March 2014 - San Juan Capistrano CA
We drove to this charming town to visit the Mission. I have no idea why I know the song about the swallows, I think my parents probably sang it. Or I heard it on the Lawrence Welk show *yikes*!
I will post several accounts of Capistrano as we took so many photos. The churches I will post separately as well as the town.
The miracle of the “Swallows” of Capistrano takes place each year at Mission San Juan Capistrano, on March 19th, St. Joseph’s Day.
As the faithful little birds wing their way back to the most famous mission in California, the village of San Juan Capistrano takes on a fiesta air and the visitors from all parts of the world, and all walks of life, gather in great numbers to witness the “miracle” of the return of the swallows.
At dawn on St. Joseph’s Day, the little birds arrive and begin rebuilding their mud nests, which are clinging to the ruins of the Great Stone Church of San Juan Capistrano. The arches of the two story, vaulted Great Stone Church were left bare and exposed, as the roof collapsed during the earthquake of 1812.

Mission San Juan Capistrano was founded on All Saints' Day November 1, 1776, by Spanish Catholics of the Franciscan Order. Named for Giovanni da Capistrano, a 15th-century theologian and "warrior priest" who resided in the Abruzzo region of Italy, San Juan Capistrano has the distinction of being home to the oldest building in California still in use, a chapel built in 1782.
The Right Reverend St. John O'Sullivan (March 19, 1874 – July 22, 1933] was a Catholic priest who personally undertook the restoration of the old Mission San Juan Capistrano in California.
O'Sullivan was born in Louisville, Kentucky. From his given name and place of birth, it can be presumed that he was partially descended from the English Catholic settlers of Maryland who later helped to settle Western Kentucky. He then attended the University of Notre Dame in Indiana. While there he determined to become a priest, and was accepted by his home Diocese of Louisville. He enrolled in Saint Bernard's Seminary in Rochester, New York, to do his theological studies, graduating in 1904, when he was ordained by the Bishop of Louisville, William George McCloskey.
Within months of his ordination, O'Sullivan was diagnosed as suffering from tuberculosis, and advised that his prognosis was poor. He decided to seek a drier climate in order to cope better with the disease and, with his bishop's permission, moved to the American Southwest. He helped in various parishes in Texas and Arizona. In this way, he came to know the Rev. Alfred Quetu, the Catholic pastor of Prescott, Arizona, The pastor suggested that O'Sullivan might find the abandoned Mission San Juan Capistrano in California might provide him an place for him to exercise his ministry in a manner compatible with his health. O'Sullivan traveled to the Mission, where he fell in love with the site.
The Criolla or "Mission grape," was first planted at San Juan Capistrano in 1779; in 1783, the first wine produced in Alta California emerged from the Mission's winery.
The Great Stone Church, said to be the largest and most ornate in any of the missions, now has a more humble destiny -- that of housing the birds that St. Francis loved so well.
Bells were vitally important to daily life at any mission. The bells were rung at mealtimes, to call the Mission residents to work and to religious services, during births and funerals, to signal the approach of a ship or returning missionary, and at other times; novices were instructed in the intricate rituals associated with the ringing the mission bells. The original bells were hung from a large nearby tree for some fifteen years, until the chapel bell tower was completed in 1791. What ultimately became of the original bells is not known. New bells were cast in Chile for inclusion in the belfry of "The Great Stone Church." All four of Mission San Juan Capistrano's bells are named and all bear inscriptions as follows (from the largest to the smallest; inscriptions are translated from Latin):
"Praised by Jesus, San Vicente. In honor of the Reverend Fathers, Ministers (of the Mission) Fray Vicente Fustér, and Fray Juan Santiago, 1796."
"Hail Mary most pure. Ruelas made me, and I am called San Juan, 1796."
"Hail Mary most pure, San Antonio, 1804."
"Hail Mary most pure, San Rafael, 1804."
In the aftermath of the 1812 earthquake, the two largest bells cracked and split open. Due to this damage neither produced clear tones. Regardless, they were hung in the campanario that went up the following year. During the Mission's heyday, a lone bell also hung at the west end of the front corridor, next to an entrance gate which has long since eroded away. One of Father O' Sullivan's companions during his tenure at San Juan Capistrano was José de Gracia Cruz, better known as Acú, who related many stories and legends of the Mission. A descendent of the Juaneño Indians, he served as the Mission's bell ringer until his death in 1924.
We went there when I was 4! I think my dad wanted to go because of the song. That St. Francis statue seems familiar -- I wonder if we saw it.ReplyDelete

BEING overweight almost doubles the risk of womb cancer, research suggests.
The findings, from the University of Bristol and funded by Cancer Research UK, reveal that for every five extra body mass index units, a woman’s risk from the disease is heightened by 88 per cent.
An increase of five BMI units is equivalent to the difference between the overweight (25 to 29.9) and obese (30 or above) category.
Researchers looked at DNA samples from around 120,000 women from around the world, of which around 13,000 had womb cancer.
They discovered that those who had been overweight throughout their life had genetic differences that increased their levels of testosterone and fasting insulin, which in turn raised their risk of developing womb cancer.
Emma Hazelwood, lead author, said by pinpointing exactly how obesity increases the probability of cancer, such as through these hormones, scientists could use drugs to prevent further risk.
The disease kills around 2,400 women a year in Britain.

Appleseed is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Masamune Shirow. The series follows the adventures of ESWAT members Deunan Knute and Briareos Hecatonchires in Olympus. Like much of Masamune’s work, Appleseed merges elements of the cyberpunk and mecha genres with a heavy dose of politics, philosophy, and sociology. The series spans four volumes, released between 1985 and 1989.
Originally published in Japan in 1985, Book One Appleseed: The Promethean Challenge was published directly to paperback instead of being serialized, a rarity in the Japanese manga market. This was soon followed by the publication of Book Two, Appleseed: Prometheus Unbound, Book Three Appleseed: The Scales of Prometheus in 1987, and Book Four Appleseed: The Promethean Balance in 1989. Rumors of a possible Volume 5 still persist today, though Shirow had mentioned that he has no plans of pursuing it for the meantime. From 1988 to 1992, Appleseed was published in English by Eclipse Comics, packaged by Studio Proteus. The manga is currently published by Dark Horse Comics. In 2004, a special edition compiling the first two volumes was released, under the title Appleseed 01&02.
Appleseed takes place in the 22nd Century, after the non-nuclear Third World War has decimated the Earth. While countries like Great Britain, USA and China have difficulty maintaining order and power, international organizations like the “Sacred Republic of Munma” and “Poseidon” have been established in the aftermath.
The main characters are Deunan Knute and Briareos Hecatonchires, former SWAT members of the LAPD. They are found in the desolated city and invited to join the prestigious ESWAT (Extra Special Weapons And Tactics) organization in the utopian city of Olympus, the new world’s most powerful state. Roughly one half of Olympus’s population are bionically augmented.
The series follows Deunan and Briareos as they protect their new home from both foreign and domestic threats to its security.

Collagen is a substance that appears naturally in the body, but some people take supplements to increase their levels, especially since the amount of collagen in the body tends to decrease as people age. One of the benefits associated with taking collagen supplements is the ability to look younger because of thicker skin creased with fewer wrinkles. Thin lips, dull hair and brittle nails also can be improved with extra collagen, allowing patients to look and feel healthier and more attractive. Some people also take these kinds of nutritional supplements to reduce joint pain and aid tendons and ligaments.
One of the most popular uses of collagen supplements is to get rid of wrinkles on the face. As people age, their skin loses elasticity because of a gradual reduction in collagen, usually resulting in fine lines and wrinkles. Thin, loose skin is believed to be firmed up with collagen supplementation, making wrinkles and fine lines less apparent. For this reason, some lotions feature collagen as one of their main ingredients, though some people prefer to take pills packed with this nutrient and there is some debate about whether collagen found in moisturizers actually does any good.
There are other cosmetic benefits that collagen boasts, because the skin is not the only body part that may look better after supplementation. For example, some people opt to get collagen injected into their lips to plump them up. In addition, the nails tend to become brittle with age, but collagen supplements can make them stronger and more elastic, meaning they break less easily. Similarly, hair often becomes thicker and shinier after supplementation, which is typically helpful among those whose hair has become thin and dull with age. Therefore, many products for the nails and hair include collagen, which can usually be rubbed directly onto the surface of these body parts for a more direct effect.
Additional benefits of the supplements have more to do with overall health than appearance. For instance, some patients take collagen supplements to get rid of pain with movement, especially in the joints. This substance is said to increase the elasticity and strength in both the muscles and joints, making it easier to move and to recuperate from injuries. This is because the cartilage needs the right amount of collagen to provide proper cushioning for the joints. Other types of connective tissue, such as tendons and ligaments, also may benefit from extra collagen, which can make it possible for older patients to stretch, exercise and heal.

Recently, Russia’s communications watchdog Roskomnadzor ruled to block the Telegram messenger app after the company had refused to provide the Russia Federal Security Service (FSB) with encryption keys to decipher messages, explaining that it simply could not do so, because keys to each specific chat are stored on users' devices. Telegram’s CEO Pavel Durov called the watchdog’s decision "unconstitutional" and insisted that he would keep defending the right of the Russian people to secret correspondence.
"Some EU officials are using Telegram. It also seems to me that during the last French presidential election campaign this channel was used for communication security. Nevertheless, Mounir Mahjoubi, a Digital Technology Secretary, has recently offered to use an encrypted messenger for the country’s domestic services instead. That’s one of the considered Telegram alternatives," Yannick Harrel said.
"There’s no need to be delusional – even if Telegram is over it will be replaced by some other apps. It’s a never-ending fight as there is the so-called “innovative poison” no matter where it’s from – Russia, the US etc. 200 million Telegram users have needs that are now going to be catered by its competitors," the ITU expert noted.
Before the messenger was bocked, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the Kremlin considers the Telegram messenger convenient and uses it, noting, however, that the government might look for alternatives to the app.
"Russia wasn’t the only country to make this claim [to block the messenger]. Some other states have already raised such demands: Germany, France, China, Bahrain, Indonesia and, recently, Iran. Everybody’s worried about how to combine the privacy of the conversation with the need to fight organized crime. We speak here of an entire group of services around Telegram log file, that functions on various devices including mobile phones. As the system is decentralized, it may be banned in one country but allowed in another one. The ban can be bypassed via some alternative channels. It’s hard to get in the way of using this app as there are ways to bypass the ban," Harrel said.
"The new European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) [due to come into operation on 25 May, 2018] is to become another bitter blow on Facebook with its monthly audience of 2 billion users. It will have to be much more transparent. There’s a small revolution coming. It’s quite likely that some of those who have joint the #DeleteFacebook campaign are going to use Telegram or the messengers that will replace it as people realize that their data may be used to make profit. Everything written in personal chats can be used for commercial purposes or by the Government," the ITU expert explained.

The power of singing
In 2010, a study into singing as a therapy for chronic respiratory disease concluded that singing classes can improve quality of life and reduce anxiety for patients with respiratory diseases, including COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).
The study was funded by rb&hArts which is the arts programme at Royal Brompton and Harefields hospitals. Patients who took part described the positive effect singing had on their general wellbeing, the sense of community support they felt in the classes, and the feeling of achievement that taking part in the classes gave them.
With the benefits of singing proven, the NHS Foundation Trust launched ‘Singing for Breathing’ – a flagship project which supports people living with chronic heart and lung conditions.
Sonia Campbell was diagnosed with PH in 2006 and attends weekly Singing for Breathing sessions. Here, she talks to Charlotte Goldthorpe about how singing has improved her wellbeing and helps control her symptoms of breathlessness.
Why did you start attending the singing group?
I became aware of the group when I was referred to the Royal Brompton, but it took a while before I started attending the group. I have now been attending for over five years and intend to continue as long as I am able. I have never regretted joining the group and try not to miss sessions, although I have to at times.
Who attends your singing group?
People of various ages can attend, with both inpatients and outpatients encouraged to join the group. The variety of the attendees reflects the wide group of people with lung diseases at the hospital. I am not certain if I am the only one with PH – some people are asthmatic, have COPD or other lung diseases. It’s a great place to meet new people from different walks of life, but who share a common interest in wanting to learn how to improve their breathing.
Even people who have fairly busy social lives still find time to come to the sessions regularly because it gives them a sense of belonging. There’s normally about 11 or 12 of us, but we do sometimes get nearer 20.
Who teaches the classes?
The group leaders are mostly professional singers and teachers who are trained and accredited by the British Lung Foundation.
Can you describe a typical singing session?
Each session lasts around one hour and we start by greeting each other and making sure everyone is feeling comfortable. We normally do around 20 minutes of various movement and breathing exercises, concentrating on using the breath to its full extent. Exercise is important because it improves the way you breathe. Everyone is taught the same technique for managing breathing, so if we experience shortness of breath or start to panic we can calm ourselves down. This is followed by singing a variety of songs including ballads and pop music to practice breathing techniques.
It’s important that each group member goes at their own pace and the group leader is ever mindful of this, while making sure we are improving our breathing. For example, someone struggling to hold the notes, or sing for the full hour can stop and join in when they’ve caught their breath back. Learning to sing requires plenty of breathing and posture control. Water is always available if needed at each session and we stand to sing at times or choose to remain seated.
All exercises we learn during the sessions are useful in our day-to-day lives, as being breathless is ever-present due to our lung conditions. I used to get headaches when I first became ill with PH, but since starting the singing for breathing classes I don’t have them anymore. We can all look pretty well during the class, but have our own challenges breathing when we’re out and about.
Do you have any advice for PH patients considering singing as therapy for PH?
I would encourage others to go ahead and try a class near you. Singing classes help you get out and about, meet new people and improve breathing. It also helps improve your confidence which can be greatly dented after a serious period of illness, especially PH which is little-known.
Don’t be put off if you think you can’t sing, because you can. Some people can get caught up in their illness, but singing takes your mind away from what’s worrying you.
You also might get the opportunity to showcase your singing as part of a show. At Brompton we sing a few Christmas songs around the wards each year and take part in their fundraising concert. During the NHS 70th birthday celebrations we also sang on the wards and in the foyer and people joined in with us. We all got a real sense of achievement from doing it.
Friends and family members are welcome to attend our session at Royal Brompton, so it’s worth asking your teacher whether you can take someone along to support you. The feel-good factor is no doubt a benefit to all.
What are the main benefits you’ve experienced from attending the singing group?
Vocal coaching can not only help with your breathing, but it brings many psychological benefits too. Attending weekly sessions puts some regularity into your day and meeting like-minded people stops you from feeling lonely and isolated.
I’ve made so many friends in the group and it’s great to feel a sense of achievement when we make music together.

An investigation by the Global Fund for HIV/AIDs, Tuberculosis and Malaria, on Friday, May 6, 2016, uncovered systematic stealing, fraud, and embezzlement worth $3.82 million by Department of Planning, Research and Statistics (DPRS) of the Federal Ministry of Health. The money is worth N591.5m in Nigerian currency.
The ministry is accusing staff and consultants assigned to a Global Fund finance programme to establish National Health Management System at sites supported by the fund.
Daily Trust reports that seven DPRS staff and three consultants assigned to the programme were involved or linked to the misappropriation of the funds, investigators said in their report.
The Fund’s inspector general initiated the investigation after a spot-check of $1.3 million of DPRS spending from July 2012 to December 2013 found two-thirds of it were “forged or missing supporting documentation.”
DPRS was to implement and administer a web-based reporting platform known as the District Health Information System (DHIS) and its staff and consultants were to train and provide support to users, termed service delivery.
Under that heading, its activities involved extensive travel throughout several states and some procurement of supplies.
Its spending was meant to come through the National Agency for the Control of HiV/AIDS (NACA) which received $330.8 million, according to GF accounts.
Between 2010 when the grant started and late 2014, DPRS spent a total $4.03m. Out of that amount, $3.82m was on delivering its services.
But the latest investigations found “some form of irregularity or fraud” in more than half the vouchers spanning 2010 to 2014.
At least 202 payment vouchers out of 355 had “some form of irregularity of fraud”, the report said.
The vouchers account for 77% of total funds spent on service deliveries of $3.8 million.

At the Student Government Association (SGA) Business Startup Seminar held on November 22, 2019, participating students learned managerial skills to enhance their businesses.
The seminar was held in partnership with the AUN Center for Entrepreneurship. The event was embedded within the celebration of the Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) for 2019. The week is celebrated every year in November around the world.
The President of the Student Government Association, Taslim Oladoja, explained that the GEW is the largest celebration of innovators, job creators who own businesses or want to launch startups to drive economic growth in the world.
He said the SGA designed the event to lay an introduction for a unique product of the association coming up next semester.
"This is particularly an introduction to help us explore potentials within ourselves as self-starters and innovators within the business world."
During his term as President, he plans to create a platform where students will have the opportunity of running their businesses in a permanent site outside the campus.
He added that it is a way of helping student entrepreneurs think big and be supported to make a mark in the world of business.
"When this platform launches, your businesses are going to be known not only within the four walls of AUN but outside under this umbrella."
Director of the Center, Dr. Lukman Raimi, told the participants that to grow their businesses, they must have a good understanding of managerial skills.
"No matter the sophistication of your businesses, employees, equipment, and marketing plan, if the owners lack managerial skills, the business will not record the required growth and development."
Vice President of Finance & Administration Olanipekun Olanrewaju, gave tips on business success to the participants.
"Read as widely as possible."
Among the books he recommended is the Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peal.
"Such books prepare you in advance for the challenges you will find in the world of business."
He then presented certificates to speakers at the seminar.

Work in Process explores themes such as: identity, sexuality, gentrification and memory. In part it is a culmination of the 3-month residency at Kupfer.
Dominic Myatt’s works weave through memory and sexuality. Myatt explores a dialogue of anxiety and tension between their paintings and sculptures, punctuated with cartoon like humour. As a colour-blind artist, Dominic used the residency to expand the colour palettes they work with through a supported process of research and feedback.
Through an oral history documentary film and accompanying photographic works Damilola Lemomu platforms the voices of Hackney local groups including: Interlink Foundation supporting the Orthodox Jewish community, Laburnum Boat Club and Girls Friendly Society among others. She creates a space for Hackney local communities to speak of their experiences of gentrification and invites audiences to consider the varied iterations of a ‘sense of home’.
Exploring themes of identity, diaspora and familial connections Abi Ola presents textile-based, photographic and sculptural works. During the residency Abi developed work and research into West-African textiles and the use of emojis as pictographic communication.
Mengxi Zhang works with mixed-media paintings and sculptures which reveal her intuitive making. For Mengxi, the residency created an incubator for her making process as she experimented with new materials and observations, considering body surfaces as a boundary between the inside and the outside, and painting surfaces as a link between the outside word and the self.

March 22, 2005— -- Michael Jackson's doctor has assured the judge presiding over his child molestation trial that "The King of Pop" is suffering from a physical, not a mental, problem, and that despite his back problems and the revelation that he is on prescribed pain medication, the singer is able to concentrate and participate in his trial, sources told ABC News.
A weary-looking Jackson showed up approximately five minutes late for court Monday, walking gingerly into the Santa Barbara County, Calif., courthouse with the help of his aides. The singer, 46, is standing trial for allegedly molesting a now-15-year-old boy who spent time at the Jackson's Neverland ranch in California and appeared with him on the 2003 British documentary "Living With Michael Jackson." Jackson has pleaded not guilty to 10 charges that include felony conspiracy with 28 overt acts involving child abduction, false imprisonment and extortion.
Jackson's representatives say that he has been suffering from persistent back pain since he suffered a mishap while getting dressed for court on March 10. On that day, Jackson narrowly avoided arrest and having his $3 million bail revoked when he went to the hospital for his back pain and did not show up on time for court. Santa Barbara Superior Court Judge Rodney S. Melville, who is presiding over the trial, put out a bench warrant for Jackson's arrest, prompting the singer to appear in court in his pajama bottoms and sandals.
On Monday, Jackson appeared to be in pain, but was dressed in his formal clothes as his bodyguards helped him into the courthouse. His doctor, Bert Weiner, appeared at the courthouse in scrubs. Just before testimony began, Jackson appeared to tremble and weep at the counsel table before being escorted out of the courtroom. Weiner, Jackson's defense attorneys and prosecutors then conferred with Melville in his chambers.
Weiner said that Jackson's ailment was not due to the stress of the trial.
"We know he's under a lot of stress," Weiner said. "I wouldn't say stress or emotional situations was much of a factor at all in the reason he came in."
When Jackson returned to the courtroom, Melville ordered testimony to resume without taking action against the singer and did not state the reasons for the court delay. Jackson stayed for the entire six-hour court session where a prosecution expert testified that it was not unusual for victims of child molestation to have inconsistent memories of the details of the alleged incident. Defense attorney Thomas Mesereau Jr. pointed out various inconsistencies in Jackson's accuser's account of the alleged molestation during cross-examination last week.
When testimony concluded and Jackson left the courthouse, he complained that he was in pain and that he was on medication "by way of a doctor." Jackson insiders told ABC News that they are concerned because Jackson admitted that he had been to rehab for addiction to prescription drugs more than 10 years ago, around the time when a 12-year-old boy made similar molestation allegations against him.
Jackson was never criminally charged in the 1993 scandal as prosecutors decided not to pursue the case after they said the alleged victim refused to testify. Jackson has always denied wrongdoing in that case and has denied ever harming children. He settled a civil suit filed by the boy's family for a reported $20 million.
There is concern among Jackson's associates that the stress of the current case may cause further health problems for him, sources told ABC News.

I made these for Christmas Eve and they were great! The only thing I did differently was add some finely chopped onion and 2 cloves of fresh garlic instead of the powder. Thanks for the recipe!
I made these for a party last weekend. They do make an impressive presentation in the phyllo cups. Overall, we enjoyed them, but did feel like the parmesan in it was a bit overpowering. Next time I'll cut back on the parmesan, and add something to the mixture for some color (maybe finely chopped red bell peppers or green onions). Thanks, this will be an addition to my appetizers collection!
Loved them! I added a spoonful of miracle whip for zip. Othewise kept everything the same. They make it look like you're a top rated chef!

In my quest for wine bargains, I'm always on the lookout for sub-$20 reds to have with dinner on weeknights, a lazy Sunday with a book or while I'm sitting on the couch watching boxing. Thing is, I want my wine to be good. The 2007 vintage of Aneccop's "El Molinet" is just that wine. This wine is a tempranillo-based blend from Spain's Valencia region. I picked it up at Calvert Woodley in Washington, DC, for a whopping $15. I'd tasted a previous vintage and enjoyed it, so I thought it was worth a try.
My tasting notes...
2007 Anecoop Valencia El Molinet (Spain, Valencia)this wine has expressive aromatics, although it needed some time in the glass to show it's full stuff: blueberries, red plums, tobacco, and an aroma that reminds me of violets. on the palate, this has tangy acid, solid tannins and gushing red plum fruit. it's an elegant and balanced wine, and i'm really impressed by the overall quality. all the parts are in the right place. the smooth oak and vanilla adds a roundness to the mouthfeel. some dark chocolate shavings on the finish, also some grippy tannins. anyone with a palate will enjoy this wine. this should show well for a few more years, but why wait? it's showing wonderfully right now. 90 points - IJB
So, do yourself a favor: take $15 (c'mon, that's like 2.5 Starbucks drinks), buy this wine, sit down on a weeknight when you're watching Seinfeld re-runs and pour yourself a glass. I dare you not to enjoy yourself.

text: Wheat growers in Australia face several problems in trying to improve wheat yield not the least of which is lack of nutrients. Many of the soils in South Australia, Victoria, and New South Wales are naturally low in phosphorus. This fact coupled with high fertilizer costs and difficulty in finding good sources of phosphorus fertilizer make it difficult for growers to address this problem. A study was conducted at six locations across South Australia, Victoria, and New South Wales to examine wheat response to added phosphorus and to determine whether fertilizer additives would improve phosphorus uptake and fertilizer use efficiiency. Four rates of triple-super phosphate with and without the additive Avail were tested in a randomized complete block design with four replications. Tiller counts from each plot were recorded at flowering and wheat yield was measured. Results indicated that indeed added phosphorus increased the number of tillers produced by the plant and increased wheat yield. The use of the fertilizer additive Avail did increase tiller number compared to the same rate of phosphorus without the additive but did not result in a significant increase in wheat yield. Wheat growers in Australia would benefit from added phosphorus fertilizer through increases in wheat yield.

Where Nature Thrives
Balingup community moves on from the basics
Since the Balingup Small Farm Field Day began in 1991, run by a dedicated committee and local volunteers, it has showcased many aspects of small farming. This has included caring for the land and animals, growing trees and food, cooking with fresh local ingredients and creating fashion and crafts with natural products.
Moving ahead, after a cancellation due to COVID-19 in 2020, holding a smaller event in 2021 on the village green, then cancelling again in 2022, the Small Farm Field Day held the event back on the Town Oval in 2023. This was popular and well attended with more promises from others to come back in 2024.
2024 is running with the theme – Where Nature Thrives – and will showcase many features of small farming and living in a local community. There will be talks, demonstrations, commercial and market stalls, as well as a Kids’ Corner, music, wine, spirits, and cider tasting, pet zoo, livestock and heaps of food and coffee choices. Plus, we are bringing the scarecrow competition back after successfully running this last year and holding another fun competition for kids – to be announced later.
2024 will also offer visits to different farms over the weekend of 6/7 April showcasing different local skills, talent, and ingenuity.
The Balingup Small Farm Field Day committee of 2024 has a considerable amount of local experience and knowledge - they recognise that there are many people who have moved to the area recently, and together with the expertise of locals with the speakers, demonstrators and exhibitors visiting for the day, there is much to be shared for all.
This all helps building a positive, resilient community, with sustainable land management/farming practices, ultimately caring for the land and living a good life in rural communities.
Something for everyone
The profits made from the Balingup Small Farm Field Day help finance worthy community projects through the Balingup Progress Association

The mental health screening solution will enable the providers to enhance the identification of mental health symptoms and provide more effective treatments.
FREMONT, CA: Mental health assessments and screenings are vital for identifying and treating mental ailments. To take charge of their recovery, patients need to understand their illness. By leveraging practical mental health assessment tools, doctors can collaborate with the patients to diagnose their illness. Screening tests are robust tools for health providers to understand the mental state of the patient, and find the best solutions for any problems ailing them.
In a move to empower mental health providers, FEI Systems recently developed and deployed a critical online youth mental health screening tool for the State of Idaho. The provider of behavioral health information technology solutions delivers robust IT services to the Behavioral Health Division, Idaho Department of Health and Welfare. The State’s network of mental health clinics, providers, and administrative services organizations such as the Web Infrastructure for Treatment Services (WITS) leverage the behavioral health electronic record management system facilitated by FEI Systems.
FEI Systems is a premier provider of health information technology solutions for Federal agencies such as Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Health, and Human Services Administration, Administration for Community Living, and National Institutes of Health. FEI Systems collaborates with over 40 state and local government clients, implementing behavioral health applications, electronic health record systems, and innovative alternatives to traditional fee-for-service Medicaid programs.
The offerings have enabled the State of Idaho to enhance the process of helping families with troubled youth who might have unmet mental health needs and granting them access to robust treatment services. FEI partnered with the State of Idaho to facilitate the Idaho Children’s Mental Health (CMH) Screener.

Mental health assessments help in identifying symptoms and problems, forming mental health treatment plans, diagnosis, planning treatments, decision-making, identifying patient strength, examining progress, and empowering positive changes.
Based on the Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths (CANS) tool used by the State for mental health problem assessment and treatment planning, CMH Screener addresses the primary domains of mental health, including behavioral and emotional needs, life functioning, risk behaviors and caregiver resources and needs. The CMH Screener generates a total rating, which informs providers and family regarding the need to pursue further mental health treatment options.
The screening tool has enabled the state to meet the imperative need for early identification of mental health treatment and facilitate families with further mental health treatment options.

Alcohol Addiction Treatment
Alcohol consumption has been part of many cultures. Before the European colonization, the native population of the territory that would eventually become the United States used to produce weak beers or other fermented. In the past, alcohol was used as a trading medium, often bartered for highly sought-after animal skins and other natural resources such as indigo.
Alcoholism is an illness where alcoholic beverage consumption is at a level that interferes with the person's health and negatively impacts social, family or occupational responsibilities. Alcohol abusers are drinkers that may drink excessively at various times with resulting immediate alcohol abuse effects at the time of excess alcohol consumption.
alcohol addiction treatment program steps:
1. Intervention - this is the initial alcoholism treatment option whereby the drinking problem is recognized and acknowledged by the drinker and perhaps family members or employer as well. Once the alcohol problem is recognized, alcohol consumption is stopped for those persons that are alcohol dependent.
2. Detoxification - this phase of an alcohol addiction treatment program usually takes from 4 to 7 days. The more alcohol a person has been drinking each day, the higher the likelihood the person will develop alcohol withdrawal symptoms when they stop drinking.
3. Rehabilitation - recovery from alcoholism should include support for the problem drinker once the detoxification alcoholism treatment option phase is completed to help maintain alcohol abstinence.
Symptoms of Alcoholism
#Â A person with the habit of alcoholism will have all the trademark drunkard's characteristics - red eyes, unkempt hair, mouth reeking of alcohol, unsteady gait, etc. But there are several people who mask these signs well.
# Alcoholics usually set specific times for their drinking sessions. These could be before dinner. If alcohol is not available one particular day, they may become very cantankerous.
# Even during the time they are not drinking, alcoholics would not be able to focus on the work at hand. This would sour their business and family life.
Signs of Alcohol Addiction
How can a person tell if he or she is alcohol dependent? First, the experience of alcohol withdrawal symptoms when an individual suddenly stops drinking is one sign that alcoholism has reared its ugly head.
Research shows that an overall increase in the consumption of alcohol can be linked to the increase in cases of acute pancreatitis. An attack of acute alcoholic pancreatitis is generally preceded by 5-10 years of prolonged over-consumption of alcohol. In the U.S. every year, 80,000 to 200,000 people have attacks of acute pancreatitis.
These alcoholic symptoms and signs of alcoholism are seriously damaging everyone's life affected by them. If your wife displays at least three of these signs of alcoholism, you are most likely living with an alcoholic already. An alcoholic intervention is crucial necessity now.
Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) is considered to be the standard for measuring the degree to which an individual is impaired by alcohol. For years, studies have shown that there is a direct correlation between the blood alcohol concentration and the degree to which reactions and judgments are impaired.

Join us on a trip to Benworth Farm at Anderleigh, to discover where PFSQ have established farm forestry plantings with local species for both timber production and for environmental outcomes.
This project combines commercial and non-commercial species in strategic plantings associated with riparian areas and on land that was not suited to Macadamia nut production.
This workshop will cover the following three important aspects of reforestation, at an entry level:
- Planning a reforestation project – including:
- appropriate species selection with a focus on local regional ecosystems
- optimising the success and the environmental outcomes of reforestation by taking broader landscape features and attributes into consideration (i.e. drainage characteristics, linkages with remnant vegetation, fire management, soil changes)
- understanding and mitigating risks to successful reforestation (drought, flood, soil compaction, browsing, lack of maintenance)
- Design and layout of reforestation projects –
- practical design solutions for easy and safe maintenance
- planting density
- species layout
- access for maintenance and fire management
- Site preparation and establishment methods –
- Operational timelines
- Weed control
- Cultivation techniques
- Planting methods

I’m having problems with the fuel gauge on my BMW e46 2000 3 Series. The needle doesn’t fluctuate and is always idle, even when fuel is put in. I’ve seen it fluctuate a few times but it’s idle the majority of the time. The fuel light always stays on as well and never turns off when the car is started or running. Could it be the fuel filter underneath the back seat or a instrument cluster fuse blown? I’d like to know if anyone has had the same issue or knows what the problem could be. If someone has any kind of solution, link me to something or let me know anything that could be affecting the problem. It would be much appreciated as it could save me a lot of money paying for a mechanic to look at it, thank you!


- Bulls director of rugby Jake White was effusive in his praise of his fullback Kurt-Lee Arendse.
- The nippy outside back scored two tries, one of them starting from his own half as the Bulls crushed the Dragons 55-20 on Saturday.
- The Bulls have now put 50 on two Welsh teams, but have the formidable prospect of Ulster to come next week.
Bulls director of rugby Jake White showered praise on elusive outside back Kurt-Lee Arendse in the aftermath of their 55-20 demolition of the Dragons at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday.
The 25-year-old scored a regulation try in the first half, but it was a mesmeric effort in the second half that was the pick of the eight the Bulls scored.
RESULT | United Rugby Championship: Bulls v Dragons
In fielding an up-and-under in his own half, Arendse then beat all the close defenders for pace and stepped Dragons fullback Jordan Williams inside out before dotting down in the corner.
White was chuffed with Arendse’s attacking game, but it’s the defensive nous that’s standing out for the 2007 Rugby World Cup winning coach.
“It’s phenomenal to have a fullback like that and good sides have had good fullbacks like him,” White said.
“Jason Robinson, who played for England, could play like that. There also was a moment where he kicked the ball nearly 60 metres, so it’s not just about his running with the ball.
“I thought when he tried to pick the ball up, if he’d kicked the ball, he probably would have gone on and scored again.
“It’s lovely to have him here and he compliments what we have here.”
The success over the Dragons was the Bulls’ third consecutive win at home and their seventh overall this season.
Having put 50 over the Cardiff Blues and the Dragons, the Welsh sides will be happy to see the back of Pretoria and the inhospitable Sunnyside-based stadium.
With the Stormers escaping with a win against Ulster while the Sharks fluffed their lines against Edinburgh, the Bulls ensured a decent weekend was had by the SA teams.
White was pleased with how his charges looked after themselves in both games.
“One of the nice things is that last week, we played really well and this week, we scored another 50 points,” White said.
“You’ve got to be proud of that and the way we’re playing is also nice. There’s some good interplay between backs and forwards.
“It’s a tough competition as we saw the Sharks lose and Ulster were unlucky. We just need to take as many wins as we can.”


Google Will Now Tell You When That Coffee Shop Is Busy
The Internet now offers yet another way to avoid human interaction. Business listings in Google searches will now come with data on when to arrive to skip the crowds. By searching for your nearest coffee shop or that hip restaurant down the street, you'll be able to click on the business name to see a graph of the days and times when it sees the most traffic, so you can plan out when to go to actually get a table.
Google announced the feature earlier this week, and, according to The Verge, it’s based on the same Android location data that lets Google Maps estimate traffic levels. It won’t be able to alert you to an unexpected rush for iced coffee on a hot day, but it’ll tell you whether the place is normally packed or dead at 4 p.m. on a Tuesday.

US Airways, American Airlines unions pushing hard for merger
US Airways Group Inc., with new backing by three unions representing nearly 55,000 American Airlines employees, is angling for a merger between the two airline companies, according to statements made Friday.
Combining with bankrupt American Airlines “represents a unique opportunity that we should not ignore,” said US Airways Chief Executive Doug Parker in a letter to employees. The deal would “create a preeminent airline” that could “compete successfully with United, Delta and other carriers.”
Though AA’s parent company, AMR Corp., would have to first agree to a merger, US Airways has already signed agreements with three major AA unions laying out how collective bargaining pacts would look should a deal go through.
The unions — the Allied Pilots Assn., the Assn. of Professional Flight Attendants and the Transport Workers Union — all signed pacts. In a message to members, the APA said a merger would be “the best possible course of action for both our profession and for the future of our airline.”
Fusing the two companies could create a single carrier that would lead air travel on the East Coast and in the Midwest while becoming more competitive in the West, according to the APA.
US Airways also filed an 8-K form with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday disclosing the accords. The company said that merging with American would save at least 6,200 of the more than 13,000 jobs that AMR has planned to cut during restructuring.
“Today is one step in what will be a much longer process,” Parker wrote.

The Timeless Appeal of a Proper Local
When I was but a scamp I remember countless tales describing how communities used to be; half of the street having your spare door key, first name terms with the milkman, meals together at the dinner table without distractions - the typical anecdotes about the good ol’ days that modern society simply couldn’t compare with. And there was always another important feature that popped up, that synonymous establishment - your local boozer.
Growing up in South London Suburbia and I always found these stories intriguing because my parents weren’t big drinkers and the pubs in the area were lacking in anything that could be described as ‘atmosphere’. So what was it that had changed? What powers did these mythical houses of solidarity possess to entice such devotion? The answer to this alluded me until fairly recently...
Before we get on that though it’s important to mention that the British pub industry has been through testing times since Grandad Pat’s heyday. It’s estimated that 1 in 3 pubs across the UK have closed since the 1970’s, a fall which can be attributed to a multitude of factors like an increase on alcohol duties, cultural attitudes towards booze and cigarettes, smaller independents being priced out by harsh business rates - it’s a long list. And whilst London seems to be immune to so many of the nation’s plights, last year the BBC reported that the Big Smoke has lost 1,200 pubs in the last 15 years alone!
W - The - F!? This came as a surprise and the reason for my disbelief was due to Hackney, where I’ve lived for a decade, being the only borough where openings have increased. There’s an abundance of excellent pubs within the Mare Street catchment ranging from real ale specialists (The Cock Tavern) to vegan-only menu’s (The Spread Eagle) to Michelin-starred kitchens (The Marksmen). Most of them following the well-tested theme of being a building with fascinating heritage renovated & rejuvenated by passionate young publicans who understand their Millennial clientele’s want for newstuffthatlooksolddonewell. But its not only Gen. G(entrification) - my parents proudly boast to friends about the flourishing East End drinking holes they’ve visited being “how pubs used to be!”.
Having this meze of haunts to choose from bring us back to the question of what makes a great local, one that you’re loyal to, take pride in recommending and visit above the rest? A prime example is close to home for me, literally. The Chesham Arms on my road was having its sign re-painted the day we moved into our house and it’s been an intimate relationship ever since. If you haven’t been, go. An 150-year-old building that became a ‘community asset’ in 2013 after being saved by its locals from the council selling it off to developers. Leaving it’s local beer options, sun-trapped garden, eardrum-massaging music selection & winter fireplace to one side for a sec, it has an environment that epitomises what I was told all those years ago. There’s no secret hi-tech POS systems guiding bar staff on what my favourite drink is, and that doesn’t matter. They recognise you, have a friendly chat and keep it simple. Aside from a few sausage rolls there’s no food on offer and, thanks to an inspired agreement with Yard Sale (pizza, Clapton), and that doesn’t matter either. The freedom to order your favourite slice straight to your table makes the place seem more and more like sitting in your own living room.
It’s a hard thing to put your finger on but as soon as you walk through the door you feel comfortable, be it as a group on a fully-fuelled Saturday or riding solo with a book on a Tuesday night. The more I think about it, the reason for this is obvious - it’s somewhere run by passionate people that don’t try to be anything they’re not. A mindset that each and every customer absorbs.
I think the best pubs have an incredible ability to make punters feel secure, at home and able to forget about what’s outside. Thanks to The Chesh I’m starting to understand what Big Pat was talking about and I think he’d happily hang his tankard up in his grandson’s local, happy to see the most beloved of British traditions still going strong.
Here at Déjà Vu we’re constantly questioning loyalty and what makes a regular haunt good enough for Londoners to be loyal to. Let’s continue the conversation with #unlocksomethingdifferent and #dejavuloyalty over on our Twitter and Instagram pages.

One of my favorite vacation destinations is Niagara Falls. The weather is touch and go in the spring and fall, but summers are pleasant. To see the falls up close and experience the force of this wonder of nature I would suggest the attraction “The Maid of the Mist” You can board from either the American or Canadian side of the Falls. I would rate it cautiously family friendly. The rocking of the boat can be rattling and I had to hold on tight. My grandchildren had a big time and we were mesmerized by the beauty.
Just when you feel like you’re getting too close the current assists the captain in getting the boat turned around quite easily.
Dress for the occasion, regardless of how warm and dry the weather is you will get cool and wet. The park will provide you with a poncho, before you board the boat in the gorge so getting there can be a bit of a challenge. You can expect to feel strong wind gusts, hear the seagulls, see fish jumping , and smell the fresh cold water with a fishy scent.

Be prepared to “fall in love” Happy travels


SOUTH STREET SEAPORT — Local preservationists have accused the city and the Howard Hughes Corporation of allowing two historic Fulton Fish Market warehouses to fall into disrepair as an easy means to justify tearing them down.
The abandoned New Market Building and Tin Building, which is landmarked, will each have a portion of their structure torn down by the city — because they are in “danger of collapse,” Economic Development Corporation spokeswoman Kelly Magee said.
Several preservationists point to a 2010 EDC inspection obtained by DNAinfo New York that detailed the decay of the buildings, and determined that more than $10 million was need to repair the buildings. Those repairs were never made.
“I see it as benign neglect,” said Michael Kramer, a Community Board 1 member and member of the preservationist group Save Our Seaport. “The city has put no money into these buildings, and allowed them to deteriorate — they knew they were decaying and now they have to demolish.”
The city is planning the partial demolition of each building's “cooler” areas — sheds that run along the backs of the structures — for later this summer. If it's determined by structural engineers that the buildings remain unsound, the warehouses may have to be completely torn down. Any demolition will need approval from city and state agencies, Magee said.
For some local activists, the seemingly abrupt action seems part of a larger problem — a lack of transparency when it comes to the redevelopment of the Seaport.
The warehouses, relics of the Seaport’s fish mongering days, sit at the base of Pier 17, which is being completely rebuilt by the Howard Hughes Corporation and will be redeveloped into a sleek, glass outdoor mall.
The Hughes Corporation also has plans, which have not gone through the city land approval process yet, to build a massive, controversial luxury tower where one of the warehouses, the New Market Building, now sits.
While the New Market Building would be torn down as part of the company's proposed redevelopment, the company said they would preserve the Tin Building — but they would move it about 30 feet from where it now sits, taking it out from underneath the FDR Drive. The company declined to comment about whether the city's actions would affect their plans to move the Tin Building.
One group, the Friends of South Street Seaport, said they fear that the work on Pier 17 has led, in part, to the unsound state of the fish market buildings. They recently sent a letter to the Army Corp of Engineers, asking for oversight and review of the Pier 17 complex.
The group said they were “objecting to back-room bait-and-switch tactics that routinely bypass legally required consultation and permitting processes.”
Howard Hughes Corporation calls those claims "simply wrong on the facts."
"The Howard Hughes Corporation is currently constructing its [Uniform Land Use Review Process] approved Pier 17 project and all of its construction activities are being conducted with the necessary permits from the appropriate governmental agencies," Chris Curry, senior executive of development for HHC said in an emailed statement. "[The buildings and Pier 17 project] are not on the same structure and there is not an integrated piling infrastructure. There has been no impact on those structures from the Pier 17 work."
A variety of community groups, including Community Board 1, the New York Landmarks Conservancy, Metropolitan Waterfront Alliance, the Historic Districts Council and Save Our Seaport recently also recently sent a letter to the mayor's office, saying they are "deeply troubled" by the "egregious absence of transparency and public review of the plans for the Seaport."
They are asking for a "pause to all activity" before they can see the "developer's full plan for the Seaport."
"Past developers have no delivered promised revenues or district-wide revitalization," wrote Peg Breen, the President of the New York Landmarks Conservancy, who penned the letter. "We fear that the current absence of comprehensive planning allows development to head in the wrong direction again and squander the potential of this remarkable resource. We demand an opportunity to get this right."
Wiley Norvell, a spokesman for the mayor's office, said that safety was the top concern for the city, but that the decision to tear down portions of the buildings does not "alter the city’s commitment to work collaboratively with all local stakeholders on a plan to revitalize the Seaport and preserve its maritime heritage."
“EDC and the administration reached out to all elected officials about this difficult decision and informed them of the dangerous structural conditions developing at the site—even extending an offer to personally inspect the new cracks threatening the structures," Norvell said. "Safety is our top priority, and years of neglect and disrepair finally have reached a critical juncture that must be addressed to prevent risk to the public."

Section I. Freedom of Religion
The Constitution provides for freedom of religion, and the Government respects this right in practice.
The Roman Catholic, Anglican, and Seventh-Day Adventist churches and the Islamic mosques each have their own acts of incorporation. Other churches that are not a body corporate are registered as associations with the Registrar General and are entitled to tax-free privileges, similar to a charity. All religious organizations must register in order to be entitled to tax-free privileges. If an organization does not want tax-free privileges, it does not have to register.
According to figures gathered in the 1994 census, 88 percent of the population are Roman Catholic and 8 percent are Anglican. There are other Christian churches, including Baptists, Seventh-Day Adventists, the Assembly of God, the Pentecostal Church, and Jehovah's Witnesses. Hinduism, Islam, and the Baha'i Faith also are practiced. Almost 50 percent of the population are estimated to regularly practice their faith.
The Government has not demonstrated favoritism towards one religion over another. The leader of the opposition is an Anglican minister. The majority of the government ministers are Catholic. The Government tends to remain outside of religious matters but provides program time to different religious organizations on the national television and radio broadcasting service. On Sunday mornings, a televised broadcast of a Catholic Mass alternates each week with a broadcast of an Anglican service. Whichever religion, either Catholic or Anglican, that did not have its service televised in the morning has a 15-minute radio program broadcast on Sunday evening. On Fridays, there is a 15-minute Islamic radio broadcast. On Saturdays, a 15-minute Baha'i radio program alternates each week with an Adventist broadcast.
There was no change in the status of respect for religious freedom during the period covered by this report.
There were no reports of religious detainees or prisoners.
There were no reports of the forced religious conversion of minor U.S. citizens who had been abducted or illegally removed from the United States, or of the Government's refusal to allow such citizens to be returned to the United States.
Section II. Societal Attitudes
There are amicable relations among the various religious groups and tolerance for individual religious choice.
Section III. U.S. Government Policy
The U.S. Embassy discusses religious freedom issues with the Government in the overall context of the promotion of human rights.

Certification Certificate in Guidance (CCG) - Early Guidance programs dealt with the immediate problem of vocational placement. The complexities of the industrial economy and the unrealistic ambitions of many young people made it essential that machinery for bringing together jobs and workers be set up; vocational guidance became that machinery. At the same time, counseling organizations were established to help people understand their potentialities and liabilities and make intelligent personal and vocational decisions. The first vocational counseling service was the Boston Vocational Bureau, established (1908) by Frank Parsons, a pioneer in the field of guidance. His model was soon copied by many schools, municipalities, states, and private organizations.

Channel-surfing the vast cultural wasteland: Hollywood hunk Channing Tatum is released into the woods in tonight’s episode of “Running Wild With Bear Grylls.” What savage wilderness must Tatum survive for two nights? Yosemite National Park.
Using only their wits, a compact mirror — Tatum’s — and a spork, the pair must start a fire for an evening ranger talk, whittle a marshmallow stick and fashion a shelter from an REI four-man tent.
Room with “The View”: The departures of Sherri Shepherd and Jenny McCarthy from the daytime talk show, “The View,” leave Whoopi Goldberg as the only returning co-host when the show resumes in September.
Eager to return to TV since he left “The Tonight Show” in February, Jay Leno offered to join the panel and — requested or not — would wear a dress.
Is there a part for Adele Dazeem? A publisher of children’s books says that the adventures of Anna and Elsa from Disney’s hit movie “Frozen” will continue with at least two more books in January.
Which means Disney should have a sequel out about the time that “Let It Go” stops playing on a loop inside the heads of parents.
