How To Recover From Extreme Burnout (Adrenal Fatigue, Exhaustion)

Are you currently experiencing extreme burnout? Have you been googling things like “adrenal fatigue”, “how to rest”, and “extreme tiredness”?

Whether you’re experiencing burnout from a place of workaholism-induced fatigue, situational depression, or a chronic (i.e. multi-year) lack of rest, this article will go into the twelve things that you can do to recover from your burnout faster than you thought possible.

My Extreme Burnout Experience

For the first three years of starting up my business, I barely took a day off. And I really mean barely. Even saying barely feels generous.

My best guess is that within my first three years of writing online, I may have had a total of ten days where I actually did zero work.

extreme burnout
First year of my business. Here I am working on my laptop while on vacation.

And while I feel so grateful to have the kind of job where I wouldn’t want to take many days off from work, and a job where the time flexibility is so great that I am able to chip away at it on a daily basis, ultimately I am not a robot. Eventually my plans of constant productivity came crashing down around me.

Throughout the majority of my third year in business I had a sense of feeling tired but also wired. It felt like my body wanted to take a ten hour sleep but I couldn’t because I had just consumed six cups of coffee. Which was strange because I don’t drink tea, coffee, or caffeine in any form. Nevertheless, this underlying message from my cells screaming out for rest went unheeded.

Then, one day, my body demanded that I pay attention…

It was a Wednesday morning that I woke up from an unusually long sleep (a full eight hours – gasp!) still feeling exhausted.

My body felt heavy… so heavy that I felt like I had woken up three times heavier than I had been when I went to sleep.

My brain felt foggy and exhausted. Stringing a complete sentence together was challenging.

The idea of getting out of bed to make myself breakfast felt impossible.

I felt so lifeless that I thought about calling an ambulance. I didn’t know what was wrong with me. I felt emergency-room tired.

I called up one of my closest friends who I knew had experienced multiple forms of extreme burnout and fatigue over the previous years and asked her opinion of what was happening to me.

Her advice was a blur… but I remember her saying things like “adrenal fatigue”, “burnout”, and “you’re probably going to have to become your own doctor over the next few months.”

She was right. Regardless of what you label this burnout phase as (adrenal fatigue, burnout, exhaustion, etc.), I became my own doctor for the following couple of months and earned my way back to health.

Over the following two weeks I subjected myself to a battery of tests from doctors, naturopaths, and other healers… and nothing showed up. My blood work was pristine. I didn’t have mono. I wasn’t depressed. I was just… exhausted.

The best advice that I got from my doctor was to take some time off for a while. And while rest and relaxation is a sound solution for most ailments, I knew that I wanted to do more to be proactive in my recovery.

Through my rounds of experimentation I tried supplements, lifestyle changes, and a bunch of fringe hippy stuff. Throughout it all, I noticed what moved the needle for me and what didn’t.

Without further ado, here are the twelve highest leverage things that I did to recover from my bout of extreme burnout.

12 Steps To Fully Recover From Extreme Burnout Or Fatigue

morning routine, extreme burnout

I saw two naturopaths and one doctor that told me that it would likely take me anywhere from 6-12 months to fully recover from my state of fatigue. By adhering to the following protocol, I noticed a significant uptick in my energy levels within 2-3 weeks, and felt almost 100% in under two months.

1. Decide to make your health your number one priority

I believe that illnesses are what happen to our bodies when we’ve been ignoring their messages for too long.

When you reach a point of extreme burnout, you’re there because you’ve been overriding your body’s message to slow down and rest for too long. It sees no other way than to stop you dead in your tracks and make you listen.

It is imperative that you make the conscious decision that you are going to listen to your body, and make your health your number one priority from now on. Not just until you feel a bit better so that you can get back to your ‘normal’ life… but literally from now on.

This is a wake up call. It’s time for you to create some fundamental shifts in your life that will see you honouring your health more on a daily basis. No more taking your health for granted… it’s time for a real change.

2. Take an actual break to reset your nervous system

There are likely a handful of things in your life that you’ve been engaging in that have been draining your metaphorical batteries for a while now. In order to earn your way back to a clean bill of health, you must begin by taking a proper break from the things that have been exhausting you.

Take a two week break from work. Start saying no to social events that drain you. Pass off your least favourite responsibilities to someone else for a while.

Yes, people will be disappointed with you. But your health comes first. Full stop.

3. Reach out for help

If you’ve reached a place of full on burnout, it’s highly likely that you’ve been shouldering too much for a long time.

Do you find it difficult to ask for help? Do you feel like no one has your back? Do you live by the moniker ‘If you want something done right, do it yourself’?

Stop trying to do life on your own.

feeling your feelings, sexual addiction, sex addiction, extreme burnout

Ask your friends for support. Tell your family members or close confidants that you’re struggling.

Let people in. There is probably a flood of people who would want to help you with your situation, if they only knew how much you needed their help.

We are a social species. We need each other to thrive. You are no exception.

Reach out to a handful of people and ask for their help. Start now.

4. Build a team of healers to help you on your journey

It took more than one factor to get you to this place of burnout, and it’s likely going to take more than one form of treatment to help you get better.

On my personal journey, I visited a medical doctor, two naturopaths, a registered massage therapist, an acupuncturist, an energy healer, and a therapist. I made healing my full time job… and I knew that having a dedicated team of healers around me would expedite my process.

While I’m not guaranteeing you’ll need more than a simple visit to your doctor to get the clarity that you’re looking for, it never hurts to get multiple opinions and tests done, just to rule out various health factors.

Healing your physical body from extreme burnout is a war of attrition, not a war of annihilation. Put in another way, lots of little things are going to add up to helping you to heal, more likely than it is that you’ll find one magic bullet to heal you right away (as nice as that would be).

So enlist help. Yes, friends and family… but also enlist the aid of people who help others heal professionally.

5. Regularly engage in slow, gentle forms of exercise

The health benefits of exercise are innumerable… but when you’re in a phase of extreme burnout it can be challenging to get out of bed, let alone get yourself to the gym to have a personal trainer kick your butt around the room for a full hour.

When it comes to getting your blood flowing during your burnout recovery, ease is the name of the game.

terrifying, point of life, extreme burnout
Mmmm… you might want to try something more relaxing than this.

Engage in exercise for short periods of time, without pushing yourself too hard.

Go for slow walks away from traffic noise. Stretch for a few minutes on the ground in your living room. Go for a walk in the forest with a friend. Practice yoga from home. Dance around your home to a song that you like. Try one of these three lazy workouts.

If you find yourself even more tired the day after your workout, you may have been pushing a bit too hard. Whatever form of exercise you engage in, make sure you aren’t overly exerting yourself.

6. Make room for play and laughter in your life

Laughter is like an instant vacation.

If you’re chronically waking up and barely able to function, life can seem pretty unmanageable and certainly not very funny.

But it’s important to do whatever you can to prioritize laughter and play in your life.

Watch stand up comedy (live, or online). Invite your most hilarious friends over for breakfast. Go see professional improvisational comics do their thing.

Whatever it is that tends to tickle your funny bone, put it on your calendar and make it happen.

7. Question and re-prioritize your values

Whatever millions of little decisions that led you to your particular form of burnout, the root cause of you having gotten there is most likely, at least in part, screwy values.

As an example, if you value financial gain over your health, sooner or later it’s going to bite you on the ass.

Take a moment to sit with the question “What have I been valuing that has led me to this place of extreme burnout?”

If you want to read more on the topic of prioritizing healthy values for your life, I strongly recommend reading The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A F*ck by Mark Manson. The title makes it sound like a cutesy pop-psychology book, but really it’s just an epic primer on discovering and prioritizing durable, healthy core values.

8. Eat small meals frequently to avoid sugar spikes

During your burnout recovery, you want to ensure that you’re being as gentle with your blood sugar levels as possible.

The worst thing you could do is consume two or three massive, overly processed meals per day. The best thing you can do is eat four to six small, nutrient dense meals per day. More on this in the next two points.

9. Eat these five foods more often

On top of a generally healthy, nutrient-dense palate of foods, throughout my research I found a handful of foods that contributed to burnout recovery the best.

– Pasteur raised egg yolks

Organic, grass-fed bone broth

– Avocado / organic avocado oil

Organic pumpkin seeds

Flax seeds / flax seed oil

Buy organic whenever possible (for the above five foods, and what you eat in general).

And for an example of what an overall healthy meal plan looks like, check out my article The Better Sex Diet: Exactly What I Eat Every Day.

10. Avoid processed sugar, caffeine, and any other stimulants or drugs

Again, in line with taking it easy on your blood sugar levels, you want to ensure that you’re avoiding all refined sugar, caffeine, and any other stimulants or drugs. No alcohol, smoking, or junk food.

This might sound challenging to you, but it’s necessary. In terms of your burnout recovery, there’s more flexibility with sugar than there is with drugs, alcohol, and caffeine… but truly do your best to avoid all of the above, especially during the first 2-4 weeks of your recovery.

If you find yourself having a craving for junk food, just drink a litre of lemon water, eat some coconut oil and/or cashew butter, and take a nap. Believe me, your body will be much happier with you.

11. Supplement like a beast

The first thing that I started doing when I felt my burnout/adrenal fatigue/exhaustion creep up on me was I started researching all of the supplements that I could start downing on the daily in order to recover more efficiently.

While I don’t believe in any magic bullet or overnight quick fixes, I do believe in pumping my body full of vital nutrients that aid in speedy recovery.

extreme burnout

Through my research, these ten things ended up being the most significant for me. I took most, if not all, of them on a daily basis for the first 4-6 weeks of recovery.

Holy basil tincture

Magnesium bisglycinate (take 450-600 mg per day)

Licorice root extract

Liposomal glutathione

Liposomal vitamin C

B vitamin complex

Flax seed oil

Omega 3 + DHA

Caffeine free electrolyte tablets

A high quality, organic greens powder

And, much more infrequently (maybe 3-5 times per month), when my cortisol levels were all out of whack and I was having trouble passing out, I would take Brain Evolve before bedtime to help me sleep.

12. Regularly do nothing

As much as I benefitted from getting massages, getting blood work done with my doctor, and turning into a human pin cushion at my acupuncturists office, there were many days where the best thing that I could do for myself was to stay home and do nothing.

For the type-A overachievers out there, doing ‘nothing’ might seem like too nebulous of a concept. So here are some options as to what doing nothing could look like.

– Sit in front of the ocean/a large body of water and just look at it

– Lie on your back on the ground and just breathe

– Take a nap whenever you feel called to nap

– Take a long, luxurious epsom salt bath

– Go to bed early, and stay asleep for as long as you’re able to

Remember… any kind of extreme burnout phase is meant to be a wake up call.

If you’re feeling this tired, then what is it in your life that needs to change? For me, it meant less screen time, only putting out articles that I deeply believed in, and spending more time investing in my rest and self-care. For you, it could be something completely different.

Get in the habit of regularly checking in with your body and asking it what it needs from you. Your body is wise. It has a lot more answers for you than you might think.

Start By Doing These 3 Things

So… twelve things might seem overwhelming if you’re in the super early stages of your burnout.

I would recommend starting with the tips that have the most bleed-over effect into other areas of your life. Namely, tips #1, 3, 4, and 12.

To re-cap:

1. Decide, today, that your health is your new #1 priority above all else.

2. Reach out for help to friends and family.

3. Build a team of helpers and professional healers to help you along in your journey.

4. Regularly do nothing. Simply rest.

INWOOD-Ten second-graders from Valley View Elementary School are partaking in a new club that teaches them ways to be a gentleman.

“The Young Gentleman’s Club” is a new club that started just a few weeks ago. The boys meet during lunchtime on Wednesdays to learn about things like manners, hygiene, etiquette for young men, etc.

Jennifer Grimmett, school counselor at Valley View Elementary School, started a Young Ladies Club over ten years ago when she started working at the school.

“The girls’ group was easy because there are plenty of women in a school, but I didn’t have a male to be able to present it from a male’s perspective. You know in the world I don’t have a male’s perspective and I don’t know what it’s like to be a man, so I just kept trying to find someone, and then Mr. Byrd came this year and I thought he would be perfect,” Grimmett said.

Justin Byrd, behavior disorder teacher, jumped at the chance to lead the club.

“I am so glad she asked me because, you know, one of the main reasons I decided to be an educator is to try to make a difference and change lives, especially those who unfortunately don’t have a good background in their homes. So when she asked me to run this gentleman’s club, it brought a tear to my eye because it is something that I am really passionate about,” Byrd said.

Grimmett said the club is not only a way for the boys to learn, but it also shines a light on a positive male role model for them to look up to.

“Not always, but sometimes, a lot of our boys here don’t have a male in the home, and that’s not necessarily the case for this particular group of boys, but it is sometimes a fact of life. There are a lot of single-mom homes. And sometimes they do have a dad, but they could be so busy working that they might not have the time to teach these basic life skills of what it means to be a man in the world nowadays,” Grimmett said.

Grimmett said the club is in no way knocking parents for their parenting styles or their child’s home environment, but she and Byrd just want to be there to help these boys in any way that they can.

“These guys, the kids who are less fortunate, you know they don’t really get the male role model. I am just so happy to provide that for them and the school,” Byrd said.

Grimmett said in today’s society it is harder for boys to understand what being a gentleman truly means.

“A lot of the old-fashioned stuff has been lost as far as manners, chivalry, gentleman-like attitudes and stuff like that. And sometimes men don’t have these skills, and then they go out into the world later on and don’t know how to look someone in the eye when they shake hands, they don’t always know what is a respectful way to treat a female, because they don’t have anyone to teach them,” Grimmett said.

Byrd said there are several topics he has discussed with the boys, and there will be many more to come.

“We’ve gone over being polite, presentable, good hygiene routines, and some things we haven’t even gone over yet are how to speak to and respect adults, how to respect women, it’s a lot of things, what are the proper things to say, proper conversations to bring up. Things that they can use in the real world to show that they can be a gentleman and be presentable,” Byrd said.

Another aspect of the club is that the boys are required to dress up for school every Wednesday so they look nice for their meetings.

“So far the boys have been super excited. The parents have been great about making sure the kids get here at least with a buttoned-up shirt and tie, and if they don’t have one when they get here in the morning, we make sure every boy has one for the meeting so that no one is left out,” Grimmett said.

“I’ve noticed some other boys in the school who aren’t a part of the group who are wearing button-up shirts and ties, and even with these boys on the days they don’t have a group meeting, they are dressing up because they like the way it makes them feel. It’s like a ‘if you look good, you feel good, you do good’ kind of a thing,” Grimmett added.

Byrd said the boys have been very receptive to what he’s been teaching, and they have a lot of fun too.

“They come up to me every day and say, ‘you know, we talked about hygiene yesterday and I used this kind of deodorant,’ and I tell them I am proud of them and little stuff like that makes a difference. It makes me feel like I am making a difference, and that’s important to me too,” Byrd said.

Grimmett said although the boys are young, there are benefits to teaching them this kind of knowledge early on.

“Research shows personality is set by about age 8. Pretty much your personality of how you’re going to perceive the world and how you are going to present yourself to the world are set by then. So, we are hoping that it is easier to help build kids then try to fix adults. I’ve always seen it that way, which is why I love working with primary students,” Grimmett said.

Byrd said he hopes the effects of the club are long-lasting.

“We want this to carry on through their lives as they get old, and we want them to share with their peers and teach them the kinds of things they learn in this club. We don’t want it to end here just at Valley View,” Byrd said.

Grimmett and Byrd both hope that, by piloting this new type of club, other schools throughout the area will see the benefit and want to have a club of their own in their schools.

10 Guidelines for a Better Breath | How to Control Bad Breath

We try to get better breath when we are suffering from Halitosis(Bad breath) or are very intelligent and think that “Precaution is better than cure” and maintain good hygiene and proper maintenance of teeth, so that the complication never appears.

“To maintain good oral hygiene” is the “mantra” to prevent any oral diseases.

So here is a list of tips by following which we can prevent the condition of Halitosis from appearing.

First thing to know for prevention of halitosis are the foods which can be the cause of bad breath, given below are a list of commonly eaten food which can lead to halitosis.

Dont be like JOE in the pic, follow these simple steps to get rid of Bad Breath

how to get rid of Bad Breath

  • Proteins found in food:
  • Garlic onion and spices:
  • Dairy products like milk, yogurt, ice cream, panner. . .etc:
  • Chewing gum and mint with sugars:
  • High sugar containing foods:
  • Alcohol:
  • Smoking:
  • Coffee:
  • Chocolates:
  • Tobacco,pan, ghutka…etc:

1) So First tip is to take less quantity of these foods and to have at least a gargle after taking in any of these foods.

This is the main factor which will help you maintain a good and healthy oral cavity which will lead to good health. Just gargle with Mouth wash in the morning after brushing in the morning and with normal water after each meal you have. This will comprehensively improve your oral hygiene and will remove the factors causing  Bad breath or halitosis.

2)A well balanced Diet:

Patients suffering from halitosis should take a well-balanced diet consisting of seeds, nuts, grains, vegetables, and fruits, with emphasis on raw and cooked vegetables, and fruits. In case of constipation, all measures should be adopted for its eradication. The patient should avoid refined carbohydrate foods, such as white sugar; white bread and products made from them, as well as meat find eggs.a well balanced diet

3) Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste:

Which helps your remove food debris and plaque from between the adjacent teeth and also its accumulation in the vestibules. Brushing is mainly done to remove the accumulated food particles on the surfaces of the tooth or in the occlusal surface of the teeth in the pits on the occlusal surface mainly in the posterior teeth.

cleaning teeth

4) Cleaning the teeth and gums thoroughly:

This is also ans important point to be note, the teeth and the gums have to be cleaned thoroughly, we should take care that there are no food particles stuck in between teeth after a meal, if neglected the food particles are attacked by microorganisms and cause its decomposition which in turn leads to foul smell and so bad breath.

Cleaning of Gums should also never be neglected as the gums cover the part of the alveolar ridge which is surrounded by the cheek and lips, this forms a kind of valley(vestibule) which can be a site of food accumulation, this food  here also acts as a source of foul smell, so care should be taken to prevent accumulation of food particles.

5) Cleaning of Tongue: Might look silly but this is one of the most important causes of halitosis or bad breath, cleaning the dorsal/upper surface of tongue with the help of a tongue cleaner is essential daily at least once during brushing, this makes the tongue free from accumulation of food debris and also from the accumulation of microorganisms in the food.

We can see that during fever there is a white layer formed on the latter part of the tongue which is the cause of foul smell emitting from the mouth, this layer formation is also seen in normal people if proper care is not taken.

So the 4th tip is to clean tongue thoroughly once a day.tongue cleaning

6) Keep the oral cavity properly Hydrated all the time:

Keeping the oral cavity or more precisely mouth hydrated all the time can keep us away from bad breath, by drinking good amount of water daily will keep halitosis at a distance from us.

Drinking water acts as a natural cleaner in the body it cleanses the body of all the toxins, In Yoga drinking atleast 500ml of water early in the morning after brushing is recommended to have a healthy living.

7) Flossing once a Day

” Flossing is a critical step in creating the foundation for a healthy and beautiful smile.”

Flossing once a day is essential to maintain a healthy set of teeth, As Flossing removes plaque between teeth and below the gum line in the vestibule area and also helps in dislodging the pieces of food trapped between teeth which otherwise cannot be brushed or rinsed away.

Dental experts overwhelmingly agree that daily flossing is a critical, preventive step in reducing tooth decay and gum diseases.flossing

Here is a link to a video which shows flossing made easy: How to FLOSS

There is no proper way to floss it differs in different individuals, so do it in a way you feel comfortable in.

8 ) Treat Oral diseases:

the presence of oral diseases is a cause of bad breath or halitosis, some oral diseases like oral thrush can  lead to bad breath, so knowing the exact cause of the bad breath is necessary to treat it efficiently.

9) Chew Sugar free Chewing Gums:

Chewing sugar free gums decreases the chances of halitosis t a great deal, as we chew the salivary glands are stimulated and there is  an increase in release in saliva from them this helps in washing out of the food particles and as saliva has anti bacterial property it aslo helps in killing the bacteria.

So it really helps in preventing bad breath, but use only sugar free gums as the gums which contain sugar can become the cause of bad breath s the they may be the supplier of sugars to the bacteria for their growth.sugarfree gums

10) Avoid Antibiotics:

The use of antibiotics many times leads to bad breath, this is due to increase in body heat and the presence of artificial immune agents and the decrease in our natural immune system leads to growth of bacteria in the oral cavity, commonly seen during use of antibiotics is the appearance of sore throat which may lead to bad breath.antibiotics

“So these were some of the Important guidelines to prevent bad breath from troubling your life”

Your friends are fundraising. Don't miss out, opt in.

We did it!

Cristina Catania-Flores raised £378 from 26 supporters

Start your own crowdfunding page

Closed 05/10/2018

£378raised of £100 target by 26 supporters

    Weʼve raised £378 to help fund the charity Hands of Hope

    London Borough of Barnet, UK
    Funded on Friday, 5th October 2018

    What is crowdfunding?

    Crowdfunding is a new type of fundraising where you can raise funds for your own personal cause, even if you're not a registered charity.

    The page owner is responsible for the distribution of funds raised.

    This summer a group of us will be going on a trip to Jibou in North West Romania to work with the charity Hands of Hope which supports children and struggling families who suffer from great deprivation and social discrimination because of their cultural and racial background.

    A running marathon takes on average 4 hours 37 minutes to complete, so as I am unfit to do this, I am taking on the challenge via piano instead, playing for a straight 4 hours and 37 minutes. I will be streaming a live YouTube video from 11 am - 15:37 pm on Saturday 16th June. The video will be called 'Piano Marathon 16062018' and can be watched on my channel 'Cristina Catania-Flores'. Your donation, big or small, will be hugely appreciated so please help support this really great cause.

“This One Goes To Eleven”: The ICC and the Security Council

The unprecedented rejection by Saudi Arabia of its elected seat on the Security Council in October, 2013, ostensibly in protest of the Council’s perceived failures in the Middle East (citing Syria, Palestine, and the failure to free the Middle East of weapons of mass destruction), stunned the diplomatic world.  Less so the General Assembly’s near-consensus election last Friday of Jordan to fill the vacated seat.  Jordan will join four other newcomers to the Council—Chad, Nigeria, Lithuania, and Chile—on January 1, 2014, and another five previously elected members—Argentina, Australia, Luxembourg, Republic of Korea, and Rwanda—whose terms will end in December of next year (elected members serve over-lapping two-year terms).  Jordan will also assume the presidency in January 2014 (the position rotates monthly in alphabetical order).

What is significant about the Council’s 2014 configuration?  A record 11 Security Council members will be members of the International Criminal Court (ICC).   The four non-ICC members are: the United States, China, Russia (permanent members), and Rwanda.  In the past, roughly 7-9 Security Council members have been ICC members at any given time—a number that remained remarkably stable since the ICC gained ratifications.

Whither The Relationship Between the Court and the Council?

It remains to be seen whether this super-majority of ICC members on the Council will impact the relationship between the Security Council and the ICC, a subject of scholarship and debate ever since the Council referred the Darfur situation to the Court in 2005 with Resolution 1593.  But, focused diplomatic and academic discussion dedicated to considering, and improving upon, this complex relationship emerged as a sort of zeitgeist in 2012.  (Sample reports from these gatherings are available here and here, here).

For example, when Guatemala held the Council Presidency in October 2012, it hosted the first-ever open debate on the topic of “Peace & Justice with a Special Focus on the Role of the ICC”, with the goal of exploring:

how the Court, as a tool of preventive diplomacy, can assist the Council in carrying out its mandate to uphold the rule of law, maintain peace and security, and combat impunity while ensuring accountability for mass atrocities. It would also examine how the relationship between the two bodies had developed over the past decade and to consider the way forward in strengthening their linkages.

The event featured remarks to the Council by Judge Sang-Hyun Song (Korea), the President of the ICC (his first), as well as by U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki Moon, Phasiko Mochochoko (the head of the Jurisdiction, Complementarity, and Cooperation Division of the Office of the Prosecutor), and the President of the Assembly of States Parties, Tiina Intelman (Estonia).

In addition to this formal Council session, there have been a number of diplomatic and academic sessions dedicated to improving the relationship between these bodies, with most of the criticism aimed at the Council for its failure to better support the work of the Court in terms of: mandating cooperation, imposing sanctions, enabling UN funding for the Court, and limiting the Court’s jurisdiction.  The Council has also been criticized for not taking more robust action on Syria, including by referring it to the Court.  It should be noted that these criticisms are not just leveled at the P-3 who are not members of the ICC (China, Russia, and the United States); rather, ICC states parties are equally, if not more often, on the receiving end of such criticism on the theory that they “forget” that they are ICC members when they are elected to the Council.

Cooperation With Court Orders

The Council has been urged to demand more robust cooperation with respect to ICC warrants and other orders not only from Sudan and Libya but also from all UN member states.  It is axiomatic that the ICC Statute, as a multilateral treaty, only binds states that have ratified it.  These states are under a general duty to cooperate with the Court by virtue of Article 86, which states:

States Parties shall, in accordance with the provisions of this Statute, cooperate fully with the Court in its investigation and prosecution of crimes within the jurisdiction of the Court.

When the Council referred the Darfur and Libya situations to the Court, it echoed the language of Article 86 and imposed duties of full cooperation on the governments of the two territorial states (and on “all other parties to the conflict” in the Darfur resolution).  All other member states, by contrast, were merely urged to cooperate.  Resolution 1970 thus states that the Council decided that:

the Libyan authorities shall cooperate fully with and provide any necessary assistance to the Court and the Prosecutor pursuant to this resolution and, while recognizing that States not party to the Rome Statute have no obligation under the Statute, urges all States and concerned regional and other international organizations to cooperate fully with the Court and the Prosecutor (emphasis mine)…

Besides the two situation countries, only ICC Member states are under any express obligation to execute the ICC’s arrest warrants, and this is by virtue of their ratification of the Rome Treaty rather than via the UN Charter.

The Council has also not responded to findings of non-cooperation from the Court, particular with respect to the travel of ICC defendants to ICC member states and elsewhere.  Indeed, the Council has reacted with virtual silence to findings non-cooperation with respect to Sudan, Malawi, Kenya, Djibouti, Central African Republic, and Chad, although the United States, for one, has formally called for more “follow-up” by the Council with respect to the Sudan situation.  By way of comparison, the Council was much more aggressive in addressing the need to capture fugitives from the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY).  In Resolution 1207 (1998), for example, the Council:

Condemn[ed] the failure to date of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia to execute the arrest warrants issued by the Tribunal [ICTY] against the three individuals […] and demand[ed] the immediate and unconditional execution of those arrest warrants, including the transfer to the custody of the Tribunal of those individuals.

The untapped potential for peacekeeping mandates to contribute to the effectuation of ICC warrants was also a frequent refrain in these discussions—one area where there has been some movement, as we’ve discussed here.

Imposing Sanctions

In addition, the Council has been criticized for not imposing more robust sanctions on ICC defendants.  Security Council Resolutions 1591 and 1672 (among others) established a UN Sanctions Committee that imposed a range of sanctions on other Sudanese actors (including both travel bans and assets freezes).  Remarkably, none of these sanctions applies to any of the ICC defendants.  The Panel of Experts of the Sudan Sanctions Committee has recommended the inclusion of President Al-Bashir in these programs; members of the Council have blocked his addition.  Were the Council to freeze assets of these defendants, these funds could be used to pay reparations to victims and to cover legal fees of defendants who claim indigency, thus alleviating the financial strain on the Court posed by Council referrals.

Referral Limitations

In addition to this perceived lack of follow up by the Council in support of its referrals, states and academics have called for Council to eliminate language contained in Security Council referral resolutions barring United Nations funding of referral cases and exempting nationals from non-ICC member states from the ICC’s jurisdiction.  The funding language states that the Council:

Recognizes that none of the expenses incurred in connection with the referral, including expenses related to investigations or prosecutions in connection with that referral, shall be borne by the United Nations and that such costs shall be borne by the parties to the Rome Statute and those States that wish to contribute voluntarily…

The jurisdictional exemption language notes that the Council decided:

that nationals, current or former officials or personnel from a State outside the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya which is not a party to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of that State for all alleged acts or omissions arising out of or related to operations in the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya established or authorized by the Council, unless such exclusive jurisdiction has been expressly waived by the State…

Both of these limitations are in tension with provisions of the ICC-UN Relationship Agreement as well as the ICC Statute, which states at Article 115(b) that the

expenses of the Court … shall be provided by … the United Nations, subject to the approval of the General Assembly, in particular in relation to the expenses incurred due to referrals by the Security Council

The Statute also provides that the Court has jurisdiction over any nationals who commit crimes on the territory a referred situation (Article 13(b)).

Since the Darfur referral, the Council has received seventeen briefings by the Office of the Prosecutor.  The OTP’s interventions have conveyed mounting frustration at the lack of progress in gaining custody of Sudanese fugitives and the “inaction and paralysis” within the Council.  Justice Louise Arbour, former Chief Prosecutor of the ICTY and now head of the International Crisis Group, has argued for greater independence of the Court vis-à-vis the Security Council on the ground that referrals in the absence of follow up have actually undermined the ICC and the cause of international justice.

The Use of the Veto in Atrocity Situations

The so-called “Small Five” proposal (issued by Costas Riva, Jordan, Liechtenstein, Singapore, and Switzerland) is also a product of this zeitgeist.  This proposal, which accompanied a raft of suggestions for reforming the Council’s working methods, sought to have the permanent members of the Council pledge to refrain from using their veto to block collective action when crimes within the jurisdiction of the ICC are being committed.  The situation in Syria was salient in this regard.  The S5 ultimately withdrew their draft General Assembly resolution, entitled “Enhancing the Accountability, Transparency and Effectiveness of the Security Council,” after the United Nations Legal Counsel and Under-Secretary-General for Legal Affairs, Patricia O’Brien (Ireland), advised that the resolution concerned “important questions” that would likely require a two-thirds majority vote of the General Assembly to pass rather than procedural and other questions, which are determined by a simple majority vote.  France has since taken up the proposal in the Council, which has also been included as part of a new Security Council-reform initiative known as Accountability, Coherence and Transparency (ACT).  Similarly, the European Parliament issued a resolution calling for a Council Code of Conduct in the face of atrocity crimes.

No doubt, these initiatives will have greater traction in next year’s Security Council, especially given that many of these 11 ICC member states are already on record as being supportive.  Stay tuned…

Maybe Dismantling the GTMO Closure Office Wasn’t Such a Good Idea

As recent events reinforce, dismantling the Office of the Special Envoy for Guantanamo Closure at the Department of State was not such a good idea. Although obscured by the political dimensions of its name, the GTMO Closure Office (or S/GC) was responsible for work that remains vitally important to our national security —even in the Trump administration and even in the face of President Donald Trump’s pledge to “load GTMO up with bad dudes.” For eight years, until its closing, the office had primary responsibility for negotiating all detainee transfers, including those pursuant to court order or plea agreements. The office also had primary responsibility for monitoring and supporting previous detainee transfers, including conducting the diplomacy necessary to ensure that such transfers are successful. Today, the office is all but closed, with its responsibilities scattered and diffused without being formally reassigned. The one staff member still on its books has been reassigned elsewhere in the State Department.

In recent weeks, Trump administration failures have brought into focus the responsibilities previously assigned to S/GC and now apparently unassigned within the State Department. In February, Ahmed al Darbi was to be transferred to Saudi Arabia in fulfillment of a plea agreement, but as of today, he remains at GTMO. And, last week, Senegal apparently deported either one or both of the Libyan-national former GTMO detainees resettled there two years ago.

At the same time—and notwithstanding unfulfilled campaign pledges—malaise seems to permeate the rest of GTMO policy. The detainee population is 41, just as it was on the day President Trump took office. The five men whom the United States already determined could be transferred, subject to appropriate security measures, remain in detention at a cost of more than $10 million per detainee per year. And, although the parole-like Periodic Review Board (PRB) continues to operate, a growing list of overdue determinations suggests dysfunction and a lack of adherence to a controlling Executive Order.

At a surface level, these facts suggest that disbanding the State Department’s GTMO Closure Office was shortsighted and has yielded inefficiency. Deeper consideration, however, reveals that dismantling the GTMO Closure Office has already damaged—and will continue to damage—U.S. national security.  S/GC’s responsibilities for GTMO-related issues have been scattered, defaulting to regional bureaus and embassies unfamiliar with the issue set.  The government’s primary reservoir of expertise on GTMO detainee transfer frameworks has been dispersed, hobbling its ability to quickly respond to GTMO-related challenges. And, the loss of institutional memory associated with the office’s closure suggests that the U.S. government’s error is not easily recoverable.  Worse, it is difficult to escape the conclusion that these effects are the result of unthinking self-sabotage by political leaders who reflexively abjure the previous administration’s policies.

S/GC functioned as the U.S. government’s hub for GTMO policy

Al Darbi’s continued detention at GTMO is a clear example of the pitfalls of disbanding S/GC. Pursuant to a 2014 plea agreement before the GTMO military commissions, under which al Darbi agreed to, inter alia, testify against other GTMO detainees, he was supposed to be transferred to Saudi Arabia to complete his sentence by February 20, 2018. But the U.S. government has not held up its end of the bargain, so al Darbi remains at GTMO.  This failure is problematic on a number of levels.  It raises serious doubts about the U.S. government’s ability to keep its word (including to foreign partners) and undercuts the viability of military commissions plea agreement, dealing yet another blow to that troubled system.

According to public reporting, the government’s two-month delay in transferring al Darbi is due to unanswered questions about the transfer the Department of Defense posed to the Saudi government. For those who worked on GTMO detainee transfers, a transfer delay attributed to outstanding questions of a foreign partner government is as unsurprising as it is unnecessary. Whether DOD’s questions relate to specific security measures the Saudi government will impose on al Darbi or to treatment concerns — or even to the logistics of when, where, and how al Darbi will be delivered into Saudi custody – this would be information that S/GC would have previously been responsible for securing to DOD’s satisfaction.

From 2009 until 2017—with a brief hiatus in the spring of 2013—S/GC functioned as the focal point for the U.S. government’s policy on GTMO detainee transfers. In that time, three special envoys and a handful of staff developed unique expertise in negotiating security and reintegration frameworks for former GTMO detainees. S/GC worked to tailor these frameworks to the particular requirements of former detainees and the capabilities of receiving countries, within the narrow universe of foreign governments willing or able to repatriate or resettle former GTMO detainees. These negotiations were complicated, extraordinarily sensitive, and often conducted directly with heads of state, foreign ministers, defense ministers, interior ministers, and the chiefs of foreign security services. S/GC’s GTMO detainee transfer negotiations were multidisciplinary and wide-ranging; by turns they were highly political or extremely technical, implicating, for example, relations among sovereigns, the Refugee Convention, technical surveillance measures, humanitarian monitoring obligations, apartment floorplans, and airspace access fees.

As S/GC negotiated with foreign partners, it also spearheaded discussions about each transfer framework with other elements of the U.S. government, and regularly briefed members of Congress and their staff. Each GTMO detainee transfer was subject to approval by the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, the Attorney General, the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Director of National Intelligence, and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In practice, this interagency process gave each of these agencies an effective veto over any particular transfer. The threat of such a veto in the face of the difficulty of concluding a GTMO detainee transfer framework with a foreign government, empowered S/GC’s interagency colleagues to impose a wide variety of demands or requirements before even soliciting their principal’s view on any given transfer. Of course, that was their job and they did it to great effect. And, subjecting each transfer framework to such significant scrutiny almost certainly improved the outcomes of GTMO detainee transfers. Nevertheless, as a result of this policy process, S/GC was often in the position of wielding the apparatus of U.S. diplomacy to seek answers to very particular questions that the United States, if asked, itself would bridle at, if not refuse to answer outright.

While S/GC worked primarily to transfer those detainees approved for transfer by the 2009-2010 Executive Order Task Force, or by the ongoing PRB, it also negotiated the transfer of detainees who were slated for transfer for other reasons, like transfer in satisfaction of a plea agreement or a court-ordered release. For example, in February 2011, Noor Uthman Mohammed pleaded guilty before the GTMO military commissions. As part of his plea agreement, he was sentenced to serve 34 months at GTMO prior to transfer to Sudan, his home country. Despite the paucity of detainee transfers in the preceding three years, S/GC ensured Mohammed’s comparatively timely transfer to Sudan in December 2013, consistent with his military commission pleas.

Transfers were not the end of the story

Importantly, S/GC did not wash its hands of former GTMO detainees once a transfer was implemented. Instead, S/GC functioned as a clearinghouse for information gathered on former GTMO detainees. S/GC closely and extensively tracked U.S. government intelligence and diplomatic reporting, in collaboration with its interagency partners, to attempt to keep tabs on the well-being of former detainees and to make sure U.S. security needs were satisfied. It also maintained contact as necessary with the lawyers for former detainees.

S/GC did not simply keep tabs on former detainees from afar. Rather, when a problem with a transfer arose, S/GC led U.S. government efforts to address it; or, when a foreign partner government fell short of its commitments, S/GC led U.S. diplomatic engagement to improve compliance. The relationships S/GC built in the course of negotiating detainee transfers positioned it uniquely in the schema of the U.S. government to address, frequently with foreign partners, the unusual challenges that emerged following detainee transfers.

One recent example highlights S/GC’s importance. In the last two weeks, public reporting has indicated that either one or both of the Libyan-national GTMO detainees transferred to Senegal in April 2016 were deported back to Libya, perhaps involuntarily. Certain public reporting suggests that the U.S. government was caught unaware that Senegal might deport these former GTMO detainees, suggesting U.S. government may not be paying sufficient attention to former GTMO detainees. And the deportation itself raises concerns relating to security—sending former GTMO detainees to a failed state—as well as humanitarian issues—forcibly repatriating an individual who has expressed fear of torture or mistreatment. Issues like these were anticipated and addressed by those who previously served in S/GC.

It should be clear from the Senegal situation why it is necessary for the U.S. government to maintain a single facility, with expert staff, responsible for GTMO detainee transfer-related matters. This case raises concerns that do not fit neatly within the existing boundaries of bureaucratic specialization inside the U.S. government. Geographically, it implicates both Senegal, which is within the purview of the Bureau of African Affairs, and Libya, which falls under the purview of the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs. U.S. bilateral relations with both countries have been affected. It implicates national security and international law. Moreover, avoiding such a scenario requires members of the U.S. government—who often have very broad portfolios—to pay attention to a handful of low-profile, non-U.S. citizen individuals scattered around the world. Without S/GC, the State Department, in general, is simply not built to do that.

Although it is impossible to say with certainly that if S/GC were still functioning, last week’s debacle in Senegal could have been avoided, at the very least, the U.S. government most likely would not have been caught unaware. Moreover, unlike desk officers at the State Department or political officers at U.S. embassies, S/GC was able to engage high-level foreign and U.S. government representatives quickly and substantively, based on the rapport, relationships, and credibility developed over the last ten years. Such high-level engagement increased the likelihood of responding effectively and timely to an emerging or an emergent challenge with a former detainee or his transfer.

Stasis at GTMO is a recipe for failure

Finally, the stasis at GTMO increases the likelihood of camp disruptions and diplomatic recriminations. Either or both are likely to make very clear the deleterious effects of S/GC’s dissolution.

There have been no detainee transfers for 15 months, even though several transfers were reportedly on the cusp of implementation at the end of the Obama administration. Five men approved for transfer prior to President Trump’s inauguration remain at GTMO—two of these men have been approved for transfer since 2010 at least. The PRB continues to conduct parole-like hearings, but of the seven hearings conducted since January 20, 2018, three PRB determinations are well beyond their legal requirement for publication within 30 days—including one that is overdue by 14 months, suggesting dissension among PRB members or an extraordinary failure of interagency principals to convene a legally required PRB Review Committee.

Historically speaking, significant diplomatic friction or camp disruptions have accompanied long periods of policy stasis at GTMO. Former President George W. Bush acknowledged that by 2006, when he decided to close GTMO because the foreign policy and national security costs associated with the facility were simply too high. (President Bush would ultimately transfer 532 detainees from GTMO.) On the other hand, when President Barack Obama failed to transfer significant detainees over more than two years, and the Office of the Special Envoy for Guantanamo Closure’s responsibilities were temporarily shifted to the office of the Legal Adviser in January 2013, a massive hunger strike broke out at GTMO. At its peak, 64 percent of the detainee population participated in the hunger strike. But the number of participants dropped rapidly once a new State Department Special Envoy for Guantanamo Closure was named and detainee transfers restarted in August 2013. Such camp disruptions only become more likely should the population at GTMO increase.

The absence of S/GC will make it difficult to effectively respond to either type of crisis. Worse, because S/GC has been dissolved and its former staff have moved on to a variety of new positions, valuable institutional memory and substantive experience are lost.

Closing S/GC has weakened U.S. national security

Disbanding S/GC has increased the government’s difficulty in fulfilling its plea agreements, making it less likely that GTMO detainees will cooperate in the dysfunctional military commissions system. Disbanding S/GC has also increased the likelihood that challenges associated with previously implemented GTMO detainee transfers will go unaddressed, leading to increased opportunities for former GTMO detainees to engage in terrorist or insurgent activity should they choose. (One measure of S/GC’s success is the dramatic reduction in the so-called reengagement rate of former GTMO detainees transferred during the Obama administration as compared to the rate for those transferred in the Bush administration.) Finally, when disruptions at the camp do emerge or when the diplomatic costs of GTMO take hold for this administration, the absence of S/GC will exacerbate and prolong those challenges—and however the United States chooses to respond, its response will be carried out by GTMO detainee transfer neophytes.

None of this was necessary. The U.S. government, through the State Department’s GTMO Closure Office and with its interagency partners, invested a tremendous amount of time, energy, and resources in developing transfer frameworks designed to protect the American people while improving the international standing of the United States by releasing men who should no longer be detained. Disbanding the GTMO Closure Office has increased the likelihood of GTMO-related national security challenges and decreased the United States’ ability to respond to those challenges.

Supplement Description

Vitamin D helps to build strong bones and healthy teeth. Commonly known as the sunshine vitamin, Vitamin D is synthesised in the skin following exposure to sunlight. Most healthy adults should be able to get enough Vitamin D from being outside in the sun, unfortunately in the UK in the winter there isn’t much opportunity to get a daily dose of sunshine!

Recommended as a food supplement by the FSA

The Food Standards Agency recommends that if you are pregnant or breastfeeding you should take a 400iu/ 10µg supplement of Vitamin D each day.

People who may be at risk from Vitamin D deficiency include people who:
  • are of Asian origin
  • rarely get outdoors
  • eat no meat or oily fish

Vitamin D and rickets in children

Vitamin D is crucial for the maintenance of health and strong bones, a deficiency in Vitamin D can cause rickets in young children which is a weakening and softening of bones which can lead to bone deformities. After World War II instances of rickets in the UK was in very small numbers due to the British government introducing cod liver oil as a supplement - this is a great food source of Vitamin D. However between 2003 and 2013 the NHS reported a 430% increase in cases of rickets and it is becoming an increasing issue.

High strength, natural form, easy swallow tablets

Can I lose my boating license from a BUI Charge?

Depending on your state’s law, you may lose your license. In the state of Texas specifically, all boaters who operate a watercraft while intoxicated face license suspension. For a first time offender, license suspension typically lasts 6 months. Repeat offenders of boating under the influence will likely face a license suspension of one year. First-time BUI penalties in Texas will also typically include a fine of up to $2,000 and between 72 hours and 180 days in jail. These penalties will be much harsher if any serious bodily injuries occurred.

Jen & Dan :: Chesapeake Bay Beach Club Wedding

Jennifer and Danny held their Chesapeake Bay Beach Club Wedding on the Fourth of July for a truly spectacular celebration!  I don’t typically work on holidays, but knew I couldn’t pass up this wonderful opportunity.  The event was planned by the amazing team at 2Hands Studios with a super fun line-up of vendors, including my good friend Ben from Fordham Films, Kyle from Mixing Maryland DJ’s, Cakes Plus, Two Rivers Chamber Music, and the talented Rhonda Kaplan Floral Designs.  The stylists from UpDos for I Do’s created movie star looks for the bride and bridesmaids, which held up all day and night despite the 96 degree heat and super humidity.  The couple lives in Colorado so they needed a trusted planner to help with the details and make sure the wedding day was perfect…and it was!

The love Jen and Dan have for each other and their families is amazing and it was effortless to photograph them together.  There was no shortage of special moments, laughter, tears, sparkle and fireworks!

Auditor General exposes how County Governments lose money

The Auditor General has released an audit report that exposes how county governments failed to follow the law through irregular payments, and skewed tendering processes that resulted in losses of public funds. The 2017 audit report, by the Auditor General Edward Ouko also highlights how some county assemblies have maintained a bloated workforce.

In his report Ouko details how county governments overspent by 59 million shillings on personnel payments, domestic travel, subsistence and other travel costs. The Auditor General singles out Kisumu and Kajiado counties which cannot account for millions of shillings. In Kisumu County, Ouko details how MCAs pocketed 648,900 shillings in double payment of sitting allowances having attended more than two committee meetings on the same date and time.

In Kajiado County Assembly, a county staff was issued with an imprest of 793,800 shillings to pay per diem for two days to attend a funeral in Narok County. The audit reports which have been tabled in the Senate will see respective leadership of the County Assemblies appear before the County Public Accounts and Investment Committee to defend their expenditure.

A new poll released Thursday morning showed Republican U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz has stabilized his lead over his Democrat challenger, U.S. Rep. Beto O'Rourke of El Paso.

Fifty-four percent of Texans backed Cruz, while 45 percent backed O'Rourke in the latest Quinnipiac University poll.

As for each candidate's images, 52 percent of Texans surveyed had a favorable view of Cruz, with 44 percent viewing him unfavorably. O'Rourke, however, was slightly underwater in how Texans viewed him: 45 percent of respondents had a favorable view of O'Rourke, compared to 47 percent who view him unfavorably.

A September poll from the same outfit showed the same margin: a nine-point Cruz lead. While at times Quinnipiac had this race within the margin of error over the last year, the Cruz lead has stabilized in this and other polls to the high single digits.

This most recent poll was conducted Oct. 3-9.

The poll also took a snapshot of Texas' gubernatorial race, showing Republican Gov. Greg Abbott with a prohibitive lead over his Democratic rival, former Dallas County Sheriff Lupe Valdez, 58 percent to 38 percent.

Strikingly, while Valdez and O'Rourke have consolidated support among African Americans, Abbott and Cruz garnered sizable Hispanic support. Cruz had the backing of 37 percent of Hispanic respondents while nearly half of Hispanics surveyed — 46 percent — supported Abbott.

Sixty-two percent of Texans viewed Abbott favorably while 32 percent of Texans had an unfavorable view of the governor. In contrast, Valdez — an underfunded candidate — is still largely unknown for this point in the cycle. Thirty-one percent of Texans had a positive view of Valdez and 29 percent had an unfavorable view of her.

The poll surveyed 730 likely voters using cell phone and landlines. The margin of error was 4.4 percent.

Preserve, Enrich, Inspire
 THE YELLOW WALL-PAPER is a short story by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, first published in January 1892 in The New England Magazine. It is regarded as an important early work of American feminist literature, illustrating attitudes in the 19th century toward women’s physical and mental health. Presented in the first person, the story is a collection of journal entries written by a woman whose physician husband has confined her to the upstairs bedroom of a house he has rented for the summer. She is forbidden from working and has to hide her journal from him, so she can recuperate from what he calls a “temporary nervous depression – a slight hysterical tendency,” a diagnosis common to women in that period.

Javier Castellano, rider of Cathryn Sophia (winner) – “She felt like she belonged with this group. What a filly! It feels great.”

Mario Gutierrez, rider of Land Over Sea (second) – “She broke just a little slow, but otherwise I had a good trip. She came running. It was a good race for her.”

Irad Ortiz Jr., rider of Lewis Bay (third) – "She surprised me. She was very keen. She was on her game today. She was pretty close, I didn't think she'd be that close. But, that's racing. She broke aggressive. She relaxed nicely. I had to move a little early for her style. Maybe could have run second, but she still ran a beautiful race. The trainer (Chad Brown) did a great job with her. She's a nice filly."

Luis Saez, rider of Go Maggie Go (fourth) – “It didn’t go very good. There was a lot of trouble in the race. I expected her to be a lot closer early, but she finished good.”

Joel Rosario, rider of Mo d’Amour (fifth) – “She broke well and I had a good trip. At the three-eighths pole, I asked her and she had a little trouble getting going. We lost some position, but then she fired and we started really going. I think she ran well.”

John Velazquez, rider of Rachel’s Valentina (sixth) -- “We were in a good spot; she was cruisin’ for me early. Then when we hit the three-eighths (pole), she started jumping up and down. She just didn’t have it.”

Corey Lanerie, rider of Weep No More (seventh) – “She broke OK and then down the backside she got pushed around a little bit, but I don’t think it really compromised her. We got bounced around a little bit, but she still got out and in the middle of the turn and I got to angle out, and then turning for home I had clear sailing. The track might not have played in her favor to close, but I thought she ran a great race.”

Brian Hernandez Jr., rider of Dream Dance (eighth)"I thought my filly ran great. She settled in behind horses pretty good. We had a little traffic issue around the second turn, which you're going to have in these 14-horse fields like that. When I finally got her back out in the clear she ran on from there. She closed even more ground. She dug in and she impressed me for a young 3-year-old filly like she is. She ran against the best in the country and didn't disgrace herself. I thought she ran her race and she showed up."

Emisael Jaramillo, rider of Paola Queen (ninth) – “She was running near the leaders until the stretch, but she wasn’t able to make a run in the stretch.”

Ricardo Santana Jr., rider of Terra Promessa (10th) -- "She was really sharp today. She broke really sharp. I sat her down and she relaxed a little bit. She doesn't run like that (on the lead). It was pretty hard on her. No one broke with her."

Florent Geroux, rider of Royal Obsession (11th) – “I got bumped at the start and from there I got too far back. I was able to save ground on both turns but was not able to accelerate down the lane.”

Shaun Bridgmohan, rider of Venus Valentine (12th) –“I was basically last. My filly gave me what she’s got. I didn’t have any issues. I was last throughout and she picked up some horses and she tried.”

Flavien Prat, rider of Mokat (13th) – “I got a good trip but she just didn’t handle the dirt. She was swimming out there and never picked it up. I think she’s much better on the turf.”

Mike Smith, rider of Taxable (14th) -- “I’m at loss for words to be honest. She didn’t show up at all. We got away well, got around the first turn OK. After that, she was kind of lost. I tried to pick her up and get into the race and she wanted to part of it.”

Catching the Ferry to Ireland

"A great way to start your holiday to County Kerry"

Once aboard the ferry to Ireland it’s time to relax as now you know your holiday has really begun. Say goodbye to traffic jams, noise and pollution and hello to:

  • peaceful mountain landscapes,
  • fresh seafood
  • and beautifully clean sea air that rolls off the Atlantic coast.
  • Ferry to Ireland at Dock

    If your plan is to visit the beautiful Southwest coast of Ireland from the UK then your best bet is to take the overnight ferry from Swansea to Cork. This popular route stopped running for years but was reintroduced in March 2010 due to popular demand.

    After a good night’s sleep in either a private cabin or a reclining Pullman seat you feel fully rested and ready to head out and explore. County Kerry is just 55km from Cork harbour!

    Update - 2012
    Unfortunately the operators of the Swansea to Cork ferry went into liquidation late in 2011. This was a real shame as this was a highly enjoyable way to start your holiday to Ireland. We now take the the ferry from Pembroke to Rosslare which is outlined below.

    On the plus side this crossing is both faster and cheaper!

    Ferry to Ireland Route Map

    Alternative ferry routes to Ireland are:

    • Liverpool or Holyhead to Dublin.
    • Pembroke Dock or Fishguard to Rosslare.

    These routes run more frequently,are cheaper and the crossing times are under 4 hours.

    The transfer to the County Kerry takes a little longer, just over 4 hours. Bookings can be made through either Irish Ferries or Stenaline.

    Alfie and Dad After Ferry To Ireland

    Taking the ferry to Ireland is the ideal option for my family as it means our dog Alfie can come with us when we visit our holiday cottage.

    Funnily enough when we fly to Kerry Airport, Ryan Air don't allow us to pack him in our hand luggage.

    However, as long as he stays in the car the ferry is an extremely dog friendly way of traveling to Ireland.

    He loves it as soon he will be charging around as much Kerry countryside as he possibly can.

    My sister rarely comes out to Kerry any other way. Its not that she doesn’t like flying; its just that she is totally addicted to surfing and windsurfing off the Dingle peninsula.This way she can load up her van with all her kit and go camp on the beach for as long as she cares to.

    Rachel on the Ferry to Ireland

    Just don’t get your van stuck in the sand like I did!

    The ferry is also a great option if you are planning a golfing holiday in Kerry or planning to cycle the Ring of Kerry. By bringing your own car you can bring all your sporting gear and when you get here you have the independence to drive yourself to the top cycling spots and the best Kerry golf courses.

    I hope that you find jumping aboard the ferry to Ireland just as pleasurable a start to your holiday in Ireland as I do.
