A sturdy selection--mainly of poems, but in addition a few decisions from Calvino. Many amazing authors, as one can find from the checklist above. Paul Celan is winner of a Georg Buchner prize, and there's a pair Nobels up there too (Paz and Milosz).

The intensity and breadth of technology fiction and myth fiction maintains to alter with each passing yr. The twenty-nine tales selected for this ebook via award-winning anthologist Jonathan Strahan rigorously map this evolution, giving readers a charming and always-entertaining examine some of the best the style has to provide.
Brief tales by means of one of many maximum poets of the twentieth century.
Composed in 1899 whilst Rilke was once in simple terms twenty-three, the interconnected stories of "Stories of God" have been encouraged by way of a visit to Russia the younger poet had made the yr formerly. it really is acknowledged that the vastness of the Russian panorama and the profound spirituality he perceived within the uncomplicated humans he met led him to an event of discovering God in all issues, and to the conviction that God seeks to be recognized by means of us as passionately as we'd search to understand God. all of the nice topics of Rilke's later strong and complicated poetry are available within the "Stories of God," but their captivating, folktale-like caliber has made them one of the so much obtainable of Rilke's works, liked by way of every age.
Edward Paul Wellen (1919-2011) wrote basically brief tales all through his lengthy profession, basically in either the secret box, but additionally (especially early in his occupation) in technology fiction magazines. this is often the second one number of his technological know-how fiction tales we have now released, and it's one other strong one.

This weeks photo challenge is GREEN. I took this photo in the Swiss Alps (the Braunwald Area), maybe the most relaxing and greenest place I have seen.
This entry was posted on November 17, 2012 by kdawikstrom. It was filed under Nature, Road Trip, Switzerland, Travel, Weekly Photo Challenge and was tagged with Braunwald, Green, Gumen, Photography, postaday, Schweiziska alperna, Swiss Alps, Swiss Mountains, Switzerland, weekly photo challenge.
Wow, I can't think of a better word than green. I wonder how people are making a living here with all green around and none of them bearing flowers or fruits. Just kidding. Indeed, this is a relaxing photo.
Thank you. I thought your garden photos also looked very relaxing, and more fruitful than mine.
Yes, it was such a wonderful day!
How pretty!! Looks so relaxing!
Green is my favorite color – do you know that Norway is the greenest country in the world – with 53 shades of green and Ireland has only 52 – must be an Norwegian that has counted. *smile – this photo is great. Love your header photo of Hong Kong – one of the best photos I have seen … of Hong Kong so fare.
Wow, it's so beautiful that it's almost surreal! Great job! Best, G. E.
Thanks a lot, appreciate it!
Yes, it was lovely spending som time there.
Yes – I would love to go back!
I love that place! What are the buildings?
Wow! The picture is so clear & vivid. It's gorgeous!
It was a stunning place to be!
Photographs, musings, culinary commentary, and global travel adventures!


WOW. What a trophy! Congratulations!
Congratulations! A dream hunt for sure.
Ask me about the Professional Bowhunters Society.
That's an awesome accomplishment! Congrats to you!
Great hunt...nice pic, she'll look nice on the wall.
Wow, nice. Put in for a goat tag every year. Doesn't help that populations have dwindled here in SW Montana. Apparently, snowmachine disturbance is enough to cause population replacement rate to go negative.

Morrison victory: "I have always believed in miracles'
18th May 2019 9:46 PM | Updated: 19th May 2019 12:02 AM
Scott Morrison has swept to victory in a sensational federal election result that defied the polls and cements the Coalition's power.
"How good is Australia. How good are Australians. This is the best country in the world in which to live,'' Mr Morrison said.
The Coalition is on track to win government, fending off Labor and Bill Shorten's efforts to take over as prime minister.
As it stands, the Coalition is headed to form a minority government at least, but could still reach the 76 seats needed to form a majority government.
LIVE RESULTS: Seat-by-seat results
Forde Herbert Petrie Capricornia Dickson Dawson Flynn
The bombshell triumph comes after repeated polls placed the ALP ahead of the Morrison government, and the Prime Minister's demise appeared assured.
Swings to the Coalition in Queensland turned the election on its head as early figures suggested the Government could hold on.
Election experts said there would be no clear government tonight.
Labor scrutineers told news.com.au older voters have punished the party for its higher-taxing agenda. States where the economy is not thriving - such as Queensland, WA and country areas - have backed the Liberals' agenda focused on the economy and jobs.
"A bold agenda is now dead forever in Australia," a Labor scrutineer says as it became clear the election was turning against Shorten.
As the votes came in confidence began to grown among Liberal surpporters. At the official Liberal Party function in Sydney exuberant young Liberal supporters were heard chanting that the Liberals were "an election winning machine".
"Labor used to be party for the workers, now it's a party for people who don't work," one said.

Although former PM Tony Abbott lost his seat of Warringah to independent Zali Steggall, the Wentworth by-election result was reversed, with Liberal Dave Sharma reclaiming the old seat of Malcolm Turnbull from the woman who defeated him in October, Dr Kerryn Phelps.
But the swing against Labor in Queensland was devastating.
The Australian's columnist Troy Bramston says Labor figures are "stunned and shocked" at the result currently unfolding, which pretty much nobody expected.
"It looks like a diabolical night for the party," Bramston said.
ABC political editor Andrew Probyn says Labor sources are telling him their chances have been "killed" by the Coalition's preference deals with Clive Palmer's United Australia Party and Pauline Hanson's One Nation.
Results then began flowing in from the west.
Labor's Anny Aly has held on in the West Australian seat of Cowan while Patrick Gorman has also retained the seat of Perth.
The Liberal Party was won Swan, with Steve Irons being re-elected.
And Attorney-General Christian Porter has won his tough race in Pearce. Fellow minister Ken Wyatt has held on in Hasluck.
Labor gained Chisolm in Victoria. That's the seat former Liberal Julia Banks held, before deciding to contest Flinders instead. Health Minister Greg Hunt defeated her there.
The Nationals have held Cowper, fending off Rob Oakeshott.
And Liberal MP Lucy Wicks has retained Robertson.
In the days before the eleciton news.com.au's State of the Nation survey placed the Coalition ahead, however, with about 32 per cent saying the Coalition would get their vote, compared to 26 per cent for Labor.
Mr Morrison has also consistently beaten Mr Shorten in the polls as preferred PM, at 58 per cent in the State of the Nation survey compared to 42 per cent for Mr Shorten.
Labor has repeatedly beaten the Coalition in Newspoll surveys, but its leader's approval ratings trailed behind. Last week's poll showed only 38 per cent of respondents thought Mr Shorten would make the better PM to Mr Morrison's 45 per cent, although 51 per cent backed Labor to 49 per cent supporting the Coalition in the two-party preferred vote.
The result is a massive blow for Opposition Leader Bill Shorten, whose party had been ahead in almost all recent polls. Picture: AAP Image/Lukas Coch
It was a tight race, but the news is a huge blow for Mr Shorten, who had worked hard to rehabilitate his image and appeared to grow in confidence during the campaign. His second election failure is almost certain to spell the end of his leadership, while Mr Morrison will be relieved he has helped the Coalition edge over the line to return for a third term in government.
Mr Morrison's landmark achievement has up-ended almost all commentators' predictions, proving polls and general consensus are not always correct, following a pattern of recent global surprises - including the UK's Brexit vote and the election of Donald Trump as US President.
The Prime Minister repeatedly emphasised the Coalition's strength on the economy, promising income tax cuts and lower bills while playing down the threat of climate change.
Mr Morrison was a controversial Immigration Minister under Tony Abbott after the 2013 election, implementing Operation Sovereign Borders before becoming Social Services Minister in a 2014 reshuffle. The MP for Cook in New South Wales was promoted to Treasurer when Malcolm Turnbull became prime minister in 2015, and stepped in as the compromise candidate after a Peter Dutton challenge in August 2018.
But it seems he has been underestimated. After nine months in the job, Mr Morrison has been given the seal of approval by Australia.

The most preferred wheel in the World Tour, now with the benefits of Mavic UST tubeless technology.
Imagine having access to the pinnacle of road racing performance—the same level of speed, acceleration and incredible ride quality that WorldTour pros demand—but without the need for your very own support car following you around. That's what you get with the new Cosmic Ultimate UST. It's the same superlight full-carbon design that has long been a pro favourite, but with the added reliability and puncture protection of our UST Road Tubeless system. The first thing you need to know is that the wheelset weighs only 1300g. That means you'll fly up the climbs and accelerate like a rocket ship. It's also super efficient, with a wind-slicing 40mm deep, 25mm wide full-carbon tubular rim profile, 20 super-bladed spokes, and high, thin carbon hub flanges. It's also ultra-stiff thanks to the unidirectional carbon fibre spokes. These spokes run continuously from one edge of the rim to the other through the hubs (R2R technology), creating one single spoke instead of two. This eliminates the need to mechanically attach the spokes to the hub. The rear rim is asymmetrical to improve the drive-side bracing angle, so spoke tension is balanced and the wheel stays stiff under the heaviest lateral loads such as sprints or attacks. The rim is made of 12k carbon fibres wrapped over a super rigid foam core. And our unique iTgMax technology delivers reliable and consistent braking performance in both wet and dry conditions. The UST Road Tubeless setup, including our integrated Yksion Pro UST tires, saves about 15% in rolling resistance at equal tire pressure while being super easy to set up, inflate and maintain. It's easy to see why the Cosmic Ultimate is the pro's choice for the most challenging World Tour races. Now, with this UST version, it can also be yours.
Super light thanks to a full carbon construction from rim to hubs and spokes.
Super stiff thanks to monobloc carbon construction.
Super low inertia thanks to extra low rim weight.
Turn all of your power into speed.
Mavic Road UST brings rolling resistance to its minimum.
Best in class aero efficiency thanks to 40mm deep, 26mm wide. NACA rim profile, elliptical spokes and smooth spoke to rim and hub interface.
Pure performance with zero compromises.
Best braking efficiency of the carbon clincher world thanks to iTgMAX.
High puncture protection thanks to UST, and easy on-the-road tire repair.


It is apples week in the Kindergarten All-Stars classroom. We read apple math books like "Ten Red Apples" and "Ten Apples on Top", and then we created our own apple trees and wrote the number of apples on them.
Then we read the story "The Biggest Apple Ever" and compared that story with "The Biggest Pumpkin Ever". Then we made homemade apple cider using a juicer and wrote about the apple cider using describing what it looks like, smells like, and tastes like.

He says, "¡Mamá let's make tortillas!" It's a short story from his school text book, and I can't remember the story line but it surely made an impression on him.
In a large bowl, mix corn flour, salt, baking soda, warm water and oil. Stir until dough stays together and does not break apart. Knead until dough forms a large ball. It should be soft and not sticky. Cover and let stand for two minutes. Pull off balls of dough, and roll each one into a small ball circle. Flatten with the press or (like we did with two plates). Heat a heavy iron pan (or an electric skillet). Cook the tortillas until both sides are golden brown.
I have to admit these came out yummy although the texture was just missing something…. but I'll figure it out. Practice makes perfect, no?
Wow, I'm impressed! I'm not sure I could find corn flower…I won't admit how long it took me to find corn meal as it goes by a different name here (only by asking the right person last month did I finally get it). Do you think corn meal would work? Or would it be a little too course? Seeing as I now have a bag of it to use!

Q: PHP using mysqli fetch_array() inside public function I'm writing a small class for a website, below is my code:
    class Main {
        public function GetLang() {
            global $link ;
            $get_lang_id = $link->query("SELECT `lang_id`,`lang_short`, `lang_name`, `lang_dir` FROM langs");
            return $get_lang_id;
        }
    }

Now to the question.
instead of doing
$Main = new Main;
$GetLangOptions = $Main->GetLang();
while($LangOptions = $GetLangOptions -> fetch_array()){
//do something
}

can i add the fetch_array() chunk to the function GetLang() like below?
class Main {
    public function GetLang() {
        global $link ;
        $get_lang_id = $link->query("SELECT `lang_id`,`lang_short`, `lang_name`, `lang_dir` FROM tjcg_langs");
        $LangDetails = $get_lang_id -> fetch_array();
        return $LangDetails;
    }
 }

and if yes .. how can i get the results after calling the function?
SOLUTION:
Using Santosh Achari's answer with the help of the voted answer here i managed the following:
class Main {
    public function GetLang() {
        global $link ;
        $get_lang_id = $link->query("SELECT `lang_id`,`lang_short`, `lang_name`, `lang_dir` FROM tjcg_langs");
        $rows = array();
        while($get_lang=$get_lang_id->fetch_array(MYSQLI_ASSOC)){
        $rows[] = $get_lang;}
        return $rows;
    }
}
    $Main = new Main;
    $GetLangOptions = $Main->GetLang();
    foreach($GetLangOptions  as $LangOption){
    echo $LangOption['lang_short'];
}

A: You seem to have the answer in the title itself. Use fetch_array() instead of fetch_assoc()
 class Main {
        public function GetLang() {
            global $link ;
            $get_lang_id = $link->query("SELECT `lang_id`,`lang_short`, `lang_name`, `lang_dir` FROM langs");
            return $get_lang_id;
        }
        public function GetUserDetails($user_id) {
            global $link ;
            $get_user_details = $link->query("SELECT `tjcg_users`.`user_id`, `tjcg_users`.`user_full_name`, `tjcg_users`.`user_name`, `tjcg_users`.`user_pass`, `tjcg_users`.`user_email`, `tjcg_users`.`user_date`, `tjcg_users`.`user_level`, `tjcg_users`.`user_session_token`, `tjcg_users`.`user_photo`, `tjcg_users`.`user_gender`, `tjcg_users`.`user_last_login` FROM tjcg_users where user_id= '$user_id'");
        $UserDetails = $get_user_details -> fetch_array(MYSQLI_ASSOC);
            return $UserDetails ;
        }
    }

In case you want to use fetch_assoc, you can also build the array inside your function GetUserDetails() and return it.

A: Do you mean using the $LangDetails variable? You can use it in a foreach statement or while loop to print the results.
$Main = new Main;
$GetLangOptions = $Main->GetLang();
foreach($GetLangOptions  as $LangOption){
echo $LangOption["column1"];
}

Foreach is easy and manageable. But you can also use while loop
$Main = new Main;
$GetLangOptions = $Main->GetLang();

while (list ($key, $val) = each ($GetLangOptions ) ) {
echo $val['coloumn1'];
}

DNA PROJECT
Register of First Butlers
Objectives of The Butler Society
The objectives of the Society, as defined in 1967, are:
To bring together the diverse and scattered branches of the Butler family, its allied families, and its friends, to nurture old ties and develop new connections.
To preserve family records, the history, manuscripts and memorabilia, and maintain the traditions.
To establish in Kilkenny a focal point for friendliness and family lore and to sponsor periodic reunions at that location, during which the ties of blood, marriage and inter-family relationships may be strengthened and preserved.
The Butler Society crest is described officially as being a ducal coronet, with a plume of five ostrich feathers issuing from it, and surmounted by a falcon rising. The ducal coronet refers to the Dukes of Ormonde, whose family name was Butler. The falcon was the personal heraldic badge of Anne Boleyn, second wife of King Henry VIII. Anne's grandmother, Lady Margaret Butler, was the daughter of Thomas Butler, the 7th Earl of Ormonde, so the crest recognises this link.
International Rallies
International Rallies are held every three years, when members of the Society gather in Ireland from all over the world, to attend a number of functions in and around Kilkenny and its Castle. In 2017, in addition to the Triennial Rallies, a special "Jubilee Rally" was held to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the formation of the Butler Society.
The scheduled Triennial Rally for 2018 was then held in and around London, with a focus on the life of Anne Boleyn, wife of King Henry VIII, and granddaughter of Lady Margaret Butler, whose father was Thomas Butler, the 7th Earl of Ormonde.
2021 Triennial Rally
The next Triennial Rally will be held in Kilkenny, Ireland, in 2021.
Southern Cross Region
The Southern Cross Region was established as a branch of The Butler Society in 1972, and represents members in Australia and New Zealand. Meetings are usually held in and around Melbourne, as the core Committee is based in Victoria. However, members from other locations can participate by contacting either the President or the Secretary and passing on their comments, concerns, etc, which will then be tabled at the meetings on their behalf. Or they can use technology such as Skype, or other forms of video/audio conferencing to link-up.
Southern Cross Butler Gatherings
Southern Cross Butler Gatherings are held at three year intervals in Australia, each time in a different State, when we learn about Butler individuals or families who have contributed to the early history of our host State. In 2013, the Gathering was in Victoria. Another Gathering was held in October 2016 in South Australia, and was attended by people from Australia, New Zealand and England. The Gatherings provide a great opportunity for people to meet, learn about Butler family histories, exchange hints and information on genealogy research, and possibly discover a previously unknown cousin.
The next Southern Cross Gathering will be held from 30th August to 2nd September 2019 in Queensland. Events will include an opening reception; a trip to the country town of Kilcoy; talks on pioneer Butler families in Queensland; a genealogy forum and dinner; and visits to some historic homesteads.
The Committee is always looking for ways to maintain contact with our extended "family" of members. Our Newsletters are issued at regular intervals throughout the year, and contain items of general interest, news of member's activities, and articles that members have submitted on their family histories. If a member is seeking assistance with their research, a paragraph in the Newsletter may provide the answer!
A Butler Journal is published and distributed every three years from Ireland. The Journals contain many well-researched articles submitted by members from all over the world, concerning individual Butlers or their family histories.
Over the years, Southern Cross members have donated photographs, memorabilia, booklets, and various documents to the Society. These have now been collected in to a central Archive in Melbourne, and an index is being prepared. The next stage will be to decide how the various items can be scanned and recorded digitally, so members can readily access the information.
Database of Genealogies
Almost all of our members have researched their family histories, and the Archive contains copies of a number of genealogies. The Southern Cross Region is currently investigating how the various sources of information can be combined and cross-referenced, so that possible links between members are highlighted.
Butlers of Note
Over the years, many Butlers have made a significant contribution in the fields of business, politics, arts or sports. Or they have invented something or established an essential service. Some of these Butlers have become rich or famous, but a number have been quiet achievers and unsung heroes. We believe that these people also deserve recognition, and we are therefore compiling our own "Hall of Fame", to record their achievements.

FACT: 1,788 Abortions Take Place in the United States Every Day
Source: Abortion Surveillance 2014, CDC
In 2014, 652,639 legal induced abortions were reported to CDC from 49 reporting areas. The abortion rate for 2014 was 12.1 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years, and the abortion ratio was 186 abortions per 1,000 live births.
Compared with 2013, the total number and rate of reported abortions for 2014 decreased 2%, and the ratio decreased 7%. Additionally, from 2005 to 2014, the number, rate, and ratio of reported abortions decreased 21%, 22%, and 22%, respectively. In 2014, all three measures reached their lowest level for the entire period of analysis (2005—2014).
Women in their twenties accounted for the majority of abortions in 2014 and throughout the period of analysis. The majority of abortions in 2014 took place early in gestation: 91.5% of abortions were performed at ≤13 weeks' gestation; a smaller number of abortions (7.2%) were performed at 14–20 weeks' gestation, and even fewer (1.3%) were performed at ≥21 weeks' gestation. In 2014, 22.6% of all abortions were early medical abortions. The percentage of abortions reported as early medical abortions increased 110% from 2005 to 2014, with a 1% increase from 2013 to 2014.

............................ coming back together. Got a few hours in up at Geoff's today and got the bottom end "buttoned up", the crank journals were good but it's had new shells and mains anyway. Kinda takes the guess work out of it, plus there's no-one else to blame if there's a problem later on. Had to smile when Geoff introduced his con rod protectors, apparently an idea he saw in a 1958 copy of Motorcycle Mechanics, just a couple of toilet roll tubes dropped over! Most of the best ideas are the simple solution.


The Global Heritage Fund is monitoring Burmese archaeological sites such as Bagan and Pyu with satellite technology.
The Bagan archaeological area and the so-called Ancient Cities of Upper Myanmar (Innwa, Amarapura, Sagaing, Mingun and Mandalay) are classified as "At Risk" by GHN while the Myauk-U archaeological area in Rakhine State, which has come under threat with the building of a railroad, is flagged as in need of rescue.
With a fledgling tourism industry, Burma's historical areas could be damaged by overenthusiastic development as tourist arrivals continue to increase. Local authorities have been working hard to promote Burma as a holiday destination while leader of the National League for Democracy, Aung San Suu Kyi, has eased her opposition to private tourism in the country.
But there are already signs that tourism is coming at the cost of local heritage sites. Residents from Myauk-U in 2010 formally complained to local authorities that construction of a new railroad was damaging key cultural sites, such as pagodas, stupas and religious libraries. A number of hotels have been built to accommodate travelers enticed by the ancient ruins, but residents are furious at the prospect of important religious structures being bulldozed.
While Burma, officially known as Myanmar, has been slow off the mark, communities in other countries around the region have welcomed heritage-focused initiatives.
"It goes from non-appreciation of the heritage site to appreciation. Locals don't initially understand why people from 4,000 miles away care about what's in their backyard. But the truth is, it was always there," said Morgan.
With many of the world's most prized heritage sites located in some of its poorest countries, preserving these treasures could improve lives as heritage sites can be used to create opportunities for economic development that in turn alleviate poverty by injecting money into communities.
But the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), which is mandated to monitor threats to the world's natural and cultural heritage, has found it difficult to monitor world-famous sites like Angkor Wat in Cambodia, which is now suffering at the hands of mass tourism.
UNESCO's culture chief Francesco Bandarin told The Art Newspaper, "All the rules of conservation have been overrun by the sheer volume of tourists. At Angkor Wat, in Cambodia, the temples are being conserved, but we did not realise that nearby, at Siem Reap, 150 luxury hotels have sprung up like mushrooms.
"We were distracted because we were focusing on conservation of the temples, not on the environment. Now it is a problem. We are not an international police force, but we do run a substantial monitoring system," he said.
Some of the world's most visited sites—like Tikal in Guatemala and Machu Picchu in Peru—are real money-spinners, but all that could be lost if the sites aren't preserved for future generations. Linking heritage to poverty alleviation is, however, a fairly new trend.
"I haven't seen anyone directly do that. I think that's been a real hole and Francesco Bandarin for the first time [in 2010] went to New York and asked to have that especially added into the wording of the Millennium Development Goals, and they agreed to pass a resolution," added Morgan.
"The Millennium Development Goals were drafted 10 to 15 years ago. For the past eight years, we've been the ones who have really pushed the agenda. When we started the project in Wat Phu, Laos, five years ago, there were 12,000 visitors annually and today there are 250,000, of which 50,000 are local. Foreigners are paying five bucks a piece, so that's a million dollars into the coffers, and that means the site is now financially stable for maintenance and continual conservation," he added.
John Sanday, GHF's regional director for Asia and the Pacific, has seen the difference this money can make.
"All over Asia I do see alleviation of poverty because we are providing training and developing skills, and hopefully that provides a long-term income for these people," he said. "Because of modernization, crafts have been forgotten and there's a great risk of this younger generation missing out altogether on the handover of particular skills their fathers had, so I would say cultural programmes or conservation projects are incredibly beneficial—and I'm talking at the level of the local people themselves," he said.
"When I started working in Cambodia, many locals came to work by foot. A couple of years later they turned up on bicycles and by the end of my stint after 10 years working on this one particular project they were all turning up on motor scooters. If that's not an indication of poverty alleviation I can't say what is," he said.
Global heritage sites in developing countries are predicted to rake in more than $100 billion a year by 2025, according to Global Heritage Fund figures.
"What other industry can generate 100 billion dollars a year?" asked Morgan.


My Home and Garden: An awesome batch of Kombucha. It even has fizz!!
The continuous brewer method of brewing Kombucha is really a superior way of doing it. The batch ages to perfection in just a few days. It comes out of the crock a bit fizzy. Tonight I added some pure grape juice and sealed the bottle for the second fermentation, turned the bottle upside down to blend the extra Kombucha that I filled the bottle with and it fizzed all over. I've never been so happy to have a mess to clean up. I MADE FIZZY GRAPE KOMBUCHA!!

Keeping safe when tempers fray during administration
We've worked with Adminstrators and IPs a lot over the past few years because of the current economic situation. I'd like to tell you about a job we did recently with a road haulage company.
It's starts with a familiar story. The company were finding the going tough and the MD had to make some tough decisions to ensure that the company had a future.
The decisions would include restructuring the head office with inevitable admin job losses, as well as downsizing the fleet size in the UK with tractor units and trailers being returned to various finance companies and also some very difficult decisions on which drivers to keep and which to let go.
The MD also had to consider exactly how and which process of administration would best suit him as he restructured the business. He eventually opted for a Pre-pack to ensure the company's survival. There were additional concerns to be considered for example, the safety of his staff, his fellow directors and the drivers that he intended to keep whilst redundancies were being made. Then there were assets to be protected prior to being returned to the leasing companies. Some of the assets were in the yard yet many were bomburst throughout Europe.
He called our company Sec-Tech to ensure that everyone stayed safe during this difficult and emotional period.
Sec-Tech was able to liaise with the local police, the bailiffs, the appointed administrators and the company directors to ensure that the following occurred: –
• The company could function safely and securely on a day to day basis.
• All the staff were kept safe at all times.
• The administrators were kept safe whilst they performed their task.
• All company vehicles, tractor units, trailers and assets were protected.
• All loads including some very high value ones were kept safe.
• All tractor units and trailers that were returned to the various bailiffs and finance companies were returned in a controlled manner that best suited the haulier.
• Any persons who unfortunately were made redundant were treated with courtesy and respect but their access to company premises was carefully controlled.
The above list of actions were successfully carried out because Sec-Tech uses former police officers with a knowledge of the law second to none. Having Ex Police Officers on site ensured that control was maintained and a smooth transition of the company as per the pre-pack agreement whilst allowing the company to continue to function.
Our Operations Director Andy Redhead commented, "It's never pleasant when you are involved in the security of a business whilst redundancies are being made, however by being professional and maintaining control, being courteous in dealing with all involved and showing respect and dignity to those being made redundant we can at least make things more bearable for all involved and ensure that everyone goes home safely to their loved ones."
If you have any concerns with respect to security whilst going about your business then please contact us. We'll be happy to give what advice and assistance we can to ensure that a difficult time is made bearable.

What's the cause of back pain?
Most of us suffer some form of neck and back pain during our lifetime. It's just as common as a headache, stomachache or knee pain. "Until it was turned into a medical condition in the early 20thcentury, back pain was considered an inevitable human experience," said Canadian surgeon Hamilton Hall, MD. "There is no simple cure because there is usually not a clear-cut precipitating trigger associated with many forms of musculoskeletal pain," notes Hall.
require high-tech diagnostic testing, heroic treatment interventions or significant absence from work. These conditions, like most cases of neck/back pain, simply are bumps in the road.
Traditional massage techniques are helpful in desensitizing hyperexcited cutaneous (skin and fascial) neuroreceptors. However, deep-tissue techniques that incorporate active client movements (enhancers) during the hands-on work, add additional therapeutic power by calming articular (joint) receptors and improving proprioception and body awareness.
Intrinsic muscles and joints are inseparable; what affects one always affects the other. Therefore, myofascial pain syndromes should include soft-tissue techniques that create extensibility in contractured tissues via graded exposure (repeated non-painful movements), tonify weak muscles, and decompress impacted, motion-restricted joints and their supporting ligaments.
As the research rolls in and causality is eventually decided, it is in the client's best interest to immediately begin routinely scheduled bodywork sessions in conjunction with a specialized corrective exercise regime… regardless of origin. Well structured manual therapy sessions and individualized rehabilitation programs appear to be the treatment of choice for this chronic and sometimes disabling condition that affects an estimated 2 million Americans each year.


As we drove back to Reykjavík I saw the Vestmannaeyjar archipelago off the south coast. Red Eldfell and green Helgafell looked familiar and I remembered the great times I'd had on Heimaey. I was tempted to go back but I had new places to go. I spent a night in Reykjavík, limping about with a foot injury that had suddenly flared up, and then I headed out into the interior again.
I got a bus across the Kjölur route to Hveravellir. It was an Icelandic nostalgia trip at first as we passed through Hveragerði and Selfoss, and then stopped at Geysir and Gulfoss. After that, we were into new territory for me. The tarmac stopped and we were in parts of Iceland that are only accessible for three months each year. We rumbled on. It was a sunny day and it was really hot inside the bus. The landscape was desert-like. We stopped a few times on the way at points of vague interest, and every time we did I was slightly shocked to get off the bus and feel cool air.
We got to Hveravellir in the early afternoon. There was not a cloud in the sky. I spoke to the guy in the small shop as I bought a coffee, and he said it had been like this for a week and didn't look like it would change any time soon. I almost couldn't believe him. In my Icelandic experience, stable weather for seven hours was almost unheard of, let alone seven days.
But he was right. It stayed awesome the whole time I was at Hveravellir. After the daytime visitors had gone, there were just a handful of campers left. I went to explore the hot springs. In the strangeness of an Arctic midnight, the twilight sky never faded to darkness and the landscape looked surreal. A full moon peeked above the horizon. The geysers here were all constantly bubbling. A mud geyser spurted intermittently, and I spent ages trying to photograph it before I finally caught an eruption.
I kind of fancied doing a long hike from here. I could have spent two or three days hiking to Hvítárvatn. But the strenuous bits of my trip were behind me, I only had a few days left, and I decided to relax a little bit. So I saw what I could at Hveravellir, relaxed in the sunshine of the arctic desert, and then headed back towards Reykjavík.


I just came across these photographs, by Daniel B. Austin and Adam Dove, in the collections of the New York & Brooklyn Public Libraries. They show the De Hart-Bergen House, built by Symon Aertszen DeHart in the 1670s. The property was built on a 300 acre tract DeHart purchased "on the shore of Gowanus Cove," between what became Second & Third Avenues, and variously described as standing at several points between 37th & 39th Streets. The house was apparently demolished in the 1880s.
"We found a good fire,' they say, in speaking of the house, "half-way up the chimney, of clear oak and hickory, of which they made not the least scruple in burning profusely. We let it penetrate us thoroughly. There had been already thrown upon it, to be roasted, a pail-ful of Gouanes oysters, which are the best in the country. . . " Dinner also included venison, turkey and goose.
dinner with a giant shopping cart in the Costco aisles, or cramming the spoils of the shop into your SUV.
Thank you for posting these; Symon was my ancestor & it was great to see what the house really looks like vs. the drawing!
Thanks for looking at the blog! You've probably come across the Dankers diary before, but if you haven't you can read the whole thing at the Project Gutenberg site. There's more there about the visit to the DeHarts, and further travels in New Amsterdam.


The legal restrictions on some genetic tests are reducing their use and development, according to a new study done at Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif. About one-fourth of 122 diagnostic laboratory directors surveyed said they had stopped providing at least one genetic test for diseases such as breast cancer, Alzheimer's disease, cardiovascular disease and muscular dystrophy because of patent or licensing restrictions. About half of the directors said they would not research and develop specific tests because of the possibility of a patent or licence being awarded to someone else. "Lab directors are reluctant to develop a test if they think there's going to be a patent pending down the road," lead investigator Mildred Cho, acting co-director of Stanford's Center for Biomedical Ethics, told UPI's GeneAlert. High prices for tests and decreased ability to standardize results are some of the impacts of the tight controls, Cho said in a telephone call from Canberra, Australia, where she presented her findings last week at the 2002 conference on "Intellectual property and biotechnology: Access ownership and control."
Proteins produced by a gene called RhoGD12 might help prevent cancer from spreading, according to researchers at the University of Virginia Health System in Charlottesville. They used advanced DNA technology to discover that low levels of RhoGDI2 activity were found more often in metastasized cancer than in localized cancer. "It is clear the gene plays a role in the cancer's lethal progression to metastasis and not in the initial formation of the cancer," said principal investigator Dan Theodorescu. "As such, it is one of only a handful of true metastasis suppressor genes known." If a diagnostic test could be developed for low levels of this protein, it could determine which cancers might spread, leading to individualized treatments, they said. If the gene could be stimulated in metastatic cancers -- using gene therapy or other approaches -- the technique could become a new cancer suppression therapy. The findings are published in the Nov. 15 issue of the journal Cancer Research.
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases issued an optimistic press release on Nov. 13, headlined, "New HIV Vaccine Holds Promise of Global Effectiveness." The vaccine would rely heavily on combining material from genes in three different groups of human immunodeficiency virus, called clades. "This is the first multigene, multiclade HIV vaccine to enter human trials," said NIAID director Anthony S. Fauci. "It marks an important milestone in our search for a single vaccine that targets U.S. subtypes of HIV as well as clades causing the global epidemic," he said. It will be about a year before results of this small, 50-person safety trial are known, Gary Nabel, director of the NIAID vaccine research center told UPI's GeneAlert, and it will be 2007 -- at the very earliest -- before any vaccine could be available commercially.
A computer programmed to distinguish different types of amino acid sequences in genes is able to predict the severity of one resulting disease, chronic hemolytic anemia. "This is the first model-based system for predicting phenotype (function of the cell or organism) based on genotype (an individual's DNA)," the University of California, San Diego, announced in a prepared statement. The researchers inserted 150 different DNA sequences known to cause enzyme deficiencies in red blood cell metabolism into a computer model. The model then predicted accurately which mutations would result in chronic hemolytic anemia and which would cause a less severe version of the disease. "Eventually, there could be a kind of databank of specific genetic mutations that cause precise disease variants," said researcher Bernhard Palsson. "This could be incredibly useful for drug development and will aid physicians in creating effective treatment plans for individuals." The results are published in the November issue of the journal Genome Research.


SUNDERLAND FOOTBALL Club's appointment of Paolo Di Canio last Sunday has faced mounting scrutiny because of the Italian's past actions and comments.
In 2005, Di Canio made a fascist salute to Lazio fans while playing for the Rome club. He has previously said he is not a racist but is fascist.
Also, during his previous job as manager of Swindon Town he was subject to an allegation of racism against him, but was cleared by the Football Association.
The Society of Black Lawyers (SBL) is one of the latest groups taking the northeastern club and the FA to task over the former West Ham player's managerial arrival into the Premier League.
In a letter to the FA, chair of SBL Peter Herbert said: "SBL is seriously concerned that a manager fined by FIFA for making a fascist salute in 2005 is appointed without being asked by the FA or anyone else to make any commitment to anti racism.
"SBL takes the view that any such self serving distinctions lack credibility and does not stand up to any intelligent scrutiny. Fascism has always had racial superiority as one its core beliefs," the human rights barrister added.
David Neita, a barrister and poet who has taken active role in tackling racism within grassroots football, said: "The FA have to understand that there can be no more dangerous precedent for football than to have a known fascist appointed to a leadership position of a premier league club as if that was only a matter for those interested in politics.
Eddie Nestor, a BBC radio presenter, also joined the chorus of disapproval over Di Canio's move into top flight football.
Writing an opinion in The Voice he called the "union" between Sunderland and the Italian as "ill-fated".
The controversy of hiring Di Canio gained momentum when David Miliband announced he was to quit his role of vice-chairman at Sunderland because of the choice of new manager.
The former Foreign Secretary who is standing down as an MP to begin a new job in New York, decided to leave his post at the Premier League side due to Di Canio's past statements, such as describing Benito Mussolini, the Italian fascist dictator and ally to Adolf Hitler during the Second World War, as "a very principled ethical individual" who was "deeply misunderstood".
However, Di Canio, who refused to answer questions about his political views in his first press conference, yesterday retracted his previous claim of being a fascist.
In a statement he said: "I am not political, I do not affiliate myself to any organisation.
"I am not a racist. I do not support the ideology of fascism.
"I respect everyone. I am a football man. This and my family are my focus. Now I will speak only of football", the newly appointed manager added.
Sunderland's choice of manager was further complicated by the fact that the team is sponsored by Invest In Africa – the company's logo is printed across the club's red and white strip.
Due to the nature of Di Canio's past admiration for Mussolini, who committed atrocities in East Africa against native populations, it has created further embarrassment for the club.
However, the sponsor declined to directly comment on Di Canio when contacted by The Voice.
"The managerial changes at Sunderland AFC at the weekend are a footballing matter for the club, and as such we direct all inquiry regarding this to the club," a spokesman said.
"Invest in Africa has a one year sponsorship deal with Sunderland AFC with options to renew for the future.
"As a matter of course during this time in the sponsorship term and unrelated to events over the weekend we are currently reviewing our partnership with the club," they added.

Buying electricity from renewable sources can be complicated
By Brian Palmer
Utilities deregulation has advanced across much of the country, with nearly half of the states allowing consumers to choose their retail electricity supplier. Shopping for electricity is a bit of a strange proposition, though. How are you supposed to choose? Unlike computers or clothing or bread, all electrons look and behave the same.
Utilities have to find a way to distinguish themselves from competitors. In Maryland's and the District's deregulated utility markets, residents are receiving offers from utilities that guarantee 100 percent green energy.
Getting all of your electricity from windmills, solar panels and the like may sound good, but what does it mean?
Our electricity comes from a grid. Suppliers put energy in and consumers take energy out. Since the grid mixes all of that energy together, regardless of source — solar, wind, coal, nuclear and natural gas, among others — there's really no way to purchase electricity from a particular source.
"You can't color electrons," says Frank Wolak, who studies the effects of competition on energy and other commodities at Stanford University. "Consumers get the same electrons from the system regardless of supplier. The rest is simply financial transactions."
Fairly new and unknown form of retail conjures questions - choosing the right electricity supplier. (Thinkstock/WWW.JUPITERIMAGES.COM)
Green revenue streams
These transactions are important to the environment, and they're also complicated. Let's first look at the system from the supply side.
Green energy suppliers have three sources of revenue. First, they sell the energy itself, just as coal plants do. Second, they receive a direct subsidy from the government, known as a production tax credit. Third, they sell renewable energy certificates, or RECs, to less-green utilities.
In a sense, RECs are creations of the government. They have value because many states mandate that a percentage of the electricity that utilities sell come from renewable sources. The requirement is known as the renewable portfolio standard.
In Maryland, for example, around 7.5 percent of the energy that a utility sells must be green, a figure that is set to rise to 20 percent by 2022. If a utility produces little or no green energy on its own, it can buy RECs to satisfy the quota. The RECs are a significant revenue source for windmills and other suppliers of renewable energy.
If you choose to purchase from a green energy retailer, it's helpful to keep these revenue streams in mind. Consider Clean Currents, a Rockville company selling wind power via two options.
In one, when a customer orders a kilowatt-hour of energy, Clean Currents buys that energy from local wind farms and from solar farms, along with the corresponding RECs that the producer earned for generating it. In other words, you're paying into two of the green energy producer's revenue streams.
In the second program, Clean Currents buys energy from the same suppliers that provide electricity to your regular power company — which means it's generated by a combination of coal, natural gas, nuclear and some renewables — along with RECs from a wind producer. In this case, you're paying into only one of the windmills' revenue streams, the RECs. While this is cheaper for customers than the local program, it also means that less of your money goes to green producers.
The big question is whether programs like these actually increase the production of renewable energy. In the most immediate sense, the answer is no.
Driving up demand
The wind keeps blowing and the sun continues to shine, so renewable-energy facilities typically pump electricity into the grid no matter how much green energy Americans purchase directly. The idea behind green energy retailing is to drive up demand for renewable energy over the long term. When customers buy all of their energy from green sources, the supply of that energy and the market for RECs will tighten. This should increase both the price and profitability of green energy. And that will make it more attractive to invest in renewable energy facilities.
The visible hand
Demand increases, so supply increases. Sounds like a free-marketeer's dream right? Not exactly.
"There's quite a bit of distortion in the market," says Daniel Kirschen, a professor of engineering at the University of Washington and an expert on the electrical grid. "Green energy is heavily subsidized by the government, and manufacturers rely on those subsidies for profits."
At this point, renewable energies aren't even close to being price-competitive without those state and federal government supports. According to Stanford's Wolak, both wind and solar energy cost several times as much to produce as energy from fossil fuels.
If investors are going to buy into wind farms, they will want the government to prove to them that both the direct subsidies and the renewable portfolio standards will remain in place for years to come, even if public enthusiasm wanes.
"Utilities and consumers don't mind paying extra for renewable energy when it represents a small fraction of total supply," says Wolak. "But they might not be as enthusiastic when they have to pay above-market prices for one-fifth of their energy."
It's also not clear how much green energy production can expand in the next decade. Available real estate for wind farms will eventually dwindle. Unless engineering advances dramatically increase productivity per acre, the price of green energy could rise. Even more significant, fossil fuel energy is getting cheaper. Fracking has made available large amounts of natural gas — enough to depress the cost of fossil fuels for decades.
In the end, committing to buy renewable energy is an investment in green infrastructure, but it's also a political act. At current prices, it's a political act with little or no costs to individual pocketbooks. Some of the programs are slightly cheaper than standard utility rates, due to the government support.

I have struggled with acne and blemishes for a huge part of my teenage life. Although it is under control now and I break out far less than I used to, I like to keep my skincare routine targeted at blemish-prone skin for fear that the dreaded spots would return if I switched it to normal. I am also left with a few scars on my forehead (a word of advice: NEVER touch your spots!). My evening skincare routine has been tried and tested, I spent months trying new products and working out what is best for me, and it has really paid off. If you suffer from acne or breakouts, I would really recommend purchasing some of the products targeted at blemish-prone skin as I have tried a lot of products out there and these are my favourites. If you don't, I have also featured some of my favourite products aimed at normal skin.
Firstly, after removing my make up with the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water (I forgot to take a photo), I exfoliate my skin using this electronic cleansing brush and a facial scrub. I have only recently purchased the cleansing brush, but I can already see a huge difference in my skin; my pores are more refined and clean, and my skin has a glow to it. This facial scrub is targeted at imperfection-prone skin, but I think it would work well for anyone. It's important to exfoliate to remove dead skin cells on your face and any remains of make-up from the day - otherwise they will just clog up your pores and give you spots! Using this cleansing brush has also helped with some of my acne scarring as it takes away dead skin, leaving them less noticeable and deep.
A few times a week, I like to use a face mask to deeply cleanse my skin. If I have a particular nasty break out, I use the Quick Fix mask but if not, I stick to Simple as it contains no unnecessary artificial ingredients and it feels very soothing and smooth on my skin. I love using face masks as it helps me to relax, I often read a few chapters of a book or paint my nails while I am waiting to remove it.
I was recommended this face mask at a spa day with my mum. It was quite pricey but I can honestly say it has been one of my favourite products EVER. I only use it about once a week, instead of another face mask, as I don't want to use it up too quickly. It is advertised as a "vacuum cleaner for the skin" and I totally agree! It removes blackheads, unclogs pores, reduces the appearance of red spots and leaves your skin feeling fresh and oil-free. You only need a tiny amount to coat your entire face, or you can just dab it onto problem areas, so I definitely think it is worth the money!
After removing a face mask with warm water, or after my first cleanse, I like to cleanse again. I use a softer cleanser for this step and just use my hands to apply it to a wet face. This product is not targeted at blemish-prone skin but I think it has contributed to clearing my skin up, as it is really gentle and doesn't strip your skin of its moisture like some cleansers - which can lead to your skin producing extra oil which can clog our pores up!
This is another product I got on my spa day. I love this range of products as they are very natural and gentle, and don't contain things like alcohol where other brands do. This toner has been working well for my skin. It's important to tone after cleansing as it closes up the pores that would have opened with warm water, ensuring they are not clogged with anything.
Recently I have added this serum into my skincare routine, after reading a few articles about the benefits of using a serum. I don't use it every day as I am not yet used to it and don't want to pile lots of products onto my face, but so far it has been working well for me to apply a tiny amount after cleansing and before moisturising.
I like to use a moisturiser targeted at blemish-prone skin at all times because they usually don't contain any oil. I find this works for me as I am reluctant to put extra oil onto my face. It is important to moisturise even if you have oily skin, because if you don't your skin will think it is dry and start producing extra sebum which will cause blemishes. Occasionally, I mix a drop of tea-tree oil into my moisturiser as it works wonders for my skin, but it is too harsh to apply directly to skin on it's own.
Finally, I dab a small amount of this gel onto any existing blemishes or areas of my skin which feel like they could be forming blemishes. When I first tried this product I hated it, but because I didn't want to waste such a huge tube I decided to be persistent with it. Now, I have gone through a fair few tubes and absolutely adore it! It is non-greasy and really helps to fight spots through the night - I often wake up with completely clear skin and I'm sure it is partly down to this product!
I hope this skincare routine will help those of you who struggle with blemish-prone skin - I know just how upsetting and disheartening it is when nothing works but you really do have to be persistent! Make sure you cleanse, tone and moisturise twice a day, every day, even if you haven't worn make-up or are too tired. I can't stress how important it is to have this routine! I also recommend drinking more water as it hydrates your skin and flushes out toxins. I didn't mention much of The Body Shop's Anti-Blemish range but I often switch out these products with some of theirs - they work just as well if not better in some cases! I am in-between orders on their products but as soon as I stock up I will be writing a review.
Ahh it seems you have a good solid skincare routine! I used to suffer horribly with spots and now I'm left with a lot of scarring on my chin so I can totally understand the struggle of dealing with this! I completely recommend Bio Oil for scarring, my scarring dramatically reduced within the first 7 days of using it!
That temple spa facemask seems fab - I've never actually come across a product that has visible removed blackheads!
I have spot prone skin and I'm getting frustrated that I've not found a cure yet.

South Florida Environmentalist Shares Concerns Amidst Growing Water-Quality Debate
Dan Cooper March 11, 2019 Environment, Florida, Water
A native of the Pacific Northwest and now a resident of St. Lucie County, Nyla Pipes began working in 2013 with those concerned about growing water-quality and related environmental issues in Florida. She's been a driving force and is now executive director of the non-profit One Florida Foundation. Pipes gave an exclusive interview following the February meeting of the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) governing board.
That was the historic last meeting of the previous SFWMD governing board, where exiting board members spoke their minds bluntly, after Governor Ron DeSantis pressured all their resignations in favor of replacing them with a new panel of his own choosing. The next SFWMD governing board meeting is scheduled for this Thursday, March 14. It will be the first time there is no agriculture representation on the governing board.
Nyla Pipes
In her first brief comments linked below, hear Pipes discuss how One Florida Foundation got started, and what she feels makes it different than some of the more highly vocal 'environmental' groups so often in the news. She offers unique insight into past experiences that she says molded her perspective about working for the environment in situations like this involving many diverse interests:
Until recently, Pipes served the SFWMD for several years as a member of what was first known as its Water Resources Advisory Committee, which later became the Water Resources Analysis Coalition (WRAC) with a more direct public information component.
Each SFWMD governing board member appointed some members to WRAC, and the group was also chaired by a governing board member. As a result, WRAC involved more than two dozen individuals from a wide range of talents and regional water stakeholder interests. WRAC members represented municipalities, construction, development, environmental groups, outdoorsmen, sportsmen and other groups, and of course, agriculture.
WRAC met monthly, a week in advance of the governing board. In the WRAC meetings, deep presentations, updates and public input took place, along with focused analysis and group discussion toward seeking consensus and further knowledge among all.
As Pipes explains in these next comments, she felt WRAC meetings provided a valuable opportunity for factual exchange and learning, and for public access to the facts of the issues and the science involved. In these comments, the One Florida Foundation spokesperson discusses her experience as a WRAC member and shares concerns about the present situation at SFWMD:
As Pipes just explained, the future of the WRAC concept at SFWMD is presently not clear. WRAC's dismantling was an added consequence of the governor's recent actions to replace the entire SFWMD governing board.
Considering the enormous amount of time collectively invested by WRAC members volunteering for their communities, I asked Pipes what she was feeling now that the entire WRAC group and SFWMD governing board have all been abruptly relieved of their duties:
As Pipes explains in her comments above, she came into the South Florida water debate as a resident and a concerned environmentalist. She has no background in agriculture but was well-versed and well-studied on the water-quality issues as they were negatively impacting her local area in St. Lucie County. Her objective was to seek and learn the facts, and to engage the rest of the community and related stakeholders in discussion.
Asked if she made any surprising discoveries in her extensive fact-finding mission and invested time as a member of WRAC, she gave some pointed examples about agriculture in South Florida and development further north in Central Florida. She also discussed hydrology, geology, increased runoff from expanding urban development, and water flow facts that she says are all too often misreported or misrepresented to the public:
Pipes further explains an important point that many people don't understand when it comes to how Florida is uniquely situated with its water supply underground, and how it relates directly to the water flow on top of the ground. From her straightforward and informed environmentalist view, she articulates clearly in her next comment about how previous mistakes are coming back to haunt the state, and millions of the residents moving in are unknowingly becoming a part of the developing problem:
Considering the abrupt replacement of the entire SFWMD governing board and shutdown of WRAC, coupled with the mission of her organization to open the conversation to involve all stakeholders in the state's water issues toward finding a solution that can be shared by all, we asked Pipes for her closing comments as she considers where things might go from here. She offered several suggestions:
FOOTNOTE: 'One Florida Foundation' Executive Director Nyla Pipes remains engaged with social media circles as one of her many efforts to engage anyone, including sometimes others in the environmental community, when she recognizes misinformation or other agendas being promoted that are self-serving to organizations over the cause they claim to represent. This recent Facebook post is a good example, in response to an article about some research being funded about some of the proposals of the "Everglades Foundation" :

Brittany Maynard scheduled to die this Saturday, fulfills bucket list wish
By Lindsay Bever
Updated October 30, 2014 — 9.01am first published at 7.20am
Last week, Brittany Maynard stood atop the Grand Canyon, dressed in a banana-yellow shirt, hot-pink sweater and a quiet smile. She posed in snapshots with her family — documenting the last adventure on her "bucket list".
Maynard, 29, was diagnosed in April with a stage 4 malignant brain tumour and given six months to live. She also learned how she could suffer in the end, losing her ability to speak and use her own body. So, earlier this month, she made plans to die on her own terms.

"I don't want to die," Maynard told CBS "This Morning." But she said she's now suffering from "bone-splitting" headaches, seizures and "moments when I'm looking at my husband's face and I can't think of his name".
Maynard set her death date for November 1. She could change her mind at any time, but she said she doesn't think she will. Her plan is to take medication prescribed by her doctor and die in her bedroom in Portland, Oregon, one of five states in the USA with legal protections for terminally-ill patients who want to end their suffering.

In the past few weeks, however, Maynard has been living.
"The Canyon was breathtakingly beautiful, and I was able to enjoy my time with the two things I love most: my family and nature," she wrote on October 24 on her blog. The photos she posted show her kissing her husband, hiding behind her mother and posing for a family portrait.
"Sadly, it is impossible to forget my cancer," she wrote.
The morning after she visited the Grand Canyon, she said she was hit by her worst seizure to date, temporarily leaving her unable to speak.

"The seizure was a harsh reminder that my symptoms continue to worsen as the tumour runs its course," she wrote. That's why she said she has been using her final days to advocate for death-with-dignity laws. "My dream is that every terminally ill American has access to the choice to die on their own terms with dignity."
Since Maynard made her decision, she has volunteered for Compassion & Choices, a nonprofit advocacy organisation for the terminally ill. She also launched the Brittany Maynard Fund to fight for death-with-dignity laws in other states.

"I didn't launch this campaign because I wanted attention; in fact, it's hard for me to process it all," she wrote. "I did this because I want to see a world where everyone has access to death with dignity, as I have had. My journey is easier because of this choice."
At the time of her diagnosis, Maynard was living in San Francisco with her husband, Dan Diaz, 43. Doctors prescribed full brain radiation. She looked at the side effects and alternative treatments. She even looked at hospice care.
"After months of research, my family and I reached a heartbreaking conclusion," she wrote in an op-ed for CNN. "There is no treatment that would save my life, and the recommended treatments would have destroyed the time I had left."
So she chose doctor-assisted death.
However, California, like most states, does not have a law allowing terminal patients to end their lives. So she and her family relocated to Oregon, where she qualified for doctor-assisted suicide.
It's Maynard's choice. However, some opponents of physician-assisted suicide have expressed moral and religions concerns. Others worry that patients who are depressed might use such laws to end their mental suffering instead. Then there are those who argue that her death is being exploited by advocates of the cause.
"Assisted suicide movement leaders are always on the lookout for attractive cases to further their cause, and clearly believe they have one in Maynard because of her youth, beauty, and the tragedy of her condition," Wesley J. Smith, a senior fellow with the the Discovery Institute's Center on Human Exceptionalism, wrote for the National Review Online.
Maynard responded to another opponent on her blog, saying, "The day is my choice, I have the right to change my mind at any time, it is my right."
She added: "Because of the incredible reaction, something monumental has started to happen. Last week alone, lawmakers in Connecticut and New Jersey came forward in support of [death-with-dignity] bills, and promised to put them back in the spotlight. I won't live to see the DwD movement reach critical mass, but I call on you to carry it forward."
Maynard told CBS that although she's upset she won't have children, she knows her work matters.
"Through sharing my story, I've realised there's a bit of a legacy I'm creating this way and I'm not ashamed of that," she said. "I'm not ashamed to attach my name to what I think is a right that should belong to all terminally-ill Americans."


Iguaca! Iguaca! the parrots called as they looked for deep nesting holes under the tall trees. Down below, waves from the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean washed the island's white-sand beaches. Delicate orchids and wide-spreading ferns, tiny tree frogs, kapok trees bursting with seedpods, and big, scary iguanas covered the land.


Allerød is where I grew up.
Now that I have to walk a daily trip, I had the chance to visit some places, that I have not been in years. On one walk we passed my old school, took some of the routes that I used to take frequently and saw places that have changed and others that have remained the same.
I was so lucky with the weather. Many told me, that there has not been good days like this since my last visit in June. I think out of the two weeks I was there, we only had one bad day. Otherwise it was mostly warm and sunny. The day before I left, the fall really took over.
