Decorating your tree with edible decorations is a genius idea. Delicious and pretty, the spirit of Christmas is in every bite!
Make up a batch of gingerbread dough with half the quantity of ingredients, then use this to create these wonderfully festive biscuits for hanging from the tree or to fix to the house. Or make Christmas trees that can be used to stand around your gingerbread house!
Young children enjoy using festive shaped pastry or cookie cutters to cut out shapes. When cooled they can be iced with any colours you wish.
Roll out the dough to about the thickness of two £1 coins. Stamp out cookies with a snowflake cutter, and arrange on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Bake for 8-10min. Cool, then decorate with small sweets, silver balls and edible glitter. Thread some ribbon or raffia around them for hanging on the tree.
Roll out the dough and use a Christmas tree cutter to stamp out shapes. Bake as above. Decorate with royal icing (as used for the house) and fix small sweets and silver balls onto the icing, with a star-shaped sweet at the top. Stand them up in blobs of white moulding paste or ready-to-roll icing. Scatter a little icing sugar on top to look like snow.

Sports teams that back LGBT players, rights get more support: study
Some professional athletes have always been open in supporting LGBT rights and players, with projects and groups like You Can Play and AthleteAlly, respectively.
So it’s good to hear that their supporters are also willing to back them up on this, according to one study.
Sports teams that are LGBT-supportive
The study, conducted by the Center for American Progress (CAP), noted that support for LGBT players and rights by professional sports franchises leads to more favorable feelings toward these teams.
The study discovered that 56 percent of respondents said they would have “a significantly or somewhat more positive opinion” of a professional sports team if it expressed support for LGBT athletes and fans.
What’s more, respondents also expressed a similar response for sports teams supporting laws that protect LGBT people.
LGBT advocacy not a burden for sports teams
The study also discovered that sports teams who have an advocacy for LGBT people don’t suffer for it with 36 percent of respondents stating that their opinion wouldn’t change at all if teams express support for LGBT fans and athletes.
Likewise, 35 percent also felt the same about sports teams that express support for LGBT-inclusive laws. In both instances, less than 8 percent answered that it would have a negative impact.
More importantly, when sports teams cite LGBT people in diversity statements, they don’t have any negative impact on their increased support but rather the opposite.
LGBT in sports and sports teams
Given the number of openly gay athletes and sports personalities like football player Michael Sam, NBA player Jason Collins, and NBA referee Bill Kennedy, the study shows how support for LGBT athletes and fans is becoming an important element for sports franchises to consider.
For example, the New York Giants recently became one of the first NFL teams to reach out to the LGBT community. Their activities range from the You Can Play Project to an event with LGBT youth at the Hetrick-Martin Institute (HMI).
“Sports should be an exciting, welcoming place, and this study shows that the public agrees,” said Dr. Laura Durso, Director of the LGBT Research and Communications Project at CAP.
“The strong support for teams embracing LGBT athletes, fans, and inclusive laws demonstrates the potential power of athletics to help build a more inclusive country,” Dr. Durso pointed out.
“As more teams take a leadership role in supporting LGBT people and the laws that protect them, this study suggests they will have the opportunity for growth in their fan base,” she added.
In other words, it’s good for sports teams to have the LGBT on their side in any game.

My Hero Academia Chapter 367 spoilers and leaks depict Deku falling into a frenzy after seeing what happened to Bakugo, and Izuku Midoriya eventually arriving on the scene in Chapter 366. The official publication of My Hero Academia Chapter 367 is still a few days away, but leaks and spoilers have already started spreading on Twitter, making the hashtag #mha367 popular. Chapter synopses and unaltered scans of the manga have been leaked.
As is the norm, spoilers for the latest chapter of this manga have leaked before its official release.
This article may contain spoilers for My Hero Academia Chapter 367
To quickly recap, the last chapter marked Deku’s return after an extended absence in the manga. While this was happening, the Pro Heroes were slowing the All-For-One-controlled Shigaraki, which appears to have led to Bakugo’s death. Through this chapter’s prologue, we learn in flashback how Deku arrived on the battlefield. After he arrived, he kicked AFO-Shigaraki quite hard. After apologising to the heroes, Deku turns around and sees Bakugo, who appears to be dead holding All Might’s card. It’s no surprise that this infuriates Deku, as similar situations have arisen in prior story cycles. Deku has always been concerned about Bakugo, and in recent arcs, Bakugo has demonstrated his own feelings for Deku. In addition to the emotional impact, the fact that Deku is unaware of the intention to resurrect Bakugo via Edgeshot heightens the gravity of the situation. Deku’s anger may seem like terrible news for AFO-Shigaraki, but he eventually shows that it really works perfectly into his scheme. But before Deku can direct his wrath against AFO-Shigaraki, Mirio emerges from the earth to reassure him.
The heroes will be OK, Mirio says, since Edgeshot is transplanting new organs into Bakugo.
Mirio keeps on affirming Deku while AFO-Shigaraki ignores it. Finally, Deku asks AFO-Shigaraki, “All for One, is Shigaraki still there?” after apologising to Mirio. In the final panel, we see Deku standing with the other people who use One For All behind him. Even though he’s still furious, it appears like he’s learning to control his emotions rather than letting them control him. The events of this chapter set the stage for what promises to be the series’ final showdown between Deku and AFO-Shigaraki in the following chapter.
My Hero Academia Chapter 367 spoilers and leaks should be taken with a grain of salt until the chapter has been officially announced. Chapter 367 of My Hero Academia was eagerly anticipated since it would reveal Deku’s thoughts on the dire situation facing the U.A. and the pro-heroes, notably Bakugo. While this chapter lives up to expectations, mangaka Horikoshi surprises by playing down the “feral Deku” theme. The focus of My Hero Academia chapter 367, on the other hand, is on Izuku’s maturation and the ways in which his outlook has changed since the last time he and Shigaraki crossed paths. It also shows how the hero has been shaped by his fellow OFA devotees and how he continues to look up to All Might.
The spoilers and raw scans for Chapter 367 of My Hero Academia reveal that Deku has learned to manage his anger and is determined to locate Shigaraki within AFO. Spoilers state that Deku faces off against AFO in chapter 367 of My Hero Academia. At the beginning of this chapter, we see Deku’s past encounter with the American planes above the ocean. The pilots told him that they had chosen to place their faith in All Might’s successor after learning of Star and Stripe’s decision to do so. They disregarded their instructions to watch over U.A. in order to offer Deku a ride, seeing as how they were already disobeying by remaining in Japan. Mirio is relieved to see Deku in the present, and he promptly uses another Smash to knock Shigaraki off the stage. Since their previous battle, the youngster has clearly improved in strength, and AFO/Shigaraki observes that he is modelling himself after the Third User of OFA. Deku, upon realising how everyone else is doing, begins to profusely apologise for his tardiness.
Seeing Katsuki dead and the All Might card next to it shocks him even more. Izuku looks at Tamaki, Nejire, and Mirko’s damaged corpses and feels an increasing sense of terror. If he’s late, Shigaraki/AFO pokes fun at him by wondering what reason he’d provide and if he’d blame Toga. Blackwhip winds itself around him like a whip, and, as predicted, he begins to lose control of his personality idiosyncrasies. In any case, Mirio manages to get a touch with him and reassure him that everything is OK and that Edgeshot is now fixing Bakugo’s body. While Shigaraki/AFO dismisses Mirio’s comments as mere platitudes, Deku recalls that All Might have always held that it is a hero’s responsibility to make hypocritical virtue a reality. He also recalls that Daigoro Banjo warned him to learn to master his emotions.
The protagonist with green hair regains composure and refocuses on the mission at hand, promising an apology after he has achieved victory. As OFA’s shadow fell upon him, Deku wrapped Blackwhip around his neck like a scarf and asked the villain whether or not Shigaraki was still inside.
In chapter 367 of My Hero Academia, Deku’s reaction to Katsuki’s position, although still very violent, is significantly more subdued. In addition to Mirio’s reassurances and the boy’s apparent growth in maturity, Horikoshi’s tempo is also a major factor. The entire sequence of Deku recognising the situation, digesting it, and reacting takes place within three pages of the manga. Some could counter that rather than internalising the fact, Deku has just put it in a separate box for the time being. This is evidence of his maturation since his brief stint as a vigilante, and it also reveals the impact the OFA Users have had on him. Instead of letting his sadness for his lost friends and mentors get in the way of his work, as was the case during the PLF conflict, he is now able to focus on his responsibilities.
It’s also worth noting that in My Hero Academia Chapter 367, when the remnants materialise behind Deku, Yoichi isn’t one among them. In spite of some haziness brought on by the raw scans, neither the First User nor All Might can be seen lurking behind Izuku on the last page. Yoichi probably doesn’t want to confront his brother while he’s still in the body of someone Yoichi still associates with their childhood, even if Toshinori is still alive. While we’re on the subject of young people, notice how Deku’s attention is drawn to the All Might card next to Katsuki. If anything, this will just deepen his sense of loss and the nagging guilt he feels as a result of his saviour complex. Further evidence of this is seen in chapter 367 of My Hero Academia, when he inquires of Shigaraki/AFO regarding Tomura, presumably still hoping to save the little kid he saw during the PLF fight.

SAT Increases Deemed Profit Rates for Non-Resident Enterprises
Mar. 5 – The State Administration of Taxation has increased the corporate income tax deemed profits rates for non-resident enterprises carrying out services or projects in China.
Under Guoshuifa  No. 19, issued on February 20, unless a resident enterprise is able to provide accurate accounting records, CIT liability for services or projects carried out in China will be determined using the following methods of calculating deemed profits: revenue, costs and operating expenses.
Under these methods, the profits rates are as follows: for businesses performing engineering work or the provision of design and consulting services the deemed profit rate shall be 15 percent to 30 percent; for the provision of management services, the deemed profit shall be 30 percent to 50 percent; and for the provision of other services or business activities other than services, the deemed profit rate shall be greater than or equal to 15 percent.
If it is determined by the tax authorities that the actual profit rates of non-resident enterprises are obviously higher than the above, they may assess the taxable income through a higher deemed profit rate.

Module 6 – Product Owner Specifics
This module takes the learner through a more detailed look at the Product Owner role and covers some of the key areas and tasks that a Product Owner does. This module is made up of videos, followed by a quiz to help support your understanding.
- Release Management
- Product Backlog Management
- Evidence Based Management
- Product Value
- Product Vision
- As a product owner, you'll need to stay on top of when your product increment is ready, and when you're ready to release it. Getting the product prepared to go to market is what release management is all about. Release management is all about launching a product. Product should not be released on a whim. Good planning and management is required for a successful product launch. Release management covers, marketing, resource provisioning, launch activities, and financing. Great question. As I scrum our day of team figures at their velocity and their product backlog is filled, planning and product release becomes easier. Release can be aligned with sprints, this process is known as sprint mapping. Product backlog items or PBI's are matched with the day of team's sprint velocity. In order to do this, the product backlog must be filled ahead of time, usually three or four sprints ahead. Sprint mapping enables release management, and gives visibility to stakeholders of when items are expected to be released. Remember, the sprint mapping is a forecast; it's not a guarantee. There are a number of things that may affect a product before it's released. For example, what are the product's minimum releasable features, or MRF's. These MRF's have to be truly minimal. What features must the product have? Working to the MRF's helps speed up product development and nice-to-haves can be added in later increments. Product owners cannot allow everything to meet the release. What is the technical capability of the development team? If there are gaps in knowledge, can this be filled easily? What performance metrics can be checked? Does the development team have a consistent velocity rate? Or does it fluctuate? This alongside the backlogs and capacity of the team can help with forecasting the product. There are also more standard factors that are often considered as constraints. Budget, time and scope. This trio of constraints are often flexible or fixed. And these factors often determine the quality of a product. The table shows how these variables may impact a product. Having a fixed project scope, but a flexible budget and time to release means that the product must meet a fixed quality. Whereas having fixed scope, time and budget, means that whilst you may have a particular scope or product, the time and budget may exceed or not meet the criteria of the scope, meaning the product quality will be variable. Well, you can manage this with sprint mapping. Let's walk through an example. Let's imagine you're planning on releasing a mobile app in eight weeks time, and your srum team works in two week sprints. Start out with your ordered backlog. At the top of the backlog, you'll have your MRF all the way down to the might haves. A helpful method of ordering is using the MoSCoW Method. Must haves, what the product absolutely must have. Should haves, what it should have to make it, or the things that will probably make it to release. Could haves, the nice-to-haves. And won't haves, these are the whish list items that are likely to not make the product. When the items have been estimated and how much effort it will take to make, using user story points for example, calculate the day of team's average velocity, Using their ordered backlog of items, then draw lines after each increment of average velocity. Because you've already ordered the backlog in MoSCoW, you will then be able to calculate what features the product will have, by the time it's released. Here the product has all of the must haves, and should haves, and some of the could haves. This also works if you're working to a fixed number of user story points. The same process applies, but you set it against the number of story points instead of a particular date.

Raphael, the first book in The Immortal Youth series—a YA spin-off from The Immortals—is finally out. The first reviews from my ARC’s readers are so far positive, and I’m glad that people seem to connect with Raphael: a young werewolf deeply damaged in the soul and yet inherently good. Writing a story that treated a topic like abuse both physical and psychological wasn’t easy. In fact, it took me sixty days longer than I had planned, but I’m happy with how the book turned out.
Raphael has nowhere to go, nobody who loves him, and his past has scarred him deeply. A young werewolf on the run, living rough in the catacombs beneath Rome and with nothing else to call his own but his freedom, he desperately tries to elude the Controller whose goal is to send him back to Renegade Youth Shelter and a life of torments.
As he lives day by day with the constant threat of being captured, his future looks dark and lonely.
That is until a chance meeting with Luisa; a werewolf like him whose scent marks her as his one true soul-mate. Much to his despair, their encounter is cut short as he flees from the enforcer chasing after him.
His heart broken and his wolf bereft, Raphael will sacrifice everything to be reunited with Luisa. Even his freedom when he discovers she’s been abducted by a street gang. But, will it be enough?

Now the law is especially focusing on those who use strangulation to any degree. I would have that the assault laws would already cover it, but they are being specific.
Why, I have to wonder? What has changed?
Well one thing that has changed is that a lot of women enjoy erotic strangulation (breathplay). This puts men in an interesting situation where they can be arrested for doing ... precisely what their partner demands they do!
Unfortunately, Domestic Violence organisations are largely run by and for feminists. Have a look at each story on this web page, notice the pattern?
Males are the enemy.
Females are the victim.
There are no gays or lesbians - despite lesbian DV being the highest and gay DV being the lowest.
"The Western Australian Council for Domestic and Family Violence Services, the peak body representing women's refuges in WA"
Women's refuges. Not men's. A body to cover ALL domestic violence victims only cares about female victims of men. There are no refuges for men. There is certainly no acknowledgement that strangulation can be consensual.
- Women's Crisis Line: 1800 811 811
- Men's Referral Service: 1300 766 491
Wah wah!! It's " for men who are wanting to stop their violent or abusive behaviour towards their family members"
4 Sep 2018 13:38:38 UTC)
I have to wonder if that means a man can be charged over the wishes of his wife? The poor dear must have internalised misogyny - she can't possibly enjoy such things - she really needs to turn to the light and embrace OUR faith ...
Also - what about auto-erotic asphyxiation? Will men be arrested for masturbation? But that would mean men could be domestic violence victims ... of themselves!
Male victimiser = true but male victim = impossible! (Feminist head explodes)
Note: I am not advocating breathplay. My personal opinion is that it is just too dangerous. But to refuse to even acknowledge women could desire it, and to make up a law that would prosecute any male that agrees to it - that seems to be corruption at work.
We do not criminalise dangerous practices or we would outlaw mountain climbing and diving the oceans. We let adults make choices.
"The Personal is Political" is a Feminist slogan. So too is "Get the Hell out of our Bedrooms". I just wish they would make up their minds.

ROCKVILLE, Md. (DTN) — When Chase Brown started selling cover crop seed eight years ago, he saw it as a small side-gig to supplement his farming operation near Decatur, Illinois.
Now, like many farmers, he’s happy to discover it is a growing industry worth investing in.
“I started selling cover crops in 2012 for extra vacation and beer money,” he admitted. “But it has blown into a substantial business. It has gone from guys throwing some cover seed out each year, mostly for government programs, to really thinking about it and planning. They’ve seen the benefits and attitudes are changing.”
This year, cover crop seed demand for Brown Seed Sales was off the charts. “This year, a switch just flipped,” he said. A lot of factors might be at play: The stagnant spring and early summer commodity prices pushed growers to trim chemical costs, an August derecho flattened some Corn Belt fields, and in the midst of a growing herbicide-resistant weed epidemic, dicamba herbicides were abruptly pulled off the market in June.

This is an injection-plastic aircraft model kit.
Adapted from Tamiya:
This precision model aircraft assembly kit depicts the Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-6 variant. It compliments Tamiya's other variants such as the E-3 and E-4/7 Trop.
The Bf 109 is a legendary name in aviation, an aircraft which combined longevity and versatility in the hands of the Luftwaffe and other air forces. The G-6 was the most prolifically produced Bf 109, accounting for more than a third of the total. Introduced in early 1943, it could be fitted with underwing 20mm cannons in pods, or synchronized 13mm machine guns in distinctive bulges ahead of the cockpit, and was powered by the Daimler-Benz DB605A liquid-cooled V12, which gave a top airspeed of 640km/h.


Full deployment for the fire brigade
Winkhaus blueSmart secures buildings of the Upper Austrian State Fire Brigade Association
When firefighters grab their tools, the materials and equipment must be able to withstand this. Because there is no time for gentle handling in an emergency. This is one of the reasons why the Upper Austrian State Fire Brigade Association in Linz decided for a second time on a Winkhaus locking system in the building complex of the Regional Fire Brigade and the Regional Fire Brigade School.
The first system was installed in 2012. Even back then, the Winkhaus technology impressed with its robust and reliable operational readiness. Because the system delivered what it promised, more and more buildings on the site were converted from mechanics to electronics in the following years. The second generation of electronic locking technology was introduced in 2019 with blueSmart. Since then, both systems have been running in parallel.
Heavy duty operation
The complex, which houses the umbrella organisation of all fire brigades in Upper Austria and the Regional Fire Brigade School, is around 20,000 square metres in size. In addition to large numbers of pupils, who also stay as overnight guests, more than one hundred employees enter and leave the complex. "It’s as busy as a medium-sized hotel here", reports Karl Altmann, head of the architectural hardware department at the fitting retailer Schachermayer, who supplied the system and helped with the installation. High flexibility, quick programming of identification media and the option of disabling them immediately if a key is lost are therefore basic requirements for a locking system here. "And since the colleagues at the fire brigade train in uniform, a robust key was required, which can also be operated in protective clothing," explains Altmann. Winkhaus blueSmart offers these advantages, "conventional card systems would have quickly reached their limits here."
Key with waterproof housing
Around six hundred electronic keys are in use in total and lie comfortably in the hand. The keys allow users to continue their usual closing performance: The stable identification medium is inserted easily into the electronic cylinder and rotated – the latch is then retracted. What is more, the maintenance-free, handy blueSmart keys are resistant to hand disinfectants and can even withstand being washed in the washing machine thanks to their waterproof housing (IP 68).
Programming of the keys is simple and, like the administration of the entire locking system, can be carried out professionally by the company’s own IT division using the Winkhaus blueControl software. Student keys are granted access to a limited number of rooms – such as their guest room and teaching rooms. And if a key is lost, it can be deactivated on the PC with just a few clicks.
Disabling a key takes effect quickly because the blueSmart network works virtually. The offline, cable-free system consists of built-in electronic components which communicate with one another. Unlike conventional online access control systems, there is no need for extensive cabling for the electronic locking cylinders on the doors, or a large number of converters or interference-prone radio links. With blueSmart, locking systems with up to 196,000 components can be implemented in this way. The system is installed quickly and easily as, with this virtual network, only the upload readers, which automate and distribute the information and commands for the user in the background in the virtual network, are conventionally wired.
Keys play a key role
The blueSmart electronic keys play a key role in the literal sense. They are also responsible for transferring information quickly and wirelessly between the electronic components of the system. Every key has an RFID chip inside, which stores user rights and transports commands in the virtual network as well as data read from door components.
If someone then tries to obtain an access authorisation using a blocked key via the upload reader mounted on the outside, they will be identified as unauthorised by the reader. It is then no longer possible to upload access rights.
Fast conversion during operation
In addition to keys, the buildings are secured by over four hundred electronic cylinders, sixty smart door fittings and nine readers. The conversion to electronics was carried out quickly during operation, as only the upload readers had to be wired. The electronic blueSmart door cylinders have the same dimensions as mechanical cylinders, are flush-mounted and do not need to be wired, so there is no need for complex door conversions during installation.
A long battery service life guarantees reliable operation of electronic components on a continuous basis. This means maintenance requirements are very low. “We are notified by the system when a battery change is required,” says Benjamin Söllinger, who is in charge of building services and manages the locking system, describing one of the many convenient features of the technology.
The cylinder events log is also considerably larger than in previous systems. In the event of theft, for example, the last 2,000 locking events can be displayed with the date and time if events logging is enabled in the door component.
With its wide range of functions, Winkhaus blueSmart reliably secures the buildings as well as the technology stored in them and also supports the work of the firefighters. Full deployment for those who fight to save others!

George Clooney Considers Amal Alamuddin As A Source Of Joy In His Life; 'I've Never Been Happier'
George Clooney gushed about her wife, human rights lawyer, Amal Alamuddin in a recent interview and told the world how much joy she brought in his life.
"I've never been happier. Both professionally and personally. From the first day I met Amal, I began preparing for the most important phase in my life. For me there is no greater joy in the world than the idea that we're going to stay together. Never did I ever dream that I would have such a beautiful, successful and fulfilling life and also be able to find a woman as wonderful as Amal," he told UK's Ok! Magazine as mentioned by Design and Trend.
Then and again, the Hail Caesar! actor reiterated that the 38-year old lawyer's intelligence made him adore her more.
"She's much smarter than me. The only thing I might be better than Amal at is arm wrestling. But it's always good to surround yourself with intelligent people, which in my case is not particularly difficult. But smart women have never worried me," he told the magazine.
Since the first three months of being a couple, rumors have already haunted their marriage. The most recent claiming that the UK-raised lawyer dislikes the actor's close friends and business associate, Randy Gerber and wife, Cindy Crawford, Korea Portal said.
"The insider revealed that Amal thinks Rande is just an older version of a frat boy and is a bad influence on George," a source said.
The A-list celebrity, however, does not want to lose his friends and thus had fired back at Amal and had ended up threatening her with a divorce.
The Clooneys are also subject to pregnancy rumors with source speculating whether the human rights lawyer will have the chance to bear kids or not.
However, during his media interaction at the Good Money Gala in Amsterdam, the 54-year old actor slammed the rumors, in his usual joking manner.
"No. But I like that you started that rumor," he said as mentioned in IB Times.
Meanwhile, in last week's interview at the Ellen Degeneres Show, George Clooney shared how his wedding proposal to Amal Alamuddin went 'horribly wrong' but luckily, she said yes in the end.

To date, the economic damage wrought by the pandemic has been mostly hidden by massive government subsidy. That’s about to change. And so the next few months will reveal the underlying economic impact of COVID-19 across the globe more clearly. My bet: As governments withdraw fiscal support, the economic picture is going to look worse than commonly appreciated.
Getting a sense of what’s about to happen requires that we first be clear about how and why the pandemic has affected the economy: Is it because governments have required people to stay home, or is it because of the virus itself? New research shows that economic losses have come mainly from fear, not government mandate. So eliminating the mandates without ending the fear does very little.
One analysis, by Austan Goolsbee and Chad Syverson of the University of Chicago, is based on cell phone records of customer visits to more than 2 million businesses. The researchers dug into the details to assess how lockdown rules affected activity — for example, by looking across counties in a single commuting area with varying rules. They found that consumer traffic declined by 60 percentage points from the beginning of March to mid-April, and that government lockdown mandates caused only about 7 percentage points of that drop. The key driver, they conclude, was fear. One factor consistent with this hypothesis is that the decline in the number of customer visits is highly correlated with the number of COVID-19 deaths in the local area.

Truth and Reconciliation
Respond to the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, articles of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People, and other key documents such as the reports on the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, and In Plain Sight.
Justice - Equity, Diversity, Inclusion
Justice - Equity, diversity and inclusion is a priority that needs greater emphasis and support for people of colour, LBGTQIA2S+ and people with disabilities. Students continue to express concerns over bullying, racism, transphobia, homophobia, lack of accessibility and accommodations, and a lack of belonging. Education is the way forward to create and foster a just and fair society.
We must lead and champion climate action. A starting point would be to adopt, align and act on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Arts, Culture, and Sports
Years of low priority, poor support and inadequate funding have led to the decline of arts, culture, and sports within our schools. For many, a chance to participate in the visual and performing arts, and athletics has diminished. Now is the time to reinvest in these essential areas of K-12 and post-secondary schooling.
Mental Health and Well-Being
The pandemic shone a light on the importance of attending to mental health and well-being. In spite of the challenges experienced over the past several years, students and staff have shown amazing resilience. Moving forward, we must encourage and support greater awareness and access to health and wellness programs for all students and staff.
With predictions of over a million workers being needed in BC over the next ten years, investment in trades training is essential. The demand for more infrastructure such as housing, schools, hospitals and other capital projects will require a huge influx of skilled workers.

Ridgeway Court – details from the recording of the historic building
This fine house dates back to around 1600, although it was remodelled in the 19th century and divided in the 20th century. It is constructed of timber on sandstone. In the 19th century it changed its outlook by turning away from the farm, and by assuming a new frontage which was executed in brick to hide the older timber structure, which in the 19th century was regarded as too old-fashioned and unrefined for the tastes of the time.
The following text is abridged from “Memories of Wychbold before the Motorway”, and is reproduced with the permission of Robin Skerratt.
The front of the farmhouse appears to be Georgian, but the oldest part faces the Salwarpe. This is Elizabethan, or maybe earlier, with walls of large sandstone blocks and mullion windows.
Under the cellar floor a most unusual system of drainage was recently discovered. Experts believe this to be possibly Roman.
In the attic great timbers support and divide the roof space into various sections or rooms, some having wattle or boarded walls, with half doors, or no door fitted. These areas were used for storage – everything smelled old. There was a ladder fixed to overhead timbers which gave access to a trap door in the roof enabling us to climb into a valley roof section between two pitched roofs.
At the front of the house there used to be a large lawn….. Flower beds were around the borders and staddle stones at the edge of the lawn near the house. An impressive monkey puzzle tree used to stand taller than the house to the left of the front door.
The other end of the house wall, near the lane, used to be the back of the wood and tool store. Two recent additions can be seen, the oak framed arched windows still fitted with some original glass. These were rescued from Rashwood School at the time of its demolition. (The school stood where the Little Chef on the A38 is now).
The back of the farmhouse can be seen from the lane entrance. Facing the lane are the ends of two pitched roofs. There, between the house and the dairy, was an uncovered walkway which led down steps to the pigsties, vegetable garden and orchard, and a brick built closet with three hole sizes to suit two adults and a child, each having its own wooden lid. The other pitched roof covered the dairy. This had been the original kitchen for the farmhouse. It had a red brick floor and a massive open fireplace and chimney at the far end where you could stand inside and look up to see the sky. There was a large bread oven at the side of the fireplace. Behind the dairy, at the top of the steps, was a large boiler for boiling pig food, and nearby were two holes close to the ground filled with generations of domestic rubbish. I understand these have recently been emptied to reveal quite deep brick lined bowl shaped cavities which are thought to have been old brine pits.
In the yard in front of the dairy was a deep well with a hand pump at the surface. This was in use until 1947 when mains electricity arrived and an automatic electric pump was installed. This also marked the end of lanterns and paraffin lamps which had previously been used in the house and in the farm buildings.
The building alongside the lane to the right of the entrance was a granary with a flight of worn shallow wooden steps leading up to it, and a garage and stable below. About 1910 this end of the floor was raised one – two feet and constructed of wood laths for the laying and drying of hops.
From the entrance to the farmhouse we look left at the building alongside the lane. The first section to the arch used to be entirely of brick. Near to the arch in the roof a timber A frame had its tie beam carved with the builder’s initials T.R. and R.S. dated 1742.
Behind this section of the barn in the yard was a Jinny Ring where Nancy the shire horse plodded round in a circle. She pulled a horizontal wooden beam radially attached to a vertical drive shaft, this transmitted some genuine horse power which was directed below ground into the barn and used to drive a root crop pulper for making animal feed.
Beyond the brick section, the barn continued as a timber framed building clad with thick elm weather boarding. This section included two sets of huge double doors high enough to allow fully laden harvest wagons to enter from the lane. The cottage at the far end was of brick and constructed within the end bay of the barn.
To the right of the rickyard entrance, alongside the lane was a cart shed. This had a tiled pitched roof with a wall at each end and brick column supports at the front and the back, which carts and farm implements could be driven through and parked.
To the left of the rickyard entrance alongside the lane, was a storage shed comprising a curved corrugated iron roof supported on staddle stones. Inside were more implements including an old horse-drawn milk float with a coach lamp bracket at each side.

Editors Roundtable: A library at the former O.T. Johnson site?
Would you like to see the new library located at the O.T. Johnson site?
O.T. site makes sense for downtown
The search for a new library site has gone on now for more than two years. The O.T. Johnson property, now owned by city, was considered some time ago but was deemed not large enough for the project.
I want the library downtown. I think it needs to be part of the downtown revitalization plan. Galesburg’s downtown is still alive and needs to be the focus of the community. I’d like downtown to be a place you go and park and make several stops on foot. Obviously, the retail needs to be built back up, but to me the library makes sense on Main Street. I hear a lot about downtown parking problems, but I’ve never had to walk more than block or two, including visits to the current library.
The library is a great asset for Galesburg and draws much traffic. The library would be good for Main Street and downtown, so I guess the question is whether it’s large enough for the facility. Again, I’m not sure why it is back on the radar after being deemed too small. Tom Martin, editor
Main Street presence important
The vacant former O.T. Johnson property would be a great spot for a new public library. A Main Street presence for an institution as important as a library would be a home run not only for library patrons, but also the downtown and community as a whole.
But you have to wonder if the cart is ahead of the horse on this one? Has the library board formerly informed the city it is interested in the prime piece of real estate? It would seem a waste of time and effort to explore the site without first knowing if property acquisition is feasible.
There’s also the issue of additional land acquisition for adjacent properties to expand the size of the site, which most likely would be very costly.
Of course the O.T. Johnson tract isn’t the only downtown candidate site. Remember, the city will have to acquire parcels for the East Main Street underpass, where the library could acquire remaining parcels to create a large development tract.
There’s also the old Super 8 hotel property on West Main, just east of Academy Street. While that site alone wouldn’t be large enough for the library, there are certainly some other marginal — and possible city demo — sites adjacent to it that could become available. Plus, it would be an attractive entrance element for the west side of downtown. Jay Redfern, assistant editor
Great, but don’t cut corners
A library on Main Street? Filling a vacant property downtown? Repurposing for public use a site of which many local residents have fond memories? Sounds swell to me. The location and the history of the O.T. Johnson site make it the obvious choice for a new public library, should the architect deem the space large enough to accommodate the needs of the staff and patrons.
I can understand why some taxpayers bristle at the thought of building a new facility, with so many empty buildings already in need of attention. But realistically, this is not a situation where we should be cutting corners — just look at the current library as proof. Though well-maintained, the current library is a far cry from the elegant, three-story one that went up in smoke in 1958. And less than 50 years after it was built, it needs to be replaced.
Let us hope history does not repeat itself with fire or poor planning for Galesburg’s next public library. The library board needs to make prudent decisions, of course, and the mere mention of the $15 million price tag makes me feel faint, but this needs to be done well. Jane Carlson, features editor
Local news editor Rob Buck is on vacation. He will return to the roundtable next week.

Sirs, we need outlaw control, and start with life sentences for crimes with guns or knives. No exceptions. Gun laws don’t work; the FOID card proves, too, that only the honest have them.
It’s past time to go after the lawbreakers. Leave us honest gun owners alone.
P.S. — The gangs never show up and disrupt youth shoots. Why do you think that is? They don’t like a fair game?

A. Observational case series
A clinical summary of the 6 cases observed at our clinics is shown in Table 1. One patient was male, and the other 5 were female. The average age was 73.5 (range: 65-80) years. Every patient had unilateral endophthalmitis (3 left eyes and 3 right eyes). Four patients had DM. Three patients reported visual disturbance as the initial symptom, while the other three initially reported systemic symptoms, such as fatigue, anorexia and algor. The specialties of the initially consulted doctors were as follows: ophthalmologist (3 cases), physician (2 cases), and surgeon (1 case). The diagnosis of EBE caused by GBS was based on positive findings from blood culture testing in 5 of 6 cases. Culture testing of ocular samples was also performed in 3 of these 5 cases, with positive findings in 2 cases. One of 6 cases (case 4) had negative findings in blood culture testing, but had positive findings in ocular sample culture testing, leading us to diagnose EBE caused by GBS. The focus of the infection in the cases was as follows: urinary tract infection (UTI) (3 cases); cellulitis (2 cases); arthritis (1 case); peritonitis (1 case); catheter-associated infection (1 case); and endocarditis (1 case). UTI and cellulitis co-occurred in 2 cases, and arthritis additionally co-occurred in one of these 2 cases. Susceptibility testing used blood samples in all cases except for case 4, for which ocular samples were used (both aqueous and vitreous samples in this case returned the same result). Susceptibility testing revealed that all the strains of GBS in these patients were sensitive to β-lactam antibiotics (penicillins, cephems and carbapenems) and vancomycin. Each strain had varying susceptibility to other antibiotics, such as macrolides (erythromycin and clarithromycin), tetracyclines (minocycline), fluoroquinolone (levofloxacin) and aminoglycoside (arbekacin), although some data were unavailable, as shown in Table 2. Among them, 4 strains were resistant to levofloxacin (no data for 1 isolate). Vitrectomy was performed in 4 cases, including the intravitreal injection of antibiotics. In case 2, vitrectomy could not be performed due to a poor systemic condition. In case 3, the patient’s condition improved with only systemic antibacterial therapy. Visual acuity recovered in 4 cases. In the other cases (cases 4 and 6), visual acuity did not recover even after vitrectomy.
B. Literature review
We reviewed 41 cases of EBE caused by GBS, including the 6 cases observed at our clinics. Twenty-two cases were from East Asia (16 cases from Japan, 5 cases from Singapore and 1 case from South Korea). The other 19 cases were from Western countries (11 cases from the United States, 5 cases from the United Kingdom, 2 cases from Canada and 1 case from Spain). The 41 cases included 21 men, 18 women and 2 cases with unstated sex. The average age was 65.5 years (SD: 12.7; range: 42–95 years). In 29 patients (71%), EBE was unilateral: 16 cases (55%) in the right eye, 11 (38%) cases in the left eye, and unstated in 2 (7%) cases. Twelve patients (29%) had bilateral EBE. Visual acuity (initial and final) in the 43 eyes of 34 patients for whom these data were available is shown in Figure 1. Of these 43 eyes, 24 eyes of 19 patients were from East Asia and 19 eyes of 14 patients were from Western countries. Twenty-six eyes (60%) finally lost all vision or died (i.e., no light perception [NLP], phthisis bulbi, evisceration, enucleation or death). Seven eyes (16%) achieved final visual acuities greater than 0.6 in decimal values. There was no significant difference in the visual acuity outcome between the cases from East Asia and Western countries. The group of subjects with a final outcome of loss of vision or death (including NLP, phthisis bulbi, evisceration, enucleation and death) had a significantly greater incidence of initial visual acuity of less than counting fingers (CF) (Table 3). Among the 15 cases that underwent vitrectomy, 10 cases had an initial visual acuity of less than CF. However, 7 of these 10 cases lost vision even after vitrectomy. This rate of vision loss was not significantly different than in the cases with initial visual acuity of less than CF that did not undergo vitrectomy (17/22 cases; 77%). Moreover, a patient age ≥ 80 years at presentation was not associated with a final loss of vision (Table 3). Of 41 patients, 13 (32%) had DM as an underlying medical condition. The second most common condition was human immunodeficiency virus infection (3 cases, 7%). Extraocular infection foci are shown in Table 4. The most common focuses were as follows: endocarditis (15, 37%); arthritis (13, 32%); cellulitis (8, 20%); UTI (6, 15%); pneumonia (4, 10%); and meningitis (3, 7%). These showed no significant differences in the cases from East Asia and Western countries. Of 41 patients, 17 (41%) had infection foci in more than 3 organs (multiple infections in a single type of organ, such as joints or soft tissue, were counted as single foci).

Ron Paul is in – almost.
The Texas Republican congressman and libertarian icon formally announced Tuesday that he was forming an presidential exploratory committee, matching the moves of more mainstream GOP hopefuls such as former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty.
And in what was meant as a show of seriousness, the Texas physician made his announcement in Des Moines, Iowa, where the first votes will be cast for the GOP nomination. He also introduced an Iowa leadership team, including three elected members of the state Republican Party’s central committee.
In his 2008 run, Rep. Paul showed he had staying power, and a base of support drawn from the libertarian ranks of the GOP. But he was never able to convince Republican officials he was anything other than a fringe candidate…

We received an urgent call from Seongju County, North Gyeongsang Province. A supporter reported finding three stray dogs wandering the street. He described the matter as urgent as one of them, a brown Chihuahua, had one severely damaged leg. The other two dogs were barking as if they were asking for help for their friend. The Chihuahua’s flesh was stripped away on the rear right leg and the bones were exposed.
It seems one of the legs was damaged when caught in a trap.
The Chihuahua had bled a lot. If he wasn’t rescued soon, he might die from loss of blood or infection. Our rescue team couldn’t delay and set off to rescue them. However, it was more than 280 kilometers from Seoul to Northern Gyeongsang and would take more than 4 hours to get there. The CARE member contacted a local shelter to capture the Chihuahua and take it to a vet while the rescue team was on its way.
The Chihuahua was not easy to capture because he was extremely cautious around people. However, the local shelter managed to lure him into a transportation cage with food. The dog was moaning in pain. The other dogs must have not eaten for quite a while and were rescued easily when they smelled the food.
The vet decided that the Chihuahua needed to be operated on and have its leg amputated if he was going to survive. The cause of the injury was identified as some kind of trap. The surgery was underway when the CARE rescue team arrived. The other two dogs sat and quietly waited for the surgery to be over.
We named the brown Chihuahua “Goonsam”, the black mixed breed “Sung-il”, and the brown mixed breed “Joo-e.” They will not need to live on the street anymore. They will no longer need to scavenge for food nor endure rain and snow.
We moved Goonsam, Sung-il, and Joo-e together to an affiliated veterinarian in Seoul for further examination and treatment. They all had heartworms, but Goonsam was diagnosed as being in the late stage of heartworms. If the special care was not taken, he would develop symptoms of pneumonia.
We are now taking care of Goonsam, Sung-il, and Joo-e, and will start looking for loving forever homes as soon as they are fully recovered.

You work here so you know. The County of San Diego is always looking for new and better ways to improve customer service and operations. And that includes building new facilities that are technologically up to date, energy-efficient and better designed to help us help those who need our services.
This last year alone, General Services delivered on several huge projects: A new Investigations, Crime Lab and Evidence building in Kearny Mesa, the North Coastal Live Well Health Center in Oceanside, and a trifecta – a new library, park and Sheriff’s office on a 19-acre property in Borrego Springs. A new Probation Training Center opened its doors in Scripps Ranch and a new fire station in Pine Valley celebrated its grand opening Dec. 18.
So, what’s next for 2019? Take a look below:
Assessor/Recorder/County Clerk East County Operations and Archive: Construction is underway on a new 23,900-square-foot facility in Santee. The current El Cajon facility is located inside a converted bank that was built in 1957. The new structure will include modern archival storage of historical documents. Completion is scheduled for the fall.
Santa Ysabel Nature Center: The Parks Department has begun construction on a 6,000-square-foot nature center that will include interpretive and educational exhibits, a conference room for up to 100 people, an outdoor patio, an information area, restrooms and staff offices. The center will be located next to Highways 78 and 79 in Santa Ysabel. Construction will be completed in the fall.
Sheriff’s Technology and Information Center (STIC): Construction is underway on a new project that will house the Sheriff’s Data Services and Wireless Services Divisions. This project replaces the last two remaining buildings of the original 1960s County Operations Center campus. The new center, next to the Emergency Operations Center, will include a 40,000-square-foot administration building, a 7,000-square-foot technology building and a new radio tower to replace the existing one. The larger facility will include a 2,000-square-foot media center that can be used for news conferences during regional disasters. The project is scheduled for completion in fall 2020.
Lakeside Library: The County has purchased a site for a new approximately 17,000-square-foot library which will triple the size of the current branch built in 1962. The new zero-net-energy facility will include children and teen spaces, plus a community room. Procurement of a design-build contract is underway, with completion expected in 2021.
Southeastern Live Well Center: Procurement is also underway for a design-build contract for a new Live Well Center. The facility will consolidate the existing Southeast Family Resource Center, Public Health and Mental Health Services in one location. The center will also house Probation staff and offer meeting spaces to community groups. Completion is anticipated in fall 2021.
Cedar/Kettner Development Property: Negotiations began on developing the vacant land adjoining the Cedar/Kettner parking structure for a private residential and commercial project with 57 affordable housing units. Construction could start in late 2019/early 2020.
Ohio Street Probation Office: Design-build procurement is underway for a new facility to replace the old Ohio Street office. The new building will be designed to provide rehabilitation and treatment support services. Completion is expected in late summer 2021.
Emergency Vehicle Operations Course: The project is in the design stage and a general contractor will be hired in early 2019. Construction will begin after the property closes escrow in 2019. Completion is anticipated in 2020.
Palomar Mountain Fire Station Living Quarters: Design is also underway for new living quarters behind the existing fire house. It will provide approximately 1,900-square-feet of living space for six personnel. The project includes renovating an office in the fire house and other site improvements. Completion is expected in 2020.
Major Renovations and Remodeling
San Diego Juvenile Justice Campus: The Kearny Mesa site will be renovated and redeveloped to include an urban camp setting, new community supervision services, housing and support facilities. The first of three phases could be completed in late 2021.
County Administration Center: Procurement of the design and construction team for the major systems upgrade will be completed in early 2019. The mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire/life safety systems are approaching the end of their useful life and will be replaced in phases.
Bonita-Sunnyside Branch Library Expansion: Design-build procurement will complete in early 2019 for the expansion of the Bonita-Sunnyside Branch Library. Plans include a new children’s area, an expanded area for teens and various interior improvements. Completion is anticipated in fall 2020.
Casa de Oro Library: A search is underway for a site to build a new approximately 15,000-square-foot library to replace the current branch located in a strip mall. The new facility will include for the first time a community room as well as specific areas for teens and children.
Health Services Complex Replacement: Planning is underway to redevelop the Health Services Complex in the Midway District into a County Live Well Campus. The project would replace the Rosecrans facility, consolidate associated HHSA functions in the new building and provide a parking structure. The site will also be evaluated for the addition of affordable housing.

Baba Amte a saint: Maharashtra governor
Maharashtra Governor SM Krishna on Saturday condoled the death of eminent social worker Baba Amte, describing him as a "saint" and social reformer who restored dignity and self-respect to leprosy victims.
In a message to his son Vikas Amte, the governor said that Baba Amte belonged to the shining traditions of Vidarbha's social reformers and saints that included Rashtra Sant Tukdoji Maharaj and Sant Gadge Baba among others.
Baba Amte dedicated his entire life to the cause of restoring dignity to leprosy victims and enabled them to earn their own livelihood.
"Through his 'Bharat Jodo Abhiyan', Baba Amte aroused the consciousness of people to work for the unity of the nation. Carrying forward his mission to serve people would be a real tribute to Baba Amte," Krishna said in a statement here.
Baba Amte's nationwide campaign from December 1985 to April 1986 aimed at promoting peace and uniting people across the country.
Baba Amte died Saturday at his Anandvan ashram in Mumbai. The 94-year-old had been suffering from blood cancer since the last six months and was being kept on life support system.

David James Poissant con The Heaven of AnimalsIn each of the stories in this remarkable debut, award-winning writer David James Poissant explores the tenuous bonds of familyfathers and sons, husbands and wivesas they are tested by the sometimes brutal power of love.
His strikingly true-to-life characters have reached a precipice, chased there by troubles of their own making. Standing at the brink, each must make a choice: Leap, or look away? Pulitzer Prize finalist Lee Martin writes that Poissant forces us to face the people we are when we’re alone in the dark.
From two friends racing to save the life of an alligator in Lizard Man to a girl helping her boyfriend face his greatest fears in The End of Aaron, from a man who stalks death on an Atlanta street corner to a brother’s surprise at the surreal, improbable beauty of a late night encounter with a wolf, Poissant creates worlds that shine with honesty and dark complexity, but also with a profound compassion. These are stories hell-bent on hope.


- Acreage planted to rye in Oklahoma is primarily used as pasture for the state's large cattle industry. However, Oklahoma is usually the top producing state in rye grain production. Rye harvested for grain in Oklahoma usually totals over a million bushels. Much of this grain is used as seed to replant next year's crop or is shipped out-of-state by the seed industry.
- Cereal rye is an erect annual grass with greenish blue, flat blades and an extensive fibrous root system. It resembles wheat, but usually is taller (3 5 ft) and tillers less.
- Cereal rye is the most winter-hardy of all cereal grains, enduring temperatures as low as -30°F once established. It can germinate and grow at temperatures as low as 33°F; however, optimal temperatures are much higher.
- Cereal rye tolerates drought better than do the other cereal grains, in part because of its extensive root system. It grows best with ample moisture, but excessive moisture during the fall and winter suppresses vegetative growth.
- Cereal rye may be used as a cover crop, grain, hay, or pasture.


Permanent magnets are widely used in turbines, generators, hybrid vehicles, mobile phones, and other electronic equipment that are essential to our daily lives. Thermo-Calc Software has developed a thermodynamic and properties database for rare-earth permanent magnetic materials (TCPMAG1) using the CALPHAD method. There are six elements (B-Ce-Fe-La-Nd-Pr) included in this database. 15 binary and 11 ternary systems are critically evaluated. This enables predictions to be made for multicomponent systems and alloys of industrial importance. The database can be used for a wide range of compositions from pure Nd2Fe14B to very complex rare-earth-based commercial permanent magnetic materials. It can be used for calculating phase diagrams and thermodynamic properties, predicting phase equilibria, curie temperatures and simulating solidification processes. In addition to thermodynamic data, the database includes thermophysical property data for molar volume of all phases, viscosity and surface tension of liquid.
