How wonderful to visit a site so personal to Nadur. After recently returning from Gozo to Melbourne Australia following a hasty visit to see my aunts, I only wish I was back in Nadur. I will continue to enjoy (as will my family) the updates. Click here Guest Book to read more.

IX-XALATA TAL-FESTA

Organizzata mill-kummissjoni zghazagh tal-Banda Mnarja

	Minn Frankie Galea Korrispondent taghna fin-Nadur, Ghawdex. L'ghada tal festa, guvintur u xebbiet jorgonizzaw xi divertiment sabiex jghalqu l granet tal festa, din id darba kienet, billi organizzaw gita fuq lanca kbira. Din haditna fi tlett postijiet sbieh, u bejn kull post kullhadd jisfen ma daqq li jtarrax il widnejn dak li jhobbu il youngsters tal-lum. Il qwantita ta xorb li inxtorob fuq dan it trip, kieku konna gewwa l'Awstralja, niggarantilek li kolla kemm ahna gejna arestati. Biss jafu jgibu rwiehom sew ghax veru wara daqshekk xorb qawwi li nxtorob ma kienx hemm incident wiehed jew xi dizunur fl'imgieba. Veru prosit lill ghaqda tal banda Mnarja, tal pjacir li tajtu lil kull wiehed prezenti.

Alcohol causes 10% of all deaths in Europe
By our correspondent in Gozo, Carmel Saliba

26 June, 2009
The consumption of alcohol is responsible for one in 10 deaths in Europe, a report has said.
A study from the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto, Canada, found that one in 25 deaths worldwide was attributed to drink, while it accounted for 5% of years lived with disability around the world.
The average global alcohol consumption is around 12 units per person per week, according to research published in the Lancet medical journal.
Two units of alcohol is equivalent to a pint of mild beer or a large glass of wine.
Europeans drink almost twice the world average, at 21.5 units a week, while the average US citizen consumes 18 units.
The study said that in 2004 - the latest year for which global figures were available - 3.8% of all deaths around the world were attributable to drinking alcohol, or one in 25.
The proportion of men suffering alcohol-related deaths stood at 6.3% - much higher than the figure for women at 1.8%.
Most deaths involving alcohol were the result of injuries, cancer, heart disease and liver cirrhosis.
Lead author Dr Jurgen Rehm wrote: ‘We face a large and increasing alcohol-attributable burden at a time when we know more than ever about which strategies can effectively and cost-effectively control alcohol related harms.’

FRATERNAL ORDER OF.....

Yesterday I received an email from JM of Gozo. On his email he made references about the Order that it has been demoted. The name of the Order was changed for the reason that, there is an objective to reach in the coming months and to publish our first book.

He added that an Order is a religious thing like the Dominican Order, the Franciscan Order, the Carmelite Order, A Monk Order or a Nuns Order totally dedicated to God through obedience, poverty and Chastity. Obedience is when a priest doesn't obey his parish priest, bishop or the archbishop. It happened in Gozo.

There are many references to Orders: Apart from the religious Orders, there is the Order of St. John, The Order of the Bath, The Order of Australia, the Order of St. Columba, the Knights of Columbus is a Catholic fraternal, Order of Masons etc. etc.

JM also made references to the Confraternity: Now you have a Confraternity, in Maltese it is A Fratellenza, we have 4 in Nadur so the change of the name from an Order to a Confraternity - (Fratellanza) means you were relegated to a second division status.

Fraternity is another word related to Order. There are Professional Fraternities such as education, medicine, law and science fraternities. In the USA a fraternity is a society of a college or university. Many fraternities admit both men and women, but most general fraternities are for men.

The are others which are called Fraternity Order, such as the Fraternal Order of Eagles established February 6, 1898, in Seattle, Washington and the Fraternal Order of Police in the USA.

The Confraternity of St. Peter and St. Paul is not in the category of a fratellanza that takes part in a parish procession as so thought by JM. Our Confraternity is a society of Christian leaders, such as Presidents, Knights, Dames, and Community leaders. The aims of our Confraternity is to bring Christian people of all nations together and to provide charity to people in need.
