Burney-Fall River Interact Students travel to Mexico to serve
News from Bob Jehn of Burney-Fall River Rotary Club:
During President's Day Weekend, five Interact students from Burney and Fall River High Schools traveled with five adult advisors to Agua Prieta, Mexico to perform community service alongside members of the Rotary Club and Rotaract Club of Agua Preita.
Students cooked hamburgers for 200 children in an underserved neighborhood, painted an amphitheater that had previously been a site for drug sales, handed out soccer balls to children at an after-school foster child facility, painted a mural they designed on the wall of the dining room at a nursing home, visited a local high school where they interested students in forming an Interact Club, and painted classrooms at a school for disabled children.
Intermountain Interactors were overwhelmed by some of the living conditions they saw and want to help more. The mother of one of the students who went on the trip said her daughter's life is "forever changed".
Rotarian Bob Jehn, who has organized the trip for the last two years said, "Providing these kind of experiences for the youth of our community gives me great satisfaction. It is a great pleasure for me to head up our Rotary Club's youth programs, and seeing the Interact student's happy, bright, smiling faces is what gives me hope for the future."
Local Rotarian goes to India to administer polio vaccine to children
News release from Bob Jehn, Rotary Club of Burney-Fall River:
Rotarian Patricia Bergman headed to Delhi on January 28 to join Anil Garg of the Rotary Club of Simi Valley, California, along with a group of Rotarians from around the world to administer polio vaccine to children in India. The group will be vaccinating children during the country's National Immunization Days.
"When this program was started back in 1985, there were 1,000 cases per day worldwide, and it was endemic in 125 countries," said Bergman. "Last year we had only 30 cases worldwide; the year before that we only had 22 cases worldwide, and that was in two countries, Pakistan and Afghanistan. So, we are very, very, very close in eradicating the disease."
Bergman and the group attended three orientation programs with representatives from the World Health Organization, UNICEF and India's national polio committee office.
India hasn't had a polio case in five years, but because the virus is still present in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and it would take only one flight to bring the virus back into the country where, so far, Rotary has spent over $8 billion in this program since 1985.
On Feb. 1, the team flew to Nagpur, located in central India, where they were taken around the local areas to meet with different Rotary clubs. High school, middle school, and elementary school students went around town with banners promoting a polio-free country, a polio-free city, rallying to motivate people.
On February 2, the group began to administer the liquid drops to children 5 and younger.
"It is very satisfying to be able to participate in this Rotary-sponsored program," said Bergman. "To be on the ground with a program that Rotary has been working on since I joined the organization 25 years ago is a truly humbling experience."

Kim Niemer explains FOIL action plan in meeting at Burney Lions Hall
On Tuesday evening January 22 at the Burney Lions Hall, the Friends of the Intermountain Library (FOIL) held a meeting to update the Burney community on the status of efforts to acquire a new building for the Intermountain branch of the Shasta County Library system in Burney.
About 50 community members attended the event. FOIL president Pat Pell moderated the meeting. Ms. Pell thanked Lions Club President Mike Barnes for hosting the meeting on short notice and thanked the Burney Lions and the Rotary Club for their support for the project.
Pell then welcomed several people who have been helping prepare the FOIL plan. Kim Niemer, the evening's main presenter, is the Redding Community Services Director. In that capacity, she helps to oversee the governance of the Shasta County Library System.
Francie Sullivan is currently a Shasta County Library Advisory Board representative. She lived in Burney and has served on the Shasta County Board of Supervisors and was on the Redding City Council from 2010 to 2018.
Peggy O'Lea is the retired director of the Shasta Library Foundation who helped to organize community support for the new Redding Library.
Anna M. Tracy is the Library Director for the Shasta Public Libraries who has been coming to Burney once a month to work with the Burney Library.
Ms. Pell also introduced the current officers and members of the FOIL Board and Kevin McKay, a general contractor from Cassel who has helped FOIL work through some of the practical aspects of improvements that are necessary for the proposed building.
Before Ms. Niemer's presentation of FOIL's action plan, Shasta County Supervisor Mary Rickert made brief comments. Rickert said that she came as an observer, explaining that she could not take a position on the proposed library building because she needs to remain open to all points of view until the public hearing has taken place at the Board of Supervisors and a vote is taken. She also said that she needs to be careful to abide by the Brown Act.
After Supervisor Rickert's remarks, Pell invited Ms. Niemer to speak. Ms. Niemer gave a 25 minute power point presentation in which she explained some of the history of the library and FOIL's action plan for completion of the building project.
Ms. Niemer's presentation began with a timeline of the history of the Burney Library in the context of the Shasta County Library system. The Burney Library became Shasta County's first branch library in 1949. The current library building was built in 1969.
In 1989, all 14 of the Shasta County Library branches were closed due to a funding crisis. FOIL was formed to combat funding issues. In 1990, Shasta County along with the Cities of Redding and Anderson agreed to fund and reopen three libraries as part of the Shasta County Library system: Redding, Anderson, and Burney. FOIL has been making annual contributions as a part of the agreement. In 1999, FOIL's contributions increased to over $11,000 per year.
In 2003, the State of California awarded a $12 million grant for the building of a new Redding library. FOIL continued to financially support the library system.
In 2004, another funding crisis led to shortened library hours. A Library Governance and Financing Task Force was formed to evaluate library services. FOIL continued their support during the hour shortage. In 2005, the task force recommended transferring governance to the City of Redding and in 2006, the Shasta County Board of Supervisors entered a 40 year contract with the City of Redding to manage County Library Services. That same year, the Redding City Council hired Library Systems and Services LLC to manage the library system. The arrangement has proved efficient and cost effective. The new Redding Library opened in 2007.
In 2008, Shasta County entered a community benefit agreement with the Hatchet Ridge Wind LLC. Hatchet Ridge Wind provided a grant of $1 million and an additional $100,000 per year for 20 years. The payments are to be used for the benefit of Burney and the surrounding area.
In 2009, FOIL made the expansion and relocation of the Burney Branch Library a priority. In 2012, Shasta County agreed to a preliminary feasibility study for a new library building. The study was completed in 2013. In 2014, the study was presented to the Board of Supervisors and the Board approved and set aside a $400,000 grant for a new library building contingent upon the formulation of a feasible plan and successful fundraising by FOIL.
After FOIL determined that the best location for a new building was the Roper building on Main Street, Shasta County did an assessment of the Roper building in 2016. In 2018, an official appraisal of the building was completed. The appraisal came in at $285,000.
There is a difference between the appraised value and the assessment of the building by the County. The County maintains that the value of the property is $300,000, which is the price that Mr. Roper is asking for the building. There are ongoing discussions on how to bridge the gap.
Ms. Niemar explained that the project is nearing the finish line. FOIL is hoping to bring their proposed plan before the Board of Supervisors in February for consideration as an action item. Their plan involves shared responsibility amongst Shasta County, The City of Redding, and FOIL.
FOIL is hoping that the plan will be accepted and that the County will approve release of the $400,000 Windmill funds for the purchase of the building and installation of a visual fire alarm system.
FOIL would need to complete their fundraising. According Ms. Pell, FOIL has $50,000 in cash and an additional $50,000 in pledges. Several foundations have indicated that they would also provide grants once a building is secured. They would be responsible for completing interior ADA improvements, parking lot improvements and moving the contents of the library to the new location.
The City of Redding would coordinate with the County on implementation of the action plan. Ms. Niemer proposed that he City of Redding would complete the parking lot improvements in coordination with FOIL and partner with FOIL on relocation and start-up.
Niemer presented a proposed budget detailing the costs to the County and FOIL respectively as follows:
Shasta County
Property and associated costs $299,250
Tenant Improvements $ 11,523
ADA and Safety $ 45,000
Engineering/Inspection/Administration $ 23,650
Total $379, 423
Friends of the Intermountain Library
Interior checklist (including ADA) $ 30,000
Parking lot $ 40,000
Miscellaneous furnishings $ 10,000
Contingency $ 20,000
Total $100,000
Ms. Neimer concluded her presentation by saying, "This is sort of our Hail Mary. If we don't do this project at this time on this building, we know we lose the Rotary money because that money is going away quickly, there's not really any other building on Main Street that is suitable, and I think that the patience and focus at Shasta County on this project goes away too. So now is the time if this is going to happen. I think we have before you a plan that is very viable and feasible. Now is the people part."
She then invited Francie Sullivan and Peggy O'Lea to come forward to share. Both advised everyone to write or Email all of the members of the Board of Supervisors to encourage them to support the project.
There are five Supervisors on the Shasta County Board of Supervisors. In order for the project to be approved, three Board Members of the Board will need to vote in favor of the plan.
Ms. Sullivan also stressed the advantages that the County Library system provides and the difference between the County Library system and local lending libraries.
The discussion led to an extended period of question and answer during which Niemer, Sullivan, O'Lea, and Anna Tracy explained in more detail the plans and functions of the library.
A copy of the power point presentation on the action plan is available at the Burney Library.
People desiring more information about the plan, proposed library services, or how they can help, please contact Pat Pell, FOIL President, 335-7236 or email@example.com.

Rotary Club of Burney-Fall River hosts foreign exchange student victimized by Camp Fire
NEWS RELEASE from Bob Jehn, November 10, 2018:
Imagine yourself in a foreign country trying to communicate in a new language when suddenly a massive wildfire sweeps through the town where you are living, destroying your house and everything you brought with you except your passport, your cell phone, and the clothes you are wearing. That's exactly what happened to Valeria Romo Mejia, a fifteen-year-old Rotary Youth Exchange Student from Columbia, as she was preparing to leave for classes at Paradise High School on November 8th.
Victims of the most destructive fire in California history, Valeria and her host family endured the four-hour drive to Chico with more than 20,000 others who were trying to escape the flames, not knowing what would be next.
Thanks to the Rotary support network and a quick decision by Rotary Club President-Elect and Burney Fire Chief Monte Keady, Valeria is safely in Burney in her own room at Monte and Robin Keady's home. The Keadys were already hosting Austrian Exchange Student Katharina Schatz, who had made friends with Valeria at the Interact Kickoff Event in Winters, California last month.
Rotary Youth Exchange Officer Bob Jehn along with Rotary District personnel is coordinating the effort to provide immediate financial assistance to Valeria, so she can purchase new clothes, school supplies, and other personal items lost in the fire.
Jehn says, "We hope Valeria decides to stay in Burney for the rest of her exchange year, but we're taking it one day at a time. I'm just so proud to be part of an organization with members like Monte and Robin, who are always thinking of how they can help others."

Interact Students perform community service at Bella Vista Farms
From Bob Jehn:
Underscoring their penchant for community service, members of the Interact Clubs of Burney and Fall River High Schools spent Sunday, October 28 performing chores at the only animal rescue center in Shasta County.
Sixteen students descended upon Bella Vista Farms in Cottonwood to muck out animal stalls and clear brush for fire protection supervised by Interact Advisors Bob Jehn, Willie Rodriquez, and Brenda Rodriguez. Burney High School Science teacher Mark Harner wielded a chain saw while students dragged branches and weeds into burn piles to be burned later this fall.
Owners and operators of the facility, Chic Miller and her husband Bob, ages 71 and 80, respectively, were very grateful for the help as they depend on only grant funding and private donations to support the operation. The facility houses over 100 animals that have been abandoned, abused, or injured, and as Chic says, "We don't adopt out – the animals live out their lives at Bella Vista Farms."
Chic does much of the veterinary work at the facility, and has written a book about caring for animals.
The Interact Club of Fall River High School has also made monetary contributions to the facility to help support the work that Chic and Bob do. After the latest contribution from the Interactors Chic said, "Oh my gosh, I can't thank you all enough…I can't tell you how much I love you kids."

The phosphate stone separation processing from impurities and non-phosphate materials for use in fertilizer manufacture consists of beneficiation, drying or calcining and grinding. Phosphate stone from the mines is first sent to beneficiation units to separate sand and clay and to remove impurities.
Phosphate beneficiation plant involves many different types of machines such as phosphate quarry machine, stone crusher, phosphate powder grinding mill, phosphate separation machine, drying machine, processing plant etc.
Phosphate Beneficiation Application
Beneficiation of ultrafine phosphate is the process of recovery of phosphate particles less than 20 lm in size. It has been standard practice over many years in the phosphate industry to separate and discard the ultrafine particles, due to unacceptable processing difficulties such as excessively high viscosity and poor fiotation recovery.
In contrast with the established methods of beneficiation of phosphate where classification by hydrocyclone is mainly used to remove ultrafine as tailings, the method described in this paper allows a high proportion of ultrafine to be recovered via fiotation without prior separation.
Phosphate Crushing Machine for Beneficiation
Crushing is the first stage in phosphate beneficiation process. Primary size reduction generally is accomplished by crushers and grinding mills. Some classification of the primary crushed stone may be necessary before secondary grinding takes place. Extensive crushing and grinding is necessary to liberate phosphate from the material. Stone maybe crushed in two or three different phases: primary, secondary and tertiary crushing. Stone crushing process often involves one or more phases of screening to separate the different sized varieties.
The often used phosphate crushing machine includes jaw crusher, impact crusher, cone crusher, mobile crusher etc. Crushing machine is the important phosphate beneficiation plant. It produces fine particle size, and prepares for further processing. SBM is global supplier of service for consulting, design, manufacture of mining equipment. We customize crushing, processing and beneficiation solution for customers. If you are interested, please contact us for more information.

Fishbowl California Review
Much like its title suggests, there's a sunny, orange glow to Fishbowl California (2018) that immediately draws you in and which runs throughout the entirety of this endearing comedy-drama. But just like the many fast food cartons covering Rodney's (Steve Olson) floor, there is an underlying bleakness to writer-director Michael A. MacRae's feature debut that gives Fishbowl... an unexpected edge, lifting it above what we'd normally expect from a film such as this.
The 'fishbowl' itself refers to one of the many things in Rodney's life that isn't going anywhere, his girlfriend (Katrina Bowden) stating early on that he can't even think of a name for his goldfish, let alone decide on what he wants to do with himself. Cue several failed job interviews as Rodney tries to pull his socks up and adult as much as possible, while also avoiding the inevitable eviction from his tiny apartment. But when he finds out his girlfriend has moved on without him, a chance encounter with a cantankerous older lady called June (Katherine Cortez) gives the down-on-his-luck Rodney a new opportunity and a place to take stock of where his life is (or isn't) heading, while the alcoholic, increasingly ill June also begins to see the error of her ways.
It is this central relationship between Rodney and June which drives the story, this unlikely pair gradually learning and growing from each other in a way that only people in films can. Indeed, although this age-old cinematic trope is in real danger of being predictable, Fishbowl... is able to mostly keep you on your toes throughout, even turning in an ending which is, although not exactly groundbreaking, a delight to see. MacRae's ability to keep a delicate balance between the comedy and the drama throughout helps in this respect, but it is both Olson and Cortez's brilliant performances and onscreen chemistry that really sell this odd couple aspect, scenes between the two always a joy to watch, even during the more sombre moments. Cortez in particular is stellar as June, her bitter yet touching portrayal really emphasising the solitude that June tries to blank out every day. Her performance also results in some truly heartbreaking scenes later on, especially when it becomes apparent how sick she really is.
However despite these triumphs, it still feels as though the film could have expanded on their relationship even further, making the poignancy, as well as the laughter, resonate all the more. The ending in particular is tied up a little too neatly when it seems like there is so much more to say about Rodney and June's dysfunctional lives, meaning the realism of the story suffers in the long run. This also isn't helped by its tendency to rely on the quirky, especially when being used to get a quick laugh. While Rodney and his man-child shtick treads a fine line in this respect, Olson is so appealing in these moments that you can't help but like this character (his comedy side really coming out in those many job interviews, which are all genuinely hilarious to watch). But characters such as the wise-beyond-his-years-kid (Lucas Krystek) who pops up time and time again to offer Rodney advice is something that, although humorous at first, becomes grating through repeated use – a running gag that seems so unnecessary.
Hit and miss though it may be, Fishbowl California is an enjoyable film that is admirable for wearing its heart on its sleeve, and is more watchable than similar films of its kind. Olson and Cortez really sell it though, their relationship affecting and well-realised, while the overall bright and warm look of the whole film is very appealing. Not the most memorable comedy-drama you'll ever see, but one in which you can feel the love that went into making it, always an impressive trait for a film.
Fishbowl California isn't the most groundbreaking film, but a tender little story about an unlikely friendship keeps it watchable, as does the brilliant central performances from Katherine Cortez and Steve Olson.

Strawberry is a sativa and, like most sativas, it focuses its high cerebrally. It can supply users with a significant mood boost, bouts of energy, increased creative impulses, and clarity of the mind. Sativas are often good choices for friendly gatherings and parties because they can get the conversation flowing. Strawberry is known for having a flavor profile similar to the fruit that gives it its name, and it is sweet on the tongue. Some users may experience paranoia or develop headaches when trying out this strain, so use with caution.
Sativa strains contain psychoactive chemical compounds known as cannabinoids that are consumed for medicinal, recreational and spiritual purposes. Sativa strains are uplifting and cerebral, enhancing creativity and productivity. In traditional medicine sativa has been used as sedative, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, hallucinogenic and hypnotic agent.

In WordPress themes, the style.css file defines the theme itself: its name, description, and other meta information as well as its styles. All WordPress themes must have a style.css file, and knowing how to use it allows you to start customizing the theme to fit your designs and requirements. This online tutorial shows you how to set up and configure the _s style.css file for your custom WordPress theme.
- [Instructor] From here on forward, we'll be working with code in the theme. As we progress from one movie to the next, I'll provide exercise files, both in the downloads for the course and as individual GitHub branches, and the repo that established a starting point for that movie. That means, starting right now and moving forward, you should add the exercise files for the current movie you are watching into your Humescores folder. That way, you and I will be working on the exact same code. Since this is the first time we're working with code, let me quickly walk you through the initial set up process. You'll do this every time you reboot your computer and get ready to work on your theme.
First boot up your local server environments. That would be either Wampserver on Windows or Mamp on a Mac. When the server environment is running, make sure it's running by going to your browser and navigating to your site, in my case humescores.dev and see it's running here and everything works fine so that means we can move to the next step. Next boot up your IDE, in my case NetBeans. Inside the IDE navigate directly to your theme folder, so wp-content, themes and humescores. Then open terminal or command prompt.
Navigate to the folder that contains your WordPress project, and then the themes folder and gulp-dev. And from here, run the gulp process. This boots up the watch process and browser sync and if everything works properly, browser sync will open a new tab in your browser that shows you the site. Now this tab is synced directly with my development site, meaning if I make changes on the development end, this page here in my browser will automatically update accordingly. That means I can close the original tab, and I'm left with just the tab I'm going to be working in.
Alright the set up is done, let's go. When building a new custom theme from scratch, it's important to start out right. In this chapter we're going to set up the core of the theme including the theme metadata, functions, web fonts and basic css to create a starting point for our design. I always like to start with a metadata to make my freshly downloaded version of underscores truly my own. What's this metadata you ask? Well if we go to the back end of the site right now, log into the site, and then go to appearance and themes.
You'll see Humescores is active, and if you click on theme details, you have very sparse details. So that says the current theme is Humescores version 1.0.0 by Morten Rand-Hendriksen, this links to my course page. And then it has a really short description, that's it. All this information is controlled from style.css and the theme. In style.css at the very top we have this commented out section that contains all that metainformation. So here you can see the theme name is Humescores, the theme URI is currently the underscores.me site.
Then author is me and the author URI is my courses. Then there's a short description and some other information. This is where you define the metadata for you theme. And here you can add as much or as little information as you want. Now I say in this file but I don't actually mean in this specific file. We are working with sass in this project and all of this is what sass generates, so instead of editing style.css, which will be overwritten in a second, we're going to work inside the sass folder. In the sass folder, there's a file called style.scss and when you open that you'll see it starts in the exact same way.
This is the main style sheet for the entire sass setup, and it starts with the full metadata for your theme. So here we can make those changes and those changes, once compiled will move over to style.css I'm not going to change the theme name because it's correct. I will change the theme URI, it should be the GitHub repo, so github.com/mor10/humescores The author stays the same and my author URI stays the same. I want to change the description a bit.
It shouldn't say an awesome Humescores based theme, it should say a new theme for a new time. This theme showcases best of WordPress and Underscores and is the project for the Building Themes from Scratch Using Underscores Course at LinkedIn Learning and Lynda.com If I want to I can change the version number, I can set up a different license.
Now remember this is WordPress, so it always has to be the GPL but you can change the license version if you want to. You can also change the URL for the license to match that version number. And you can change the text domain. Finally you have this tags section. This is only relevant if you plan on publishing your theme in the WordPress theme directory. In that case you need to apply tags that actually match with your theme, and the tags have changed recently. So if you want to use tags, you need to check with the codex and the handbook to make sure you're using tags that are permitted.
Alright so I've made some changes to style.scss You can see right now that the changes have not taken place in style.css just yet. But when I save this and then go to either command line or terminal, you can see saving.files started a bunch of processes. So here we started the css process and then the browser's reloaded. That means if I go back to style.css now, the file has been updated so here you see my much longer description and the correct theme URI. And if I go to my site, it's been auto updated by browser sync.
So now you see the new information displayed here inside my theme metadata. That means the information about my theme is correct and I can move on to start changing the theme itself.

The Chateau is listed as an exceptional Walloon heritage site and is a typical example of the architecture from Liège. Built in whitewashed bricks and blue stones, it forms a harmonious architectural entity. The events take place in the Chateau's beautiful independent outbuildings. Stéphane de Harlez de Deulin, very professional and a passionate antique dealer, restored this building and made it a venue dedicated to special events with a great respect of the existing heritage and the beauty of the site.
The property extends over 24ha and consists of French gardens, waterways and woods. This presents you with a wide variety of choices when planning your event. The Chapel, forming part of the Chateau, is dedicated to Saint Remacle (approximately 100 people).
Accommodation is available in the bedrooms dating back to the XVIIITH century.
It is possible to access the venue a few days prior to your event for organising and planning.
We will not hire any other part of the property during your event (wedding, team building meeting, seminaries, etc…) to respect your privacy and make your event unique and tailor made for you.

freedom of religion and expression
Slaw: Four Christians arguing right to religious freedom at work before European Court of Human Rights
On Wednesday September 5, 2012, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) in Strasbourg heard arguments from four workers challenging British judgments over the expressions of their religious faith in the workplace. Two are arguing for the right to wear a cross at work, while the others object to dealing with same sex couples.
How to decide if a religious belief should be accommodated
Under human rights legislation in all jurisdictions in Canada, employers cannot ignore the religious needs or observances of employees but must work with employees to try to accommodate them. In addition, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms protects freedom of religion and expression…

Over the past 15 years, our work in the genomics space, and the scientific landscape itself, has evolved significantly. Accordingly, we have changed the name of our organization from "Ontario Genomics Institute" to "Ontario Genomics."
We see this change as an opportunity to align our name to more accurately reflect what we do as specialists: stimulating, enabling and nurturing genomics innovation in the province of Ontario. While we continue to work with companies, researchers, policy makers, funders and enablers to pull genomics technologies from the lab, removing the word "Institute" from our name eliminates the confusion that we ourselves participate in research.
All current processes and agreements will remain fully valid and continue without change. The name change does not affect the legal personality of the existing entity "Ontario Genomics Institute" which retains its rights and obligations in all existing legal relationships.

Mallorca in March and winter is behind us. Spring-like temperatures and increased sunshine coax nature's buds to blossom and the island starts to bloom. Likewise, Mallorca's inhabitants are getting out and enjoying this mellow period. From March onwards, free from the chill or the heat of a Balearic summer, you can appreciate warmth, sunshine and – hopefully – dry days and nights.
It may not be perfect (nights are still cold and the sea is still only 14°C , on average) but compared with Northern Europe at this time of year, Mallorca feels almost balmy.
What's the weather like in Mallorca in March?
March weather in Mallorca is generally warm enough to warrant a light sweater – although the locals may disagree! Rain is moderate, falling to half of that expected in January, and overall conditions are stable. It's noticeably warmer than February, and time to unwind and relax after a chilly Balearic winter.
To see what the weather is like in Mallorca today, please click here.
Weather Mallorca
The weather in Mallorca is understandably a strong attraction for many visitors to the island. Its climate falls into the category of temperate subtropical, which means hot summers and short, generally mild winters.
Average Temperatures in March in Mallorca
While the highest recorded temperature in Mallorca in March is an impressive 29°C , it's more realistic to anticipate highs of around 17°C . At the start of the month, the day temperature is 9-10°C , and by the end of the month this has climbed to 12-13°C . Cloudy spells are a given – and so is sunshine.
Hours of daylight
It feels pleasantly warm in Mallorca in March with an average seven hours of sun. There are just over 11 hours of daylight per day, with sunrise occurring at 07:25 hrs on 1st March, and sunset at 18:43 hrs. Sunset extends to 07:38 hrs by 31st March, and sunset to 20:13 hrs.
What to do & see in Mallorca in March?
Food, festivals, cars and art: March brings a succession of events to Mallorca. In addition to Port Adriano's Street Food Festival, Classic Rally Mallorca and Palma's sailing regatta, there are a number of art happenings and smaller festivals taking place.
A pottery fair in Marratxi celebrating crafts, an agricultural fair in Son Ferriol and St. Patrick's Day in Santa Ponsa are a few events to enjoy on the island in March – alongside superb hiking, cycling and city attractions.

Bird baths providing water are not the only type of bath needed and used by wild birds.
There are a couple of other peculiar types of "bathing" needs that wild birds have, let's discover them.
A "dust" bath is an unusual type of "bath".
The very sound of it is a paradoxical statement as dust is not a term we normally associate with cleansing.
"Dusting" is a very necessary practice for wild birds though.
Unlike bird baths that hold water, they are not well known to bird watchers.
It is believed that wild birds participate in dust baths to help them get rid of parasites.
A wild bird dust baths are really dry soil that we term "dust".
They perform this bathing ritual by "flinging" dry loosely packed dirt over themselves.
When you observe wild birds "dusting" themselves in this fashion, their actions are not unlike watching them in a bird bath.
Testing the "dust" (as if it were water), a little "splashing", and then full fluttering and carrying on!

Hummingbirds "The Jewelled Warriors"
You can provide a dust bath, if the birds have not chosen their own location.
Simply choose a bare patch of ground, preferably an area that drains well after a rain.
Rake the area slightly to loosen the top layer of soil, doing this regularly will keep the area fresh and prevent disease.
The dusting area should be close enough to cover like a bush, so the birds will have a safe place to flee in case a predator arrives on the scene.
It may not be possible though to attract them to a specific location for dust bathing.
But if you keep a vigilant watch and notice this practice somewhere in your yard, then providing a little help with raking and cover, may encourage "dusters" (the term used for birds that engage in a dust bath) to partake in this entertaining activity.
It may help us to understand this seemingly peculiar wild bird habit by comparing it to a human practice.
All we have to do to increase our understanding is to add water to the "dust" and talk about a "mud" bath.
Then some light is shed on the matter. There is no way to discover the real benefits of dust baths to birds.
But perhaps, like people who mud bathe to derive a relaxation and cosmetic benefit, our feathered friends too may experience similar gain.
Most wild birds perform dust baths.
Watch a California Condor Mom giving her chick a dust bath. It's fascinating to watch this beautifully feathered animal be so tender and loving.
Now lets have a look at 2 other interesting ways birds cleanse themselves other than water bathing and dust baths.
Yes, really! Not for tanning, but for other reasons.
Wild birds can be observed sun bathing at any time of the year. They will find a protected spot, out of the wind and safe from predators.
It is often observed that wild birds while sun bathing, appear to be oblivious to what is going on around them.
It could be conjectured that they are so enjoying this practice that they lose awareness of their surroundings.
Wild birds will bask in the sun on cool mornings to warm themselves up.
Hummingbirds can be observed early in the morning perched on a feeder that is located in the morning sun warming themselves.
Birds will also sit exposed to the sun after a bath to dry off and preen their feathers.
But there are other times when they will perch and spread their wings and tail feathers for what appears to be for the sole purpose of "sun" bathing.
They sometimes position themselves in awkward positions to expose different parts of their body to the rays of the sun.
They simply just appear to be enjoying the warmth, healing and rejuvenating effects of the suns beams.
It is not hard to understand how good that feels!
It is believed wild birds practice anting for a number of reasons, such as another method to help them get rid of parasites.
Ants, as well as other insects secrete a liquid which contains chemicals. One of the chemicals that ants secrete is formic acid and may be of benefit to the birds.
Let me explain.
When a feathered friend feels the need to rid themselves of some pests they will find a dry, safe spot where there are many ants in the area and stand in the midst of the insects and allow them to crawl on their body.
Wild birds have also been observed rolling on top of an ant hill to crush them or picking them up in their bill and then rubbing the insect on their feathers.
It is unclear whether the birds are simply getting rid of the sac that holds the formic acid before eating the insect as the chemical is quite bitter or whether they are purposely applying the chemical on their feathers.
Nevertheless formic acid has properties as a pesticide, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial. These are all medicinal resources that birds could benefit from.
To us this may seem not only an unusual activity but a little on the repulsive side as well.
But there are many symbiotic relationships in nature that seem odd but work to the benefit of both participating members. ;)

Washington is still irrelevant, but … (January 9)
Paul Krake
Washington is still irrelevant, but …
I survived the bomb cyclone but having left New York on Sunday morning I concluded two things. Firstly, that New York has the infrastructure of a third world country and that is probably an insult to many developing economies. Secondly, after binge reading Fire and Fury, Michael Wolfe's brutal book about the inner workings of the Trump administration, the chance of a significant infrastructure spending program looks very remote indeed. The circus that is the presidency of Donald Trump is poised to dominate the global narrative again in 2018 and not in a positive way.
While the return of inflationary pressures is the ultimate threat to this euphoric environment for risky assets, Washington dysfunction remains on the list of potential headwinds for asset markets in 2018. North Korea, US / China trade relations, the Russia inquiry, and NAFTA are concerns we should have, but will continue to be ignored until they materialize into circumstances that truly hurt sentiment and begin to affect corporate profitability. Currently, there is nothing on the horizon that should prompt investors to take down risk. If we learnt anything in 2017, it was that just because we have mayhem in the White House, doesn't mean that markets care. The global economy is on fire and I see no signs of it slowing. Negative political sentiment is not going to change this.
Data matters, especially on prices and nothing is more important than the inflation data in the US and China that are both released this week. A benign outcome that keeps US 10-year yields sub 2.50% and it is hard not to see equities galloping higher during the second week of the year. Longer term, I am convinced we will see quality equities trade more like bonds. The current economic environment, the robustness of profits and record low default rates means that corporate cash flows are probably as reliable as they have been in years. Stable cash flows and a global shortage of quality yield will see equities continue to re-rate higher. Purists won't want to hear this, but as quality equities look like bonds and act like bonds then equity valuations should resemble fixed income. I am a huge believer in this bond proxy equity argument.
Malaise in Washington will not change this, but the threats cannot be ignored. A desperate President Trump could well use anti-trade, anti-China rhetoric to inspire his base. That said, the political annihilation of the protectionist Steve Bannon implies that the globalist agenda may prevail. This is one true positive in all this.
There will be a lot of negative political news this week and none of this will matter. USD weakness should continue as high yielding EM currencies continue to benefit. Further Euro strength may prompt dovish commentary from the ECB. I just cannot get excited about selling the dollar against the Euro, or other G10 currencies for that matter. While commodity strength could see the AUD grind towards 0.8000 over the next couple of weeks, there are just too many cross currents to sell the USD against the developed world.

For financial planners, like most service professionals, our existing clients are often one of the top sources for new business. Our clients help us grow our business by making direct referrals, chatting about their experiences with friends and family, and providing references to help us convert prospects to new clients. We ask current and former clients to do much to help us grow our practices, so it is important that we also devote ample energy to thank them for their business and their support.
"Thank you" can certainly start with a quick email offering appreciation for a referral or an embossed greeting card at the holidays. However, I like to think about the phrase popularized by Howard Schultz of Starbucks who urged his managers to "look for innovative ways to surprise and delight our customer." If you hope to rely upon the help and goodwill of your clients to further grow your practice, it is crucial that you exceed their expectations and do much more for them than you hope that they will do for you.
Surprise and Delight
Instead of viewing client appreciation as a chore to check off of the list, spend time thinking about how you can surprise and delight your own clients. Perhaps you work with a service provider—anyone from your dry cleaner to your insurance broker—who exceeds your expectations so much that you are always delighted to interact and eager to send more business their way. What would it take to make many of your clients feel the same way about you? How can you go the extra mile, not only in the services that you provide, but in the way you show your clients how much you value your relationships?
In my practice, I start with the lost art of the handwritten card, which stands out more than ever now that we spend all day communicating in short bursts on a smartphone. I send personalized, handwritten thank-you notes to every prospect I meet as well as to every client on his or her birthday. Births, weddings and other milestones warrant a small gift as well.
Client Appreciation Events
At least once per year I host client appreciation events structured as fun and engaging outings. Because my practice is focused on parents of young children, my recent events have featured a top family photographer in a lovely outdoor setting. Many parents often lament that they haven't taken formal photos of their children or family often enough, so I garner high participation (and gratitude) for the opportunity to easily have free, high-quality photos taken. Plus, the format of this event gives me the opportunity to meet my clients' families and enjoy a few minutes of conversation with each of them. These events cost me less than $1,000 and provide a tremendous boost in the goodwill I experience not only from the clients who attend, but from those who were unable to make it as well.
Developing additional ways to thank your client can at first feel like another high-effort item to add to your to-do list, but you'll quickly find that investing in appreciation can not only help you build a better practice, but increase your own satisfaction in the work you do. What innovative ideas have you used to surprise and thank your clients?

Maybe it's just because of the SG-1000 s color pattele, but the hills in the background and the house in the pictured game (Girls Garden?) look pretty nice in spite of the more Game & Watch looking visual assets in the playfield. But if there's a SEGA console even more obscure than the Master System, it's this one.

Symptoms,diagnostic tests, treatment and resources for Huntington's Disease.
In 1872 an American doctor, George Huntington, wrote about his observations concerning a strange, hereditary illness that made its victims squirm, twist and writhe uncontrollably. Although he was not the first to describe this nervous disorder, he is the one whose name was attached. Before Dr. Huntington the disease was known as "Chorea."
As stated, Huntington's Disease (HD) is a hereditary problem that seems to run in successive generations of a family. It destroys the ability to feel, think or move. It wasn't until 1993, when the gene (located on chromosome 4) that causes Huntington's Disease was found in a laboratory headed by molecular geneticist James Gusella at Massachusetts General Hospital, that researchers began to have a better understanding of the disorder. Because of this discovery a test has now been developed to allow family members of patients with Huntington's Disease to find out if they too carry the disease. Knowing the results either way can cause severe emotional stress and testing is only done after the person has undergone psychological counseling. Regardless of the results, it is recommended these people come in for follow-up counseling as well.
There is an estimated one person in every ten thousand that has Huntington's Disease. At that ratio there are approximately thirty thousand with the disease in the United States alone. Each child of a Huntington's Disease patient has a fifty percent chance of inheriting the disease, which means approximately 150,000 people are said to be at risk.
Huntington Disease affects both the mind and the body. Although it normally presents symptoms in patients between thirty and fifty years of age, it has been seen as young as two and as old as seventy. In many cases, the earlier the onset the faster it progresses in the patient. The younger patient's first symptom may be seizures or even a decline in school or work performance. The typical progression of Huntington's Disease takes between ten and thirty years while the most common cause of death is pneumonia during the end stage, when the patient has become bedridden.
The disease can affect males and females as well as all races and ethnic groups. Unlike many inherited problems, Huntington's Disease does not skip a generation. If your parent has the disease and you don't, your children will not develop Huntington's Disease.
Early symptoms of Huntington's Disease can be subtle, while varying from person to person. Many times these symptoms are overlooked or misdiagnosed. The patient may show signs of mood swings, irritability or depression. They may also become apathetic, lethargic or angry. In some cases these symptoms will disappear as the disease progresses.
Early symptoms of HD are subtle, can vary from person to person, and are easily overlooked or misinterpreted. The afflicted person may experience mood swings, become irritable, apathetic, lethargic, depressed or angry. Sometimes these symptoms will actually disappear as the disease progresses.
Motor Functions:
Huntington's Disease can cause the patient to lose certain motor functions. Their speech may become slurred, they may show signs of mild clumsiness, their hand writing may deteriorate and they will often have problems with coordination and balance. Many times the patient will appear intoxicated to an observer.
Cognitive Functioning:
As the disease progresses, the patient will have difficulty concentrating or remembering things. Their personal judgment is often affected and may have difficulty driving, making decisions or being able to answer simple questions. It isn't uncommon for a patient of Huntington's disease to be unable to remember who relatives or friends are.
Patients with Huntington's Disease will often have uncontrollable movements in the fingers, hands, feet, face or torso. These movements or "tics" are the beginnings of 'chorea' or writhing movements. These symptoms can often become worse the more upset or stressed the patient becomes. Other patients may not show signs of chorea but instead become rigid and unable to move much if at all. This condition is called "akinesia."
DNA testing is one of the tools doctors have for diagnosing Huntington's Disease. The test requires a blood sample from the patient, which is then analyzed. The test checks for the number of times the genetic code for the Huntington's Disease gene is repeated. Patients that are diagnosed with the disease will usually have forty or more of these repeats. For those that don't have the disease, they will have twenty eight or less. For those patients whose results fall between twenty-eight and forty repeats, their doctor will order extensive neurological examinations. These will include tests of the patient's hearing, eye movements and control, strength and reflexes. Additional tests will check balance, mental or emotional problems and a large number of laboratory tests.
In addition to the above tests, the neurologist may order a computed tomography (CT) scan. This particular test is painless and produces a computer-generated picture of the interior of the brain. A doctor who orders a CT scan will be looking for shrinking in the caudate nuclei and putamen areas of the brain. It will also often show enlargements of the brain's ventricles.
There is no cure for Huntington's Disease and, once diagnosed, the patient is treated symptomatically. In other words, any medications prescribed will only help to control specific symptoms. Once a patient is diagnosed with Huntington's Disease, their doctor will may prescribe the following:
Clonazepam - This drug may help to lessen the tics and uncontrollable movements.
Haloperidol - This drug is used to attempt the control of hallucinations, delusions and angry or violent outbursts. This drug will not be used if the patient has muscular contractions that cause him or her to become stiff or rigid.
Pamelor/nortiptyline, Fluoxetine - These drugs will often help with the patient's depression.
Tranquilizers - Patients of Huntington's Disease will often show high levels of anxiety and tranquilizers may help in its control.
Lithium - This may be prescribed if the patients show signs of manic behavior or severe mood swings.
Patients and their families are urged to seek help and support for dealing with the long-term effects of Huntington Disease in advance of the onset of the more severe symptoms. They will want to, if possible, draw up wills and all important documents early so legal problems are less likely to occur later.
The families are also urged to check out the Federal, state and local programs that will aid in the domestic, nutritional and nursing needs of the patient. If the patient has no family, some cities have group housing facilities.
While most families will want to keep the loved one at home, very often the nursing needs of the patient overwhelm the loved ones and institutional care (nursing home) may be needed. There are certain facilities that specialize in specific conditions and the family may want to check these out well in advance of the actual need.
To find help or more information about Huntington's Disease, there is a non-profit national voluntary heath organization dedicated to the disorder:
