We can only be successful in our support by working alongside people we support, their families, carers bn and local communities.
Caboolture Family Network commenced in June 2003. The vision for Caboolture Family Network has always remained the same. To provide a strengths-based person-centred support for families who have a family member with a disability living within the family home. They believed in offering a service that:
partnership with a person with a disability, their family and/or carer and the wider community;
choices in their own lives;
dignity, respect, privacy, confidentiality and accountability ;
without discrimination;
raise concerns without recriminations;
social and physical inclusion into the local community.
Always front of mind was that the service would be a holistic model that was extremely flexible in its approach. It was also to be family-centred in its approach as opposed to a service-centred approach.
The biggest challenge Caboolture Family Network's steering committee in the early stages was the procurement of the respite house. Every single person associated with Caboolture Family Network; co-ordinators, auspicing bodies, steering committee members, staff were adamant that they didn't want to purchase or build a respite facility. They wanted to create a retreat.
Their vision was to create a welcoming and homey 3-bedroom, wheelchair accessible retreat, built along environmentally sensitive and sustainable principles. Their mental picture saw the retreat nestled into a small farmlet with interest spots around the property – chickens, small farmyard animals, floral and organic vegetable gardens and orchards. So they set about searching for exactly the right place, either land they could build on or an already established home they could modify.
In April 2004, a suitable house which ticked all the boxes was found. It was a three-bedroom home on 2½ acres of land bordering Elimbah. It was reasonably priced and close to Caboolture CBD. Plans for the retreat went to the architect then to the Caboolture Shire Council for approval and the builder collected the approved plans and commenced modifications on July 7, 2004.
The official opening of the short-term centre-based respite house "Retreat" took place at the Retreat, 17 D. Newman Court, Caboolture, on Saturday, February 18, 2006 by the Honourable Warren Pitt MP, Minister for Communities and Disability.
CFN has grown in leaps and bounds since its inception in 2003. From its humble beginnings in the garage of the offices of its auspice body, it has spread its wings and moved in 2015, to Number 10 Grant Road, Morayfield. During this time Caboolture Family Network has also changed its name, to simply, CFN. The name change reflects the ever-growing demand for CFN's services beyond the Caboolture area and because we have always been referred to as CFN in that typical Australian tradition of abbreviating all our words!
The CFN office, wherever it's locale, has often been described as a place of warmth and acceptance and the Retreat has reached and surpassed everybody's expectations and is looked upon as a place of fun, love and laughter.
Since opening our doors in 2003 we have supported hundreds of individuals with disabilities and their families or carers. Some of whom were seeking one off respite; some seeking regular respite and some who, for whatever reason, find themselves unable to have their family member live in the family home.
We have supported siblings in group activities to share their stories with their peers and to learn some coping skills, as well as just to have the opportunity for some time out with the focus being on them and on having fun.
CFN's Enthuse program has been going from strength to strength with young people learning a range of new skills. Skills they will use to pursue their goals of living independently, finding paid employment and getting out and about in their local community.
Many families have participated in PATH planning and in the process been able to set with important others in their lives, clear goals and direction for a good life for their family member now and the future.
We have our annual traditions such as Melbourne Cup functions and Christmas Parties and we also host various information sessions to ensure the families we serve are kept abreast of important sector issues.
While every family's journey is different, one thing they all have in common is the need for a service that does not judge them, that does not discriminate; that offers support and encouragement to achieve the very best outcome for their family; a service willing to share not just the successes, but to be there through the struggles, the despair, the frustration, the disappointments; a service that gives of itself with kindness, dedication and understanding. A service with vision, purpose, dreams and principles.
CFN is a place where people and ideas come together. We work toward a common goal and that is to create a better world for people with disabilities and those who provide love and support to them. Our aim continues to be to ensure that everything we do, both at a service and a community level, is geared towards creating this world .

Alexandre Marius Jacob (September 29, 1879 – August 28, 1954), also known by the names Georges, Escande, Férau, Jean Concorde, Attila, and Barrabas, was a French anarchist illegalist.

Biography
Jacob was born in 1879 in Marseille to a working-class family; his father, Joseph, was a baker. At the age of eleven, he signed up as a sailor's apprentice; he would later say, "I have seen the world; it is not beautiful".

Back in Marseilles, on March 31, 1899, he stole from a pawn shop, his first action as an illegalist. He was later arrested in Toulon and faked insanity to avoid five years of prison. On April 19, 1900, he escaped from the Montperrin asylum in Aix-en-Provence with the assistance of a male nurse, Royère, and took refuge in Sète. There he organized a band of men, calling them "the workers of the night." The principles were simple: one does not kill, except to protect his life and his freedom from the police. A percentage of the stolen money was to be invested into the anarchist cause.

Roughly 150 burglaries have been attributed to him. He made headlines not just for the clever burglaries themselves, but for the mocking notes the gang would leave behind. One such note, left at the church of Saint Sever in Rouen on February 14, 1901, read "" ("God of thieves, look for the thieves of those who have stolen from others").

The gang had several clashes with police. In Orléans, on February 27, 1901, Jacob shot a police officer in order to escape. His friend and accomplice Royère was arrested. Various gang members were arrested in the period 1901-1903. Finally, on April 21, 1903, an operation carried out in Abbeville turned sour. Having killed a police officer in order to escape, Jacob and his two accomplices were captured. Two years later in Amiens Jacob appeared in court, with 23 co-accused. He turned out to be a fierce rhetorician, and the trial gave him a platform for his ideas, among them, "." ("The right to life cannot be begged for, it must be taken.") He spoke of robbing priests and finding that each one had a safe, sometimes several, containing money that had been given by parishioners to the church but kept by the priests themselves.

The court sentenced him to forced labour for life on March 22, 1905. He was sent to the Salvation Islands. He was frequently brought before the prison courts for escape attempts, and also in 1908 for murder (of a fellow convict, Capelletti), and spent three years in prison on Île Saint-Joseph. Throughout his imprisonment, he maintained correspondence with his mother Marie, who campaigned for her son's release. On July 14, 1925, his sentence was commuted to five years' imprisonment, to be served in France. He was released on December 31, 1927.

At first, he worked in Paris, but in 1931, he became am itinerant pedlar. In 1936, he went to Barcelona in the hopes of aiding the syndicalist CNT, but soon returned to France. His mother died in 1941. He desired "to die in good health" rather than of old age. "" ("I have lived, I can die"), he wrote in a letter of August 17, 1954; he died on August 28.

While he never renounced his anarchist and anti-fascist convictions, he did express doubt regarding the merits of illegalism at the end of his life.

Dick Willette, director of soup kitchen downtown, dies at 83
November 10, 2016 9:55 am	 · 0 commentsViews: 59
By: Will Walkey on November 10, 2016.
Dick Willette Sr., a man who spent decades of his life in service of others, died suddenly and unexpectedly on Sunday, October 30 at the age of 83 of an apparent heart attack. The Morning Sentinel reported that, according to his wife, Gloria Beaulieu-Willette, he had talked a lot about dying during the days leading up to his death.
Willette was the director of the Sacred Heart Soup Kitchen in Waterville for 20 years, and was a 36 year volunteer there, according to the Sentinel. The soup kitchen, which opened in 1980 ensures that people in need have hot meals five days a week.
Born in Shawmut, Maine on June 11, 1933, Willette was the former owner of Chase Fuel Company in Winslow for over 52 years. He cooked the meals for those in need on Tuesdays and Thursdays until his death.
Willette's death came just two days before he hoped to announce his retirement from Sacred Heart and find a replacement. In an interview with The Portland Press Herald, Willette said, "I've worked all my life and I just feel it's time," in regards to his retirement. He was planning on travelling with his wife following his transition out of work.
Paul McDonald, a 22-year volunteer, called Willette "highly respected" among the volunteers, but insisted that "somebody's going to step up" and keep the kitchen running.
Nick Isgro, Mayor of Waterville, commented on Willette's spirit of community to the Sentinel: "He lived each day in the service of his fellow man, and I think every one of us can stop and take a moment to reflect on his life and how we can honor Dick and his life and do the same."
Just four years ago, Willette's prized soup kitchen nearly went under because it was in poor financial shape, but a donation campaign following a story in the Sentinel kept the business alive. Now, the soup kitchen, located on 72 Pleasant Street, operates out of the basement of The Sacred Heart Church five days a week.
Willette's charitable ways were not limited to the soup kitchen, however, as Beaulieu-Willette explained, "He donated to every charity." Through the years, he also served as President of the Waterville Humane Society, and was a member of the Elks Lodge, Lions Club, and Rome Grange. Because of this generous spirit, Beaulieu-Willette claimed, "Everywhere we went, there were people who knew him."
His funeral was last Thursday, November 3 at the Sacred Heart Church. He had visiting hours in the Gallant's Funeral Home on Elm Street the Tuesday and Wednesday leading up to the service.
Willette is survived by his wife, his two sons, his sister, several grandchildren and great grandchildren, and numerous friends and admirers.

What award wins for 1917 and Parasite mean for their Oscar chances
TIFF Review: Black Mass
Posted by Sarah at September 15, 2015 12:55:53 September 15, 2015 12:55:53
It's not that Black Mass is bad—it's too technically proficient to be called "bad"—it's that it's…cold. It is unengaging. Yes, Johnny Depp is very good as Boston gangster James "Whitey" Bulger, but we've seen him do so many transformations at this point that there's nothing special about this one. It's an above-average performance—that very much feels like A Performance—but it's in service of a rote crime procedural that checks all the right boxes without ever really drawing you into the story. It suffers for comparisons to The Departed, and has none of that movie's tension or nervous energy. Black Mass is a Movie!, it never stops being a Movie!, Johnny Depp is always Acting!, and if you do experience an emotion while watching it, it's probably because you sneezed and farted at the same time and are torn between shame and pride.
Sienna Miller's role was cut from this movie, and after seeing it, yes, I believe it really was just due to director Scott Cooper's "narrative choices". I wish he had also made the narrative choice to cut Dakota Johnson's role, because the entire first act of the movie is useless. She plays Bulger's girlfriend, Lindsey Cyr, with whom he had a son who died. It sounds callous but—who gives a sh*t? Black Mass becomes slightly more entertaining when Bulger's mother is also dead and a character states that at that point he became even more ruthless, and that's when sh*t started getting real. Well great! Start the movie there! Bulger's son in the movie is just a dumb weiner kid and Johnson's role is only there so there would be one female character Bulger doesn't murder. These are not compelling reasons to keep them in the film.
An inherent problem for Black Mass is that no movie will ever do a gangster's rise to power better than The Godfather, so it would have been better served focusing more on Bulger's downfall and less on his ascent. The movie is split between Bulger's rise and that of corrupt FBI agent John Connelly (Joel Edgerton), a childhood friend of Bulger and his brother, Billy (Benedict Cumberbatch, doing a not-awful Boston accent), who profited from Bulger informing on the Italian mob for him. Edgerton is really good as Connelly, but he's at his best toward the end when Connelly is scrapping, trying to save his job as Bulger goes down. And Black Mass criminally wastes Corey Stoll as the US Attorney who went after Bulger, so I don't understand why the entire movie isn't just about that three-way conflict between those men, forget the rest—except that it's a box-checking standard procedural and so it must present every facet of the case, not just the most interesting part.
Cooper knows how to put together a movie, so there are no complaints on the mechanics of the film. But like his previous movie, Out of the Furnace, Black Mass is so locked into a formula that it feels more like a math equation than a story. At least Furnace has a great performance from Christian Bale fueling it, but what makes his work in that movie notable was how lo-fi it is compared to his usual Method transformation bullsh*t. Depp's performance in Black Mass is fine, but it's still just fine on the Johnny Depp Scale Of Transformative Bullsh*t Performances. There's nothing surprising or fresh about it. And what Black Mass really needs is something surprising to differentiate it from other Boston gangster films. It's not bad, but it's not especially good, either.

US urges Pfizer to apply for under-5 Covid shots
By Press Trust of India on 12:14 am February 2, 2022 No Comment
US regulators are urging drugmaker Pfizer to apply for emergency authorization for a two-dose regimen of its Covid-19 vaccine for children 6 months to 5 years old while awaiting data on a three-dose course, aiming to clear the way for the shots as soon as late February, a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press Monday.
The company's application was expected to be submitted as soon as Tuesday.
Early Pfizer data has shown the vaccine—which is administered to younger kids at one-tenth the strength of the adult shot—is safe and produces an immune response. But last year Pfizer announced the two-dose shot proved to be less effective at preventing Covid-19 in kids ages 2-5, and regulators encouraged the company to add a third dose to the study on the belief that another dose would boost the vaccine's effectiveness much like booster doses do in adults.
Now, the Food and Drug Administration is pushing the company to submit its application based on the two-dose data for potential approval in February, and then to return for additional authorization once it has the data from the third dose study, which is expected in March, the person familiar with the matter said. The two-step authorization process could mean that young children could be vaccinated more than a month earlier than previous estimates, assuming the FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention greenlight the shots.
The person spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive regulatory issues. The person said the decreased effectiveness of the two-dose vaccine was not unexpected given the emergence of the highly transmissible omicron variant of Covid-19. Allowing young kids to be vaccinated with a two-dose shot earlier would ultimately accelerate when they could get the expected stronger protection from a third dose.
That would be welcome news for parents of young children, the last remaining age group without approval of Covid-19 shots.
Young children are far less likely than adults to develop serious complications or to die from Covid-19, but incidences of illness among the age group have risen amid the nationwide spike in cases from the omicron variant. Most cases and deaths occur among older people, especially those who are unvaccinated.
Speeding the authorization of pediatric vaccines against Covid-19 has been a priority for more than a year of the Biden administration, which believes them critical to reopening and keeping open schools and day care centers—and for freeing up parents occupied by childcare responsibilities to return to the workforce.
Vaccines for kids ages 5-12 were approved by US regulators in November, though uptake of shots has been slower than US officials hoped. Pfizer's primary series is administered three weeks apart. The third dose for young kids is being studied for administration at least two months after the second dose.
News of the earlier regulatory review was first reported by The Washington Post.

Our client was conducting a major review of their internal communications with volunteers, staff and stakeholders and required insight to inform their future strategy. In particular, whether key messages were getting across, views of the organisation's overall strategy, and whether the right information was being communicated at the right time.
First phase – Face-to-face depth interviews with senior stakeholders to identify the areas that need most focus.
Second phase – Quantitative online survey amongst both employees and volunteers to address issues identified in stakeholder interviews.
Phase three – Focus groups amongst a selection of employees and volunteers, to drill down into the detail behind the issues identified by the survey and test new communication ideas.
Recommendations were made that fed directly into planning of the clients new internal communications strategy.
