TO BE OR NOT TO BE A PILOT BY MICHEL TRESKIN EDITOR JENNIFER J. LACELLE NOVEMBER 24, 2021
Many of my friends who have teenagers are always asking me if they wanted to become pilots, would this be good idea especially in today’s time. My answer has always been the same especially in the last five years or so: it’s a good time to become a pilot. It doesn’t matter if it is as an airline pilot or any other position in the aviation theater. One thing for sure is that the airlines are going to face a second pilot shortage in the very near future. Even though, in the past year, many pilots have lost their job due to the pandemic.

BRICKS VS CLICKS WILL BRICK AND MORTAR STORES LAST MUCH LONGER IN THE DIGITAL AGE?
BY FRED LAZAR DECEMBER 16, 2021
IINTA MAGAZINE | JANUARY 2022 | 24
Online purchases have been accounting for an increasing share of total consumer expenditures on goods and services, at least in most of the largest economies in the world. Will this trend continue, and if so, what are the implications for retail stores? Can the trend be halted or even reversed? Will the Omicron variant of the Covid virus accelerate this trend?
The hills are alive with the sound of history!
SALZBURG, AUSTRIA By Jennifer J. Lacelle November 18, 2021 This stunning country is a site for sore eyes if you’re tired of looking at the same old surroundings day after day. Not that where you may live isn’t pretty, sometimes it’s good to get away and allow yourself to be drawn into the captivating world. The mountainous, land-locked country of Austria may have become best known for the von Trapp family in the 1965 movie The Sound of Music (starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer), there’s much more splendor to find in this peaceful, little country. While the movie was based off the book by Maria von Trapp, who published her family’s story in 1949, the theatrical depiction of Austrian culture wasn’t accurate. Despite the inaccurate portrayal of many facets in their country, and entirely missing what Salzburg is really like, the movie gained global success (excluding Germany and Austria).

REFURBISHING USED CANDLES REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE BY JENNIFER J. LACELLE DECEMBER 7, 2021
With the windows and doors clamped shut over the winter months, it’s likely a good number of candles will be used to freshen up the air. But, what becomes of the leftover candle wax? There are a multitude of candle types, so be sure to know which ones are safe to re-use and which to toss. That being said, some used up candles can be recycled for different purposes.
Make Another Candle Creating a “new candle” may be the best option if the wax is made of paraffin or scented, but will work with any left-over wax there happens to be. Ensure the essentials are on hand: Wax Warmer (Or Double Boiler) Scissors Tongs Wicks New Jar (if needed) Spoon (Wooden is best)
Depending on the form of the extra wax, the old jar can either be placed in the warmer (if that’s where it is) or use a double-boiler and place the extra shards of wax into the top section. Also, do not heat directly on a stove top (hence the double boiler). It’s important not to let water get into the wax itself because it could bubble and splash. When melting the candles, be sure to remove the old wicks safely with the tongs. Place the new wicks on the bottom of the jars. From here, either use a clothes pin to hold the wick above the jar’s edge or wrap it around a pencil. Both keep the wick straight up. Be prepared to grab the top pot with protected hands to pour the melted wax into the new jar. From here, simply pour the melted wax into the new candle holder. Allow the wax to cool completely.

WALK THE EARTH
ACTIVE VS PASSIVE GETTING AND STAYING ACTIVE IN THE NEW YEAR WITH YOUR RESOLUTIONS.
BY ANNA RHYMER EDITOR JENNIFER J. LACELLE DECEMBER 17, 2021
PAGE 25
The “post-holiday” hustle and bustle is finally in the past and a brand-new year is underway, chocked full of opportunity and goals! Making New Year’s Resolutions is a long-standing tradition based on self-improvement; practiced far and wide with similar intents among people of all nations. How are New Year’s Resolutions made and executed? Well, there are many people who simply say, “I’m going to quit alcohol” or “I’m going to exercise and eat well every day and lose 40 pounds,” or even, “I’m going to increase my income level by 25 per cent.” Is that all they have to do? If only…

THE PRICE OF FREEDOM...
RELEASED FROM BATTLE By Jennifer J. Lacelle December 20, 2021 There are a special group of people in society who step up to the plate and put their lives in danger to defend their family, home and country. Too many who complete this arduous journey return very different people and can often no longer fit society’s mold. In the United States, statistics report approximately 20-22 veterans commit suicide every day. That’s a minimum of 7,300 people each year. Homelessness is also prevalent in veterans, especially those whose relationships and marriages fall apart, and are unable to hold down jobs. Lieutenant Commander Mark Keller, a retired US Navy Naval Flight Officer, was almost another veteran who couldn’t escape the ghosts of war. Prior to mid-2021, if anyone were to ask Keller how he felt since retirement, it wouldn’t have been a good answer. IINTA MAGAZINE | JANUARY 2022 | 46

STARTING FRESH THE MENTAL, PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL BENEFITS OF TAKING SPA DAYS. BY NIGELLE FREDETTE EDITOR JENNIFER J. LACELLE DECEMBER 17, 2021
In today's busy world, the ongoing demands of work and life often lead us to feeling overwhelmed with what seems to be endless restrictions and challenges. The current pandemic has undoubtedly contributed to increased levels of stress in a great number of people. Apparently, a survey by the US Census Bureau, reported 42% of people having depression or anxiety. Furthermore, it’s a jump of 11% from the previous year’s survey, all of which as reported by Medical News Today. What will 2021’s reported number be?

BY JENNIER J. LACELLE DECEMBER 17, 2021
Most artists know from a young age that music is in their veins. It’s in the way they move, what they enjoy, their behaviour and all the rest. This inherit ability might not be something they are consciously aware of until much older though.
When it comes to Justine Giles, born in Sudbury, Ontario, she realized and knew there was something musical inside her at a young age. She grew up watching her own father, Craig, perform at live events and her interest kept growing.

CB WINE PROGRAM CELEBRATORY WINES BY DOUGLAS LANDSBOROUGH EDITOR JENNIFER J. LACELLE DECEMBER 29, 2021
As we replace the calendars on our walls, we do not need any further reason to celebrate than surviving yet another strange year. In the spirit of celebration, the wines in this month’s CB Wine Program aren’t meant for cellaring and opening once they’ve matured to perfection. Rather, these wines are for celebrating, opening now and sharing with friends and family as we usher in a new year. Hailing from an amazing small project on the coast of Roussillon in the southwest of France. Wines from this region aren’t necessarily known for their kinship to traditional French winemaking; rather, the style of these wines is closer to Catalan culture. This means that you should be expecting flavours that are a combination of fresh fruits and long, complex finishes with grapes grown on old, goblet trained vines.
In this month’s box, three bottles of superb reds will fill your senses with world-class flavours of crunchy red fruit from Grenache (or, in one case, Grenache and Syrah). For such young wines, you will find that the acidity gives them a verve and bright open that combines with the complexity of older grapes. The fourth bottle, an incredible white, delivers a similar experience while delivering a floral profile and a long, bright finish. Pair it with basically any cheese, especially those included in this month’s huge selection from the Cheese Boutique, for a memorable experience. As we send, indulge in these wines with loved ones and great food for amazing bottles that don’t make you wait for years. Here are some of the details of this month’s wines:

BOOKS TO FILM LEADING THE CHARGE! BY JENNIFER J. LACELLE DECEMBER 10, 2021
Artists rely on their imagination to make fictional worlds come alive. Even stories based on factual events have to be re-created in a world of their own. It’s simply the way it works when telling stories. Over the last few decades, the surge of book to film adaptations has soared! While it was always of interest, the uptick of potential creations has continued to increase with the rise of stories and technology. IINTA MAGAZINE | JANUARY 2022 | 72
