| Hawaii residents rue paradise built with 'lava discount' Posted: 08 May 2018 03:53 PM PDT  By Terray Sylvester and Jolyn Rosa PAHOA, Hawaii/HONOLULU (Reuters) - Six days before Kilauea began erupting on Hawaii's Big Island, residents living under one of the world's most active volcanoes attended a community forum on preparing for emergencies. It was prompted in part by a mistaken alert in January that North Korea had launched a ballistic missile attack on Hawaii, which sent residents and tourists scrambling for shelter across the U.S. Pacific island state. Living in paradise comes with risks for the mostly retired residents in communities around Kilauea, who must also cope with the occasional hurricane - and the rumbling volcano proved the most damaging.

| 104-year-old Australian scientist dies after flying to Switzerland to end his life Posted: 10 May 2018 05:55 AM PDT  Australia's oldest scientist has died after flying to Switzerland to end his life by assisted suicide. Despite not having a terminal illness, David Goodall, who was 104, believed his quality of life had deteriorated and he secured a fast-track appointment with an assisted dying agency in Basel, reigniting the end-of-life debate. An assisted suicide group confirmed this afternoon the scientist had passed away and doctors told MailOnline his last words were: "This is taking an awful long time." Prof Goodall's family were at his bedside when he flicked a switch to send the lethal injection coursing round his body. Beethoven's Ode to Joy played as his relatives wept and the world-renowned ecologist closed his eyes and died within two minutes. Prof Goodall with Carol O'Neill of Exit International, which advocates for voluntary euthanasia Credit: Exit International/GoFundMe The 104-year-old was meant to turn a wheel to release the Nembutal, but when he couldn't do it, doctors replaced it with a switch. This meant he had to be asked mandatory questions for a second time, including his name, his date of birth, why he was at the clinic and what he understood would happen to him, to which he replied: "'I hope my heart stops," according to MailOnline. Talking to ABC on his 104th birthday in April, the ecologist said: "I greatly regret having reached that age. "I'm not happy. I want to die. It's not sad particularly. What is sad is if one is prevented. "My feeling is that an old person like myself should have full citizenship rights including the right of assisted suicide." Prof Goodall made headlines in 2016 when his university tried to force him from his role on the grounds that, at the age of 102, he was no longer fit to be on campus. Assisted suicide is illegal in most countries around the world and was banned in Australia until the state of Victoria became the first to legalise the practice last year. But that legislation, which takes effect from June 2019, only applies to terminally ill patients of sound mind and a life expectancy of less than six months. At the age of 104, David Goodall said he was ready to die despite not having a terminal illness Credit: Exit International/AFP Other states in Australia have debated euthanasia in the past, but the proposals have always been defeated, mostly recently in New South Wales state last year. Exit International, which helped Mr Goodall make the trip, said a the beginning of the month it was unjust that one of Australia's "oldest and most prominent citizens should be forced to travel to the other side of the world to die with dignity". Assisted Dying "A peaceful, dignified death is the entitlement of all who want it. And a person should not be forced to leave home to achieve it," it said on its website. The group then launched a GoFundMe campaign to get plane tickets for Goodall and his helper upgraded to business class from economy. Prof Goodall, an honorary research associate at Perth's Edith Cowan University, fought attempts to banish him from the campus two years ago. After an uproar and support from scientists globally, the decision was reversed. He produced dozens of research papers and until recently continued to review and edit for different ecology journals.

| Meghan Markle gets her very own waxwork and it's pretty uncanny tbh Posted: 09 May 2018 03:08 AM PDT  You have to be pretty important to get your own waxwork figure. But, sometimes, just sometimes, they end up looking creepy as hell. Looking at you, Melania Trump. SEE ALSO: How guests will be expected to behave at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding Just days before Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tie the knot, Madame Tussauds London has jumped on the royal nuptials bandwagon and unveiled a waxwork of Markle. And, fortunately for Markle, the waxwork is a true likeness. Not creepy, either! The wax version of Meghan is now standing beside her betrothed, Prince Harry, who already had his own waxwork. Oh, and just in case Harry was feeling left out, fear ye not. His waxwork — created to celebrate his 30th birthday in 2014 — has been spruced up with the addition of a beard. That is one splendid beard.Image: madame tussaudsMeghan's waxwork is kitted out in the outfit she sported on the day the engagement was announced back in November 2017. She's wearing the green P.A.R.O.S.H. dress — which sold out after Markle wore it during Harry and Meghan's TV interview — and a replica of her engagement ring, which Harry designed. Yep, definitely quite uncanny.Image: madame tussaudsMadame Tussauds have placed the royal couple in front of a 15-foot-wide video screen that lets guests change the backdrop depending on how they'd like to hang with Hazza and Megs. So, if royal fanatics want to picture what the pair will look like while cutting the cake, or unwinding on their honeymoon, they can select those backdrops and wonder no more. Just look at all that regal wax.Image: madame tussaudsCongrats to the waxwork bride and groom! Meghan's waxwork is open to the public from 19 May, and tickets are available now online .

| Kenyan rose-farm dam bursts, 'sea of water' kills 47 Posted: 10 May 2018 08:34 AM PDT  By Thomas Mukoya SOLAI, Kenya (Reuters) - A dam on a commercial flower farm in Kenya's Rift Valley burst after weeks of torrential rain, unleashing a "sea of water" that careered down a hillside and smashed into two villages, killing at least 47 people. The walls of the reservoir, on top of a hill in Nakuru county, 190 km (120 miles) northwest of Nairobi, gave way late on Wednesday as nearby residents were sitting down to evening meals. Kenya is one of the largest suppliers of cut flowers to Europe, and roses from the 3,500-acre Solai farm are exported to the Netherlands and Germany, according to Optimal Connection, its Netherlands-based handling agent.

| What Limits Can Your Landlord Put on Gun Possession? Posted: 09 May 2018 10:44 AM PDT ![What Limits Can Your Landlord Put on Gun Possession?]( "What Limits Can Your Landlord Put on Gun Possession?") Gun control has been a hot topic of debate in the U.S. for decades, though it recently received renewed fervor following the school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, on Feb. 14, where 17 people were killed and 17 more were wounded. The tragedy sparked heated debate on both sides -- while some are calling for stricter laws regarding gun ownership, others fear such laws will take away their right to bear arms. For tenants in apartments or rental homes, depending on the state you live in, your landlord may have the ability to restrict gun ownership.
