She took it as a challenge -- and an indication that there was no consciousness of contemporary Filipino art -- and stuck with the idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles is a case in point. The city is home to more than 600,000 Filipino-Americans, but this show is the first time some of them have seen art from the Philippines. Ivan Blanco, a fine arts student at USC, wandered into the museum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Well, I'm Filipino, so I figured I'd check out some art made by Filipino artists,\" Blanco remarked. \"I don't really know that much about my culture as I thought I did, but seeing art made by other Filipinos is cool and it's making me more interested in uncovering my culture.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10141507\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/02/philart2.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-10141507\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/02/philart2-400x299.jpg\" alt=\"Art from the opening night at "The Triumph of Philippine Art," a traveling exhibit currently on view at USC's Fisher Art Museum in Los Angeles.

(Courtesy of Pilar Brooks)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>A divide with the home country is common in the Filipino-American community. Geography is one barrier. But according to Evelyn Rodriguez, a professor of sociology at the University of San Francisco, there’s also the issue of fading into the woodwork as a distinct ethnic group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Filipinos are part of this brown population in the States that a lot of people sort of homogenize,\" Rodriguez said. \"So people classify a lot of us with other Asian-American groups or even Latinos. So, it's a community that has been invisible for a long time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in L.A., that community has been creating distinct cultural capital for about two decades. There’s Filipino-American painting, performance art, animation, a yearly cultural festival and a thriving music video scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a recent festival devoted exclusively to Filipino and Filipino-American music videos, viewers laughed at inside jokes as they watched Filipino-Americans rap as they drove around the streets of Los Angeles. In other videos, campy game-show hosts introduced singers in Tagalog. The festival was co-sponsored by the organization FilAm ARTS, which connects artists and stages shows and festivals around California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Having more of these shows is really important because it solidifies our identity,\" said artist Tala Mateo, who works with FilAm ARTS. Mateo thinks an artistic identity can help the sizable Filipino-American population in Los Angeles be heard. And developing ties with the home country would also give U.S.-based Filipino-American artists an important historical reference point upon which to draw.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Who we're a part of, who we're attached to, who we're related to. If we get lost in any way, shape or form, at least we can hold onto that and know we come from somewhere,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mateo believes that developing ties and understanding between the U.S. and the Philippines is a matter of survival, on both sides of the ocean. Art can be one way to foster that.\u003c/p>\n\n",

She took it as a challenge -- and an indication that there was no consciousness of contemporary Filipino art -- and stuck with the idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles is a case in point. The city is home to more than 600,000 Filipino-Americans, but this show is the first time some of them have seen art from the Philippines. Ivan Blanco, a fine arts student at USC, wandered into the museum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Well, I'm Filipino, so I figured I'd check out some art made by Filipino artists,\" Blanco remarked. \"I don't really know that much about my culture as I thought I did, but seeing art made by other Filipinos is cool and it's making me more interested in uncovering my culture.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10141507\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/02/philart2.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-10141507\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/02/philart2-400x299.jpg\" alt=\"Art from the opening night at "The Triumph of Philippine Art," a traveling exhibit currently on view at USC's Fisher Art Museum in Los Angeles.

(Courtesy of Pilar Brooks)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>A divide with the home country is common in the Filipino-American community. Geography is one barrier. But according to Evelyn Rodriguez, a professor of sociology at the University of San Francisco, there’s also the issue of fading into the woodwork as a distinct ethnic group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Filipinos are part of this brown population in the States that a lot of people sort of homogenize,\" Rodriguez said. \"So people classify a lot of us with other Asian-American groups or even Latinos. So, it's a community that has been invisible for a long time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in L.A., that community has been creating distinct cultural capital for about two decades. There’s Filipino-American painting, performance art, animation, a yearly cultural festival and a thriving music video scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a recent festival devoted exclusively to Filipino and Filipino-American music videos, viewers laughed at inside jokes as they watched Filipino-Americans rap as they drove around the streets of Los Angeles. In other videos, campy game-show hosts introduced singers in Tagalog. The festival was co-sponsored by the organization FilAm ARTS, which connects artists and stages shows and festivals around California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Having more of these shows is really important because it solidifies our identity,\" said artist Tala Mateo, who works with FilAm ARTS. Mateo thinks an artistic identity can help the sizable Filipino-American population in Los Angeles be heard. And developing ties with the home country would also give U.S.-based Filipino-American artists an important historical reference point upon which to draw.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Who we're a part of, who we're attached to, who we're related to. If we get lost in any way, shape or form, at least we can hold onto that and know we come from somewhere,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mateo believes that developing ties and understanding between the U.S. and the Philippines is a matter of survival, on both sides of the ocean. Art can be one way to foster that.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

So it’s a neat story of how Yosemite inspires people, but also that human and natural relationship and sort of the conflicts that result.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And for the hikers, rock climbers and thrill-seekers who flock to Yosemite, there’s “\u003ca href=\"http://www.rolff.org/honnold-3-0/\" target=\"_blank\">Honnold 3.0\u003c/a>,” a documentary about \u003ca href=\"http://www.alexhonnold.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Alex Honnold\u003c/a>, a free climber known for his ascents of El Capitan and Half Dome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know, the vast majority of those climbers, they’re securely anchored with ropes. There are still some hazards associated with that,” Bumgardner said. “But the idea of climbing that without a rope, the idea that ... one slip and you’re dead. There’s only a handful -- literally -- a few people in the world that can do what Alex Honnold does. And this film’s a great portrait of him. And I think people who might think he might be crazy. ... When you watch it, you realize that he’s just really good.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Range of Light Film Festival runs through Sunday at the park's Yosemite Valley Visitor Center.

A few months ago, my boyfriend and I split up. I’m a mess. Some days the tiniest reference to love and romance will make me start sobbing, and then every other part of my life feels like it’s falling apart, too. I know I’m not alone here -- breakups are something almost everyone goes through at some point -- but that doesn’t make it any easier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had one client who was so heartbroken she said she felt like she had a bruise on her heart,” Swiecicki tells me when I show up at her office near Lake Merritt. “She’d wake up and look in the mirror, and be like, ‘Do I have a bruise there?’ It just felt sore.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10342108\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/10/Curandera1.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/10/Curandera1-400x430.jpg\" alt=\"Atava Garcia Swiecicki is a curandera, or Mexican folk healer, based in Oakland.

I have to try it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To begin the ceremony, Swiecicki sets up a small altar in the center of the room, carefully arranging the necessary objects -- a raw egg, feathers, a special resin called copal, a drum, a rattle, fresh rosemary and red hummingbird sage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She holds the rosemary and sage to my nose. I take a deep breath. “I’m not going to burn these plants; I make a little broom, and -- with your permission -- hit you with the herbs,” she says with a laugh. “Gently, with love. It’s kind of like if the body was a house and we’re sweeping, we’re cleaning it off.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The egg, Swiecicki says, is an especially important part of the limpia. “It’s used as a psychic vacuum cleaner. It’s rubbed all over the body, to pull off negative energy, cords, to move stuck emotions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And I do feel stuck. There’s just so much that’s tangled up in losing a romantic partner. There’s the sense of yourself that changes and, really, the whole direction of your life. I hope that, somehow, participating in a ceremony like this can help me transition into the next chapter. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10342110\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/10/Herbs.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/10/Herbs-400x376.jpg\" alt=\"An herbalist as well as curandera, Swiecicki makes tinctures and distillations using plants she's gathered from around the Bay Area.

I sit in a chair in front of the altar and glance around the room. It’s crammed with images of healers and deities from all sorts of traditions, glass bottles of herbal tinctures, crystals, rocks and candles. There are also lots of plants. Ever since Swiezecki started what she calls her “lifetime love affair” with flowers and herbs, she’s been fascinated with their wisdom. She uses them to help with physical, emotional and spiritual ailments -- not only for her clients, but also for herself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In my own life, I felt like I went through what you could call the dark night of the soul, or a descent into the underworld,” she tells me. “I hit a tremendous amount of grief, which I felt was from my lifetime but also ancestral. I was grieving, and I was crying so much that I had a rash from my tears.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So she started experimenting, and came up with an herbal formula specifically designed to remedy the pain of an emotional loss. She called it Heart Mend. Ingredients include herbs and flowers thought to help both the literal -- and the figurative -- heart, such as hawthorn, lemon balm, red roses, and the flower and bark of the mimosa tree.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In Chinese medicine, mimosa is called ‘the happiness bark’ or ‘the happiness plant,’ ” she says. “They grow around here. They have these wild, pink Dr. Seuss flowers. It’s known to be, quote unquote, ‘the herbal Prozac.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Swiecicki begins to play the drum, slowly and rhythmically, I close my eyes. I’ve been crying.

A few months ago, my boyfriend and I split up. I’m a mess. Some days the tiniest reference to love and romance will make me start sobbing, and then every other part of my life feels like it’s falling apart, too. I know I’m not alone here -- breakups are something almost everyone goes through at some point -- but that doesn’t make it any easier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had one client who was so heartbroken she said she felt like she had a bruise on her heart,” Swiecicki tells me when I show up at her office near Lake Merritt. “She’d wake up and look in the mirror, and be like, ‘Do I have a bruise there?’ It just felt sore.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10342108\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/10/Curandera1.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/10/Curandera1-400x430.jpg\" alt=\"Atava Garcia Swiecicki is a curandera, or Mexican folk healer, based in Oakland.

I take a deep breath. “I’m not going to burn these plants; I make a little broom, and -- with your permission -- hit you with the herbs,” she says with a laugh. “Gently, with love. It’s kind of like if the body was a house and we’re sweeping, we’re cleaning it off.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The egg, Swiecicki says, is an especially important part of the limpia. “It’s used as a psychic vacuum cleaner. It’s rubbed all over the body, to pull off negative energy, cords, to move stuck emotions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And I do feel stuck. There’s just so much that’s tangled up in losing a romantic partner. There’s the sense of yourself that changes and, really, the whole direction of your life. I hope that, somehow, participating in a ceremony like this can help me transition into the next chapter. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10342110\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/10/Herbs.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/10/Herbs-400x376.jpg\" alt=\"An herbalist as well as curandera, Swiecicki makes tinctures and distillations using plants she's gathered from around the Bay Area.

(Sara Bernard/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>When Swiecicki lights the copal resin with a candle, it starts to crackle and pop; a trail of fragrant smoke fills the air. I sit in a chair in front of the altar and glance around the room. It’s crammed with images of healers and deities from all sorts of traditions, glass bottles of herbal tinctures, crystals, rocks and candles. There are also lots of plants. Ever since Swiezecki started what she calls her “lifetime love affair” with flowers and herbs, she’s been fascinated with their wisdom. She uses them to help with physical, emotional and spiritual ailments -- not only for her clients, but also for herself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In my own life, I felt like I went through what you could call the dark night of the soul, or a descent into the underworld,” she tells me. “I hit a tremendous amount of grief, which I felt was from my lifetime but also ancestral. I was grieving, and I was crying so much that I had a rash from my tears.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So she started experimenting, and came up with an herbal formula specifically designed to remedy the pain of an emotional loss. She called it Heart Mend. Ingredients include herbs and flowers thought to help both the literal -- and the figurative -- heart, such as hawthorn, lemon balm, red roses, and the flower and bark of the mimosa tree.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In Chinese medicine, mimosa is called ‘the happiness bark’ or ‘the happiness plant,’ ” she says. “They grow around here. They have these wild, pink Dr. Seuss flowers. It’s known to be, quote unquote, ‘the herbal Prozac.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Swiecicki begins to play the drum, slowly and rhythmically, I close my eyes. I’ve been crying. And I keep crying as Swiezecki brushes my arms and back with the herbs, and the egg, and lulls me into a kind of trance with the rattle and the drum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10342111\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/10/HeartMend.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/10/HeartMend-400x372.jpg\" alt=\"Swiecicki has been creating herbal formulas for about ten years.

In fact, it suggests quite a few places in the country that would be appropriate venues for Valentine’s Day observances, including Romeoville in Illinois, Valentine in Nebraska, Love Valley in North Carolina and Darling in Minnesota.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These revelations are part of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.census.gov/newsroom/releases/archives/facts_for_features_special_editions/\">“Facts for Features” \u003c/a>series produced by the \u003ca href=\"https://www.census.gov\">Census Bureau,\u003c/a> which covers about 15 themes a year – ranging from the Super Bowl and hurricane season to the Fourth of July and Halloween.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_126375\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 1028px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/02/RS8758_IMG_7849-lpr.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-126375 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/02/RS8758_IMG_7849-lpr-1028x771.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1028\" height=\"771\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Red-and-pink balloons could be found in North Berkeley’s Gourmet Ghetto. (Patricia Yollin/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Although there are lots of facts and figures to wallow through, most are interesting and some are startling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Census Bureau reported that 69 percent of people 15 and older in the United States in 2013 had been married at some point in their lives. As of two years ago, 19 percent of them have been married twice and 5 percent three or more times. But 75 percent have tied the knot only once, countering the widespread notion that divorce is rampant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of those unions have, in fact, lasted a long time. As of 2009, 6 percent of currently wed women had been married for at least 50 years. The median age for a first marriage last year was 26.6 for women and 29 for men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To keep those marriages going, candy, jewelry and flowers are always useful, and the Census Bureau took a look at how those particular enticements have been doing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bureau reported that California led the nation three years ago, with 122 manufacturing establishments that produced chocolate and cocoa — a $13.5 billion industry in this country in 2011. The state also was ahead of the pack in making non-chocolate confectionary products, with 56 businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were almost 23,400 jewelry stores in the United States three years ago. Last February, they sold an estimated $2.8 billion in merchandise. By comparison, there were about 15,300 florists in 2011. And last year alone, through October, the total value of fresh-cut roses amounted to almost $355 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, it’s clear that the accoutrements of romance add up to big business, not that anyone would doubt it, especially this month. Equally unsurprising: In 2011, Nevada was the most popular state as far as places to get married, followed by Hawaii.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beyond its usual outpouring of data, the Census Bureau even had something to say about where the day originated:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Opinions differ as to who was the original Valentine, but the most popular theory is that he was a clergyman who was executed for secretly marrying couples in ancient Rome. In A.D. 496, Pope Gelasius I declared Feb. 14 as Valentine Day. Esther Howland, a native of Massachusetts, is given credit for selling the first mass-produced Valentine cards in the 1840s.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Facts for Features” covered \u003ca href=\"http://www.census.gov/newsroom/releases/archives/facts_for_features_special_editions/cb14-ff03.html\">Black History Month\u003c/a> as well this February. \u003ca href=\"http://www.census.gov/newsroom/releases/archives/facts_for_features_special_editions/cb14-ff05.html\">Women’s History Month\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.census.gov/newsroom/releases/archives/facts_for_features_special_editions/cb14-ff02.html\">St. Patrick’s Day\u003c/a> are coming up in March.

As of two years ago, 19 percent of them have been married twice and 5 percent three or more times. But 75 percent have tied the knot only once, countering the widespread notion that divorce is rampant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of those unions have, in fact, lasted a long time. As of 2009, 6 percent of currently wed women had been married for at least 50 years. The median age for a first marriage last year was 26.6 for women and 29 for men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To keep those marriages going, candy, jewelry and flowers are always useful, and the Census Bureau took a look at how those particular enticements have been doing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bureau reported that California led the nation three years ago, with 122 manufacturing establishments that produced chocolate and cocoa — a $13.5 billion industry in this country in 2011. The state also was ahead of the pack in making non-chocolate confectionary products, with 56 businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were almost 23,400 jewelry stores in the United States three years ago. Last February, they sold an estimated $2.8 billion in merchandise. By comparison, there were about 15,300 florists in 2011. And last year alone, through October, the total value of fresh-cut roses amounted to almost $355 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, it’s clear that the accoutrements of romance add up to big business, not that anyone would doubt it, especially this month. Equally unsurprising: In 2011, Nevada was the most popular state as far as places to get married, followed by Hawaii.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beyond its usual outpouring of data, the Census Bureau even had something to say about where the day originated:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Opinions differ as to who was the original Valentine, but the most popular theory is that he was a clergyman who was executed for secretly marrying couples in ancient Rome. In A.D. 496, Pope Gelasius I declared Feb. 14 as Valentine Day. Esther Howland, a native of Massachusetts, is given credit for selling the first mass-produced Valentine cards in the 1840s.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Facts for Features” covered \u003ca href=\"http://www.census.gov/newsroom/releases/archives/facts_for_features_special_editions/cb14-ff03.html\">Black History Month\u003c/a> as well this February. \u003ca href=\"http://www.census.gov/newsroom/releases/archives/facts_for_features_special_editions/cb14-ff05.html\">Women’s History Month\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.census.gov/newsroom/releases/archives/facts_for_features_special_editions/cb14-ff02.html\">St. Patrick’s Day\u003c/a> are coming up in March. April appears to be completely uneventful, but May is the Census Bureau’s most prolific time of year, given Mother’s Day, Cinco de Mayo, Older Americans Month and Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_126373\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 771px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/02/RS8756_IMG_7834-lpr.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-126373\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/02/RS8756_IMG_7834-lpr-771x1028.jpg\" alt=\"Red-and-pink balloons could be found on Shattuck Avenue and on Vine Street in North Berkeley's Gourmet Ghetto.\" width=\"771\" height=\"1028\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">This is the window of a lingerie shop on Vine Street in North Berkeley.
