Burns saying he is "finally sick and tired of BC/Jet2" and he describes leaving Blue Chip as "freeeedom". On the same phone, he had looked up the prison sentence for network intrusion in the UK on Google," it added.
Burns was arrested by NCA investigators from his residence in Morley, Leeds in February 2018 and subsequently pleaded guilty to eight offences under the Computer Misuse Act in November this year.
Organisations must implement privileged access protocols to prevent unauthorised activities
NCA officer Jamie Horncastle said that not only did Burn's actions have a potential financial impact on Jet2, it caused huge disruption to their staff and technical operations. Evidence secured by Dart Group proved valuable during the investigation and helped law enforcement authorities in zeroing in on Burns.
The fact that an ex-employee at a third-party service provider could gain access to an internal folder owned by Jet2 indicates that not implementing privileged access management can allow malicious insiders to carry out unauthorised actions without getting detected.
In 2017, supermarket chain Morrisons was directed by the High Court in Leeds to pay compensation to 5,518 current and former employees after a former employee leaked personal and financial information of nearly 10,000 Morrisons staff on the web.
The verdict was arrived at after the existing and former employees told the Court that Morrisons was squarely responsible for breaches of privacy, confidence and data protection laws, as well as for exposing them to identity theft.


Free night in a designer cabin anyone?
Anyone with children can get a night in the architecturally inspired Tubakuba cabin, with its stunning location on a mountainside overlooking Bergen, absolutely free.
The tiny cabin is entered through a "tuba tube", a short tunnel that leads into a room with stunning views, a wood burning stove, a couple of places to bed down, and not much else.
Measuring just 14 square meters with no electricity, no water and no toilet, the Tubakuba is truly a no frills hide away. Designed to give children a sense of appreciation for nature, the cabin is built almost entirely of wood, with a burnt larch exterior and plywood interiors.
Students at Bergen School of Architecture created the cabin that during a design-build workshop led by Espen Folgerø from OPA Form architects, and then decided to lease it out, one night at a time, for free.
The cabin is easily accessible by tram from the city centre and bookings are made through the Bergen municipality website.

The GDS Enterprise Level Dynamic Triaxial Testing System (ELDYN) is an entry level dynamic triaxial system, based on an axially-stiff load frame with a beam mounted electro-mechanical actuator.
The ELDYN has been designed to fulfil the demand within the geotechnical laboratory testing industry for a lower cost, more basic dynamic triaxial testing system, yet still perform to the very advanced standards that customers expect from GDS.
Electro-mechanical system: The ELDYN system supersedes systems using pneumatic actuators in terms of life costs and overall usable performance. Electro-mechanical systems can carry out full load dynamic testing to the stated frequency. Pneumatic systems tend to reduce the available amplitude with load due to the amount of air that needs to be moved from one side of the actuator to the other.
Cost savings, environmental benefits and safer operation: Electro-mechanical systems are more environmentally friendly as they only draw the energy required to do the test, resulting in lower life costs. Electro-mechanical systems are also safer to run due to no high pressure air or hydraulic pipelines being required. No large noisy power packs are required to be running all the time, the ELDYN only requires a standard mains electricity outlet, this reduces the laboratory space required and the installation costs.
Optional upgrade to Resilient Modulus with the addition of the RM software module only (potentially specific range transducers may have to be purchased, depending on the RM standard). Note: the ELDYN by default is supplied with the capability of performing RM waveshapes for AASHTO, AS and AG standards.
