Los Angeles, Calif. – Jordin Canada came off the bench Friday to push No. 18 UCLA past No. 9 Washington, 90-79, and split a hard-fought series.
Canada, who didn't practice all week after an injury Sunday against Oregon State, led five Bruins in double figures with 22 points. Monique Billings added 19 and Nicole Kornet, 15.
Washington dominated the battle between the Pac 12's two highest-scoring teams last month, but in round two, it was all UCLA. Coach Cori Close credited her team's ability to change defenses for the win.
"I never felt like they got in that offensive rhythm that they're so efficient with," Close said. "I thought that was the difference in the game – we were really able to change the look, so they never got in that zone."
After a tight first quarter, the Bruins clamped down on defense in the second period, while Canada and Billings got hot, and they climbed out to a 41-28 lead at the 2:36 mark. The Huskies went on a run in the third quarter and cut the host's lead to two twice in the final minutes. But behind scoring from Canada and Billings, and put-backs by Kennedy Burke, who finished with 12 points on the day, the Bruins again stretched the lead for the convincing finish.
Kelsey Plum, who leads NCAA Division I in scoring, had 39 points for Washington. Chantel Osahor had 16 points and 10 rebounds, her national-best 23rd double-double of the season.
Canada suffered severe neck strain after a collision with Oregon State's Marie Gulich in the second quarter of Sunday's game. The conference assists leader took the court Friday and immediately returned to her regular role of pushing the pace. UCLA kept the Huskies on their heels all game long, forcing them into an uncharacteristic 14 turnovers, and capitalizing on second-chance points to out-do them, 18-2. Washington coach Mike Neighbors called the Bruin's put-backs and rebounds "demoralizing."
"You play tough defense on these guys and they get second chance points," he said. "They were really focused, they got the ball in the right spots. Anytime we made a mistake, they made us pay."
Neighbors said Canada was the difference for UCLA.
"She took a really tough shot against Oregon State, and she's a really tough kid. So if she's not playing there's usually somebody there telling her she can't play," Neighbors said. "We knew after the Oregon State game that she'll probably get back in the lineup. I saw her dressed out and I knew she was going to play."
"I thought they were very efficient without her, but then they took it to another level with her. She was in command. She really really ran her team, and got the ball to the right people at the right time."
The game changed the Pac 12 standings yet again, as Oregon State and Stanford are now tied for first place, Washington is in third and UCLA, fourth. With three regular-season games left, seedings in the upcoming conference tournament are anything but certain.
Close called the Huskies "such a good team." Neighbors had similar praise for the Bruins.
"This is a team that has a lot to play for in March," he said of UCLA, which advanced to the Sweet 16 last year. "There are only four games left, and they played like a team that really knows what it has to do. They are very consistent, very balanced."
Not only was it a comeback for Canada, it was a statement win for the Bruins, who lost both games last weekend to the Oregon schools. It was reminiscent of their January road trip to Washington, where they lost both games. But after dropping the game to the Oregon Ducks last Friday, UCLA remained in the locker room for over an hour to do what Close called soul searching and confrontation.
"We had some conversations that were very difficult. We had some confrontations, we talked about how we could be better teammates, demanding energy in practice, our focus," Close said. "It was one-on-one and as a group. What does it mean for me to be a better coach for you, what does it mean for me to be a better teammate? We were all together."
"I've done this probably about five times in my entire career…..it was probably not one of the most comfortable hours for our team, but it was no-holds barred, and honest. The reality was that everyone was holding up a mirror, asking, 'what do I want to take responsibility for?' And being honest about frustrations. Why do we not compete the way we know we can, and that's unacceptable in our program."
And though they lost to the Beavers two days later, Close noted the difference in how the team played.
"I was proud of our team at Oregon State. With Jordin down and for us to play with such poise," Close said. "We lost two games, but the Oregon and Oregon State game were very different feels……I was very pleased with how we competed at Oregon State, because we actually competed."
Close said they have carried forth the commitments they made to each other last weekend.
"It goes back to who you say you want to be. Are you just going to talk about it, or we going to go with it? It just came to that point……and I thought we made a decision," she said. "Coming off that weekend we were talking about, what are you going to do? We've always said our commitment must be greater than our feelings."
"That takes courage. It takes courage for an adult, let alone an 18-22-year-old. I'm really proud of their willingness to grow as young women and as teammates, and it really played out on the court (Friday)."
Washington, who went to the Final Four along with Oregon State last year, has been ranked atop the Pac 12 for much of this season, and clinched a bye in the first round of the conference tournament earlier this month. They have lost to Oregon State, Stanford and UCLA, and must beat USC, Utah and Colorado to earn a high seed. Neighbors said he and his team are once again in unchartered waters.
"It's new for us to have already clinched a bye in the Pac 12 Tournament. That's new territory for us, so how we handle that down the stretch will be really interesting for me to see," Neighbors said. "This was the time last year where we made great strides in practice. We'll if this group can do that. They've done everything else we've asked them to, so I don't suspect they won't be able to."
Canada, known for her warrior-like mentality on the court, was already playing with flu-like symptoms when she went down at Oregon State. She said she gleaned two objectives from the team meeting after the Oregon game.
"I learned to take care of my body more," she said. "Also….I (need to work on) creating more urgency for our team. I know it starts with me most of the time, and sometimes I'm inconsistent in those areas in practice. So even though I wasn't practicing (this week), I was making sure I remained engaged, and was talking to my teammates from the sidelines."
Kelsey Plum put up 39 points in the Huskies' loss to UCLA. She is three points shy of taking over the second spot on the NCAA Division I all-time scoring list. Ken Brooks/T.G.Sportstv1.
Plum has advanced up the NCAA Division I all-time career scoring list all season, and now has 3,280 career points – three shy of Brittney Griner's second-place career mark of 3,283. Jackie Stiles is the all-time scoring leader, with 3,393 points.
Neighbors said Plum has a lot of respect for every player she has eclipsed, but remains focused on team wins.
"I stopped caring about (the record) when she stopped caring about it," he said.
Canada and Plum played against each other in high school in Southern California, and have remained friends. They shared some words in the post-game handshake line.
"I told her how much I respect her game," Canada said. "Just when you think she can't get any better, she does. That motivates me to get better. I let her know that at the end of the game, and told her I was proud of her."

JEP 109: Enhance Core Libraries with Lambda
Authors Stuart Marks, Mike Duigou
Owner Stuart Marks
Status Closed / Delivered
JSR 335
JEP 155: Concurrency Updates
Depends JEP 126: Lambda Expressions & Virtual Extension Methods
Enhance the Java core library APIs using the new lambda language feature to improve the usability and convenience of the library.
The primary goal is to modernize the general library APIs by adding the use of Lambda in suitable locations. Most implementations will be provided as extension methods upon existing classes. We will target high-traffic areas of the library and add Lambda APIs where we think it will have the most benefit. Ideally, Lambda would appear in the API wherever a programmer familiar with Lambda would expect it to be. Alternatively, we'd like mainstream programmers to stumble over Lambda APIs in the library and think, "Oh cool, they added a Lambda here, and that lets me solve my problem more easily."
A secondary goal is to inform the design of Lambda language feature by using Lambda in library APIs, calling them from real code, evaluating the results, and providing feedback to the Lambda language/compiler team.
Goals can be summarized as follows:
Introduce a new idiom, lambda functions, to the existing libraries;
Improve utility and convenience of libraries with lambda functions;
Demonstrate best practices for extension methods; and
Demonstrate innovation and evolution of the familiar core libraries.
It is not a goal to use Lambda in every possible place it could be used, nor will the scope extend beyond core libraries. For example, client, XML, and CORBA are not covered by this effort.
Very little new functionality will be added to the core classes with this enhancement -- only new ways of doing familiar tasks.
There are no specific goals for the proportion of APIs that are upgraded to use Lambda, that is, nothing like "we will add Lambda to xx% of the library."
Success will be evaluated based upon the degree to which the new APIs and features are adopted by developers. For complete success use of the Lambda features will become the default idiom for using the core libraries by Java developers.
"Language design is library design.
Library design is language design." -- Andrew R. Koenig
Java 8 will include a new language feature called Lambda. Having this feature in the language is useful, but with just language changes for Lambda, the platform is incomplete. It will make the platform much more valuable to have Lambda support added to appropriate areas of the library API.
In the past several years, a variety of new programming languages have emerged and are gaining popularity. Most of these languages have some kind of block, closure, or first-class function construct. While Java is still the #1 programming language, the common view is that it hasn't kept up with recent developments in programming languages. This is well recognized as a motivation for the Lambda language feature itself. However, it's also necessary to consider library APIs that support the use of Lambda. The alternative languages all have libraries, and their APIs are tuned to work well -- smoothly and idiomatically -- with the closures or function objects provided by the language.
Similarly, with Java, we expect that as time progresses the use of Lambda will become widespread and various coding idioms will develop around this feature. The Java library APIs will need to be enhanced to support idiomatic usage with Lambda alongside their current, conventional usage.
This project has two phases:
A survey phase to identify candidates for Lambda API enhancements; and
A scoping and implementation phase to prioritize and select a subset of the candidates and to implement them.
Candidate Survey
There are several approaches to discovering candidate sites for adding Lambda-based APIs. One approach is to examine other systems with similar language features and to look at their libraries and see how they use closures and functions.
Consider Ruby for instance. The Ruby language supports a variety of first class function-like constructs. These are useful in and of themselves, in that they enable programmers to use a functional style of programming, to create higher order functions, to compose functions, etc. In addition, since the Ruby class library was developed along with a language that supports first-class functions, many APIs in the class library make use of them. We can look through the Ruby class libraries to find examples that we can use as inspiration for potential enhancements to the Java libraries. Some of these examples from Ruby's class library include the following:
The Integer class has times, upto, downto, and step methods that support a variety of arithmetic iteration constructs. This removes the need to have a variety of such iteration constructs defined in the language.
The File class has a variation of the open method that takes a block. The file is opened, passed to the block, and is closed when the block returns. This helps avoid resource leaks, and it reduces the need to have special execute-around constructs in the language (such as Java 7's try-with-resources construct).
The HTTP API classes have several methods that take blocks. For example, the HTTPResponse class has an each method that calls a block that takes (header, value) pairs.
In the Tk binding for Ruby, the widget creation method new takes a block that is executed in the context of the newly created widget, which provides a convenient and concise way of initializing the widget.
It's clear that there are many opportunities for using Lambda outside the collections classes. There is no requirement to implement Lambda-based APIs everywhere that Ruby does, but given Ruby's popularity and mindshare it seems reasonable to look to Ruby's class library for initial ideas. It might also be reasonable to look examine other systems, such as Groovy, Scala, Python, Clojure, and Smalltalk to find similar inspiration for Lambda use in library APIs.
Another approach is to look through existing Java code -- both within the library and outside, e.g. from the Qualitas Corpus -- and do pattern matching or synthesis to discover candidates. A set of techniques might be as follows:
Run through the APIs and add an each() or forEach() method to anything that plausibly contains a collection of something, or that can be iterated over, even if it's not a collection. For example, a forEachLine() method might be added to java.nio.file.Files that calls a Lambda for each line in that file.
Look for opportunities to use the execute-around idiom. For example, files must be closed after use, locks must be unlocked after use, etc.
Look for classes that implement Iterable and consider whether a Lambda would be useful to invert the flow of control.
Look for for-loops and while-loops in code and consider Lambda for inverting the flow of control.
Identify abstract classes with one or two abstract methods, and consider adding constructors or factories that takes lambdas. Also consider this for interfaces. The pattern is where implementation is to be "filled in" via overriding; consider how to convert this into passing a Lambda as a parameter.
Scoping and Implementation
The resulting set of candidates will probably be too long to implement in the JDK 8 time frame. They will need to be prioritized and then truncated to fit into the available schedule, with a given set of resources (people) allocated to the project. Prioritization can be according to subjective importance of the library, but it would be good to have some usage data to back it up. For example, it might be useful to do a survey over the Qualitas Corpus to determine which areas of the library are the most heavily used.
Language Design Issues
During API development using Lambda, the following issues should be considered and relevant information should be fed back to the Lambda language design team.
Exception transparency: do you find a need to write lambda expressions that can throw checked exceptions? do you need extra sets of SAM types that have 'throws' clauses, maybe generic 'throws E'? is the result extremely tedious?
Variance: Utility methods for functional interfaces will probably make heaver use of wildcards than anything else in the API; is this extremely tedious? Would it be useful to have better/less verbose variance support?
Unboxed overriding: Would it be useful in the design of functional interfaces to allow primitive/void return types to override reference return types, such as Predicate<T> <: Function<T, Boolean> for example?
Abstract class functional interfaces: In the previous item about abstract classes for, is it the case that there are so many useful candidates that it would be nice to directly support abstract classes as functional interfaces, rather than having to manually define a subclass?
Generic-method functional interfaces: Do you find it useful to have a functional interface that has a generic method, like: interface MapFactory { <K,V> Map<K,V> make(); }. Note the significant point here is that it is the method that is generic, not the interface. This is not currently supported; the benefit is that new type arguments can be inferred for every invocation, which may be useful in some applications.
Chaining inference: In expressions like 'foo().bar(23)', the type arguments for 'foo' are inferred independently of the 'bar(23)' part of the expression. We plan to improve the use of context in inference for many cases, but we're still looking for some experience that would justify taking it this far.
Method reference disambiguation: Do you find a need to explicitly disambiguate method references (when the method is overloaded or there's a static/instance clash), either by writing a full signature or giving up and using a lambda expression instead?
Tests will need to be developed for each new API that is added to the system. New APIs are largely independent of each other, so it should be simple to test them individually. Furthermore, the API enhancements are likely to consist largely of adding new methods that do not impact other APIs in the same class. So, testing of these new APIs should be fairly straightforward and should not impact existing tests that use current APIs.
Adding an additional programming idiom increases the complexity for new users. If Lambda APIs are added piecemeal all over the system, they may tend to diverge in style. It would probably be beneficial to do a survey first and to develop a consistent style that is applied across the library.
One point that mitigates risk is that since the API enhancements are largely independent of each other, it is possible to change scope without too much project impact. That is, consider the scope to be a prioritized list of API enhancements. A line will be drawn at a certain point depending upon project schedule and staffing. If this line needs to move for any reason, this should have no impact on work already done, and little replanning should be necessary because the items are largely independent of each other. For the same reason, it should also be possible to reprioritize the list without too much effort, should new information become available while the project is underway.
Using these new APIs intermixed with the existing APIs has the prospect of making user code bases more complicated to maintain.
This work depends only on the actual lambda implementation.
Even this is a fairly soft dependency, as lambdas are expressed as SAMs in the API. It's possible to add functional-interface-based APIs even before lambda has been integrated, though it won't be possible for callers to use lambda at that point.
JCP: These are all changes to the public API, so they will end up modifying JCP-controlled specifications. These change to existing core library classes should be small enough not to require their own JSR; they should be covered under the platform JSR. The new classes required (functional interfaces) will be designed and reviewed by the JSR 335 EG. Of course, the appropriate review processes must all be followed.
Other JDK components: Lambda implementation
Compatibility: API changes are unlikely to introduce incompatibilities.
Documentation: There will probably need to be some new tutorials to show how Lambda can be used with the new library constructs, or to have a series of small examples illustrating common usage. It may be that Lambdas are difficult to discern when looking through javadoc, so it might be useful or necessary to have some new javadoc syntax or possibly different javadoc output formatting to highlight in some unique way the APIs that use lambda. An additional possibility is to make sure that the javadoc for each of the new Lambda-accepting APIs includes an example of its use.


This is the range specifically of ceramic Kazuri bracelets that we have. Each bracelet is of the wrap around style, which makes it flexible enough to fit any size of wrist. Many of the bracelets here have matching necklaces or earrings in the other Kazuri jewellery available, so do look at the entire range of ceramic from Kazuri.
Look through our range of ceramic bracelets at Bazaar Africa, or use the main menu to look at the different categories of bracelets, or Kazuri in general. All of it is hand crafted in Kenya, at Karen. These Kazuri bead bracelets are spiral, so fitting any wrist comfortably, or can be worn around the upper arm. All the beads are hand made, before being fired and glazed, then re-fired. The beading workshop, where they are made, sits under the Ngong Hills in Kenya, and was founded by the late Lady Susan Wood – wife of one of the founders of the African Flying Doctors Service. Her wish was to bring employment to single mothers, so that they could earn a living wage. "Kazuri" means small and beautiful in Swahili.


Have you been longing to get out on the open road and see all of the beauty that is in this country? While you could fly throughout the country, you are going to miss the small things that make this country so great.
You know exactly what I am talking about. Those odd little attractions that no one ever admits to going t, yet they are very popular.
Yes, I am looking at you world's largest roll of yarn!
As cheesy as those types of attractions may be, it is those attractions that make a road trip so much fun. There is nothing quite like getting lost on an incredible journey through the states. However, this is nothing you want to do in a cramped little car.
For this type of adventure, you are going to want to take your time and fully explore the country in an incredible RV. Imagine having your own home on wheels as you cruise the country?
Many people think that an RV is way out of their price range. While that may be true for many as it would be a large investment, we are going to talk about the next best option – renting an RV.
By choosing to rent an RV, you can experience the fun and excitement without the heavy investment often associated with the purchase and maintenance of an RV.
An RV can be rented for a weekend, week, or an entire season or year. However long you feel you are going to need to explore what you want. At the end of the rental you may find that a home on wheels is your dream. From that point you can the look into purchasing an RV.
That is a way off, so let's see what is is so great to rent an RV for a short or extended vacation. One of the main reasons is the fact that you are truly in charge of your destiny. You can come and go as you please. There is no need to worry about hotel reservations again. In fact, as long as you can get to a Walmart to park for the evening you are set for nightly accommodations!
If you feel that RV traveling is the life for you, why not give it a try for a weekend. Look for a local campground and try it out. You may be surprised at just how much fun it can be!
How much do you know about RV traveling? If you've never done this sort of traveling before, you should take a closer look at the perks that traveling in an RV can give you. If you have an RV, these are just some of the things you'll be able to enjoy.
When you have an RV, you'll never have to find a hotel or another place to stay in. Your accommodations will come with you. You'll have a bed that's ready to sleep in, and you'll be able to go to any place you like.
Staying in an RV gives you flexibility. When you have an RV, you don't have to worry about booking a hotel room ahead of time. It can also save you money. After all, hotel rooms can be very expensive. You'll be able to avoid some of the hassles of traveling.
If you haven't checked out RVs in a while, you might be surprised to see all of the amenities that they offer. A lot of RVs actually look like they are small homes. You can enjoy all of the things that you have at home, from TV to a kitchen. You can have a home that can travel with you.
There are plenty of people that love RV travel. If you're camping in RV parks, you'll have the opportunity to meet some of these people, and you could even wind up making some lifelong friendships.
If you don't meet a lot of new people these days, you should try to find a way to bring more people into your life. If you have an RV, you'll be able to meet a number of people that you never would have been able to meet otherwise. You'll connect with many people and form lasting relationships.
There are so many great reasons to give RV traveling a try. You should learn more about it and what it can do for you. Start looking at RVs and see if this is something that you would like to pursue. Like many other people, you just might wind up falling in love with RVs.
Have you ever dreamed of traveling across the country to see what is out there? Traveling the country is a dream that many of us have, but are not too sure of how to accomplish. Believe it or not, it is not all that difficult to see this incredible country. There are wonders out there that you simply have to see to fully enjoy and appreciate.
You may be asking then, how do I manage to see all of these wonders with the cost of airfare so high and limited time on my hands? Thankfully, you are reading this short article from https://thervnomad.com/, as we are going to discuss one of the simplest and most fun ways to experience this country.
The best way to travel across the gorgeous country is through the assistance of an RV.
Now we know what you are thinking. However, RV traveling has changed incredibly over the years, and it is not what it once was. Todays RVs are gorgeous and luxurious vehicles that make it easy for anyone to travel around the country.
Whether you are looking to go east to west or north to south, an Rv is one of the best choices you can make.
When you are in an RV, you have full control of your destination. How many times have you been on a road trip and saw some obscure destination that you would have loved to have visited? However, it would take you far off your route and away from a hotel you already had reservations for? I know, I have been in this very situation and regretted it many times. Having an RV allows you to come and go whenever you please and see whatever you want. There is never a need to worry about getting off course as you are the one who is in charge of your destination.
If you have traveled recently, you are fully aware of how much one night in a hotel can be in addition to eating out every single day. An RV is going to give you all of the comforts of home plus some you just may not have! Many RV are quite spacious and offer everything you could want in a home away from home. All you need to do is find a parking area and you are well on your way to an incredible day of fun.
Before you book your next vacation, look into renting an RV for an adventure of a lifetime!


Oxadiazolines are bench-stable diazo precursors, which are activated under UV radiation in the presence of vinylboronic acids and aldehydes to enable a one-step three-component assembly of densely functionalized homoallylic alcohols. Substitution on all positions of the homoallylic alcohol product were achieved with high functional group tolerance. No catalyst or other additive was required to effect the reaction, which proceeds at 20 °C over 40 min. Imines and indoles were also incorporated, giving access to homoallylic amines.

President John F. Kennedy was brutally honest about what would prove to be one of the worst performances of an American leader with his leading global counterpart of his time – his two-day summit with Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev.
As he drove away from the Soviet embassy with Secretary of State Dean Rusk in his black limo, Kennedy banged the flat of his hand against the shelf beneath the rear window. Rusk had been shocked that Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev had used the word "war" during their acrimonious exchange about Berlin's future, a term diplomats invariably replaced with any number of less alarming synonyms.
Despite all the president's pre-summit briefings, Rusk felt Kennedy had been unprepared for Khrushchev's brutality. The extent of Vienna Summit's failure would not be as easy to measure as the Bay of Pigs fiasco six weeks earlier. There would be no dead, CIA-supported exile combatants in a misbegotten landing area, who had risked their lives on the expectation that Kennedy and the United States would not abandon them.
However, the consequences could have be even bloodier. A little more than two months after Vienna, the Soviet would oversee the construction of the Berlin Wall. That, in turn, would be followed in October 1962 by the Cuban Missile Crisis. Already in Vienna Kennedy was distraught that Khrushchev, assuming that he was weak and indecisive, might engage in the sort of "miscalculation" that could lead to the threat of nuclear war. He didn't know then that his prediction would become prophesy.
Kennedy carried with him from Vienna to London, for his follow-up meeting with Prime Minister Harold Macmillan, the Khrushchev aide-memoire delivered in Vienna that detailed the Soviet demands for a German settlement within six months, "or else." If the Soviets made it public, as Kennedy had to assume they would, his critics would accuse him of having walked into a Berlin trap in Vienna that he should have seen coming.
Before leaving Vienna himself, Kennedy met in a private room, behind closed blinds, at the U.S. ambassador's residence with New York Times columnist James "Scotty" Reston. He wanted to get across to Reston the seriousness of the situation, and then use him as a conduit to paint a grim picture for the American people. He spoke to Reston in the tone of the confessional.
Kennedy wore a hat pulled low on his forehead as he sunk into the sofa. It would be one of the most candid sessions ever between a reporter and a commander-in-chief.
"How was it?" asked Reston.
Even Kennedy, however, underestimated just how quickly Khrushchev would act.

I clicked the link of course expecting to hear about the day Kennedy was shot and killed, as that would be the day that he lost everything past, present and future. Being murdered with a young family at the prime of your life would seem to be the worst day of most people's life.
But when I realized the topic I had to agree with the author/headline writer (not always the same person, yet since this is an excerpt not an article I suspect it is).
This would be the day (arguably) that Kennedy failed to prevent the chain of events which would culminate in the nearest to extinction homo sapiens had ever come.
The death and extinction not only of civilization, but most living things, that would be worse.

2 children die in San Bernardino drunk-driving crash that also killed their father
(Francine Orr / Los Angeles Times)
SAN BERNARDINO —
Two of four children who were injured in a San Bernardino drunk-driving crash that killed their father have also died, police say.
The children were 2 and 4 years old, Sgt. John Echevarria told the Riverside Press-Enterprise on Tuesday.
Police did not indicate when the children died.
Another child was in serious condition Tuesday and a fourth had moderate injuries, Echevarria said.
The children and their 31-year-old father, all from Bakersfield, were in a Toyota Camry that was broadsided by a speeding Ford Mustang that ran a red light last Friday, authorities said. The Camry caught fire.
The identities of the victims weren't immediately released.
The Mustang's driver, Brandon Jaquez-Perez, 23, of Bloomington in San Bernardino, was arrested on suspicion of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and driving under the influence of alcohol.
It wasn't immediately clear whether he had an attorney to speak on his behalf.

Next Time On… Moon Knight season 1, episode 4

The latest episode of Moon Knight covered a lot more ground than usual, thanks mostly to Marc Spector being in control for the first time. We were whisked away to Egypt, where Marc/Steven, Layla, and Khonshu attempted to track down the location of Ammit's tomb before Harrow did, all while trying not to annoy the Egyptian pantheon so much that they encased Khonshu in stone. Naturally, this didn't exactly work out, meaning that Moon Knight season 1, episode 4 will likely feature a rescue mission as Marc/Steven and Layla try to rescue Khonshu without the aid of any of his powers. Here's what went down:
The gang tried to track down Ammit's tomb in Egypt despite neither Marc nor Layla being especially welcome in Cairo.
Khonshu was warned by the other deities that any further meddling in human affairs would cause him to be punished, and Marc/Steven didn't qualify as a character witness because of his obvious mental instability.
Since the location of Ammit's tomb was incredibly secret, it was known only to one other, whose resting place the gang are able to track down thanks to a dodgy antiquities dealer.
Using a star chart recovered from that tomb, the location of Ammit's tomb was able to be deciphered using the position of a particular constellation, but Khonshu has to send the sky itself back through time in order to get things exactly right. This led to him being encased in stone by the other Gods.
Moon Knight season 1, episode 4 release date
The next episode of Moon Knight is slated for release on Wednesday, April 13. It'll be the third of a planned six episodes, all airing on Wednesday.
Moon Knight season 1, episode 1 aired on March 30, 2022.
Moon Knight season 1, episode 2 aired on April 6, 2022.
Moon Knight season 1, episode 3 aired on April 13, 2022.
Moon Knight season 1, episode 4 will air on April 20, 2022.
Moon Knight season 1, episode 6 will air on May 4, 2022.
Where to watch Moon Knight online
Moon Knight is available exclusively on Disney+, and can only be watched with a subscription.
Moon Knight plot and trailer
From IMDb:
A former U.S. Marine, struggling with dissociative identity disorder, is granted the powers of an Egyptian moon god. But he soon finds out that these newfound powers can be both a blessing and a curse to his troubled life.
Predictions and preview for the next episode:
It seems like a rescue mission will be on the cards, but how will Steven/Marc and Layla fare without the powers of the Moon Knight? It'll require some teamwork.
It seems very much like a third alternate personality was teased during one of the action sequences in "The Friendly Type", and odds are that this is a version of Jake Lockley.
I'm still very much into the idea of Marc-Steven-Layla love triangle, and I think the latest episode only validated that theory.
