Initial design work started in May 1936 for the M class light cruisers. They were intended to be used for hunting merchant ships in the oceans.
Orders for the M through P were placed on May 24, 1938. The Q and R were ordered on August 8, 1939. There was however a shortage os slips to construct the ships. The M was placed in the slip that formerly held the Graf Zeppelin.
The M class fell under the Z Plan that would massively rearm the German Navy and they were to be completed between 1942 and 1947.
Once World War II started it was realized that there were other priorities and they were cancelled on September 19, 1939.
There would have been one catapult to launch the aircraft.
||Rate of Fire
|15 cm Sk C/28
The M and N were to have Deschimag AG boilers, Brown-Boverie turbines, and MAN diesels.
The O and P were to have Germania boilers and turbines, and MAN diesels.
The turbines would drive the outer shafts and the diesels would drive the middle shaft. All could be run to attain maximum speed.

Vitamin D Deficiency
Via an article in Natural News regarding vitamin D deficiency: The importance of vitamin D is well known. As far back as the 1930s, doctors first recognized the link between a vitamin D deficiency and the skeletal disease called rickets. Rickets causes a softening of the bones and teeth. Even if someone’s diet has adequate levels of calcium, without enough vitamin D to properly control calcium and phosphate levels in the blood stream, demineralization of the bones can take place. The symptoms of rickets include bowed legs, bone pain, dental problems, a widening of the wrists, frequent bone fractures and skull deformities.
Because rickets is seldom seen in first-world countries, it’s easy to think that vitamin D deficiencies are a thing of the past. However, new research has recently shed light on other, more subtle, symptoms of a vitamin D deficiency. Many illnesses which, at first glance, seem totally unrelated to something as physically obvious as rickets actually may have their roots in a lack of vitamin D.

Just what is vitamin D?
The term vitamin D, according to the Mayo Clinic’s Drugs and Supplements site (1), actually refers to several different forms of the vitamin, including D2, which comes from our diet, and D3, which is manufactured by our skin when exposed to sunlight. Vitamin D’s main purpose in the body is to regulate blood levels of calcium and phosphorous.
The sunshine vitamin?
It’s actually hard to get enough vitamin D from a normal diet. It’s found at the highest concentration in fatty fish such as tuna, mackerel and salmon. Some mushrooms are also high in D, and their level of the vitamin actually increases when exposed to ultraviolet light.
While our skin does manufacture some of the vitamin D that we need daily, sun exposure alone is usually not enough. Factors such as the time of year, the angle of the sun, cloud cover, pollution levels and even the use of sunscreen can greatly limit the amount of D made by our skin.
Vitamin D deficiency symptoms explained: the top 9 warning signs
Some people who have a vitamin D deficiency have no immediate symptoms. Those who do have symptoms may experience restless sleep, muscle cramps, general fatigue, joint pain, muscle pain or weakness, inability to concentrate, headaches, constipation or diarrhea, and bladder problems. Here are nine other serious medical conditions that have been linked to a vitamin D deficiency.
Asthma – Vitamin D supplementation of 1,200 IU daily has been shown to lessen asthma attacks and reduce their severity.
Depression – Vitamin D deficiencies have been linked to depression and other psychiatric illnesses. Even a woman getting enough D during pregnancy has been shown to lessen the chances that her unborn child will develop mental illness later in life.
Heart disease – An article published in Molecular Nutrition & Food Research (2) reports that cardiovascular disease is much more common in people deficient in vitamin D. Some children, according to the article, with severe heart failure have also responded well to vitamin D treatment.
High blood pressure – High blood pressure has been associated with deficiencies in calcium, magnesium, potassium and vitamin D.
Rheumatoid Arthritis – RA is a devastating disease that causes systemic inflammation, severe pain and joint damage. Studies have shown that vitamin D can ease the pain and stiffness associated with RA.
Multiple sclerosis – Studies have shown that geography matters when it comes to the odds of getting MS. The farther from the equator you live — and the less sun exposure you get — the more likely you are to develop the disease. This suggests a strong link between MS and vitamin D.
Cancer – Several different kinds of cancer have been linked to D deficiencies, including breast cancer, prostate cancer and colon cancer. The causal link is so strong, in fact, that the Mayo Clinic (3) lists separate recommended dosing levels of the vitamin for both cancer prevention and prostate cancer treatment.
Periodontal disease – This inflammation of the gums can cause pain, bleeding and tooth loss. Vitamin D helps in the formation of defensins and cathelicidins which, in turn, can lower the number of harmful bacteria in the mouth.
Diabetes – An article from World’s Healthiest Foods (4) lists poor blood-sugar control as a symptom of vitamin D deficiency. This, in turn, can increase the risk of developing diabetes.

There has been a lot of talk about 5G in the last year. While Samsung, OnePlus, LG and Motorola have had their 5G mobiles out for a while, Apple has lagged behind. Many have been waiting with excitement for Apple to release a mobile with support for 5G, and soon the day is here for the launch of the iPhone 12.
Launched on October 13th
For months, there has been whispers in the halls about Apple’s first 5G phone. Rumors have flourished and some information has been leaked. But now Apple is in the starting blocks for a new launch. On October 13, the event will be held where the iPhone 12 will be shown to the world for the first time.
The invitation that was sent out said “Hi, Speed”, something that many assume refers to the new speed that 5G brings. But it can also refer to Apple’s new A14 Bionic processor, which also has a reputation for having high speeds.
The event is held virtually virtually due to the ongoing pandemic and will be streamed on apple.com. For those who feel that they must have an iPhone 12, the mobile phones will then be able to be pre-ordered on October 16th.
According to statements, the new mobile will be released in 4 different models. The smallest, the iPhone 12 Mini, will be 5.4 inches. The largest model, iPhone 12 Pro Max, will be 6.7 inches. The standard iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro will be 6.1 inches.
All of these models are said to deliver a faster processor, the A14 Bionic, as well as OLED screens. The old LCD screens now seems to be out of date. But what may have been the biggest subject is that the iPhone 12 comes with support for 5G. (Cheers and applause). And many iPhone enthusiasts think it’s about time for Apple to release a mobile that supports the new, fast, mobile network.
Since the event has not taken place yet, it is difficult to know what will be new with the iPhone model. But a rumor that abounds is that the phone will not come with a charger. According to statements, this is something that Apple does to save on nature, as people already have chargers at home from their older phones. If this is true or not, I can not vouch for, but do not be surprised if you need to add an extra buck or two, to get a charger for your new iPhone.
It has also been speculated that Apple will launch AirPods Studio and HomePod mini during the event.
Now we are waiting with great excitement for the event. 5G + Apple = true.

This spring brought five different premieres in Philly, Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Colorado.
The first was the premiere of “Swerve”, which is a solo cello & loop pedal piece written for Amanda Gookin’s thrilling and timely “Forward Music Project” back on March 1st at National Sawdust.
Here is a snazzy promo video featuring a bit of “Swerve”:
The Forward Music Project is driven by social justice for women. We musicians, now more than ever, have an incredible ability to effect change in our communities. Amanda commissioned seven composers to write works based on their personal story or a particular issue that affects women and girls. The compositions are stylistically contrasting and represent the vast definition of what it means to be a woman, ranging from issues of the LGBTQ+ community and reproductive rights to sexual violence and empowerment. This visceral performance requires that Amanda sings, chants, breathes, and fights through these works.

HEALTH Summer is coming on fast, so itâ€™s time to plan how you will keep your dog safe and healthy through the lazy, carefree, warm days.
NUTRITION With the wide variety of food at Thanksgiving dinner, chances are you'll want to give your dog something special, too. If you're contemplating what to feed your dog for the holiday, here is a guide to a great Canine Thanksgiving Feast.
DOG HEALTH So you have your new puppy picked out. There are quite a few shots, treatments and examinations that will keep the newest member of your family healthy.
DOG FUN Walking your dog is not only crucial to keeping him healthy and happy, it strengthens the bond between your canine friend and his caregiver. There are a lot of obstacles out there. Donâ€™t forget these simple tips to keep your walk fun and safe in the outside world.
HEALTH The same techniques that physiotherapists use to treat a variety of injuries and conditions in humans have been adapted to suit animals with great success. Family pets, show dogs, and working dogs can all benefit greatly from physiotherapy.Â Dogs whose activities involve a lot of agility are especially susceptible to the types of problems that physiotherapy can address.
FIRST TIME OWNERSBringing a dog into your family is a decision where many people donâ€™t realize itâ€™s magnitude until after they have the dog. There are a number of things that you need to research before you decide to purchase a dog, and it starts right in your own home.
HEALTH Many believe that a dog and a new baby cannot happily coexist, so therefore the dog has to go.Â This is not necessarily the case. Â A new baby does not mean you have to abandon your dog.
DOG TRAINING Itâ€™s not enough to simply walk the dog through the front door and hope he will acclimate to his new surroundings; you have to teach him how to interact with the new people and items in his environment.

Part of what makes the Northampton, Massachusetts area so vibrant and well regarded is the Five College region. In addition to fostering a diverse community and thriving businesses, the location offers several parks and trails for active individuals. Maple Main and Realty, a real estate agency that helps buyers and sellers with commercial and residential real estate in the Northampton area of MA, discusses the various outdoor amenities that make the Five College region perfect for active people.
Discover What the Five College Area Offers Active Residents
The Five College area gets its name from the group of prominent higher education institutions in proximity to each other. These schools include Amherst College, Hampshire College, Mount Holyoke College, Smith College, and the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
Throughout the area, you’ll find several natural parks for engaging in outdoor athletic activities, such as hiking and biking. Some of the most notable locations include:
Amethyst Brook Conservation Area
Favored by many residents and visitors for its impressive trail network, Amethyst Brook Conservation Area allows active people to walk, run, or bike along the tranquil brook. It’s also a great location for spending time with the kids, letting the dogs explore the outdoors, and studying wildlife. In the winter, consider heading to this park for cross-country skiing.
This unique rock canyon has developed from centuries of water flowing from the Westfield River. It forms a vast natural recreation spot that many use for catch-and-release fly fishing. Close by, visitors can see the remnants of a bridge that sat across the river in 1762.
Located in Amherst, Mount Holyoke Range State Park consists of 3,000 acres of woods, streams, wetlands, and other natural environments. It also showcases a mountain ridge line spanning seven miles. Visitors can walk or run on over 30 miles of blazed trails or participate in other activities like horseback riding, hunting, and snowmobiling.
Mill River Recreation Area
This public park contains entrances to the Mill River Conservation Trails, as well as many facilities for outdoor events. Residents can take a walk around the trails and then set up a picnic at one of the tables for an energizing and relaxing day.
Norwottock Rail Trail
The Norwottock Rail Trail makes it easier for people of all abilities to exercise with its accessible biking capabilities. The 11-mile trail is also set up for rollerblading, cross-country skiing, and walking. What’s more, Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) is currently restoring the oldest parts of the Norwottock Rail Trail to provide active visitors more to explore.
Rocky Hill Greenway
The Rocky Hill Greenway is a collection of trails with multiple access points throughout Northampton, MA. Besides offering ample walking and running trails, it also contains a 121-acre peat bog where many rare turtle species dwell. This makes Rocky Hill Greenway a perfect spot for the active and ecologically conscious person.
One of the largest unfiltered sources of water in the United States, Quabbin Reservoir contains 412 billion gallons of water and encompasses 181 miles of shoreline. While recreation is restricted to protect this precious source of drinking water, visitors can pursue several activities at Quabbin Reservoir, including walking, running, biking, fishing, snowshoeing, and hunting.
Seven Sisters Trail Race
Taking place in Mount Holyoke Range State Park, this event features 12 miles of technical trail and over 3,500 ft. of elevation gain. As such, many consider it one of the most challenging trail races in the Northeast. Those who participate in the race will be exposed to some of the most breathtaking scenic views, as well.
These are just a handful of the parks and trails you can find in the Five College area. Additionally, the region is home to indoor fitness centers and similar facilities for those who prefer to workout indoors or for when the weather is bad.

Carl grew up in southeast Wisconsin and completed his undergraduate in Genetics & Genomics at UW-Madison in Spring 2020. He entered the Genetics PhD program at UW-Madison in Fall 2021 and is interested in epigenetic mechanisms in plants and computational biology.
BS, Genetics & Genomics, University of Wisconsin–Madison
During his undergraduate career, Carl gained experience in the lab of Dr. Jean-Michel Ané (UW-Madison) where he conducted research on plant-microbe symbioses and under Dr. Carla Margulies (LMU-München) where he investigated the response of cellular secretory capacity to starvation in Drosophila. After graduating, he worked at the Cereal Crops Research Unit of the USDA in the lab of Dr. Marcus Vinje where he conducted DNA methylation research on lys3 mutants in barley.
Looking forward, Carl would like to focus his research on applying an understanding of epigenetic regulatory systems and computational biology to focus on protecting and improving the production of important agricultural products around the world.

Rapper Kano will headline a London performance for War Child, the charity has announced.
The London-born grime star will appear at the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire in August, according to the organisation, which supports children living in conflict.
The one-off show will be War Child’s first event since the start of the pandemic, it said, adding it has been left £2.5 million short of its expected income.
Sam Briggs, senior music and events specialist at War Child, said: “We are thrilled that Kano has chosen to do this amazing show in support of War Child – made all the more special that it marks our official return to live music events.
“We are honoured to be working with one of the greatest artists of our time, who truly speaks to the youth culture of today, spotlighting the challenges facing a generation with honesty and humanity.

Letter: Don't like Hillary or Trump? Skip that election
The time to choose
As the country approaches Nov. 8, a number of eligible voters have expressed their disaffections with the nominations of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. According to the media and social networks this condition is more prevalent with young voters.
That’s OK! That’s what makes our country so great. You have a legal choice, but don’t waste your vote by selecting third party entries. They are not going to the White House, and they’re also not going to be present at the debates. And you would be denying a vote for someone chosen by the majority of the public.
If you are still objecting, or undecided as you approach the voting booth, don’t vote for the presidency; complete the rest of the ballot as you select worthy persons.
Leonard Levy, Rancho Mirage
Tunnels are beyond our means
Re: Big cost of water tunnels
You’ve got to love the political spin and misdirection we are fed on Gov. Jerry Brown’s water tunnels. The tunnels “... are economically feasible only if the federal government bears a third of the nearly $16 billion cost....” Or to put it in plain language, the tunnels are not economically feasible.
They cost more than we can afford. Maybe we can get the federal government to pony up a gift of $6 billion dollars so the tunnels might be affordable. It leads me to ask the question, “Why do our legislators, who are supposed to exercise financial prudence, even consider, much less approve, such a financially challenged concept”?

Don’t like this idea
Here we go again.
The “tax-n-spend” crazed city government of Cathedral City wants to again push for a tax on sewage pipes from our property to/on city property.If this is so good why aren’t we allowed a vote?
And what is the relationship between the city government and the corporation-service line warranties?

TB awareness needed
Thank you for providing the insightful article about yet another person impacted by Tuberculosis in Riverside County (“Tuberculosis case confirmed in Thermal,” Sept. 15).
We would like to extend our compassion and support to the person who merely breathed in the TB bacteria at some point in their life. May he/she be healed through medical and social support systems.
Three words come up when you ask someone with TB about their needs: education; support; and compassion.
Education: TB survivors want the community to know that TB is preventable and treatable. They want health care providers to be “thinking TB” to avoid misdiagnosis.
Support: People with TB need a strong public health system to ensure their long treatment period, often burdened with side effects, is managed by experienced public health providers. They stress that need support from family and friends is critical.
Compassion. People with TB need compassion not stigma from the community and health care providers. The TB stigma is impeding TB prevention and treatment efforts across the world.
If we have ongoing TB education, medical and social support, and compassion, we have the formula to eliminate TB. As a community, we can do this.

It looks like Apple may have finalized the specifications of its long rumored iWatch. The wearable is set to feature a 2.5 inch rectangular display rather than a circular screen, there will also be multiple designs with varying screen sizes.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the watch will feature ten sensors, which will tie in to Apple's upcoming Healthbook app for iOS 8. Early rumors have also suggested that there will be a model for boys and a separate one for girls.
A source spoke to Reuters about the device's screen: “the watch face will protrude slightly from the band, creating an arched shape,” the source also claims that the watch will have wireless charging capabilities. Some rumors have also suggested that the wearable will feature a 200 or 250 mAh battery.
Apple is due to launch the iWatch alongside the next iPad in October this year. It will tie in heavily to iOS 8 and the company is expecting to sell 50 million units in its first year.

Tempe Police Department Launches 'Positive Ticketing' Campaign With Circle K
The Tempe Police Department is launching a “positive ticketing” campaign for pedestrians and cyclists, and those tickets are actually coupons to Circle K.
Detective Greg Bacon said officers will pass out free drink coupons to those who say and do the right thing when it comes to traffic laws, like a pedestrian using the crosswalk, instead of jaywalking.
“We’ll also be giving them out to our school resource officers to have conversations with the students in the schools, and so they will have some, and the ability to have those positive conversations with our teenagers and youth on traffic laws, bicycle laws and pedestrian laws," Bacon said.
Bacon said drivers should not expect to be pulled over as part of the campaign. He said it’s intended to educate people and reduce traffic fatalities. The department is partnering with Circle K to provide the rewards.

In situ multi-wavelength fluorescence spectroscopy as effective tool to simultaneously monitor spore germination, metabolic activity and quantitative protein production in recombinant Aspergillus niger fed-batch cultures.The production of a mutant green fluorescent protein (S65TGFP), controlled by the maltose inducible glucoamylase promoter, was followed in situ in fed-batch cultures of recombinant Aspergillus niger using multi-wavelength fluorescence spectroscopy. Disturbance of quantitative product analysis by interfering fluorescence signals was resolved by using a set of defined combinations of excitation and emission wavelengths (lambda(ex)/lambda(em)). This technique resulted in excellent linearity between on-line signal and off-line determined S65TGFP concentrations. Spore germination was detectable in situ by monitoring the back scattered light intensity. Moreover, flavin-like fluorophores were identified as the dominating fungal host fluorophores. The time-dependent intensity of this fluorophore, potentially fungal flavin-containing oxidoreductase(s), did not correlate with the biomass concentration but correlated well with the fungal metabolic activity (e.g. respiratory activity). Other fluorophores commonly found in microbial cultures such NADH, pyridoxine and the aromatic amino acids, tryptophan, phenylalanine and tyrosine did not contribute significantly to the culture fluorescence of A. niger. Thus, multi-wavelength fluorescence spectroscopy has proven to be an effective tool for simultaneous on-line monitoring of the most relevant process variables in fungal cultures, e.g. spore germination, metabolic activity, and quantitative product formation.
Streamlining homogeneous glycoprotein production for biophysical and structural applications by targeted cell line development.Studying the biophysical characteristics of glycosylated proteins and solving their three-dimensional structures requires homogeneous recombinant protein of high quality.We introduce here a new approach to produce glycoproteins in homogenous form with the well-established, glycosylation mutant CHO Lec188.8.131.52 cells. Using preparative cell sorting, stable, high-expressing GFP 'master' cell lines were generated that can be converted fast and reliably by targeted integration via Flp recombinase-mediated cassette exchange (RMCE) to produce any glycoprotein. Small-scale transient transfection of HEK293 cells was used to identify genetically engineered constructs suitable for constructing stable cell lines. Stable cell lines expressing 10 different proteins were established. The system was validated by expression, purification, deglycosylation and crystallization of the heavily glycosylated luminal domains of lysosome-associated membrane proteins (LAMP).

Employees at Westbrook company unsure if they have jobs
Department of Labor helping Titan Machine employees
Employees of Titan Machine in Westbrook say they are waiting to hear from the company to see if they have jobs.
Employee Brett Sanborn said workers were paid after a WMTW News 8 report in August about missing paychecks.
However, Sanborn said they've been given no information about the future of the company. He said it's been a week since many employees have been to work.
"It's less than clear if the company is actually closed, because we go by, and we see staff there, even though we've been told we can't come back. There's no work to come back to. And why would we? There's no work to come back to," Sanbord said.
A spokesperson for the Maine Department of Labor said officials can't comment on whether or not the company is under investigation, but a session to help employees file for unemployment and health coverage will be held next Tuesday.

The life story of the pioneering educator.
Edith Lesley Wolfard, founder of Lesley University, was born January 27, 1872 in Panama, then known as New Grenada, and died May 16, 1953 in Boston, Massachusetts. She was the elder daughter of Alonzo and Rebecca (Cousens) Lesley.The Lesleys moved to Bangor, Maine about 1874; Alonzo Lesley had grown up in nearby Carmel, Maine and Rebecca Lesley was from Trenton, Maine. Alonzo Lesley worked as a shoemaker, while Rebecca Lesley took in boarders, at the family's rented homes at 7 Adams Street; No. 1 One Broadway; and 112 State St. Edith's sister Olive May Lesley was born in December, 1875 in Bangor.
Edith Lesley graduated from the public elementary schools of Bangor. She studied privately for two years with Bangor educator Helen L. Newman. In 1890 the Lesley family moved briefly to Boston, before settling permanently in Cambridge, Mass. Alonzo Lesley continued to work as a shoemaker. At some time in the 1890s, Edith Lesley received training in kindergarten education at the Anne L. Page Kindergarten School in Boston, following the precepts of Friedrich Wilhelm August Froebel, widely credited as the inventor of the kindergarten.In 1897 she was hired as the assistant kindergarten teacher at the Riverside School, Cambridge. Her sister Olive joined her there the next year. Later both would move to the Houghton School, which replaced the Riverside (and which was replaced in turn by the present-day Martin Luther King, Jr. School).Between 1904 and 1908 Edith Lesley attended Radcliffe College as a special student, studying philosophy with Josiah Royce, Hugo Munsterberg, and George Herbert Palmer. She may have taken these classes to prepare to open her school.
In 1909 Edith Lesley founded The Lesley School, called in its early years The Lesley Normal School. The term "normal" is based on the French école normale supérieure, a school to educate teachers. The primary purpose of the school was to train young women in kindergarten education. The school enrolled nine students and charged $100 in tuition. Several of the classes were taught by Edith and Olive Lesley, with part-time instructors to teach specialty classes.By 1912 Edith Lesley resigned from her teaching job to devote her full attention to The Lesley School. The school added training for the early primary grades, and in 1917 opened a Household Arts department, which continued until the 1940s. Enrollment grew rapidly in the 1920s, peaking at well over 300 students.In 1912 Edith Lesley married Merl Ruskin Wolfard, an engineer and graduate of the Lawrence Scientific School at Harvard. Merl Wolfard was a silent partner in the business of the school, buying several of the properties that became dormitories. Olive Lesley left the school in about 1915. She had worked for several summers with Wilfred Grenfell in his mission at Labrador. She volunteered for war relief work in France and after the war remained in Europe for the balance of her life.Edith Lesley Wolfard purchased the 29 Everett Street house her family had long rented in 1915, turning it into the headquarters of The Lesley School. A few years later the Wolfards added a one-story brick addition to 29 Everett St. for classes and student boarding (later added to and now known as Stebbins Hall). In 1928-29 the school was rebuilt with a garden and quadrangle between Everett and Mellen Streets, giving the residential campus the form it still has today.Edith Lesley Wolfard hired Getrude Malloch, a Boston kindergarten teacher, in 1914 as an instructor in methods courses. Miss Malloch rapidly moved into administration as well as continuing to teach, and frequently accompanied Mrs. Wolfard in her travels and professional work on behalf of kindergarten education.
The Lesley School gained a reputation for solid teacher preparation focused on extensive experience. Graduates readily found employment across the state as well as in other regions of the country. The school's leaders and faculty kept up with changes in teacher education, adding a three-year course, more liberal arts, and refining pedagogic methods. Edith Lesley Wolfard continued to set the general direction of the school; Gertrude Malloch, as Associate Principal and later Principal, was the de facto head of school.
Enrollments declined in the mid-1930s as a result of the Great Depression, while Edith Lesley Wolfard began to struggle with chronic illness. In 1938 she received an honorary master's degree from Suffolk University, which marked the end of the Lesley School as a proprietary institution.
The Wolfards created a trust and attempted to run the Lesley School on this basis from 1938 until 1940. The school incorporated in 1941 as a non-profit institution, and petitioned to be able offer the bachelor's degree. This petition was granted in 1943. In 1944 The Lesley School officially became Lesley College.
Edith Lesley Wolfard remained a trustee until 1947. The Wolfards continued to live at 29 Everett Street until Edith Lesley Wolfard's death in 1953. Merl Wolfard remained a corporator at the college until his death in 1964. They had no children.

Songs Christisans Sing During the Holidays
Music is a universal language, spoken from the beginning of time. David is one of the most well-known earlier musicians, with the book of Psalms presenting much of his work. But over the years, songs have been written to document and celebrate events and experiences, including many Christmas songs that are sung every year. Whether Christmas caroling in neighborhoods, sitting around the fireplace in winter with family or at a church Christmas program, people sing songs at Christmas that warm their hearts and have them speaking the same language.

|The Physical Object|
|Pagination||2 v. ;|
Refugee Law is a concise account of Canadian refugee law, policy, and procedure. It presents refugee law as an independent system, yet one that is open to and influenced by other branches of domestic law, international law, the practices of other jurisdictions, and the general global trends in forced migration. With the recent election of Trudeau’s Liberals, Canadians and their families overseas have so many questions regarding changes and potential changes to the immigration policy. Like many first world countries, Canada has an aging population, a long life expectancy and a decreasing birth rate, so the country depends on immigration to grow in population and .
Many Canadians believe that immigrants steal jobs away from qualified Canadians, abuse the healthcare system and refuse to participate in Canadian culture. In About Canada: Immigration, Gogia and Slade challenge these myths with a thorough investigation of the realities of immigrating to Canada. Examining historical immigration policies, the authors note that these policies were always. The book is divided into four parts. Part 1 provides context and delves into the sources and evolution of Canadian immigration law. Part 2 examines status in Canada, identifying how persons may obtain, keep, and lose temporary or permanent status. Part 3 discusses the devices that the Canadian government uses to enforce immigration law.
The Canadian Orientation Abroad (COA) program is an overseas orientation initiative funded by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and implemented by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in over 40 countries across the globe. COA is offered to visa-ready migrants to Canada, including refugees, economic immigrants, and family class immigrants. Immigration and Canada provides readers with a vital introduction to the field of international migration studies. This original book presents an integrated critical perspective on Canadian immigration policies, main trends, and social, economic, and cultural impacts. It offers up-to-date information on migration patterns and examines Canada in an evolving, global-transnational system that.

LGA: Mandatory mattress recycling needs imposing on manufacturers to reduce fly-tipping
More than 33,000 mattresses - the equivalent height of almost 20 Empire State buildings if stacked on top of each other - were illegally dumped across England between 2018 and 2019, the Local Government Association reveals
The LGA is calling for mattress manufacturers to be forced to recycle their own products and offer take-back services to stop them being illegally fly-tipped and reduce cost pressures on council recycling and waste disposal centres.
LGA analysis of latest industry figures also shows that annual UK mattress sales are outstripping the number recycled by more than five-fold, with 7.26 million sold as replacements compared to 1.36 million recycled.
The lack of a comprehensive take-back and recycling scheme is leaving councils to pick up the slack.
Mattresses, which need specialist treatment due to their bulky nature and mix of metal and fabric components, are fuelling cost pressures on waste and recycling centres.
With landfill tax increasing alongside landfill gate fees - which are expected to rise further as available landfill capacity reduces – some councils have had to introduce charges for non-household waste to help keep waste and recycling centres open.
Councils are reducing waste sent to landfill and send more mattresses for recycling than commercial organisations. But mattresses - which are free for householders to dispose of at council-run waste and recycling centres - still made up 13 per cent of waste illegally dumped in England between 2013 and 2018.
The increase in choices of bedding and people now being advised to replace mattresses after eight years, rather than 12, is also thought to be fuelling sales and creating more mattresses in circulation - and a greater need to recycle them to reduce landfill.
Dumped mattresses are also susceptible to arson attacks.
The LGA, which represents councils in England and Wales, wants manufacturers to be forced to recycle their mattresses and offer take-back services, which will enable people to return them instead of throwing them away. This would help to reduce fly-tipping which has soared by 50 per cent in the past six years and costs councils in England £58 million a year to clear up.
The LGA also wants to work with the Government on reviewing sentencing guidelines for fly-tipping, so offenders are given bigger fines for more serious offences, and to ensure councils have the funding needed to investigate incidents.
LGA Environment spokesman Cllr David Renard said:
“Dumped mattresses made up a quarter of all fly-tipping incidents in some areas in the past five years.
“Unwanted mattresses are fuelling landfill costs which continue to rise, putting pressure on waste and recycling centres which councils are working hard to keep open.
“Mattresses are bulky and hard to throw away, but are generally recyclable. Manufacturers need to take responsibility for the life-cycle of their mattresses and help councils and consumers dispose of them responsibly.
“Alongside being forced to offer take-back services and recycle mattresses as part of a circular economy, manufacturers need to be made to introduce mandatory take-back schemes to help reduce mattresses being dumped illegally and contributing to a fly-tipping bill of nearly £60 million a year to taxpayers in England.
“Fly-tipping is an illegal and inexcusable blight on society. Offenders need to be given bigger fines and councils need adequate funding to investigate incidents.
A Norfolk couple who dumped a bed and sofa on a roundabout before moving home were fined £300 by Breckland Council. In a separate prosecution by the council, a man who dumped a large amount of domestic waste, including a mattress, near fishing lakes, was fined £300. He agreed to remove the rubbish and dispose of it legally at a recycling centre where the waste would have previously been accepted for free and recycled correctly.
Walsall Council operates a reward scheme “Walsall’s Most Wanted”. They offer a reward of £500 for information about identification of fly-tippers who they have not been able to identify using other tools. The reward is payable on successful conviction. In February 2020 such an appeal was put out for a person captured fly-tipping a mattress on covert CCTV cameras. This led to a name being put forward and the offender admitting the incident as a result. The reward initiative is one of several measures introduced by the council to tackle fly-tipping which costs the local authority approximately £500,000 a year to clean up.
A man was given a £300 fixed penalty notice by East Riding of Yorkshire Council after being caught dumping a mattress in an alleyway in Goole. The council launched a crackdown on fly-tipping after several mattresses were found dumped in alleys.
A house in Northampton was badly scorched after two mattresses were set alight outside the property in the early hours and had to be extinguished by firefighters.
Of 646,039 fly-tipping incidents reported between 2013 and 2018, mattresses made up 13 per cent of the waste illegally dumped
Based on an average mattress depth of 10 inches, 33,000 mattresses is 8,382 metres high if stacked on top of one another. The Empire State Building is 443 metres high, so 33,000 mattresses is the equivalent height of 19 Empire State buildings.
UK mattress sales are outstripping the number recycled by more than five-fold and councils send more mattresses for recycling than commercial enterprises and the service sector
Fly-tipping incidents in England have soared by 50 per cent, from 714,637 incidents in 2012/13 to 1,072,431 incidents in 2018/19. Fly-tipping incidents have increased by 8 per cent in the past year, from 997,553 in 2017/18.

As long as traffic congestion remains of one the Washington area’s most vexing problems, the idea of building another Potomac River bridge may be the most divisive potential solution, guaranteed to spur contention whenever it resurfaces in ongoing efforts to improve regional mobility.
This was in evidence on Wednesday, when the National Capital Region Transportation Planning Board (TPB) voted to include the bridge idea on a list of 10 major highway, transit, and land use initiatives warranting further study to assess their possible benefits to the region’s transportation system.
During the two-hour TPB meeting, the bridge was the only issue debated, completely overshadowing the other projects to be studied, including toll lanes on the rest of the Beltway, I-270, Dulles Toll Road, and Route 50; bus rapid transit in Montgomery and Prince George’s Counties and Northern Virginia; free public transit rides for poor residents; and placing more offices and housing near undeveloped Metrorail stations.
While no specific location for a new span was decided upon, some officials on the northern side of the Potomac condemned the possibility that it could be built upriver from the American Legion Bridge, connecting Rt. 28 in Virginia to the I-270 corridor in Maryland through Montgomery County’s agricultural reserve.
Montgomery County Council member Marc Elrich, who represents his county at the TPB, proposed removing the bridge study from the final list of initiatives but his amendment failed to garner adequate support. On Tuesday, the County Council unanimously passed a resolution to oppose another study.
Indeed, opponents argued on Wednesday that the idea already has been studied for decades by both Democratic and Republican administrations in Virginia, who repeatedly failed to convince their neighbors in Maryland to support such a project.
And a recent study, which focused not on a new span but instead on traffic and transit volumes at 11 existing Potomac River crossings, cast doubt on the potential benefits of building another bridge upriver from the hopelessly congested American Legion Bridge.
The study by the Virginia Department of Transportation concluded in 2015 that extending toll lanes across the American Legion to I-270 “be the top priority for addressing western Potomac River crossings,” although the recommendations did “not eliminate the benefits of a future ‘outer crossing’ to address the needs for interconnectivity/crossing the Potomac River.”
The conclusion was based on research that showed only a fraction of cars crossing the American Legion Bridge during rush hour originated from western Loudoun and Fairfax Counties with destinations, after crossing the river, to the north and west.
More study to come
Mountains of past studies notwithstanding, the Transportation Planning Board’s staff and consultants will take another look at it. To supporters, it is a no-brainer: a region expecting another million residents in the coming decades needs more ways to cross the Potomac.
Evan Pritchard, the executive director of the Northern Virginia Transportation Alliance, said the region should have built multiple bridges across the Potomac decades ago to avoid the current traffic quagmire.
“The need for additional river crossing north of the American Legion Bridge is as apparent today as it was half a century ago,” Pritchard said in testimony to the TPB.
To opponents, another bridge would pave the way to more suburban sprawl, minimal congestion relief, and drain finite dollars away from more pressing transportation needs, including Metro.
Stewart Schwartz, the head of the Coalition for Smarter Growth which opposes major highway projects, said the region’s future lies in public transportation.
“If you build it, you will certainly induce new land use in those outer areas that will induce more traffic, and you will be left with a new crowded bridge plus an old crowded American Legion Bridge,” said Schwartz, who said the idea of ‘outer beltway’ belongs in the 1950s.
After studying the 10 initiatives for next few months, the TPB is expected by the end of 2017 to decide which ones should be added to the region’s long-range transportation plan, likely provoking another public debate like the one that engulfed Wednesday’s meeting.
But TPB chair Bridget Donnell Newton, the mayor of Rockville, sought to refute the notion that Marylanders have made up their minds. She called on officials on both sides of the river to approach the study with an open mind.
“It behooves us to take off our parochial hats, put on our regional hats, and work together,” she said. “It is difficult for people to do that. Sometimes it is because we become entrenched in our decisions and we don’t want to hear new information.”
