Seems even Beverley Hills can’t guarantee that there is an awareness and support when someone can no longer live safely by themselves.

Elizabeth Linda Paterson was an old lady ,she was blind,and could barely walk . Her only contact with the outside world was a food delivery package once a week.She lived in a condominium containing  36 other  units .

The smell probably got too much and concerned residents called on outside agencies to intervene.The Fire Brigade visited and found her condo in an awful state ,Elizabeth was living in one room at the back.There was discarded waste including human waste everywhere.It was a health hazard and attracting all sorts of vermin.

Elizabeth was taken to hospital,where she later died.

The property itself, as her Estate,is being sued by local authorities and is regarded as a “Public Hazard” and permission and the cost of the clean up will have to come from her estate as no other estate members have come forward

A sad end to a human being in this day and age to be classed as a “Public Hazard”.I suppose it could happen anywhere.

Some Holywood person has won a modelling competition and I congratulate them.

I will not go into details but they are about twenty and (if you admire striking blondes) they are absolutely stunning.They are what is commonly known as trans, whether this means they are transitioning to one sex or wish to express both sexes or indeed a third sex I am not sure.

Your view on that question matters if you have a view,most just choose to be themselves and get on with their lives.Which I assume is what this person is doing.

It doesn’t matter, the competition’s rules put them at the top of a beauty contest and they can celebrate the fact.

However , it is one form of beauty,one that most people cannot aspire to, because one size does not fit all.Which surely is the point.

One size does not fit all,very few people can be models and clothes look good on everyone no matter their shape,sexual orientation or whatever they believe in.

So rest easy, the person won, but we are all winners in our own way.We may not fit Hollywood’s beauty criteria but then again we don’t come from Hollywood.Why should we?

So be confident in yourself, no matter what.I worry that this narrow definition of beauty will do to this person in the future,or what steps they will take to enjoy their life.I wish them the best ,but not the power to influence others who can never reach this definition of “beauty”.

It seems even the dead aren’t safe from climate change.

The Ancient Egyptians had to put up with tomb robbers and now their  tombs and the  artefacts  wihin them have to recorded and preserved before they are destroyed by flood waters

Archaeologists found a previously unknown 3000 year old tomb while doing a survey and clearing debris to prevent damage caused by heavy downpours which  have caused flash flooding and which potentially  will  endanger the tombs already identified,including ancient paintings on their walls.

Researchers are working on understanding the locations of the tombs and also their reuse for later burials.The area they are working in is particularly interesting as the location was used by less high profile Egyptians  such as administrators and those who worked for the Pharohs

However, they are subject to a strict deadline as the flash floods are  a constant threat and time is of the essence to ensure the information relating to the tombs can be preserved.

This headline puzzles me on many fronts.First of all is CryptoCurrency genuine and does it work?

Secondly .Ben Delo ,a Sheffield Lad who is currently living in Hong Kong but is keen to move back to the UK to continue his support for Reform and help it form a Government by making British Politics a fair and level playing field.Why having left the UK is he so keen to nominate and elect a Prime Minister,can’t he just vote like the rest of us?

Mr Delo admitted  a Money Laundering breach in the United States in 2022 at  his Bitmex Crypto Trading Platform which Donal Trump pardoned him for in 2025.So what role does Crypto pay in money laundering and how serious was it?Was there any possibility of him going to jail if he had visited the United States before he was pardoned?

The Telegraph Newspaper allowed Mr Delo to write an article in its’ paper which again gives this man a profile where he is raised above our heads and allowed to pontificate.Why?

What exactly can you buy with Crypto Currency?

Thanks to Richard Wheeler at BbC News Online for the Headline.

I believe that the transition from life to death where humanly possible should be respectful, free of pain and worry and to use an often used word “humane”. Although,along with everyone else I do feel that humanity is not always kind

This resurrected Bill from last year did not achieve this respectful transition and thankfully has been defeated after having been given a serious drilling down last year by the House of Lords.

It does concern me that those who pushed the bill were hell bent on getting the “legislation” in place no matter what the cost.

To me the cost of  the ill thought out bill would have been  the deaths of people who may have not had the choice that  they thought they were having,or perhaps we’re in no position to make a choice at all.

I agree wholeheartedly that there needs to be a recognition that “being put to sleep” is not just for very sick animals ,but for everyone to sleep soundly ,we need to be confident that it is not a bill of convenience.Every case is unique,can the Law or indeed Politicians  deal with that?

This is very much a David versus Goliath story involving rare wildlife  originally from Madagascar ending up in Bangladesh eventually being  rescued from the Wildlife Trade  and placed in a Bangladeshi Safari Park.

Then in 2025  with the help of a security guard,the lemurs were  again stolen and transported and traded in India,finally ending up in the Private Zoo Collection of Mukesh Ambani one of Asia’s richest  men and a close friend of The Indian Prime Minister Modi.

The zoo called Vantara is a philanthropic project by the Ambani family,but the fact  remains that the animals who were featured on the zoo’s social media are likely to be the stolen Lemurs.

Bangladesh has asked Interpol to get involved and have said that they can identify the animals by their D.N.A.

Ventura zoo has come under scrutiny from organisations concerned with animal trafficking in both Europe and further afield, however the Zoo has  firmly denied  any such involvement.
