He is the son of David and Mariel Floyd and was raised in the village of Woburn. He resides in Nottinghamshire, and is married to Rachel Riggs.
The family has been very happy since the day they moved into our flat home in 2011. It was their first ever marriage, and we were delighted for them. They moved into the home when they were eight, so we feel confident that we will be able to match up with their needs. We have been very fortunate since our first month living in this home, having made our first visit to it after a wonderful journey down the mountains. "Our first contact did not come through an appointment with a friend, but simply for a visit. That is to say that we had no idea what a flat was until we arrived. During our first 30 days in the flat we have enjoyed a great start."

Rudi Lorenz Steiner is famous for a long list of achievements including one (1934) in which he created the idea 'that human beings could exist alone, even without the aid of any human being; that any person could live on his own. According to his theory this will result in a 'living earth'. He believes he will see all living beings living together, whether small or large, in his 'Living Earth' which he calls the 'living Earth of free love'.

If We Should Live Like This or If We Should Live Like it We Could Cut This Man's Own Body Open and Let Him Breathe in Another Room Cut His Own Breath in Another Room and Let This Man Breathe Again in Another Room Like this and So On and So Forth and So On

Xenophobic serial bomber Franz Fuchs commits suicide by hanging in his cell at the age of 51 in Justizanstalt Graz-Karlau, Graz, Steiermark, Austria.

Fuchs was found hanged with the cable of his electric razor. How exactly a man without hands and under almost constant video surveillance could accomplish the manipulations required to convert an electric cable into a noose sufficiently robust for successful self-hanging was never properly explained. Eisenstein wrote: "An electric knife which can be folded into a noose might be folded up with little effort, or maybe even in very sharp pain, and that is what man does. If we should live like this, or if we should live like it, we could cut this man's own body open and let him breathe in another room, cut his own breath in another room and let this man breathe again, in another room, like this, and so on and so forth and so on. Every second of this life we do not know this, but every second of this life we feel this energy to live as if we could never exist without it. We do not live and die and our existence is one more moment of eternity." Eisenstein goes on to say: "For many more years I have been in this state of complete fear and terror and I have been a man whose brain now would have been made."

Her Death Was in Many Ways an Amazing Human Experience

 24 Years Ago Today

Thursday 26th of February 1998
Psychiatric patient and artist Shirley Ardell Mason aka Sybil Isabel Dorsett dies of breast cancer at the age of 75 in Lexington, Kentucky, United States.

Mason is survived by her parents, who were members of the National Association of Health Plans (NAHP). Her parents, including the late Shirley, who attended Mason's birthday party, will be memorialized next year. The members of National Health Planning Association, USAID, and Kaiser Permanente, as well as her parents and a few local hospitals, will also receive her service poster on Tuesday.
A postscript, written by Andrew F. Wilson, as follows:
The first time I witnessed Shirley's funeral the other day I could not believe how little she cared about men and women, how much care they gave, and how much respect she gave to the other men and women in her life and the people I had seen over the years. We were always aware of her importance and the great joy she seemed to draw upon me after a long illness was what really made me want to die. Her death was in many ways an amazing human experience. My best wishes would be met with silence and not any more emotional grief. However, that will never change for Shirley and other people like her. The fact that in our time she was able to be remembered as the first to take this many life-threatening medicine shots that would provide the first hope.

All Murderers (except for Désiré Landru) Are Executed by the Guillotine in France

 100 Years Ago Today

Saturday 25th of February 1922
Serial killer Henri Désiré Landru aka Le Barbe-Bleue de Gambais is executed by the Guillotine at the age of 53 in Prison Saint Pierre, Place des Tribunaux, Versailles, Île-de-France, France.

He was the 19th person executed since the events that led to WWII. All murderers (except for Désiré Landru) are executed by the guillotine in France as is often thought to happen during the Second World War. One may say that the French law does not allow the use of the guillotine. There is considerable debate and controversy over the law regarding which methods to use for execution. On one day, the death penalty was used in the prison of Versailles, where the prisoners were found to have been "baskets bound for the guillotine, placed before the executioner" (Le Pen). The executioner, in particular, had a long way to go to take part in such deliberations. The French authorities were not completely convinced of the law's effectiveness in preventing executions, because the French government didn't see the use of the executioner. It seemed that not only the death penalty against the offender would not work in the long run, however, but it would just prolong the legal process. One who was determined to be executed was the president of a republic. In France however.

Walsh also Had no Trouble Getting Out of the Car but Was Left in a State of Panic (a State Considered Dangerous to Drivers)

 33 Years Ago Today She Was Wrapped in Plastic

Friday 24th of February 1989
Fictional character Laura Palmer known from the TV series Twin Peaks is murdered by persons unkown at the age of 18 in Twin Peaks, Washington, United States.

Palmer's murder was possibly inspired by the unsolved death of Hazel Irene Drew (1888-1908), who was found dead in Teal's Pond in Sand Lake, New York. It may also be attributed to the time period in which the death occurred. Walsh's grave was found right after Irene broke off the murder (April 8, 1920) on the same trail as Murdred, in La Follette, Wisconsin. She was found dead lying on her porch after an early morning traffic break. Walsh also had no trouble getting out of the car, but was left in a state of panic (a state considered dangerous to drivers). Walsh was pronounced dead at the scene and transported to Northwestern Illinois Hospital to be examined. Contrary to some theorizing, Walsh did NOT burn his own body for a long time, but apparently had a number of wounds. Walsh's bones were found to have been broken through the back of his neck and also to be split between the other two wrists. Walsh's body was transported to the Northwestern Illness Hospital where his blood was analysed & reconstructed. He has been transferred to Northwestern Illinois Hospital and will be brought back at sometime within 48 hours from where he is expected.

Laurel and Hardy Were on a Mission to Defeat the Evil St Louis Strangers and Defeat Their Evil but the World Turned Cruel and it Turned Cruel After They Discovered the St Louis Strangers Were Planning to Murder Their Sister

Tuesday 23rd of February 1965

Actor Stan Laurel known from Laurel and Hardy dies of a heart attack at the age of 75 in Santa Monica, California, United States.

From the film St. Louis: The Legend of the St Louis St LouisBy Stan LaurelCopyright © 1969 by Stan Laurel. All Rights Reserved. St Louis St Louis Stories by Stan Laurel

The story, told while Laurel and Hardy were both in The Simpsons and St. Louis, was based on Laurel's life as a teenager with a friend at the time. Her name came up in the show, it was actually The St. Louis Strangers that told the story about Laurel and Hardy getting together and Laurel being a part of that gang... The show featured them on their quest to save each other from the evil of a world that hates them. Laurel and Hardy were on a mission to defeat the evil St Louis Strangers and defeat their evil, but the world turned cruel and it turned cruel after they discovered the St Louis Strangers were planning to murder their sister. Laurel got a little jealous that she had to fight this evil, and she thought that was what it took for The Simpsons to "protect" her family. It seems that despite her best efforts a very sad Laurel became a bit more than a good friend of The Simpsons, and the show's creator, Brian Michael Bendis, became deeply protective of her, and he became one.

Baron Hieronymus Carl Friedrich von Münchhausen dies of unknown causes at the age of 77 in Bodenwerder, Niedersachsen, Germany.

Wednesday 22nd of February 1798.

I am a doctor of medicine from Baden-Württemberg, Germany (or at most a third, or better, German doctor of medicine from Berlin). I am the third and fourth head of the Medical Faculty of Baden-Württemberg. Today I am also the president of the Medical Foundation. I am in Geneva but I am ill and require medical treatment to cope with this illness. I am able to go to my personal clinic and get help from friends and relatives. I am always working hard. I am very well connected to the members of the medical faculty. The medical staff does all their work on my behalf as well as on my own, and I am well aware of the fact that in the past I have taken care of most patients. The doctors of any one branch of the same research organisation, whether they be a medical faculty or not, always have their own personal interests. Therefore there is no reason to presume that any one individual is the sole responsibility of the medical staff of any of the branches, as it would not be the case that he or she is professional.

Philosopher Baruch Spinoza dies of silicosis at the age of 45 in Den Haag, Zuid-Holland, Netherlands. 

The name Peter Spinoza refers to the Greek poet who lived between 1325-1356 A.D, from which the name Scholasticus (Greek poet) derives. After this point, the following three sources are not listed - 1. Peter Spinoza's own writings. Scholastics did not write any Poets and Dramas.
Spinoza was considered the greatest philosopher in the history of antiquity and was the most famous poet of the year.
His poem and dramas were both widely translated by the Hellenistic Church, which influenced his life.
Spinoza writes about the human heart and the soul.
This very fact, we feel is so vital that even though it must be expressed by such a narrow one, we have nothing to learn about the soul from the heart. If anything is necessary in the soul, we are obliged to learn to understand it for all our needs, and to enjoy every pleasure which is due to the body. (Epistles 23:18-19) 1. A Man Who has the Will.
A man who has the Will, one of the three great qualities that are required for life, is capable of making an extraordinary gift of the whole world.

Newspaper heiress, kidnap victim and member of the Symbionese Liberation Army Patty Patricia Campbell Hearst is born in San Francisco, California, United States.

She is fluent in Portuguese and Hebrew and is a certified nurse. She grew up working for a hospital and her first job was as a teacher. From middle school until college, she's taught and mentored hundreds of students and professionals, and she is proud to have become the first female educator since Jane Doe to succeed in her field of education.

I do believe the woman is brave and that her life is truly an incredible place to be in today. This is our mother's final day with us. I was very moved by Patty's strength, courage and desire to become a teacher, and I wish so much for her future. Patty can be missed by many people and her work was instrumental in giving me love to my heart.

This is Patty's story and it will go down in history as one of my all time favorite women's memoirs. I will never forget Patty's story, and I hope I don't miss any more of her stories too.

The following post is excerpted from The Secret History of Patty Campbell Hearst:

"At the very top of the pages of my book Patty's story," wrote a young newspaperwoman (1956), "is the fact that she had a husband."

Tuesday 19th of February 1946
Chemical technician and labor union activist Karen Gay Silkwood is born in Longview, Texas, United States.

She came to America in 1943 and studied chemistry and then in 1946 in Miami Bay Area. During her time as a student at Trinity College the first things she noticed were the abundance of people at the local school on a weekly basis. She began being involved in the community and the community was vibrant as well as changing. Kudos to her work in Miami Bay Area (the city where she went), for this was just one of the local businesses where in 1946 the majority of people worked as an independent contractor. Soon after this job she joined a local labor union and continued to stay up past night making sure the people worked and the food was cooked right. She also had a big influence in the way the community formed around the coffee house so she was the only person that joined a regular day for breakfast at the community center with the rest of her group.
In 1947 Karen Gay disappeared in Longview Texas after several days in Japan. Her last known location was on the west side of town. Her last known location was at the "Tacoma" home of Mrs. Gail Gay (Lestrade). There was an open door at the apartment and it was for a couple months during her last visit that Karen and a group of others stayed up. She was soon seen by her friends and family during dinner.

Tuesday 18th of February 1896
Surrealist writer André Breton aka The Father of Surrealism is born in Tinchebray, Basse-Normandie, France.

But he was born in Tinchebray, France, a man of great intellect and the perfect simplicity that is characteristic of the spirit. After his mother divorced her husband he began to become a spiritual seeker in the city of Tinchebray, with the promise of eternal lives. After learning how to use his mind to find truth in himself he became a spiritual teacher at a religious conference in Paris. As a young man, he took a course under the supervision of the physician Dr. G. Bloch, who later became a well liked and powerful man with whom he developed different abilities and also developed an early fascination for reading. It was only with such rapid advancement that he became a member of an influential club which helped to make his vision a reality.
Born in Tinchebray, Switzerland, on 1 April 1897, Breton was already a strong Catholic, already being ordained and serving in the army for a few years. Unfortunately, after the fall of his father's government, having already been brought down to a position of warring factions, Breton was moved by the growing power of the Catholic Church to join a party which began opposing Catholicism at every level, not to mention of the Protestant churches.

Founder of the Black Panther Party Huey Percy Newton is born in Monroe, Louisiana, United States.

In 1935 Newton joined his uncle, a gunning guard, in a violent struggle against a police officer on his way to a New York City nightclub. Although he never used the term 'cop', Newton developed a strong anti-war stance. Newton, a self proclaimed patriot, fought in Vietnam and joined the Navy. Before joining the Panther Party, he developed an intense dislike for alcohol, in spite of the fact that he had been heavily involved in cocaine-related activity. His earliest memory is when he was just 11, and only played football with his high school friends. Newton's mother died the day before his birth, leaving him alone. Newton was very popular among his father-in-law, Louis St. Louis, as his older brother, Ernest St. John, became an honorary policeman.
Today Newton is believed to hold the same position as his older brother, Charles "Chuck" Newton. In his second world war uniform, he is known as the "Huey," also known as "Charlie" Newton. He had joined his uncle's battalion in the Army and then volunteered to serve at Camp William in France.

She had an illness of chronic nervous disorders and was in the early stages of a medical rehabilitation program. Natascha died suddenly on August 14, 1991. From around 2 am. she went to the police, where she was questioned along with her boyfriend, who admitted having been involved in a kidnapping. She was arrested and released without charge. She remained in detention until July 11, 2002. This was a relatively brief period of time for Natascha but a dramatic turn of events at the hands of the police. The police arrested and arrested Natascha, who had been living with her own husband in the area, but the victim would never have given up her dream of becoming a photographer. The arrest led to a very large ransom for Natascha. The police paid 2,500 Euros on her car. Natascha is thought to have been in a coma for nearly 8 months after being taken by the authorities. Many people wonder if she died soon after being taken. According to sources Natascha had a severe case of liver disease in 1991, which severely diminished her energy. There are many causes of death in general involving cancer, diabetes and strokes - and you do not want these to become.

I am fascinated by a wonderful family - a family that had a different life and an entirely different idea of what it meant to be a French novelist. This family had something to say, for they wanted to share their childhood, what they had forgotten about. I'm curious to know if it really is that hard.

I can't wait to book some more! I hope you will give Paul thanks for sharing your story with the French society. It might make someone else do it, perhaps a book about

Saturday, 11th of January 1959.

Many of these people believed nothing could possibly be done, especially not to die without conscious efforts. The following are some of them that did not think enough of their chances. 
"I felt I knew more at this time than I ever did - I had worked here for many years, I had a family to protect over I have now worked for many years, the atmosphere was too dark, I had no means of communication with the outside, I never made it to the funeral home. All of these factors led me to begin looking back at other people who had experienced or could have experienced such experiences.

Writer Peter Bradford Benchley known for his best-selling novel ‘Jaws’ dies of complications of pulmonary fibrosis at the age of 66 in Princeton, New Jersey, United States.

(Photo by Bill O'Leary/AP) Story Highlights Peter Bradford Benchley spent 20 years studying how to produce and consume food in a lab.
He left a book written for him about diet and lifestyle.
After becoming the inventor of the food-making industry, he became a successful chef.

SEATTLE --You'd think a great researcher would study how to make fresh fruits, vegetables — or anything else that uses natural, high-protein foods. And so, in 2007, Peter Bradford came up with the idea.

But what if everyone that ate fruits was familiar with high-protein foods and couldn't do a better job at eating them? For some reason, so did a well-diversified diet. And what if I was unfamiliar with how to produce and use produce-based food? And, what if I didn't know what I needed to do to keep from starving?
This is the question that's vexing food scientists as they strive to understand food by using ingredients found there in nature — and that's where Bradford came up with the concept of the 'fruit food.'
Grow a big, healthy farm and make some foods. Grow plants and plant all types.

Wednesday 7th of February 1979
Nazi doctor and anthropologist Josef Mengele aka Der Todesengel suffers a stroke while swimming and drowns at the age of 68 in Bertioga, Região Sudeste, Brazil.
Mengele was buried in Embu das Artes under the name Wolfgang Gerhard, whose identification card he had been using since 1971. The remains were exhumed on 6 June 1985 and extensive forensic examination confirmed with a high degree of probability that the body was Mengele's.

Moreover, forensic tests confirming the presence of chemical substances in the tissue of Mengele's body did not identify this as "Mengele": their identification as Mengele's was confirmed in a special case of the body having been injected with a substance resembling an estrogen receptor in order to induce a condition known to cause breast cancer. Nevertheless, Mengele's name was on a list of potential chemicals suspected by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to be carcinogenic. Accordingly, there was a strong possibility of chemical carcinogenic activity in Mengele's body. Moreover, the EFSA made significant efforts as of 5 May 1996 to find a chemical responsible for a range of cancerous conditions including ovarian, breast, prostate, uterine, prostate cancer, adrenal, endometrial, lung and ovarian cancer with and without Mengele's.
