Kicking Horse, BC, Canada, got a pre-season dusting this week...
Winter's knocking on the door for the northern hemisphere!
The Snow Headlines - October 20th
- We are in the final days of the southern hemisphere's 2023 season.
- Colorado ski area says it's "past halfway" with pre-season snowfall and snowmaking.
- Icelandic ski area grooms run for ski tourers, after big autumn snowfall.
- Colder temperatures in the Alps, some snow, but glaciers delay opening.
- Scottish ski centres see first proper snow covering this autumn so far.
- Fresh snow reported on ski slopes in the Czech and Slovak Republics.
- Europe's most southerly major resort, Spain's Sierra Nevada, gets a little snow.
- Snowfall in Bulgaria and other eastern European ski nations.
We see snow in the forecast...
Re-publication :- our Snow Report Summary, being the text above this line, is free to re-publish, but must be clearly credited to www.J2ski.com with text including "J2Ski Snow Report" linked to this page - thank you.
The long-awaited dip in temperatures in Europe has led to a tentative boost for those excited for the pre-season build-up.
Things have continued to be the most wintry up in Scandinavia, but the start of this week also saw Austrian resorts posting pictures of fresh snow covering their higher slopes and Eastern European nations from the Czech Republic down to Bulgaria have seen their mountains turn white too.
After snowfalls at the end of last week, it has been a quieter week for much of North America with lots of sunshine and warmer temperatures putting a halt to the new season build-up. But that's changing again with colder weather and fresh snowfall as we publish this week's report.
There's finally a change for the better in the Alps and indeed across a wider area with snowfall reported on high slopes from as far south as Sierra Nevada in Spain to Spindleruv Mlyn in the Czech Republic.
Temperatures finally began dropping at the weekend with Lech and Schladmng in Austria among the first to report sub-zero temperatures and snow falling by Sunday afternoon. It has stayed cold with more light snowfalls since.
The snow has arrived a little too late for some of the glacier areas that have again delayed opening though, until they've had enough fresh snow to make it possible. Solden and Stubai glaciers delayed planned weekend openings while the Diavolezza glacier near St Moritz and the Titlis above Engelberg won't be opening this coming weekend as planned either, the latter rescheduling for November 4th.
So far, two other Austrian areas, the Kitzsteinhorn above Kaprun and the Molltal in Carinthia both still say it's on for this weekend.
There are otherwise the same six glacier areas open as a week ago. Three in Austria's Tirol – Hintertux, the Kitzsteinhorn and Pitztal; then Saas Fee and Zermatt in Switzerland and Passo Stelvio in Italy.
Cervinia has also re-opened its access to the skiing above Zermatt and says it will now remain open year-round, without the spring and autumn closure periods of the past.
Zermatt/Cervinia, Saas Fee and Hintertux each have 12-15km of slopes open, for the other three it's just a few miles of slopes each at present. No ski areas are expected to open in France until the final weekend of November with Les 2 Alpes earlier abandoning plans to open for a fortnight of glacier snow sports from this coming weekend.
Northern European nations have continued to see snowfalls and low temperatures over the last week as the promising build-up to the new season continues there.
Levi and Ruka in Finland have been operating for a fortnight now and they've had plenty of fresh snow on top of the slopes created using snow recycled from last winter.
The Galdhopiggen glacier in Norway remains open too and even Blafjoll up in Iceland groomed a natural snow run on Saturday so that ski tourers and split-boarders had a run to ride down. Things should continue cold and snowy for the week ahead.
Most of the good snow news in North America came just after we completed last week's report as cold weather and natural snowfall across the west of the continent continued.
Up to a foot of snow fell in some high parts of the Rockies and ski areas as far south as California and New Mexico got a decent covering.
Since then though things have rather warmed up, in the daytime at least, and there's been lots of sunshine across the region, so some of these early gains have been lost. But the resorts in the running to be first in Colorado, and maybe the US, to open have managed to make snowmaking progress and the likes of Arapahoe Basin and Keystone say they're now halfway to having enough snow to be able to start opening.
So it's mostly a case of keeping everything crossed for another temperature drop and snow dump soon. That is already starting to happen with ski areas around Banff reporting heavy snowfall as we complete this week's report.
The southern hemisphere's 2023 season really is into its last few days now with just a few centres still operating, and all of them (at the time of writing) saying this coming weekend will be their last.
Although Australian ski centres have had a second October snowfall in the past week, all have now been closed since September.
However, resorts have operated into October in the Andes and New Zealand. South America's biggest ski centre, Catedral near Bariloche in Argentina, announced it would stay open another bonus week to the 22nd and the two centres on Mt Ruapehu on New Zealand's North Island, Turoa and Whakapapa, also plan to stay open until then. So it's these three areas still operating.
Two other New Zealand centres, Mt Hutt and Cardrona, closed last weekend, reporting fresh snowfall on Saturday for their final days.

Residents in one Corpus Christi neighborhood are fed up and fighting back, after their streets have recently been hit by a slew of burglaries.
Neighbors said that the person behind it is one of their own neighbors, and now, residents are coming together to try and figure out how they are going to keep their belongings safe.
"I feel violated," said John Garza, whose home was burglarized. "It's a very unpleasant feeling to have your house broken into."
Garza has lived in the neighborhood for 13 years and has never had a problem, until now. It turns out that residents who live on Susan and Whitaker have seen their belongings disappear, and they say they know who the thief is.
According to the residents, the thief is one of their neighbors, someone who lives right down the street; and for them, that is the worst part.
"Especially when you have tried to help out as much as you can and he turns around and stabs you in the back," Garza said.
Garza was targeted by the thief recently. His Playstation, some games and a jewelry box were stolen; but other neighbors said they are missing tools, and some even reported missing TVs.
"It's frustrating and it's scary if they are breaking into the house while you are in there," said Virginia Sandoval, a resident in that neighborhood. "That's really scary."
Police said they found some of the stolen loot Sunday afternoon. They are aggressively investigating each burglary case, and they think they know who is behind the break-ins. They will continue to work the cases until the thief is behind bars.
In the meantime, neighbors will do what they can to keep their things safe.
"We are all getting together now and trying to keep an eye out on everyone's homes," Sandoval said. "Everyone works. We are going to try and come up with a neighborhood watch."
Neighbors just hope that police catch the crook quickly. Only then will peace return to their once quiet neighborhood.
If you are interested in starting your own neighborhood watch, here is what you can do. Get as many people involved as possible, and come up with a patrol schedule; but don't wait until it is too late. It is always best to take action as soon as you notice a steady increase in crime.

Make a Cabochon Bezel with Right-Angle Weave
Making an open-backed bezel for a cabochon has certain advantages over making one using bead embroidery techniques. If you’re using a transparent or translucent cabochon, stitching an open-backed bezel for it will allow light to pass through it and make it brighter. Or when using a transparent cabochon, you don’t want the color of the bead embroidery backing to show through, it makes more sense to stitch an open-backed bezel for it.
You can make beaded bezels with peyote stitch and brick stitch, but I recently started using right-angle weave for some of my open-backed bezels. Using a strip of right-angle weave to create a bezel results in a better fit and a tighter bezel around your precious cabochons!
- 1 gram of size 11o seed beads in one or more colors to match or contrast with cabochon
- 1 gram of size 15o seed beads in color to match or contrast with cabochon
- 6 lb. Fireline or beading thread of your choice
- Size 12 beading needle
- Scissors of thread cutter
- Chain nose pliers (optional, but helpful)
Step By Step Directions:
Step 1. Start by making a strip of right-angle weave to fit around the bezel. Use four beads for each unit. For the last unit, you’ll only need to add one bead to the top and one bead to the bottom of the strip to join the ends. If the bezel is slightly loose, that’s okay — you can tighten it later.
Step 2. Exiting from one of the beads on the outer edge of the bezel, pick up another size11o bead and stitch through the next bead on the outer edge of the bezel. Fill in each space between beads in the right-angle weave bezel with another bead. I used a contrasting color for this row so that I could see where I was stitching.
Make a step-up at the end of the round like you do when working in tubular even-count peyote stitch.
Step 3. Working in peyote stitch, add a round of size 15o beads between each of the size 11o beads that you just added in the previous round.
Keep your tension tight as you work. Insert the cabochon into the bezel.
Step 4. Flip the cabochon and bezel over, and start stitching a round of 11o beads in between the beads along the outer edge of the strip of right-angle weave. Again, keep your tension tight as you stitch.
Step 5. Make a step up at the end of the round, and add a second round with the size 15o seed beads. Continue to work with a tight tension to make a secure bezel.
Step 6. A right-angle weave bezel is easy to embellish! Add fringe beads like magatamas or drop beads, pearls, or crystals.
Right-angle weave bezels are also easier to join together when stitching up several components for a beaded necklace or beaded bracelet. The spaces between the beads in the right-angle weave units make it easier to work your needle into the beads!

Helmholtz Alberta Initiative in Neurodegenerative Disease Research
Researchers at the Centre for Prions and Protein Folding Diseases (CPPFD) at the University of Alberta have joined forces with prion disease researchers from the German Center for Neurodegenerative Disease (DZNE). The DZNE is a component of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers. The strengths of the CPPFD expertise lie in prion strains, Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), prion structure, prion cell biology and protein misfolding, as well as specialized instrumentation within biocontainment and a vivarium for prion bioassays. The CPPFD complements the strengths of the DZNE scientists in Bonn and Goettingen with their expertise in human prion disease, prion strains, NMR spectroscopy of misfolded proteins, a biobank of human samples from patients with genetic, sporadic and variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, samples from patients with other neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease as well as healthy controls, and prion disease biomarker discovery.
This Helmholtz Alberta Initiative in Neurodegenerative Disease Research (HAI-NDR) partnership is at the Edmonton site lead by Dr. Judd Aiken with the assistance of Dr. Holger Wille. The partnership emphasizes a number of essential questions employing diverse methodologies (molecular and cellular biology, electron and confocal microscopy, whole animal imaging, mouse transgenesis, organotypic slices, genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics) to address the fundamental research challenges of prion diseases, including: • Prion disease therapeutics based upon advances in prion protein structure and function • Biomarkers for early diagnosis of prion disease infection • New methods to define and characterize prion strains • Continued development of unique cell-based prion infection models • Examination of protein misfolding in other neurodegenerative diseases • Translation of findings to human prion diseases and other neurodegenerative disorders
An integral component of this research partnership between the CPPFD and the DZNE is the exchange of students and trainees providing them with exposure and access to novel protocols, approaches and state-of-the-art instrumentation.

Reps. Rick Larsen (WA-02), Don Beyer (VA-08), and Judy Chu (CA-27) recently introduced the Restoring Fulbright Exchanges with China and Hong Kong Act. In 2020, President Trump signed an executive order to end Fulbright exchanges both to and from China and Hong Kong.
“Restoring Fulbright exchanges with China and Hong Kong will help the United States build its China expertise, strengthen people-to-people ties, and give Chinese participants an opportunity to experience the real United States and the benefits of academic freedom,” said Larsen, a co-chair of the bipartisan U.S.–China Working Group and author of a China White Paper published in December 2021.
“Fulbright volunteers represent the United States abroad and forge connections with everyday people, even in countries where official relations are strained,” said Chu. “The decision by the Trump administration to end Fulbright exchanges with mainland China and Hong Kong was short-sighted and intended only to worsen U.S.–China diplomatic relations. The Restoring Fulbright Exchanges with China and Hong Kong Act will give Fulbright exchange students from across the United States the chance to return to China and Hong Kong again, helping to advance U.S. interests diplomatically by improving communication and understanding between our countries.”
The Fulbright Foreign Student Program enables graduate students, young professionals, and artists from the United States and abroad to research and study abroad and in the United States for one year or longer at universities or other appropriate institutions.

EUR/USD has been moving higher, but can it rally hard?
Here is their view, courtesy of eFXdata:
Societe Generale Research discusses EUR/USD outlook in light of its latest forecasts updates which now puts EUR/USD at 1.14 by mid-next year ahead of 1.20 by next year-end.
EUR/USD is at the heart of a dollar forecast, even if we don’t think the euro is driving global currency trends. The consensus for next year, according to Bloomberg, looks for a rise through 2020 to 1.13 by mid-year and 1.15 by 4Q. The pace picks up a bit after that and reaches 1.20 by 2023, which is conveniently in line with the forward rate. How exciting is that? Our EUR/USD forecast looks for 1.20 to arrive earlier, by the end of 2020. That puts us at the upper end (but not quite at the very top) of the survey panel,” SocGen notes.
“The question for 2020 is whether a euro recovery requires eurozone growth, or if further slowing in US growth to European levels is enough?,” SocGen adds.

It's time to review Maguire's remarkable stats
We asked Harry Maguire about some of his stats in the Premier League last month and, rightly so, he indicated the time to properly reflect on them was when the campaign was over.
Although we still have the Europa League to look forward to, the 2-0 win at Harry's former club Leicester City on Sunday ended our league term on a real positive note, cementing third place in the table and securing Champions League football in 2020/21.
So it feels like we should now have a closer look at some key stats surrounding the skipper's debut season at United, one which saw him handed the armband, and post some eye-catching figures.
First and foremost, he became the first outfield player to appear in every single minute of a Premier League season for the Reds since fellow centre-back Gary Pallister in the 1994/95 season.
Colleague David De Gea also achieved this feat, as did seven of his fellow keepers - Martin Dubravka (Newcastle), Ben Foster (Watford), Jordan Pickford (Everton), Nick Pope (Burnley), Rui Patricio (Wolves), Mathew Ryan (Brighton) and Kasper Schmeichel (Leicester City).
However, only Conor Coady (Wolves), George Baldock (Sheffield United), James Tarkowski (Burnley), Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool), Declan Rice (West Ham) and James Ward-Prowse (Southampton) matched Maguire's minutes in terms of outfield players.
It is clear that Maguire has the sort of robustness that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and indeed any manager, appreciates. It has not always been easy in recent times to have defenders who can play in every single game, a point backed up by the fact that Pallister was the last, and having somebody who is always one of the first names on the teamsheet is a major boost.
Furthermore, the no.5 is often in the thick of things and is usually engaged in physical combat. There were reports he would be a long-term absentee when injured during the Emirates FA Cup tie at Wolves in early January, which caused him to miss the home leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final with Manchester City.
He was missed that night when the Blues raced into a three-goal lead at the interval but returned, ahead of schedule, for the 4-0 beating of Norwich City a mere four days later.
More recently, he required lengthy treatment for head injuries against both Crystal Palace and Chelsea but soldiered on, with a headband initially at Wembley.
The England international's prowess in the air was established long before he joined the club. He ended up winning 193 aerial duels this term, third behind Tarkowski (209) and West Ham striker Sebastien Haller (197) when comparing everybody in the division.
One fact he was aware of, when we spoke to him for the official programme, United Review, was that he was making more headers than during his time at Leicester City (he ending up having more in the one campaign here than both of the last two combined with the Foxes - 172).
Did this surprise him?
"Yes, it is strange but, when I think about that stat, and I have actually thought about it when I’ve seen it as I got tagged in it quite a lot [on social media], I think it’s because we put such a high press on teams," he explained. "The boys at the top end of the pitch are constantly pressing and it gives the other team no other option but to kick the ball long really.
“So I would say that is probably the main reason in terms of me averaging more headers this season than any other. All credit to the attacking boys and their fitness work for doing the pressing, which makes defenders have no option but to kick it long and find my head!"
Having such a dominant force in the air is extremely useful for any side but there is another, perhaps under-appreciated, facet to the central defender's game and one that helped convince Solskjaer to bring him to Old Trafford.
Maguire is extremely adept at bringing the ball forward and the stats are pretty remarkable in this respect. He sits in fourth spot in the overall list for the Premier League for this skill, as noted by FBRef.com, and the players ahead of him are attacking dribblers who run at opposing defenders. Jack Grealish, Wilfried Zaha and Adama Traore are the only men who have covered more ground in possession than our captain.
"It’s something that, when I signed for this club, was what the gaffer reiterated," he said. "He wanted to start attacks from the back and be in control of games. He wanted to build up from possession and I felt my game was suited to help him do that.
“It was nice to see a lot of stats over this lockdown. I have seen so many flung about as there’s not been much else for people to do, apart from find out stats! But, no, it’s been nice to see them although, for me personally, it’s business now. We have the remaining games and then I’ll evaluate the season after these eight matches. It’s been great and a pleasing start for me, particularly after getting the captain’s armband at such an iconic club. We will push on from there – there is still lots of improvement [to be made]."
If Maguire does get any time for reflection before we are back in action for next week's Europa League clash with LASK, it will be hoped that it is coupled with some well-earned rest and recuperation.
The official Premier League stats log 38 appearances, 13 clean sheets, 2,519 passes and zero errors leading to goals.
It has been a demanding end to the campaign but one in which we have achieved the goal of clinching a place in the Champions League.
That Harry was able to finish the job by shutting out his former side Leicester, and his pal and Golden Boot-winner Jamie Vardy, should bring an extra sense of personal satisfaction. No doubt, his mind will be wandering and thinking of getting his hands on the Europa League trophy, though, come next month.
We are all United! Get behind the Reds! On sale now, get the new adidas training kit.

Makes 4 servings
1 package firm tofu
1 Tablespoon olive oil
½ yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 inch of fresh ginger, peeled and minced
1 cup shredded cabbage
½ cup shredded or diced carrots
¼ cup soy sauce
2 Tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 Tablespoon maple syrup
1 Tablespoon chili garlic sauce (optional)
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
24 rice paper wrappers
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil for frying
These vegan and gluten-free dumplings are a version of the viral rice paper dumplings. Made with tofu and veggies, these are a fun and delicious option to make with your kids.
1. Cut the tofu block into four equal pieces and press out the water. This can be done by wrapping the tofu in a towel and placing between two cutting boards with weight on the top.
2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add olive oil and preheat. Add onions and stir to coat. Let cook for 2–3 minutes stirring occasionally until onions are translucent. Add garlic and ginger and stir together. Cook for about a minute or until fragrant.
3. Get your pressed tofu and crumble with your hands into the saucepan, making sure to break into small pieces of tofu instead of large chunks. Stir to combine and cook for 1–2 minutes to heat the tofu through.
4. Add cabbage and carrots and mix to coat. Cook for 1–2 minutes stirring occasionally to heat through.
5. Add soy sauce, vinegar, maple syrup, chili, and sesame oil and stir to combine. Let cook for 3–4 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated from the pan and the cabbage has wilted. Remove from heat and let cool until able to handle.
6. Each dumpling uses two rice paper wrappers to make. To wrap, fill a large bowl with warm water. Dip a rice paper wrapper into the water until it is just soft, about 30 seconds. Be careful—they’re delicate. Spread the wrapper out on a cutting board and gently pat dry with a clean kitchen towel. It’s okay if it’s not perfectly flat.
7. Place a scoop of the mixture (about ¼ cup) in the middle of the rice paper wrapper. Fold each side of the wrapper into the middle until you end up with a square parcel-like dumpling. Take another wrapper that has been dipped in water and softened and place it below the already wrapped dumpling. Place the already wrapped dumpling fold side down. Fold the second wrapped the same way around the dumpling by bringing the sides into the middle to create a square. Repeat this process until you have 12 dumplings.
8. In a large saucepan over medium heat, add oil. Heat until shimmering. Carefully add your dumplings and fry on each side until golden brown, about 3–4 minutes. You might need to do this in batches depending on the size of your pan.
9. Serve by themselves or with your sauce of choice! We went with sweet chili sauce.

NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) — South Korean molecular diagnostics firm Bioneer announced on Wednesday the availability of a molecular test kit for the Ebola virus that it has developed in collaboration with the Nigerian National Biotechnology Development Agency (NABDA).
Specifically, the company's AccuPower EBOV real-time RT-PCR kit is optimized for detection of the Zaire subtype of the Ebola virus associated with recent outbreaks in Africa. Bioneer has worked with NABDA since April to develop means to rapidly detect this subtype.
The new kit is currently in limited use by NABDA, and Bioneer plans to make it available for use throughout Africa, a company spokesperson said.
Bioneer recently presented details about the kit at an Ebola virus-related workshop held by NABDA in Abuja, Nigeria, where the company trained symposium attendees on the firm's ExiStation real-time PCR system, as well as on the assay's use, outlining how it could provide early diagnosis of viral infection and quantitative analysis of viral load during treatment.

If you had no idea newly engaged Jennifer Lawrence was even dating Cooke Maroney in the first place, you're not alone—the star has masterfully managed to keep her private life just that. While we know that the Instagramless actress won't be filling our feeds with ring selfies any time soon, the public's fascination with the mysterious new bauble has only magnified since news of her engagement broke on Tuesday, February 5. But it seems J. Law is seemingly one step ahead of the game, with fans convinced that she's debuting a decoy jewel to throw off the paparazzi. Let's unpack this.
It began when sources who initially teased the couple's engagement to Page Six witnessed them during a celebratory dinner in New York with "a giant rock" nestled on Lawrence's left hand. "They seemed like they were celebrating and people were talking about it," the insider continued. "The ring was very noticeable."
The claims were somewhat validated, thanks to a blurry paparazzi photo from the same evening. Per Elle, a close-up of the image shows what looks to be like a decent-sized diamond. Color us impressed.
Fast-forward to Wednesday, February 6, though, when the lovebirds stepped out once more, this time with Lawrence sporting a different jewel on her ring finger. More, much clearer pics revealed just a simple gold accessory with a barely-there center stone that's definitely not the same ring as before. Curious...
Celebitchy notes that J. Law may have just turned the OG ring around, hiding the diamond in her palm to keep the press off her back. If she did invest in a separate backup bauble, though, we're thoroughly wowed by both her ingenuity and the second jewel's stunning minimal design (modern brides, take note).
Lawrence and Maroney's romance was officially confirmed in June 2018, shortly after the actress parted ways with Mother! director Darren Aronofsky. Let's only hope Lawrence plans to debut her new jewelry on the Oscars red carpet in a few short weeks.

Cannabidiol (CBD) oil has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its potential health benefits, including reducing anxiety and inflammation, improving sleep, and promoting a sense of calm. Despite this growing interest in CBD, there are still many misconceptions about this compound that need to be addressed. In this article, we’ll be debunking five common myths about CBD that need to be busting now.
Myth 1: CBD hasn’t been scientifically proven to help any health conditions
One of the biggest myths about CBD is that it hasn’t been scientifically proven to help any health conditions. However, this is far from the truth. There have been numerous studies conducted on CBD that have shown its potential to help with a range of health conditions, including anxiety, pain, and insomnia. While more research is needed to fully understand the potential health benefits of CBD, the current evidence is promising and suggests that it may be an effective treatment for a variety of conditions.
Myth 2: It’s a Schedule 1 narcotic, so no research has been done on the compound
Another common myth about CBD is that it’s a Schedule 1 narcotic, meaning that no research has been done on the compound. While it’s true that CBD is derived from the hemp plant, which is a close relative of the marijuana plant, it is not a narcotic. In fact, the 2014 Farm Bill legalized hemp-derived CBD, making it legal to grow, produce, and sell in the United States. This has paved the way for increased research on CBD and its potential health benefits.
Myth 3: CBD is a marketing scam
Another myth about CBD is that it’s just a marketing scam, designed to take advantage of people’s health concerns. However, this is not the case. CBD is a real compound with real potential health benefits, as demonstrated by numerous studies and testimonials from people who have used it. While it’s true that there are some unscrupulous companies out there that are making false claims about the benefits of CBD, it’s important to do your research and choose a high-quality product from a reputable source to ensure that you’re getting a genuine product.
Myth 4: “I took CBD for 7 days and nothing happened, so it doesn’t work.”
Some people believe that if they take CBD for a few days and don’t see any immediate results, then it doesn’t work. However, this is not how CBD works. Unlike traditional medications, which work quickly to produce an immediate effect, CBD is a natural compound that works gradually over time to produce a more sustained benefit. In order to see the full benefits of CBD, it may take several weeks or even months of consistent use.
Myth 5: The CBD industry is sketchy, which makes CBD sketchy
Finally, some people believe that the CBD industry is sketchy, which makes CBD sketchy. While it’s true that there are some unscrupulous companies out there that are selling low-quality products or making false claims about the benefits of CBD, this is not a reflection of the entire industry.

Once you've read through and accurately printed and constructed your pattern this month, it's time to consider fabrics. I'm not going to say this part is easy - fabric selection is one of the hardest things for me! I was thinking about a beige range of fabrics, but once I set my eyes on these stash options in streaked gold and mottled gold, I knew I'd found my outer biscuits. Then I set out some pinks I thought could work as my raspberry part and put them out to look over as I consider the best way to create my applique pieces.
Here I am, my pattern pieces carefully drawn on fusible and cut out with a scalpel. Use a light box if necessary to trace the pieces accurately - you really need to keep an eye on tracing the pattern pieces correctly. You don't want your shapes to 'grow'. To have a nice neat finished block, every little piece needs to be kept in check at every stage.
Here are all my cut out pieces
I'm using the fusible applique method - it's the easiest and fastest way to get the shapes down
especially when dealing with so many thin flimsy pieces
and you don't have to turn edge if you don't want to - raw edge is fine
I had actually planned on making all of Sweet 2016 raw edge, but forgot when I started my macaroons and then found myself turn edging everything! What can I say? After LE, turn edging has become second nature to me!
These slivers are the shaded biscuit area that create depth between the biscuits. I had considered a darker gold (which would have worked) but ended up deciding on this deep chocolate with gold detail to tie it in. I just liked the contrast.
Here are the two shapes that create each biscuit
The gold outer biscuit and the lighter inner shape below.
Here I am carefully turn edging each shape. I'm using glue to keep it in place. I only ever use Elmer's Glue for this as it's not a glue, but actually a starch which washes away easily.
You can see how I leave the fusible in and turn my edge on it
I mention this because, over the whole shape of the block, turn edging can add mms on each shape which can add up by the end. To stop this happening, I cut out my shapes on the line, instead of immediately next to it. and this takes off an extra 1-2mm which will be added when I turn my edge. It sounds like such a small trick, but it really helps keep my applique pieces accurate.
and this is how it looks against my pattern. I check every single piece as I'm making it
I pin the pieces in place as I move onto the next overlapping ones
If any shapes have grown, I immediately re-adjust the edge until it fits the pattern
front and back of the biscuits
coming along nicely
and once the biscuit pieces are all dine, this is what they look like from the back
when I'm sure my biscuits are right, I add the biscuit edges - the contrast shade from the back
and it looks like this
and here is the front
Remember that each dome has it's own size each month - so follow the pattern. Don't make any ahead or assume they will be the same - they aren't.
Because of the light, you can't see my dome so well in this image, but I have opted for a milky background and on this dome I have not added any lacing or fringe - whether you add a decorative fringe on your own dome is a matter of personal preference.
And here's the happy dollop of cream to top my lovely Raspberry Charlotte
For now, I've pinned my dome in place on my current but temporary background.
I haven't decided on my final backing fabric, but am having fun plating around whilst I look.
'Sweet 2016' is my current Mystery Applique BOM
It's just $3.95 per month

Is it just me or is Jane kind of The Worst lately? She’s been dangerously teetering on the edge of The Worst for a few weeks now, what with belittling Pinstripe for his line of work and assuming Jacqueline should be happy to give her back her job at Scarlet, but she really cements it with an unbelievable display of self-righteousness in “Betsy,” after discovering that Sutton’s been keeping her shotgun in the apartment.
Sutton absolutely should’ve let her roommate know that she was keeping her gun (named after Betsy Ross) from her Central PA high-school skeet-shooting club in the apartment, and Jane’s initial shock is warranted (the rapid-fire Q&A is a bit dramatic), but at some point she needed to dial it back. This is her very best friend and she’s supposed to be writing a coherent story about gun control. Come on, Jane — less yelling, more listening! Even after Jane hastily pitches “I Love Everything About My Roommate Except Her Gun” and Jacqueline is into it, Jane never makes room for Sutton’s point of view. Jacqueline has Jane revise her first draft because it is clearly a one-sided rant instead of a nuanced look at the gun-control debate. Of course, Jane’s response to that critique is to ask her boss, the editor-in-chief of a major national publication, if she’s mad at her. Jacqueline somehow does not fire Jane again and calmly explains that no, she isn’t mad. She is Jane’s boss and she’s doing her job — telling one of her writers to make her story better. Mad at you?! My eyes are still rolling, Jane.
For her first attempt to understand Sutton, Jane has her roommate do a show-and-tell at the apartment. Sutton puts the gun together and while Kat acts like a normal friend and lets Sutton explain that Shooting Club, though perhaps strange to the rest of us, was a big part of her high-school experience, Jane just looks like she’s going to vomit. The two ladies continue to debate the subject, until finally Jane reveals where her emotional outbursts stem from: She was in first grade when Columbine happened just five miles away from her own school, and she was left traumatized. The boys responsible for the mass murder used shotguns. It’s hard for her to see her best friend holding up a shotgun in her own apartment. Jane’s feelings are extremely understandable and yeah, a person should get angry about a lot of this — the difference between Jane and Sutton though, is that Sutton actually takes in what her friend is saying.
Attempt two: Pinstripe is the one who pushes Jane to take some time and learn why Sutton loves shooting so much, since that’s, like, the whole point of her article. This leads me to wonder: is everyone a better journalist than Jane? Jane, Sutton, and Kat take Betsy out to shoot some skeet, but it ends up being much like before. Kat, who is also vocally against guns and not too enthused to discover that Sutton is a gun owner, is at least open to genuinely hearing her friend. Jane, again looking very green, pulls the trigger once and flips out. All she could feel was the power of a deadly weapon and she refuses to have it in her apartment anymore. Sutton’s offended that Jane saw how adept she was with Betsy, yet still does not trust her. Adeptness with a weapon isn’t really what Jane’s so riled up about, but sure. Regardless, that Uber ride back to the city is going to be super awkward.
The whole thing becomes moot anyway, since Jane figures out that Sutton’s attachment to Betsy is more emotional than anything else. It feels strange for The Bold Type to bring up something so divisive and end it tied up in a neat little bow, where everyone ends up happy and talking about desk décor and doing Marlon Brando impressions, but here we go.
Sutton’s having a tough week: Aside from all the Jane stuff, she’s also having trouble delivering on a Balenciaga bag she promised Oliver she could get from one of Brooke’s contacts. Sutton’s been avoiding Brooke since she ditched her for Jane’s award ceremony (still nothing with the $500 coke charge, huh?), and it seems Brooke is taking it out on her by taking away access to her wide network of fashion-industry connections. Sutton even goes as far as tracking Brooke down based on her latest Instagram post (the downside of broadcasting your every move, kids!), but it’s obvious Brooke is lying to her face — Sutton won’t be getting any more favors from the influencer. She’ll have to confess the big failure to Oliver.
With everything going on, Sutton heads to the gun range to clear her head. Jane finds her there and everything starts to make sense: Jane realizes that Shooting Club was Tuesday afternoons, which was perfect timing for Sutton, who by Tuesdays would need a reprieve from helping her alcoholic mother off her weekend binge. Doing something simple like shooting a target helped Sutton feel in control of things, when in reality they were very much out of her control. Sort of like now with the Balenciaga bag, with losing Richard. Betsy is Sutton’s safety blanket and maybe that’s why she is clinging to it so tightly. Sutton has an a-ha moment, decides she wants to let go of her past, and so she turns Betsy into a pair of earrings.
Jacqueline is pleased with the new draft of Jane’s story, which finds room for Sutton’s story, but wants her to keep going — dig deeper. Uh, does this mean we’re going to learn more about Babs Brady? My arms are open wide, ready for more backstory on our ladies.
In much more adorable news: Sutton finally fesses up to Oliver about the bag. His reaction is delightful. He immediately gets on the phone, calls the same contact Sutton was trying to work, and lands the bag. He got the Balenciaga guy his first job — he owes Oliver several favors. He also refers to himself as “the Wizard,” and if it wasn’t completely obvious before, we all deserve to spend more time with Oliver. He reminds Sutton that he’s been working in this industry for 20 years and he has contacts, too. Most importantly, he impresses upon his assistant that they are a team. They are meant to work together. If she has a problem, she should come to him. They don’t hug it out but Oliver does sarcastically yell “Go team!” and it is almost as good. Almost.
From the Back Page
• Adena thinks Kat needs to explore her sexuality and gives her free rein to sleep with other women during the week. Kat’s apprehensive at first, but agrees that it could be good for her. Her first exploratory mission is with her Uber driver, one in which Kat learns to be dominant in bed. She breaks Adena’s first rule of Open Relationship Club and tells her girlfriend all about her afternoon delight. They seem okay with it … for now.
• “Locate your inner sexual explorer and let that bitch out to play.” That line is begging to be cross-stitched onto something.
• Why don’t more people sing Oliver’s name?
• Okay, I know I’m coming off very “Get off my lawn” in this recap, but I have one more Jane gripe: She should be so grateful that she has her job back, not complaining that she doesn’t get to sit at her old desk. She’s the one who quit! And the parade through the bullpen upon her return? Don’t get me started. YOUTHS.
• What’s up with Pinstripe? Jane-Pinstripe scenes are always good, but I wonder what his endgame is here.
• Not to be dramatic or anything, but: WHERE THE HELL IS ALEX?

According to the ambassador, political debates should be held in parliament, adding that it’s important for the opposition to have the conditions to operate. He recalled the European Union progress report which said that the conditions in parliament are not good and should be changed.
“The opposition has indicated that it will boycott the elections (next spring) because it feels that the conditions for fair elections have not been met and now an effort has been made to get things moving within the dialogue (between the opposition and authorities)”, Schieb said adding that Berlin supports that dialogue in principle because it sees it as an important process.
Speaking about the Kosovo situation, the ambassador said that everyone is trying to convince Pristina to revoke the 100 percent tariffs on Serbian goods. He recalled that the Quint ambassadors called both sides to abandon any activities which could have a negative effect on the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue, including Belgrade’s campaign to convince other countries to withdraw their recognition of Kosovo.
He voiced optimism that Pristina would agree to revoke the tariffs. “As long as the talks are not underway, a solution is hard to find. As long as there is no dialogue the situation could deteriorate,” he warned.

Importance to Society
A peer group include members who share the same/similar interests, social positions and usually have a great influence on the socialization of group members
Peer groups can also serve as a platform for teaching members gender roles
Adolescent peer groups provide support for children and teens as they lean into the adult society

Peer groups have an important influence on psychological and social adjustments for group individuals
The influence of peer groups typically peaks during adolescence
Adolescence and late childhood are when children/teenagers are more vulnerable ...view middle of the document...
Studies of peer victimization have shown that children who were victims carry over depressive tendencies and negative self esteem into early adulthood.
Peer pressure throughout early adolescence cause some teens to join gangs or form cliques with others who were ostracized. Teens who join gangs perceive the gang as a form of camaraderie, and not an agent that promotes violence and the use of drugs.
Self consciousness during adolescence also leads many teens to extreme dieting to match that standards promoted by the media and peer groups at school.

SRM Arms was showcasing their non-lethal bolt for their rotary-tube magazine shotgun. Colored orange for easy identification, the bolt is designed specifically for lower-power bean-bag and non-lethal loadings. The bolt is drop-in into the existing firearm and can only cycle low-power shells. SRM did not that it will chamber and fire a single lethal-loaded round before rendering itself unusable without armory work.
SRM commented that many departments have been asking for specifically for dedicated non-lethal shotguns with more ammunition capacity. Most departments do not mix lethal and non-lethal shotguns for the reasons mentioned above. For one customer, they produced the blaze orange complete firearm.
Also buried in the booth were two models of smaller magazine capacity. I would estimate they are 2 and 3-shot models.
SRM promised a shotgun for TFB’s review. Look for it in the future!

According to a hospital source, ten children aged between 5 and 12 have died since Sunday. Nine people are still hospitalized.
Another tragedy has struck the central region of the country. Ten children aged 5 to 12 have died from a disease of unknown origin. Afflicted by severe “convulsions,” “diarrhea,” and “vomiting,” the victims fell into a coma before passing away.
Up to 76 people were hospitalized at the Bouaké University Hospital (CHU). The majority of these patients have since been discharged from the healthcare facility. Nine of them are still under observation, including one person in intensive care and two pregnant women.
According to medical sources, all of them had consumed a “cornmeal porridge” in Niangban, a village located about thirty kilometers south of Bouaké.
In December and January of last year, at least sixteen people from the village of Kpo-Kahankro, 20 km from Niangban, lost their lives due to a mysterious illness.
The villagers initially blamed a fetish for the mystical ailment. However, the Ministry of Health concluded that it was a clostridium contamination, a bacterium found on a fetish buried in the village.

What’s supposed to be a simple spy job in occupied Belgium turns into a deadly game of dark magic and deception.
Welcome to The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.
(Sneak peek at the first chapter @ Goodreads)


A “year of efficiency” — that is how Meta Platforms (META -four.55%) CEO Mark Zuckerberg is characterizing a wave of expense cuts at his business. In a note to investors and workers on March 14, Zuckerberg described the financial slowdown in 2022 as a wake-up get in touch with soon after years of seemingly unabated development for Meta. The business had to adapt to this new atmosphere, and the CEO is now answering the get in touch with.
Zuckerberg painted a comparatively grim outlook for the broader economy, but his awareness of that possible situation combined with Meta’s planned response is specifically why investors should really obtain the stock. Let me clarify.
Meta prepares for hard instances ahead
Meta shareholders have grown in particular vocal about the company’s disappointing economic efficiency more than the final 12 months. Meta had expanded its workforce at a speedy pace in the previous, and it continues to invest billions of dollars in its aspirations for a virtual globe known as the metaverse, which is housed beneath its Reality Labs segment.
But these moves no longer jibe with the company’s reality: Its quarterly income development hit stall-speed all through 2022, and essentially shrank in the second, third, and fourth quarters, year more than year, which decimated its earnings possible. Meanwhile, Meta’s core platforms Facebook and Instagram have been beneath threat from ByteDance’s TikTok, the brief-type video app sweeping the globe.
Investors weren’t seeing an proper response from management, and they subsequently sent Meta stock on a peak-to-trough plunge of 76%.
Fortunately, Zuckerberg rose to the challenge. In November final year, he announced Meta would lay off 11,000 workers and additional very carefully handle charges across the company. Plus, he committed to putting extra concentrate on the Reels function inside Facebook and Instagram, which utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) to curate content material feeds — this was created to compete straight with TikTok. The shift in technique was sufficient to halt the investor exodus.
In his letter final week, Zuckerberg says the adjustments so far have led to an all round improvement in efficiency, and that prompted the business to appear even additional closely at approaches it could additional enhance its efficiency. Meta has identified ten,000 additional jobs it plans to reduce in 2023, which will support to flatten the organizational hierarchy, streamlining reporting and stopping technical projects from overlapping. These are crucial choices due to the fact Zuckerberg recommended Meta is preparing for this hard economy to final for numerous years to come.
Reality Labs is the opposite of what Meta wants correct now
When the metaverse notion nonetheless has possible, Reality Labs’ current economic efficiency has been a drag on the whole company’s earnings. Most analysts do not count on the metaverse to produce any meaningful income for years. In that context, it is clear why Meta’s investors have voiced issues about its excessive spending on the project.
Take the fourth quarter of 2022, for instance. Reality Labs generated just $727 million in sales, which not only underperformed the rest of the business for development, but it was also a dismal return on the $five billion of expenditures reported. Its subsequent operating loss of $four.three billion was the segment’s worst quarterly outcome to date.
That operating loss ate into Meta’s $ten.7 billion in operating revenue generated by its hugely lucrative family members of apps (Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp). When we boil it down to the bottom line, Reality Labs was a main trigger of the company’s 55% plunge in net revenue year more than year.
Here’s why Meta Platforms stock is a obtain anyway
In the fourth-quarter conference get in touch with, Mark Zuckerberg stated the company’s concentrate on efficiency is companywide, and it contains Reality Labs. But that does not imply the project will shed much less dollars this year. Susan Li, the company’s chief economic officer, told investors to count on elevated Reality Labs losses in 2023 due to the fact the business thinks the segment is a crucial piece of its extended-term future.
Zuckerberg envisions 1 billion customers in his company’s metaverse at some point, and they could every single be spending hundreds of dollars on digital goods and solutions. That fits with external estimates about the industry’s worth. Bloomberg Intelligence, for instance, predicts the chance could be worth $800 billion as quickly as 2024.
But setting that aside, the broad cuts to Meta’s expense structure point to a additional lucrative business all round in the coming quarters. Plus, its concentrate on AI on its current social media platforms could lift user engagement, which would in turn attract additional marketing dollars from organizations.
Meta stock has soared 132% from its 52-week low of $88.09. Even so, primarily based on its 2022 final results, it trades at a price tag-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 23.eight, which is a slight discount to the 25.1 P/E of the Nasdaq-one hundred technologies index.
Thanks to the company’s concentrate on efficiency, analysts have currently lifted their estimates for earnings per share for each 2023 and 2024, so its P/E appears even more affordable measured against the future. That paves the way for longer-term upside in Meta stock. By all accounts, it is not as well late for investors to obtain in.

This fonds illustrates the life and work of G. Gary Runka and his contributions to the province of British Columbia. Gary Runka was the first General Manager of British Columbia's Agricultural Land Commission and helped establish the provincial Agricultural Land Reserve. After transitioning from a government career to private consulting, Runka provided comprehensive professional services through his land consultancy business, G.G. Runka Land Sense Ltd., offering land capability and environmental assessments, integrated resource management, land and water use conflict resolution, and interdisciplinary land use planning. Described by colleagues as one of BC's most highly respected agrologists and influential land use planners, Runka had a 52-year career working on (or against) an incredible number of landmark projects in British Columbia, such as the Site C Project. Gary Runka’s partner in life and vocation, Joan M. Sawicki, worked with Gary on many of these projects—as well as her own; her contributions are also represented throughout the records of this fonds.
Gary Runka's deep connection to the land is evident from his earliest papers on aerial photo interpretation, his work with the Canada Land Inventory, through his speeches and his work establishing the BC Agricultural Land Reserve and in his subsequent consulting career through G.G. Runka Land Sense Ltd. Gary Runka's influence and legacy was recognized in the tributes paid after his death, including the post-humus award as the Real Estate Foundation's "Land Champion" for 2014.

World War II Polar Bear Training Exercise Photograph Collection
These photographs were taken by an unknown photographer from Department of National Deference Public Relations (Pacific Command) during the 1945 Polar Bear Exercise. This exercise was held in northern British Columbia in February and March 1945, using some 1,150 soldiers of the 6th Division. The intent of the exercise was to test the effects of "wet cold" conditions on military men and material. The scenario for the Polar Bear Exercise was that: "Action will be based on reports of a Japanese force having been landed at Bella Coola from submarines, having rendered useless RCAF installations at Bella Bella, and giving positive indication that this force is composed in great part of construction personnel with a comparatively small protective element; the assumption being that it will try to construct a useable road from Bella Coola to permit movement inland of a larger fighting force to follow at some later date". The exercise itself was conducted in three overlapping phases. Between 12 February and 5 March the force moved from Prince George to Anahim Lake, chiefly using an array of motor transport but with some pack horses. The second phase ran from 4 March to early April. This was a series of marches from Anahim Lake to Bella Coola and return; a secondary force of 19 men split off from the main body and, travelling by snowmobile and snowshoe, traversed the Rainbow Mountains to Bella Coola; on the return march this detachment was increased to 120 men and dubbed "Y" Force. The third phase was removal of all troops by vehicle from Anahim Lake to Williams Lake. These photographs are believed to document the return from Bella Coola.
