The significance of 60 seconds can be observed in the context of time management and productivity. In a world where every second counts, dedicating just one minute to focused tasks can lead to substantial progress over time. For instance, if you take 60 seconds each day to set an intention, plan your day, or practice mindfulness, over a month, this simple act totals 30 minutes of mental clarity and focus. This accumulation of seemingly short intervals can significantly enhance overall efficiency, reduce stress, and foster a sense of accomplishment, highlighting that even brief moments can lead to meaningful outcomes when effectively utilized.
The Nicola Valley Community Arts Council is a non-profit or chartered charitable organization. It is stationed at the corner of Nicola and Voght Street in Merritt, British Columbia. They have some very nice artisan knitted sweaters. These are just waiting for you to come and own them. There is nothing like a soft, warm and comfortable sweater.
The left hand side of a set of medieval armor is the sinister side. The left hand of a left-handed person is the swinster’s side, don’t confuse the two. You may come home to a Lance you didn’t know existed.

Real place
Swinister is a real place, specifically a small settlement (hamlet) in the Shetland Islands of Scotland. While it sounds like a fictional word made to sound creepy, it has a distinct historical and linguistic origin rooted in Old Norse.
Here is a breakdown of what it is, what it means, and the specific atmosphere a town named “Swinister” would evoke.
1. What is it?
Swinister is a hamlet located on the Mainland of Shetland (the largest island in the archipelago). It is best known for a geological feature called the Ayres of Swinister, which is a “triple ayre” (a rare formation of three shingle beaches or sandbars that connect a small island to the mainland, forming a tidal lagoon).
2. What does it mean?
(Etymology)The name comes from Old Norse, the language spoken by the Vikings who settled the islands. It is a compound of two words: * Swin: Derived from either the Old Norse svín (meaning “swine” or “pig”) or the male personal name Sveinn (Sven). * Ister: A corruption of the Old Norse setr, meaning “dwelling,” “homestead,” or “pasture.”Therefore, Swinister literally translates to “Pig Farm” (or “Pig Pasture”) or “Svein’s Homestead.
“3. What would a town named “Swinister” connotate?
If you were writing a story or naming a fictional town “Swinister,” the name does heavy lifting because of its accidental association with modern English words. It carries a dual connotation:A. The “Folk Horror” Connotation (Linguistic)To a modern English speaker unaware of Norse etymology, “Swinister” sounds like a portmanteau of Swine and Sinister. * The Vibe: It sounds unsettling, rural, and perhaps morally corrupt. It evokes imagery of a backwater village with dark secrets, possibly involving gluttony, filth (swine), or ancient, malevolent traditions (sinister).
* The Setting:
Perfect for a Gothic horror story or a murder mystery set in a decaying agricultural community where the locals are hostile to outsiders.B. The “Rugged Northern” Connotation (Historical)To those familiar with Scottish or Nordic geography, the name connotes ancient history and rugged endurance. * The Vibe: Windswept, cold, isolated, and stoic. It suggests a place connected to the sea and the land, where life is hard and determined by the elements. * The Setting: A realistic historical drama or a nature-focused narrative about isolation in the North Sea.
Summary * Real Definition:
A remote hamlet in Shetland, Scotland, famous for a rare three-beach geological formation.
* Literal Meaning:
“Pig Farm” or “Sven’s Farm” (Old Norse).
* Fictional Connotation:
A “sinister” rural village, likely harboring dark secrets or ancient, muddy evils.

A Brief History
The Nicola Valley Community Arts Council (NVCAC) has been a central force in fostering arts and culture in Merritt, BC, for over four decades.History of the Nicola Valley Community Arts Council * Founding in 1982: The NVCAC was established in 1982 as a non-profit society, with a primary focus on the performing arts. * Launching the Community Concert Series: One of its founding and initial major projects was the Community Concert Series, which brought various musical concerts to Merritt. The Council also fundraised to purchase and maintain a grand piano for community use at the Civic Centre. * Expansion into Visual Arts (2005): In March 2005, the Arts Council moved into the historic Old Courthouse Building. This move allowed them to expand their mandate into the visual arts and open the Courthouse Art Gallery, giving them a permanent home for the first time in many years. * Major Relocation to the Jackson Building (2020): After 15 years, the NVCAC moved in the fall of 2020 to the more visible, downtown Jackson Building (at 2051 Voght Street). This new location, now known as the Nicola Valley Arts Centre, provided a larger, more accessible space for a gallery, an artisan gift shop, and a dedicated program space. * Focus on Community Programming: The NVCAC continues to champion the arts through year-round activities, including a monthly changing art gallery, operating an artisan gift shop featuring local crafts, and hosting various arts classes and workshops for adults and youth. * Public Art Initiatives and

Stop by this weekend
Say hello the the manger Angie and her ten volunteers and have a historical weekend.
The Red top burger shop in Merritt has been renovated. The restaurant closed for years and once operated by the famed Edna Taylor with her husband Al as an independent after being a Mr. Mike’s franchise, the relationship with Mr Mike’s soured and contributed to Als death. Edna operated Red Top as a widow withots of support from local business including her brother-in-law. The famous Ted Taylor who had a jewelry store and was a legion member extraordinaire.
The recent items included steel doors and trap closures that prevented it from being a hovel for dispossessed people.
It looks like it is ready for tenancy. It appears to be unlisted. A source says an first Nations band was the renovator and they’re going to use it for office space.
Edna Taylor had the same middle name, Marion; as John Wayne’s name, The Duke from cowboy fame had it as his real first name.
So, born in Salmon arm in 1927, Edna passed from this life in 2005.

The September equinox is a specific astronomical moment when the Sun crosses the celestial equator, moving from the Northern Hemisphere to the Southern Hemisphere. In the Northern Hemisphere, this event marks the beginning of astronomical fall (the autumnal equinox), while in the Southern Hemisphere, it marks the start of astronomical spring (the vernal equinox). Time and Duration of the Equinox The September equinox occurs at a precise moment in time, not over an entire day. In 2025, the equinox will occur on Monday, September 22, at 18:19 UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). The Sun is not “on” the equator for a duration but crosses it at that single moment. At this instant, the Sun’s rays shine directly on the equator. Daylight and Its Erosion The word “equinox” comes from the Latin for “equal night,” suggesting that day and night are of equal length. While this is a common approximation, it’s not perfectly accurate. Due to the way sunrise and sunset are defined (when the upper edge of the Sun’s disk appears on the horizon) and the refraction of sunlight by Earth’s atmosphere, the day is slightly longer than 12 hours everywhere on the planet on the day of the equinox. After the September equinox, daylight hours begin to erode in the Northern Hemisphere. The rate of this daylight loss is not constant. It is most rapid around the time of the equinox. For locations in the Northern Hemisphere, the amount of daylight lost can be several minutes per day, with the rate of loss increasing as you move farther north.
Daylight loss until September end.
