Greg Clement wasn't yet 1 when Mapleside Farms in Brunswick held their first Johnny Appleseed Festival 40 years ago. But by the time he was able to walk, the Brunswick-native began attending the annual fests.
"I remember so many of them from my childhood," Clement says.
This year, he's hosting the event.
Clement, 39, bought the venerable Brunswick farm and orchard along with wife Kelly in 2010.
"We both grew up in Brunswick, and Mapleside was always this magical place we'd go to as kids," he says of the picturesque 122-acre orchard, farm and rustic restaurant-bakery-gift shop-ice cream stand complex on Pearl Road. Mapleside has more than 5,000 apple trees in 12 varieties on 55-cultivated acres. They also grow sweet corn, pumpkins and raspberries.
"It's this really great authentic place, " says Clement. "When the opportunity to buy it came up, we jumped."
It hasn't been all apple-pie and ice cream since the Clements bought the farm, though.
"We were thrust into the world of farming," says Clement, who also owns a software company by day. "Fortunately, the Eyssen family, who had the built the farm, are still involved and have been a great help. Without them we could not have been able to continue Mapleside."
Clement says the biggest challenge so far has been "really, just learning how to take care of an apple. There's a lot more to growing apples than planting a tree and waiting for the fruit to come out. It's very labor intensive."
Equally challenging, though, has been the goal of updating Mapleside while keeping the beloved southside favorite true to its roots.
"One of the neatest things about Mapleside is the authenticity of it," says Clement, "We did not want to hurt the authenticity, but we also wanted to make it more of a year-round destination."
To that end, Clement instituted a series of updates. Inside, these include hiring Corbo's to take over the bakery – but keeping the classic apple pie and apple fritter recipes, of course. They also modernized the restaurant and added in a lovely front bar area.
It's on the grounds outside where the changes are most apparent, though. Taking advantage of the stunning hillside view, Clement added in a series of outdoor summer Friday-night concerts overlooking the valley.
But the biggest updates are aimed at families. There is now a permanent jump park with "Ohio's largest jumping pillow" and a 311-foot giant hillside slide.
And then there's Pumpkin Village. Hoping to build on the Johnny Appleseed Festival's long-running popularity, Clement instituted a month of fests under the Pumpkin Village umbrella. These include Great Wolf Weekend Sept. 21-22; a Medieval Festival Sept. 28-29; a Pumpkin Festival Oct. 5-6; Family Fall Foliage Fest Oct. 11-13; Super Hero and Princess Weekend Oct. 19-20 and Spooky Fest Oct. 26-27. They also have added in a Zombie Paintball experience from 5 p.m. to midnight on weekend nights (less scary before dark for littler kids).
But none of these have the appeal of Appleseed. Running this Friday through Sunday, the Johnny Appleseed Festival has become a sure sign of fall in the southern suburbs. To mark the 40th anniversary, Clement plans to make this one bigger and better than ever – starting with Mapleside's first ever apple-pie eating contest at 7 p.m. Friday (see sidebar).
"We wanted to start with a bang," says Clement.
Other weekend highlights include hayrides, corn mazes for little and older kids, live bands, apple-butter making, crafts, a petting zoo, pig and cow trains for tots –and lots and lots of apples and apple-goodies for sale. The American Legends acting troupe also will be performing throughout the grounds all weekend, impersonating legends such as Johnny Appleseed, Pocahontas, Mark Twain, Annie Oakley and Huckleberry Finn.
"I want to make the Mapleside experience magical as possible for kids - like when I was young," says Clement.

Natural killer (NK) cell
plays an important role in an innate immune response against viral infection.
The kinetics regulation and functional consequences of NK cells in the
pathogeneses of diseases are uncertain. We analyzed NK cell distribution and
function of successfully combination antiretroviral therapy (cART)-treated
HIV-1 infected individuals in Khon Kaen Regional Hospital, Thailand. The results
demonstrated that increased percentage and the total number of NK cell in cART-treated HIV-1 infected patients
with preferential high levels of CD56dimCD16+ and CD56-CD16+ subsets when compared with a control
group even in undetectable viral load (<40 copies per milliliter).
Concomitantly, decreased cytotoxic activity measured by CD107asurface
expression with maintained IFN-γ production
implied the impairment of cytolytic activity was not recovered after cART
treatment. Thus, altered NK cell frequency and function by HIV-1 infection are
not completely recovered with cART, which may contribute to impaired cellular
immune response and persistence of HIV-1.

I am very positive about Africa. However, I am also sceptical about the various reports being produced that market the ‘Africa rising’ narrative. I am yet to be convinced that what is being marketed is true.
There is no doubt that major opportunities are emerging in many parts of Africa. For a retail business like Pick ‘n Pay, the growth of a middle class that can afford to shop in stores is one example of an exciting opportunity.
However, I am also concerned that many of these opportunities are being exaggerated, and that the real challenges that remain are being glossed over. This is not because I am sceptical about Africa’s growth potential, but rather because there are practical, social and political challenges that need to be addressed if we are to realise that potential.
Two serious challenges
Probably two of the most serious of these challenges relate to over population and environmental sustainability.
While Africa’s young and growing population certainly represents an opportunity from a consumer perspective, it also represents a threat to stability and sustainability. Already, we are seeing the devastation and disappearance of natural habitats across the continent. As pressures to grow economies and feed more people continue to mount, there is a strong possibility that population pressures will lead to natural resources being destroyed for future generations.
Speaking more specifically to business-related challenges, probably the most significant issue for us is logistics and the difficulty experienced in moving goods and people across borders. Regional integration is a fine concept, but our experience is that barriers are put up despite regional trade agreements. It is not only trade barriers that are the problem; it is the entire system of customs, border control, logistics infrastructure, and related activities.
Roads are being built, but often on the cheap, bureaucracy at borders remains a nightmare, and there seems to be very little genuine effort to improve things at ground level. It takes between five and six days to transport goods via road from Johannesburg to Lusaka; a trip that should take two days at most. Logistics to other African cities via sea can be even worse, with goods routinely being held in port for months. The situation seems to be worsening, rather than improving.
Emergence of new leaders
What does make me positive that key challenges like these can be addressed, is the emergence of a new generation of leaders. As the next generation of leadership starts to take shape, I am hopeful that the more traditional hierarchical and patronage-driven model will begin to disappear. In the future we are going to see far more diverse, dynamic, and polyglot communities that will break down these barriers to progress. The process of urbanisation is already breaking down old-style political structures and traditional ways of thinking. I suspect that the rise of new technologies will accelerate this process; cheap smartphones and broadband will be crucial to this.
It will also be vital though that the next generation of African leaders are visionaries who have the courage to adopt a long-term perspective. The danger, and one of the risks of deepening democracies, is that Africa’s sustainable future is traded off against political and short-term expediency. This will require, for example, significant investment in infrastructure; converting the abundant wealth that sits underground into above-ground wealth. The upgrading of cities, given the pressures of population growth and urbanisation, is going to be particularly important. Luanda provides an example of a city that seems to be getting this right by taking a portion of the oil wealth and using it to substantially upgrade the city’s infrastructure. Currently though, Luanda seems to be the exception rather than the rule.
Recolonisation a real threat
Whatever the opportunities and challenges, one issue we are all going to have to seriously consider is how we avoid a recolonisation of Africa by the likes of China, the USA, and even South Africa. We need to ensure that value creation is shared fairly, that foreign investors make a positive and sustainable socio-economic impact, and that profits are not simply stripped and repatriated from African countries, as has so often been the case in the past.
In our business, the implementation of global supply chains and pricing and intensifying competition can make retaining income in-country very difficult to get right. As global supply chains become more efficient, local suppliers can often get squeezed out.
We are very pragmatic about the value we can create in the markets in which we operate. Besides providing consumers with good products at good prices in a pleasant and safe shopping environment, we create new jobs, and push hard to purchase as much as possible from local sources and suppliers located near our facilities, rather than ship product from our central distribution centre in Johannesburg. Ultimately, creating jobs and economic opportunities systematically, literally ‘one-by-one’, is probably the most positive impact that organisations like ours can have on local economies.

Devas-Antrix case: India suffers setback at Hague
The Hague, July 26: The International Tribunal here on Tuesday (July 26) asked India to pay Devas Multimedia in a case related to unilateral cancellation of an agreement of satellite leasing.
As a result of this setback, India might have to pay a whopping 1 billion dollars in damages.
The case was filed by Devas Multimedia which has signed a contract with Antrix, the commercial arm of the Indian Space Reserach Organisation (Isro). Devas, based in Bengaluru, had signed the deal for S-band transponders in G-SAT6 and G-SAT6A satellites for digital broadcasting of audio service.
In December 2009, The Isro constituted the BN Suresh Committee to review the agreement and the committee submitted its report in June 2010. In July 2010, the space commission recommended scrapping of the deal and in 2011, the then UPA government at the Centre set up two more panels---one each under BK Chaturvedi and Pratyush Sinha---to look into the deal after reports of possible revenue losses surfaced.
The Chaturvedi panel submitted the report in September 2011. In February 2012, the Delhi High Court told the government not to take 'coercive steps' against Devas.
The arbitration began in June 2013 and Devas claimed $1.6 billion in damages. In September last year, the arbitration panel asked Isro to pay Devas Rs 4,400 crore.

Which actor has been in the most movies? Well, the answer might surprise you.
Actors. We all have our favourites. Some we remember because of their great performances. But others who’ve appeared in many films are completely forgotten or unknown. “Hey, it’s that guy from this, that or the other.” It’s safe to say that not every actor is created equal; some artists have a penchant for starring in as many projects as humanly possible. As a consequence, these celebrities have a more prevalent place in popular culture — whether you know their names or not.
Everyone is probably thinking Samuel L. Jackson has been in the most movies. I mean, the actor who has starred in virtually any and every Hollywood blockbuster and B-grade film in recent memory. On one occasion, Mr Jackson was starring in three of the five movies available at my local cinema. The man does get around. Surprisingly, Sam Jackson doesn’t hold the title for “the actor who has been in the most movies”.
The honour would probably belong to actors like Mel Blanc (1149 acting credits), Adoor Bhasi (624 acting credits), Tom London (654 acting credits) and Bud Osborne (630 acting credits). Of course, it’s a whole different ball game when you start talking about Bollywood films. Manorama (Tamil actress) has acted in more than 1000 films.
But for this list, we’ll try to stick to more recent “well-known” actors who have appeared in Hollywood films. And no it’s not Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hanks, Robert Downey Jr., Morgan Freeman, Dwayne Johnson, Denzel Washington, Bette Davis, Johnny Depp, Mel Gibson or even Robert De Niro (although he has been in a number of movies).
RELATED: 10 Actors Who Took Their Roles Too Far
Here is a list of actors who’ve been in the most movies.
16. Susan Sarandon (100 Movies & +124 Acting Credits)
With a career spanning from 1970 to 2014, Susan Sarandon has become a familiar face in film, television and even documentaries. There aren’t many actresses who can boast the same experience.
With a career that spans over a hundred movies so far (and two soon-to-be-released projects on the way), Susan Sarandon is widely renowned as one of the actresses with the most movies in her career. Her first role came in 1970, with the political thriller Joe, where Sarandon plays the daughter of a wealthy advertising executive.
One of Sarandon’s most remarkable talents is the way she easily adapts to any kind of role she’s in. The actress has proved that she’s as great in serious drama films as she is in cheesy horror flicks. Perhaps her most recognizable role is that of Louise in the legendary 1991 drama, Thelma & Louise.
15. Anthony Hopkins (40 Movies but +125 Acting Credits)
Anthony Hopkins has been everything from the scariest serial killer to the King of Asgard to a master swordsman in Zorro. With a career that started in television back in 1965, the actor continues to appear in numerous films – these days usually as a lead. Mr Hopkins continues to prove himself as one of the coolest actors around. At 89, he is still going strong.
14. Robert Duvall (99 Movies & +141 acting credits)
Robert Duvall is probably most known for his roles in The Godfather, Apocalypse Now and Deep Impact, but the Oscar-winning actor has been in everything from video games to TV series. Will he ever retire?

13. Samuel L. Jackson (166 Movies & +158 acting credits)
The dude’s just everywhere you look. And with the number of appearances Samuel L. Jackson is set to appear in, I’m sure he’ll be at the top of this list in no time. Good luck naming a film he wasn’t in.
A movie fan from a very young age, Samuel L. Jackson has become an integral part of modern pop culture thanks to his roles in the Star Wars franchise and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With a career that spans over 160 films, it’s safe to say that Jackson is decidedly one of the actors with most movies in his repertoire.
Jackson’s career took an unexpected turn when he appeared as one of the main characters in Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction. His profanity-laced delivery and cool guy character quickly became synonymous with his off-screen persona, leading to him becoming one of the most beloved actors in the movie industry.
12. Danny Glover (120 Movies & +161 acting credits)
There is no slowing down Danny Glover. At the time of this article, the actor has 15 films in production. Glover is in demand and with a career that includes Lethal Weapon, The Color Purple, Saw and Predator 2 under his belt who can blame them.
Actor and political activist Danny Glover has appeared in a little over 120 movies in his career. Glover has also been quite active in the music business, being an active member of the Jazz Foundation of America.
Though he’s been more invested in drama roles as of late, most fans might know him better from the massively popular Lethal Weapon series. At 75 years old, Glover still has a lot of roles ahead of him. That would take Glover’s total to 131 movies: an impressive number for any actor.
11. Jackie Chan (190 Movies)
As an actor and stuntman, Jackie Chan has appeared in more than 190 films throughout the years. One of the main reasons why Chan is one of the actors with most movies under his belt is that his career spans not only Hollywood but the Chinese film market as well.
Long before he came to the States, Chan had already made a name for himself in Hong Kong and mainland China. His talent for mixing physical comedy with impressive action stunts has turned him into one of the most recognizable faces in the entertainment business. The best part is that Chan is still quite active: last year alone, he appeared in three movies, with three more films set to be released in 2022.

10. Michael Caine (+161 acting credits)
Christopher Nolan’s lucky charm, My Cocaine (I mean Michael Caine), has a career spanning plus/minus seven decades. Despite all his experience and the scale of his filmography, the fans will always remember him as the beloved butler, Alfred.
9. Donald Sutherland (+176 acting credits)
Technically it should be 175, since The Hunger Games: Mockingjay was split up into two films. But when you get to 176 films I’m sure you couldn’t care less about the numbers. Donald Sutherland continues to prove that he is a force in the acting world, adding charm to every role he takes on.
8. Louis Gossett Jr. (+177 acting credits)
Who knew that Louis Gossett Jr. was still hard at work making movies? The actor has nine productions in the works for the upcoming months. While they might not be the great A-list films, Louis Gossett Jr. has proven his weight in gold with films like An Officer and a Gentleman and Iron Eagle.
RELATED: The 20 Best Actors of All Time
7. James Earl Jones (80 Movies +188 acting credits)
Voice actor. Stage actor. TV actor. Movie actor. The ‘retired’ James Earl Jones has lent his voice to everything under the sun, including CNN, Star War‘s Darth Vader and The Lion King. Although I was certain he had retired, the American actor recently appeared in an episode of Big Bang Theory and is said to return as Mufasa in the live-action version of The Lion King.
6. John Carradine (222 Movies)
John Carradine could definitely presume about having one of the most impressive resumes of any golden age Hollywood actor. The actor appeared in some of the most iconic movies of the 20th century, like The Ten Commandments, Stagecoach, and The Grapes of Wrath.
Not only was he one of the actors with the most movies in his oeuvre, but Carradine was also the patriarch of the successful Carradine family, including other renowned celebrities like David Carradine. The prolific actor passed away in 1988, aged 82; his last role, however, was in 1995, in the low-budget horror flick, Jack-O, where he has a cameo alongside Cameron Mitchell.
5. Robert Loggia (+225 acting credits)
Maybe you know his face and not his name, but the fact is you’ve seen Robert Loggia‘s work at some point or another. With an incredible 225 acting credits to his name, Robert is most memorable as a supporting actor in films like Independence Day, Scarface and Gladiator.
Veteran actor and film director Robert Loggia has been featured in over 220 acting credits throughout his career. His first movie was the 1956 drama film, Somebody Up There Likes Me. Surprisingly, this first role was uncredited, but he would more than make up for it with the remainder of his career.
As one of the actors with most movies in his career (even if most of them were supporting roles), Loggia favoured film over television, but that doesn’t mean that the actor didn’t appear in some shows, most notably, in T.H.E. Cat. Sadly, Loggia passed away in 2015, but he’ll always be remembered for his prolific acting career.
RELATED: 10 Famous Actors Nobody Knows By Their Names
4. Danny Trejo (258 Movies)
Whenever any movie needs a no-nonsense guy who definitely was born to star in action movies, you think of Danny Trejo. His impressive acting career features over 258 credits, a number that puts Trejo quite high on the list of actors with most movies. Though he can mostly be seen acting as some kind of thug, some directors have noticed Trejo’s potential to appeal to any kind of audience.
For example, Robert Rodriguez decided to cast him as Uncle Machete in his Spy Kids trilogy — a role that would later be expanded in the Machete series. Trejo has also lent his voice to some animated projects, like the upcoming Minions 2: The Rise of Gru.
3. Christopher Lee (213 Movies & +280 acting credits)
This is the perfect time to mention that this list includes the actors with most movies in their resumes: that means that TV shows and anything outside of the silver screen will be left out. That’s a blessing in Sir Christopher Lee’s case, ‘cause instead of 213 movie roles, we’d be looking at over 280 acting roles in his prolific career.
Lee could also be known as the ‘Master of Horror’ thanks to his iconic roles as Count Dracula in seven Hammer films. The younger audiences might know him better from both The Lord of the Ring series or from the Star Wars prequels. He has had famous roles in a lot of big franchises.
It’s probably safe to say that Christopher Lee has been in nearly every big fandom movie, including Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Indiana Jones and even The LEGO Movie. Good luck having a Christopher Lee movie marathon, you might find yourself ageing at just the thought of it. Sadly, the actor passed away on 7 June 2015. But he is definitely at the top of the list of actors who have appeared in the most movies.
RELATED: 10 Actors Who Always Play the Same Character
2. Gertrude Astor (276 Movies)
Born in 1887, Gertrude Astor was truly a trailblazer for women in cinema. She was the first actress to sign a contract with Universal in 1915 and continued to innovate throughout her hugely successful career. With over 270 acting credits, Astor quickly became one of the most prominent faces of early cinema.
Her last film was 1965’s The Sound of Music, where she appeared as an uncredited party guest. In fact, most of her late roles were uncredited — a sadly common occurrence with actors that emerged during the days of silent movies.
1. Eric Roberts (427 Movies)
When it comes to actors who have been in most movies, Eric Roberts is certainly in a league of his own. Even though he’s been in over 420 films over the years, most people might be familiar with his role as gangster Sal Maroni in The Dark Knight. In 2021 alone, Roberts worked in 25 different films — a testament to this man’s relentless dedication.
Even more impressive is that the actor is already working in over 20 new films, so it’s safe to say that his record is pretty much unbeatable right now. Roberts is reaching Bollywood numbers here, where is not that uncommon for some actors to reach close to 1000 acting credits in their careers — but that’s a story for another time.
Is he the best actor out there? Probably not. But he definitely has something special. Why else does the film industry continue to hire him? His long career in the movie business speaks for itself.

The countdown to the clash of Ireland and New Zealand on Sunday in the Aviva Stadium is well and truly on.
All Blacks coach, Steve Hansen has given his pre match press conference ahead of Sunday’s kick off, playing down talk of a walk over against Joe Schmidts men.
Victory for the World Champions in Dublin will see them finish 2013 un-beaten and Hansen says there is a real excitement in his squad about playing Ireland.
“There’s excitement about the opportunity and there’s a lot of the guys who haven’t been to Ireland before looking forward to taking part in a game that’s going to be fantastic.” Hansen said.
Despite coming to Dublin on the back of wins against England and France on their European Tour, Hansen has still to be convinced by an All Black performance.
He says that although finishing the year without loss would be the perfect result, he wants to see a performance worth boasting.
“The real focus is getting a performance we can be proud of and it’s something we started at the beginning of the year that we wanted to take each game as it came.”
“We haven’t been that satisfied with either the English or the French games on how we played so the whole focus this week has been on preparing really well so we can go out and perform at a standard we could be proud of.” Hansen said.
Last year, the ‘Mighty All Black’s’ fell at the final hurdle against England in Twickenham which was a result that hurt their squad.
Media in New Zealand have been contemplating whether they might choke at the last hurdle again against an Irish side, hurting after their loss to Australia last weekend.
Something that will also be fresh in the Irish mind set was the demolition of last summer under Declan Kidney.
Hansen says he isn’t at all concerned about how the Irish are feeling and says lessons have been learned from last year’s defeat in London.
“For me, it’s about how we feel.” Hansen said.
He added, “We learned some valuable lessons as you always do from our last northern campaign, I think we have most of those issues right, however we will see that for sure on Sunday.”
“We have a team that’s in a fresh state and as I’ve said, there is a genuine excitement about playing this game and it’s a real contrast to what we had this time last year.”
For well over a hundred years, Ireland have tired and not succeeded in beating New Zealand.
Hansen doesn’t see any added pressure in attempting to avoid being the first All Blacks side to lose to the Irish.
He said, “You have to understand that there is an amazing amount of pressure on this team all the time, not only is there an expectation that they win but they have to play really well and that’s just from
Hansen added, “We wouldn’t have it any other way but their expectations force us to go higher with ours, you have to embrace pressure, otherwise it will overcome you and control you and we don’t
want to be controlled by pressure.”

NTSB Identification: DFW05LA027.
The docket is stored in the Docket Management System (DMS). Please contact Records Management Division
Accident occurred Wednesday, December 01, 2004 in Pawhuska, OK
Probable Cause Approval Date: 02/24/2005
Aircraft: Cessna P210N, registration: N6300P
Injuries: 1 Uninjured.
NTSB investigators may not have traveled in support of this investigation and used data provided by various sources to prepare this aircraft accident report.
The 4,000-hour pilot reported that during cruise flight, the engine lost power. While descending, the pilot further stated that he disengaged the autopilot, advanced the mixture to full, cycled the fuel pump, and switched from the left to the right fuel tank, and "the engine momentarily gained power for a few minutes." Subsequently, the engine lost power again and the pilot elected to land on a gravel road. During the landing roll, the left main wheel separated, and the left main landing gear collapsed as the airplane came to rest in an upright position. Prior to the recovery of the airplane, the Federal Aviation Administration inspector was able to start the engine using the right fuel tank. The engine ran for approximately 10 minutes with no abnormalities noted before the inspector shut the engine down using the mixture control. During the recovery process, the inspector noted that approximately one gallon of fuel was drained from the left wing fuel tank and approximately 35 gallons of fuel were drained from the right wing fuel tank. As stated in the FAA approved pilot's operating handbook, the unusable fuel quantity for both fuel tanks is one gallon.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be: The pilot's mismanagement of the fuel by his failure to adequately set the fuel selector position which resulted in fuel exhaustion and the loss of engine power. Full narrative available

Federal Deficit Now 77 Percent Higher Than a Year Ago
The Treasury Department reported Tuesday that the federal deficit for the first four months of the current fiscal year is 77 percent higher than the same period a year ago.
Since the fiscal year began on October 1, 2018, the deficit has ballooned to $310.3 billion — up from a deficit of $175.7 billion for the same time period a year ago.
The department said the higher deficit reflects the fact the government is collecting less money in taxes due to the sweeping, $1.5 billion tax cut pushed through Congress in 2017, while at the same time spending more on items like Social Security and defense.
According to the monthly budget report, which was delayed by the government shutdown, receipts fell by 2 percent to $1.1 trillion, while spending rose 9 percent to $1.4 trillion.
Tax revenue for October 2018 through January 2019 fell by $19 billion, Treasury said.
Meanwhile corporate tax payments over the first four months of the fiscal year dropped from $75.5 billion to $58.9 billion.
Tuesday’s report did show a substantial increase in customs duties, which nearly doubled to $25 billion, primarily due to White House tariffs on Chinese imports.
In a statement posted on Twitter, the Blue Dog Coalition of House Democrats said today’s report on the deficit shows Congress “can’t continue to kick the can down the road when it comes to addressing our nation’s exploding deficit and ever-growing debt. Now, it’s more important than ever that we put forward a budget that is fiscally responsible and upholds our shared values.”
In January, the coalition protected the bipartisan Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGO) rule, which requires Congress to pay for new priorities when it passes them in order to avoid handing down the bill to future generations.
“This was a step in the right direction to prevent the debt from getting worse,” the coalition’s tweet said. “Democrats have been able to produce landmark legislation that also abides by PAYGO. One example is the Affordable Care Act, which allowed 20 million Americans to gain access to health care—many for the first time. In summary, it is indeed possible to attain our shared goals, move our country forward, and be fiscally responsible. These characteristics are not mutually exclusive, and the Blue Dogs are ready to lead the way to demonstrate that.”
Last October, Donald Trump ended his first full fiscal year as president with a budget deficit of about $782 billion, the largest shortfall since 2012 when the country was first showing sustained signs of recovery from the 2008 global financial crisis.
The Congressional Budget Office, a non-partisan federal agency, forecast earlier this year that the deficit in the fiscal year through September 2019 could widen to $897 billion, up by $118 billion from a year earlier.

This updated 20th century Hamlet is brought to vivid realism by independent director Michael Almereyda. Almereyda places the play in the year 2000, creating the state of Denmark as a huge conglomerate, the slain king a CEO, and Hamlet as a digital video maker. This interpretation sounds almost like it's going to be as much fun as a ten-car pileup on the expressway; you want to turn your head away from in disgust but are strangely curious about what happened.
Continue reading: Hamlet (2000) Review
There's a lot of intrusively leaden, urban-industrial style and distracting, pop-edited minutia masquerading as cleverness in writer-director Michael Almereyda's modern Manhattan "Hamlet."
Just the inordinate amount of blatant product placement -- apparently a misguided commentary on consumerism -- is by itself enough to obscure Shakespeare's profundity and passion in a virtual haze. Ophelia listens to Moviefone in one scene for absolutely no reason -- she's not even going to the movies -- and the "To be or not to be" soliloquy takes place in the action section of a Blockbuster store, for cryin' out loud. Why the director would do such a thing is so confounding that you'll tune out half the speech trying to figure it out. Certainly that isn't what he had in mind.
But while it's burdened by such shortcomings, this Y2K date-stamped take on the melancholy Dane -- appropriately played by Ethan Hawke as a brooding, film student heir to a business empire called the Denmark Corp. -- is nonetheless a mildly compelling visitation on the Bard's most complicated tragic hero.

March 6, 2013 - Bosch Solar Energy has completed the largest solar photovoltaic project in Maui County, Hawaii.
The project will provide power for 11 sites with a combined system capacity of 1.9 megawatts (DC). The sites include four fire stations, two senior centers, the Lahaina police station, the Eddie Tam Community Center and the Kihei Aquatic Center. Two wastewater treatment facilities house the largest number of panels installed, with 3,696 panels at the Kihei Wastewater Treatment Facility.
"This investment alone will save the county in total more than $10 million over 20 years. The project provided more than 200 local jobs for four months and reflects the County's commitment to installing renewable energy systems," said Mayor Alan Arakawa .
Bosch Solar Energy and its partners jointly developed, constructed, and financed the multiple-site Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) project. This allowed the county to go solar with no upfront costs.
"The goal of the county to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels and switch to solar energy is commendable. We are pleased our breadth of capabilities can contribute to the solution," said Eric Daniels , regional president for Bosch Solar Energy, North America.

“We got our chickens in the spring of 2006 when the local producer of pastured, organically-fed chicken eggs stopped selling.” Not interested in buying conventionally grown and processed meat and produce, Laylin and her family sought a way to ensure a steady supply of fresh and sustainable food.
Across the nation, beekeepers, entomologists, and farmers have watched in horror as colony after colony of the country’s precious honeybees have died or just plain disappeared. While researchers all over the country have been scrambling to pinpoint the cause of the massive bee deaths, scientists at the University of Delaware have been wondering if the honeybees themselves might have a solution.
News Release – A 12-year study published in the July-September 2012 issue of the University of California’s California Agriculture journal demonstrates that cotton grown in rotation with tomatoes — using lower-impact conservation tillage — can achieve yields similar to standard cultivation methods and at lower cost.
Conservation tillage seeks to reduce the number of times that tractors cross the field, in order to protect the soil from erosion and compaction, and save time, fuel and labor costs. Cotton crops are planted directly into stubble from the previous crop in the rotation.
Over 1,000 heat records in the United States were broken over the past two months, with expectations of more to come throughout the summer (1). The intense weather has shriveled corn (2) and scorched soybeans (3). In response to the heat wave and associated drought, one reporter visiting a tree farm in Ohio quipped, “Orange Christmas trees are not exactly what comes to mind when thinking about the holiday season” (4). But the intense heat and lack of rain in the early summer has caused concern about massive crop failure this year (5), potentially making those orange Christmas trees a reality.
With extreme temperatures and drought, farmers have been forced to rely more heavily on irrigation systems. Unfortunately water, especially in the Western States where irrigation is most common (6), is becoming a limited resource (7).
News Release – WASHINGTON, DC – A new report released by Field to Market, the Keystone Alliance for Sustainable Agriculture, demonstrates how six commodity crops (corn, wheat, soybeans, cotton, rice and potatoes) are being produced more efficiently in the US than they were thirty years ago, accompanied by important improvements in farm safety and economic sustainability for producers. At the same time, increased production to meet growing demand has also resulted in greater overall resource use by many crops.

When applied on damp skin, petroleum jelly locks in the skin's natural moisture. It heals minor cuts, keeping them moist and preventing scabs, and soothes diaper rashes. To treat cradle cap or head lice, apply it on your kid's head and leave it overnight. This lice treatment is effective for adults too. If you are prone to swimmer's ear, dab some jelly on a clean cotton swab and insert it in your ears while you swim.
There are 3 types of lice: head lice, body lice, pubic crab lice. Head lice, with a lifespan of 40 days, live the longest among the 3, followed by body and pubic lice which live up to a month. Both head and pubic lice need a regular supply of human blood to survive (unlike body lice!) and can perish within 24 hours without a human host to "feed" from.
Anti-lice shampoos and other chemical treatments can be harsh, especially on children. A natural, safe alternative is tea tree oil, used alone or in combination with gentle treatments like nerolidol, lavender oil, or coconut oil. It can be used as a spray or added to a shampoo. To use: massage the sol. onto the scalp and hair; wash off and comb wet hair to remove the dead lice.
Specks from dandruff are flakes of scalp skin that easily fall off. If you have lice, those specks are parasites clinging tightly to your hair. Itching is a common trait of both. Dandruff can be caused by seborrhea or even be a reaction to hair products. Lice come from close contact with someone who already has it. Anti-dandruff shampoos, honey, neem, and tea tree oil work on dandruff; pesticidal lotions, manual wet combing, petroleum jelly, and neem can treat lice.

I know this might be a little random, but I figure chef's would know best! I am in the process of making some homemade Gluten-Free playdough for my Celiac Disease household. I am working to make sure it comes out with the best quality. I obviously cannot use flour like normal playdough, so I am using a mix of rice flour, corn starch, salt and cream of tartar as dry ingredients. I have been able to make some decent batches, but then others are shaky at best. The dough sometimes becomes too sticky or too chalky and gritty. I cannot get a mixture that manages to come out perfect. I was wondering if there was any other ingredient or if I should use more to create a smooth, but pliable dough? Any help would be great! Thank you!
Unusual Topic- Homemade GF Playdough!
ChefTalk.com Top Picks
Look up salt dough. It's a very thick cooked paste of cornstarch, and you then beat fine grained salt (popcorn salt I think) into it. It will dry out, unlike playdough. You can either color the dough, or paint the finished piece.
You can also get a gluten like texture with addition of IIRC xanthum and guar gums. I'd have to look it up.
Yes, I have heard about guar and xantham working to bind the ingredients together, but I have not tried it with the playdough. I will have to add it in my next batch. I have made the saltdough before, but although it comes out great it is not the ideal consistency we were looking for. Thanks for your response!
Xanthan Gum, Guar Gum, or Locust Bean Gum can all emulate a gluten texture. In industrial applications you'll generally see a few different hydrocolloids as they have a synergistic effect on each other and the final product requires less overall. Xanthan Gum will be the easiest to get your hands on. Check the gluten free baking section at your supermarket.
I'm going to try out the Xanthan Gum. The playdough tends to leave an odd chalky or dry residue on our hands after we use it for a little. I use equal parts rice flour, corn starch, and salt for the main dry ingredients. Would it make sense to take out a little corn starch when I add the xanthan? Would the corn starch be something that would give it the chalky residue? The actual texture and feel is great, but it is just a residue that comes off of it. Thanks!
Coffee ground dough:
2 cups used, dry coffee grounds
1/2 cup salt
1 1/2 cup cornmeal

Transports Infrastructure Deficit: CIoTA Proffer Solutions
As National Transport Summit Holds
The Chartered Institute of Transport Administration (CIoTA) Nigeria, is seeking alternative funding to address the deficit of infrastructure in Nigeria’s transport sector, under a Private Public Partnership (PPP) arrangement to rebuild and expand the country’s inadequate and dilapidated transport infrastructure.
CIoTA President, Dr. Bashir Jamoh at its pre- 2nd National Summit press briefing in Lagos said former Nigerian Military Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon (Rtd.) will chair the 2nd National Transport Summit to be organized by it next week.
Jamoh who is also the Director General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), disclosed that the event is scheduled to hold in Abuja from December 1st to December 3rd, 2020. He described the upcoming summit as an opportunity to build on the gains of CIoTA’s maiden edition also held in Abuja last December 2019.
Jamoh explained that CIoTA as a chartered transport body designated by legislation to drive the development of transportation sector in Nigeria, will continue to partner with government, policy makers and the private concerns to continually contribute to efforts to sustainable transport infrastructure system, particularly in addressing the sector’s inter-modal connectivity, through participatory funding and robust development partnership.
The CIoTA President disclosed that the summit will focus on highways and bridges, sea ports and air ports, through a functional and efficient PPP framework. He expressed hope that the summit would address sustainable transport infrastructure development in Nigeria in relation to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), analyze the innovations and current challenges in the air and road transport modes in Nigeria, and discuss the automobile industry in Nigeria showing an example of success in indigenous vehicle technology development.
He also described the building of inland ports as a hybrid innovation design to open the hinterland ports system, even as he noted that the rebuilding of Nigeria’s transport infrastructure is already ongoing on many front.
He said, “There are enormous challenges in the efforts towards developing the transportation sector in the country. These include funding, public-private partnerships (PPP) arrangements institution building, and the COVID-19 issues which have increased the risks of transportation globally. The summit will address the many facets of these issues, using the expertise and rich industrial experience of the speakers, discussants, and active audience participation.”
Others expected at the summit are the Minister of Transportation, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Amaechi, his FCT, Aviation, Works and Housing counterparts, Alhaji Mohammed Musa Bello, Engr. Hadi Sirika and Mr. Babatunde Fashola, respectively, in addition to the Minister of State for Transportation, Senator Gbemi Saraki.
Other dignitaries expected at the Summit include the Director-General of National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), Dr. George Moghalu; Managing Director of Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Hadiza Bala-Usman; Executive Secretary of Nigerian Shippers’ Council (NSC), Mr. Hassan Bello; the Managing Director, Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) Engr.

We were wondering when our fantasical hot mess would return!
And we have to admit, we are oh-so happy to see Ke$ha back to her cray cray fashion roots!
The glitter lovin' lady stepped out in quite the ensemble for the MTV Movie Awards red carpet.
From the see-through Gypsy Junkies pants to the dark makeup, this might be a fashion disaster, but it's Ke$ha's fashion disaster!
We're totes on board with her rockin' a girly cleaned up look one day and a dressed in the dark look another day.
Welcome back, gurl!

Is this really Ke$ha?!
We knew she was rocking a new, cleaned up look lately, but we didn't think it'd last!
The glitter queen stepped out at the NewNowNext Awards looking sweetly demure in a light blue dress.
Paired with very low-key, Yves Saint Laurent nude high heels and cutesy bangs, this feels like a whole new Ke$ha working that red carpet.
The only problem here is we're not sure we're ready to let go of the hot mess, glitzy, neon-lovin' singer we've come to adore!
Guess we'll just have to get used to a pulled together Ke$ha!

Ke$ha ditched her glitter and beer last night and headed to Jimmy Kimmel Live to chat about, well, glitter and beer.
The singer, who made an appearance on the late night show to talk about her upcoming MTV documentary My Crazy Beautiful Life, spoke up about her glitter-covering ways — beer and baby oil.
She even added the soon-to-be-infamous line:
Talk about a style evolution!!!
Ke$ha ditched her usual eccentric outfits for something a little more chic on Thursday night.
Following her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the singer exited the El Capitan Theatre looking perfectly polished with her blown out blonde tresses in a rhinestone studded, floral print O'2nd blazer, matching shorts and nude heels.
Ke$ha added a little pizazz with some decorative sunnies, but other than that she looked, dare we say, normal? Not to mention pretty!
It's hard to believe this is the same girl who used to bathe in beer and roll around in glitter!
What do U think of Ke$ha's new look? Love it or hate it???
[Image via David Durocher/WENN.]
Sorry boys and girls, but it looks like Ke$ha is officially off the market!
The pop songstress was spotted at a local gay bay in the super trendy Abbot Kinney neighborhood of Venice, California, and apparently she was getting DOWN with one lucky lady!
So how do we know she wasn’t just enjoying a night on the town with one of her gal pals?
Well, Ke$ha has been openly bisexual for quite some time now, and according to eyewitnesses, love was DEFINITELY in the air!
One source claims it was easy to tell they were on a date, saying:

Tornadoes - December 2009
December 2009 was a fairly active month in terms of preliminary tornado reports, with 52. This makes December 2009 the second busiest December of the decade, behind December 2002, which had 99 tornadoes, and the sixth busiest December since reliable records began in 1950. There were three significant tornado outbreaks for the month occurring on the 2nd, 23rd, and 24th. All tornadoes for the month were confined to the Southeast and Gulf Coast, which is typically expected for this time of year. Louisiana and Texas had the most tornado reports with 20 and 16, respectively. There were no tornado related fatalities reported for December.
The December 2nd outbreak had 7 preliminary tornado reports in Georgia and Florida. A low pressure system moved northward out of the Gulf of Mexico into the Ohio River Valley producing unstable conditions across much of the southeastern United States. There were widespread supercell thunderstorms embedded within a larger squall line that produced the tornadoes.
The outbreaks on December 23rd and 24th were associated with a very large extra-tropical cyclone that crossed the country, producing blizzard conditions from Texas to the Canadian border. The cold front associated with the large system produced squall lines and supercell thunderstorms, resulting in tornadoes across Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. For the two–day tornado event, Texas experienced 16 tornadoes, Louisiana 19, and Mississippi 1. There were 4 people injured in a housing sub-division in Acadia Parish, Louisiana.

The Great British Spring Clean
Saturday 24th-Sunday 25th March 2018
A group of very responsible pupils took on the Great British Spring Clean challenge this weekend, taking to the streets to help tidy up different areas of Luton!
Working in partnership with our friends from the Signposts charity, we donned our 'high-vis' jackets, grabbed our litter pickers and opened up our bin bags to collect over 60 bags of litter and really make an amazing difference to the appearance of our local community. It was a real team effort, with everyone working together to ensure every last bit of litter (however big or small!) was collected- no job was too small for our merry band of cleaners!
It was a wonderful opportunity for our pupils to give something back to their local community and actually being able to see what a real difference they've made...great work everyone!

Doctor insights on:
What Is The Incubation Period For Pneumonia
Average 2 days: The typical incubation period for influenza is 1—4 days (average: 2 days). Adults shed influenza virus from the day before symptoms begin through 5—10 days after illness onset. However, the amount of virus shed, and presumably infectivity, decreases rapidly by 3—5 days after onset in an experimental human infection model. ...Read more
HIV infection: This is probably the wrong question. There is no 'incubation' period. If you get infected with HIV you are infected with HIV and must be treated to prevent the immune destruction that leads to aids. Now, from exposure to full on infection is usually a fourteen to twenty-one day process. The new HIV viral tests can be 100% accurate at day 21 or later. ...Read more

Unhappy Holidays May Await Flyers Who Put Valuable Items in Checked Bags
Posted Dec 18, 2009 01:20 am CST
If you’re thinking about putting jewelry or a laptop computer in a checked bag when taking a holiday flight, you might want to think again.
Theft of valuables from luggage—often by airline employees or other airport workers—has gone up a lot lately. And airlines routinely deny passenger claims for reimbursement for such thefts, because the standard “contract of carriage” included in airline tickets excludes liability for lost or stolen valuables including laptop computers, cameras, other electronic equipment and art, reports the Wall Street Journal.
“There’s been a tremendous increase in the last five years,” says an unidentified prosecutor at the Queens County district attorney’s office in New York of the luggage thefts. “It’s pretty bad—a lot is getting stolen every day.”
If you can’t carry a valuable item with you on board, you’re better off shipping it to your destination, insured, the newspaper advises.

Filipino communities around the world, including in Canada, are celebrating Philippine Independence Day on June 12.
June 12 marks the 122nd anniversary of Philippine Independence. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau released a statement for the occasion which recognizes Filipinos many contributions to Canada’s diverse and multicultural society.
May Filipinos have made the long journey to Canada. Some have come as tourists, others have come as international students and as Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs). Filipinos have also come to Canada as new immigrants, adding even more to the country’s rich mosaic of heritage and culture.
PRESIDENT DUTERTE STATEMENT ON PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE DAY
June 12, 2020
I join the Filipino people in celebrating the Anniversary of the Proclamation of Philippine Independence.
One hundred and twenty-two years ago, our forebears, armed with nationalistic fervour and indomitable spirit, proclaimed the birth of a sovereign nation founded on democratic ideals and grand aspirations for a prosperous future. As heirs to this legacy, it is our unavoidable duty to protect the Republic that they established by defending our freedoms and preserving our way of life.
The fight against COVID-19 is an opportunity for this generation of Filipinos to embody the strength of character of the martyrs of our past as we collectively strive to weather this public health emergency. Taking inspiration from our modern day heroes, our healthcare professionals, law enforcement personnel, essential workers and other frontlines, let us contribute to this cause by dedicating our resources and sacrificing our petty desires for the sake of the common good.
Looking forward to the future with much optimism, let us all free ourselves from fear, selfishness and prejudice so that we may endure this pandemic and rebuild a society that we can confidently leave behind to future generations of Filipinos.
May we have a meaningful commemoration.
Rodrigo Roa Duterte

JUSTIN TRUDEAU STATEMENT ON PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE DAY
June 12, 2020
The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today issued the following statement on Philippine Independence Day:
“Today, we join the Filipino community in Canada and around the world to celebrate the 122nd anniversary of Philippine Independence.
“The Filipino community has become one of the fastest growing communities in Canada, reaching nearly one million people. The community enriches our national fabric, and plays a pivotal role in strengthening the close bonds between our two countries.
“Looking to the future, Canada will continue to work with the Philippines to deepen our relationship in a number of areas of common interest, such as international trade and development.
“As we mark Philippine Independence Day and given that June is Filipino Heritage Month, I encourage all Canadians to recognize the significant contributions and the rich culture and traditions that past and present generations of Canadians of Filipino origin have brought to our country. I extend my best wishes to all those celebrating today in Canada, the Philippines, and around the world.
“Maligayang Araw ng Kalayaan!

PHILIPPINE AMBASSADOR TO CANADA STATEMENT ON PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE DAY
June 12, 2020
Mahal kong mga kababayan,
June is upon us once again, a time of remembering our roots and honouring the men and women who have fought for the independence of the Republic of the Philippines and the freedom of the Filipino people. Since 1898, Filipino have come together every year in June to commemorate this important part of our history.
Last year, we had the opportunity to celebrate the first Filipino Heritage Month in Canada, a recognition generously given by the Government of Canada to honour the generations of Filipinos who have made Canada their new home and contributed to its well being.
The traditional activities that we have all come to anticipate and conscientiously prepare for every year have been put on hold, however as we face a situation unprecedented in our lifetime. The COVID-19 pandemic affects all countries around the world, including the Philippines and Canada, and the spirit of bayanihan now exhorts us to forego our usual celebrations to keep ourselves, our loved ones and our communities safe and healthy. This is a difficult challenge for all of us, but one that will ultimately lead us closer to the day when we can one again gather in fellowship.
This period is likewise an occasion for us to express our appreciation for the people who are leading efforts to address the pandemic. Filipinos in Canada count among the many workers at the frontlines of this endeavour. Their presence in the healthcare sector and other essential services are invaluable in the maintenance of public health and safety and sia a reminder that heroism does not only belong to the past. We salute them of their dedication and hard work. We honour those who gave their lives in carrying out their oath to serve humanity.
I wish you all well and look forward to the near future when Filipinos in Canada can once again come together in celebration of our heritage and history.
Mabuhay kayang lahat!

ACCOMPLISHED swimmer Jayde Martens-Shaw has been juggling a busy work schedule to try to train as much as possible for Saturday’s Wagga’s Sports Champion event.
Martens-Shaw is one of eight new faces who will take part in the male division of Wagga’s Sports Champion on Saturday and will be the man to beat when the athletes hit the pool.
The 25-year-old athlete left Wagga when he was 16 and has spent time in Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra and Perth as he pursued a career in swimming.
Martens-Shaw has since put swimming on the backburner as he balances his time between a double degree in sports science and sports management at University of Canberra, along with his job at Red Bull.
While he admits it is a busy lifestyle, Martens-Shaw explained yesterday he had been trying to fit in as much training as possible before of Saturday’s Wagga’s Sports Champion at Bolton Park.
“I’m based in Canberra and work between there and Sydney so there is a lot of driving between both which keeps me really busy,” Martens-Shaw said yesterday.
“Finding time to train is challenging but I’ve tried to do as much as I can, when I can, in order to try and match it with the full-time athletes.
“Like all athletes, I’m doing it because I like a challenge and it should be a bit of fun.”
Martens-Shaw will be the one to beat in the 50-metre freestyle given his background in swimming. It will also give him a handy advantage come the multi-sport challenge at the end of the day, which involves a 200-metre kayak, 800m run, 200m swim and 40m sprint finish.
He said the 100m sprint, plus the AFL goal kicking will be two of the more challenging events for him.
Martens-Shaw said he would love to walk away with a top-five finish.
“Who knows, it would be a dream to compete with the top guys,” Martens-Shaw said. “My goal is just to be able to mix it with those boys, it would great if I could finish top five.”
Martens-Shaw was unsure which athlete will be the one to beat on Saturday.
He said he was looking forward to competing with good mate Rob McMahon and described him as the dark horse of the competition.
Strengths: 50m freestyle, multi-sportchallenge
Weaknesses: 100m sprint, AFL goal kicking

Yampolskiy stresses the urgent need for enhanced research in AI safety measures, advocating for a balanced approach prioritizing human control.
- Yampolskiy’s review reveals no concrete proof of AI control, suggesting superintelligent AI development could lead to human extinction.
- The complexity and autonomy of AI systems pose challenges in predicting their decisions and aligning with human values.
- Yampolskiy calls for transparent, understandable, and modifiable AI systems, emphasizing the importance of safety research.
- The book warns against AI development without evidence of safe control, considering it a crucial problem poorly understood and researched.

said it saw a recovery in construction markets in June after the coronavirus
pandemic battered its sales and profit during the second quarter.
The world's biggest cement maker said its sales fell 24% to 5.4 billion Swiss francs ($5.92 billion), beating the 4.93 billion francs expected by analysts in a company-gathered consensus. Like-for-like sales, which cut out the impact of currency changes and divestments, were 17% lower.
Recurring operating profit (EBIT) shrank 32% to 932 million francs, beating the 725 million francs consensus.
LafargeHolcim, which earlier this year ditched its full year guidance, had previously said it expected the second quarter to be the worst hit as COVID-19 shut down construction projects around the world.
But the company said it had hit the bottom of the crisis, with sales in all five of its regions returning to 2019 levels by the end of June as lockdowns eased.
For the rest of 2020 it said it expects a fast recovery in demand, and expected a "solid" second half of the year, generating free cash flow above 2 billion francs.
"The peak of the crisis is behind us," Chief Executive Jan Jenisch in a statement. "We expect a solid second half of the year based on June's full recovery, the trend of our order book and upcoming government stimulus packages."

Sagres Bird Festival, Portugal - 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 5th October, 2014
Sagres Bird Festival runs for 4 days this year.
See the website in English (and Portuguese and Spanish) here:
A multitude of activities are offered, many of them free - just register on the website and turn up!
Apart from birdwatching trips around the peninsula, there's plenty more of things to participate in; ringing sessions, raptor monitoring, talks and presentations, pelagic boat trips and much more including activities related with other nature, the local history and things for children to do too.
If none of this is tempting; 143 species were seen during the 3 days of last years festival - inc. some 20 species of raptors. Additionally, Sagres is brilliant for fresh fish in some charming seaside restaurants (we now also have a fabulous Indian restaurant if one gets homesick ). Sagres has the most stunning beaches in the Algarve (and that's saying something!) - so non-birding wives are well catered for too!

A melodic pop song, winner of the Anglican Church of Canada’s Marks of Mission contest, is being released today as a music video and multimedia website. “Hope” by Jaylene Johnson and Jim Kimball topped more than 70 entries ranging in style from rock to choral.
The song features established talents. Johnson, a Winnipeg-based singer-songwriter has featured music on TV showsPretty Little Liars and Degrassi: the Next Generation. Nashville musician Kimball has toured with Reba McEntire, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, and Justin Timberlake.
The original music video, produced by Anglican Video, is the centerpiece of the launch website, which also includes behind-the-scenes features on collaborators, including the Good Noise Vancouver Gospel Choir and producer Randy Murray, communications officer at the Diocese of New Westminster and a former member of rock group BTO.
It was Murray who pulled together this team of crack musicians for the recording sessions in Vancouver, March 2012. It came together over hours of hard work, beautiful sounds, and then ultimately, a polished final product.
The song itself is both catchy and deep. Its lyrics describe a hope that is enduring, beyond cheap gestures of “pulling petals off” or keeping “fingers crossed.”
Johnson said these words were inspired partially by her battle with chronic pain after a car accident.
“I think hope is mysterious or maybe not so mysterious when we walk with God,” she said.
Johnson also works as ministry coordinator at st. benedict’s table, an Anglican mission, in Winnipeg. On the website the Rev. Jamie Howison, priest at st. benedict’s table, explains why he appreciates the message of “Hope.”
The Primate, Archbishop Fred Hiltz, is also a fan.
“I thank Jaylene and James for this song,” he said. “Thank you for its message of hope as a tiny voice that makes its way through all the noise of the world, and says ‘hold on.’
“This song reminds me that our times are in God’s hands and that hope truly is the song in the heart of our Church—at worship and at work in the world.”
Parishes may wish to consider sharing the song during the Epiphany season, or on this special Sunday, Jan. 13, which marks the Baptism of our Lord.
The song contest called for entries that represented the Marks of Mission—five priorities for ministry used throughout the global Anglican Communion. Songs were judged by a team of expert musicians.
General Synod also ran two other related contests to celebrate the Marks of Mission: a Sunday School curriculum contest, which resulted in the Compendium of the Church Mice, and a photography contest, open until Jan. 31.

New Zealand driver Scott Dixon is relaxed despite finding himself behind his leading rivals on the grid for the deciding race in the IndyCar series.
Dixon will win a fifth series crown if victorious in the closing event in Sonoma, California on Monday (NZT).
However, the Chip Ganassi Racing driver will need to do it from sixth on the grid and see off a challenge from four Team Penske drivers still all mathematically in contention.
At the head of that list is series-leading American Josef Newgarden, who broke the track record three times in qualifying to claim pole position.
Newgarden, chasing a maiden series title, picked up a point for his qualifying efforts to sit four in front of second-ranked Dixon heading into the double-points race.
Behind Newgarden on the grid are three team-mates, in order: Australian Will Power, Frenchman Simon Pagenaud and Brazilian Helio Castroneves.
All could claim overall honours if results fall their way.
Dixon was wary of his car's speed limitations but he has a good history at the race and believes strategy will play an important role.
"The Penske group are fast here, and it's exactly what we expect, but the race is going to be interesting," Dixon said.
"We can definitely make it work."
Dixon's most recent title in 2015 ended with a victory at Sonoma after starting ninth on the grid. He tied with Juan Pablo Montoya in the standings and won the championship on a tie-breaker.
That result was in the mind of Team Penske owner, Roger Penske.
"I think Scott Dixon is one of the very best out here, and I respect him and the team.
"But Josef's got a great opportunity, and we've got three other guys that can win this thing."
One more series title would lift Dixon, 37, to outright second on the all-time list behind seven-time champion AJ Foyt of the United States.

On Wednesday night, after a multistate manhunt involving the Federal Bureau of Investigation, US resident Elias Abuelazam was nabbed at the Hartsfield-Jackson international airport in Atlanta before getting on a flight to Tel Aviv. He is suspected of 18 stabbings across three states, killing five. The manhunt holds a special place in crime annals for a simple reason: They provide a combination of imminent danger to the public with folk-hero lore – embodied by movies like "The Fugitive." Here are four memorable (and real) modern manhunts:
Banning large sodas, blocking restaurants in some neighborhoods, posting calories, kicking snack foods out of schools. Are anti-obesity campaigns crossing the line into nanny state intrusion?

Fleetwood Mac are rumoured to headline Glastonbury next June.
The Sun reports frontwoman Stevie Nicks announced: “If everything goes well we’ll be in Europe doing festivals this summer, then we’ll actually tour Europe.”
The reunited band have announced a US tour which ends two weeks before the Somerset festival.
Festival boss Emily Eavis previously admitted that she would love to see them headline the Pyramid Stage in 2013.
They band - whose biggest album, 'Rumours', has sold more than 40million copies – are back on the road with two new songs, but Nicks isn't sure if they will make another album.
Nicks recently sang on tracks that bandmates Lindsey Buckingham, Mick Fleetwood and John McVie worked on, calling the sessions "great", although she admitted she wasn't sure where the band fits in today's music industry.
"Whether or not we're gonna do any more (songs), we don't know because we're so completely bummed out with the state of the music industry and the fact that nobody even wants a full record," she told AP. "Everybody wants two songs, so we're going to give them two songs."
The band said the response to the new tracks during their 34-city North American tour - which Buckingham calls "the most Fleetwood Mac-y stuff ... in a long time" - would determine whether more material would come.
"Maybe we'll get an EP out of it or something," Buckingham said.
The group are celebrating the 35th anniversary of their best-selling 'Rumours' album.
Buckingham said he initially wanted to record a new album, but Stevie "wasn't too into that". But the guitarist and singer knows that new music isn't a priority for the band's fans.
"It wouldn't matter if they didn't hear anything new. In a way there's a freedom to that - it becomes not what you got, but what you do with what you got. Part of the challenge of this tour is figuring out a presentation that has some twists and turns to it without having a full album," he said.
