By Desert Star Staff Scientists have raised the alarm about the new Omicron Covid-19 variant, first identified in Botswana, with an “extremely high number” of mutations that may drive new waves of infection. So, how dangerous is it?

On Friday, the World Health Organization (WHO) named the B.1.1.529 variant of the novel coronavirus Omicron.’

Scientists are working overtime to find out what impact this variant will have on the trajectory of the Covid-19 pandemic, but there are some things we know already.

Where did the B.1.1.529 variant come from?

The first cases of B.1.1.529 were identified in Botswana from samples taken on November 11. Patients were then recorded in neighboring South Africa, which reported the new variant to the WHO on Wednesday.

Flying To Stockholm? It’s A Piece Of Cake

By Anthony Grant To peer into the soul of a city don’t duck into a museum: grab a piece of cake. Great works of art and architecture are important but so are the delicacies you may have occasion to taste. You can find a million pictures of the Eiffel Tower on Instagram but there’s nothing like entering a Parisian bakery early in the morning and smelling the freshly baked chocolate croissants. That’s what you’re going to remember. But now it is with great pleasure that I can reveal a European pastry that’s sweeter and more sophisticated than any humble breakfast roll, one that involves lots of whipped cream, dreamy icing and raspberries—but you have to go to Sweden to get it.

Which granted is not exactly next door to Southern California, but maybe not as arduous a journey as you might think. That’s because starting this month Finnair flies from LAX to Stockholm, the capital of Scandinavia (#visitstockholm), non-stop, which means the cake I am about to describe could be tempting you from the cozy confines of a bright Swedish cafe less than 24 hours from the time you finish reading this article. It’s called the Princess Cake: a light and sweet (but not overpoweringly

so) cross between cake and confection and that serves as a reminder that a) no, you cannot get everything at Trader Joe’s and b) there’s more to Sweden than IKEA and ABBA. What is it, exactly?

According to the legendary Swedish coffeehouse VeteKatten, this regal treat has sponge bases that are layered with freshly-prepared custard and raspberries, “enveloped by a thick quilt of whipped cream, all encased in green marzipan powdered with icing sugar.” There’s usually a pink marzipan rose plunked on top. So your ingredients are flour, eggs, sugar, cream, milk, corn flour, butter, vanilla, almonds and raspberries.

According to Visit Stockholm, about a half-million Princess Cakes are sold every year— pity I only had time for one!

Enjoy your slab of Princess Cake the way the Stockholmers do, which is to say as part of a fika: the traditional Swedish coffee and cake break. As it turns out, I didn’t have to go very far to find my Princess. There was a small Vete-Katten almost next door to my hotel, a posh urban bolthole called At Six, tucked inside the sleek Gallerian shopping mall.

Fueled by my sizable portion of Princess and a big cup of Swedish caffe latte—putting

Starbucks to shame—I was ready to take on the frosty Scandinavian fall weather and explore Gamla stan, a central urban island replete with winding cobblestone streets, fanciful 17th- and 18th-century buildings and of course, home to the Royal Palace. But the myriad sights and cultural attractions of Stockholm are for another dispatch.

The food scene in Stockholm now is burgeoning with an emphasis on local, Nordic ingredients and an impressive array of vegan and vegetarian options too. At December 1, 2021

the Grand Hotel (no relation to the fictional Grand Hotel of Greta Garbo fame) Chef Mathias Dahlgren is creating the “next generation of lactoovo-vegetarian cuisine” at his Rutabaga restaurant. Less lavishly (and also in Gallerian) there is The Farm Family, a hipster eatery where the menu is one part fresh fish items (think fish tacos or fish and chips with homemade dipping sauces like one that blends horseradish and cucumber), one part organic salads that change according to the season. I didn’t have time

to hop over to Mr. Cake, an upbeat spot for a fika with a dazzling range of cakes and sweets overseen by Roy Fares, a young Swede of Lebanese extraction (but check out the Instagramworthy cakes at mrcake.se). I can only say that, as a lifelong ally of all things raspberry, in the Princess Cake I may have finally met my Waterloo—or in the immortal words of ABBA, “how could I ever refuse/I feel like I win when I lose.” So, are you ready for your foodieforward flight to Stockholm yet?

Jack Dorsey steps down as Twitter CEO

By Desert Star Staff Jack Dorsey is stepping down as CEO of Twitter, the company he co-founded in 2006 and will be replaced by the company’s CTO, Parag Agrawal, Dorsey and the social platform said on Monday.

In a statement on his exit from Twitter, Dorsey listed a variety of reasons he was leaving, primarily saying he does not want to limit the company’s potential by having it be “founder-led.” He also expressed support for Agrawal and said he would continue to serve on the board until “Mayish” to help the new CEO, as well as a new board chair.

Dorsey said his exit was effective immediately.

The announcement that Dorsey would be replaced came shortly after a CNBC report earlier Monday cited sources saying he would be stepping down in the coming days. Separate reports citing sources later said Dorsey’s exit had been planned since last year, and his replacement had already been chosen.

Nasdaq quickly suspended trading Twitter stock after the company’s value shot up approximately 10% at the reports of Dorsey stepping down.

Dorsey said the resignation was his decision alone. However, he was reportedly nearly removed from his position as CEO last year after investors grew concerned with his dual CEO roles with Twitter and Square.

At the time, Dorsey reached a deal to remain in his position.

In a statement on his new position as CEO, Agrawal said he is “honored” and “humbled” to take up the role. Taylor also

released a statement in which he praised Dorsey for returning to the CEO role in 2015 and turning the “company around at the most critical time.”

people with residence rights will be required to quarantine for 14 days on arrival from South Africa, even if they are fully vaccinated against Covid-19, Health Minister Jens Spahn said.

Research at the Bambino Gesu Hospital in Rome has shown that Omicron has 43 spike protein mutations, compared to the 18 in the Delta variant. This part of the virus, which protrudes from its surface and resembles a spike, plays a vital role in how the pathogen infects its host.

Most vaccines are designed according to the spike-protein profile of the virus, so such mutations can make it harder for the body to defeat the infection.

Viruses mutate “often and at random,” noted Dr. Meera Chand, the Covid-19 incident director at the UK Health Security Agency. However, Chand told The Guardian that it was not unusual for minor cases to arise featuring new sets of mutations.

Professor Stuart Ray, the vice-chair of medicine for data integrity and analytics at the US’ Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, said that “geographic separation tends to result in genetically distinct variants.”

Belgium. After that, the virus was found in a traveler from Egypt. Several infections with Omicron were soon recorded in other EU countries, including Germany, Italy, and the UK. British Health Secretary Sajid Javid confirmed that the first two cases were linked to the travel from southern Africa. Health officials in the Netherlands said 61 Covid-positive people had arrived on two separate flights from South Africa, 13 of whom were infected with Omicron.

By Sunday, the strain had reached North America, with two cases discovered in Canada.

How dangerous is Omicron?

The WHO designated Omicron as a variant of concern on Friday. It said the new strain posed a “very high” risk globally and warned that, due to its multiple mutations, it might be more contagious and have a more potent effect on the human immune system than the previously known variants.

At the same time, the WHO noted that there was still “substantial uncertainty” about many of Omicron’s traits, including its transmissibility and the severity of the disease it causes.

Angelique Coetzee, the South African doctor who first detected the new variant, said patients have so far exhibited mild symptoms, such as fatigue and headaches, and did not present with some of the symptoms common in Covid-19 infections, such as a cough and a loss of smell.

Why are scientists worried about the new strain?

Can Omicron strain dodge vaccines?

The WHO said that, given the existing data, it is “reasonable to assume” that the currently available vaccines provide “some protection” against severe illness and death.

However, scientists around the world need more time to see how well existing vaccines work against Omicron. “Probably in a few weeks, we’ll have a better sense of how much this variant is spreading, and how necessary it might be to push forward with a variant vaccine,” Dr. Jesse Bloom, an evolutionary biologist at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, told the New York Times.

How did we get here?

What comes next?

While news of the variant has caused a global panic, sending stock markets plunging, we still don’t know how transmissible this strain is or whether it will be able to evade vaccine-induced immunity.

WHO’s the technical lead on Covid-19, Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove assured that “any variants showing evidence of spread are rapidly assessed.” However, it could take several weeks to gain a real insight into the impact of the new strain, she added.

Striking a similar tone, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said scientists and vaccine-makers would likely have a “full picture” in two to three weeks.

BioNTech, which produced a vaccine with Pfizer, Moderna, Sinovac, and the makers of Sputnik V, have each announced that they would quickly make updated versions of their vaccines tailored for Omicron if necessary.

Professor Andrew Pollard, the director of the Oxford Vaccine Group that designed a vaccine with AstraZeneca, told The Guardian it was “doubtful that a reboot of a pandemic in a vaccinated population like we saw last year is going to happen” in the UK.

HOROSCOPES ARIES

Gradually certain spiritual components and aspirations will enter your consciousness.

They will work into and align with your goals, many of which are appearing now in large numbers. It’s good to give thanks for your great mind and for the transformative affect you have on those you meet in the world. Be aware that you are always a force that influences others. You must link that force with love. And gratitude.

TAURUS It is important to conserve your strength, rest whenever possible, and economize all actions each day. This is vital for the well-being of all that you are to bring forth for the greater good. It’s also useful to consider what assets you have, especially what is hidden away and/or in storage, in boxes, room drawers, safes, or simply lying about on tabletops. These resources await your gratitude and attention. They need a new home. Careful with impatience.

GEMINI You begin to sense a certain level of dignity, self-confidence and self-assurance in relation with others. It’s as if the sun has begun to shine on all your interactions. You begin to cooperate more and hide less, allow changes of environment to expand your interests, and realize that even enemies and those you don’t resonate with have a certain purpose in your

CANCER Daily routines begin to take precedence in terms of diet and health, scheduling tasks and chores, and utilizing your energy more effectively. You’re grateful for this awareness. It allows you to nourish yourself while also ordering and organizing the environment.

Perhaps your garden called you to attention and the miracle of what each plant presents has shifted your emphasis to the devas. Cultivating your garden you fall in love again.

LEO Your abilities are in the spotlight for everyone realizes without you the work needed for the new era would not materialize.

There’s praise for your ongoing accomplishments, praise for the connections you make and for the important people and events you cultivate. In return be sure to provide even greater praise for everyone around you. This brings forth trust, gratitude, pleasure, care and a love not often experienced. Soon you will tend to even greater tasks.

VIRGO Tend to family, parents and elders and the principle of caring will be returned to you a hundred-fold. Perhaps you feel unrecognized or unseen during these times. However, this will

not last. You will emerge out from under any shadows into the light of day where three lights meet. There will be new projects to focus on. Now the groundwork is being prepared.

Like seeds underground sprouting new shoots, your life settles into a new security.

LIBRA A new self-reliance appears and a new practicality. You reserve your energy for important matters; tend to money with confidence, firmness and decisiveness.

Do not overlook your health, become overworked or let your physical body become cold.

Tend to yourself and all parts of your life very carefully. Later you will plan holiday parties, inviting people to your home.

I see flowers, holiday wreaths and colorful lights everywhere in your home. You are at your best during these festival days.

SCORPIO Whatever you ask for seems to come your way. You simply need to state your needs and whatever it is races towards you. Be careful therefore what you seek and ask for.

It’s prudent to supervise your money and all life matters carefully. With the first be sure to share generously, giving to those in need. With the second use speech to always radiate goodwill into the world. Both take discipline, which you possess more than most. Something secret or spiritual hovers around you.

SAGITTARIUS There may be new friends’ groups, acquaintances, contacts and colleagues and each one becomes a learning and lesson. Some Sag’s are seeking teachers and teachings that will bring harmony and balance into their lives. Some Sags are becoming teachers, professors. All Sags are in a state of seeking a new state of equilibrium. This is because new goals are being formed.

They’re not visible yet. But in time they will appear. In all the silence of Sagittarius, speak words of gratitude.

CAPRICORN Assessing what you have and being always and ever thankful creates an expansion of inner happiness and joy. Then life is almost overabundant. This cultivation of abundance prepares you for the transformations that have been and continues for all Capricorns. Seeing and experiencing life as abundant aids others. You become their mentor in understanding life (filled with both happiness and suffering). You know both.

go down. T.S., San Diego

Hello Kelly: With the historic low interest rates in bank money market and CDs for our reserves, it seems to me that the board has a fiduciary duty to manage these funds like a trustee’s role in managing a defined benefit pension plan for its employees. I believe one could have a diversified fixed income portfolio to have safety and yield and value-oriented equity portfolio for income and growth and a small piece in growth. What are your thoughts on this approach?

Respectfully, R.S., Palm Springs Dear T.S. and R.S.: The Davis-Stirling Act presently requires that managers deposit HOA funds in a federally insured account (Civil Code Section 5380(a)). Furthermore, beginning in 2022, AB 1101 (sponsored by the Community Associations Institute) adds to Section 5380 a further prohibition against investing HOA funds in “stocks or other

high-risk investment options.”

There is no similar explicit restriction on the actions of the board on this regard, so theoretically a board could bypass management and invest funds in a way that is not federally insured, or even in stocks or mutual funds. So, it is tempting to seek higher-yield (and riskier) investments for HOA funds. However, it is important to remember that, as R.S. correctly notes, HOA directors are fiduciaries with respect to the HOA funds in their care, and they can be arguably held liable if there is a loss of the principal due to a downturn in the investment. If the HOA is to invest its funds in a way other than managers are allowed, boards will need to consult some investment advice and develop a written investment policy. That will help keep the board within the Business Judgment Rule (Corporations Code Section 7231.5).

How Should We Invest HOA Funds?

By Kelly G. Richardson, Esq. CCAL Mr. Richardson: HOAs face a financial issue with interest rates so low. My HOA and the vast majority of other HOAs play it safe with CDs and money market accounts for investment. I am opposed to this. Now that we are averaging something well below 1.5%, the risk to HOAs is enormous. It is easy to increase HOA fees to homeowners by 3% per year and that will cover annual operating costs and maybe some reserve replenishment. Those reserves overall, though, will lose value over time as it relates to inflation and increases in costs.

HOA management companies have financial advisors that warn against risk of going into stocks/ bonds. But HOAs need to earn more. Otherwise, HOA fees will go up and up and up.

And then property values will

enough in your willingness to help others. Aquarius is about serving humanity and you are learning this. Everyone becomes your friend. The world itself is your companion.

presumably the reserve study preparer takes that into account in their long-range financial recommendations.

R.S. and T.S., some HOAs are so large that they can’t keep all their funds in insured accounts, and so they must pursue investment strategies which reasonably protect the HOA funds while providing a reasonable return.

Such HOAs should have outside financial advisors or companies to monitor their funds and advise them.

The federally insured approach may not be the best for growing HOA reserve funds, but it is the safest. That is why managers and lawyers typically recommend it for all but the largest associations, to avoid unpaid volunteers taking on personal risk in that regard.

Changes in Taxes & new Benefits in the Biden BBB Stimulus Plan

By Janice Gough The bill imposes a 15% minimum corporate levy on companies that have traditionally been able to pay little-to-no taxes because they were eligible for a long list of credits and deductions. It also includes a 1% excise tax on companies when they buy back their own stock. The 21% corporate rate is left untouched, maintaining a key part of President Donald Trump’s 2017 tax law.

International Tax Changes: A 15% global minimum tax on corporations’ foreign profits is set — implementing a key portion of a deal made with approximately 140 countries earlier this year. There is also a series of changes that would increase taxes on companies that shift their profits offshore.

Levies on High Earners: A millionaire surtax would place a 5% levy on individual incomes in excess of $10 million and an additional 3% tax on those over $25 million.

There’s a 3.8% investment

income tax for high earners who own businesses and a limit on how business owners can use losses to reduce their taxes.

The plan puts a $10 million cap on individual retirement accounts after concerns that some wealthy individuals were using these tax-advantaged vehicles to skirt IRS bills.

SALT Deduction: The House lawmakers have settled on raising the cap on the federal deduction for state and local taxes, or SALT, to $80,000 from the $10,000 imposed

by Republicans in 2017.

The higher cap would be in place through 2030 and then revert to $10,000 in 2031.

Pre-School: The plan includes funding for states to start or grow universal prekindergarten for three- and fouryear-old children. States would be directed to begin rolling out the programs in high-need and low-income areas first before expanding to other areas.

Paid Leave: A last-minute addition to the House package provides four weeks of paid parental and medical leave, starting in 2024, for workers

who don’t receive such a benefit from their employers.

Renewable Energy Benefits: Some $300 billion and by far the largest component of the climate spending in the package would go to expanding a slew of tax credits for renewable power, electric vehicles, biofuels and energy efficiency.

The credits could accelerate investments in both utility-scale and residential clean energy as well as electricity transmission, power storage and cleanenergy manufacturing.

New Bans, Methane Fees: Plans would block oil drilling in most U.S. offshore waters and Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Oil and gas companies would be forced to pay for excess methane leaking from wells, storage sites and pipelines for the first time.

Electric Vehicle Tax Credit. Under the bill a $7,500 consumer tax credit would be made refundable and expanded by $4,500 for cars assembled domestically by plants represented by unions.

An additional $500 bonus would be added for vehicles that use

batteries made in the U.S for a total of $12,500. The legislation also creates a new $4,000 tax credit for the purchase of used electric vehicles.

Drug Prices: The bill would empower the government to negotiate with pharmaceutical companies on drugs that have been on the market for at least seven years or longer for more complex medicines. Drugmakers would be required to rebate the government for raising the price of their product above the pace of inflation, starting in 2023.

Obamacare Extension: The package represents a massive investment in bolstering the Affordable Care Act to make good on the health law’s promise of reasonably priced insurance coverage.

It would extend boosted premium subsidies into 2025 and offer a new tier of lowcost plans to people in the 12 states that have declined to expand their Medicaid programs under the ACA. Medicaid Boost: One of the package’s largest investments is in Medicaid’s home- and community care programs.

Democrats are proposing to inject states with $150 billion to give more elderly and disabled Americans the opportunity to get long-term care at home and boost pay for home care workers.

Medicare: For the first time, Medicare would cover hearing services for seniors.

Immigration: The House measure would offer parole status to an estimated 6.5 million undocumented immigrants who entered the U.S. before 2011, offering deportation protections and work permits if they meet specific requirements.

Being on top of Tax changes for Advisors is a daunting task.

Paid-Leave Advocates Press for Build Back Better

By Suzanne Potter/PNS SACRAMENTO, Calif. -The push to offer paid Leave nationwide is in high gear. A plan already passed the U.S. House as part of the Build Back Better Act, but it faces unanimous Republican opposition in the Senate, where a vote is expected in the coming weeks.

California is one of nine states plus D.C. already offering paid Leave, so advocates are focused on convincing holdout Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., in a state hit hard by the opioid crisis.

Neil Sroka, communications director for the group Paid Leave for the U.S., said paid Leave is sometimes about caring for yourself, so you can be there for the people who depend on you.

“When someone needs to get treatment for addiction recovery, they often need to go to inpatient services for two weeks or four weeks,” Sroka explained. “And for many, that means choosing between a future without substanceuse disorder and their job.”

Opponents say the $2 trillion Build Back Better bill is too costly.

Meanwhile, California

advocates are working to improve the system in the Golden State, where people can take up to eight weeks of paid family leave per year as part of the state disability program and recover 60% to 70% of their salary. However, state data showed many lowincome families couldn’t afford to use the program because they needed their full salary.

This year Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed Assembly Bill 123, which would have increased the pay rate to 90% for all workers, citing concerns it would have raised payroll taxes.

Sroka pointed out Build Back Better would help California fund the program.

“One of the provisions of the paid-leave program is it would offer additional funding support for states like California that already offer a program,” Sroka noted. “But most importantly, it would be a federal framework that will make sure that everyone has access to it.”

Next year, the state Legislature will reconsider Assembly Bill 995, which would require employers to offer five days of paid sick Leave per year, up from the current three.

young girl named Clara who receives a magical nutcracker doll on Christmas Eve and sets out on a wondrous journey to the Land of the Snow and the Kingdom of Sweets. Toy soldiers, life-sized dancing dolls, falling snow, a fantastic dream with battling mice, dancing snowflakes, waltzing flowers, gingerbread characters, and the delightful Sugar Plum Fairy all stir the imagination. This is

family entertainment at its best.

“The entire IPB team and the cast are so excited to return to the theater. The energy exchange between the audience and the performers is really what creates the magic. We hope our audiences will come out to see The Nutcracker this year to support keeping live performances possible in the Inland Empire region,” exclaims Zaylin Cano, Inland Pacific

Ballet Executive Director.

Proof of vaccination or negative Covid test and maskwearing will be required of all patrons. In addition, all current CDC and local guidelines regarding seating and masks will be followed at each performance. Please check with the venue for current guidelines.

Hearty, Wholesome Winter Meals

S

FAMILY FEATURES

eeking comfort from the cold in the form of a wholesome meal is a perfect way to cap off a day with loved ones. During the winter months when brisk temperatures chill you to the bone, warming up with hearty dishes at the family table can bring everyone together. n

Full of seasonal flavors with top-notch taste, Pecan-Crusted Pork Tenderloin offers a delicious main course you don’t have to feel guilty about. This easy yet elegant entree puts a unique spin on a dinnertime staple thanks to a crunchy pecan crust.

n

With cheddar and ricotta cheeses, sour cream and cavatappi noodles, this Mac and Cheese with Pecan Breadcrumbs is an extra creamy, creative twist on the kid-friendly classic. Pair this family favorite with the pork tenderloin for an easy weeknight combination that little ones can help with in the kitchen by stirring together the cheesy goodness.

This family dinner is made possible with tasty pecans, which are among the lowest in carbs and highest in fiber compared to other tree nuts, helping you stay fuller longer. As a nutrient-dense powerhouse, they have 3 grams of plant-based protein and 3 grams of fiber per 1-ounce serving with 12 grams of “good” monounsaturated fat and only 2 grams of saturated fat. Essential nutrients like thiamin, zinc, copper and manganese – a mineral that’s essential for metabolism and bone health – mean you can feel good about serving pecan-infused dishes to your loved ones.

Released on Nov. 22, “A Great Miracle: Jeremiah Lockwood’s Guitar Soli Chanukah Record” is a beautiful solo guitar celebration of the Festival of Lights. Inspired in part by the groundbreaking 1968 album “The New Possibility: John Fahey’s Guitar Soli Christmas Album,” Lockwood’s new 8-track album delivers a stunning selection for each night of the Chanukah holiday.

Spanning from the lovely “Ritual” and more forceful “Al Hanisim” to several pieces centered on the magic of the Dreydl (the bluesy take on Samuel Goldfarb’s “Little Dreydel” and an original arrangement of Moishe Oysher’s “Drey Dreydl”) and touching closer “Chanukah Oy Chanukah,” this is a wonderful album that will brighten any music lover’s holiday season.

Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property.

Western Monarch Butterflies Rebound from Edge of Extinction

By Suzanne Potter/PNS GOLETA, Calif. - The western monarch butterfly appears to be pulling back from the edge of extinction - with more than 100,000 counted so far in the 25th annual Western Monarch Thanksgiving Count.

More than 100 butterfly enthusiasts are creeping around groves early each morning this week, counting the iconic orange-and-black western monarch. They’re finding large clusters from Los Angeles to Santa Cruz.

A Xerces Society conservation biologist, Emma Pelton, said it’s unclear if the rebound is because of natural variability or something else.

“They move and migrate over such large areas that it’s hard to know exactly what weather conditions or environmental factors affected things in any one spot,” she said, “but we think this is a

good example of resiliency.”

People who spot a large cluster of monarchs are encouraged to report it on the app iNaturalist so that scientists can check it out.

Gardeners can also help the species by reducing pesticide use and planting the butterflies’ favorite flowering bushes, such as native narrow-leaf milkweed and other flowers that bloom year-round.

While it’s good news that the numbers are up, Pelton cautioned that they still are dangerously low representing more than a 90% drop from the number of monarchs that overwintered in California in the 1980s.

“We would like to see 500,000 butterflies,” she said.

“We’d like to see a million butterflies, which is more of the historic size that we saw in the ‘90s, not that long ago.” passed last week, dedicates The Biden administration’s $10 million over five years new infrastructure bill, for projects to benefit

monarchs by planting native flowers, adopting pollinatorfriendly land-management

practices, and removing non-native vegetation.

5 Tips to Wrap Gifts Like a Pro The thought is what truly counts, but a crisply wrapped package shows your loved ones just how much time and effort you put into their gifts this holiday season. For a gift that looks like it was wrapped by Santa himself, consider these tips:

The Gift of a Healthier Space Healing in Style

To make stockings extra special this year, consider a colorful and artistic way to cover and protect your family’s minor cuts, wounds and scrapes.

Designed by graphic artist Kendra Dandy, CURAD Flex-Fabric Bandages feature fun, fashionable designs in multiple shapes and sizes. These eye-catching, wearable pieces of art offer multi-purpose protection for everyone in the family, including kids and fun-loving adults. Find more information at curad.com.

A Gift for Car Aficionados

Shine a light on your home office or e-learning space with a solution like the OttLite Achieve LED Sanitizing Desk Lamp with proven, patented SpectraClean technology that safely breaks down harmful bacteria to create a healthier and more productive space.

1. Keep supplies together: Each year when you’re done wrapping, store your scissors, tape, ribbons, bows and tags together. That way, when it comes time to wrap this season’s gifts, you’re not searching for each item individually.

2. Pick the perfect paper: Shop for a few wrapping paper options that complement one another. This aids the appearance of your assortment of presents under the tree, so they provide an array of colors and styles without clashing.

3. Work in shorter sessions: Rather than trying to wrap all your gifts at once and burning yourself out, make it a fun experience by wrapping 2-3 presents at a time. Add joy to the task by playing your favorite holiday music or turning on a classic movie so it feels more like an exciting tradition than a chore.

4. Use household items as helpful tools: The neater you can keep your wrapping paper, the sharper it’ll look as a finished product. Cut an empty cardboard toilet paper roll down the side then use it as a cuff to wrap around your wrapping paper roll to avoid wrinkling. While you’re wrapping, an item as simple as a paper clip can make things easier – use it to mark the end of the tape on the roll or clip it on to the edge of your wrapping paper roll to keep things neat and tidy.

5. Tag gifts as soon as they’re wrapped: Corners that don’t seem as crisp as you hoped might be annoying but wrapping a group of gifts only to forget which is which can be downright frustrating. Once the kiddo’s newest toy is safely wrapped, make sure to immediately put a gift tag on the package before it’s mixed up with grandma’s sweater.
