I took care of my mom from then on, taking to her to a lot of her doctors appointments, tests, and treatments. To watch someone put poison into their body, knowing that it was the only hope they had. Knowing that it was the right thing, even if it was the hard thing. She was a fighter. Initially, she was given three months to live. One doctor basically told her to just go home and give up.
Two years and seven months. That is how long she fought. For two years and seven months, life was hard. It was keeping our sense of humor, when things went badly. It makes all the difference in the world. Having people around makes all the difference. Sometimes, you need to be angry at things. Then, have a cookie. Or listen to sad music. But the most important thing, for my mom and our family, was being able to laugh. Watching her go through what she went through was the worst ever.
But it was the right choice. You are doing a brave, right, wonderful, hard, amazing thing. Because Anthony is your people. And your people get priority. Sending all the love in the world. To get advice or just vent? But sadly, she just found out that her best friend only has 2 weeks or so left. At one point, Ensure shakes helped. But her best friend, too? I gave up what basically amounted to 3 years of my life to go through the same thing with my best friend, and then to help her children after she was gone.
I have never regretted it for one minute. Please know that we will support you through all of this — you most definitely have our permission and our blessings. Go do what you need to do. I have to admit, I am only an occasional reader of this blog, and a rather silent one. I struggle with words but I still want to let you know my thoughts… I think your decision is incredibly brave and nothing is more inspiring to me than bravery in the name of friendship. I am incredibly humbled and grateful of the generosity you show by sharing this story with us.
I wish you both all the love and hope and strength you will need in this journey. With all my love. After losing 2 friends to cancer this year and my grandparents last year one of whom I did a portrait of which was included during that performance of Lost in Toronto I totally understand. As everyone else said: If you call up and be nice and beg them to transfer it to a credit or to reschedule it to a different date, they will often let you. Tell them it was circumstances beyond your control. You might have to pay a change fee or pay a difference in price.
This, however, this broke my heart and I wish I could give you a hug. Oh, do I understand. More importantly, it is making me resent every single thing that comes between me and time with her. For you, for him, for your fans. Better that you be there, that you fill that need to be there, then come to later resent it all for what it takes away from you.
Excellent decision, and one I am sure you will never regret. Good things are worth waiting for and your true fans will never leave you. I came to you through Neil. I lost my mother to brain cancer on Christmas Eve, I was thirteen, and I saw her the day before she died. I was probably one of the last people to see her alive. You stand by your best friend, and do NOT worry about anything. Your fans love you, they will wait. Your man loves you, he will let you cry on his shoulder. Good luck to Anthony! Then I thought that maybe I can comment on this, from a nearly-outsider perspective: You are not our parents rockstar.
You have a large fan base of people who feel a personal connection to you, because you share. Stay with your friend, we will be here for you, whatever happens. By telling you to do the right thing — by being patient — we can give something back. Your friend is so lucky to have you by his side at this moment.
Hope everything gets better!! This is one of them. Gigs get cancelled without any reason given sometimes, you give us a very good reason. Hi Amanda — You are absolutely doing the right thing as family and friends are irreplacable. Yes, you are doing exactly what you need to do, Amanda. Good on you for taking care of him as he took care of you for all of those years. You take care of each other and there is the indelible circle, drawn in the earth with a stick. Thank you for being a human being.
It is profoundly buoying to witness. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your friend. In order to make good art, you must be human first. Take care of your family and your self. Your fans trust you. And, if anything, I imagine our hugs will just be warmer, longer and tighter than before.
Leave the rest up to us. You are not alone. One of my oldest and dearest friends was diagnosed with cancer — for the second time this year — in August. I lose my husband suddenly on June 17th of this year. How fucking ironic is that. There will be other chances to preform and make music, but the time you have the ones you love you can never get back. Do what you got to do sister. Your intro and his stories made things so much clearer to me. I hope all goes well with his treatment. Do what you need to do. Amanda, my dear, I so admire your heart.
I love you dearly, and I want you to go be with Anthony. You inspire me with your kindness and faithfulness. We will still be here later, lovingly waiting to patch you up if need-be. Sending all my best thoughts your way xx. You are making the right decision, of course we support you and understand. I loved my little brother.
But when our Mum was diagnosed with lung cancer last year.. He moved away, got on with his life. He just went on.. He barely even called. I had to call him on that day to remind him to call her and ask how she was doing. But when the time came, he chose what was best for him. Not out of fear or denial, but a simple choice to not be there for her. I am very very glad you have not made a similar choice. Thank you for the choice you have made. Thank you on behalf of anyone who has ever felt let down by a loved one in their time of greatest need.
I understand, and I hope and believe that everyone will understand. This is the least selfish selfish decision anyone could ever have to make. Disappointment is temporary, regret is permanent, and you have to do what you know in your heart is clear because you have to live with you, and Anthony and your relationship with him, both deserve you — they deserve you completely. I so understand what you are doing. It is the human thing to do, to be with one you care for.
A tour can be re-scheduled but time cannot and you have a much better place to spend it. I respect you so much for doing this, putting a friend before money. Thank goodness there is no label to put the wrong pressure on you. I saw you in October and was so looking forward to seeing you again but I can wait. I try to keep regrets to a minimum. I regret, a deep hurtful regret, that I did not visit a dear friend of mine in the hospital or while she dealt with cancer. She died suddenly and it devastated so many of her close ones. Having battled cancer myself I can tell you first hand that having your friends and family with you makes a difference.
I wish you and your best friend, Anthony, love and healing. I always dreamed of having a mentor, a friend that I could tell everything to. I had the chance to meet you briefly during your time in the Dresden Dolls, and you were amazing. Any person that has had such an impact on your life is a person that is also important to us. Through you, we can also love and admire Anthony.

You were right, your fans will understand. None of us would take you away from him in his hour of need. Keep being strong and beautiful for him and for yourself. However it would be completely and utterly horrible and selfish of me to be in any way angry at you. Fans who truly love you will want you to be with your friend, not performing in front of us away from him, worrying about him. I just want to let you know that I get it. The need to have this time with your dear friend.
To be there for him through this. We lost my Dad suddenly last summer and that kind of loss is particularly jarring and so incredibly heart wrenchingly difficult. My thoughts are with you and Anthony as he faces his treatment. This made me cry. In a healthy, therapeutic way. You are making the right decision. Take all the time you need.. We, your true and faithful fans will wait for you, because this is the only right decision to make. Amanda, Do what you need to do.. Life is too short to not be there for people you love.. You have an amazing fan base and inspire each and every one of us always.
I love you, be strong for Anthony and never forget how much of an amazing woman you truly are. You have an army of support behind you. Thank you for being you! I love you and your music has kept me going in the worst and best of times!

You're a main inspiration in my life Mrs. I plan on rocking my life to inspire people the way you do! Amanda, the ticket to your March show in Birmingham UK is stuck proudly to the noticeboard in my kitchen, and there it will stay until you can make it over here. Take all the time you need. Love and positive vibes to you and Anthony. Amanda, so much of what I love about your music is its unapologetic emotion and honesty. As long as you keep living your life being true to yourself, your music will reflect it and will keep being utterly fantastic.
But the minute you deny your own truth, who you are, your music will become shallow and lose everything there is to love about it. So what you are doing right now is in fact a career move. We fans need you to stay true to yourself so that we can look forward to hearing more amazing music from you. So thank you for being you, the one and only Amanda Fucking Palmer, and much love to you and Anthony.
When we are hurting and broken we turn to you, and we would never, EVER, expect you not to be that person. It is your role in life in a single room- you are supporting millions of people every second with your words. You give people the strength to fight through their problems, and make them feel powerful enough to support others.
And when you are there, gripping his hand, willing him through, we are all there with you. We are and will be here for you. Having seen you perform and having sat in a hospital with my 19 year cousin watching him go through treatment and then dying of cancer… I can tell you, with no thought, which experience I would forgo if I had to choose only one. And your decision shows you know too.
More than good on you! Thanks for thinking and worrying about us but take all that energy and put it towards Anthony. Your humility shines through with your honesty and openmess leading the way. Thank you for being a human. Thank you for being you. Even during uncomfortable times. Bought his book, just waiting for the right time to read it. Wishing you all the best xxxxxx. My husband lost his mother three years ago to cancer.
She was diagnosed in August and gone by the end of March. It is a horrible, wicked disease—a disease that can be wholly unpredictable. I completely understand your decision, and any fan who has been through something similar holy shit, any human being with a modicum of a soul will understand. Be with those you love. Let everyone you love know it, and often. And hang in there, woman. Amanda, never be sorry for doing the right thing, ever. We are all here with you, every step of the way, waiting to catch you if ever you should fall.
The way you have done for so many of us so many times, and will continue to do for a very long time. In the recent weeks since I have discovered you I have laughed, loved, and cried with you. My heart and best wishes go out to his family and friends at this terribly difficult time. When my mom was dying of cancer, I brought her to Boston. Boston has some of the BEST cancer doctors in the world. They extended her life by 2 years, which were two of the best and most painful years of my life. And when someone is there to hold your hand when the nurse walks away, that touch is the only thing that matters.
My grandmother passed away from cancer on September 22nd, the morning of your Phoenix show that I had tickets to, and so very much wanted to go to. But I was in LA, saying goodbye to the strongest woman in my life. I was so looking forward to the show, and cancer got in the way. It has a bad habit of doing that. And I greatly support the decision to be with Anthony during this time.
We could bring books for him. Thank you for being such a positive light in all of our lives. Hope and positive thoughts to your friend. I saw you perform sick but stellar in TO, and you energized that room despite the fact. Focusing your abundance of energy on Anthony during treatment seems beautiful, selfless, compassionate and right. Thanks for being so honest and for making the toughcalls easier. You are doing the right thing! I think the lyrics say it all! You can hold your head high! We love you Amanda! Numbering helps me make my points without having to introduce or connect them in any way.
This decision reminds me of the reasons I like you as a person AND artist. I admire your courage and humanity. Reading your blog, I inexplicably thought of this piece: I hope to meet you someday. Good luck to you and Anthony. You need to do what you need to do. I lost my husband after a long sickness.
I was not able to take much time off work. I would not wish that on anyone. You NEED to be there. I missed three days of work in two months, all because my grandmother was crippled by small cell cancer. But I gave them a big middle finger and hugged my Grammy. Miraculously, Grammy has recovered almost completely from the dementia and is now out of the hospital and wheeling her happy body around the house. I took all of this as beauty, as part of the process. My point is simple: You are beautiful, and you are beautiful for doing this. Sending love to you, Neil, Anthony and his family at this tough time.
And this is why I love you so much! It helps, just a little. Best of luck to Anthony, my heart goes out to you both. Your songs sink deeper and deeper into my heart every time I listen. I have just spent the last 18 months caring for my husband, who died of cancer on August 31, You will never regret taking this time and being there…you will not lose anyone of importance because you made this choice…and you will forever love yourself and be loved by anyone who has ever been in your position for choosing to do what you need to do for yourself and someone you love.
The first before he got sick…taking photos, which he loved. The second, about half way through his journey, checking out his new recliner, the last place he slept The third, he and I together in March of last year…after his surgery, but before radiation and chemo began…a great Sunday afternoon with friends. And lastly, the last photo ever taken of him…waiting in a big, comfy chair for the contrast to circulate before his last PET scan.
This was two weeks before he passed away. Lots of love, prayers, light and hugs for Anthony, you and your families. Sending you love and courage for the journey ahead. When my father was diagnosed with cancer, I quit my job and moved provinces within two weeks, spending weeks, sometimes months with him. I am so thankful for all of the time I had with him when he and my mom needed me most. So much love to you, Amanda. It makes me respect you more as a person to know that you are devoted to being there for the people you care about.
Thanks for laying out for everyone your reasons and helping people understand who you are and what matters to you. Best wishes for Anthony. The people who are precious to you in your life have to come first. I wish strength to you and Anthony during this difficult time. Do what you need to do, Amanda. We will wait for you. You and your music were here for me when I lost my husband to cancer. But I heard one song, then another, then had to buy the album, and another, and start following your posts…fuck I blame you for making me join twitter I held out for so long, but I am a twit, or a twat, or whatever now, thankyouverymuch.
I have been really sick the past few months, on top of struggling with the semester, and your music has kept me sane. You helped me through it all not to be dramatic or anything. Friendships are so strong, yet so fragile at the same time, we must do what is needed for those we love dearest. My thoughts of strength and loveliness thrown out to the universe, for you and yours.
I have recently gone through cancer myself, being the direct victim if you will. The worst part for me away from the physical side of things were the times when my loved ones were not around. Conversely, the best times were when my wife, mum, brother in-laws were with me and had smiles on their faces. At those times it meant that I was entertaining, not sick. All the best to you. Your fans will understand. Maybe sooner, maybe later, but they will.
Tidings of comfort and joy, and all that. I know it must mean so deeply to him to have you be there, to be his rock. A kind of role reversal for you two, from what I gather. My heart sank and my face grew a stony worried impression as he was describing what the boys were doing. But to see him flash back in that instant of what happened, to literally see him shoot back to that exact moment of being a young boy, scared and unable to protect something so dear to him, to fight for it…it was fucking powerful.
A proper introduction, at least. I bought his book. It came in the mail this past week. Not just from a moral standpoint. Your brain would get all kerfuffled. Having followed your career for several years now I was so excited to finally see you live on your last night in Boston. I will confess that, having only heard your recorded music and watched your videos when my crap-ass country internet would let me load them, that I was much more enthralled and inspired by the way that you were propelling your art forward than anything else and I wanted to support you in that.
I got the album through the kickstarter and enjoyed it tremendously, but it did not prepare me for the vastness of your presence as a live performance artist. Watching you from the balcony I was over the moon as a fan, so jazzed, so happy, so enlivened. But the mother in me was also just stunned at what it must be like to try and fit the enormity of your vision and drive and talent in that one, small mortal frame. Maybe you need a nap? And so I am glad that you are making this choice, for Anthony and for yourself.
Sometimes we have to submit to the boundaries of time and space and mortality. Allowing ourselves to feel the weight of it is what puts our feet firmly on the ground so we have the power to love deeply and forever. Sometimes we just have to stay put and trust that the world will still be there when we get back. I am sending you so, so much love and strength and courage. Love and hold each other. Best and hardest choice you will make and for what its worth you have made the right one.
Best of luck to you both. People forget artists are human. I hope this year brings you both what you need and what you deserve, especially in each other. We were there, at the reading. I laughed and nodded and commiserated with his first story, about the food. For me it was Irish, and I was beaten not for refusing food, but for sneaking other food and getting fat, but man did I relate.
Anyway, he and my partner had a nice moment so I just went with it, but still regret losing my words. I get it, I absolutely get it. Snapped this pic while waiting in line, I like it, both of you side-by-side, interacting with fans. Thank you for this Amanda, your self-assurance is so inspirational.
You definitely made the right decision. Amanda, I lost my boss early this year to cancer. He was an amazing human being and a great mentor to me. I tried to be there for him all that I could, and the last time I saw him, because we both knew it would be our last moments together, we were able to say goodbye. I have lost two friends who died in accidents and I would give anything in this world to have one last goodbye with them like I did with my boss. You are not coming to Mexico soon, so I am not affected by your decision at all, but just like with Fiona she was coming, and I was going to see her it is even ridiculous to say I understand.
It is the obvious thing to do. I hope Anthony gets better, and be strong. But my mom, this subject 7 years later tears me up. So go, Take all the time you need, its where you need to be, I wish i could have been as strong as you. Amanda, no one ever regrets the time invested and spent with the ones we love. Be brave and strong. Prayers for you both from Tennessee. Having the opportunity to be there for a friend no matter what the outcome, OR human or animal will make all the difference in their world and yours.
Always follow your heart and your future will be there for you. Sunshine and peace, and love in dark times, Vx. You took a chance and won! You have put yourself out there love you or not! You are so strong and brave because you can and have admitted things and feelings most could never speak and you did that for all of us to hear. You have shared yourself through your journey of life. And for some that is super hard. I believe that is why you have fans that will not shit on you when you are down and cancel.
We appreciate all you do as an artist. We will be here supporting you in all the ways we know how and we will continue to support you when you return to the fast life. Anthony, You and all those that love him will be in my thoughts. A ticket can be refunded, a show can still happen, there are solutions. Losing someone you love is the most painful thing. I lost a dear friend to cancer. I still have regrets, we should have hung out more, I should have called him more. The most painful thing.
If you can stay with Anthony, stay with him. Tell him you love him. Every day, every night. The rest can wait. We DO know you. And we DO love you that much. You are beautiful, you are a pure human being and we will be waiting when you come back. Peace to you and Anthony. Your dear friend needs you. I was looking forward to see you with my ears.. I had breast cancer 2 years ago, on the day before Christmas Eve, I will celebrate my life.. Sending out love, hugs and healing vibes to you and Anthony. I would give almost anything to have him back. I say almost anything, because I would not give up the ones I still have.
I always knew you were a great artist. Love to Anthony and to you. Take care of yourself. This fan can wait. Taking care of yourself now significantly increases the chances of me blasting the nursing home with your latest album 40 years from now. My mom is dying of cancer right now and here you are going through the same thing right on cue.
I first heard you at the very darkest point in my life. I was 13, being abused, and hurting myself. My only escape was to lock myself in the bathroom where I slept so I could be safe and play your songs that I had recorded off your website onto a 25 cent tape recorder I found at a garage sale. You were the only constant when I left at 14 and my adopted mormon parents thought you were evil and took your cds and burned them. I bought your first CD six times. You were there when I got sent to live at a hospital for 2 years when I was 15, when I went back to where I started when I was When I finally broke free and left and quit harming myself when I was 18 and through my adult life till now Good luck with your friend.
Go into this deep, dark, mysterious area of life guided by the light of our love and support. I wish all the best to Anthony, you, and your families. My husband and I have lost too many people this year—one of the reasons we missed your Atlanta show—so I understand this completely. If you have the ability to be with this person and help them, that is what you should do.
Do what needs to be done. Take care of yourself and your friend. This is the hard work, the real work.
cancer. canceling. postponing. waiting. growing.
Everything else should fall away. A friend I lost touch with 16 years ago who was also my first love was murdered a month ago. Shot for just three pizzas. I will regret losing touch forever. Cry day for me too. I thank Anthony for helping to make you the person who choices love and life. This is why we are all here and stand in silent prayer in the shadows of your vigil. Hey coming from Wellington, we owe you for all the years you have come. I have seen you more often then local bands, no one else comes that often.
SO thank you for that and I hope your dear friend gets better and you relax and enjoy being home. Be happy, Be happy. Amanda — having watched in my 36 years on this earth as my father, sister, brother, best friend and goddaughter have all struggled through, and so far won, the battle against cancer, I so admire you for what you are doing. Its an amazing sacrifice, but one that we do for people we truly care about.
I eagerly will be waiting on the other side, whatever the outcome, to hear the music, to surf the crowd and to be in your prescense again. And, as a matter of fact, for the kind of person you are, there was no choice. And i do think none of us, your fans, would.
You would need to ask us for forgiveness if youhad decided to leave you friend to follow your carrier, but for this? Dear, no need at all. Your decision just make us love and admire you more. And make us proudly be here, sitting on our chairs, to wait for your return, with all of your nobleness and known human being-ness. Go there take care of your dear friend because all the others, all the known and unknonw fan friends will be here for whenever you need support and strength to face this moment, giving back all the love and respect you always shared with us.
Keep on being brave and wish you the best for both of yoit u. Friendship and the true love of our loved ones is the most precious gift we can get from life. It was so exciting!

Amanda, you have been taking care of us for years. Go take care of your friend. Amanda, I totally get it… my brother and best friend was diagnosed with Leukemia in … he lived in a city a couple hours away from me and so I quit my job and moved myself to be closer to him during his treatment. I have always admired you but now more so than ever before. Best of luck to your friend Anthony, I truly hope he makes it through this like my brother did 6 years with no relapse!
You have changed my life. It was your music that brought me back into the music of living life. You deserve to live yours and keep your own music flowing as beautifully in your mind and in your heart as it flows through your actual music. This may not make sense. Thank you for existing. Love, love, love and lots of energy for the days ahead. May that blessing give you strength.
Goddess likes us to grow. Kahlil Gibran says our quivering branches go to the shaken roots. Anthony might be fine- you never know. Amanda, know in your heart that you are doing the right thing for both yourself and for Anthony. I have to believe in my heart of hearts that your fans will understand and have all the more respect for you for this decision I know I do. Often people choose to err on the side of fulfilling their professional obligations, assuming their friends and family will always be there. But, they might not be. You are doing a very courageous and honorable thing by choosing to cancel your tour dates and spend time with your friend to help him to endure his struggle with cancer.
I hope you and your loved ones enjoy a special holiday together this year. For those of you who celebrate, that is. Thank you, that you stay with your friend. I like your music, but I love you for being a friend to Anthony, instead of being a rockstar.

Maybe, ther eis a little chance, you loose the momentum you build the last months. But for sure you will gain so much more. Thx and best wishes and feelings for you two. I send love to you Amanda Palmer and I respect and understand why you would clear room for your loved ones in your life. Do we need our musicians to live unsatisfied and unhealthy lives just for our amusement? I think you are taking a good step in the right direction and we will all be there for you when you come back. You took my comment right out of my…keyboard? Through the party on the internet, I connected with awesome people that made me feel less alone when I was going through friend shit and felt like I had next to no one.
Your blogs, tweets, Tumblr, the album, everything has all contributed to that, too. When I heard that the shows had been postponed today I was annoyed to be honest, my self and a friend speculated why this decision was made. You take all of the time that you need. Be close to your friend, hold him, sing to him, laught with him. I know what it is like to have someone that you love taken away and I will never begrudge you any amount of moments you may have left. I hope that they are years and years more, but with what your friend is facing that is never certain.
We will be here, I know that I will — regardless of how long. I will also be are your concert when you come to play, and I have no doubt you will. I admire your bravery and your loyalty to your friend. He is lucky to have you and I hope he makes a recovery. I was perhaps thirteen, and it never really hit me, because a I was so young and b I was absolutely terrible with girls and tended to simply run away from her whenever I saw her, I was so nervous. I would do the same thing, were it one of my friends, the ones I love so very much. Just know that we are all here for you and we are all forgiving and we all love you.
You are taking a step back, selflessly, and taking care of someone you love. I wish you and your friend the best, and as many good days as you can possibly have together. When I first started reading the blog, I immediately thought of Becca, then I read more, and saw you did too. I re-read her emails, texts, listen to her voicemails and look at photos all the time. I too was texting her shortly before she passed. We were planning a meet up in NYC, it had been so long since I had seen her. Also because of recording and so on.
And before I knew it, my best friend had suddenly and soul shakily left this earth in her sleep. Nothing has ever been as hard as losing B, and I so I feel for you on so many levels. Both being so close to her, and how you must be feeling now with your friend Anthony not being well. Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Strive to be happy. I wish you the best of luck on this journey, and send miracle healing vibes to Anthony. My love to you and all.
Popping my posting cherry and swallowing my dislike of random internet messaging. AFP, you are showing amazing integrity as an artist, and as a human being. Not sure which is more rare these days. I doff my cap with much respect. Meine Freundin und ich sind in dem Konzert in Amsterdam gewesen. Es war, auch wenn Du Dich selbst angespornt hast — oder gerade deswegen — zu sehen, dass es Dir nicht gut ging.
Es hat uns so sehr leid getan…. I am so sorry to hear about his current situation. Cancer is a terrible disease. But it shows just how big your heart it is Amanda. You always put everybody else before yourself. And it shows through in your amazing music. Your music and your wonderful fans will be there when you get back. But please know that we totally understand that everything else is secondary when it comes to friends and family.
I am sending you thoughts, prayers and as many good vibes as possible. Anthony is very lucky to have a loving friend like you in his corner. As a homebound patient living with a debilitating chronic illness, I just wish I had a friend like you. Aside from my loneliness, I genuinely worry that someday when I am gone, these people who love me will be angry with themselves and wish they took those couple of hours to be here with me when they had a chance. I think you are definitely doing the right thing. When you are sick like I am, your world becomes very small, and the lack of energy limits your ability to participate.
You quickly learn to cut all the bullshit and focus on what and who really matters. One extremely valuable one is this: The ones who really love and understand or try to understand you will accept you as is. I wish your friend good health, and again, if only we could all be so lucky to have a friend like you by our side. Everyday I see people struggle to find the 24 hour support system they need during treatment. I applaud you, and wish your friend strength, peace, and most of all a success. Darling, this got me in tears!
I have been in love with you and your music since my lil freshmen highschooler self discovered Half Jack and finally felt like someone understood me. Ur right, ur NOT letting us down. U are making the BEST decision and it will work itself out. We will wait for you, we will always stand by your side. That will never change. Not some celebrity puppet. Take time off and make the most of this time.
Everything happens for a reason, love. Ur friend dying so randomly was a sign — learn from it. You do whatever you have and need to do. We will still be here whenever it is you decide to tour again. Ten years ago I lost my Mother to cancer and regret is not something I ever wanted to live with. You are right—you are right about your decision, and you are right about your fans. If anyone would understand, it is they we!
We love you, not only because you are a great artist, we love you mainly because you are a great person. We would not except you to act differently. Take care of your friend, and our best wishes will be with both of you. My best to you and Anthony. I sincerely wish you — and Anthony — all the strength in the world.
When I was sixteen, in high school, going through some incredibly painful shit myself, I got word from my stepmother that my father was very ill. No one knew to screen blood back then. The Universe in a Box: El Universo Representado en Una Caja: O Universo Representado em Uma Caixa: This is a report of an activity of introduction to the study of Astronomy developed with a group of future Physics teachers at a Brazilian public university.
Such activity had the goal of giving privileged emphasis to notions of spatiality, alternative conceptions of the participants and the process of interaction among peers, and consisted of the representation, in a three dimensional space, of the models of the universe that the participants had. The results, which were categorized as miscellaneous, geocentric, heliocentric and acentric models of the universe, were qualitatively analyzed.
Analyses of the activity in the perspective of the participants are indicated and additional considerations are made regarding its use as a resource for teaching Astronomy and for teacher training. Las profesiones de la salud tienen un papel social dual. Por el otro, dictaminan las formas saludables, y por lo tanto socialmente apropiadas , de ser, actuar y pensar. El objetivo de este estudio fue explorar la manera en que una muestra de profesionales de la salud en Puerto Rico construyen a las PVVS. Resumen Las profesiones de la salud tienen un papel social dual. A Diagnostic Assessment for the Teaching of Astronomy.
This article aims to present the results of a diagnostic evaluation, used as a tool for collecting data on prior knowledge of scientific concepts needed to understand the topic "Earth and Universe", from a group comprised of 47 students of 6th grade. The educational method of diagnosing the student's prior knowledge before teaching them is founded on the Meaningful Learning theory, proposed by David Ausubel. The diagnostic evaluation consisted of 25 questions; the answers were analyzed and categorized, making possible their interpretation, which allows us to understand the meanings assigned by the student to these concepts.
It follows from the diagnostic evaluation, that the majority of students surveyed had difficulties in exposing scientific concepts on the topic "Earth and Universe" when starting the 6th grade. However, we identified relevant ideas and representations that contributed to the re-signification of scientific concepts proposed for the teaching of the subject in this grade.
The results of diagnostic evaluation served as reference to the organization of the syllabus, making possible the learning process by matching the sequence of teaching to the students" characteristics and context of the classroom. It is expected that other researchers in this topic can also use the instrument presented in this paper. De esta manera, controlando en amplitud y fase el modo "leaky" se puede obtener un control efectivo sobre el diagrama de radiacion del dispositivo. Ademas, con el objetivo de poder obtener de una manera mas eficiente las caracteristicas de propagacion de los modos de fuga "leaky" en funcion de los principales parametros geometricos de la estructura, se han desarrollado diversas herramientas de analisis modal basadas en la tecnica de resonancia transversa de la estructura.
La capacidad para obtener un control simultaneo de la constante de propagacion compleja del modo "leaky", ha sido demostrada mediante el diseno y fabricacion de varios tipos de antena "leaky wave" LWA y de otros dispositivos como multiplexores y sistemas de enfoque en campo cercano. Para ello, se ha utilizado la tecnologia planar de guia de onda integrada en sustrato susbstrate integrated waveguide, SIW.
Esta recientemente desarrollada tecnologia , permite disenar dispositivos de microondas basados en tecnologia clasica de guia de ondas con sistemas de fabricacion estandar usados en tecnologia de circuitos impresos printed circuit board, PCB. De esta forma, se pueden integrar en un mismo sustrato muchas de las diferentes partes que forman un sistema de comunicaciones, mejorando asi su robustez y compactibilidad, ademas de reducir el coste y de contar con menores perdidas que otras tecnologias planares como la microstrip.
Learning about the Sky from the Environment: It was a continuous work from February to December , which led the students to participate in activities of observation of the environment, specifically the sky, analyzing the changes occurred. We focused on the study of variations in temperature, rainfall, day length, variations in the size of the shadows and changes in the aspect of the Moon. Our focus of analysis targeted the discussion of the knowledge that these students had about the topics indicated and as they entered the stage during the implementation of the proposal.
The results showed a limited perception that students have of their environment, however, lately expanded due to the undertaken activities, especially in relation to the Moon. Working with systematic measure procedures reveals the careful handling of data so that they become understandable to students, and working with the shadows points towards the students first understand how shadows are formed, and then apply this knowledge to Astronomy. Finally, we conclude that the lived process consisted of an initial step of a work that should be encouraged for the subsequent years of training of these students.

Desarrollo de un instrumento para medir percepciones sobre el contexto de construccion del conocimiento cientifico de estudiantes universitarios de nuevo ingreso. En esta investigacion, se desarrollo un instrumento que permite medir percepciones relacionadas al contexto de constriccion del conocimiento cientifico.
Se examinaron instrumentos existentes y se encontro que el VOSTS Views on science, technology, and society , instrumento desarrollado empiricamente en Canada por Aikenhead, Ryan y Fleming, podia traducirse y validarse en el contexto cultural puertorriqueno. El instrumento es extenso, consta de reactivos, cada uno con una premisa basica relacionada a la tematica ciencia, tecnologia y sociedad y un numero de alternativas relacionadas a la premisa que oscila entre siete y trece. Se delimito su utilizacion a los quince reactivos identificados por los autores como relacionados a la construccion social del conocimiento cientifico.
Metodologicamente, se procedio a utilizar el modelo de adaptacion intercultural, que permite que el instrumento desarrollado satisfaga las dimensiones de equivalencia semantica, de contenido, tecnica, de criterio y conceptual, atemperado asi al instrumento original. Se cumplio con este proposito mediante la traduccion de la version original en ingles al espanol y viceversa. Se utilizaron comites para examinar la traduccion y la retro-traduccion del instrumento. Se realizo una prueba piloto con estudiantes universitarios de nuevo ingreso, utilizando el instrumento traducido para asegurar su intelegibilidad.
La confiabilidad del instrumento se determino mediante la intervencion de un panel de expertos quienes clasificaron las distintas posiciones dentro de cada reactivo en: Se suministro el instrumento a una muestra de estudiantes universitarios de nuevo ingreso con caracteristicas similares a las de la poblacion puertorriquena en cuanto a ejecucion en las pruebas de aptitud verbal y matematica del College Board.

Analisis experimental de la propagacion en redes de area corporal para la banda de ultra wideband. Diferentes dispositivos capaces de obtener informacion sobre parametros fisiologicos, cinematicos o contextuales del cuerpo pueden interconectarse de manera inalambrica dando lugar a las denominadas Redes de Area Corporal Inalambricas WBAN, Wireless Body Area Networks. El diseno de sistemas centrados en el cuerpo requiere de modelos de canal que describan de manera precisa la propagacion de senales en este tipo de entornos.
Esta tesis se plantea con el objetivo de contribuir al estudio experimental de la propagacion en sistemas centrados en el cuerpo operando en la banda UWB. En primer lugar, se presenta un marco introductorio a las redes WBAN, sus elementos constitutivos, bandas de frecuencia, estandarizacion y modelos de canal. Ademas, se introducen los fundamentos de la tecnologia UWB y sus aplicaciones en este area.
Seguidamente, se analiza en terminos de las perdidas de propagacion y la dispersion de retardo la propagacion en el canal off-body entre un transmisor fijo y un dispositivo receptor colocado sobre la superficie del cuerpo de un sujeto. Se considera la influencia de diferentes aspectos, tales como el entorno de medidas, la posicion de colocacion de una antena sobre el cuerpo y la postura adoptada por un sujeto. Finalmente, se analiza el canal de propagacion in-body considerando el movimiento relativo entre dos dispositivos causado por efecto de la respiracion.

Muestras recolectadas pasando una red sobre vegetacion mezclada, cortando la vegetacion y tomando centros del suelo fueron dominados por representantes de artropodos de los ordenes de Hemiptera, Hymenoptera, Diptera, y Acari. Nematodos en el genero Pratylenchus, que causan lesiones sobre tejido, fueron asociados regularmente con las raices de conota. Ninguno de los organismos recolectados eran especialistas sobre conota. Aunque el control biologico clasico de la conota es factible basado sobre la magnitud de la infestacion, las perdidas economicas, la resistencia hacia los metodos de control convencionales y el informe en la India de un posible enemigo natural especifico a esta planta, la posicion botanica de este pasto maleza requiere una evaluacion de riesgo economico formal antes de continuar con un programa de control biologico clasico.

Historia de vidas de profesoras de ciencias: Hacia una ensenanza cientifica de calidad. The purpose of this research was to capture the memories, practices, thoughts and philosophies of education that four experienced Science teachers have accumulated through the years.
The life story qualitative research design was used in order to collect more meaningful information from the participants amenable to in depth analysis and interpretation. The life stories interviews were conducted using an interview protocol especially designed for the study. The interviews were recorded and transcribed. The questions that guided this research are: What are the meanings that science teachers give to their educational practices?
How did the life experiences of the participants contribute to their success as science teachers? How did the participants' educational practices change and evolve over time? What does teaching science mean in the life of the participants? Which reflections arise from the work of the participants that impact the teaching of science?
What are the participants' conceptions about teachers' professional development? What are the participants' contributions to the field of scientific education? Wolcott's DAI analytical model was used for the analysis of the information and the narratives were written following the three dimensions of the model: According to the life stories of the participants, being a teacher requires more than teaching the content.
To be a successful and an exemplary science teacher, they have to live the teaching vocation, with dedication, passion, commitment and love for teaching, for students and science; teachers have to give their best for the students, even if it means making personal sacrifices; they should keep updated in knowledge content and in educational innovations strategies ; emphasizing both the theoretical and the practical aspects in the field of science, and being an inspirational guide for students.

So-called predatory publishing is a new and rising phenomenon presenting as an intellectual fraud that jeopardises the quality of scientific contribution, compromises the activity of authors, reviewers and editors of legitimate journals, damages the image of open access publications and is a very profitable business. In this paper, we review the concept and relevance of predatory journals and the characteristics that differentiate them from legitimate publications.
Neurosurgical and general neuroscience journals are not immune to this problem. Academic institutions and ethics committees have a duty to raise awareness of this phenomenon and provide information and support to authors and the whole scientific community to avoid its propagation and potential control of biomedical publishing.

This article offers a linguistic and paralinguistic explication of the oral practice of chismeando gossiping as engaged in by a group of women from the Dominican Republic. The latest terrorist attacks in Europe and in the rest of the world, and the military experience in the most recent conflicts leave us with several lessons learned. The most important is that the fate of the wounded rests in the hands of the one who applies the first dressing, because the victims usually die within the first 10 minutes, before professional care providers or police personnel arrive at the scene.
A second lesson is that the primary cause of preventable death in these types of incidents involving explosives and firearms is massive hemorraghe. There is a need to develop a training oriented to citizens so they can identify and use available resources to avoid preventable deaths that occur in this kind of incidents, especially massive hemorrhage. A 7-hour training intervention program was developed and conducted between January and May Data were collected from participants' answers on a multiple-choice test before and after undertaking the training.

Meetings - Publications - Membership. A model for dose optimisation for improved sterile insect quality. The sterile insect technique SIT is an environment-friendly pest control technique with application in the area-wide integrated control of key pests, including the suppression or elimination of introduced populations and the exclusion of new introductions.
Reproductive sterility is normally induced by ionizing radiation, a convenient and consistent method that maintains a reasonable degree of competitiveness in the released insects. The cost and effectiveness of a control program integrating the SIT depend on the balance between sterility and competitiveness, but it appears that current operational programs with an SIT component are not achieving an appropriate balance.
La esterilidad reproductiva es normalmente inducida por radiacion ionizada, un metodo conveniente y consistente que mantiene un grado razonable para la capacidad de competencia en insectos liberados. El costo y la eficacia de un programa de control que incluye TIE dependen en tener un balance entre la esterilidad y la capacidad para competir, pero parece que los programas operacionales corrientes con TIS como un componente no estan logrando el tener un balance apropiado. En esta publicacion, nosotros discutimos la optimizacion del proceso de esterilizacion y presentamos un modelo y procedimiento sencillos para determinar la dosis optima.

December 5, , http: Adapting and improving resilience to climate change in communities moravian community as a pilot , by creating new capabilities based on the implementation of a new water culture; protection and management of natural resources.
Water, in all its dimensions and scope, concerns humans as civilization, individuals and communities immersed in an environment that faces serious environmental threats and changes. The efficient way to deal with this crisis is education of present and future generations, breaking paradigms, creating awareness and new development models, seeking community groups and forces to empower their water resource and care, manage and renew it in an efficient and sustainable manner.
The multiple uses of water in personal uses, irrigation, agro-industry and clean energy production, transforms this resource in a strategic element to any nation. CeNAT and CTFV have developed distinguished efforts to improve the Moravians quality of life, and this has led the initiative of constitution of a whole education and training project in rescuing the Upper Basin of the Rio Tarcoles, through the implementation of an ecological - recreative garden "Parque Comunitario Pulmon Verde de Moravia" , fostersing good use of natural resources, and also works as a platform for training and awareness program in Sustainable Development, based on "Hacia una Nueva Cultura del Agua" powered through the United Nations by Dr.
This initiative is projected to the national and international communities, through the "Water International Conference", which propel initiatives, laws and decisions which enable the development of Costa Rica and other countries under a sustainable model, focused on this essential component for life on the planet. Contribuciones tecnicas para la medida de la contaminacion electromagnetica de microondas.
Estudio en diversas poblaciones. La contaminacion ambiental por campos electromagneticos ha resultado ser en estos ultimos anos uno de los problemas mas acuciantes del panorama tecnologico y de salud publica. En el primero de los casos porque las inversiones realizadas son enormes y en el segundo porque cada vez es mayor el numero de articulos, "technical reports" e informes medicos que afirman la existencia de una cierta causalidad, aunque sea debil, entre los campos electromagneticos y ciertos cuadros sintomatologicos.
En esta memoria presentamos un resumen del trabajo realizado durante los ultimos anos en la medida de la contaminacion electromagnetica ambiental asociado a las comunicaciones inalambricas. En ella se recogen los fundamentos fisicos y propiedades de las ondas electromagneticas, la tecnologia empleada en los sistemas de telefonia celular y los antecedentes relativos a la investigacion de la interaccion de las ondas electromagneticas con organismos vivos.
Se desarrolla un procedimiento de medida que ha conducido a la elaboracion de los primeros "mapas de radiofrecuencia" similares, en el aspecto descriptivo, a los mapas de ruido desarrollados en el area de la contaminacion acustica. Por ultimo, se analiza la respuesta subjetiva de los residentes, personas que viven en el entorno de cobertura de las estaciones base de telefonia movil y que se ven sometidos a determinados niveles de radiacion electromagnetica, con el fin de situar este fenomeno al nivel que le corresponde en el ambito de la respuesta subjetiva ciudadana.

However, new observations under sub-arcsec seeing conditions ESO 3. The incidence of these structures on the anomalous profile of N50 is discussed, as well as the particular evolutive stage of this galaxy within the dE-BCD relation. The goal of this research was to evaluate nutrition education targeting Latinas, a group at particular risk of obesity and diabetes, which predict to later life cardiovascular disease and dementia.
Culturally tailored, theory-based nutrition education was provided to Mexican origin Latinas aged 48 to The randomized design compared participants in workshops incorporating the connection between dietary fat and brain health, participants in workshops focusing only on dietary fat and heart health, a waitlist control group, and a posttest only control group. Among those assigned to either intervention, there was statistically significant gain in health literacy, knowledge about dietary fat, and behaviors to reduce dietary fat compared with waitlist control.
There was no difference in outcomes between those given the module about diet and brain health and those not provided that module. A program to encourage dietary fat modification in Latinas proved feasible and modestly effective.
